It's Geriatric Glitter! in St. Louis An 83-year-old Reigns as 'Disco Granny'
"I get fan mail from as far away as southern Illinois," the disco granny boasts, making it sound like Tibet. She received a five-minute ovation from 11,000 screaming youngsters at KSHE's ninth anniversary rock concert recently. "Everybody asks me if I'm going to make a long career of it," she smiles. "I tell them I don't know how long I'll have."
A former clerk and matron at the St. Louis County Jail, Hutchinson stumbled into showbiz two years ago when she stopped by the KSHE studio to pick up concert tickets for one of her grandsons. "A gentleman standing there asked me if I'd like to do some promotional tapes," she recalls. "I didn't know what tapes were, but I said I'll try anything if I think it'll be fun."
Grandma Ruth, who broadcasts for a half hour every Sunday night, is KSHE's undisputed star. The station's TV promotion spot begins with a shapely silhouette bumping and grinding behind a frosted shower door. When the door opens out steps a withered old lady in a shower cap (not Ruth Hutchinson), who pitches "totally kosmic KSHE"—a phrase that has become a Hutchinson trademark. Ruth's newfound celebrity has not measurably impressed her friends. Conversation at her frequent bridge parties continues to center around grandchildren and spot removers.
Although she spins the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Grace Slick and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Hutchinson's own tastes lean toward Glenn Miller and Cole Porter. But she admits that she is developing an appreciation for the "soft rock" she plays. Her preferences don't seem to bother the station's hard rock fans. "Oh, I know Ruth doesn't really like the music," shrugs one. "But she's great anyway."

