This invention pertains to a LED unit for installation in a post top luminaire.
Outdoor post-top luminaires typically include a base, such as a post or other support, which supports a fitter. The fitter supports a globe that encloses a light source such as an incandescent or HID bulb. The globe may be designed with refractive surfaces, prismatic surfaces and the like to help achieve a desired light distribution from the post-top luminaire. Furthermore, a reflective shield may be included within the globe to redirect some light from the light source and help achieve a desired light distribution pattern.
Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the following Figures.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of "including," "comprising," or "having" and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. Unless limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "coupled," "in communication with" and "mounted," and variations thereof herein are used broadly and encompass direct and indirect connections, couplings, and mountings. In addition, the terms "connected" and "coupled" and variations thereof are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections or couplings.
Furthermore, and as described in subsequent paragraphs, the specific mechanical configurations illustrated in the drawings are intended to exemplify embodiments of the invention and that other alternative mechanical configurations are possible.
Referring now to the Figures, wherein like numerals refer to like parts, and in particular to
LED unit 10 has an LED driver cover 72 that may be removably affixed to the fitter 4 and that may cover at least one LED driver 74. In
Each LED panel 40 in
As depicted in
Extending rearward from each support surface of each LED panel 40 is a heatsink 148 having a plurality of curved heat fins that extend rearward and away from the support surface of each LED panel 40. In the depicted embodiments LED support surface and LED heatsink 148 are formed as an integral piece, which can be made, for example, by a casting from aluminum or an aluminum alloy such as a 356 Hadco Modified aluminum alloy. Heatsink 148 is in thermal connectivity with recessed sites 42 and any LED printed circuit boards 44 received by recessed sites 42 and helps dissipate heat generated by any LED printed circuit board 44.
With particular reference to
In the asymmetric LED panel arrangement of
Each LED panel 40 is held in place by screws 21 that are inserted through apertures in a front face of each LED panel 40 and received in one of the receptacles 23 a, 24 a, 25 a, 26 a, 27 a, or 28 a of symmetric and asymmetric frames 22. The screws 21 associated with any one LED panel 40 may be loosened to allow for movement of each LED panel 40 to another location on symmetric and asymmetric frame 22 or to remove each LED panel 40 from LED unit 10 if desired. One or more LED panels 40 may be removed to alter the distribution pattern and/or luminous intensity of LED unit 10 and may be removed by a user or prior to packaging. The ability to selectively detach and reattach each LED panel to desired connection areas on frames 22 provides an easily customizable LED unit 10 providing for flexibility in light distribution and luminosity. While a screw 21 extending through a corresponding aperture of each LED panel 40 and received in one of the receptacles 23 a-28 a has been described, one skilled in the art will recognize that other fasteners and other mechanical affixation methods may be used in some embodiments to removably attach each LED panel 40 to a given location on the frame 22. For example, prongs, fasteners, latches and/or structure extending from one or more frames 22 may interface with corresponding structure on LED panels 40. Also, this interchangeably includes prongs, fasteners, latches, and/or structure extending from LED panels 40 that correspond with structure on one or more frames 22. Also, although one embodiment of LED unit 10 has been described as having both a top and a bottom frame 22 with specific structure, one skilled in the art will recognize that other frame configurations, including singular frame configurations, may properly support LED panels 40. Also, although a specific symmetric and asymmetric arrangement of LED panels 40 have been described, one skilled in the art will recognize that other symmetric and asymmetric arrangements may be used as desired for particular light distributions and outputs.
Each LED panel 40 may be individually adjusted to a given orientation on symmetric and asymmetric frames 22 at the factory or by a user, allowing for symmetric and asymmetric distribution patterns from LED unit 10 that may be selectively adjusted as desired. Reflective shields may be used, but are not needed with LED unit 10, as LED panels 40 may be oriented on frames 22 to direct light away from a given area in order to achieve asymmetric light distribution. LED unit 10 may be used in retrofit applications if desired and LED panels 40 may be configured in a symmetric or asymmetric distribution pattern to replicate a previously existing distribution pattern, or create a new distribution pattern, while interfacing with the same preexisting globe of the post-top luminaire. In some embodiments LED unit 10 may be used to replace an incandescent light source or a metal halide light source.
A support base 76 may support the bottom frame 22 and is coupled to LED driver cover 72, which covers three LED drivers 74. In other embodiments only one LED driver, two LED drivers, or more than three LED drivers may be provided. Frame support base 76 may be interchanged at the factory or by a user with a frame support base of a differing height to permit vertical adjustment of the LED panels 40 in order to appropriately position LED unit 10 within a globe of a particular post-top luminaire. The depicted LED driver cover 72 is a Twistlock ballast cover manufactured by Hadco from die cast aluminum and is designed to rotatably engage corresponding structure extending from the top of a fitter of a post-top luminaire and be locked in place with a spring clip. The depicted LED driver cover 72 and LED unit 10 provide for tool-less installation of LED unit 10. However, as understood in the art, other driver covers may be utilized to appropriately isolate LED drivers, such as LED drivers 74. LED drivers 74 may be placed in electrical communication with one another and contain a terminal block or other connection for electrically coupling LED drivers 74 with power from a power source. In some embodiments LED drivers 74 may be one or more drivers manufactured by Magtech, part number LP1025-36-00700. In some embodiments LED drivers 74 may be one or more drivers manufactured by OSRAM, part number OT25-120-277-700E.
Referring now to
The arcuate heat fins 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e extend from proximal central channel 156 toward the longitudinal periphery of heatsink 148 and are oriented to efficiently dissipate heat from heatsink 148 when heatsink 148 is oriented vertically, horizontally, or at an angle between horizontal and vertical. Each arcuate heat fin 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e has a first end located proximal central channel 156 and a second end located proximal a trough adjacent a ridge 173 that extends longitudinally proximal the longitudinal periphery of the heatsink 148.
Heatsink 148 may be divided latitudinally into a first portion and a second portion in some embodiments. In the depicted embodiment pie shaped heat fins 160 and 161 divide heatsink 148 into a first and second portion and define a latitudinal dividing region. Each arcuate heat fin 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e is oriented such that the interior face of each arcuate heat fin 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e generally faces toward the dividing region generally defined by pie shaped heat fins 160 and 161 and generally faces away from channel 156. Also, the second end of each arcuate heat fin 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e is more distal the dividing region and channel 156 than the first end of each arcuate heat fin and the exterior face of each arcuate heat fin generally faces toward channel 156. As a result of the shape and orientation of the heat fins, the amount of heat that becomes trapped in between the heat fins and reabsorbed is reduced.
