The present invention relates to a safety device for use with mine cage elevating apparatus and the like.
The principal object of the invention is to prevent free fall of a mine cage when a cable or other type of lifting mechanism fails to maintain the cage in normal controlled descent or ascent in a mine shaft.
Known mine cage safety devices rely for their actuation on the sensing of a break in the lifting cable and are designed to apply braking pressure mechanisims to the guides or walls of the mine shaft, thereby to arrest the free fall of the cage. In a number of recent disasters in mine shafts where men were injured and killed as a result of a cage falling, the known safety device did not operate when the cable broke, far up in the shaft a great distance from the cage or the winding mechanism was faulty, allowing the cable to run freely from its winding roll and the known safety device did not sense the break in the cable since the length of cable had itself great weight.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an elevator safety device which will sense free fall of the cage by means of a friction wheel attached to the cage and running on the guide of the mine shaft. By sensing an increase in acceleration of the cage and by actuating a braking mechanism against the mine shaft guides or wall, the wheel of my invention results in an improved safety means for elevators long wanted in the art.
The friction wheel of the present invention operates a hydraulic pump mechanism which feeds hydraulic fluid under constant pressure to a triggering unit, provided the accelleration of the cage does not exceed a certain level. When the accelleration of the cage increases beyond a predetermined safety factor, the friction wheel increases the hydraulic pressure in the pump which higher pressure actuates the triggering mechanism. The triggering mechanism is combined with an explosively charged detonation means which propels plungers towards wedged brake shoes surrounding the guide means thereby to arrest the free fall of the mine cage.
The invention is, therefore, a means for preventing a mine cage from falling freely when the lowering means fails. It comprises in combination a rigid platform positioned between the two cage guide rails of the shaft and in the roof of the cage with a dust cover therearound to prevent the dirt from the mining operation from causing the safety device to interfere with its operation. An accelleration sensing wheel is fixed to a shaft held above the platform to roll freely along one of the guide rails as the cage is moved upwards or downwards in the shaft.
A piston arm is eccentrically mounted to the wheel and is connected to a hydraulic pump which pumps fluid at an increasing rate of pressure in direct relation to the speed of the wheel moving along the guide rail. A valve or tripping pump is inter-connected with the hydraulic pump means having a piston and tripping rod attached to it, such that when the wheel accellerates beyond a certain level the fluid pressure in the pump increases to a critial level in the tripping valve to drive a plunger outwardly from it to release the cocked arm of a trigger. The trigger releases a hammer which strikes a firing pin to set off an explosive charge in an enclosed chamber which results in ejection from the chamber along a barrel of a plunger mechanism to which are attached wedge shaped members which co-operate with a braking means that normally ride freely along the sides of the guiderails but are wedged against the guide rails by the action of the ejected plungers against the wedges.
It is known that the use of explosive charges in safety devices causes most rapid action; therefore, the sudden stoppage of the mine cage could possibly injure the persons riding therein, unless the stoppage is more gradually effected. I have, therefore, as a further object of this invention provided a delay means for descellerating the mine cage to prevent injury to persons riding in the cage. This delay means consists in having the firing trigger operate a first pair of brake shoes with smooth surfaces to ride on an straddle the rails simultaneous with the firing of the plunger which actuates the shoes. With the firing of the first set of plungers a timing lock is operated which after a few seconds actuates another explosive charge to move a pair of toothed brake shoes against another of the guide rails or timbers to arrest the fall of the cate. The teeth of the second pair of shoes bite into the timber of the guides to stope the cage instantaneously.
With the considerations and inventive objects herein set forth in view and such others as may become apparent from consideration of this disclosure and specification the present invention consists of and is hereby claimed to reside in the inventive concept which is comprised embodied embraced and included in the method, construction, arrangement, or combination of parts or new use of any of the foregoing which might herein be exemplified in one or more specific embodiments of such concept, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention shown attached to a platform which is positioned between the two guide timbers in a mine shaft and located on the roof of a mine cage.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the base of the platform frame holding the safety device showing the relative positions of the braking shoes, the firing pins, plungers and wedges.
FIG. 3 is a smooth brake shoe.
FIG. 4 is the perspective view of one of the second pairs of brake shoes which perform the final braking of the free falling cage.
FIG. 5 shows a cartridge in position in the firing chamber and shows the positioning of a plunger prior to firing of the explosive charge.
FIG. 6 shows an arrangement of a friction wheel operating a hydraulic pump which in turn operates the trigger valve.
In the drawings like characters of reference designate similar parts of the several figures.
In order first to describe briefly the present invention in terms consonent with those generally set forth in the accompanying Claim or Claims and to identify the parts defined therein the device is constructed generally as follows. In FIG. 1 a frame or platform 10 is positioned across the top of a mine cage 11 and has a frame member 12, 13 for holding and positioning the wheel member 14 and its accompanying hydraulics 15. The mine cage and platform and frame assembly is shown riding freely and straddling a pair of mine shaft timbers 16, and 17. Shoes designated 18 and brakes designated 19 are shown freely riding in the normal position over the timbers 16 and 17, respectively. The hydraulic trigger valve 20 is associated with the firing pin 21 which is ridgidly fixed to the platform 10 at 22. An explosive or combustion detonation chamber 23 is fixed to the platform 10 and has four separate chambers in the shown device which has four separate firing pins. One pair of pins is fired together by trigger 21 which simultaneously explodes plungers 24, 25 towards guide 16. Attached to the end of the plungers 24, 25 is an arm 26 freely slideable over the platform 10 and pushing outwardly with it a pair of wedges 27, 28. Upon detonation and firing of the plungers wedges 27, 28 are forced into a wedge box 29 and 30 respectively, which mate with a pair of wedges formed with the shoes to force the shoes 18 against the guide 16.
Attached to the moveable rod member 26 is an upwardly extending finger 31 which holds a timing block 32 in an upward position on a track 33. The track 33 is fixed to the platform frame 10. As the member 26 is driven outwardly towards the guide the finger 31 releases the timing block 32 which is wheeled as at 34, 35 to ride in an track provided in 33 by a pair of rails 36, 37. A rod 38 is attached to the block and as the rod and block ride down the track the rod comes into contact with a release mechanism 40 which frees the second trigger arm 41 to strike the firing pins of the second pair of explosive charges confined in chamber 23 and drive plungers 47, 48 outwards toward the other guide rail 17. Attached to plungers 47, 48 is a freely riding cross member plate 50 having attached to its outwardly facing side a pair of wedge shaped members 51, 52. As the plungers carry them outwards, wedges 51, 52 drive into a pair of wedge blocks 53, 54 straddling the guide timber 17 each attached to one of the toothed shoes 19. Each wedge block combines a wedge which is formed with the brake 19, and as the wedge 52 drives forward into the wedge block the brake grips the guide.
