Schneider Rainer - - 2003
When electrodermal activity (EDA) recordings are controlled for artifacts, i.e., electrodermal reactions [EDRs] elicited by breathing irregularities, several problems arise. For example, respiration is difficult to evaluate because there are no clear-cut criteria for its values, e.g., wave form, depth. Furthermore, respiration and EDA are rather complexly intertwined, and there ...
Pilmanis Andrew A - - 2003
INTRODUCTION: The current extravehicular activity (EVA) space suit at 4.3 psia causes hand and arm fatigue and is too heavy for Martian EVA. A 3.5 psia EVA pressure suit requires increased preoxygenation time but would reduce structural complexity, leak rate, and weight while increasing mobility, comfort, and maintainability. On Mars, ...
Nicol Stewart - - 2003
Resting non-hibernating echidnas are characterised by low metabolic rates, but also have a very low respiratory frequency and a variable respiratory minute volume, often resulting in low levels of arterial O(2) and high CO(2). As the echidna lies at one physiological extreme among the hibernators, in terms of its large ...
Eves Neil D - - 2003
Maximal exercise performance is decreased when breathing from a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), owing to a ventilatory limitation imposed by the increased expiratory resistance. To test the hypothesis that decreasing the density of the breathing gas would improve maximal exercise performance, we studied 15 men during four graded exercise tests ...
Houtveen Jan H - - 2003
OBJECTIVE: This study tested whether functional somatic symptoms are associated with exaggerated increases in self-reported anxiety and somatic complaints in response to stress and CO(2)-enriched air breathing, and whether this association exists in parallel to or in the absence of exaggerated physiological responses.

Ritz Thomas - - 2003
Breathing exercises are frequently recommended as an adjunctive treatment for asthma. A review of the current literature found little that is systematic documenting the benefits of these techniques in asthma patients. The physiological rationale of abdominal breathing in asthma is not clear, and adverse effects have been reported in chronic ...
Landberg Tobias - - 2003
The limb girdles and lungs of turtles are both located within the bony shell, and therefore limb movements during locomotion could affect breathing performance. A mechanical conflict between locomotion and lung ventilation has been reported in adult green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, in which breathing stops during terrestrial locomotion and ...
Van Houtte Siska - - 2003
Isocapnic hyperpnoea has been shown to reliably produce fatigue of the diaphragm. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether incremental isocapnic hyperpnoea (IH(incr)) impairs the arm exercise performance and alters the breathing pattern during subsequent maximal incremental arm cranking. Nine healthy volunteers performed an arm cranking test ...
Joulia Fabrice - - 2003

Caradon looks to Germany
Mr Hichens sounded some notes of caution, however. He said the recovery in the UK trade cycle had been weaker than expected, and that last year's growth in North America had not continued across the board in the first quarter.
Caradon's doors and windows operations in the UK and North America were proving difficult, although the rest of the group was on track, Mr Hichens added.
Progress this year in Germany, the company's main market on the Continent, had been slow, but other European markets were more buoyant. A month ago, Caradon bolstered its position in Germany by investing £109m in a 21.3 per cent stake in Weru, a maker of doors and windows.
Weru, in which Caradon will eventually take a 50 per cent stake, will dovetail with the UK company's Alpine and Everest window businesses. Caradon's other branded products include MK plugs, Mira showers, Catnic building materials, and Twyfords plumbing.
Mr Hichens told shareholders that the group expected to exchange products and expertise with Weru. Germany is the largest market in Europe for windows and doors, with the extensive rebuilding taking place in the former east Germany.

CalSTRS to vote its 5.3 million shares against Wal-Mart's whole board
- Steven E.F. Brown
- Web Editor- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter
Seeking to sweep aside Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s entire board and bring in fresh faces, the California State Teachers' Retirement System will vote against them with every one of its 5.3 million shares.
West Sacramento-based CalSTRS, which owns $313.5 million worth of Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) shares, says the retailer's top executives and directors ignored reports of unethical conduct in Wal-Mart's foreign operations.
"CalSTRS believes that in some cases, Wal-Mart leadership actively suppressed an internal investigation which would have brought these improper actions to light," the giant pension said Tuesday.
The nation's second largest public pension fund, which has a portfolio worth $153.7 billion, encouraged "fellow shareholders to do the same."
Last month, the New York Times reported that Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., did not thoroughly investigate reports its employees had paid bribes in Mexico.
Wal-Mart, led by CEO Michael Duke, has its annual meeting June 1.
Directors up for election, besides CEO Duke, include:

The #3 Arkansas Razorbacks will travel to Baton Rouge, LA to face off against the #1 LSU Tigers. The entire season is on the line in this game with this being the last weekend before conference championships. A win by LSU, and the Tigers clinch the SEC West.
If the Hawgs win, then we have to wait for the final BCS rankings to decide who goes to the SEC Championship Game. Because there will be three one loss SEC West teams if Arkansas loses, the team that goes to the championship is the team that won the heads up battle between the two rated the highest in the BCS rankings.

When battling Amalek, G-d hides His face and expects man to wage war for his own relevance.
What is the relationship between Purim and Pisces? In what way is Purim related to fish?
The battle on Purim was our war with Amalek; we know that Haman was a descendent of Amalek and we are commanded to annihilate that entire nation.
When Mr. Fine received the translation he was disappointed. The translation was passing, but lacked the power and command of language in other translations he'd seen.
Question: When performing a mitzvah, what is more important: doing it right away – "zerizim" – or doing it with a large crowd – "berov am"?
Lulav, Sukkah, Shofar
'Beautification is Not an Obstruction'
(Sukkah 37a)
Tosafot (Sanhedrin 12a) offers a scriptural reason: to ensure that Adar will remain the twelfth month, as it is referred to in Megillat Esther (3:7).
The lulav symbolizes the backbone, the etrog, the heart, the hadas the eyes, and the arava the lips moving in the service of God.
The presence of a sacrifice in these covenantal experiences can be looked upon as a celebration of this glorious moment of meeting between God and his people.
Chazal tell us that Moshe functioned in many different capacities. For example, at various times he was considered a king and the equivalent of the Sanhedrin. He was also a kohen gadol, as evidenced by his role during this seven day period.
Born in 1933, Sheldon Adelson was the son of Ukrainian immigrants. His father drove a taxi and his mother ran a knitting shop. He grew up in one of the poorest sections of Boston. But even as a young boy he showed great ambition, first selling newspapers on the street corner, and then running his first business at the age of twelve. He went on to build over fifty businesses, eventually owning the Venetian Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He became a very wealthy man.
So this is what she got herself into: serving chicken soup and getting bits of rent on random days. She couldn't say it wasn't worth it, as she was earning both a chesed and a little bit of cash.
If a korban chatas cannot be brought as a nedavah, how can one read the parshah of the korban chatas if he is not certain that he is obligated to bring one?
Rabbi Almosnino's reading of the Biblical text might be compared with the way a prominent lawyer would read the most important contract of his career.
If a korban chatas cannot be brought as a nedavah, how can one read the parshah of the korban chatas if he is not certain that he is obligated to bring one?
Following the Minchah (afternoon) service, led by the Vyelipoler Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Frankel, rally participants recited several passages of Tehillim.
Rav Akiva Eiger questions why semicha is considered a mitzvas assei she'hazman gramma. While it is true that it must be performed during the daytime, this is not because the semicha per se cannot be performed by night.
An anti-draft rally in Jerusalem this past Sunday, called for by the country's leading haredi rabbis and billed a Million Man Atzeres (assembly), drew hundreds of thousands of demonstrators.
The Panim Yafos asks: since invariably one of the seven days of miluim must have been Shabbos, how was Moshe able to erect the Mishkan on Shabbos?
Rabbeinu Bachya points out that of all the materials that were donated to the building of the Mishkan, we do not find the inclusion of meshi (silk).

First-Class Postage Rate Will Rise To 49 Cents Next Month
By Scott Neuman
Originally published on Tue December 24, 2013 7:56 pm
You'll soon need some 3-cent stamps to go with those 46-cent ones.
Regulators on Tuesday authorized the increase, and beginning Jan. 26, it'll cost 49 cents to send a first-class letter. Bulk rate mail, periodicals and package service rates will go up 6 percent, The Associated Press says.
Regulators rejected a request to make the price hike permanent and say instead that it will last no longer than two years, by which time the U.S. Postal Service should have recouped $2.8 billion in losses.
The AP says:
"The independent Postal Regulatory Commission said the change was justified by severe mail volume decreases since 2008."

