FIGS. 1 to 8 are copies of FIGS. 2, 4, 6-10 and 12 of said Virog and Von Hagel application, in which the injection-molded cap 11 has a top wall 12, a circular cylindrical internally threaded side wall 13 (preferably having external knurling or vertical ribbing such as serrations or grooves 14 (FIG. 2)) and, projecting from the bottom of the top wall, a thin circular sealing flange or plug 15 which is concentric with the side wall, and has a frusto-conical outer surface 16 for engaging an inwardly projecting thin circular lip 17 at the mouth 18 of the bottle 19, which mouth is located at the top of the neck 21 of the bottle. The cap 11 has two threads 23, 24, 180� out of phase, each thread making about 1/2 turn, and the bottle neck has two matching threads 26, 27. The two threads are of identical pitch; in the illustrated construction the pitch is about 3 turns per inch in contrast to the 6 turns per inch used for conventional single thread milk bottle caps so that the cap travels downward about 1/3 inch for each turn thereof. Preferably each thread on the bottle neck is entirely on one side of the bottle mold parting line 28. The plug 15 may have an inner annular face 30 substantially parallel to the vertical axis of the cap and plug. In FIG. 1 there is a substantially horizontal circular annular shoulder 31 at the base of the neck and the dimensions of the cap and bottle neck are such that, before the cap has made one half turn on the neck, further rotation of the cap is prevented by the engagement of the top wall 12 of the cap and the top 31A of the neck. There is an anti-tamper arrangement which includes a frangible hook means on the cap and a pair of hook-engageable elements situated 180� apart on the bottle. More specifically the hook-engageable elements comprise two identical upstanding lugs 32, 33 situated along the parting line 28 at opposite sides of the neck 21 and spaced a short distance from the neck, and the hook means comprises a tab 34 joined to the main body of the cap by at least one thin connector. In the drawing (FIGS. 2-4) there are three thin connectors 36, 37, 38, and the tab is a flat element which is narrow at its forward leading edge 39 and is tapered and widens gradually to a curved main section 41 of substantially uniform diameter which runs parallel to the circumference of the cylindrical cap wall 13 (said main section being defined by an inner edge 42 curved to conform substantially to the outer surface of the adjacent surface of the cap and a similarly curved outer edge 43 substantially parallel to that inner edge) and an outwardly projecting tail section 44 which is at an acute angle (e.g. a 45� angle) to said circumference.
In use, when the cap threads are first seated on the neck threads, the tab is out of engagement with a lug 32 or 33 except that a portion of the tab may rest lightly on top of one of the lugs, as shown in FIG. 2. On further rotation of the cap, the cap moves downward and the tab is now at a level to engage effectively the other lug; thus the leading edge 39 of the tab enters the space between a lug (e.g. lug 32) and the cylindrical surface of the cap, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. Further rotation of the cap may force the lug to be tilted (as by movement of the wall which supports it) owing to the camming or wedging action of the taper of the tab as shown in FIG. 6 or the wedging force may cause the tab to tilt out of its normally horizontal position (as shown in FIG. 7) or both effects may occur at the same time. The lug itself may remain substantially unbent while the thin lug-supporting shoulder 31 is resiliently deformed to cause the lug to tilt. On still further rotation the tail 44 of the tab engages the lug so that the tail is bent inward and/or the tail and tab are twisted permitting the tail to pass through the space between lug and cap wall. At the end of the rotation the tail has moved past the lug and has snapped out behind it (FIG. 4), to thereafter act like a hook or barb with respect to that lug. Thus, when one attempts to unscrew the cap, the inner edge 46 of tail 44 is engaged by the lug thus forcing the tail outwards thereby breaking the frangible connections 36, 37, 38 so that the tab 34 is sheared completely off the main body of the cap, thus indicating to the customer that the cap has been unscrewed at least once.
In accordance with one aspect of this invention, the bottle mouth and cap structure described in the abovementioned application of Virog and Von Hagel are modified. One such modification is shown in FIG. 9 in which the neck 51 (above its threads 52, 53, which are ridges) has an inwardly directed portion (or lip) 54 which, unlike that in conventional milk bottles, is tapered (e.g., frusto-conically) at 54 (and may have a shallow inwardly directed edge or rim 56) for engagement with the plug 57 of the cap. For instance, the angle α of taper may be about 64� to the horizontal, the height A of the inwardly directed tapered portion 54 may be about 0.1 inch while the width B of the rim 56 may be about 0.045 inch. The dimensions of the plug 57 and tapered portion 54 and rim 56 are such that, when the bottle is fully capped the top of the tapered portion is preferably in contact (at its edge 56) with the upper generally cylindrical outer face 58 of the plug 57 (which cylindrical outer face is substantially parallel to the vertical axis of the cap and plug), as shown in FIG. 11A.
