The six-year anniversary of the month when Lehman Brothers failed, and brought down much of the financial sector with it, was a rough one for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Continue reading
Six years ago, during the fall of 2008, the financial world was unraveling. But the origins of the Great Recession weren't simply monetary; they were moral, argues University of Washington professor David Bosworth. And yet, virtual America continues to miss the lessons, so often communicated in fairy tales, about the dangers of unchecked self-interest, he writes in an adaptation of his new book, "The Moral Origins of the Great Recession: The Demise of Virtue in Virtual America." Continue reading
Leaders have known how to do good accounting for nearly a millennium, but many financial institutions and regimes have just chosen not to do it. Historian Jacob Soll traces the origins of capitalism and representative government to basic accounting, and argues that financial and political crises often stem from the breakdown of a culture of accounting. Continue reading
Federal Reserve Board transcripts from 2008 released on Friday give a behind-the-scenes look at how the nation's central bankers reacted to the global financial meltdown. Hari Sreenivasan speaks with the Wall Street Journal's Jon Hilsenrath about what new insight these documents give us about how the Fed handled the crisis. Continue reading
In September 2008, the global financial markets were melting down and banking giants teetered on the brink. Judy Woodruff recounts how the U.S. government responded in shoring up the financial sector, and, five years later, how some Americans remain angry and resentful of Wall Street. Continue reading
After the fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008, Congress passed the Troubled Asset Relief Program, disbursing money to hundreds of banks, including AIG. Ray Suarez talks to University of Michigan's Michael Barr and Better Markets' Dennis Kelleher on whether the bailouts resulted in financial reform or banks are still too big to fail. Continue reading
As the U.S. election season heats up amid rising debt, Europe's woes, expiring Bush-era tax cuts and a scheduled round of spending cuts, the Congressional Budget Office warned the economy could head back into recession. Judy Woodruff speaks with Harvard University's Ken Rogoff and Josh Bivens of the Economic Policy Institute. Continue reading
Major securities firm MF Global, Inc., run by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, filed for bankruptcy protection Monday. Ray Suarez speaks with New York Times columnist Joe Nocera about the story and the investor money at stake. Continue reading
Lehman Brother's extensive and diverse art collection is being auctioned off to help pay back creditors. Art world dealers suspect when the final bids are accepted for the world-renowned collection, the art could be worth $10 million. Continue reading
The 2008 downfall of financial giant Lehman Brothers prompted global efforts to avoid another international financial crisis. Two financial reporters, John Cassidy and Andrew Ross Sorkin, talk about what we've learned in the two years since Lehman's collapse and what's been done to avoid a similar instance.

I have a few more questions I hope you don't mind answering.
The function
enet_packet_create (const void *data, size_t dataLength, enet_uint32 flags)
Creates a packet that may be sent to a peer. The tutorial states "Optionally, initial data may be specified to copy into the packet." Does that mean that this function copy the data pointed to by void *data to its own allocated space, such that I can deallocate void *data after this function call?
Do these functions
enet_host_check_events (ENetHost *host, ENetEvent *event) enet_host_service (ENetHost *host, ENetEvent *event, enet_uint32 timeout)
perform the same thing, only the latter blocks until timeout. Meaning it will act exactly the same if timeout = 0 is passed? So I should use the first if I don't want to block? Is it more optimized?
In this code
ENetEvent event; while (enet_host_service (client, & event, 1000) > 0) { switch (event.type) { case ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE: printf ("A packet of length %u containing %s was received from %s on channel %u.\n", event.packet -> dataLength, event.packet -> data, event.peer -> data, event.channelID);
The packet source is known from the .peer member, does the library retain the data internally?
When connecting to a host
/* Initiate the connection, allocating the two channels 0 and 1. */ ENetPeer *peer; peer = enet_host_connect (client, & address, 2, 0); if (peer == NULL) { fprintf (stderr, "No available peers for initiating an ENet connection.\n"); exit (EXIT_FAILURE); }
"ENet aggregates all protocol commands, including acknowledgements and packet transfer, into larger protocol packets to ensure the proper utilization of the connection and to limit the opportunities for packet loss that might otherwise result in further delivery latency."

He may have dementia....
....but he is not all gone. My dad was hanging around the kitchen tonight while I was preparing dinner. He was fasinated with the spaghetti squash so I gave him a fork and had him "pull" it out of the skin. He worked really hard, considering he has very limited vision, and managed to get it all. Then he asked, "What should I do with it" so I had him scoop it in to the frying pan which had onions and garlic in it.........after it sauted for a little bit I had him taste it. He told me it needed more salt, so in went more salt. He tasted it again and told me it was now perfect. LOL! When we sat down to eat I told him it was very good and he said THANKS!
I try to give him jobs to do that I know he can manage. If I had been thinking he could have chopped the onions because I have one of those Vidalia chop wizard things so it is very safe for him to use.
I know I am rambling but it feels good to see my dad still trying to do things, inspite of his vision and dementia. Of course if you were to ask him now if he helped with dinner he probably would not remember, but I will remember!

