This is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/054,206, filed on Feb. 9, 2005, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/944,266, filed on Aug. 31, 2001, now abandoned, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/160,900, filed on Sep. 25, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,319,075, which claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/082,091, filed Apr. 17, 1998, the contents of all of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention relates to electrical connectors and more particularly to electronic power connectors especially useful in circuit board or backplane interconnection systems.
Designers of electronic circuits generally are concerned with two basic circuit portions, the logic or signal portion and the power portion. In designing logic circuits, the designer usually does not have to take into account any changes in electrical properties, such as resistance of circuit components, that are brought about by changes in conditions, such as temperature, because current flows in logic circuits are usually relatively low. However, power circuits can undergo changes in electrical properties because of the relatively high current flows, for example, on the order of 30 amps or more in certain electronic equipment. Consequently, connectors designed for use in power circuits must be capable of dissipating heat (generated primarily as a result of the Joule effect) so that changes in circuit characteristics as a result of changing current flow are minimized. Conventional plug contacts in circuit board electrical power connectors are generally of rectangular (blade-like) or circular (pin-like) cross-section. These are so-called "singular-mass" designs. In these conventional singular-mass blade and pin configurations, the opposing receptacle contacts comprise a pair of inwardly urged cantilever beams and the mating blade or pin is located between the pair of beams. Such arrangements are difficult to reduce in size without adversely effecting heat dissipation capabilities. They also provide only minimal flexibility to change contact normal forces by adjustment of contact geometry. There is a need for a small contact which efficiently dissipates heat and which has readily modifiable contact normal forces.
In the parent application for the present application, namely U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/160/900, electronic power connectors are described for use in power circuits where the connectors provide terminations associated with power that is internal to the system. In some power circuit configurations an external power supply, usually an external AC power cable, may also be incorporated into the overall environment. The external AC power supply connections are known to be stand-alone cable connections that are terminated directly onto the board. This poses known drawbacks due to the fact that in those circumstances where the AC power supply is on the order of 30 amps or more an undesirable level of heat buildup on the traces of the power board can occur. Also, where stand-alone cable connections are used to adapt AC power by direct wire termination onto the power distribution boards there is an additional level of complexity in the connective configurations on the board. Thus, there is a need for an electronic power connector that incorporates into a single housing those contacts for establishing connections for the internal system power and contacts for mating with an external power cable.
The present invention relates to electrical connectors that comprise a receptacle having an insulative housing and at least one conductive receptacle contact comprising a pair of spaced walls forming a plug contact receiving space. A mating plug comprises an insulative housing and at least one conductive contact having a pair of spaced walls which form a projection engageable in the plug receiving space of the receptacle contact. The contacts employ a "dual mass" principle that provides a greater surface area available for heat dissipation, principally by convection, as compared with "single-mass" contacts. This arrangement provides an airflow path through spaced portions of the contacts of the plug and receptacle connectors when mated.
Also, an electrical power connector is described herein that incorporates contacts for establishing AC power cable connections into a single housing along with the power connector contacts that are otherwise described herein. Incorporation of AC power cable connections directly into the insulative housing that forms the internal power connector eliminates the need for any transitional type, stand-alone AC power supply connection system such as that described above. The connector housing incorporating the AC power connection capability can accommodate different forms of AC power supply termination contacts, such as spade-type contacts for receiving discrete fast-on terminals or contacts described herein for connection to bus bars.
The present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

The receptacle contacts 48 are retained in housing 129 by an interference fit in essentially the same manner as previously described with respect to plug contacts 10. Retaining the contacts in this fashion allows substantial portions of the walls 12, 14 of the plug contact and walls 58, 60 of the receptacle contact to be spaced from surrounding parts of the respective housings 76 and 129. This leaves a substantial proportion of the surface area of both contacts (including the plug contacts), exposed to air, thereby enhancing heat dissipation capabilities, principally through convection. Such enhanced heat dissipation capabilities are desirable for power contacts.

The front bridging element 218 includes a rearwardly extending retention arm 228 that is cantilevered at its proximal end from the bridging element. Arm 228 includes a locating surface 230 at its distal end.
Terminals, such as through-hole pins 226, extend from the bottom edge of each wall 214, 216. The terminals 226 can be solder-to-board pins (as shown) or can comprise press fit or other types of terminals.
As can be seen from
Referring to
The downwardly extending tang 24 is preferably received in a slot 225 in the housing, the width of the slot being substantially the same as the thickness of the tang 224. By capturing the tang 224 in the slot 225, deformation of the wall section, as might occur when the cantilever arms 211 of the contact section are urged toward each other, is limited to the portion of the walls 212, 216 disposed forwardly of the tangs 224. This enhances control of the contact normal forces generated by deflection of the cantilever arms 211.

