Exhibit focuses on the art of comic books and more
The work of comic book artists and writers from the region — along with images created by a cartoonist for the New Yorker magazine — will be the focus of an art exhibit that opens Friday at Arts Mid-Hudson in the Town of Poughkeepsie.
"Komic Kreators of the Mid-Hudson Valley" features the work of Hudson Valley artists whose work can be found in "The Amazing Spider-Man" Sunday comic strip; "Brenda Starr;" "Dick Tracy; "Thor;" "The Avengers;" and other comics. Broadening the focus of the show beyond comic books will be the work of Liza Donnelly of Milan, a cartoonist for the New Yorker magazine.
Fred Hembeck of Wappingers Falls, whose work includes drawing and writing storylines for "The Amazing Spider-Man," is looking forward to seeing his work featured in the show and expanding his audience.
"It will be people who aren't necessarily steeped in the whole comic book thing," Hembeck said. "This will give them a new appreciation for the amount of effort that goes into making this art."
The presentation of this work at the Arts Mid-Hudson office comes as multiple comic book characters continue to be featured in major motion pictures and interest from the public remains high in this iconic art form.
"Komic Kreators of the Mid-Hudson Valley" also gives Arts Mid-Hudson the opportunity to showcase the new office it opened in September on Dutchess Turnpike/Route 44. Arts Mid-Hudson links hundreds of artists and art organizations, advocates for the arts, serves as a conduit for public funding for the arts and monitors how tax dollars are spent on cultural offerings.
A preview party for the show will be held Friday and those attending are encouraged to wear costumes. The artists will be on hand to autograph their work at the preview party and at a grand opening set for Saturday. .
Special events set to be held in conjunction with the show include two presentations" "The Genesis of a Comic Image/Strip" Feb. 21 and "Women in Komics" on Feb. 28. "Women in Komics" will focus on the evolving role of women featured in comics and comic book-based movies and the women who create comics.
"When you do this kind of work, you're pretty much on your own most of the time," Hembeck said. "And you kind of know that people read the stuff and enjoy it, but you don't really witness it. It's nice to have people see it in person and maybe say a few good things about it."

Realizing they control the judiciary and state bar associations, as well as much of the complicit media, the left is going after conservatives with a vengeance using the legal system. Any conservative is at risk of being sued, but conservative attorneys and judges are getting hit the hardest because state bars can take away their license to practice law, destroying their reputations and careers. Once they’ve been disciplined by the state bar, it is easy for aggrieved “victims” to sue and get a large judgment awarded against them from a sympathetic judiciary.
Several years ago, society was concerned about renegade prosecutors. Now, the tables have turned. Prosecutors are scared to bring charges on politically charged issues, especially if they go against the left’s agenda. Any little technical, meaningless mistake made by anyone down the chain – from an assistant to a detective to a secretary – can be magnified and used against them.
Powerful public officials with income streams to protect and left-wing agendas to push regularly bully prosecutors around now. Prosecutors are terrified to file charges against corrupt public officials, knowing the system is too stacked against them and will be turned around and used to destroy them.
Charles Sebesta was the Burleson County District Attorney in Texas for many years. He would have retired with an impressive career except for one thing – the left started making traction unpopularizing the death penalty toward the end of his tenure, and he had a case that was inconveniently getting in the way. In 1994, Anthony Graves and Robert Carter were convicted of capital murder in the deaths of six black people and sentenced to death. Carter was put to death, but Graves and his attorneys continued his appeals. Finally, in 2006, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction, on the grounds that Sebesta had “withheld evidence.”
The evidence Sebesta supposedly had withheld from the defense was that Carter had agreed to testify that he had solely committed the crimes, in order to protect his wife. Sebesta had plenty of evidence that Carter’s wife was involved in the crimes, including five witnesses working at the jail who overheard Carter and Graves talking in their cells about protecting her, and statements from Carter admitting his wife had used a hammer when he broke down during a lie detector test.
