Overall, industry figures approve of America Online's plan to acquire interactive marketing services firm Advertising.com for $435 million in cash, though some had a few caveats.
The deal, which put a halt to the smaller company's plans for an IPO, is somewhat reminiscent of Yahoo's acquisition of Overture. It pairs an online publishing company with a marketing services firm. AOL will be able to deploy Advertising.com's technology across its network and effectively sell inventory on other publishers' sites.
"The news is great," said Joe Germscheid, a media buyer with Zentropy Partners. "I'm excited about it. It's one of those 'if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em,' deals. It will be a great thing for the whole AOL group."
Germscheid said, "the main thing to be top of mind for AOL would be to learn from the past and not duplicate mistakes made with other acquisitions, meaning non-integration." This was his only concern about the deal.
The media buyer said he was concerned that AOL would keep the acquisition a separate entity and "not integrate it into AOL's larger position of power."
Germscheid was not the only industry player to mention the issue of integration. Another was Scott Howe, general manager of advertising technology and services firm aQuantive's DRIVEpm. The aQuantive property liaises between publishers and advertisers, competing with Advertising.com.
"It's probably a great move if — and that's a big 'if' — they can integrate both companies," said Howe.
"These are two great companies and I have a lot of respect for both, one as a partner and one as a competitor," said Howe. "It's hard to argue with the strategy. It seems like a smooth move. From AOL's perspective, it makes sense. Certainly, for how they are allocating inventory on their network, it might be a solution for them."
However, according to Howe, the devil is in the details, or rather, the integration. "As with any acquisition, they'll have to manage through issues of cultural fit and technology integration and all the things that make acquisitions more complicated in reality than on paper," he said.
Howe touched also mentioned potential conflict as a concern. "I think from an advertiser perspective I would be a little wary of sharing my data with someone who represents a huge publisher out in the space. And from a publisher perspective, I'd hate to think I'm selling my media to potentially one of my biggest competitors for share of advertising dollars. It could be a conflict, though that's not to say they don't have answers," Howe noted.
"Advertising.com's publishing customers are many that compete with AOL," said a consultant who formerly worked with AOL. So I don't see anyone else signing up to let AOL sell ad space for other properties. Whether it's in an indirect way or not, I don't see it happening."
Germscheid disagreed, saying, "I don't see that there is a conflict. It is like Yahoo buying Overture."
Regardless of whether or not there is a conflict, the bottom line is that AOL "has found a way to upgrade its ad serving technology and ad targeting capability," according to the consultant. "Instead of having to build it, they bought it."
Addressing the literal bottom line, Kevin Lee, CEO of search engine optimization firm Did-It.com, said, "The first thing that struck me about the deal is that because Advertising.com has so many advertisers in their system, it's an easy way for AOL and its parent Time Warner to monetize their content. They can grow Advertising.com that way, by maximizing their inventory."
Also, Lee said, "There are a lot of advertisers already in the Advertising.com network. There's a lot of assets AOL and Time Warner have, magazines along the lines of Sports Illustrated. There could potentially be some interesting synergies there."

X-BV98 – Executives at the Upwell Consortium expressed their delight at the construction of the first wave of Astrahus-class Citadels in a press conference this afternoon, after the structures began to sprout up across New Eden in a frenzy of construction over the course of the weekend.
Speaking from Intaki Bank headquarters during a meeting of the Consortium's executive personnel, Lee Brinalle, Special Accounts Manager at Intaki Bank, spoke on behalf of the organization's leaders, declaring that "our cluster is witnessing the dawn of a new age. An age of prosperity and stability the like of which we have never seen before."
Ms Brinalle thanked the constituent corporations that form Upwell for their efforts in ensuring the rollout of blueprints and onlining of the fluid router support network for the new structures went as smoothly as possible. She also remarked that "the Upwell Consortium is incredibly proud to be delivering on our promise of a brighter tomorrow, providing the tools and technologies for established and aspiring entrepreneurs across the cluster to build their dreams. These Citadels, while an incredible feat of engineering, are but the foundations of what is still yet to come. We are very eager to continue working with independent capsuleers across the cluster, in the hope that together we can continue to work toward a brighter and more prosperous future for all."
In her closing remarks, Ms Brinalle also confirmed that all blueprints that were promised as rewards to capsuleers for their assistance with retrieving stolen research data have been issued, and that clothing which also formed part of the rewards is currently being manufactured, with a distribution date still to be set before the end of May.