As illustrated in
The embodiment of
The mating plug connector 360 includes a molded polymeric body 361 that receives a pair of plug contacts, such as upper plug contact 362 and the lower plug contact 376. These plug contacts are configured generally in the manner previously described, namely, being formed of a pair of spaced wall sections 364 and 368 respectively joined by bridging elements and carrying opposed contact beams 366 and 380 to engage the spaced receptacle plates 346. The plug contact 362 includes a single, relatively long, or several, relatively short, bridging elements 365 that join two opposed plates 364. The bottom edge 372 of each of the plates 364 includes retention structure, such as an interference bump 374. The plug contact 362 is retained in its cavity within housing 361 by an interference fit between the bridging elements 365 and the interference bump 374, although it is contemplated that other retention mechanisms could be utilized. Similarly, lower plug contacts 376 comprise a pair of coplanar wall or panel members 378 joined by one or more bridging elements 382. The lower edge 384 of each wall 378 includes an interference bump 386, that functions to create an interference fit, as previously described. Suitable terminals 368 and 380 extend from each of the panels 364 and 368, beyond the mounting interface 363 of the housing 361, for associating each of the contacts 362 and 376 with electrical tracks on the printed circuit board on which the plug 360 is to be mounted.
The previously described receptacle and plug contacts may be plated or otherwise coated with corrosion resistant materials. Also, the plug contact beams may be bowed slightly in the transverse direction to enhance engagement with the contact receiving surfaces of the receptacle contacts.
The "dual-mass" construction of both receptacle and blade contacts, employing opposing, relatively thin walls, allows for greater heat dissipation as compared with prior "singular-mass" designs. The enhanced heat dissipation properties result from the contacts having greater surface area available for convection heat flow, especially through the center of the mated contacts. Because the plug contacts have an open configuration, heat loss by convection can occur from interior surfaces by passage of air in the gap between these surfaces.
The contacts also contain outwardly directed, mutually opposing receptacle beams and dual, peripherally located, mating blades, in a configuration which can allow for flexibility in modifying contact normal forces by adjustment the contact connector geometry. This can be accomplished by modifying the bridging elements to change bend radius, angle, or separation of the walls of the contacts. Such modifications cannot be accomplished with conventional singular-mass beam/blade configurations wherein the opposing receptacle contacts are inwardly directed, and the mating blade is located in the center of said beams.
Such dual, opposing, planar contact construction also allows for easier inclusion of additional printed circuit board attachment terminals with more separation between terminals, compared to an equivalent "singular-mass" bulk designs. The use of relatively larger plates in the plug and receptacle contacts gives this opportunity for providing a plurality of circuit board terminals on each contact part. These lessens constriction of current flow to the printed circuit board, thereby lowering resistance and lessening heat generation.
The use of a compliant plug mating section allows the receptacle contacts to be placed in a protected position within the molded polymeric housing for safety purposes. This feature is of further benefit because it allows minimization of amount of polymeric material used in making the housing. This lowers material costs and enhances heat dissipation. Also, by retaining the contacts in the housing in the manner suggested, thick wall structures can be avoided and thin, fin like structures can be utilized, all of which enhances heat dissipation from the connectors. Additionally, first-make, last break functionality can be incorporated easily into disclosed connector system by modifying the length of the mating portion of the plug contacts or by changing the length of the plug-receiving portion of the receptacle contacts.
The arch connection structure between opposing rectangular contact sections also allows for attachment of retention means, such as a resilient arm structure as shown in one of the current embodiments, in a manner that does not limit current flow or hinder contact heat dissipation capability.
It will also be appreciated that the plug and receptacle contacts may be manufactured from closely similar or identical blanks thereby minimizing tooling requirements. Further, the plug or receptacle connectors can easily be associated with cables, by means of paddle boards.
Any of the power connectors previously described herein can be modified to accommodate connections for an external AC power supply. For example, the insulative housing of the receptacle connector shown in
The receptacle connector 400 includes an insulative housing 402 with a front side 404 including an array of contact openings, such as openings 406 and 408. Front side 404 also includes a signal receptacle in the form of signal pin receiving area 410 with signal pin receiving apertures. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the portion of the receptacle connector 400 that includes the contact openings 406 and 408 and the signal pin receiving area 410 is similar in many respects to the connectors described previously. A receptacle contact, such as any one of those described previously, is disposed and retained within a corresponding opening of the receptacle housing. The connector is shown in
Included in the front side 404 of the housing 402 are three exemplary AC power contact openings 412. Disposed and retained within each of the AC power contact openings 412 is a corresponding AC power spade terminal 414. The AC power contact openings are sized and configured to receive the AC spade terminals 414 with an interference fit and in a preferred embodiment the terminals are retained in the housing in a manner described below.
The cable plug projection 428 of each AC power spade terminal according to the invention provides for engagement with a corresponding quick connect socket on the end of a corresponding AC power cable wire lead. These quick connect sockets are known in the art. The cantilevered beams 430 and 432 are closely spaced together, particularly at their respective proximal and distal ends, in a state prior to engagement with the quick connect socket and each of the cantilevered beams has a slight arc near the mid-point of the beam, as shown in
The cable plug projection 428 of each of the AC power spade terminals 414 extends a significant distance beyond the rear face 436 of the connector housing 402 so that the cable plug projection of each spade terminal can be mated with a corresponding quick connect socket of an AC power cable wire. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that significant current levels will be maintained through the AC power spade terminals. In order to protect the spade terminal and quick connect socket connection from coming into inadvertent contact with a user that may be installing other components into the system, a protective shroud 438 may be joined to the connector housing to cover the spade terminals connections, as shown in
The connectors described thus far have been illustrated with three AC power spade terminals incorporated into the connector housing for receiving an external AC power supply connection. The present invention is not intended to be limited in this manner and the connector could be designed to accommodate six of more spade terminals for receiving any corresponding number of AC power supply connections. Also, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the particular design of the AC power spade terminals described herein, nor the configuration of the spade terminals inside the connector housing. Furthermore, direct incorporation of external AC power supply connections into connectors of the type otherwise described herein can be achieved for a wide variety of connector housings, such as the right angle power connectors and the vertical power connectors described herein.
A retention mechanism for retaining the AC power spade terminal 416 within the connector housing 402 is shown in FIGS. 30 and 32-33. This form of retention mechanism differs from that shown for the contacts illustrated in
Another configuration of a power connector incorporating connections for an external AC power supply is shown in
In some applications, power is supplied to the electronics assembly via conventional bus bars.
The bus bar terminal contacts described herein can be used in any connector for engagement of bus bars and are not intended to be limited for use in the connector housing configuration illustrated herein. For example, any of the receptacle connectors described herein can be modified to accommodate incorporation of bus bar terminal contacts for mating the power connectors herein with bus bars.
While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the recitation of the appended claims.

