Prison guard overtime up as positions go unfilled
Madison - Overtime for prison guards was up sharply last fiscal year and is up slightly again this year despite changes in overtime rules resulting from the repeal of most public union bargaining. A state Department of Corrections spokeswoman said that for the fiscal year that started in July, the new law and policies have been trumped by other factors like a big jump in vacant positions.
However, the changes, which only started in January, are starting to have an effect, Corrections spokeswoman Linda Eggert said.
Under the previous system, workers who called in sick for a shift and then worked the immediate next shift were paid one shift at their regular pay and the other at time and a half. »Read Full Article(112)

Waukesha mayor's fund to make farmers market donation
Waukesha - Mayor Jeff Scrima's New Day in Waukesha Fund - set up to fulfill his promise of returning half his mayoral salary to the community - is prepared to donate $23,312 for restoration of the canopy structure at the Farmers Market area.
The Common Council is scheduled to accept the donation during its 7:30 p.m. meeting Thursday, with the Finance Committee set to make a recommendation earlier that evening.
Scrima had announced during the 2012 budget debate that he would partner with the Business Improvement District on the project, so tax support for it was trimmed during the council's budget deliberations.
Earlier this year, Scrima and his charitable fund advisory committee provided $15,160 from the New Day in Waukesha Fund for the purchase of seven 10-foot-tall guitar sculptures that - along with three others and 20 regulation Gibson Les Paul guitars - are being transformed into art objects, part of a Waukesha GuitarTown public art project. The guitars will be staged in locations mostly along Main St. Scrima has also announced intentions to fund a gateway sign between North St. and St. Paul Ave. near Moreland Blvd. In an email Monday he said the fund balance, which he so far has not provided, will be sufficient to pay for that "and possibly other projects."(1)

Muskego recall drive could result in another election
Muskego - The group leading a recall drive says the campaign has a lot to do with the role of three elected officials who support a lake park proposal, but there are other issues, including the Muskego Common Council's resistance to a call for a binding referendum.
Muskego Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti said this week that she and aldermen Keith Werner and Neome Schaumberg have done nothing wrong to merit a recall.
Lorie Oliver, who is spearheading the recall drive for the group Muskego for Ethical Government, agrees that the recall does owe much to efforts to establish a park on Little Muskego Lake along Janesville Road near Pioneer Drive. »Read Full Article(3)

CWD found in deer near Shell Lake
Madison - Chronic wasting disease, long contained to the southern half of the state, has leapt into northwestern Wisconsin, state wildlife officials announced Monday.
Department of Natural Resources Lands Division Administrator Kurt Thiede said test results the agency received from the National Veterinary Services lab in Ames, Iowa, on Friday evening confirmed a three-and-a-half-year-old doe found just outside Shell Lake was infected.

DNR field staff submitted samples from the deer to agency officials in Madison in late February. Tests performed at the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Lab in early March came back positive for the disease, but the agency wanted confirmation from Ames. »Read Full Article(1)

American Family ranks above average in customer satisfaction survey
American Family Insurance was among insurers that posted higher-than-average customer satisfaction scores on claims filed in 2011, a year when tornadoes and major storms led to record payouts for the Madison-based company and other property insurance firms, a study released Monday shows.
The J.D. Power and Associates study, now in its fifth year, measures satisfaction with the property claims experience among insurance customers who filed a claim for damages covered under their homeowner's policy. The survey examines five factors: claim settlement, first notice of loss, estimation process, service interaction and repair process.
The California-based research firm said Monday that, after four years of relatively stable customer satisfaction with the insurance claims experience, overall satisfaction rose in the 2012 study to 833 on a 1,000-point scale - an increase of 10 points from the previous study. That's noteworthy because the claims experiences measured in 2012 are based on claims filed in 2011, when there were 99 weather-related disasters in the country, 14 of which totaled more than $1 billion in damage each, J.D. Power and Associates said. »Read Full Article(4)
4 arrested in human trafficking operation
Four people have been charged with 28 felonies after a car salesman's explanation of a suspicious shooting unraveled to reveal what police say was a prostitution operation that exploited two young Sheboygan women who relied on their pimp to feed their heroin addictions.
According to a criminal complaint, London Triplett, 38, tried to kill one of the women Jan. 30 after she threatened to report him to his probation agent for punching her in the face. As she struggled to escape, Triplett fired, grazing the woman in the buttocks before the bullet ricocheted and hit Triplett in the hand. He drove himself to a hospital, but his story quickly broke down and ultimately led to charges ranging from attempted homicide and sexual assault to human trafficking and domestic violence against Triplett.

