In August 1896, prospectors George Washington Carmack, Skookum Jim, and Dawson Charley discovered gold on Rabbit Creek (renamed Bonanza Creek) in the remote Klondike region of Canada's Yukon Territory. News of the Klondike discovery spread slowly over the next year until miners began to return with their fortunes. In July 1897, the S.S. Portland arrived in Seattle, Washington, with more than a ton of Klondike gold on board. This event touched off the great Klondike Gold Rush as thousands of people who dreamed of becoming wealthy began booking passage on steamers heading north from Seattle and other West Coast ports. Upon arriving at the northern end of the Inside Passage, however, these adventure-bound stampeders found no easy route leading to the still distant Klondike region. The most direct route involved climbing over either the White Pass Trail from Skagway, Alaska, or the Chilkoot Pass Trail from Dyea (pronounced Die-ee) to Bennett Lake, the headwaters of the Yukon River. Stampeders then had to build a boat to navigate 500 miles down the Yukon River. Their final destination was Dawson City, a town that developed near the gold fields. Between 1897 and 1900 more than 100,000 people, from many nations and from all walks of life, set out on the arduous journey to the Klondike. No more than 40,000 actually reached Dawson City, however, and only a few obtained the wealth that they dreamed of along the route.

1. What is the 48 Hour Film Comedy Project?It's your chance to stop talking and start filming! The premise? Filmmaking teams have just one weekend to make a short film. All creativity—writing, shooting, editing and adding a musical soundtrack—must occur in a 48 hour window beginning Friday evening at 7:00pm and ending Sunday at 7:00pm. The following week, the completed films are screened to an eager audience.
2. How much does it cost?
The registration fee is for the entire team and includes two free tickets to the screenings (which are given to the team leader).
In the United States, registration fees vary from $125 to $175 per team, as follows:Normal Price
- Early Bird registration: $150
- Regular registration: $175
Discount: A $25 discount will be given to teams which have participated in a normal 48 Hour Film Project during the previous 12 months.
For the registration fee outside the United States, please visit the webpage for that location.

3. When will the 48 Hour Film Comedy Project come to my city?The dates for each city are listed on our 48 Hour Film Comedy Project website. If we do not have listed dates, then the dates have not yet been determined. If you want to be the first to find out when the 48 Hour Film Comedy Project is coming to your city, sign up for your city's newsletter.
See Also
4. What are the films about?That's up to the filmmaker; however, each team must select the genre for its movie in a random drawing 15 minutes before the start of the competition. In 2015 there are 14 genres. In addition, teams are given a character, a prop and a line of dialogue that must appear in their film.
See Also
5. Who sees the films?The films screen to sold-out audiences in every city we've visited. Of course the filmmakers, actors, family and friends are there to enthusiastically support the premiere of the weekend's work. But also supporters of the local film community, and discriminating viewers who want to see something new—something raw and alive—are there to feel the creative energy.
6. Who are the filmmakers?The 48 Hour Film Comedy Project is open to all filmmakers, pro and novice alike. Rules state that all team members (crew and cast) must be volunteers. Most teams consist of film and video professionals. And teams have attracted some top talent on both sides of the camera. Martin Freeman, Penn of Penn and Teller, Dennis Farina, and Nick Clooney have all appeared in 48HFP films.
See Also
7. Is there a limit to the number of people on a team?No. Our smallest team was just one person—he sets up the camera then runs around to act. Our largest team to date was a team from Albuquerque with 116 people and 30 horses! The average, though, is about 15 people per team.
8. Am I allowed to be on more than one team?Yes, you're allowed. We hope you can make the scheduling work out!
See Also
9. How long are the films?
The films are short; they must be a minimum of 4 minutes and a maximum of 7 minutes long Short is good. Not only are shorter films tighter and usually more interesting, they are more marketable.
See Also
10. Where and when are they shown?On the first few days following the competition deadline, the movies are screened at a grand premiere in a local movie theater. A guaranteed standing-room-only audience of tired, excited filmmakers, crews and friends are in attendance to cheer on the films.
11. How is the event advertised?The event is advertised by word of mouth, on the web, and via local press. Local filmmakers and organizations are our most vocal supporters and do a great job spreading the word. In each city, the 48 Hour Film Project has generated considerable interest from local and national media. From CNN to the Washington Post and LA Times—we've had coverage in hundreds of media outlets to date.
12. What should I do with my film after the competition?Get it out there! Enter it into festivals, play it in public screenings, upload it to websites, get it on television, and show it to anyone you can. Be sure you abide by any restrictions in the Team Leaders's Agreement.
See Also
13. May I show a modified version of my film?
Yes, presuming that the showing adheres to the Team Leader's Agreement that you signed when entering the 48 Hour Film Comedy Project. If it is a modified version of a 48 Hour Film Comedy Project film, please include a title card and a mention in the end credits that say:
The concept for this film developed during the 48 Hour Film Comedy Project. www.48hourfilm.com/comedy

