Real Name
Terrance Gerin
Date of Birth
October 7, 1975
Place of Birth
With Night of Champions 2014 being a crucial pay per view in terms of drawing in WWE Network subscribers, management is going to be stacking the deck a bit. They knew that they needed their two biggest draws in the main event. That's why it has now been officially announced that John Cena has activated his rematch clause against Brock Lesnar, and the two will tangle again for the world heavyweight championship.
August 20, 2014
It will be interesting to see how WWE handles the promotion of the world heavyweight championship over the next few weeks. Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be back on television for approximately a month. John Cena, who is returning next week, is expected to get his rematch story line. Paul Heyman is great at what he does, but management will be curious to see how the audience reacts to a missing champion.
August 19, 2014
For those of you that missed Monday Night Raw this week, Brock Lesnar made his much anticipated return to WWE and challenged John Cena at Summerslam 2014 for the world heavyweight championship. The story is that Paul Heyman convinced Triple H to go with Plan C because it was the best chance at getting the strap away from Cena.
July 22, 2014
Rumors are floating around that the segment on Monday Night Raw between John Cena and Ric Flair was a subtle way for WWE to retire the world heavyweight championship belt. For those that missed it, Cena handed the belt over to Flair and told the legendary performer to keep it. WWE has not released an official statement on the matter yet, so fans will be tuning in to Smackdown and WWE Battleground 2014 to see the fate of the belt.
July 15, 2014
Prior to his injury, there were plans in place to have MVP winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Eric Young. Since the company needed a heel champion to be the antagonist against Kurt Angle and his new on screen authority role, the belt went to Bobby Lashley instead. There are talks that TNA could try to figure out how to transfer the belt over to MVP soon.
July 5, 2014
Based on all the moves that they have been making as of late, it seems that Dixie Carter and her company are hellbent on generating big numbers at these upcoming shows in New York City. TNA just announced that Jeff Hardy will be challenging Bobby Lashley for the world heavyweight championship at one of the shows. Both guys have name value thanks to their time in WWE.
June 21, 2014
A big reason why Bobby Lashley was given the TNA World Heavyweight Championship this week is because he is viewed as a marketing asset. The company immediately sent out a press release to inform them that Lashley had become the new champion. TNA is touting his accomplishments as a collegiate athlete, military personnel, mixed martial arts and professional wrestling to the media.
June 20, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
Since MVP has a badly injured knee, TNA decided to change up the main event of Slammiversary 2014. Eric Young will still be defending the world heavyweight championship in a steel cage at the event, but he's now going to be doing so against two opponents. The winners of the respective matches between Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King and Austin Aries will be challenging Young for the belt.
June 13, 2014
During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, MVP revealed that he was going to try to fight through the knee injury and work Slammiversary 2014. The former United States Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to challenge Eric Young for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the pay per view. Management is still working on a backup plan in case his knee does not hold up, however.
June 11, 2014
During the Payback 2014 pay per view, WWE did a segment where Stephanie McMahon demanded that Daniel Bryan make a decision about the world heavyweight championship. Instead of him giving up the belt that he chased for so long, Brie Bella told Stephanie that she was quitting WWE. Brie then gave a big slap to Stephanie. The belief is that Brie will be given some time off of television.
June 1, 2014
Slammiversary 2014 takes place later on this month, and the main event might be in jeopardy. Originally, Eric Young was scheduled to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against MVP, but the challenger suffered some sort of knee injury while working an independent wrestling show in England over the weekend. No word yet on the severity of the injury, but MVP was limping pretty badly.
June 1, 2014
For those of you that do not watch Impact Wrestling on a regular basis, MVP has done a heel turn. The former United States Heavyweight Champion has also given himself a shot at Eric Young and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Slammiversary 2014 as well. Management pulled the trigger on the move, as they feel that MVP could be more valuable as an antagonist.
May 9, 2014
In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship. Young scored the pin fall victory after delivering two piledrivers and a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Magnus attempted to cheat by using a weapon to win the TNA title back, but the referee caught him.
April 27, 2014
Rumors have it that people backstage in WWE are amused by the fact that TNA put their world heavyweight championship around the waist of Eric Young. It is not so much a shot at Young, as many in the industry feel that he is a good worker and a nice person. The ridicule is more about how TNA went about with the story line of crowning him as champion.
