A cooperative is a business organization owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit. Cooperatives can be formed for a variety of purposes.
Montana law authorizes several types of cooperatives, which may operate for profit or not for profit.
Cooperative Associations
Agricultural Associations
Cooperative Agricultural Marketing
Rural Cooperative Utilities
Associations formed under Title 35, chapter 15, MCA, have all powers necessary to carry into effect the objects for which the associations may be formed, including those powers usually exercised by cooperative associations, subject to all duties, restrictions, and liabilities set forth in the general laws relating to similar corporations that are not limited or enlarged by this chapter. Annual stockholders meetings shall be held at a time fixed in the bylaws. If there are no bylaws, the meeting shall be held within 6 months after the close of the fiscal year.
Articles of Incorporation $20.00
Any Other Articles $10.00
Under Title 35, chapter 16, MCA, any 10 or more holders of title or evidence of title to agricultural, horticultural, or farm lands in this state of an aggregate value of not less than $75,000 who may desire to form a company or district for the purpose of promoting or improving the production, processing, storing, warehousing, or marketing of any or all agricultural, horticultural, or farm or dairying products of the respective petitioners therefor may incorporate themselves into an agricultural corporation or cooperative agricultural district.
Cooperatives formed under Title 35, chapter 17, MCA, are for the purpose of promoting, fostering, and encouraging the intelligent and orderly marketing of agricultural products through cooperation and to eliminate speculation and waste and to make the distribution of agricultural products as direct as can efficiently be done between producer and consumer, to stabilize the marketing problems of agricultural products, and to supply to its members necessary equipment. This type of cooperative is considered nonprofit because their purpose is not to make profits for themselves or their members, but only for their members as producers. Cooperative agricultural associations must provide for one or more regular meetings annually.
Articles of Incorporation $40.00
Any Other Articles $10.00
Cooperatives formed under Title 35, chapter 18, MCA, are nonprofit membership corporations organized for the purpose of supplying electrical energy and promoting and extending the use of electrical energy in rural areas; making generally available adequate telephone service, cable television service, or broadband facilities through the improvement and expansion of existing telephone, cable television, or broadband facilities and the construction and operation of additional facilities as are required to ensure the availability of service to the widest practicable number of users of telephone service, cable television service, or broadband facilities; and for purposes allowable under federal authorization, including rural economic development activities. Annual meetings of the members are held at a time provided in the bylaws.
Articles of Incorporation $40.00
Any Other Articles $10.00

My heart goes through periods of beating very hard - it happens several times per hour when I'm awake. It beats so hard, as if I was in a car accident, or I'm extremely scared, but I'm not doing anything other than laying on the couch. What's causing this?READ MORE
Why does my heart starts beating hard while I'm relaxing?
It's difficult to say with any certainty exactly what the problem is. It could be any one of a number of abnormal cardiac rhythms. They range from simple "extra" heart beats to more serious types that require investigation for their cause and treatment.
You must make an appointment with your physician for an evaluation. He/she will ask you several questions, examine you, and perform an electrocardiogram. Be sure to let your doctor know about all medication, caffeine and tobacco use, as well as any family history of heart disease, abnormal cardiac rhythms, and thyroid disease. If your abnormal heart beat is not evident on the electrocardiogram, he might request a 24-hour monitor of your heart beat and/or other studies to look at your heart.
Some rhythms are caused by excess caffeine or nicotine. Thyroid disease is also a common problem that can present as abnormal heart beats. In these cases, correcting the cause eliminates the problem.
Some rhythms only require observation, while others require medications. In severe or persistent cases, invasive studies need to be performed called electrophysiological testing of the heart, which requires a catheterization and "mapping" of the electrical system. Doctors can then eliminate the rhythm by cutting the abnormal pathway using radiofrequency techniques.
You need to start at the beginning. See your doctor and he'll know what to do.
Best wishes and feel better.
Martin Cane, M.D.
I have been having irregular hear beats. All at random times. Just had strong hard ones lying in bed, then slight pain in chest and light headed. Why?

Episode 66 of 152 episodes
An innovative interactive documentary provides a platform for people who underwent involuntary sterilization in a campaign devised by the then Peruvian President Fujimori in the 1990s. Click talks to one of the key people behind the project, Rosemarie Lerner. The launch of the project coincides with International Human Rights Day. Virtual Reality Video Sharing A New Zealand startup 8i has caught the attention of investors including Samsung for their virtual reality project. So far we have mainly seen VR in the film and gaming industries - but 8i is building software that lets people make and share 3D virtual reality videos. Simon Morton met up with the co-founder of 8i Eugene d'Eon in Wellington, New Zealand. CardioDiagnostics Researchers at CardioDiagnostics have developed wearable sensors attached to the skin around heart that links to a mobile phone in your pocket; it then sends data (electrocardiogram data) to a remote hub that relays the information automatically to the medical team. Ziad Sankari, the founder of CardioDiagnostics, a Lebanese tech start up, came to London as part of the UK Lebanon Tech Hub's Accelerator programme. He joins Click to discuss the technology behind the project. WiFM – Using FM to Get Better WiFi Connectivity If you have ever had a problem with poor WiFi connectivity then that might be down to too many neighbours trying to get on the internet at the same time. Click talks to Professor Aleksandar Kuzmanovic about a clever means of delaying/sharing connectivity through FM broadband width.

