|In response to Re: Electric Water Heater High Temp
: I have a Rheem 40 gallon heater in our attic. A few days ago it tripped out due to very hot water. Since then I have replaced the upper thermostat, lower thermostat, 4500 wupper element, and the 4500w lower element- in this order. Each effort did not fix my problem. I thought this was all there was on an electric heater that could cause this type malfunction. I am at a loss now. Can you offer any suggestion short of dragging the unit out of the attic for replacement?

This award is named for one of IIE's earliest and most illustrious alumni, Dr. Fritz Redlich, a native of Vienna who studied medicine at the University of Iowa on an IIE grant in 1930. Returning to Europe and facing imminent danger as Hitler rose to power, Redlich was only able to gain safe passage back to America through the support of his advisor in the U.S. from the time of his IIE experience and the affidavit he provided. Redlich subsequently chaired Yale's Department of Psychiatry, served as Dean of their Medical School, and had a distinguished academic career.
In 2002, the inaugural Redlich Award was given to Dr. Ruth Gruber, a famed journalist, humanitarian, and author perhaps best known for her rescue of 1,000 World War II refugees in a secret convoy across the Atlantic to America. Heralded as the world's youngest Ph.D. when she returned from Germany in 1932, Ruth earned her doctorate and launched her extraordinary career as an IIE grantee.

Teamwork Results in Clean-up of BLM Petroglyph Site
By Sarah Beckwith, Public Affairs Specialist, Wind River/Big Horn Basin District
The Oregon Basin Petroglyph Site has been subject to vandalism for many years. WYSSP observers discovered vandalism during a site visit in January 2009, prompting the need for the cleanup. Volunteers recently spent a pleasant day picking up garbage, removing debris from modern campfires, and obscuring off highway vehicle tracks.
In addition to the clean-up, Dr. Larry Todd, Anthropology Professor at Colorado State University and NWCC, brought his electronic distance measurement total station to create a new site map of the area. The total station provides information on rock art panel location, recent vandalism, and two newly-discovered prehistoric hearths, all at submillimeter accuracy.
The first volunteer to return to the site since the clean-up was happy with the results from the workday. "I was pleased to be a part of the clean-up," said Mike Neville of Cody. "I have visited the site twice since and it gives me a good feeling to see it looking so good."
WYSSP, a joint effort between the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office and BLM, was created to monitor and protect at-risk cultural resources throughout the state. WYSSP trains volunteers and provides them with the necessary tools to protect and preserve Wyoming's cultural heritage.
Kierson Crume, Cody Field Office archaeologist in the Cody Field Office, hopes to increase awareness of the importance of sites such as the Oregon Basin Petroglyph site. "A greater appreciation for our shared cultural heritage and Wyoming's past will ultimately result in better protection of these sites," Crume said. "Cooperative efforts like this emphasize the importance of working together to care for our public lands."

"I have difficulty buying shoes because I have a narrow foot and narrow heel. These sandals worked out for me because even though they are slightly too wide the strap keeps them securely on my feet. They are very comfortable and very cute. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is because they are not a perfect fit."

Not comfortable

Looks great but fits poorly
"I love the look of this shoe and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials. However, the shape is unusual and it doesn't fit my foot right. The length and width are true to size, but the slope of the upper ankle portion seems wrong. My whole lower leg feels like it needs to be bent forward, like in a half-squat position, in order to fit correctly in the ankle part of the shoe. Otherwise the heel part digs into my achille's tendon, and the straps around the mid-portion of the foot become much too loose in bunch oddly. In the picture the shoe looks like a normal foot shape, but when wearing the shoe it is just not as form-fitting and comfortable as it looks. Will be returning, unfortunately."

Very cute, but not a good fit
"These shoes are beautiful in person! I really loved how they looked. Unfortunately, they are not a good fit. As another reviewer said, the angle of the shoe seems too steep, making them hard to walk in. I actually bought another shoe that was the same heel height as these with my order, and they fit like a glove. So I don't think it's because it's a high heel, it's just not fitted well to the foot. Sadly, I had to send them back. They are adorable though if you find they are a good fit. Also, size wise they seem true to size."

my daughter loves!
"I ordered these for myself. I usually wear a 6.5 in flats and a 7 in athletic shoes, so I ordered these in 7. They were so comfy but too big. My foot is very narrow, so that was part of the problem. My daughter is an 8 wide and the 7 fit her well. I think she could have used a 7.5, but they are so stretchy it worked for her. I've ordered myself another pair in a 6 from the sketchers website since all the colors I like are sold out in my size on DSW. :("

Travellers will be able to access the internet quite easily in the cyber cafes of Namibia's large cities, but limited to no access should be expected in regional and rural areas.
Mobile phone coverage is good in Namibia's large cities and towns, but less so in rural and mountainous areas. Ensure you have global roaming activated before leaving home if you wish to use your mobile phone.
Depending on which areas of Namibia you are travelling in, expect to encounter a combination of squat toilets and flushable toilets. Carry your own supply of soap and toilet paper as these aren't always provided.

Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found; some hotels we stay in may have drinking water available. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit and vegetables before eating.
Credit cards are usually accepted by large hotels and western-style restaurants but not by smaller vendors. Ensure you have adequate cash to cover purchases not able to be made on credit.
ATMs are easily found in large cities and urban centres, but are rarer in small towns, rural areas and villages. Be sure to have other payment methods available when venturing out of the big cities, as ATMs aren't always an option.

'Affordable Underground Furniture': D.I.Y. Coffin Clubs Catch On in New Zealand
February 25, 2017
Propane is a colorless and odorless flammable gas.
This article discusses the harmful effects from breathing in or swallowing propane. Breathing in or swallowing propane can be harmful. Propane takes the place of oxygen in the lungs. This makes breathing difficulty or impossible.
This article is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or 1-800-222-1222 for a local poison control center.
Symptoms depend on the type of contact but may include:
Touching propane results in frostbite -like symptoms.
Seek immediate medical help. If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air. If the person does not improve rapidly after moving to fresh air, call your local emergency number (such as 911).
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. DO NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
Determine the following information:
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive oxygen. Blood tests may be done to determine the severity of the poisoning.
How well a patient does depends on the type of contact with the poison, and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better.
Those with short exposures may have temporary headaches or other mild nervous system symptoms. Stroke, coma, or death may occur with long-term exposure.

En español | The world of credit reporting is constantly changing. You've really got to stay on top of this if you want to maintain a strong credit rating.
Unfortunately, many of us fail to keep abreast of important economic, legal or industry changes that can have a direct impact on our credit health. A survey from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling found that most Americans don't bother to check their credit reports at all — even though federal law gives adults in the United States the right to get those reports free of charge each year from AnnualCreditReport.com.
Here are four recent changes that affect your credit reports and score.
1. Your rental history is now included in your credit reports
For decades, the only housing payments that were tracked by credit bureaus were mortgage payments. Lenders would report whether you paid your mortgage on time and that payment history would be used to help calculate your overall credit score. Now "nontraditional" payments such as monthly rent are also being factored in.
The credit reporting giant Experian even has a unit called Experian RentBureau. It keeps tabs on how well renters are handling their housing obligations. And Experian includes residential rental payment information and rental history on its credit reports — a change that could impact millions of renters nationwide.
So the lesson here is: Pay the rent on time.
2. Your payday loans are being tracked
Speaking of nontraditional items, did you know that the credit industry is also now examining payday loans?
In 2012, FICO, creator of the widely used FICO credit score, rolled out a new credit score in combination with a company called CoreLogic — the FICO Mortgage Score Powered by CoreLogic.
This score takes into account far more data than traditional FICO scores. It's based in large part on transactions that had historically been under the credit radar, such as payday loans, debt settlements and rent-to-own agreements.
Advocates say including this information helps people who have no bank accounts or have "thin" credit files, by allowing them to demonstrate responsible behavior and build credit. But consumer advocates worry that broadening the realm of information contained in credit reports could create problems for low- and middle-income Americans. For instance, if a consumer has a legitimate dispute with a retailer or landlord and withholds payment, the person could nevertheless be reported to the credit bureaus and branded as fiscally irresponsible.