When oriented in a non-horizontal direction, heat dissipation is further optimized by heatsink 148 as a result of natural convection. For example, assuming heat fins 152 and 153 are located at a higher vertical position than heat fins 162 and 163, hot air, exemplarily designated by Arrows H in
In the depicted embodiment of heatsink 148 each arcuate heat fin 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e is a curved segment of a circle and has a corresponding arcuate heat fin that also forms a curved segment of the same circle. Also, in the depicted embodiment each arcuate heat fin 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e has a mirror imaged heat fin located on the opposite side of channel 156 that also has a corresponding arcuate heat fin that also forms a segment of the same circle. For example, arcuate heat fins 155 a and 165 a form a segment of the same circle and may generally circulate air between one another, potentially increasing the convective current. Opposite arcuate heat fins 155 a and 165 a are arcuate heat fins 154 a and 164 a, which form a segment of a circle that is the same radius of the segment of the circle formed by arcuate heat fins 155 a and 165 a. Also, arcuate heat fins 155 e and 165 e form a segment of the same circle, which is much larger than the circle partially formed by arcuate heat fins 155 a and 165 a. In other words, arcuate heat fins 155 e and 165 e have a more gradual curvature than arcuate heat fins 155 a and 165 a.
In the depicted embodiment of heatsink 148, the curvature of heat fins 154 a-e, 155 a-e, 164 a-e, and 165 a-e becomes more gradual the farther away from pie shaped heat fins 160 and 161 it is located, such that each heat fin progressively forms a segment of a larger circle. Heat fins 152, 153, 162, and 163 are not segments of a circle, but do aid in the convective process and help dissipate heat away from, and draw cooling air into, heatsink 148. Also, although the interior facing portion of arcuate heat fins 152, 153, 162, and 163 is formed from two nearly linear portions, it still has a generally arcuate overall shape. Extending along the longitudinal peripheries of heatsink 148 is a ridge portion 173, which sits atop a trough and may be provided for additional surface area for dissipation of heat.
Although heatsink 148 has been illustrated and described in detail, it should not be limited to the precise forms disclosed and obviously many modifications and variations to heatsink 148 are possible in light of the teachings herein. For example, in some embodiments some or all arcuate heat fins may not form a segment of a circle, but may instead be otherwise arcuate. Also, for example, in some embodiments some or all arcuate heat fins may not be provided with a corresponding mirror imaged heat fin on an opposite side of a channel and/or an opposite side of a dividing region. Also, for example, in some embodiments where a dividing region is present, the dividing region may not have any heat fins such as pie shaped heat fins 160 and 161. Also, for example, in some embodiments heat fins may have one or more faces formed from multiple linear segments and still be generally arcuate in shape. Although heatsink 148 has been described in conjunction with a LED unit 10, one skilled in the art will readily recognize its uses are not limited to such. Also, one skilled in the art will recognize that alternative embodiments of LED unit 10 may utilize alternative heatsinks, such as heatsinks with a plurality of linear and parallel fins, or may be provided without a heatsink if desired.
The foregoing description has been presented for purposes of illustration. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. It is understood that while certain forms of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is not limited thereto except insofar as such limitations are included in the following claims and allowable functional equivalents thereof.

Thermodynamic Theory of the Pair Correlation Function34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701031View Description Hide Description
The thermodynamic description of inhomogeneous systems is adapted to a determination of the pair correlation function. The method is most effective for describing the correlation behavior near a critical point. The critical‐point behavior is investigated for a simple model fluid of the van der Waal's type. A novel optical scattering phenomenon is predicted for the interface between two equilibrium phases for temperatures below but very near to the critical temperature. The effect of inclusions on critical point phenomena is noted.
On the Theory of Raman Intensities34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701032View Description Hide Description
The Herzberg‐Teller development for vibronic transition moments is introduced into the Kramers‐Heisenberg dispersion equation. It is shown how ``forbidden'' character (vibrationally induced intensity) in allowed electronic transitions is responsible for the Raman intensities of fundamentals. This suggests a direct link between certain vibronic spectroscopic observations and Raman intensities. The development is carried to the first order in nuclear displacements only—the higher terms give rise to Raman intensities of combinations and overtones. An equation for the polarizability components is obtained which leads directly to the Raman selection rules and in addition provides interesting predictions concerning the Raman and the resonance Raman effect in relation to excited electronic states. Rules are worked out governing the participation of excited electronic states in the Raman effect and these are employed to demonstrate a separability of σ and π contributions to the scattering of totally symmetric modes. The polarizability expression obtained here is compared with that of the semiclassical theory of Shorygin and an interesting resemblance is found. Finally it is shown how, depending on details of the electronic structure, the predicted form of the frequency dependence of scattered intensity ranges between the two expressions that have been commonly used to interpret observations.
Statistical Mechanics of Isotope Effects on the Thermodynamic Properties of Condensed Systems34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701033View Description Hide Description
Evidence for the role of molecular structure on the difference in the thermodynamic properties of isotopic molecules in the liquid and solid states is summarized. The properties considered are vapor pressure, heats of vaporization, molal volume, and transition temperatures. It is shown that the molecular structure must be taken into consideration even for small quantum effects. In the approximation of the first quantum correction the difference in thermodynamic properties of isotopic molecules in the condensed state depends upon the atomic masses and an energy parameter associated with each atom in the molecule. The results are extended to higher‐order quantum corrections for a harmonic potential. The rules of the mean are obtained directly. Various frequency distributions for the lattice modes are considered. For the case where the internal frequencies in the condensed phase are similar to the free molecule, the ordered quantum corrections can be used for T>(hv max/12(2)½ k)mol; T>(hv lattice/2πk). The role of the gas imperfection and the molal volume of the condensed phase is discussed for equilibria between gaseous and condensed phases. It is shown that the difference in molal volumes of isotopic molecules is a second‐order effect. The difference in molal volumes of isotopic molecules is evaluated by an extension of Gruneisen's equation of state to molecular lattices. The results are in good agreement with available experimental data.
Competitive Reaction Rates of Hydrogen Atoms with HCl and Cl2. Entropy Considerations of the HCl2 Transition State34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701034View Description Hide Description
The relative rates of the reactionsandwere determined in the temperature range of 0° to 62°C and found to be given byThe temperature‐independent factor in the above expression is interpreted in terms of the structure and the vibrational frequencies of the HCl2 transition state. The doubly degenerate bending frequency of this transition state is found to have a value of about 105 cm−1.
Evidence of Trapped N Atoms in X‐Ray Irradiated NaN334(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701035View Description Hide Description
Sodium azide irradiated with x rays at liquid‐nitrogen temperature displays a power sensitive ESRspectrum of three equal lines of separation 6.2 oe. This spectrum is interpreted as N14 trapped in the crystal lattice.
