Remember Jet Blue? It was a launch color on the R8 that inspired us enough to order the hue on an Audi S5 Coupe. That S5 has since left our garage when we traded it for an S4 but it left its mark with more than just us. Fourtitude user LYKUNO has posted several pics of his new S4, even cooler paired with Audi's new Titanium package.

Old-age disability rates among all major socioeconomic and demographic groups declined over the past two decades, but the magnitude of the fall was larger for those who have higher income, have more years of education, are married, and are younger. As a result, disparities in disability have increased. The causes of these developments are unknown, while the potential ramifications for social and personal well-being are substantial.

In 1993 three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelley Jr were arrested and charged with the murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. The ensuing trial was rife with inconsistencies, false testimony and superstition. Echols was accused of, among other things, practicing witchcraft and satanic rituals – a result of the "satanic panic" prevalent in the media at the time. Baldwin and Miskelley were sentenced to life in prison. Echols, deemed the ringleader, was sentenced to death. He was eighteen years old.
In a shocking reversal of events, all three were suddenly released in August 2011. This is Damien Echols' story in full: from abuses by prison guards and wardens, to descriptions of inmates and deplorable living conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience, spirituality, and perseverance that kept him alive and sane for nearly two decades. Echols also writes about his complicated and painful childhood. Like Dead Man Walking, Life After Death is destined to be a classic.
Review from www.goodreads.com
In the town of Ada, Oklahoma, Ron Williamson was going to be the next Mickey Mantle. But on his way to the big leagues, Ron stumbled, his dream broken by drinking, drugs, and women. Then on a winter night in 1982, not far from Ron's home, a young cocktail waitress named Debra Sue Carter was savagely murdered. The investigation led nowhere. Until, on the flimsiest evidence, it led to Ron Williamson. The washed-up small-town hero was charged, tried, and sentenced to death--in a trial littered with lying witnesses and tainted evidence that would shatter a man's already broken life...and let a true killer go free.
Impeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour drama, John Grisham's first work of non-fiction reads like a page-turning legal thriller. It is a book that will terrify anyone who believes in the presumption of innocence--a book that no American can afford to miss.
Controversy rages about capital punishment as innocent men and women are being released from death rows all over the country. Are innocent people being executed? Is capital punishment justice or is it revenge?
Into the debate steps Mark Fuhrman, America's most famous detective, and no stranger to controversy himself. Fuhrman seeks to answer these questions by investigating the death penalty in Oklahoma, where a "hang 'em high" attitude of cowboy justice resulted in twenty–one executions in 2001, more than any other state. Most of these cases came from one jurisdiction, Oklahoma County, where legendary DA Bob Macy bragged of sending more people to death row than any other prosecutor, and police chemist Joyce Gilchrist was eventually fired for mismanaging the crime lab. Examining police records, trial transcripts, appellate decisions and conducting hundreds of interviews, Fuhrman focuses his considerable investigative skills on more than a dozen of the most controversial Oklahoma death penalty cases.
The acclaimed author of The Other Wes Moore continues his inspirational quest for a meaningful life and shares the powerful lessons—about self-discovery, service, and risk-taking—that led him to a new definition of success for our times.The Work is the story of how one young man traced a path through the world to find his life's purpose. Wes Moore graduated from a difficult childhood in the Bronx and Baltimore to an adult life that would find him at some of the most critical moments in our recent history: as a combat officer in Afghanistan; a White House fellow in a time of wars abroad and disasters at home; and a Wall Street banker during the financial crisis. In this insightful book, Moore shares the lessons he learned from people he met along the way—from the brave Afghan translator who taught him to find his fight, to the resilient young students in Katrina-ravaged Mississippi who showed him the true meaning of grit, to his late grandfather, who taught him to find grace in service.Moore also tells the stories of other twenty-first-century change-makers who've inspired him in his search, from Daniel Lubetzky, the founder of KIND, to Esther Benjamin, a Sri Lankan immigrant who rose to help lead the Peace Corps. What their lives—and his own misadventures and moments of illumination—reveal is that our truest work happens when we serve others, at the intersection between our gifts and our broken world. That's where we find the work that lasts.An intimate narrative about finding meaning in a volatile age, The Work will inspire readers to see how we can each find our own path to purpose and help create a better world.

Luckily, ELPL has many awesome latin music choices both on CD and with Hoopla. Here are some of my favorites:

On September 8 at 6:30, Books on Tap will discuss People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks. See you at Jimmy's!
"In 1996, Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, which has been rescued from Serb shelling during the Bosnian war. Priceless and beautiful, the book is one of the earliest Jewish volumes ever to be illuminated with images. When Hanna, a caustic loner with a passion for her work, discovers a series of tiny artifacts in its ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—she begins to unlock the book's mysteries. The reader is ushered into an exquisitely detailed and atmospheric past, tracing the book's journey from its salvation back to its creation.
In Bosnia during World War II, a Muslim risks his life to protect it from the Nazis. In the hedonistic salons of fin-de-siècle Vienna, the book becomes a pawn in the struggle against the city's rising anti-Semitism. In inquisition-era Venice, a Catholic priest saves it from burning. In Barcelona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text sees his family destroyed by the agonies of enforced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the Haggadah's extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed. Hanna's investigation unexpectedly plunges her into the intrigues of fine art forgers and ultra-nationalist fanatics. Her experiences will test her belief in herself and the man she has come to love.
