New Rochelle Tournament

I really hope we get a great turn out for the event. It really is a great fishery and July is a prime time for bass. I hate to say it but it but it is almost a slam dunk to catch at this time of year, every rock holds a fish.

|The effects of an extradural expanding lesion on regional intracranial pressure, blood flow, somatosensory conduction and brain herniation: an experimental study in baboons.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2386086 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Intracranial pressure (ICP) differences, change of local blood flow (CBF) using the hydrogen clearance technique, change in the somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) to median nerve stimulation and pupillary size were investigated during progressive elevation of the ICP (using an extradural balloon) in 6 anaesthetized baboons. CBF was measured in the frontal cortex, somatosensory cortex, thalamus (nucleus ventralis posterior lateralis-VPL), medial lemniscus (ML), lateral lemniscus (LL) and caudate nucleus (CN). Conduction along the somatosensory pathway between C2 at the neck and VPL was compared with conduction between VPL and primary somatosensory cortex. The amplitude of the cortical SEP was also studied. ICP gradients between hemispheres developed as the pressure was increased to in excess of 50 mm Hg. CBF was significantly reduced from control in the cortex and VPL on the side ipsilateral to the balloon at 50 mm Hg ICP. A significant decrease in ML flow occurred bilaterally at 70 mm Hg ICP. Conduction time was increased significantly between the right VPL and cortex at a pressure of 50 mm Hg. The amplitude of the cortical response was significantly reduced at 30 mm Hg on the right side and 50 mm Hg on the left. Aniscoria occurred at 50 mm Hg ICP and the pupils became dilated at 70 mm Hg. The SEP was possibly more sensitive than the pupillary reactions as an indication of tentorial herniation in these experiments.

Navasota is a city in Grimes County, Texas, United States. The population was 7,049 at the 2010 census. In 2005, the Texas Legislature named the city "The Blues Capital of Texas," in honor of the late Mance Lipscomb, a Navasota native and blues musician.
Navasota is located west of Texas State Highway 6. State Highways 105 and 90 intersect with State Highway 6 in Navasota, with the city located between Houston and College Station, Texas.
Navasota was founded in 1831 as the stagecoach stop of Nolansville. Its name was changed in 1858 to Navasota, a name perhaps derived from the Native American word nabatoto ("muddy water").[3]
After September 1859, when the Houston and Texas Central Railway built into the town, Navasota became important as a shipping and marketing center for the surrounding area. Whereas nearby Washington on the Brazos protested the coming of the rails, the old historic town forfeited its geographic advantage, and it began to decline as many of its businesses and residences began a sure migration to the new railhead across the Brazos River at Navasota.
Slaves were a large part of the local economy, as they were imported, traded, and used to work in the many local cotton plantations. Guns were made in nearby Anderson, and cotton, gunpowder, and shoes were made, processed, and stored there for the Southern Confederacy during the American Civil War. By 1865, the population was about 2,700. All during the Civil War, all the marketable goods produced in the region were brought to Navasota, then the furthest inland railhead in Texas, to be shipped south to Galveston, where they could be transported by steamboat from the Texas coast and up the Mississippi River to the war effort, or exported to Mexico or overseas to Europe.
As of 2013, the population was estimated at 7,262.[4] The industrial sector of the community now boasts 23 companies and over 1200 jobs. In 2009, Navasota was selected as a "Visionaries in Preservation" city by the Texas Historical Commission to protect the numerous historical structures in the city. A new municipal building was completed in 2011 and continued downtown improvements are under construction with completion scheduled in 2013.
Also in 2012, Navasota Municipal Airport completed an expansion to 5000 ft long by 75 ft wide, now allowing jets on the runway.
The City of Navasota earned a 2011 Gold Leadership Award from the Texas Comptroller's Office for efforts in transparency. Its application scored 17 of 20 points. The City of Navasota was one of 70 (out of over a thousand) cities in Texas to receive the Gold status. Also, the city received the award in 2013. In 2014, the City of Navasota earned the Platinum Leadership Award, the highest status given by the Texas Comptroller.
In 2012, Navasota was named by Union Pacific Railroad as a Train Town USA. More details here: http://www.uprr.com/newsinfo/releases/community/2012/train-towns/0828_navasota.shtml
In August 2013, the City of Navasota was named a Go Texan "Certified Retirement Community" by the Texas Department of Agriculture. http://www.retireintexas.org/Home/CertifiedRetirementCommunities/Navasota.aspx
Also in 2013, the city was named a "Playful City USA" by Kaboom! http://kaboom.org/take_action/playful_city_usa/2013_playful_city_usa_communities
Navasota is served by the weekly Navasota Examiner newspaper, which has been reporting on the goings-on in Grimes County since 1894. The city is also home to the Navasota News 1550 AM, owned and managed by Bryan Broadcasting, which broadcasts the local Navasota Rattlers football games.
In 2013, the British documentary project known as Vague Direction visited Navasota and featured local residents Misslette The Singing Cowgirl and Steve Stribling, a local hog trapper.[5]
Navasota has some shops and artisans in its historic downtown district, typified by antique, gift, and junk stores housed in old classic stone and brick structures, and live plays at the Sunny Furman Theatre. Navasota Blues Alley is in the heart of the downtown district, and offers blues memorabilia, museum exhibits, art, vintage music and radios, and much more. The city also has golfing facilities and parks, as well as wineries.
Navasota retains a number of historic Victorian homes on Washington Avenue, the main residential and commercial thoroughfare through town. Another historic edifice is Brule Field, a natural amphitheater built out of native stone by the Great Depression-era Works Progress Administration. It served as the primary grid for the local high school football team, the Navasota Rattlers, until the new stadium was constructed in 2006. Several native-stone churches also remain near downtown, with distinctive Victorian fronts.
The city is also home to two statues of French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle, including a bronze monument, dedicated in 1936 by the DAR, to celebrate the explorations of the famous French explorer. The second is a stone bust that was previously in downtown, and was rededicated by the French consulate in May 2012 at the August Horst Park. The bust was donated to the city by the French government in 1978. Supposedly, La Salle was murdered by one of his men somewhere near present-day Navasota, while looking for the Mississippi Valley and the way back to French-held lands near the Great Lakes. After numerous voyages, explorations of the Mississippi valley, trading ventures and several mutinies, La Salle's bones are believed to have found their resting place in the Navasota Valley.
Seasonally, Navasota is visited in the spring for bluebonnets. The Blues Bluebonnets & BBQ music festival is held in April, celebrating the birthday of Mance Lipscomb.[6] A summer festival, the Navasota Bluesfest, every second weekend in August in the Blues Capital of Texas, honors the memory of blues man Mance Lipscomb, who recorded numerous albums and lived in Navasota all of his life. The celebration raises money for college scholarships for local students.[7] A statue of Mance Lipscomb is now a part of Mance Lipscomb Park, near downtown. A statue of Frank Hamer stands in front of city hall, honoring the time he served as city marshal, connecting to the time Mance Lipscomb was his buggy driver. Local artist and sculptor Russell Cushman designed and built the bronze statue. The nearby Texas Renaissance Festival is held near Plantersville in the fall. Also nearby is Washington on the Brazos state park and the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.1 square miles (16 km2), of which 6.1 square miles (16 km2) is land and 0.16% is water.