Sebesta told Graves’ attorney, Calvin Garvie, about Carter’s offer to testify that he’d solely committed the crimes, and Garvie decided not to use the testimony during trial. When Garvie was asked under oath during an evidentiary hearing before a Federal Magistrate in 2004 if knowledge of this statement by Carter would have changed anything at trial, he said no. Since three murder weapons had been used – a hammer, knife and gun – Garvie likely thought no one would believe only one person was involved, so decided to go with the approach that his client wasn’t one of the three involved.
Later, when Garvie was asked under oath if Sebesta had told him this, Garvie said he didn’t recall. Note he didn’t say he didn’t say no, he merely said he didn’t recall – probably because he didn’t want to get caught in a lie if a written document showed up later showing otherwise. When Sebesta took a lie detector test administered by the same individual who has handled a significant amount of testing for the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct, he successfully passed when he answered affirmatively that he had provided Garvie that evidence.
In 2010, the DA who replaced Sebesta was able to use the overturned verdict for “withholding evidence” as an excuse not to retry Graves, throwing Sebesta under the bus.
The state bar ran with it, putting on a kangaroo court trial against Sebesta where he wasn’t allowed to offer any of this exonerating evidence. Controlled by the left, their agenda was simple: destroy this prosecutor and use him as an example of why the death penalty needs to be abolished. Since the statute of limitations had already run for holding proceedings against Sebesta, incredibly, the legislature was brought in to pass a law allowing the state bar to retroactively reach back and get him.
Curiously, note that most accounts don’t attempt to say that Graves was innocent. The language used is purposely directed at Sebesta instead, merely vague accusations of unethical behavior. Even the left knows someone could dig up the testimony of the witnesses who overheard Carter and Graves talking about the crimes in jail. Since the court hadn’t used the words “actual innocence,” Graves was ineligible to sue the state for damages. The legislature was coerced – again – to jump in and change the law to remove that requirement, and Graves was awarded $1.4 million in damages.
Emboldened with power, the media ran articles such as this one, entitled, “Why Won’t Charles Sebesta Just Go Away?” The left knew their machine was utterly obliterating him, and couldn’t understand why the little guy bothered to fight back.
No one will stick up for Sebesta, everyone is too afraid. Now they are going to pile on him, as there is speculation that lawsuits will be filed against him and maybe even criminal charges.
All Sebesta has is a four-year-old website explaining his side, none of which has been included in news accounts. On it, he refutes several more unfair things he was accused of doing, by attorneys and judges scared to retry Graves and face the wrath of the anti-death penalty movement.
Whether you agree with the death penalty or not, this is a sick way to go about abolishing it, destroying the life of a conservative prosecutor and disrespecting the lives of the six black people who were murdered. Sebesta writes on his website, “The six victims: a 46-year old grandmother, her 16-year old daughter and four grandchildren between the ages of four and nine – all black – will forever be denied the justice they deserve because it was more important for a very left-leaning, liberal media to sacrifice the lives of these victims in exchange for an opportunity to use this case as justification for abolishing the death penalty!”
Too many conservatives say they are libertarian and concerned about overzealous prosecutors. Well, this isn’t 1980 anymore. Conservatives are now scared to become prosecutors, and eventually there will be no one ethical left to serve in this increasingly thankless and bullied profession. When the left takes over the prosecutors’ offices, conservatives and libertarians who have pretended not to notice this happening are going to find themselves wishing they never run afoul of the law.

‘I don’t think he will be up for sale’: Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio rules out move for N’Golo Kante this season with Chelsea unwilling to open talks over their midfield star
- Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio has ruled out a move for N’Golo Kante this season
- The midfielder had been linked with a reunion with former boss Antonio Conte
- But Chelsea are said to be unwilling to open negotiations over the Frenchman
Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio has ruled out a move for N’Golo Kante this season because Chelsea are unwilling to listen to offers.
