The present invention relates to needle assemblies designed for use with attachers which dispense fasteners for attaching tags and the like to articles such as clothing or other soft goods. The fasteners are of the well known stretched plastic type which are made of polyporpylene or nylon and consist of a T-bar and an enlarged paddle end connected together by a thin flexible filament. Such fasteners are commercially available from a number of different sources, including Dennison Manufacturing Company of Framingham, Mass. and Texpak, Inc. of New York, NY.
Fasteners of this type are molded and sold in assemblies. In one style, the assemblies consist of clips of fifty or one hundred fasteners connected in parallel, along a runner bar. In a second type, the fasteners are connected in a continuous strip. The ends of adjacent T-bars and the edges of adjacent paddle ends are respectively connected together by bridge or connecting elements.
Each style fastener is dispensed by attachers of different design. Examples of the types of attachers which are designed to dispense attachments of the first style are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,103,666 to Arnold Bone, dated Sept. 16, 1963 and entitled "TAG ATTACHING APPARATUS" and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,733,657 to Gordon Lankton, dated May 22, 1973 and entitled "ASSEMBLY OF ATTACHMENTS AND METHOD OF MANIPULATING THE SAME". An attacher for dispensing the second style of fasteners is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,288,017 to David Russell, dated Sept. 8, 1981 and entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING FASTENERS".
One feature that all types of attachers have in common is that they all utilize a hollow needle assembly mounted at the forward end of the attacher through which the T-bars of the fasteners are dispensed. The needle assemblies commonly have a cylindrical base designed to be removably mounted in a recess in the attacher and a metal shank which extends forward of the attacher and terminates in a sharp tip.
The operator places a tag on the surface of the garment, at the position whether the tag is to be affixed. The attacher is then manipulated such that the tip of the needle penetrates the tag and the garment. Actuating the attacher then causes the T-bar of fastener to travel through a channel in the needle and to be dispensed such that it will be anchored on the opposite side of the garment. The enlarged panel end of the attachment prevents the tag or garment from being removed from the filament.
Since the fasteners are loaded into the attachers in a clip or a roll, each fastener must be separated from the adjacent fasteners, prior to being dispensed. This operation is achieved through the use of a knife or severing edge which may be a part of the needle itself, located at the rear of the base, or may be a blade separately mounted within the attacher.
A serious problem commonly encountered when working with attachers of the second type, which require severing of the connecting elements between adjacent T-bars, is that of the failure of the T-bar to be released from the push rod of the attacher as it completes the path of travel through the channel of the needle. This occurs because a portion of the connecting element remains on the fastener, at the trailing end of the T-bar, after the T-bar is severed from the adjacent T-bar. As the T-bar is pushed through the channel in the needle assembly by the attacher push rod, the connecting element may lodge between the push rod and the surface of the channel wall, causing it to become deformed and adhere to the tip of the push rod. This often results in the T-bar failing to release the push rod and hence failing to be dispensed from the needle.
When the trigger actuator of the gun is released and the pusher rod retracts into the gun, the lodged section of the connector element remains affixed to the push rod and the T-bar of the fastener is pulled back into the needle. This prevents the fastener from becoming secured properly to the garment. While this problem is bothersome to the operator when garments are tagged manually, it becomes extremely serious when fastening guns are used in automated attaching equipment such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,235,161 issued to Steven Kunreuther dated Nov. 25, 1980 and entitled AUTOMATIC TAG ATTACHING APPARATUS.
Manufacturers of fastening equipment have been aware of this problem for some time. They have attempted to alleviate the problem by redesigning the molds which manufacture the fasteners and by changing the shape of the push rod. Both methods are costly and thus far have not solved the problem. The present invention is designed to eliminate the problem.
The present invention may be used in needle assemblies which are manufactured by milling or by stamping. It is applicable to needles which are of the single piece steel construction as well as those which have a plastic base. It is useable on needles which have a built-in knife edge and those which do not.
Conventional needle designs can be modified in accordance with the present invention to produce improved needles without substantial additional expense. Further, only conventional manufacturing equipment is required in order to fabricate a needle assembly with the structure of the present invention.
It is, therefore, a prime object of the present invention to provide an improved needle assembly which prevents failure of a T-bar to be released from the needle, because the connecting element has deformed and adheres to the push rod.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved needle assembly which can be manufactured without substantially increasing the cost of the needle assembly.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved needle assembly which can be manufactured on conventional milling and stamping equipment.
In accordance with the present invention, a needle assembly is provided for use with an attacher of the type adapted to dispense fasteners having a T-bar connected to a thin flexible filament. The attacher includes a rod designed to push the T-bar of the fastener through the needle assembly. The needle assembly includes a shank with a tip portion at the forward end thereof and a base affixed to the other end of which is adapted to be mounted in the attacher. The base and shank include a channel through which the T-bar of the fastener moves as it is pushed by the push rod and a slit through which the filament extends. The improvement comprises a recess in the shank, along the channel, for providing additional clearance adjacent the push rod.
The recess is located at a position along the axis of the needle proximate the forward position of the push rod and at a circumfrential position in the shank aligned with the location of the connecting element. In fasteners operated through the unit described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,288,017 the circumfrential position is approximately perpendicular to the plane intersecting the shank and passing through the slit.
The T-bars of adjacent filaments are connected by elements. The recess is large enough to receive a substantial portion of the connecting element therein. However, the slot must be small enough so that the T-bar cannot enter it.
Preferably, the recess comprises a slot. It also preferably is elongated along the channel.
The forward tip of the push rod is displaceable between a forward position within the assembly and a rear position behind the needle assembly. The recess preferably extends from a point along the channel proximate the forward position of the push rod tip toward the base of the needle assembly. The recess extends from that point towards the base a distance approximately one-half the length of the T-bar of the fastener.
To these and such other objects which may hereinafter appear, the present invention relates to an improved needle assembly as descirbed in the following specification and recited in the annexed claims, taken together with the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like parts and in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the continuous strip style fasteners of the type dispensed by an attacher designed to employ the improved needle assembly;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged isometric view of the T-bar of one of the fasteners illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan partially cut away view of the forward portion of an attacher designed to dispense attachments of the type illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is an exploded isometric view of a fastener and the needle assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view of the needle assembly of the present invention showing the ejector rod pushing the T-bar of a fastener through the shank;
FIG. 6 is a greatly enlarged cross-sectional view taken along lines 6-6 of FIG. 5, showing the needle assembly of the present invention with an attachment therein.
FIG. 1 illustrates the continuous strip fasteners or attachments of the type designed for use in an attacher which may include the improved needle assembly of the present invention. Each of the fasteners includes a T-bar 10 and enlarged paddle end 12 connected by a thin flexible filament 14. The fasteners are ejection molded and composed of plastic such as a polypropylene or nylon. The filaments are stretched to enhance their strength and flexibility. The fasteners are molded in a continuous strip. Adjacent T-bars are connected by elements 16 (see FIG. 2) and adjacent paddle end edges are connected by elements 18 to form the strip. Element 18 causes no feed problems in this or other guns since it does not feed through the attacher. The paddles separate automatically as the attacher is moved away from the garment.
The fasteners are would into a coil (not shown) and mounted on the attacher. They are then dispensed onto a revolving feed wheel 20, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The forward most fastener T-bar is indexed about wheel 20 to a position in alignment with the rear of the bore or channel 22 of the needle assembly, generally disignated A. Wheel 20 has notches about its periphery for receiving the fasteners filaments 14 and advancing them in an arcuate path to a position adjacent the needle assembly A. Wheel 20 is spaced from the inner wall of the attacher housing to define a passageway 24 for receiving and guiding the T-bars 10 as the wheel 20 rotates. The attacher housing is structured to aid in restraining the T-bars for travel through the provided passageway 24.
A projecting tab 28 is provided in the housing, in the vertical plane of wheel 20, forming an extension of the passageway 24 about the wheel 20 to guide in the T-bars 10 during rotation. Tab 28 has a curved upper surface 29 configured to guide the filament 14 projecting from the wheel 20 as the T-bar 10 is rotated into alignment with needle A.
After the T-bar is aligned with the needle channel or bore 22, a plunger or push rod 30 (not visible in FIG. 3) is brought forward to contact the free rear end of the aligned T-bar 10 to push it through the hollow needle bore 22, simultaneously breaking or cutting the connector element 16 at severing means 32. The push rod 30 drives the T-bar 10 of the fastener through the needle bore 22. It is necessary that the bore 22 have a diameter only slightly larger than the diameter of the T-bar so that lateral movement of the T-bar is prevented. Otherwise, the T-bar can lodge within the bore as it is being pushed by the push rod 30 and cause a jam.
After the T-bar 10 is severed from the adjacent T-bar 10, the connecting element 16 remains therein (see FIG. 4). The advancing tip of the push rod 30 is substantially coaxial with the end of the T-bar 10. As the push rod 30 advances, element 16 may be cammed radially outwardly and may wedge in the very small space between the push rod 30 and the wall of the bore 22 of the needle. In this case, the element may become elongated and stretched as the T-bar moves forward. As this occurs, element 16 becomes deformed, conforming to the contours of the push rod surface. At the end of the path of travel of the push rod, the deformed element does not release from the tip of the rod. Thus, the fastener is not dispensed.
The needle assembly includes a base 36 designed to be received in the attacher and a shank 38 having a sharpened tip 40 at its forward end. The needle may be formed by milling or stamping and may have a base 36 made of metal or plastic. The channel or bore 22 formed in the base 36 and the shank 38 is formed so it is just large enough to permit the T-bar 10 of a fastener to travel without substantial lateral movement. A slit 42 within the base 36 and shank 38 is provided to permit the filament 14 of the fastener to extend out of the needle assembly as the T-bar 10 passes through the bore 22. On the top of the base 36 is a recess 44 which cooperates with a correspondently shaped pin 46 in the attacher to engage the needle and secure same within the attacher.
The needle assembly of the present invention differs from a conventional needle assembly in that the shank 38 is provided with a recess, preferably in the form of a slot 50. As shown in FIG. 6, which is a cross-sectional view of the shank, slot 50 is located at a circumfrential position, along channel 22, substantially perpendicular to the plane (illustrated by dashed line 52) which intersects the shank 38 and passes through slit 42. Slot 50 is located in this circumfrential position in order to align with the position of element 16. If a different design fastener were used, and element 16 were in a different position on the T-bar the slot would have to be relocated to a different circumfrential position so as to be in alignment with the new location of element. Slot 50 must be large enough so that a substantial portion of element 16 can be received therein, providing enough room for the element to substantially recover its pre-deformation shape and release the push rod top. However, slot 50 is not wide enough to receive the T-bar end therein and therefore cause a jam. Slot 50 is elongated in the direction of the channel or bore 22.
FIG. 5 shows the needle of the present invention with the push rod 30 at its forwardmost position. As illustrated, the leading edge of slot 50 is preferably located along the axis of the shank 38 at a point just forward of the forwardmost position of rod 30. The slot extends rearwardly towards base 36 a distance approximately equal to one-half of the length of T-bar 10.
It should be appreciated that different attachers have different length push rods and push rods with different forward positions. FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred axial position of slot 50. However, other axial positions and/or sizes for the slot may be required for different attachers.
The recess or slot 50 provides clearance within the bore 22 of the shank 38 to accommodate the connection element 16, as the T-bar approaches the end of the needle. Even if element 16 has wedged along side of the push rod 30, becoming deformed and adhering to the end of the push rod, the T-bar will release from the needle without impediment because of this clearance.
Recess or slot 50 can be formed in the wall of the shank 38 before the shank is formed into its U-shape cross section. This can be accomplished by an additional milling operation or, if the needle is stamped, the stamp can be provided with an additional protrusion so as to form the recess or slot. Thus, conventional techniques are all that is necessary to form same does not add significantly to the overall cost of the finished product.
It will now be appreciated that the present invention relates to a needle assembly which eliminates the problem of T-bars which fail to release from the push rod inherent in continuous strip type fastener attachers where the ends of adjacent T-bars are connected by elements which remain after the fasteners are severed. In particular, the present invention includes a needle assembly with a shank having a recess or slot adjacent the bore which accommodates a connecting element should it become deformed by wedging between the push rod and channel wall and fail to be dispensed.
While only a single preferred embodiment of the presnet invention has been disclosed for purposes of illustration, it is obvious that any variations and modifications could be made thereto. It is intended to cover all of these variations and modifications which fall within the scope of the presentation as defined by the following claims:

The reporter is asking very very difficult questions, and the answers he got from ONP are not completely verifying. What's really interesting about this report is that the Chinese are focusing on this as a tax evasion issue and not so much from the perspective of a stock fraud.So, for example, the reporter in that article goes to the local tax authority and finds discrepancies between what ONP reports to investors and to tax authorities.ONP explains to the reporter that some of its income is coming from facilities it doesn't own. The details of that are not clear, but it seems strange.The reporter says "But our reporter in Beijing, under the Bureau of Enterprise Trade and Industry Information Network, made a query and the name or names containing "Oriental Paper" field in the book business does not exist. There are no qualified companies with the legal representative registered to the name "Liu Zhenyong" opening businesses."You have to love the free press, even in a communist country. There is no smoking gun in the article, but the reporter is repeatedly making the point that the facts don't add up in their current form. And you very much get the feeling that they are going to be bulldogs and now come at ONP from the Chinese side with additional questions and articles. Call that article Round One for the Chinese press.I guess one outcome to all of this would be that they were honest to investors and dishonest to Chinese tax collectors. They clearly aren't enjoying the attention.
Tax fraud is much better than business fraud.If ONP is a legitimate company thatjust avoids taxes .. it should go up after paying some penalty.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.(1) A mom and pop would have a hard time getting on to the exchange since 75% of Chinese companies that try to via reverse mergers fail. This makes it unlikely it is a mom and pop. (2) If they were cooking the books to multiple amounts of what their real profits were, and registered that with the government, the amount of taxes would destroy a mom and pop business. This being the case, it seems they have been underreporting to avoid taxes.
I am not sure what to get from this. But it is pretty certain that ONP was doing some tax evasion accounting, which seems to be the source of any financial discrepancies for the stock fraud. It is fairly common practice, but that doesn't excuse it.Now all the question is whether they confirm that 1) It is tax evasion 2) Stock fraud 3) Both. I am more on the side that they have the production capacity, and some of their net profit is high due to evading the tax man. Changing my sentiments to hold.
Glad to see that was someone else's take on those Chinese articles. They were avoiding the taxman in Bejing. Don't think it's an unusual way to do business over there from following paper trails on some Asian stocks. Don't know if the Chinese authorities will do much in a 'legal' sense as I think a good part of China, this is business as usual. I guess when that guy (sorry don't know his name, but enjoy him), from wsmco said it's like the old wild west, it is. Necessity is the mother of invention, certainly applies. I kind of summed it up in my own head after reading a number of reports, that when you see the pr's coming from Asian companies, it's not what is, but what they hope it will be in 10 years time. I guess if you went back in history to our own ancestors, you'd find many similarities.

