In announcing, though not naming, a successor at Berkshire Hathaway, US billionaire Warren Buffett moved Saturday to shore up concerns about the future of his investment firm amid rare criticisms of a man seen by many as a model baron of industry.
Hailed for promoting his Giving Pledge, a promise by the super-rich to donate their wealth to charity after their deaths, and commended more recently by many Democrats for his call for wealthy investors to pay the same tax rate as middle-class Americans, Buffett has become the paragon of a billionaire with a heart.
Buffett's announcement to shareholders on Saturday that he had found a specific successor to run Berkshire Hathaway after his retirement or death came after a fourth quarter that saw Berkshire profits drop by 30 percent, largely because of bets on volatile real estate derivatives.

While the firm, which owns over 70 companies – from railroads to chocolate-makers -- and also invests in Wall Street stocks, outpaced the Standard & Poor's average for the 39th year in a row, uncertainty about succession at the company has, according to some experts, plagued its worth.
Buffett said in a 22-page letter to shareholders on Saturday that he has no plans to leave the company, but that the board of directors has agreed on a specific person to run the firm once Buffett steps down. Buffett wrote that "when a transfer of responsibility is required, it will be seamless, and Berkshire's prospects will remain bright."
Outside of Wall Street, Buffett's public persona has grown over the last year as he's emerged as a key economic adviser to President Obama, who named a plan to raise the tax rate for investment income over $1 million to mirror payroll tax rates for the middle class the "Buffett Rule." Buffett, who received the Medal of Freedom from Obama last year, famously said he shouldn't pay taxes at a lower rate than his secretary.
The proposal came after Buffett, a spry octogenarian, wrote a strongly-worded op-ed in the New York Times last year, which played into a national conversation spawned by the Occupy Wall Street movement about income inequality.
"I would leave rates for 99.7 percent of taxpayers unchanged and continue the current 2-percentage-point reduction in the employee contribution to the payroll tax. This cut helps the poor and the middle class, who need every break they can get," Buffett wrote last year in the New York Times op-ed. "But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate."
"My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress," he wrote. "It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice."
But as Buffett moved to shore up succession at Berkshire, his public profile also took some unusual hits. Frustration with Buffett's appeals for others to pay higher taxes boiled over when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Piers Morgan's CNN show that Buffett "should just write a check and shut up" instead of advocating for higher tax rates.
"The fact of the matter is that I'm tired of hearing about it," Gov. Christie said. "If he wants to give the government more money, he's got the ability to write a check — go ahead and write it."
That rebuke gave an opening to media critics, who contend that Buffett has been uncritically hailed as an impartial voice of reason by supporting a number of Obama White House gambits, including industrial bailouts, even while he stood to profit from some of those initiatives. Buffett says he makes investment decisions based on data available to every other investor.
Citing an Obama administration foreclosure settlement with Bank of America that boosted Buffett's BofA holdings by $154 million overnight, libertarian commentator Matt Welch of Reason magazine, wrote on CNN, "The man who has become the left's favorite billionaire in the service of bashing plutocrats could be perceived as the single most successful crony capitalist in the country."
In his shareholder letter, Buffett also criticized himself for spending $2 billion on a bond purchase "that tanked shortly after our purchase and remains depressed ... [I]n tennis parlance, this was a major unforced error by your chairman."
But despite an unusually rough week for the "Oracle of Omaha," there's little doubt that Buffett's unique brand of billionaire populism continues to resonate. A majority of Americans support Buffett's broader notion of raising taxes on the super-rich. A January CBS News/New York Times poll found that 55 percent of Americans believe that the rich pay too little in taxes.

Part of my role in IBM MobileFirst is developing an ecosystem of partners around IBM's market-leading enterprise mobility solutions. This week at IBM Impact, I met dozens of partners who are entering or fully into the mobile market, on the second wave of mobile.
One common question is, what's different now? Mobile has been around for years.
The answer is that the market is maturing rapidly, and now is the time for organizations to adopt a mobile strategy, rather than just a series of tactics. I talk to companies or partners who say that organizations are moving beyond the disposable apps and mobile-enabled websites of "mobile 1.0" towards a full application lifecycle management approach. They are looking for ways to enhance the mobile customer experience. That is what IBM MobileFirst is all about.
This week at Impact, our mobile keynote highlighted five key trends in mobile. Industry analyst Maribel Lopez captured them in her Forbes column. I was also pleased to see the subject article by CRN's Rick Whiting, highlighting partner Perficient. Perficient has been an IBM partner for many years, and those of you who are Notes customers will likely know of them as well. This week they announced their new mobile practice:
Too many customers view mobility as an add-on to their IT systems, [General Manager Vishal] Rajpal said. "We've been trying to tell them to think of mobile as the first platform. They should step back and see the mobility play as a key part of their IT system. We've been preaching that message for awhile," he said.But the key quote from the article demonstrates the opportunity for all IBM business partners to come along to MobileFirst.
That's fueling demand for the up-front consulting and system design services Perficient offers, as well as the software development, integration and deployment services that come later. That also ties into the solution provider's vertical industry practices, Rajpal said.
Rajpal said the solution provider is building its mobile practice around IBM because of several key mobile technologies the vendor acquired in recent years including the Worklight mobile application platform, Green Hat cloud software testing tools, BigFix endpoint management system, and Cast Iron cloud/on-premise application integration software.Link: CRN: Solution Provider Perficient Launches Mobile Computing Practice >
"IBM has one of the most comprehensive product sets around mobile," Rajpal said. "I think they've put together a really strong story with their mobile platform."

Apostle Thaddeus of the Seventy
Saint Thaddeus, Apostle of the Seventy, was by descent a Hebrew, and he was born in the Syrian city of Edessa. The holy Apostle Thaddeus of the Seventy must be distinguished from Saint Jude, also called Thaddeus or Levi (June 19), who was one of the Twelve Apostles.
When he came to Jerusalem for a feastday, he heard the preaching of John the Forerunner. After being baptized by him in the Jordan, he remained in Palestine. He saw the Savior, and became His follower. He was chosen by the Lord to be one of the Seventy Disciples, whom He sent by twos to preach in the cities and places where He intended to visit (Luke. 10: 1).
After the Ascension of the Savior to Heaven, Saint Thaddeus preached the good news in Syria and Mesopotamia. He came preaching the Gospel to Edessa and he converted King Abgar, the people and the pagan priests to Christ. He backed up his preaching with many miracles (about which Abgar wrote to the Assyrian emperor Nerses). He established priests there and built up the Edessa Church.
Prince Abgar wanted to reward Saint Thaddeus with rich gifts, but he refused and went preaching to other cities, converting many pagans to the Christian Faith. He went to the city of Beirut to preach, and he founded a church there. It was in this city that he peacefully died in the year 44. (The place of his death is indicated as Beirut in the Slavonic MENAION, but according to other sources he died in Edessa. According to an ancient Armenian tradition, Saint Thaddeus, after various tortures, was beheaded by the sword on December 21 in the Artaz region in the year 50).

