Suspicious Letter Found in Highway Safety Building
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 10:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 10:40 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE | State and local authorities are examining a state agency building after a suspicious letter was discovered.
Roughly 1,500 employees were forced to evacuate the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Safety Vehicles building on Monday. The office is nearly four miles east of the Florida Capitol.
A Tallahassee Fire Department official told reporters that an envelope was found in the records office that said there was anthrax inside. But nothing was inside the envelope, which was addressed to the executive director of the agency.
Employees have been told to return to the building later today.
The letter is going to be handed over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for further examination. The seven employees who work in the office are being examined for any signs of contamination.

So let me start this by saying I'm new at investing in bond ETFs. I'm a conservative (read: safe) investor, so buying this ETF was quite a stretch for me. But... like many people, I needed to replace lost interest income somehow.
I bought shares in JNK because of the high yield (to replace expiring CDs from a couple years ago). I have been happy with the return I've made so far in dividends, however in the short time I've been in JNK, the share price hasn't really moved much either up or down. I'm ok with that, I just like the dividends in my account each month.
But now I've reached the limit of my understanding of changing interest rates on bond ETFs.
It appears the Fed is laying groundwork to raise interest rates sometime in the next year.
How will these interest rate increases affect the share price of JNK? And the yield of JNK?
An investment newsletter that I read often recently recommended pulling back from corporate bonds and moving into government bonds. This makes sense to me if the Fed follows through on raising rates and CDs begin to pay again. I don't really want to be in JNK any longer than I have to be, so my thinking is that if rising interest rates will lower the share price and/or yield of JNK, then my plan would be to pull back now while I still have all my principal and move to a government bond investment (ETF or mutual fund) until rates on CDs move back up. Then I'd get back into CDs and sleep a little easier each night.
I'm interested to hear from folks who know and understand this market a whole lot better than I do.
Here is a comparison between the ten year bond interest rates and vanguard high yield bond fund:
JNK does have enough history buy JNK should have a high degree of correlation with VWEHX.
As you can see high yield bonds do not track interest rates as much as they track credit quality.
IRX -> 90 day treasury
TNX -> 10 year
VWEHX -> proxy for jnk with some long term data.
damn yahoo !!!
The link is broken.
Here cut and paste this thing in:
Saw that today. Rather timely, I thought.
Interest rates and bond prices move in opposite directions. So when the Fed moves to raise interest rates via open market operations, that will tend to decrease bond prices in all sectors be they government or corporate.
Now, how much bond prices move is a concept known as duration. It's slight complicated to figure out exactly but for our purposes keep in mind this concept: Duration is affected by the two L's. The Longer a bond has until maturity and the Lower it's coupon payment the more it will be affected by interest rates. High yield bonds have high coupon payments (the "high" in high yield) so they're less sensitive to interest rate movements than bonds with the same maturity that pay a lower coupon rate.
Morningstar has also provided this risk graph http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=JNK which shows JNK has a "medium" (whatever that means) sensitivity to interest rate movements.
So the upshot to all of this? An rise in interest rates will decrease the price of bonds but less so for high yield bonds. This will be slight bearish for JNK.
OK, so now we're getting somewhere.
When interest rates rise, bond prices decline.
That tells me that when the Fed eventually gets around to raising rates this year, the prices of the underlying bonds in JNK will decrease, and this in turn should decrease the ETF share price, although this reaction may be more muted for high yield bonds than for other bonds, as pointed out above.
A lower price on JNK must increase the yield (right?), so if we're heading into a period of incremental increases in rates (say the reverse of the decreases in '08, where they went down in rapid intervals but with small changes), then the short term strategy for JNK this year would be to sit on the sidelines until rates stabilize or possibly to play the trade around the dividend date (I've noticed that going on, but it's not 100% consistent every dividend).
But I'm not really a trader. Don't have the time to really be able to do that. Too much going on with job, kids, community, etc.
So I'm thinking then that I should sell portions of my holdings in JNK into something more stable (but what?) over the next few months, then wait for rates to stabilize on the up side. Once there, possibly get back in to JNK in dribs and drabs as part of a more balanced bond portfolio.
Does this sound sensible?
Thanks for the insightful replies.
It might help if you think of JNK moving like the stock market. The movement of JNK is very closely correlated to stocks. What is good for stocks is good for JNK. However, JNK is not as risky as stocks. It will not go down as much as stocks and will not go up as much either. Think of your return as being the 10% - 12% interest every year. Reinvest a little of your interest every year and grow your capital some. Don't try to time the market. Just buy and hold. This is one way to look at it. Hope it helps.
