The Egyptian Revolution May Produce a Lebanon-Type Islamic Regime
No one can confidently predict the outcome, both short and long term, of the events now unfolding on the streets of Cairo and Alexandria. One is reminded of Zhou Enlai's answer to the question whether the French Revolution succeeded: "It's too soon to say." The short time outcome in Egypt may be the introduction of some structural democracy in the form of fairer elections. But the real test will be whether structural improvements will bring about real functional democracy—freedom of speech, assembly, press, religion and dissent. This will take more time to assess. There are models for good outcomes, bad outcomes, as well as for in-between results. The paradigmatic horrible outcome was, of course, the structural democratic election of 1932 in Germany which brought to office Adolf Hitler who quickly ended any semblance of functional democracy. An in-between result is the Philippines, where there is more democracy than under the previous dictatorship, but not nearly as much as there should be. The good outcomes have mostly been in Europe, following the fall of the Soviet Union. The Mubarak administrations has always conjured up the spectre of an Iranian style Khomeini result, in order to frighten those who wanted to replace him. Now Mubarak's critic, as well as many in the media, have challenged this straw man, pointing out the considerable differences between current Egypt and Iran 40 years ago. They are right. Iran is not an appropriate analogy. But neither is the Philippines nor the Czech Republic. The closest analogy may be Lebanon. Both Egypt and Lebanon have strong middle classes. They both have influential Christian minorities. They both have secular traditions. And they both have a well organized and well funded radical Islamic group vying for power and determined to turn the country into an Islamic theocracy. There are important differences as well. The Egyptian army is strong, while Lebanon's is weak. And the Lebanese Islamic group has a strong militia, armed and financed by Iran, whereas the Muslim Brotherhood has little military support behind it—at least at the moment. But it is allied with Hamas, which is right across the porous border with Gaza. The following scenario is possible, if not likely. Mubarak will leave. Someone like Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel Laureate who ran the International Atomic Energy Agency, will serve as an interim leader. He is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, and, in turn, he has said nice things about the Brotherhood. On Sunday, he told Fareed Zakaria the following: This Pollyannaish description of the Muslim Brotherhood is misleading and incomplete at best and totally unrealistic at worst. The Muslim Brotherhood is a violent, radical group with roots in Nazism and an uncompromising commitment to end the cold peace with Israel and replace it with a hot war of destruction. Its very name undercuts ElBaradei claims that "every Egyptian has the same rights" and that "the state in no way will be based on religion." Christians, women, secularists and other dissenters will not have the same rights as Muslim men. Right now the Brotherhood "are a minority," but they are the largest and best organized minority, and they don't play by the rules of democracy, using assassination and threats of violence to coerce support. ElBaradei is their perfect stalking horse—well respected, moderate and compliant. He will put together a government in which the Brotherhood begins as kingmaker and ends up as king. This will not produce functional democracy. Nor will it preserve peace in the region. The first casualty may well be the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority will be emboldened by the prospect of a powerful military ally on Israel's border. The Israelis will be reluctant to surrender any more territory if they can no longer count on peace with Egypt (and perhaps with Jordan). The second casualty will be religious freedom for Egyptians, particularly Christians, but also secularists. I have visited Egypt on several occasions, most recently a few months ago. Compared to other repressive dictatorships I have visited over the years, it was a 5 or 6 on a scale of 10 for the average Egyptian. The hard question is will it get better or worse. "It's too soon to say." My best guess is that it will get better for some and worse for others.

