Industrial and laboratory OEM designers are constantly being challenged to come up with more versatile, user-friendly, light weight and cost-effective product solutions for their equipment and instrumentation. An important component in this design process is the selection of tubing connectors for the transfer and management of compressed air and other fluids, particularly for mission-critical applications.
Although metal tubing connectors have been traditionally employed in industrial and laboratory markets, plastic connectors continue to supplant many that were previously metal — not only because of their increased options for design flexibility, improved ergonomics, reduced weight and lower cost, but also for their ability to effectively meet stringent industry standards in diverse and harsh environments. Many features of plastic connectors, which have been long proven in critical medical equipment design, are now being integrated into a broad spectrum of industrial equipment and laboratory instrumentation.
But choosing the right plastic connector can be a challenge. Plastic connectors offer more options for material selection, user interface and customized design than metal connectors. A basic understanding of the options available with plastic connectors will help the OEM to specify the most optimized features to achieve peak performance in the equipment or instrument being designed.
Application driven
Although plastic connectors effectively fill many roles, they may not be suitable for all laboratory and industrial uses. Brass, aluminum, die-cast zinc and stainless steel connectors are designed for extreme durability, particularly when influenced by high pressures and high temperatures. Choosing the best suited connector first requires a careful assessment of the application. Primary factors to consider are:
Temperature range — the minimum and maximum temperature tolerances that the connectors will need to function within. Depending on connector material, temperature tolerances can range from -40° to 200°F and above.
Pressure range — determining the minimum, maximum and working pressures that the connectors will be expected to tolerate.
Flow rate — assessing the required volume per minute, and the effect of pressure pulsation, and modulations from connect and disconnect forces.
Media — although compressed air poses no special challenge for plastic fittings, the external environment can pose a tremendous threat. Exposure to sunlight and artificial sources of ultraviolet light, wind, dust, vibration, radiation, gases, water submersion, chemicals or cleaning agents, and mechanical stress can all be detrimental.
Specialized environments — for food and pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, including wash-down, cleanroom and aseptic environments, and vacuums.
User interface — level of human contact expected with the system and connectors.
Cycle life — anticipated maintenance and changeability required to be performed on the system, and expected longevity of the system in operation.
The requirements of the application will then determine what materials would be best suited for the connectors.
Connector materials
The material chosen for plastic connectors should be based on the mechanical requirements of the connector and the type of media that will be moving through the system. Significant advantages and disadvantages need to be weighed in the selection of connector material. Mechanical properties, such as toughness, ductility, impact strength, transparency, lubricity, temperature capability, ozone resistance, and UV compatibility need to be assessed when selecting the most functional material for the application.
Careful consideration needs to be addressed to chemical compatibility and the most appropriate plastic resin for the application. Made of high-purity resin materials for use with aggressive chemicals found in most industrial and manufacturing plants, plastic connectors offer broad chemical compatibility. Many are manufactured from virgin resins, with accompanying certification of lot traceability.
A broad spectrum of plastic resins can be selected from to produce connectors, each with different characteristics to match the needs of system designers. These plastic resins are commonly used for producing connectors.
Polyethylene — chemically resistant, translucent or opaque thermoplastic with low temperature impact, which can withstand a variety of application environments.
Polycarbonate — hard, transparent thermoplastic with moderate chemical resistance. It provides good impact resistance and superior dimensional stability.
Polypropylene — soft thermoplastic that is highly resistant to chemical attack from solvents and chemicals in harsh environments.
Polyamide (nylon) — versatile thermoplastic with good wear and chemical resistance, low permeability to gases and performs well at elevated temperatures.
ABS — tough thermoplastic with good stiffness and impact resistance even at lower temperatures, as well as good dimensional stability and high temperature resistance.
Acetal — strong and lightweight thermoplastic that provides high strength and rigidity over a wide range of temperatures.
PTFE — fluoropolymer resistant to most chemicals and solvents, with stability at high temperatures.
PVDF — thermoplastic that is mechanically strong with good ductility over a broad temperature range, as well as having excellent chemical resistance.
After the most appropriate material for the production of the connector is determined, the type of connection that best suits the laboratory or industrial need can be assessed.
Connection options
Connectors are designed to accommodate tubing of varying hardness (durometer) — from soft and flexible like PVC and silicone, to semi-rigid types like polypropylene, polyethylene, polyurethane and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). To accommodate these varying styles of tubing and their respective application needs, different connector types are used, including barbed connectors, check valves, Luer connectors, quick-acting couplings, threaded luer fittings, and tube-to-tube connectors. Of these, the most commonly used tubing connectors are tube-to-tube connectors, Luer fittings, and quick-acting couplings. These basic connector styles can cover a wide range of liquid and air applications in laboratory and industrial environments.
Tube-to-tube connectors — a popular choice for applications that do not require the disconnection of equipment or parts at any point during production or use. Tubing connectors are available in many different configurations, sizes and material options to adapt different tube sizes or styles, reroute the flow direction without kinking, and act as a manifold.
Luer connectors — delivery systems can employ conical or taper seal connectors, called Luers, to link various system components. The male and female components of Luer connectors join together to create secure, yet detachable, leak-proof connections with no O-ring or gasket required. Luer connectors come in a variety of configurations adapting to tube connections, threaded connections (UNF, NPT and metric) and other Luer or quick coupling terminations. Some of those incorporate a tapered UNF thread, similar to a pipe thread, which can also seal on the thread due to interference on the pitch diameter, facilitating directional alignment with tees and elbows.
Quick-acting couplings — allow flexible tubing and equipment to be quickly and safely connected and disconnected. They may be preferred over general connectors for fluid control because they can incorporate built-in shut-off valves that prevent spillage, allow multiple disconnections and faster servicing.
Many of the latest quick coupling designs focus on the user interface and are equipped with intuitively simplistic thumb latch and side latch mechanisms to make handling easier in laboratory and industrial applications. Quick couplings mitigate the prospect of accidental misconnections and create quicker and safer device connections.
