New Berlin - Police this week were still investigating a bomb threat that caused a lockdown at New Berlin Eisenhower Middle/High School, 4333 S. Sunny Slope Road, last week.
On Sept. 27, the school received its second bomb threat in three days. The first one was discovered Sept. 25. Both involved scrawled messages on a boys room stall.
New Berlin police are working with school officials to determine whether both threats are the work of the same student or students, said New Berlin Police Chief Joe Rieder, whose department conducted a building sweep in both incidents.
In the first incident, which came at the end of the school day, the investigation began after students were dismissed, and parents were notified that evening.
Though the second threat was discovered while school was in session, the school was not evacuated because the threat was not considered credible, Rieder said. As a precaution, the school went into a lockdown while a building sweep was conducted.
In the second case, police used a dog to sniff out any potential bomb beginning at 1:15 p.m., while the school was in lockdown mode, Rieder said. Normal school activities resumed at 2:15 p.m.
However, a homecoming assembly that was to be held Sept. 27 was postponed to Monday. No other events tied to Homecoming, culminating in the game this Friday, were impacted, said Courtney Fryatt, activities and athletic director.
There was increased police presence at school Friday, following the Sept. 27 threat. The school's staff is continuing to monitor all areas of the school building, Principal Michael Fessenmaier said.
School officials are encouraging parents to talk with their children about the threats.
According to a news release, the school district is encouraging anyone with information to come forward confidentially to a teacher or administrator or to the New Berlin Police Department.

PowerLight Mini
Conclusions: The BioLite Powerlight Mini provides reasonable light for use around camp, with the additional benefit of recharge capacity for a cell phone, inReach, handheld GPSR, or small camera, and at a reasonable price. It is readily recharged with a small solar panel, making a total of just over a pound, which is reasonable for a backpacking trip. Heavy use as a night or hiking light or as a recharging source for frequent cell phone or inReach tracking use may require extra backup battery storage. Full review
THE stove option for survivalists and people who enjoy extended wilderness hiking. The BioLite is great because it allows you to burn just about anything. sSmall sticks and twigs are the best but in a pinch we've used leaves, pinecones, coal, all sorts! Not only does that save you buying and carrying fuel but it means that the stove can be used in emergency and survival situations very effectively. It also has a small turbine inside that uses excess heat to generate electricity! So you can keep… Full review
Four years, over six backpacks a year I take this stove on. It's a winner. Four years and going strong being used on six backpacks a year. Some of those the stove ran from dark to bedtime (hours). It's like having your personal campfire right next to you. Outperforms any other stove I have seen in heat. Can cook anything on it. Just be mindful of correct feeding of fuel. Get yourself an EZKut ratcheting pruner to cut your fuel with. Makes it fun and easy. After camp is set up I browse around… Full review
The BioLite campstove is small and very portable. The best thing about it is that you use wood to cook, so no packing in fuel canisters. It also has awesome accessories. You can even charge your phone or GPS via USB. The BioLite CampStove sets up in seconds. If you can build a fire, you're good to go. It has two speeds, low and high. The fan helps burn the wood very efficiently with minimum smoke. It holds a pan very well and can boil water in just a few minutes. The battery/fan assembly fits right… Full review
A kettle with a built-in thermoelectric generator that can charge USB-powered devices off-grid. Heat water, get a charge. A superb option for emergency use during power outages and something to consider for multi-day basecamp expeditions, but likely too much weight to justify its presence on most backpacking trips.

