Samsung confirms no KitKat for Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G
Summary: Samsung confirms Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G owners will be stuck on Android 4.3 forever.
Nearly six months after Google released KitKat, Samsung has confirmed the relatively young Galaxy S3, and the even newer S3 mini 3G, won't receive further OS updates.
Samsung has avoided disappointing owners of the two devices for as long as possible, with the company's confirmation only coming after internal documents — leaked to Samsung specialist site Sammobile last week — revealed that the company was having troubles getting KitKat running on the Galaxy S3 international model (GT-I9300).
Samsung has now officially confirmed the exact problem holding back the upgrade: the 1GB of RAM in the two devices isn't enough to support an update to KitKat.
"As a result of the Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions' hardware limitations, they cannot effectively support the platform upgrade while continuing to provide the best consumer experience, so Samsung has decided not to roll-out the KitKat upgrade to Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions," Samsung said in a statement to ZDNet.
The news will be disappointing to owners of the Galaxy S3. Launched in May 2012, the device was 18 months old at the time Google released KitKat. It's even more disappointing to S3 mini owners, who bought the device after October 2012.
The lack of an update jars with Google's policy for its own Nexus branded devices — where it generally delivers OS updates for devices that are younger than 18 months, but not for older hardware. In the past, the policy has meant that the Galaxy Nexus 10 did not receive KitKat.
HTC One X and One X+ owners will be all too familiar with the letdown. HTC announced last year that the two devices — two years and one year old respectively at the time KitKat was released — wouldn't get the update. HTC never gave a reason for its decision, but like the two Samsung devices, both HTC phones have just 1GB of RAM.
Samsung's reasoning for not delivering the update might surprise owners who remember Google announcing that KitKat could run "comfortably" on devices with 512MB RAM. While that may be the case for Nexus devices, the customised layer that OEMs like to slap on top of Android, such as HTC's Sense UI and Samsung's TouchWiz, carry an overhead that may require more space than pure Android.
Not all Galaxy S3 owners have missed out though. US carrier Sprint confirmed in March that owners of the US version of the Galaxy S3 will get KitKat, along with Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy Mega and Galaxy Tab 7.0. However, as Sammobile notes, the US Galaxy S3 came with 2GB RAM. For the same reason, the Galaxy S3 LTE version will also get the upgrade.

Indian Emigration Act to be amended: Ravi
KOCHI: The Centre will have labour agreements with other countries in West Asia for the welfare of emigrant labourers, as it had with the United Arab Emirates, said Vayalar Ravi, Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs.
Addressing mediapersons here on Wednesday, Mr. Ravi said that agreements would be reached soon with Qatar and Kuwait.
Mr. Ravi said that the legislation wing of the Union Law Ministry was giving final touches to the amendments being made to the Indian Emigration Act, for the first time since it was enacted in 1983.
"The idea is to increase accountability of overseas recruiting agencies and stringent action will be initiated against those found erring. Provisions will also be there for Indians going abroad to adhere to the regulations mentioned in their respective visas, including nature of visit and period of stay."
Discussions were on with insurance companies for evolving packages for covering the safety of those going abroad for employment, he said.
"The Union Government is ready to start `pravasi university' if any State Government comes forward with offers of free land," he said.
Referring to the Assembly resolution on the A.K. Balan issue, Minister for Welfare of Backward and Scheduled Communities and Electricity, he said that the tendency to pit the Legislature against the Judiciary would weaken democracy and lead to the public losing faith in democracy.
"The right thing to do is to appeal to a higher court, which has already been done, and so the Assembly procedure could have been avoided," Mr. Ravi said.
In response to a query on the remark made by CPI leader Veliyam Bhargavan on contributions of the former minister K.R. Gouri, he said that contributions to the nation's development by senior leaders should be acknowledged without being biased by political ideologies.

Week In Review – 11/21/14Bruce Doole
November 21st, 2014
|Three Surprising Facts About Portfolio Taxes
|1. You really do want to pay taxes.
Let's be honest: No one likes to pay taxes. It's not an enjoyable experience to have a portion of the wealth you've been creating extracted and sent to the government. But in the broad scheme of things, if you're paying taxes on your investment portfolio, it's good news. That's because you pay taxes when your portfolio is up — when you're making money.
While you should manage that tax impact to minimize any negative effects, the simple truth is that the more you're paying in taxes, the more you're creating in wealth. The single most effective way to avoid paying taxes is to lose money year after year, and you certainly don't want to do that.