Inspired by a true story, People of the Book is at once a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity, an ambitious, electrifying work by an acclaimed and beloved author."
Review from Goodreads.
What an amazing discussion about such an important issue. Our discussion of the One Book, One Community 2015 selection Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson revealed that there is much more to the prison institution that guity people being sentenced and life moving on. Along with the OBOC selection we discovered ties to many other works: The House I Live In, The New Jim Crow, Annie's Ghosts, and The True American to name a few. This book is not just about being sentenced to death - whether that be the death penalty or serving life without parole - but a much broader range of issues. It encompasses socio-economic issues, poverty, drug use, emotional and physical trauma, mental disorders and how we treat them, race, and so many other concerns we as a nation should look at with a more critical eye. We ended the night with some overwhelming questions: how can this cycle change? And how can we, as individuals and groups, make a change? As one member put it, this book makes you think. It forces you think about everything you want to bury your head in the sand about. But something needs to give, and we the people need to lead that charge. Please join the East Lansing community as they welcome Bryan Stevenson to the Hannah Center on Sunday August 30 at 7pm.
The East Lansing Public Library (ELPL) is excited to announce that the 2.0 Maker Studio, located in downtown East Lansing on the second floor of the East Lansing Marriott at University Place, will remain open for an additional 10 months, through May 2016.
Like many young professionals in their twenties, Nina MacLaughlin spent most of her days at a desk, honing her career skills at a Boston newspaper in order to climb the ladder in her profession. In the midst of her career climb, as she approached her late twenties, MacLaughlin realized that she had hit a wall. The route she walked to and from work each day began to lose its luster, and she questioned whether the slow and steady draining of her mind into the screen before her (another daily occurence) meant anything in the end. Her daily routines, which at one time had brought comfort and a sense of purpose to her life, had gone stale. After examining this unexpected change of heart for some time, MacLaughlin did what many in her position only dream of. One morning she walked to work, crossing the bridge that she had so many times before, and promptly quite her job.
MacLaughlin's story is one of personal and professional growth, and proves that there are times when going with your gut can truly pay off. As she takes a leap into a new profession as a carpenter's assistant, we are invited along for the little known frustrations and setbacks experienced by professional carpenters, the grit and grime of remodeling basements, the joy of working with freshly cut two by fours and mastering the art and accuracy required for finish work. But it is the unexpected love of the job, and the satisfaction she receives from fixing, restoring, and creating lasting pieces that ultimately make this title worth a look. Highly recommended for twenty somethings, and anyone seeking to reinvent their career path.
Our August artist in the North Gallery is D. Eric Johnson. His Visions of Wildlife "shares the beauty of nature...as it was meant to be".
Join the Friends as we celebrate Eric's work with a Gallery Reception on Saturday, August 15, from 2-4pm in the library's North Foyer Art Gallery.
Or stop by sometime in August to enjoy his work, and check out his website with more beautiful art at www.visionsofwildlife.com
Eric Johnson's love of photography dates back to the early 60's, when he spent the very first money he earned from a paper route to purchase a Kodak Instamatic camera as a young teenager; a few months later he purchased his first "real" camera, a 35mm SLR. He joined the Michigan State police in 1978, but paralleled his time in law enforcement by owning and operating full-time portrait studios in two separate locations starting in 1983, winning numerous state, local, and national awards. After a 30-year career in law enforcement, he went-on to specialize in forensic photography, and now teaches forensic photography to law enforcement personnel in Michigan and across the country. Eric is recognized throughout the United States as an expert in forensic photography; he is currently the only Certified Evidence Photographer in Michigan, as well as the only Certified Forensic Photographer in Michigan – sharing both of these designations with only 5 other photographers worldwide.
For more than 35 years Eric has also pursued his passion of wildlife and landscape photography, and has amassed an extensive library with tens-of-thousands of images. Eric's images have been published by the National Eagle Center, the Michigan Audubon Society, Get Lost travel magazine (Australia), and used by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in various publications and promotional literature.After years of being urged by his family and friends, he has decided to share his Visions of Wildlife with those that otherwise may not have the opportunity to view the beauty of nature – as it was meant to be seen.
Better Living Book Club's August selection: Being Mortal by Atul Gawande
I've been waiting four years for a new book from Ernest Cline. Ready Player One was such a fantastic combination of pop culture and science fiction that my little nerd heart almost exploded! And the best part of all: Wil Wheaton reads the audiobook! Armada, Cline's newest title, made the four year wait worth it.
Zack Lightman, a teen from the suburbs of Portland, grows up absorbed by playing video games and attempting to understand the life of his father who passed before Zack was even one year old. Zack's game of choice is Armada: a first-person, flight simulation, shooter game where a player must defend Earth from invading aliens. While going through his father's belongings, Zack uncovers his dad's journals which detail a conspiracy theory connecting the following: video games, military training, movies, and aliens. While questioning whether his father was right and there was a conspiracy, or if his father suffered from a mental illness, Zack sees a spaceship flying outside of his high school. And it's not just any spaceship - it's a Glaive Fighter plane from Armada!
