This pride carries over to our civilian customers as well, who enjoy knowing that using NavalTees for their design and printing needs, they too are promoting good things.
A brief history of NavyChief.com.
Jeff created NavyChief.com (and parent company NavalTees) in 1997, the early days of the dot.com boom. He served as CEO, president, creative/art Director, web designer, sales rep, and sole Illustrator for the company for the next 15 years building it into one of the most popular military related brands in the world. Since then, NavyChief.com has become one of the most recognized military web sites, also making Jeff one of the most well known military artists.
In 2006 NavyChief.com hired it's first employee Lo Bronson to help with administrative and customer service duties. In 2009 Ken Tindall joined our team as Production Manager, who's expertise brought screen-printing in-house. Freeing us from having to outsource to third party printers. This gave us full control of product development, production and quality assurance.
In 2010, long time friend and fellow Navy Chief, Frank Deaton, joined with Jeff as the CEO. With his exceptional background with business development in the defense industry, Frank lead NavalTees into the next phase of growth including large scale production, new customer service initiatives, and scaled-up the business to be a leader in military, and eventually, main-stream apparel design and production.
In 2011, Jeff's wife of 24 years and co-founder of NavyChief.com, Marion Hobrath, passed away from cancer. Following his loss, Jeff took a hiatus from NavyChief.com from 2012-2016. During this time NavalTees opened its doors to new artists, including Megan Skotnicki who expanded the female apparel line. In November 2016, Jeff returned with full force once again teaming with Frank and crew to continue pushing the mission forward.
NavalTees is featured in Navy Exchange stores around the globe at every key Naval base and installations world-wide. NavyChief.com serves thousands of visitors monthly, allowing everyone access to the coolest military products on the web.

Kenneth Wayne Carter
Durango resident Kenneth Wayne Carter died Friday, March 15, 2013, at his home. He had turned 63 a week and a half earlier. The cause of death is undetermined at this time.
Known as Ken, he was born to Tom and Vera (Crownover) Carter on March 4, 1950, in Hawthorne, Calif.
After he graduated from high school, he joined the Navy, spending some time in Vietnam before returning to Canyon Country, Calif., where he started a family and lived for the next 20 years.
In the Navy, Mr. Carter became an electrician and learned to build and fix everything and anything, his family said. That became his lifelong occupation. For many years, he worked for National Sanitary Supply in Los Angeles.
Eight years ago, good friends enticed Mr. Carter to move to Durango, where he started a successful small business of electric and home repairs.
In his spare time, he was a gourmet cook and delighted these good friends with superb dining experiences, his friends said. He was known for his peach cobbler, cooked over a campfire and served up with wonderful stories. He was the life of every party. He had a deep abiding love for the wild backcountry, a clear riverbed, good friends and sitting tall on the back of his horse rounding up cattle. Ken was a real cowboy.
Mr. Carter is survived by his son, Donald Carter of Lakewood, Wash.; daughter, Janie Lu Kaminski of Los Osos, Calif.; brother, David Carter of Sequim, Wash.; and four grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be sent to Special Olympics, 209 Kingfisher Court, Durango, CO 81301.

not the perfect fit
"Although I found these shoes to be very light and comfortable, I thought they were a little too big, or that once the leather stretched with wear, they would slip off my feet easily. So I returned them. I normally wear size 6, which is what I ordered, and I also tried size 5.5. in the store, but these felt too tight. (I should add that the color was another plus, for the shoes look good with both black and brown skirts/pants.)"

By RICHARD SHAWSA and ECP publisher
This coming Thursday is the anniversary date of one of the darkest days in American history.
On Feb. 19, 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 ordering that all Japanese-Americans along the United States West Coast to be interned at relocation camps inland from the coast.
This order brought about the establishment of the Topaz internment camp near Delta, a camp named after the nearby Topaz Mountains.
As a result of this order, over 8,000 Japanese-Americans were eventually interred at Topaz, most of them from the Northern California area.
In a way eastern Utah's local junior college, then known as Carbon College, had a small role in the history of Topaz.