Poulan Chain saw won't stay running
I have a Poulan Chain saw Timbermaster model 3500. I haven't used it for a couple years, so I cleaned the carburetor, changed the plug, new mixed fuel, etc...
It will crank right up, but will only run for a few seconds then just dies. When it is running for the few seconds it sounds fine, no sputtering or popping and no smoking. But then it just dies. I can pulse the throttle trigger and nurse it along to run a little longer, but it still dies.
Any ideas???
Is that the model that has the fuel line going up through the handle with no primer bulb??? Not really other than looking for stiffness or tiny crack, I throwed old ones in and they worked and looked just like the one I took out, I don't know if that fixed it or not based on how the diaphram looked? You didn't mention anything about carb out of adjustment. I take it you already tried to richen it up alittle already????
It's and older saw, probably has a Walbro carb. (which is good usually they can be rebuilt easily if you worked on carb. before) You need to get the number off the carb. (WT then some numbers). Any Small engine repair shop or some old town hardware stores can get kits. or you can go online get one. Cost will be 4.99 to about 8.99 probably. The phone book for Poulan dealers is a good place to start.
you can also go online to sears parts and enter the model number, they will have a break down of your saw (I dought they will have a carb. kit? but maybe. Need to get the "358.252630"-1.8/10 is mine number. Mine says for my carb it's a WT-3 walbro carb.
That don't look familar to me. Look on the main body stamped on the side should start with WT, Maybe a WT21????
I'll try to post a walbro site that shows the breakdown of most common walbro carb. http://www.aerocorsair.com/id27.htm I think it shows where the ID numbers will be...
hear is a better site and breakdown IMO. http://tech.flygsw.org/walbro_tuneup.htm
or just google walbro and you will get plenty of sites.

Mulberry tip turned dry and curl??
I have a Pakistan mulberry which I planted last year.
It grows like crazy but recently I found some of the new leave have died.
And I also found a "mini gummy thing" (see picture)
Does anybody know what happened to the tree?
Is this some kind of pest?
Yep it is a bug. If you look just down the stem from the wilt you will see some brown lines where it girdled the shoot. They lay an egg inside the stem and the maggot hatches. Just snip off the shoots below the brown lines or gummy spot and dispose of it.
Thank you for the answer. Do you know which kind of bug that is? Tried to google but can't figure it out..
BTW, I bought this bare root Pakistan mulberry tree last early spring. Then the grafted part never leaf out and died. Only the root stock survived and now is 10 feet tall and luckily still gives me around 50 Pakistan mulberry this spring.
I am wondering how come the grafted part died but the root stock grows so vigorously?
Looks like they are all Pakistan mulberry tree.
Root stocks are vigorous.......that is one reason why they are used as root stock:)
Sorry I don't know what bug it is..perhaps it is the same cane borer that attacks raspberry and blackberry canes? Just not sure if that is the same bug. The damage is the same. My mulberries have those folded tips all over it. To me it does not matter because they are fruiting now and when done it will get severely pruned as I want it to be a bush. Here is a pic of the fruit I took the other day.

