This application is a continuation application of the U.S. Ser. No. 646,445 filed by Abrahams and Carll on Aug. 31, 1984 and entitled "Lab Bottle Capper" now abandoned.
This invention relates to apparatus for controllably gripping and rotating apparatus. The invention particularly relates to the controlled closure and opening of screw-cap containers.
A considerable amount of work has been done on equipment for the automatic or remote opening of bottles. A great deal of this art is collected in the United States Patent Office under Art Class 81, subclasses 3.31, 3.32 and 3.33. In general, this art has tended to relate to automatic machinery wherein bottles of the same geometry are manipulated many times. A great deal of work has also been done in developing jar-gripping devices (See for Example, See U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,569,239 and 2,732,740) and other specific apparatus useful in bottle-opening operations.
Despite the earlier work and as will be described in more detail below, the present inventor wished to provide bottle opening apparatus that would be sufficiently versatile and dependable to be generally useful in robotic applications, for example in applications wherein a robot with other duties to perform would also, from time to time, be used in conjunction with the rotary tool of the invention to hold a bottle to be capped, a screw to be inserted into or workpiece, or some other object to be rotated in relation to an object held by the rotary tool.
It is a principal object of the invention to provide an improved tool for us in controlled relative rotation of articles.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved bottle capper configured to provide information to associated equipment as in robotic applications.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved rotating tool for use in screwing and unscrewing one object from another wherein it is desirable to measure the torque, of tightness with which the objects are joined, and/or to measure the number of rotations used in screwing or unscrewing operations.
Other objects of the invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art on reading the subject invention.
The above objects have been substantially achieved by providing apparatus for grasping and holding an object, e.g. a bottle of the type which accepts a screw cap wherein the apparatus has a rotatable gripper assembly. A gripper-operating motor is itself mounted to be rotated, with the gripper assembly, by a second motor which rotates the gripper assembly. A counter assembly, e.g. a photodetector is adapted to serve as a means to count the rotations of either motor and thereby provide a readily-usable control signal for determining the position of the grippers and the number of turns imparted to the gripper assembly during screwing and unscrewing operations. The use of two distinct motors facilitates, also, the use of the amperage from each motor as a distinct signal indicative of the amount of pressure exerted on a bottle during capping, uncapping or gripping and whether or not a stop has been encountered.
Of course, a strain gauge can be used to communicate directly to the motor. Such a gauge could be placed on the gripper means.
In some applications of the invention, it has been found to be desirable to have the apparatus resiliently mounted to accomodate relative motion between a part, e.g. a bottle, being held in the apparatus, and a part, e.g. a screwcap, being placed thereon removed therefrom. Any such resilient mount will do and one, a high-density, open-cell, resilient polyurethane foam pad 90 of about 0.0375-inch in thickness serves as such a mean in the apparatus of FIG. 2.
In this application and accompanying drawings there is shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention and suggested various alternatives and modifications thereof, but it is to be understood that these are not intended to be exhaustive and that other changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. These suggestions herein are selected and included for the purposes of illustration in order that others skilled in the art will more fully understand the invention and the principles thereof and will be able to modify it and embody it in a variety of forms, each as may be best suited to the condition of a particular case.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a rotational tool of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a somewhat schematic view in section of apparatus of the invention showing the interior mechanism thereof.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary plan view, along section line 3:3 of FIG. 2, showing the rotatable gripper assembly.
FIG. 4 is a section taken along line 4:4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a plan view, in section, of the apparatus taken along line 5:5 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 shows disk counter component useful in the invention.
FIG. 6A shows a preferred, low-inertial counter which provides a means to interrupt light to the detector and allows longer and more dependable service of the gears in the system.
FIG. 7 is a plan view of a the ring gear.
FIG. 8 is an elevation of the ring gear of FIG. 7.
FIG. 9 illustrates a favorable one circuit for useful in the invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a bottle capper 10 constructed according to the invention. The capper comprises two cooperating gripping clamps 12 and 14, each mounted to reciprocate for closing movement towards each other, and opening movement away from each other, on racks 16 and 18, respectively. (Best seen in FIG. 3). Each of racks 16 and 18 are moved to-and-fro within rack housing 17 by a pinion gear 19. Rack housing 17 is configured to accomodate pinion 19 and to provide guide slots 24 and 26 for the racks.
Pinion 19 and, through it, racks 16 and 18 are operated by a centrally-mounted motor 30 which is shown to have an eccentrically-mounted operating shaft 32 and which is mounted beneath the gripping clamps in housing 34. Motor 30 is also attached to turntable 49 of the rotatable-clamp assembly 60 (as by fastener 61).
A second motor 40 serves as a means to rotate the entire assembly 60 on which the clamps, racks, and pinion and keeper brackets are mounted. Motor 30 is also rotated with clamp assembly 60 on central bearing 56.
Motor 40 turns a gear 44 which forms means to turn a ring gear 46. Ring gear 46 is attached by fasteners 47 and bearing boss 48, mounted within bearing 56, so that it turns main turntable 49 of assembly 60. When turntable 49 is rotated, it causes the clamp actuating assembly comprising gripper clamps 12 and 14 and racks 16 and 18 and rack housing 17 and motor 30, to rotate also. It will be understood that if a bottle is held snugly within said clamps as they rotate, it will be "opened" or "closed" with respect to any screw-type bottle cap held in appropriate non-rotating position at the top of the bottle.
Transition ring 48 and ring gear comprise substantial openings, as indicated at 52, to accomodate the motor 30, i.e. the motor which senses the purpose of tightening and loosening the clamps via the above-described rack-and-pinion operating means.
Transition ring 48 also forms a shelf 54, on the outer periphery thereof which shelf provides support means for bearing 56 which facilitates the rotation of the clamp actuating assembly. Bearing 56 is also supported by a stationary bearing support ring 58 mounted by fasteners 59 to housing 34.
The apparatus is supported within housing 34 on support legs 80 which are, in turn supported on a support plate 82 fastened to base plate 84 and bearing boss 58. It is very advantageous for the assembly to be supported on a resilient, vibration absorbing mounting such as is provided by rubber support boots 86 which are attached with fasteners to plate 82 and base plate 84.
As the gripper assembly is opened and closed by motor 30, that motor also operates a counter means, counter assembly 65, comprising a disc reader 66 having two elongate slots 67 therein forming means, with a light source 68 and photodetector 70 to count the number of revolutions of the motor and thereby provide an electrical signal which can be used to establish how far the grippers have been opened or closed. The detector and light source are mounted within a photocell housing 72 through which the slotted portions of disks 66 can rotate. Resiliently mounted on housing 72 is a carbon brush 74 which is adapted to supply power to motor 30 through commutator ring 76 as it rotates.
Not only does the counter assembly 65 monitor the gripping action of the apparatus but it also provides means to count the number of times an object, e.g. a bottle, is turned, e.g. in relation to the bottle cap. It is convenient to program or pre-teach the apparatus the number of rotations of the disk which is to constitute reaching the "fully unscrewed" state of a particular bottle cap designation. Similary, of course, the completion of capping may be sensed by a rise in torque exerted on the bottle.
Referring to FIG. 9, the mechanism is controlled by a microcomputer which includes a microprocessor 86, crystal 87, timing generator 89, analog switch and filtering 90, and motor drives 91 and 96. The microprocessor 86 commands the timing generator 89 to produce a pluse sequence which drives an analog switch and filter 90 to produce a DC signal. This DC signal is amplified by drivers 91 and 96 which are capable of driving motors 30 and 40 in either direction.
The number of rotations due to either motor is feedback to the microprocessor 86. The motors are mechanically linked to an LED/photosensor/slotted wheel 66. As the slot traverses the LED (light emitting diode) to photosensor path, an electrical pulse is generated and input to the microprocessor interrupt line. The interrupt is used for efficiency--the microprocessor need not constantly monitor the rotation sensor 66.
Torque is measured as a voltage drop across resistors 94 and 95. This signal is buffered by amplifiers 92 and 93 and digitized 88 and input to the microprocessor on an input port.
Since the torque and rotation are feedback to the microprocessor, it can control the motors in response to these signals individually (torque or rotation) or in combination (torque and rotation) to slow down, speed up, stop or reverse the motion.
External information is interchanged with the microprocessor by the serial to parallel, input information, and parallel to serial, output information converter 84. Requisite timing is provided by 85. Input information may include: when to begin or stop, limits on torque and rotation; while output information may include: the status of the mechanism, when capping or uncapping is complete, and when any unexpected anomalies occur.
It will be seen that the apparatus described above lends itself to a number of control modes. For example, taking the common situation of screwing and unscrewing a bottle cap of the starting and stopping of the motor functions are readily adapted to be controlled as follows:
When motor 30, the pinion-operating motor, is commanded to clamp a bottle, it may be controlled to proceed from a known or unknown position through a predetermined number of counted turns or until a rise in the torque is sensed in motor 30, e.g. by a rise in amperage to the motor. The degree torque itself may be selected or preprogrammed for a given operation.
When motor 30 is commanded to unclamp a bottle, it may be controlled to proceed through a certain preselected number of turns for a given operation or, e.g. in a situation wherein the object is highly resilient (say a plastic bottle), it may be controlled to start to count rotations from a preselected torque value indicative of a certain pre-loosening action. Likewise, when the gripper assembly has a bottle firmly in hand, motor 40 is adapted to several modes of control of the screwing or unscrewing action. Thus when motor 40 is to be turned in order to turn a bottle to remove a screw cap, it may be controlled turn for a pre-selected counting of turns, or for a number of such turns after a drop in torque is sensed on the motor. When motor 40 is turned to screw a cap on the bottle, the action may be controlled by count or, as is convenient, by sensing the appropriate torque (e.g. at amperage) on the motor.
When torque control is used it is desirable to provide circuit means to neglect any transient increase in motor amperage due only to the starting of the motor.
Another feature of the apparatus relates to the use of stop pins 78 that serve to limit the travel of the racks. These stops serve, when encountered by the racks, as means to cause the amperage drawn by motor 30 to increase rapidly and this increase can, of course, also be used to shut the motor off immediately.
Although some emphasis has been given to bottle/bottle cap manipulator. It is to be understood that the apparatus of the invention could be used with any number of systems calling for both gripping and winding operations. Among such would be attaching pipes with thread-type connections, winding filaments or tapes on bobbins or reels held by the apparatus. Also the apparatus could be used in testing of materials, i.e. gripping a polymeric member with a controlled gripping action and then measuring its physical response to an externally-applied twisting action.
It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention which might be said to fall therebetween.

