Exelis Aerostructures: Salt Lake City
Braided composite shafts and struts for aircraft are its specialty, but there's much more to this Utah, US-based rising star.
#lockheedmartin #ndi #northropgrumman
A composites manufacturer that supplies parts to the aerospace industry must have, at the least, basic competencies in prepreg-based fabrication processes, including hand layup, automated fiber placement (AFP), automated tape laying (ATL) and autoclave-based cure. A number of composites industry players meet this requirement. But given the great diversity of fiber types and fiber reinforcement forms, resin systems, tooling types and materials and processing technologies available today, and several decades of composites development and application in aircraft of all types, almost every composites supplier of significant size and impact has developed a specialty — an area of expertise that has fueled and sustained the company's growth.
Such is the case with Exelis Aerostructures. Based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, the company easily qualifies on the basics. AS9100C-, ISO14001-, Nadcap-, and Boeing Composite-certified, Exelis excels not only in the autoclaved prepreg arena, but has well-developed expertise in filament winding, resin transfer molding (RTM) and vacuum-assisted RTM (VARTM) as well. That said, Exelis is a standout in the aerospace composites supply chain, today, in large part due to its rich history in carbon fiber braiding, which has helped set this fabricator apart from its competitors.

Same game, new name, growing fame
Although the company's Salt Lake City operations were established decades ago, the Exelis name itself is relatively new, introduced in 2011 when Exelis' parent, ITT Corp. (White Plains, NY, US), split itself into three independent companies focused on defense and electronics, fluid technology, and motion-and-flow control. Exelis, with 10,000 employees and US$4.8 billion in revenue, represents the defense-and-electronics segment and is based in McLean, VA, US. The Exelis Aerostructures business operates two Utah facilities, managed by VP/GM Mike Blair.
Although the business is established and sizable, it's neither hide-bound nor immobile. Blair is leading Exelis through an aggressive capacity-and-capabilities expansion, featuring forays into a variety of aerospace applications. Examples abound: Composite floor-beam struts for the Airbus (Toulouse, France) A380, the vertical tail and sponsons for the Sikorsky (Stratford, CT, US) CH-53K helicopter, the upper access covers, blade seal components and outboard wingskins for Lockheed Martin's (Ft. Worth, TX, US) F-35 Lightning II, Section 41 and 43 fuselage frames for The Boeing Co.'s (Chicago, IL. US) 787-9 airliner, and the upper shell and other parts for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control's (Orlando, FL, US) Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM).
Exelis' business development director Jeff Sunderland, however, says the company's expansion, although aggressive, is proceeding methodically and carefully. Enthusiasm is tempered by wisdom won over the long haul. "We are trying to be parochial about going to market," he says. "We want to win work, run it flawlessly and then pursue other opportunities. We don't want to bite off more than we can chew — one failure can lead to years of bad reputation."
When CW was invited to tour both of the facilities Exelis operates in Salt Lake City in an industrial park due east of the SLC airport, Blair was our guide through the company's original plant on Billy Mitchell Rd., built in 1969, and just a few blocks away, the company's new Composite Design & Manufacturing Center (CDMC) on Amelia Earhart Dr.
Established core, exceptional commitment
The 13,935m2 Billy Mitchell Rd. plant is home to many of the legacy technologies with which Exelis has won work and built its business. The bulk of the building's space is consumed by Exelis' braiding operation. Exelis runs 18 braiding machines, some developed in-house. They range in operational complexity from 16 to 288 tows. Manufactured by Herzog Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG (Oldenburg, Germany), the 288-tow braider, also called Stargate, is characterized by Blair as a "solution seeking an application." All of the braided products are processed via RTM or VARTM, with curing done in one of five Grieve Corp. (Round Lake, IL, US) ovens located in the braider room.
Exelis braids preforms in a variety of sizes — the largest for the fuselage of the JASSM, and the most complex, the variable bleed valves (VBV) for GE Aviation's (Evendale, OH, US) GEnx engine. This carbon fiber/BMI part, also RTM'd, comprises several preforms and features a variety of difficult-to-mold angles and spaces. Exelis makes 11 different VBVs per engine and eventually will produce 12 shipsets per month at full rate production.
Blair notes that, despite its long history in composites manufacturing, braiding is not usually performed by fabricators. However, braiding is clearly an expertise that Exelis has cultivated carefully and invested in heavily. "Not many companies do their own braiding," Blair points out, but explains, "It gives us more flexibility and makes us more lean."
No matter where the Exelis empire expands, it's clear that the company's core strengths are braiding and the products that result. But lessons learned as Exelis developed its braiding expertise are now applied to a variety of processes, including those used to produce its latest product line — struts, tubes and rods (STaR). "We're basically going after galactic domination in struts and rods," Blair quips.
From the braiding room, Blair moved us on to Exelis' filament winding operation, where the process is used primarily to manufacture potable-water and wastewater storage tanks for aircraft. Here, Exelis operates several winders manufactured by Salt Lake City-based Entec Composite Machines Inc. and one system from Magnum Venus Products(MVP, Knoxville, TN, US). The tanks, which are about 1m long and 0.25m diameter, are wet wound with carbon fiber/epoxy and are outfitted with a variety of fixtures and attachments, all of which Exelis assembles in house. The wastewater tanks feature stainless steel liners; the potable-water tanks have blowmolded plastic liners. The company manufactures about 700 tanks per year, primarily for Boeing's 737, 747, 757, 767 and 777 aircraft. In addition, Exelis is a certified FAA repair station for the tanks.
CDMC: Seeding the future
