Richmond Bacon Festival!!! - Richmond New In Town Meetup Group (Richmond, VA)
Richmond Bacon Festival!!!
Jun 9, 2013 · 1:45 PM
Please read these instructions carefully, as in the past there are people don't read these important notes and miss on important details. I imagine this place will be super packed, so it will be extremely difficult to find anyone unless you recognize them, or have their phone numbers.
Where: We will meet up at the River City Diner outside entrance! (7 North 17th St) DO NOT wait at Main & 17th corner!!
When: Please be outside River City Diner from 1:45pm-2pm (During that 15 minute window, we will wait for others, meet and greet with each other).
If you are late, after 2pm please text me at [masked] I will tell you where we are all at. What I will be wearing: I can tell you since next Sunday is Game of Thrones' Season Finale. I will be wearing a Game of Thrones T-shirt!
Festival Information Join us for the first annual Richmond Bacon Festival, presented by Devils Backbone Brewery, K95, Rock96.5KLR, and Style Weekly, to benefit Enrichmond. Sample unique bacon-centric dishes from more than 20 of Richmond's most popular restaurants and wash it all down with a selection of 20+ Virginia craft beers from Devils Backbone Brewery and Bold Rock Hard Cider. Live music, local vendors, and more will round out what is sure to be an epically delicious day! Entertainment has been booked. Thanks for the inquiries. Admission to the Festival is FREE! Bacon food samples $3 each Beer and cider $6 each
Michelle The food was good and the vendors were great. I think the only bad thing I had was a sausage from SausageCraft that was a little under cooked. The best thing there was the Buttermilk Chicken, Bacon and Waffle cupcakes. I'm looking for that recipe ASAP. 0 · June 9, 2013 Don Hey no worries if you can not meet us.

Strabismus Simplified (Second Edition)
About this Item: CBS Publishers & Distributors Pvt. Ltd., 2015. Softcover. Condition: New. 2nd edition. Strabismus is a subject that has always been looked with awe and fear due to its complexity. But the problems of binocular vision and ocular motility are the most common to be confronted by the ophthalmologist. Next to cataract surgery, squint surgery is the most common surgery performed by ophthalmic practitioners. There are far fewer facts to memories by rote compared to other specialties. It is more or less like mathematics, which serves all our life, provided we comprehend it. The attempt of this book is to simplify strabismus, demystify the myths surrounding it and make strabismus understood. This edition features a thorough revision of text, profusion of images, and full colour diagrams and clinical pictures. Also included is a CD containing the videos of important surgical procedures on horizontal rectus and the oblique muscles. Printed Pages: 278. Seller Inventory # 91028

Huge whirlpools form off the coast of Japan as devastating tsunami disrupts currents
12/3/2011 16:00
5106815
I feel sorry for all the poor animals caught in this disaster. - sandalwood,----Don't ask me how sandalwood, but the animals usually know that things like this are happening well before the humans do. During the Boxing Day tsunami the Sumatran Tiger Trust said that they didn't lose a single tiger because they had already headed for the hills. It is the human population that needs our help at this time. The people of Japan may be used to earthquakes but this was the sixth largest earthquake ever recorded, with a devastating tsunami; added to this is the risk from the nuclear power plants, particularly as there have been so many aftershocks. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.

Minute-by-minute coverage of parliament's weekly Punch and Judy show from midday
Whatever, her performance certainly did her reputation in the party no harm at all and now, according to some reports, Harman is quietly promoting herself as a possible prime minister in the event of Gordon Brown being forced out of office.
The Daily Mail floated the idea on Monday. At first the story didn't attract much interest, but the Sun has published its own version today, and this morning PoliticsHome says that a majority of its panel of 100 Westminster insiders and pundits thinks she's up to something.
Andrew Rawnsley, the PoliticsHome pundit-in-chief, quotes one respondent as saying: "You know things are bad when Harriet Harman thinks she's got a chance." But another respondent said she was "underestimated", and someone else pointed that she beat Alan Johnson against the odds to win the deputy leadership.
With any luck, if Hague's in a playful mood, we'll find out what she has to say about it soon.
Harriet Harman in the Commons today. Photograph: PA Wire
Harman has arrived. The protesters at her house obviously haven't kept her away.
Norman Baker (Lib Dem) accuses the government of acting like a "wholly owned subsidiary" of BAA.
Harman says the government is consulting on the third runway and has not committed itself to the scheme yet.
Don Touhig (Lab) asks about compensation for miners who suffered from vibration white finger. Harman says a compensation paper on industrial injuries is being proposed today.
Hague wants to know when the government will legislate to increase to £50,000 the amount of bank savings covered by the automatic compensation scheme.
Harman says legislation is in the draft Queen's speech.