2. The benefits of tax loss harvesting are often overstated.
There is value in trying to manage tax exposure along the way, and one of the most popular ways of doing that is to harvest capital losses. Obviously, harvesting losses isn't good news, ultimately, since it means you lost money on your investment (it's like a consolation prize from the government for losing money). Nevertheless, investments go up and down and sometimes there are opportunities to take advantage of the declines.
The important thing to remember when you perform loss harvesting is that the technique results in a tax deferral, not a tax savings.
In a lot of situations, people believe that loss harvesting is creating wealth for them or saving them on taxes. Technically, that's not the case, as every tax dollar you're saving now will have to be paid back in the future when that investment recovers. That's not to say that loss harvesting is worthless, but rather, that the opportunity it offers is tax deferral — that $3,000 in your pocket now (which you can invest and grow) in exchange for $3,000 paid in the future to Uncle Sam. So while there is value in tax loss harvesting, it is often exaggerated.
3. Sometimes it's better to pay taxes early instead of deferring them.
While it's often a good idea to defer taxes when you can, there are situations where the best thing you can do is actually pay the taxes earlier. This comes as a result of the 2013 changes in tax law which moved us from a historical two tax bracket system for capital gains — a low bracket of 5% or 0% for lower income Americans, and 15% for everyone else — to what is effectively a four bracket system today. Currently, we have 0%, 15%, 18.8% (for those also subject to the 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income), and 23.8% (the 20% top capital gains rate combined with the 3.8% surtax).
The reason why a four bracket tax structure is so important is that if we do too good a job pushing our capital gains down the road, we could actually finish with less money. For example, imagine a portfolio that's growing well at $50,000 a year in gains. You may think you don't want to sell any of those gains right now, because you don't want to pay the taxes. A $50,000 yearly gain is something you might be able to pay at the lower 15% rate, if you're in a moderate tax bracket. However, if you push that down the road 10 years, you'll no longer have individual $50,000 gains, but one massive $500,000 gain, which would bump you right up into the 23.8% bracket. As a result, you'll actually pay more in taxes than you would have by simply paying at the lower rate each year.
This is a very important planning issue when you're trying to manage portfolios on a tax efficient basis. When your income is high, then there's little problem in deferring the taxes. But when your income is low, it may be more beneficial to harvest the gains and fill up those lower tax brackets so you can avoid being pushed into a higher tax bracket in the future.

Militia-ous Intent: White Supremacists Planning Kansas City Rally On 75th Anniversary of Kristallnacht
The watchdog group the Institute for Research & Education On Human Rights is reporting that the National Socialist Movement is planning a rally in the Kansas City area on November 9. According to IREHR, "Most of the chatter about the would-be rally place it in downtown Kansas City, Missouri; although the NSM leaflet advertising this event places it in Kansas City, Kansas."
Why has the NSM chosen to rally on November 9?
Kristallnacht – Night of Broken Glass
Seventy-five years ago, in the late evening and early morning hours of November 9–10, 1938, Adolph Hitler unleashed his Storm Troopers and gangs of Hitler Youth in cities throughout Germany, annexed Austria, and in areas of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia recently occupied by German troops. The violent anti-Jewish pogroms resulted in deaths, massive destruction and deportations. Those assaults on the Jewish community became known as Kristallnacht (literally translated as "Night of Crystal" and often referred to as "Night of Broken Glass").
Standards to Live By? The Twisted Logic of the "Values Voter"
Pride seems to come in different shapes and sizes these days. And standards vary according to wherever the political winds transport them. Ann Coulter said she was "so proud" of Republicans for shutting down the government and hoped more Republicans like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz would be elected in order that the right-wing goal of defeating the affordable care law could be realized. Host Sean Hannity agreed, of course, and it seemed that the nasty chorus of ultra-conservative views would continue as before to keep the country embroiled in endless partisan rhetoric.
She said it was a brilliant tactic deserving of praise, and she hoped more of the same would develop in the near future. Coulter and other wingers are fast talkers and sound at times almost rational. According to Cruz, "There is no Senator in this body, Republican or Democrat, who is more principled, who is more dedicated, who is more fearless and willing to fight for the principles that make this nation great than is Senator Mike Lee." MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said he admired Lee as well, even though he wasn't in favor of shutting the government down. What, in fact, was so admirable about costing the government billions of dollars while the country ground to a halt, and thousands of jobs were lost?
