WHO: Senegal Ebola case 'a top priority emergency'
by The Associated Press
The World Health Organization says it is treating Senegal's first confirmed Ebola case "as a top priority emergency."
In a statement distributed Sunday, the WHO said it would address as quickly as possible Senegal's "urgent need" for support and supplies including personal protective equipment for health workers.
Senegal, a tourist and transportation hub, confirmed its first case of the deadly Ebola disease on Friday, becoming the fifth country in West Africa to be affected by an outbreak that has killed more than 1,500 people.
The patient is a 21-year-old student from Guinea who showed up at a hospital in Dakar on Aug. 26.
Authorities in Guinea had lost track of the student and alerted Senegal on Aug. 27 that he may have crossed into Senegal.

Coincidence, or Purpose?: "The Dream Merchant #1"
Image dreams the impossible dream by giving us a new comicbook set in the Dream World... that doesn't immediately become a Sandman ripoff.
The Dream Merchant #1Publisher: Image
Length: 22 pages
Writer: Nathan Edmondson, Konstantin Novosadov
Price: $3.99
Publication Date: 2013-05
If a comicbook is going to delve into the subject of dreams and the "dream world", inevitable comparisons to DC/Vertigo's Sandman are going to be thrown out by every single critic and fanboy on the map. Dreamland has already been plowed and planted, reaped and sowed, rinsed and repeated, salted and re-planted and then rinsed and repeated again. If it wasn't covered in the Wesley Dodds years or the Garrett Sanford/ Hector Hall years, it must have been covered in the Morpheus years when Neil Gaiman made every Dream his own.
Creating a new, unrelated comicbook about dreamland, the tangibility of dreams and the forces, coincidences and purposes surrounding that nether realm we all visit is all but impossible, without becoming a bigger ripoff of Sandman than Pepsi was of Coke. However, it turns out that "all but impossible" is not "impossible" if the comicbook is Image's the Dream Merchant, the writer is Nathan Edmondson and the artist is Konstantin Novosadov.
It is true that there are still some similarities to Gaiman's Sandman work, but without seeming overly-cautious about the avoiding comparisons, Edmondson and Novosadov have created a smart and surreal dream comicbook. It's all about all about a young man named Winslow who is so in touch with the "other side" that his dreams are as real to him as his reality is. This, of course, brings up the eternal question of which is the dream world and which is the reality. Unsurprisingly, such confusion has led to a life of problems at school and home until Winslow finds himself dreaming away his days and nights in a mental institution.
Keeping him grounded in reality is ward cafeteria worker Anne, who loans Winslow books she hopes will help him "wake up from them". When Winslow's buddy Ziggy asks presses Winslow about a possible romantic involvement, our main character says "It's hard to like anyone when you leave reality every night."
Ziggy's response? "Try Schizophrenia. I have to convince reality it exists."
Edmondson's dialogue isn't merely clever, it provides the setting for one of the more challenging aspects of this story, that being the question of what could possibly be counted on as real from the point of view of the unreliable narrator of Winslow himself who admits to being, and believes he is, quite insane.
In the late 1990s Mark Waid guest-wrote (then) all four Superman titles for a month in which Clark Kent's body (and thus his powers) are stolen and his mind is placed in the body of a mentally ill teenager who has delusions... of being Superman. Thus, Superman must try to convince a hospital staff that has heard this before, that he really is the Man of Steel, not the same kid who has made the selfsame argument every day since they've known him. After all, isn't "I'm Superman" something only a crazy person would say?
Similarly (or even, inversely), Edmondson builds Winslow as a man who has lived a life in doubt of both his realities, so the outlandish surely must not be real. The reader might have a hard time figuring this out, too, as the action of this first issue doesn't really get started until Winslow's doctor hypnotizes him for therapeutic reasons. If anything can happen in Winslow's dreams, and he's put under... how do we know when he's awake again.
No matter where the "real" reality lies, The Dream Merchant is no single-faceted story. We are shown that (in some reality, anyway) may constitute dream warring factions that Winslow might be in the middle of.
While the separation from Sandman is noteworthy and surprising, there are a few questions and images that feel a lot like Inception with just a bit of Harry Potter thrown in. Novosadov's art provides a beautiful accompaniment to Edmondson's story. On one hand, the look is somewhat simple without much detail. On the other, it flows, frame by frame, and coalesces into exactly what it's supposed to be, a surreal painting of a dreamscape that may or may not all be real.
The Dream Merchant works as a new and potentially challenging angle on a subject that seemed to have no room for competition. Truly, if Novosadov and Edmondson were aiming at the throne of Sandman, they would fail and fall. But for taking a unique sub-genre and breathing new and different life into it, they deserve at least a read.

If you were to look behind the scenes at just about any of the world's top companies, you'd probably find that they all have one thing in common – an aggressive strategy for recruiting. After all, they call it the "war for talent" for a reason. There's an understanding that finding the best possible employees is a must. If you don't land the elite talent, your competitors will. World-class employers know this, and they fight for prized recruits accordingly.
But what are they looking for, exactly? It's so difficult to tell, just by looking at a resume and cover letter, who are the best recruits to go after. Everyone looks more or less the same on paper, and just because someone has an impressive educational history or professional background doesn't mean they're guaranteed to be a good fit. Conversely, someone who doesn't jump off the resume page might actually thrive.
This is why recruiters use the interview process as a chance to dig deep into each candidate's character and find out what sets them apart. According to the Booher Research Institute, there are a few key traits they're looking for. Dianna Booher, author of "What More Can I Say: Why Communication Fails and What to Do About It," noted that many top executives like Virgin's Richard Branson and Apple's Angela Ahrendts are all looking for the same things.
"You may or may not be in the market for a new job," Booher noted. "Yet, what executives look for when they staff their organizations suggests as much about the priorities and personalities as the new hire's own. So if you intend to set up a strategic partnership with them, sell to them, socialize with them or work for them, learning what they value never hurts."
The following are six character traits that the best employers are often looking for:
A clear work ethic
Is the candidate hardworking? Do they have a history of getting a lot done in a timely fashion? Productivity is obviously a key goal.
A track record of dependability
No one wants an employee who will flake on an important project or fail to do their part to help the team. Employers want people they can rely on.
Flexible work styles
The best employees are self-motivated and can finish projects on their own, but they're also cooperative and can work as part of a team. They should have the flexibility for both.
Confidence, even under pressure
When there's an important project to finish and the clock is ticking, does the applicant have what it takes to follow through? Confidence is key in these situations.
Strong communication skills
Collaborating with a team of co-workers requires communicating well at all times. Does the applicant have the ability to convey ideas clearly and cordially?
A positive, can-do attitude
No one wants an employee who shies away from a challenge when things get tough. The best recruits are those who come in with a positive attitude and are prepared for whatever comes their way.