How to be a champion for tagless assets in your plant
Our company has been involved in numerous deployments where first-time mobile CMMS implementations were embraced by upper management and enthusiastically adopted by end users as well, because of the work of an internal champion that promoted new technology. The role of the internal champion cannot be understated.
Our company has been involved in numerous deployments where first-time mobile CMMS implementations were embraced by upper management and enthusiastically adopted by end users as well, because of the work of an internal champion that promoted new technology.
The role of the internal champion cannot be understated. Few people have greater insight into process flaws and areas needing improvement than plant engineers and employees working in the trenches. Who better to recommend process changes that can increase performance or output, than someone who directly realizes the effect of introducing a new technology?
So how do you, the plant engineer, become a champion within your company? How do you convince the powers-that-be to invest in assets they cannot see? There are several key actions and positions that a successful champion can employ to lead his or her company through the challenges of implementing a new technology. Some are obvious, while others are subtle. But when used as a roadmap, all have been proven to work.
Know your organization
Address the processes currently in use. Identify where bottlenecks exist and how they can be improved with technology. Consider prior attempts to "fix" the problem and be prepared to explain why these attempts failed. Then explain how the new approach will address effectively the weaknesses in your current processes.
As a champion, it is critical that you put yourself in the shoes of upper management. It is upper management that will not only be concerned with workflow improvements, but how the overall process will benefit the organization. Be prepared to present the benefits this technology will deliver to the entire organization — from employees on the front line, to the managerial level, and the organization as a whole. It's best to talk dollars when possible.
Profile your change proposal
Profile your change in a detailed proposal, emphasizing benefits and hard ROI. Think about your process and look for needed improvements. Create documents, graphs, and charts showing the current process or methodology. Clearly illustrate the existing pinch points, unnecessary costs, and inefficiencies. Then build corresponding charts that depict the new process or technology with improvements from your proposed solution. Include numbers for the existing process — labor, production delays, quality control, data entry, etc. Show hard dollar costs that can be eliminated (data entry personnel, call center staff, man hours) and be prepared to discuss soft dollar, or intangible benefits, as well. These intangible benefits include the value and overall improvements to your organization's efficiency over time or an increase in customer satisfaction.
Illustrate other successful implementations within your industry when possible. In an early technology market, proven numbers may not always be available, so you may have to be creative in illustrating ROI. For example, calculate man-hours saved, increases in wrench time, and obvious operating cost savings. Likewise, try not to highlight an increase in productivity as a single benefit. Instead, illustrate how more productivity eventually reduces the amount of overtime from 10% to 5%, and can eliminate the need for outsourcing. For regulated industries, consider the elimination of fines charged in the past for noncompliance, which would no longer be applicable because of new technology improvements. Ask your vendor for help here. Technology providers should be able to provide examples of the benefits their solution can deliver to your applications.
Identify decision makers
Know who else is involved in the decision; speak their language to gain buy-in. Simplify the process for your boss by beginning talks with other internal players whose buy-in is required, such as users, IT staff, and superintendents. Management wants to decrease or eliminate risk in any new process implementation. For new technology rollouts, the greatest risks often have little to do with the technology itself. The risks have more to do with organizational support. Respective players must be committed to adopting the new business processes created by the technology. Work with each to develop a benefit map to their world. (Continued on p 43)
When approaching each audience, be mindful of presenting your solution in their language. Be prepared to present the benefits of a new technology implementation differently when talking to a user on the plant floor, as opposed to a manager in the front office. Their concerns are different. And if you understand these concerns and speak directly to them, your proposal is more likely to be accepted.
Users are particularly important to new technology implementations. Their buy-in is often the first concern of managers. Your IT department also should be called in to endorse the technology and validate its compatibility in your environment. Don't wait until the last minute to involve these IT resources! They have been through technology assessments many times. They know what your management team is looking for, and can help you prepare for justifying your suggestions. IT departments also have the expertise to help determine hidden costs, such as the resources necessary to support the new technology, or the need for new hardware or devices to be deployed.
Seek vendor involvement
Know your vendor and its technology — and ask for help. Vendors offering a technology solution know the benefits it provides. It's their job. Lean on them, because no amount of support you request is too much. They want to make the sale. Helping you become a hero in your company goes with the territory. They can provide you with case studies, ROI examples, estimated costs, a project plan, allied vendors, and more.
Ask for references. Directly contacting your vendor's customer references may be helpful in distinguishing fact from fiction, and enable you to compile your own assessments of real versus purported benefits.
Ensure the technology vendor you choose is solid and reputable — both in customer references and economic footing. Too many companies were left without a vendor to support their solutions after the dotcom fallout. Look for a vendor that has a reputation for consistently delivering valuable solutions and excellent customer service.
Expect to be challenged
There's a good chance that your first attempt at proposing the addition of a new technology may not be heeded at the expediency you would hope for. That's why doing your homework before attempting to champion a technology solution will save you a lot of time and effort. This step could possibly make the difference between your proposal being left by the wayside for months, and jump-starting further discussion at the upper manager's level.
Challenges often focus on:
Budget — "Sounds great, but we just don't have the money right now"
Resources — "I don't have the team to complete a large-scale deployment like this"
Timeliness — "Why now?"
Necessity — "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"
"Can we afford to wait with costs rising so quickly?"
"We can work together to roll this out"
"We're all on-board"
"We have real process problems for which a solution is available."
As an internal champion, the role you assume has its rewards, and can very well make you a company hero. But it also represents hard work and challenges. Following these guidelines can help you become the leader responsible for making a difference. Good luck!

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Analysts had expected it would take in at least $8 million.
The poor showing could mean trouble for studios hoping to cash in on the TV craze with reality-based movies.
From Justin to Kelly, based on the popular American Idol series, hits screens June 13. Filming begins this summer on The Bachelor Party, a reality-based film on raucous pre-wedding nights. Universal Studios has delayed the release of its spring break film, The Quest, with no new date set.
Cancun cost $8 million to make, but barely cracked the top 10, taking in only $1,017 per screen in 2,261 theaters.
Shot in eight days last month and edited in 2½ weeks, it seemed to be a shoo-in to make money: Nary a dime was spent on actors and screenwriters, and the film was marketed heavily on college campuses. It enjoyed the type of pre-release publicity normally reserved for big event movies.
Sunday morning, however, executives at New Line Cinema were puzzled.
"I don't know what happened," says Russell Schwartz, New Line's head of domestic marketing. "Obviously, we were disappointed with the numbers. But we won't write the film off in its first week. We've had good screenings, and we think it will hang in there with strong word of mouth."
EDI's Dan Marks says that the multitude of reality-based TV shows may have been Cancun's downfall.
"There's so much out there already, you have to provide something a little different," he says. "And I'm not sure there was ever a big adult market for the movie," which is rated R.
Those adults who did see it were not impressed. Cancun rated a C- with audiences, and moviegoers over 35 gave it an F, according to CinemaScore.com.
Sony Pictures, meanwhile, benefited from unreal films. The horror film Identity topped all movies with $17 million, dethroning Anger Management, which was second with $16 million.
It was rough sailing for this week's other newcomers. Confidence, the crime caper starring Dustin Hoffman, was fifth with $4.8 million. The Kirk and Michael Douglas comedy It Runs in the Family was ninth with $3 million.
Final numbers are due today.

