Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5,918, dated November 14, 1848; Reissued October 4, 1864., Nos. 1,783 and 1,784.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. TURNER, of the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Brakes for Railroad-Cars and other Purposes, which is described as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specification.
Figure 1 is a top view of two trucks and the bed, the body being removed. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the car complete. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a top view of the brake detached from the car and without the bumper, spring, and beam. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the same, the bumpers, springs, and beams being in place. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the bumper, spring, and beam. Fig. 7 is a side view of the beam and ,right angled plate. Fig. 8 is a sectional view of the bumper'and spring detached. Fig. 9 is a horizontal sett-ion showing one branch of the forked lock plate bent over the rib of the side plate.
The nature of my invention and improvement consists in a certain new and useful combination of horizontal transverse turning shafts, and pendant levers'attached to them to which are secured horizontal transverse bars having concave rubbers afiixed to press against the peripheries of the car wheels and intermediate suspended levers with similar transverse bars and concave rubbers and for the like purpose to those just mentioned placed against the opposite sides of the wheels the said pendant and suspended levers being connected by parallel longitudinal jointed screw rods and nuts, the upper end of the intermediate suspended levers being connected by transverse timbers the several series of rubbers attached to each car being actuated simultaneously by. the momentum of the car, and a corresponding resistance of the contiguous car by acting against the sliding bumpers, springs and bars which in turn act against the horizontal transverse timbers that connect the upper ends of the intermediate suspended levers by which the concave rubbers are made to clasp the wheels in pairs and thus to arrest the motion of the car gradually and without producing a sudden and violent shock, a s1milar operation being produced on the several cars of the train in quick succession, there being two series of rubbers and bumpers to each car operated simultaneously. Said brakes being so arranged and combined with windlasses on the platforms of the cars by means of levers and connecting rods, and chains that therubbers can be brought in contact with the wheels throughout the train simultaneously by the brakeman simply turning one of the windlasses.
The following is a description of the apparatus as applied to two trucks of a single car; All the cars of the train being pro vided in a similar manner, a description of one will suffice for the rest.
A A are two trucks for sustaining the body of the car, made int-he usual manner. B is the body of the car, also made in the usual-manner. V j V C C are two horizontal transverse shafts for each car having gudgeons at their ends a turning in boxes fastened to the inner sides of the side timbers of the trucks A.
D D &c. are sixteen short pendant levers attached to the trucks, four of which being secured attheir upper ends to the two shafts C C, eight being arranged between the four pairs of wheels of the two trucks and suspended by jointed rods E, to horizontal cross timbers F of the truck frame, and four being attached to two transverse parallel timbers G resting loosely upon ledges H formed 'onthe inner sides of the side timbers of the truck frames. I
I I &c. are eight horizontal transversebars of wood fastened to theaforesaid pendantlevers, one to each pair of levers, at or near thelower ends of thesame, to which bars the concave rubbersK are attached by means of right angled metallic plates L to parallel ears M' and joint pins N. The rubbers may be attached to the levers D and the connecting bars I arranged near the middle of the levers and the connecting rods passed through 7 them.
K,.- are the rubbers made of woodor other suitable material, the segment of a circle of the diameter ofthe wheels of the car. These rubbers are attached was transverse bars teracting the resistance of the opposite to prevent any strain on the axle of the car.
0 are jointed screw rods that connect the pendant levers together in pairs, there being one rod to each pair of levers provided with joints to enable the several parts to operate freely, and with screws and nuts to set the rubbers to the wheels. The jointed screw rods E are designedto connect the middle levers of each truck as well as to suspend them to the transverse timbers F. The rubbers are set by means of these screws and nuts in a position not to touch the peripheries of the wheels when the brake is not in action as shown in Fig. 2. In this figure the rubbers appear to touch the flanges of the wheels but do not touch them. a
P is a horizontal sliding bar with a right angled plate P fastened to it that strikes against the transverse bar Gr when moved by the bumper for the purpose of actuating the brake. This bar moves horizontally and longitudinally over the center of the truck frame between guide plates and in mortises or gains in the frame.
P is the right angled plate. The bar P is perforated vertically through near the middle of :its length with an oblong mortise Q, through which is passed a vertical bolt R that connects the body with the truck and over which the bar slides back and forth.
The vertical parallel plates P are fastened to the sides of the aforesaid sliding bar at the opposite end from ,that at which the right angled plate P is fastened. These plates are perforated near the middle with oblong openings 1? one in each plate; to admit an elliptical or other spring S for preventing a sudden shock in arresting or starting the cars. These plates at theirextremities are turned outwardly "at right angles forming projections P against which the edges of a forked sliding lock plate T attached to the end of a lever U arebrought in contact for preventing the bar P), from sliding while backing the cars. When the brake is in action these plates move longitudinally between two parallel stationary guide plates V fastened to the sides of a central timber V of the body frame. These stationary plates V are also perforated with oblong openings V through which is passed the elliptic spring S aforesaid. These guide plates are also turned outwardly at right angles at their outer extremities forming projections or stopsV for the opposite side of the lock plate to slide against and over perforated near one end with an oblong opening m into which the elliptic spring S is inserted after the sliding bumper. 1s 1nserted between the parallel plates P of the sliding bar P. The bumper is made stout at the outer end forming a shoulder.
The outer extremity of the stout portion of the bumper is formed into a fiat head X where it receives the concussion. When this end is struck it moves the bumper inward, compresses the springs in the mortises of .the plates of the sliding bar, moves the sliding bar P back causing the right angled plate P to strike the transverse bar G and thus to actuate the brake.