Crawley sign Wolves striker McAlinden
League Two side Crawley Town have signed Wolves striker Liam McAlinden on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old has scored two goals in 19 appearances for the Championship club since making his first-team debut in April 2013.
McAlinden had a spell at League One side Shrewsbury earlier this season, netting once in 11 appearances.
He becomes Crawley's first signing since Turkish businessman Ziya Eren completed his takeover of the club.
"I'd like to thank our new owners who have sanctioned the move," Reds boss Mark Yates told the club website.
"Since Rhys Murphy went back to Oldham we have been a bit short up front and the new owners have recognised this and acted straight away."

A South Florida-based tow company played an integral part in bringing the Carnival Triumph cruise ship back to port, and their chief operations officer says the mission was anything but ordinary.
"No it's not common at all," Capt. Farhat Imam, with Resolve Marine Group, told NBC 6 South Florida Thursday.
The Fort Lauderdale company deployed their Resolve Pioneer tug boat from Mobile, Alabama, earlier this week after an engine room fire disabled the ship. It was the principal tug boat that brought the ship back to shore late Thursday.
PHOTOS: Images Aboard Crippled Carnival Triumph
"The Resolve Pioneer is one of the very few emergency response vessels in America, there are not many, we just respond to emergencies," Imam said.
Imam was in constant contact with the Resolve and was monitoring its progress from the company's headquarters, where they have simulators that prepare their boat captains for uneventful journeys and worst-case scenarios.
"So that the officers on board and the management in the office can be better prepared, there are various scenarios that can be simulated for and this is a typical one," Imam said.
Passengers Cheer End of 'Horrible' Cruise
The simulator shows what it's like to guide a ship, with power, into Port Everglades. It's a skill requiring precision and expertise under perfect conditions, far from the situation aboard the Carnival Triumph.
"I am sure there will be a lot of lessons learned and we are going to definitely do a prudent and advisement and take it as a case study go deep into it and see how this can be responded better," Imam said.

A video posted to the Internet late last month shows a monkey steal a GoPro camera from a man who had just set it down so he could record himself feeding the animals.
"I was going to feed the monkeys with fruits and had the brilliant idea to shoot it with my GoPro," the individual explains in the YouTube description. "Suddenly, many monkeys start to approach and in a matter of second my camera was robbed by the little monkey."
[sharequote align="center"]"…in a matter of second my camera was robbed by the little monkey."[/sharequote]
"I was shocked when he managed to open the GoPro case and even removed the battery," he continues. "After few minutes of panic a sweet lady who works in the temple made a 'deal' with Mr. Monkey and trade my camera for some fruits. I lost the battery but got this awesome and unexpected video."
The video was tweeted out by GoPro's official account Saturday night. It had acquired just over 5,000 views on YouTube at the time of publication.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 18 (UPI) -- Comments by a Swedish train driver who told passengers not to give money to a beggar are "completely unacceptable," a spokesman for the commuter rail line said.
The driver issued the caution after a beggar got on the train and began passing out photos of purportedly ailing family members and asking for money, TheLocal.se reported Tuesday.
Witness Stefan Godin said the driver used the train's loudspeaker system to tell riders, "Whatever you do, don't give any money and tear up the paper that this person is giving you."
The driver's comments "did not feel good," Godin said.
Stockholmstag, the company that operates the train, thought the driver's comments went off the tracks.
"It's completely unacceptable to do something like this, as we have no lawful right to kick people off a train just because they're begging," said spokesman Mikael Lindskog.

Cheyenne D. Marsee is racing her way through life. Not in a bad way, but rather through competitive dragster racing. Nine-year-old Cheyenne, of Bedford, began competing in this amazing sport, in March 2017, at the Ohio Valley Drag Way, in Louisville. When asked what sparked her interest her mother explained, "We watched others while we were camping in Bowling Green at the drag strip. So Chris showed her a car for sale and we drove to Fon Du Lac, Wisconsin and bought the car."

I will be riding a skimboard. They are really easy to duck dive. I plan on boosting a 10 foot gnar air kick flip reverse. Seriously though fupafest is right one 6ft wave is different than the next. It could be big and mushy or medium sized and really steep different boards for different types of waves.

Fiber artist Yokoo and her safe space: Silence. Quiet Bike Paths. Secretive, enveloping mist. Sunrise. Water. Solitary, early morning excursion to a beautiful location. Water. Trees. A private world carved from the quietest time of day, and a home-sanctuary where she crafts beautiful artworks. Fiber artist Yokoo has created a cottage industry that is also a profoundly safe space that reflects, supports and ensconces her personality, her craft and her philosophy of life.
Silence is very important. Most of my ideas come out of complete silence. We all need to allow the silence. There is so much noise. You need to take the time to realize why you're here. You are here to create. ~Yokoo
Thank you Yokoo for sharing your process, sacred spaces, and your activities with us. The glimpse into your home studio, your philosophy, your style, and your private world inspires me. It is no wonder that your artworks are beautiful and sumptuous, as you revel in the beauty of your life, every, single, day.
It's important for people to create their own worlds…you have this world in which you live in, but I think we should create a sub-world to protect us. When the idea hits you that you are in control of your life, it's like a window opening in a stuffy room. And if I could just say anything to anybody, it would be that you are given this life to live, and not to just exist.
This "Handmade Portrait" prompted me to think deeply about my home studio, my creative practices and intermittent productivity. I found it to enriching to hear just how many hours Yokoo devotes to her craft every single day, and I admire the spartan order to her belongings. Her crochet and knit items are so plush, textural, richly colored and generously sized that I couldn't help but wonder at which brand and how much yarn she used per object (the Snow Leopard pictured above is 10 feet long and 8 inches wide!!!). This line of thought prompted me to ponder yarn the source of her yarn and the amounts she must use to create each piece, which prompted me to schedule spinning lessons to learn how to spin yarn. Months later, I now spin yarn on a Drop Spindle. Yokoo's work and Etsy's handmade portrait nudged me on the path to realize that I can make the perfect yarns for the projects I envision for my crochet and knit work.
As for Yokoo's last message to live one's life instead of simply existing, well I say in response: "I appreciate you, Yokoo, for living YOUR life to the fullest. In addition to the lovely garments and accessories that you envision and carefully craft for strangers, you present the image of a creative, self-assured woman who contributes to the beautiful tapestry of the life simply by following your bliss. That said, I add your bliss to my life list of inspirations."
thinking, feeling and growing toward my goals,

