1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to a substrate conditioning device for an electrophotographic printing machine and, more particularly, concerns a device to apply moisture to cut sheets or web fed material in a full color process printing machine.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In typical multicolor electrophotography, it is desirable to use an architecture which comprises a plurality of image forming stations. One example of the plural image forming station architecture utilizes an image-on-image (IOI) system in which the photoreceptive member is recharged, reimaged and developed for each color separation. This charging, imaging, developing and recharging, reimaging and developing, all followed by transfer to paper, is done in a single revolution of the photoreceptor in so-called single pass machines, while multipass architectures form each color separation with a single charge, image and develop, with separate transfer operations for each color. The single pass architecture offers a potential for high throughput.
In order to fix or fuse electroscopic toner material onto a support member by heat and pressure, it is necessary to apply pressure and elevate the temperature of the toner to a point at which the constituents of the toner material become tacky and coalesce. This action causes the toner to flow to some extent into the fibers or pores of the support medium (typically paper). Thereafter, as the toner material cools, solidification of the toner material occurs, causing the toner material to be bonded firmly to the support member. In both the xerographic as well as the electrographic recording arts, the use of thermal energy and pressure for fixing toner images onto a support member is old and well known.
One approach to heat and pressure fixing of electroscopic toner images onto a support has been to pass the support bearing the toner images between a pair of opposed roller members, at least one of which is internally heated. During operation of a fixing system of this type, the support member to which the toner images are electrostatically adhered is moved through the nip formed between the rolls and thereby heated under pressure. A large quantity of heat is applied to the toner and the copy sheet bearing the toner image. This heat evaporates much of the moisture contained in the sheet. The quantity of heat applied to the front and back sides of the sheet are often not equal. This causes different moisture evaporation from the two sides of the sheet and contributes to sheet curling.
Paper curl is defined as any deviation from it's flat state. In the xerographic process, fusing drives moisture out. When regaining moisture, paper experiences curl due to differential hygroexpansitivity between the paper and toner. The paper expands due to moisture reabsorption, but the toner does not expand, thus developing curl. Paper curl is one of the primary causes for paper handling problems in copying machines. Problems, such as, stubbing, image deletions and improper stacking resulting from copy sheet curl. These problems are more severe for color copies than black and white due to differences in their toner mass area, substrates, and fuser characteristics.
The following disclosures may be relevant to various aspects of the present invention:
Portions of the foregoing disclosures may be briefly summarized as follows:
U.S. Pat. No. 5,264,899 describes a system for adding moisture to a copy sheet. The toner fixation step of electrostatographic reproduction desiccates paper, which may lead to the formation of a wave along the sheet edge. The invention uses a pair of porous rolls defining a nip to transfer additional moisture to the copy sheet as it is passed through the nip. The added moisture prevents edge wave formation.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,434,029 describes an apparatus and method of preventing the curling of a substrate having toner images electrostatically adhered thereto which substrate has been subjected to heat for the purpose of fixing the toner images to the substrate. Simultaneous constraint of the copy substrate and the application of moisture thereto is effected by passing the substrate through the nip formed by two pressure engaged rollers, one of which is utilized for applying the water to the back side of the substrate as the substrate passes through the aforementioned nip.
There remains a need for a system for preventing curl caused by the loss of moisture from a copy sheet during the fixing step of electrostatographic reproduction or printing that is practical for use with electrostatographic machines and is non-subjective in indicating when the correct water thickness is obtained on metering rolls. Ordinarily, the film thickness on a transfer roll is set-up by adjusting the interference between a rubber metering roll and the transfer roll and observing the sheen on the metering roll. A commonly accepted procedure in the industry is to bring the metering roll in contact with the transfer roll. When they just make contact, the surface appearance on the black rubber metering roll changes from a gloss to a matte-like finish. Additional indentation of the rubber metering roll results in the correct water thickness being obtained. Currently, the only way to make this adjustment is by eye, i.e., observe the appearance of the metering roller. This procedure is not acceptable for customer machine set-up or in manufacturing. A more user friendly methodology is required.
