When you are pulling hundreds of feet of cable for dozens of circuits in a big job, it's critically important to properly identify all cabling. For years, electricians have done this with phase tape or other identification products. But there's still potential for confusion during installations and inspections.
That's why Encore Wire Ltd., McKinney, Texas, decided to expand its line of color-coded wire and cable to NM-B, THHN and XHHW-2 building wire, where each wire size now comes in a different color. Encore Wire introduced its colored wire and cable for the commercial market in 1999 to help contractors with installation and inspection, simplify inventory management and provide a safer, more efficient work environment. With the cable for larger commercial jobs, each conductor comes in a different color.
Encore Wire's efforts have not gone unnoticed: The panel of judges for the 2002 EC&M/CEE News magazine Product of the Year Award and readers of the magazines selected Encore Wire's new product line for this year's Platinum Award.
The company's newest line of color-coded cable was selected as this year's winner by electrical contractors and other end users on the judging panel at the Electric West 2002 trade show and online voters at the EC&M and CEE News magazines' Web sites. The product line beat out several dozen other products in the Product of the Year competition.
Encore began manufacturing color-coded wire for the residential market in December 2001.
The company now colors all of its 12/2G NM yellow and 10/2 GNM orange wire, after numerous requests from electrical contractors and distributors, said Bill Kincaid, marketing manager for Encore Wire. Vincent Rego, Encore Wire's CEO said customers wanted a safer method of identifying wire and cable on the job. Several years ago, he and Dan Jones, the company's president, were at a meeting with electrical inspectors, maintenance engineers and electrical contractors in Columbus, Ohio, and attendees said they were paying electricians $50 per hour just to wrap colored tape around conductors to identify them. Soon after returning from the meeting, Encore Wire began test runs of colored feeder cable.
"The safety engineers loved it because over time with the heat or cold, the tape tends to drop off," Rego said. "When they come back in for maintenance or upgrading, the tape might not be on. They had to start from scratch to see what was hot and what was not. "Making the colored wire is so much safer than having it all black. It's a little more expensive because you make just a little more scrap. Productivity is not as great as running all black all the time. From the safety viewpoint, we had been told that quite a few people grab a hot wire and get killed."
Rego started making colored nonmetallic wire after hearing similar feedback from the field.
"John Boyle, our rep in Indianapolis, was at a meeting with quite a few inspectors. They said, 'The colored feeder cable is a brilliant idea, why don't you do it with the nonmetallic?' We had never thought of that. They said some electricians would put in 14 AWG where they should have put in 12AWG. If it were colored, it would be very easy for the inspectors to see what was in there. He mentioned it in the morning, and that afternoon we made a few changes and started to ships some wire with the colors. It went over like hotcakes." Bill Kincaid, marketing manager for Encore Wire says from a marketing perspective the colored wire differentiates the company from competitors.
"This is slightly more costly for us to manufacture, however we sell our products at the same market prices that our competitors sell black commercial wire and white residential," he said. "This is one of the many tools that we utilize to separate ourselves from the competition in the fiercely competitive building wire market." Encore also promotes its ability to cut, parallel and deliver colored reels to job-sites anywhere in the U.S. in three to four days in most cases.
In explaining his selection of the colored wire as Product of the Year, a Pittsburgh, Pa.-based general contractor, said, "In residential wiring, there is no longer any question on, 'Did I use the correct gauge?' I think this is the clear winner." Another voter, a Kentucky electrical distributor, said many of its contractor customers first saw Encore Wire's new line of colored cable in a photo display in its counter area, and that the installation photos convinced the contractors to try it on their own jobs.
"It really created a buzz," said Sharon Butler, Richards Electric Supply Co., Louisville, Ky. "The colored wire makes the job look professional and neat. If someone has not seen it on a job before, they need to. They will be using it on their next job." The EC&M/CEE News magazine Product of the Year competition, now in its third year, was developed in 2000 to honor excellence in new product development in the electrical industry.

The election did nothing to slow the racial hatred directed at President Obama, Micahel H. Cottman writes at BlackAmericaWeb.
It was bad enough that conservative blowhard Ann Coulter called Obama a "retard," but now that Obama has soundly thrashed Mitt Romney to re-claim the White House, angry bigots are coming out of the shadows.
Take Denise Helms, a 22-year-old California woman who was living in complete obscurity until last week's racial meltdown.
"Another 4 years of this nigger," Helms wrote on her Facebook page on Election Night. "Maybe he will get assassinated this term…"
Helms' bigoted comments went viral instantly and she became a dubious celebrity of sorts overnight.