The 16-year-old girl, whose rape and subsequent death triggered protests in West Bengal last week, was raped eight times in two hours by six youths on the night of October 25 before she fell unconscious, according to the chargesheet submitted to a Barasat court by investigators. The assault in Madhyamgram, North 24 Parganas, was the first time the girl was gangraped.
After the assault, the girl was taken to the house of a local but as she was unconscious the assailants dumped her in an open field in a nearby mango orchard, the chargesheet, submitted in court on December 17, said. The girl was found by locals who took her home only the next morning.
According to the girl's family, she was allegedly abducted and gangraped a second time on October 26 when the family was returning from the Madhyamgram police station after lodging a police complaint. The family said the girl was snatched from them near Patuli Humaipur Masjid by the assailants, who abused and threatened them for lodging the police complaint. They took away the girl and gangraped her again. Police are yet to submit the chargesheet in the second case.
Top police sources said they have not yet submitted the second chargesheet as they were not certain if the girl was gangraped the second time. "We are investigating into the matter," said a senior police official, who did not want to be named.
The case has been transferred to the sessions court from the CJM court. The first hearing in the case has been scheduled on January 6, said public prosecutor Bikash Ranjan Dey.
The victim's family told The Sunday Express that police were trying to downplay the second incident. The original FIR in the second case does not mention rape charges.