The former manager was sacked following a run of five consecutive defeats, with head coach Rene Meulensteen taking full control of the struggling first-team squad
The 49-year-old was installed as head coach at Craven Cottage on November 13, but was handed full control of first-team affairs after Fulham parted company with fellow Dutchman Martin Jol on Sunday.
Jol - who also had a spell as Tottenham boss - paid the price for a poor start to the Premier League season, including losing their last five top-flight fixtures, with the club languishing in 18th place.
|Fulham are 45/1 with Paddy Power to be losing at HT but still beat Tottenham
Ahead of his debut, Meulensteen - who served as first-team coach under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United - said he would use his experience to guide Fulham to safety, with the club looking to move away from the relegation zone.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I know what is required at the top end of the Premier League. This is a different challenge with different pressure. This is making sure you realise the need to keep three teams below you."
Striker Hugo Rodallega (groin) and Matthew Briggs (hernia) remain missing for Fulham, while Dimitar Berbatov (illness) and Brede Hangeland (leg) remain doubtful.
Tottenham have endured a frustrating start to the campaign, with a lack of goals accounting for their indifferent performances so far.
The White Hart Lane outfit have scored just 11 times in the 13 Premier League matches this campaign, with only Sunderland and Crystal Palace notching on fewer occasions.
But Andre Villas-Boas will be pleased with a spirited 2-2 performance at home to Manchester United on Sunday, a result that quickly eradicated the memory of a 6-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester City on November 24.
Tottenham occupy ninth position in the league standings, but are just three points adrift of Liverpool in fourth.
They will be looking for revenge, having lost 1-0 to Fulham at White Hart Lane the last time the sides met in the Premier League in March, with a Berbatov strike settling the game on that occasion.
Christian Eriksen and Danny Rose are both absent with ankle injuries for Tottenham, while Emmanuel Adebayor is doubtful with a groin injury.

Movie rental service company Netflix (NFLX[1]) was back in the news Tuesday, which led to a notable one-day selloff in NFLX stock that had some technical significance.
[2]This time it was a research note from Morgan Stanley that caused volatility in the stock. In the report, MS analyst Benjamin Swinburne downgraded NFLX stock to an "underweight" rating from the previous "equal weight." The analyst also lowered his price target from $333 to $310.
The analyst's base case for the downgrade was increased competition in U.S. digital video streaming. Competitors such as Hulu Plus, Amazon (AMZN[3]) Prime Instant Video and HBO GO already offer good alternatives to the Netflix service, and are expanding aggressively. According to Swinburne, each of those competitors to NFLX could end up cornering specific segments of the market, which would eat into the company's growth rate as well as lead to increasing marketing costs.
High-beta stocks like NFLX — which currently sports a beta of 2.13 — have a tendency to be highly sensitive to every bit of news, as the masses of traders and investors involved in the stock quickly get anxious, nervous or overly enthusiastic.
After it was all said and done on Tuesday, NFLX stock closed lower by 5.58% and broke an important technical line of support.
As a high-beta issue, NFLX stock has, over the years, endured plenty of major trending moves, the latest of which I marked within the black parallels on the below chart.
With Tuesday's selloff, NFLX stock broke below this uptrending channel for the first time, which also led to a drop below the rising 50-day simple moving average (yellow line) for the first time since April 2013. Tuesday's price action should be concerning for the bulls, at least for the medium term.
On the closer-up daily chart, NFLX stock — barring any quick bullish turnaround — now looks to have next better support at its 100-day SMA (blue line), which as of Tuesday's close is about 3.7% lower. The first major warning signal that Netflix investors received came Nov. 22, when the stock developed a significant intraday pop 'n' drop after earnings that led to a nasty outside day bar. Although NFLX stock again managed to regain its composure throughout December, the rally merely retested the upper end of the trading channel.
In the last days of 2013, NFLX stock again began to show weakness, which ultimately led to the trendline break on Tuesday.
Investors in NFLX stock should take this recent price action as a warning signal that more weakness likely lies ahead, while quicker traders could try the stock from the short side with price targets near $330 and $300.

In the wake of Rabhasa's average performance at box office, NTR fans are quite miffed with Telugu directors. They feel that these directors are churning out routine stories for Young Tiger promising that screenplay will be novel, but both are failing big time. Fans have now kept their demands before director of Tarak's next flick, Puri Jagan.
Cases of Ramayya Vastavayya and Rabhasa are two good examples as to how hit-directors have tricked NTR into believing routine stories, thereby delivering below average grosser. Colossal failures of these flicks moved fans as they now demand Puri Jagan to focus on content a lot rather relying solely on NTR's stardom and image. Puri is famous for his racy screenplay but often cooks simple content without big logics, vast backdrop and engaging confrontations.
'Stardom fetches opening day collections, but second day figures will depend on content's appeal only. Heavy plot, bewildering screenplay and mass dialogues doesn't save a Jr NTR flick. Novel story, well crafted scenes, few logics and innovating dances are key essentials', say some fans. Hope Puri Jagan is getting gist of fans' demands.