"I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday, sweet and fragrant, between its leaves." – L.M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island (1915).
R. spinosissima 'Altaica' — Cream to white blooms with yellow stamens. Flowers form along the entire stem (instead of at the ends). Blooms early in the spring season and will cover the entire bush, resembling a mound of snow. The plant is upright, bushy, prickly and will reach 4 to 6 feet.
What is an antique rose? Sometimes antique roses are called heirloom, heritage, vintage or old garden roses. Whatever your preference of terminology, they are a wonderful class of roses whose date of introduction precedes 1867. They are extremely fragrant, grow without chemicals, and are adaptable in a wide variety of growing conditions. They can create a mood of romance, or nostalgia, stirring up sentimental memories of your grandmother's yard with sprawling roses on the fence or trellis.
'Alba Maxima', also known as the "the great double white," can be grown as a climber, reaching 8 to 10 feet high. Being disease resistant, hardy and beautiful, it is a lovely addition to any garden.
'Königin von Dänemark' is one my favorites. Beautiful, light pink, very double blooms that are fragrant. The bush is disease free and winter hardy.
Antique roses are a delightful piece of living history. They have endured the trials of time—found growing in old cemeteries or abandoned homesteads, surviving decades without human care or maintenance. While momentarily forgotten or replaced by newer remontant varieties, antique roses have prevailed.
As we move towards a "greener" earth, antique roses are making a strong comeback in modern gardens. They are easy to care for, resistant to disease, winter hardy with nice floral performance and fit comfortably in borders and perennial beds without seeming out of place.
There is great diversity in the antique rose classes: Understanding their personalities will help you choose the right rose for your garden. All rose recommendations are well known and suitable in USDA Zones 5 and 6. In addition, they all can be planted in the early fall.
Old Roses: Species (wild or native) and their hybrid counterparts
Species are wild flowering shrubs. Generally, they have a simple flower form of four to eight petals and drench themselves in blooms from late spring to early summer. Environmentally friendly, the flower provides pollen for bees and their prickly stems provide safe havens for the birds to build a nest. Rose hips (seed pods) produced after flowering provide winter interest for landscapers and a healthy food source for various wildlife. Because of their role in the food chain, species roses are often included in food forest and land restoration projects.
R. gallica versicolor 'Rosa Mundi' is an eye-catcher in the garden with semi-double pink flowers, striped with white. The bush is compact and suitable for smaller gardens. It is a sport or a mutation of the R. gallica officinalis 'Apothecary's Rose'.
'La Belle Sultane' is less known than some other Gallica roses, but provides a striking color contrast of violet to deep-crimson blooms. Long canes and attractive foliage provide movement and contrast in a mixed perennial border.
Gallica roses
Gallica roses (Rosa gallica) are native to southern and central Europe, being one of the oldest classes of garden roses. They were cultivated by the Greeks and Romans for their medicinal benefits and were used to treat nearly everything from war injuries to common headaches. Empress Josephine, Napoleon's first wife (in the early 1800s), managed a magnificent rose garden at her Chateau de Malmaison. The empress collected roses from around the world with two-thirds being Rosa gallica.
Gallica roses tend to be smaller shrubs, 2 to 4 feet tall, and once blooming. They are semidouble to very heavily petaled (100 petals), pink to brilliant purple and wonderfully fragrant. They are extremely winter hardy and actually prefer cooler climates over temperate Zones. They are easy to grow in poor or gravely soil and full sun.
Damask roses
Dating back to biblical times, Damask roses (Rosa × damascena) are the queen of fragrance. With their delectable perfume, it is no surprise Damask roses are regarded as symbols of love and beauty. Flowers are utilized by the perfume and cosmetic industries for their "attar" or essential oils. In Eastern cultures, they are often used as culinary spices, herbal teas, jams or desserts. Because of their remarkable qualities, Damask roses have been used extensively in hybridization programs and have given rise to thousands of new rose varieties.
Damask roses in the right climate may grow 7 feet tall — definitely much taller than Gallica roses, but are just as hardy. Their growth habit is sprawling with open airy branches and small clusters of blooms. Their colors range from shades of light to medium pink, with a few light reds. A few varieties will bloom twice a year with the first flush being the most spectacular.
Alba roses
Alba roses (Rosa hybrid) are a small class of antique roses, dating back to the Roman Empire. Alba roses are the easiest to grow, even tolerating some dappled shade. They are very winter hardy, have good disease resistance and are deliciously fragrant. They are vigorous, growing 5 to 8 feet in one season. Their canes can be lanky. As their name implies, Albas are mostly white to very pale pink.
'Fantin-Latour' is an outstanding "cabbage rose" or centifolia. It captured the hearts of the Dutch Master painters, displaying large, light pink and heavily petaled blooms. Blooming in the spring on a hardy bush with few prickles, it emits a lovely fruity fragrance.
Centifolia roses
Centifolia roses (Rosa × centifolia) are closely related to the Damask roses, Intensely fragrant, but not nearly as old. They are thought to be the product of Dutch breeders in the 17th and early 18th century. Resembling peonies, these antique roses have about 100 petals. Much revered for their beauty, Centifolia roses were found in the paintings and art works of the Dutch Masters. Typically appearing in various shades of pink, the blooms tend to be heavy, globular or cup-shaped. Having a rather lanky growth, their canes will arch and flower heads may nod. A little support with a peony cage will help keep them off the ground, especially if it rains.
Moss roses
Moss roses (Rosa hybrid), not to be confused with the annual plant rose moss (Portulaca grandiflora), are thought to be mutations or sported Centifolia or Damask roses. They display a fuzzy growth (moss-like) on their sepals, calyx and a portion of the stems. The reason for the genetic mutations is a mystery. This fascinating characteristic was then crossed and bred into new varieties. A Moss rose in the garden is destined to become a conversation piece.
The original five
These five types are the original antique roses. They have some color limitations, with only a few yellow and no orange varieties. However, their calming array of pink colors and relaxed growth habit allows them to blend easily into most modern gardens. Some claim it is a disadvantage that most of these original antique roses only bloom once per season. They provide a lot of bloom all at once for three to four weeks in the spring, strutting a spectacular display. We don't ask, nor expect more, from our rhododendrons or viburnums.
Beautiful antique roses used as a hedge give privacy, versatility and striking nostalgic charm.
My favorite antique roses
R. rugosa 'Alba'
R. spinosissima 'Altaica'
Gallica roses
R. gallica officinalis 'Apothecary's Rose' — blooms are a semi-double deep pink to fuchsia with a strong fragrance.
Damask roses
'Celsiana' — is a semi-double light pink with bright yellow stamens.
'Madame Hardy' — is a classic Damask, very double, pure white with a green button-eye center.
Centifolia roses
Alba roses
'Madame Plantier' — blooms are white, very double with a green eye. Resembling 'Madame Hardy' in color and center, except the flowers are smaller and tend to cluster.Moss roses
'Salet' — is one of the best Moss roses on the market. It is fully double, bright pink with strong fragrance and will repeat bloom. A sweet compact shrub that is suitable for smaller gardens.
Antique rose care
Antique roses are easy to grow. Some old garden roses have survived for years with complete neglect. However, the more you put into the rose plant, the more you can expect to get back. Antiques or modern roses all perform better in full sun (a minimum of six hours, with eight hours or more preferred). They love morning sun, but will do well in southern and western exposures. When picking a garden site, avoid nearby trees, shrubs or aggressive plants, whose roots may become invasive and compete with the rose for water and nutrients.
Antique roses can be planted in the early fall or spring. Whether bare-root or potted, the same principles apply. Preparing the garden beds in advance is recommended, but not required. Add a generous supply of organic matter, such as compost, well-rotted horse manure, shredded leaves or grass clippings. Almost any soil type will benefit from adding organic matter. Roses prefer well-drained soils. By preparing beds in the fall, the soil and added amendments have a chance to blend, while beneficial soil microbes have time to mature. Fall planting is perfectly acceptable and preferred by many rose growers. Plant early, about six weeks before the first frost, so the roots have ample time to get anchored. Provide a little extra winter mulch for protection.
Budded or grafted roses should be planted at the union, just below the surface of the soil. For an own-root potted rose, the rose should be carefully removed from the pot with as much root and soil intact as possible. The soil line of the potted rose should be even with the natural soil line of the garden bed.
Mulch after planting. A 3 to 4 inch layer of mulch is recommended. Mulch will help to suppress weeds, reduce the spread of fungal diseases and retain soil moisture. Organic mulches (such as hardwood fines, pine straw, compost or shredded bark) will break down over time, adding humus and nutrients to the soil.
Antique roses require minimal pruning. Most antique roses bloom on second-year growth. Thus, pruning should be done shortly after the spring bloom, otherwise you will cut off next year's roses. Of course, dead or nonproductive stems can be removed anytime.