Accordingly, there is provided a device for adding controlled amounts of moisture to a transfer roll. The device comprising a transfer roll that mates with a back-up roll to form a nip through which a sheet passes for wetting one side of the sheet. A metering roll mates with the transfer roll and has a portion thereof positioned in a liquid filled sump for liquid to be added to an outside surface thereof. An optical sensor is positioned to detect the type of reflected light from the liquid on the outside surface of the metering roll and gives off a Go/No Go signal when the two rolls are in contact. The correct liquid thickness is obtained on the surface of the metering roll by an additional amount of turns of screws connected to the metering roll.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention there is provided a system for fixing a toner image to a copy sheet in an electrophotographic system so as to avoid the formation of copy sheet curl. The system comprising first and second fusing rollers defining a nip therebetween, at least one of said fusing rollers being heated, wherein the fusing rollers serve to fix a toner image on a copy sheet through the application of heat and pressure to the copy sheet; a conditioning system for receiving a copy sheet from said fusing rollers, comprising; a transfer roll and a back-up roll positioned with respect to each other that they form a nip therebetween when a sheet is present therein; a metering roll that mates with said transfer roll to form a nip therebetween, said metering roll having a portion thereof positioned within a liquid filled sump for liquid to be added to an outside surface thereof; and an optical sensor that detects the type of reflected light from the liquid on the outside surface of the metering roll and gives off a Go/No Go signal indicating contact between said transfer and metering rolls. The desired thickness of liquid on the surface of the metering roll is then obtained by additional movement of said metering roll with respect to said transfer roll.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention there is provided a method for sensing liquid film thickness on a conditioner metering roll. The method comprising the steps of: providing a reservoir of liquid; positioning a black rubber metering roll with respect to the reservoir such that rotation of the metering roll places liquid from the reservoir onto a longitudinal outside surface of the metering roll; positioning a transfer roll having a longitudinal outside surface with respect to the metering roll such that a nip is formed between the rolls; positioning at least one optical sensor adjacent the longitudinal outside surface of the metering roll; and sensing the thickness of liquid on the longitudinal surface of the metering roll with the optical sensor.
Other features of the present invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds and upon reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of a full color image-on-image single pass electrophotographic printing machine utilizing the sheet conditioning device described herein.
FIG. 2 is a side view of a sheet conditioning apparatus including a device for sensing liquid film thickness on a metering roll;
FIG. 3 is a partial end view of the sheet conditioning apparatus of FIG. 2.
This invention relates to an imaging system which is used to produce color output in a single revolution or pass of a photoreceptor belt. It will be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment disclosed. On the contrary, it is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims, including a multiple pass color process system, a single or multiple pass highlight color system and a black and white printing system.
Turning now in general to FIG. 1, the printing machine of the present invention uses a charge retentive surface in the form of an Active Matrix (AMAT) photoreceptor belt 10 supported for movement in the direction indicated by arrow 12, for advancing sequentially through the various xerographic process stations. The belt is entrained about a drive roller 14, idler roller 15, tension roller 16 and fixed roller 18 and the roller 14 is operatively connected to a drive motor 20 for effecting movement of the belt through the xerographic stations.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, a portion of belt 10 passes through charging station A where a corona generating device, indicated generally by the reference numeral 22, charges the photoconductive surface of belt 10 to a relatively high, substantially uniform, preferably negative potential.
Next, the charged portion of photoconductive surface is advanced through an imaging/exposure station B. At imaging/exposure station B, a controller, indicated generally by reference numeral 90, which is manipulated by user interface 91, receives the image signals representing the desired output image and processes these signals to convert them to the various color separations of the image which is transmitted to a laser based output scanning device 24 which causes the charge retentive surface to be discharged in accordance with the output from the scanning device. Preferably the scanning device is a laser Raster Output Scanner (ROS). Alternatively, the ROS could be replaced by other xerographic exposure devices such as LED arrays.
The photoreceptor, which is initially charged to a voltage V0, undergoes dark decay to a level Vddp equal to about -500 volts. When exposed at the exposure station B it is discharged to Vexpose equal to about -50 volts. Thus after exposure, the photoreceptor contains a monopolar voltage profile of high and low voltages, the former corresponding to charged areas and the latter corresponding to discharged or background areas.
At a first development station C which contains black toner 35, developer structure, indicated generally by the reference numeral 42 utilizing a hybrid jumping development (HJD) system, the development roll, better known as the donor roll, is powered by two development fields (potentials across an air gap). The first field is the ac jumping field which is used for toner cloud generation. The second field is the dc development field which is used to control the amount of developed toner mass on the photoreceptor. The toner cloud causes charged toner particles to be attracted to the electrostatic latent image. Appropriate developer biasing is accomplished via a power supply. This type of system is a non-contact type in which only toner particles 35 (black, for example) are attracted to the latent image and there is no mechanical contact between the photoreceptor and a toner delivery device to disturb a previously developed, but unfixed, image.