Unlike conventional caps, which have squared interior "corners" between their top and side walls, the cap 61 has a tapered or filleted internal corner 62 above its threads 63, 64, which are ridges. This, it is believed, acts to inhibit "stripping" of the threads which can occur for instance, during the bottle-capping step when the cap is rotated to thread it onto the bottle forcefully and the threads are wet with milk and therefore slippery. After the bottle has been fully capped, the continued application of the force in the capping direction causes the relatively rigid, solid, cap threads 63, 64 to press upwardly against the very flexible bottle threads 52, 53, thus tending to deform the neck. For some reason not fully understood, the presence of the fillet material 62 at the upper inner "corner" of the cap inhibits this deformation, possibly by restraining the tapered section 54 against changing in shape unduly under the influence of those neck-deforming forces. The action is believed to be as illustrated schematically in FIGS. 10 and 10A (relating to a non-tapered construction) and FIGS. 11 and 11A (relating to the construction of FIG. 9). FIGS. 10 and 11 show the parts just before the cap has been screwed on fully, while FIGS. 10A and 11A show them after screwing on has been completed and a strong screwing on force has been applied to the cap, resulting in downward pressure exerted by the top wall of the cap on the top of the bottle neck. As seen in FIG. 10A the bottle neck can partly crumple under that pressure, thus adversely affecting the seal between cap plug and bottle neck. In contrast, for the tapered structure the downward pressure exerted by the top wall of the cap is believed to have an effect similar to that observed with the well known conical washers; that is, the internal diameter at the top of the neck tends to decrease and the top of the neck thus grips the plug 57 more tightly. Meanwhile the presence of the corner fillet 62 tends to prevent crumpling of the neck or local out-of-round movement of portions of the top of the neck away from the corresponding portions of the plug. In a preferred construction the space 66 available for the top of the neck between plug 57 and corner fillet 62 is such that the top of the neck is substantially restrained, all around its external circumference, against substantial outward movement so that substantially all of its internal circumference is kept in good sealing contact with the plug. It will be understood that (as mentioned in Ser. No. 770,025) the parts have thin walls and are subject to shrinkage after molding and their dimensions are not accurately controllable; thus, the mouths of the bottles are often somewhat out of round. In a typical case, the dimension indicated as "S" in FIG. 9 may be about 0.038 to 0.040 inch while the dimension "T" may be about 0.040 (or less) to 0.045 inch.
The filling at corner 62 increases the amount of plastic at the top of the cap. It is found that the bottom of the side walls of the cap may be made somewhat thinner, below the cap thrads; this not only reduces the amount of material needed to make the cap but (by providing a larger cap opening) makes it easier to start the capping operation properly. Thus the side wall thickness of the cap may be about 0.035 at the level of the cap threads and may average at about 0.025 below that level. The side wall may be tapered as shown at 71 in FIG. 12) below the threads.
It will be noted (FIG. 9) that a narrow portion 81 of the annular shoulder below the neck is horizontal, while the larger outer portion 82 of that shoulder has a tapered (e.g. frusto-conical) configuration (for instance, angle β may be about 20�). This makes the shoulder more resistant to deformation under the downward forces which may be applied to the neck of the bottle during the capping operation. As a result, it stabilizes the position, and angle, of the lugs 86 with respect to the neck 51 and cap 61 during that operation.
A particularly preferred construction is illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14. In that construction the structure at the corner of the cap has been modified to provide a plurality of spaced relatively thin spaced ribs 71 (e.g., about 0.05 inch thick) and a much shallower, solid fillet 72 to accomplish the desired effect with less material and thus lower cost. To the same end, the upper outer corner 73 of the cap has been rounded off. Another preferred modification of the cap is the provision of a deeper and more gradually tapered plug 74 which, in the illustrated embodiment, extends downward such an extent that it is well within the mouth of the bottle at the start of thread engagement, when the threads of the cap and neck just start to engage (or, in other words, when the lowermost end 76 of a cap thread 63 moves just below the uppermost end 77 of a neck thread 64); in the illustrated embodiment about 3/5 of the depth of the plug is below the top of the neck at the start of thread engagement. It is found that the increase in the depth of the plug makes for a geometry in which it is impossible for the cap to be threaded crookedly onto the neck. When the shallower plug shown in FIG. 9 is used, careless threading can cause the cap to start screwing onto the neck at one of the dual threads while the other cap thread is completely out of engagement with its corresponding neck thread, as shown in FIG. 15; as seen in FIG. 15 even though the cap is not on straight that portion 78 of the shallow plug that is axially aligned with the engaged thread portion can begin to enter the mouth of the bottle. When the deeper plug shown in FIG. 13 is used that misalignment cannot occur because the plug cannot enter any part of the bottle mouth when the cap is threaded crookedly.