The relative position of the parts shown in FIG. 2. where the combustion chamber 23 is centrally located of the device with the firing mechanisms 21 and 41 shown on either side of the compression chamber. Both triggers 41, 21 are shown in the fired position whereas FIG. 1 shows the firing mechanisms in the upright pre-firing position. The pair of plungers 24, 25 are held together by a cross member 60 and plungers 47, 48 are held together by a guide cross member 61. Both 60 and 61 operate to guide the plunger uniformly along an axial path toward timbers 18, 17 respectively, and assist the force of the explosion from the chamber to be transmitted uniformly and insure that wedges 29, 30, 51 and 52 mate properly with the shoe wedge in the wedge blocks.
In FIG. 2 the wedge block surrounding wedge plunger 52 is shown cut away to indicate the method of contacting of the moveable wedge 52 against the fixed wedge 70 attached to shoe 19 within the wedge box 53. It will be seen that wedge 70 is integrally formed with the brake shoe 19, and assures that the force of the explosive action transmitted by the plungers to the rod 50 through the wedges 52 and 51 will be uniformly and directly contacted by the shoes and thereby transmitted uniformly towards the guide 17.
To ensure that the wedge and brake maintain the grasp against the guide and to resist the reaction of the guide back against the plungers and into the combustion chamber when the gases have been released from within the chamber, a pair of dogs 72, 74 are provided for arm 50 and a pair of dogs 76, 77 are provided for the rod 26 on the other side of the safety device. Each of the dogs 76, 77, 72 and 74 are fixed to the platform and are held in ratcheted engaging position with two ratchet means 80, 81, 82 and 83 which are each firmly held or formed with the free moving arms 26 and 50.
After the safety device brings the cage to a halt the cage must be then lowered or the cable repaired before the dogs 76, 77, 72 and 74 are released to allow release of the wedge in the wedge box and the release for the brake. When the first pair of plungers are fired, a pair of shoes shown in FIG. 3 are forced against the guide 18 and retard the acceleration of the cage. A few seconds later by the action of the timing block the second firing mechanism operates which actuates the plungers and wedges to force the pair of toothed shoes as shown in FIG. 4 to grip firmly and hold the cage against the guide. The short delay provided by the timing delay device eliminates any sudden jar which might injure persons in the cage.
In FIG. 5 the explosive chamber 23 is shown half cut away in section to show the chamber 90 within and the positioning of the plunger 48, positioned for firing from the barrel of the chamber 94. The explosive charge 91 is shown in position ready for firing and the firing pin 92 is also shown in section.
The explosive means of the device described above will only operate when the cage is falling at a rate greater than that being deemed safe by those installing the safety device but the wheel mechanism as shown in FIG. 6 is designed to be operative at all times when the cage is moving upwards or downwards. The speed of the wheel is the initiating factor to determine when the safety portions of the device are to be activated. The wheel 14 runs freely on the guide timber 17 by contacting the timber as at point 100 shown in FIG. 6. The wheel protrudes through a dust cover 99, which dust cover is not shown in the FIG. 1, but is designed to keep dirt from falling on to the mechanism while the cage operates up and down the shaft in the mine.
The wheel is attached to a bracket 98 which is fastened to frame of the mine cage. The friction wheel is mounted on an arm 97 which is attached to the bracket 98 and is pivotally mounted as at 101 to the bracket. The wheel freely rotates as at 102 on the arm 97, the spring loaded arm 103 is pivotally attached to 98 as at 104 and is forced by means of a spring 105 against the rod 97. The spring loaded rod 103 keeps the friction wheel in contact with the guide rails and can be adjusted so that wear is not too severe at the surface of contact 100 between the wheel and guide 17 but will ensure that the wheel at all times does contact the the guide regardless of any warps or bends in the guide as the cage moves up and down thereby to ensure even constant and relatively uniform movement of the wheel when the cage passes over the rail.
A hydraulic piston mechanism 15 is associated with the friction wheel and comprises an eccentric arm 107 attached to the friction wheel 108 to provide reciprocating motion to the rod 107 and thereby reciprocating motion to a plunger 109 located in a hydraulic pump means 110. The rod 109 combines with piston 112 to pump hydraulic fluid past a valve 113 into a line 114 travelling to a hydraulic trigger valve 20. Valve 20 is fixed as at 117 to platform 10. A hydraulic reservoir 120 is provided in the system and has connected with it a return line 121 from the outlet of valve pump 20.
The pump 15 is designed to ensure that as the wheel 14 rides up and down freely at an accepted rate of speed fluid circulates through the system from 114 down to and through the triggering mechanism and freely through outlet port 125 and back up to the reservoir through line 1-21 in a uniform even manner. However, if the wheel should happen to ride faster along the rail the pump will operate more quickly and drive fluid through the inlet 140 into a chamber 127 formed in the head of piston 128 at a greater pressure. As the pressure mounts in the chamber 127 created on the piston head 128 tending to force it outwards of trigger barrel 141 and against the spring 129 allowing the piston rod 142 to move outwardly of barrel 141 carrying spring 129 with it. As the pressure increases which will in turn gradually close the outlet port 125 by movement of the piston 128 outwardly, the fluid volume will be decreased. The closing of the port 125 will increase the hydraulic pressure substantially more rapidly and resulting in the ejection outward against the reaction of the spring and thereby to release of the pin 130 which has been held down by the pin 131. Pin 130 is attached to the trigger 21 and release of the pin 130 will trigger the firing mechanism which will in turn explode the plungers from the combustion chambers against the wedge blocks and thereby create the braking to stop the cage from further acceleration.
The timing for triggering of the first set of explosive charges is achieved by means of a regulator means associated with the hydraulic triggering device 20 and consists of regulator nut 150 threadably attached to a rod. When the regulator nut is advanced outwardly of the rod it is forced against the spring 129, holding member which in turn draws out the piston rod 142 and piston 128 thereby restricting outlet port 125. Threading or adjusting the regulator 150 inwardly allows the outlet port passage to be enlarged to allow an increase in fluid volume to pass the trigger in turn to the reservoir 120.
When the desired volume of fluid is achieved to give the necessary triggering characteristic to the combination trigger, pump and wheel system the regulator nut 150 is locked by means of a suitable locknut or set screw means.
Various modifications may be made to the invention described and be within the scope of the concept disclosed. It is intended, therefore, the foregoing disclosure shall be considered as illustrative of such concept and not as limiting the protection sought to any particular embodiment thereof.