Agreed. I am just glad I first bought into JNK in March of last year. Have added some more twice since then, including last week. Whenever it gets below the target allocation percentage in my portfolio is when I add more (that is if another component is not even further below its target allocation), using a "rebalancing with new money" strategy.
In a rising interest rate environment you are certainly safer in JNK then Gov bonds. You want to be long Gov bonds in a declining or weak economy. The fed isn't going to be jacking up rates in a weakening economy. In my opinion, the time for government bonds is past. What high yield bonds needs to succeed is a robust economy more than an acommodative fed.
If you are a typical low risk bond investor you should be mainly be in well rated coporates now and use only small amout of JNK for a little kick but not a substatial part of your bond portfolio.
I will take a 10% -12% MONTHLY dividend any day! As long as you have a STOP LOSS on JNK (and everything else, I might add!), you'll be o.k. even if it drops like a rock. Also, to be honest, I don't really care about the PRICE of the ETF...just the dividend payment each month. JNK has been very very good to me!!!
First, I'm not sure I'm any wiser than you, but I'll give your request a try.
Second, although there is some logic and history in this post never forget that Ms Market can do anything she wants, and she will.
Third, your post discussed corporate bonds and treasuries. I don't regard JNK as either, I think JNK is junk bonds as opposed to higher rated corporates. When people say "corporates" I think of investment grade corporate bonds or investment grade bond funds.
Finally: When interest rates rise it means that some money will flow to the investments that are now yielding higher returns. That's not going to happen much w the discount rate change because there aren't a lot of bank funds tied to the discount rate. In principle I'd expect no effect, or a small effect, on JNK; however, the market may panic and JNK may get dragged along with it.
Then there will be the cases where the FMOC raises short term rates - and that's going to happen at some point in our future. As the Fed increases short term rates banks will increase short term rates on demand deposits, CDs, etc - so money will flow from say bonds back to those insured investments. It's a competition for funds thing. The bonds and bond funds that will get hit first and hardest will be those that pay nearly what the new rate is (i.e. low yielding bonds & bond funds) even though they are better investments (i.e. higher rated) than junk, because the INSURED yields from banks will be more attractive than the relatively secure but relatively low yielding "investment grade" bonds. People will not be interested in buying low yielding bonds or bond funds, so their prices will drop. So low yielding bonds will be most affected by increases in the Fed rates. High yielding bonds will also be affected, but not as much, because there is still a big incentive to stay in them - they will still have much higher yields. Also, when the Fed raises rates it means that business conditions are improving, which should translate to lower bond defaults, which is good for junk bonds - defaults are an issue for junk bonds but not as much an issue for higher grade corporate bonds.
Bottom line: I expect JNK to be affected by rate increases, but affected less than other bond categories. I do NOT think treasuries are a good idea. Yields on treasuries are at historic lows and have nowhere to go but up, which means their price will decline (their coupon is fixed, if the rate on a bond increases the price has to decline). If I were very worried about losing money in the transition (i.e. as the Fed hikes rates) I might go to cash and just wait for things to settle down. But personally, I think JNK will do OK, if you are in it for the divys. If you are in JNK for it's price, the price may gyrate around significantly, dunno, and you might (or might not) be better in cash.
Take a real world case: Today you might get 1% on a CD, but JNK yields 12% - you want the yield so you went with JNK. Suppose the Fed FMOC doubles it's rate to 2%, which is a big jump, now your choice is 2% in a CD or 12% with JNK - what will you do? A lot of people will stay with JNK even though the Fed rate has doubled. JNK is risker, but you are being paid to take that risk. Finally, suppose Paul Volcker was in charge of the Fed and they raised interest rates to say 10% - i.e. you could get an insured CD that yielded 10%; would you stay in JNK at 12% vs an insured CD at 10% - you might get out of JNK and go for the insured CD. My point is, you have to be paid to take the incremental risk of holding JNK vs an insured CD, but with a 10+% yield differential you are being well paid. Disclosure: I'm holding JNK.
Great wishful thinking. I'm 1/3 invested in junk bond CEF, namely PHT, which steered clear of financials, still a bubble investment--JNK MUST by definition contain losers--I'd rather vette each investment--and PHT wins handsown at 11% return only from investment cash flow 8 years, NOT return of capital.
NONETHELESS, Bernookie pops irates a simple 1/4, the market will discount the other 4.25% immediately, and down we go the other side of the W.
Junk included.