Hague says the government committed itself to legislating in this session of parliament. There is cross-party support for it. He says the opposition would help to get the bill onto the statute book.
Harman says all offers of help are very welcome. She moves on to the economy, and says, since Hague is offering economic advice, she feels the need to remind MPs that unemployment, debt and interest rates were all higher when Hague was in the cabinet.
Hague says it's a pity Harman can't answer. "If she wants to be prime minister, she ought to start acting like one." Will Harman come back with a considered response at business questions tomorrow? Harman says she will consult colleagues and that the government will bring forward legislation. On the subject of manoeuvring, why has Hague again manoeuvred Theresa May, the shadow leader of the Commons, out of the PMQs slot?
May should abandon the Tories and join the Church of England and apply to be a bishop, Harman suggests.
Harman pays tribute to NHS staff.
The Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman is greeted by lots of cheering.
Does Harman acknowledge the severity of the crisis in the housing industry, he asks. Will the government build up its "sensible but pathetically small programme for acquiring property" to let out to people in need of social housing? Harman says the situation is of grave concern. The government has taken action, and will take more. She rattles out a list of other measures the government is taking. But the most important thing is for people to be able to stay in work.
Cable says the government's plans are "a drop in the ocean". Instead of lecturing the nation on what to eat for dinner, the prime minister should acknowledge that there is a very deep crisis in the housing market, probably the worst in our lifetimes.
Harman says people in work don't want the opposition to be talking the economy down.
Clive Efford (Lab, Eltham) asks Harman to condemn the mayor for London for not intervening to deal with the knife crime problem in London.
Harman says the important thing is to have the right laws, to enforce them toughly and for agencies to work together.
Alan Reid (Lib Dem) asks about pensioners collecting their pensions through the Post Office. Will the card account contract go to the Post Ofifce?
Harman says she cannot comment on an ongoing procurement process.
John Spellar (Lab) asks if Harman is "surprised" that some people (the Tories) want to revisit the ban on fox-hunting.
Harman says fox-hunting is cruel and that the ban should be properly enforced.
William Hague Is it important for government departments to set an example on not wasting food?
It is important, Harman says. But the prime minister won't take dietary advice from someone who thinks a good diet is 18 pints a day. (It was actually 14.)
Hague replies: "None of that was ever wasted, I can assure you." The only half-decent joke of the session so far.
Then he quotes figures saying the Treasury wasted food. Harman won't rise to the bait.
Hague then says its odd to be lectured on waste "by a prime minister who's past his sell-by date". And he says the house will wish Harman well in her campaign to replace him.
Harman says the prime minister is a man of grit and determination. She thanks Hague for his kind comments. But "it would not be possible" (Harman's becoming PM) because there would not be enough space at all the nation's airports for all the men who would want to leave the country.
Martin Horwood (Lib Dem) asks the prime minister to look into two cases, without telling MPs what they were about. He says prisoners have not been able to access rehabilitation courses in prison.
Harman says that crime is falling, and prison-building is going up.
Nigel Griffiths (Lab) says thousands of students could lose out because of a change to the student grant rules brought in by the SNP in Edinburgh.
Harman has a go at Alex Salmond, the SNP leader, for not turning up at Westminster much (he is an MP as well as an MSP).
Andrew George (Lib Dem, St Ives) says second-home purchases outnumber main-home purchases in his area by three to one.
Sarah McCarthy-Fry (Lab) asks Harman to congratulate a constituent who shares the NHS's birthday.
(I thought they only did birthday requests on Radio 1.)
John Baron (Con) says most coups take place when the party leader is abroad, as his party remembers (Thatcher in Paris). Does Harman need any help?
Harman says he might be in parliament to "ask daft questions", but Labour is in government to address the concerns of the public.
John Randall (Con, Uxbridge) wants to know why the government is asking for an exemption from air-quality-control regulations relating to London.
Harman, who appears to know as little about air-quality regulations as I do, waffles on about a government consultation process. But she then attacks the Tories for being divided over Heathrow. Zimbabwe
Fiona McTaggart (Lab) asks if refugees from Zimbabwe could be allowed to work.
Harman says the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, will hold a meeting on this very subject this afternoon.
John Barrett (Lib Dem) asks about the post office network. He's the second Lib Dem to ask a question about post offices.
Fathers 4 Justice A Labour MP condemns the Fathers 4 Justice campaigners for their "thuggery". Harman agrees.
10p tax rate Harman criticises the Tories for voting against the national minimum wage.
Working men's clubs David Clelland (Lab) says recent legislation has made it harder for working men's clubs to operate. But he does not say what legislation. The smoking ban?
Harman says she will ask Hazel Blears, the communities secretary, to hold a meeting on the subject.