What makes this tablet underscore the iPad Mini?
4 people like this answer
Clicking the mark as good answer button helps us highlight the best answers.
But that was not my point. I don't get why, scorewise, the iPad mini is better. What makes the Nexus 7.2 worst? If we compare hardware on both, the Nexus 7 should have a better score... Better resolution, better CPU, better ppi... I really don't understand the score, just that...
Also the tablet comparison today is much better then when the 1st Nexus 7 and iPad Mini came out.
i would be surprised if the current mini broke 90 if it was reviewed today and if the new Mini (when ever it comes out) does not have a "Retina" display i don't see that happening.
I can see someone like my parents even my neighbor who will walk into a store and hear that the Nexus 7 is the greatest tablet and see that it only cost $230. But when they get home find they can't' use it with the apps they already have and can't watch the movies they have because they are in iTunes not Android. They will take the tablet back and end up buying the more expensive iPad Mini.
People have different taste, different needs and expectations on devices so I think reviewers that are not focused to a specific audience will recommend more than one device. I wouldn't expect a site dedicated to android or apple to recommend the other platform. Also people do become biased to one brand/platform. There are Apple and Android fan-boys out there.

I'm no fanboy. I don't like one more than another. I use a cheap Android phone because it was a gift and I hate it, but it works and that's all that matters.
i have shown them other devices and ecosystems before. I like playing with new and shiny things so i have tried and used iOS, Android and Windows phone devices.
the minute my father found out he couldn't watch his westerns on it or that he could but he would have to buy them all over again that would be a killer for him. heaven forbid he had to buy something again. My mother uses iBooks and she couldn't read her "novels" on the new device.
I can already hear her calling and asking for help because she can't find the "book" icon.
In an ideal world where we didn't have DRM i think the Nexus 7 would be a no brainer but in today's world where DRM is everything but music on these ecosystems its hard to switch.
But just to get to the point, if the Nexus 7 is the best 7" Android tablet - because it is - and putting aside the SO and the number of apps - google is getting there and then its microsoft's turn to get there - shouldn't it be scored at least on par with the iPad Mini? It's not a big difference but...
I think we need to wait and see how the 2nd Generation iPad mini is scored in comparison to the 2nd Generation Nexus 7.
If DRM was not an issue and any item purchased in any store could be played on any device the nexus 7 would be crowned top dog. But unfortunately that's not the world we live in.
- Galaxy Note 8
- Galaxy Tab 3 7
- Galaxy Tab 3 7.7
- Galaxy Tab 3 8
- Lenovo Idea Pad
- Acer Iconia Tab
- Kindle Fire 7
- iPad Mini
Samsung is going berserk...
That's how I would explain the GDGT score. It's merely unfortunate that right now someone who didn't know better would see the two tablets on here and assume the Mini was better right now because the number is bigger.
I do agree that if an article claims the Mini is currently ahead of the 7, that's very questionable. I don't think there are any good arguments for that, and ecosystem momentum isn't a good argument for why one device is objectively better than the other. The thing is, I haven't really seen anyone claiming that the Mini is better right now. Where are you seeing that? And I don't count Gruber.

