Rat Bastard: On Bruce Conner
Hatch's book is not a biography, which is understandable given Conner's longing to be one of the invisible. Still, it could have offered a clearer chronology of the artist's life, perhaps in an appendix, and especially for the '50s and '60s, when Conner seems to have been almost constantly on the move and restlessly revising his working methods. No such chronology is to be found in the "2000 BC" catalog or, more understandably, two important earlier books that placed Conner in a broader movement among West Coast artists: Rebecca Solnit's Secret Exhibition: Six California Artists of the Cold War Era (1990) and Richard Cándida Smith's Utopia and Dissent: Art, Poetry, and Politics in California (1995).
In Looking for Bruce Conner, the outlines of a story emerge by and by. Conner was born in Depression-era Kansas in 1933, which his high school friend McClure would recall not as the black-and-white Kansas that Dorothy escaped in a storm of imagination but rather as something like the Emerald City, which he claims was based on the Sunflower State's Flint Hills—"but that was only for the few of us." The place where McClure and Conner came to consciousness was "a place of tent revivals…. And it's also the Kansas of bar fights…. It was a primitive place. Farmers with their red, sun-cracked necks were moving from being reapers to being people wearing sombreros and riding on power harvesters." Conner agreed, recalling Wichita's "fantasy and theater of miracles—I didn't need Surrealism or European religious arts—Blackstone the Magician and Thurston the Magician would appear and make horses disappear on the stage." Oz is the source of magic fake and true.
Conner repeatedly told his own story regarding the origins of his art, which took place in his Wichita bedroom when he was 11.
Sun was shining through the window. I was lying on the floor and I was looking out across the rug at the light on the floor. I went into a state of consciousness which I couldn't describe afterwards. I changed. I changed physically, I changed conceptually, and it took hundreds of years. I changed and grew old, through all kinds of experiences, in worlds of totally different dimensions. And then I became aware of myself being in the room. Here I am, in a room, and I'm enormously old. How can I ever get up? I'm practically disintegrated. I'm an ancient person. My bones are falling apart. I can't move. And then I slowly become aware of the rug. I look at my hands and they're not old. I knew I was an old, ancient person, but I didn't look that way. I didn't understand what had happened and I wanted to talk to someone about it. I couldn't. There weren't words to describe the experience. The only thing I could think of saying was that it was like a dream. It wasn't a dream, but very real. It wasn't science fiction. There were so many things that were unknown secrets, that adult society knew, that they didn't let children know about. I thought this was one of them.
Eventually he would realize that adult society didn't know much about unknown secrets either. But in the meantime his search for them led him to scour the public library and his grandfather's bookshelves, and to start experimenting with art. Later, in New York City, Conner would meet Lionel Ziprin, an adept in Jewish mysticism and interlocutor with the spirit world, who educated him in the Kabbalah and theosophy. According to his 2009 obituary in The New York Times, Ziprin "ran his apartment, on Seventh Street in the East Village, as a bohemian salon, attracting a loose collective that included the ethnomusicologist Harry Smith, the photographer Robert Frank and the jazz musician Thelonious Monk, who would drop by for meals between sets at the Five Spot." Ziprin described himself as "anonymous all the time by choice," an aspiration Conner shared.
Conner was a prize student at the University of Nebraska, from which he took a BFA in 1956; he then did postgraduate work at the art school of the Brooklyn Museum and the University of Colorado, where he met and married a fellow student, Jean Sandstedt. In 1957, the couple moved to San Francisco, where they quickly became part of the burgeoning art and literary scene, which Conner reimagined as a secret society called the Rat-Bastard Protective Association, formed of "people who were making things with the detritus of society, who were themselves ostracized or alienated."
Not surprisingly, given the time and place, Conner's search for hidden truths led him to experiment with hallucinogens. He took peyote for the first time in 1958, and it's no coincidence that his later description of the experience echoes the account of his first vision at the age of 11: "I experienced myself as this very tenuously held together construction—the tendons and muscles and organs loosely hanging around inside—and it seemed like at any moment disaster could strike and you could fall apart. I mean, you were just held together by this thin skin and strings of flesh." (This description could double as one of a Conner assemblage, debris held together by strands of torn nylon stockings.) In 1961 he relocated to Mexico, hoping to be able to live more cheaply and perhaps avoid the coming nuclear holocaust, but despite holding two exhibitions in Mexico City as well as one in Los Angeles, he left the country penniless. The next move was to Massachusetts, first to Timothy Leary's commune in the Boston suburb of Newton Center, then to Brookline, where he happened to be living when the town's favorite son, Jack Kennedy, was killed. But the East Coast didn't take, and by 1965 he was back in San Francisco, where he would remain until his death, in 2008, from a liver disease from which he had long suffered.

Making it easy to freely, openly express yourself no matter your age, Speckles Art Studio offers classes for both children and adults that help creativity flow. Patient instructors invite students to follow along as they demonstrate the skills to make three-dimensional mixed-media pieces, drawings, and even sewn works. For special occasions, the Speckles staff takes the reins with art-centric birthday party packages that may include pizza, cupcakes, and the chance for kids to make art out of the contents of their meal plates.
