Queens Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has rubbished rumours linking Armand Traore with a move to Benfica.
The 22-year-old joined the Hoops last summer from Arsenal following successive loans at Portsmouth and Juventus.
Traore impressed during his maiden season in West London and made 23 appearances for QPR as they preserved their place in the Premier League.
Rangers' flurry of transfer activity has led to speculation about the future of the left-back, but Fernandes insists the rumours have no substance.
"I am not sure where these rumours are coming from," he posted on Twitter.
"We are building a squad. Not selling. Armand Traore is a very important player to QPR."

The world has indeed gone mad but I would expect nothing less from the Twilight mad fans (known affectionately as Twihards) who would do anything to grab a glimpse of the stars from the The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will all be there for all to see! Deadline has put up a report that the fans have already started queuing for a spot on the red carpet (or at least where it will be) for the World Premiere which takes place on Monday night in Los Angeles.
The UK Premiere takes place on Wednesday, 16th November and I'll hopefully be there at Westfield Stratford to interview the stars!
We'll also be placing the World Premiere live stream courtesy of Yahoo so you'll be able to see the stars as they arrive. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 World Premiere kicks off Monday, November 14 at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT which by our calculations means 1am GMT.
Twilight really is a phenomenon and it's all thanks to Stephanie Meyer who wrote the books.

Patch has obtained a copy of the Creve Coeur Police report filed following the single-car May 20 accident on Sackston Woods that killed local real estate agent Sheila Weaver.
Police have confirmed that their investigation is complete and that no charges have been filed.
Read Previous:
The report sheds some new light on the nature of the crash. According to the documents, Weaver and her companion, 91 year-old Marvin Gelber, were returning from Gelber's Golden Eagle, IL ranch to the home they shared on Sackston Woods.
With Gelber driving, Weaver got out of the car at the foot of the driveway to get the mail and did not refasten her seatbelt when she returned. As Gelber turned into the driveway, he later told an investigator that "his foot got stuck on the accelerator perhaps since he had on heavy boots," according to the report.
The car traveled an estimated 489 feet at that point, over a berm and through several trees before ending up on the passenger side, ending at a speed of almost 53 mph.
Gelber was found suspended by his seatbelt while Weaver was up against the windshield, complaining of abdomen and back pain. She was transported to for reported collapsed lungs and a lacerated liver, and was pronounced dead later that evening.
The report written the day of the accident said "apparently the accident occurred when Driver 1 was inattentive causing him to drive off the pavement (driveway) to the right."
A later analysis of the crash found " there is no evidence available to show that a medical condition exised which caused Driver 1 to drive off of his driveway and momentarily "black out."
The same report said Gelber said "he did not have any medical conditions that cased him to drive off the roadway, but rather he just made a mistake."

How to Measure Body Fat Using the US Navy Method
Edited by Ben Rubenstein, Flickety, Eric, Sondra C and 17 others
Feeling a little thick around the middle and want to know how much work you need to do to get in shape? The U.S. Navy has devised a method that is very accurate and uses just a few measurements and a little math.[1] To use what the Navy colorfully calls the "rope and choke" technique to measure your body fat percentage, you'll need a few minutes, a measuring tape, and a calculator. That's it!
Edit Steps
1Measure your height, without shoes.
2Measure the circumference of your waist at a horizontal level around the navel for men, and at the level with the least width for women. Don't pull your stomach in.
3Measure the circumference of the neck. Start below the larynx with the tape sloping slightly downward to the front. Avoid flaring your neck out.
4For women only: Measure the circumference of the hips, at the largest horizontal measure.
5Plug the numbers into one of the formulas below, or use an online calculator. Round your answer to the nearest full percent.
For men[2], all measurements in inches:
%Fat = 86.010*LOG(abdomen - neck) - 70.041*LOG(height) + 36.76
For men, all measurements in centimeters:
%Fat = 86.010*LOG(abdomen - neck) - 70.041*LOG(height) + 30.30
For women, all measurements in inches:
%Fat = 163.205*LOG(abdomen + hip - neck) - 97.684*LOG(height) - 78.387
For women, all measurements in centimeters:
%Fat = 163.205*LOG(abdomen + hip - neck) - 97.684*LOG(height) - 104.912

Edit Tips
- LOG refers to the logarithm with a base of 10, or LOG10, not that with a base of e, or LN. LOG(100) = 2.
- If you want mathematical/computational precision (because you want to write your own calculator) then use the following for the last metric constants:
- -( 86.010 - 70.041)*LOG(2.54) + 36.76 ≈ 30.29521038 for the men,
- -(163.205 - 97.684)*LOG(2.54) - 78.387 ≈ -104.9121099 for the women.
- -( 86.010 - 70.041)*LOG(2.54) + 36.76 ≈ 30.29521038 for the men,
- Online calculators often use the formula that has been used from 1984 to 2002 for the metric variant. When rounded to the nearest percent the difference with the newer one is generally 0%, and 1% in the worst cases.