When it comes to this years footgear, trendy over the knee boots are something you can't get around. Be it super slim models made of soft velour leather, western style boots with fringes or more extravagant options with a slight plateau and patent leather finish, there's a style for every taste!
I think overknee boots really look better when they are flats, because the flat sole kind of softens the sexiness of the boot. Also, you have to be very careful when styling an overknee boot with heels, to not end up looking… well, let's say not classy, if you know what I mean.
Overall, I would always opt for a rather plain outfit when wearing your over the knee boots. For example, tight leather pants look mighty fine with overknees, but make sure to wear something like a chunky knit or loose white shirt on top and add an oversized wool coat to the mix for a classy, yet stylish appearance during daytime. At night, you can of course be more daring if you go out
In my case, I wore a short but loose and swinging mini skirt from Zara with black leather over the knees from Pat Calvin. I paired them with a burgundy cashmere jumper from Stefanel and a grey denim shirt underneath, plus an old bouclé jacket from Zara and my grey cashmere beanie from Cos. Ergo, items with a fluffy, woolly structure that are high-necked and look cosy.
So you see, it's just a question of styling your outfit to make over the knee boots look not only pretty darn good, but also appropriate if worn during the day.

Hi there,
Had a good dig around the API reference and forums, and can't seem to find what I'm after. I have a client that wants to integrate the content of the newsletter, but repurposed a bit to fit the site structure, and also hold the full articles within the site CMS too. But they want to do all the EDM building within the CM environment. So - is there a way of exporting a campaign as XML which I can then parse and render within the site? Or is the only alternative getting the 'View in Browser' version and hacking around with the code in there? Would rather just deal with the data and put my own presentation around it.
Hi Alan,
that's relatively easy using the API...contact me on email@example.com

Comments from Adam Koch
i had a similar experience to michael danahar a couple replies prior to mine..i think i was in second grade though. i was nervous that my mom would catch me watching the video for "Freedom." they were so organized and precise but they sounded so chaotic. and the video was so powerful to me at that age. i had never experienced rock music that had such a big message, or at least, had gone to such measures to get a message across. i thought to myself "how are they allowed to air this?!?! this is so obviously against mtv and the government(which i assume regulates mtv)!" rage laid the foundation for me to eventually develop an interest for bands like crass and subhumans and also hip hop groups like public enemy and dead prez. i grew up as an only-child in a redneck town in south florida and there was not much for a young introverted white kid to latch onto that was unique and powerful so i feel justified in being thankful for the impact RATM's first album. thanks for the article.

Blue Skies & Black Olives: A survivor's tale of housebuilding and peacock chasing in Greece
Hodder & Stoughton, Sep 10, 2009 - Travel - 300 pages
It was a moment of mad impulse when John Humphrys decided to buy a semi-derelict cottage and a building site on a plot of land overlooking the Aegean. A few minutes gazing out over the most glorious bay he had ever seen was all it took to persuade him. After all, his son Christopher was already raising his family there so he would help build the beautiful villa that would soon rise there. What could possibly go wrong?

The Numidians were an ancient Berber people renowned for their horsemanship who were composed of two main tribes in modern Algeria and Tunisia: the Massyli in the east and the Massaesyli in the west. They were united under King Massinissa, whose position was guaranteed by his Roman allies after the 2nd Punic War in which he aided the Romans in their defeat of the Carthaginians. His unified kingdom was short-lived, however, as the west was given to the Mauretanian king by the Romans following the death of King Jugurtha. Eventually all of Numidia and Mauretania were added to the Roman realm.
Initial government is Despotism.

Gardai appeal for witnesses to two Temple Bar stabbings
Gardaí at Pearse St. are appealing for witnesses following two stabbing incidents in Dublin city centre on Saturday.
In a statement the Gardia said:
At approximately 7.30pm a male aged in his mid 20s was approached and assaulted by a group of youths on Fleet Street.
He sustained stab injuries to his side and face during the incident.
He was removed by ambulance to St. James Hospital where he continues to receive treatment.
His condition is not believed to be life threatening.
In a second incident, a short time later, a male aged in his early 30s was approached and assaulted by two males outside a night club on Cope Street.
The man fled from his assailants onto Anglesea St. where he sustained a number of stab wounds to his abdomen and face.
He was also removed by Ambulance to St James Hospital. His condition is understood to be serious.
Investigating Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to contact the incident room at Pearse St. Garda Station.
No arrests have been made to date and Gardaí are continuing to review CCTV in the area as one of a number of lines of enquiry.
Technical and forensic examinations at each of the scenes have been completed.
A local business owner described the scene in Dublin's central tourist hub of Temple Bar as one of "absolute chaos" on Saturday night.
"It was absolutely disgraceful here on Saturday night.
"It was just full of scumbags running around and destroying the place.
"There were people out trying to enjoy themselves but a small group of people were just causing trouble as usual," the man said.
"It was absolute chaos, unfortunately," he added.
The area has previously come under the spotlight with gangs of teenagers carrying out anti-social acts and engaging in criminal behaviour.
In March, it was announced that a public safety unit would be drafted in to support the work of on-the-beat gardaí amid fears the problem of teen gangs operating in the capital's cultural quarter had escalated, along with out-of-control drinking.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Pearse St. Garda Station 01 6669000 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.

The Hollywood Reporter
Some quick news to kick-start your Friday evening as word of a tale of science gone awry has hit the wire. Being that awry science is our favorite type of science, we figured it would definitely be worth a mention. Read on for details.
According to THR microbudget horror maven Jason Blum and Fast and Furious franchise writer Chris Morgan are teaming up for a low-budget sci-fi movie project.
The duo will produce the as of yet untitled project and have hired actor-turned-scribe Christopher Denham, who played one of the Canadian Embassy houseguests in the 2012 best picture Oscar winner Argo, to write the script.
Plot details are being kept secret, but broadly, the story centers on a group of students who invent a new technology with ramifications that go far beyond their control.
More on this one as it comes.

DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Human rights activists on Thursday demanded clemency for a Senegalese maid who was trafficked to Saudi Arabia and may face the death penalty after being charged with killing her employer.
Mbayang Diop, 22, was arrested in June, weeks after arriving in the world's largest oil exporter, and accused of stabbing her employer to death in the capital of Riyadh, rights groups said.
Senegalese civil society groups say Diop may have killed the woman she worked for in self-defense after a dispute, and that the Saudi authorities had not properly investigated the case.
On Wednesday, the Senegalese ambassador to Saudi Arabia visited Diop in prison in the eastern city of Dammam to provide assistance, Senegal's foreign ministry said in a statement.
The Saudi embassy in Dakar was not immediately available to comment on the case.
Diop left Dakar without telling her family, having been approached and offered work as a maid, said her brother, Fallou.
"If she had consulted us, we would have told her not to go," he said, explaining how other women from their neighborhood in Dakar had also moved to Saudi Arabia with the promise of work.
"She said she couldn't rest - that the work was very hard."
Diop, who is in jail awaiting trial, is one of a growing number of Senegalese women heading to the Middle East for domestic work, lured by the prospect of a salary and a chance to escape joblessness at home, according to Amnesty International.
But many have their passports confiscated by their employers and face abuse, said Amnesty's regional director Alioune Tine.
"These women are of victims of violence and rape ... they are at the mercy of their employer, they are the property of their employer," Tine told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"They are the victims of a system of modern slavery."
Diop has not yet seen a lawyer, appeared in court or entered a plea to the charge of murder, which is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, said Bara Gaye, the mayor of Yeumbeul, a suburb on the outskirts of Dakar that is home to Diop's family.
Senegal's foreign minister Mankeur Ndiaye described Diop last week as "a victim like many others", and said the West African nation's government would crack down on traffickers.
Traditionally, domestic workers in the Gulf have come from Asia but the number of African migrants is increasing, driven by the lack of opportunities at home, human rights activists say.
Women are often trafficked to Saudi Arabia, one of the world's largest employers of domestic workers, and forced into domestic servitude, said the annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, which grades countries on their anti-slavery efforts.
Civil society groups and protesters this week gathered in central Dakar to demand clemency for Diop.
Boubacar Seye, head of migrant rights group Horizon Sans Frontieres, called for an investigation into the case, saying none had taken place so far.
"Everyone knows the conditions these women live in - they're like slaves," said Iba Sarr of the human rights group Raddho, urging the Senegalese authorities to pursue the case.

*****Currently shipping the updated 2016-2017 version. *****
For the past 100 years, the alternative health care community has had their own answers to "winter illnesses." In the epidemic of 1918 of 26,000 cases treated by this community in the US, there was a fatality rate of 1.05% compared to 28.2% for conventionally treated patients.
Celletech's Homeotherapeutic Winter Tonic Plus is a proprietary combination of every "winter illness" type from 1918 to the present. It is updated every year with the latest "winter illness type". The combination of "winter illness" types are combined with additional targeting agents that help your body adjust and respond to this year's "winter illness".
We have the new Winter Tonic available now called Winter Tonic Plus. This new Winter Tonic Plus includes Krebs Cycle Acids that helps feed and stimulate the cells of the body to help deal with new colds and flus more efficiently.
One bottle of Winter Tonic Plus will serve the entire family. That means you and your family can update your protection weekly. Remember, Winter Tonic Plus is more than one seasons flu vaccine, it is 94 years of different Flu and Cold types, (1918 through 2013/14) along with the European Cold and Flu types called La grippe.
For the last 20+ years Winter Tonic and Winter Balance II have been a great alternative to the Over-The-Counter products that are not natural, make you drowsy and are full of chemicals.
As a preventative Winter Tonic Plus, along with Winter Balance II should be taken once a week during the cold and flu season.
If you become ill, Winter Tonic Plus, along with Winter Balance II should be taken 4 times a day until better.
Homeotherapeutic targeting agents:
Winter Tonic Plus: 1918 "Winter Illness," Celletech Proprietary "Winter Illness" combination, Otitis; Sinusitis; Grippe. (All 6C)
Assayable Ingredients:
Dry pellets: Sucrose (70%), Starch of Corn (30%)
Spray: 80% Steam Distilled Water, 20% Alcohol
Question: Why should I take Winter Tonic Plus and Winter Balance II together?
Winter Tonic Plus helps your body mount a defense against the onslaught of the Cold and Flu, but it does not address the symptoms associated with the onslaught. Your body will respond more quickly and effectively to the Cold and Flu, but you won't get the symptom relief that helps you adjust. Taken together, Winter Tonic Plus and Winter Balance II can provide symptomatic relief as well as a deep response. For the best defense, we recommend that both formulas be taken on a weekly basis during the cold and flu season, and that they be carried in purse or backpack so that they can be taken at the first signs that you have picked up a bug. The best defense is an early offense!

[Continued from Part One : SGLNX takes Moblin 2.1 for a spin]
The MSI Wind netbook was the platform used for installation of Moblin 2.1.
Installation was relatively easy. One has to make sure that the media or harddisk used is the correct media. Else, the primary OS residing in the PC's harddisk may be deleted. To be safe, SGLNX advises those whom want to try the Moblin 2.1 to install it on a removable media such as a USB stick.

The smallest but not the least, the PErL laser from Avesta Project is an ultrafast fiber laser operating in C-band (1530-1565 nm). The rigid design of the laser ensures insensitivity to physical and vibration impact, high stability, repeatability of initial specs that is in high demand with OEM applications. Pulse duration can be ordered in the range of 250 fs - 5 ps, pulse shape being close to transform-limited. The PErL laser with average power rating up to 50 mW is a nice budget-friendly solution for low-power applications, such as amplifier systems seeding. High frequency electrical output of the laser can be used as a trigger for synchronization systems. The laser can act as a stand-alone pulse source, as well as operate in complex systems. The only thing needed for OEM operation is a power source with +5V (the power adapter for standard 220/110V network is supplied with the laser).