A corona recharge device 36 having a high output current vs. control surface voltage (I/V) characteristic slope is employed for raising the voltage level of both the toned and untoned areas on the photoreceptor to a substantially uniform level. The recharging device 36 serves to recharge the photoreceptor to a predetermined level.
A second exposure/imaging device 38 which comprises a laser based output structure is utilized for selectively discharging the photoreceptor on toned areas and/or bare areas, pursuant to the image to be developed with the second color toner. At this point, the photoreceptor contains toned and untoned areas at relatively high voltage levels and toned and untoned areas at relatively low voltage levels. These low voltage areas represent image areas which are developed using discharged area development (DAD). To this end, a negatively charged, developer material 40 comprising color toner is employed. The toner, which by way of example may be yellow, is contained in a developer housing structure 42 disposed at a second developer station D and is presented to the latent images on the photoreceptor by way of a second HSD developer system. A power supply (not shown) serves to electrically bias the developer structure to a level effective to develop the discharged image areas with negatively charged yellow toner particles 40.
The above procedure is repeated for a third imager for a third suitable color toner 55, such as, magenta and for a fourth imager and suitable color toner 65, such as, cyan. The exposure control scheme described below may be utilized for these subsequent imaging steps. In this manner a full color composite toner image is developed on the photoreceptor belt.
To the extent to which some toner charge is totally neutralized, or the polarity reversed, thereby causing the composite image developed on the photoreceptor to consist of both positive and negative toner, a negative pre-transfer dicorotron member 50 is provided to condition the toner for effective transfer to a substrate using positive corona discharge.
Subsequent to image development a sheet of support material 52 is moved into contact with the toner images at transfer station G. The sheet of support material is advanced to transfer station G by conventional sheet feeding apparatus, not shown. Preferably, the sheet feeding apparatus includes a feed roll contacting the uppermost sheet of a stack copy sheets in trays 51 and 53. The feed rolls rotate so as to advance the uppermost sheet from stack into a chute which directs the advancing sheet of support material into contact with photoconductive surface of belt 10 in a timed sequence so that the toner powder image developed thereon contacts the advancing sheet of support material at transfer station G.
Transfer station G includes a transfer dicorotron 54 which sprays positive ions onto the backside of sheet 52. This attracts the negatively charged toner powder images from the belt 10 to sheet 52. A detack dicorotron 56 is provided for facilitating stripping of the sheets from the belt 10.
After transfer, the sheet continues to move, in the direction of arrow 58, onto a conveyor (not shown) which advances the sheet to fusing station H. Fusing station H includes a fuser assembly, indicated generally by the reference numeral 60, which permanently affixes the transferred powder image to sheet 52. Preferably, fuser assembly 60 comprises a heated fuser roller 62 and a backup or pressure roller 64. Sheet 52 passes between fuser roller 62 and backup roller 64 with the toner powder image contacting fuser roller 62. In this manner, the toner powder images are permanently affixed to sheet 52. After fusing, a chute, not shown, guides the advancing sheets 52 to sheet moisture replacement system 80 and then to a catch tray, not shown, for subsequent removal from the printing machine by the operator.
After the sheet of support material is separated from photoconductive surface of belt 10, the residual toner particles carried by the non-image areas on the photoconductive surface are removed therefrom. These particles are removed at cleaning station I using a cleaning brush structure contained in a housing 66.
It is believed that the foregoing description is sufficient for the purposes of the present application to illustrate the general operation of a color printing machine.
As shown in FIG. 2, a sheet conditioning apparatus, generally referred to as reference numeral 80, has counter clockwise rotatable transfer roll 81 and counter clockwise rotatable back-up roll 83 positioned to be contacted by a sheet and form a nip therebetween while a sheet is present. Transfer roll 81 is preferably hydrophilic and chrome plated while metering roll 84 is preferably coated with black rubber. Transfer roll 81 and back-up roll 83 are fixed while metering roll 84 that is in nip forming contact with transfer roll 81 is adjustable by conventional means, for example, an adjustment screw mechanism can be used in which the transfer roll bearings are secured in a frame member. Metering roll bearings are mounted in a slotted portion of the same frame member. The metering roll-bearings are free to move toward the transfer roller causing an indentation. An adjustment screw pushes directly on the metering roll bearings to cause the metering roll shaft to move toward the transfer roll. The screw is turned so many degrees and the bearing will move forward a given distance depending on the screw thread. Metering roll 84 rotates clockwise and has a portion thereof situated within an open part of fluid pan 85. Conventional motors (not shown) are connected to the transfer, back-up and metering rolls and are adapted to drive the transfer and back-up rolls in the opposite direction to sheet travel through paper path 89 to thereby apply fluid to a sheet. The wetting agent, in this case water, is distributed to metering roll 84 from pan 85.
