Originally written on RealGM | Last updated 5/6/13
LeBron James shot 40.6 percent on three point attempts this season, which was easily the best mark of his career. James figured improving from the outside "could make me even more dynamic where guys couldn't just lay off of me and dare me to shoot." James put himself through difficult workouts in Akron in which he would run wind sprints for missing three-pointers. "I stayed in the gym twice a day, shooting threes, putting myself in pressure situations where if I don't make it I've got to run each and every time," James said, "and I became more comfortable." James also credited the presence of Ray Allen for improving his perimeter shooting. "Being around [Allen] every day and competing with him every day — as a competitor you hate losing, even though he's the greatest three-point shooter of all time in the regular season and playoff history. I hate losing, so to compete with him has helped me out a lot as well," James said.

No schedule
Comments (4)
What I'm trying to get to is, don't expect too much. Our babes have only been on the outside a few months. They still have needs that need to be met on their schedule and sometimes that need is simply comfort. We've been slowly introducing a bedtime routine of bath (when needed), pjs, snuggle time with a story, sound machine (womb w/ heartbeat) and nursing to sleep. I don't impose a bedtime, just follow his cues. It usually happens between 9 and 10 although he'll usually nap a bit around 6 or 7. My point is just our babes are very new to the outside world. It will take time for them to physically and psychologically develop to a place of reliable through the night routine. Also each child is different. My goodness, each day is different for us.
No, you're not alone. Yes, I'm exhausted and at times extremely frustrated. Trust your gut/instincts.
Hope that helps
3 months is probably a bit too early for a schedule, but at some point they will fall into it. We didn't impose any schedule whatsoever, just followed "cues," but our LO naturally organized herself into a schedule by 6 or 7 months, or maybe a bit earlier (hard to remember). Then I followed the rule of first nap one hour after waking up in the morning, and second nap two hours after waking up from first nap. That extended by an hour every month and a half or so. Makes more sense to give you example:
At 6 months old or so:
8 am wake up
9 am - 11am first nap
12 noon - 2pm second nap
Then...when she was, say 7 months old:
8 am wake up
10 am -12 noon first nap
3pm - 5pm second nap
We have just now moved to three hours and four hours awake between naps, and she is 10 months old. Her naps slowly got much longer but less frequent.
I think this looks confusing, but I promise it's not when you start doing it. And yes, it is exhausting at this stage and frustrating, but there isn't much you can do except try to get some help when you can so you can take some time off, rest, etc. Good luck!!
Honest Tales from Overseas
I've found that babies will establish their own schedule. I've just kindof gone with it. They tend to settle into a morning nap and afternoon nap around 5-6 monthes old or so. I've worn the baby alot and laid down with baby for naps and bedtime. We've got 5 lo's and it's never been a problem for us to not impose a schedule.

"I designed my save the dates for my south Carolina wedding and ordered them. The cane a lot sooner than exaoected and were wonderful :)"
"I used my own design for save the date magnets and was so happy with the outcome through Wedding Paper Divas. I had to call customer service a few times to speak with a customer service rep since everything wasn't fitting in the designated design area. They were more than accommodating and set me up with a designer in order to see a proof before ordering. Loved the outcome!!"
"I love the personalization of this card! Working with the design team to make my "Save the Dates" look the best, was easy and helpful."
"Exactly as expected - no surprises! Would recommend to anyone! I've already started receiving compliments on the save the dates."
"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."

Vandals offer birthday money to pay for repairs to Cumbrian church
Published at 08:13, Friday, 09 March 2012
Young boys who desecrated a church have offered to give up their birthday money to help pay for repairs.
Related: Cumbrian kids quizzed by police over church wrecking spree
There was heartbreak and anger in Brampton when it was discovered that gravestones had been pulled over and windows smashed at the historic place of worship – with children aged between six and 10 to blame.
Those responsible for the damage came face-to-face with those most affected by their crime at Brampton Old Church this week.
Police organised the meeting through a restorative justice scheme because the four youngsters are below the age of criminal responsibility.
People there said the children had clearly got the message about the impact of their crime.
Brampton Parish Council chairman Judith Pattinson said: "The parents were very upset and tearful and the children looked bewildered.
