With Russia crumbling, Germany moved to increase its pressure on the West. On February 1, it announced unrestricted submarine warfare in an attempt to starve Britain into surrender. This aggravated relations with the United States and, when German plans to incite a war between Mexico and the U.S. were uncovered, America declared war.

The history of acupuncture goes back at least 2500 years to ancient Chinese medical practices. The process has evolved over time and recently begun to gain a lot of attention in the western world. Millions of Americans receive Acupuncture treatment every year, often for chronic pain. The treatment involves the insertion of very thin medical-grade needles into specific locations on the body. It is considered to be safe when performed by a trained specialist. Many insurance companies cover it as a part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Early medical experts in China believed that each person has a life force flowing through them known as chi or qi. This energy travels through the body along specific pathways unless disrupted by some force. This disruption causes or results in discomfort or illness.
Acupuncturists review the symptoms a patient has along with their medical history in order to determine where the flow of qi is disrupted. Then, they place the needles into locations known to be associated with the difficulties the patient is experiencing. These may be left in place for a span of ten minutes to an hour while the patient relaxes in a comfortable room. The treatment may also include the manipulation of the needles in order to enhance the session. In addition to heat, the acupuncturist may also send electrical impulses through the needs. Movements such as twirling may also be employed.
In order to fully restore the proper energy flow, more than one visit is often required. Most practitioners will do a few sessions close together and then start spacing them out until the patient energy flow has corrected itself. If you are experiencing a medical condition that is not responding well to western treatments, contact Classical Herbs and Acupuncture, Inc. in Pinecrest, FL – Acupuncture Miami at (305) 665-9711 to learn about how we can help.

Skip to comments.The Late, Great American WASP ('bout time somebody said it)
Posted on 12/23/2013 6:29:03 AM PST by GodAndCountryFirst
The U.S. once had an unofficial but nonetheless genuine ruling class, drawn from what came to be known as the WASP establishment. Members of this establishment dominated politics, economics and education, but they do so no longer. The WASPocracy, as I think of it, lost its confidence and, with it, the power and interest to lead. We are now without a ruling class, unless one includes the entity that has come to be known as the meritocracypresumably an aristocracy of sheer intelligence, men and women trained in the nation's most prestigious schools.
The acronym WASP derives, of course, from White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, but as acronyms go, this one is more deficient than most. Lots of people, including powerful figures and some presidents, have been white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant but were far from being WASPs. Neither Jimmy Carter nor Bill Clinton qualified.
WASP life, though, was chiefly found on the eastern seaboard. WASPs had their own social clubs and did business with a small number of select investment and legal firms, such as Brown Brothers Harriman and Sullivan & Cromwell. Many lived on inherited money, soundly invested.
The late 1960s put the first serious dent into the WASPs as untitled aristocrats and national leaders. For protesters of that generation, the word WASP didn't come into play so much as the word Establishment, heretofore chiefly an ecclesiastical term. The Establishment was the protesters' enemy and target. The Establishment was thought to have sent the country into Vietnam; it was perfectly content with the status quo, with all its restrictions on freedom and tolerance for unjust social arrangements; it stood for all that was uptight and generally repressive in American culture.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Romney-Ryan was the first GOP ticket not to have a protestant.
But we have Kim and Kanye...
You must be a big fan of the Kennedys.
"but most societies need a ruling class of some kind — great families who represent its true ideals."
Hate to tell you this, but that family would be THE BUSHES.
There were WASPs and there were WASPs.
Some of the characters listed: FDR, the Bush Klan, Rockefellers, etc. as well as others like Tom Kean Senior of NJ, Chrissie Whitman of New Jersey. exemplify everything that is WRONG with America today. And most of it comes from denying and rejecting their own heritage.
The WASP elite became big libs in the 60s - they caused their own death in many ways.
Thanks God, otherwise we might start looking like Detroit....oh wait
There is a great deal of mythology about WASPs. It is erroneous to equate this caste with hereditary European nobility. The US is a big melting pot. Power is fluid. One day you're up. The next day you're down. This is all a big myth.
This is a fairly good appraisal, but Epstein writes like an outsider looking in and doesn't get it quite right.
You are absolutely correct when WASP began to stand for White Anglo Saxon Pagan and not Protestant, the decadence and decline became inevitable.
"the chief WASP qualities were "success depending on industry; use giving industry its task; civic-mindedness placing obligations on success, and antisensuality setting limits to the enjoyment of it; conscience watching over everything."
"Under WASP hegemony, corruption, scandal and incompetence in high places weren't, as now, regular features of public life. Under WASP rule, stability, solidity, gravity and a certain weight and aura of seriousness suffused public life. As a ruling class, today's new meritocracy has failed to provide the positive qualities that older generations of WASPs provided."
The author implies, but never specifically states, that what he really means by WASP is not "white Anglo-Saxon Protestant," but rather "northeast upper class."
The Rockefellers, Carnegies, Mellons, Roosevelts, Vanderbilts and a host of others were not Anglo-Saxon, yet were indisputably WASP.
Apparently it escaped Epstein that Texans are among the most WASPish of the WASPs.
"George W. Bush, even though he can claim impeccable WASP lineage and went to the right schools, seems otherwise to have shed all WASPish coloration and become an authentic Texan."