Amazon MP3 to begin international rollout in 2008
Amazon has announced it will begin an international rollout of its Amazon MP3 DRM-free MP3 digital music store sometime in 2008. Recently, the company announced the addition of music from Sony BMG to Amazon MP3, making it the first digital music store to offer DRM-free songs from all four of the major music labels. "We have received thousands of e-mails from Amazon customers around the world asking us when we will make Amazon MP3 available outside of the U.S. They can't wait to choose from the biggest selection of high-quality, low-priced DRM-free MP3 music downloads which play on virtually any music device they own today or will own in the future," said Bill Carr, Amazon.com Vice President of Digital Music. "We are excited to tell those customers today that Amazon MP3 is going international this year." Amazon did not disclose a specific launch timeline for its individual international sites.

HAHA!! Like iTunes would ever encounter a fate Apple didn't foresee. They know what's up, consumer AND business end. Before long, most music on iTunes will be iTunes plus which is the BEST quality you can get on the BEST mp3 player that's able to play AAC…the iPod. True though, Amazon is gonna steal up a significant margin of the digital music market. But iTunes is FAR from being overrun anytime soon.

very good new yeah ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 28, 2008 at 4:16 AM (CST)
Excellent news at last. I hope this means it is truly international, rather than country by country as with iTunes or eMusic. Now that would be really advanced digital age thinking by the record labels…
Posted by Charles Starrett on January 28, 2008 at 4:51 AM (CST)
Be prepared to be ripped-off.
As soon as the Amazon MP3 Downloads store has anywhere near the clout of iTunes, you can be sure that the record companies will push the price of digital downloads higher and higher.

The New Zealand dollar advanced after US economic reports raised concerns about the strength of the world's largest economy, damping demand for the greenback.
The kiwi rose to 87.28 US cents at 8am in Wellington, from 86.78 cents at 5pm yesterday. The trade-weighted index touched a high of 81.26 overnight, close to the record 81.29 reached earlier this month, and was recently at 81.19 from 80.80 yesterday.
The US dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, touched a five-week low overnight after a report showed the US economy shrank at a 2.9 percent annual rate in the first quarter, instead of the 1 percent pace reported last month, the largest revision since the series began in 1976. Economists had expected a decline of about 1.8 percent. Meanwhile, a separate report showed orders for long-lasting US manufactured goods unexpectedly declined 1 percent last month, the first drop in three months.
"The US dollar weakened across the board due to weaker GDP data," ANZ Bank New Zealand strategist Carrick Lucas and senior foreign exchange strategist Sam Tuck said in a note. "Uncertainty in the US will keep NZD/USD stronger for longer."
The kiwi will probably trade between 86.80 US cents and 87.60 cents today, ANZ said.
Stronger US GDP in the second quarter may largely offset the first quarter declines, ANZ said.
Tonight, traders will be eyeing an inflation report in the US which is closely watched by the Federal Reserve. The core PCE deflator is expected to rise to a 1.6 percent annual pace in May, from a previous pace of 1.4 percent.
In New Zealand today, the Reserve Bank publishes details of mortgage lending for high debt borrowers at 3pm.
The New Zealand dollar advanced to 92.88 Australian cents from 92.68 cents yesterday, gained to 64.06 euro cents from 63.76 cents, rose to 51.42 British pence from 51.12 pence and jumped to 88.93 yen from 88.42 yen.