Three local attorneys are vying for the seat of a judge who is retiring after four decades on the bench.
Brian Alsip, Michael Auger and Kim Van Valer all are Republican candidates in the race for Franklin City Court judge.
The winner of the general election in November will replace Judge Robert Schafstall, who does not plan to pursue an 11th term in office. Schafstall is the longest-serving elected official in Johnson County.
The three candidates seeking to replace him all have worked as attorneys in local courts.
Two candidates touted their experience as judges for why they should be elected.
Franklin city judge
Term: Four years
Salary: $34,000
Duties: Hear infractions, misdemeanors and preliminary felonies, issue search warrants and arrest warrants
Requirements: Must be an attorney who lives in Franklin, can't practice criminal law in an area that would come under the Franklin court's jurisdiction
Brian Alsip
Age: 32
Occupation: Corporate attorney
Political experience: None
Family: Wife, Erica; son, Conner
Education: Bachelor of Arts in political science, history and sociology from Franklin College, law degree from University of Dayton Law School
Michael Auger
Age: 38
Occupation: Attorney
Political experience: None
Family: Four children, Isabel, Maggie, Sam and Annie
Education: Bachelor of Arts in history from Mary Washington College, law degree from Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis
Kim Van Valer
Age: 48
Occupation: Mediator and works as judge for state part-time
Political experience: Appointed in 1994 as Johnson County magistrate judge, served two terms as judge in Johnson Superior Court No. 3
Family: Two children, Ross and Leah
Education: Bachelor of Arts in art history from Indiana University, master's degree in art history from University of Minnesota, law degree from Indiana University
Auger has served as temporary judge in Johnson Circuit, Superior No. 2 and 3 and juvenile courts.
Van Valer served as magistrate judge for two years and as Superior No. 3 judge for two terms and also works part time as a substitute judge for courts across the state.
They all also said their legal experience would make them the best candidates.
Alsip said his experience, along with his passion for the law, would make him a good candidate for the job.
"I want to take my background and put it on the bench and work hard every day to make Franklin a safe place," Alsip said.
Auger has represented clients in city court before, has years of experience in criminal law and knowledge of minor misdemeanor cases and traffic law cases that often are handled in city court, he said.
And, in her years as judge, Van Valer has had experience with a large number of misdemeanor cases, which are a big part of the city court's caseload, she said.
All three candidates said they don't see a need to make major changes to the court, which they believe already runs effectively and efficiently.
But they also said the court, which handles traffic offenses and misdemeanor cases, faces challenges from a high caseload.
Last year, more than 13,000 cases were handled by the court, which has a part-time judge.
Alsip said if elected, he would not want to make any sweeping changes or any changes to staffing, since the current employees are dedicated and work hard to keep the court running efficiently.
But he said he would need to take a look at the court once he was in office to decide for sure if anything should be changed.
Auger would like to look into having the court take payments, such as for traffic tickets, by credit card and online, instead of the current cash-only policy.
"It might be more efficient if people could pay that way," Auger said.
He also wants to look for other ways of making the court more convenient and efficient for attorneys and residents, he said.
Another issue that will take up the next judge's time is finding a home for the court in the next two years, which was part of the city's land-swap deal with the county, he said.
Van Valer said she doesn't see any major changes that need to be made in the court, but she still plans to evaluate operations and procedures if elected.
And she will consider any ways those procedures should be adjusted as she learns them, she said.
"With a new judge, this will be a huge change for everyone, no matter who is there," she said.
As judge, she would want to make sure the city court has a good relationship with county judges, since they share the same resources — mainly the jail and community corrections program, which both are facing problems with overcrowding.
Van Valer believes she is ready to do that since she previously served on the county's jail management committee and community corrections advisory board, she said.
All three candidates said they would continue their work as attorneys, and for Van Valer as mediator, since the position is part time.
But they would make sure to avoid any conflicts.
Auger said he would continue practicing family law and would not take on any criminal cases, since those are most likely to present conflicts.
Alsip said he doesn't handle criminal cases currently and wouldn't, to avoid any conflicts.
Van Valer would continue her work as a mediator, because she is a neutral party, which likely would cause little to no conflicts. But she also would not take on any criminal cases, she said.
She also has a computer and indexing system that would search for any potential conflicts, which she does now when she serves as a part-time, substitute judge for courts across the state, she said.