Castlemore Golf and Country Club's semi-private 9-hole course challenges golfers with a triple threat of tight fairways, small greens, and numerous water hazards. As obstacles abound, players are forced into nerve-racking shot situations, forcing them to make deft club selections or play conservatively by putting through the entire course. Four par 3s and a lack of par 5s make scoring the par of 32 a possibility for scratch golfers, though three sets of tees per hole ensure enjoyment for players of all abilities. After the round, clubbers can retire to the pro shop for new equipment or a shirt that hasn't just returned from swimming in the course ponds. An elegant, Carolina-inspired clubhouse also houses a restaurant and event centre that seats up to 200 guests and features a terrace that overlooks the 18th green.
Course at a Glance: * 9-hole, par 32 course * Total distance of 2,253 yards from back tees * Three sets of tees
Spread across 270 historic acres, Knollwood Golf Course is a challenging 36-hole facility comprised of the Old Course set right alongside the New Course?both designed by well-regarded course superintendent Jack Harris in 1970 and 1990, respectively. Players can opt for a round on the Old Course or the New Course links and enjoy hole designs that embrace the natural Ancaster topography. Elevated tees and long, perplexing par 5 holes with ominous names such as Buried Treasure and Redemption lead to finely timed fairways that open up into stirring panoramas. The New Course entices advanced club swingers, and the Old Course's more accessible series of par 4 holes with large, accommodating greens is appealing for beginners.
Knollwood players don clean-cut golf attire and enjoy a golfer's paradise that has been open to the public since 1970 and keeps players happy with sprightly paced 10-minute tee times, on-site restaurants and beverage carts, and a "no-argue" rain cheque policy. The facility's proud groundskeepers maintain large, naturalized areas on the course intended to encourage the wildlife to thrive and occasionally join in on a game.
LakeShore Links Indoor Golf's sleek, 8,000-square-foot facility helps golf swings avoid offseason rust with nine golf simulators and a duo of instructors that hold lessons year-round. Within the simulators, wall-sized, high-definition screens capture every blade of grass at 23 legendary courses, including Bay Hill and Pinehurst, and built-in video-swing-analysis cameras allow players to scrutinize their techniques, introducing them to a digital doppelgänger soon to be their inferior. Virtual rounds even grant stick-flickers the freedom to take a mulligan with the mere touch of a button, which instantly lets them replay their previous shot. LakeShore's resident aces help groom games with everything from private lessons to junior development programs, and golf-simulator league play helps participants sharpen their competitive edge all year round. As golfers play through a circuit of fairway facsimiles, the club curbs appetites with a menu of very real light fare.
Some consider it therapeutic. Others find it a challenging exercise. Either way, the driving range is an oasis where golfers send shots soaring toward a variety of targets spread across the 300-yard fairway from the two-tiered structure peppered with 57 stalls. Launch Golf Centre remains open throughout the year, allowing players of all stripes to work on full drives in spring, mid-iron approaches in summer, or using putters to swordfight snowmen in winter. During cold months, players can opt for heated hitting zones as they thwack golf balls into the snowy tundra. The centre also offers table service for food and drinks while players are honing their skills. For players looking to improve their skill sets with the help of an expert, six teaching professionals conduct lessons and clinics to smooth the path toward lower scores.
The piercing clang of well-struck drives resonates across the grounds at Golden Ridge Golf, their echoes beckoning to clubbers to come groom their game at the multifaceted complex. Guests can smooth out rough-edged swings with a stint at the 300-yard driving range, where players can hit off of natural grass or faux-turf mats and take cover in sheltered hitting bays during rainstorms or pelican pranks. An 18-hole mini-golf course channels the charm of an old country town with a decorative wagon, general store facade, and putters that double as moustache combs. All of the grounds' score-shaving resources are utilized to the fullest during Golf Academy clinics and lessons, which are overseen by CPGA-certified pro and former touring professional Gordie Burns.

Right whales carry large populations of three 'whale lice' (Cyamus ovalis, Cyamus gracilis, Cyamus erraticus) that have no other hosts. We used sequence variation in the mitochondrial COI gene to ask (i) whether cyamid population structures might reveal associations among right whale individuals and subpopulations, (ii) whether the divergences of the three nominally conspecific cyamid species on North Atlantic, North Pacific, and southern right whales (Eubalaena glacialis, Eubalaena japonica, Eubalaena australis) might indicate their times of separation, and (iii) whether the shapes of cyamid gene trees might contain information about changes in the population sizes of right whales. We found high levels of nucleotide diversity but almost no population structure within oceans, indicating large effective population sizes and high rates of transfer between whales and subpopulations. North Atlantic and Southern Ocean populations of all three species are reciprocally monophyletic, and North Pacific C. erraticus is well separated from North Atlantic and southern C. erraticus. Mitochondrial clock calibrations suggest that these divergences occurred around 6 million years ago (Ma), and that the Eubalaena mitochondrial clock is very slow. North Pacific C. ovalis forms a clade inside the southern C. ovalis gene tree, implying that at least one right whale has crossed the equator in the Pacific Ocean within the last 1–2 million years (Myr). Low-frequency polymorphisms are more common than expected under neutrality for populations of constant size, but there is no obvious signal of rapid, interspecifically congruent expansion of the kind that would be expected if North Atlantic or southern right whales had experienced a prolonged population bottleneck within the last 0.5 Myr.

