The present invention relates to automatic molded case industrial circuit breakers and particularly to such circuit breakers having static or solid state trip units instead of the traditional thermal-magnetic trip units.
Electronic solid state trip units are increasingly being implemented in industrial circuit breakers in place of the traditional thermal and magnetic trip units to initiate circuit interruption automatically in response to an abnormal current condition in a protected load circuit. The increasing popularity of static trip units is largely due to their inherent versatility and rather precise repeatability of selected trip-time response characteristics. That is, a circuit breaker static trip unit can be designed to accommodate a wide range of user selected response characteristics calculated to establish a highly repeatable trip-time curve rather precisely tailored to a particular load so as to afford a full measure of overcurrent protection ranging from light overload to heavy short circuit proportions. Another attractive aspect of static trip units is that they can be readily and economically supplemented to also afford ground fault protection for a load circuit. In fact, the extreme versatility of modern static trip units presents a potential customer for an industrial circuit breaker with numerous options, i.e., functions, analogous to what one faces when buying a new automobile.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an improved static trip unit for industrial molded case circuit breakers.
A further object is to provide a static trip unit of compact size capable of being incorporated in a circuit breaker molded case of the same envelope size as one incorporating a traditional thermal and/or magnetic trip unit.
Yet another object is to provide a static trip unit of the above character having readily interchangeable modular parts to facilitate the accommodation of customer needs in terms of options or functions.
An additional object is to provide a static trip unit of the above character wherein the interchangeability of modules facilitates field servicing and accommodates the addition of options to increase the capabilities of circuit breakers already in the field.
Still another object is to provide a static trip unit of the above character which is efficient in construction, convenient to fabricate and assemble, and readily integrable into a molded case industrial circuit breaker, both in the factory and in the field.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and in part appear hereinafter.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a static trip unit of such compact size as to be capable of physical incorporation in molded case industrial circuit breakers of the smaller frame sizes without increasing the case dimensions. That is, the static trip unit of the present invention can be incorporated in a circuit breaker molded case of the same physical size as one accommodating a traditional thermal-magnetic trip unit.
More specifically, the subject static trip unit is comprised of a current transformer module and an electronic programmer module. The current transformer module consists of a plurality of individual current transformers, one for each breaker pole, each having a closed magnetic core embracing a conductive load strap constituting a single turn primary winding. Each core carries at least one bobbin on which is wound a multiturn transformer secondary winding. The current transformers are secured in spaced, side-by-side relation to the underside of an insulative support or housing which also serves to mount a circuit board in position immediately above the transverse array of current transformers. The terminations of the transformer secondary windings are brought out for electrical connection to various terminal points on the circuit board.
The programmer module includes an insulative housing in which is mounted a second circuit board carrying the electronic components, including integrated circuit components, necessary to perform the requisite static trip unit functions. Upon assembly of the programmer module to the current transformer module, electrical connectors carried by the respective circuit boards are mated, such that the transformer secondary windings are electrically connected into the programmer.
The assembled trip unit is then placed in a transversely elongated cavity provided in the molded base of the circuit breaker case in intersecting relation with the breaker pole chambers adjacent the load ends thereof. The inner ends of the load straps assume respective overlapping positions with and are bolted in electrical connect to conductive pads secured to the base in each pole chamber and, in turn, individually electrically connected by braids to their respective movable contact arms. The outer ends of the load straps respectively assume overlapping positions with separate metal pads secured to the base. Bolts threaded into tapped holes in these metal pads clamp individual load lugs in electrical connection with the outer ends of each load strap. These electrical connections, in addition to routing the phase currents individually through the primary windings of the respective current transformers, serve to physically secure the trip unit in the base of the breaker case. The cover, as secured to the base to complete the breaker molded case, is provided with a window exposing the upper end of the trip unit and rendering accessible various programmer control knobs for adjustably establishing the desired response characteristics of the trip unit to abnormal phase current conditions.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.

Corresponding reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
A three-pole, static trip circuit breaker, generally indicated at 20 in FIG. 1, is seen to include a molded case consisting of a base 22 and a cover 24 removably secured together by suitable means, such as screws 25. An operating handle 26 protrudes through a centrally located opening 24a in the cover front wall to accommodate manual operation of the breaker between its open and closed conditions. Adjacent the lower or load end of the breaker a transversely elongated window 24b is provided in the cover to expose the upper end surface of a static trip unit, generally indicated at 28. A window pane 30, normally secured by screws 31 in closure relation with window 24b, is removed to access control knobs 32 for adjusting the response characteristics of the static trip unit.
