By Jim Matheson
VANCOUVER — At Princeton University, Taylor Fedun was an 'A' student, acing his mechanical and aerospace engineering workload at the Ivy League school.
He did not take any courses in human anatomy, however. No lessons about femurs.
Unfortunately, the young Edmonton Oilers defenceman now knows that there is nothing a leg can do but shatter when it is violently out of control and intersecting with an immovable object like hockey boards.When Minnesota Wild forward Eric Nystrom's stick blade caught Fedun's skate and he crashed into the end-wall Friday night in a scramble by Nystrom to avoid an icing call, the Edmonton native fractured his right femur — the largest bone in the body that stabilizes the leg.
The damage is similar to that suffered by former Wild defenceman Kurtis Foster in 2008, also in an icing race, in a collision with San Jose Sharks centre Torrey Mitchell, who gave him a shove from behind after Christian Ehrhoff dumped in the puck.
Foster needed a rod inserted into his broken left femur, but the Oilers aren't saying the extent of Fedun's injuries, only to specify that they're serious.
"Taylor had surgery late Friday night and he'll be staying in the hospital for a bit in Minneapolis to recover and make sure everything goes well," said Oilers head coach Tom Renney. "I think he's doing fine, but as you can imagine it's pretty traumatic."
The Oilers are flying in Taylor's parents, Dwayne and Jacqui, from Edmonton to comfort their 23-year-old son, who was very close to making the Oilers lineup this season.
Nystrom also made a trip to the hospital to see Fedun. He wanted to apologize in person, not via a text message.
"It doesn't feel good to know you're involved with someone hurt so seriously," Nystrom said Saturday. "All last night and all today, I feel like I could throw up.
"He really appreciated me stopping by and I really appreciate him being so understanding. It's a play we've done so many times, racing for the ice. It stinks that something like this happens. No matter how many times I say I'm sorry, he'll still be in the spot he is in."
Foster, who played for the Oilers last season before he was traded to the Anaheim Ducks on July 1 for defenceman Andy Sutton, spent several weeks in a San Jose hospital after doctors inserted the steel rod in his broken leg. They flew him back to Minnesota and he was in hospital there, too, for a couple of weeks. He lost 30 pounds very quickly and it was 11 months of rehab and extensive therapy before he returned.
"I was watching TSN and they said the Oilers had won (over Minnesota) but a player named Taylor Fedun had broken his leg," said Foster, who is on his way to Finland with the Ducks as they get ready to open their NHL regular season in Europe against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.
"I thought to myself, 'I hope it wasn't on an icing.' I got a call from (Oilers assistant trainer) Chris Davie asking if I could talk to Taylor some time because I've gone through this and I said I certainly would.
"I don't want to see it (the accident). I had enough of my own, but it had to be scary to see a kid in so much pain," said Foster.
The NHL still insists on touch icing because it's deemed part of the thrills and spills of hockey. European professional leagues and Canadian junior leagues, however, don't use it because of the risk of calamity.
There's a history of carnage when players chase a puck at full speed into the end boards. Besides Fedun and Foster, Pat Peake broke his heel in 12 places in a race with J.J. Daigneault and retired at age 24. Other players involved in collision while racing for the puck include Al MacInnis, dislocated hip; Mark Tinordi, broken leg; Marco Sturm, dislocated ankle; and Marty Reasoner, knee injury.
"They want races (for the puck), but I don't see the entertainment value when a player is screaming and flailing around in pain," said Foster.
"I don't know of any players who aren't for changing the rule (to no-touch icing)," said Oilers captain Shawn Horcoff. "They know our stance on this. We don't have control over this, but don't you have to protect your assets?
"We're not talking little injuries here. We're talking broken legs and ankles. These can be career-threatening injuries. For me, there's no place for (races on icing plays). The league has to look at this again. Unfortunately, it has to be another incident like this. Hopefully, they make the right decision."
The league had considered instituting hybrid icing calls, in which linesmen could make a call if player X (the defender) was clearly ahead of player Y (the offensive player) at the hash-marks. It didn't go through.
"If there's any sort of 50-50 (race) just blow it down," said Horcoff. "Nystrom's not that kind of player and obviously feels awful, but as a player you only have a split second to decide what to do. You want to take that decision out of the player's hands. It's a fast, physical game."
Horcoff has played internationally several times with no-touch icing in effect.
"We read last night why Europe changed the rule, because a Czech player (Ludek Cajka) died (February 1990 of a spinal injury while playing in the Czech Elite League). You don't want to get into that.
"Taylor was playing some great hockey for us, really making a name for himself," said Horcoff. "His injury is tough for all of us to take. He's got a tough road ahead of him in the next while.
"We hope he's back in Edmonton soon, and rehabbing."
Nystrom, the hard-working, likable fourth-liner son of former New York Islanders linchpin Bob Nystrom, was ejected from the game for boarding and might face further discipline, maybe a suspension of a few games from Brendan Shanahan if the NHL's new safety czar deems it was careless use of his stick.
"The puck was literally there and I said, 'I'm going to get this one.' I put my stick in and he took a stride in an awkward spot and next thing you this happens," said Nystrom. "We're taught to hustle and not give up on a play, but guys are so fast and so big, this racing is so dangerous. I'm sure it'll bring the icing debate back to the table."