The stretch of Interstate 55 where Monday's two fatal accidents occurred has been the scene of dozens of accidents over the past couple of years.
Ongoing roadwork near the Des Plaines River Bridge has led to constant backups.
Police confirm that prior to Monday's incidents, the area has seen 58 crashes in the last year. There were three fatalities.
They include the June 11 death of an Osceola, Indiana, man who was killed when he was involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer truck in the northbound lanes near Arsenal Road.
On July 17, a 68-year-old woman was killed in a six-vehicle accident in the northbound lanes near River Road, and a week later, a 61-year-old Arlington Heights man was killed in his Audi TT sports car just south of Interstate 80 in the southbound lanes.
Residents of nearby towns like Elwood and Channahon say the I-55 issues have spilled into their communities.
The communities have complained about motorists jumping off of I-55 to leapfrog the backups, causing ongoing safety concerns in their communities since the beginning of the project began.
State officials claimed a few weeks ago that accidents were down in the construction zone due to increased warning signs, including smart signs that give motorists the actual travel times through the zone.
The project is expected to continue through October.

Mitch Albom
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com |
I have never won an Olympic gold medal, so it is not for me to tell someone what he should do with his. But certain "experts" last week didn't let that stop them. They strongly suggested Paul Hamm, the U.S. Olympic gymnast, should take his gold medal, press it into the chest of his South Korean competitor and say, "Here, this is yours. You keep it."
These pundits suggested this not because the rules demand it - we learned in Athens that gymnastics rules are like the New England weather; wait a few minutes and you see something new - but rather, as one columnist put it, "Hamm would reap benefits he cannot yet imagine."
Or, as another writer said, "such a gesture would carve his name into the marble of sports history" and give Hamm "the instant book contract, the big commercial endorsements and speaking engagements for big money to the end of time."
Well, in that case, what's he waiting for?
Look, I could no more do a handspring than I could leap a building, but I know this much: The kid from Wisconsin did nothing wrong, did everything right, and had the most biggest week of his life stained by a bunch of incompetent judges.
Telling him he can make up for it with endorsement contracts is not exactly good medicine.
Then again, it is pretty much what the Olympics have come down to in this country, isn't it? As the Athens Olympics draw to a close, you will see countless features on "the big winners" of these Games. And I promise you, there won't be an archer or a cyclist among them - even if one reaped gold.
The "winners" will be determined by those who can parlay their success into something the average American truly can relate to: money, fame and TV appearances. It's as if the two weeks of athletic competition is just another form of "American Idol," in which the big winner gets to hawk a soft drink or make a five-minute appearance on "Will and Grace."
Well, if those are the spoils awaiting Paul Hamm if he gives up his medal, I say, Paul, hang onto that baby tight. I saw nothing in his disciplined performance or humble demeanor to suggest Hollywood or Madison Avenue is the reason he has flipped and tumbled most of his life.
He came for gold. And he got it.
Too bad he can't enjoy it.
Hamm's "controversy" was not of his making. He won the all-around gold in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion, then later learned the judges had erred with the level of difficulty on South Korea's Yang Tae-young's parallel bar routine. The tenth-of-a-point mistake - if awarded after the final scores - would have nudged Yang into first place.
But that's all after the fact. The mistake occurred in the middle of competition, and once you change one thing during a competition - such as who is in the lead - you change everything. Maybe Yang would have pressed more in first place. Maybe Hamm would have been more intimidated. In any case, you can't say all would have been the same.
What is laughable is the International Gymnastics Federation asking Hamm to surrender his medal. Since those officials can't pick competent judges, they ask Hamm to clean up their mess.
Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee, which has always treated the Games as a throne and the athletes as its subjects, flatly refused a better idea, to issue a second gold medal for Yang. Said IOC president Jacques Rogge: "We are not going to give medals for so-called humanitarian or emotional reasons."
Right. We don't want humanity or emotion in the Olympics, do we?
The expression goes, "You break it, you bought it." Paul Hamm didn't break it. If he wanted to exchange his medal, that would be his business. But to tell him that by doing so he'd be a bigger hero - and more rich and famous - is to put all the things the Olympics are not about ahead of what they are. By refusing, Hamm seems to be the only one clear about what an athlete is.

Detail photo of a handmade Amish farmer's hat
I�ve been capturing images that tickle my brain ever since my parents handed me my first camera in 4th grade- a well-loved old Brownie Starflex. My �thing� is lighting�the more natural, the better. Back-lighting and worm�s-eye-views have become near-obsessions. As an art major at Goshen College years ago, the best advice I got there from a favorite professor was to �Play with it!�... sage advice which I still follow today. This may mean lying down in a ditch to see some brown-eyed Susans from below, and there�s the fun. My greatest joy in photography is its way of etching moments in my memory. That singular ray of light or fabulous color which would otherwise get forgotten becomes like an old friend when I process or view the image...

