Don't support the puppy mill industry.
The first – and arguably most important – thing that you can do is to not support the puppy mill industry. Please do not buy your next pet from a pet store. It is widely estimated that nearly every puppy sold in a pet store has come from a commercial dog breeder or puppy mill. Responsible breeders carefully screen their buyers and do not sell to pet stores.
Please consider adoption as your first option.
Nearly every community has a local shelter. In the Chicago area, we have many wonderful shelters and rescue groups. We encourage you to visit shelters or rescues, even if you do not anticipate that adopting a shelter pet is the best option for you. There are wonderful dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. 25 percent of them are purebred!
If you do have your heart set on a particular breed, there are breed-specific rescues for almost every breed. Search online and on Facebook for a group that rescues the breed of your choice. In addition, visit www.petfinder.com – you can search for pets in need of homes by breed and location.
Research breeders carefully.
Finally, if you do wish to go to a breeder, learn how to recognize a responsible breeder. A responsible breeder loves their animals and will carefully screen buyers. They will allow you to come onsite and see where the dogs live and how they care for them. You should be able to meet both of the parents. If the breeder will only meet you offsite and will not let you see the facilities or meet the puppy's parents, this is not a responsible breeder. Visit www.pupquest.org for some great tips on identifying a responsible breeder.
Do your research before purchasing a puppy over the internet.
Please be careful when purchasing a pet through a website. Puppy mill operators can create beautiful websites to make you feel like you are purchasing your pet from a responsible and kind place. Please make sure that you can visit the puppy and the facility first – if you are buying solely based on a photo, email, or phone call, you are likely buying a puppy from a puppy mill. The San Francisco SPCA has one of our favorite campaigns that demonstrates just how easy it is to hide behind a nice website – click here to view their video.
Speak up for dogs and contact your legislators.
Your legislators need to know that animal welfare issues are important to you. Write a letter or send an email to your local and state legislators. Encourage him or her to support laws that protect animals. Include your mailing address so they know you are a constituent. Be polite and keep it short.
Illinois State Representatives

Converting Your Garage Into a Bar
We received this interesting article from one of our dear readers which we would like to share.
Installing a bar in your home is an excellent way of adding another dimension to the way in which you entertain your friends. Whilst it is fairly easy task to add in a standalone bar into your living or dining room, why not take it to the next level and convert your garage into your own personal drinking establishment.
#1. The first step is to ensure that your garage is properly water tight, has an electricity source and to remove all the built up storage and clutter. Once this has been done, the next step is to thoroughly clean the 'bar' space. Wash the walls, mop the floor and remove any cobwebs and mould to give yourself a blank canvas to work with.
Once clean you can begin to concentrate on the styling of your garage-bar. You might want to consider laying some sort of vinyl floor – the traditional chequered black and white lino is a classic bar/diner look that is easy to achieve and maintain – or painting the walls of your garage to add atmosphere to the space.
#2. Next is the bar itself, which you can either make yourself or purchase a ready made bar from one of the many online 'home bar' retailers. Depending on your budget and your technical abilities you may wish to consider building your own bar, which you can do as simply (think bricks, a long sturdy bit of wood and something to cover it with) or as professionally (blueprints for the building of your own bar are available online) as you like.
To accompany the bar you may wish to invest in some bar stools for that authentic feel and perhaps a sofa or armchairs so that your 'patrons' can while away the hours in comfort. Fix up a drinks cabinet behind your bar to display your spirits, purchase a mini fridge for your bottles and if you are feeling especially extravagant you might want to consider investing in a beer tap and kegerator. A kegerator keeps your beer cool and allows you to serve draft beer in your bar straight from the barrel.
On top of all I have mentioned so far, it is the added extras that will really make your garage bar special. For example, if you are a sports fan then why not turn your garage into a sports bar? With a large screen for watching your sport of choice and sporting memorabilia on the walls, your bar will surely become THE destination for your friends to watch the big game.

Do you promote your website? If so, how?
Do you get links from other sites / business directories?
Do you write a blog?
What are the method you use to promote your website and which methods are the most effective?
I personally don't. Most of my traffic comes from various places but mostly Dribbble. The whole exchanging links does not work for SEO. A blog would be a benefit. Just ask @joshuanhibbert.
There are many ways to promote website, paid (Addwords, publications) or free (blogs, social media)
It all depends on the type and purpose of the website.
You absolutely want to promote your website if you want it to generate leads or sales.
Fresh content is one of the most significant things you can do to help your site rank better. From my experience, adding about 2000 words of new content every month, spread out over numerous blog posts is highly effective at catching the attention of the spiders from the major search engines. That being said, your content should be relevant to your website and much more focused on education, helpful information, mentoring, etc. that about your business.
LInks pointing to your site are highly valuable IF they are the right kind of links. As Christopher mentioned above, links from Dribbble to his website would be highly informative and in turn relevant. In contrast, links from business directories are much less relevant and not really worth spending any time on.
So — create new, fresh, relevant, informative content regularly — and a lot of it — and your website will generate more leads/income for you.
Jerry Ross
My site is really only a blog, but it gets a fair bit of traffic, so I think that a blog would certainly help you.
"That being said, your content should be relevant to your website and much more focused on education, helpful information, mentoring, etc. that about your business."
Surely that kind of content though will only attract html / css coders and not customers?
Not necessarily, @JamesBarnsley. If you're producing informative content that attracts developers, it can lead to sharing which in return can land you a job or produce sales depending on what your content is about.
Whoops forget this post.
Of course, I promote my website. My work has no worth at all if I don't promote it. I backlink, I quote, everything except spam…