It will be understood that the plug need not be deep all around its circumference. Thus the cap may be made lighter by using a plug configuration 79 such as shown in FIG. 16 (having alternating deep portions 81 and shallow portions 82); or, less desirably as shown at 84 in FIG. 17, having two deep portions (or downwardly extending fingers) 86,87 only at the two thread-starting areas of the cap, with the remainder of the plug being shallow.
The presently preferred dimensional relationships between plug and bottle mouth may be illustrated by cutting away the threaded skirt of the cap, leaving only the plug and the adjacent portion of the cap top wall (see FIG. 18). It is found that the plug generally fits easily into the mouth, simply by gravity (without application of any external force) to about half the depth of the plug. Applying a downward force causes expansion of the bottle mouth and, when the cap has reached a level where the rim 56 of the mouth is in contact with the non-expanding portion 58 of the plug, the de-skirted cap "snaps" into the mouth so snugly that one can propel the de-skirted cap a distance of well over 5 feet by holding the so-capped bottle horizontally and squeezing the bottle sharply with one's hands.
As indicated in FIG. 13 the cap skirt has conventional vertical serrations 83 for ease of turning. In a preferred construction the lower portion of the cap skirt
It appears that the tapered portion of the plug acts to expand the bottle mouth resiliently and that the mouth may even contract somewhat but still be resiliently pressing against the plug when the mouth comes into contact with the non-expanding, cylindrical, portion of the plug. The forces on the parts are not such that the plug engagement causes significant crowning of the cap (unlike FIG. 13 of Ser. No. 770,025). However the injection molding and post-molding shrinkage forces are such that the molded caps do have, in one preferred embodiment, a uniformly domed upper wall in which the domed portion appears to be within the circumference of the plug, as illustrated in FIG. 32. The thinness of the plastic upper wall is such that the dome can be flattened or even inverted by light pressure with one's thumb. This flexibility facilitates labelling the top of the cap in automatic machinery, since the cap top flattens easily in running under the pressure roller conventionally used for smoothing down the label.
As indicated in FIG. 13 the cap skirt has conventional serrations 88 for ease of turning. In a preferred construction the lower portion of the cap skirt has an unserrated thicker band 89 which strengthens it and gives a more pleasing appearance. The unserrated band also serves to indicate to the user that the cap should be grasped on the serrated portion, above the band, which helps to avoid rubbing the fingers against the lugs of the bottle.
Typical dimensions of the parts are indicated in FIGS. 13A, 13B, 14A, 14B and 14C. As noted in application Ser. No. 770,025, shrinkage occurs (particularly after blow molding) and it is not practicable to maintain precise dimensions. Thus the dimensions given are only a rough guide, based on one typical set of measurements. For instance the 1.358 inch neck diameter is the value measured on one bottle (along one diametral line); along another diametral line on the same bottle this diameter may be 1.345; the internal diameter of the portion of the mold from which that neck was formed was 1.390 inch. Again the mouth of the neck (whose internal diameter at the top is given as 1.228 inch) was formed by a "blow-pin" whose external diameter was 1.240 inch. The band (at the bottom of the cap skirt) whose internal and external diameters are given in FIGS. 13A as 1.458 and 1.525 inch was formed in a portion of the mold whose corresponding diameters were 1.480 inch (external diameter of mold core) and 1.565 inch (internal diameter of mold cavity).
The anti-tamper construction is like that shown in Ser. No. 770,025. The preferred cap construction uses a relatively small anti-tamper tab 91 integrally attached to band 89 by a single readily frangible integral connector 92 and more strongly attached by a connection like 36 (FIGS. 2 to 4) at its downstream end, so that on initial removal of the cap the connector 92 breaks, giving a readily visible indication that the bottle has been opened. Also the bottle mold is such that the lugs 94, 96 have smoothly rounded corners where they are likely to be engaged by the fingers of the user. Typically the tab 91 is about 0.5 inch long, the connector 92 is about 0.4 inch from the downstream connection and radial distance between the outside of the tail 44 (see FIGS. 2 to 4) and the band 89 is about 0.015 to 0.02 inch.
In an alternative anti-tamper construction the cap (FIG. 19-21) has an internally directed tooth 101 adapted to engage a projecting tooth 102 (FIG. 22) on the bottle neck. When the cap and neck have a two-start thread (as preferred) constructed so that the cap can start in either one of two positions about 180� apart, there are two cap teeth 101 and two neck teeth 102 also about 180� apart. Each cap tooth is integral with a severable section 103 of the cap skirt (e.g., a portion of band 89); thus the severable section may be integrally joined to the rest of the skirt by at least one thinner, frangible boundary such as boundaries 104, 105. When the cap is screwed on, the teeth engage (as shown in FIG. 20) and the tooth 101 (and/or tooth 102) bends to permit the teeth to move past each other. When the cap is unscrewed the cap tooth 101 is forced against the neck tooth and is forced to pivot (as shown in FIG. 20A, breaking the frangible connection and giving a clear visual indication that the bottle has been opened. The neck teeth 102 are (like the lugs 33, 34, 86, 94, 96 of the previously illustrated embodiment) preferably situated along the parting line of the blow molded bottle or just to one side of that line.