The Clark County League of Women Voters will host a town hall meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Fort Vancouver Library, 901 C St., to discuss Proposition 1, which, if approved by voters this fall, would pay to operate light rail in Vancouver, among other things.
Panelists for the forum discussion include Michael Ennis, transportation director for the Washington Policy Center; Vancouver City Councilman Bill Turlay; Mark Maggiora, executive director of Americans Building Community; and C-Tran spokesman Scott Patterson. Ennis recently released a citizens' guide to Proposition 1 that concludes the ballot measure would harm Washington businesses.
Washington Policy Center is a conservative think tank based in Olympia.
Proposition 1 would increase sales tax by 0.1 percent (one penny on a $10 purchase) to pay for maintenance and operation of the light rail line expected to extend from Portland into Vancouver. The measure also would help pay construction costs for bus rapid transit on Vancouver's Fourth Plain corridor.

Outlook 2003 the premier mail client from the company
called 'Microsoft' certainly appears to have a lot of security
features built into it. Cursory examination shows excellent
thought into 'spam' containment, 'security' consideration and
many other little 'things'. So much so the default rendering of
html is in so-called 'restricted zone' which disallows nearly
everything [frames, iframes, objects, scripting etc.]. In
addition 'special' spam measures are taken to disallow graphic
downloads from a remote server in html email which can be used
to verify recipients:

The Key Word is: nearly
Utilising Outlook's own bizarre scheMAH ! which comprises
a 'proper' frame along with an src pointing to our remote
server, we are able to ping the server and confirm our recipient
has viewed our email. We don't require graphics or frames or
iframes to do that:
<v:vml frame style="LEFT: 50px; WIDTH: 300px; POSITION:

1. We now commence our examination of the Microsoft Office 2003
suite, we're a bit late, but it has taken all this time to save
up to buy the thing
2. Quick 72 hour prodding reveals that this 'perceived' premier
device known as Outlook 2003 is in fact riddled with holes
3. Do not receive or open any emails period. Use string and tin
cans if you must communicate