While the story has similar themes to Ender's Game, the references Cline inserts and the humor truly set it apart from Ender. Heck - Cline even acknowledges in the text that Zack's mission is very similar to that of Ender! This book is for those who grew up in the 80s and 90s, spending time in arcades and picking up cultural references through osmosis (music, movies, tv shows). This was a quick read and had the same smooth flow that Cline put forth in Ready Player One. And super bonus: Wil Wheaton reads the book AGAIN!!!

This isn't your usual Fantasy read: think adult Harry Potter meets Charles Dickens. For those of you who missed its debut in 2004, now is a good time to give Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell a try. This was my second time through, and I still loved the author's Dickens/Austen-style of writing, the slow measured pace, and yes, even the multitude of footnotes. And no character has scared me quite like the Man With the Thistledown Hair. While it might not appeal to every reader, especially those looking for fast-paced action in a Fantasy read, if you let yourself settle into this strange fantastical version of the past, you may find yourself as hooked as I have been.

GeForce GTX 760 review -
Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 - Rebadged but kickin' hard !
Nvidia today unleashes its all new GeForce GTX 760. Well all new ... really the GeForce GTX 760 is a re-spin product, meaning NVIDIA took a GPU you guys all know very well, rebadged it, tweaked some parameters and injected it back into the market at better price-performance point. You might like that, or not. But the fact remains that the GeForce GTX 760 can be considered a mainstream to high-end product, yet comes at a competitive price with the very same chip used in the GeForce GTX 670 and GTX 680. And these two where the second and top high-end graphics cards a year ago. As such, I find he release of the GTX 760 to be very interesting in terms of performance. See the GK104 GPU (used on the GeForce GTX 680) itself being used will have two out of eight shader cluster disabled. This gives the GK104 GPU 1152 CUDA cores to work with, with in total, 96 texture and 32 raster operating units. The GPU being used is tagged as GK104-225 A2. The graphics card also has slightly slower clock frequencies than big daddy GTX 680. However the GTX 760 comes with a Boost clock which is set at 1033 MHz. The core clock frequency (for the reference products) is 980 MHz with the 256-bit DDR5 memory clocking in at 6008 MHz. In fact, this is the same memory subsystem that was found on last year's flagship GeForce GTX 680 GPU.
With a TDP at roughly 170 Watts the card isn't really energy friendly but, considering its performance level, won't draw too much power either. The GTX 760 surely packs power, it is silent and the GPU core temperatures remain completely under control. Board partners will be free to launch their own SKUs, all pimped and beefed up, and that's where we start the next chapter. Nvidia's board partners will offer a wide variety of GeForce GTX 760 configurations at launch. Most GeForce GTX 760 cards will initially ship with 2GB of memory but 4GB versions are possible as well; the GTX 760 will be tailored to meet the needs of gamers with 1080p displays. 1080p is the most common screen resolution used by gamers today, followed by 1920x1200. The vast majority of gamers in this market segment game at 1920x1200 or lower.
The Base clock speed of the GeForce GTX 760 is 980MHz, while the Boost clock speed is 1033MHz. However, NVIDIA board partners will also offer factory overclocked GeForce GTX 760 boards that run at even higher clock speeds. In addition, their partners will also provide GeForce GTX 760 cards with their own custom cooling solutions. The GeForce GTX 760 reference board measures 9.5" in length. Display outputs include two dual-link DVIs, one HDMI and one DisplayPort connector. Two 6-pin PCIe power connectors are required for operation. The GeForce GTX 760 will be replacing the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in the Nvidia lineup.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 164,497, filed Mar. 4, 1988, now abandoned.
This invention is in the field of burglar alarm systems utilized with sliding doors or windows. In the commonly owned parent application there is disclosed a tubular device having a visual and audio alarm connectable to a plurality of batteries and operable by a push button switch mounted to one end of the tube. The tube is installed adjacent the sliding door or window so that the switch will be depressed upon movement of the door or window thereby activating the alarm. The frame surrounding a sliding door or window dimensionally varies from unit to unit and as a result, there is a need within the aforementioned security device to include an adjustment means for setting the trigger mechanism in accordance with the door or window frame construction. Likewise, it is desirable to preset the sensitivity of the security device so that it will trigger the alarm with the particular desired movement of the door or window. In other words, it may be desirable to trigger the alarm with only a small movement of the door or window or with a relatively great amount of movement.
The security device disclosed herein does a number of things in addition to allowing for the presetting of the sensitivity of the device. The device securely prevents opening of the sliding window or door. It is a bar and a jamming member, which purely and simply, when in place, will not allow sliding action, of sufficient amount, as will permit the door or window to open allowing an entry.
Equally as important, when in place, any initiation of movement by an intruder of the window or door element will actuate immediately a switch, which in turn, immediately and promptly energizes two independent alarm features. One of the alarms is a loud piercing high frequency sound which is shrill, alarming and surprising and motive defeating. The second alarm is a bright light which instantaneously floods the individual and the door or window with light directed in the manner desired by the occupant and arranged to achieve a most startling effect upon the would be intruder.
The prior art is replete with devices and apparatus which have been designed to provide security and to bar entry into various doors and windows of dwellings and the like. One such device is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,358,758. Further illustrative of prior art apparatus are those shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,266,216 issued to Trusty; 2,870,281 issued to Mitchell; 4,193,067 issued to Hawkins; 3,778,806 issued to Williams; 4,495,486 issued to White; 4,151,520 issued to Full; and, 3,742,479 issued to Williams.
