Cam Newton transformed into Legos for magazine cover
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A life-size bust of Cam Newton was created out of 25,000 Lego pieces for a cover feature for SI Kids magazine.
Lego Master Builder Erik Varszegi first designed the bust using a 3D model of Newton's head and shoulders on a computer, which took about three days.
Varszegi had to tweak his creation once he released that Newton's hair had grown longer than the picture he was originally using. He said he had to rebuild parts of the head from scratch.
After the 3D model was made, Varszegi and Lego Model Shop Assistant Chelsey Crawford constructed the model using the Lego bricks, which took an addition two days.
Newton pictured with the model will be featured on the October issue of SI Kids.

Michael Holley believes there's one sure-fire way for the Red Sox to win both the PR battle and help improve their team... sign Josh Hamilton, whatever it takes, whatever the cost. Glenn disagrees. Fireworks ensue.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
This is what the plan -- And it makes all the sense in the world buying and you've got original view. You no no no let's not wait until I show you Brooke I'm not you can't. I'm not talking about Bogart's. I'm not talking about Jackie Bradley. I'm not talking about Barnes and not talking about a glaciers. Talked. About -- proven commodity. It Major League Baseball. You've seen them he's one of the top ten players in the game. He's -- freeagent. And damn -- we've been over again this spring Glen short way I've been joked the other. You've been guilty yeah that I'm an old man to be guilty. I've seen though like. -- Hewitt in three years. 25 million dollars a year and you go out and you get yourself Josh on the present and now. That's not overreacting to it just hours ago I don't here's the here's a key phrase. It's not it's not overreacting. Let's not over think it. If you've got one of the top players in baseball who has told you what these issues are no secrets here skeletons in the closet. All the skeletons are out everybody -- the world know. And he has struggled. With substance abuse at a relentless he had a relapse that probably -- for that too. He's talked about it he's out for everybody knows there are no secret their diagnosis talent to as long as you're not committing to Josh Hamilton. One of the greatest natural talents and baseball we've seen in the last ten or fifteen years. Is not yet is not one of the greatest natural. Talent in baseball that we team in the last -- Fifteen years pretty good about telling -- he's pretty good that may be a pretty good guess slight exaggeration of okay good good etiquette and putting good let's let's take your -- as long as you don't go five years with this guy you're gonna -- -- you may have to three years. 25 million dollars a year I think somebody's gonna -- five years and tell you why. Because I said he lashed. And there was this co host I was working last year. Looks like he -- and he sat there is said to me figures you say that is that it could -- is no there's no. That anybody's going to give fielder or give pujols would 200 I don't know -- Right. And what happened but they've both got to -- it right now you're you're hearing the early part. A free agents. Somebody's gonna buy into somebody's gonna get in the money our broad enough daylight is what -- -- -- and here's why. The teams are able to do this and this is why Rogers Communication about is racing horizon for Fortier another twenty options and -- options options -- -- and that means that if the book club -- should they pick up the option if you suck. Or you're you're you're go back to your your bad habits they can jettison you out here that's not a guarantee for the player agents are gonna do that. He's gonna get a five year deal why because. He is the best player in this year's free agent draft as it is much as. The free agency name may not be a solid cool. He's the -- And somebody gonna fall for here's the other Rogers communications despite all of this money why did they do because they know starting next year. Every team is going to get another 24 million dollars handed to them. For doing nothing but being part of this new television contract so they know they have more money to spend. The Red Sox what I fear the most about the -- And it might be good if you are thinking 5345. Years down the wrong. Is they sit back and say will -- -- a player we get per year here. A two year deal there overpay them like they did with David Ross. These guys in here. And what weight. For the young players to develop it if you don't. I am telling you look at how popular Red Sox have been in this market. If they are a last place team over the next couple years. They will have a major problem what makes you think major problems holding onto the base and makes you think -- an interest in Josh Hamilton for example. -- but I think they are but I don't think they're gonna give them five years I think you're right I don't know about 45 million but I think they would give him. A two or three year deal because that's how they're thinking right now you know what you're thinking that what is their skin and it is award. They are frightened. Because they've got burned now because they should not Jennifer I should. Here's what they did. They got her and if somebody six or seven years they got burned Michael because they did a poor job of shop. It was money that hurt them. If you're if you're money team. If you're one really the the teams that import it revenue to the organization right you -- a much better positioned on the race but the Orioles but the athletics. Then the pirates okay. But if you don't spend it properly and you waste. And the guy suck. We go through the lineup of both of the -- okay -- you know what I'm talking about of the free agent mistakes they've made. That's for -- a valuation that's spending the money going into the grocery store and buy all of the junk food and not taking care of the staples. When is the last time in free agency. Last I'm afraid that got the answer for it you get it right. Now you're coming up with the answer I got -- why don't if you got any answer before -- until the question how direct Redick got the right. That's a good tech -- and that is to get what is the last time the Red Sox. Jumped -- to free agency. Signed a guy and everybody said. While this guy there are no questions about his talent he is the best. Player available it's not even subjective it's clear he's the best. Player available and they got -- -- again -- and it I I don't know bit. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You're talking about apples and Collard greens coming completely different names like Al agrees to -- but there have not the most out most of you don't make them -- Apple's. J. D. Drew. Was not a guy. Julio -- yeah that guy I think -- that it and it didn't the last about it on it was a Manny. Like it to add -- Manny Ramirez and it worked well 107 I'll tell you more what you got let's say what made H I might point to get a guy in Curt Schilling. The other teams couldn't afford to. They want to get a deal -- Beckett because they could afford it and they want an old 407 because they were the highest. Level when. You're not listening that's exactly the point. When you have a guy like Josh Hamilton. Who is clearly the best. Who's not overrated. Who's not a product of some system who has not been. Now who was not been tagged with. Performance enhancing drugs -- lot of things about your the way I don't what you're right we did -- the -- -- You go out -- guys available in Europe the Boston Red Sox. Get on for five years now for five he's vilified. -- -- He's going to get other acres out there however if they don't worry doctor the tigers gave him more money yet he's don't want five and a lot of against the Eiffel. What this guy -- James Bond movies so. Once five years. He wants five years and there's no market for five years he's not gonna give you one of the wanted to. I want to be and what happened. He. Couldn't afford it. And the -- Milan made another -- are they need a big strong -- could do some. Yeah starting -- there's no need you to report card to pay Daniel Craig can afford to. Monetize them that's the problem that this team has right now that if they sit back. I must say that you overreact to what the rate the the Jason do. If you sit back and think that we're gonna wait around like small market teams are forced to do because they simply don't have the money to do -- And wait for the young talent to emerge. We're gonna sit here with a few bad years and if that happens. And the Red Sox really believed that they're insulated from all of this and the people just love the Red Sox in the hallways of the Red Sox. And they are gonna do it and they got to continue to go for years and five years and six years without playoff. I'm telling you this crowd will go south they belief. They believe they won't have the selloff that wanna worry about the brakes just not what you won't want the breaks go get a Josh Hamilton caller. I don't I don't want to three years I'm with. You -- for three years I don't believe you can have a three years you could talk me in a four above five -- I don't know why wouldn't why wouldn't he at his age right now. Why would he take a three year deal you -- the -- gone from a five year deal. Are you know that you didn't show the same thing lined up designated usually in the same thing I'm not stand -- and -- -- why I'm pausing. Now I hope it doesn't matter at -- is this not. This is too -- -- you can't give -- long term governor well. Thank you see and his daughter -- Roma raw seeing what's -- big below to see it every day in the mirror. So you when you when you look at it and it -- talked about it a big heavy guy. Right. Now you'd like to and then shot that's unbelievable I think that's something you know I was he's done. And revenue. So another what you don't -- -- -- -- four hours it -- it would mean you know I we -- give other women inevitable growth of the occupied. I -- watch 77797937. As anybody out there. Concerned about our baseball team here. I agree that worried about where they're going and I know you don't want to overreact let's not go inside you know why are you worried about signing guys -- the Red Sox have done a crappy job. Of spending money and shopping -- setting the wrong guys so you're fearful of it but what's the alternative we're gonna sit around wait for the kids to develop. I'm not sure in this market. You can get away and you went to Kansas City Pittsburgh maybe Tampa Bay can't get away with -- Boston. A phone calls next to James Bond exception Bob -- I shelf -- to it we'll get it isn't football little bit later on Rex Ryan is crying that's always amusing for. Us up here in New England will get into that will get into Andrew Luck in the game coming up this weekend all of that little bit later on. And another great rent by Stephen day can always count on Steve and I AM rats without even drop and and and more unbelievable get into that ultimately how about that now about going. I don't know anybody right now and but he did agree anybody associated -- gangrene. Of the Disco lights. Knowledge. Of the them literally about a -- I didn't say I wanted to -- Who want to beat games on -- for Daniel Craig though. A lot to live up to a tradition of solace Sean Connery Roger -- like -- hang out. I would like. To start at the strive to be in the movie. I. -- that respect. To bring you back design jaws odd job to reserves on the right there and I animal invasion of I have to move regulate -- okay. Feature which it was the best of -- now I don't think so now know a lot of good a lot of great note that it was okay. I was disappointed that. Got to the end known well for you guys who haven't seen it play out in the accident. I expected. To see -- -- -- and gotten expectancy. -- there. That he inherited. A. Good -- -- -- to have a tricked out -- I didn't have you wanna be at the bottom of did he bring. -- and it goes about her out well I'd. They don't -- -- I can't -- this event and Christmas classic. -- leaving Gillette Stadium yesterday a case that we pleased about the parking lot. And he's he's threat of her -- you know he's he's -- just battle -- don't -- -- -- of the energy I hear squat and had an up and coming out of that engine. You could probably thought overall as a strong how excited of bonds that are stronger sound just keep James Von I lol. -- witnessed when his motorcycle environment this. Is Hollywood this with or is there and got things and it knows both of us -- -- -- and Jack that was scary