Come back Gordon, all is forgiven! Well, maybe not everything, but it would be worth exercising a huge amount of forgiveness to avoid having to listen to another session like this for a while. It wasn't that Hague or Harman were especially bad; it's just that they did not have anything interesting or new to say on policy, politics or pretty much anything. Harman had some competent attack lines to use against Hague. The only problem was that Hague did not give her a good excuse for using them. For example, in one question he made an aside about Harman wanting to be PM and then moved on to something else. Harman had a convoluted, unfunny line about manoeuvring and Theresa May that she insisted on using, when in fact she would have been better to have ignored it all together. Good public speakers prepare in advance "spontaneous" material. Really good public speakers have the confidence to know when not to use it.
The leadership bid: Harman sounded a tiny bit nervous when delivering her tribute to Brown, and her remarks will not settle one way or the other what she's up to. And the joke about enough airports for men wanting to leave the country was dire. But I suppose it could explain the government's policy on Heathrow expansion.

Having an expensive watch is nice, but there are many situations, from work to recreation, in which having a durable, inexpensive timepiece is a much better idea. If this is your reality, an Ice watch would be a fun and easy addition to your wardrobe. These watches are quite affordable and are made from durable materials like silicone, which are often used to make the colorful straps for these vibrant watches. The Ice brand is noteworthy for its modern designs, which include clear, easy to read analog watch faces that are paired with colorful straps. Oftentimes, the watch's face and strap are in a matching bright color such as neon purple, primary red, snow white, ice blue, or kelly green. There is a vast inventory of Ice watches on eBay, including multiple color way options and a variety of styles, including a chronograph style. This inventory includes both unisex and specially designed men's and women's Ice watches. The unisex and men's styles tend to be chunkier, with larger faces and thicker straps than the women's styles, which have the same kind of look as the other models but in a smaller style.

US 6641136 B2Abstract
A sports game pinball amusement device for playing a sports game. The playing field contains a plurality slots with sensors for determining the activity in a game and a multiplicity of slots with sensors representing the final. The game is played by launching a ball along an inclined playing field to determine the plays in a baseball, football, soccer game or the like, which is programmed into a microprocessor.
What is claimed is: 1. A sports game pinball machine for playing a sports game, said machine having a housing with a top wall, a rear wall and a pair of side walls and of which the upper face is designed as a playing area, said housing having means for translating at least one ball throughout a plurality of locations therein, means for launching said ball for play action and means for displaying a sports action responsive to said play action, said play area being inclined downwardly so that a ball will roll downwardly because of gravity and having a multiplicity of slots about the rear wall having means for sensing said ball for determining an activity, which is part of the game that is represented by said slot, and a programmed microprocessor, which depicts a sports activity by the action of a ball on the playing field.
2. The machine of claim 1 including a multiplicity of slots about the front wall having means for sensing said ball for determining a game play.
3. The machine of claim 2 wherein slots about the front wall comprise at least four.
4. The machine of claim 1 wherein said means for scoring and controlling the process of said game comprises a microprocessor programmed for the sport of baseball or football.
5. The machine of claim 1 wherein the slots about the rear wall are on a rotary carousel.
6. The machine of claim 5 wherein said carousel is rotated and controlled by said microprocessor.
7. The machine of claim 1 wherein said machine comprises value determining depicting means and balls are played, said determining means relates to an inning played by a team in the game of baseball.
8. The machine of claim 1 wherein said machine comprises baseball determining means for balls played for the game of baseball.
9. The machine of claim 1 wherein said first slots are selectively activated to represent yardage in a football game.
10. The machine of claim 1 including a tilt detector.
11. The machine of claim 1 including flipper means.
12. The machine of claim 1 including means for providing a visual display and sound when a ball enters a selected slot to activate a video of a game activity.
13. The machine of claim 1 including a movement determining means for determining the position of a player on a base in the game of baseball.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/801,457 filed Mar. 8, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,390,470.
The present invention relates to a sports game pinball amusement device, which simulates a sports event using images of players displayed on a graphic display device. More particularly, there is provided a pinball machine, which simulates actions in a baseball, softball, football game, or the like.
A large number of players play pinball games to kill time. However, because the pinball machine is a simple game and the game is over in a short period of time, there is a problem that the players are not able to kill time, as they desire. Further, because of the simple game, a large number of players lose interest in games.
Pinball machines have numerous configurations that are well known in the art. It is conventional practice in a pinball machine apparatus to modify the structure on the game surface, the design and the score value of different targets in order to revive the incentive of practiced players without changing the principal of the game.