Many of these devices are designed only to be used on swinging doors while others are unsightly and complicated. Other of the patented devices are anything but simplistic. Most fail to actually bar entry and are only alarms. Other devices are of limited utility or require mounting installations such as drilled holes, modifications of the surrounding area or the like. Many of the prior art devices are clearly expensive, part due to the complicated nature of their construction. Certain of the devices are not only complicated, but involve exterior components which detract from their portability and shipability and adversely effect marketability.
One embodiment of the invention is a portable, self-contained security device for sliding doors or windows comprising elongate means adapted for positioning, in axial alignment with the plane of a sliding door or window and in the marginal path of its normally sliding opening to prevent opening, electrical power source means mounted to the elongate means, alarm means mounted to the elongate means and connectable to the electrical power source means, depressible switch means mounted to an end of the elongate means and including first and second contacts mounted to the elongate means and movable means mounted to an end of the elongate means and associated with the contacts being operable to move the contacts together and connect the electrical power source means with the alarm means when the switch means is depressed by movement of the sliding door or window, and, adjustable means operable to adjustingly control the spacing between the contacts and the movable means allowing presetting of sensitivity of the switch means to movement of the sliding door or window.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved security device for sliding doors and windows.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a sliding door or window security device having adjustment means for presetting the sensitivity of the device.
In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sliding door or window security device having new and improved switching means for connecting an alarm with a source of electrical energy.
Related objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
FIG. 1 is an axial end view of one embodiment of the elongate tubular alarm and lock device.
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view taken along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1 and viewed in the direction of the arrows.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the device of FIG. 2 located in the bottom-most track for a sliding patio door.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view, partially disassembled, of the device of FIG. 2 with portions shown axially exploded, and with parts broken away for purposes of illustrating the interior detail of construction.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagrammatic view of the electric circuit incorporated in the device of FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 is the same view as FIG. 2 only showing the preferred embodiment of the security device.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, there is disclosed therein, the alternate embodiment including an elongate tubular combination alarm and lock device 11 which, in FIGS. 1 and 3 is shown lying horizontally in a channel-like track 12 with its one end 11a abutting the vertical jam of a sliding door assembly. The assembly includes two windowed patio doors 12b and 12d and tracks 12 and 12a (FIG. 1). Each track contains the similar windowed patio door 12b and 12d slidable therein. The lock device 11 in channel track 12, prohibits and precludes movement of the patio door 12d in the opening direction of the arrow 12e because the device 11 already fills the track 12. As indicated, the device effectively bars or prohibits movement of the patio door 12d short of violently breaking the window or door.
Additionally, the device 11, in a manner as will be described, includes a double alarm feature which is actuated by any attempt to move the patio door 12d in the direction indicated by the arrow 12e; principally, because such movement of the patio door 12d, will cause its contact with contact 14a projecting axially from switch assembly 14 which is a part of the device 11 as will be described.
Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 2 and 3, the device 11 of the present invention is composed of two hollow, elongate tubular sections 16 and 18. Tubular section 16 serves as a spacer and housing for four 1.5-volt batteries 17, of which only two are shown in FIG. 2, due to broken away section, as at 19, for the purpose of reducing size for illustration purposes. Tubular section 16 includes a closure end cap 20 at the terminal end and additionally, a circular spacer 21 which is soldered at its outer periphery to the interior wall of section 16 and serves as a seat for spring 21a bearing against the end most of the series of batteries to urge them forward to insure electrical contact as described hereinafter.
Tubular section 18 is slightly larger in diameter than the section 16 and specifically with an I.D. which slidingly receives the end of the tubular section 16 opposite the cap 20 with securement provided by a dimple 18a on section 18 projecting inwardly for engagement with a bayonet type slot 16a in section 16. The amount of telescoping (about 2 inches), contributes to the axial strength of the overall device in serving to bar the opening of the sliding patio door or the like.
End cap 30, featuring a central aperture 30a, to accommodate switch 14, snaps into the outer cylindrical end of the section 18. Tube section 18 is also provided with two side-by-side arcuate cut outs 18b and 18c for purposes described hereafter.
Slidingly situated within the tubular section 18 is a bracket and dual alarm assembly 40 (see FIG. 4). The one-piece bracket 41 includes end segments 42 and 43 generally concentric with the I.D. of tubular section 18. Spaced linear segments 44 and 45 are shown extending respectively from the circular segments 42 and 43 and normal thereto but bent midway to define a perpendicular segment 47 and at 46a an inclined segment 48.
The switch assembly 14 is centrally mounted on the end segment portion 43 as shown (FIG. 4) with the main part of the switch 14 and switch terminals 14e located interiorly in the tube section 18 while a threaded extension 14b and axial armature 14f extend exteriorally through an appropriate aperture in the end segment 43 and is held by nut 14c, while the remaining portion of the threaded segment 14b extends through aperture 30a of cap 30 and is engaged by threaded nut 14g to properly hold the switch in secure operative fashion (FIG. 2), with the alarm components of the device of the present invention. Switch contact tip 14a telescopes onto armature rod 14f and carries contact pressure to the armature and thence to switch interior to actuate the flow of current as described hereinafter.