In other words: he went from being a WASP to being a WASP. (Epstein just can't quite comprehend it.)
Both and Jimmuh are indisputably white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant.
They just weren't WASPs.
This is true only in Epstein's limited paradigm. The vast majority of America's most successful (financially and otherwise) achievers are not graduates of the schools that impress Epstein as the most prestigious. They tend to be well motivated and talented graduates of state universities and community colleges. For example: Forbes' lists of the richest Americans reveals this year after year.
You are referring to people like George H. W. Bush?
No thank you.
Nahh. He gets it just fine. He just doesn't express it well.
Most white southerners are Anglo-Saxon and Protestant, despite the somewhat mythical prominence assigned Scotch-Irish ancestry in recent decades.
But southerners have never been WASPs in the sense of northeast ruling elite. He's actually referring to a cultural group, assigned ethnicity for purposes of labeling, but with ethnicity not terribly relevant in any other sense.
"Of the two strongest American presidents since 1950 Harry S. Truman and Ronald Reagan the first didn't go to college at all, and the second went to Eureka College"
And it illustrates my point.
Truman and Reagan are the only great Presidents of the 20th century.
The only other great U.S. Presidents were Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and Lincoln.
By Epstein's criteria, none of these great Presidents was a WASP.
As the Information Age has brought more and more truth to light, the average Americans opinion of them has gone from disdain to contempt--and for excellent reasons.
"What our new meritocrats have failed to evinceand what the older WASP generation prided itself onis character and the ability to put the well-being of the nation before their own. Character embodied in honorable action is at the heart of the novels and stories of Louis Auchincloss, America's last unembarrassedly WASP writer. Doing the right thing, especially in the face of temptations to do otherwise, was the WASP test par excellence. Most of our meritocrats, by contrast, seem to be in business for themselves."
We have the ghetto-ocracy right now. We rule according to what is inoffensive to "oppressed" minorities and, as an ethic, believe that if you can get your hands on it (even by lying or stealing), you deserved it.
Our pop culture tells us to flash our bling, live large, have "ho"s and save nothing because tomorrow you might die.
Washington. Jefferson. Madison. Monroe. Et al.
There was a lot more of a desire to please God with how one lived their life.
Now we desire to please ourselves in a secular Sodom.
The WASP ascendancy lasted for about a century, beginning with the defeat of the Southern Confederacy by the North and ending with the cultural wars of the 1960s. A new, and substantially Jewish, elite has replaced the WASP ascendancy, which fell first into liberalism starting in the late 19th Century and then into decadence. The new elite is showing similar evidence of decline, due to the effects of political correctness, moral degeneracy, expanded bureaucracy, and economic decline. The next chapter of American history will be interesting, as a new order will replace the current ascendancy.
The Jews are running this country. See Hollywood for reference.
If you are on welfare, you and your spawn should be sterilized. This includes your parents, your siblings, and your children. If they don't want to be sterilized, then wonderful, they can support you.
Dude. They were part of the Virginia Dynasty. Nothing northeastern about them. The government was dominated prior to the Civil War by Virginians and other southerners, in much the same way it was dominated from 1860 to WWII by WASPs.
In fact, the Civil War was to some extent a struggle between these two elite groups. The South seceded very largely because it saw that it was losing its grip on power and saw no way it could continue safely in a Union in which it was no longer dominant.
(BTW, I have no intent here to ignite another Civil War debate. I think the above statement is indisputably true. Legitimate disagreement is possible on whether the southern elite was right in this belief, but not, IMO, that they believed it.)
After the War, southerners were almost completely excluded from political/cultural influence, with notable exception of powerful southern senators acquiring clout via seniority.
That's not a conservative opinion. Sanger wanted to rid the country of "undesirables" too. So did Hitler.
At a minimum anyone on welfare should be drug tested.
Absolutely agree.
I knew several true Boston and New York WASPS. They have all passed away. They didn't have great Wall Street wealth. They were the sons and daughters of Presbyterian or Anglican ministers, university professors, or even farmers.
All I can say is that there was a simple and clear code of behavior, thrift and a universal respect for all, as we are all a unique child of God and free-born American citizens.
California is sure not WASP anymore.
"During the 1920s and 1930s Los Angeles was a bastion of Anglo Protestantism, reflecting the values of Midwestern parishioners who had been carried to the Southland on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Well into the 1970s, Protestant denominational leaders enjoyed comfortable, influential ties with the city is still-strong "downtown business
establishment," which itself was largely Protestant.
The Immigration Act of 1965, however, created the condition for a radically different religious future for the City of Angels-a future that would anoint Roman Catholicism as the area's dominant religious group. Today Roman Catholicism is the single largest faith tradition in Los Angeles County, with 294 parishes and 3,631,368 adherents.
Among Christians, 71% are Catholics. Between 1980 and 1997, Roman Catholicism experienced a 36% growth."
Some of that is due as well to the main stream protestant churches becoming so liberal. I know many WASPs who are now catholic. Fundamentalist churches have also grown for the same reason.
Some of what? California becoming Catholic?
Sorry, I just started on my first cup of coffee and realized that you were indeed saying that conversion to Catholicism was a factor.
I doubt that, since whites have been fleeing Catholicism for many years/decades, the real factor is the importation of Catholics by the 10s of millions, a long term goal of the democrat party and the American left, and their arrival in large numbers, in California.
