Home values are on the rise, as they are for many cities on this list. The value of homes in Philadelphia is $107,000, according to Zillow, a very reasonable sum for new graduates or others looking to keep costs down.

I am so excited to show you this cactus and llama party today. It all started with my free design of the cactus cupcake toppers over on Silhouette this week. I couldn't just leave it as a single cactus design. I don't know why, but it drove me crazy. So I worked some crazy hours designing a full party this week. I'm so glad I did! The colors and llamas make this the happiest party I've ever done. How can you not smile when you see llamas?
Cupcake Toppers
Look how cute the cupcakes are placed in terra cotta pots. It's those small details that go a long way in a party. These would also be great gifts for a friend when someone needs a little pick-me-up or when they just needs a sweet treat. :)
These cactus cupcake toppers are free as part of my artist feature with Silhouette this week. If you haven't already grabbed it, make sure you do before it ends tomorrow.
How to Make Cactus Cupcakes
- Pipe some vanilla frosting on top of your cupcakes.
- Add gold sprinkles to the top.
- Cut out the cactus cupcake toppers and insert in the top.
- Fill the bottom of your terra cotta pots with some paper to keep the cupcake from falling to the bottom where you won't be able to see the top.
- Place cupcakes in pots.
Llama Prints
I love the texture and color the basket full of yarn brings to the whole party set up. I added a framed llama print to tie it in with the rest of the table. To make the 5×7 print, I used this pink and teal llama and just added a rectangle behind it. Using the eyedropper tool in Silhouette Studio, you can select and give it the same background color. I think I'll keep this frame up in my house. Every time my daughter sees the llamas she gets the giggles. Having it out for everyone to see and hearing her laugh sounds like a good idea.
Llama Tags
You can easily dress up any drink you are serving with these llama tags. These would also be so cute on party favors or used as gift tags. I made cactus tags also that would look so great mixed in if you had a variety of colored drinks, or even bottles of red or orange soda.
Tassel and Llama Garlands
My original idea was to make a bunch of yarn tassels and string them up for the garland. The laziness in me won (no surprise there) and there was no way I was going to make that many. I drew some tassels and cut them out with the Silhouette CAMEO. This was sooooo much faster! I just used a little adhesive on the inside and then folded it over the twine. I love the simplicity of it, yet it adds so much color and looks great next to the llama banner.
The detail of the pom poms around each llama makes this banner so much fun. The banner was assembled the same way as the tassel garland. There is a flap at the top that folds over along the perforated line to run your twine through before you glue the flap down.
All of my designs are 25% off in the Silhouette store through tomorrow. Head over and stock up on all the party designs while the sale is on. Don't forget to download the free cactus cupcake topper while you're there.

(SAN DIEGO) — Almost two dozen teenagers had to be rescued from the water off a San Diego shore after nearly drowning.
The students were members of a swim team that were visiting the San Diego coast to compete in a long-distance swim as part of their annual beach swim training, officials said Tuesday.
That's when a few began to panic in the rough conditions.
"A couple of them started to panic which triggered other ones to get a little bit scared and it just snowballed into a mass rescue," said Sgt. Ed Harris with the San Diego Lifeguards.
Officials said lifeguards on surfboards, jet skis and boats plucked 22 students out of the water, some in shock and suffering from hypothermia. One unconscious 16-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital.
Authorities said the windy and cold conditions were too much for the teens.
"We wouldn't advise a group this big to go in with the conditions we were experiencing," said San Diego Lifeguard Lt. John Sandmeyer. "You can be the strongest swimmer in a pool and not be used to chop in your face, not to be used to the cold water when you go from 76-degree pool to 59-degree ocean."
The school district said the students and coaches met with lifeguards before the swim. The lifeguards said they recommended the students postpone the swim, but were told by the coaches that the students could handle it.
"Hopefully it's a life lesson that helps them down the road," said Harris.

Go to www.fedloan. I just consalidated all of my many loans into one monthly payment owed to the Department of Education. They pay off your loans to all the different lenders and then you pay the DOE one monthly payment. The process was quick and fairly easy. I even qualified for a "pay as you earn" option. Right now my monthly minimum payment is $0, but I still pay at least $100/mo. You will have to requalify yearly for such a program, but it's worth the minimum hassle. The above answer also has a lot of good suggestions. Speak to the financial aid office, and definitely consider deferrment and forbearance options to help alleviate some of the pressure.

