Evaluation Report
Redekop Chopper
A Co-operative Program Between
MANUFACTURER & DISTRIBUTOR: Redekop Chaff Systems Box 178A, R.R. 4 Saskatoon, SK S7K 3J7 Phone: (306)931-6664 RETAIL PRICE: $4995.00 (May, 1993, f.o.b. Humboldt, Saskatchewan), Model 50, suitable for mounting on a John Deere 7720 Titan II combine.
It should be noted that the chopper tested was a prototype. The production units have their own chaff delivery systems suited to the individual combine models. Also, key areas have been strengthened by using heavier and superior materials. With regard to the recommendations: 1. Production models for conventional combines can now be converted to dropping straw in minutes without removing the chopper. For rotary combines, it must be swung to the side and lifted off. 2. An easily adjustable knife bar, which swivels to any desired position is now standard equipment. 3. Possiblities for checking loss are being investigated. 4. Pulley guards are standard equipment on all production choppers. 5. A complete operator's manual will be supplied with all choppers.
The Redekop Chopper (FIGURE 1) mounts at the rear of a combine and chops and spreads both straw and chaff (see APPENDIX I for applicable combines). The chopper may also be used to chop and blow straw and chaff into a collection wagon. The chopper evaluated was a prototype. The design was the same as production units but was built with lighter material. A chaff conveying pan was not available at the time of testing. The one used was built by PAMI. Also, at the time of the evaluation, an operator's manual was not available. The rotor is transversely mounted. Hammer supports are welded to the rotor tube. The hammers are attached to the supports by a single bolt, which allows the hammers to pivot. The hammers consist of an arm with the pivot at one end and a paddle fixed to the outer end (FIGURE 2). The knife consists of a row of sickle sections along the bottom of the housing.
FIGURE 1. Redekop Chopper.
Quality of Work: Material flow through the chopper was very good. No plugging or bridging occurred. Some tough straw wedged between vanes which only affected spread. Straw and chaff spreading was excellent. Spread width was typically 35 to 40 ft (10.7 to 12.2 m). Straw and chaff were spread with desirable uniformity. Quality of cut was excellent. Dry straw was cut into 3 to 6 in (76 to 152 mm) lengths. Tough straw was also effectively cut. Rate of Work: The Redekop chopper easily handled all of the straw and chaff from the John Deere 7720 combine in all crops. Ease of Operation and Adjustment: Ease of installation was good. Mounting took two people about 3 hours. A lifting device was required. Ease of spreader adjustment was good. The vanes were positioned to set spread uniformity while tail plate angle was adjusted to set the spread width. Ease of adjusting the combine was good. The chopper was hinged and could be swung away to access to the shoe. Checking grain loss was difficult as samples from the shoe or walkers could not be easily collected. Ease of servicing was excellent. Only checking belt tension was required. Power Requirements: The power to drive the Redekop chopper in tough wheat was 35 hp (26 kW). Safety: All combine choppers and spreaders are potentially dangerous. Three decals were provided. No guard for the driven pulley was available. Operator's Manual: No operator's manual was available. Mechanical History: Hammers contacted the inlet sheet metal. The sheet metal was reformed and welded.

It is recommended that the manufacturer consider: 1. Modifications to permit easier removal to allow dropping straw for baling. 2. Modifications to permit easier and more convenient knife adjustment. 3. Modifications that would allow checking combine losses. 4. Supplying guards for the driven pulley. 5. Supplying an operator's manual. Senior Engineer: J.D. Wassermann Project Manger: L.G. Hill Project Engineer: S.J. Grywacheski
The straw falls directly into the chopper. Chaff is fed into the chopper by either a conveyor or a reciprocating chaff conveying pan. The unique design of the hammers enable the chopper to also act as a fan. Air and light chaff are drawn into the front of the chopper. The hammers pull in the straw and heavy chaff. The mechanical force of the hammers combine with the air to discharge the material. As material exits the chopper, the tail plate and the cupped vanes control the spread width and uniformity. The chopper is belt driven. The spreader body is hinged on the right side and swings away from the combine for access to the shoe adjustments. No shaft speed sensor was supplied. Detailed specifications for the Redekop are given in APPENDIX I.
The prototype chopper evaluated by PAMI was configured as described in this General Description, FIGURE 1, and Specifications section of this report. The manufacturer may have built different configurations of this machine before or after PAMI tests. Therefore,
when using this report, check that the machine under consideration is the same as the one reported here. If differences exist, assistance can be obtained from PAMI or the manufacturer to determine changes in performance. The Redekop Chopper was mounted on a John Deere 7720 Titan II combine. It was operated in conditions shown in TABLE 1 for about 41 hours. During this time, measurements and observations were made to evaluate the spreader for rate of work, quality of work, ease of operation and adjustment, power requirements and operator safety.