Roderick Ioerger wrote an interesting post for Marketing Pilgrim a few days ago, where he asked is social media an impediment to problem solving? The basic argument is the idea that the convenience of having others readily available to answer your questions inhibits finding the solution yourself and thus leads to less critical thinking. It's a valid argument, but I don't agree with the conclusion.
From the post:
Social media is enabling people to abandon their searching, critical thinking, and problem solving skills in favor of allowing their peers to assist them.
I won't argue against that, but I will say there's a big difference between enabling something and automatically leading to that something. A home gym enables me to tone and grow muscle. My waistline is proof that it's not a forgone conclusion.
You could make the argument that searching isn't critical thinking either. After all searching is really about asking a question and having someone else answer it for you. The critical thinking component comes into play when deciding which answer is the one you trust and in the queries you devise to find that information.
As I said in a comment on Roderick's post:
There will always be some who prefer to find information themselves and there will always be some who ask others for the information. In the end we all still have to make our own decisions on what we think is right and wrong.
The same people who turn to social media as a way to avoid thinking for themselves would find a way to avoid thinking regardless of the existence of social media. Sure a wealth of sources can help facilitate a lack of critical thinking for some people, but it's not the cause of their lack of critical thinking. Those same people likely view one and only one search result. They likely ask the person sitting next to them prior to searching.
Some people avoid thought at all costs. There always have been and there always will be tools to enable that. The tools are not to blame, though.
A few months back I posted how critiquing someone else's writing can improve your own. You can choose to follow the advice or not. In the end it's a tool and it's up to you to decide what to do with that tool. You can choose to think critically about writing or you can avoid the issue completely. In both cases the responsibility or blame is yours.
Social media is also a tool. It's up to you to use it in a way that helps you grow or not.
Unless you're reinventing the wheel, it could be argued that anything you do is avoiding thinking for yourself. When my car has a problem I take it to a mechanic to solve that problem. It doesn't mean I'm losing the ability to solve problems. It simply means I don't want to apply my problem solving skills to that specific problem.
How Social Media Fosters Critical Thinking
Social media is about community and conversation. If you genuinely participate with social sites you're engaging in the discussion and debate going on. Debate is about critical thinking. Someone raises a question and it challenges you to think to prove your point. Your point challenges the next person in line to think harder in order to prove their point.
If you go to any forum the majority of questions could have been answered with a little bit of searching either on or off the forum. But that doesn't mean the forum impedes critical thinking. There are many threads devoted to the back and forth debate. Ultimately the forum and social media are tools that can be used in positive ways and negative ways. Either can make it easy for someone to avoid critical thought as well as making it easy for someone to engage in critical thought.
We live in an age of information. In fact we're all on information overload. There's so much information available that any of us could walk through life without ever having to think. At the same time all of us can take that same information and think about it, make our own decisions about it, and add our own thoughts to the conversation.
Many problems cross our lives our lives daily. We can seek aid in solving them from others without losing our ability to solve problems. You might say that getting an easy answer through a social site can help critical thinking by allowing you to focus on those problems you wish to solve without letting other problems distract you from your task.
Roderick's post derived from a post by Jeremy Zawodney. Jeremy pulled a comment from one of his previous posts that said in part:
I find that the people who work for me will, if I'm available, use asking me something as a substitute for thinking
Again it does happen. But is asking someone a question an automatic substitute for thinking? I don't think so. Isn't that the whole point of society. None of us can specialize in everything so we rely on each other to answer questions in their areas of expertise while we focus on getting better in our area of expertise.
Problem solving is a general skill. Solving a problem is a specific skill. You can ask someone for a solution to a problem without losing your problem solving skills. You can also ask someone to solve your problem as a way to avoid developing problem solving skills. The choice is yours.
What do you think? Does social media lead to a loss in critical thinking? Does it inhibit problem solving any more or less than anything else?

Abilene residents sound off at transportation meeting
Abilene residents had plenty to say Tuesday night about proposed road renovations on State Highway 351.
They packed the auditorium at Taylor Elementary to give their two cents during a public meeting on the subject held by the Texas Department of Public Transportation and the Metropolitan Planning Organization.
The proposed project — which is split into two options — focuses on the 0.6-mile stretch of highway from Interstate 20 to FM 2833 (East Lake Road). In both options, a center median would be added, stoplights would be implemented, and driveway placement would be rethought to improve traffic flow to businesses.
"The biggest impetus (of the project) was the opening of the Wal-Mart superstore," said Alan Hufstutler, a TxDOT engineer. "We're trying to reduce the number of conflict points."
One option includes a center median, consolidated driveways and reworked business parking lots. The other option also includes a center median, but limits driveway accessibility and does not address business parking lots.
Faith Gage, who lives near the area of proposed construction, said she's concerned that adding a median and stoplights would further congest traffic on the highway, which has become busier as more businesses set up shop alongside it.
"I've seen how things are becoming more congested," she said.
One of the plan's options would be to reduce or consolidate the number of driveways leading to businesses, which would ostensibly cut down on "conflict points," as Hufstutler put it. Dairy Queen, for example, has three driveways.
Resident Scott Riggins said the reduction in number of driveways is a good idea, even if it takes a little longer to access businesses.
"It needs to be safe for everyone, not just convenient," Riggins said.
Chris Wingert agreed.
"I think the fewer entrances and exits out there, the better for traffic," he said.
The project does not yet have funding and does not have a projected start date, though the planning phase has to be completed by January. Another public meeting will be held July 9 at Taylor Elementary, 916 EN 13th St.

Cars come with either an automatic gearbox or a manually operated one, a stick shift. With a manual gearbox, we use the stick shifter very frequently while driving the car, yet we hardly ever think about the way the mechanism works. Here, we investigate how it works and what forces are acting on it when submitted to a very common load case — selecting first gear — with the help of a COMSOL Multibody Dynamics model of the gearshift mechanism.Read more ⇢

When sound propagates in structures and geometries with small dimensions, the sound waves become attenuated because of thermal and viscous losses. More specifically, the losses occur in the acoustic thermal and viscous boundary layers near the walls. This is a known phenomenon that needs to be included when studying and simulating systems affected by these losses in order to model these systems correctly and to match measurements.Read more ⇢

DNA is a complex molecule that contains instructions for life and often referred to as a "digital fingerprint" or code telling a cell what to do. DNA is often the only means for accurate testing and identification of biomolecules, cells, or even an entire person during forensic investigations. The need to be able to test for DNA, as quickly as possible, and even at the site where the sample is taken, is becoming more and more important.Read more ⇢

When solving a thermal processing problem, such as the heating or cooling of a part, it is desirable to change the heating, or cooling, based upon the computed solution. That is, we may want to include a feedback loop into our model. In this article, we will set up a feedback loop using a component coupling to turn a heat load on or off depending upon the temperature of the part being heated.Read more ⇢

There are various ways of handling interactions between fluids and solids in COMSOL. You can, for example, explicitly model the fluid using the full Navier-Stokes equations for the pressure and fluid velocity fields. Although that can be a very accurate approach, it's much more expensive than is needed for certain types of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. Here, we'll introduce a method for modeling enclosed volumes containing incompressible fluids, under the additional assumption that the momentum and energy transfer via the […]Read more ⇢

With shrinking electronic devices and ever-increasing power densities, efficient thermal management is at the heart of many R&D activities for electronics engineers. When developing complete systems containing multiple components, designs can become rather complex. An example of such a design would be a computer power supply unit (PSU), which can include not only electronics, but also multiple heat sinks, cooling fans, perforated grilles, and other large components — all within a small enclosure. In this blog post, we will explore […]Read more ⇢