I returned to the IHG at Aphrodite Hills in the October half term with my five young children and wife. We visited in August for 12 wonderful nights - so it was an easy decision to come back.
the hotel is well managed and organised. The food and service is exceptional - all staff deserve a special mention.
We will return in 2014 as my children simply adore the hotel and the area - there is so much to do.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Judrow Short but sweet
Our visit to Cyprus was short, but the hotel , particularly its location and facilities, was one of the factors that made it memorable. The room was comfortable and the balcony was a plus. The pools were wonderful and the choice of restaurants around the pools was excellent. For lunch, however, the golf club is the winner. Added to this we enjoyed our evening meals in the Leander where the staff were welcoming and efficient. We also appreciated the bar area and were impressed with the entertainment which can so often be 'hit or miss'. Both reception desk and concierge were friendly and their advice and pleasant service were appreciated.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by PSD1 Our second very enjoyable experience at Aphrodite Hills hotel
This was our family's second visit to the resort in 2013 and we had another very enjoyable week. The hotel's facilities and catering are generally excellent and the staff are all extremely helpful and friendly. We will almost certainly return next year.
One improvement that I think most guests would welcome would be for the outdoor pool to be heated. It is far too cold and difficult to take the plunge, at least for us older adults!
A big draw of the resort for our family is the fact that there are sports facilities so close at hand, tennis, golf and horse riding in particular. So another improvement would be to fix the hotel tennis court floodlights. It is not really worth trying to play after dark at present as each court has only 50% of the lights working. That was also the case when we visited at Easter and so it was disappointing that the issue had not been remedied.
That said, we used the Annabel Croft tennis centre this time and although the court fees are more expensive, we found the clay courts to be really excellent and would ceratinly use them again.
We also made a lot of use of the spa and found it to be excellent.
The golf course itself is great but needs a more efficient starter system. Sad to say it but kids should not be allowed to play on the course without a handicap. Despite what the pro shop says about the rules in this respect, they clearly do allow kids with no golfing abilities/experience to go out with parents who are also golf novices and it stretches the holiday spirit to have to tolerate such slow play. (My son and I waited 15 minutes to tee off whilst another golfer and his son, who had taken our tee time and wrongly started ahead of us, tried to get down the first fairway. Both took at least 10 shots each. They subsequently let us through but it was not a great start to our round). In fact I played 9 holes 4 times during the week and on 3 of these occasions it took over 2 hours to get round because of the hackers in front. Given that the green fees are not cheap, this was a disappoininting experience.
In general, staff in the resort are delightful. The only unhelpful and unfriendly personalities are to be found behind the til in the golf pro shop! I appreciate that this is beyond the hotel's direct responsibilities but, since the outside sports facilities are an important part of the attraction to the hotel, perhaps you can apply some pressure on the gof club to ensure that there is more of a friendly welcome at the pro shop? The caddy masters were really helpful and friendly in contrast.
Hope this helps!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Peter1000 General comments
Wonderful location, superb weather, good staff and excellent food.
Slightly disappointed with the location of the two villas the rest of the family had. They were at least two miles from the hotel. Villa guests were not allowed breakfast with in the hotel although we were all half board. Also silly petty rules about Villa guests not being able to use the main swimming pool and nO towels, loungers or umbrellas at the beach club even though we all had lunch there. We spent last October here in the hotel and felt the junior suites rather cramped for two parents and two children. This holiday we chose to stay at the hotel again but the other members of our family had two villas. I think it should be made quite clear that the villas have nothing to do with the hotel and are run as a separate company.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by workingmumof3 Get enough sun beds
Nice hotel/setting. Rooms okay. Beach club tatty (pebbly beach) but nice.
Actually very good food and the service is generally okay with a few waiters who are outstanding! Kids club good for children up to age 9 max.
Tennis academy good for small (one to two) lessons.
BUT... there is simply not enough room around the pool for all the guests to sit - and we went to the beach for 2 of our 7 days. It is just not what I expect from a 5* hotel and the behaviour it drives in guests is the whole "towels on beds at 7 am" routine even though the hotel has signs everywhere saying guests should not reserve sun beds. Seriously - if you don't have enough sun beds and space around the (unheated pool) SORT IT OUT!
PS one other gripe - there was a wedding one night we were there and as a consequence an event/show was cancelled and we could not get a seat in the hotel bar at all for a drink. Not great...