At the height of World War II during the fall of 1944 a small group of young men attending Carbon College expressed a desire to continue playing football after playing for Carbon High the previous year. Most were awaiting a greeting from Uncle Sam for induction into military service.
Someone came up with the idea of recruiting the third string players off the high school team at the time and combining them with the college students to form a team. The effort was facilitated by the fact that Carbon High and Carbon College had a joint student body at the time, sharing college buildings, teachers and even administration.
George (Buck) Young, a faculty member of the school, was induced to coach the team and Jackie Aramaki, ironically a Japanese-American himself, was recruited as the assistant coach. Aramaki had won state-wide acclaim prior to the war as a speedy running back on his Carbon High team.
The new team struggled along, seeking games where ever possible, mostly with the junior varsity teams of the state's major colleges. It actually held the distinction as the only junior college team in the United States during that war year.
Word came that a high school age football team had been organized at Topaz and they were seeking games. Young arranged a home and home series for his team with the Topaz players. The first game was scheduled for Topaz with the Japanese-American team coming to Price weeks later.
Helper resident Walt Borla was a member of the Carbon team and made the trip to Topaz. He was attending school and working nights as a tender of the steam locomotive engines at the Rio Grande's roundhouse in Helper for .65 cents an hour. Like everyone his age he was pending a call to become part of the war effort.
Borla recalls that he worked the night before going to Topaz and slept on the bus almost the entire trip. The officials at the internment camp had scraped away the sage brush on a large area, leveled the ground, put up some goal posts and lined the field for football.
"Every time one of us made a tackle we came up with a mouthful of dirt," said Borla. "There were no bleachers at the field and it appeared that all 8,000 residents stood shoulder to shoulder to see the game."
After the game the Topaz team hosted the Carbon players to a luncheon in the large wooden constructed gymnasium that the government had provided for the camp.
About all Borla can recall of the trip besides the game was the row after row of wooden barracks lined with black tar paper that provided the living quarters for the internees. He was impressed with the apparent industrialist manner of the residents. There were numerous vegetable gardens adjoining the barracks. The camp also had its own newspaper, The Topaz Times.
Topaz's team made the journey to Price later in the fall for another game at the Carbon field.
So which team won the games? Borla says he doesn't even remember.
"The only thing I remember about the game at Carbon was that I scored the only touchdown of my brief football career," he said. "It came when I recovered a Topaz fumble in the end zone."
During the time of the internment at these camps several internees were given the opportunity to come to Carbon County to work at the mines. Two dentists, Dr. Joe Abe at first and later Dr. Tosh Furukawa, were allowed to come to Helper and set up a dental practice.
One young lady, Mari Aayagi, was allowed to come to Helper to work in a local restaurant operated by a Japanese-American family. The restaurant, operating 24/7, was vital to provide food service for the railroad crews during their layovers from Grand Junction or Salt Lake City. She met her future husband here in Carbon County and remained to raise her family in Helper.
The Japanese-American internment camp, Topaz, in the west Utah desert near Delta, was closed on Sept. 2, 1945 shortly after the end of World War II.
A marker was erected at the site in 1976 and the site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2007.
Years later the United States government compensated the internees to a degree for the unforgettable experience they suffered in camps like Topaz.

|In response to Re: Toilet Bubbles
: I've just (nearly) completed installing a basement bathroom. Although each stage was inspected, the toilet bubbles when the mainfloor washing machine empties. The stack that I tied into services the main floor bath and the washing machine. As this stack passes through the basement the sink is connected by a "t" and is vented (ABS 1.5 inch; I actually replaced an existing laundry tub) - I do not believe the vent is obstructed, but will double check.
: As the stack enters the concrete floor, it turns toward the main household stack - it is in this line that I tied the toilet in - in fact, the toilet sits directly on top of the line. The distance between the toilet and the sink vent is just a few feet. Further downstream toward the main household stack I tied the shower in and haven't noticed any noise or bubbles from its trap. The household stack joins the sewer system for the city; the house is about 15 years old.