Plastic barb-style connectors provide designers with a capability to accommodate the widest possible range of tubing properties and application conditions, including a multitude of configurations such as tees, wyes, elbows, and manifolds. Several barb designs are available — each with unique characteristics to tailor connection performance to specific needs — for handling assembly forces, tensile resistance and blow-off resistance without the need for clamps.
Barbs derive their holding capability by expanding tubing above its nominal inside diameter, creating some amount of interference for a secure seal and good mechanical retention. The tube expansion can vary dramatically, from lower profile, easier connections to much more aggressive interferences, depending on the pressure and tensile pull requirements.
The selection of the proper barb style is essential to the connector's tube holding capability. The cylindrical surface behind the barb should allow the tubing to relax against the connector. In choosing a barb style, the barb chosen should be designed with a sharp peak, allowing it to "bite" into the tubing for optimal retention.
Quick coupling is ideal for lab work
A versatile new plastic quick-acting coupling available for laboratory and industrial applications is the MQC Series, manufactured by Value Plastics. The MQC Series provides an intuitive push-to-connect design. Large, ergonomic buttons provide an audible click on connection and grips for easy handling with gloves. Combined with a wide selection of color-coding options, the MQC is designed for ease of handling and to prevent poor connections.
Many plastic connectors and almost all metal connectors use multi-barb surfaces, which usually produce an inferior tube connection and seal. Multi-barbs cannot create a sharp bite on the tube, which inhibits retention. Also, they do not allow the tube a chance to relax behind the barb, resulting in poor tensile pull strength. Multi-barbs are also relegated to a manufacturing process that leaves a parting line on the sealing surface, creating a potential leak path.
This is an inherent design flaw, yet all multi-barb connector designs, including metal connectors, display this liability. In fact, poor quality single-barb plastic connectors are also afflicted with a parting line, reducing the efficacy of the connector. A well designed and properly manufactured connector will incorporate a singular barb with no parting line, a sharp bite, and a clean sealing surface.
Design optimization
Many factors can reduce the tubing's ability to perform under pressure including temperature, chemical degradation, mechanical stress, pressure pulsation, selection of connector type and barb design. The latest generation of plastic connector technology affords designers and manufacturers a wide latitude of flexibility to design and set up applications that custom fit to their specific needs. Some connector manufacturers, such Value Plastics, provide comprehensive design centers to help instrumentation and equipment manufacturers achieve the highest level of performance from their connectors. With good consultation up front on the designer's application requirements and prospective off the shelf or custom solutions, the pitfalls can be avoided and optimal designs can be executed.
Compared to metal, plastic connectors provide a considerable reduction in weight and improved flexibility with regard to the equipment they serve. Also, plastic quick couplings allow rapid and easy servicing and maintenance of assembly line equipment, filling, and packaging systems to limit system downtime and speed throughput. Color-coding on plastic connectors also makes for quick tube identification and reconnection.
The cost difference between metal and plastic connectors is a major motivating factor pushing instrumentation, equipment, and system designers to further embrace plastic connectors in laboratory and industrial applications. Plastic connectors, particularly when custom designed for the application, are more frequently becoming the preferred solution in industrial and laboratory settings, due to their overall proven efficacy.

By a vote of 4-1, with Ginny Coppola dissenting, the board of selectmen voted once again to back a pilot program that would run daily commuter rail service during the work week from Foxboro to Boston. This pilot program would involve a partnership between the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, the Kraft Group and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
Tuesday's meeting was attended by Kraft Group Representative Dan Krantz and Ryan Coholan, chief railroad officer at the MBTA. And it was Krantz who made the most persuasive pitch to skeptics, including selectman Jim DeVellis, who worry about a future layover station on Kraft property behind North Street homes.
"Jim, all of Foxboro," said Krantz. "Trust in us, we're going to do the right thing."

BandA wrote:So the station should be called Foxborough, unless the railroad spelled it the other way before.

Lochinvar Packaged Systems Take the Court at Louisville's KFC Yum! Center
Lochinvar Packaged Systems Take the Court at Louisville's KFC Yum! Center
by Lochinvar Marketing
The KFC Yum! Center, a multi-purpose arena located in the heart of downtown Louisville, KY, opened its doors in October 2010. Home to the University of Louisville Men's and Women's Basketball programs, the 721,762 square foot facility seats 22,000 guests and is the fifth largest college basketball arena in the nation.
In addition to basketball, the Center is designed to accommodate a variety of other sporting and entertainment events – from NCAA wrestling, swimming and volleyball to concerts, boxing matches and ice shows. The state-of-the-art arena features an integrated scoring and video display system, which includes large LED video displays within the seating bowl, professional grade LCD screens and a powerful control system.
Within the $239 million facility are multiple locker rooms, club lounges and suites, a team store, additional retail space, a restaurant, sports bar, meeting rooms, an immediate care center and administrative offices, along with KFC Yum! Brand and Papa John's concessions.
Behind the Scenes
The KFC Yum! Center was constructed with advanced equipment and modern amenities that extend beyond the public eye as well. Unique energy conservation approaches were incorporated into the HVAC systems including enthalpy wheels for energy recovery and a high-tech building automation system for customizable control. The facility's top-of-the-line plumbing and mechanical systems are designed to offer superior performance and high-efficiency operation, ensuring consistent comfort for guests through sustainable design.
Smith Seckman Reid (SSR) handled the engineering design for the KFC Yum! Center, while Hussung Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (HMC) installed the plumbing and mechanical systems. The components of these systems included three water heater packaged systems with combined inputs of nearly 4.9 million Btu/hr, 90 fans, three chillers totaling 2,850 tons of cooling, 25 air handling units, three boilers totaling 20,400,000 Btu/hr and more than 1,000 plumbing fixtures.
