The present invention relates to a handled thermoplastic bag structure and a method for forming the same.
In recent years plastic bags and sacks have appeared in increasing numbers in competition with paper bags and sacks. The many advantages plastic film sacks have over paper sacks will ultimately be responsible for the same dominating the field of bags and sacks. Features such as high tear strength, waterproof characteristics, strong integral handles, puncture resistance, high film density, cost competitiveness, etc. will make thermoplastic sacks the article of choice, particularly, in the field of grocery sacks.
The structure of thermoplastic grocery sacks has in recent years evolved to that of a structure made from: collapsing a tube of plastic so as to have two in-folded pleats or gussets at opposite sides thereof; forming two spaced seals positioned trasverse of the collapsed tube; and removing from one end thereof of a U-shaped segment which simultaneously forms two integral handles and a bag mouth opening. By this configuration and by virtue of the in-folded pleats or gussets the handles have double film thicknesses which give greater carrying strength in the handles. A forerunner of this bag has been referred to as a "undershirt" type bag, since the upper portion of the bag and handles resembles an undershirt.
Bags of these structures had a tendency to split or tear in the bag mouth opening as handles were stretched during the bag loading process. This problem was successfully solved by including stress relief structures in the bag mouth opening in the region near the base of the handles; see U.S. Pat. No. 4,165,832, the disclosure of which is, in its entirety, incorporated herein by reference.
With the increasing use of such thermoplastic handled sacks in conjunction with the down-gauging trend regarding the thickness of the thermoplastic film employed therein, a problem has developed which threatens to undermine the consumer's confidence in such thermoplastic sacks. At the bottom of the above-described sacks, a heat seal stripe forms a welded closure for the bag structure. In the region of the in-folded pleat or gusset, four layers of film are brought together in the outer regions of the lay-flat bag structure and, in-between, two layers of the front and back panels of the sack are brought together. Thus, the heat seal must simultaneously weld four layers together in the outer segments of the sack and two layers together at the central region of the sack. It has been found that bags have been failing by tearing open in the region of the four and/or two film heat seal portion of the bottom of the sack beginning at the seal transition from the four layers to the two layers.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome this problem.
The present invention is concerned with a plastic film sack having gusseted side walls and in the bottom of said sack, a heat-seal stripe welding together the four film layers in the gusseted regions of the sack and a heat seal stripe welding together the two film layers between said gusseted regions; and between the heat-seal stripes of the four film layers and the heat seal stripe of the two film layers are unsealed, arcuate stress-relief regions.
Stated otherwise, in a plastic film sack having gusseted side walls and a heat-sealed bottom stripe welding together four film layers in the outer region of the bag bottom and two film layers in the center region of the bag bottom, the improvement comprising: the provision of stress-relief structures in the bottom of said sack, said structures having the following characteristics:
(a) they at least correspond to the shape remaining in said sack from two cut-away regions located as spaced interruptions in, and extending above, the line of the heat-sealed bottom stripe;
(b) they are located so as to prevent the formation of, or eliminate preformed, heat-seal junctures at each gusset at its point of maximum in-folding and the bottom of the sack; and
(c) said shape is at least generally arcuate or forms part of a circle so as to constitute stress relief arcs or curves extending from a four film seal point to a two film seal point in said heat sealed bottom stripe.
In a more particular form of the present invention, the sack of thermoplastic film comprises: front and rear bag walls joined together by side walls, each side wall having a single integral pleat; an open mouth top portion having double film thickness handles which are integral extensions of said front, rear and side walls; at least one bottom heat-seal stripe welding together four film layers in both of the collapsed, lay-flat regions of said side walls and welding together the two bottom-central film layers of said front and rear walls; and between the heat-seal stripes of the four film layers and the two film layers are unsealed, arcuate stress relief regions.
The method of forming the above described sacks comprises collapsing a tube of thermoplastic film while simultaneously forming gussets in opposite sides thereof and prior to or subsequent to forming the heat-seal stripe or stripes for the bottom of the bag, removing the film area below a curve extending from a point at the bottom of the four film layers of said structure to a point at the bottom of the two film layers of said structure. If the film removal is accomplished prior to heat sealing the bottom of the bag then thereafter heat seals are formed in the four layer region and in the two layer region of the bottom of the bag.
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view representing a sack of the prior art.
FIG. 2 is an end view of a thermoplastic tube having oppositely disposed gussets in partially collapsed form.
FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of one form of the bag structure of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, 10 refers to a bag structure of the prior art. In forming this bag structure, a collapsed tubular thermoplastic film such as that depicted in FIG. 2 is employed. FIG. 2 shows an end view of such a tube having two oppositely disposed in-folded gussets represented by B and C. The front and the rear of the bag derive from film A and film D of the collapsed tubular structure. The dotted line 12 of FIG. 1, illustrates the extent to which the gusset or pleat extends in from the side region of bag 10. In its fully lay-flat condition the outer segments of the bag constitute four layers of film, for example, in the region 14. These four layers are shown in FIG. 2 as layers A, B, C and D. The same is true on the opposite side of the bag. The region 16 in FIG. 1 represents the central region of the sack made up of two films, i.e. film A and D of FIG. 2. The region 18 of FIG. 1 represents a heat seal which extends in a line or stripe across the bottom of the sack. At the opposite end of the sack, 22 represents the handles which are made of two separate film thicknesses by virtue of the gusset or pleat arrangement of the sack.