Nuclear Relaxation Processes of a Nonequivalent Two‐Spin System34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701036View Description Hide Description
Nuclear magnetic relaxation of a two‐spin system is discussed using Redfield's semiclassical formulation of the relaxation processes. Time dependences of longitudinal magnetizations are given as a function of the ratio J/δν0. An expression for the nuclear induction signal is given, from which the expected shape of multiplet lines and their behaviors upon saturation under various origins of the relaxation are discussed in detail. The discussion leads to the conclusion that the mechanism of nuclear relaxation can be determined by carefully analyzing the spin multiplet lines on the basis of the theory. Finally, it is shown that there is a possibility of finding the absolute sign of the spin‐spin coupling constant in a two‐spin system using the multiple resonance method.
Calculation of Pressure Shifts of Optical Absorption Spectra from Solvent Data34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701037View Description Hide Description
Frequency shifts in the absorption spectra of both polar and nonpolar absorbers have been observed at atmospheric pressure in a range of polar and nonpolar solvents and in pentane and ethanol under hydrostaticpressures up to 5000 atm. McRae's equation representing frequency shifts in terms of solventrefractive index and dielectric constant can be modified by the use of the Debye equation to represent frequency shifts in terms of solvent density. If it is assumed that the volume of the cavity occupied by the absorber remains constant with solvent density, frequency shifts resulting from an increase in hydrostaticpressure can be calculated almost to within the limit of experimental error from solvent shift data.
Microwave Spectrum of Isobutylene. Dipole Moment, Internal Barrier, Equilibrium Conformation, and Structure34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701038View Description Hide Description
The microwave spectra of isobutylene and isobutylene‐d‐3 have been studied in the region 17–36 kMc. Observed rotational constants (Mc) for isobutylene are a 0=9133.32, b 0=8381.75, c 0=4615.99; for sym‐isobutylene‐d‐3, a 0=9132.59, b 0=7788.98, c 0=4431.05; for asym‐isobutylene‐d‐3, a 0=8819.46, b 0=7981.08, c 0=4469.59. The most likely structure compatible with these data is rc–c =1.507 A, rc=c =1.34 A, r CH(methyl)=1.085 A, r CH(ethylenic)=1.086 A, <Me—C—Me=115.9°, <HCH(methyl)=108°, <HCH(ethylenic)=117.5°. Measurements of the Stark effect show that the dipole moment μ=0.503±0.009 D. Fine structure leads to a barrier height hindering internal rotation of the methyl groups of 2.21 kcal/mole. The equilibrium conformation is C2v with two methyl hydrogens in the plane of the carbon atoms and the CH bonds pointing away from the symmetry axis. It is concluded that although CC single bonds are shortened when adjacent to a double bond, the double bond length is probably not much affected by the presence of an adjacent CH3 group.
Half‐Crystal Energy Constants34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701039View Description Hide Description
Tables of the summation constants required for the calculation of surface energies of perfect half‐crystals with Lennard‐Jones types of inverse‐power pair potential functions have been calculated using an IBM 709 computer. The tables cover simple cubic, face‐centered cubic, body‐centered cubic, simple hexagonal, and hexagonal close‐packed structures with face plane orientations having Miller indices up to 5 in some cases. The inverse powers included in the tabulation extend from 5 (the lowest power for which these sums converge) to 13. The applications of these results to the calculation of grain boundary energy and spacing and to the estimation of surface distortion in half‐crystals according to methods previously developed by the author are pointed out. The energies of hcp and fcc close‐packed surfaces are compared as an example.
Scattering of High‐Velocity Neutral Particles. XI. Further Study of the He–He Potential34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701040View Description Hide Description
Results are presented for two studies of the scattering by room‐temperature helium of beams of helium atoms with controlled energies in the approximate range 150–1500 ev. The interaction potential derived from the two sets of measurements is represented byWhere there are common ranges of the interaction distance r this potential is in reasonable agreement with He–He potentials previously determined from scattering experiments. In its specified range of validity, it is somewhat lower than most of the corresponding values calculated quantum mechanically.
Probability of Initial Ring Closure in the Restricted Random‐Walk Model of a Macromolecule34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701041View Description Hide Description
The probability of initial ring closure in the restricted random‐walk model of a macromolecule is investigated. From a study of the known exact numbers of polygons on the simple quadratic lattice up to 18 sides and on the triangular lattice up to 16 sides, it is concluded that the probability of initial ring closure in two‐dimensions of large ring size k varies inversely as k 1.83—θ, where 0≤θ≤0.05, and this is significantly higher than the dependence on the inverse square of k found by Wall's statistical investigation. It is found that the mean area of initial ring closures in a plane varies as .
Statistical Mechanics of Monatomic Systems in an External Periodic Potential Field. I. Introduction, Virial Expansion, and Classical Second Virial Coefficient34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701042View Description Hide Description
In the first section a general research program is outlined which is concerned with the behavior of an equilibrium macroscopic system (gas, liquid, or solid) of monatomic molecules in an external periodic potential field. The problems of particular interest are: condensationtheory; crystalline state and theory of fusion; ideal degenerate gases; distribution functions; virial expansion for a gas; and the very dilute gas. In the second section the virial expansion is discussed and the classical second virial coefficient for an adsorbed monolayer on a crystal surface is calculated as an illustration. This computation is compared with results obtained from the two conventional cases which are limiting forms of the present treatment: mobile and localized adsorption. The differences are considerable.
Statistical Mechanics of Monatomic Systems in an External Periodic Potential Field. II. Distribution Function Theory for Fluids34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701043View Description Hide Description
The theory of distribution functions for monatomic systems in an external periodic potential field is outlined. Particular attention is given to the equation of state, the second virial coefficient, and the Kirkwood and Born‐Green‐Yvon integral equations for the distribution functions. A brief discussion of a nonperiodic external field is given in an Appendix.
Infrared Spectra of Methanol and Deuterated Methanols in Gas, Liquid, and Solid Phases34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701044View Description Hide Description
The infrared spectra of CH3OH, CH3OD, CD3OH, and CD3OD in the five phases gas, liquid, vitreous solid, α‐crystal, and (except perhaps for CD3OH and CD3OD for which the solid‐solidtransitions have not been studied) β‐crystal have been recorded in the range 4000 to 300 cm−1. The Raman spectrum of liquid CD3OH has been recorded. A complete assignment of the internal modes is given, which differs somewhat from previous assignments for the CH3 bending and rocking vibrations. No significant difference in spectrum occurred between the α‐crystal and β‐crystal phases. Under the full symmetry of the β‐phase determined by x‐ray diffraction only one OH out‐of‐plane bending band should occur. Two bands are observed, and it is concluded that the carbon and oxygen atoms in one chain are not coplanar, as is required by the symmetry determined by x‐ray diffraction [K. J. Tauer and W. N. Lipscomb, Acta Cryst. 5, 606 (1952)], but that the chains are puckered and the x‐ray symmetry arises because the puckered chains are irregularly distributed, a structure that had been previously suggested by Tauer and Lipscomb tentatively on the basis of high apparent thermal amplitudes. Bands occur in the crystal spectra near 500 cm−1 and 340 cm−1 at −180°C. These are interpreted as lattice modes, probably the two infrared‐active modes that involve translations of the molecules.