As the Crow Flies: A Walt Longmire Mystery (Walt Longmire Mysteries) (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Craig Johnson
Work details
As the Crow Flies by Craig Johnson (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Walt's down from the mountain and the weather has thankfully turned toward spring. As he prepares for his daughter Cady's wedding Walt is drawn into investigating a suspicious death on the Crow reservation in Montana when a woman falls to her death in front of him and Henry Standing Bear. Along the way, Walt gives "sheriff lessons" to a headstrong Indian woman who's recently been named the tribal chief of police. I really enjoyed the mystery in this one, and the characters are always fun to spend time with.
As the story opens, Walt is feeling rather harassed as the planning for Cady's wedding has hit a major snag - the venue chosen has become unavailable. While Henry and Walt are trying to find another suitable location on the Rez they witness a woman fall to her death. Accident? Suicide? Murder? Although out of his jurisdiction, Walt becomes involved in the investigation anyway as the new Tribal Police Chief is out of her depth and finally requests help. Another interesting episode in Walt's life and a new character in Lolo Long.
Walt Longmire and his best friend, Henry Standing Bear, are on the Reservation looking at a potential site for Walt's daughter, Cady's, wedding when they see someone fall to their death. Walt is already way behind schedule with his assigned tasks for Cady's wedding, and a suspicious death isn't going to help. Although Walt is out of his jurisdiction, the new and inexperienced chief of the tribal police grudgingly accepts his help with the investigation. Walt will be in big trouble with Cady if the case isn't wrapped up in plenty of time for the wedding.
I loved the Reservation setting for this series installment. Henry Standing Bear is one of my favorite characters, and I was glad to see so much of him in this book. I love that Walt and Henry know each other so well that they each know that the other has his back without a need for verbal communication. Another of my favorite characters, Lonnie Little Bird, makes an appearance in this book. Um hmm, yes, it is so. I am not a fan of the on-again-off-again romance between Walt and his deputy, Vic Moretti, and I didn't miss her in this one. She spent most of the book at a training seminar in Omaha. Unfortunately, the tribal police chief's vocabulary is almost as colorful as Vic's, so there wasn't a noticeable decrease in profanity in Vic's absence.
I do wish that Craig Johnson would come up with names that aren't so similar. I had a hard time keeping track of Lolo (tribal police chief), Lola (Henry's Thunderbird), and Lena, (Cady's future mother-in-law and Vic's mother).
This book might work alright as a stand-alone, but it would work better if read in order. Walt's personal life is as important as his job, and his relationships with secondary characters develop over the course of the series. There are references to events from the earlier books in the series, although I didn't notice any glaring spoilers.
Every time I pick up a book in the Walt Longmire series, I'm transported across the country and into the story. It's like visiting close friends and participating in a murder investigation without leaving home. The story is always exciting and fun, yet I'm guaranteed a tug on the heart strings. In this installment, Walt and Henry are search for an alternative wedding venue for Cady after a tribal workshop takes over her preferred destination. While checking out an area at the base of Painted Warrior Cliffs, a body falls from above and Walt is reluctantly drawn into yet another murder investigation.
This installment had all the red herrings, twists, and exceptional writing I've come to expect and appreciate from Craig Johnson. His characters are never boring. The newest edition to the pack is Chief Lolo Long, a former military medic with a big attitude and very few law-enforcement or people skills. I have a demented wish to see Lolo and Vic alone in the same room...maybe in the next book. They are both tough women with no verbal filter, but I can't help it. I like both of them. I'm constantly amazed that Johnson comes up with completely fresh ideas in each of his books, providing a completely new adventure for the reader. I cannot recommend this series high enough!
"I thought about how this was not how it was supposed to end, with her providing cab service for the Feds and me walking away. In a perfect cinematic world, we would've captured the bad guys in spectacular fashion with explosions, car chases, and a parting kiss. She would've been played by Ava Gardner, and I would've been played by Robert Taylor."
The irony...
Great book, although I guessed the whodunnit correctly, which is good of me, but I like to be surprised. I missed Vic, I hope she is has a larger part in the next book.