A Franklin man was arrested after police said he crashed his sister's car into a telephone pole, broke into a stranger's home and fell asleep on the couch.
Christopher Ellis Huff, 25, 201 Parkview Court, was arrested on charges of residential entry, leaving the scene of an accident and being a habitual traffic violator.
Police were called to an accident at Province Street and Johnson Avenue about 5:20 a.m. Friday, where a car had crashed into a telephone pole. A neighbor told police he saw the driver run from the vehicle, according to a police report.
Police found the owner of the car, who said she had given Huff the keys and permission to work on the brakes but not to drive her car.
About an hour after the accident, police were called to a home in the 100 block of Highland Avenue, after the homeowner reported someone was in her home. Officers found Huff passed out on the couch. He was bleeding from his eye and forehead and could not explain where he was, what he was doing or how he got the injuries, the report said.
The homeowner told police she didn't know who Huff was and hadn't invited him into her home, the report said.
A test showed Huff's blood-alcohol content was .218 percent, the report said. The legal limit to be considered too intoxicated to drive under state law is .08 percent.
He was arrested and taken to the Johnson County jail, where he was being held on $14,000 bond.

Skip to comments.Obama's Radicalism Is Killing the Dow
Posted on 03/05/2009 9:28:59 PM PST by pissant
t's hard not to see the continued sell-off on Wall Street and the growing fear on Main Street as a product, at least in part, of the realization that our new president's policies are designed to radically re-engineer the market-based U.S. economy, not just mitigate the recession and financial crisis.
The illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents -- John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance -- President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter's higher taxes and Mr. Clinton's draconian defense drawdown.
Mr. Obama's $3.6 trillion budget blueprint, by his own admission, redefines the role of government in our economy and society. The budget more than doubles the national debt held by the public, adding more to the debt than all previous presidents -- from George Washington to George W. Bush -- combined. It reduces defense spending to a level not sustained since the dangerous days before World War II, while increasing nondefense spending (relative to GDP) to the highest level in U.S. history. And it would raise taxes to historically high levels (again, relative to GDP). And all of this before addressing the impending explosion in Social Security and Medicare costs.

Respectfully I dearly hope you're wrong.
0 isn't just after the Dow.
He'd like to kill the Constitution too.
and capitalism
and God's natural laws on which it is based.
Hussein wishes to implement a 3-part takeover of the US economy:
1. Own the FIRE means of production (finance ie banks [Citi], insurance [AIG] & real estate [Fannie/Freddie])
2. Regulate/dispense/control health care
3. Direct/manage economy via energy (cap & trade)
These initiatives will only be successful if the Kenyan has sufficient tax revenues and adequate access to credit (Treasuries) to pay for his grandiose schemes.
Purposely slowing down the economy through a concerted effort to save more & spend less will help crater tax receipts. With falling revenues, -0- will be forced to borrow more to make up the shortfalls.
Escalating demand for debt (increased risk = increased prices of debt & higher interest rates), and a dawning realization that invested funds will not contribute to increased imports (Chinese perspective), will serve to detonate the bond market and dry up his ability to loan money.
No taxes and no Treasuries means the shiftless punk from ChiTown will be sh!t out of luck trying to take over our country. Wake up and get with the program. It's not really an option - we're literally in a fight for our lives. If we help breathe new life into the economy, we're merely funding the agents of our oppression.
The other baby boomers, well, we recognize them and deeply resent their anti-American, drive to destroy our culture, our spirit and our faith in an attempt to replace it with their version of communism.
In my dreams, I would wish them all ten years in Cuba, or Venezuela and no means of escape.
You know what is stunning? Watch this video of Treasury Secretary Snow on September 10, 2003 and compare his testimony to the crap Treasury Secretary Geitner put forth just a few days ago. The difference is stunning, simply stunning.
actually I think that is Baraq's goal to be supremo commandante of a socialist "paradise"

I have some reservations about Ali going nearly 7 years in this era without ever being decked. I don't think he'd lose to any of these men either, but he struggled with left hookers at all phases of his career, and this era is loaded with south paws. He'd beat everyone who Klit beat within that time frame, no doubt. But to think that he might get momentarily decked or suffer a flash knockdown against one or two of them is not too far fetched.

Moto riding + campout - June 22?