The Lochinvar Line-Up
Based on previous experience, SSR recommended two Power-Fin Water Heater packaged systems and one ARMOR Water Heater packaged system from Lochinvar to satisfy all of the Center's hot water requirements. Developed as part of Lochinvar's unique "engineered systems" approach to water heating, these packaged systems are designed to offer the ultimate in flexibility since the heating unit(s) can be paired with the exact size and capacity storage tank needed for any given application. Each package system can also be custom-configured to the precise specification and available space of each job, arriving pre-piped and skid mounted from the factory for immediate installation.
With one Power-Fin unit offering inputs of 1,500,000 Btu/hr, two Power-Fins with 1,300,000 Btu/hr each and two ARMOR units offering 399,000 Btu/hr each, the three package systems combined provide total inputs of nearly 4.9 million Btu/hr. Total storage capacity exceeds 3500 gallons.
The Power-Fin line has set the industry standard for quality since its introduction in 1986. Known for bringing reliable performance to commercial applications of all sizes, Power-Fin features a fully modulating burner with 5:1 turndown and a gasketless copper-fin tube heat exchanger that delivers up to 87 percent thermal efficiency. The ARMOR Commercial Water Heater features a stainless steel heat exchanger that offers thermal efficiencies up to 98 percent and 5:1 modulating turndown.
Both Power-Fin and ARMOR feature the advanced SMART SYSTEM control, which makes installation, system sequencing, set-up and troubleshooting easy. SMART SYSTEM also includes a built-in cascading sequencer for installations using up to eight water heaters, to maximize hot water delivery.
With the packaged systems, each high-efficiency water heater is paired with the appropriate sized Lock-Temp Storage Tank, which features a baffle chamber design that ensures a constant outlet temperature.
A Crowd-Pleasing Performance
Since the specified Lochinvar systems were pre-packaged and pre-piped before arriving at the jobsite, the installation was a smooth process. SSR provided the HMC team with exact drawings to ensure proper placement of the equipment.
Mark Sironen of HMC, who was the project manager for the job, led the charge on the installation of the plumbing and mechanical systems.
"Installing the Lochinvar equipment was a simple, straightforward process. The units fit perfectly in the mechanical room, setup was quick and easy with the SMART SYSTEM controls and they worked great from day one. At this point in our role, no news is good news since that means things must still be going well,"
said Sironen.
Ted Milby, director of operations at the KFC Yum! Center, reported that the equipment has in fact been performing optimally since the arena was constructed. "When opening a facility of this size, there is always a concern about how new equipment will function and what kind of energy efficiency we can expect. So far, we've been 100 percent satisfied with the performance of the Lochinvar units," stated Milby.
"From the very first time I checked out the mechanical rooms, I was really impressed with the layout of the space and how compact and user-friendly the equipment is. We have conducted several tours with other facility managers, and I think they were very impressed with the Lochinvar equipment, plumbing and mechanical systems we have here at the KFC Yum! Center."

This is a good attempt for version 0.01, but I have a couple of criticisms.
The biggest problem I found is that it's susceptible to negotiation loops. No doubt the loops are more the fault of the Telnet software I'm talking to in my application, but I believe Net::Telnet::Options could be more robust. RFC 1143, "The Q Method of Implementing TELNET Option Negotiation" provides rules and an example state machine for this. The author of the RFC, Daniel J. Bernstein, points out: "... preventing such loops is a nontrivial task." [Page 1]
My second criticism is about separation of concerns. I wanted to use syswrite() in my application, which becomes a system call, but NTO writes to the socket using print(), which becomes a C standard library call. Of course, it's a no-no to mix system and library calls, so I had to use print() in my code too. This is ironic, since the NTO documentation gives an example of using recv(), a system call, to read from the socket. I think it would be better if NTO devolved the writing to a callback and abstracted itself to dealing purely with Telnet options.

Last week I was lucky enough to have a very interesting Musou related conversation via Skype. The conversation was with someone that I consider to be a true Musou expert, someone with 'working knowledge' of the series….Let's call him 'Mr. L'.
I will be doing a full Musou 2 Me interview with Mr. L shortly – right now I will post the transcript of our conservation regarding Western Musou comparators as I think it contained some interesting insights. Enjoy ^^
Mr. L: still waiting for your next What makes a Musou article 😛
Leady: I have started the 3rd part…
Leady: but went off on a massive tangent lool
Leady: and confused myself hahaha
Mr. L: Just like Musou! 😀
Leady: lool!
Leady: I have pieces of it written on my pc, ipad and bberry
Leady: Here's a question for you….
Leady: what do you think is the closest a Western studio has come to making a Musou game?
Leady: or a game using design and mechanics close to the Musou formula?
Mr. L: Left 4 Dead perhaps? at least gameplay wise.