There are many commercially available pinball machines that incorporate various scoring indicators, lights, graphics and sound. These machines include mechanical three-dimensional figures that communicate visually and audibly with a player.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,112,049 to Borg, which is herein incorporated by reference, discloses a pinball machine wherein a section of the playing field is changed by rotating the section to expose different components.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,405,142 to Arad, which is herein incorporated by reference, discloses a pinball machine having provisions for translating a ball in play throughout a plurality of locations. There is also provided an audio system to provide a speaking effect in response to different play conditions.
According to the present invention, there is provided a sports-oriented pinball machine having a slanted playing field and a plurality of representative playing slots arranged on the playing field about the bottom of the playing field to determine the activities specific for the sport. Playing slots are provided with sensors for detecting a ball that enters the slot. A microprocessor is provided, which is activated when a ball enters a slot to record an activity and/or a score and display the activity which occurred. Means are provided on the playing field to translate a ball in play throughout a plurality of locations thereon.
Advantageously, video and audio means are provided in association with the microprocessor for providing speaking and/or sound or light effects in response to different play conditions.
In a baseball game the action of the ball on the playing field can determine hits, runs, errors, stolen bases and the like.
In a football game, first downs, field goals, touchdowns, and lost yardage can be determined by the released ball.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a pinball game apparatus in which a sports activity is depicted.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a sports game pinball game apparatus, which alters the playing field to challenge the skill of the user.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide visual and sound effects, which respond to the playing conditions of a sports activity.
It is still another object to provide a game in which the essence of a baseball game or the like is provided.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sports pinball machine of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a baseball game apparatus according to the invention.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of further embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a football game pinball machine according to the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a football game similar to the apparatus of FIG. 2.
As seen in FIG. 1, in the simplest form of the invention, there is provided a pinball apparatus 10 comprising a housing having an upper face 12, which forms the sloping playing field. The playing field is conventionally covered by a transparent glass pane 14.
The housing is defined by a first or top wall 14 1, a rear wall 15 and side walls 16 and 17. The playing field 12 is inclined downwardly toward the rear wall 15 so that a ball will roll downwardly because of gravity.
The playing field has a plurality of path altering pins 20 and bumpers 18 to accommodate various ball path-altering provisions. The playing field may also contain first ball path altering slot or slots 19 formed by walls that contain sensors 22, which define the activities in the game. The pins 20 may also comprise various fixed and elastic, active and passive targets as common in the game.
Along the bottom wall 15 there is a plurality of slots 20 1, which contain sensors 21 that can sense a ball entering one of the slots 20 1. Slots 20 1 define the play in a particular game, for example, hit, home run, walk, etc.
Preferably, the slot or slots 19 define hits, strikes, balls and steals, and the bottom wall slots 20 1 define strike outs, walks, home runs, etc.
A ball launch guide 16, is disposed near one side of the housing. Launch guide 16 is bound by a wall which is offset a nominal distance from side wall 17 to form a ball launching channel. A spring loaded pull knob 32, ball contact end 28, and an intermediate body having a compression spring 30, is collinearly mounted through the housing along the longitudinal extent of launch guide 16. When knob 32 is fully extended, ball 26 exits launch guide 16, and is first expelled by releasing knob 32. Once ball 26 exits launch guide 16, it is in play and may come into contact with wall 14 1, bumpers 18, and enters first slots 19 which define a ball or strike. The object of the game is to enter into a selected slot 19 and 20 1. Each slot 20 1 is provided with a sensor 21, which is associated with a microprocessor that contains a program, which acts with a sensor 21 in the slots 20. In the case of baseball, the microprocessor provides either the actions of the home team or visitors. Two can play the game. The players skill in being able to enter a given slot 19 and 20 will decide the particular activity in the game desired.
Along the upper part of the housing and along the top wall 14 1 is a display board 32, which is associated with a microprocessor to provide the score and a visual display on screen 40 in accordance with the play on the playing field and the sensors 22 and 21 activated by a ball 26. The display can depict a player running, stealing a base, striking out, etc.
The microprocessor is also programmed to display images of players running, coin insertion, coin payout, etc. If the ball 26 enters a slot 20 1, the sensor signals the microprocessor, which senses the display board 32 and displays the activity and score. Generally, there are slots 20 1 on the playing field for each event in the game and optionally an additional slot for extra innings that is an LED so as to display that slot when scoring occurs of a particular value.
Along the playing field are a plurality of pins 20 and bumpers 18, which randomly direct the ball to slots 19 and 20 1. The size and shape of the pins as well as their positioning on the playing field have an effect on the ball and the odds of a ball going to a specific slot.
Upon inserting a number of coins into the slot 34 prior to playing the game, a sensing means senses the coins inserted so as to provide pulse signals corresponding to the number of coins which are transmitted to and counted by a detection unit and by pressing button 36 111, a signal is sent to activate the control unit which provides a signal to the microprocessor to activate the game.