Man who barricaded himself surrenders
TUSTIN – A man who barricaded himself inside his apartment after police responded to a domestic-violence call is now in custody, authorities said.
The standoff, in The Alders Apartment Homes, ended peacefully at about 10:40 a.m. when the man turned himself in, said Tustin police Sgt. Duane Havourd. Residents have been let back inside the apartment complex.
The man, later identified as William Rolando Viera, 41, was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and making threats, Havourd said.
Police first went to the 15600 block of Williams Street about 4 a.m. on a domestic-violence call involving a man and a woman, Havourd said. When police arrived, Viera locked himself in the apartment.
The woman told police that the Viera has a violent criminal history and that there were firearms inside the apartment, Havourd said.
Officers found a shotgun with a pistol grip, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm handgun with a high-capacity magazine, Tustin police Lt. Tom Tarpley said.
All guns were unloaded, he said.
Police also retrieved 50 shotgun rounds, 80 handgun rounds and 20 rifle rounds kept with the weapons, Tarpley added.

Pioneer of scenario-based police training products dies
Guido Tanzini, 85, of Trenton, N.J. founded Dummies Unlimited
By PoliceOne Staff
WALNUT, Calif. — A pioneer of scenario-based police training products died before the holidays, PoliceOne learned Monday.
The long life of Trenton, N.J., native Guido J. Tanzini — he was 85 when he passed — included a stint in the US Army before he began developing the first baton training dummy in 1957, according to a tribute. Featuring human-like attributes, Numb John could endure thousands of baton strikes.
After some fine-tuning over the next decades as batons became more sophisticated and the less-lethal market expanded, Numb John began to resemble the model it is today, with a vinyl coating and a tougher exterior. Most agencies use it as a static training dummy for real baton strikes, incorporating other scenarios with Fist or Red Man suits and a practice baton.
Tanzini was actively involved in the law enforcement community and attended IACP annually over a 35-year stretch, until travel became difficult, according to son Phil Tanzini, Director of Operations at his father's company Dummies Unlimited Inc.
"He lived a full life at 85, and did not suffer much," Phil Tanzini said. "He'll be missed."

Packard Bell Audio Key II mp3 player
Ability to delete music files on the fly , built in microphone
Lack of a backlight and the choice of USB1.1 over USB2.0
The market may be awash with MP3 player memory sticks, however that doesn't seem to stop manufacturers churning them out like there's no tomorrow. Packard Bell's latest addition to its MP3 memory stick range is the Audio Key 256Mb. Sporting a retro black and white design and 256Mb of internal memory the company is hoping that is one will stand out from the crowd.
While the player may be chunkier than most MP3 sticks on the market, the lightweight (30g) device with its black and white retro styling and slightly rubberised feel to the casing makes for a good-looking unit. Down the centre is a medium sized Dot-Matrix LCD display (128x30dots) and that's enough for one line of song details, battery information et al. The Audio Key 256Mb is adorned with the usual controls: play, pause, stop, skip back and forward, volume and a hold key. There is also a menu key that gets you into the setup as well as other features of the player.
During use, the USB key is covered by a cap and its fitting is tight enough that you're unlikely to lose it when out and about- not as common as you might expect with this type of player. Power is provided by a single AAA battery that Packard Bell suggests will give 12 hours of continuous play. This has probably been achieved by the lack of a backlight on the LCD display, something that is slightly annoying, but then out of the two we would prefer more tunes.
Downloading tracks is simple albeit slow as unusually Packard Bell has opted for a USB1.1 socket rather than USB2.0. If you plan to change the track listing on a regular basis the wait could become annoying. Bar the grumbles with the transfer rate of songs, actually getting your songs on the player couldn't be easier. As with most USB MP3 memory stick players it's simply a case of plugging the device into a spare USB socket on your PC or Mac and transferring songs to the new removable drive.
Sound wise, the player was surprisingly good considering the headphones supplied in the box and the addition of six equaliser settings including an extra bass setting also helped.
For a memory stick player this is very good, the styling is there, as is the storage capabilities, battery life and sound quality. Other notable features we also liked were its ability to delete music files on the fly without a computer and a built in microphone, turning this player into a rudimentary digital voice recorder. Great for recording notes to yourself or for us journalists caught at an interview without your usual recorder. The only real downsides are the lack of a backlight and the choice of USB1.1 over USB2.0. If Packard Bell fixes those, then this will truly be a great entry-level player. For now it's just a very good start.