This application claims priority of previously filed Provisional Patent Application No. 60/377,707 filed May 3, 2002.
This invention relates to a capacity control system for a variable capacity refrigerant compressor, including an electrically operated capacity control valve having one or more integral sensors for measuring at least the discharge pressure of the refrigerant.
Variable capacity refrigerant compressors have been utilized in automotive air conditioning systems, with the compressor capacity being controlled by an electrically-operated control valve. In a typical implementation, the compressor includes one or more pistons coupled to a tiltable wobble plate or swash plate, and the control valve adjusts the pressure in a crankcase of the compressor to control the compressor capacity. In one common arrangement, for example, a linear or pulse-width-modulated solenoid coil is operated to linearly position (by dithering, for example) an armature of a four-port valve that alternately couples the crankcase of the compressor to the compressor discharge (outlet) and suction (inlet) passages. When the discharge passage is coupled to the crankcase, the crankcase pressure is increased to decrease the compressor capacity; when the suction passage is coupled to the crankcase, the crankcase pressure is decreased to increase the compressor capacity. One example of such a valve is shown in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,116,269 to Maxon, issued on Sep. 12, 2000.
Since an electrically-operated control of compressor capacity is typically based on the operating status of the system, sensors are required to measure the refrigerant temperature or pressure at various locations. For example, both the high-side or discharge pressure and the low-side or suction pressure are frequently measured for control purposes and for detecting abnormal operation of the system. The usual approach is to mount a pressure sensor on a suitable refrigerant conduit, but variability in the position and orientation of the sensor results in variations of the sensed pressure due to transport delay and/or pooling of the refrigerant. Consistent results can only be ensured if the sensors are integrated into the compressor or control valve. For example, the four-port valve shown in the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 6,116,269 includes an integral pressure sensor for measuring the suction pressure of the compressor.
While the above-described approach can be used effectively to control compressor capacity, the cost of the control valve can be relatively high since an external discharge pressure sensor is still required, and a four-port control valve is relatively expensive to manufacture. Accordingly, what is needed is an electrically-operated control valve that is less expensive to manufacture, and that also includes an integral sensor for measuring the discharge pressure of the compressor.
The present invention is directed to an improved capacity control system for a variable capacity refrigerant compressor including an internal bleed passage coupling a crankcase chamber of the compressor to a suction port, an electrically-operated two-port control valve that selectively opens and closes a passage between the crankcase chamber and a discharge chamber, a suction pressure sensor within the control valve for measuring the compressor suction pressure and a discharge pressure sensor within the control valve that is continuously coupled to the discharge chamber for measuring the compressor discharge pressure. A plunger of the control valve is disposed within the passage coupling the crankcase chamber and the discharge chamber, and a solenoid armature linearly positions the plunger within the passage to open and close the passage. The plunger has an axial bore that forms a continuous passage between the discharge chamber and a cavity in which the discharge pressure sensor is retained so that the sensor is continuously exposed to the discharge pressure regardless of the plunger position. The solenoid armature includes a movable coil that interacts with a stationary pole piece including one or more permanent magnets, and balance guides formed on the plunger minimize the magnetic force required to move the plunger.
The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a variable capacity refrigerant compressor according to this invention.
FIG. 2 is an end-view diagram of an electrically-operated control valve with integral pressure sensors according to this invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the control valve of FIG. 2 taken along lines 3—3 of FIG. 2. FIG. 3 depicts the control valve in an electrically activated condition, and in an orientation that shows electrical connections for a movable coil within the valve.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the control valve of FIG. 2 taken along lines 4—4 of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 depicts the control valve in an electrically de-activated condition, and in an orientation that shows the integral pressure sensors and their electrical connections.
Referring to FIG. 1, the reference numeral 10 generally designates a variable capacity refrigerant compressor according to this invention. The compressor 10 includes a cylindrical housing 12, a suction (inlet) pipe 14, a discharge (outlet) pipe 16, and a rotary drive mechanism 18 which may take the form of a belt-driven pulley and an electrically activated clutch. Typically, the drive mechanism 18 is coupled to a rotary shaft of a vehicle engine, but other drive arrangements are also possible. The drive mechanism 18 is drivingly coupled to a pumping mechanism 20 disposed in a crankcase 22 of the compressor 10. In general, the pumping mechanism 20 receives gaseous refrigerant at low pressure from an annular suction (S) chamber 24, and supplies gaseous refrigerant at high pressure to an annular discharge (D) chamber 28. In a common configuration, the pumping mechanism 20 includes one or more reciprocating pistons 20 a, 20 b coupled to a tiltable wobble plate or swash plate 20 c, and flow control valves couple the chambers 24 and 28 to cylinders 20 d, 20 e in which the pistons 20 a, 20 b reciprocate. The piston stoke, and hence the compressor pumping capacity, is varied by adjusting the tilt angle of the plate 20 c. In the illustrated embodiment, adjustment of the tilt angle of plate 20 c is achieved by controlling the refrigerant pressure in the crankcase 22; increasing the pressure in crankcase 22 decreases the tilt angle to decrease the pumping capacity, while decreasing the pressure in crankcase 22 increases the tilt angle to increase the pumping capacity.
In a conventional arrangement, the crankcase pressure is controlled by a four-port control valve such as depicted in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 6,116,269 that alternately couples the crankcase 22 to the suction and discharge pipes 14, 16. According to the present invention, however, the crankcase pressure is controlled by the combination of a bleed passage 32 coupled between the crankcase 22 and suction pipe 14, and a two-port control valve 34 that selectively couples the crankcase 22 to the discharge pipe 16. Referring to FIG. 1, the annular passage 36 couples the crankcase 22 to a chamber 38, with the bleed passage 32 being coupled between the chamber 38 and suction chamber 24, and the control valve 34 being coupled between the chamber 38 and the discharge pipe 16. The bleed passage 32 may be implemented by simply drilling a passage between chambers 24 and 38, and the two-port control valve 34 is significantly less expensive to manufacture than the conventional four-port control valve. Overall system cost is further reduced according to this invention by integrating at least a discharge pressure sensor into the control valve 34, and preferably a suction pressure sensor as well.
