Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed December 2, 1913.
Patented Aug. 25, 1914. Serial No. 804,275.
, ject of the King of Prussia, German Emperor, and resident of Dortmund, in the Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have invented an Improved and Novel Electric Conductor, of which the following is a specification.
The electric safety lamps hitherto employed in mines or other dangerous industrial works are generally constructed in such a way that the accumulator and the incandescence lamp are united in a solid casing. There is, however, a need in some industrial works to have the lamp proper and the ac- 3 cumulator separated one from the other,
both parts being then electrically connected by a flexible cord, but this arrangement has the drawback that in the case of an injury to that cord short-circuiting may occur which then may give rise to an explosion if an explosive gas or gas mixture is present. Such a danger isobviated by my present invention, one form of execution of which is illustrated as an example in the accompanying drawing, in which a is an electric accumulator, 0 the incandescence lamp proper, and Z) a flexible cord connecting the parts a and 0 with each other.
lhe gist of the invention now resides in using as conducting metal in the cord a metal the fusing point of which is very low, such, for instance, as load or tin. It by any cause a short-circuit is produced in the cord, for instance by one or the cord wires tearing or breaking, and piercing the insulating covering and coming in contact with the other wire so as to produce a short-circuit, then this latter will fuse the wire metal, but no explosion will occur, because the fusing temperature amounts to about 400 C. only, whereas the ignition temperature of the explosive gas or gas mixture is considerably higher, 2'. 6. about 700 C, In the case of copper, however, an explosion would take place, as the fusing temperature of copper lies considerably above 700 C. and thus white-heat already would ignite the explosive gas or gas mixture.
Electric circuits in which one ofthe con ductors is made of an easily fusible metal have already become known, it is true, but they in general and the easily fusible conductor in particular termed a part of a fire alarm plant operated with constant current, andthe object was to interrupt this current and actuate thus the alarm mechanism ii. that conductor got fused in the case of a fire. Thus, although the means 7961" as is already known, still, it is employed in the present case in a novel combination and for a novel purpose, viz. in combination with safety lamps and for the purpose of interrupting the current in the case oi a short-circuit by letting the conductor metal be fused at a r temperature which doesnot rise to the ignition temperature oi. the gas or gas mixture surrounding the lamp.
The sparks arising on opening a circuit operating with a current of from 2 to 4 volts, as generally used in connection with lamps of the kind in question, do not ignite a gas or gas mixture elf the kind in question, and therefore it the connecting cbrd should get torn this will. not bring about an ignition of the explosive Connecting cords orconductors 01 this kind, as before described, may thus be regarded eXplosion-proof.
Having now described my invention, what I desire to secure by a Patent of the United Fitates isf l The combination, with a battery and an electric safety lamp, of connecting conductors consisting elf a metal the fusing point of which lies below the ignition tern as that may be perature of an explosive said lamp, tor
present inthe space around the purpose as described. a p

BONSALL -- A parent is proposing that the Bonsall school district move its middle-school students into the district's elementary schools, so that Norm Sullivan Middle School could become the new home for the district's sixth-through-12th-grade charter school.
Bonsall Union School District's board of trustees will discuss the proposal Monday during the board's monthly meeting. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. at the Bonsall Community Center, 31505 Old River Road.
The board will not make a decision on the proposal at the meeting, officials said.
The Bonsall Charter Academy for Learning is temporarily operating in portable classrooms on the Bonsall Elementary School campus.

Gove plans 10 hour school day to broaden education
Michael Gove said yesterday that he wanted schools to open for nine or ten hours a day to offer children more opportunities to join clubs, play sports or find a quiet place to do homework.
He wanted the Conservative Party manifesto for the 2015 general election to offer parents more structured after-school activities once lessons had finished, he said, but would ask head teachers what resources they needed to offer these.
Mr Gove's plans for longer school days — a feature of private schools that he would like more state schools to emulate — came as he admitted to previous concerns about some school inspections, but said that Ofsted was dealing with these.
The Education Secretary said there had been "a problem" with some inspectors…

Now I wish I had split my votes. I put all my votes on Hines because I was so sure Mark would win.
It's too bad for Chelsea because she was really good. But like all these shows, sadly it's about popularity. Hardly anyone knew who she was including myself and she knew it.
I'll be very happy with either, but I'd love for Maks to win.

