Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my cousin went to court for supposly rape. the judge stated that they can not try him for rape because of insufficant evidence. the dna wasnt back yet so can the case be reopened? the victim admitted that she lied about it all but she is a minor & he is 25.
It isnt clear at what point in the proceedings your cousin's case is currently situated. Judges dont normally make comments about the sufficiency of the evidence unless a person has made a motion to dismiss the charges. It is highly unlikely a case was dismissed where material has been sent to a lab for testing bc it hasnt come back yet unless the delay was extraordinary. In either case, your cousin likely has had an attorney appointed to represent him - your cousin should ask his lawyer these questions.
Even if the case has been dismissed, unless it was "dismissed with prejudice," it can be re-filed at a later date. Please make sure your cousin has no more contact with the alleged victim.Ask a similar question
the "victim" has told the detective she lied. he is still in jail & there is a tpo.
you cousin needs an attorney if he doesnt already have one
Your information here is lacking a lot of FACTS. The judge does not say, "we cannot try you because of insufficient evidence" it just does not work that way. So...the question can only be answered once you present actual facts. IF the case was dismissed, it likely can be refiled. IF it went to trial, and he was found not guilty, well then NO, it cannot be reopened.
The above information is not, nor intend to be, legal advice. You SHOULD consult an attorney for specific advice regarding your individual situation.

The present invention relates generally to inkjet printing mechanisms, and more particularly to a recycling ink solvent system that filters and recycles an inkjet ink solvent that is used in conjunction with a wiper system for cleaning inkjet printheads.
Inkjet printing mechanisms use cartridges, often called "pens," which eject drops of liquid colorant, referred to generally herein as "ink," onto a page. Each pen has a printhead formed with very small nozzles through which the ink drops are fired. To print an image, the printhead is propelled back and forth across the page, ejecting drops of ink in a desired pattern as it moves. The particular ink ejection mechanism within the printhead may take on a variety of different forms known to those skilled in the art, such as those using piezo-electric or thermal printhead technology. For instance, two earlier thermal ink ejection mechanisms are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,278,584 and 4,683,481. In a thermal system, a barrier layer containing ink channels and vaporization chambers is located between a nozzle orifice plate and a substrate layer. This substrate layer typically contains linear arrays of heater elements, such as resistors, which are energized to heat ink within the vaporization chambers. Upon heating, an ink droplet is ejected from a nozzle associated with the energized resistor. By selectively energizing the resistors as the printhead moves across the page, the ink is expelled in a pattern on the print media to form a desired image (e.g., picture, chart or text).
To clean and protect the printhead, typically a "service station" mechanism is supported by the printer chassis so the printhead can be moved over the station for maintenance. For storage, or during non-printing periods, the service stations usually include a capping system which substantially seals the printhead nozzles from contaminants and drying. Some caps are also designed to facilitate priming, such as by being connected to a pumping unit that draws a vacuum on the printhead. During operation, clogs in the printhead are periodically cleared by firing a number of drops of ink through each of the nozzles in a process known as "spitting," with the waste ink being collected in a "spittoon" reservoir portion of the service station. After spitting, uncapping, or occasionally during printing, most service stations have an elastomeric wiper that wipes the printhead surface to remove ink residue, as well as any paper dust or other debris that has collected on the printhead. The wiping action is usually achieved through relative motion of the printhead and wiper, for instance by moving the printhead across the wiper, by moving the wiper across the printhead, or by moving both the printhead and the wiper.
To improve the clarity and contrast of the printed image, recent research has focused on improving the ink itself. To provide quicker, more waterfast printing with darker blacks and more vivid colors, pigment-based inks have been developed. These pigment-based inks have a higher solid content than the earlier dye-based inks, which results in a higher optical density for the new inks. Both types of ink dry quickly, which allows inkjet printing mechanisms to form high quality images on readily available and economical plain paper, as well as on recently developed specialty coated papers, transparencies, fabric and other media.
As the inkjet industry investigates new printhead designs, the tendency is toward using permanent or semi-permanent printheads in what is known in the industry as an "off-axis" printer. In an off-axis system, the printheads carry only a small ink supply across the printzone, with this supply being replenished through tubing that delivers ink from an "off-axis" stationary reservoir placed at a remote stationary location within the printer. Since these permanent or semi-permanent printheads carry only a small ink supply, they may be physically more narrow than their predecessors, the replaceable cartridges. Narrower printheads lead to a narrower printing mechanism, which has a smaller "footprint," so less desktop space is needed to house the printing mechanism during use. Narrower printheads are usually smaller and lighter, so smaller carriages, bearings, and drive motors may be used, leading to a more economical printing unit for consumers.
There are a variety of advantages associated with these off-axis printing systems, but the permanent or semi-permanent nature of the printheads requires special considerations for servicing, particularly when wiping ink residue from the printheads, which must be done without any appreciable wear that could decrease printhead life. To accomplish this objective, use of an ink solvent has been proposed. In this proposed system, the ink solvent, a polyethylene glycol ("PEG") compound is stored in a porous medium such as a plastic or foam block in intimate contact with a reservoir, with this porous block having an applicator portion exposed in such a way that the elastomeric wiper can contact the applicator. This elastomeric wiper moves across the applicator to collect PEG, which is then wiped across the printhead to dissolve accumulated ink residue and to deposit a non-stick coating of PEG on the printhead face to retard further collection of ink residue. The wiper then moves across a rigid plastic scraper to remove dissolved ink residue and dirtied PEG from the wiper before beginning the next wiping stroke. The PEG fluid also acts as a lubricant, so the rubbing action of the wiper does not unnecessarily wear the printhead. Unfortunately, this proposed system uses many parts to accomplish this wiping routine, with multiple parts requiring multiple tooling costs, ordering, inventory tracking and assembly. Moreover, over the lifetime of the printer, the PEG ink solvent may need to be replenished to maintain optimum printhead servicing.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a recycling ink solvent system is provided for cleaning an inkjet printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism. The system includes a wiper and a platform that supports the wiper for movement between a wiping position for cleaning ink residue from the printhead, a scraping position for scraping ink residue from the wiper, and an application position. The system also includes an ink solvent recycling member that has a body and a scraper portion located to scrape ink residue from the wiper when the wiper is moved to the scraping position. The recycling member body being is constructed of a porous material impregnated with an ink solvent. The recycling member body also defines an applicator portion located to apply the ink solvent to the wiper when the wiper is moved to the application position.