The cap may be injection molded in conventional manner using a cooled mold cavity and a cooled core. The core is preferably made in two pieces 111 and 112 (FIG. 23) to reduce the machining needed to form the deep plug. The bottle may be blow-molded in conventional manner using a suitable "neck ring" as the mold for forming the neck to the illustrated configuration.
Instead of the combination of thin ribs 71 and fillet 72 one may use other constructions to restrain the top of the neck around the plug. For instance one may use a larger number of thicker ribs, without a fillet. One may dispense with the ribs and have a tapered corner as shown in FIG. 24; this tapered corner may have external ribs 74 (FIG. 25). The ribs and/or fillet may be replaced by a shallow internal skirt 116 (FIG. 26) whose inside wall is positioned to engage the outside of the top of the neck. Instead of a straight taper the taper may be curved or rounded, as illustrated in FIGS. 27 and 28. The overall angle (to the horizontal) of the inwardly directed portion of the top of the bottle should be at least about 30� to the horizontal, preferably more than 40� or 45� to the horizontal, e.g., about 60� to 70�.
I believe that the forces acting on the upper portion of the bottle neck are the upward force exerted on the neck thread by the cap thread and the downward force exerted by the top of the cap on the top of the neck. I believe that that upper neck portion tends under these forces to buckle or crumple locally resulting in a tendency of the threads to strip and the mouth-plug seal to gap. Having the upper neck portion at an appreciable angle as indicated (unlike to 0� or 10� angle used in prior art structures) helps to avoid that effect. This is especially the case when the cap is provided with means for restraining such buckling (such as the ribs 71 or the angled portion in FIG. 24) by backing up that upper portion at one or more points situated below the uppermost part of the neck, for substantially maintaining that angle. It is within the broader scope of the invention to use a smaller angle such as about 15� or 20�, in combination with a suitable buckling-restraining means; it is also within the broader scope of the invention to start the taper somewhat above the uppermost part of the neck thread. It will be noted that in the illustrated embodiment the ribs 71 are tapered at an angle slightly different from that of the upper neck portion; this provides space for the upper part of the neck thread to fit between the bottom of the ribs and the top of the cap thread; one may also use ribs or vanes tapered at the same angle as the upper neck portion but cut off at their lower portions to provide the thread space.
Another aspect of this invention which I believe to be novel is the provision of the non-expanding portion 58 of the tapered plug in a construction in which the dimensional relationships are such that screwing the cap down causes the mouth of the blow molded light weight milk bottle to expand around the tapered portion and then to seat resiliently on the non-expanding portion of the plug. The rim 56 has a short vertical inner surface (formed when the conventional blow pin used for blow molding is moved axially out of the mouth while the top of the bottle is restrained by the conventional shear steel); that surface does not have any parting line bead projecting inwardly therefrom and can seat snugly on the non-expanding portion of the plug, which aids in giving a good seal.
This invention provides a highly effective cap which may be very light weight and which can be produced very economically. Thus the cap weight may be below 2.4 grams, such as about 2.2 grams or less. Despite this low weight the cap gives an excellent seal, resistant to leaking.
One aspect of the invention relates to an apparatus and method for placing the caps on the bottles. The apparatus (see FIGS. 29 to 31) includes a conventional cap-feeding chute 121 down which the caps 122 travel one after the other under their own weight and at the bottom of which they are releasably retained (as by a pair of spring-pressed elements 123 biased toward the cap while the top wall 124 of the cap is engaged by one edge of a plate 126. As is conventional, the filled bottle to be capped is moved (as on a suitable moving endless conveyor, not shown) in a path such that the neck 127 of the bottle engages the bottom of the releasably held cap and moves further (in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 29) causing the cap to tilt and be released, to rest atop the bottle neck. As the cap and bottle are moved along, under the plate 126, the cap comes into contact with a conventional preturning element (such as a spring-biased arm 128 having serrations to engage the serrations of the cap) to rotate the cap on the neck in the direction it is to be screwed on so as to start the engagement of the threads of cap and neck. Thereafter the cap is acted upon by a conventional rotating capper (such as is illustrated in my U.S. Pat. No. 4,084,392 of Apr. 18, 1978). In conventional construction the plate (under which the cap and bottle pass) is stationary. In the improved construction illustrated here the plate 126 is mounted for vertical movement and is biased towards its lowermost position (being restrained against further movement by a suitable stop in its mounting). For use with the illustrated caps the construction is such that the plate is caused to rise about 1/8 inch (by contact with the cap) when the bottle and cap pass under it.