Career progression prospects within publicly funded research are similar to those for other disciplines: NERC, universities and other research councils all have defined career structures and routes to career progression. Rapid career advancement is most likely for those who can provide innovative, practical solutions to applied problems, who have the ability to engage in and contribute to multidisciplinary projects and who have the ability to secure new sources of funding.
Career progression within the private and charitable sectors are very variable and depend upon the nature of the organisation and role.

Director Jon Else explores this hectic, noisy, seemingly chaotic workplace with his signature style -- eschewing narration in favor of long, real-time shots that bring the viewer right into the heart-stopping action of the trading floor. He reveals the traders' sudden wealth, sudden disaster, and grace under pressure as they exchange billions of dollars in futures and options contracts - for cattle, pork bellies, Eurodollars and the Nasdaq-100 futures. Also revealed is the endangerment of the open outcry trading system as the digital revolution replaces it at many of the world's financial exchanges.
The film exposes nervous young clerks as they learn the open outcry system, its seemingly senseless language and hand signals. In the live cattle-trading pit, a seasoned broker explains how futures trading works: "If you go to McDonald's, your cheeseburger, I probably traded it, maybe 20 times. McDonald's starts hedging their cattle prices six months or more before they actually are going to use it ? if we weren't around, your Big Mac would cost a dollar today, three dollars tomorrow, 50 cents next week and I don't think that's in the best interest of most of the people."
Traders ruminate on social values, market volatility and greed. One trader reminds us that commodities trading is not a pursuit for cold-hearted capitalists but, as we see in the film, for people with a gambler's heart and a gambler's nerves of steel: "Remember, when people hear about all the money commodity traders make, for every one guy that's made a fortune, I guarantee you that there are five guys that are driving cabs."
Else's film captures the exhilarating, heart-stopping volatility that makes the Merc one of the most fascinating spots on the global financial map.

A local man is asking the county to compensate him for an injury he allegedly sustained at one of the area convenience centers.
In a suit filed last Tuesday in circuit court Carlos Gross, through his attorney David Dunaway, alleges that while he was visiting the convenience center building located near Vasper he "suddenly and unexpectedly encountered a hidden and defective condition" that caused a fall that left him with "serious and disabling injuries" to his left foot.

Quote: No difficulty is allowed to exceed a score of 18 million points (check this by pressing F5 in the editor to test play the map). If you want your map in the "ranked" category, then you can shorten the map (or replace a portion with a break), lower the difficulty settings (within reason), or remap part of the difficulty. Do not resort to dropping the slider tick rate to reduce score. Otherwise, the map can be "approved". The only difference is that an approved map does not count towards a player's ranked score, but there will still be an online scoreboard. following my previously post http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1074116#p1074116 Why not 20 milions or 22 milions ?, increasing the score limit you can also increase the time limit of a map (rule), 2-4 milions does really influence the ranking score? a lot of times mappers should "destroy" their beatmaps due to total score fault, adding sliders instead of beat or stuff like this |

18 millions is the recommended limit.
20 million is the very maximum. |

Alright, bumping this as there's something new to add. I'm suggesting a max score limit of somewhere around 25,000,000 points. Recently I've been seeing several maps that are being forced to use Tick Rate 1 (when Tick Rate 2 arguably plays more nicely) and longer breaks (when more notes would be more fun) to reduce the score of the map lower than 18,000,000.
Basically, maps have been getting tougher and the score limit is forcing them to be modified in ways that detriment the map, so I'd like to continue discussion on possibly raising the score cap.

