Ferritic Stainless Steel With Excellent Heat Resistance - Patent 8153055This is a .sctn.371 of International Application No. PCT/JP2010/061733, with an international filing date of Jul. 5, 2010 (WO 2011/024568 A1, published Mar. 3, 2011), which is based on JP 2009-199415, filed Aug. 31, 2009, PCT/JP2009/070632,filed Dec. 3, 2009, JP 2009-279234, filed Dec. 9, 2009, and JP 2010-148604, filed Jun. 30, 2010, the subject matter of which is incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD This disclosure relates to Cr-containing steels, in particular, ferritic stainless steels that have high levels of thermal fatigue property (or thermal fatigue resistance), oxidation resistance, and high-temperature fatigue property (orhigh-temperature fatigue resistance) and can be suitably used in high temperature exhaust system members such as exhaust pipes and converter cases for automobiles and motorcycles and exhaust air ducts for thermal electric power plants.BACKGROUND Exhaust system members of an automobile, including an exhaust manifold, an exhaust pipe, a converter case, and a muffler, are required to have high levels of oxidation resistance, thermal fatigue property, and high-temperature fatigue property(hereinafter these are collectively referred to as "heat resistance"). Upon initiation and stop of engine operation, exhaust system members are repeatedly heated and cooled. These members are restrained by their surrounding members, and thus theirthermal expansion and contraction are restricted. As a result, the material itself experiences thermal strain, and this thermal strain causes fatigue phenomena. The thermal fatigue mentioned here represents this type of fatigue phenomenon. While anengine is under operation, the exhaust system members are heated and subjected to vibrations. These vibrations cause an accumulation of strain, also leading to fatigue phenomena. The high-temperature fatigue mentioned above represents this type offatigue phenomenon. The former is low-cycle fatigue, whereas the latter is high-cycle fatigue. These are coView doc
Hardened Martensitic Steel, Method For Producing A Component From This Steel And Component Obtained In This Manner - Patent 8153056This is a U.S. National Stage Application of Application No. PCT/FR2006/000877 filed Apr. 20, 2006,claiming priority to FR 0504254, filed Apr. 27, 2005, and FR 0507482, filed Jul. 12, 2005, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The invention relates to a martensitic steel which is hardened by means of a duplex system, that is to say, by means of precipitation of intermetallic compounds and carbides obtained using appropriate composition of the steel and thermal ageingprocessing operation. This steel must have: a very high level of mechanical strength, but with a high level of toughness and ductility at the same time, that is to say, a low level of sensitivity to brittle fracture; this very high level of strength must remain athigh temperatures, that is to say, at temperatures in the order of 400.degree. C.; good properties in terms of fatigue, which involves in particular the absence of harmful inclusions such as TiN and oxides; this feature must be obtained by means of anappropriate composition and carefully controlled production conditions for the liquid metal. Furthermore, it must be case-hardenable and nitridable in order to be able to harden the surface thereof in order to confer thereon a high level of resistance to abrasion. The main application envisaged for this steel is the production of transmission shafts, in particular for aircraft engines. The requirement for an excellent level of mechanical strength at high temperatures does not allow the use, in this application, of carbon steels whose strength degrades from 200.degree. C. Maraging steels are conventionally used which have asatisfactory level of strength up to 350-400.degree. C. Beyond this level, a tempering operation is brought about which modifies their structure. A steel composition has been proposed in document U.S. Pat. No. 5,393,388 which is intended to improve the heat-resistance and in particular improve the properties in terms of fatigue, ductility andView doc

Silver-white Copper Alloy And Process For Producing The Same - Patent 8147751This is a National PhaseApplication in the United States of International Patent Application No. PCT/2009/054420 filed Mar. 9, 2009, which claims priority on Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-058855, filed Mar. 9, 2008. The entire disclosures of the above patentapplications are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a copper alloy having a silver-white color equivalent to that of nickel silver and a method of producing the same.BACKGROUND ART Copper alloys such as brass are variously used for piping materials, building materials, electric and electronic devices, machine parts, and the like. In gaming tokens, keys, Western tableware, hardware for decoration and construction, and thelike, a white (silver-white) color tone may be required. To cope with such requirements, copper alloy products are subjected to a plating process such as nickel-chrome plating. However, the plated products have the problem that the plating layer of thesurface is peeled off with extended use, and there is a problem in the case of reuse, since when the plated products are re-melted the plating material mixes with the copper alloy and decreases quality. Thus, a Cu--Ni--Zn alloy representing a lustrouswhite color on its own has been proposed. For example, in JIS C7941 (Non-Patent Citation 1), free-cutting nickel silver containing Cu (60.0 to 64.0 mass %), Ni (16.5 to 19.5 mass %), Pb (0.8 to 1.8 mass %), Zn (remainder), and the like is prescribed. In Japanese Patent Publication No.2828418 (Patent Citation 1), a white-based copper alloy containing Cu (41.0 to 44.0 mass %), Ni (10.1 to 14.0 mass %), Pb (0.5 to 3.0 mass %), and Zn (remainder) is disclosed.

Gold Alloy Wire For Ball Bonding - Patent 8147750The present invention relates to a gold alloy wire for a ball bonding, and relates to a gold alloy wire excellent in fracture load of a tension test when a wire elongation percentage is 4% (hereinafter, written as a wire strength); having lesscontamination and shrinkage holes generated by an oxide on an entire surface of a molten ball when the molten ball is formed; excellent in stability of a shape of a ball which is formed by melting (hereinafter, written as a molten-ball formability);excellent in roundness of a compression ball shape when the ball formed by melting is ball bonded (hereinafter, written as roundness of a compression ball shape); and excellent in stitch bondability for bonding a wire by pressing it against a frame, asubstrate, etc., by a capillary (hereinafter, written as a stitch bondability).DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART When connecting an electrode on an IC chip and an external wire, wire boding methods for interconnecting via a wire are known. Out of these methods, by a method for bonding an aluminum electrode on the IC chip and the wire, a thermosonicbonding and an ultrasonic bonding play a major part. Herein, the thermosonic bonding is usually performed by a ball bond bonding method. A bonding method by the ball bond bonding method is described by reproducing figures shown in Patent Document 1 in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1A, a wire 2 is inserted into a capillary 1, a tip end of the wire 2 is arranged to face an electric torch 3, and in this state, a discharge is generated between the wire 2 and the electric torch 3, thereby heating and meltingthe tip end of the wire 2, whereby a ball 4 is formed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1B, the capillary 1 is descended to press and bond the ball 4 onto an aluminum electrode 5 on an IC chip 6. At this time, although not shown, an ultrasonic oscillation is added through the capillary 1, and the ICchip 6 is heated by a heater block. Thereby, the ball 4 is thermally compressed to become a compressionView doc
Superalloy Compositions, Articles, And Methods Of Manufacture - Patent 8147749The invention relates to nickel-base superalloys. More particularly, the invention relates to such superalloys used in high-temperature gas turbine engine components such as turbine disks and compressor disks. The combustion, turbine, and exhaust sections of gas turbine engines are subject to extreme heating as are latter portions of the compressor section. This heating imposes substantial material constraints on components of these sections. Onearea of particular importance involves blade-bearing turbine disks. The disks are subject to extreme mechanical stresses, in addition to the thermal stresses, for significant periods of time during engine operation. Exotic materials have been developed to address the demands of turbine disk use. U.S. Pat. No. 6,521,175 discloses an advanced nickel-base superalloy for powder metallurgical manufacture of turbine disks. The disclosure of the '175 patent isincorporated by reference herein as if set forth at length. The '175 patent discloses disk alloys optimized for short-time engine cycles, with disk temperatures approaching temperatures of about 1500.degree. F. (816.degree. C.). Other disk alloys aredisclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,104,614, US2004221927, EP1201777, and EP1195446. Separately, other materials have been proposed to address the demands of turbine blade use. Blades are typically cast and some blades include complex internal features. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,061,426, 4,209,348, 4,569,824, 4,719,080, 5,270,123,6,355,117, and 6,706,241 disclose various blade alloys.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One aspect of the invention involves a nickel-base composition of matter having a relatively high concentration of tantalum coexisting with a relatively high concentration of one or more other components. In various implementations, the alloy may be used to form turbine disks via powder metallurgical processes. The one or more other components may include cobalt.

