BLACKSBURG, Va. ¿ The Orange Effect was the theme on Thursday, so Virginia Tech's players wore orange jerseys instead of their typical home maroon. It was part marketing move, part subliminal symbolism.
Although the No. 14 Hokies might have been out of the national title conversation, they still entered the night with an outside chance to win their third consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference championship and to make the accompanying trip to the Orange Bowl.
But on a crisp night here, Virginia Tech's conference title hopes seemed to evaporate with a 20-17 loss to North Carolina in front of a sellout crowd of 66,233 at Lane Stadium.
The Tar Heels won the game with a 21-yard field goal by Casey Barth as time expired.
Hokies running back Ryan Williams fumbled with 2 minutes 2 seconds to give North Carolina possession on the Virginia Tech 24-yard line. The Tar Heels drained the clock before Barth connected on the game-ending kick.
While North Carolina players stormed the field and celebrated, Williams lingered on the bench as he was consoled by injured running backs Darren Evans and Kenny Lewis.
"As of right now, there probably isn't anything you can do to lift me up," Williams said after rushing for 96 yards on 23 carries. "Regardless of what we say, I feel personally I took the game away from us today. It was on the line, it was in my hands, and I fumbled."
The game seemed like it would be a cathartic opportunity for the Hokies to put the past behind them. Since its 28-23 loss at Georgia Tech on Oct. 17, Virginia Tech has been haunted by questions about its missed opportunity to control the ACC's Coastal Division.
But with the loss to the Tar Heels (5-3, 1-3), Virginia Tech is left wondering what happened to its season. The Hokies (5-3, 3-2) are in the middle of the Coastal Division standings and appear fast-tracked for a second-tier bowl game.
"I firmly believe we're a good football team," Coach Frank Beamer said. "The problem we've got is we're not consistently good offensively, defensively and on special teams. But particularly offensively and defensively, we haven't reached that [level of] consistently good."
In the first half, Virginia Tech's offense had little success as it repeatedly tried to throw into North Carolina's lock-down secondary. In the second half, Virginia Tech's defense could not stop a Tar Heels offense that ranked 114th nationally before Thursday.
"They've got some good players," Beamer said. "They took it to us."

- Al Woods could be on the spot for Steelers
BALTIMORE�-- It will be interesting to see how much the Ravens challenge Steelers nose tackle Al Woods, who is expected to make his first NFL start tonight at M&T Bank Stadium. Woods played well after replacing the injured Steve McLendon last Sunday in Cleveland, recording his first two sacks with the Steelers and helping limit the Browns to just 55 rushing yards.
The Ravens are next to last in the NFL in�rushing offense, but they will test the Steelers more than the Browns did simply because they have Ray Rice.
Rice is having a down season by just about any statistical measure, and he rushed for 45 yards on 15 carries in the Ravens’ 19-16 loss to the Steelers last month at Heinz Field. But he is still a significant upgrade over Browns running backs Willis McGahee, Chris Ogbonnaya and Fozzy Whittaker if only because of his receiving ability -- and�his history against the Steelers.
Polamalu has easily been more valuable to the Steelers this season when he has played closer to the line of scrimmage, and the seven-time Pro Bowler�will be a key to containing Rice and disrupting the Ravens' offense.
"We thought that he had the anchor ability certainly to sit down in there and police the middle of the formation," LeBeau�said of playing Woods at nose tackle.�"I think he did a good job last week when he went in there doing it, but I think he does a good job at end, too. I think he can play both of those positions."

Tall story: From over-the-knee to thigh-high, long boots are the season's biggest trend | Daily Mail Online
The thigh's the limit! Our pick of this season's over-the-knee boots
Updated: 20:39 EST, 7 October 2009
On trend: Black ruched leather, £160, modainpelle.com
Boot-buying season is upon us once again, and this year's trend? High boots.
We're talking on the knee, above the knee and even thigh-high boots.
As a general rule, if the boot is detailed, then keep the heel low and simple.
The biggest challenge in buying any boot is getting one that fits correctly at the ankle and calf - if you've got wide calves or ankles try looking in Evans.
Skinny? Get a tailor-made pair from Duo Boots who measure your leg to ensure a perfect fit (duoboots.com).
To avoid looking like you've just walked off a pantomime stage, keep the rest of your look muted - team them with leggings and a chunky knitted cardigan for a relaxed and cosy winter outfit.