I'm not surprised by Helms' racist rant on Facebook. And she's not alone.
Helms is probably saying publicly what many conservatives are saying — or thinking — privately, much like Romney's infamous secret video where he told a group of wealthy donors that "47 percent" of Obama's supporters are mooching off the system and do not take personal responsibility for their lives.
Sadly, many conservatives will never see Obama as a brilliant Harvard Law School graduate, a caring father and husband, a compassionate visionary who defied the odds to win election to the White House — twice. Many Republicans will only focus on race — America's first African American president who has been rudely reduced to the N-word.

I note here $\mathcal{D}'$ the space of all distributions and $\mathcal{S}'$ the space of tempered distributions, I am considering the following question:
Let $u \in \mathcal{D}'$ or $\mathcal{S}'$, I want to know general conditions such that we know there exists an inverse of $u$ for the convolution operation, meaning a distribution $v$ such that $u*v$ and $v*u$ can be defined and: $$u*v = v*u = \delta$$
When does a solution exist? When is that solution unique and can we describe all the solutions when it is not?
Does it change the problem to only consider right or left-inverse of $u$?
Thanks in advance.


text: Will AJA focus on offering another and fresher perspective to America's abysmal domestic news sources? [Al Jazeera]Al Jazeera - one of the best cable news networks in the world - has always had a tough time in the US. It's long been derided by conservatives here as a "terror network" and propaganda organ. It's been widely denounced by publicity-seeking politicians for airing messages from al-Qaeda.Its reporters have been imprisoned in the Guantanamo gulag for years before being released after having never been tried or convicted of any terrorist ties. Others have been targeted by US forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq, shot at, had missiles fired at them, and even killed. As a result - despite massive lobbying and advertising campaigns - most major cable and satellite television network in the US have refused to offer Al Jazeera's English-language service to their audiences ever since its inception six years ago. Instead, it's clearly been blacklisted and made almost impossible to find on America's airwaves. Now, in the most American of solutions, the pan-Arab news leader has gone ahead and simply bought its seat at the media table, with the purchase of Current TV, a low-rated cable channel founded by former US Vice-President AlGore and his partners seven years ago. For the relatively small sum of $500m, it has just bought entree into at least 40 million cable-ready living rooms all across the US. Welcome to America, Al Jazeera! Sounds good, right? And it is, both for American audiences, starved for real news about what's going on in the world around them but plagued instead with a surfeit of gossip, celebrity doings and opinionated bloviators from both the right and left on such putative cable "news" channels such as Fox and MSNBC, and for Al Jazeera itself, which will only extend its global influence by finally gaining a foothold in two crucial American marketplaces - that of commerce, of course, but also that of ideas. Moreover, this is an excellent time for any entity interested in making an impact in the increasingly dismal US cable news environment. Fox News, which has long been the industry leader in ratings, has lost huge audience share since the re-election of its bete noir Barack Obama. Fox stars like Sean Hannity are reportedly "haemorrhaging viewers" - Hannity has lost nearly half of his audience since the election, with the biggest drop in ratings coming in the coveted 24 to 54-year-old demographic, which had been one of his strongest groups of viewers. Al Jazeera English And with both Fox and MSNBC still largely focused on opinion and chat, Al Jazeera America's only "real news" competitor among major domestic cable channels is the weakened and crisis-ridden CNN, now newly under the helm of ex-NBC executive Jeff Zucker, who is expected to transform it soon into more of an entertainment vehicle modelled on his previous success with the Today Show. Still, some US media observers question whether Al Jazeera has, as Brian Stelter phrased it in the New York Times: "The journalistic muscle and the money to compete head-to-head with CNN and other news channels in the United States." What a joke! The last time I checked, Al Jazeera's owners weren't strapped for cash. And really, how much "journalistic muscle" does one need to compete with CNN these days - not to mention the braying heads of such opinionated and politicised "news channels" as Fox or MSNBC? Judging from their most recent efforts (such as completely misreporting the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, for example) what little journalism is being practised at outlets such as CNN and Fox these days is, shall we say, far from muscular! Is it any wonder that "the television sets of White House officials and lawmakers were tuned to the channel during the Arab Spring?" Inquiring minds wanted to now, after all! Meanwhile, "ordinary" citizens like me had to search out a live stream on the internet if we wanted to be informed. Still, the outlook is not entirely rosy for Al Jazeera's entry into America. For one thing, the powerful Time-Warner cable system, America's second largest cable company with 12 million subscribers in New York, the largest media market in the US, used the occasion of the sale to drop its carriage of Current. That means AJA is not yet guaranteed access to Time-Warner's subscribers, unlike those of such other major distributors as Dish, DirecTV, Comcast, Verizon and AT&T, which did consent to the acquisition. Although Time Warner executives said the channel wasn't removed for political reasons, and that their decision had more to do with Current's low ratings, many were quick to see a conspiracy and politics at play, and a firestorm of protest rapidly spread through social media. Late on January 3, as it continued, Time Warner Cable issued a statement that opened the door to carrying Al Jazeera America in the future. "We are keeping an open mind, and as the service develops, we will evaluate whether it makes sense, for our customers, to launch the network," the statement read. Now the smart money says that the dispute more likely a money issue, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it settled soon, resulting in AJ America on cable in NYC as well. The final challenge for Al Jazeera, of course - the proof of the pudding, as it were - will come when we see the tenor and quality of the programming AJ America produces. Will its executives focus on offering another and fresher perspective to America's abysmal domestic news sources, in the mode of Russia Today or the BBC World News, now available in 25 million US homes after a recent deal with Time Warner Cable? Will it try to fill the gap in international news instead? Will it attempt to do both? It's too early to tell. For now, it's enough simply to be able to say, at long last, "Welcome to America, Al Jazeera!"