Difference of Intermolecular Potentials of CH3OH and CH3OD34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701045View Description Hide Description
The intermolecular potentials of CH3OH and CH3OD have been examined using the difference of the heats of vaporization at 0°K obtained from thermal data, and the vibrational frequencies obtained from the preceding paper. They do not differ within the accuracy of the measurements. The intermolecular potential due to the change of the intramolecular zero‐point energy is greater for CH3OH than for CH3OD, and so the other contributions to the intermolecular potential, viz., repulsive, dispersion, electrostatic, etc., energies, are greater by 459±∼260 joule mole−1 for the deuterium bond than for the hydrogen bond. This might be due mainly to a higher polarity of CH3OD than of CH3OH.
Condensation of Atomic and Molecular Hydrogen at Low Temperatures34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701046View Description Hide Description
With the use of reflected modulated atomic‐beam techniques, the reflection of hydrogen atoms and molecules at cold surfaces has been examined. It was found that at low temperatures (∼4°K) hydrogen atoms reflect as atoms with a very high probability. The reflection of hydrogen molecules is strongly dependent upon the amount of water vapor condensed on the target previously to or simultaneously with the H2. The fact that condensation of stable gases can be affected by simultaneous condensation of water vapor at temperatures exceeding the gases' normal boiling points leads to an application in the form of an extraordinarily inexpensive way to produce vacuums in the 10−5 mm Hg range.
Second‐Order Effects in Low‐Field NMR for Ammonium Ion Solutions34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701047View Description Hide Description
Low‐field free‐precession signals from aqueous ammonium nitrate solutions show a complex beat pattern containing the 52.55 cps first‐order spin‐spin splitting observed at high fields and also a 1.35 cps second‐order splitting when the proton precession frequency is 2137 cps. The T 1 is slightly longer for the ammonium hydrogen than for the water hydrogen; T 2 is shorter than T 1 for the ammonium hydrogen and is shorter for the outer lines than for the central line.
Spin‐Lattice Relaxation Time of F19 Nuclei in Ag2F34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701048View Description Hide Description
The spin‐lattice relaxation time of F19 nuclei in Ag2F crystals has been measured at several temperatures. From the inverse proportionality constant of the relaxation time with respect to temperature in conjunction with the Korringa's theory, it is concluded that the relatively large paramagnetic shift observed is not due to the second‐order paramagnetism but to the hyperfine interaction between conduction electrons and F19 nuclei.
Application of a Theory of Nonideal Solutions to Results of Ultrasonic Absorption Measurements34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701049View Description Hide Description
It is shown that results of ultrasonic absorption measurements on solutions can sometimes be explained by application of a theory of nonideal solutions when the corresponding ideal‐solution theory is inadequate. The results of ultrasonic absorption in tertiary butanol solutions in cyclohexane reported recently by R. Musa and M. Eisner are studied using a theory of nonideal solutions. This differs from the corresponding ideal‐solution theory by the appearance of terms proportional to the derivatives of the ratio (k/l) of the relevant rate constants with respect to the concentration of the solute. In ideal solutions, these derivatives are zero. It is assumed that monomers and dimers are the only complexes present and it is concluded that a perturbation of the monomer‐dimer equilibrium is responsible for the measured ``excess absorption.'' The nonideality of the solutions is discussed, and a ``nonideality coefficient'' is introduced. A comparison with the imperfect gas theory of Tabuchi is made.
Mass Spectrometer Investigation of Ionization of N2O by Electron Impact34(1961); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1701050View Description Hide Description
The N2O molecule has been studied with a nearly monoenergetic electron beam. A result of the positive ion data is a value for D(N2–O) ≤ 1.34±0.2 ev and a value of D(N–NO) ≤ 4.50+0.10 ev. Measurements were made of the kinetic energies of the ions formed. N+ and N2 + are found to have zero kinetic energy at threshold. The production of an O− ion is observed with an appearance potential in the range 0 to 0.05 ev.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - On Monday night, an Israel Air Force (IAF) strike on a Palestinian terror cell killed one gunman. Givati Brigade infantrymen entered the Strip following the air strike, killing two other cell members.
The incident took place at the northern end of the Gaza Strip, just north of Beit Lahiya.
After spotting the gunmen moving toward the border, about 1,000 feet from the security fence, the aircraft fired, killing one terrorist.
The Givati Brigade unit found Kalashnikov rifles, grenades and anti-tank missiles on the bodies.
Earlier Monday evening, a Kassam rocket fell short of its target, hitting a house in the Arab town of Beit Hanoun, near the border with Israel. Three Palestinians were injured.
Palestinian sources claimed the house was hit by an Israeli tank shell, though there were no tanks in the area.
Meanwhile, a four-year-old boy at Kibbutz Gevim in the western Negev was hit by shrapnel in a Kassam rocket attack.
"We had just returned from the north and the boy was sitting in the back seat of the car. As we arrived at the kibbutz, we heard the Color Red [warning siren], and the Kassam landed in our backyard.
"The shrapnel pierced the car near the fuel tank and hit the boy's shoulder. He was evacuated to the hospital for treatment," his dad said.

Les Miles met with the media after practice wrapped up. We'll have the notes on what he had to say after our complete practice report from Thursday's action. LSU will have a partial practice Saturday before the first scrimmage of the spring, so stay tuned for more coverage of LSU's spring practices.
All the notes and observations from Thursday's practice can be found below.
With the Tigers in full pads Thursday, they kicked things off the traditional Big Cat drill to get practice going. Miles would say after practice that the defense has won an overwhelming majority of those Big Cat reps. That certainly was the case, and Kendell Beckwith was a big winner in his rep against Desean Smith on Thursday.
After the Big Cat, LSU broke for individual position drills, where there were some notable players missing in action. In addition to Jermauria Rasco and Corey Thompson, who will both likely miss the entire spring camp, Danielle Hunter, Kwon Alexander, Kevin Spears and Avery Peterson were all out Thursday.
The injury bug was particularly hard on the wide receivers, as LSU was left with just three scholarship receivers to work with the quarterbacks. Spears has missed two consecutive practices, and Miles said Peterson suffered a hamstring injury in Tuesday's session.
Cameron really wants Jennings to take big steps in his dropback, giving him time to let the route develop and read the defense. That would also help alleviate any pressure coming from the line, but it's something Jennings continues to work on. Cameron seems to be very patient with his young quarterbacks though, and said many times "this is why we do this" to prevent any from feeling the frustration.