The e-retailer may not have counted on all the big rivals it would face in this new frontier of entertainment.
Netflix was riding high in June 2007 when its founder and CEO, Reed Hastings, delivered a keynote address at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition. But Hastings didn't focus on the past success his company had achieved with its game-changing business model—offering a highly personalized web site where consumers could rent movies on DVD for convenient home delivery by the local letter carrier—a strategy that was in the process of driving Blockbuster and many other video stores out of business or into bankruptcy. Instead, he focused on the future, in which, he said, consumers would access movies, TV shows and other entertainment in the form of video streamed from the Internet.
Today it's clear Hastings was right. And yet Netflix is in the news because of the disastrous fall of its stock price, which has lost three-quarters of its value in three months, costing Netflix investors a cool $12 billion. There's a lesson in this for other online retailers, which I'll come back to shortly.
What went wrong for Netflix? In a nutshell, the company had to shell out a lot of money to license content that it could transmit to consumers who increasingly were taking to its video-streaming service. And as the content providers began to see how popular video streaming was becoming—and how it threatened the revenue of their existing customers, from movie theaters to cable TV channels—they raised their prices.
Plus, other big players saw what Hastings saw, and they got into the game. Really big players, like Amazon.com, and the big TV networks through their Hulu online video venture. More recently Google has entered the game by offering movies on its immensely popular YouTube site. And Facebook is getting in on the action, too, testing movie rentals directly on the social network.
As competition drove prices higher, Netflix had to pay more to provide enough content to keep video streamers interested—and even with its pricey deals the streaming selection falls far short of what consumers can get on DVD. Clearly, content wasn't going to get cheaper. Netflix initially offered video streaming as a free add-on to its DVD-by-mail service, but as the cost of streaming content soared, that became unsustainable. Netflix had to charge more for streaming content in order to be able to afford to offer more of it. That's what led Netflix to introduce the new pricing plans this summer, setting off a customer revolt that cost the company 800,000 U.S. subscribers in the third quarter, and sending investors storming for the exits.
There's general agreement that Netflix bungled the communication of this pricing shift, as Hastings has now admitted on several occasions. But the bigger problem is that it didn't account for how big an opportunity this would be, and the level of competition it would attract.
There's the lesson for other online retailers: Recognize that your success will draw new entrants. By every measure consumers are shopping more on the web. And that includes researching and sharing, as well as purchasing. Even in a tough economy, many e-retailers are growing revenue 10-30% a year. Quite a few are expanding into new categories and broadening their selection. But the Netflix experience suggests that you have to look around the corner at who else might be attracted by the same opportunities you see. Will you find yourself competing against Amazon, which is steadily expanding into new merchandise categories? Will you find a major competitor deciding to offer free shipping on all orders, as L.L. Bean did earlier this year?
As Netflix has learned, the very power of the web is making it a magnet for the biggest companies. That's not to say smaller retailers won't be able to complete. In fact, focused web merchants are doing very well, especially those that sell exclusively on the web. But they still would do well to assume that more competition is heading their way.