The present invention relates generally to computer systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for pivotably securing a display to a base of a computer system.
The typical notebook computer has a base that houses most of the electronics and a display enclosure that houses a display. The base is typically placed on a flat surface to operate the notebook computer. The base and display enclosure are hinged so that the display can be pivoted relative to the base to a desired viewing position. To stow the computer, the display is pivoted so that the display enclosure and base are folded against one another to protect the display during movement of the computer. One or more latches are used to hold the display and base in the stowed position. A two-step process typically is followed to place the computer in operation from the stowed position. First, the latches are operated to enable the display enclosure to be pivoted and, second, the display is pivoted to a desired position. Latch mechanisms, however, tend to be small features that protrude from the display enclosure. Consequently, they can be easily damaged due to handling.
Additionally, the display enclosure hinges often incorporate friction clutches that require significant force applied by the user to pivot the display enclosure. The friction holds the display enclosure in the desired angular position during operation. As the display panels have become increasingly larger, the amount of force required to maintain a display in a desired position has increased. Depending on the weight and size of the base, the user may need to hold the base down with one hand while pivoting the display enclosure with the other hand to ensure the base is not lifted from the surface on which it is resting.
Therefore, a need exists for a simpler technique for securing a pivotable display to a base. Specifically, a need exists for a technique that securely maintains a pivotable display in a desired angular position while also enabling the display to be pivoted easily when desired.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a computer having a base and a display is featured. The display is pivotable relative to the base over a range of motion. The computer has a securing mechanism that pivotably secures the display to the base. The securing mechanism utilizes a portion that produces an opposing force to pivotal motion of the display throughout a range of motion. The securing mechanism also has a device operable to prevent the assembly from opposing pivotal motion of the display housing.
According to another aspect of the present invention, an assembly for pivotably securing a computer display to a computer base unit is featured. The assembly has a hinge mechanism to enable the computer display to pivot relative to the computer base unit. The assembly also has an opposition member that produces a force to oppose pivotal motion of the display. Also, a clutch is operable to prevent the opposition member from opposing pivotal motion of the display.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of operating a computer system is featured. The computer system has a base unit, a pivotable display, and a device that produces a frictional force to oppose pivotable motion of the display. The method comprises operating a clutch assembly to reduce the frictional force opposing pivotable motion of the display. The method also comprises pivoting the display to a desired position.
The invention will hereafter be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote like elements, and:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer system, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of a notebook computer, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the notebook computer of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view, taken generally along line 4—4 of FIG. 3, illustrating an electrically operated clutch for a hinge assembly operating in a high-friction mode;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view, taken along line 4—4 of FIG. 3, illustrating an electrically operated clutch for a hinge assembly operating in a low-friction mode;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a mechanically operated clutch for a hinge assembly operating in a high-friction mode; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a mechanically operated clutch for a hinge assembly operating in a low-friction mode.
Referring generally to FIG. 1, a block diagram is illustrated depicting an exemplary computer system, generally designated by the reference numeral 10. The computer system 10 may be any of a variety of different types, such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a workstation, etc.
Computer system 10 comprises a processor 12 to control the function of the computer. Computers also typically require a power supply 14. The power supply 14 of, for example, a notebook computer typically uses a rechargeable battery to enable the computer to be portable. Various additional devices are usually coupled to the processor 12, depending on the desired functions of the device 10. For instance, a user interface 16 may be coupled to the processor 12 to allow an operator to control some or all of the functions of the computer. Examples of user interfaces include a keyboard, a mouse, or a joystick. A monitor 18 is used to allow an operator to view visual information generated by the computer. A communications port 20 may be coupled to processor 12 to enable the computer 10 to communicate with peripheral devices 22, such as a modem, a printer, or another computer.
Software programming is typically used to control the operation of a processor and this software programming is typically stored in electronic memory. There are several different types of electronic memory available for use in computers. For example, the processor 12 may be coupled to volatile memory 24. Volatile memory may include dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and/or static random access memory (SRAM). The processor 12 also can be coupled to non-volatile memory 26. Non-volatile memory 26 may include a read only memory (ROM), such as an EPROM, to be used in conjunction with the volatile memory. Also, the non-volatile memory 26 may comprise a high capacity memory such as a disk or tape drive memory.
Referring generally to FIG. 2, an exemplary portable computer 28, e.g., a notebook computer, having a base 30 and a display enclosure 32 is illustrated. The base 30 houses a processor, memory, and other electronic components to enable the computer to operate. Additionally, the base houses a keyboard 34 and a mouse pad 36. The display enclosure 32 houses a display 38, such as a flat screen. Display 38 is pivotally secured to base 30 so that the display 38 may be pivoted to a desired angular position relative to base 30. This enables a user to position display 38 to the optimal position for viewing.
Referring generally to FIG. 3, the display enclosure 32 is secured to the base 30 by two hinge assemblies 40. Each hinge assembly 40 has a first member 42, a second member 44, and a clutch assembly 46. The first member 42 is secured to the display enclosure 32 and the second member 44 is secured to the base 30. In this embodiment, threaded fasteners 48 are used to secure the first and second members to the display enclosure 32 and base 30, respectively. However, other techniques for securing the first and second members to the disclosure 32 and base 30, respectively, may be utilized.
