Nine Thai couples have locked lips in the hope of setting a new record for the world's longest kiss, but the attempt proved too much for two septuagenarians who dropped out after just one hour.
The participants, who must kiss for more than 50 hours, 25 minutes and one second to enter the Guinness World Records, were forbidden from sitting down and could only go to the bathroom after the first six hours.
"They have to continue kissing while they go to the toilet and can only drink water or milk through straws," said an event spokeswoman.
"They couldn't do this unless they love each other. The smell of their breath would probably be quite something."
The current holders are a male couple who returned to try to beat their own record set last year.
"I'm 100 per cent confident that a couple will break the record," said Somporn Naksuetrong, the vice president of Ripley's Believe It or Not! in the resort city of Pattaya which hosted the event.
The oldest entrants to sign up in hope of winning the prize of 100,000 baht ($A3225) cash and two diamond rings were a 74-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
"They quit after about one hour. It was the first time we had old people joining," Somporn said.

WASHINGTON, July 16 (UPI) -- A diabetes drug under development may be linked to bladder and breast cancer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says.
During clinical trials, nine cases of each type of cancer were reported among patients taking dapagliflozin and only one of each among patients on the placebo, Medical News Today reported Friday.
An advisory panel is to meet Tuesday to consider the drug, which was developed jointly by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and AstraZeneca. The companies say they expect action from the FDA within the next few months.
In a report released Friday, the FDA said the drug appears to be effective at treating diabetes. In addition to the increased number of cancer cases, the FDA said dapagliflozin appeared to increase the risk of liver damage, urinary and genital infections and bone loss, and was less effective in patients with damaged kidneys.
Rosiglitazone, a diabetes drug marketed as Avandia by Glaxo Smith Kline, was linked to an increased risk of heart attacks in 2007 after it had been approved by the FDA. Avandia is still sold in the United States but increased controls are to take effect this fall.

Distance education brings hightech virtual classrooms
Educators say the intricate study of human anatomy has always been a cornerstone for the study of occupational therapy. But what if students are in one city and the cadavers needed for that study are in a laboratory many miles away?
According to a news release, professors at Western Michigan University have figured out how to bridge that gap and are putting that knowledge to good use. By using Internet-based, tele-health technology, they are bringing students high-quality, high-resolution video images from a cadaver lab in Kalamazoo to a human functional anatomy classroom in WMU's downtown Grand Rapids campus.
The anatomy class is being taught by Dr. Cindee Quake-Rapp, chair of the WMU Department of Occupational Therapy, who developed the technique with Dr. Jaclyn West-Frasier, director of WMU's Grand Rapids occupational therapy program. Assisting in the effort, which required extensive remodeling and outfitting of the classroom, was project lead and technical whiz Kirk Sundling, the compressed video interactive television manager for Extended University Programs, and Bob McDonough, building operations supervisor for the downtown Grand Rapids campus.
It is believed the setup is the first of its kind. Quake-Rapp and West-Frasier will present a paper on their new project at the American Occupational Therapy Association's 89th Annual Conference & Expo next April in Houston. To their knowledge, no one else has used this technology to link a human anatomy classroom with a cadaver lab.
The cadaver lab is housed in the south end of the WMU College of Health and Human Services building in Kalamazoo. The anatomy class is a prerequisite for WMU's professional master's program in occupational therapy, which is being extended to the Grand Rapids downtown campus beginning in fall 2009.
As Quake-Rapp teaches the class, her lab assistant, Danielle Clarke, is stationed in the cadaver lab and follows her instructions, giving students some 50 miles away high-quality video images of the human specimens.
"There's been a real resurgence of this kind of technology," West-Frasier says. "Distance education has been done for many years, but as the technology has improved, it's allowed us to do a lot more than before."
Quake-Rapp says distance education has evolved from correspondence courses to interactive, high-tech, virtual classrooms. The same technology that has revolutionized global commerce is now being implemented in the world of education. And the results have been very impressive.
"We're talking back and forth like we're in the same room," Quake-Rapp says. "And the images are amazing. The medical television cameras have become so sophisticated that students here can actually get a better view than the students in Kalamazoo. The camera can zoom in and provide images of a higher quality than can be seen with the human eye."
Understanding the structure and function of the human body has always been critical to the study of occupational therapy, and human dissection has been the primary method of teaching. Students greatly prefer that method over computer-assisted human anatomy instruction.
But cadaver labs are expensive to replicate. So the tele-health linkup with the Kalamazoo cadaver lab was a cost-effective way to bring that instruction to students in Grand Rapids. Sundling says advances in Internet capability and hardware improvements have made the tele-health link possible. Years ago, such links would provide low-quality, jerky images. Not anymore.
"Upgrades to the network and better equipment have eliminated those jitters," Sundling says, "and the improved technology allows WMU to provide this experience to students in the Grand Rapids community."

Yes, There Is a Tech-Themed A Cappella Group in New York
Sometimes it feels like your day is going too well, you know? Like the other shoe has to drop. Here's a shoe filled with bad nouns: it's from the Wall Street Journal, it's about investors, Manhattan, startup people, and... an "all-tech" a cappella group.
I'm going to copy and paste two things from the WSJ post so you don't have to read it:
Here's the first one:
Their Silicon Alley experience has taught them the value of adapting to their audience. The group changed some of the lyrics to the singer Lady Gaga's ballad "You and I" to reflect the oft-fraught relationship between entrepreneurs and investors.
Here's the second one:
Changing the lyrics of a love song to reflect the laments of an unfunded venture isn't the only bit of tech geek that seeps into the group's way of doing things. They have a Dropbox for all of their recordings, and song choices are decided through a complicated voting procedure that involves an Excel spreadsheet.
Excel! These wacky geeks. Here is the group, called NYC#, captured in a Vine. Remember this moment to recount to your children when you're sitting in a bomb shelter someday. Yes, son, the world above... the world above used to be beyond your imagination...