Britney's Xmas Brattiness and Post-Holiday Thai
Britney's Xmas Brattiness and Post-Holiday Thai
Britney Spears emerged for the first time since her ridiculous weekend for a trip to Starbucks (obviously) in jeans before dressing down in sweats for dinner at a Thai joint in LA. She and Kevin arranged to both spend time with the boys on Christmas, but according to Page Six she acted like a bit of a brat bragging to Kevin about what she bought the boys and refusing to give them presents from her parents. Meanwhile, amid rumors that Jamie Lynn's baby daddy might not even be Casey Aldridge (um, whatever), the people of Kentwood have voiced their ongoing support of the Spears girls. Not a bad idea for both of them to be home for a while. Hey, at least she wasn't the one making headlines last night. So, here's to Brit ending 2007 with no big news, fingers crossed. ICYMI, check out our slideshow look back at Britney's Big Bad Year.

Travel Blogs from Ronda
Visit of Marbella and Torremolinos for a day
On the way we stopped at Mijas for a bit and than drove through the mountains to Marbella. The weather was rather strange, a lot if wind and temperatures of around 25 which is pretty cool for here at this time of year. We walked through the little streets of the old town which was real nice and walked down to the boulevard following the beach for a bit. But as the wind was to fresh we went back up and had some lunch on a little square before ...
Ronda to Seville
... bottles of it on the tables in cafés and restaurants. We ate in a beautiful little courtyard at our hotel tonight as it was about 10pm by the time we had checked in. Bruce booked hotel through "Mr and Mrs Smith" website. Hotel and staff delightful so will keep that in mind for another time. Bed at 1am and still about 20 ...
Granada to Ronda
... strength of this mishap and needless to say we all agreed!! We then explored Ronda, a delightful town with a population of about 37,000. Spectacular scenery. Andrew was not feeling great at this stage so decided not to have tapas and I went out in sympathy with him. Bruce, Di and Nick found this little place and thought it was the best tapas so far. ...
Getting to Europe... by the skin of our teeth
... Steven nursed his sore tummy in bed I wondering out later that evening to get some Euros, snacks and painkillers. I think I experienced reverse culture shock. Gone were the dirty streets, sullen ladies in long dresses, and haunted looking men, and in their place were immaculate cobble stoned streets, young girls in shorts (so short I could see their cheeks), and people walking their playful dogs with shiny fur coats. It feels good to be back in the first ...
Towns on Rocks - hitting the high points!
... down into town for dinner and then up the rock again to our hotel, appropriately named 'The Rock'. This hotel is a classic. Who knows how far we walked but our knees were certainly aware the next day.
Having a car on vacation is different for us and the route through the white towns of Andalusia made for really interesting driving. Thank goodness we didn't get a bigger car than our Renault Megane. If the journey is as important as the destination, ...

I've made some yummy goodies over the past few months that I haven't posted about yet.
First was the ice cream cake I made for my son's birthday. He asked for an ice cream cake, but I didn't want to pay so much for one...and I am not really a fan of them. So I googled and found a few directions for how to make one. This is the recipe I came up with~
Ice Cream Cake
1 box devils food cake mix
Ice Cream (I used Bunny Tracks)
1 can of whipped frosting
Directions: Start at least a day ahead of time!! Line a 9" round cake pan with plastic cling wrap. Fill it with softened ice cream (I had the Bunny Tracks set out on the counter for about 20 mins or so). Freeze. Bake cake in the other 9" cake pan according to directions. Since there was extra cake mix I made cupcakes too.
After the cake is completely cooled (I baked mine one night and put it together the next morning) then I took the ice cream out of the pan and put it on a large plate. I immediately put some frosting on top and then the cake and stuck it back in the freezer. A few hours later I pulled it out and frosted it. The ice cream will melt fast...so frost quickly. I stuck it back in the freezer for a few hours before serving. It was yummy and not as dried out as those store bought ones!!I also made 2 types of candy corn barks a few weeks ago. I saw a recipe on a recent client's blog. It had a link to another blog where they got the recipe. That is where I found the 2nd type of candy corn bark. The 2nd one asked for Halloween Oreos and I went a wild goose chase around town to find them. Both were yummy, but I think I will try them with regular (not white) chocolate next year.
Here is the first bark. Looking forward to making it with candy canes!Here is the one with oreos. It's hard to get it broken into smaller pieces. I already bought red oreos for xmas....not sure what I can sub for the candy corn. How would candy canes taste?On this side I also found a recipe for Oreo Truffles. Sorry no pic...we ate them quickly!! I think for xmas instead of rolling the balls in crushed oreos that I will roll them in crushed candy canes. YUM!

Free Auto Accident Injury Consultation - 3rd Party Cases Accepted
Upper Cervical Care & Whiplash
Many people complain of a very common condition after an auto accident, Whiplash. Whiplash occurs when there is a sudden movement of the head, backward, forward, or sideways, which commonly occurs in auto accidents and more so when rear-ended. During such an injury, neck ligaments and muscles can be sprained or strained and vertebrae can be misaligned. While the term "whiplash" is most frequently used to describe auto accident injuries (in which a person is rear-ended, hit head-on, or hit from the side), whiplash can also frequently occur during ski accidents, bike accidents, falls, blows to the head, concussions, and other head/neck traumas.