In drawing the cars by the bumpers the same spring is contracted in the mortises in an opposite direction, preventing a sudden jarin starting the train. 7 I
T is a. forked lock plate for locking the sliding bar and preventing it acting on the brake. This is done by raising itso as to bring its edges against the turned ends of the parallel plates asrepresented in Figs. 5 and 9. short end of a lever U whose fulcrum is at m and whose long end is attached to a vertical stem 2 which slides vertically in, aper tures in the frame. Whenthis stem is up or down it is held by a horizontal key a which prevents it from moving either way.
Z) is a lever whose fulcrum is at 0 on the transverse bar G and which lever is connected to the opposite parallel bar G 'by means of a connecting rod (Z. This lever is connected to a windlass e at either end of the car by means of a chain or rope f for the purpose of operating the brake by manual power instead of the momentum and resistance of the moving bodies.
The windlasses are made in the usual manner having ratchet wheels 9 and palls h on them of the usual form V arrangement for holding them in the desired posit-ion.
, The simultaneous action of the eight rubbers on thefour wheels of each truckis produced inthe following manner. The movement of the right'angled plate P attached 'tothe sliding bar P toward the center of the car at (Z brings the plate in contact withthe bar G and causes it, together with the pendant lever D and bars I, through the intervention of the connecting rods 0 and E, to move in the same direction except the upper. end of the lever attached to the rock shaft C which remains in one position, the lowerend moving toward the center and the rub- The forked lock is attached to the bers K on the right of the Wheels to strike th peripheries of the wheels, when the upper ends of the levers D commence to turn in the arc of a circle, the rods 0 serving as fulcra, causing the movement of the rubbers on the left of the wheels to be reversed or moved toward the wheels until they touch the peripheries when they will counteract or resist the pressure of the rubbers on the opposite sides.
When the locomotive is arrested by shutting off the steam-0r by the application of a hand brake, or by other means-the bumper X of the forward car is brought into contact with the bumper of the tender by the momentum of the car and caused to slide inward toward the center of the car and at the same time to act against the spring S and the spring S against the slide P causing the slide to move toward the center of the car.
and against the transverse bar G which it moves toward the centerof the car, bringing the rubbers K against the wheels through the agency of the several connecting screw rods 0 and E that connect the levers together, to which the bars and rubbers are aflixedproducing an equal pressure on the opposite sides of the wheels by which the axle is relieved from all strain. A similar effect is produced on the wheels of the otheritruck by a similar arrangement of rubbers, bars, levers, and rods actuated by a similarly constructed bumper spring and slide moved by the momentum of the next car in the train whose bumper strikes the last named bumper and in this manner actuating all the bumpers, slides, and rubbers in quick succession throughout the entire train.
When the Windlass c is turned by hand it winds the chain f and turns the lever b on its movable fulcrumcat the same time draws the bars G G toward each other through the agency of the connecting rod or chain which puts in simultaneous action all the bars, rods and rubbers attached to the pair of trucks of the car body.
In order to lock the slides and prevent their action on the brakes as must be done in case of backing the train, the forked lock plate T must be raised and brought between the projections P V on the sides of the parallel plates by depressing the rod .2 against the lever. The bumper then acts in the usual manner.
The before described combination of rubbers, rods, levers and bumpers is susceptible of various modifications without changing the general principle on which it operates; for instance, the pendant levers may be concave and act as rubbers and may be hinged to the frame of the car and be connected by rods and levers actuated by horizontal longitudinal slides connected to levers by slots, or oblong mortises or otherwise. Said slides being moved by bumpers to be composed of parallel rods, plates and spiral springs and prevented from operating by keys or bolts affixed to right angled levers forced through the horizontal slides to prevent the bumpers .acting on them when backing the cars, &c.,
at other times; said slides being made with stops on them against which transverse parallel plates of the bumpers strike;. between Which spiral springs may be placed for breaking the shock so that when the bumper is pressed inward either by the momentum of the car bringing it in contact 7 with thebufi'er of the locomotive or car forward of it or otherwise it may press back the forward transverse plate, causing the spiral springs to contract, forcing their opposite ends against the rear transverse plate and press said plate against a shoulder on the horizontal sliding connecting rod, thus causing the rubbers to act on the wheels the pendant rubber on one side of'the wheel acting as the fulcrum of the lever which acts on the opposite pendant rubber causing the rubbers or pendant levers to embrace the peripheries of the wheels simultaneously and on the principles above stated. Thesliding bar may be locked tothe bumper to prevent actuating the brake while backing by means of a sliding bolt, spring pin or any suitable mechanical device instead of the before described lock plate.
To prevent the action of the rubbers on the wheels in backing the cars a lever for actuating the rubbers connected by suitable rods and chains may be so arranged asto be struck by the sliding bar when required and I or cars of the train, on opposite sides, by the momentum and resistance of the several cars, and the consequent contact of the bumpers, which actuate the rubbers, and by which the motion of the cars is arrested; that is to say, I claim the combinations of the rubbers K, levers D, shafts C, G, bars I, and rods 0, E, arranged and operated in the manner and for the purpose above set forth, or other mode, substantially the same; or operated by manual power applied through the agency of the windlasses e, chains f, levers b,
rods 0! or other similar contrivances.
2. I claim the manner of constructing the sliding spring bumper for operating the brake by the momentum and resistance of the combination and arrangement of them and 10 cars as described; that is to say, I claim the mode of operation is considered new. combination of the slide P with the bumper In testimony whereof I have hereunto X, and, spring S constructed, arranged and signed my name before two subscribing witoperating in the manner described; or other nesses this 23d day of March, 1848.