It was presented by the Delta Theta Lamda Education Foundation and Delta Theta Lamda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Alabama A&M. Dr. Boyce Watkins, a scholar, financial advisor and author, also spoke at the breakfast.
"We've been through a difficult time, especially with our natural disasters," Bentley told a crowd that included mayors Tommy Battle of Huntsville and Paul Finley of Madison along with City Council members and other politicians.
"When trials come it brings out the good in people. There were 250 killed and 25,000 lost homes (in the tornadoes). But we went through it together.
"You know, tornadoes don't discriminate. It hits blacks and whites, Democrats and Republicans, young and old. And, those responding didn't discriminate. It was neighbors working together.
"The President (Obama) came here three days after (the tornadoes) to tour the state and said, 'Tell me about the people in your state.' And, I said, 'We've got the greatest state in the country.'"
Bentley said King always talked about service to others, and "as Christians - I am, he was and I know you (the audience) are, too - we have a certain standard to serve others. Dr. King believed in that way we honored God, and he did with his life.
"He (King) stood strong when most of us would have wilted."
Bentley said the state has "come so far (in civil rights issues) since the '50s and '60s. I want to be a governor that carries that on, where it doesn't matter about race or whether you're a Democrat or Republican.
"Let's continue to remember what Martin Luther King, Jr., stood for. We need to stand strong for the things he believed in."

