The Philanthropy and Environmental Justice Research Project recognizes that the growth of community-based organizations, strategic regional networks, and constituency-based national networks committed to the principles of economic and environmental justice are essential to the efforts of people of color and lower-income communities to organize and mobilize the resources needed to eradicate these environmental and public health threats. We also believe that the environmental justice movement is essential to constructing a more inclusive, democratic, and pro-active environmental politics in the United States. Unlike many traditional environmental organizations, however, the environmental justice movement remains sorely under-supported by the philanthropic community at-large.
The aim of this project is to help forge more effective partnerships between and within the environmental justice movement and the philanthropic community. Our research serves as an important educational tool for current and potential funders by: (1) providing information regarding the importance and accomplishments of the environmental justice movement over the last ten years, including those of the strategic networks; (2) demonstrating the gross underfunding the movement by the philanthropic community in general, and the Environmental Grantmakers Association membership in particular, in relation to other segments of the environmental movement; (3) providing recommendations as to which grantmaking practices would be most appropriate given the structure and needs of the movement, (4) discussing the importance of diversity and inclusive practices in foundation settings for improving environmental grantmaking practices and for overcoming the funding barriers currently confronting the environmental justice movement; and (5) evaluating the manner in which grantmakers can better utilize their institutional clout to support the work of the environmental justice movement beyond the disbursement of grants by undertaking mission-related investing strategies and mission-related shareholder actions against socially and ecologically irresponsible companies. We envision this project as being a valuable resource for foundation staff, officers, and board members, as well as individual donors and participants in the environmental justice movement.
Our report, Green of Another Color, represents the findings of a year-and-a-half long investigation and assessment of the state of relations between the foundation community and the environmental justice movement, and was produced in close consultation with key representatives of the movement and foundation community. With financial support provided by a $43,000 grant from the Nonprofit Sector Research Fund of the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC, and additional support from the Jasper Whiting Foundation and the Research Scholarship and Development Fund (RSDF) at Northeastern University, over 1000 copies of this report were distributed among members of the Environmental Grantmakers Association and other foundation networks, as well as key organizations within the environmental justice movement.
Associates Daniel Faber and Deborah McCarthy also co-edited Foundations for Social Change: Critical Perspectives on Philanthropy and Popular Movements (Rowman & Littlefied, 2005). A multidisciplinary collection of essays brings together the leading voices on philanthropy and social movements into a single collection, and addresses the fundamental issues of financial and political power.

Hello from Hartford, CT!
Hi there!
I just got back in to riding a bike, and I am loving it like crazy. I have a 2009 Specialized Globe Vienna 1 (http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...5682&Type=bike) and I really enjoy the bike, but I have a few questions about it, and I'm hoping that someone on here can help. But I just read the sticky note about not asking for help in this forum, so I will make a more specific post in the appropriate location.
Anyway, great to be here!
Welcome Burger in a Can.
Plenty of help in the other forums.

Hi. I have 2 questions.
1) Atomic as a fence. Writing to an atomic variable has release semantics, e.a. operations before the atomic assigment never move over it. Can I use atomic variables as a fence? Is there any guarantee that compiler won't optimize out the unuzed atomic variable in the following code fragment? Should I qualify it as volatile?
T* ptr; ptr = new T(...); tbb::atomic ptr_atomic; ptr_atomic = ptr; /* Past this point ptr should be pointing to the fully constructed instance of T. Right? */
2) Looks like there is a typo in the Tutorial, Chapter 8, Table 13.
x.fetch_and_store(y) does x=y, not y=x.
Thank you,

KAFFIR, TEXAS (Swisher County). Kaffir is a rural community and loading station on the Santa Fe Railroad between Tulia and Happy in north central Swisher County. Kaffir is dominated by the huge grain elevator and loading bin beside the tracks near U.S. Highway 87 (Interstate 27) and apparently was named for the strain of grain sorghum (usually spelled kafir) produced in the area. In 1906 a school district was organized. The rural school house was moved frequently until the 1920s, when a permanent building was constructed just north of the elevator. This structure was also used as a community church and public meeting place. A store and filling station were also built beside the highway. In the 1940s the Kaffir school district was partitioned between the districts of Happy and Tulia. Although the local Home Demonstration Club continued to use the school building for a few more years, it was eventually abandoned and razed. Besides the elevator, only the old coal house remained on the site in 1984.

I like that this article talks about storytelling and knowledge transfer, and that it mentions how sharing stories can also bring balance and relaxation.
Discusses when knowledge transfer doesn't work and why storytelling does. Then he goes on to chat about how to best use stories for knowledge transfer.

Getting ThereMy friend Kelly and I recently decided to make an imprompto trip to the Crazy Mtns. We have always dreamed of going, but never seemed to find the time. With only two full days off of work, we departed on 6-6-06 (kinda freaky). We drove to Big Timber, MT, and from there got on Hwy 191 heading north. We then turned left on County Rd. 25 (Wormser Rd.) through some private land and a gate before reaching the parking area of the trailhead, and Half Moon Campground, located at the base of Big Timber Pk. (elev. 10,795)
Which is located about 1/2 mile up the trailhead.
These falls were Severly flooded, and made for quite a sight to see.
Once we crossed the stream on trail #118, the trail disappeared in many feet of snow. We determined it would be a bad idea to continue, and turned around to proceed once again on trail #119 to Twin Lakes.
Hiking around Twin LakesOn 6-7-06, we decided to attempt to climb around the area, and explore the waterfalls we saw and heard from camp.The first being this fall that we saw from camp, and came to the conclusion that it was the runoff from Oasis Lakes that sat above our camp.
Sheer Magnitude
Coming HomeWell, I needed to work at 11am in Bozeman, (about 2 hrs drive) and still hike out on 6-8-06. Well, unfourtuantly our cell phones did NOT wake either of us up at 5am as intended, but I woke up about 7am. This only allowed 2 hrs to get out. The entire trip we RAN out, as safely as possible. Once reaching Big Timber, MT again at 10:30 (still an hour from Bozeman), I was able to call work and tell them I would be running late. While driving to work at almost noon, over an hour late, I called work again, and was told that I was not needed for the morning shift since it had been a slow morning. UUUURRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Irony at its best...

