Special moment: Tom Hamilton watches son's first big-league AB
Monday was a special day for the Hamiltons.
Nick Hamilton, an Indians 2012 draft pick after helping lead the Kent State Golden Flashes to the College World Series that June, found himself in the lineup as the designated hitter on Monday as the Indians took on the Cincinnati Reds from Goodyear Ballpark. Originally, Nick Swisher was in the lineup as the DH, but when the Reds said pitchers should bat — Cincinnati was the home team — Indians Manager Terry Francona sent Swisher home.
When the DH was re-installed into the game, Hamilton got the call. And his dad, Indians radio play-by-play man Tom, was on hand for the incredible moment:
Said Nick Hamilton after the game: "It was really just a lot of fun. I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be able to get out there and get that first taste of playing in the big leagues. It was just a lot of fun and something I can learn from and build on from here.
"Eventually, looking back, I'm sure this is definitely something that I'm going to cherish."

Tribe Baseball Info director moonlights as BP pitcher
GOODYEAR, Ariz. – In his role as the Indians Director of Baseball Information, Bart Swain already has a pretty unique role.
He and our Assistant Director of Baseball Info, Court Berry-Tripp, travel with the team and serve as the direct liaisons between the players and the front office, media and fans.
But Swain has made the role even more unique: When called upon, he throws Batting Practice to the players, something he began in the 1996 season and that stuck after former Indians Hitting Coach Charlie Manuel saw him do it and apparently thought he was good enough to keep on.
"I've thrown BP since high school," the 44-year-old Elyria High grad said last week in Goodyear. "I played in high school, but I wasn't very good. This was a way to make myself useful."
Swain joined the Indians in 1992 and worked for two years as an intern in the Media Relations department. He moved into the Director role in 1995 and has been there since.
Players like to give Swain a hard time about his throwing, but it appears he's serviceable, at least, in the role. Tribe infielder Mike Aviles, for one, was glad Swain was around during last year's Tribe Fest; Aviles had just been traded to Cleveland and was in town and looking to hit.
"He said, 'I'll throw,'" said Aviles, who is with his third big-league team. "I said, 'I thought you were the PR guy.' He's the only PR guy I've been around who does it and it's pretty cool."
OK, but how does he throw?
"It's not that bad. It's actually pretty good," Aviles said. "He has his days. Sometimes he'll let loose a changeup and is in the ground… He gets his momentum back though."
Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall was equally back-handed when complimenting Swain.
"He's better than he was," Chisenhall said with a good-natured smile. "He throws a solid BP. He can get out of sync a little bit, and he's not in the upper echelon of BP throwers. But if you have to hit, he'll do."

Just bought the full pack of walking the dead, but after 4 tries I can't download the second episode, which is a bit frustrating since I bought the pack to find out what happens next.
I have a 12mbit/1mbit ADSL2+ connection, with nothing else running (except this), and my internet connection is steady. It really shouldn't have any issues.
How do I get this working?

For decades, Jenny Abeels was the only person visiting an American grave in Belgium.
"Oh, I loved those two guys, Mac and Jerry," Jenny said. "My mother [Clementine Abeels] did too, especially Jerry," who was a few years older than Mac and quite a bit more genteel. "Jerry used to call her Mama," Jenny recounted, "and he would say 'Mama, I am content here. I want to stay with you until the war is over.'"
That was the Secret Army's plan. Though the Belgian resistance had succeeded in spiriting hundreds of Allied servicemen safely out of Nazi-held territory, by the time Mac and Jerry came, the organization concluded the Allies were on their way and it would be safer to hide the men and wait for liberation.
The group spent a good deal of time in the attic. The trapeze swing which the airmen used to "practice their gymnastics" still hangs there, a lonely relic in a room now used for storage.
Jerry also spent a lot of time staring at a photo of his new bride, Nora Lee. The couple had only spent five days as a married couple before Jerry left for war.
The boys quickly became restless in the confines of the Abeels' home and yard, Jenny said, and wanted to walk in the city. Mac claimed they spoke French well enough to fly under the radar, which still makes Jenny laugh as she imitates their American-accented "Bonjour, Madame." But they stayed in, except for one quick tour of the nearby Basilica, which infuriated her father when he found out.
Arthur Abeels didn't want to push the family's luck — there was a certain fate for those found hiding enemies of the Third Reich. "We knew it," Jenny said. "We knew if we were caught, we would be killed." Other families who were sheltering servicemen had been arrested, she said, including one that had earlier hidden Jerry.
The Germans never did come to number 19. What did arrive in early August, however, was the third summons for Roger to turn himself in for German work camp. After that, the Secret Army spirited Roger and the Americans to the organization's headquarters in the village of St. Marcoult, about 30 miles southwest of Brussels.