The Blues have already rejected an offer which involved Christian Eriksen and Marcelo Brozovic and Ausilio claimed the midfielder is too important to Chelsea for the Blues to consider selling him.
Inter Milan chief Piero Ausilio has ruled out a move for Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante this season
Antonio Conte wanted a reunion with the midfielder after winning the Premier League in 2017
‘Kante is an important part of Chelsea, I don’t think he will be up for sale,’ the director explained to DAZN ahead of Inter’s Serie A match with Fiorentina on Saturday.
‘We have eight important central midfielders, we will begin and move forward with them.’
Kante has started all of Chelsea’s three Premier League games and Chelsea would prefer to sell Jorginho ahead of the World Cup winner.
The Blues are unwilling to negotiate with Frank Lampard determined to keep the Frenchman
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley are more likely to be departing Stamford Bridge with Aston Villa eyeing up a loan move for the duo. Southampton have also shown an interest in Loftus-Cheek, who has been left out of Chelsea’s last three fixtures.
Ausilio also admitted Inter had a meeting with Tottenham over their target Milan Skriniar but said the club were not prepared to let him go with Diego Godin set to depart the club at the end of the season.
‘There were talks with the Tottenham management, but we will reiterate that Skriniar is a confirmed player for us,’ he added.
‘We are not planning to lose him after Godin.’

U.S. to slap huge tariffs on Chinese solar panels
Companies accused of illegally dumping solar cells on U.S.
The U.S. Department of Commerce said Friday that it will seek to slap tariffs ranging from 31 percent to 250 percent on solar panels imported from China, the Guardian reported.
The Commerce Dept. decided to impose the tariffs after concluding that China is “dumping” its solar panels on the U.S. market by selling them for less than their actual cost, according to USA Today.
The fees are to be charged on top of import duties ranging from 2.9 percent to 4.73 percent that the Commerce Dept. imposed on Chinese solar panels in March, the Guardian reported. Those duties are designed to remove the advantage that the U.S. government claims Chinese solar-panel makers derive from unfair government subsidies.
The decision has gotten a mixed reaction from American solar manufacturers, USA Today reported. Helios, N.J.-based MX Solar USA, which filed a petition with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission last October charging that Chinese companies were illegally dumping solar cells, cheered the news.
Commerce's ruling "is a bellwether decision," Steve Ostrenga, chief executive officer of Milwaukee-based Helios Solar Works, said, according to USA Today. "It underscores the importance of domestic manufacturing to the U.S. economy and will help determine whether the country will be a global competitor in clean technologies or outsource them China. It is also critically important for thousands of U.S. workers."
However, other U.S. solar companies fear the tariffs will raise prices and thus dampen interest in solar while potentially setting off a trade war, the Guardian reported.
"We think it's raising taxes 31 percent on solar cells, and we think it's going to increase solar electricity prices in the U.S. precisely at the moment that solar power is becoming competitive," Jigar Shah, who heads the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy, said in a statement, according to the Guardian.
According to USA Today:
The department is expected to make its final decision this fall and will begin collecting the tariffs if the International Trade Commission determines in November that the under-priced panels are injuring the solar industry.

Most Pennsylvania resorts are keeping a watchful eye on the weather trying to squeeze a few more days out of the 2009-10 winter, but Shawnee Mountain already has its sights set on next year. The resort recently announced the installation of a high- speed detachable quad lift capable of whisking skiers and snowboarders from base to summit in three minutes, cutting its lift ride time by more than half. The current ride is seven minutes.
The so-called Tomahawk Express is made by Dopplemayr, CTEC USA. The Express will service 20 of Shawnee's 23 slopes and trails. The new high-speed quad will be installed this summer along the Tomahawk Trail and replace Shawnee's existing fixed grip quad lift in the same location. The fixed grip quad will be moved to the Arrowhead Trail and replace Shawnee's oldest lift - a fixed grip triple which will be retired.