No. 36,002 4 Claims. (6!. 338-43) This invention relates to means for determining the extent of corrosion of parts of apparatus employed in handling corrosive fluids, and in particular to corrosion test probes. At the present time, it is an almost universal practice to determine the extent of corrosion in industrial operating equipment, especially where such equipment is subjected to the prolonged action of a corrosive medium at elevated temperatures and pressures, by direct observation of the action of the corrosive medium, under actual service conditions, on a specimen or test body introduced into the corrosive environment. There are available on the market, to this end, several diiferent types of corrosion test probes each of which includes an exposed element, generally a piece of metal, to be subjected to the influence of the corrosive environment, and an enclosed element of the same material to serve as a reference member. These elements, are electrically connected into a suitable bridge or like circuit which is adapted to measure the change in the electrical resistance of the exposed element due to its becoming corroded in comparison with the normal resistance thereof in its uncorroded state as represented by the enclosed element. In the heretofore known test probes of this type the enclosing of the reference element and of the lead wires to isolate them from the corrosive enviroment is usually effected in one or the other of two standard ways. In one case, the reference element is protected by the application thereto of a coat of a suitable corrosion resistant cement or other synthetic coating material, such as polystyrene, polyethylene, ceramics and the like. The reference element is located immediately adjacent to the exposed element. The base of both elements is cast into a ceramic cement or epoxy resin plug which seals oil a case section designed to protect the lead wires. Frequently, the coat on the reference element breaks down within a short time under the existing operating conditions and thus renders the test probe useless for further testing. Also frequently, leakage into the case sectionoccurs and exposes the lead wires to the corrosive environment and thereby destroys the usefulness of the probe. In the other standard procedure for isolating the reference element and the lead wires, both are maintained within the case section with only the exposed element extending through the plug. This is also subject to leakage into the case section due to the fact that presently employed plugs do not effect a permanent and reliable seal. The active service life of test probes available prior to this invention is limited by the type of seal used to separate the exposed and reference elements or to protect the lead wire soldered joints from contacting the corrosive media. Where metal to ceramic or resin seals are made, ditficulties are encountered due in part to the difierence of the expansion coefiicients of the materials and in part to the physical or chemical breakdown of the sealing material. Furthermore, particularly Where any of these known probes must be employed in apparatus operating at high temperatures and pressures, it has been found that there always arises a problem of back-pressure leakage through the test probe. The elimination of this problem has proved to be a very difficult goal to attain, even through the use of very costly sealing arrangements and expediouts. Test probes of the known types, in fact, often cost anywhere from $50 to $250. It will be appreciated that such high replacement costs for the test probes tend to reduce materially the overall economy of the entire operation. It is, therefore, an important object of the present invention to provide corrosion test probes which are greatly simplified in design and construction as compared to known corrosion test probes and are better adapted for field installation. It is another object of the present invention to provide greatly improved corrosion test probes which can be produced at much lower manufacturing costs than has heretofore been possible. Still another object of the present invention is the provision of novel corrosion test probes as aforesaid which are sturdy in construction and completely leakproof while at the same time being very durable and having longer periods of useful life than known test probes. The hereinbefore indicated major difficulty of overcoming the problem of leakage of the corrosive fluid to the exterior of its container through the test probe itself is eliminated by the present invention through the provision of a specially shaped sealing plug which serves to support the entire testing member, to isolate the sensing element from the reference element as far as the flow of the corrosive fluid is concerned, and to provide a highly effective seal between the interior of the corrosive fluid-containing vessel and the interior of the base or housing of the probe. In accordance with this invention there is provided a corrosion test probe assembly comprising a casing made up of two hollow members dimensioned so that one fits Within the other in a telescoping connection, a plug of resilient material adapted to be subjected to compression in one direction by the telescoping of said hollow members and thereby to expand in dimension transverse to said compression direction to fit snugly against the interior walls of the larger of said hollow members and a corrosion test probe extending through said plug in the direction of said compression. The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description thereof when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a corrosion test probe constructed in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a side elevation in section, on an enlarged scale, taken along the line 22 in FIG. 1 with the testing member shown in elevation; FIGURE 2a is a front elevation in section of the sealing plug it) as shown in FIG. 2; FIG. 2b is a sectional view taken along the line 2b-2b in FIG. 2a but showing the whole diameter of the sealing plug; FIG. 3 is a partly sectional elevational view of the testing member and sealing plug as assembled but prior to insertion thereof into the housing for the probe with the testing member shown in elevation and the sealing plug shown in section; FIGURE 4 is a front elevation of the testing member and the sealing plug combination constructed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, with the sealing plug shown in axial section and the testing member shown schematically; FIGS. 5 and 6 are graphic illustrations of the manner of laying out two types of testing members for the probe insert of FIG. 4; and FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a modified type of base which may be employed for the test probes according to the present invention. Referring now first to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, it will be seen is welded or otherwise rigidly assess? that the test probe 6 according to one aspect of the invention comprises a probe housing '7, and a probe insert 8 consisting of a testing member 9 and a sealing plug llll, all assembled in a manner to be more fully explained presently. The probe housing 7 comprises a hollow tubular body or pipe ll made of stainless steel and provided at one end with external threads 12. At the same end, the axial bore or passageway 11a of the pipe 11 is beveled or tapered outwardly at an angle of approximately 20 to the axis of the pipe, as shown at 13. The housing is completed by a stainless steel nut 14 having internal threads 15 at one end, and its bore is tapered approximately 20 toward its axis at the other end, as shown at 16.. The other end of the pipe or housing body ll attached to one face of a welding ring, mounting flange or like base member 17 by means of which it may be atlixed to the wall of a vessel or conduit at an opening therein so that the probe 6 may be disposed in the said vessel for the purpose of measuring the corrosion of the latter by the fluid contained therein or passing therethrough. Welded to the opposite face of the flange or base member 17 is a hollow internally threaded adapter element 13 into the bore of which is screwed an electrical connector plug 1% by means of which the probe may be connected to a suitable testing or measuring instrument such as a Wheatstone bridge or the like (not shown). Both the flange and the adapter element are preferably also made of stainless steel. Referring now specifically to FIG. 3, it will