Caught between the covers of a cursed story…
Ever since the extraordinary events of Inkspell, when the enchanted book Inkheart drew Meggie and her father, Mo, into its chapters, life in the Inkworld has been more tragic than magical. Dustfinger is dead, having sacrificed his life for his apprentice's, and now, under the rule of the evil Adderhead, the fairy-tale land is in bloody chaos, its characters far beyond the control of Fenoglio, their author. Facing the threat of eternal winter, Mo inks a dangerous deal with Death itself. There yet remains a faint hope of changing the cursed story–if only he can fill its pages fast enough.
Inkdeath–the captivating final tale in the Inkheart trilogy.

And speaking of endings...
I was intrigued by something Ohio University's athletic director said a couple of months ago in Parkersburg.
During the athletics department's "Bobcat Caravan", Jim Schaus noted that OU is one of just 17 "major sports institutions" that has never been hit with NCAA rules violations.
Do you think when he said that, he had in mind a larger institution in Columbus whose football coach just resigned?

I've seen a couple of topics in the community about books. There has been some great discussion and suggested reading in these posts, so I'd like to know more about how you read.
I switched to ebooks two years ago - currently on a Kindle Fire. The Kindle can't be beat for convenience but I have never been satisfied with the built in note-taking / highlighting system. I'm on the verge of switching back to print just so that I can take and organize notes in my old system.
Do you take notes in your e-reader, and, if so, what is your system?
I actually have never taken notes from a book :O For what purpose do you guys take notes?
By note taking, I mean highlighting important or interesting quotes/paragraphs.
For example I've shared the excepts of what I've highlighted in this community post.
I use kindle for reading and probably will never switch to paperback.
The biggest win for kindle against paperback is that it has built in dictionary. I usually find hard vocabulary while reading. So, it's easy to search it on built-in dictionary in kindle. You need to carry around an extra dictionary in case of paperbacks. It's just weighs too much.
As for note taking and highlighting, I make sure that I import all the highlights and notes once a week to my computer, so that I have access to all of them when I need to review.
Kindle is better than paperbacks in numerous ways. I just can't understand people who want to switch back to paperbacks after using kindle.
I think the people who pre-ordered for Haiti have had enough time to read the book, so now it's time to make it available to everyone.
You can buy the book here at Amazon!
In case you're new to the site, I haven't had a regular condo or house in 4 years or so, and have been traveling around the world and around the US. Life Nomadic a really practical guide about efficient traveling -- experiencing a LOT while spending relatively LITTLE. It has everything from travel stories I didn't publish on the blog to packing lists. If you broke it down, about 1/3 is life outlook sort of stuff, 1/3 is stories (maybe a bit less), and 1/3 is take-action-now howto advice. It will change how you travel, one way or another.
When I logged into Amazon.com this morning to look for a book I noticed that the basic Amazon Kindle e-reader was $55.00. That's it. I have a Kindle Keyboard and it cost about twice as much, but they might have been selling them by the ounce because it is heavier too.
I read about thirty books this year, but when I got my Kindle I wasn't sure how much I would use it. It turns out I read a lot on it, and just not always books. Here are 10 ways to use a Kindle
Those are ten great reasons to get started with a Kindle e-reader. If the inch-long crack in my device happens to extend itself today, then I'll be joining you in purchasing one.

Traders: Current Tape Under Pressure; Watch These 3 Companies
Quint Tatro
Focus on monster breaks that could lead to outsized gains if the market's health perks up anytime soon. Here, three names to consider.
As the major averages fight for footing, it feels as if we are on the brink of a substantial sell-off. While the summer of 2010 malaise turned some heads, we have yet to return to the scene of the 2007-08 crime and watch the proverbial other shoe fall. Whether the current tape is the one that catches many off guard or not remains to be seen, but I continue to prepare for the next leg higher.
To that end, I have started some small positions based on weekly chart reads. With leashes out near Pluto, I want to give these names plenty of breathing space while keeping my risk per trade in check. I will ignore the daily gyrations and focus on monster breaks that should lead to outsized gains if the market's health perks up anytime soon. Here are three names I am currently holding.