Consult with financial aid office.
The financial aid office will have the contact information if you don't already have it. Depending on your situation, you may be able to get a forebearance or a deferment, both of which will delay payment. But it will not be a "when I can" situation unless the income is too low right now. You certainly want to get student loans paid off as quickly as possible because they do not go away until they are paid.

I second knk103's response. Be careful of private refinancing offers for federal loans: you lose a lot of the flexibility in repayment and forbarence offered with government loans.

Story highlights
- Ted Cruz has opened up a 10-point lead against Donald Trump in Iowa
- For Cruz, the poll represents a 21-point jump from a survey conducted by the two outlets in October
Watch CNN's coverage of the fifth Republican presidential debate live from Las Vegas on Tuesday, December 15. Coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET.
The Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics poll released on Saturday finds Cruz commanding 31% of likely Republican caucus-goers in the state, 10 points ahead of Trump, who received 21%.
For Cruz, the poll represents a massive 21-point jump from a survey conducted by the two outlets in October.
Cruz and Trump will face off Tuesday in Las Vegas at the next Republican presidential debate, sponsored by CNN.
"We have more work to do, but we can definitively say the message is working," Cruz's Iowa state director, Bryan English, told CNN in a statement.
The results are the most tangible sign yet that Cruz's strategy in Iowa — heavily dependent on winning over pastors and their evangelical congregations — is succeeding. For months, Cruz labored behind the scenes, courting and organizing influential faith leaders as he slowly worked to peel off the born-again believers of candidates like Ben Carson.
On Thursday — after the poll was fielded — the Texas senator won his biggest Christian booster yet: Bob Vander Plaats, who has endorsed the last two Iowa winners.
Ben Carson dropped to third place with 13%. Marco Rubio has 10%, which puts him in fourth place — the same spot he held in October. Jeb Bush has 6% — a 1% increase from two months ago.
Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee and Chris Christie are tied with 3%. The rest of the field, including Carly Fiorina and John Kasich, is at 2% or less.
The poll of 400 likely Republican caucus-goers was conducted between December 7 and 10, after Trump called for a ban on allowing Muslim immigrants into the U.S. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
Trump has often derided the Des Moines Register, Iowa's largest newspaper, as biased against him. He blasted the poll in a tweet Saturday night, though he appears to have mistakenly said the paper was biased "towards" him instead of against his candidacy.
"New CNN Iowa poll — Trump 33, Cruz 20. Everyone else way down! Don't trust Des Moines Register poll – biased towards Trump!" he tweeted.
A CNN/ORC poll released on Monday found that the real estate mogul had 33% support among likely GOP caucus-goers in Iowa, followed by Cruz at 20%. Nationally, a CNN/ORC poll released earlier this month found the brash billionaire sitting atop the GOP field with 36%, 20 points ahead of Cruz, the GOP's runner-up.
High expectations
Cruz now will have to contend with expectations that, for months, he has sought to carefully manage. Drawing a contrast with less well-resourced candidates, Cruz often told reporters that he did not view Iowa as a "must win," stressing that he could run a nationally-focused campaign.
Given his standing 50 days before the caucuses, that's a harder argument to make.
But much can change during the next seven weeks, for better or for worse. Cruz and his allies have so far spent very little money on advertising in Iowa, raising the prospect that his numbers could rise even more. Yet his opponents, for the most part, are only beginning to target him, attacks that when launched will make it difficult for Cruz to maintain his field-high favorability ratings — 73% favorable, in this survey — as voting draws closer.
A historic surge
In a story accompanying the poll results, the Register said no one had made Cruz's 21-point leap in five previous caucus cycles.
In the 2012 race, Mitt Romney, the GOP's eventual nominee, jumped eight points from 16% to 24% in the final poll before the vote. That came at the expense of Newt Gingrich, who plunged 13 points (25% to 12%) in the same survey.
In 2008, Mike Huckabee — who would go on to capture the caucuses that year — zoomed 17 points between October and November. In 2004, John Edwards also completed a 17-point leap in the final poll before the Democratic caucuses, while John Kerry rose 10 points, 15% to 25%. Kerry ended up defeating Edwards by 6 points in that year's caucuses and eventually captured the party's nomination.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated the jump in Cruz's poll numbers since October.
CNN's Sunlen Serfaty contributed to this report.

