food processingFruit jelly and preserve manufacture, an important fruit by-product industry, is based on the high-solids–high-acid principle, with its moderate heat-treatment requirements. Fruits that possess excellent qualities but are visually unattractive may be preserved and utilized in the form of concentrates, which have a pleasing taste and substantial nutritive value.

This is due in part to sugar added at the table or as an ingredient in candy, preserves, and sweetened colas or other beverages.

Denver Dinosaur Promises Safe, Efficient Commute: The T-Rex Project Will Expand and Improve Interstates 25 and 225, and Add Light Rail Service to the Denver Metropolitan Region
Davis, Lance, Nation's Cities Weekly
A modern day dinosaur is stalking the Denver metropolitan area.
And unlike its prehistoric predecessors, this T-Rex will be streamlined and multi-faceted, and promises to move thousands of commuters efficiently and safely through the region's Southeast Commercial Corridor.
T-Rex--the Transportation Expansion Project--is a $1.67 billion multi-modal transportation venture that will bring 19 miles of light rail and improve 17 miles of Interstates 25 and 225. The project began in the fall of 2001 and is expected to be complete by the end 2006.
A Dinosaur is Born
Denver's first major thoroughfare, the Great North and South Highway, was built at a time when the city had less than 300,000 register automobile owners.
It was replaced by the Valley Highway in 1958, which carried 33,000 vehicles per day between Denver and the outlying suburbs. By 1964, when work began on Interstate 225, traffic on the valley highway increased to 52,000 cars per day.
When work on Valley Highway finished, Colorado transportation officials estimated it would handle about 127,000 vehicles per day.
Likewise, I-225 was built to handle 50,000 cars per day along its 12-mile strip.
But Denver and its suburbs were rapidly growing. Between 1985 and 1998, the Texas Transportation Institute estimated traffic along both highways increased 43 percent, and identified Denver as the seventh most congested metropolitan area in the United States, and the I-25/I-225 interchange as the 14th busiest interchange in the nation.
By 1998, the Valley Highway was carrying 230,000 cars per day and I-225 was carrying 120,000 per day.
Adding to congestion along the Southeast Corridor--the area serviced by I-225 and Valley Highway--was the construction of the Denver Tech Center, an industrial park in the Denver suburbs.
Recent studies found that as many people were commuting from the City of Denver to the Denver Tech Center as were commuting from the suburbs to city's Central Business District.
By 2000, with more than 180,000 people working and commuting to both the Denver Tech Center and Denver Central Business District, and another 30,000 working along the Southeast Corridor, the time had come Denver and its neighbors to consider better transportation options.
T-Rex Evolves
In 1992, the Denver Regional Council of Governments commissioned a traffic congestion study to identify the most congested corridors in the metro region and to determine whether those corridors had appropriate traffic management planning in place through the year 2015.
The study showed that the Southeast Corridor had been identified as a likely candidate for highway expansion for more than 20 years. The study also showed that expected growth along the corridor had been surpassed and that traffic along Valley Highway and I-225 had surpassed their maximum capacity.
The study recommended that not only should the council of governments consider expanding the highway, but also incorporate some form of mass transit--such as light rail--along the Southeast Corridor.
A simple proposal on paper, but not so easy in reality since highway construction falls under the domain of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and rail construction was the purview of the Regional Transportation District.
To undertake a project that included highway rail components would require cooperation not only between the Regional Transportation District and CDOT, it would also mean they would have to work with the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration and the local entities represented by the council of governments. …

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - November 30, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Veto Editorial Page Saturday, November 30, 1974 When police pursue Concerned over an inordinate number of high-speed chases and resulting damage to several po- lice vehicles, Cedar Rapids Chief of Police LaPeters is checking the motor vehicle pursuit policies of police departments in other cit- ies. The research is a good idea. It should supplement knowledge LaPeters has gained in several previous supervisory stints. 'It should also indicate whether chase-related accidents here are running higher than the norm for like-sized cities of similar popu- lation density. In the meantime, however, the chief says his inclination is to let officers decide whether to pursue fleeing suspects or abandon the chase. That route, in our layman's view, is the only realistic way to go. Choosing whether to chase down another driver lickety-split through town requires the exact brand of intuition needed in de- ciding how to respond to an om- inous "trouble unknown" call. Are there signs of aggravated criminal activity? Will the public be served better by catching up with suspected malefactqrs now? Or should one opt to let the pursued driver escape, perhaps to cause greater harm fGrther down the road? It takes an experienced, well- trained individual to sense the nearly ethereal warning signals. Some have the knack. Some will acquire it later. Others the bullheaded in particular may never catch on. As any officer will attest, no two set of cir- cumstances are identical. So it would make no sense whatever for police here to have a set list of do's and don'ls gov- erning vehicle pursuit. All the public can expect is that officers place public safety above all else. Only finely-honed instincts can provide that service. The need for good judgment cannot be overstated. Indeed, the decision to chase or fall back can be more critical than the choice of firing a gun at a felon. Unless discharged as a "warning shot" (unwise, in most the bullet is not likely to harm any- one other than the criminal target. But a speeding auto can endanger anyone on or near the traveled right-of-way. They're off again (way off) As if the ordinary people in a politics-obsessed republic had no greater passion than knowing who will run for President two years hence, the nation's accommodat- ing pollsters regularly undertake to test the wind. Just as they did it four years ago for the 1972 elec- tion, so they have done it this month for the one on tap in '76. The process customarily turns out to be an exercise in relative futility so far as solid forecasting goes. Even so it tends to be instructive in a few ways not in- tended. One impressive item on that score from the renewal is the way the field changes each time out. The Harris Survey, for exam- ple, took a reading on 11 Demo- cratic "possibles" at this stage of the shape-up four years ago and on 18 so-called contenders right now. (Democrats both times have provided the only suspense in the matter.) From last time to this one, only four names carried over: Edmund Muskie, George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Birch Bayh. Gone from the 1970 stable are Edward Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, John Lindsey, Sargent Shriver, Ramsey Clark, John Gardner and Harold Hughes. Newly programmed, in addition to the carryovers, are George Wallace, Eugene McCarthy, John Glenn, Henry Jackson, William Proxmire, Morris Udall, E.G. Brown, jr., Jimmy Carter, Reubin Askew, Hugh Carey, Terry San- ford, Lloyd Bentsen, Dale Bump- ers and Daniel Walker. (Among the last nine, plus Mondale and Bayh, 56 to 80 percent of the pub- lic confesses too much unfamiliar- ity to make a choice. One person in eight, it is also worth noting, conceded equal ignorance about the Democrat who actually head- ed the ticket in '72.) One is tempted to lament, considering these kinds of line- ups, that no outstanding individu- als in any line of "work but politics