Patented Jan. 10, 1939 i 'rr onuc'liononfotnms FROM GASEO 1 .H D DC RBQE Hans 'Klein Mannh'eim, German i Farbenindustrie Aktieng" ellschafnx l r ankfort-on-the Main, Germany;
no sawing; "A plication iriiir'yj 1935 lgnor to 3 1 l w n-Jar 1 51 1 3 L a'olai s. (or. 260-170) The present invention reI'at es 'We Production of olefines fromgaseoushydrocarbons; j f
The conversion of saturat'e'd gaseous hydrocan e i ti u hos j e ni s m re an 5 one carbonat'om'inthe molecule; into ole'iines',,a'
for example of propane into propylene and ethyl one; is a'strongly endothermic reaction. When carrying out the reaction, especially in large reaction chambers, there are therefore, diificulties 10 as regards heat, because the heat conductivity of the most suitable wall materials (glass, quartz or ceramic masses) is not sufiicient for a satisfactory v throughput. It has therefore previously been proposed to carry out the reaction in Cowper apparatus in which heating periods alternate with reaction periods in regular sequence. Working in this manner has the drawback that it is discontinuous.
I have now found that the said drawback is avoided by exposing the hydrocarbons, or gases containing the same, together with at least 10 per cent by volume (with reference to the hydrocarbons) of oxygen but less than is sufficient for the complete conversion of the hydrocarbons into ox- 26 des of carbon and steam, to elevated temperatures at subatmospherie pressure. It is preferable to add to the hydrocarbons from 10 to 45 per cent by volume of oxygen with reference to the hydrocarbons. Depending on the amount of added oxy- 30 gen, it is possible to counteract the heat consumption of the formation of olefines wholly or partly by the exothermic reaction with oxygen. The oxygen content in relation to the pressure in the reaction chamber should be such that the gas mixture remains with certainty outside the explosion limits. When carrying out the reaction on a large scale it is preferable to reduce the pressure to such an extent that the gas mixture entering the reaction chamber is not explosive even if the oxygen content fluctuates. The reduced pressure employed may be varied within wide limits and may amount for example to from 0.05 to 0.5 atmosphere.
The temperatures maintained in the conversion according to the present invention usually range between 500 and 1000 C. and preferably between 750 and 950 C. Under otherwise the same conditions the temperatures at which the conversion of hydrocarbons having a lower number of carbon atoms in the molecule takes place at a certain speed of reaction are somewhat higher than the temperatures at which the conversion of higher molecular hydrocarbons proceeds with the same speed. 56 The saturated gaseous hydrocarbons may be employed in the pure state or in admixture with eaeh'-other-.'oriwith other gases,'such as nitrogen or hydrogen; Similarly ya'pors, as: for example water'vapor;= ma;y also beadded; Instead of pure oxygenfgasescontaining oxygen or supplying the. same' under theireaction' conditions, vas .for. ex-:- ample N052; mayHbeemployed; These gases con sisting of-or: containing oxygen. or supplying the same under the reaction conditions are hereinafter collectively referred to as gases comprising essentially free oxygen. The smaller the oxygen content of these gases, however, the greater must be the output efficiency of thevacuum pump; too great a dilution of the oxygen is therefore undesirable.
Generally speaking, catalysts are not employed. In order better to equalize the temperature, however, the reaction chamber may be provided with fillers. When suitable materials are selected for the walls and the filler, deposition of carbon in the reaction zone only takes place in such small amounts that the apparatus can be operated for months without trouble.
The process may be carried out for example as follows:
The reaction chamber, which is preferably tubular and provided with a heating and cooling jacket, is connected on one side to a vacuum pump which constantly maintains the desired reduced pressure. On the other side is the inlet for the gases to be treated; this is preferably provided with a throttle valve capable of fine adjustment. Before commencing operation, the reaction chamber is brought to the necessary temperature and the vacuum pump set in operation. The mixture of hydrocarbon and oxygen is then allowed to flow in and the temperature is regulated, if necessary with the aid or" the cooling jacket. A final gas having a high content of oleiines is obtained on the pressure side of the vacuum pump.