First let me say I will continue to watch this show because I am hooked on the genre of reality TV.
This show is just not good. The editing is choppy. We are not able to see the problems they are having with food preparation and where things are going awry or how the labor is divided. Most of these meals are prepped ahead and their job is to do the final step. I would like to see how they are failing and the menu. Instead we see kidney stones and food hurled in the trash.
No restaurant experiences an entire dining room seated at the same time, so having some wait 2 hours for dinner is believable in the best of circumstances. Most kitchens hate large parties because it puts a strain on the kitchen in normal conditions.
They show us very little of the contestants and their relationship with each other. OK, so maybe that is not the point but caring about them is part of what creates interest.
Though Ramsey showed a softer side at dinner with the red team he is basically one dimentional. An entire season of him screaming and bleeping is going to get old fast.
One has to leave logic at the door for most reality TV but this show asks way too much of us.

The principles disclosed herein relate to cable systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to storage and deployment of cables.
Passive optical networks are becoming prevalent in part because service providers want to deliver high bandwidth communication capabilities to customers. Passive optical networks are a desirable choice for delivering high speed communication data because they may not employ active electronic devices, such as amplifiers and repeaters, between a central office and a subscriber termination. The absence of active electronic devices may decrease network complexity and/or cost and may increase network reliability.
The portion of network 100 that is closest to central office 110 is generally referred to as the F1 region, where F1 is the "feeder fiber" from the central office. The F1 portion of the network may include a distribution cable having on the order of 12 to 48 fibers; however, alternative implementations can include fewer or more fibers. The portion of network 100 that includes an FDH 130 and a number of end users 115 can be referred to as an F2 portion of network 100. The network 100 includes a plurality of break-out locations 125 at which branch cables are separated out from main cable lines. Branch cables are often connected to drop terminals 104 that include connector interfaces for facilitating coupling the fibers of the branch cables to a plurality of different subscriber locations.
Deployment, otherwise known as payout, of telecommunications cable lines can be performed in a variety of ways. One prior method includes winding the telecommunications cable around a cylindrical spool, placing a rod through the center of the spool, transporting the spool to a deployment site, and unwinding the telecommunications cable by pulling the cable end located on the outside of the spool. Typically, the inside (radially inward) end of the wound cable is fixed in relation to spool rotation and cannot be accessed until the cable has been unwound.
One disadvantage to such a method is that only one end of the telecommunications cable is accessible when the spool is wound. In some cases, the cables are connectorized at one end and unconnectorized at the opposite end. For example, with reference to fiber optic cables, the connectorized end is useful for optically coupling the fibers of the cable to other connectorized fibers and the unconnectorized end is useful for splicing the fibers of the cable to another cable, such as a stub cable. Using the method described above, a technician cannot choose which end of the cable would be most beneficial to access first.
There exists a need in the art for better telecommunications cable storage and deployment systems and methods.
Certain aspects of the disclosure relate to the storage and deployment of telecommunications cables.
A variety of additional inventive aspects will be set forth in the description that follows. The inventive aspects can relate to individual features and to combinations of features. It is to be understood that both the forgoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the broad inventive concepts upon which the embodiments disclosed herein are based.
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to the storage and deployment of telecommunications cables, such as fiber optic cables and copper cables. Referring to the figures in general, a telecommunications cable 210 extends from a first end 212 to a second end 214. The cable 210 can range in length from about 300 feet to about 3000 feet or more. The payout arrangements disclosed herein enable either end 212, 214 of the telecommunications cable 210 to be accessed at the option of the user.
In some embodiments, one end 212, 214 of the cable 210 can be terminated at a connector, such as a fiber optic connector, or at telecommunications equipment, such as a drop terminal. Details regarding an example drop terminal can be found in copending application Ser. No. 11/075,847, filed Mar. 8, 2005, and titled "FIBER ACCESS TERMINAL," the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. The opposite end 212, 214 can be connectorized or unconnectorized. In other embodiments, either both ends can be connectorized or both ends can be unconnectorized.
Referring to
In certain embodiments, the base 310 defines a through opening 315 configured to receive a rod (not shown) to enable the base 310 to rotate about an axis RB. Typically, the through opening 315 is located in the center of the base 310. In other embodiments, however, the base 310 is not configured to rotate. In such embodiments, the back surface 304 of the base 310 can be laid on a surface during deployment. In one such embodiment, the base 310 can be anchored to a surface by a fastener inserted through the opening 315.
A first spool member 320 and a second spool member 330 are rotatably mounted on the front surface 302 of the base 310. In certain embodiments, the spools 320, 330 are mounted on opposite sides of the opening 315. Each spool member 320, 330 is configured to rotate about a central axis C1, C2, respectively. In the example shown, the spool members 320, 330 are generally cylindrical. However, spool members of different shapes can also be used.
In certain embodiments, each spool member 320, 330 includes a middle portion 326, 336, respectively, extending between a first end portion 322, 332, respectively, and a second end portion 324, 334, respectively. In other embodiments, however, the middle portions 326, 336 may extend directly from the base 310. Generally, the middle sections 326, 336 have diameters D1, D2, respectively, ranging from about 1.5 feet to about 6 feet. The second ends 324, 334 are generally sized to retain the telecommunications cable 210 wound onto the middle portions 326, 336.