In accordance with the present invention, a device 87 which is connected to controller 90, is used to indicate the correct or desired water film thickness on metering roll 84. Device 87 is preferably an optical sensor that includes an input 87' and an output 87". Preferably, two optical sensors 87 are used to indicate water film thickness of metering roll 84 as shown in FIG. 3. The sensors are positioned with respect to the outer surface of metering roll 84 such that the incident angle of light reflects off the metering roll surface. Sensor 87 is conventional and consists of a pulsed infrared light emitting diode 87' and a phototransistor 87".
In use, a light beam from 87' is directed at the surface of the rotating metering roll 84 on the metered side 88. The unmetered side of metering roll 84 is at 86. When the water film is thick, i.e., the metering roll is not touching the transfer roll, the surface of the metering roll 84 is glossy and the light beam is reflected into output 87". When the transfer and metering rolls touch, and the water film is thin, the surface of the metering roll takes on a matte-like appearance, and the light beam scatters after leaving the roll surface. Hence, a minute amount of light would arrive at sensor output 87". As shown in FIG. 3, preferably, two identical sensors 87 are used with one on each side of metering roll 84. An operator (service technician, customer, or manufacturing set-up person) would adjust the interference between the transfer and metering rolls an receive and electrical signal from the sensor. For example, the transfer and metering rolls would start apart and a "low" sensor signal would indicate a glossy surface. The rolls would be brought together with conventional adjustment screws until a "high" signal is obtained indicating a thin film. An optimum water thickness setting can be obtained by turning the adjustment screw an additional number of turns, depending on an adjsutment screw thread, past this setting.
In recapitulation, a conditioner adds a small amount of water to sheets in order to control sheet curl. The conditioner includes a device that indicates when the correct water thickness is obtained on a metering roll. The device uses an optical sensor to detect the type of reflected light from the water surface on the metering roll. With this sensor, the operator of the machine does not have to rely on a subjective set-up procedure, but instead relies on a Go/No Go signal from the sensor to know when the desired water thickness on the outer surface of the metering roll had been reached.
It is, therefore, apparent that there has been provided in accordance with the present invention, a paper conditioning device that fully satisfies the aims and advantages hereinbefore set forth. While this invention has been described in conjunction with a specific embodiment thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.

There are almost 11,000 open call contracts expiring next Friday. If the contracts are in the money, the contract writers have to provide those shares (if the option holder decides to exercise them).
On Friday December 21, potentially 1.1 million shares need be supplied and another 0.45 million short sales to be covered. In essence, shorts need over 1.5 million shares by next Friday. No really surprised why shorts have been so active in the past few days knocking on everyone's door for CYCC shares.
1) Call your brokerage and restrict your shares from being borrowed
2) Put a sell order of ALL your shares with a limit of $20.00+ and GTC (Good till cancelled). This step is very important since it's preventive against short selling.
I've been investing in CYCC for the past 4 years. We all longs have been screwed by shorts so many times. It's payback time! Let's join forces and take the shorts down. Who's with me?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Reelin, this stock has never had lots of shorts, especially when it was below one. Don't blame them for the SP, blame the speculative nature of the company and the lack of confidence in its management. And I'm not at all sure it is not a myth that you can prevent your shares from being lent out by your broker simply by putting a high sell order limit on the stock.
Also not sure you can call a company and request they not allow your shares to be borrowed. I would guess that many brokerage agreements allow for the brokerage to lend shares because "your shares" don't really exist in your name. They are simply an accounting / electronic entry. If you want to prevent your shares from being borrowed, I would guess you would need to have the shares actually in your name and maybe even your possession.