The Grades Are In. I Passed!
Long time (and suffering) readers of mine may recall that I enrolled in a Poetry Workshop class a year or so ago. I was all excited at the time and promised many updates. This I did not do. It had more to do with the fact that I wasn't sure how to convey the class without breaking confidences or making people uncomfortable. So, I didn't.
I also didn't complete my coursework on time. Depression reared its ugly and merciless head and I was hard-pressed to revise poems I'd struggled to write for the workshop. Truth is, I've been hard-pressed to write much of anything this past year. Well, anything I want to let other people read. Lots of bad or pointless crap fills my notebook.
So, I had a deadline to get the Incomplete taken care of and I did. I turned in my poetry portfolio last week and found out that I'd gotten an A- for the term. What's more, I'd earned an A-/B+ on my Poetry Review, which is a high class book report of sorts.
One of my goals in taking the course was to be a better reader of poetry, to better understand what works, what doesn't and how to appreciate poetry beyond visceral reactions. If I loved a poem, I wanted to know 'why' I loved that poem, and if one put me off, why did it. How to appreciate poems I don't immediately swoon over, and how to take apart a poem and see how it ticks. This review was a huge part of it. I was pleased with it at the time, and am gratified that the work I put into it resulted in a grade commiserate with my feelings for it. You can read it by clicking here. (opens a PDF file)
The book I chose is called "Blue Front" by Martha Collins. Terrific book, wonderful book, incredible book. Yet, that hardly explains why I loved it. The review does and shows you some of that as well.
I may post my portfolio at some point in the near future. Then again, I may not. I would like to thank the teacher and my classmates for their interest and honesty in their feedback in my work. Their thoughts, insights and unwillingness to allow me to 'settle' were and are of immeasurable value.

Wow. I gobbled your review all up. I loved both it and the book you talked about. I'm not surprised you passed. And I should mention bad & pointless crap fills all our notebooks – it certainly fills mine. But the thing is, it often comes back around – whatever made me write it in the first place suddenly shows up again and I remember why & who & what & suddenly it's not so bad anymore. Even if I only use one line, or if I rewrite one line. Never throw that stuff away.
I have thrown away lots of notebooks over the years and now really regret it. Angsty and maudlin as it was, it had nuggets of truth and sweat.
That book is terrific. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thanks so much for reading.
Congratulations, Mark!!!
I know how hard you worked on this and what you worked your way through. You're one of my inspirations on so many levels. ~ jh
Thanks, Joe. Your comment floors me. I have never aspired to being an inspiration…that's both humbling and very cool.
Yay Mark! That is wonderfully exciting. Congratulations! It appears that we finished the semester together and I love celebrating the synchronicity of that. Looking forward to more poetry, in life, in words, outside of classes…
I'm not sure how I missed this, but congratulations! I know how hard it can be to "write on command" for a class. Well done, my friend!

A local hospital is being recognized for its long standing partnership with Jefferson Elementary School.
In March, during the Partners in Education Annual Luncheon, the partnership between Camden Clark Medical Center and the school was noted as the longest surviving original business-school partnership in Wood County.
For it's 25th anniversary, the students at Jefferson sent dozens of thank you cards to the hospital's staff.
"Jefferson just welcomed Wharton Cadillac to our family also and Camden Clark was gracious to open their arms to Wharton. So, now we have a partnership with them also. Our Jefferson family is growing and that's very exciting," says Christie Willis, Principal of Jefferson Elementary School.
Principal Willis says CCMC sponsors the school's "Caught Being Good" program which rewards students for following behavior policies.
The winning students enter into a drawing and can win a T-shirt every Friday, which Willis says gets the students excited as well.