April 19, 2014
Since he is now the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, Eric Young is being given a bit of a gimmick change, as management wants to move him further away from the comedic character that he has portraying over the years. TNA wants fans to believe that Young is a credible champion. His Monster's Ball match against Abyss on Impact Wrestling was to aid that.
April 19, 2014
Rumors have it that another reason why TNA gave the world heavyweight championship to Eric Young was to keep him from joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling. Young and Jarrett have a long history together, and they remain on very good terms. Since he is a very good worker and well liked backstage, TNA would much rather he stay with them long term.
April 18, 2014
A message on Twitter from Mick Foley, where the WWE legend congratulates Eric Young on winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
April 18, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
A video of Eric Young winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Brutus Magnus on Impact Wrestling this week.
April 13, 2014
Since his company is folding and he is joining the Great Muta in Wrestle-1, there are talks that Tajiri could be making an appearance in TNA very soon, as the two companies have been working closely together nowadays. Tajiri still has some name value due to his stint in WWE, and he has a connection with characters like Rhyno, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer and Devon.
July 6, 2014
Another name that has popped up in the rumor mill as a candidate to join Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling is Rhyno. The veteran performer still is booked fairly frequently on the independent wrestling circuit. He has remained in good shape and would bring some familiarity to GFW, especially with older wrestling fans. Rhyno worked with Jarrett in TNA.
May 6, 2014
A picture of Rhyno and Kevin Nash together at a convention recently.
April 12, 2014
"It's definitely tough, it's always been tough, but it all lies down to the individual, we're all individuals and we all have choices whether we can work for a promotion or not. It's a little easier for me, because I've got a name and reputation and I've built a small little brand with my name and wrestling ability and being on TV for over 13-14 years, so it's a little easier for me. It is very difficult for independent wrestlers, but some aspects of it, it's easier now to get your face out there for independent wrestlers because of social media. Back in the day, when you're poor and living in your car, you don't have $10 to print up an 8�10 and put together a 15 minute clip on a VHS tape and then pay $5 to mail it out. Now it's just click click on your smartphone and then send the link to a promoter and it's easier for a promoter to look you up. Back when I started, if you were sending a package out, it cost you $20 and it was tough to get your name out there back then. It's easier now for a guy to just click a couple of links, put the match together and send it to a promoter and that costs you nothing, just time." - Rhyno discusses the professional wrestling business
March 12, 2014
Things were a little hectic for Rhyno during Wrestlemania 2005 weekend. At the after party for the event, Rhino got into a huge argument with his wife, which was witnessed by the other wrestlers and company officials. Things escalated to the point where WWE decided to release him from his contract a few days later.
April 9, 2005
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
January 25, 2004
Rhyno became one of the many people who were left unemployed by the sad closing of ECW, but it did not take long before the former heavyweight champion found another gig. He was picked up by WWE, who was looking to add a ton of depth to their roster. Rhyno made his official debut for the company on Monday Night Raw, joining real life friends Edge and Christian.

A resistance tube type smoke generator utilizes a plurality of tube secti, each having a distinct cross-sectional area and electrical resistivity to provide both storage and vaporization via prolonged differential heating of a smoke producing agent. Thermal control may be exercised by sensing change in resistivity of the entire tube or by thermostatic sensors attached to the tubing sections.
1. An apparatus for generating smoke, comprising in combination:
electrically conductive tubing configured as a coil and having a plurality of sections having distinct I2 R heating properties and cross-sectional areas;

4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said means for controlling the temperature of said tubing comprises a thermostat operably connected to open said current path in response to the temperature of said heater coil.
5. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said means for controlling the temperature of said tubing comprises means for dynamically sensing the variation in resistivity of tubing as a function of temperature and interrupting current flow thereto in accordance with a predetermined temperature level, operably connected to sense resistivity variations along the entire tube.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said means for controlling the temperature of said tubing futher comprises means for varying said predetermined temperature level, operably located distal to said tubing.
7. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said means for applying an electrical current comprises an AC input line providing a parallel current path across said pump section and said heater section, said AC line being connected to said tubing at the center of said storage line and at the ends of said pump and heater sections distant thereto.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said means for controlling the temperature of said tubing comprises:
a first thermostat operably connected to sense the temperature of said pump section and to interrupt the current path therethrough in accordance with a predetermined temperature level; and
a second thermostat operably connected to sense the temperature of said heater section and to interrupt the current path therethrough in accordance with a predetermined temperature level.
9. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said housing means comprises:
an enclosure tube for containing said tubing and said temperature controlling means;
a filler end plate operably connected to said enclosure tube, having means for providing electrical connections and having a central aperture containing a threaded sleeve connected to said pump section;
a filler end plate threadably mated to said threaded sleeve;
a filler end enclosure detachably affixed to said filler end plate covering said filler end plate and said electrical communicating means, having an aperture therethrough for provision of electrical power;
an orifice end plate affixed to said enclosure tube having an orifice communicating with said heater section;
relief disk retaining means affixed to said orifice end plate; and
orifice end enclosure detachably affixed to said orifice end plate having an aperture therethrough for the discharge of smoke.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising means for urging smoke producing agent through said tubing towards said first aperture.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising a reservoir for containing a smoke producing fluid, operably connected to said tubing to admit fluid thereto in response to said urging means.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein said means for urging comprises a spring driven piston, located within said reservoir and compressed by the induction of said smoke agent.
This invention relates to the field of smoke generators, and in particular to portable smoke generators for use as training devices. More particularly, the invention relates to smoke generators wherein a smoke producing agent passes through thermally conductive coils and is thus heated to produce smoke. In still greater particularity, the invention may be described as a smoke generator having a series of thin walled tubular coils which also serve as electric current conductors and hence produce differential heating to prolong duration of smoke generation, each coil having a cross-sectional area, length, and electrical resistance selected to provide storage of, motive forces to, and heat transfer to, a smoke producing liquid contained therein.
Training of personnel in emergency response procedures, such as firefighting, is a continual process of particular importance to those engaged in maritime commerce, public safety, and the armed services, especially the Navy. Small smoke generators currently available are not acceptable for shipboard training or training in confined structures such as barracks or dormitories. The Mark 7 smoke pot is the standard military pyrotechnic smoke generator, and a 3-minute smoke bomb made by the Superior Signal Co. is also used. These are disposable non-resuable units which can be quite expensive. Commercial smoke generators which are electrically operated are available, but are too large for surprise drills, and are generally of low capacity due to lack of effective thermal design.
The portable smoke generator of U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,119 is the closest prior art, it being the experimental predecessor of the instant invention; however, it has been determined that for effective training, a smoke must be generated for a greater length of time than was possible with the battery operated generator. Other smoke generators have been devised, such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,234,357; 3,990,987; and 3,891,826, which have some characteristics common to the instant invention due to the immutable principles of thermodynamics and fluid flow; however, these generators are generally designed for special purpose applications. Therefore, their design and function are somewhat inappropriate for the instant device, which is believed to provide a patentably improved smoke generator.
The current invention overcomes some of the prior problems, in that it is a small portable smoke generator capable of generating a smoke over a prolonged period of time, and is easily and conveniently put into operation wherever an AC outlet is available.
Generally the generator is of the resistance tube type, in that an electrical current passing through the resistance tube is used to heat a coiled tubing containing a smoke producing agent, thereby generating smoke. In its simplest form, the generator has distinct tubing sections, each section having a different cross-sectional area and differnt electrical characteristics, thus providing for a variation of fluid volume and heat transfer among the sections. The first section, a heater section, has the smallest diameter and the highest electrical resistance, thus generates the most heat per unit area. It is also the longest section and is disposed within the generator, having one end communicating with the outlet to the atmosphere and the opposite end connected to the second section, also called the storage section. The storage section is of the largest cross-sectional area and internal volume of the three sections, but has the lowest electrical resistance and generates the least heat per unit area. Connected between an input orifice and said storage section is a third section, also called a pump section. The pump section is of intermediate cross-sectional area and electrical resistance, and serves to force the fluid from the storage section by the thermal activity within the smoke agent in this section.