Opening Soon
Pezzo will open in September 2017.
In August 2016 Guy Grossi introduced the "pezzo" (pronounced "pet-zo") to the menu at Ombra Salumi Bar.
These are gourmet pizza-pockets; buns made from his 48-hour-fermented pizza dough are baked, halved and stuffed with everything from meatballs to baked eggplant.
In February 2017, Grossi announced he would open a standalone pezzi restaurant, most likely on Flinders Lane. It'll be called Pezzo and will offer eight to 10 versions of its namesake, filled with everything from fried calamari to spit-roasted pork with sauerkraut.
Pezzi are perfect for takeaway, but considering the rest of Grossi's plan, you'll probably want to dine in. Aside from pezzi there will also be a full drinks list, antipasti and a range of sides including vegetables (pumpkin, cauliflower) roasted in the pizza oven.
Desserts will be simple Italian classics – bombolini, cannoli, tiramisu, gelato, and likely a sweet pezzo.

Exhibit staff fury as fashion chain shuts Northern Ireland stores
Around 100 jobs have been lost after clothing chain Exhibit went into administration and shut stores across Northern Ireland.
Staff told the Belfast Telegraph they were left frustrated after recently raising questions about the firm's long-term future.
The Northern Ireland womenswear chain has 14 stores and concessions across Northern Ireland and had been trading under the name Cucco Retail Limited.
It has branches in CastleCourt and the Park Centre in Belfast, along with Fairhill and the Tower Centre in Ballymena.
Exhibit was established in 1983 by Colin and Maurice Rankin, brothers of celebrity chef Paul Rankin.
It blamed the closures on a downturn in trading conditions and a "significant change in consumer spending patterns".
Staff were told on Monday evening that the company had entered administration and stores were shutting.
For years, Exhibit managed to stave off competition from cheap and cheerful rivals such as Primark by offering affordable prices for better-quality clothes.
One worker said her branch had not received new clothing deliveries for three to four weeks.
She also told how she had expressed her concerns to management and had turned down a new job just a day before her employer went into administration.
"My friend was working on Monday, and after around 5.30pm, the owner rang our manager and said we are closed," the worker added.
She said staff at her store were told they would be paid, while others were informed they would have to contact the administrators to make a claim. She had moved to part-time work with the retailer after going back to university in Belfast.
"It was annoying," the employee said. "We had called our area manager during the week and expressed our concerns to her. There had been no deliveries for three or four weeks.
"We had applied for other jobs. I also applied for other jobs, but had to turn them down. They have left staff irritated. Most of my friends are at university and need money to keep on going."
She also told how some staff had been working for the company for several years and said: "I think it was completely hopeless at the end of the day... the way it was conducted. People saw a change in the business."
Exhibit was one of the best-known brand names in Northern Irish fashion, counting celebrities Davina McCall, Christine Bleakley and Nadine Coyle among its customers.
James Neill and Rachel Foster of HNH Group have been appointed joint administrators.
In a statement, they said: "A general downturn in trading conditions, coupled with a significant change in consumer spending patterns over recent times, has significantly impacted on the company's trade and has resulted in the appointment of joint administrators. The appointment highlights the continued difficulties experienced by independent retailers on the high street.
"The joint administrators and their staff are currently undertaking an immediate assessment of the financial position of the company and its assets."

9 days of utter bliss. Dancing to the tunes of Falguni Pathak songs, the high-energy garba moves, scrumptious delicacies and the all time favorite the vibrant Navratri wardrobe.
For nine days, we all bid adieu to our daily chores, work projects and household affairs and get together for celebration.
People from various age groups participate in the merrymaking by dancing to the tunes of Garba soundtrack. Apart from the dance, the second most important part of these nights is the wardrobe.
There were days when 9 days of Garba required only one outfit, but with the evolution of festivity and as our contemporary culture became more aware, it was demanded to spend a considerable amount of time on a garba outfit. The 9-day long festival doesn't come easy to fashion fanatics. The ones who love to dress up and dance -- More like dress more and dance less.
We believe that it's our soul responsibility to pay heed to your every single fashion problem.
So for these nine days, you need not worry because we have got you fashion wardrobe covered.
We have made a list for your nine garba outfits...And the best part is every outfit is different from the other. Hurray! You'll not only look drop-dead gorgeous, but will also look different every single day for the next 7 days.
Go Vibrant (Day 1)
Commence your Garba night by keeping it vibrant and lively. You can go with more ethnic-looking wear. But try to use florescent or neon colors for your outfit. This pink lehenga just the thing you need.
Image via pinterest
Be A Desi Boho (Day 2)
Who says Garba has to be traditional and ethnic? This time experiment a tad with your Garba outfit. Drop the traditional approach and stick to brightly colored skirt and black tank top. Add head jewelry or oxidized necklaces - they always work.
Image via oyepgtumblr
Subtly down a bit ( Day 3)
It's the third day of your Garba night so let's tone a bit down on colors and secure them for the final occasion. You can try a crop top designer lehenga with minimum embroidery or a heavy gotta border. Grace the ensemble with silver jewelry.
Image via Anita Dongre
Drop the bling! (Day 4)
Since Garba is more about bling and heavy embroidery, challenge the conventions. This time go colorful on day 4, but keep the bling factor to a minimum. Pick rainbow colors and choose cotton fabric. The best part about it is that it will give you enough space for your energetic dance steps.
Image via Ezyshine
Drape It! (Day 5):
It's day 5 and you are tired of wearing lehengas so change the closet and don a Garba inspired saree like the one below. In fact, you can pick any plain color saree and add the heavy embroidered blouse.
Image via glamcheck
Anarkalis! Anarkalis! Anarkalis! (Day 6)
Since you have covered lehenga, experimented with boho ensembles, had don a saree so why not welcome anarkali? Pick a brighter shade for your anarkali like the one on right.