Each hinge assembly 40 is configured so the first member 42 is pivotally secured to the second member 44, enabling the display 38 to pivot relative to the base 30. The clutch assembly 46 controls the amount of friction that is produced between the first and second member during pivotal movement of the display 38. Friction between the first and second members is used to hold the display 38 at a desired angular position relative to the base 30.
Referring again to FIG. 2, the hinge assemblies 40 have a high-friction mode of operation and a low-friction mode of operation. In the high-friction mode, the friction between the first member 42 and the second member 44 maintains the display enclosure 32 securely positioned at any angular position relative to base 30. In the exemplary embodiment, the high-friction mode is the normal mode of operation of the hinge assemblies 40. The low-friction mode is initiated to facilitate repositioning of the display enclosure 32 relative to the base 30.
In the illustrated embodiment, the low-friction mode is initiated by actuating a clutch operator 50 located on the display enclosure 32. The clutch operator 50 may be a sliding switch, a push button, etc., that is coupled to the clutch assembly 46. When clutch operator 50 is actuated, the clutch assembly 46 reduces the friction between the first member 42 and the second member 44 enabling the display 38 to be repositioned more easily.
The two modes of operation provide an additional benefit in that the friction between base 30 and display enclosure 32 can be made greater than would normally be feasible. The higher friction enables the display enclosure 32 to be more securely maintained in a desired position. Normally, high friction between display enclosure 32 and base 30 makes it difficult for the display enclosure 32 to be repositioned, or at least be repositioned easily. However, because the hinge assembly can be placed in a low-friction mode during repositioning, higher friction between the base 30 and display enclosure 32 can be utilized.
Referring generally to FIG. 4, a cross-sectional view of one exemplary hinge assembly 40 is illustrated. In the illustrated embodiment, an electro-magnetic coil 52 is used to operate the clutch assembly 46. A first threaded fastener 54 and a second threaded fastener 56 secure the coil 52 to second member 44. Electricity is supplied to coil 52 by electrical wiring 58 extending from inside the base 30. The wiring may be routed to coil 52 in a variety of ways, such as through hinge assembly 40.
In the illustrated embodiment, a portion 60 of the second member forms an axle to enable the first member 42 to rotate about the second member 44. Additionally, in the illustrated embodiment, a beveled washer 62 is disposed between a flanged portion 64 of the first threaded fastener 54 and a generally flat washer 66 is disposed between the beveled washer 62 and the first member 42.
The hinge assembly 40 is configured so that the beveled washer 62 normally applies a force to drive the flat washer 66 against the first member 42 and, subsequently, to drive the first member 42 against the second member 44. The force of the first member 42 abutting against the second member produces friction between the inner surface 68 of the first member 42 and the outer surface 70 of the second member 44 during the high-friction mode of operation. The force of the beveled washer 62 also produces a gap 72 between the flat washer 66 and the coil 52 during the high-friction mode of operation.
In this embodiment, the flat washer 66 is comprised of a metallic material. When clutch operator 50 is activated, electric power is applied to coil 52. A magnetic field is produced by coil 52 that attracts the flat washer 66 towards coil 52 as illustrated in FIG. 5. The attractive force produced by the coil 52 is greater than the force produced by the beveled washer 62, driving the flat washer 66 towards coil 52, as represented by the arrows 74. The flat washer 66 closes the gap 72 between flat washer 66 and coil 52, compressing the beveled washer 62 and producing a gap 76 between the flat washer 66 and the first member 42. Consequently, the force driving first member 42 against second member 44 is removed.
When the movement of flat washer 66 produces a gap 78 between the first member 42 and the second member 44, there is no friction produced between the inner portion 68 of first member 42 and outer portion 70 of second member 44 during movement of display 38. However, even if the inner and outer portions remain in contact, the frictional force produced between the first and second members is reduced when the force of the beveled washer 62 acting on the first member 42 is removed, making pivotal movement of display 38 easier.
By way of example, the first member 42 and second member 44 are comprised of a light-weight plastic material. Alternatively, a portion of the first member 42 may be comprised of a metallic material so that the magnetic field generated by coil 52 pulls the first member 42 away from the second member 44 to produce gap 78 between the first and second members. Alternatively, the flat washer 66 may be secured to the first member 42 so that the first member 42 is moved with the flat washer 66.
Referring generally to FIG. 6, clutch assembly 46 also may be mechanically operated. In the illustrated embodiment, hinge assembly 40 has a threaded member 80, a movable member 82, and a spring 84. The threaded member 80 is affixed to the second member 44. Threaded member 80 also has a hollow interior 86 to house a cylindrical portion 88 of the movable member 82. The moveable member 82 also has a flanged portion 90.
Spring 84 is secured to fixed member 80 and movable member 82 and applies a force to pull flanged portion 90 against first member 42, forcing first member 42 against second member 44 and producing friction between first member 42 and second member 44. In the illustrated embodiment, the clutch operator 50 is mechanically coupled to a cam 92. When the clutch operator is activated, it causes the cam 92 to rotate. As the cam 92 is rotated, the cam 92 drives the movable member 82 linearly. In this view, cam 92 is illustrated in the high-friction mode. The cam is oriented in a first orientation 94 in the high-friction mode.
Referring generally to FIG. 7, when operator 50 is actuated, cam 92 is rotated to a second orientation 96, driving the surface of cam 92 against the cylindrical portion 88 of movable member 82. The force applied by cam 92 drives movable member 82 linearly to the left in this view, as illustrated by the arrows 98, producing a gap 100 between the flanged portion 90 and first member 42 and reducing the friction between first member 42 and second member 44. A gap 102 may be produced between first member 42 and second member 44. However, regardless of whether a gap 102 is produced between first member 42 and second member 44, friction is reduced between first member 42 and second member 44.
It will be understood that the foregoing description is of preferred embodiments of this invention, and that the invention is not limited to the specific forms shown. For example, a spring may be utilized rather than a beveled washer in an electrically operated clutch. These and other modifications may be made in the design and arrangement of the elements without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