In use, a user grasps one of the ends 212, 214 of the cable 210 and pulls in a direction away from the payout arrangement 300 to deploy the cable 220 at an installation site. Because both ends 212, 214 are accessible to the user (i.e., one end 212, 214 extends from each spool 320, 330), the user can choose which end 212, 214 to pull based on where and how the cable 210 is being installed. In either cable arrangement 250 or cable arrangement 260, pulling on one of the ends 212, 214 entrains the spools 320, 330 to spin, enabling the length of telecommunications cable 210 to unwind from the payout arrangement 300.
When a sufficient amount of cable 210 has been unwound, the cable 210 can be connected (e.g., optically, electrically, etc.) to a telecommunications network (e.g., see
Referring now to
The container 410 includes opposing side panels 402, 404 and opposing ends panels 406, 408 extending between the side panels 402, 404. The side panels 402, 404 and end panels 406, 408 define an interior 415 (
The bottom side 403 of the container 410 is generally a mirror-image of the top side 401. The bottom side 403 includes cover panels 417 hingedly coupled to the side panels 402, 404 and tab panels (not shown) hingedly coupled to the end panels 406, 408 of the container 410. By first flipping the container 410 upside-down, the cover panels 417 and tab panels can be pivoted between an open position (not shown) in which the interior 415 can be accessed through the bottom side 403 of the container 410 and a closed position (
In general, the interior 415 is configured to retain a telecommunications cable 210 wound in one of multiple cable arrangements. In the example shown in
This arrangement 270 differs from the cable arrangement 260 shown in
In certain embodiments, the interior 415 is configured to hold first and second guides 420, 430 (
In some embodiments, the first and second guides 420, 430 are generally cylindrical. In other embodiments, however, the guides 420, 430 can be any desired shape. The guides 420, 430 can be fixedly mounted within the container 410. For example, in one embodiment, adhesive can be applied to either side of the guides 420, 430 to affix the guides 420, 430 to the tab panels 413 on either side 401, 403 of the container 410. Typically, the adhesive has sufficient strength to enable a user to pull the tab panels 413 on one side 401, 403 away from the guides 420, 430 and into an open position (
In some embodiments, the container 410 also includes one or more outer guides 440. In a preferred embodiment, the container 410 holds an outer guide 442, 444, 446, 448 in each corner, respectively, of the container 410. The outer guides 440 facilitate routing and inhibit tangling of the cable 210. The outer guides 440 can also aid in maintaining the shape of the cable arrangement into which the cable 210 is arranged. In some embodiments, the outer guides 440 include foam inserts. In other embodiments, however, the outer guides 440 can be formed from any desired material or monolithically formed with the container 410.
Referring to
In the deployment position, the tab panels are positioned at an angle between the cover panels and the rest of the container 410. The cover panels and the tab panels are coupled together to form a generally funnel-shaped opening through which the cable 210 can pass. In some embodiments, the cover panels and the tab panels can be interlocked together. For example, as shown in
When configured in the deployment position, the cover panels are angled between the open position and the closed position to form a slit through which the interior 415 of the container 410 can be accessed (e.g., see
The desired end 212, 214 of the cable 210 can be pulled out of the container 410 through the slot along a pull direction P1 after the container 410 has been arranged in the deployment position (e.g., see
Referring now to
In certain embodiments, at least one spacer 520 is removably coupled to the spool 510. In the example shown, four spacers 520 are coupled to the spool 510 at equidistant points. Each spacer 520 has an extension member 522 and a coupling member 524. Typically, the coupling member 524 mounts to the end 514 of the spool 510. For example, the coupling member 524 can mount to the end 514 using fasteners, such as screws. In other embodiments, however, the coupling member 524 can be secured to the spool 510 by any desired attachment techniques or by the telecommunications cable 210 itself.
The extension member 522 protrudes longitudinally along the spool 510 from the coupling member 524 (e.g., see
The middle section 516 of the spool 510 has a diameter D1 (
In use, the spacers 520 can be removed from the spool 510 to enable the cable 210 to be unwound from either end 212, 214. After the spacers 520 have been removed, the coil 225 retains the inner diameter D2 that is greater than the diameter D1 of the spool 510. The inner end 212, 214 of the cable 210 is accessible by reaching into the center of the coil 225, and grabbing and pulling the end 212, 214 out from the coil 225. The outer end 212, 214 is accessible from the outside of the coil 225. In certain embodiments, the spool 510 spins when either of the two ends 212, 214 of the cable 210 is pulled.
Referring to
In certain embodiments, the housing 540 is configured to pivot from a closed position (
In general, the interior 545 includes a ring of space in which the cable 210 can be located when coiled around the spool 510 and/or spacers 520. In some embodiments, the interior 545 is sufficiently large to accommodate one or more connectors or connector terminals at one of the ends 212, 214 of the cable 210 (e.g., see
In some embodiments, the front panel 542 of the housing 540 defines one or more openings 541 through which one end 212, 214 of the cable 210 can be inserted. In a preferred embodiment, at least two openings 541 are spaced approximately equidistant apart along the front panel 542. Sliding one end 212, 214 of the cable 210 through the hole 541 facilitates locating the end 212, 214 during deployment and inhibits unwinding of the coil 225 during storage or shipping of the payout arrangement 500 to the installation site.
From the forgoing detailed description, it will be evident that modifications and variations can be made in the devices of the disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. For example, while some of the embodiments described above have been discussed in terms of fiber optic cable systems, persons having skill in the art will note the teachings of this disclosure are equally applicable to copper or other types of telecommunications cable systems.