FIGS. 2-4 depict the control valve 34 in further detail. In general, the control valve 34 includes an electrically activated movable coil 40, and in the illustrated embodiment, includes a pair of integral pressure sensors 42, 44 for independently measuring the suction and discharge pressures. FIG. 2 is an end-view diagram of the valve 34, depicting the placement of the sensors 42, 44 and terminal posts 46, 48 for supplying electrical activation signals to the movable coil 40. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the control valve 34 taken along lines 3—3 of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of control valve 34 taken along lines 4—4 of FIG. 2. Additionally, FIG. 3 depicts the control valve 34 in an electrically activated condition, whereas FIG. 4 depicts the control valve 34 in an electrically de-activated condition.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the control valve 34 is designed to be mounted in the rear-head of compressor 10 such that the ports 52, 54 and 56 are respectively placed in communication with chambers containing the compressor suction, crankcase and discharge pressures. The crankcase and discharge ports 54 and 56 are formed in a pressure port 60, with the discharge port 56 being defined by the inboard end of a central axial bore 62 passing through pressure port 60. A screen 61 prevents any foreign matter from entering the discharge port 56. The pressure port 60 is secured to a housing shell 64 by a weld 66, and a plunger 68 partially disposed within the bore 62 is axially positioned such that its inboard end 68 a either opens or closes a portion of bore 62 that couples the crankcase and discharge ports 54 and 56. The portion of plunger 68 that is disposed within the bore 62 is provided with a set of balance grooves 70 that tend to fill with refrigerant during operation of the compressor 10. Lubricating oil is ordinarily suspended in the refrigerant, and the oil captured in the grooves 70 tends to laterally balance plunger 68 within the bore 62, minimizing the force required to axially displace plunger 68.
The housing shell 64 encloses an electrically activated solenoid assembly 71 for positioning the plunger 68 within the bore 62, including a spring 72 for biasing the plunger 68 to a retracted position (as depicted in FIG. 4) in which refrigerant is permitted to flow from the discharge port 56 to the crankcase port 54. As explained below, activating the solenoid assembly 71 produces a force that opposes the bias of spring 72 and moves the plunger 68 to an extended position (as depicted in FIG. 3) in which its outboard end 68 a blocks the portion of bore 62 between discharge port 56 and crankcase port 54. The plunger 68 additionally has a central axial bore 68 b extending its entire length for coupling discharge port 56 to the pressure sensor 44, as explained below.
The solenoid assembly 71 includes a set of permanent magnets (depicted as a single magnet 74 for the sake of clarity) disposed between inner and outer pole pieces 78 and 80, and a cup-shaped spool 82 carrying the movable coil 40. The spool 82 is secured to an outboard portion 68 c of plunger 68, and a housing piece 84 partially encased by the housing shell 64 defines a cavity 86 outboard of the spool 82. The spring 72 is disposed around the plunger 68 between the spool 82 and the inner pole piece 78 to bias plunger 68 to the retracted position shown in FIG. 4. The flexible conductors 88, 90 couple the coil 40 to the terminal posts 46, 48, and electrically energizing coil 40 via posts 46, 48 and conductors 88, 90 produces a magnetic field that attracts the spool 82 toward the permanent magnet 74, moving the spool 82 and plunger 68 to the extended position depicted in FIG. 3. During energization of coil 40, the inboard tip of plunger 68 engages an annular stop 96 disposed in the pressure port bore 62 as seen in FIG. 3, whereas during deenergization of coil 40, the outboard tip of plunger 68 engages the inboard end 84 a of housing piece 84 as seen in FIG. 4. Due to the plunger bore 68 b, the cavity 86 contains discharge refrigerant, and one or more openings 82 a formed in the spool 82 ensure pressure equalization across the base of spool 82 during its movement.
In addition to providing a stop for the plunger 68, the housing piece 84 provides a leak-proof interface for the terminal posts 46, 48 and the pressure sensors 42, 44. Referring to FIG. 3, the terminal posts 46, 48 are disposed within a spacer element 100 secured within the housing piece 84 such that the inboard ends of the terminal posts 46, 48 protrude into cavity 86 and the outboard ends protrude through a circuit board 102, also disposed within the housing piece 84. Rubber O-rings 104, 106 are compressed between the spacer element 100 and the housing piece 84 as shown to prevent refrigerant leakage past the terminal posts 46, 48. Referring to FIG. 4, the spacer element 100 also positions and retains the pressure sensors 42, 44 with respect to suction and discharge passages 108, 110 formed within the housing piece 84. In each case, an O-ring 112, 114 is compressed between the spacer element 100 and a cavity 84 b, 84 c of the housing piece 84 as shown to prevent refrigerant leakage past the respective pressure sensor 42, 44. The suction passage 108 couples the cavity 84 b to the suction port 52 so that the pressure sensor 42 measures the compressor suction pressure. The discharge passage 110 couples the cavity 84 c to the cavity 86 so that the pressure sensor 44 measures the compressor discharge pressure. Significantly, the opening of discharge passage 110 into cavity 86 is directly aligned with the plunger bore 68 b so that the discharge passage 110 is in direct communication with the discharge port 56 regardless of the position of plunger 68.
The pressure sensors 42, 44 are preferably conventional stainless steel pressure sensors, each having a diaphragm 42 a, 44 a that is subject to flexure due to the pressure differential across it. The mechanical strain associated with the flexure is detected by a piezo-resistor circuit (not depicted) formed on the outboard surface of respective sensor diaphragm 42 a, 44 a, and flexible conductors 116, 118 couple the respective piezo-resistor circuits to bond pads 120, 122 formed on the circuit board 102. A connector 124 is secured to the outboard end of housing piece 84, and a set of terminals 126, 128, 130, 132 passing through connector 124 are soldered to the circuit board 102. As indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the terminals 126 and 128 are coupled to the terminal posts 46 and 48, and the terminal posts 130 and 132 are coupled to the bond pads 120, 122. An O-ring 134 compressed between the connector 124 and the housing piece 84 seals the enclosed area 136 from environmental pressures so that the pressures measured by the sensors 42 and 44 can be calibrated to indicate the absolute pressure of the refrigerant in the respective suction and discharge passages 108 and 110, as opposed to a gauge pressure that varies with ambient or barometric pressure. The O-ring 134 is retained in a recess of housing piece 84, and the connector 124 may be secured to the housing piece 84 by swaging as indicated.
In operation, the energization of movable coil 40 is modulated (by pulse-width-modulation, for example) to dither the plunger within the bore 62 to control the refrigerant pressure in crankcase 22. The configuration of solenoid assembly 71 with the movable coil 40 and stationary permanent magnet 74 significantly reduces the electrical power required to activate the valve 34, compared to a conventional fixed-coil design. The power requirement is additionally reduced by the balance grooves 70, which minimize the frictional forces acting on the plunger 68. In one implementation of this invention, for example, the maximum required coil current was only 300 mA, compared to a 1000 mA maximum current requirement in a conventional fixed-coil design, and the average current requirement under all operating conditions was reduced by at least 67%, compared to a conventional fixed-coil design. This reduction in the power requirement is particularly important in automotive applications because the generated electrical power is limited, particularly at low engine speeds. The system cost is also significantly reduced compared with a conventional approach since the bleed passage 32 enables the use of a two-port valve instead of the traditional four-port valve, and the suction and discharge pressures are continuously and accurately measured by the internal sensors 42 and 44.
While the present invention has been described in reference to the illustrated control valve 10, it will be recognized that various modifications in addition to those mentioned above will occur to those skilled in the art. For example, the suction pressure sensor 42 may be omitted, and either or both of the pressure sensors may be replaced with temperature sensors since the relationship between pressure and temperature of refrigerant in a closed volume system is known. Accordingly, capacity control systems incorporating such modifications may fall within the intended scope of this invention, which is defined by the appended claims.