Part Number WB08X10016 replaces: 769460, AP3669152, WB08X0310, WB08X10011, WB08X10016, WB08X10017, WB8X10011, WB8X10016, WB8X10017, WB8X310.
This light bulb is a 40 watt, 130-volt clear appliance light bulb that is manufactured to fit microwaves with small-base light bulb sockets. The light bulb illuminates the inside of the microwave while the microwave is running. You may need to replace this part if the existing one is burnt-out or broken. If the existing light bulb is broken, disconnect power to the microwave and remove the bulb base with a pair of needle nose pliers. This is a common wear item, so it is recommended to order a spare. These light bulbs are sold individually.
Control panel display goes off/on sporadically. If off, i can sometimes still get the microwave to work by selecting the appropriate keys (+) start. When this doesn't work, hitting the control panel or slamming the door may enable starting. What part(s) do you recommend? Thank you!
Hi Melene,
Thank you for your inquiry. If your touchpad is not responding, the part that fixes the issue the majority of the time is the secondary door switch. Some other parts you may want to check to see if they are causing the issue are the light socket, the monitor door switch, the thermo sw-tco sense temp, the touchpad and the electronic control board. To verify which part is causing the issue I would use a multimeter to check the continuity of each part. I hope this helps with your repair. Thank you and have a great day!
While replacing light bulb the socket and light bulb popped and the entire microwave did not function after this. Could replacing the socket allow the microwave to be functional again.
Hi Lee,
Thank you for your inquiry. Replacing the light socket may fix the issue, but if it is not coming on I would use a multimeter to check the electronic control board to see if it is not shorted out. You will need to check the door switches as well. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
Above the stove mounted microwave. I dropped the lens cover from under the bulb and tried to remove the bulb. The bulb separated from the base. I tried to remove the base with a pliers and the lamp socket broke. I ordered the parts and dropped the bottom cover of the unit down (5 screws). Removed 1 screww from the lamp socket, unplugged the wires and took it out. Simply replaced socket, fastened bottom cover of microwave, installed new bulb and closed lens cover.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Unplugged the microwave first, then removed the screws that hold the cover in place. This gives easy access to the socket. Remove the screws that hold the socket in, unplug old socket, replace with new one and you are back in the light again.
1. Take off bottom panel2. discon wire from microwave3. set panel on table4. unscrew panel cover under metal cover bracket5. need to do that because screw from cover panel won't let you put in light bulb in round hole in metal cover panel6. take new socket holder and insert bulband screw back on to metal cover bracket after remove bad socket holder and bulb by unscrewing7. recon wire8. test before putting back bottom panel9. screw bottom panel back on.
After reading some of the comments that others wrote, I decided to order the light sockets along with the replacement bulbs. As predicted, the old light bulbs broke when I tried to remove them - the bulb separated from the base which was still screwed in the socket. After removing the screws that held the bottom panel, I was able to remove the socket assemblies with ease. After inspection of the old sockets, I was glad I ordered new sockets - the old sockets were burned in some spots and very brittle. The parts arrived within a day and a half after I ordered them, but when the parts arrived, one of the bulbs was broken (happened during shipping). I called the office phone number and talked to a really pleasant technician who refunded me the price of the broken bulb and placed an order for a replacement. That was the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving Day. I got the replacement bulb yesterday (Tuesday) morning - still really quick considering the Thanksgiving holiday. All of the parts are installed and are working excellent. I am definately going to keep their WEBsite for future use, and I'll be letting my friends know about them. Thanks PartSelect, you've earned my business.
turntable coupler was an easy switch from inside the cooking area(pull out and push in the new part).The light sockets were accessed by removing five screws under the microwave,lowering the panel and replacing the light sockets(one screw in each and two electrical plugins)simple....
I ended up breaking one bulb trying to remove a burnt bulb for replacement. We then tried removing the other bulb and it wouldn't come out either. I googled the problem and found PartSelect and an explaination of the problem. Heat from either the stove or the bulbs had fused the bulbs into the sockets. Comments on the problem explained that you just remove the bottome pannel (we had seven screws), unplug the old sockets, insert the new and new bulbs and reattach the panel. It was quick and no problems to correct. We did discover the microwave was on its own breaker, make sure to disconnect or cutoff power to the microwave before you start.
Rather than open access door took off bottom (5 screws) This gave more room as the microwave is mounted under the wall cabinets over the stove.
Removed the 7 screws holding the bottom of the microwave cover, also opened the access covers to the lights. Damaged socket was easily replaced along with both bulbs and the broken lens, then resecured the covers. Top front cover was removed (2 screws) and the new filter was inserted, then the cover replaced. Very easy, about 15 minutes, without any injuries!
I unscrewed the entire undersurface of the microwave (I didn't do this before!) and replaced the light socket. Easy job and I'm glad the part was still available.
Lower base of the microwave, about 6 screws, replaced broken light bulb socket,then re-installed.Installed new light bulb.
I removed both sockets from the microwave and when your part arrived, I installed them both including the new lights. The work perfectly and it was very easy to put them in. I also appreciate the speed of delivery and your concern for my feed back on the product. I have you number in my contact list and should I need another part, I'll check with your first. thanks you
I was told by 2 different appliance technicians that the crumbled/melted light socket could not be replaced which meant replacing the entire microwave (expensive!). Other posters on your sight described the repair steps and I gave it a try. The hardest part was probably figuring out which switch in the fuse box belonged to it (now marked clearly). It was a simple matter of unscrewing the bottom panel of the microwave to access the socket, pulling the crumbled/melted unit off and shoving the new one on. I can't believe the repairmen didn't want any part of even giving it a try.
Must remove 5 screws in bottom of Microwave, which is hinged to the unit. Then simply remove the old lamp holders, and replace with replacements. Uses only a single screw for each lamp.
First I removed the screws that were underneath the microwave. Once I did that I disconnected the wires to the bulbs and removed the screws that were attached to the holder lamp. replaced the parts and reversed the process. It went really smooth.
Remove screws holding bottom cover. Cover then swings down allowing access to the receptacles. Receptacles have a single screw attaching them to the appliance with a simple electrical plug supplying power. Very easy.

Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

McCain Camp To Propose Postponing VP Debate
McCain camp to propose postponing VP debate. I guess she's so qualified we never need to hear from her.
Or maybe they're just afraid of more performances like this:
Here's the full interview.
2 comments:
One analyst when commenting on the Gibson interview of Palin mentioned that people's response was like a "rorschach test". A positively predisposed viewer liked what they saw and a negatively predisplosed viewer hated what they saw. So the interview doesn't change people's minds. Likewise, this interview probably doesn't change a person's already formed opinion of Palin.
Another example: I pretty much gag whenever Bush speaks no matter what he says. Though I must say that in Bush's recent speech on the financial crisis his "smirk" seemed to be gone: it only took six years of war and a financial meltdown.
- Thu Sep 25, 05:01:00 PM EDT
- Howard said...
I heard such things too. I thought her interview was horrible but most of the Sunday morning commenters said it was a wash. I'm still in disbelief.
There's also this that suggests the debates don't change people's mind too much.
I too gag when Bush speaks (I'm sure no shock). His smirk was gone Wed but I think his speak was overly panicy. Also, I couldn't help but wonder if he understood the words he was saying. He stumbled a few times on the telepromter so I'm not sure.

Arsène Wenger defends record in transfer market as Arsenal prepare for Champions League test against Fenerbahce
Arsène Wenger has launched a passionate defence of Arsenal's record in the transfer market and moved to reassure supporters that the club has plenty of time to act before the window closes on 2 September.
During a terse exchange with reporters here in Turkey on the eve of the Gunners' Champions League play-off first leg against Fenerbahce, the Arsenal manager bristled at suggestions Tottenham were threatening to steal a march on their north London rivals as they closed in on the £60m capture of Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala and Roma's Erik Lamela. Arsenal have never finished below Spurs in the league during Wenger's near 17-year tenure and have always featured in Europe's premier competition, often at Tottenham's expense.
The Gunners' sole summer signing to date remains French unknown Yaya Sanogo and, despite growing fan unrest, Wenger said: "I am not happy when our fans are not happy because my job is to make them happy. But I cannot listen every minute to every state of mind for everybody.
"I have to focus on and do what I always do – what is important for this club. You cannot look all the time in life at what others do and what you do. You do what is right for you.
"I would just like to reiterate to you that in the last 16 years we have been very successful with transfers. And if you look at the players who play tomorrow, they are top-quality players. And you should never forget that. It is not always to think what is outside is better than what you have. What is important as well is to rate what you have and our fans have to understand that as well.
"Less than two weeks is a long time and 75 per cent of things happen in the last 10 days. What happens is that we are a bit short because we lost two players, Chamberlain and Arteta, in three days for long periods.
"So we are a bit short now but I don't worry because I believe in the players we have, and the quality of their spirit and attitude will come out again. For the rest we have a long time to do what we want to do."
Arsenal had a £10m bid for midfielder Yohan Cabaye angrily rejected by Newcastle on Monday, with their manager, Alan Pardew, claiming the offer was "disrespectful" as it forced the Magpies to withdraw the 27-year-old from their squad hours before a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Asked to explain his interest in Cabaye, Wenger reacted spikily once more. "There's nothing to explain," he said.
"You have your opinions. First of all, you don't know what we have done, you don't know if we did bid and you have come to a conclusion without knowing everything that has happened. It's quite amazing that all of the people don't know and yet they always have opinions about things they don't know.
"I won't explain to you what happened. It's not down to me to explain to you everything I do. It's impossible. If we do a transfer we will announce it. We always inform you. As for the rest, you have to leave us to do our own things.
"We don't want to hurt anybody, not Newcastle, not anybody. You can't reproach us on one side for not buying and yet on the other side when we try to buy to reproach us as well. That is a bit contradictory."
Of more immediate concern is the preservation of Arsenal's unbroken participation in the Champions League under Wenger.
They flirted with disaster at this stage two years ago, somewhat fortuitously coming through a tight two-legged play-off against Udinese, winning 3-1 on aggregate.
Arsenal have never lost a play-off in this competition and can draw on their past form here, having won 5-2 with a typically chaotic display of attacking football during the group stage in October 2008.
Defeat would heap further pressure on Wenger and complicate the picture in trying to attract new players, given the ensuing uncertainty over exactly what European competition they could offer.
Fenerbahce also begin this fixture against a tumultuous backdrop. Just hours before Italian referee Gianluca Rocchi starts proceedings at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, a hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will begin in Lausanne to determine the outcome of Fenerbahce's appeal against a two-year suspension from European competition for match-fixing. The CAS has confirmed its decision will be announced on Wednesday – the morning after next week's second leg – but confusingly, Uefa insists no decision has yet been made on what will happen if Fenerbahce win the tie but then lose their appeal.
Arsenal must ensure their ongoing participation does not rest on such legal uncertainties.

