NFL Draft's Potential Patriots: Washington RB Bishop Sankey
|03.27.14 at 5:21 pm ET
WEEI.com will continue to offer daily insight and analysis regarding options that may be available to the Patriots when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it's time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Running back
School: Washington
Height: 5-foot-9
Weight: 209 pounds
Achievements: 2013 first-team All-Pac-12
What he brings: While not extremely big or fast, Sankey is a good all-around back who shows good vision and toughness. He can hit the interior hard and protect the ball effectively. He doesn't have big-play speed, but he has quick feet. Sankey has shown to be a more than capable and willing pass blocker and is effective catching out of the backfield.
Where the Patriots could get him: Rounds 2-3
Notes: In 2013, Sankey ran for 1,870 yards for a 5.7 average and 20 touchdowns. He also had 28 catches for 304 yards and one TD. … Despite being on the losing team, Sankey was named the MVP of the 2012 Maaco Bowl with 205 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown and 74 receiving yards. … Sankey never missed a game in his three seasons at Washington. He was voted a captain last season as a junior.

Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro: Feb availability, but no snip with $899 start price
We were starting to wonder what had happened to Microsoft's Surface with Windows 8 Pro. Originally slated - excuse the pun - for a January release, the weeks have rolled by without an official release date penned in.
The Surface Pro, as it's so often abbreviated, will be available from February 9 in the US and Canada with an opening price of $899 (USD) for the 64GB version. There is also to be a 128GB version that's been penned in at $999.
The Surface Pro comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, the full version of Windows 8 Pro - not the "app-based" Windows RT of the standard Surface - and includes a Surface Pen to scribe your best via the touchscreen.
READ: Microsoft Surface RT tablet review
Unfortunately there's no official verdict on when the Surface Pro will arrive in the UK and the rest of Europe. We know it will, but Microsoft is remaining tight-lipped on that front.
However, there is more info about Surface accessories which include new limited-edition touch covers, priced at $130 a piece, and a Wedge Touch Mouse that's designed to "complement the Surface experience in all its forms [by] providing four-way touch scrolling". Very swanky for the more PC-like user experience.
For now UK-ers it's a case of holding your breath. The confirmation of US price and availability does mean the cogs are turning, so we don't think the UK Surface Pro release will be too far behind.