And where do the self-proclaimed 'values voters' fit in? Are they a special breed of super-patriots prepared to set an example for the rest of us to emulate? Do they have a secret code to discern moral parameters for people who are too dim to make those determinations for themselves? There are no adequate explanations for how such voters reached the values that influence their votes and send them into paroxysms of cheering and applause. One can only guess at the driving force that encourages enthusiasm of such magnitude - - perhaps it is just a great well of ignorance that rises up to engulf the empty surround that passes for thoughtful deliberation. Values voters, indeed; however did we reach a point where charlatans and hucksters deliver versions of our language that defy meaningful translation, and yet are celebrated among those for whom rational debate holds no appeal?
Eugene Robinson | The Out-of-Control NSA
Let's get this straight: The National Security Agency snooped on the cellphone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel? Perhaps for as long as a decade? And President Obama didn't know a thing about it?
Either somebody's lying or Obama needs to acknowledge that the NSA, in its quest for omniscience beyond anything Orwell could have imagined, is simply out of control.
The White House has not denied news reports -- courtesy of disclosures by whistleblower Edward Snowden -- that the spy agency eavesdropped on Merkel's phone calls. Press secretary Jay Carney said that "the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," which sure sounds like an admission that such "monitoring" took place in the past.
This is a problem. Merkel is the de facto leader of Europe, which makes her, from the U.S. point of view, perhaps the most important allied leader in the world. Moreover, she and Obama have not only mutual respect but also a genuine rapport -- or used to. Her government huffily demanded an explanation and said such spying "would be a serious breach of trust."
BP's Final Nail in the Gulf Coffin: Why the Feds Must Ban the Toxic Dispersant Corexit
On April 20th, 2010, BP's Deepwater Horizon exploded off the Gulf of Mexico, claiming 11 lives, followed by an estimated 200 million gallons of oil that polluted the sea and shores with black poisonous tar for three months. The world's worst oil catastrophe in history left the Gulf's fishing and tourist industries in an extremely depressing situation. It's not exactly accurate to claim that life on the Gulf is completely dead. The oil industry is booming. But thanks primarily to British Petroleum's and Halliburton's decisions of gross negligence i.e. putting profits first over safety, the tourist and fishing industries are struggling to say the least, (read Dahr Jamail's Gulf Ecosystem in Crisis) which is the reason BP was forced to set aside a relief fund of $20 billion dollars for victims of these Gulf businesses; some did well from the settlements, but many are in dire straits. Moreover, BP is still sitting on most of that relief fund money.
Cleanup has been an ongoing nightmare. Scientists are now concerned about the possibility of restoration given the damage that was done to the fragile ecosystems, specifically the food chain that has been "dissolved" from harsh chemical pollutants: viz. the combination of oil and the potent toxic dispersant Corexit. Corexit is largely the culprit that has literally dissolved the food chain vital for regeneration of marine life.

Tragically, the likelihood of recovery is slim to say the least due to the fact that the US government allowed BP to drop tons of the highly toxic dispersant, Corexit, over vast areas of the Gulf for long periods of time, areas that included sensitive oyster and clam estuaries. No other government in any other civilized country would have been that ignorant, that careless to allow an oil company to dump tons of toxic chemicals on top of millions of gallons of oil. It's the equivalent of unloading truckloads of decomposing acid into the ocean. The consequences have been unspeakably horrifying and heartbreaking: thousands of dolphins have washed up on the shores, dead, with their eyes literally burned out of their sockets, eyeless shrimp, deformed fish with lesions, and above all else: no fish.
Fracking Activist Silenced for Doing EPA's Work
Monday morning, Oct. 21, 2013: Vera Scroggins, a retired real estate agent and nurse's aide, was in Common Pleas Court for Susquehanna County, Pa., to explain why a temporary injunction should not be issued against her.
Before her were four lawyers and several employees of Cabot Gas and Oil, who accused her of trespassing and causing irreparable harm to the company that had almost $1 billion in revenue in 2012. They didn't want her on their property they owned or leased in the Marcellus Shale.
Scroggins is an anti-fracking activist, someone who not only knows what is happening in the gas fields of northeastern Pennsylvania, but willingly devotes much of her day to helping others to see and understand the damage fracking causes. Since 2010, she had led visitors, government officials, and journalists on tours of the gas fields, to rigs and well pads, pipelines, compressor stations, and roads damaged by the heavy volume of truck traffic necessary to build and support the wells.
As part of her tours, she introduces the visitors to those affected by fracking, to the people of northeast Pennsylvania who have seen their air and water polluted, their health impacted. The visitors come from New York, which has a moratorium on fracking; from Pennsylvania, which doesn't; from surrounding states and from foreign countries, who want to see what fracking is, and what it does.
And now in a court room in Montrose, she was accused of trespassing and forced to defend herself.