The Panama Papers reveal the real face of capitalism, again
Posted by John, April 5th, 2016 - under Tax, Tax avoidance, Tax evasion, Tax havens, Tax the rich.
Comments: 5
We could tax the rich to fund better services. None of the parties of neoliberalism – the Liberals and Nationals and the Labor Party – are going to really do that. At best they will offer mickey mouse changes as part of a smokescreen to give the impression of doing something without actually doing anything major to upset the rich and powerful, the capitalists, whose system drives them to avoid tax and hide their affairs in secrecy jurisdictions.
Now I know none of this tax the rich stuff will in reality get on the agenda willingly of the Labor Party. The answer is that when the current or future governments attack funding for workers or the poor, attack public schools, public hospitals and public universities, the fightback against those attacks has the potential, among other potentialities, to challenge the ruling class and its systemic tax avoidance and secrecy. To tax the rich build the fight against austerity.
Mastercard, interest rates and tax

So it appears MasterCard gets a lot of revenue from Australia and yet pays little tax here. It screws us with high credit card interest rates and screws us again by not paying much tax here. Shame on MasterCard and shame on our politicians for not addressing the high credit card interest rates or the tax avoidance.
Memo to the Australian Tax Office: You offshoring jobs is the same as business offshoring profits

Saving money, the driver for cutting the ATO staff by 20%, is also the driver of big business tax avoidance. Business tax avoidance is systemic. It requires a systemic response, not Tax Office staff cuts.

Blind Channel Estimation for OFDM Systems Without Cyclic Prex
A subspace method is proposed for blind channel estimation in Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems over time-dispersive channel. By removing the Cyclic Prefix (CP) and training sequence, the proposed method is spectral efficient. With high data efficiency, the proposed algorithm is able to identify the channels using very few received OFDM data blocks which makes it possible candidate for wideband communication scenarios where the channel is time-invariant for only a few OFDM symbols. Computer simulations demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm over existing subspace-based methods.