| glo4twilight chapter 8 . 7/21/2012
oh no how awful. what has happened with edwards phone? dammit. now he won't be able to find her cos he thinks she has a different name and yes i wanna cry! wahhhh! dammit i have been hanging out for her to make contact with edward again so that she can tell him the truth but now...! alice is such a great friend to her and alices parents are great too. but her parents went out for dinner? didn't even bother to wait for her to get home to greet her after she's been gone for ten weeks! omg no wonder she doesn't feel at home and doesn't like her life or their lifestyle. dickheads! anyways i'm gonna be hangin for friday! it's wayyy to far away! *sigh*
| fuz chapter 8 . 7/21/2012
Poor Bella! She is used to have her parents not wanting to see her, but Edward? But thanks for Alice! Now, if she would just stop telling Bella to wear "hot pink", she would be the best friend! Thank you.
| DriedRaisin chapter 8 . 7/20/2012
please update soon!
| jansails chapter 8 . 7/20/2012
Awwwwe poor Bella...
Bella needs reassurance right now from the one person she can't reach.
Jumping to the conclusion Edward doesn't want to be in touch is not that difficult to reach, but one has to hope his phone was stolen.
| beachcomberlc chapter 8 . 7/20/2012
Poor Bella! I assume Edward has a good explanation for this... and that you do as well! So Bella's parents are part of the political machine in DC? Should have guessed that one.
I would be tracking the Cullen family down myself. But I suppose she doubts herself too much for that...It shouldn't be that difficult to find Dr. Cullen though. Google wouldn't let her down!
Can't wait for the next update. See ya then!
| jerseyhalliwell chapter 7 . 7/20/2012
great update! :)
| Maplestyle chapter 8 . 7/20/2012
I'm already crying with Bella :( I really hope we get the next update soon!
| mountainlion718 chapter 8 . 7/20/2012
oh no! did he lose it? or did he find out all about Bella before she got home and he's avoiding her...:( and if something did happen to his phone, how will they find each other again?
| irishnlove2shop chapter 7 . 7/15/2012
Dam, totally threw a wrench in there with the family having to leave 3 weeks early! They did spend a sweet time together, and he even gave her a momento of their time there...which she accepted with such grace! I'm still so worried about him being pissed about her last name! He can't get that mad when she gets home, can he? Great chapter...as always! Looking forward to the new pix! :-)
| mommymac0508 chapter 7 . 7/13/2012
Will she tell him her name before he goes so sad but they are so sweet together update soon
| Guest chapter 7 . 7/9/2012
so moving :)
| Guest chapter 7 . 7/9/2012
Poor Edward and Bright Eyes...they can't catch a break. I'm happy they are officially boyfriend and girlfriend though :)
| Guest chapter 7 . 7/9/2012
Great Chapter! Though i'm sad he is leaving! Keep up the great work! :)
| Hope4more chapter 7 . 7/10/2012
Ok...so first off, have we all not had a relative who we'd rather not claim? Well this guy is a major cock blocker for Edward. That alone should mean Eddie gets some cha-Ching from the old fart when he passes.
And this just brought to you...this chapter is having a disclaimer added. Edward will be a vamp for this chapter only. He will cool Bella down when she's all flushed and hot from work, and well watching him. Oh and because of his vampire abilities he can have sex since he will not be impregnating her. Plus he can go home, bite grandpa and save him or drain him dry. I'm fine either way. Just saying...
| ilovetwilight4eversims3 chapter 7 . 7/9/2012
OMG! edward's leaving? WHY? This story is soo sweet and the charecters are honestly really inspiring. LOVE IT! 3

Where can I find the structure of file ngc2000.dat?
I trying to see in http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/File_and_Director
but did't find it.
Where can I find the structure of file ngc2000.dat?
I trying to see in http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/File_and_Director
but did't find it.
The ngc2000.dat file is now in binary form that reduces its size from over 1.3
MB to 245KB. It wil need to be converted back to an ASCII file to be edited in
a text editor. The structure mentioned in
will then be apparent
I5370 Gx 00 00.1 +32 45 m And 0.7 15. p pB, S, R, stell N
After editing the file will then need to be saved as a binary file. The
algorithm used for the conversions I don't know.
Hi Barry,
RE: your latest post - 2011-07-08 05:23:13 EDT
Kudos to the whole Stellarium team for putting together something that works
so nicely and that has a very intuitive GUI.
I have reviewed your posts and the Stellarium <Adding_Nebulae_Images> wiki -
but I still cannot reconcile the documentation with your response. In
particular, the definition of what is in cols 30-40, and what comes after col
53 in the file format.
Would you have a more recent and up-to-date file description and by any chance
a QBASIC snipit to access ngc2000.dat in order extract/populate the required
fields. Since this is now in a binary file format I am a little lost here.
I have been successful preparing and adding images (in place of existing
Messier objects) where there are existing entries in ngc2000.dat,
ngc2000names.dat, textures.json, and nebula_textures.fab. I was also able to
easily replace the existing lunar texture with a high resolution lunar
My quest is to take advantage of recent imagery from various astronomical
sources at much higher resolution than what Stellarium initially provides and
also to populate the deep sky objects that currently do not have an image.
I use a Meade 8" Schmidt/Cassegrain and am working in the constellation Leo
for now near M65 and M66.
Re: my last post (2011-09-18 12:32:59 EDT)
I used the JSON Script Validator and found there was an error (quote marks) in
the code snipit that I was using to populate the textures.json file. This
resolved my dilema and now I am a happy camper. After a little poking around
it turns out that the ngc2000.dat file contained the initial data for the
nebula, NGC3521, that I was looking for. This resolved my problem.