Mr. L: Not story wise
Leady: interesting
Mr. L: Left 4 Dead definitely has that one vs many feel to it
Mr. L: hundreds and hundred of enemies
Mr. L: brb…
Leady: ok
Mr. L: ok back
Mr. L: Yeah, all the games that come to mind as comparisons to Musou are Asian
Mr. L: N3 and Kingdom under Fire are Korean
Mr. L: Final Fight and clones are all Japanese
Mr. L: I'm trying to think of Western games that have perspective based story-telling
Mr. L: but I can't think of anything off the top of my head
Leady: I was thinking Lego Star Wars
Leady: in terms of the Character Action part
Leady: its basically Musou
Leady: but lacks the 1 v 1000 feeling
Leady: but then again so does Ken and other recent Musou games
Mr. L: actually, Lego might be a good example as well
Leady: they really seem to have mucked Lego Star Wars III up
Leady: I was really looking forward to that
Mr. L: Marvel Ultimate Alliance might be another good comparison
Leady: oh yer good point
Mr. L: but yeah, I can't think of a Western game where playing as different characters presents different points of view in the same overarching story
Leady: Also in Lego Star Wars all the characters have very simple controls and there are cloned animations rigs
Leady: on differing bodies
Leady: which really reminded me of Musou as well
Leady: and the fun is in unlocking all the characters and playing them just because they are 'them'
Leady: and you know them from the outside fiction
Mr. L: True
Mr. L: though pre-Dynasty 6, Musou didn't clone rigs
Leady: damn i should put this transcript on my blog ^^
Mr. L: back in the good old days of Musou
Leady: yeah but the moves were accessed off the same basic commands/inputs so players could slip from one character to another without trouble
Leady: in Final Fighte etc. there is more strategy needed to play each character
Mr. L: well if we're looking at combos, we shift back to Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Leady: I need to try MUA out
Leady: but I don't like Marvel lool
Mr. L: awww… poor Willy
Mr. L: let me play a song on the world's smallest violin for you
Leady: hahaha lool
Leady: this is definately going on the blog now
Leady: lol
Mr.L: I guess the problem is that it's easy to compare games to Musou gameplay
Mr. L: but Musou story telling is what makes it unique
Mr. L: I think the fact that Koei has recycled the same story over and over is what has hurt Musou so much
Mr. L: because as long as the stories are unique, Musou can be very interesting
Mr.L: I think back to the Japanese RPG Seiken Densetsu 3
Mr. L: the sequel to Secret of Mana
Mr. L: in that game you chose 3 of 6 characters to take with you as your party for the entire game
Mr. L: and based on your main character you end up with one of 6 unique prelude scenes and one of 3 final areas and boss sequences
Mr. L: As such, even though the middle is the same for all the characters, it feels like you are fighting for different reasons based on who you choose
Mr. L: and you have a different "really bad thing" on the line
Mr. L: Perspective is just something that is missing in western games…
Leady: ah i c
Mr. L: either the central character is a blank slate for the player to fill, or a single fleshed out character with no alternate characters to choose from
Leady: Remember Shining Force 3 on Saturn?
Leady: It had 3 different scenario missions
Leady: sorry, disks
Mr. L: I recall Shining Force for Genesis, not Saturn
Leady: the Saturn one
Leady: had 3 disks
Leady: one for each character and his party
Leady: so each disk was an individual part of a main story
Mr. L: neat
Leady: then at the end all three characters and parties came together
Leady: for the big fight. (saved data crossed between games)
Mr. L: though japanese again 😛
Mr. L: very neat
Mr. L: I approve
Leady: It was awesome
So that was the exert from our discussion. We went a bit off topic and got into JRPGs at the end there but I think it shows that while other games contain certain similarities the Musou formula remains quite unique – it's either an inimitable piece of know-how to Koei or no other games company sees any profit in trying to copy it!

Panthers Upset Rams in Double Overtime
Old Westbury - 98, Farmingdale State - 96 (2OT)
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball fell in double overtime in tonight's quarterfinal game of the Skyline Conference playoffs against rival Old Westbury (13-13). The fifth-seeded Panthers upset the #4 Rams (16-10) with a 98-96 win to advance to the semifinal game against top-seed Purchase on Thursday night, February 24th at 7:00 p.m.
After trailing by five at the half, the Rams tied the game at 40 on a layup by junior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park) with 16:25 showing on the clock. The Panthers went back up by 12 points over the next 10 minutes and with Farmingdale in foul trouble the game seemed out of reach. But Smith and junior guard Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) combined for an 11-0 run over the last three minutes, to give the Rams a one point lead, 72-71, with 25 seconds to play. A late foul sent senior forward Frantz Granjean (Brooklyn, N.Y./Midwood) to the line and he hit the first of two free throws to tie it at 72. A three-pointer by Farmingdale missed and would send the game to overtime.
In the first overtime, Old Westbury led by two with 2:10 left before three consecutive layups by Farmingdale off of two forced turnovers by senior guard Keith Nandin (Queens, N.Y./St. Francis Prep) would give the Rams a four point edge, 85-81 with 1:16 on the clock. Still up by three with 35 seconds remaining, Granjean hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 87-87. A final play by Farmingdale wouldn't fall and we saw a second overtime.
The game came down to the final minute, with the Rams leading by one, 96-95. A foul sent Granjean to the line for Old Westbury and he was 2-for-2 to give his team the lead, 97-96 with 55 seconds left. Another Panther free throw by junior guard Jamal Little (Spring Valley, N.Y./Spring Valley) with 23 seconds left gave his team a two point advantage. Farmingdale could not convert on their final possession and Old Westbury completed the upset for the victory.
Farmingdale had six players in double figures, led by Smith with 17 points, eight steals and five assists. Flournoy finished with 15 points and Nandin had 15 points and six assists. Senior forward Jermaine Abraham (Brooklyn, N.Y./Wadleigh) had 13 points and junior forward Robert Adon (New York, N.Y./Philip A. Randolph) totaled 12 points and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds. Junior forward Davon Henry (New York, N.Y./Wadleigh) scored 11 points.
Old Westbury's Granjean finished with a game-high 34 points and 13 rebounds, while senior center Lester Prosper (Bellmore, N.Y./Mepham) grabbed a game-high 19 rebounds and added 21 points. Little finished with 18 points and freshman forward Matthew Duffy (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown West) had 12 points.
The Rams will now await an ECAC bid next week.

The Evil Triplets
January 16, 2006
The recent talk about Iran and North Korea has reminded me of President Bush's 2002 State of the Union address. In it he described the Axis of Evil, three rogue nations that posed a "grave and growing danger" to world peace. This led me to search my archives at www.ConservativeTruth.org for an article I wrote at that time. One of the three rogue nations, Iraq, has been dealt with. The other two are more dangerous today than they were four years ago. I felt that this might me a good time to republish that article. I think you will find George Bush's words almost prophetic...