Twitter to Stay Free, For Now
That's what you get for "thinking out loud." The owners of micro-blogging service Twitter have been doing just that for some time, publicly mulling over ways to monetize their popular free service.
Recent out loud speculation caused the blogosphere to explode, suggesting that the site was going to start charging users (companies, specifically) for the service, because, well, exploding is what the blogosphere does best.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone pulled back the reins on this one a bit this morning, in an official blog post, assuring users that the service would stay free. "It's important to note that whatever we come up with, Twitter will remain free to use by everyone--individuals, companies, celebrities, etc," wrote Stone. "What we're thinking about is adding value in places where we are already seeing traction, not imposing fees on existing services."
Adding value? Recent traction? What does this mean, exactly? Despite all of this out loud speculating, the company is staying tight-lipped. "We are still very early in the idea stage and we don't have anything to share just yet despite a recent surge in speculation. When we do, we'll be sure to let you know."Originally posted to AppScout.

Split Collection: Hang Lounger
Split The Common Collection is the first part of an ongoing exploration into the unit. That is taking one product, in this case a sheet of plywood, and see how much useable yield you can get from it. From a single 5x5 sheet of plywood I was able to get the components to build a set of 6 chairs. I did the same exercise for tables and shelf concepts. Through splitting, pinching, interlocking and triangulation thin components yielded great structure, and light weight.

In January '99 Readers' Quiz, B.B.B. states the main fuse "did exactly what it was designed to do," by taking "the overload from an incoming problem." However, fuses only respond to problems on their load or outgoing side.
In another response, E.D. states: "The maximum current-handling ability of standard nonrenewable cartridge fuses is some 10,000A—before it's destroyed…If the main were increased to one with a higher short-circuit ampacity, then the branch circuit fuse would blow, while the short circuit flows through the main without interruption."
This implies the trip current for a fuse exposed to a fault is equal to its Interrupt Current rating (e.g. 10,000 A.I.C). This comment approaches total electrical nonsense. Such notions are not only erroneous, but could also be life threatening.
Unfortunately, as a young project engineer for a major medical center, my BSEE program never covered power distribution and protection coordination. Fortunately, I learned much about power systems through other sources, notably EC&M. At that time, none of our electricians new the meaning of the interrupt rating of protective devices. In a medical center, coordination is essential to prevent minor faults from placing 20 surgeries and critical care areas in total powerless blackness. For those who rely on EC&M for "continuing education," such obvious errors as those presented above should be edited out of this and other columns.
Ralph Crawford, P.E.
Forensic Electrical Engineer
and Electrical Contractor,
Palo Alto, Calif.
Our Response
Mr. Crawford brings up some good points, as they relate to proper terminology or lack thereof.
E.D.'s statement implies overcurrent performance, as opposed to short-circuit current interrupting performance, which should be obvious. Nevertheless, we assumed the readers' understanding of the difference between the two. We should have inserted the words "short-circuit current" for clarification.
Yet, E.D.'s latter statement, about replacing main fuses with one having "increased short-circuit ampacity" actually clarifies his first statement.