The playing field may be provided with active and/or inactive pins and bumpers which not only provide scoring but also activate a video or sound program. The balls 26, as they roll down the inclined plane, randomly bump into pins or bumpers to deflect the path of the ball. At the bottom of the playing field, there may be provided thrust levers or flippers 24 a controlled by buttons 24, which can direct the ball 26 into play for different slots or direction. The length of the flippers can be as conventionally used in a pinball apparatus.
The playing field at the back wall is provided with a gutter or return mechanism, which is conventional in the art. One such mechanism is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,464,213, which is herein incorporated by reference.
The game is played in a manner similar to known pinball machines. In the preferred embodiment, the general rules are as follows: The player will play balls until three outs are recorded in the microprocessor. Scoring is made by having a ball enter into one of slots 19, which can depict a hit and then into one of slots 20 1 to obtain a score. The game can be started by placing coins into slot 34, whereby coin insert and detection unit signals the CPU. Alternatively, a start button 36 111 is pressed. The CPU has a control unit, which illuminates the game board by LED's, an LCD for visual display and the audio units.
The player selects the desired play by pressing one of the buttons 36 1, 36 11 after activities are displayed for the home team or visitor. The start button 36 111 causes the release of a ball 26 into launch channel 16.
The ball 26 is put into play by extending and releasing knob 32. The ball in play can be controlled by the skill of the player in being able to control the direction of the ball by a controlled vibration of the machine. Optionally, a tilt mechanism may be provided to control the degree of vibration. If the tilt detector is activated, the game is over.
The ball 26 travels downward toward the back wall 14 1 so as to enter one of the first set of slots 19 and activate one of the sensors 22 which are lit. According to the game, the direction of the ball is determined by the skill of the player in using the flippers 24 a controlled by button 24 and in vibrating the apparatus.
The projected images and sounds can be triggered by one or more targets or pins 18 which are electrically connected with the CPU to trigger an image or sound upon impact with a ball 26. There may be provided a projector (not shown) which comprises a cassette with an endless film which cyclically produces an image on the display. There is further the possibility to trigger image reproduction and sound or change when the sensors 21, 22 have been activated.
The game of baseball can be played by releasing a ball to first go into one of the slots 19 to decide an action such as steal, hit by pitched ball, etc. The slots 19 may have actions for offense or defense or be randomly selected by the microprocessor whereby all slots display an offensive action or defensive action.
The slots will be displayed by LED or LCD after the game starts. The kind or value of the slots can be permanent or randomly selected. For baseball, the computer will select the outcome of each ball. The player could then shoot the ball to determine an offensive play or defensive play.
A similar arrangement can be made for the game of softball.
Along the playing field, near pins 20, may be positioned sensors 22 about the bases which indicate a single, double, or triple which has been hit so that action on the field can take place before the ball 26 reaches slots 20 1.
FIG. 2 represents a game similar to that shown in FIG. 1. The game differs by not providing sensors along the bases and allowing the play of multiple innings.
The apparatus 110 has a top wall 114 1, side walls 116 and 171. A launch channel 111 is formed by wall 261 and 171. A ball 0 is put into play by extending a knob 221 which is attached to rod 23 which extends into the channel 111. The ball 0 is put into play when the knob 221 is released and the compression spring 251 has the front end 241 impact on the ball 0 where upon it will enter the playing field. On the playing field the ball 0 will encounter the bumpers and/or pins 18 1 as well as the slots 19 and 20.
A difference from the game of FIG. 1 is that multiple coins can be placed in coin slot 42 to pay for extra innings or for two players to oppose each other. In which case, the buttons 41, 41A, 41 1 and 41 11 are associated to signal a microprocessor the activities played. Button 41 represents one player and button 41A represents the second play which informs the microprocessor which program is to be used. Button 41 1 releases a ball onto the launch channel 111 for play. Button 41 11 starts the game after the coins are placed in coin slot 42.
Similar to the game shown in FIG. 1, there are flippers 50A activated by a button 50 which keep the ball 0 in play to keep it from entering an out slot which may be represented by one or more slots 20.
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention wherein the bottom slots are on a carousel 55. The carousel is controlled by a microprocessor which randomly selects which slots 55 1 are accessible by a played ball 0. Each of the slots 55 1 has a sensor (not shown) which senses a ball 0 entering and falling into ball return 56. Walls 57, 57 1 and 58 deflect the ball 0 into one of the slots 55.
The game can contain the options programmed into the microprocessor whereby the plays, pitches or the like, are drawn by the microprocessor or obtained by playing the game a plurality of balls until one or three outs are reached. The game may be drawn to a single player at bat or a part of an inning.