ever get into the act. As a practi- cal matter, however, there is probably no hope for outside blood: Professionals who run the show and name the cast will never short of miracle or mad- ness go for anyone who never graced a ballot. and proved that he has the most requisite talent of all: garnering votes. Maybe the pollsters could conjure an earthquake by listing some able outsiders along with the ones holding office and see how they rate side by side. Even though professionals would never go for anything so wild, the peo- ple just might. People's forum Bus praise To the Editor: Of the many wonderful programs put into effect for the elderly, the retired and the physically handicapped by so many public-spirited groups and citi- zens, the city and county programs for senior citizens bus service and "SEATS" rank right up there at the top. I've never taken the SEATS bus, because I've had no occasion to go out- side the county, but I've taken the buses for the elderly many times on errands in the city. I am more than pleased with the efficient, reliable, prompt service given by both the drivers and the wom- en who handle the telephones. The drivers are not only courteous but pleasant and very accommodating, I'll recite an example, as I don't be- lieve many of the elderly have taken these buses to know just how efficient they are. The bus picked me up and let me off at the west-side Peoples bank. I went to Claxdin's pharmacy tn pick up medications which I'd ordered in adv- ance. Then I returned to the front of the hank building, where the bus picked me up and took me to the main library. I [licked up my books, and then the bus liickcd me up and returned me home. I was gone exactly one hour for these three trips and errands a cost of 20 cents a trip, three trips. Can anyone top this? These buses are a godsend to those of us who have foot, leg, knee and other problems which prevent us from stand- ing and walking too much at a time. And for the many of us who have the problem of trying to make a penny do the work of 100 pennies. I liken these buses to Rolls Royces driven by one's private chauffeurs the poor man's luxury, his dream come true. Also, I wish to remind the many who don't know that if one is held up on an appointment and can't keep the time set for a bus to come again, all one has to do is notify the bus office. The people in charge will change the time to a later one. So one doesn't have to worry when the doctor, the dentist or someone else holds one's appointments up. I hope this program is never dis- continued. Mrs. Wilbur C. Miller, sr. 51fi 1 avenue NW Fairness? To the Editor: Is it fair to condemn an innocent man through the laws of Linn county when he knows he is right? I was sent til court on a larceny charge. People have convicted me when I know I'm innocent. Is it fair? Jim Nichols 1206 Fifth avenue SE Exposure helps, hurts Protest clouds student records By William F. Buckley, jr. The administrators of many of the country's colleges and universities are these days grateful for their long experi- ence in the civil disobedience of their students. They are preparing something of the sort in protest against the pro- mulgation of the so-called Buckley amendment. The amendment took effect last Tuesday, having earlier this year been tacked on to the omnibus education subsidy bill at the urging of the sainted junior senator from New York, Mr. James L. Buckley. The rider is known as the "Family educational rights and privacy act of 1974." It passed as a result of one of those infrequent and felicitous conjunctions of right- and left-wing pressure. Mr. Buckley, desiring to protect the privacy of students, found himself in the same camp with the American Civil Liberties Union, which desires the same thing. Usually the ACLU desires that kind of thing in order to protect people from being prosecuted, or convicted. Senator Buckley desires it in order to protect students from wandering around the country for the rest of their lives with a hidden albatrqss around their neck hostile information, of a factual or eval- uative nature, that is often available to almost anyone who wants to look at the file except the man the file describes. The rider gives to the parents of students in primary and secondary schools the right to inspect these files, to protect their children against malice, and otherwise to respect their privacy. At the college level, the bill permits college students to march into the rele- vant offices and demand to see their files. Now there are some very good argu- ments against Senator Buckley's rider. It is true for instance that a teach- er, asked to give a recommendation to a college senior for review by the admis- sions board of a graduate school, is not William F. Buckley, jr. Food control To the Editor: Pope Paul VI was unfairly under- quoted in your Nov. 17 editorial. The Wanderer, St. Paul Minn., quoted fur- ther: "It is inadmissible thai those who have control of the wealth and resources of mankind should try to solve the problems of hunger by forbidding the poor to be born or by leaving to die of hunger children whose parents do not fit into the framework of theoretical plans based on pure hypothesis about man- kind's future that civilization places too much emphasis on industrial and technical solutions and too little on hu- man values almost to the total abandon- ment of agriculture." There is a food shortage not a food crisis. The Nixon-Kissinger administra- tion paid U. S. farmers over a period of five years at least billion more not to grow grain than it would have cost to buy the grain and give it to the needy. So now Kissinger threatens the world with a Food Security Council, controlled like the U. N. Security Council, by a small clique of powerful nations. It's not hard to see what pressure such a council could bring to bear on countries which disagreed with U. N. policies. Charles Monrn, a Canadian farmer and head of the International federation of Agriculture Producers, stated that at no time during preparation of the World Food Conference had any farmers been consulted, and he had not been able to likely to bo so candid if he thinks there is a chance that the student he is de- scribing will himself be reviewing the professor's recommendation. Or consider the parent who sends his boy to a prep school to which said par- ent has been donating gymnasiums or whatever for a generation. Suddenly he discovers that the headmaster's letter to Harvard discreetly advises Harvard that the young man is a pain in the behind, and ought not to be admitted into the company of civilized people. There goes the hockey rink. Indeed, the resistance of the college administrators is in the classic mode: Interpret the law, if possible, ludicrous- ly. Thus Mr. Albert B. Fitt, legal ad-, viser to Yale university, has said with- out one gathers cracking a smile, that under the new act, "grades may no longer be sent to parents." This because the act specifies that no data from the files may be sent to anyone without the students' consent, and Mr. Fitt is here suggesting that the students woujd deny knowledge of their grades to their par- ents. That is, of course, the way to torpedo a bill: Treat it the way Hugo Black and William Douglas treat the Bill of Rights, i.e. stretch it into incoherence. The trouble is, there is much that is correct in the objections to the act as it now stands. First and most obvious, congress Target unperceived shouldn't trespass ex post facto on ar- rangements arrived at legally, and in good faith. There are millions of recom- mendations on file that .were elicited on the representation that they would be held confi'dential. It is not right that any law should superordinate itself over the arrangements reached between college admissions offices, and persons writing letters of recommendations. Clearly, then, the law's focus should be prospective, rather than retroactive, and one would think that a simple clar- ification by congress, or by HEW with the tacit consent of Mr. Buckley would limit the students' rights to fu- ture files. And these would presumably be collected differently. Colleges would use a standard form and decline to solicit the advice of oth- ers except upon waiver, by the student, of any future right to examine that rec- ommendation. Surely the logical thing for the admissions officer to do, after weighing the evaluation of the student, would be to destroy the letter, to avoid strategic miscarriages of justice. What you have is a classic dilemma. Whatever happens, somebody loses something. When confronted with such dilemmas, the rule should be: Weigh in on the side of the individual, over against the bureaucracy. This Senator Buckley sought to do. His bill needs fine tuning, but it is correctly pitched. Fist-shake futility By Jim Fiebig I remember once as a kid sitting in a darkened theater and being pelted with candy throughout an entire Tarzan movie by an unseen assailant. Not knowing who was to blame mjdi.