The Caucasus is one of 34 global biodiversity hotspots. The impressive diversity of plants and animals that can only be found in this region makes it a globally important place for biodiversity conservation. But climate change and unsustainable use of natural resources, such as poaching, illegal logging or overfishing are growing threats to this unique mosaic of life. IUCN's Southern Caucasus office, together with active participation of national governments, its eight member organizations and communities, has taken up the challenge to protect it.
Listen to Anja Wittich, Programme Coordinator from IUCN's Southern Caucasus office explain IUCN's conservation work in the region.
View photo gallery:
IUCN is coordinating a growing number of activities in the Southern Caucasus – the area covering Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia – to address challenges to sustainable development in the region and preserve its unique biodiversity.
IUCN's work focuses on the development of the protected area system and suitable governance types for existing and newly created protected areas. Other IUCN projects focus on forest governance, environmental legislation and sustainable use of natural resources.
Stretching between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus region is located at a biological crossroads.
"Here is the meeting point of species from Central and Northern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, and species found nowhere else in the world", says Anja Wittich, Programme Coordinator from IUCN's Southern Caucasus office.
This impressive diversity of species is the result of the region's unique topography with three major mountain chains separated by valleys and plains. This allows the development of a variety of microclimates, soils and vegetation.
The number of endemic species - that is species that can only be found in this region - is rarely seen in other parts of the world: around 1,200 plant species and more than 50 animal species are endemic to the area. The Caucasus is also home to many locally and globally threatened species such as the Caucasian tur (a mountain dwelling goat), the Armenian mouflon or the Caucasian leopard, whose numbers have dramatically declined due to habitat loss, poaching and decline of prey species.
But the Caucasus is also one of the world's most ethnically complex regions, with many serious conflicts that create significant challenges to conservation work.
"These are countries that are still developing their identities and economies so conservation is certainly not among the highest priorities," explains Anja.
Poverty is another serious problem in the region, strongly influencing the use of natural resources.
"If people go to the forest and cut trees, if they go poaching, if they don't care about the water they are using, this seriously affects the environment. But they do it to survive."
But IUCN wants to make sure that nature conservation contributes to enhancing the lives of local communities and so it seeks to engage them in its work.
"We work to change people's attitudes. We can achieve wide acceptance of conservation if people understand that it is not only a value in itself, but that it can help them improve their lives," Anja explains.

I'm with Infy on this one, City of God was a hyperkinetic, souless tour through Favella misery for the Cosmo elite... Lock stock and Two Smoking Barrels with Bossanova... and the Constant Gardener was equally awful..instead of building up character it went for the usual convoluted narrative shenanagins in a variety of filmstocks in order to engage with our cine-literate po-mo sensibilities (the kids wont stand for any of that atobtoc nonsense, y'know) and ended up a confused mess with no emotional centre that did justice to neither the central love story or the political dimension...plus... wasn't Rachael Thingy's initial rant at the press conference one of the most hamfisted (the hamfistedest?) Establishment-of-character moments in recent cinema?

it was already so clear that she wasnt having an affair. that bit was just stupid.
i dont think it even occured to me that it could be his child, thier relationship was so carefully left open that they had to be setting up a twist. then it dragged on and onnnnnnnn
for me that was a particular peak of swagness in the general morass.he's gay! So it's ok
how dyou know he's gay? he's hanging out with a guy in a photo! well... i'm convinced.
and his gayness is never anything more than the most obvious convenient way of asexualising him
substitute: "oh dont worry he was a born again christian!" or "he was castrated as a child!", and it becomes utterly ridiculous but gayness is still an uncrystalised meme. for most people, i guess, i mean to most people it maybe doesnt mean anything.
except a shite excuse for resolution.
the portrait of british people reminded me of renoirs 'grande illusion' europeans == boring boys own
and the locals were represented as so totally inactive, inarticulate, uninvolved and incidental to the real love story... i almost forgot who we're collectively murdering
i like the way this and city of god are kind of immune to film criticism for some leftist people since they tackle issues that more mainstream cinema should be tackling... i mean i dont /like\ it but, i think its sort of funny
still i'm sure it was better this way than if the treatment had fallen into the hands of some american superstars