Rex Energy Corporation
(REXX) is an O&G play that finally had its net income for the fiscal year ending December 2010 back in the black. Now in its 18th month of a basing pattern, REXX looks poised to have shareholders profit. With a stop almost 25% below current prices (at $10.00), I am willing to let REXX meander sideways in anticipation of much larger gains on a break. The key for me will be the patience to hold REXX as it continues its sideways consolidation.
I am long at $12.65, and like that that the 50-week moving average is now turning ever so slightly up and could be the basis of some longer term support. Once REXX breaks above recent highs at $14.33, there is no reason that it cannot challenge 2008 highs which topped out near $30.00 per share. Clearly such a move will not happen overnight, so I will tuck away some shares and revisit REXX on a weekly basis to monitor its progress.

Lithia Motors
(LAD) is a network of auto dealerships franchises based in the US that sells both new and used autos as well maintenance on those vehicles. The 2007-08 crash was not kind to LAD, as it found its price decimated from $31.00 to $1.53 in less than a two-year time period. Since then, it has done a phenomenal job of repairing the damage, but not without some wide price swings in the interim.
Off its April 2009 lows, LAD raced ahead in almost parabolic fashion for five months giving the nimble trader and amazing return in such a short time. Just as swiftly however, LAD once again turned tail and lost 60% of its value in the next year. LAD is now back challenging those 2009 highs, and has two distinct levels of support playing in its favor at this juncture. Note on the chart that a lateral trendline tracing all the way back to January 2008 is coming into play at these levels. Additionally, albeit a bit steep, support can be drawn from the April 2009 lows converging at current levels as well.
I have taken a full position in LAD with a cost basis in the $17.40 range and a stop at $15.00. While I will give LAD some room to oscillate, the stop is in place to prevent participation in the downdraft similar to the last two. By calculating acceptable risk and adhering to the pre determined stop, in my opinion LAD offers a great risk reward at these levels. Now we just need to get a little bit of help from the sagging averages so they do not drag down even the best of breed names.

A third longer-term pattern that caught my eye is the one that has been fomenting in
JDS Uniphase
(JDSU). Yes, this tech bubble darling is still alive and kicking. While JDSU's price is nowhere near its Internet bubble days, it has indeed made an attractive chart the last four and a half years. The challenge at times can be finding a proper entry in a name once it starts out of the gate like a racehorse.
In late 2010, JDSU offered such a buy point as it bounced off of support at the 50-week multiple times and then raced to multi-year highs. In February of this year JDSU also had a daily gap higher that has since been filled. But the key technical feature that interests me is that JDSU has held above that $18.00 level ever since the breakout. My entry is a bit higher than current levels, but I have a stop below April 2010 lows at $17.80. If JDSU gives back this inflection low, I will lick my wounds and move on.
With the current tape under some serious pressure, it will more difficult for these weekly patterns to break to new highs. I have given them long enough leashes to compensate for a mild correction, reducing share count to keep risk per trade in line with my trading style. If my favorite weekly charts start to erode and stop me out, that will be a major signal to me that downside pressure has yet to relent and I will be moved back to cash. Until that time, I am banking on these names the weather the current storm in flying colors.

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Pinnacle Airlines in January 2014.Interview Details
Very professional. It was a one day process starting out with a company outline. Testing completed the morning session. Interviewing in the afternoon -that's if you pass the tests!
Three tests:
1.Cognitive - I personally didn't get anything out of luminosity but others may. Just READ and FOLLOW the instructions. Each section has a practice session before it to make sure you understand. Be good at doing several little activities at the same time (Just like you do on an instrument approach down to minimums)
2.Personality - Just put down what you feel.
3.Job knowledge - This is what you can prepare for. I had 12 days and that did not seem sufficient but I am the type that wants to answer every question correctly. You will only hear pass or fail results. Know aerodynamics, performance, turbine engines, and the rules of thumb. Know the AIM as well. Basically don't go memorize specific answers like you would the ATP written but have fundamental understanding and know how to apply it. Most the answers for me came from my college studies and but that was me.
4.Interview - 3 panel interview. My group was very relaxed and non-confrontational. Standard "what if" questions. Tended to drive to what they perceive your weak areas and how you would overcome if hired.
Overall; be serious, get plenty of rest the night before, and show your passion for aviation.
Even though it is a challenging process, it is well worth it. It is what you put into it.Interview Questions