The various electrical resistances of the tubular sections are advantageously employed by an electrical current passing through the entire length of the tube and generating heat in accordance with the I2 R relationship for each section of tubing. A thermostat is employed in relation to the heater section or both the heater and the pump section to ensure proper temperature control within the coiled tubes.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a reusable smoke producing device for training purposes.
A further object of the invention is to provide a portable smoke producing device utilizing a tubular coil of varying electrical resistance and cross-sectional area for generating a smoke from a smoke producing liquid contained within said tubular coil.
Another object of the invention is to provide a smoke producing device capable of generating a volume of smoke at any location in a structure proximal an electrical outlet for testing and training personnel in emergency response measures.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the artisan by reference to the following detailed description when considered with the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c) illustrate the mechanical aspect of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a graphic pictorial of the interaction of the sections;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tubing sections;
FIG. 4 is a cutaway view showing the alignment of the tubing;
FIG. 5(a) illustrates a first alternative control circuit; and
FIG. 5(b) illustrates a second alternative control circuit.
With reference to FIG. 1(a), it should be clear that in smoke generators of the heater tube type, a smoke producing fluid is stored in some manner until such time as is desirable for the production of smoke. The heater tube is then elevated in temperature either directly through the application of an electric current or by conduction from a heat source. The fluid is forced through the heater tube by the application of force in the form of direct pressure or capillary action, wherein the fluid absorbs the heat thereof and is expelled through an orifice to create a "smoke".
FIG. 1(b) illustrates the "plumbing" of the instant invention. The electrically conductive tubing has a heater section 11 which has a relatively high resistance, therefore generating high I2 R heating. This energy is transferred to the smoke producing agent within the tube, resulting in vaporization of the smoke producing agent within heater section 11. The vaporized smoke producing agent is discharged from heater section 11 to form the smoke in the open atmosphere. Connected to heater section 11 is a storage section 12 which has a large cross-sectional area relative to heater section 11 and also has a very low electrical resistance, thus very little I2 R heating is generated in this area. In order to insure that the smoke agent stored in storage section 12 is transferred to heater section 11, a pump section 13 is provided which has a cross-sectional area intermediate heater and storage sections and an electrical resistance sufficient to generate enough I2 R heating to increase the pressure on the stored smoke agent in pump section 13 and storage section 12, thus urging the smoke producing agent toward heater section 11.
The electrical resistance of the three sections is determined from the relationship:
r is the resistance,
ρ is the resistivity of the material,
L is the length of the tubing, and
A is the end face area of the tubing.
FIG. 3 depicts a cross-sectional view of each of the sections of tubing, wherein: pump section 13 is 1/8" tubing having a wall thickness of 0.008" and a length of 21 feet; heater section 11 is 3/32" tubing having a wall thickness of 0.006" and a length of 31 feet; and storage section 12 is 1/4" tubing with a wall thickness of 0.015 and a length of 12 feet. With these dimensions there will be approximately fifty times the I2 R heating energy per unit volume of smoke producing agent available for transfer to the fluid in heater section 11 as in storage section 12, and about three times as much in heater section 11 as in pump section 13.
FIG. 2 illustrates the interaction of the various sections in the production of smoke for an ideal design for a smoke generator having an output lasting five to seven minutes. During T1, heater section 11 and pump section 13 begin heating as the electrical current passes through the coil, thereby increasing the pressure and temperature within the coil. At the end of T1 heater section 11 has reached the temperature necessary to vaporize the smoke producing agent and enough pressure has been generated to overcome the pressure relief disk 14, shown in FIG. 4, covering the orifice 15 and the smoke generator begins emitting "smoke" from the smoke producing agent within heater section 11. During T2 "smoke" is continually discharged from orifice 15 due to the vaporization of the smoke producing agent initially stored in heater section 11, and smoke producing agent from storage section 12 is forced into heater section 11 due to the increase in temperature and pressure in pump section 13. During T3, the "smoke" is produced from the smoke producing agent initially stored in section 12. During T4, the smoke produced by the fluid from pump section 13 is discharged, having been vaporized by either the pump section or the heater section.