wikiHow to Block Game Requests on Facebook
Three Methods:Blocking Specific Friends from Sending RequestsBlocking a Game CompletelyReviewing and Blocking Your InvitesCommunity Q&A
Facebook games are insanely popular, but not everyone loves getting constant requests from their friends to come play. If you're drowning in Facebook game requests, there are a couple of different ways that you can block them. While you can't outright block all games from ever showing up, you can block anyone you want from sending you requests, or you can block specific games from ever showing up again.
Blocking Specific Friends from Sending Requests
1Go to Settings in Facebook. Log into Facebook and open the Settings page. On the top-right corner of the page, click the small inverted triangle "▾" and then click "Settings".
2Open the Blocking page. On the left side of the screen, you will see a tab labeled "Blocking". Click it to open the blocking tools.
3Find the "Block app invites" section. Enter the name of the person who keeps sending you game requests. As you type a name, a list of potential matches will appear. Click the name and that person will be added to the block list.
- Adding a person's name to this section will only block the app requests from that person; it will not block him/her entirely.
- You can add as many names to this list as you'd like.
Blocking a Game Completely
1Go to Settings in Facebook. Log into Facebook and open the Settings page. On the top-right corner of the interface, click the small inverted triangle and then click "Settings".
2Open the Blocking page. On the left side of the screen, you will see a tab labeled "Blocking". Click it to open the blocking tools.
3Find the "Block apps" section. If you don't ever want to see a notification about a specific game, no matter who sends it, you can block the game entirely in this section. Enter the name of the game and select it from the matching results.
- Blocking apps will disable the app from contacting you or getting non-public information about you through Facebook.
- You can enter as many apps as you'd like.
- It is not possible to block all games at once. You will need to manually enter each game that you want blocked.
Reviewing and Blocking Your Invites
1Open the Facebook App Center. This page allows you to see and add apps, as well as review your recent invitations. You can access the App Center by visiting facebook.com/games. You will need to be logged in with your Facebook account.
2Click the "Activity" tab. This is located at the top of the page beneath the search bar, next to the "Find Games" tab.
3Check the "Invites" and "Requests" sections. You can navigate between the two sections by clicking their links on the left side of the page. Find any notifications that you wish to block.
4Click the "X" button to deny the request. This will open additional options, allowing you to block the sender from sending future requests, or block the entire app itself from ever showing up on your feed.[1]

Moisture or Repair? Help!!!
This is my first time transitioning, and I will continue to get regular haircuts until the relaxed hair grows out completely. I am now about four months into my transition and I am having a hard time figuring out what my hair really needs. Do I need moisture or do I need repair? My hair type is somewhere on the 4 scale, and I do not necessarily want curls, I just want to be relaxer free. Right now I use Aveda's Brilliance as a shampoo and the restructuring conditioner along with their leave-in conditioner and glossing gel. I also use their brilliance oil mixed with olive and jojoba oil daily . I do blow-dry and flat-iron my hair every time I wash which is about once per week (a little less frequently if I am being lazy). I live in southern VA, so the winters are not too harsh. I need new conditioner and I have been going back and forth between their Dry Remedy and Damage Remedy lines. I can't quite decide which one I would need more going forward. I usually get the giant liter bottles, so I would hate to be stuck with one of those if it is not what I really need for my hair. I do tend to stick with Aveda because their products have worked well for my hair thus far.
Any help, suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Any help, suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Iambeautful Posts: 3Registered UsersIt soulds like you need to impart more moisture into your hair routine. I did not read anywhere that you were doing reguarly deep conditioning treatments with heat. Try Giovanni Smooth as Silk deep mositure conditioner with some oils and 30min-1hr under the dryer to see if that will help you. Be careful with the restructuring conditioner, those tend to be protein based. You could have a protein overload which takes weeks of deep conditioning and moisture to help. Use some suave products to condition you hair with as well. They are cheap and curly girl approved.....HHJ
Ronnieaj Posts: 304Registered UsersI agree that you need to impart more moisture into your hair, but you need to maintain a certain level of protein so long as you have relaxed ends, or you'll start to get breakage at the line of demarcation. Why don't you buy 16oz of both the Dry Remedy and the Damage Remedy rather than going all out for just one? Who have two types of hair on your head, and they have different needs. And if you're going to flat iron your hair regularly, then you definitely need to make sure that you have sufficient protein in it, else you run the risk of breaking off the relaxed hair and damaging the natural hair.
Why don't you try alternating conditioners for a while and see how your hair responds, and go from there? Good luck.0
Thank you both for the replies. I got the Dry Remedy conditioner, and I will use that with the Damage Remedy Leave-In, that I already have. I hope that works to give each type of hair what it needs.0

investigations· Auto Theft Program
To report your vehicle was stolen
Please contact your local law enforcement jurisdiction.
To determine if a vehicle is a salvage vehicle or was stolen
Please go to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) Web site at https://www.nicb.org and select VINCheck
The Washington State Patrol Auto Theft Section was established with the formation of the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) in 1982. As part of the CID, the Auto Theft Section consists of dedicated detectives assigned in four major metropolitan areas of the state to investigate auto theft and related crimes. In 1999, the Auto Theft Section was enhanced with the establishment of three Regional Auto Theft Units (King County, Spokane and Tacoma), and the assignment and training of dedicated; auto theft detectives in Seattle, Spokane, and Tacoma.
Since inception, the goal of the Auto Theft Section had been to reduce the incidence of vehicle and major component vehicle part theft and related crime. Since that time, each Regional Auto Theft Unit has become involved in numerous high-profile auto theft cases, resulting in hundreds of stolen vehicles worth millions of dollars, major component vehicle parts, and other property being recovered and returned to the rightful owners. All the while, working cooperatively with other local, state, and federal enforcement authorities in multi-agency task force-type settings in order to garner substantial state and federal prosecutions.
The Problem
The incidence of auto theft and related crimes continues to be a major concern for Washington residents. In 2005, more vehicles were reported stolen (41,293) to Washington Crime Information Center (WACIC) than any other year in Washington State history. Although reported stolens in Washington were down in 2013 (26,538), the national trend continued to show increases in auto theft for most western states. The CID's Auto Theft Section continues to take a proactive multi-pronged approach and continually searches for new innovative ways to address the problem.
When compared to the national statistics for 2005, Washington ranked third in the nation for auto theft with a per capita rate of 5.54 per 100,0000 inhabitants. Washington State's stolen vehicles per capita rates have been on a steady decline since 2005, and although Washington State ranke fourth in the nation for 2013, the per capita rate was 3.21 per 100,000 inhabitants.
In Washington State, 84 percent of all auto theft continues to occur in the most heavily populated area, such as King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, Yakima, and Clark counties.