Jim Hightower | Monsanto Buys a Food Prize
As Lily Tomlin has noted, "No matter how cynical you get, it's almost impossible to keep up."
For example, imagine if a prestigious group announced that this year's "World Environmental Prize" is being awarded to BP, for its unique contribution to the ecology of the Gulf of Mexico. No way, you say? Too absurd?
Right, but try this one: Imagine that an Iowa group announces that its "World Food Prize" will go to Monsanto for pushing its patented, pricey, genetically-tampered Frankenseeds on impoverished lands as an "answer" to global hunger. This would be so morally perverse that the "cyn" in cynical would be spelled s.i.n. Yet, it has actually happened.
Rather than encouraging sustainable farming and self-sufficiency in impoverished communities as a way to alleviate poverty and malnutrition around the world, this year's World Food Prize has been "won" by a profiteering, biotech, seed-and-chemical monopolist that's the freakish opposite of sustainability. Monsanto, which owns 90 percent of the world's genetically modified seeds, is globally infamous for bullying family farmers, bribing and corrupting governments, stiffing independent scientific inquiries into its hokum, running false ads and fraudulent PR campaigns, and going all out to keep consumers from knowing that the crops produced by its seeds contain alien, bioengineered DNA and have not been tested for long-term health and environmental problems.
Why would this avaricious outfit get any sort of award, much less one that can give it a false legitimacy as a corporate "savior" for the world's poor? Perhaps because Monsanto is a major funder of the World Food Prize. Indeed, the foundation that hands out the award is headquartered in downtown Des Moines in a historic building that recently got a spiffy remodeling, thanks to a $5 million donation from — you guessed it — Monsanto. The corporate honoree has also been a steady donor to the food prize foundation, giving some $400,000 to its promotion of industrial agribusiness in the last dozen years.
How cynical is that? Even Lily Tomlin wouldn't have imagined it.
Jim Hightower | J.P. Morgan: The Man and the Bank
J.P Morgan was recently socked in the wallet by financial regulators, who levied a fine of nearly a billion bucks against the Wall Street baron for massive illegalities.
Well, not a fine against John Pierpont Morgan, the man. This 19th century robber baron was born to a great banking fortune and, by hook and crook, leveraged it to become the "King of American Finance." During the Gilded Age, Morgan cornered U.S. financial markets, gained monopoly ownership of railroads, amassed a vast supply of the nation's gold and used his investment power to create U.S. Steel and take control of that market.
From his earliest days in high finance, Morgan was a hustler who often traded on the shady side. In the Civil War, for example, his family bought his way out of military duty, but he saw another way to serve. Himself, that is. Morgan bought defective rifles for $3.50 each and sold them to a general in the Union Army for $22 each. The rifles blew off soldiers' thumbs, but Morgan pleaded ignorance, and government investigators graciously absolved the young, wealthy, well-connected financier of any fault.
That seems to have set a pattern for his lifetime of antitrust violations, union busting and other over-the-edge profiteering practices. He drew numerous official charges — but of course, he never did any jail time.
Moving the clock forward, we come to JPMorgan Chase, today's financial powerhouse bearing J.P.'s name. The bank also inherited his pattern of committing multiple illegalities — and walking away scot-free.
Eugene Robinson | GOP's Defeat as Devastating as Sherman's March to the Sea
President Obama's victory this week was as complete and devastating as Sherman's march through the South. But there is no early sign that the zealots of the anti-government far right have learned the lessons of their defeat -- which means that more battles lie ahead.
House Speaker John Boehner was not being honest Wednesday when he explained the GOP surrender by saying, "We fought the good fight; we just didn't win." This was not a good fight. Republicans picked an objective that was never realistic -- forcing Obama to nullify the Affordable Care Act, his biggest achievement -- and tactics that amounted to self-immolation.
Boehner knew from the start that the GOP would be blamed for shuttering the government and that he could never really allow the Treasury to default. So what on earth was the point?
Apologists say that Boehner had to go through with the shutdown and go down to the wire on the debt ceiling to show the hard-core tea-party members of his caucus that "we control one-half of one-third of the government," as the speaker has said -- that a slender House majority has limited power.
But come on, really? Can these people not count? Or do they have such blind faith in their own wisdom that they think they are divinely ordained to prevail, whatever the odds? That is the mindset of crusaders, not legislators.
Haters Holding US Hostage Embraced Denial, Resistance and Willful Ignorance
Many haters of Barack Obama claim his policies are stifling their freedom. In fact, they dislike him because he's a shining example of what they refuse to become—a civil, considerate, rational, and powerful (in his own self) human being. They want to tear him down so he doesn't make them feel so personally inadequate.