The Securities & Exchange Commission will no longer let companies caught in illegal activity have their cake and eat it, too. The commission's is ceasing its much-criticized practice of allowing companies that have admitted to wrongdoing in criminal cases of securities fraud to cop a plea saying they "neither admit nor deny" those admitted wrongdoings in a separate SEC fraud case. The new approach applies as well to individuals who find themselves in that situation.
Said SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami in a statement on Friday: "The new policy does not require admissions or adjudications of fact beyond those already made in criminal cases, but eliminates language that may be construed as inconsistent with admissions or findings that have already been made in the criminal cases."

DENVER — Canadian gray wolves are by all accounts thriving in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Lakes region, but getting the wolf's removal from the Endangered Species List won't be easy.
Even as children in rural New Mexico take refuge from wolves in "kid cages" at school bus stops, wildlife lovers and environmentalists are fighting tooth and nail the proposal by the Fish and Wildlife Service to delist the species.
The standoff over wolves comes as the latest example of conflict over the Endangered Species Act, which marks its 40th anniversary this year amid what critics describe as its use as a tool by environmental groups to stunt economic growth and development.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Energy and Environment
"As is obvious with the wolf, we're talking about a species that is not in danger of extinction by any definition or any standard," said Greg Walcher, former head of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and author of Smoking Them Out: The Theft of the Environment and How to Take It Back (American Tradition Institute, 2013.).
"There's no way you can escape the conclusion that there's some agenda at work here other than the Endangered Species Act or other than the environment. It's all about power and money and control," Mr. Walcher said. "There's a reason they haven't reintroduced grizzly bears in California, and of course there's a lot of cynical Westerners like me who say if they want to reintroduce wolves, let's put them in Boulder where they want them. But that isn't where they go."
Advocates oppose delisting
Wolf advocates may or may not have the facts on their side, but there's no doubt they have the passion: Every one of the 100-plus speakers at the agency's hearing last week in Denver's Paramount Theater testified against the delisting proposal. Some of them cried during their comments, while others waved signs and wore wolf hats.
"I beg you guys not to delist these animals," said Phillip Trella, a volunteer at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in Divide. "Don't be blinded by the politics of those who wish to hunt and massacre these beautiful creatures. To exterminate the wolves is downright wrong. Wolves cannot vote, but those who embrace them can."
And Colorado doesn't even have wolves in the wild, at least not yet. But the turnout at the Denver hearing was typical of what the Fish and Wildlife Service has encountered as it gathers public comments in anticipation of a 2014 ruling.
"Over 900,000 public comments have been submitted, and probably 90 percent of those are against delisting the wolf," said David Spady, a filmmaker and media consultant with Americans for Prosperity-California. "The support for the wolf is very adamant, especially within those groups, and it has taken on this iconic sort of mystical status with a lot of these environmental groups."
Drowned out in the din are the voices of rural Westerners who have struggled to live alongside the predators. They are the focus of Mr. Spady's 2013 documentary, "Wolves in Government Clothing."
Mr. Spady spoke in Denver as part of a screening tour for his film, funded by Americans for Prosperity, which he is bringing to every city on the Fish and Wildlife Service's public hearing schedule.
Tourism versus safety
The wolves have drawn tourists to Yellowstone National Park, but they've also brought economic challenges and public safety concerns to rural communities across the Northern Rockies, where the animals were flown in by helicopter from Canada and released in 1996 as part of the federal government's wolf-restoration program.
In the film, residents talk about losing livestock, horses and dogs to wolves, along with hunting revenue stemming from depleted elk and deer herds. Wolf attacks on humans are rare, but locals say they've been frightened by wolves approaching them on remote roads and appearing on front porches.