As seen in FIG. 2, the internal circuit for each breaker pole includes, in series, a line lug 34 secured in electrical connection with outer end of a line strap 35 which mounts at its inner end a stationary contact 36. A movable arm 37 carries adjacent its free end a movable contact 38 for engagement with the stationary contact to conduct current through the arm and a flexible braid 39 to a conductive pad 40. An inverted U-shaped load strap 41 has its inner end portion in overlapping relation with pad 40 and its outer end portion in overlapping relation with the outer end portion of a metal support pad 42 which is secured to the floor 22a of base 22 by screws 42a. The inner end portion of the load strap is clamped in electrical connection with pad 40 by a bolt 43 threaded into the tapped bore of an insert 43a anchored in the floor 22a of the base. One or more screws 44 are threaded into tapped holes in support pad 42 to clamp a load lug 45 in electrical connection with the outer end portion of load strap 41, completing the internal series circuit for one breaker pole.
It is understood that the above-mentioned parts are duplicated in each breaker pole to provide, in the illustrated embodiment, three parallel, electrically isolated breaker pole circuits. The three movable contact arms 38 are ganged together by a crossbar 46 for concerted movement between open and closed circuit positions by a suitable operating mechanism, such as a spring powered toggle mechanism as disclosed in Jencks et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,053,954. This operating mechanism includes a cradle or trigger 47 which is releaseably held in a reset or untripped position by a latch mechanism, generally indicated at 48 in FIG. 2, so as to effect closure of the breaker contacts by handle 26. As best seen in FIG. 3, the latch mechanism includes a transversely elongated trip bar 50 which is impacted by the plunger 52a of a trip solenoid 52 upon pulsing of its coil under the control of static trip unit 28 pursuant to initiating a trip function automatically in response to an abnormal phase current condition. The solenoid plunger tripping impact induces swinging movement of the trip bar effective in conditioning latch mechanism 48 to release cradle 47, whereupon the breaker operating mechanism springs (not shown) discharge to abruptly swing movable contact arms 38 to their open circuit position. Tripping of the circuit breaker may also be precipitated manually by depression of a trip pushbutton 54 mounted by the cover as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2. The lower conical tip of the pushbutton engages trip bar 50 to induce the requisite, trip initiating swinging movement thereof.
As seen in FIG. 4, load straps 41 in the three breaker poles are parts of the static trip unit assembly, and thus the electrical joints effected by bolts 43 and 44 seen in FIG. 2 also serve to positionally secure the trip unit in base 22 of the breaker molded case. Actually each load strap is part of a separate current transformer subassembly, generally indicated at 56 in FIG. 4 and including a generally rectangular magnetic core 58 embracing its associated load strap and in turn embraced at locations above and below the load strap by a pair of bobbins 60. Each bobbin carries a multiturn winding 62, with the two windings electrically connected in series to provide a single current transformer secondary winding of the desired number of turns. Each load strap constitutes a single-turn primary winding carrying the phase current for the breaker pole in which it is electrically connected.
The current transformer sub-assemblies are part of a current transformer module, generally indicated at 64 in FIG. 4. This module includes an open rectangular support structure or housing 66 formed of molded insulative plastic material. The current transformer subassemblies 56 are nested into the open underside of housing 66 in side-by-side relation and secured in place by screws 67 extending through holes 41a in the load straps and threaded into preformed holes (not shown) in the housing wall. Seated on a perimetrical ledge (not shown) recessed from the upper edges of the housing sidewalls is a printed circuit board 68 having terminal points or pads to which the terminations of the three current transformer secondary windings 62 are electrically connected. This circuit board may also be provided with conductor runs and components mounted to its underside for implementing a crowbarring circuit automatically effective in dissipating dangerously high secondary voltage levels induced in secondary windings 62. As an additional feature, the housing is provided with a pair of rearwardly extending projections 66a accommodating terminal strips 69 having pronged inner ends 69a rigidly solder connected to circuit board terminal pads. The outer ends of these terminal strips are equipped with binding head terminal screws 70 facilitating the electrical connection into circuit board 68 of the terminations of the secondary winding for an external neutral current transformer (not shown) when the static trip unit is designed to provide ground fault protection for a three phase load circuit including a neutral conductor. These terminal screws also serve to secure circuit board in place. Terminal strips 69 are concealed by cover 24 when secured in closure relation with base 22. Molded into housing 66 are partitions and depending barriers 66b serving to provide interphase isolation between adjacent current transformer sub-assemblies 56.