If the Exelis Billy Mitchell Rd. facility represents the company's legacy processes and applications, then the CDMC site on Amelia Earhart Dr. represents its potential. This new (2012) 22,760m2 purpose-built plant houses the equipment and facilities necessary to meet all of the contemporary requirements of aerospace composites manufacturing — high-precision fiber and tape placement, cleanroom layup, large-format autoclave cure, precision machining, nondestructive inspection (NDI) and assembly. Most of all, the facility features space, and plenty of it, to accommodate fabrication of very large parts. And within that spacious environment, says Blair, Exelis has the room to invest in new equipment and develop the additional expertise that the aerospace industry might demand. "You have to build it and they will come," Blair asserts. "If you want to do automated fiber placement, you need to invest — invest in capability, machines and people."
At the heart of this investment are two large machines. The first is a dual-station Fives Cincinnati (Hebron, KY, US) VIPER AFP machine, capable of laying down up to 32 tows of 3.2-mm carbon fiber. At the time of CW's visit, Exelis was using this machine to demonstrate the capability to mold the upper wingskin of the F-35 Lightning II. Exelis hopes that it will win work fabricating this structure. The second machine is a Fives dual-station, gantry-style automated contour tape layer, with an 18.3 by 4.9 by 1.2m build envelope and the capacity to place 76-, 152- or 305-mm wide tape (see photo at left). This machine is being used to demonstrate Exelis' flat-panel manufacturing capability for a number of aircraft components, including horizontal and vertical tail structures.
People-powered production
Adjacent to the fiber- and tape-placement space is Exelis' 1,850m2 cleanroom, where technicians focus on hand layup of F-35 access covers, blade seals and wingskins, CH-53K sponsons and tails (vertical and horizontal), and S-76 helicopter rotor blades and flex beams. The room features four tool prep bays that each feed one of four production lines (cutting tables), with 12 workstations on each line. Prepreg is supplied from three freezers that line the cleanroom's back wall, and finished layups are transferred immediately to autoclaves located in an adjacent space.
The work in the cleanroom is team-based, and Exelis has given employees in this area some ownership: "The people working closest to the product are the smartest about that product," contends Darin Friess, director of engineering. For that reason, they are given a measure of authority and operate with a degree of autonomy. "They've developed their own kanban and troubleshooting," he says, adding, "They are always looking for ideas to continuously improve."
Exelis operates six autoclaves in Salt Lake City — four from ASC Process Systems(Valencia, CA, US), one from Taricco Corp. (Long Beach, CA, US) and one from American Autoclave Company (Jasper, GA, US). They range in size from 0.9 by 1.5m to 4.6 by 15.2m.
After cure, most parts are transferred to the machining shop for drilling, trimming, routing and cutting. Exelis operates eight 5-axis machining centers, including seven from Breton SpA (Castello di Godega, Italy) and one from Komo Machine Inc.(Lakewood, NJ, US), but most of the work done in this building runs on two Breton 1300 units, the facility's most flexible CNC centers. Exelis, says Friess, favors cutting tools supplied by Precorp (Spanish Fork, UT, US), but has been testing other cutters, including one from LMT Onsrud LP (Waukegan, IL, US) that has fared well.
Nondestructive inspection is done at 10 work centers, ranging from single- to 5-axis capability, using methods that include pulse echo, through-transmission, hand-scan and bond-scan.
One of the largest spaces at the CDMC facility is devoted to the assembly of a variety of structures for which the rest of the facility makes component parts. These include the vertical and horizontal tails and the sponsons for the CH-53K, for which Exelis fabricates a total of 193 different composite parts, made with prepreg supplied by Hexcel (Stamford, CT, US). Exelis has already manufactured seven shipsets of parts for Sikorsky, for the helicopter's system design and development phase. This will be followed by four more shipsets that will be used as test articles. This work, assuming positive test results, could be followed by contracts for low-rate production and, perhaps, rate production of up to two shipsets a month by 2021.
Struts and tubes: STaR power
One of the newest operations at the CDMC harkens back to the Exelis' filament winding legacy. The company has licensed technology from Bodair SA (Oupeye, Belgium) for Exelis' STaR (struts, tubes and rods) product line. Exelis plans to use Bodair's manufacturing cell, which encompasses filament winding equipment, curing technology, machining, drilling, NDI, painting, priming and bushing installation, to produce a variety of floor beam and wingbox struts, control rods and torque tubes for aircraft. Notably, STaR enables easy reconfiguration of fittings and bushings to meet customer and application requirements. "The combination of the unique manufacturing process and automation technology positions us to meet the market demands, with the ability to produce upward of 40,000 STaR parts per year," Blair adds. STaR's production flexibility and potential unit output helped Exelis land one of its largest programs to date — manufacturing the main deck floor beam struts for the Airbus A380 aircraft. Exelis makes 95 A380 struts per shipset and will manufacture 240 struts per month at rate production.
Plugging into potential ventures
Our final stop in the CDMC revealed a new Exelis venture that has nothing to do with aerospace, but demands all of the performance hallmarks of the company's other work. The product, called the Bear Claw, is a filament wound "plug" used during drilling in oil and gas production (see "Composites boon from hydraulic fracturing?" under "Editor's Picks"). Sized from 114 to 140 mm in diameter, Bear Claws measure about 0.75m in length. The plugs are assembled at Exelis up to a certain point, beyond which they can be customized easily to meet customers' different end-use requirements. Exelis currently makes 1,100-plus plugs per month and delivered more than 12,000 in 2014. "It's a high-temperature, high-pressure, pretty demanding environment," Blair says. "It's not aerospace, but it's like aerospace."
Bear Claws are a harbinger of ventures yet to come. In fact, if known growth opportunities at Exelis come to fruition as planned, the company expects to add another 13,000m2 to the CDMC in 2015.
The activities and expansion at Exelis Aerostructures' Salt Lake City location are attracting attention from not only new customers but also other OEMs within the aerostructures community, including Boeing, Northrop Grumman (Palmdale, CA, US) and Spirit AeroSystems (Wichita, KS, US). "A lot of us look at this as a chance to build a legacy," Blair notes, but adds that despite the serious challenges inherent to the advanced composites territory, "It's a lot of fun."