The Tomahawk Express is capable of traveling at 1,000 feet per minute. It also is designed to be child and ski school friendly with a slow 225 feet per minute load and unload speed. Each of the detachable 4-person chairs will have rear slanting seats. The Quad will transport 2,400 skiers/riders per hour.
All lift system installation and relocation work will be completed in time for the 2010-11snow sports season. A ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the new Tomahawk Express is planned for early December.

R. v. Szilagyi, 2018 ONCA 695 - SummaryR. v. Szilagyi, 2018 ONCA 695 (CanLII)
When "evidence was obtained in a manner that infringed or denied any rights or freedoms guaranteed by" the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it is possible to have it excluded "if it is established that, having regard to all the circumstances, the admission of it in the proceedings would bring the administration of justice into disrepute": s. 24(2). To determine whether the admission of the tainted evidence would bring the administration of justice into disrepute, courts follow the test formulated in R. v. Grant, 2009 SCC 32.
An often raised argument by the Crown, under the first prong of the Grant test (Seriousness of the Charter -Infringing State Conduct), is that the police or other State agent acted in good faith. Indeed, a breach of rights is less serious if it stems from truly bona fide acts. This case deals with what "good faith" really entails, helping to interpret the following passage from par. 75 of Grant: " “Good faith” on the part of the police will also reduce the need for the court to disassociate itself from the police conduct. However, ignorance of Charter standards must not be rewarded or encouraged and negligence or wilful blindness cannot be equated with good faith" (cited at par. 56).
Here, the police got a search warrant to find a firearm in the accused residence. The information given to obtain the warrant (the ITO) relied largely on a confidential informant and was deficient in many aspects. The day the police executed the warrant, they first arrested the accused for firearm possession and made a search incident to this arrest. It only turned up a cellphone. During the search of the residence, they found drugs, cash and a cellphone, but no firearm. The cellphones then were the object of search warrants, based on the rest of the police findings.
Since the information that the police had given to obtain the search warrant was insufficient, the warrant was invalid. As such, the search of the residence was unreasonable, contrary to s. 8 of the Charter. The accused's arrest was also arbitrary because the police did not have the reasonable and probable ground that he was in possession of a firearm, contrary to s. 9 of the Charter. The search incident to his arrest was therefore (in addition to other issues) unreasonable as well, again contrary to s. 8 of the Charter. This snowballed to also make the search of the cellphones unreasonable and contrary to s. 8 of the Charter.
But should those infringements lead to the exclusion of the evidence? The trial judge had minimised the seriousness of the breaches by saying that though deficient, the ITO showed good faith from the police. This was an error. The Court of Appeal for Ontario held that the evidence should have been excluded, under the balance of the Grant test.
Indeed, to determine the seriousness of a Charter breach stemming from insufficient ITO, the court has to consider "whether the use of false or misleading information was intentional or inadvertent" (par. 54). In any case, "[a] conclusion as to good faith cannot be grounded on a lack of bad faith." (par. 55). "The police do not get credit for doing what is expected", here to truthfully disclose at the ITO stage (par. 59). Though a decision posterior to the police intervention in this case reiterated this principle, it did not make "that full and fair disclosure of all information regarding an informant’s credibility and reliability is required in an ITO" new law pour autant (par. 58). The fact that the police later changed their practice to conform to the law would not reduce the seriousness of the breach (par. 64).