got. Motorcycle talking about it and nothing that was a month with a lot of noise I saw you that you -- trash out the window that's not read. That is not green. Mocha we'll get to all of this other -- but how out of Fallujah did you ever think the blue jays and the way. Should be embarrassed down there in in Miami how much 80% of that stadium paid by taxpayer dollars in a recession. They they go spend a fortune to get everybody excited for how you invest your tax dollars did you get the entire team right don't pay for that. Stadium resistant but this team. So. Exactly embarrass. I -- goes we go here's Joseph and did you. And I -- on Jill. I after the agreement -- on -- and open up picked up at all pending handle them that that he picked up. I think it it we -- pitching. -- that she's been horrible. Utley as. Hamilton to check out what about the pick them up. I'm really don't want -- not even a -- well off and oh yeah why not how we built our black yeah they came out but it's. -- -- just -- -- jobs might not score runs in the second -- web site and I wanna service and you're great caller iPad as well which you know sometimes our equipment. Freezes and sometimes of phones. Our garbage very difficult for the year I thought in cannot -- say that I thought I heard you say. I don't want Josh Hamilton on our team I thought maybe the equipment. Skewed what you had to say what did you say golden and say that -- -- really don't want. Josh Hamilton on the Red Sox are like -- I. I want and if you get him at the right price if you get into a five or six year deal which I think you may have to get into with with him on the archer. Pitching pitching and -- pitching about a way when you say Joseph what should be pitching pitching and more -- And that's why I'd like what -- -- crazy about race because we played art sixty games -- you do have to worry about him he's a little bit fragile. But if you put Josh Johnson on that team coming off of Tommy John. He was pretty damn good last year even though we didn't win enough games with he didn't get run support. He's in the final year of his deal the Red Sox -- -- signed him because this is the type of team where he would stay. He's the guy I want in that rotation he will have a terrific season because he's going for a contract. I I I have to agree that arm I mean don't get me wrong -- -- in the great lineup. -- heard a lot to. Our -- aren't actually our law. On I would legal the pitch and I -- that we can edit it in 08. In a raid that app at one that now aren't so I would think they don't let that be part of the championship every night. And they -- it mean the thing is that they're going to be able to trade one of those guys away whether it's shields might -- price. They're -- and then trade him to Boston. But aren't they trade one of those guys the way they can make that deal they can get themselves that back and get a Longoria hasn't been able to hold up and if you look at them. The problem they have is when he's injured any misses forty or fifty games they have problems. Text on the TT tech sciences. About James Bond movies they make and Norbert too. I should go for that out how okay. All right -- because in orbit. Eddie Murphy got to any -- He'd be attending an opinion that's all right and asked if -- so if you have Teddy Newton and nor do. I could be nor can I get it as early and yet but she was Joseph BJ's restaurant and it's hard edged up for the big show WEEI. Good afternoon bill and let's not -- I -- media player by any right now that's -- Oh yeah did you see some of the twitch -- or historical. Hysterical from the Miami players they're furious just as there are still don't think they do aren't as good player the most they have. Allow for. A if you're if you're a fan of that team and you get so excited last year when he talked about becoming a big market team. Spending a lot of money we get this beautiful stadium thank you taxpayers for helping us -- we know that you're losing your house is in Florida is the -- underwater and can't pay taxes or whatever. But you for giving us a few extra bucks so we can build -- beautiful what juries ballpark. And then oh yeah a year later Astrid. Well -- certainly well yeah it's a year later but you look at it this way I think the excitement. Excitement wore off a couple of times. The first time -- wore off -- when the manager was talking about Fidel Castro. And then it -- are big down and then it wore off when when he bill. It wasn't performing the way they thought it would perform. That it wore -- some more. In July and August when they were out of it. And I had to trade Hanley Ramirez I actually think when Ozzie went off Marco Rubio became a -- -- these games up on them. I hit a -- either lap record that would I laughed but that it was like a silence -- having any need to get your. It you want those and so yeah I was British this is not this is not -- not a -- got out of James Bond movie yeah tell me. -- There's much Providence and -- -- the Hollywood so I agree with open you know because it out but he won't get it done I don't appear more fiscally responsible. I think I can identify or get the best player I agree with Michael I mean I I see no reason why don't jump on even by the yeah -- they have the money that spent. Let me just hit it let me ask you this -- Mike is a plan when you say. Unity unity can understand him being fiscally responsible whenever what -- a paper ticket next year. Well they drug -- drug. Why don't let but we aren't figured it out but not -- the owners are are gonna raise prices always -- they tell us first W can't raise the price even if you want a championship because you're in a -- and recession. People can't get the question is there's still going out. The highest priced. Ticket in Major League Baseball -- -- gonna come back everybody -- around for Bradley beach is. Picky and it's gonna be terrific into it for you why do you think I'm gonna bite you have -- you have inside information that this is happening you seem convinced that the Red -- programs but I'm convinced -- the Red Sox will get. One and two year deals with players to carry this over for the next couple years and they will be a best a mediocre. They gave you they gave a two year deal to David Ortiz because that made sense it wasn't like they sense inmates and thirty million bucks it makes Jessica -- -- -- fourteenth when it makes sense for Bryant. -- that makes sense US and answer this question Mike and going. It makes sense this take all the money out of it does make sense to give David Ortiz hit four year contract no no -- so that's why. You're taken Ortiz contract and it was two years -- -- thinking because they gave -- or at least two years gonna give everybody else. You were three years they're gonna bring in players that are gonna it's they're gonna sign for two years one and two -- -- And one year deals are very hard to come by their very rare. You need a player like -- a couple years ago in Beltre that was tried to reinvent himself on the in the open market and he did and he got himself terrific deal. The two year deals -- what they're gonna throw out there because they're gonna they're gonna sell everybody on the fact that we're waiting for the kids and I don't you. If anybody thinks it's gonna be enjoyable might have been enjoyable for a few weeks to see some of the kids this year anybody thinks it's going to be enjoyable for two years. Playing the kids out there to lying to yourself. At at at at the highest. Prices in Major League Baseball. -- the thing I don't understand is years ago when it was you have a good Formula -- -- we've identified stars that we need bringing grinder is like a lol. And the bill Miller's and it's implicate it kind of lost sight of that this. No wait a minute hold on that was great to get the molds and and -- people like that. But they were wrapped -- -- huge hearts of their surplus will always great players and team are priced. -- wasn't a bargain guy now it was a throw in with Josh. -- and guys -- Bill Miller. The -- guys are. David Ortiz. Kevin Millar -- depart guy's record right now and you win without having the -- -- killings in a capital case. Have got to have an -- -- there after being where they get big stars -- they get -- I'm trying to tell you where you get one. You know what -- -- Josh Hamilton. Have you wanna -- you heard of tech's Michael you're talking fantasy you're talking movies you're talking -- north Darfur you realize stifle. Those things really didn't happen that was all they have computers that we can do all the special that's what was done in the US for spell Alex here. Because if you are words you want Josh. Josh Kabul. If you want Josh Hamilton what you need to do recipients that we're really willing to commit. At five years for Josh Hamilton Scottish art to be talked in the four I'd think very seriously about I try something it's not -- hospital. Here's here's this in my question I don't understand what's going on with our FaceBook page basement -- arms that WE -- people were asked which you go after Josh Hamilton. Now a guy named John junior. Jumpy junior. Says no on -- need to make Smart moves not waste money Josh Hamilton. I think Anthony Hamilton. I'd say Thomas the big camp Hamilton let's -- Josh Hamilton that's one another guy Ken says Hamilton ago. There are so much baggage with that dude. However we're always gonna get however when he's on he's one of the best hitters in baseball tonight on something out mag. Makes cents. Yes -- -- after she agrees with -- she says and snag capital scared me Mister Ed snag Napoli while they're at it it's not -- rubberized -- -- -- great it's not rocket science -- -- great -- -- -- Napoli is Napoli is one of those Michael guys that you into a team. After you got grinder to bars or restaurant -- griner in an organization where you grind where to get this done an immigrant. Johnson and I don't want to talk to I don't -- extra money say five years is the only way you're getting him. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- We're -- what are our what are sausage yesterday. Haters gonna hate. SARS is gonna solve soft gonna -- our -- -- Elmo -- that we are we do we find out what dab in the big board we'll find out about this I would get a couple of these Texans are AT&T. Excellent AT&T forgy LTD -- throwing this out of seen it before. Are such that nothing what -- San Francisco have this past year law. Check out San Francisco's. Pitching -- you know like. Which -- pitching. Good for the game. That's what they had and that's just compare. What you saw with the giants you compare the giants' pitching staff to the Red Sox in night. I had a guy fell miserably on him this year and what's come out attending -- kind of agree with that -- in this. You don't need to be stacked. One through nine in the American you don't you don't need to be that I would start I would agree that argued that Tampa the U 27 raised their prime example what do you have to. While it is good to have pitching one thing you want to be stacked. And money this money's sitting around. Complicated you've got tons of money there's free agency. And you've got one of the best hitters in baseball. Available in free agency. It. Offer. You -- him at least you won't you won't keep haven't covered what are the market value I don't know oil market doubt -- -- right now would be five year. It might be in my because it going to be absolutely right but at this point and they maybe don't. They may be so we have to live may -- making the tires to -- I would do more than kick the tires which can master. Which the protester over Josh Hamilton tries -- Prius would you give you -- How -- -- -- I would I would guess are you gonna have to do if you want to get those type of players you will in essence over if and if you're right in it turns out to be a terrific player you're all set in the -- -- -- this thing fails miserably. You've you've you've got to wait on. Texas would give them five years. Texas has awarded him five -- of one of the Texas -- for a more -- they've got to -- all I think Nolan Ryan some of the comments he's made right to me there's more than just. The substance abuse situation with Josh Hamilton don't you get -- -- or something it's something this -- -- something going on Detroit this spent even more money. On Torii Hunter he's been -- 200 million dollars last year on I am well got that confidence by the winds of thirty million dollars a year for good player. You got money -- 3737. Years old and look at how he plays the game I played lesser risk he had a terrific -- last year. -- -- -- But is he going to do a -- and by the way that was a contract year.

