How can you determine the ampacity of conductors and apply adjustment factors, based on the requirements in Secs. 310-10?
The ampacities of conductors vary depending on their conditions of use and exposure to surrounding ambient temperatures. This article covers how to determine the ampacity of conductors, based on the requirements in Sec. 310-10, Fine Print Notes (FPNs) (1) through (4).
The conductor ampacities listed in Tables 310-16 through 310-19 are based on four determining factors:
- Ambient temperature;
- Internal conductor heat (based on load current);
- Rate of heat dissipation; and
- Effect of adjacent load carrying conductors.
Let's explore each of these in more detail.
Sec. 310-10, FPN (1). If the temperature surrounding the conductor (along its entire length) varies from 86øF (30øC), the allowable ampacity as listed in Table 310-16 shall be corrected, according to the correction factors noted below the Table.
For example, three current-carrying copper conductors in a raceway exposed to a 40øC (104øF) ambient temperature shall have their ampacities derated by 91%. However, ambient temperature will not affect the ampacity of conductors if that portion of the conductor routed through the higher ambient zone is 10 ft or less and does not exceed 10% of the total length of such conductors (per Sec. 310-15(a)(2), Ex.).
Sec. 310-10, FPN (2). To comply with this rule, size the ampacity of a conductor to carry the load without overheating its insulation beyond the listed temperature per Table 310-13 and Table 310-16. A properly sized conductor serves as a heat sink to remove heat away from the terminals of devices and equipment. To ensure conductors are adequately sized to supply the load without overheating its insulation, you must compute the loads per Sec. 210-19(a) for branch-circuits and Sec. 215-2(a) for feeder-circuits.
Continuous loads shall have a full-load current increase of 125%. Then, you add this value to noncontinuous loads at 100% or to demand factors, if any such loads are present.
Sec. 310-10, FPN (3). If you don't select the ampacities of conductors according to the lowest temperature rating of devices and equipment, the higher temperatures in the insulation will deteriorate internal working parts.
If you connect a conductor with 90øC insulation to a terminal rated 60øC, you must heat the 90øC insulation above 90øC before heat can dissipate into the surrounding ambient medium. Matching the 90øC ampacity of the conductor to the 60øC ampacities of the overcurrent protection device and equipment limits the unwanted heating effects of internal components (see Fig. 4).
Sec. 310-10, FPN (4). The proximity heating effect of conductors occur where you bundle or pull conductors together in raceways or cables. When you install conductors in this manner, you reduce their ability to dissipate heat. You must apply adjustment factors per Sec. 310-15(b)(2)(a) to compensate for such heating and to prevent damage to insulation and components of devices and equipment.
If you pull four or more current-carrying conductors (0V to 2000V) through a raceway or bundle in a cable for a distance greater than 24 in., you'll reduce (derate) the allowable ampacity of such conductors by the factors (percentages) listed in Table 310-15(b)(2)(a).
For example, nine current-carrying conductors in a raceway shall have their ampacities listed in Table 310-16 reduced by 70%, so their insulation rating will not overheat if they should ever become fully loaded.

The Department of Physical Therapy offers the following graduate programs:
The Mission of the Department of Physical Therapy is consistent with that of the College of Health Sciences and the University of Massachusetts Lowell in that it promotes the concepts of human health and development through:
The faculty of the Department of Physical Therapy believes that individuals have intrinsic worth and a right to optimal health and function. Function is defined as those activities identified by an individual as essential to support physical, social, and psychological well being and to create a personal sense of meaningful living. Physical therapists provide services to patients/clients with impairments, functional limitations, disabilities, or changes in physical function and health status resulting from injury, disease, or other causes. Physical therapists also can prevent the development of impairment, functional limitation, or disability by identifying disablement risk factors and by buffering the disablement process through prevention and wellness strategies.
The physical therapist is professionally educated in a program that synthesizes graduate study with undergraduate knowledge, and experiential learning. The graduate of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program is prepared to function as an ethical and competent practitioner who uses effective clinical decision making and psychomotor skills to provide services to patients/clients. The five elements of patient/client management include examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. The graduate also is prepared to interact and practice in collaboration with a variety of health professionals, provide prevention and wellness services, consult, educate, and engage in critical inquiry. Finally, the graduate is prepared to direct and supervise physical therapy services, including support personnel. Graduates are expected to assume a leadership role in health care and to practice autonomously and cooperatively in a variety of practice settings such as: hospitals, rehabilitation centers, extended care facilities, schools, sports medicine clinics, community health and private practices, and industrial or workplace settings.
The faculty believes that students are active participants in the educational process. As potential professionals, the relationship between students and faculty is one in which there is mutual respect, understanding, and interchange of ideas. The faculty, as experienced professionals, are resource persons, mentors, and role models for the developing professional. The faculty view themselves as facilitators of the learning process. Students are expected to demonstrate commitment to learning as the basis for continued personal and professional growth, effective interpersonal and communication skills, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and appropriate professional conduct. Effective use of time and resources, feedback, and stress management strategies are important components of the behaviors of the successful student.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A grand jury in New York City Wednesday indicted a man investigators say confessed to killing 6-year-old Etan Patz in 1979.
The Manhattan district attorney's office said the panel charged Pedro Hernandez, 51, with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of kidnapping, the cable television station NY1 reported.
Before the indictment was handed up, sources told the New York Post the panel was being asked to bring a murder indictment against Hernandez based on little more than his own confession. Prosecutors contend, however, they have credible and persuasive evidence, and that Hernandez was mentally competent, NY1 said.
Hernandez said in May he killed Etan. But his attorney said in a statement Hernandez is mentally ill and has a history of hallucinations.
The boy disappeared more than 30 years ago while walking to a school bus stop a block from his family's SoHo apartment. His body hasn't been found.
At the time, Hernandez was working at a nearby store.
Hernandez is to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court Thursday.