Ghana see off Mali
Ghana moved to the brink of a place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-0 victory over Mali in Franceville
Last Updated: 28/01/12 10:03pm
Ghana moved to the brink of a place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-0 victory over Mali in Franceville.
Goals from Asamoah Gyan and Andre Ayew gave the Black Stars a second win in as many Group D games, with a game against fellow qualifying hopefuls Guinea to come in the final round.
However, the outcome could have been so different had Mali striker Cheick Diabate not seen his free-kick strike both posts when the game was goalless.
Mali started brightly, with Sochaux forward Modibo Maiga showing why he has attracted interest from European sides with some enterprising wing play.
In the 21st minute Ghana defender John Boye was lucky to escape punishment for making contact with his studs with Ousmane Berthe while the Mali defender was on the ground.
However, Ghana gradually began to assert themselves on the contest and the first chance of the game came soon after, in the 25th minute, when Kwadwo Asamoah's left foot shot from long range brought a fumbled save out of Soumaila Diakite - and Sulley Muntari was unable to turn the rebound in.
Asamoah produced another powerful left-foot shot 10 minutes later - but his effort went wide.
However, Ghana had a lucky break in the 38th minute when Diabate saw his 20-yard set-piece strike both posts. The rebound fell to Abdou Traore - but he fired over.
The last chance of the first half came when Ayew rose highest to meet Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu's centre - but his header went wide.
Diakite saved low from Ayew in the 55th minute and reacted sharply to deny the Marseille striker another chance on the follow-up.
However, Ghana opened the scoring after Bakaye Traore fouled Ayew, with Gyan curling his 63rd-minute free-kick expertly into the top corner of the goal.
And Gyan had a hand in Ghana's second goal, 13 minutes later.
The Sunderland striker, on loan with United Arab Emirates club Al Ain, found Ayew with a clever backheel and watched as his team-mate cut inside and beat Diakite at his near post with a low left foot shot from 12 yards.

Senate Passes 2008-09 Health And Mental Health Hygiene Budget
New York State Senate passed 2008-09 budget legislation (S.6808-C) that restores $245 million in health care funds, including $168.9 million to hospitals, nursing homes, and home care, to ensure that all New Yorkers have access to quality, affordable health care in their communities.
The budget bill (S.6808-C) passed today rejects a complicated proposal included in the Executive Budget that would have changed the hospital reimbursement program that has been in place for over 25 years, with little analysis on what impact the changes would have made on facilities throughout the State. The 2008-09 budget restores $35.9 for hospital inpatient services and implements an alternative proposal that would -- over the course of a four year period -- shift Medicaid dollars from hospital inpatient services to more cost-effective outpatient settings.
The 2008-09 State budget restores $85 million in state funds for nursing homes and includes $15 million for nursing home recruitment and retention programs, that were cut in the Executive Budget.
In addition, the 2008-09 health budget bill restores $25 million in cuts to home care and provides $8 million for the rural home care program.
The budget includes $15.6 million to create the "Doctors Across New York" program in order to address the shortage of physicians in rural and poor urban areas. The program includes:> A loan repayment program -- up to $150,000 -- for medical school loans for new physicians who commit to practice in medically underserved communities for five years;
> Two year grants totaling $100,000 to support new doctors who join or establish a practice in communities that are medically underserved;
> Funding for minority and economically-disadvantaged students who are accepted to medical school programs; and
> $5 million to support resident training in community settings.
Other highlights of the 2008-09 health and mental health budget legislation include:
> Rejects the HMO premium tax proposed in the Executive Budget;
> Invests $56 million into outpatient and ambulatory care;
> Makes restorations to the Early Intervention Cost of Living Adjustment;
> Includes $34.2 million for public health initiatives; and
> Expands the State's Children's Health Insurance Program from 250% to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, ensuring all uninsured children have access to quality, affordable care.

This article contains the difference between Deterrent Theory and Reformative Theory.
Deterrent Theory
- It directs to impose exemplary punishments.
The punishment is very serious, including death sentences, long standing rigorous imprisonments, etc. there is no scope of reformation in this theory.
- It intends to create fear in the minds of the criminals. The primary purpose is to deter the criminals.
- Even though it has several lacunae, still it is adopted by the courts all over the world.
- It is a long standing theory.
Reformative Theory
- It directs to impose the lesser punishments and stress more on reformation.
- The primary object of this theory is to reform the criminals.
- It shows the affection on the criminals.
- The reformative theory is proved failure in case of habitual and hardened criminals.
- It is a new theory.

The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance sent letters on July 7 to an unspecified number of companies that are not submitting their financial disclosure statements as machine-readable, structured data. The move comes in the wake of continuing pressure on the SEC by lawmakers, academics, and open data advocacy groups to enforce an agency requirement that has been in place since 2009 for large-sized businesses and gradually phased in over a four-year period for midsized and smaller companies. The target format is XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), a language for documenting financial reports in XML. A sample letter posted on the SEC's website indicates that the agency is reminding non-complying companies that its rules require that they file an XBRL version of their quarterly financials and that they include calculation relationships for certain contributing line elements of their financials and related footnotes."