In one construction the horizontal plate 126 has secured thereto a thin vertical shoe 129 adapted to move in a guideway formed by the neck plate 131 of the cap chute 121 and by a pair of bars 132, 133 spaced from that back plate and fixed thereto (as by extensions 134). The capping plate is urged downward by a tension spring 136 attached to (a) an arm 137 extending from the top of shoe 129 and (b) the fixed bar 133. Downward movement of the capping plate 126 is limited by an adjustable stop (not shown). The spring is such that it takes a force of about 3 to 5 pounds to move the capping plate upward 1/8 inch (the spring is about 11/2 inches long). The substitution of a movable capping plate for the conventional stationary plate avoids damage to the easily distorted top of the bottle neck which can result when a cap having (as preferred) a deep plug is pressed down against the bottle by passage under a stationary plate when the plug is not quite in alignment with the mouth of the bottle. It also avoids momentary (or permanent) distortion of the base of the bottle and consequent squirting out of some of the milk.
In the most preferred configuration the angle of the tapered portion of the plug is such, in relation to the angle of taper of the upper part of the neck, as to cause outward (and upward) movement of the mouth when the plug moves downward, as indicated in FIG. 33. It will be understood that the plug moves in a spiral or helical path dictated by the angle of the threads and that its horizontal rotary component of movement is larger than its vertical component.) While the most preferred deep plug is shown as having a very gradual taper (e.g. about 6� to the vertical) along the portion in which it exerts its mouth-spreading action, it will be understood that other configurations may be used. For instance the plug may (as shown in FIG. 34) have a lower straight portion 141 (for entering the mouth and for insuring against crooked threading) and a mouth-spreading portion 142 at a relatively large angle (e.g. 45�) to the vertical.
While the cap and neck configuration have been illustrated with a two-start thread, it will be understood that it is within the broader scope of the invention to use a single start thread or to use a thread arrangement having more than two starts (e.g. 4 starts). Also other antitamper arrangements may be used such as locking ring arrangements, as shown for instance, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,504,818, 3,812,994 or 3,902,621 (with corresponding ratchet teeth on the bottle neck) or a ratcheted rim and lips arrangement as shown for instance in U.S. Pat. No. 3,805,987.
It is understood that the foregoing detailed description is given merely by way of illustration and that variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The MIAA softball Top 25 poll for this week is updated here.
A wild first week filled with some surprising scores meant there was plenty of turnover from our preseason poll. Six new teams entered this week's poll, highlighted by North Attleborough catapulting into the 12th spot after its win over Mansfield. Western Mass power Westfield followed at No. 13 after a 4-0 start.
Tewksbury (No. 17), Hopkinton (19), Brockton (20) and Holy Name (21) also made their debuts this week.

Few weeks back before Christmas 2014, I was having a chat with few startups at YorkbutterFactory and some others I met via StartupVictoria about Platformer. Our discussion extended to what public cloud platforms we support and what we our plans in the future etc.
Strangely few of them asked me "Have you build a Marketplace for DigitalOcean?". That was a bit of a surprise as we never thought about it before.
Yes we do have a Marketplace, and yes applications, services and projects from our Marketplace can be deployed and managed under various public cloud providers including DigitalOcean. However we never thought of promoting it as a Marketplace only for DigitalOcean.
In continuing my discussion with some of the developers, I found out that they are using it as a Marketplace catalog to deploy apps and services on DigitalOcean. That is great, I am very happy at least we were able to help few of the DigitalOcean fans.
I am happy to hear from more of you and see how we may be able to help achieve your final goals, even if that means we need to further improve Platformer capabilities (adding more apps, services to the catalog, more DevOps capabilities etc) to support use of IaaS platform from DigitalOcean.
Let us know how we can help?
Wishing you a very Happy New Year !!!

Snaps: a weekly (mostly visual) review
Since my schedule in the coming month is totally nuts (insert crazy schedule here: I'm off to Mexico, then back for two days to install the work of photographer Amanda Marsalis for a Gallery Night show. Then, after hosting the opening at Sky High, I leave for a week-long lecture tour in Alaska, come home for two days to repack and then head off again to Thailand for a week of screenings of my film about the DIY movement Handmade Nation), I realized I should look close to home for this week's post.
So, I walked two blocks from my house and did a long overdue studio visit with one of my favorite artists, curators and all around creative people Cassandra Smith.
Image: Work of Cassandra Smith at Paper Boat, 2006 (detail).