back on recommendations::::::::::::::::::::::::
henry hills --------------- kino da.
nice short mashup of mayakovsky. nothing too difficult. no thought. just sonically pleasureable. i'd recommend his documentary(?) film Money, but its a bit long for something that i primarily want to leave to wash over me.
fassbinder --------------- plague gods.
saw this a little while ago... its from the early silly gangster-film period, before the sirk conversion. so i dont expect owen to have any time for it.
but if you secretly want to watch a high brow version of a brit gangster flick but dont want to rent city of god for fear of looking like a hippy, watch this instead.
be prepared for the joys of monotonous-drawl-speaking sloth-gangsters.
cassavettes ------------- husbands
every scene an interminable drunken nothing. did they ever even come to london at all? it seems doubtful.
jenny runacre in drawn out uncomfortably conscentual rape scene.
cassavettes is a fucking man-hating genius! what was kathleen hanna on about?
watching that was like getting punched in the face, over and over. good tho!Originally Posted by h-crimm
1) morvern callar? theyre showing that at a cinema round ere next week. how is it?
2) i really want to go to the cinema today, actually, but havent got a clue what to see. i have a choice between multiplex (take yr pick, they all show the same stuff) and this list: Chicken Little (U), Good Night, And Good Luck. (PG), Hidden (Cache) (15), Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (15), Lady Vengeance (18), Me and You and Everyone We Know (15), Proof (12A), The Libertine (18)
i havent been to the cinema for SO LONG and i usually love it (even shite feels good when it's really large, i can only really think of three films which i have come out hating), so i think i need a break...?
Lady Vengance is awesome, like everything else i have seen by Chan-wook Park. However, this kind of filmmaking is not to everyone's taste. also, despite a similar theme, the film tastes quite different from the utterly magnificent Oldboy!Originally Posted by don_quixote

i went to see lady vengeance and liked it a lot. i was worried it didnt know where to finish, but the ending turned out to be great!
I adore Morvern Callar. There's a good thread about the director and the rest of her work in a thread here.Originally Posted by don_quixote
As far as recommendations go, today I would put forward Rize . Its a documentary by David LaChapelle about a dance style called Krumping (kidz wearing make-up dancing crazily to hip-hop in LA). A very interesting film which is definately worth a look. Given that the actual dancing is so interesting to watch on its own, I expect a DVD with extended footage could make a good rental. The stories followed in the film were actually quite thin and not heavily expanded upon, which was a bit of a shame, however the footage of the dancing was so outstanding at times that it made up for this shortfall. It was also a bit annoying that all the music was over-dubbed, so you couldn't tell exactly how the dance fitted to the music. Still made a good watch though.
(there's also a dissensus thread on krumping here. )
man, i thought old boy was a total waste of time.
I also recommend Morvern Callar, worth watching more than once.
agreed. Chan-wook Park's other films in the revenge trilogy show examples of both: Oldboy has one of the most amazing ends in film history, while "sympathy for mr vengance"'s -- stil a great film -- end doesn't quite live up to the rest of its plot.Originally Posted by don_quixote
incidentally, do you think the last 3 scenes (Geum-ja Lee meets -- in this beautiful room with wooden tiles -- the child she helped kidnap as a child metamorphosing into a young man, blowing smoke; her daughter jenny waking up in bed with the fosterparents noting smoke; finally jenny as a barefoot, white-clad angle in the smoke) is about vengance (through jenny's dead) by fate on Geum-ja for the kidnapping?
Looking forward to Lady of Vengance alright..
On a totally different buzz - saw this in an art gallery in Barcelona 3 years ago and was blown away... - funny that I had to travel across Europe to find out about it when the man himself was born just a few miles from my gaf...
Links and BlurbSamuel Becketts only venture into the medium of cinema, Film was written in 1963 and filmed in New York in the summer of 1964, directed by Alan Schneider and featuring Buster Keaton. For the shooting Mr. Beckett made his only trip to America. The film, which has no dialogue, takes its basis Berkeleys theory Esse est percepti, that is to be is to be perceived: even after all outside perception -- be it animal, human or divine -- has been suppressed, self perception remains. Film was edited by Sydney Meyers and the cinematography was by Boris Kaufman, both of whom were preeminent in their fields. Film was produced by Barney Rosset and Evergreen Theater.
Video clip
Beckett's 'Film' is fantastic alright...apparently, while they were making it, Beckett and Schneider realised the chair in the room had two 'eye' holes in the top part of the design and so incorporated them into the series of perceiving eyes that haunt Buster Keaton. Marvellous. Best use of animals in a short film ever too.
agred. RiZe is pretty to look at.Originally Posted by tox
there;s a shortage of dancing (in a generalised sense) in movies. i dont understand why. the combination of bodily movement to rhythms and film should be an explosive stylistic combination, and music videos and ballet have already paved the way for this, but it's rarely used by filmmakers. shame!

WASHINGTON – Sgt. Myoung S. Fisher, human resources specialist at the Maryland National Guard, has never served in combat, but she's enthusiastic about the new opportunity for women.
"Women should feel like they can now serve their country in whichever way they choose to serve, which is on the front lines, behind a desk, in a motor pool, etc. There's no limits," Fisher said.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed a memo Thursday rescinding a 1994 rule banning military service women from holding direct ground combat positions.
"Everyone, men and women alike, everyone is committed to doing the job. They're fighting and they're dying together, and the time has come for our policies to recognize that reality," Panetta said, adding that 152 women have died serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In February 2012, changes to the same 1994 barrier opened up more than 14,000 ground combat positions to women. Thursday's move begins an incremental process to open all service and special operations command positions to women who meet gender-neutral performance standards.
The new rules will affect the 6,400 members of the Maryland National Guard. The Maryland Army Guard is 16 percent female and the Maryland Air Guard is 18 percent female.
Nearly 20 percent of Army Guard positions, many in infantry, cavalry and Special Forces are closed to women. The Air Guard is more open, with less than 1 percent of its positions closed to women.
Lt. Col. Charles Kohler, public affairs officer at the Maryland National Guard, partially attributes the new policy to changes on the battlefield.
"Today's modern battlefield is all over the area, it's not as defined as it used to be. So women are finding themselves in combat," he said.
At the Maryland National Guard, training schools formerly limited to men will soon become accessible to women, including Army Ranger school, Kohler said.
Under the new policy, performance standards for most positions will be the same for both men and women.
For example, in order to earn a United States Army Expert Infantryman Badge, available only to men, the men at the Maryland National Guard have to receive at least 80 points on a physical fitness test, finish a 12-mile-foot march within three hours while carrying up to 70 lbs. of equipment, and complete a day or night land navigation course.
Lt. Gregg T. Zavadsky, education officer at the Maryland National Guard, sees gender-neutral standards as an important part of the shift.
"If you're going to have a female soldier that's expected to do the same jobs as male soldiers, I think they should be willing and able to meet the same standard," he said.
To Zavadsky that means decision-making on the ground should remain unchanged.
"Decisions are made based on the environment and not the individual soldiers who fall under your command," he said.
Zavadsky expects the transition for the military in general, and the Guard specifically, to be smooth.
"I really don't think it will be any issue in the future. It's going to be a change from what we have now, but obviously as a soldier you're trained to adapt to change in any environment," he said.
Maryland representatives also weighed in on the Defense Department's decision to lift the ban.
"America's military is the greatest in the world and it has been made stronger today with the promise of equal opportunity for women and men," Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said in a statement.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Mechanicsville, compared the move to the September 2011 repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy banning gays from serving in the military.
"Our military is made stronger when it welcomes the service of all brave Americans willing to fight for their country," Hoyer said. "This is another step toward a fully inclusive military, and our nation will be better for it."