Every word in a State of the Union Address is carefully considered. President Bush did not ad lib any part of the 2002 Address. So we can be sure that he intended for North Korea, Iran and Iraq to feel threatened by his words.
There are many nations that provide active support to terrorists in a variety of ways. These include moral support, financial aid, training, intelligence, weapons, and safe havens. There are at least forty nations that would qualify as terrorist nations if the definition included these activities.
Then why did President Bush single out these three nations, describing them in a term harking back to World War II, by saying they "...constitute an axis of evil?"
The three nations Bush listed have little in common. North Korea is an Asian Communist nation; Iraq and Iran are Arab Islamic states. Iraq's government is a secular Islamic government run by a dictator; Iran's is a religious Islamic state run by fanatical old men. The only thing Iran and Iraq agree upon is their absolute hatred for one another.
The tie that binds these disparate states together is their inclusion on our nation's hit list. The reason they achieved this status is found in the president's words when he said, "Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction."
Our government is signaling a shift in emphasis from going after terrorists and their training camps to dealing with nations that have the ability to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians at a time. I won't say that this emphasis is overdue, because I don't have access to the information that the president uses to order his priorities. I will say that I welcome this shift.
"But aren't you a religious man, a minister? How can you approve of making war on other nations before they attack us?" My answer is in three parts.
First, the Bible doesn't say that nations should not go to war. In fact, there are places where God commands war to punish evil nations or to right wrongs. There are liberal theologians who argue that all violence is wrong, that war can never be justified. Due to space limitations, my answer to these people must be short: "Read your Bible."
Second, it is very possible that these nations have already attacked us. Again, I don't have access to the White House intelligence briefings (I didn't renew my subscription), but I wouldn't be surprised if the president had evidence proving the complicity of these three evil nations in the September 11 attacks or other terrorist activities. I say this because I have found our new president to be a man who gathers the facts before he talks. I don't believe he would highlight these nations without hard evidence, which may go beyond the fact that they threaten us with weapons of mass destruction.
The third reason I would support military action against the Evil Triplets is found in the doctrine of preemptive action. In a nutshell, we must answer this question with regard to nations that threaten ours: Are we being "fair" if we wait for madmen to attack us before we take action, or is that course suicidal? I submit that waiting is not only suicidal, it is stupid. Thank God we don't have stupid people running our nation today.
The problem is that we cannot depend on the so-called "community of nations" to deal with North Korea, Iran and Iraq. The United Nations would debate and argue for years while hundreds of thousands perished. Communist China would veto any Security Council resolution against their client state, North Korea. The Arab nations would threaten to withhold oil from the world if the United Nations took any military action against Iran and Iraq. Yet these nations pose a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States and its citizens.
Listen to the words of the president: "Some of these regimes have been pretty quiet since September 11. But we know their true nature. North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens. Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror, while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom. Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax and nerve gas and nuclear weapons for over a decade. This is a regime that has already used poison gas to murder thousands of its own citizens, leaving the bodies of mothers huddled over their dead children."
"States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic."
The three nations President Bush targeted are linked to the terrorists in Afghanistan. These groups have trained tens of thousands of killers who are at work today in at least sixty countries. Our troops in Afghanistan found "...diagrams of American nuclear power plants and public water facilities, detailed instructions for making chemical weapons, surveillance maps of American cities and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America and throughout the world." The Evil Triplets have the ability to supply these cowards with what they most desire - weapons capable of killing hundreds of thousands of men, women and children at a time. We cannot allow that to happen.
As we face this threat we can be sure of two things. President Bush will not act in haste or without serious deliberation. He will give these three rogue nations the same opportunity he gave the Taliban regime. As you read this, quiet back door negotiations are ongoing to persuade these terrorist states to join the family of civilized nations by giving up their weapons of mass destruction.
We can also be certain that if these evil nations fail to comply with our just demands, they will suffer the same fate as the Taliban. With or without a coalition, our president will do what is necessary to protect this nation. He has made his position clear: "I will not wait on events while dangers gather. I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." Amen, Mr. President.

|Spokane, WA
|High School:
|Mead HS
|Point Guard
Running The Show
Stacy Clinesmith enters her fourth season as the Gaucho's starting point guard. The main catalyst of UCSB's high-powered offense, Clinesmith has been the team's leader in assists the previous three seasons, collecting a career best 170 assists as a junior. Clinesmith averaged 5.7 assists per game last year and led the Gauchos in assists 17 times during the course of the season. She had six or more assists eleven times as a junior, including a season best of 13 against Arizona.
Clinesmith has played in all 93 of UCSB's games since coming to the program in 1996-97. In fact, Clinesmith started the first 88 games of her career before coming off the bench in the last year's regular season finale (senior night). Clinesmith has started 92 of the 93 games UCSB has played over the last three years, more than any other Gaucho over that span.
Well, If I Must
Surrounded by a plethora of offensive options, the hardest choice for Clinesmith to make isn't necessarily when to pass, but who to pass to. Clinesmith definitely knows her role as the team's distributor, but when push comes to shove she can become the team's deadliest weapon. Clinesmith scored 20 or more points three times last year and led UCSB in scoring twice. In the Gauchos' win at Vanderbilt, she put the team on her back and carried them to victory in a very hostile environment, finishing with a team-high 20 points. She also scored some very dramatic and crucial points in the Gaucho victories at Idaho and at home against Long Beach State.
From Way Downtown . . .
To say that Clinesmith is comfortable shooting from long range might be an understatement. Almost half of Clinesmith's field goal attempts last year came from beyond the arc. For her career, she has made 163 trifectas in 411 attempts (40.1%). Clinesmith has made more three-pointers than any other player in the Big West over the last three seasons.