Looking to move beyond chest-strapped heart monitors or step counters, Basis is currently perfecting the technologies of their upcoming Basis Band, which is the next evolution of health monitoring watches. Rather than just be satisfied with getting rid of the chest strap that is required for heart monitors, Basis has packed the Basis Band with numerous sensors that will help the wearer get a much fuller picture of his or her health and activity as a whole.
Galvanic skin sensors, a three-dimensional accelerometer and temperature monitors, as well as the previous-mentioned heart monitor and step counter, will help users gauge just how effective their workouts and activities are, allowing the wearer to modify her or his routines to maximize efficiency. Likewise, the Basis Band is actually looking to be a rather good look watch, meaning monitoring ones health wont have to come at the expense of fashion.

Watch them run for their lives.
Wont let mechanic do his job.
Wants the iPad fishes.
Can't even get off the bookshelf.
How many kittens do you see, in this video?
Refuses to wake up.
Is clearly plotting something.
Plays dead on command.
This cutie is completely content, just having his ears rubbed.
This little guy doesn't want to lose his box.
Gets spanked by its father.
Seems genuinely happy.
Seriously, I love 'em...but not for their intelligence.
Can barely stay awake.
Is hypnotized.
Decides it's nap time.
Acting cute.
Here's an Ostrich attacking a kid. We hope the thing just ate him.
I Wanna puppy, I wanna puppy, I wanna puppy!!!!
Gets dramatic.
Look at his little scrunched up face...playing with his own reflection.