I think I can get used to this. The NuKitchenmeal delivery service is like having a personal chef deliver food to my dooreach morning!
For my first day, my menu consisted of:
- Breakfast: French Toast with Berry Coulis and Egg Scramble
- Lunch: Green Tea Marinated Chicken with Green Tea Soba Noodles & Snap Peas
- Dinner: Szechuan Marinated Grilled Flank Steak with Spicy Noodles and Sesame Broccoli with Toasted Cashews
- Two snacks – Mizuna Salad with Jicama, Carrots & Sesame Vinaigrette...and a Blondie!
Not only were the meals delicious, but they were perfectly prepared. The steak was an ideal medium rare, even after I heated it in the microwave for 2 minutes. The blondie was sweet and gooey and more than satisfying.
I was a bit hungry the first day, but that's to be expected on the first day of any diet.
The food showed up in its own cooler bag, with 2 dry ice packs. The directions were a bit confusing because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to keep the food in there all day, or move the items to the refrigerator (it was the latter). I had to call to find out but they were pleasant and helpful. I then had to leave the bag where the deliver person could retrieve it the next morning.
It was nice to not worry about what I was going to eat that day, and not having to cook at all. Instead of grabbing something -- anything! -- I felt comforted knowing I had a portion-controlled meal that was made just for me that day.
I'm actually excited to see what arrives tomorrow!

Biography CLOSE THE FULL BIOGRAPHY
After some stage and film experience in England, Colman moved to the USA in 1920. Though a formidable romantic lead in the silent era, it was with the sound film that Colman best asserted himself. His suavity and exceptional good looks coupled with his engaging, beautifully modulated, crushed velvet voice made him the perfect hero of many adventure movies, though he was also adept at comedy and romantic drama.

Ronald Colman (February 9, 1891 – May 19, 1958) was an Oscar-winning English actor. Born in Richmond, Surrey, England, the son of Charles Colman and his wife Marjory Read Fraser, he was educated in Littlehampton, where he discovered his enjoyment in acting. He intended to attend Cambridge University to study engineering, but his father's death put an end to that. A became a well-known amateur actor, and was a member of the West Middlesex Dramatic Society in 1908-9. He made his first appearance on the professional stage in 1914. Upon the outbreak of The Great War in August 1914 he joined the Territorial Army and served in the London Scottish Regiment with fellow actors Claude Rains, Herbert Marshall and Basil Rathbone. He was seriously wounded at the first battle of Messines. 31st October 1914, and invalided from the Service in 1916. He had sufficiently recovered to appear at the London Coliseum on June 19, 1916, as Rahmat Sheikh in The Maharani of Arakan, with Lena Ashwell; at the Playhouse in September that year as Stephen Weatherbee in Charles Goddard & Paul Dickey's play The Misleading Lady; at the Court Theatre in March 1917 he played Webber in Partnership and at that theatre the following year appeared in Eugene Brieux's play, adapted from the French, Damaged Goods; at the Ambassador Theatre in February 1918 he played George Lubin in The Little Brother, and during 1918 toured as David Goldsmith in The Bubble. In 1920 he Colman went to America and toured with Robert Warwick in The Dauntless Three, and subsequently toured with Fay Bainter in East is West; at the Booth Theatre, New York, in January 1921 he played the Temple Priest in William Archer's play The Green Goddess, with George Arliss; at the 39th Street Theatre in August 1921 he appeared as Charles in The Nightcap; and in September 1922 he made a great success as Alain Sergyll at the Empire Theatre, New York in the hit play La Tendresse. Ronald Colman had first appeared in films in England in 1917 and 1919 under Cecil Hepworth, and subsequently with the old Broadwest Film Company in The Snow of the Desert. While appearing on stage in New York in La Tendress, Director Henry King saw him, and engaged him as the leading man in the 1923 film, The White Sister, opposite Lillian Gish, and was an immediate success. Thereafter Colman virtually abandoned the stage for film. He became a very popular silent film star in both romantic and adventure films, and successfully made the transition to "talkies" because of his elegant and sonorous speaking voice. His first major talkie success was in 1930, when he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for two roles — Condemned and Bulldog Drummond. He thereafter appeared in a number of notable films including Raffles, The Masquerader, Clive of India, A Tale of Two Cities in 1935, Under Two Flags,The Prisoner of Zenda and Lost Horizon in 1937, If I Were King in 1938, and The Talk of the Town in 1941. He won the Best Actor Oscar in 1948 for A Double Life. Beginning in 1945, Colman made many guest appearances on The Jack Benny Program on radio, alongside his second wife, Benita Hume (1906-1967). Their comedy work as Benny's next-door neighbors led to their own radio comedy The Halls of Ivy from 1950 to 1952, and then on television from 1954 to 1955. Ronald Colman died on 19 May 1958, aged 67, from a lung infection in Santa Barbara, California and was interred in the Santa Barbara Cemetery. He had a daughter, Juliet, by his second wife. He has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for motion pictures at 6801 Hollywood Blvd. and one for television at 1625 Vine Street. Hollywood actor Christopher Walken, whose original first name was Ronald, was named after Ronald Colman.

