HONG KONG Even if China doesn't love U.S. debt right now, it can't leave it.
China, the U.S. government's largest creditor, has much to lose if U.S. lawmakers can't reach an agreement to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by Aug. 2. But China and other foreign creditors have limited options for their currency reserves besides the massive U.S. debt market.
If the U.S. government defaults — a scenario widely seen as unlikely — it might not be able to make good on its debt to China. In a technical default, in which it pays its creditors late, the U.S. credit rating would fall, and that would make China's Treasury holdings less valuable on the secondary market. The value of the dollar would also fall in a default, which means goods produced in China would cost more in the U.S., potentially hurting China's export business.
Yet the U.S. debt market remains the place to be, at least for the bulk of foreign currency reserves, because it's liquid enough to allow creditors to easily buy and sell. Alternatives such as euro-denominated debt also aren't always attractive, given the fiscal crisis that has spread across that region.
Last week, China Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the Chinese government hopes "the U.S. government adopts responsible policy measures in real earnest to protect investors' interests."
His remarks came after a warning by the Moody's ratings agency that U.S. government bonds may lose their AAA credit rating because of the debt impasse. Standard & Poor's has said there's a 50% chance that it will downgrade its rating on long-term U.S. debt within 90 days. Chinese credit-rating agency Dagong Global is also threatening to downgrade U.S. debt.
China holds $1.16 trillion in U.S. debt, followed by Japan with $912.4 billion and the United Kingdom with $346.5 billion. Even though the U.S. has reached its borrowing limit, foreign demand for its debt remains strong. After five months of declines, China boosted its holdings of U.S. debt for the second-consecutive month in May by $7.3 billion, according to U.S. Treasury data released Monday.
Analysts believe that China's stockpile of U.S. debt is even higher. The Treasury's monthly data reflect only China's debt purchases from the mainland, but China is also buying Treasuries through Hong Kong and the U.K.
Stephen Green, head of greater China research for Standard Chartered, estimates that China's U.S. debt holdings are closer to $2 trillion.
Still, China appears to be diversifying its currency reserves. Green's analysis shows it's likely that China is buying fewer U.S. dollar assets this year than in previous years with its new currency reserves.
Instead, China may be scooping up a greater amount of European bonds and Asian debt, Green says.
"It is possible that China has found a new way to disguise its purchases of U.S. government issuance," Green wrote in a June report. "But the more likely explanation is that China is diversifying away from U.S. assets at the margin — buying proportionally less U.S. paper with its new (foreign exchange) reserves."
The U.S. debt impasse could give China additional incentive to diversify away from U.S. Treasuries.
"If the U.S. proves to be unreliable, that gives China cause for concern," says Brian Battle, a director at Performance Trust, an asset management firm in Chicago.
Any diversification, however, is likely to be gradual so it won't shake up the markets and hurt China's own holdings, says Sean Callow, a Sydney-based senior currency strategist for Westpac Banking.

Contemplative Prayer is a method of silent prayer or meditation to help us listen to God's word within us. Whether you are interested in learning about this type of prayer or are already practicing, all are welcome. After our prayer, we read and discuss the upcoming Sunday readings which can result in some lively discussions due to questions and differences of opinion. We meet every Wednesday night in homes near Zilker Park.
Contact: Janice Godwin
Our community of mothers of young children gathers for prayer with each other and our children, shares the Gospel and enjoys fellowship with other Catholic mothers. The mission of our community is to know and serve Jesus Christ through our children and the larger community.
We accomplish this through faith sharing on the upcoming Gospel reading, discussing books related to parenthood or spiritual growth, hosting speakers, and participating in community outreach and social events with our children. Such events have included caroling at Westminster manor, a community La Posada, Moms day retreat and parish Kids Stations of the Cross.

"Sundays with the Word" SCC is a family oriented community whose members are parents with children, and one grandmother. The core of the community is faith sharing, but we also work hard to share our faith gospel values with our families. As the name implies, we meet every other Sunday evening for faith sharing and a chance to socialize. Our community follows the Lectio Divina model for sharing the Word, and we also allow time for sharing family news and general visiting. In addition to our regular meetings we hold additional events that include the entire family. These events include 2 or 3 volunteer activities each year and 3 family parties or picnics. We don't forget about the adults and hold 3 dinners or parties each year just for the SCC members and their spouses. "Sundays with the Word" started around 1995 as a group of parents with young children interested in doing the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. After completing the Exercises the group wanted to continue to meet and transitioned into a Small Christian Community. Membership has changed over the years but the members have always been very committed to each other and have provided support physically, spiritually and emotionally when needed.