College notebook: UW-Madison hires military history prof, finally
This is a near-daily digest of college news and notes from around the state, from the Journal Sentinel and other papers. You'll find this round-up here every day at School Zone. Tips? Send them here.
Stock market's students feel its pain: Hard times have hit 975 University Ave., Grainger Hall, home to one of the most rigorous and renowned investment education programs in the nation. For the last two years, every graduate from UW-Madison's Applied Security Analysis Program landed a job within a week of graduation. That streak will probably be broken this spring.
Theater giving assets to UWM: Milwaukee Shakespeare, which closed suddenly in October when it lost its principal funder, is giving its remaining financial assets to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee theater department. Board President Matt Flynn said a bit more than $38,000 is involved.
Suboxone suspected in student's death: Investigators suspect that a lethal combination of alcohol and a prescription drug - Suboxone - likely played a role in the death of a 19-year-old freshman found dead Monday in a dorm suite at the UWM, according to a university official and a Milwaukee County medical examiner's report.
New strategy at UW-Madison: Inside Higher Ed has a take today on UW-Madison's proposed tuition hike to provide financial aid for needy students and preserve quality of undergraduate education.
UW-Madison hires military history professor: The University of Wisconsin-Madison history department has hired a professor in American military history, finally realizing a dream of the best-selling author Stephen Ambrose, who donated money for the position more than a decade ago, the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
Mystery of Alumni Memorial Union debunked: A Marquette Tribune story unlocks some of the mystery of the fifth floor of the Alumni Memorial Union, putting to rest rumors of gold-plated toilets, the blueprints to Stonehenge and an urn containing the ashes of Pere Marquette himself.