: Assuming the vent is not blocked, was there a design flaw? Is there anything I can do to remediate? I might be able to tie a second vent downstream from the toilet into the second household vent - not easy, but could be done. I guess my main question is, is there a risk of leaving it as is? Thanks,

After four long weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris, the spring 2016 collections have finally come to a close. There were ups and there were downs, but most importantly, there were trends — a whole lot of them, actually. We've already covered what each city specialized in this month, and now it's time to take a look at the bigger picture. You may remember that the biggest trend of fall 2015 was the '70s, and while this did continue into spring, the nostalgia was a little more spread out this time around. For those of you who aren't as enamored with all things retro, don't fret — there was a lot more to the season than simply looking to the past. Read on to get a full rundown on spring's top trends
Fashion is feeling pretty nostalgic these days, but of the decades referenced this season, the '90s were the biggest story — especially in Paris. Rave culture, minimalism, grunge and fanny packs all made appearances. You have been warned.

goes with everything!
"I got this bag as a way to carry books and paperwork while remaining somewhat stylish. This is perfect! I can fit a normal width folder sideways and still have room for a couple of books and even a lightweight sweater. Plus, the bright rainbow bag looks good with everything! Either there is a color included that matches what I'm wearing, or it adds a necessary pop of color."

Hi Deborah, I had a very busy weekend - Christmas shopping - had to do a little as my hubby and I are going to Orlando to visit his sister and her family for Christmas and we can't come empty-handed, can we? :-) Also, had to look for smaller gifts for a group of my ex co-workers who have become my friends for a pre-Christmas get-together. And today, I'm going to bake some cookies for Christmas gifts I'm giving my two nearest next door neighbors. How about yourself? Ready for Christmas? Anyway, if I don't get the time to go online here again, here's wishing you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Toy Design That Grabs Your Attention
Creative concept and design studio Applehead Factory relies on NewTek LightWave 3D to visualize toy prototypes and deliver the goods.
By Courtney E. Howard
Applehead Factory is all about creativity, passion and execution. When the company opened its doors in 2002, it offered one simple product—DrinkMaster Says, a card game full of wild rules and challenges that involve—you guessed it—adult beverages. To this day, the game remains a popular seller in stores like Spencer Gifts. However, in 2003, the company decided to delve into producing a more tangible form of entertainment—Teddy Scares, a series of offbeat, but loveable, zombie teddy bears that have been transformed from the soft cuddly teddy bears they once were to the stitched, scarred and reassembled bears they are today.
Following the first series of Teddy Scares, which touts approximately 20 exclusive bears and features comic books, apparel, and more, Applehead Factory embarked on its second line of toys featuring Tofu the Vegan Zombie. This seven-inch vinyl toy not only expanded the company's zombie reach, it also introduced LightWave 3D into the creative pipeline. And, it wasn't long before LightWave was being used to generate 3D prototypes for all Applehead products, including Teddy Scares.
"We quickly realized that we could save a massive amount of time and eliminate potential headaches before going into final production by creating our toys in LightWave 3D," explains Applehead Factory art director Joe DiDomenico. "Being able to deliver a dimensional prototype to our manufacturers in China helps remove the confusion that often comes with manufacturing and delivering a toy using 2D schematics."
In addition to designing its toys in LightWave, Applehead Factory uses LightWave to create photoreal product renders for packaging materials—a huge advantage since the packaging is created as the toy is being manufactured. By delivering a photoreal image of the product in unison with the toy design, Applehead eliminates the need for a product photo shoot—saving time and money in the delivery of the final product.
"A benefit of using LightWave to generate 3D prototypes is the use of its photoreal rendering engine," explains Applehead president Phil Nannay. "We are able to produce imagery of products that we can easily put in front of our retailers and distributors for pre-orders. It also allows us to test market products to see how many units of a particular product we should produce, which helps us streamline costs on many levels."
Expanding the Business of 3D
In 2011, Applehead Factory returned to its roots, developing a new product in the Drink Master Says series—DrinkMaster Says Super Quarters. Once again, LightWave proved instrumental in creating the plastic tray prototype and the final product shot for the packaging. The CG product shot was also used to pre-sell the item to stores and to get early feedback from distributors. Then when it came time to manufacture the game, the LightWave OBJ file was exported to an STL file and sent to the manufacturer where steel molds were generated for the production of the toy.