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Demetrios A great hotel
I stayed as part of a business trip and the hotel did not disappoint. It is easily my favorite hotel in Cyprus and is the perfect mix of quality, location and price. The only negative was that after I was asked what newspaper I wanted delivered to my room, I ended up receiving it at 14:00 in the afternoon (as opposed to the morning) and it was a different paper than the one I had requested.

Restaurants very good
First round of golf abandoned as 160 minutes to get to 8th tee - marshal did apologise and advised us to return to the first tee to play front half again - good advice
Is there any handicap limit on players to avoid such hold ups

Fantastic staff, fantastic food. Immaculate resort. Attention to detail and the personal touches were what made it so very special.
The only thing I can say that wasn't perfect was that all the bedding and pillows were feather and I am allergic so I didn't sleep to well. I am sure something would have been done if I had asked but I didn't so the fault was mine.
Definitely going back but not soon enough.

The room we were given was a Double Deluxe and it was lovely, the veranda opened up to view the golf course and sea. It was lovely and peacful, the views from around the whole complex were all spectacular. The buffet breakfas was vast and very nice. I will recommend it to my friends. I will definately come back and stay there again for a special occassion. Thank you,

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Skybon63 Beautiful location, accommodation and food.
Having just returned from a week at the Aphrodite Hills I can only say we came away with some lovely memories of a great holiday which we will treasure for years to come.
The Hotel and grounds were beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful. Reception staff and concierge service were impeccable.
We enjoyed many a cocktail in the Carob Lounge watching the sun set, our favorite the cocktail of the week LA Long Island Tea.
The food was well prepared and each restaurant had its own charm, we especially enjoyed the Asian Corner, although this was not included in the all inclusive package, but well worth the extra. The Anoi Pub also mixed some wonderful cocktails, you must try the Opal Martini.
Our only negative comment would be on our last day when we were advised our all inclusive package only included breakfast and to continue on all inclusive until we left at 9pm we would need to pay an additional £72 Euros, when you pay for all inclusive you expect to receive it until you leave, poor procedure.
Should also mention the pool staff who worked long hours but who were always on hand and happy to be of service.
We look forward to a return visit. Plymouth

Too many hotels in Cyprus and elsewhere in the Mediterranean claim five star status without coming even close. This one delivers !
Aphrodite Hills resort provides all the amenities and luxury you hope for. So many different atmospheres, so many restaurants make every repeat stay interesting.
The golf course is a true championship course but is within reach of average golfers in its usual setup. You should see the attention the staff is devoting to manicure its bunkers in the morning. I counted 9 people working in front of my suite on the ninth hole one early morning.!
Children are not forgotten either, and my little daughter is jumping up and down when we announce her a week end at AH. Several pools adapted to children of all ages, mini club, shows, proximity of the parents all ensure a great time.

American Scene: Police say search continues for missing girl, 10
WESTMINSTER — Colorado police looking for a 10-year-old girl who disappeared on her walk to school have found a body in a park, but are not saying whether it is linked to the case and noted Thursday that officers are still searching for her.
The discovery of the body is the latest turn in the disappearance of Jessica Ridgeway that has seen police look for clues in a reported sighting in a car with Colorado plates in Maine and a Wyoming abduction. The FBI said Thursday that abduction was unrelated.
Police spokesman Trevor Materasso said the body "is not intact," and that has slowed the work of identification. Mr. Materasso said no other information would be released until Friday. Police earlier declined to say whether the body was that of a child.
Border Patrol kills teen throwing rocks from Mexico
PHOENIX — A U.S. Border Patrol agent opened fire on a group of people throwing rocks from across the Mexican border, killing a teenage boy and eliciting outrage from the Mexican government over the use of lethal force, authorities said Thursday.
The agents in Nogales had responded to reports of two suspected drug smugglers near the border at about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. The agents watched the two abandon a load of narcotics, then run back to Mexico, according to the Border Patrol.
As the agents approached to investigate, people on the Mexican side of the border began throwing rocks at them and ignored orders to stop, the agency said.
One agent opened fire. A Mexican official with direct knowledge of the investigation said Thursday a 16-year-old boy was killed in the shooting. The Border Patrol declined to comment further, and would only say in a statement that one person "appeared to have been" shot by the agent.
The Mexican government issued a strongly worded statement, condemning the use of lethal force by U.S. agents in such situations along the border.
"Preliminary information at this time brings forth, once again, serious doubts about the use of lethal force by U.S. Border Patrol agents, something that both the Mexican government and Mexican society strongly deplore and condemn," Ricardo Alday, a spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, said in the statement.