Mellon and Carnegie were Scottish descent -- WASP-ish in the Presbyterian or Anglican sense, but not quite in the true British sense.
The Roosevelt's and Vanderbilt's were descendants of the Dutch/New Amsterdam mercantile families which preceded what became British/New York mercantilism in 1664. As merchant families associated with the VOC they were already quite well entrenched, Dutch protestants, possibly, but not WASPs per se.
Recall the Pilgrims first stayed in Amsterdam and then Leiden, Holland prior to their journey that landed them in what became Plymouth Colony. There, they also mingled with French Protestant Huguenots some of whom came over with the Pilgrims.
Roosevelt's and Bush's can also trace themselves to the Pilgrim's passage as Dutch and English, respectively. So in this way Bush is still the British WASP, though not necessarily Roosevelt.
Rockefellers on the other hand were actually drawn more from German stock, rather than Dutch, but on that basis one could reasonably say they were at least 1/2 of the Anglo-"Saxon" moniker.
Both of these sections were populated by White Anglo-Saxon Protestants--WASPs--of the same European extraction.
In the 19th century, power and population shifted to the Northeast. Early in the 19th century, New York passed Virginia in population. It remained the most populous state until California passed it in the 20th century.
As you say, the Civil War decided that the Northeastern establishment would become dominant over the Southern establishment, but both were WASP.
Meritocracy... men and women trained in the most prestigious schools...
Not any more - "diversity" has let in many affirmative action students and the meritocracy is now a sham - Obama and Michelle included.
thanks for the very informative post.
How about WASPS. White Anglo-Sexton Protestant Straight.
Theologically, maybe. But socially and culturally you'd have a hard time convincing non-Protestants that Mitt was anything but a WASP.
You might check out E.Digby Baltzell's The Protestant Establishment: Aristocracy and Caste in America. That was certainly his view, and some people say he invented the term "WASP."
Baltzell was WASPy and upper class himself (more or less) and a big JFK man. That's the thing about elites: they lean to the liberals. With them (other people's) money tends to be no object.
I think the Mormonism took care of that, Romney was largely seen as what he was, a white Obama, exotic, out of touch, and almost a foreigner, socially and culturally.
To me he looked like many other East Coast moderate Republicans.
The "out of touch" factor was something many people saw in Bush Sr. as well.
I don't know why you lash out by calling it "your (quite biased) point of view", it is the damning image that has colored his 20 years in elective politics, a career that while he spent over 50 million dollars of his own money, and hundreds of millions of other people's money, resulted in a single election win of less than 50%, and a failed, single term in office with no chance of reelection and ending in losing a presidential election against Jimmy Carter's second term.
Romney was seen as much more exotic and culturally foreign, than war hero and Texas Congressman, President H W Bush.
If you don't see that "exotic and culturally foreign" is a relative term in a country like ours, that's your problem. What strikes you as "foreign" won't strike other people in the same way. Romney was not so different from other WASPy East Coast Republican elected officials.
Romney had upper class "out of touch" troubles, but there are plenty of people like that in the country and that doesn't make them "foreigners." I don't see what trashing his political record has to do with it. Since he did beat out quite a few other contenders last time, though, does that make them out-of-touch "foreigners" as well?
I don't post against Mormons or Catholics, you sure are going out of your way to make this personal.
Evidently you take your Romney very seriously and want to personally attack an individual who points out something negative about him.
If you can just focus on Romney, then you might see that during his 6 years of running for president, the image that haunted him, was how exotic and Romulan he struck people.
Perhaps we could expect that from a man who is so separated in his social and religious life, after all, Bishop Mitt Romney believes that he will become a God at some point, and he focuses his life on remaining culturally isolated within his religious community.

Telluride: 'Another Year,' 'Incendies' and…Brad Pitt?
The 2010 Telluride Film Festival was an unqualified success. Well, at least that seemed to be the universal opinion according to the slew of veterans who have made the Labor Day festival a yearly tradition. The programmers at Telluride refer to filmmakers and attendees as "family" and considering how amazingly friendly everyone was, its hard not to see why.
This year's installment had fine films such as "Black Swan" (review), "Tabloid" (review), "127 Hours" (review), and the universally adored "The King's Speech" (review). Other movies that found positive notices were "Tamara Drewe" (review), "Inside Job" (review), "Precious Life" and "Another Year." Peter Weir's "The Way Back," "Incendies" and "Never Let Me Go" (review) received more mixed reaction -- at least from patrons. With that in mind, here are few quick roundup reviews from the festival
"Another Year"
Is there any living filmmaker who has provided the world more amazing performances by British actresses than Mike Leigh? From Imelda Staunton to Brenda Blethyn to Marianne Jean-Baptiste to, most recently, Sally Hawkins in "Happy-Go-Lucky," Leigh has a knack for bringing some of the most realistic and original women to the screen. "Year" features another great performance by one of his longtime collaborators, Leslie Manville, as a fiftysomething secretary who can't adjust to growing old and is entranced by the life of her co-worker (a droll Ruth Sheen, her co-worker's husband (a cheerful Jim Broadbent) and their 30-year-old son (Oliver Maltman). Spread over the course of a year and divided thematically by seasons, the picture slowly becomes less funny and more serious as it goes on, but overall its an enriching and subtle look at the pain of growing old alone. Good stuff.