Fantastic finishes at the Saxton Field Athletics Track were not reserved for the Athletics New Zealand junior men's 3000m championships on Saturday evening.
The second annual Harold Nelson Classic, which served as a warmup for the title races, offered some thrills - and spills - of its own.
Dale Pritchard surpassed his own Tasman Centre and Athletics Nelson club records in the shot put and discus. Pritchard started with a 15.31m on his fourth throw of the shot put to surpass his former record of 15.22m. Then he rifled his first throw of the discus, 47.15m, bettering the 46.86m mark from last week's Mahar Cup in Greymouth.
German exchange student Stefani Aeschlimann joined Athletics Nelson at the meet registration desk and then promptly jumped 11.28m against the wind to break Anna Molineaux's W18 Tasman Centre and club triple jump record. She also won the long jump with 4.96m and the javelin with 36.70m.
Andrew Kennedy blasted out of the blocks in the 100m and won by six metres over Jonas Kale in a season's best 10.86sec. Kale won the 200m in 23.87sec, just ahead of Mitchell Chandler.
Hannah Shepherd also got off to a big start in the women's 100m. A strong finishing lean helped her hold off Claire Erasmus, Katie Thompson and Rosie Richmond-Taylor but sent her sprawling to the track after being clocked in 13.23sec. Those four runners finished within seven-hundreths of a second of each other.
Shepherd dusted herself off and returned in the 200m with the same result, finishing upright this time in a personal best 26.92sec and a stride ahead of Erasmus.
Chris Brake dominated the men's triple (13.13m) and long (6.20m) jumps. Culainn Stringer won a hotly contested men's javelin competition with 35.60m and the 400m in 57.9sec. Georgia Teakle set a personal best in winning the women's 800m in 2min 24.73sec. Bridie Edwards won the junior girls' mile in 5min 26.61sec, and Luke Kelly took out the boys' mile in 5min 3.99sec.
Athletics Nelson will hold its final Athletics Twilight Series meet of the season on Friday, starting at 6pm.

"Helping is really the best way, but watching someone lets you see how and why something is done while preparing food. It's important to learn how a dish is put together," English said about learning to cook American, Cantonese/Chinese, Mexican and now Indian cuisine. "I have also used cookbooks, television and the Internet. Once you get past the scariness of trying something new -- and you're wiling to learn -- the knowledge is out there, you just have to find it."
The stay-at-home mom was nominated by her husband, David, to be spotlighted as one of Clay County's Best and Most Unique Cooks because of her Indian recipe for Cashew Chicken.
"I'm so excited," she said about being able to share her recipe with others. "Cashew Chicken is my husband's favorite."
English, who enjoys cooking with her 6-year-old son Alejandro, admits her love of food and cooking started when she was a girl.
"Like most moms of the 1960s, when all the children went off to school, our mom went to work. She'd have ingredients out for dinner and I'd call her when I got home from school, wanting to help out by cooking," English said. "The first meal I remember cooking was a fluffy omelet and toast. I used my mom's cookbook. I was hooked from then on."
While in college, English worked as a nanny for a Chinese family who ate Cantonese food exclusively. Later, she cooked her way through a cookbook to learn about Mexican cuisine and recently learned the delicate intricacies of Indian cuisine from a neighbor while teaching English at a university in China.
"Cooking is a creative outlet for me," she said. "I love food."
The result of learning how to use "real spices" in so many various cuisines is a large spice cabinet in her kitchen inspired by Food Network star Alton Brown.
"I love how he's all about the science of cooking and using real forms of spices," she said. "Learning the science of how a dish is created is the ultimate satisfaction for me. Then, when it's done, you get to eat it."
English's cooking skills has allowed her to learn about and share different cultures with family and friends.
"Different cultures enjoy sharing their food and in turn their culture with others," English said. "Food bonds humans together because we all have to eat, which is why every culture has their own way of preparing food."
While cooking at home is more economical and nutritious, English enjoys raising her own food and herbs, making her own whole-hog sausage and is preparing to branch off into raising chickens in the future.
"I really should have been born in the pioneer days," English said, adding that she also enjoys sewing while walking around the new chicken coop in the back yard. "I'm ready to be a pioneer woman right now."
Cashew Chicken
This recipe serves four.
2� lb chicken, skinned
6 whole dried red chilies (use 3 for milder taste)
6 cloves
1 three inch cinnamon stick
� c grated coconut
1� c cashews - roasted, salted
1 large onion, chopped
12 garlic cloves, peeled
1 half inch piece fresh ginger, chopped
5 Tbsp oil
2� Tbsp coriander seeds, ground
1� tsp cumin seeds, ground
salt to taste
Cut chicken into 8 pieces.
In a large frying pan, without any fat or oil, toast red chilies, cloves and cinnamon over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring all the time. In the last 30 seconds add dry coconut. Turn off the heat and leave to cool.
In a food processor, grind the mixture with 3/4-cup water to a fine consistency. Set aside in small bowl.
Grind 1-cup cashews dry then add water to make a paste. Set aside in another small bowl. Grind onions, garlic and ginger with a little water into paste.
Put oil into the pan and heat. Add powdered cumin and coriander seeds for a second then pureed onion and garlic. Fry 10 minutes.
Add the spice/coconut mix. Fry 5 minutes or so.
Add chicken. Rub the spices into the chicken as you are dry frying for 10 minutes.
Add cashew paste. Mix it around a little more. Add some salt. Let cook 30 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is done.
Three minutes before serving, add the rest of the whole cashews to heat through.
This is a thick, dark curry that has whole cashews in it. Serve with chapattis or naan (a type of oven baked flatbread) and a green vegetable.
NOTE: When grinding the spices and cashews, make sure the pastes are smooth. If not, the curry will look curdled.
Show off your skills
firstname.lastname@example.com or via the post office to The Brazil Times, 100 N. Meridian St., Brazil.
Please include your contact information and that of the nominee (name, phone number and e-mail), the entire recipe and a sentence or two about why it is special.