Creep-resistant Steel - Patent 8147748BACKGROUNDField of Endeavor The invention relates to steels based on 9-12% chromium which are used for rotors in the power station sector. It relates to the selection and the co-ordination, in terms of quantity fractions, of special alloying elements which make itpossible to set an unusually high creep resistance, at temperatures of 550.degree. C. and above, in this material. The steel according to the invention is also to have high toughness after long-term aging, so that it can be used both in gas turbinesand in steam turbines.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART Martensitically hardenable steel based on 9-12% chromium are materials in widespread use in power station technology. They were developed for application in steam power stations at operating temperatures of above 600.degree. C. and steampressures of above 250 bar, in order to increase the efficiency of the power stations. Under these operating conditions, the creep resistance and the oxidation resistance of the material play a particular part. It is known that the addition of chromium in the abovementioned range not only allows high resistance to atmospheric corrosion, but also makes it possible to have the full hardenability of thick-walled forgings, such as are employed, forexample, as monobloc rotors or as rotor disks in gas and steam turbines. Proven alloys of this type usually contain about 0.08 to 0.2% carbon which, in solution, makes it possible to set a hard martensitic structure. A good combination of heatresistance and ductility of martensitic steels is made possible by an annealing treatment in which a particle-stabilized subgranular structure is formed as a result of the precipitation of carbon in the form of carbides, while at the same time thedislocation substructure is recovered. The annealing behavior and the properties resulting from this can be influenced effectively by the choice and the co-ordination, in terms of quantity fractions, of special carbide formers, such as, for exaView doc
Medical Devices And Method For Making The Same - Patent 8137614CLAIM OF PRIORITY This application claims priority under 35 USC .sctn.119(e) to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/672,891, filed on Sep. 26, 2003 now abandoned, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to medical devices, such as, for example, stents and stent-grafts, and methods of making the devices.BACKGROUND The body includes various passageways such as arteries, other blood vessels, and other body lumens. These passageways sometimes become occluded or weakened. For example, the passageways can be occluded by a tumor, restricted by plaque, orweakened by an aneurysm. When this occurs, the passageway can be reopened or reinforced, or even replaced, with a medical endoprosthesis. An endoprosthesis is typically a tubular member that is placed in a lumen in the body. Examples of endoprosthesesinclude stents and covered stents, sometimes called "stent-grafts". An endoprosthesis can be delivered inside the body by a catheter that supports the endoprosthesis in a compacted or reduced-size form as the endoprosthesis is transported to a desired site. Upon reaching the site, the endoprosthesis isexpanded, for example, so that it can contact the walls of the lumen. When the endoprosthesis is advanced through the body, its progress can be monitored, e.g., tracked, so that the endoprosthesis can be delivered properly to a target site. After the endoprosthesis is delivered to the target site, theendoprosthesis can be monitored to determine whether it has been placed properly and/or is functioning properly. Monitoring of the position of the endoprosthesis during implantation is typically performed by a radiographic technique such as fluoroscopy. The radiographic density of the metal endoprosthesis is different from bone and tissue, and the deviceis observed in the fluoroscopic image from the visible difference in contrast and grey scale relative to the surrounding biological material. The disadvantage oView doc
Austenitic Stainless Steel Welded Joint And Austenitic Stainless Steel Welding Material - Patent 8137613The present invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel welded joint and an austenitic stainless steel welding material. More particularly, the present invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel welded joint and an austeniticstainless steel welding material, which not only can be widely applied to steel pipes, steel plates and so on in such fields where high temperature strength and corrosion resistance are required, but also have excellent weld solidification crackingresistance, in spite of a P content as high as more than 0.04%.BACKGROUND ART Austenitic stainless steels, for example, such as SUS 304, SUS 316, SUS 310S and others, which are regulated in JIS G 4304 (2005), are materials containing Cr and Ni as main alloying elements, and they are excellent in corrosion resistance. However, in the present state of affairs, restrictions are imposed on the contents of the respective constituent elements for any of the austenitic stainless steels. In particular, the content of P, which is an impurity element, is generallylimited to a level not more than 0.045%. Furthermore, the P content in the welding materials to be used for welding these steels, for example in "austenitic stainless steel wire rods for welding" described in JIS G 4316 (1991), is limited to a furtherlower level, namely not more than 0.030%. On the other hand, it is known that when P, which is essentially an impurity element is contained at a high concentration, it contributes toward precipitation hardening by making M.sub.23C.sub.6 carbides finer, hence leads to improvements increep strength. Therefore, for example, the Patent Documents 1 to 3 propose techniques in which P is allowed to be contained in high concentrations. That is to say, the Patent Document 1 discloses "an improved heat resisting steel for valves". The said steel contains 0.05 to 0.40% of P which produces a precipitation hardening-promoting effect, and therefore the high temperature-strengththereof is markedly incrView doc
Austenitic Stainless Steel - Patent 8133431The present invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel, particularly to an austenitic stainless steel which contains C-fixing elements. More particularly, the present invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel, which containsC-fixing elements and can be applied in manufacturing heating furnace pipes and the like which are used in power plant boilers, petroleum refining and petrochemical plants. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to an austeniticstainless steel, which contains C-fixing elements and shows excellent liquation cracking resistance and embrittling cracking resistance in a weld zone and also has high corrosion resistance, in particular high polythionic acid stress corrosion crackingresistance.BACKGROUND ART Due to the recent growing demand for energy, new power plant boilers, petroleum refining and petrochemical plants have been built. An austenitic stainless steel to be used in these manufacturing heating furnace pipes and the like, for use inthose facilities is required to have not only excellent corrosion resistance but also excellent high temperature strength. In such a technological background, for example, the Non-Patent Document 1 proposes a highly corrosion resistant austenitic stainless steel, having a reduced content of C together with N which is set at a level within a specified range, andcontaining Nb as a C-fixing element at a level within a specified range, thereby having excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance and high temperature strength, and showing no sensitizing even after a long period of aging without post heat treatmentafter welding. Concerning the cracking in the Heat Affected Zone (hereinafter referred to as "HAZ") of the austenitic stainless steel which contains C-fixing elements after welding, the Non-Patent Document 2 declares that the carbide dissolution in weldingthermal cycles and reheating to the M.sub.23C.sub.6 precipitation temperature in the subsequent cycles lead to the formView doc
Bismuth - Download as PDFBACKGROUND The disclosure generally relates to low-pressure mercury discharge lamps. More specifically, the disclosure relates such lamps having a lamp fill including mercury, bismuth and indium, and methods of dosing the lamp with the fill material usingsubstantially solid mercury-containing pellets of high purity, uniform size, and uniform composition. Fluorescent lamps are well known and contain a vaporizable lamp fill including mercury. In the manufacture of such lamps, it is necessary to introduce very small amounts of mercury into the light emitting chamber of the lamp. For example, somefluorescent lamps include only about 0.1 mg up to about 10 mg of mercury, depending on the size of the lamp. While it is possible to introduce liquid mercury directly into the lamp, it is very difficult to obtain precise doses of such small quantitiesof mercury due to the high surface tension of mercury. Consequently, lamps dosed by using liquid mercury usually contain more mercury than is needed for operation of the lamp leading to environmental concerns in the disposal of the lamps. To addressthese concerns, mercury has been combined with other elements to form a substantially solid lamp fill material, thereby easing the handling and dispensing of the material while providing a means for dosing precise amounts of mercury into the lamp. Another concern is maintaining the mercury vapor pressure at a level such that the lamp operates efficiently within a range of temperatures. The mercury vapor atoms convert electrical energy into ultraviolet radiation. The mercury vaporpressure is preferably in the range of approximately 2.times.10.sup.-3 to 2.times.10.sup.-2 Torr and optimally, about 6.times.10.sup.-3 Torr. The ultraviolet radiation is in turn absorbed by a phosphor coating on the interior of the lamp wall andconverted to visible light. As the operating temperature of the lamp increases, the mercury vapor pressure increases and more of the ultraviolet radiation is seView doc
Conductive Material - Patent 81334321. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a conductive material used for a resistor and a sensor, which is enhanced its mechanical strength while maintaining a stable resistance ratio. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, conductive materials have been used in a gas sensor for flammable gas such as carbon monoxide and butane, which conducts the detection of the gas on the basis of a change in resistance while heating a catalyst by resistanceheating. Further, in a thermistor and an oxygen sensor using a solid electrolyte, a lead for a sensor of gas such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide, and a lead for a semiconductor gas sensor, conductive materials have been used, which are requiredto have a stable resistance at high temperatures and have enhanced mechanical strength by a solid solution such as Pt or a Pt--Rh alloy. Such conductive materials are not remarkably oxidized even in the atmosphere at high temperatures and have stablecorrosion resistance. Conductive materials to be used for the above-mentioned purposes are required to have excellent corrosion resistance and stable resistance at the temperature to be used. Such conductive materials are used in the form of a wire rod, a thin filmproduced by vapor deposition or sputtering, and a film obtained by printing and heating a paste or the like. In particular, when the conductive material is used as a wire rod, it is required to have mechanical strength at a certain level or higher. Further, depending upon the purpose, the conductive material is used as a wire rod with a diameter of 50 .mu.m or less, which is required to have satisfactory workability, as well as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and oxidation resistance. Inorder to satisfy those requests, Pt and a Pt--Rh alloy are used. However, Pt has low mechanical strength, and in the case where Pt is heated in a high-temperature during the process, crystal grains become coarse. When bending is performed during the pView doc
Grain Refinement By Precipitate Formation In PB-free Alloys Of Tin - Patent 8128868The present invention relates to metallic alloys, and particularly to lead-free alloys of tin that may be employed in a Controlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) ball. The present invention also relates to structures employing the same, andmethods of forming the same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Once formation of semiconductor devices and interconnects on a semiconductor wafer (substrate) is completed, the semiconductor wafer is diced into semiconductor chips, or "dies." Functional semiconductor chips are then packaged to facilitatemounting on a circuit board. A package is a supporting element for the semiconductor chip that provides mechanical protection and electrical connection to an upper level assembly system such as the circuit board. One typical packaging technology isControlled Collapse Chip Connection (C4) packaging, which employs C4 balls each of which contacts a pad on the semiconductor chip and another C4 pad on a packaging substrate. The packaging substrate may then be assembled on the circuit board. Thus, the packaging substrate facilitates formation of an electrical link between the semiconductor chip and a system board of a computer. A semiconductor chip is mounted on a die foot print area located on a top surface of the packagingsubstrate. The die foot print area contains C4 pads on which a semiconductor chip may be attached by C4 bonding. A typical semiconductor chip employing a packaging substrate may comprise about 5,000 input/output nodes. Each of these nodes is electrically connected to a C4 pad on a top surface of the semiconductor chip in a two dimensional array. Typicaltwo dimensional array configurations for the C4 pads include 4 on 8 configuration, which employs C4 solder balls having a diameter of 4 mils (approximately 100 microns) and a pitch of 8 mils (approximately 200 microns) in a rectangular array, and 3.0 on6 configuration, which employs C4 solder balls having a diameter of 3.0 mils (approximately 75 microns) and a pitch ofView doc
Stainless Steel Weld Overlays With Enhanced Wear Resistance - Patent 8124007FIELD The present disclosure relates to alloy compositions for arc welding and more particularly to stainless steel weld overlay compositions with enhanced wear resistance.BACKGROUND The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. Industrial components are often subjected to operational and environmental conditions that require good corrosion and wear resistance. Examples of such industrial components and their applications include piping, process equipment, and mixingequipment, among others. These industrial components often include a stainless steel weld overlay to improve the corrosion resistance. Although stainless steels provide adequate corrosion resistance, their abrasion resistance is relatively poor. In fact, for austenitic stainless steels of the 304 type (hardness HRC 25-35), the abrasion resistance as measured by the ASTM G65test is lower than that of a plain carbon steel. The martensitic stainless steels of the 410/420 type have somewhat better wear resistance as they are typically at hardness levels of HRC 40-50. Hardened low alloy steels (HRC 50-55) have significantlybetter wear resistance. These wear comparisons are shown in FIG. 1.SUMMARY Compositions for stainless steel weld overlays having enhanced wear resistance are provided by incorporating second phase titanium Carbide (TiC) and/or niobium Carbide (NbC) into matrices of various types of stainless steel such as 316L and 420. Preferably, TiC and NbC precipitates are formed in-situ during the weld overlay process while minimizing the amount of Carbon (C) going into solid solution in the matrix of the weld overlay. The alloys of the present disclosure have increased abrasionresistance due to the incorporation of second phase carbides of the TiC and NbC type. The incorporation of these phases results in significantly enhanced wear resistance. In one form, a stainless steel weld overlay composition of thView doc
Free Cutting Steel - Patent 8124008This application is a U.S. National Phase Application under 35 USC 371 of International Application PCT/JP02/12559 filed Nov. 29, 2002.TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a free cutting steel, particularly, to a low carbon free cutting steel to which lead is not added or in which the lead addition amount is markedly decreased from the conventional level of 0.15 to 0.35 mass %,which is adapted for use as a substitute steel for the conventional low carbon resulfurized and leaded free cutting steel, to a low carbon resulfurized and leaded free cutting steel superior in machinability to the conventional low carbon resulfurizedand leaded steel, and to a resulfurized or resulfurized and leaded free cutting steel having an oxygen concentration lower than that in the prior art, low in the surface flaw, and excellent in machinability.BACKGROUND ART A low carbon resulfurized and leaded free cutting steel, in which lead (Pb) and sulfur (S) are added as the free cutting elements to a low carbon steel for imparting a free-cutting capability to the steel, is known as a low carbon free cuttingsteel. However, there is a requirement for suppressing the use of Pb, which is used as one of the free cutting elements, in view of the earth environmental problem.