Maybe somebody can verify this with their broker . . but lots of myths floating out there how to prevent shares from being shorted. Besides, shorting lends to liquidity, and a stock like this needs liquidity so that shares can be traded on the electronic market without causing a huge variance in the stock price.
spam monkey.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The bottom line is it doesn't matter if there is shorting here IF you are a long term holder and believe in the product. Everything will work itself out in favor of the longs if the company prevails. If not, we are all going to lose anyway. If you want to trade a stock, I would find one with much more float, making it far easier to get in and out. I've always said that.
Great post reelin and I am following your instructions with my shares. glta.
Sentiment: Hold
DONE Thanks
Thanks to all longs. I think we stopped the shorts. A see a nice doji in the chart and Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) has turned positive. We definitely should see a nice pop by next Friday when the 11,000 call options expire.
As you all can see, we can make a difference. Go CYCC!!!
That sir is another of the reasons I'm not borrowing any of my shares to those criminals. IT IS PAYBACK TIME!. All of the shorts crying denials in panic on this message board must be very worried..
Sentiment: Strong Buy

I've been looking for some new pedals recently and stumbled across Speedplay's Platform/Quill Pedal museum. They've got some amazing specimens, including the Ramsey Swing and the Phil Wood 'CHP' pedal (yes, as in CHiPs). The earliest is from…» Read More »

Barbie Designable Hair extensions and doll pictures hands-onPocket-lint
Do you groan at the thought of your daughter playing with Barbie and her millions of add-ons and accessories come Christmas? What if we said we could give you a reason to be excited about the plastic hot-chick yourself?
Up steps Barbie Designable Hair extensions and Doll, a new spin on the classic model that gives you reason to spend some time in front of your computer. Other than the obvious one, of course.
You see, Barbie Designable Hair extensions and Doll is what the name suggests, a Barbie with hair extensions that you can style to your own designs. But, rather than getting out some felt tips or crayons, Mattel has made the process high tech, allowing you to spend hours in front of your PC or Mac designing, before pressing the print button and seeing your digital work materialise.
Keen to see this in action [we're always thinking of you, dear reader], we fired up our browser and typed in www.barbie.com/designablehair. That takes you a dedicated Flash site that is both colourful and interactive, where you can create your new masterpiece. There is no software to install.
Here, you can set and change the colour, add a pattern or mess around with around 100 different clip art designs. If that sounds limiting then it shouldn't. You can also import your own images, and once you do, resize or rotate them into position. You can also add text.
Once you're done with all that, you then move to a printing preview page where you can test out your creation on screen to see what it looks like either on Barbie, or a picture of yourself you've uploaded.
Our hands-on experience ended with a hair extension with the Pocket-lint logo (of course) and some fun patterns picked from the many on the site.
Everything is simple, everything is drag and drop, and your daughter is going to love it.
Once you've printed the design on to one of the specially designed template pages in the box (you get 15), you can then either opt for your new Barbie (wearing pink leggings, no less) to wear your new design or you can wear it yourself.
Our test subject, 5-year-old Miss Pocket-lint, loved it, although Mrs Pocket-lint wasn't so sure, insisting that it was a bit stiff and needed a bit of a comb first.
With the option to buy more extension template pages early next year, we can see the girls in our life going giddy over designing new extensions for Barbie.

Why did Jose Rodriguez, the former head of the CIA's clandestine service, destroy ninety-two tapes of interrogation sessions in which terrorism suspects were subjected to waterboarding and other torture techniques? On Sunday, Lesley Stahl put the question to him on 60 Minutes, and he provided an answer:
rodriguez: To protect the people who worked for me and who were at those black sites and whose faces were shown on the tape.stahl: Protect them from what?rodriguez: Protect them from Al Qaeda ever getting their hands on these tapes and using them to go after them and their families.
Rodriguez's claims don't stand up. Tapes are released with some regularity by the government, and when they are, the identities of any Americans shown in them are almost always obscured—in fact, U.S. law would generally require that this be so. So his first concern hardly makes sense. His second, that the interrogators would become Al Qaeda targets, is similarly a stretch, not only because their identities would not be disclosed, but because of the clear success of the U.S. campaign against Al Qaeda. The terrorist organization has been decimated; it is now struggling from the margins against extinction. And even if it were in a position to strike, low- or mid-level CIA interrogators would hardly be high on its list of targets.