Completing the static trip unit assembly is a programmer module, generally indicated at 72 in FIG. 4. This module includes a shallow rectangular support structure or housing 74 formed of molded insulative plastic. Captured within the open bottom of this housing is another printed circuit board 76 which carries conductor runs, discrete components, integrated circuit chips, etc., making up signal processing circuitry for performing the various circuit protective functions called for. The upper wall of housing 74 is suitably apertured, as indicated at 74a, to accommodate the protrusion of the control shafts for various switches 77 mounted by circuit board 76. The exposed upper ends of these shafts carry the control knobs 32 seen in FIG. 1. Also carried by circuit board 76 are a plurality of depending male pin connectors 78 which mate with female pin connectors 79 when programmer module 72 is seated atop current transformer module 64. The currents developed in the various current transformer secondary windings 62 by the phase currents flowing through load straps 41 are routed by circuit board 68 and the mated pin connectors 78, 79 to the programmer circuit board 76. These secondary currents provide operating power for the programmer electronics and signals indicative of the phase current magnitudes which are processed by the programmer electronics pursuant to determining if and when a trip function is to be initiated. The assembly of the programmer and current transformer modules is secured by screws 80 passing through clearance holes in programmer module housing 74 and threaded into preformed bores in current transformer module housing 66. Molded with the latter housing is an upstanding projection 66b which, upon assembly of the two modules, is received in a notch 74b formed in programmer module housing 74. The flat upper surface of this projection is flush with the upper surface of housing 74 and receives a label 32a seen in FIG. 1, identifying a current rating for the current transformers as determined by their turns ratio. This current rating corresponds to the continuous current rating of the circuit breaker and establishes the current magnitude factor to which the adjustable programmer current settings are calibrated.
From the description thus far, it is seen that by modularizing static trip unit 28 into separate programmer and current transformer modules which themselves are readily interchangeable, manufacturing and stocking economies are achieved. Thus, a circuit breaker can be economically produced on essentially a shop order basis taking from stock the current transformer module having the current rating specified by the customer and the programmer module having the specified functional capabilities, assembling the modules into a static trip unit, and then installing the trip unit in the breaker molded case. In fact, these operations may be performed at various distributor locations, rather than at a single factory location. Moreover, current transformer modules may be interchanged to change a particular breaker's continuous current rating within the limits of its frame size. Programmer modules may be interchanged to add or subtract functions, such as ground fault protection, short time pickup and delay, fault indication, etc. Economies in field servicing are also achieved since, in all likelihood, only one of the two trip unit modules need be replaced to rectify any trip unit field problem.
Trip solenoid 52, seen in FIG. 3, has its energizing coil terminations brought out via wires 82 to a plug connector 84 seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. This plug connector is slidingly received in a socket or receptable 74c molded into programmer module housing 74. Wires 82 are terminated in separate female pin connectors for electrical engagement with a pair of upstanding male pin connectors 86 carried by programmer circuit board 76 as the plug connector is slid downwardly into receptacle 74c. The trip solenoid is thus wired into the programmer, ready to initiate a trip function in response to a trip signal pulse generated by the programmer electronics. The connected position of plug 84 in recess 74b is releaseably sustained by a resilient hook 88 (FIG. 5) molded into programmer module housing 74.
To facilitate positional mounting of the trip solenoid in one outside pole of the circuit breaker, a pin 90 (FIG. 4) is press-fitted in a hole provided in the load strap 41 stationed in that breaker pole. A bracket 91 (FIG. 3), supporting the trip solenoid, is provided with a depending flange 92 (FIG. 4) having a hole 92a into which pin 90 is inserted to positionally locate the free end of plunger 52a in confronting relation with trip bar 50. A bolt 93 (FIG. 3) projecting through a hole in a laterally turned flange 91a of bracket 91 and threaded into the breaker base, serves to secure the operational position of the trip solenoid. As seen in FIG. 4, the other outside pole load strap may also be equipped with a pin 90 serving to positionally locate a shunt trip or undervoltage release solenoid accessory (not shown) in this breaker pole in the same manner as the trip solenoid 52 in the other outside pole. The accessory solenoid plunger would also act on the trip bar 50 to trip the circuit breaker.