FIGURE 4 shows the combined straw and chaff spread pattern. It also shows the material concentrations across the spread that would be typical for a 50 bu/ac (3.4 t/ha) wheat crop (MOG/G = 1)*, when the spread and cut widths are closely matched. APPENDIX II provides a guideline for crop residue ratings.
Spread width and distribution patterns were developed in lab conditions. The combine was positioned on a gridded concrete floor. The combine remained stationary while the chopper discharged material onto the floor. Distribution patterns were developed by gathering and weighing the material from each grid area. Developing distribution patterns on a concrete floor resulted in some skidding when heavy material hit the floor with considerable sideways velocities. Thus, slightly narrower patterns will result in the field.
FIGURE 4. Typical Spread Pattern Uniformity for Straw and Chaff Combined.
QUALITY OF WORK Straw and Chaff Handling: Material flow through the chopper was very good. Straw and chaff did not bridge or plug at the inlet. The chaff conveying pan did not restrict the transfer of chaff from the shoe to the chopper. The inlet suction pulled in light airborne material keeping the shoe discharge relatively clean of chaff. The hammers aggressively grabbed straw and chaff. Centrifugal action along with air velocities of about 49 ft/s (15 m/s) resulted in high material exit velocities. The material discharged in a thin, compact stream, which flowed smoothly under the tail plate and across the distribution vanes. With the fourth vane set to the most outward position, tough straw wedged between the fourth and fifth vanes (FIGURE 3). Although this did not plug the chopper, the spread pattern was affected.
The distribution pattern of the Redekop Chopper in FIGURE 4 shows that straw and chaff could be spread up to 42 ft (12.8 m). Total concentrations were in the desirable range when the width of cut was similar to the spread width. Higher yields, wider widths of cuts and over-lapping spreads would increase the concentrations while lower yields would reduce the concentrations. In the field, typical spread widths were between 36 to 40 ft (11.0 to 12.2 m) when using a 7 in (178 mm) diameter pulley on the chopper (FIGURE 5). The material was spread to desirable uniformity. Finely chopped straw slightly reduced the spread width, but resulted in very uniform distribution. With the chopper set to spread greater than 25 ft (7.6 m) the spread pattern was noticeably affected by wind. To reduce rowing at outer edges for spread widths greater than 25 ft (7.6 m), the third and fourth (from centre) distribution vanes were adjusted. The fourth vane was adjusted outward and the third was adjusted inward. This prevented the two streams from merging. Adjusting the chopper spread to 25 ft (7.6 m) or less greatly reduced the effect of wind. Spread uniformity was also greatly affected when operating on side slope of 3° or more. This resulted from the straw concentrating on the low side as the straw fell from the straw walkers to the chopper. The result was a spread pattern with a dense row of straw on the low side.
FIGURE 5. Typical Field Spread Pattern. FIGURE 3. Tough Wheat Straw Wedged Between Fourth and Fifth Distribution Vanes.
Spreading: Straw and chaff spreading was excellent. Chaff and straw spreading is a key part of good soil management. Heavy concentration or rows of chaff and/or straw can cause difficulty is subsequent tillage and seeding operations. Heavy concentrations may also cause slow soil warming, nitrogen depletion or toxic buildup. Ideally, all crop residue should be redistributed evenly over the field. This seldom happens. To get the most effective spread, it is necessary to match cutting and spreading widths closely. It is important that the spreader provide suitable spread uniformity over the spread width.
The maximum spread could be increased to 47 ft (14.3 m) under ideal conditions by using a 6 in (152 mm) diameter pulley on the chopper. The smaller pulley increased chopper speed from 2350 to 2650 rpm and increased spread width slightly. The smaller pulley resulted in significant belt slip at feedrates of 700 lb/min (19.0 t/h). This was above the maximum operating range of this combine, but may occur on larger combines. Quality of Cut: Quality of cut was excellent. Straw at about 10% moisture was cut in lengths of about 3 to 6 in (76 to 152 mm). The cut length increased with straw moisture.
*MOG/G refers to the weight of Material-Other-than-Grain divided by the weight of grain. A value of 1 means that for every unit weight of MOG there is an equivalent weight of grain. Page 3
FIGURES 6 and 7 shows the cut length for the Redekop and a typical chopper, in green, tough wheat straw, which had been severely frozen. In this crop, considerably more straw from the Redekop chopper fell through the stubble right away than did the straw from the typical chopper.