US drone strikes claim lives in Southern Yemen
Many Yemenis have condemned the latest US drone assassination attacks which have claimed the lives of atleast people 15 people in the southern part of the country. Yemenis say that the US drone assassination strikes are a violation of the first Amendment of the Yemeni constitution.An escalation of US drone assassination strikes in the southern part of Yemen has claimed the lives of at least 15 people in recent days. The latest US air aggression has raised fury amongst many Yemenis throughout the country who believe that the nation's independence and sovereignty has been violated, under the so called war on terror. In addition to violating the first amendment of the Yemeni constitution, many Yemenis say that US air attacks also violate one of the main goals of the revolution, which is to build an independent Yemen free of all types of foreign intervention. Under the so called war on terror, US has been able to operate in different parts of the country under the pretext of smoking out terrorist hideouts, however many Yemenis say the attacks have mainly killed innocent people. Arif al-Kasadi who is from the south of the country where most air attacks take place, says that wherever US Drone attacks take place, chaos and instability unfold. On the 25th of February, 2012 Abdur Rebo Mansour Hadi took the oath of office promising to uphold the Yemeni constitution and to preserve the sovereignty of the nation. However because of the continuous foreign intervention in the political affairs of the country, many feel that the promise of an independent Yemen is yet to be seen. Many Yemenis believe that in order to truly win the hearts of the people, the new Yemeni government must first uphold the first article of the Yemeni constitution, which states that Yemen is a free independent nation, by bringing an end to continuous foreign intervention.

Or shall I say: What the funky front derailleur!
Actually I just want to make a post to tell all that my "fancy" bike the one with Dura Ace triple 7703 9x3 speed is giving me fits in the front derailleur department. Last week the derailleur was too low and was grinding on the big ring while in the middle ring. I raised it up but didn't tighten the bolt enough so it slipped down again. I know, all USER ERRORS in the set up department.
So now I've raised to what seems the correct height but angled it ever so slightly to where the back of the cage is minutely out of parallel with the chainring. And my big chainring stop wasn't set so I threw my chain 2 days ago, causing some fine scratching on my 6603 Ultegra triple crank.
So then I set the limit screw while the bike was in the repair stand and everything was looking good, so last evening I did another training ride only to learn that I overdid the limit screw and the derailleur cage is grinding in my top gear.
I've also been playing around with the indexing screw on the head tube that centers the front derailleur differently which then makes varying amounts of trim necessary. I keep thinking I'll happen onto the "perfect" dialed in front derailleur set up.
Well, its back to let out the stop a little and go back to the drawing board! Just had to share.

June 2015—This article will help state and local government leaders understand some of the most critical actions they must take to set themselves up for the daunting task of recovering from a major disaster in the U.S.A.
June 2015—Meeting more stringent regulations requires banks globally to spend billions of dollars. Yet with the right long-term strategy, they could realize even bigger annual savings.more
May 2015—Given increasing requirements and a scarce talent base, risk-management functions in corporates and financial institutions face more and more challenges to recruit, develop and retain the right people. Based on a survey and intense discussions with industry experts we lay out 5 strategic initiatives how risk functions can improve on people and performance management.
March 2015—With an increasing need for banks to manage their risk culture, we explore how risk culture should be defined, what's required to transform risk culture, and how organizations can monitor progress on evolving risk culture towards a desired target state.
March 2015—This paper draws together the perspective of McKinsey experts on organizational health, risk culture, and digital transformation with the experience of five successful CEOs and chairmen to illustrate the changes reshaping banks.
February 2015—Introducing systematic risk-management tools, particularly in the supplier-selection process, could help mitigate problems associated with the industry.more
November 2014—While advanced methods for managing and mitigating risks are applied in e.g. the power and financial-services industries, many others still lag behind. In the transportation industry, project volumes can be significantly larger than EUR 1 bn and span across decades. Recent examples show severe failures across the full life cycle, exhibiting large risks caused by complexity of projects. When looking at credit ratings among rail OEMs, large compensation payments could lead to severe shocks in financial health, threatening a company's solvency. Despite this, counterparty risk is generally not part of the supplier evaluation in the rail industry. We therefore propose for rail customers to include minimum rating requirements of guarantors in their contract structures.