Louis van Gaal on his way to lead Manchester United
Louis van Gaal has made his most public declaration yet that he would like to be the next Manchester United manager and stated that he would love to work for "the biggest club in the world".
Speculation has been rife that United would appoint a successor to David Moyes this week, with Van Gaal the firm favourite. However, it is now understood there will be no announcement from the club until next week and the delay might have prompted the Dutchman to break cover yesterday.
"I would love the job," he said at the start of a three-day World Cup training camp with the Netherlands.
"I hope that I shall be the one. It's the biggest club in the world and it's a fantastic challenge."
He added: "You people are thinking I'm the man but the most important thing is whether Manchester United are thinking that."
Van Gaal's immediate focus is the Netherlands' World Cup campaign next month. This brings added complications to United's hopes of making a rapid appointment but the 62-year-old is adamant he can secure his long-term future while also preparing for the tournament in Brazil.
"I have to focus on my job," Van Gaal said. "I am coach of the Dutch national team. I have waited a long time to be in a World Cup so that's very important.
"This doesn't affect me. I have always had offers. I know what the football world is and what it means."
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach denied any agreement had been reached yet with United.
"There is no deal," he said. "There are newspapers saying that I've already signed, there are even names of assistants. It's too bad that it goes this way.
"There are several clubs interested in Louis van Gaal, we'll see what I choose to do and what choice that clubs are going to make. It's a process, so it goes with all clubs."
It's unclear whether Van Gaal will be bringing in Patrick Kluivert as his assistant; some reports suggest the former Holland striker isn't keen on remaining as a No.2; that will of course lead to renewed speculation that Ryan Giggs will have a prominent role with the new regime.
The temporary incumbent at Old Trafford reiterated the neutral line about delaying any decision on his future as a player or as a part of the coaching staff until the end of the campaign. In truth, there is nothing to decide until United's intentions towards Van Gaal are made clear.
The 3-1 victory against Hull made it two wins from three matches under Giggs and demonstrated his understanding of the values and expectations at the club.
His selection of 18-year-old striker James Wilson, vindicated by two goals, along with 20-year-old Tom Lawrence, showed his instinctive appreciation of the demands at United, a club predicated on youth.
Giggs' post-match address was further evidence of a figure with an intuitive command of the stage, revealing the kind of natural leadership qualities United are keen to retain and foster.
It might be that to expose him immediately to the daily rigours of absolute control is premature, but not as a first lieutenant in a Van Gaal regime with a view to assuming control down the line.
That was a view echoed yesterday by Giggs' former United team-mate Denis Irwin.
"He knows the club inside out, he has all the attributes and qualities to make a manager," Irwin said. "Whether they plump for him now, I don't know. My heart says I would love him to be manager, my head says maybe we need more experience."

A sweet selection of tasty Raspberry Pi distros via techradar.com:
The Raspberry Pi phenomenon appears to go from strength to strength; like a runaway train, it's ploughing ahead and forging itself a place in the record books.
It's hardly surprising – the hardware alone is developed perfectly for the goals of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the pricing is pitched perfectly, and having the unique versatility of Linux as the operating system seals the deal nicely.
Most buyers, once they get their hands on their new RPi, make a move towards the official Raspberry Pi site and follow the getting started instructions therein; the end result is the user running Raspbian "Wheezy", the Foundation's recommended operating system, creating, learning and programming, and strapping the poor wee beast onto a weather balloon and sending it to the outer edge of the atmosphere.
What many RPi users don't realise, though, is that there's a wealth of other operating systems available for their beloved Pi. We thought, therefore, that those users who aren't aware of these other sweet toppings for the Raspberry Pi need to be informed, and what's more, they need to have a chocolate box selection presented to them.

Angel at "Snowblower" By January K
It was pretty much the coldest night of the High Performance Rodeo this year, and of course it was the night of the "Snowblower", the outdoor dance party at Olympic Plaza. It ended up being ridiculously fun, as we had to dance to keep warm. Even Mayor Nenshi came out for a while.

Many Farmers Screen projects are installed on streams hosting anadromous fish species. Here are a couple of example projects:
- Whychus Creek, hosts reintroduced Chinook salmon and summer Steelhead.
- Coe Creek, hosts Bull Trout.
Fish Protection: Anadromous / ESA Fish Species
The Farmers Screen™ was developed in the Hood River Basin in Oregon. The Hood River Basin is home to the largest variety of threatened and endangered fish species in Oregon. During the development of the Farmers Screen, biological testing was completed using Bull Trout, Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, and Steelhead. In all of the testing, the Farmers Screen met or exceeded NMFS standards for protection of anadromous species and subsequently became the first new fish screen technology to be included in the NMFS design criteria document since the document was created.

Section of Minnesota 60 to open today
WORTHINGTON -- A short section of Minnesota 60, from Interstate 90 to Armour Road (by Ron's Repair and JBS), along with the Interstate 90 eastbound ramps, is expected to open to local traffic only today, according to officials at the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Work has progressed to a point on the Minnesota 60 project in Worthington to allow local traffic on the short segment of highway that provides access to JBS and other businesses in the area. However, motorists are advised to use caution as crews will continue working in the area.
The existing detours will remain in effect for U.S. 59 and Minnesota 60 thru traffic.
As work progresses, the closure of Nobles County 33 from west of Nobles County 5 to Oxford Street is needed beginning Monday. The 33 closure will remain in place until project completion later this fall.