(Bloomberg ) model predator drones are selling out on Amazon.com Inc.'s website as parody reviews highlight how the toys can help children hone killing skills, mocking a controversial U.S. practice.
Only one of the $49.99 military-style toy jets is available for purchase on Amazon's site, which is brimming with assessments laced with dark humor. "You can't spell slaughter without laughter," one pithy joker wrote.
President Barack Obama's targeted use of drones to kill suspected terrorists has come under fire from both Democrats and Republicans who view the practice as inhumane. While Obama didn't mention drones in his State of the Union address this week, he said he will continue a policy of "direct action" and vowed to make the anti-terrorism program more transparent.
"Nothing teaches my child about how to murder enemy combatants silently and invisibly from the sky with no risk," one review on Amazon begins. "Teaching our children to be familiar with a silent, faceless killing machine is the way to educate our children about the importance that is war."
As protest movements adapt to the digital age, Amazon is just one of many vociferous anti-drone forums on the Internet. Groups on Facebook Inc.'s social network such as Question Your Government, while protesting the policy, are also posting links to the critiques on Amazon's site. Posts on Twitter Inc.'s micro-blogging service, including one from TechCrunch Inc. founder Michael Arrington, are also drawing attention to the reviews.
Change.org Petition
Change.org, a grass-roots community activism website that rose to prominence during Obama's first presidential campaign, is gathering signatures on a petition asking Maisto, a maker of die-cast replicas, to discontinue the Fresh Metal Tailwinds Predator Drone toy.
"I will not buy this shameful toy, nor teach children to hate," the petition says. "There is no glory in murder."
Rick Berman, a director of product development at Maisto, declined to comment. Craig Berman, an Amazon spokesman, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Amazon's conditions of use posted on its website say that the Seattle-based company reserves the right to remove or edit reviews, which it doesn't regularly examine.
Consumers have flocked to Amazon's review section as a forum for political satire before. In October, the user comment section of an Avery Dennison Corp. binder listed on the e- commerce site became the subject of a similar outbreak. Reviewers used the site to make light of a comment made by then- Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney during a debate. Romney had said he drew upon "binders full of women" to help fill cabinet seats as governor of Massachusetts.
Occupy Registry
The following month, Occupy Sandy, an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street encampment in lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park during the financial crisis, created wedding registries on Amazon to solicit gifts of everything from blankets to batteries to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy.
This time around, Amazon users are addressing the drone controversy with sarcasm. Notes one review rating Maisto's toy five out of five stars:
"A must for every American child. I only wish this toy came with small appendages to scatter about the back yard to make it more life-like."
Recommended on Amazon for children age 3 and older, Maisto's model military drone has a 6-inch wingspan, and would scale up to an aircraft with wings stretching 48.5 feet. The toy is a replica of the RQ-1 Predator, an unmanned aircraft that the U.S. Air Force has used in combat over Afghanistan, Pakistan, Serbia, Iraq and Yemen, according to the product description on Amazon.
"It's like I'm sitting in the White House with my very own kill list," another five-star review reads.

Start Planning Your Event
What Clients are Saying…
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Every thing was PERFECTION! Thank you. We only have praises. The food was tended to until very late: there was no rush to dismantle things. There was not a single empty can or bottle left behind. The staff in the office and at the event was so friendly, yet professional and attentive. We are glad we have discovered Puff 'n Stuff. You have mastered your trade!
Abelardo A. & Scott M.
Your staff was truly a dream come true! They were extremely attentive and on the ball from our first contact. Kelly McVeigh truly helped make my evening magical and all of your staff from the supervisor and chef to the servers and bartenders were absolutely professional as well as fun. I couldn't have made a better choice. Among all of the caterers I talked to, Puff 'n Stuff is number one in our book. We plan to work with you in the future if we ever plan another event.
Tanisha N.
All I can say is WOW. I never knew catered food could taste so good! My parents and husband were all blown away. I got so many compliments on how fantastic the food was. In fact, I spent too much time eating my own wedding dinner rather than visiting with my guests. No regrets here though – the food was that good! I found the wait staff very professional and they tended to my every need. I HIGHLY recommend them to any bride. You will NOT be disappointed!
Absolutely amazing! The quality of food, the presentation, the value all exceeded any expectation we may have had. We worked with Lauren throughout the planning process and Lindsay the day of, both of whom were top notch. My husband as well as all our guests raved about how great the food was. We originally chose Puff 'n Stuff because of their uniqueness and that did not disappoint. Best caterer in Tampa Bay hands down.
If the quality and taste of your food is important to you, this is the place to go! My guests still talk about how delicious the food was! Heidi and Heather were great to work with. They helped me choose a menu that met our expectations, yet allowed us to stay within our budget. As the bride and groom, we were constantly taken care of and always had someone checking up on us. Thank you for the amazing service and food!
Puff 'n Stuff went way beyond my expectations! All of my guests LOVED the food and couldn't stop talking about it! They took care of everything! It was so nice to not worry about anything. They even dealt with a downpour of rain and they still came through! I definitely recommend them to everyone no matter what the occasion is!
Puff 'n Stuff was not only the most amazing food, but the unbelievable service and attention to detail. They took everything we want and made it happen. My husband and I were looking for a very personalized menu, and were worried that it wouldn't be presented the way we had hoped. They paid attention to everything we asked for and made it beautiful.
The event was a complete success! Thanks so much for all of your help and attention to detail. We will certainly keep you at the top of our list for catering services the next time we find a need in the Orlando area.
I just wanted to take a minute and shoot you an e-mail to thank you and your staff for all the wonderful work that you do. My relationship started with your company a few years back when my wife and I got married. Mary Brumley was a life saver and made the whole event spectacular. As she can attest I am very detail oriented and out of all the vendors Mary and your staff was the one that I had no concerns on delivering a wonderful presentation and great food.
Chris L.
When I recently had to plan an open house for my new employer, Emily and her team came to my rescue. With a strict budget, an estimated 50 guests and two CEOs with very different tastes, I knew this project was my initiation into the family. One wanted to go full out catering and one was cool with Publix chicken tenders. Given our company is one of the most prominent IT firms in the Orlando and Jacksonville markets… I knew the V.I.P. treatment was a given.