In Hunter's absence on the defensive line, Justin Maclin stepped in with the first-team opposite Jordan Allen. On the inside, Frank Herron has been working exclusively with the tackles this spring. Miles said they're giving him a look at that position, and it's obvious filling out the DT rotation is a big focus for LSU this spring.
At linebacker, Deion Jones and Duke Riley saw added reps with Alexander sidelined. Lamar Louis, who has moved from the inside to the outside, actually spent the portion of practice open to media with the defensive backs working on pressing receivers. His new position will come with a lot of responsibility in defending the pass, and the coaches spent Thursday giving him some added instruction in that area.
Below you'll find some select quotes and from Miles' post-practice press conference Thursday:
On having patience with the young quarterbacks…
"We're handling the process of offense, all those things that make quarterbacks. It takes some time. The good news is we're putting every attention to giving them experiences they'll need to have when they get to Saturdays in the fall…
"The quarterback is a position of toughness, a position of mental dexterity, a position of communication and athletic talent. All of those things have to show up. It takes some time. That's why the experienced quarterbacks look better than the not so [experienced] but both are coming quickly and I like our movement."
On the competition at right guard, which has mostly seen Evan Washington and Fehoko Fanaika battling for the spot…
"We're going to need everybody. One day you put Hoko in there and have a look at him. One day you put Evan in there and have a look at him. Then you have a look at [Ethan] Pocic, see what he looks like there. We're looking at a number of combinations, but we're not willing to say who's the starter and who's not. We're making sure everybody's multi-trained."
On what he's seen from the running backs this spring…
"The two tailbacks were very productive in today's practice as we'd expect them to be in the fall as well. [Terrence] Magee's having a very fine spring as is [Kenny] Hilliard. We went to [fullback Melvin] Jones to give some big-back carries as well, and he's looking good. We're enjoying the development of the running backs. We're doing the things we need to do there to keep our two-back attack very strong."
On the development of his wide receivers…
"No question [Travin Dural and John Diarse] are playing very well. The tight ends are playing better as well in the receiving end. To a point, we're getting some guys ready to play on Saturdays, and there will be a good quality receiving corps coming in [this summer] that will really pursue playing time."
On finding some players to take over the return game (Miles mentioned Magee as a candidate)…
"There are a number of guys that can catch it. There's a likelihood we'll have those fast guys in that spot, and there are some guys that'll show up in June that will have some opportunity to do some return damage."

Dr. Lipman: You say in your book that obesity is not from eating too many calories or expending too few. Can you explain?
Dr. Fung: Obesity is often considered a problem of excessive calories. This caloric obsession has been indoctrinated into all of us since we were children. Too many calories in, too few calories out, or some combination is what we believe leads to weight gain and obesity. If it were indeed true that excess calories leads to weight gain, then the solution is simple: Reduce calories eaten. This has formed the standard dietary advice of the last 50 years. And it has failed spectacularly. Obesity rates have skyrocketed upward despite continual exhortations to cut calories.

The A-list couple spent a romantic date night at Giorgio Baldi Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California on Tuesday, and was unexpectedly interrupted by a young male fan.
Swift, 26, wore a backless black mini dress, looking ever-so chic with a metallic headband and bold red lip. Harris, 31, looked dapper in casual dark clothing.
"Awesome dinner with mom and dad," the fan captioned the photo of himself sitting next to the smiling DJ.
According to the fan, the pair didn't seem to mind the extra company on their date. "[Taylor] is sooo nice," he later commented on his photo in response to another fan.
Swift and Harris – who took their relationship public early last year – appear to be happier than ever.
Over the holidays, the cute couple spent time with the singer's family in Vail, Colorado, where they built a snowman with her younger brother Austin. And on New Year's Eve, Swift was spotted cheering on her boyfriend while he performed at Omnia nightclub in Las Vegas.
While things have been serious between the two,a spokesperson for Swift denied rumors they are living together.

Advocates for increasing the paychecks of low-wage workers held twin rallies in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
In Harrisburg, politicians, religious, community, and labor leaders gathered at the Capitol Media Center to announce a push to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 from the current $7.25.
And in front of a North Philadelphia McDonald's, restaurant workers, activists, and labor officials met to urge the fast-food giant to pay its workers $15 an hour and to not interfere with their joining a union.
"We're overworked and underpaid," said Aymaesha Thompson, 19, a single mother who lives in Philadelphia and who joined the protest before crossing the parking lot to start her shift at the McDonald's at Broad Street and Girard Avenue.

The analysis of the LRC-CPPT results was entirely consistent with the hypothesis set forth in the study protocol adopted by the LRC investigators in 1973: "It is postulated that cholesterol reduction with a bile acid sequestrant will produce a significant decrease in the death rate from atherosclerotic coronary heart disease and in the occurrence rate of definite nonfatal myocardial infarction in a group of asymptomatic patients with primary type II hyperlipoproteinemia, also receiving a cholesterol lowering diet, when compared with a diet and placebo treated group." The term "significant" was not defined in terms of a particular statistical probability level.The statement cited by Drs L'Abbeé, Detsky, and Logan was taken from a published description of the procedure for estimating a sample size sufficient to provide the LRC-CPPT with the statistical power to test this hypothesis.

Fashion Winners, Flops, And Who Fell? The 2013 Oscars
Category: Entertainment
/ Feb 25, 2013 10:42AM EDT
Hollywood's night of nights begun fashionably on the red carpet for the 85th Academy Awards: Trends from the night included a lot of glitz; embellishments and dramatic dresses that screamed go big or go home. Stars like Naomi Watts and best gal pal Nicole Kidman chose one of the hottest trends of the night in their sparkling metallic gowns that seemed to fit like a second skin. Best supporting actress nominee Amy Adams looked every bit the Hollywood starlet in her princess Oscar de le Renta gown that would make even Cinderella jealous. Sally Field looked every bit the Hollywood royalty that she is dazzling in a ravishing red dress by Valentino. The best supporting actress nominee proved that style and grace can be attained at any age with this classic Hollywood look. Anne Hathaway one of the nights big winners for her performance in "Les Miserables" left the fashion crowd underwhelmed in her baby pink Prada number. Often regaled for her classic red carpet style, Hathaway dropped the fashion ball on Hollywood's night of nights. She may have walked away with an Oscar, but she will not win any fashion cred for her ill-fitting dress that lacked any sort of Oscar wow factor. One of the best dressed of the night was none other than Jennifer Lawrence. The best actress winner stole the spotlight on the red carpet with her dramatic strapless Dior Couture gown that left no one wondering who the bell of the awards was. Despite her fall accepting her gold statue the young star proved that she is a winner both on the screen and on the red carpet.