No ignition at any part of the reaction space and no formation of a flame is produced in the operation according to the present invention. but the conversion of the initial hydrocarbons with the added oxygen takes place uniformly in the entire reaction space or in a large part thereof under the subatmospheric pressures employed.
The following examples will further illustrate the nature of this invention but the invention is not restricted to these examples.
Example 1 A mixture of 30.6 volumes of butane and 8 volumes of oxygen is led at 920 C. under a pres sure of 230 millimeters (mercury gauge) through a clay tube filled with pieces of quartz. The hourly throughput per volume of reaction chamber is 1100 volumes of the said gas mixture calculated at room temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. 5 The gas mixture leaving the reaction chamber increases in volume to 2450 volumes'and contains 44.2 per cent by volume of olennes. The butane employed is derived from waste gases from the destructive hydrogenation of coal and has an olenne content or 0.6 per cent.
Example 2 A mixture 0!. 30-volumes of butane and 12 volumes of oxygen is led at 920 C. under a pressure of 200 millimeters (mercury gauge) through the apparatus described in Example 1, the throughput being 1400 volumes per volume of reaction chamber per hour. 2660 volumes per hour 0! a gas having an oleflne content of 49.1 per cent are obtained.
Example 3 Industrial propane having an oleilne content of 6.8 per cent is mixed in the proportions of 14.1:4 with oxygen and treated at 860 C. under a pressure oi 200 millimeters (mercury gauge) in the apparatus described ir Example 1. With an hourly throughput of 1400 volumes per volume of reaction chamber, 156 volumes of gas containing 40.4 per cent oi olennes are obtained Iran each 100 volumes of initial gas.
Ethane may also be treated with a result similar to that obtained in the case of propane.
What I claim is:
1- A. process for the production oi oleilnes irom saturated gaseous hydrocarbons containing more than one carbon atom in the molecule which comprises heating such hydrocarbon to a temperature between 750 and 950 C. under a subatmospheric pressure together with a gas comprising essentially free oxygen employed in such an amount that at least 10 per cent by volume, with re!- erence to the said hydrocarbon, of tree oxygen are present, but less than is suillcient for the complete conversion oi the said hydrocarbon and while avoiding ignition and flame iormation in any part of the reaction space.
2. In the process as claimed in claim 1 adding a gas comprising essentially free oxygen in such an amount that between 10 and 45 per cent by volume, with reference to the initial hydrocarbon, oi free oxygen are present.
3. In the process as claimed in claim 1 operating under a pressure ranging between 0.05 and 0.5 atmosphere.

ANCHORAGE — An Alaska Native corporation is thinking of filing a lawsuit against the city of Anchorage in response to a dispute over revenues from the sale of methane gas.
Eklutna Inc. CEO Curtis McQueen said his corporation is entitled to half the revenue from a new city system that collects methane from the Anchorage regional landfill near Eagle River. The city could owe the company as much as $24 million in projected revenues, McQueen said.
Eklutna is Anchorage's largest land owner.
KODIAK — Bedbugs have returned to Alaska, and they are a growing problem in Kodiak, along with other parts of the state.
Robert "B.J." Johnson, Kodiak Island's only licensed pest control expert, said bedbugs started showing up locally about five years ago.
Until this year, he had one or two cases annually. This summer alone, he's dealt with about eight bedbug jobs in town. All have been in homes, he told the Kodiak Daily Mirror.
"I've had no issues with the hotels in town, which is a real confidence builder," Johnson said.
FAIRBANKS — The world's boreal forests, which stretch from interior Alaska to the Atlantic Ocean and span regions of Russia and Scandinavia, are burning at a rate considered historically unprecedented, according to a new study of the Yukon Flats region.
Researchers concluded fire rates would likely continue to grow in the future, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
The study was published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences.
HOMER — The city of Homer is threatening to sue Grant Aviation for back rent after the company pulled out of the city earlier this year.
The company was four or five months behind on rent when it left in February and owed the city about $20,000, city manager Walt Wrede told KBBI.
"We thought that things were going well for them here," he said. "We found out about them leaving through the newspaper. They didn't contact us ahead of time to let us know."