A Shoebox of Recipes
A couple of years ago, after a visit with grandma she sent me home with her shoe-box of recipes. While some might think this to be an unusual gift, I felt like I had been given the gift of a lifetime. It wasnt just a shoe-box of recipes it was a shoe-box of memories.
Some of the recipes were tattered and food-stained with smudged fingerprints on the edges where she had pulled the recipe out of the box. Perhaps she had started cooking from memory, but in the middle of the recipe, she realized that she couldnt quite remember all the ingredients?
Some were recipes she had clipped from various newspapers; they were now yellowed and brittle with age.
Some of the recipes were in her beautiful scrolling cursive handwriting that was indicative of the days when beautiful penmanship was the mark of an educated lady. Some more currently penned showed a shaky hand that marked the passing of her years, yet were unmistakably still her handwriting.
I pulled out the recipe for strawberry jam and was immediately taken back to the summer I spent with her and remembered how I helped her in the garden. We hoed and weeded the strawberry patch daily. At first there were only enough berries each day for us to have a bowl full covered with fresh cream. Then as the summer wore on the harvest became more bounteous. We picked strawberries and shared bowls full with the neighbors. Then at the moment when I had no idea what we would do with all those strawberries she determined the time was right to make jam.
We hauled out the jars and got them ready. I dont remember all the steps, but it took all day! And we were really tired, really, really tired when we were done. But grandma looked at the sun streaming through the windows, and the red shining through the bottles on the counter, and she got a happy, contented, smile on her face and remarked A job well-done!
I pulled out another recipe and remembered the summer I suggested that I type up all her recipe cards so they would all look the same and then we could get her a cute little recipe box for them to be filed in. I had seen one that had a rooster on the front and thought that would be just perfect for her kitchen. I had just learned to type and just knew that this would be such a good help for her! I am so glad she declined my offer, instead giving me a different, important task for the summer.
Im not sure how much comfort I would have gotten from a rooster box full of typed recipes. The memories are in her handwriting, and the food stains and in the old newspapers. And memories are so important so much more important than neatly typed recipe cards.
I like to use recipe protectorsClear Vinyl 4 x 6 Inch Recipe Card Covers, Set of 48 for those precious old recipe cards, and got an antique recipe box Mountain Woods Valencia Antique Style Recipe Box w/ Legs when the shoe-box fell apart. Available on Amazon.