be seen that the testing member of the probe insert 3 consists, for example, of a single length of tubing having an outer diameter of approximately and a wall thickness of about T0008". The member 9 may be made of the same material as the apparatus part the corrosion of which is to be tested. Thus, the tubing 5 may be made of stainless or carbon steel, nickel, brass, a variety of alloys, copper, aluminum, etc. The initial overall length of the tubing for stainless steel and metals of similar relatively very high electrical resistance is approximately 8 inches, while for a metal of very low electrical resistance, such as Admiralty brass, the length of the tubing must be about 12 inches. At a point Zil approximately one fourth of the distance from one end of the tubing 9, the latter is bent through an angle of about 180 to provide a short quarter-length section 21 extending substantially parallel to the straight remainder 22 of the tubing. Thus, the testing member 3 is seen to be efiectively divided into a su stantially U-shaped section 9a and a straight sectionllb which is merely a continuation of that one of the legs of the U-shaped section to which the portion 21 of the tubing was parallelized. As will be more fully described hereinafter, the section ha of the testing member 9 serves as the sensing element of the probe, and the section 9b as the reference element thereof. The sealing plug it? which constitutes a part of the probe insert ii is best shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b and comprises a body of substantially circular cross-section (see FlG. 25) provided at its opposite ends with plane sur: faces 23 and 2 oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the plug. The plug lit) is tapered approximately 20 at each end from a maximum center dimension (see FlG. 2a), thus providing a pair of annular surfaces 1 5 and 26 oriented angularly relative to the axis of the plug. At two locations on opposite sides of the said axis, the plug lid is further provided with a pair of substantially parallel bores 27 and 28. in accordance with a preferred aspect of the present invention, the plug is made of polytetrailuoroethylene, a tough, chemically very inert and highly corrosion-resistant synthetic plastic material produced by E. l. du Pont de h emours and Co. under the trademark Teflon. This material, in addition to its abovementioned properties, is further possessed of the ad vantageous characteristics of being able to withstand relatively high pressures and temperatures and of not stickin to surfaces to which it is not bonded. The significance of relatively long section 9b of 4.- all these factors will become apparent as the description of the invention proceeds. Other materials which are resilient and heat and. corrosion resistant may be used, including polychlorotrifiuoroethylene and other fiuoro-carbon polymers. As clearly shown in F168. 2 shaped section 9a of the testing member 9 extend through the bores 27 and Zn, respectively, of the sealing plug ll), relatively short portions of these legs protruding beyond the end surface 23 of the plug, and the bend Ztl oi the section 9a being spaced a relatively larger distance from the other end surface 24 of the plug. The remaining the testingmember 9, the length of which is approximately one half of the original overall length of the tubing 21-22, is located entirely exteriorly of the plug in beyond the endsurface thereof. The test probe insert 8 is completed by a plurality of Wires or leads 29, 3d, 31, 32 and 33 which are covered, respectively, by a plurality of distinctly colored insulating (Tetlon covered) sleeves 29a, 30a, 31a, 32a and 33a. The colors as such, which may, for example, be black, red, green, brown and blue, respectively, constitute no part of the present invention and actually conform only and 3, the legs of the U- 'to a specified color code employed in conjunction with certain measuring instruments to determine to which terminals of the latter the several wires are to be connected. As shown in FIG. 3, the black and red Wires 29 and 3d are connected at one end, respectively, to the free ends of the tubing sections 21 and Z2, identified as points or levels 6 and 7, this being accomplished preferably by inserting short, stripped portions of these wires into the bore of the tubing and soldering them securely to the latter. The green wire 31 is securely connected at one end, as by soldering, to a median portion of the tubing section 22, identified as point or level X. This point thus defines the junction between the U-shaped section or sensing element 9a and the straight section or reference element l b of the testing member 9. It will be clear to those skilled in the art, therefore, that the other ends of the wires 29, 3d and 31 are to be connected to those terminals of the measuring instrument, generally a Wheatstone bridge or like circuit (not shown), which enable the sensing element and the reference element 9b to form two of the arms of such a bridge circuit. These three wires thus are the actual measuring wires, the wire 51 being the center tap. The brown wire 32 is securely connected at one end to the leg 21 of the sensing element 9a at a location, identified as point or level d, intermediate point e and the sealing plug end surface 23, identified as point or levelc. Similarly, the blue wire 33 is securely connected to the reference element 9b at a location intermediate points and X but in the immediate vicinity of the former. The function of these two wires, when connected to the proper terminals of the measuring instrument, is to compensate for the resistances of the measuring wires 29, 3th and 31. In assembling the testing probe insert it shown in MG. 3, care must be taken, however, that certain dimensional relationships and ratios are maintained. For example, the exposed length of the sensing element 9a, i.e., the distance a-b, should be at least one third the length of the unexposed reference element 9]) (distance X- to ensure that the change of resistance of the sensing element due to corrosion will be large enough to be readily detected. The distances cd and c-X should be at least /8 to ensure that the soldered joints at the points d and X are not broken by the plug 10 when the latter expands under the pressure of the nut 14. Moreover, the length of the reference element 9b, i.e., the distance X-f, must be such that the testing member 9, when the wires 29 to 33 are connected for calibration purposes to the the other along the tubing section 22 until Wheatstone bridge reading indicates the desired value. When the probe insert 8 has been completed, as shown in FIG. 3, but prior to mounting of the insert in the probe housing 7, a plurality of short silicone rubber-covered fiberglass sleeves 34 are slipped over the wires 29 to 33 and ends of the tubing sections 21 and 22. One such sleeve (not shown in the drawings) covers the soldering points for the wires 29 and 32 on the tubing section 21, another sleeve (the lower one shown in FIG. 2) covers the soldering point X for the wire 31 on the tubing section 22, and the third sleeve (the upper one shown in FIG. 2) covers the soldering points for the wires 30 and 33 on the tubing section 22. The last-named of these sleeves 34, as shown in FIG. 2, also surrounds the ad- I jacent portions of the wires 29, 31 and 32, thus forming a bundle of the wires and the tubing. In this manner, any accidental contact, and thus possibility of a short circuit, between the wires and the testing member on the one hand and the metal housing for the probe on the other hand is completely eliminated. Lead wires 29 to 33 are cut so that approximately one inch extends beyond the end of housing 11 which is attached to member 17. The cut ends are soldered to the leads of the electrical connector plug 19. The plug is rotated counter-clockwise, then pushed into the threaded recess of adapter element 18 and screwed in clockwise until it is secure. The twisting of the lead wires is minimized'by this procedure. In the event that leakage into the probe housing takes place, or in the event that a probe exceeds its normal expected life and cannot be removed until the unit is shut down, electrical connector plug 19 may be removed and severed from its lead wires and a solid stainless steel plug inserted in its stead. This prevents the escape of corrosive material into the atmosphere and constitutes another safety factor in the probe of this invention. As will be understood from a consideration of FIG. 