Hello, My name's Matt and I'm hooked on RC airplanes...
It was at the family 4th of July cookout nearly 10 years ago when my uncle pulled out his tiny foam electric powered Cub and sent it buzzing through the air...
I will never forgot the words he uttered as he handed me the controller..
"Here, wanna fly it?"
Three days later I was holding an Aerobird My very first RC Airplane!
Learning to Fly...
About three fuselages, five sets of wings, and many frustrating weeks later I could fly her like a champ!
Truth is, I went through a lot of money and frustration that wasn't necessary.
a matter of fact, most people that attempt learning to fly radio
controlled airplanes on their own wind up throwing in the towel before
reaping the benefits...
Do yourself a huge favor and learn how to fly RC airplanes the smart way!
You'll be glad you followed this advice when greasing that landing on your first solo flight...
Maybe that's a stretch... But it's definitely possible!
Once you get past the hurdle of learning to fly that first plane, you'll be hooked for life. Trust me!
The different aspects and possibilities of this hobby truly are limitless. The direction you decide is completely up to you.
The pages below are a good introduction to the various aspects of the hobby. If you have any questions, by all means ask them here!
Radio Systems
How RC radio systems work with details on components, functions, and terminology.
RC Engines
Glow engines are most commonly used with RC planes. Learn all about them here.
Electric RC Power
Explanation of the different components of electric RC airplanes.
Propeller Selection
Propeller selection is key for optimal performance of your radio controlled airplane. But how do you pick the right one?
Types of RC Planes
They're more types of RC planes than you can imagine. Check'em all out right here.
RC Aerobatics
Flying your plane is one thing. Flying specific maneuvers takes tons of practice and skill.
Building Planes
Building your very own model airplane from balsa is a ton of fun. And it's much easier than you think!
Scale Airplanes
Radio controlled versions of full scale airplanes. Going crazy with size and detail.
RC Quadcopters
Often times referred to as "Drones", these four prop copters can be flow by virtually anyone!
Most importantly... be safe, have fun, and share your passion for the hobby!

Has Perez Hilton gone too far this time?
The controversial celebrity blogger is drawing heat for tweeting an apparently explicit paparazzi photo of teen pop star Miley Cyrus exiting from a car.
Hilton shared a link Sunday to his 2-million strong Twitter followers that allegedly showed the 17-year-old Cyrus without underwear, Salon.com reported.
U.S. & World
"If you are easily offended, do NOT click here …Oh, Miley! Warning: truly not for the easily offended!" Hilton tweeted before the post was later taken down.
While Hilton has made a career of mocking stars' embarrassing moments, the underage Cyrus photo could land him in trouble with the law, according to Salon.
Jeffrey Douglas, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who specializes in child pornography cases, called Hilton's liability "extraordinary and intense."
"We're not talking about a misdemeanor," Douglas told Salon. "You don't have to know what the definition of the law is; all you have to do is knowingly distribute the photograph."
Hilton responded to the dustup Tuesday afternoon in trademark outrageous fashion, posting a video on website that showed him pantsless and wearing a fur coat.
"I'm here wearing my fake fur to address a fake controversy," Hilton said.
Hilton denied that Cyrus had been photographed without her underwear, saying other paparazzi photos from the same shoot would back up his case.
"Sure I like to be controversial, but I don't want to go to jail," Hilton said. "Clearly, the reason I linked to that photo is cause I thought she was exiting this car in a very unladylike fashion. And you know I like to encourage Miley to be ladylike."
Cyrus' rep has not yet commented on the controversy. The singer's new album "Can't be Tamed" hits shelves on Monday.

KOffice 2.0 Alpha 8
The KDE Project today announced the eighth alpha release of KOffice 2, a technology preview of the upcoming version 2.0. Work continues in the same vein as before, with a strong focus on finishing and polishing our new features that will set KOffice. This is a work in progress, showing the changes that have been made over the last month by the KOffice developers. Most features that will be part of the final release are present now, and bug reports are welcome for the more stable components.
OpenDocument Improvements
One of the highlights of this release is the work on saving and loading Open Document Format documents, especially for the text shape, thanks to the sponsoring of Girish Ramakrishnan by the Dutch NLNet organisation. Girish has added scores of tests to check for ODF compliancy.
It is also worthy of note that now KOffice is able to load and save images in
Importantly, for the first time, KOffice is released simultaneously for the
Early testers
While KOffice applications, generally speaking, are not ready for bugs reports,
Go KOffice go
Girish's work seems to be really impressing (http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/06/11/testing-typography).
I hope KOffice will gain some more developers soon. And may they be as talented as the current ones.

Shared testing framework
It's great to see KOffice really supporting and progressing ODF, and test driven development really seems like the way to do that.
Is that something that can be done collaboratively? I mean can KOffice, OpenOffice and others share a testing/compliance suite, or is it kde/qt tied?
Could it possibly even have it maintained in OASIS. That could make it far easier for other independant implementations to develop.
By Steve at Thu, 2008/06/12 - 5:00am
Re: Shared testing framework
There is a testing/compliance suite (can't remember the link). But the work that is done currently on the framework is tied to KOffice, since it's automatic testing, and it basically works by loading a document and checking that the internal state (aka Qt/KOffice structures) is correct, and that part is not sharable.

Re: Shared testing framework
The results have not been updated, indeed. But the OpenOffice results were re-tested just a couple of months ago (at least all the failing ones, to see if they started passing) there were virtually no changes at all. Only one test started passing. I think the OOo people are not really using the results to find bugs and improve OOo :/

in all fairness, did you consider that OOo people are probably rightfully busy fixing bugs that their users find annoying?

Oh my god!
KOffice running on Windows is so here. Although I have a few crashes, the fact that it is running on Windows excites the living pants out of me.
I'm looking so forward to stable KOffice 2.0 on Windows. This will usher a new era of free software that never foreseen before. The days of Microsoft Office will be numbered. Those who continue to pay for Microsoft Office will be left in the dust as the momentum of KOffice builds.
Go KOffice go!

By Forrestry at Sun, 2008/06/15 - 5:00am
Re: Oh my god!
It is a convincing argument for GNOME users. However, I've got the feeling even THAT will be fixed without the KOffice developers writing a single line of code for it (http://labs.trolltech.com/page/Projects/Styles/GtkStyle http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/05/13/introducing-qgtkstyle/).

Re: Oh my god!
I don't want to GNOME-ify KDE. I was simply stating, that since GNOME accounts for about half of Linux, GNOME support on OOo was probably part of the reason for OOo's popularity as an Open Source application. I never meant that the KOffice developers should port KOffice to GTK+ (that work is being done by TT ;).
By Riddle at Tue, 2008/06/17 - 5:00am
Re: Oh my god!
With my LaTeX background, I always relies on heavy use of styles. I cannot live without styles, and OOo make the use of styles a really pleasure.