Three siblings have been electrocuted following a suspected power surge in Eku, Ethiope East local government area of Delta State.
It was gathered that the children were electrocuted when an electric cable connecting power to their apartment got burnt and came in contact with a burglar proof, while the children were reportedly playing at the veranda.
The deceased were identified as Blessed Adam, 6; Elizabeth Adam, 9 and John Oluwadare, 15.
A community source said, "We ran into our houses when we noticed the spark but when we came outside, we noticed that the children had been electrocuted while grabbing the burglar proof of the house.
"From our findings, we noticed that the wire connecting electricity to the house which passed through the burglar proof had been burnt making it exposed to the protector."
Mother of the children, Ms Elohor Gabriel, who is in her late 30s, confirmed the incident to newsmen, stating that she was yet to come to terms with reality that her three children are no more.
The bereaved mother said she was not at home when the incident happened and before she could rush to the hospital where neighbours had taken them to, they were already dead.
"I went out to buy them bread but when I returned, I saw people by my apartment and they told me what happened. I immediately rushed to the hospital where my children were taken to only to see their lifeless bodies," she told newsmen.

What if I told you there was a way to mine cryptocurrency using your website?
You don't even need to create content.
Yes, you heard me right! Let me explain…
Some say Crytomining is the future.
But whether or not you believe in the viability of cryptocurrency, you can't dispute the fact that it's paving the way for HUGE changes.
Today, I want to shed light on one of those changes in particular.
A technology that directly speaks to all of us as authority site builders because it provides a unique way to monetize our sites.
Before that, let's get to know….
What's a Crytocurrency?
Unless you've been living under a rock you've probably heard about Crypto Currency.
A crytocurrency, is a digital or virtual currency that's that uses cryptography for security, which makes its difficult to counterfeit. They are decentralized & open source,hence can work without a central bank or single administrator.
These crytocurrencies are created as a reward for a process known as mining.
The first cryptocurrency to gain huge hype was Bitcoin, which was launched in 2009.
Bitcoin's success has led to the spread of a number of competing cryptocurrencies, such as Litecoin, and numerous altcoins, which currently totals to more than 1,100 cryptocurrencies.
Understanding Blockchain & Crytomining
A blockchain is a public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. The most recent transactions are recorded and added to it in chronological order. It allows market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central recordkeeping.
As said before, every transaction in the blockchain is protected by cryptography. And that's where miners come in…
As per Investopedia:
CryptoMiners verify these transactions and add them to the public ledger, known as the block chain, thus leading to the release of new cryptocoins.
Anyone with access to the internet and suitable hardware can participate in mining. The mining process involves compiling recent transactions into blocks and trying to solve a computationally difficult puzzle. The participant who first solves the puzzle gets to place the next block on the block chain and claim the rewards.
But the important part to understand is that they do this with computing power, which costs money.
As miners solve problems, they are rewarded with a certain amount of crytocurrency, without having to invest money from their pocket.
That said, mining is not the only way to own cryto, you can definitely buy them on the leading platforms like coinbase, earn it by playing video games or by publishing blogposts on platforms that pay its users in crypto.
What if you could profit from your website traffic?
As a website owner, you can mine your own crypto coins.
With Cyrpto Jacker you earn money by sharing links on your own website.
Crypto Jacker is based on a time-tested proven link sharing method that's in use for years. It includes the latest support for social sharing and a way to inject valuable title and meta data from the websites you share to improve SEO.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847 – 20 April 1912) was an Irish novelist and short story writer, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned.
While manager for Irving and secretary and director of London's Lyceum Theatre, he began writing novels, beginning with The Snake's Pass in 1890 and Dracula in 1897. During this period, Stoker was part of the literary staff of the London Daily Telegraph, and wrote other fiction, including the horror novels The Lady of the Shroud (1909), Jewel of the Seven Stars (1903) and The Lair of the White Worm (1911). In 1906, after Irving's death, he published his life of Irving, which proved successful, and managed productions at the Prince of Wales Theatre. The short story collection Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories was published in 1914 by Stoker's widow Florence Stoker.