Keep it simple! (Day 7)
It's day 7 and for 6 days you've been dressing up. Now, all you want is to dance till the night ends. So here's the perfect outfit for you which doesn't need much dressing up. Keep it simple and rock the Garba night. Add headgear if you find it too simple.
Image via voguefashionfund
Add A Bit Of Flavor (Day 8)
Bored of lehengas and anarkalis, then Day 8 calls for this quirky outfit. No mercy at using bling, plus the boho blouse and ethnic jewelry is just what you need for the second last day.

March 4th, 2009 – by: rathashley1
Yesterday was pretty cold and nasty. Hillary and took the subway to an area downtown that has a bunch of shops where they sell anything and everything - a bit like Canal street in New York, but without the knockoffs. I found a cool dress and sweater :) The subway system here is nice, but was quite a long ride. We then went and got our nails done - and of course my skill in walking in flip flops showed when right after my pedicure, I was walking up some concrete steps and completely bit it and ruined the nail job - awesome. And yes, plenty of people saw it happen. Anyhow, after that we went back to her place and just hung out and relaxed. We had one of Trent's tennis buddies over for dinner. Trent cooked up some nice ribs - american style! This morning is much nicer, sun is out. Just got back from a run and then Hillary and I are having lunch with some of her american friends. Since it's my last night here we will go out for a nice dinner tonight and then swing by a going away party for their friend who is moving back to Brazil. Should be a fun busy day!

Yankees Rangers
October 17, 2010 by staff
Yankees Rangers, ARLINGTON – When the Yankees against the Rangers ace Cliff Lee on Sunday night at Yankee Stadium will not play for their lives NLCS.
It is guaranteed that by winning Game 1 Friday night with a return of the last entries was assisted by the movements of the Rangers' bullpen, questionable Ron Washington.
However, the matter to the best of 7 is even after two games with Phil Hughes never gave the Yankees a chance to win on Saturday when the Rangers took a 7-2 victory in front of 50,362 here.
Less than 24 hours after escaping from the trench excavated at the beginning of a terrible CC Sabathia, Hughes put the hole in the Yankees was too deep to overcome.
By the time Hughes recorded his ninth out the Rangers led, 5-0.
Making his second start of the playoffs and break working on six days of the 24 years of age did not resemble the pitcher who shut out the Twins in seven innings in Game 3 of the ALDS.
With a fastball that had enough juice, but it was bad, Hughes was punished with seven runs and 10 hits in four innings more.
Because three of the five remaining matches will be played at the edge shifts Stadium, home field for the Yankees. However, Lee will start Game 3, and will be available to do the same if a decisive Game 7 is played in Texas.
Although many are obsessed with Lee, the studies lefty Andy Pettitte opposes late on Monday, Colby Lewis was effective Saturday. In his first appearance against the Yankees since Aug. 5, 2003, 31 years old, right-hander allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2 / 3 innings.
The Yankees had chances against Lewis, putting runners on base in entries second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth, scored twice and went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position in six tables.
Lewis left in the sixth inning after allowing a home run with one out to Robinson Cano, Jorge Posada's single and a walk to Lance Berkman with two outs.
Rapada clay surface and Lefty Joe Girardi responded with Marcus Thames to beat Brett Gardner. Rapada struck Thames on a breaking ball of 76 miles per hour.
Joba Chamberlain worked for the second straight game after not used against the Twins. Hughes replaced with a runner on third and no outs in the fifth and fanned David Murphy and Bengie Molina before giving up an RBI single to Mitch Moreland, the ninth batter, which increased the lead to 7-1 Rangers .
Cano went 2-for-4 and homered for the second straight game. The Yankees gave him double in the fourth run when two outs Berkman bounced diving first baseman Cano Moreland and silver glove.
Creeping, 5-1, Berkman should be happy with a single but rounded first base with designs on second and was caught Moreland recovered the ball in foul territory and threw to first covering Lewis.
For the second straight game the Yankees' starter was lost early and hard.
In four frames Friday night, Sabathia allowed five runs, six hits and walked four, but avoid bear a loss of rally late in the game.
Hughes made no mystery to the Rangers when he gave up a run in the first, two in the second and two in the third.
The Rangers stole three bases – including his house in a double theft – in the first. Murphy homered and Michael Young had an RBI double in the second. Double Nelson Cruz, Murphy and Molina accounted for three runs in the third when the hosts extended their lead to 5-0.