Nylabones? Raw hides? Booda Bimples? Dental Chews? With or without nubs? I remember hearing at one point "don't use this particular type of chew bone" but now can't remember what it was! Our current dog doesn't pay attention to anything but raw hide, so she gets those occasionally, but I'm curious what to get for the new (probably teething) puppy. He'll be 16 weeks when we get him. :dgwlk: Thanks!

Never before has there been a public display of the technological capabilities of a hockey company like Bauer displayed on December 19.
Bauer unveiled the OD1N equipment line that is going to officially be put on display during the 2014 Winter Olympics by some of the world's best players. Nicklas Backstrom, Claude Giroux, Patrick Kane, Henrik Lundqvist and Jonathan Toews will each wear the OD1N gear during the games in a public display of Bauer's technological prowess.
The line of thinking in developing the OD1N line was inspired by the concept cars introduced at auto shows on a yearly basis. Just as a concept car shows the features a car company hopes to bring to market in coming years, Bauer is using OD1N to introduce technological advances they hope to bring to market in the coming years.
That's the most interesting part of this entire line of equipment. There's a chance that none of this gear ever goes on sale to the general public. For now, it will just be for the world's elite.
It's more than likely that some of the features begin to be seen in stores sooner rather than later. But some of the design features in the line seem to be something that will only ever be found in an NHL locker room.
For example, the OD1N protective gear is mapped to each player's body using a special scanning suit and a 3D scanning tool. It provides for a fully accurate, 3D map of each player's body which then allows Bauer to build each shoulder pad, elbow pad and shin pad to the exact measurements of each player's body.
Bauer also developed a base layer that has high-tech foam reinforcing specific areas throughout the body. For example, the small of the back or the neck. By putting this foam on the player's base layer, the shoulder, elbow and shin pads can have foam and plastic removed since the base layer is already providing that protection.
The though process is to eliminate redundancies in each piece of equipment to ultimately save weight between the shoulders and legs. Ultimately, Bauer eliminated four pounds of weight by combining high-tech foam and carbon along with the scaled back layers of foam.
By eliminating that much weight, Bauer has determined that this equipment will make a player a full foot faster than a competitor in a 50-sprint. That means someone wearing this gear could conceivably beat an opponent to a puck by a full foot. Which is a significant difference.
Weight reduction is the key to the entire line of equipment as the inspiration is that those four missing pounds translated over each and every shift over the course of the game equates to hundreds of pounds of weight savings that was previously sitting on the shoulders and legs of each player. Therefore, by saving each player that much weight, Bauer expects each player to not only be more explosive shift-to-shift, but have more endurance at the end of each game as the stress exerted by their bodies will be that much less.
This is reflected in the radical new OD1N skate in the form of a brand new carbon-composite blade holder that doesn't conform to any traditional design standards. Instead of a hole in the middle of the foot, the OD1N has two large holes below the toes and heel with a small, rigid stabilizer in the middle.
Combined with the high-tech carbon boot, Bauer has managed to save a full half-pound in each skate with the new design. They equate that to over 1000 pounds of weight that doesn't need to be lifted over the course of an entire game.
They didn't forget about the goaltenders either. Bauer's OD1N goal pad is 1/3 the weight of a traditional goal pad which is a drastic difference in weight which, like with the skate and protective gear, is built to take away hundreds of pounds worth of lifting that is typically done by a goalie in a game.
Bauer also claims that the OD1N pad can be tuned to the specific rebound control preferences of each goalie. That caught me by surprise because the build of the pad has only so many layers of foam (due to weight savings) that there are only so many spots where some sort of change could be made.
What is interesting to me, about this whole line, is the fact that there is no indication that any of this will ever be on the shelves in any store. Clearly the build of the skate and the weight reduction in the goal pads can be easily introduced to a retail model. However, the fine-tuned carbon-composite blade holder (which is said to only hold a certain number of sharpenings in each blade) may never see the light of day. The same could be said of the 3D mapping of the protective gear. However, selling the protective equipment in unison with the base layer would allow anyone to benefit from the weight and design features of the equipment.
Regardless if this equipment is five months or five years away from hitting the shelves, it will be cool to see Henrik Lundqvist in a funky new set of pads and the stars of Team Canada, Russia, Sweden and USA sporting some very interesting, new equipment.

If you have recently been a victim of crime, UTPD extends our deepest regrets and we wish to assist you in every way possible. As a resource, we would like to offer the following answers to questions we often receive from crime victims.
How do I report a crime?
Call 911 in the event of an emergency. Call UTPD at 512-471-4441 to report all non-emergency crimes that take place on the university campus.
Where can I turn for additional support?
Depending on the type of crime you experience, you may need to seek medical attention, mental health counseling, or legal advice. See our list of campus and Austin-area help for useful support services.
Do I need to contact multiple law enforcement agencies?
If the offense took place on-campus, you do not need to report the crime to another law enforcement agency. We often coordinate our criminal investigations with other law enforcement agencies, so we will let you know if you need to contact non-UTPD officers for some reason.
What information is useful when I report a crime?
UTPD officers thoroughly investigate all reported crimes, and every piece of information you give us about the crime takes us one step closer to a successful investigation. It would be particularly helpful to mention the following elements when you report a crime: evidence, witnesses, suspects, and serial numbers or identifying markings on stolen property. Other information or leads are always useful as well.
Where can I find the serial number of my stolen property?
If you are uncertain of the serial number of a valuable item, you may be able to find this information in maintenance agreements, warranty cards, purchase agreements, or on packing boxes. You may also be able to obtain serial number information from the manufacturer or seller. Stolen items with serial numbers or identifying markings are often recovered through pawn shops, police arrests, or by the National Crime Information Computer, so any identifying information you can give us will vastly help in our theft investigation.
How can I provide additional information to police after I file a report?
After you report a crime, you may come across information that wasn't included in the report, such as new witnesses, values of property stolen, or additional victims. You should contact the officer who initially received your report to notify her/him of this information. Since officers work variable shifts, it is best to try to get in touch around the same time you first reported the crime. If you cannot contact the reporting officer, call UTPD at 512-471-4441 and leave your name and number for a return phone call.
Should I notify police if I find my stolen property?
Yes, you should always let police know if you recover your stolen property. A frequent problem in theft cases is that victims forget to contact police when they recover stolen property at a later date. This kind of oversight creates problems if the victim later transfers the property's ownership and the item is discovered by police.
Can I get reimbursed for property stolen on campus?
The University of Texas at Austin does not carry insurance for the theft of personal property, but you may be able to be reimbursed through your own insurance. Contact your insurance agent for possible coverage from homeowner, renter or automobile insurance. We will send a copy of the incident report to your insurance company upon their request. You may also be eligible for an income tax deduction from the loss of personal property.
Will I need to be involved in the investigation after I file a crime report?
An officer will assist you at every step of the criminal justice system, and will make sure you always feel comfortable with your level of involvement in the case. If our investigation is successful and an offender is identified or stolen property is recovered, we will need your continued cooperation. For example, you may be required to identify the property and it may be necessary to impound it until after a prosecution or investigation is completed.