Director Denis Villeneuve has created a visually stunning, dramatic and harrowing epic that finds two twins discovering the unbelievable life their mother had before immigrating to Canada. Unfortunately, the story strains of credibility as it reaches it's depressing conclusion. It's incredibly powerful filmmaking with a knockout performance by Lubna Azbal, but by the end of the picture you just don't believe it. And that's a problem.
"Of Gods and Men"
Currently causing controversy in the weeks before its French release, "Men" tells the true story of a group of eight monks who have to come to terms with whether they will risk death from Algerian terrorists or abandon the nearby village they have cared for over a decade. The film's heart is in the right place, but director Xavier Beauvois' pacing is, for lack of a better word, glacial. There is a great idea for a movie here and some wonderful characterizations by the eight actors playing the holy men, but it's so precious and self aware about its subject matter it ruins any emotional connection you should feel when the picture finally concludes.
On a lighter note, the biggest buzz at Telluride, wasn't about "The King's Speech," but the rumored attendance of none other than Brad Pitt. This writer couldn't find anyone who could actually confirm he was there or saw him walk the streets with their own eyes, but local residents insisted Pitt was in town on Saturday. Stars have dropped in to attend the festival just to catch a screening before (and some such as Laura Linney are just regular attendees), but with no photos or first hand reports, we ain't buying it. Would have been fun though if it was true.
Next up? Awards Campaign journeys to Toronto where Clint Eastwood, Megan Fox, Marion Cotillard, Ben Affleck, Nicole Kidman and more await. Hope you're ready TIFF, you've got a lot to live up to after your Colorado cousin's fine showing.

[0003]1. Field of the Invention
[0004]The present invention relates generally to manufacturing of head windows for submarines and more particularly to a fixture utilized during manufacture of the head window.
[0005]2. Description of the Prior Art
[0006]During manufacture of a head window for a submarine periscope system, a critical thickness space should be established between the glass window and the wall of a frame for the glass window. The critical thickness space forms a gap that cushions the head window against sea pressures. Uniform thickness of the critical thickness space is essential.
[0007]The following U.S. patents describe various prior art fixtures.
[0008]U.S. Pat. No. 3,652,146, issued Mar. 28, 1962, to D. S. George, provides a precision stage assembly for an optical microscope which comprises an outer frame adapted to be rigidly mounted on the main structure of an optical microscope, an inner frame for carrying an X and Y traverse device on which a specimen may be carried, an intermediate frame between the inner and outer frames adjustable relative to the outer frame by a coarse focus drive, and releasable clamping means for rigidly clamping together the intermediate and outer frames, the inner frame being adjustable relative to the intermediate frame by a fine focus control mechanism and the inner frame being located with reference to the intermediate frame such that significant relative movement therebetween is restricted to movement in a vertical direction. The George reference concerns specific application of controlled two axis movement of a stage of a microscope. The third axis is that of the microscope itself. The cited reference does not discuss any kind of process of forming a cushion.
[0009]U.S. Pat. No. 4,880,349, issued Nov. 14, 1989, to D. A. Woodward, discloses a ceramic substrate held in position, while being processed, by vacuum. The substrate is positioned on an intermediate plate and held down by a vacuum. The intermediate plate is supported on an air bearing while being moved into correct location on a support member, after which the intermediate plate is held in position by a vacuum. The locating of the intermediate plate can be caused to move into position during movement of the support member to a processing position. As such, the cited reference uses vacuum technology and air bearings to support and position ceramic substrates. The reference does not discuss the means by which positioning is controlled, nor a process for use and fabrication of a cushion.
[0010]U.S. Pat. No. 5,280,894, issued Jan. 25, 1994, to Witcraft et al., discloses a fixture which includes a lower base for supporting and protecting the front surface of a semiconductor wafer and a clamp. The lower base has an upper end having a central surface portion recessed from a peripheral surface portion for supporting by means of an O ring the peripheral portion of the front surface of the wafer. The clamp rests on a peripheral portion of the back surface of the wafer with the remaining back surface exposed to the backside etching process. A pin and hole arrangement help align the clamp to the base. Holes in the base equalize pressure on both sides of the wafer.
[0011]U.S. Pat. No. 5,400,674, issued Mar. 28, 1994, to Arnone et al., discloses a precision component mounting and positioning apparatus with a frame member and a stage member suspended in the frame member. The frame member is adapted to be mounted on a support surface, and the stage member is adapted to receive a precision component, typically a precision optical component such as an optical fiber or waveguide. The stage member can be positionally adjusted relative to the frame member in five degrees of freedom. Three axially oriented actuators are grounded in the frame member to provide for selectively rotating the stage member about two orthogonally disposed transverse axes relative to the frame member as well as for axially translating the stage member relative to the frame member. A pair of orthogonally opposed transverse actuators are grounded in the frame member and oriented to provide for transverse translation of the stage member relative to the frame member.