The two points 24 of FIG. 1 represent, an inherent weak spot in the heat-seal bond at the bottom of the bag. When the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 is completely collapsed, films A, B, C, and D, are essentially parallel. Thereafter, a sealing means heat unitizes the layers. The melt-unitized mass in the outer regions of the bottom of the bag is thicker than that in the center region of the bag. When the bag is put to use and product begins filling the bag, the gussets or pleats 12 begin to unfold in an attempt to form the side walls of the sack. This readily occurs unimpeded from the mouth of the sack and throughout most of the bag. However, the bottom of the gusset 12 is prevented from expanding because it has been heat sealed between films A and D. As filling and stretching of the bag continues, the resistance at points 24 can be exceeded. This is particularly true in bags made of high molecular weight, high density polyethylene of a film gauge thickness between about 0.3 to about 1.0 mils. A tear develops in the thickness region corresponding to films A and D, just adjacent to the transition region extending from the fused four layers to the fused two layers at the bottom of the bag. Once such a tear begins, a zippering effect can cause the bottom of the bag to open with loss or partial loss of the contents thereof.
Referring to FIG. 3, it has been found that if the strain or stress that becomes concentrated at region 24 of FIG. 1, can be relieved or transferred elsewhere, the normal fuse-bond strength of combined films A and D can withstand the forces of loads for which the bag structure has been designed. It has been found that, either by removal of the above-mentioned transition region or prevention of the formation of this transition region and the provision of a more or less arcuate stress relief structure in place thereof, the above-mentioned problem is successfully avoided. Thus, if a stress relief region, depicted at 26 in FIG. 3, is fashioned into the bottom of the bag, the problem is avoided. Numeral 26 generally refers to a half circular cut-out region extending between the four layer film arrangement at the left hand side of the bag, to the two layered film arrangement at the central bottom region of the bag. Similarly, from the right-hand region of the four layers of film, a stress relief structure extends to the two layer arrangement at the central bottom region of the bag. An extension of the gusset line 12 would appear to bisect the stress relief structure shown in FIG. 3. This arrangement is not critical and the stress relief structure can be somewhat to the left or right of this line. If this cutout region is accomplished prior to the sealing of the bottom of the bag, then thereafter, seals 18 and 20 must be put in the bottom of the bag. The layers of film in the arcuate region of the stress relief structure are not sealed. This permits a small portion of the gusset adjacent to the stress relief structure 26 to expand a short distance in the direction of arrows 28. This, in conjunction with a better distribution of forces throughout the bottom of the front and rear panels by virtue of the stress relief structure at least significantly alleviates the tearing and zippering problem.
The contemplated stress relief structures of the present invention appears to best function when they assume the shape of an arc or some part of a circle. In a bag having a bottom dimension of approximately 12 inches, a stress relief structure providing a seal-line gap of approximately 3/8 to 1 inch is contemplated and this gap can extend vertically in the direction of the bag mouth opening a distance of from 1/8 to 3/4 of an inch. Half circles ranging from the diameter of a ten cent piece to a five cent piece has been found to be satisfactory.
While the contemplated sacks can be made of any thermoplastic material, polyethylene and polyethylene blends are preferred. The term polyethylene is employed herein in its generic sense to include low density polyethylene (LDPE) having a density of from about 0.910-0.939, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), which actually is a copolymer of ethylene and another alpha olefin, having a density ranging from about 0.910-0.939, high molecular weight, high density polyethylene (HDPE) having a density ranging from about 0.940-0.970 and any blends thereof. A preferred material for handled grocery sacks is a blend of LLDPE and LDPE with the latter being present in from about 0-20% by weight. When employing this material, the film gauge can range downward to from 0.3 to 1 mil in thickness. Another preferred polyethylene resin is high density polyethylene (HDPE) alone or in combination with from 0 to 50 weight % of LLDPE. A preferred combination is a blend of the two which would yield a density of from 0.945-0.955 g/cc. When material of this density is employed unusually strong film having a guage thickness of from 0.3 to 1 mil can be employed in forming the grocery sacks contemplated by the present invention.

- Domain Decomposition: Linking Kinetic and Aerodynamic Descriptions (1993)
- We discuss how kinetic and aerodynamic descriptions of a gas can be matched at some prescribed boundary. The boundary (matching) conditions arise from requirement that the relevant moments (p,u,...) of the particle density function be continuous at the boundary, and from the requirement that the closure relation, by which the aerodynamic equations (holding on one side of the boundary) arise from the kinetic equation (holding on the other side), be satisfied at the boundary. We do a case study involving the Knudsen gas equation on one side and a system involving the Burgers equation on the other side in section 2, and a discussion for the coupling of the full Boltzmann equation with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in section 3.
- Fast Generation of Low-Discrepancy Sequences (1993)
- The paper presents a fast implementation of a constructive method to generate a special class of low-discrepancy sequences which are based on Van Neumann-Kakutani tranformations. Such sequences can be used in various simulation codes where it is necessary to generate a certain number of uniformly distributed random numbers on the unit interval.; From a theoretical point of view the uniformity of a sequence is measured in terms of the discrepancy which is a special distance between a finite set of points and the uniform distribution on the unit interval.; Numerical results are given on the cost efficiency of different generators on different hardware architectures as well as on the corresponding uniformity of the sequences. As an example for the efficient use of low-discrepancy sequences in a complex simulation code results are presented for the simulation of a hypersonic rarefied gas flow.
- 3D Eddy-Current Computation Using Krylov Subspace Methods (1993)
- This paper considers the numerical solution of a transmission boundary-value problem for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations with the help of a special finite volume discretization. Applying this technique to several three-dimensional test problems, we obtain large, sparse, complex linear systems, which are solved by using BiCG, CGS, BiCGSTAB resp., GMRES. We combine these methods with suitably chosen preconditioning matrices and compare the speed of convergence.
- Nonorthogonal Expansions on the Sphere (1993)
- Discrete families of functions with the property that every function in a certain space can be represented by its formal Fourier series expansion are developed on the sphere. A Fourier series type expansion is obviously true if the family is an orthonormal basis of a Hilbert space, but it also can hold in situations where the family is not orthogonal and is overcomplete. Furthermore, all functions in our approach are axisymmetric (depending only on the spherical distance) so that they can be used adequately in (rotation) invariant pseudodifferential equations on the frames (ii) Gauss- Weierstrass frames, and (iii) frames consisting of locally supported kernel functions. Abel-Poisson frames form families of harmonic functions and provide us with powerful approximation tools in potential theory. Gauss-Weierstrass frames are intimately related to the diffusion equation on the sphere and play an important role in multiscale descriptions of image processing on the sphere. The third class enables us to discuss spherical Fourier expansions by means of axisymmetric finite elements.