Actually I would expect JNK to increase in price if the economy continues to improve, which would be the likely cause of interest rates going up. More than half of the yield on the underlying bonds can be thought of as a risk premium. You are paid a high interest rate because there is a significant chance that the companies backing the bonds will default. However, if the economy improves it follows that companies backing these bonds will perform better and there will be less default risk. Thus the default premium will go down (i.e., bonds will pay a lower interest rate). Since bonds pay a fixed level of interest, a lower interest rate corresponds to a higher price for the bonds. Another way of saying this is that if the economy improves junk bonds will become less junky and they will pay interests rates closer to treasury. I think the real risk of holding this fund is that if the economy tanks, so will this fund. So this is really a bet on the economy. Good prospects for the economy translates to good performance for JNK. Of course if economy stays level or worse and treasury rates rise, this would be really bad for JNK. Of course under such a scenario, all bets are off on any investment.
Nice reply, I like your train of thought dclewis, one thing at the end, if a CD was equal to 10% I would think JNK rates would rise beyond 12% eventually as well.
Generally, I agree with the points you made. It's very difficult to estimate/predict future valuations of these JNK bonds, given all the variables you mentioned. Because of the fluctuation in JNK's over these two years (from $45 down to $25, and then back up to $40 or so), I do think you need to consider total return (div + price) on this investment. I can imagine some investors really got burned during the first year of JNK's inception.
I think most would conclude that JNK's price in the Fall of 08 and the Spring of 09 were outliers (as was much of the market), but JNK is still relatively volatile for a bond fund, even after factoring out the two outlier periods I mentioned. Because of this volatility, I've traded in/out of JNK more than I anticipated. A 12% annual div paid out monthly sure is tempting, I have to admit, but I'm unwilling to give up much if any principal in pursuing this little pot of gold at the end of each month. And like many of you investors, I'm nervous over whether the good times in price and div payments will continue to roll.
Lately (last 6 months or so), I've been buying in a week or so after ex-div, and then selling a few days b/f the next ex-div, if I see the JNK price starting to drift down. If JNK holds up in price, I'll hold on for a div. This "strategy" might seem odd (foolish?), but I seem to be doing a little better that just holding on through each ex-div. Some buyers want to get in just b/f the div, and some seem to sell just after the div (there's also some arbitrage going on I realize). I just don't see how they're really making much with that approach. It seems better to do the reverse as I've done (buy after ex-div, and sell just before ex/div).
If one intends to trade like this, you might also wonder why not just buy/sell stocks instead. But of course stocks don't pay monthly div's, so it doesn't work as well. I should mention that I buy 1k lots, and never hold more than 3k at a time. I suppose another way to look at this is why tie up $120k in funds for an entire 30 day period when pay-day (ex div) only occurs on one of those days each month, and you earn the full div regardless of whether you held JNK the entire 30 days or just the one day (ex-div day).
Btw, I'm holding this in a 401k so I'm loath to loose principal and don't especially care whether I make it in div or cap gains. I looked into buying options as a hedge, and then just hold JNK, but I think the premiums are a bit too high on the put side (6-7% for Jun 10 $38 strike).
So for me, I will trade in/out if I think I can do as well or better than the normal div and be sufficiently agile to avoid any downdrafts
That is what I was thinking. Corporate and Junk bonds, especially those with a longer time to maturity, would be less affected by the short rates than the short term treasuries.
In fact, the longer term bonds may be helped by this short term interest rate increase. Longer term bond rates and prices are influenced by anticipated inflation in the future. Higher short rates makes the US$ strengthen and is seen as a way to fight future inflation, so that may be why JNK is up today, along with general bullishness in the market.
I first bought JNK in March of last year. Got it cheap. Yield is down from there, but the dollar payout has not decreased by any significant amount. The strengthening economic situation may mean that the debtors on the bonds that make up JNK may be in a better position to keep up payments.
Were up today with the Fed rate increase yesterday..Maybe it has to due with Bond ratings getting better as the economy digs out??
As far as I understand it, the interest rate for corporate bonds depends primarily on the credit rating of the corporation. The fed rate is only a small portion of this currently. For example, if the fed raises rates from 0.25% to 0.5%, a company that would have to pay 8.25% for a loan will have to pay 8.5% in the future. That's something like a 3% difference. It will have an effect of existing bond prices, but it won't be as dramatic as for lower yielding bonds.
Hard to say but remember one thing about Junk Funds... when panic sets in they drop like a rock so be sure to set a stop. They creep up slow but they drop like a rock when the plug is pulled. All I am saying is check it everyday.. this is not a fund to buy and forget.