Conditionals and
Compiler support

Brief Explanation
I have lost count of how many times people (including very experienced programmers) have approached me wondering why on earth code like the following fails to parse:
foo :: Monad m => Bool -> m Int foo x = do if x then return 1 else return 2
When I explain that they have to indent the
else at least one more step, they invariably stare at me in disbelief and vow to henceforth
stay far away from languages where layout has semantic significance. It can actually be somewhat embarassing, and it certainly can
put beginners off.
Strictly speaking, the issue is not tied to the
do-notation, but that is where it (almost?) always shows up.
Change the syntax for conditionals to
exp →
ifexp1 [
thenexp2 [
i.e., add optional semicolons before
then and
else, making the above example legal.
This has been recently added to jhc, GHC and Hugs, and so far it has not caused any problems.
The second optional semicolon is the important one. The first one just adds a little more convenience.
Possible addition (this addition is not part of the proposal as accepted for Haskell 2010): Jon Fairbairn suggests that if an optional semicolon is added before
then, it would be consistent to also add one before
of in
case expressions, allowing:
do case whatever of blah -> bluh blah' -> bluh'
- Conditionals in the Haskell 98 Report
- Somewhat related to NondecreasingIndentation
- Would address a layout issue that manifestly trips up a lot of people, and many experienced Haskell programmers find very annoying.
- Trivial to implement
- Independent of the layout rule.
- It has been pointed out that improved error reporting could alleviate this issue to some extent, without any language change. An alternative might thus be to add a section to the report with recommendations concerning "best practices" for reporting errors related to this issue and other that are known to cause confusion.
- People might actually write these optional semicolons literally in their code, thus relying on this hack, making it harder to fix the problem in a better way later.