The MWP, Teddy and I have been in Florida since Tuesday. The MWP is here to support an event for work and Teddy and I tagged along for fun. Whenever The MWP's role in the event is done, he can do whatever he wants. Yesterday, he had to work quite a bit, so Teddy and I were cooped up in the hotel for most of the day.
We decided to drive west and see the Gulf of Mexico and walk Teddy while we were there. We all piled into the car and drove, but the first beach we found closed at sunset. Undeterred, we drove further south and ended up here, which was also closed (by this time, it was 7:30 PM and the sun was long gone), but there was still some beach access along a causeway that led to the park. We unloaded Teddy, who started sniffing the air and getting excited as soon as we opened the car door.
Remember how I've called Teddy our 110-pound toddler? Just like a toddler, he can get overstimulated and melt down. We only walked for 20 minutes and the joy of the salty air, sand and all the smells was suddenly too much for him. He started running around in circles, whipped his head around suddenly and his collar flew off. Then he spun around and was gone, sprinting down the sidewalk.
There is a reason that a Great Pyrenees should never, ever be off a leash when they aren't in a fenced yard. A Great Pyrenees has a priority list and what you want him to do is not necessarily on that list. If Teddy doesn't want to come, I could be waving a steak and he wouldn't come. So we sprinted down the sidewalk after him, calling and calling and watching him pull further and further away from us. Dude is FAST and he was drunk on freedom.
I remember thinking "I can't lose another dog so soon" but as soon as it started, it was done. Teddy doubled back to greet another dog and we were able to grab him and get his collar back on. (I would have tackled him if I had to, but it didn't come to that.) We went immediately to the nearest open pet store and about a harness, just to keep him more secure until we can put another hole in his collar. Teddy's neck must be an odd size because the next smallest collar is too small.
Teddy was so wiped out from his 2-minute adventure that he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. I was so hysterical that he wouldn't come near me for the rest of the night and of course, I wasn't wearing sneakers when we chased him, so the foot that has the heel spur in it is screaming at me and I can hardly put any pressure on it.
I can't stop imagining how very, very bad it could have ended (I am a worst-case scenario person who is prone to obsessing) but everything is fine. I hope that the rest of our stay here is much less exciting!

Good grief! You about gave me a heart attack and I read your post at light speed with my heart pounding until I knew he was okay. Nothing panics me more than the extremely rare occasion when one of the cats gets out for a brief minute or two. Riley has a chip and all my future kitties will as well. If Gabby or Winnie has to go under anesthetic for any reason, they'll be getting one as well. Gah, I'll have the heebie jeebies the rest of the day now or at least until I have a glass of champagne tonight. Happy New Year!

Aging U.S. faces cancer care crisis
WASHINGTON — The U.S. is facing a crisis in how to deliver cancer care, as the baby boomers reach their tumor-prone years and doctors have a hard time keeping up with complex new treatments, government advisers reported Tuesday.
The caution comes even as scientists are learning more than ever about better ways to battle cancer, and developing innovative therapies to target tumors.

~~To ice the cake in royal, you should make sure and put a layer of marzipan on the cake first. Then, you can add a little corn syrup to the royal icing before you ice with it. It is not toxic because royal icing is used on 99% of the cakes in the Caribbean, England, and Australia."
I can only speak for Australia and question the accuracy of 99%?? Royal Icing is mostly used for fruit cakes , which used to be the traditional wedding cake. You had the layer of marzipan to make it smooth and then 2-3 layers of royal icing on top. It's not common practice anymore to cover a cake with royal icing, but it is still popular for piping.

Mmm... I love royal icing. I'd rather eat that than suarpaste! (fondant)
With practice, royal icing can be perfectly smooth!!! I'm not saying it's something I have done, but I know many cake makers who have!!
As has already been advised, you can add a tsp of glycerine per lb of royal icing to stop it setting has hard as concrete! And it's not normally used to cover a sponge cake, because there's too much 'give' in sponge which could lead to cracking of the icing. BUT, in saying that, I'm sure I've heard people HAVE done it... so if that's what takes your fancy, then why not try it?

With defense budgets being slashed around the world, the collapse of the BAE's $45B merger with EADS will put the focus on possible deals between tier-two firms such as Rockwell Collins (COL), L-3 Communications (LLL), SAIC (SAI) and Harris (HRS), industry execs and bankers tell Reuters. Much could depend on whether Congress averts the automatic defense cuts that are due from Jan 1.

European defense budgets may be cut, but not ours in the U.S..
The tea party won't agree to a tax hike. Unless there is a power shift the stalemate will continue. It doesn't matter which direction, but action requires compromise or that one party has the clout to force the issue The wide divergence in philosophy on strongly held viewpoints by some (in both parties) makes compromise unlikely.
IOM once the election is over both parties will posture for awhile and reach a compromise, they usually do. Remember the "Bush Tax Cuts" were renewed for two years by Obama shortly before they expired. If either party gets a majority in both houses, they will get some additional goodies that they want. If there is a chance of real reform, then there could be a one year extension and a promise of tax reform and budget reform...but don't hold your breath about that.
Nothing will happen with SAI until they complete their split into 2 companies. ITT Exelis (XLS) should be a tempting target as well. It is the former ITT Defense and is $5-6 billion in size.