Product Description
Product Description
Animated family comedy featuring the voices of Ewan McGregor, Robin Williams and Halle Berry. Rodney Copperbottom (McGregor) is a small town robot who has a gift for inventing things and a hope of moving beyond his quaint surroundings. He works side by side in a restaurant with his dad who is a dishwasher - literally a dishwasher. You open his chest and load in the dishes. Rodney has dreams of something greater. Armed with his unique talent for inventing, Rodney embarks on a journey to Robot City to meet his idol, the majestic inventor Bigweld (Mel Brooks). An iconic figure in all of Robot City, Bigweld has spent a lifetime creating things to make the lives of robots better. Once in Robot City, Rodney finds that things are not quite as he expected, and his quest may be a lot harder than he imagined. As he tries to navigate his way around this new city, Rodney befriends the Rusties, a ragtag group of street-smart bots who know the ropes. One of the Rusties, Fender (Williams), immediately becomes Rodney's best friend and even lets his spunky kid sister Piper Pinwheeler (Amanda Bynes) tag along. They take him in, and for now, at least, Rodney has a home in Robot City. Rodney also meets Cappy (Berry), an executive at Bigweld Industries who takes an instant liking to Rodney and sees a lot of herself in him. Along their adventures, Rodney and his new friends encounter unsavoury characters who try to derail Rodney's plans to find Bigweld and save Robot City.
From Amazon.co.uk
The delightful designs of William Joyce (writer/illustrator of such popular children's books as George Shrinks and Bently & Egg) make Robots a joy to behold. The round, bouncy, and ramshackle forms of hero Rodney Copperbottom and his computer-animated friends are part of an ornate and daffy Rube-Goldberg universe of elaborate contraptions and gleaming metallic surfaces. Rodney (voiced with a hint-of-Scottish lilt by Ewan McGregor) is a young inventor who sets off for Robot City to work for Big Weld (Mel Brooks), the supreme inventor of the mechanical world. But upon his arrival, Rodney discovers that Big Weld has disappeared, and the slick, shiny Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) is phasing out the spare parts that lumpen robots need to function and replacing them with "upgrades"--expensive and glistening new exoskeletons. Unfortunately, from this suitable beginning, the story degenerates into a series of action sequences that make very little sense, though some are kinetic and fun (though others are only there to serve the inevitable Robots video game). Most kids will enjoy the sheer visual pleasure of the movie, but compared to the narrative richness of Pixar movies like The Incredibles and Toy Story, that pleasure is pretty short-lived. Also featuring the voices of Robin Williams, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Amanda Bynes, Jennifer Coolidge, and many, many more. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

Ewan McGregor voices Rodney Copperbottom, who tavels to the big city to get his invention created, only to find a company that is over-run by greed and wants to stop robot upgrades - meaning that all robots will have to buy their products or become ruined, rusty and abandoned. So Rodney, with his new found city friends, tries to stop them.
First off, the graphics are great. The city is huge and bustling, and vibrant - it could be a real fantasy place! It is here that the humour really takes place, just little things that you might miss out of the corner of the screen are usually the funniest, but there are some true stand out moments.
When Rodney becomes magnetic is hilarious, and easily my favourite part in the film. Other great moments come courtesy of a climactic chase sequence, and a quiet moment ruined by...a fart!
I saw this film with two young children, and they both loved it. They laughed all the way through - the humour is more orientated towards the younger generation,but there are a handful of adult orientated jokes courtesy of Robin William's character.
All the characters are loveable, and it was a easy time to pass 90minutes. If you have a family, I would definately reccommend it.
Fasten your seat bolts and gear up for a hilarious, heart-warming comedy that's "fun for the whole family!" says Clay Smith of Access Hollywood. With the help of his misfit mechanical friends, a small town robot named Rodney embarks on the adventure of a lifetime as he heads for the big city to pursue his dreams and ultimately proves that anyone can shine no matter what they're made of.
Featuring an all-star voice cast and a ground breaking visual style that pushes the boundaries of animated filmmaking, Robots is a dazzling, fun-filled feast for the eyes and a riveting good time for all ages.
FILM FACT: The film was nominated for many awards in the category of best animated film, as well as awards for character design, best animated character, voice casting, and sound editing. However, it only won one, the MTV [Mexico] Movie Award for best song, "Un Héroe Real" [A Real Hero].
Voice Cast: Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Greg Kinnear, Mel Brooks, Robin Williams, Amanda Bynes, Drew Carey, Jennifer Coolidge, Harland Williams, Jim Broadbent, Dianne Wiest, Stanley Tucci, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Giamatti and Dan Hedaya. Cameos: Brian Scott McFadden, Jay Leno, Lucille Bliss, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Ryan Seacrest, Al Roker, Stephen Tobolowsky, Randall Montgomery, Tim Nordquist, Lowell Ganz, James Earl Jones (archive recording) and James Brown (singing voice, archive recording)
Directors: Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha [co-director]
Producers: Jerry Davis, John C.Read more ›
Oh yes in Robots we have the feelgood DVD of late 2005....