Green Lentil Caviar
By Thursday or Friday everything that I have prepped for the weeks meals and snacks are pretty much gone. Turning little bits of this and that gives me the mid-week creative boost that I need. Without it, my kids would be eating quesadillas and cucumber slices for dinner. That would not go over well with the man of the house.
Last Sunday, after all the prep for the week was complete, we decided to head out to the beach. The kids grabbed their football, Frisbee, a big shovel, and a few other odds and ends. I needed little; the latest issue of Bon Appetit, a beach chair, and my sunglasses. While the kids released their boundless energy, I happily sat in my chair; magazine in one hand, pomegranate soda in the other. As I earmarked numerous pages, I made mental notes of meals to come.
With lentils already prepped, I knew what I was going to do when I got home. This lentil spread was one of the first recipes I came across. One can always find bowls of Israeli salad, hummus, white bean dip, onion marmalade, and salad dressings stored in my fridge. Without them, I would be noshing on potato chips, cheese, or worse throughout the day. Having "go to", healthy and nutritious options keeps me from snacking on the bad stuff.
Best part about this recipe; using household pantry stables! Cutting 1/2″ off the top of the bulb, omits the green stems. The neglected garlic bulbs (had about a day or two of life left in them), trimmed and roasted were the base of this spread.
Roasting garlic is easy. Wrapping the trimmed garlic bulbs in foil, sprinkled with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper creates a smell in your that stretched to street and beyond.
Although I had delegated these cooked lentils for other uses (lentil burgers and a lentil and farro pilaf), I made just enough to make what was previously planned as well as this impromptu dip. Seed crakers, matzoh sticks, jicama, and celery were great on the side as snack options. However, my favorite (I was never one for wraps, until now) was a bit of this smeared on a sprouted grain tortilla with turkey, arugula, yellow tomatoes, cucumber, and goat cheese. Eating at home is so much more enjoyable when stuff like this lines the refrigerator shelves.
Green Lentil Caviar
French, green lentils can be a bit pricey. Brown lentils will work just as well. A good, white wine and lots of fresh lemon juice is the key, in my opinion, to this recipe.
Original recipe here
Yield: 3 cups
1 head of garlic
1 tablespoon + 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup celery, chopped
2 tablespoons carrot, finely chopped
1 sprig fresh oregano
1 bay leaf
Celtic Sea Salt
fresh ground pepper
1 cup (8 ounces) french green lentils, rinsed
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
for the garlic:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut top 1/2″ off the head of the garlic. Place on a piece of heavy duty foil and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. sprinkle with a pinch of salt and 2 grindings of pepper. Wrap foil around garlic, like a little pouch, and place on a small baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 50 minutes. Let cool and then squeeze meat out of skins and place in a small bowl. Discard the skins.
for the lentils:
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a small dutch oven over medium heat. In the work bowl of a mini food processor, pulse the carrot until finely chopped. Place in a bowl.
Add the onion and the celery and pulse until rough chopped. Add vegetables and oregano to the hot oil. Cook until vegetables are soft, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add lentils and stir to moisten. Add wine and simmer until liquid is almost evaporated. Add bay leaf.
Pour in broth to cover the lentils by 1″. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and gently simmer. If needed, add more water until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove herbs and let mixture cool.
Using the same mini food processor, pulse the lentil mixture and the roasted garlic cloves. Stir in the additional olive oil (I added 2 tablespoons at a time to get the consistency I wanted) and the lemon juice. You may want to add more salt and pepper.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