Doing Our Part to Conserve Biodiversity and
Sustainably Use Biological Resources
[Download the PDF version; 218 Kb | Help on accessing documents in PDF format]
Canadians recognize the need to maintain a healthy environment and are concerned about the degradation of ecosystems and the loss of species and genetic diversity which result from human activities.
The Government of Canada, with support from provincial and territorial governments, signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992, believing it to be a very important global and national instrument for promoting and guiding efforts to conserve biodiversity to use biological resources sustainably.
As soon as the Convention was ratified, work on a Canadian Biodiversity Strategy began to determine the measures which were required to meet the obligations of the Convention and to enhance coordination of national efforts aimed at the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of biological resources.
The primary responsibility for conserving biodiversity and ensuring the sustainable use of biological resources is shared among provincial, territorial and federal governments. Therefore, an intergovernmental Biodiversity Working Group, with representation from every jurisdiction, was established to develop the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy by the end of 1994. Private property owners, businesses, indigenous people, conservation organizations, research institutions, foundations, and other groups also play an essential role in conserving biodiversity and sustainably using biological resources. Thus, a national non-governmental Biodiversity Advisory Group was established to provide advice to the Working Group.
The Strategy clearly recognizes that governments cannot act alone to ensure the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of biological resources and therefore, invites and encourages all Canadians to take action in support of the Strategy. The Strategy recognizes that Canadians live in a global community, that co-operation with other countries is required to conserve biodiversity and sustainably use biological resources, and that Canada has an important role to play in cooperating with other countries, especially developing countries, to implement the Convention.
Conserving biodiversity and sustainably using biological resources are fundamental to achieving sustainable development. Governments, indigenous people, businesses, conservation groups, individual citizens and others have developed, or are developing, conservation and sustainable development strategies, policies and plans to work towards ecological, economic, social and cultural sustainability.
The Canadian Biodiversity Strategy reaffirms that, in Canada, governments must create the policy and research conditions that will lead to the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of biological resources. The provincial, territorial and federal governments, in cooperation with stakeholders and members of the public, will pursue the implementation of the strategic directions contained in the Strategy, in accordance with their policies, plans, priorities and fiscal capabilities.

Case studies on sexual orientation and gender expression in social work practice
Columbia University Press, Aug 30, 2006 - Political Science - 114 pages
This casebook focuses on sexual orientation and gender expression in relation to social work practice. An excellent resource, it offers 29 cases illustrating the variety of issues facing gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) people and communities in five practice settings-individuals, couples and families, communities and organizations, groups, and policy and research. The book also contains discussion questions, classroom exercises, and suggested readings for each case, so educators can easily integrate GLBT content into the classroom. "Case Studies on Sexual Orientation and Gender Expression in Social Work Practice" may be used on its own, in conjunction with another textbook, or as a complement to Deana F. Morrow and Lori Messinger's "Sexual Orientation and Gender Expression in Social Work Practice: Working with Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender People" (Columbia, 2006). Messinger and Morrow are award-winning teachers and their groundbreaking book is key for culturally competent undergraduate or graduate courses in practice, policy, human behavior and the social environment, research, and field education.

Google announced that it is readying its Web browser, Chrome, for Apple's new retina display laptops
"Apple recently announced a new laptop with a Retina high-resolution screen, and we're committed to polishing Chrome until it shines on that machine," wrote Nico Weber, a software engineer and "Chief Apple Polisher" on the Google Chrome blog. "We have further to go over the next few weeks, but we're off to the races to make Chrome as beautiful as it can be."
Google has been testing the new Chrome, called Chrome Canary, which can be seen on its own channel and downloaded.
U.S. & World
Chrome Canary is already visibly improved, according to Anandtech, and gives a much clearer picture of a Web page and is similar to Apple's Safari browser.
It's great that Google got on this project quickly, so it had something to report after Apple's big reveal. Chrome is a highly popular browser and should be an alternative to Apple's Safari.

SKF Oil Projection Systems for chain conveyors
Medium conveyors in airports and assembly linesThey face continuous operation to eliminate production slowdowns and maintain baggage flow. Chain wear caused by friction between chain elements and/or corrosion requires regular servicing and repair work – or even replacement of the entire chain. Such maintenance work interrupts the production process. Regular, accurate lubrication helps minimize chain wear and thus the need for servicing and repair.
SKF can help
SKF has developed a range of oil lubrication systems for chain conveyors. The systems can be controlled and monitored using control units or software. SKF assistance begins with planning and continues right up to the commissioning of the complete system. SKF Oil Projection Systems automatically lubricate chain pins, bushings, plates or rollers without contact between the projection nozzle and the chain. Advantages of this lubrication solution include:
- Prolonged mechanical service life of the chain and increases its availability
- Better compliance with work and safety regulations thanks to more precise lubrication
- Improved operator safety by reducing manual lubrication and chain maintenance
SKF VisioLub software for chain lubrication systems
Controlling and monitoring lubrication cycles helps prevent chain malfunction and breaks and reduce unplanned production stops. By identifying defective chain links, SKF VisioLub software facilitates active maintenance. This enables pro-active maintenance before a chain break can occur. SKF VisioLub software also contributes to reducing environmental impact by helping to eliminate the use of excess lubricants.