I first became enthralled with Cassandra's patterned, sequined work in 2006 at the MIAD senior thesis exhibit. From there our history of working together began. Later that year, I showed her work at Paper Boat Gallery. You may also be familiar with Smith's name from her other projects. She and Jessica Steeber ran the former Armoury Gallery in Brewers Hill and have just launched an ambitious project, Fine Line Magazine.
If I am doing the math correctly, it's been a little less than five years since Smith has graduated from MIAD. In my option she is has played a vital role in the growth of our local creative community while continuing to create and exhibit new work. That is no small feat. I believe she is an unusual and fantastic example of what I could only hope more graduating visual art students would work toward locally. Could you imagine our art scene if everyone didn't move to the coasts and stayed to create bigger and better things for our city. But I'm getting off track...
I recently blogged about two shows that Cassandra had work in. She had two pieces in the "DIY: Revolution in Handicraft" exhibit at the Society of Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh. And just last month she installed a site specific piece much closer to home, at the James Watrous Gallery in Madison for the "Handmade Meaning: The Value of Craft in Victorian and Contemporary Culture," up through Feb. 6.
This month, Smith is the is the featured kick-off artist on a new Milwaukee-based web site called PrintShop Forever, a new project curated by Cortney Heimerl. If I were you, I'd bookmark Printshop Forever now. Heimerl is about to unload an amazing line up of artist's creating work exclusive to her site. Through PrintShop Forever she will support emerging and established artists by providing a space to showcase diverse forms of art and craft while encouraging dialogue.
Each month, a new maker will be showcased, selling a small, unconventional edition that is handmade by the selected artist and exclusively available through the site. I'll be blogging more about this project soon, but let me tell you if you've drooled over Cassandra's work in the past this is the perfect opportunity to get a small piece in your collection.
Also, don't forget to save the date for February 4th, the opening of a collaborative show at Walker's Point Center for the Arts featuring Cassandra Smith, Jessica Steeber and Karin Hass.Oh, and one last thing. Check out my article, titled "Small Offerings" published this week on the Hand/Eye blog.

P2P Streaming Systems: A Study on the Use of Advertisements as Incentives
P2P streaming systems, such as PPLive, PPStream, and TVUPlayer, have become popular services with the widespread deployment of broadband networks. However, P2P streaming systems still face free-riding problems, similar to those that have been observed in P2P file sharing systems. Thus, one important problem in providing streaming services is that of providing appropriate incentives for peers to contribute their upload capacity. To this end, in this paper, the authors propose the use of advertisements as an incentive for peers to contribute upload capacity.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Posted on 03/23/2013 5:52:48 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Proponents of gun-control legislation, emboldened by the presidents call for stricter laws and overwhelming support in public polling, have been optimistic that proposals for background checks or a crackdown on weapons trafficking could pass Congress. Gun-control advocates have cited plenty of data to make their case, including surveys that show more than 80 percent of Americans support background checks.
Even a ban on assault weapons, which has been a more polarizing issue, still wins majority support in many surveys.
But these polls may gloss over some complexities in public opinion on gun control, and explain why Democrats are having so much trouble winning congressional support for even the most modest gun regulations.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday said he would not include the assault-weapons ban in legislation the Senate will consider next month, an acknowledgement that he doesn't think that proposal could pass. Democrats fear that including the assault-weapons ban might doom the prospects for other measures such as background checks. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who authored the proposal, said she wasn't backing down and would try to tack on the assault-weapons ban as an amendment instead.
So, why aren't the polling numbers on gun control swaying more members of Congress? Many of the poll numbers don't capture the nuances of public opinion.....
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Heh, they sent out Obama's online community organizing trolls to astroturf the polls, and then actually believed that those corrupted polls were accurate.
All we (this means YOU GOP weaklings) need to do is to DEFINE "assault weapon".
Ma and Pa Kettle even know that assault weapons are machine guns that are compact in size, and can be switched between full and semi-auto.
The Marxist/Democrat/leftists just love to pitch this argument with 1. Ignorance, 2. Fear, and 3., (most of all) Emotion. By eliminating the ignorance, we eliminate the other two (eventually).
For the average ignorant voter, ask them if they support a ban on assault rifles and they will say "YES!
But the Devil is in the details and the pollster never mentions the details.
Think of those polled about Obamacare.
Do you support government paid medical care? Answer: YES!
You realize you will be forced to buy government mandated insurance don't you? Answer: WHAT!
It is like one idiot who learned he was being taxed for something. His reaction was...."Whey are we being TAXED for this! The GOVERNMENT should be paying for this!"
With Boehner in charge of the House, you can bet the farm the stupid party will blow the next election.
Don't know what the Vegas odds will be, but I'll bet 100:1 against the Stupid Party at this point.
So, why aren't the polling numbers on gun control swaying more members of Congress? Many of the poll numbers don't capture the nuances of public opinion.....