Contact: Mike Debner
Our community is so named because we are women nurturing and rejoicing in the holy life within each other, as Mary and Elizabeth nutured and rejoiced in the holy lives of Jesus and John the Baptist within them. Our community consists of approximately sixteen women, most of who are in the second half of life. We are single women, widows, wives, mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, all seeking to share our faith with one another in a loving, prayerful and respectful environment. Our focus is faith sharing on the Gospel, and we value the continued learning element of SCCs by frequently reading and discussing a book of a spiritual nature. Many of our members are actively involved in ministries related to St. Austin parish such as St. Louise House, Prayer Blanket, Communion Outreach, Eucharistic, Feeding Homeless Youth and Martha ministries, as well as ministries outside our parish community such as Results and Hospice Austin. Some members belong to another Small Christian Community as well as our SCC. Our sharing and mutual support of one another nourish us spiritually as we go out into the larger community to "manifest God's transforming love in the world," as the St. Austin parish mission statement proclaims. We strive to be prayerful and loving companions to each other on this spiritual journey, seeking to discover God's loving and healing presence in its many hopes and joys, sorrows and losses. We meet on the First and Third Thursday mornings of each month and weekly during the Advent and Lenten seasons.
Contact: Sandra Martin
Because of our large numbers and need for additional meeting accommodations, one of our members has agreed to facilitate another daytime SCC. For information about this other Daytime community please contact Judy Smith.
Our Vincentian Community # 1 was formed on the basis of those who wished to follow
Spirituality of Saints Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac, and Elizabeth Ann Seton. Our Mission is to serve and discover Jesus Christ in persons who are poor and marginalized
and to support one another in doing so through prayer, action, and listening to others.
We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month in the homes of various
members. We welcome new members who feel a call or already serving persons who
are poor and vulnerable and to reflect with others on the Gospel and on the spirituality
of the Vincentian founders.
Contact: Eloise Sutherland
We are located in central Austin in the following neighborhoods: Brykerwoods, Tarrytown and Treemont. We meet every other Wednesday 6:45–8 p.m. during the school year. Our focus is faith sharing on the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday. We are a community of different denominations, Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Lutheran. Besides discussion on the scriptures, we discuss our different places in life. Some still have children at home or some are away at college. We have two traditions that bring us all together with are families, a Seder Supper in the spring and a Posada at Christmas. We are open to new members.

Spiceworks has all of these great features in the HelpDesk area like Priority, Assigned To, and Due Date, but it seems these attributes are only selectable by the administrators of Spiceworks. Is that true?
I don't know about anyone else, but for me I don't have the time to manually go through issue by issue and assign it to myself or other members of the IT staff. I also don't have the time to select a priority for each, nor a due date.
It would be fantastic if these options were able to be defined by the user submitting the ticket themselves. Is it possible in the current version of SpiceWorks, and if not, do you have plans to implement this in the near future?
As of now we are using GSS (Global Support System) from IssueTrak and these little details are the only reason why we haven't implemented SpiceWorks into our coporation yet.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have any answer to this?
Apr 17, 2008 at 2:55 UTC
Hi Greg1526
But it seem to me if user are able to do that; most will make it the highest priority, make unreasonable due dates, and make a mess of trying to figure out who does what and to whom to assign it to.
My thoughts
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:38 UTC
Hi Corey,
Thanks for the reply. Interestingly enough, I was discussing this with my IT manager yesterday and I did bring up to him the fact that possibly letting the users assign issues is not the best thing since, you're right, they might assign it to the wrong person and we'd spend more time re-assigning issues to the proper IT staff members.
I do think the other points you made are vaild to an extent as well, however, I still think due dates and priorities for the users to be able to fill out would be nice. I think you have to have a little faith and trust in the end-users. The system we use now has these functions and for the most part the users are responsible with them and they are quite useful to us in the IT department.
With that said, do you know if the SpiceWorks developers have any plans to incorporate said features?
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Wherever Haifa goes, trouble follows? Wehbe's ex does NOT want her back

It seems that Ahmad Abu Hashima is as sick of hearing rumors about him getting back with ex Haifa Wehbe just as much as we are!