What are the cultural similarities within a country that sets it apart from others? A team of anthropologists and social scientists have taken a close look at more than 200 countries to document the myriad ways in which culture -- every bit as much as geographic borders -- defines and separates the nations of the world. Using a standard entry format for easy comparison, each country's shared values, behaviors and cultural variations are surveyed -- from foods and rituals to pastimes and arts. This 4-vol. set is lavishly illustrated with more than 1,000 photographs and more than 200 maps.

"The similar sounding (and looking) Worldmark Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily Life (Gale, 1998) covers some of the same ground, but its arrangement like that of Encyclopedia of World Cultures [which is mentioned earlier], is based on cultural group rather than national boundary. Countries and Their Cultures complements both titles by offering a different perspective and is recommended for high-school, public, and academic libraries."

Online M.A. (Biblical and Theological Studies) Debuts!
Western Seminary is pleased to announce that the 64-hour Online Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies) is now open for enrollment. For the first time students - regardless of location - will be able to pursue an online degree program that reflects the unique ethos and values of Western Seminary. Distance learning is not new to Western Seminary. We were pioneers in the development of quality distributed learning opportunities beginning in the early 1980's and have since developed some of the most advanced delivery and student support systems available among ATS accredited seminaries. Similarly, Western has offered the MABTS degree program at its Portland, San Jose and Sacramento campuses for many years. The program builds a strong understanding of theology rooted in a thorough investigation of the scriptures, with an eye toward gospel-centered transformation. When paired with a powerful online delivery option, we believe the MABTS will help to meet the ministry training needs of a new, global, community of Western Seminary students. The Center for Lifelong Learning Becomes the "Online Campus"
Course Mentors Are Now Course Instructors!
In the 1980s and 90s, when our distance education program was still in its infancy, we referred to those supporting our courses as "graders." In that era, that really was all they could do; the technology had not yet developed to provide the interaction and support that is now both possible and expected. With the advent of the Internet, learning management systems and broadband connectivity, we gradually introduced the concept of the course "mentor," not because this was the only aspect of the role we valued, but because we sought to address one of the dominant critiques of distance education, that it is non-relational and impersonal.
Moodle Classroom Training Opportunities
As you have almost-certainly noticed, Western Seminary is increasingly requiring that students engage our Online Distance Education Learning Centers or Campus Online Classrooms. We recognize that for some of our students – including some of our very best students – these new tools create stress as they are challenged to learn new technology systems and approaches to learning.
We want to help you become comfortable with, though perhaps not enamored of, these new learning resources. We know that the sooner you are able to focus fully on your course rather than on support or delivery systems, the more comfortable you will be with the more extended use of the new toolset. That is why, in the early weeks of the summer 2013 semester, the Online Campus will host campus and online training opportunities to "show you the ropes" and to answer your questions about the effective use of our Moodle Learning Centers and online classrooms.
Marketplace Opens!
Many generations of students have trained here at Western Seminary with great pride. After all, God has done great things through their time with us. In that school pride, we often have folks ask if there is any way to purchase Western Seminary apparel or gear that highlights the place they've trained. Now, we can answer that question with a resounding "yes"!
Western Seminary is pleased to announce the launch of the Western Seminary Marketplace!
From backpacks, beanies, polo shirts, to iPad cases, shoppers can select a product and then choose from images that specify their campus location, or announce that they are an alumnus, or sport a collegiate block letter version of our logo for a more vintage feel. The shopper gets to customize their product to their satisfaction, and a portion of each purchase will be benefit the seminary and our students. We hope that you will let other Western Seminary alumni and all of our friends know of this exciting new opportunity.