Applehead continues to integrate LightWave in its marketing and sales promotions, using the software to create mockups of point-of-purchase countertop displays. Online and virally, the company has also used LightWave to produce Teddy Scares and Tofu the Vegan Zombie animated shorts, which have received numerous awards including a Telly Award.
"Most people see LightWave as a way to create visual effects for movies and television," says DiDomenico, "But we immediately realized it could make the development of our products better, easier and faster. The use of LightWave in our studio has completely changed our pipeline for the better."
Go Ahead, Brand Your Own
Applehead Factory not only creates Teddy Scares for its devoted followers, it also creates custom Teddy Scares for businesses looking to extend their brand through custom products. Some of the company's newest creations, created entirely in LightWave, debuted in late 2011. These included two eight-inch custom Teddy Scares—one bear was designed exclusively for Vamp Fangs, and the other, Hester Golem, was created for Eastern State Penitentiary's annual "Terror Behind the Walls," one of the largest haunted attractions in the United States. Last year marked the fifth year Applehead Factory has produced a custom bear for the Eastern State Penitentiary event.
Collectively, the artists at Applehead offer a wealth of experience working on projects for companies such as Pixar, Dreamworks, NASA and many others. As Applehead Factory continues to attract new business with custom toy, animation and design services targeting companies that are ready to take their brand to new extremes, LightWave 3D will remain the company's go-to 3D software every step of the way.

Just what I was looking for
"Have been a long time wearer of Nike shoes. I love how lightweight this pair is. Was looking for a new style that was seamless at the toe. Typically, my toe would break the seam or meshing along the toeline before the shoe would be considered worn out. I'm hopeful this new seamless design will prevent this. Kudos to the Nike design team.:)"

Federal Appeals Court Rules Gov't Can Track Your Location Without Warrant
Jason Mick
July 31, 2013 2:47 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: MR Conservative)
Court ruling gives government a powerful new route to circumvent warrantless GPS-tracking ban
Numerous U.S. federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies -- as well as their state counterparts -- have made the argument that going through the due process of getting a warrant when tracking citizens
is too much work
. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) clearly thought otherwise,
deciding unanimously
U.S. v. Jones
, 10-1259
; PDF) in January 2012 that
planting GPS trackers on citizens' vehicles
generally is a violation of Fourth Amendment rights.
I. Lies and Excuses Riddle Tracking Justification
But since that setback, the
opponents of due process
have been
getting creative
with other ways to track Americans. One tactic they've increasingly used is
warrantless data grabs on calling records
tower ping data grabs
, and even
physical data grabs off devices
. A source close to the
U.S. National Security Agency
(NSA) revealed that nearly
99 percent of phone-using Americans
are being tracked on a daily basis via this tactic.
On Tuesday, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
[PDF] that such warrantless cell phone data grabs are legal. This latest decision by the higher court invalidates
the prior ruling
[PDF] by
Magistrate Judge Stephen Smith
, of the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas
, which decided in November 2011 that cell phone location data warrantless seizures were unconstitutional under the fourth amendment. (
The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey
earlier this month
[PDF] a similar opinion.)
The 5th Circuit -- which sets the precedent for Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas -- argued that the warrantless tracking is okay because the cell phone carriers are the ones doing it, not the government. They argue that stored location data is a "business record" and thus a person's location is not Constitutionally protected from search and seizure after it's been collected.
The government says you have no privacy protections against cell phone tracking under the constitution [Image Source: MR Conservative]
They write:
… cell site information is clearly a business record. The cell service provider collects and stores historical cell site data for its own business purposes, perhaps to monitor or optimize service on its network or to accurately bill its customers for the segments of its network that they use. The Government does not require service providers to record this information or store it. The providers control what they record and how long these records are retained.
But that ruling is entirely ignorant of the fact that the federal government
does force
telecommunications companies to collect data records on their customers, and even participates in that collection.