The event in Newtown was tragic; yielding our 2nd amendment rights because of it is beyond tragic.
Politicians and journalists with this longtime agenda are capitalizing on Newtown hoping emotion carries the day. Let's step back and consider what this means for us.
As everyone knows, the Bill of Rights is there for our protection
The right to keep and bear arms is high on the list because the founding fathers knew an armed citizenry was the best way to keep a government honest.
We all know the quote about absolute power — well, what is that but having all the guns and your target having none?
This is why historically gun control has always meant doom for the populace. See how things played out in Nazi Germany, China, USSR and Rwanda soon after these measures were enacted. Banning assault rifles etc. seems to make sense until you consider an attacker may be a gang of attackers. Think it can't happen? Who knows what chaos is to come as the Fed steadily weakens the dollar buying up $80B of its own debt month after month in QE3 purchases?
Violent crimes increase after gun control because the weak can't fight back—thus encouraging more predators.
What few are saying is that in almost all mass shootings SSRI drugs have been a factor. But then, why ruffle Big Pharma which sponsors around- the- clock entertainment news?
Back to the main issue: this is a government which loves guns and ammo. Consider the wars, armed drones and the NDAA (google).
The U.S. has bought over 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point bullets, which cannot be used overseas due to a Geneva Convention ban. What is up with this?
Back to Newtown. Many things don't add up, as you can see for yourself by viewing the Ben Swann Full Disclosure video on youtube; but don't expect a press with an agenda to uncover them.
Don't trade away our birthright for any cause celebre, especially one with so many unanswered questions. It will only mean more Newtowns.
Gun control is nothing but victim disarmament.

text: I tried 4 different string sets on a new jazz 5 clone bass. I was going for a half-wound / pressure wound string. the ghs pressure wounds were the only string set that provided the same sustain on the B string and even starting out the B was a little less sustain, but I could compensate with active electronics. so I 'settled' for those strings because they were closest to consistent across all strings. It's true about every bass needs to match its strings, as I had never had any B string issue with 2 other 5'ers. So I played it a while and in a few weeks I went back to another bass that had the tone I really wanted. And I'd pick the new bass up once in a while and play and then put it back. Last weekend I took out the new bass and thought about trying out a few other string sets. It had been a few months and the pressure wounds didn't seem to be aging all that well. I bumped a tuner getting it out of the gig bag and brought out the tuner. The strings had stretched (or ?) and were off a full step. I tuned it up and quite unexpectedly everything came to life. Now I love these strings. They are so responsive to producing different tomes based on where and how they're played and have a much wider tonal response than any of my 'favorite' strings. These things are great.

Apprenticeships target is beaten
We did it! A hundred days ago the Belfast Telegraph decided it would try to do something to help the dire employment situation among our young. In our 100 Jobs In 100 Days campaign we wanted to back apprenticeships as a real option to help start a career. Today we can announce that with the help of many friends...
We've done it, and then some. The Belfast Telegraph has succeeded in securing pledges to create 100 apprenticeships over 100 days — in fact, we secured 108.
Firms who signed up to our 100 Jobs in 100 Days campaign since its launch on May 29 have vowed to recruit apprentices. They range from sole traders to the province's biggest company, Moy Park.
Employment Minister Stephen Farry, whose department has responsibility for apprenticeships, congratulated the Belfast Telegraph on its campaign which marks its 100th day today.
He said: "The campaign has done much to highlight the true value of our apprentices and their importance to our businesses."
Prime Minister David Cameron and First and Deputy First Ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness have also given their enthusiastic support.
We also attracted the backing of some of Northern Ireland's most respected industrialists, like one-time Harland and Wolff apprentice Sir John Parker, who went on to lead several FTSE 100 companies, and former Shorts chairman Sir Roy McNulty, now the deputy chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority.
Today Co Armagh-based Moy Park has said it will create six apprenticeships for its existing staff. Engineering firm McGreevy Engineering in Belfast is taking on two new apprentices to ensure the engineering skills it needs for its aerospace work are passed on.
And in a fitting denouement, Belfast Telegraph founders W&G Baird announced that they are creating an apprenticeship.
We have maintained a roll of honour detailing companies which have signed up and the numbers they have taken on. One has even raised the number of apprentices it initially pledged. Tony Shivers, manager of Premier Electrics in Bellaghy, Co Londonderry, yesterday said it would now take on two staff instead of the one we originally recorded.
"The campaign was a great idea," he said. "We had taken on an apprentice a couple of years ago and had thought, it's about time we were doing it again. This campaign gave us the push we needed to do so."
The endorsement of small to medium-sized firms has been the backbone of this campaign. In June, JD McGeown in south Belfast told us that they would hire two apprentices.
The company said it had stopped taking on apprentices during the downturn but then found itself to be lacking in the new blood necessary to replace staff who were leaving or retiring.
And in one of his final actions as Secretary of State, Owen Paterson pledged his support, saying: "I congratulate the Belfast Telegraph for taking positive action to support young people and businesses in Northern Ireland with the 100 jobs in 100 days campaign.
"The benefits of apprenticeships are proven: young |people gain experience and the |opportunity to learn as they earn and businesses get loyal staff, well trained to meet the needs of their business."
Mr Paterson added: "Many top businessmen and women began their careers as apprentices — some of them, such as Sir Roy McNulty, have supported the Belfast Telegraph campaign."
Apprentices are typically young people. But the Department for Employment and Learning recently cut funding for over-25s in all but what it describe as "economically important" areas like IT and engineering.
Justin Edwards, assistant chief executive and curriculum director at Belfast Metropolitan College said: "With the unemployment rate among 18-to-24 year olds having just hit a UK high, the Belfast Telegraph's 100 jobs in 100 days campaign is more timely than ever."