Give your kids creative control over your Thanksgiving decor this year. There are several simple and eco-friendly ways they can give your home a fall feel for the big day, and they'll beam with pride when guests arrive and fuss over how nice the decorations look. Start by collecting items to reuse for the Thanksgiving decorations - take a walk around your neighborhood collecting natural elements and hit the recycling bin for other odds and ends. Read on to learn my six favorite ways that children can help decorate for Thanksgiving.
1. Natural Vases
Take your children on a nature walk around your neighborhood and collect fallen branches from trees. Bring those branches home, rinse them off and place them in vases throughout your home. It's amazing how something as simple as a fallen branch looks great when placed in a vase on your mantel.
2. Make a Clay Turkey
Children love to work with modeling clay and you can find great eco-friendly versions at your favorite art supply store. Give your child creative freedom to make any type of turkey they would like to display on the Thanksgiving table. You will be surprised what they can come with.
3. Napkin Rings
Grab an empty toilet paper roll from the recycling bin and have your child cut it into 3 smaller tubes. Using glue, natural elements, found objects and crafting supplies have your children decorate the rings in any way that they would like. After they dry, place them around a napkin and you have instant Thanksgiving art for the dinner table.
4. Bowl Full of Nature
Instead of buying cut flowers (that aren't eco-friendly) for the centerpiece this Thanksgiving, let your child fill a beautiful bowl full of natural elements. Whether it is a large bowl of beautiful oranges, apples or pumpkins or a bunch of pine-cones from your back yard, this is an easy way for even the smallest of tots to decorate for Thanksgiving.
5. Repurpose What you Have
Using what you already have to decorate is always the best way to go when thinking eco-friendly. If you have pumpkins or gourds leftover from Halloween, use those as a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table. If you have beautiful pumpkin decorations that you use for Halloween, leave them out until after Thanksgiving. My son has a large Jack o' Lantern stuffed toy that he likes to sit on our sofa during October, once Halloween ends he simply turns the pumpkin around (the spooky face is hidden) and we enjoy the pumpkin through November.
6. Candle Wreaths
Grab some cardboard from the recycling bin, help your child cut it into a small wreath shape that is large enough to sit a soy candle inside. Give your child creative control to glue natural elements; small pine-cones, acorns, leaves, twigs etc; around the wreath. It's fun to make a whole row of these as the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving table and a fun way to entertain your children for the afternoon.
What eco-friendly ways does your family decorate for Thanksgiving?

The savings from multiwire branch circuits can come at a high cost.
It's true that multiwire branch circuits reduce raceway size, voltage drop, and the number of conductors. However, mishandling or improper wiring of multiwire branch circuits can cause overloading of the grounded (neutral) conductor and/or the destruction of equipment.
Failure to properly terminate the ungrounded (hot) conductors of a multiwire branch circuit to separate phases could cause the grounded (neutral) conductor to become overloaded with excessive neutral current. Conductor overheating decreases insulating material service life, creating the potential for arc-fault fires in hidden locations.
Never remove the grounded (neutral) conductor from the grounded terminal bar in the panelboard if the phase conductors are energized — it could be part of a multiwire branch circuit, and removing it could ruin electrical equipment. A typical 3-wire circuit is actually two separate parallel circuits with a common conductor. If the grounded (neutral) conductor is opened, the circuit changes from two 120V parallel circuits to one 240V series circuit.
Consider the following example. A single-phase, 3-wire, 120/240V circuit supplies a 1,275W, 120V hair dryer and a 600W, 120V television. If the grounded (neutral) conductor is interrupted, at what voltage will the television operate, and how much power will it consume before burning up (Figure above)?
Step 1. Calculate the resistance of each appliance:
a. Hair dryer rated 1,275W at 120V
R1=(120V)2÷1,275W=11.3 ohms
b. Television rated 600W at 120V
R=(120V)2÷600W=24 ohms
Step 2. Calculate circuit resistance:
RT=11.3 ohms+24 ohms=RT=35.3 ohms
Step 3. Calculate circuit current:
IT=240V÷35.3 ohms=6.8A
Step 4. Calculate the voltage for each appliance:
a. Hair dryer: 6.8A×11.3 ohms=76.8V
b. Television: 6.8A×24 ohms=163.2V
Step 5. Calculate power consumed:
a. Hair dryer: P=(76.8)2÷11.3=522W
b. Television: P=(163.2)2÷24=1,110W
The TV will temporarily operate at 163V and consume 1,110W!
The removal of a wiring device, such as a receptacle, must not cause an interruption of continuity for the grounded (neutral) conductor in a multiwire branch circuit [300.13(B)]. Therefore, the grounded (neutral) conductors must be spliced together, and a pigtail must be provided for device terminations. The opening of the ungrounded (hot) or grounded (neutral) conductor of a 2-wire circuit during the replacement of a device doesn't create a safety hazard, so the Code doesn't require pigtailing of the grounded (neutral) conductor.
A new section in the 2002 NEC (408.21) requires each grounded (neutral) conductor to terminate within the panelboard in a terminal.

Scientific information in the digital age: Ensuring current and future access for research and innovation
Access to research results has a significant role to play in driving innovation and maintaining the quality of research. Developments in digital technology challenge existing business models and practices for making research results available, and with open access research funding bodies are taking different approaches. The Commission has therefore today launched a policy document to examine how new digital technologies can be better used to increase access to research publications and data as an important driver for innovation in our increasingly knowledge-based economy. With this new approach, the Commission launches an EU-level framework to support new ways of promoting better access to scientific information online and to preserve research results digitally for future generations. The Commission's ideas will be discussed at a major conference in Brussels on 15 and 16 February. This conference follows on from an expert study commissioned in 2006.
"The digital revolution has dramatically improved the way in which scientific information is spread," said Viviane Reding, Commissioner for Information Society and Media. "But it also raises new questions about how to preserve scientific information for the future. Today's strategy outlines how Europe can best capitalise on the excellent work of its researchers."