In this blog post we will explain the concept of conjugate heat transfer and show you some of its applications. Conjugate heat transfer corresponds with the combination of heat transfer in solids and heat transfer in fluids. In solids, conduction often dominates whereas in fluids, convection usually dominates. Conjugate heat transfer is observed in many situations. For example, heat sinks are optimized to combine heat transfer by conduction in the heat sink with the convection in the surrounding fluid.Read more ⇢

Computer aided engineering (CAE) helps us understand how mechanical systems work before they are physically realized. In order to properly reflect the reality, we continuously increase the modeling complexity when we simulate, validate, or optimize our applications. A simple technique to improve a model is to increase the number of finite elements that in turn create more evaluation points. The hardware and simulation time, however, may limit the size of the model, and other solutions are necessary — such as […]Read more ⇢

Darlington, S.C. (May 10, 2008) – Greg Biffle, two-time winner at Darlington Raceway, sat on the pole for Saturday night's 367-lap main event. He led 95 laps and was not seen outside of the top three other than during green flag pit cycles throughout his time in the race. On lap 235 Biffle reported that there was and engine problem and came to pit road. It was determined that the problem could not be remedied at the racetrack and Biffle was officially out of the race. In the end, he was credited with a 43rd place finish. The 43rd place finish puts Biffle 11th in the point standings.
After turning in solid practice times in all four sessions leading up to qualifying, Biffle ran the fastest lap in time trials. The pole in Darlington would be his first of the 2008 season and put him on the inside of row one for the drop of the green flag. He would lead lap one in the 3M Ford before Dale Earnhardt, Jr. made a pass heading in to turn one on lap two.
Biffle remained second until Kyle Busch passed him and Earnhardt on lap 17. Biffle, however, overtook Earnhardt on the next lap and drove by Busch for the lead on lap 40. He held the lead until a round of green flag stops began on lap 57 and then brought the 3M Ford to pit road on lap 60 for four tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment. Biffle was second behind Busch when the round of green flag stops was complete on lap 71.
On lap 110, Biffle reclaimed the lead from Busch and kept it until another round of green flag stops began on lap 114. He had reported that the car was a little tight so when he brought the 3M Ford to pit road, it was four tires, fuel, a spring rubber adjustment. Biffle was back in the lead at the conclusion of green flag stops on lap 127. On lap 128, Busch took the lead and Biffle held on to second until a caution on lap 139.
Biffle brought the 3M Ford in for four tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment as the car had become a little loose. He returned to the track in the second position for the restart on lap 144. On lap 160, Biffle overtook Earnhardt, Jr. for the lead again and kept it until lap 195 when he pitted under green for a loose wheel that he had reported on lap 163. The team gave Biffle four fresh tires and sent him back out on the track in the 28th position, one lap down.
A third round of green flag stops began on lap 200 and Biffle took the lead for the fourth time of the night on lap 219. Unfortunately, the loose wheel returned and engine and transmission troubles shortly followed. Biffle brought the 3M Ford to the pits for the final time on lap 235 and would not return to the track. Biffle was credited with a 43rd place finish but lost only two positions in the points.
"I know everybody is trying their hardest on this 3M team," said Biffle. "The guys are digging their hearts out, but the fact of the matter is in this sport – in this day and age – you cannot leave the wheels loose – not at a place this fast. Somebody is going to get hurt. I'm not sure what happened yet, but it seems like it's in the carburetor to me because it doesn't want to run. They said there's oil underneath it, so I'm not sure what happened. It's just real frustrating. I give it 110 percent as a driver all the time and you just want your equipment to last and be able to win these races. They're so hard to win these days. You can deal with a flat tire or something like that, but when it's self-induced it makes it even harder."
Greg Biffle and the team moved to 11th in the point standings following their 43rd place finish. They are 382 points out of the lead currently held by Kyle Busch and 42 points ahead of David Ragan in the 12th position. The team will return to the track on Saturday, May 17th at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the Sprint All-Star Challenge.

Drink coffee to reduce wrinkles
A cup of instant coffee has shown promising results in smoothing out facial wrinkles and overcoming the need for various lotions.
The high content of collagen – the compound commonly found in many anti-wrinkle creams and also administered as "filler" by cosmetic surgeons to remove fine lines and wrinkles – can instantly smooth out wrinkles.
"Collagen is just one popular ingredient used to lend a more skin/beauty-friendly image to a product, and is increasingly found not just in beauty products but also in food and drink products – including coffee," the Daily Express quoted David Jago, director of trends and innovation at market analysts Mintel.
Nescafe has recently launched a range of coffee sachets containing collagen. Aimed at women, the coffee contains coffee, skimmed milk and 200g of collagen. The product is as yet only available to buy in Singapore.
Health officials still doubt the effectiveness of such products, stressing that collagen simply breaks down by the gut before being excreted.
Tea and Coffee break(through) – as naturally dyed clothing reaches Uk
Tea and coffee lovers can soon wear their passion on their sleeve as a new range of clothing launches in the Uk – naturally dyed with their favourite drink.
Cotton Roots – experts in fairtrade and organic corporate clothing – has been brewing the latest technology from India which using natural dyes to "fix" colours, a process which has been impossible commercially before.
Designed to be eco-friendly, ethical, affordable and fun – it allows natural ingredients including coffee, tea, and also pomegranate, henna and onions to be used as dyes for a huge range of clothing and merchandise, which can be branded with company logos and slogans.
And by using products made in Fairtrade approved factories Cotton Roots can guarantee long-life garment quality, while minimising their environmental impact.
Cotton Roots founder Susan Waters says her inspiration came over a cup of tea at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Susan had stared at a fabulous clothing collection – hundreds of years old, yet still vibrant, rich and colourful. All the clothes had been dyed using traditional techniques, ancient in origin. She had seen how people throughout history had used plants, minerals, salts and sunlight to dye their clothes. Without the need for harsh chemicals they had achieved colours which were soft yet richer than modern dyes.
But it was the cup of tea that brewed the idea.
What if she could produce real "Tea" shirts – T shirts actually dyed with tea?
And what about real "tea" bags, and real "tea" towels. …A new piece of sustainable manufacturing from our past brought to life for everyone?
Prices start at around £6.00 per t-shirt. Other naturally dyed products include aprons, bags, polo shirts, sweatshirts, formal shirts and chef wear.