Because all Code Articles are divided into Parts, it's important to refer to the appropriate Part for your particular installation. This becomes especially significant when dealing with installations covered by Art. 680.
Part II of Art. 680 provides installation requirements for permanently installed pools, which must also meet the requirements of Part I of the Art. [680.20]. Part IV of Art. 680 focuses on Spas and Hot Tubs, which must also meet the requirements of Parts I and II of the Article except as amended. The amendments for outdoor installations are in Sec. 680.42; indoor installations are covered in Sec. 680.43 [680.40].
A hydromassage bathtub, which is covered by Part VII of Art. 680, is not the same thing as a spa or hot tub as far as the Code is concerned. In general terms, hydromassage bathtubs follow the same installation requirements as a regular bathtub except for the requirements in 680.70 through 680.74. These sections deal with the installation, protection, and bonding of the electrical equipment servicing the hydromassage bathtub. Hydromassage bathtubs are not subject to the hot tub and spa requirements of Parts I, II, and IV of Art. 680.
The key items addressed in Part II of Art. 680 are motors, lighting, and receptacles as well as the associated feeders and branch circuits. The equipotential bonding requirements have been revised significantly in the 2008 NEC, so pay particular attention to bonding.
You must install the branch circuit conductors for pool-associated motors in rigid metal conduit [Art. 344], intermediate metal conduit [Art. 342], PVC conduit [Art. 352], or Type MC cable [Art. 330] listed for the location (sunlight-resistant or for direct burial) [680.21(A)]. EMT [Art. 358] is allowed for the portion of the raceway installed on or in a building.
For any of these wiring methods, an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor sized per 250.122 is required — but it's never allowed to be smaller than 12 AWG [680.21(A)(1)]. Other wiring methods or materials are allowed for specific reasons listed in 680.21, as long as the insulated equipment grounding conductor rule is followed [680.21(A)(1)]. For instance, liquidtight flexible metal conduit or liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit with approved fittings are allowed where flexibility is necessary [680.21(A)(3)].
Pool-associated motors are allowed to be cord connected if the cord is no longer than 3 ft and contains an equipment grounding conductor sized per 250.122. For outdoor spas and hot tubs, the cord must be GFCI protected, and it can be up to 15 ft long [680.42(A)(2)].
In the interior of a dwelling unit or an accessory building associated with a dwelling unit, you can use any Chapter 3 wiring method [680.21(A)(4)]. Any raceway containing branch circuit conductors must contain an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor [680.21(A)(1)].
Receptacles directly related to the water circulation system must be located at least 10 ft from the inside walls of the pool, or not less than 6 ft if they meet all of the following requirements:
- Consist of a single receptacle.
- Employ a locking configuration.
- Are of the grounding type.
- Have GFCI protection.
Any other receptacles must be at least 6 ft from the inside walls of the pool [680.22(A)(2)].
At least one 15A or 20A, 125V receptacle is required to be located between 6 ft and 20 ft from the inside walls of a permanently installed pool at a dwelling unit with a maximum height of not more than 6½ ft above the grade or floor [680.22(A)(3)] ( Fig. 1 on page 28).
In addition to the receptacle requirements just mentioned, 680.22 includes specific requirements for:
Luminaires (not underwater).
Ceiling fans.
Switching devices.
Other outlets (e.g., remote-control, signaling, fire alarm, and communications circuits).
Underwater luminaires
You must install an underwater luminaire so the top of the lens is at least 18 in. below the normal water level of the pool, unless it's listed and identified for use at lesser depths [680.23(A)(5)]. Transformers used to supply underwater luminaires must be listed as a swimming pool and spa transformer — and be of the isolating-winding type with a grounded metal barrier between the primary and secondary windings [680.23(A)(2)]. Branch circuits that supply underwater luminaires greater than 15V must be GFCI protected [680.23(A)(3)].
In 680.2, the NEC defines three general categories of underwater luminaires. Specifics, such as the wiring methods allowed to the forming shell and bonding requirements, are included for each type as follows:
- Wet-niche [680.23(B)].
- Dry-niche [680.23(C)].
- No-niche [680.23(D)].
Branch circuit wiring
Branch circuit wiring to supply underwater luminaires may use rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit, PVC conduit, or reinforced thermosetting resin conduit [680.23(F)(1)].
If installing raceway on buildings, you can use electrical metallic tubing. Within buildings, you can use electrical nonmetallic tubing, Type MC cable, electrical metallic tubing, or Type AC cable. These must contain an insulated equipment grounding conductor sized per 250.122 but no smaller than 12 AWG [680.23(F)(1)].
Where connecting to transformers for pool lights, you can use liquidtight flexible metal conduit or liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit in individual lengths not exceeding 6 ft [680.23(F)(1) Ex].
The branch circuit conductors on the load side of a GFCI or transformer for underwater luminaires must not occupy raceways or enclosures containing other conductors, unless the GFCI protected conductors are within a panelboard or the other conductors are [680.23(F)(3)]:
GFCI protected,
Grounding conductors, or
Supply conductors to a feed-through type GFCI.
Enclosures for junction boxes, transformers, or GFCIs
The junction box that connects directly to the luminaire forming shell must provide electrical continuity between metal raceways and grounding terminals within the junction box [680.24(B)(1)]. In addition, it must be:
Equipped with threaded entries or a nonmetallic hub.
Constructed of copper, brass, suitable plastic, or corrosion-resistant material approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
Provided with at least one more grounding terminal than the number of raceway entries [680.24(D)].
Provided with a strain relief for the cord [680.24(E)].
For luminaires greater than 15V, the junction box must be at least [680.24(A)(2)]:
4 in. above the ground or pool deck or not less than 8 in. above the maximum water level ( Fig. 2 ).
4 ft from the inside wall of the pool, unless separated by a solid fence, wall, or other permanent barrier.
For luminaires less than 15V, you can use a flush deck box if [680.24(A)(2)]:
An approved potting compound prevents the entrance of moisture.
The flush deck box is at least 4 ft from the inside wall of the pool.
In 680.25, the feeders on the supply side of panelboards supplying branch circuits for pool equipment covered in Part II of Art. 680 are covered. Feeders may be installed in rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit, PVC conduit, or reinforced thermosetting resin conduit [680.25(A)].
If installing feeder raceways on or within buildings, electrical metallic tubing is allowed. Within buildings, you can also use electrical nonmetallic tubing. Aluminum conduit is not permitted in the pool area where subject to corrosion.
An insulated equipment grounding conductor must be included with the feeder conductors between the grounding terminals of the equipment panelboard and the applicable service equipment or source of a separately derived system. Size the equipment grounding conductor per 250.122, but not smaller than 12 AWG. If fed from a separately derived system, this conductor must be sized in accordance with Table 250.66, but not smaller than 8 AWG.
If the feeder runs to a separate structure, then an insulated equipment grounding conductor must be installed with the feeder conductors to the disconnecting means at the separate structure [250.32(B)].
Equipotential bonding
The requirements in 680.26 are easier to understand if you remember the purpose of equipotential bonding is to prevent differences in potential. Essentially, you connect all of the metallic parts around the pool, outdoor spa, or hot tub with a conductive pathway ( Fig. 3 ).
In 680.26(B), you'll find seven types of "parts" to bond:
Conductive pool shells
Unencapsulated rebar bonded by steel tie wires may be used to bond the conductive shell. If this is not present, a copper conductor grid must be constructed.
Perimeter surfaces
An equipotential bonding grid must extend 3 ft horizontally beyond the inside walls of a pool. That includes unpaved, paved, and poured concrete surfaces.
Metallic components
Bond all metallic parts of the pool to the equipotential grid.
Underwater metal forming shells
Bond metal forming shells and mounting brackets for luminaires to the equipotential grid.
Metal fittings
If a metal fitting is 4 in. or larger and penetrates into the pool, bond it to the equipotential grid. This includes ladders and handrails.
Electrical equipment
Bond metal parts of pool covers and metal parts of electrical equipment associated with the water circulating system, such as water heaters and pump motors, to the equipotential grid.
Exception: You don't have to bond metal parts of listed equipment incorporating an approved system of double insulation. If installing a double-insulated water pump motor, provide a solid 8 AWG copper conductor from the bonding grid. This will be available for any future replacement motor that might not be double-insulated.
Ground and bond pool water heaters per equipment instructions. If those instructions conflict with Art. 250, contact the manufacturer.
Metal wiring methods and equipment
Bond all metal-sheathed cables, metal-sheathed raceways, metal piping, and fixed metal parts to the equipotential grid.
Exceptions: 1) Where separated from the pool by a permanent barrier; 2) Where located more than 5 ft (horizontally) from the inside walls of the pool; and 3) Where located more than 12 ft (vertically) above the maximum water level.
In addition, a minimum conductive surface area of 9 sq in. must be installed in contact with the pool water [680.26(C)]. This water bond can consist of metal parts that are required to be bonded in 680.26(B).
Specialized equipment
In 680.27, you'll find requirements for underwater audio equipment, electrically operated pool covers, and deck area heating. For electrically operated covers, the associated motors, controllers, and wiring must be at least 5 ft from the inside wall of the pool unless separated by a permanent barrier. The motor and controller circuit also must be GFCI protected.
Putting it all together
If you take a quick look at Art. 680 Part II, you might wonder how you can keep from drowning in detail. The answer is to sort out the requirements that apply to the specific equipment you're installing, rather than trying to understand and apply all the details at once.