With principle of operation understood, reference to FIG. 4 will illustrate the device in its complete form. Pump section 13 terminates in a threaded fitting 17 sealable by a threaded nut 18. Fitting 17 is held in a central aperture of a filler end plate 19 through which a current path is formed by electrically conductive bolts 21 which penetrate plate 19 and are operably connected to an AC line plug 22. Removably affixed to plate 19 is a filler end enclosure 24 which covers bolts 21 and fitting 17 and provides electrical and thermal insulation therefrom. Line plug 22 is connected to bolts 21 via an aperture in filler end enclosure 24. Plate 19 seals the filler end of a tubular housing 25 which extends the length of the tubing and encloses the same. An insulating sleeve 26 lines the inside of tubular housing 25 and separates said housing 25 from the tubing. A thermostat 28 is cooperatively mounted paraxially within the coiled tubing so as to monitor the temperature of heater section 11 near orifice 15. Thermostat 28 is electrically connected between heater section 11 and conductive bolts 21, and opens the electrical path therebetween when a pre-established temperature is established. The opposite end of the tubing, pump section 13, is electrically connected to conductive bolts 21 to complete the circuit path.
Orifice 15 is mounted in and extends through an orifice end plate 29 which serves to seal the orifice end of tubular housing 25. Pressure relief disk 14 closes orifice 15. Disk 14 may be a heat fusible disk or a pressure sensitive disk, and may be secured over orifice 15 by a retaining sleeve 33 held in place by a retaining sleeve cap 34. An orifice end enclosure 35 having an aperture 36 for the discharge of smoke from orifice 15 is detachably affixed to orifice end plate 29.
Alternatively, a more flexible control of pressure buildup in the pump coil may be achieved by the use of a control circuit as shown schematically in FIG. 5(a). FIG. 5(a) illustrates a separate pump control circuit utilizing pump coil 13 and an associated thermostat 41, said pump control circuit sharing a common return 43, located at storage section 12, with a heater control circuit utilizing heater section 11 and thermostat 28. Independent control over the pump and heater sections allows power to be generated in pump section 13 to match the power dissipation in heater section 11, thus immediately raising the pressure in pump section 13 to insure that the smoke agent in storage section 12 is forced into heater section 11. Furthermore, thermostat 28 would be adjusted to an appropriate temperature setting to provide the quality of smoke desired and thermostat 41 would be adjusted to control the desired pressure and flow-rate, thereby providing some measure of adjustment to the duration of the smoke output.
Yet another alternative employs a controller such as the AD7 controller manufactured by Fluid Kinetics, Inc., which is of the type shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,086,466 and 3,524,968. Controller 44 utilizes the resistivity of the coiled tubing as a function of temperature in order to control the current flow through the entire coil. The device replaces thermostat 28 in the first embodiment described hereinabove, and could replace both thermostats 28 and 41 in the first alternative embodiment described. As shown schematically in FIG. 5(b), controller 44 is preferably mounted remotely from the smoke generator itself, for example, at the plug of line plug 22. It should be noted that since controller 44 works on the basis of the change in resistance as a factor of temperature, the selection of metals used in the tubing is reduced. For example, the dimensions given for the tubing section illustrated in FIG. 3 were for tubing made of a nickel alloy called C-276, a product of the Superior Tube Company of Norristown, Pa. This alloy allows the smoke generator to be manufactured in a much more compact package than stainless steel; however, it is not suitable for use with the AD7 because of a low variation of resistivity as a function of temperature, therefore stainless steel would be used with the AD7 and thus require a slightly larger packaging.
With the tubing configuration as given herein, a smoke can be produced for up to five to seven minutes if the heater section 11 is 3/32" in diameter and 31' in length, the storage section 12 is 1/4" in diameter and 12' in length, and pump section 13 is 1/8" in diameter and 21' in length. Devices for generating smoke for a longer period of time may be constructed using the controls of the first described embodiment or the second alternative thereto and substituting for pump section 13 and storage section 12 with a reservoir 50 and a mechanical means 51 such as a spring or air pressure as shown in FIG. 1(c).
It is to be understood that the preceding description is given by way of illustration and is not intended to limit the invention, which may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein within the scope of the appended claims.

Just for the hype of my country, the UK and china have made a deal to send british robots to space aboard chinese shuttles.
This makes me mad. Why the fuck did the stop the space shuttle program? Now China is going to get ahead. Way to go US Government!