I met Bruce at camp just past noon... I was coming straight from T-ball, he'd already done all of Guanella pass.. good way to start the day. We gassed up and proceeded to hit everything we could on the north side of Leavenworth Creek, as that river looked a little too deep and too brisk to attempt on 2 wheels. We made it past Waldorf probably only a mile up Argentine until we hit snow, then we did the McClellan side and were able to get up and over the whole thing. At a few points we had about 1' of dirt between the drifts and the edge of the road, but just enough room to squeeze a moto up and through. What a hoot.
By the time we were making it down some quads had followed our tracks and had widened the snow drifts to the point where probably by next weekend you could get a truck up there. After McClellan we went down the other way, checking out that cabin (couple exciting puddles along the way), then down the bumpy "k" road to the main road. We played a little on the lower Leavenworth section, using both the higher junction and the Subzali Junction to get around the main water crossings. Would like to go back towards the end of the season when the water is lower, to explore that south side hill we saw everyone on yesterday. Also try to get to the top of Argentine.
Last comment is about all the other users up there- parking on the Guanella Pass road was packed, the pass was busy, everything from other moto bikes to mountain bikes to hikers, Jeeps, quads, golf carts, full size trucks, you name it it was up there. Without exception, everyone we came across was super cool. Half of them were asking us for directions, or is this route passable, etc., the other half enjoyed watching us sputter by. The leaders of the quads held up their numbers, their tail gunner always gave us the fist. I was really impressed by the etiquette, kind of renewed my hope a little.
Here's my manual panorama from the back side of McClellan, I-70 and I think the Bakerville exit is in the middle one.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. (WJLA) -- Ten thousand people with ten thousand different reasons are all working toward the same objective: finding a job.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Tanger Outlets is hosting a massive job fair to get ready for the new mall at National Harbor. And job seekers are flooding in by the bus load.
"I'm interested in whatever you have available," says Tierra Cole to a hiring representative. Cole has been out of work for close to two years and with two kids at home, she's looking for a career.
"So I want to be able to lead by example," Cole says. "I want to show them that you can't just be at home doing nothing -you have to be out there after school getting a job."
And positions come by the dozens -from jewelers to Jockey, Johnny Rockets to J. Crew, retailers are looking to hire before the mall officially opens.
"The point of today is really to get to know the brands," says Christi Wallace of Tanger Outlets.
Some companies are doing on-site interviews, while some are just accepting applications -- but the bottom line is that Tanger Outlets has to fill 900 full and part-time positions by the time the mall opens in November.
"This is a really incredible day for us," Wallace says. "It really sets the pace for us to say 'we're gonna get it done, we're gonna open in two months.' So, we're really excited."
With so many options, recent college graduate Antonio Sanders says he's just excited about the opportunity.
"So to me there has to be a job out there for me somewhere," Sanders says.
The event runs through September 18th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Southern Regional Technology and Recreation Complex in Fort Washington, MD.

Poor Methodology Blights Study on DA and Apartheid
BYLINE: Herman W Kruijsse
Several newspapers cited a recent survey that asked respondents between the age of 15 and 34 and from different ethnicity and gender whether they believe that the DA, if elected, would bring back apartheid. Apparently 52% of blacks, 26% of Indians, 21% of coloureds and 19% of whites believe the DA would bring back apartheid.
The researchers of the above survey state that the results are nationally representative in terms of age, gender and race.
The results are based on the responses of 3 009 respondents. There are four main factors: age, race, gender and provinces. The province factor is necessary to control the variety within and between provinces. For example, the population of Limpopo consists almost 97% of black people whereas black people in Gauteng, whose population is almost triple that of Limpopo, comprise 74% of the population.
"Provinces" has nine categories, "gender" two categories and "race" four categories. "Age" runs between 15 and 34 years old. Since it is likely that age is observed as belonging to an age class, I must assume that at least three age categories were used: 16 to 20; 21 to 27 and 28 to 33.
Therefore, if every category is to be observed, at least 12 males and 12 females per province are required to have a single opinion per province. Thus we would need a "national" sample size of 216 (2x3x4x9) to have one valid observation per province.
It is evident that a single black or white or coloured or Indian female or male respondent of a particular age category is not representative for the opinion of people with similar demographics in a province, neither for that matter would nine respondents be representative of the whole country.
Would you think that 14 per province would be representative? For that is what the sample size of 3 009 used in the survey implies.
Interviews were carried out on cellphones. This raises several questions. Did a random generator generate cellphone numbers that were called by trial and error and were people asked to state their demographics prior to an interview? Was the cellphone number of the survey group advertised so that people could respond? Were numbers obtained by some databases of which owners of cellphone numbers agreed to have their numbers used for such purposes?
We do know that there is no public directory of cellphone numbers; they are private.
Either way - legal, illegal or unethical - interviewing by cellphone is prone to non-random sampling. …

DICV chief takes a dig at discounts
Feb 26 2013 , Chennai
"Fleet owners have to endure asset loss of 12-18 per cent on their fleets due to the recent aggressive pricing policies by companies," he said.
Ashok Leyland had indicated that its realisations were impacted due to discounts hitting very high levels at about Rs 1,15,000 per vehicle during the December quarter even though it took price hikes in October and January. In a recent conference call, C Ramakrishnan, chief financial officer of Tata Motors said, "I am not seeing any particular reduction in January, February compared with a quarter ago. It (discounts) remained intense." He also said given the market situation and the volume and the overall demand situation, the discount levels were running quite high and he had not seen it reducing in January and February.
Explaining the impact of high discounts further, Llistosella said residual value of a 25-tonner truck of 2011 model has dropped by about 12 per cent to about Rs 11.5 lakh, while residual value of a 22-tonner of 2009 model saw a drop of 17 per cent to Rs 9.5 lakh. "Reduced sales and inventory pile up forced OEMs to curtail production and increase discounts. Discount levels reached a peak of up to 25 per cent by OEMs compared with earlier levels of 3 per cent. High counts destruct established brand values and lead to pure price decisions," he added.
S P Singh of IFTRT (Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training) had said that that truckers would remain cautious in purchase of new truck chassis and will like to improve the utilisation of their existing truck fleet because last six months had witnessed a steep drop of 25-30 per cent in resale price of old trucks across the country and hence truckers are unable to generate margin money for purchase of new trucks and have increase in working capital by selling of their old fleet.

Microsoft's refusal to obey a 2004 order that it share software data with rivals may prompt European authorities to consider harsher remedies...
Microsoft's refusal to obey a 2004 order that it share software data with rivals may prompt European authorities to consider harsher remedies in future antitrust cases, Europe's chief competition enforcer told U.S. lawyers.
The lengthy legal fight with Microsoft has taught officials that more drastic remedies such as a breakup may be needed for companies that continue to abuse their market dominance, Neelie Kroes, the European Commission's competition commissioner, told a conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
Microsoft is appealing a 497-million-euro ($675 million) fine levied in 2004 for abusing its Windows monopoly for personal computer operating software by squelching competition for computer servers. Last month, European Union regulators threatened Microsoft with fines for charging "unreasonable" licensing fees for data needed by software rivals.
"We have never, ever before encountered a company that has refused to comply with commission decisions," Kroes said. "We learned we may have to look for a more effective remedy."