NEW YORK -- Watching a National Hockey League GM at work on draft day is a bit like taking in a juggling act at the carnival. A juggling act featuring chainsaws... with the juggler blindfolded and walking a high wire.
Yes, there can be a lot going on when 30 NHL GMs gather in one room sporting itchy trigger fingers, with the salary cap dropping and 29 of them -- everybody but Stan Bowman of the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks -- trying to find the missing piece(s) to get their squad into the winner's circle.
Expect Winnipeg Jets' GM Kevin Cheveldayoff to be right in the mix of it all, although he's hardly carved out a reputation as a wheeler-dealer through two years on the job. That said, it was Cheveldayoff himself who spoke of his flexibility earlier in the week -- after all, the Jets have cap room, a number of holes to fill and a swack of picks to possibly package.
All of which should make Sunday's one-day draft extravaganza compelling drama.
Here's our own juggling act of sorts, a multi-faceted handy-dandy guide to the 2013 NHL entry draft:
WHO GOES NO. 1? AND NOS. 2 and 3 AND ....
The 2013 talent pool is being called the deepest and most gifted since the 2003 draft that saw Marc-Andre Fleury, Eric Staal, Nathan Horton, Thomas Vanek, Milan Michalek, Ryan Suter, Dion Phaneuf, Dustin Brown, Brent Seabrook, Zach Parise, Ryan Getzlaf, Mike Richards and Corey Perry all go in the first round.
The Colorado Avalanche have said they'll pluck Halifax Mooseheads forward Nathan MacKinnon first overall, seemingly bumping Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones -- who grew up in Denver -- out of that perch. MacKinnon's teammate Jonathan Drouin is also in the mix. Many experts believe any one of those three, and possibly Finnish centre Aleksander Barkov, all would have been selected ahead of Nail Yakupov, last year's No. 1 choice overall by Edmonton, had they been in the 2012 draft.
All that elite talent is why so many GMs will be working the phones and the floor through Sunday.
Well, about as legit as any rumour swirling around on the eve of the draft. There's no question the Jets are still bothered by Dustin Byfuglien's fitness issues, but there also seems to be more of an acceptance of who he is -- a difference-maker when he's on, a liability when he's not. But if the team is considering moving him, remember Buff's flaws/strengths are clearly visible to 29 other GMs as well. And there's no escaping this: He's 28, will earn $5.75 million this coming season and can still hammer the puck.
The Alex Burmistrov situation is more mysterious. He's just 21 but has already played close to 200 NHL games. He has been capable defensively, but his offensive production has been mediocre. Cheveldayoff didn't really deny the rumours earlier this week but, predictably, wouldn't offer much on them either.
Have you seen their depth chart? Everything, pretty much. Winnipeg has nine unrestricted free agents and a pile of restricted free agents. Even if Mark Scheifele was to make the club they lack depth at centre, are coveting a top-six forward -- preferably a right-winger -- and could always use more defence. About the only position we would suggest isn't a priority early in the draft is goaltender, as the Jets have three or four legit prospects in Eddie Pasquale, Connor Hellebuyck, Jason Kasdorf and Juho Olkinuora.
A few to keep an eye on as the draft unfolds:
-- Grandview's Ryan Pulock (D, Brandon Wheat Kings) was ranked in the top 10 earlier this year, but according to Central Scouting's final rankings, is now 12th among North American skaters.
-- Madison Bowey of Winnipeg (D, Kelowna Rockets) is ranked 32nd.
-- Paul Stokewych of Winnipeg (D, Winnipeg Blues) is ranked 204th among North American skaters.
-- And while London Knights forward Max Domi grew up in Toronto, he was born in Winnipeg when his father Tie was a member of the Jets. He is ranked 19th.
WHO MIGHT STILL BE THERE WHEN THE JETS PICK 13th?
The five most common names at No. 13 in mock drafts are:
-- Max Domi, C, London Knights: Lots of offensive skill and oodles of hockey smarts.
Domi rankings: Craig Button, TSN: 10; NHL Central Scouting: 19 (North American Skaters, NAS); International Scouting Services: 25; The Hockey News: 15; McKeen's: 9.
-- Hunter Shinkaruk, C, Medicine Hat Tigers: Very good numbers the last two years with 86 goals in 130 games.
Shinkaruk rankings: Button: 14; NHL CS: No. 6 NAS; ISS: 13; THN: 23; McKeen's: 22.
-- Frederik Gauthier, C, Rimouski Oceanic: Solid two-way player who is 6-5, 210 and still growing.
Gauthier rankings: Button: 21; NHL CS: 8 (NAS); ISS: 18; THN: 30; McKeen's: 23.
-- Bo Horvat, C, London Knights: Character player with some offensive pop.
Horvat rankings: Button: 19; NHL CS: 15 (NAS); ISS: 10; THN: 16; McKeen's: 14.
-- Samuel Morin, D, Rimouski Oceanic: A monster 6-6 D-man whose game is said to be progressing quickly.
Morin rankings: Button: 13; NHL CS: 23 (NAS); ISS: 32; THN: 20; McKeen's: 10.

David Beckham happily chatted with two Manchester United players in their locker room in London yesterday. He was quite the energetic fan as he cheered on his old team from the stands. David wasn't around to take his wife to the Costume Institute Gala this year, and although we missed seeing the handsome couple all dressed up, Becks seems to be happy immersing himself in soccer for the time being.

I am looking for a couple of toxic items. Nasty stuff anyway.
albert_135September 10, 2010
I am looking for a couple of nasty, toxic items.
I want to find some phosphoric acid to make a custom fertilizer.
I want some sulfuric acid to treat some cantankerous native grass seed.
I once worked in a laboratory where these items were commonplace and handled them daily. Both items could once be found in the cleaning sections of hardware stores. I haven't seen them in recent years. Any suggestions?
Phosphoric acid is used as a rust inhibitor. Check the paint removal section at Home Depot. I think naval jelly is phosphoric acid, but I guess a gel version isn't going to work for your purposes.
Sulfuric acid is used in swimming pool maintenance, so try a place that sells pool chemicals. It sounds like overkill for grass, however.

Willow water question
Can anyone tell me the color of properly prepared willow water? I am ready to start some softwood cuttings of shrubs and thought I'd soak them in willow water for a while before sticking them. Then would use the willow water to moisten the media.
I brought to a boil a gallon or so of water, threw in about a cup of pencil thick or smaller 1" pieces of willow and let it cool. When I peeked a while ago, it looked like weak tea. Is this the color it should be or should I dilute it??
You don't need to dilute it. When I watched a local plantsman/propagator make it on a television segment, he put willow pieces in a stock-type pot just covered with water by a couple of inches and simmered (barely) with lid overnight. It was definitely darker than weak tea, looked more like cola.
Thanks. I have so much of it I've got to figure out a way to use it or lose it. A friend suggested that perhaps I could freeze it.
I also read somewhere that ww will stay fresh for a year or longer if you refrigerate it. I wonder if that's true. I'm afraid if I leave it in the fridge, I may someday think it's tea, add sugar, drink it and sprout roots.