US 5302348 AAbstract
An apparatus and method for performing a coagulation time test on a sample of blood wherein the blood is deposited in a fluid reservoir and disposable cuvette. Within the cuvette is formed a capillary conduit have at least one restricted region. The cuvette is inserted into a testing machine which engages the cuvette and draws blood from the fluid reservoir into the capillary conduit. The blood is then caused to reciprocally move within the capillary conduit whereby the blood is forced to traverse the restricted region. The testing machine measures the time required each time the blood is caused to traverse the restricted region. When a measured time is a predetermined percentage longer than an immediately preceding time, coagulation is considered to have occurred and the overall coagulation time is displayed to the operator.
1. An apparatus for performing a coagulation time test on a blood sample, comprising:fluid reservoir for retaining the blood sample, said fluid reservoir including a volume control means for isolating a predetermined volume of the blood sample for testing; conduit means extending from a distal end to a proximate end, wherein said distal end is coupled to said fluid reservoir, said conduit means having at least one restricted region between said distal end and said proximate end; driving means, coupled to said proximate end of said conduit means, for selectively altering air pressure within said conduit means, said driving means controlled so as to draw the predetermined volume of the blood sample into said conduit means from said fluid reservoir and causing the predetermined volume of the blood sample to reciprocally move within said conduit means back and forth between a first position on one side of said at least one restricted region and a second position on an opposite side of said at least one restricted region; a plurality of detection means for detecting the presence of the blood sample within said conduit means at said first position and said second position; and control means coupled to said plurality of detection means, said control means counting the time elapsed each time the blood sample moves between said first position and said second position, said control means providing an indication to an operator when a measured time is a predetermined percentage longer than a previous measured time, whereby said predetermined percentage is indicative of coagulation in the blood sample. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said driving means, said plurality of detection means and said control means are contained within a test device and said fluid reservoir and said conduit means are contained within a disposable cuvette that is selectively applied to said test device.

(Corrects references to a brand-name drug in third and fourth paragraphs.)Even for people who have health insurance, brand-name prescription drugs can be expensive. If the companies that sell those drugs want to give some patients a little help covering the cost, well, what could be the harm in that?A lot, it turns out. Welcome to the shadowy world of health-care financing, where the battle between drugmakers and insurers is fought with coupons -- and where the Affordable Care Act might give insurers, and by extension the rest of us, the upper hand.Unlike coupons for, say, breakfast cereal, coupons for pricey drugs are a bit of a racket. It works like this: Your doctor says you need a drug to, say, treat your depression. Perhaps you've heard about a particular brand-name antidepressant and ask for it; your doctor says a generic version has just been approved but agrees to prescribe the brand you want. (She's not alone: More than one-third of U.S. physicians report prescribing brand-name drugs when asked, even if an appropriate -- and much cheaper -- generic is available.) Your doctor, however, isn't paying the cost of the drug; your insurance company is. Insurers could simply refuse to cover brand-name drugs, but then who would buy their policies? Instead, companies discourage higher-priced medicines by charging you a higher copayment. Drugmakers know this, and they offer some patients coupons offsetting that copayment. You stick with the brand-name drug; the drugmaker gets more revenue; and your insurance company is hit with a much higher cost.Those costs add up. Coupons will increase U.S. pharmaceutical spending by as much as $32 billion from 2012 to 2021, according to a study paid for by pharmacy benefit managers, who help insurers manage drug costs. That extra spending is passed on to consumers in higher premiums. What looks like a freebie ends up being anything but.Enter Obamacare. Medicare and Medicaid don't allow coupon programs, calling them kickbacks by drugmakers; until last fall, it looked as though the government might impose the same prohibition on insurance bought on the new state exchanges. Then Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the kickback rule didn't apply; drugmakers say they're waiting for a final verdict.For a law with the phrase "affordable care" in its title, failing to block coupon programs would be a missed opportunity. In the meantime, states can help. Massachusetts banned those programs in 1988, and the state has one of the country's lowest levels of spending on prescription drugs as a share of total health-care costs.None of this should detract from doing what's right for the patient. Since 2012, Massachusetts has allowed drugmakers to offer copayment assistance for treatments where no generic is available. Applying that compromise to Obamacare could address a situation that Bloomberg News reported on last month, in which some drugmakers, worried about running afoul of federal rules, have ended assistance for people on exchange-based plans, even for drugs that have no generic alternative.The U.S. continues to spend 50 percent more than any other developed country on health care, and there aren't many easy ways to close that gap. Blocking drug coupons when generics are available is one strategy that could help.