Latch mechanism 48, seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, will now be described in greater detail in conjunction with FIGS. 6 through 12. Thus the latch mechanism includes a supporting frame 100 (FIGS. 6, 9 and 10) having a back wall 100a, opposed sidewalls 100b and a bottom wall 100c. Bolts 102, extending through holes in the frame backwall, are threaded into tapped holes 103 (FIG. 4) provided in the center pole line strap 41. Also, bolt 43, making the electrical joint between the center pole load strap 41 and center pole conductive pad 40, extends through a hole in the frame bottom wall, thereby fixedly securing the latch mechanism in place in the center pole region of the circuit breaker. A primary latch 104 is pivotally and slidably mounted by a transverse pin 106 mounted by the frame sidewalls 100b. Torsion springs 108 bias the primary latch both rightwardly and in the clockwise direction, as viewed in FIGS. 7 and 8, into position to latchably engage the tip of cradle 47 (FIG. 2) pursuant to retaining the breaker operating mechanism in its reset condition. Counterclockwise torque exerted on the primary latch by the operating mechanism springs is normally resisted by a roller pin 110 carried by a secondary latch 112 pivotally mounted by a pin 113 carried by latch mechanism frame 100. The resulting counterclockwise torque exerted on the secondary latch is normally resisted by a transverse latch pin 114 rotatably mounted between the frame sidewalls. More specifically, as seen in FIG. 7, the upper tip 112a of the secondary latch normally engages the periphery of the latch pin at a longitudinal location aligned with a notch 114a formed therein. It is thus seen that when the latch pin is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the secondary latch tip 112a rides off the latch pin periphery into the space left by notch 114a. The secondary latch is thus unlatched and free to pivot in the counterclockwise direction. The unlatching restraint imposed on the primary latch by the secondary latch roller pin 110 is thus removed, and the primary latch is freed to pivot in the counterclockwise direction. Cradle 47 is thus released to swing in the clockwise direction viewed in FIG. 2, and the circuit breaker is tripped to effect abrupt separation of the breaker contacts.
Trip bar 50 is mounted by a bail 120 pivotally mounted adjacent its ends by screws 122 threaded into the frame sidewalls 100b, as seen in FIG. 6. This bail, also seen in FIGS. 9 through 12, is biased in the counterclockwise direction by a torsion spring 124 to a quiescent position determined by the abutment of a bail mounted atop tab 126 against a stop 127 (FIGS. 6 and 11) carried by frame 100. Also mounted by bail 120 is a depending trip tab 128 (FIGS. 9, 11 and 12) positioned in confronting relation with the upper end of a trip pin 130 radially mounted by latch pin 114 adjacent its right end as seen in FIG. 6.
From the foregoing description, it is seen that when the trip solenoid coil is pulsed by a trip signal generated by the programmer, its plunger 52a (FIG. 3) springs out into tripping impact with trip bar 50. As viewed in FIGS. 11 and 12, bail 120 is thus pivoted in the clockwise direction, swinging trip tab 128 rightwardly to pick up the upper end of trip pin 130 and induce an increment of clockwise rotation of latch pin 114 sufficient to unlatch secondary latch (FIGS. 7 and 8) and precipitates tripping of the circuit breaker.
It will be appreciated that should the circuit breaker 20 be put into service without either programmer module 72 or trip solenoid 52 in place, its ability to provide any form of circuit protection is lost. Absent the programmer module, there is no means to process the current transformer secondary signals. On the other hand, if the trip solenoid is absent or not wired into the programmer module electronics, there is no means to act in response to programmer generated trip signals. To guard against the potentially hazardous consequences attending the inadvertent failure to install these components, a trip interlock lever 134 is journalled on bushing 100d carried by the right frame sidewall 100b as best seen in FIG. 9. A torsion spring 136, carried by a pin 138 mounted by the right frame sidewall, has its one end 136a hooked on the lower end of trip pin 130 and its other end 136b acting on the lower end of trip interlock lever 134, as best seen in FIGS. 11 and 12. Acting on the upper end of the trip interlock lever is a nose 140 which is integrally molded with the body of plug connector 84 (FIG. 5.). However, if either the programmer module or the trip solenoid, or both are not installed, or they are both installed but the plug connection wiring the trip solenoid into the programmer electronics has not been made, nose 140 is obviously absent. This situation is depicted in FIG. 10. Spring 136 rotates trip interlock lever 134 in the clockwise direction, and this motion is communicated to latch pin 114 by the engagement of a hub shoulder 134a of the interlock lever with trip pin 130. The latch pin is thus angularly oriented to its tripping position seen in FIG. 8. Consequently, all restraints against counterclockwise pivotal movement of primary latch 104 are moved, and it is incapable of sustaining cradle 47 in its reset position. Thus, the breaker operating mechanism can not be reset, a prerequisite to subsequent closure of the breaker contacts.
On the other hand, when plug connector 84 is fully inserted into receptacle 74c provided in programmer module housing 74 to electrically connect the trip solenoid with the programmer electronics, conditions seen in FIGS. 11 and 12 are achieved. Specifically, nose 140 of the plug connector engages the upper tip of the trip interlock lever to rotate this lever in the counterclockwise direction. This motion is coupled to latch pin 114 by spring 136, which is then rotated in the counterclockwise direction to its latching angular position seen in FIG. 7. The secondary latch tip 112a then engages the latch pin periphery, enabling the primary latch to hold the cradle in its reset position when the breaker operating mechanism is manually reset by handle 26.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent in the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Last week was not exactly my best week ever!
I was SO ready for the weekend to roll around so that I could relax a little. And by relax a little I really mean sleep till noon, play like 10,000 games of Fruit Ninja, watch a bunch of movies and eat Keebler Deluxe Graham Cookies straight out of the freezer all while never changing out of my pajamas.