As a whole, in this case, "the police conduct falls at the more serious end of the spectrum, favouring exclusion of the evidence. Although the police applied for and obtained a warrant, the ITO was seriously deficient: it did not provide the type of information from the informant [required], it used misleading language regarding the informant’s criminal record, and the police failed to corroborate any [meaningful] information [...]. Although the Rocha decision [which dealt with a similar situation] post-dated the police’s application to obtain a search warrant for the appellant’s home, the law relied on in Rocha to ground a similar analysis and exclude the impugned evidence in that case was not new. It was an error by the trial judge to mitigate the seriousness of the police conduct by characterizing it as good faith, even if the police did not have the specific intent to mislead." (par. 77)
This decision reminds us that true police good faith is the exception, not the norm. Again, "[a] conclusion as to good faith cannot be grounded on a lack of bad faith", because "[t]he police do not get credit for doing what is expected". A Charter breach usually indicates, if not bad faith, at least a neutral state of mind, and often negligence or wilful blindness. We should resist the attempt to label as bona fide routine violations of fundamental rights and freedoms.

The pivot pin has a collar for lateral engagement with the cam to prevent the window frame from bowing away from the window sash, thereby maintaining the window frame substantially square.
1. A sash balance brake assembly for a tiltable window structure adapted to be mounted in a wall, said window structure including a window and a frame, said frame having two spaced generally parallel and opposing tracks extending in a first direction, said sash balance brake assembly including a pair of brake units with one brake unit being slidable in and along each of said tracks in said first direction, said sash balance brake assembly further including a pair of opposed, elongated pivot pins adapted to be attached to said window in a position to extend outwardly from said window, said pivot pins having a coupling portion extending in a second direction generally perpendicular to said first direction, said coupling portions each having an outer end configuration to be operatively coupled in an interference fit to a respective one of said sash balance brake units to facilitate anti-bowing and reciprocal movement and locking of said window along said tracks; said brake unit comprising a flexible housing and a drum cam, said housing have a first opening therethrough, said first opening extending in said second direction through said housing, said drum cams each having a first end and a second end, said first end of said cam being insertable in said first opening along a path of travel generally in said second direction, said second end of said cam having an outwardly projecting means for preventing said second end from passing through said opening, said cam being rotatable in said first opening coaxially with said pivot pin at least 90°; said housing having a second or slot opening extending in a said second direction and communicating with and allowing access to said first opening from said first direction slot first opening, said first opening being larger than said slot opening whereby said cam cannot pass through said second opening; said cam having a first cam slot therein extending in said second direction, said first cam slot being of a configuration to receive from said first direction through said housing slot opening said outer end of said pivot pin therein in said interference fit whereby axial rotational movement of said pivot pin will cause corresponding axial rotational movement of said cam within said housing and whereby relative movement between said pivot pin and said cam in said second direction will be limited to maintain said frame substantially square relative to said window prior to being mounted in said wall and prevent bowing of said frame; said interference fit between said pivot pin and said cam being provided by a collar on each of said pivot pins received in a second slot in said cam, said collar being located inwardly from the outer end of each of said pivot pins and said collar extending radially outwardly from a circumferential surface of each of said pivot pins; said outer ends of said pivot pins each having a non-circular transverse cross sectional configuration; said second slot means in said cam being transversely disposed relative to and extending beyond the width of said first slot means, said second slot receiving said collar and said first slot receiving said outer end of said pivot pin, said cam and said first opening being of a shape relative to each other to not expand said housing when said cam is in a first position and to expand said housing when said cam is in a second position rotated about 90° from said first position.
2. The sash balance brake assembly of claim 1 wherein said collar has a width greater than the width of said slot opening in said housing and said housing is flexible and tapered toward said slot opening to allow said collar to be forced past said second opening into said second slot in said cam.
3. The sash balance brake assembly of claim 1 wherein each of said pivot pins are attached to said window by a bracket.
4. The sash balance brake assembly of claim 3 wherein each of said brackets has a first leg and a second leg, said second leg disposed substantially 90° to said first leg whereby said first leg is adapted for attachment to a bottom of said window sash and said second leg is adapted for attachment to a side of said sash window and said pivot pin extends outwardly from said second leg.

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to a pivotable sash window mounted in a frame and, more particularly, to a sash balance brake and pivot pin assembly which cooperates with the frame to prevent the frame from bowing, such as during shipment and installation.