Oh, no, not one of those dreaded venture capitalists? Let the building go to wrack and ruin, Milwaukee don't want no stinking venture capitalists . . . just ask the Mayor.
It will always be known as "The World's Tallest Qdoba"
Wait and included in this deal is a TIF district designation from our own Tommy Barrett. Why does the story talk about bailouts and associated with FDIC, could it be it's been a funnel for taxpayer money all along. A funnel down the drain, as Socialism proves it's a losing decision after all, but wait there's more, a trolley stop is planned to tie this building into the other abandoned buildings in Detroit Wisconsin.
Evidently you commenter's do not understand TIF. The TIF receives the money from real estate taxes. Therefore the owner of the property whether it be the lender, FDIC or you, the real estate taxes get paid as first priority. Mayor Tom Barrett made a wise decision to provide TIF funds for the hotels since the city will benefit three ways more than any other type property. The city will receive real estate Tax, sales Tax and Room Tax plus attract people to the downtown Milwaukee. Vote for Tom because he understands TIF and how it helps the City, County and State pay for your services.

? - 1/3/16 | Stephen King | The Dark Tower: The Dark Tower | Wonderful, beautiful book, but Jesus, some of it is pretty damn cruel.
? - 1/6/16 | Stephen King | Under The Dome | Wonderful book, but really disturbing, and I think it's actually applicable to some shit today as well as when it was originally written.
1/12/16 - 1/13/16 | Stephen King | Gerald's Game | Definitely avoid if you're triggered by the subjects it discusses, but it's a wonderful book. Jessie is one of his best female characters, I think.
? - 1/16/16 | Cheryl Rainfield | Scars | Very triggering book, as a warning, but wonderful.
? - 1/27/16 | Stephen King | It | Amazing book. The miniseries, while damn good, does not do it justice.

? - 3/1/16 | Stephen King | Lisey's Story | Great book, but Scott's backstory is fucking heartwrenching.

3/6/16 - 3/6/16 | Joe Hill | Heart-Shaped Box | It's usually hard to get into Hill's style for me, but I liked this one!
? - 3/6/16 | Terry Pratchett | The Light Fantastic | Wonderful, just wonderful. Really creative spin on tropes and such.
3/6/16 - 3/6/16 | Terry Pratchett | Snuff | Really enjoyable book! Don't know if I'm reading the Discworld series in the right order, but nevertheless, I'm starting to love it.