[0012]U.S. Pat. No. 5,513,594, issued May 7, 1996, to McClanahan et al., discloses an apparatus for releasably clamping a substrate to a support platform, or other support system, at a face of the substrate. In one embodiment, a retractable clamp holds a substrate near its edges on a support platform when the clamp is in its fully extended position. One or more leaf springs are mounted to the clamp and apply force to the substrate at respective points in the event the substrate adheres to the clamp, thereby releasing the substrate from the clamp. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one or more activators are positioned in cooperative relationship to the leaf springs to cause the leaf springs to retract into recesses in the clamp when the clamp is extended against the substrate. In their retracted position, the leaf springs do not contact the substrate so as to minimize the generation of particle contamination and the chance of the release leaf springs themselves adhering to the substrate. As such, the cited reference does not contain any position control devices nor does the reference discuss a process of use and application.
[0013]U.S. Pat. No. 6,231,038, issued May 15, 2001, to Keyser et al., discloses a clamp ring assembly for securing a generally circular workpiece to a supporting surface with an annular base ring having a radial inner surface of a predetermined diameter and at least one locking member. The base ring further includes at least one opening extending axially therethrough for securing the base ring to the supporting surface. An annular securing ring having a radial outer surface and a radial inner surface is provided. The diameter of the outer surface of the securing ring is the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner surface of the base ring and the securing ring includes at least one locking member for engaging the locking member of the base ring when the securing ring is assembled with the base ring. The securing ring also includes at least one workpiece engaging member for engaging and holding the workpiece against the supporting surface. As such, the cited reference does not contain any position control devices nor does the reference discuss a process of use and application.
[0014]U.S. Pat. No. 6,553,644, issued Apr. 29, 2003, to Karmaniolas et al., discloses processing workpieces utilizing a frame and a fixture. The frame has a perimeter with an opening, and inner and outer side walls. A pair of shelves is located in the opening for supporting a workpiece and a spring retains the workpiece on the frame. The fixture has work locations with elevators that are moved by an elevator handle. The fixture also has an engagement handle for actuating the springs. The workpieces may be simultaneously mounted to or removed from the frames with the fixture. The frames are loaded into the locations and both handles are rotated to raise the elevators and bend the springs. The workpieces are then placed on top of the elevators and the elevator handle is rotated to lower the workpieces. Next, the engagement handle is rotated to release the springs to form assemblies that can be removed from the fixture. As such, the cited reference does not contain any substantive position control.
[0015]The above cited prior art does not disclose a suitable fixture for use during construction involving mounting a head window for a periscope system within a suitable frame. Consequently, those skilled in the art will appreciate the present invention that addresses the above and other problems.
[0016]It is therefore a general purpose and primary object of the present invention to provide an improved head window potting fixture and method of use.
[0017]It is a further object of the present invention to establish a uniform critical thickness space between a glass window and wall of the frame.
[0018]It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a procedure whereby once a critical gap is established, the window and can be removed and reinstalled to the same dimension.
[0019]Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are attained by providing a fixture for mounting a head window to a frame for use within a periscope system. Components of the fixture comprise a baseplate and a clamping plate mountable to the baseplate. The clamping plate defines an opening with a plurality of members extending from the clamping plate into the opening.
[0020]A plurality of guide members may be utilized to constrain relative movement of the clamping plate with respect to the baseplate for movement in one direction toward and away from the baseplate.
[0021]A plurality of gages may be secured to the clamping plate for precise measurement of the relative movement between the clamping plate and the baseplate.
[0022]The clamping plate may define a recessed portion around the opening wherein the recessed portion comprises an oval-shaped outer perimeter. The recessed portion may be formed on one side of the clamping plate.
[0023]The fixture may comprise a plurality of springs mounted between the clamping plate and the baseplate. The plurality of springs may comprise coiled compression springs positioned around threaded members mounted in the baseplate. A spacer plate may be secured to the baseplate between the baseplate and the clamping plate.
[0024]The invention comprises a method for connecting a head window to a frame for use within a periscope system. Steps of the method may comprise connecting a clamping plate to a baseplate for relative movement towards and away from the baseplate wherein the relative movement of the clamping plate is constrained to movement in one direction toward and away from the baseplate.
[0025]Method steps may comprise forming an opening in the clamping plate such that the head window is accessible through the opening and/or bonding the head window to the clamping plate whereby the head window and the clamping plate are integral with respect to each other.
[0026]After completing the bonding of the head window to the clamping plate, the method might comprise subsequently disconnecting the clamping plate and the head window and removing from the baseplate. Steps may also comprise subsequently reconnecting the clamping plate and the head window to the baseplate.
[0027]The method may comprise mounting springs between the clamping plate and the baseplate.
[0028]The method may comprise mounting a plurality of gages to the clamping plate to provide measurements of the relative movement between the clamping plate and the baseplate.
[0029]A more complete understanding of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereto will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts and wherein:
[0030]FIG. 1 is an plan view (partially in hidden lines) of a head window fixture in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; and
[0031]FIG. 2 is an elevational view (partially in hidden lines) of the head window fixture of FIG. 1 in accordance with the present invention with the view taken along reference line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
[0032]In one possible embodiment, the present invention is directed to a fixture 10 for providing a mounting foundation for the head window frame and/or to help form a mold for the potting material. The fixture 10 may be utilized to establish a critical thickness space that forms a gap to cushion the head window against sea pressures. In one possible embodiment, the fixture 10 may serve to hold the head window such that once the critical gap is established, then the head window can be removed and reinstalled to the same dimension repeatably. In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the fixture 10 may hold all the components in position until final cure of the potting material is attained.