I been holding since I bought 3000 @ low $25 march last year. I do watch it everyday and I think it will hold its own for most of the year as far as I can think but with the Obama administration in power you never know.........
The CPI for 2009 was up 2.7%..If you held a CD during this period you probally lost money.

For the most part, once an astronaut always an astronaut, provided your physical and mental health hold up. But that's not a guarantee.
If and when you choose to leave the job, there's still a bright future ahead. Where do astronauts go when the active missions end? Right back to what they were doing before they donned the space suit.
The military astronauts return to fighter jets and defense contracting, while the civilian crew can go back to engineering or physics or wherever else they came from. Astronauts might choose to hang around Mission Control doing experiments or giving talks about NASA and the space program.
Or you could run for office. If you can survive the never-ending void of space, you might be able to survive politics.

Fantasy & Science Fiction
How far would you go to make sure you had milk in your refrigerator? Might you outsmart a spaceship full of aliens looking to remodel your planet? Would you dare face off against bloodthirsty pirates? How about climbing into a time-traveling hot air balloon invented by a genius stegosaurus? Fortunately, the Milk, by Neil Gaiman has these things and so much more.
Sixth-grade graduation is not just about the punch and cookies in Janet Anderson's Going Through the Gate. In an incredibly small town with a one-room schoolhouse, only a handful of students graduate every June. They know their lives will change completely—but not for the reasons you'd think. Sure, they'll be taking the bus to the big city middle school and join a grade with hundreds of kids in it instead of just five. There's more to it than that though. The graduation itself can be dangerous.
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, by Grace Lin, is a gentle, wondrous Chinese fantasy book for children. Set in a long-ago times, it follows a brave and bright girl named Minli who lives with her parents in a poor farming village. There is barely enough rice to keep them fed and certainly not any for luxuries. Most all the people are downtrodden and worried about their daily lives, but not Minli. She does not like the hard work in the sticky, muddy rice fields, but every evening she can look forward to stories told by her beloved father.
These tales fill her heart and her mind in such a way that she becomes the most radiant and hopeful young girl living near Fruitless Mountain. Indeed, she is so hopeful that when a peddler comes to their village with bowls of lucky goldfish, she takes her small savings to buy one, with high expectations. But when no luck seems to come and her father starts sharing his small supper with the hungry fish, Minli knows she must let it go. Releasing it into the Jade River, a river created according to legend from the body of a grieving dragon, she is surprised when a sweet, high-pitched voice—the goldfish!—offers to help her find her fortune by telling her the way to Never-Ending-Mountain where lives the Old Man of the Moon. The Old Man knows all things, including how her family's fortune might be changed.
There are many fantasy books that lead you to other places filled with wizards, royalty, and magical creatures. They provide an escape for their readers. But what if the characters wanted to escape? The Great Good Thing, by Roderick Townley, is about a princess who wants something more out of her fairy tale life—if only she can get the chance.
For ages and ages, no one had opened the book. Just as Sylvia sat weeping in boredom by the edge of the lake, pleading for something to happen, a fan of light began opening in a corner of the sky, sending flashes of color across the water. "Rawwwk! Reader!" screamed an orange bird. "Boooook open! Ooopen! Boook open!" groaned a bullfrog.
Legends of Zita the Spacegirl is Ben Hatke's second comic book about a gutsy gal who just happens to be lost in the universe. Zita has already saved the planet Scriptorus and is now on a publicity tour, hopping from world to world to shake hands and answer questions from all sorts of alien beings.
"Irish businessman will pay large amount of U.S. dollars to meet a fairy, sprite, leprechaun, or pixie."
The ad was posted on the Internet. Indeed, it generated numerous fraudulent responses, but the person who placed it only needed one true lead for his purposes. He had studied all he could in the mundane world he inhabited, but he knew the important secrets of the Fairy would only be known by others of their kind in Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer.
After a wild goose chase in Cairo, at last the trail led to Ho Chi Minh City. Artemis Fowl the Second, latest in a thousand-year-old line of criminal masterminds, sweltered in the heat of a Vietnamese summer, carefully noting every detail of the passersby as he waited to make contact with his source. He was accompanied by his devoted servant, Butler, who served as confidante as well as being an amazingly lethal bodyguard.
It started as a a funny, little notion scrawled of a piece of scrap paper. "Mice have a culture all their own; Too small to integrate with other animals." Over the past decade, David Petersen's throwaway thought has emerged into a beautifully vivid adventure series that combines breathtaking action with gorgeous artwork. That series starts with Mouse Guard: Fall 1152.