Why did you form the OBA?
- Because Bermuda needs choice and change
To end the monopolistic strangle-hold two parties have had on Bermuda's Government. There has been only one change in Government in nearly a half century.
The serious issues facing our country did not develop overnight. They were not thrust upon us. They are homegrown problems. And yet the government – the same government that was in charge as each crisis began to spin out of control – is short on solutions.
We believe Bermuda needs leadership that has fresh, new ideas as well as the experience to implement those ideas and effect the change Bermuda needs. The One Bermuda alliance was launched on May 12, 2011 to bring about this change.
Who is the OBA?
- We are you.
Our members come from different social and economic backgrounds, as well as different races, ages and political affiliations.
Like many other Bermudians, a large number of us supported the PLP in 1998, but now we believe it's time to give someone else a chance.
Today there are two governments: The government that shows up around election time and the other government that does anything it pleases the rest of the time.
We joined the OBA because we recognize that if we follow the old ways we will get more of the same. Bermuda cannot afford 5 more years of skyrocketing debt and failed economic policies.
What will you do?
- We will bring reform to Government & results to Bermudians.
The One Bermuda Alliance has new ideas and solutions to restore confidence, grow the economy, create jobs and lower the debt; reduce gang violence and truly reform education for our children. We will get Bermuda moving forward to a safer, more secure environment for you and your loved ones.
How are you different from the current Government?
- The PLP Government appears mainly concerned about holding on to power. We're focused on helping people, on moving them up
When the Government looks at Bermuda, it does so in terms of political calculation. When we look at Bermuda, we do so in terms of how people are doing. Do they have jobs? Are their children getting the education they need? Are their neighbourhoods getting safer? Is their quality of life getting better? Is Bermuda working for them? We think in terms of what matters to people.
Why do you have so many young candidates?
- Bermuda needs to prepare the next generation of leadership
This Government has saddled the next generation with more than $1.4 billion in debt, with no end in sight. This is debt that they and their children will have to pay back. So we are encouraging younger Bermudians to join us in changing their future. And we are proud that so many are answering that call.
What makes the OBA ready to lead the island?
- A combination of fresh faces & proven experience.
In putting forward a diverse mix of people, talent, age and experience, the OBA is best positioned to put the interests of all Bermudians first.
Why vote OBA?
- For change that serves you and your family.
This is the right time to end the monopolization of Bermuda's politics. In nearly half a century we've had only one change in Government. It's time to reset the dial and provide choice, balance and change. This is the right time to use your vote to say you insist on better results from your government. This is the right time to use your vote to hold your government to account, to say the public interest, not self-interest, must come first. Unless you vote for change, you will get more of the same.
I've been PLP all my life. Why switch?
This Government has lost touch with the people who put them in power.
Whenever a Government takes a group of voters' support for granted, those voters have a right to turn to another party for solutions. It's the foundation of democracy as well as responsive and responsible Government.
That goes for the current Government and an OBA Government. Your government needs to be focused on public service not personal gain.