2, regardless of the ease with which the tubing sections 21 g and 22 are initially fitted through the bores 27 and 28 in the sealing plug 10, the latter will be forced tightly against these sections when the nut 14 is screwed onto the pipe or probe housing 11 so as to completely eliminate any possibility of leakage of the corrosive fluid into the interior of the test probe through the said bores. Simultaneously, the mounting of the nut 14 on the pipe 11 will bring the slanted surface 16 thereof against the complementarily slanted surface 26 of the sealing plug 10, as Well as the slanted surface 25 of the sealing plug against the complementarily slanted surface 13 of the pipe bore or passageway 11a. As the nut is rotated, of course, the Teflon plug will be compressed between the nut and the pipe, and the various corresponding slanted surfaces 1626 and 1325 will thus be forced against one another to form absolutely fluid-tight joints inhibiting any leakage around the sealing plug. It is to be noted that, when mounting the nut 14 on the pipe 11, it is merely necessary to rotate the nut until the end surface 24 of the Teflon plug is substantially flush with the top surface of the nut. As soon as this condition obtains, the efficacy of the seal will be assured. In contradistinction to the foregoing, the testing member 9' of the probe insert $3 shown in FIG. 4 is made from a length of solid, relatively thin wire, preferably about 40 mils in diameter. The overall length of the wire 9 will depend on the electrical resistance of the metal of which the wire is made. Merely by way of example, for aluminum and copper wires a length of 40" is required, Whereas a length of sufiices for a carbon steel wire and a length of 8" for an Inconel wire. Basically, the reason for the use of lengths of wire which are much greater than the lengths of the tubing 21-22 employed in accordance with the first-described embodiment of the invention is that wires, if made of the same length as the tubing, would have insuficient electrical resistance for the purposes of the test probe. This, of course, does not apply to the case of Inconel or similar alloys having a very high electrical resistance, and as a consequence thereof a testing member h made of such an alloy will differ in shape from that shown in FIG. 4 and will more nearly resemble the testing member of FIGS. 1 to 3. The preparation of a testing member 9' of the type shown in FIG. 4 is illustrated graphically in FIGS. 5 and 6. Referring first to FIG. 5, the initially straight wire in this case is a 40 mil diameter carbon steel wire the length of which (distance A-D) is 20". For a testing member of this type, as for the hereinbefore described tubular member 9, certain dimensional relationships lead ing to a desired ratio of the lengths of the sensing (exposed) and reference (protected) elements must be maintained, it being noted, however, that the ratio for a solid wire testing member is somewhat different than for the tubular member. These relationships are indicated in FIG. 5 which shows the points A, A, B, D and D at which the various leads 29 to 33 will ultimately be connected to the member, and also the point C at which the hen in the testing member (point 35 in FIG. 4) will be located. For the wire h of FIG. 5, the distance AB is about 6.5" and the distance A-C about 9.25". The initially straight wire h as indicated in FIG. 6 in a like manner is a 40 mil diameter wire made of copper or aluminum. In this case, the distance A-D or overall length of the wire is 40", while the distances A-B and A-C are about 13" and l5", respectively. The reason for this greater length will be readily apparent when the electrical resistance characteristics of copper and aluminum are compared with those of carbon steel. It will be understood, of course, that if a test probe insert were to be made of an undeformed, straight wire element, the length of the ultimate probe would be much too great for easy handling and use. To this end, therefore, the wire is deformed into the shape shown in FIG. 4. To accomplish this, the initially straight wire 9' is first threaded through a hollow tube or mandrel (not shown) approximately in diameter. A portion of the wire is bent through an angle of about 186 at the point 35 located at one end of the mandrel, to define two reaches of wire 36 and 37. The former of these is then spiraled about the mandrel to form a plurality of turns 36a, approximately 6 /2 full turns being require for a 20" wire (FIG. 5) and approximately 16 full turns for a 40" wire (FIG. 6). When the so deformed wire is withdrawn from the mandrel, it will look essentially as shown at the to of FIG. 4. The straight end portion 36b of the section 36 of the wire and the still straight section 37 are then passed through the bores 27 and 28 of a Teflon plug it) which is substantially identical with the plug 16? except that the bores in this case are much narrower than the bores shown in FIGS. 2a and 212. A portion of the section 37 of the wire which is located be yond the plug end surface 23 is then spiraled about a smaller mandrel (not shown) about in diameter, to form a plurality of turns 37a in this wire section, as shown in the bottom half of FIG. 4. The free ends of the Wire member 9' may be bent or hooked slightly as shown at 36c and 37b to provide suitable anchoring points for the black and red wires 29 and 3th which, together with the leads 31, 32 and 33 are then soldered to the wire 9 at the positions indicated in FIGS. 5 and 6. When the so-forrned probe insert 8', with the soldering points covered by suitable silicone rubber insulating tape (in lieu of the sleeves 34 shown in FIG. 2) is now fitted into a housing 11 and the Teflon plug 14) compressed by the nut 14, the probe will be rendered completely leak-proof, as explained hereinabove with respect to the probe shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. If the wire testing member 9 is made of a high resistance metal such as Inconel or Monel, it is found that it is not necessary to employ Wires as long as those indicated schematically in FIGS. 5 and 6. In such cases, an 8" wire length is suflicient, and the spiraling of the amass reference element and the free leg of the sensing element may be dispensed with, since such spiraling is employed in any event only to shorten the overall length of the probe. In lieu of the probe housing 11 being welded to a base member constituted by a flange or ring 17 to which a separate adapter element 13 is welded, it will be understood that the base member for the housing may be differently constructed. An example of such a different construction is shown in PEG. 7. The base member 38 in this case is a unitary piece of steel pipe machined externally to provide a body portion 39 and a relatively widerflange portion 4-0. The probe housing 11 is welded at one end to the flange portion 40, and the body portion 39 of the base member is internally threaded at its opposite end, as shown at 4-1, to accommodate the electrical connector or coupling 19. it will further be understood that the princples of the present invention can be embodied in a multiple probe (not shown) which comprises a plurality of probes 6 each having a housing 11 and an individual probe insert 8 or 8', all of the probe housings being welded to a common base member 17-18 or fih. A probe of the types herein described can also be mounted for axial movement in situ, as by means of a screw drive arrangement (not shown), to permit the sensing element of the probe to be disposed at different desired locations within any given corrosive environment. Moreover, where a probe according to the present invention is to be employed at very high temperatures or pressures, a possible accidental extruding of the Teflon sealing plug into the housing 11 may be prevented by providing a shoulder 1-5 (FIG. 2) on the interior surface of the housing bore or passageway 11a adjacent the inner end of the tapered surface 11 and abutting a small annular stainless steel back-up plate or disc 4-6, against the shoulder to provide support on the Teflon plug. The stainless steel back-up plate has holes to permit the tubing 9 to pass and Teflon sleeves 47 to insulate the tubing. it is to be understood that the foregoing detailed description is given merely by way of illustration and that many variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of my invention. Having described my invention what I desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1.