2. Background Prior Art
Pivotable sash window assemblies are well known in the art. Typically, these assemblies include a rotatable brake assembly actuated by rotation of a pivot pin when the sash of the window is pivoted from its vertical position to a non-vertical position. The brake assembly locks the sash balance relative to the window frame when the sash is pivoted, thereby preventing the sash from springing up.
Makarowski, U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,001, discloses a sash retaining pivot assembly having a T-shaped bar projecting from the sash into the window frame channel, where wings on the T-shaped bar engage the inside of the window frame so that sash to frame alignment is maintained. The T-shaped bar also acts as a pivotal axis about which the sash is tilted and the sash retaining pivot assembly provides integral locking of the window sash within the window frame at the pivot location.
Erickson, U.S. Pat. No. 5,077,939, discloses a cam pivot having a locking lug received between the walls of a channel-shaped slide member of the locking terminal when the sash is tilted to its vertical position. The locking lug prevents separation of the cam pivot from its locking terminal during shipment.
Anderson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,643,377, discloses a tilting double hung window structure wherein a single plastic guide member is inserted in the frame at each side of the jambs and serves the multiple purposes of providing required compression between the frame and sash to maintain the sash in adjusted positions, guiding the sash in vertical movement and weatherstripping between the sash and frame. The patent also describes a two-part camming and locking structure to permit tilting of the sash. The use of packing and shipping clips to maintain the frame in a predetermined relation to the sash are also described.

Anderson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,464,160, discloses a tilting double hung window construction including a single plastic guide member at each side of the window sash to provide compression between the sash and frame and weatherstripping therebetween, as well as, guiding the sash in a sliding motion relative to the frame. A camming locking structure for securing the sash in a vertical position is also disclosed.
Westphal, et al., U.S. Pat. No. DES 319,576, describes an ornamental design for a pivot bar component of a tiltable window sash.
While several of the patents above describe pivotable window sash assemblies, none describe the combination sash balance brake and pivot bracket assembly disclosed by Applicant. There remains a need for a simple and reliable method to secure a tiltable window sash in the vertical position to the frame to prevent the jambs of the frame from bowing out and distorting from the sash, such as during shipment and installation.
The present invention is provided to solve these and other problems.
It is an object of the invention to provide a sash balance brake and pivot pin assembly for a sash window which maintains the window substantially square prior to installation.
In accordance with the invention, the pivot pin extends outwardly from the window sash. The sash balance brake is disposed within a track in the window frame and includes a cam rotatably disposed within an expandable housing. The pivot pin has a collar for lateral engagement with the cam to prevent the window frame from bowing away from the window sash, thereby maintaining the window frame substantially square.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following specification taken in conjunction with the following drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a double-hung window assembly including combination sash balance brake and pivot bracket assemblies;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the combination sash balance brake and pivot bracket assembly as it would appear when the window is pivoted 90° to an open position and the housing has been expanded to engage the balance brake;
FIG. 3 is a top view of the pivot bracket taken along lines 3--3 of FIG. 2 showing the pivot bracket;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the pivot bracket of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a cross section taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 2 of the combination sash balance brake with the pivot pin inserted within the oval drum shaped drum and showing the cam turned 90 degrees so that the pivot pin is in a locked position within the drum;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 except that the oval drum having the pivot pin inserted therein is in a an unlocked position similar to that shown in FIG. 2; and,
FIG. 7 is a top view of the sash balance brake having the oval drum inserted therein.
While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail, a preferred embodiment of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspects of the invention to the embodiment illustrated.
A conventional pivotable double hung sash window system, generally designated 10, is disclosed in FIG. 1. As is well known, the window system 10 is vertically mounted in a conventional fashion in a wall or other similar structure. The window system 10 includes a lower sash 12 and an upper sash 14, reciprocally mounted within a window frame 16. The window frame 16 includes a header 18, a sill 20, a left jamb 22, and a right jamb 24. The lower sash 12 and upper sash 14 each include a sash top header 26, two opposing sash stiles 28 and a sash base 30. In general, the form of the sashes 12, 14 and jambs 22, 24 follow a conventional structure and form.