This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 331,250, filed Dec. 16, 1981, "FUEL DISPENSING AND VEHICLE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM" U.S. Pat. No. 4,490,798.
This invention relates in general to security systems for dispensing fuel to a motor vehicle, and in particular to a system that provides security for dispensing fuel as well as controlling maintenance of the vehicle.
Operators of a fleet of vehicles often use their own fuel dispensing sites and maintenance personnel. For example, a typical city with a population of several hundred thousand may have a large number of vehicles used by police, fire department, street and parks department, and the like. The city often will have several sites located around the city where individual operators can receive fuel for their vehicles. Usually there are one or more maintenance sites. Routine maintenance such as changing oil and lubricating the vehicle requires an operator to keep check of the current mileage and take the vehicle in for service when needed.
Security and maintenance problems are abundant in the systems. In regard to maintenance, often the operators will not have a car exclusively assigned to them, thus will be too busy and lack the feeling of responsibility necessary to assure that maintenance is performed when it is needed. Consequently, much of the maintenance performed on a vehicle results only when the vehicle needs emergency repair.
In addition to problems in regard to scheduled maintenance, breakdowns often result because of an employee failing to observe temperature and oil pressure gauges and failing to check items such as oil level, coolant level and air pressure. Computers are now available for some vehicles that monitor these conditions and others to control fuel consumption and emissions. However, the computer does not prevent further operation if a condition is out-of-bounds nor does it inform supervisory authority.
Some fleet operators, such as cities, have security systems to avoid theft of fuel. A typical security system utilizes a card that has an identification number punched into it or located on a magnetic strip. The pumps are controlled by a central processing unit located remote from the fuel dispensing site. To receive fuel, the card is inserted into a card reader at the site. This information in communicated to the central processing unit, which determines if the card is a valid card. If valid, the pump will be turned on for dispensing fuel.
There are problems with these types of sytems. It requires that a communication link always be available between the fuel dispensing site and the central processing unit, and sometimes this is not possible. Employee theft can still occur since the cards may be stolen, or the fuel may be dispensed into a vehicle other than a city vehicle. Forged cards may be undetectable in some systems, as well. Also, these security systems have no effect on the need for assuring periodic maintenance of the vehicle.
In this invention, a system is provided that provides better security that prior art systems, and controls maintenance as well. The system requires a portable memory unit, that in the preferred embodiment is in the shape of a plastic key. The key has internal electronic circuits that will store information. This information can be read and updated. External electrical contacts enable the key to be placed into a data processing unit.
Preferably, each vehicle has an on-board computer with a receptable for receiving the key. The on-board computer monitors several vehicle conditions such as oil pressure, coolant temperature, speed, and miles driven. If any of these conditions exceed selected limits considering the engine speed, a warning signal is placed in the key. Current mileage is also placed in the key.
A data processing unit is located at each fuel dispensing site. The data processing unit has an interface means for receiving the key. The data processing unit also has means for controlling the pumps. The remote data processing unit is linked by telephone or other means to a central processing unit at a site different from the remote processing unit.
Each maintenance site also has a remote processing unit. The remote processing units at the maintenance sites are capable of reading information from the key, and updating information. The key will typically have in its memory means an identification number, the mileage at which the vehicle last received fuel, the current mileage, the mileage at which the vehicle should be next serviced, and an indication of any warnings for out-of-range vehicle conditions.
To dispense fuel, the operator places his key in the data processing unit, which then checks to determine whether the identification number is valid. The fuel dispensing data processing unit reads the current mileage. If the current mileage exceeds the next service mileage required, then the operator will be notified and a notification will be written into the memory of the key. The system may include a provision whereby fuel will not be dispensed if the number of notifications exceeds a selected maximum. If the remote processing unit reads that a warning has been given of an improper vehicle condition, the system may include a provision wherein fuel will not be dispensed.
The remote processing unit monitors the fuel dispensed, and conveys this information to the central processing unit, along with the last and current mileages. The central processing unit will then be able to compute a miles per gallon. The system may have a feature for placing keys on a bad key list if the vehicle's mileage is out of selected ranges. At the maintenance site, once the next service required is performed, the mechanic enters into the key memory means the next srevice mileage or date. The mechanic can also delete warning indications once the problem has been corrected.