The Egyptian businessman said that he's stunned by the intensity of the rumor alleging that he's trying to convince Haifa to get back together with him.
Hashima, who rarely talks about his personal life, told Laha Magazine that he had completely turned over the "Haifa page" and has never looked back.
A fed-up Ahmad said: "What was said about the Muslim Brotherhood being behind my divorce with Haifa is a very strange and untrue rumor. It is unrealistic to base my life decisions on who is in political power. Those that had created the rumor about the interference of the Brotherhood in my personal life are the same people who are behind the rumors that after the downfall of the Brotherhood from power I intend on taking Haifa back, all of which are untrue."
Wherever Haifa goes, trouble follows?
The distressed businessman went on to say: "I was also shocked about rumors claiming that I'm now involved with another Lebanese artist, which is also not true. My relationships are always out in the open and when there is something serious I will gladly announce it. I'm a businessman and I do not want rumors to jeopardize my image in society."
We feel for ya, Ahmad!

We are excited to announce five more new speakers at GamesBeat 2014, our game industry conference that takes place Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 at the Parc 55 Wyndham Hotel in San Francisco. Yesterday, we announced a panel about moving games from West to East. Now we're doing the opposite.
Anatoly Ropotov became the CEO of mobile game publisher Game Insight this summer, shortly after the company moved its headquarters from Moscow to Villnius, Lithuania. He was previously the chief experience officer at Game Insight, and he has about 15 years of service in games. His charter at Game Insight is to move the company into high-quality hardcore 3D games on mobile devices and to expand its reach into the West. It already has 250 million players worldwide.
The speakers are part of the "Taking games into the West" panel. Jeff Hilbert, the co-CEO and chief strategy officer at agency Digital Development Management, heads the panel. Hilbert can sense your presence in a room. In Shanghai, I walked up to him. He was typing a text on his smartphone. Without looking up, he said, "Hi Dean." As a story about Hilbert in Businessweek noted, "Agents go where there's money." And Hilbert was in Shanghai pursuing deals.
Hilbert founded DDM as a talent agency for games. He has more than 22 years of experience in game management and business development. His first client was Virgin Interactive, and since then, he has secured deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide. DDM has offices in California, Massachusetts, and four other countries. He's a good pick to run this breakout session at our event.
A lot of Eastern companies are trying to break into Western markets, whether that's moving from Eastern Europe into the U. S., or from Asia into Europe. Our session will address these topics and illustrate once again why gaming has become a global business.
Kyu Lee, the president of Gamevil USA, founded the Torrance, Calif.-based division of South Korean mobile game publisher Gamevil back in 2006. He is a familiar figure at game events and has been at Gamevil since 2000. Gamevil has now grown into a publicly traded mobile game publisher, and it acquired Com2us, a rival mobile game publisher, last year. The company has expanded into the West and it is publishing lots of titles every year in North America.
Roy Liu, CEO of Forgame US, started his career as a mobile game developer in 2006. He joined Forgame recently to help expand its reach from Asia to the West. Founded in 2009, Forgame Group made web games. In 2012, it launched its first mobile game, The Era of Storms. Now the company has more than 200 million registered users and more than 100 games that are played throughout China. The parent company went public in Hong Kong last October. Liu previously worked at Chartboost, Gimmie, and PopCap Games.
AJ Redmer is head of Gumi North America. Redmer just became the man leading the Western charge of Japan's Gumi, which has seen its fortunes rise with the launch of the hit game Brave Frontier. Gumi is plowing the profits from Brave Frontier into building new game studios aimed at spreading its influence worldwide. Redmer will handle the North American studios. Previously, he spent seven years at Microsoft's Xbox division, taking on important roles like planning the Xbox 360 and managing the racing game studio that produced Project Gotham Racing and Forza Motorsport, which have become giant franchises for Microsoft.
We'll have plenty of other speakers to come.

For Immediate Release
June 7th 2006
Concord , NH- Jim Coburn announced his concept for saving New Hampshire's state owned historic properties today. "It is a tragedy that our historic properties have seen such neglect, they are an asset to New Hampshire, and need to be preserved," Coburn stated. His concept would call for state businesses to partner with volunteer organizations to maintain historic properties. "This would be an excellent chance for businesses show they care about New Hampshire's treasures," Coburn said, adding "Our' Adopt-a-Highway' program has successfully proven that, if given the opportunity, the private sector will lend its support to keep New Hampshire a beautiful place to live. Our historic structures are just one, often forgotten, aspect of our state's beauty." Coburn hopes business and state leaders will embrace his concept, stating, "A working plan needs to be in action before we lose another historic site to neglect."