Re: Oh my god!
I've been using OO.org up to this point because of it's better functionality. But I've recently tried the koffice 2 spreadsheet and liked it; it basically does everything I need. There were some things that didn't work quite right but that's understandable since it's still in alpha.
I'm looking forward to switching to koffice; for me there are several advantages. I'm using KDE and of course koffice has better KDE integration. And as you say it's faster and lighter; oo.org takes 8 seconds to open on my AMD 64 X2 box which is ridiculously slow. I'll be using KDE apps for almost everything so there should be better sharing of libraries.

pffft... from all the things they did in Redmond, Office is quite o.k. It's working as an office suite. Not the worst peace of software, really. I think, even if Microsoft gives up on the lock-in with stupid file-formats, MS Office would still attract some buyers (but the competition would nevertheless grab its 50% market share)
I would go for KOffice anyway as I like openness in terms of code and content... ;-)
By thomas at Tue, 2008/06/17 - 5:00am

I also like Open Source code. My main problem with both MS-Office and OOo is that they are big. OOo being big is understandable, since it is cross-platform, but Office is not, so it's Just Plain Bloated.

Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
This might not be the place to ask this question but I notice in kde4daily that the latest KWord 2.0 alpha 8 can't open MS Word 2003 .doc files nor produce them.
Hm, most companies demand a MS Word .doc CV if you sollicitate for a job. Would it be good practice if from now on I write my application letter and CV in ODF (.odt) format and tell the company to who I write a sollicitation email that they must install the ODF plugin for MS Word if they want to read my application letter and CV?
I think for my next sollicitations I will attach to my emails both .doc AND .odt files with the request to the company that they should install the Sun ODF plugin as the ODF format will be my preferred way of communication. This means a little more work for me but I'm guessing many companies have not heard much yet about ODF.
How many of you guys use only ODF documents in your communication with companies? Are companies easy to adopt the ODF plugin or are you forced to write a MS Word doc?
So my question whether KWord can produce .doc files is no longer relevant. But KWord should be able to READ them as long as companies send their documents to me in .doc format.
By vatbier at Fri, 2008/06/20 - 5:00am
Re: Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
With OpenOffice 2.4.0 I converted my CV.doc to CV.odt.
I should ask the mailing-list why an .odt file produced by OpenOffice can't be exactly reproduced by KWord 2.0.
By vatbier at Fri, 2008/06/20 - 5:00am
Re: Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
If it doesn't contain any sensitive information, it would be interesting to use the file as a test case.
By Inge Wallin at Fri, 2008/06/20 - 5:00am
Re: Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
May I suggest that after you're done editing and saving your document in KWord, convert it into a pdf-document. Most companies AFAIK can open a pdf-document. Additionally, you will also be sure that the layout of your document preserved when opened by others.
By KDE rocks at Sat, 2008/06/21 - 5:00am
Re: Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
I was most surprised when recently at a presentation, the computer used with the projector could not be used by most of us as it did not have a way to open pdf files (yes. No acrobat reader!). Of course we could connect our laptops to the projector.
Now this again brings us to "export to PDF" not being the same as "print to PDF". Would koffice give us a way to create pdf files preserving links etc? or would the pdf printer somehow become smarter to it could manage links etc?
By Kishore at Sun, 2008/06/22 - 5:00am
Re: Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
I didn't know that there's a difference between exporting vs printing to pdf. Could you elaborate? Besides preserving links, what other functions might be of interest to preserve?
By KDE rocks at Sun, 2008/06/22 - 5:00am
Re: Is KWord 2.0 able to produce MS Word .doc files?
The big problem in 1.6 with reading .doc files was tables (they are imported perfectly, but kword cannot handle big tables and certain types of images. KWord 2.0 does not have tables at all, but benjamin call is working on the images problem as part of his summer of code project.
Saving as .doc isn't on the agenda. We do the same thing as Microsoft itself here, when you save a document for another version of word than the one you're using, and save it as rtf but call it .doc.

I purchased this pad as a last minute temporary piece of gear for backpacking and am still using it after 2 years. Cut off 18 inches for 3/4 length at 9 ounces. Does the job and light weight, can't be beat for the price.

Price Paid: $5.88
Not only is this pad sufficient as a sleeping surface, it is also extremely useful for crafts. It bonds to itself and to other surfaces using Super 90, Super 70, and Weldworth DAP contact cement. It cuts easily and can absorb large amounts of force. For this reason it is internationally used as an essential ingredient in imitation weapon construction.
With this in mind, I would always purchase this foam pad because after I use it camping there is no need to store it. Almost always it is used in some project or another.

Price Paid: 6 dollars
This should be new. I use the Ozark Trail Closed Cell Camping Pad to insulate a Chevrolet Panel Van that I use as a "stealth RV". The material cuts easily, and is easy to shape.
Be forewarned that the only adhesive that really works with bonding a polyiso material to steel is 3M Super 90 adhesive.
I have placed two layers of the foam in between the ribs of the van and they have worked wonders in terms of insulation, both thermal and sound absorbtion. The closed cell nature makes the foam ideal because it can not absorb water, or odors, or bacterial anythings.
It has worked out better than any of the other solutions that I have seen. This stuff really has as many applications as your imagination can come up with
This is the blue closed cell foam sleeping pad from…
Price Paid: $5
This is the blue closed cell foam sleeping pad from Wal-Mart. It provides some level of cushioning but more importantly it insulates your sleeping bag from the ground.
The pad rolls easily and compactly. It is very lightweight and waterproof. You can cut it up to make repairs to your shoulder straps or hip belts if necessary.
Don't waste your money on other expensive pads. This one works for only $5.