- it twice as frustrating. The American grocery shopper today is in the same irritating predicament. During the first nine months of this year, the market-basket cost of food has risen more than it did in all of 1973, and the culprit is nowhere in sight. With the farmers claiming innocence on one end and the supermarket chains on the other, we are left helplessly shak- ing our fists at some elusive, undefined culprit in between. obtain even a copy of the preliminary proceedings. He stated delegates "as- sume that food is a product of politi- cians speeches and big business opera- tors." Two IFAP leaders from Niger and Cameroon warned in 1971 about Sa- hara encroachment on their land but no one listened. One wonders what employes of the U. N. Fodd and Agricul- ture Organization has been up to all these years. A booklet, "Things To made available to journalists of the food conference, pictures a supermarket cart of goodies alongside a peasant scratch- ing the dry earth. The explanation re- fers to the disappearance of grain re- serves without mentioning deliberate idling of American land, and the tre- mendous price rises without mention of the secret Russian wheat deal. Then the. booklet states everything seems to have gone wrong at once. Well, a malevolent spirit seems to be tightening the world into a Utopia or death program where we eat if we play bail and starve if we don't. Americans, Ijcwarc of Kissinger placing olir rights under a World Food Council. Margaret Heaverlo 180 Twenty-second avenue SW Well, the mystery is over. The culprit in between, according to an agri- culture department survey released this month, is a guy called "the middle- man." The middleman lias accounted for 84 percent of this year's rise in food prices. But who really is the middle- man? What's his name: and occupation? Where can we write to that so-and-so? What's going to be done about him? Alas. The agriculture department can only tell us that we're shaking our fists in the right general direction. That's what I like about government surveys. They may not offer any solu- tions, but they give our frustrations such a nice, "official" stamp of ap- proval. Replacing it is a cartoon called Mar maduke; it has a dog.

Toynboe CBS news flunks test of balance By James J. Kilpatrick WASHINGTON The Institute for American Strategy last month released a thoughtful and thought-provoking study of the coverage given by the Col- umbia Broadcasting System in 1972-73 to news of national defense. The insti- tute charges CBS News with imbalance, and the charge is well taken. The evidence amassed by the insti- tute is overwhelming. Under the direc- tion of Ernest VV. Lefever, a distin- guished scholar in world affairs, a team of analysts undertook a meticulous ex- amination of the CBS evening news. They isolated every reference to nation- al security over a two-year period, stud- ied the transcripts, and tabulated their findings. American attitudes on defense may bo classified roughly in terms of the hawk, the sparrow, and the dove. The hawk believes national defense efforts should be increased; the sparrow be- lieves present levels are adequate; and the dove believes these levels should be reduced. As to Vietnam, the hawk de- fends U. S. involvement, the sparrow feels yes-and-no, and the dove deplores the whole thing. Lopsided Such classifications are fairly within the range of statistical analysis. The institute's study found that in 1972, CBS News gave 79 sentences to the hawk point of view, 774 to the sparrows, and 1.382 to the doves. The imbalance was even more glaring in coverage of Vietnam. The hawks got 25 sentences, the sparrows 493, and the doves The same imbalance was found in coverage of other news in the field of national security. CBS gave virtually no attention to Soviet military buildup; its news editors sought out doves for in- terviews; most damning of all, the net- work's own reporters regularly ex- pressed their own opinions in the guise of news. An analysis of "viewpoint sentences" found that 416 originated with CBS newsmen; of these, 3.4 percent inclined toward the hawks, 12.5 toward the sparrows, 84.1 to the doves. In brief: "A consistent and careful viewer of the CBS evening news, with no other sources of military information, would have gained a strange and mas- James J. Kilpatrick sively lopsided picture of our national defense issues and options CBS News gave 17 limes as much attention to views advocating that the U. S. gov- ernment do substantially less in defense and national security than to views advocating that the government do more." Richard S. Salanl, president of CBS News, has responded to the institute's study with a request for more informa- tion on the methodology. He promises to take the institute's charges seriously and to examine the data. It is a reasona- ble reply. So much for the institute's accusa- tions and the network's initial response. Something more remains to be said on the nature of news and the task of edi- torial judgment. The institute complains repeatedly, for example, that CBS car- ried little about "the mission" of the air force, "the mission" of the navy, and "the mission" of the army. The insti- tute objects that CBS ignored significant news of national security and gave time instead, on a given night, to such events as the trial of Angela Davis. News value Well, the trouble is that "the mis- sion" isn't news; and put to a choice between reporting Admiral Moorer on Soviet submarines and covering the trial of Angela Davis, 99 editors out of 100 would take the Davis trial. The Institute for American Strategy is ob- sessed with national defense a useful obsession. But a thousand other outfits have a thousand other newsworthy obsessions: abortion, gun control, fluoridation, or- ganic gardening, racial balance busing, women's rights, historic preservation. It is likely that every one of them could compile a stalistical violation of (lie fairness doctrine. On the record, CBS News evidently failed to meet requirements of the fair-' ness doctrine in its coverage of national security news. But to some degree, fair- ness, like beauty, lies in the eye of the beholder. If Solomon himself were sit- ting in for Walter Cronkite, complaints would still be heard. In the news busi- ness, alas, that's the way it is. Backup Nearly all politicians of the two-party system and an increasing number MTIDS lu appnne of hauni: thorn both tin1 same night. ;

Las Colinas
this wiki
Las Colinas is a district located in the northeast of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is bordered by Glen Park to the southwest, Jefferson, East Los Santos, Los Flores and East Beach to the south and Red County to the north.
The district is a stronghold for the Los Santos Vagos gang. Las Colinas is largely residential, working-class and with a high crime rate, and neighbors other Vagos and Ballas territories, specifically Los Flores, East Beach, Glen Park, Jefferson and East Los Santos. It is a raised district which contains steep downhills and uphills along with winding roads and alleyways. It is also the longest neighbourhood in the city.
Las Colinas is predominantly Mexican/Hispanic, and contains various small, single-family houses, apartments, small stores, a trailer park and a high-rise building in the east, near the highway. The western district doesn't seem to resemble any real-life locations and it looks like the neighborhood is more based on a real-life Mexico-based neighbourhood instead of a Los Angeles-based. The eastern part seems to resemble real-life districts such as Glassell Park or Cypress Park, and contains more single family homes than the more urban western part.