It's like this the world over. Many Pakistanis resent 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who won the European Union's human rights award after surviving a Taliban assassin, because she campaigns for women's educational opportunities. A friend of hers said, "Here in Swat, we have seen the hell that is Taliban rule. And yet, some people still say they would much rather side with the Taliban than Malala. Sometimes people never learn."
Stubbornly resentful people like these hang out in the company of a tenacious trio: denial, resistance, and willful ignorance. They cling to their limited sense of self, embrace the status-quo, and stifle their own inner growth. They are inclined to dislike if not hate anyone who, unlike them, is not suffocating from closed minds and hearts.
Hateful people are beguiled by self-image and diminished by self-centeredness. They can't bring themselves to step out from behind an ego-centered mentality that cuts them off from an appreciation of (and emotional connection to) their own deeper humanity and the people around them. Their ego, which demands allegiance to its self-importance, is experienced as their core or essence. Their only reverence is for the sanctity of self-image. Their hatred is for those who discount this "religion."
Wake Up, Rich People: The Wealthy Will Lose Money Betting Against Global Warming
There is a lot of discussion about how victims of poverty will get hit the hardest from climate change disasters, but how will radical climate changes impact world economies, and the wealthiest members of society?
The consequences have proven that the poor suffer dramatically more from climate change disasters than the rich, but prosperous businesses are also being severely challenged and impacted. No industry falls alone. In the financial markets, everything is interconnected. Climate change is having a crippling ripple effect across global economies.
Consider Fukushima. It can be scientifically argued that climate change played a role in creating the "extreme conditions" of a record breaking 9.0 magnitude earthquake followed by a massive tsunami that led to the ongoing emergency crisis at Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The released radiation into the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere threatens the world as we confront an insolvable nuclear meltdown with no end in sight. We now know that we cannot rely on nuclear power after Fukushima.
Due to the high levels of radiation, most of the agricultural region surrounding Fukushima have been reduced to ghost towns. Japan's fishing industry has lost billions of dollars from the spilled radiation that has spread as far as California. Take a look at these photos for a close up view of Japan's decimated economy. Global warming does not spare the rich. Everyone on the ship goes down.

Watch any NFL game on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and you'll see a bevy of commercials espousing that a given car or truck model is sleek, rough, tough, cool, fuel efficient, family-friendly, sporty, ad nauseum. Adjectives like these are music to a car/truck marketer's ears.
What you don't see or hear very often is that hackers continue to pose a threat to all sorts of vehicle models – and even smart charging stations for electronic vehicles (EV) may be vulnerable to hacking. Granted, there haven't been any major security breakdowns and security professionals say that auto manufacturers are making inroads in improving software security. In fact, Andrew Brown, chief technologist for Delphi Automotive said recently that "quite honestly, the vehicles, systems and components today are quite robust and resistant to cyber-security threats. But that doesn't mean it's 100%."
Added Ed Adams, a security expert:
"There's an awful lot of code throughout the entire supply chain, not just with the auto manufacturers, but with the infotainment systems and applications like Sirius and Harmon. The fact of life is that software is flawed."
Cheryl Dancey Balough and Richard C. Balough, co-founders of Chicago-based Balough Law Offices, LLC, said today's cars have dozens of electrical control... Read more

The evolution of mobile: What's up with wearables?
At CJ University by Conversant, there was a lot of chatter surrounding the future of affiliate marketing and solving challenges in the space. The event also coincided with Apple's announcement of its new iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch. How do affiliate marketers evolve in a world where content is mostly consumed on mobile browsers and apps? And what about wearables? Their impact on the consumer is just beginning, but appears to be most profound in the health and fitness arena.
Editor's note: This blog post is part of iMedia's sponsored coverage of CJ University.
Few are attuned into the convergence of health, digital marketing, and affiliate practices like Jennifer Bentz, director of online marketing at Beachbody. She spoke to iMedia at CJ University about the continuing definition of mobile (in all forms) and how marketers need to align their strategies to not miss out on big opportunities.

Apple: New Allies, Enemies and Magic
It was another typical Apple conference, but not because they debuted new products. It was the latest announcement of Apple aligning itself with new industries and companies as partners, while also creating new enemies along the way. As critics waited roughly 60 seconds before knocking the innovations that Apple spent years developing, what can't be denied is the sheer ambition that the company continues to display in continually creating new ecosystems and challenging existing, competitive landscapes. These are arguably the first significant invasions under General Tim Cook, who fired out a salvo of his own brand of Apple magic to finish off the conference.