I think this is probably safe. When I downloaded it, my torrent client said it was infected, but I ran every individual file through a good virus scanner and it came back clean. I've opened it and not noticed any problems so far. Video and audio are about what you'd expect for a movie this old. Just wish it had subtitles!
audio: 1video: 1
I downloaded this thinking it was a movie. I have no idea what it is, but my comp. says it is a virus. watch out!!

Culpepper May 2d 1864
The train that takes this letter will be the last going to Washington. This then is the last letter you can receive from me until the Army strikes some new base. The telegraph will be working for a few days however so that you will hear through the papers what the Army is doing.
Before you receive this I will be away from Culpepper and the Army will be in motion. I know the greatest anxiety is now felt in the North for the sucsess of this move, and that the anxiety will increase when it is once known that the Army is in motion. I feel well myself. Do not know that this is any criterion to judge results because I have never felt otherwise. I believe it has never been my misfortune to be placed where I lost my presence of mind, unless indeed it has been when thrown in strange company, particularly of ladies. Under such circumstances I know I must appear like a fool.
I received a letter from Buck this evening. It was very well written. He says he can speak German a little.
All your letters reach me the second day after they are written. If I do not get one to-morrow I shall not expect to hear from you for several weeks. All the letters you write however send to me directed to Washington and they will come to me by first opportunity.
Love and Kisses for you and Jess.

When you consider the capabilities of the current generation of digital audio sequencers, it's hard not to be awed. An example of a feature that really impresses me is the software mixing board in Propellerhead's brand-new Record application (reviewed on page 44 of this issue). It's an SSL emulation that, to me, comes closer than any other program to date in capturing the vibe of working on a large-format mixer.
Another one of Record's stand-out capabilities is its time-stretching feature, which allows you to change tempo on your entire mix by large amounts, in real time, without any noticeable artifacts.
But it's not just Record. The current crop of DAWs includes such stellar releases as Digidesign Pro Tools 8, Steinberg Cubase 5, Ableton Live 8, Sony Acid Pro 7 and Apple Logic Pro 9. Recently, MOTU Digital Performer 7, Image Line FL Studio 9 and Cakewalk SONAR 8.5 were introduced, all promising substantial additions to their respective feature sets. Although no program will offer everything you want — and none are without drawbacks — they all give you unprecedented production capabilities. Your home-recording counterpart from 10 years ago would be incredibly envious of the tools you have available today. Your peer from 20 years ago, toiling away on a 4-track cassette deck, would be totally blown away.
Between amp models, built-in synths and samplers, pitch correction, beat making, time stretching, incredible mix automation, integration of outboard processors and instruments, pinpoint editing, vintage-processor emulations, high-quality notation editing and lots more, we are awash in possibilities. Perhaps the only downside to having so many options at your fingertips is trying to keep your workflow simplified.
Of course, having access to these amazing programs doesn't necessarily translate to making good music. The old, "garbage in, garbage out" cliché applies, as it always does and always will. You've still got to supply the songwriting, musicianship and engineering skills if you want to make good music. Still, it's hard not to feel like a kid in a candy store when you peruse the features of the new generation of DAWs.
Something else that's new is The Robair Report, which you can find in the blog section of emusician .com. Written by none other than former EM editor Gino Robair, it will regularly present his take on a range of topics relating to personal-studio recording, synthesizers and more. It's sure to be entertaining and at times controversial. I worked with Gino for many years, and I can tell you that he's very knowledgeable about music technology and unafraid to speak his mind, so you'll definitely want to check this one out.