Shares of two San Diego companies working on experimental weight-loss drugs got a boost Tuesday from documents released by regulators in advance of a federal review of a third obesity drug.
Orexigen shares rose 84 cents, or 20 percent, to close at $5, while shares of Arena Pharmaceuticals jumped 41 cents, or nearly 11 percent, to close at $4.20. Those gains came on a day when the major stock indexes were up between 1.5 percent and 2 percent.
The Food and Drug Administration documents focused on the side effects of Qnexa, a weight-loss drug developed by Vivus of Mountain View. An FDA advisory committee on Thursday will review Vivus' application to sell Qnexa in the United States.
Orexigen's Contrave and Arena's lorcaserin face similar reviews later this year.
Each of the companies is hoping its treatment will become the first new obesity drug to win federal approval since 1999.
Investors in Orexigen, Arena and Vivus have been watching nervously for any sign from FDA officials that would indicate potentially insurmountable issues with the new drugs.
That didn't happen Tuesday.
"People were petrified that the briefing documents would reveal an absolute lambasting, not only of Qnexa but also of the whole category," said Corey Davis, a stock analyst with Jefferies and Co., who follows Orexigen.
"For Vivus, it's not dead yet. For Orexigen and Arena, there was nothing (in the documents) that was broadly applicable."
With two-thirds of Americans considered overweight, obesity is a major health issue and a potentially lucrative and largely untapped market for drugmakers.
While the FDA has taken an extremely cautious approach when evaluating diet pills in the years since fen-phen was blamed with causing heart-valve problems, some analysts said the documents released this week might signal an increasing willingness by regulators to weigh those worries against the health problems caused by obesity.
Despite the warm reception by Wall Street to the staff review of Qnexa, the documents contained several potential stumbling blocks.
Although the treatment produced significant weight loss in clinical trials, it also triggered a higher risk of anxiety, depression and sleep problems in people taking high doses, the staffers noted.
They also said that Qnexa, which combines the appetite suppressant phentermine and the anticonvulsant topirimate, hadn't been adequately tested in pregnant women to assess the risk of causing birth defects.
Contrave combines naltrexone, which is prescribed for alcohol and drug addiction, and the antidepressant bupropion. Lorcaserin is an entirely new compound that targets serotonin receptors in the brain to produce a feeling of fullness.
Phentermine was a component of fen-phen, which was pulled from the market in 1997. Another experimental drug made by Sanofi-Aventis was withdrawn from FDA consideration in 2008 because of concerns about psychiatric side effects.
While an endorsement of Qnexa by the advisory panel would reflect positively on the drugs made by the other two companies, the treatments are different enough from each other that a negative vote wouldn't necessarily portend their defeat.
"If it goes well for Vivus, then that's going to be good for Orexigen," Davis said. "If it goes poorly for Vivus, that's going to be great for Orexigen, as long as there aren't any class-specific safety concerns.
"In the briefing documents, I don't see that."
Dow Jones News Service contributed to this report.

Some parents and their children helped to raise money, and books for a non-profit organization, Saturday.
The Junior League of Macon held their annual Character Breakfast Today.
Organizers say the breakfast will raise money to buy books for children.
Supporters also donated books to the cause and dressed like their favorite character from a book.
Some children say they look forward to the event every year because they love to see their favorite characters.
Larkin Fletcher said her favorites were, "The 3 princesses: Ariel, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty."
"When they see the characters for the first time, you can't capture the excitement on their face enough. It's great," said Katie Garvin.
The Junior League of Macon will hold another big fundraiser in February. That event will be a 5K race.

2009-2010 Funded Projects
A Bootstrapping Approach to Teaching Statistics for the SME Foundations GIR - $10,000
Professor Roy E. Welsch, Sloan School of Management
Professor Welsch will design a 6-unit statistics course following the model for the proposed General Institute Requirement (GIR) for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering. This statistics subject will not necessarily depend on the prior teaching of probability. To do this, he will develop an innovative approach that starts and ends with data and is based on the statistical method of bootstrapping (re-sampling). By re-sampling one can show that plots are subject to sampling fluctuations as well and that there is a need to always ask the question—is what we are seeing "real" or just a result of sampling error? The level would be aimed at sophomores and require calculus as a prerequisite.
Bringing Russian and Soviet History into the Digital Age - $20,774
Professor Elizabeth A. Wood, History Section
Ms. Molly Ruggles, Office of Educational Innovation and Technology
This project is designed to develop a web portal that will gather the many extant Russian-related sites under one digital umbrella. It will organize relevant web sites by several criteria including period, geography, topic, and the like, using a visually intuitive site map as well as a more standard search feature. In addition, part of each page of the web site will be devoted to sample lessons and assignments that Professor Wood will develop. These will be designed to bring together sites of proven merit and will provide synergy by linking sites to make a more coherent whole (e.g., the Khrushchev and Kennedy speeches in the Cuban Missile Crisis, which are currently on different web sites).
Convex Optimization and Applications: New Senior-level Course Offering - $26,000
Professor Pablo A. Parrilo, Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science
Professor Stephen Boyd, Stanford University, Electrical Engineering
This project is the initial offering of a new senior-level class for the Fall Term of 2009. The course will be offered on an experimental basis for the first time and, if successful, will serve as the model and foundation for a regular MIT course on the subject. The goal of the course is to provide an introduction to the fundamental elements of convex optimization, concentrating on recognizing and solving optimization problems that arise in engineering. Throughout the course, there will be an emphasis on applications to signal processing, control, digital and analog circuit design, computational geometry, statistics, and mechanical engineering.
Course Notes, Book, Problem Sets and Lab Development for 6.007 - $23,500
Professor Vladimir Bulovic, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
6.007 is a new class launched in Fall 2007, which is changing the way EECS introduces the electrical engineering discipline to their students. This class for the first time links the electrical engineering experience with nanotechnology at a foundations level, influencing, from the very beginning, the students predisposition in learning. The awarded funds will support development of new problem sets, creation of a web-based resource to complement the 52 lectors and 13 tutorials, streamlining of the lab exercises that comprise the hand-on experience in the class, and the update and supplementation of demos used in the class to enhance the visual memory experience of students. Based on the positive response from his colleagues at other universities, Professor Bulovic expects that appeal of this course will reach beyond MIT walls.
Engineering RNA: A Robust and Integrative Curriculum that Scales - $15,000
Professor Natalie Kuldell, Biological Engineering
Professor Kuldell is proposing an inquiry-driven series of laboratory experiments in RNA aptamer design, isolation, and testing. This experiment can scale to meet growing enrollment needs within biological engineering, draws on the expertise of young faculty within the department, and complements the content in other subjects students take concurrently with 20.109, Laboratory Fundamentals of Biological Engineering. The teaching materials will be available on a world-readable wiki and should be useful to a wide community, both within and outside of MIT. Most importantly, this experiment will help MIT's undergraduate students look at biology through the eyes of an engineer.
Expeditions: Observation, Recording, Science - $16,388
Professor Mary Fuller, Literature Section
Professor Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences
Professors Fuller and Elkins-Tanton plan to develop a team-taught freshman seminar combining the disciplines of earth sciences and literary studies. Their questions: how do expeditions function in testing or generating scientific hypotheses about the physical earth?; how do expeditions produce records?; and how are these records shaped, stored, disseminated, and used? Their goal is to scale up to a 12-unit freshman subject on this topic in 2011-12, inviting collaboration from other faculty and disciplines across the Institute.
Improving Upper-Division Undergraduate Instruction in Electromagnetism - $20,000
Professor John Belcher, Physics
Professor Jennifer Palilonis, Ball State University, Journalism
Professor Belcher plans to work on improvements in the teaching of upper-division electromagnetism. The improvements are: (1) revising the order of material taught in the course, so that the more intellectually challenging material is covered earlier; (2) increasing the interactivity of lecture using principles of active engagement and learning theory; (3) increasing the collaborative aspects of the course by using an open source learning activity management system; (4) introducing interactive and passive visualizations similar to the TEAL visualizations, but at a level appropriate to the course; (5) embedding those visualizations in a narrative structure that gives an overview of the physics at the level of a scientifically literate lay person.
International Development Tool Kit: Transnational Dimensions of Urban Development - $25,000
Professor Diane Davis, Urban Studies and Planning
This for-credit course will expose MIT students to the transnational dimensions of international development from an urban perspective. It will emphasize in-depth cultural, social, political, and economic conditions and how they have affected a transnational immigrant community both in Boston and in the community's home country. Students will explore social science tools, methods and techniques as a complement to engineering and science frameworks that will help to clarify urban and international development problems with a applied problem-solving approach. Finally, students will engage in innovative policy or advocacy responses.
Putting the "E" Back Into DMSE - $25,000
Mr. Mark Tarkanian, Materials Science and Engineering
The funds requested for this project will be used to expose Course 3 students to a suite of traditional engineering skills and modern prototyping methods. Over the past several years, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) has made an effort to enhance its project-based engineering experience: machining, CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping, and design. They've built up a well-equipped shop, but the current DMSE curriculum does not stress engineering/design until senior year. This proposed program will give interested undergraduates a chance to work on hands-on engineering projects during lAP or the summer, an opportunity to steer their education towards the engineering side of materials science, and will prepare incoming sophomores for materials engineering modules in 3.014.
Science Documentary Curriculum Development - $20,000
Professor Thomas Levenson, Writing and Humanistic Studies
This project will result in the creation of a new, advanced course in the writing and production of science documentaries in picture, sound, and video. Alumni Class Funds will support curriculum design and the purchase of the equipment the students will need to complete their assignments. That course will both form an ongoing part of the Institute's curriculum, and it will add a significant element to the PWHS initiative to create new opportunities to study digital media and their creation.
V Lab: Documenting Science through Video and New Media - $30,000
Professor Christine J. Walley, Anthropology
This new undergraduate class combines documentary film theory and production with social science perspectives on science and engineering. The class will encourage students to a) think analytically about visual representation and the practice of making media; b) think analytically about the day-to-day social practices of science, engineering, and related fields; and c) create and disseminate videos about science and engineering that incorporate these perspectives.
WIKItext for Modeling-Based Curriculum for 8.01 - $24,000
Professor David E. Pritchard, Physics
Professor Pritchard proposes to make a WIKItext for 8.01 based on a modeling pedagogy that will complement the Physics Department's proposed introduction of a modeling-based approach to 8.01 TEAL. Modeling connects the basic concepts of mechanics with the real world by making explicit the fact that physical models make approximations (e.g. no friction or air drag) to reality that then allow the straightforward application of physical laws. This WIKItext will provide a foundation for a shift to modeling pedagogy in 8.01, and also may represent a significant step towards an online textbook that overcomes the limitations of current print textbooks by exploiting the hyperlinks and reconfigurability of the electronic environment.