The Lady Pioneers looked to continue their strong WVIAC start by winning one or both of their games against conference power Alderson-Broaddus College, but fell in both contests by scores of 3-4 and 1-4.
In the first game, the Lady Pioneer line up featured Leanne Harris at second, Lacey Powell at short stop, Meagan James at third, Stacy Mack in center field, Beth Moore at first, Lorrie Chaperon designated hitter, Jessica Gilchrist in left field, Candice White catching, Karly Eskew in right field, and Mandy Parkulo on the mound.
AB scored first in the second inning, but the Lady Pioneers answered back quickly in the bottom of the second. With two outs, Lorrie Chaperon singled, then was brought home by Jessica Gilchrist's double to tie the score 1-1. Then, with Gilchrist on 2nd, Candice White singled to score Gilchrist and put the Pioneers up by 1. AB got out of the inning without any further damage when Karly Eskew grounded out to short.
AB scored again in the top of the third to tie the score 2-2, then scored again in the fifth to take a one-run lead. In the bottom of the fifth with one out, Candice White singled and was advanced to second base by Karly Eskew's sacrifice bunt. Leanne Harris doubled to score White and tie the score 3-3, but was stranded when Lacey Powell struck out. The Battler's scored in the top of the sixth to take the lead 4-3. Unfortunately, the Lady Pioneers went hitless for the rest of the game and lost by the final score of 4-3.
In the second game, Coach Moore put Jade Jean at first and started Tiffany Bush on the mound. AB got things going in the first inning, as they scored 1 run on 2 hits. The Lady Pioneers didn't get a hit until the third inning, when Jessica Gilchrist singled. Karly Eskew sacrificed to move Gilchrist to second. She was left on base however, as GSC couldn't manufacture another hit to bring her in and AB got out of the inning without giving up a run.
Neither team had a hit in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. In the fifth, Mandy Parkulo took the mound to finish the game. In the top of the seventh, AB capitalized on a batter hit by a pitch and a wild pitch, and a double and a single to score 3 runs on 2 hits. In the bottom of the seventh, Lacey Powell reached first on an AB error. Meagan James popped up to the second baseman for the 1st out of the inning. Stacy Mack doubled and Powell advanced to third. Jade Jean's sacrifice fly scored Powell, but Lorrie Chaperon struck out to strand Mack on the bases. The final score was 4-1.
The Lady Pioneers' games with Ohio Valley University–originally scheduled for Sunday–have been moved to Tuesday. Game time is 5:00 pm.