The machine can alternately be provided with a single forward slot, which in combination with a video display advances a runner on base that is determined by the microprocessor, or the carousel can comprise a multiplicity of slots, which are for determining a hit, steal, out, etc. Buttons 59 and 59 1 provide the player with the option to select how the game is to be played.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration according to the present invention wherein a microprocessor or CPU 70 is a memory device in which every processing program is stored. CPU 70 controls the LCD display 64, a coin insertion and detection unit 60 for detecting the insertion of a coin and includes a coin payout unit for paying out coins.
The CPU has a motor control unit 61 which controls the activation of the sensors 21, 22, a lamp control unit 62 which illuminates the apparatus upon insertion of a coin, a LED control unit 63 for the LED's 48 of the sensors 21, 22 and other illuminations, a LCD control unit 64 for the video display which also contains a graphic RAM for storing graphic data to be sent to the video display and a character ROM in which character data are stored, and a sound control unit 65 which stores sounds or announcements for different activities on the video display.
The device of the invention contains a memory device 71 in which every processing program is stored, means for controlling operations of the processing programs, a CRT control circuit 61 with a CRT display for images of base runners, a coin insertion detector 60B for detecting the insertion of coins, a counter of coins and a payout hopper.
The CRT control circuit 61 comprises a CRT controller for controlling the images to CRT 61A, a graphic RAM for storing graphic data to be sent to the CRT 61A and a character ROM in which character data are stored.
A baseball game can be played by allowing play of a multiplicity of balls until three outs are reached. The slots at the front of the apparatus can represent hits, outs, balls or strikes.
The slots at the rear of the apparatus can represent one or more outs, double play, hit, home run and the like. A ball going through slot 19 can represent a single. The striking of selective bumpers can represent a steal. The entry of a ball into slot 20 can represent hit, out, double play, etc. All of which plays are programmed into the microprocessor.
Advantageously, a video program with sound displays the action of the balls. The same action occurs in a softball game.
FIG. 5 represents a football game using an apparatus similar to FIG. 2 except that a football field is shown and the scoring is in accordance with activities on a football field.
In a football game, the object is to score a touchdown, which can be represented by a ball reaching the rear slots. The front slots can represent first downs, loss yardage, etc. Selected bumpers can provide first downs or lost yardage, all of which is shown by the microprocessor on a video screen. The rear slots can represent touchdown, field goal, fumble, etc. When a programmed score or a fumble or the other side takes possession the game is over. A payout occurs when there is a score.
Games, which can be programmed for the apparatus include baseball, softball, football, rugby and soccer.
Sounds which can be programmed into the microprocessor can be that of a sports announcer which announces �hit, out, etc� in a baseball game or the like.
The player may choose to continue to play based on the cumulative score or he may choose to pay out. The machine may be programmed to dispense tickets or coins.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments shown, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Read More.@matt_levineAug 4, 2015 8:24 AM EDTa | AByMatt LevinePoor Tom Hayes.It is not exactly a surprise that Tom Hayes was convicted of manipulating Libor, what with his 82 hours of confessing to the Serious Fraud Office:“I probably deserve to be sitting here because, you know, I made concerted efforts to influence Libor,” Hayes told the SFO in an interview. “Although I was operating within a system or participating within a system in which it was commonplace, you know, ultimately I was someone who was a serial offender.”You know I'd never give you legal advice, especially about British law, but I will say that if you ever find yourself in a position where you're spending 82 hours confessing to crimes, probably something has gone wrong in your life. Possibly it was committing all the crimes? But endlessly confessing to them seems like its own lapse in judgment.Still 14 years in prison for asking people to make up some numbers seems unnecessarily brutal. The Libor settlements depicted a widespread culture of Libor dishonesty, and came with dozens of chats in which dozens of traders acted much like Hayes. But the approach is not to punish all of them sensibly, but rather, as so often, to single out one for insane exemplary punishment. (Though more Libor trials are coming.) Because, you know, no cruelty in defense of the truth is too much. Lead prosecutor Mukul Chawla:“What’s so hard about telling the truth?” Mr. Chawla asked at one point.