- Generalized Weighted Spline Approximation on the Sphere (1993)
- Spline functions that interpolate data given on the sphere are developed in a weighted Sobolev space setting. The flexibility of the weights makes possible the choice of the approximating function in a way which emphasizes attributes desirable for the particular application area. Examples show that certain choices of the weight sequences yield known methods. A pointwise convergence theorem containing explicit constants yields a useable error bound.
- A discrepancy principle for Tikhonov regularization with approximately specified data (1999)
- Many discrepancy principles are known for choosing the parameter \(\alpha\) in the regularized operator equation \((T^*T+ \alpha I)x_\alpha^\delta = T^*y^\delta\), \(||y-y^d||\leq \delta\), in order to approximate the minimal norm least-squares solution of the operator equation \(Tx=y\). In this paper we consider a class of discrepancy principles for choosing the regularization parameter when \(T^*T\) and \(T^*y^\delta\) are approximated by \(A_n\) and \(z_n^\delta\) respectively with \(A_n\) not necessarily self - adjoint. Thisprocedure generalizes the work of Engl and Neubauer (1985),and particular cases of the results are applicable to the regularized projection method as well as to a degenerate kernel method considered by Groetsch (1990).
- Jeffreys' prior is the Hausdorff measure for the Hellinger and Kullback-Leibler distances (1998)
- On a family F of probability measures on a measure space we consider the Hellinger and Kullback-Leibler distances. We show that under suitable regulari ty conditions Jeffreys' prior is proportional to the k-dimensional Hausdorff measure w.r.t. Hellinger dis tance respectively to the k2 -dimensional Hausdorff measure w.r.t. Kullback-Leibler distance. The proof i s based on an area-formula for the Hausdorff measure w.r.t. to generalized distances.
- A set with finite curvature and projections of zero length (1999)
- A compact subset E of the complex plane is called removable if all bounded analytic functions on its complement are constant or, equivalently, i f its analytic capacity vanishes. The problem of finding a geometric characterization of the removable sets is more than a hundred years old and still not comp letely solved.
- An Algorithm for Computing the Shannon-Capacity ofArbitrary Channels (1993)
- Questions arising from Statistical Decision Theory, Bayes Methods and other probability theoretic fields lead to concepts of orthogonality of a family of probability measures. In this paper we therefore give a sketch of a generalized information theory which is very helpful in considering and answering those questions. In this adapted information theory Shannon's classical transition channels modelled by finite stochastic matrices are replaced by compact families of probability measures that are uniformly integrable. These channels are characterized by concepts such as information rate and capacity and by optimal priors and the optimal mixture distribution. For practical studies we introduce an algorithm to calculate the capacity of the whole probability family which is appli cable even for general output space. We then explain how the algorithm works and compare its numerical costs with those of the classical Arimoto-Blahut-algorithm.

CHICAGO --This time, the NHL got it wrong.
I agreed with the league's controversial no-punishment of Boston's Zdeno Chara when he nailed Montreal's Max Pacioretty into a stanchion. And I agreed when it assessed a three-game suspension to Tampa Bay's Pavel Kubina for the hit to Dave Bolland which has kept the Chicago Blackhawks center out of action since early March.
Vancouver Canucks winger Raffi Torres deserved more than a slap on the wrist for his head shot on Brent Seabrook behind the Hawks net in Game 3 of the teams' Western Conference quarterfinal series on Sunday night. The NHL decided on Monday there would be no further punishment for Torres after he received a two-minute penalty for interference.
"When Rule 48 (Illegal Check to the Head) was unanimously adopted by the General Managers in March 2010, there was no intention to make this type of shoulder hit to the head illegal," NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell said in a statement. "In fact, at that time, we distributed a video to all players and teams that showed a similar hit on a defenseman by an attacking forward coming from the opposite direction behind the net and stated that this is a 'legal play'.
"This hit meets none of the criteria that would subject Torres to supplemental discipline, including an application of Rule 48: he did not charge his opponent or leave his feet to deliver this check. He did not deliver an elbow or extended forearm and this hit was not 'late'."
So in other words, targeting the head of an opponent, as long as you follow the guidelines, is permissible under NHL rules. For a league that speaks seriously of reducing concussions this idea seems out of place.
Players can give good insight into these incidents since they're the ones delivering the blows and serving the punishments, but usually they back their teammates, as most did in both dressing rooms Sunday and Monday.
But Patrick Sharp has been the rare player who speaks without bias. He defended Kubina's hit on Bolland claiming, "He's not that type of player," and reiterating it was an accident several times. Reputation, more than anything else, plays into the thought process of other players. Torres doesn't have a good one, at least not recently.
"Hits like [Torres'], I'm usually the first guy to give the guy the benefit of the doubt but in this situation I just look at the player making the hit and his intent," Sharp said. "He played eight or nine minutes and I don't think he touched the puck. He took a run at Brian Campbell earlier. Tried to hit him with an elbow. His job out there is to create big hits. He got a penalty so obviously it wasn't a clean hit. I think it's pretty clear what his intentions were."
And we know the league takes this into account. Torres had just come off a four-game suspension for a similar hit and declared he wasn't going to change his ways. The fact that Seabrook was skating in one direction while looking for the puck in the other seems to be the mitigating circumstance. How is a player supposed to receive a pass if he needs to be watching for head hunters in front of him instead of where the puck is coming from?
Seabrook, one of the toughest individuals in the league, said it right on Monday, "Drill me in the chest." And that's where the NHL got it wrong.
Intended head shots should be illegal no matter the circumstances. The game might be too fast for a referee to make that decision, but that's what supplemental discipline is for.
The bottom line is if Torres' hit was technically legal then he was lucky, because there was nothing "legal" about his intent. The league got it wrong and needs to change the rule, and soon.

This paper presents an interaction control strategy for industrial robot manipulators which consists of the combination of a calibration-free, vision-based control method with an impedance-control approach. The vision-based, robot control method known as camera-space manipulation is used to generate a given, previously defined trajectory over an arbitrary surface. Then, a kinematic impedance controller is implemented in order to regulate the interaction forces generated by the contact between the robot end-effector and the work surface where the trajectory is traced. The paper presents experimental evidence on how the vision-force sensory fusion is applied to a path-tracking task, using a Fanuc M16-iB industrial robot equipped with a force/torque sensor at the wrist. In this task, several levels of interaction force between the robot end-effector and the surface were defined. As discussed in the paper, such a synergy between the control schemes is seen as a viable alternative for performing industrial maneuvers that require force modulation between the tool held by the robot and the working surface.

The Honorable Melvin L. Watt of Charlotte, NC sworn in on January 6th to a 5-year term as the first Senate-confirmed Director of FHFA.
Read more about Director Watt
Washington, D.C. – After considering input received in more than 1,300 comment letters in response to a proposed rule issued in 2014, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today released a final rule amending its regulation on Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) membership. The current regulation implements the provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act that govern eligibility for membership and establish requirements for an institution to become and remain a member of a FHLBank. As regulator of the FHLBanks, FHFA is responsible for implementing the statutory provisions governing membership and for ensuring that only institutions legally eligible to do so obtain the benefits of membership.
The final rule released today does not include two provisions from the 2014 proposed rule that would have required FHLBank members to maintain ongoing minimum levels of investment in specified residential mortgage assets as a condition of remaining eligible for membership. Based on research indicating that 98 percent of FHLBank members are currently in compliance with the proposed requirements and on concerns expressed in the comments received about implementation burdens, FHFA concluded that the benefit of forcing the remaining two percent of current members to comply with these proposals would be outweighed by the burden the proposal would impose. "The statutory requirements for members to continue their commitment to housing finance can be addressed by monitoring the levels of residential mortgage assets they hold and we, therefore, decided not to include the ongoing investment requirements in the final rule," said FHFA Director Melvin L. Watt.
The final rule does adopt the provision in the 2014 proposed rule that defines "insurance company" to exclude so-called "captive insurers." The final rule, therefore, will prevent non-eligible entities from gaining de facto FHLBank membership through a captive insurer. The primary business of a captive insurer is underwriting insurance for its parent company or for other affiliates, rather than for the public at large, and captives are generally easier and less expensive to charter, capitalize and operate. In defining "insurance company" to exclude captives, FHFA seeks to prevent entities that do not otherwise meet the statutory requirements from becoming FHLBank members by establishing and using captives as conduits to circumvent the membership eligibility requirements and gain access to low-cost FHLBank funding and other benefits of FHLBank membership. An increasing number of entities that are ineligible for FHLBank membership have been establishing captive subsidiaries as a means for their parent company to become a de facto FHLBank member, according to FHFA.
"FHFA has the authority and the duty to implement the statutory membership provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and by adopting the proposal to exclude captives from the definition of insurance company we are making sure that institutions can't frustrate the intent of Congress. Congress has amended the Federal Home Loan Bank Act in the past to allow additional entities to become members of a Federal Home Loan Bank and it can certainly do so again if it wants some of these entities to be eligible for membership," Director Watt said.
To minimize disruption of current members and the FHLBank System, the rule allows FHLBank captive insurer members that joined prior to FHFA's proposed rule up to five years to terminate their membership and those that joined after issuance of the proposed rule up to one year to terminate.
The final rule, which becomes effective 30 days from publication in the Federal Register, also requires FHLBanks to obtain and review audited financial statements for insurance company applicants when considering them for membership and clarifies the standards for determining the location of an institution's "principal place of business" for purposes of identifying the appropriate FHLBank district for membership.

After first-round games last week, the PSAL playoffs take a week off because of Winter Recess. The TimesLedger decided to take a closer look at second round boys games:
Feb. 25, 6 p.m.
College of Staten Island
There is perhaps no team in the PSAL with more confidence right now than the Bryant Owls, who defeated higher seeded Beach Channel, Cardozo and Bayside to win the Queens Borough Championship and then traveled to the Bronx to topple No. 13 John F. Kennedy in the first round.
But can they beat defending PSAL champion Grady, featuring the citys top scorer in Hofstra-bound Quincy Douby, who averages 35 points per game?
Its not impossible.
Douby played sparingly in the Falcons first-round win over Norman Thomas, suffering from a bruised right quadriceps. If Doubys shooting touch is off or if he gets into foul trouble, Grady (20-8) could struggle.
Meanwhile Bryant (25-4) needs 6-foot-7 Diego Aguiar (18.8 points, 9.8 rebounds per game) to dominate the paint and Brandon Williams (17.9 points, 6.1 rebounds), Fleans Dervishi (18.3 points) and Munir Noureddine (8.2 points) to play well on the perimeter and to help on the boards.
Feb. 26, 4 p.m.
Lehman College
Another intriguing matchup between two of the best teams in Brooklyn and Queens. Boys and Girls (20-6) has a solid starting five, including dominant post players Amadou Fall, a strong 6-foot-5 Division I prospect who averages 16.2 points and 12.8 rebounds per game, and Brian Franklin, described by another PSAL coach as a 6-foot-8 monster.
While the Kangaroos have the edge in the frontcourt, Bayside (24-2) has the backcourt advantage with C.J. Okogeri (21.5 points per game), lightning quick Lance Hazel (18 points, 101. rebounds) and Zanu Simpson (9.3 points per game) who should outplay Boys and Girls young backcourt, featuring one freshman and two sophomores.
Baysides 3-2 and 1-2-2 zones could limit Fall and Franklins touches down low, but the Commodores need to shoot the ball extremely well because of their size disadvantage. If they do, Joe Capuanas team has a shot.
Feb. 26, 4 p.m.
College of Staten Island
The boroughs top-seeded team, Cardozo, suffered a major scare in the first round, needing last-second heroics by junior Cameron Tyler to get past New Utrecht. Similar to the Utes, Brandeis (23-4) has a tremendous post presence in Decarlo Hoffler, who averaged 25.4 points and 16.3 rebounds per game. Juan Lopez (6-foot-5) is also a strong frontcourt player, averaging 11.6 points and 11.8 rebounds per game.
While Cardozo (20-7) should have the edge in the backcourt with Tyler (23.8 points per game), Vic Morris (14.6 points) and Dwayne Johnson (5.8 points), forwards Julian Thomas, a 6-foot-8 transfer from St. Johns Prep, Danny Philips (12.9 points, 8.7 rebounds), Rob Williams, who should draw the assignment of defending Hoffler and Skyler Khaleel, need to play well for the Judges to advance to the quarterfinals.
Were so hot and cold, said Cardozo head coach Ron Naclerio. Theyre all really young and unfortunately the inexperience and immaturity are coming out in crunch time.
Bayside 78, Port Richmond 63. Lance Hazel had 15 points, 15 rebounds and five steals and C.J. Okogeri added 25 points for the host Commodores (24-2) last Thursday.
Bryant 81, John F. Kennedy 61. Fresh off their borough championship win over Bayside, the Owls traveled to the Bronx to upend No. 13 JFK last Wednesday. Diego Aguiar had 34 points and 14 rebounds, Fleans Dervishi added 21 points and seven assists and Brandon Williams chipped in 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Owls.
Cardozo 60, New Utrecht 57. Cameron Tyler netted 22 points, including a three-point play with one second left, to lift the host Judges to a win over 26th-seeded New Utrecht last Thursday.
Canarsie 85, Forest Hills 68. Robert White netted 27 points to lead No. 5 Canarsie (23-4) last Wednesday.
Grand Street Campus 67, Newtown 64. No. 19 Grand Street Campus upset 14th-seeded Newtown in overtime last Thursday as Kwan McDowell netted 12 points and Anthony Clark added 10 points for the Wolves. Bobby Pandy had 13 points, 10 rebounds and three assists for Newtown.
Other first round scores: Banneker 68, Jamaica 55.

Great Appartment and Correta was a great host. Enjoyed it and will definitly come back :)
We spent a very good time in Brooklyn. The apt. is very clean and has a comfortable size. We found some welcome Drinks in the fridge and tea etc. is also available.
The neighbourhood is very friendly, safe with many restaurants, small shops and supermarkets.
The subway station (line A+C) is just a 5 minutes walk away and takes you to Manhatten in about 20 minutes. Bus station is directly in front of the door, too.
Thank you Coretta, we really enjoyed our stay.
It was so good by coretta.
Nice Appartement in a safe Street.
We come back
Coretta is a wonderful hos . The apt is amazing. Big and confortable. Very near to the metro station (20 minutes to manhatran) and a big supermarket. I really love my permanence there. If you wanna go to NYC i really reccomend Coretta s apt
Our stay at Correttas place was wonderful. We really appreciated the late check out
We expected a lot of our stay at Coretta at NY. But a lot went wrong.
When we arrived we had to wait for 1.5 hour in front of th appartment because she didn't answer her phone and she forgot our arrival time.
We found a cockroach in the bathtub.
Our toilet was clogged.
We couldn't store our luggage. She only wanted to meet us again to pick up the luggage at a certain hour, but we wouldn't take the risk anymore. So as far as the luggage storage is concerned: you don't have any cotrol of you luggage at all.
NY is a great city, this appartment and especially the service wasn't at all.
Nice appartment in Brooklyn. Restaurants, laundry and subway nearby.
Very nice apartment, excellent location as close to the metro and very helpful host. We can highly recommend this apartment
Coretta is very good hostess. He responded to our calls, advised us, helped us in everything we need. I greeted us with the fridge full of juices and soft drinks. It is very nice and it was a pleasure to meet.
Coretta es muy buena anfitriona. Respondió a nuestros llamados, nos asesoró, nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos. Nos recibío con la nevera llena de jugos y refrescos. Es muy agradable y fue un placer conocerla.
L 'apartment was large and clean and with all the indispensable one for a living.
Coretta is extremely available is very kind.
The metro is a 5 minute walk of the day is very busy in the evening but a bit dark in two girls with a bit of attention does not run risks.
People are kind to tourists.
From here you can easily reach any area of the city is great, the cost is the location.
Coretta Thanks for your hostility
L 'appartamento è grande e pulito e con tutto l'un dispensabile per un soggiorno .
Coretta è disponibilissima è molto gentile.
La metro è a 5 minuti a piedi di giorno è molto frequentata, di sera un po buia ma in due ragazze con un po di attenzione non si corrono pericoli.
La gente è gentile con i turisti.
Da qui si raggiunge facilmente qualunque zona della città è ottimo il costo è la posizione.
Grazie Coretta per la tua ostilità

Probability of the coin
A coin has two probabilities:
• Head,
• Tail.
The probability of head is x and probability of tail is . When the value of x is well-known, then the successive flips of the coin are independent to each other.
Suppose that Result1 and Result2 are the successive flips, then:
The value of the events and are independent to each other. In the second case when the value of x is unknown to each other, then the probability of the successive flips is reliant on the outcome obtained from the last flip. In this case, the flips are dependent.
This is because for the better estimation of the probability, the information of the last flip will be helpful.
By the help of the new estimation of x, the best probability of the head or tail can be calculated. When the probability of previous flips says that the value of head is high, then the predictions for upcoming flips can be calculated.

Violet & Daisy 2011 | Movie Watchlist
Violet & Daisy is a cool movie. It's strange and ambitious and affecting and extremely well-acted throughout a thoroughly esoteric script. Part coming-of-age drama, part grind-house thriller, part ridiculous postmodern fantasy, it can be easy to miss the subtle aspects of the film, given that the more obvious ones are so intentionally garish and absurd. For this reason, the movie is definitely what you would call "not for everyone," but who would expect anything different from the screenwriter of Precious?
The story concerns two teenage assassins, the titular Violet (Alexis Bledel) and Daisy (Saoirse Ronan), who divide their time between ruthlessly smoking whomever they've been assigned to take out, and giggling over new dresses and talking about boys. Of course, in order for this to make sense, you have to keep in mind that the tale takes place in a brutal, violent, modern-fairy-tale world that's both heartbreakingly earnest and cleverly self-aware. This isn't reality -- it's magical realism, if anything. The dialogue is stylized to make the girls sound like characters from an old-fashioned comic book or pulp novel, and they're only able to be so exactingly hardened because they're too young and innocent to truly understand what they're doing. They're street tough in the style of Huck Finn.
One day, when they're supposed to be starting their vacation, they discover that their favorite pop star is releasing a new fashion line. Unable to afford the clothes on the meager wages that presumably explain why their boss employs kids, the girls agree to take on a last-minute job to earn the money. But when they show up at the home of their target -- a surprisingly genial man named Michael (James Gandolfini) -- he perplexes them by seeming quite unlike the usual thugs they're sent to slaughter. And even more shocking, he's not opposed to letting them complete their mission.
Of course, killing Michael is easier said than done, due to run-ins with competing gangs of hitmen, a few unplanned bloodbaths, and a lot more time than you might anticipate spent in the quiet confines of Michael's apartment as the three leads talk about the expected topics: truth and obfuscation, time and experience, fathers and daughters. It can seem a little trite on the surface, but keep in mind the soundtrack, the expertly exaggerated dialogue, and the intimate nature of the whole narrative, and it just might occur to you that some of what you're seeing is meant to be presented through the grandiose, unself-aware, hyper-urgent lens of teenage life. Again, all of that artful layering might not be for everybody, but for those whom it is, it's definitely worth seeing.

Vikings C Sullivan probable against Saints
Published: Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 4:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 4:37 p.m.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan is listed as probable for the season opener in New Orleans on Thursday night, even though he has missed virtually all of preseason with a calf injury.
Sullivan was injured early in training camp and did not play in any of the four preseason games. He practiced on a limited basis this week and the Vikings said Wednesday that he was probable to play against the Saints.
That's a big break for Brett Favre and Minnesota. The Vikings tried second-year man Jon Cooper and veteran guard Anthony Herrera at center in Sullivan's absence to mediocre results.
Cornerback Cedric Griffin and rookie running back Toby Gerhart are questionable with knee injuries. Griffin says he feels ready to go after tearing an ACL in the NFC title game in January.

My friend asked me for the movie, i was not ready to go but he forced
me, then i thanked him for his offer. The Movie has a cool Love story.
I love romantic movies, but to get the feeling one has to deep to get
the inner feeling. Some scenes were such that i can't stop tears from
rolling down. It has a wonderful plot, the love story of two
generations. Acting was OK. Direction Imtiaz Ali U are cool, all the
best for your future projects. Music is good. The lyrics were really
touching, it got buried deep inside my heart. The movie is a must watch
for ROMANTIC Couple. See the movie you will really change your mind if
you are new generation lovers.
In My Opinion Love Aaj Kal is one of the best Love Stories I have seen so far.
And Please Watch the movie in theaters or buy original DVDs, do not rent it please. Stop Piracy.
Hi, This is the third movie from Imtiaz Ali's Direction. I didn't like
this movie as his earlier movies. Still i am giving this movie 7 out of
10 because of very good performances of Saif, Deepika, Harleen & other
characters but for direction i will give him 10 out of 10.
As earlier Imtiaz's movies have lot of comic & funny moments this has very little comic scenes & a lot is focused on Romance. So if you like romantic movies, don't wait & go for it.
There is nothing much about the story as it is simple love story a boy & girl in love but didn't realize it. But the most important thing is the combination of two similar stories of different times at very best.
At the end it is a good movie will beautiful performances....
Unlike the complex games people play nowadays, as Jai Vardhan Singh
(Saif Ali Khan) and Meera Pandit (Deepika Padukone) engages in. The
first few minutes of the film might be a little strange and frustrating
even, where it plays out like an advertisement for modern love moving
at a breakneck pace of a whirlwind romance. Jai and Meera meet, fall
madly in love, spend incredible moments together, only to allow reasons
of practicality spoil everything. Since their careers are going to put
them thousands of miles apart Meera heading towards Delhi and Jai
dreaming of eventually relocating to San Francisco, having no trust in
long distance relationship means the logical decision to break up and
remain friends.
In the other story, Veer Singh (Saif Ali Khan again) meets and falls in love with Harleen Kaur (newcomer Gisele), but being the old-fashioned Romeo and with a process in place to woo the woman of your dreams, he finds it extremely difficult to break the ice, and only to learn that his task has been made doubly complex with the dimension of distance getting in the way as Harleen's family uproots to Kolkata. Swearing a pledge that he will marry her, and for all lifetimes, he journeys to the other side of India, happy to just catch a glimpse of his lady love. And so begins a very tough courtship of stolen glances and secret rendezvous against stacked up odds of opposition.
As a romance, this film has plenty put on its plate. A good looking and charismatic cast, beautiful landscapes and visuals thanks to the jetsetting nature of the story from London to Delhi to Kolkata to San Francisco, and a number of fantastic lines of dialogue sprinkled with a reasonable dose of comedy, and touching moments too. What's there not to like and make you fall in love with the characters, and wring your hand at their predicament, most of which were self-inflicted? Its two stories tell the stark difference between the modern rules of courtship based on practicality, versus that of the more traditional way, though the common thread will always, and has been to follow your heart. The thrill of the chase for instant gratification looks flimsy when set against the old fashioned notion of earning and justifying one's sincerity through action, rather than cheap talk which Saif Ali Khan's Jai is expert at.