Wes Rucker from govols247.com and VFL receiver Jayson Swain join WBIR Sports Executive Producer Patrick Murray to discuss Tennessee's 49-36 win over Kentucky.
Florida beat South Carolina on Saturday, so the Vols needed to beat UK to keep their SEC East title hopes alive. In order to reach the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, Tennessee must win its final two games against Missouri and Vanderbilt. It also needs Florida to lose its matchup with LSU this Saturday in Baton Rouge.
Tennessee became the first FBS team this season to allow more than 400 rushing yards and still win the game. Previously, teams were 0-30 this year when allowing 400+ yards on the ground.
Kentucky rushed for 443, but Tennessee's defense made stops when it needed to and played well in the redzone. The Wildcats made six trips inside the Vols' 20-yard line and came away with only two touchdowns while kicking three field goals. On the other redzone trip, Tennessee safety Stephen Griffin forced Benny Snell to fumble and defensive end LaTroy Lewis recovered for the Vols. Griffin had just entered the game when Todd Kelly Jr. was injured moments earlier.
Offensively, the Vols had one of their best days of the season, racking up a season-high 376 rushing yards.
Tennessee operated extremely efficiently on first down, averaging 11.6 yards per play and rushing for 283 yards to stay ahead of the sticks all day.

This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/539,652, filed on Mar. 30, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,302,571.
The present invention relates to lighting apparatus and, more particularly to light-generating and beam-establishing devices for use in lighting apparatus.
A wide variety of lighting devices have been used for generating light to illuminate particular target areas or other limited areas.
A number of problems and shortcomings exist with respect to certain kinds of lighting apparatus for illuminating limited target areas. Examples of prior art devices for this purpose include the structures disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,130,908, 5,915,823, 5,897,201 and 6,045,250, issued to Jerome H. Simon. Such devices have light-generating and beam-establishing structures which are large and bulky, rather than compact and efficient in the use of space. For this reason, the entire lighting apparatus tends to be larger and more bulky than is sometimes desirable, and these qualities may limit the usefulness of such devices. Compactness and efficiency in a light-generating and beam-establishing device are matters of particular importance in a number of lighting applications.
A number of important advances have recently been made in light-generating and beam-establishing devices for lighting apparatus, and in the lighting apparatus which utilize such devices. Attention is directed in particular to the following patent documents which are co-pending and commonly-owned with the instant patent. Such co-pending patent documents include the following: Ser. No. 09/454,073, filed Dec. 2, 1999, entitled "Efficient Arrangement For Coupling Light Between Light Source And Light Guide"; Ser. No. 09/470,156, filed Dec. 22, 1999, entitled "Method of Making Optical Coupling Device"; and Ser. No. 09/565,257, filed May 5, 2000, entitled "Efficient Directional Lighting System," all such applications having been filed by Juris Sulcs, John M. Davenport and Roger F. Buelow II. Another such co-pending and commonly-owned patent application is Ser. No. 09/568,209, filed May 9, 2000, entitled "Lighting Apparatus For Illuminating Well-Defined Limited Areas," such application having been filed by Alan J. Ruud, Roger F. Buelow II, John M. Davenport, Eric J. Haugaard and Juris Sulcs.
In utilizing such technology, protection of fragile parts and dimensional and tolerance considerations are of particular importance. Protection of fragile parts may be a problem, particularly if inexpensive manufacturing methods are desirable to facilitate profitable mass marketing. Fragile quartz light gathering/directing elements and light sources have to be held in specific spatial relationships with supporting parts and must tolerate significant shipment and handling stresses and significant heat stresses during use. Furthermore, it is important for low-cost manufacturing and reliable operation that tolerances not be too strict and that normal tolerances be readily accommodated in assembly and operation. Manufacturing variations and assembly misalignments should also preferably be accommodated, if at all possible.
Another problem which can be accounted is light loss which occurs, including in light-generating and beam-establishing devices. Light-loss considerations can tend to be particularly prevalent with respect to devices for illuminating limited areas. When directed light is aimed at a downstream device for further transmission toward a target, it is particularly important that all or virtually all of the light be received by the downstream device. Thus, close spacing can sometimes be of significant importance. Some of the above problems and considerations may be particularly difficult in situations where plural beams are generated with a single light source.
Producing and maintaining directed light beams having light of consistent high quality is a continuing need in the lighting industry. Another need is to provide readily serviceable lighting apparatus and easily replaceable light-generating and beam-establishing devices.
It is to dealing with the aforementioned problems and concerns that the present invention is directed.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device which overcomes certain problems of the prior art while delivering important advantages.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device for use in lighting apparatus which illuminates selected limited areas
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device of compact size.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device which enhances the serviceability of certain types of lighting apparatus by facilitating replacement of the light-generating device.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device which protects fragile elements during the stresses of shipping and handling and thermal stresses during operation.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device which protects fragile elements despite non-rigorous tolerances in part manufacturing and assembly.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device which accommodates misalignments without significant decreases in lighting efficiency or unacceptable light losses.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device which provides directed light of consistent high quality.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an improved multi-beam light-generating and beam-establishing device with single light which exhibits high efficiency in light usage.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the invention disclosure which follows.