'Twilight,' 'Skyfall' remain top picks for fans
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The "Twilight" finale and "Skyfall continue to dominate the box office on a typically slow post-Thanksgiving weekend.
Sunday studio estimates put "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" ahead for the third-straight weekend with $17.4 million domestically.
That raises the vampire tale's domestic total to $254.6 million.
But the James Bond adventure "Skyfall" was a fraction behind with $17 million over its fourth weekend, lifting its domestic cash to $246 million.
The two movies were close enough that rankings could flip-flop when final numbers are released Monday.
Worldwide, the "Twilight" finale has taken in $702.4 million, just $10 million shy of the franchise's record.
"Skyfall" already is the top-grossing Bond flick ever, approaching $900 million worldwide.
Brad Pitt's crime story "Killing Them Softly" tanked with a $7 million debut.

Liberty News
Missions director Eddie Pate speaks at Monday convocation
The mission field isn't always where you expect it.
In 2004, Eddie Pate came to Lynchburg, Va., to serve as associate professor of missions at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary — and he planned on staying for the rest of his life.
Instead, a year later, he was on the road to the West Coast.
For Pate, who served in the mission fields of the Middle East and Northern Africa for more than a decade before coming here, the calling was clear. A California native, he felt he could best reach folks on the West Coast using his natural ties to the Golden State.
Now he's serving as director of the Kim School of Global Missions at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in California — but he hasn't forgotten Liberty University.
On Monday, Pate came back to LU to speak at a convocation service about going beyond personal and geographic boundaries to reach the lost. For some, pushing the boundaries might mean riding a camel for weeks into a remote area to teach those who have never heard about Christ, while others might need to venture a few blocks into a U.S. city.
"In some ways we have made missions an event and not a life," he said, explaining that there is a need for people who want to dedicate their lives to the task.
Liberty University consistently puts its students on the front lines of the Great Commission. This year 14 short-term mission trips abroad are available over the Christmas, spring and summer breaks. If you're interested in going on one of those trips or want to learn more, come to a meeting tonight (Aug. 25) at 7 p.m. at the Towns Lecture Hall in the School of Religion. Information is also available at Light Ministries' website.

first off im taking a java class in school and i was doing fine but its starting to get harder with inheritance and polymorphism < still dont know what that is
when do i know to use private or protected modifier, i always do private but now i learned of protected
the project i am doing is kind of big but ill start with my specific problem
"Write a new class called Upgrade which inherits from Standard with the following characteristics:"
Return Type
number – integer
stay – integer
constructs an object of class UpgradeRoom with
roomNumber = number;
roomRate = 170.0;
lengthOfStay = stay;
mimimumStay = 3
^ this is given to tell us how to make a method, he posted the answer as
my question is why does it not say roomRate = 170 its instead rate ...public UpgradeRoom(int number, int stay) { super(number, stay); rate = 170.0; minimumStay = 3; }
also explain the super(number, stay) please i am confused. I am under the impression that super means your using the same number and stay as the main class or something? dont know..
the class UpgradeRoom has only 1 new variable which is
"protected int minimumStay;"
i dont get why its protected!

Feb 1 (Reuters) - Phil Mickelson still held a commanding four-shot lead when the frost-delayed first round of the Phoenix Open was completed in Scottsdale, Arizona on Friday.
The American left-hander fired a sizzling 11-under-par 60 in ideal scoring conditions at the TPC Scottsdale on Thursday, lipping out with a birdie putt on his final hole in his bid for a magical 59.
Thirty-three players were still out on the course when play was suspended for the day and, of those, American Roberto Castro made the biggest move when the round finally ended on Friday morning.
Little-known Castro birdied two of his last four holes, the 15th and 17th, to card a 65, finishing five strokes off the pace along with 10 others.
Mickelson's closest challengers were fellow Americans Brandt Snedeker, Ryan Palmer, Jeff Maggert and Ted Potter Jr and Irishman Padraig Harrington, who all completed the opening round on Thursday.
Mickelson, a twice champion here, was scheduled to start his second round at 10.16 a.m. local (1716 GMT) and huge galleries were again expected to monitor his progress over the Scottsdale layout.
The 42-year-old is a fan favourite wherever he plays, but especially here given that he studied at the nearby Arizona State University.
"It was a fun day, and I'm excited to shoot 60," Mickelson said of his opening round which tied the course record he already held jointly with Grant Waite and Mark Calcavecchia.
"But to see that last putt lip out the way it did and not go in, it's crushing because you don't get that chance very often to shoot 59."
The last time Mickelson shot a 60 at Scottsdale, in 2005, he went on to win the title. (Reporting by Mark Lamport-Stokes in Los Angeles; Editing by Gene Cherry)

"Stoolpigeon" and "stool pigeon" seem to be interchangeable, though the former's definition is usually that of a police informant (synonymous with "stoolie") and the latter a dummy or decoy pigeon.
The Online Etymology Dictionary only has the origin of the stool pigeon (bird) one, so I was wondering if anyone could assist in finding the origin or first occurrence for stoolpigeon?
Doug Harper has now updated the Online Etymology Dictionary entry for stool pigeon with a nice and succinct answer as a result of Hugo's answer.