PhiladelphiaThe campus of historic Girard College in north Philadelphia contains a number of impressive marble edifices, penned in by a high iron fence that separates it from the rundown neighborhood. Stephen Girard, a French immigrant who fortuitously arrived here in May 1776, was said to be America's wealthiest man when he died in 1831. He bequeathed his estate to found the college, which had the admirable goal of educating fatherless boys along with the unfortunate stipulation that those children be white. After decades of litigation and numerous protests—Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at the gates in 1965—the college accepted its first black student in 1968. Now Girard's student body is predominantly black.
If Girard is a monument to the city's racial progress, that makes it an odd place for the city government to launch a racial inquisition—an investigation of Philadelphia magazine for the crime of journalism.
On April 18, the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission held a meeting to examine the controversy surrounding Philadelphia's March cover story, "Being White in Philly." The author, Robert Huber, went around the Fairmount and Brewerytown neighborhoods near Girard and asked all manner of white people about racial tensions in these gentrifying areas of North Philly. The piece was by no means flattering to white people. Huber quoted them doing everything from using the n-word to wrestling with their consciences for failing to help 12-year-old black children selling drugs in their neighborhood. The article wasn't above criticism, and Huber himself seemed abundantly aware of this. "When I drive through North Philly to visit my son, I continue to feel both profoundly sad and a blind desire to escape. Though I wonder: Am I allowed to say even that?" he wrote.
The answer to Huber's question, said Mayor Michael Nutter, is an emphatic "no." Nutter released the following statement:
I therefore request that the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations . . . consider specifically whether Philadelphia magazine and the writer, Bob Huber, are appropriate for rebuke by the Commission in light of the potentially inflammatory effect and the reckless endangerment to Philadelphia's racial relations possibly caused by the essay's unsubstantiated assertions. . . . The First Amendment, like other constitutional rights, is not an unfettered right, and notwithstanding the First Amendment, a publisher has a duty to the public to exercise its role in a responsible way. I ask the Commission to evaluate whether the "speech" employed in this essay is not the reckless equivalent of "shouting 'fire!' in a crowded theater," its prejudiced, fact-challenged generalizations an incitement to extreme reaction.
There are many stories that the national media find uninteresting. One of them, surprisingly, turns out to be the mayor of a major city ordering an investigation of a city magazine for its political content. The Philadelphia Human Relations Commission has broad authority to investigate various complaints and impose penalties. Even if the city's actions are blatantly unconstitutional, costly administrative proceedings can tie up accused offenders for years (see "The Sensitivity Apparat," February 4, 2013).
Philadelphia's Human Relations Commission has an illustrious history. It was the first body of its kind in the country, founded in 1951, and was at the center of helping resolve the city's considerable racial tensions through the '60s and early '70s. In the late '80s, the commission pushed the city for ordinances protecting gays. But the justification for the commission's existence has been fuzzy for decades. The commission's slick PowerPoint presentation blandly states that "in the '90s the PHRC continued to hold hearings."
In fact, the commission has been defining discrimination down for years. It spent over a year determining that the owner of Geno's Steaks violated no laws with a sign asking customers to speak English. It crusaded against the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority for transgender discrimination because riders must check whether they are male or female on their ironically named "transpasses." The commission has also been enforcing a city law forbidding employers from asking job applicants about their criminal records.
And now it's going after Philadelphia. To its credit, the magazine isn't playing along. A few days before the April 18 meeting, Philadelphia editor Tom McGrath sent the Human Relations Commission a polite letter informing them that the magazine would skip the meeting. (McGrath had already moderated a discussion with Huber and critics at the National Constitution Center.)

Fruits of Justification
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (v. 1).
- Romans 5:1–11God had declared us righteous in His court, not on the basis of anything we have done, but solely on the basis of what His Son has done for us. In Romans 5, Paul highlights for his readers some of the most important results of this legal justification.
First, we have peace with God (v. 1). We were engaged in battle with God, and God was at war with us. Now, however, there is a cessation of hostilities. The war is over, and we have lost it. We realize that God is an enemy who loves His enemies. He was at war with us, but seeking our welfare all along. We are glad that He has won, and is now at peace with us.
Second, we have access to God (v. 2). God's warfare with sinners in the Old Testament meant that cherubim with flaming swords kept men away from His presence in the Garden of Eden. It meant that there were many curtains and walls between Him and His people in the tabernacle and temple, barriers that it was death to transgress. Now, however, the veil of the temple has been ripped in half from top to bottom, signifying that at last a man has been given access to God, because at last God is at peace with a man. In union with the man,Jesus Christ, we must also have peace with and access to God.
Third, this access to God is access to a place to stand (v. 2). The book of Revelation pictures this standing place as a sea of crystal before God's throne (Revelation 4:6; 15:2). Our standing place is in heaven, and we stand upon the firmament itself, always watched by God our Father. As Christians we can have complete confidence in God and His covenant. We can have complete assurance that we are His, and that He will take care of us. Because we have this firm place to stand, we can act boldly and without fear for the sake of the kingdom of God.
Fourth, we can rejoice in hope. We think of hope as a wish, as when we hope our favorite ball team will win the pennant. Biblically speaking, however, hope is a sure and certain confidence in the future. We are absolutely certain that we shall participate in the glory of God in the resurrection. We have seen the future, and it is ours because it is God's and we are His.
Coram Deo
Rejoicing in the hope of the glory of God is not just some inward attitude. It means that the community of the saints actively praises God in worship. Through the Spirit, the church stands on the sea of glass before God's throne and praises Him. Consider Romans 5:1–2 as it relates to worship as you prepare to go to church this Lord's Day.