Greenberg Traurig confirms capital call
- Paul Brinkmann
- Reporter- South Florida Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Greenberg Traurig confirmed Friday it asked partners for additional capital, saying it was "natural" after many years with no increase.
"The modest increase in capital is a long-considered decision and there is no event, situation, settlement or other condition that requires us to raise capital at this time," CEO Richard Rosenbaum said in an email response to questions from the Business Journal.
The firm provided no other details about the capital call. Rosenbaum said the capital increase "simply a prudent management step." He said Greenberg Traurig's capital requirements from partners are modest compared to some similar law firms.
Miami-based Greenberg Traurig is the largest law firm in South Florida and one of the largest in the U.S., with a growing footprint globally.

How do you guys keep track of your team mates in a BG, I tried with the in-game UI and with grid but found them a bit awkward, then I tried just pressing V and following their health bars but that could get tricky to click on and overwhelmed the screen. Any addons or tips?
Hi Aztatha, I actually tend to use a very minimized version of healbot with click-targeting turned on, and hide the standard UI's party frames. That way I can easily see who's in range, click-heal people who are low and target-heal with keybinds if I want to. Hope that helps!Olivia

Circus elephant shot in drive-by shot in Miss.
TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — Authorities say a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus elephant was hit by a bullet in a drive-by shooting in Tupelo, Miss.
Circus spokeswoman Melinda Hartline says the elephant was not seriously hurt Tuesday. She says no other animals were harmed.
The elephant, Carol, is part of a circus in town for a series of performances. The Asian elephant was in an outside area of the Tupelo BancorpSouth Arena.
Police Chief Tony Carleton says a vehicle drove past the arena about 2 a.m. and fired into the area. Police are investigating.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says in a news release that it is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible. A $250 reward had already been offered.