This invention is an improved light-generating and beam-establishing device for lighting apparatus which provides many advantages and overcomes various problems and shortcomings in the art, including those described above. The invention provides a versatile light-generating device versatility in application.
The device of this invention includes: (1) a cage having first and second cage members, each of which has a wall defining a light opening surrounded by an inwardly-facing annular washer-engaging surface; (2) a pair of light-gathering/directing elements within the cage, each having an inlet end in end-to-end relationship with the inlet end of the other light-gathering/directing element and an outlet end aligned with one of the washer-engaging surfaces; (3) a lamp between the inlet ends of the light-gathering/directing elements; and (4) a spring washer between and engaging the outlet end of each of the light-gathering/directing elements and the corresponding washer-engaging surface. The first and second cage members are secured together with the light-gathering/directing elements and spring washers sandwiched therebetween.
The inventive light-generating and beam-establishing device provides a number of important advantages. For example, the device reliably mounts a pair of fragile light-gathering/directing elements (or in some cases one such element), securely holding them in place despite shipping and handling shocks. The invention also accommodates significant manufacturing and assembly variations, misalignments and thermal stresses, protecting the fragile component parts. These advantages are provided even when broad tolerances are allowed for manufacturing components.
Furthermore, the device of this invention allows proper close spacing with "downstream" light-transmitting elements such as the quartz rods which receive light therefrom. A close, but non-contacting relationship is important to minimize heat loss and thereby maximize light-producing efficiency. The device of this invention provides excellent control of the quality of the light being generated, avoiding significant color variations.
The device of this invention is a light-generating/directing device of excellent compactness, which is highly useful in a number of lighting applications.
The light-generating/directing device of this invention may easily be replaced when replacement is needed. The device may conveniently be removed as a unit from a lighting apparatus and a new similar unit may conveniently be inserted in its place.
In preferred embodiments, each spring washer has a free (uncompressed) dimension and a fully-compressed dimension—i.e., a thickness or axial dimension. In the device the spring washers are held in compression. Most preferably, each spring washer is a wavy washer. Such compressible washers provide excellent suspension of the light-gathering/directing elements, a factor of considerable importance particularly when such elements are fragile quartz or the like.
In preferred embodiments, the outlet end of each light-gathering/directing element and the spring washer engaged therewith have particular characteristics facilitating the assembly and support. More specifically, each of the outlet ends has an edge with at least one notch and preferably several notches therein, and each spring washer a retaining tab engaged in each of the notches.
In certain preferred embodiments, the engagement of each spring washer with the annular washer-engaging surface of the corresponding cage member is facilitated by the shape of the cage member. More specifically, the walls of the cage members each have an inside surface with a recessed flange which itself forms the annular washer-engaging surface. The spring washers are received on such recessed flanges.
In preferred embodiments, the first and second cage members are held together by a securing member. Particularly preferred securing members are U-shaped spring clips which engage the first and second cage members. A pair of such securing members are preferably on opposite sides of the cage, each securing member being snap-engaged with the first and second cage members. An electrical connection mount is secured with respect to the cage, and most preferably is secured thereto by being attached to one of the securing members. The electrical connection mount has terminals thereon by which the lamp is electrically connected. The lamp is electrically attached to terminals on the terminal mount, and electrical power is brought to such mount by other terminals.
In preferred embodiments, the first and second cage members have abutting surfaces with mating alignment features thereon. In this way, the cage members can easily be placed in reliable alignment, appropriate for final assembly, without the securing member being in place to hold the cage members together. The cage is preferably substantially open-walled.
The light-gathering/directing elements are preferably generally tubular members each having an interior light-reflective surface for receiving light from the source at the inlet end and transmitting it to the outlet end. The tubular member preferably increases in cross-sectional area from its inlet end to its outlet end, and this reduce the angle of light reflected fro the interior surfaces thereof and helps limit the width of the beam which is directed therefrom. In the most highly preferred embodiments, the light-gathering/directing elements are compound parabolic collectors, preferably made of quartz.
In preferred embodiments, the inlet ends of the light-gathering/directing elements engage one another and each inlet end has an inlet edge with two spaced notches such that adjoining pairs of inlet edge notches provide openings for receiving portions of the lamp as it is in position between the light-gathering/directing elements.
Preferably, the device of this invention has mounting members secured to the cage to facilitate attachment to the lighting apparatus. Such mounting members are preferably in the form of spring clips at one end of the structure.
While this invention has been described thus far in a symmetrical form, the invention also involves non-symmetrical and unidirectional arrangements in which, e.g., there may be a single light-gathering/directing element.