So why did Rodriguez really send those ninety-two tapes through an industrial-strength shredder? We know that they contained information sought under court order for use in civil and criminal litigations. Their release would probably have resolved questions about whether certain prisoners had been tortured, and about the circumstances under which the prisoners made certain statements. Disclosure would also have resolved questions about which techniques the CIA used and how they were applied. These are hardly abstract concerns—even today, former attorney general Michael Mukasey regularly explains to incredulous audiences that when America waterboards, it is entirely different than the waterboarding of the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, and the Spanish Inquisition. Such claims might not be so easy to repeat if we could actually witness what the United States had done. Clearly Rodriguez didn't want these details to come out.
Rodriguez told 60 Minutes that he thought destroying the tapes was legal. We can dismiss that possibility, too. We only have to think back to the Enron–Arthur Andersen affair of 2001 to 2003 to know how the American criminal-justice system usually deals with persons who consciously destroy evidence sought in pending cases and investigations: criminal convictions, followed, in Enron's case, by prosecutions and the closure of a century-old global firm with 85,000 employees. These events were still fresh in 2004 and 2005, when Rodriguez was fretting over the destruction of the tapes. He would plainly have understood that he could be prosecuted and sent to jail for destroying them.
Indeed, why has Rodriguez not been charged and put on trial? That's a question many are asking as he takes to the airwaves to push the idea that torture works. The only satisfactory answer lies in the doctrine of in pari delicto
Former FBI agent Ali Soufan, receiving the Ridenhour Prize last Wednesday for his book The Black Banners, took direct aim at Rodriguez in his acceptance speech. The tapes were destroyed, he said, because they provided "evidence of [the CIA's] unprofessionalism, and incompetence." By destroying the tapes, Rodriguez gave himself room to fictionalize what happened during those interrogations sessions. He seems now to be using this license liberally—and he's being challenged by those familiar with the CIA's classified records. Dianne Feinstein, the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which is completing a three-year study of the efficacy of the CIA techniques, just issued a press release questioning Rodriguez's truthfulness and suggesting that he was claiming credit for the accomplishments of others. The Committee's report, when it is issued, will likely furnish much more detail on the techniques the CIA used and what these techniques produced. From the descriptions we've heard so far, it appears as though the report will sharply contradict Rodriguez.
The ninety-two tapes contained compelling evidence of criminality. They presented a dire threat to Rodriguez and those of his masters who approved the use of torture. His motivations in shredding them therefore seem clear enough: he was afraid of criminal prosecution. And he still should be.
There is no immediate threat that charges will be brought against Rodriguez and his bosses—not under Barack Obama and Eric Holder. But Rodriguez has plenty of reason to be concerned that such charges will be pressed against him outside of the United States, and eventually here as well. Rodriguez is a thirty-year veteran of the CIA who spent virtually his entire career in Latin America, serving in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and other locations. He happily embraces the dark side; indeed, Latin America was home to some of the blackest of CIA black ops, including assassinations and operational support for regimes that routinely used torture. But he would also have observed what happened to many of the CIA's allies who turned to torture—to generals and admirals who fought the "dirty war" in Argentina and Uruguay, to Pinochet loyalists in Chile, and to Alberto Fujimori in Peru. Each of these regimes left office armored with amnesties and immunities, with official decisions to decline prosecution, and, significantly, with strong public support for the use of torture as a necessary evil in the battle against terrorists. But in the past few years, former heads of state and leading figures in the intelligence communities of each of these countries have been charged, tried, and convicted of crimes that include torture and conspiring to torture.
What happened? Across more than two decades, public opinion steadily turned against those who had used torture. This process was driven by disclosures of photographs and tapes of heinous acts, by the meticulous work of forensic pathologists who gave the victims a voice, by survivors who forcefully recounted their experiences, by journalists who published exposés, and by lawyers who pressed for information to be revealed and who painstakingly assembled facts for lawsuits.
Jose Rodriguez watched all of this happen. He would certainly appreciate the power of these historical precedents and the likelihood that the ninety-two tapes, if released, would come back to haunt him, and quite possibly send him to jail. That, I believe, is why he destroyed them.
During the American campaign against Al Qaeda, FBI agents working with the CIA on the interrogation of a few key suspects began to refer to CIA torture technicians as "the poster boys," because they expected that the torturers would soon be featured on wanted posters around the world. Jose Rodriguez has earned his place as one of the boys.