The Mouse Guard are essentially wandering knights who serve a widespread kingdom. Mice have many natural predators and the guard has been established to protect citizens and keep the peace. But the kingdom is not simply threatened by snakes and owls. There are also enemies within.
Looking for a spooky story to read in October? Wait 'Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story, by Mary Downing Hahn, is a great book for brave readers ages 10 and up. It's narrated by 12-year-old Molly, who has moved into a new house out in the country with her 10-year-old brother Michael, her mom, her new stepdad, and his 7-year-old daughter, Heather. The home just happens to be a converted church bordering extensive grounds, ruins, and even a graveyard. Sounds like the perfect setting for something sinister to happen, right?
The young king Tamar was awakened in darkness by the sound of elephants in his courtyard. Their jeweled tusks and golden banners proclaimed them the property of a great maharajah. In short order, a dark figure strode into the palace and demanded an immediate audience.
Tamar sighed heavily.
As his tutor reminded him, the principles of Dharma--the code of honor, conscience, and the obligation to do what is royally virtuous, meant that he could not refuse an audience to another king, no matter the lateness of the hour. Indeed, in the long-ago world of ancient India recreated in Lloyd Alexander's The Iron Ring, a king's honor is his most important possession.
The mysterious visitor, King Jaya, ruled the distant land of Mahapura where, he grandly informed his host, all was much better than in Tamar's own kingdom of Sundari. Musicians, dancers, food, all were better in Mahapura, King Jaya purred. The only distraction he sought from Tamar was a simple game of aksha. Pure luck would determine the rolls of the dice.
In all hospitality, Tamar could not refuse, although the stakes Jaya proposed would have fed the court for a month. Die-roll after die-roll, Tamar won. Then the king of Mahapura yawned and made a final wager: "Life against life."
This time the dice seemed to jump from Tamar's fingers of their own accord.
"King of Sundari," Jaya said, "you have lost."
In Margaret Peterson Haddix's Found, Jonah Skidmore feels like an ordinary thirteen-year-old boy. His family consists of a slightly annoying but smart younger sister named Katherine and a mom and dad who love him unconditionally. Jonah is adopted and has known this fact for a while but it's never been a big deal for him because his parents have always been open about it to him. Life definitely feels normal for Jonah. That is, until the mysterious letter arrives--the letter that contains just six words: YOU ARE ONE OF THE MISSING. The letter does not contain a signature or a return address. Who sent it? Where did it come from? What does it mean?

Helly Hansen Summer Sailing Collection available now
by Jess Mulquiney on 25 Jan 2012
Jess Mulquiney
Sailors worldwide rely on Helly Hansen for formidable waterproof breathable protection on rough seas. When Thomas Coville attempted to single handedly sail around the world in record time he chose to wear Helly Hansen from head to toe to keep him dry, warm and comfortable no matter how high the waves rose.
The summer 2012 sailing collection which is available in stores and online now, offers all types of sailors this same protection. The range which features bright, bold and inspiring colours reflects Helly Hansen's commitment to not only developing products designed for high level professionals around the world, but reflect the brands strong Scandinavian heritage through its elegant and simple designs.
The Crew Midlayer Jacket is a transformable jacket suitable for the full range of sailing activities and conditions. The jacket which features Helly Tech Protection, 2 layer construction and a fleeced lined interior, pockets, and collar, ensures warmth and protection from spray without adding extra bulk. Designed to be worn as a midlayer in cooler the months, the jacket is also suitable for use in the summer months when used as a protective layer. The jackets simple design and fitted shape mean you can also wear it both on the water and in the clubhouse.

Brandy Sings On The Subway And No One Notices [VIDEO]

Brandy shows up on the train in New York and sings to no applause.
During the first half of 2012, the son of a preacher from Westlake, La., took us all to church every week on FOX's "American Idol," bringing soul, heart and an amazing talent to TV screens across the nation. In the process, he earned some of the best reviews of any competitor on 'Idol' in ages. He didn't take home the crown, but as it turns out, he didn't need it. With a voice like Joshua Ledet's, all you need is a stage.
As we reported yesterday, there's a better-than-even chance that 'American Idol' star Joshua Ledet will be returning to town on Saturday like the conquering hero he's become. First, he'll be here in our studios, then he'll be in a parade, then finally he'll give a live performance at Burton Coliseum.