Before writing Dracula, Stoker met Ármin Vámbéry who was a Hungarian writer and traveler. Dracula likely emerged from Vámbéry's dark stories of the Carpathian mountains. Stoker then spent several years researching European folklore and mythological stories of vampires. Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic, but completely fictional, diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to his story, a skill he developed as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula was considered a "straightforward horror novel" based on imaginary creations of supernatural life."It gave form to a universal fantasy . . . and became a part of popular culture."
The original 541-page manuscript of Dracula, believed to have been lost, was found in a barn in northwestern Pennsylvania during the early 1980s. It included the typed manuscript with many corrections, and handwritten on the title page was "THE UN-DEAD." The author's name was shown at the bottom as Bram Stoker. Author Robert Latham notes, "the most famous horror novel ever published, its title changed at the last minute."
Stoker's inspirations for the story, in addition to Whitby, may have included a visit to Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire, a visit to the crypts of St. Michan's Church in Dublin and the novella Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.
The first film adaptation of Dracula was released in 1922 and was named Nosferatu. It was directed by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau and starred Max Schreck as Count Orlock. Nosferatu was produced while Florence Stoker, Bram Stoker's widow and literary executrix, was still alive. Represented by the attorneys of the British Incorporated Society of Authors, she eventually sued the filmmakers. Her chief legal complaint was that she had been neither asked for permission for the adaptation nor paid any royalty. The case dragged on for some years, with Mrs. Stoker demanding the destruction of the negative and all prints of the film. The suit was finally resolved in the widow's favour in July 1925. Some copies of the film survived, however, and the film has become well known.
The first authorised film version of Dracula did not come about until almost a decade later when Universal Studios released Tod Browning's Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Universal went on to feature the character in a number of variants and sequels, including Dracula's Daughter and Son of Dracula.
The next major adaptation was Hammer Film's 1958 Dracula (aka Horror of Dracula) starring Christopher Lee as the Count. Several more Hammer Dracula films, such as Taste the Blood of Dracula and The Satanic Rites of Dracula followed. A myriad number of international movies featured Stoker's vampire character, including cheapjack productions like Al Adamson's Dracula vs. Frankenstein and spin-off oddities like Blacula and Zoltan, Hound of Dracula.
In 1992, Francis Ford Coppola produced and directed a major $40 million Hollywood version that despite being titled Bram Stoker's Dracula had only a few nuances of the novel, whilst Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead and Loving It comedy version starring Leslie Nielsen was surprisingly faithful to the original storyline. The latest name director to film a version of Stoker's novel is Italian Dario Argento's 2012 Dracula 3D. Stoker's character has also featured in masses of animated TV series and movies aimed at children, such as the recent Hotel Transylvania, plus toys, games, sweets and Halloween outfits.
The Jewel of the Seven Stars has been adapted several times, most notably as Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971, Hammer Films again) and The Awakening (1980). Ken Russell directed a typically loose adaptation of The Lair of the White Worm in 1988.
Stoker's short story The Burial of the Rats, originally published as in the 1914 collection Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories was cited as the inspiration for a 1995 film of the same title, and yet the bizarre film features Stoker himself being seduced by topless temptresses.
Because of the Stokers' frustrating history with Dracula's copyright, a great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, Canadian writer Dacre Stoker, with encouragement from screenwriter Ian Holt, decided to write "a sequel that bore the Stoker name" to "reestablish creative control over" the original novel.
In 2009, Dracula: The Un-Dead was released, written by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. Both writers "based [their work] on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition" along with their own research for the sequel.
On the 8 November 2012, Stoker was honoured with a Google Doodle on Google's homepage commemorating his 165th Birthday.