"They promised to give the money they had got for their birthdays towards the repairs.
"I thought the meeting was an appropriate way to handle the situation and if it means the community is brought closer, then that can only be beneficial."
The boys toppled gravestones, smashed windows and candlesticks and dragged a cross out of the church almost a fortnight ago. The total damage caused is thought to run into thousands of pounds.
Police believe the restorative justice programme is the most effective way to deal with cases where those responsible are below the age of criminal responsibility because it means they must meet those most affected by the crime. All of the boys responsible for the church damage live locally.
Brampton Preservation Trust, which owns the church but has no responsibility for the graveyard, may have to foot the bill for the damage.
It is understood that one of the boys told a relative what had happened and they then reported it.
In the aftermath of the vandalism, Mrs Pattinson said pupils from Brampton Primary School would carry out litter picks in Murray Park and Irthing Park to demonstrate that young people from the town do care about their community.

Let your hair shine! After a long winter of hats and sun deprivation, our hair was looking lifeless and dull. Thankfully, we got our hands on Bumble and Bumble's new Let It Shine collection, and we're amazed by the effect it had on our locks.
The shampoo and the conditioner spread easily through hair, so each strand is covered with the hydrating sunflower-seed-oil-and-lipid-blend formula. The shine-boosting products are safe to use on color-treated hair and don't strip away natural oils.
Once our hair was dry, we used the Shine On (and On . . . ) Finishing Spray to add even more luster. You can re-apply the glossing mist throughout the day to tame flyaways and keep hair moisturized.

Episode Reviews (4)
The Twenty Third Season Ends
A disappointing and predictable season of "Survior" ends with a surprise at the end. After Ozzy (Who despite his overconfidence deserved to win.) was voted out I believed that there was no way Coach could lose. It was a pleasant surprise to see the Dragon Slayer get slayed once again. I was surprised that the jury voted the way they did. Considering that many saw Coach as a father figure and being a veteran player they may have felt he was more deserving than the others. That just shows how much I know. One thing I do very much agree with is Albert being shut out at the final vote. He had no friends during the run of the game. He, in my opinion, did not do anything besides bitch and moan and belittle his fellow tribe mates. Coach and Ozzy have said repeatedly that this will be their final appearance on "Survivor". As disappointed as I am over Ozzy not winning, it's time for him and Coach to say good-bye and make room for some new players. On to season twenty-four. See you there!moreless
Before this episode began, I quite disliked the person who won, but after viewing it, I don't mind the outcome too much. (Spoilers ahead!)
Well, where to begin. Perhapd the beginning?
Well, Ozzy got back in. Very disappointing to see. And then he wins Immunity! So Rick goes home, which was completely expected and predictable.
The second Immunity CHallenge (and the first as well) where great challenges! I really loved both of them, and finally Ozzy lost on the latter occasion. Had it not been for Sophie, then Ozzy would've been the winner, which is one of the reasons why I think Sophie deserved to win. However, having said that, Coach still would've gotten my vote. As Cochran said, he played a great game and absolutely deserved to win. Shame that he was aunable to accrue more votes.
I don't particularly want to go into an in-depth review. The finale had quite a bit of predictability, but there was also a fair bit of excitement. I loved the challenges, and I loved the jury interrogations!
I hope next season will impress more, though.moreless
Ughh, of course you know who won
I'm not even going to go into an in-depth review but to say that Sophie did not deserve to win... The person I least wanted to see win out of all of the top ten to be completely honest.
This season has suffered from players who are just making us bored. It is all about this fake, stupid honour and loyalty garbage. What a nightmare, both Survivor and The Amazing Race have been overly weak in both their latest season. What the hell is up with the two shows these days? Two of my favourite shows have suffered from being among my least memorable latest season of both shows.
Ozzy should have won, but Coach Wade and the evil mastermind that is Sophie just ruined it all. One of the worst seasons of Survivor, definitely. It was just one of predictable, non interesting boring final outcome editions. That was normally the older of the old seasons, but now Survivor is heading downhill. I am also sick of Samoa being used as the location, and the lack of thought put into challenges. They should get rid of Redemption Island, as I find absolutely no use for it.