Don't judge. I needed it!
I also made soup. Because what's more comforting than soup? Okay, well someone making me soup would have been better, but beggars can't be choosers.
Pasta e Fagioli is one of my favorites – warm and creamy and chock full of goodness, it's one of the few soups that actually leaves me full. And it's super simple which is even better.
Because it leaves me more time for important things like Fruit Ninja…
Pasta e Fagioli
Yields: 4 servings as a main dish or 6 servings as a side
1- 2 tbs. olive oil
¼ lb. Italian Sausage*
½ small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. white wine, like Pinot Grigio
3 c. chicken stock
1 – 14.5 oz. can of Navy Beans, drained and rinsed
1 – 14.5 oz. can of Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 tbs. fresh thyme
1 tbs. fresh oregano
Salt to taste
¼ tsp. black pepper
1c. pasta of your choice (I like a Mezze Penne), cooked
In a large Dutch oven, cook the sausage in 1 tbs. olive oil. Remove the sausage from the pan and drain on paper towel.
Sauté the onion in remaining oil, adding a little more to the pan if necessary, for 3-4 minutes until almost tender. Add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes longer.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook 1-2 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated. Add the chicken stock, navy beans, kidney beans, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
If you prefer your soup a little bit thicker, remove 1 cup of the vegetable mixture and puree it in the blender, then return it to the pot. Otherwise just proceed to the next step.
Add the sausage back to the pan and the cooked pasta, and simmer a few minutes longer until they are heated through. Serve immediately.
*Notes: You can make this with either Italian Sausage, pork sausage, ground turkey or beef, Pancetta or lardons of thick cut bacon. Whichever you prefer, just brown it first, and follow the same steps as for the sausage listed above.

The judge in the court martial of Bradley Manning, the former US Army analyst accused of pilfering reams of classified cables and military reports and giving them to WikiLeaks, today peremptorily declined to drop the most serious of the charges - that he "aided the enemy" - for which he faces a possible life sentence.
Dressed in his dark green military suit with sharp creases and epaulettes, Pvt Manning, who is a dual nationality British-American, leaned forward in his seat at the defence table, jaws clenched, listening intently as Judge Denise Lind read through her lengthy ruling. There had been some speculation from legal experts before today that defence motions for the dismissal of the gravest charges in the case had some hope of success.
For civil liberty and press freedom advocates – and certainly for the defence here – her ruling was blunt and seemingly unequivocal. "He was knowingly providing information to the enemy," Judge Lind said reading a long, legalistic account of her reasoning from the bench. "He knew he was dealing with the enemy".
"We are disappointed," conceded Jeff Paterson, director of the Bradley Manning Support Network, who, among other sympathisers in black T-shirts with 'Truth' slogans printed across them, was in the closely guarded and windowless courtroom for the proceedings. But putting on a brave face, he noted that her decision didn't preclude her finding Pvt. Manning not guilty on these and other charges when she delivers final verdicts.
"We are very hopeful that as a matter of law when it comes to 'beyond a reasonable doubt' Bradley Manning will be found innocent of the prosecution's charges. Because he is, it's that simple. This is the first time in American history that someone is facing these charges for giving information to a media outlet for the greater good." He noted that while the US government is not seeking the death penalty in this case it could in similar cases in the future. "It would be a terrible precedent to set up the legal framework to execute a whistleblower," he said.
Underway since 3 June, the non-jury trial at Fort Meade, a US Army base located close to the National Security Agency, NSA, in Maryland north of Washington, is now approaching its conclusion. Judge Lind will render her verdicts, possibly as early as next week. That will be followed immediately by sentencing proceedings which may last several more weeks with both sides presenting additional evidence and witness testimony.
Few trial days have started with as much as suspense as today, however. Pvt Manning appeared to be blinking swiftly when Judge Lind made clear she was denying the motions to dismiss and his chief lawyer, David Coombs asked for a recess, presumably to give his client and his team time emotionally to regroup. A finding of guilty of 'aiding the enemy' would normally lead to a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
The defence had argued that press freedom was stake here because by equating the transfer of classified materials to the media with 'aiding the enemy' – essentially treason – the government was creating a framework of intimidation for "people for getting information out to the press, to basically put . . . a hammer down on any whistleblower."
Testifying for the defence earlier this week, Harvard law professor Yochai Benkler concurred. He emphasised that WikiLeaks was a "legitimate journalistic organization". Indeed, under questioning from Judge Lind this week, the prosecution conceded that had Pvt Manning sent the information to The New York Times or the Washington Post he would have faced exactly the same charges.
"Once you accept that WikiLeaks is a new journalistic organization that can be read by anyone with an Internet connection . . . that essentially means that any leak to a media organization that can be read by any enemy anywhere in the world becomes automatically aiding the enemy," Mr Benkler testified.
A military legal source at Fort Meade noted that even had the 'aiding the enemy' charge been dropped, the defendant would still have been facing a total of 154 years behind bars if found guilty of all the other charges involved in the case. Pvt Manning pleaded guilty to 10 lesser charges earlier this year which alone could put him in prison for 20 years. He has pleaded not guilty to 12 additional, graver charges including that of aiding the enemy.
A slight man with frameless glasses and the usual military haircut, Pvt manning is accused of setting in train the largest leaking of classified information in the history of the US. Prosecutors say he leaked the documents, reports, cables and videos to WikiLeaks in early 2010. The subsequent posting of large amounts of that information on the WikiLeaks site seriously embarrassed the United States, causing a global diplomatic flap.
His trial in recent weeks has been somewhat eclipsed, however, by the case of Edward Snowden, who remains holed up in Moscow's international airport after disclosing the NSA's broad and previously undisclosed reach into private telephone data and Internet traffic. However, yesterday's finding by Judge Lind might send a chilling message to Mr Snowden – that if he ever is tried on US soil, he may face the similar charges of aiding the enemy.
The assertion that Pvt Manning aided the enemy turns in part on prosecution testimony that some of the material that found its way to the WikiLeaks site was harvested by al-Qa'ida operatives and copies of it where subsequently found at the Pakistan lair of Osama bin Laden when he was killed by Navy Seals. "He knew exactly what he was doing," military prosecutor Capt. Angel Overgaard said. "He knew exactly the consequences of his actions."
In her ruling, Judge Lind said the prosecution had supplied sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Pvt Manning was knowingly transmitting information to known enemies, including al-Qa'ida. She also refused to dismiss a separate charge relating to computer fraud.
Mr Combs had contended that his client could not have known for sure that anything he leaked would reach al-Qa'ida hands. Pvt Manning, he told the court, never had "actual knowledge" the documents would be of help to terrorist and enemies of America. "The army does not know whether the enemy goes to WikiLeaks," Coombs told the judge. "We simply do not know."
Both sides have rested their cases. Judge Lind will hear a rebuttal to the defence case. Thereafter closing arguments will get under way before she considers her verdicts.

President Barack Obama has said that before approving any drone strike, there must be "near-certainty" civilians will not be hurt, in a major national security speech.
But, speaking at the National Defence University, Washington DC, the president said it was a "hard fact" that innocent lives had been lost.
Mr Obama said: "For me, and those in my chain of command, these deaths will haunt us as long as we live."

Security in the Cloud
The image of a cloud is often used to represent the Internet or any other large networked environment and now it has given rise to the IT industry's latest buzz phrase 'Cloud computing'. Cloud computing involves a provider delivering a variety of IT enabled resources to consumers as a service over the Internet and industry pundits have claimed that in five years, cloud technology will have a footprint in every business that does IT, changing the entire computer industry. At the front end are the client computers and the application required to access the cloud computing system. At the back end are the various computers, servers and data storage systems that create the 'Cloud' of computing services.

This is Matt Wright and he is the manliest man you'll ever meet. Wright is a 'muster pilot' from the Australian Outback who wrangles, relocates and protects cattle herds – not with a horse or truck, but with a helicopter.
Wait, what?! Yes, a helicopter. Whipping, flipping, and swooping around the flood plains of Australia's Northern Territory, Wright patrols an area about the size of Singapore and redefines the modern cowboy as he uses his helicopter to herd thousands of cattle over the area.
Growing up in the outdoors, Wright knew that working in the big city as a businessman was not the way for him – nor was spending hours and hours on a slow horse. "I love the land," he says, "but I didn't want to be on a horse for the rest of my life."
If it's a big croc, you really have to sit down and think how are you going to move this thing, or actually catch it.Matt Wright
When working, Wright regularly flies below 150m, but sometimes he will fly as low as 3m to herd the cattle, and at incredible speeds there is no room for error. "You're down low, amongst the trees – you've just got to have your wits about you. You can't make mistakes out here, if you do – it's very unforgiving," Wright said.
But it's not only about cattle, Wright also uses his helicopter handling skills to move crocodiles that find their way into the flood plains and endanger the cattle. The giant, dinosaur-like lizards can grow over 5m in length in this area, so you can imagine how 'easy' it is to wrangle one and relocate it.
"If it's a big croc, you really have to sit down and think how are you going to move this thing, or actually catch it," says Wright. "You make a mistake with a big animal – it's not a good mistake to make."
Fortunately, that's another one of Wright's specialties. Without batting an eye, he is able to humanely catch, wrangle and move the crocs – so it's not a big issue. Hmmm, we might have to trust the expert here.