Bosch Prostate Cancer Focus Group
Lab head: Chris Murphy
Location: F13 - Anderson Stuart Building
Lab members: S Assinder (senior), Q Dong (senior), C Murphy (senior), J Reichardt (senior), D Richardson (senior)
Prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia
Primary supervisor: Stephen Assinder
Our research is focused on:
- Understanding how the loss of structural proteins involved in organization of the cell cytoskeleton contribute to the development of prostate cancer phenotypes.
- Hormone regulation of prostate cell proliferation. In particular we are interested in how oxytocin, a hormone usually associated with females, regulates enzymes that are essential to growth of the prostate and to determine if different cell signal pathways are involved.
Dysregulation of receptor tyrosine kinase signalling antagonists leads to prostate cancer.
Our recent research (Assinder et al., 2015) indicates that a co-repression of Sprouty and Spred, antagonists of FGF signalling, is associated with the progression of prostate cancer. It is likely, due to the need for tight regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase signalling, that having a family of SPRY and SPRED negative regulators provides a degree of redundancy. Until now, this has not been considered in the context of prostate cancer.
The aim of this project is to demonstrate in vitro that compound loss of SPRY2 and SPRED2 induces an aggressive cancer phenotype. This project will employ many techniques including cell culture of normal human prostate and prostate cancer cell lines, RT-PCR, real time PCR, siRNA knockdowns, western blots, flow cytometry, growth, proliferation and phenotypic assays.
This project is in collaboration with Prof Frank Lovicu, Discipline of Anatomy and Histology.
Projects are available in these areas of interest. They will employ many techniques including cell culture, proliferation assays, RT-PCR, real time PCR, siRNA knock downs, Western blot, Immunohistochemistry, thin layer chromatography and radioimmunoassay.
Discipline: Physiology

Weeks later I contacted them again and I spoke with a woman named Beth and she tells me they need more info of who suppose to be in the portrait my jaw hit the floor. She asked me to e-mail her some photos but I told her you have our photos already and I want those back. Like a nut I e-mailed her my photos a week went by and Beth sends me an e-mail saying she did not get the photos I said I sent them to you and it shows on my computer that it was sent. Once again I send them to her and I Titled the subject second time sending. That was the last time I ever heard anything and that was 4 months ago. I contacthed HSN where I purchased everything from, they have promised a refund but what about my photos? they are priceless.
After reading the ex-employee's statment, who wanted to criticize the payment method of some Everly was just a rip-off and another thing it doesn't matter how some people paid for their protrait Everly took their money and pricless photos. The Barack Obama portrait is probably worth $2.00 I told my husband it looked like weaving work. We all have been taken advantage of and just think we thought it was safe since it was on Hsn but these days, I'm learning nothing is safe.

Are You Cutting Back on Home Improvements?
Americans are spending less on their homes, and Home Depot is feeling the pain. The retailer reported a 66% drop in fiscal first-quarter net income, writes Mary Ellen Lloyd in today's Journal.
Conditions that have kept homeowners from taking on major home renovations and repairs continued in the first quarter in many parts of the U.S., says Frank Blake, the company's chairman and chief executive, in the article. In February, the chain reported its first annual sales drop in its 30-year history and expects worse results this year.
It's harder to fund home improvements these days — banks are freezing or downgrading home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), as June Fletcher noted in this House Talk column. The financial payback is also less — the resale value of these improvements is sliding, as M.P. McQueen wrote in a Journal article last week. (Though green renovations are seeing better returns.)
Readers: Are you making fewer home improvements these days? –Lauren Baier Kim

This is a division of application Ser. No. 141,965 filed on Jan. 11, 1988, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,880,283
The present invention generally relates to a composite tread member for a track-laying vehicle and, more particularly, it is concerned with a composite tread member for a track-laying vehicle that is molded of a polymeric material reinforced with abrasion resistant fibers.
Track-laying vehicles are broadly used in construction or military applications for their superior tracking capability in rough terrain. A track on a track-laying vehicle is under tremendous strain and severe wearing conditions when the vehicle is in operation. This is especially true with modern track-laying vehicles where the vehicle is expected to carry a high load and capable of superior acceleration and speed.
A track on a track-laying vehicle can be constructed with either an integral tread system or a replaceable tread system. In the integral tread system, a track is connected by many track units, each is molded of hard rubber material around a steel support member. A track with the integral tread system has the benefit of lightweight, however, the entire track must be replaced when the tread rubber surface is worn.
In a track equipped with replaceable tread members, individual tread members are connected by mechanical means to a permanent steel link unit and can be replaced when they are worn. The replaceable tread track can therefore be more easily maintained in the operation of a track-laying vehicle.