WHY again.. Why did it have to be Sophie... Manipulative, and just undeserving. Freaking hell. Placing the lame cast this season along with the poor effort put into this edition to Survivor just makes me disappointed in reality TV as a whole. Bad outcome, predictable and just cringing. Ozzy was the most deserving, then Coach.moreless
Coach got Russell'd.
Well I sensed Coach would loose from the moment I saw Sophie win the Immunity Challenge... For someone who cursed Russell so much he didn't learnt anything from his misfortunes...He should have brought Brandon and Rick in top 3...Yes there was a chance Ozzy would have gotten in top 3, but if he wouldn't, he would have had a reasonable shot to win...
I don't believe this will be the last we see Coach and Ozzy...They will comeback...

A multiple channel fiber optic connector (44) carries a plurality of fiber optic socket termini (58,60,62,64), each of which includes an alignment sleeve (42) mounted on a forward end. In order to facilitate installation of the alignment sleeves and removal of the sleeves for cleaning of the sleeves (42) and the end (35) of the optical fiber (34) of each socket terminus, the alignment sleeves (42) for each terminus of the connector (44) are all securely mounted in an alignment sleeve carrier (46). The carrier itself is detachably connected to the connector 44 and, when so connected, positions each alignment sleeve on its respective fiber optic terminus. A simply and easily operated latch mechanism (100,82) latches the carrier to the connector body to hold all of the alignment sleeves in place and is readily operated by a plunger 150, without any type of tool, to enable the carrier together with all of its alignment sleeves to be removed from the connector body and expose the ends (35) of fibers for cleaning.
1. A fiber optic termination connector comprising:
a connector body having a forward end,
a plurality of fiber optic termini mounted in the body and having ends adjacent said forward end, each said end being configured and arranged to receive an alignment sleeve,
an alignment sleeve carrier mounted on said body, said carrier comprising:
a carrier body, and
a plurality of alignment sleeves mounted in said carrier body, each said sleeve being received on an individual one of said termini, and
latch means for detachably holding said carrier on said connector body with said sleeves received on said termini, whereby removal of said carrier from said connector body removes all of said sleeves from said termini.
2. The connector of claim 1 wherein said latch means comprises a resilient latching member mounted on one of said carrier and connector body for motion between latched and unlatched positions, and means on said one of said carrier and connector body for shifting said latching member to said unlatched position.
3. The connector of claim 1 including means for securing each said alignment sleeve to said carrier body.
4. The connector of claim 3 wherein said means for securing comprises a plurality of sleeve receiving bores in said carrier body, each said sleeve being positioned in one of said bores, and a sleeve lock ring interposed between each said sleeve and each said bore and fixedly secured to said carrier body.
5. The connector of claim 3 wherein said means for securing comprises a plurality of sleeve receiving bores in said carrier, each said sleeve being positioned in one of said bores, a shoulder formed on one end of each said bore and abutting one end of the sleeve in such bore, a sleeve retainer ring fixed to each said bore and having an end engaging the other end of the sleeve in such bore.
6. The connector of claim 1 wherein said latch means comprises a post fixed to said connector body and projecting forwardly therefrom, a spring clip slidably mounted on said post for motion between a latched position in which the clip prevents removal of the carrier body from the post and an unlatched position in which the carrier body can be freely removed from the post and from the connector body, and a clip actuator movably mounted to said carrier body and configured and arranged to contact said spring clip whereby motion of said clip actuator will slide said spring clip from said latched position to said unlatched position.
7. The connector of claim 1 wherein said latch means comprises a post fixed to said connector body and extending forwardly therefrom, said post having a head section, a latch section of decreased external diameter, a post receiving bore in said carrier receiving said post, said bore having a latch section of decreased internal diameter, and a latching clip on said post between said post and bore latch sections.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said post head section has an external diameter slightly less than the internal diameter of said bore latch section.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 including plunger means slidably mounted in said carrier body for shifting said latching clip.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 including spring means in said connector body for urging said carrier body away from said connector body.
11. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said plunger means includes a plunger actuating projection extending outwardly of said carrier body.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to fiber optic connections and more particularly concerns mounting of a fiber optic alignment sleeve for quick disconnection and assembly.