Movement of the rod like armature 14f axially into the switch turns the switch sequentially either "on" or "off". In other words, it either completes or interrupts the flow of current from the batteries to the alarm light and alarm buzzer in accordance with the circuit established by appropriate wiring from the switch terminals 14e to the respective positive and negative terminals of the light, the buzzer and the batteries. It may be indicated, parenthetically, that the tubular members, formed of metal, may serve as a single ground or negative, much as the body of an automobile serves as a negative or ground connection with respect to any of the battery operated components or accessories. The preferred circuitry will be described hereinafter in more detail.
In addition to the circular segment 43, in which the switch 14 is mounted; the bracket 41 includes a linear segment 45 and connected thereto an inclined segment 48, which contains a central aperture to receive light bulb 50 having base 50a extending therethrough to terminate in a positive terminal 50b. Surrounding the base of bulb 50a is a generally cone-shaped reflector 50c. The cone-shaped reflector is, as shown in FIG. 2, fully assembled in proximity to the arcuate cutout 18c in tubular member 18. Connected serially to inclined bracket segment 48 is a vertical segment 47 which, in turn, connects with the bracket segment 44 which, in turn, connects with circular bracket segment 42, much like, but spaced from circular bracket segment 43. Bracket segment 44 serves as a base for buzzer 60 assembly, carried on a pair of springs 61 and 62 surrounding mounting cap screws 63 and 64 threadingly extending through integral ear like flanges buzzer mounted on the bracket segment 44 as shown. The buzzer-like audio alarm within buzzer housing 60 is an off the shelf and readily available piezo-electric, direct current element actuable from 3-28 volts and a maximum of 20 milli-amps and manufactured in New York, N.Y. by Amseco as part number PAL-328 N. Reference numeral 61 identifies a circular upstanding speaker, secured to the buzzer by threaded collar 62, which projects upwardly through arcuate cut out 18b in tubular member 18, as best seen in FIG. 2. Circular segment 42 contains a central aperture 42a and concentric therewith a circular electrical terminal 42c. The electrical terminal 42c, as can be seen in FIG. 2 is contacted by the terminal 17a of the closest battery 17 to conduct flow of direct current from the serially connected array of batteries via appropriate circuitry (not shown) to the switch 14 and specifically, one of the terminals 14e. Upon actuation of switch 14, current flows through said appropriate wiring to the positive terminal 50b of lamp 50 and to a positive terminal of the piezo-electric type buzzer 60. This circuitry is best understood by reference to schematic drawing in FIG. 5 which clearly illustrates that the lamp or light 50 and the audible, piezo-electric buzzer 60 are connected, in parallel, across the shown positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery, which, in the embodiment, consist of four 1.5-volt batteries arranged in a series, to develop a 6-volt direct current power source 17.
Switch 14 allows the current supply to flow from one of three terminals 14e to another of the terminals thence to separate wiring leading to the light and the buzzer independently. From the light and buzzer, current flows to ground, either through appropriate wiring to the spring 21a or through the metallic tubular member itself to the soldered disc 21, the spring 21a to the base of the end most battery at the end of the four battery array 17 to complete the circuit.
Reference numeral 52 identifies a transparent (lens) plastic cylinder (made from tenite butyrate in the model shown) which telescopically surrounds the tubular member 18, in overlying relationship with the arcuate cut-out 18c, beneath which is the lamp assembly, specifically bulb 50 (FIG. 1). This convenience feature allows easy and ready replacement of a worn out or inoperative bulb. Thus, one simply depresses the buzzer speaker 61 and ring 62 to displace the entire speaker assembly within the interior of the tubular member 18 through arcuate cut-out 18b thereby accommodating movement of the transparent cylinder 52 to the left into overlying relationship with said arcuate cut out 18c. The cylinder thusly retains the buzzer assembly 60 in recessed relationship as permitted by the compression of springs 61 and 62 surrounding mounting screws 63 and 64, whereupon the bulb can be finger removed from bracket segment 48 and a new bulb similarly inserted. Then the transparent cylinder 52 can be moved into overlying relationship with respect to the arcuate cut-out 18c while, at the same time, allowing the buzzer housing assembly 60 to return to its normal position as shown in FIG. 2 extending slightly through cut-out 18b as urged by the springs 61 and 62. Also by reason of the arrangement of cut-out 18b as shown and described hereinabove, the ring 62 of the buzzer can be unthreaded to provide for replacement of the speaker 61 or access to the interior of the buzzer assembly 60 without disassembly of the entire device.
Reference numeral 90 identifies a handle or hook member which is welded, soldered or otherwise secured to the outer surface of tubular member 16 for convenience to the user.
It will be appreciated that the tubular members 16 and 18 may be conveniently fabricated of steel or aluminum and sized in length to meet the particular dimension of the channels of the patio door or window of the users dwelling, residence, office, etc. Usually, tubular member 18, which contains the bracket 41 carrying the operative, alarm elements of the device 11, are fabricated to a uniform given, pre-selected length, while the tubular member 16 is fabricated of various lengths to meet with the pre-selected lengths of member 18, the dimension of the door, window or the like in which the device 11 is to be used. Soldered disc 21 can be secured in any position as will, through the spring 21a, compress the four, serially-located batteries with the end most battery terminal 17a projecting through aperture 42a into contact with soldered terminal 42c to complete the DC circuit in a manner as hereinbefore described.