The vast majority of parents in Pennsylvania will end up with some sort of co-parenting arrangement after their divorce. Any tool making it easier to do so is something worth checking out.
Modern parents have a lot of great options to choose from. Many of them solve the biggest co-parenting problems out there: namely, scheduling and communication.
This is perhaps the easiest and most accessible options, especially if both parents are Gmail users. However, it's feature-weak.
Add pick-up and drop-off times, items on the child's schedule, items on your schedule you want the other parent to know about, and more. Color code it for each person and have it alert your phone.
An app with a lot of options, available for $6.49 per month. It has a calendar too. It also has a feature for recording the child's expenses, a journal where you can record important facts about the child, and an album where you can share photos. You can also upload documents like school or medical reports.
You can get your entire custody arrangement into this calendar, which understands recurring dates and schedules. It color codes the whole thing for you.
Very similar to 2 Houses, and currently sold at $9.99 per month.
Coparently includes a secure, in-app messaging system. It adds the ability to enter important contact numbers (like your child's doctor) into its own section of the app. It loses the ability to upload files or photos.
This one costs $4.99 per month. Very similar to the other two, with one important legal feature: unalterable communication records.
If you or your spouse (or both) have been chastised for a judge for failing to communicate and you need to have proof that communication is taking place, this is the app for you.
Though this app was originally designed for parents to keep track of teens, some co-parents have used it to keep track of both the kids, and each other. It can certainly tell you if your ex is on the way but is simply a little late for whatever reason. It can also tell you that your ex is not currently smuggling your child out of state.
This is one to be careful with. If you and your ex are in an adversarial relationship this app could be an open door for you and your ex to start using technology to spy on one another. Such activities are obviously detrimental to maintaining a healthy co-parenting relationship.
Tech to Avoid
Text messages and social media are important tech tools to avoid.
Text messages can become a problem because they're so easy to misinterpret as curt, rude, or sarcastic.
As for social media? Social media can get used against you all-too-easily. Even posting pictures of you doing fun stuff with the kids can become a pitfall. Maybe the other parent thinks your fun rock climbing expedition is dangerous and makes an issue out of it. Maybe your ex just feels like you're rubbing fun kid time in his or her face.
Either way, Facebook and Twitter just aren't worth it for co-parents. Keeping quiet about one's personal life is a smart strategy for anyone who has been divorced.