- Eastern Länder still lagging behind, although the gap is closing
- Capacity constraints, insufficient investment and venture capital limit productivity gains
Risk assessment
Growth will remain close to potential in 2019
Activity decelerated sharply in 2018, to the point of falling slightly in the third quarter. Exports had to cope with softer global demand and the impact of the US-China trade dispute, while automotive production was down nearly 10% in the third quarter compared with the previous quarter (before rebounding) due to delays in certifying vehicles under the new global emission standards that came into force on September 1, 2018. Accordingly, growth reverted to the economy's potential rate of expansion and is expected to remain at that level in 2019. Trade is set to make a negative contribution to trade again, with imports outpacing exports in line with brisk domestic demand. The imposition of a tax by the United States would affect German car exports to the United States (0.9% of GDP). On the domestic side, household consumption (53% of GDP) is poised to benefit from wage growth and an accommodative fiscal policy. Wages are driven by the low level of unemployment (3% expected, 6% among young people), the increase in the number of job vacancies (1.9% of total employment at the end of 2018) and the reduction in the number of immigrants whose employability is below that of the overall labour force. In accordance with the government's coalition agreement, pensions for mothers will go up again, as will benefits for dependent children, with, in particular, the introduction of the Baukindergeld, a subsidy based on the number of children and designed to help parents buy a home. The tax threshold will also be raised, while social contributions are to be further reduced. Together, these measures would represent 0.6% of GDP. Nevertheless, the increase in real disposable income will be limited by the inflation generated by low spare capacity and its corollary, higher labour costs. This expansionary fiscal stance will also extend to public spending on early childhood care, primary education, refugee integration, broadband, infrastructure, and social housing, since public investment has fallen to a low level. Conversely, private investment (17% of GDP) will be less vigorous, despite the low cost of financing and the high level of capacity utilisation. Faced with international uncertainties (trade disputes with consequences for the value chains in which the country is highly involved, Brexit, sanctions against Russia, concerns about several major emerging economies), confidence has waned among business leaders since peaking at the end of 2017. Housing construction is facing capacity saturation, particularly at the labour level.
In this context, the payment behaviour of German companies is expected to remain generally good. As a result of high profits, as well as dividend and investment moderation, their debt has fallen to a low level. The number of corporate insolvencies, at its lowest level since 1999, is expected to decline only slightly at best.
Public and external accounts showing a surplus
Despite slight fiscal easing, the government balance is expected to continue to show a small surplus, due to the positive impact of buoyant activity on revenues. Likewise, revenues will benefit from the increase in environmental taxes. In addition, debt servicing, which is set to fall below 60% of GDP, is costing less and less (1% of GDP). The current account surplus is expected to shrink further in line with the trade surplus (7% of GDP). The balance of services shows a small deficit, due notably to spending by German tourists. The income balance will remain in surplus: the income generated by the country's considerable foreign investments, which continue to grow on recurring current account surpluses, exceeds outgoing remittances by immigrants and investors. The country has a net creditor position vis-à-vis the rest of the world equal to 60% of GDP.
A fragile Grand Coalition
Following the parliamentary elections of September 2017, negotiations resulted in a renewed Grand Coalition government in February 2018, bringing together Conservatives (CDU-CSU) and Social Democrats (SPD), based on a 170-page agreement. Already under pressure because of her narrow majority in the Bundestag and the breakthrough of the far right (AfD), which has pushed the right wing of the CDU and the Bavarian CSU to up the ante, Chancellor Angela Merkel saw her position weakened by the poor results of the coalition parties in several regional elections and by excellent showings for the Greens and the AfD. She resigned as CDU leader in December 2018, but intends to see her term out, i.e. until 2021. Much will depend on the upcoming regional and European elections, the SPD's attitude when reviewing the coalition agreement at the end of 2019 and the stance of the new CDU presidency. The choice of Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, a centrist reputed to be close to the Chancellor, as head of the CDU, reflects a preference for continuity and an eye to the future, including a possible alliance with the Greens if the SPD withdraws from the coalition.
Last update : February 2019
Bank transfer (Überweisung) remains the most common, means of payment. All leading German banks are connected to the SWIFT network, which enables them to provide a quick and efficient funds transfer service. The SEPA Direct Debit Core Scheme and the SEPA Direct Debit B2B are the newest forms of direct debit.
Bills of exchange and cheques are not used very widely in Germany as payment instruments. For Germans, a bill of exchange implies a critical financial position or distrust in the supplier. Cheques are not considered as payment as such, but as a "payment attempt": as German law ignores the principle of certified cheques, the issuer may cancel payment at any time and on any grounds. In addition, banks are able to reject payments when the issuing account contains insufficient funds. Bounced cheques are fairly common. As a general rule, bills of exchange and cheques are not considered as effective payment instruments, even though they entitle creditors to access a "fast track" procedure for debt collection in case of non-payment.
Debt Collection
Amicable Phase
The amicable collection is an essential step to the success of collection management. The collection process generally begins with the debtor being sent a final demand for payment, via ordinary or registered mail, reminding the debtor of their payment obligations.
According to the law for the acceleration of due payments (Gesetz zur Beschleunigung fälliger Zahlungen) a debtor is deemed to be in default if a debt remains unpaid within 30 days of the due payment date and after receipt of an invoice or equivalent request for payment, unless the parties have agreed to a different payment period in the purchase contract. In addition, the debtor is liable for default interest and reminder fees upon expiry of this period.
Debt collection is recommendable and common practice in Germany.
Legal proceedings
Fast-track proceeding
Provided the claim is undisputed, the creditor may seek order to pay (Mahnbescheid) through a simplified and cost-efficient procedure. The creditor describes the details of their claim and is subsequently able to obtain a writ of execution fairly quickly via the Online-Dunning Service (Mahnportal), direct interfaces or (only for private individuals) pre-printed forms. Such automated and centralised (for each Bundesland, federal state) procedures are available all over Germany.
This type of action falls within the competence of the local court (Amtsgericht) for the region in which the applicant's residence or business is located. For foreign creditors, the competent court is the Amtsgericht Wedding (in Berlin). Legal representation is not mandatory.
The debtor is given two weeks after notification to pay their debts or to contest the payment order (Widerspruch). If the debtor does not object within this timeframe, the creditor can apply for a writ of execution (Vollstreckungsbescheid).
Ordinary proceedings
During ordinary proceedings, the court may instruct the parties or their lawyers to substantiate their claim, which the court alone is then authorised to assess. Each litigant is also requested to submit a pleading memorandum outlining their expectations, within the specified time limit.
Once the claim has been properly examined, a public hearing is held at which the court passes an informed judgement (begründetes Urteil).
The losing party will customarily bear all court costs, including the lawyer's fees of the winning party to the extent that those fees are in conformity with the Official Fees Schedule (the Rechtanwaltsvergütungsgesetz, RVG). In the case of partial success, fees and expenses are borne by each party on a pro rata basis. Ordinary proceedings can take from three months to a year, while claims brought to the federal Supreme Court can reach up to six years.
An appeal (Berufung) may be brought against the decision of the Court of First Instance if the objected amount in dispute exceeds €600. An appeal will also be admitted by the Court of First Instance if a case involves a question of principle or necessitates revision of the law in order to ensure "consistent jurisprudence".
Enforcement of a Legal Decision
Enforcement may commence once a final judgement is made. If debtors fail to respect a judgment, their bank accounts may be closed and/or a local bailiff can proceed with the seizure and sale of their property.
For foreign awards, in order to obtain an exequatur, the creditor needs a notarised German translation of the decision which also has to be recognised, an enforcement order of this judgment, and an execution clause. Judgments of courts of EU member states are recognised without further procedure – unless certain restrictions arising from European law are applicable.
Insolvency Proceedings
Out-of Court proceedings
Debtors may attempt to renegotiate their debts with their creditors, which helps to protect debtors from early payment requests. However, the procedure is in the creditors' interest as it can be faster and tends to be less expensive than formal insolvency.
Following a petition filed before insolvency court on the basis of illiquidity or over-indebtedness, the court may open preliminary insolvency proceedings, where it appoints a preliminary administration aimed at exploring the chances of restructuring the company. If the administration authorizes this restructuration, it then initiates formal proceedings and nominates an administrator in charge of continuing the debtor's business whilst preserving its assets.
Liquidation may be initiated upon demand of either the debtor or the creditor provided that the debtor is unable to settle its debts as they fall due. Once recognized through a liquidation decision and once the company has been removed from the register, the creditors must file their claims with the liquidation administrator within three months of the publication.
Retention of title
This is a written clause in the contract in which the supplier will retain the ownership over the delivered goods until the buyer has made full payment of the price. There are three versions of this retention:
- simple retention: the supplier will retain the ownership over the goods supplied until full payment is made by the buyer;
- expanded retention: the retention is expended to further sale of the subsequent goods; the buyer will assign to the initial supplier the claims issued form the resale to a third party;
- extended retention: the retention is extended to the goods processed into a new product and the initial supplier remains the owner or the co-owner up to the value of his delivery.