As is well known, the window system 10 includes a pair of sash balances 32, 34 for each of the respective sashes 12, 14. The sash balances 32, 34 provide an upward force to counter the weight of the respective sashes 12, 14. Because the sashes 12, 14 are pivotable, brake assemblies 36 are provided. A pair of opposing pivot pins 40, one extending outwardly from each side of each of the sashes 12, 14, engage each of the brake assemblies 36. Rotation of the pivot pins 40 upon pivoting of the sashes 12, 14 locks the brake assemblies 36, and hence disables the respective sash balances 32, 34, when the respective sashes 12, 14 are pivoted away from the vertical position.
As previously discussed, there has been a tendency for frame jambs to bow outwardly before window systems have been placed in a wall. In order to overcome this problem, the pivot pins 40 of the present invention are laterally secured to their respective brake assemblies 36, to prevent, or otherwise minimize, outward bowing of the window frame.
Referring to FIGS. 2-7, a generally L-shaped pivot bracket 42 is provided integral with the pivot pin 40. The pivot bracket 42 is adapted for attachment to the lower corners of the window sashes 12, 14. The pivot bracket 42 has a first leg 44, having a first recessed screw hole 46. The pivot bracket 42 also has a second leg 48, having a second recessed screw hole 50. Screws, not shown, are conventionally disposed through the first screw hole 46 and second screw hole 50, to secure the pivot bracket 42 to window sashes 12, 14. The pivot bracket 42 further has a registration pin 52 which aligns with a corresponding alignment cavity (not shown) in sashes 12, 14. Sashes 12, 14 typically have a groove (not shown) complementary to the shape of the bracket 42, so that the bracket 42 is flush mounted to the sashes 12, 14. The bracket 42 includes a cut-out rectangular portion 54 to allow for any excess window weld material, which occasionally results at the window corner. It is to be understood that the pivot pin 40 of the invention could be integral with the sashes 12, 14, rather than being secured thereto by the bracket 42.
The sash balance brake assemblies 36 for conventional attachment to the sash balances 32, 34, include a cam 56 having a generally U-shaped cavity 58 of cross section similar to that of the pivot pin 40. The cam 56 is disposed within an expandable housing 60. The pivot pin 40 is received by the U-shaped cavity 58 of the cam 56, such that rotation of the pivot pin 40 upon pivoting of the sashes 12, 14 rotates the cam 56, thereby expanding the expandable housing 60 to thereby lock the housing 60 in its place and in its respective track. The cam 56 also has a solid circular covering 62 corresponding generally to the shape of a side housing opening 64, which is also substantially circular as shown in FIG 5.
As is well known, the sash balance brake assemblies 36 are laterally restrained within the track. In accordance with the present invention, a collar 66 is circumferentially disposed about the pivot pin 40. The collar 66 is placed in the U-shaped cavity 58, which laterally secures the pivot pin 40 relative to the cam 56. The covering 62 of the cam 56 includes a radially extending member 68, which laterally engages a recess 70 along the outer surface of the expandable housing 60. The member 68 extends the full circumference of the cam 56, though it could extend a lesser length. The member 68 prevents the cam 56 from moving inward relative to the housing 60. Thus, when the collar 66 of the pivot pin 40 is placed in the U-shaped cavity 58 of the cam 56 as shown in FIG 7, the pivot pin 40 is prevented from moving inwardly relative to the expandable housing 60. Hence, because the pivot pin 40 is attached to the sashes 12, 14 and because the window frame 16 is attached to the track retaining the housing 60, the window frame 16 is prevented from moving outwardly relative to the sashes 12, 14, thus acting as an anti-bow means for preventing the window frame 16 from laterally bowing prior to being mounted.