Referring to FIG. 2, the system includes for each motor vehicle a key 11. Key 11 is a commercially available device that has the general configuration of a key for conventional locks. Key 11 has a solid-state memory unit that is capable of storing more than 300 characters of information. Key 11 is constructed of plastic and has a shaft 13 containing a plurality of protruberances 15 on each edge. A metal electrical contact 17 is located between certain or all of the protruberances for making electrical contact with the internal memory. Information stored in key 11 can be retrieved, updated, or new information can be entered into the storage. Key 11 is to be used with a single vehicle, and will contain selected information concerning the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, key 11 is manufactured by Datakey, Inc. of Minneapolis, Minn.
Referring to FIG. 1, other features of the system include one or more conventional pumps, designated pumps A and B, and indicated herein as numerals 19 and 21, located at the remote fuel dispensing site 23. Each fuel pump 19 and 21 is connected to common or separate fuel reservoirs 25 and 27. Pumps 19 and 21 are controlled by an interface unit 29 that is conventional and contains means for turning on and off the pumps, and means for monitoring the amount of fuel being dispensed as the fuel is being dispensed. Pump interface 29 is controlled by a remote processing unit 31 that is a conventional small computer capable of being programmed for making comparisons and making certain decisions. A keyboard 33 is connected to the remote processing unit 31 for entering information. A key receptacle 35 having contacts for connections with contacts 17 of key 11 (FIG. 2), is also connected to the remote processing unit 31. A display 37 is connected with the remote processing unit 31.
A central records site 39 is also included with the system. There will be only one central records site 39, while often there will be several remote dispensing sites 23. The central records site will be remote from the remote dispensing site 23, often several miles. A central processing unit 41 comprises a conventional computer for storing and manipulating data. Central processing unit 41 is connected by a communication link 43 to each remote processing unit 31. Communication link 43 may be telephone lines or it may be a special purpose line. Central processing unit 41 has a printer 45 for printing information stored within.
One or more remote maintenance sites 47 are included in the system. Remote maintenance sites 47 have service facilities for repairing and servicing vehicles. Maintenance sites 47 may be located at the same place as one of the dispensing sites 23, or at a different place. Each remote maintenance site 47 has a remote processing unit 49 connected by a communication link 51 to the central processing unit. Communication link 51 may be a telephone line or a special purpose line. The remote processing unit 49 is a computer having capabilities to read and to enter information in key 11 through a key receptacle 53 connected to it. A keyboard 55 is connected to remote processing unit 49. A display 57 is connected to the remote processing unit 49.
The vehicle has an on-board processing means shown in FIG. 5 for sensing vehicle conditions and providing a warning if the condition exceeds selected bounds. The processing means includes an on-board computer 58 of a conventional type. Certain vehicles now being sold have computers of this nature, which have means to sense certain conditions and make adjustments in the carburetor with transducers 56 to improve fuel economy. Computer 58 also has sensors that preferably monitor the following: oil pressure 59, coolant temperature 60, vehicle speed and miles traveled 61, engine speed 62, exhaust gas conditions 63, fuel flow 64, atmospheric pressure and temperature 65, and time 66. Information from these sensors is processed by computer 58. Transducers 56 are actuated by the computer 58 to change the carburetor settings for better fuel economy.
The on-board computer 58 also provides a warning to a display 67 if selected limits of the conditions sensed are exceeded. For example, if coolant temperature is too high, a warning is displayed. If oil pressure in relation to engine speed and temperature is too low or high, a warning is displayed.
A key receptacle 68 identical to key receptacles 35 and 53 of FIG. 1 is connected to computer 58. Key receptacle 68 receives key 11, and preferably the vehicle is inoperable without key 11 being inserted in receptacle 68. Computer 58 writes into the memory of key 11 and warnings given and the type of warning. Preferably the warning indication remains in key 11 even if the adverse condition disappears, unless the warning indication is later removed at maintenance site 47. Computer 58 also writes current mileage into the memory of key 11. Other information can be written into key 11 by computer 58, if desired, such as top vehicle speed and maximum fuel flow.
The operation of the remote processing units 31 and 49, the central processing unit 41, and on-board computer 58 can best be explained by referring to FIGS. 3a and 3b. An operator of a vehicle needing fuel proceeds to a remote dispensing site 32, removes key 11 from the on-board computer receptacle 68 (FIG. 5) then inserts key 11 into key receptacle 35. (FIG. 1). This step is indicated by the numeral 69 in FIG. 3a. Once inserted, the electrical contacts 17 (FIG. 2), of key 11 will be connected to the remote processing unit 31. As indicated by block 70 of FIG. 3a, the remote processing unit 31 will read the information contained in the memory means of key 11. This information preferably includes, but is not limited to the following:
(1) An identification number for the key and vehicle;
(2) The mileage of the vehicle when fuel was
last dispensed;
(3) The current mileage;
(4) The mileage at which service A is required.
(5) The mileage at which service B is required;
(6) The date at which service C is required;
(7) Any warnings given by computer 58;
(8) The fuel tank capacity; and
(9) Type of fuel used.
Service A mileage will likely be the next mileage at which a frequent service is needed, such as lubricating the vehicle. Service B mileage is likely a service that occurs less frequently, such as packing the front wheel bearings of the vehicle. Service C date will be a date at which service such as lubrication is necessary, even if the mileage for this service hasn't been reached. The warning would likely be an indication that the coolant temperature had been excessive or oil pressure inadequate.
As indicated by block 71, the program of the remote processing unit 31 causes it to compare the key identification number with a list of identification numbers to determine whether or not the key is valid. The list is preferably stored in the remote processing unit 31. Also, the list may be of bad or invalid keys, or the list may be of valid keys. Assuming that the list is a list of bad key numbers, then it will check to determine whether or not the key of the operator is on that list. If so, the remote processing unit 31 is programmed to display "Bad Key" as indicated by block 72, then erase all of the information on the key as indicated by numeral 73, then notify the central processing unit 41 of having taken this step.
The remote processing unit 31 will also read the current mileage from key 11. If the vehicle does not have an on-board computer 58, the driver will enter current mileage with the keyboard 33 (FIG. 1). A comparison then is made, as indicated by clock 74, of the current mileage with respect to the last mileage that the vehicle received fuel. If the current mileage does not exceed the last mileage, then there is a malfunction in the system or the driver is fraudulently attempting to obtain fuel. In any case the central processing unit 41 is notified of this abnormality, and the key is erased as indicated with the remote processing unit 31. Display 37 will indicate the refusal to provide fuel.
Assuming that the current mileage is greater than the last mileage, the remote processing unit 31 will then enter or write the new mileage at which fuel is dispensed in the memory means of key 11, as indicated by block 75. The old mileage will be deleted. The remote processing unit 31 then determines if a warning had been entered by on-board computer 58 into key 11, as indicated by block 76. If so, the remote processing unit 31 will display the service needed, as shown by block 77. The central processing unit is notified, also. The remote processing unit 31 may refuse fuel if this step is desired in the system. If so, the operator must proceed to a remote maintenance site immediately to have the problem corrected and the warning indication deleted from key 11.