Events of GTA San Andreas
Las Colinas does not feature much during the storyline. During one mission, Carl Johnson and OG Loc chase Freddy, a homosexual Vagos gangster, through parts of Las Colinas, as he had attacked OG Loc when he was still in prison.

THE DETAILS: Researchers looked at non-vitamin, non-mineral "specialty" supplement use of more than 35,000 postmenopausal women and discovered that those who regularly used fish oil supplements were one-third less likely to develop breast cancer than those who did not use fish oil. "We looked at days per week and years of use, but not dose per day," says study author Emily White, PhD, an investigator at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington, both in Seattle. She noted that most women who used fish oil at the time they entered the study (in the low-risk group) took it four to seven times a week.
"Risk of breast cancer did not vary by years of use," she added. Researchers also found a lower breast cancer risk in higher-risk women (older age, obesity, heavy drinking, and physical inactivity are believed to put women at a higher risk) who reported taking fish oil supplements.
The study author also looked at 14 other non-vitamin, non-mineral supplements and found that no others were related to breast cancer risk. In addition, researchers also found that use of supplements sometimes taken for menopausal symptoms, including black cohosh, dong quai, soy, and St. John's wort, were not associated with breast cancer risk.
WHAT IT MEANS: White says the strength of evidence across all studies is not sufficient for a public health recommendation directing women to take fish oil supplements to prevent breast cancer. And though this study shows promise and warrants further research into the use of fish oil to prevent breast cancer, it's important to note that this was an observational study, so it does not show a cause-and-effect type of relationship that could provide more concrete evidence of a benefit. Still, mounting research suggests a whole slew of health benefits from incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into our diet, including protection against colon cancer and heart disease. (Need ideas? Here are five recipes rich in omega-3s to get you started.)
Flaxseeds, a vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids, are chockfull of another type called ALA, which partially converts to DHA and EPA (although the efficiency of the transformation varies, depending on which expert you ask).
Here's what you need to know to reduce breast cancer risk:
• Find the right fish. Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil supplements are known to calm inflammation, which raises the risk of all sorts of chronic diseases. While it's often best to get your nutrients from whole food sources, i.e., real fish, if you choose to go the supplement route, make sure you read our story on Best Fish Oil Supplements. Whether you're looking at a pill or a real fish entrée, it's important to choose a fish that's lower in contaminants, and species that aren't overfished. Sardines (Vital Choice uses BPA-free cans), anchovies, wild-caught Alaskan salmon, or mackerel. The Superfish List also reveals the greenest, healthiest seafood picks on the planet.
• Eliminate other risk factors. Make healthy to decrease your risk of developing breast cancer. "Women should not take combined hormone replacement therapy (estrogen plus a progestin), or should only take it for a short time," says White. "They should maintain a normal weight and limit alcohol intake."
Exercise has been shown to lower breast cancer risk. In fact, a study published in 2008 in the Clinical Journal of Oncology found that women who exercised a year before diagnosis were 30 percent more likely to survive the disease.

NRA: Public wants armed guards in every school
WASHINGTON The National Rifle Association on Sunday forcefully stuck to its call for placing armed police officers and security guards in every school as the best way to avoid shootings such as the recent massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the nation's largest gun rights lobbying organization, said the NRA would push Congress to put a police officer in every school and would coordinate a national effort to put former military and police offers in schools as volunteer guards.
The NRA's response to the Newtown shooting has been panned on several fronts since the group broke its weeklong silence on Friday about the rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Rep. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., called it "the most revolting, tone deaf statement I've ever seen." A headline from the New York Post summarized LaPierre's initial presentation before reporters in Washington with the headline: "Gun Nut! NRA loon in bizarre rant over Newtown."
"If it's crazy to call for putting police and armed security in our schools to protect our children, then call me crazy," LaPierre told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "I think the American people think it's crazy not to do it. It's the one thing that would keep people safe."
LaPierre also contended that any new efforts by Congress to regulate guns or ammunition would not prevent mass shootings. His fresh comments reinforced the position that the NRA took on Friday.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said LaPierre appears to blame everything but guns for a series of mass shootings in recent years.
"Trying to prevent shootings in schools without talking about guns is like trying to prevent lung cancer without talking about cigarettes," Schumer said.
The NRA plans to develop an emergency response program that would include using volunteers from the group's 4.3 million members to help guard children, and has named former Rep. Asa Hutchinson, R-Ark., as national director of the school program.
Hutchinson said the NRA's position was a "very reasonable approach" that he compared to the federal air marshal program that places armed guards on flights.
"Are our children less important to protect than our air transportation? I don't think so," said Hutchinson, who served as an undersecretary at the Department of Homeland Security when it was formed.
Hutchinson said schools should not be required to use armed security. LaPierre also argued that local law enforcement should have final say on how the security is put into place, such as where officers would be stationed.
"I've made it clear that it should not be a mandatory law, that every school has this. There should be local choice, but absolutely, I believe that protecting our children with an armed guard who is trained is an important part of the equation," Hutchinson told ABC's "This Week."
LaPierre cited Israel as a model for the type of school security system the NRA envisions.
""Israel had a whole lot of school shootings until they did one thing: They said `we're going to stop it,' and they put armed security in every school and they have not had a problem since then," he said.
Democratic lawmakers in Congress have become more adamant about the need for stricter gun laws since the shooting. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is promising to push for a renewal of legislation that banned certain weapons and limited the number of bullets a gun magazine could hold to 10. NRA officials made clear the legislation is a non-starter for them.
"It hasn't worked," LaPierre said. "Dianne Feinstein had her ban and Columbine occurred."
There also has been little indication from Republican leaders that they'll go along with any efforts to curb what kind of guns can be purchased or how much ammunition gun magazines can hold. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., noted that he had an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in his home. He said America would not be made safer by preventing him from buying another one. As to gun magazine limits, he said he can quickly reload by putting in a new magazine.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an apparatus for forming a sheet of material and cutting individual portions of the material from the sheet. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for forming a sheet of dough material, e.g., masa (corn-based dough), and cutting individual portions or chips from the sheeted dough.
2. Description of Relevant Art
Apparatus for forming sheets of various materials, including dough or the like food products, which force the material through a gap or nip located between a pair of rotating rollers are well known in the art. In such apparatus, the supply of dough is positioned above the gap formed between the confronting rollers, a dough mass is forced into the gap, and the rollers form the dough into a sheet. The sheet then is cut or suitably portioned, and the portions are then processed according to the desired product. For example, in the case of snack foods, the cut portions are baked or fried, seasoned, etc.