The Netflix app on Wii U now supports the "@" symbol. A recent update added the piece of iconography, which once upon a time indicated cost per unit, but is commonly used now for emails and to avoid spelling "at" in texts.
The reason this little oversight mattered was due to folks using @ in their passwords. It's so much more secure to write p@55w0rd123 than password123.

Fund VI exceeded by $50 million Ethos' initial target as well as the firm's last fund, which closed in 2006.
The current fund has already begun to be invested. Last year it acquired a South African corporate clothing and promotions company called Kevro for 850 million rand ($95 million) and invested an undisclosed sum in a South African construction company, Waco International.
Ethos declined to identify individual limited partners for its newest fund, although a representative said via e-mail the geographic breakdown was fairly evenly split between Africa, Europe and North America, and Asia and the Middle East. Limited partners include sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and pension funds, the company said.
Ethos, which was formed in 1984, is among the oldest private equity firms in Africa. Like most private equity on the continent, Ethos continues to be centered in South Africa, Africa's most developed economy and a market long accustomed to buyouts. However, some global private equity powerhouses are beginning to look at Africa more seriously and, in the process, are taking a more regional approach.
Carlyle Group, for example, in November invested in a Tanzanian commodities company called Export Trading Group, the first investment in a targeted $500 million sub-Saharan African fund.

This was such an amazing story! I always wondered about something like that happening. I mean surely the odd human finding out about vampires would pass the volturi's inspection, and one is all it takes. It really is an interesting take on Edward's change. And going through that kind of torture for that long would certainly leave horrible scars on someone for the rest of their life. I really hope he would recover sometime in the distant future. He deserves that and more.
Keep up the amazing work! :)

I loved this story! And thank you for extracting bella from Forks. I think I went off in an earlier review about how much it bothered me that Bella is allowed to maintain her lifestyle post transformation. Your ending is much more in tune with how I believe breaking dawn should have ended. Also, no werewolves? Praise Jesus! One question, did bella ever find out that Edward did in essence change her? I thought it would be revealed when they looked through the thumb drive but it wasn't disclosed. Can't wait to see what else you have written.

Charlie Rose
Kurtz, Howard, Newsweek
Byline: Howard Kurtz
The TV host talks about asking lengthy questions, two decades on PBS, and whether he'll take over 'The Early Show' on CBS.
You just celebrated the 20th anniversary of your show. What's the secret to TV longevity?
Find smart people who can talk. There's a great appetite for smart television. Every day I get up and there are interesting stories I want to do.
You're on PBS. Why can't commercial TV tolerate long, unhurried conversations?
I don't think everything I do would fit on commercial television. I opened my show last night with Rem Koolhaas, a Dutch architect.
People sometimes make fun of the length of your questions.
I don't think that's true anymore.
Is that a conscious effort on your part?
Indeed. You listen. It was true.
CBS has approached you about possibly co-hosting The Early Show. Are you interested?
I'm having conversations with CBS because I'm a member of that family. I'm intrigued by the fact that they want to do it differently. They understand that their success will not lie in duplicating what's already on morning television. …

Drew Barrymore Expecting Second Child
The actress is already a mother to a 13-month-old daughter with husband Will Kopelman.
Drew Barrymore is ready to be a mother -- again.
The actress is expecting her second child with her art-consultant husband Will Kopelman, her rep confirmed to E! News after a photo surfaced of Barrymore sporting a baby bump.
PHOTOS: Craziest Celebrity Baby Names
Barrymore also attended the third annual LACMA Art + Film Gala on Saturday night wearing a loose-fitting caftan by Vivienne Westwood.
The couple welcomed daughter Olive just over a year ago, on Sept. 26, 2012. It's unclear when Barrymore is due.
The actress, 38, married Kopelman in June 2012 at her Montecito estate, which she sold last month for $6.35 million.
In an appearance on The Tonight Show in September, Barrymore told host Jay Leno she was ready for a second child.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Most Memorable Newborn Announcements
"I grew up as an only child, and although that really works for some people and for some parents that's the way they want to do it.… I want to be the Griswolds," she said, referring to the National Lampoon's Vacation films. "I want the kids in the back rolling their eyes at Mom and Dad. I want Rusty and Audrey, theme parks and the whole nine."
Barrymore, who recently created the Flower Cosmetics line, last appeared on the big screen in 2012's Big Miracle and has a recurring voice role on Fox's Family Guy. She reunites with her Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates co-star Adam Sandler in next year's The Familymoon.