The seventh inning stretch turned into a seventh inning stench at an Oakland A's game Tuesday night.
The baseball team dealt with yet another sewage spill late in the A's 2-1 walk-off win against the Los Angeles Angels at the O.co Coliseum. And the foul smells and water seeping out of the bathroom end of the dugout sparked renewed calls for the team to leave or modernize its aging, 45-year-old stadium.
On Wednesday morning, two plumbers were in the bathroom, snaking out runoff water that overflowed from a toilet because the automatic sensors were on the blink, said Dave Rinetti, the vice president of stadium operations.
Even though the spillage was easily cleaned up, the story was getting so much buzz in the media that someone started a new Twitter handle - @ColiseumSewage - whose motto was "overflowing with love for the Oakland A's."
Going with the flow...
— Coliseum Sewage (@ColiseumSewage) September 18, 2013
"Get it together Bud Selig," tweeted Eitan Cramer, in reference to the commissioner of Major League Baseball, which was sued by the city of San Jose for barring the A's to move south to Silicon Valley. "This team needs a new stadium."
MORE: Sewage Saga Takes Backseat to A's Walk-Off Win
Players thought it was pretty embarrassing, too.
"Another O.co Coliseum flub there," reliever Jerry Blevins told CSN Bay Area, who described a "pretty good coating" of sewage on the dugout floor when he returned after pitching the top of the seventh.
This sewage snafu comes after an embarrassing ballpark stink in June, which broke out when a massive sewage backup spilled into both clubhouses, the umpires' room and the managers' offices, as well as all the bathrooms on the clubhouse level.
That leak sent the Seattle Mariners and A's running around in towels and seeking higher ground at the nearby Oakland Raiders' locker room. A hazmat crew had to come in and inspect the area for E-coli and crews had to install new carpeting.
Before the sewage saga erupted on Tuesday, the team announced it would remove the tarps from the top level of the grandstand for its first round of the playoffs, making more seats available to fans. The fan reaction was immediate. Tickets sold out in two hours. Now, the Coliseum's capacity for the division series games will increase from a regular-season maximum of 35,067 to 48,146.
That news was heartening to owner Lew Wolff, who was upset that on a regular game night, the stands were nearly empty. The A's average for September is just under 18,000 fans per game compared to the average MLB attendance of roughly 31,000.
There is no evidence that the stink has impacted attendance levels - especially since the sewage problems are cropping up away from the bleachers - but even players say they're turned off by the ongoing odor issues.
MORE: A's Walk-Off Win
After Tuesday's game, infielder Jed Lowrie told CSN Bay Area he came down after the win to find four maintenance workers mopping up the dugout.
"It was kind of repulsive, honestly," he said.