Preview: Eastern Michigan Eagles
Eagles' zone D has been effective, but offense must quickly get better
2013-14 MAC Projected Standings
EAST: 1. Kent State | 2. Akron | 3. Ohio | 4. Bowling Green | 5. Buffalo | 6. Miami
WEST: 1. Toledo | 2. Western Michigan | 3. Ball State | 4. Central Michigan | 5. Eastern Michigan | 6. Northern Illinois
Links to every conference
Eastern Michigan Eagles
2012-13: 16-18 (7-9 MAC); lost to Western Michigan 70-55, MAC quarterfinals
In-conference offense: 0.95 points per possession (10th)
In-conference defense: 0.95 points allowed per possession (3rd)
When Rob Murphy took over the program two seasons ago, he installed the zone defense of his old boss Jim Boeheim. Like Syracuse, the Eagles tend to block shots and force many 3-pointers while holding opponents to low three point shooting percentages. Like their counterparts in upstate New York, guards like senior J.R. Sims can live in the passing lanes, getting deflections and creating turnovers. And just like Syracuse, Eastern Michigan gives up many offensive rebounds.
Projected starting lineup
On the offensive end on the floor, Eastern Michigan has been a total disaster. While the Eagles fared well on the offensive boards last season, they did little else to help the scoring cause. The only easy points for Murphy's squad came on the many live ball turnovers that their defense created. Mixing an effective defense, a rough offense, and an excruciatingly slow pace of play, Eastern Michigan games often turn into rock fights where the first team to 60 wins. This season, expect more of the same.
Eastern Michigan has size and talent, particularly on the front line. Former Syracuse transfer Da'Shonte Riley, at 7-foot, is a ferocious shot blocker and rebounder, but struggles offensively. With Zeke Marshall no longer at Akron, Riley now becomes the most physically imposing big man in the MAC. Former Arkansas transfer Glenn Bryant was a highly regarded high school player out of Oak Hill Academy. The 6-8 senior seems likely to lead the Eagles in scoring, and also doubles as an outstanding interior defender. Sophomore point guard Jalen Ross struggled with turnovers as a freshman, and an improvement in ball security would help the offense tremendously.
Projected 2013-14 conference finish: 5th in West

alice-sj, I found it!
I am 99.9 percent certain this is the motel grandson and I stayed in.
Only complaint I had was it took 45 minutes for their airport shuttle to pick us up and take us to the motel. But it was a busy time when we arrived.
Other than that as I said, I was so pleased with everything. One of the cleanest rooms I've been in and everyone was so nice. Right down to the sanitized tv remote controls.
Breakfast was a delight.
Just make reservations for shuttle pickup to ship at the desk. when you call and double check when you get there.

alice, when gs and I were walking to our room after checkin, I had my doubts, cause I found the place online. What impressed me were the reviews.
When we go inside the room, I could not have been more pleased with how clean everything was. And remember how great the sleeping was.
It definitely is NOT fancy, but just a nice clean place to get a good nights sleep.
Then the wonderful breakfast. Waffles, which you prepare yourself, etc.
GS had a burger the night we arrived, and the wait staff was so nice and the burger was great.

Pocock ready, willing and able to return
ESPNscrum Staff
September 26, 2011
Wallabies flanker David Pocock is well on the road to recovery © Getty Images
Australia flanker David Pocock has revealed that he feels back to full fitness and is desperately hoping to play some part in Saturday's Rugby World Cup Pool C clash with Russia in Nelson.
Pocock was forced to pull out of the starting line-up for last Sunday week's defeat by Ireland after suffering a recurrence of a back problem and was not risked in Friday's meeting with the USA in Wellington. However, he expects to play a full part in training this week and, consequently, is praying for a recall from Wallabies head coach Robbie Deans for this weekend's game against the Bears.
"It's feeling good," Pocock said of his back. "I'm keen to get out there. It would be great to get some running in the legs and, yeah, I'm just keen to play.
"I've got through a fair bit of work the past couple of weeks just trying to settle it all down and do all the right things and then ran really well yesterday morning, so it should be full training this week. It all depends on Robbie and what the coaches are looking at for the Russians."
Pocock admitted having to sit helpless on the sidelines as the Wallabies slumped to a shock 15-6 loss to the Irish was a horrible experience.
"It was tough. I think it was tough for the whole group," he said. "You never want to lose those games and it was one that we really went in looking to win, but it just didn't happen on the night.
"It's put us in a tough position, but that's just something we've got to deal with - beat Russia and then move on and play South Africa in the quarters."
After bouncing back to winning ways by routing the USA on Friday, the Wallabies are expected to have even less trouble with the Russians, who have lost all three of their pool games to doubt. However, Pocock is not taking the World Cup newcomers lightly.
"I've seen all their games and they're a team with a lot of fight," he said. "They haven't obviously got the results they've been after but you can't fault their intensity, the way they fly into the tackle area. They scored a few good tries against Ireland as well on the weekend."

Unknow Stain
josalSeptember 9, 2012
I know that my deck wood is cedar. What I don't know is whether the stain is oil or water based. There are several areas where there is old solid stain patches, some large and a few smaller and very large areas of dirty old gray, down to the wood, decking. What kind of stripper should I use to remove the stain?
HD-80 will remove virtually any exterior stain.
Cabot makes a line of "problem solver" products and I think? they make 2, one for stripping latex stains too. If your old patch looks badly faded and dirty, it's probably old oil solid. If it is peeled anywhere it's probably latex. There are other ways to tell, like if alcohol will break it down, it's oil.