Kroes spoke at a panel discussion with U.S. antitrust enforcers, who have said the commission's actions against Microsoft were based on faulty economic principles. The discussion was sponsored by the American Bar Association.
"We have done everything humanly possible to comply with a decision that is unfortunately very unclear and undefined, and we will continue to work with the commission in every way that we can," Microsoft spokesman Guy Esnouf said in an e-mailed statement.
In 2001, the U.S. Justice Department negotiated a settlement with Microsoft after an appeals court upheld findings that the world's largest software maker had illegally protected its Windows monopoly.
The appeals court also overturned a trial judge's order breaking up Microsoft.
Subsequently, the European Commission, acting on complaints by Sun Microsystems, America Online and other U.S. companies, ordered Microsoft to share software data that rivals need to write server programs that work well with the Windows PC operating system.
The commission, the European Union's antitrust arm in Brussels, began investigating Microsoft after a complaint filed by Sun in 1998.
Last July, the agency fined Microsoft 280.5 million euros ($381 million) for not complying with the March 2004 ruling.
Neither Thomas Barnett, the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust chief, nor Deborah Majoras, chairwoman of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, responded to Kroes' remarks.
Separately, a Microsoft lawyer said Friday that there has been "no market acceptance" of another remedy ordered by the European Commission in 2004.
There is "literally zero" demand for a version of Windows stripped of a music and video player, which the company was ordered to offer customers in Europe, David Heiner, Microsoft's deputy general counsel, told a technology conference in New York.

I would not like it either to win that way. It reminded me about a loss I had, after I had first overwhelmed my opponent completely. He could not believe it, that I had overlooked that final test of his after he did not see all of mine. Off course, I regretted the loss and still remember it, but I remember it mainly because I never had an opponent more disbalanced about a loss of me than I was myself.
Your opponent might regret his move, but will remember your chivalry and returned it. Beautiful.
What would you do in his place? How would you think when you get an offer for a draw after you first announce a mate in 8 and then blundering your advantage away? Would you think that you still deserve that draw? Would you considerate it appropriate? Or would you think that it is more appropriate to lose the game? You know the answer of your opponent, because he resigned. I agree with him and would take the win. It is a game after all.
This wasn't a bad but intentional move, it was dropping the piece on the wrong square by accident.
If not for such accidents, I would never lose at bullet.
As the player who made the blunder, I did not want the win. the loss was most deserved.
Commenters should understand the conditional blunder was more than a slip of the wrist. I foolishly tried to build all the possible variations within a mate in 8 as conditionals. For what I thought were less likely moves I did not pay adequate attention in editing. The main lines were edited with care. It appears that my opponent decided to end the game faster than necessary and therefore followed one of the least likely conditionals--to ultimate victory!
Lesson, don't show off by building complex conditionals.
Pride precedeth the fall!

Chennai, May 12 (IANS) Having been around for nearly three decades and witnessing changes in the industry, Telugu actor Akkineni Nagarjuna describes monopolization of theatres as one of the biggest threats for the industry.
"There have been far too many changes in the industry in the last hundred years and we have been quick to adapt to most of them. But, what worries me the most is that growing threat of monopolization of theatres in the state (Andhra Pradesh)," Nagarjuna told IANS.
"I'm not happy with monopolization of theatres by some individuals or by a larger group. By taking control of theatres, we are not making way to the release of so many films that are still lying in the labs or waiting to be picked up by distributors," he added.
Who do you think is responsible for monopolization?
"I don't want to take names but I'm sure those responsible for it are aware of what they are doing. If we can't stop it, then we should quickly find an alternative to overcome the challenge. This will take time, but we need to act as quickly as possible," said Nagarjuna.
Nagarjuna had also expressed his anger over moral policing on cinema in the country.

It's easy to connect your boots to your skis; you can glue them together, say, or use a whole roll of duct tape. If you prefer reliable release, bomber retention, and safety over DIY clamps, though, Salomon's Z12 Ski Binding is worth a try. It has a DIN that runs from four all the way up to 12, making it perfect for intermediates or middleweight experts, along with automatic wing and toe adjustment that reduce the futzing around required before you're ready to ride. The Vertical Progressive Pivot ensures consistent release in backwards falls, and the SCP pedal slider anti-friction device makes sure you won't be locked in during the sideways twisting falls that can take a toll on your knees.

- Automatic wing adjustment

Great binding at a great price!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I highly recommend this binding. I bought these bindings for some skis my son and I made at the RAMP ski company in Park City ( which is another great story).
I chose Salomon bindings because I have always skied on Salomon bindings and never had a serious accident or knee injury related to my ski binding. They always seem to release only when they really should if I have them set up right by a qualified ski tech. That is why I chose this binding for my son's skis as well. I feel like I'm getting a dependable binding that performs as well as some more expensive high end bindings for a great price.
I did 3 stars because I only took them a couple of times at the end of the season since it was such a lean season and I didn't want to trash my new skis. I'm hoping this season we'll see major deep pow pow and I can really put them to the test.