Update from Germany
TUBE® expo provides news, clues about the state of the industry
Interviews with several TUBE exhibitors revealed that the energy industry remains the biggest driver in the tube and pipe industry. The opportunities aren't just in oil and gas, but also wind and even nuclear, despite the Fukushima incident. Meanwhile, a few vendors have come up with machines and processes that reduce tube and pipe consumption and waste, helping the industry deal with fluctuating metals prices.
"Oil and gas are the drivers right now," said Karl Kunkel, global strategy director for Quaker Chemical Corp., commenting on the state of the tube and pipe industry. Quaker's position as a global supplier of metalworking process fluids and coatings to the pipe industry gives the company a comprehensive view of worldwide manufacturing trends.
Many other exhibitors at the TUBE® expo in Düsseldorf, Germany (April 26-30) agreed with Kunkel's statement, and it's not hard to see why: The spot price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was about $105 per barrel in late March. This seems like a bargain compared to the price in July 2008, when it hit $145 per barrel. On the other hand, $105 seems pricey, considering that WTI didn't exceed $50 per barrel until 2004. In any case, the price isn't likely to fall much anytime soon. According to the Dept. of Energy's Short-term Energy Outlook (March 6, 2012), the world's oil consumption is expected to outpace production during 2012 and 2013, maintaining upward pressure on the price and encouraging continued exploration and drilling activity.
While the demand is growing, the industry is adapting to the search for increasingly difficult-to-recover petroleum.
"We see a movement toward premium pipes by the major producers," Kunkel said. "Oil companies are drilling deeper wells, so they need pipe with better corrosion resistance and strength characteristics. Quaker has been selling threading coolants for a long time. Threading pipe that meets standard American Petroleum Institute (API) specifications is not very difficult, but premium pipe is a different story—the interaction between the tooling and the material is different."
The company also has been formulating new products in response to health concerns and environmental compliance. The allowable levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been decreasing for years, and regulations around the world are becoming even more stringent.
"The industry is moving toward water-based corrosion protection products wherever possible because it is generally understood that solvent-based products may not be as good for worker health and safety," Kunkel said. "Many water-based coatings still need small amounts of solvents so they coalesce, but we now have some zero-VOC and near-zero-VOC products," he said.
Meanwhile, the growth in the petroleum industry is driving other demands. Kunkel cited the harsh conditions where much of the world's oil reserves are located, in North Africa and throughout the Middle East. Much ofthe world's oil is found in desert regions, where temperatures can vary as much as 50 degrees F in a day, and in coastal regions where the pipe is exposed to salt air.
The company's response is QUAKERCOAT® 394, a low-VOC coating for temporary protection of OCTG pipes. The VOC content is 14g/L, which is one-tenth the maximum stipulated by European directive 2004/42/EC, according to the company. Intended to withstand temperature swings from 45 degrees F to 120 degrees F, pipes coated at 30 microns thick have been protected from corrosion during six months of storage in both a coastal desert region and in a European industrial area, according to Quaker.
Of course, drilling for oil and gas is just one part of the energy industry. Making heat exchangers for nuclear power applications also is a growth area for pipe, said Doug Moravits, international sales manager for equipment manufacturer Eaton Leonard, Cologne, France. Although the incident at Japan's Fukushima power plant might hasten the closures of some plants in the developed world, nuclear power remains a critical element in the future of power generation for many countries.
"The straight tube is usually 30 meters long, and it needs a single 180-degree bend," Moravits said, describing a typical tube for this sort of application. "They need to bend it right the first time because the material is INCONEL®, and it's very expensive," he said. Although bending cold-works the tube, which complicates the process, this is the easy part.
"Material handling is the tricky part for such long tubes," Moravits said. Needless to say, a facility for this sort of fabrication takes up quite a bit of room. The company's expertise doesn't end with benders.
"For one customer, we set up a plant that is half the size of a football field," Moravits said. "It has everything needed to cut, hydrotest, trim, deburr, heat-treat the bend, and do all the material handling."
Likewise, Th. Wortelboer B.V., Malden, Netherlands, is well-positioned to serve the energy industry, specifically oil and gas, and others that use a lot of pipe. A manufacturer of cutting, beveling, and polishing machines for tube and pipe, the company recently redesigned and improved its PBM line to machine wall thickness up to 1 in. in a single pass. The machines also have been improved with a variety of additions, some simple and some complex.
"Some customers wanted a lamp, so a lamp is now standard on the machines," said company owner Norbert Wortelboer. "We have also upgraded the feeding system, and we have CNC on the 16-in. (435-mm) as well as on the 30-in. (780-mm) diameter machines. We also have improved the motor speeds to reduce the machining time," he said.
The company's TPP 5090 pneumatic polishing machine is another example of a tool that can help reduce tube and pipe preparation time. Equipped with two wheels, the D and S models prepare pipe ends for welding by stripping rust, paint, and coatings from the OD and ID simultaneously. They also can strip two sides of a plate at the same time.
Laser cutting machines also have been adopted for use in conventional and emerging energy applications, according to Fabio Migliorati, sales director for laser equipment manufacturer Tube Tech Machinery, Brescia, Italy.
One example is a tube with slots near one end, used for oilfield steam injection. An enhanced oil recovery process, steam injection decreases the oil's viscosity, making it easier to pump. The slotted tube isn't a new concept, but using a laser improves the slots, Migliorati said.
The offshore wind industry is another lucrative market, in part because it has changed substantially over the years.
"The wind towers initially were monopods; then tripods; and now they are on platforms on the seabed, Migliorati said. "These structures have quite a bit of tube."
Tube Tech Machinery saw an opportunity to supply entire processing lines for this application, providing automated part handling, cutting, robotic fixturing, and robotic welding.
Of course, the use of lasers goes well beyond the energy industry. They have caught on for manufacturing all manner of goods, and their versatility has secured their place in this industry. They have ushered in the era of mass customization.