It started at 6:34 p.m. Monday. Abdulla Riyaz (@riyazabdulla), whose Twitter bio describes him as commissioner of the Maldives Police Service (MPS), published the following on his personal account: "MPS decides NOT to cooperate to Raajje TV [sic]. A statement will be released today."
Raajje TV, for those not following CPJ's Maldives coverage, is aligned with the political opposition. The station's journalists cite a pattern of police harassment following what they describe as a military coup in February, which forced Maldivian Democracy Party (MDP) founder Mohamed Nasheed from the presidency. MDP activists have vowed to hold street protests until Nasheed's successor, Mohamed Waheed Hassan, calls presidential elections. Hassan's government says Nasheed resigned, and the MDP's violent demonstrations make the country too unstable to call a vote this year. They say Raajje TV journalists are on the streets as activists, not as objective observers.
On Sunday, Raajje TV broadcast closed-circuit footage that purportedly showed police officers siphoning gas from a private motorbike, according to local independent news website Minivan News. Police said the officers were confiscating the equipment as evidence, and were not stealing anything, according to Minivan News. Raajje TV told the website that police had declined comment prior to its broadcast. The Broadcasting Commission has ordered Raajje TV to apologize, and the station said it was seeking legal advice, local news reports said.
That was the backdrop to Riyaz' tweet and the police statement that followed. We haven't seen a full English translation of the statement, but Minivan News and Haveeru Online both cite excerpts. "Raajje TV's broadcasting of false and baseless content about the police institution is seen to be carried out for the political benefit of certain parties and such actions neither fit in with the norms of professional journalism or the principles followed by media outlets of other democratic countries," the Minivan News translation reads.
What does it mean for police to deny cooperation to a news outlet? Police spokesman Hassan Haneef told CPJ by telephone he would respond to emailed questions, and we'll share his comments as soon as we get them. In the meantime, the debate about possible interpretations is playing out online. Here are some comments, edited for clarity, from both sides:
@progressiveprt: Hatemongoring and spreading fabricated news by RaajjeTV in Maldives cannot be freedom [of] expression
@Raajje_tv: Maldives police ... will not corporate with RaajjeTV putting our staff and journalists at a greater risk
@anuahsa: #Maldives Police officially decides to not 'cooperate' with @Raajje_tv. No protection for journalists?
@TroxBro: will not cooperate or will not protect?
@shafaum: whn journalists behave more like activists u dont giv them protections [sic]
CPJ's take? The safety of all journalists must be assured. "All sides must respect the role of news outlets and allow journalists free and safe access to cover the protests as they continue to unfold," CPJ Asia Program Coordinator Bob Dietz said this month.

Today the Church remembers the slaughter of the innocents, Herod's savage massacre of all the children two years and younger in the region of Bethlehem after Jesus' birth. The story is recounted in Matthew 2.
Who was Herod? How did he become king? How were the Romans involved in Palestinian political affairs? Understanding the historical backdrop of first-century Judea helps us put the story in perspective. It also reveals its historical plausibility. This podcast will give you the complete run down.

According to Randall Bray, who reported the crime around 6:45 a.m., the first thing he noticed was the 1990 Chevy pickup was missing and after he started checking around, he realized that other property was also gone.
"The vandals broke a window to gain entry into the office," Bray said, "and the room was trashed. I also discovered that the back door of the storage trailer had been broken."
Bray says that chain saws, copper wiring, a nail gun and other items were unaccounted for, with an estimated value in the thousands.
"They stole a GE Camera I had in the office," said Secretary Vickie Hudson, "that had pictures of my late mother on the card."
Mr. Bray said that neighbors recall hearing a loud vehicle around midnight. There was a trail of copper down Collins Road, up to Hudson Road and then Wooten Park.
The Jackson County Sheriffs Department said a road crew discovered the truck on Scaggs Branch Road around 7:00 a.m. that morning and Macon County was notified.
It seems the vehicle ran out of gas and the culprits run it off an embankment. Randall Bray went to the scene and retrieved the pickup. "It had a busted grill, several dents and the muffler was torn off, but we were actually able to drive it back to Red Boiling Springs."
"I would like to have my SD card returned that was in my camera," said Vickie. "It has irreplaceable pictures of my deceased mother."
Detective Daryl Taylor and Deputy Kyle Petty are still investigating the crime. If you have any information involving this case please contact the Macon County Sheriffs Office.

Daredevil in Jeans: What's Next for Nik Wallenda?
After successfully crossing the Grand Canyon on a high-wire, Nik Wallenda talks with Wendy Bounds about Dad jeans, his next death-defying project and whether his kids will follow in his daredevil footsteps. Photo: AP.