No 113 Posted by fw, February 4, 2011
It's not easy being an activist. Especially if you are an American Jew who also happens to be a member of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) — with this Mission Statement:
"Jewish Voice for Peace members are inspired by Jewish tradition to work together for peace, social justice, equality, human rights, respect for international law, and a U.S. foreign policy based on these ideals. JVP opposes anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, and anti-Arab bigotry and oppression. JVP seeks an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem; security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians; a just solution for Palestinian refugees based on principles established in international law; an end to violence against civilians; and peace and justice for all peoples of the Middle East."
. . . and a Political Platform that includes this bold assertion:
"We are among the many American Jews who say to the U.S. and Israeli governments: 'Not in our names!' "
Today, JVP member, Estee Chandler, sent an email to all JVP subscribers to report this chilling discovery:
"Wednesday morning I found a slightly crumpled piece of paper stuffed in a plant on my front porch. When I unfolded it I saw my photo under the words, 'Wanted For Treason And Incitement Against Jews.' My first thought was, wow — that didn't take long. Then my heart sank when I saw the names of children in my family."
Here is the full text of Estee's personalized email.
Dear Frank,
When I was contemplating launching a Los Angeles chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace last fall, I consulted with some very wise and knowledgeable friends first. I went forward knowing that it would be not only difficult, but potentially frightening and perhaps even dangerous. I took into account that part of my job would be keeping all around me and all who choose to become active as safe as possible.
Wednesday morning I found a slightly crumpled piece of paper stuffed in a plant on my front porch. When I unfolded it I saw my photo under the words, "Wanted For Treason And Incitement Against Jews." My first thought was, wow– that didn't take long. Then my heart sank when I saw the names of children in my family.
I am happy to say that the detective at my local police department took the matter very seriously. I am also lucky to live in a neighborhood that the police patrol regularly and which has a great network of neighbors who all look out for each other.
I feel supported by my friends, family local activist community and by the wonderful staff and board of Jewish Voice for Peace. I feel safe. I am not afraid. But I do think this is a great reminder that we should ALL be aware, safe and steadfast in our commitment to equal safety and rights for all peoples.
While we don't know who did it, and perhaps never will, we do know that they are cowards. And that we won't back down.
When two members of Jewish Voice for Peace in Northern California were recently pepper-sprayed at a chapter meeting by a member of pro-settler group StandWithUs, they didn't back down. When the same JVP chapter along with Women in Black and Palestinian allies endured an hour of threats and hate speech at a silent vigil, they didn't back down. When the JVP staff repeatedly found "Viva [mass murderer] Baruch Goldstein" stickers outside of their offices, they didn't back down.
Instead, Jewish Voice for Peace is gathering as a national movement in Philadelphia to continue our growth across the nation. The kind of growth that led to a watershed profile in today's New York Times. We will do so in a changed world. This week, perhaps like you, I've been transfixed by images on the television of everyday people like you and me in the streets of Cairo, risking everything for democracy, for freedom, for human and civil rights, for a better life for themselves and their nation's children.
The risks are always the same. Throughout history, every movement for freedom has faced backlash, threats, and violence. And throughout history, there have been people acting together who have faced their fear and decided the price of silence was too much to pay.
I know internationals, Israelis and most of all Palestinians who have lost an eye, a home, a child, a loved one. But, amazingly, they don't hide. They speak out even louder. They are my heroes. And it is for them and because of them that I publicly redouble my commitment to being smart, strategic, brave and loud– most of all, loud. And to join with others so we can be even louder together.
Together, we are the majority of Jews, Americans, and citizens of the world who know that Israel's violations of human rights must end. That Palestinians deserve the same rights that my Israeli family has– to have safe homes, to go to school, to go to work, to grow and be sustained by food from the earth. But as long as we let acts of cowardice like this WANTED poster keep us quiet and fearful, then the others' voices will drown ours out.
That's why I hope you'll join me at the Jewish Voice for Peace National Member Meeting in Philadelphia March 11- 13. Let's send a message to those who did this to me and so many others.
Let's send a message to the people pushing occupation and injustice that threats and violence will only hasten their defeat, and that we are together and strong.

Bravo, Estee Chandler. You and your fellow JVP citizen activists are inspiring us with your courageous words and deeds. Stay safe.
i am so sorry to hear about this. i greatly admire the work of jvp up here in the bay area where i live, it is a vital organization. i sincerely hope the best for you and your family.
my prayers go out to you.
Please support the work of all people who are for peace and not all this ill-willed fraud for money and/or control's sake for the ruling elite status quo. I do my best to understand and relay the work of these Jewish people for peace and for my country, America, to follow it's Constitution for peace as well. Here are some of the best sites I feel we need to understand and relay to the world that mainstream won't show us much, if ever, without demonizing and/or making up lies on all of us.

Having already dipped his toes into "Mission: Impossible," and with "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" now under his belt, it seems there isn't a franchise around that J.J. Abrams won't touch, and as fans already know, he once penned a script for a Superman movie. Without getting lost in the development history, this was in the long years before "Superman Returns" when Warner Bros. was trying to figure out how to reboot the iconic hero, with a number of filmmakers and writers all developing different takes. Abrams' version may be the most infamous.
Entitled "Flyby," is certainly took enough liberties with the mythology that AICN famously ripped it apart saying, "You'll believe a franchise can suck!" Among the twists, Lex Luthor worked for the CIA...and as a part of his work, gains superpowers and becomes able to fly. And oh yeah, Superman dies....and via some new age-y stuff, manages to resurrect himself and live to fight to another day. It was a controversial take to be sure (read the whole breakdown at the link above), and fans didn't rest any easier with Brett Ratner and McG both linked to direct at various stages. But Abrams has weighed in on where he was coming from with his incarnation.
"The thing that I tried to emphasise in the story was that if the Kents found this boy, Kal-El, who had the power that he did, he would have most likely killed them both in short order," he explained to Empire. "And the idea that these parents would see – if they were lucky to survive long enough – that they had to immediately begin teaching this kid to limit himself and to not be so fast, not be so strong, not be so powerful."
"The result of that, psychologically, would be fear of oneself, self-doubt and being ashamed of what you were capable of," he continued. "Extrapolating that to adulthood became a fascinating psychological profile of someone who was not pretending to be Clark Kent, but who was Clark Kent. Who had become that kind of a character who is not able or willing to accept who he was and what his destiny was...The idea in the movie was that he became Superman because he realised he had to finally own his strength and what he'd always been."
He doesn't seem to discuss the riskier things he did with the mythology and while he says he's uncertain that Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder are taking that same thematic approach (it seems they are), he "could not be more thrilled to see that movie."
So, do you think Abrams take would have been interesting or did he veer to far away from who Superman is? Let us know below.