The elongate device 11, composed of the tubular members 16 and 18, containing an operative array of batteries 17 and with the buzzer 60 and lamp assembly 50 mounted appropriately on the bracket 40 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2, and with the wiring and circuits completed in a manner as described hereinabove, are usually and novelly adapted to perform its multi-functional utility in the desired manner.
As previously described, this usage is illustrated in FIG. 3, wherein the device 11 is shown located in the lower horizontal track 12 of the sliding door assembly consisting of door panels 12b and 12d as previously described. Track 12, of course, is the inner of the two parallel tracks 12 and 12a as shown in FIG. 1 and contains door panel 12d. A potential intruder attempting to move the sliding door 12d, to open it, will cause its rear most edge 12f to compress the switch contact 14a moving the axial armature 14f inward, actuating the switch and connecting the source of electricity; e.g.: the batteries 17 simultaneously and independently connect to the lamp or light bulb 50a and the buzzer 60.
As just indicated, separate circuitry or wiring will direct current to each of these elements independent of the other. Immediately, the light is energized into illumination, focused by the reflector 50c through the arcuate opening 18c, through the lens 18d integrally formed in cylinder 52 and upward and outward of the door assembly to flood the attempted intruder. Simultaneously, the piezo-electric buzzer element will sound shrilly, startling the attempted intruder and, as well, serving to awaken anyone within hearing, particularly those within the confines of the residence, office or dwelling in question. Both the light and the buzzer will continue to operate until the switch 14 is again actuated by contact 14a. Experience has suggested that, startled and frightened by the simultaneous food of focused light and the shrill buzzer alarm, the prospective intruder leaves. The owner/occupant may then, with some caution and pre-determined expectation that the intruder has, in fact, left, arrange to actuate the switch to the "off" position and thereby discontinue the current flow from the batteries to the lamp and the buzzer audio alarm.
It will be appreciated that the intensity of the light and the sound of the alarm will given an indication of the condition of the batteries. If weaker than desired, the tubular members can be disengaged by rotational movement thereof to disengage the bayonet type connector as previously described to expose the interior of member 16 so that downward inclination thereof, opposite end 20, will allow the four worn batteries to slide out and allow replacement with fresh batteries followed by telescoping engagement of the tubular members, as shown coupled with engagement of the bayonet 18a and 16a, as previously described.
The device of the present invention possesses further utility in the event that one is not at home. Thus, the floodlight and the audio buzzer alarm will continue to emit their respective alarming signals. The device continues to remain in the track and bar any opening of the sliding door 12d as would permit any entry/access of the intruder.
In summary, ultimate security is provided in that the device 11 absolutely prevents sliding or opening of the door. Preliminarily, any attempt to open the door by sliding the door in an opening direction will actuate the independently powered light and audio buzzer alarm serving to doubly alarm or startle the attempted intruder. As has previously been indicated, should the buzzer be defective, or the light be defective, such will not break the circuit to the other alarm element since they are connected in parallel rather than in series.
In accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention, the device 11 may be constructed to employ household alternating current instead of the direct current as supplied by the internal batteries. In this embodiment, in place of batteries, a transformer is employed. The transformer converts 110-volt alternating current to 6-volt direct current suitable for the sound alarm and light alarm elements. This, of course, necessitates employment of means such as an extension corn for connecting the transformer (110-volt AC to 6-volt DC) located within, for example, housing member 16 to a source of alternating current such as the wall plug provided in most residences, apartments, offices, and the like. The 110-volt alternating current is easily carried by appropriate insulated wire directed through an opening in the wall of the tubular member 16 for connection to the appropriate terminals of the transformer positioned therewithin. Alternatively, of course, 110-volt AC to 6-volt DC transformers are available in the form of a plug/box combination which, includes appropriate prongs for the normal 110-volt receptacle and a length of wire extending to any unit requiring direct current (DC) such as a 9-volt direct current powered radio or direct current powered battery (Ni-Cd) charger or the like.
Within the framework or scope, as described, the device of the present invention may employ nickel cadmium rechargeable type batteries as the power source with an AC-DC transformer type charger built into the tubular member and with external provisions for connecting to a 110-volt alternating current source so that the batteries are continuously or intermittently recharged as desired.
An advantage of the embodiment employing household alternating current is that the alarms once initiated by actuation of the switch, continues essentially indefinitely rather than limited to the capacity of the DC batteries. On the other hand, the alternating current actuation requires a convenient source or outlet for alternating current and, of course, the inconvenience and/or unsightliness of employing an extension cord, appropriate wiring or the like to the device 11.
In a more detailed and elaborate embodiment of the present invention, the transparent cylindrical sleeve member 52 enveloping the tubular member 16 in covering relationship with the arcuate cut-out, in proximity to the light source, is of special design. Thus, the transparent sleeve is of particular and optical properties selected to focus and control the light emanating from the bulb through the arcuate opening. In this embodiment, it is envisioned that a variant plurality of transparent cylindrical sleeve members would be designed and available for purchase by a user desiring to achieve a particular pre-designed focusing or dispersion of the light waves depending upon the particular security situation peculiar to the proposed use of the device of the present invention.
By way of further example, the transparent sleeve can embody a lens 18d to diffuse the light generally and, at the same time, include a separate lens to focus a portion of the light passing therethrough to impinge directly on a photoelectric cell device remote from the device of the present invention itself. In accordance with this embodiment, the photoelectric cell is electrically connected to a source of electricity and appropriate circuitry leaving to an alarm remote from the device as for example, a centralized monitoring station located at the security office for the particular building, be it office, apartment or the like.