2Get into a proper stance. your feet in an L shape spread apart and make sure your stance is firm. When your opponent throws a Punch get your hands up and move forward to the side. as you move- your right hand should push back your attackers chin and bend him back
3Swap your hands so your left hand is at the chin and with your right hand- grab hold of the arm closest so he does not hit out- MAKE SURE you are bending him off balance. Then turn your hips and use the same leg as the hand which is holding back the chin and reap it so that he lands on the floor.

Ask a Question
- Never use it on friends without supporting them as they fall
- This is to be used in a self defense situation- if you have the option of running away- RUN.
- Practice this technique
- Move out of the way of the punch using your feet and your whole body- do not do a matrix.
- Join a martial arts club
- Have fun- and try not to put yourself in a situation where this has to be used.
- Keep your guard up and strengthen your stance so you cannot be pushed off balance- slightly bend your knee.
- make sure your attacker aims for your nose with his punch and nowhere else- if you move into his line of attack you may get hurt.
- when he does aim for your nose you have to move- do not try and stop the punch

SAB TV's popular show Chidiya Ghar has always made you laugh by
it's interesting characters. It has the audience glued to the show. Something interesting will be seen in the upcoming episode as Filmistaan film's star cast will appear on their sets.
As per our source, "According to the sequence Karan (Sharib )and Arjun (Innamulhaq) are roaming all over the country to project old movies at different places and their project's name is Touring Talkies. So in this process they reach Banaras. There they meet Babuji (Rajendra Gupta ) and he invites them to Chidiya Ghar thus they stay in Chidiya Ghar."
Our source further adds, "Now in Chidiya Ghar everyone gets influenced by Karan and Arjun's theater. So the members will dress up like the actors of the golden era. Ghotak (Paresh Ganatra) becomes Coolie, Gomukh (Sumit Arora) is dressed as Shammi Kapoor, Kapi is dressed as Shah Rukh Khan of DDLJ, Nagin is dressed as Basanti , Mayuri becomes Mumtaz."
"In this process all
characters of Chidiya Ghar becomes filmy and they all get brain washed. The
situation becomes so serious that Ghotak and Gomukh think of resigning their
jobs and join Film industry. Finally Karan
and Arjun will reveal their identity and
tell everyone that this was done for fun and acting is not a easy task," concludes our source.
We called up Debina Bonnerjee Choudhary who plays Mayuri in the show to know about the track and she says, "I have become Mumtaz and I am quite excited about my character. Everyone is enjoying this shooting sequence, both stars Sharif and Innamulhaq are very talented and hilarious. They are improvising their character and dialogues themselves. Everyone is enjoying with them, they are very supportive and very co operative."

HTG Peer Groups Blog
The HTG peer group experience is a unique forum for technology industry resellers who are serious about implementing a model for success in their own businesses through sharing and collaboration of best practices.
Lessons From Peers II
Earlier this week the HTS management team took a field trip to cold and even a little snowy Minnesota to visit Marco in St Cloud. Our mission was to spend time looking under the hood at a company that is extremely successful and has experienced many of the challenges we face on our path to growth. Having been members together in HTG2 for years, we were welcomed with open arms and had an amazing experience learning and observing the team in action.
We were particularly interested in understanding centralization of roles and functions - particularly around dispatch, helpdesk and managed services. We were able to spend time with the management team and get the honest and frank realities of making that transition. At the same time that we were interested in centralizing things to improve efficiencies - we also were focused on understanding effective ways to manage remote offices. Seems like contradiction doesn't it. But in realilty - both are real challenges we face and needed the perspective, experience and ideas from an organization who had been there and done that. We found them in Marco.
We talked sales and sales management, creation of a management structure that will scale, hiring and HR, process and discipline in execution. The topics were varied and our questions flowed pretty much non-stop for the 24 hours we were there. The team at Marco graciously shared from their experience. They gave us samples and policies and documents to speed our ability to make changes. They were the perfect example of being Go-Givers in action.
Of course the hard work still lies ahead. We have dozens of ideas of things we need to consider and change. But we can't do them all at once, and so now we must prioritize what comes first. Then we need to lay out the plan for how and who will drive those changes. Of course without a timeline and accountability - nothing happens - certainly not quickly. The HTG matra of "vision without execution is hallucination" will be the outcome. We have to be focused and disciplined.
The power of peers shone brightly as we finished our time there. No secrets - full transparency. Our company will be changed forever as a result of the sharing - at least if we execute well it will. We are blessed and grateful for peer partners like Marco. More of us need to take advantage of these types of visits - everyone wins when we spend time together sharing. Of course the relationships that have been formed will open doors for ongoing sharing over the coming months and years. The power of peers continues - we just need to plant the seeds and put it in motion!

Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. Elizabeth Etters from Canada, married to Late Engr Brown Etters {PhD} who worked with MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANY EXXON AS A DRILLING RIG SUPPLIER in Kuwait for 19 years before he died on the 22th August 2008. We were married for twenty four years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death, he deposited the sum of USD 2,142,728.00 Dollars with a bank In England and this fund is presently with the bank awaiting my disbursement as beneficiary and next of kin to the funds. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church, organization or good person that will utilize this money in good faith.
l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money. I kept this deposit secret till date; this is why I am taking this decision. I don't think i will need any telephone communication in this regard because of the confidentiality of this transfer. Upon your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank. I will also issue a letter of authorization to the bank that will prove you the present beneficiary of this money. Reply to my very confidential email address below {firstname.lastname@example.com}
Await your responds and God bless you.

Report slams state institution for neglect, abuse, weak oversight
Story byRyan Gabrielson
California's largest institution for the developmentally disabled risks losing millions of dollars in federal funding because of poor medical care and widespread failures to prevent abuse and thoroughly investigate when patients are harmed, state officials said in a confidential report.
The Department of Public Health inspection report presented a damning indictment of the Sonoma Developmental Center, which houses more than 500 people with cerebral palsy and other intellectual disabilities. Normally such reports are kept from the public, but California Watch obtained a copy of the 495-page document this week.
"Individuals have been abused, neglected, and otherwise mistreated and the facility has not taken steps to protect individuals and prevent reoccurrence," the report said. "Individuals were subjected to the use of drugs or restraints without justification. Individual freedoms have been denied or restricted without justification."
According to the report, the board-and-care institution must immediately upgrade patient care and abuse investigations to keep its federal certification. Without federal approval, the Sonoma center would lose reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs – crippling its budget and placing an even greater burden on the state.
For the Sonoma center, the penalty would cut off reimbursements that cover about half of its $160 million annual budget. Finance records show that the Medi-Cal program pays more than $6 million a month for patient care at the Sonoma center.
State regulators repeatedly faulted the in-house police force, the Office of Protective Services, for inadequate investigations.
"The facility failed to ensure evidence that all alleged violations and injuries of unknown origin were thoroughly investigated," the report said. The investigations "lacked significant and/or pertinent information to minimize recurrence."
"It leads one to believe that, in certain circumstances, it's a lawless environment," state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, said of the inspection report.
In a series of stories this year, California Watch has reported that detectives and patrol officers at the institutions routinely fail to conduct basic police work, even when patients die under mysterious circumstances. In case after case, detectives and officers have delayed interviews with witnesses or suspects – if they have conducted interviews at all.
The force has also waited too long to collect evidence or secure crime scenes and has been accused of going easy on co-workers who care for the disabled.
The state Department of Developmental Services operates five centers that house nearly 1,700 patients with cerebral palsy and other intellectual disabilities in Sonoma, Tulare, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties. California is budgeted to spend about $314,000 this year per developmental center patient.
Terri Delgadillo, director of the Department of Developmental Services, said the department "recognizes the action necessary to ensure the health and safety of residents at the Sonoma Developmental Center."
"Several key changes have already been made but more must be done," Delgadillo said in a statement. "Both the executive director and the clinical director have been replaced. Several other employees have been terminated or disciplined and investigations continue which could result in additional actions."
The report includes the Sonoma center's plans to correct its violations, which include hiring additional caregivers and retraining employees.
Regulators have not decertified a center for more than a decade. The state Department of Public Health, which licenses and regulates the institutions, decertified the Agnews Developmental Center in San Jose for patient neglect in 1999. Agnews closed two years ago.
In September, someone assaulted a dozen patients with a stun gun, an incident first reported by California Watch last month. The victims suffered severe burns on their backs, buttocks, arms and legs.
The Office of Protective Services received a tip that a caregiver named Archie Millora had abused patients during his shifts. Officers found a Taser in Millora's car, along with a loaded handgun, but did not make an arrest in the assaults.