Three Takeaways from Sundance
- Geoff Rynex
Sundance, America's leading ski-town-based film festival (sorry, Telluride) kicked off in Park City this past weekend.
Here's what we learned.
Sundance, America's leading ski-town-based film festival (sorry, Telluride) kicked off in Park City this past weekend.
Here's what we learned.
On the occasion of this weekend's premiere of the Steve Jobs biopic, jOBS, at Sundance, we are ever reminded of his iconic allegiance to the turtleneck. (Ashton Kutcher seems to have done a fine job of pulling it off himself.)
In fact, ever since we told the menswear-osphere to stop fearing the turtleneck, we've been noticing dapperly swaddled necks popping up everywhere—we won't take full credit for the garment's renaissance—on runways, in magazines, at tradeshows and even in our favorite menswear shops.
Luckily for all the shelter-seeking necks out there, we've rounded up the five best gateway turtlenecks currently on the market.»
The Sundance Film Festival is one of the few places it's considered fashionable to dress like a ski bunny (perhaps also the long weekend of alpine-chic-ness in March known as Aspen Fashion Week). Take James Franco, here, walking the red carpet wearing a grin that calls into question his sobriety—and in a winter sweater from Dockers.
Matthew McConaughey showed up a few minutes later, wearing a puffer jacket with his lift pass still attached. Anywhere else, they'd be lambasted for walking a red carpet in anything less than a blazer, but in Park City, UT, skiwear is the new formalwear. Sure, it's a small window of opportunity, but when the majority of your life is spent running the press gauntlet, not having to change between a screening and a day on the slopes is one worth capitalizing on.
We're hoping to catch Redford in his full-on Downhill Racer garb soon enough.»
The Locks of Victory: Matt Sullivan lays into Tom Brady for cultivating "the worst case of modern-day helmet hair this side of Callista Gingrich." Real talk. [Esquire]
The Ghost Ads: A look at half-erased ad murals in Highland Park, Michigan. ACL bait at its finest. [NYTimes]
The Other Toupee: On the heels of Thom Browne's bizarre Paris show, Lawrence Schlossman breaks down the basics of Merkin style. Follow them at your own risk. [How to Talk To Girls at Parties]
The Small Screen: And in case you're jonesing for some Sundance overflow, you can check out nine of the short films in contention here. [Yahoo! Screen]
There are lots of reasons to stay away from the L.A. denim world—for one, we just plain don't like distressed clothes—but if you get past any lingering style reservations, it can be a pretty fascinating scene. Particularly if you've got a camera handy.
Sundance recently took a trek into the dark heart of Ed Hardy-ness and came away with Dirty Denim, a 15-minute series of web shorts that convince us it's worse than we ever imagined. Small labels scramble over distressing techniques, play hardball with buyers, and try to keep their styles safe from the eight other labels they share a washhouse with—and just about everyone's scrapping.
Of course, the real horror is what they do to the jeans. Potassium sprays, paint splatters and rotary grinders are all turned against defenseless raw denim with little to no remorse. The rest isn't too different from the mind-boggling hustle of the rest of Hollywood—but it should give pause to anyone who's day-dreamed about starting up their own denim line.

This Year's Model: Vanity Fair singles out their nine favorite starlets. Carey Mulligan seems to find it all hilarious, which seems about right. [Vanity Fair]
The Victory Lap: Free & Easy lands a sit-down with Frank Muytjens of J.Crew, fresh of his GQ/CFDA nomination. And no, for the last time, they're not a biker magazine. [Mister Crew]
And the Winners Are…: The 20 most buzzed movies from Sundance. [Vulture]
Putting It On Wax: A few glamour shots from this year's Beard & Mustache Championships in Anchorage Alaska. Don't try this at home. [Behance]
One of the wonderful things about web culture is how well it accommodates the idiosyncratic and the strange. With a low budget and a dedicated audience, there's no telling how far out you'll go. And we'd say the sex lives of limpets is pretty far out.
Isabella Rossellini just returned for another season of her cardboard biology short films, titled Green Porno, and newly hosted by the Sundance Channel. And it's only getting weirder.
The series started by detailing the mating habits of house flies and honey bees, but now they're onto sea creatures like limpets, starfish and whales. There are still plenty of hermaphroditic invertebrates, but the sets are a whole lot more involved, and the new mood is more mournful than scientific.
In other words, it's pretty offbeat stuff—even for the geeked-out world of nature documentary. Even with the help of the Sundance Channel, it's hard to imagine this kind of project making it to television without a long string of miracles.
But a computer screen…that's another story.

The Seven Veils…: Lily Allen tries out Interview and apparently joins the army in the bargain. [FashionIndie]
The New Crew: Obama loves J. Crew more than we ever would have guessed. Does that mean we can look for a few v-neck sweaters in the months to come? [Racked]

Target for testing left AF, recommended by Nikon
Mar 21, 2013
Just caught up by coincidence with a very old friend of mine who also happens to have a D800. She thinks she has the left AF issue. She spoke to Nikon about it. Nikon approved her set-up for testing and suggested as a good target (Leonard, don't fall off your chair): a person standing in front of a wall!!!
I responded to her that I thought it made sense for technical reasons, but also because it reflects 'real life' picture environment and not lab like testing that is not necessarily representative of real shooting conditions!!!!
Well done Nikon!!!