According to one aspect of the present invention, an ink solvent recycling member is provided for recycling ink solvent used by a wiper to clean ink residue from an inkjet printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism. The recycling member has a body defining a scraper portion located to scrape ink residue from the wiper when the wiper is moved to a scraping position. The body is constructed of a porous material impregnated with an ink solvent. The body also defines an applicator portion located to apply the ink solvent to the wiper when the wiper is moved to an application position.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for cleaning an inkjet printhead in an inkjet printing mechanism, including the steps of applying an ink solvent to a wiper, wiping ink residue from the printhead and dissolving a portion of said ink residue in the applied ink solvent. In a scraping step, the ink residue, and remaining ink solvent with ink residue dissolved therein, is scraped from the wiper onto a scraper portion of a recycling member of a porous material. In a recycling step, the ink solvent is recycled by moving the ink solvent through the porous material of the recycling member from the scraper portion of the recycling member to an applicator portion of the recycling member. While moving the ink solvent, in a filtering step, the dissolved ink residue is filtered from the ink solvent with the porous material.
According to a further aspect of the present invention, an inkjet printing mechanism may be provided with a recycling ink solvent system as described above.
An overall goal of the present invention is to provide an inkjet printing mechanism which prints sharp vivid images over the life of the printhead and the printing mechanism, particularly when using fast drying pigment or dye-based inks, and preferably when dispensed from an off-axis system.
Another goal of the present invention is to provide a recycling solvent system for cleaning printheads in an inkjet printing mechanism.
A further goal of the present invention is to provide a recycling solvent system for filtering an ink solvent for reuse in an inkjet printing mechanism.
Still another goal of the present invention is to provide a recycling solvent system for cleaning printheads in an inkjet printing mechanism, with the system having fewer parts that are easier to manufacture than earlier systems, and which thus provides consumers with a reliable, economical inkjet printing unit.

FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of an inkjet printing mechanism, here shown as an "off-axis" inkjet printer 20, constructed in accordance with the present invention, which may be used for printing for business reports, correspondence, desktop publishing, and the like, in an industrial, office, home or other environment. A variety of inkjet printing mechanisms are commercially available. For instance, some of the printing mechanisms that may embody the present invention include plotters, portable printing units, copiers, cameras, video printers, and facsimile machines, to name a few, as well various combination devices, such as a combination facsimile/printer. For convenience the concepts of the present invention are illustrated in the environment of an inkjet printer 20.
While it is apparent that the printer components may vary from model to model, the typical inkjet printer 20 includes a frame or chassis 22 surrounded by a housing, casing or enclosure 24, typically of a plastic material. Sheets of print media are fed through a printzone 25 by a media handling system 26. The print media may be any type of suitable sheet material, such as paper, card-stock, transparencies, photographic paper, fabric, mylar, and the like, but for convenience, the illustrated embodiment is described using paper as the print medium. The media handling system 26 has a feed tray 28 for storing sheets of paper before printing. A series of conventional paper drive rollers driven by a stepper motor and drive gear assembly (not shown), may be used to move the print media from the input supply tray 28, through the printzone 25, and after printing, onto a pair of extended output drying wing members 30, shown in a retracted or rest position in FIG. 1. The wings 30 momentarily hold a newly printed sheet above any previously printed sheets still drying in an output tray portion 32, then the wings 30 retract to the sides to drop the newly printed sheet into the output tray 32. The media handling system 26 may include a series of adjustment mechanisms for accommodating different sizes of print media, including letter, legal, A-4, envelopes, etc., such as a sliding length adjustment lever 34, a sliding width adjustment lever 36, and an envelope feed port 38.
The printer 20 also has a printer controller, illustrated schematically as a microprocessor 40, that receives instructions from a host device, typically a computer, such as a personal computer (not shown). The printer controller 40 may also operate in response to user inputs provided through a key pad 42 located on the exterior of the casing 24. A monitor coupled to the computer host may be used to display visual information to an operator, such as the printer status or a particular program being run on the host computer. Personal computers, their input devices, such as a keyboard and/or a mouse device, and monitors are all well known to those skilled in the art.
A carriage guide rod 44 is supported by the chassis 22 to slideably support an off-axis inkjet pen carriage system 45 for travel back and forth across the printzone 25 along a scanning axis 46. The carriage 45 is also propelled along guide rod 44 into a servicing region, as indicated generally by arrow 48, located within the interior of the housing 24. A conventional carriage drive gear and DC (direct current) motor assembly may be coupled to drive an endless belt (not shown), which may be secured in a conventional manner to the carriage 45, with the DC motor operating in response to control signals received from the controller 40 to incrementally advance the carriage 45 along guide rod 44 in response to rotation of the DC motor. To provide carriage positional feedback information to printer controller 40, a conventional encoder strip may extend along the length of the printzone 25 and over the service station area 48, with a conventional optical encoder reader being mounted on the back surface of printhead carriage 45 to read positional information provided by the encoder strip. The manner of providing positional feedback information via an encoder strip reader may be accomplished in a variety of different ways known to those skilled in the art.
In the printzone 25, the media sheet 34 receives ink from an inkjet cartridge, such as a black ink cartridge 50 and three monochrome color ink cartridges 52, 54 and 56, shown schematically in FIG. 2. The cartridges 50-56 are also often called "pens" by those in the art. The black ink pen 50 is illustrated herein as containing a pigment-based ink. While the illustrated color pens 52-56 may contain pigment-based inks, for the purposes of illustration, color pens 52-56 are described as each containing a dye-based ink of the colors cyan, magenta and yellow, respectively. It is apparent that other types of inks may also be used in pens 50-56, such as paraffin-based inks, as well as hybrid or composite inks having both dye and pigment characteristics.
The illustrated pens 50-56 each include small reservoirs for storing a supply of ink in what is known as an "off-axis" ink delivery system, which is in contrast to a replaceable cartridge system where each pen has a reservoir that carries the entire ink supply as the printhead reciprocates over the printzone 25 along the scan axis 46. Hence, the replaceable cartridge system may be considered as an "on-axis" system, whereas systems which store the main ink supply at a stationary location remote from the printzone scanning axis are called "off-axis" systems. In the illustrated off-axis printer 20, ink of each color for each printhead is delivered via a conduit or tubing system 58 from a group of main stationary reservoirs 60, 62, 64 and 66 to the on-board reservoirs of pens 50, 52, 54 and 56, respectively. The stationary or main reservoirs 60-66 are replaceable ink supplies stored in a receptacle 68 supported by the printer chassis 22. Each of pens 50, 52, 54 and 56 have printheads 70, 72, 74 and 76, respectively, which selectively eject ink to from an image on a sheet of media in the printzone 25. The concepts disclosed herein for cleaning the printheads 70-76 apply equally to the totally replaceable inkjet cartridges, as well as to the illustrated off-axis semi-permanent or permanent printheads, although the greatest benefits of the illustrated system may be realized in an off-axis system where extended printhead life is particularly desirable.