How about: I'm going to lie my *SS off when you ask me any questions about guns. I don't trust you or your agenda.
Two poster boys: Aikin and Murdouck.
They may lose the senate because of this, although the stupid party will probably do something to forestall that.
Reid beat them to the punch. By keeping Feinstein's Bill off the floor, he has kept the roll call from exposing the Dems not liberal enough to vote for the measure and the others not conservative enough to vote against it.
Depending on the district, either could send someone home next election--there is no upside for either party in voting on a Bill so heinous when it can't pass. The only upside in that vote would be for the voters who would have the list of names slated for primary challenges and defeat in the next election cycle.
For the most part, there are only such "complexities" and "nuances" in the opinions of the pseudo-intellectuals of the political/regulator class answering surveys and aiding the out-of-touch imposers of pathological policies. The more technically inclined healthy thinkers (scary to contemporary cultured folks) targeted by the gun control laws are more in touch with realities than that and haven't recently born and reared mass murderers (see incomes, demographics, social politics).
Example: severe retards, other extreme incompetents and maniacs—no firearms, nail guns, power saws, knives, hammers, etc. To avoid firearms when drunk or having a bad day is an individual responsibility. Accidents happen.
Even suicide and murder cannot be stopped in the whole population. Crime cannot be reduced to zero, although relatively more traditional morality in society in general would help. Common sense is a trait of people who work daily with the physical realities of life and refuse to listen to their insulated, indoor, rear-end-sitting, policymaking, pathological masters.
Actually, an "assault weapon" is any item used to commit an assault. If I stab someone with a pencil, that pencil is an "assault weapon". The term is a made up term used to scare the libtards so they will wet their panties in a re-enactment of Pavlov's Dog
You'll be foolish DUmmies.
The rats listened to their base of metrosexuals and very loud squawking hens, aka, "sucker moms".
Meanwhile, the men and the real women sent laser beams from their eyes in the direction of the scumbag politicians.
...Who felt the heat.
Speaking about this very subject a couple of months ago with a Lib and they were shocked to learn from me that an "assault weapon" as presented in the media and purchased at a gun store was not a fully automatic weapon.
Butter. LoL!
"Ma and Pa Kettle even know that assault weapons are machine guns that are compact in size, and can be switched between full and semi-auto."
Ma and Pa Kettle are not LIVs. And believe me, low information voters are plentiful.
Apt - Pavlov's dog. Heh.
Smoke and mirrors. Universal background checks i.e. registration is what they are shooting for. Republicans talking about mental health prevention of gun ownership is a sure sign things are going bad. I don't have problems with these checks if type of gun and serial numbers are not part of the check.
Just how do such findings square with the historic levels of gun purchasing by the American public over the last four years?
Well, of course, they don't.
The reason members of Congress are so afraid of voting for increased regulation on guns is because they look at the real world numbers, which say loud and clear, that Americans still have the blood of their forefathers running in their veins.
They could care less what the polls are, since they know best!
Treating the good and the innocent like criminals - isn't this how the Germans treated the Jews before WW2?
Whew! Thanks, I feel much better now. I thought he was in the White House.
Looks more and more like No. 5.
None of the crap being done is legal, but these gun grabbers don't care. They are afraid that the American people have awakened to their schemes and treason. They believe the only way to implement their schemes is to disarm America. Americans are not stupid: they see what Obama has done and continues to do to the economy and they see his Santa Claus giveaways to looters from the productive will collapse on its own weight. That's why disarmament has to be done . . . to protect those in power, Democraps or RINOs.
Consider this, in just four months, the FBI Instant Checks processed 2.3 million gun sales in November 2013, 2.4 million in December 2012, 2.3 million in January 2013, and 2.3 million in February 2013. That's enough guns to completely re-equip both the Chinese PLA (2.3 million) and Indian (1.7 million) armies TWICE. There would be 1.3 million guns left over after re-equipping was done. Americans are arming for a fight and the assholes in DC and Donkey controlled state capitals know this. What more and more American are feeling is that our state and national governments have lost legitimacy and are gone rogue.
"The semi-automatic weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun can only increase that chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons." -- Josh Sugarman, 1988, Violence Policy Center.

Barack Obama has chided Donald Trump as "wacky" and "uninformed" after the Republican candidate said Russia's President Putin was a better leader.
Speaking in Laos, Mr Obama said that every time Mr Trump spoke it became clearer that the Republican contender was not qualified to be president.
In a televised forum on Wednesday, Mr Trump had praised Mr Putin's "great control" and 82% approval rating.
Mr Trump and rival Hillary Clinton had taken questions from military veterans.
Mr Obama said: "I don't think the guy's qualified to be president of the United States and every time he speaks, that opinion is confirmed."
The president pointed to the diplomatic work he had faced at both the Asean summit in Laos and the earlier G20 meeting in China.