“You’ll have to give that question some context,” Mr. Hayes replied.I suppose this sort of lightning-strike justice has some deterrent effect. But Hayes is of course right: Everyone bends the truth sometimes; very few of them go to prison for 14 years for it. Pimco.For instance, Pimco might be in trouble for how it valued some small illiquid bonds in 2012. The idea -- we talked about it a bit last year -- seems to be that Pimco's small Total Return Active ETF bought those small bonds and then marked up their prices in the absence of much of an objective market price. The ETF's early performance was good, and that performance attracted assets. But at least some of that performance might have come from now-disputed valuation choices rather than from, you know, performance in the traditional sense. Pimco is excited for the "opportunity to demonstrate to the SEC staff why we believe our conduct was appropriate," and of course its marks on those bonds could have been appropriate and in line with industry practice without necessarily being right. In fact, for many small illiquid bonds, there's probably no "right" valuation.Promontory.Or there is the bizarre story of Promontory Financial, the regulatory consulting firm that the New York Department of Financial Services wants to suspend from assignments because it advocates too strongly on behalf of its clients. Standard Chartered hired Promontory to look into its U.S. sanctions violations. Promontory looked into the violations and prepared reports, and Standard Chartered admitted a bunch of violations and paid a big fine. (And then, later, another big fine for more violations.) The problem, according to the new DFS report on Promontory, is that Promontory would sometimes "tone down" language in its reports at the behest of its client. I mean, I can see why regulators don't like that? But also, this was a consulting firm hired by the bank to help the bank deal with regulators. Why shouldn't it help its clients deal with regulators? Wasn't that the job? Promontory was not acting as a court-appointed monitor of Standard Chartered. It wasn't working for DFS. It was working for the bank. I understand that for, like, marketing reasons, it's important to act like Promontory was a neutral umpire doing an independent review. The DFS report quotes Promontory's website for blather about how "credibility is critical" and "depends upon independence and subject matter expertise." But that is ... literally marketing? The whole thing just seems like a nothing:The New York regulator did not accuse Promontory of a legal violation, or its employees of perjury, saying only that the firm “exhibited a lack of independent judgment” expected of consultants. The agency found only two transactions worth about $300,000 — out of roughly 133,000 worth some $590 billion — that Promontory failed to flag for the authorities.But DFS is so offended that the people who pleaded with DFS on behalf of the bank were working for the bank that it wants to prevent them from pleading with it on behalf of other banks. People are worried about bond market liquidity.Jerome Powell of the Fed is the latest, saying that regulatory changes "may be one factor driving recent changes in market-making," though also saying that high-frequency trading of Treasuries "is way more complicated than the ’Flash Boys’ story." And Goldman Sachs has a "Top of Mind" report (no link) called "A Look at Liquidity"; a sample:Allison Nathan: Won’t other participants—i.e., hedge funds and independent broker-dealers—step in if banks can’t?Steve Strongin: Not necessarily. If a bank is subject to a rule, its clients can become indirectly subject to the same rule. This is because client access to banks’ balance sheets is now more limited and expensive as banks charge clients more for use of this scarce resource. So hedge funds and independent broker-dealers don’t rent more balance sheet—i.e., obtain bank financing or establish lines of credit—than they need to conduct their daily business. And they can no longer rent balance sheet from a bank on demand in order to be the bid in a dislocated market. So their ability to step in during a stress event is significantly reduced relative to history. Regulators probably intended this to ensure that banks were not enabling a transfer of outsize risk to shadow banking areas. But very few market participants are able to hold cash outright to wait for a dislocation. So if banks can't expand their balance sheet to provide leverage, the shadow banking system can't make the bid in a period of stress.Allison Nathan: What about asset managers? Given their growth, are they in a better position to step in?Steve Strongin: No. Asset managers manage a constant pool of assets against a constant leverage. They have no ability to expand their balance sheets in order to provide a bid in a stressed market. In order for them to be the bid, they have to be holding much higher cash balances, which is expensive and weighs on their performance relative to their benchmarks. Expecting an asset manager to use its cash balances to buy other people’s stressed assets—especially when it is likely to be facing redemptions—is not realistic. And, if anything, the increased size of asset managers in recent years has put them in a position to demand more liquidity, not to provide it.Meanwhile CCC bonds aren't doing well.Things happen.Puerto Rico defaulted on an agency bond. China's response to its stock market crash was problematic. Yanis Varoufakis as a media star. Deutsche Bank is being investigated for doing Russian mirror trades, which "involve stocks bought by Russian clients in rubles through Deutsche Bank, and simultaneous trades through London in which the bank bought the same securities for similar amounts in U.S. dollars."