Top Teachers: Annette Hodges
Donahoe E.S., fifth grade
As a student teacher in inner-city Philadelphia, one of Annette Hodges' first assignments was to work with a Spanish-speaking youngster named Oscar.
"They sent him to me and said, 'If you can just teach him a couple words of English, great.' And I thought, Why only a couple?"
So for the next five months, Hodges worked with Oscar and two other students diligently – setting the same high expectations for them that she had experienced herself in private school as a child. By the end of the school year, Oscar was reading, spelling words correctly and earning A's on tests.
"He wanted it because he was excited that someone believed he could do it," she recalled.
That philosophy has guided Hodges through her 21 years as a teacher, including the past three at Donahoe Elementary in Sandston, where this year she is teaching a boys-only class of 17 fifth-graders.
The gender-specific class was Hodges' idea – something she said grew from her examination of single-sex private academies in which students seemed to excel.
"I thought, Why is is that that's not something that is offered in the public school setting?" she said. "I wanted to encourage [students] and give them expectations."
Hodges is drilling into her students' minds that they will become 'men of honor' by the end of the school year.
Every Monday, the boys "dress for success" by wearing khakis or blue jeans and a light blue Izod shirt that Hodges purchased each of them in September. The point? To teach them what success looks like and help them internalize it.
"Many of them did not know what success was," Hodges said, recalling a recent exercise in which one student said his mother was successful because she went to work every day, even though she hated her job. "They have to see it before they can truly believe it because they know what they're looking at. It's about breaking habits that they've seen or thought were okay and rebuilding things for them."
Her approach is working.
"Through tears, attitude, and smiles of the boys, the joy of accomplishment is the prize," one nominator wrote. "Ms. Hodges has a heart of a lion and patience of an angel. The spirit and success of the boys are the amazing result."
Though her students have scored well in reading and math tests, she is motivating them to achieve 100 percent passage rates in both.
"I just don't want them just simply to pass to say they passed," she said. "I want them to leave being able to transfer the knowledge to the following year. I want them to truly be true learners."
"I go to bed a great deal at night with a heavy heart because I'm thinking, 'How can I reach this one, how can I get that one to understand?' You don't have time to spend time celebrating successes."

'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' Trailer 2
4:00 AM PDT 10/1/2013 by THR Staff
The latest installment in Peter Jackson's trilogy focuses on the dwarves of Erebor's attempt to reclaim the Lonely Mountain. The new trailer focuses less on Smaug himself, the deadly dragon played in motion capture by Benedict Cumberbatch, but does begin with Martin Freeman's Bilbo saying "Truly, details and songs fall short of your enormity, O Smaug, the stupendous."

You are at a higher risk because it's in your family. If your doc knows your family history, she may test you early. If you want to get info, there's a great board here all about GD: community.babycenter.com/groups/a67...
I was at high-risk (no family history, but I had other factors) so they tested me early, at 12 weeks. It came back positive, so now I'm dealing with GD.