Comments about 'Teen employment hits record lows, suggesting lost generation'

Welcome to the Obama economy.
Employers have no motivation to add jobs due to taxes and costly mandates (Obamacare especially) which make it difficult to remain profitable. Unlike the government, an unprofitable business must go out of business, so spare me the "social responsibility" arguments.
The new norm will be part time jobs, but the "good" news is that it will increase the total number or people working, making Obama look good.
Part of the problem is that the liberal welfare plantation programs have killed the incentive for many people to work at all, when it pays more to live off the public than the sweat of one's own brow. Throw in failing schools where even graduates are ill-prepared for any job, and the collapse of the family, especially in urban areas, and the traditional foundations for a work oriented society have been steadily eroded.
Eliminate Obamacare and the minimum wage and teen employment would increase dramatically.

How pathetic that some people stoop to such nonsensical leaps to express their
hatred for the President of the US.
"Eliminate Obamacare and the minimum wage and teen employment would increase dramatically"?
Seriously? You are trying to blame low teen employment on Healthcare reform?
DN editorial people, why don't we wait until a comment comes along that actually has some credibility, instead of posting such drivel as the one we see above.

I find it interesting that they call from this data a so called "lost
generation". In this area, jobs that were traditionally the target of
teens (fast food for example) are now occupied largely by immigrant labor. Add
to that the fact that many of the other jobs - I used to mow lawns for extra
money - parents contract out to services to do their lawns rather than have
their kids perform those jobs.
There is a whole cultural shift in what kids think are "teen" jobs. They also have a lot more diversions than I did when I was a kid - EFY, sports camps, youth conference for example - that fewer in this area sought summer jobs. Many don't have the time for, or the need for summer jobs.
It would be interesting to dig deeper into the numbers and see how many looked... how many refused work they didn't like... and how many wanted, but could not find.
"Eliminate Obamacare and the minimum wage and teen employment would increase dramatically."
I thought Obamacare was the reason part time jobs were expanding... not decreasing.... I guess consistency is highly over rated.

How is it surprising that the higher the income the child comes from the more
likely it is that they work?
All sorts of factors would point to this.
1. Higher income families have higher expectations, this translates to their kids have higher expectations.
2. Higher income families are more likely to hire the kids themselves.
3. Higher income families generally have children in better schools who produce students that are better employees.
4. Lower income families are more likely to have a welfare mentality and are used to not working.
5. Lower income families live in areas that have higher addiction to various vice and gang affiliaition and this takes out large % of the workforce out of contention of many jobs.
The list goes on an on.
Not really surprising at all.

Jenny Adair is a graduate of the University of Arkansas with a B.A. degree in Journalism which she engaged in while her husband was in law school and later in Paragould working at local radio stations as a copy writer. After teaching high school for 8 years (and receiving her teaching certificate at Lyon College in Batesville), she and her husband moved to Little Rock and she finished her Master's in Gifted and Talented Education at UALR. Jenny says, "I spent many hours in the library and looking up information on microfiche. I loved driving to campus after teaching all day and even worked in SLUFFY for two summers. I completed my career as Director of the Child Development Center in downtown Little Rock, and worked part-time as a consultant for ASU, so I pretty much love the higher institutions of learning. Now it is my turn to give back!"

Not as good as a little princess but if you liked a little princess you will like this. A few typos ,but even Ermengarde would understand what the typos really were supose to spell.
I read this book about 18 years ago. It was then called Sara Crew. I read it so many times it fell apart. I am now getting it for my daughter to read. A classic from generation to generation.
The book that I read was Sara Crewe and it was the best book I have ever read. This book can be for all ages. This book is based on a little girl named Sara who moved cause her parents died. She moved to a how with two sisters a mother and a maid. At that point she was happy.