We interviewed Ohne Titel designers Alexa Adams and Flora Gill at the 2010 New York Fall Fashion Week. Their new collection is influenced by Victorian silhouettes and Old World techniques but with a harder edge - creating modern shapes and textures with mixed mesh and a more athletic form. Think 19th century shape but sleek and easy to wear.
Ohne Titel Delivers Modern Take on Victorian Style For Fall 2010 Collection
Influenced by 19th Century shapes, Ohne Titel designers Alexa Adams and Flora Gill took an athletic spin on Victorian style for fall 2010, toughening up Edwardian ideas and adding military details to give the collection the strong and sleek look for which the pair has become known.
"The total idea was this sort of Victorian silhouette. We wanted to take some of the shapes and even some of the textures and modernize it in an interesting way," Adams told us backstage after the runway show. The theme was best illustrated in the graphic netting used in leggings and paneled dresses. For this Adams and Gill explained they used old world lace-making techniques on a series of meshes, then magnified the pattern to create an exaggerated lace—a look which stole the show and provided a constant theme throughout.
Overall the collection was powerful yet approachable and utterly wearable. Some of the designers' favorite looks will no doubt be flying off shelves come fall—most notably a all-mesh dress with matching mesh leggings, a black fox and shearling jacket with a black leather belt, jogging-style slouch pants, cropped leather jackets, and the leather and net booties designed with Cesare Paciotti.
Gill told us the most gratifying part of creating clothes is to see strangers on the street wearing Ohne Titel, and, with this collection, we're pretty sure she's going to have one incredible fall season.
FabTV: What's Fab First Look, Ohne Titel Runway at New York Fashion Week
The Ohne Titel Fall 2010 runway bravely combined textures and fabrics like mesh netting, velvet, fox hair, wools and knits — and pulled it all together into a beautiful, wearable collection. Massive leather belts at the waist, shearling moto jackets, and menswear trousers are just a few of the runway trends.