A father (or mother: see maternal-paparazzi) that always takes photos or movies of his kids no matter what they are doing.
That father is always taking pictures of his kids at the park like he is a member of the paternal-paparazzi.

Let me point out that this is a GREAT deal!, seriously the computer worked fine, the bundle came well packed and everything was top of the line in terms of quality, there is just one rather major drawback...the noise.
I honestly had no idea how LOUD this thing would be, I was expecting some noise since I already own a desktop PC but this was ridiculous, I truly thought there was something wrong with the computer so we contacted Vibox and they listened to the sound and assured us it was working fine and that the amount of noise was normal, and there in lies the issue.
I tend to game at night and this computer would have been far too loud for everyone in the house and next door, heck I had the computer on for about 25 minutes max and it was already giving me an actual headache.
I made the decision to send the computer back as I just couldn't cope with the noise (which was the fan), but I will state that Vibox gave me no trouble with allowing a refund and they had very good customer service.
In my honest opinion, it's worth the money IF and only if you can deal with the noise output or have some way to cancel out some of the noise. There are ways to achieve this but they cost more money, something I just couldn't afford to do.
But no. When I did get the monitor set up and working and installed some games to test it out I was barraged with flickering white lines across the screen. They got worse and appeared across the whole monitor where at first it was just the top left. So I contacted Vibox and they picked it up and took it in for repairs. After about 2 and a half weeks I contacted them and they said they could not reproduce the error I was having even though they carried out multiple stress tests etc. Then after about another 3 days they "finally were able to reproduce the error" I was having and said my graphics card was faulty in that it was artifacting. So after seeing that they replaced the graphics card.
Great all sorted...you would think! After receiving the computer back today, I set it all up and as soon as I launched the first game...BAM! Flickering lines all across the screen. So I rang Vibox and they suggested I get in touch with AOC (who produce the monitor) and get them to swap and replace the screen. I then had to send AOC images of the problem as proof.
All in all, the computer has been a pain in the backside since day one and maybe I just got a faulty screen but all the hassle this has been I would not recommend this package to anyone.
The replacement had exactly the same problem and once again it was go in to the machine and take things out and put them back in. I did manage to make it work but I then I had trouble with the USB's and with no operating system it is not like I could check if it was a driver problem or something else. In the end I sent the machine back as I did not trust it and I was quickly refunded.
Now I will accept that it is possible computers are made exceptionally delicate these days. The last PC i bought I managed to move between several houses and it always worked. I never had to open it up after it had been moved around. I do live in a hilly area and the delivery driver cannot drive right up to my door to deliver. The box the PC was in also had a monitor in, which made it even harder to get to my front door. So it is possible it was moved a bit before it got to me and it was not easy to get out of the box. So if computers are incredibly delicate and suffer from any form of even slight movement then woe betide anyone who lives in a place like I do if they need a new modern computer.Read more ›

Ducks' prospect wins collegiate honor
A freshman, Gardiner helped the Badgers to a 3-1 triumph over Michigan State and a 3-0 victory over Michigan in last weekend's College Hockey Showcase in Madison, Wis. Gardiner picked up an assist in each game and was a combined plus-4 as Wisconsin limited the Spartans and Wolverines to a total of only 31 shots on goal.
Gardiner shared the weekly honor with Joe Colborne of the University of Denver.