This invention relates to quick connect tube couplings and more particularly to improvements in structures for such couplings.
The present invention is an improvement over couplings for flexible tubes used as fluid conduits in many different fluid power systems such as, for example, tubes for conveying pressurized air in vehicle air brake systems and air conditioning systems. The tubes require a coupling to connect the end of the tube to a body which may be a conventional fitting, valve, manifold, or similar device for transmitting and receiving pressurized air. Connecting a tube to a body, or removing the tube from a body, can be a time consuming and expensive task which is frequently performed in the field where specialized tools may not be readily available.
There are a wide variety of "push-to-connect" type couplings which permit a tube to be quickly and easily connected to a body without the use of tools. With these couplings, the tube is connected by simply press fitting the coupling in a bore within the body and then inserting the leading end of the tube into the coupling. Typically, the coupling contains a plurality of components which releasably retain the tube therein.
In order for presently used couplings to perform effectively, the bores in the bodies to which the tubes are connected are stepped and formed with relatively tight tolerances. In order to reduce manufacturing expenses and lessen the occurrences of coupling malfunctions, it is preferable to have unstepped bores which can be made with higher tolerances. Since currently available couplings require stepped bores, there is a need for new quick connect tube couplings which function effectively with an unstepped bore configuration.
In view of the aforementioned considerations, it is a feature of the present invention to provide new and improved quick connect couplings which are readily usable to connect tubes and plugs in unstepped bores.
In view of this feature and other features, the present invention is directed to couplings for connecting tubes or plugs to circular unstepped bores within a body wherein the tubes or plugs each have selected inner and outer diameters. The couplings comprise a tubular tube support having an inner, axially extending tube insertion portion with an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the tube and plug. The tube support also has a radially extending portion with an axially facing surface. An annular sleeve abuts the axially facing surface of the tubular tube support and a collet having a radial flange portion and a tube gripping portion with an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the insertion portion of the tube fits within the sleeve. The collet has a frictional surface therein for engaging the tube or plug. A primary O-ring seal is disposed inboard of the collet and around the insertion portion of the tubular tube support. The primary O-ring seal has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the tube insertion portion of the tube support for sealing against the outside surface of the tube. A secondary O-ring seal is disposed between the coupling and the circular bore within the body for sealing therewith.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the tubular tube support is plastic and, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the tube support is metal.
Various other features and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view illustrating a first embodiment of a push-to-connect coupling configured in accordance with the present invention with a leading end of the tube partially inserted therein;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but showing the tube completely inserted within the coupling;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 but showing a plug inserted into the coupling;
FIG. 4 is an elevational view taken along lines 4--4 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is an elevational view taken along lines 5--5 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of a second embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of a third embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a cross-section of a first embodiment of a quick connect coupling 10 configured in accordance with the present invention. The quick connect coupling 10 is mounted in a body 11 which may be a conventional fitting, a valve, a manifold or a similar device. The body 11 has an unstepped bore 12 formed therethrough which has an annular bottom 13 which is coaxial with a circular passage 14 about an axis 15. As illustrated, the body 11 may be formed of a metallic material, such as brass or aluminum or alternatively may be formed of a plastic material such as reinforced nylon.
The coupling 10 includes a relatively rigid tubular support and O-ring gland 20 which has an inner axially extending tubular tube support portion 22 and a radially extending base portion 24. The tube support 22 has an outer diameter substantially equal to or complementary to the inner diameter of the tube 25 (FIGS. 1 and 2) or plug 26 (FIG. 3) inserted thereover so as to provide a friction fit therewith.