AJ BOOTS Jimmy LaRiche spent a lot of time this off-season thinking about how to create the perfect boot for his style. Designing something that was supportive with great flexion was his main goal. Introducing a whole new look to wake footwear was an added bonus. The AJ boot takes everything Jimmy was looking for from a performance standpoint and packages it in a progressive, street inspired boot. The lower cut of the cuff allows a rider the mobility they need for poked out tricks while the integrated Heel Hold Down System provides added support. The new AJ also utilizes a traditional lacing system for a hassle free session and the added benefit of customizing your lace color. The new AJ boot is the perfect combination of style and function.
*Remember the AJ boot is designed to work exclusively with our System Binding. Both components are needed for use. SYSTEM BINDING The System Binding has revolutionized water sports footwear. This external binding was designed specifically for use with our new System Boots. Our new design philosophy allows us to build unmatched strength, support, and response into the binding itself without sacrificing comfort. Together this System transfers a rider's energy directly to the board creating the most responsive ride in wakeboarding. The new System Binding features full GX3 construction making it lightweight and extremely strong. The articulating highback allows for greater support and moves with a rider's leg to ensure a full range of rear motion. The adjustable ankle and toe straps are built with maximum retention in mind without creating unwanted pressure points. The System Binding also features an underfoot bridge that connects the side walls of the chassis, creating a torsionally strong construction that won't twist or lift. This feature also allows a rider to stand directly on the deck of the board creating an unmatched rider to board connection. Together this System transfers a rider's energy directly to the board creating the most responsive ride in wakeboarding.

OW: My first picture would never have been made if the producer had lived in Hollywood, or had any knowledge of Hollywood. It was a total accident; a total piece of luck, like winning a jackpot from a quarter. It couldn't go on, and I knew that.
ET: You've been quoted as saying "We live here in Hollywood, in a snakepit."
OW: Oh yes, well I've always hated Hollywood, but then I hate almost everything in the modern world. Hollywood is simply the most pleasant place to live in left.
ET: You've been quoted as saying "I really shouldn't have stayed in this business because it's too ridiculous. What should you have done?
OW: I had a lot of options open. Everybody does. Anybody who has enough sense to make a movie can make a lot of other things, and I should have left right away because I saw right at the beginning that, like Vegas, the odds are against the player, and are by the nature of moviemaking. What's wrong with Hollywood is that it's just another marketplace, and the marketplace is always the enemy of the artist.
ET: As an artist, do you feel you have no place in Hollywood?
OW: Not no place, but if they don't like what you do...I was going to show them that they were wrong, and I've spent the rest of my life showing people, trying to prove that what is said is wrong, and that's been an enormous waste of spirit and of energy.

Birth Name: Paul Edward Valentine Giamatti
Date of Birth: June 6, 1967
American-born Giamatti is the youngest of three children born to Bartlett Giamatti, a former president of Yale University and major league baseball commissioner. His mother, Toni Smith, was an actress before she married his father. Paul majored in English at Yale University before obtaining his Master's Degree in Fine Arts from the Yale University School of Drama.
Continuing his work in theater from his college days, Giamatti ventured out to work on regional productions in Seattle, San Diego, and Massachusetts. He eventually landed gigs on Broadway such as The Three Sisters, Arcadia and playing Jimmy Tomorrow in The Iceman Cometh for which he received a Drama Desk nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
He began his screen career in 1990 with roles on television, such as the telefilms She'll Take Romance and Past Midnight, and guest appearances on NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life on the Street. His roles in feature films remained largely unnoticed by the majority of filmgoers until 1997 when he captured the eyes of America in the hit comedy Private Parts as the young eager NBC executive derisively nicknamed "Pig Vomit" by Howard Stern. The exposure led him to larger roles in big budget films such as My Best Friend's Wedding, Deconstructing Harry, The Truman Show, Saving Private Ryan, The Negotiator, Cradle Will Rock, and Man on the Moon.
The new millennium provided him with even more starring roles such as John in Big Momma's House (2000), Limbo in Planet of the Apes (2001), and Gordo in Confidence (2003) with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia.
In 2005, his career reached new heights when he received his first Golden Globe nomination for his lead role in Sideways (2004). The following year, he received not only a second Golden Globe nomination, but his first Academy Award nod for his supporting role in Cinderella Man (2005). In 2008, he added an Emmy to the acting trophies he's collected, as well as a Golden Globe award the following year, both for his work in HBO's John Adams. He won a second Golden Globe in 2011 for Barney's Version (2010) and was nominated again in 2012 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his work on Too Big to Fail. On top of that, Giamatti starred in George Clooney's film The Ides of March (2011), David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis (2012) and the highly-anticipated film adaptation of Rock of Ages (2012).
Giamatti has been married to screenwriter Elizabeth Cohen since 1997. They live in Venice, California with their son, Samuel.