[0033]Baseplate 12 acts as a foundation for the fixture 10 upon which all the relevant components are supported. Clamping plate 22 may be mounted above the baseplate 12. In one possible embodiment, four dowel pins, such as dowel pins 14, 16, 18, and 20 may be pressed into the baseplate 12.
[0034]The dowel pins 16 and 18 may be longer than the dowel pins 14 and 20. For example, the dowel pins 14 and 20 might be three inches long, and the dowel pins 16 and 18 might be only two inches long. However, the invention is not limited to the above dimensions. Furthermore, the dowel pins 14, 16, 18, and 20 may be utilized as guide members to ensure that the clamping plate 22 remains parallel to the baseplate 12 at all times during the potting operation. The dowel pins 14, 16, 18 and 20 allow the clamping plate 22 to move freely in a vertical direction with respect to the baseplate 12, but prevent any out of tolerance racking or side to side movement with respect to the baseplate. Other types of guide members, known to those skilled in the art, may also be utilized.
[0035]Threaded rods 24, 26, and 28 may be threaded or otherwise secured into the baseplate 12. The threaded rods 24, 26, and 28 are used to support associated knurled knobs 30, 32, and 34. Each threaded rod 24, 26, and 28 may also be utilized to support an assembly of one or more compression springs and/or spacer plates and/or flat washers, and the like.
[0036]As one possible example, flat washers such as flat washer 36 may be mounted on the threaded rod 28 beneath the knurled knob 34 and above the clamping plate 22. Another flat washer 38 may be mounted on the threaded rod 28 below the clamping plate 22 and above compression spring 40. Another flat washer 42 may be mounted on the threaded rod 28 between the compression spring 40 and compression spring 44. In this example, the compression spring 44 engages the baseplate 12. The compression springs 40 and 44 may comprise different diameters. Similar or the same assembly of flat washers and compression springs may be utilized with each of the other threaded rods 24 and 26.
[0037]The knurled knobs 30, 32, and 34 allow for smooth compression of the clamping plate 22 against the frame when the frame is in position. The springs, such as the springs 40 and 44, provide a resistance against movement of the clamping plate 22 towards the baseplate 12 by biasing the clamping plate in a direction away from the baseplate. When it is time to remove the completed assembly from the fixture 10, the springs force the clamping plate 22 upwardly to allow removal of the completed assembly from the fixture.
[0038]Spacer plate 46 is attached to the baseplate 12. The spacer plate 46 may be attached utilizing various means such as screws or other fasteners. In one possible embodiment, the spacer plate 46 is secured to the baseplate 12 utilizing seven screws. Positioning means such as one or more pins may be utilized to accurately position the spacer plate 46 on the baseplate 12.
[0039]In one possible embodiment, three recessed sections are provided on the edges of the baseplate 12. FIG. 2 depicts recessed sections 48 and 50. Each recessed section accepts the end of an associated dial indicator. For example, the recessed section 48 accepts end 52 of dial indicator 54. The recessed section 50 accepts end 56 of dial indicator 58. Dial 60 is shown in FIG. 1. Standoffs 62, 64, and 66 may be secured to-the clamping plate 22 and utilized to support dials 54, 58, and 60.
[0040]An irregular opening 72 is formed through the clamping plate 22, as shown in FIG. 1. The outer dashed lines in FIG. 1 indicate an oval recess perimeter 74 for an oval-shaped recess formed on the lower side of the clamping plate 22. Recessed perimeter 74 is sized and shaped for the head window (not shown). In one possible example, the recessed perimeter 74 may be slightly smaller than the shape of the head window (not shown).
[0041]A plurality of inwardly extending members 70 extend inwardly from the recess perimeter 74 within the opening 72. The plurality of inwardly extending members 70 extend into the opening 72 from the recess perimeter 74. The inwardly extending members 70 are spaced from each other around the opening 72 and define a plurality of lobe-shaped openings 76 therebetween. In this example, six inwardly extending members 70 extend inwardly from recess perimeter 74. However, if desired, fewer or more members 70 might be utilized.
[0042]Grooves 68 are provided on each inwardly extending member to thereby define head window engagement surfaces or feet 78 along an inner edge of the opening 72. Thus, the head window engagement surfaces or feet 78 are separated from the rest clamping plate 22 by the grooves 68.
[0043]In operation, the head window may be positioned between the baseplate 12 and the clamping plate 22. In this embodiment, pairs of springs and flat washers, such as the springs 40 and 44 and the flat washers 38 and 42, may be placed over the threaded rods 24, 26, and 28. The clamping plate 22 is then mounted on the threaded rods 24, 26, and 28. The knurled knobs 30, 32, and 34 may be utilized to lower the clamping plate 22 toward the head window. The dowel pins 14, 16, 18, and 20 constrain movement of the clamping plate 22 to move only vertically with respect to the baseplate 12. Dial indicators 54, 58, and 60 may be utilized to verify and measure the vertical position at three different points on the clamping plate 22. Dial indicators 54, 58, and 60 may be utilized to control movement of the clamping plate 22 during the potting process.
[0044]Feet 78 rest on the head window when the head window is in place and provide a means to bond the head window to the clamping plate 22 for removal during the potting process. Thus, one possible use of the opening 72 is to form the feet 78 and thereby optimize a contact area for bonding between the clamping plate 22 and the head window.