socialintelligencecounts 5 years, 11 months ago
Opening doors for "little old ladies" is part of the same offensive and discriminatory set of social norms that promotes the domestic violence the subject of this article is protesting. No one deserves to be stereotyped as a" little old lady" on the basis of the first impression by some backwoods guy who was raised to be a chauvinist. To open the door for a stranger requires standing too close to them and violating their physical space. It's an aggressive and presumptuous act I have always detested. It's quite prevalent in illiberal, prejudiced Lawrence Lawrence. In fact one feels quite mobbed and molested by uncultured, harassing strangers who give no thought to disturbing others' privacy and offending their dignity. Insensitive !!

When we're keeping score about acts of so-called kindness we're obviously not being very authentic or perceptive. Some days the best one can do in a place like Lawrence is to set boundaries as civilly as possible with the completely clueless and unaware. It's hard to want anything but distance from abusers.
Deja Coffin 5 years, 11 months ago
I gathered up some extra school supplies to donate to a local school supply drive in my town. One of the things I think is hard for me is to look outside of my own little box and my own little family and do things for other people. Because I'm so bad about it I constantly try to find ways I can impact other people's lives such as sending a card or making a meal for someone who has had surgery. I think there are people out there that are just naturally good about being thoughtful and it is something I wish I was better at.

KansasPerson 5 years, 11 months ago
Not a put-down to the commenters -- because most of you are A Nonny Mouse and it doesn't bug me that way -- but man, it annoys me when people blow their own horn. I have a friend who has earned a truckload of money in recent years, and he does spend a portion of it in various philanthropic ways of his choosing -- and that's great and all, but then he gets on Facebook or email and tells us about what he's doing. He's even posted links to articles showing how generous he's been. I pondered for a little while whether to tell him how off-putting that is, but I think I've finally decided not to say anything. I've questioned myself -- why does it bother me so much? Am I envious of his wealth or of his freedom to give financial help to those in need? After due consideration, I think the answers are no and no. I am just annoyed when he feels the need to tell us about it. I'm weirdly old-fashioned and it just seems ... ill-bred. Is it weird that his acts would have more value for me if I didn't know about them? (Yeah, that sounded totally crazy.....)
verity 5 years, 11 months ago
Can't talk about it, wouldn't be right.
Least that's what my religion taught me---when I was religious.

Comments about Netgear Dual Band High Definition Internet Streaming Router Wireless Adapter:
I have had several routers by Netgear. I really do not have any complaints about them. They lasted a long time. only reason i had to give them up with due to internet changes and upgrades from the cable company that made them not compatible any longer. I like the stand up design of this model and the fast connection speed it give me. We have quite a few wireless devices and were able to use 3-4 at a time without them slowing down. I have very happy with that. I have friends that once the third device logs in they all start buffering. for the price this is a good investment and if lasts as long as my last Netgear products have I will be very happy.
I do not have any issues with this router. Wireless works throughout my whole house, backyard and front yard.
Time will tell but Netgear is a good product.
Setup & Ease of Use
I did not have any trouble with set up and getting my devices logged into to it.
Service & Support
I am just giving this a ten on the assumption that they have good consumer support. I have never had to use it personally.
Comments about Netgear Dual Band High Definition Internet Streaming Router Wireless Adapter:
This netgear router has worked well for me and others that i know.
In todays culture of high end electronic devices, everything having an ability to connect to the internet, this Netgear router stands the test. Able to connect all 25 wireless devices in my home successfully, without cramping speed or reliability.
The router has a certain level of physical durability, however it also has great operational durability, as it never once has dropped any of my wireless devices.
Setup & Ease of Use
This Netgear router was extremely easy to setup and use. The directions provided were simple and easy to read. Only basic computer knowledge is needed inorder to get this router up and running.
Service & Support
Netgear's support is great. The documentation that came with was again easy to read and understand. The information online was also helpful in answering the questions i had after setting up the device.