Remote processing unit 31 then compares the current mileage with the service mileages A or B, as indicated by block 78. If the current mileage exceeds one of the mileages of service A or B that has been stored in the memory means of key 11, then remote processing unit 31 causes its display 37 to display "Vehicle Needs Service" as indicated by block 79. At the same time, the remote processing unit 31 will write or enter into the memory means of key 11 that the operator has been notified of a sevice requirement, indicated by block 80. The central processing unit 41 will receive information that a notice has been given to the operator. If desired in the system, as indicated by block 81, the remote processing unit 37 may then compare the number of notifications in key 11 with a maximum number, such as three. If the number of notices is three or more, the remote processing unit 31 may cause display 37 to display that fuel will be unavailable until service is performed, as indicated by block 82. The central processing unit 41 will be informed of this step.
If the number of notices is less than the maximum, or if the current mileage is less than the next service mileage, then the next step performed, as indicated by block 83, is a comparison of the current date with the service C date. If so, remote processing unit 31 will cause its display 37 to display that service is needed, as indicated by block 84. Remote processing unit 31 will also write a notice into the memory of key 11, as indicated by block 85, and inform central processing unit 41. The remote processing unit 31 may also compare the total number of notices with a maximum selected, indicated by block 96. If greater than maximum, the operator will be notified by display 37 that fuel is unavailable until service is performed, as shown by block 97. This step will be transmitted to the central processing unit 41.
Assuming that the number of notices for services A, B and C do not exceed the maximum, or the service dates and mileages are not due, the remote processing until 31 will then request the operator to enter the selected pump 19 or 21 (FIG. 1) as indicated by block 88. Block 89 indicates that the remote processing unit 31 then determines if the pump selected is the one with the correct fuel, the type of fuel being provided by key 11. If wrong, block 90 indicates that the driver is requested to select a pump again.
Block 91 indicates that the remote processing unit 31 will determine whether or not the pump selected is busy at the moment. If so, display 37 will display that the pump is busy according to block 90, and the operator will be requested to enter his selected pump at a later time. If the pump selected is not busy, remote processing unit 31 causes the display 37 to display to the operator to remove the key, indicated by block 101 of FIG. 3b. The operator removes key 11 according to block 103, inserts it in the on-board computer receptacle 68, and proceeds to one of the pumps 19 or 21, which is turned on at that time by pump interface 29, according to block 105.
As the driver fills his tank, pump interface 29 will monitor the gallons being dispensed, according to block 107 and continuously provide this information to the remote processing unit 31. If the operator stops pumping fuel, as indicated by block 109, the remote processing unit 31 turns the pump off according to block 111. If the operator has not finished, and the gallons being dispensed exceed the maximum tank capacity read from the memory of key 11 previously, remote processing unit 31 will turn the pump off once it begins to exceed maximum tank capacity, as indicated by block 113. This indicates that there is an error in the system, or the driver is using a vehicle that has a larger tank than the actual vehicle assigned to the key.
Once the pump is turned off, the remote processing unit 31 and pump interface 29 are recycled to start, according to block 115. Also, the turning off of the pump causes the remote processing unit 31 to transmit to the central processing unit 43 the total gallons dispensed. The central processing unit, which also receives the last mileage and current mileage, then according to block 117 computes the miles per gallon that the vehicle achieved during the last tank of fuel. Then, if desired, the central processing unit can made a comparison with a minimum figure of miles per gallon, indicated by block 119. If the figure is too low, this may indicate that fuel is being dispensed in an unauthorized vehicle, causing the central processing unit to place the identification number of that particular key 11 and vehicle on the bad key list. The bad key list is subsequently transmitted back to the remote processing unit 31 to erase all information from the key the next time the driver seeks to obtain additional fuel. This is indicated by block 121.
The various information forwarded to the central processing unit 41 can be forwarded at different intervals, or can remain stored in the remote processing unit 31 and forwarded at one time or even at a later time during the day. If the bad key list is stored in the remote processing unit 31, it does not need any signals from the central processing unit 41 to enable it to dispense fuel. Consequently, if communication link 43 is interrupted, fuel can still be dispensed until the repair is made.
In the normal course, once a driver is notified that a service A, B, or C is needed, he will proceed to the remote maintenance site 47 before returning to the remote dispensing site 23 for a new tank of fuel. Normally, the driver will leave the vehicle at the remote maintenance site 47. The key 11 will stay with the vehicle, where the mechanic will then insert the key into the key receptacle 53 (FIG. 2) as indicated by block 123 of FIG. 4. Block 125 indicates that the remote processing unit 49 (FIG. 2) will then read the selected information contained in the memory means of key 11. It will display to the mechanic on display 57 the services A, B, and C that are next required, as shown in block 127 of FIG. 4. The mechanic, by viewing the actual mileage on the vehicle, will determine which of the services are needed. The mechanic can also determine by the display what type of warning, if any, had been entered by on-board computer 58.
Block 129 indicates that he performed the services and entered this indication into remote processing unit 49. Remote processing unit 49 notifies the central processing unit 41 of the service performed. If desired, the hours that the mechanic spent or other labor cost information can be supplied to the central processing unit 41 at this time. The mechanic, by again using keyboard 55, then updates the next service A, B, or C needed for the vehicle, replacing the old information in the memory of key 11 with this new information, this step being indicated by block 131. The mechanic also deletes the warning indication, if any.
If desired, the central processing unit can also have facilities for storing information concerning the parts used, the costs, and inventory. If so, block 133 indicates that the mechanic will enter coded information through keyboard 55 into the remote processing unit 49, for subsequent transmittal to central processing unit 41. Block 135 indicates that the mechanic removes the key after completing the desired service. The next time the vehicle will receive fuel, the new information concerning service will be retrieved by the remote processing unit 31.
An invention having significant advantages has been provided. Use of a portable memory unit, such as the key described, which will not only provide information but can be updated in the field, provides greater security than the prior art systems and also provides means for controlling maintenance of the vehicle. The remote processing unit located at the remote dispensing site speeds up dispensing of fuel since it will not be necessary to check validity and receive other information from the central processing unit before dispensing fuel. The remote processing unit also avoids having to cease dispensing fuel in case of a breakdown in the communication link to the central processing unit.
Maintaining records of the transactions in the central processing unit provides a security check for users that are using an excessive amount of fuel or failing to have their vehicles maintained. The remote processing unit at the maintenance site enables a mechanic to update the information in the portable memory unit, and also provides a means for obtaining better cost information about the operation of particular vehicles, and the need for maintaining particular parts and inventory. The linking of a key with memory between an on-board computer and the remote processing unit prevents an operator from driving a vehicle that has conditions indicating immediate maintenance is needed.
While the invention has been shown in only one of its forms, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible to various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit of the invention.