2. Description of Related Art
Various type of connections are provided for coupling one optical fiber to another to position flush fiber ends of two fibers against one another for optimum transmission of light across the junction of the two. To interconnect the very small diameter fibers, the fiber ends are generally fixedly mounted in termination structures, generally termed a "terminus", of which a pin terminus and a socket terminus form a mating pair, with the one being received within the other. Effectively the pin and socket interconnection provides for alignment of the two optical fibers by the insertion and guiding of the pin terminus into the receiving end of the socket terminus. The socket terminus frequently carries on its forward end an alignment sleeve that is mounted with an end extending forwardly of the end of the optical fiber end to form a socket for reception of an end of the pin terminus. The end of the fiber of the socket terminus is set back, at some distance from the forward end of the alignment sleeve, and is difficult to clean through the very small diameter sleeve.
When the pin and socket termini are mutually disconnected, small particles of dirt may enter the socket of the alignment sleeve. Even very small particles in the socket can significantly hamper or totally prevent light transmission. To accommodate cleaning of the fiber end, which is set back from the forward end of the sleeve, the alignment sleeves of a socket terminus are generally detachably mounted on the terminus body. Frequently they are made removable only by a specially formed tool. The nature of the construction and the very small size of the termini, which have an outside diameter in the order of 0.040 inches for example, make this removal a difficult and sometimes error prone operation. Where the alignment sleeve is resiliently retained on the terminus body, pulling on the alignment sleeve results in a sudden release of retention force that may cause a sleeve to fly off the terminus to end and come to rest in unknown or difficult to find location at some distance from the terminus.
Attempts have been made to improve and redesign alignment, installation and detachment tools, and to redesign and reconfigure alignment sleeve retaining mechanisms, but the problem with removal and installation of the sleeve remains.
Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide an optical fiber terminus in which above-mentioned problems are avoided or greatly minimized.
In carrying out principles of the present invention in accordance with a preferred embodiment thereof, a connector body carries a plurality of fiber optic termini having ends adjacent the forward end of the body with each of the termini ends being configured and arranged to receive an alignment sleeve. An alignment sleeve carrier detachably mounted to the connector body includes a carrier body having a plurality of alignment sleeves mounted in the carrier body, with each sleeve being received on an individual one of the fiber optic termini when the carrier is mounted to the connector. Releasable latch means are provided for detachably holding the carrier on the connector body with the sleeve received on the termini, whereby removal of the carrier from the connector body removes all of the sleeves from the termini.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of ends of parts of a pair of pin and socket termini.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a multi-channel connector body and alignment sleeve carrier.
FIG. 3 is a cross section of the assembled connector and carrier of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the latching clip.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the mechanism for locking the carrier to the connector body, showing the latch mechanism in unlatched position.
FIG. 6 shows a detail of the mounting of an alignment sleeve; in the retainer.
The present invention is applicable to fiber optic termini of many different sizes, shapes and configurations, but will be disclosed in connection with one particular terminus configuration, solely for purposes of exposition, without intending to limit application of the inventive concept to any specific configuration of fiber optic terminus. Shown in FIG. 1 are portions of exemplary pin and socket termini of the type shown more fully in U.S. Pat. No. 5,125,059 for Fiber Optic Terminus, of Stephen W. Wall. This fiber optic connection generally includes a pin terminus 10 and a socket terminus 12. The pin terminus includes a terminus body 14 having a centrally located bore which receives an optical fiber 16. Fixedly mounted to a forward end of the terminus body 14 is a guide bushing 18 to the rear of which is mounted a spacer sleeve 20 circumscribing terminus body 14. Guide bushing 18 includes a planar forward face 22 which is flush with the forward end 24 of optical fiber 16.
The socket terminus generally comprises a similar structure including a terminus body 30, fixedly carrying on its forward end a guide bushing 32 and having an axial bore in which is mounted an optical fiber 34 having a forward end 35 that is precisely coplanar with a forward end 33 of the bushing 32. Socket terminus body 30 includes an externally enlarged mid-section 36 having a recessed portion 38 around which is mounted a terminus retainer sleeve or spring clip 40.