Encoder Products Company Receives U.S. Small Business Administration Award
Encoder Products Company recently was presented the 2012 Administrator's Award for Excellence by the U.S. Small Business Administration for its work as a defense aerospace subcontractor.
Sagle, Idaho (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
Encoder Products Company (EPC) recently was presented the 2012 Administrator's Award for Excellence by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The award is given in recognition of outstanding contribution and service to the nation by a small business in satisfying the needs of the Federal procurement system. SBA official James A. Gambardella, Director of the Office of Government Contracting Area VI, noted that the award is a "prestigious honor" and acknowledges EPC as being "..one of our nation's outstanding small businesses in 2012."
The SBA award review process was initiated by one of EPC's customers, Raytheon Company, which nominated EPC for special recognition for its performance as a small business subcontractor. In support of a defense aerospace project involving rotary encoders, EPC provided Raytheon with a wide range of engineering and technical expertise. "Our optical encoder technology was a core competency that Raytheon found very attractive early on," says John Meschko, Chief Technology Officer for EPC. He adds, "As the project matured, our Custom Solutions Group worked very closely with Raytheon's staff to develop, qualify and integrate several product performance, manufacturing and testing capabilities specific to their product."
Raytheon Company, with 2012 sales of $24 billion, is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, security and civil markets throughout the world. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 68,000 people worldwide.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent agency of the federal government created to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small businesses. Certain manufacturers with 500 or fewer employees may be classified as small business by the SBA.
Encoder Products Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of incremental and absolute rotary encoders. EPC's products are highly regarded for their quality and innovative design features and are used throughout a wide range of industries including aerospace, industrial machinery, mobile equipment and many others. Established in 1969, the company has manufacturing divisions in the USA, Europe and Asia, with the Americas Division and corporate headquarters located in Sagle, Idaho.

Sometimes you don't need a guy to kiss you or date you. You don't even need him to wine and dine you (although, a cocktail or two is appreciated). Sometimes, a little bit of comfort and conversation goes a long way. You just need someone who listens to you, notices you, flatters you, asks you to dance, and makes sure you have money to get home safely.
Maybe he wanted more. Most likely he did. But he didn't push too hard, or make things uncomfortable. And then the next day, he sends you a bouquet of flowers so you can become the envy of the office again.
Don did that for Joan.
25 Responses to "The Perfect Flirtation"
And it was a perfect date. One of my favorite scenes ever. Whenever Don and Joan have a scene with just the two of them, it's magic. More please Mr. Weiner. Good commentary of a beautiful moment. Thanks.
100% YES Therese and thanks for the post MC!
I posted on another thread… as disappointed as I have been with this season overall, "Christmas Waltz" has renewed my faith and the more I think about it; this scene may be my favorite of the series.
I will no doubt buy Season 5 on BluRay, if for no other reason than to have this scene. Honesty, friendship, flirting, compassion….all oooozing with sexual overtone. What a recipe!!!
Sad, but how many DD and Joanie alone together scenes have there been? Four? Three? Emergency room in Guy Walks…….. Meditations scene when DD finally returned from Cali and our Joanie was getting him up to speed as she was his secretary. Ummm……what else? Man, you've got to savor it when this happens. Unfortunately, I think MW has given us our allotted fill for the season. #%&*$%&
You're right, those scenes are few and far between. I can't think of many beyond the ones you've already mentioned.
Yes! You pinpointed exactly why I literally squealed and sighed when the scene was over….there is NOTHING like a great flirtation – especially when both parties know it will go nowhere. I am stunned by all the people who would like to see Don and Joan get together – besides for the prurient novelty of such perfect specimens of sexiness paired up, they are just not supposed to get together. They are just a delight to watch together doing the one thing they both do perfectly and naturally, flirting, seducing, making the object of their attention melt. It's like ballroom dancing or figure skating pairs….they look so beautiful together, execute their craft together, but it doesn't matter one bit that they're married to other people off the stage – their brilliance is in the moment.
"…there is NOTHING like a great flirtation – especially when both parties know it will go nowhere."
Seems like a dangerous game. How does one assure that it will go nowhere?
too true…
I truly loved this scene and have watched it more times than I care to admit but I did not think he wanted more from Joan. And after her Megan is perfect reference, I dont think she was expecting it from him either. Am I wrong?
in the comment about Megan being perfect – I think Joan was just saying to Don what he wanted to hear. I believe she was being a little sarcastic without him knowing. We have heard how she feels about the couple when she has talked to Peggy about it. Also, when he says "I think the offiece misses Megan" Joan pauses – she does not agree with him, she makes a joke about how she should have kept her on as a recepectionst.
I so agree – this is one of my all time favorite scenes – and keeping it to flirting is wise. They would be just too hot not to cool down real fast. thaks for the post
SR I saw it same we you did. Nicely summed uo Mad Chick. I reflected on this scene many times this week. one of my all time favorites. Beautifully written and brilliantly acted. A total joy.
SR, I don't think Don was consciously wanting more from that afternoon. But, I do think Joan was wise to discourage the dancing, especially since he had "that look" on his face. She knows all too well how quickly things can change from flirtation to more. I think she just didn't want to risk things going too far, and I agree with her that it's easy for that to happen. (I think if she hadn't been so quick to stop it, he might have just let whatever happened, happen, because he's done it many times!)
It was just nice to see them together–as others mentioned, the Don-Joan interactions (just those two alone in a scene) are far too rare.
Mad Chick, you nailed it. The chemistry of the writing, the characters' history, and superb acting…SWOON!
Thanks, Cynthia (and everyone)–I think the fact that we rarely get to see these two together (alone) makes it even more pleasurable when we do. I wasn't expecting this little scene from the episode, and it was really nice to get it.
I think that's what makes this show perfect…it doesn't do the obvious thing that would've occurred on, say, Grey's Anatomy of having them sleep together.
Would have been perfect if he called his wife and told her what he was doing.
"It's a perfect example of how some people think marriage is a joke." – Joan Holloway
The definition of flirtation is to behave amorously WITHOUT SERIOUS INTENT, a casual involvement without commitment, or a brief involvement.
My question about FLIRTATION has been how does each party know the parameters when it appears there are no pre-set rules? In other words did both Don and Joan flirt with each other feeling that they knew each other so well and the point that could not be crossed?
If this is what happened this tells us a lot more about how the characters feel about each other, that they feel more comfortable around one another when there are pre-set boundaries of behavior and never want that circle of comfort to be breached.
I think what you said about how they know each other well, and that they know the limits is 100% accurate. They just know.
Well, that's because he only likes the beginings.
Great scene, probably my favourite of the season.-
The lit up xmas tree in the background and Doris Day on the juke box also provided a little extra poignancy.
Betcha this fictional guy is a fantastic ball room dancer, has spectacular fashion sense and unmatched culinary skills. You can't always get what you want. But you find sometimes, you get what you need.
"Betcha this fictional guy is a fantastic ball room dancer, has spectacular fashion sense and unmatched culinary skills"
That was actually my impression.
After watching last night's episode, 'The Other Woman', did anyone else besides me see the attraction to Joan that remained with Don?
yes, and vice versa!
Yup, definitely. Does anyone think their relationship has sort of surpassed the Peggy/Don "work wife" thing, given his treatment of her and Peggy's departure? And… as such would it be wishful thinking to see a relationship on the horizon??
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Printer had a paper jam - now alignment is out and paper keeps jamming?!