"Every product is a new product—there are no standard features these days," Migliorati said.
Waste Not, Want Not
Resource conservation was another theme at the expo. Big swings in steel prices cause big swings in tube and pipe prices, so anyone who uses these goods has an interest in reducing the amount of material they use and, if possible, eliminating the amount they waste. Several exhibitors introduced products aimed at using and wasting less tube and pipe.
Industries as varied as pharmaceutical processing, food processing, boiler construction, and aerospace are using less material than before by increasing their use of thin-walled tubing, said Andreas Lier, international sales manager for Orbitalum Tools GmbH, Singen, Germany. Two of its pipe end preparation tools, BRB 2 and BRB 4, handle walls thicknesses down to 0.08 in. The tools are equipped with the company's NC clamping system, which uses wedges anchored in the mandrel to prevent foreign bodies from entering the pipe. Another option is a brush attachment that likewise prevents chips from getting into the pipe.
Sawing machine and peripherals manufacturer RSA, Schwerte, Germany, also provides a waste-reducing conveyor system. The company's core technology is sawing systems, such as its Rasacut SH 300, which handles walled tubes and pipes and solid bars up to 11.75 in. (300 mm) dia. in lengths up to 45 ft. (14 m), and its CC 90 and CC 90-2, which provide single cuts on diameters up to 3.5 in. (90 mm) and double cuts on diameters up to 1.75 in. (45 mm), respectively. In addition to equipment for deburring, chamfering, washing, and drying, it also makes a bidirectional conveyor system ideal for service centers—it sends remnants back to the warehouse for use in filling subsequent orders.
Bender manufacturer Schwarze-Robitec GmbH, Cologne, Germany, developed a new way to bend short-length components. Conventional practice calls for making bent components with additional straight material at each end so the tube can be clamped and cut to the correct length.
"This practice drives up the manufacturing costs for a component," said Managing Director Bert Zorn. "We have therefore produced a solution which not only reduces the required material quantity [but] also shortens the production time."
After a commercial length of tube is introduced to the bender, the machine advances the tube, makes the necessary bends, then separates the finished component from the rest of the tube. The remaining straight length of tube is advanced into the bender and the process starts over. In each case, only a narrow shaving is wasted at each cut.
"Only at the front and rear ends of the tube does waste occur that cannot be used, which is conveyed out of the machine," added Hartmut Stöhr, another managing director. The company claims that it reduces up to 90 percent of the waste of a conventional bend-and-cut process.
Steel consumption isn't the only area where fabricators can conserve re-sources. Water is another precious commodity, and Quaker has developed a product concept called 2PAQ to help fabricators reduce water consumption. A two-part coolant and cleaner, it is suitable for a variety of metals operations. When used as a cleaner for cutting operations, the fluid can be reused by sending it to the cutting fluid tanks to top up the emulsions. Reusing the cleaner for this purpose, instead of water, reduces the costs associated with water consumption and water treatment. Also, because it is formulated in a variety of solution ratios—the alkaline and oil phases mixed into water—to meet many needs, it helps metal fabricators reduce their inventory of coolants and cleaners.
TUBE Expo Statistics
The TUBE 2012 expo was similar to the 2010 expo in the number of exhibitors and the geographic mix. The big difference between 2012 and 2010 was the increase in floor space, which was up nearly 10 percent, and the number of visitors, which was up more than 8 percent.
- Exhibit Space: 527,400 sq. ft.(up 9.4 percent)
- Number of Exhibitors: 1,179 (up from 0.6 percent)
- Number of Exhibitors From Germany: 327 (down 3.8 percent)
- Number of Exhibitors From Other Countries: 852 (up 2.4 percent)
- Number of Visitors: 34,659 (up 8.4 percent)
- Number of Visitors From Germany: 45 percent (down from 48 percent)
- Number of Visitors From Other Countries: 55 percent (up from 52 percent)
Best Display of Tube
Wiederholt's booth was adorned with an automobile rich in tube, the Ariel Atom. The chassis uses both electric resistance welded (ERW) and cold-drawn seamless (CDS) tubing. Weighing little more than 1,000 lbs., it's powered by a 2.4-liter engine. The high power-to-weight ratio enables the supercharged version to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds. The U.K. manufacturer, Ariel Motor Co., claims that it's the fastest production car in the world.
"Some of the tubing is visible, but quite a bit of it is hidden in the car," said Dr. Johannes Fien, product development manager for Vicenz Wiederholt GmbH, a German manufacturer of high-tolerance, precision steel tubing and components. The company's products are used in forklifts, elevators, hydroforming applications, and, of course, automobiles.
"A typical car uses about 15 meters of precision steel tubing," he said.Shock absorbers and hydraulic lines are conventional uses, but another application, camshafts, is a growth area.
"Only about 40 percent of camshafts are made from tube," Fien said. "Changing from a solid bar to tube is needed to reduce weight, so it's likely that more camshafts will be made from tube in the future. It has an advantage in lubrication, too, because you can push oil through a tube. You can't do that with a solid camshaft."
The driveshaft continues to be another viable tubular component, although in smaller numbers in the past. Necessary to connect the transmission to the differential on rear-wheel-drive vehicles, driveshafts aren't needed on front-wheel-drive vehicles. However, front wheel drive isn't universal.
"SUVs still need driveshafts," Fien said.
Most Unique Use of Tube
Lengths of tubing have become a key element in preserving the centuries-old Swedish warship Vasa. While its heavy armament made it among the most formidable ships of its time, the design was unstable and it sunk on its maiden voyage in 1628. It was brought to the surface in 1961, restored, and has been on display ever since. Despite its catastrophic maiden voyage, the ship has been a source of pride for decades.
Part of the 1961 restoration effort involved replacing the hardware that had rusted away during three centuries on the seabed. In 2007 it was discovered that the replacement bolts were corroding, and the corrosion was damaging the wood, meaning the hardware would have to be replaced again. The staff at the Vasa Museum contacted Sandvik to come up with a suitable material. Sandvik metallurgists determined that a proprietary alloy, Sandvik SAF 2707 HD®, would be the best choice. The alloy is a duplex stainless steel frequently used in highly corrosive environments.
It's not a simple piece of hardware. This type of bolt is an assembly that consists of several components: a tube, a bar, nuts, washers, and springs. Each of the bolts is unique and adapted to the specific length and position of the original hardware. Full replacement of the 5,500 bolts is expected to be a five-year project.