Allegations of inappropriate behaviour with women by a senior strictly Orthodox rabbi have this week led to a schism within the Charedi community.
The community has been convulsed for months following complaints made by women about marriage counselling sessions run by Rabbi Chaim Halpern of the Divrei Chaim Synagogue in Golders Green.
The indictment against Israel's former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman was revised this week to include stronger wording that may affect his political future.
The community has been warned to be on guard against gangs that target Jewish pensioners and families in a major credit-card scam.
Volunteers from the Shomrim community security group thwarted an attempted fraud in Golders Green last week. They were called as scammers worked to trick a couple into handing over credit cards and PIN details.

Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron, a former chief rabbi of Israel, has been charged with taking part in a multi-million-shekel fraud.
According to the Times of Israel, the suspected scam involved the issuing of false rabbinic credentials to over 1,000 civil servants, allowing them to collect bonuses of NIS 2,000-4,000 a month.
A South African convicted of defrauding HM Revenue and Customs has been ordered to pay £249,999 or face 16 months in prison.
Lawrence Goldberg, 48, pleaded guilty last year to a tax scam worth £1.1 million and spent a year behind bars. The Crown Prosecution Service then proceeded to try to recover assets Goldberg claimed he did not have.
Noah Pozner, the youngest child killed at the Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut last week, was the first to be buried at a ceremony on Monday.
At the funeral, conducted by Rabbi Shaul Praver of Temple Adath Israel — of which the Pozner family are members — Noah's mother, Veronique, said her six-year-old son was "light and love, mischief and pranks".
Judges have confirmed that Dominique Strauss-Kahn will face a pimping inquiry, despite an appeal from the former presidential candidate's legal team on Wednesday morning.

Benedictine monk and martyr. Also called Thomas Hales, he served as a Benedictine monk at St. Martin's Priory in Dover, England. In 1295, the priory was overrun by a French raiding party which was assailing Dover, and Thomas, being old and infirm, could not escape with the rest of the community. The French raiders demanded that he tell them the whereabouts of the church treasures. When he refused, they murdered him. Miracles were soon reported at his tomb, and an altar was dedicated to him in the priory church in 1500. King Richard II of England (r. 1379-1399) requested that his cause be opened in 1382.

Pentagon to Study Whether Generals and Admirals Need More Ethics Training
In the wake of several high-profile scandals involving misconduct by top brass—including the extramarital affair of Gen. David Petraeus, accusations of financial mismanagement against Gen. William E. Ward of Africa Command, and the case of Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, formerly the deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan, who is facing charges of forcible sodomy and multiple counts of adultery—the Defense Department is mulling whether its flag officers need ethics training.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has tasked Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to lead the ongoing review. A week ago, Dempsey submitted a preliminary report to Panetta concluding that generals and admirals receive adequate ethics training, but that the Defense Department should begin that training earlier in their careers.
Misconduct by the military brass is nothing new, and the Pentagon's inspector general reviewed 38 cases of alleged wrongdoing by senior officials in 2011, substantiating the allegations in almost 40% of them, up from 21% in 2007. The total caseload for 2012 is on track to exceed last year's, and the increase in cases has caused the IG office to create nine new positions over the past two years to bring its team of investigators to 26.
In his preliminary report, Dempsey also suggested that the Joint Chiefs review the staffing, travel privileges and other perquisites provided to senior officers, who often travel in corporate-style jets and have their own cooks, drivers and dozens of aides who perform personal errands. Such cushy treatment can be addictive, leading to a sense of personal superiority and entitlement. General Ward, for example, is accused of using government money to pay for a deluxe lifestyle, including personal travel expenses; assigning staff to run errands for him and his wife; and accepting meals and Broadway tickets from a defense contractor in violation of Pentagon rules.