April 29, 2008, 11:41 PM
Try this site www.loadbooks.com
I have a few of them, they're great,But You have to buy a book for each cartridge,you plan on loading,well worth the money,
April 29, 2008, 11:42 PM
My number one pick is Sierra
...but all the ones I have are pretty good:
Also as mentioned above, go to the powder manufacturer's web sites
Ol` Joe
April 29, 2008, 11:59 PM
1) Lyman for the "How to"
2) A-Squares "Any Shot You Want" for it extensive information on interior balistics
3) Either Speer or Nosler for data
April 30, 2008, 12:12 AM
Hornady. But you can never have enough books.

April 30, 2008, 01:11 AM
One thought, if you plan on using Hornady bullets, buy the Hornady loadbook. Likewise with Sierra and so on. Different shaped bullets will require different COL's, it's not that you can't figure that out on your own, and this is more important with rifles than with pistols, but to make matters easier for you pick the manufacturer you use most.

Lyman...they don't make powder, primers, cases or bullets...so they have nothing to gain by giving an advantage to any of the components.
Say what! Lyman does have bullet molds and loads for their bullets in their manuals.
I still use my 41st Edition Lyman reloading manual. I like their pet load sections for each caliber.
May 2, 2008, 05:57 PM
Lyman's 40-somethingth (I'm using #48)
The powder manufacturers' web sites for additional load data/sanity check
I can't think of a number 3 :)
May 2, 2008, 05:58 PM
I was waiting for that... I knew someone would eventually bite.
May 2, 2008, 06:40 PM
+1 on the Lyman 48th. Though I like to cross check new loads with at least two other sources to get an idea of what each recommends.
May 2, 2008, 07:06 PM
+2 lyman. I also use the interweb for everything else questionable
May 2, 2008, 07:12 PM
When I started thinking about reloading I bought Lyman's 48th edition to study. Then I ended up buying a Lymna kit and it had another copy of the 48th in the box. One is in the shop and the other is on the bedside table. I will get some others. So far I have loaded exacatly 5 rounds of 45 ACP and they all fired.

I'm going ta catch it but the Lee Modern reloading, too much data, might not be original, or specific, but it covers a whole bunch including reduced loads and cast bullet data.
Hodgdons, yea I know it's a powder manual but they also give data for the other powder lines, even though it's to show their powder line, gives lower pressures.
Guess I'll put one in from a bullet manufactuer and my choice is Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading Volumes I&II. Again there is just too much usable information not only load data but ballistic tables out the ole wazoo .
May 2, 2008, 10:27 PM
If I know someone wants to get into loading, I let them get ahold of the Lee manual. I find the way he writes to be simple to understand, and he gives a lot of info in not a lot of ink.
I also like Hornady and lyman.
May 4, 2008, 04:57 PM
Hornady has a great instruction section, but their data is a bit lacking. Lee has lots of data, but the instructions are distinctly biased towards Lee products (duh!).
May 4, 2008, 06:53 PM
You're right about that but it also applies to my Speer 13 manual too. All they talk about is RCBS.

This pattern is confusing, speciall where the thumb starts. I crochet the first four stiches, marked the fifth, sc 21 stiches, then skip 8 stichtes? This is where you lost me. There are not 8 stitches to skip. The cuff also seems very small. Can you explain the skip 8 stitches part? Thank you.