US 4007993 A Abstract A pipe coupler has a pair of gripping members with corresponding angularly displaced channels and planar webs. The gripping members are adapted to clasp the pipes between corresponding channels with the gripping members in a spaced apart relationship. Means are also provided for cooperation with the webs to draw the gripping members into closer spaced apart relationship so as to rigidly secure the pipes in the channels.
Claims(1) 1. A pipe coupler comprising a pair of gripping members, each of said gripping members having a plurality of angularly displaced channels and a plurality of planar webs disposed between said channels, said channels of one of said gripping members having an arcuate cross-section and said channels of the other of said gripping members having a V-shaped cross-section, said gripping members being adapted to be mated together in spaced apart relationship to connect a plurality of pipes between corresponding ones of said channels, and means cooperable with corresponding ones of said webs for drawing said gripping members into closer spaced apart relationship, whereby the pipes are rigidly secured between said gripping members.
Description This invention relates generally to fittings for structural members and more particularly to couplings for tubular members, such as pipes and the like. Pipe couplers are commonly available in a range of sizes, each size of coupler being intended for use with a single size of pipe. Use of an inappropriate coupler size results in diminution or total loss of the gripping strength of the coupler. Many couplers are so designed as to make disassembly of an existing tubular structure necessary in order to add to the structure. Others require drilling, tapping, pinching or bending of the tubular members to provide a stable connection. Therefore, it is among the objects of this invention to provide a pipe coupler of one size suitable to couple pipes of a range of sizes. A further object of the invention is to provide a pipe coupler having high gripping strength. Another object of the invention is to provide a pipe coupler which rigidly secures pipes in an angular relationship. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a coupler usable to connect pipes to an existing framework without detachment of the existing framework. It is also an object of the invention to provide a coupler usable to connect pipes without any necessity of drilling, tapping, pinching or bending of the pipes. Accordingly, the invention contemplates a pair of gripping members, each of which has a plurality of angularly displaced channels with a plurality of planar webs disposed between them. A plurality of pipes disposed between the corresponding channels of the gripping members are connected with gripping members spaced apart. Means are also provided which cooperate with corresponding webs on each of the gripping members to draw the gripping members into closer spaced apart relationship. Thus the pipes are rigidly secured. Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the coupler; FIG. 2 is an end view of the coupler of FIG. 1 used with pipes of intermediate diameter; FIG. 3 is an end view of the coupler of FIG. 1 used with pipes of large diameter; FIG. 4 is an end view of the coupler of FIG. 1 used with pipes of small diameter; FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the coupler; FIG. 6 is an end view of the coupler of FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is an end view of a combination of the couplers of FIGS. 1 and 5. Turning first to FIGS. 1 and 2, one embodiment of a pipe coupler 10, preferably stamped from sheet metal, is illustrated. The coupler 10 consists of a pair of gripping members 11 which, when mated by use of a suitable securing means as screws 13, clasp the pipes 15 and 17 therebetween. Each gripping member 11 has a plurality of channels 19 and 21 angularly disposed in accordance with the desired angular disposition of the pipes 15 and 17. As shown, if a T arrangement of pipes 15 and 17 is desired, the channels 19 and 21 are at right angles to each other. In order to accomplish the object of having a single coupler which will be usable for coupling pipes having a range of sizes, the depth d of the channels 19 and 21 is less than one half of the diameter of the smallest pipe included in the range. For example, for pipes varying from 1/2 inch to 1 inch outer diameter, the depth d of the channel 21 would be less than 1/4 inch. The inner walls 23 and 25 of the channels 19 and 21 are, in cross-section, circular arcs, the radii of the arcs being approximately equal to the average outer radii of the pipes included in the range. Consequently, when the coupler 10 is used for coupling pipes having an outer radius equal to the coupler arc radius, the gripping force will be relatively evenly distributed along the inner walls 23 and 25 as shown in FIG. 2. For pipes having greater or lesser outer radii, the gripping force will be concentrated on portions of the inner walls, as is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 respectively. To facilitate mating of the gripping members 11 and to provide added rigidity and stability to the pipe connection, each gripping member 11 is provided with a plurality of planar webs 27 disposed between the channels 19 and 21. In the mated condition these webs 27 lie in face to face apart relationship. Means adapted to engage with the webs 27 and to draw them into closer face to face relationship secures the pipes between the gripping members 11. As shown, the preferred securing means consists of screws 13 extending through smooth apertures 29 in the webs 27 of one of the gripping members 11 and into threaded apertures 31 in the webs 27 of the other gripping member 11. Other means, as for example a nut and bolt arrangement, could also be used. In assembling a pipe structure, the pipes are placed in their desired angular disposition. The gripping members 11 are applied to opposite sides of the junction with the pipes resting in the appropriate channels. The screws are then tightened, drawing the gripping members together and rigidly securing the pipes in place. It should be noted that the above description would also apply to other angular configurations, as for example X or Y connections. Turning now to FIGS. 5 and 6, another embodiment of the pipe coupler 50 is illustrated. This embodiment is substantially similar to that already described, except that the channels 51 and 53 have two planar inner walls 55 and 57 rather than arced inner walls. As a result, the gripping force will be concentrated on portions of the inner walls 55 and 57 regardless of the radius of the pipe. As is shown in FIG. 7, it is also possible to combine an arcuate gripping member 71 and a planar gripping member 73 to achieve yet another concentration of gripping forces. Thus it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the invention, a pipe coupler that fully satisfies the objects, aims, and advantages set forth above. While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims. Patent Citations