He said: "I can tell you from the interactions I have had over the last eight or nine days with foreign leaders that this is serious business.
"You actually have to know what you are talking about and you actually have to have done your homework. When you speak, it should actually reflect thought-out-policy you can implement."
Mr Trump had told the forum in New York that the Russian president had "been a leader far more than our president has been".
Quizzed by NBC host Matt Lauer on his previous complimentary remarks about Mr Putin, Mr Trump responded: "He does have an 82% approval rating."
"I think when he calls me 'brilliant', I'll take the compliment, OK?" said the businessman, adding that Mr Putin had "great control over his country".
Mr Trump also said that, as a result of the confidential intelligence briefings he has been entitled to as an election candidate, he had been "shocked" at how the president, Mrs Clinton and current Secretary of State John Kerry had done "exactly the opposite" of what intelligence experts had told them.

GSI Commerce, a provider of order-fulfillment infrastructure and digital marketing services to e-commerce companies, has acquired ClearSaleing, an advertising analytics and attribution-management firm based in Columbus, OH. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
ClearSaleing will operate under GSI's Global Marketing Services division, which is led by division CEO Chris Saridakis. Deann Harvey, chief sales officer of the division, will take over as chief revenue officer at ClearSaleing. She will focus on expanding both ClearSaleing's sales team and its client base. Current ClearSaleing clients include American Greetings, Rosetta, and Nationwide Insurance.
The two companies had already enjoyed a working relationship: an advertising agency within GSI has long used ClearSaleing's flagship solution, Attribution Management, on behalf of appoximately 50 clients.
GSI provides order-fulfillment operation for clients such as NFL.com, Aéropostale, and GNC, but the public most likely knows it as one of the companies recently featured on CBS's reality show Undercover Boss. GSI's founder and CEO, Michael Rubin, appeared on the show in December anonymously packing boxes in one of his own warehouses until he was fired for poor performance.

The changing shape of IT is causing CIOs to question the role of IT in the organization and the part they will play in it, according to Gartner, Inc. As businesses confront global economic uncertainty, changing market dynamics and cultural discontinuities created by technological innovation, their different parts require different ways of interacting with IT.
"We are witnessing the emergence of a new generation of CIOs, one that aims not so much to 'run' IT as to ensure that the business achieves strategic value from the use of technology," said John Mahoney, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "Although this isn't an entirely new development, the extent of the change is growing and a tipping point will be reached in the next five years."
Gartner has identified four dominant futures for IT in the organization. They are not mutually exclusive and may exist in combination.
Gartner said that these new CIOs will play an important role in identifying the required future of the IT organization, and that they must ensure senior IT stakeholders are involved from the outset, so that their support is guaranteed. These CIOs will then be able to identify how their role will change and start planning a personal road map.

Running a marathon is serious business, which is why most competitive runners have an unflagging game face. (After all, any extra effort—like that needed to muster up a smile—might zap important energy stores!) But it's hard not to grin when you get a look at the ridiculous signs held by fans, many of which refer to the gross things that can happen during long distance runs. All those banners about diarrhea and going number 2 while running down a crowded street? Well, they're funny because they're true.
However, stomach cramps, sprints to the port-potties, and worse don't actually need to be a part of your marathon plan, according to Colette Heimowitz, MS, VP of Nutrition and Education at Atkins.
"Carb loading for cardio endurance can help you have energy, but it has side-effects," says Heimowitz. "You have to take in so many carbs right before an event that runners get so many to intestinal upsets." Even worse, she says, most runners who rely on carbs for their energy tap their stores well before end. (more…)
What is all the fuss about having a strong core? Yes, of course we all want a smokin' hot six pack, but is there a real benefit to tightening your tummy beyond the aesthetic? Short answer: Yes. And a lot of it has to do with having a healthier, stronger center and a less achey lower back.
Strong core muscles make it so much easier to do many of our daily physical activities—such as running errands, doing household chores, and moving every which way. When you use your core to bend, lift, twist, and reach you safeguard your lower back, shifting weight off of your spine and onto your abs and the muscles of your back.
Core exercises strengthen your abdominals, back muscles, obliques (sides), and muscles around the pelvis. But this doesn't mean do a million crunches! That can only promise a sore back. What should you do instead?
Here are three exercises to do daily as you work toward a stronger core and a happier lower back: (more…)

Success in Silicon Valley is all about people — about how companies build lasting alliances with talented teams of entrepreneurial employees. Outsiders sometimes think that recruiting and keeping great people in the Valley requires offering Google-like perks or eye-popping compensation packages. In fact, it's far more powerful to treat an employee like an "ally," be realistic about how long they'll likely stay at your company, and then offer a promise of career transformation if they work for you. That's something every startup can do — even those still in the bootstrapping stage.