Recent reviews
2.3 /5 from 149 reviews
One night stay was long enough. Non-smoking room with a long memory of smokers past, and cigarette burns on the sink. So much dirt in the carpet that it stuck to the bottom of my feet and washed off in the shower. Place hasn't had much love in a loooooonnnggg time.
Unfortunately, the property is on the edge of disaster. The water park (the hotels main draw) is closed for "maintenance" until 2017. Many of the draperies are shredded. The outside doors are NEVER locked, providing inadequate security. There was no record of the reservation. A call to Hotels.com solved that problem, but the reservation didn't make it into the system for over 4 hours (the supervisor failed to add it). There was no air conditioning in the hallways. The hot water is tepid. I don't like giving negative reviews, but, The Clock Tower was once a crown jewel....it's sad to see it on a downward spiral.
Extremely disappointed with thus stay, water park not operable, outdoor pool not filled, room in disrepair (handles hanging off dresser, water damage on walls in room, bad smell). Will never stay here again
Need better breakfast
Seriously disappointed in the rooms. I expected to be able to take my 6 year old to their Waterpark/ arcade but it was closed for maintenance. The hotel was too expensive not to get anything in return. They have a sign on the desk pretty much saying if you booked us because of the attractions too bad it's not our fault you didn't research before you booked.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea Thursday criticised an "unhelpful" visit to North Korea by a senior aide to Japan's prime minister, saying it weakened the united front needed to deal with Pyongyang.
Mr Isao Iijima arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday on a visit that clearly surprised both Seoul and Washington, which have been working closely with Tokyo on coordinating North Korea policy.
South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Cho Tai Young said it was "important" that the US and its two close allies continue to work in tandem.
"In that sense, we think that the visit by Iijima to North Korea is unhelpful," Mr Cho said.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has refused to comment on the purpose of Iijima's trip.
But Mr Abe said that he would consider meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un if it could help resolve the longstanding issue of Pyongyang's kidnapping of Japanese citizens.
The North's state media said Mr Iijima held talks on Wednesday with Mr Kim Yong Il, secretary of the ruling Workers' Party Central Committee.
Mr Iijima was also a senior aide to Japan's then-prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, and is known to have played a role in organising his trips to Pyongyang in 2002 and 2004 for talks with then-North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.
Mr Iijima's visit fuelled speculation that the North may be trying to thaw icy relations with Japan at a time when ties with the United States and South Korea have gone into deep freeze after nuclear and missile tests.
The US, along with its two Asian allies, has increased pressure on Pyongyang to drop its nuclear ambitions and to join the international community.

Chavez: I Will Be The First Mexican Champ at 160-Pounds
By Ryan Burton
Wilshire Grand, Los Angeles, CA - During the pre-fight hype for the middleweight title clash between WBC champion Sebastian Zbik and mandatory challenger Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., some big promises were made.
The fight takes place on Saturday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It has been said that Chavez doesn't always take training seriously. The "son of the legend" revealed that he trained harder for this fight than he has ever trained before. He also promised the fans that he will deliver an exciting performance.
"In this fight I will leave it all in the ring and I promise a war. I have trained like I have never trained before. This will be a great fight for all the fans. I have dreamed of this since I first started boxing and I am excited to finally have the opportunity (to fight for a title)," Chavez said.
Mexico currently holds more world titles than any other country and has a rich boxing tradition but the country has never produced a middleweight champion. Chavez plans on changing that on Saturday night.
"I have a great team and I am very well prepared for this fight. On Saturday Night I will make history. I will be the first Mexican middleweight champion ever."

Why the CDC wants your kids to get a flu shot next fall, not popular FluMist spray
Needle-phobic kids, beware this coming flu season: Government experts are spurning the popular FluMist vaccine because the more conventional flu shot has proved more effective.
FluMist spray has been widely used among pediatricians because it's easier to administer to children who may be wary of needles. But this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that it not be used.
"We considered FluMist to be barrier-free because there were no needles involved," said Zack Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services. "Now we're back to holding a kid down if they're needle-phobic."
Thompson worries that the FluMist revelation might further discourage people from getting vaccinated. Any roadblock for vaccinations is a drawback, he said, especially when misconceptions about their effectiveness run rampant.
"It's just one more reason for not taking the vaccine and one more challenge in encouraging people to get vaccinated when there's already a lot of variables associated with it," he said.
Twelve percent of adults age 18 to 49 believe vaccinations are unsafe, according to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. In Dallas County, a total of 15 flu-related deaths occurred in the last year, one pediatric and 14 adult.
The FluMist vaccine differs from the standard flu shot because it contains a weakened live vaccine, compared with the inactivated influenza vaccine in flu shots.

Just to finish off the thread I started, the problem continues with the
upgrade from S7 to NB. I bought a CF card with NB OS from a nice guy
off eBay. He tested the card and assures me it boots. But when I try it
(after all the usual precautions - remove/replace batteries, remove
memory upgrade module, face west with tongue pointing upwind etc) I
just get a white screen after the OS loads. So I can only assume that
for some reason, this particular S7 is not upgradable. I'm leaving it
at that (unless anyone has had a flash of inspiration) and going with
Linux. SargeBook is happy to boot with the NB personality module plus
the 32MB upgrade, so there's no problem with that hardware.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Yeah, if there were more characters we would just find things to hate about them.
Robocop, Superman, Dr Phil, Michael Myers are among a few that would've been great additions to the game.
But seriously, I think that the roster is fine the way it is. If there were more characters added, they pry would've just been rehashes of old or current characters.