I think that China's efforts are to be commended and I hope that they continue to advance their space program. They want a man on the moon by 2020, and I believe they can accomplish that. It will also give the American government a good incentive to try to expand our frontier in space.
That's nice.
Yes congratulations china! There hasn't been a rover on the moon since 1974! We havnt forgot about you moon!

its was roughly 450 million a mission but the point remains I also doubt the SLS and orion will ever fly either as both are grossly over budget and mismanaged also the fact that the sls is expected cost 300 million + per mission also i think the days of NASA human space flight are over and in way that may be for the best as probes, satellites, rovers and space telescopes are usually a better value for the price
I'm interested to see how much (if any at all) this pushes American/British/Japanese/Swiss/other governments to fund space exploration, specifically in the Alcubierre drive department, relating to the Higgs field and stuff. Even 10%c is still a crazy speed.
As much as I shudder to think of it, corporations might have an upper hand in America. NASA gave us so many incredible inventions, from suits for firemen androbotic arms to simple things like LED lights and modern smoke detectors. (While some will point out that NASA didn't invent them, they were the ones who encountered the necessity for such an item, and funded the development of such technologies, which were later applied to other areas.) Yet, the budget for NASA keeps getting slashed in favor of retaining a massive military budget. (A bit of perspective, the US military receives a total of $550 billion in funding, as of this year's fiscal plan. NASA gets $17.3 million, in comparison.
Gee, I wonder how NASA doesn't get anything done with the amount of money it has.
Wow, I got sidetracked. Anyways. I'm really hopeful for future space travel. Really hopeful. The challenges are there, but people fail to see that every one of these challenges will directly aid the public, should we surpass them.

I admit that I misread the budget, you're correct in stating that NASA's budget is roughly $17.3 billion. While your point is valid that they were once one and the same, the budgets now are completely different and not shared. They no longer have the money or the capabilities/authority (as you pointed out) to run their contractors through the test of the free market. This is a severe blow and pretty much a monopolization, keeping prices up when they should be going down. This would have allowed NASA to use their funding as they pleased, and would have dramatically decreased the cost of a space mission.
But now, that can't happen. NASA's been set up to fail, so we may have to rely on foreign countries or corporations to send things into orbit. And if you think that others won't try to tap the vast riches of ore and rare compounds, you're sorely mistaken. We'll be the ones missing out.
Credit to HikaruIzumi for the awesome avatar!
The budgets were never shared actually but the did use military contractors all the time back in the day .
Have you seen the documentary series MOON MACHINES as it tells how they designed everything for the Apollo missions
and stuff like spaceX would always be cheaper than nasa in that department of going into earth orbit but going to deep space or the moon that could be a different story if nasa opened up the bidding on certain stuff like the SLS and orion

Dynamics of Monetary Policy Uncertainty and the Impact on the Macroeconomy
AbstractA large literature lauds the benefits of central bank transparency and credibility, but when a central bank like the U.S. Federal Reserve has a dual mandate, is not specific to the extent it targets employment versus price stability, and is not specific to the magnitude interest rates should change in response to these targets, market participants must depend largely on past data to form expectations about monetary policy. We suppose market participants estimate a Taylor-like regression equation to understand the conduct of monetary policy, which likely guides their short-run and long-run expectations. When the Federal Reserve's actions deviate from its historical targets for macroeconomic variables, an environment of greater uncertainty may be the result. We quantify this degree of uncertainty by measuring and aggregating recent deviations of the federal funds rate from econometric forecasts predicted by constant gain learning. We incorporate this measure of uncertainty into a VAR model with ARCH shocks to measure the effect monetary policy uncertainty has on inflation, output growth, unemployment, and the volatility of these variables. We find that a higher degree of uncertainty regarding monetary policy is associated with greater volatility of inflation and unemployment.

Contractor labeled as "crook" tries for comeback
|| Print |
|High Five
|Wednesday, August 26, 2009
Mike Purcell was a reputable general contractor - responsible for major construction in the Pearl District among others - until bankruptcy forced him to leave many projects hanging. Now he is taking steps to get back into the business.
"There are people who think he's an outright crook," says Rosemary Willis, who provided doors and frames for several Purcell jobs. "Let's put it this way: I would never do business with that man again."