Healthy air and clean water are essential to our well-being and quality of life in the Upstate and should be accessible to all.
Web of Water: Reflections of Life Along the Saluda and Reedy Rivers is an extension of the dedicated work of Upstate Forever on the Saluda-Reedy watershed and the culmination of a partnership with four South Carolina photographers, an Upstate nature writer, and Hub City Press. A collection of essays by John Lane takes the reader on a journey through the Saluda-Reedy watershed, a trip that unfolds through the fine-art photography captured by photographers Tom Blagden, Clay Bolt, jon holloway, and Ben Geer Keys.
Situated in one of the fastest-growing regions of the Southeast, the Saluda-Reedy watershed reaches ten counties from the Blue Ridge Escarpment along the North Carolina-South Carolina border to Buzzard's Roost dam on the Saluda River and Lake Greenwood. In fact, all of the land that drains to Lake Greenwood, including the Saluda and Reedy Rivers, Rabon Creek, and all of their tributaries—nearly 1,400 miles of streams and creeks—form the Saluda-Reedy watershed. Nearly 400,000 people live, work, and recreate here in an area encompassing more than 1,500 square miles—and for good reason! Full of natural beauty and rich in biological and historical significance, the Saluda and Reedy Rivers and the spectacular 11,400-acre Lake Greenwood are sources of drinking water, tourism, industry, and cultural significance for the Upstate and for much of the state.
Consisting of images collected entirely in the Saluda-Reedy watershed and printed here in South Carolina, this book illustrates the single element that connects our natural resources to our culture, heritage, and quality of life—water! One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of this book will directly benefit the continued work of Upstate Forever on the Saluda-Reedy watershed.
Upstate Forever is proud to announce that Web of Water has been nationally recognized by the Printing Industries of America with a 2015 Premier Print Awards Certificate of Merit in Art Books. It also won the 2014 "Best of Category" award in Hardcover books from the Printing Industry of the Carolinas.

Clay Bolt
Clay is a natural history and conservation photographer specializing in macro and close-up photography of Southern Appalachian biodiversity with a focus on invertebrates, reptiles, and amphibians. His images and projects are regularly featured by organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and National Geographic.

Harbaugh is absolutely correct and IMO, he didn't go far enough (likely to sidestep further controversy). They cheated, pure and simple. And any discussion about their championships should include ALL of the factors that led to it. They won three Super Bowls by three points each time, so Bruschi can miss me with the "we were just that good" crap. It seems like common sense to me that if taping other teams practices and defensive signals provided no benefit, they wouldn't have bothered to do it in the first place.
Goodell and the Pats must think everyone else is an idiot to believe otherwise.

"While we found this incident shocking and disturbing, we would like to clear up the confusion and reassure our visitors that visitor safety is of the utmost importance to us," continued Taplin.

Good Points
General Comments
I would never buy a Renault again. I have had nothing but trouble with this car, in fact during the year that I have owned it, the garage has probably had it more than me. The pistons went on it which cost 1200 to replace and now the turbo has gone and the whole engine now has to be replaced with a recon which is going to cost 1500. I will be glad to see the back of it.

Domestic dispute leads to mud, manure slingingStaff Report | December 12,2012WEST HAVEN — A romantic dispute between two women on a dairy farm on Route 22A left one woman's minivan full of mud and manure and the other charged with a pair of misdemeanor criminal offenses, according to Vermont State Police.
State Police were called to a barn at 2474 Route 22A Tuesday afternoon for a reported fight.
At the farm, Jessica Drake told police she was shoved head-first into a pipe by Laura Richards, 39, and later left the barn to find the seats, dashboard and other interiors of her minivan filled with mud and manure.
Drake said Richards accused her of having an affair with her husband during the confrontation which other workers at the farm say they witnessed, according to a police affidavit.
Richards was arrested and charged with simple assault and unlawful mischief. She pleaded innocent to those charges on Wednesday and was released on court-ordered conditions.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