Yes, there is a difference between overload and short-circuit current. An overload is the result of too much load current through a given load or in a given circuit. A short circuit is the result of a line-to-line or line-to-ground contact initiated by an accident or a breakdown of insulation. The latter results in a higher magnitude of current flow. Basically, E.D.'s contention is the problem stems from a fault condition, and series-rated devices would prevent the problem from happening. Of course, this is based on the limited information in R.A.M.'s question.
B.B.B.'s statement, about the main fuse "took the overload from an incoming problem," also seems to be based on the limited information of the original question. Crawford is correct: "fuses only respond to 'problems' on their load or 'outgoing' side." But, the Readers' Quiz column is just that: responses from readers to questions posed by other readers. We do include a disclaimer stating: "Answers shown here do not necessarily express the point of view of EC&M editors."

Spin Cycle
Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro -
Adrian McClyde isn't afraid of a tough, kill-your-legs type of group cycling class, but he can see why others might be leery of the format.
"I think, for most, the class is intimidating because when people leave the [cycling] room, they are drenched," says McClyde, an IT specialist from Odenton, MD, and a former member of World Gym Fitness Center in Largo, MD. "You can tell by looking that they got a good workout."
In the past, group cycling hasn't been marketed well to the deconditioned, even though the format is perfect for them, says Jay Blahnik, group exercise spokesperson for IDEA Health and Fitness Association and a former IDEA Instructor of the Year.
"I really believe there are some advantages to group cycling that don't exist in any other format," says Blahnik, who teaches a cycling class once a week in Laguna Beach, CA, and consults with 24 Hour Fitness and Bally Total Fitness on their cycling programs. "You don't have to worry about being coordinated, and if you're not strong, you can lessen the resistance."
To reap these benefits and appeal to a broader audience, many fitness facilities are dropping group cycling's tough-guy image and are creating a number of new classes to draw in the average, deconditioned member. After talking with a number of fitness facility managers and interviewing group cycling experts, Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro identified the following five trends in the group cycling arena:
Fusion Classes
Group cycling isn't just about the bikes anymore. In the last few years, fitness facilities have combined their cycling classes with just about every group exercise modality out there.
At the University of Missouri-Columbia, Mizzou Rec offers university students, staff and faculty a class called Ride and Relax, a blend of cycling, yoga and relaxation. The 60-minute class begins with 40 minutes of interval-based cycling drills, followed by 20 minutes of stretching and relaxation to build strength and flexibility. The class was first offered in January 2006 and has been well attended, says Angela Eastham, fitness coordinator of Mizzou Rec Services and Facilities.
"The response to the class has been wonderful, as many participants value the importance of stretching following a cardiovascular activity," Eastham says.
Crunch Fitness has also added fusion classes to its cycling schedules. Typical classes offered at most Crunch Fitness locations include Yoga Ride (cycling and yoga) and The Ride and Abs, a cycling class with climbs and sprints followed by 15 minutes of core work.
"Crunch Fitness is always looking for new ways to keep members engaged in their workouts and having fun at the gym," says Keith Worts, executive vice president of operations at Crunch Fitness.
Clubs are smart to do this because fusion classes are more welcoming to the deconditioned market, Blahnik says. Thirty minutes of body conditioning and 30 minutes of cycling is much less intimidating than an hour of pure cycling.
"If the club supports [group cycling] for all levels and the club promotes it that way, then people of all shapes and sizes can enjoy classes," Blahnik says. "We have to think outside of the 60 minutes."
Despite the popularity of fusion classes, it is important to leave a few traditional group cycling classes on the schedule to appease your regular cyclists, says Steven Watland, fitness manager of Naval Base (NB) Kitsap in Silverdale, WA. At NB Kitsap, traditional classes are still very popular, drawing in a diverse group of men and women of all ages and abilities. Of the naval base's five fitness facilities, two offer cycling classes.
"It's a very popular program and gaining in popularity amazingly," Watland says. "We thought the popularity would drop off, but we're ordering new spin bikes because over the last three years, we've steadily increased in patronage."
Express Classes
As people's schedules become more hectic, they have less time to work out. Some clubs are catering to these time-crunched members by offering condensed classes. In fact, at many facilities, hour-plus endurance rides are being replaced by shorter, sometimes more intense classes.
"It depends on the club and the instructor, but from my feeling, if you're teaching a class where they're working at the appropriate pace, they shouldn't need to ride two hours," says Mellissa Thomas, group fitness director of California Family Fitness, which offers 30-minute cycling classes. "You don't need to be doing cardio forever if we've designed an effective workout."
Mizzou Rec also offers a 30-minute cycling class: Cycle Express.