LAS CRUCES >> Crispin Fierro, 32, of Deming, pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon in Las Cruces federal court to a marijuana trafficking charge under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Fierro initially was charged based on a criminal complaint alleging that he possessed 456 kilograms (1004.5 pounds) of marijuana with intent to distribute in Luna County on March 4, 2013, according to a news release. Fierro subsequently was indicted on that same charge.
In his plea agreement, Fierro acknowledged that he was the driver and sole occupant of a flatbed truck in which he was transporting the marijuana. Fierro further admitted that the marijuana was found by U.S. Border Patrol agents when they pulled him over on New Mexico State Highway 9 in Luna County.
Fierro has been in federal custody since his arrest and remains detained pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled. At sentencing, Fierro faces a federal prison sentence of not less than five years and not more than 40 years.

Remember Me
Additionally, Red Baraat's Sunny Jain has accepted an invitation to bring his thunderous dhol drumming to the
National Jazz Museum in Harlem April 30 to perform with museum director Jonathan Batiste – part of a program
illuminating the global roots of Jazz. Jain will also appear at Los Angeles' Skirball Cultural Center May 16 and will be
joined by Common Chords, a gathering of musicians from different cultures and religions, led by famed Pakistani
singer/guitarist Salman Ahmad (Junoon) and world-renowned klezmer violinist Yale Strom. The group combines rock,
klezmer, jazz, bhangra, Indian, Sufi, and qawwali into a new and distinct and exciting hybrid.
Since the January release of their album Shruggy Ji, Brooklyn's Red Baraat have seen a meteoric rise, snagging a #1
debut on Billboard's World Music chart, sell out shows at NY's Bowery Ballroom and Boston's Sinclair, and features in
the Wall Street Journal, New York Daily News and NPR's Weekend Edition. Their debut performance for NPR's World
Café will air this spring and the band will announce additional summer and fall festival dates and headlining shows

"It is the duty of deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within and beyond the community of faith."? (Book of Order G-6.0401)
Our deacons visit the sick, the grieving, the lonely sharing a smile and God's comfort.? Deacons normally meet the third Sunday of the month after the 10:30 worship service.