We loved our stay at Beach Lodge. The location is outstanding. We are a family of four with two boys aged 8 and 11. They loved the freedom and access to the beach. We loved the style and feel of a beautifully decorated and relaxed home. A well kitted out home for the family who want to share in the cooking as the kitchen is well laid out for fun entertaining. We are so pleased we found this gorgeous venue and cannot wait to find some time in their schedule to go back.
The Beach House Lodge
The Beach House Lodge is positioned on a secluded Salt Rock Beach. It has four very spacious and luxurious en-suite bedrooms, of which some have a private TV lounge. All rooms have incredible sea views. The Beach House sleeps eight guests, offering absolute luxury and privacy. A magnificent wooden pool deck spans the entire width of the lodge and overlooks the sea. There is ample outdoor furniture for lounging and soaking up the sun while you watch the dolphins play. During the winter months, the whales are spotted regularly in front of the lodge and they can be seen from every room in the house.
The house comprises an open-plan, fully-equipped kitchen, which includes a washing machine, tumble-dryer and dishwasher. The lounge area is equipped with a large LED TV with hotel-style DStv. Please bring your own HD decoder and smart card should you require more channels. The large dining room has seating for 12 guests and this area opens out onto the wooden deck, braai and pool area. From here, guests can step out onto the pristine beach. There is also a second lounge area upstairs. The deck has designer outdoor furniture, with an eight to 10 seater table and chairs, three sun loungers, a large outdoor couch and a built-in braai. Guests can enjoy air-conditioning in all of the bedrooms and the upstairs TV lounge. The home includes three lock-up garages and extra secure parking for four cars. There is emergency power backup and a daily, weekday cleaning service.
Two tidal pools are located nearby for calm, leisurely swims and they are perfect for small children. The beach directly in front of the lodge offers excellent fishing and it has perfect conditions for paddle skiing, kitesurfing, swimming and surfing. The beach is protected by shark nets and the main beach, which is 200 m to the south, has professional life guards on duty.
Because of its unique and breathtaking location, The Beach House Lodge has proved to be a popular venue for photo shoots for brides and TV commercials. The Salt Rock Hotel, which is located next door to the lodge, offers a casual buffet and fantastic carvery. They are famous for their delicious, traditional Durban curries and excellent fish and chips. The Canelands Boutique Hotel is also next door and it offers yet another superb restaurant. There are four excellent restaurants within walking distance of the lodge.

LAS CRUCES >> Jesse's KC BBQ has closed its well-known Las Cruces food truck service.
The business, which was a fixture at the downtown farmers market as well as a mobile lunch location around the city, parked the signature rig and shut the doors earlier this month, owner Jessie Addison said. Health concerns have forced him to stop his regular rounds and put the lunch truck up for sale, he said.
Jesse's KC BBQ also was a favorite when Addison participated in the Project Main Street food truck round-up, offering breakfast burritos, barbecue burritos, ribs and pork shoulder, sandwiches and plates as well as special event catering.
For those interested in purchasing the business, Addison can be reached at 575-522-3662 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Malaria's contribution to World War One – the unexpected adversary
Bernard J Brabin Malaria Journal 2014, 13:497 (16 December 2014)

Better than you can imagine
on March 22 2012
Format: Blu-ray
Some movies deespite being good never get the publicity, respect, or the box office they deserve. This is one of those movies. It happens to be quite entertaining, and keeps your attention right to the end.
Middle Men relates the story of Jack Harris, a family man, with the perfect wife, perfect family, and a successful businessman.
It's 1995, and the internet is taking off. Two foolish geniuses hit upon a multi million dollar idea to market porn over the internet. Unfortunately, they have partnered with the wrong people, and are in over their head. One of them has written a very valuable computer program, which I agree is very smart and revolutionises the way business is done over the internet.
When Jack is asked to bail these guys out, he sees a huge opportunity, and gets into business with them, and is extremely successful. However, complications ensue, and Jack's values, and his family life come under threat, and he ends up in some potentially compromising positions, some of his own making, and some through the wildcard players he has become involved with.
You may wonder who Audrey Dawn is. She is a porn star, convincingly played by Laura Ramsay, the hottest sexiest blonde I have seen in a while, and who gives a very convincing performance here. She conveys a tremendous darkness in capturing a female porn star. Definitely one to watch for in the future.
I came to the movie knowing vaguely that it was about the porn business, so I did not know what to expect, or even have high expectations. It turned out to be much better than I imagined. The fact that it is based on a true story added to my enjoyment, as otherwise it would have been quite unbelievable.

Clever story-telling and fun to watch
Mischa Sandberg

Format: DVD

I have a personal issue with all the films ruined by an irritating and irrelevant voice-over narrative.
Middle Men is an exception, and Luke Wilson's story-telling narrative makes you almost believe this film was based on real events --- which it was NOT :-). Entertaining, sometimes humorous, definitely sexy. Luke Wilson, James Caan, Giovanni Ribisi and the very watchable Laura Ramsey carry off their understandable, even sympathetic, but never clean-handed characters.

The Internet is for Porn
Aug. 9 2010
Chris Pandolfi
Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
A section in the end credits for "Middle Men" asserts that, although it was inspired by a true story, the film is, in fact, a work of fiction. I've tended to find this annoying, especially in relation to horror movies. In the case of "Middle Men," however, the assertion fascinates me, for Christopher Mallick, the film's producer, has claimed that much of what we see - 80%, apparently - is based on his own experiences. A former chief executive of Paycom, the Texas-born entrepreneur was a key player in bringing the adult entertainment industry to the internet, pioneering the technology that makes online purchases, especially monthly memberships to porn sites, easy and secure. In essence, he was a middle man. His efforts have paid off; according to a set of statistics published by Jerry Ropelato in 2006, the annual revenue of internet porn was nearly $3 billion in the United States alone. I have no doubt that the rate has increased since then.
As to how much of this film is true, as to what facts have been embellished or altered or altogether made up, I obviously have no way of knowing. That, of course, only makes it that much more irresistible. In the film, Mallick is reinterpreted as Jack Harris (Luke Wilson), who begins as a respectable and competent businessman, having a knack for talking and negotiating with people of every flavor, including mobsters that enjoy busting people's kneecaps with baseball bats. Sometime between the mid to late 1990s, he becomes involved with Wayne Beering (Giovanni Ribisi) and Buck Dolby (Gabriel Macht), two Los Angeles cokeheads who realized they could build an empire by scanning dirty pictures onto their computer, posting them on the internet, and selling them for $9.99. They have absolutely no business sense and are basically idiots, and never mind that Dolby was formerly a rocket scientist and has an IQ of 183.
What begins as a straight-and-narrow handling of affairs quickly escalates into something grander, Harris, Beering, and Dobly becoming wealthy entrepreneurs over the space of five years. It also becomes far more dangerous, Beering and Dolby having gotten involved with a Russian mobster (Rade erbedzija); he owns a strip club, you see, and they generate new content for their site by posting videos and photos of his girls. You know how it is with mobsters. They want their cut of the profits pronto. But you also know how it is with guys like Beering and Dolby. They blow off all their money on drugs. They don't know any better, not even when their faces are smashed in or their heads are shoved into toilets.
Harris, meanwhile, will have to use his business smarts to contend with a shady Las Vegas lawyer (James Caan), a spiteful young adult actress he has fallen in love with (Laura Ramsey), and a team of federal agents, led by Kevin Pollack, who want to use the adult actress as a weapon against international terrorism (and of all the movies I've ever seen, this is definitely a new one for me). He must also come to terms with the fact that he still has a family back home in Texas, and that, despite his wealth affording them the good life, he hasn't been there for him. Matters are complicated even further when Beering and Dolby, never able to think before they act, learn that they have unknowingly been exploiting underage models.
I grant you that this is a lot to take in. The director and co-writer George Gallo is reported to have written an expletive followed by the words, "keep up," on the front page of the screenplay as a reminder that, should the audience leave the theater for even a minute, they will miss something important. I don't particularly agree with the first part of his mantra (which I can't repeat), but the second part is spot on. You have to keep up. The thing is, that shouldn't be a problem; this movie is so well structured, so finely acted, and so cleverly written that you're libel to get hooked within the first ten minutes. It plays like a cross between "Boogie Nights" and a Guy Ritchie film, seamlessly interweaving comedy, crime, and mystery into a character-driven plot, the Harris character serving not only as the film's narrator and main player, but also as the emotional center.
Indeed, there is something oddly compelling about Jack Harris, the way an all-around respectable guy can allow himself to be so corrupted by the pursuit of the American Dream. His continuous narration is filled with regret, but there's also a certain dry, sardonic twist to his words, as if to suggest that the whole thing is utterly ridiculous. Well, it IS utterly ridiculous. And yet, a lot of it is true - if you're willing to take Christopher Mallick's word for it, that is. That blurring of fact and fiction, that inability to distinguish reality from fantasy, is part of why "Middle Men" was so enjoyable for me. That, and the fact that it's simply a fine movie. I liked the humor. I liked the intrigue. I liked the performances. And I really liked the screenplay; not only is it founded on an engaging premise, it's also refreshingly honest about what the internet really is for.