Why USF?
I knew that I wanted to go to California for college, but I wasn't sure what school I wanted to go to. My top two choices were Santa Clara and USF. I originally had Santa Clara has my first choice of university because I thought the students were more laid-back. I wasn't sure that I would fit into such a metropolitan environment at USF since I was coming from Oregon. In the end, I ended up at USF because I received a better financial aid package here. Although this isn't the best reason for attending USF, it's pretty realistic to what many students go through when choosing schools. Over the years, I've realized that USF is the perfect college me. I love all of the opportunities in San Francisco, and I've enjoyed getting to know all of the students, professors, and staff who are also at this school.
USF Involvement:
Peer Advisor, Student Leadership and Engagement: As a Peer Advisor, I act as a role model for students who visit SLE and want to learn about on campus involvement. I encourage students to get involved and find a community with similar values and goals. Students look up to Peer Advisors as encyclopedias of information who offer advice regarding leadership, organizational dynamics, and officer transitions.
Charter Class Member, Kappa Alpha Theta: I am a role model for my sisters in Theta and have been named the Leading Woman of the Week two weeks in a row. My commitment to sisterhood, scholarship, extracurricular involvement, and spreading the widest influence for good inspires the other women in my chapter. I've been involved in multiple service organizations through Theta including Best Buddies, Glide, Francisco Middle School, Generation Citizen, and more.
President, Campus Activities Board: I have served as the CAB president for the past two years, and during these years, CAB has significantly grown as an organization. Our successful events motivate other students to get involved in our organization and find community. As president, I act as a mentor and resource for the other directors so that their events can succeed.
Recruitment Counselor, Panhellenic Council: As a Recruitment Counselor, I portrayed a positive image of Greek life to students and promoted Greek values. By emphasizing universal Greek values, I hoped to encourage friendship and cooperation between the two Panhellenic organizations.
GO Team, Orientation Leader: As a member of GO Team, I welcomed new students to the university, helped create a respectful and inclusive environment, and shared my USF experiences. This position allowed me to connect with students and help them realize their potential.
Benefits of Involvement:
I've gained so many friends and new experiences from being involved. Joining different organizations has taught me how to be a better leader and overall person. Being involved has also made me a better student because it has forced me to use my time efficiently stay focused in classes.
Leadership is the act of guiding a group of people toward a common goal. Strong leaders can focus chaos and roll their sleeves up to get the job done. Leaders understand when to step up and speak or when to listen. A leader achieves results through teamwork, creates an environment for everyone to achieve, and shares success with the entire team.
Advice to First Year Students:
I would tell a new student to get involved right away! Attend involvement fair in the fall and visit the Peer Advising Team on the UC 4th floor to learn about different student organizations. Think about your favorite involvement experiences in high school to find similar clubs at USF. For example, if you enjoyed planning prom in high school, you will probably love being part of the Campus Activities Board.
Favorite Place in City: I love the Ice Cream Bar in Cole Valley!
Random Fact: I know and can sing nearly all of the words to Belle's opening song from Beauty and the Beast.

China's Emergence In The World Economy And Business Cycles In Latin America
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The international business cycle is very important for Latin America's economic performance as the recent global crisis vividly illustrated. This paper investigates how changes in trade linkages between China, Latin America, and the rest of the world have altered the transmission mechanism of international business cycles to Latin America. Evidence based on a Global Vector AutoRegressive (GVAR) model for 5 large Latin American economies and all major advanced and emerging economies of the world shows that the long-term impact of a China GDP shock on the typical Latin American economy has increased by three times since mid-1990s.

A safety drain for a spa having a recirculating water pump is arranged to prevent entrapment, against the drain, of an object or person that may inadvertently block flow of water through the drain. The drain body, having a first fitting connected to the suction line of the pump, is provided with a second fitting connected to a vent conduit that has an end open to atmosphere at a point above water level. A by-pass conduit interconnecting the pump suction line and the vent conduit avoids disablement of the safety function of the vent conduit if the latter should become blocked within the drain.
1. In a spa including a shell with a water inlet, a drain completely submerged at the bottom of said shell, a recirculating water pump having a suction line connected to the drain and a pressure line connected to the inlet, the improvement comprising
safety apparatus for decreasing suction forces exerted upon an object or person that may inadvertently block flow of water into the drain, to thereby avoid entrapment of such object or person at the drain, said apparatus comprising a vent conduit having an end at the bottom of said shell connected with said drain and having an intake open to atmosphere and positioned above water level of said shell, said vent conduit extending externally of said shell and upwardly from said drain and the bottom of said shell to said intake; a drain by-pass conduit connected to and between said pump suction line and said vent conduit, whereby blockage of said vent conduit within said drain will not disable operation of said vent conduit to avoid entrapment.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 including means for restricting flow through said by-pass and vent conduits relative to flow through said suction line.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said drain comprises a body having an open top positioned at the bottom of said shell and having side walls extending below the bottom of said shell and wherein said pump suction line and said vent conduit are connected to said body side walls at points mutually spaced by a major dimension of said body.
5. A spa comprising
a water containing shell having side walls and a bottom,
a water inlet in said shell,
a pump having a pressure line connected to said inlet, and having a suction line,
a drain mounted in said shell, said drain having an open top positioned substantially at said bottom and having wall portions extending below said shell bottom, said drain having first and second drain fittings in said wall portions below said shell bottom, said first fitting being connected to said pump suction line, and
a vent conduit having one end connected to said second drain fitting and the other end open to atmosphere at a point above water level of said shell; a drain by-pass conduit connected to and between said pump suction line and said vent conduit, whereby blockage of said vent conduit within said drain will not disable operation of said vent conduit to avoid entrapment.
6. The spa of claim 5 wherein said drain includes a bottom, and including a protective grate overlying said drain, said grate including a perforate lid spaced about and covering said drain and extending beyond said drain wall portions on all sides, means for securing said lid to and supporting it from said drain, said lid having a circumferential flange projecting downwardly therefrom, said flange being formed with passage means for flowing water to said drain from a plurality of points adjacent the periphery of said lid and spaced radially outwardly of said drain wall portions.