You know, you spend your childhood watching TV, assuming that a some point in the future everything you see there will one day happen to you: that you too will win a Formula One race, hop a train, foil a group of terrorists, tell someone 'Give me the gun,' etc. Then you start secondary school and suddenly everyone's asking you about your career plans and your long-term goals, and by goals they don'e mean the kind you are planning to score in the FA Cup. Gradually the awful truth dawns on you: that Santa Claus was just the tip of the iceberg — that your future will not be the rollercoaster ride you'd imagined, that the world occupied by your parents, the world of washing the dishes, going to the dentist, weekend trips to the DIY superstore to buy floor tiles is actually largely what people mean when they speak of 'life.' Now, with every day that passes, another door seems to close, the one marked PROFESSIONAL STUNTMAN or FIGHT EVIL ROBOT, until the weeks go by and the doors — GET BITTEN BY SNAKE, SAVE WORLD FROM ASTEROID, DISMANTLE BOMB WITH SECONDS TO SPARE — keep closing, you begin to hear the sound as a good thing, and start closing some yourself, even ones that didn't necessarily need to be closed . . .

Could Falling Into a Gorilla Exhibit Happen to Anyone?2 Jun 2016 / Paul Epps
I hope our boy appreciates that his mom and I never let him fall into a gorilla enclosure. He's 22 now. Anything he falls into going forward is on him.
I'm not in the "could have happened to anyone" camp on this. The Cincinnati Zoo has more than 1.2 million visitors per year. Out of tens of millions of visitors, only one has fallen into the gorilla exhibit.
A 1 in 10 million occurrence doesn't fall under the "could have happened to anyone" umbrella in my opinion.
The State of Motherhood in America6 May 2016 / Paul Epps
I'm in an office this morning where a TV is tuned to Good Morning, America . . . it's Mothers Day weekend and a woman is being honored because she has children, who are now grown, and she prioritized the children in her life and made sacrifices for them.
That's where we are in the 21st century — a mother who centers her life around her children is a national phenomenon.

Parents Use "Naturopathic" Remedies to Treat Toddler, Who Dies11 Mar 2016 / Paul Epps
A southern Alberta couple accused of allowing their meningitis-infected toddler to die four years ago tried home remedies such as olive leaf extract and whey protein rather than take him to a doctor, a Lethbridge jury heard Monday.
David Stephan, 32, and his wife Collet Stephan, 35, have pleaded not guilty to failing to provide the necessaries of life for 19-month-old Ezekiel, who died in March 2012.
First point: If the name "Ezekiel" shows up on a birth certificate, alert the local authorities to be on the lookout for additional crazy behavior in the future.
In a bid to boost his immune system, the couple gave the boy — who was lethargic and becoming stiff — various home remedies, such as water with maple syrup, juice with frozen berries and finally a mixture of apple cider vinegar, horse radish root, hot peppers, mashed onion, garlic and ginger root as his condition deteriorated.
The Stephans run a nutritional supplements company called Truehope Nutritional Support Inc., which distributes a product called Empowerplus. They also tried treating Ezekiel with Empowerplus.
The Stephans have said that they prefer "naturopathic" remedies because of their family's "negative experiences" with the medical system. Now that they've also had a "negative experience" with naturopathic remedies, I'm thinking it's a good opportunity to reassess their position.
The family has posted on social media that they feel they are being unfairly persecuted and that their approach to health should be respected.
If your son dies because you refused to take him to a doctor even though you knew he was sick, then I'd say that any persecution of you is both fair and appropriate.
As for respecting your "approach to health," that would require ignoring the fact that your approach to health resulted in the probably unnecessary death of a 19-month-old child. That's a pretty strong argument against your approach to health.
Remember folks, there's not such thing as "alternative" medicine. There's "medicine" and there's "things that have not been proven to work," like curing meningitis with maple syrup.
Harper Lee, 1926-201625 Feb 2016 / Paul Epps
28 Sep 2008
I took my son to the bookstore to buy To Kill a Mockingbird for his English class. They had two paperback editions available — one with a fancy binding for $15.95 and another one for three dollars less.
I pulled the cheaper one off the shelf and my son asked, "Why are we getting that one?"
I said, "Because it's three dollars less for the same book."
"I like the other cover better," he said.
"Gimme three dollars."
23 Oct 2008
FATHER: Would you take out the trash please?
SON: Are you KIDDING?! I'm doing homework! I'll take out the trash if you read To Kill a Mockingbird and tell me what each chapter is about.
FATHER: I've read To Kill a Mockingbird. You want to know what it's about? 'Racism is Bad.' Now take out the garbage.
RIP Harper Lee
EppsNet Book Reviews: Mindset by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.22 Dec 2015 / Paul Epps
Carol Dweck's research is part of a tradition in psychology that shows the power of people's beliefs. These may be beliefs that we're aware of or unaware of but they strongly affect what we want and whether we succeed in getting it. This tradition also shows how changing people's beliefs can have profound effects.
Dweck's insight into fixed mindset (bad) vs. growth mindset (good) is powerful but there's really not enough to it to sustain a book-length exposition without a lot of repetition and illustrational anecdotes, the problem with which is 1) they tend to be overly simple tales of triumph and failure with clearly identified causes; and 2) they ignore the inevitability of regression.
For example, two of the people Dweck identifies as exemplars of the growth mindset are Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez. Mindset was published in 2006, after which Woods's career imploded in the wake of extramarital affairs with 100 or so women, and Rodriguez was suspended from baseball for cheating.
Among the companies singled out as possessing a growth mindset is Circuit City, which announced in January 2009 that it was going out of business.
Don't get me wrong here, I think Dweck's work is insightful and illuminating, I just don't think it works well as a book. For a shorter introduction, try, for example, "The Secret to Raising Smart Kids," recently published in Scientific American.
Moving Back12 Dec 2015 / Paul Epps
Our boy was home recently for a visit . . . he lives in San Francisco now . . . we were driving to dinner one night and his mom, from the back seat, said to him, "You can move back if you want to."
"I don't think I would move back to Irvine," the boy said matter-of-factly.
"I meant you can move the seat back. I have plenty of room back here."
Throwback Cousin Photos14 Nov 2015 / Paul Epps
My wife found a photo this weekend of our son and his cousin Kao. Casey was 5 years old in this photo and Kao was 11. She lives in Thailand but was visiting us in La Verne.
I don't remember this photo. I like it because I don't remember the overall tenor of Kao's visit being this pleasant.
Casey had never had to share his mom's attention and he wasn't happy about it, especially since she talked with Kao in a foreign language that he didn't understand.
Here's what they look like now (Kao on the left, another cousin, Tammy, on the right):
I Am Identified as the Worst Father of All Time7 Nov 2015 / Paul Epps
I noticed a significant uptick in traffic to EppsNet in the past week . . . a check of the referrer logs indicates that it's coming from Reddit, specifically from a series of posts on the hapas subreddit (here's an example) identifying me as the worst father of all time and an overall despicable human being.
(If you're as much in the dark as I was about what a "hapa" is, it's a person of partial Asian or Pacific Islander descent. My son, for example, would be a "hapa," which is how the hapas subreddit took an interest in EppsNet.)
Ironically, the posts cited on Reddit as evidence of my awfulness are — to me, anyway — either pretty obviously not intended to be taken at face value (some are attributed to an imaginary author named Hostile Witness, to make it even more obvious), or completely on point, or both.
Examples include:
And of course Why Asian Girls Like White Guys and Why Asian Girls Like White Guys II, which are among the most popular posts on the site, right behind The Blog of Anne Frank.
I'll say this about my results as a parent: Unlike the population of the hapas subreddit, my son is not a whiny twit with no sense of irony, humor or perspective. He doesn't invent labels for himself and seek out discrimination where there is none.
That being said, thanks for visiting, hapas, and additional thanks to the 40 or so of you who also picked up a copy of my book while you were here.