The profession of lighting design is a relatively young discipline among the building design and construction fields. Although lighting has certainly been an integral component of the built environment for centuries, it's only emerged as a true design specialty in the last 20 to 30 years.
The increased sophistication of the lighting arena (both in equipment technology and application technique), coupled with heightened expectations of clients and end-users for the role of lighting in their projects, has done much to foster this growth. Once considered an obscure consulting niche or high-budget luxury, lighting design has become an accepted discipline in the project design process in many parts of North America and Europe.
Initially, lighting designers were sought to assist in high-profile, aesthetically challenging projects, where a union between technical and artistic goals was of paramount importance to the job's success. Later, lighting professionals were engaged to tackle particularly complex lighting problems — where greater in-depth knowledge of illuminating engineering was required. Then gradually they began to be included as members of the project design team from the outset, taking fuller advantage of their expertise during the early phases of development.
The lighting designer's responsibility on the project, like that of the architect, engineer, and other specialty design consultants, should not end with delivery of the final construction documents. Their active involvement in the construction administration phase can help ensure full realization of the lighting design intent, while providing the contractor with a useful resource in navigating the vagaries of a challenging application.
Laying the groundwork. The lighting designer's role in the construction administration process begins well before the contractor arrives on the scene. As with most disciplines, a lighting design's success will be determined, to a large extent, by the quality of its drawings and specifications. Realization of that design's full potential will rely on the ability of its construction documentation to coherently and concisely communicate the intent to the contracting team. Failure to adequately convey the concept is often the weakest link in the entire process.
There are many things a lighting design professional can do to help ensure the quality of this documentation, including the following:
Drawings: Lighting layouts should be clear, unambiguous declarations of luminaire placement and application intent. The layouts with circuiting, panelboard assignments and control methodologies should appear on the electrical engineer's drawings. Exact lighting fixture positions should be included on architectural-reflected ceiling plans, site plans, or elevations to assist in interdisciplinary coordination. They should indicate key dimensions and mounting information, related to structural reference points, to inform the contractor of the specifics of location.
Details: Luminaire installation details can be vital in communicating mounting intent and should be included with the drawing documentation whenever there is any doubt as to desired or proper integration. Typically, rough detail sketches showing the preferred lighting installation geometry are generated by the lighting designer and then passed on to both the architect and electrical engineer for further refinements. The architect would provide appropriate detailing that clearly defines how the fixtures are supported or how surrounding materials are effected, while the engineer may add notes or clarification regarding the routing of conduit/circuiting (see Figure). In the design-build scenario, the contractor may perform some of these tasks. This can help avoid confusion over desired techniques.
Luminaire schedules and specification: Equipment selection is the backbone of a quality lighting design. Lighting fixture specifications, whether presented in written or schedule format, should provide all information necessary to accurately bid, procure, and install the recommended products. That documentation includes luminaire type or key, acceptable manufacturers with specific catalog numbers, luminaire description and construction, voltage, lamping, wattage consumption, and any special installation- or application-specific notes.
One of the lighting designer's most important duties is to serve as reviewer of the lighting equipment shop drawings. Let's take a look at what's involved on this front.
Shop drawings. More then anyone else on the project team, the lighting designer, as prime specifier, is best suited to supply the required detail review and assessment of shop drawings. If the original lighting specifications are complete, and the contractor chooses to supply one of the recommended products, then this effort can be relatively straightforward. Often, however, issues arise that demand more attention, including the following scenarios.
Custom luminaires: Specially prepared, project-specific drawings may be necessary and could involve several rounds of review and analysis prior to final approval. The lighting designer should communicate as clearly as possible, making notes and mark-ups to identify needed refinements in drawings. It is not unusual to request finished samples for custom luminaires to determine if the intended material will meet the designer's expectations (Photo 2).
Substitutions: If permitted in the specifications, the contractor may choose to submit a substitution to a specified product. This substitution may demand more detailed scrutiny by the lighting designer in order to render a professional opinion as to its acceptability.
To facilitate a clear understanding as to what is expected from the contractor for such a submittal, the lighting designer's specification should include a detailed outline of required submittal content. This will reduce the chance of ambiguity in a substitution submittal, while expediting the process. In cases where the proposed substitution can have a critical impact on application success, there may be added submittal burdens, such as detailed lighting calculations, samples and mock-ups (Sidebar below).
Mock-ups: It is not unusual for a full-scale lighting mock-up requirement to be included by a lighting designer in the project's specification (Photo 1 above). Complex or sensitive design solutions may include variables that can only be resolved after review and analysis of an operational mock-up. Due to the compression in design schedules, and the increased popularity of design-build construction contracts, the incorporation of such a mock-up early on in the construction phase (rather than during the design phase) is not uncommon. The lighting designer will normally outline the intent of the mock-up and define the requirements for the contractor's execution of the work. Once again, open collaboration between the lighting designer and contractor is key to full realization of the mock-up's intent.
Once the shop drawings are solidified, the issue of "value engineering" may require the lighting designer to revisit design decisions in an effort to reduce project costs.
Value engineering. The term "value engineering" can have many very different meanings, depending upon one's role in the process. To lighting design professionals, it can mean an erosion in the original application intent or visual environment. To a contractor, who might even be involved in a design-build capacity, it can mean an opportunity to demonstrate to his client that he can save money on the project with creative packaging or suggested compromises. Regardless, if this process takes place during the construction phase, it can be a contentious issue.
If value engineering is deemed necessary (or desired) after the bidding process, then the lighting designer should be prepared, and positioned, to assist in the process. Often, the client is left adrift to make decisions based solely on the numbers without a full understanding of the merits (or compromises) inherent in the changes. As the one most intimate with the original lighting intent, the lighting designer should consult the client and, as appropriate, the contractor, as to the strengths and weaknesses of any value engineering alternatives put forward. Hopefully, the professional will be in a situation to offer value engineering options as well. Although agendas are often at odds during this process, a joint working relationship is the best way to sort out all the ramifications of value engineering decisions for the client (Photo 3).
The lighting designer also plays a critical role in resolving lighting-related questions from the job site.
Field questions and punch lists. Having developed the design, the lighting professional is often in the best position to safeguard the original client-approved intent, while assisting in resolving the in-field problems. Additionally, the designer may be able to exert influence directly with manufacturers in an attempt to help resolve logistical problems. Often, the specifier has developed key contacts within the lighting manufacturer organizations that can be tapped for assistance in dealing with shipping issues, scheduling deadlines, and similar obstacles that can plague the construction delivery process.
Through the appropriate channels, the electrical contractor can establish a line of professional level communication with the lighting designer so that specific assistance can be sought when needed. It is in the best interest of both the design and contracting teams to see in-field problems identified and resolved as quickly and as cost effectively as possible.
Project punch lists can be the bane of a contractor's work as a job winds down to a close. With lighting installations, it can be particularly onerous if it is generated by someone unfamiliar with the design intent or ill-informed as to the construction demands of the application. If the job has a lighting designer on the team, there is a better chance that final installation reviews will be more thorough and succinct. Lighting punch list items will likely be appropriately tempered with a more intimate knowledge of the desired result and an understanding of the expectations placed on the contractor's installation. Normally, the lighting professional will be open to contractor suggestions for resolving perceived construction-related problems or design shortcomings. On-site meetings to resolve disputed issues should be held when needed. These steps will help the project progress into the final stages.
Final project commissioning. The lighting designer and contractor must work together closely on the final focusing/targeting of the project's adjustable lighting. Dramatic, high-impact lighting designs often involve the precise choreography of accent lighting to provide the desired visual result. Retail boutiques, museum galleries, restaurants, and hotel lobbies are just a few examples of where final equipment adjustment and aiming can be pivotal to realizing the lighting potential.
This work often requires significant forethought and planning in order to avoid a costly or time-consuming effort. The lighting designer should provide a comprehensive outline for the contractor, describing anticipated work expectations and the contractor's responsibilities. This information should be provided in the construction documents so that it can be anticipated and bid appropriately.
Looking ahead. As lighting installations continue to evolve into even greater levels of application complexity — and client expectations grow ever higher — the role of the professional lighting designer will become more vital, even inevitable, during the construction process. Opportunities exist, on many projects, for lighting designers and contractors to forge lines of communication early in construction that will permit timely and thoughtful exchange of information.
The common goal of a satisfied client should be sufficient reason to take advantage of the growing presence of lighting professionals in the building construction field. Those who recognize the importance of such relationships will ultimately reap the benefits of more rewarding work.