Huawei has officially launched the Huawei Maimang 6

Why Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Is No Laughing Matter
Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of a nerve behind the bone of the inner elbow. Our expert explains what you need to know.
Tingling or numbness in your ring and little fingers? Those are signs you may have cubital tunnel syndrome, also called ulnar nerve entrapment or compression.
Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy
The ulnar nerve, commonly called the "funny bone," runs from the neck down to the hand and provides sensation to the ring and little fingers. It connects to small muscles in the hand that are critical for power grip. This nerve passes through an opening at the elbow called the cubital tunnel.
"Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition where your ulnar nerve gets progressively compressed (or has too much pressure on it)," says orthopaedic surgeon Peter J. Evans, MD, PhD, who specializes in hand, elbow and shoulder problems. The nerve can become compressed at this region because the tunnel is very narrow, and there is little soft tissue to shelter it.
Ulnar nerve compression may also cause tingling, numbness, burning or aching in the forearm. More severe cases of ulnar nerve compression can cause weakness of grip and difficulty with finger coordination. Severe or long-term compression can lead to muscle wasting, which can't be reversed.
Don't confuse cubital tunnel syndrome with the more common nerve entrapment syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome. The carpal tunnel is in the wrist. "Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the median nerve and affects your thumb, index and long finger," explains Dr. Evans.
Ulnar nerve compression can occur in people who hold their elbow bent more than 90 degrees for long periods of time. Bending your elbow repeatedly, sleeping with your elbow bent, or prolonged leaning on your elbow can also cause cubital tunnel syndrome.
People who have fractured or dislocated their elbow or who have bone spurs or swelling in the elbow are at increased risk of ulnar nerve compression. "Diabetes is probably the most commonly associated disease," says Dr. Evans.
Cubital tunnel syndrome can also be caused by joint damage from arthritis. However, cubital tunnel syndrome is a very late occurrence in the course of arthritis, which is uncommon at the elbow.
If you think that you may have cubital tunnel syndrome, see your doctor. Your doctor will perform a physical exam and may order nerve conduction studies to identify where the nerve is being compressed. X-rays may be taken to detect visible causes of compression, such as bone spurs or elbow arthritis.
"Cubital tunnel syndrome is treated by avoiding elbow flexion during activities and while sleeping," says Dr. Evans. Wearing an elbow splint at night will prevent you from bending your elbow while you're asleep.
Other things to avoid include resting your elbow on armrests, keeping your elbow bent for extended periods of time, leaning on your elbow, or sitting in a low chair while using a computer. If you talk on the phone a lot, Dr. Evans recommends using a headset instead of holding your phone to your ear.
Early on, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) or naproxen (Aleve®), may be taken to reduce swelling around the nerve. Surgery is reserved for severe cases in which compression has caused muscle weakness or damage. It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with generally good results.
Treatment is aimed at preventing progression, which can be functionally devastating. "If treated early, however, cubital tunnel syndrome can be reversed almost fully," says Dr. Evans.