Another Thing I Like About Donald Trump18 Sep 2015 / Paul Epps
I like to make sweeping judgments about people based on my assessment of how their kids turned out. A lot of kids from famous families are train wrecks. Trump's kids, while a little odd-looking in my opinion (Ivanka excepted), are not. Kudos to Mr. Trump and his wives.

Lose the Pastels and the Mopey Attitude9 Jul 2015 / Hostile Witness
- Americans love gay people. Since this photo has been posted, it has 60,000 shares, 60,000 comments (including presidential candidates) and 640,000 (that's six hundred and forty thousand) likes. In the short time since the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling there's been a national competition to see who can demonstrate the most elation about it. (OK, if you're gay, a few bad apples will dislike you based on that alone but that's true if you're identifiable as a member of any group, which we all are.)
- I'm afraid about the future. I'm afraid people won't like me. Leave out the part about being homosexual and you could post a picture of anyone. The percentage of Americans who can't get through the day without medication — I'm including self-medication via alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, food, etc. — is a lot closer to 100 than it is to zero. Nobody's life is a fairy tale, kid.
- How old is this boy? He looks about 10. Is he really old enough to have fully sussed out his own sexuality? Maybe he is but it seems far from certain.
- Find some role models, like Ellen and that Doogie Howser kid. Lose the pastels and the mopey attitude. Dress like a man and keep it peppy.