Where do you find all 12 enemies? only found ten and 2 snakes that we can not kill.
Answer from: cattygirl09
I say I don't where but once I defeated a snake
Answer from: aimee10
You actually can kill the snakes. wait for them to "strike" and use your attack to get at them. you have to play as a character with close range (Lagoona, Cleo, or Draculara) and you keep attacking until the snake's vase breaks.
Answer from: DominoCrescentG
It may end up very time consuming, but I personally press and hold 'B' and wait until it shatters.

Pernix Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Financial Results
Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. ("Pernix" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PTX), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
Financial Results
For the fourth quarter of 2012, net revenues were $18.2 million, compared to $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Total net product revenues consisted of 53% revenue contribution from branded products and 47% revenue contribution from generic products in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was approximately $(1.4) million, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011."This past year was a time for investing and building in Pernix's continued success," said Cooper Collins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pernix. "Looking forward in 2013, we are focused on several key objectives that are expected to drive the Company's future growth, which include the following: integrating Cypress and Hawthorn, re-launching Silenor by our newly-combined Pernix and Hawthorn sales forces, initiating our Phase III clinical trials for our pediatric product, launching Dr. Cocoa, an OTC chocolate flavored cough and cold product for the 2013-2014 cough and cold season, beginning the development of Silenor as an OTC product, and working toward the IND filings of two products in Hawthorn's pipeline. We are also capitalizing on the synergies of our acquisitions, and improving efficiencies across all of our operations." Adjusted Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure) was approximately $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and expenses associated with the acquisitions of Cypress Pharmaceuticals, Hawthorn Pharmaceuticals and Somaxon Pharmaceuticals. See the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. For the fourth quarter of 2012, acquisition-related expenses were $0.8 million. Stock compensation expense increased to $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to $0.6 million in the prior year quarter primarily related to a restricted stock issuance in March 2012. In total, these investments impacted adjusted EBITDA by approximately $1.7 million for the quarter.