(Aug. 19, 2010)--For 13 years, the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) has supported the San Antonio Prefreshman Engineering Program (PREP), a rigorous seven-week summer camp that teaches middle and high school students abstract reasoning and problem-solving skills to introduce them to careers in engineering. The program reaches nearly 4,000 Texas students each year.
Last year, SAWS gave $60,000 to sponsor PREP's ongoing programming for middle and high school students and an additional $35,000 to sponsor University PREP (UPREP) students majoring in engineering. At the PREP July 30 closing ceremony, Mayor Julian Castro and SAWS leaders pledged $100,000 to continue their support of PREP.
Engineer Marisa Martinez, manager of the SAWS treatment and recycle engineering department, learned about PREP when she was in the sixth grade from a teacher at Tafolla Middle School. Including Martinez, SAWS employs eight PREP alumni.
"That was when I discovered the field of engineering and, even more importantly, I discovered and experienced what it was like to step onto a college campus," said Martinez. "PREP was a life-changing experience for me. Engineering and college became a mission for me."
The only one of her siblings to graduate from college, Martinez ranked first in her graduating class at Sidney Lanier High School and went on to attend Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
"When students leave San Antonio to go to college, there is a small chance they will return home to work like I ultimately did," said Martinez. "If there's a way to support those students through internships or job opportunities so they stay in San Antonio, everybody wins. PREP and SAWS are developing that bridge."
"SAWS is proud to support the PREP program and encourage students to pursue science and engineering careers that will contribute to our community," said Robert R. Puente, SAWS president and CEO. "We can also attest to the success of PREP graduates, as several former students now work for SAWS, providing a wide variety of services for San Antonio."
"We are thrilled to be working with SAWS to train the next generation of successful engineers," said Rudy Reyna, PREP executive director. "It is only through the support of SAWS and sponsors like SAWS that we have been able to sustain and grow PREP to the size and scope it is today. SAWS is committed to the education of our youth and to giving back to our community."
San Antonio Water System
Since 1992, San Antonio Water System has provided leadership in managing and developing water resources in the San Antonio region. Water and wastewater services are provided to more than 1 million customers.
Prefreshman Engineering Program
In 1979, UTSA launched PREP with 44 students. This summer, 1,375 PREP students in San Antonio, 2,600 PREP students across Texas and 500 students in other states participated in the program. PREP is presented over four summers to students entering grades seven to eleven. In the first year, participants study engineering principles and logic applications to mathematics. In the second year, students learn about algebraic structures and introductory physics. In year three, students are introduced to probability and statistics and technical writing. In the fourth year, they learn about system dynamics, water science and computer science. University PREP also is available after year three, where students take college classes in mathematics, engineering and science for college credit.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

Many Canadian bistros differentiate themselves from their European counterparts by serving region-specific dishes and replacing waiters with Alanis Morissette. Enjoy artisan cuisine sans irony with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $30 for $60 worth of dinner cuisine
- $59 for $120 worth of dinner cuisine for four or more
The menu features dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, delighting diners with entrees such as chicken galantine with squash risotto ($27) and pan-seared northern coho salmon ($29). Appetizers include red-deer tartare ($17) and albacore-tuna crudo ($17).
On a nondescript St. Lawrence Market District street corner, one of the area's top fine dining establishments hides inside a historic brick building. Lucien's almost industrial-looking facade is a stark juxtaposition to an interior where chandeliers and velvety red curtains contribute to a refined yet welcoming space. Customers dine flanked by an elegant marble-topped bar and a sectioned wall behind which the kitchen staff can be spied conjuring up the restaurant's acclaimed dishes, all made form locally sourced ingredients.
Experienced restaurateur Simon Bower crafted the eatery's attitude and decor while chef Etienne Lemieux created the menu, which stars such gems such as grilled bincho octopus and red deer bresola. Lucien's genial milieu exudes the elegance of fine dining in an unstuffy, cozy setting. The establishment has won numerous awards for its overall quality, being praised as "the city's best new restaurant" by Toronto Life magazine and placed among enRoute magazine's top 10 restaurants in Canada. Meals can be capped off with an artisanal cheese plate ($17) or sake cherries jubilee ($12).

"if not equally guilty" / "complicit" is too soft! They ARE equally guilty.
Ripping off anything (intellectual property or a car stereo) and buying anything that WAS ripped off (like intellectual property or a car stereo) are morally equivalent. Period.
But I agree: closing off one will close off the other (and closing off either one will do the job).
I completely disagree with those who think that it is wrong to go after the final buyer. It is exactly that buyer who makes the whole chain (illegal producer, all his distributors, and all the points of sale) profitable. Without the buyer, there IS NO PROBLEM.
So where do we stand on personally made copies of Revs (or 4 line 'W' shaped 'Rev' like kites if you prefer) these days?