It was a mixture of weird, wonderful and traditional attractions among the region's Waitangi Day celebrations.
Along Wellington's waterfront yesterday, families flocked to check out stalls, and to watch demonstrations and rousing kapa haka performances.
The brave and creative could even try their hand at traditional weaving and waka ama.
Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown was happy with the "really positive" atmosphere in the capital city yesterday.
"It's a great day and I think everybody from whatever ethnicity have been very welcome," she said.
Hutt city celebrated the day at Orongomai Marae, with a special theme promoting whanau anti-violence, while Whakarongotai Marae in Waikanae hosted an event teaching ancestors' history on the Kapiti Coast.
There were no spare car parks in sight as thousands of people flooded into Porirua for the Festival of the Elements - an event created to celebrate Waitangi Day with diversity and unity of cultures.
And the sun came out as families wandered a carnival-like setting, with performances from both Maori and other cultural groups.
On a day that has historically seen its share of tension, Te Papa included a unique way for Wellingtonians to let out any of their grievances.
Te Papa events producer Suzanne Tamaki booked a group of costumed Auckland performers running a "Wailing Chamber" for anyone who was willing to shed their worries in an eerie public ceremony.
The public was invited to write grievances on a piece of paper, put them inside a coffin, carry it into a tent and wish them away with chanting, instruments, and wailing.
"I thought it would be perfect for Waitangi Day and a chance for people to release their grief and sorrow in a healthy way," Miss Tamaki said.
But student Bailey Fraser, 19, was so uncomfortable with the screaming and yelling, that she ran from the tent before the ceremony was over.
"I was actually feeling really overwhelmed.
"It's really creepy."

Acuity Brands, Inc. Analyst Notes
On April 2, 2014, Acuity Brands, Inc. (Acuity Brands) reported its Q2 FY 2014 financial results (period ended February 28, 2014). The Company registered a 12.2% increase in net sales to $546.2 million in Q2 FY 2014, while net income for the quarter came in at $32.7 million or $0.75 per diluted share, versus $24.7 million or $0.57 per diluted share in Q2 FY 2013. The Company attributed the increase in net sales to a 13% increase in sales volume, which was partially offset by a net unfavorable currency exchange rate, primarily a weaker Canadian Dollar. Commenting on the business outlook, Vernon J. Nagel, Chairman, President, and CEO, said, "Our outlook remains positive. Third-party forecasts and leading indicators suggest that the growth rate for the North American lighting market, which includes renovation and retrofit activity, will be in the mid-to-upper single digit range during 2014." In a separate press release, on March 28, 2014, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share. The dividend is payable on May 1, 2014 to shareholders of record on April 17, 2014.

Much of IT terminology is often misused and misapplied. Modernization and transformation are two such terms. They are often used interchangeably even though they mean different things and have very different connotations. Indeed, it is somewhat safe to assume that in IT any transformative effort is likely to also have a modernizing effect, and thus, we can see these as levels of improvement efforts. However, many businesses are being led to believe if they don't transform now they risk becoming ...

I asked my grandson what he thought of the book when he was finished... his response was that he liked the pictures, but he didn't think Ralph had very nice friends, since they only cared about what he could do for them and didn't like him just for who he was. WOW! He was only 5 when he made that insightful observation, is now 6 and able to read on his own, and this is the only book in the collection that's he's never taken down to re-read. For me, that's a pretty clear statement.
The book's version of the story is still cute, but without those aspects of the movie, it's a little bit harder to like the characters.