Message from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to Gen. George C. Marshall about the Invasion of Normandy and Photographs Taken on D-Day
The historic events of June 6, 1944, D-day, are chronicled in innumerable documents in the National Archives of the United States, scrutinized and analyzed in thousands of books, and dramatized in several Hollywood motion pictures. The assault on the European continent that began that day during World War II was critically important to the Allied war effort and ultimately to the future security of all nations. Fifty years removed from the tensions of that time, one may dispassionately study the events of D-day. At the time, though, to those who crossed the English Channel and to the commanders responsible for setting the invasion plan into motion, the outcome was uncertain.
The featured document is a message drafted during the early hours of the D-day Normandy invasion by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Commander of the Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), to his superior in Washington, DC, Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff. The document captures the immediacy and suspense of that day. Eisenhower's statement reflects his lack of information about how well the landings were going, even though they were well under way at that moment. His pride and confidence in the battle-tempered men he had met the preceding night—men he was about to send into combat—is also evident. A record from the holdings of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, KS, the message is found in Pre-Presidential Papers, 1916–52.
Preparing for the Invasion
Almost immediately after France fell to the Nazis in 1940, the Allies planned a cross-Channel assault on the German occupying forces. At the Quebec Conference in August 1943, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt reaffirmed the plan, which was code-named Overlord. Although Churchill acceded begrudgingly to the operation, historians note that the British still harbored persistent doubts about whether Overlord would succeed.
The decision to mount the invasion was cemented at the Teheran Conference held in November and December 1943. Joseph Stalin, on his first trip outside the Soviet Union since 1912, pressed Roosevelt and Churchill for details about the plan, particularly the identity of the Supreme Commander of Overlord. Churchill and Roosevelt told Stalin that the invasion "would be possible" by August 1, 1944, but that no decision had yet been made to name a Supreme Commander. To this latter point, Stalin pointedly rejoined, "Then nothing will come of these operations. Who carries the moral and technical responsibility for this operation?" Churchill and Roosevelt acknowledged the need to name the commander without further delay. Shortly after the conference ended, Roosevelt appointed Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower to that position.
By May 1944, 2,876,000 Allied troops were amassed in southern England. While awaiting deployment orders, they prepared for the assault by practicing with live ammunition. The largest armada in history, made up of more than 4,000 American, British, and Canadian ships, lay in wait. More than 1,200 planes stood ready to deliver seasoned airborne troops behind enemy lines, to silence German ground resistance as best they could, and to dominate the skies over the impending battle theater. Against a tense backdrop of uncertain weather forecasts, disagreements in strategy, and related timing dilemmas predicated on the need for optimal tidal conditions, Eisenhower decided before dawn on June 5 to proceed with Overlord. Later that same afternoon, he scribbled a note intended for release, accepting responsibility for the decision to launch the invasion and full blame should the effort to create a beachhead on the Normandy coast fail.
Leaving headquarters at Portsmouth, Eisenhower first visited the British 50th Infantry Division and then the U.S. 101st Airborne at Newbury; the latter was predicted to suffer 80 percent casualties. After traveling 90 minutes through the ceaseless flow of troop carriers and trucks, his party arrived unannounced to avoid disrupting the embarkation in progress. The stars on the running board of his automobile had been covered, but the troops recognized "Ike," and word quickly spread of his presence. According to his grandson David, who wrote about the occasion in Eisenhower: At War 1943-1945, the general
wandered through the formless groups of soldiers, stepping over packs and guns. The faces of the men had been blackened with charcoal and cocoa to protect against glare and to serve as camouflage. He stopped at intervals to talk to the thick clusters of soldiers gathering around him. He asked their names and homes. "Texas, sir!" one replied. "Don't worry, sir, the 101st is on the job and everything will be taken care of in fine shape." Laughter and applause. Another soldier invited Eisenhower down to his ranch after the war. "Where are you from, soldier?" "Missouri, sir." "And you, soldier?" "Texas, sir." Cheers, and the roll call of the states went on, "like a roll of battle honors," one observer wrote, as it unfolded, affirming an "awareness that the General and the men were associated in a great enterprise."
At half past midnight, as Eisenhower returned to his headquarters at Portsmouth, the first C-47s were arriving at their drop zones, commencing the start of "The Longest Day." The confusion and carnage of the landing efforts as troops in full kit (combat gear) waded through choppy, blood-stained water amid the deadly, deafening thunder of enemy fire must be deeply etched in the memory of those who took part in or witnessed the assault. During the invasion's initial hours, Eisenhower lacked adequate information about its progress. After the broadcast of his communiqué to the French people announcing their liberation, SHAEF switchboards were overwhelmed with messages from citizens and political officials. SHAEF communications personnel fell 12 hours behind in transcribing radio traffic. In addition, an Army decoding machine broke down.
According to his secretary-chauffeur Kay Summersby, as recounted in David Eisenhower's book, "Eisenhower spent most of the day in his trailer drinking endless cups of coffee, 'waiting for the reports to come.' Few did, and so Eisenhower gained only sketchy details for most of the day about the British beaches, UTAH and the crisis at OMAHA, where for several hours the fate of the invasion hung in the balance."
In the early morning message reproduced as this article's feature document, Eisenhower reported to his superior officer General Marshall that preliminary reports were all "satisfactory." At that time, he had received no official information that the "leading ground troops are actually ashore." The incomplete and unofficial reports, however, were encouraging.
His comments concerning the weather speak to the one crucial factor of the invasion over which he held no control. Meteorologists were challenged to accurately predict a highly unstable and severe weather pattern. As he indicated in the message to Marshall, "The weather yesterday which was [the] original date selected was impossible all along the target coast." Eisenhower therefore was forced to make his decision to proceed with a June 6 invasion in the predawn blackness of June 5, while horizontal sheets of rain and gale force winds shuddered through the tent camp. The forecast that the storm would abate proved accurate, as he noted in the document.
He closed his brief message on a confident note, describing the steely readiness of the men he sent to battle, recalling the resoluteness in their faces that he termed "the light of battle . . . in their eyes." This vivid and stirring memory doubtless heartened him throughout the day until conclusive word reached him that the massive campaign had indeed succeeded.