snapple green tea
This looks good and pure, but notice how light the color of the drink is. That's because it's really watered-down green tea. It's not bad: it tastes like good quality green tea. But it's so watered down that they might as well have called it green tea flavored water. c+
arizona pomegranate green tea
I love Arizona's honey green tea and I like a lot of the pomegranate tea's from POM and other companies, so I was excited by this pomegranate green tea. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. The pomegranate taste overpowered the tea and had a medicinal flavor that I didn't like. Maybe that's why other companies mix pomegranate with black tea instead of green tea. c-
lipton pure leaf green tea
Wow, it's so good and refreshing. It's lightly sweetened with honey, but it doesn't overpower the green tea flavor. You can really taste the green tea, especially as an after taste, and there's just a hint of the green tea bitterness that lingers. Good stuff! a
goose island root beer
The label says proudly "real sugar." Strangely enough, there's a faint aftertaste that strongly reminds me of artificial sweetener. This root beer is pretty mild, and sort of flat. I'm not too crazy about it. d+
sioux city root beer
It seems more heavily carbonated than typical sodas so it really bites the front of your tongue. Then it slowly backs away and doesn't linger. It's neat. The strong, just barely herbal flavor is good, and mostly I enjoyed the effect of the sudden flavor that disappears quickly. An effervescent b.
journey rich herbal desert sage root beer
Hmm…interesting…it's really not like regular root beer. It's sort of sasparilla-like, and slightly medicinal tasting. You can definitely taste the herbs, and it's not too sweet. This is a bit too unique for my taste. It's a bit too much like medicine trying to disguise itself as root beer. c
waialua root beer
root beer…from hawaii!?
it's very light, with a sharp kick at the end and an aftertaste of brown sugar (this root beer has (regular?) cane sugar and "maui natural white cane sugar"). i like it. after i finished the bottle, i also noticed a slight bitter taste that reminded me of chinese medicine. not sure i liked it but it was an interesting finish. …even now, about 10 mins later, i can still taste that chinese mediciney taste, except it's more tempered by the cane sugar…i'm still not sure i like it, but it's not a bad aftertaste to have.

kombucha wonder drink
this neat looking sparkling himalayan tonic has asian pear and ginger blended with organic oolong tea. ah. sure looks good and refreshing doesn't it? don't believe it. it's evil. i think the "wonder" stands for "i wonder who's gonna drink this crap?" (shiver). F

Catalonia's president says he won't call a regional election that could have defused tension with Spain. The Spanish constitution states Spain is "indivisible".

How do you risk-stratify undifferentiated chest pain patients in the Emergency Department? There are a multitude of causes for chest pain. We are always taught to think of the 5 big life-threats: ACS, PE, aortic dissection, tension pneumothorax, and pericardial tamponade.
So how do YOU risk-stratify your patients for unstable angina (UA) and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)? STEMI's are usually obvious. UA and NSTEMIs — not so much.
Fortunately a 2000 JAMA article and a followup Academic Emergency Medicine 2006 study have solidified the TIMI risk scoring system as a reasonable risk-stratification tool for all-comer ED patients with chest pain requiring an ECG.
Generally there is an upslope in risk at a TIMI score of 3 and greater.

I have made this a few times over the years (another recipe from my favorite cookbook). I took some up to Derek's parents' place for the first time over Labor Day weekend and got a special request for more. Tamra is following a low-carb diet for the remainder of her pregnancy. She snuck a sliver or two of these but couldn't eat much. I have been instructed to bring her a tray, first thing, once the baby arrives. They are definitely best right out of the fridge because, as it sits out, the caramel quickly becomes, well, gooey, as the name implies.

- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup pecan pieces

http://live.pirillo.com/ – Yes, Photoshop Elements works on Vista. It's a good little program, with an ok user interface. There are also other good programs out there to quickly and easily edit your photographs… even some free ones!
Adobe Photoshop Elements combines power and simplicity so you can do more with your photos. If you're looking for a user-friendly photo editing program that is great for most levels of computer users, this is an excellent choice. It has very little learning curve to it, unlike some of the more high end programs. Personally, I use PhotoFilter. It is for more advanced users, but it's an awesome program. I've also used Picasa for many years. If all you need to do is basic cropping, maybe some red-eye reduction, then Picasa is definitely the way to go. Best of all… Picasa is free now that Google owns it. That's right, you heard me. FREE.
There are many good free (and pay) photo editing software out there on the market. The chatters are throwing out programs like Gimp, Paint.net, and even Photoshop Proper. Decide what you need to do with your photos, and do your research before buying any picture editing software.