Richmond Spiders vs. Butler Bulldogs - Recap - January 16, 2013 - ESPN
No. 13 Butler, minus injured Rotnei Clarke, downs RichmondRecommend0
Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS -- Butler figured out a simple way to win without Rotnei Clarke.Go hard inside and play lockdown defense.On a night Andrew Smith scored 15 points and Kellen Dunham added 11, the Bulldogs completely bottled up Richmond's shooters and rebounders and pulled away for a 62-47 victory in their first Atlantic 10 home game."Our whole team was focused and you could tell just by the way we came out tonight," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "We had to focus on the game, and I didn't have any question that we would do that. Sometimes when you lose a guy, it heightens your focus a little bit."Whatever the impact, losing Clarke to a severely sprained neck didn't slow down the Bulldogs (15-2, 3-0) one bit.They will take a 12-game winning streak into Saturday's home showdown against No. 8 Gonzaga -- with a chance to become the first team in school history to beat three top 10 teams in one season. The Bulldogs have already beaten Indiana and North Carolina and may face an even tougher challenge without having Clarke available Saturday.But of all the different ways the Bulldogs have won this season, from last-second shots to impressive blowouts, Wednesday night's performance may go down as the most rewarding victory for Stevens.Butler didn't flinch when Richmond started switching defenders, and it wound up using its size advantage to dominate the glass. The Bulldogs outrebounded Richmond 53-20 overall with a staggering 20 offensive rebounds compared to 14 defensive rebounds for Richmond.What else?The Spiders (11-7, 1-2) came into the game averaging 71.2 points and shooting 45.4 percent from the field. In their first trip to Hinkle Fieldhouse, though, Richmond finished with a season-low 47 points and shot a season-low 32.7 percent from the field -- just a tick worse than they did against Kansas."Playing without their best player, they didn't miss a beat on defense," Spiders coach Chris Mooney said. "They may be a little less dynamic on offense."That didn't matter.Stevens told reporters Tuesday that the Bulldogs would make up for Clarke's missing 16.3 points with both familiar and unfamiliar names. He was right.Roosevelt Jones continued his impressive play, finishing with 10 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Dunham, who started in place of Clarke, scored 11 points despite going 2 of 11 from the field. Kameron Woods had eight points and seven rebounds. Alex Barlow finished with five points, double his scoring average, and Andrew Smeathers, who scored six points all season, had five against Richmond."Without Rotnei we lose one of our shooters, so we were focused on going inside a little bit more," Smith said. "But it doesn't really change what we did a whole lot."For Richmond, it was a night-long struggle.It opened the game just 4 of 22 from the field. The percentage improved to 28.6 percent at halftime with a late scoring flurry and steadily increased throughout the second half.It wasn't nearly enough to pull the upset. Darien Brothers was the only Richmond player to reach double figures. He finished with 12 points. Cedrick Lindsay made two 3-pointers and scored nine points. Nobody else had more than six as the Spiders played without their second-leading scorer, forward Derrick Williams, for the fourth straight game because of a sprained ankle.Richmond has lost two in a row, both on the road, and five of seven overall."They're a good defensive team, but I did think we had looks we could make," Mooney said. "But scoring now is really heavily weighted to us shooting the ball well because we're not getting any inside baskets."With almost no inside presence, Butler made this one easy.The Bulldogs took control with first-half runs of 7-0 and 8-0 to build a 23-11 lead with 5:26 left in the first half. After Deion Taylor's second 3 got Richmond within 25-17, the Bulldogs closed the half on an 8-4 spurt that ended with Barlow's 3 to make it 33-21.Things didn't change much in the second half.Butler made two baskets in the first 1:49.Richmond needed more than 4 minutes to match that total and another 5 minutes before Lindsay delivered Richmond's third basket, a 3 with 11:33 to go that cut the Bulldogs' lead to 46-29. The Spiders did make one late push, using a 9-0 run to close to 50-41 with 8:23 left.But the Bulldogs thwarted the rally, expanded the lead to as much as 15 and then shut the Spiders on defense again."That is a great win," Stevens said. "That's a hard team to play against, a hard team to prepare for because they do something that is really unique in college basketball, they switch everything. But our guys stayed the course in a game you almost have to play their way."

I am writing this review on the first of this series because as you consider beginning a multibook series you'll be wondering if the commitment is worth it. After having listened to all of the books now available on Audible (10 or 11 and the story is still not over) I am telling you to GO FOR IT. It took a several chapters to get my bearings with the material, but after that I was hooked in a terribly engrossing world of fantasy that I would never have thought would interest me. Some other reviewers have panned the narrators, and maybe with the first book they hadn't yet found their bearing either, but throughout the series they are outstanding in my opinion. I couldn't get enough of this story. I'm thankful that I came to it late, when there were already more than 10 books to enjoy. I admit that I have expected the author to wrap up this saga before now, but in reality I am thankful that he kept the characters and their world alive. I recommend this series with no reservations. 122 of 126 people found this review helpful

I've read every Jack Reacher novel, so was pleased to see the newest available so soon on Audible. As most Audible veterens know, the narrator can make or break a novel. The same book read by two different people can "feel" totally different. After listening to Bad Luck and Trouble I've concluded that my disappointment is not with the story, but with the narration. The voices and dialects just seem all wrong. Reacher isn't Reacher. O'Donnell, an ex-Army MP, is made to sound like some smarmy Atlantic Seaboard Socialite. And the women don't sound like women. The discordent characterizations kept getting in the way of a great action story. I am going to get the book now to read, as I recommend to you. 5 of 8 people found this review helpful