Yes we do do private label coffee. We are able with our state of the art equipment create your label and put it on our coffee. We already do it for a number of people and companies.
One of my personally proudest example is Mr. Bun E Carlos the drummer for the rock band Cheap Trick. I spent my high school years in Beloit WI not that far from the home of the then rising band Cheap Trick. Made of of the great singer Robin Zander, future designer of the 12 string bass Tom Peterson, semi insane guitarist Rick Nielsen, and the remarkable drummer Bun E Carlos, they were on the rise to the top and I had seen them many times. Sometimes sneaking into an adults only show with a fake ID. Little did I know then that later in life I would become friends with the band.
Many years later, around 1990 I got to know a rock concert promoter. One day I get a call from him saying you know I am doing a show tonite in Iowa, if you wanna come down you can see Cheap Trick. Well it didn't take me long before I was down there and rocking to a band I had not seen live in years. After the show I got to meet the band and me and Bun E hit it off. Our love of music, and fishing the mighty muskie grew into a still standing friendship.
Flash forward 8 years and I am hanging out with the band at First Ave in Minneapolis Minnesota. As usual I brought several bags of coffee from my retail coffeeshop for the band as a thank you gift for the back stage passes and free tickets to the show. Bun E and I are talking as I hand him a couple bags of coffee. Robin happens to walk by and said something to the effect of "Excellent now we got some good coffee to drink, say how come your not selling a Bun E Carlos Blend?". What an idea, dahhhh… I look at Bun E he looks at me and I say you wanna have your own brand of Gourmet Coffee? Sure he says and the rest is history.
Bun E Carlos Blend was born on that nite and to this day I do not think there is another Rock Star or band that has their own brand of Coffee. The blend has gone through several revisions and refinements and is now in Version 2.0 to keep up with the TECH TALK.. LOL… It has also been shipped all over the world. From Japan to Italy, Bulgaria, France, England, Spain, Canada, almost every state in the US. We have shipped Bun E's coffee all over the place.
So if you have ever thought of having your own Brand of Coffee we can certainly help you develop your own line of coffee. Drop me an email or give me a call and we will talk about it.
Well another summer is slipping by faster than I care to see happen, but with that comes a new round of special flavors that we have created. This month we are releasing 4 new flavored coffees to add to our never ending list of flavors.
The four all fall into that Fall season flavors but are certainly good anytime of the year.
Toasted Marshmellow Flavored Coffee – WOW.. ever put a marshmellow in your cup of coffee? If you haven't you should it is awesome. But you can never find a toasted one. Somehow we have come up with the flavor of a finely toasted marshmellow and mixed it into the cup of coffee. No more waiting for the marshmellow to melt, its in there.
Caramelized Pralines Flavored Coffee – Caramel with Pralines make for a perfect cup of coffee while sitting on the deck watching the sunset.
Farmhouse Apple Flavored Coffee – Apples fresh from the tree placed in your cup of coffee. A marvalous taste treat.
Caramel Toddy Flavored Coffee – Another caramel flavored coffee, is there anything that caramel doesn't taste good with? If so we have not found it yet… look out for new caramel flavored coffees.
We keep comeing up with more and more flavored coffees. It simply astounds me. They go out for sample tastings where people with a taste for coffee hang out, and each month we come up with a few new flavors to add to the growing list of coffees we offer.
As always our flavored coffees are made with the same gourmet coffee we offer for sale elsewhere on our site, we do not use second rate beans in any of our coffees. So you get the Greatness of Hand selected gourmet beans and flavors that are made from all natural ingredients. Can it be any better?
Have a Great Cup of Coffee
For those that have been here in the past you will notice a new look to the site. Instead of our menu along the side we have it as buttons along the top. Hope this makes it easier to navigate the site and looks better than the old format. You will still find a few pages that are in older formats from the history of the site, so if you look around enough you will find bits and pieces of the site as it changed over time.
There are more changes in store as we move forward with some other design elements to make it easier to find what your looking for.
We have also opened up a new testimonial system on the site. This way you can leave your comments there about our gourmet coffee, flavored coffee, or the site.
Well I hope the old time customers are not shocked by the changes in the site, we still have the same great gourmet coffee, flavored coffee, green beans, coffee blends and all the great coffee you have come to enjoy and rely on we just put on some new makeup LOL
A new study is out that says it is not the gourmet coffee that causes coffee breath but rather it is the milk and cream people use in their drinks. Cup of coffee a day keeps bad breath at bay
Apparently the cream and milk products produce and environment that the bacteria loves and that causes your bad breath, The study also says that coffee actually helps to reduce those nasty things that give you bad breath.
So now you know you drink your gourmet coffee, or flavored coffee, and your breath is better than if you didn't. But if you add milk or cream look out coffee breath.
Hope everyone is enjoying the great summer we have had so far. While it could have been better up here in Minnesota, not much rain and not as warm as it normally is, but it has still been a great time to enjoy the great coffee.
Have a good one and now you have another reason to drink that cup a coffee each and every day.
The wonders of modern technology now we have it so that as soon as the server indexs our blog and creates the files, the ability to HEAR our blog rather than read it. Also a great tool for children to learn to read, they can read and hear our blog at the same time.
Hope you like the new feature.

A Bangladeshi national who attempted to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank building in New York with a remote bomb that was planted by law enforcement pleaded guilty to terrorism charges, the FBI said.
Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, believed he was going to detonate a 1,000-pound explosive device in front of the Federal Reserve in October, potentially killing a large number of people and a massive loss of public property, but it turned out the device was a dud given to him by an undercover FBI agent, according to a press release issued by the FBI on Thursday.
Nafis came to the United States in January 2012 from Bangladesh and in the next year, he attempted to recruit several individuals into a U.S.-based terror cell to carry out a terrorist attack.
However, one of the individuals he contacted was actually an undercover FBI agent. Nafis was then monitored by the FBI and the NYPD when he tried to implement his plan to "destroy America" by attacking the U.S. economy via bombing the Federal Reserve building, the release said.
The undercover agent supplied Nafis with 20-pound to 50-pound bags of purported explosives before Nafis purchased the detonation components. Nafis then carried out his own surveillance to carry out the bombing in Lower Manhattan.
"Throughout his interactions with the undercover agent, Nafis repeatedly asserted that the plan was his own and was the reason he had come to the United States," the FBI said.
On the day of the attempted attack, Nafis assembled the bomb in a van and then attached the detonator to the inert device before driving the vehicle along with the undercover agent to the New York Federal Reserve Bank, parking it there. He then walked to a nearby hotel and video-recorded a statement, saying: "We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom," according to the FBI.
After that, he tried to detonate the bomb several times before U.S. officials arrested him.