Guest on The Infra Blog: Howard Jennings, Managing Director, Mobility LabThursday, May 26th, 2016
Howard Jennings is Managing Director of Mobility Lab, a source of research and best practices for advocates to increase awareness and education about more and advanced transportation options for people.
"The basic infrastructure is something that people find pretty easy to take for granted, and it creeps up on them and they don't realize that it's getting worse and worse and worse. And so we at Mobility Lab are trying to put the emphasis back on helping people recognize that their quality of life is eroding and their ability to spend time with their family, the stress of their day-to-day lives and all these things are a result of our collective failure to invest in infrastructure…"

The objective of the study was not to forecast the future, but to frame the possibilities and thus to inform the public and policy makers about future needs for transportation infrastructure.
A National Strategy for Energy Security: The Innovation RevolutionTuesday, May 24th, 2016
Too often, America's exposure to the risks of oil dependence has been measured by consumers and
policymakers as a function of the price of oil at a specific point in time or our level of reliance on foreign
suppliers. The result has been long periods of inaction and inattention after each crisis, which simply
leaves the country dangerously exposed for the inevitable next crisis. The risk of such complacence
today is high. Low oil prices have reduced the sense of urgency shared throughout the country as
recently as 2014. Yet just as it has been so many times before, the oil market is in the midst of a cycle.
We must be better prepared when the tide once again turns.
The True Cost of Fossil FuelsMonday, May 23rd, 2016
The reduction of pollution and climate impact through rapidly increased use of renewable energy by 2030 could save up to USD 4.2 trillion per year worldwide, 15 times the associated costs of doubling the share of renewables. Today's energy markets, however, do not adequately value climate impact or air pollution. Energy and environmental policies need to correct for these externalities.
Bridging the Gap Together: A New Model to Modernize U.S. InfrastructureThursday, May 19th, 2016
We have an extraordinary opportunity in America — to confront the pressure being placed on our nation's roads, water systems, ports, airports, and energy grid with available private capital. This report establishes the framework to unite projects that need funding with private capital ready to invest in a transparent system that allocates risks and resources to the public's benefit.
Paying for Local Infrastructure in a New Era of FederalismWednesday, May 18th, 2016
Most cities are limited in terms of the number and scope of infrastructure funding tools. Cities also face additional implementation hurdles like county administration overlays and voter approval requirements. Of course, cities are marrying the tools explored here with others, but a patchwork of tactics will only take them so far. Cities need a more deliberate approach that recognizes the central role of infrastructure in the success of our nation's economic engines…This report presents a state-by-state analysis and comparison of the local tools to fund infrastructure, including local option taxes and fees, such as sales taxes, fuel taxes and motor vehicle fees, as well as emerging mechanisms like state infrastructure banks and public-private partnerships.

"What we've seen is that people really want to be in places, whether they're young or old, that are safe, that are fun, where the quality of life is good and they've got lots of ways to get around that don't involve driving…I think that what we need to do is also update our cities and update our streets to reflect the way that people want to use them."View this complete post...
National Parks and Infrastructure: Should Park Funding be a Private Affair?Tuesday, May 17th, 2016
To keep parks open, we have to find a sustainable funding source for maintenance and operations. If Congress can't approve more appropriations for the parks, the NPS will be forced to make systemic changes. The slope is already sliding toward private investment, but it's up to the American people (and policymakers) to decide what will ultimately happen.View this complete post...

I have been going to Dr. Simotas for six years now and think she is wonderful. She not only takes her time with you in the exam room but also emails you back and returns your phone calls the same day! I think the person who said she was pissed that the doctor didn't tell her she was pregnant is being very unfair. I always knew when she was pregnant. But peopel usually don't reveal their preganancy until they are sure it is ok. A lot of people miscarry early. I think its' funny that this person picked a doctor who does vagnial g spot enhancements which is total BS-- so hey good luck with that. I love Dr. Simotas--she is not only professiona but also actually takes time emailing her patients and calling us back. You will have a hard time ever finding that!