Comments about Netgear Dual Band High Definition Internet Streaming Router Wireless Adapter:
For Netgear, it is one of the best routers out there. It is easy to setup and it is is fast. For me, I think this router is good for gaming. I have a gaming router and this router and I think that this router is better than my gaming one. When your playing online, it does not lag like other routers. This router is also nicely designed. I like how it stands on it side instead of flat on the ground. My whole house get good connection without any problems. I think the price of this is worth it since this router is a very good one. This router feels heavy to me, which is a good thing because if you drop it, then it would not break as easily. I wish this also came in white because I think it would look way better. For me, I can't find any bad things about this router, so I guess this router is like a perfect router. If you are looking for a good router and willing to pay a little more for a good router, I would suggest you get this router.
Comments about Netgear Dual Band High Definition Internet Streaming Router Wireless Adapter:
Okay, to start off who hasn't heard of Netgear? The company is well know, and has an amazing reputation which they protect! I mean their products are of quality and are always affordable! The WNDR37AV router is a great model and has a lot of high lights! Wireless routers allow you to connect with serveral computers at a time but sometimes the speed is slow, but not on this router! This router allows for several computers to be running from it at a time with great performance! I have noticed no interuption in my signal at all which is amazing because some have interference from cell phones and what not. I have this router in my basement which ussualy decreses signal but with this router i still have excellent signal all throught my house and EVEN in my driveway! This product keeps the heat controlled very well, some can get very hot but this one does an excellant job keeping the heat at a safe and useable level! I would reccomend this to anyone currently experiences problems with their current router! This is amazing and is worth the money!
Comments about Netgear Dual Band High Definition Internet Streaming Router Wireless Adapter:
With two young kids and pets, electronic cables and cords have become a larger problem over the years, beyond an aesthetic issue. The last straw resulted in a wrecked ethernet port which put me on a month-long quest to find the best wireless router for the best price. The wireless router world has its own langauge, so the best first step is determine your immediate issue and any possible changes on the horizon.
For me, the need to bring all possible equipment into a wire-less environment was paramount, which meant I had to focus on dual-band routers, so I could have more than one system working at a time. My second priority was online access. I didn't want to have to worry about the laptop battery or my smart phone's data usage everytime so the ability to utilize the online options of internet-capable flatscreens was high. Over a month of research, this lead me towards a handful of routers, (such as the Lynksys e3000), but time and again, Netgear came up as the most reliable. After purchse, the first thing I can say is that it is a very easy installation with simple directions. Once you're powered up and connected, the WNDR pretty much takes over and anything wireless will register very quickly. It has numerous options which I haven't had a chance to delve into with support that is easily accesible. So for an easy hookup of multiple wireless operations and reliability, this is money wellspent.Just make sure whatever you're looking to connect is wi-fi ready.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/049,050 filed Apr. 19,1993now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to portable radio batteries, and more specifically to latches for radio batteries.
Portable radios must be designed so that the batteries do not easily come off. However, ease of removal and insertion of a battery pack onto a radio is a desirable feature. Accordingly, a need exists for a latch that facilitates insertion of the battery pack onto and removal from the radio housing, while providing protection against accidental removal.
Briefly, according to the invention, a latch for a battery includes a beam supported at opposite springing ends. A protrusion located between the opposite ends of the beam selectively latches onto a fixed hook.
FIG. I is a perspective rear view of a radio in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective rear view of a battery pack in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is bottom view of the latch assembly 102 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a top view of the latch assembly 102 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a back view of the single latch and spring piece 202 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a simplified latch 52 and catch 152 assembly of the radio of FIG. I and the battery of FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 1, a battery (or other energy source) or battery pack 10 selectively attaches to and powers a communication device, such as a two-way radio 30. Radio 30 includes a radio housing 32 having a battery receiving area 34 on the backside 14 of the radio housing and an antenna 42. The receiving area 34 also includes a bottom sidewall 24 that extends perpendicularly away from the backside 14 of the housing 32. Within the battery receiving area 34, the radio 30 has retainable receiving areas, such as a cavity 66 located on the backside 14 and a pair of apertures 64, located on the bottom sidewall 24 to form a retainer, for mechanically coupling the battery 10 to the radio 30. Conductive mating means, such as positive and negative radio supply contacts 38 and 40, respectively are recessed within the cavity 66, but show through corresponding apertures, to form a protrusion receiving area or socket. The bottom apertures 64 and the top cavity 66 are used for receiving the battery 10. These retainers simultaneously serve three functions: mechanically coupling the battery 10 to the radio 30, electronically coupling the battery to the radio through the radio contacts 40 and 38, and providing accessibility to the battery for a charger (not shown) through the apertures 64 when charging the battery.