Transcript:Profile of Isaac Newton
Hi, I'm Christina Hartman and today we're profiling English scientist Isaac Newton.
Who Was Isaac Newton?
Isaac Newton was born into a Puritan family on January 4, 1643 in the county of Lincolnshire in the eastern part of England. When he was 19 years old, Newton left home for Cambridge University, where he had a classical education that included studies in astronomy, mathematics, logic, and rhetoric.
Newton's Early Years
In 1667, Newton became a fellow in Trinity College at Cambridge, and was later appointed a professor of mathematics there. In 1669, Newton's interest in optics and the theory of colors led him to construct the first successful reflecting telescope — a design that's still in use today.
Newton's Greatest Work
In 1687, Newton published his most famous work, the "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy." In it, Newton laid out his three universal laws of gravity. Maybe you've heard about Newton and the apple? Well, it didn't hit him on the head, but watching an apple fall from a tree may have helped inspire his theory that gravity applied to all objects in the universe.
Newton's Later Years
Newton was elected to Parliament from Cambridge in 1689, and in 1696 was appointed Master of the Royal Mint in London In 1705, Newton was knighted for his achievements — only the second scientist [after Sir Francis Bacon] to receive that honor.
Isaac Newton died in London on March 31, 1727 at the age of 84, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. While he wrote extensively on mathematics, religion, and optics and light, it is Newton's theories on the laws of motion for which he is best remembered.

Global Challenge
The Global Challenge (not to be confused with Global Challenge Award) was a round the world yacht race run by Challenge Business, the company started by Sir Chay Blyth in 1989. It was held every four years, and took a fleet of one-design steel yachts, crewed by ordinary men and women who have paid to take part, round Cape Horn and through the Southern Ocean where winds can reach 70 kn (130 km/h). The fee for the last race proposed (in 2008) was £28,750. It was unique in that the race took the westabout route around the world against prevailing winds and currents - often referred to as the 'wrong way' route.
The route of the race covered a distance of some 29,000 nmi (54,000 km). It changed to accommodate different ports of call, but in 2004/5 started from Portsmouth (UK) and stopped at Buenos Aires (ARG), Wellington (NZ), Sydney (AUS), Cape Town (SA), Boston (USA) and La Rochelle (FRA) before returning again to Portsmouth.
The event claimed the motto "The World's Toughest Yacht Race" and was the ultimate sailing challenge for amateur sailors. The official charity for the races was Save the Children and the race patron was HRH The Princess Royal.
After failing to secure a title sponsor, the company went into administration on 9 October 2006 placing the future of the race in doubt.[1] The fleet was then put up for sale.[2]
The seeds of the race were sown in Sir Chay Blyth's previous sailing exploits. In 1970/71 he became the first person to sail alone round the world westabout in the yacht British Steel which is now owned by Mr. Anthony Quelch and is docked in Dartmouth, a little way from where she was built. The practicality of training people who had never sailed before was demonstrated during the 1973/74 Whitbread Race, when Blyth had raced Great Britain II with a crew from the Parachute Regiment. Subsequently he ran charters for paying crew.
The design philosophy for the identical yachts used on the Global Challenge races was forged by Sir Chay Blyth's longtime associate Andrew Roberts. It was his idea to start from the largest top-action production winch available, which would in turn dictate sail area, displacement and size. He also oversaw the build of the two fleets of steel cutters used in the four races to date to designs by David Thomas and Thanos Condylis (Challenge 67) and Rob Humphreys (Challenge 72).
British Steel Challenge 1992/3[edit]
The first race started from Southampton in September 1992 with 10 identical 67 ft (20 m) boats sailed by a skipper and 13 crew. There were a number of serious rigging screw failures in the Southern Ocean and British Steel II , after the initial success of winning the first leg of the race, was dismasted in mid-Southern Ocean, but managed to motorsail safely to Hobart under jury rig. She was re-rigged in time to rejoin the race for the next leg to Cape Town.
The winner of the first race was John Chittenden and crew in Nuclear Electric . Chittenden went on to win the 2001 Yachtsman of the Year Award.

BT Global Challenge 1996/7[edit]
An expanded fleet of 14 Challenge 67 yachts set out from Southampton in driving rain and gales. Again rigging problems struck in the Southern Ocean and Concert was dismasted. Skipper Chris Tibbs and crew made a jury rig and motorsailed to Wellington, New Zealand. Concert was re-rigged in time to start leg 3 from Wellington to Sydney and was 2nd on the Sydney to Cape Town leg. Yacht Pause to Remember, skippered by Tom O'Connor, suffered a snapped boom half way between Sydney and Cape Town. There seemed no choice but to fly their trysail until crewmembers Graham Phelp and Matthew Reeves took on the challenge of trying to repair it by using a cut out section as a splint. Two days later a shortened boom emerged from below decks and was successfully attached to the mast. Three weeks later and having suffered several storms with wind speeds in excess of 50 kn (93 km/h), Pause to Remember sailed into Cape Town, with boom still intact.
This race featured an extra leg to Boston and a crew of disabled men and women took part on "Time & Tide", the first to sail round the world.
Mike Golding dominated, winning five out of six legs in Group 4 with Andy Hindley winning the remaining leg in Save the Children . Three skippers had graduated from being crew volunteers four years earlier: Andy Hindley; Mark Lodge; and Simon Walker, all of whom appeared in the top five placings. Simon Walker went on to become Managing Director of Challenge Business, helping to organise the 2000/1 and 2004/5 Global Challenges.[3]

Kate Middleton, who married HRH Prince William to become the Duchess of Cambridge, worked as corporate crew during the buildup of the 2000/1 race.[4]
Global Challenge 2004/5[edit]
The same fleet of 72 ft (22 m) yachts sailed again in the 2004 race, and the winner was the Australian skipper Andy Forbes and his crew on BG SPIRIT , who won three of the seven legs. Once again, although the overall safety record of the race was very good, medical emergencies did unfold, most notably onboard yachts 'Imagine It. Done.', 'Team Stelmar' (with TWO separate medical evacuations), and 'Save The Children'. In the case of 'Imagine It. Done.', only an extraordinary combined effort of several yachts within the fleet, the doctor onboard (Dr Roche), and the efforts of the Westpac Rescue team saved the life of John Masters.[5] 'Team Stelmar' suffered both their medical evacuations in the Southern Oceans on the BA - Wellington leg, costing them a 2,500-nautical-mile (4,600 km) detour and 17 more days at sea, making the leg 9,700 nautical miles (18,000 km) instead of 6,100 nmi (11,300 km) and 52 days at sea. They carried on with 3 crew down crossing the Southern Ocean alone, set the 24-hour record for that leg and finished 11th due to the retirement of 'Imagine It. Done.'