I can't seem to get the join correct once I'm looking for multiple activities. Any help would be appreciated.


text: I spent about an hour with this frame y'day and since there hasn't been much input on this frame, I thought I'd start. Specs: About 340 grams with strings (pacific tough gut 17/poly force 18 @ mid tension) and overgrip. Balance - seemed to be about an inch HL (strung) My current frame(s) PS 85 and occasionally the redondo mid Groundstrokes: A very light swining frame, or may be just light in comparison to my main racquet. Lots of topspin if you have the right strokes. Good, decent depth control. Moderate stability on hard-hit shots. Very maneuvarable and didn't give the impression of being something that would cause elbow pain. Serves: Excellent on serves. The thin beam (20mm) and light-weight made for a very easy swing. It took a while to adjust to the lightness but once I got used to it, serves were fast. Good kick on second serves (more than what I usually get). Volleys: Nice, stiff response. Felt a little wobbly to begin with but that's probably something that gets better with a racquet-user relationship. Good depth but not great for drop/angle volleys. Overall: Felt like a better version of the PK 5G and the tt warrior. Nice, crisp feel, very comfortable hit and not too light or too heavy. I think it's a good all-round frame which would probably suit s&v players more if they added some weight to the handle and 3/9 positions to stabilise the hit. I only spent about 1.5 hours late last night with it, hope to spend more time with it this weekend

The Nationals had a few scoring chances in their series opener against the Mets, but were never able to sustain a rally, managing just four hits in the first eight innings.
New York led 2-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth and suddenly, the Nationals bats came alive against Mets reliever Bobby Parnell.
Ryan Zimmerman started the rally with a leadoff double. After a wild pitch, Adam LaRoche added a single that scored Zimmerman for the tying run.
Ian Desmond laced a double to put men on second and third. With a base open, Mets manager Terry Collins elected to intentionally walk Roger Bernadina.
Contact hitter Steve Lombardozzi stepped in and faced seven pitches above the strike zone in his first eight pitches from Parnell. He managed to hang in with a 2-2 count.
Manager Davey Johnson said Lombardozzi stayed in the at-bat by doing something a bit out of character.
"He usually swings only at strikes," Johnson said. "I think he was swinging at anything that was thrown up there that wasn't over his head. That was a great at-bat. Big win, we needed it."
Said Lombardozzi: "It was the situation you want to be in. I love being up with guys in scoring position. That was my first walk-off, personally, so it was pretty neat. Those are situations you dream of."
Lombardozzi lofted a fly ball to left field that scored LaRoche for the winning run and the Nationals dropped the Mets 3-2.
"You are not trying to do too much in that situation," Lombardozzi said. "You try to get big or you are going to have a hard time. He throws pretty firm. He was up in the zone so I was just trying to get something I could handle and get the run in.
"I was just trying to tell myself he has got to come to me, he is the one in trouble."
It also marked the first ninth-inning comeback win for the Nationals this season, something that seemed commonplace in last year's division title run.
"Any game is big," Lombardozzi said. "But I think a big win to come from behind is big for this ballclub. We haven't really done that much all year."
And Lombardozzi makes the big offensive play on a day when the man he replaces, second baseman Danny Espinosa, was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right wrist. But the team also got Jayson Werth back, and Anthony Rendon and Ian Krol were added.
"It is good to have Jayson back, he brings some energy to the club," Lombardozzi said. "It was a good team win."
Maybe this will be the spark the Nationals need to get some kind of run going. Tuesday's dramatics are a good place to start.

Raider standout Katie Cumming signed a letter of intent Feb. 11 to run distance events with the always powerful University of Colorado-Boulder team.
"I am very excited about my decision. I took my official visit back in September. After meeting the coaches, the team and seeing the beautiful campus, I knew that CU was the perfect fit for me," Cumming said.
"The following weekend I took a recruiting visit to Duke, but by that time, I already knew that CU was where I wanted to go. I was really drawn to the strong history of Colorado's program, as well as its academics. I will be running for Coach Mark Wetmore and Coach Heather Burroughs."
Wetmore has been at Colorado the past 16 seasons, and has been head coach for the past 13 seasons. Colorado runs a combined program, with both men and women coached together under one staff, and they only recruit U.S. athletes, unlike many other Division I schools.
Colorado is a member of the Big 12 Conference. Since the 1990s, Colorado has had a combined 74 All-Americans, 21 conference championships, five NCAA team titles and four NCAA championships by individuals. Colorado has the country's longest streak of NCAA championship qualification and of Top 10 finishes, for both teams.
"I am very happy with my decision, and am so lucky to have had such great high school coaches, (Don) Krupa and (Jami) Holum," Cumming said, "to help guide me through high school athletics and ultimately achieve my dream of running at an NCAA Division I school."