On the third Saturday of the month the farmers at Wild Willow Farm and Education Center in Imperial Beach fire up the pizza oven, clear off the long tables and benches, light up the twinkling Christmas lights in the barn, and harvest produce for that night's potluck. In addition to the proliferation of inspirational food (Lavender infused coconut cream pie? Dandelion and cashew pesto dip? Fava bean and garlic hummus?) and dance-provoking live music, a documentary well worth shushing the clattering of forks was shown during last Saturday's warm August night. The Real Dirt on Farmer John tells the epic story of Midwest farmer John Peterson. From his experimental commune days on the farm to the collapse of his family business and finally to the formation of a thriving CSA program we see how this extraordinary man has changed the face of farming through passion, self expression, and perseverance.

My Life
Évaluations de journalistes
It shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House.
President Clinton's audiobook is also the most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, encompassing not only the high points and crises but the way the presidency actually works.
It is the gripping account of a president under concerted and unrelenting assault orchestrated by his enemies on the Far Right and how he survived and prevailed.
It is a treasury of moments caught alive, among them:
Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contradictions, told openly, directly, in his own completely recognizable voice.
Ce que les critiques en disent
- Audie Awards Audiobook of the Year, 2005
- Grammy Award Winner, Best Spoken Word Album, 2004
"My Life is, by a generous measure, the richest American presidential autobiography, no other book tells us as vividly or fully what it is like to be president of the United States for eight years." (The New York Times Book Review)

My Life by Bill Clinton
A very good book. I enjoyed the honesty of the story of his failures and his flaws. The book outlines pretty well the nastiness and pettiness that is politics. Clearly Bill Clinton was born to be President and worked all his life towards that goal, even if early in he didn't know it. The outline of the family struggles and the imperfect childhood help explain the man and his story. A very good read.

Less than I expected
Clinton is smart, and although I wasn't expecting a "scholarly" work I was expecting something more substantive from a Rhodes Scholar.
Those who are easily impressed with vast quantities of facts will enjoy this book. But the sense I have from listening to the book (and Bill Clinton is an excellent reader, by the way) is that he simply "Googled" his life and has given us the descriptions that one finds for every link on Google.
I know that Clinton jogged a lot, I know how often he jogged, I know how many miles he jogged, I know the exact jogging routes he took. What I didn't learn from this book is why he jogs, what jogging does for him, how jogging makes him feel, what he thinks about when jogging. Nor did I understand how he could jog every day during the first primary season and gain 30 pounds. It's this style I found disappointing. Full of facts, bereft of substance.
"My Life" gave me the sense that Bill Clinton has come gained an intimate understanding of who he is and how others' lives have impacted him and how he has impacted others' lives. I wish he had shared that intimate aspect of his life.

I enjoyed his narration
His narration was good, and it was easy to listen to. It's good to learn about the scandles, and family affairs from their own perspective, and his battle with white house corruption and right wing scandles were disturbing but interesting to listen to. I wish I had gotten the unabridged because the abridged version is too short and I felt like I hadn't gotten the full picture of his life and work. I found Hillary's book to be more fulfilling in that respect (abridged).

Not a great book but worth the listen
I believe, like many other reviewers here, that Bill Clinton is capable of writing a more engaging and insightful book that this one. It is very fact- and time-based but rarely offers the deep personal reflection on events that one hopes for in an autobiography. That said, however, it was interesting to hear all the details about Clinton's career and family in his own words and I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about his life.
A large number of reviewers and people seem to have reduced Clinton's presidency to the Lewinsky affair and wish he would have spent more time on it. I, for one, was delighted that he discussed it in limited detail and tried to keep it a personal matter between him and his family. Don't look here for salacious details and hysterical rants about the affair. For that go to the Starr report or Lewinsky's own book.

Interesting listening, lots crammed in
I was interested in this book because of the many interesting speeches I'd heard Fmr. Pres. Clinton give. I'd found him to be a good speaker, he did his homework and it usually showed. What I found engaging was his sense of humor and candor. I'm new to audio books and I chose the abridged version for fear of boredom and found that while it was interesting to listen to, there was so much ground to cover that I think his witticisms and sense of humor were cut out in order to cover it all. So, if your interested in hearing some "behind the scenes" stuff, this book is great. But some of the humanity of Clinton is left out and it suffers for that.

A great life
I have to admit Bill Clinton's candid review of all his political decisions made during his presidency is very persuasive. I have been a typical guy who naively followed media's picture of him, but his review of political action by action, changed my view. If we have not seen anybody from Repulican side rebuke his book, I have to say Clinton was more right than his Repulican adversaries during his years as presidency.

Absorbing -- don't believe the haters' reviews
This is not only a great autobiography, but it is a enthralling political history of the US in the last 50 years of the 20th century. Clinton is brilliant, and his understanding of history shines through. (If only all politicians had his historical understanding!)
He shows his humanity in that he doesnt villify his political opponents, but only shows why they were wrong policy-wise (as opposed to them always arguing that he is "evil" and "ungodly").
Clinton doesnt spend much time settling scores, and instead spends a lot of attention on why his policies worked and why current Bush policies fail so miserably. And the stories of his childhood flesh him out so well.
Highly recommended for both those interested in policy, and those interested in this fascinating foibled man.

Lady Groan flung what remained of the grain across the room and the stone-chat hopping from the bed-rail to her head, took off again from that rabous landing ground with a flutter, circled twice around the room steering during his second circuit through the stalactites of shining wax, and landed on the floor beside the grain.
(M. Peake; Titus Groan)
What does it mean?
As you can see here, it appears that Mervyn Peake invented the word.
Here is another theory: On the other hand, I believe that rabous (as in a bird taking off 'from that rabous landing ground') is probably an accident, a mis-transcription (that went unnoticed) of Peake's manuscript by his typist.

American International Group Inc (AIG) said on Tuesday its board of directors will weigh up whether to take part in a shareholder lawsuit against the US government over its US$182 billion bailout of the insurer.
If AIG decides to join the complaint, which seeks US$25 billion in damages, it would pit the company against the US government, which rescued it in 2008 from collapsing under the weight of huge losses on mortgage-backed securities and other toxic assets AIG said that its directors would take up the matter yesterday and expects they will have reached a decision by the end of the month.
Starr International Co Inc, the investment firm of former AIG chief executive office Maurice Greenberg, filed the lawsuit in November 2011 on behalf of the firm and AIG shareholders.
The complaint, filed in the US Court of Federal Claims and the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, asserts that the government did not provide shareholders fair compensation when it took a nearly 80 percent stake in the insurer as part of its bailout.
As a result, the government violated the constitution, Starr claims.
AIG said that, by law, its board must consider three options: take over the lawsuit and pursue the claims on its own; attempt to prevent the claims from being pursued by Starr; or, allow Starr to continue to pursue the complaint on AIG's behalf.
The firm said that, should it elect not to let Starr pursue its claims on the company's behalf, Starr would likely challenge the move.
In such a scenario, should Starr prevail in the case, AIG would not receive any damages or portion of a potential settlement.
The US Court of Federal Claims denied a request by the government to dismiss the lawsuit, which means the case will go forward regardless of AIG's participation.
The government came to the rescue of AIG in September 2008, at the depths of the financial meltdown.
The New York-based company did business with hundreds of firms around the world, and officials feared its collapse would wreck the financial system.
AIG's bailout was the largest of the Wall Street rescue packages.
Since the financial meltdown, AIG has undergone a significant restructuring which has cut the size of the company nearly in half aimed at focusing on its core insurance operations.
In 2010, the company spun off Asian life insurer AIA Group in Hong Kong's biggest ever initial public offering to raise US$20 billion, which was used to pay bailout debt.
In November last year, AIG posted a third-quarter profit of nearly US$2 billion thanks to strength in its insurance operations and investment returns. In the same period a year earlier it lost US$4 billion.
The US Department of the Treasury announced last month that it had sold all of its remaining shares in AIG, ending up with US$22.7 billion more than it funneled to the company during the height of the financial crisis.
Shares in AIG ended regular trading down US$0.28 cents at US$35.65. However, over the last 12 months the stock is up more than 50 percent.

New restrictions in Kenya for travelers amid Ebola fears
NAIROBI — Kenya Airways will suspend flight operations to Liberia and Sierra Leone, the latest airline to curb flights because of the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The suspension is temporary, and the airline will continue operating flights to Nigeria and Ghana, Kenya Airways said.
The Kenyan government announced other restrictions, saying it is temporarily suspending entry into Kenya of passengers who have passed through Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.
Health professionals and Kenyan citizens returning home from those countries will be the exceptions, but will have to undergo extensive screening and close monitoring, said James Macharia, Cabinet secretary of the Kenya Ministry of Health.
The measures come as the World Health Organization warned this week that The magnitude of the Ebola crisis in West Africa is "vastly" underestimated.
Ebola has infected at least 2,127 people in Nigeria, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since the outbreak began this year.
Of the victims, 1,145 have died as of Wednesday, according to the WHO.
"The outbreak is expected to continue for some time," the WHO said in a statement this week. "Staff at the outbreak sites see evidence that the numbers of reported cases and deaths vastly underestimate the magnitude of the outbreak."
Though the United Nations agency did not provide an estimate of unreported cases, it said it's teaming up with the affected countries to gather more intelligence from the ground.
It's also working with other agencies, including the World Food Program, to feed about 1 million people quarantined in villages in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
As experts scramble to contain the outbreak, health officials are considering the use of experimental treatments and vaccines, since no there is no proven cure for the deadly virus.
Ebola spreads through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people. It causes viral hemorrhagic fever, which affects multiple organ systems.
Early symptoms include sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore throat. They later progress to vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and liver function, and sometimes internal and external bleeding.

Advanced High-Strength Steels--New Types on the Block
The next major breakthrough in steelmaking came in the mid-'90s when steel suppliers further refined thermalmechanical processing, built new equipment such as continuous-annealing lines, and began producing today's advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), with tensile strengths in the range of 440 to 980, with some steels now offering 1400-MPa tensile strength. Within the next few years, industry analysts predict that as much as half of the steels in automobiles will be AHSS.
As AHSS products have begun to make a strong presence in the market, the amount of information on them—their characteristics and properties, and tips for forming and fabricating them—also has increased. For example, the International Iron and Steel Institute now offers a publication titled Advanced High Strength Steel Application Guidelines, available on its website, http://www.worldautosteel.org/. The publication, updated in September 2006, is a must reference for any company working with AHSS. It describes the different types of AHSS—dual-phase (DP), transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), complex-phase (CP), martensitic (MS), ferrite-bainitic (FB), twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP), hot formed (HF) and post-formed heattreatable (PFHT).
Also a must for your library is the new Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice SAE J2745 document (see the sidebar to this article, page 32) issued in July 2007 that categorizes and provides the properties of AHSS automotive sheet steels. The recommended practice covers 13 cold-rolled AHSS types (six DP alloys, three TRIP steels and four MS steels) and seven more hot-rolled sheet steels.
We contacted several of the world's steelmakers (in cooperation with the International Iron and Steel Institute, www.worldautosteel.org) to find out what AHSS steels they have recently developed and made available to the market. What follows are brief descriptions; additional information can be found on each company's website.
New Swedish Steels Include Rollforming Alloys
Dual-phase steels such as the Dual-Ten family from U.S. Steel, illustrated here, exhibit superior initial strain-hardening behavior when compared to high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels.
As with other DP steels, Docol DP types offer good formability, and at more extreme levels of forming SSAB recommends forming in the direction transverse to the rolling direction rather than in the longitudinal direction. Also, when shearing or punching Docol DP, cutting clearance is of primary concern, says SSAB. It recommends a cutting clearance of 10 to 12 percent of sheet thickness for Docol DP steels.
SSAB also recently introduced AHSS types for rollformers: Docol Roll, a pair of cold-reduced high-strength steels that SSAB claims represent the world's first AHSS alloys developed specifically for rollforming. Their primary beneficial mechanical property: a high ratio of yield strength to tensile strength, which means that stresses in highly formed areas of a rollformed part are comparable to the stresses in less-formed regions. Small differences in residual stresses over the entire part cross-section reduce the tendency for bending and twisting, resulting in dimensionally stable and flat profiles.
Another bonus with these steels, according to SSAB, is their high level of internal cleanliness—a minimal amount of slag inclusions in the steel allow the rollforming of very tight radii. Docol Roll 800 (800-MPa minimum tensile strength and 600-MPa minimum yield strength) has a minimum bending radius (for press forming) of 0.9 times sheet thickness; Docol Roll 1000 (1000-MPa minimum tensile strength and 850-MPa minimum yield strength) has a minimum bending radius (for press forming) of 1.5 times sheet thickness. SSAB stresses that these minimum bending radii are valid for bending processes and that in well-designed rollforming lines fabricators might achieve much smaller radii.
The firm expects major breakthroughs in applications for Docol Roll in automotive body and safety components. www.ssab.com
U.S. Steel Talks Stamping, Hydroforming
U.S. Steel Corp., stressing that it develops new steels in partnership with its automotive-industry customers, has had its AHSS grades in production vehicles since 1999. It offers hot-rolled dual-phase steels under the brand name Dual-Ten, with products available as hot-dip galvanized (HDG Dual-Ten) and hot-dip galvannealed (HDGA Dual-Ten).
The Dual-Ten line, introduced in 2001 with the development of Dual-Ten 590 (590-MPa tensile strength), now comprises four alloys, with tensile strengths from 590 to 980 MPa, the latest to hit the market being Dual-Ten 980. Their high tensile-to-yield strength ratio (1.7 to 1.8 typically) enables the steels to undergo rapid strain hardening at lower strain levels, says U.S. Steel. This high strain-hardening behavior enhances strain distribution during stamping and, during hydroforming, limits buckling during end feeding. In comparison tests of Dual-Ten 600/590 and HSLA 340, the dual-phase steel exhibited nearly a 20-percent increase in draw-depth capability (using a T-channel test). www.uss.com
Nucor Increasing its Capacity to Supply Galvanized AHSS
Nucor entered the AHSS arena in 2006 with the introduction of DP 590—hot- and cold-rolled, galvanized and galvannealed products (the firm does not produce an uncoated cold-rolled dual-phase steel).
Nucor's Dual Phase 590 is produced at its CSP (compact strip production) facility in Berkeley, SC, in hot-rolled form from 2.5 to 6.5 mm thick, and cold-rolled hot-dip galvanized or galvannealed sheet from 0.8 to 2.0 mm thick. Compared to other DP590 grades available, Nucor officials claim that its process yields improved mechanical properties—elongation, formability, impact toughness and weldability to name a few. For example, its hot-rolled DP 590 offers an impact energy of 100 ft.-lb., reportedly more than twice that of other DP 590 steels the company has tested. Dual Phase 590 has a tensile strength of 620 MPa, yield strength of 380 MPa, total elongation of 25 percent and an n-value of 0.168.
Building on its success with Dual Phase 590, Nucor recently launched Dual Phase 780 (780 MPa minimum tensile strength), also available hot- or cold-rolled, galvanized or galvannealed. Although the company can only produce hot-rolled dual-phase steels down to 2.5 mm thick, it's pursuing continuous improvement at its mills so that it will soon be able to produce lighter-gauge hot-rolled products. And, later this year Nucor will commission a new galvanizing line at its facility in Decatur, AL, to increase production capacity for galvanized and galvannealed Dual Phase 590 and 780 in a variety of gauges and widths.
Lastly, in its effort to provide metalformers with dual-phase steels with optimum formability, specifically for stretch-flange applications, Nucor recently introduced NuPhase 800 steels. A multi-phase steel similar to Dual Phase 780, NuPhase 800 (offered in thicknesses of 0.8 to 2.0 mm) has a slightly different microstructure, says a Nucor official. It's recommended for applications where other AHSS of comparable strength would not provide adequate formability. Its mechanical properties: 800 to 980 MPa tensile strength; 680 to 850 MPa yield strength; 10 percent elongation.www.nucor.com
ArcelorMittal Creates New R & D Entity
This ArcelorMittal cold-rolling mill in Brazil reduces the thickness of flat steel products by rolling at room temperature.
New from ArcelorMittal Automotive is the press-hardened boron steel Usibor 1500 (maximum 0.25 C, 0.35 Si, 1.4 Mn, 0.30 Cr and 0.005o B. Similar to SSAB's Docol Boron 2/Domex 024 B and Boron 04/Domex 044 B, Usibor 1500 offers a tensile strength to 1500 MPA. The firm recommends Usibor 1500 as a replacement for many automotive components currently formed of dual-phase steels, including front- and rear-end rail extensions, A-, B- and hinge pillars and B-pillar reinforcements, and door and bumper beams. It's offered cold- or hot-rolled, and joins the firm's long list of AHSS steels, including multiphase alloys (ferrite plus bainite plus pearlite, with maximum 0.15 C) to 1200-MPa tensile strength, dual-phase steels, and TRIP steels to 980 MPa. In fact, just entering the testing phase late in 2007 was the firm's newest TRIP steel, TRIP-Dual 1200, an advanced ultra-high-strength bainitic steel.
Also, last spring ArcelorMittal, at a pair of European automotive conferences, reported results of its MARS (mass-saving approach to rear suspension) project, led by its automotive-applications research center in France, to study the impact of ultra-high-strength steels in multi-link rear-suspension systems. Replacing high-strength and very-high-strength steels with the firm's multiphase steels (MP800 and MP800 HY), as well as a dual-phase steel (DP 980 HY, 675 MPa yield strength, 1010 MPa tensile strength), sliced the weight of the axle by 21 percent, with a negligible cost increase. www.arcelormittal.com
Japanese-Made Alloy Offers Improved Stretch-Flange Formability
Japan's JFE Steel Corp. has offered dual-phase cold-rolled advanced-high-strength sheet steels in the 780 to 1470-MPa tensile-strength range for several years, offering good press formability, spot weldability and stable mechanical properties, to improve vehicle crashworthiness and fuel efficiency. In 2004 the firm introduced a type with 980-MPa tensile strength, in three variations, that reportedly offers improved elongation and stretch-flange formability, due to better control of microscopic-crack propagation during forming.
JFE manufactures AHSS steels using its continuous annealing process with water quenching (it refers to the process as CAL-WQ). The steels, particularly the 980 type, have found wide acceptance in seat-frame parts, to allow designers of seat structures to use the seat itself to support impact during collisions.
The JFE line of AHSS steels features five products, with tensile strengths of 780, 980, 1180, 1370 and 1470 MPa, with yield strengths from 430 to 1200 MPa and a carbon equivalent from 0.09 to 0.23. The three new 980 types:
Low yield ratio—a high-ductility DP steel for stretch-formed parts that features a low yield point, high elongation and low hole-expanding ratio, recommended for body-in-white structural components such as pillars.
High hole-expanding ratio (HER)—this DP steel combines elongation and stretch-flange formability and has a medium yield point, medium elongation and medium HER, recommended for bumper reinforcements, seat frames and seat rails.
Extra-high HER—this steel has a high yield point, low elongation and high HER, offering stretch-flange formability equal to that of the 590-MPa-tensile-strength material. JFE says that the steel allows designers to reduce the weight of seat frames while also reducing part-manufacturing costs by eliminating the welding of multiple parts. www.jfe-steel.co.jp/en
Germans Develop Air-Hardening Steels
Salzgitter, Germany, is home to Salzgitter Flachstahl, the largest steel subsidiary in the Salzgitter Group. In 2006, the plant's 4500 employees produced some 4.6 million tons of steel. The mill works closely with the firm's technical customer-support partner, Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung, to develop target-oriented solutions for product and process optimization in cooperation with users and customers. This close cooperation, according to company officials, yields customer-oriented and application-related product development.
An example of this comes with Salzgitter's recent release of two new air-hardening cold-strip steels—LH800 and LH900. While dual-phase steels have their final mechanical properties already in the as-delivered state, with little change from processing, air-hardening steels are delivered to the metalformer in a soft state with excellent formability, according to Salzgitter.
This tunnel is stamped from Salzgitter's HCT600XD+Z alloy, a continuously hot-dipped dual-phase steel.
Material datasheets released on LH800 and LH900 in November 2006 describe the steels as having outstanding forming capabilities, and finished components having high strength and crash properties. Tensile strength of the steels is at least 800 or 900 MPa (116 to 130 ksi).
Air-hardening steels fall under the product category of post-forming heattreatable (PFHT) steels. Metalformers deep-draw or otherwise form the steels, then the parts are heattreated and hardened or tempered by natural cooling. Hydroformers—the alloys are readily available as tubes and are very formable —need not employ intermediate annealing when forming LH800 and LH900. Salzgitter recommends its new PFHT steels for A- and B-pillars, frame components
In addition to its new PFHT steels, Salzgitter recently introduced press-hardening (PH) steel 22MnB5, a boron-alloyed tempered steel that can achieve tensile strengths to 1300 to 1800 MPa (190 to 260 ksi) after hot forming with controlled in-die quenching (press hardening). These steels also get notoriety for their high yield strength, based on manganese (1.2 to 1.4 weight percent) and boron (0.0020 to 0.0035 weight percent) content. Also recommended for A- and B-pillars, frame components and cross members, 22MnB5 also would prove ideal for penetration protection—sills, bumpers and bumper mounts, and roof frames.
Boron-alloyed tempered steels such as 22MnB5 can be formed in one or two steps, depending on the complexity of the component. As-delivered, stampers can cold-form the sheet, offered by Salzgitter in thicknesses from 1 to 3 mm and in widths from 900 to 1500 mm, and then harden in a separate process. Or, as an added step, stampers can hot-form the previously cold-formed parts, with subsequent press hardening in the die. This requires water cooling in the press, and a coating on the steel sheet to avoid oxidation and scaling of the sheet.
As an application example of the ability of its new steels to be formed, Salzgitter cites testing performed
Seminar: Higher-Strength Steel

Learn all about the properties of AHSS and the techniques used to form and fabricate them at this PMA-sponsored seminar May 22 in Cleveland, OH. Seminar topics include stretchability and bendability, springback, punch and blankholder loads, tool temperature and wear, press loads and energy requirements, blanking damage and case studies. For more information, please contact Michelle Underwood: https://firstname.lastname@example.com, 216/901-8800 ext. 163.
Coming down the pike from Salzgitter: high-strength and -ductility (HSD) steels under development for the last few years through a partnership with Corus. HSD steels contain high levels of manganese, and offer strength levels of 600-1400 MPa with elongations of 70 to 20 percent, respectively. To produce these steels, Salzgitter is erecting a new production line that will include electric-arc-furnace steelmaking and strip casting using its BeST (belt-strip casting) technology. www.salzgitter-ag.de/en MF

Goed Genoeg (dutch for: Good Enough)
Goed Genoeg is a startup in the Netherlands. The initiators have worked as freelancers for years. They liked to be self-employed. But as financial specialists they wondered why there are no affordable disability insurance in the Netherlands.
Many freelancers complain about it: a common disability insurance is very expensive (hundreds of euros every month). This is the reason why more than 50% of the Dutch freelancers (self employed professionals) are not insured at the moment.
Goed Genoeg (dutch for: Good Enough) wants to change this. We develop a new kind of insurance. Very simple. Without all kinds of difficult rules and regulations. We provide a simple but fair benefit. It is good enough. And thats the reason why its affordable for every freelancer.
Our target audience are freelancers, independent professionals. These people are specialists who love their work: they do the work they want to do. Not the work they have to do They are inspired, hard working and they depend on their online and offline social network.
They do not like financial products. But they know that some kind of insurances (like the disability insurance) is important.
We ask you to design the company logo for Goed Genoeg. Some important information:
- we do not want to be or look like regular insurance companies
- we are a small organization. To be successful, we believe in working together with various specialized websites for freelancers. Therefore it is important that our logo is able to combine with different visual designs.
- We prefer a 3D or animated logo.
Web file format - .png and layered .psd (RGB). When animated: swf and fla.
Needless to say, but please: do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

Illinois Chaplain Finds $1M Powerball Ticket in Desk
(NEW YORK) -- A retired chaplain in Illinois found a $1 million winning lottery ticket when he was cleaning his desk, two months after the winning numbers were announced.
Ron Yurcus of Glen Ellyn, Ill., said he doesn't usually buy lottery tickets.
"Occasionally while I buy gas, if the [lottery] prize is higher, I'll buy one or two tickets," Yurcus, 68, said.
Yurcus, a retired hospice chaplain, said he had accumulated about 12 tickets within two months, but didn't check to see if any were winners until a few weeks ago.
"I bought them and never really rush home and check numbers right away. I throw them in a pile," he said.
When he was cleaning his desk, which he called "a cluttered mess," he sifted through his pile of tickets and was pleasantly surprised to learn he not only had a couple tickets that won $2 but a $1 million Powerball prize from the Aug. 22 drawing.
"When I went to the payoff page and saw $1 million, I wanted to scream but no one was home," he said, adding that he checked the number about 25 times that night and asked his wife, a school secretary, to re-check the numbers once she returned home.
Yurcus used to be self-employed with a print shop in addition to serving at the hospice, before retiring on Nov. 2.
"I don't really have a retirement package put together. This is my retirement," he said.
He and his wife are also active with charitable causes. He said he will use some winnings to support his three children and four grandchildren.

The Mercedes-Benz Citan commercial van, the first product to result from the Renault-Nissan-Daimler partnership, debuted at this week's RAI commercial vehicles show in Amsterdam.
Automobile Magazine reported that the Mercedes' new commercial van joins the automaker's existing van family alongside the Sprinter and Vito. At this point, the platform will not be sold in the U.S.
The Citan, which combines the words "city" and "titan," will continue the momentum Mercedes has in the commercial van market. Mercedes-Benz Van boss Volker Mornhinweg reports 2011 was the most successful year in the division's history, and is convinced the Citan will gain a 4% to 5% market share of the emerging segment.
"We aim to sell more than 400,000 units worldwide by 2015," Mornhinweg said in a release. In Europe, the market has quickly grown to 700,000 units.
The Citan is available in three lengths (155, 170, and 185 inches) the van will be offered as a panel van, multi-purpose van and passenger-hauling crew bus. The multi-purpose vehicle, the Citan Mixto, is based on the 185-inch version, and offers a foldable rear bench seat and two sliding doors. The third, the 170-inch Citan crewbus, is available as a five-seater with a foldable rear bench seat and sliding door (sliding doors on both sides is optional).

Egyptian Minister of Justice Ahmed Mekki offered his resignation on Sunday, judicial sources inside the Ministry of Justice informed Ahram Online. The news comes one day after President Mohamed Morsi had stated there would be a government reshuffle
Thousands of Islamist demonstrators protested at the High Court on Friday in rallies called for by the Muslim Brotherhood to demand the "purging of the judiciary." The demonstrations ended violently when anti-Brotherhood protesters attacked the demonstration. Opponents of the Islamist group warned that the demands aimed at the "Brotherhoodisation" of the judiciary.
According to judicial sources, in his resignation statement, Mekki complained about demonstrations calling for the "purging of the judiciary" called for by the Muslim Brotherhood. He also condemned attempts to amend the judicial authority law to decrease the retirement age of judges without taking their view on the issue.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, together with coalitions within the Shura Council, had proposed the judicial authority law be amended accordingly. The law, if amended to lower the retirement age, will mean the forced retirement of more than 3,000 judges.
Mekki has recently repeatedly criticised demands, repeated mainly by the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies, that the retirement age of judges be decreased.
Mekki on Saturday filed a complaint with the prosecutor-general against Wasat Party and National Conscience Front member Essam Sultan for statements he made accusing members of the judiciary of corruption, reported the Middle East News Agency (MENA).
Mekki has also on more than one occasion disagreed publicly with decisions made by President Mohamed Morsi regarding the judiciary, including the dismissal of former Prosecutor-General Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud and his replacement with Talaat Abdullah.