Definition of 'Assign'
The act of clearing houses and brokerages selecting short option and future contract holders to deliver underlying securities or commodities of maturing or exercised/tendered contracts.
Investopedia explains 'Assign'
Not all contracts will typically be exercised or tendered; those that are need to be settled with delivery of the underlying security/commodity. Most often, clearing houses will randomly allocate assigned contracts to brokerages that, in turn, randomly select which of their clients will be assigned.

Simmons Field now sits empty on fall weekend nights.
The grandstand bleachers and goal posts are gone; the roar of the crowd and the beat of the marching band, long-faded memories.
However, no one in attendance on the night of Oct. 9, 1971, will ever forget what transpired in what has been labeled by some as the greatest football game ever played in Aberdeen.
It was Gypsy Day weekend, and the Northern State faithful were hoping to knock off undefeated Mankato State. Fans flocked to the tiny stadium in record numbers.
"There were people standing around in the end zone three deep," said Steve Graf, CEO of the Aberdeen Family Y who played in that contest. "It was quite an environment."
The matchup was an intriguing one, pitting a nationally ranked NCAA Division II Minnesota school against a stubborn NAIA South Dakota squad who always jacked it up a notch for its homecoming.
"We had a great tradition on Gypsy Day of usually playing pretty well," said former Northern coach Jim Kretchman. "Old Simmons Field was just as cozy as could be."
Kretchman, who said he can remember nearly every play in the contest, said the day started out on a somber note when linebacker Dan Ott's mother died.
"We just went ahead with plans without him," Kretchman said.
Ott showed up about 15 minutes before the Wolves left for the field and said he wanted to play.
"He said, 'My mother will see me play.' I can remember that so clearly," Kretchman said. "It was really a touching moment."
When the Wolves hit the field, they were all business. The battle that ensued became the stuff of legend.
Northern State won when Dave Pastian plowed into the end zone on the final play of the game behind offensive guard Bill Wilkinson to give the Wolves a dramatic 16-14 victory.

It was the greatest send-off party in Northern State football history.
Celebrating homecoming in front of 5,250 fans, the Wolves pounded Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference rival and the nation's 15th ranked Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs 46-7. The next year, Duluth left the NSIC for the North Central Conference — and returned to the NSIC in 2008.
"The kids played so hard," said NSU coach Ken Heupel said about the win. "The kids and my coaches were zeroed in all week, and I'm so proud of them."
"We came together as a team today, and we never stopped playing as a team," said Ronnie Cruz, the NSU senior star who punished the Bulldogs with three TDs and 135 yards rushing. "It feels good to do this to Duluth because I really don't like those guys."
The future looked bright for the Northern football program. Its junior varsity team beat the South Dakota State JVs twice, 12-6 in Aberdeen and 12-6 in Brookings.
Nov. 8, 1986
The Northern State football team smashed visiting Winona State 29-2 with 23-degree temperatures with a windchill of minus 12 thanks to a 38-mph northwesterly wind.
Plus, it was snowing.
Northern freshman quarterback Jason Landmark of Sisseton threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns. Teammate Kendall Hoellein set a Northern record with a wind-aided 82-yard punt.
Nov. 14, 1998
After demolishing Northern State 42-17 on Gypsy Day earlier in the season, the Wolves got revenge on Winona State by ending the Warriors' 17-game winning streak with a 40-35 win in the Metrodome.
Northern sophomore running back Tyrone Morgan wrapped up an incredible season with another four-touchdown day — his third of the season — and 240 rushing. Morgan's 51 carries broke the NSU record of 38 rushes in a game, set by Lee Wilson in 1968.