Tough conditions still face the Transat Jacques Vabre fleet of 35 yachts as it left Le Havre bound for Costa Rica after a 72-hour delay to allow the worst of an Atlantic depression to blow through at over 50 knots.
British skipper Mike Golding, who, with Franco-Canadian Bruno Dubois, is racing the 60-foot Gamesa, said: "The team is still expecting strong winds up to 40 knots and big seas, and there is still a threat of another depression."
The other British skipper is Alex Thomson, who shares responsibilities on Hugo Boss with Spain's Guillermo Altadil.
Confirmation that Prada boss Patrizio Bertelli is entering a challenge for the America's Cup in 2013 was announced in Milan, though he has switched the Italian base of his challenge from Punta Ala to Palermo, Sicily, and the Circolo della Vela Siciliana.
He has also set up an alliance with one of the two other major challengers, Emirates team New Zealand. The two will collaborate until 31 December 2012 and Luna Rossa, under which Bertelli has challenged, will open a base in Auckland.
The agreement "includes access to all ETNZ design and performance data for this period," said the Prada statement. "The hulls for the Italian 72-foot wing-powered catamaran will be built in Italy – at Persico -, but all other elements will be built in New Zealand."
Luna Rossa will then switch to San Francisco, venue for the 34th America's Cup, in March 2013. The board of the Milan-based but Hong Kong-quoted luxury fashion house recently approved a €40m. budget for the challenge.
Luna Rossa will also join the world series run by the America's Cup Event Authority and contested in 45-foot wing-powered catamarans. These regattas are not part of the America's Cup proper, nor its elimination Louis Vuitton Cup series.
Luna Rossa also currently competes in the Extreme Sailing Series for 40-foot catamarans. It goes into the final regatta in Singapore later this month leading the 2011 series, but has yet to confirm that it will continue to compete in 2012.
Grant Dalton, boss of ETNZ, said: "The co-operation with Luna Rossa is another step towards the long-term objective of establishing our team as a provider of technology and services that highlight New Zealand's marine industry expertise.
"New Zealand still has a love affair with Luna Rossa after being the challenger in 2000 and challenger of record in 2003 and this is the only team with whom we could have done a deal like this. It has never been done in the history of the Cup. It will only work if it is 100 per cent. transparent."
It remains to be seen how many of the other teams racing on the 45-foot circuit, Korea, China, two French teams, and another Sicilian team based in Spain, will join the Swedish challenger of record, Torbjorn Tornqvist's Artemis, in raising the funds to build the 72-foot catamarans in the America's Cup proper.
The third and final 45-foot regatta is scheduled for San Diego later this month but all attempts to stage a southern hemisphere regatta in January or February have so far failed and the organising America's Cup Event Authority, through America's Cup Race Management, has issued a notice saying that any dates and venue "if any" is to be confirmed.
The series moved to Naples in April Venice in may and finishes in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of June.
The 2012-13 series opens with two regattas in San Francisco, but venues for October and December are also "to be confirmed".
An enthusiastically supported Legends regatta, being staged ahead of the Volvo round the world race in Alicante, saw 16 boats and competitors from all of its 30-year history taking part. Also attending is the Mexican winner, Ramon Carlin, now 84, of the original Whitbread Race in 1973-74. The less than demanding conditions may have been welcomed by some less than fit veterans, but even they would have welcomed something to blow away the cobwebs of the night before.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Cananda Wins
by Paul on 06/05/07 at 07:08 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Christian Science Monitor,
No matter which hockey club embraces the Stanley Cup – and there could be trophy-hugs as early as Wednesday night – one particular breed of fan is more than likely to crack a broken-toothed smile: the Canadian one.
While the Senators of Ottawa could become the first Canadian team since the Canadiens of Montreal in 1993 to win the Cup, the Ducks of Anaheim have more Canadians on the roster – 18 – than any other National Hockey League team. And the Ducks have, with the help of the Sens, rejuvenated the so-called "North American" – really Canadian – style of play: heavy-hitting, intimidating, and opportunistic.

In a terrific column for Tax.com, Pulitzer-Prize winner David Cay Johnston breaks down new government data and puts USA Today's whole "lowest tax bills since 1950" revelation into dollars and cents we can all understand:
In 1979 federal taxes for the median-income household totaled $6,100, but in 2007 taxes slipped to $6,000. That $100 decline, measured in 2007 dollars, understates what a bargain taxes have become. Back in 1979 federal taxes equaled 18.7 percent of comprehensive household income. By 2007 incomes had grown 28 percent in real terms, so the tax burden not only dropped in absolute dollars, it also fell as a share of median comprehensive income to 14.4 percent. So over 28 years median income has risen in real terms by $9,100 while federal taxes have fallen by $100.