See comment in PubMed Commons belowJAMA. 1992 Jan 8;267(2):247-52.Factors affecting the waiting time of cadaveric kidney transplant candidates in the United States.Sanfilippo FP1, Vaughn WK, Peters TG, Shield CF 3rd, Adams PL, Lorber MI, Williams GM.Author information1Department of Pathology, Duke University, Durham, NC.AbstractOBJECTIVE--To evaluate the relative impact of various factors that could account for differences in waiting time of cadaveric kidney transplant candidates (eg, black and sensitized patients).DESIGN: --A cohort study using multivariate analyses to identify associations between 36 patient, donor, and center factors with waiting time for all US cadaveric kidney transplant candidates listed between October 1, 1987, and June 30, 1990. SETTING--All US kidney transplant centers. PATIENTS--The study included 23,468 cadaveric renal transplant candidates on active waiting status. RESULTS--The patient characteristics most significantly associated with increased waiting time (adjusted for all other variables) were immunologic and included presensitization to HLA antigens, O or B blood type, candidacy for a repeat transplantation, and expression of rare HLA-A or HLA-B antigen phenotypes. Nonimmunologic factors also affected waiting times, which were significantly shorter for patients younger than 15 years vs those aged 15 through 44 years (8.4 vs 12.9 months, respectively; P less than .0001), for those listed at multiple centers vs one center (7.0 vs 13.3 months, respectively; P less than .0001), or for white vs black patients (11.9 vs 15.4 months, respectively; P less than .0001). Local transplant center characteristics associated with a significantly shorter waiting time included a small number of transplantation candidates, a high (greater than 35 per million population) local kidney organ recovery rate, and an approved variance from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network allocation algorithm. CONCLUSIONS--The time renal transplant candidates must wait for kidney transplantation is influenced by several factors in addition to those expected due to immunologic reasons of donor incompatibility, the algorithms used for organ distribution, or the effectiveness of local kidney recovery. The impact of these factors should be considered as the current US system for allocating scarce donor organs for kidney transplantation is modified.PMID: 1727521 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] ShareMeSH TermsMeSH TermsAfrican AmericansAlgorithmsGraft RejectionHumansKidney Transplantation*Time FactorsTissue Donors/supply & distribution*Tissue and Organ Procurement/standards*Waiting ListsLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesSilverchair Information SystemsMedicalKidney Transplantation - MedlinePlus Health InformationOrgan Donation - MedlinePlus Health InformationPubMed Commons home

Thinking in bets : making smarter decisions when you don't have all the facts (eBook, 2018) [WorldCat.org]
I thought you might be interested in this item at http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1056996020 Title: Thinking in bets : making smarter decisions when you don't have all the facts Author: Annie Duke; OverDrive, Inc Publisher: [Place of publication not identified] : Penguin Publishing Group, 2018. ISBN/ISSN: 9780735216365 0735216363 OCLC:1056996020
Annie Duke; OverDrive, Inc.
"Poker champion turned business consultant Annie Duke teaches you how to get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions as a result. In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a hand off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there is always information that is hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned business consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes and bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes. By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate and successful in the long run"-- Read more...