[0045]In one possible embodiment, shim stock (not shown) or other spacers may be inserted within the recessed portion to locate the head window within the frame and to form the critical gap. The shims are kept in place until the adhesive bond between the head window and the clamping plate 22 has fully cured. Once cured, the head window and the clamping plate 22 become integral to one another. Thus, the head window and the clamping plate 22 can be removed from the guide dowel pins 14, 16, 18, and 20 and the rest of the fixture 10. As well, the head window and the clamping plate 22 can be replaced and still maintain the uniformly spaced gap established by the shims. During the potting process, the shims are not required. Thus, one possible feature of the present invention is the ability of bonding the head window to the clamping plate 22 to permit full disassembly of the fixture 10 without losing the critical gap thickness.
[0046]Various types of materials and associated gages and hardware may be utilized with the fixture 10. The fixture 10 may be utilized to pot other head windows with simple modifications to the base 12, spacer plate 46, clamping plate 22 and/or other components.
[0047]Advantages of the present invention include the ability to create a controlled space in which a gap of a specific thickness can be created and filled with a potted cushioning material. The present invention includes a fixture and method to control three axes "x" and "y" by virtue of shims and the "z" axis by means of a screw and dial indicator movement. The present invention not only secures the work piece (in this case, a piece of glass--a periscope head window) controls the location and movement of the work; the present application discusses a repeatable process by which a gasket of a controlled thickness can be manufactured.
[0048]Many additional changes in the details, components, steps, and organization of the system, herein described and illustrated to explain the nature of the invention, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of the invention. It is therefore understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

Bell tolls for crew that perished in 1969
"On April 15, 1969, an EC-121 reconnaissance plane from VQ-1 squadron was on a surveillance mission in international airspace when it was shot down by a North Korean MiG fighter jet.All 31 crewmembers on the EC-121 perished.The 32nd anniversary of the incident eerily coincided with the events of earlier this month, when 24 crewmembers of an EP-3E surveillance plane, also from the VQ-1 squadron, was bumped by a Chinese F8 fighter jet and forced to make an emergency landing on the Chinese island of Hainan. This month's incident, however, ended happily when the 24 crewmembers returned home April 14 to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, just one day before the anniversary of their predecessors' death.VQ-1 remembered the 31 fallen sailors in a Two-Bell memorial service at Whidbey Island NAS' base chapel on Thursday afternoon. VQ-1 commanding officer, Cmdr. Bernard Lessard, and VQ-1 Command Master Chief David Wellsteadt officiated the ceremony.During the Two-Bell ceremony, the name of each fallen crewmember was read, one at a time, followed by two clangs of a Navy ship's bell. The solemn, poignant ceremony began with the National Anthem, and concluded with Taps.The ceremony served as a reminder of where we come from and what our sailors have done, and continue to do on a daily basis, Lessard said.Of the 31 fallen crewmembers, Lessard said, They gave their lives. Sailors perform their mission every day, Lessard said, so Americans can continue to enjoy the kind of freedom and democracy that we do today.The 31 crewmembers who lost their lives were: Lt. Cmdr. James Howard Overstreet, Lt. John Dzema, Lt. Dennis Baird Gleason, Lt. Peter Philip Perrottet, Lt. Robert Frank Taylor, Lt. John Halleck Singer, Lt. j.g. Joseph Richard Ribar, Lt. j.g.

The 25-year-old researcher has spent years analyzing how spyware and adware programs work and publicizing his findings. That often results in red faces and, occasionally, lawsuit threats from companies like WhenU and Claria, formerly known as Gator.
When testing spyware and adware, Edelman isn't about to sacrifice his own Windows XP computer. So he uses the VMware utility to create a virtual Windows box.
"I infect the hell out of it," he says. "It destroys the infected machine."
A law student at Harvard University, Edelman is also working on a doctoral degree in economics. CNET News.com caught up with him after he spoke at a conference in San Francisco sponsored by News.com's sister site, Download.com.
Q: What got you interested in spyware in the first place?
Edelman: I took a call from the plaintiffs in the Washington Post case against Gator. They thought what Gator was doing was absolutely destructive to the availability of free content on the Web. After all, if advertisers could buy ads from Gator to reach the Washington Post's audience, who would buy ads from The Washington Post?
I happened to think they were right. But the case settled out of court on the eve of trial, so we didn't find out for sure whether Gator's business was legit.
How much time have you spent since then on spyware-related topics?
Edelman: It's scary. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning right now, more so than classes, more so than my dissertation research. I probably spend 30 hours a week. It's been nonstop for the past 15 months. Before that, it was quite a bit less intense.
What was the most interesting thing you've discovered?
Edelman: There's just a huge amount of money changing hands here. The biggest, richest American companies are buying advertising through spyware. The biggest, richest venture capital firms are investing in those who make this kind of unwanted software. That's names like American Express, Sprint PCS, Disney, Expedia, Guy Kawasaki's firm.
You're using the word 'spyware.' But you also mean the advertising-based networks with pop-up ads, right?
Edelman: Absolutely right. My claim is that each of the so-called adware networks has obtained installations and is still obtaining installations in ways that offer such poor notice and obtain such limited consent--sometimes none at all--that users can't fairly be said to have consented. If they didn't consent, and their activities are being monitored or transmitted, then that's spying.
Have you ever been threatened by spyware makers or adware makers?