The printheads 70, 72, 74 and 76 each have an orifice plate with a plurality of nozzles formed therethrough in a manner well known to those skilled in the art. The nozzles of each printhead 70-76 are typically formed in at least one, but typically two linear arrays along the orifice plate. Thus, the term "linear" as used herein may be interpreted as "nearly linear" or substantially linear, and may include nozzle arrangements slightly offset from one another, for example, in a zigzag arrangement. Each linear array is typically aligned in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the scanning axis 46, with the length of each array determining the maximum image swath for a single pass of the printhead. The illustrated printheads 70-76 are thermal inkjet printheads, although other types of printheads may be used, such as piezoelectric printheads. The thermal printheads 70-76 typically include a plurality of resistors which are associated with the nozzles. Upon energizing a selected resistor, a bubble of gas is formed which ejects a droplet of ink from the nozzle and onto a sheet of paper in the printzone 25 under the nozzle. The printhead resistors are selectively energized in response to firing command control signals delivered by a multi-conductor strip 78 from the controller 40 to the printhead carriage 45.
FIG. 2 illustrates one form of a recycling ink solvent service station 80 constructed in accordance with the present invention. The service station 80 includes a frame 82 which is supported by the printer chassis 22 in the servicing region 48 within the printer casing 24. To service the printheads 70-76 of the pens 50-56, the service station 80 includes a moveable platform supported by the service station frame 82. Here, the servicing platform is shown as a rotary member supported by bearings or bushings (not shown) at the service station frame 82 for rotation, as illustrated by arrow 83, about an axis 84, which in the illustrated embodiment is parallel with printhead scanning axis 46. The illustrated rotary member comprises a tumbler body 85 which may have a drive gear 86 that is driven by a conventional service station motor and drive gear assembly (not shown). The tumbler 85 carries a series of servicing components, such as a capping assembly 88, into position for servicing the printheads 70-76. The capping assembly 88 preferably includes four discrete caps for sealing each of the printheads 70-76, although only a single capping unit is visible in the view of FIG. 2. The tumbler 85 may also be mounted to the service station frame 82 for movement in a vertical direction, as indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG. 2, to facilitate capping. Alternatively, the capping assembly 88 may be mounted to the tumbler 85 to move upwardly away from tumbler 85 when moved into contact with the pens 50-56 or the carriage 45, for instance, using the capping strategy first sold by the present assignee, Hewlett-Packard Company of Palo Alto, Calif., in the model 850C DeskJet� inkjet printer.
Other servicing components carried by the rotary platform 85 include a black printhead wiper 90 for servicing the black printhead 70, and three color wipers 92, 94 and 96 for servicing the respective color printheads 72, 74 and 76, although in the side view of FIG. 2, the yellow wiper 96 obscures the view of the cyan and magenta wipers 92, 94. Preferably, each of the wipers, 90-96 is constructed of a flexible, resilient, non-abrasive, elastomeric material, such as nitrile rubber, or more preferably, ethylene polypropylene diene monomer (EPDM), or other comparable materials known in the art. For wipers 90-96, a suitable durometer, that is, the relative hardness of the elastomer, may be selected from the range of 35-80 on the Shore A scale, or more preferably within the range of 60-80, or even more preferably at a durometer of 70�5, which is a standard manufacturing tolerance.
By placing the black wiper 90 along a different radial location on tumbler 85 than the radial on which the color wipers 92-96 are located, here, with the black and color wipers being shown 180� apart for the purposes of illustration, advantageously allows different wiping schemes to be employed for cleaning the black printhead 70 and for cleaning the color printheads 72-76. For instance, the color pens 52-56 carrying dye-based inks may be wiped using a faster wiping speed than required for wiping the black pen 50 which dispenses a black pigment-based ink. In the past, many service stations used wipers that required both the black and color printheads to be wiped simultaneously, so compromises had to be made between the optimum wiping speeds for the black pigment-based ink and the color dye-based inks. Problems were encountered in the past because the slower wiping strokes required to clean the black printheads extracted excess ink from the color printheads. When using a faster wiping stroke for the color pens, without allowing excess time for the color ink to seep out between the orifice plate and the wipers, the black wiper would then skip over black ink residue on the black printhead. These problems are avoided by service station 80, which places the black wiper 90 and the color wipers 92-96 at different locations around the periphery of the tumbler 85, thus allowing wiping to be optimized for both the black printhead 70 and for the color printheads 72-76. Moreover, separately wiping the black printhead 70 and the color printheads 72-76 requires less torque from the service station motor used to drive tumbler 85, so a more economical motor may be used.
As mentioned in the Background section above, the advent of permanent or semi-permanent inkjet printheads for use in off-axis printers, such as printer 20, particularly those using different types of ink, such as a pigment-based black ink and dye-based color inks, has proved challenging for service station designers. New servicing approaches were required to clean and maintain the pens to extend the life of the printheads. In studying various servicing routines, it was felt that use of an ink solvent may be the optimum approach to printhead cleaning. In particular, it would be even more desirable if the ink solvent also served to lubricate the printhead orifice plates during wiping, which would then avoid unnecessary wear or damage to the printheads, thereby insuring a long printhead life. Furthermore, it would also be desirable for the ink solvent to act as a non-stick coating, which when applied to the printhead, functions to repel ink accumulation. One such earlier wiping system, described in the Background section above, unfortunately requires a multitude of assembly parts, and may require replenishment of the solvent during the life of the printer 20.
To avoid these complications of excess assembly parts, and the need to refill the solvent system, FIG. 2 shows the recycling service station 80 as including an ink solvent recycling member or filter applicator member 100, constructed in accordance with the present invention. The recycling applicator member 100 has a body 102 which is supported by the service station frame 82, although a separate receptacle or container (not shown) may be used to mount the body 102 to the service station frame 82. Preferably, the applicator body 102 is made of a porous material, for instance, an open-cell thermoset plastic such as a polyurethane foam, a sintered polyethylene, or other functionally similar materials known to those skilled in the art.
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the recycling solvent applicator 100 in greater detail, with FIG. 4 also showing the tumbler platform 85 and one of the wipers for illustration, here, wiper 90. After stroking the printheads 70-76, ink residue is collected on the wipers 90-96, as illustrated by black ink residue 104 on wiper 90. Preferably, the recycling body 102 is impregnated or soaked with an inkjet ink solvent, preferably a hygroscopic material that absorbs water out of the air, because water is a good solvent for the illustrated inks. Suitable hygroscopic solvent materials include polyethylene glycol ("PEG"), lipponic-ethylene glycol ("LEG"), diethylene glycol ("DEG"), glycerin or other materials known to those skilled in the art as having similar properties. These hygroscopic materials are liquid or gelatinous compounds that will not readily dry out during extended periods of time because they have an almost zero vapor pressure. For the purposes of illustration, the applicator body 102 is soaked with the preferred ink solvent, PEG 105.