Rangers manager Ron Washington on why he 'fell in love' with A.J. Pierzynski
Rangers manager Ron Washington joined RAGE on KRLD 105.3 the Fan to talk about the upcoming season. Here are some highlights:
On if he's every\ had a run-in with A.J. Pierzynski:
I've never had a run-in with him. The first time that I saw him, he was catching for the Minnesota Twins and I fell in love with him. … I like his attitude, I like the edge that he brings, I like the fact that he upsets the opposing team with the way that he goes about his business. But it's all about one thing: winning ballgames. That's what we're about here in Texas, winning ballgames, and we brought in a guy that's about winning ballgames.
On if Lance Berkman is ready to be the No. 3 hitter:
Without a doubt. He's been handling those situations all his career. The thing is, we want to get him in here and make sure we get out of spring training with him healthy, and if we get out of spring training with him healthy and he can be in the middle of that lineup, he will definitely make a difference.
On Nelson Cruz:
I certainly expect him to be our right fielder, and anything other than what I just said until the investigation is over, I really don't have much else to say about it.
On Jurickson Profar's role:
There was speculation about him moving to the outfield, but you can't take anything out of the equation. Not that we have plans on playing him out in the outfield, but you never know in a game in spring training what may happen, how personnel may get moved around. You may see him go out there, but our plans with him are to make sure that he learns everything he can about playing shortstop and second base.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
On Feb. 18, Second Congressional Candidate Tim Bridgewater met with county republican leaders at Critter Country Fixins. Bridgewater was meeting with potential state conference delegates to introduce himself and ask for their support.
Bridgewater began with a little background information. He was originally from Salt Lake and now lives in Draper. He owns and runs his own company, Interlink Management Corporation, which is in South Jordan. His company helps smaller companies with management issues.
"I know what issues are important to rural people. I have family in Kamas and Wayne County. Jim Matheson is a decent guy, but has been ineffective for the concerns of rural Utahns. Control of local issues should be with the local people," said Bridgewater.
Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud asked Bridgewater about his feelings on the Downwinders issue. Sitterud explained a line has been drawn to exclude Emery County residents from the compensation for those effected by the testing. "Someone, somewhere decided that no one was effected north of Wayne County," said Sitterud.
"That is an issue that needs to be fought and I'll fight that fight," Bridgewater said.
Bridgewater went on to explain that he has been involved in political issues from the time of his graduation from Brigham Young University. He worked for the Ronald Reagan campaign and he works closely with people in all levels of the present administration. "I can bring a practical business approach to the job of congressman. I have a good campaign team and we will run a positive, issues oriented campaign."
Sitterud asked Bridgewater where he stood on the RS-2477 issue. "I feel that this is a local issue and that those decisions concerning the roads need to be left to local people. All issues, including roads, education and heath care decisions should be made on the local level. I think it's great when government can trust local people to make their own decisions. I will absolutely support the county commissioners," said Bridgewater.
"Rural Utah needs recreation and environmentalists are trying to tie things up. Local people can govern this area better than outsiders."
"We need to begin with a dialogue on the issues. Then I'll get in there and roll up my shirt sleeves and help out and we should win the battles," stated Bridgewater. "I joined this political race because I think one person can make a difference and effect change. I'll make change, a positive change for Utah. I will represent you with Republican idealogy and values in Washington, DC."