"These shorter classes also make working out more accessible to those who may be slightly deconditioned as they can progress to the longer classes after starting with one that may not be as challenging and physically demanding," Eastham says.
Watland is considering adding a 30-minute class but says the shorter time frame is challenging, especially in a military environment.
"A lot of our patrons spend more time talking than working out," he says. "Junior officers want face time with the senior officers, and it's really a social gathering. We have to allow for some of that."
Virtual Biking
One of the latest technology trends in cycling is virtual biking. While many virtual biking machines are for individual use, many clubs are introducing the technology into the group exercise format.
Mizzou Rec began offering Scenic Cycling in 2005 to reduce the boredom found in many traditional group exercise classes, Eastham says. The class uses a projector system to feature videos of cyclists riding through trails in Hawaii, Yellowstone Park and the Pacific Northwest. The class brings in a broader range of members, she says.
The new technology, however, doesn't come without a few caveats. Blahnik recommends that fitness facilities have their most advanced instructors lead virtual reality classes because of the high level of sophistication and motivation needed.
"The virtual reality thing is a tough road," Blahnik says. "Once you invest the time and commitment, it makes it really difficult for the instructor to teach. Now, [instructors] have to organize a ride around the virtual outside."
Bikes themselves are also becoming more "real," says Thomas. Of the 13 California Family Fitness clubs she oversees, four of them feature specialty bikes that re-create a more rugged mountain biking experience in addition to traditional cycling classes. Although the new bikes cost the same as traditional bikes, an entire new set was a significant investment for the club company, but it's been worth it, she says. At most of the club's facilities, about 10 percent to 20 percent of all people coming into the club attend a cycling class when one is offered. At the company's women-only facility in Fulton, CA, that number is about 75 percent, Thomas says.
Start and End Dates
Classes with a specified start and end date are also becoming hot tickets for cycling programming.
"It can be a six-week class and it can even be on the schedule the same way, but it should have a focus," Blahnik says. "You don't have to sign up for it, but it's part of a bigger story, and there's going to be an ending. I think those conversations resonate better with people. Otherwise, you feel like your dropping in on something that never really started or ended."
Often, these limited-time classes are linked with an upcoming race or event. To draw on Crunch Fitness members' excitement for the Tour de France, the company branded its own cycling program, Tour de Crunch. Although not a traditional group exercise class, the program pitted members on virtual reality bikes against each other at Crunch Fitness locations across the country. The competition, which took place from July 9 to July 29, had three stages, each with two courses. Members with the fastest cumulative times (male and female) of all six courses represented their club and raced against other club winners in the final heat on July 30 and 31. Members could race on the Internet-connected bikes at any time, says Worts of Crunch Fitness.
"The Tour de Crunch offers a fun workout with an element of competition, not only with members in the same gym or city but nationwide," he says. "It allows the members to test their skills and also have a chance to win a road bike."
At NB Kitsap, cycling instructors talked to their participants about the Tour de France while it was taking place in July. Classes focused on hills and sprints as a fun way to link the classes to the event, Watland says. Next year, the base's fitness centers plan to offer training for Tour de Kitsap, a 100-mile scenic ride that goes through Washington towns Seabeck, Port Gamble, Poulsbo, Keyport, Illahee and Manette.
"We want to sponsor people, get logoed shirts and really interact with the community," he says. "We want to get the Navy garb on to represent us in the community."
Outdoor Rides
Indoor cycling is also heading outdoors in attempts to become more community-based and beginner-friendly.
When it's not raining and cold at NB Kitsap, instructors move their group cycling bikes outside. Besides allowing the instructor and participants to enjoy the sunshine, Watland says it's a great way to showcase the class and ease beginners' fears because they can watch a class before they take it.
"We put the class outside our front doors with music blaring," Watland says. "It's a good marketing opportunity. It gets people looking our way, and they see how fun it is."
At other clubs, members meet outside the clubs to ride their own bikes on good weather days. Although away from the actual club itself, this type of ride builds community and friendships within the class, making it stronger, more fun and more successful, Blahnik says. Riding outside can also aid in retention and bring in new members.
"People who ride outside who have never really considered using classes for training may see you," Blahnik says. "Providing a place to train when they can't get outside attracts a bigger audience."
However, unlike indoor classes where people of all abilities can ride together, outdoor classes should be targeted to a participant's intensity so that everyone is comfortable, he says.
"The more we can teach classes that are more like bike riding, the bigger chance we can get a different group of people [into the classes]," Blahnik says. "Make it about real biking. Always connect the ride to the outdoors."