Statements on Auditing No. 23
December 1947
Clarification of Accountant's Report When Opinion Is Omitted
1, The presentation of financial statements on the stationery or in a report of an independent public accountant without a definitive expression clearly indicating the representations he is making as to their fairness tends to create uncertainties in the minds of those who do not have special information regarding the preparation of the financial statements. In such cases, these third parties have no basis for determining what inferences are warranted by the association of the accountant's name with the financial statements and may place undue reliance upon them.
2, Illustrative of the practices which frequently give rise to such uncertainties are the following:
(a) The presentation of financial statements on the stationery of the accountant without comment, opinion, or signature; or with the assertion that the statements are "for management purposes only."
(b) The omission of an expression of opinion or of a specific dis-claimer of an opinion in a report of an accountant in which financial statements and comments on the scope of the audit are included.
3. In the first case it is not clear whether, by his silence, the ac-countant intends to express unequivocal satisfaction with the finan-cial statements or whether he intends to disclaim any opinion at all. The assertion that the statements are "for management purposes only" leaves the reader in doubt as to whether it indicates a limita-tion on the scope of the audit examination, whether it merely desig-nates the form in which fully-approved statements are presented, or whether it has some other significance. In the second case, there is a review of the accountant's procedures, but it is not clear whether those procedures were sufficient to permit the expression of an opinion.
Issued by the Committee on Auditing Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 13 East 41st Street, New York 17, N. Y.

I have muskrats, what do I do? Geoff – Star Junction, PA
When people tell you that digging a farm pond will coax Mother Nature into your backyard you can't help but get glassy eyed and daydream of giant bucks wandering by to drink from the pond and cute rabbits frolicking by the water's edge. Now that the pond is in place it seems as if Mother Nature gave you the old "Bait and Switch" as you trip over collapsed trenches in your yard and patch leaky dams caused by muskrats.
Muskrats, at times, can actually be a cool addition to your pond. They will eat some of the weeds that grow around your pond and it is fun to watch them sunbathe and swim around in your pond. However, if it seems like you are spending more time fixing your pond after they wreak havoc on fountain and pump power cords or collapse the perimeter of your pond, then it is time to ask them to move on.
Sometimes ridding your pond of muskrats is a simple as disrupting or removing their habitat. Running an Aeration System in the pond will create a subtle wake that muskrats sometimes find annoying. One of the benefits of aeration is that is also helps reduce and prevent weed growth. If you go around and treat the weeds in your pond this season you will successfully remove some of their habitat and your aeration will help prevent it from growing back next season. There are many tools available to aid in your quest for a weed free pond that range from Aquatic Algaecides and Herbicides, to Lake Rakes and Weed Razers. When possible, fill in or collapse any holes they dig as this can deter them from sticking around as well.
If your resident muskrats are not to keen on picking up subtle hints, then it's time to get physical. Purchase a Muskrat Trap or two, place them near their tunnels with some bait (apples work well) and wait for them to investigate. Once you have them under lock and key it is time to take them for a long trip to relocate them to a distant pond or lake.
For more information on ridding your pond of muskrats and a couple extra cool facts read back to our previous Blog on the topic.
POND TALK: Do you enjoy seeing muskrats in your pond? If not how did you get them to call someone else's pond home?

How do I enable veth for BeagleBoard
I already placed a question on the Ubuntu for BeagleBone discussion page but didn't get an answer yet. Maybe you could step in. I need to use Linux containers (LXC) on my BeagleBone but the virtual network interface module veth dosn't seem to be enabled in the standard build. Could you tell me how to get it enabled? --XXLRay (talk) 05:10, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
It's pretty easy to enable it with my kernel scripts, so here for hints:
--RobertCNelson (talk) 16:35, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the answer but I think I did not explain the issue well enough. I already know how to compile a kernel and I think I also know which option exactly is needed.
- My problem is that the pre-build Ubuntu image from this Wiki page does not have veth support. I now see two solutions to overcome this problem:
- Install Ubuntu from the given image, download the kernel sources and re-compile the kernel with veth enabled
- Adjust the image build script to create the Ubuntu beaglebone image with veth enabled.
- So far I was looking at the script beagleboard.org_image.sh but could not find out whether this compiles the kernel or just downloads it. Furthermore would I prefer not to create the kernel config from scratch but just to take one that works fine and only change the veth option.
- What I need to know is where I can get the kernel sources that are used for the pre-build image, where I can get the depending kernel config that creates a kernel that runs on a beaglebone and whether the script allows a direct way to set the kernel config.
- --XXLRay (talk) 10:35, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
The "beagleboard.org_image.sh" doesn't build anything, it just builds an image from *.deb packages.
The kernel patch-set is always available on https://rcn-ee.net/deb/ and https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel just take the output of 'uname -r' to find the exact tag/patchset. --RobertCNelson (talk) 13:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for coming back to me. I used the last days trying to get it running but unfortunately I haven't succeeded yet.
- I started to fetch the kernel sources on my own but unfortunately encounter problems when I try to build the kernel. This is what I did (on the beagle) so far:
- wget https://rcn-ee.net/deb/trusty-armhf/v3.8.13-bone54/linux-image-3.8.13-bone54_1.0trusty_armhf.deb
- dpkg -i linux-headers-3.8.13-bone54_1.0trusty_armhf.deb
- cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone54
- nano .config: CONFIGH_VETH=m
- make deb-pkg
- Now I encounter the error message "make[3]: *** No rule to make target `arch/arm/tools/gen-mach-types', needed by `include/generated/mach-types.h'. Stop." and the directory /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone54/arch/arm/tools/ is indeed empty.
- That is why I switched to using your scripts (which seems to be a lot more comfortable)
- git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel.git
- cd stable-kernel
- git checkout origin/v3.9.x -b tmp
- git config --global user.name "Dummy"
- git config --global user.email "firstname.lastname@example.com"
- ./build_kernel.sh
- Set "Device Drivers -> Network device support -> Virtual ethernet pair device" to 'M'
- ./tools/install_kernel.sh
- Unfortunately the board still boots the old kernel.
- As follows I tried to install the new kernel by using the package method
- ./build_deb.sh
- dpkg -i ~ubuntu/stable-kernel/deploy/linux-image-3.9.11-x5_1.0cross_armhf.deb
- dpkg -i ~ubuntu/stable-kernel/deploy/linux-headers-3.9.11-x5_1.0cross_armhf.deb
- Same problem as before.
- I wanted to change the default kernel but there seems to be no grub installed.
- update-grub
- update-grub: command not found
- ls /boot/grub
ls: cannot access /boot/grub: No such file or directory