Loulou de la Falaise, Yves Saint Laurent Muse, Dies [Pictures]
Loulou de la Falaise, Yves Saint Laurent Muse and Collaborator, Has Passed Away; A Visual Tribute
Loulou de la Falaise
>> Loulou de Falaise, who collaborated with and inspired Yves Saint Laurent for over three decades, died Saturday at her country house in Boury-en-Vexin, northwest of Paris. She was 63.
The Pierre Berge-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation announced her passing, citing an unspecified "long illness" as the cause of death. WWD's sources report that de la Falaise was diagnosed with cancer last June but wanted to keep her health a private matter. She is survived by her husband, Thadee Klossowski — who she married in 1977 in a Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche turban and harem pants — and their daughter, Anna.
De la Falaise met Saint Laurent at 1968, when she was 21, at a tea party given by the designer Fernando Sanchez. She began working for YSL in 1972, designing jewelry and hats for his couture and ready-to-wear collections and producing up to 2,000 pieces of jewelry a year until 2002, when he retired. Later, she collaborated with Oscar de la Renta on his jewelry collections. Her final designs — a line of costume jewelry she created over the Summer — go on sale next month in the shop at the Majorelle Garden in Marrakech.

Adjusted EPS of $0.61 per share and adjusted EBITDA of $66 million, excluding restructuring and certain non-cash co-investment charges
Third-quarter results included $4 million of Restructuring charges as well as $4 million of non-cash co-investment charges. There were $37 million of Restructuring charges and $48 million of non-cash co-investment charges in the first nine months of 2009. Restructuring charges relate primarily to severance and also include integration costs from the 2008 acquisitions of The Staubach Company and Kemper's. Restructuring charges are excluded from segment operating results although they are included for consolidated reporting. The non-cash charges are primarily impairments of our investments in real estate ventures and are included in Equity losses at the consolidated and segment reporting levels.
"We are pleased with our performance during the third quarter, particularly in our annuity businesses, and with the results of our continued focus on cost control," said Colin Dyer, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. "While real estate fundamentals remain generally weak, we see initial signs of recovery in some markets and industry sectors, and our focus remains on growing market share while providing the superior service that our clients have come to expect."
LaSalle Investment Management's third-quarter revenue was $61 million, compared with $81 million in the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, revenue was $144 million compared with $261 million in the first nine months of 2008. Equity losses of $5 million and $52 million, primarily from non-cash charges related to co-investments, were included in third-quarter and year-to-date 2009 revenue, respectively. Advisory fees were $61 million in the quarter, down $10 million from the third quarter of 2008 or 14 percent, 10 percent in local currency. Third-quarter 2009 Advisory fees compared favorably with Advisory fees of approximately $60 million in each of the first and second quarters of 2009 despite valuation decline impacts and market fee pressures.
The business recognized $4 million of Incentive fees in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of liquidating a matured fund, and $12 million in the first nine months of the year. Asset purchases, a key driver of Transaction fees, continued to be limited by the cautious view of the market.
LaSalle Investment Management raised $1.5 billion of equity from clients during the third quarter of 2009, $3.1 billion year to date, and assets under management were $37.6 billion.