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — President Barack Obama and the U.S. Department of Energy are committed to a role for coal in a national energy strategy, and they've backed it up with research spending, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Monday.
In a visit to the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Morgantown — the only one of the federal government's 17 national labs dedicated to fossil fuels — Moniz said the administration has spent $6 billion on clean-coal technology with an emphasis on the capture, storage and reuse of carbon emissions.
JUNEAU — A former state lawmaker who pleaded guilty to a federal corruption charge in 2011 is running for Wasilla City Council.
Wasilla City Clerk Kristie Smithers confirmed Monday that Vic Kohring is eligible to run for the seat currently held by Brandon Wall in the Oct. 1 election. Smithers' office said to be eligible, a candidate must be registered to vote and must have been a community resident for the past year. Smithers said Kohring meets those requirements.
A petition to put Senate Bill 21 on the 2014 primary ballot has received enough signatures, according to the Division of Elections.
Volunteer petitioners gathered more than 51,000 signatures. Of those, 31,673 signatures have been counted as qualified; 30,169 signatures were needed. Those signatures had to come from at least 7 percent of voters in 30 of Alaska's House districts; so far, 34 of 40 districts exceeded that requirement.
KENAI — One way to quantify the hoards of dipnetters working the beach is the number of hotdogs given out by a group of volunteers working the local salmon mission.
"We're way over this year," said Brenda Crim, creator and organizer of Salmon Frenzy, a dipnet beach mission run through Alaska Missions and Retreats.
Crim, of Anchorage, said her group was on track to hand out 22,000 hotdogs by the close of last week when the last group of mission volunteers cycles through and the numbers of returning reds dwindle.
HOMER — Sharon Bond's son, 14-year-old Trevor, has a close connection to the vessels of the Alaska Marine Highway System. Especially the M/V Tustumena, the ship that links the family's home in Seldovia to the rest of the world.
"Sometimes children with autism need a focus on something. His is on the ferry system," said Bond, whose son is on hand every time the ship ties up at the dock.
The crew has taken Trevor, who has a collection of Tustumena memorabilia, under its wing, given him tours of the ship and "if he's not there, they ask where he is," said Bond.
KETCHIKAN — A recall effort against seven of eight Ketchikan Indian Council members has failed to gain enough signatures.
The number of collected signatures didn't meet several thresholds, according to council president Irene Dundas.
The Ketchikan Indian Community group, which spurred the recall effort, alleged the seven tribal members violated the tribe's constitution when they voted in late May to temporarily appoint Dundas to act as CEO, a position she held briefly.

Last Thursday we had a break in the cold, icky, and overcast days here in Bluffton. It was a sunny yet breezy day so a playground was in order for Riley to get his sillies out. Downtown has a nice little area in the middle of the grid that they recently upgraded. There is a grassy area for pets with a sidewalk that encircles it. Dotting the sidewalk are wooden bench swings. On the other side of the field is the small playground built for the toddler size, with only a small slide and a climbing bar. Good enough for Riley because we can bring a ball and kick it around when he's bored with the playground.
We had the place to ourselves until a little girl and her grandparents showed up. She must have been just a bit older than 3. Of course I am praying the whole time that he behaves himself. Riley can be, well, forceful at times. For the longest time, he believed patting someone on the back to say "hi" was an actual smack. Other parents don't like that. To my surprise they were getting along famously. No fighting, screaming, kicking, or biting. It's like they have been best friends forever. I was just about to get her number and set them up on future play dates.
But then as they were both climbing the bar, she slipped and hit her mouth on it. It was not a major accident, probably scared her more than hurt her. But she went crying off to her Grandma for comfort, of course. Riley immediately became concerned for her. He ran up to them but stayed his distance. I then had a disturbing thought; would Riley think she needs a kiss to make her boo boo feel better?
(Ever since he started to understand, we would kiss Riley's boo boo's to make them "feel better". I'm sure you have done the same with your kids. Riley now does the same for mine and his dad's boo boos.)
Naw, Riley would just go back to playing once she did. He'd forget all about her boo boo. Wouldn't he? Yeah, he'll grab the ball instead of going back on the playground. Yep, no more boo boo. Oh please don't kiss her boo boo!