True story about the men who got rich off internet porn. If it wasn't true I wouldn't have believed it. A good time. I say B+

A true story about the men who came up with the idea to sell adult entertainment off the internet. After two slackers (Ribisi & Gabriel Macht) make over a million dollars in two months by coming up with a program to make money off of internet porn the russian mob wants thier cut. They become partners with Jack Harris (Wilson) who takes thier business in to a legit area and makes them more money then they dreamed of. This movie really surprised me in the fact that I was expecting a straight comedy. While this movie had its really funny moments its also dramatic throughout. An amazing cast helps tell the story of someone other then Mark Zuckerberg getting rich off the internet. The events that happen in the movie made me wonder why I've never heard of this guy before. Overall this was a very enjoyable movie and I highly recommend it. I give it a B+.
Would I watch again? - Yes, I definately would

The True Story

The True Story about Middlemen?
Well, first, I will talk a little about the movie and quite possibly that will bring the truth out.
This movie is pretty damn good for a first time producer. Actually, it is pretty good and highly entertaining no matter how much experience the producer had. It is filled with well known actors who fully expected this movie to reach a high grossing status. The story is very loosely based on a true story. Yes, two guys got together and started a company that became a huge success in online billing for the pornographic industry.
Yes, the lead character did come in and help the company restructure itself and go on to grow even bigger. No, the Russian mob wasn't involved. No, the creators of the company weren't coke addicts. No, child pornography never was a part of the true story. If you ever met the two original creators you would say, "Ho, hum... You guys run a porn business? You two are the most vanilla, boring, uneventful people on the planet!"
Chris Mallick was the spice in the company and that spice helped bring more traditional, crazy, fast-paced, stereotypical people on board as customers. Back then porn "people" didn't trust you when there are no lines, strippers and booze flowing during a transaction meeting. So basically the role of the characters in that regard are reversed.
In order to make the movie Chris Mallick used the funds in his online debit card program. This meant that his customers were his un-whiting backers. This would have been alright had the film debuted to a full theater release of over 2,000 screens. Instead it debut to 250 screens. Each theater averaged $400+- showing it had enough power to hit over a million dollar gross per week.
So the movie didn't technically flop. It hit REAL numbers. It just did it in less theaters.
Now things get a little juicier. As I stated before, Chris Mallick used money he didn't technically have to make this movie. He fully expected the movie to hit $4,000,000+ per week and have the money restored before anybody knew it was missing. This didn't happen. So in the movie he is the good guy... In real life he is the bad guy... How ironic?
Tens of thousands of his debit card holders lost their money. For some people it was a few hundred dollars. For others it was hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can find a list of people by country that are owed money by ePassporte by searching for "Epassporte lawsuit" and it will probably be the first site you see. In Russia and the Ukraine alone over $6,000,000 was stolen. Again... How ironic? In the movie he saved the co-creators from the Russian mob and in real life he is himself the target of the Russian mob!
The sad thing is that in most cases the people affected lived paycheck to paycheck in third world countries. This debit card had a VISA logo and, therefore, was accepted worldwide making it possible for these people to get paid via this card for their online work. Many were web designers, programmers and other grunt work jobs and didn't make millions in porn. In fact, they often made well under the US minimum wage for their work.
So... Go now and see the movie that is based on the semi-true story of Paycom.net (now EPOCH.com) that sparked the true story of the downfall of ePassporte.com!
Middlemen is highly entertaining. The acting is superb. The editing and dialogue is polished. I will even say that the production is amazing. After you are done watching it though... Search for ePassporte and get the real story. It will blow your mind!

This is a movie that had me laughing because of funny things, ridiculous things, and stupid things. I would switch back and forth from admiration to disbelief. How could two "smart" guys come up with a genious plan and squander it? The Blu-ray is very good quality.

I was expecting a comedy, but it turned out to be some sort of elaborate caper. Great line-up of players. I had to know how it ended. I was most surprised by Gabriel Macht. I had only really seen him in a couple of things. It was entertaining for sure.

Re: That split infinitive we all love...
When I was a youthful man, I bore bruised knuckles for my grammatical mistakes. Back in the days when teachers thought that any straying outside the lines meant a life that would generate chaos in society, rather than order, so they fought hard for students to abide by their lofty albeit misguided principles. They can't do this any longer. The power of the teacher has been plundered, all in the name of freedom.
Today, stalwart languages around the world are being frayed at the edges by the burgeoning youth, a group with a buying power that the consumerism machine beckons. Thus, the grammatical mutations made are tolerated and embraced for the profit making hidden agenda. Therefore... the rules really don't matter any longer. If you bastardize the grammar, you can call it "artistic license" and boldly walk away with indignant pride.

Woven fabrics, often made out of nylon, that use a special reinforcing technique that make them very resistant against tearing and ripping. During weaving, reinforcement threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern in the fabric. The main advantage of ripstop fabrics is that smaller tears and rips can't easily spread further in the fabric.
These Free People Ripstop Shorts ($98) are made using the ripstop technique and thus are highly durable.