I decided to stay with her, she took care of it, and I can still have children in the near future. As for the staff, they are always very helpful and the assitant to Dr. Fogiel is very knowlegable in answering every question I had. The other assitants and nurses are very nice and always help the patients in any needs.
I saw Victoria, Lyane and Dr. Beard today. The team eas excellent and caring. They explained every step of the visit and at every point asked if I was OK and comfortable. Dr. Beard performed some in-house surgery and she was gentle and patient as well as careful. The best part of the visit was that she sat with me in her office and just chatted about my health concerns and that was calming and helped to build a rapport between us. That was especially appreciated because she is dealing with a private and intimate body part. Excellent experience.

At least six people were feared dead on Saturday after a police helicopter crashed into a packed Glasgow pub.
Police have confrimed one death and the the toll is expected to climb, officials said Saturday.
As specialist search and rescue teams continued to probe the wreckage of The Clutha pub, Chief Constable Stephen House confirmed that overnight 32 people were taken by ambulance to hospitals in following the crash.
"Sadly at this time I can also confirm one fatality," he told reporters. "We expect that number to increase over the coming hours."
House said specialist teams are working to make sure everyone is recovered from the scene, where revelers were packed into the pub to hear a local ska band when the helicopter crashed through the roof.
Police couldn't say whether people were still trapped inside the pub, but the hope is to find survivors, he said.
"Highly trained firefighters from all over Scotland are carrying out rescue operations at the scene," House said. "They are continuing to make the building safe to allow full examination of the scene to ensure that everyone is recovered."
Sky News, citing unidentified sources, said there were at least six fatalities. There were three people aboard the helicopter.
"A full investigation is now under way. However, at this early stage it is too early to provide details on why the helicopter came down," said Deputy Chief Constable Rose Fitzpatrick.
"We are working hard to recover people still inside the building and we will make further details available when we have them."
As dawn broke, emergency workers were still labouring to free any people trapped in the rubble. The mangled helicopter was embedded in the pub's roof.
"We are in the process of making the building safe, it's very unsafe," said Assistant Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay, adding that rescue workers had been in contact with those trapped.
Witnesses described scenes of horror as the 12-metre helicopter carrying two police officers and a civilian pilot spiralled into the pub in a busy area of Scotland's biggest city, destroying part of the roof.
"It was fairly busy, we were all having a nice time and then there was like a whoosh noise," Grace MacLean, who was in the pub at the time told the BBC.
"There was no bang, no explosion and then there was what seemed like smoke and we were all joking that the band had made the roof come down and then it started to come down more and someone started screaming and the whole pub filled with dust and you couldn't see anything, you couldn't breath."
Police said it was too early to speculate on what caused the Eurocopter EC135 T2, made by a subsidiary of EADS, to smash into the pub.
The helicopter did not appear to have caught fire. The Air Accident Investigation Branch has begun an investigation.
"It looked to me like there would have been significant casualties from the speed the helicopter fell from the sky," said Gordon Smart, editor of the Scottish Sun newspaper who saw the crash.
"The sight of a helicopter falling from the sky will never leave me," he told the BBC.
There were around 100 people in the pub, listening to a concert by local band Esperanza.
"Our only concern now is for the safety and welfare of those less fortunate than ourselves," the band said on its Facebook website.
Caked in dust and blood, revellers rushed out into the street immediately after the crash.
Arriving by chance at the scene, a local member of parliament, Jim Murphy, said people had run to help rescue those inside.
"It's a horrible, horrible scene, but well done to the folk who were here. Everyone formed a chain of people from inside the pub to outside, and the fire brigade and everyone were here very quickly," said Murphy, who had blood on his shirt.
Photos taken at the scene by Twitter user Wesley Shearer showed a helicopter smashed into the roof of The Clutha pub. Emergency workers can be seen near the pub's door:
