Replicating participatory devices: the consensus conference confronts nanotechnology
Describes two examples (in France and in the US) of replication of the Danish procedure of the consensus conference for public participation in nanotechnology, and argues that emphasis on the evaluation of the participatory procedure should not be made at the expense of richer analysis of the problematisation of public participation fostered by such policy instruments.

Just like last year, first we get the press release AH's that a press conference would be held pre-market the following morning. Last year it was when the company announced the 3-year 45 billion dividend and buyback program.
The company has repeatedly stated they made 23 billion in cash just last quarter and are going to return more cash to investors. Wouldn't it be appropriate to coincide this year's dividend and buyback increase with Samsung's new launch?
Stayed tune AH's because management seems to be fighting back and they may very well release the news tonight that a press conference will occur pre-market tomorrow.
We all know it's coming soon!
Don't get too upset when it doesn't happen.
The stage is being set for some sort of strategy move.
I'm holding for the long-term and the company has stated they will return even more cash to us. We just don't know how or when, but I'm not going to worry that much about the timing.
The very fact that the company is defending itself is new to me, I'm just hoping it continues!
Samsung is like the Hyundai, Apple like Lexus. There will always be a group that likes the Hyundai.
Unfortunately both suck - Lexus is just an overpriced Toyota.
Have you seen the new Hyundai models? I'd choose them anytime over an overpriced Lexus
He is not a marketer nor a good CEO. He wont do anything but I am afraid becuase he has nothing to announce. Might be ok, when he speaks the market reacts and tanks the stock.
Hopefully he's waiting for the perfect scenario!
The company has repeatedly stated they would return more cash to us. They also kept referencing the fact that a majority of the extra cash is overseas. I can't find the link right now, but they did state that 15-20 billion has been repatriated and hopefully that's coming to us soon!
That would be nice, but I think if there is to be an announcement, he's more likely to wait until the Galaxy launch and see how the market reacts. Remember that AAPL moves on emotion right now and announcements for the last 6 months have been more negatively met than in the past. I think the launch will move AAPL PPS based on the reaction to Galaxy (either up or down) and an announcement later as a positive event may be more effective than one as a counter that might be seen as a weakness. Having said that, I hoped they would announce something (anything) 2 weeks ago.
It that is true then the announcement should come out Monday, just like last year with the press release pre-market Tuesday morning.
He's still spending the $45 bil to buyback shares. Why would he announce another buyback on top of the existing one. On the other hand the $45 bil buyback doesn't help much does it?
If you break down the numbers of the 3-year 45 billion plan, roughly 15 billion is dedicated for share buybacks with the remaining 30 billion allocated towards the quarterly dividends.
On 2/7/13, the company announced that as of 2/15, they would have spent 10 billion of the original plan established last year. 7.5 billion of that 10 billion went to fund the (3) quarterly dividends, leaving only 1.5 billion used for share buybacks.
That of course was as of 2/15/13, so hopefully more funds have been used for share buybacks since that press release on 2/7/13. Additionally, the company stated that they made 23 billion in cash just last quarter and would be returning even more cash to shareholders. That means in addition to the original program announced last March on 3/19/12.
I would suspect they'd increase the original 45 billion program to at least 60 billion with much more allocated towards share buybacks this time, with a modest increase to the current dividend.
Everyone wants a 1-time special dividend, but I'm hoping the company increases the current dividend because it would pay off more over the long-term and is sustainable with the company's cash flow. Who knows, maybe we get both!
he's too gay to do that...unless he grows a pair
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You sound like a long, so why now? The company never came out and defended itselve like it did last evening, so this could very well be in the cards.
Hopefully management is tired of the Samsung commercials that slap us everytime we launch and this would be a very appropriate time for the announcement.
We know it will happen before the 3/23 qute period and last year it occurred on 3/19, so why not right now?
It's about time this company fights back!

Medical Treatments
MARY LOUISE KELLY, host:
The Obama administration is facing its first big decision about whether to remove a drug from the market. Hundreds of thousands of Americans with diabetes take a drug called Avandia.
Yesterday, researchers published two new studies that add to evidence that Avandia raises the risk of heart attacks, stroke and cardiovascular death. And next month, the Food and Drug Administration will hold a public debate about the safety of the drug. NPR's Richard Knox reports.
RICHARD KNOX: One of the new studies is the largest done so far on Avandia. It was commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration and published by the Journal of the American Medical Association. It looks at what happened when nearly 230,000 Medicare recipients took either Avandia or a related drug, Actos. Dr. David Graham of the FDA says the results were alarming.
Dr. DAVID GRAHAM (Food and Drug Administration): If you treated 60 people for a year with Avandia, you would cause one extra case of heart attack, stroke, heart failure or death, compared to if you had treated 60 patients with Actos.
KNOX: This is a substantial difference. Graham says it means nearly 50,000 elderly Americans have died or had heart attacks, strokes or heart failure due to Avandia since the drug came on the market in 1999. Add in those under 65 and the number is probably 100,000.
A second new study appears in the "Archives of Internal Medicine." It updates an analysis done three years ago that concluded Avandia greatly raises the risk of heart attacks and deaths.
Study author Steven Nissen, of the Cleveland Clinic, says the new analysis pools results from 52 studies and it comes out pretty much the same way.
Dr. STEVEN NISSEN (Chairman, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine): I think what we can say, confidently, is looking at the totality of data in 2010, Avandia increases the risk of heart attack compared to other diabetes drugs by about a third.
KNOX: Nissen started the whole debate in 2007 with his first analysis. Before that, Avandia was the world's most popular diabetes drug. Afterward, the number of prescriptions dropped by half but Avandia still brings in more than a billion dollars a year for drug's maker, GlaxoSmithKline.
Company Vice President Jia Patel says the critics are just wrong about the dangers of Avandia. He says a six high-quality studies have been done since Nissen's first bombshell three years ago.
Dr. JIA PATEL (Vice President, GlaxoSmithKline): Taken together, these trials do not show any increase in overall risk of heart attack, stroke or death with Avandia.
KNOX: Patel says studies that find otherwise, all have fatal flaws.
To sort out the conflicting claims, the FDA has scheduled a two-day hearing in mid July. Then the agency will have to decide whether to pull Avandia from the market.
Again, Steve Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. NISSEN: We approach what will be I think a defining moment for the new administration and the FDA: what to do with this drug thats now been around for 11 years, for which the cloud of suspicion has gotten greater and greater and greater.
KNOX: Some think the FDA should have taken action months or years ago. David Graham, the agency's most vocal inside critic, says the agency failed to learn the lessons from the disaster involving the pain killer Vioxx in 2004. It was withdrawn from the market after studies indicated it raised the risk of heart attacks.
Dr. GRAHAM: Vioxx and Avandia, what they represent is a failure of FDA decision-making; a failure to place patient safety first, ahead of corporate profits.
KNOX: But one of Graham's bosses says the agency has not been dragging its feet. Joshua Sharfstein is the FDA's principal deputy commissioner. He says the agency has been busy lately gathering new data that have come out since 2007.
Dr. JOSHUA SHARFSTEIN (Principal Deputy Commissioner, FDA): A lot has changed since then, so we feel that this is a very good time to do a serious assessment of Avandia's safety.
KNOX: The FDA has its defenders. Dr. David Kessler, now at the University of California at San Francisco, is a former FDA commissioner known for tough stands on public safety.
Dr. DAVID KESSLER (Former Commissioner, FDA): It's not that the agency has been dithering. The fact is, these are very hard questions.
KNOX: Still, Avandia has changed Kessler's mind about how the FDA makes decisions on drug safety. He used to think it was okay for the same people who approve a drug to decide if it should be taken off the market when problems arise.
Dr. KESSLER: For the first time, I have questions whether somebody who has put their name on an approval letter, that somehow makes it harder to say - boy, I might have made a mistake.
KNOX: FDA leaders say they're looking at whether the regulators who decided the drug should stay on the market ought to be walled off from those who let it on in the first place.

"For a guitarist who made a name for himself lending out his services as a sideman to many major players in Winnipeg's blues/roots scene, Chris Carmichael sure knows a thing or two about rock 'n' roll. His debut full-length is a muscular rock/alt-country record that only winks at his bluesy past. The meaty guitar riffs and solos are impressive as ever, but it's Carmichael's knack for penning earworm vocal hooks, as evidenced in songs such as Nowhere and Pop Song, that really makes this effort something special. He also played damn-near every instrument on the thing, and the talent on display here is mind boggling. — Jen Zoratti "

How a Celebrity Chef of the 80's Got His Stove Back
By ALEX WITCHEL
Published: April 17, 2002
DON'T be alarmed by the sound of glasses smashing behind the white onyx bar at Washington Park, as they did with alarming frequency the day I was there. The restaurant had only been open for a week, and a certain amount of chaos was expected. Never mind that the martinis that night had to be served in riesling glasses. Heed instead the long-held superstition that when a glass breaks it signals a change in karma: whatever energies have been pulling you one way, the direction changes and you are headed, with luck, to a better place.
Jonathan Waxman, whose iconic 1980's hot spot, Jams, brought California cuisine to Manhattan and made him one of the country's first celebrity chefs, is back in town with his own restaurant for the first time in 13 years. In 1989, after a spectacular flameout following the '87 market crash, when he had to close Jams and Bud's, his American bistro on the Upper West Side, and sell off Hulot's, the third restaurant in his mini-New York empire (a Jams in London also closed), Mr. Waxman seemed to disappear. After years as a media darling who elevated American cuisine to the revered level of French, with prices to match; years as the hard-partying whiz kid who would hop a plane to Paris for dinner at Taillevent and show up at all his competitors' places on their first or second day in business -- poof! He was gone.
The odyssey that led Mr. Waxman, 51, back to the stove is both a love story, with his wife, Sally, and their children, Hannah, 5, and Alexander, 2, and a story about growing up.
''I'm not the same person I was back then,'' Mr. Waxman said on Friday afternoon, sitting at a table in his new restaurant, which was most recently Rose Cafe, at 24 Fifth Avenue (Ninth Street). ''Thirteen years is a long time, and I think people change. I don't believe this nonsense that you have the same personality your whole life. People do learn, they do have the capacity as individuals to affect their destiny. Being a young restaurateur, I was approached with so many offers. But I don't care anymore. Put my name on a pot? I don't think so.''
Mr. Waxman's voice is rich and deep, sounding something like the trombone he used to play, which earned him a scholarship to the University of Nevada at Reno and gave him his starter career, first as a musician in casino pit bands and later on the road with Lynx, a rock group. You can still see those roots in his somewhat scraggly blond beard, graying now. But mostly, you can feel that unmistakable California calm that people who have worked with him mention repeatedly. Maybe 33 was just too young to get so much attention.
''Jonathan represents something for those of us who were around then -- youthful, talented, fresh and appealingly bad boy,'' said Michael Batterberry, editor and publisher of Food Arts magazine. ''His style coalesced around Alice Waters and Jeremiah Tower, and his partnership in Jams with Melvyn and Janie Master, who are English, made New Yorkers feel poised at the epicenter between London and California. It had the English panache of the Masters and the California youthfulness of Jonathan.''
Clark Wolf, a hotel and restaurant consultant in New York, said: ''His grilled free-range chicken and French fries were brilliant. They made you see the connection between California and France. And Jams was cognoscenti-friendly before downtown even happened.''
It was Mr. Waxman's own persona that helped draw those crowds. ''Whoever said chefs in the 80's were like rock-and-roll stars had Jonathan in mind,'' Mr. Batterberry said. ''The talent, plus the hair, the girls, the cars. It was quite new and very Rolling Stone.''
Well, these days, if he's not quite Modern Maturity, he's definitely My Generation. He has refocused his priorities on family and on refining the brand of cooking that made him famous, at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and at Michael's in Santa Monica: allowing fresh, seasonal ingredients to shine, with minimal interference. ''The shad roe should spend as little time with me as possible,'' Mr. Waxman said. ''I only want to see asparagus once a year and then not again. I don't want to see apples all year round. It's boring.''
Though his menu at Washington Park changes daily, his signature grilled chicken with French fries and red-pepper pancakes topped with smoked salmon, crème fraîche and caviar remain. They are crowd pleasers and he knows it. But even they are not entirely the same.
''I'm a lot less concerned about fussing with the plate than I used to be,'' he said. ''A sprig of chervil is a nice thing, but it's superfluous. In the past I was overly concerned with adding nuances to a dish. I've edited myself a little.''
Or a lot, depending on your perspective. After his New York restaurants closed, Mr. Waxman sold his vintage Ferrari for $65,000 and moved to California, where he lived off that money for a year. In 1991, The Los Angeles Times called him ''America's most famous chef without a restaurant,'' a status he soon amended with the opening of Table 29 in the Napa Valley, a short-lived disaster. By 1993 he was back in New York, working as a consultant for the Ark Restaurants Corporation, advising on properties like the Bryant Park Grill and Cafe, which serves 1,000 meals a day. Whatever for?

PIECES OF APRIL (PG-13) Novelist and screenwriter Peter Hedges has a great track record for maintaining tenderness despite his characters' comic foibles. But that ability fails him in this slight, flip story of a black sheep, April (Katie Holmes) living in a depressing walk-up on the Lower East Side, who invites her family to Thanksgiving dinner. Hedges attempts to inject some gravitas by having April's mother (Patricia Clarkson) dying of cancer, but his constant jokiness creates a distance from these characters. The usual dysfunctional family jocularity fits badly with a last-minute, disingenuous effort to extract emotional investment from his audience. --FF
SCARY MOVIE 3 (PG-13) Unlike Keenan Ivory Wayans' previous, R-rated horror spoofs, the third film's less restrictive rating means no nipples and no cum shots but still allows most of Pamela Anderson's breasts and hints of pedophilia and bestiality. The real problem with Airplane! director David Zucker's cameo-laden combination of the plots of Signs and The Ring with bits of 8 Mile and The Matrix is that it isn't funny. The filmmakers have lost their Wayanses. --SW
SHATTERED GLASS (PG-13) A gripping journalistic thriller with a goofy title, Shattered tells the story of the 24-year-old wunderkind New Republic reporter Stephen Glass who invented half of the stories he passed off as fact. Hayden Christensen delivers a believable performance as a world-class sniveler who used his boyish charms to cover his tracks. But the real thrills come from the film's willingness to heap the blame not on just one wayward cheater, but on an entire journalistic practice which rewards flashy, salacious, gonzo reportage and worries more about image than content. --FF
TIBET: CRY OF THE SNOW LION (NR) Directory Tom Peosay spent 10 years making this documentary about the plight of Tibet under the oppressive shadow of Beijing. It features narration and voice-overs from Martin Sheen, Ed Harris, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon as well as a musical contribution from R.E.M. At Landmark Theatres Midtown Art Cinema.
TIMELINE (PG-13) A Michael Crichton time travel novel hits the screen with an amazing lack of attention to detail, from the large to the small, as well as the factual, visual and aural. Student archaeologists go back to France in 1357 via a "fax machine for three-dimensional objects" and get caught in the middle of the Hundred Years War. Beam me out of here, Scotty. --SW
TUPAC RESURRECTION (R) Filmmaker Lauren Lazin uses deceased rapper/actor Tupac Shakur's interviews, lyrics and public appearances to form an in-his-own-words biopic (comparable to Imagine: John Lennon) that's surprisingly complex. The first half's chronicle of Shakur's rise in the film and recording industries could be a video press kit, but the increasing presence of violence and legal troubles combined with the film's exhaustingly rapid pace turn the film into a kind of fever dream of American celebrity gone awry. --CH
21 GRAMS (R) Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's (Amores Perros) drama is an anguished meditation on the mess and guilt left behind when a tragedy unites three disparate strangers. A grieving drug addict (Naomi Watts), an ex-con turned Jesus freak (Benicio Del Toro) and a gravely ill man (Sean Penn) waiting for a heart transplant find their lives intersecting in a film that recalls the tapestried existential angst of Magnolia. The film features a genuinely tortured, magnetic turn by Del Toro, whose fascinating character should have had his own movie. 21 Grams is overburdened by its melodramatic meltdowns and actorly moments that spell out the traumas in far too broad gestures. --FF

How to Stop on a Dime (Driving)
You're driving fast, when suddenly the car in front of you stops abruptly! Knowing how to stop on a dime may prevent a serious accident.
1Lift your foot from the accelerator pedal and apply the brake firmly.
2Be prepared for the car's response to the sudden braking. If your tires lock up and you start to skid, let off of the brake pedal some and then press down again. The fastest stop will come from hitting the brakes almost hard enough to lock up your tires, but if they actually lock up, you may slide much further, and possibly lose control.
3Stay on the road if possible, because grass gives less traction than pavement.
4Keep your vehicle as light as possible. Cars with additional weight from cargo take more time to stop.
5Look for an escape route if you realize you will not be able to stop, but never swerve in front of oncoming traffic, or into a ditch or median area that is more hazardous than the situation you are facing.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- You can lower your speed more quickly if you are going uphill.
- Keep focused on the traffic all around you, because a cue to stop quickly can come at any time.
- Make sure your vehicle's brake system is in good working order.
- If you are in a newer car with anti-lock brakes, the pedal might throb under your foot. This is normal.
- Abusing a vehicle's brakes may cause them to fail prematurely. Brake lines, slave cylinders, and even master cylinders are under considerable pressure when the pedal is pushed with extreme force, and if one of these fails, you may find yourself with no brakes at all.
Things You'll Need
- A car
- Good brakes.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says coastal officials may intentionally break a levee on the east bank of flooded Plaquemines Parish to relieve pressure on the structure.
At a news conference in Baton Rouge, Jindal said there's no estimate on when that might occur. He says as many as 40 people are reportedly in need of rescue in the area.
He says Plaquemines Parish has ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank below Belle Chasse.
Officials say the evacuation was ordered out of concern that more storm surge from Isaac would be pushed into the area and levees might be overtopped.

This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 693,572 filed June 7, 1976 now abandoned.
In response to the requirements of both government and industry, means have been provided to avoid the passage of fumes to the atmosphere during the transfer of volatile fuels and liquids from a storage tank thereof, to a fuel tank or the like.
The system adapted to this purpose when applied to an automotive service station, is ordinarily referred to as a closed fuel system. In essence, the system comprises the basic means whereby to effect a fuel transfer operation. A manually operated nozzle is initially inserted into the fuel tank to be filled. Sealing means carried on the nozzle is positioned to form a vapor tight fit with the tank filler tube.
During the actual fuel transfer, fumes which evaporate from the fuel, as well as fumes and air which are displaced from the tank, are carried back through the nozzle. They are then returned to the fuel source or to an alternate accumulation point.
Seal tight nozzles of this type are found to be satisfactory in most instances for effecting the necessary transfer of fuel, as well as for automatically discontinuing fuel flow when the tank becomes filled. However, since the system is entirely segregated and sealed from the atmosphere, there is a chance for an undesired accumulation of vapors. This occurs when they are not properly conducted from the tank being filled.
To overcome the situation which might arise due to a closed system becoming overpressurized, means is usually provided in the fuel dispensing nozzle for discontinuing the flow in response to a predetermined increase in fuel tank pressure. It has been noted that in such systems however, because of the particular arrangement of the nozzle, and the facility therein for handling both liquid fuel and the vapor, under certain circumstances fuel which is pumped from the source, can be recycled through the nozzle. It would thereafter return to the source without ever entering the fuel tank being filled. This circumstance represents an untenable situation. Although the pumped volume of fuel is registered and charged to a customer, it nonetheless might not reach its destination.
The factors which lead toward recycling of the fuel are often prompted by some malfunction in the fuel pumping mechanism. This malfunction can originate at any of several elements within the system prior to fuel reaching the nozzle. In any instance, a characteristic of the malfunction is that the fuel pressure within the system, and within the nozzle itself, decreases noticeably.
Toward overcoming the problem of fuel recycling, there is presently disclosed a nozzle and means therein for automatically discontinuing fuel flow. This action is taken in response to a predetermined pressure decrease at the upstream side of the nozzle's main metering valve. The system comprises the necessary means for determining a pressure differential between a point within the nozzle's fuel flow passage, and the atmospheric pressure. These two reference points are utilized to stabilize the open, or flow condition of the main flow valve. When the stabilized pressure condition is upset due to decrease in pressure within the nozzle, a signal transmitted to the main flow jcontrol valve actuator automatically adjusts said main valve to shut down the fuel system.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a fuel dispensing nozzle capable of sensing a decrease in fuel flow volume, and of discontinuing flow through the nozzle. A further object is to provide a seal tight nozzle for a fuel system which is adapted to automatically adjust itself to discontinue fuel therethrough in response to a number of conditions within the system prompted either by overpressuring or underpressuring of the latter. A still further object is to provide a dispensing system for a volatile fuel in which a malfunction in the system, which would ordinarily prompt recycling of the fuel back to its source, is automatically stabilized by sensing of the condition within the dispensing nozzle.
In the drawings,
FIG. 1 is an environmental view of the nozzle of the type contemplated shown in conjunction with a fuel source and a fuel tank.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view in partial cross section of a nozzle of the type contemplated.
FIG. 3 is a segmentary view on an enlarged scale of a portion of the nozzle shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a schematic sketch illustrating the various elements of the nozzle shown in FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 1, a nozzle 10 of the type contemplated is shown in a closed fuel system which is comprised primarily of a source of fuel 11 which is connected to a pump 12. The latter in turn can be actuated to deliver fuel through a conduit 13, through the nozzle 10, and thence to the fuel tank 14 such as is found in an automobile or a boat. The nozzle 10 as shown, is removably positioned in filler pipe 16 of the tank 14 and includes means 17 for providing a vapor tight seal with the latter to complete the closed fuel system.
This system is characteristic of the normal service station wherein an automotive vehicle will be driven to the pump 12 and so positioned to receive the nozzle 10. As is generally done, the nozzle is manually inserted into place by an operator such that the resilient sealing element 17, a rubber boot or the like forms a desired temporary sealed connection between the nozzle 10 and the tank filler pipe 16.
Referring to FIG. 2, nozzle 10 comprises basically a body 18 in which a main flow valve 19 is positioned. The latter is connected through an extended plunger 21 to operably engage a manual actuator lever 22. The latter is pivoted at one end 23 to the body, the other end being manually adjustable to achieve a desired fuel flow rate.
Body 18 comprises an elongated handle 24 which encloses the main fuel passage 26, which terminates at the handle remote end at a connection 27. Said connection 27 is adapted to engage elongated, flexible fuel conduit 13 which in turn is connected at its far end to the fuel source or pump 12.
The downstream side of main control valve 19 opens into a fuel passage 28, which in turn is communicated with elongated discharge tube 29 through check valve 31. The elongated discharge tube 29 as shown, is slightly curved to more readily facilitate the fuel transfer operation and to preferably dispose the nozzle in an efficient attitude for achieving the necessary fuel transfer.
Fuel passage 28 formed within nozzle 10 is provided with a central portion having check valve 31 disposed therein. The latter comprises in essence a check valve base 32 supported between the peripheral walls of the circular passage 29. Base 32 includes an upstanding guide column 33 disposed substantially longitudinally of the flow passage. A check valve aperture 34 is formed within said passage 28, by annular seat 37. Check valve 31 further includes a circular frusto conical segment having a circumferential edge which sealably engages seat 37 when urged into the latter by a biasing spring 39. The latter is positioned along a guide pin 33, further engaging the base member 32 to permit oscillatory motion of the check valve. Such valve motion normally occurs in response to the movement of flow of fuel through main control valve 19 and into the downstream passage 28 prior to fuel entering fuel tank 14.
Main valve 19 as shown, includes essentially a circular seat 42 against which a plunger 43 is urged by a biasing spring 44. Plunger 43 includes a circular sealing face 46 which corresponds to seat 42. An elongated extension pin or stem 47 depends from valve plunger 43 and terminates externally of the body 18 to be contacted by actuating lever 22. Main valve 19 is adjusted to open position by pivotally moving actuator lever 22 such that it raises valve stem 47.
The nozzle automatic fuel flow shut-off mechanism is arranged to instantly close valve 19 in response to the occurrence of any of several events. The latter includes the filling of tank 14, a sudden pressure rise downstream of the check valve 31, and a drop off of fuel flow or pressure within the nozzle.
Referring again to FIG. 2, the shut-off system includes an elongated stem 45, which is provided with locking ball 48, seats 40, and which is operably connected to lever 22 at pivot point 23. A conical portion 49 is adjacent to locking balls 48 such that the entire stem 45 can be raised and locked in a desired valve open position. This results from the action of the confining circumferentially placed balls 48 resting against shoulder 50.
Nozzle 10 includes a plenum chamber 51 having a diaphragm 52 disposed thereacross, being sealably held in place about the periphery by a cap 53. The latter is provided with an internal cavity which, together with diaphragm 52 forms adjustable chamber 51. The underside of diaphragm 52 encloses a vented chamber 55. A spring 54 is guidably positioned within chamber 51 against the cap 53. The combined action of spring serves to urge diaphragm 52, and consequently the pin 49, normally in the downward direction to lock stem 45 in the valve open position.
Check valve 31 is disposed within the inner portion of discharge tube 29 such that preferably the latter is removable from nozzle body 18. To achieve the necessary vapor tight relationship when tube 29 is assembled with body 18, circular "O" rings 56, 57 and 58 are compressed into place. Rings 56 and 57 form a pair of circular seals having an annular chamber 59 therebetween. Elongated passage 61 extended through the body 18 wall, transverses diaphragm 52 to communicate said annular passage 59 with plenum chamber 51. The latter, due to the pivotal connection with lever 22 and main valve 19, forms the main valve actuator.
The nozzle flow shut-off and sensing system for discontinuing fuel flow by closing valve 19 in response to overpressuring the system or the filling of fuel tank 14, comprises an elongated sensing tube 62. The latter extends through discharge tube 29 and terminates adjacent the tube open end at a tip 63 having an aperture 64 in the discharge tube wall. Said conduit 62 is communicated through a passage 66 formed in the central web of the discharge tube 29, which in turn communicates with a second annular passage 67 defined between "O" rings 58 and 57.
A disc-like member 71 is positioned against the underside of the nozzle body 18 by appropriate means such as screws or the like. Said disc member 71 includes a cavity 72 formed therein, and a second sensing valve element 73 positioned centrally thereof. Second sensing valve element 73 is supported by spring 70 and includes a conical head which is longitudinally movable within the disc-like member 71 to engage a circular seat 74. It will thus form a fluid tight seal when urged thereagainst. A minor cavity 76 is formed in member 71. Chamber 72 is closed by diaphragm 77 which in effect forms an expandable chamber adjacent the second sensing valve 73.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, cavity 76 is communicated through a single passage 78 with a first sensing valve operator 79. A generally disc-shaped vented cover 75 carried on the disc-like member 71 encloses a vented chamber 82. Compression spring 83 within chamber 82, acts against diaphragm 77 to normally urge the diaphragm downwardly into the chamber 72, and consequently to urge valve 73 into an open position.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, transverse passage 78 formed in the body 18 communicates with the first pressure sensing valve actuator. The latter comprises valve body 81 formed of a first member having cavities 87 and 97 formed therein. Said body 81 is fastened into contact with a diaphragm 79. A corresponding cavity 87 formed in the valve body 81 permits diaphragm 79 to be displaced in response to the motion of plunger 102 within chamber 87 to provide the result hereinafter noted.
The lower end of body 81 includes a cavity 97 provided with a guide section or seat 92 which slidably accommodates a plunger or valve 94 having a conical face 93. Spring 96 carried in chamber 87 normally urges plunger 94 into a closed position, against valve seat 92. A cover plate 80 fastened against body 81 forms an air tight closure to chamber 97.
The upper end of the body 81 is provided with a second member 98 having diaphragm 88 about its periphery to enclose expandable cavity 89 within said second member. Cavity 89 is vented to the atmosphere through passage 100. Second body 98 is provided with a passage 99 extending therethrough which communicates at one end with chamber 87, and at the other end communicates with the cross passage 78 by way of an opening in diaphragm 88.
A movable plunger 102 is positioned within guide 103 having one side engaging diaphragm 79. Said plunger 102 can engage piston 101 which is normally urged in an upward direction by a biasing spring 104 to engage diaphragm 88 in vented chamber 89. On the upward side of diaphragm 88 a connecting passage 109 communicates compartment 111 with a sensing point preferably positioned in fuel passage 28 between flow control valve 19 and check valve 31.
A connecting passage 107 communicates chamber 97 in body 81 with passage 108 in body 18 through diaphragm 79 and diaphragm 88 respectively. Passage 108 in turn communicates with annulus 59 which in turn communicates through passage 61 to cavity 51.
Operationally, and referring to the schematic diagram of FIG. 5, the instant sealable, dispensing nozzle 10 functions both manually and automatically. Initially, fuel flow through valve 19 is commenced by displacing lever 22 to an upward position after stem 15 is locked. Fuel flow will then proceed from the source 12, through valve 19, through passage 28 through check valve 31, and thence into discharge tube 29.
Thereafter the nozzle sensing system will come into operation to automatically discontinue the flow. Upon the happening of any one of several events, said flow will be discontinued:
(a) when fuel rises within the tank filler tube a sufficient distance to cover sensing point 64,
(b) when the pressure sensed at point 64 exceeds a predetermined value, or
(c) when the fuel flow has decreased below a predetermined volume, a condition that is reflected by a drop of pressure within passage 28.
The sensing system, by virtue of the open connection between check valve 31 constricted opening 30, and downstream sensing points 64, forms an open passage. Thus, said open system in effect communicates the main valve actuator 51 with sensing point 64, subject to the condition in passage 28, sensed at point 109. During this period of full flow, the main valve actuator 51 will be acted on in a manner that the pressure of spring 54 will act against diaphragm 52. Said action will balance the flow through passage 61 and the sensing system such that diaphragm 52 will maintain a stabilized position.
During normal fuel flow, main valve 19 will of course be in the open position; check valve 31 will be forced open by virtue of the fuel pressure thereagainst. Fuel pressure within passage 28 downstream of valve 19 will be transmitted to chamber 111. The downward movement of diaphragm 88 against piston 101 and spring 104 will thus displace plunger 102 which in turn bears against diaphragm 79. Inward movement of the latter displaces plunger 94 thereby communicating chamber 97, which is communicated with passages 107 and 108 and then through valve 94, with chamber 87.
The latter is communicated through passage 99 and 78 to chamber 76 and by way of valve 73, with chamber 72. Valve 73 is acted on by spring 83 within the vented chamber 82 through diaphragm 77 such that the open position of the said valve 73 is maintained so long as a diminished pressure exists in the sensing tube 62 and downstream sensing point 64.
Upon the occurrence of a rise within the fuel tank filler pipe 16, downstream sensing point 64 will become submerged in fuel. The resulting reduction of the pressure within the sensing system due to the check valve 31 operation, will maintain valve 73 in the open position. This low pressure will be communicated to chamber 51. However, the pressure within chamber 51 will then be reduced such that the resulting upward movement of diaphragm 52 will cause locking balls 48 to release the stem 45. This movement will release lever 22 from its displaced position, which in turn permits valve 19 to close.
Upon a build-up of pressure within either the fuel tank 14 or nozzle 10, due to fumes or fuel being trapped therein, the pressure at the downstream sensing point 64 will be sensed and transmitted through sensing tube 62. Pressure acting against diaphragm 77 will cause the latter to be displaced against spring 83 thus allowing spring 70 to close valve 73. This of course again upsets the overall sensing system in the same manner as described above, which system is communicated with chamber 51 such that diaphragm 52 is again displaced to release the lever 22, and again discontinue flow through the nozzle by closing valve 19.
At such time as a reduced fuel flow is realized through nozzle 10 due to some malfunction within the fuel system, or within the pumping mechanism, this reduced pressure will first be noted at flow passage 28 downstream of the open main flow valve 19. This reduction in pressure will be transmitted to closed chamber 111. Since spring 104 serves to maintain the equilibrium of piston 101 against pressures in chamber 111 acting on diaphragm 88, upon reduction of the pressure within said chamber, the said diaphragm 88 will be displaced into chamber 111. The movement of diaphragm 88 will permit plunger 102 to be lifted and as a consequence force against the diaphragm will be reduced, permitting valve 94 to close by action of spring 96.
With the closure of said valve 94 flow through the sensing system will again be interrupted as described above resulting in the subsequent upsetment of the pressure within actuator 51 to cause the displacement of diaphragm 52 with the release of the stem 45. Thus, and as has been noted, lever 22 will be released from its locked position to permit valve 19 to close, which event will again shut off fuel flow through the nozzle.
Other modifications and variations of the invention as hereinbefore set forth may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and therefore, only such limitations should be imposed as are indicated in the appended claims.

(UT Athletics)
Horn In Its Side
Jan. 4, 2006: The Trojans had two Heisman Trophy winners and a 34-game winning streak. Holding a 38-33 lead over Texas in the 2005 BCS title game, the Trojans were 2 yards and a first down away from winning a share of a third straight national championship. But USC tailback LenDale White was stuffed for only 1 yard on fourth down, turning the ball over to the Longhorns. Texas QB Vince Young scored on an 8-yard run with 19 seconds to go, giving UT a 41-38 victory, which squashed USC's three-peat attempt.

The War at Home
Published: June 21, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
To a considerable extent, this is a book about domestic tensions. Forget the war. It adds to the strain but is really only a kind of scarecrow, not a decisive force. What matters throughout is Anne's anger at an idiotic (and, even in retrospect, hard to believe) affair James had with one of his high school students. (In 1940!) O'Nan brings brilliantly to life the minute moves and velleities, the sensitive twitchings, the fraught reticences and withholdings of self that mark this form of combat, in which duty (to the dying father, to the sons) and habit, finances and the sheer dailiness of life manage to preclude really outright destruction.
James (''fat, on the wrong side of 50'') wants to be forgiven, but deserves -- and in a few months gets -- a lifetime's chill, a decade's worth of needling feminine ire. Hopefully watching Anne's moods, registering her slightest slight, her most minute gesture that can herald a change of weather, he takes what crumbs he can. In context, it is remarkable how much mileage O'Nan manages to squeeze out of so ludicrous a line as this: ''While she'd rebuffed him yet again in bed, she had done so gently, and here she was pleasant and quick, stopping to sip her coffee, then flitting to the fridge for the oleo.''
Rennie's combat experience is mortally convincing. Anne's affair with the handsome soldier rarely rises much above romance novel quality. Dorothy in San Diego could be handled by Central Casting. Jay is too neurotic by half and of curiously indeterminate age -- he has a bike and a paper route, but sleeps with a night light and has only just learned to take a bath by himself.
At last the Langers pack the car to leave and matter-of-factly sort the father's things, everything accented by continued matrimonial sparring. ''His mother and father had been fighting all morning. When they knew he was watching,'' Jay thinks, ''they tried to make it seem funny.'' He finds their behavior shattering, especially their unconvincing attempts at the appearance of parental harmony, which are even more devastating because finally he does not know whom he can trust.
At the penultimate moment of departure, all three crammed onto the front seat, Anne suddenly reaches across Jay to touch his father's shoulder and the author allows them a minuscule epiphany. ''His father patted her hand, and, unexpectedly -- as shocking as if she'd attacked him with her fists -- she leaned across Jay, her body covering his, and kissed his father. . . . All summer he'd been terrified of them.'' Now ''he wanted to believe everything would be the way it was before.'' He knows this isn't true. ''Yet, years later, he couldn't help but remember how safe it made him feel then.''
In the world according to Stewart O'Nan, so far at least, that's about as happy as things get.

Question from Reuben
I love your website and have been an avid reader for a year now. I was wondering if you could post a question for me. My question is about Band-Aids and medical items.
- How long do Band-Aids last past their expiration date?
- Will they stay sterile past their exp. date if unopened or does the plastic go bad or their individual package break down (as paper degrades over time)?
- How does expiration dates apply to items such as Hydrogen Peroxide, Benadine, Mercurochrome, Ointments, Alcohol?
Please help Reuben out by posting your advice and thoughts in the comments below…

I'm a new comer in Google V8 and Javascript, and I'm trying to add a new class to Javascript using C++.
I've finished some work using Webkit's V8 binding, references are: webkit idl and v8 binding
Now I want to integrate it into V8 engine directly, by modifying V8's code instead of simply using V8's api to make a extension. In other words, I want to add a new class just like Array type in Javascript, using the same implementation mechanism.
I've searched the Internet, including docs in Google, but have only seen guides on embedding V8 with native code.
Where can I find guides about modifying V8's code?
Or where can I find docs about V8's design architecture?
Or can anyone describe how V8 implements the Array type in C++?
Thanks a lot.

Video: Bryan Fischer says Scouts should be renamed 'Boy Sodomisers of America'
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Oh they can't do that, silly. It might have copyright conflicts with certain titles in your secret collection, Bryan.
Your comment made my day :D
This is lazy mining of an available and regular source of anti-gay invective. It is neither newsworthy nor new and takes no effort.
A bit more research might have revealed this article in the Washington Post, which has stated that evangelical Christian power is decreasing: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/20/evangelical-weakness-in-gay-boy-scouts-debate-coul/?page=all#pagebreak.
Or the comment from Romney who had said in 2012 that gay people should be able to join the American boy scouts: http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/04/26/471798/romney-boy-scouts/.
"Sodomy" is where the minds of homophobes go just from hearing the word "gay," despite the fact that not all gay men enjoy or participate in that activity and some heterosexual couples do. This is their own psychological problem, and they try to make it the nation's moral problem. The only disgusting thing in this story is Bryan Fischer's mind.
When one considers the ratio of gay to straight people and the fact, as you state correctly, that not all gay men enjoy or participate in anal sex then it is more than probable that the majority of anal sex is performed by heterosexuals.
This is a topic which should be researched. Any takers (no pun intended)?
I find the obsession of religiously fanatic right-wingers with sodomy to be hilariously funny. Why are they so hung up on it? Is it what they do? I mean, they never seem to mention any other form of intercourse, as if it's the only one they know. Ah, now I've seen the light. They're reproducing by… yes… PARTHENOGENESIS. This is the stuff that's emptying out the pews and if they made comments like this about anyone else's sex lives, the effect would be just the same. They just get more and more ludicrous. So, laugh at them.
He's almost a Monty Python sketch.
But everyone always expects the Bigot Inquisition!
Haha love that
Excuse me, pinknews, is such 'creature' (amed Bryan Fischer) worth any media attention at all? Much more urgently I consider to need to teach this misbirth of nature some 'discipline'!
Too bad the British didn't send the Puritans to North America in a leaky boat. Now they've ended up addle-brained and armed to the teeth with nukes. What a chance to free the future…
teach him not learn him
Of course, against a 'friendly rate' :-)
P.S. Personally I am anything but leaned towards heavy sodomy privately, yet for such a scumbag I am sure more people are more than willing to 'sacrifice' some of their value time for the worthy and upright charitable cause of further education.
LOL. Bryan Fruitloop strikes again.
I'm sure that no self-described straight scout or leader has ever molested another scout or leader. No Catholic priest either, for that matter.
Why is this man's mug plastered all across PinkNews? He makes an outrageous statement about gay people every day–it's not news any more. Please stop reporting the vile nonsense this man spews.
For some strange reason Fundamentalist are so obsessed with the mere thought of buggery its pethetic. Bryan Fischer was recently asked on a radio program if he ever had gay urges, Fischer dodged completely answering the question.
I'm pretty stunned people active in the Catholic church could have the guts to accuse gays of being potential pedophiles considering that, as far as I know, there's been no reports of pedophilia from people who are openly homosexual.
Now, people who openly are Catholic priests, on the other hand…
"These are the words of Jesus himself to the Boy Scouts…"
Erm, excuse me if I'm wrong but I'm sure the Boy Scouts were founded by Baden Powell and that certainly was not 2000 years ago!
somehow, I think there's a millstone with Fischer's name on it… Please, let's locate it quickly, and put it to its intended use.
Poor Bryan, he probably isn't having enough sodomy himself.
Because saying a straight man in a girls scouts tent is a dangerous, but calling for children to be drowned isn't?
Keep it up Bryan you are doing a great job of hating us and that of course only makes us stronger. And oh thank you for your interest in LGBT affairs. Be careful though, that your own gay experiences don't come to light and make you even more of a laughing stock than you are already. A side though, I think he is funny ha ha and funny peculiar
And he should be renamed Mr KKK Fischer – was he a camp kommandant in a previous life?
This man is a Complete C**t. Not worth my comments tbh End of.
And what new name is he going to come up with for the Roman Catholic Church then?
Does pink News hate gay people.
These stories are not news _ they are Gay bashing
Last weeK PN did an article defending ese relentlessly hateful stories. They said its uy LGBT rights by advertising these bigots.
The feedback was clear. It was over the top.
Perhaps it's time to get my news from a group which does not hate gay people as PN seems to do.
Perhaps a good idea would be to make only one monthly note summarising all the hateful and stupid things all these looneys said (Fischer, Westboro Church, that other crazy woman I can't remember her name, etc.). In that way, it wouldn't be so depressing reading everyday all the hate they spout.
He talks so much crap, it would be more like a bj
How may listeners does this man have?
It must be 10's of millions to merit him having 2 front page stories?
Unless of course Pn simply wants to gaybash its readers?
sorry Catholic Church is already TM and copyright holder. Apparently they are lauching the t-shirt and mug collection featuring the logo next year…
And the American family association should be renamed the American Fascists Association.
Luv ya pink shirt, Bryana!
We need statistics: how many convictions of child molestation by church officials vs how many by Bot Scout officials. then we will have a case. The problem probably will be that the vast majority of church officials are just moved on/ hidden and not prosecuted.
What a twat! He has no love but for his perverted doctrine and tradition. Without wishing to repeat myself… What a twat!
You should check out the poem entitled 'Twat' by John Cooper Clark. Though written decades ago it could have been composed with this numbskull in mind.
This guy seems to be uncontactable unless you sign up to give him money.
Yeah – let this idiot continue to make a fool of himself. He seems to want to insult all the straight boy scouts too.
You know, the ones who shout the loudest often have the most to hide. It would be interesting to know what his fantasy life is like eh.
Fischer seems to have an obsessive preoccupation with gay sex, which borders on psychotic. Of course, most Fundamentalists seem to share the same trait.
Of course, the man is nothing more than another Elmer Gantry, full of shuck and jive and his only interest is how much money he can rake in, peddling his hellfire and brimstone crap.
Should the time come when he finds himself standing at those pearly gates, he'll be sadly disappointed that his name doesn't appear anywhere on the A list.