In the illustrated embodiment, for use with wipers 90-96 mounted on the rotary platform 85, the body 102 has a roughly horseshoe-shaped configuration, with a residue depositing end or scraper 106 and a solvent applicator end 108. As shown in FIG. 4, any ink residue 104, as well as any excess PEG remaining on wiper 90 after cleaning the printhead 70, is deposited onto the surface of the scraper end 106. Some of this residue 104 may eventually flake off and fall toward the bottom of the spittoon frame 82, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 4 by arrow 109.
As illustrated from the varying thickness of the cross-hatching in FIGS. 3 and 4, the recycling body 102 is preferably composed of two or more different sections having different capillary pressures, here provided by different porosities. FIG. 3 shows the body 102 as having two or more sections of different densities, here illustrated by the spacings of the shading lines which are shown wider apart for the more porous material which has a lower capillary pressure, and more closely spaced as the pores become smaller in size where the body 102 has a higher capillary pressure. In the illustrated embodiment, the recycling body 102 is shown as having six sections or stages with increasing capillary pressures provided by decreasing pore sizes, here shown as segments or stages 110, 112, 114, 116, 118 and 120, with the first segment 110 being at the scraper end 106 having the coarsest pores, and the applicator end 108 being formed by the finest pore size at the last segment 120. The smaller diameter pore sizes encourage the ink solvent to flow under increasing capillary pressures as shown by arrows 122 in FIG. 4, from the first stage, coarsest pore segment 110 through subsequent stages 112, 114, 116, 118 and finally into the last stage 120, at the applicator end 108. This flow of the PEG ink solvent 105 is accomplished using a wicking action provided by capillary forces which draw the liquid solvent into increasingly smaller areas, here provided by the decreasing pore sizes of stages 110-120.
In FIG. 4, the stippled shading illustrates ink particles 124, which are carried by the PEG through body 102. As the PEG moves through body 102, the pigment particles become entrapped along the passageways connecting the pores of the segments 110-120, so body 102 functions as a filter that cleans the ink pigments or dye particles from the PEG solvent. This is shown by the stippling in FIG. 4 being fairly dense at the scrapper end 106 of segment 110, and then decreasing in density to be barely noticeable, shown as ink particles 124' in the final pore stage 120 at the applicator end 108. Thus, the recycling solvent applicator 100 serves to cleanse the PEG solvent of ink particles as the PEG travels via wicking or capillary action through body 102 from the scraper end 106 to the applicator end 108.
Moreover, the low ratio of pigment to solvent advantageously prevents the pigment particles from coagulation. The ink solvent 105 within body 102 advantageously redistributes the black pigment particles into a solution or suspension that stops the interlocking process for which these particles have an affinity. The illustrated pigment-based black ink is designed to form a sticky matrix as the ink dries to prevent the ink from "bleeding" by migrating into the fibers of the print media. Thus, these interlocking pigment particles produce printed images having crisp, sharp edges which is particularly important when printing black text. Furthermore, the liquid components of both the black and color inks also serve as ink solvents in addition to the PEG ink solvent 105 inside the body 102.
It is apparent that while the body 102 is illustrated for use with a rotary wiper system having wipers mounted on tumbler 85, the body 102 may be easily modified in shape to clean residue from the wipers and then apply PEG to wipers mounted on other types of servicing platforms, such as a translational or sliding platform, although the original design was conceived for the rotary wiping system illustrated in the drawings. Indeed, rather than mounting the recycling member 100 along the bottom surface of the service station frame 82, in other embodiments it may be more preferable to mount the recycling member 100 along the side of an upright wall. Alternatively, the recycling member 100 may be suspended from a ceiling portion of a service station frame or support, with the wipers then moving underneath the recycling member 100 for scraping and application of the ink solvent 105, which is quite practicable because the preferred ink solvents have a surface tension so that when embedded in the recycling member 102, the capillary pressure will not allow the solvent 105 to drain out, even when upside-down from the views of FIGS. 3 and 4. It is also apparent that for the purposes of illustration, the filter body 102 has been shown as a symmetrically shaped member, it may prove advantageous to construct the scraper end 106 to have a different configuration than the applicator end 108, which could aid in ease of assembly, and prevent mis-assembly of the applicator body 102 into the service station frame 82.
While only the black wiper 90 is illustrated as being cleaned in FIG. 4, it is apparent that the body 102 is preferably a unitary member extended in width across the printer 20 (parallel to the scanning axis 46, and here in FIG. 4, into the plane of the drawing sheet) to also scrape and apply solvent 105 to the color wipers 92-96. alternatively, it may prove beneficial to have four separate solvent recycling bodies 102, one for each wiper 90, 92, 94 and 96. In another embodiment, it may be preferable to have two recycling bodies, one for the black pigment-based ink wiper 90, and the other body 102 for all of the color dye-based ink wipers 92-96.
While six varying porosity segments 110-120 are shown for wiper body 102, it may be more preferable to have a single segment with gradually decreasing pore size. Alternatively, it may be preferable to have fewer segments, such as only two or three segments, or to have segments varying in length and in cross sectional areas. For instance, it may prove advantageous to have the scraper end first segment 110 be of a larger volume to provide a longer path for greater coarse filtering capability, with a smaller volume intermediate section to more rapidly move the solvent toward the final finest-pore segment at the applicator end 108. Alternatively, a coarse initial section may in some embodiments be relatively a short path for the PEG to flow through, with a longer intermediate section for PEG travel and smaller-sized ink particle filtering. Thus, by controlling the pore size and the volume of each segment, the speed of solvent travel through the body 102 may be adjusted. Other adjustments may be made to the body segments to not only control speed of flow, but to also control various filtering aspects of the body 102. For instance, when using different types of inks, coarser particulate matter from one ink type may be collected in one of the first stages, while finer ink particles from another type of ink being collected in one of the later, smaller-pore stages.
Other variations may be made to body 102 to vary the filtering and flow performance aspects of the solvent recycling system 100. For instance, a screen of a well-defined pore size may be insert-molded into the body 102 to more tightly control the filtering aspects of body 102. Such an insert-molded screen could be of a metal or a plastic, or a pierced member, or a woven or non-woven fabric. As another example, in a preferred embodiment the body 102 may be constructed of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) which is plasma-treated to have an affinity with PEG solvent 105. This plasma treatment process may be controlled to adjust the body's capillary gradient to change the wetting angle through the recycling system 100.
In plasma treating, the entire body 102 is placed in a pressure-controlled cavity wherein the residing air is substantially evacuated, after which a gas is added to the cavity and a high frequency voltage is applied to the cavity. This high frequency voltage turns the gas into a plasma which then changes the surface chemistry of the solid by replacing some HDPE atoms with atoms from the gas. Through this plasma treatment process, the surface energy of the plastic can be drastically altered, and in the illustrated embodiment, this surface energy is raised, resulting in a smaller wetting angle, which in turn yields a larger capillary pressure. Typical gas additives are nitrous oxide, oxygen, or helium. Following this plasma treating process, the ink solvent 105 may be impregnated within the body 102 through immersion within liquid solvent 105. Alternatively, the body 102 may be force-filled with ink solvent 105 by drawing a vacuum through these components to eliminate air within the pores, followed by introduction of the ink solvent, which would eliminate the need for plasma treating.