We hear the sound of the restaurant with people eating and chatting while the open kitchen is busy washing and preparing dishes.
One of the bus boys is singing to himself, which can be heard dimly and at some point a bell strikes a few times.
thank you!
Nice Sound, very helpful! Thanks!

The bitter feud between Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre's board of governors and its support guild took on a nasty new twist June 15, when the guild announced it had obtained a temporary restraining order halting the sale of 60 percent of the financially challenged theater to restaurateur Dickie Brennan, who plans to open his fourth French Quarter restaurant in the building.
The two sides will meet in court June 24, and the guild-backed group Save Le Petit will hold a rally June 21 at the Columns Hotel. "We urge all (Le Petit) subscribers from last season to attend, as well as all those who cherish the iconic landmark on the corner of Jackson Square," said guild president Jim Walpole. City Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, in whose district the building stands, is scheduled to attend.
According to the theater's board, Le Petit currently has a $700,000 mortgage and "desperately" needs $1 million in immediate repairs, both of which would be addressed immediately with the Brennan infusion of cash.
Meanwhile, Gambit has obtained copies of emails about another offer — this one made June 13, four days after the Brennan deal was announced. The proposal was from former Le Petit artistic director Gary Solomon Jr. and his father, banker Gary Solomon Sr. In the email, the Solomons offered to buy the building's mortgage, "holding it for five years without payments. At the end of the fifth year, the debt would be forgiven one-fifth of the outstanding amount for each year up to five more years, provided the entire Le Petit Theatre facility ... continues to operate as a theater for the community." The Solomons' offer also included "100 percent of the building in the theater's control" and a five-year, $1.25 million endowment for "operating costs."
In a letter the next day regarding the offer, board member Michael S. Mitchell said the board had "decided to reject it for a variety of reasons," including the fact that management of the theater was not addressed ("Would the current board continue in that role?") and the "angel" investors were not identified by name ("We prefer to know who we're dealing with"). He also noted the Solomon offer wouldn't pay off the mortgage for 10 years, while the Brennan deal would retire the debt immediately. Mitchell's letter also said the offer was made "at the last possible moment," concluding, "Frankly, we are disinclined to enter into business dealings with someone who has recently threatened to sue us."
The theater's buyer, meanwhile, has been keeping a low profile. Brennan was not at the press conference announcing the sale, and his representatives have not returned emails or calls about his purchase of Le Petit or his plans for a restaurant there. — Kevin Allman