They stop in front of the playground steps. They turn to face each other.
He kissed her!
On the lips!
Holy smokes, did that really just happen? Did I really just see that? I hadn't been sitting out in the sun long enough to see visions, so he must have really kissed her.
My baby had his first kiss!
Oh my goodness, my baby had his first kiss. He's only 3 years old. What was he thinking? He doesn't know this girl from Eve and he kisses her? Who taught this boy to be so loose with his lips? Daddy, that's who! Daddy's always kissing Mommy, so of course he's going to emulate that. But then there's Mommy who's always watching romantic old movies where the love-struck always kiss passionately.
No, it's none of that. But it is our fault. We have always relied on God's Love to heal Riley's pain. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (I John 4:18). Our love is an extension of God's Love which Riley can relate to as a child. He comes to us immediately now because he knows that one kiss makes everything INSTANTLY better. All his ills disappear as quickly as they came. I only wish he would keep that mindset for the rest of his life!
I smiled when I realized that Riley was expressing his love the best way he knew how – by a kiss on a boo boo. I am so very proud of him for showing his love to help someone in pain. He didn't see a kiss on the lips as we adults do. A child's innocence is a most beautiful thing. If only we could learn from them! But then again, who wouldn't want to kiss this handsome boy?
And I also have a very embarrassing story to tell his future wife! Score one for Mommy!

In a packaging means for packaging together a light source or detecting means, a lens, and an optical fiber there is provided a sleeve for holding the light source/detector at one end of the sleeve and the lens at the other end to form a lens package. To hold the lens package there is provided a housing having first and second cavities opening onto each other and separated by shoulder means. The optical fiber is positioned in the first cavity with its end just short of the shoulder means. The lens package is retained in the second cavity with the lens abutted against said shoulder means with its focal axis aligned with the axis of the optical fiber and further with the tolerance error of the distance between said lens and the end of the optical fiber being determined largely by the variations in radius of said lens and variations in the position of the end of the optical fiber. The lens package can be retained in the second cavity by a matrix of flexible plastic partitions extending into the second cavity from the shoulder means in a box-like configuration which frictionally grips the lens package in an aligned position with the optical fiber.
1. In an assembly for coupling a photoelectric element and an optical fiber, the improvement comprising:
a single piece coupling body of molded insulation material having a first cavity concentrically receiving a first subassembly of a radially resilient ferrule secured concentrically over an end portion of an optical fiber,
said body including a second cavity opening into said first cavity and receiving a second subassembly of a photoelectric element and a lens,
said second cavity containing a plurality of partitions integrally molded with said body and constructed for frictional encirclement of said second subassembly, and
said body having a rigid section encircling said partitions and constructed to define a clearance receiving flexure of said partitions toward and away from said rigid section.
2. The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein, said body includes a mounting flange integral with said rigid section.
3. The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein, said body includes an integral shoulder in said second cavity and engaged by said lens for locating said second subassembly.
This invention relates generally to a structure for packaging together a light generating or detecting device, a lens and an optical fiber and more particularly to a packaging arrangement wherein light loss occurring between the lens and the optical fiber, which ordinarily is caused by an accumulation of dimension tolerances, is substantially reduced.
There are means in the art for packaging together a light device, such as an LED light source, a lens, and an optical fiber so that the light from the LED is focused through the lens onto the optical fiber or, alternatively, the light from the optical fiber is focused through the lens onto a light sensitive device. Such prior art packaging means involves the securing of the light device upon a header and then securing the header in a flange at one end of a metal sleeve with the lens being secured at the other end of the metal sleeve to form a lens package. This lens package is then secured in a first cavity in a plastic housing which also has a second cavity for retaining and securing the optical fiber.
The end of the optical fiber preferably is placed as close to the lens as possible and along the focal axis thereof so that efficient transmission of light between the lens and the optical fiber can occur. In such prior art structure, however, the position of the lens with respect to the fiber is determined by the length of the sleeve and the header dimensions since the header is secured in the flange formed at the first end of the sleeve. More specifically, the flange is secured in the plastic housing so that all tolerance errors between the flange and the end of the lens are cumulative. Such tolerance errors include not only the sleeve and header dimensions but also the shape and size of the lens. Such total cumulative error can be substantial and amount to a loss of as much as 4.0 or 4.5 decibels in the transmission of light between lens and fiber.