FIG. 5 shows an alternate embodiment of an ink solvent recycling member or filter applicator member 130, constructed in accordance with the present invention, for use in recycling service station 80. Actually, FIG. 5 shows several concepts which may be used altogether as shown, or which may be employed separately. Specifically FIG. 5 illustrates the concepts of (1) a separate scraper member, (2) a reservoir containing a liquid pool of solvent, (3) and the use of gravity feed in addition to capillary pressure to draw the solvent from the scraper entrance end to the applicator exit end.
The recycling applicator member 130 has a frame 132, which is supported by the service station frame 82, and a segmented body preferably made of the same type of porous material described above for body 102. The first part of this recycling body is located at an entrance to member 130, and includes a first stage 134 followed by a second stage 135 having a pore size smaller than stage 134. The second part of the segmented recycling body is located at an exit or applicator end of member 130, and includes an intermediate stage 136 and a final stage 138 which has a pore size smaller than stage 134.
A container 140 defines a reservoir chamber 142 therein, as well as an inlet port 144 and an outlet port 146. The reservoir 142 contains a supply of liquid ink solvent 105. The container inlet port 144 receives the second stage 135 of the recycling body, while the outlet port 146 receives the intermediate stage 136 of the body. Thus, the container 140 fluidically couples the entrance portions 134, 135 of the recycling body to the exit portions 136, 138 for fluid flow through capillary pressure from the first stage 134 to the final stage 138. By elevating the first stage 134 above the second stage 135, the force of gravity, illustrated by arrow 148, advantageously assists in promoting fluid flow through the stages 134 and 135, in addition to the flow provided by capillary pressure from the difference in pore sizes between stages 134 and 135.
The recycling applicator member 130 also has a scraper portion, here shown as a rigid scraper 150 with a first scraper edge 152 for cleaning the wipers 90-96 when rotated by tumbler 85 in the direction of arrow 83. The scraper 150 has a second scraper edge 154 to clean the other surface of the wiper blade if desired, when the tumbler 85 is rotated in a direction opposite to arrow 83. Scraped ink residue 104 is shown along a drain surface 156 of the scraper 150, with droplets of ink solvent 105 shown dropping under the force of gravity 148 onto the first stage 134. The relative shading and stippling of the body segments 134-138 represents the variations in pore sizes and the relative amounts ink 124, 124' within the stages 134-138, as described above with respect to FIG. 4. As the solvent 105 travels through the recycling member 130, initial filtering of ink occurs in stages 134 and 135, with the solvent 105 exiting stage 135 shown dripping under the force of gravity 148 into the solvent pool within the reservoir 142. Capillary forces draw the solvent 105 from the reservoir 142 into the intermediate stage 136, then into the final stage 138, which forms an applicator portion 158 of member 130. The wiper 90 is shown in dashed lines receiving ink solvent 105 from the applicator 158, beginning a new wiping stroke sequence.
Thus, the recycling ability of solvent applicator 100 serves to preserve and clean PEG within the service station 80, and prolong the life of the service station 80 without requiring unnecessary refilling of the ink solvent 105 during the lifespan of the printer 20. Furthermore, the filter applicator 100 advantageously allows clean ink solvent 105 to be readily available at the applicator end 108 for subsequent wiping strokes, as the capillary action of body 102 continually draws the solvent 105 through the body 102 toward the applicator end 108. As a further advantage, the solvent applicator 100 advantageously provides several functions which required separate parts in previously proposed designs, here acting (1) as a wiper cleaner at the scraper end 106, (2) as a storage body or reservoir for the ink solvent 105, (3) as a solvent applicator 108, and finally (4) as a solvent recycling cleaner or filter, all accomplished within a single part. Thus, use of the applicator I 00 advantageously expedites assembly of the printer 20, while reducing the number of parts required to assemble the service station 80, which provides consumers with a more economical printer product 20.

ShopRite: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Puglia province of Italy, ShopRite's Extra Virgin Olive Oil caused quite a stir among the PLMA focus group panel, with judges applauding its taste/value equation.
"It had the aromatic qualities of an extra virgin olive oil and had a premium taste to it, especially since the price was $6," said Bret Thorn, assistant editor at Nation's Restaurant News and PLMA panel judge. "It still had some of those appealing kind of grassy qualities that o

Easy location They first gav me a smoking room, but I refused it because I clearly reserved a non smoking room; then the only choice they gave me was a very small room with a small bed against the wall for the same price
Fine hotel, nice room and a good breakfast. Worth the 10,-- extra No bath in the room, wifi not free.
The excellent hospitality
Very quiet.
Did not have access to English language TV even after having complained
Parking, internet, clean, value for money, easy access, quite, 8km from downtown Rooms are smaller than expected, no coffee machine in tge room, provide only one bath towels, mini bar is very expensive, no complimentary water bottle in the room.
Pleasant atmosphere. Good price for the breakfast. Good temperature on the rooms, although it was warm. Very nice bathroom! The food in the restaurant was rather nice. The spa is nice. It's not 4 star in my book (rather 3), but the price is accordingly. I would like to see the bill before I pay, not get it in an envelope after paying. The whole hotel looked empty and the restaurant was deserted on Saturday evening (food was good though). Didn't see the solarium in the spa. Pay-TV didn't work and - apart from cnn/bbcw - no English tv.
quietness and far away from the city noise had some but not really
Excelent hotel, good price, good staff. Internet is not wifi. Your need to pay 8 euros per hour.
Nice bar terrace area - good food
Very good fitness/leisure centre. Room was spacious and very quiet. Breakfast buffet was extensive and waitering staff were very good. Location (usually - see below) very good. Plumbing was of a surprisingly poor standard for such a brand new hotel; the bathroom floor was flooded on the first morning of our stay due to poor drainage and there was no curtain over the bath, meaning that taking a shower mean the room became flooded. What disappointed us most, though, was the fact that the Kurpark, which the details about the hotel had shown (correctly) as immediately adjacent to the hotel, was closed off and only accessible (at a cost of 14.00 Euros) as part of the Regional Garden Show running until October. This meant that one of the primary reasons we had chosen this hotel (its location) was much less in accordance with the actual situation than we had anticipated.
The location near the park Distance to reception from frontentry too far
Breakfast was very good. Room was large although beds were low to the Ground. No Shampoo, conditioner, etc. Only a dispenser on the wall. Not to be compared to business amenities at the Hilton.
Very nice location in the "Kurpark"
Very efficient, clean, good parking. Souless, but it was only 6 days before christmas.