I was invited to speak at a Victorian tea this weekend. I had been asked to wear a period costume, which the organizers rented for me. I got to pick out a lovely Victorian dress from a local costume shop. I would not have been able to choose the dress I chose if I had not had reconstructive surgery. There were other dresses I could have chosen, but this one, a bright red off the shoulder and tightly laced in the back, looked terrific on me. I wore it with a black feather boa and long black gloves. It was a spectacular event, and I rose to the occasion.
Speaking to large crowds is something I enjoy. I also train others to do it. Part of the success in my method comes with being confident in what you are wearing so that you do not have to be pulling on a hem, or praying that you do not spill out of your attire. I remember well the first few months after my mastectomy when I was only comfortable in a cami with fiberfill in place of my breast. Well, inevitably, by 3:00 p.m each day, my "breast" would be on my shoulder. Often, my youngest son, (twelve at the time), would say, "Mom, your boob is sliding up again."
Reconstruction has been a blessing for me. I have enjoyed this hot humid summer in t-shirts and tank tops with no concern of a full bra and heavy silicone prosthesis. I know it is a little thing when you regain your health and life after surgery and treatment, but my goal is to live as outwardly unaffected by cancer as possible. It is my way of winning. A couple of weeks ago a woman in her early 60s came into my husband's store and told me about her breast cancer. When I told her I also had battled breast cancer and had undergone reconstructive surgery, she was quite interested in the DIEP procedure. Her complaint was the discomfort in the way her clothes were fitting. Other health problems ruled out other types of reconstruction, but it was something she really wanted.
It is clear that I will require more plastic surgery to my breasts. One is considerably smaller than the other and has an indent. I just haven't been able to schedule the final procedures. Even with these imperfections, it still makes things much easier and makes me feel more normal.
Many of you have commented on past reconstructive blogs and mentioned that you were considering a procedure; did you go ahead with it? How did it turn out?

Metal Puzzles
The 9 Linked Rings (often called the Chinese Ring puzzle) is said to date back to the Song dynasty (960-1129). It could be the earliest known metal puzzle ever. And still it's being enjoyed (well, at least puzzled over!) by people today. You'll find it and many, many other metal puzzles in this category.

Hanayama Cast Mobius Maze puzzleTo remove the metal disc from the mobius loop you'll need to negotiate...$15.45
When we think of metal puzzles many of us think of small wire puzzles where you need to disentangle the two interlinked parts. And there are many examples of these types of puzzles in our online shop. But there are many other types of puzzles made in metal too.
Metal is a very exact medium to work in and puzzles often need that exactness to ensure they work correctly so the two fit very well together. And metal is strong. As a general rule (with the exception of a very few specific instructions in particular puzzles) we say you are not supposed to use force to separate part of a puzzle. But what if the frustration just gets to you? Most metal puzzles will probably survive a little bit rougher treatment than puzzles made of other materials. We do not however condone tossing them out the window out of sheer frustration!!!
These days there are many mechanical puzzle categories where metal is used to make the puzzles. Cast metal puzzles that you disentangle, metal maze type puzzles, puzzle locks, puzzle bolts, and very high end engineered take apart and sequential discovery puzzles. And here at Mr Puzzle you'll find them all.
One of the biggest names in metal puzzles these days is Hanayama. They're bringing out new designs to challenge our thinking every year across six different degrees of difficulty. And puzzle lovers want to collect them all. You'll need persistence to figure out how to disassemble their mechanisms. Maybe by rotating, sliding and some other manipulation the cast metal pieces will come apart but one thing is for sure, they'll keep you puzzling for hours.
Wil Strijbos is another puzzle inventor and maker who uses the precision of metal to make puzzles that really test the cognitive processes of the puzzler. He is a small volume manufacturer concentrating on smaller quantities of very precisely engineered aluminum puzzles. People are very prepared to wait a long time for the chance to get a Wil Strijbos puzzle!
Metal has been used for some of the oldest puzzles we know too. The Chinese Ring Puzzle (aka The Nine Linked Rings), probably China's most famous puzzle ever was proven by Stewart Culin (an American ethnographer 1858-1929) to have been invented by the Chinese general Hung Ming in the 2nd century AD.
From contemporary to historical, fun to very difficult, inexpensive to high end precision, if you're thinking about building your metal puzzle collection then look no further than Mr Puzzle. At any one time we've usually got more than 50 different types of metal puzzle on the website.