"New ideas are usually built on the results of previous research," added Janez Potočnik, Commissioner for Science and Research. "We must make sure that the flow of scientific information contributes to innovation and research excellence in the European Research Area".
This Communication provides an objective overview of the current state of play in Europe regarding scientific publishing and the preservation of research results, examining organisation, legal, technical and financial issues.
Digital technologies are reshaping how research information is viewed, analysed and eventually published. For example, about 90% of all science journals are now available online, often by subscription. But digital technologies are also leading to more 'open access' publishing. This provides free and wide access to publications online. Better access to research data also opens the way to new types of uses and services, often through re-using of past results as the raw material for new experimentation.
Online access to current scientific information does not guarantee its future availability. Digital information has a limited lifetime and needs to be maintained over time. Better tools and organisational steps are necessary to ensure digital preservation and thus prevent the loss of importance scientific information.
In terms of concrete measures, the Commission has already identified the following:

A Pew Research Poll finds that Mitt Romney leads President Obama among those who have already voted by a margin of 50-43. One-fifth of likely voters have already cast their ballots, according to Pew. However, Pew deems Romney's margin with this group statistically insignificant due to the small sample size.
Overall, Pew found Romney and Obama tied nationally at 47 percent each. To the extent that Romney is doing better among those who voted early, it may reflect the greater intensity of his support. A recent Gallup poll had Romney ahead among early voters by 52-46 among early voters.
At this point in the 2008 election, Obama held a big margin with early voters, according to Pew. In fact, he led John McCain by 19 points (53% to 34%). It is encouraging to see that, if anything, the tables have been turned so far in this cycle.
Of course, the big question is how the early vote is trending in the battleground states. Here, we find both campaigns claiming an advantage. Typically, we find Team Obama citing an edge in the early vote, while Team Romney shows Obama lagging well behind his 2008 edge, and argues that its early voters tend to be new voters, not folks who would automatically have turned up on election day. It's difficult for me to evaluate these kinds of competing claims, which clearly contain a fair amount of spin.
However, this analysis by the RNC of early voting in the swing state of Nevada, though probably too triumphalist, seems helpful:
Through eleven days of early voting in Nevada, the huge lead that the Democrats were supposed to run up has not materialized. In fact, the GOP has cut substantially into Democrats' margins, positioning Mitt Romney for victory on Tuesday. After the first few days of early voting, Democrats and their pundit pals were crowing, but their big talk is not matched by the numbers. Despite all the chatter from the Obama campaign about voter registration, Republicans have turned out a larger share of our newly registered voters in absentee and early voting while Democrats are just turning out the same old Election Day voters.
In order for GOP candidates to win in Nevada, we must do four things: cut into Democrats' margins in Clark County, win Washoe County, drive up turnout in rural Nevada, and win independents. All four things are happening. Let's take a look:
Clark County
Republicans narrowed the gap on early voting in Clark County by almost 9 points compared to 2008. (Republicans up 3.4%, Democrats down 5.4%.) Republicans have experienced 33 percent growth in Clark County early voters compared to this point in 2008, adding over 27,000 voters to our total. Democrats have grown by less than 8 percent, adding fewer than 12,000 voters to their total. Republicans are on pace to come out of Clark County early voting down fewer than 60,000 votes out of nearly 470,000 cast. This is a huge shift from 2008, where Republicans trailed by nearly 84,000 votes out of only 390,000 cast. It also is far short of what pundits like Nevada politics guru Jon Ralston predicted.
Washoe County
Republicans narrowed the gap on early voting in Washoe County by 14 points compared to 2008. (Republicans up 6.3%, Democrats down 7.7%.) Republicans have experienced 66 percent growth in Washoe County early voters compared to this point in 2008, adding nearly 13,000 voters to our total. Democrats have grown by less than 18 percent, adding barely 5,000 voters to their total. Currently the Democrats hold a slight edge in early vote and absentee returns in Washoe, but we've cut into their gains every day and anticipate overtaking them by the end of early voting. In 2008 we did not win a single day of early voting; this year we are poised to win overall.
Rural Nevada
Early voting turnout is up compared to 2008 in rural Nevada, which is strongly Republican. Turnout is already over 116 percent of 2008 early voting in the small rural counties of Eureka and Pershing. Altogether, through the first ten days of early voting, turnout in rural Nevada was already 83 percent of 2008. The final days of early voting are the strongest for Republicans and have the largest turnout overall.
Over 82,000 independents have already voted or have ballots in hand. PPP (10/24) shows Romney leading among independents by 9 points.
Election Day
Republicans' dominance on Election Day, through the 72-Hour Program, will put us over the top. In 2012, Romney Victory volunteers have already knocked on nearly 600,000 doors and called over 1.8 million targeted voters — twice as many phone calls and seven times as many door knocks as were done at this point four years ago.
Beyond our superior program, we will be well-positioned to turn out more voters on Election Day because there will be more Republican likely voters to turn-out. Democrats have cannibalized their most likely voters to try to maintain their margins in early voting. Through eleven days of early voting, over 57 (!!) percent of Democrats who voted in all four of the last four general elections had already requested an absentee ballot or voted early. That means Republicans have 30 percent more of our most reliable voters still available on Election Day, which will put even more power into our already-dominant 72-Hour Program.
In short, the GOP is meeting or exceeding all metrics to be successful on Election Day in Nevada, and with enthusiasm on our side we are feeling confident that Mitt Romney is positioned to take Nevada's electoral votes on Tuesday.
We shall see.

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and Menlo Ventures investor Shervin Pishevar, a backer of the on-demand limo company, witnessed the reuniting of two rap icons that have been at odds since the 90s: Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight.
The group was spotted Monday night at AV Club in Los Angeles. "N d club wit Suge miss those death row days!" Snoop posted along with the photo to Instagram.
Seeing Knight and Snoop together is so surprising, the Instagram photo is making the rounds on TMZ and MTV.