The Dolce is situated next to the park, is very quiet and has an excellent breakfast buffet. It is close to Frankfurt, so very easy to get there (40km by car)
We loved the location and enjoyed the traditional style, architecture and feeling of the hotel. Pool was a nice bonus.
The staff at the front desk were super. Their attitude was cheerful and courteous and the help given re train schedules and calling for taxis was very much appreciated. It was too hot in the room - ceiling fans would have helped.
The facility of taking Bus , near to the main train station. I stayed 6 nights , there was no hot water in the morning for 2 different days ; i called the reception but i realised that they were confused and they never gave me convincing answers!! I guess that hotel with 3* stars should not have such problems. Thank you for your comprehension!
The location is excellant and right on the edge of Hanau's shopping district. The train station is just a short ride away and from there Frankfurt airport is easily and quickly accessed The ac did not work in the room and it had to be 95f to 100f until well after dark. Also it is one of the few hotels where breakfast is extra and it is 15 e extra per person which is a lot of money for a buffet breakfast. It would be impossible in North America for instance to spend $30 anywhere for breakfast for two people. It should be included as that is normal in Germany . since te room price was good it was not a big deal but it is a pain just the same and an unnecessary one.
Air con not working and very poor breakfast.
helpful staff
Welcome and service to the hotel. Name change was very recent to Arcadia, so there was no sign outside the hotel.This will be fixed this week.
Clean , good size of room efficient checking in checking out Actually price is too high it should be the given price incl breakfast
Breakfast was included even though we didn´t know that. And it was a good buffé. The rooms was large and clean. The staff was a bit confused when they were suposed to give us our keays when we came back after a day out in Hanau.
The room was spacious and most of the staff were friendly There was no hot water at night and therefore had to have a cold shower!
Rooms were ok Air conditioning didnt worked at all.
The restaurant was closed- we had a rather long way to go to find another!
Good service, easy parkingg, excellent breakfast, easy to find if you are driving. The third bed (additional) for a child was not comfortable.
10 minute walk from the train station
Helpfullness of staff
The Hotel Rosenau is a very nice hotel, all rooms with good comfort, free internet in the rooms, nice warm bathrooms, good breakfast. Also the city is very nice with nice shops and good selection of restaurants, Parking area is too small.
Friendly personnel at the front desk
Very friendly staff, hotel room is very clean... very high value for money
I didn't like the fact that there was a smelly dog lying in reception when I got there that refused to move. The receptionist - an aged gentleman wasn't very forthcoming with information or of any assistance, parking was horrendous. The 'shower room' was an after thought within the bedroom, which was little more than a trickle. I was kept awake by the television in the next room being too loud, and was woken at 5.45 once again by the tv next door!! All in all I would neither stay there again or recommmend the hotel.
Very comfortable historical hotel in the center of the city
employees were extremely helpful and nice, i had a very nice room 201 with beautiful view of course the toilet in the middle of the room is not ideal
This was one of the most pleasant places we stayed. The room was immaculate, Frau Siegsmund, the owner, was extremely accommodating. She even offered to go to town with me to help me buy presents for my daughters. The meals were good and the dining room let us eat even after we overslept .
The hotel's germany traditional style and location (near to station) were good.
Friendly staff and good location near shopping area No english TV or newspapers. Pillows very hard (foam) - I prefer soft pillows (feather).
Historical very lovely guiet hotel with friendly staff . Good location.
kindness of staff see before
Hotel lies about Airport shuttle service, cost $100 to get to the airport, not worth it!
The bed was very comfortable, room was also very clean. but was situated in a building next to the main hotel and there was a strange smell in the corridors room was situated in a building next to the main hotel and there was a strange smell in the corridors
Excellent, helpful staff
The staff was very friendly - we arrived very late (3am) after being stuck in a terrible traffic jam, but received a friendly welcome and were allowed a later checkout time. The room was large, very stylish (a 19th century feel), comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was excellent (though quite expensive at 17 euros pp). We chose this hotel because it had airco, which was important because our dog has a heart condition and needs airco in hot weather - unfortunately, the airco in our room was very weak and insufficient.
Very smartly refurbished and modern rooms, large bathroom and great breakfast. High recommendations.
We had a great apartman with little kitchen, the beds were separated which bothered us at first but the matraces were fantastic. Location right in the historic city center. It was VERY hard to find parking close to the hotel and in addition there was some festival and therefore it was forbidden to go close to the hotel with car at all. Also we werent informed that we had to pay extra for breakfast and at the end we had to pay additional 10 EUR per person per night for it.
Very clean, good breakfast choice, very new, very comfortable, convenient location for exploring, not too big so as to be impersonal, all together a lovely hotel No complaints at all
We stayed in the apartment and it was really lovely, comfortable, quiet, and right on one of the main squares. There were many little extras in the room, design-wise. The staff was accommodating and friendly. We didn't realize that none of the rooms are equipped with a separate bedroom. We were traveling with a baby and wanted to be able to put her in a separate bedroom earlier in the evening. Although the hotel doesn't have parking, there was a city lot a couple of blocks away that only cost 12 euros overnight.
Extremly friendly and helpful staff bed could have been a little more comfortable
The cleanliness of the hotel and quiet place. The mattresses were not very comfortable.
The setting was lovely. This stop over was in conjunction with a Family Reunion and our visit to Oberswein on Sunday for a church service. The dinner and breakfast were delightful. Your wait staff is charming. The night desk clerk had difficulty is locating our reservation for two rooms and the morning clerk had issues on check out caused by the check in process. It was, however, handled well. Thank you.
Everything was fine.
it is mentioned that the hotel is family run , Actually you will feel it is Run by YOUR family, Really a wonderful experience
Excellent hotel, well presented rooms great owners and very helpfull None
Very friendly atmosphere
very friendly staff and very good breakfast no hi-speed internet connection in the room
Not knowing anything about Schotten we booked this hotel because of its proximity to Frankfurt as we were flying back to Aust. 2 days later. This is a great small hotel - only four rooms - the owners were extemely welcoming and accommodating - breakfast was great and the rooms are very spacious, almost self contained apartments.
I loved everything about this hotel. The Wegners are wonderful, helpful hosts.The hotel is charming and one of a kind--obviously a labor of love. Incredible breakfasts, comfortable beds, books and board games for guest use, complimentary mineral water and juice--all in a beautifully restored house in a lovely setting. More like a visit with old friends than a stay in a hotel.
It is one of the best hotels we ever stayed! The hosts were very hearty and helpful. The room is comfortable, everything is made with love. There is very nice restaurant on the first floor. We were extremely happy living there.
Great Service, all what you need is there. Breakfast was also super.
Exceptional staff, very helpful. Great Breakfast. Large Room with Internet. It's remote, you need to be in the area or traveling through to take advantage of this great hotel.
Tonya at the front desk was a star employee, she helped us out many times in our short stay. The restaurant up the road from the hotel on the left side had great food but are closed on Mondays.