Question Asked: Power lock problem
December 17, 2009, 09:51 AM
A few months ago, my power locks started giving me trouble. The remote will unlock the driver's side door only. Similarly, the driver's side lock switch will unlock the drivers side door, but aside from that, all the doors have to be manually locked and unlocked. I have checked the fuse, it is fine, and I have replaced the battery in the remote. Any suggestions?

Tens of millions of French voters turned out on Sunday for the first round of a presidential poll that is expected to see the left oust Nicolas Sarkozy after only one turbulent term in office.
The left has not won a presidential election in a quarter of a century, but with France mired in low growth and rising joblessness, opinion polls predict Socialist challenger Francois Hollande will beat the right-wing incumbent.
Turnout at 5:00pm (1600 BST), with three hours of voting to go, was strong at almost 71 per cent, belying fears that a low-key campaign would be capped by mass abstentions in the vote itself.
Polling organisation IFOP predicted an overall turnout of 80 per cent.
Sunday's poll will whittle down the field from 10 to two and Mr Hollande and Mr Sarkozy are expected to face each other in the May 6 run-off to decide who runs France, a nuclear-armed power and Europe's second largest economy.
Mr Hollande says Mr Sarkozy has trapped France in a downward spiral of austerity and job losses, while Sarkozy says his rival is inexperienced and weak-willed and would spark financial panic through reckless spending pledges.
The eurozone debt crisis and France's sluggish growth and high unemployment have hung over the campaign, with Mr Sarkozy struggling to defend his record and Mr Hollande unable to credibly promise spending increases.
"I have never missed a vote, but this time I feel little enthusiasm for the election," said 62-year-old retired high schoolteacher Isabelle Provost as she emerged into bright Paris sunshine after casting her ballot.
"Economically there is little difference between the two main candidates," she said, echoing the sentiment of many other voters of the right and the left.
If, as expected, Mr Sarkozy polls second, he will be the only incumbent French president to lose a first round-vote in the history of the Fifth Republic, which came into being in 1958.
Mr Hollande voted in his stronghold, the country town of Tulle in the central Correze region, where he is the local member of parliament and heads the regional council. He was warmly greeted by officials and voters alike.
"I am attentive, engaged, but first of all respectful," he said. "The day ahead will be a long one, this is an important moment."
Mr Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni cast their ballots in Paris' plush 16th district, a stronghold of his right-wing UMP party.
Mr Hollande was to make a speech in Tulle minutes after polls close and official results estimates are announced on the prime-time 8:00pm television news, while Mr Sarkozy was to speak in Paris at around 9:00pm.
French polling agencies are permitted to take samples directly from ballot boxes, so accurate voting estimates are made public immediately polls close.
Web-users took to Twitter using the "#RadioLondres" hashtag along with elaborate and witty code words to forecast results without breaking France's strict laws banning such predictions until polling stations close.
Ten candidates were in the race – Mr Hollande and Mr Sarkozy being trailed by far-right flag-bearer Marine Le Pen, hard-left firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon, veteran centrist Francois Bayrou and a handful of outsiders.
For the first time, five candidates are expected to take more than 10 per cent of votes, a sign of how the two lead candidates have failed to energise the race.
An average of the last eight polls released ahead of the end of the first round campaign at midnight on Friday showed Mr Hollande winning the first round with an average of 28 per cent support, against 26.4 per cent for Mr Sarkozy.
Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen was forecast to poll third with 15.75 per cent, followed by Communist-backed Jean-Luc Melenchon of the Left Front with 13.75 per cent and centrist Francois Bayrou with 10.1 per cent.
Opinion polls and campaigning were banned from midnight on Friday, and will resume on Monday in the build-up to the May 6 run-off, which Mr Hollande is predicted to win by around 55 per cent to 45.
Once the first round is out of the way, Mr Sarkozy and Mr Hollande face a two-week scramble for the line, including a head-to-head televised debate that could be the incumbent's last chance to change his fortunes.
Privately, Mr Sarkozy's top supporters have begun to admit that if Sarkozy fails to regain the momentum and slip ahead of Hollande on Sunday, he will have too much ground left to make up before the May 6 showdown.

What are Schools Teaching About the Second Amendment?
Apparently a school in Connecticut is teaching middle school students that Americans don't have an individual right to bear arms under the Second Amendment.
Steven Boibeaux, whose son is an eighth grader at Northeast Middle School, says teachers are trying "to indoctrinate our kids."
I'll let you decide for yourself. The full worksheet assigned to the social studies class is reprinted below.

Former Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford will headline the 2003 Metal Gods Tour, a multi-band package featuring the headliner's quintet Halford, co-headliners Testament, Immortal, Symphony X, Dark Tranquility, Amon Amarth, Carnal Forge and more. The 2003 Metal Gods Tour is set to kick off April 25 in Chicago, and will wrap up on the West Coast by mid-June. This will be Halford's first full-length tour of North America in nearly three years.
"The tour is quite remarkable," Halford said. "Over the last decade, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal have fragmented into all these unique sub-genres, so we felt it would be ideal to put some of the best Metal bands from the various genres together on the road. Today's Gods of Metal, if you will."
The Metal Gods Tour will feature U.S. Bay Area Thrash Metal kings Testament and New York-based Progressive Metal act Symphony X. Halford often has professed his affinity for bands of a darker nature, so the inclusion of Black and Death Metal bands were an obvious way to round out a lineup.
"It will be enjoyable to watch Metal fans of all types mix together with their enormous enthusiasm," Halford said. "Often fans of Death and Black Metal bands won't go see some of the other acts co-headlining The Metal Gods and vice versa. We're accomplishing a lot together. I'm certain the bands are going to enjoy themselves as we roll around the U.S. and Canada, so the fans are certainly going to experience the best each act has to give. When done, the tour will be remembered as something rare."
Epic Records is set to release Howie Day's "Madrigals" EP April 29. The EP features a five-song CD that includes new demo versions of "Madrigals" and "You & A Promise," a remix of Howie's first single "Ghost," and exclusive live tracks of "Bunnies" and "Sorry So Sorry." The "Madrigals" EP bonus DVD has more than 30 minutes of live performance footage and features those same fan favorites from Howie Day's Dec. 4, 2002, at the New York City Bowery Ballroom show.
The Madrigals EP is the follow-up to Howie's debut, "Australia," and precursor to Day's highly anticipated sophomore release. Before Day heads to London this spring to work with producer Youth (Crowded House, Dido, the Verve), he will appear on NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly" and have an April one-hour "Music Choice" special. Look for Day's new video "Sorry So Sorry" on MTV's "120 Minutes" and Much Music's "Oven Fresh."
This week marks the 65th anniversary of the first recording of a song written by Carl Sigman. Sigman, who died at the age of 91 in 2000, composed such significant songs as "Ebb Tide," "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story," "It's All In The Game," "What Now My Love," "Buona Sera," "Arrivederci Roma," and "Answer Me, My Love." He also was a charter inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The song that started it all was "Just Remember," recorded by Australian Brian Lawrance and his Lansdown Orchestra on March 22, 1938, and released thereafter in England on Rex Records. The song was a collaboration with Johnny Mercer, who was Sigman's mentor. The two lived in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood in New York at the time and often spoke of their aspirations over steaming bowls of kreplach that Carl's mother prepared for her son and his friend.
Mercer, for whom Sigman provided melodies, liked his tunes but suggested his friend concentrate on lyrics. Mercer told him "a band has 15 musicians who can write tunes (versus) one person who can write a lyric."
This past year has seen a concerted effort to bring Sigman's catalog into the limelight through the activities of the family owned Major Songs (ASCAP), the company that owns most of the Sigman copyrights. Under the direction of Carl's eldest son Michael Sigman, former editor of Record World and publisher of The L.A. Weekly, the company entered into a domestic administration deal with Bug Music and has signed with 18 sub-publishers around the world. A fully annotated 74 track, three-CD boxed set of significant recordings of Sigman's songs -- by such artists as Frank Sinatra (who recorded 12 different Sigman compositions during the course of his career), Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Nat King Cole, Sonny and Cher, Aretha Franklin, Rosemary Clooney, Mel Torme, Glenn Miller, Sarah Vaughn, Louis Armstrong, The Righteous Brothers, Louis Prima, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Linda Ronstadt, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Four Tops, Ray Conniff, Merle Haggard, Tony Bennett and many others -- has been made available to commercial, film and TV music supervisors and producers through Major Songs' current initiative.
Beat poet, cartoonist and Fugs founder Tuli Kupferberg is putting together a new songbook project that is open to public contributions.
"For the fifth edition of my infamous songbook, 'Listen to the Mockingbird,' I am now seeking contributions from others besides my egomaniacal self," Kupferberg said. "I want 'Parasongs' on any subject."
A parasong is a song using new and original lyrics set to an older -- generally a popular -- melody. Martin Luther set many of his religious hymns to the popular songs of that period. Parasongs tend to be parodic and/or humorous but need not be and do not have to follow the original lyrics at all. Send lyrics to: firstname.lastname@example.com or snailmail them to: Tuli Kupferberg 160 6th Ave. New York, NY 10013.
Baltimore's Dog Fashion Disco is set to release its second effort, "Committed to a Bright Future," May 6 coupled with a full U.S. headline tour with TubRing, LUXT and Dirt.
"I couldn't be more proud of our new album," said vocalist Todd Smith. "I believe it shows how we are capable of playing many different styles and how we have grown as musicians."
As unpredictable as the names implies, Dog Fashion Disco melds together elements of heavy metal with flutes, saxophones and trumpets.
"We are out to change the landscape of heavy music as people know it," Smith said. "I believe people are tired of bands all sounding the same and not taking chances to push the envelope and expand musical expression. I am very excited about the upcoming headlining tour. Our fans will finally see us play a longer set of our new material and experience our full live show. Our fans can expect a full projection movie playing behind us. This film will feature amputees, clowns, car crashes, cartoons, and other vomit-inducing imagery. I will be in my prettiest dress looking somewhat like Marilyn Monroe meets Gene Simmons."
Dog Fashion Disco's first album, "Anarchists of Good Taste," was released in 2001 through Spitfire Records.