We love a good two-in-one product (who doesn't?), but we're particularly smitten with this combination mattifying powder and bronzer. Why? The pressed powder absorbs excess oil and lends skin a silky finish, while the bronzer gives you a natural, sun-kissed glow. Plus, it comes in a sleek compact tin, complete with mirror and miniature powder brush for on-the-go touch ups.
I liked the texture of the product in the package, but less so on my skin. It looked relatively cakey after being applied after a tinted moisturizer. However, I wish the color would have been a bit darker in order to leave a bronzed tint on my MEDIUM colored skin. In addition, the little brush in the bottom gets in the way when trying to close the product.2
I typically wear bare escentuals, but this product is amazing! I love the way the case in done with the brush being kept in the bottom of the compact. It offers great coverage without looking caked on and it lasts all day. The bronzer duo is great to have to add a little highlight to your face.5
My blush/bronzer fades throughout the day, so I was glad to have a touch up for that. I love that its duo so you can use it on all areas for the face! Wouldn't use it as my main powder though, since I dont think the coverage is enough. I would probably purchase this in the future once my bronzer runs out.4
I was a little confused as to whether or not to mix the two powders or if I was supposed to layer them together. However, I like have the option, based on what my skin is doing on a given day. The sample size is quite ample, so I think the full size will be well worth the price. I recently tried the Tarte Amazonian Clay, which is also great for a matte yet bronzed powder but it does not have the concealer powder, so for a similar price, this is definitely the better deal!

The last announced PP that was cancelled was for about 18 million. This would have covered the Lotshi drill and 15% of related 3d cost for 1711. This was for .45.
While we wait for the announcement of the "next" PP, if ENG wants to raise an equal amount of the last attempt, we could be looking at a 50 million share addition to the current float at current SP prices. Hopefully Jeff can muster some sort of deal with a JV to reduce dilution/costs.
Dry season in Lotshi is nearing and to be able to drill this year, ENG needs to get it together.

Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to tobifs
Anyway I start to think that we all don't have the same prob... I see people getting glad of getting full bars of wifi when restoring settings or the complete phone.
I always got all the signal from my router. And router has always worked great so I'm not changing any setting of it because an Apple issue.
I only noticed this because I get poor cell signal at home, then I checked the 3g consumption and then noticed the wifi connection is not being used by the phone even being correctly connected. If I had got a great cell coverage at home, probably I would've not noticed.
I'm quite scared because I work in a commercial centre for a carrier selling iPhones, besides other phones, and I'm quite frightened of what to say when somebody come to me to tell me wifi doesn't work properly. Apple is letting me down as a customer but as a saleswoman aswell....
SpanishCop Oct 17, 2012 3:48 AM
Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to FrankDrebin76
In regards to Frank's comment..... though some may be happy with home router working I don't have that luxury. I need to be able to connect to a WIFI open to public or secure. Especially the secured ones. Working in law enforcement, our networks are secured and CAN'T be modified due to stipulations.
Basically, it should be universal that all smart phones which have been this way for quite some time allow you the options to connect. I shouldn't be expected to request my administrator at work to modify our network for me.... which they won't. I should also expect that if my iPhone 3g and 4 worked without any problems and my iPad 3 works though slow.... that I should be able to use my iPhone 5 in the same manner without having to change network settings on my router, it should just work.
Obviously, we don't live in a perfect world, and human errors do occur. Though it is a pain, I have had no trouble having Apple exchange my iPhone 5. As I said before it's like hitting the lottery. You have to get lucky and get a good one. I've heard quite a few people state they got a working iPhone 5 after several replacements in which they could connect to a secure network without issues.
I have not been so lucky and I'm on #3 iPhone 5. Luckily I have been able to connect to my WPA2 network with my 3rd phone though I still have some network issues, but this 3rd phone also has great reception and signals for 4G in my area compared to the others as well as much better reception for WIFI. I don't know if the antennas were weaker or what, but I definitely saw a big improvement from the others and though it is not working perfectly like it should, I really don't want to let go of this one and end up with one of the previous ones which was horrible.
At this point I'm stuck on either returning it in a couple days when my 30 days are up or take the chance and just wait. There is still a 3 to 4 week waiting period and my local stores still have people waiting to get one. I made the mistake to mail in my iPhone 4 to Gazelle and I can't go without a phone. So I'm not really sure yet on what I'm going to do. I don't know if a software update will fix the problem or if it will be a hardware issue. I know if I had my old iPhone, I would hold off and wait a little until things got ironed out, but that's not an option now.
Still trying to decide what I'm going to do.

Good words, sir. I have same opinion about this. It is the Apple problem. And it is Apple duty to fix this. Otherwise they'll lose a lot of customers. Probably including me.

Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to SpanishCop
Just to be clear: the reset network settings is in the phone settings, not the router.
I wish this would work for others like it worked for me.

Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to FrankDrebin76
I got my iphone 5 exactly last wednesday, and have been have wi-fi issues. My wi-fi is fast and works fine on my laptop and my ipod 4, as well as my mom's iphone 4s. But on my Iphone 5, i get really good wi-fi for about 1-2 minutes and then it stops working, but says it is still connected to the wi-fi, but won't connect to it at all... I have restored to factory settings, and reset the network setting and it still happens... Should I return it and get a new one?? Or is there an easy fix. Thanks.

Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to Ios6-notworking
Most Android manufacturers like Samsung have NO policy of keeping their devices up to date with the latest versions of Google's Android operating system --those OEMs decide if, when and which of their prior handsets to upgrade. If it's too cheap or caters mainly to affluent people who can afford to go buy a newer one, they might not upgrade their software for your prior purchase ever, or at least not in a timely manner. On the other hand, Apple seems to support ALL of their prior iPhone devices being upgraded for free to either iOS 4.2, or if they came out after 4.2, up to iOS 6.0 --and since iOS 5, you don't even have to dock your phone to a computer (or go to a genius bar), you can simply tap a button and it will install the latest update...
Hey, lastly, before you sign for your Samsung delivery, you may want to google for ANDROID MALWARE WARNING (and look at the hits from the past 24 hours). While you're at it, google for APPLE INJUNCTION S3 and note that Samsung could opt to just drop it like it's hot and ship a newer model that doesn't infringe leaving their prior consumers with a discontinued and unsupported product.
BTW, my second replacement iP5 has the WiFi/WPA2 issue too (though none of the other issues my first did) and I now believe this remaining issue is related to a chipset/firmware incompatibility that manifests during interference while talking to certain other chipset/firmwares used in some WiFi routers (including older Apple models). Apple should be able to improve that situation with a software update (it's excruciatingly difficult code, by the way) and/or by putting out a list of optimal WiFi routers --but-- if Apple needs to do a formal recall/replacement of iP5 or any product, know that they're down to their last $155 billion (with a b) and they don't really look at you (or you or you) like a "one-off sale" to burn through until their next model, They even have these cool things called "retail stores" all over the world where you can go hold them accountable and get help to maintain customer loyalty and satisfaction, all gratis --the people there are not even on commission. Still, it's a very irritating problem while Apple engineers sort through the data they have coming in from these first few millions of units shipped out of their contractor's factories in China.

Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to tobifs
Hello everyone,
My iPhone 5 already shipped with the 13.1 carrier update. Since day one I had been getting my wifi usage added on my data usage. Every time I downloaded something from iTunes match or watched a YouTube video, this issue would occur. Since the first iPhone in 2007, the wifi turns off when put in sleep mode, which is save power I assume. Now in iOS 6 here is what I have noticed:
I started downloading my iTunes Library onto my new phone (2000+ songs) via iCloud at around 10pm and a sudden 1,5GB data charge was added around 3am. The next thing I did was watch a National Geographic Documentary on the YouTube app at around 12am. The documentary is about 45min-1hr long. Again data was charged (this time 500mb). The next day which happened to be the first of my reset billing cycle I had already gotten the text from verizon claiming that I had exceeded my 2GB monthly usage. However on the Verizon website it said that I had only used about 1,5GB.
After doing A LOT of research, I found out that Verizon did admit to a bug in their notification system that was responsible for notifying the user about exceeding their data limit, when they really had not. I have had this bug occur to me back a few months ago when I was on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5. But that still does not explain why it is being charged as data in the first place. Now 1 month later, the billing cycle has just reset again and I was dedicated to figure out what exactly had been going on. Last night I was on YouTube watching another documentary on wifi. About 20 minutes in, I exited the fullscreen and went to check the data usage, and sure enough it was using LTE and had used about 116mb of cellular data.
So my conclusion is:
Even though the wifi should only turn off when the screen is locked and turned off, in iOS 6, it also deactivates after a certain time of inactivity. That gives explanation to both scenarios:
1. Leaving the phone locked, downloading songs all night.
2. Leaving the phone "inactive", although I am using this term very loosly as you are still utilizing the YouTube app.
So my guess is that the problem lies with iOS 6 itself, not Verizon and not the YouTube app. My advice is to turn off Cellular data whenever you are connected to wifi (at your house, work or public place) and turn it on only when you are on the go.
Please try this yourself. Watch a good ol' National Geographic Documentary and about 20-30min in exit the fullscreen mode and also check your data usage. Was it on LTE? Did it charge you data?
*Note that it may take some time to show up in the Cellular Usage under Settings -> General -> Usage -> Cellular Usage.
Congrats if you made it through all of this text.
dallasboy Oct 17, 2012 8:59 AM
Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to tobifs
So I got a warning on using 65% of my plan this morning. Is there a way (besides the ATT app or online) to see exactly when you have been using celluar data over the past few days? I have the DataMan app, but that is just a summary like ATT.
So, I turned off my cellular data here at work, and wifi and internet working but I suspect yesterday it was using LTE the whole time....argg!
dallasboy Oct 17, 2012 9:15 AM
Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to dallasboy
Ok, well scratch that! Even with cellular OFF, and wifi connected....it is USING LTE! Massive bug! Just checked usuage and it was zero before work and 50MB now checking emails.
Silverstar555 Oct 17, 2012 11:20 AM
Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to tobifs
I don't know if this matter but I did the reset network settings when I was in airplane mode, and it solved the problem. The iPhone restarted and all issues were gone.

Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to Silverstar555
I was willing to test your theory (I've tested them ALL) on my 3rd replacement iPhone 5 due to my inability to connect to wifi.
I reset in Airplane mode. Didn't work.
I reset in LTE mode. Didn't work.
I reset with cellular data off. Didn't work.
I reset with both wifi and cellular data on. Didn't work.
Worth a shot! Thanks for the suggestion. I am still waiting to hear back something - anything - from the engineers as promised but so far....not a darn thing.

StephPDX Oct 17, 2012 12:45 PM
Re: iPhone 5 wifi issues in response to StephPDX
I just heard back from a very friendly senior advisor (not the one that was supposed to contact me) and he gathered a ton of information off my phone (same as the other one did over a week ago) including my 2 most actively used routers (home and work).... (*sigh*) He acknowledged that this is a "somewhat known" issue but didn't go any farther than that. Unfortunately he never once admitted that this is in any way Apple's fault or issue. I told him that our 3, 4 and 4s iPhones connect to both routers with absolutely NO problems but it didn't seem to change his mind. He told me that he will send all of the information to the engineers and they might work with (in my case) Motorola and Netgear to see what can be done (if anything). That disappointed me. While I'm still somewhat willing to see where this goes, I am sad that they still didn't say "hey, this is widely known and Apple is actively working on solving it." That would've made me happier.
Meanwhile, my phone cannot connect to wifi and my data plan continues to skyrocket. I think if nothing is resolved by the end of this month, I am just going to get my money back and buy a droid.

The 49ers' offseason after the 2014 season was perhaps the most brutal a team has experienced in recent memory. Let's review some of the lows (painful though it may be).
I am not naive enough to think that new words can be spoken like magical incantations to suddenly change the culture and mentality that has long defined the NFL. However, old words will certainly guarantee the status quo.
With former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle's vision of "parity" having become a reality, it's hard to stand on one's hind legs and confidently make bold predictions. With that said, here are five intrepid predictions for the 2015 season.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was arrested Thursday night, accused of hit and run, DUI and vandalism. With a grim and heavy tone, head Coach Jim Tomsula announced on Friday that Aldon Smith would be released from the team.
While the NFL is saying that football has never been safer, some players feel otherwise. The recent retirements of Chris Borland and Anthony Davis give fans a glimpse into the sacrifices players make when it comes to their careers.
Players want to have a life when they leave the game. They don't want their brains to be turned to mush. Seeing what has happened, it's easy to understand these players' points of view.
The NFL is in a downward spiral, heading towards complete chaos, thanks to the behavior of many of its players, Ray McDonald included. The Chicago Bears decided to make a statement.
When it comes to great sports moments, Hail Mary touchdowns can't touch this. Walk-off home runs? Forget it. Even a March Madness buzzer-beater dulls in comparison. Chris Borland's retirement from the NFL blows them all away.
The question Iggles fans should be asking shouldn't be who won the power struggle? It should be why does a power struggle exist at all?
Michigan will love Harbaugh. He has a strong and consistent plan for how to build a program. He will win over parents and players and be a formidable recruiter. He will attract great assistant coaches. He loves his alma mater and will represent it well.
How can it be that the head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines is paid the same as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers? The 49ers, after all, have yearly revenue in excess of $300 million. The Wolverines' revenue is closer to $90 million. Can the coach's incremental value really be similar in the two cases? No.
The veteran running back celebrated the 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals this weekend and was brought to tears afterward thinking, "what if this is my last year?" Gore told a packed press conference that he became emotional wondering if he played his last game.
Atlanta handed New Orleans its fifth straight home loss with a 30-14 win in the Big Easy, which it has been for opposing road teams of late. The Falcons set up a winner takes all showdown with the Panthers next week and eliminated the Saints from playoff contention.
I wondered why pro athletes have not responded with the same outrage to the racial bias and negative stereotypes that have infected their sport.
The Raiders played their best game this season by far. Despite a tumultuous year, Oakland regained their competitive edge and gave their fans something they've been wanting for since 2011: A victory over the 49ers in the Battle of the Bay.
Washington tied the game again 10-10 with a 27-yard field goal from Forbath in the third. Despite taking the lead in the fourth, the Redskins were no match for the 49ers in the end. Washington lost their third game in a row and forth straight to San Francisco.

1994 Nissan Maxima
At 130000 I replaced the fuel injectors using rebuilt injectors since two were open when checked with an ohm meter. After 3000 miles I got some rough performance when I started the car on a cold morning. Checking the error code I got 51 which indicates an open in the injector circuit. However before I could check it out the problem cleared. I suspect it's going to come back. Is this a typical problem with injectors and should I get new ones rather than rebuilt if I need to replace them again?

When it comes to injectors I always opt for new. They are electronic solenoids as well as mechanical valves, just about everything in them wears to some degree.

Better take care of that ASAP or you gonna face a bigger problem when it takes out the ECM/Computer driver circuits.
What is it high or low resistance solenoids?

Run a fuel test from ur tank. Also use original nissan parts. Rebuild are okay but they are no equal. Lets be honest to each other. We got burn from some brand from our vendor even we make a living with on car only. Sometimes u can get away with it but only those who make a lliving in this industry know more on which rebuild to use and which not to use. Let me know how u come out. If u still have problems call me