Sneaking into the kitchen from the back door, a darkened figure quietly closed the door, inching his way toward the refrigerator. Opening the refrigerator door, the man's eyes gazed hungrily upon the object of his desire. Reaching his arm into the very back of the shelf, he felt the rough texture he recognized as the top of the foot long hoagie he had constructed the night before leaving for the hospital.
Now that those twins finally gave birth…I can pounce on my snack. And the good thing is, Clair's still at the office, working with a client. This is my chance.
Carefully pulling it out, the sandwich still wrapped in its fresh, clear plastic, Heathcliff Huxtable set it in the middle of the table, splitting it in half.
And now for the coup de grace…
Walking over to the top cabinet, a sly smile engraved on his face, Cliff squeezed the bag of potato chips in his hand, shaking the package in a state of bliss.
After 10 hours at the hospital, I should at least deserve THIS.
Shutting the front doors, Clair Huxtable slammed her briefcase onto her desk next to the bookshelf, sighing angrily.
I can't believe the judge wants to wait another WEEK to decide the verdict of this case!
Taking off her brown, thick coat, she brushed a few flakes of snow from her brown sweater underneath, some of them bouncing off her black skirt onto the ground below.
"I can't believe he actually had the nerve to do this!"
"That slamming sound meant one thing: Clair!" Cliff whispered sharply to himself, looking around for something to hide his favorite snack under. In a hurry, he grasped a red, silk cloth lying on the table, smothering it on top of the plate. Sticking his arm out in front of him, he pushed the kitchen door open, noticing the lawyer sitting on the sofa with her arms folded.
"Hey dear," Sitting down next to his wife of over 20 years, he kissed her on the cheek. Startled by his grin shining on his face, she raised her eyebrow.
"And what's made you so happy?"
"You. I love it when you come home from the office all upset like that."
Sighing once again, she closed her eyes for a moment, recollecting her thoughts. "I thought for sure I was going to win that case, I could feel it but at the last minute, the judge decides to review the case for one more week and hear more evidence from the defendant!"
"That exciting, huh?"
"Yeah…but, I haven't had much to eat, so…" Standing up, she began her walk to the kitchen. "…I think I'm going to fix myself something."
Suddenly remembering what was waiting for her on the table, Cliff jumped up, quickly following her inside the kitchen. Still seeing the hoagie covered with the cloth, he wiped his forehead, sitting at the table.
"I see you already fixed yourself a snack, Cliff."
"Oh yeah…some wheat bread, a healthy snack for a healthy man."
"Yeah, I'm sure a healthy man eats his wheat bread with…turkey, cheese, extra mustard, and potato chips inserted between the bread for that extra "crisp"."
"…I have no idea what you're saying."
"Cliff, my love, you are LYING. Once a-gain. And let the record show…"
"Oh boy, not the showing of the record again…"
"…that since you haven't had one of those sandwiches in a while, you can have it this time. Just don't go overboard like you usually do."
"I promise, with Scout's Honor."
To be continued...

*Consumer Comment: Timing for pup delivery
*Author of original report: link to photos
That breeder gave strict instructions on care of pup as she was in a CAST for broken toes. He was give a bag of 4 health dog food 4 cans of 4 health dog food her folder with paper work inside and a bag containing precut meds and the bottle with the remaining meds inside. he was to feed her 2x a day and give 1/2 a pill 2 x a day. Breeder said fair well. Pup was to be delivered Monday by 4 pm.
Breeder texts me at 2 am to let me know pup was picked up and headed my way. Or so we thought. Sunday rolled around no contact, Monday rolls around he does not call me all my calls got to VM. Breeder in Ohio Calls him he has run into a ICE storm and is delayed. Still does not call me. I find out Tuesday from him what i knew Monday from the breeder. He will be there firs thing Wednesday morning, well that too rolls around and i get a between 6 pm and 10 pm that night. I call again only to have him give and excuse of rain is slowing him down.
He is an hour outside of Houston. Bypassed the first time. I call a breeder Friend in that area no major storms light rain very easy to drive in. Thursday rolls around its now the 18th of April 5 days into her trip with only 4 days of food. Ive already told him to be at my house by 10 am or i was reporting the dog Stolen. ?He gives me the line his niece has died i need to pick the dog up in DALLAS. 3.5 hours from me. mmmm No i cant up and leave ne one who is in Texas knows of the STARR tests yup miss one cant pass the grade. Son was taking those.
Still tells me he is an Hour outside of Houston. ???? Why????? I told him he needed to have her there today. So the Breeder in Ohio Calls me says he will drop her off between 6 -7 Thursday night. I call him he tell me he will drop her off on his way back from Amarillo. Why? Im on the way if he is going up 287. Nope i got the excuse i go where my Tom tom Tells me to go. I said no your gonna drop her off. By this time Im so pissed off and worried i have a sharp stabbing pain in my left side like its been ripped off. Husband thinks Heart attack.
Finally after taking 14.5 hours to drive from where he is at to Dallas to Me he arrives at 1040 pm Thursday the 18th Im hurting Bad so i send my husband to pick up the pup and drop off the other pup. He refuses to allow my husband to see first pup or inspect the kennel she was in said its what the other breeder said to do. Nope caught in a lie again bc i was just on the phone with her. Finally after a arguement my husband gets the pup who is covered in Dry piss her coat is crusty she reeks of piss and poop.
Her cast when she left was a off white was no BLACK and soaked. He gave back the FULL bag of dog food and 3 cans gave her 2 1/2 of a 1/2 dose of pills all week basically she got a half pill the whole trip for her foot in the cast. I docked him 75 buck each day he was late 150 in total. He gets pissy with my husband and Steals my new pups micro chip info from her fold and tells my husband when he gets paid he will mail it to us takes my pup that is going back to Ohio and her food crams her into a kennel and leaves.
Upon getting out new pup home reeking of pee I take pictures of her and her filthy cast then I begin to take off her cast ( ordered to do so by her breeder bc cast was to have been changed 3 days before) as i get to the toe the white cotton turns dark yellow from PEE its soaked in PEE and Smells to high heaven. I send pics to her breeder of her and her food and meds. please see pictures below of Merle pup Cast and Meds as well as uneaten unopened food! SHe has a UTI as well do to laying in her own excrement.
Ok The pup That was picked up on Thursday was to be dropped off my Monday at 10 AM. Still we got More excuses he had to go to a funeral had to take breaks bc his legs we swelling and he couldn't drive. her he assured us that pup was ok. Calls the breeder in Ohio tells her pup si ok and is playing with his niece on his front porch! WTH why is he allowing a pup to be out of the kennel playing on grounds with God knows what in it with people we dont know????? MAJOR NO NO we didnt agree to that at all and is uncalled for.
He has by this time either blocked my number or is refusing to answer bc all i gt is VM no replies to texts either. Only talking to breeder in Ohio. Im beyond pissed. He gives a drop off time of 11-1 am on Tuesday. at 8 Wednesday he is still not there. He also sends me 3 texts telling and i quote from his texts " you better look up slander and libel in the dictionary and figure out if you want to keep running your mouth i already have retained an attorney i will be filing a small claim against you for what you owe me and second will be slander suit.