It is a primary object of the invention to provide a packaging arrangement wherein the amount of tolerance between a lens and an end of an optical fiber is minimized.
It is a further object of the invention to minimize the tolerance error between a lens and an optical fiber by positioning the lens surface in an abutting position against shoulder means formed in a plastic housing between a cavity containing the end of the optical fiber and a cavity containing the lens so that the tolerance error between the lens and the optical fiber is determined solely by the radius of the lens and the position of the optical fiber in the housing.
It is a further object of the invention to provide support for a sleeve of a lens package within a housing by means of a matrix of flexible plastic partitions formed into a box-like structure into which the lens package is inserted and flexibly retained with a minimum of resultant axial misalignment of the lens package.
It is a fourth purpose of the invention to improve generally means for packaging together an optical device, a lens and an optical fiber.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention there is provided a means for packaging together a light sensitive device, which can be either a source or a detector, a lens and a terminated optical fiber to produce a closely controlled spacing between the lens and the end of the optical fiber and also to closely control the axial alignment of the optical fiber with the focal axis of the lens to enable efficient transfer of light between the lens and the end of the optical fiber. A lens package comprises a tubular sleeve having the lens mounted at one end thereof and the light device at the other. There is further provided a housing with first and second cavities formed therein opening onto each other and separated by shoulder means. A plurality of flexible, plastic partition-like members extend upwardly from said shoulder means into the first cavity to form a box-like enclosure into which the lens package is inserted and retained. The second cavity receives and retains the terminated end of the optical fiber with said terminated end having a given position with respect to said shoulder means. The lens package is positioned within said box-like enclosure with the lens abutting against said shoulder means to limit the tolerance of dimensional error between the lens and the end of the optical fiber to variations in the radius of the lens and the position of the fiber in the said first housing cavity.
The above and other objects and features of the invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description thereof when read in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section view of the prior art structure;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal section view of a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the structure of FIG. 2 with the portions thereof broken away;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the plastic housing of the structure of FIGS. 2 and 3 showing in particular the configuration of the plastic partitions in the housing which form the box-like structure to hold the lens package;
FIG. 5 is a longitudinal section view of the lens package;
FIG. 6 is a top view of the structure of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of another form of the invention showing a different support housing configuration to support the lens package herein; and
FIG. 8 is a further plan view showing still another form of the housing for retaining the lens package therein.
Referring now to the prior art structure of FIG. 1 a lens package assembly 10 is comprised of a metal sleeve 25 having a flanged end 11 formed at one end thereof. Mounted on the flanged end 11 is a header 12 upon which in turn is mounted a light detector or a light source 13. For purposes of the discussion in this specification, assume that the element 13 and corresponding elements in other figures is a light source such as an LED although it could also be a light detector. A pair of input leads 14 and 15 supply power to the LED 13 with the conductor 15 being connected to one terminal of the LED through a connecting wire 16 and the other terminal 14 being directly connected to the LED 13.
At the other end of the lens package 10 a lens 20 is mounted which focuses the light from the LED 13 therethrough and onto the end 21 of an optical fiber 22. Said optical fiber 22 is retained in a ferrule 23 which has a pair of shoulders 24 formed thereon which bear against mating shoulders 28 formed in the housing 26. The housing 26 retains both the lens package assembly 10 and the ferrule 23.
The position of the shoulders 24 and 28 on the ferrule 23 and the housing 26, respectively, is such that the end 21 of the optical fiber 22 is positioned as shown in FIG. 1 substantially flush with the surface 27 within the housing 26.
It can also be seen that the shoulder 30 of the flanged end 11 abuts against a mating shoulder 31 on the housing 26 to thereby determine the relative positions of the lens package 10 and the lens 20 with the end 21 of the optical fiber 22.