I've just recieved word that a good friend of mine has got through the Jetstar interview process and will be starting with them in the near future as an FA. This is just about perfect timing as, because as some of you know recently I've been pushing how much a better job I think the SQ girls do...regardless I know this guy will make a good FA as he really does care about service.
Anyway my quesiton is such. I prepared him for the interview, and for the purposes of staff travel allowences I am going to be "the domestic partner"..... and what I would like to know is what exactly jetstar offer their staff in this regard?
ID95 I'm guessing?
Can anybody shed some light? I am hoping to go to the USA a lot more as I am working on a major project over there, and if I could get myself on UA or NZ business class...or first class for a reasonable price I'd be very happy...or even QF business for that matter.
So...can anybody shed some light?

Skip to comments.How much is President Bush and Bushies to Blame for this Loss?
Posted on 11/07/2006 10:19:51 PM PST by Brian_Baldwin
This loss is going to have historical consequences how much is President Bush to blame for this loss? Is it too early to say that the blame for this loss rests squarely with President Bush and the Bushbots?
Bush? Or is it Bush and the RINOs? . . . And worst of all to blame, the fault of what some talk show hosts call the Harriet Myers Storm-trooper crowd of Bushbots who simply would bray like a donkey whenever conservatives brought up the obvious problems with Bush from illegal immigration, to port deals, to his globalist friends and massive spending?
Well, it isnt going to just be me saying that President Bush and the bots wasted too many years, they had the power and blew it.
Only in the last couple weeks did Bush start to try to get the message out about the good economy, but the fact is there were many conservatives who kept saying this is a winning message for a long time, if only the Republicans would get serious about getting the message out --- and the reply from the Bushbots was the DOW and the stock market isnt the same as the economy, ignoring that the important message about the economy wasnt just the stock market but much more.
The Republicans were on a dog and pony show with the Bushies, of which some now call the Bushbots, and years were wasted with what many now say were idiots who followed someone who never was a conservative anyway. The reality might just start to sink in that Bush just used some conservative lingo to take these idiots for a ride.
Yes, the President was on track regarding the war on terrorism and yes, he and everyone else were correct that this war wont be over in one or two years. The point being no, Bush didnt own the adage that this will not be a short war, but will be a long war, perhaps decades long and everyone who understood the enemy said the same, and were saying so before even Bush took office in 2000.
In fact, many of these conservatives were saying Usama bin Laden and the Islamic terrorists et all hit the Trade Center once and he was coming back to finish the job, but Bush was too busy running around with Vicente Fox talking amnesty to listen.
But dont worry, Bush will probably get his amnesty now. No, Im not talking about the amnesty for Iraqi insurgents who killed American soldiers (no amnesty for our soldiers being held for war crimes?), no I talking about amnesty for illegal aliens from Mexico. And one may as well say exactly what we are talking about here this isnt about amnesty for illegal aliens from Jamaica, nor Russians, and such its all about illegal aliens from Mexico, which once given will be irreversible, America will not be the same ever again and no one will be able to turn it around once done, because its done.
The best hope in stopping the Bush amnesty was a Republican victory in the House in 2006, but the Bushbots sunk it for us all and now with the Democrats running the show you are going to see an amnesty bill forwarded and Bush will sign it with a smile as a great example of bipartisan leadership.
The funding for the war in Iraq will likely now be cut off, a front in the battle on terrorism of which Bush wasnt fighting as a war against the terrorists anymore yes, let me say that President Bush has been doing a good job regarding the war on terrorism so lets just get that out there now - but, it seemed more like he was thinking the war on that particular front was over and he was building Democracy and sure didnt want to accidentally kill any Iraqi civilians in the process because it wouldnt look good in the New York Times and CNN.
Anyway, for sure the Democrats are going to have the leverage to screw us up on that one and cut and run not just in Iraq but everywhere. If and when the Democrats get there way, which they likely now will, what that tells the world, since Vietnam, and now Iraq which really was a punch drunk easy war as far as any war goes, the message to the world will now be that America can never win another war.
And that is really bad news since a lot of Americans are going to die as a result.
What that means is Iran now runs the region. And billions and billions and billions of dinars will sponsor further terrorism as they dance in the street having defeated the great Satan and the Islamic terrorist with a likely victory in Iraq will do exactly what they already said they are going to do: they will turn their attention to overthrowing the governments of Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan.
Pakistan already has the nuclear bomb.
The governments of Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan are next on the head-chopping list, of which the Islamic fundamentalists may likely have very good success on instigating the axe. Because, at least Bush did a good job on the war on terrorism, but you can absolutely count on it that if the Democrats are going to call the shots, the region is going to explode; the Islamic terrorist front will be global like no ones business.
The idiots have been saying the war on Iraq fomented more Islamic terrorists.
The fact is, the growth of Islamic terrorism is an historical trend of which was escalating before Iraq, was on the march and would have been as life-size now whether we invaded Iraq or not, in fact likely even more so if their march wasnt tripped up a bit in old Babylon.
We have a great economy.
But the economy wont be great after the terrorist hit us again. In fact, when it happens, dont be surprised how fast you are going to lose your job.
Democrats running the House. Now just watch the war. The war isnt over. Its now going to get bigger than ever.
Well, I guess some are saying, with the Dems running things, they take the blame for things, too. The problem with this is, the old media will still blame everything on Bush. So, unless the American people figure out that what is about to happen to America was the fault of the Democrats, then we are in big trouble.
But we were already in big trouble with this election. And a lot of Americans didnt understand the consequences now, and this will be the same crowd who wont understand later when everything blows up in our face.
I suppose some are thinking that all I have been doing is the same as the Democrats to simply blame Bush for everything.
No, I dont blame Bush for everything. I blame myself. Because, for some reason, I didnt get involved enough, involved with other conservatives to get the conservative message to Americans.
Thank you President Bush, you have had to deal with a lot of crap from the old media. As far as Im concerned, I consider them an enemy of Democracy.
In fact, I consider the Democratic Party an enemy of Democracy.
And, thank you President Bush, since 911 we, America, hasnt had another major terrorist attack on our soil. I give the President thanks for this. It has been a blessing.
I dont think this blessing is going to last much longer. Not after tonight.
Miers was the 101'st most qualified person for the position. This loss had to do with the war and the media.
And btw, in case it's been neglected in the heat of the week: Welcome to FR, Keeper. I like your posts...
I fear the Dems in power in the house,we may actually get situation similar to the series"JERICHO" having watched the show<i am distressed by such a prospect.GOD haelp President Bush and GOD help the U.S.!!!
Well,I've been told I'm so conservative I have to look to my left to see the Pope.
Alcee "IMPEACHED CROOK" HASTINGS is chairing US Intelligence Committee.