II. Gov't
Mandate Private Companies Track You
A November 2001
pair of
[PDF] directed at Telstra Corp., Ltd. (
) and its REACH Networks subsidiary, signed by Deputy Assistant Attorney General John G Malcolm and
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) general Counsel Larry R. Parkinson reveals:
Article 2.1 (b) of the document
[A carrier must be able to provide...]
Article 2.3, clauses (d) and (e)
Similar orders have reportedly targeted AT&T
, Inc. (
) and Verizon Communications, Inc. (
), companies that own the majority of the fiber optic cable that underpins all major U.S. cellular networks.
The PATRIOT Act enabled massive erosions to due process. [Image Source: Flickr]
These orders
mostly trace back to the "business records" (
) section of the 2001 PATRIOT Act, which removed the need to for the feds to get warrants when seizing certain kinds of records.
III. Appellate Courts: 2-to-1 in Favor of Warrantless Tracking
So it sounds like the 5th Circuit's assertion that "the providers control what they record and how long these records are retained" isn't accurate. They do, however, follow it with a true statement -- "Their use of their phones, moreover, is entirely voluntary . . . . The Government does not require a member of the public to own or carry a phone."
In other words,
if you don't want your privacy rights trampled on, don't use a phone
. That perspective is nearly identical to
a second ruling
[PDF] by the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
-- which covers Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. That ruling came down in August 2012.
So far the only ruling at the higher appellate level that's come close to rejecting this warrantless, ubiquitous monitoring of citizens is
a Dec. 2010 opinion
[PDF] from the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
-- which covers Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In that ruling, Chief Judge Theodore McKee wrote that under The Stored Communications Act (an outdated law that hasn't changed meaningfully since its passage in 1986, despite advances in cell phone technology) judges had the responsibility to decide individually for each case whether a request was covered under the fourth amendment and hence required the warrant.
While that ruling left the door open for a slightly faster justice-granted order, it was still blasted by the Obama administration and other proponents of wiping out Constitutional protections.
IV. Eroding the Constitution
As a result of these rulings, if you live in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, the government can spy on your location without warrant via phone records, but if you live in certain east coast states you may need a warrant. In other jurisdictions (e.g. mountain states, the southwest, and the west coast) the situation remains largely untested.
The ACLU and EFF are upset about the Orwellian tracking of law abiding citizens.
The American Civil Liberties Union
the 5th Circuit ruling, writing:
This ruling is troubling because, as we and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
, only a warrant standard fully protects Americans' privacy interests in their locations and movements over time. Cell phone companies store records on where each of us have been, often stretching back for years. That location information is sensitive and can reveal a great deal—what doctors people visit, where they spend the night, who their friends are, and where they worship. Given the sensitivity of these facts, law enforcement agents should have to demonstrate to a judge that they have a good reason to believe that they will turn up evidence of wrongdoing before gaining access to information that can paint a detailed picture of where a person has been over time.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation
(EFF) adds:
More generally the "third party doctrine" -- the idea you have no expectation of privacy in information turned over to third parties -- is dangerously eroding our Fourth Amendment protection at a time when cell phone companies and Internet service providers are stockpiling extensive personal information about all of us. Last year, Justice Sotomayor of the U.S. Supreme Court sounded the alarm in her concurring opinion in
United States v. Jones
writing the doctrine was "ill suited to the digital age, in which people reveal a great deal of information about themselves to third parties in the course of carrying out mundane tasks."
But it looks like civil liberty advocates are for now on the losing side of a battle against the Obama administration and its federal/state allies who look to erode Constitutional privacy protections.
As in the
growing issue of license plate scanning
to track citizens (also
funded by and legally endorsed by the Obama administration
), U.S. citizens should simply assume
"Big Brother" is watching them
at all times.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

Maureen Farrell, Forbes Staff
Spare parts are to jet-engine makers what razor blades are to Gillette. Pratt & Whitney, General Electric and Rolls-Royce garner juicy 40% margins (before interest and taxes) making replacement engine blades and other components that have mandated life spans set by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. FAA certification requires up to a dozen tests during which the physical part is put through its paces until it breaks. Those tests can take up to a few years and gobble millions of dollars, crowding out little contract manufacturers, like EB Airfoils, in Palm City, Florida.