However, problems exist with the prior art structure of FIG. 1 in that the tolerances are cumulative and can produce a substantial error in the resultant distance between the center 32 of the convex surface of lens 20 and the end 21 of the optical fiber 22. Such variations in the distance between the points 32 and 21 can result in losses as high as 4.5 decibels in the transmission of light between the lens 20 and the end 21 of the optical fiber 22.
Specifically, the accumulation of tolerances arise in the following manner. Firstly, the distance between the shoulders 31 and 28 of the main housing 26 can vary over several thousandths of an inch. Secondly, the actual length of the sleeve 25 of the lens package 10 can vary up to ten or more thousandths of an inch. Thirdly, the radius of the lens 20 can vary so that the position of the center 32 thereof can vary over a distance of up to seven thousandths of an inch. The overall result of the accumulation of the foregoing tolerances, mentioned above can be of a magnitude that the light loss can be of the order of 4.0-4.5 decibels.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 it can be seen that the lens package 40 is retained within the four resilient plastic partitions 41, 42, 43 and 44. In FIG. 2 it can be seen that the plastic partitions 41 and 42 are integral with the housing 45 and extend upwardly from the bottom surface 46 thereof.
The lens package 40, with leads 38 and 39, is inserted into the box-like structure formed by partitions 41-44 until the lens 47 abuts against the edges 48 of the cavity 49 which retains the plastic ferrule 50 therein. Within the plastic ferrule 50 is contained the optical fiber 51 the end portion 52 of which is positioned just adjacent the center 53 of the convex surface 54 of the lens 47.
FIG. 4 clearly shows the box-like structure formed by the four flexible partitions 41 through 44 and also shows mounting holes 37 to enable mounting of the structure to a supporting panel (not shown).
As mentioned above the lens 47 is positioned against the edges 48 of the cavity 49 containing ferrule 50 so that the distance between the center 53 of the lens 47 and the end 52 of the optical fiber 51 is determined solely by the radius of the lens 47 and the position of the ferrule 50 in the cavity 49.
It is found that it is possible to position the end 52 of the optical fiber 51 from the shoulders 55 and 56 between the ferrule 50 and the housing 45 within one or two thousandths of an inch so that the total tolerance error is due primarily to the radius of the lens 47.
Summarizing the foregoing by use of the distances W, X, Y and Z indicated in FIG. 2 the distance Z can be maintained within one or two thousandths of an inch. The distance Y, which is a distance between the surface 54 of the lens and the end 52 of the optical fiber 51 can also be maintained within six or seven thousands of an inch. The variation in the distance W, i.e. the distance between the shoulders 56 and the shoulders 46 of the housing 45 can be maintained within one thousandths of an inch.
Thus, the total tolerance error between the surface 53 of the lens 47 and the end 52 of the fiber 50 ranges from zero to about ten thousandths of an inch, which is a marked improvement over prior art structures.
FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the structure of FIG. 2 with corresponding parts being identified by similar reference characters. The threaded portion 36 is for receiving a collar (not shown) to secure the ferrule 50 onto the housing 45.
Referring now to FIG. 5 there is shown a sectional view of the lens package 40 wherein it can be clearly seen that the lens 47 is formed as a part of the sleeve 62. The light source 60 is mounted on a header 61 which in turn is mounted on flange 59 of the sleeve 62.
FIG. 6 shows a top view of FIG. 5
Referring now to FIGS. 7 and 8 there are shown alternate views or modifications of the invention. In FIG. 8, for example, the lens package 70 is held within the four walls 71, 72, 73 and 74 formed in the plastic housing 64. The cavities 75 and 76 enable the walls 71-74 to flex outwardly from the lens package 70 and into the cavity 75 and 76.
In FIG. 8 there is shown another embodiment of the invention in which the lens package 80 is secured within the surfaces 81, 82, 83 and 84. Whereas the arrangements shown in FIGS. 2 through 7 provide for resilient walls to hold the lens package, the structure of FIG. 8 employs compressive walls. More specifically, the insertion of the lens package 80 into the cavity formed by the walls 81-84 produces a compressive force onto the plastic material behind the surfaces 81-84 with some giving of the material into the cavities 85, 86, 87 and 88. The lens package is retained in the structure of FIG. 8 by virtue of said compressive force.