Hi everyone - sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place - if I have, maybe you could guide me to the correct one.
I have an Epson Stylus SX515W and the other day a paper jam occurred. The only way to fix it was to pull the paper back out the way it came in as there wasn't enough paper to grasp it and pull it out the way it should have come. Anyway, since then, it just won't print anything as it keeps saying the paper is jammed and you can hear the printer "knocking" as it moves from left to right. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it broken? (It's not even like its really old and we haven't really used it that much).
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Windows Test Sheet? will probably give the same result. If it does give the same result, it would confirm a hardware fault in the printer.
With the printer disconnected from the mains have you tried running the ink unit along the track manually, being particularly careful to make sure that the action is smooth both ways, with no sensation of a trip or a snag along the path?
These are simple tests which may not make any difference except to rule out or at best show up some mechanical bother.
When it comes to dismantling, Epson make it difficult just to keep fiddling fingers out! The case on my old 870 needs a wealth of wooden sticks to wedge the plastic clips open until the case can be prised off.

Hi everyone and thanks for your replies. Yes I have discovered they make it pretty impossible to open it yourself so that option has fallen flat on its behind. I have also run the cartridge section along the track and it appears to run smoothly. I have been trying to do the realignment of the heads, but it keeps getting interrupted by the printer saying it had a paper jam and that I had to switch it off, remove the paper, then switch it back on (by which time I had to restart the alignment!!!!). Interestingly, it will now print the initial realignment first sheet without stopping halfway through due to a "paper jam", but now typically it won't print because my Magenta ink has run out (grrrr). I therefore can't try anything else until my new ink arrives (double grrrr).
I'm not sure how to run a Windows Test Sheet - but I will certainly look into it and do it when up and running.
Annoyingly, we haven't used the entire printer/scanner/copier hardly at all - and we only got it in June 2010. I can't believe that one single paper jam can break a printer!
As you have said, they're not overly dear these days, but considering its only a year-and-a-half old, I didn't expect to need to buy a new one because of this.
Thanks again for your help.

Easy to say when it's not my problem, so in my imagination some delicate limit switch has been damaged by an unlucky pull at the paper (creased or strengthened by a fold) and now one of these is jammed open or shut and all you get is an error message.
I think you would be lucky to find the errant part even if you adopt a try it and see I've nothing to lose--- sort of approach.
Your printer doesn't even look like mine, but the same sort of click-fit case is very likely. Much easier to assemble than dismantle... but have a look underneath and near the edge of the base, there may be several slots at intervals where a sharp screwdriver can push a hook-like tag away. If there are such places then cocktail stick sized pieces of wood can replace the screwdriver to keep the catch open when you move on to the next...... More modern cases may have a fit-once approach and there you are truly stuck! Enjoy your Christmas.