The 3G Intermodal White Paper
Towards a 3rd
Generation Intermodal Transportation Blueprint for the Nation
Arno Hart, RNO Group, LLC
Intermodal infrastructure development in the United States is at a juncture that could lead to the
development of a third generation (3G) of intermodal systems and services. 3G intermodal will be in
response to the widening of the Panama Canal, and will offer a triple-play of intermodal services – truck,
rail and barge. This paper examines the need for a 3G intermodal system in the United States.
Recognizing that intermodal is a broadly used term, this paper is written in the context of the
international container port and the intermodal infrastructure and offerings serving it.
An Overview of Two Generations of Intermodal Development
Ever since the development of the international shipping container, thanks to Malcolm Mclean and
other innovators, the development of intermodal infrastructure has, broadly speaking, evolved through
two generations of systems and services. These systems were designed in response to international
shipping trends and the demand for intermodal services by shippers.
Generation Intermodal – In Response to the Standardized Container Box. The first
generation of intermodal infrastructure development was in response to McLean’s container
box introduced in the 1950’s, and had a heavy focus on the truck’s role. From McLean’s initial
product in 1956, which had an initial focus on roll-on/roll-off, and for several decades
thereafter, the truck played a dominant role in intermodal transport. And even with the rapid
adoption of the rail intermodal function at ports, the truck still played a strong role in draying
containers between ports and rail intermodal yards. Markets within a 8-12 hour drive were
conveniently served by truck, and more distant markets served by rail intermodal, with trucking
playing a key drayage role at either end of the trip. As a result, the intermodal infrastructure at
and around the port is characteristically truck oriented, with the role of rail geared to off- or
near-dock.
Generation Intermodal – In Response to Asian Trade Growth – The second generation of
intermodal infrastructure was heavily influenced by the growth in Asian related trade. Demand
for land-bridged intermodal services across the north American continent, between the east and
west coasts as well as the industrial heartland, brought on a new generation of intermodal
infrastructure systems and services which were heavily focused on the rail intermodal system.
The long distances between the West Coast ports and markets in the heartland and along the
eastern seaboard made rail intermodal service very competitive. In addition, the rail intermodal
industry became more service oriented and introduced new innovations such as double stacking
and time definite scheduled services. And they worked with the respective ports to build on-
dock rail terminals as well as inland ports to improve efficiencies. As a result, port related
intermodal infrastructure development placed a heavy emphasis on moving the containers
through the port as quickly and efficiently as possible, relying on both trucks and rail.
3G Intermodal - © 2010 RNO Group, LLC Page 2
In summary, first generation intermodal is characteristically mode single. Second generation intermodal
is largely dual mode, specifically truck and rail.
The Intermodal Policy Dilemma
The demand for Asian trade has made publicly-driven intermodal policies a success. The significance of
Asian trade densities and the operational dynamics of long-haul intermodal trips across the North
American continent have largely been responsible for the dominant and profitable role of intermodal in
the rail industry’s business model. However, with the widening of the Panama Canal, the economics of
all-water services to the East Coast are likely to become more viable. As a result, a portion of existing
ships calling at West Coast ports, as well as a portion of future growth in trade, may be diverted to the
East Coast. This will deal a blow to current intermodal policy in the sense that an increasing share of
Asian trade will be handled by ports which are predominantly served by truck. While West Coast ports
have a strong rail intermodal mode share, East Coast ports do not. For reasons explained later, East
Coast ports are largely truck ports. Their markets are in close proximity and are ideal for truck service.
Distances-to-market are too short to make rail intermodal viable, at least to date. The result is that
intermodal policy is likely to take a step back, unless it shifts into a third generational mode.
An Introduction to 3G Intermodal Development – In Response to the Panama Canal
3G intermodal infrastructure is in response to the widening of the Panama Canal, and will evolve from
the growth in triple-play intermodal services (containers on trucks, rail and barge ) at container gateway