It is to be understood that the forms of the invention shown and described herein are but preferred embodiments thereof and that various changes can be made in proportions and configurations of the various elements without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

Mormon bishop with Samurai sword runs off attacker
By BRADY McCOMBS
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Samurai sword-wielding Mormon bishop came to the aid of a woman who was being attacked in front of his house.
The 47-year-old Kent Hendrix woke up Tuesday to his teenage son pounding on his bedroom door and telling him somebody was being mugged. Hendrix grabbed a 29-inch Samurai sword and rushed out the door.
Hendrix says the man attacking a woman jumped back and ran down the street after he drew the sword. He and others chased the man until he jumped in his car and drove away.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal says the suspect, 37-year-old Grant Eggersten, turned himself in later in the day and was booked on multiple charges.
The victim, a 35-year-old woman, had minor injuries. She had a stalking injunction against the suspect.

In her new book Creative Enterprise: Contemporary Art between Museum and Marketplace, released last month by Continuum Press, the scholar Martha Buskirk cuts the crap, to use an appropriately unsavory term, and makes it almost impossible for the rest of us not to. Art and money, money and art -- these seemingly contrary functions are inextricably linked, she asserts, and have always been. Hardly a novel idea, though we still seem loathe to admit it.

Wearing a bright-red motorcycle jacket just wasn't eye-catching enough for the King of Pop. Jackson put the extra-zippered version on everyone's must-have list in the 1980's making it an iconic piece of American fashion.

Home » News » Politics » Town Meetings
Epping to consider big purchases tonight
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, Feb. 5) at the middle school gymnasium.
The library plan and the proposal to buy about 60 acres of land with five existing wells that could boost the town's water supply are expected to generate the most discussion as voters weigh the costs of the two projects.
Voters have defeated similar proposals to buy the land behind the Epping Crossing shopping center on Route 125 in the past. Selectmen and the budget committee are supporting the proposal this year as a way to accommodate the town's municipal water needs in the future.
The proposed land buy includes $2.3 million to purchase the land and an additional $200,000 to pay for engineering and a hydro report. It would be purchased through a 20-year bond, with half of each bond payment paid by water rates and unit fees. In addition, half of all water connection fees would also be put toward each bond payment.
Meanwhile, the plan to build a new library proposed by library trustees is not being recommended for approval by selectmen and the budget committee.
The 9,072-square-foot library would be built next to the existing Harvey-Mitchell Memorial Library at 151 Main St. As part of the plan, an old fire station would be torn down to make way for the new building while the old library would remain standing for possible town or school use.
Selectmen have opposed the plan this year because of the impact on taxpayers given other spending proposals on the warrant. They urged library trustees to hold off, but trustees decided to put the plan to voters this year.
Voters will also take up a $6.4 million proposed operating budget and a proposal to hire a school resource officer to work full-time in the elementary, middle and high schools. The officer's position would cost $35,570 this year and would be funded beginning July 1. The salary and benefits next year are estimated to cost $76,350.

Shaw, Bell, Toeaina were exclusive rights free agents Brad Biggs
The Chicago Bears knocked out some expected business today when they signed three players to one-year contracts.
Linebacker Tim Shaw, running back Kahlil Bell and defensive tackle Matt Toeaina were exclusive rights free agents. They got their business done in time for the beginning of the (voluntary) offseason conditioning program.
Shaw made eight tackles on special teams in the Bears' season finale at Detroit to give him a franchise record 30. It was a remarkable feat, especially considering he didn't join the roster until Week 2 as the player who replaced Brian Urlacher's spot on the roster.
Bell debuted as a rookie for the Bears on Nov. 23 in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field. He had a 72-yard run on his first carry. It was the longest run on a player's first carry since Baltimore's Alan Ameche had a 79-yard carry to begin his career in 1955. Bell, who was an undrafted free agent from UCLA, finished with 220 yards on 40 carries.
Toeaina has spent the last three seasons with the Bears but has rarely been called upon.