Be careful what you wish for Tebow fans, because after a frustrating few days, we finally heard someone seem to tell it like it is, and, well, it is very disheartening. Not surprising, but disheartening.
Woody Paige was on Sandy Clough's show and discussed the Broncos and the Tebow situation at great length. In short, Paige doesn't think that Tebow will get a shot in Denver. He states rather plainly that "Elway doesn't like [Tebow]. Fox doesn't like him, that's the truth of the matter." (at the 12:35 mark), and later states with equal force that Fox didn't like Steve Young either (Beginning at the 4:30 mark. Quote regarding Fox/Young at 3:50 mark.). And Mr. Paige has clarified via email that by "do not like" he meant as a player only, and not as a man.
What is ironic is that Paige reminiscences that Dan Reeves didn't think Elway would be a decent QB and that the Broncos wanted to trade him but were stuck with him. Elway tweeted pretty much the same regarding his first start. Interesting that Elway's tweet is in seeming defense of Orton and not Tebow.
Paige and Clough also speculate that the Ravens might be interested in trading a third round pick for Tebow, based on some speculation of Peter King. Who knows, but we are beginning to hope so if the Broncos aren't even going to give Tim a chance. And with no packages for him, it's beginning to look like that is the case.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 809,020, filed Dec. 16, 1985.
The instant invention relates to recreational vehicles and specifically, to a towing vehicle having a secured storage enclosure to replace the conventional bed on a pickup truck and a specialized fifth wheel trailer hitch which is used on a fifth wheel trailer towed by the pickup truck.
Fifth wheel trailers have become a popular form of recreational vehicle in that they provide additional living space by extending a portion of the trailer over the rear end of the pulling vehicle (pickup truck), thereby providing the additional space without increasing the overall length of the combined pulling vehicle/recreational vehicle combination. The disadvantage of conventional fifth wheel trailers is that the portion of the hitch which is located on the pickup truck generally requires the placement of a heavy (approximately 70-lb.) bar between the wheel wells of a conventional pickup bed, with the resultant loss of carrying capacity by the pickup truck.
Although a structure known as a utility bed has been used to provide some additional storage, provision of a utility bed on the pulling vehicle makes access to the central portion of the bed very difficult. Additionally, provision of the utility bed renders the already difficult task of connecting and disconnecting the trailer from the pulling vehicle even more difficult.
An object of the instant invention is to provide a secured storage enclosure for a pickup truck and to provide a fifth wheel hitch usable therewith.
Another object of the instant invention is to provide a fifth wheel hitch which is retractable, allowing passage of the hitch over a built-up, enclosed portion of a storage compartment.
Another object of the instant invention is to provide a fifth wheel hitch mechanism which greatly simplifies the hitching and unhitching operation.
Still another object of the instant invention is to provide a mechanism which will automatically level a recreational vehicle.
The secured enclosure of the instant invention includes a multi-compartmental enclosure, each compartment having a watertight door. The enclosure includes a powered vent system to provide circulation of air through the enclosure and a hitch receiving well formed in the enclosure for receiving a hitch for attaching a pulled vehicle to the pickup truck frame. The fifth wheel hitch of the invention includes engagement means for engaging a pulling vehicle, a mount for the engagement means, which is shiftable between an extended and retracted position, and an obstruction sensor which is operable to detect an impending impact between the pulling vehicle and the towed vehicle during the hitching process. Warning means are operable with the sensor to alert the operator of the impending impact.
These and other objects and advantages of the instant invention will become more fully apparent as the description which follows is read in conjunction with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of a pickup truck equipped with the secured enclosure of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial cross section of the enclosure, taken generally along the line 2--2 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an end view of a fastener of the invention, taken generally along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a partial cross section of the enclosure taken generally along the line 4--4 of FIG. 1, and a hitch of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a partial cross section of a rear portion of the enclosure, taken generally along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional side view of the hitch of FIG. 4 in an extended condition, with portions broken away to show detail.
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an electronic circuit of the invention.
Turning initially to FIGS. 1, and 2, a pulling vehicle is shown, fragmentarily, at 10. Vehicle 10, in the preferred embodiment, includes a conventional pickup truck cab 11 and frame 12 and a specially constructed secured enclosure 14. Enclosure 14 includes a multi-compartmental structure 16, which replaces the conventional open pickup bed. Structure 16 includes a pair of side storage areas 18 and 20 extending along either side of the pickup frame and over the rear wheels 22.
Storage areas 18 and 20 are substantially mirror images of one another. The storage areas include, and using storage area 20 as an example, multiple compartments, such as that shown generally at 21 in FIG. 2. Each compartment is covered by a door, or closure means, such as that indicated at 24, 25 and 26 in FIG. 1.
Each compartment has a gasket 27 about the periphery of the compartment opening. The gasket cooperates with the door to form a watertight seal. The doors are attached to the storage area by hinges 28 (two per door in the preferred embodiment). Hinge 28 includes a fixed segment 28a which is secured to the wall of the storage area, a hinge pin 28b, and a swinging segment 28c which is attached to the door. Segment 28c includes a first arcuate portion 28c' and a second arcuate portion 28c" which allows complete swinging of the door away from the opening of the compartment, as is indicated by the dashed lines in FIG. 2, and is further operative, with the door in a closed position or condition, to draw the door tightly against gasket 27 to form the watertight seal.
The doors are provided with locks 29 to both fasten the door in a closed position and to discourage unauthorized access. A bed 30 extends rearward from cab 11 and between side storage areas 18 and 20. Bed 30 is secured to frame 12 and replaces the normal bed found on pickup truck type vehicles. Bed 30 may be integrally formed with side storage areas 18 and 20, or may be formed as a separate element. Enclosure 14, in the preferred embodiment, is formed of fiberglass. The unit may also be formed of ABS type plastic, or from sheet metal. Bed 30 may be integrally formed with side storage areas 18 and 20, or formed as a discrete element and sealed to the side areas. In either situation, a watertight connection is provided across the frame of the pickup truck.