Various problems exist in the production of sheeted materials using the aforementioned apparatus. For example, the thickness of the final product (which may be, e.g., tortilla chips), strongly influences the product attributes that are important to consumers. In other words, a product that is too thick typically is unacceptable or unsatisfactory to consumers.
In the prior art dough-sheeting machines mentioned above, variations often are present in the rheology of the dough or masa mass that is fed into the gap between the rollers. Such variations may exert substantial pressure on the rollers and cause the framework which supports the rollers to deflect, resulting in changes in roller gap size, which in turn result in variations in the thickness of the sheet and thus the final product. At present it is not practical to directly measure the thickness of the sheet output by the rollers. This problem currently is handled by a sheerer apparatus operator who monitors such deflections and manually adjusts the position of one of the rollers. These manual adjustments typically are required about 20-30 times during a seven hour period. In addition, manual adjustment of the roller gap size is unsatisfactory in that this method yields products about 30% of which are down-graded by consumers as being too thick. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an apparatus and method for producing sheeted materials having a uniform thickness.
The dough sheet formed by the rotating rollers as described above is subjected to a cutting procedure in which individual portions of dough are cut from the sheet. Specifically, a rotating cutter typically is positioned so as to press against the surface of one of the rollers. As the dough sheet adheres to the roller, the exterior surface of the cutter, which is configured to cut-out the portions in a desired shape, engages the dough sheet and cuts such portions from the remainder thereof. A stripper wire assembly then separates the cut-out portions which are carried by a conveyor or run-out table to the next processing stage.
The length of the rollers which sheet the dough in the aforementioned apparatus may be around three feet, e.g., 39 inches, and thus produce a three foot wide dough sheet. However, some applications utilize longer rollers, e.g., 46 inches, which produce wider sheets of dough. In any event, the cutter used with such apparatus has a length corresponding to that of the rollers (as the exterior surface of the cutter presses against the dough sheet adhering to the roller). The considerable length of the cutter causes several problems.
In order to adequately cut the dough sheet carried by the one roller, the cutter must be pressed against the roller over the entire length thereof. Furthermore, the pressure exerted by the cutter against the roller must be uniform over its length to produce even and uniform product portions. The cutter has opposite ends which are journalled in bearings disposed outside the cutter portion which engages the roller. Force is applied against the bearing housings by air cylinders or springs to lift or press the cutter against the roller. However, because of the considerable length of the cutter, the forces applied to or adjacent the ends thereof cause bowing at the central portion thereof. More particularly, the bowing reduces pressure and cutting effectiveness at the center of the cutter.
In prior art apparatus, some cutters are crowned (formed with a special profile at the center) to compensate for the aforementioned bowing. However, the amount of crowning is determined by a trial and error process and does not always yield successful results. In addition, the cutter must be re-machined periodically to account for wear of the special profile or to permit its use for new applications. Further, the cost of the cutter is increased due to the special machining necessary to form the profile.
Another prior art solution to the problem of cutter bowing, particularly if the cutter length exceeds 30 inches, is to provide center supports that press the center of the cutter against the roller. This solution, however, is unacceptable in that the center supports require frequent maintenance and add to the complexity of the apparatus. In addition, such inboard center supports reduce the effective area for forming product, and thus, increase the amount of lace (i.e., recycled masa returned to the dough mass supplied to the roller gap). Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an improved cutter assembly for a sheeter apparatus.
The present invention provides an apparatus for forming a sheet of material from a supply of the material, which may be, e.g., dough, corn masa, etc. The apparatus includes a support with a pair of rotatable rollers mounted thereon to define a gap therebetween. A mass of the material is fed into the gap and the rollers form the material into a sheet, the sheet adhering to one of the two rollers. A rotating cutter is secured adjacent the one roller and is pressed thereagainst to cut out individual portions of the sheet.
In one aspect of the present invention, the cutter includes an elongated member having opposite ends and a central portion, the latter having an exterior surface which is pressed against the roller. The opposite ends are journalled in bearings against which a force is applied to press the central portion of the cutter against the roller. Each of the opposite ends are subjected to a bending moment which induces a camber in the cutter that provides a substantially uniform pressure across the interface of the cutter central portion and the roller surface. This arrangement prevents reduced cutting effectiveness at the center of the cutter. The bending moments preferably are produced by air cylinders disposed outward of the bearings, which cylinders apply an adjustable force opposite the force applied to the bearing housings.
In another aspect of the present invention, the apparatus includes first and second rotatable rollers for sheeting the material, wherein the relative position of the rollers is automatically adjustable in response to variations in the roller gap caused by fluctuations in the rheology of the dough mass fed therein. In particular, one of the rollers preferably is mounted in a fixed position on the apparatus support and the other of the rollers is mounted so as to be movable toward and away from the one roller. The movable roller is secured to a frame member that is pivotally mounted on the support in scissor-like fashion with the roller disposed at one end of the frame and a drive device disposed at the opposite end of the frame.
The fluctuations in roller gap size are sensed by one or more position indicators which detect movement of the roller caused by changes in the rheology of the dough mass. In response to the detected roller positions, a servo system continuously corrects the gap size via a drive device which adjusts the position of the one roller. The rollers are thus automatically aligned to within a very specific range, e.g., 0.0001 inch.
Other features, benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of an apparatus for forming a sheet of material having a uniform thickness and cutting individual portions of the material from the sheet according to the present invention;
FIG. 2A is a front elevation view of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 including one of the sheeting rollers and a cutter assembly;
FIG. 2B is a force diagram showing the forces applied to the cutter of the apparatus depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2A;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 modified and with portions broken away for clarity;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the upper portion of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the rear roller and adjustable frame of the apparatus shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective schematic view showing the mounting arrangement for the cutter in the apparatus shown in FIG. 5.
With reference to the FIGURES, an apparatus for forming a sheet of material having a uniform thickness and cutting individual portions of the material from the sheet is indicated generally by the reference numeral 10. The apparatus 10, referred to herein as a sheerer apparatus, may be used to sheet various materials, and although the apparatus is described below in preferred embodiments as sheeting dough products, e.g., corn-based masa, it will be appreciated that such description is for exemplary sake only.
The sheerer apparatus 10 includes a support 12 to which is secured a front frame member 14 that rotatably supports a front roller 16, and a rear frame member 18 that rotatably supports a rear roller 26. Front roller 16 is mounted on bearings 17 and rear roller 26 is mounted on bearings 27 to provide for smooth rotation. Front frame member 14 preferably is fixed to support 12 and, therefore, the position of front roller 16 is fixed with respect to support 12 as well. Rear frame member 18 includes a first upper end 20 and a second lower end 22 and is secured to support 12 so as to be adjustable with respect thereto. Specifically, frame member 18 is pivotally connected to support 12 at pivot point 24 and, together with frame member 14, forms a scissor-like mounting arrangement for rollers 16 and 26. The rear frame member 18 also is disposed in a support assembly 13 (which forms part of support 12).