This Patent Application is a continuation in part of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/179,541 filed on Feb. 1, 2000.
1. The Field of the Invention
This invention relates to semiconductor processing technology and, more particularly, to novel systems and methods for heating fluids and making heaters carrying ultra-pure fluids for processing operations.
2. The Background Art
The semiconductor manufacturing industry relies on numerous processes. Many of these processes require transportation and heating of de-ionized (DI) water, acids and other chemicals. By clean or ultra-pure is meant that gases or liquids cannot leach into, enter, or leave a conduit system to produce contaminants above permissible levels. Whereas other industries may require purities on the order of parts-per-million, the semiconductor industry may require purities on the order of parts-per-trillion.
Chemically clean environments maintained for handling pure de-ionized (DI) water, acids, chemicals, and the like, must be maintained free from contamination. Contamination in a process fluid may destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars in value by introducing contaminants into a process during a single batch. Several difficulties exist in current systems for heating, pumping, and carrying process fluids (e.g., acids, DI water, etc.). Leakage into or out of a liquid must be eliminated. Moreover, leaching and chemical reaction between any contained fluid and the carrying conduits must be eliminated.
Elevated temperatures in semiconductor processing are often over 100� C., and often sustainable over 120� C. In certain instances, temperatures as high as 180� C. may be approached. It is preferred that all heating and carrying of process fluids include virtually no possibility of contact with any metals regardless of the ostensibly non-reactive natures of such metals, regardless of a catastrophic failure of any element of a heating, transfer, or conduit system.
Conventional immersion heaters place a heating element, typically sheathed in a coating, directly into the process fluid. The heating element and process fluid are then contained within a conduit. Temperature transients in immersion heaters may overheat a sheath up to a melting (failure) point. A failure of a sheath may directly result in metallic or other contamination of the process fluid. Meanwhile, temperature transients in radiant heaters may fracture a rigid conduit.
A heating alternative is needed that does not have the risks associated with conventional radiant and immersion-heating elements. A system is needed that is both durable and responsive for heating process fluids. Failure that may result in fluid contamination is an unacceptable risk.
In view of the foregoing, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a heater for handling process fluids at elevated temperatures in the range of 0� C. to 180� C. It is an object of the invention to provide a heater having electrical resistance in close proximity to a process fluid for heating by conduction and convection without exposing process fluids to a prospect of contamination, even if electrical failures or melting of conductive paths should occur within a heater.
Consistent with the foregoing objects, and in accordance with the invention as embodied and broadly described herein, a method and apparatus are disclosed in one embodiment of the present invention as including a heater comprising one or more tubes of quartz. Tubes may be abutted end-to-end with an adaptor (e.g. fluorocarbon fitting) fitted to transition between two tubes in a series. One pass or passage, comprising one or more tubes of quartz in a series, may be fitted on each end to a manifold (e.g. header/footer) comprised of a fluorocarbon material properly sealed for passing liquid into and out of the individual passage.
Individual tubes or conduits may improve the temperature distribution therein by altering the internal boundary layer of heated fluids passing therethrough. In one embodiment, a baffle tube, within the outer tube, may have a plug serving to center the baffle in the heating tube. The plug may restrict flow, such that the fluid inside the baffle does not change dramatically. Thus an annular flow between the baffle tube and the outer heating tube may maintain a high Reynolds number in the flow, enhancing the Nusselt number, heat transfer coefficient and so forth. Moreover, the temperature distribution may be rendered nearer to a constant value across the annulus, rather than running with a cold, laminar core.
In one embodiment, a heater may be manufactured by electroless nickel plating on a roughened (textured) surface. A resistive, conductive layer may extend along most of the length of a rigid (e.g., quartz) tube. The resistive coating may be configured to connect in series or to multi-phase power along the length of a single tube. Accordingly, a quartz tube may be roughened, etched, dipped, coated, and protectively coated. The quartz tube need not be heated to sinter the conductive layer, which may be plated as a continuous ribbon of well-adhered, resistive, conducting, metallic material.
The electrical length of the heated portion may be adjusted by application of an end coating for distributing current around a conduit tube. Conductive material and mechanical fasteners may be added to provide electrical connections between the end coating and power delivery lines. For example, braided cables or straps may be clamped around a soft, conductive interface material surrounding each end of a plated section of a conduit. Mechanical clamps may maintain normal forces against the surface, while accommodating expansion with temperature, without harming mechanical bonds between the conductive/resistive coating and the conduit (substrate).
The foregoing and other objects and features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are, therefore, not to be considered limiting of its scope, the invention will be described with additional specificity and detail through use of the accompanying drawings in which:

It will be readily understood that the components of the present invention, as generally described and illustrated in the Figures herein, could be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following more detailed description of the embodiments of the system and method of the present invention, as represented in the Figures, is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, as claimed, but is merely representative of the presently preferred embodiments of the invention.
The presently preferred embodiments of the invention will be best understood by reference to the drawings, wherein like parts are designated by like numerals throughout. Those of ordinary skill in the art will, of course, appreciate that various modifications to the detailed schematic diagram may easily be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the invention, as described in connection with the Figures. Thus, the following description of the Figures is intended only by way of example, and simply illustrates certain presently preferred embodiments consistent with the invention as claimed herein.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an apparatus 10 may be created for heating or otherwise handling process fluids such as those used in the semiconductor industry. The semiconductor-processing industry requires ultra-pure, de-ionized (DI) water, acids, and the like. A conduit 12 may be formed of a comparatively rigid material such as quartz.
Fused quartz has been found to resist distortion with temperature and time, providing dimensional stability and repeatable structural properties. Meanwhile, quartz has been found to be sufficiently non-reactive with processing fluids to maintain better than parts-per-billion (or even trillion) purity requirements in acids and water, such as de-ionized water.
Fittings 14, 16 may support the conduit 12 and apply force 18 from a pressure plate 32, loader (e.g., spring) 34, baseplate 36 and adjuster 38 to support a suitable seal 20. An inlet 22 and outlet 24 may convey fluid along the length 45 of the apparatus 10 from a manifold 46. A plurality of the individual apparatus 10 may be assembled as a heater 47 in a cabinet 48 or outer frame 48 enclosing an outer envelope 49.
The heater 47 does not expose metals to the process fluid inside the conduits 12. In one presently preferred embodiment, a resistive coating on the conduit 12 heats the conduit 12. The heat passes through the wall of the conduit 12 into the process fluid therein.
Referring to FIG. 3, a conduit 12 may be formed of a crystalline material such as fused quartz. In general, a conduit 12 may be of any suitable shape. For example, a flat plate may be fitted, as a window, or the like, against a structure suitable for sealing the window. A coating may be applied to such a substrate. Accordingly, the term conduit 12, may include any substrate, of any shape, suitable for receiving a coating for generating electrical resistance heating.
The conduit 12 may define an axial direction 50 a and radial directions 50 b. A wall 52 of the conduit 12 may extend in an axial direction 50 a and circumferentially 50 c. The wall 52 may define, or be defined by, an outer surface 54 and an inner surface 56.
In selected embodiments, an outer surface 54 may be treated, such as by mechanical etching to provide a portion of roughened surface 58. The textured surface 58 may be prepared by a mechanical abrasive action, such as grit blasting, bead blasting, or sandblasting. Accordingly, in a crystalline material, such as quartz, small crystalline chunks may remove from the surface 54, leaving small, angular, crystalline inclusions in the surface 54.
What is true for the outer surface 54, may be true for the inner surface 56 in alternative embodiments. For example, due to the processes by which a surface 54 may be coated with a resistive, conducting coating 60, the wall 52 may be treated to provide a textured surface 58, at the outer surface 54, or the inner surface 56. Since fluids (typically liquids) are transferred between devices, through heaters 10, and so forth, one practical embodiment contains a fluid flow 78 within a conduit 12, exposed to a non-reactive, ultra-pure, inner surface 56.
The coating 60 may typically be a substantially continuous film 60 extending axially 50 a and circumferentially 50 c about the surface 54. An end coating 62, applied over the basic coating 60, may be formed of the same material, or a different one. Since a major consideration in construction of the heater 10 is the mechanical integrity of the attachment of the coating 60 to the textured surface 58, the end coating 62 may be of any suitable material. In certain embodiments, the end coating 62 may be applied by a method very different from that of the coating 60. In alternative embodiments, the end coating 62 may simply be additional material, identical to the coating 60. The end coating 62 may decrease the resistance of the coating 60 by providing increased cross-sectional area along a portion of the length. Thus, the end coating 62 effectively shortens the resistive coating 60.
The end coating 62 provides less resistance along a circumferential direction 50 c than does the resistive coating 60 in an axial direction 50 a or a circumferential direction 50 c. That is, the end coating 62 may include more material per unit of area in order to distribute electricity from a connector lug 64 in an axial 50 a and a circumferential direction 50 c. Thus, the end coating 62 becomes a distributor or a manifold for electricity provided to a lug 64 or connector 64 suitable for receiving a wire delivering current to the resistive coating 60.
A protective coating 66 of some suitable, conformal material may reduce scratching, wear, and chemical reaction of the resistive coating 60. The surfaces 54,56 are not necessary uniform from end 68 to end 70 of the conduit 12. A distance 72 or smooth surface 54 may remain in order to support sealing of the ends 68, 70 as described herein. Smooth, fired, quartz formed in a lip 30 provides distinct advantages.
A distance 74 from each end 68,70, a lug 64 or band 64 may serve as a base for connections 65 to power inputs. A distance 75 from each end 68,70, an end coating 62 of conductive material may feed electricity into the resistive coating 60.
Electricity travels between the bands 64 and end coatings 62 along a resistance length 76. Power dissipation for heating requires current and a resistance. The coating 60 is both resistive and conductive along the length 76 in order to carry sufficient current to provide the electrical power (wattage) required. Accordingly, the coating 60 is sized in thickness and length to provide the proper combination of conductivity and resistance along the length 76.
The coating 60 is designed and applied within parameters engineered to balance several factors. For example, if the textured surface 58 is too rough, the conduit 12 may fail under test pressures and burst. If not sufficiently rough, the textured surface 58 may provide inadequate adhesion forces between the resistive coating 60 and the outer surface 54 of the conduit 12.
Likewise, the resistive coating 60 requires uniformity and conductive, cross-sectional area along the length 76 in an axial direction 50 a. However, too much of the coating 60, may provide so much strength within the coating 60, that the resistive material 60 separates mechanically from the textured surface 58, due to a superior bond to itself during thermal expansion at elevated temperatures.
Ceramics and many materials, such as quartz, provide comparatively little or no expansion with increased temperature. By contrast, most metals provide substantial expansion with increased temperature. Accordingly, at elevated temperatures, the coating 60 tends to expand and separate as a continuous annulus surrounding the conduit 12.
At a microscopic level, the coating 60 tends to shear away from the microscopic inclusions developed in the textured surface 58. Thus, a balance in application of the coating 60 is required to balance the forces due to the coefficient of thermal expansion with the mechanical bond between the coating 60 and the inclusions in the textured surface 58.
The effective resistance of the coating 60 changes as the coating 60 is heat treated. Heat treatment does not melt the deposited coating 60. Nevertheless, metallurgical grain boundaries form, grow, and affect electrical conductivity in the coating 60. If the effective resistance is too high, yet in the range of the design point, the heater 10 does not provide sufficient energy input through the wall 52 into a fluid flow 78. If the resistance is too low, but close to the design point, the heater 10 provides too much output, and may be outside the desired range of control. In some apparatus, too high a heating rate can damage equipment, including fracturing solids due to differential expansion.
The end coating 62 or band 62 if applied too thickly may overcome the adhesion or other bonding between the end coating 62 and the resistive coating 60. Alternatively, the end coating 62 may maintain a sufficient bond with the coating 60, but separate the coating 60 from the textured surface 58 if either 60, 62, or their combination is too thick and mechanically rigid. Similarly, as with the resistive coating 60, applying the end coating 62 too thinly, tends to reduce the average number of atoms at any site, yielding poor uniformity, and inadequate process control for reliable currant conduction.
Too high a resistance in the end coating 62 may generate too much heat. Excessive heat may destroy the connection between the end coating 62 and the base resistive coating 60, or separate both from the textured surface 58. The types of difficulty that may arise with excessive heat generation may result from too high a resistance in the end coating 62.
A lug 64 or connector band 64 needs to be secured with the same considerations required for the coatings 60, 62, too much material may provide too high strength. Too little material may raise local heating issues as a result of inadequate conductivity. Materials may be selected to provide flexibility or malleability.
Referring to FIG. 4, a wall 52 may be thought of as a substrate 80. Thus, a substrate 80 may generalize a conduit 12 into any particular shape, open, closed, and so forth. As discussed, a thickness 82 of a substrate 80 provides mechanical integrity in a conduit 12. That is, a thickness 82 of a wall 52 provides mechanical strength. However, the conduits 12 must typically sustain some pressure load. Accordingly, excessive thickness 82 may actually cause a stress distribution between the inner surface 56 and the outer surface 54. Another concern with the thickness 82 is the effect of the inclusions in the textured surface 58. The thickness 82 may benefit from being sufficiently large that the inclusions of the textured surface 58 lack sufficient influence to propagate cracks therethrough.
The thickness 73 of the resistive coaxing 60 is precisely controlled. The thickness 73 may be on the order of numbers of atoms in dimension up to some few millionths of an inch. At a microscopic level, the thickness 73 may be of an order of magnitude the same as that of the size of inclusions in the textured surface 58, or less. Accordingly, the coating 60 may appear like a crepe material. This crepe may be a thin, crinkly film following the peaks and valleys of the textured surface 58.