None of the gossip sites took note of Kalanick or Pishevar, however—much like the Daily Mail struggled to place Square's Jack Dorsey on that yacht with a model.
Why the rift between Snoop and Knight?
Snoop Dogg was once signed as an artist under Death Row Records, Suge Knight's label. Knight was eventually sentenced to 9 years in prison for assault charges after a fight broke out in a Vegas hotel room. That same night, Tupac Shakur was killed.
Snoop left the label, fearing for his life. He told Long Beach Press Telegram in 1998, "I definitely feel my life is in danger if I stay in Death Row Records...there's nothing over there. Suge Knight is in jail, the president; Dr. Dre left and Tupac (Shakur) is dead. It's telling me that I'm either going to be dead or in jail or I'm going to be nothing."
Knight was released from prison after serving five years of the term. This is the first time anyone has seen the two together in years.
Which still leaves us wondering, what are two well-respected Silicon Valley tech guys doing in this picture—building businesses or tasting fame?

Death toll rises from Colorado flooding
LYONS, Colo.Colorado officials have raised the death toll from this week's flooding to four after a woman's body was found in Boulder.
Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle says the body found Friday was that of a woman who was swept away Thursday after the vehicle she was riding in got stuck in water north of Boulder.
She was not identified.
A man in the same vehicle died after he got out trying to help her.
A third person died Thursday when a structure in Jamestown collapsed. To the south, Colorado Springs officers found a man's body in Fountain Creek.
CBS Denver reports that 172 people in Boulder County are still unaccounted for. Earlier, Pelle said that people who were unaccounted for weren't necessarily missing.
With rain still falling and the flood threat still real, authorities called on thousands more people in the inundated city of Boulder and nearby towns to evacuate as rivers and creeks rose to dangerous levels.
The late-night reports from Boulder and the village of Eldorado Springs came as rescuers struggled to reach dozens of people cut off by flooding in Colorado mountain communities. Residents in the Denver area and other downstream communities were warned to stay off flooded streets.} }
"This water is filled with debris and sand," Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said during a Friday morning news conference. "It's almost like liquid cement."
The towns of Lyons, Jamestown and others in the Rocky Mountain foothills have been isolated by flooding and without power or telephone since rain hanging over the region all week intensified late Wednesday and early Thursday.
At least three people were killed and another was missing, and numerous people were forced to seek shelter up and down Colorado's populated Front Range.
Two backpackers who became stranded while hiking the 14,259-foot Longs Peak were able to hike to safety, the National Park Service said Friday.
Suzanne Turell and Connie Yang of York, Maine, had sent a text message at 9 a.m. Thursday with their GPS coordinates, but their cellphones later went dead, said one of their mothers, Barbara Turell of Federick, Md.
They had a tent but did not have cold-weather gear, she said
On Thursday, a bridge that disappeared sent three vehicles into the water, CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen reported from Boulder on "CBS This Morning" Friday. Just as rescuers were about to save one driver, the water pushed the car even deeper. In the end, the motorist was one lucky man.
Late Thursday, warning sirens blared in Boulder and city officials sent notice to about 4,000 people living along Boulder Creek around the mouth of Boulder Canyon to head for higher ground, according to Boulder's Daily Camera newspaper.
The alert was prompted by rapidly rising creek levels caused by water backing up at the mouth of the canyon because of debris and mud coming off the mountainsides, the city Office of Emergency Management said.
The creek began to recede after midnight, but the conditions remained dangerous and a surprising amount of water was still flowing into the city's streets, Police Chief Mark Beckner told the Daily Camera after touring the damage.
Nick Grossman, of the Boulder Office of Emergency Management, told CBS News early Friday that Emerson Gulch, west of Boulder, washed out due to heavy rain, saturated soil and tumbling debris. The gushing water was filling Boulder Creek, which heads into downtown. That was likely to cause more flooding.
CBS Denver warned that flash flooding was still possible through the weekend and a reprieve was likely on Monday and Tuesday with clearing conditions and temperatures closer to normal.
The entire hamlet of Eldorado Springs, about 500 people, was urged to evacuate because of a flash flood and mudslide threat along South Boulder Creek, Boulder County spokesman James Burrus said.
Northwest of Boulder, the overflowing Vrain Creek cut the town of Longmont in half. Evacuation requests were issued for some neighborhoods, all major roads were closed, and several thousand homes and businesses were without power, he said.
Interstate 25 east of Loveland was closed in both directions Friday, state transportation officials said.
In Fort Collins, neighborhoods along the Cache La Poudre River were evacuated overnight, with the river expected to rise to nearly 2 feet above flood stage Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
City officials in Fort Collins closed bridges after water began topping Seaman Reservoir in the Poudre Canyon, The Denver Post reported. The city warned residents to stay clear of the river.
South of the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater, Jefferson County deputy sheriffs went door-to-door in Morrison and Kittridge, asking hundreds of residents to leave their homes as Bear Creek neared flood stage. The amphitheater was in no immediate danger.
In Lyons, residents took shelter on higher ground, including some at an elementary school. Although everyone was believed to be safe, the deluge was expected to continue into Friday.
"There's no way out of town. There's no way into town. So, basically, now we're just on an island," said Jason Stillman, 37, who was forced with his fiancee to evacuate their home in Lyons after a nearby river began to overflow into the street.
The Colorado National Guard began trucking people out of Lyons on Thursday evening.
To the north, residents along the Big Thompson Canyon in Larimer County, scene of the deadliest flash flood in state history, were also evacuated. The Big Thompson River flooded in 1976 after about a foot of rain fell in just four hours, killing 144 people.
Early Friday, the National Weather Service warned of more flash flooding in Loveland, according to the Post. NOAA reported that the Big Thompson River at Drake was more than 4 feet above its flood stage of 6 feet.
President Obama signed an emergency declaration Thursday night, freeing federal aid and allowing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts.