Ron was professional and trustworthy. His crew were hardworking,pleasant and well mannered. We actually lived in our condo as it was being painted (2 weeks). It was logically planned and we were able to fend very well. His price was on the expensive side, but definitely worth the quality work that he and his team provided. I would highly recommend him!

Ron and his team are a pleasure to work with and they do excellent work. Ron gives a thorough cost and time estimate and they completed the job on time. We have a larger home with full sun exposure and Ron suggested paint choices that would stand up to the Sanibel sun and salt air conditions. He is a true professional and really knows his trade well. He and his crew are polite and considerate and keep the work site very clean. Ron works side by side with the crew ensuring the job is done to high standards and that it stays on schedule. In addition to painting, they replaced rotted boards and rebuilt a wood shutter. It looks amazing! They also painted my garage doors, which had been stained. Ron worked with me to create a faux finish look that is beautiful. He is a man of many talents. I could go on an on about all of Ron's wonderful attributes. He is a true professional whose main goal is to make the customer happy. I am very happy with the result and with my experience with Ron and his team. My house looks great and I know it was done well. Thank you!

So documents prove Hobbit was never going offshore - who is going to apologize to the Union movement first?
Well, well, well. What do we have here then...
A later email between Ms Blackwood and Mr Brownlee showed that New Line Cinema did not plan to film The Hobbit in a different country, despite its concerns about the labour dispute.
Government warned in October 2010 that the films could be moved offshore if the dispute was not resolved.
As Tumeke has always argued, this was a manufactured crisis.
Threatening to leave was always a negotiating tactic. Once the great deal maker John Key had invested so much political treasure by blaming the Unions, he had no choice but to give Warner Bros everything they bloody wanted because the stakes he had created meant Key had to agree to any corporate welfare they demanded.
So much for the great deal maker. He got painted into a convention center by a one-armed bandit. I wouldn't trust Key to negotiate
You just know in their private jet back to Hollywood those Warner Bros executives laughingly referred to us as Shire Folk. We got played like chumps.
Remember how the Union protest march with 20 000 taking to the streets to protest harsh new employment law was totally eclipsed by the manufactured crisis at the hobbit march?
When will the mainstream apologise to NZ?
You would need to go back to the 1951 lockout to see that level of anti-union hysteria. Remember Helen Kelly and Robyn Malcolm faced death threats over this?
Remember that? Death threats.
But there's no admission from the right wing of NZ that their feral hatred of Unions is to blame, oh no. Any criticism of the Hobbit is shouted down by National as 'hobbit hating'?
Let's get this straight shall we? I'm not a 'Hobbit denier'. I don't 'hate hobbits' Mr Key - I hate cronyism, corporate welfare and anti-union hysteria.
This whole sorry smelly mess where we re-wrote our labour laws for a foreign corporation and the ease with which so many NZers were manipulated into becoming a lynch mob should really kick some kiwis up the bum for their unquestioning consumption of mainstream media spin.
Stupid hobbitses.
We should be 100% Muddled Earth.