Conventional tread members are molded of hard rubber materials. The durability of the rubber and thus the lifetime of a tread is always a problem in the design of a track. The selection of the rubber material is a difficult task in that different performance requirements of a track-laying vehicle demand different properties of the rubber material. For instance, a high durometer hard rubber material used in molding a tread member works well at high speed on smooth roads but disintegrates quickly in rough terrain. On the other hand, a low durometer soft rubber material would work well in rough terrain but deteriorates quickly on smooth roads at high speeds.
The most commonly seen problems with rubber molded tread members are overheating which causes blowouts and catastrophic failure of the rubber, chunking where large pieces of the rubber materials fall off the tread member, and rapid wear due to the poor abrasion resistance of the rubber material. In military applications, the high thermal profile of rubber is also undesirable since a track-laying vehicle such as a tank can be easily detected in the dark by infrared detectors.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a new composite tread member which can be used in a track-laying vehicle equipped with either an integral tread system or a replaceable tread system.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a composite material for the molding of a tread member used on a track-laying vehicle capable of long surface life and problem-free operations.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a polymeric composite material for the molding of a tread member used on a track-laying vehicle capable of providing prolonged surface life without premature failures.
The present invention provides a new and novel composite tread member for a track-laying vehicle that is molded of a polymeric material, or a polymeric matrix material, reinforced with abrasion resistant fibers. The polymeric matrix material we have employed is a Nylon 6 based reaction injection molding (RIM) material. In our composite tread member, a metal support member in the shape of a binoculus is embedded in the polymeric material forming the back portion of the tread member. The binoculus-shaped metal support member functions as the mounting hardware such that the tread member may be connected to the track. Reinforcing fibers arranged in various bundle sizes and configurations are embedded in the polymeric matrix material forming the front portion, i.e., the portion constituting the wear surface of the tread member.
In the preferred embodiment of our invention, the reinforcing fibers we have used are bundles of polyaramid fibers. A multiplicity of polyaramid fiber bundles are interwoven with polyester fiber bundles into a narrow webbing of approximately 2 to 3 inches wide with the polyaramid fiber bundles running in the transverse direction. The webbing is then rolled up in an elongated roll and embedded in a polymeric matrix material. In an alternate embodiment of our invention, the webbing is folded up into a pleated form and then embedded in a polymeric matrix material. In either of these embodiments, the polyaramid fiber bundles are embedded in the polymeric matrix material in such a way that the fiber bundles are situated in a near perpendicular relationship to the wear surface of the composite tread member. We have found that maximum wear resistance of the tread member can be achieved when polyaramid fiber bundles are embedded in such an orientation.
Our novel composite tread members can be operated on a track-laying vehicle at an operating temperature that is at least 25� F. lower than the operating temperature of a conventional rubber tread member. Our composite tread members have performed with minimum cracking, chunking, or blowout problems after extensive testing in rough terrain. The tread members have demonstrated an average durability that is 50% longer than that for an unreinforced conventional tread member.
Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the specification and the appended drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a partial track mounted on a track-laying vehicle equipped with our composite tread members.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the webbing interwoven by polyaramid fiber bundles and polyester fiber bundles with the polyaramid fiber bundles running in the transverse direction.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view containing a partial cut-away view showing a composite tread member reinforced with polyaramid fiber webbing arranged in an elongated roll form.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view containing a partial cut-away view showing a composite tread member reinforced with polyaramid fiber webbing arranged in a pleat form.
Referring initially to FIG. 1, a partial track 10 of a track-laying vehicle 12 is shown. Composite tread members 14 are mounted in track 10 by mechanical means. In FIG. 2, a section of a polyaramid fiber webbing 50 is shown. A multiplicity of polyaramid fiber bundles 52 are interwoven with polyester fiber bundles 54 making webbing 50 with the polyaramid fiber bundles 52 running in the transverse direction. The function of the polyester fiber bundles 54 is to hold the polyaramid fiber bundles 52 in the desired orientation. The polyaramid fiber bundles we used is supplied by the DuPont company under the tradename of Kevlar�. It is Kevlar� 29 having a denier of 1500. Each Kevlar� fiber webbing contains 7-10 bundles per inch. The polyester fiber bundles we used for keeping the polyaramid fibers in place is an industrial polyester having a denier of 1000 and containing 4 fibers per inch in each webbing.