Mounted on the forward of body 30 and extending over guide bushing 32 is an alignment sleeve 42 that fits snugly over the guide bushing 32 and extends forwardly over the terminus body beyond the ends 33 and 35 of the bushing 32 and fiber 34. The optical fibers are fixedly mounted to and within the respective bodies of the pin and socket termini by various types of arrangements, of which one is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,125,059. Full and complete details of the pin terminus and the socket terminus are shown in this patent. It will be noted however that the alignment sleeve shown for the socket terminus of U.S. Pat. No. 5,125,059 includes certain external and internal configurations (not employed in the disclosed embodiment, and not shown in the drawings) that resiliently and detachably latch the alignment sleeve to the body and guide bushing of the socket terminus. In the present arrangement, as will be described more particularly below, individual latching of an alignment sleeve with its terminus body or guide bushing is not necessary.
In accordance with one feature of the invention, as incorporated in a particularly disclosed embodiment, a plurality of optical fiber socket termini are mounted in a single connector socket part or body 44 (FIG. 2) and the several alignment sleeves for each of the socket termini are fixedly mounted to and within a sleeve carrier 46. The carrier 46 is configured to be detachably mounted to connector part 44, and when so mounted, positions and holds each alignment sleeve on its respective terminus body. The assembly of connector and carrier present a group of completed socket termini mounted in the connector body and ready for connection to a group of similar mating pin termini (not shown) similarly mounted in a second or pin termini connector part (not shown). FIG. 3 shows the assembled group of socket termini in their connector body with sleeve carrier and alignment sleeves attached, all ready for connection to a mating group of pin termini (not shown).
As can be seen in FIG. 3, the socket termini connecting body 44 includes a body section 50 that is formed with a plurality of symmetrically disposed terminus mounting bores (four in the illustrated arrangement) such as bores 52, 54 shown in FIG. 3. Securely mounted within each of these bores are individual ones of a group of socket termini 58, 60, 62 and 64 (FIGS. 1 and 3). Each bore includes an inwardly projecting or reduced diameter section 68 adjacent the spring clip 40 that is mounted on the terminus. The spring clip latches the terminus within the connector body bore so that its forward end including guide bushing 32 protrudes a short distance outwardly beyond the planar front face 70 of body section 50. The forward ends of all guide bushings and fiber ends are coplanar. An O-ring 72 is captured in an external peripheral groove of body section 50 for sealing the installed sleeve carrier. A coupling ring 76 is rotatably mounted on body section 50 and includes an internally threaded forward end 78 adapted to threadedly engage a male threaded part of a multi-channel receptacle connector body (not shown) that carries a plurality of fiber optic pin termini that are to be mated to and optically coupled with the socket termini of connector 44.
Fixedly mounted (as by a press fit) in a centrally and axially directed bore 80 of connector body section 50 is a latching post 82 that projects forwardly of the front face 70 of connector body section 50 (see FIG. 3). A forward part of the post includes a head section 84, a latch section 86 of decreased external diameter and an inclined transition forming a post shoulder 88 between the sections. A pusher cup 90 having a forwardly projecting end 92 has an apertured bottom 96 through which the post projects to slidably mount the cup on the post. A compression spring 98 is captured between the bottom 96 of the pusher cup and the connector body section 50, circumscribing the rearward end of post 82. The spring 98 continually urges the pusher cup 90 forwardly toward the end of the body section 50 (the left side of the body as viewed in FIG. 3).
Mounted on the necked down section 86 of post 82 is a spring clip 100, best seen in FIG. 4. This spring clip may be identical to the clip 40 that holds the socket terminus within the connector body. The spring clip is preferably formed of beryllium, copper or a similar strong resilient and corrosion resistent metal having a longitudinally slit body 102 and a forward end that flares forwardly and radially outwardly into enlarged end portions 104, 106, 108 and 110 which are radially separated from each other by slots such as slots 112 and 114. The enlarged ends 104 through 110 may be formed simply by bending over ends of the separated fingers of the flared end portion. The spring clip has an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the post. Thus the clip is expanded when it is placed on the post and is held in place by its tendency return to its smaller diameter natural state. In this manner the clip is effectively tightly mounted on the post to extend over the necked down section 86 of the post for a limited amount of axial sliding motion.