So let's take a look at the new battle lines being drawn specifically with the introduction of ApplePay, AppleWatch, and a focus on health and fitness. As Apple has successfully done in the past, its new products and core software enable a whole new group of developers to dream of how to reach several hundred million iPhone users around the globe, quickly. Just as the App Store brought a new generation of ground-up and established developers to the mobile world, the HealthKit opens the door for some very heavy hitters to align with Apple. Medical equipment manufacturers... Read more

The Ottawa Hills Theatre Arts Department proudly presents "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." According to the Utah Shakespeare Festival, "When the play, 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown,' was first staged on March 7, 1967, at Theatre 80 in New York City, there was no real script. The six young actors were armed mostly with ten songs and ten years' worth of cartoons by 'Peanuts'' creator, Charles M. Schulz."

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
May 1, 1928. v 1,668,360
c. D. FISHER TOY VEHICLE FiledrJune 13, 1925 Patented May 1, 1928.
UNITED STATES 1,668,3titl PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES 1). FISHER, or BEACON, new YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE TOY xnorrnns, me,
' on NEW YORK, N. Y., A conronn'rron on NEW YORK.
Application filed June 13, 1925.' Serial No. 36,949.
This invention relates particularly to toy vehicles; and the primary object is to provide a toy vehicle which is extremely simple in construction, which is strong and durable, and which can be readily assembled and disassembled by a child.
The invention is illustrated in its preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawing, in which- Fig. 1 represents a side elevational view of a toy vehicle embodying the invention; Fig. 2, a side elevational view of a blocklike body employed; Fig. 3, a plan View of the rollers for mounting the body; Fig. l, a bottom plan view of the body; Fig. 5, a rear end elevational View of the vehicle shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 6, a side elevational view of a slightly different form of vehicle; Fig. 7, a side elevational View of the body shown in Fig. 6; Fig. 8, a plan view of the rollers for supporting the body shown in Fig. 7 Fig. 9, a broken sectional view illustrating a modified form of roller; and Fig. 10, a broken section of another modification.
Referring to the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive, A represents a vehicle body; B represents the rear roller; and C represents the front roller. 7
The body may be of any suitable design. In the form illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive, the vehicle has the conventional form of a tractor, or simple form of a locomotive. The vehicle may be painted in a manner to suggest still further the appearance of a tractor, or locomotive, or may be ornamented in any desired manner.
The body A preferably comprises a block 1 having its underside provided with spaced transverse front and rear concavitics 2 and 3 which are adapted to afford bearings for and suitably space the rollers. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the body is provided with a top 4- whose front end projects over a space 5 afforded by cutting away the front upper portion of the block. A pin, or circular member, 6 extends from the depressed portion of the block through the projecting portion of the top 4;, the member 6 simulating a smoke stack.
Each of the rollers B and C comprises preferably an axle 7 and wheels 8 formed integrally therewith.
The body may be formed wholly of wood. The top i may comprise a board which is suitably shaped and nailed to the top of the block '1. Each roller may be turned as an integral structure from a block of wood. The wheels 8 are spaced apart a suitable distance to accommodate freely the block 1. The wheels may be beveled slightly at their inner sides, as indicated at 8.
The body is demountably carried by the rollers. It. is lowered upon the axles with the concavities of the body embracing the axles and thus spacing them. The wheels serve to confine the body freely between them.
In the modification shown in Figs. 6 to 8 inclusive, A represents the vehicle body; B, the rear roller; and C, the front roller. The
body is provided in its underside with transverse. concavities 2 and 3 which serve to receive the front and rear rollers. In this case, the body comprises substantially a. rectangular block of wood. This may be painted to represent a portable animal cage, and the whole vehicle may have the appearance of a circus wagon.
If desired, any suitable number of vehicles may be connected to form a train.
In Fig. 9, B represents brokenly a modilied form of roller. This comprises an axle 9 equipped at its extremities with rollers 9 (one shown) secured in place by caps 9. However, it is preferred to form each axle and its wheels integrally, as previously de scribed. 1
It will be readily understood that the vehicle may be made of any suitable material,
and may be given any desired design. The embodiments illustrated are simple, and afford a staunch and durable construction. A young child may readily learn to dismount the body and remount it upon the rollers. The vehicle may be pushed, or drawn, along the floor. Usually, the child prefers to push it, and much of the amusement afforded the child arises from the fact that the body is readily demountable and requires the exercise of a moderate amount of ingenuity and care to effect the reassembly.