The pivot bracket 42 can be made from wood or metal, but is preferably molded from a plastic resin and more preferably from a 40% long glass-filled resin such as Isoplast by Dow Corning, for strength and durability. The collar 66 can be square, oval, or such other configurations as would be retained by the cam 56, but is preferably circular as shown.
When sashes 12, 14 are tilted about 90 degrees, the sashes 12, 14 can easily be removed from the sash balance brake assemblies 36 because the opening to the U-shaped cavity 58 is aligned with the upper housing opening 72 of the expandable housing 60, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6. However, when the sashes 12, 14 are pivotally in any other position, the collar 66 is retained in the cam 56, so that the sashes 12, 14 cannot be removed.
It will be understood that the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departure from the spirit or central characteristics thereof. The present examples and embodiments, therefore, are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein.

Can testosterone shots prevent diabetes in men?
Photos: Channel 9 filming a news item on the research at the ANZAC Research Institute.
University of Sydney researchers are seeking male participants for a novel trial assessing whether regular testosterone shots can prevent type 2 diabetes in men.
The $4.8 million Testosterone for the prevention of Diabetes Mellitus (T4DM) study – the first of its kind in the world – is looking at the potential benefits of treating men with early signs of the condition (pre-diabetes) with testosterone supplements in conjunction with a dedicated weight-loss program.
The researchers are seeking up to 1500 overweight male participants aged 50-74 for this ground-breaking study ranging across NSW, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.
Lead investigator, Associate Professor Ann Conway, said men who sign up for the study would have free access to the online weight-loss program run by Weight Watchers.
“An online program is ideal for men who prefer not to attend Weight Watchers meetings,” she said.
“The T4DM trial will look into whether diet and testosterone can prevent type 2 diabetes in men who have prediabetes and relatively low testosterone.
“We will be recruiting 1500 men who do not yet have diabetes across Australia to join the study, people who exhibit pre-diabetes conditions, such as being overweight around the middle.
“Study participation will last approximately two years and participants will receive free access to Weight Watchers and treatment with either testosterone or placebo.
“By giving testosterone supplements to men in that critical pre-diabetes stage, and by putting them on a dedicated weight-loss program, we hope to see sustained reductions in weight and a reduced chance to develop type 2 diabetes.
“Older men who have developed a large belly and are at risk of diabetes now have an opportunity to do something about their weight, improve their lives, and provide us with all-important research results that could benefit many others in the future.”
Dr Conway said in the first six months of study participation, 77 per cent of men lost weight.
“And 83 per cent of men reported that they were getting up at least once at night to urinate before they joined the study. The study participants said this is a very important issue to them, many said it was this problem that motivated them to join the study and take steps to improve their health.
“After only six months of study participation 22 per cent of participants have already reported that they are getting up less often or are not getting up at all and we hope to see this improve further as the study continues.”
Trial participant Michael Pryke signed up because he knew he was at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, given combined factors of lifestyle, weight and a lack of exercise.
“My wife works hard on her own health and on our dietary habits, but I have lacked the necessary motivation to really do something,” he said.
“This study has provided the impetus to finally make the long term life style changes I know I should be implementing, while offering an opportunity to contribute to ongoing research in this area.”
To potential trial participants, Mr Pryke said: “Go for it – you have nothing to lose and an enormous amount to gain.
“Proving the role of testosterone in weight loss will be important and I believe publicity around the positive impacts on the lives of the men who actively participate will have a broader impact.”
Fellow trial participant, Dr Tony Partridge said he had learnt more about pre diabetes and making the relevant lifestyle changes as a result of participating in the trial.
“I have a healthy self-image and an active lifestyle so I was surprised to find I was at risk,” he said.
“Give it a go. You might help others to better health and perhaps also help yourself if risk factors are indicated.”