If you go down the avenue of dismantling the printer be aware that if you turn it upside down, which you may have to do to access the clips, that the inkpad, where the printhead rests, may be full of ink which can go EVERWHERE as I found out to my cost some years ago. Have plenty of newspaper to hand plus make sure that the ink contained in that pad does not stray elsewhere within the printer itself. I spent nearly a full day cleaning up after turning it over unwittingly.

That is probably the hardest question in weight control because we are all different sizes with different activities. Just rememeber if you are working out pretty hard or regular and eating right, your weight loss/maintenance may carry on for two or 3 weeks and it will look as if you are magically keeping off the weight. That is because it takes a few weeks for your body to switch gears: this is why it takes a few weeks to get into weight loss mode when you start a great plan. It is a slow start, but you reap the benefits when you slack off or get injured: your body is still burning at a high rate. With that said, it is merely trial and error to know how many calories you need. There are several calorie-requirment computers online that take weight/activity factors into account and tell you how many calories to eat a day. Basically, if you are truly hungry, you need more food/calories. But only you know the real deal. Wish I could be more helpful. Just adjust your intake for a week or so and see how it goes (while keeping your activity steady) |

As a follow-up to last weeks letter concerning the budget woes of the Summit Stage, I'd like to offer a suggestion to the Transit Board and County Commissioners: a twenty-five cent service charge added to every ski area lift ticket sold in Summit County for an account for Summit Stage. Just $.25 on every lift ticket would add up to $250,000 for every million tickets, but would add less then 1 percent to the cost of every ticket over $25 (and when was the last time anyone paid just $25 for a lift ticket?). For a single all-day adult ticket which runs over $100, this-$.25 fee is just one-quarter of one percent, .25 percent. That's miniscule. And for all the benefits the ski areas reap from the bus service, both for their guests and employees, this fee is warranted. People routinely pay service fees for tickets to concerts and sporting events. Ski areas routinely raise the prices of their lift tickets every year. A $.25 service fee wouldn't even be noticed by the purchaser. So buck up, Breckenridge. Kick in, Keystone. Contribute, Copper, and ante up A-Basin. Get on the bus.

Pillsbury Artisan Pizza & a GIVEAWAY!
I love pizza. I mean, really.love.pizza. It makes a great meal for my family too, b/c it can be easily diversified to suit everyone's picky taste buds. (No sauce for Number One, Light Sauce for Miss Two, only cheese for Mr. Three....you get the point.) Also, when made from scratch, I can control the ingredients, making healthier choices for the fam than if we were to order pizza out. (Such as 2% cheeses, turkey pepperoni, chicken sausage, whole grain crust, etc) The only hard part I have found is making homemade dough. It's not hard, but it takes prep time, therefore making it a meal that I have to plan for - not suddenly decide last minute to make.
HOWEVER, Pillsbury has changed all that! Since I prefer to use whole grains when making my pizza dough, I rarely buy the premade or refrigerated pizza crusts. But now, Pillsbury has come out with Artisan Pizza Crusts with Whole grains! Whole grain pizza dough, ready to go! It contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving, and is available in the same area as the crescent rolls, biscuits, etc. It is so easy to use, that my 11 year old had no trouble spreading the dough out. You just pop open a can, spread it out to desired thickness (you could make a deep dish or spread it out a lot to make a large thin crust).
We made 2 pizzas...one customized for the kids and one for me and the hubs. I thought we would have leftovers since each can made a good size pizza crust...but I was wrong. We ate it ALL! Everyone loved the crust...that's a 5 out of 5 approval rating...that rarely happens in the Mo'Betta house!
Yum. I wish I had this right now. Fresh basil is crazy good on pizza.
To try this immediately, go HERE and download a printable coupon for $1.25 off.
I am also hosting a giveaway for the following prize pack....