Specifications of the Challenge 72 one-design[edit]
The current 12-strong race fleet of Challenge 72-footers was developed from the Challenge 67s and was specifically designed to be strong, safe and seaworthy in even the worst conditions and to be self-sufficient for long periods at sea, with enough fuel and water to take their crews safely to a distant port. The yachts were also designed to be relatively easy to sail and handled by crews who are not professional.
Designed by Rob Humphreys, the identical 72-foot (22 m) steel ocean racing yachts were built by Devonport Yachts in the UK by a new method using a unique flat-pack yacht assembly kit of precision cut laser steel panels.
Ten of the twelve yachts were built by Devonport, UK, the other two by Kim's Yacht Company in China.
- Length overall: 72 ft (22m)
- Length of waterline: 61 ft (19m)
- Air draught: 95 ft (29m)
- Draught full load: 10 ft (3.05m)
- Displacement (half load): 40 tonnes
- Ballast: 12.5 tonnes
- Sail area (windward): 2,825 sq ft (262.5 m2)
- Sail area (downwind): 4,020 sq ft (373 m2)
- Water capacity: 390 gal (1,775 lt)
- Fuel capacity: 475 gal (2,150 lt)
- Hull: 50A mild steel
- Deck: Stainless steel

I received my M.A. in French Linguistics (1984) and Ph.D. in Romance Linguistics (1990) with specializations in applied linguistics, second language acquisition and pedagogy from the University of Texas at Austin. Since joining the faculty at UNC in 1989, I have taught, coordinated and developed materials for courses at all levels in French language, including Business French and Phonetics. My interest in students' reading development in a foreign language has expanded into an integrated-skills approach to foster increased student command of structure and form in extended discourse contexts from intermediate to advanced level study. I work with the language coordinator in the orientation, training, course assignment and coordination of graduate teaching assistants who are responsible for teaching most of the courses in French language. I also work with the exchange lecturers who come each year from France to teach in the department. I have lived in France myself, on two occasions as an exchange lecturer teaching English at the Universities of Paris and Montpellier and several other years as Resident Director for the UNC Year-at-Montpellier study abroad program. Since 2004 I have been the Departmental Director for that and other study abroad programs in French. I have also acted as Faculty advisor to the French Honor Society, Pi Delta Phi, and continue to function in this capacity with the French House. During the summer, I coordinate the placement testing of incoming freshmen for French and Spanish.

A Day in the Life of a Sissy Maid
A Day in the Life of a Sissy MaidBy Ms Courtney of Sissy School
What is a Sissy Maid?
Sissy maids are, quite simply, submissive men who like to dress as women and serve others, particularly a Mistress or, for the very fortunate, a wife or girlfriend. Very often, sissy maids dress in typical French maid attire, complete with petticoat, stockings, garter, heels, and of course, a pair of ruffled sissy maid panties. Sissy maids often begin as sissies who aspire to the level of eroticism and servitude associated with wearing the French maid outfit. These sissies may seek either a real-time or an on-line Mistress who specializes is sissy maid training.

Ouch it's been a while since I last posted here. IRL is tough and I don't have a lot of motivation to write in my reduced free time. Plus, I spend about a month trying Rift outside of raids, so I didn't have a lot to say. Anyway, Bati from Holy Nova Now! launched this Cataclysm edition of Circle of Healers a few
days weeks ago. I finally managed to answer all the questions :
What are the name, class, and spec of your primary healer?
Zahia, resto Shaman
What is your primary group healing environment? (i.e. raids, pvp, 5 mans)
10M raids, and of course 5 mans, as everyone have to run 5 mans nowadays.
What is your favorite healing spell for your class and why?
Healing Rain ! It has a nice animation, and coupled with a few Chain Heal it makes a wonder in filling these health bars.
What healing spell do you use least for your class and why?
Healing Surge. With Tidal Waves, I don't really feel the need for a fast spell. In case of emergency, I often prefer a 1.6 second cast Greater Healing Rain that'll crit for 60k than Healing Surge. Of course, sometimes in the emergency I don't notice that Tidal Waves just dropped, and in the middle of my looong Greater Healing Wave cast I just think "Oh crap, that was a good time for Healing Surge. To late now, let's just pray my big heal will land in time!"
What do you feel is the biggest strength of your healing class and why?
Utility. In my healing environnement (5-mans and 10-mans), being able to bring 4 out of my 6 raid-wide buffs via totems, bloodlust, utility totems, an offensive dispel and the shortest cooldown interrupt of the game is very useful.
Of course, these tools are not healing tools, but they can change the issue of the fight in small groups.
Healing wise, I'd say we're very versatile, but's it's true for about every class now. From my own experience, I think we have 2 main strenghs :
- Being able to produce strong and steady AOE heals
- Resto shaman can have about infinite mana, provided they can throw a lighting bolt on something. That's pretty much unique above all healers.
What do you feel is the biggest weakness of your healing class and why?
Not defensive CD ! Of course, we now have our new Spirit Link Totem. But for now I think this spell would better suits an goblin engineer toolbox than a shaman spell book, as it has a lot of chances to fail.
What healing class do you enjoy healing with most and why?
Hard to answer this one, as I only played with an holy priest a few times (plus he was a complete newbie), and I never played with a disc priest since Cataclysm launch. I'm raiding with Holy Pala and Resto druid most of the time. It went very well for now, even with the lack of defensive CD from druid and shaman. I'm finding than druid and shaman works very well together for raid healing, as our hots supplement each other to generate massive amounts of healing when needed, along with my Chain Heal for "spot" healing.
What healing class do you enjoy healing with least and why?
As said above, I didn't healed with priests enough to answer this question.
What is your worst habit as a healer?
As a healer, I don't know. As a resto shaman, I always forget to use Unleash Elements on CD in the heat of the battle. That's not a big deal most of the time, as it's more a mana saver than a throughput spell.
What is your biggest pet peeve in a group environment while healing?
That hunter that don't stand in the blue circle !! I don't know why but it's (almost) always an hunter.
Do you feel that your class/spec is well balanced with other healers for PvE healing?
I think so. Again, I always heal with the same (great, by the way) healers, so I don't have a lot of experience concerning healers balance.
What tools do you use to evaluate your own performance as a healer?
I'm raiding very casually, so "the boss is dead" is a good evaulation already. Sometimes, someone in the raid will upload a raid night on World of Log, and I'll take a look at it. But making an in-depth analyse take way too much time! The best used I made of it recently helped me choosing my talent spec, as I could check the contribution of some talents to my overall healing.
What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about your healing class?
We're Chain Heal spammerz ? I don't know people continue to see shaman like this, but they should know that we're drop-Healing-Stream-Totem-Earth-Shield-and- Healing-Rain-and-afk type of healer now !
What do you feel is the most difficult thing for new healers of your class to learn?
Back in TBC days, I would have said "learn how work your totems and what totem is the best in each situation, and know what rank of Chain Heal to use in each situation"
In Wrath, I'd have said "learn when you should use Chain Heal, and when you should use all your other spells instead".
Now, shaman are faced to the most complicated spell ever: Spirit Link Totem. Learning how to use it effectively will take a while, be it for new or long time playing resto shaman.
If someone were to try to evaluate your performance as a healer via recount, what sort of patterns would they see (i.e. lots of overhealing, low healing output, etc)?
Well, it depends a lot on the fight. On Chiameron, they'll see high hps and low overhealing, but effectively a big part of this healing was wasted, healing people above 10k hp. On Omnitron, I'll just sit at the low end of the healing meter, generally having a lot of mana left at the end of the fight (except if the dps is so low that it takes 13 minutes to kill them)
What healing class do you feel you understand least?
I suppose druid. I didn't play a resto druid at max level since Karazhan, so it's been a while. Plus, paladin, and priest roles in a raid seem obvious to me : paladin = strong tank healing, disc = bubble love + good tank healing, holy priest = strong raid healing. But druids remains a bit mysterious for me, even if I raid with a resto druid most often. Generally he is on support role (tank or offtank + raid), so it doesn't help to know what he's best at. Plus, he's a very good player, it looks more like he's very good at every thing!
Haste or Crit or Mastery and why?
For now, haste. I may try reforging to mastery soon as it got a huge buff since 4.1, but I'm not sure it'll work very well. As I'm alchemist and jewelcrafter, it's very easy for me to get to the 2nd haste threshold (2005) with alchemist stone and +67 haste gems. So a while ago, as I noticed than players where not often below 50% hp in my 10-man normal raid, I tried reforging for haste. For now, it's working very well. I love the short cast time, and instead of just spending more mana by casting more, it allows for more regen via Telluric Current too. And as I'm often on raid healing duty, haste do wonders with Healing Rain. It doesn't heal for more, but it heals faster, thus you don't feel the need to cast so much Chain Heals while Healing Rain is doing his job.
What add-ons or macros do you use, if any, to aid you in healing?
I'm currently using vuhdo + mouseover macros. I was a long-time grid user, but finally I made the switch. I used to run with a lot of grid plugin, and became bored of having half of the plugins broken at each patch. Plus, in my guild we want to completely discover the bosses, so we don't read strats or boss abilities before trying. I have to say vuhdo is way superior than grid for that. Vudho allow you to see all debuffs at a time, and most importantly to see debuffs tooltip easily. This helps a lot to see what's happening, but isn't available in grid.
Do you strive primarily for balance between your healing stats, or do you stack some much higher than others, and why?
At the moment I stack haste much higher than other stats, because it's the only possibility to get to the 2nd haste threshold. I generally don't think too much stacking is good for a healer. But with our current gear level, you don't have much choice, you need to choose your main stat and stack it. As a resto shaman, I have 3 gearing possibilities. Either I get to the 2nd haste cap, and have to reforge most of my secondary stats except spirit to haste. Either I gear for high mastery or for a mix of haste and mastery, crit being a very poor stat at the moment. Ratings being what they are, you don't gain anything while gearing for mix of haste and mastery: you won't gain additional hot ticks, and your cast won't even be 0.1 second shorter. So your best bet is stacking mastery, or stacking haste up to the 2nd threshold.