In this fashion, any attempt to open a sliding door or window anywhere equipped with a device of the present invention, will result in an immediate alarm at the site by actuation of the shrill/buzzer and the floodlight while at the same time, a portion of the light is focussed on a light sensitive, photoelectric cell designed to be actuated by that focused light and propagate through appropriate circuitry, known in the art, to an alarm board situated at a central security post or the like.
The preferred embodiment of the security device is shown in cross-section in FIG. 6. Security device 100 includes a pair of elongated hollow tubes 101 and 102 telescopically connected together. Fixedly mounted within tube 102 is a frame 103 for holding the batteries 104, buzzer alarm 105 and visual alarm 107. In addition, a printed circuit board 108 is mounted to frame 103 and carries the various electronic components to connect the source of electrical energy with the alarms and with the various switches.
Frame 103 includes a center portion or intermediate wall 109 fixedly secured to tube 102 by a conventional fastening device such as screw 110. Batteries 104 are positioned in series atop the horizontally extending wall 111 cantileveredly mounted to wall 109. The opposite end of wall 111 is integrally connected to end wall 112 perpendicularly arranged thereto. End wall 112 has a diameter less than the inside diameter of tube 101 allowing tube 101 to slide within outer tube 102 pass wall 112 until the inner end 113 of tube 101 contacts stop surface 114 of wall 109. Tubes 101 and 102 are removably secured together by means of a conventional pin 115 which is removable, but press fitted through a pair of aligned apertures formed in tubes 101 and 102. A plurality of apertures 120 are formed in inner tube 101 and are alignable with the aperture formed in outer tube 102 to allow extension or retraction of tube 101 to fit the particular window or door frame such as depicted and described for the alternate embodiment of FIG. 3. Further, end cap 116 secured to the end of inner tube 101 is provided with an internally threaded boss 117 by meshing engagement with threaded member 118 having an outer stop 119 secured thereto. Member 118 may be threaded inwardly or outwardly to position stop 119 against the door or window frame thereby providing further adjustment of the length of the telescopically constructed tubes.
Alarms 105 and 107 are mounted atop wall 121 which is integrally joined to and extends to the right of wall 103. A second horizontally extending wall 122 is perpendicularly arranged and integrally connected to wall 103 and has a printed circuit board 108 fixedly mounted thereto by downwardly projecting mounting posts 123. A pair of contacts 124 and 125 extend upwardly from board 108 through wall 122 to a position immediately adjacent threaded member 126.
Security device 100 includes a depressible switch means mounted to the right end of tube 102 which is operable to connect the source of electrical power provided by batteries 104 to the alarms 105 and 107. The switch means includes a cylindrical rigid member 146 slidably received in guide 128 fixedly secured to tube 102. Guide 128 has a cylindrical outwardly opening cavity 129 in which rigid member 146 is movable. A compressible gasket or washer 130 is positioned between the mutually facing surfaces of rigid member 146 and vertical wall 131 of guide 128. Threaded member 126 is fixedly secured to and movable with rigid member 146. A thumb nut 132 is threadedly mounted to the inwardly projecting end of threaded member 126 and is movable with the threaded member whenever rigid element 146 moves relative to guide 128 and tube 102. A centrally located aperture 133 allows thumb member 132 to move through wall 131. In operation, the inwardly facing surface 134 of thumb nut 132 contacts and forces together contacts 124 and 125 as rigid member 146 is depressed into guide 128 resulting from movement of the sliding door or window. A plurality of openings 135 are positioned in tube 102 immediately adjacent thumb nut 132 to allow the user to extend a finger or other elongated element through the tube against thumb nut 132 to rotate nut 132 in relationship to threaded member 126 thereby providing an adjustable means to adjustingly control the spacing between contacts 124-125 and contact surface 134. Such presetting allows for the predetermination of the sensitivity of the switch means to movement of the sliding door or window.
The electrical circuit required to connect the batteries to the two alarms as well as to the activating switch may be as depicted in FIG. 5 or any other conventional circuit with the components limiting or amplifying the current being mounted to printed circuit board 108. Likewise, alarms 105 and 107 may be identical to the alarms previously described as alarms 60 and 50 (FIG. 2). In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 6, contacts 124 and 125 are metal and are cantileveredly mounted to printed circuit board 108 being normally spaced apart, but which will move together as surface 134 moves to the left as viewed in FIG. 6 and forces contact 125 against 124 thereby completing the circuit and connecting the alarms to the source of electrical energy. A conventional contact 140 mounted to wall 112 connects one end of the batteries to wire 141 which extends to the right to the printed circuit board and eventually to contact 124 with the opposite end of the row of batteries being connected by separate wire to the circuit board and eventually to the remaining contact 125.
Device 100 provides a portable self-controlled security device for sliding doors or windows. The device is operable with an internally located source of electrical power provided by batteries 104 or conventional circuitry may be employed to connect the device to an external source of power. Wall 111 provides an electrical power source means mounted within the tubes which when filled with batteries provide a suitable source of power. The thumb nut 132 provides an adjustable means which is operable to adjustingly control the spacing between the two contacts 124 and 125 and a movable means which includes the thumb nut, threaded member 126 and rigid element 146. Thus, the sensitivity of the switch means may be preset to movement of the sliding door or window. The switch means includes the first and second contacts 124 and 125 along with threaded member 126 and element 146. The compressible washer 130 provides a spring means operable to allow element 146 to move towards contacts 124 and 125.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the preferred embodiments have been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.