Advent Poem 2010
by Virginia Knowles
In these still and focused moments, embrace his everlasting love for you.
Quiet your soul to ponder, wonder, and worship the Amazing One.
Quiet your soul to ponder, wonder, and worship the Amazing One.
Savor his sacrifice: Heaven to Earth, an infinite journey of grace
When he came to rescue, release, and renew you.
In sacred response, draw near with a whole heart, a deepening communion.
Be still in his presence, be filled with his presence
Father, Son, Holy Spirit: God with us.
Day after day, time with him is your most precious treasure.
Be the fruitful branch abiding in the Vine.
Be the little lamb in the Good Shepherd's tender care.Be the beautiful Beloved in the Lover's embrace.
Ask, and he will surely show you how.
I have a hard time just sitting quietly to pray or read the Bible, meditating on God's goodness and listening to what he is trying to tell me. Part of this is because I'm a busy mother of 10, but I can't use this as an excuse. I think sometimes I just avoid it. Maybe I just don't want to face myself in the light of his face because I'm too proud to humble myself and admit I've done wrong. Maybe I don't trust him and I'm afraid of what he'll tell me to do or that he will reject me. Maybe I have forgotten how very good and kind he is, that his plans for me are so much better than any that I could concoct. Whatever the reason, there is always a way back to his open arms. If he came this far to save us, don't you think he'll go to the same great efforts to draw us back when we've wandered? And when I do sit still to wonder and worship, I wonder why I waited so long! Do you need help learning how to quiet down and listen to God? Read here: Busy, Dizzy & In a Tizzy?
I wrote this new poem last night, so imagine my delight to find that this prayer by Henri Nouwen was part of a responsive reading at Lake Baldwin Church this morning for the start of Advent:
Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas. We who have so much to do seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day. We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us. We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom. We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence. We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light. To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus!" Amen

Two Kansas State University distinguished professors will be recognized for their excellence in research with an award that includes a $10,000 grant for ongoing research efforts.
Xiuzhi "Susan" Sun, distinguished professor of grain science and industry, and Michael Kanost, distinguished professor of biochemistry and head of the department of biochemistry, will be recognized Wednesday, Nov. 9, with Higuchi-University of Kansas Endowment Research Achievement Awards. The honors include a plaque and a $10,000 grant to be used for research materials, summer salaries, fellowship matching funds, hiring research assistants or other research support.
Takeru Higuchi, a former distinguished professor at KU, and his wife, established the Higuchi-KU Endowment Research Achievement Awards in 1981. These awards recognize long-term research accomplishments of faculty at Kansas Board of Research Universities. Awards are given in four categories: humanities and social sciences, basic sciences, biomedical sciences and applied sciences.
Sun will receive the Irvin Youngberg Award for Applied Sciences for her work as a world authority on biopolymers, especially the production of chemicals and materials from renewable feedstocks in ways that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Her research focuses on how agricultural feedstocks -- like plants and grains -- or bioenergy by-products can be used to create bio-based materials that are safer and more durable. Her research has been supported with more than $12 million in grants from federal, state and industrial funding sources.
Sun, whose research has led to eight patents, also serves as director of K-State's Bio Materials and Technology Laboratory and co-director and founder of the Center for Biobased Polymers By Design. She joined K-State in 1996.
Kanost will receive the Olin Petefish Award in Basic Science for his work in the areas of molecular insect science, insect immune systems and biochemistry, areas in which he is one of the world's leading experts. A fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, his research deals primarily with the proteins and other substances present in the blood of insects and the formation of insect exoskeletons.
Kanost's work contributes to a better understanding of the role insects play in the transmission of human diseases, as well as the control of insect pests. His research on caterpillars, mosquitoes and beetles has been supported with more than $15 million in grants from several scientific agencies.
Steve Warren, KU vice chancellor for research and graduate studies, said Sun, Kanost and the other two award winners are being recognized for their level of scholarly productivity, and it is important to encourage that effort.
"Kansas has outstanding professors in a wide range of fields," Warren said. "There have been 120 awardees over the years, each distinguished by important contributions to the state and the world."
The Higuchi award winners will be recognized at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Education Pavilion at the Lied Center of Kansas in Lawrence.

Byrrh Cocktail
1/3 French Vermouth (1 oz Noilly Prat)
1/3 Canadian Club Whisky (1 oz 40 Creek Barrel Select)
1/3 Byrrh (1 oz Byrrh 1875 Rare Assemblage)
Shake (stir, please) well and strain into cocktail glass
Holy crap, is this good!
It tastes like a high proof, delicious burgundy* wine.
I've read descriptions of Byrrh that said it tastes a like Italian Vermouth. It doesn't, really. It tastes more like a light and not very sweet port.
Of all the cocktails I've made so far from the Savoy, this one seems the most dangerous. It doesn't taste strong at all, it seems like you're drinking a slightly sweet glass of wine.
*By Burgundy here, I mean a fine wine from the French wine producing region of Burgundy, not the stuff that comes in jugs.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

A 22-year-old Boston College student from New Jersey was struck by two taxis and killed as she and her stepsister tried to cross an Upper East Side street late Thursday, authorities and her family say.
Kelly Gordon, of Brielle, N.J., was on York Avenue at East 84th Street when she was hit by a taxi heading south on the avenue around 11:30 p.m., according to the NYPD.
After the first impact, she was hit again by another taxi heading north in the opposite lane.
Gordon's devastated family told NBC 4 New York that she was in Manhattan to interview for jobs, and had been out to dinner earlier in the evening celebrating interviews that went well. Gordon was the oldest of five siblings.
"She was so great and had so much going for her," said a childhood friend, Jillian Bucklew.
Barb Jones, vice president for student affairs at Boston College, said in a letter to students Friday that Gordon was studying marketing and finance in the college's Carroll School of Management. She had been set to graduate this year.
Gordon was unconscious when crews arrived and was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital with severe head trauma, police say. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Both taxi drivers were at the scene when officers arrived, police say. No one has been arrested, and the investigation is ongoing.