From the April 2015 issue
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

Watch The Amazing World of Gumball
"The Amazing World Of Gumball" also known as just Gumball, was creates by Ben Bocquelet, directed by Mic Graves, and was aired in the United Kingdom on Carton Network. This show has a silly, slap stick humor to it that also teaches valuable lessons, as well as aims their goals to make children laugh. The main characters are the Wattersons family, Gumball, Darwin, Anais, Richard, and Nicole. They live in the good old town of Elmore.
Gumball the main character is a very loyal, kindhearted, and funny 12 year old boy cat. While Darwin who was formerly Gumballs pet goldfish who sprouted legs and began speaking human, was adopted into the family and is now Gumballs adopted brother. Since Darwin is New to the world he is still slightly naive. Together, Gumball and Darwin go on these adventures that often go wrong. When they do, they tend to try and blame it on someone else or cover it up. Although Gumball tends to pose as a bad influence on Darwin at times, Darwin continues to be loyal and often helps him out of bad situations.
Then there is Richard, the enormous rabbit who is the stay at home father. Richard tends to play a role in his sons misadventures, that is when he is not sleeping, often at times he doesn't even bother to get dressed. Richard cares deeply for his family but does not carry any responsibility and is not very smart. While Nicole, the workaholic, over stressed, cat mother holds most of the families responsibilities. She works at the rainbow factory and spends the rest of her time cleaning the house, cleaning up after her sons messes, and helping them out of tough situations.
Finally there is little Anais Watterson. Anais is the youngest member of the family, Gumballs 4 year old sister who is a bunny. Aside from her mother, Anais seems to be the second most mature member of the family and is also quite responsible. She often goes along with her brothers on there adventures, even when she has grown impatient with them, just to serve as a voice of reason. Eventually, they all end up learning an a lesson from each quest then venture on.

Parameters governing the temperature profiles of typical semiconductor chips joined to circuit module substrates by controlled chip collapse (flip-chip bonding) techniques are discussed. These include the physical and geometric properties of various layers of metals and non-metals that form the chip-to-substrate interconnection. The importance of the bond between the interconnection and the substrate from the point of view of interfacial thermal resistance is indicated. Also, the "thermal pinch" effects of voids in controlled chip collapse interconnections are discussed. The various thermal impedances as obtained from computer simulated temperature profiles are given graphically as functions of the parameters. The derivation of a semi-empirical expression for predicting the transient response of junctions on joined chips is shown.

Prominent California stallion Habitony, sire of three-time California Horse of the Year Best Pal and 26 other stakes winners, was euthanized the morning of Jan. 30 because of heart problems. "We knew for some time, but his condition started to worsen the last two or three weeks," said John Mabee, who stood the 27-year-old stallion at his Golden Eagle Farm near Ramona. Mabee owns the farm with his wife, Betty.Best Pal, a Golden Eagle homebred, was a fixture in California's biggest stakes throughout his career. His big wins in the Golden State came in the Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I), Hollywood Futurity (gr. I), Hollywood Gold Cup (gr. I), Charles H. Strub Stakes (gr. I), Norfolk Stakes (gr. I), and the $1-million Pacific Classic, which wasn't graded when he won the inaugural running, in 1991. Outside California, Best Pal took the Oaklawn Handicap (gr. I) and ran second in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I). He finished his career with earnings of $5,668,245, behind only Alysheba and John Henry at that time.Unlike the distance loving Best Pal, Habitony's other millionaire, Richter Scale, excelled in the sprint game. Richter Scale won 12 of 25 starts and his big win came in track-record time of 1:07.95 in the 2000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash Stakes (gr. I) at Laurel. Overall, Habitony's runners have earned $16 million. Bred in Ireland by L.K. McCreery, Habitony was imported to the U. S. as a 2-year-old and raced exclusively in Southern California for owner A.W. Pejsa. He raced a dozen times at two and three, winning the Santa Anita Derby (gr. I), Norfolk Stakes (a grade II event then), and Sunny Slope Stakes (gr. III). Habitony bowed a tendon during his 3-year-old season and suffered an injury the following year and was retired with five wins and earnings of $304,190. Habitony, a son of Habitat who was produced from the Gallant Man mare Courteous Lady, entered stud in 1979 at Marshall Jenney's Derry Meeting Farm in Pennsylvania, and stood there one season before being sent to Japan. He was returned to North America in 1984 and began standing at Golden Eagle the following year.Habitony's 2001 book consisted of 10 outside mares. The Mabees had not patronized him in several years. Habitony was buried at the farm near Best Pal.