IT was match perfect for a group of young Barry tennis players when they proved aces in their first taste of competitive play, recently.
More than 30 juniors, aged four to 15 years-old, took part in Barry Tennis Club's Junior Championships with the event also marking the end of several months of building membership numbers in the junior section.
The first competition was for the youngest group of players, mini-red or 8&u players, using slower bouncing balls and smaller courts according to the Lawn Tennis Association's Mini Tennis guidelines.
19 players competed across four boxes in a round robin format.
Each player had at least three matches, with family and friends watching from courtside and enjoying the ambience of the clubhouse with refreshments and activities for all.
Danielle Loughman, mum to Camille, four, who now plays regularly in the mini sessions at the club and Imogen, seven, who competed in the 8&u category, said: "It was a lovely event for the children to take part in with good sportsmanship. Well done everyone and well done Penny and everyone else who organised it."
Nine mini-orange 9&u players also competed and enjoyed several matches each, some of whom were trying mini-orange matchplay for the very first time.
The club also hosted competitions for 12&u and 16&u players, and the consensus from players and spectators alike, across the age ranges, was that this was something that the club should host at least annually.
All players were presented with certificates and medals, and the winner of each category was presented with a trophy - Danny Mickelsen for 8&u and 9&u, Olivia Barnett for 12&u, and Thomas Butler-Sainsbury in the 16&u category.
Club junior development officer, Penny Mickelsen, said: "I am really proud of all the children. It's incredible to think that four months ago, we had less than 10 under 16s playing regularly at the club, but now we regularly see 15 to 20 in individual sessions, with a total of around 50 junior members and counting. Apart from the health and fitness benefits of playing a sport, tennis teaches great sportsmanship and social skills, and perhaps most importantly, the kids have loads of fun."
A junior presentation evening will be held on Friday, September 12, where each category will be presented with a shield to be engraved with the winners' names and retained in the clubhouse as a mark of posterity for forthcoming seasons.
Businesses wishing to support the presentation evening with sponsorship or raffle prizes, should contact the club on 07816 311263 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Kelly dreaming of cup success
Martin Kelly is hoping to fulfil a childhood ambition and lift the FA Cup with Liverpool.
Last Updated: 16/02/12 10:18am
Martin Kelly is hoping to fulfil a childhood ambition and lift the FA Cup with Liverpool.
The 21-year-old has started both of the Reds' fixtures in the competition this season against Oldham and Manchester United.
And now the Merseyside born defender is looking to help Liverpool knock out Brighton on Sunday and reach the quarter-finals of the cup.
Kelly told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Growing up as a kid, you ask any kid, the FA Cup is massive and everyone wants to get to the final and win it.
"It's got such a tradition and I think the FA Cup is fantastic.
"For a young player like myself it's fantastic to play in and we would love to go all the way in the competition this year.
"I remember watching Liverpool win the FA Cup on the television and we would love to win it again.
"It was brilliant to play in the last round against Manchester United and it was a fantastic day.
"I played against them last year at Old Trafford in the FA Cup, which was special for me as well as it's every lad's dream growing up to play against your rivals and try and put on a good display.
"It was fantastic to beat United in the last round but that's gone now and the next game is the most important one against Brighton.
"I am just privileged whenever I get the chance to play for this team from the boss, and all I can do is show what I'm capable of when I do get a start and keep working as hard as possible."
Kelly and Liverpool already have cup experience of Brighton this year, having secured a 2-1 win at the Amex Stadium in the third round of the Carling Cup in September.
He added: "They were tough to play against and I like their style of play because they like to play football. They have decent wingers and it was a difficult night for us, but we managed to get through.
"It will be a different test against them at Anfield. We will have the pressure on us with playing at home and we will show Brighton respect. They are a good side and we have got to be at our best.
"It's about what we do on the day though, and we have to take what we do in training onto the field and win the game.
"For any team, coming to Anfield should be like a cup final. We have such a good stadium and a great tradition and credit to Brighton for getting to this stage.
"I'm sure their manager will be telling them anything can happen in the FA Cup, that's why this competition is so good. We have to be at our best and hopefully we'll get the right result.
"As I said though, the most important thing is what we do ourselves. We are Liverpool Football Club and we have to show our crowd what we are made of and put on a good display for our fans."

Two-thousand years ago: As Jesus was traveling around, crowds gathered to hear his teaching. As he was talking, "People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them,
'Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it. And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.'" (Mark 10:13:16)
Today: As Jesus is traveling around, crowds gather, important leaders want him to come speak in their beautiful churches; all are eager to hear the teacher's wisdom. Suddenly, as far as the eye can see, there is a huge crowd of children slowly coming toward them. Some are trying to walk, some are crawling, some are being carried. Most are stunted — their bodies and brains haven't developed properly because of a lack of food, and the necessary protein, vitamins, and minerals it provides.
All of them — 2.6 million every year — are slowly dying from malnutrition.
As the mass of children approaches, the important people speak sternly, trying to turn them away. Jesus is busy, he has places to go, important people to see, vital things to teach; he can't be bothered by hungry, dirty, fly-covered children.
Suddenly, the outraged voice of God splits the heavens:
"Let these children come to me, don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to them."
The kingdom is where a banquet will be spread for all people (Isaiah 25:6-8), where there will never again be an infant that lives but a few days (Isaiah 65:20).
And, turning to the children, Jesus takes them in his arms, lays his hands on them, and blesses them.

Angelou received honorary degree, gave address at Lawrence
APPLETON - Maya Angelou is being remembered for many things, including her powerful speaking.
Wake Forest University announced Angelou's death Wednesday morning. She was 86.
The author and poet received an honorary degree from Appleton's Lawrence University in 1976. Angelou also delivered the school's annual Honors Convocation on May 29, 1997.
The sights and sounds of that speech 17 years ago are remembered fondly by two Lawrence professors.
"Out of this incredible pain and suffering, there was this sense of overcoming," said Eilene Hoft-March, a French professor. "I also remember that she sang part of the address and she used no notes whatsoever. It was really quite lovely."
"Maya Angelou's voice which was just musical, she's just wonderful to listen to," said Paul Cohen, a history professor.
The professors recalled that so many people came to hear Angelou speak, a fire marshal had to ask some audience members to leave.
"It was as though the Messiah had arrived," said Hoft-March. "The Chapel was absolutely packed."
"There were people sitting in the aisles, all over the place," added Cohen.
English professor Karen Hoffman came to Lawrence the year after Angelou spoke. She saw Angelou another time, while in high school. She uses Angelou's works in her classes.
"She was certainly part of the whole rise of African-American woman writers, starting around the time that she was writing, 1970s to the present," said Hoffman.
Hoffman believes many of Angelou's values can be applied to our world today and into the future.
"We can certainly learn from her emphasis on having courage in the face of difficulties," she said.
Angelou also made other appearances in Northeast Wisconsin, including at the Weidner Center in Green Bay on July 25, 2005.