Until now. Last year EB, with only $12 million in annual revenue, spent $250,000 to test its replacement Pratt titanium blade for the engine in a McDonnell Douglas MD-80 commuter jet. Testing involved vibrating the blade on a "shaker table" to mimic 14 million pairs of takeoffs and landings, a nine-month process. Such thoroughness was enough to satisfy the FAA, but EB didn't stop there. It commissioned Vextec, in Brentwood, Tennessee, to run some tests of its own.
Vextec's software predicts with scary accuracy how and when products will fail–even before they're made. The simulations, which took only three months to run and required the crunching power of a mere laptop computer, estimated where and when the cracking in the titanium would start–within a quarter of an inch (on a 3-foot-long by 6-inch-wide blade) and within 1% of the number of physical testing cycles. With Vextec's help, "maybe by the fourth [project], the FAA won't make [EB] run any physical tests at all," says Dominick DaCosta, chief operating officer of DERS Group Services, an engineering consultancy that advises the FAA on parts testing.
Crows EB President James Bickel: "This will get us to market more quickly, and that's a big competitive advantage."
Meet Vextec, No.1 on FORBES' new list of America's Most Promising Companies. Founded in 2000, Vextec is the brainchild of engineering trio Loren Nasser, 49, Robert Tryon, 50, and Animesh Dey, 40. Their aim: to hasten the design of everything from engine parts to medical devices–all while slashing research-and-development expenses and even opening doors for new competitors, like EB Airfoils. "They're part of what I see as a profound change from many decades of traditional physical design," says Thomas Cruse, senior consultant to the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and former chief technologist at Air Force Research Laboratory.
Tryon and Dey hooked up while getting Ph.D.s in structural engineering at Vanderbilt University. (Dey, born in West Bengal, India, came to the U.S. in 1991 for his graduate work.) Tryon knew materials, Dey computer modeling–and later opened a consultancy to help U.S. automakers gauge the life spans of their components. Nasser, a rocketpropulsion scientist, met Tryon as an undergraduate at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, in Terre Haute, Indiana; he went on to spent 17 years at Sverdrup, an engineering firm, where he rose through the businessdevelopment ranks. When the company was acquired by Jacobs Engineering in 1999, Nasser convinced Tryon and Dey to expand their horizons. Tryon had "some stuff in his head," says Nasser. "If it was significant in Bob's head, I thought I could make money on it. He's one of the smartest people I know."
The threesome has managed to do what few high-tech entrepreneurs can: create a profitable enterprise without diluting their ownership stakes or going deep into debt. In 2000 they won a $100,000 Small Business Innovation Research grant from the U.S. Air Force to model the performance of an array of turbine-engine components made from titanium aluminide. Since then Vextec has raised nearly $20 million, mostly through similar grants awarded by various U.S. federal agencies. Nasser, Tryon and Dey still own 100% of the company, now with 28 employees. Vextec posted $3 million in sales in 2008 and has been profitable since its first year in business.
Simulation software has been around for decades. Still, modeling the behavior of materials under stress remained mired in what Cruse calls "make it, shake it and break it." Here's why.
Say an engineer wants to design a bridge. Traditional software can estimate stresses on a given support beam, so he knows how strong it has to be. On top of that, he adds a safety factor (thicker steel or more beams); the greater the safety factor, the less likely the bridge will buckle, but the more it will cost to build. Two problems with this crude method: Not all beams are identical, and the same goes for the steel the beams are made of.
Vextec broke this barrier by marrying metallurgy with math. In this example, its models would be based on a statistical distribution of a beam's thickness, the beam's width and the grain structure of the steel. (Steel is a blend of microscopic bits of iron and carbon, among other things.) The software would also weave in data on the common ways certain materials tend to break. (Just as different grades of steel bend, crack and shear differently, so do the same grades with slightly different grain patterns.) Armed with those variables, engineers could not only model how one beam would behave in operation but also the probability that any one of a family of beams would crack. Result: a more accurate estimate of what the bridge would ultimately cost to build–and all without having to do a single physical test.