RATE OF WORK The Redekop chopper easily handled all the material from the John Deere 7720 Titan II combine in all crops. MOG feedrates at times were in excess of 700 lb/min (19.0 t/h). With the chopper installed, combine loss performance was unchanged. The chopper power required reduced maximum feedrate attainable. However, but not below the normal operating feedrates where grain loss was acceptable was not affected. EASE OF OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT Installation: Ease of installation was good. Specific instructions were not available for mounting the chopper. However, mounting was straightforward. It took 2 people about 3 hours to install the chopper. The mounting bracket was easily attached, although, two holes did not line up and had to be elongated. A lifting device was necessary to aid attaching the chopper to the mounting frame as the chopper with the tail plate weighed 558 lb (253 kg). The existing combine chopper drive was used, although a slightly longer belt was required. Chopper Adjustment: Ease of adjustment was good. Eight vanes on the tail plate were adjusted using small hand tools. Two were not adjustable. Once the vanes were set to achieve a desired straw and chaff distribution behind the combine, they were seldom moved. The tail plate angle was adjusted by turn buckles on either side. These adjustments also required hand tools. Raising and lowering the tail plate effectively controlled spread widths. Raising the tail plate increased spread width while lowering reduced the width. However, raising the tail plate directed more fine material into the air (FIGURES 8 and 9). With a tail wind this material was blown over the combine. The chopper was heavy and difficult to remove for windrowing straw. It is recommended that the manufacturer consider modifications to permit easier removal to allow dropping straw for baling. Removal of the knife was quick and easy with the aid of hand tools. However, once removed, it was no longer attached to the chopper for storage. Reinstalling the knife was difficult since some of the knives did not line up and had to be pried into place. It is recommended that the manufacturer consider modifications to permit easier, more convenient knife adjustment. Combine Adjustments: Ease of combine adjustment was good.
Page 4
The chopper body was hinged and swung away from the rear of the combine to provide access to the shoe. Checking grain loss was not possible. Individual samples from the shoe or walkers of the John Deere 7720 combine could not be collected. It is recommended that the manufacturer consider modifications that would allow checking combine losses. Servicing: Ease of servicing was excellent. No greasing was required. The drive belt tightener was spring loaded and required only occasional inspection. Cleaning: Ease of cleaning was excellent. With the aid of a blower or broom the top of the chopper and tail plate was easily cleaned. The high air volumes through the chopper kept the inside clean. POWER REQUIREMENTS At a rotor speed of 2350 rpm with no material passing through the chopper, power consumption was 12 hp (9.0 kW). This power was primarily used to move air. The average power required to drive the Redekop Chopper in tough wheat straw, at about 25% moisture, was about 35 hp (26.1 kW) at typical feedrates for the John Deere 7720 Titan II. The power requirements varied with load. Lighter loads and drier straw will reduce power requirements. Removing the knife reduced power requirements by 5 to 10 hp (3.7 to 7.5 kW). Increasing chopper speed from 2350 to 2650 rpm increased power requirements by 5 to 10 hp (3.7 to 7.5 kW). SAFETY All combine choppers and spreaders are potentially dangerous. Material discharged can reach velocities that can cause serious injury or death. Extreme caution is required at all times when working near operating choppers or spreaders. It is especially important when working near choppers that discharge closer to head height. The Redekop chopper did have three caution decals warning of rotating blades. They were too small to be effective if the chopper was operating. At the time of the evaluation, no guard was provided for the driven pulley. It is recommended that the manufacturer consider supplying guards for the driven pulley. OPERATOR'S MANUAL No operator's manual was available. It is recommended that the manufacturer supply an operator's manual. MECHANICAL HISTORY The intent of the test was to evaluate functional performance. Extended durability testing was not conducted. The mechanical problems that occurred during functional testing were noted. The chopper evaluated was a prototype and was made of lighter sheet metal than production models.
At 38 hours, the hammers contacted the inlet sheet metal causing some of the welds to fracture. The sheet metal was bent away from the rotor and rewelded. On final inspection, 0.025 in (0.64 mm) wear was found on both the hammer pivot hole and bolt.