'I really wanted to start work and earn money'
By Margaret Canning
With eight good GCSE grades under his belt, Matthew McManus could easily have gone on to study A-Levels.
Instead, the Co Down 16-year-old opted to apply for an apprenticeship at Irwin Electrical Services, which pledged to take on six new apprentices in response to the Belfast Telegraph's 100 jobs in 100 days campaign. Matthew — whose apprenticeship started this week in Portadown — said: "I had a work placement in October 2011 while I was still at secondary school and I had actually chosen to do plumbing.
"But my brother is an electrician, and during the placement I was edging more towards what the sparks [electricians] were doing rather than the plumbers. I was enticed towards the electrical side of things."
Despite the A-Level path being open to Matthew after earning eight GCSE A to C grades — a former pupil at |New-Bridge Integrated College in Loughbrickland — he wanted something else.
"I really wanted to go into the world of work and earn myself some money. It was my priority to get into the career of an electrician. It was the main thing I wanted to do," he said.
"I definitely enjoy what I am doing. It's a real learning curve."
The first few days of his apprenticeship have entailed learning about street lights.
But he admitted he had been worried about the future: "I was definitely concerned. I know how tough it is in the trade and how hard it is to get a job."
His is a four-year apprenticeship and who knows what the future could hold. He could maybe even set up by himself and generate employment.
Three more firms sign up to our jobs drive
By Margaret Canning
Three new companies pledged to create apprenticeships in the last few days of the Belfast Telegraph's 100 Jobs in 100 Days campaign.
Antrim printing firm W&G Baird, Co Armagh-based poultry processor Moy Park and McGreevy Engineering in Belfast will take on nine apprentices in total.
Noel Millar, NVQ and outreach manager at Moy Park, said it would give apprenticeships to six existing members of staff to help them go further in their careers.
Mr Millar said: "It's a way for the company to increase flexibility on the shop floor. It's also a means for staff to take on more responsibility, go further with the company and gain a promotion."
Around 30 staff have gone through an apprenticeship programme in Moy Park over the past eight years — and 80% of them have moved forward in their career with the business.
"People can always go further, depending on their own push and drive," said Mr Millar.
"The company will make sure you are absolutely developed to your full potential," he added.
Trevor Brennan, finance director of printer W&G Baird — which founded this newspaper as the Belfast Evening Telegraph in 1870 — said it had recruited an apprentice for its bindery section.
"We need operators and there is a skills shortage in binding," he said.
He praised our campaign, saying: "I've been reading it all the way through with interest. It's great that there is some good news out there."
Tommy Hanna, works manager at McGreevy Engineering, said it was taking on two new apprentices to address a lack of skills.
"There are no skilled guys out there, so we are just going to train them up ourselves," he said.
Mr Hanna said the problem stemmed back to the closure of engineering training centres around the UK in the 1980s.
They are now seeking people with good results in maths and science.
"We want people who will be able to apply themselves to the job," he said.

Inmate arrested for Hale Nani escape attempt
Police are investigating an escape from Hale Nani Correctional Facility that resulted in an arrest of an inmate.
At 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, 40-year-old Mary Lolita Santos of Mountain View was arrested for second-degree escape. She's being held at the police cellblock while detectives investigate.
At about 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to Hale Nani, which is located off Route 11 in Hilo, after receiving a report that at about 9:40 a.m., a woman inmate scaled a fence and fled the minimum security facility on foot. After running along Route 11 and into the Puna-bound traffic lanes, she stopped a blue van and jumped into the passenger side window, police said.
State correctional officers were able to prevent the van from leaving until they took Santos into custody. The van then left the area.
Detectives want to interview the van's driver, who's described as an older Filipino man. He was operating a blue Honda Odyssey van that may have been a taxi, as it was described as having the letters "PUC" on its exterior.
Police ask anyone who may have witnessed this incident or may know the identity of the driver to call Detective Norbert Serrao at 961-2383 or email email@example.com. Those who prefer anonymity may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300.

Flying Lotus describes himself as the ''Bugs Bunny'' of beats, because of his unorthadox approach to making records.
Flying Lotus describes himself as the ''Bugs Bunny'' of beats.
The innovative electro star tries to think of himself as a cartoon character, as ''everything's possible in cartoons.''
He told RedBulletin magazine: ''A big part of my process is just experimentation, then I find the right pieces within it. That helps blow up the limitations of your imagination. I am Bugs Bunny and I can pull beats or whatever out of your pockets.''
Flying Lotus - real name Steven Ellison - says he pushes himself to come up with exciting, fresh beats, and likes to use things that aren't conventional instruments.
He added: ''I think it has to do with me messing around with stuff in my studio that aren't really instruments.
''I'll pick up my cup of pens and just record them falling on the table.''
Flying Lotus has been compared to artists as diverse as Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, but while he was flattered by such comparisons to begin with, he has started to dislike the different labels people give his music.
He said: ''I needed to separate myself from that scene. I had to move on, even if that's risky from a career point of view''.

Shipman judge 'in despair' over doctors who are not struck off
The judge who conducted the Shipman Inquiry has joined the Royal College of Surgeons and patients' groups in urging reform of medical regulation after The Times exposed flaws that let "dangerous" doctors carry on working.
The General Medical Council (GMC) has no power to appeal against decisions reached by its fitness-to-practise panels in misconduct or negligence cases. Last year 40 doctors were permitted by panels to remain on the medical register despite GMC investigators recommending that they be struck off.
Dame Janet Smith, who chaired the 2004 inquiry into Britain's most prolific serial killer, the GP Harold Shipman, said it was vital that an appeals process be created for fitness-to-practise panels so that public confidence could be restored.
"I'm more or less in despair about…

When Axel announced his new CD "Mystica" back in 2006 and stated that it was going to be in the veins of "Oceans Of Time" I was counting day-by-day to the release of "Mystica" to listen to it and to see if Axel was right about this being better than his 1998 release.
What I read is what I got!! "Mystica" is better than "Oceans Of Time" and that's why the title THE MYSTIC ONE, just as the first song starts with Mike's drums so fast that I already turned up the volume of my stereo even more to wake up all my neighbors and just as Johnny enters with his brilliant vocals I was already banging alone in my room, what a tremenduous fast song.
This CD goes straight this way throughout the CD, in order as: "Rock The Nation" with a brilliant sing-along chorus, "Valley Of Sin" kind of ballad in the beginning which gets really mid-tempo throughout, "Living A Lie" just like the third song in this CD amazing chorus and great work in the solo by Axel, "No Chance To Live" an awesome ballad with great lyrics, difficult to judge if this one is ARP's best ballad ever, "Haunted Castle Serenade" another great instrumental song done by the mystical Axel Rudi Pell and "Losing The Game" in his chorus "the jealous" I think for sure is Malmsteen after listening to the CD.
Now the best two songs in this CD are "Mystica" what an atmosphere, I just can't stop listening this song 'till now, one of my favorite epic songs, again very difficult to judge which one is the best ARP epic song. To finish the CD now Axel chose the right song even if he decided to choose with any other song of this CD would be brilliantly finished, but the way "The Curse Of The Damned" is played is what makes me wanna listen to the CD all over again or think why Axel doesn't add more than 10 songs in his CD's, the last minutes of this song is brilliant what a duet by Axel Rudi Pell and Ferdy Doernberg, simply the best, it's mystical, it's the Mystic One!!