This invention relates to turbine engines, and more particularly, to improved fuel injectors for turbine engines and turbine engines employing the same.
The most pertinent prior art known to the applicant includes United States Letters Patent No. 3,613,360 issued Oct. 19, 1971 to Howes.
Conventional annular combustors employed in air breathing turbines have a large number of fuel injectors. In small gas turbines this causes numerous difficulties and becomes impractical. For example, fuel consumption will decrease as turbine size is decreased and that will in turn require a decrease in the fuel passage size of each fuel injector if desired atomization is to be obtained. However, as fuel passage size is reduced, clogging problems increase significantly. This in turn can lead to the development of undesirable hot spots as well as combustion inefficiencies.
Furthermore, in small turbine engines, low speed operations may be difficult due to low air velocity and the resulting poor atomization of fuel, which in turn causes unreliable and/or inefficient combustion.
The present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the above problems.
It is the principal object to provide a new and improved turbine engine. More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a turbine engine with new and improved fuel injectors that are ideally suited for use in small turbine engines. It is also a principal object of the invention to provide a new and improved fuel injector.
According to one facet of the invention, the foregoing objects are achieved in a turbine engine including a rotatable turbine wheel, a rotary compressor coupled to the turbine wheel, and an annular combustor for receiving compressed air from the compressor and fuel from a fuel source and burning the same to provide gasses of combustion to drive the turbine wheel. The combustor includes a radially inner annular combustion zone surrounded by a radially outer annular compressed air manifold defined by spaced inner and outer walls with the inner wall defining the outer extremity of the combustion zone. A plurality of angularly spaced injector assemblies are mounted on the outer wall and extend through the inner wall into the combustion zone. Each injector assembly includes an elongated body having a hollow interior with a port at one end opening into the combustion zone generally tangentially thereto. A venturi surface is disposed in the hollow interior just inwardly of the port and the body further includes at least one inlet to the hollow interior located in a side of the body between the inner and outer walls. A fuel injecting tube is disposed within the hollow interior and terminates within the hollow interior adjacent the port in an open end in alignment with the open end and generally tangential to the combustion zone. The open end of the tube is located as close to the venturi surface as is possible without the tube substantially increasing the resistance of the flow of air from the hollow interior through the port.
In a preferred embodiment, the tube is a somewhat J-shaped tube and in addition, includes swirler means on its interior upstream of its open end.
In a highly preferred embodiment, each injector assembly is located generally on a radius of the combustion zone.
The invention also contemplates the provision of a fuel injector for a turbine engine including an elongated, generally cylindrical metal casting having a cylindrical surface terminating in an end having a frustoconical surface. A bore having its axis normal to the frustoconical surface extends through the casting to provide an air inlet in the cylindrical surface and a fuel and air outlet in a frustoconical surface. The bore is narrowed at the outlet to provide a constriction thereat and a curved tube of substantially lesser diameter than the bore is at least partially within the bore to serve as a fuel injecting tube. The tube has an open end on and normal to the bore axis and is located in close adjacency to the constriction without increasing the resistance to air flow through the constriction.
In a preferred embodiment, the constriction includes an interior section of a torus to thereby provide a convex surface facing toward the inlet, and a cylindrical section extending from the interior section to the outlet.
The invention further contemplates the provision of a notch in the casting and specifically in the cylindrical surface thereof. The notch is of a width and a depth greater than the diameter of the tube and extends from the inlet to an end of the casting opposite the frustoconical surface. The notch receives part of the tube such that the tube is wholly within the cylindrical envelope of the casting to thereby facilitate assembly of the tube and the casting as a fuel injector and to further facilitate installation of the fuel injector in the combustor of a turbine engine.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic sectional view of a turbine engine with fuel injectors made according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged, ,fragmentary sectional view of a fuel injector and taken approximately along the line 2--2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an elevation of a casting forming part of a fuel injector housing; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary sectional view illustrating the tip of the fuel injector.
An exemplary embodiment of a gas turbine made according to the invention is illustrated in the drawings in the form of a radial flow, air breathing gas turbine. However, the invention is not limited to radial flow turbines and may have applicability to any form of air breathing turbine having a annular combustor.
The turbine includes a rotary shaft 10 journaled by bearings not shown. Adjacent one end of the shaft 10 is an inlet area 12. The shaft 10 mounts a rotor, generally designated 14, which may be of conventional construction. Accordingly, the same includes a plurality of compressor blades 16 adjacent the inlet 12. A compressor blade shroud 18 is provided in adjacency thereto and just radially outwardly of the radially outer extremities of the compressor blades 18 is a conventional diffuser 20.
Oppositely of the compressor blades 16, the rotor 14 has a plurality of turbine blades 22. Just radially outwardly of the turbine blades 22 is an annular nozzle 24 which is adapted to receive hot gasses of combustion from an annular combustor, generally designated 26. The compressor system including the blades 16, shroud 18 and diffuser 20 delivers hot air to the annular combustor 26, and via dilution air passages 27, to the nozzle 24 along with the gasses of combustion. That is to say, hot gasses of combustion from the combustor are directed via the nozzle 24 against the blades 22 to cause rotation of the rotor, and thus the shaft 10. The latter may be, of course, coupled to some sort of apparatus requiring the performance of useful work.
A turbine blade shroud 28 is interfitted with the combustor 26 to close off the flow path from the nozzle 24 and confine the expanding gas to the area of the turbine blades 22.
The combustor 26 has a generally cylindrical inner wall 32, and a generally cylindrical outer wall 34. The two are concentric and merge to a necked down area 36 which serves as an outlet from an interior annulus 38 of the combustor 26 to the nozzle 24. A third wall 39, generally concentric with the walls 32 and 34, extends generally radially to interconnect the walls 32 and 34 and to further define the annulus 38.
Opposite of the outlet 36 and adjacent the wall 39, the interior annulus 38 of the combustor 26 includes a primary combustion zone 40 in which the burning of fuel primarily occurs. Other combustion may, in some instances, occur downstream from the primary combustion area 40 in the direction of the outlet 36. As mentioned earlier, provision is made for the injection of dilution air through the passages 27 into the combustor 26 downstream of the primary combustion zone 40 to cool the gasses of combustion to a temperature suitable for application to the turbine blades 22 via the nozzle 24.
In any event, it will be seen that the primary combustion zone 40 is an annulus or annular space defined by the generally radially inner wall 32, the generally radially outer wall 34 and the wall 39.
A further wall 44 is generally concentric to the walls 32 and 34 and is located radially outwardly of the latter to provide a manifold. The wall 44 extends to the outlet of the diffuser 20 and thus serves to contain and direct compressed air from the compressor system to the combustor 26. Mounted on the wall 44 and extending through the wall 34 are injectors, generally designated 46.
In a typical case, there may be six of the injectors 46 and they will be equally angularly spaced from each other about the axis of rotation of the shaft 10. The injectors 46 extend into the primary combustion zone 10 by means of aligned apertures 50 and 52 respectively in the walls 34 and 44 (FIG. 2).
A reinforcing seal 54 may be disposed on the inner surface of the wall 34 about each of the apertures 50 while on the exterior surface of the outer wall 44, a mounting block 56 may be disposed. The mounting block 56 includes an interior opening 58 which aligns with the opening 52 as well as tapped bores 60.
A coupling 62 on the end of a tube 64 which extends to a source of fuel (now shown) has a reduced diameter 66 which receives an apertured retaining flange 68. The retaining flange 68 includes apertures 70 alignable with the tapped bores 60 for receipt of threaded fasteners 71 (only one of which is shown) by which the coupling 62 can be firmly clamped against the mounting plate 56.
In fact, the coupling 62 forms part of the injector 46 and includes a generally circular recess 72 having a central, relatively shallow conical surface 74. An injector body 76 is preferably formed as a casting having an elongated exterior cylindrical surface 78 and an upper end 80 having a cylindrical recess 82. The end 80 is received within the recess 72 of the coupling 60 with the conical surface 74 extending thereinto. Any suitable form of bonding, such as brazing, may be used to secure the components together.
The opposite end 84 of the body 76 includes a frustoconical surface 86. A bore 88 is drilled through the body 76 along an axis 89 which it will be seen is normal (at right angles) to the frustoconical surface 86. The angles involved in forming the frustoconical surface 86 and selecting the axis 89 are such that the latter will be generally tangential to the primary combustion zone 40 (FIG. 1).
The bore 88 includes a large section 90, an intermediate diameter section 92 and a constricted diameter section 94. The enlarged section 90 opens to a side of the body 76, that is, in a cylindrical surface 78 as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3. As best seen in FIG. 2, this opening is in fluid communication with the space between the walls 34 and 44 which define a manifold for the compressed air from the compressor as mentioned previously and thus defines an air inlet to the interior of the bore 88.
As seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, the constricted diameter section 94 opens through part of the frustoconical surface 86 at the end 84 and serves as a fuel and air outlet from the injector 46 whereby fuel and air may enter the primary combustion zone 40 in a direction generally tangentially thereto.
Returning to FIG. 2, each injector 46 includes a generally J-shaped or slightly bent or curved tube 96. One end 98 of the tube 96 is mounted within the coupling 62 in fluid communication with the interior of the tube 64 to receive fuel therefrom. The opposite end 100 of the tube 96 is an open end and is located within the bore 88. As seen in both FIGS. 2 and 4, the end 100 is normal (at right angles) to and located on the axis 89 of the bore 88.
As best seen in FIG. 3, the body 76 is also provided with a notch 102 in its end 80. The notch 102 extends from the large section 90 of the bore 88 completely to the end 80 and is of sufficient width (FIG. 3) and depth (FIG. 2) so that the tube 96 may pass therethrough to the coupling 62 while being wholly within the cylindrical envelope of the body 76, that is, the cylinder that would be defined by the cylindrical surface 78 if the inlet defined by the enlarged section 90 of the bore 88 were not present. The notch 102 thus serves to simplify assembly of the tube 96 to the body 76. And because the former is wholly within the cylindrical envelope of the latter, assembly of each injector 46 to a combustor is simplified since the same will readily pass the openings 50, 52 without interference from the tube 96.
In a preferred embodiment, the interior of the tube 96, upstream of the end 100, is provided with a fuel swirler, generally designated 104, (FIGS. 2 and 4). The swirler 104 may be in the form of a plug 106 provided with one or more spiraled grooves 108 that serve to impart a swirling motion to fuel as it passes through the tube 96 toward the end 100. The swirler 104 is completed by an orifice 109 at the end 100 of the tube 96 and configured as an interior section of a torus.
Returning to FIG. 4, the restricted diameter section 94 is in the form of a cylinder and is separated from the intermediate diameter section 92 by a convex surface of revolution 110 that faces the air inlet provided by the large section 90. The limits of the surface of revolution are defined by lines 112 and 114 respectively as seen in FIG. 4 and the surface of revolution 110 is to define a venturi surface just above the air fuel outlet from the body 76. The surface .of revolution 110 is in fact an interior section of a torus centered on the axis 89 of the bore 88 and having a radius indicated by the arrow designated 116 in FIG. 4.
An important feature of the invention is the relation of the end 100 of the tube 96 to the constriction or venturi surface just identified. A precise location will vary depending upon the particular geometry and dimensioning of the components selected for a particular injector but the principle of location is as follows: the tube end 100 is brought toward the throat of the nozzle, that is, the constriction or venturi surface and stopped at the point where the presence of the tube 96 within the bore 88 in proximity to such throat will begin to increase the resistance to the flow of air through the air-fuel outlet. Stated another way, the end 100 of the tube 96 is brought as close to the constriction as is possible without increasing the resistance to the flow of air through the air fuel outlet of the injector 46.
In general, it is preferable that the swirling means 104 be employed in the invention since it provides for superior atomization of fuel and thus promotes efficient combustion and suppresses the formation of smoke. However, in those instances where superior atomization may not be required, the swirling means 104 may be omitted.
When the swirler 104 is omitted, it is also preferred that the tube 96 include a section of a capillary tube. Such a section serves to minimize or otherwise overcome so-called "manifold head" problems that may occur in turbine engines at high altitudes for low fuel flows. Such manifold head problems if unchecked result in significantly greater fuel flows out of lower injectors in the engine than in physically higher injectors as a result of gravity acting on the column of fuel because of the low pressure involved and cause inefficient and unreliable combustion.
In some instances, particularly where the swirler 104 is employed, the superior atomization of fuel achieved with an injector made according to the invention allows the same to be additionally utilized as a start injector. In such cases, the injector of the invention serves the dual function of injecting for start-up and injecting for normal operating conditions, and provides a means for omitting start injectors entirely.
Finally, it is noted that FIGS. 2-4 inclusive of the invention are enlarged scale drawings and that in the usual case, the overall length of the tube 96 for a small turbine engine with which the injectors are most advantageously employed will be on the order of 20-22 millimeters.