Ohne Titel Fall 2010: Nothing But Net
>> Ohne Titel has the industry rapt: one look at the front row — scattered with the likes of Suzy Menkes, Hamish Bowles, Cecilia Dean, Cathy Horyn, Stefano Tonchi, and Carine Roitfeld in her first appearance of the week — is a testament to that. But this season, Alexa Adams and Flora Gill were ready to win over more than just the editorial crowd; they focused on keeping prices down, producing wearable pieces, and growing their clientele.
Starting with "nineteenth century shapes and details" and adding their own utilitarian twist, out came streamlined knits, net skirts, and velvet jackets in moss green, gray, and black. Stylist Alastair McKimm helped the designers pair everything with patchwork tights and strapped wedge boots, the latter part of their ongoing collaboration with Cesare Paciotti.
If Flora and Alexa are looking for more fans, they definitely appear to have won over their models: Maryna Linchuk made her first Fashion Week appearance at the show, dancing as she entered the backstage area after walking; Constance Jablonski, too, gave a happy little shimmy after her runway loop.

Alexander Wang Takes Home 2009 Swiss Textile Award; Kate Mulleavy On Why Her Label Is Called "Rodarte," Not "Mulleavy"
>> Alexander Wang is experiencing quite the winning streak — he was awarded the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund of $200,000 last November, the 2009 CFDA Swarovski Womenswear winner this past June, and now he's taking home the 2009 Swiss Textiles Award, a prize of about $150,000, to go towards international development. Wang becomes the second American designer in a row to win the Swiss Textiles Award, following after Rodarte, who were the first American winners ever last year.
The jury this year, chaired by Isabel Toledo, apparently had a tough time making a decision — Wang's fellow finalists this year were Peter Pilotto, Erdem, Thakoon, Alexis Mabille, and Ohne Titel, who will each receive a prize of approximately $6,000.
Anna Wintour Fetes CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalists
Anna Wintour hosted an annual event for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Wednesday night in her West Village townhouse. The ten designers gather chez Wintour to showcase fashion fund-sponsored design projects and mingle with past finalists and current CFDA members.
This year Google's Marissa Mayer was the guest of honor, as each finalist was challenged with designing pieces inspired by the Google search engine. (In 2008 and 2009 the project was sponsored by L'Oreal Paris color cosmetics.)
Designers arrived with models (Alexa Adams and Flora Gill of Ohne Titel with Dree Hemingway) and actresses (Waris Ahluwalia of House of Waris with Rose Byrne) to show off their one-of-a-kind creations. George Esquivel dressed Kemp Muhl in colorful "Google shoes" with search box back tags, and Wayne Lee designed a neoprene vest that could carry a 15 inch laptop.
The event was also attended by Vena Cava's Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock, Rogan Gregory, Thom Browne, Rachel Roy, Vera Wang, Patrick Robinson, and Georgina Chapman.
Meet the 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalists
Although we mentioned the star-studded cover story, our personal favorite sitting from the November issue of Vogue, on newsstands today, is that introducing the ten 2009 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists.
In its six years, the fashion fund has nurtured and championed young, American design talent such as Proenza Schouler, Doo-Ri Chung, Alexander Wang, Rodarte and Philip Crangi.
Today Vogue.com has interviews with each of the 2009 finalists—Sophie Theallet, House of Waris, Ohne Titel, Wayne, Esquivel Shoes, Monique Péan, Gary Graham, Spurr, Patrik Ervell, and Alabama Chanin. "We had very strong applicant pool this year, particularly among the jewelers," said Vogue's Anna Wintour in a statement. "The ten finalists we selected are a talented, diverse group, who are building healthy independent businesses in challenging times."
The winner, who will be paired with an industry mentor and receive a $200,000 cash prize, and two runners-up will be announced at an event on November 16 in New York.

Ohne Titel Straddles Primitive Egyptian Modernity for Spring 2010
>> Ohne Titel's Alexa Adams and Flora Gill told Fashionista backstage that their Spring 2010 collection was their strongest yet, and they weren't kidding. Inspired by "the graphic lines, lush textures, and bold colors in Egyptian reliefs and sculptures," according to their show notes, Adams and Gill adapted their signature tailoring and body-con sensibilities to span an oxymoronic look of primitive modernity. They elaborated to The Cut: "We looked at a lot of wall painting and sculptures, and so we're kind of playing with taking those same kind of proportions and applying them on the body."
Lace-up heels, flats, and thigh-high boots done in collaboration with Cesare Paciotti are sure to have the shoehounds drooling, and the prevalent texture in the collection — including patches of multicolored hand embroidery — was exquisite. Alastair McKimm, who worked with Alexander Wang the last two seasons, styled, and both Cathy Horyn and Visionaire's Cecilia Dean appeared front row.

I'm not sure if I really need spoiler warnings on a short story written in 1971, but I thought I'd be safe since I need to reveal the ending to ask the questions.
In the story, a tech writer watches as the moon over San Diego gets very bright, then comes to the conclusion that the sun has gone nova and that he and the Earth have, at most, a few hours to live.
By the end of the story, he realizes that it's not the sun going nova, he recalls that the sun is too small for that to happen, but that it's a massive solar flare that has essentially cooked everything from Asia to Europe. Part of his realization comes from the rocks returned from the Apollo mission. He recalls that they had been partly melted on one side from a previous flare from hundreds of thousands of years before.
My question is, after all that buildup, how possible is this story? Could a solar flare be large enough to cause actual damage to the earth? For that matter, is there evidence as suggested in the story, that moon rocks have a melted side or is a detail made up for the story?