a vent conduit having one end connected to said second drain fitting and its other end open to atmosphere at a point above water level of said shell, said drain including sidewalls and a bottom, a protective grate overlying said drain and including a perforate lid spaced about and covering said drain and extending beyond said drain sidewalls on all sides,
means for securing said lid to and supporting it from said drain, said lid having a circumferential flange projecting downwardly therefrom, said flange being formed with passage means for flowing water to said drain from a plurality of points adjacent the periphery of said lid and spaced radially outwardly of said drain sidewalls, and
a pedestal carried by said lid and projecting downwardly therefrom to a point close to but spaced from said drain bottom whereby a relatively small amount of downward deflection of said lid will cause said pedestal to abut said bottom to provide further support for said lid.
The present invention relates to spas or therapy pools and more particularly concerns an improved drain arrangement which will avoid entrapment of an object or person that may inadvertently block the drain.
The common spa or therapy pool designed for home use is much like a conventional swimming pool in that it includes a water containing shell, drain and inlet connections, and a recirculating water pump forcing water into the pool through the inlet connection and extracting water from the pool through the drain connection. One of the significant differences between the conventional swimming pool and the spa or therapy pool is the size of the water container. Whether such a spa is designed and built as an adjunct of the conventional swimming pool, to be operated together with the pool, or is designed and built to be operated as a totally independent unit, it is generally of a considerably smaller size and depth. Therefore, the person using the spa is normally positioned much closer to the spa drain than such person would be when using the conventional swimming pool. In the latter case the drain, which is generally located at the bottom of the deepest section of the pool, may be from 6 to 10 feet below the water surface. In the case of the spa, the drain, also positioned in the bottom at a lower point (which is often in the center of the spa tub or shell), may be only a few feet from the surface. Thus, in the use of the spa there is a considerably greater likelihood that the user will come into contact with the drain.
Such contact with the drain can be dangerous, painful or even fatal. A typical drain is 5 to 8 inches in diameter and thus it is possible that the body of a person, when positioned in close proximity to the drain, may be drawn down upon the surface of the drain cover to thus completely block the drain openings. If the drain is blocked, the person may be entrapped and drowned.
A commonly used recirculating spa pump of 11/2 to 2 horsepower can draw a vacuum as high as 22 to 26 inches of mercury. A vacuum of this magnitude, drawn upon a drain opening, even where such opening is as small as 5 inches, may exert sufficient suction forces to prevent a young person, or even some adults, from pulling free of the forces exerted by a drain that is completely blocked by the body or clothing of such person. If the person is able to pull free of the sucking drain, bruises or welts may result. In at least one case, a child has been drowned in a spa when his abodmen inadvertently covered and blocked the drain, whereby he was entrapped at the bottom of the spa and unable to break free.
Where a spa or therapy pool is provided with a skimmer having an intake just below the water surface and a connection to the pump suction line, such a skimmer when operating properly will operate to relieve dangerous suction at a blocked main drain. However, such skimmers are generally provided with valves to adjust relative flow of water through the skimmer and through the main drain, which valves are easily and often closed to completely stop the skimmer action. Further, the skimmer by its very nature incorporates a strainer or basket having relatively small openings and such basket is frequently plugged when overloaded with debris or floating objects such as balls or plastic toys and the like. Even where a skimmer is provided, its intake is below the water surface and thus it withdraws water from the pool at all times so that the skimmer valve is often closed to disable the skimmer when the spa is in use. Further, should the main water level drop below the level of the skimmer input, recirculation is disabled because the pump will suck air through the skimmer. Therefore, the skimmer is not and cannot be a true safety device and, in fact, has not been accepted or approved as such by government officials having regulatory authority over safety of spas and swimming pools.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a reliable safety device for spa drains that eliminates or minimizes the above-mentioned problems.
In carrying out principles of the present invention in accordance with a preferred embodiment thereof, a spa having a drain that is connected to the suction line of a recirculating water pump is provided with a vent conduit that is connected to the drain and which has an intake open to the atmosphere and positioned above the water level. Preferably the vent conduit and the water pump suction line are connected to the drain at mutually spaced points thereof and a by-pass conduit is connected to and between the pump suction line and the vent conduit so that if the vent conduit is blocked within the drain, it will still have an operating connection, via the by-pass conduit, to the pump suction line to avoid entrapment of an object or person. In conjunction with the vent conduit an improved anti-entrapment and strengthened drain cover is provided to extend over an area considerably greater than the drain opening and having a downwardly projecting peripheral flange providing a pattern of input passages to the drain. This pattern is spread over a large area so that all of such passages are less likely to be blocked at one time. Further, the drain cover or grate is provided with a downwardly projecting pedestal that allows a small amount of grate deflection but which provides additional support to limit deflection and prevent concomitant breakage.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a spa or therapy pool system embodying the safety drain of the present invention showing the by-pass line at 90� to its preferred position;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of the drain of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the drain showing the several conduits and water lines connected thereto, and showing the by-pass line in its preferred position; and