A center section 32 extends between side storage areas 18 and 20 and covers, in a watertight condition, bed 30. Section 32 includes a forward portion 34 which extends rearward from the truck cab and includes therein a hitch receiving well 36. In the preferred embodiment, well 36 has a substantially frusto-conical form. A hitch ball 38 is mounted on the truck frame at the base of well 36.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, portion 34 has a generally flat expanse 34a which extends between side areas 18 and 20, and a downwardly projecting flange 34b which is constructed to abut the exterior of inner walls 18a and 20a. Flange 34b has plural slots 34c formed therein. A peripheral flange 34d extends from expanse 34a beyond flange 34b and is sealed to areas 18 and 20 and to an upwardly extending portion 30a of bed 30 by a gasket 35.
Portion 34 is secured to side storage areas 18 and 20 by means of blind fasteners 37. Fasteners 37 include, in the preferred embodiment, a round head 37a which has a shaft 37b extending therefrom. Shaft 37b has a reduced diameter shaft 37c extending from the end thereof and located on shaft 37b in a nonconcentric manner. A pin 37d extends, at right angles, through the end of reduced diameter portion 37c. A spring 37e urges the fastener towards the interior of the compartments in storage areas 18 and 20.
Fasteners 37 are mounted on the inner wall, such as wall 20a of the storage compartments, and extend through a bore 20b formed therein. Referring now to FIG. 3, slot 34c is operable to receive pin 37d when the fastener is in the position as shown in phantom lines. Rotation of fastener 37 clockwise, as shown by the arrow, results in portion 37c forcing flange 34b downwards as portion 37c acts on slot 34c, which in turn draws the peripheral flange 34d against gasket 35, forming a weathertight seal.
Center section 32 also includes a rear portion 40 which completes the enclosure at the rear of the truck. Portion 40 includes a top cover section 40a and a rear door section 40b. Rear door 40b is secured to section 40a by hinges, such as hinge 28. Section 40a is secured to portion 34 by hinges, such as hinge 28, which has a removable pin. The entire rear portion, or folding door assembly, 40 may be removed, by removing the hinge pins, leaving an open section at the rear of the enclosure.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, cover 40a joins with a lip 41 which is formed at the rear margin of forward portion 34. A gasket 39 is interposed between cover 40a and portion 34 to form a watertight seal. A lip and gasket are also located at the rear margin of portion 40a and cooperate with a flanged margin of door 40b to form a watertight seal. A spring fastener 42 is pivotably received in a mount 43 which is located on the underside of cover 40a adjacent its rear margin. An end of fastener 42 is slidably secured to door 40b by a retainer 44.
A transverse section 42b of fastener 42 extends from mount 43, which is located substantially at the center line of the vehicle, through a flange adjacent either side the margin of cover 40a and terminates in an offset tip 42c which extends through a bore in side wall 20a. Offset 42c is operable, similarly to offset portion 37c, such that when door 40b is closed, portion 42c is rotated to draw cover 40a downwards against gasket 39 and lip 41 and against gasket 35 on storage areas 18 and 20, thereby forming a watertight seal. As door 40b is raised, the arrangement of slots 43a in mount 43 is such that offset tip 42c is withdrawn from the bore in the storage areas. This allows folding of rear portion 40 over forward portion 34 and easy access to the center compartment.
Referring again to FIG. 1, enclosure 14 is provided with integral taillights 50 including the normal brake and taillight 50a and a backup light 50b. Another backup light 52 is provided on rear door 40b and a third backup light 54 is provided at upper rear margin of well 36. Backup lights 52 and 54 are operable with conventional backup light 50b and provide illumination for coupling and uncoupling vehicle 10 and a towed vehicle during low light or dark conditions.
A bumper 56 is mounted to the frame of pickup 12 to protect the rear of the vehicle.
Powered vent means are provided to circulate air through structure 16 to prevent condensation of moisture therein. In the preferred embodiment, powered vent means includes blowers 56, 58, located on the forward ends of storage areas 18, 20, respectively. The various compartments inside the structure are interconnected so that air may circulate freely therebetween. Vents, such as vent 60, (FIGS. 1 and 4) are located at the rear of areas 18 and 20 and also in door 40b. The vent includes a louvered slot 60a formed in the wall of the component and a flexible strip 60b which allows air to exit the enclosure while preventing the entry of water and dust. The vents are located slightly above the level of bed 30.
The compartments inside structure 16 may be configured for specific uses, such as is compartment 21, which is configured to carry a spare tire 62. Other compartments, such as those associated with doors 26 and 28 are provided and may contain any type of item which is receivable therein. A compartment 64, associated with a door 66 on the left side of the structure, has a removable panel 68 which allows access to the center compartment under forward portion 34 from the left side of the vehicle. This feature enables the placement and removal of long objects, such as skis, golf bags, etc., in the structure without the removal of portion 34.
Referring now to FIG. 4, ball 38, in the preferred embodiment, is mounted on a plate 46 which is received in a mounting 47. Mounting 47 is secured to frame 12 of vehicle 10. Plate 46 is constructed such that it may be removed from mounting 47, and inverted therein, providing bed 30 with a substantially flat surface, as in a conventional pickup truck. If desired, center section 32 may be completely removed, by removing rear portion 40 and forward portion 34.
The secured enclosure thus far described is intended for use with a retractable hitch, to be described later herein. A modified form of the secured compartment may be used with a conventional fifth wheel hitch provided that well 36 is extended aft, as depicted in phantom lines in FIG. 1.
Turning again to FIG. 4, a portion of enclosure 16 is shown in cross section with a trailer 80 (partially shown) positioned in what is referred to herein as a ready-to-hitch position. Trailer, or towed vehicle, 80 is of the fifth wheel type and includes a fifth wheel hitch 82 constructed according to the invention. Hitch 82 includes a frame member 84 which is attached to the frame of trailer 80 on either side of the trailer centerline. It should be understood that only one frame member is shown for the purposes of simplicity, as is the case with many of the components to be described herein. Frame member 84 has a slot 84a formed therein which receives a traveling arm bearing 86 for movement therealong. A second slot 84b extends through the upper portion of frame member 84 and receives a second traveling arm bearing 88 therein. Bearings 86, 88 are mounted on a traveling arm 90.