Whiplash symptoms can include:
- Pain in neck, back, arms, and legs
- Disc disorders
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome / Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- Vertigo disorders / Dizziness / Tinnitus (ear ringing)
- Headache / Migraine
- Visual disturbance
- Personality and cognitive changes (depression, attention deficit, memory loss, concentration difficulty)
- Insomnia, Sleep disorders
- Jaw and face pain (TMJ Dysfunction,Trigeminal Neuralgia)
- Torticollis / dystonia
- In certain cases, more severe neurological symptoms can manifest (sometimes occurring many years after the accident) such as tremor, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, seizures, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, to name a few.
Upper Cervical Care, Whiplash & Auto Accidents
The purpose of upper cervical chiropractic care is to reverse the trauma-induced upper neck injury; thereby reducing irritation to the nerves in the brain stem and spinal cord that can trigger pain and other symptoms.
Treatment: After an accident, an upper cervical examination utilizing Radiography and Digital Infrared Imaging is necessary in each individual's case to assess whether an upper cervical injury is present and whether benefit from upper cervical care can be achieved.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA – Bexel, a unit of the Vitec Group's Services Division and a leading worldwide provider of broadcast services and solutions, has added several Panasonic P2 HD VariCam camcorders and accessories to its P2 HD inventory in preparation for the Vancouver Winter Olympics and future sports-related television productions.
Bexel has purchased from Panasonic more than 20 additional P2 HD VariCam 3700 (HPX3700) and 2700 (HPX2700) camcorders, HPM200 P2 mobile edit stations, PCD35 E Series P2 readers and more than 300 P2 memory cards.
"This purchase of the Panasonic HD camera equipment is extremely timely considering this new gear will immediately go into service at the Vancouver Winter Olympics," says Craig Schiller, vice president/general manager, Bexel. "The 2700′s and 3700′s are known for being durable, reliable camcorders, especially in the extreme weather conditions that are common in Vancouver. The addition of this premium equipment helps us further service our clients' demand for the latest in HD camera technology."
The Panasonic gear will also come in handy for clients in need of equipment that can withstand the grueling production schedules of other televised productions such as sports and reality TV broadcasts. In fact, they have already been used for recent coverage of the Senior Skins golf tournament in Hawaii, this past January.
"Our clients want a turnkey workflow for production, specifically sports coverage, that requires a fast turnaround," says Schiller. "These new additions to the Bexel inventory will help provide our clients with the immediate access they need in order to complete file transfers quickly into AVID, FCP and EVS edit workflows, which helps reduce turnaround time while preserving the native quality."
In addition to the camcorders themselves, Bexel has also added the P2 line of mobile edit stations, E Series readers and memory cards to its inventory. Providing clients with what they need from soup-to-nuts is always a driving force behind Bexel's purchases.
"This new equipment, combined with our existing HD inventory provides our customers with some of the most up-to-date technology," adds Schiller. "It also helps ease the stress of meeting their demanding deadlines."

Multiple accidents are being reported on the Natcher Parkway.
Corey King with Kentucky State Police tells 14 News that the Ohio County Sheriff's Office, Hartford Police Department, and KSP were on the scene of a jackknifed tanker semi in the median of the Natcher at the 50.5 mile marker.
The northbound side was only blocked for about 15 minutes, according to Keith Todd of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. They managed to open a lane to allow traffic through on one lane, then had the site cleared in about an hour.
King also tells 14 News that a Ford F-150 truck has flipped on it's top near the Western Kentucky Parkway and the Natcher.
No word on what caused either accidents.

Notredamemom, when "they refuse to fight to keep government small " ? What on earth are you talking about? Who's fighting to keep government small is certainly not the demos. How about a 10% cut across the board, including my SS check, and a 25 per cent cut on these welfare slugs? We're spending a trillion dollars a year on welfare transfers. How long can that last? Government does not create wealth, only consumes it. I think we're doomed.

As a wildlife rescue we deal daily with casualties that happen through a lack of understanding. We see fear and misunderstanding of the creatures that surround us. But actually they all have very special roles..
By sharing our experience with children and showing them some of the wildlife that surrounds them we hope that in the future these would-be custodians of our planet will make good decisions and ensure our survival alongside our precious wildlife in a natural balance.
Childhood experiences can impact dramatically on your life. You can't beat first hand practical experience. Wildlife surrounds us in a hidden and secret world. Through our talks we help children to understand the creatures we share our planet with. We try to overcome their prejudices, fears and misconceptions and help promote our wildlife and tolerance.
By understanding these creatures we can learn to live alongside them and benefit from their existence in our environment.
We do not profess to have the ability to change the world, but if we can reach students and get them thinking we can hope the decisions they make as adults, in relation to their environment, may just include a thought for our native wildlife and it's importance and longevity

Fauquier supervisors table zoning change that could lead to racetrack
© Prince William TimesFauquier County supervisors last week tabled discussion of a zoning change that could lead to a Nokesville group building an off-road motorcycle track.
But before they voted to postpone the matter for up to 60 days, emotional comments were made for and against the potential project.
At issue is an amendment to Fauquier's zoning ordinance about outdoor sports and activities. If approved, it would apply to other pursuits, such as swimming, tennis, golf, skateboarding and paintball.
But the subject came up because of interest in the creation of a motocross facility.