Solid Gold, Marijuana Deathsquads
Polica (DJ Set)
The Firebird
2706 Olive St
Saint Louis, MO, 63103
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:30 PM
This event is all ages
So the Portuguese have this saying: saudade, a single word that summarizes an entire state of being, a lingering sense of longing for lost love and sepia-toned snapshots of yesterday. The way Solid Gold sees it, saudade might as well be the subtitle of their second album: Eat Your Young, a slow-burning set of skittish synths, glassy beats, ripple effect riffs, and melancholic melodies that leave you wondering what left a trail of scar tissue deep within the group's core trio (frontman Zack Coulter and multi-instrumentalists Matthew Locher and Adam Hurlburt).
Eat Your Young creeps across your speakers like a quiet storm, ebbing and flowing at every turn, from the exorcised demons of "The Pendulum" to the bookending outbursts of "Shock Notice" and "In the Hollows." All of which sounds incredibly confident despite the record's shades of darkness. That's because Solid Gold spent years developing their musical and lyrical concepts, beginning with their smoky club formation at the University of Wisconsin—Locher and Coulter were in the same architecture class—and becoming much more of a serious pursuit once the group moved to Minneapolis and tracked their 2008 debut, Bodies of Water.
"Our instrumentation ranges from crude to classic," adds Locher. "All of us operate within those parameters. The best way to describe our songwriting process is 'atomic'—electrons trying to rip themselves from a nucleus to recombine into new forms."
Maybe that's why Eat Your Young brings to mind everything from the gleaming skyscrapers of Blade Runner to the dimly lit streets of a midnight drive. Or as Locher puts it, alluding to the band's push and pull dynamics, "Dystopian futures, wrought with oppression and rich with struggle, just seem to fit our sound best."
Marijuana Deathsquads is the ever-evolving, electronic-hardcore project lead by Ryan Olson, (producer/writer of POLIÇA and GAYNGS), Isaac Gale, and Stefon Alexander (P.O.S). With multiple drummers, a slew of electronic instruments, and highly effected vocals, their live shows are a violent onslaught of improvised electronic-hardcore.
POLIÇA began as a collaboration between fellow Gayngs' members Channy Casselle and Ryan Olson in June of 2011. By July they had completed 11 songs, made the key additions of drummers Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson, bass player Chris Bierdan, and headed into the studio. After Mike Noyce (Bon Iver) lent his voice on Lay Your Cards Out and Wandering Star, the record was brought to Austin, TX to be mixed with Jim Eno (Spoon). In a few days, the LP was completed and the band Poliça was formed. On stage, the original beats composed by Olson play amongst Channy's passionate vocals & an intense rhythm section, that lead to a description somewhere in the area of electro-r&b goth-pop.

text: Inspired by Reinhard with his Beer Can Burgers and later by Justin (WaterinHoleBrew) and his Burger Bacon Shots, I've been just champing at the bit to try some. So last night I took 1 pound of bacon and 1 pound of 80/20 ground beef out of the freezer. This afternoon, I mixed ½ package of Onion soup mix, some of my smoked Hungarian paprika and cracked black pepper into the ground beef. I diced and fried up 4 slices of bacon and then used the bacon grease to fry some sliced onion and 2 extra-large crushed cloves of garlic. While the onions were frying I used a shot glass to form the meat pockets and wrapped a slice of bacon around each one. Into the pockets went the diced bacon, fried onion, garlic, and bacon grease. Next went the pickles (dill for Miss Linda and hot banana peppers for me). Now I needed cheese. Since Miss Linda refuses to eat "cheese that smells like dirty socks", I added Old Cheddar to hers. Lots of blue cheese for me. I had planned to add some diced tomato, but ran out of room and had to skip that. The MES 30 was preheated to 240* and the AMNPS was smoking nicely with a 50/50 mix of Pecan and Hickory. Everything went into the smoker. It took only 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach an IT of 150*, so I turned off the MES and topped each burger with shredded Tex-Mex cheese. I left the cheese to melt for about 10 minutes and used the time to boil up some Peaches and Cream corn on the cob. Took the meat out of the smoker and headed straight for the table—smelled GREAT!! Naturally, Roxy, the "Head of Smoker Security", got her own burger for an after supper snack. She must have liked it, judging from the speed with which she wolfed it down. Of course, that doesn't really prove anything—she wolfs EVERYTHING down. LOL. Supper was fantastic—stuffed burgers, corn on the cob, and a fresh salad. It was too hot outside to mess around with spuds or rice. Desert was a huge slab of warm rhubarb pie and ice cream (no pic—it was good but just a store bought pie). The burgers were some of the best I've eaten—smoky, moist, and juicy from the onions, cheese and melted bacon fat. Miss Linda's comment was "Oh yeah. You can make these again--anytime". The only thing I would change would be to double the size of the burgers next time. There just wasn't enough room in the pocket for all the fixings I wanted to include. The stuffing really made the burgers something special. It was a quick, easy, very simple, add whatever you like, kind of smoke---and WE LOVED IT!!!! Thanks for looking Gary

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: 96 civic coupe on 1996 Honda Civic
one window works and one doesn't , both switches on both doors wont control the window , would that be a bad fuse? bad motor? or bad switch ? thanks guys
| |
Again it could be so many things it's hard to say without actually being able to do some basic tests. You could have a bad motor, switch, or as simple as a bad fuse but I have seen the wires in the front door jamb break as the harness flexes each time the door is opened. No way of telling what is really wrong without pulling out the door switch or removing the door inner trim panel to examine the motor for power when the switch is operated.With the door panel off, and electrical connector at the motor off, supplying power and ground to the window motor and then supplying power and ground in the opposite direction the motor should go up then work in the opposite direction (down) when polarity of the connections is changed. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
THANKS PAT your very hopefully. i appreciate it. hey pat if one window works would that still maybe be a bad motor. does each door have a motor. Im a electrician by trade so ill do the testing and get back to you thanks again
Didn't find what you were looking for?

A councilman in the Orange County city of Westminster has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after he rammed his Mercedes-Benz into a power pole and knocked out power for about 300 homes in his city.
Police Lt. Kevin Baker says Andy Tuan Ngoc Quach, who has been a councilman for seven years, was arrested shortly after midnight Sunday. No one was injured.
Emergency power crews from Southern California Edison had restored power by 2:30 p.m.
Quach tells the Orange County Register that he was driving home from dinner with friends and "must have nodded off." He tells the newspaper he will take "full responsibility for everything."
Quach says he did not submit to a breath test, but did give a blood sample.
Police say the test results won't be back for a few weeks.