CSE Director Sunita Narain told journalists in Delhi that samples from 12 states showed that Pepsi products contained 30 times more pesticides than found in 2003.Update: Reader Rajiv says, "This is indeed a grave public health scandal! Here's the August 2006 lab reports (in pdf) and here's the inside story:
Likewise she said that Coke samples had 25 times the amount of pesticides found three years ago...
In 2003, an Indian parliamentary committee upheld the CSE findings on the presence of pesticide residues and recommended that standards were set for soft drinks too.
The Indian Food Processing Industries minister, Subodh Kant Sahay said the government would look into the matter when it receives an official complaint.
Our world changed a little when we published the study on pesticide residues in soft drinks. In the work we do, fights go with the territory. We need to challenge institutions — government and private — in the public interest. What we had not anticipated, however, was the sheer power and the virulence of the attack. The fact is that the two companies affected — Coca-Cola and PepsiCo — were incidental to our story on pesticide contamination and the need for food standards to regulate safety. The fact that two us multinationals were involved was a mere coincidence. But not for them.(Thanks Rajiv)
The first attack was on our laboratory — they questioned the data analysis, our capabilities, our equipment and then as it got nastier, they resorted to personalised attacks on us and our integrity. Their favourite ploy was to dismiss us as a pawn in a conspiracy hatched by Europe (because we get funds from multilateral and bilateral agencies) to destroy the good name of us companies. But this was not all.

It is never too early to take a look at some of the top underclassmen in the state of Ohio. Two that recruiters are already aware of are Upper Sandusky sophomore offensive lineman Isaac Anderson and Pickerington North freshman fullback Zach Boren.
The 6-foot-4 and 290-pound Anderson was Upper Sandusky's starting offensive left tackle during his freshman season and helped his team win eight of 11 games.
Anderson has picked up this season where he left off his freshman year and is playing very well from his tackle spot.
Article Continues Below
Anderson has attended Ohio State's football camp two years in a row and has the Buckeyes high on his list.
Other schools he is interested in include Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan State, Michigan.
And speaking of Michigan, might there be not only one more Boren headed to Ann Arbor, but two?
It is a difficult task to start as a true freshman at a Division I school, but that is excactly what Zach Boren is doing at Pickerington North.
The 6-foot-0 and 255-pound Boren made a huge immediate splash, rushing for 158 yards on just 12 carries and scoring three times in his first varsity game.
Zach is the son of former Michigan linebacker Mike Boren, and the younger brother of Michigan commitment Justin Boren, one of the country's top senior offensive line prospects.

How does cs2 and cf4 differ in bonding
There's a little more to consider here! First, consider how the molecules could be connected, given what you know of how different elements behave. You should, at this point, know that carbon tends to get in the middle of things, fluorine always gets on the outside, and sulfur can either get in the middle (particularly surrounded by oxygen!), on the outside, or occasionally in the middle but surrounded by other things than oxygen.
Here, since for C + 4F, carbon must be in the middle, the carbon shares each of its 4 valence shell electrons (it starts out as 2s(2), 2p(2); but then the electron distributions mix around "hybridize" to form four equivalent single sp(3) type electrons, directed out towards the corners of a tetrahedron (triangular pyramid)). Each of the F atoms shares one of its 2p electrons with the carbon. NOW you have four rather polar bonds (the fluorine has more of its shared electron pair, and the carbon has less of it), but since the bonds are directed symmetrically outwards, there's no net dipole moment to the molecule, as noted in the answer above.
For CS(2), the carbon still has 4 electrons to share "out", and needs 4 electrons shared "in"; each of the sulfurs needs to share 2 electrons "in". So, the carbon shares its two pairs of electrons "out", either direction along an straight axis going through the carbon nucleus, and one sulfur atom perches to either side of the carbon. Technically, one pair of electrons between the carbon and a sulfur are a "sigma bond" -- the electrons are in a cloud centered right along the axis. The other pair of electrons between each carbon and the sulfur are found in a "pi bond" -- they are found in two banana-shaped regions, one region on either side of the axis, but *not* along the axis itself. More interestingly, the pi-bonds going out towards the two sulfur atoms, are not lined up with each other; rather, they are turned 1/4 turn away from each other, as you view them down the axis. Why do they do this? B/c they need to get as far away from each other as possible, and that's the position that gets them there.
Again, although each of the carbon-sulfur bonds (considering the sigma and pi bonds between each carbon-sulfur pair as grouped together for charge effect) is rather polar (though not as polar as a carbon-fluorine bond!), b/c the 2 bonds are going in exactly opposite directions, the total molecule as a whole is non-polar.
Why is this polar vs. non-polar characteristic of a molecule important?
B/c polar molecules boil at much higher temperatures than non-polar ones. CF4 boils ~ -127C; CS2 (being much heavier from the S's) boils at 46C. But a little POLAR molecule like H2O -- boils way up at 100C. If it didn't have hydrogen bonding (as a result of its polarity) it would boil way low -- maybe -100C {comparators: H2Se @-41C, H2S @-60C} -- and life as we know it wouldn't exist!
Even if we didn't have to worry about our existence, it's also certainly easier to work with solids and liquids in the lab, rather than gases that are always trying to escape and diffuse away! So, predicting the physical characteristics of new materials is a very useful thing to be able to do.

Michael Douglas says Catherine Zeta Jones 'raring to go' after treatment
Catherine Zeta-Jones is "raring to go" after being treated for bipolar II disorder.
The actress proactively went into a 30-day medical treatment programme in April.
Her husband Michael Douglas insists she is much better after the maintenance measure.
"She's got herself worked out with her meds and she's raring to go," he told Extra TV.
Michael also explained why he and Catherine decided to publicly address certain aspects of their lives.
With plenty of news publications around he accepts that it is better to share things in some cases.
"You have to now there are just so many outlets," he commented. "Liberace we're talking about, he was in the closet. In his day there were only two or three gossip outlets, now it's everywhere. So it's better that you get out in front of it and tell your story before it becomes gossip."
The actor is currently at the Cannes International Film Festival in France promoting his role as flamboyant musician Liberace in HBO film Behind The Candelabra.
After battling throat cancer, he was thrilled to be given this part in particular.
"You've got to put it in perspective… coming off of the cancer, I was just happy to be alive, and then someone hands me one of the best scripts I've ever read," he continued. "Steven Soderbergh tells me he's going to direct, Jerry Weintraub is going to produce, Matt Damon is going to be my co-star… and I get to play Liberace! I was like, 'Aw, baby this is too good to be true!' I was ready for some good luck."
Michael, 68, is confident that his health will be back on good form for a while now.
He is looking forward to the future with his 43-year-old spouse plus their son Dylan, 12, and daughter Carys, nine.
"I feel great. I'm cancer-free, and with my particular type of cancer, if you're free after two years, it doesn't usually come back," he said.