APPENDIX II CROP RESIDUE CONCENTRATION RATINGS Conclusive scientific research could not be located to rate the impact of different concentrations of crop residue. However, field experience has provided basic information in this area. The following explains the development of ratings used by PAMI in this report. In Western Canada, a typically high wheat yield is about 50 bu/ac (3.4 t/ha). These crops usually have at least an equal amount of Material-Other-than-Grain(MOG). In such crops, when very dry, some combines can put up to 35% of the MOG over the cleaning shoe (i.e. chaff). Conversely, if conditions are tougher, the amount of chaff goes down, and up to 85% of the MOG from the combine is straw. When chaff is dropped directly behind the combine, the accumulation is very noticeable. However, chaff spread over 40% of the width of cut appears acceptable, while spreading over 50% of the width of cut is desirable. Straw typically appears acceptable when spread over 70% of the width of cut, while spreading over 80% of the width of cut is desirable. The following table shows approximate concentrations of chaff, straw or a combination, which could occur at various levels in the 50 bu/ac (3.4 t/ha) crop described. These concentrations can be used as a guide for maximum concentrations in other yields also. CONCENTRATION lb/yd² (gm/m²)

- Bacon, John† Catholic_Encyclopedia ► John Bacon(Johannes Anglicus, Johannes De Baconthorpe).An English Carmelite and theologian, born towards the end of the thirteenth century at the place in the county of Norfolk whence he derives his name; died in London, 1346. He is not to be con founded with Francis de Bachone, the Spanish Carmelite, reader of divinity in Paris from 1362 Procurator General, 1366, doctor, 1369, Provincial of Catalonia (d. circa 1390), doctor sublimis. John Bacon, surnamed doctor resolutus, entered the order at Snitterley, Norfolk, studied at Oxford and Paris, was bachelor previous to 1321, and master in 1325. From 1329 till 1333 he was Provincial of England; the remainder of his life was consecrated to study. He possessed a penetrating mind, and wrote on all the subjects belonging to the ordinary course of studies. His writings comprised more than one hundred and twenty volumes, but are for the greater part lost. The most celebrated among them were those on the Gospels, especially St. Matthew, on St. Paul, and the commentary on the "Sentences," which was printed in 1510 at Milan, and for a time became the textbook in the Carmelite Order. Bacon follows Averroes in preference to St. Thomas with whom he disagrees on many points. He adopted a system of Realism according to which the universals do not follow but precede the act of the intellect. Truth is materially and causally in the external object, formally in the intellect; in the order of generation and perfection the first subject is the individual substance; although the external object is in itself intelligible, the active intellect is required to render it ultimately intelligible; the conformity of the thing thought with the external object constitutes truth. The final cause of all things is God; but although the first object of our knowledge be the Divine essence Bacon does not admit that this knowledge comes to us by the light of our natural reason; it is, in his opinion, a supernatural gift of grace.B.

Thursday, May 7th 2015. Aaron Humes Reporting: Art is considered part of a nation's culture. But is popular culture art as well? A group of young artists have banded together to exhibit their works which depict their views of popular culture – everything from ladies' handbags to the recent boxing clash between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
We spoke to lead artist Kenisha Goodings, who is making her local debut after first exhibiting at this year's Women in Art exhibition, about her work and the confluence of art and culture.
According to Goodings, culture is unifying and the group of ten artists used various media – pastel and other painting, chalking, live display and others – to present their views on current popular culture.
Goodings describes one of her exhibited pieces, a shadowed painting of a woman slipping below what appears to be sea waves, as her first contribution to the world of art. She says she works every day at her passion and wants all of Belize to see her work.
Other participating artists are Amir Smith, Marvin Vernon, Arjenis Ruiz, Shellby Castillo, Shernell Whittaker, Keron Griffith, Elton Silva, Jonathan Flores, Damian Perdomo and Briheda Haylock. The Culture Uncovered exhibit kicks off at the Factory on Friday night, May 8, at 6:00 p.m. and runs for two weeks.

My pooch has never felt more at home with a sitter! She felt so comfortable that she ate all her food (which is usually a struggle while I'm away) and had no issues whatsoever. She even made the rounds saying goodbye to everyone before we left. I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received and will be back again soon!
Our pup Bailey had a wonderful time with Bryanna and her pups. She sent lots of great pictures throughout the weekend. We feel fortunate to have found her and would highly recommend her.

I am a new real estate investor researching Philadelphia to find where I want to start investing. I have been told my a lot of investors to start with a duplex rather than a single family. Do you guys think a duplex is the best way to start out?? Thanks

There are pros and cons. The nice thing about a duplex is it does provide a little diversification. If one side stops paying rent, you still have the other side to pay rent. However, you can still get this diversification with buying two properties. Just depends on personal preference in my opinion.

It really does depend. With most multis (2-4 units) you may very well get a higher turnover of tenants then you would with SFR. On the other hand with the multi you may get somewhat higher rent to price ratios and a better cash flow, at least until you start counting in the vacancy rate. In Philly I prefer the SFRs.

Let me throw one more thought into this mix.