A hitch retracting mechanism 92 is mounted on the forward end of frame member 84. Mechanism 92 includes a housing 94, a powered jack screw 96 and an extensible/retractable portion 98. Jack screw 96 is also referred to herein as powered activation means for retracting and extending engagement means, to be described later herein.
Portion 98, also referred to herein as engagement means mount, is shiftable between a retracted position, shown in FIG. 4, and an extended position, shown in FIG. 6. Traveling arm 90 is attached to portion 98 by a pivot pin 99 and is operable to stabilize portion 98 and transfer pulling forces exerted by vehicle 10 to trailer 80.
Portion 98 has a hitch ball receiving socket 100 mounted at its base. Socket 100 is operable to receive ball 38 therein, thereby effecting coupling between vehicle 10 and trailer, or pulled vehicle 80.
Socket 100 has a dog 102 pivotably mounted on a pivot shaft 104, which is secured to extensible portion 98, and is operable to lock ball 38 in socket 100. Such locking is accomplished by activation of a solenoid 106 which has an arm 108 operably connected to dog 102. Solenoid 106 and dog 102 are also referred to herein as powered locking means. Socket 100, powered locking means and an engagement sensor (to be described later herein) comprise what is referred to herein collectively as engagement means.
A conduit 110 is secured to extensible portion 98 for movement therewith. Conduit 110 is used to contain electrical wiring for the electrical components mounted on extensible portion 98. Additionally, conduit 110 has a pin 112 mounted thereon which is operable, as extensible portion 98 moves between a retracted and extended position, to shift an obstacle sensor 114 between an operating position and a rest position, respectively. An over-center spring 115 maintains sensor 114 in either position once it has been shifted.
Sensor 114 includes a deflectable portion 116 which deflects if it contacts any portion of enclosure 14 during the hitching procedure. Deflection of deflectable portion 116 causes a switch 118, housed in a non-deflectable portion 120 of the sensor, to close, thereby generating a warning signal. A light 122, also referred to herein as warning means, illuminates upon receipt of a warning signal from switch 118. Sensor 114 is mounted on brackets 124, 126 for shifting between its operating position, shown in FIG. 4, and its rest position, shown in FIG. 6. Bracket 126 has a notch 126a formed on an end thereof to coact with pin 112 for shifting sensor 114 between the operating position and the rest position.
A solenoid 128, having an arm 130, is connected to a traveling arm-down lock 132 for locking traveling arm 90 in a down position. Down lock 132 pivots about a down lock pin 134. Down lock 132 is operable on traveling arm bearing 88 to hold traveling arm 90 in a down position.
A traveling arm-down sensor switch 136 is operable with arm 90 in a down position to send an arm-down signal to a logic circuit, shown generally at 138. Switch 136 is activated when traveling arm bearing 88 makes contact with the plunger thereof.
A traveling arm-up sensor switch 140 is operable, when arm 90 is in the position depicted in FIG. 4, to transmit an arm-up signal to circuit 138.
A down lock position sensor 142 is operable to detect whether down lock 132 is in the locked or unlocked position and transmit a down lock position signal to circuit 138.
Trailer 80 includes an adjustable trailer jack, such as jack 144. Although a fifth wheel trailer generally has a pair of such jacks, the trailer of the preferred embodiment has a single jack mounted at the trailer centerline to simplify trailer leveling. Jack 144 includes a motorized jack screw assembly 146, a trailer jack housing 148 and an extensible leg 150. Leg 150 moves within housing 148 between a retracted position and an extended position. When in the extended position, the jack is operative to support the forward end of trailer 80.
A trailer jack position sensor 152 is operable to send a trailer jack retracted signal to circuit 138 when leg 150 is fully retracted and a rod 154, which is fixed to leg 150, contacts the plunger of the sensor. Rod 154 carries an adjustable slider 155 thereon which is shiftable to provide an indication of the position of leg 150 when trailer 80 is unhitched. The operation of this feature will be explained later herein.
Circuit 138 includes a control panel 166, which is mounted on trailer 80 (FIG. 4) and is protected by a locking cover 168.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the hitch of the invention is shown, in what is referred to herein as a hitched position. Traveling arm 90 and extensible portion 98 are in their extended positions. Down lock 132 has engaged traveling arm bearing 88 to prevent upward shifting of extensible portion 98 and obstacle sensor 114 has been raised to its rest position where it is maintained by over center spring 115. Socket 100 has engaged ball 38 and dog 102 has engaged the rear side of ball 38 to secure trailer 80 to vehicle 10. A hitch sensor pin 158 is mounted on a bracket 160 and is urged to a down position by a spring 162. As socket 100 fully receives ball 38, pin 158 is forced upwards compressing spring 162 and shifting the contacts on a switch 164, which is used to sense the position of pin 158.
Turning now to FIG. 7, circuit 138 is shown in its entirety. A leveling switch (curved mercury) 170 is mounted behind panel 166 and is operable to sense whether or not trailer 80 is level front-to-rear. A leveling circuit is activated by depressing a leveling switch 172.
Trailer jack 144 may be adjusted by means of a switch 174 (SPDTCO) which operates jack screw assemblies 146 to raise or lower the leg 150 of the trailer jack.
A function switch 176 (SPDTCO) is operable to extend or retract extensible portion 98 of hitch 82 and also to activate the peripheral devices which are required to hitch trailer 80 to vehicle 10.
An unhitch switch 178 is operable to activate hitch 82 to disconnect from vehicle 10.
The positions of the contacts of the switches in FIG. 7 are set as they would appear with the trailer freestanding and hitch 82 in the position shown in FIG. 4.
The first step in connecting trailer 80 to vehicle 10 is to adjust the front end of trailer 80 to an appropriate height, thereby also adjusting the height of hitch 82. This is accomplished by adjusting trailer jack 144 to the appropriate height, such that slider 155 is aligned with the bottom of trailer jack housing 148. This is accomplished by retracting or extending leg 150 through activation of jack screw assembly 146 by switch 174.