A perspective view of a composite tread member with a partial cut-away view is shown in FIG. 3. A metal support member 16 is embedded in the back portion of tread member 14 by polymeric matrix material 18. The metal support member 16 having a binoculus shape is equipped with mounting apertures 20 for connecting to the track and a heat dissipation aperture 22. The heat dissipation aperture 22 serves not only to dissipate heat generated in tread member 14 during operation, but also to minimize the amount of polymeric material used. We have also used metal support members that do not contain the heat dissipation aperture. Bolt members (not shown) are used to connect tread member 14 to track 10 (FIG. 1) through aperture 20. In the cut-away view in FIG. 3, elongated rolls 56 of polyaramid fiber webbing are embedded by polymeric matrix material 18 in the front portion of tread member 14. The elongated rolls 56 are covered by a thin layer 40 of the polymeric matrix material on wear surface 42 of the tread member.
In the next step of making our composite tread members, a multi-cavity Kirksite tool having matched upper and lower mold members (not shown) gated at parting line is used for the RIM injection molding process. A more expensive aluminum or steel tool may also be used in place of the Kirksite tool. The interior mold surfaces of the upper and the lower mold members define a mold cavity. Elongated rolls 56 of polyaramid fiber webbing 56 are first placed in the lower mold member. A metal support member 16 is then placed on top of the elongated rolls 56. After the upper mold member is closed and locked onto the lower mold member forming a mold cavity containing rolls 56 and metal support member 16, Nylon 6 RIM material is injected into the mold. A molded tread member 14 can be demolded after the RIM material is cured in approximately 3-5 minutes. The RIM injection molding process is conducted in a RIM machine or a RIM (Resin Transfer Molding) machine at low molding pressures between 50 to 100 psi. The Nylon 6 RIM components are kept in tanks at a temperature between 150�-200� F. with the mold temperature set at 250� F.
We have used two different types of Nylon 6 RIM material. Table I shows the formulation for a hard Nylon 6 RIM material having a Shore D durometer of 75-80. Table II shows the soft Nylon 6 RIM material which has a Shore D durometer between 35-38. We have made tread members from both the soft RIM formulation and the hard RIM formulation.

FIG. 3 shows a composite tread member reaction injection molded of Nylon 6 RIM material. It is seen that polyaramid fiber bundles 52 are oriented about perpendicularly to the wear surface 42 of tread member 14 to obtain the maximum abrasion resistance. We have reason to believe that even when polyaramid fiber bundles are oriented at a small angle, i.e. up to 30�, from being perpendicular to the wear surface of the tread member, the abrasion resistance of the tread member only suffers slightly. We have also used other abrasion resistant fibers such as glass fibers and Nylon fibers which produced satisfactory results.
Other materials can be used in place of Nylon 6 RIM as the polymeric matrix material in our composite tread members. For instance, polyurethane RIM, polyurea RIM or any other polymeric material that has good abrasion resistant property can be used. We have found specifically that polyurethane RIM and polyurea RIM work satisfactorily as the polymeric matrix material in our composite tread member.
In our alternate embodiment, pleats of polyaramid fiber webbing obtained by folding the webbing back and forth on itself are used in place of the elongated rolls of polyaramid fiber webbing. In this process, narrow webbing of polyaramid fiber bundles interwoven with polyester fiber bundles is pleated at a predetermined width and thickness. The desirable width and thickness of the pleats can be easily determined by the geometry of the composite tread member. We have found that a suitable pleat size for our polyaramid fiber webbing is about 2 to 3 inches in width and about 4 to 5 inches in thickness.
The pleated form of polyaramid fiber webbing we used in our alternate embodiment has similar wear properties to the roll form of polyaramid fiber webbing used in the preferred embodiment. They both significantly increased the wear resistance of our composite tread members. Furthermore, the common operational problems associated with conventional unreinforced tread members are greatly reduced.
From the foregoing, it should be apparent that the present invention provides a novel composite tread member that is far superior in properties and durability when compared to conventional unreinforced tread members.
While this invention has been described in an illustrative manner, it should be understood that the terminology used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.
Furthermore, while our invention has been described in terms of a preferred and an alternate embodiment thereof, it is to be appreciated that those skilled in the art will readily apply these teachings to other possible variations of the invention.

Also, the apple cider vinegar depends on the kinds of remedy to be used. In certain remedies, a lemon or lime and baking soda will be a good substitute.
Another possible way to get around the lack of available, apple cider vinegar is to use apple juice mixed 50% with plain distilled vinegar. Most of the healing properties of the apple cider vinegar, in my opinion comes from the small amount of acetic acid and malic acid already found in most apple juice. Although when I do use it, I tend to neutralize the acid, with baking soda, so that it will be more friendly, pH wise to the body.