Thermal expansion with a rise in temperature maybe easily accommodated by localized bending of portions of the coating 60. However, if the thickness 73 becomes too great, the coating 60 behaves as abeam extending in the circumferential direction 50 c and the axial direction 50 a. Accordingly, the beam may change diameter, applying comparatively large radial forces withdrawing the small irregularities from their places filling the inclusions in the textured surface 58.
Excellent thermal contact between the coating 60 and the conduit 12 requires superior adhesion by balancing the thickness 73. The value of the thickness 73 may be successfully selected to provide mechanical compliance with the textured surface 58 while providing uniformity. Thus, material selection and selection of the thickness 73 along with selection of the size of the conduit 12 can be used to control the heat input at a desired level for a fluid flow 78 while maintaining mechanical integrity and thermal conductivity.
The thickness 77 of the end coating 62 is selected according to similar parameters, as discussed above. Although a solder 78 may be selected from a softer material than the coating 60, as may the end coating 62, mechanical mass eventually provides compressive strength. Accordingly, expansion of the band 64 or end coating 62 with an increase in temperature may cause the separation of metals from the inclusions by which capture is maintained. Selecting materials that are comparatively malleable and thin, while having comparatively higher electrical conductivity than the coating 60, can produce suitable mechanical and electrical integrity
The roughness height 90 is detectable by its effect on light. Visual inspection serves very well, since the roughness height 90 dramatically affects the sheen of the outer surface 54, even with comparatively slight roughness heights 90. Thus, the adequacy of the roughness height 90 may be reasonably well detected from a visual inspection.
Excessive roughness height 90 may result from removing too much of the wall 52 from the textured surface 58. A grit size (e.g., bead size), and a time for application of uniform grit blasting may provide a suitable roughness height 90. The roughness height 90 should accommodate mechanical lodgment of metal atoms within inclusions in the surface. Thus, micro-mechanical anchors grip the thin coating 60 against the outer surface 54.
The roughness height 90 is significant, not for its size alone, which need only accommodate a few atoms of metal, but in the crystalline sharpness and angularity of the inclusions. Because the spalling of material from the outer surface under the influence of grit, bead, or sand blasting will tend to break along crystal boundaries, a fully randomized set of inclusions, including concavities overhung by sharp crystalline corners, may securely capture pockets of metallic atoms of the coating 60.
Likewise, the resistive path of the coating 60 maybe affected by the roughness height 90 compared to the thickness 73. For example, a smooth outer surface 54 tends to provide a rather direct path. A textured surface 58, provides a circuitous path overbills and valleys. Thus, providing too great a thickness 73 may also decrease resistivity reducing the heating wattage below a designed value.
Referring to FIG. 5, one embodiment of a method for manufacturing the heaters 10 may include providing 102 the conduit 12 or other substrate 80, followed by suitable masking 104 and texturizing 106. Texturizing 106 may include bead blasting, sand blasting, grit blasting, or etching by other means. The texturizing 106 is important for providing mechanical grip, as discussed above. Nevertheless, texturizing 106 should not compromise the mechanical integrity of the conduit 12 under operational pressures. Thus the toughness height 90 is balanced in tat it does not create inclusions that will compromise the mechanical integrity of the conduit 12.
Likewise, the wall thickness 82 is selected to balance heat transfer demands for energy transfer per unit area, against surface temperatures and thermal gradients. Thermal gradients are considered in view of the thickness 82 and thermal stresses created.
A thin film 60 is applied in a plating process 108. In one embodiment electroless nickel plating has been found effective. The plating process is continued for a time selected to provide a thickness 73 that balances current-carrying capacity of the film, mechanical stiffness and strength limits required to maintain adhesion, and coating uniformity (related to both other factors).
By balance is meant adequacy and uniformity of performance, either mechanically, thermally, electrically, or a combination thereof. If the coating 60 on a conduit 12 or other substrate 80 is adequate, it may be heat treated 110.
In one embodiment, the heat-treating process 110 involves a metallurgical heat treatment 110. Such a process 110 does not elevate temperatures sufficiently to melt the metallic coating 60. Rather, temperatures are sufficiently high during the process 110 to raise the energy level of various atoms within the composition of the coating 60, encouraging migration of interstitial materials. Migration of interstitial materials fosters growth of various grain boundaries. Growth of grain boundaries affects the binding of electrons into orbitals of various atomic or molecular structures. Thus, the heat-treating process 110 may substantially affect electrical conductivity. Accordingly, the time and temperature of the heat treatment process 110 provide a certain element of control over the effective electrical resistivity of the coating 60.
Heat treating 110 may include a surface treatment. In one embodiment, application 111 or deposition 111 (e.g., vapor deposition) of a surface-protecting layer may include adding a composition (e.g., a silicate, in one embodiment) to the heat-treatment environment (e.g., oven). The application process 111 may include masking portions of the coating 60 that will later be coated with additional conductive materials. The protective process 111 provides a non-reactive coating or passivating coating to reduce oxidation of the resistive coating 60 during heat treating 110.
Following the heat-treating process 110, and if resistance is satisfactory in the coating 60, a termination process 112 provides end coatings 62, and so forth. The termination process 112 may include, among other steps, application 114 of a termination coating 62 or end coating 62 to reduce the resistance that would be available in the coating 60. Resistance is typically lowered by half an order of magnitude. The thickness 77 of the end coating 62 must be balanced to provide good current distribution, while not compromising the mechanical integrity of the bond between the conductive-resistive materials and the conduit 12 or substrate 80.
The termination process 112 may involve application 114 of a end coating 62 having a specific length 75 calculated to provide a precise power delivery in the heater 10. Similarly, a soft, compliant, conductive material 63 may be added 116 over a portion of the end coating for receiving a connector 64. The connector 64 may be a suitable braided conductor 64, applied 118, and then mechanically clamped 120 by a clamping mechanism 67.
Chemical bonds have been found unsatisfactory in many instances, as they add mechanical thickness and stiffness of materials. Thus, the compliant material 63, yielding under the load of a braided conductor 64, at the urging of a clamping mechanism 67, provides sufficient compliance that strength and stiffness of the film 60 are not significantly affected. Therefore, mechanical bonding of the coating 60 to the conduit 12 (e.g. substrate 80) is not compromised. A protective, conformal coating 66 maybe applied 122 following, or as part of, the termination process 112.
The plating process 108 may be one of several types, including vapor deposition, sputtering, painting, sintering, powder coating, and electroless plating. In electroless plating, such as electroless nickel plating, application 109 of a surfactant may greatly improve the quality of the coating 60. Application 109 of a surfactant may actually involve a surfactant scrub 109 in which vigorous application of force breaks down any pockets of gas that might adhere to concavities in the textured surface 58. Thereafter, the coating 60 may form, maintaining a continuous mechanical structure about the inclusions of the textured surface 58.
As a texturing method, bead blasting has provided considerable uniformity in the fracture mechanics of forming inclusions. Also, pressure tests show that mechanical integrity may be maintained thereby.
Referring to FIG. 6, a graph 130 having a time axis 132 and resistance axis 134 illustrates various data points 136 from tests. The values 136 characterize the effect of time, during plating, on the initial resistance 134 of the coating 60. The scales are logarithmic. Thus, the process results in resistance being dependent upon a power of time. However, the relationship does not appear to change dramatically at any point on the graph 130.
Referring to FIG. 7, a chart 140 of a resistance in a range 204 corresponds to a value of heat-treat temperature in a domain 144 of temperatures for the coating 60. The values 148 reflect the adjustment of resistance in ohm-inches per inch, due to a particular temperature during heat treating of the coating 60. The resistance of the coating 60 may vary due to variations in controlled parameters, such as the time and temperature associated with heat treatment. Parametric controls may vary during the plating process, and the heat-treating process 110. Thus, FIG. 7 reflects an ability to adjust the effective resistance of the apparatus 10 according to the heat-treat temperature.
Referring to FIG. 8, a graph 150 shows both a percentage 152 of available surface area heated by the coating 60 and a watt density 154 as a function of resistance per square 156. The graph 150 shows the correction ability for any given resistivity resulting from the heat-treat process 110. That is, given a particular value of the cured resistance 156, a final percentage 152 of area to be heated (powered) may be determined. Thus, the exact locations of the end coatings may be designed to obtain the desired heated area. Similarly, for a particular cured resistance 156, a watt density 154 may be determined. These results are typical of the influence that the end termination process 112 can have on correcting the overall value of resistance of the coating 60 in an apparatus 10.
From the above discussion, it will be appreciated that the present invention provides apparatus and methods for heating ultra pure fluids in a hyper-clean environment. Power densities are very high, while heater reliability is superior. Meanwhile, manufacturing adjustments are available to produce high yields of highly predictable product.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative, and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims, rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