The current creates extremely high heat at the contact points between particles. The ON-OFF DC pulse disperses the heat phenomena throughout the specimen, resulting in a rapid and thorough heat distribution, high homogeneity, and, in the end, consistent densities. (For additional details regarding the SPS process, read "Spark Plasma Sintering," Ceramic Industry, May 2008, pp. 24-26.)
The simplest approach to volume processing with SPS technology is batch processing, where two or more parts or "samples" are made during one cycle. In the case of flat shapes, samples can commonly be stacked within the die using die spacers. Parts can also be oriented in a circular fashion around a circular die, much like the hour markings on a clock. Combining the two-part orientations is also possible. The key is that both force and electrical density need to be applied evenly across all of the samples within the die.
Barriers to CommercializationSPS has been around since the early '90s, and SPS-like technology has been around for substantially longer. Though there have been attempts to apply SPS to a few commercial applications, the majority of interest in the method has come from R&D and academia. Several basic reasons are behind SPS technology's slow migration to commercial use.
First and foremost, the few attempts at commercial applications have been collaborations between SPS manufacturers and end users, and non-disclosure agreements have limited detailed discussions. This lack of discourse and the general "black box" view of SPS have resulted in a very slow migration from academic and R&D to commercial use.
Second, SPS requires a significant up-front investment in time and money. The operational variables include, but are not limited to, material properties, die design and material, heat ramp rates, hold temperatures and times, force strategies, vacuum and atmospheric conditions, power settings, and cooling conditions. Commonly, test samples require sophisticated analysis. This development is necessary to draw the most benefits from SPS technology, and these variables need to be examined thoroughly before a high-throughput strategy can be built around an application.
Third, an important SPS market is only now emerging. Though there are many benefits to SPS processing, one of the most important is its ability to process very fine particulate materials with minimal grain growth and minimal negative effect on microstructure. Due in part to SPS technology, many advanced super-fine particle materials are only now becoming available on a commercial level.
High-Throughput ApproachThe key to advancing commercial SPS technology lies in the development of an efficient and reliable high-throughput system. The ideal system should have a minimal footprint and only one SPS processing section or press chamber. It must produce high-volume output and include a strategy for protecting the die during disassembly. Lastly, the price needs to be reasonable in relation to the potential part volume.
A new patented high-throughput SPS design has been developed that addresses all the above requirements (see Figure 2).* The process operates as follows:
Section one: two-stage glove box
- First stage-load material into the die (atmosphere-controlled fill hopper)
- Second stage-die assembly
- First stage-SPS heat/force cycle
- Second stage-the die is "hot-stripped"
Section four: load lock chamber for die-set removal
It's important to keep several factors in mind. First, the die-set is automatically moved throughout the system on three separate reciprocating carriages. The press chamber isolation valves are water cooled. It's important that the die be hot-stripped immediately after processing. If the die-set is allowed to cool while assembled, there can be substantial scoring damage on the die during disassembly because the material and die cool at different rates. Hot-stripping the die prevents this damage. The cooling chamber stages can be increased or decreased, depending on cooling needs.
The entire system is controlled via a single control unit, with each individual step programmed using macro variables. In other words, the process movements are triggered by other processes and are not just timed. In addition, the system is also protected by interconnect and thermal switches.
Tooling ConsiderationsTooling requirements and processing issues must be weighed carefully before settling on a final design. Tooling strategies are commonly pre-tested and may include several layers of materials, including semiconductor, non-conductive, and strength materials (see Figure 3).
Generally, when processing high-temperature materials (above 1200°C), graphite is the norm. SPS graphite tooling is usually made of fine-grain, high-strength, high-density, very high-purity material. It has a very high melting temperature, is a good semiconductor, is relatively inexpensive, and is easy to machine. Graphite also produces a reducing atmosphere within the tooling during processing, which can be very valuable when processing materials that are easily oxidized.
The negative aspects of graphite include possible carbon contamination, high wear, and low compressive and flexural strength. These drawbacks mean that net shaping is not likely unless the final parts do not require tight tolerances. It also means that tools need to be routinely replaced due to high wear and breakage.
Other tooling materials include tool steels, tungsten carbide and ceramics doped with conductive materials. All of these choices work well with high-volume and net-shaping applications but have limited temperature capacities. Generally, maximum processing temperatures for a given tooling material fall in the range of 60% of the melting temperature of the tooling, which is the lowest temperature material in the mix if it's a composite.
Negative aspects of high-strength materials include high cost and chemical incompatibility with required atmospheres and processing materials. As mentioned previously, it's not uncommon to insert a graphite sleeve in a high-strength die material. This combines all the benefits of graphite with the strength of steel or ceramic, and the insert is relatively inexpensive to replace.
Processing BenefitsBinder-less processing and net and near-net processing are major benefits of the SPS process. Because SPS technology does not require binders to bond powders, the pre-press operation (or "green" stage) is unnecessary. With high-strength tooling, net and near-net shaping is possible with limitations, one being size. The largest parts that have been produced using SPS are in the range of 450 mm diameter x 7 mm thick.
Figure 4 illustrates examples of shapes that are easily processed with SPS technology, while Figure 5 represents shapes that could not be processed with SPS technology, at least not in a single procedure. The primary issues are force and electrical density. If force and electrical density can be maintained evenly throughout 100% of the part, it qualifies as a candidate for SPS processing.
Calculating CostMany potential commercial applications exist for SPS technology. For cost calculation purposes, we'll discuss a 200 mm diameter x 10 mm thick sputtering target with an approximate processing temperature of 1800°C. (This study is an examination of SPS operation and consumables; it does not include peripheral expenses such as the cost of material, material preparation, labor, or post-processing expenses.)
It is assumed that full density is required (above 98% relative density). Processing cycle times (ramp up and hold) are in the range of 14 minutes for one part and 17 minutes when two parts are stacked in the die. This example details the latter (two plates per run). Note: There is minimal out-gassing during processing, meaning there is no need to suspend processing to enable the vacuum to catch up.
In detailing the total processing cycle times, the process steps previously listed need to be reexamined. Assuming this is an ongoing process, it's safe to say that the operator will load the empty die-set into the glove box while the SPS is processing another die-set. While in the glove box, the die is filled, weighed, vibrated, assembled and lightly pre-pressed. At this time, the operator activates the "ready" switch, notifying the control that the die-set is ready to be moved into the press chamber.
In the press chamber, as soon as the previous sample's hold time is complete and the die is hot-stripped, the die-set is then moved into the seven-stage cooling chamber. Because the cooling chamber and the press chamber use the same atmosphere, very little vacuum is lost. Then the next die-set is loaded into the press chamber. If the following die-set is not in location and the operator has not hit the "ready" switch, the system simply waits until the switch is activated.
After seven cooling cycles, the die-sets are moved into the exit load-lock chamber and the atmosphere is neutralized. The operator is then notified that the load-lock chamber is ready for unloading.
Table 1 shows the time cycle breakdown. Rounded to a 24-minute cycle time, 60 SPS cycles or 120 sputtering targets could be achieved in 24 hours, equating to 720 plates per week or 2880 per month (assuming six-day operation each week).
Any high-throughput system requires regular cleaning and lubrication, plus ongoing minor adjustments. It is recommended that users of such a system plan for one day of downtime for each six full days of operation.
Required utilities include power, water and compressed air. The ongoing expense of operating a cooling tower and utilizing compressed air is approximately $100 each per week.
Maximum power consumption is estimated at 780 kVA. Maximum power is active during roughly 71% of the cycle (17 of 24 minutes); otherwise, the system runs on approximately 20 kVA. In a given week, which would include 20 kVA for power usage during maintenance, total power consumption would be in the range of 81,016 kWh. At today's energy costs (the 2008 U.S. national average was $.11 per kWh), that would average approximately $8900/week.
A budgetary quote for the system detailed in this report, including initial tooling, is $2.8 million. For this example, the total initial expense will be depreciated over eight years. This puts a total monthly purchase burden of $29,167 on the system, which brings total monthly expenses to $108,779. When that total is divided by the monthly production throughput of 2880 plates, the total cost per plate equates to $37.77.
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and hot pressing (HP) are the standard conventional technologies for consolidating powder sputtering targets. With targets of this size, manufacturing expenses (including consolidation, secondary machining, labor, and general business) commonly run in the range of $1000 to $1200 per target. Generally, the consolidation process and equipment (including equipment purchase and depreciation) would cover approximately 40% of these values. Not including labor, consolidation expenses would therefore run $400.00 to $480.00 per target.
In the case of 350 mm targets, the general approach is the same. The processing time per press increases to 25 minutes with a 32 minute cycle, which would enable 90 targets per day. With similar general expenses and an increase in power consumption, the cost per target would be $52. If we look at 50 mm targets, the throughput per press would be 36 targets. With similar processing expenses and cycle times, the throughput would be 2160 targets per day at a cost per target of $2.09. As a reminder, high-strength tooling can be used when processing lower-temperature materials. This would open the door to net shaping, thus increasing profitability even further.
As mentioned above, the materials used in these examples produce minimal out-gassing during processing, and there was no need to suspend processing for vacuum. Many materials do out-gas heavily during processing, especially in volume processing. Let's consider the 200 mm plate example with a 57 minute cycle (approximately 20 minutes at full power, 780 kVA; 30 minutes of 20% power, 158kVA; and seven minutes at 20 kVA). In this scenario, the throughput drops to 50 plates per day, but the power consumption and the tooling expenses also drop. When calculated, the cost per plate would rise to just $59.11, still a significant savings compared to conventional processing.
Moving Toward CommercializationPrevious impediments to the commercial growth of SPS have been removed with the development of a comprehensive high-throughput system. This new technology, which is an economically sound and viable approach for manufacturers in a range of industries, is poised for tremendous growth.