"The Children's Hospital is a place to hope and a place to heal for children with unique needs," said Dennis Quebe, Chapel Electric CEO.
Ranked as one of the top 10 children's hospitals in the nation by Child magazine, the facility treats patients for various ailments ranging from cancer treatments to bone marrow and organ transplants to broken bones. At its core is a nonprofit teaching and research hospital.
Earl Swensson Associates, Nashville, designed the 616,785-square-foot hospital. The project cost $172 million and took three years to build.
Patients were officially moved into the self-contained facility in 2004. Although the main hospital is adjacent, patients never need to leave the building to receive any treatment.
Bill Wood, senior project manager at Chapel Electric, noted that this was one of the largest projects at Vanderbilt University and in the Nashville area.
Story of Chapel
Founded in 1946, Chapel Electric has evolved into a leading electrical and technology contractor that routinely works well beyond the Ohio border. Chapel Electric's affiliate companies include Romanoff Electric in Toledo, Ohio, and Chapel-Romanoff Technologies in both Dayton and Toledo.
"Chapel decided the key to expanding and prospering in today's ever-changing construction marketplace was to be flexible enough to provide competitive construction services to select clients regardless of the geographical location of the project," said Greg Ross, Chapel Electric president.
The company considers this its joint-venture technique, and it is why a contractor from Ohio ended up being a major player on a massive project in Tennessee.
Chapel Electric has joint ventured on a national level with some of the nation's oldest and largest privately held electrical contractors in the healthcare, automotive and printing press market segments. Chapel Electric has also found a way to deal with the ever-changing landscape of the voice, data and video market.
In 2003, Chapel-Romanoff Technologies (CRT) was formed. This new company combined two of Ohio's oldest contractors, Chapel Electric and Romanoff Electric, and aligned the two in a way that would support and enhance one another's resources.
"This strategic alignment allowed us to differentiate ourselves while maintaining our ability to provide an integrated electrical and special systems technology total-facility solution," Ross said.
Tennessee connection
Chapel Electric began to work on Children's Hospital long before ground was broken. The company provided preconstruction services, which included cost analysis, value engineering and a constructability analysis. Chapel Electric worked with Smith, Seckman Reid Inc., also of Nashville, who was the mechanical, electrical and plumbing consulting engineer.
"The freestanding hospital is filled with the latest, state-of-the-art technology and information systems to provide the best healthcare services for the children and it offers a variety of family amenities," Quebe said.
Chapel Electric was responsible for the installation of the major electrical systems and services within the facility. The distribution system alone comprised 12 miles of raceway and 50 miles of cable.
Best Access Systems served as the security system subcontractor to Chapel Electric, while South Western Communications installed the state-of-the-art audio and video systems. Other subcontractors collaborated on the project.
Other systems Chapel Electric oversaw or installed included distribution, lighting and power, nurse call, emergency signaling, personnel and asset tracking, public address, security and closed-circuit television, telemedicine and video conferencing, patient surveillance, intercom, audio-video presentation, and CATV/MATV. As illustrated by this project, today's contractors are routinely called on to do much more than provide power.
Mike Hutcherson, manager of electrical services for Vanderbilt University Medical Center said the project progressed smoothly, there were no issues with the installation, and start-up operations were executed on schedule.
The fast-track project's actual time frame for construction was only 24 months. Construction was started before final design documents were completed. Adverse weather conditions, including one snowfall that basically shut down Nashville for 24 to 36 hours, added more pressure.
"Managing a construction project is a detailed skill requiring procedures, communication and, most importantly, planning," said Bill Wood, Chapel Electric project manager. "Though each project site is unique, this project presented an additional challenge than just being constructed on an existing campus site. It was surrounded on all four sides by existing structures and streets that had to be kept open to the public."
From the mouths of babes
The power distribution and lighting systems are impressive with some 13,000 fixtures and 10,000 receptacles installed.
Hutcherson said the lighting package really stands out: "The children got involved in picking out the lights so there is definitely an array."
Vanderbilt University's leadership team came up with the idea and contractors didn't mind at all. Allowing the children to participate gave the project a personal, hospitality-type touch, prevalent in today's healthcare designs. The children chose the lighting fixtures throughout the building, including the stars and moons in the patient rooms.
The little things
The lighting design, inspired in part by the patients themselves, is one way in which this project shows heart. Other ways are less tangible, but were just as important in achieving its overall success, like a host of team members who worked consistently and effectively together.
"We do not rely on chance to provide our customers with the quality they need and deserve. All of our employees understand our focus on the customer and our commitment to quality," Ross said. EC

Every summer we take on a few university students here at the office. It's a boring summer job, but it pays a lot better than most summer jobs students can get. One guy has come back every summer throughout his entire university career.
His passion is sports and he took a degree program in some sort of sports psychology thing. He plays a lot of sports and had volunteered his sports psychology services to a lot of athletes over the years. He graduated this spring, with his master's.
And now ….. he's being bridged in as a permanent federal public servant in our unit.
"Are you crazy?" I asked him. "What happened to your passion? All that work you put into the sports psychology thing? Your dream job of helping athletes achieve their maximum potential?"
"Ya," he said sheepishly. "I talked to my parents (who are both public servants) and decided that it would be too difficult to find a job in my field.
I'm very disappointed. He was such a bright lad. So full of life. Such a brilliant future ahead of him. So much potential. And now…..pfft!
XUP Jr. has never had the slightest interest in the federal public service — or in any kind of office job. I'm glad. She wants to be an entrepreneur; be her own boss. I'm thrilled. Probably that makes me an irresponsible parent for not at least trying to guide my child into a safe, secure career choice. I don't know.
Self-employment is very risky and there's no pension or security of any kind.. But I think the time to take risks is when you're young. And if she starts now to sock away a bit of her income every month, she'll have a tidy sum when she gets older.
Anyway, I think the whole environment of the public service and all those other so-called secure workplaces is going to change drastically over the next 10 to 20 years. It's just not sustainable with an ever-aging population.
This year, the government took away our severance pay this year and the union let them. This will mean big savings in the long run. I think our pensions are next. They'll start chipping away at the pensions – increase employee contributions, increase years-of-service eligibility. At the same time, the public service will continue to be reduced until there are only a few administrators left in each department and all the work will be done by independent contractors.
And I think a lot of other businesses will have to follow suit. Keeping employees on payroll, contributing to their benefits and paying them a pension after they retire is really expensive. Not to mention all the headaches associated with a stable of full-time, permanent employees.
So, it seems to me that being self-employed is the way to go. And, as more and more of the population becomes self-employed, more organizations will have to spring up to afford group medical and dental benefits to the self-employed – maybe even group pension schemes and income insurance. Who knows?
I've known several people who were made redundant from their safe, secure jobs. When they weren't able to find another job, they ended up creating their own jobs in order to earn a living. Now they all say that getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to them.
So, I think if I was a young person today just starting out, I'd risk it, wouldn't you?

Press '6', plant it under water.See that box of air around the plant? Thats because liquid is block based.That will happen to ANY odd-shaped block, including stairs and pillars and thin walls. I can do strange hacks to render the block as if it was submerged in the liquid, but Id rather not since itd still stop water from passing through it.How do I deal with this? Do I even have to?
I'm growing fond of this databyte ideaEver since I started this project, Ive had the idea of an extra byte of data per block. Its not a very original idea, granted, but it gives me a lot of room to do cool stuff. Itd fully solve the water problem as I posted about previously as well.The downside is that it doubles the size of the maps, and that level polling might get a bit slower, but the advantages are numerous.Heres an example of the bit layout in this byte:0-2: Liquid type. (8 values)..0 = air..1 = water..2 = lava..3-7 = reserved (oil? goo?)3: isFlowing (needed by the liquid code)4-7: Block shape (16 values)..0 = full..1 = half north..2 = half south..3 = half west..4 = half east..5 = half up..6 = half down..7 = slope north..8 = slope south..9 = slope west..10 = slope east..11 = pillar up/down..12 = bar east/west..13 = bar north/south..14-15 = reservedBlocks that can only come in one shape (the bushes for example) can use the last four bits for custom data, like keeping track of the age.
Yeah, download client will come once it hits beta. I want to force people to use the applet for now since it's probably going to be the buggiest one.
Hell, Skyward Descent is pure win!