The most beautiful character:
The character I admire most:
The character with a skill, ability, or knowledge that I wish I had:

The character that I ship with the most other characters in the show/movie:
The character that had the most wasted potential in canon (the character that canon kind of screwed over):
The character I love even though I don't like the actor, -or- a character I don't like even though I love the actor:
If the show were to take one of the 'good guy' characters and reveal that she/he was secretly a bad guy all along, which character would I choose?:

-I will get my thoughts under control. Let's say that last year I had a bit of a mental breakdown as the year progressed. I've been using meditation and such, fortunately, so I can at least have emergency techniques for when things get bad.
-I will focus on school, but not to the point where I have a near-mental-breakdown. Seriously, that was another part of my near-breakdown last year -- stress regarding school.
-I will try to be less of a grumpy old lady in a college student's body.
-I will continue to broaden my horizons.
-I will try to achieve more independence. I'm a grown woman, after all.
-I will (oh dear God) retake Driver's Ed.
-I will, at one point, apply for a job.
-I will try to stay healthy in mind, heart, soul, relationships and body.
Those are my New Year's Resolutions at least. I don't know how good I'll be at keeping them, but they're a good starting point.

So overall? Go see it! Trust me, it's amazing.

Honeywell Plans $300M Climate-Friendly Coolant Plant
Honeywell plans to invest about $300 million to increase production capacity for HFO-1234yf, a low-global-warming refrigerant for cars, including building a commercial manufacturing plant in Louisiana for the air conditioning refrigerant.
HFO-1234yf has a global-warming potential (GWP) of less than 1. This GWP is 99.9 percent lower than that of HFC-134a, the current refrigerant in use, and even lower than that of CO2 (see chart).
Honeywell says it will construct a high-volume manufacturing plant for the climate-friendly automotive coolant at the company's existing Geismar, La., refrigerants manufacturing site, which is expected to be fully operational in 2016. The exact size of the plant will depend on supply agreements that Honeywell is putting in place with major customers.
HFO-1234yf is being adopted by automakers in part to meet a European Union directive that requires that refrigerants in all new vehicle types sold in Europe after Jan. 1, 2013, have a GWP below 150. All cars sold in Europe after 2017 must meet the new GWP requirement of less than 150.
Automakers in the US are also adopting HFO-1234yf to help comply with Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and vehicle greenhouse gas standards. The CAFE standard raises the average fuel economy of cars and light-duty trucks to 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
The new refrigerant came under scrutiny after Daimler said it burst into flames in some head-on collision tests. A subsequent study — and automakers including General Motors, Ford and Toyota — concluded that HFO-1234yf is safe for use in cars.
Despite the studies, Mercedes automaker Daimler won't use HFO-1234yf and continues to use the older refrigerant in its new Mercedes. France, citing greenhouse gas emissions concerns, has banned the latest models of Mercedes because they use HFC-134a.

The Long War
The Long War by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter follows the adventures and travails of heroes Joshua Valiente and Lobsang in an exciting continuation of the extraordinary science fiction journey begun in their New York Times bestseller The Long Earth.
A generation after the events of The Long Earth, humankind has spread across the new worlds opened up by "stepping." A new "America"—Valhalla—is emerging more than a million steps from Datum—our Earth. Thanks to a bountiful environment, the Valhallan society mirrors the core values and behaviors of colonial America. And Valhalla is growing restless under the controlling long arm of the Datum government.
Soon Joshua, now a married man, is summoned by Lobsang to deal with a building crisis that threatens to plunge the Long Earth into a war unlike any humankind has waged before.

Axel-In-Charge: Facing the 'Divided' Marvel NOW! Future
Comic Books
As with Hawkeye, we can argue about just how "movie-accurate" Hot Toys' 1/6th-scale Wonder Woman action figure is, but we can likely agree on one thing: It looks pretty awesome.
Part of the Hong Kong toymaker's rapidly growing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice line — we saw photos of a life-size replica earlier this month — the figure stands a little less than 11.5 inches tall, and features 17 points of articulation. It comes with six interchangeable palms, tailored armor, the Lasso of Truth, an engraved sword, a shield and a display stand.
No release date has been announced. Batman v Superman opens Friday nationwide.
The detail on that is amazing. I'm so glad that there are actually action figures of her out there. I remember one of my nephews looking for action figures of various female characters that he liked, only for there to be none on the shelf. That I did the same thing when I was younger and was often disappointed in the lack of toys for female characters is pretty depressing.