Series Description
The Absolutely Fabulous TV show was a 30 minute British comedy series about a "way out there" mother and her best friend who did drugs and generally acted like flower children from the 1960s. That and their selfishness nearly drive the mother's conservative daughter insane. The "insensitive" humor in this series may bother some but it made the show a hit in the UK.
Absolutely Fabulous Cast
Jennifer Saunders .... Edina Monsoon
Joanna Lumley .... Patsy Stone
June Whitfield .... June Monsoon
Julia Sawalha .... Saffron Monsoon
Jane Horrocks .... Bubble
Christopher Malcolm .... Justin
Christopher Ryan .... Marshall
Absolutely Fabulous Trivia
U.S. audiences who may not know Julia Sawalha from her performances on Absolutely Fabulous may recognize her from her role as "Lydia Bennet" on the "Pride and Prejudice miniseries".
In episode #9, "Morocco", Patsy got a sex change operation. She should have gotten a better surgeon because within a year her "new equipment" fell off!
Saffron was Justin's daughter and Serge was Marshall's son. Serge was never actually seen on Absolutely Fabulous.
Roseanne Barr ("Roseanne") bought the production rights to adapt a new series for U.S. viewers based on the Absolutely Fabulous TV show, but it went nowhere. It's probably just as well. Very few of the many great British series have successfully been Americanized. FOX apparently agreed with that statement. In early 2009 they nearly went forward with the production of an American pilot starring Kathryn Hahn ("Crossing Jordan") and Kristen Johnston ("3rd Rock from the Sun"). Kristen stated that the contracts were "pretty much locked-up" but shortly thereafter FOX killed the deal!
Absolutely Fabulous was so popular in the United States that the "60 minutes TV show" devoted a portion of their May 21, 1995 episode to it.
The Absolutely Fabulous TV show won two British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA) and was nominated for five others! Absolutely Fabulous also won on British Comedy Award and was nominated for four others. In 1994 it even won an international Emmy for episode #7, "Hospital" although the series, "Red Dwarf" tied for first that year. There were a couple more wins and one nomination from others organizations too!
In episode #6, "Birthday", Edina's two ex-husbands discovered that they were both forking over alimony and stopped paying her.