ports. The outcome of 3G intermodal development is largely dependent on the success of two aspects,
specifically container-on-barge development (including short-sea-shipping) and short-haul intermodal
rail. The former functioning as “marine highways” serving the nation’s interior from Gulf Coast ports
and the latter serving as “reverse mini-landbridges” from East Coast ports to inland markets.
Marine Highways – This refers to the use of inland rivers and waterways (marine highways) to
ship containers to and from inland markets. Now more than ever, marine highways offer an
opportunity to support a third generation of intermodal terminals and services. They present a
unique opportunity for developing container load centers that can offer a triple-play of
intermodal services – truck, rail and barge.
Reverse Mini Rail Landbridges – They serve the reverse role of the current trans-continental
landbride for containers to/from Asia, except on a smaller scale. Instead of calling on West
Coast ports, containers are shipped through the Panama Canal to the East Coast and then
shipped by rail or truck to points west The challenge is in the cost competitiveness of the rail
reverse mini landbridge, given the close proximity of the markets to the ports.
Without a 3G intermodal system that is focused on introducing these two key initiatives, it is likely that
intermodal mode share will shift back towards trucks.
The Panama Canal Window
The widening of the Panama Canal presents a unique window within which to target a 3G intermodal
development strategy. The likely repositioning of trade lanes and load centers as a result of the canal’s
widening presents that best case for developing 3G intermodal systems that offer a triple-play of
intermodal services. Moreover, the intermodal strategies and investments currently being put in place
will remain for decades, so the cost of missing this window of opportunity is significant. There will not
be as major a development in the industry for the foreseeable future. The time to put 3G intermodal
into place is now.
3G Intermodal - © 2010 RNO Group, LLC Page 3
The Third Generation of Intermodal Policy
To date there are very few coastal container load centers that will support the development of 3G
intermodal. The public policy debate around the success of container-on-barge and short-haul rail has
largely focused on the obvious cost and environmental benefits of the modes, with the skeptics focusing
on the cost and operational challenges of the respective services.
However, it is critical that the debate be viewed from a broader public policy viewpoint, focused on the
evolution of intermodal transportation as opposed to the feasibility of the services themselves. The
public policy debate should focus instead on the development of the third generation of infrastructure
that is critical to the success of the services.
Policies Towards Marine Highways - The intermodal policy debate should focus on policies and
funding options that will result in the design and development of coastal load centers that are
connected to major waterways that serve the nation’s heartland. Policies and investments
should be directed at the development of significant container load centers along the Gulf
Coast, in close proximity to the base of the Mobile and Mississippi Rivers.
Policies Toward Reverse Mini Rail Landbridges - Policies and investments should be directed at
the development of express rail services between selected Atlantic ports and the largest inland
markets. In addition, innovations should be introduced that are aimed at reducing the cost
impediments of short-haul rail intermodal.
The Transportation Geography of Intermodal Development
The transportation geography of intermodal development has been distinct and unique within each of
the generations. Again, speaking broadly, the truck focused container gateway ports have been a largely
East Coast practice, although on-dock rail is a far more common practice of late at East Coast ports. The
truck focus is largely a result of market dynamics. East Coast ports predominantly serve their local
markets within a 8-12 hour drive, and hence the heavy role for truck (this is not a rule and there are
exceptions). Second generation intermodal development has a had a much larger influence on the West
Coast due to the role of Asian trade and the need to serve markets east. As a result, the mode share
ratio between West Coast ports and East Coast ports is markedly different.
3G intermodal development will also have a distinct geographic footprint. MARAD’s newly published
Marine Highway corridors is a good indication of the potential marine highways geographic footprint.
For reverse mini landbridges, the geographic footprint will have a focus on major East Coast container
load centers with rapid and direct rail access to major inland markets.