Function selector switch 176 is placed in the load position which enables switch 118 to both illuminate light 122 and raise the front end of trailer 80, by lowering leg 150, should deflectable portion 116 come in contact with any portion of enclosure 14 as vehicle 10 is backed towards trailer 80.
The operator is able to back vehicle 10 directly under the forward portion of trailer 80 by referring to the position of the trailer and hitch 82 in the vehicle rearview mirror (which is located at the center line of vehicle 10). As vehicle 10 is placed in reverse, backup lights 50b, 52 and 54 are illuminated, providing additional lighting and assisting the operator in the hitching operation. Light 54, also referred to herein as towed vehicle alignment means, is positioned to provide a gun-sight type alignment indication with socket 100 when vehicle 10 and trailer 80 are properly aligned. Proper alignment may be made with reference to light 54 and socket 100 through the inside rear view mirror of vehicle 10, alleviating the need for the driver to contort as vehicle 10 is backed. As the inside rear view mirror is generally mounted on the vehicle centerline, more accurate backing is possible than if the driver twisted and attempted to directly, visually align socket 100 and ball 38.
If, during the course of backing the vehicle, light 122 is illuminated, the operator stops the vehicle until the light goes out. Illumination of light 122 is an indication that there is inadequate clearance between the base of socket 100 and the upper surface of enclosure 14. When circuit 138 is configured as thus far described, illumination of light 122 also results in operation of jack screw assembly 146 and the subsequent raising of the front end of trailer 80. The front end of the trailer will raise until deflectable portion 116 is no longer deflected and contact at switch 118 is broken. The warning signal generated by switch 118 will then cease, light 122 will go out and jack screw assembly 146 will stop.
The operator will then continue backing until light 122 is again illuminated and the cycle repeats. Enclosure 14 is configured such that rear portion 40 and the area of portion 34 aft of well 36 are lower than the level of portion 34 forward of well 36. Additionally, a rim 36a is provided as part of well 36 and is constructed to deflect portion 116 as socket 100 is directly positioned over ball 38.
Light 54 is provided to illuminate hitch 82 as the hitch is positioned over well 36 in order that the driver can see the position of the hitch relative to the well.
Once deflectable portion 116 has cleared the rear edge of well 36, the next object which it will contact is lip 36a, once again illuminating light 122 and advising the operator that hitch 82 is properly positioned over ball 38.
At this point, the operator changes switch 176 to the hitch position, which completes a circuit to hitch jack screw 96 through terminal switch 136A, thereby lowering extensible portion 98.
Hitch jack screw 96 will continue to operate until traveling arm 90 and extensible portion 98 reach their full down position, shifting switch 136 contacts to the B terminal, thereby energizing the B and E terminals of switch 142 and extending solenoid 128. The extension of solenoid 128 shifts the position of down lock 132 and also shifts, when down lock 132 is fully engaged, the contacts on switch 142 thereby energizing terminal 142F, terminal 152A and causing jack screw assembly 146 to raise leg 150. Leg 150 continues to raise until rod 154 contacts switch 152, shifting the contact to terminal 152B, stopping assembly 146 and energizing terminals 109B and 109F. Energizing terminal 109F causes solenoid 106 to shift dog 102 to a locked position, after which, switch 109 is thrown to make an A-C and B-E contact.
This completes the hitching sequence. The operator must then connect the safety chains and connect the trailer to the truck electrical supply in order to operate the lights and brakes on the trailer.
Once the vehicles have reached their destination, and the trailer has been properly positioned at its site, the vehicles may be unhitched. This procedure is initiated by depressing unhitch switch 178. This energizes switch 140 (normally closed) and terminals A-C of switch 109. Solenoid 106 is energized to shift, thereby unlocking dog 102 and shifting, upon full throw of arm 108, switch 109, energizing terminal 109D and, in turn, terminal 164A and jack screw assembly 146, thereby raising the front end of trailer 80, removing the weight of the trailer from ball 38.
When the front of the trailer is lifted slightly, hitch sensor pin 158 is urged to its down position, throwing switch 164 to terminal 164B, and energizing terminal 136B and terminal 142A-D. This causes arm 130 of solenoid 128 to retract, thereby shifting down lock 132 to its unlocked position, throwing switch 142, thereby energizing terminal 142C and hitch jack screw 96, causing extensible portion 98 to raise. As extensible portion 98 raises, sensor 114 is shifted to its operating position. Additionally, traveling arm 90 raises until it contacts sensor switch 140, opening the switch and breaking the circuit, and stopping jack screw 96.
At this point, the safety chains and electrical cord are disconnected between the trailer and the truck and the truck may be driven away free of the trailer. Slider 155 is positioned to indicate the level of leg 150 relative to housing 148. The trailer will be adjusted to this position prior to being rehitched to vehicle 10.
Front to back leveling of the trailer may be accomplished at this time. Switch 172 is depressed to energize mercury level switch 170. If contact is made at terminal 170A, it is an indication that the front of the trailer is too high, and jack screw 146 is energized to retract leg 150, thereby lowering the front end of the trailer.
Conversely, if contact is made at terminal 170B, it is an indication that the front of the trailer is too low and jack screw 146 is energized to raise the front of the trailer. Once the trailer is level, switch 170 breaks the circuit, ceasing operation of jack screw 146.
Thus a secured enclosure for a vehicle used to pull a fifth wheel trailer and a hitch for the trailer have been described. The invention provides additional watertight storage for objects which an RV user may wish to bring along, but does not otherwise have storage facilities for inside a trailer. The use of a hitch as described enables full utilization of the secured enclosure.
Although a preferred embodiment and a modification thereof have been disclosed, it should be appreciated that further modifications and variations may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention.

by Nathaniel Darnell of Persevero News - Women Against Feminism"A man has no right to define for himself what his wife will do to please him. He must adopt Christ's ideas, as revealed in Scripture, for what a wife must do to be a helpmeet to a husband and for what he must do to love her. Ephesians 5 tells us that this entails him giving up his life for her as Christ does for His Bride the Church. This involves a tremendous amount of unselfishness. It is a spending and being spent for her. What the authority of a man over his wife amounts to is that he is ultimately responsible for what goes wrong in his family.