A sea hare, a gulper eel, and a colony of sea pork
Ocean oddities coming out of nowhere
Leorah Gavidor 10:30 a.m., Nov. 21
San Diego Jose Esteban held a rolled-up poster under one arm and his two-year-old daughter with the other as he walked toward Washington Avenue from the west side of the Escondido City Hall. Inside, that Wednesday evening, October 4, the city council was discussing an ordinance that would make it unlawful to rent to illegal immigrants.
While children tumbled in the grass laughing, a subdued crowd of 400 watched the meeting on a closed-circuit TV, an older model set up at Grape Day Park. The park is adjacent to city hall, a graceful curving building at Valley Parkway and Broadway, part of a complex that includes the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Behind the TV set was yellow police tape and behind that were 20 uniformed officers. Two hundred officers, not just from Escondido but from the San Diego County Sheriff's office and departments as far-flung as the San Diego Harbor Police, stood by, some in full riot gear.
Police said the crowd outside numbered around 700 and that opponents of the proposed ordinance outnumbered supporters six to one. Inside, the 350 filling the seats in the council chambers appeared to be split evenly pro and con. Using the police estimates, there was one officer for almost every five people, inside and out. There would be one arrest, for public intoxication.
In front of city hall, about 15 feet apart and separated by two cordons of helmeted police and sheriff's deputies, people on either side of the issue faced off at a crosswalk in the circular driveway. A second television set at the city hall entrance carried the council proceedings for this crowd.
Some waved signs with photographs of the three councilmembers likely to vote yes on the ordinance -- Sam Abed, Ed Gallo, and Marie Waldron, who is running for reelection in November for the seat she's held for eight years. Under the photos was written "We Love You." Another sign: "Deportation, Sí Se Puede." (Deportation, yes, we can.)
Foes held signs that proclaimed "Brown Is Beautiful" and "USA -- Not Nazi Germany." At one point, opponents chanted "U-S-A, U-S-A..."
"I'm pretty sure you can read the signs of hate on the other side," said Jose Ayala, who was outside among the opponents. He wore a T-shirt that said "Hecho en California" (Made in California) and said the message applied to him, an American. "I think this is more of a hate issue than an issue of whether people are here illegally."
Another person among the opposition, a man who identified himself only as a Republican businessman, said, "It feels really mean-spirited to me."
He said he noticed that police officers facing the largely Hispanic opponents had clear plastic visors pulled down over their faces and that officers facing supporters of the measure did not. When he asked one of the officers why, he said, he was told, "Stand back."
"We're all Americans on both sides," the GOP businessman said.
In the meantime, Jose Esteban and his daughter were heading home. He said he was legal but his wife was not, and she still paid her share of taxes.
"It's something unbelievable that they're coming up with here," Esteban said of the city council. "The truth is, we came to work. If they approve the law, the little Mexican businesses will go out of business. We rent, we pay deposits up front. They're trying to take us out. I hope and pray this doesn't pass. The workers, after work, where are they going to go to live, under the bridge?"
The rolled-up poster Esteban carried promoted a movie called Los Minutemen Cazadores de Arizona (The Minutemen Hunters of Arizona), in which Esteban, a part-time actor whose day job is in construction, plays the role of a hunted Mexican who's just snuck over the border. "It's like they have nothing to do and no heart," he said of the Minutemen portrayed in the movie.
A contingent of real Minutemen stood at the corner of Valley Parkway and Broadway, waving signs at passersby. One, a retired biology professor at San Diego State University named Stuart H. Hurlbert, said he was concerned that the environment is not able to withstand the rapid growth in population wrought by rampant illegal immigration.
How to solve the problem? "It's a piece of cake," the professor said. "The problem is there are powerful, important people in Washington who don't want to solve the problem."
Hurlbert said the laws on the books need to be enforced, and recidivist border crossers need to be penalized. "You get crackers and Kool-Aid [when you're caught], and you get a bus ticket," he said.
The ordinance before the city council, six pages in length, notes that the state and federal governments "lack the resources to properly protect the citizens of the city of Escondido from the adverse effects of the harboring of illegal aliens, and the criminal activities of some illegal aliens."
It goes on to state that, upon a "valid complaint" from a resident, an official, or a business, the City would require a landlord to prove that tenants have "legal status." If the proof is not forthcoming, the landlord has ten days to evict the "illegal tenants."
If the landlord fails to act, the City could then suspend the landlord's business license and, during that time, prohibit the property owner from collecting rent from the alleged illegals. The landlord could also be subject to a fine of an as yet unspecified amount.
"A complaint which alleges a violation solely or primarily on the basis of national origin, ethnicity, or race," the language of the ordinance goes on, "shall be deemed invalid and shall not be enforced."
Inside the chambers, one speaker after another either denounced the pending ordinance as racist or praised the council for having the courage to take a stand against illegal immigration. Proponents of the measure said that illegal immigrants posed an imminent threat to the quality of life in this city of 140,000, whose population is 43 percent Hispanic. (How many Escondido residents are in the country illegally remains an open question.)