Selected dialogue from All My Children's April 28, 2008 episode featuring Angie, Jesse, Frankie and Cassandra.
Angie: Frankie, could you put these on cassandra's bed, please?
Frrankie: Ma, she's already got six pillows on her bed.
Jesse: And she likes red peppers, not green.
Angie: You know what? That's fine, that's fine. Make fun of your wife and your mother. Don't care. My baby's coming home and I am tooo happy to care what either of you have to...
Frankie: Ok, so, what if I said I was going to take these pillows and throw them out the window?
Angie: All of the people that I love in one room.
Jesse: Kind of makes you feel bad about that "pillows out the window" remark, right?
[Frankie laughs]
Frankie: No, this is purely a professional and medical concern. I mean, my mother could explode from too much happiness. Angie: Well, we'll find out, my daughter home, my family together, just the way it was meant to be.
Jesse: I know I'm up in there somewhere. So, let's go get her. All right, get all your peeps in one room and see if you explode. Come on.
Angie: Oh, wait a minute.
Jesse: Oh, I should change?
Angie: No, no, no.
Jesse: You don't like what I'm wearing.
Angie: No, you're fine, baby. Listen, I need a favor. You know, it seems like forever since Cass has been home and as great as this all feels for me --
Jesse: Might be weird for her, right?
Angie: A little.
Jesse: So, you want to go by yourself?
Angie: Do you mind?
Jesse: No, I don't mind. I'll just finish up over here.
Angie: I love you.
Jesse: I know you do. You better love me.
Angie: All right. Now, don't mess up the house.
Jesse: Yes, ma'am.
Frankie: Don't drive too fast.
Angie: And you, clean your room.
[Jesse laughs]
Frankie: She -- clean my room?
Jesse: I can't believe she just said that to you. Clean your -- is it clean?
[Plate breaks]
Jesse: Damn it!
Frankie: Oh, nice going, papa bear.
Jesse: Shut up. Give me a broom.
Frankie: Here you go.
Jesse: Thanks, man. Whoo.
Frankie: You, uh -- you good?
Jesse: What's that supposed to mean? I'm meeting your sister today, why wouldn't I be good?
Frankie: Oh, sooky, sooky, now.
Jesse: "Sooky"?
Frankie: After 20 years on the run, big bad Jesse Hubbard is actually --
Jesse: Nervous, I know. Pathetic, right? And all because of a little girl.
Frankie: Oh, little girl? No, no, that's a bad idea calling her that. Bad.
Jesse: Really? Good looking out.
Frankie: Now, you do know that little girls, they can --
[Frankie sniffs]
Frankie: They can smell fear.
Jesse: Listen to me. Your mother is the woman of my dreams. Your mother has a daughter and that daughter I would like to like me. All right? You got a problem with that?
Frankie: No, you -- you may not like her.
Jesse: Please, man. She's your mother's daughter. I love her already.
Jesse: Whoo, it's hot. If she likes red peppers, the salsa should be cool, right?
Frankie: Sucker.
Jesse: Oh, you didn't just -- I'm going to tell your momma on you.
Frankie: Please.
Jesse: You're jealous.
Frankie: Please. You put six pillows on my bed and I have to sleep on the floor.
Jesse: So, what's she like, this Cassandra Foster?
Frankie: Well, she's way more artsy than me, a little flaky, oh, deep, deep. She writes poetry, but she won't let nobody take a look. Now, her art -- yeah, you can take a look at that, but her poetry, forget about it.
Jesse: Got it. So, personality-wise?
Frankie: You said it. She is her mother's daughter -- stubborn.
Jesse: Strength.
Frankie: And she can fly off like you have no idea.
Jesse: Passion. Chalk it up to intensity. Kind of like you, no?
[Frankie laughs]
Frankie: Dad, she's 18 years old. She's a -- she's a p-p-pain in the ass.
Jesse: Well, she can be a p-p-pain wherever she wants to as long as she's cool with me being with your mom.
Angie: It's ok to be scared.
Cassandra: I'm not.
Angie: I am.
Cassandra: You know, maybe I am thirsty. So, just sit here and I'll just go get us some --
Angie: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you don't.
Cassandra: Mom, what? What do you want me to say? Yeah, I mean, it's a little weird that since the last time I saw you, you've fallen in love with Frankie's dad all over again. And who, by the way, we all thought was dead.
Angie: Well, when you put it that way.
Cassandra: It's kind of out there, right?
Angie: There is so much more to tell you, but not here and not yet.
Cassandra: Ok, so we're going to do this. We're going to your place, yours and Jesse's.
Angie: And Frankie's and yours. And you can stay as long as you want, sweetheart. You know, we can drive past PVU if you want, my alma mater. It has a wonderful pre-med program, arts, music --
Cassandra: Ok, whoa, whoa.
Angie: Too much?
Cassandra: And too fast.
Angie: I'll tell you what. Let's go see about the bags. We'll start from there, ok?
Cassandra: Yes, mother. Yes, let us do so.
[Angie and cassandra laugh]
Jesse: Ok.
Frankie: Oh, look at you. Breathe.
Jesse: Shut up.
Frankie: Breathe.
Jesse: Shut up.
Frankie: Yeah, you better get loose -- snap, crack, and pop because in about three minutes, Cass is going to have you wrapped around her finger.
Jesse: I'm going to pop you, ok? Watch. Don't come for me --
[Cassandra cackles]
Cassandra: Filbert!
Frankie: Dorkas.
Cassandra: Get over here.
Jesse: Filbert.
Frankie: Dorkas.
[Frankie laughs]
Frankie: Oh.
Cassandra: Oh! I missed you! Did you miss me?
Frankie: I missed you. Yes, I did. It's been too long. You're looking grown. Hmm. Hmm.
Cassandra: You're him. You're Jesse.

It's a girl!
NBC's Savannah Guthrie and husband Mike Feldman welcomed daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman early Wednesday, the "Today" show revealed.
Vale tipped the scales at 8 pounds, 5 ounces, the "Today" team said on Thursday's broadcast. She measured 19.5 inches long.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"I think we found heaven in this little hospital room in New York City," Guthrie said.
She described Vale, her first child, as having "blue eyes, a little bit of blondish hair and the chubbiest cheeks you've ever seen," Today.com also reported.
The "Today" co-anchor had hinted on Twitter that her little one had arrived about a half hour before the official reveal.
My 3am wake up call sounds a lot different now. Sweeter... — Savannah Guthrie (@SavannahGuthrie) August 14, 2014
Guthrie went on maternity leave earlier this week and had chronicled her pregnancy for Today.com.
Guthrie announced in March that she had wed Feldman and the pair were expecting their first baby in the summer.
The couple broke the pregnancy news to their wedding guests, which included "Today's" Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb and Willie Geist, as well as Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi.
"Our hearts (and twitter feeds) are overflowing with joy," Feldman tweeted at the time.
Feldman is a founding partner and managing director of communications firm The Glover Park Group, and was a former senior adviser and traveling chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore. He proposed to Guthrie in Turks and Caicos back in May, according to E! News.

The Raiders pushed up their meeting with Louisiana State quarterback Zach Mettenberger to Tuesday as Mettenberger attempts to accommodate a number of suitors.
Mettenberger's pro day is scheduled for Wednesday. Rather than cram in too much that day, Mettenberger set up meetings with the Raiders and New England Patriots on Tuesday, according to NFL Network.
He is the latest in a long line of quarterbacks that the Raiders are checking out in advance of the NFL draft. Earlier, the Raiders attended the pro days of Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, David Fales and Derek Carr.
The Raiders hold the rights to the fifth pick in the draft, which begins May 8. It's conceivable that the Raiders will use one of their picks on a quarterback, even though they have four on their roster right now.
None of the four on the Raiders roster – Matt Schaub, Matt McGloin, Terrelle Pryor and Trent Edwards – is considered a long-term solution.
Mettenberger still is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that he suffered in a game late last season. The injury required surgery, but Mettenberger said he intends to go through all the drills expected of a quarterback in a pre-draft workout.
Manziel, Bortles, Bridgewater and Carr are viewed as likely first-round picks. Fales and Mettenberger are projected to go in the mid rounds, perhaps as high as the second round.
Therefore, if the Raiders use their first-round pick on a player at a position other than quarterback, Mettenberger becomes more of a possibility.
The Raiders hosted Manziel at their facility on Sunday and Monday. More quarterbacks are slated to make their way to Alameda in the coming days for face-to-face visits with coach Dennis Allen, general manager Reggie McKenzie, offensive coordinator Greg Olson and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, among others.

Thats just priceless. All we have is a viagra tie and clock!
I'm always amazed at the ingenuity of people who invent these things.
I was under the impression there was an ED pen where you push a button and the pen clip "rises", but that takes the cake.
Yeah, you are right. I actually had one of those, but my secretary stole it. It was made by Levitra, and you can find them on ebay.
wow..that is so cool!!
Every viagra pen I ever got from a rep died right away.