To cut a long story short, the advent of carbide as an effective cutting tool material caused HSS to become continuously less popular as a tool material. When appropriate, tool designers developed tool bodies to accept throwaway carbide inserts and enable machining with carbide cutting edges while reducing tool costs. But HSS' bend-strength toughness compared to carbide's harder and more brittle characteristics still offers advantages in some applications, and rather than always applying solid-HSS tools, the same bodies for carbide inserts accept HSS ones as well.
Interrupted cutting is one area where HSS offers an advantage, according to Ken King, CEO of THINBIT/Kaiser Tool Co. Inc., Ft. Wayne, Ind. The toolmaker offers standard HSS inserts for grooving, face grooving, threading and parting, as well as specials. Compared to carbide, "high-speed steel will take a lot more abuse as far as flexing and interrupted cuts," he said. "If you do crash high-speed steel, sometimes you'll see the inserts are actually bent or flexed. You can use that to your advantage if the application is so bad that you require the tool to bend a little bit."
Parting is performed using a HSS insert from THINBIT.
Harder tool materials, such as carbide, don't like to bend. King used the analogy of glass and wood to compare and contrast the material properties of carbide and HSS. "You're not going to bend a piece of glass; it's going to break and shatter," he said. "Whereas wood will shatter eventually, it will bend more than glass."
Cutters tooled with HSS inserts are also suitable when machining with less-than-optimal rigidity. "High-speed steel inserts are for machining at a lower cutting speed where high toughness is required for application under unfavorable machining conditions," said Hellmut R. Ross, president of Arno Rouse USA LLC, Harvard, Ill., which supplies HSS inserts among other tools. "I wouldn't say the machine, but the setup might not be that rigid."
Once upon a time, HSS tools were applied for "high-speed machining," but that's no longer the case. In applications where carbide inserts are able to run at 300 sfm, the recommended cutting speed for HSS inserts is about 60 sfm, according to Mike Warner, president of Arthur R. Warner Co., Latrobe, Pa., which specializes in producing HSS inserts. "High-speed steel should be called slow-speed steel, but it's amazing some of the speeds you can run," he said. "We have some high-speed steel in applications running up to 125 sfm with coatings."
Warner added that when a machine tool, particularly an older one, does not have an adequate spindle speed to achieve the required surface footage to cut efficiently with carbide, HSS is the material of choice. "You have to slow down a little bit but your tool is going to last a lot longer and you're going to get more parts per tool," he said, adding that the chip load can be larger when cutting with HSS inserts vs. carbide inserts.
King concurred that HSS inserts cut slower relative to the same workpiece material. For example, HSS inserts can machine Teflon, or polytetrafluoroethylene, at 250 sfm with a 0.003-ipr feed rate compared to 400 sfm with a 0.003 ipr for carbide inserts, according to THINBIT. For one Teflon application, THINBIT engineered a special HSS insert design with a 60° top rake. "That gives a huge upsharp angle to help peel the Teflon away," King said.
Ross noted that the lower machining parameters for HSS inserts, which he estimated are about half of the recommended parameters for carbide, make them suitable for machining plastics. Other suitable workpiece materials include aluminum, wrought and cast alloys, nickel alloys, copper, brass, bronze "and the outside skin on a forged part, which is really difficult to machine," he said.
Jennifer Warner, vice president of operations for Arthur R. Warner Co. (above), examines a HSS insert turning kit, containing five CCMW-3-2.5-2 screw-on, 7° positive, 0.031 " radius inserts; left- and right-hand ½ "-shank tool bodies; insert screws; and a wrench. The left-hand tool body has two pockets, with the second one providing a 50° side-cutting edge angle. Top photo: A selection of the company's application-specific HSS special inserts.
Plastics are difficult to cut because they are typically gummy and tend to melt, burn and adhere to the cutting tool. HSS' toughness enables toolmakers to produce inserts with a keen edge that has minimal edge preparation to reduce heat and friction at the tool/workpiece interface. "It's a razor sharp cutting edge," Ross said.
Warner explained that the depth of an edge preparation, such as a T- or K-land, on a carbide insert equals the minimum DOC the insert can effectively take. "If it's an 0.008 " hone on an insert, you can't take a 0.006 " depth of cut," he said. "It would generate so much heat that your tool life would deteriorate."
Although edge preps to minimize chipping aren't required on HSS inserts, the inserts can have chipbreakers to enhance chip control. "Our standard chipbreaker is a 10°, 0.090 " effective-width chipbreaker, which 90 percent of the time will work sufficiently," Warner said.
He added that, in addition to controlling chip size and the direction chips travel, the chipbreaker creates a double-positive cutting configuration to reduce heat at the tool/workpiece interface and impart a finer surface finish. As previously noted, tool bodies that accept carbide inserts also hold HSS ones, but not all bodies will work equally well. "A lot of people will buy a high-speed steel insert and put it into a negative carbide holder and it won't work," Warner said. "We watch that very closely whenever we're matching high-speed steel to holders for carbide inserts."