The song and dance numbers are OK, though personally nothing was memorable enough to have stuck in my head way after the end credits start rolling. There were fun numbers of course where both leads in their modern roles seem to relish in, highlighting their personal, playful nature as they paint the town red in their secret rendezvous without the knowledge of their newfound partners. I thought there would be enough moments for each to showcase the pain of their ill-informed decisions of breaking up, but all we got was from the guy's point of view, and that was very much after the fact, which I felt time would probably start to heal all wounds, unless of course you let little personal details of milestones in your ex's life to come in and disrupt your current lifestyle.
Though of course in this story's love found, love lost and love gained, there were set pieces which tests the characters resolve, especially the one where their crazy game of double dating on the sly with their new partners, Jai's Jo (Florence Brudenell-Bruce) and Meera's Vikram (Rahul Khanna), rang through some intense pain and uncomfortable jealousy, providing a cliffhanger for the perennial interval.
If there's one thing I dislike and one of the themes as expounded in the film, it's the lack of honesty in the games people play. The romances of old are seemingly simple enough, without facades put up and masks worn to hide true intentions. Contrasted with today's of course, where both Jai and Meera find it too cool to be acknowledging their feelings properly for each other, and go on a round-about journey before they start to realize their true emotions, and face up to them sincerely. Needless to say, between the two stories, I had preferred the older one which is more engaging, honest and wistful even.
I felt that this was a classic showpiece for Saif Ali Khan. His more modern role of Jai has plenty of what makes a suave man tick, though with the tendency of lapsing into moments of Attention Deficit Disorder, rambling off in motor mouth fashion in expressing his innermost thoughts, which in a way helped him rationalize the deeply kept emotions in his heart. But the fun factor was of course having him personify the stoic nature of Veer Singh in the 60s, lovelorn and desperate even to battle against all odds to win over his lady love.
I'm happy for Deepika to have finally moved away from having to play two roles in every film (save for Bachna Ae Haseeno). Contrary to many synopsis out there, she doesn't play the romantic interest opposite Saif Ali Khan's other role, although of course it would probably make it a tad more interesting, though negating Veer Singh's pledge in a certain way. That would also mean a more conventional reincarnation type story that Imtiaz Ali steered clear of with his treatment here. However, I thought in some ways Gisele as the younger Harleen Kaur had upstaged Deepika's screen presence with her quiet and demure stature, though of course Deepika's asset of having that wonderful "stop-all-traffic" smile got exploited by the director through and through to maximum effect in melting even the most stone cold of all hearts.
All in all, Love Aaj Kal didn't manage to hit the heights that its star billing had the potential to, but still came across as a better than average romantic movie that's suitable for a date.
Imtiaz Ali has made 3 films now - Socha Na Tha, Jab We Met and Love Aaj
Kal - he seems to be getting better and better with each film.He seems
to be becoming a better director as well as writer with each film.
It is very rare to find Hindi films where people talk like people - with conversations having logical conclusions and transitions. This whole film is built on people having conversations and learning about each other and figuring themselves out through these conversations. I remember Siskel & Ebert lamenting on their show that in the movies, people mention that they have professions and yet never seem to be working at their so called job - but in this film, they do. The script - oh the script! Very smart, no dumbing down, no manipulative melodrama. I recently saw (500) Days of Summer and thematically and in tone these two are similar.
Also technically, Ali seems to have grown tremendously as a director - he is very good here in terms of shooting on location without getting unnecessarily enamoured or indulgent.
This movie has three performances really - Saif, Deepika and Rishi Kapoor. All have done tremendous justice to their characters; they are also very fortunate that the script provided them with 3-dimensional characters. A special mention for the young Brazilian lady who plays Harleen Kaur in the movie - she is so breathtakingly beautiful and very convincingly Indian.
The only blemish for me was Pritam's music and the song placement of that twist song. Pritam was so brilliant in Jab We Met that he actually accentuated the viewing pleasure of that film - but here, his music - though not bad - seems to distract from it.
As good as this film is, something tells me that Imtiaz Ali is just getting started and that he is a lot more gutsy and genuinely hatke than we have seen so far. And that is a wonderfully scary thought.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I watched the movie today on DVD. Good movie I would say, different
treatment to a love story.
As a romance, this film has plenty put on its plate. Logical conversation shown between two guys is a good concept.
Its two stories tell the stark difference between the modern rules of courtship based on practicality, versus that of the more traditional way, though the common thread will always, and has been to follow your heart.
Amongst actors Saif Ali Khan does a good job as Jai though he looked too old for it, as Veer he does a great job Deepika Padukone does her role well, though it doesn't demand much from her Rishi Kapoor is outstanding as usual.
In My Opinion Love Aaj Kal is one of the good Love Stories I have seen so far !
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
After the success of Jab We Met, Imtiaz Ali came back with Love Aaj Kal
The film also marked Saif's foray into production. The best part of the
film is that it has a unique plot which may seem paperthin initially
but slowly we realise it's lot more. The film tries to draw parallels
between present love story and past and succeeds to some extent. The
relationship between Saif and Deepika is well handled, at the start
itself we are shown that they are parting away and what follows is a
break up party something seldom shown in Indian films. Slowly we are
introduced to Rishi Kapoor's past life where again Saif plays his
younger version and the film keeps going back and forth and yet makes
an appeal. There are some flaws too like Deepika suddenly divorcing
Rahul Khanna after 1 day of marriage looks a bit hard to digest, Also
the last few reels seem like a melodrama which is in stark contrast to
the otherwise tone of the film though the end again is well handled.