If you want great goggles, buy the crowbar
By D. Joshua Christensen December 9, 2008
This is an awesome goggle. The blue color is a little bit more of a royal blue (purple hue to it) than I expected. It is a really great goggle. The fire lens is best for super bright days. Oakley goggles are the safest, most optically correct goggles that I have ever used. They don't have as good of a field of view as the Oakley Wisdom..but they fit almost all faces better than any other goggle I have used. Some goggles fit big faces, others fit small faces, I would say that the crowbar probably fits about 90% of faces.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Utah Jazz didn't win Tuesday night, falling 104-99 to the Indiana Pacers for their second road loss in as many nights.
But they showed something in this one that they didn't in Monday's embarrassing 99-88 loss to the no-name Knicks.
Fire. Life. Desire.
At least from the midway point in the third quarter until the final horn.
The Jazz found themselves trailing by 21 points at 71-50 after a Danny Granger basket with 8:04 remaining in the third quarter.
Raja Bell hit a 3-pointer, and the comeback was on.
Utah pulled within seven by the end of the third, and the visitors kept the momentum going into the final period.
The Jazz even took the lead — completing a 22-point turnaround — on two Josh Howard free throws with just under eight minutes remaining.
Indiana and Utah traded leads for a while before the Pacers took control down the stretch.
Granger hit a jumper with under a half-minute remaining to put the Pacers up by five points.
Devin Harris responded with a bucket, trimming the lead to three with 17.9 left.
A night after the Jazz got torched by New York point guard Jeremy Lin (28 points), Pacers playmaker Darren Collison burned Utah for 25 points.
Granger finished with 16, including a pair of clutch free throws with 10.6 seconds remaining.
Roy Hibbert also had 17 for Indiana, which improved to 17-7.
Paul Millsap bounced back from a rough night in New York to lead the Jazz with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Al Jefferson added 16 points, C.J. Miles had 12 points and Indiana native Gordon Hayward had 11 points in his second game back in his hometown.
Halftime Quick Take
INDIANAPOLIS — The Utah Jazz are getting torched by another point guard on the road.
A few more fans might recognize this one, though.
Indiana's Darren Collison has 17 points at the half to pace the Pacers to a 57-46 advantage at the break at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Al Jefferson leads the Jazz with 12 points, but he has his hands full with Indiana center Roy Hibbert, who also has 12 points.
Hometown hero Gordon Hayward has played tough defense against Indiana's leading scorer, Danny Granger, even holding him scoreless in the first quarter. The former Brownsburg High School and Butler star has four points on 2-for-5 shooting against his childhood team.

We stayed in May this year with our four month old. When we checked in we were advised there were no ground floor apartments left so we were put on the first floor. Sharon said the resort is very safe so I could leave the stroller at the bottom of the stairs which we did (there are no lifts). We got a nice quiet room overlooking the side street. Very spacious with equipped kitchen and everything we needed. Sharon was great in recommending tours we could do with a four month old. The pool was a little cold but lovely. It was unfortunate that on our last day a large group of families and friends checked in and basically took over the resort with their noise. But it wasn't the children being loud, it was the adults. It amazes me the lack of respect some people have for other families who want a quit relaxing holiday. This of course is not the fault of Cayman Villas as they don't know who is booking at the time. The other thing I loved about Cayman is the location. Having a young baby we wanted to be able to walk and the location is superb. Five minutes from the main street, beach and wharf

Google expands TrueView skippable ads to mobile
By Sarah Shearman, mediaweek.co.uk, Thursday, 23 August 2012 11:20AM
Google has started rolling out its skippable ad format TrueView to YouTube on mobile, as it moves to capitalise on the upsurge of consumers streaming video on their devices.
TrueView, which launched in 2010, offers users the option of skipping pre-roll advertising after five seconds, with advertisers not having to pay for the slot if the user decides not to watch it. The idea is that this offers greater incentive to produce ads that engage consumers.
Google, which has been running a trial on the ad format on mobile, said that early indications are that users engage with the ads in the same way as they do on desktop.
According to a Google spokeswoman, TrueView is one of YouTube's most successful ad formats to date and 65% of all video ads on YouTube are TrueView skippable ads.
Other mobile ads YouTube already offers include Promoted video ads, which sit at the top of the video search results of YouTube's mobile platform; mobile roadblocks which are masthead ads, and customised mobile brand channels.
The move comes as advertisers are looking for more creative ad formats for mobile that will not impinge on user experience, given the smaller screen size. This is particularly the case in social media, where consumers are less used to being served advertising.
Both Twitter and Facebook have yet to crack mobile advertising, with Twitter trialling ads in users' timelines last year, while Facebook started selling mobile ads that appear in users' newsfeeds earlier this year.