FIG. 4 is a view of the drain of FIG. 1 having a modified drain cover.
As shown in FIG. 1, a typical therapy pool or spa includes a water-tight tub or shell 10 of approximately 3 to 10 feet or more in diameter and of 3 to 4 or 5 feet in depth, although sizes and horizontal and vertical configurations are widely variable according to individual desires and preferences. The spa has a plurality of aerator inlet nozzles such as nozzle 12 (only one nozzle is shown) which are spaced about the periphery of the spa shell and connected to an aerator fitting 14. Aerator fitting 14, which is a known arrangement for mixing air and water, is conventionally connected to an air blower 16 by means of an air pressure conduit 18 and is also connected to a recirculating water pump 20 by means of a water pressure line 22.
At a lowermost point of the spa shell, there is formed a drain opening 24 in which is inserted a drain generally indicated at 26. The drain may be of many different sizes and configurations but, in the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, comprises a generally cylindrical body having sidewalls 28, a bottom 30, and an open top. The drain body is mounted to the spa in any one of a number of conventional arrangements. As shown in FIG. 2, the drain body is positioned below the bottom 11 of the spa with a gasket 34 interposed between the drain and the spa bottom. A clamp ring 36 is positioned above the spa bottom 11, having an opening in registry with the drain and spa bottom openings, and secured to the spa bottom and drain by means of a plurality of screws, such as indicated at 38.
The open top of the drain is protected by a perforated grate 40 having a lid 42 covering the opening and extending beyond the drain opening. The lid includes a top section seated upon an upwardly and inwardly facing shoulder 44 of the clamp ring. The grate is fixed to the clamp ring and to the drain body by means of a plurality of screws 46 that extend through the lid and clamp ring for threaded engagement in the drain body. To further strengthen the grate and prevent breakage, a pedestal 50 in the form of a short cylindrical body is fixed to the underside of the grate lid 40 and depends therefrom to a point close to but spaced above the drain bottom 30. Thus, should a heavy downward force be placed upon the grate, it would deflect downwardly together with pedestal 50 until the bottom of the latter contacted the drain bottom, at which time further support for the mid-portion of the grate lid would be provided to thus considerably strengthen the lid while retaining a degree of flexibility.
Extending horizontally from the sidewall of the drain sidewalls is a suction fitting 52 which is connected to a suction line 54 which in turn is connected to the intake of pump 20. Thus the pump will recirculate water of the spa, drawing water from the drain via fitting 52 and suction line 54 and forcing water back into the spa via pressure line 22, aerator fitting 14 and inlet nozzle 12.
With the drain components described up to this point, and assuming for the purposes of this discussion that the venting arrangement to be described below is not included, this spa presents a major hazard to a user who may inadvertently contact the drain grate 40 and, by means of loose and relatively impervious clothing, or by means of contact of the person's body, block all or substantially all of the openings in the drain grate. Should such openings be blocked, the pump continues to run but will rapidly extract all water from the drain and draw a vacuum within the drain body of as high as 22 to 26 inches of mercury. As previously mentioned, even with a drain diameter no greater than 5 inches, a vacuum of this magnitude may exert a force upon a person that is beyond the strength of such person to overcome. Such person could, therefore, become entrapped against the drain and might drown.
The present invention provides a simple, reliable and trouble free arrangement that will help to avoid the creation of such a vacuum in the drain. No springs, valves, electrical components or moving parts of any type are employed.
In order to insure that such a large magnitude vacuum will not be produced within the drain, the drain body is provided with a second fitting 58 that is connected to a vent conduit 60 having an end 62 that is positioned above the level of the water in the spa and preferably above the uppermost portion of the spa itself. Inlet end 62 of the vent conduit 60 is provided with a perforate end cap 64 to avoid entrance of objects that could block the vent conduit. Further, the inlet end 62 is preferably positioned in a location remote from the tub that is not easily or normally accessible or otherwise subject to inadvertent blockage.
With the described vent conduit, complete blockage of the drain by covering all of the apertures in grate 40, will not result in a vacuum of great magnitude within the drain since the interior of the drain is connected with the atmosphere via conduit 60. Thus the pressure within the drain can drop below atmospheric pressure only by the relatively small amount of pressure drop between the end 62 of the vent conduit and the fitting 58.
It is possible, nevertheless, under certain circumstances, that the end of vent conduit 60 connected to fitting 58 may be blocked within the drain itself. Breakage of the lid of the drain grate could result in an object entering the interior of the grate and contacting the opening of fitting 58, within the drain, thereby blocking communication between the vent conduit and the drain. In such a situation, without the by-pass to be described below, the drain still could be blocked and exert an entrapping and possibly fatal force. To eliminate this possible disabling of the safety operation of the vent conduit 60, there is provided a by-pass conduit 68 having one end connected to the pump suction line 54 by means of a T-fitting 70 that is connected in the suction line. The other end of the by-pass conduit is connected to the vent conduit 60 by means of a T-fitting 72 connected in the suction line. Both of the T-fittings 70 and 72 are preferably connected close to the drain to minimize required conduit lengths. The by-pass conduit is shown below the drain in FIG. 1 (and shifted 90� from its preferred position) only for clarity of the drawing. It is preferred to position this conduit at the level of the suction line 54 and the lower part of vent conduit 60. The latter arrangement is shown in FIG. 3.