The radially extending base portion 24 of the tube support and O-ring gland 20 forms a base for supporting other elements of the assembly which comprises the coupling 10. The radially extending portion 24 is unitary with the tubular tube insertion portion 22 and includes a first radial flange 27 extending directly from the insertion portion 22, a first axial portion 28, and a second radial portion 30. The axial and second radial portions 28 and 30, respectively provide a step 32 from which extends a second axial portion 34. The step 32 defines an interior space 36 in which is disposed a primary O-ring seal 38 and an exterior space 40 in which is disposed a secondary O-ring seal 42. The primary O-ring seal 38 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the tubular tube insertion portion 22 of the tube support 20 and is deformed upon insertion of the tube 25 (FIGS. 1 and 2) or plug 26 (FIG. 3) to seal against the outside surface of the tube or plug. The secondary O-ring seal 42 has an inner diameter larger than the inner diameter of the primary O-ring seal 38 and an outer diameter larger than the unstepped bore 12 when the secondary O-ring seal is undeformed so as to seal between the coupling 10 and the axially extending wall of the unstepped bore 12.
Disposed in abutment with the end 48 of the second axial portion 34 is a brass sleeve 50 having an inner end 52 and an outer end 54. The brass sleeve 50 has annular barbs or teeth 55 which engage the cylindrical wall of the unstepped bore 12 to retain the coupling 10 in the body 11. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1-5, the tube support and O-ring gland 20 is plastic (see FIG. 5) while the sleeve 50 is metal, preferably brass.
Disposed within the brass sleeve 50 is a collet 60 which has a radial rim portion 62, which axially abuts the outer end 54 of the sleeve 50, and a collet insertion portion 64 which is received within the sleeve 50. The insertion portion 64 has an outer diameter less than the inner diameter of the sleeve 50 and an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the insertion portion 22 of the tube support and O-ring gland 20 to define a space 66 therebetween for receiving the tube 25 or plug 26. The collet 60 has an inner end 70 with an inner rim 72 that faces the primary O-ring seal 38. Adjacent the inner end 72 are a series of annular teeth 74 which provide a tube gripping portion.
In operation, the tube 25 is pushed over the tube insertion portion 22 of the tube support and O-ring gland 20 and into the collet 60. As is seen in FIG. 2, the tube 25 is pushed all the way home to engage the radial flange 27 on the radial base portion 24 which provides the base of the tube support. When the tube 25 is seated in the tube support, the teeth 74 of the collet 60 engage the outer surface of the tube 25 so that the tube cannot be extracted from the coupling 10 without first axially displacing the collet 60. The primary O-ring seal 38 engages the exterior surface of the tube 25 to ensure a sealing arrangement with the tube support 20 while the secondary seal 42 is deformed slightly and seals with the wall of the unstepped circular bore 12 in the body 11.
In FIG. 3, the plastic plug 26 is shown inserted into the quick connect coupling 10. The plug 26 holds the tube support and O-ring gland 20 assembled with the brass sleeve 50 and collet 60 during shipping and storage as well as optionally providing either a test or permanent closure of the passage 14 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The plug 26 has a tubular shank portion 82 dimensioned with an inner and outer diameter similar to the tube 25 and is connected and disconnected from the coupling 10 in the same way as the tube. The plug includes a circular closure plate 84 which has a rim 86 that is offset slightly from the end of the collet 60 to provide a space 88 in which a tool can be inserted to lift the plug 26 out of the coupling 10.
Referring now to FIG. 6, there is shown a second embodiment 200 of the coupling assembly. The second embodiment utilizes a tube support 202 which is made of a metal such as brass rather than plastic as is the case in the embodiments of FIGS. 1-5. The tube support 202 has a cylindrical insertion portion 204 and a radial flange portion 206 which is in the form of a planar radial plate and which comprises a base for the tube support. A molded plastic base member and O-ring gland 208 is provided as a spacer between a brass sleeve 209 and the radial flange 206. The base member and O-ring gland 208 is stepped at step 209 to provide an interior space 210 for a primary O-ring seal 211 and an exterior space 212 for the secondary O-ring seal 214. The collet 216 is substantially similar to the collet 60 of FIGS. 1-5 as is the plug 26.
By having a metal tube support such as the tube support 202, the walls of the tube support may be made thinner to accommodate a tube, such as the tube 25, having relatively thick walls. As with the embodiment of FIGS. 1-5, in the embodiment of FIG. 6 the elements of the coupling are held together for shipping and storage by the plug 26.
The third embodiment 300 of the coupling assembly uses a unitary brass tube support and O-ring gland 302 having a base portion 304 that provides a stepped portion 306 for engaging a brass sleeve 309 and an O-ring gland 310 for locating a primary O-ring 312 and a secondary O-ring 314. In the second embodiment of FIG. 7, the secondary O-ring 314 has a larger diameter than the primary O-ring 312. This is because the brass tube and O-ring gland support 302 has a relatively thin wall as compared to the molded plastic tube supports 20 and 202 of the embodiments of FIGS. 1-5 and FIG. 6.
In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the brass sleeve 309 is substantially the same as the brass sleeves 50 and 209 of FIGS. 1-5 and 6 and the collet 315 is substantially the same as the collets 60 and 216 of FIGS. 5 and 6. As with the tube support 202 of FIG. 6, the tube support and O-ring gland 302 of FIG. 7 is metal with a relatively thin wall so as to accommodate tubes, such as the tubes 25 of FIGS. 1 and 2, having relatively thick walls.
From the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of this invention, and without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, can make various changes and modifications of the invention to adapt it to various usages and conditions.