"Those prognostics are something that's been sought after by manufacturers for decades," says David Odom, principal at Milcom Venture Partners, which works with the U.S. Army to bring its technologies to the masses.
Nasser and company spent the first seven years earning their grant money doing investigative research on things like faulty gearboxes in Navy helicopters used in Afghanistan. Now Vextec is moving into the commercial realm. In the last two years it has run 12 simulation projects for the likes of Cummins, BorgWarner and Lockheed Martin, charging between $50,000 and $250,000 per project. Licensing its software will come later, says Nasser; he is still working out a pricing scheme.
Last year Cummins wanted to know how accurately Vextec could predict cracking in cast-iron blocks from which its diesel engines for trucks, buses and tractors are made. Cummins had reams of data on block failures already, thanks to a lot of physical testing. Its engineers hook the blocks to hydraulic rigs and shake them until they crack, maybe a month later. To get a reliable picture, they run the tests three or four times, typically leading to multiple redesigns, involving various materials, thicknesses and dimensions. Each iteration, from casting to testing, might burn a few months and $150,000.
Enter Vextec's engineers, four of whom work in a 4,800-square-foot lab across from Terre Haute International Airport. Their first step: carving out a sample of the iron block, mounting it and getting a good look at its grain structure under a $300,000 electron microscope that Vextec rents from nearby Rose-Hulman University. The microscope scans cross sections of the sample and translates them into threedimensional digital images.
Back at headquarters in leafy Brentwood, Vextec's developers built a statistical model that estimated what the blocks could handle, for how long and over what production volume. The variables this time: a series of structural designs and ranges of operating pressures and temperatures. "They accurately predicted a few areas that would crack first," says Sean Milloy, chief technology officer of Cummins' engine unit.
Better yet, instead of muddling through three or four alternative designs over the course of a year, Cummins could test up to 100 different designs (and with varying materials) in 45 days, saving at least $5 million in R&D expenses–well worth the $150,000 fee charged by Vextec. "We want to take it to the next level," adds Milloy. "It broadens our ability to design tremendously."
In 2008 an aircraft parts manufacturer was looking to tweak the design of a plane's aluminum skin in the hope of cutting production time. The skin surrounding the body and wings was connected to the airframe by thousands of rivets. The planemaker wanted to experiment with a new machine that promised to drill the rivet holes in half the time by reducing the number of drill passes. Vextec's software predicted that those holes would invite cracking around the rivets three times as fast as traditionally drilled holes would. The manufacturer scrapped the redesign, saving 18 months and perhaps $2 million in testing costs.
One problem with running custom simulations is that it's not exactly a scalable business. While Nasser figures "a four-times increase in staff can yield a ten-times increase in revenue," he would much rather license his software–even deliver it over the Web– and let manufacturers do their own number crunching. That is, if Vextec doesn't jeopardize its replacement-parts business at the same time.
For now Vextec is going after everyone. "The only reason we would limit ourselves is if someone pays us so much money that it would be a benefit not to sell to others," says Nasser.
Finding the Hot Spots
In June the U.S. Air Force asked Vextec to predict potential cracking in its fleet of A-10 Thunderbolt twin-engine jets, made by Fairchild Republic from 1975 to 1986. This is a basic snapshot of one jet after 392 hours of service. The darkest hues–on the wing, fuselage and tail–correspond to areas that need immediate repair or replacement; lighter pink areas need inspection; and white areas are safe zones.

Skip to comments.Atlantic Editor Wonders If Morsi Wants to Be Dictator or Abe Lincoln
Posted on 12/06/2012 11:39:12 AM PST by PJ-Comix
Does Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi desire to become a dictator...or another Abraham Lincoln?
Did that question make you burst out laughing? If so, please be prepared for an even bigger laugh when you watch Atlantic editor Steve Clemons expend brain cells while struggling to figure out the answer to that question in his column. So laughable are the efforts of Clemons trying to come up with what to even slightly aware people is the obvious answer that you might need an oxygen mask due to an inability to catch a breath:
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
For all practical purposes, he's already there . . . .