Caught 3 squirrels in 2-days
By Jon on 04/16/2012
Verified Purchase
I am usually a sceptical individual as I was when I purchased this squirrel trap. All I did was put some peanut butter on the bars of the cage at the opening, middle and after the trap step. In 2-hours I had 2 squirrels and the next day another one. The trap is so easy to use and set up. I took the squirrels out to the forest and released them with the easy release door. What a great, works as advertised product. Shipping was fast too.

We set this trap outside on the front porch. We put some bread with lots of peanut butter on it like the suggested and within maybe a few hours had our squirrel!! We just love this trap and happy to have spent the money! We relocated her at a park that has lots of trees and she can't get herself into trouble.

Deluxe Live Trap for Squirrels
By Dick on 09/14/2012
Verified Purchase
The trap mechanically works very well. However the 1 inch square holes in the wire are too large. ie: First the squirrels tipped it over and ate the peanuts that fell through. After I staked it down they were able to reach through the wire and pull the peanuts close enough to the side to get them out. I solved the problem by cutting three pieces of clear plixiglass the same size as the trap (about half as long as the trap on the sides) cut tiny holes in the plexiglass and wired them to the two sides and the back. Worked perfectly. I have since relocated 11 squirrels

By Christine on 06/03/2014

We are most pleased with this trap, still using it today. We hauled off 3 squirrels today alone. We dont remember how many we relocated since the first day, over 20... it worked realy well with a slice of bread with peanut butter and bird seed, taking off slow at first, but it worked better as it went.