I would suggest you start by determining your short term and long term goals for investing. Then determine how involved you want to be in your real estate business. Are you the type that wants to park your money and let it work for you (passive income) without you having to put in the daily effort. then a duplex or larger would probably be more to your liking. If you purchase right, you will generate enough cash flow to pay all the expenses (including a management company) and net some cash for yourself. If you are more hands on, then maybe a single family house that you manage yourself will more to your for you.
As a side note, if you ever consider Section 8 housing, a SFH in Philly will rent a like quicker than a multi-family unit. Simply because many Section 8 eligible tenants are families of 3 or more and are usually looking for 3 beds and up.

tv NBC Bay Area News at 6 NBC January 24, 2013 6:00pm-7:00pm PST
6:00 pm
thanks for joining us. i'm diane dwyer. >> i'm janelle wang. after years of dreary budget news, the governor delivered what some say is the most upbeat state of the state address in years. instead of warnings of doom and gloom, governor jerry brown says the state's on solid financial ground. nbc bay area's jody hernandez was at the capitol for this morning's speech. does this mean we're out of the woods? >> reporter: well, the governor says the state certainly needs to keep its spending in check, but he says california has done the impossible, turned things around and he intends to keep it moving in the right direction. >> this is my 11th year on the job. i've never been more excite. >> reporter: al optimistic governor brown says the state's back on track. after years of budget deficits, the state's finally in the black
6:01 pm
and brown says he intends to keep it that way. >> this means living within our means and not spending what we don't have. >> reporter: in his 11th state of the state address, he laid out his ideas for the second half of his term, including enhancing trade with china, improving the state's water system and moving forward with high-speed rail. >> i signed the original high speed rail authority in 1982. more than 30 years ago. in 2013, we finally break ground and start construction. >> the governor also keyed in on education, pledging to bring more money to schools in low income districts and vowing to do what he can to keep college costs in check. >> but tuition increases are not the answer. i'm not going to let the students of california become the default financiers of our colleges and universities. >> when you consider what we faced four years ago and two years ago, i'm smiling. >> democrats say they like what they heard.
6:02 pm
but some say restoring money to social service programs was noticeably missing. >> the governor had a message of restraint, but i also think that we need a message of restoration, and i think we can do some restoration to that safety net. >> republican who have seen their power stripped by the new democratic super majority in both houses toned down their criticism and say they like the governor's fiscally conservative approach. >> the devil's in the details and that's where some disagreements may come into play but the overarching goals and what we're talking about, i agree with him. fiscal discipline. there was a lot of good stuff in that speech. >> reporter: now, missing today was a scathing criticism from the opposing party, the senate republican leader says he likes the governor's commitment to the reducing debt and creating a rainy day fund. however, he says he would like to have heard some solid ideas for job creation. reporting live at the state capitol, i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> thank you.
6:03 pm
the governor was very positive today in his state of the state. right now we want to bring in larry gur sten. what was your take away about the tone of the governor's speech today? >> it was very upbeat, much like the talk we had a couple of weeks ago. clearly he believes california is back. that's exactly how he ended his talk. the budget is balanced and as he said, we're on the move. look, it also was a speech about limits. brown promised never to let the state get into the kind of boom and bust situation mentality, if you will, that dominated the state for the past what, couple of decades. that's another point. brown advocated trimming education rules that emphasized measurement over learning, sure to please the educational constituency and he pushed to loosen the california environmental quality act regulations. that's sure to please businesses for sure. so environmentalists on the other hand, not so sure. so a little bit for almost
6:04 pm
everyone. >> interesting. all right. what are the governor's greatest challenges coming up now? >> well, continuing to push for high speed rail. something that he originally endorsed in 1982. getting environmentalists and farmers to come together. a little kumbiya on the prifral tunnel as it's now called, a $14 billion project to move water around the san joaquin delta. and finally overcoming the concerns of teacher unions and suburban democratic legislators in his supplemental funding proposal to provide extra state funding for poor performing schools in areas where english is a second language and poverty an bounds. >> speak of kumbiya, brown has a supermajority in the assembly and the senate. will the democrats feel compelled to do what he wants to do? >> yeah, for the most part, yeah. okay. that will said, two major ob obstacles remain. the first would be the legislature's tendency to save less and spend more. we know about that, particularly with social welfare programs