Has Remlin gotten any better lately?
Seriously looking into getting my first rifle soon. Trying to hold off since it would be tough on the wallet but it's getting hard to resist. Just one, nothing too expensive (I'm sure everyone here keeps lying to themselves about that )
It will be a simple plinker to go to the range with once in a while. No hunting (not really an interest to me though I might try it once just so I can say I did)
The Marlin 336 in 30-30 keeps calling to me. However all the horror stories I keep reading about the new Remington-made Marlins is getting me seriously worried. I mean I'm a handy kinda guy, a rough action or some other minor problem is nothing I can't fix over a weekend. But there are things floating around about crooked barrels, misaligned sights, cracked and unfinished wood.
So has Remington-Marlin fixed their issues yet or are they still churning out junkers? I imagine that there would be some problems with the guns after you go through the whole issue of moving an entire factory and hiring a new workforce. But it's been what, four years now? I would hope these things have been dealt with by now.
I really want my first gun to be "new". But with some of these problems it seems the new Marlins may as well have been on this earth for 40 long years in the hands of someone who used them as baseball bats.
So would a newly manufactured (like, this year) Marlin be a safe choice if I make sure to look it over before purchase or should I just go with an older JM marked rifle? I was at a Cabellas today and they had a decent selection of used Marlins ranging from $300-$400. All of them seemed to be in good shape. But still something in me just wants a "new" gun.

I don't know why everyone disses Remington so much. I bought a new 700 SPS Buckmasters .270 Win last summer and it's well made, the new trigger works great, it's a tackhammer, and I'd buy another.
The Marlin is a whole different design and I can't believe the company that owns Remington would change the design and risk disaster. Why would Remington (manufacturing and engineering) have anything to do with changing anything on this rifle?
BUT... I've heard that (for some reason) they are not made well anymore. If not, blame the company that owns them, not Remington.
Marlins are also made in NC. Not the Remington plant.

If you really like the Marlin in 30-30 and are concerned aboout recent production, there are plenty of excellent condition used ones in the gun shops and pawn shops.
I have seen in the used gun racks dozens of used, older Marlins that appear to be NIB examples, not a mark on them and literally no signs of being fired at all.
On the other hand I would not hesitate to buy a new Marlin 336. Just look it over closely, make sure everything looks correct, no uneven gaps anywhere and the lever cycles smoothly.

Yea I had visited MarlinOwners.com and checked out a thread asking people opinions on the newest made Marlins. Specifically all opinions, not just bad ones as is normal in their rants forum. And most people seemed to be pretty pleased with the newest (probably in the last year) production Marlins. The 336 seems to have less problems than some of the other models.
So I guess as long as I check the gun over before buying, I should be OK.
Though i may have to stick to a good used one. A NIB Marlin is still kinda pushing my budget. $350ish for a lightly used JM seems like a much nicer price. Especially taking into account some ammo, a set of peep sights and a decent sling.
Thank you for the replies guys.

The Marlin is worth its weight in gold.
I have easily dropped 4 lifetimes of yearly income on my collection, and this Marlin ALWAYS feels great in my hands.
For an equiv. numerical value you can pickup the FIRST Savage Avis in .308 , which makes a pretty awesome range gun.

Don't buy anything from Remlin. Buy from Wugah or Mosbog.