Rear roller 26 is movable toward and away from front roller 16 to permit adjustment of the gap or nip 28 defined between said rollers. It will, of course, be recognized that it is possible to vary the configuration of the roller frame members from that shown in FIG. 1, while still achieving the adjustable relative mounting of the rollers which forms part of the present invention. By adjusting the size of the gap 28, the thickness of the sheet produced by the rotating rollers 16, 26 may be precisely controlled. A mass of dough is fed from the dough hopper 30 into the gap 28 where it is forced between the rotating rollers 16, 26 and sheeted to a desired thickness. The so-formed dough sheet then adheres to front roller 16 due to a differential speed between rollers 16 and 26. The front roller 16 is rotatably driven by a drive 32 and rear roller 26 is rotatably driven by a drive 34 as is known in the art. The dough sheet then is engaged by a cutter 100 as will be described below.
The rear frame member 18 is pivoted to support 12 as noted above. The lower end 22 of frame member 18 is engaged by a drive motor 36 via a gear system 38 so as to be movable in an adjustable fashion. More specifically, the position of rear roller 26 is adjusted relative front roller 16 by selectively driving the lower end 22 of frame 18, i.e., by moving end 22 to the left and right as indicated by arrow A in FIG. 1. Driving the end 22 of frame 18 in this manner causes the frame to pivot about connection 24 in scissor-like fashion, with rear roller 26 moving toward or away from front roller 16 to adjust the size of roller gap 28. It is apparent that rear roller 26 moves in a direction opposite to the direction in which the lower end 22 of frame 18 is moved.
FIGS. 3 and 5 show a sheeter apparatus as described above; however, the rear frame member 18 (FIG. 3) is modified and is driven at its middle portion as opposed to its lower end 22. It will be clear to persons skilled in the art that the rear frame member can be driven at various locations to effect the desired movement thereof.
The rear frame member 18 is mounted on anti-friction bearings to facilitate smooth and easy movement of the frame about pivot axis 24 and along support assembly 13. Thus, friction-free adjustment of the frame 18 and rear roller 26 is achieved. In addition, the length of rear frame 18, i.e., the length of the scissor arm, can be selected to maximize the mechanical advantage afforded by same, thereby reducing the amount of force that must be exerted on lower frame end 22 by drive device 36. Further, the scissor mounting assembly contains fewer moving parts and is therefore less complicated and costly that the sliding mechanisms used in prior art dough sheeting apparatus.
As discussed above, variations in the rheology of the dough mass can exert considerable pressure on the rollers and deflect the movable rear frame member 18, which results in the size of roller gap 28 fluctuating from the desired value. This produces product having an inconsistent and unacceptable thickness.
The present invention provides for automatic and continuous monitoring and adjustment of the size of roller gap 28 so as to ensure uniform and consistent dough sheet (and thus product) thickness. A sensor 60, preferably in the form of one or more position indicators, is disposed as shown in FIG. 4 and detects the position of rear roller 26 by sensing the relative position of the frame members 14 and 18. Sensor 60, which in a preferred embodiment is a linear gap indicator, feeds the detected positions of roller 26 to a microprocessor in the control unit of a servo system (not shown), which system compares the detected positions to previously stored values corresponding to the desired roller gap size. The servo system then controls the drive for rear frame 18 to move the rear roller 26 to the proper position, i.e., to the position at which the gap size resumes its desired value. Accordingly, the desired roller gap size, and thus the desired sheet thickness, are maintained without having to monitor or measure the thickness of the output dough sheet.
A suitable software program coordinates the functions of the sensor 60 and the servo motor drive-gear assembly 36, 38 for rear roller 26. In a preferred embodiment, the sampling time of the servo system is approximately 5 seconds, and the system is continuously active and responds to detected roll movements that are as small as 0.0001 inch. Moreover, the system permits adjustment of the rollers to within 0.0001 inch. The servo system preferably is connected to a safety switch on the apparatus and will automatically open the rollers 16, 26 when the safety is activated.
In a further aspect of the invention, the servo system may be used to accurately measure spreading forces created during sheeting of dough. This is done by developing a calibration curve for various servo motor rotation values corresponding to known forces applied to the rollers. The servo motor readings needed to correct roller deflection during a sheeting operation are then compared to the previously obtained values to determine the forces generated during the operation. This feature permits the invention to be used as an analytical tool with respect to the analysis of the forces developed during a sheeting operation.
The sheet of dough formed by the rollers adheres to front roller 16 due to the latter being rotated at a greater rate than rear roller 26. A cutter assembly 100 is positioned so as to abut against the surface of front roller 16 as seen in FIGS. 1 and 3. Cutter assembly 100 is shown more clearly in FIG. 2A (and FIG. 6) and includes an elongated cutter member 102 having a central portion 104 which is pressed against the surface of front roller 16 over its length. As seen in FIGS. 1 and 6, the cutter assembly is mounted on brackets, i.e., pivoted cradle arms, 116 which are secured to support 12 so as to permit adjustment of the cutter member 102 relative front roller 16. In addition, a brush assembly 42 is mounted on a brush support 44 secured to support 12, which brush 42 serves to clean the cutter during operation of the sheeter apparatus.
The exterior surface 108 of the central portion 104 of cutter member 102 is configured to cut out individual portions of the sheeted material from the sheet by pressing against the surface of front roller 16 (which acts as an anvil for the cutter). The particular configuration of the cutter surface 108 (FIG. 6) depends on the desired shape and/or pattern of the final product. A stripper wire assembly 80 is provided adjacent the front roller 16 to separate the cut-out portions as is known in the art.
The elongated cutter member 102 has opposite ends 106 a portion of which respectively is journalled in bearing housings 110 to provide for smooth rotation of member 102. As discussed above, a lift force is applied against bearing housings 110 in the direction toward front roller 16 to press the central portion 104 of cutter member 102 against roller 16. These forces preferably are applied in an adjustable manner by lift cylinders 112, which are in the form of adjustable air cylinders.
A preferred embodiment includes cradle arms 116 which are generally L-shaped and fixed to the apparatus with a pivot axis running parallel to the cutter member 102. One end of each cradle arm 116 engages an end 106 of cutter 102 as shown in FIG. 6. A cable 114 engages the opposite end of each cradle arm 116 and connects same to the output of the lift cylinders 112. The lift cylinders 112 may be activated to pull cables 114 in the direction of the arrows in FIG. 6, which causes cradle arms 116 to pivot and exert an upward force against the ends 106 of cutter member 102. In this fashion, the cutter member 102 may be adjustably pressed against the front roller 16.