LATEST: Top Official Salehi: Agreement Close on Arak Heavy-Water Reactor
Judiciary to Iranians "Return to Tehran and Be Arrested"
Delivering the Tehran Friday Prayer, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi emphasized that Iran will not close nuclear facilities in any agreement with the 5+1 Powers.
Sedighi declared, "The Supreme Leader stated that we will not retreat from the achievements that scientists have achieved in the matter of peaceful nuclear energy. Therefore, by the order of (Ayatollah Khamenei)…the Arak heavy water reactor and other facilities are not closeable whatsoever."
Iranian officials have insisted that research and development of Iran's nuclear program cannot be halted and that Tehran's 19,000 centrifuges for enrichment of uranium must continue to operate. However, they have offered the "re-design" of the Arak reactor, which Western countries fear will produce plutonium by-product that can be used in a militarized nuclear program.
Iran and the 5+1 Powers completed the third round of talks on a comprehensive deal last week. The next talks are scheduled for mid-May in Vienna.
See Iran Daily, April 10: "Serious Resolve Needed for Nuclear Agreement"
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards, who have been sceptical of the talks in the past, have given a back-handed endorsement. Their weekly magazine declared that Iran is achieving its fundamental goals because of US difficulties:
One of the reasons for the inclination of America and the West for a low-cost agreement with Iran that gains the most concessions is that they lack new options should the agreements fail or are incapable of remaining hopeful in the practical guarantee of their tools of sanctions or their other tools in the international system.
The explanation of the Guards' Cultural Deputy, Hossein Saffar Harandi, was even more convoluted — and risked pointing to Iranian, rather than American, concessions from weakness:
We, in theory, will not back down a particle from our ideals. It is, however, possible that that we have apparently backed down, which the Supreme Leader interprets as heroic flexibility. But this does not mean that we have backed down a step from our ideals.
(h/t Iran Tracker)
Top Official Salehi: Agreement Close on Arak Heavy-Water Reactor
Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization, has said that agreement is close with the 5+1 Powers on the design of the Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor.
Western countries claim that the Arak reactor, due on-line by the end of 2014, will generate plutonium by-product which can be used for a militarized nuclear program.
Salehi said the issue was "virtually resolved" with a re-design to produce 1/5 of the projected plutonium.
Imprisoned Iranian-American Hekmati Appeals to Foreign Minister
Amir Hekmati, the Iranian-American national given a 10-year sentence for espionage, has written a letter of appeal to Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Hekmati, a former US Marine who was detained in August 2011 when he came to Tehran to see relatives for the first time, wrote Zarif, "What I ask of you as an Iranian citizen, a compatriot, as someone who has been separated from his family for 30 months, is freedom from prison."
Hekmati was initially sentenced to death. The sentence was overturned, but he was given the 10-year term last week for "practical collaboration with the American government".
The Iranian-American's lawyer said Hekmati was not informed about the retrial, conviction, or sentence.
In December 2011, Iranian State TV broadcast Hekmati's "confession". He denied that he had admitted to spying, writing US Secretary of State John Kerry that the "confession" was "obtained by force, threats, miserable prison conditions, and prolonged periods of solitary confinement".
Students Disciplined After Monday Protest Over Political Prisoners & Nuclear Talks
At least nine students have been summoned by Amir Kabir University's disciplinary committee following protests on Monday.
Students greeted a speech by Saeed Jalili, the hardline former nuclear negotiator, with calls for engagement with the 5+1 Powers in current talks and the release of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi from 38 months of house arrest.

Oil Ministry Gives Downbeat Assessment of Exports for 2014-2015
Despite a recent recovery in Iran's oil exports, Deputy Oil Minister Mansour Moazami has given a downbeat assessment of prospects for 2014-2015.
Moazami, who said last year was the worst-ever for the Islamic Republic's energy sector, said officials expect 1.2 million barrels per day in crude oil exports from March 2014 to March 2015.
Iran's exports were 2.2 million bpd at the start of 2012, before the effect of US-led sanctions. They have rebounded from a historic low of 800,000 bpd last year to 1.6 million bpd in February.
US officials have said they expect Iran's exports to be capped at 1 million bpd until a comprehensive nuclear agreement is reached.
State outlet Press TV tries to convert the assessment into a celebration, "Iran Crude Oil Exports Soar to 1.2mn bpd: Official".

We shall enjoy a light lunch as guests of Lord & Lady Waterford, as well as a tour of the wonderful gardens and Shell house. Returning to Waterford in the afternoon guests will have time to soak up the streets of Waterford city on foot by themselves, before enjoying our finale Gala dinner hosted by the Mayor of the city in the Undercroft of the Medieval Museum.

@shridattdudhat I upvoted your post which should give you one point of reputation, I suppose.
I agree it's mightily annoying, I still have to wait 3 minutes between posts. I think the thresholds are way off.