A plan for a lake that could reduce flood threats along the Pearl River has support from the Army Corps of Engineers. The lake would run north of Lakeland Drive to south of I-20. The existing Pearl River channel would be widened. The lake would be under 2,000 acres and hold more water in the event of prolonged rain. The Corps has authorized $123 million toward a flood-reduction project in the area.
ALSO: Soon there will be a new pier at Rankin Landing. High waves from a severe thunderstorm last August destroyed the previous one. Neel-Schaffer is designing the new pier. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District awarded the winning bid of $299,500 to Key Constructors, but the cost will drop to $273,400 because of changes. The engineering contract will not exceed $16,000.
COMING UP: A Texas-based oil and gas company plans to install a carbon dioxide pipeline across the Ross Barnett Reservoir. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District Board of Directors approved an easement for Denbury Onshore LLC at a May meeting. The PRVWSD will receive $130,800 for the easement. The pipeline will be buried and pose no risk to boaters.

Accelerated Undergraduate Degrees are the delivery method option we offer for adult learners seeking a bachelor's degree, associate's degree, certificates, minors, or professional development (piece-meal courses for college credit).
An accelerated program is one in which you earn college credits in a shorter amount of time than you would in a normal semester-based program. This means that the program is fast-paced and requires more time in study each week. Most students take one course at a time.
Each course or module is six or seven weeks in length, but includes the same material as a 15-week semester course. On campus, you will attend class for four hours, one night a week, for five weeks. Online, you will spend six weeks interacting with your professor and classmates through MyLBCOnline.
It varies from student to student, depending upon which courses you are transferring into the program. If you have few or no Bible credits to transfer in, then most of your program will be Bible, theology, and foundational courses. If you previously attended a Bible college or Christian university, then there are some arts and sciences available for you to take instead of the Bible courses you have already taken. Exactly which courses you will need will be determined after we have examined your transcripts. For a full list of course descriptions, see the Accelerated Undergraduate Degrees Catalog.
Lancaster Bible College is nationally and regionally accredited. We are regionally accredited with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), as well as nationally with the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). The Bachelor of Science degree in Bible that you receive through the DC is the same as that awarded to graduates in traditional programs.
Please view our Financial Aid section for the latest information concerning tuition and fees.
Lancaster Bible College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) and the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), and is approved by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Lancaster Bible College is also an affiliate member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).

Dana White: For All Intents And Purposes, Barao Is The Real Bantamweight Champion
"Renan Barao is a champion. If you look at Renan Barao and what he has done, he's beaten everybody that Dominick Cruz would be fighting if Dominick Cruz was healthy and was the champion. So, [the interim label] takes nothing away from [Barao], other than just that pin, that place holder until Dominick Cruz comes back… But for all intents and purposes, Renan Barao is the real champion. He's the one that's beating the guys that need to be beaten."
While on the UFC 168 world tour, UFC President Dana White, told the fans and media in Brazil that their own, Renan Barao, should be considered the real world champion despite holding the interim title.
6 Responses to "Dana White: For All Intents And Purposes, Barao Is The Real Bantamweight Champion"
Old news, Barao's been champ in my eyes
Exactly KIDD433!
Barao has been beating the who's who of the division with great dominance and frankly I don't see how Cruz is going to beat Barao.
They need to make it official and give the man his belt he's earned. Cruz can get a crack at it when he returns.
I was disappointed that the TUF wasn't Cruz/Barao in the first place. The only reason why Faber was on there was because of his popularity. When I heard Cruz was injured, I started praying that Barao would get his shot, and he's REALLY made it count!