Catlett resident Mike Bridges has been talking with Fauquier officials for months about his desire to build a motorcycle/ATV track.
Bridges is president of the group Family Off-Road Riders of Prince William County, which has a track just over the Fauquier line in Nokesville.
But Prince William regulations prevent racing there, so Bridges and his fellow riders want to build a place in Fauquier for competitive events.
Bridges told the Fauquier supervisors last week that off-road motorcycling provides an opportunity for parents to participate in a sport with their children.
"It really is a family outing, or a family event," he said during a public hearing.
Bridges said if a track was set up, it would be run as a business and his group wouldn't seek any economic development assistance from Fauquier.
He also said he understands that approval of the zoning change wouldn't necessarily mean that supervisors later would "rubber-stamp" specific plans for a track.
The amendment would simply give his pastime "equal footing" with other sports already considered acceptable by county regulations, he said.
John Burke, a member of Bridges' off-road club who lives in Warrenton, told supervisors that he can recall when high-dollar land development in Washington's Maryland suburbs drove motocross out of town.
He said that he hopes Fauquier never becomes "so wealthy and so exclusive" that the sport he enjoys with his 9- and 11-year-old sons is considered too pedestrian to be allowed.
Supervisor Peter Schwartz, however, said he was so sure most Fauquier residents would object to a motocross track that he couldn't vote even to table the matter until a future meeting.
He said that he would never support such an operation and that if the supervisors ever considered a specific proposal, "hundreds" of people would turn out in protest.
But he said he would never let them because it would be disrespectful to his neighbors, who want peace and quiet.
Schwartz also noted that Bridges' Nokesville facility is proclaimed as the only such operation in Northern Virginia.
"Doesn't that tell you something?" he asked rhetorically.
Supervisor Lee Sherbeyn, on the other hand, said riders from a motocross club have traversed parts of his land in southern Fauquier.
They didn't leave behind even a scrap of trash, he said, and not one of his neighbors complained about them.
Sherbeyn also pointed out that plenty of Fauquier residents lawfully shoot guns on their own property, which makes for quite a bit of noise.
"But we accept that because they have a right," he said.
So it's a "disservice" to residents who like motocross to prematurely say there's nowhere in the county they could build a track, Sherbeyn said.
Board Chairman Chester Stribling, Vice Chairman Holder Trumbo and Supervisor Chris Granger agreed with him to table the matter so they could study it further.
Schwartz, meanwhile, cast the sole dissenting vote, which probably didn't sit well with Bridges and his bunch, who filled nearly half of the audience area in the supervisors' meeting room in the Warren Green Building in Warrenton.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The start is wandering and funky. Use a runner on the first 2 bolts ( see below ) Very pumpy and overhanging start with great holds. Once you make it the crux ( about 3/4 of the way up ) its gets bit harder with small holds. Very fun climb!
From the Belay platform above "Shelf Serve" and "Chain Gain" Traverse 6 feet right to find the first clip that is out of view. Use a full length runner for this clip!! ( and maybe even the second clip ) From here the climb heads left, above the hanging chain, and then upwards onto the face/arete ( right hand side of the headwall) Climber can be lowered all the way down to the ground, or bypass this all together by climbing Shelf Serve and Chain GANG as one continuous route. There will be severe road drag either way, but its worth it, Very fun exposed route!

21. A computer system for processing an inquiry from a customer for environment and use specific parts, the computer system comprising:
at least one user computer running a computer program that requests information according to an input product inquiry, including anticipated use information;
a system server running a server program, the at least one user computer and the system server being interconnected by a computer network, the system server searching a database of products according to the input product inquiry and sending the requested information via the computer network.
22. A computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium for processing an inquiry from a customer for environment and use specific parts, the computer program comprising:
means for receiving a product inquiry from a customer, the inquiry including anticipated use information;
means for searching a database of products based on the product inquiry; and
means for outputting a search result.
[0001] This invention relates to a method and system for processing customer inquiries over a computer network and, more particularly, to a method and system for processing an inquiry from a customer for environment and use specific parts with advanced iterative searching to reflect multiple alternatives and anticipated product use.
[0002] While numerous processes exist that permit various commercial and information transactions via a computer network such as the Internet, existing processes typically focus to a great extent on commodity products (i.e., products that are easily described by only name or catalog number and that do not contemplate that the customer would impose additional requirements above and beyond standard product specifications). In addition, these systems are typically focused on the supply of products, without the supplier providing assistance to the customer to verify the correctness of the customer choice for the purposes the customer anticipates using the product. Certain applications are available via the Internet such as so-called �configurators� and �wizards,� which enable a customer to select from lists of predetermined parameters or specify functions within a range. These systems, however, are developed ultimately to select combinations or arrangements of commodity products for sale to the customer.
[0003] It would thus be desirable to provide a method and system to effect complete commercial transactions via a computer network for products or services that must be uniquely adapted or verified for applicability on a customer application specific basis.
[0004] In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method of processing an inquiry from a customer for environment and use specific parts includes (a) storing information relating to environment and use specific parts, including upgrades, supercessions, and replacements in a part database; (b) receiving a customer inquiry concerning a part; (c) searching the part database for the information relevant to the part; and (d) outputting the information for customer display. In this context, step (b) may be practiced by receiving a customer indication of anticipated part use, and step (c) may be practiced by searching the part database based on the anticipated part use. Anticipated part uses may include a designation of geographical location, an environment, whether the part is anticipated for use with safety concerns and the like. The storing step may be practiced by storing at least one of regulating organization, qualification status, shelf life, obsolescence information, delivery cycles and the like.