Yeah, if there were more characters we would just find things to hate about them.
By that logic I don't hold much hope for the sequel, since they'll have no new interesting characters to add. Personally I think more is better, I reckon they could put in more characters with a little imagination. For example, of the ones I mentioned I can imagine at least Knuckles being unique- he can glide and walk on walls, and being an echidna it wouldn't be a stretch to say he can burrow underground.Originally Posted by Dorkfish

When did anybody mention a sequel? I was talking about SSBB. I'm sure they would add a few new characters for SSB? but it won't be much, and a couple of them will just be rehashes of old chars just like in this one.Originally Posted by Napalmbrain

I honestly feel that only videogame characters should be in the game, because it would sort of ruin the point of it. I don't know, but it doesn't seem right to have Neo from the Matrix and Jack Skellington beating up Freddy Krueger on Rainbow Cruise. They already kinda screwed up SoulCalibur 4, I don't want them to mess up Smash Bros. as well.
P.S: Scratch that, Jack Skellington would be awesome!

TELL CITY – Efforts to raise money to preserve Tell City's century-old Venetian lions is making progress, a city councilman said Wednesday. However, more money is needed.

We welcome the planned commemoration in Washington, D.C. this year but we also feel that the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington needs to serve as a vehicle for advancing struggles for justice on the ground-floor in every community
Where You Will Find the Democratic Spirit This Fall
Mark Naison: The signs of popular initiative are all around us, if we care to look. They are the real hope of the future in a country where the mainstream economic and political systems have been rendered stagnant by a concentration of wealth at the top.
White Feminists Don't Care about Black Women
Jasmyne Cannick: why have these two female powerhouse organizations been missing in action on the two Los Angeles talk radio hosts who offended women, particularly Black women, when they called Whitney Houston a "crack ho" three days after her death?
Why Teachers Must Become Community Organizers and Justice Fighters
Mark Naison: Teacher Activists must put forth a vision of Radical Democracy which envisions an education which empowers students as critical thinkers and agents of historical change, not just as obedient test takers and which envisions schools playing a central role in neighborhoods united and mobilized to get a fair share of the nation's resources.
Manifest Destiny Revivalism
Sikivu Hutchinson: Glenn Beck's decision to hold the event on the March on Washington anniversary has elicited outrage amongst civil rights organizations who accuse him and the radical right of hijacking the legacy of the civil rights movement.
Black Queers Tying Knot
An idea that was once thought of as an anathema to black queer identity — marriage — in our LGBTQ communities, is being celebrated and on the rise. And many of us are now proudly walking down the aisle to tie the knot.
The NAACP's 100th Anniversary: What's the Future Hold for the Granddaddy of Civil Rights Groups?
This week, the most venerable of civil rights organizations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, more commonly known as the NAACP, turns 100 years old. Founded on Abraham Lincoln's 100th birthday (February 12th, 1809), the organization had a controversial start. The organization was born out of what started as an effort by […]