MBA and Master of Finance Student Projects
The Rady School is committed to providing opportunities for action learning for our MBA and Master of Finance students, and the school works actively with companies who have projects and are interested in our students.
MBA Student Projects
MBA students complete projects for academic credit under faculty supervision in several formats.
Lab to Market (L2M) Workshop I and II
This two-quarter course sequence focuses on "idea to marketplace" and engages student teams in evaluating the commercial potential of business opportunities. Project ideas must be significant market opportunities in the science and technology sectors including sustainability and social enterprise innovations that have a base in science or technology. Projects sponsored by companies and research institutes are of interest to students and the school.
Business Consulting Course
In this one-quarter class student teams, under faculty supervision, serve as consultants for organizations seeking assistance with specific business problems. Projects are proposed by companies or nonprofit organizations. Faculty approve specific projects for the course based on their educational value for Rady MBAs.
Independent Study
MBA students may engage in Independent Study under the direction of Rady faculty. Most Independent Study projects are proposed by companies or nonprofit organizations. Faculty agree to supervise student teams on specific projects based on their educational value for Rady MBAs.
Short projects in other classes
Some Rady electives include projects. Such courses often allow students to identify companies for their required projects. Learning objectives are specific to the particular course and instructor.
Master of Finance Student Projects
Master of Finance students complete a capstone Applied Finance Project. Projects address an empirical topic in finance but could also cover more technical areas including estimation, forecasting and testing of financial market models or quantitative models in a closely related subject such as data mining. Company-sponsored projects typically come from companies in the financial services sector and involve, in addition to publicly available market data, the use of company-provided data in order to develop a model or answer a question significant for the organization and its business. Projects should involve financial data from the equity, fixed income, options, hedge funds, structured products, or other financial markets. Projects are identified in spring quarter and completed under faculty supervision during the summer quarter.
Please note that Rady operates on the quarter system, and student projects undertaken for academic credit must begin and be completed within a quarter's ten-week academic schedule.
If your company has a specific need and would like the assistance of a Rady MBA student team, please complete this form. Projects submitted will be posted and available for student and faculty review on our MBA Project Opportunities website for six months or until taken by a student group or removed upon your request. Any interested students or faculty will contact you directly in order to begin work on the project.
If your organization has a project that does not fit within this framework or that could be accomplished by an individual student, you may wish to post it as an internship. Many Rady MBAs take on short-term, part-time internships during their academic program, as well as full-time during the summer between the two years of the Full-Time MBA program. Internships are usually paid. If you have an internship, Rady's Rady Graduate Career Connections provides a job-posting website and a student resume database accessible to employers.

|Potential Problem
|Possible Reason
|Low voltage going into the clutch.
|Defective battery.
|Check with voltmeter, battery should be 8-16 volts. (Assuming 12 volt battery.)
Lead wire cut which could be intermittently grounding out the lead
wire causing the clutch to turn on and off or not to give full voltage.
|Fix or replace lead wire.
|Erratic engagement.
If lead wire is kinked or pinched and the break is internal, the clutch
operation may show up as being erratic engagement.
|Fix or replace lead wire.
|Clutch is contaminated.
Oil or other lubricant has been sprayed on the clutch surface.
Sometimes this shows up after the clutch is disassembled.
Physical evidence is either burnt oil or a greasy metallic
surface showing oil still present.
|Clean off surfaces with solvent and reburnish. Replace the clutch if damage is severe enough.
|Clutch overloaded.
|Output torque required is greater than what the clutch can handle. If input torque going into clutch is greater than the output torque required, the clutch will slip. If it slips too long, the clutch surfaces will be galled
|Size clutch correctly for the application. Replace clutch.
|Output stalled.
|If output is stalled, clutch could slip to the point where it will burn up and destroy either bearings or the field.
|Replace clutch.
|If voltage is going to the clutch, but the clutch will still not engage.
|Coil open or shorted.
|Check coil with ohmmeter. A range close to 3 to 4 ohms should be present at an ambient coil temperature of 70\uffffF. Replace coil.
|Clutch not burnished.
|If full torque is required immediately and clutch is not burnished, it will slip and could become galled.
|Try to reburnish clutch. If slipping is to severe, clutch will have to be replaced.

Updated: 12/15/2012 12:04 PM KSTP.com By: Cassie Hart
The head of Minnesota's largest teacher's union is encouraging districts to review crisis response plans in light of Friday's shooting attack he calls "vicious and shocking."
Education Minnesota President Tom Dooher says Friday's shooting is profoundly disturbing. He is sending the condolences of Minnesota teachers to the victims and their families.
Minnesota Safety Law Requirements
Meanwhile, Minnesota state law requires schools to practice their plans for violent crisis situations, so students can remember what to do in a time of panic. Schools are required to have at least five lock down drills a year. The plan includes four parts: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Portions of the plan have been adapted from the U.S. Secret Service.
Dr. Gary Amoroso represents state school Administrators like Superintendents. He says participating in regular drills helps build relationships between schools and police that can save time and lives.
"We do them to make sure we are prepared, but we hope and pray we never have to have a live situation like this," said Dr. Amoroso.
Emotional Support
St. Paul Public School District has plans in place to help their students deal with the grief and confusion they may feel during this tough time.
Dr. Darlene Fry, who overseas counselors for St. Paul Schools tells KSTP, they are prepared to officer services across the district if needed.
"In situations like this, we have what we call a crisis support team", said Dr. Fry. "We have them on call for Monday when the children return to school. What we would like is if families can tell us if their kid had a restless weekend, if they were overly stressed or emotional about this event."
Dr. Fry said, "If we need to, we will have crisis response team members who are counselors, social workers and psychologists ready to go out to various schools to help with the children and their emotions so they can get back to the learning process."
Deadly History
The shooting in Connecticut is now the second deadliest shooting in U.S. history.
The deadliest was on April 16 2007, when a Virginia Tech student shot and killed 32 people as he walked through campus buildings in Blacksburg, Virginia. Friday's mass shooting killed 26 people in Connecticut.
The third deadliest happened in Killeen, Texas back in 1991. A man drove his pickup truck through a restaurant window, got out and shot and killed 23 people.
The fourth deadliest was in 1984, when an unemployed security guard killed 21 people at a Southern California McDonald's before a police sniper killed him.
For the fifth deadliest, we go back to 1966 in Austin, Texas. A former Marine Sniper shot and killed 16 students at the top of a University of Texas watch tower.