Bruce Nauman: Topological Gardens
Edited by Carlos Basualdo2009
240 pages, 40 b/w + 120 color illustrations, 8 1/2" x 9 1/2"
Softcover ISBN: 978-0-87633-217-7 With essays by Carlos Basualdo, Erica F. Battle, Marco De Michelis, and Michael R. Taylor One of the most complex and fascinating artists working today, Bruce Nauman (b. 1941) has assembled a mesmerizing body of work that encompasses video, installation, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and neon. In 2008, Nauman was unanimously selected to represent the United States at the 53rd Venice Biennale, in an exhibition organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibition, on view in Venice through November 22, 2009, has been awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for the Best National Participation. This is the first time since 1990 that the United States has received the coveted award. The accompanying catalogue explores the interconnections among several specific themes that have recurred prominently throughout four decades of Nauman's work. Linking the urban texture of Venice to the topological dimensions of his provocative art, the overarching project allows for an unprecedented occasion for the appreciation and exploration of Nauman's undeniable creativity and influence. Bruce Nauman: Topological Gardens includes texts by Erica Battle and Carlos Basualdo on the organization of the exhibition and the publication, featuring detailed discussions of the works in the show. Michael R. Taylor examines Nauman's practice in an art-historical context, and Marco De Michelis explores the notion of space as deployed throughout Nauman's oeuvre, with particular reference to the works on view. Carlos Basualdo is Curator of Contemporary Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Michael R. Taylor is the Muriel and Philip Berman Curator of Modern Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Marco De Michelis is Professor of the History of Architecture at the IUAV University of Venice. Erica Battle is a Project Curatorial Assistant at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Judy Reese Morse is chief of staff to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, working under a new deputy-mayor-based governing structure never used before in this city. In her leadership role, Morse is the highest-ranked African American, and woman, in the city. The Root spoke with her about the challenges her administration has faced in continuing the Katrina recovery, dealing with the BP oil spill disaste and managing a gaping budget deficit through it all.
The Root: New Orleans is facing a $79 million deficit. What are your biggest challenges figuring out how to plug that hole?
Judy Reese Morse: It will be very challenging, but we have to figure out how to address the budget shortfalls and still meet city services with the necessary workforce needed to do that. We didn't expect the deficit to be so large, and there are no good choices for getting it in line, but we'll have to make tough choices now to position ourselves for future growth.
TR: How did it get so big?
JRM: I think the biggest issue was the lack of budget management before, and it's one of the reasons the mayor has instituted a process called "budgeting for outcomes." This process is used in other cities and basically allows the allocations of dollars to service what the citizens themselves request and require. We have been having community meetings to hear what their budget priorities are. Of course, we are working with the city council and the mayor on his priorities to develop what our priorities will be for next year — and what the proper dollar allocation should be for those priorities.
TR: Speaking of plugging holes, what are the challenges you're facing from the BP oil spill in restoring economic confidence for the seafood and tourism industries?
JRM: We are very clear that we will have to deal with the impact of the oil spill for many years to come. It's such a shame and tragedy after Katrina for our residents to now have to deal with a major hit to the city's largest industry: tourism. The mayor has worked tirelessly since May 3 in protecting the city and the impacted industries. He specifically asked for $75 million from BP to mitigate the impact on tourism. We know that tourists will lose confidence. We saw this after 9/11 and Katrina, so it is important for us to do the proper amount of marketing to dispel any negative perceptions out there.
TR: The oil spill has renewed attention on stopping dependence on fossil fuels. How is your administration making New Orleans greener?
TR: Five years after Katrina, a lot of things haven't come back that served low-income residents — such as Charity Hospital, public housing — and some things have changed, like the school system. What is the administration doing to accommodate low-income residents in spite of these voids and changes?
JRM: Well, starting with housing, we have been working with [U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development] to rebuild public housing better than it was before the storm. With health care, New Orleans is a model for national health-care reform. There is a network of 87 primary health-care clinics across the city. Those clinics provide accessible, preventive care better than before. The charter-school movement is an important one, providing a great deal of school choices for families. So I think there are some good choices here for people who are looking to return to the city, as well as for those who've already returned.
TR: New Orleans is battling a notoriety for corruption. What are your feelings on government transparency and accountability?
JRM: Well, going back to our time in the lieutenant government's office, transparency has been extremely important to us. We want it; the citizens want it. So it is a top priority, and it is something we insist upon. It is a must.
TR: Explain the new deputy-mayor structure and why you believe it is the most effective way to govern New Orleans at the present time.
JRM: The deputy-mayor system was created to implement clear lines of authority and transparency. It allows for collaboration and integration across every department. We meet with the mayor at least three times a week to make sure we are delivering on the mayor's vision. It really allows citizens to know who best to direct their questions and concerns to and also [allows] us to make recommendations about what department is best suited to meet their needs.
This system has been implemented in New York, Los Angeles, Newark and Philadelphia. The mayor did speak with the mayors of those cities to learn how deputy-mayor systems work in practice, and based on his management style and vision, he figured this would be the most effective form of government for New Orleans.
JRM: This list is one of our administration's biggest achievements. We are proud of this list, and it was a challenging effort identifying the status of certain projects. But we were able to do that using the mayor's vision for place-based development, along with working with city council members to work on the priority needs in their districts. I believe it is a crown of hope for citizens who've worked so hard to bounce back after Hurricane Katrina to see such a commitment to this number of projects taking place across the city. It also serves as a good sign for investors who are looking at New Orleans, and it shows that the city is committed to the kinds of projects that will hopefully spur other kinds of investments across the city.
TR: The city's master plan was finally passed. Now what?
JRM: The city's master plan is an important part of the mayor's vision of place-based development and making sure that all communities across the city have schools, playgrounds, art, culture, and all the things needed to support growth and development. So the master plan serves as a foundation for that work. So next we work on the comprehensive zoning ordinance, which will work hand in hand with the master plan and allow us to make more strategic decisions about our capital projects and for economic development as well. The master plan will govern land use. Before, there was uncertainty about what people could build and where. Now it's all on paper with the force of law.
TR: You are the highest-ranking African American and woman in municipal office. Does the city provide enough opportunities for political leadership for African-American women?
JRM: New Orleans has had a number of black women in leadership over the last 30 years. I'm honored to join the ranks as a deputy mayor in this administration. There can never be enough women in politics, or in leadership positions, and so I certainly support those organizations that are training young women to be active in politics, in the community, and in the public and private sectors. I'm just very pleased to serve in this role, and I think that I bring a unique perspective to the work in city hall. I really believe in families and community and helping people improve their lives, and that is really what motivates me every day.
Brentin Mock, a frequent contributor to The Root, is based in New Orleans.

Inaugural Arkan-Salsa Festival wraps up in Springdale
Hundreds gather to enjoy good food, music for cause
The first Arkan-Salsa Festival wrapped up Saturday night in downtown Springdale.
Hundreds of people gathered Saturday to enjoy good food, great music and support a cause.
"(The event is about) promoting communities working together as one and also celebrating the kickoff of Arkansas's grade-level reading campaign, which our organization, One Community, is part of. (It's called) One Community Reads (or) Una Communidad Leiendo," said event organizer Diana Gonzalez.
The group helped put on the event, and to achieve its mission, has filled the festival with several nonprofit organizations that will provide literacy activities and resources for the children in the community.
"It's wonderful, because that is what community is. When you can bring the community together for the goal of our future and who's our future? Our children are our future," said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez said it brings a smile to her face to see hundreds of people of different ethnicity and backgrounds come out and support the event. She said the people, when brought together, are like salsa.
"When you make salsa, it has a little bit of every spice contained and that is really what our community is like now. It's important that we continue bringing the community together and focusing on education, health and leadership initiatives. Children are our future and that's what we are promoting," Gonzalez said.
Organizers also gave away books to children to help promote literacy and also held a salsa contests between 12 restaurants. The money raised will go to help support One Community scholars.

text: Three guys with little athletic ability strike a blow for everyone chosen last at recess in this comedy. Clark (Jon Heder), Gus (Rob Schneider), and Richie (David Spade) are three geeky guys who have spent most of their lives being humiliated by bullies and taunted by people with greater hand-eye coordination than they possess (which is nearly everyone). While the three guys love baseball, they've been treated like losers on the diamond ever since their days riding the pine in Little League. One day they stop by a softball field at a local park and a bunch of kids practicing for Little League tryouts try to heckle them into going home. Clark, Gus, and Richie challenge the kids to a game -- three against nine -- and miraculously don't entirely humiliate themselves. Mel (Jon Lovitz), a guy with an athletically-challenged son of his own, is impressed with the nerdy trio's nerve, and offers to set up a tournament in which the three inept grown-ups will take on the best Little League teams from around the state. Clark, Gus, and Richie accept the offer, and they soon become unlikely heroes to the bullied, clumsy, and awkward everywhere. The Benchwarmers also stars Craig Kilborn, Tim Meadows, Molly Sims and Reggie Jackson.