Now if they would make the "D" model again they'd sell barrels of them. I'd take a chance on one of those. They have to be the slickest little companion rifle ever!

From what I understand from people that know, much of the tooling that Marlin had was pretty much shot and Remington had to start from scratch using OLD plans and specs. A lot of the Marlins were made by people who just made parts as they went along, nothing wrong with that except if someone has to follow you, like Remington.
The new ones I have looked at are much better built than some just a few years ago. This not to say that the new ones are better than Marlins of say 10-15 years ago, but the new ones have a solid feel to them that some of more recent ones lacked. Just my opnion and ask my wife what that is really worth-----LOL

Unsure of the 336 but I have a 2 year old xl7 in .270 and a 6 year old 981T .22lr and both are fine accurate rifles. The trigger on the xl7 is amazing.

If you want something accurate, good looking, well made, accurate, and good value check out the Savage bolt actions. Make sure it is a 'newer' model with the accu-trigger.

I got my eye ona few other guns but they are all abit out of my price range at the moment. Ithaca 37, Saiga-12 (converted ofcourse), Romy G build with some mods, Mini-14, or a Century C93.
So many guns to buy, so little money.

We got a new 336C in April of this year. It's a "remlin". It is my wifes gun. She wanted something suitable for deer and hogs, and she always wanted a lever gun.
We haven't taken any game with it, just punced a lot of paper. We have put about 100 rounds down range so far, no feed problems, no extraction problems, accurracy is fine. Fit-n-finish is not quite as good as my weatherby, but hey, for a $500 rifle, it is pretty good. I shot a 336 back in the 1980's, and this new one seems indistinguishable.

I forgot to say earlier, it ain't a bad idea to grab an old one...
Marlin 336 sells from $200-400 in pawn shops depending on condition...
Had recently finished a crib and decided the empty box would be a good background...
this 1952 Marlin 336RC in .30-30 makes TINY little groups...Happy Rifle!!

A gun should be a tool in the hands of a deadly weapon, not a deadly weapon in the hands of a tool.

i bought a remington made 308mx marlin last year .it not only functions correctly,it shots the daylights out of anything i have owned.three shot groups are average quarter size at 100 yards.fit and finish are great for a production run gun,the only downer i have is the trigger is heavy,but i am looking at lightening that up.i say if you want a marlin dont be the least bit afraig to get one.

I recently pillar-bedded a friend's relatively new wood-stocked, Rem 700 BDL, .223 and tried it with a few reloads tailored for my Tikka yesterday.
At 100 yards in a swirly wind, it shot a 3-shot, 3/8" group and two shots in 1/16". I'd say the barrel quality is excellent. Workmanship otherwise appeared very good also.
My load of 25 grains of Accurate 2230, 50 grain Hornady SX, Federal primers and Rem cases is the most accurate I've found for my Tikka 595. OAL is 2.260".

Marlin has serious quality control issues long before Remington bought that company.

If it doesn't have any QC problems it's a Marlington, if it has poor workmanship it's a remlin.
I was weary about Marlin quality but I took a forum members advice and bought an1895 GBL a couple of months ago for $539 at Dicks. I love the rifle but there are a cuople of minor is3sues like the stock fit and a crooked reciever screw that didn't want to come out. Marlin offered to fix it right away but I'm not OCD and I'm having too much fun shooting it a Theissues weren't a big deal to begin with, but some people demand perfection and that's fine. The rifle is very accurate for a lever and I've grown quite fond of it and the 45-70 round. It's lots of fun and to shoot and reload for.

Here is one to try. Over the last few years I have begun competing and have thus really tried to improve my deer ears. I have tried just about every method available and this is the best that I have found. I use this on all my commercial and competition mounts for high quality.
I cape the deer as usual but when I remove the ear from the deer I cut it very close to the skull. When turning ears I keep the back of the ear in tact. Only have about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch hole in back of ear. I remove all meat and turn ear completely. I then salt and sent to be tanned. I always use wet tan process.
When I am ready to mount I remove the cartlage but leave about 1 1/2 inches attached to the hide. This will get tucked into the commercial ear cartlage and give you all the detail you need naturally. I then trim my earliner to proper size. I use MacKenzie Natural Look liners. I clean the ear with laquer thinner and let dry. Next I submerge my earliner in lacquer thinner for one minute. Then tumble in fine sand. The sand embeds into the ear liner and provides more surface area for my adhesive. You can then mount the ears but I have found if you let them dry overnight they become more rigid.
I have used a lot of adhesives over the years. The best for this process that I have found is Bondo. I mix it up, spread it over the liner and slip into the ear. You have about ten minutes to work the ear. I make sure to have a little extra skin on the inside of the ear. This process has virtually eliminated my ear problems. NO drumming and a top quality ear. After mounted I card the edges for a few days with 1/8 inch wire mesh and paper clips.
Give this a try and tell me what you think. I like this method. Adds a little time, but I think it is worth it.

I had to spoil your explanation, but BONDO is not an adhesive. Bondo is a thixotropic FILLER and if it quacks and has webbed feet, calling it anything but a duck won't change the facts. Bondo is indespensible around a taxidermy shop for a zillion things. Bonding ears to earliners ain't one of them.
Using your method, you could skip the lacquer thinner and tumbler mix if you took a hole punch and randomly punched holes in the liner. This is the way we were taught when plastic earliners first came out.
Get some 5 minute epoxy. Prefit the earliner, dump about 8cc's of mixed epoxy in the ear, insert the liner, and squeeze out the bubbles. In a snap, the ear will BOND PERMANENTLY with an untreated plastic earliner. (If you mess up with Bondo, you can pull the whole thing right out and do it over. If you screw up my method, you can order a new cape.)

I've tried quite a FEW methods for the ear-liner-bonding-with-no-drumming-syndrome, and I have to say that the 2 part epoxy method George has SO OFTEN spoken of is truely the way to go (for me anyways). It's a permanent thing and it keeps the ear at the right thinness rather than having the over plump ear that bondo gave me.
Okay George...here we go...

What kind of two part epoxy works best for this ? What the set time ?