It's been fun while it's lasted, but the monstrous creature that washed up in Montauk, Long Island may have been nothing more than a prop from an independent movie about carnies, and a viral marketing scheme just as everyone initially suspected. There are enough untied loose ends in the hoax storyline to leave open the possibility that the hoax is itself a hoax, meaning the story has now entered a confusing phase where one must carefully sift the professed deceptions from the real deceptions and hard facts from intentional distortions. But one can try. Here's how a hoax would have gone down, according to a theory propagated on a few websites (linked below) over the past few days:
The producer of the film, Darren Goldberg (pictured above), and/or his associates would have left two distinct props from his movie on beaches near Montauk. Some honest people came across these props and were fooled into thinking they were corpses. The first to surface was, as has been reported, photographed by the sister of a friend of publicist Alanna Nevitski, who forwarded the picture to Jezebel, which forwarded the picture to Gawker, which published it to mass hysteria.
The original supplier of the photo, Nevitski, told New York that Goldberg and the other women on Plum TV were "full of shit" because Nevitski's friend, still anonymous, took the original picture. If the monster was a hoax, Goldberg would have seen the interview as a golden opportunity to inflate the hoax further by appearing on TV, but needed to lie about taking that specific picture in order to get in front of the camers. Nevitski's friend was refusing interviews. When she went on, Goldberg suddenly had a new, alternate picture of the monster, indicating she had her own, original photos.
Blogger Nicky Papers also thought the women were lying, and wrote on Montauk-Monster.com about their nervous ticks, like giggling and breaking eye contact. He also noticed that Goldberg talked first and her friends followed her lead.
The blogger was then contacted by a source who claimed Rachel Goldberg was related to Darren Goldberg. The source said Goldberg was making Splinterheads and that the monster will appear in the movie. This was the first time the movie was tied to the monster.
Arguments in favor of the hoax theory:
- The body is missing, supposedly "stolen," a fishy story. Who steals a bag of bones and goo?
- There has been no examination by scientists, as promised.
- It's the simplest explanation. Occam's razor.
- The movie people are claiming credit on their website and blog.
- Goldberg and the other women were acting kind of funny on Plum TV.
Arguments against Splinterhead creating the monster:
- Splinterhead is about a carnival. Why would there be monsters is such a movie? Further, it has been described repeatedly not as a horror or paranormal movie but as a comedy. Falsely claiming credit for creating the Montauk Monster would fit better with a comedy than actually having such an ugly creature in the movie, right?
- The moviemakers never come out and say on their website or blog that they actually made the monster. They only imply it. Perhaps they are having a bit of fun.
- There is no proof that Darren and Rachel Goldberg are related, only a statement on Darren Goldberg's blog, which could be a joke.
- Papers is trying to sell montauk-monster.com. Maybe this is all a big scam to drive traffic to the site, somehow!
- How has the story stayed under the radar all week? Montauk-monster.com had this days ago, why did it take so long for anyone to notice? And was Gotham News really the first news publication to cover the story, beating the TV people, blogs (save for Montauk-monster.com) and at least one newspaper on the case? How?
- How could so many people have been fooled by a movie prop? Wouldn't it have looked suspiciously plasticky or something?
Either way, a movie has managed to attach itself, cheaply, to a fairly large media phenomenon. One way or another, it's guerilla marketing. And we all kind of new that's how it would end up, didn't we?

Mrs. Hường is the lead borrower of the group. She is married and has two children. Her 21-year-old son is studying to become an electrician at Hà Nội University, and her 18-year-old daughter is in the 12th grade. As with her previous three loans, all of which have been repaid on time and in full, Mrs. Hường will use her share of the loan to buy and raise approximately 200 small animals consisting of pigs, chickens and ducks. Mrs. Hừờng will use her profits from the loan to pay school and university fees and to provide board and lodging for her son at Hanoi University.
The loan will be split equally between all five borrowers. The other borrowers in the group will use their share of the loan for similar purposes:
Mrs. Thỏa, a widow, is borrowing 2,442,600 Vietnamese Dong ($143) to buy oranges, apples, bananas and other fruit that she will resell in her village and in Thanh Hoa City (a six-mile bicycle ride from her home).
Mrs. Tươi will use her share of the loan to purchase shrimp and cuttlefish that she'll resell in the market. Cuttlefish is a very popular dish in Vietnamese cuisine.
Mrs. T.nh, a widow, will use her share of the proceeds to buy chickens, ducks and fertilizer.
With her share of the proceeds, Mrs. Quán will buy and raise chickens and pigs for resale.
Additional Information
About Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability (Thanh Hoa MFI)Thanh Hoa MFI works to provide credit to women and their families in the central Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa, one of the poorest regions of the country. The institution's target clients are poor and low-income women who have the ability to work but lack the capital. Accordingly, Thanh Hoa MFI prioritizes single mothers, low-income women with children who have dropped out of primary school, and Viet Nam's poorest women who cannot access any formal financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Oklahoma football: Receiver Kenny Stills on questions from NFL teams, draft preparations
NORMAN — Kenny Stills wowed scouts at last month's NFL Scouting Combine with his 4.38 effort in the 40-yard dash.
At Oklahoma's Pro Day last week, Stills caught passes for quarterback Landry Jones.
"I feel like a lot of people, including myself, have seen me drop balls here and there," Stills said when asked what he wanted to show scouts. "Just to show that I can catch everything and that my routes are pretty crisp and that I was fast and explosive off the ball."
Stills caught 82 passes for 959 yards and 11 touchdowns last season as a junior. He chose to skip his senior season for entrance in the 2013 NFL Draft.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., currently ranks Stills as the 13th-best receiver prospect available.
Stills spoke with reporters after his Pro Day performance about several topics, including his future and his answers to tough questions from NFL executives regarding his character.
You were out at OU's spring practice coaching guys up Tuesday. Have you enjoyed this process so far?
"I'm definitely enjoying it. I miss the guys a lot. A lot. I'm texting these guys 24/7. I was back at practice trying to help them, and I felt like I should have been in pads with them."
What's draft night going to be like for you?
"Talking with my parents about draft night, we're just going to hang out. I'd like to just be chilling and playing video games to get my mind off of it, so anything to keep me away from staring at the TV."
What were the main things teams wanted to talk to you about at the combine?
"Most of the stuff was character stuff, if I'm a good guy. If I really care about football or if I'm more interested in Twitter or actually playing football and being good at football.
"They wanted to know if I'm an alcoholic because I got a DUI or if I liked partying more than I liked football. Just that stuff, off-the-field stuff.
"I felt like I presented myself pretty well. I cut my hair and tried to take a business approach to everything, and I feel like teams have really seen that, and I feel like I'm mature enough to play in the NFL."
Did those questions surprise you?
"Oh no. We prepared. I had like four or five hours of interview training and that's all we talked about, the character stuff."
What do teams want to see more of from you?
"Every team tells me to get prepared to be pressed every play at the line of scrimmage. I've been working on a lot of MMA stuff in Los Angeles, hand fighting, trying to be more vicious at the line of scrimmage and be able to handle that stuff at the next level."