On Ringer
Written by Duana
Ringer Season 1 Episode 1 recap
So okay. When we discussed what we were going to review for the site this year, Ringer was obviously at the top of our list. Tuesday nights are a very, very busy time on the TV, so you'll forgive my lateness in getting here.
But the thing is, this first episode, it requires less of a recap – and more of a …discussion, don't you think?
Okay, if you missed it, the deal is as follows: Bridget is an alcoholic or drug addict, she's on the run because she witnessed a murder. Bridget sees her sister Siobhan for the first time in years, Siobhan says she can stay with her for a bit …
And then they go out on the world's most hysterical boat trip.
I know that we have to discuss the boat trip further but let's just continue for a second.
So Siobhan jumps off the boat, Bridget becomes her, complete with the following:
-Giant swanky apartment
-Icy British husbands
-Having affairs with writers
-Redheaded best friends
-Bratty boarding school daughters
-Secret pregnancies that, for some reason, people believe they can replicate in their own, non-sex-having wombs.
-Gun fighting
-instructional graphic over the Eiffel tower that reads: 'Paris'
So with all this campy deliciousness, it should have been great, right?
In the words of my friend Emily, it was "so so so boring".
But as I always say, you have to give it two episodes – although I might start to revise that to three, or that you have to give it two that aren't the pilot. Pilots are difficult, and so many things can change once they're put together. But Ringer – it had all of the vulnerability of any generic blonde without the zip and sarcasm and fun that makes it important that this character is played by Sarah Michelle Gellar instead of anyone else.
It's clear from the very last shot that Siobhan – the real one – is alive and well and will cause problems. It's also clear that Bridget's substance abuse problem isn't going away, which I really appreciate.
But SMG's Bridget-in-Siobhan character spent so much time just being wide-eyed and shocked at the moral-less world, and really, are we not tired of this trope yet? People with money are actually less moral than the 'lowlives' who get into running from murderers, etc?
And then, there was the boat.
I don't know.
Ringer was not one of the pilots I saw early, but it was out there for the seeing. And more than a few critics either smirked a bit at the HORRIFYING greenscreen during the boat scene (If you don't care about Ringer, this is still worth watching on YouTube) but didn't mention it, or alternately they hoped that Ringer was going to become that type of show. Campy, tongue-in-cheek, etc. A bit Dynasty-esque.
On Tuesday though, nothing had changed – including that scene. They didn't reshoot, but they also didn't make any other parts of the show campy. Do you think it's an anomaly or a preview?
In any event, this should get entertaining. SMG is giving Dobrev a run for her money in the 'playing two characters at once' arena. They've spent a lot of money finding many brunet men just a little different than the ones beside them, and someone clearly has high hopes for the redhead.
So with luck, this will be some fun. Without luck…we'll see. Are you in?

High-powered supporters come together to support Denver Mayor Michael Hancock
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock is bringing together a big group of powerful movers and shakers, some of them potentially masked, for a fundraiser Wednesday night.
The Mardi Gras-themed event — masks encouraged — has a list of "co-chairs" that include only big names: developers and home-builders, oil and gas executives, real estate executives, bankers and insurance executives, a hotel magnate, a DISH Network executive, top-dollar PR spinmeisters, high-powered lawyers and lobbyists, and Hancock's chief of staff, Janice Sinden. Before joining his administration, Sinden was a high-powered connector as the leader of Colorado Concern, a group that represents prominent business leaders.Add to the list "honored guest" Gov. John Hickenlooper, Hancock's predecessor as mayor of Denver.
Attendees are asked to contribute $1,000 at the swanky soiree in Cherry Creek North to benefit Hancock's campaign for re-election
Hancock is seeking a second term in the May 5 election without much of a challenge. He has four opponents (down from five after a recent withdrawal), but none have raised any money of note or given Hancock reason to sweat.
It would be tough to single out just a few of the co-chairs for Wednesday's event without dimming the wattage of others. Suffice it to say, these are folks who get things done behind the scenes in metro Denver and beyond. The guest list makes this potentially the biggest political fundraiser of Denver's quiet municipal election season.

How does the new UPC system work? The Case for the Readable Code By DAVID L. FLEISHER / National Director, Retailing Services, St. Louis The housewife will soon be noticing some unusual changes when she visits the local supermarket. Product labels will not be marked with the price; instead, the price will appear on the shelf on which the product is found. When the cus-tomer reaches the checkout lane, she will not hear the noise of keys being punched on a mechanical cash register. Instead, the checker will pass each item across a slot in the checkout counter, and the price will appear instantly on the display screen of an electronic po/n£-of-sa/e terminal. This system will speed up the flow of traffic through the checkout lane. All of these changes are part of the new technology being adopted by the supermarket industry. Supermarket executives face shrinking profits. Rising prices, coupled with increased operating costs, have caused their net to fall below one percent of sales over the past year. Many large chains have reported losses. Can anything be done about reduced profits? One an-swer may be to use the Universal Product Code (UPC), recently adopted by the supermarket and food manufac-turing industries. UPC may not only reverse this downward trend in profitability but benefit consumers as well. When it is combined with increased automation at the checkout counter, in fact, the system may well revolutionize the food distribution process to the same extent that self-service supermarkets did more than 25 years ago. The UPC concept is not new. The idea of assigning a unique identification number to each product in a grocery store was first discussed in the 1930's. But it was not until an ad hoc committee was formed under the sponsorship of seven trade associations* in October, 1970, that real 'Cooperative Food Distributors of America, National American Wholesale Grocers' Association, National Association of Food Chains, National Associa-tion of Retail Grocers of the United States, Supermarket Institute, Grocery Manufacturers of America, and National Association of Convenience Stores. progress was made. The committee, comprised of eight food retailers/distributors and eight manufacturers, spear-headed a 30-month effort that culminated on April 3,1973, with the adoption of a machine-readable symbol—the last step required to establish the UPC program. The program's main features include: A numbering system consisting of 10 digits to identify each product. The first five digits identify the manufac-turer; the second five digits identify the item. The machine-readable code symbol, consisting of black and white bars to be read optically at the checkout counter, A Uniform Grocery Product Code Council (UGPCC), a non-profit corporation of 21 industry members, estab-lished to administer policy and procedures for the UPC. In order to obtain numbers, manufacturers, retailers, and dis-tributors are required to become members of UGPCC and pay a membership fee. The Distribution Number Bank, a corporation hired by the UGPCC to assign and maintain manufacturer code num-bers and operate an inquiry service. Food chains are installing electronic checkout systems to increase productivity and profits. (See accompanying article on their early use by jewel.) Systems installed today, however, still will not be able to take full advantage of UPC for a number of reasons, primarily because manufacturers are just beginning to apply numbers and symbols to prod-ucts. It probably will not be practical to place this scanning equipment at the checkout counter until approximately 50 to 75 percent of all items are encoded by the manufacturer. (The cost of applying symbols at store level is prohibitive— about 14 times as great as the cost at the time of manu-facture.) Studies estimate that wide scale encoding of grocery items will take place by 1975-1976. Meanwhile, scanning equipment which can read the UPC symbol has only recently been available commer-cially. During the past 18 months, the Kroger Company and • 43