The axles are relatively large, each axle and its wheels resembling a large Wooden spool.
In the modification shown on a reduced scale in Fig. 10, A represents a block-like body provided with concavities 10, receiving cylindrical rollers 10 (one shown). The body comprises a main block 10 in the lower side of which the concavities 10 are out; and
sidestrips 10 nailed to the main block and closing the ends of the concavities. The rollers 10 are thus confined against axial movement by the strips 10.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom.
What I regard as new and desire to se- 10 cure by Letters Patent, is:

At Pets for Patriots, we're offering new ways to connect veterans with last-chance pets as part of a major relaunch in celebration of our two-year anniversary. Since receiving our not-for-profit status, Pets for Patriots has transformed more than 100 lives of pet and person through our honorable adoption program. Veterans who have benefited from our charity range from a young Air Force couple who saved a three-legged Great Dane to a 90 year-old WWII veteran whose adoption of a little dog named Gizmo was a one-in-a-million event. Since its launch, Pets for Patriots has started its program … [Read more...]
National Adopt a Senior Pet month helps older pets find new homes
November is National Adopt a Senior Pet month, during which time the benefits of senior pet adoption are promoted by shelters, rescues and humane societies around the country. At Pets for Patriots, we focus on adult and other "at risk" shelter pets year-round because we know that while many people think they're less adoptable, they often make the best companions. So what makes a pet a senior? While there's no absolute standard, many animal welfare organizations and veterinary specialists consider a dog or cat to be a senior citizen after five years of age; for others it's seven and older. … [Read more...]
Road home: shelter dog celebrates new lease on life
This is the story of Kip, a member of the Indiana Air National Guard, who honorably adopted his shelter dog Céilidh (pronounced Kay-lee) through Pets for Patriots. Kip and his wife knew they wanted another dog to help ease the blow when their beloved Tess would be gone. It was during one of Tess' last veterinary appointments that Kip learned about Pets for Patriots. "Tess was not active anymore because she was so old," says Kip, "we knew Tess was close to the end. Our vet mentioned that if the time came when we were interested in having another dog, that Pets for Patriots would be a … [Read more...]
A veteran, a dog and one amazing tale
If you spend much time with a war veteran discussing his experience, he will invariably mention how the worst part of it was losing so many of his best friends. And, if you listen to a pet owner discuss losing a pet, you will hear a similar refrain: "I feel like I've lost my best friend." It's a sentiment tinged with sadness and loneliness – a sense of loss and being lost. Tim Peterman knows both all too well. As a veteran of WWII who recently lost his beloved Shih-Tzu, Gizmo, he didn't know what to do with himself without his buddy. He lost his bearings. His daughter, Sandra, saw the pain. … [Read more...]
One dollar instant art benefits military charities
One dollar is all it takes to change a life. Support a military family. Benefit a military charity. Make a house a home. Just one dollar. Recently we received a proposal from an innovative young woman who features an interview with a military wife each week on her blog. Through this experience, she learned that most of these women and their families survive on one income from the military. Their husbands' salaries don't come with a budget for "art" - or anything remotely close. They struggle to afford the basics and are left with little or nothing left over for extras. Beauty simply isn't in … [Read more...]
Stigma and superstition plague black pets
Pity the black dog or black cat waiting when it comes to pet adoption; they have an additional challenge: Black Dog/Black Cat Syndrome. There are many myths, superstitions and stigmas surrounding cats and dogs of the darkest color. For instance, did you know that a black cat crossing your path from right to left is bad luck, but from left to right is said to be good? Were you aware that, according to ancient folklore, the apparitions of black dogs were believed to be the unquiet ghosts of wicked souls? Did you know as well that here and now, in modern times, black dogs and cats are the last … [Read more...]
Three's family with three-legged dog
Astrid is a three-legged special needs dog honorably adopted by two Air Force service members, Kristina and Johnathon. Her story illustrates why Pets for Patriots is so committed to the adoption of last-chance pets by military families. Our thanks to Kristina for sharing their story with us. I met my husband through the Air Force. We are both enlisted currently stationed at Langley. We fell in love instantly and just work well together. I recently lost my grandmother who was like a mother to me. I was heartbroken. Not long after I had to have surgery on my ankle, resulting in three screws … [Read more...]
What is the difference between a companion pet and a service animal?