The detachable alignment sleeve carrier has a generally cylindrical shape with a rearwardly projecting annular outer flange 130 having a bore 132 that closely receives the outer periphery of the connector body section 50. Flange 130 is received within the coupling ring 76, between the ring and the connector body section 50. The inner surface of the flange 130 cooperates with O-ring 72 to seal the carrier on the connector body section. The carrier is formed with a plurality of bores 132 (see also FIGS. 3, 5 and 6), each having small radially inwardly directed shoulders 134 at a forward end thereof. At the forward end, the entrance to each bore 132 is outwardly chamfered, as at 136, for guiding entrance of the end of a pin terminus. The alignment sleeve 42 for the fiber optic terminus bushing 32 is allowed to float a small amount longitudinally and radially within the bore 132 of the carrier. It is held in place within the carrier bore by a sleeve retaining ring 138 (FIG. 6) having an inwardly directed flange 140 that cooperates with shoulder 134 to capture the sleeve between the ring 138 and the carrier bore shoulder 134. Ring 138 is a press fit in the carrier bore and thus is fixedly secured to the carrier.
The pattern of alignment sleeve bore 132 of the carrier 46 (in a plane perpendicular to the connector axis) is identical to the pattern of the socket termini mounted in the connector body section 50. Therefore, when the carrier is mounted on the connector body section in the arrangement shown in FIG. 3, each alignment sleeve is fully and properly positioned on its respective terminus and is held in place thereon by the carrier. A fixed alignment pin 151 on the carrier is received in a hole 153 of the connector to help rotationally align the carrier with the connector.
The carrier is held to the connector body by a latching arrangement that cooperates with the spring clip 100. To this end, the carrier has a central bore which comprises an inner bore section 142 of a relatively large internal diameter. The central bore includes a latch section 144 of a decreased internal diameter that is positioned at the spring clip shank 102 and at the decreased diameter post section 86 when the carrier is mounted and latched on the connector body section 50. The bore latch section 144 and the bore inner section 142 are connected by an inclined bore shoulder 146.
Slidably mounted within the larger diameter inner bore section 142 is a cup-shaped plunger 150 having a forward head 154 and a rearwardly extending circumferential wall 156 that has an internal diameter equal to or just greater than the external diameter of the head 84 of post 82. The forwardmost end of carrier 46 is staked at the edges of the inner bore 142 to provide inwardly extending projections 158, protruding radially inwardly a sufficient distance to retain the slidably mounted floating plunger within the bore of the carrier. An inner most end 160 of the cup-shaped plunger normally touches the outwardly flared enlarged end portions of 104, 106, 108 and 110 of the spring clip 100 in assembled and latched condition of the carrier and connector body. An operator, such as a forwardly extending projection 166, is integrally formed on the forward head 154 of the plunger 150 to facilitate manually pressing the plunger to cause it to slide axially rearwardly (the right as view in FIG. 3).
In the latched condition illustrated in FIG. 3, the carrier flange 130 is snugly received around outer periphery of connector body section 50, cooperating with the O-ring 72 to seal the bores that receive and mount the socket termini. The flange 130 is positioned between the body section and the coupling ring and is radially spaced inwardly of the coupling ring to provide a space for receiving externally threaded walls of a mating coupling ring of a mating pin termini connector part (not shown). Spring 98 is compressed and bears against the rearward end of push cup 90, urging the cup forwardly so that its forward end 92 presses against a rear facing wall of the carrier at point 170. This tends to urge the carrier forwardly, away from the connector body. However, the outwardly flared enlarged ends 104, 106, 108 and 110 of the spring clip 100 are captured between the forwardly facing shoulder 146 of the carrier bore and the rearwardly facing shoulder 88 of the fixed post 82 thereby firming latching the carrier to the connector body section.