Brand Name(s):
People who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (other than aspirin) such as celecoxib may have a higher risk of having a heart attack or a stroke than people who do not take these medications. These events may happen without warning and may cause death. This risk may be higher for people who take NSAIDs for a long time. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had heart disease, a heart attack, or a stroke, if you smoke, and if you have or have ever had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Get emergency medical help right away if you experience any of the following symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness in one part or side of the body, or slurred speech.
If you will be undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG; a type of heart surgery), you should not take celecoxib right before or right after the surgery.
NSAIDs such as celecoxib may cause ulcers, bleeding, or holes in the stomach or intestine. These problems may develop at any time during treatment, may happen without warning symptoms, and may cause death. The risk may be higher for people who take NSAIDs for a long time, are older in age, have poor health, or drink large amounts of alcohol while taking celecoxib. Tell your doctor if you drink large amounts of alcohol or if you take any of the following medications: anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin); aspirin; other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn); or oral steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexone), methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Deltasone). Also tell your doctor if you have or have ever had ulcers or bleeding in your stomach or intestines or other bleeding disorders. If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop taking celecoxib and call your doctor: stomach pain, heartburn, vomiting a substance that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, blood in the stool, or black and tarry stools.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will monitor your symptoms carefully and will probably order certain tests to check your body's response to celecoxib. Be sure to tell your doctor how you are feeling so that your doctor can prescribe the right amount of medication to treat your condition with the lowest risk of serious side effects.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with celecoxib and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (
Web Site
) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Celecoxib is used to relieve pain, tenderness, swelling and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis (arthritis caused by a breakdown of the lining of the joints), rheumatoid arthritis (arthritis caused by swelling of the lining of the joints), and ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis that mainly affects the spine). It is also used to treat juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (a type of arthritis that affects children) in children 2 years of age and older. Celecoxib is also used to treat painful menstrual periods and to relieve other types of short term pain including pain caused by injuries, surgery and other medical or dental procedures, or medical conditions that last for a limited time. Celecoxib is in a class of NSAIDs called COX-2 inhibitors. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain and inflammation.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Celecoxib comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day. If you are taking up to 200 mg of celecoxib at a time, you may take the medication with or without food. If you are taking more than 200 mg of celecoxib at a time, you should take the medication with food. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if you need to take your medication with food. To help you remember to take celecoxib, take it around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take celecoxib exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
If you cannot swallow the capsules or if you are giving this medication to a child, you may open the capsules and sprinkle the contents over a teaspoon of cold or room temperature applesauce. You may prepare the mixture in advance and store it for up to 6 hours in a refrigerator. When you are ready to take your medication, swallow all of the mixture. Then drink water to wash down the mixture and be sure that you have swallowed all of it.
Are there OTHER USES for this medicine?
Celecoxib is also sometimes used with surgery and other treatments to reduce the number of polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon (large intestine) and rectum in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (a condition in which hundreds or thousands of polyps form in the colon and cancer may develop). Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS should I follow?
Before taking celecoxib,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to celecoxib, aspirin or other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), sulfa medications, any other medications, or any of the inactive ingredients in celecoxib capsules. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the inactive ingredients.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention the medications listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING section and any of the following: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik); angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as candesartan (Atacand), eprosartan (Teveten), irbesartan (Avapro), losartan (Cozaar), olmesartan (Benicar), telmisartan (Micardis), and valsartan (Diovan); anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin);diuretics ('water pills'); fluconazole (Diflucan); and lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had any of the conditions mentioned in the IMPORTANT WARNING section or asthma, especially if you also have frequent stuffed or runny nose or nasal polyps (swelling of the lining of the nose); swelling of the hands, arms, feet, ankles, or lower legs; or liver or kidney disease.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, especially if you are in the last few months of your pregnancy, you plan to become pregnant, or you are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking celecoxib, call your doctor.
if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking celecoxib.
What SPECIAL DIETARY instructions should I follow?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
What should I do IF I FORGET to take a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause?
Celecoxib may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
gas or bloating
sore throat
cold symptoms
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms or those mentioned in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, call your doctor immediately. Do not take any more celecoxib until you speak to your doctor.
unexplained weight gain
excessive tiredness
unusual bleeding or bruising
lack of energy
loss of appetite
pain in the upper right part of the stomach
yellowing of the skin or eyes