About this time every year, news outlets like ours wax nostalgic over the past year, compiling the highlights, lowlights, bloopers, and everything in between that happened in the last 365 days. Notes are compared, calendars dates are circled, lists are conjured. Understandably, other than leaving you with 100 of our greatest automotive photographs this year, we'd largely prefer to forget this year in automotive history altogether, soaked as it is with red ink and spattered with the blood of fall

A brief look back at 2012
This last year provided a lot of highlights for sports in Union County, and with the new year beginning next week, this is a good time to reflect on some of the biggest headlines.
I'll start with the retirement of Ingomar's legendary basketball coach Norris Ashley. Stepping down from the job he held for so long was big news for the county, as well as his son, Jonathan, making the move from Myrtle to Ingomar to take his place.
We crowned state champions at New Albany for tennis and East Union for cross country. New Albany's title is the second in three years, and for East Union, they are continuing a tradition of state titles in the fall sport.
Keeping with tennis, the advancement of the sport was seen in the new tennis courts opened at BNA Bank Park during the summer. On top of this, the New Albany Tennis Association was honored as the top tennis association in the state, and the town's first tournament at the new facilities was recognized as well.
Simply put, tennis dominated a lot of the headlines throughout the year.
Going into football season, it was emotional for everyone who followed New Albany. Given the team's offseason, they prevailed to not only overcome a 2-4 start, but also win the school's second division title in three years, an great accomplishment for that program.
I'm sure I've missed a couple stories, but these are the ones that stuck out the most to me this year, and I'm looking forward to even more great stories in 2013.
Happy (early) New Year to all of you!