Once, we were a foursome: couples lucky enough to find one another in this big world, and to discover that we were more than just compatible. We had all the ingredients that mesh into a good and meaningful friendship.

I planted 7 seeds today of the Philippine Violet Shrub. Seed packet said soil had to be at least 78 degrees.
Philippine Violet, Barleria cristata. The dark green foliage is very attractive and virtually pest and disease free. But it�s in late summer to fall that the real show begins, as the upright plant stems load up with an abundance of lavender flowers that last until frost.
I will keep you posted. Wish me luck. I got the seeds from Onalee's Seeds. Great place for unusual seeds.
Phillipine Violet Shrub
I planted 7 seeds today of the Philippine Violet Shrub. Seed packet said soil had to be at least 78 degrees.
Sharon, I am in Florida, climate zone 8b and this plant is ground-hardy for me - freezes back and comes back in the early spring - you are in the same zone, so you should be able to grow it outdoors, in the ground, with mulch, if you wish.
If you would rather have cuttings, I will send you some for a priority stamp - JLMK.
Western zone 8b and Florida zone 8b aren't the same unfortunately--while the lowest temperature you'll see in any given winter is the same (hence them being in the same zone), in the west we tend to get close to that low on many more nights during the winter and prolonged exposure to temperatures like that has killed many things in my garden that are supposed to be hardy to zone 8 or 9 and do fine for people in Florida & the south who are in those zones. If you end up with multiple plants it's certainly worth experimenting and trying it outside, but I'd keep at least one indoors over the winter just to be safe.
I did not know that! Thanks - good information.
Kay, you have humidity where here it is normally under 5%. We had a mild winter last year and my Queen of Sheba did not freeze back. Last winter the bougainvilleas lived through the winter. The year before, they froze all over town. I use the 3rd car part of the garage for my zone pushing plants.
Here you never know if our low is going to be in the 30s or the teens.
Kay, thanks for the thought of cuttings. I will try the seed first. When is the best time to do cuttings. I saw this plant on DG about 3 years ago and have coveted it ever since.. Have not seen it here.
ecane3, thanks for your input. Sharon

[UPDATE] ACLA 2015 CFP: Poetry After Language (3/26-3/29, Seattle, WA) Deadline: 14 October 2014
The L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E school of poetry marked a shift—or a return to avant-garde practice—in American poetry in the 1970s. This seminar examines the continuing international significance of the L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E school of poetry in the wake of renewed politically engaged practices after the international years of protest of 2011-2013. At a moment when artistic movements across the world are taking up avant-garde and modernist strategies, what is the legacy of that earlier recovery of the avant-garde? Diverse poetic practices associated with the loosely defined movement edged toward the position, in Lyn Hejinian's words, that: "Language is nothing but meanings, and meanings are nothing but a flow of contexts.

Credit Suisse Packages Deemed Safe After Offices Evacuated
Suspicious packages received by Credit Suisse Group AG were deemed harmless after prompting an evacuation at the Swiss bank's Manhattan offices.
The packages "presented nothing dangerous or potentially dangerous," said James Margolin, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York.
Credit Suisse, Switzerland's second-biggest bank, said it evacuated all workers from its offices at 1 Madison Ave. on advice from the New York City Police Department after receiving two suspicious packages. About 2,000 people work for the lender there, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
Authorities warned financial firms in New York last week to be on alert after police in Germany said a functional letter bomb addressed to Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Officer Josef Ackermann was intercepted on Dec. 7 at the firm's Frankfurt headquarters. An anarchist group later claimed responsibility for the letter bomb.

Saints sign Vaccaro and 3 other draft picks
METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says first-round pick Kenny Vaccaro and three other draft choices have signed four-year contracts on the eve of the first rookie camp practice.
Loomis says the Saints on Thursday have also signed one of their third-round picks, Terron Armstead, fifth-round pick Kenny Stills and sixth-round pick Rufus Johnson.
Vaccaro, a safety out of Texas, was selected 15th overall in last month's draft. He is expected to compete for playing time right away at both safety positions and at nickel cornerback.
The 6-foot-5, 304-pound Armstead was drafted out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Stills was a standout wide receiver at Oklahoma.
Johnson played defensive end at Tarleton State in Texas and will line up as an outside linebacker in New Orleans' 3-4 defense.