NEW YORK (AP) The Brooklyn Nets worked overtime to pull out the opener of their new-look rivalry with the New York Knicks, winning 96-89 on Monday night to tie their city rivals for first place.
Jerry Stackhouse, wearing the No. 42 Jackie Robinson made famous in Brooklyn, made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 3:31 left in overtime as the Nets controlled the extra period of a playoff-like game that neither team led by more than seven.
Brook Lopez had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Deron Williams added 16 points and 14 assists as the Nets improved to 7-1 in their new home and tied the Knicks atop the Atlantic Division at 9-4.
Carmelo Anthony had 35 points and 13 rebounds, but was only 10 of 16 at the free throw line. Tyson Chandler finished with 28 points and 10 boards, but no other Knicks player was in double figures.

President Barack Obama says he has no intention of backing down on his plan to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who attend college or serve in the military.
Obama maintained his support for the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act during an interview with Doctora Isabel, a psychologist who has doled out family advice on TV and radio programs for years. The interview aired Friday on Univision Radio, the radio branch of the Spanish-language broadcasting company.
"I know that a comprehensive reform is not on your plate right now," Isabel told the president in the interview. "I do understand that, but when would you be able to exercise your leadership in terms of pursuing the enactment of the DREAM Act? It is my dream to have that."
Obama is in the midst of debt negotiations with Congress to nail down a deal before the looming Aug. 2 deadline, and in an interview aired the same day, he told NPR's Michel Martin that he wants a budget plan for his 50th birthday, coming up in a few weeks. But in his Univision interview, Obama insisted the DREAM Act has not gone off his radar.
"Well, keep in mind we are pursuing it right now. We were pursuing it last year," he told Isabel. "We should be welcoming (the undocumented students) and so I've consistently said that I am a strong supporter of the DREAM Act."
A version of the DREAM Act was first introduced in 2007, and legislative descendants of the proposal have been tossed around Congress since then. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid re-introduced the bill in May, but it failed yet again when past GOP supporters – including Texas Sen. John Cornyn – withheld their votes.
Obama said he will keep trying, but politics and party lines will continue to be the administration's biggest obstacle.
"We've had problems with Republican members of Congress, some of whom previously supported … the DREAM Act but for some reason, because of politics, have pulled their support from it," Obama told Isabel. "And so we need to rebuild that support and put pressure for members of Congress to do the right thing on this issue."

The Hope College Great Performance Series returns for the 2012-13 season with a range of cultural events highlighting the best in dance, music and theatre.
From the explosive movements of Rennie Harris PureMovement to the sounds of the nine-time Grammy-winning Emerson String Quartet, the series features a range of events suitable for anyone and everyone to experience.
The season will open on Friday, Sept. 14, at 7:30 p.m. at Dimnent Memorial Chapel with the DePue Brothers Band, a group of classically trained musicians with bluegrass roots. Two members of the legendary DePue family, along with colleagues from the Philadelphia Orchestra, merge such diverse musical genres as classical, bluegrass, Americana and folk.
On Thursday-Friday, Oct. 11-12, at 7:30 p.m., the Knickerbocker Theatre will host the premiere hip-hop dance company in the world. Rennie Harris PureMovement has brought hip-hop onto the main stage and travelled throughout the world, including as official ambassadors for the United States. In a society where hip-hop is often portrayed as a violent, undisciplined counterculture, Rennie Harris turns these conceptions around and expands the boundaries of hip-hop. "The New York Times" has said, "[Rennie Harris] knows how to move bodies in space, how to layer his phrases and, above all, how to make dancers look good."
The Eldar Djangirov Trio will bring a young jazz pianist steeped in the classics to Dimnent Memorial Chapel on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. Known to his fans simply as "Eldar," Djangirov was signed to Sony Classical at the age of 17. Already known for his prodigious pyrotechnics and knowledge of the bebop tradition, Djangirov has since worked with a "who's who" of jazz legends, including Dr. Billy Taylor, Dave Brubeck, Michael Brecker and Wynton Marsalis. "Downbeat Magazine" has said that "His command of his instrument is beyond staggering."
The series will resume in 2013 on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p.m. at Dimnent Memorial Chapel with the Suspicious Cheese Lords. Despite their group's humorous name, the a capella male singers actually specialize in early choral music while also seeking out many forgotten works. "The Washington Post" reviewed a recent performance by noting that the ensemble "sang with an ensemble precision and a sensitivity to the music's varied styles…a mind-expanding experience."
On Tuesday-Wednesday, Feb. 19-20, at 7:30 p.m., the series will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's classic novel with the L.A. Theatre Works unique live radio performance of "Pride and Prejudice" at the Knickerbocker Theatre. The group's hybrid use of technology keeps this venerable art form thriving. Through the years, the distinguished company of actors has included John Lithgow, Hilary Swank, Anne Heche, Ed Asner, Paul Giamatti, Neil Patrick Harris and Laurence Fishburne. One of the performances will be recorded and broadcast on a local public radio station at a later date. "L.A. Theatre Works is a national theatrical treasure," "The Philadelphia Inquirer" has said.
The season will close on Tuesday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m. at Dimnent Memorial Chapel with the Emerson String Quartet. Across three decades, the ensemble's achievements have included nine Grammy awards, more than 30 acclaimed recordings since 1987, three Gramophone Awards and the coveted Avery Fisher Prize. "The Times" of London has said that "with musicians like this there must be some hope for humanity."
Individual and season tickets are now available. Season subscriptions are $63 for adults, $50 for senior citizens, and $140 for a family (no matter how many children). The subscriptions are such a savings that they are equivalent to seeing two shows for free. Individual tickets are $18 for regular admission, $13 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under. Both individual tickets and season subscriptions are available at the Hope College ticket office or by calling (616) 395-7890.