IN Calvin Coolidge's autobiography, written early in 1929, he said that his administration had "encouraged enterprise, made possible the highest rate of wages which has ever existed, returned large profits, brought to the homes of the people the greatest economic benefits they ever enjoyed, and given to the country as a whole an unexampled era of prosperity."1
Throughout the twenties, however, Fiorello LaGuardia found it necessary to spend most of his time and energy battling against the high cost of food and rent, for the rights of wage earners on strike, for a redistribution of wealth through taxation, and in general for government aid to that part of the population which was bypassed in the national rush toward better living. In the course of these conflicts the plastic of his social and economic philosophy hardened, took more definite form, and, in the era of greatest triumph for laissez faire, pointed unhesitantly and challengingly toward the concept of the welfare state.
Shortly after LaGuardia took his seat in the Sixty-eighth Congress, in early 1924, the House began to consider extension of the rent controls which had been established in the District of Columbia in wartime to curb rent profiteering. The original imposition of controls had been greeted with fierce indignation on the part of exponents of "rugged individualism" like Congressman James T. Begg of Ohio, who had said:____________________

About 6,000 residents receiving a deduction that lowers their property tax bill have one more month to verify that they still qualify for the benefit.
The deduction, which is called a homestead deduction, lets residents lower the assessed value of the property where they live by $45,000 or 60 percent, whichever is lower. That results in a lower property tax bill.
Nearly three years ago, the Johnson County Auditor's Office began mailing verification forms to residents receiving the credit asking them to confirm that their home was the only property they were claiming. State law requires that owners of multiple properties receive only one homestead deduction.
The forms are due by Dec. 31. After the deadline, the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance will load them into an online database used to confirm that residents aren't claiming the credit on multiple properties, Johnson County Auditor Jan Richhart said.
Her office began sending the pink- and rose-colored forms in 2010 to the 39,000 Johnson County residents claiming the credit and has received about 85 percent of them back, she said.
"I'm very proud of our taxpayers. They have done an excellent job of getting this back," Richhart said.
Within the next two weeks, residents who haven't returned the verification forms will get a reminder letter about the deadline.
If a property owner doesn't return the form to the auditor's office by the end of next month and doesn't have a legitimate reason for missing the deadline, then they risk losing the credit. That means their property tax bills will rise, though residents can reapply for the credit in the future, Richhart said.
Some of the 6,000 forms likely are outstanding because they were sent to residents' mortgage companies instead of their properties.
Richhart doesn't know how many forms were sent to the mortgage companies. But if people have been receiving the homestead credit and didn't receive the form, or if they aren't sure if their form has been turned in, they need to contact the county auditor's office so they can ensure the form is submitted by the deadline, Richhart said.
If the deadline passes and a resident has a legitimate reason for not having submitted the form, including having the form sent to the wrong address, then the auditor's office will work with that person to help keep the credit, Richhart said.

The deduction allows homeowners to use their primary residence to qualify for a reduction of either 60 percent of the property's assessed value or $45,000, whichever is less. Residents also can get a reduction of up to an additional 35 percent of the remaining assessed value through a supplemental homestead deduction.
The homestead verification form:
What it is: A pink- or rose-colored form sent to residents receiving the homestead deduction.
What to do with it: Send it back to the Johnson County Auditor's Office, 86 W. Court St., Franklin.
Questions: Anyone who isn't sure whether they need to submit the form, who wants to confirm they've submitted the form or who hasn't received the form needs to contact the auditor's office at 346-4310
Deadline: Dec. 31