Feel safe?
I think America is going to be horrified when they see the Democrat freak show roll out.
Dems won't win WH in 2008.
Not neccessarily.
I am a conservative, and by your standards I would qualify as very conservative
You knon't know me or my standards.....lol.The GWOT was too important to lose over a temper tantrum by the right.
The terror war will not be lost. It's just a matter of how many of our brave warriours and citizens must fall. I don't know these things, but I do hope that Americans will not ever have to quake in fear of nuc's on our soil...If we do I will lose a great deal of faith in our people.
True, but Clinton was impeached by the House and the Senate left him in office. Same could happen to Bush if he keeps the Senate Republicans on his side. But looking back on the Clinton Impeachment, the Democrats would have been better off in the long run by removing Clinton from office. Gore would have used the incumbency advantage to beat the Electoral College margin, assuming of course that he did not have to pardon Clinton. So if Cheney wants to run in 2008, all bets are off with regards to the US Senate. Unfortunately it is also possible that we could have a Nixon replay here. The new dynamic now is that we have crazy leaders in Iran, Venezuela and North Korea. They will probably force our hands because DC is split and weak once again. In a nut shell, we are in for a very rocky ride. The Democrats used hook and crook (Foley, MSM et. al.) to be in power and my guess is they will probably end up wondering if it was worth it all.
I read Krauthammer and Steyn. From what they say, this is a "normal" mid-term response.
From the article:
What to say about such a victory? Substantial, yes. Historic, no. Before proclaiming a landslide, one has to ask Henny Youngman's question: "Compared to what?" (His answer to: "How's your wife?") Since the end of World War II, the average loss for a second-term presidency in its sixth year has been 29 House seats and six Senate seats. If you go back to Franklin Roosevelt's second term, the House loss average jumps to 35. Thus a 25/6 House and Senate loss would be about (and slightly below) the historical average.
IMHO - You are correct. A bunch of singularly bad issues all added up. Katrina Debacle, Long Iraq War, Illegal Immigration Issue, Meirs Appointment, Foley Resignation, Lack of Fiscal Spending Control, MidTerm Election History, Weak Congressional Leadership, Delay Scandal in Congress, Numerous Close Races for Incumbent Republicans, MSM Attacks, etc. etc..
This loss has to do with the pathetic prosecution of the war in Iraq. The State Dept and Dept. of Defense are so worried about fighting a PC war that they will not let the military fight the war as they have been taught. The results: War drags on, lots of US casualties, people get tired of never decisively winning and finishing the war. The only way to win is to deliver a crushing blow...and we haven't done that to anyone since WWII.
This loss, also, has to do with the lack of strong leadership in Congress by Republicans. And it has to do with Bush's poor communication skills inhibiting him from being able to rally Republican leaders and Republican voters to work for the program. Just look at the list of failures that took place WITH a Republican controlled Congress. Don't get me wrong, I love the Pres...he just can't get the message out effectively.
We then suffered through attacks on Meiers, the NSA security, Dubai ports, etc. Those creeps act like they are so smart, and they are nothing but worthless sideline carpers who don't contribute a thing to our side, but suck up money we could spend on other things instead of their books and magazines. To heck with them.
And because of this constant criticism, one-issue Republicans stayed home. There were even some who stayed home in Indiana because the Republican governor instituted Daylight Savings Time...real smart, huh?
Pfui. Anyone who comes on here blaming Bush supporters for this loss is a complete jerk, and that is YOU, Brian Baldwin!
Along with the lib media...I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately some of our "special" citizens need a constant reminder they can relate to, feeling there pain and what not...You just know Bush ain't tellin you that pap and lots of independents want it.
I blame it on morons like Brian_Baldwin.
The Republicans would have swept to a huge victory if they had not alienated their base support by their:
1. Failure to close the Mexican border and halt illegal immigration,
2. Failure to nullify the effects of the Kelo decision--immediately, and
3. Expansion of federal entitlements to include prescription drugs!
There are idiots who want to have a government like the Italians because of their so called "principles".
Well, now we have it, thanks to them.
"If we had a united front, this would not have happened.
Flame away....not really interested in your response anyway."
No Flame.....A United Front would have gone a long way to avoiding the present outcome of the election, however, the Republicans would have had to have united around a conservative agenda to win. They didn't we lost.
There is a lot of disillusionment by those who previously voted Republican because their Republican-held government didn't reduce the size and control of government. Unfortunately, non-defense federal spending has grown MUCH faster with Republicans in control than it did when the Democrats were in control.
Look at the pig trough of congressional budget "earmarks" (expensive pet projects) that have exploded the federal budget during Republican leadership.
Where is a conservative to go?
The name-calling won't help. If you sell out your most faithful, you can't win.
If the conservatives lost heart and stayed home, who was in power to let them down?
I don't like the personal attacks I am reading here. If you want conservatives like me to abandon this site completely, keep up the personal attacks.
Well, it isnt going to just be me saying that President Bush and the bots wasted too many years, they had the power and blew it.
Stated perfectly.
Yeah, and you took it all with a smile. You own the bully pulpit, Mr. Bush, but YOU DON'T USE IT WORTH A CRAP. We are at war AT HOME AND ABROAD. You could have fought EVERY LAST LIE from the Democrats and their media, but you just let them lay out there and metastasize. Your silence is deafening.
I would say the House and Senate rode his coat tails for three elections.
Yea right whatever. The Repubs should learn they can't act like Neo-CON clowns and expect to win. Big government, nanny state, deficit exploding, world cop playin life wasting neo-CON fools. Whose brillant idea was this on how to get elected? Oh right the head Neo-CON in chief. Too bad they didnt listen to Pat Buchanan.
I think it was the off year hit. The same one that MOST presidents take. I'd imagine there are exceptions (FDR in WWII, Clinton after impeachment), but Bush had no such exception. As seriously as we may take the War, most of America is seeing only a running total of US troops lost.
For all of the wailing, we're still around the historical average (I think it's 6 senators, and something like 30 house members) of 'mid term casualties.'
I also think (MHO, of course) that there are a lot of things that we, as opposed to the Dems, hammer out in public that ought to be handled in private. That is to say, 'throw the bums out' in the primary, as opposed to the general, election.
The gripping hand, though, is that it's a lot easier to be unified in public when you don't really have to propose anything. Take immigration as an example. We're all hot and bothered by it, from a number of different points of view. What position do the dems have? That their against us! So, a vote for the D column (or a non-vote in the R) becomes a vote for or against border enforcement, for or against amnesty, for or against compromise, take your pick.
Their policy this year was identical to Carroll's Red Queen's take on the meaning of words: their policy meant exactly what they wanted it to mean at any given moment; it could change on a dime.