A Potential Geographic Blueprint for 3G Intermodal Development
Source: Maritime Administration, July 2010
A Strategic Blueprint Forward
The public policy path toward 3G intermodal development should concentrate on five core areas:
1) The development of international container load centers within proximity of major inland
waterway systems, specifically waterways that lead to large interior markets.
2) The development of terminal infrastructure designed to accommodate a triple-play of
3) Enhanced mode share policies and incentives that encourage port terminal operators and third
party service providers to offer a balanced range of intermodal services.
4) The revision of policies that prevent the development of agile vessel technologies more suited
for the higher service demands of the global supply chain.
5) Investment in rail operations and systems which, accelerate the transfer of containers from ship
to rail, and reduce the cost of handling.

Hi. I'm a college student and I'm planing to do a project in Israel over the summer, probably in Jerusalem. I want to stay for 2 months or longer and have looked at several places. Even the cheapest is more than $1,000 a month and I'm not willing to pay that much. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks

As far as I know the HU only rents to students in summer programmes as there is a lot of demand. I also haven't heard such positive things about the dorms - there are some nice buildings but the older ones are really not that nice and you usually have to share a room with someone else. The location is also not very convenient unless you're working/studying at the Mt Scopus campus of the university. If you're working elsewhere, I'd go for a private rental, trying all the sites people have suggested above. NB you are much more likely to find a summer sublet from someone who has already rented the place than a short term contract on a student flat.
There is a new compound of dorms, the Students Village (Kfar HaStudentim), in which you can find great facilities (have visited there myself) although Avigail is right: you might share a room with another guy. This Students village was actually opened this year, so it's as new as possible. Regarding location, even if you're working/studying Not in the Mt Scopus campus, the public transportaion from there is very convenient and will bring you to virtually anyplace in the city. For example, to the city center within about 20 min or so.
oops, sorry for repeating Avigail's post... :-0

Safety connection for a retrofit flue damper
US 4157785 A
1. In a furnace adapted to receive a retrofit flue damper, said furnace having a heat exchanger, heat source means for supplying heat to the heat exchanger, a flow path for flue gases which is adapted to be regulated by a flue damper, a sensing means for determining when heating is required and a retrofit flue damper; an improved flue damper safety arrangement which comprises:
a furnace control circuit being adapted to receive the appropriate connections for the retrofit flue damper, said control circuit including a jumper conductor connecting the sensing means with the heat source means such that when heat is required the heat source means is energized through the jumper conductor;
a flue damper circuit having means to open and close the flue damper and means for determining if the flue damper is in the open position; and
connecting means between the furnace control circuit and the flue damper circuit such that the configuration of the connecting means requires removal of the jumper conductor before the furnace control circuit is connected to the flue damper circuit, said jumper conductor removal requiring the means for determining if the flue damper is in the open position to determine that the flue damper is open prior to the heat source means being engaged by the sensing means whereby upon connection of the flue damper, the heat source means may not be engaged unless the flue damper is in the open position.
2. The invention as set forth in claim 1 wherein the appropriate connections of the furnace control circuit are a plurality of conductor runs located on a printed circuit board and wherein the jumper conductor is also a conductor run on the printed circuit board.
8. The invention as set forth in claim 6 and further including;
a first conductor run which is connected to a power source within the furnace control circuit to operate a motor to close the flue damper;
a second conductor run which is attached to a common wire in the furnace control circuit to complete the motor circuit;
a third conductor run attached to the sensing means for conducting a signal when heating is required; and
a fourth conductor run attached to the heat source means to operate the furnace when the signal generated by the sensing means passes through the electrical contacts indicating the damper is in the open position.
9. The invention as set forth in claim 8 wherein the adapter comprises a body having an opening therein for receiving the conductor run portion of the printed circuit board and a plurality of spring contacts arranged so that each contact engages a conductor run forming an electrical connection, each contact also being connected to the appropriate element of the flue damper circuit.
10. A method for assuring that a retrofit flue damper to be added to a furnace having a sensing means for determining when heating is required and a heat source means for supplying heat, a flue damper having a flue damper circuit which prevents the heat source means from being energized if the flue damper is not in the open position, is properly installed which comprises the steps of:
providing a furnace control circuit connecting the heat source means to the sensing means, said circuit being adapted to receive a retrofit flue damper circuit; and
preventing the electrical connection of the flue damper circuit to the furnace control circuit if the heat source means remains connected to the sensing means within the furnace control circuit.
11. The invention as set forth in claim 10 wherein the step of preventing includes:
forming a jumper conductor as part of the furnace control circuit connecting the heat source means to the sensing means; and
attaching a connector to the flue damper circuit such that the connector may not be electrically connected to the furnace control circuit unless the jumper conductor is first removed, thereby disengaging the furnace control circuit connection of the heat source means to the sensing means.