With use of the by-pass conduit 68, even blockage of the drain connection to conduit 60, that is, blockage of fitting 58 within the drain, will not disable the entrapment preventing operation of conduit 60. If fitting 58 is blocked, the higher atmospheric pressure at conduit end 62 may still be communicated to the interior of the drain via vent conduit 60, T-fitting 72, by-pass conduit 68, T-fitting 70, and the line between fittings 52 and 70.
Preferably fitting 58 is smaller than the fitting 52, thereby to decrease the flow of water from the drain via fitting 58 and by-pass conduit 68. Further, it is important that the fittings 58 and 52 be spaced from each other by a significant distance. In the described arrangement, the fittings are radially directed outwardly and positioned at diametrally opposed points on the periphery of the drain. This provides a relatively large cross-section of flow path between fittings 58 and 52 in the event of blockage of the drain or grate and thus allows a rapid decrease in any vacuum that might be drawn within the drain under such conditions. This large cross-sectional area path also minimizes the possibility of blockage of the flow path within the drain between fittings 58 and 52, thus further enhancing the reliability of this safety system even though the by-pass 68 provides a redundant or parallel path between fittings 58 and 52. Fitting 58 alternatively may be connected to the drain bottom.
It is found that mere connection of a vent conduit to the suction line of the pump will disable the recirculation system since, as in a conventional skimmer having its intake above the main water level, the pump will rapidly extract all water from the vent conduit and thereupon start drawing air instead of water. Surprisingly and unexpectedly, the vent conduit, when connected as shown and described in this application, does not disable the pump, whether or not the by-pass line 68 is employed.
It is postulated that connection of a vent line directly to the pump suction line establishes a venturi effect at such connection which then supplies air to the pump intake to disable recirculation.
In the illustrated vent connection, on the other hand, several factors may possibly contribute to the unexpected and surprising result of retention of water in the vent conduit during normal recirculation of water via the drain. These factors may diminish a venturi effect by decreasing flow of velocity of water past the lowermost end of the vent conduit. The area of the drain is relatively large and therefore flow velocity through the drain is relatively small. The vent conduit has a separate connection to the drain and is not merely connected to the suction line. Fitting 58 is smaller than fitting 52. Further, to the extent that water flows from the drain via "T" 72 and the by-pass conduit, there is a lesser flow and more resistance to flow of water from the vent conduit to the pump suction line.
Illustrated in FIG. 4 is a modified version of the grate or drain cover 40 shown in detail in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 4, grate 80 includes an apertured lid or plate 82 of a horizontal configuration similar to that of the drain, which in this case is circular. However, the lid covers a greater area, having a diameter considerably greater than the diameter of the drain. Inwardly of the edges of plate 82 is a downwardly projecting annular grate support 84 that is adapted to rest upon the shoulder 44 of rim 36 to support and secure the grate to the rim and, further, to space the lid 82 above the open top of the drain. Screws extending through the lid 82 and screws extending through the rim into the drain fixedly secure the grate to the drain and to the spa bottom.
The grate has a peripheral downwardly projecting flange 86 formed integrally therewith. The flange has a lower edge in contact with or spaced just above the bottom of the spa at points positioned considerably outwardly of the drain itself. Flange 86 is formed with a number of passages to permit flow of water radially of the grate through the flange along the bottom of the spa and below the lid 82 and thence into the drain. Although these passages may be provided as a number of peripherally spaced apertures extending through the flange, it is convenient to form the bottom edge of the flange in an irregular form, such as with a plurality of recesses or slots 88, or as a scalloped edge, to thereby define a plurality of radially directed water flow passages between the flange and the spa bottom. These peripheral passages are in addition to the apertures formed in the horizontally extending central portion of the lid, which apertures are similar to those illustrated in FIG. 3.
Integrally formed with and depending from a central portion of the lid 82 is a pedestal 90 having a lower end 92 that is positioned closely adjacent to but spaced above the bottom of the drain. A plurality of strengthening gussets 94 are formed integrally with the pedestal and lid, extending radially outwardly from the pedestal to further strengthen the grate. Thus the grate may deflect for a small distance, such as 3/16ths of an inch for example, until the bottom of the pedestal contacts the drain bottom whereupon the central portion of the lid acquires a strong support to prevent further deflection and decrease the possibility of breakage of the grate.
The relatively great extent of the grate and the location of input passages about its periphery, provide a plurality of input passages grouped in a pattern that minimizes the possibility that all of these will be blocked at one time. Thus this particular grate configuration provides a further redundant safety feature to still further minimize the possibility of buildup of a dangerous suction within the drain.
The described safety venting of the drain is effective and reliable. Redundant features are employed so that although likelihood of certain failure modes are minimized by the design, the occurrence of such failures will not render the safety system inoperable. The system is of the utmost simplicity, involving no electrical, electro-mechanical, or other moving parts, and thus will exhibit high reliability over a long life of operation in a highly corrosive environment.
The foregoing detailed description is to be clearly understood as given by way of illustration and example only, the spirit and scope of this invention being limited solely by the appended claims.