Direction by Imtiaz Ali is superb Music by Pritam was a big hit, Twist, Chor Bazari were popular, Aaj Din Chaddeya by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was superb, while the rest songs too are good especially Mohit Chauhan's Dooriyan
Amongst actors Saif Ali Khan does a good job as Jai though he looked too old for it, as Veer he does a great job Deepika Padukone does her role well, though it doesn't demand much from her Rishi Kapoor is outstanding as usual, while Gisseli Monteiro as Harleen is a good new find. Rahul Khanna has an ill defined role but he does well Raj Jhutsi is good while Neetu Singh shows a nice cameo
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Haven't we've had enough of all the "guy meets girl, separate (enter
the song "Dooriyan"), realize they've made a mistake when it's too
late" bull-crap movies? Unfortunately, NO! And sadly enough, I don't
even see it happening anytime soon, especially after looking at the
box-office opening of Love Aaj Kal. To put it simple for you, picture a
movie with Hum Tum & Jab We Met sorts humor, and cheesy dialogs of any
corny Hindi movie, with usual London in the background and some "peppy"
soundtracks and of course, a "Mr. Cupid" (Rishi Kapoor in this case,
same as Hum Tum but not as Saif's father this time), you have Love Aaj
Kal. By the way, by "Cupid" I mean the guy who puts all the sanity in
the actor to go after his "love" and also, he's been through the same
and blah. Movie has some witty jokes thrown at the right moments but
that's about it. No. of times I saw my watch: 5 (In a 2 hrs movie,
that's a lot, it felt never ending).
Saif Ali Khan (Jai Vardhan Singh) has sort of replayed the character of Karan Kapoor (Hum Tum). As for Deepika Padukone (Meera Pandit), to put it subtly, she doesn't know how to act. She looks great on the big screen and knows how to dance, but story ends there. The girl has potential but it can only be tapped if she joins an acting school.
By the title Love Aaj Kal, they simply mean how love stories used to be in the past and how they are now. Anyway, if you don't have anything better to do (like today, I didn't) go for this one, better yet wait for the DVD.
We are now living into a materialistic world where even the
relationships are now built on calculation...but does that mean that
the essence of true feelings have gone obsolete? Finding answer of such
trivial question would take you a long time unless you want to see a 2+
hours movie called "Love Aaj kal". I am sure now the bells would not
ring but definitely in time to come people would realize that the
message delivered by the movie is much deeper than what it feels from
the first look.
This movie is a journey of love from past to present, to convey the message that something doesn't change with the time and at the end one has to follow his/her heart because that's what is the real pursuit of happiness.
The story of movie revolves around two protagonists, one from the present and one from past. Only with the glitch of time -frame change, both the stories follows the same path and ultimately ends at the very point where essentially a true love story should end, A happy ending. The only difference in both the stories is the way realization happen, in the one of past the realization is much of obvious where as in the present it's quite melodramatic yet very close to a real life incident which you could see around.
Yet after being such serene,pure and refreshing what this movie lacks is the attachment with the characters, you would not be able to connect to the characters as you should, may be the soul of it is missing due to lack of chemistry between the lead actors Saif and Deepika.
I wouldn't say they didn't perform well but still I was kind of disconnect to them though I felt more connected to story of past..may be because I still have my faith on age old love sagas :-). I guess the chemistry between Saif-Deepika didn't work as well as it was expected.
Performance wise, I guess Deepika was standout of the entire cast, she played her role of straight headed career oriented woman with much of ease and really was completely involved in her role (May be because her traits belongs to the same). Saif was looking much of a confused person not only because his role demanded it but also because may be he was not hitting the right cord along with Deepika. Role played by Rishi Kapoor is fantastic, he was the best fit for the role and the urge, excitement and emotions he portrayed were so true to be real that it always made you feel it was coming right from heart and you would want to follow them.
Music is really peppy and catchy, few tunes are foot tapping and there is a very nice soft song "Dooriyan" which would slowly intoxicate you. Cinematography is also very nice and so as direction, the best thing of direction is that Imtiaz never does copy of anyone's style but his improvisation is so nice that he somewhat creates a cult, be it "Socha Na Tha" or "Jab We Met".... you would find people relating themselves to the characters, I am sure this would continue after Love Aaj kal as well. He always come to characters not larger than life but true to life, absolute treat to watch his movies.
All in all this is a good bet to spend your money.
It is for mango people! the dialogue rocks!
Simply great movie a truly sensible and for modern lovers. This is a strong film reflects on how the old style of true love is still alive in this generation. It is also strongly appealing that god exists, belief exists and true love exist
finally Saif, and Deepika rocks they both share a good chemistry on screen.And of course how can we forget Rishi Kapoor I think he is well tailored for this role
A very predictable end but the way it ends is simply superb i think all 'HUM TUM' lovers will like this.
The title of the story says it all, love aaj kal explores the differences between a couple of today and that of 1965. Saif and Deepika after being in a steady relationship for almost one and a half years decide to break-up just because Deepika has to go to India for her work and Saif is waiting for an offer from an American company. They happily part and stay in touch afterwards. When alone, Saif meets Rishi Kapoor and listens to his love story about how he(Rishi) fell in love with a girl in Delhi without even actually talking to her in 1965. At this point Imtiaz shows the generation gap, and the difference in the view point of a lover of 1965 and a lover of 2009. Saif gets a new girlfriend and deepika too gets a new boyfriend but something somewhere goes wrong.......they are not able to get over each other, but still deepika marries her new boyfriend. In short the movie can be watched at least once for those who are restless when it comes to romantic movies, but for those who love romantic movies should not think of missing this one. If you are expecting a comedy similar to Jab We Met or Socha Na Tha then you may get disappointed as this movie is not a hardcore comedy but there are quite a few good laughs. Imtiaz Ali has proved himself yet again, Saif's comic timing is as usual quite good and the role of Deepika suits her really good. Enjoy this movie....