The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments which include the above-noted characteristics and features of the invention. The invention will be readily understood from the descriptions and drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred light-generating and beam-establishing device in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 2 is another perspective view from a different direction with one of the securing members and one of the light-gathering/directing elements removed to better illustrate certain parts.
FIG. 3 is another perspective view of the device of FIG. 2 but taken from the direction of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is still another perspective view from the direction of FIG. 1 but with a substantial number of parts removed to better illustrate certain parts.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the light-gathering/directing elements.
The figures illustrate a highly preferred light-generating and beam-establishing device 10 in accordance with this invention. Device 10 is used for generating light and establishing two opposite, substantially co-linear light beams. This device maybe used in a variety of lighting products, including an apparatus for illuminating two well-defined limited areas.
Device 10 includes a cage 12 which is made up of first and second cage members 12 a and 12 b, a pair of tubular light-gathering/directing elements 16, a lamp 22, a pair of wavy spring washers 24, a pair of spring clips (securing members) 26, an electrical connection mount 28 and mounting members 30.
First and second cage members 12 a and 12 b each include a wall 14 which defines a light opening 14 a surrounded by an inwardly-facing annular washer-engaging surface 14 b. Each wall 14 has an inside surface with a recessed flange, also identified by 14 b, forming annular washer-engaging surface 14 b.
Light-gathering/directing elements 16 are made of quartz and are compound parabolic collectors in end-to-end relationship. Each light-gathering/directing element 16 has an interior light-reflective surface 16 a, an inlet end 18 and an opposite outlet end 20. Lamp 22, which is also made of quartz and has a bulbous center portion for its arc elements, is between inlet ends 18 of the two light-gathering/directing element 16. Light-gathering/directing element 16 are positioned such that their outlet ends 20 are each aligned with a corresponding annular washer-engaging surface 14 b. Each wavy spring washer 24 is located between and engaging each outlet end 20 and corresponding washer-engaging surface 14 b.
Spring clips 26 engage cage members 12 a and 12 b, securing them together with light-gathering/directing elements 16 and wavy spring washers 24 sandwiched therebetween. Wavy spring washers 24 have a free dimension of about 0.065-0.078 inch and a fully compressed dimension of about 0.006 inch. When the device of this invention is assembled, wavy spring washers 24 are in compression such that the fragile elements of the assembly are reliably held in place without excessive force, this being accomplished in a manner accommodating significant manufacturing tolerances and assembly variations.
As best illustrated in FIG. 5, outlet end 20 of light-gathering/directing element 16 has an outlet end edge 20 a which has four notches 20 b in it. Notches 20 b are for the purpose of receiving inwarding-extending tabs 24 a of wavy spring washer 24, which are best illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. Such engaging relationships facilitate the alignment and orientation of parts and the aforementioned in-compression assembly.
Spring clips 26, which are of U-shaped configuration, hold first and second cage members 12 a and 12 b together, and are snapped in place. Cage members 123 a and 12 b have openings to facilitate such snap-engagement. One of spring clips 26 is also used for securing electrical connection member 28 with respect to cage 12. Lamp 22 has leads 22 a and 22 b which engage terminals (not shown) on electrical connection mount 28. Electrical connection mount 28 also has terminals on its reverse side (not shown) for attachment of the power supply.
First and second cage members 12 a and 12 b have abutting surfaces with male and female mating alignment features 13 a and 13 b as illustrated in FIG. 4. Such features allow the cage members to be placed in reliable alignment before spring clips 28 are applied to hold the assembly together. Cage 12 is substantially open-walled.
Mounting members 30 are spring members designed to snap-engage corresponding features on the lighting apparatus with which device 10 is used. Such snap engagement facilitates removal and replacement of light-generating and beam-establishing device 10.
Cage members 12 a and 12 b are preferably made of aluminum, zinc or alloys thereof. Wavy spring washer 24 is preferably made spring steel, as are spring clips 26 and mounting members 30. Electrical connection mount 28 is preferably made of a ceramic material.
While the principles of this invention have been described in connection with specific embodiments, it should be understood clearly that these descriptions are made only by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Diagnostics within Mastering provide unique insight into class and student performance. With a single click, you can view charts that summarize the most difficult problems, identify vulnerable students, and indicate grade distribution and score improvement over the duration of the course.
Using data gathered from all of the students using the program, Mastering offers wrong-answer feedback that is specific to each student. Rather than simply providing feedback of the "right/wrong/try again" variety, Mastering guides students towards the correct final answer without giving the answer away.
Mastering provides hints of two types that help students work through, and ultimately solve, problems. Declarative hints provide advice on how to approach the problem, guiding students to the final answer. Socratic hints break a problem down into smaller sub-problems, which makes it easier for students to complete the original problem.
Mastering is continually improving based on data generated through classroom use, resulting in content that is driven by the performance of actual students. We make corrections to improve problems that have ambiguous answer choices, ineffectual detractors, or tricky language, and continue to strengthen each problem through ongoing review of the data generated by Mastering students.

Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
Every time Jesus talks about His glory He is talking about his bitter suffering and death. That's it. When Jesus talks about entering into his glory he is talking about Good Friday. When Jesus speaks about God's glory he is speaking about his death – Good Friday. It should be noted that there will be roughly half the people here on Good Friday than on Easter. When it comes to our spiritual lives folks generally prefer Easter over Good Friday. Easter is more palatable. It's more in line with our personal version of God's glory. There is trumpets, banners, easter lilies, and hot breakfast. And who doesn't like that?
But Good Friday is different. We enter our pews in silence and see God beaten and whipped like an animal. The crowds spit on him. They nail him to a tree and mock him. He is naked and cries out "My God my God why have you forsaken me." Who can look without turning his face in horror? What glory could there possibly be in that miserable sight?
On holy Wednesday we must contemplate this holy mystery. If you do not love the cross you are no Christian. If you do not want God the crucified you have God at all. St. Paul writes "I have resolved to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified."
Jesus makes atonement for the sins of the whole world. Lifted up high on the cross – his lips crack under the heat of the Father's wrath. He cries out to his executioners and he prays for you when he says "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." God stretched out his hands and embraces the whole world with all of its sin, all of its immorality, all of its hatred against himself – all of its rebellion.
This isn't a mystery you can set aside and say, well I already understand that. I know that already. Of course Jesus forgives me my sins.
No. There is joy in this. Your life which you have made a mess of has been redeemed by Christ. There is happiness in this. Because it means you can lie down with your spouse and feel no shame. It means you can look your own father in the eye with nothing to be embarrassed about, even if you don't live up to his expectations. It means the sun shines brighter, the sky becomes a deeper shade of blue. The birds sing in a more lovely way. Your food tastes better and your cheap beer tastes like the expensive stuff.
All because God's love has destroyed the evil that dwells within you. Your life is good because of Good Friday. God loves sinners and God loves you. You can at last hold you head up.
When Jesus speaks of the glory of God he is speaking of His own crucifixion. If you want holiness and righteousness, and if you want a little glory for yourself you can only find it at the cross. Not up in the clouds but down here. In the muck and slop of a sinful and messy world, in your ordinary somewhat fractured relationships with those closest to you. Find glory in your love for one another. Both in giving it and receiving it.
In tonight's Gospel when he tells his disciples to love one another, he does it while setting the table. He takes bread and wine and shows them the altar that father Abraham had seen on Mount Moriah 2000 years earlier. And now you too by the eyes of faith can see what he saw – except all much clearer. God will provide for you. For he gives you Himself. And what else do you really need? In Jesus name.