Thoughts in the Shower19 May 2015 / Paul Epps
If I just stay in here and never come out, maybe the graduation won't happen and he'll still be my little boy . . .
Now What?15 May 2015 / Paul Epps
We're in Berkeley for Casey's graduation tomorrow . . . we got a text from him earlier this week saying "I just took my last two college exams." Thus ends a journey that began 17 years ago on the first day of kindergarten, which I feel like I remember too vividly for it to have been 17 years ago, but it was.
Now what? I don't mean for him . . . he's got a job lined up in San Francisco. I mean for me. I've had the milestone birthdays — the ones where your age ends in zero — that seem to depress a lot of people . . . they didn't bother me at all. But my boy becoming an independent person in the world is really disorienting me . . .
Do We Still Have to Lean In?5 May 2015 / Paul Epps
Sheryl [Sandberg] has made her husband, Dave, the role model for the perfect husband. She has said many times that the most important factor in her success was the husband she chose. And as late a week ago, she was saying that men need to do more, they are not doing enough, they need to take more responsibility. And, again, she held up her husband as an example. . . .
So then, I would like to know why was he on vacation in Mexico without Sheryl and without the kids? What was it a vacation from? Who was he with?
Why was Sheryl in DC instead of going to get the body? Why was Sheryl in DC instead of home with her kids? Why does Dave take a vacation when Sheryl is scheduled to be gone?
I wouldn't ask so many questions except that Sheryl keeps telling me to lean in, but she doesn't tell me how she does it. I ended up spending my 401K on household help, scaling back my career, and taking my kids on business trips that were magical at first and a bore thereafter. . . .
She tells me she and her husband try to make sure one of them is home with the kids, but it's not what we have seen in the last five days. She doesn't tell us if she has nannies. She doesn't tell us how often she is away from her kids. All she tells us is that leaning in depends on her husband.
So can she lean in now? Can you lean in if you don't have the perfect husband? What if it's too late to get the perfect husband? She doesn't address that, but maybe she will now. I have a feeling that the spokesperson for high-flying careers is going to get a lot more informative and helpful now that she's a single mom. All the money in the world can't buy a substitute for a parent showing up to kiss a skinned knee.

Paul Fetler: Violin Concerto No. 2; Capriccio; 3 Poems by Walt Whitman based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
There is much to like in this Naxos American Classics recording featuring the music of Paul Fetler, which is the first devoted exclusively to his work. Included on this disc are his Violin Concerto No. 2, Capriccio, and Three Poems by Walt Whitman. The concerto for me is the highlight, showcasing his elegant and urgent lyricism throughout all three movements. Fetler's melodies are full of yearning yet never sound cloying, and are wonderfully embroidered with impressionistic sound colors and accents. Moreover, Fetler maintains perfect balance between the violin and orchestral passages, never letting the latter overwhelm the former, even during the overtly dramatic and propulsive third movement. The composer's Capriccio is much lighter in tone, marked by balletic rhythms and spirited melodies, and evokes Debussy in its shimmering atmospheres. I'm somewhat less enamored of the Three Poems by Walt Whitman. That's no knock on Fetler's evocative musical settings, which effectively complement the emotional and thematic tenor of Whitman's verse (narrated by the poet Thomas H. Blaske). As much as I like Whitman's poetry, and as much as I appreciate Fetler's musical underscore, I've never warmed to the combination of spoken poetry and classical music, which to my ear comes off as a little stiff and portentous. (That kind of thing seems to work much better with jazz-Jean Shepherd's improvised narration on Charles Mingus' "The Clown," for example.) All in all, however, this recording is a fine introduction to a composer long deserving of greater recognition.

Yea-I love my 35 and 60...even the 18-55 rocks!
I was thinking about the panorama mode. I ve played a little with it once in the past...
Looks like the 14 mm is very nice ...just choking on the cost right now....the 10-24 wont be available for this trip but what do you think it will retail for when it comes out? Might be better to wait for that lens rather than the 14?

Banks Keep Failing
For small banks around the country, the crisis isn't over.
Two more banks failed last week, bringing this year's total to 127 — on pace for this to be the worst year since the early 1990s.
The wave of failures, closely linked to the real estate boom and bust, is likely to continue for a while. The FDIC recently said there are 829 "problem banks" in the U.S., the most since 1993.
Both the failed banks and the "problem banks" are largely small, community institutions in areas hit hard by the bust, an S&P report noted last week.
This morning's WSJ looks a bit more broadly at what the failures mean. Here are a few key points:
- For 94 percent of the banks that failed since 2008, residential or commercial real estate was the largest category of delinquent loans.
- The bank industry has cut 188,000 jobs since 2007, a decline of 8.5 percent.
- The biggest banks are getting bigger. Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo hold 33 percent of all U.S. deposits, up from 21% in 2006.
- In the coming decade, the number of banks could fall to nearly 5,000, as a result of both failures and consolidation.
For more: Last year, Planet Money's Chana Joffe-Walt told the story of what happens when the FDIC takes over a failed bank. Earlier this year, we revisited the bank, the FDIC guy, and the bank workers a year after the closing.