As you pointed out, this was an across the board rebuke to the party in charge. Yes, even an anti-war guy (Chafee) lost.
Well, they can now say they've taught those bums a lesson.
Bet it gives 'em a big case of the 'warm fuzzies.'
Neo cons??? The only neo cons are folks like Bill Kristol and his ilk. And they don't much like Bush.
RINO's are an endangered species, you're just late in figuring that out. Blackbird.
It may take a few weeks for that to set in on the chattering monkey's. Their days of shouting down Conservatives at every turn are long gone. That reality will either set in, or they will be wondering around in the minority for decades to come. It is their choice. The RATpublican thing didn't work out too well for them. Blackbird.
Enjoy your minority! It's a little late for your great hate GOTV effort, isn't it? Blackbird.
LOL! Well, welcome to the minority! RINO heaven! Blackbird.
Wish you had put that up for signatures before sending it out. Something to consider next time? Blackbird.
I don't care who you are, that's LOL funny as he!!. Delusional, to the extreme, but damn funny none the less. Keep 'em coming Howlin! Blackbird.
There, fixed your LIE for you. No charge! Blackbird.
You got a lot of work ahead of you. FR will be a lonely place with the dozen or so you harping monkey's glad slapping each other on the back all day. Purge away! Blackbird.
I am enjoying the minority because now we can get real leaders with spines.
Finding any worms with your head in the sand?
Finding any in the bad hash you've been using?
Hope you are enjoying your delusion.
One can hope that the RNC realizes this need. One can hope. Blackbird.
The time for diplomacy is after victory! Destroy the enemy, then rebuild your new allies.
After mulling it over (and after a very restless night of not much sleep), I think you pegged it about the war as the reason JD lost here. People here are strongly opposed to illegal immigration, but I find more are opposed to the direction of the war and whoever is backing the president on the issue. That is an evident pattern across the country, and was/is the #1 issue in this election.
I was driving through Tempe this AM, and I saw a huge JD Hayworth for US Congress sign at one corner. Above it, had a small sign attached, "Voted for the war in Iraq." I had to chuckle when I saw another sign attached to this one, "Please don't steal his sign, Harry!"
Hey, Fox News just mentioned that Rumsfield is stepping down. What do you know about that?
Like others, I don't see a good candidate of the sort we need. But I would say that there must be a good conservative Governor out there somewhere, but I 'm just not all that familiar with the governors. Certainly not Pataki, not Rudy... Ron Reagans are few and far between. I wouldn't be too surprised if we got Rudy though.
McQueeg's divorce problems are a bit different and IMO, worse.
The President did his job. The "Bots" voted and did their jobs. Speaker Pelosi thanks you for you contribution.
When we lost seats in Conn., Jersey, Pa.,N.H., etc., immigration is NOT the motivating source of GOP losses!
How can I be a "metrosexual"? I am a woman; sweetums! ;^)

Julianne Hough Won't Be Dancing with the Stars Next Year
As this season of Dancing with the Stars drags toward the end, Julianne Hough doesn't have good news about the upcoming season:
She won't be appearing on it.
As this season of Dancing with the Stars drags toward the end, Julianne Hough doesn't have good news about the upcoming season:
She won't be appearing on it.
They were spotted together at Wednesday night's Country Music Awards, but fans shouldn't get the wrong idea.
Julianne Hough says her and Chuck Wicks are still taking time apart.
Julianne Hough has a new hair color.
Now, the hunt is on for a new man!
This has been a lackluster season of Dancing with the Stars.
That has a lot to do with the abundance of Z-list celebrities, as few viewers got excited over Louie Vito or Mark Dacascos. But it also has a lot to do with another factor:
Our latest fashion face-off featuring stars at the premiere of Michael Jackson's This Is It documentary last night holds an interesting connection to the King of Pop.
Or at least his last director. Kenny Ortega directed This Is It, and is also known for heading the High School Musical franchise, which starred Ashley Tisdale (right).
Our favorite Dancing with the Stars professional/aspiring country music singer/outright hottie celebrates her birthday today.
Indeed, Julianne Hough turns 21 years old, meaning this chaste beauty can finally swallow something a bit harder than water.
Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough may need to dust off her dancing shoes for a different occasion - she's been offered the lead female role in Footloose!
If she accepts the part opposite Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford, it will be the first major film role for the dancer - who's also an up-and-coming country singer.
Julianne Hough is taking her beauty - and, likely, millions of male viewers - away from Dancing with the Stars next season.
"I'm not doing next season," Hough told Access Hollywood, following her and Chuck Wicks' elimination this week. "I'm gonna take one off."
The bad news for Chuck Wicks: he was sent home on Dancing with the Stars last night.
The good news for Chuck Wicks: he gets to spend that time at home with former partner and current gorgeous girlfriend Julianne Hough.
The Rumba is all about being romantic. And we need to get that back.
So said Julianne Hough on last night's Dancing with the Stars, in a video that aired immediately before she and boyfriend Chuck Wicks got their romance back... and a whole lot more!
One is actually a country singer, who won the award for Best New Artist at last night's Academy of Country Music Awards.

Amendment codifies three-year old variance on decompression chamber requirements
WASHINGTON -- Recreational diving instructors and diving guides would be allowed to use alternatives to an on-site decompression chamber under OSHA's proposed amendment to its Commercial Diving Operations standard, the agency announced today. The proposal is published in today's Federal Register.
The proposed changes to the standard would allow these particular divers the opportunity to use nitrox breathing gas under specified conditions, thereby making a decompression chamber near the dive site unnecessary. The changes impact recreational divers who rely on self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) and dive at depths of 130 feet or less. The revision does not change requirements for commercial divers who do not regularly use SCUBA gear due to the nature of their work and the length of time they must spend underwater.
"The diving industry has developed innovative diving methods and procedures that have helped prevent and treat diving accidents such as decompression sickness and embolism," said OSHA Administrator John Henshaw. "By relieving many of the industry's employers of an unnecessary regulatory requirement, we believe our proposed revision will help them focus even more on the safety and health of their workers."
In nitrox diving, a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases replaces compressed air as the breathing gas. The partial pressure of nitrogen (the gas that causes decompression sickness) in the gas mixture is lower than compressed air, and that lower pressure allows the diver to remain longer at specified depths than conventional SCUBA divers who breathe compressed air at those depths, and to do so without increasing their risk of decompression sickness.
OSHA is basing its proposal on a variance granted to Florida-based Dixie Divers, Inc. in 1999. That variance exempted Dixie from OSHA's decompression-chamber requirements for recreational diving instructors and diving guides, under the same conditions mentioned above. The proposal will incorporate the terms and conditions of that variance into the standard itself.
Comments on the proposed revisions must be submitted by Apr. 10, 2003.