The radio housing 32 and its backside 14 can either be two separate housings coupled together or one integrated housing. Preferably, the backside of the radio housing is a separate metal chassis for providing ground protection to the radio while both the housings for the battery and radio are made from plastic.
For latching of the battery to the radio, a catch assembly 104 is mounted on a top center end of the radio's backside or chassis 14. The catch assembly 104 includes two fixed hooks 152 and 154, each having a protrusion or upper ledge 15. Each of the upper ledge 15 has a sloping top surface 321 and the interior wall of the fixed hook defines a recess 78.
Referring to FIG. 2, a battery housing 16 includes a bottom side or underside 44 and a housing portion or battery cover 22 on the rear or backside. Both the battery cover 22 and the bottom side 44 of the battery housing include mating mechanisms, such as protrusions or bosses 13 and 36, respectively, for attaching the battery to the radio 30. The bottom protrusions 36 captivate charging contacts such as positive and negative charger contacts 18 and 21 and sensor contacts 19 and 20 on the bottom side 44 of the battery pack 10. Likewise, on the rear or backside of the battery pack 10, the top protrusion 13 captivates the positive and negative supply contacts 28 and 26, respectively, within the top rear protrusion 13 disposed on the housing portion or battery cover 22.
Each bottom protrusion 36 hooks into the aperture 64, in the corresponding end of the radio housing 32 to provide pivotal support. Similarly, the top rear protrusion 13 extends into the cavity 66, in the corresponding top portion of the radio housing 32, to provide proper alignment and to reduce tolerance stack-up during attachment. When the lower end of the battery is inserted into the radio, the battery pack 10 hooks or pivots at one end as the lower protrusions 36 are engaged by the apertures 64. Preferably, the protrusions 36 do not extend out of the apertures 64 but are recessed within them. Then, the protrusion 13 in the battery cover is pivoted into proper alignment by being lowered towards the radio housing until the protrusion 13 aligns into place. Thus, the protrusion 13 and cavity 66, mated at the opposite portion, complete the alignment process, started when the battery and radio were pivotally attached at the other end. Dual pivotal supports are used to balance the alignment better. However, it is possible to implement the invention with only one pivotal support.
The protrusions 36 and 13 preferably carry cylindrical conductive contacts. These contacts are force-fitted into molded through-holes 112 and 114 of the battery housing 16 to integrally form the positive and negative charger contacts 21 and 18, charger sense contacts 19 and 20, and positive and negative battery supply contacts 28 and 26 in the housing.
The housing 16 and housing portion 22 can either be one integrated housing or two separate housings coupled together. Preferably, for attaching the two separate parts, battery cover 22 and battery housing 16 are ultrasonically welded together once battery cells 71, as seen in FIG. 6, have been placed inside a cell compartment housing 206 (and correspondingly covered with a cell compartment cover portion 106). A top extension 6 extends from the cell compartment cover portion 106 and forms the base of a releasable snap assembly 102 for latching on to the catch assembly 104 of the radio's backside or chassis 14.
Referring to FIGS. 3-6, snap assembly 102 includes a single latch and spring piece 202. The single spring and latch piece 202 may be made from any suitable resilient material such as polycarbonate or any other type of plastic. In the preferred embodiment the single piece 202 is molded as an integral part of the battery cover, but other implementations may be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The single latch and spring piece 202 is molded at two "L" shaped support ends 8 to the extension 6. As part of the single piece 202, two "S" shaped spring support arms 418 each connect to the free end of the supports 8. A beam or sidewall of the latch and spring piece 2 joins the two spring support arms 418, in order to form a spring and minimize the stress on the spring.
Two latch protrusions, hooks, or snaps 52 and 54 are perpendicularly projected from the beam 2 and are used to lock the battery to the radio. Dual hooks provide more of a balanced locking assembly. However, it is possible to implement the invention with only one hook in accordance with the invention. The latch hooks 52 and 54 are preferably tapered on several surfaces, including a slope 421, for easier snapping action and slightly thickened near the center, between the two hooks, to protect the hooks from wear and tear.