Q: Why can't I use lawn weed killers to clean up my pond's shoreline?
Kevin – Heath, OH
A: If you read the fine print on your favorite lawn weed killer and your favorite aquatic shoreline weed killer, you'll notice that they both contain the same active ingredient—glyphosate. This broad-spectrum herbicide works wonders in destroying actively growing foliage. In fact, it's one of the most popular weed destroyers out there.
Inert Ingredients
Just because the lawn weed killer and shoreline weed killer have the same active ingredient, however, doesn't mean you can use them interchangeably. You see, the inert or inactive ingredients used in the formulas are different. Those different ingredients make the shoreline chemicals safe around bodies of water and lawn chemicals unsafe around bodies of water.
By law, these differences and designated uses must be noted on the herbicide's label. The Environmental Protection Agency approves the label and warns consumers of any dangers. In fact, if you continue to read that fine print on your lawn weed killer's label, you'll find it says to not apply the product on or around water sources.
Stay Legal
If you're treating weeds around your pond or lake, be sure to use one that has been approved for use around water bodies, like Shoreline Defense® and Treatment Booster™ PLUS. When applied directly to the foliage, the aquatic herbicide safely destroys a range of weeds and grasses—including cattails—on the shoreline, beach or anywhere emergent weeds grow.
Like it or not, you should read your labels and use the right formula for the job. You'll be keeping your water supply safe, the government happy and your land legal.
Pond Talk: How carefully do you read the fine print on your lawn and aquatic herbicide's labels?

You Can Stamp It...but Can You Move It?
As with most investments, cost plays a critical role in selecting a conveyor system. However, when considering equipment cost, initial investment comprises only one aspect worth examining—other aspects to consider include operating expense and maintenance requirements. And another important factor, often overlooked: cost/performance ratio per dollar of investment. Balancing all of these variables allows for the design and build of a part- and scrap-handling system that will optimize productivity at a cost that is quickly recovered.
While many conveyor systems incorporate standard off-the-shelf components, the ultimate design of each is dictated by the unique application requirements. Accommodation must be made for the nature of the conveyed product, available floor space, type and performance of the production machines and, often, ambient temperatures or other special conditions.
Generally, to convey large parts or scrap—ferrous and nonferrous—vibratory (oscillating) or belt conveyors get the call, while magnetic chip and part conveyors find preference for conveying smaller ferrous products and chips. Permanent-magnet belt conveyors handle all sizes of ferrous material, from small to large stamped parts or scrap.
The Right Conveyor for Your Materials
The first issue to contemplate is the material being handled. While steel-, cloth- or rubber-belt conveyors can handle practically any stamped product, sharp edges on the conveyed product material can cut a cloth or rubber belt.
Hinged-belt conveyors provide efficient long-run handling of ferrous and nonferrous parts, press scrap, chips and turnings—hot or cold, wet or dry. These conveyors can combine horizontal and elevating movements to convey a range of products, from nested material to stampings, in large volumes. Maintenance costs, however, can be somewhat higher than for other conveyor types. And, small parts or scrap can jam in pinch points or work their under the belt, causing jams or premature wear, and possible downtime.
Magnets a Low-Maintenance Option
Magnetic conveyors offer an efficient and dependable method for handling ferrous materials. These units convey chips, nails, stampings, cans, small machined parts and related ferrous scrap efficiently and economically using magnetic power.
Permanent-magnetic chip and part conveyors handle many sizes of ferrous materials, including small parts, stampings, scraps or chips. Permanent magnets move inside of a liquid-tight submersible housing and attract, hold and convey the materials. A lack of any moving external parts prevents jams and helps minimize risk of operator injury. And, the material being handled slides along a stainless-steel slider bed, so, as with a vibratory conveyor, there is no belt to damage or jam.
Metalformers can develop a variety of magnetic-conveyor configurations, in many sizes and widths, to be assembled from standard sections. This allows simple and economical installation of units to service hard-to-reach areas under presses, mills, cutoff saws or other machines. Standard conveyors are available as straight horizontal units or with an angled incline as great as 90 deg. Models also are available with large, sweeping radii to elevate long, difficult-to-handle scrap or parts.
Advances in materials and the use of UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight) polyethylene track by some conveyor manufacturers have essentially eliminated maintenance issues related to conveyor tracks. With no external moving parts, magnetic chip and part conveyors typically require the least amount of maintenance of all conveyor types. Belt wear typically is less with magnetic conveyors than nonmagnetic, because parts remain stationary on the magnetic belt and have little chance of working their underneath the belt to cause wear.
Safer—for Operators and Parts
Magnetic-belt conveyors, similar in design to cloth- or rubber-belt conveyors with the addition of a permanent-magnetic rail mounted under the conveying surface of the belt, provide the flexibility of conveying parts vertically or even upside down. This flexibility proves critical where floor space is at a premium.
Safety also is optimized—the constant, strong magnetic force prevents products in process from flying off of the line on ascents or descents. Damage to parts is reduced since the products can't slide or change position. This eliminates pile-ups; it also prevents contact between items with sharp edges or with highly polished or painted surfaces.
Concern Over Lubricants
With a belt conveyor, the presence of a lubricant can cause parts or scrap to adhere to the belt, and also can cause the belt to slip on the pulleys. Additionally, material that sticks to the belt sometimes is brought back inside the conveyor housing and may trigger a jam. The use of dimpled surfaces and rough-top belts on belt conveyors can help deter material from sticking to the belt.
Lubrication also can affect the performance of vibratory and magnetic conveying equipment. Lubricant tends to make parts stick to the pan or tray, causing a buildup. Lube also may build up in the tray and form a pool; parts or scrap become wet and sticky. Here, to deter material from sticking, screen decks or perforated conveyor trays allow coolants and lubricants to drain off.
The thinner the material being conveyed, the more likely that lubricant will cause adhesion. Typically materials thicker than 11 gauge will not require screened or perforated slider surfaces.
Considering Size and Shape
To properly specify vibratory and magnetic conveying equipment, the manufacturer must know the size and weight of the material that will be on the tray. Trays should be at least 50 percent wider than the longest dimension of the material being fed.
Custom Solutions for Each Application
Since your product, plant, equipment and personnel are unique, your material-handling system may have to be unique as well. When considering a new process or reconfiguration of an existing line, consider all of the conveying-equipment options, as well as overall costs, including not only the cost of the equipment but also related costs for setup, maintenance, etc.
For particularly complex applications, such as those requiring part inverting or aligning products for further processing or packaging, work with a supplier that offers a test facility. This allows setup, testing and refinement of the designed conveyor line, and the likely delivery and installation of a line that quickly meets the promise of enhanced productivity. MF