Valad Europe has let 3,025 square metres of office space in three separate lettings on assets in the Landmark Portfolio.
At Pikeursbaan 15 – 23 in Deventer, the social housing foundation Woonstichting Rentree signed a new 10 year lease on 750 sq m of space. The building is located in the centre of Deventer, close to the main highway connecting Amsterdam with Germany and is currently let to four tenants.
At Einsteindreef 125–127, in Utrecht, the bailiff company Groenwegen en Partners Gerechtsdeurwaarders renewed a lease on 1,369 sq m of office space. Located next to the Utrecht ring road, the 9,021 sq m office building is currently let to five tenants including INC Research Netherlands.
At Stationsplein 9, Gouda, Waarborg Platina Goud Zilver renewed a lease on 906 sq m of office space. Totalling 4,376 sq m, the building comprises four floors and is currently let to nine tenants.
All the assets are in the Landmark Portfolio which Valad Europe was appointed to manage in May 2013. Since being appointed, Valad has completed a number of asset management initiatives including several lettings, and also traded the LJ Zielstraweg 2 office building in Groningen. The original Landmark Portfolio comprised 13 office assets, located predominantly in the Ranstad area, including an 8,000 sq m asset in the Zuidoost district of Amsterdam.
Richard den Hartigh, Valad Europe's head of asset management for the Benelux region, says: "This new letting and two lease renewals are typical of how we are creating value in the Landmark Portfolio. Our focus is on developing the existing tenant customer relationships, finding new tenants for the vacant units and repositioning assets in order to improve income and capital values across the portfolio."

A prominent global media and entertainment company has chosen Pilat Media's Integrated Broadcast Management System (IBMS) as the central rights management, content scheduling and media trafficking system for this large organization.
IBMS replaces several diverse systems to deliver new efficiencies through centralization, standardization, and workflow automation. The customer is rolling IBMS out gradually across its Europe, Middle East, and Africa organization to support linear channels as well as on-demand and new media services.
"We are delighted to have been selected by this global industry leader after a long and thorough evaluation process. In February, we announced that this company had gone live with the MediaPro advertising sales system provided by our Dutch subsidiary, so it's now very gratifying to be chosen for the content management part of the operation," said Avi Engel, CEO, Pilat Media. "This customer's selection of IBMS is just the latest example of how our solutions are enabling large-scale centralization and consolidation within some of the world's largest media operations."

The public won't profit from this, so why should the public pay for it? Why do developers always have their hands out for our money??Hide replies
Why is it always about profit. Do I directly profit from educating your children?
You directly profit because you don't have to pay for their incarceration or welfare if they are contributing members of society, so yes.
But if the children do not become productive or live off welfare their entire lives I pay no matter what.
Dont forget their Obama cell phones, free medical, subsidized housing, etc.
Because only corporate welfare is okay in some people's minds.
Not gonna happen. Waste of a study and an article about it. The only building that may go is the old power station.Hide replies
I agree. This has been studied enough. It's time for the bulldozers!
Honestly, I don't think this one is worth it. Those buildings are really not that fabulous. The area around there is pretty screwed unless they adopt some serious new-urbanist principals to development, so at this point I'm inclined to take the loss.
High quality buildings and high quality developments cost more money? Stop the presses! If the people of Wauwatosa decide that they are ok with losing these unique buildings in the name of progress, then so be it. But to lose them simply because of a difference of 4 or 5 million dollars would be short-sited, plain and simple.
Again. You changed the deal. The property should be taken back to the foundation, and the land re-offered to the public at large without the conditions of the historical designation.
How many didn't look at this site because they knew what it was going to cost to renovate/rehab these buildings? And how many looked at the site and saw the limitations that these existing buildings would put on any new development footprint.
What exactly is the cost benefit to Mandel if they are allowed to 'ignore' the historical designation that this property was offered to them with? Maybe the city should look at making that money, instead of funding private profit, at the expense of it's citizens.
...or not. There is always the option that the developer sucks it up, raises the lease rate and moves forward!
I think there should be no further discussion of renovation until plans are redrawn include 40 tons of top soil on each roof. This is the only enlightened way to build a structure in Milwaukee county.
Hillarious....Mandel never was going to redevelop those buildings. It was just a way to get in to get the land and associated TIF. They had to look like they put up a good effort, but what historic buildings has Mandel ever renovated? None. It is not their area of expertise, this was just a way for them to get the land.
Mandel is a great company and does great work and provides a great product, but anyone who thinks they ever seriously considered historic renovation here is fooling themselves and the entity that is controlling the site and giving it to them had to know that as well, unless they are idiots.Hide replies
Walker as county exec, wawatosa and county grounds. . look for your idiot in the governors mansion.
shermanparker nailed it on the head - did anyone really believe the buildings would be renovated by Mandel? Just business as usual.

What is infotainment? Yes, it's a real word. It usually refers to a TV show. The site Road Snacks claims to be an infotainment site and there's a faint disclaimer that states "This article is an opinion based on facts and is meant as infotainment. Don't freak out." Too late!