6:05 pm
that have been decimated over the past few years to balance the budget. the second challenge will come from powerful interest groups. environmentalists, agribusiness, teacher associations, business organizations to name a few who see the governor's proposals as harmful to their own interests. so simply put, yeah, today's address sure, it was the governor's first step toward restoring the golden state's luster, but it remains to be seen just how sthoon vision will be tarnished by many powerful opponents. >> oh, yes, it should be interesting. thanks a lot, larry. and still ahead, can the governor really deliver on his bold agenda? we'll take a look to see what is realistic in our reality check coming up at 6:30. >> now to a follow-up to the attempted kidnapping that was caught on surveillance video. you saw that video here first on nbc bay area. police are looking for the man who tried to kidnap the young girl as she was walking to school. tonight, we hear from the girl's
6:06 pm
family who spoke only to nbc bay area. reporter damian trujillo is live at the scene in san jose. how is the girl doing tonight? >> doing much better tonight, obviously traumatized by this whole ordeal. but the family says if she ever sees this would be kidnapper again, she would be able to identify her attacker. >> see a little shadow of something right here. >> a neighbor's surveillance cameras caught these grainy images of the attempted kidnapping. it happened behind the car in the screen. the girl fought off her would be kidnapper before running away. [ speaking foreign language ] >> the victim was running to this woman's house, she always gave the girl a ride to school with her daughter. she says the man in then sketch followed the 13-year-old from san antonio street about a quarter mile away. >> how is the girl? >> the victim lived with her aunt, mario almeda. she says the victim is doing
6:07 pm
better but still traumatized by the attack and now moved with her mother in fresno. >> almeda says she wished there were more cops patrolling the streets especially while kids are on their way to school. neighbors haven't seen the man in the sketch before but they warn him tonight. >> he came to the wrong hood to do that, first of all, he is a sick gentleman doing that. and he's probably very lucky that i did not get ahold of him before the police does. >> even though she's traumatized, she says if she sees his picture, the victim can still finger the man who attacked her. and the victim would walk every morning in the dark about again about a quarter mile from her home to her ride to school just down the street on east st. james street in san jose. i'm told she was preparing to go to high school next fall. now she'll do that in fresno. i'm damian trujillo.
6:08 pm
>> thank you. we have new information tonight on the second homicide of the year in san jose. police identified the woman who was shot to death yesterday as and nap duong found shot but alive inside her apartment near 101 and tully road but died later at the hospital. neighbors say she was running a small business out of her apartment. family members are now caring for her 12-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter. so far there is no motive and no arrests. also in san jose, lis arrested one suspect in connection with a home invasion robbery and still looking for two others. the three men reportedly forced their way into a home monday night and tied up a couple in their 70s and ransacked the home. they also stole both cars. police say they found those cars yesterday but are still searching for the additional suspects. a surprising twist today into the fbi search for murder victims in an old central valley well. one of the killers claims they're digging in the wrong place. the excavation is so complicated
6:09 pm
it took two weeks of preparation before the digging could begin. investigators are looking for the victims of the so-called speed freak killers who went on a 15-year meth-fueled murder rampage in the '80s and '90s. one of the killers committed suicide, the second drew maps for investigators is directing them to this site. now a stockton report reports sherman tyne has written a letter to one of the agents complaining they're not digging where he told them to. >> still ahead at 6:00, the vice president reaches out to the world using silicon valley technology to talk about gun control. >> plus, a new spin on teaching. what's being done in the south bay to revolutionize the classroom. >> painting the town teal. we'll take you live to the shark tank where fans are lining up for the first home game of this season. >> and good evening. i'm jeff ranieri. live in oakland. are you looking for that new piece of furniture? we're at the epicenter of some major bay area bargains that stretch for thousands of square
6:10 pm
6:12 pm
two silicon valley hot shots are taking your ouellet with them. scott bud mann is here with a pair of jaw dropping numbers. >> this is a follow-up to what we told you yesterday. two tech companies with neck-snapping moves after reporting quarterly earnings. apple selling a record number of iphones and ipads but still falling short of what wall street wanted to hear, losing billions of value today a stock drop of $63 a share. apple now down by a third since september. netflix on the other hand is on fire. a big rise in both subscribers and earnings. a 42% pop in the its stock price today. it has not been this high since september of 2011.