"Dictator or Abe Lincoln"
I'll let you in on a little secret.
There are quite a few around here who consider this a nonsensical question, since they consider Lincoln to have been a dictator, and one of the very worst.
And that isn't because they're leftist.
Same thing. The title used depends on which side wins.
What a maroon.
"The title used depends on which side wins"
Not really. A lot of Lincoln supporters are happy to call him a dictator. The Cincinnatus kind, not the Caesar kind. A lot of Northerners also were anti-Lincoln. That's howcome they had to cheat in the '64 election.
I quite agree. I just find it interesting that Lincoln is attacked from both the Left and from some who claim to be of the Right.
Yup, they cheated by having the war on an obvious road to victory by the time of the election.
Lincoln won 55% of the popular vote and 212 to 21 in the EC.
Ironically, had (white) southerners voted Lincoln would have lost at least the popular vote, though not perhaps the EC.
Not sure Abe Lincoln would care for this ongoing likeness to Islamic, Christian & Jew hating, anti U.S. Constitutional despots.
Are they talking about Obama?
Are you sure about that?
I disagree with The South Will Rise Again types on a number of issues, but not because they're leftists.
Leftism, at its core, is an attempt to impose, by force if necessary, equality on humanity. It rejects the American idea because the equality of the Declaration of Independence is limited to legal equality, not attempting to impose social or economic equality.
The South's counter-revolution in 1860 rejected the American idea from the other side. It rejected the notion that all men are created equal at all, and wanted to install a master race that would rule over slave races, permanently.
That's an evil ideology, but it isn't leftist.
When I said there were anti-Lincolners in the North I didn't mean to imply it was enough for Democrats to win. Cheat they did, anyway. That's a widely accepted historical fact. Made assurance doubly sure.
Your arguments lose force when you realize:
1. Whatever you think is the American idea, it somehow had slavery for its entire history up to that point
2. As a corrollary to that, the North had slavery too while the South was supposedly fighting against the American idea
3. The counter-revolutionaries' counterparts offered between secession and war to strengthen slavery, so where was this phantom American idea then?
4. Finally, there was hardly full legal equality in the North even after the war, let alone social and economic.
I'm not rearguing whether or not slavery caused the war. I am saying you're plain wrong to think legal equality for all races was always the American idea. It wasn't. It only became so with time. Also, I'm saying if the South was an enemy of that idea and evil for enslaving people, it was not so alone. The North was, too.
You may have fallen for Lincoln's pet trick of pretending the Republic originated not with ratification of the Constitution, but rather in the foggy realm of the mystical cords of memory represented by the Declaration. He argued so to render secession illegal, not because he so despised inequality.
You care to provide something vaguely resembling evidence that the results of the 1864 elections were not valid?
I have no clue what you mean by that post. Try to be a little more coherent and I'll be glad to reply.
Look, nobody is claiming that the Union was based on initial full implementation of the ideal that "all men are created equal." Obviously not. However, that ideal was always there, however imperfectly addressed.
Until the CSA explicitly pronounced that the Founders were wrong in their claim that "all men are created equal," that the new CSA was founded on the cornerstone truth that some men aren't equal, they are by nature slaves to the master race.
If I remember correctly the House passed a Constitutional amendment to ban any constitutional amendments to ban slavery, the Senate also passed it 2 days later and President Buchanan signed it the same day.
Lincoln was sworn in a day later. He apparently did not campaign against the Constitutional amendment.
Only 3 states ratified it, though. So nothing ever came of it, even though it was a huge deal to those in Congress in those few days.
I was thinking if the amendment, yes, and had the South capitulated and returned to the union Lincoln could have backed up the carrot by pushing for the requisite states to ratify.
I was also thinking of the Fugitive Slave Act, which Lincoln repeatedly vowed to enforce and repeal of which he fought against.

I think he said he wouldn't fight that amendment, but he didn't have to apparently.
How very tricky of Lincoln!
Nobody else has ever thought this, which is why our national holiday is celebrated in June not July.