Cubs Forever
Written by cubbiedude, Posted in Reviews
The full title is "Cubs Forever – Memories from the Men Who Lived Them". It is written by Bob Vorwald (Executive Producer of WGN Sports) with Stephen Green (the award winning official team photographer of the Chicago Cubs since 1982).
It celebrates the 60 year collaboration between the Chicago Cubs, WGN TV, and the fans. A DVD is included containing interviews with Cubs players and broadcasters.
The photographs are superb. The writing is superb. The DVD is superb. Cub fans from over the past 60 years will enjoy and appreciate this labor of love.
The book, like the DVD, is divided into seven chapters (which do not correspond, exactly). I'll list each, with notes and observations.
1. The Lady aka "Everybody Loves Wrigley Field."
– Lee Smith recalls: "I had an agreement with the grounds crew because I knew they got time and a half after 4:30, so that's where my slow walk started. It was for my buddies. I would fuss on the mound and make them come out to fix it. They would say, 'Lee, there's nothing wrong with the mound. Nobody strides where you do' I'd tell them, 'Just fix it, guys. I have to make sure you get your time and a half.' Of course, I made them buy the beer!"
– Bob Brenly watches Lee every day and sees a player in the mold of another Cubs leader from 20 years back. "Derrek is very serious about his business; he's serious about how players on his own team and players on the other team view his actions on the field," Brenly said. "In a way he reminds me a lot of Andre Dawson, who played the game with a lot of class, never wanted to show up a teammate or an opponent, respected the game, respected the fans for spending their hard-earned money to come out here and watch him perform…."
– Fergie Jenkins is quoted on the subject of day baseball: "I enjoyed that part of pitching in day baseball. I just think that if you love and enjoy where you play, you produce. If you don't like where you're at, it's time to move on."
2. The Heroes "includes Ernie, Billy, Ron, et al."
– Ron Santo on the subject of the love affair with Cubs fans: "I was told very young by my mother, 'Always treat people the way you want to be treated.' I've always done that."
– Ryne Sandberg is quoted from his Hall Of Fame induction speech: "The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform. Yes, I was in awe. I was in awe every time I walked on to the field. That's respect. I was taught you never, ever disrespect your opponent or your teammates or your organization or your manager and never, ever your uniform. Make a great play, act like you've done it before; get a big hit, look for the third-base coach and get ready to run the bases; hit a home run, put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is a lot more important than the name on the back. That's respect."
3. The Voices "150 games a year – every game was broadcast nationwide…"
– Harry Caray speaking about the fans: "Baseball fans are the unsung heroes. Absolutely. The fan is the guy that the owners should cater to. The players should cater to them. The players ought to look 'em up and encourage the fan to ask for an autograph. These people make it all possible. I don't care what the contract is, I don't care how much they hit, I don't care how much money they're paid. If that fan isn't sitting in that seat, the game won't be around very long."
4. The Moments "The Ryne Sandberg game – The first night game at Wrigley Field – Ernie's 500th home run – and more…"
5. The Faithful "The Cubs, the Cubs fans, and WGN – it's all family…."
– Eric Karros is quoted, about other major league players: "Everybody should be a Chicago Cub for one year."
– "Most statisticians love numbers, and baseball has more numbers than any other sport. I'm also a soccer fan, but if last night's score was two goals to one, well, you're done, your stats are finished."
6. The Stories "You're Mr. Cub", Rick Sutcliffe/Mark Grace, more
7. The Stretch Mike Ditka, Bonnie Hunt, Jimmy Buffett, Bill Murray, others
8. The Games No-hitters, 20 Strikeouts, The '84 Clincher, The Wild-Card Game, more
9. The Hope I believe everybody who appears elsewhere in the book gives their opinion about when it's going to happen, and what it's going to be like.
– Ron Santo, for instance: "I know I'm optimistic every year. I don't know what I would do. I really don't know. I sure hope it happens before I leave this earth, that's for sure."
"Cubs Forever – Memories from the Men Who Lived Them" celebrates 60 years of WGN-TV and the Chicago Cubs. It's by Bob Vorwald with Official Cubs Photographer Stephen Green.
If you have ever watched the Cubs on WGN-TV, or, for that matter, if you've ever listened to them on WGN Radio, you will really enjoy this book.
Did I mention that the photographs are superb?

Archbishops of Canterbury and York tell African bishops to treat gays better
The head of the global Anglican Communion has written to African bishops to tell them to treat LGBTI people with dignity ahead of a trip to Africa
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York yesterday wrote to the heads of all the national churches in the global Anglican Communion – reminding them of a 2005 commitment they made to the pastoral support and care of gay people ahead of a trip by Archbishop Justin Welby to Africa.
Welby is visiting Africa for a five day trip in which he will be meeting Anglican leaders in South Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is not visiting Nigeria or Uganda but also sent copies of the letter to the presidents of both those countries.
Nigeria recently passed strict laws banning same-sex marriage or giving aid to LGBTI people while a group of Ugandan MPs keep pushing for a law to make homosexuality an offense worthy of life imprisonment.
In their letter the Archbishops remind Anglican leaders of a communiqué issued by Anglican leaders in 2005 after a meeting of Anglican Primates from across the Anglican Communion in Dromantine, Ireland.
The Dromantine meeting was held to try to manage divisions in the church over the ordination of homosexuals after the US Episcopal Church made openly gay Gene Robinson a bishop in 2003.
Robinson's ordination lead to threats by Anglican hardliners to split the church. However with recent events in Africa it is now the hardliners who appear to be rocking the boat, and the Archbishops' letter makes clear reference to recent events in Nigeria and Uganda.
'Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,' the Archbishops write, 'In recent days, questions have been asked about the Church of England's attitude to new legislation in several countries that penalizes people with same-sex attraction.'
'In answer to these questions, we have recalled the common mind of the Primates of the Anglican Communion, as expressed in the Dromantine Communiqué of 2005 … We hope that the pastoral care and friendship that the Communiqué described is accepted and acted upon in the name of the Lord Jesus.
'We call upon the leaders of churches in such places to demonstrate the love of Christ and the affirmation of which the Dromantine Communiqué speaks.'
The letter was also signed by the Ugandan born Archbishop of York John Sentamu.
'We … wish to make it quite clear that in our discussion and assessment of the moral appropriateness of specific human behaviors, we continue unreservedly to be committed to the pastoral support and care of homosexual people,' the 2005 Dromantine Comuniqué reads.
'The victimization or diminishment of human beings whose affections happen to be ordered towards people of the same sex is anathema to us. We assure homosexual people that they are children of God, loved and valued by him, and deserving of the best we can give of pastoral care and friendship.'

For the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood attack, Wednesday's shooting forced them to relive the tragedy from which they had not yet fully healed.
"It's a shock, it brings up images of what we went through that day," said retired Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, who was shot six times, with one bullet hitting him in the chest in front of his heart.
Manning, 38, said that he had been in contact with other soldiers who survived the 2009 rampage and that Wednesday's violence took them back to when Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire at the base.
Training can't fully prepare soldiers for the flood of emotions that comes when they see someone they care about lying on the ground bleeding or dead, he said.
"You hope the training takes over, but the emotions can take over, and it does become chaotic," he said. "You want to get everybody out of there as soon as possible."
Manning was deployed in Iraq and Kuwait in 2003 and returned to Iraq from 2005-2007. He was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan and scheduled to be at Fort Hood for a only a day and a half when he was shot.
He said that such attacks are hard to prevent but that soldiers should be able to defend themselves.
Soldiers are not allowed to have weapons on the base.
"They react in situations like this, and at least try to defend themselves. You go off base and can carry a weapon, but as soon as you enter base even as a soldier you're not trusted to carry a weapon," he said.
A lawyer for victims from the 2009 rampage said allowing soldiers to carry weapons on base would have lessened the carnage Wednesday.
"Once somebody is on the base with a weapon and they're intending to do harm, there's nothing the people there can do to protect themselves," said Reed Rubinstein.
"Right now everyone is trying to find out precisely what happened," he said. "Regardless of the motivations of the killer, it's ripping at a scab, at an open wound," he said. "The truth of the matter is that the first Fort Hood attack is not a closed book."
Jessica Zeigler, whose husband Staff. Sgt. Patrick Zeigler was shot in the head in 2009, urged people not to contribute to rumors or speculation about Wednesday's violence.
"Today's news from our former home of Fort Hood, brings an awful lot of emotions rushing back," she wrote in a statement on Facebook. "There is no reason to think this was caused by the same motives as last time. Please respect the families of both tragedies, by offering love and support instead of anger or hate."
Staff writer David Tarrant contributed to this report.