[0005] The method may further include enabling the customer to request a price quote for the part. In this context, the customer may select a purchase option, such as new, refurbished or upgraded, and the storing step may be practiced by storing individual contact information based on the selected purchase option. For business practice purposes, the price quote may have limited delivery only to an authorized representative. The price quote is preferably provided and varied based on the anticipated part use.
[0006] In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method of processing an inquiry from a customer includes (a) receiving a product inquiry from a customer, the inquiry including anticipated use information; (b) searching a database of products based on the product inquiry; and (c) outputting a search result.

[0018]FIG. 12 is a sample form allowing the customer to confirm the desired list of products to be quoted.
[0019] The product inquiry system implemented in the diagrams of FIGS. 2-7 is preferably a browser-based system in which a program running on a user's computer (the user's web browser) requests information from a server program running on a system server. The system server sends the requested data back to the browser program and the browser program then interprets and displays the data on the user's computer screen. The process is as follows:
[0020] 1. The user runs a web browser program on his/her computer.
[0021] 2. The user connects to the server computer (e.g., via the Internet). Connection to the server computer may be conditioned upon the correct entry of a password as is well known.
[0022] 3. The user requests a page from the server computer. The user's browser sends a message to the server computer that includes the following:
[0023] the transfer protocol (e.g., http://); and
[0024] the address, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
[0025] 4. The server computer receives the user's request and retrieves the requested page, which is composed, for example, in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).
[0026] 5. The server then transmits the requested page to the user's computer.
[0027] 6. The user's browser program receives the HTML text and displays its interpretation of the requested page.
[0028] Thus, the browser program on the user's computer sends requests and receives the data needed to display the HTML page on the user's computer screen. This includes the HTML file itself plus any graphic, sound and/or video files mentioned in it. Once the data is retrieved, the browser formats the data and displays the data on the user's computer screen. Helper applications, plug-ins, and enhancements such as Java� enable the browser, among other things, to play sound and/or display video inserted in the HTML file. The fonts installed on the user's computer and the display preferences in the browser used by the user determine how the text is formatted.
[0029] If the user has requested an action that requires running a program (e.g., a search), the server loads and runs the program. This process usually creates a custom HTML page �on the fly� that contains the results of the program's action (e.g., the search results), and then sends those results back to the browser.
[0030] Browser programs suitable for use in connection with the product inquiry system of the present invention include Netscape � Navigator available from Netscape � Communications Corporation and Internet Explorer available from Microsoft � Corp.
[0031] While the above description contemplates that each user has a computer running a web browser, it will be appreciated that more than one user could use a particular computer terminal or that a �kiosk� at a central location (e.g., a cafeteria, a break area, etc.) with access to the system server could be provided.
[0032] It will be recognized by those in the art that various tools are readily available to create web pages for accessing data stored on a server and that such tools may be used to develop and implement the product inquiry system described below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[0033]FIG. 1 generally illustrates a computer system 201 suitable for use as the client and server components of the product inquiry system of the invention. It will be appreciated that the client and server computers will run appropriate software and that the client and server computers may be somewhat differently configured with respect to the processing power of their respective processors and with respect to the amount of memory used. Computer system 201 includes a processing unit 203 and a system memory 205. A system bus 207 couples various system components including system memory 205 to processing unit 203. System bus 207 may be any of several types of bus structures including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. System memory 205 includes read only memory (ROM) 252 and random access memory (RAM) 254. A basic input/output system (BIOS) 256, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer system 201, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 252. Computer system 201 further includes various drives and associated computer-readable media. A hard disk drive 209 reads from and writes to a (typically fixed) magnetic hard disk 211; a magnetic disk drive 213 reads from and writes to a removable �floppy� or other magnetic disk 215; and an optical disk drive 217 reads from and, in some configurations, writes to a removable optical disk 219 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. Hard disk drive 209, magnetic disk drive 213, and optical disk drive 217 are connected to system bus 207 by a hard disk drive interface 221, a magnetic disk drive interface 223, and an optical drive interface 225, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-readable instructions, SQL-based procedures, data structures, program modules, and other data for computer system 201. In other configurations, other types of computer-readable media that can store data that is accessible by a computer (e.g., magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs) and the like) may also be used.
[0034] A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk 211, removable magnetic disk 215, optical disk 219 and/or ROM 252 and/or RAM 254 of the system memory 205. Such program modules may include an operating system providing graphics and sound APIs, one or more application programs, other program modules, and program data. A user may enter commands and information into computer system 201 through input devices such as a keyboard 227 and a pointing device 229. Other input devices may include a microphone, joystick, game controller, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 203 through a serial port interface 231 that is coupled to the system bus 207, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port interface or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 233 or other type of display device is also connected to system bus 207 via an interface, such as a video adapter 235.
[0035] The computer system 201 may also include a modem 254 or other means for establishing communications over the wide area network 252, such as the Internet. The modem 254, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 207 via the serial port interface 231. A network interface 256 may also be provided for allowing the computer system 201 to communicate with a remote computing device 250 via a local area network 258 (or such communication may be via the wide area network 252 or other communications path such as dial-up or other communications means). The computer system 201 will typically include other peripheral output devices, such as printers and other standard peripheral devices.