Now Purcell—who denies any wrondoing—tells WW he's back, working as a project manager for EM Constructors, a limited liability company established by Purcell's wife and licensed last week by the state. After his $10.1 million in declared debt gets resolved in bankruptcy court, Purcell says he hopes to make an even bigger comeback—once again working as a general contractor.

. The Generalized Minimal Residual Method (GMRES) is one of the significant methods for solving linear algebraic systems with nonsymmetric matrices. It minimizes the norm of the residual on the linear variety determined by the initial residual and the n-th Krylov residual subspace and is therefore optimal, with respect to the size of the residual, in the class of Krylov subspace methods. One possible way of computing the GMRES approximations is based on constructing the orthonormal basis of the Krylov subspaces (Arnoldi basis) and then solving the transformed least squares problem. This paper studies the numerical stability of such formulations of GMRES. Our approach is based on the Arnoldi recurrence for the actually, i.e. in finite precision arithmetic, computed quantities. We consider the Householder (HHA), iterated modified GramSchmidt (IMGSA), and iterated classical Gram-Schmidt (ICGSA) implementations. Under the obvious assumption on the numerical nonsingularity of the system m...

UPDATE 1-Amazon sued over Kindle, claim alleges breakage
* Suit by Seattle man seeks class-action status
* Complaint cites Internet postings by unhappy consumers
* Amazon offers free replacement cover (Adds comment from Amazon)
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) has been sued by a user of its Kindle electronic reader who claims the device's cover, which is sold separately, can break the screen and make the device inoperable.
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, where Amazon is based, claims the covers designed and sold by Amazon to protect the device often end up cracking the Kindle screens due to pressure on the hinge.
It seeks class-action status, which must be approved by a judge.
An Amazon spokesman said the Internet company does not comment on active litigation. But he added that the company encourages "anyone who has an issue with the cover attachment mechanism to return the cover and device for a free replacement so we can investigate further."
The plaintiff, Seattle resident Matthew Geise, seeks to represent all owners of a Kindle 2 or Kindle DX installed in a Kindle cover designed by Amazon. The Kindle 2 is the second version of the reader that first made its debut in 2007, while the DX is a larger version designed to better read newspapers.
The complaint quotes from an array of consumer complaint postings on the Internet that cite the hinge on the cover putting pressure on, and damaging, the screens.
According to the complaint, the Kindle that Geise purchased for his wife on Valentine's Day 2009 began to crack three months after purchase.
"Mr. Geise understood that the Kindle Cover he purchased for the Kindle was, in fact, compatible with the Kindle and would not damage the Kindle as a result of ordinary use. Amazon never disclosed to Plaintiff that using the Kindle Cover with the Kindle would damage the Kindle," according to the complaint.
The plaintiff alleges that a customer service supervisor at Amazon acknowledged that such cracking was a "common problem" but would not be covered by a warranty. Geise was instructed to pay $200 for a replacement Kindle, the complaint says.
"Because of the relatively small size of the typical damages, and the modest resources of most consumers, it is unlikely that most Class Members could afford to seek recovery against Amazon on their own. A class action is therefore the only viable, economical and rational means for members of the Class to recover from Amazon for the damages it has caused," wrote the complaint.
The lawsuit seeks replacement and funds to repair the broken Kindles as well as additional damages.
The online retailer has made a splash in the early days of digital e-readers with its Kindle. The device -- which comes in two sizes with slightly different functionality -- allows users to download books, magazines and newspapers.
Amazon does not disclose Kindle sales figures.
Whereas the Kindle has proved popular with travelers and avid readers who don't want to carry around a lot of heavy books, its price point of $299 for the Kindle and $489 for the Kindle DX still keep it out of the reach of many.

The Los Angeles City Council has voted to ban electronic cigarettes in some areas of the city. The unanimous vote made Tuesday changes city code to include e-cigarette use in the definition of "smoking."
That means using e-cigarettes will be banned from areas of the city where tobacco smoking is prohibited, including bars and restaurants.
There is an exemption for vaping lounges, similar to the cigar lounge exemption already in place for the city.
Health officials say vapors exhaled by e-cigarette users could contain potentially toxic chemicals.