Central Location
Very good location, close to everything. If your windows are facing Liffey river, you'll get fantastic view but not much sleep on weekends. Free Irish dancing and songs in hotel bar.
Although hotel advertises free WIFI it didn't work in our
room. It worked just fine in the lobby.
Temple bar is just across the river.
Outstanding with a few drawbacks
Only a few steps across the river from Grafton Street, Trinity College, and the Library. Unbeatable for the price. Staff were not just helpful, they were eager to help. Nightly free entertainment was good to very good with a talented trio playing
Irish and 50-60s period folk and rock tunes one night and Irish dancers and snother band the next. On the questionable side, our room opened onto an alley. With our window open all night for necessary air circulation, aside from the normal city noise, occassionally loud and drunken street people ambled by. The north side of the river is taking a bad economical hit and while we never felt unsafe, we would advise confining walking time in the evening on the south side.
We would book again for the location, staff and entertainment. This was a great find.
Nice place, Great location.
Right in the middle of a bustling tourist area in Dublin.
The Arlington has a great show aimed squarely at tourists, it's clean, efficient and has great service.
It's not the Ritz... but a good mid-priced hotel.
Amazing location for the price
We arrived at the Hotel a little tired and concerned that our room was not going to ready, because our check in time was 1400 and we arrived at about 1215, but the staff warmly welcomed us. They seemed to care about us and the distance we traveled
to get to them. They asked questioned about our trip and weather we were hungry. They made reccomendations of places to eat, both inside the Hotel and outside. The check in process was effortless, and the room was ready. The room was clean comfortable and spacious.
The live entertainment at the Arlington was unsurpass and you must do The Bus Tour around Dublin with live commentary. When shopping please ask for the Tax Free statements
Great location, average hotel
Stayed at the Arlington Hotel while vacationing in Dublin. After brief confusion over our reserved room (we swapped rooms 3 times before getting our standard two beds in on room)we had a pleasant stay. The front desk staff were always courteous
and helpful.
We enjoyed the Irish dancing show in the lounge area, would definitally recommend this. The food was OK. Wouldn't bother buying the continental breakfast. You get cereal, yogurt, toast and some old looking fruit. There are many coffee and bagel shops around that have better options.
The location is wonderful. You're a block from O'Connell Street (you can catch a shuttle to the airport here)and within a 10-15 minute walk to Trinity College, Dublin Castle, the temple bar area and Christchurch Cathedral.
The music from the bar can be very loud. The music stops at 11pm on weekdays except for Friday, don't plan on going to bed early...
Overall, very nice stay. Hospitable staff, clean rooms and lots of hot water.
good location
Worst part of hotel was an out of order phone that they did not repair. Half way into stay they offered to move us to a different room. No radio as advertised on their web site. Hotel was in central location and in close proximity to many
attractions. Evening entertainment was good at hotel.
Fantastic location in Dublin
We had a wonderful time during our six day stay at the Arlington Hotel. The hotel's perfect location, the friendly staff and the awesome entertainment in their bar are positives that far outweigh the one disadvantage of noise due to the nightly
entertainment in the bar. I would suggest requesting a room as far away from the bar as possible and/or taking a white noise maker to mask the music. We had the latter and it worked just fine. I highly recommend the Arlington if you visit Dublin. It's a great bargain.
make reservations as early as possible for the Irish dancers and dinner show. Ask for the closest table to the stage.
Would not recommend
ok for short stay, with some drawbacks
this hotel is not bad for a budget hotel. it's pretty clean and in a GREAT location, particularly if you want to take the AirLink or AirCoach to & from the airport.
it's right on the Liffey River & O'Connell Street, and all the sites in central
Dublin are walkable from here.
some of the staff was friendly, some a little cold. typical i suppose.
the double bed was actually 2 twins pushed together. fine, but not ideal.
as an american, i find myself a little spoiled when it comes to plumbing, so the fact that the sink had 2 faucets -- one scalding hot, and one freezing cold -- neither quite comfortable to use for washing your face, etc. -- a little irritating.
do NOT stay here if you intend to have visitors. i spent an evening walking around Dublin with my friend who lives there, and he wanted to use the toilet before taking the tram back to the suburbs where he lives -- and they wouldn't let him in!! this was only at about midnight. and this is not a dangerous area. i found that quite silly & irritating.
and another thing about the free WIFI -- to be completely blunt, they filter out sites they consider to be "pornographic". i find it strange that a hotel dictates for its patrons what is and isn't appropriate material to browse in a private hotel room whilst traveling.
all in all -- for a quick cheap stay, it's clean and safe and convenient, but feels a little like staying at a controlling nun's place or your conservative grandmother's house.
great location
room was very small and tv didn't work. Good lively entertainment in the bar. Overall my stay was enjoyable and would stay there again