Tough Mudder, an endurance challenge that features daunting military-style obstacles, comes to Raceway Park in Englishtown.
Do you like this story?
Tough Mudder is not your average marathon. "We call ourselves Iron Man meets Burning Man," says Will Dean, CEO and cofounder of the over-the-top endurance challenge, which returns this month to Raceway Park in Englishtown.
Whether sending its slightly crazed participants dashing through 4-foot flames from kerosene-soaked straw bales, plunging 15 feet into 42-degree water, thrashing through four miles of solid mud or navigating greased monkey bars, Tough Mudder tests the mettle of the fittest of the fit. Even spectators have to sign a death or serious-injury waiver.
"When I told my parents I was doing the Tough Mudder, my mom said I was crazy and I was going to break my leg and lose my job," says lawyer Erica Clifford, 34, of Morristown, who took part in last year's Raceway Park event. "My dad—a former Marine—took me out to do pull-ups on the bar in the garage."
Clifford's brother, Stephen Clifford, 32, a digital-ad sales representative and Hoboken resident, also took part as one of her seven teammates. "For 26 days, I took a cold shower every morning. I also took an ice bath once, using five bags of ice. That still didn't prepare me for the cold water. It paralyzed me. It felt like my head shrunk to a pea size and that my rib cage had a boa constrictor around it."
Each Tough Mudder event (there have been 13 so far in the United States since May 2010) has approximately two dozen military-style obstacles—designed by British Special Forces. And at some point in the 10- to 12-mile course, there's always a mystery obstacle—such as live electrical wires, some packing 10,000 volts, which became so popular it was added as a regular obstacle.
"I put my arms in front of my face and just ran through, charging and screaming," Stephen says. "And it zapped, zapped, zapped. My muscles were freaking out and spasming."
Or try eating a habanero chili pepper before jumping into a garbage dumpster filled with water and ice.
"When you jump in cold water, you kind of gasp for breath because you didn't expect it to be so cold," says Bryan Crawford, a 25-year-old e-mail-marketing specialist from Warren, who experienced this at the Allentown, Pennsylvania race. "Well…you just ate the pepper, so it's hard to really gasp for air when your whole throat is burning."
Yet talk to mudders and each will tell you that there is something exhilarating about the race. "It's about camaraderie," says Dean. "It's about not taking yourself too seriously."
Tough Mudder (toughmudder.com) has its soft side, too. To date, the events have raised roughly $2 million for the Wounded Warrior Project, which assists severely injured American servicemen and women.
An estimated 20,000 people are expected to participate in the event November 12 to 13 in Englishtown, including Stephen Clifford (his third) and Bryan Crawford and his sister, Rebecca (their second).
Erica Clifford is taking a hiatus, but she has fond memories of last year. "We shared something that not many people go through," says Erica, who has run Tough Mudder twice. "I don't know if that sounds overly dramatic, but it's the complete truth. Two and a half hours of basically going through hell will do that to you."
In December, Tough Mudder returns to Raceway Park for a World's Toughest Mudder competition among the top 5 percent of all 2010-2011 finishers. They'll compete in a 24-hour version of the race, over a special 30-plus-obstacle course.

A video telephone / video chat service somewhat similar to Skype and Google Hangouts that makes it possible to conduct one-on-one video calls between newer Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac notebooks and desktops. Apple's FaceTime service is free to use but does require an Apple ID and a Wi-Fi connection, although future versions of FaceTime may also work over 3G and/or 4G connections, and several apps are currently available that make FaceTime over a 3G connection possible on a jailbroken iPhone.
FaceTime first debuted in the second half of 2010 on the iPhone 4, and currently supports the iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, the fourth generation iPod touch and later, and Macs with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6.6) and later installed. Some FaceTime features, like 720p resolution, are only available on certain platforms such as newer MacBook Pros and iMacs.

If Senator Larry E.

Gov. C. L. Otter, known as Butch, was lieutenant governor when he won the "Mr. Tight Jeans" contest at the Rockin' Rodeo bar here in the state capital in July 1992. A few days later he was arrested, and eventually convicted, for driving under the influence of alcohol. Now, after having gone on to serve three terms in the House of Representatives before being elected governor last year, Mr. Otter knows better than most what voters in this deeply conservative state will tolerate when it comes to the private behavior of public officials — William Yardley/New York Times.