The breakfast was really good, the staff spoke very good english The only thing was the dinning hall was not open over the period that we stayed. Also the tv was only in german except for news chanels.
Location. It was clean, cofortable, and close to where I wanted to go The staff, only one key. when my wife went to the room I had no key to get into the hotel. I rang the bell and eventually a woman came down to open the door to the hotel. She gave me such a tongue lashing for not having my key that I will never forget. I would not talk to a child like that let alone to sombody twice my age. We will never stay there again.
The room was clean and the breakfast was good Our interaction with the staff was not good. They gave the impression that they were doing us a favour by letting us stay there. One verbal exchange with our friend was very embarrassing to to both my friend and me.
we liked the location of the hotel to the town and the Elvis sights no tea or coffee in our room
Cheap and quiet hotel, comfortable location, good breakfast and very smart hotel staff.
I love the location close to the Centre and the Kurpark, and away from a main road. No
Super-friendly people who genuinely care about their customers (not just 'being polite'), spacious room. Struggling to think of any
Friendliness of staff. Cleanliness of room. Excellent breakfast! Nothing
All > No.
The food is world class Internet access was intermittent
One of the nicest hotel rooms we have ever had. All staff friendly, courteous and helpful. Restaurant and staff amazing. No tea making facilities in room.
Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff combined with tradition rich hotel and wonderful food in the restaurant. Minor issue with the strength of the wireless internet connection-- easily remedied.
cvery good breakfast and nice and big rooms Internet connection not available in the room (at least not in the depandance were I stay).
Sauna, water pool and food are very serious advantage of a hotel Everything was good enough
Staff was very friendly, spoke English, and went out there way to help us with any questions we had. There was no horse back riding as the hotel had advertised, we were not able to get massages either.
The hotel is very well situated and very quiet
clean room, excellent breakfest
enough parking spaces the hotel's interia looked old and dirty. Poor service in the breakfast area. Initial room was hot like a sauna, window was jammed open and hanging on one hinge! Second room was hotter than the first one and looked like it hadn't been cleaned properly, almost no soap or shampoo. Not very friendly staff on reception when checking out.
The food was excellent and enough, bathroom was clean, heat was optimal, center of Frankfurt is not far away. The only thing that I notice is extremly small rooms. But, it is not a big problem, because it doesn't change functionality of room or staying in hotel.
Sauna and indoor swimming pool The service is very poor, during breakfast, yogurt, cheese, eggs where missing and nobody was around to take care of this things. I needed to wait 20 minutes in order to get a coffee because the coffee maschine was not self-service and nobody was at the Breakfast lounge to take care of the customers. Rooms are very basics and not very clean.
Pleasant atmosphere. Good facilities. Room much too hot.
It's quiet and comfortable. The internet is really slow. Probably it needs to improve.
Staff extremely helpful and friendly Very clean and comfortable No English on TV
The breakfast was excellent.
breakfast is good a bit expensive
Very Nice people and very welcoming No

|Saif al-Islam Gaddafi in court in Zintan.
Muammar Gaddafi's British-educated son was released from death row in Libya earlier this year and now appears to be at large even though he faces charges at the International Criminal Court. (ICC)
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the ousted dictator's most prominent son, was sentenced to die by firing squad last year and was thought to be in prison in the western city of Zintan.
It has now emerged he was in fact released from in April and his whereabouts are unknown.
A document apparently from Libya's temporary ministry of justice ordered his release under an amnesty law following appeals by elders from the Gaddafi tribe.
Gaddafi's British lawyer, Karim Khan, told France 24 that his client was freed on April 12 and "is well and safe and in Libya".
News of his release may stir tensions in Libya, especially as he was let go by militias in Zintan, a province that is already at odds with the other leading elements of Libya's UN-backed unity government.
The 44-year-old was the most western-oriented of Col Gaddafi's eight children and well known in British society.
He studied at the London School of Economics and received a PhD - part of which he was subsequently accused of plagiarising.
Some Western diplomats hoped he would eventually replace his dictator father and lead Libya to economic and political reforms.
But when the Libyan uprising began in 2011 he sided with his father's regime and vowed to crush the revolt.
He was captured in November 2011, just a few weeks after the elder Gaddafi was killed, and later charged in a Libyan court with war crimes.
The sentence of death handed down by a Tripoli court last year was widely criticised by the UN and human rights groups who said that Gaddafi had not been given a fair trial.
He is still wanted by the ICC to face charges for his role during the Libyan uprising. International prosecutors allege he was responsible for crimes against humanity and murder during the 2011 conflict.

Brazilfw is a mini-distribution designed for setting up network utility services such as Internet connection sharing, firewalling, or wireless access points. The goal is to make it as quick and easy as possible to set up a Linux system with only a minimal amount of Linux knowledge. The main goal of BrazilFW is to continue the development of what was the Coyote Linux floppy firewall system.
MBCD (MultiBootCD) is a shell script to make a customized CD-ROM that can boot any kind and any number of image files. Currently, 4 types of images are supported: floppy images (1.2M, 1.44M, or 2.88M), Knoppix-like images, kernel-binary images (e.g. memtest86), and the Windows XP Recovery Console.
The Project Akita OS (Orange OS) was started with the intent to design a lightweight operating system. It contains a small kernel designed for those interested in the low-level, practical aspects of building an x86 system. The host development environment is designed to work around the Bochs x86 emulator, so that you can easily test changes to the kernel.
Tunix is a set of tools used to generate small bootable Linux images. It can be used to learn how to roll your own distribution, or to port embedded systems. The basic release uses busybox and has a kernel with netfilter-enabled modules. A uclibc iptables binary is included, so you can roll your small firewall from a floppy.
alcolix is a minimal Linux rescue distribution with the goals of being small, compatible, and very usable. It has a cozy shell and a multitude of partition rescue/editing tools, all based on up-to-date releases (e.g., 2.4.x kernel with USB support). It uses cpio.bz2 data disks and has a full GRUB bootloader, memtest86, and more.
PXE Knife is a tool for booting various floppy based utilities via syslinux, allowing them to be booted off a CD, a hard drive, or over the network via PXE. PXE Knife can be used with a number of commonly used tools such as hard drive manufacturer's utilities, memory testers, Linux recovery disks, Windows password changers, pre-configured PXE Knoppix booters (just add DVD), and a number of other utilities. It takes advantage of syslinux's menu system, so it's easy to navigate.
NanoNAS is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server operating system designed to transform a basic computer into a dedicated HTTP, SMB/CIFS, or AFP file server. It fits on a single floppy disk and is intended for use in any low-security environment or application that requires the simultaneous availability of large amounts of inexpensive networked storage.By design, it is a community workgroup server and does not support features such as user management, disk quotas, or the ability to join domains. However, it is very easy to set-up, to administer, and to use.