At Pets for Patriots, we get calls from service members, veterans and their caregivers requesting our help to secure service dogs, usually for PTSD. But when we ask if the individual would be better served by a well-mannered companion dog or cat, we're always asked, "What's the difference?" We're so glad you asked. First, a little context. According to the Defense Department, more than 46,000 U.S. military personnel have been wounded in action in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars since March, 2003. The incidence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), depression … [Read more...]
Military suicide: one death is too many
The U.S. military recognizes September as Suicide Prevention Month to boost awareness of warning signs and knowledge of how to help those in crisis.

Nearly one thousand former soldiers receiving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs attempt suicide every month. 2 Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death among Americans and the second leading cause of death in the military.

Provide students with an opportunity to reinforce knowledge of sounds with this tactile learning activity.
Prior to opening this lesson, have a small sandbox available. If one is not accessible, students can line a recycled cardboard box with a plastic garbage bag and fill the lined box with clean sand. Students will also need a few 3" x 5" index cards and Crayola® Washable Markers.
Provide the class with two decks of index cards. The first deck will have all 26 capital letters. The second deck will have all 26 lower-case letters.
Open a conversation with students about letters and the sounds they make. Have the students select one letter card. It can be an upper-case or lower-case letter. Ask students to illustrate how the letter is created by drawing it in their box of sand. Observe students' process of creating the letter. Provide assistance as needed.
Once students have successfully create the selected letter in their sand, ask them to write the letter on one of their blank index cards using Crayola Washable Markers. Cover the index card letter with Crayola School Glue. Place the card in the sandbox and sprinkle sand on the glue. Allow the glue to dry overnight.
Once all glue is dry, bring the class back together and ask for words that begin, end, or contain the letter drawn. Write student contributions on a class white board using Crayola Dry Erase Markers.

U.S. law gives tribes new authority over non-Indians
Statute opens door for prosecuting domestic violence
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — American Indian tribes have tried everything from banishment to charging criminal acts as civil offenses to deal with non-Indians who commit crimes on reservations.
Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that tribal courts lack criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians, tribes have had to get creative in trying to hold that population accountable. They acknowledge, though, that those approaches aren't much of a deterrent, and say most crimes committed by non-Indians on tribal land are not punished.
Tribal leaders are hoping that will change, at least in part, with a federal bill signed into law last week. The measure gives tribes the authority to prosecute non-Indians for a set of crimes limited to domestic violence and violations of protecting orders.
Implementation of the Violence Against Women Act will take time as tribes amend their legal codes and ensure defendants receive the same rights offered in state and federal courts. But proponents say it's a huge step forward in the face of high rates of domestic violence with no prosecution.
"For a tribal nation, it's just absurd that (authority) doesn't exist," said Sheri Freemont, director of the Family Advocacy Center on the Salt River Pima Maricopa reservation in Arizona. "People choose to either work, live or play in Indian Country. I think they should be subject to Indian Country rules."
Native American women suffer incidents of domestic violence at rates more than double national averages. But more than half of cases involving non-Indians go unprosecuted because Indian courts have lacked jurisdiction and because federal prosecutors often have too few resources to try cases on isolated reservations.
Still, the tribal courts provision was a major point of contention in Congress, with some Republicans arguing that subjecting non-Indians to Indian courts was unconstitutional.
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., said after its passage that the bill denies basic protections and will be tied up in court challenges for years.
"It violates constitutional rights of individuals and would, for the first time ever, proclaim Indian tribes' 'inherent' authority to exercise criminal jurisdiction over non-Indian citizens," Hastings said in a statement. "The Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that tribes do not have this authority."
The U.S. Department of Justice met with tribal leaders to discuss implementing the provisions, which will take effect two years after the law is enacted. A pilot project would allow any tribe that believes it has met the requirements to request an earlier start date.
To ease concerns that the new authority would violate the constitutional rights of a non-Indian or that jurors in tribal court would be unfair, the bill allows defendants to petition a federal court for review. A tribe would have jurisdiction over non-Indians when that person lives or works on the reservation, and is married to or in a partnership with a tribal member.
About 77 percent of people living in American Indian and Alaska Native areas are non-Indian, according to a recent Census report. Roughly half of Native American women are married to non-Indians, the Justice Department has said.
Although tribes have civil jurisdiction over non-Indians, they often are reluctant to go forward with a case when the penalty amounts to a fine and offenders have little incentive to pay it. The hope in taking on criminal cases is that incidents of domestic violence will be quelled before they lead to serious injury or death, and that victims won't be afraid to report them.
"Having the ability to do it local and have the prosecution start soon after the offense, that's just going to be great for our victims," said Fred Urbina, chief prosecutor for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in southern Arizona.