As Johnston points out, this is not something you hear very much about from journalists -- or as he puts it, "those who play journalists on television talk shows." And you certainly don't hear it from congressional Republicans or rank-and-file conservatives, who continue to bewail allegedly high taxes as our biggest problem, despite the real emergency of cash-strapped communities now slashing police forces, tear up roads and even outsource entire municipal workforces.
Indeed, what you hear from conservatives -- if anything -- on spending issues is that allegedly profligate domestic expenditures are supposedly running up all-too-big deficits. But again, that runs you straight back into the government data, as reported by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
Some commentators blame recent legislation -- the stimulus bill and the financial rescues -- for today's record deficits. Yet those costs pale next to other policies enacted since 2001 that have swollen the deficit. Those other policies may be less conspicuous now, because many were enacted years ago and they have long since been absorbed into CBO's and other organizations' budget projections. Just two policies dating from the Bush Administration -- tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- accounted for over $500 billion of the ($1.4 trillion) deficit in 2009 and will account for almost $7 trillion in deficits in 2009 through 2019.
That graph really says it all -- if you are genuinely concerned about deficits, then you should be concerned not about domestic spending, but about spending on the Bush tax cuts and wars (and this doesn't even mention the bloated defense budget that is, according to National Journal, on course to be the biggest in a single presidential term since World War II).
That's the real tax and spend story that conservatives don't want told.

Looking to get your Valentine's Day celebration kicked off early? Me neither. However, someone thought it was a good idea to release this romantically charged comedy in January. Of course, someone also thought it made smart business sense to release Halloween at Labor Day. The best I can guess is that there was a desire to have some sort of counter-programming to the disaster flick Cloverfield. In that regard it was a good ploy, as the screening I attended on opening night was filled. On top of that, the sweet-natured film was actually entertaining — nothing revolutionary, but fun nonetheless.
27 Dresses is pure romantic formula, with nothing to surprise anyone who has seen even just a couple of movies of this genre. It stars Katherine Heigl, an actress poised to take over the mantle of big screen cutie that has been held by the likes of Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, and Reese Witherspoon. Following her big screen breakthrough in Knocked Up, Heigl is back in this more widely accessible film that will do nothing but further endear her to a larger audience. Forget about Grey's Anatomy, this is the true test of her likability.
As soon as the movie starts, you know how it is going to end. The joy is in the ride, and the success of the film lies in the performances. A good cast can cover up plot deficiencies or a poor script. In the case of 27 Dresses, you can ignore the implausibilities as you float along for the ride.
That said, 27 Dresses is not a great movie. It floats along on a cloud of good will, but it does not have enough behind it to raise it above the mediocre. Yes, the formula is used to fine effect, but it is as if they took all of the clichés, arranged them on a board, and used them as a road map. Each cliché was the next road sign for the next stop on the route. I can almost picture director Callie Khouri and writer Aline Brosh McKenna working down the list, checking off each stop en route to the inevitable conclusion. Sometimes formula films work and can work the formula into something bigger, while others, like this one, are content with the formula itself.
The story follows Jane (Heigl), a woman who loves weddings. She loves them so much that she has a closet full of bridesmaid dresses, 27 to be exact (but I am guessing you knew that from the title). By day she is an assistant to an ad executive, George (Edward Burns), whom she is secretly in love with; by night she is endlessly arranging the weddings of her friends. The plot kicks into high gear when her flighty sister, Tess (The Heartbreak Kid's Malin Ackerman), has a chance meeting with George followed by a whirlwind romance. Guess who Tess wants to be her maid of honor? Jane has complications of her own when she has an encounter with the paper's commitments writer, Kevin (X-Men's James Marsden). There are clearly sparks between the two, but as the formula demands, they must not get along until much later on.
Do I need go on with a plot description? Most of you can probably fill in the pieces based on what you saw in the trailer.
Why does it work at all? Simple: the cast. They all know what they are doing and they all hit their marks.
Katherine Heigl does a fine job that gets better the further in she goes. Early on she seemed to struggle with her comic timing, but that may have been more of an issue with editing than performance. The camera loves her and she has a very good screen presence. (You know, if the TV thing doesn't work out, maybe she can make a career on the big screen?)
The supporting cast does a fine job too, particularly Judy Greer and James Marsden. Greer plays Casey, Jane's cynical friend and tag-along, with fantastic delivery and timing. Marsden is excellent as the cynical romantic interest. The actor has been on a roll, having appeared in both Hairspray and Enchanted.
Bottom line. An enjoyable formula film with a slick look; goes down easy. It is not destined for greatness, but few films are. If you are looking for an enjoyable little film this should fit the bill – just keep your expectations low.Powered by Sidelines