I will only look after one dog or family of dogs at a time as I feel it is only fair to give my visiting friends the attention they deserve. I am not running a kennel and want a family home environment where your dog is happy and relaxed and feels welcome, loved and secure.+ More

Police: West Texas pastor convinced victim to have sex during 'true religious ritual'
Updated 8:29 am, Friday, October 9, 2015
A 69-year-old pastor in El Paso faces charges of sexual assault after convincing an alleged victim to have sex with him as part of a "true religious ritual."
El Paso Police arrested Noel Jimenez, pastor at the Iglesia Alabanza y Adoracion church, and charged him with sexual assault, according to a Thursday news release.
Police allege that Jimenez "sought out a victim who was emotionally dependent on him as a clergyman."
RELATED: Records: West Texas missionary admitted to sexually assaulting 11 boys at African orphanage
"The sexual assault was committed by convincing the victim into believing the act was a true religious ritual," police said in a release.

The release did not specify the victim's age or gender.
El Paso police are seeking witnesses and potential victims and ask them to call the El Paso Police Department at 915-212-4040 or Crime Stopper at 915-566-8477.
Jimenez was released from the El Paso County Detention Center on Thursday on a $75,000 bond.

In Katzrin, there is a site with the archaeological remains of a Talmudic village. While in Katzrin, don't miss the Golan Archaeological museum – there's a great video about Gamla and artifacts found on the Golan.
Hike to see Rujm el-Hiri, a cultic site from the Chalcolithic period. http://israel-tourguide.info/2011/11/04/rujm-el-hiri-revisited/
Visit some of the 25 synagogues found on the Golan. Near Kibbutz Natur is the site of Um el Kanatir, a Jewish town and synagogue from the 6th century.

A/N: This one-shot has a different kind of mood than my other ones. I'm not quite sure how it turned out to be, but again, thoughts would be REALLY appreciated. REALLY.
Disclaimer: Who am I kidding here? Don't own Doctor Who.
In the Morning
He thinks this might be the first real time they've argued.
And it feels—
He doesn't want to describe it. Doesn't. Makes it more genuine.
He doesn't know what they're arguing about now. He guesses he never really did. But his hearts are pumping, and the anger still feels oh so real.
Rose is looking at him. Her anger is in her eyes—usually filled with—
And her lips are parted—was she going to say something? He wonders if it would finally break him.
Or maybe she broke him a long time ago. Did he do the same to her?
The silence, for once, sounds deafening to the Doctor. And for once, he can't tell where this is going to go.
He's bloody brilliant, he tells himself. But she manages—
Manages to do what? he asks himself. Make him feel like an idiot?
The silence has gone on entirely too long now. He thinks he should know exactly how many seconds, but he doesn't.
Not this time.
The anger coursing through him is gone now. He thinks hers has vanished too.
Now they're left here, standing. He hates it. Hates it.
They're not supposed to be like this. He knows that perhaps more than anything else, more than anything else in the universe.
He knows a lot, he supposes. A lot more than most people.
Was that supposed to make him feel better? (It didn't.)
And now Rose is gone. He even hates the way that sentence sounds in his head.
She'll stay in her room, and he'll stay in the control room. And in the hours from now until daybreak, they'll stay locked in those positions.
And she'll come out, and he thinks he'll be the first to offer a smile. He knows they'll probably go back to the way things were before.
He decides he hates the word probably too.
Because as much as he knows her, he doesn't know this.
Arguing. Such a strange word for him.
And more than anything, he hates this—
Because he knows how he feels about her, and it isn't hate.
Because they've gone past ever being just two people, and he hopes she knows it too.
He does.
He wants to see her face, even just a glimpse of her blond hair.
(Who is he kidding here?)
He wants to see all of her, and he thinks then this silence might just go away. Not even the stars would be company tonight. He wants her.
And then he thinks that a good thing that she decided to stay here, with him, forever. He wouldn't want it any other way.
And he supposes that in the morning, no matter how sudden it will seem, he'll tell her that.

For years British tennis has been waiting for a rivalry to stimulate the game and on Wednesday Laura Robson has a chance to make a statement to her friend and contemporary Heather Watson. Watson, ranked 102 in the world, held the US Open spellbound for two hours and 34 minutes on the Arthur Ashe Court on Monday when she gave the former world No1, Maria Sharapova, a stirring fight in the first round.
On Wednesday Robson – two years younger than the Guernsey teenager at 17 but who has been burdened with the expectations of a nation since winning the junior title at Wimbledon three years ago – experiences round two of a slam for the second time when she plays the 30th seed, Anabel Medina Garrigues. It is a tough assignment – but hardly in the class of Watson's against Sharapova.
In the past month, the 29-year-old Spaniard lost to the Wimbledon champion, Petra Kvitova, in the second round in Toronto and reached the quarter-finals at New Haven but had to pull out with a knee injury before her match against the Italian Open champion, Francesca Schiavone.
The knee was in working order in the first round here, as she toughed it out to beat the Italian qualifier Karin Knapp 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3. That struggle in the first set will encourage Robson, who had the benefit of a retirement win over the Japanese Ayumi Morita.
Robson and Watson did not get to swap good wishes, as their schedules clashed, but Watson said later: "I think it's a good rivalry. We're friends and we support each other. But at the same time, when we see each other doing well, of course we're competitive, that's why we're in this sport. We want to do better than the other one."
Not exactly a diatribe from the David Haye school of pre-fight hype, but it is a start. On Tuesday, the women's tournament resumed normal service after the shock first-round exit of Kvitova on Monday.
The fourth seed, Victoria Azarenka, gave up only four games in 70 minutes to dismiss Johanna Larsson of Sweden. The Bulgarian is a win away from playing Serena Williams. "To win these titles," she said when reminded she had also lost to Li Na, the eventual champion, in Paris, "you have to beat the best players." Obvious but undeniable.
The world No1, Caroline Wozniacki, looks to have rediscovered her best tennis after a worrying blip, and beat Spain's Nuria Llagostera Vives 6-3, 6-1.

Overview Edit
NATO's Cyber Defense Policy and Action Plan reflects the steps the Alliance has taken to mature its cyber capabilities. These steps aim to enhance the political and operational mechanism of NATO's response capability and expand training and assistance to improve defenses of Alliance national militaries. The main elements of the new approach include:
- 1. Realization that cyber defense is required to perform NATO's core tasks of collective defense and crisis management;
- 2. Prevention, resilience, and defense of cyber assets critical to NATO and its constituent Allies;
- 3. Implementation of robust cyber defense capabilities and centralized protection of NATO's own networks;
- 4. Definition of minimum requirements for cyber defense of national networks critical to NATO's core tasks;
- 5. Assistance to the Allies to achieve a minimum level of cyber defense to reduce vulnerabilities of national critical infrastructure; and
- 6. Engagement with partners, other international organizations, the private sector, and academia.