Melissa likes girls. Now can we please move on?
Five years ago Melissa Etheridge told New Times readers that she had no idea what ingredients go into the recipe for rock stardom. That was back in the spring of 1989, on the high heels of her startling first album. She was Dorothy at Oz then, a Kansas kid with a guitar and a knack for writing songs, playing in SoCal bars until she was "discovered" by Chris Blackwell and signed to Island. Then came a couple of platinum albums, a handful of Grammy nominations, and, one year ago, a Grammy win in the category of Best Female Rock Performance for "Ain't It Heavy."
Today, driving home after rehearsing for her current tour, talking on the car phone from L.A., Etheridge says she's still not sure what makes for fame and fortune in the rock biz. "I mighta got lucky," she offers. "I just love what I do. I write and sing, and that's what I love. You can get drowned in the business and the hype of it. Certainly once you reach a certain amount of people, you want to reach more. But that won't take away from what I do."
Arguable. With Hugh Padgham at the board for her latest, Yes I Am, Etheridge has created a rich, smooth, inoffensive collection of nice songs. And for the auteur of Melissa Etheridge, Brave and Crazy, and Never Enough that is a big letdown. Fans have come to expect more than a nice pop album from the fiery femme.
Padgham is famous for his work with Genesis/Phil Collins and the Police/Sting, and that goes a long way in explaining the blandness of Yes I Am. Blackwell, Etheridge says, also had a hand in the new album. "He had some tough suggestions," the singer says. "He took an especially active role in this album, he let me know what he thought about the songs, what musicians were playing on it. He keeps a hand on the pulse of what I'm doing."
Etheridge also says she and her cohorts -- including Waddy Wachtel on guitar and Pino Palladino on bass -- went for a "live- sounding" album, and in some ways they succeeded. Yes I Am isn't cluttered or overproduced, it's just too glossy. (With exceptions, such as the word-perfect "All American Girl," in which listeners learn a character is a worn-out waitress via this lyric: "These drinks are getting heavy/And these tips are getting weak.")
One listen to a live recording from October 20, 1989, however, reminds that it really doesn't matter what Etheridge has recorded over the years. She can -- and actually has -- blow the roof off a venue simply by covering Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart." Over and over Etheridge has declared that she is a live performer first and foremost. "It's my absolute favorite thing," she said back in '89, and five years later she hasn't lost her love for it.
Which makes it somewhat frightening that for the limited tour she begins this week, and which brings her to town next Wednesday, Etheridge is opening for (gulp!) Sting. "I have a new band and I wanted to kick off the tour opening for someone," she offers. "I want to reach more people. Sting has a great audience, so I can reach a wider audience. Then I'll headline again."
If recording with Hugh Padgham and appearing live with Sting are indicators of a change in priorities for the ballsy singer, then her new take on fan clubs seems to spell sellout. It's called the Melissa Etheridge Information Network and includes a hotline and newsletter. "It is a fan club, yes," Etheridge admits. "And I hate fan clubs. The only reason I agreed to do it is that it allows people to find out where I'm playing. That's the biggest thing, where you're playing next. And you can buy preferred tickets through it. That means a lot to them, the real hard-core fans don't get scalped or have to stand in lines. So I put up with all the other stuff."
One thing that hasn't changed is how Etheridge writes her genderless, big-picture songs. "Yeah, I'm still writing on my guitar, sitting in a room with a piece of paper," she says. "That allows me to get a hold on a song, to really let it be an entity on its own before I bring it to the band." And five years later she's still playing (as both a string and percussion instrument) the old reliable Ovation twelve-string. "Well, not the same one," she says with a laugh. "I have a few of them that I keep in rotation. It's best for on stage."
Blackwell once said that he expects Etheridge to fill the Rock Hero hole left by Bruce Springsteen's fizzle. A lyrical vagueness -- and perhaps her lack of a penis -- is all that separates Etheridge from the Bruce/Cougar/Jovi crowd. She's tough and snarly, sincere and sensitive, macho and not, honest about what she does. She's not playing a role, she's living one, and that, along with a ton of great music and that exemplary live rep, should be enough.
Of course it's not. Etheridge first set herself up for an invasion of privacy by appearing topless, back turned, guitar riding hip, on the cover of the Never Enough album. A Springsteen rip, or parody? -- psychosexual statement? Only if you believe everything you read. "We live in a world of the vanishing album," she explains. "Before, you could do complicated things in the artwork of vinyl albums. Now the configurations are tiny. I wanted a CD cover people could see all the way across the record store and notice. Also, I have a big problem with fashion. I'd prefer not to have to wear anything. I wore jeans on that, because jeans are the most comfortable."

Her care for packaging carries over to the booklet that accompanies the CD. On the very last page, over a blazing shot of her face in mid-sing, is a dedication to her father, who died after his footloose daughter proved her rock mettle but before her sex life became a media issue. (One cheering story to come out of the coming out was Mel's mom's reaction. Essentially Mom said that if someone couldn't handle her daughter's romantic inclinations, then that person was the one who had a problem.)
The media, too, have a problem. Yes I Am is described in the press as a coy title (as in, Yes I Am Queer), and much of her music is critically deconstructed in terms of its source's sexuality. Some really dumb writers refer to Etheridge's "wide following among gay women." Such limited thinking insults both artist and fan. "Sure, I'll talk about my personal life," Etheridge says warmly on the car phone. "I have no trouble with it. The title of the new album is not a reference to that. I knew people would take it that way, though. I knew they'd chuckle."
One of the best pieces written about Etheridge was by Rolling Stone senior writer David Wild, but the story appeared in US, not Stone. ("You won't find me in Stone," the singer quips.) The subheadline on the US article: "She's on the charts, out of the closet, and taking rock back to the heartland." Etheridge might reprioritize those concepts, invert them: music first, personal business second, commercial success third. Maybe those things have blended together now, become less distinguishable from one another. It's part of moving on. It's part of the recipe for rock stardom.
Melissa Etheridge opens for Sting 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Miami Arena, 721 NW 1st Ave, 530-4444. At press time a few $28.50 tickets were still available.