Apple posts new TV ads for iPod nano 5G, touch 3G
Apple has posted its new TV advertisements for the fifth-generation iPod nano and third-generation iPod touch on its website. The iPod nano 5G commercial highlights its new video camera, showing a specific-colored nano being used to record video of a dancer wearing same-colored clothes; this formula repeats throughout the commercial until the entire line is seen with their respective videos playing on each screen. The ad features the song "Bourgeois Shangri-La" by Miss Li, and is available for viewing now on Apple's iPod nano landing page. The new iPod touch commercial uses a similar formula as last year's, showing a succession of sets of hands—sometimes more than one at a time—playing various games on the device, while the song "She's Got Me Dancing" by Tommy Sparks plays in the background. It too is available for viewing on Apple's website, on the iPod touch landing page. [via MDN]

MSI X48 Platinum Motherboard
Final Thoughts
The X38 chipset has definitely turned out to be less than we had initially hoped for, and with all the hype saying it would be the next big chipset without overclocking boundaries that are put into some chipsets to limit their overclocking potential, X38 has flopped out with higher power requirements and heat generation causing some overclocking problems; this is especially the case when it came to the memory side of things. If the Northbridge gets to hot it just can't handle the bus speeds.
X48 is Intel's big push to keep X38 alive while giving it a different name so it goes up a class, this by simply hand picking a set of chipsets that are guaranteed to work better.
MSI's first X48 to cross our labs really has us wanting more X48s to tinker with. If this is the result of simply selecting the best chipsets from the wafer, then Intel's getting things well sorted right now and we may even see better X38 boards if the chipset continues now that X48 is out.
Overall, the X48 Platinum packs in as many features as most other boards have along with the additional two PCI Express x16 slots for a grand total of four. We are seeing the beginnings of boards that totally dominate for graphics cards.

Gas alarm: Transocean Leader
By Steve Marshall and news reports
22 November 2012 11:18 GMT
The semi-submersible Transocean Leader was evacuated after the alarm was triggered at around 10am but the emergency was called off after about 30 minutes, Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende reported.
The rig is undergoing maintenance and a class survey at the Bergen Group yard at Askoy.
"This is standard routine with indications of a possible gas leak," said yard chief Stig Trygve Andersen.
Firemen were carrying out an inspection onboard the rig but the nature of the suspected leak or the source of the gas had not yet been determined.
Statoil was given the green light on Thursday by Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority to use the 1987-built harsh-environment deep-water rig for production drilling and well completions on its Tyrihans field in the Norwegian Sea, with work set to start in mid-December.

Krista From Everyday Mom's Meals gives us one of the best baked homemade pasta recipes we've ever tasted. Made with Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Ricotta cheese, this cheesy delight is perfect for any day of the week. Baked to perfection, you're going to love it.
- 1 pound ziti, cooked al dente
- 1 jat of spaghetti sauce
- 16 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon oregano, plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9x13 pan and add enough sauce to cover bottom.
- Once pasta is cooked, drain well and return to pot. Add remaining sauce, ricotta and mozzarella.
- To the beaten egg, add oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well. (I find adding the spices to the egg really gets them distributed throughout the entire dish).
- Add egg to pasta mixture and stir well to combine.
- Pour into baking dish, top with Parmesan, and sprinkle w/ extra oregano. Cover with foil and bake for 45-55 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

I usually add Parmesan cheese and egg directly to the ricotta cheese when I'm making lasagna, but lasagna is a lot more work than ziti, so I just made this the way the recipe says. It's very good, not quite as good as lasagna, but given how easy it is, it will be a regular in my recipe rotation!

This is similar to my recipe except I add 1 lb hamburger and 1 package sausage links cooked and cut into bite size pieces. I also doctor up the sauce with sauteed garlic and onions. add 1/2 cup water then cook sauce with all ingredients halfday