Preventing electrical shock with proper grounding techniques
Maintaining a good quality ground starts with wiring the circuit correctly. The NEC requires that the removal of any device cannot interrupt the ground path. Receptacle manufacturers have responded by supplying receptacles with only a single grounding connection. This would prohibit electricians from wiring the device in series with the grounding circuit.
A common method of ensuring that the ground remains intact is through the use of a pigtail connection. To make a pigtail connection, take both ground wires and join them with a 6-inch wire of the same color that has been stripped on either end. Hold all three tightly and bind them together with a wire connector. Be sure to use the right size connector for the size and number of wires.
Special connectors are available to make this job easier. With one, a bare copper wire is inserted through a hole at the top of the connector. All the wires are then bound together, by twisting the connector until tight.
Pre-made pigtails are becoming more popular because of the time saving involved. For example, some connectors now combine a twist-on wire connector with a pre-crimped pigtail. The ultra-flexible, six-inch lead provides hassle-free positioning in a junction box, and the grounding pigtails come with a pre-crimped fork connection for quick and easy installation of the device.
In many wiring applications, more than one equipment-grounding conductor enters a junction box. According to section 250-1487 of the NEC, where more than one equipment-grounding conductor enters a box, all such conductors shall be spliced or joined within the box or to the box.
The only exception is for isolated receptacles, covered in section 250-146 (d) where isolated receptacles are required for the reduction of electrical noise (electromagnetic interference).
For metal junction boxes, the grounding conductors from each device also needs to be connected to the box with a listed grounding device, or a grounding screw, that is not used for any other purpose.
A device may have to be bonded to the junction box with a jumper. According to section 250-1469 of the NEC, an equipment bonding jumper shall be used to connect the grounding terminal of a grounding-type receptacle to a grounded box unless grounded as in (a) through (d).
(a) A surface mounted box, where the device yoke and the box have direct metal-to-metal contact. This connection can be used to ground the device. This provision does not apply to cover-mounted receptacles unless the box and cover combination have been listed as providing an acceptable ground continuity between the box and receptacle.
(b) Contact devices or yokes designed and listed for providing the grounding connection between the device and the junction box. These shall be permitted in conjunction with the supporting screws to establish the grounding circuit between the device yoke and flush-type boxes.
(c) Floor boxes designed for and listed as providing satisfactory ground continuity between the box and the device.
(d) Isolated receptacles that is required for the reduction of electrical noise (electromagnetic interference) on the grounding circuit. In these applications, the grounding terminal is purposely insulated form the receptacle mounting to reduce the electrical noise coming from other loads on the branch circuit.
The receptacle grounding terminal is connected to an insulated equipment grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors. This grounding conductor is permitted to pass through one or more sub-panels without connection to the panel board grounding terminal as permitted in Section 384-2010.
Note that the use of an isolated equipment grounding conductor does not relieve the requirement for grounding the raceway system and junction box.
A good electrical ground is more than following NEC requirements; it must also be a low impedance system. The ground path is the fault path for stray current. If electricity follows the path of least resistance, than the ground circuit must have a lower resistance than an individual to protect them. The rule of thumb for protecting people is to maintain a ground impedance of less than one Ohm.
The neutral conductor can only be bonded to the ground conductor at the main neutral buss, where a large copper conductor carries all the return and faulted current back to the earth. Sometimes through error or ignorance, the neutral and ground are connected upstream from the service entrance. This is called a false, or bootleg ground. If the neutral and ground are connected anywhere else in the building, all grounded metal becomes part of the neutral conductor, constantly energized and creating various voltage potentials on electronic equipment. When using common receptacle testers, this condition shows up as normally wired.
The pathway to ground extends beyond the main panel to the earth ground system. The earth ground could be a single ground rod, multiple ground rods, a mat or a grid system. Section 250-56 addresses the system by stating that if the ground electrode is not less than 25 ohms a second electrode should be added at least 6 feet from the first. The grounding system can be tested with a three-pole earth resistance tester, or a ground resistance clamp meter.
While testing the resistance of the ground electrode after installation will satisfy NEC requirements, it is not enough to ensure protection of personnel or electronic equipment.