Protestors in front of Congressperson Laura Richardson's branch office in Long Beach.
10:00am | Long Beach has not been a major hub in the Occupy movement. Although you wouldn't always know it from police interest, aside from the first couple of nights at Lincoln Park, and with the notable exception of the "Occupy the Ports" event and a couple of city council meetings, Occupy Long Beach has suffered from low turnout.
Friday afternoon was a case in point, when OLB held a rally in front of Congressperson Laura Richardson's branch office in (to quote the OLB press release) "a Call to dissent of the N.D.A.A. (National Defense Authorization Act)" because it "effectively ends the bill of rights and nullifies amendments four through eight of the U.S. constitution, at the whim of military or federal order" and "grants military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate, imprison (as long as indefinitely) and even assassinate suspects, even american citizens on home soil or foreign land" [sic].
But perhaps it's not quite right to say that OLB showed up Friday, because the total turnout was 15 members. And "rally" -- the term used in the OLB press release -- may not be quite right, either, because the two-hour stay in front of 100 W. Broadway consisted of little more than the members standing out front with signs. A couple of members did venture up to Richardson's office -- one wielding a sign reading, "NDAA IS TERRORIST" -- but Richardson was in Washington, D.C. (They did have a brief parley.)
So, does Friday count as a protest?
One person can conduct a protest, of course; and surely it takes more gumption to put yourself out there as part of a tiny group than to blend into a mass of humanity. But the question of protest size can't be avoided. As one OLBer posited last month, "I think they [i.e., the City] look at the size of our group and think, 'I don't really have to listen to them right now.'"
On Friday one of the group members who did show up ("in the hopes that [Richardson] can petition the government to get rid of [a certain] clause in the NDAA" because "it gives [the government] a more free reign to detain Americans without due process and indefinitely. […] Everyone that can petition the government is a step towards getting rid of it") stated that the low attendance was due to most OLBers having committments that precluded them from being present at 3-5 p.m. on a weekday.
"A lot of people are working," he said. "The ones that can [be available] are here. The thing with the Occupy movement is that a lot of the folks that are part of the Occupy movement do have jobs or go to school. They're not just lazy people; they're not just people without jobs. […] They come out on weekends, bigger turnouts; but during the week it's up to when they get off work or out of school."
In December Richardson was one of the "ayes" that contributed to the passage of the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2012, which has been roundly criticized by civil-rights groups as being unconstitutional on a number of counts, including its authorization of indefinite detention of American citizens without trial.
A statement issued to the Long Beach Post from Richardson's office says the while the NDAA "was imperfect [… l]ike most bills that come to the floor for a vote," she voted in favor of it "for three principle reasons: First, it provides for troop and equipment readiness. Second, it provides much needed help and support for military families. Third, it authorizes critical investments in technology to ensure that the United States is prepared to defend against emerging threats now and in the future."
"Occupy has realized that the corruption we're fighting is not just one place, it is in so many departments, so many levels of the government, from the White House right on down to the individual municipalities," said an OLBer who took part in the protest said. "The corruption is so ingrained in our society, [and] the people have been asleep and letting it happen. It's now ingrained itself so well that we're that we're basically being run by corporations, which is terrible. We're just trying to wake people up. We're trying to get people awake and aware of what's going on in their world."

The Directors Guild of America has announced its five nominees for the outstanding directorial achievement in a feature film award for 2013.
First timers are Alfonso Cuarón for his work on "Gravity," starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen, and Paul Greengrass, director of "Captain Phillips," starring Tom Hanks.
"To be chosen by your peers in a year full of incredibly well-crafted films is the true marker of outstanding directorial achievement," said DGA president Paris Barclay. "The passion and vision of each of the nominees resulted in tremendously diverse films that kept audience mesmerized."
Also up for an award this year is David O. Russell, director of "American Hustle," starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Russell was previously nominated for 2010's "The Fighter."
Martin Scorsese has been nominated for the 11th time, this year for his work on "The Wolf of Wall Street." The nomination puts him at a tie with Steven Spielberg for most nominated, and if he walks away with a golden disk, they'll be tied in the DGA Award winners department too. Scorsese's nominations include "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "Goodfellas," "The Age of Innocence," "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator," and "Hugo." Past wins were in 2006 for another Scorsese/Leo team-up in "The Departed," and he also won an award for outstanding directorial achievement in dramatic television for "Boardwalk Empire."
The winner will be honored at the 66th annual DGA Awards dinner hosted by Jane Lynch Jan. 25 in Los Angeles' Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.
Nominations for outstanding directorial achievement in television and commercials will be announced Jan. 9, and nominations for achievement in documentaries Jan. 13.

And now there's a song about C.J. Spiller
Because all seven-carry, 6-yard performances should be memorialized in song, a local Buffalo band named Sudden Urge has recorded a ditty in tribute to Bills' rookie running back C.J. Spiller(notes). It's called "The Spiller" and is a re-arrangement of Michael Jackson's legendary "Thriller." Here's the report from Buffalo's WGRZ.
Of course, Sudden Urge wrote the song before Spiller stumbled out of the gate against the Dolphins. The tune was born when Spiller optimism was at an all-time high, as he averaged better than 4 yards per carry and scored three touchdowns in preseason work.
You can hear the whole song and download it for free via the Sudden Urge website.
Miss you, Michael.
Gracias, Second-String Fullback.

Unit labour cost is obtained by dividing the total labour compensation by the total output produced. It is the labour cost applicable to one unit of output. When the labour costs increase profitability goes down unless it can be passed on to the customer through an increased price of the product. Increase in labour costs are viewed as a potential indicator of inflation.
Labour Costs are divided into 2:
Unit Labour Cost = Total Labour Costs / Total Output
It can also be measured as the ratio of labour charge per hour to the labour productivity. A rise in labour costs indicates greater compensation for the labourers but if it is not accompanied by an increase in labour productivity it indicates a threat to the economy's cost efficiency. Unit labour costs are hence used as an exclusive indicator of cost competitiveness.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Unit Labour Cost along with its overview.

Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 28, 1911.
Patented Jan. 16,1912. Serial No. 646,464.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT REACH, citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gymnasium Rowing Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
It is the object of my invention to pro- .vide a gymnasium apparatus by which the user can obtain the same exercise and development as in rowing, and my invention consists in the features and arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of a single scull rowing apparatus; Fig. 2 is a side view of the same; Fig. 3 is an end view; Fig. 4 represents a plan view of my invention as embodied in a sweep machine; Fig. 5 is a side elevation of Fig. 4; Fig. 6 is an end view of the apparatus shown in Figs. 4 and 5; Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken longitudinally through the cylinders, piston, and piston rod guides; Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of one end of the cylinder, in section, together with the piston and associated parts; Fig. 8 is a detail view showing the valve in section and in a different position from that of Fig. 7; Fig. 9 is a side view and an edge view of the piston ring.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, 1 indicates the main frame of the apparatus upon which the seat 2 is mounted to slide longitudinally thereof, and I preferably employ rollers at 3 mounted on the seat adapted to run on suitable tracks on the main frame. At 3 are shown the foot rests. The main frame also comprises laterally extending arms or out-riggers l, which are located about centrally of the length of the main frame, and inclined upwardly from said main frame, as shown in Fig. 3. The central main frame portion is rounded or curved on its under side, as shown at 5, so that the entire apparatus may rock laterally. Upon the outrigger portions 4 are supported cylinders 6 which will be described hereinafter, said cylinders containing water or oil, and the pistons of these cylinders are connected with the oars 7 through links 8 which are pivotally connected with arms 9 extending substantially at right angles to the oars. The operator sitting upon the seat 2 and working the oars can secure substantially the same eflect as in actual rowing, the necessary resistance being afforded by the pistons w0rking in the cylinders against a body of water or oil contained therein, and the lateral rocking motion similar to that of the boat or shell is secured by the rocking movement of the frame resulting from the use of .the curved bottom surface 5 of the main frame.
Referring to Fig. 7, the outer cylinder is provided with caps 7 upon which are screwthreaded stuffing boxes 8 with packing material 9 between these parts. Within the outer cylinder a secondary cylinder 10 is arranged, this hearing at one end upon the packing 9, and at its other end having a head 11. There is an annular space 12 between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, which latter forms the casing for the inner cylinder, and within the inner cylinder a piston is adapted to reciprocate, this piston consisting of a ring-shaped member 13 grooved to receive a piston ring 1 1, the ringshaped member forming also a seat for a valve plate or disk 15 which is adapted to slide on the rod 16, but being normally seated by a spring 17. The piston member is connected by arms 18 in the form of a yoke, with a screw-threaded part 19 of the piston rod 20. This piston rod extends out through the forward stuffing box, and along a guide tube or casing 21 in which the piston rod guide 22 is slidably mounted. Connection with this piston rod guide block 22 is made through a bolt 23 with the oar, as will be more particularly described hereinafter. The piston rod guide tube or casing is slotted at 24 for the passage of the bolt 23. The outer casing 6 and inner cylinder 10 are filled with water or oil which is introduced by removing a cap 25 of a reservoir 26, which surmounts the outer casing and connects with the interior thereof through an opening 27. The inner cylinder communicates with the outer casing at its front end through openings 28, and communication between the outer casing andthe inner cylinder at the'rear is afforded through a port 29 .and passages 30 extending through the rear head of the inner cylinder, these passages being controlled by a valve 31 mounted in the stuffing box and having a handle portion 32 by which the valve may be adjusted to increase or decrease the area of the passage or passages between the inner cylinder and the outer casing.
In the operation of the apparatus a pull upon the oar or oars will move the piston rearwardly in the inner cylinder, and the necessary resistance will be afforded by the water or oil in rear of the piston, and by the extent of opening of the passages leading from the inner cylinder to the space 12 between said inner cylinder and the outer casing, which passages, as before set forth, are regulated as to area by the adjusting screw or valve 31, and thus the user of the apparatus may secure a resistance suited to his strength. The water or oil forced from the rear of the inner cylinder passes into the intermediate space 12, and oil or water from this space is free to pass through the openings 28 into the forward portion of the inner cylinder, and as the reservoir 26 surmounts the outer case, and extends above the same a suflicient height, the inner cylinder and the casing will be completely filled with the liquid, and the action of the piston will be uniform and regular at all points of the stroke. The reservoir contains a suflicient surplus of liquid to insure the maintenance of the full supply within the inner cylinder and casing, and prevent the existence of air pockets within the casing or cylinder, it being only necessary to keep the reservoir supplied with liquid a sufficient height to secure a unifrom action of the apparatus. On the forward stroke of the piston, the valve 15 will open, allowing the liquid to pass freely from the front side to the rear side of the piston, this forward stroke taking place as-the oars are moved forward to begin a new stroke.
I prefer to form the piston ring as shown in Fig. 9 of spring material, decreasing in thickness to the point where the ends of the split ring meet. By this construction of spring ring it will accommodate itself to any irregularities in the bore of the inner cylinder. The guide tube or casing 21 will serve to hold lubricant for the piston rod guide block.
The guide tube 21 fits into an enlarged portion or chamber screwed to the stufling box, so that as this stufling box is adjusted the enlarged portion or casing will slide on the end of the guide tube 21 and maintain an oil tight joint therewith, it being understood that the guide tube 21 is fixed rigidly in the supporting frame, this being shown in Fig. 3 being connected at its outer end with said frame.
Referring to the mounting of the oar, this is pivoted at 32 to have vertical pivotal movement, and the bracket or fitting 33 in which the oar is pivoted has the arm 9 extending therefrom downwardly toward the piston rod from which the link 8 extends and connects with the bolt 23. This fitting or bracket 33 has a stem 34 extending into a socket of a bearing bracket 35 in which it is retained by a set screw 36 entering a groove extending circumferentially of the stud or pin 34. The chamber within the bearing bracket is enlarged to receive a supply of oil at 37 by which the stud 34 is lubricated. A spring 38 presses the oar normally upwardly.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the cylinders extend in a direction transversely of the apparatus, being mounted upon the out-rigger arms, whereas in the form of the invention shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, the cylinders or casings for the liquid and the piston rod guide casing extend in a direction parallel with the direction of movement of the seat for the user, and I have indicated in Fig. 4 the general relation of the sliding seat to the sweep. The car in this case when in intermediate position, extends at right angles to the axial line of the cylinder and casing, whereas in the form first described the oar extends, when in intermediate position, in a plane parallel with the axis of the cylinder.
I claim as my invention:
1. In combination in a rowing machine, a horizontal cylinder, a piston therein, connections between the same and the oar handle, an outer casing, with a space between the same and the cylinder communicating with the ends of the cylinder and containing therewith a body of liquid extending horizontally, and a reservoir having communication with the casing containing said horizontal body of liquid, said reservoir containing a supplementary liquid supply whereby a full supply of liquid is maintained in the casing and cylinder from end to end thereof.