Edelman: Yes. Some vendors have challenged the permissibility of my methods. For example, Gator was awfully angry when I posted a Web service that let any Web site operator see how Gator was targeting their site with competitors' pop-ups. They sent a series of legal papers, complaints, threats to me and my then-bosses at Harvard's Berkman Center.
I seem to remember that you had written some controversial software that tested what one adware program was doing--I think it was WhenU.
Edelman: I can't comment about that.
Ask Jeeves seems to be an above-the-board company. What's your complaint with them?
Edelman: The core problem is Ask Jeeves' installation practices. Sometimes their software gets installed without any notice or

March 31, 2012 BY Brendan Dunne / 9
The idea of a high-tech runner being built from canvas probably doesn't seem like the best one on paper, but with the Nike Air Max 97 being long-since removed from its context as a performance sneaker its definitely fair game at this point for a bit of material mashup. The result is actually surprisingly natural looking, no doubt due in part to the solidly blocked releases that make up the range like the 'Sport Red' shown here. Fortunately for our stateside readers, this sneaker has touched down on American soil as of now and can be had at fine retailers like Oneness. Hit them up to grab a pair after you check out the rest of the Nike Air Max 97 CVS 'Sport Red' after the jump.

PDC complaints mount against KCLS over Renton mailing; read letter, study
Renate Beedon filed a complaint Tuesday with the Washington Public Disclosure Commission against the King County Library System, claiming the library system over-stepped its bounds by mailing a letter about the upcoming Aug. 7 library vote.
The Public Disclosure Commission has received two similar complaints about this issue, said Lori Anderson, a PDC spokeswoman.
"We are in the process of deciding whether to investigate," she said, which will take a week to two weeks.
"Public agencies can inform their constituents about ballot measures, but it has to be done in a balanced way without supporting or opposing the measure," she said.
Beedon and her husband Dave became upset after talking with some friends and neighbors about a letter they received from KCLS about Proposition 1 that asks voters to decide where a new downtown library should be located.
"She and I both feel that he (Bill Ptacek, KCLS director) has no business telling Renton voters about this in advance of an election," said Dave Beedon.
Both of the Beedons felt the letter was an unfair attempt by KCLS to influence voters into choosing the site west of the Piazza for the new downtown library.
The letter sent out by KCLS gave background information on the downtown Renton library renovation from a new feasibility study and ballot measure to select a site location.
In it, KCLS defines the interlocal agreement between KCLS and the City of Renton.
It informs readers that the City of Renton has already spent nearly $1 million on the property acquisition and design since selecting the site west of the Piazza.
The letter goes on to detail why it is more expensive, and more complicated to build the library at the site over the Cedar River.
"The letter from KCLS in my opinion was wrongfully paid by public money," said Renate Beedon.
The letter went to about 43,000 households in Renton and cost $10,000 total for mail preparation,postage and printing. (An earlier total did not include printing costs.)
KCLS gives letter recipients a summary of the situation stating, "Site selection and construction costs remain the responsibility of the City of Renton," wrote Bill Ptacek, KCLS director. "We understand that the increased cost for construction at the site over the Cedar River is in excess of the City's budgeted amount."
Julie Brand, a KCLS spokesperson, Julie Brand maintains the system has not "taken a position on the ballot measure and has only distributed information that is relevant to building a library to KCLS standards."
The letter was reviewed by KCLS' attorneys to ensure compliance with Public Disclosure Commission guidelines, according to Brand.
Brand quotes Public Disclosure guidelines to say "It is not only the right, but the responsibility of local government to inform the general public of the operational and maintenance issues facing issues. This includes informing the community of the needs of the agency that the community may not realize exist. Local governments may expend funds for this purpose provided that the preparation and distribution of information is not for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election."
She uses that explanation in an email to say that it is KCLS's responsibility to distribute factual information that is relevant to the operation of the library system.
Dave Beedon called the letter "at least in poor taste, a waste of money and maybe even illegal."
He found it interesting that Ptacek mentioned the costs involved in renovating the downtown library considering the fact that he is a government employee and, in Dave's opinion, shouldn't be concerned with how much it would cost to renovate the library at its current location.
Rosemary Quesenberry of Renton also received the letter and decided to file a complaint with the Public Disclosure Commission on Tuesday.
"I feel that as strapped as the budget is, this probably isn't the best way to spend our dollars," she said.
Quesenberry found fault in KCLS hiring Miller-Hull Architects, the firm already working on the project, to do an "in-depth investigation of potential construction scheduling and cost considerations," the letter reads.

In December 1997 announcer Mike Goldberg made his UFC debut in the "The Land of the Rising Sun." For almost 15 years, with only a handful of exceptions, he's been the sole play-by-play voice of the UFC.
No longer.
The UFC's brand new broadcast deal with the Fox family has ramped up an already busy schedule and announcers Goldberg and color man Joe Rogan simply couldn't keep up with the demand. Tonight, the two men who have become synonymous with the UFC on television will give way to veteran ESPN broadcaster Jon Anik.
The 33-year-old Anik will host the brand new Ultimate Fighter and call the action on FX and Fuel. Partnered with fighter Kenny Florian, Anik will attempt to fill Goldberg's very large shoes.
Bleacher Report caught up with Anik on the eve of his first show to introduce you to the man who will walk you through the action for what should be years to come.