Because many carbide inserts have a negative clearance on the insert's periphery, Warner noted that when end users position the insert 7° forward to provide relief on the insert edge, but without a chipbreaker, it creates a negative cutting configuration on the top. That generates a lot of heat and—like carbide—heat is no friend to HSS.
Sometimes, it's beneficial to put carbide and HSS inserts into the same tool body, such as a combination cutter for turning a 12 "-dia. part that requires its center to be bored. "On older machines, you can't change the machine's rpm during a cut, so the OD of that part has the correct surface feet for carbide but the middle of the part is hardly turning," Warner said. "They will use high-speed steel in the middle and carbide on the outside."
When coated, the coating must be deposited at a temperature that's not too high to temper HSS, which causes it to loose its hardness. Therefore, HSS inserts must be PVD coated, where the deposition process takes place at 350° to 900° F compared to 1,800° to 2,000° F for the CVD process. The same coatings found on carbide inserts, such as TiN, TiCN and AlTiN, are available on HSS inserts. Although coated HSS inserts can cut at higher speeds and feeds than uncoated ones, Warner noted that only a small percentage of the HSS inserts his company sells are coated. "Shops don't try high-speed steel unless they're having a particular problem with carbide and usually 10 uncoated inserts gets them out of the problem," he said. "Eighty percent of my customers buy fewer than 50 inserts."
Warner added that if a customer needs more HSS inserts beyond the initial order, the subsequent ones are typically coated. For example, one of his customers was having a problem milling plastics with carbide and found that a HSS insert worked well. "In the next go-around, we coated it and it worked extremely well, so now that company regularly buys coated high-speed steel inserts," he said.
Warner pointed out that HSS inserts are effective for cutting gummy and workhardening materials because "HSS actually cuts the material where carbide is meant to fracture it in front of the cut." He added that, in some applications, HSS is able to impart a finer surface finish than carbide. "High-speed steel cuts it; it doesn't tear it."

To enhance HSS' toughness while increasing its hardness, HSS producer Erasteel Inc., Boonton, N.J., is producing P/M HSS with higher alloy content, according to Oscar Lundvall, the company's business developer. That includes alloying the material with niobium, such as for Erasteel's ASP 2055-grade P/M HSS with about 2 percent niobium. "The powder steel is very homogenous in its structure, but with the niobium alloying we achieve even finer dispersion of carbides, which gives us a material that is even tougher than a similar steel without niobium," he said. "It is easier to grind and produce a surface finish that is much finer than ordinary P/M steel."
Other alloying elements in HSS include chromium, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum and cobalt. Unlike cemented tungsten carbide, cobalt is not used as a binder in HSS but rather as an alloying element that's melted with the base steel and other elements and then atomized into the finished composition. "You're not mixing powders like with tungsten carbide," Lundvall said. "It's a totally different process."
Lundvall noted that applications exist where HSS, in general, outperforms carbide because HSS' higher toughness is more forgiving and its sharper cutting edges prove more effective. "One good area is milling high-strength titanium, such as the new titanium 555-3 alloy where we've seen some spectacular results with a coated high-cobalt ASP 2060 special endmill compared to carbides," he said.
HSS also has the advantage of costing less than carbide, but that doesn't necessarily translate into HSS inserts costing less than comparable carbide ones. Arno Rouse offers a TiN-coated carbide TCFT insert for $10 and the same one made of HSS is $37.35. "You have to get a lot more parts to justify that," Ross said.
THINBIT, however, charges the same price for its standard HSS and carbide inserts, according to King, even though producing HSS ones requires a longer cycle time. He noted that all THINBIT HSS inserts are made of M-2 conventional HSS.
A comparison of the toughness (as measured in bend strength) and hardness for Erasteel's ASP-grade P/M HSS, conventional tool steel (CWT), conventional HSS and cemented carbide.
Arthur R. Warner doesn't offer carbide inserts, but Warner said its HSS inserts range from $4 to about $15, depending on type and quantity. As a comparison, he noted that a high-quality TNMC32NV carbide threading insert costs about $7. "Ours are $12, but there are 38 operations on that insert to make it and it will last a lot longer than carbide in quite a few applications," Warner said. He added that at least until 2 years ago, his research indicated that 30 percent of milling in the U.S. is still performed with HSS tools, including inserts and round tools.
Recently, cutting tool sales have been down across the board, but King indicated there's a fairly healthy demand for HSS inserts. "When we add new products, we consider whether to offer it in high-speed steel or not," he said. "It's a material we still consider active and not obsolete or discontinued. We know it solves problems for people." CTE
Similar to producing HSS, making HSS inserts is significantly different from producing carbide ones, which start as a powder that's sintered into shape. "They press a carbide insert and—bang—they got the hole, the chipbreaker and everything they need right there," said Arthur R. Warner Co.'s Mike Warner.
He explained that his company starts with a sheet of HSS and uses an abrasive waterjet machine to create insert profiles. For the 90 percent of the inserts that are held with screws, the toolmaker then drills a hole and creates a countersink for the setscrew. Finishing involves grinding all surfaces.
Arthur R. Warner Co. waterjet machines a 35° triangle, T-15 HSS insert blank.
When finishing the periphery of screw-on inserts, Warner said the company locates the periphery off of the countersink instead of the hole to ensure accuracy. "The hole is not what centers the insert in the pocket, the countersink is," he said.
Not only do HSS inserts run slower in a machine tool, they take longer to grind than carbide ones. Ken King of THINBIT/Kaiser Tool Co. Inc. said that's because a grinding wheel appropriate for HSS tends to push the insert as it is grinding. "You have to cut a little slower so the insert won't flex away from the wheel and leave material you wanted to remove," he said.
Even with the highest-quality HSS, toolmakers have to be cautious when grinding the material—especially finish grinding—to produce good tools, according to Oscar Lundvall of Erasteel Inc. "If you do a bad grinding operation, you'll have big scratches or grinding burn on the surface and that'll work as a defect, so it might break," he said, adding that the same applies to making carbide tools.