6:13 pm
and more earnings tonight, microsoft reporting a slight dip in profits as it tries to roll out windows 8. microsoft shares down 1.5% after hours. something new from twitter. it's quick like the 140 character updates but it's video. they call it vine. you post videos that last six seconds. meanwhile, the battle over gun control is raging across the nation. today a senator dianne feinstein reintroduced her assault weapon ban, the issue found its way into the chat room. google hosting a hangout on gun control featuring vice president joe biden. >> to end gun violence, once and for all. >> with gun control on the mind of the country -- >> the single best thing we can do is have a national dialogue about this. >> vice president joe biden brought the issue into the chat room. taking part in a google plus hangout to let people know they have a say in where gun control goes from here. >> make your voices heard. that's one of the reasons i wanted to be in this chat. there's tens of thousands of
6:14 pm
people listening to this. i don't care which side of the issue you're on. pick those things that you think can have a positive impact. >> the vice president isn't just talking about guns. he's a gun owner. something he says is foreign the dialogue. >> it is totally a guarantee not negotiable that i'm able to own a weapon. >> also important, taking questions live from parents and educators. >> are you proposing sending more armed guards into schools or having schools hire more mental health professionals? >> we are able to go in and with this proposal and train school personnel to identify aberrant behavior that warrants someone like you a professional looking at it. >> a controversial issue taken online to a social network. vice president biden also saying today he would support a study looking into whether playing video games leads to violent
6:15 pm
behavior. he chatted online for about 45 minutes. diane? >> thanks a lot, scott. months of waiting in anticipation has come down to this, the first home game for the san jose sharks this season. bay area's stephanie strong. >> a lot of happiness. the fans here starting to line up. you see the fans of all ages here. activity really started picking up in the last half hour. so excited for the home opener. tonight's game against the phoenix coits is the first of six home games in a row here at the shark tank. the boys in teal took to the ice today to practice ahead of their first home game, this shortened season. but we spoke with fan who are just ecstatic and caught up with a man who says he used to live in dublin but lives in reno now and fliers all the way here just to see the sharks in their game. >> oh, we're pleased to be back. we've been season ticket holders for 22 years. we're really looking forward to the season getting started
6:16 pm
again. a little tired of this delay in getting everything going. but we're happy to have them back on the ice. >> winning. >> yes, exactly. >> yeah. >> just so exciting to finally be back. it seems like it's been forever. >> reporter: and what you're looking at now is the free hat that every fan here tonight will be getting, everyone who came here to the home opener. pretty cool. the sharks ramping up excitement on twitter saying anyone who tweets their seat location tonight may enjoy a ride on the zamboni. just the icing on the cake for the fans. live at the hp pavilion, stephanie strong. >> thank you, stephanie. check that out. that's a podcast, get it? an l.a. county whale watching expedition hit the jackpot this week when some 23 whales were counted frolicking off palos ver days point. experts are excited saying it's

6:18 pm
and i lived in the bay area for many years. i didn't hear about it. >> where have you been for the last 54 years? >>. i know people at home are going, how did you not know about this? there is something special about this white elephant sale. >> there is. it's all about our donors. our shoppers, but most particularly about our volunteers. we have over 1,000 volunteers that come throughout the year to make this possible. >> yep. and all of the proceeds go right back into the oakland museum of california. so all of these vintage items you might buy, furniture, sporting goods goes right back to the community. that is the great thing. it runs the gamut. if you're looking for that special piece of furniture, maybe an empire table, a set of dresser drawers you've got that behind us. we also have some of the more unique items, right? >> i had to pull this off the shelf, the grandmother in me. it's so shirley temple, right? >> very cute. >> and only $5. >> yes, and then you've been

6:23 pm
take a look at this, a water main broke under the road in greenbrae early this morning near sir francis drake boulevard. the break was capped but about a dozen homes are still without water and might be for some time. chp officers tell us water was shooting six feet into the hour air for about an hour and a half. >> it took hours to change the life of an east bay veteran. 80 volunteers from the home depot foundation converged on the pittsburg home of 29-year-old sean naval.
6:24 pm
he and his wife bought their dream home three years ago with plans to fix it up, but a bullet left him unable to do the renovation. today their mess was transformed with a paved patio, a fire pit and per go la for shade. but there was also some artificial grass which is low maintenance and wheelchair friendly. >> home depot and the company they work with, it's great that they can give back to the community. i know i was in the military and law enforcement, but to see this many people here during this project was just amazing. >> sean and his wife are planning to celebrate their new yard with a huge super bowl party for his extended family and today's volunteers are invited. >> absolutely. air national guardmen from the are deploying to afghanistan and the horn of africa this week. the 75 citizen air mann will be deployed for 4 1/2 months to provide search and rescue support from moffett field. >> our mission is to save lives.
6:25 pm
we're a rescue unit. we're going to go back to afghanistan. our helicopters, our crews will be there for about 41/2 months. and their job is to rescue anybody in need, whether it's u.s. forces, coalition members or afghan nationals. >> in addition to the wartime mission the unit works closely with the coast guard on state missions. >> how one south bay school is turning the tables on the traditional teaching methods to give children more access to technology. >> i'm sam brock. today was a glorious one for california governments. no. governor jerry brown soaked up the praise for a balanced budgets but made some claims that is don't pass the truth test. a reality check coming up next. >> no longer shooting to kill. what could be changing when it comes to control asking mountain lions.