Six missing from Patriots OTAs
FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots continued their offseason workout program on a misty day in Foxborough, the team's second week of organized team activities.
Missing from practice again were tight end Rob Gronkowski (forearm), wide receiver Julian Edelman (right foot), linebacker Brandon Spikes, and running back Brandon Bolden (ankle). Also missing were offensive linemen Nick McDonald and Will Svitek.
While working on the basics of the playbook each week, the Patriots focused on kickoff returns last week. This week, the special teams focus shifted to punt returns. Leon Washington, Danny Amendola, Lavelle Hawkins, and T.J. Moe all took turns back deep.
Ryan Allen, a rookie free agent out of Louisiana Tech, competed with veteran punter Zoltan Mesko during the day. Both are left-footed.
In seven-on-seven drills, rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson came down with an amazing grab over two defenders. And Amendola, during full-team drills, came down with a highlight reel catch over Alfonzo Dennard to highlight the day's competitive battles.
Hawkins, who was cut by the Tennessee Titans May 1, had a bad drop — a ball that hit him in his hands on a curl route.
Steve Gregory worked with the first-team defense as Devin McCourty (shoulder) sat out. He was joined by new safety Adrian Wilson and cornerbacks Dennard and Aqib Talib.
Newly signed defensive lineman Tommy Kelly joined Vince Wilfork, Chandler Jones, and Rob Ninkovich on the defensive line.