As GamePolitics reported yesterday, the Florida Supreme Court alleged earlier this week that controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson has "abused the legal system by submitting numerous frivolous and inappropriate filings in this Court."
In GP's experience, Thompson's legal filings are indeed frequent, often vitriolic, and occasionally come with, ahem, pictures attached. But that's old news. So what filing of Thompson's pushed the Florida Supremes to the brink?
The Daily Business Review reports that a December document was specifically mentioned in the Court's show cause order to Thompson:
The court described one of Thompson's recent filings in detail. [Thompson] dubbed it a "children's picture book for adults," interspersing images with text in his motion due to "the court's inability to comprehend" his arguments.
Images included "swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word 'slap' written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, monkeys, a house of cards," the order said.
You can see that filing here (MS Word format), slightly edited for length. For his part, Thompson told the DBR:
I have a right to file anything I want with the court. It is beyond bizarre that they think they can tell me I can't seek relief. They can deny relief, but they can't tell me I can't seek relief.
GP: Some folks are asking in comments, so let me reiterate. This is a real document that Thompson really filed with the real Florida Supreme Court in December. Apparently, it made the justices really mad…

Evaluation of Body Composition Measurement in Chinese Children
Hui, Sai-Chuen, Wong, Stephen Hueng Sang, Wong, Gary Wing Kin, Lau, Patrick Wing Chung, Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
Sai-Chuen Hui, Stephen Heung Sang Wong, Gary Wing Kin Wong, and Patrick Wing Chung Lau, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), skinfolds measurement (SKF), and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are widely used field methods in evaluating body composition. The associations of these body composition measurements with the criterion of body fat were documented extensively in adult population. However, few comparison studies were found for Chinese children. The existing SKF (Slaughter et al., 1988) and BIA prediction equations (Kim et al., 1993; Watanabe et al., 1993) for children have not been cross-validated in Chinese children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the BW, BMI, SKF, and BIA in predicting %fat in Hong Kong Chinese children. Chinese children age 8 to 12 (42 girls, age = 10.33 [+ or -] 1.15 years; 32 boys, age = 10.66 [+ or -] 1.28 years) recruited from local primary schools participated in this study. All children participated in BW, BMI, SKF, and BIA measurement following standard procedures. The body fat criterion was measured by hydrostatic weighing, in which the resid ual volume was measured using the oxygen dilution method. Zero-order correlations (see below) found that most body composition measurements yielded high correlations with %fat criterion, except impedance (Z) and estimated %fat derived from BIA.
Highest r was found in BW for girls and in BMI for boys. Lowest r were found for BIA and Z. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the 2-site skinfolds equations produced relatively large standard errors (6. …

The program can be downloaded from this link
With great misfortune to the F/OSS community and great sadness, SourceForge have become utter Web weenies, and put all sorts of dropdown menu code into their pages. Although it is better than some implementations (most notably to me, the code for WHAM AM), it still is utterly completely useless and unadulterated crap. Apparently a lot of Web designers, including the poor souls responsible for the HTML at SF, never stopped to think the ***ONLY*** place you will ***EVER*** find menus that will drop down without being clicked is in Web designs. It's purely and simply an abomination. The most objectionable part of it is that these menus obscure content. If I just accidentally roll my mouse over them, suddenly, the content underneath them becomes inaccessible. And for whatever reasons (I'm guessing it's their bad HTML), clicking on a space not occupied by their menu does not make their menu go away. It's Web insanity. I am so unbelievably angry with them for absolutely ruining such a great site with their ********STUPID******** antics.
The Tk Web form Buddy is a Tk script that allows one easily to make a series of strings available to the X11 PRIMARY selection, which is useful for filling in Web forms that have common/repetitive data. How many times have you wished to have something to always fill in your name, address, email, etc.? It's not automatic enough to fill these in for you, but you can click on each button to make it the PRIMARY selection so that you can paste these strings into a Web form, with the middle mouse button for example.
The "&" makes my shell put this program into the
background, much like other X apps are usually run. A button is
displayed for every argument; press one and it changes color to
indicate it will be returned as the selection when asked. The
window's background changes to red when TkWebBud no longer owns the
tkwebbud "Verizon Online" 768 128 &
For those who visit there often, you'll recognize this as text for the "graph" page accessed after running the DSLReports speed test app, asking for ISP, advertised down, and advertised up speeds. That's the whole genesis of this app.
Does nothing with the return selection function arguments. It really should return only partial strings if the offset and size are specified.
Specifies a fixed geometry. I run a window manager in which I place all new windows; they aren't placed for me. So before displaying the window, I tell the window manager to put it at +0+0. There should probably be a way to specify geometry.
A .tkwebbudrc or .tkwebbud/rc might be nice, instead of having to specify arguments all the time.
(The following is just due to not knowing enough Tk, I'm sure)