The resistance of the ground electrode is heavily dependant on the soil resistivity. Because soil resistivity relates to the moisture and temperature, the resistance of the grounding system will vary throughout the different seasons of the year. To ensure a low impedance grounding system, include the ground electrode, or earth ground as part of your standard testing procedures in your facility. A ground resistance clamp meter enables electricians to measure the resistance of the ground electrode in a fraction of the time required using the traditional three-point fall of potential test.
Electrical code requires the installation of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in residential dwellings to protect against shock. Receptacles in bathrooms, garages, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, kitchens and near wet bar sinks require protection.
A GFCI is a receptacle with a built in circuit to detect leakage current to ground on the load side of the device. When the GFCI detects leakage current to ground, it will interrupt power to the load side of the device, preventing a hazardous ground fault condition.
These devices should be tested regularly, because they rely on mechanical connections that will degrade over time. According to a recent study performed by the Leviton Institute on average 15% of GFCIs were inoperative when tested. Voltage surges from lightning, utility switching and other sources all take their toll on the devices, which is why Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requires that GFCIs be tested monthly.
When sensitive electronic equipment fails, the initial reaction is to throw our hands up and blame it on poor power quality. This makes the problem seem unmanageable and out of our control. Most of these problems are actually under our control, because 80% of all power quality problems are found in the electrical distribution and grounding system.
In addition to preventing the possibility of fire, a good low impedance electrical system will protect electronic equipment. A high resistance connection, like a loose wire, will cause the voltage to fluctuate, or drop, when a large load is applied. If the voltage drops low enough, it can cause electronic equipment to lock up, reset or shut down completely.
Grounding is another concern for electronic equipment. While ground impedance of one Ohm or less may protect people from electric shock, it may not be adequate protection for electronic equipment. IEEE recommends a ground impedance to be less than 0.25 Ohms for proper protection.
In some cases, it is easier to isolate sensitive electronic equipment than to re-wire an entire circuit. This can be done by running an isolated ground for the equipment in question, or by running a new dedicated circuit.
An isolated ground protects the equipment from other equipment on the same grounding circuit. Electronic equipment can create noise, which can interfere with the operation of other equipment on the circuit. It is important to note than an isolated ground will not protect equipment from harmonic distortion running through a shared neutral.
In some cases, running a dedicated circuit is necessary to completely isolate a piece of equipment in order to ensure protection.
Another article in the code covers the use of transient voltage surge suppressors. These devices protect power, telephone and cable lines from transient voltage. Transients are short high amplitude pulses caused by a release of energy onto the electrical system. These pulses of energy can be caused by internal sources, such as a capacitor releasing energy into the system, or external sources like lighting.
The hidden dangers associated with branch circuit wiring are very serious, but fortunately the precautions are straightforward. We can protect ourselves and equipment by using certified devices and testing equipment from reputable manufacturers and implement policies on branch circuit testing. These policies should include verifying proper wiring, testing devices, checking the integrity of the branch circuit, and measuring the integrity of the grounding system.
Check all devices immediately after installation to verify proper wiring and test devices. Receptacles should be checked to avoid common wiring errors, such as reversed polarity or an open neutral. Checking the voltage level with a voltage tester quickly verifies that the receptacle has been correctly wired for either 120 or 220VAC.
Checking continuity across a switch verifies that it working correctly. A variety of testers are available on the market to test these devices quickly and accurately.
Test electrical circuits under load to test the integrity of the branch circuit. The voltage drop test can identify high resistance connections, which can lead to fires, breakdown in insulation, and poor efficiency of the electrical system, which can contribute to erratic equipment operation.
Test the integrity of the grounding system, which includes not only the grounding conductors, but also the ground rod or grid system. A low impedance on both of these systems is essential to protect against electrical shock.
In summary branch circuit testing is an important part of wiring any circuit. It verifies that devices have been wired up correctly and allows you to protect yourself against the hidden defects in an electrical system.