Tomahawk Live Trap (Squirrel)
By Andi on 08/24/2014
Verified Purchase
I live in New York City and have two pear trees in my back yard. For several seasons I had no harvest as the squirrels continually ate the fruit. I tried other brands of traps but they proved ineffective -- often the animal would enter - eat the bait - and exit without springing the trap. With the Tomahawk trap it was a hit every time. Twenty-three squirrels in 23 days - one raccoon - and three (believe it or not) sparrows. FYI: I use peanut butter as bait Just a small dab -- also remember to relocate the squirrel at least five miles from the site of capture - If you do not, he will return -- I found that out the hard way.

Great Squirrel Trap
By Brenda on 02/25/2016
This trap is awesome! We had been trying to catch squirrels for months with a trap that we purchased from Tractor Supply with no luck at all. After only one day with this trap we caught a squirrel. This is very important to us since we have Mountain Feist and need to catch squirrels often to train these hunting dogs. This trap is very well built and the release door on the back of the trap allows us to release the squirrel with ease. The trap is very "hair triggered" which is very important when trapping such a small animal. We highly recommend this to anyone.

great trap
By Rich on 10/29/2016
this trap works awesome!! I caught two squirrels in the first three days. Who says you can't catch a squirrel in an attic with a cage? This product proves them wrong! Easy to catch, easy to release. Thank you so much for a humane way to deal with unwanted pest.

Welcome to Our Home.
Going to other people's houses can be scary.
And I'm not just talking about when you're little and not used to spending time away from home. In fact, playdates and sleepovers are some of the best parts about being a kid, right? It's only when you come face to face with someone else's rules, norms, and interior design tastes that the nightmares really begin.
The home is a very private place, and in many cultures, it's not at all typical to invite strangers or even friends to your house. Is your family more shy and reserved, or are you the ones always throwing family parties and hosting barbecues? Do you have an open door policy, or will you not let anyone in?
Take a second to think about all the strangers you let into your home from time to time. Painters, movers, plumbers, realtors, babysitters, family, friends, salespeople—the list goes on. How many of them do you trust? Or should they be the ones worried about trusting you?
Many people's professions require them to go into the homes of strangers, and you can only imagine the types of things they've seen. Redditors who go into people's houses for a living—from pizza boys to physical therapists—were asked to share the strangest things they've ever seen, and these stories will make you scared the next time your neighbor invites you over.
Stranger danger to the extreme…

Delaware amends its LLC act: managers and controllers owe fiduciary duties unless LLC agreement provides otherwise - .PDF file.
By Bruce E Falby and John L Reed
Effective 1 August, 2013, the Delaware General Assembly has amended Section 18-1104 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act to provide that, unless the limited liability company agreement says otherwise, the managers and controlling members of a limited liability company owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to the limited liability company and its members.
The amendment was prompted by the Delaware Supreme Court's decision last November in Gatz Properties, LLC v Auriga Capital Corp, which disregarded as 'improvident and unnecessary' dictum the Chancery Court's ruling below that 'the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act imposes "default" fiduciary duties upon LLC managers and controllers unless the parties to the LLC Agreement contract that such duties shall not apply.'
The Delaware Supreme Court in Auriga 'decline[d] to express any view regarding whether default fiduciary duties apply as a matter of statutory construction' and 'suggest[ed] that the "organs of the Bar" (to use the trial court's phrase) may be well advised to consider urging the General Assembly to resolve any statutory ambiguity on this issue.'…

Urinal Cakes and Urinal Screens
One way to keep your restrooms smelling clean and less messy is using a urinal cake and urinal screen. Urinal screens reduce splash back, odors, and potential clogging. Urinal cakes are designed to release pleasant deodorizers when being used, so your bathrooms smell great. They instantly eliminate unpleasant odors at their source, and come in a variety of scents. Urinal screens will help you save hundreds of dollars on maintenance every year. They provide a safe, sanitary way of dealing with urine splash or dripping problems around urinals. Acme Wholesale Supply and Continental Commercial are just a couple of the top brands and manufacturers that we work with to bring you the very best restroom supplies, including urinal cakes and screens.
The urinal screens we offer here at Foodservice Superstore come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. They are all plastic pieces that reduce splashing and keep floors clean, and many of them have urinal cake holders that allow both to work together to keep things clean. We have contoured screens that are a perfect fit for most urinals. They are made of super flexible vinyl plastic so they will last a very long time and molds to any shape urinal. Increased ventilation reduces potential splash back and the flexible screen traps more debris to prevent costly drain clogs.

Port of Vancouver (Wash.) approves oil terminal over protests
The commission that leads the Port of Vancouver has OK'd a lease for an oil terminal that sparked strong opposition from environmental groups.
The Port of Vancouver's commission backed leasing space for the Tesoro Corp.'s terminal, which would help users ship oil by train. The terminal is backed by Tesoro Corp. and Savage Companies.
The companies said the effort would create as many as 330 jobs, including 80 permanent positions, in the Vancouver, Wash., area. But opponents such as Columbia Riverkeeper pointed to such risks as the July 6 oil train derailment in Quebec that killed 50 people.
Developer Barry Cain also told commissioners Monday fears of an oil train explosion could threaten his ability to finance and insure a mixed-use renewal project he wants to build along Vancouver's waterfront.
The facility could handle nearly 400,000 barrels of oil per day from trains to ships at the Columbia Riverfront port. It would cost between $75 million and $100 million. The facility is expected to open in 2014.
Savage will oversee and manage the design, construction and operation of the facility, which will exist on three parcels. Tesoro and Savage also partnered on a rail unloading facility at Tesoro's Anacortes, Wash., refinery.
Among the opponents: Climate activist Bill McKibben, the 350.org group founder who appeared in Clark County to blast the project last week. McKibben toured the proposed site in a boat.

Spring 2012 Trend: Florals, Whimsy, Ethnic and Gemoetry
If you thought it was time to do away with your floral fansies and corageous colors, think again, because this spring is about flower power and amped up color blocking. Bold floral prints and brash geometric blocks are the thing this season. Our ever present Out of Africa look is also in, with bold prints, a mixture of light and heavy textures and designs and striking color combinations. Also, for the vintage lover in you, a whimsy 20s inspired elegance that will make you feel light and free as spring ushers in cool breezes and beautiful sunny days. I've put together some pretty, fun and flirty combos that will challenge you to break out of the box as well as get on board with this season's trends. The key this year is to play with color and textures. Remember, there are no cement rules when it comes to fashion, its ever changing. Don't be afraid to try something that you wouldn't give a second glance at. Just as fashion changes, your outlook on your own personal style should as well. Take these ideas and make them work with your own personal style, I promise that whether you realize it or not, your twist on this season's fashions, could be what inspires others around you to take the same challenge.