The single latch piece 102 also includes a rigid ejector 4 perpendicularly and centrally mounted on the beam 2, around the hooks, to minimize bending of that center area. Preferably, the ejector 4 is a tri-pod having a center triangular support leg or rib 250 mounted between the two latch hooks 52 and 54 and having the other two support legs 252 and 254 straddling the two latch hooks 52 and 54. A side view, in FIG. 6, of the single latch piece 202 shows a "U" shaped retainer 422. This retainer 422 is formed from each of the bottom protruded surface of the latch hooks 52 intersecting the corner of the underside of the ejector 4 and the beam 2.
To provide an operator-selected ejecting feature, the common tip of the tripod ejector 4 forms a button 3. Controlled by the common button 3 connection, the hooks 52 and 54 parallel each other, as they move in the horizontal or inward direction 530. This parallel motion prevents bowing of the beam 2 and minimizes the required force or beam travel to disengage the hooks 52 and 54.
To expose a center hook area 302, the extension 6 is preferably cut-out in a "U" shape. The bottom of the "U" or the overall width of the extension 6 limits the travel of the beam 2 in the vertical or downward direction.
Referring to FIG. 6, a cut-away view of only the ejector 4 and snap latch 52 is shown in a simplistic battery and radio assembled representation. Opposite the cover extension 6, the front portion of the battery housing forms a housing overtravel limiting plastic skirt, detent, or protective sheath 122 that inhibits over-travel and damage of the button 3. Skirt 122 extends from the battery cell compartment portion 206 and intersects its inner wall 124. Inner wall 124 and the skirt 122 form a cavity 113 to receive the single latch piece 202 and to control its travel from being twisted in any direction, even when the battery pack is removed from the protection of the radio housing 16. Specifically, inner wall 124 inhibits overtravel and damage of the beam 2 from being bent too far inward.
When the battery housing 16 and the battery cover 22 are suitably joined, button 3 slips through an opening 118 defined by a recessed edge 125 of the housing skirt 122. Since button 3 is omnidirectionally captured, except in the horizontal direction, by the recessed edge 125, in the front end, and the beam 2 is blocked by the inner wall 124 in the back end, the travel of the latch hooks 52 and 54 is restricted when the beam 2 carrying them is similarly restricted from moving beyond the plastic's yield limit in any direction.
As seen in FIG. 5, the overall shape of the single latch piece 202 is arched or in whatever shape needed to fit the cavity 113. The back side 210 of the two side legs 252 and 254 of the tri-pod ejector 4 is also slightly curved or tapered to more easily fit the ejector 4 in the cavity portion 113. A cut relief or indented recess 126, around the opening 118, allows for easy depression of the button 3 with an operator's finger. Once the cover 22 is welded to the housing 16, the only exposed areas are then those of the button 3 and the hook area 302.
For attaching the battery of FIG. 2 to the radio of FIG. 1, the lower protrusions 36 of the lower end 44 of the battery are inserted and engaged by the corresponding radio apertures 64. Then the battery housing is pivoted toward its locked position. The slope 421 of each of the latch hooks 52 and 54 slide down the slope 321 of each of the fixed hooks 152 and 154 until the latch hooks lock or snap into place. The resilient plastic beam 2 decompresses the latch hooks into their "locked" positions when each of the fixed protrusions 15 are up and beyond the slopes 421. To maintain the latch hooks 52 and 54 in this latched position, the release of the beam's spring force biases the hooks 52 and 54, carried by the beam 2, toward the recessed wall 78 of the fixed hooks 152 and 154. When decompressed, the double spring beam 2 has sufficient tension from its double spring arms 418 to provide spring force retention. That decompression release outwardly pushes the battery housing 10 toward the chassis 14, making retention easier. Meanwhile, the "U" shaped retainer 422 locks on to the protrusion 15. The tri-pod's center leg 250 also fits in between the two fixed hooks 152 and 154 of the radio chassis 34.
This latching at one end, opposite a pivoted end, forces the user to combine deliberate motions to prevent accidental battery detachment. To remove the battery, the user has to hold the radio stationary while grabbing and resting the palm against the battery. Meanwhile, the latch assembly 102 is deflected and the battery pack is pivoted upward while deflection is maintained.
When wishing to unlock the battery pack 10 from the radio 30, one would linearly deflect the outer button end 3 of the tri-pod ejector 4. As both of the latch hooks 52 and 54 are moved inward, by the commonly connected button 3, to release the battery 10, the ejector 4 springs or compresses the latch hooks 52 and 54 of the battery pack off or away from the radio. The rigid plastic ejector piece 4 moves the beam 2 and subsequently also the hooks 52 and 54 carried with the beam 2 away from the radio's fixed hooks 152 and 154.