Product Brief
Hirose board-to-wire connector handles up to 40 amps
Tell us What You Think
We want to know what you thought about this Product. Let us know by adding a comment.
Hirose Electric has developed the DF60 series, a board-to-wire connector with the capacity to handle up to 40 amps.
The rugged DF60 series connector features a five-point contact design with independent contact springs; a center lock with a clear tactile 'click' to ensure secure mating and prevent against half-locking and uneven side-locking; and guards designed into the connector body to prevent cable snaring. The center lock helps to save PCB space and allows the connector to aid in high density mating.
The DF60 series is available in three different connection styles: straight, right angle, and in-line. It uses three lower contact points that are separated and individually deflect while being mated. Each of these contact points follows the flat surface of the male contact compared with a conventional connector with contacts points that reside on the same plane.
The DF60 also features quick and easy assembly operations. The crimp contacts do not have an exposed retention lance on the terminal, but are retained by a lance that is molded inside the plug housing itself. The external center lock on the plug housing features guards on each side of the lock. These features prevent terminated wires from becoming tangled together due to an exposed lance on the contacts. The guards on the housing also help to prevent tangles on the plug assemblies. The DF60 Series has a lance strength of 49 N and an inertial lock force of 98 N.
The RoHS-compliant DF60 Series has a rated voltage of 1000 V AC/DC and can withstand 3000 V AC for 1 minute. Wire conductor sizes range from AWG #8 to #12 and can handle up to 30 insertion/withdrawal cycles.
The DF60 series is designed for robotics, automotive, power conditioning, medical, and data center server applications.

text: Antonio M. Flores Dad was called to be with our Lord the evening of September 10, 2012. He had been a Douglas resident since 1927 when he came with his parents Jesus and Aurora Flores from Cumpas, Sonora, Mexico where he was born. While attending school, his father, a miner, passed away and at the age of 17, Dad left school to work at the Phelps Dodge Smelter to support his mother and siblings. He retired from the mine over 40 years later. He and his wife, Dolores (Varela) raised their children Antonio Jr., Rachel Bonner (Jack) and Christine Montez (Abundio). His grandchildren are Jack C. Bonner (Tracey); Adrian Montez (Annia) and Paul Anthony Montez (Leslie). Great-grandchildren: Nicole, Mailayla, Kristen, Paul Anthony and Sophia. Dad was preceded in death by his wife, Dolores (Varela), his sister Aurora Trujillo, and his nieces Cecilia Rodriguez, Sylvia Gonzalez and Selma Flores. Surviving siblings are Petra Rodriguez of Phoenix, Arizona, Robert Flores of Colton, California, and numerous nieces and nephews. I need to mention that as his oldest daughter, before my siblings were born around 1949, I observed my father mixing cement in the back yard then pouring the mixture into wooden molds he had constructed to make bricks for the home he was planning to build on 5th Street. Then, with a pick and shovel he started digging out a basement with the help of his younger brother Robert, the size of the entire home he was to build. Dad would accomplish this feat daily after putting in a whole day's work at the smelter. Eventually he dug out the entire basement and poured the walls with concrete and stone. He then went on to hand build the home with the bricks he had constructed himself. Dad moved us into our new home in 1951. We, his children, will forever be grateful for the "fortress" he put together for us and also for providing us so much comfort and contentment without ever thinking of the sacrifice and effort you both put forth. We only hope you knew how much we loved you and appreciated you. May you rest in peace dear Father. A Rosary was recited for Dad on September 14, 2012 at Brown-Page Mortuary with a funeral Mass of the Resurrection being celebrated on Saturday, September 15, 2012 Immaculate Conception Church with Father Richard Tule officiating. Interment at a later date. Arrangements by Brown-Page Mortuary, 364-3434. |