[0036] As will be understood by those familiar with web-based forms and screens, users may make menu selections by pointing-and-clicking using a mouse, trackball or other pointing device, or by using the TAB and ENTER keys on a keyboard. For example, menu selections may be highlighted by positioning the cursor on the selections using a mouse or by using the TAB key. The mouse may be left-clicked to select the selection or the ENTER key may be pressed. Other selection mechanisms including voice-recognition systems, touch-sensitive screens, etc. may be used and the invention is not limited in this respect.
[0037]FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the website architecture. A user/customer accesses a home page 10 via a computer network such as the Internet using a web browser program running on a computer. As discussed above, the customer requests the home page 10 from a server computer by sending a message to the server computer including the transfer protocol and the address or uniform resource locator (URL). At the home page 10, the user can access links 12, 14 to public information and website information, respectively generated from the source. As shown in FIG. 3, exemplary links for a nuclear parts website include CRD services, electrical vacuum breakers, electronics service program, motor/generator services, recirc pump improvements, sentinel valves, transponder cards (upgrades and replacements) and terms of use. The customer can also access help information, frequently asked questions (FAQs) and provide feedback through the website. In this context, although the invention is described with its application to nuclear parts, this application is exemplary, and the invention is not meant to be necessarily limited to the described application.
[0038] With continued reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the customer can alternatively perform a search by inputting a part number or part description (or portions thereof) 16. The server computer stores a database of products, including parts and services, and runs appropriate software to search the database for products relating to the entered part number or part description. The database and searching software are generally known and additional details thereof will not be further described. In the present invention, software is preferably configured to search for exact matches and closely related matches; however, the software can be configured to function in any known manner including using customer driven parameters.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the customer can then select the part number/description 18 from the part number search results using known drop-down menus or the like. When the customer selects the desired part number, the server system searches the database to retrieve detailed information 20 relating to the selected part as shown in FIG. 5. With this information, the customer can refine their search and reach a preliminary tentative conclusion as to whether the specific product may fit their unique product needs. As shown, this information can include specialty manufacturing data such as regulating organization (such as IEEE and ASME) code qualification status, whether the part is anticipated for use with safety concerns, shelf life, purchase options such as new, refurbished or upgraded, and the like. The information may also include obsolescence solutions including a list of supercession or replacement parts and/or upgraded parts. As shown in FIG. 5, a customer can search these parts via drop-down menus or the like. Information may still additionally include typical delivery cycles, part specific contact data (name and telephone number/e-mail address) and any other information as determined by the technical features of the product. These parameters can be further modified to reflect customer anticipated product use or the like. For example, with a change in purchase option using the drop-down menu as shown, the cycle time is correspondingly changed as well as other product information including contact information and the like.
[0040] From this display 20, the customer can request a quote for the selected product (part or service) by selecting a displayed link 22 as shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the customer identifies itself and the plant location for the selected product 24 using the drop-down menus. Alternatively, the customer may be automatically identified on the basis of the login ID and password used to initially access the system. Subsequently, the system displays a Request for Quote form 26 for the indicated customer and plant location. As shown in FIG. 7, the Request for Quote form includes information retrieved from a database of customer information including mailing address, fax number, and authorized buyer to whom the quote is to be sent, and the authorized buyer's phone number and the like. In this manner, the system enables engineering or other non-management personnel to request a quote including specific parameters encompassing anticipated use and the like, while the quote is forwarded only to the designated authorized representative. As such, the commercial aspects of any transaction with respect to the product can be limited to a customer-designated representative to whom the commercial data is to be submitted.
[0041] In the parts section as shown in FIG. 7, the customer can specify a unique description or added descriptive data beyond information displayed by the supplier, for example, to indicate an anticipated use of the product. With this information, the supplier can review the request and anticipated use and make an independent technical evaluation of product suitability. For example, in the context of a nuclear reactor, safety concerns are obviously of high importance. A part that is suitable for implementation into one nuclear plant is not necessarily suitable for another nuclear plant, even of the same plant type. Engineering requirements, particularly with respect to safety-related applications, take into consideration not only functional application of the part in the nuclear reactor, but also global characteristics of the plant itself including geographical location, environment and the like. In this context, for example, factors of safety for a particular part in a nuclear reactor may be higher in geographical locations having a history of earthquakes or high humidity or the like. Such considerations must all be considered to effectively determine suitability of a particular product, and the system of the present invention serves as a vehicle to achieve that aim.
[0042] Additionally, the Request for Quote form enables the customer to designate whether the product is anticipated for use with safety concerns, as some parts may be used in both safety related and non-safety related applications. A customer can also specify additional special requirements for the product that typically also encompass an indication of anticipated product use. With respect to priority, the customer can designate priority levels, which may affect the price included with the quote. For example, a customer may be requesting a product to replenish warehouse stock or alternatively for planned scheduled work, etc. As also shown in FIG. 7, the customer can specify the date by which a quotation and/or product delivery is required.