To facilitate button deflection, the area surrounding the opening 118 and the recessed edge 125 forms a finger indented recess 126 on the skirt 122. This finger indented recess 126 thus allow easy latch removal access from the outside of the battery housing 16. At the same time, access is purposely designed to be very limited on the inside of the battery housing 16 by creating a tight fit for the cavity 113.
In summary, only two piece parts, the battery cover and the battery housing, are used to house, cover, and protect a resilient latch. Thus, a battery pack latch is provided which facilitates insertion of the battery pack on to and removal from a radio housing, while preventing accidental removal.

Great LenderThe process was so easy and they funded it quicker than i expected. I got a lower interest rate and shorter term than the loan i was paying off and only raised my payment by $25 a month. I gave 4 stars on fees & closing costs because there are some that only charge interest and no origination fee but Pave's origination fee was much lower than lending clubs or some others i've used. All in all, Pave is great to deal with!... Read More

Praises for PaveI was looking to apply for a new personal loan for debt consolidation with a lower interest rate than what I was paying with Lending Club. I logged in to check my updated credit score with Lending Tree and noticed that Pave had excellent reviews, so I decided to apply. The application was straight forward and I was instantly approved for my requested amount with a dramatically lower interest rate. I was then required to submit necessary documentation such as proof of income, bank statements and proof of citizenship. I had an onboarding call with a wonderful agent Zoya who was able to process my information and finalize my loan agreement for disbursement in less than 24 hours. I would highly recommend my family and friends to Pave because you receive excellent customer services and the process from application to disbursement of your loan takes less than a few business days. ...

The bailout plan fails in the House. And hey, the Dow closes in -700 territory. So that's exciting.
On the political side, I can understand the behavior of representatives who claim to be receiving calls 100:1 against the bailout. They're worried about protecting their seats and watching as their vote is painted as a taxpayer giveaway to billionares. But this is the one of the real-word consequences of the the "low information" voter. The bailout is a complex and confusing morass that requires a lot of technical knowledge. So we're asking the voter–who hears "bailout" and "fatcat" thrown around like CNBC is covering a national game of Monopoly with the Fed playing the roll of Mr. Moneybags, complete with Depression-era monocle–to smile and put their faith in unelected technocrats.
This is, in part, a trust and information problem. If more voters understood the problem, they might be inclined to support the bill. (I'll also note that some of this blame could be shared by Congress and the Bush administration for not selling this better). If some voters had more information, they'd know enough to understand…that they don't know enough.
Instead, they call and complain to their local representative, allowing the House GOP to cry partisanship. Best comment comes from a friend in investment banking:
LOL. No! They're [the Republicans] protecting the little guy by insisting on tax incentives for speculative investment. Wheeeeeeee! We're all doomed!

Fan Falls Rangers Park, A fan of 24 years old was taken to a local hospital Saturday night after suffering injuries in a fall from a ladder at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
The man fell about 9:45 pm, leaving the stadium after the game for the Rangers against the Angels in Los Angeles. The drop came near the Home Plate Gate.
The Rangers said the man, who fell about 21 feet, was beaten unconscious, but received immediate help from medical staff at the stadium.
Police Lt. Bobby Mason said early Sunday that investigators were trying to determine how he fell. The stairwell, near the door of his home plate view of the field, consists of a series of flights of steps leading from the upper deck seat at ground level.
"There seems to be no foul play is involved," Mason said after talking with witnesses, including people who were with men. "There was no fight or anything like that happens."
Mason said that he understood the man's condition was improving after he was taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center. There was some blood in the area where the man fell.
"At the moment, hopefully it will be better than I thought when he left," said Mason.
The accident occurred before the end of the Rangers' 8-4 loss to the Angels so that the stairwell was not full, but with the fans, said Mason.
"What we can say with certainty is, for whatever reason, falls into the top railing area between the third and second landing," said Mason.
Ranger's spokesman John Blake said the team had no other information or an update on the condition of man. Team president Nolan Ryan was aware of the accident.
This is the second time that a bystander injured in a fall in the park this season. On July 6, Shannon Stone Brownwood, Texas, died of wounds received in a fall out of left field trying to catch a ball thrown by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton.