To release the carrier, plunger 150 is simply pushed rearwardly (toward the right as view in FIG. 3). This is most conveniently accomplished by pressing the forward end of the assembled carrier and connector body against a flat surface to press against operating projection 166 thereby forcing the plunger rearwardly. As the plunger moves rearwardly, its forward end 160 presses against the enlarged ends 104, 106, 108 and 110 of the spring clip forcing the clip to slide rearwardly along the post to the position shown in FIG. 5. The length of the spring clip is less than the length of the decreased diameter section to allow this sliding motion. As the clip 100 is forced rearwardly, the outwardly flared enlarged forward ends are effectively camed against the forwardly facing shoulder 146 of the carrier bore and are thereby forced radially inwardly. The large ends of the spring clip are forced inwardly by a sufficient distance to enable the reduced internal diameter latch section 144 of the carrier bore to clear the inwardly displaced enlarged ends of the spring clip (see FIG. 5) as the carrier is forced to the left by the spring urged action of pusher cup 90. In this position, the retainer is unlatched, although still substantially mounted on the connector body. When unlatched, the carrier may be removed by grasping it with the fingers and sliding it forwardly off the end of the connector body section. As the carrier is removed, all of the alignment sleeves, which are fixedly mounted in the carrier, are also removed, thereby exposing the ends of the optical fibers in the several termini mounted in the connector body. Now with the carrier removed, the exposed ends of the fibers may be readily cleaned and the retainers themselves may be thoroughly cleaned by a bore brush of appropriate diameter.
To reinstall the carrier, it is simply aligned with the connector body by axially rotating it until the carrier alignment pin enters the connector alignment hole. The carrier then is pushed rearwardly along the connector body to cause a rearwardly facing cam shoulder 180 on the carrier adjacent to the carrier latching section 144 to contact the spring clip enlarged ends and once again force these radially inwardly and rearwardly to allow the carrier to pass over the spring clip in its motion toward the rear. When the latching section 144 of the carrier passes the enlarged ends of the spring clip the latter again flare outwardly and the carrier is once again latched to the connector body.
It will be readily appreciated that instead of an operating projection 166 on plunger 150, there may be may be employed a slight depression centrally positioned on the forward end of the plunger that may be operated by the end of a sharp instrument, thereby avoiding inadvertent unlatching.
There have been described an arrangement for quickly and releasably assembling an alignment sleeve on an optical fiber socket terminus and a unique readily operable latching device for holding the two parts of the multi-channel connector together.

Jan. 25, 2013
NAMPA, Idaho - Utah State's men and women's track and field teams tabbed four top-three finishes as part of nine top-six performances on Friday at the Boise State hosted Jacksons/New Balance Invitational at the Jackson Indoor Track Facility in Nampa, Idaho.
Sophomore Cree Phillips Taylor performed well for the USU women with a third-place finish in the pentathlon with 3,255 points, while sophomore Melanie Heslop and junior Keeley Eldredge placed second and third in the women's weight throw with tosses of 16.59m (54-05.25) and 16.43m (53-11.00), respectively. For Heslop, the mark is a personal-best as well as ranking her eighth in school history.
Junior Silas Pimentel was the top placer for the USU men on the night as he clocked a time of 21.63 in the men's 200m, which was good enough for second-place. Junior Kyle McKenna ran in his first race of the season as he placed fourth in the men's 3,000m with a personal-best time of 8:30.21, while fellow Aggie junior Bryce Hall finished in fifth-place in the weight throw with a toss of 16.99m (55-09.00).
"We had some good performances today. It is still early in the season and I haven't looked at all the results yet but we did well," veteran USU head coach Gregg Gensel said. "I know Silas Pimentel ran really well in the 200m and our high jumpers did some good things. All we ask is the athletes to do their best performance they are ready for each time they go out. If they do that, that is all we can ask."
Other top-six placers for the Utah State men was freshman Skyler Duke and junior Xavier Williford Jr. who tied for fourth-place in the high jump with a mark of 1.95m (96-04.75), while senior Jon Goble tied for sixth-place in the long with with a leap of 6.69m (21-11.50).
Saturday's action will kick off at 9 a.m. (MT) with the final three events in the men's heptathlon and the meet will conclude with the women's and men's 4x400m relays at 4:10 and 4:25 p.m., respectively.

BARNSLEY, SOUTH YORKSHIRE. Trying to trace the relatives of my granddad, John Conyers, b1916. I know from his death certificate that one of his sisters, either Evelyn b1919 or Ellen b1923, married into a 'Fieldsend' family. I would love to hear from anyone who may have some connection.