A. Consider yourself fortunate and take the overload as a compliment. Obviously the company believes in your ability to accomplish multiple tasks in your internship. You'll master new skills, and time will fly when you're busy. Some interns complain that they have nothing to do except to sit around and watch everyone work or go fetch coffee for the office staff. (See the Forbes.com May 7 article on "Interning When All They Ask You To Do Is File.") Don't panic or complain to your supervisor or other staff about your assignments. Instead, follow these tips to manage your time effectively:
- At the end of every day, make a list of the next day's assignments, arranging them in order from most important to least important. If you're not sure, ask your intern manager to help you prioritize your responsibilities.
- Check to see if your assignments are the same ones that were in the description for the internship. If you see lots of new additions, it's perfectly fine to question them. Don't feel shy about asking for advice. Remember, people like to be asked for help because it makes them feel important.
- After you organize your list, allot a specific amount of time to each item. Note deadlines when necessary. Make sure that you do the top items to the best of your ability. You can probably do the least important items quickly. If you run out of time to complete the list, you could shift the bottom items to the next day.
- Make sure to get to your internship early every day, even if it's only 15 minutes before the rest of the office. You'll make a great first impression, which is the lasting impression. People will automatically expect that you'll do an excellent job since you're so enthusiastic that you even arrive early. Then, if you don't get everything done, it won't be a disaster because you've already established yourself as a thoroughly competent person.
- Maintain a positive attitude even if you feel frantic about the pile of work on your desk. However, it's acceptable to sit down and talk with the intern manager, explain the overload, and ask if some items could be deleted from the assignment list. Emphasize that your priority is to do to a really good job. But with so many assignments, your work could be compromised.
- Take advantage of your many assignments as a way to prove that you have multiple skills. You'll be more valuable to the company

If you have an account with any Blizzard game or Battle.net, it would be wise to change your password now. Blizzard revealed on its site that Battle.net and other Blizzard accounts have been compromised. Attackers have likely gained access to user email addresses and passwords. CEO and co-founder of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime, claims that North American Battle.net passwords were also accessed, but they were all encrypted and scrambled, which should make it difficult for a hacker to break into anyone's account. Still, if you value your security, you should switch your password. No billing addresses or credit card info was stolen, as far as Blizzard knows.
Mike Morhaime, CEO of Blizzard:
"….This week, our security team found an unauthorized and illegal access into our internal network here at Blizzard. We quickly took steps to close off this access and began working with law enforcement and security experts to investigate what happened. At this time, we've found no evidence that financial information such as credit cards, billing addresses, or real names were compromised. Our investigation is ongoing, but so far nothing suggests that these pieces of information have been accessed."
"Some data was illegally accessed, including a list of email addresses for global Battle.net users, outside of China. For players on North American servers (which generally includes players from North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia) the answer to the personal security question, and information relating to Mobile and Dial-In Authenticators were also accessed. Based on what we currently know, this information alone is NOT enough for anyone to gain access to Battle.net accounts."
"We also know that cryptographically scrambled versions of Battle.net passwords (not actual passwords) for players on North American servers were taken. We use Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) to protect these passwords, which is designed to make it extremely difficult to extract the actual password, and also means that each password would have to be deciphered individually. As a precaution, however, we recommend that players on North American servers change their password. Please click this link to change your password. Moreover, if you have used the same or similar passwords for other purposes, you may want to consider changing those passwords as well."
"In the coming days, we'll be prompting players on North American servers to change their secret questions and answers through an automated process. Additionally, we'll prompt mobile authenticator users to update their authenticator software. As a reminder, phishing emails will ask you for password or login information. Blizzard Entertainment emails will never ask for your password. We deeply regret the inconvenience to all of you and understand you may have questions. Please find additional information here."
"We take the security of your personal information very seriously, and we are truly sorry that this has happened."
If you've ever played any Battle.net games including StarCraft, WarCraft, World of WarCraft, Diablo (III, especially), or other Blizzard games, we advise you to change your password. It's better to be safe than sorry in situations like this. If you're interested in beefing up your security across the board, Andrew wrote up a guide to password manager apps the other day.

Here's the enticing book trailer that will help pull you into the opening of More Than This, Patrick Ness' pretty definitively stunning new novel coming in October from Candlewick Press. It's shaping up to be one of my favorite novels of the year.
Patrick Ness, I hasten to add, is the author of the Chaos Walking trilogy (The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask And The Answer, Monsters of Men) and the standalone novel A Monster Calls. So if you haven't read him yet, you've got some catching up to do.