As the nation slowly emerges from the Great Recession, the patterns of student aid are returning to the paths they were on before the economy crashed. The federal government, which dramatically stepped up its subsidies to students in 2009-10 and 2010-11, continues to play an expanded role, but not a growing role. Students continue to borrow at levels that are high by historical standards, but that represent a retreat from the soaring debt levels of a few years ago. New data allow a clear focus on the characteristics of students who are most at risk from debt. As Trends in Student Aid 2015 documents, those who do not graduate are particularly vulnerable. Older, independent students, those who take longer to earn their degrees, African-American students, and those who attend for-profit institutions accumulate more debt than others.
Types of Student Aid
- Graduate students received an average of $26,950 per FTE student in financial aid, including $8,840 in grants, $16,570 in federal loans, $1,490 in education tax credits and deductions, and $50 in FWS.
- In 2014-15, undergraduate and graduate students received $238.9 billion in grants from all sources, FWS, federal loans, and federal tax credits and deductions. In addition, students borrowed about $10 billion from private, state, and institutional sources.
- Total loans declined as a percentage of all student aid plus nonfederal loans from 47% in 2010-11 to 43% in 2014-15. This percentage was 51% in 2003-04 and 55% in 2007-08.
Grants increased as a percentage of all student aid plus nonfederal loans from 45% in 2010-11 to 50% in 2014-15.
This percentage was 43% in 2003-04 and 41% in 2007-08.
Sources of Grant Aid
Grant aid per FTE graduate student increased by $2,990 (51%) in 2014 dollars between 2004-05 and 2014-15.
In 2014-15, 37% of all grant aid came from the federal government, 41% from colleges and universities, 14% from
employers and other private sources, and 8% from state governments.
Federal grant aid rose from 32% of all grants to postsecondary students in 2004-05 to 42% in 2009-10, and was 37% of the total in 2014-15
- Veterans education benefits for undergraduate and graduate students increased from $4.6 billion (in 2014 dollars) in 2006-07 to $12.1 billion in 2010-11. These awards totaled about $15.2 billion in 2014-15.
Federal grant aid to postsecondary students increased by 152% in 2014 dollars between 2006-07 and 2010-11, with the largest increase in Pell Grants and veterans/military aid. The total declined by 13% over the four-year period from 2010-11 to 2014-15, when only veterans/military aid increased in real terms.
State student grant aid, almost all of which is for undergraduate students, increased by 13% in 2014 dollars between 2006-07 and 2010-11. After adjusting for inflation, states provided about the same amount of aid in 2014-15 as they had four years earlier.
In 2013-14, state grant aid per FTE undergraduate student ranged from under $200 in 11 states to over $1,000 in 11 states.
Grant aid from colleges and universities in the form of discounts to students grew from an estimated $30.6 billion (in 2014 dollars) in 2006-07 to $41.9 billion in 2010-11, and to about $50.7 billion in 2014-15.
Pell Grants
The number of students receiving Pell Grants increased from 3.7 million in 1994-95 to 5.3 million in 2004-05, and to 8.2 million in 2014-15.
The percentage of undergraduate students receiving Pell Grants increased from 26% in 2004-05 to 35% in 2014-15.
- Only undergraduate students who have an expected family contribution of zero and enroll full time and full year receive the maximum Pell Grant. In 2013-14, 27% of recipients received the maximum $5,645 in Pell funding, up from 22% in 2003-04.
- The average Pell Grant per recipient was $2,411 (in 2014 dollars) in 1994-95, $3,116 in 2004-05, and $3,673 in 2014-15. The average grant peaked at $4,189 (in 2014 dollars) in 2010-11.
- Despite increasing by 17% in inflation-adjusted dollars between 2005-06 and 2015-16, the maximum Pell Grant covered 74% of average public four-year tuition and fees in 2005-06, but only 61% in 2015-16. It covered 19% of average private nonprofit four-year tuition and fees in 2005-06, and 18% in 2015-16.
Distribution of Student Aid
In 2013-14, 23% of all Pell Grant recipients were over the age of 30.
In 2013, 24% of the savings from education tax credits and deductions went to households with an adjusted gross income (AGI) over $100,000. Another 24% went to households with AGI below $25,000.
- In 1993-94, only 10% of all state grant aid for undergraduates was awarded without regard to students' financial circumstances. By 2003-04, this percentage had risen to 26% and in 2013-14 it was 24%.
- In 2011-12, 12% of full-time undergraduate students at private nonprofit four-year institutions and 9% of those at public four-year institutions received grant aid from all sources combined that exceeded their federally determined financial need.
- In 2011-12, full-time private nonprofit four-year undergraduate students received about two-thirds of their grant aid from their institutions; public four-year students got one-quarter of their grant aid from their institutions.
- In 2011-12, full-time undergraduates in for-profit institutions received 64% of their grant aid from federal grant programs and 21% from aid to veterans and active military members.
Student Borrowing
- In 2014-15, the average undergraduate who borrowed from the Stafford Subsidized Loan Program borrowed $3,750, 9% less than in 2010-11; the average undergraduate who borrowed from the Stafford Unsubsidized Loan Program borrowed $4,125, 11% less than four years earlier.
- The percentage of undergraduate students taking federal subsidized or unsubsidized student loans increased from 28% in 2004-05 to 36% in 2014-15. Just 9% of students (and 24% of borrowers) took only subsidized loans.
- Total borrowing from the federal Direct Subsidized Loan and Unsubsidized Loan Programs fell by 20% ($19 billion in 2014 dollars) between 2010-11 and 2014-15. Total borrowing from the PLUS program for parents of undergraduate students fell by 9% ($1 billion); Grad PLUS borrowing increased by 2% ($200 million).
- Nonfederal education loans (loans from banks, credit unions, states, and institutions) grew from an estimated $17.7 billion (in 2014 dollars) in 2004-05 to $25.6 billion in 2007-08. In 2014-15, the volume of these loans was about $10.1 billion.
Student Debt
- Student loan default rates are consistently two to three times as high for borrowers who attend for-profit and public two-year institutions as for those who attend private nonprofit and public four-year institutions.
- In the third quarter of 2014-15, 14% of borrowers with outstanding federal student loans were in default. These borrowers held 9% of total outstanding debt.
- In 2013, 47% of outstanding education debt was held by households currently in the top quartile of the income distribution and 11% was held by the lowest income quartile.
- In 2014, 39% of borrowers with outstanding education debt owed less than $10,000, and another 28% owed between $10,000 and $25,000; 4% of borrowers owed $100,000 or more. This debt includes borrowing for both undergraduate and graduate studies.
- In 2015, 3.9 million federal Direct Loan borrowers were in repayment plans that limit their payments to a specified percentage of their incomes. These borrowers constituted 20% of those in repayment plans; they held 37% of the total outstanding debt in repayment plans.
- Only 11% of dependent 2011-12 bachelor's degree recipients borrowed $40,000 or more, compared to 25% of independent students without dependents and 29% of independent students with dependents.
- Ten percent of 2011-12 bachelor's degree recipients who graduated within four years borrowed $40,000 or more. Among those who were in school for six years, 17% borrowed this much.