Topic: U.S.-Taliban negotiations
Taliban Exploits Grief of U.S. POW Family
The hearts of all Americans go out to the family of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the only known U.S. soldier being held captive by the Taliban. Bergdahl was captured by the enemy in June 2009 and is thought to be in the control of the Haqqani network in the tribal areas of northwestern Pakistan. He has never been allowed to send his parents any word nor has he been visited by the Red Cross. He was last seen in a Taliban video, but U.S. officials believe he is still alive. But after years of keeping silent about the ongoing negotiations that the government has attempted to free him, the Bergdahl family went public today and discussed their son's plight with the New York Times. Their goal is to heighten the pressure on President Obama and his foreign policy team to give in to the demands of the Taliban on the release of prisoners held by the United States and our Afghan allies.
While their frustration with the slow pace of the negotiations is understandable, we can only hope the president will resist the pressure to give in to unreasonable demands not only on the prisoner exchange but concessions that would affect the future of Afghanistan. Though the United States should make every effort to secure Sergeant Bergdahl's safe return, his situation should not be used as a pretext for handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban and their terrorist allies.

Agree, and well said. They're both 90ish, with failing health, so really, ending up in a carehome together where I'm sure they're being well looked after is hardly the worst thing that can happen.

UT Arlington center to focus on homeland security enhancement
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Media Contact: Traci Peterson, Office:817-272-9208, Cell:817-521-5494, email@example.com
News Topics: business, education, engineering, liberal arts, physics, research, science
A new center at The University of Texas at Arlington will focus on using nanotechnology to strengthen and enhance U.S. security through collaborative research across disciplines.
The Security Advances Via Applied Nanotechnology, or SAVANT, Center will be home to projects already under way, including using nanoparticles to detect threats such as nuclear dirty bombs. It will also be a place to explore new concepts, such as using luminescent nanoparticles to prevent "friendly-fire" incidents in combat.
The collaboration will be primarily between the university's College of Engineering and College of Science. The UT Arlington College of Liberal Arts, the College of Business and the College of Education and Health Professions are also involved in planning future projects.
Organizers hope the new center will be recognized as a Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology Directorate Center of Excellence by 2020 and, by that time, garner grants and private industry funding of more than $10 million annually. Currently, the Department of Homeland Security has 12 Centers of Excellence at universities nationwide. They work with industry and first-responders to develop new technologies to enhance homeland security.
"Federal funding agencies have clearly indicated the need for increased innovation to address U.S. security issues at home and abroad. Research universities, especially like UT Arlington, have a significant and unique role to play," said Ronald Elsenbaumer, provost and vice president for academic affairs at UT Arlington.
Wei Chen, an associate professor of physics in the UT Arlington College of Science, will head the new center. Chen, along with physics professor Andrew Brandt, has received more than $1.9 million in federal grants to develop radiation detection devices using luminescent nanoparticles embedded in a polymer thin film.
"Our center will go beyond standard detection techniques, using newly-advanced, science-based breakthroughs," Chen said. "We will be looking to identify threats in a variety of arenas, including transportation hubs and other public gathering places, public infrastructure networks and the U.S. border."
Brandt and Erick Jones, an associate professor in UT Arlington's College of Engineering, will be deputy directors of the new center.
"The days when researchers across campus were restricted to their own silos of specialty are finished. If we are going to solve the complex problems, collaborations like this are essential," said J-P Bardet, dean of the College of Engineering.
Other ongoing or proposed projects include:
- The use of near-field RFID, or radio-frequency identification, sensing nanotechnology to detect, track, trace and locate threats, especially at the U.S. border.
- Developing nanoscale probes and sensors for use in water and food safety testing.
- Development of nanomedicine for treatment and prevention of radiation exposure or damage.
UT Arlington's North Texas location will be an asset to researchers' work, allowing them to team with the ultimate users of threat-detection services, such as entertainment venues, military contractors and airports. Supporting and training young investigators will also be a major task for the new center. Collaborations with other universities also are planned.
"We will work to ensure that our students have valuable research opportunities at every level," said Pamela Jansma, dean of the UT Arlington College of Science. "The wide array of projects proposed as part of the SAVANT center will enhance student experiences and help fuel security-based research in the future."
The Security Advances Via Applied Nanotechnology Center is part of the innovation under way at UT Arlington, a comprehensive research institution of more than 33,200 students and more than 2,200 faculty members in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