6:28 pm
it's been quite awhile since california received a positive grade on its annual report card but that's essentially what happened today. >> governor jerry brown addressing lawmakers in his state of the state address. he talked about everything california achieved this year including a balanced budget. is there reason to celebrate? in tonight's reality check sam brock puts some of the governor's claims under the microscope. >> we could just steak the governor at his word that california has implemented all kinds of savory cuts and needed tax hikes to improve the financial picture. but then we'd be doing you a disservice because.comrams the governor made today aren't true. >> the honorable edmund g. brown junior. >> there was plenty of applause to go around at the state of the state address on thursday and it came from many different sources. the legislature, featured guests, governor brown himself. >> let's not applaud too much. >> but before the governor goes tooting his own horn, let's hear
6:29 pm
what he tells state lawmakers. >> you cast difficult votes to cut billions from the state's budget. you curbed prison spending through a historic realignment. >> this claim of cost reductions is murky at best. now, technically, the state dropped its corrections budget from $10 billion last year to a projected figure of $9 billion this year. or a drop of 10%. but even if you consider those savings historic, there's more to the governor's claim than meets the eye. >> it's somewhat not honest in many ways because while we have cut the state budget to prisons, we've actually increased the state budget to fund county jails under realignment, which equals $2 billion over the next two years. so if you add bowing of these things together, we're actually spending more on corrections. >> so really, california isn't saving on correction spending at least not yet. governor brown also highlighted his future agenda, lnching a multitunnel construction project
6:30 pm
underneath the sacramento san joaquin delta that would transport water from the north to the southern portions of the state and restore thousands of acres of delta habitat. the governor compared the project's cost to the olympics. >> olympics lasted a short while and cost $14 billion, about the same cost of this project, but this project will serve californians for hundreds of years. >> the problem here is that few estimates put the tunnel proposal at $14 billion. a report published a few months ago by econ northwest, an independent economic consulting group based out of state, put the project's low cost scenario at $21 billion with a high cost scenario approaching 70 billion. we spoke with nick de coachchy, member of an environmental water caucus representing dozens of environmental groups about the project's true costs. >> we estimate the total cost to recover the delta, including the tunnels, is somewhere between $50 billion and $60 billion.
6:31 pm

The abandoned historic building once at the center of gentrification wars, failed development projects and much controversy has been sold — and the porn distributor who is moving in wants to assure the neighborhood that his business will bring positive change to the community.
Built in 1912 to house members of the California National Guard, the 190,000-square-foot armory building at Mission and 14th streets remained abandoned — except for occasional usage — since the Army left it 1975. A private developer purchased the American Gothic-style building, which belonged to the state, in 1986 with the intent of creating housing. However, proposals for the empty building never came to fruition because of community opposition. The massive building became a centerpiece for Mission district gentrification fights during the dotcom boom, with angry residents opposed to a server farm and office space, as well as market-rate housing.
On Dec. 29, it was announced that Web-based porn distributor Kink.com purchased the property for $14.5 million with the intent of using it as a studio for fetish films.
At the Mission Merchants Association meeting Tuesday, several members expressed outrage as to why they were not notified about the "porn palace," being that the building is a block away from a school and in a family-oriented area. Those familiar with the building's history were also baffled at how quickly the process was completed — within two months.
"First of all, the owner sold it out from under those that wanted the armory for housing — and I don't think this business is conducive to the family community in the Mission distinct. It came out of the blue and nothing was discussed, " said Chuck Ayala, who owns the Centro Latino de San Francisco senior center a block away from the armory.
Peter Acworth, founder of Kink.com, told members at the meeting that he was confined to a verbal confidentiality agreement and could not come forward to the community until the private sale was finalized.
The private status of the sale allows Acworth to do anything he wishes with the space that includes a drill room, dungeon-type basements and countless rooms.
Acworth also insisted at the meeting that his use of the building will include an upgrade to the abandoned building with new windows, lights and security to combat crime and the possibility of an assembly permit so that public events may be held in it.
"I think that generally cleaning the outside windows, having an absence of graffiti and lighting up the building will bring a positive effect," Acworth said.
Colleen Meharry, member of the Mission Merchants Association and restaurant consultant, said failed proposals for the building go back as long as she can remember and that the new influx of people to the building might help to deter crime in one of the Mission's most dangerous areas.
"I don't know why the armory never sold before this. If you find Jimmy Hoffa, then you alsoknow what happened to the armory. Any use of the space is better than empty," Meharry said.