We all have our little quirks, different play styles and just odd
things we do when we play games. Gaming OCD'S [obsessive compulsive
disorder] that drive us to sometimes act in subtle or even outlandish
ways. I started thinking of mine, and then wondered what the
1upers might have as well. My list could go on and on so i felt i
would keep it to games i have been playing over the last month or so.
Look at that! I can throw in a what ya been playing topic as well. Two
for one baby!
Final Fantasy III DS
For those of you who don't know the game has a job system, each of the 4 characters can be equipped with a job that gives them certain ability's, and can be changed at any time. FF III being an older game is a damn hard at times. If you don't have the right job's for a fight or the right level you will wipe. Every time i wipe in the game i change not one of the characters jobs but ALL OF THEM. At least on the first wipe.
You see my OCD here is not so bad cause if i wipe a second time to the same boss my logic kicks in. I think about it in a strategic fashion. I pick the jobs i need and not just willy nilly like i would on a first wipe. Also any wipe also sets me out to grind two levels. Why two? Who knows. The changing jobs thing i can almost explain away as my mind trying to see all the jobs the game has to offer over the course of normal game play.
One more little note its not just a wipe that can trigger a job change for my guys, but if the same character dies back to back i will change that characters job as well. Be it boss fight or normal mobs. If my black mage gets killed i will revive him and he if dies first again its over for the black mage! Time to move on sir. Also any character who dies goes right to the bottom of the formation list. Yes i am fucking nuts
Street fighter 4/Blazblue
The theme of failure and loss seems to spark most of my gaming OCD
and it shows up in these games as well, thankfully only in a small
manner. anytime i lose be it online or off i change the color scheme
of my character. Do i honestly think my black and white noel, or
purple Cammy will do better because of a change like this? No, but it
does seem to set me at ease after a loss and i just go in all calm. A
clean slate.
When i play ranked i also limit myself to taking three losses, once i hit that magic number i stop playing ranked. Once again no clue as why i came to the number three. Random brain chemicals, or the unforeseen result of blood orgy's. it could be anything but it does fascinate me.
Ok so that's a few of mine, like i said i have many i could write whole blogs about Final fantasy OCD's alone, what about you? what little ticks do you have? and why do you think you have them? or like me are you just dumb founded by your own screwed up brain.
Back of the blog, which from now on will be called the feather in the cap section, being a Red mage in final fantasy XI will never leave me!
I gave in about a month ago and started to twitter. its not something i thought i would ever do, but it is a nice way to keep in contact with people if anyone wishes to add me i am drewredmage. keep in mind that i am delightfully boring =).
Loving Final Fantasy III DS and plan to blog about it, had the game a while now got to the garuda fight before and lost bad a lot and just gave up. A year later i have powered through that damn bird and will be finishing up the game over the course of next week. old school fun.
Bleach manga is getting boring again, but Naruto is picking up.
Was not going to pick up Modern warfare 2 , but that damn multiplayer
video hit this week.oi i am sucked in.

Joining the U.S. Army in 1998, Matt DeWitt could never have imagined what would happen five years later. As a Calvary Scout, Matt was part of the initial invasion into Iraq taking Saddam Hussein's palaces. Next he was patrolling in Khalidiyah when a rocket propelled grenade changed his life forever. Matt lost both of his arms below the elbow in 2003.
After six months at Walter Reed Medical Center, Matt headed home to New Hampshire to figure out what to do next.
He did have one objective: to ride a mountain bike again. A former competitive mountain biker, Matt had won his share of races in high school. But, this was going to be a different ballgame.
Fast forward to November 2011. After an introduction to John Wordin and Ride 2 Recovery (R2R) via Northeast Passage, Matt set off for the R2R Las Vegas Veterans Day Honor Ride. He thought the 40-mile ride on a road bike would be an easier way to get back into cycling.
"Getting on this road bike after riding mountain bikes for so long, I thought it was great!" said Matt. "I went out like a rocket but coming back wasn't so easy. Scotty (Moro) pushed me part of the way back. No one has pushed me since.
"Shifting and riding in the pack were the most challenging aspects of getting back into cycling again," he said. "But this year is much better."
With electronic shifting and braking modifications to his bicycle, Matt has continued training and rode the 333-mile R2R Minuteman Challenge in September 2012. He topped that by completing Newton's Revenge (mountain) Bicycle Hill Climb on Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the highest peak in New England. He has since "knocked out a couple of centuries with plenty of hills added in."
Now, Matt has set his sights on the Leadveille 100 – a 100-mile moutain bike event across the high-altitude, extreme terrain of the Colorado Rockies. He will train on the mountains of New Hampshire and then join others on the R2R team a week prior to the race to acclimate to the altitude and test out the race course.