Just after the end of the Gulf War, four American soldiers decide to steal a cache of Saddam Hussein's hidden gold. Led by cynical Sergeant Major Archie Gates, three of the men are rescued by rebels, but Sergeant Troy Barlow is captured and tortured by Iraqi intelligence. The Iraqi rebels beg for the American trio to help fight against the impending arrival of Hussein's Elite Guard. The men agree to fight in return for help rescuing Troy.

Rank outsider for this afternoon's $3million Cox Plate (2040m), Sir Slick, has been scratched from the race due to an injured hoof.
The eight-year-old Kiwi raider failed to pass a veterinary examination of the injury he sustained during the week.
The field has been reduced to 13 runners, with Mark Kavanagh-trained Whobegotyou remaining the clear favourite at short odds of $3.
Kavanagh is going for back-to-back Cox Plate success in the world's toughest weight-for-age championship after winning last year with Maldivian.
Other strong contenders that may give Whobegotyou a run for his money are Zipping ($13), Black Piranha ($21) and Bart Cummings' So You Think ($11).
The Moonee Valley track is currently a Dead 4 but is expected to be elevated to a Good 3 by the time of the race.

Cedar Rapids
Logan W. Blake, 17, of Cedar Rapids, went to be with the Lord Tuesday, July 1, 2014. Visitation will be Friday, July 4, from 3 to 7 p.m. at Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home. Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Saturday, July 5, at First Assembly of God, with Pastor Jim Coyle officiating. Burial will take place at Cedar Memorial Park Cemetery.
Logan was born to Candice "Candy" Blake and Mark Blake on June 10, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio. Logan greeted everyone with a mile-wide smile and a huge bear hug. He would have been a senior at Washington High School this year.
Logan enjoyed biking, power lifting, disc golf and playing Frisbee. He worked at Cottage Grove Place as a dietary tech.
He was taken from us much too soon, but his spirit, quest for adventure, and love for life will be with us always.
Those left to honor Logan include his mother, Candice "Candy" Blake; his father, Mark, and step-mother, Lisa Blake; his loving brother, Hunter; grandparents, William and Ruth Mund of Cedar Rapids, Stella and Fred Meyers of Newark, Ohio, Betsy Schmuck of Cedar Rapids and Carl and Joyce Schmuck of Eau Claire, Wis.; girlfriend, Brianna McPherson; best friend, David Bliss; special companion, his dog, Sadie Blake; and numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, classmates and neighbors.
The family is so grateful for all of the wide-ranging rescue efforts involving an urban search and rescue team, a camera-mounted tractor and land search teams made up of police, fire and city employees and countless volunteers. A special thanks to Pastor Jim Coyle, Pastor Tim Carter and Officer Anne Deutmeyer.
Memorials may be made to Farmers State Bank, Logan Blake Memorial, 1240 Eighth Ave,, Marion, IA 52302.