In order to prevent bowing and ineffective cutting of the dough sheet at the area near the center of portion 104 of cutter member 102, the present invention provides two force-generating members 120. Members 120 exert a force on ends 106 in an opposite direction to that applied to cradle arms 116 by lift cylinders 112 which results in a bending moment being applied to the ends 106. As seen in FIGS. 2A and 2B, members 120 are disposed outward from the point at which the force from lift cylinders 112 is applied. This configuration results in a camber C being induced in the elongated cutter member 102 (FIG. 2B). The force f applied by force-generating members 120 typically will be relatively small compared with the force F applied by lift cylinders 112. This arrangement results in the central portion 104 of cutter member 102 assuming a cambered shape in the direction toward roller 16. In this manner, the elongated cutter member 102 exerts a uniform pressure against roller 16 over the entire interface therebetween.
The force-generating members 120, designated as trim cylinders, preferably are in the form of air cylinders the output of which is adjustable. By adjusting the forces exerted on cutter member 102 by the trim cylinders 120 and lift cylinders 112 (i.e., by adjusting the air pressure therein), the amount of camber induced in the cutter member 102 can be precisely controlled. This permits the pressure exerted by the cutter member 102 against roller 16 to be made uniform across the interface therebetween under many different circumstances and applications and, as such, results in consistently formed individual dough portions.
The benefits of the induced-camber cutter assembly include increased area for cutting product portions due to the absence of the inboard cutter supports found in prior art apparatus, an overall simpler and more lightweight cutter design, and reduced overall cutter assembly maintenance.
While the present invention and the embodiments presented herein have been set forth and described in detail for the purposes of making a full and complete disclosure of the subject matter thereof, the disclosure herein presented is not intended to be limiting in any way with respect to the scope of this invention as the same is set forth in the appended claims.

Government Printing Office has new strategies to keep presses rollingBreaking News
...The scent of ink and paper and the oils that lubricate the engines of one of Washington's last manufacturing facilities wafted across the plant floor. Aside from the whirring of the press, the room was quiet, another reflection of the fact that the legions of compositors, proofreaders, platemakers and press operators on three shifts who once filled these press rooms a block from Union Station have long since disappeared.
In their place are young Web developers and information technology specialists trying to reinvent one of the government's oldest, proudest institutions. And, for now at least, succeeding.
In an era when 97 percent of federal documents are now created electronically, people ask why the printing office still exists. Politicians are calling for smaller government, and some have sponsored legislation ordering that printed copies of congressional bills and resolutions cease. House Republicans tried last year to slash the agency's budget by more than 20 percent....

Genetic manipulation of human embryonic stem cells by lentiviral vectors.
One of the exciting frontiers of science is the potential to use human embryonic stem (hES) cells to provide relief to patients with terrible diseases like Parkinson's, spinal chord injury, diabetes, and a host of other congenital, developmental, and degenerative disorders. ES cells have two remarkable traits: 1) the ability to develop into mature cells that can function as neurons, muscles, bones, blood, heart tissue etc., and 2) a limitless self-renewal capacity, thus offering an inexhaustible source of precursor cells. In addition to being clinically important and relevant for cures of diseases, hES cells offer a wonderful opportunity to study molecular mechanisms of differentiation and self-renewal. To correct a genetic defect, one needs to introduce a functional gene into regenerated tissue of the patient. For example, therapeutic cloning from a diabetes patient lacking the insulin gene to regenerate the pancreas will require a functional gene for making insulin to be inserted in the patient. But how will one introduce a gene into a stem cell that divides to produce a large progeny? If the transduced gene is not integrated in the genome, the gene will be lost in the subsequent progeny. Thus, a delivery vehicle that will become part and parcel of the chromosome and transcribe the transgene in the progeny cells as well as in the self-renewal cells is essential. During the last decade, my laboratory has developed HIV based lentiviral vectors (LV) that have the ability to introduce genes in both dividing and nondividing cells. Furthermore, LV can integrate in the chromosome to provide sustained production of the transgene product. In preliminary experiments we can show that genes can be transferred to some hES cells. To be sure that this property is not unique to a few experimental hES cell lines, we need to test them in many different hES cell lines. Therefore it is essential that we have access to additional hES cell lines, most of which are not NIH approved, hence the experiments can be performed only in a special stem cell facility with funds provided by CIRM.
Recently a new technology referred to as RNA interference, for which the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded, has emerged which offers new ways to study the mechanisms involved in hES cell differentiation. It appears that small noncoding RNAs (micro RNA) play an important role in differentiation of a variety of cell types, including ES cells. We are planning to use a novel combination of strategies to identify such as micro RNAs, as they will play an important role in understanding the differentiation potential of hES cells.
Finally, in this proposal we will generate a number of tools which will be freely available to scientists working in the field of human stem cell biology.
Regenerative medicine is the next frontier of medicine. It not only has the potential to cure diseases like diabetes and Parkinson's, but can also have a significant impact on patients suffering from spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer's, and other neurological disorders. The potential of reducing the burden of incurable and hopeless physical afflictions is rewarding in itself. However, fruits of human stem cell research can create new biotech and instrumentation companies that will have a very positive effect on the economy of the state of California. The work we are proposing will provide some of the seminal tools to achieve success in regenerative medicine.

Tired of submitting her young-adult fiction to literary agents only to be rejected, Battle Ground's Ginille Forest decided to take matters into her own hands.
The Clark College student and her brother, Vancouver systems administrator Justin Hayden, collaborated on Read the Shorts, a website that aims to connect aspiring authors with an audience (http://www.readtheshorts.com).
"It's discouraging getting rejection letter after rejection letter," said Forest, 30. "You kind of want to give up. But just because you're not published doesn't mean you're not a good writer."
Forest and 28-year-old Hayden officially launched the site at the beginning of March, but the idea has been in the works for some time.
Several years ago, Forest took a fiction-writing class at Clark in which she would write short stories and share them with peers for feedback.
Because writing can be isolating, Forest said she wanted to create a virtual environment in which writers could come together and experience the cooperative, supportive environment she enjoyed in her class.
Payment for work
In addition to being a professional network and a creative outlet, Read the Shorts provides writers with an opportunity to make money from their work.
Writers post short stories to Read the Shorts, and people can read the first half of each story for free. Access to the rest costs $2, payable through Google Checkout. Of that $2, the author gets $1, and $1 goes to Forest and Hayden.
People must register to become members of Read the Shorts to peruse or post stories, but membership is free.
There is also no charge for writers to display material. Stories cannot have been previously published and must not exceed 15 pages or 5,000 words.