My photos aren't perfect and I didn't plan them to be, as I believe, in genealogy, it's more important to concentrate on what the stone has written on it, than about getting a pretty and perfectly centered photo. Most people aren't going to frame them for a wall, but will add them to a family tree program. I don't do my photos in this way to be disrespectful, just want people to be able to read what's on them, if at all possible.
I'm a cancer survivor and have scoliosis in my back, so I can walk fast, but not stay bent over long enough without pain, to take a perfectly centered and pretty photo of gravestones.
Alot of researchers want a photo, imperfections and all, to prove that a family member is in a certain cemetery and my goal was to do that for them.
Above all, I think it's most important to get photos of tombstones, even if not perfect, as to preserve the stones for family to find online, in case they are damaged in some way later and not readable at all.

There is a request on find-a-grave for a photo of Maria Janzen. While researching, I found where you took a picture of this marker at the Mennonville Cemetery located just north of El Reno on Hwy 81. I went to that cemetery but could not find the marker. Could you tell me if I am looking in the wrong place? Thank you so much for your help.

The roving band of pamperers at HVSpa knows a secret about beauty: it's not just a makeover's end result that matters, but the experience of the treatments, as well. That's why they bundle their mani-pedis, massages, and waxing services into spa packages specially curated for specific groups. They specialize in brightening up kids' Princess parties and grownups' girls' nights with beautifying, festive house calls.
Housed within an Aveda Concept Salon, Ritual Esthetics stands apart from its peers thanks to owner Melyssa Shoemaker and her years of rigorous training, which began at the Pebec School of Esthetics and continued during her apprenticeship as a nail technician at Gallery 295. Melyssa's extensive experience culminated in 2001, when she earned master nail technician status at Creative Nail Design Academy and soon afterward embarked on her own business in London's ultra-modern, multi-level Wabi Sabi Hair Artistry salon.
Today, Melyssa continues to perform waxing services and mani-pedis with the care and precision one might expect from a master. Tucked away in private pedicure rooms replete with black stone floors and colourful art, she whittles away at calluses as warm water swirls around toes, evoking nostalgia for childhood baths in tubs of chicken soup. Among shelves stocked with Aveda products sit bottles of OPI's gel nail polish, which cures faster than OPI's Axxium soak-off gel and can stay chip-free for weeks.
Take a look at Naila's Spa's menu, and you won't find anything too out of the ordinary. All of the usual suspects—manicures, massages, facials, and waxing—are there, along with a few specialty services such as Shellac mani-pedis and intricate nail art.
The spa itself, however, is anything but ordinary. Streaked in white and cerulean, the interior whisks clients away to a cloud-like landscape—an impression that's only strengthened by the pillowy pedicure chairs. It's a welcome relief from the bustle of downtown London, which is located only a few streets away.

In preparation for its 10-year review with its accrediting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Weatherford College officials are requesting feedback from residents in its service-area communities in Parker, Wise, Palo Pinto, Hood and Jack Counties. A survey asking for input identifying areas for student improvement is available on the College's Web site, and interested respondents are asked to complete the short but comprehensive survey to assess WC's success in meeting students' needs.
"We consider feedback from our friends in the community to be valuable in our efforts to move forward in a positive direction," said Dr. Arleen Atkins, dean of Institutional Effectiveness and facilitator of WC's SACS preparation team. "A major component of the College's reaffirmation of accreditation is the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The QEP is a campus-wide improvement plan dedicated to improving student learning. And we're asking our communities' assistance in identifying the area where our students could improve. This will help us identify the topic for our QEP."
The survey asks respondents to assess skill areas with regard to enhancing student success following graduation/completion from Weatherford College, such as reading, writing, listening and interpersonal skills, as well computer literacy and global and multicultural awareness.
Dr. Molly Harris, WC speech instructor and QEP coordinator, said that the QEP is an integral parts of the SACS reaffirmation process and will allow the College to select a topic and develop and implement a pilot program before the SACS visiting time come to WC in September 2011.
"We're really excited about the QEP process," said Harris. "This is an opportunity for us to provide resources to an area that will directly impact student success both in the classroom and beyond."
The QEP Community Survey is accessible at www.wc.edu/qep through July 15, 2010. All respondents will be entered into a drawing to win a free iPod.