[0043] Preferably, the forms completion is made user-friendly enabling the customer to accumulate multiple line item requests under a single customer-specified request for quote identity and allow the customer to review the Request for Quote form after creation and before final submittal (particularly with multiple line item Request for Quote forms) and change the submittal by adding or deleting items before making the final Request for Quote submittal. Still additional information or specifications are entered into the supplier computer system with the Request for Quote form entries so that the customer information will be electronically available to the supplier personnel responding to a customer request. This customer and respective anticipated use information can be created, reviewed and modified in the supplier system by customer according to the unique criteria for the product.
[0044] With the supplied information, appropriate supplier personnel can uniquely interact with each customer and ensure that the electronically submitted request for quote (or purchase order) is adequately understood and complete to ensure proper processing. A customer service representative can examine the customer submitted Request for Quote form, discuss the transaction by telephone and/or other electronic means such as e-mail with the customer, and update, clarify or correct the item before releasing it into the supplier quote fulfillment system so that the quality and responsiveness of the supplier can be maximized. With this system, moreover, any commercial team member in the supplier organization can access submitted Request for Quote forms when contacted by a customer and release it into the supplier system in advance of the supplier customer service review in order to expedite processing of urgent customer requests.
[0045] With this system, pricing models may be constructed which take into consideration customer specific standards and terms of sale, product specific information, and specific information regarding the facility for which the product is intended. These pricing models may also be so constructed as to provide the supplier with the capability to define product- and customer-specific boundaries within which automated online pricing may be provided to the customer. As a consequence, automated routines may be established such that under supplier defined conditions, products are priced automatically online, while under other conditions, the very same product may be set aside for manual confirmation of the pricing by the supplier organization before release to the customer.
[0046] Still further, supplier personnel can perform detailed commercial and technical reviews by directly interacting with a database of customer-supplied information as well as other supplier databases and systems to thereby electronically review, create and modify data necessary to ensure that the product or service quoted and/or supplied to the customer is in compliance with the customer's unique technical and/or commercial requirements and is also appropriate for the customer's application, considering other industry, regulatory or supplier information, which may not even be known or available to the customer. The data may include both information suitable for release to the customer and intellectual property not suitable for release to a customer, in a database structure permitting data to be correspondingly classified and controlled. Information appropriate for release to the customer can be made available to the customer using the system of the present invention. Such information can include safety checklists to ensure that the product offered is in compliance with both customer and industry/regulatory requirements as well as requirements that may only be known to the supplier.
[0047] Obsolescence evaluations are also included to identify alternate products where the customer requested product is no longer available. Similarly, part equivalency evaluations are included to validate that alternate products located in an obsolescence evaluation are suitably interchangeable with the customer-requested product. This evaluation can identify any conditions of use that may need to be reviewed with the customer to ensure acceptability of the alternate product for the customer's use (i.e., mounting dimensions, product performance specification variations compared to the original product, etc.). Unique commercial reviews develop pricing consistent with unique aspects of the customer request. Pricing models sensitive to the customer and facility of use, as well as obsolescence information may then be constructed to display, under carefully controlled conditions, online pricing for customer consideration. In addition, customer-specific obsolescence information can be utilized to alert the customer to product alternatives at the time the customer uses the system to request a quote. Internet displays can enable a customer to obtain and/or review appropriate portions of the above information.
[0048] With the system of the present invention, a customer can search for products and retrieve information pertaining to the applicability of the product to its anticipated use. Additional anticipated use information can be supplied to the product supplier for further applicability analyses and a price quote.
[0049] While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

"Brewster arrived in town eager to appear on every TV and radio show in town, eager to repeat his favorite mottos and talking points. When he proved unwilling to answer any questions with candor, and followed a summer of relentless promotion with a 1-11 season, he lost credibility faster than Alan Greenspan.
"These days, Brewster spends games barking at officials, spends his postgame news conferences -- even after victories -- seething at perceived and sometimes nonexistent slights.
"While he has become less likeable as a promoter, he has become more credible as a head coach."

The Bills are trying to replace Kiko Alonso, and one training camp practice in, things are looking promising for third-year pro Nigel Bradham's chances of claiming the bulk of that role.
Kiko Alonso has officially had his torn ACL repair, which starts the clock ticking on his 7-9 month recovery timetable.
You can't convince me that Buffalo Rumblings readers didn't subconsciously sense the Kiko Alonso news coming this week, given the questions sent in for our weekly mailbag feature.
Not all drafts are created equal, but let's compare previous No. 9 overall picks in NFL history anyway.
Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier joins college teammate, cornerback Bradley Roby on the list of reported Buffalo Bills pre-draft visitors.
Moats had lost his starting job for Mike Pettine, and after the Brandon Spikes and Keith Rivers signings, his departure was inevitable.
The Buffalo Bills haven't signed anyone since Friday night, so now the opinion pieces on their work in free agency are starting to roll in.
The Buffalo Bills have roped in a new linebacker, and you'll recognize the name: Brandon Spikes, formerly of New England.
The Bills have a need for a run-defending middle linebacker, and Spikes is the best on the market for that role.
The Bills are reorganizing their linebackers as they transition to a new defense. GM Doug Whaley commented on upcoming role changes for Kiko Alonso and Manny Lawson, plus more.
Here's your news roundup from Wednesday's trio of Bills free agent signings.
The Buffalo Bills added another former first-round pick in free agency, adding Keith Rivers to the team's linebacker depth.