Content is limited to short stories for now, but Forest and Hayden say they hope to add novels soon, as well as a forum where writers can discuss their craft.
As of Wednesday, Read the Shorts had 57 members, many from the Vancouver-Portland area, as well as other parts of the United States. There is an international following as well. One member is from the United Kingdom, and two live in the Philippines.
Members have posted 22 short stories across a range of genres and purchased 13 stories.
Readers can leave comments for writers on their stories, but the number of purchases also can serve as an indicator of how well the writing resonates with online readers, Forest said.
"If you put a story online, and people like the first half and purchase the second half, it reaffirms your dream," said Forest, adding that she hopes to pursue a career in writing or editing.
A few of her own stories can be found on the site.
Forest and Hayden publicized Read the Shorts with fliers on bulletin boards at Clark and other local colleges and universities, as well as through Google AdWords and Craigslist.
Craigslist led Portland writer Alexander Smith to the site.
Smith, a 25-year-old writer and editor for the website http://www.thesurvivorsclub.org, posted three stories to Read the Shorts.
"I wanted to share my writing," he said. "It worked well for me as a way to get my writing out there and have more people see it."
A reader purchased the second half to one of Smith's stories, a piece of young-adult fiction titled "The Adventures of Captain Locke."
Though Smith is working on submitting his writing to various publications, Read the Shorts was an easy way to get started that didn't require cover letters and the other legwork involved with courting most publishing and media-industry outlets, he said.
"It's a quick way to get immediate feedback and see what people are enjoying, and potentially get a few dollars from it," Smith said.
Forest and Hayden said they hope that literary agents will eventually go to Read the Shorts to discover new authors.
"Instead of the writers having to find agents, this could be the start of agents finding writers," Forest said.

It is through the kindness and courtesy of Maj. Joseph Sailer, M. R. C., Chief of Medical Service at the Base Hospital, Camp Wheeler, Georgia, that this paper is presented. Methods of procedure, arrangement of the work and inspiration for a rather monotonous task were all drawn from him by the various ward surgeons who have treated mumps. It is due to him alone — and this cannot be too clearly stated — that a stupid and insignificant disease became interesting.
Patients with mumps have occupied almost half of the hospital for three months. An epidemic of such volume raises mumps to the dignity of a disease. Of approximately 18,000 men in the Thirty-First Division, there were 5,756 cases, an incidence of 32 per cent. Every third man in the division, in other words, has had mumps. Of 13,638 total admissions to the hospital to March, 1918, almost one half

OKC Thunder Q&A: Doc Rivers talks about Game 2 loss to Oklahoma City Thunder
Clippers coach Doc Rivers talked to the media after Game 2.
Q: Tough night for you guys when Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook play like that.
A: "Yeah, I thought they did exactly what Scotty Brooks said they would do, so give them credit. He said that they were going to make us feel them, and I thought they did that. I thought they were by far the more physical team. They started with the first play of the game, with (Thabo) Sefolosha getting behind us and bumped us off our spot and we lose balance. Westbrook, six offensive rebounds. They had a good offensive game, but we can win if they both have good offensive games. What we can't do is then give them that plus everything else, and that's what happened tonight. They were the tougher team tonight for sure."
Was the Thunder victory a carryover from the emotion of the Durant MVP announcement?
"No. I knew they were going to come with it, and they should. That's what they should do. I have no problem with that. They didn't do anything dirty or anything. They played hard and physical, but you've got to do it back. I didn't think we did it back. I thought weren't very physical tonight or mentally tough, either."
How difficult is it when Durant and Westbrook are so focused?
"It's hard, but you know, that's why their names are Westbrook and Durant. They're very good players. I still believe that's only 63 points (combined for the two). You can still win the game, and we've beaten them before when they've both had great games. I didn't like how they scored. It was too easy. I thought we had way too many mental defensive breakdowns. I wasted three timeouts in a row because we said we were going to switch twice, and both times Durant is laying it in. The playoffs are a single-possession game. Every single possession, you have to have great focus and you have to be locked in. Today we were not. I thought it was because of all the clutter. We were upset at the officials, we were upset at everything, instead of turning our anger toward the opponent and focus. Tonight we just didn't have it, but I've got to give them credit. I don't know if we didn't have it or they took it from us. I thought they were very good tonight. They were physical, they moved the ball, so give them a lot of credit."

Hi all.
Recently ended up with a flooded basement after heavy snowmelt and torrential rain. 2 inches of water in laundry room, carpets completely soaked through in rest of basement. I would like for this not to happen again. So my question is this:
Where did the water come from, under the basement door or up through the foundation?
I live in a raised rannch and the bottom of the basement door is located at the foot of the foundation. It opens up to an uncovered "bulkhead style" staircase with a gravel/dirt pit underneath. When i discovered the water, I found most of it to be in the area of this door, and the little pit outside the door was COMPLETELY flooded. My initial thought is that it got under the door.....but it was SO much water and spread out so fr in the course of 6 hours. I am now second guessing myself and wondering if in fact it came through floor. There are no cracks and the previous owner said he had NEVER had a problem in seven years...what do you think, door or floor?
If door, would covering the "bulkhead area" help?
- Forum >
- Basement & Foundation >
- Under door or up through floor?
We have a similar problem (posted it the other day). The door in our basement, that leads outside, leaks. Actually, there is a set of pre-cast stairs that were brought in and bolted to the foundation. The basement is all underground. Then they put Bilco doors on the stairs. We keep the doors closed. There is no drain at the bottom of the steps either, but that would not help our problem. We are in the north east (as you probably are), and it has rained several inches over the last couple of days. We can watch the water and we see how it comes in. It's not coming in down the stairs. The stairs are dry, so the Bilco doors are doing a good job. When the ground gets so saturated, water starts coming up underneath where the stairs join the foundation. It flows over the ledge into the basement. We spent most of the day using our dry vac (a LIFE savor!) I posted another question asking about this. I can't see why the drain tile around the foundation isn't carrying the water to the sump pump. You may have the same problem. It's a pain, isn't it? We can't finish our basement until this is resolved. Sorry I couldn't help. Maybe someone has some advice for us!

I need to know how to stream videos files (MKV, AVI etc.).
This is my setup:
NAS: Synology DiskStation 112j with DSM 4.2 <-- this is where my videos are stored
AV-Receiver: Denon AVR 2313
HD Projector
Right now and since my AV receiver (and many others) cannot stream videos I just connect my laptop to my AV receiver (via HDMI) and just open the movie via VLC player on my laptop.
What I want to achieve is: Stream videos to my projector over AVR conviently without a laptop.
How can I do that? Do I need another device? Which one?