It's your party, and you can cry if you want to. But you'd serve the environment better with a less emotional approach to your soirée. Going green with your next social event will benefit the earth and make you feel good at the same time.
Follow these planet-friendly party tips for a greener get-together.
Stick with e-vites.
Skip the pretty paper cards and save a tree. You can find creative e-vites all over the internet. Also, electronic invitations often give your guests the opportunity to RSVP quickly and easily.
Use the stuff you've got.
You know those cool serving pieces and place settings you got for your wedding but have never used? Don't wait—use them now. You'll have a little extra cleanup at the end of the night, but you won't be sending even more plastic to the landfills.
Personalize cups.
If you use disposable glassware, buy the kind made from recycled or sustainable materials (look for packaging labeled "biodegradable" or "100% recycled content"). And break out the Sharpies so everyone can personalize their cups—you'll save money and cut down on the number of cups going into the trash.
Light it up.
Cut down on electricity and create a romantic (and flattering) glow by placing lit candles everywhere. Use soy or beeswax candles which, unlike petroleum-based paraffin candles, won't emit toxic, sooty fumes. Citronella candles will help keep the mosquitos away.
This is a no-brainer, but if you don't do it already, it's a big (green) step to take. Check everything you're about to throw away to see if you can use it again. If you can't use it, put glass, paper and plastic products in the recycle bin.
Got a wild hair to throw a party tonight? Here's a great way to chill beverages in time for an impromptu backyard barbecue. Place wine or other bottles in a bucket. Add a layer of ice, followed by a layer of salt (coarse or table). Repeat until you almost reach the top. Fill the bucket with cold water to just below the ice line. The water in the ice bucket will be colder than normal, chilling your beverages in less than 10 minutes.
Can't-miss Tip of the Day: If you're planning a party for the Fourth of July, be sure to take advantage of our special coupons for your holiday celebration! These offers will make your party "greener" by saving you more of your hard-earned cash. Find them here.

Pharmacies are not immune to the state's backlog in vendor payments, but the formation of a new Medicare plan has helped smaller shops keep their doors open.
Inside: About this series, by the numbers
Click on the graphic to go to
the series' Facebook page.
Pharmacies are not immune to the state's backlog in vendor payments, but the formation of a new Medicare plan has helped smaller shops keep their doors open.
With the creation of Medicare Part D, pharmacists filling some public aid prescriptions now get paid through an insurance company, which is easier to work with and more prompt with payments, some pharmacists said.
Of the $6.5 billion in backlogged payments to various agencies and private business, Illinois owes the medical industry more than $2 billion. Pharmacists are owed $377 million from the state for filling Medicare and other public aid prescriptions.
The delayed payments have hurt pharmacies, especially the mom-and-pops, some of which have a substantial amount of their business tied to public health care plans.
Quite a few of the stores have qualified for expedited pay and are reimbursed faster than other vendors waiting on the state. But that designation has not cured the pharmacies' problems.
Walgreens can withstand a deferred payment for longer than an independent shop because its business isn't wholly dependent on prescriptions, said Garth Reynolds, executive director of the Illinois Pharmacists Association.
"It especially hurts the locally owned stores who can't spread the debt to other departments or even other locations," he said.
George Burgland, owner of Burgland Drug Store in Galesburg, said his outstanding bills with the state once totaled $150,000. His business saw some relief after 2006, when Medicare Part D went into effect.
Part D subsidizes drug prescriptions for Medicare enrollees, but the payment for those prescriptions now comes through a private insurance company. Burgland said three-fourths of Medicare patients he sees are enrolled in Part D.
"That simplified my life quite a bit," he said. "It took the state out of being the primary and onto someone who has to pay more promptly."
Burgland said the most he is out now is $25,000.
What about the irony that insurance agencies are easier to work with than the state?
"Illinois is Illinois," Burgland said. "If that's the way it is, you just have to deal with it."
Because his business is about 95 percent prescription based, Burgland qualified for expedited reimbursement from the state. About 600 pharmacies in the state qualify for more speedy payments, which stipulates that the business must be paid within 25 days, Reynolds said.
"Twenty-five days helps a lot, but it's still a long time to wait," Reynolds said.
Burgland did about $250,000 worth of business with the state in 2012, according to the comptroller's office. He said he has considered lessening the amount of his business dealing in public aid, but eventually decided otherwise.
"It could be a lot worse," he said. "Part of what I do could be considered a public service, but it would be nice to be paid faster. I'm not complaining too often."
One pharmacy owner in Peoria did scale back his public aid business.
Mike Minsinger of Alwan Pharmacy said about one-forth of his business is with public aid prescriptions, which is less than it was in the past after his business suffered because of the backlog in payments.
"They just don't have the money," Minsinger said of the state. "We diversified our business a couple years ago. Public aid patients account for less of our business than even two years ago."
Minsinger said he has had to wait up to 120 days for a payment. Despite that, he said his business has stayed steady, and he even opened a second store in Morton last summer.
To keep his business afloat in lean times, Minsinger kept a cash reserve, but even that wasn't enough at times.
"That reserve was getting a little bit low," he said. "We went out and got a line of credit, but we didn't use it. It was out of extreme caution."
Local legislators have said paying down some of the backlogged bills is a priority in the current legislative session, but finding a solution to the state's unfunded pension system has taken priority.
Januari Smith, communications manager for the Department of Health Care and Family Services, said solving that problem will help ease the unpaid bills problem.
"A backlog of payments to providers is not unusual or uncommon," she said. "It won't get fixed until the pensions get reformed."

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech misfired on its first seven 3-point attempts Saturday night, but once they found the range the Golden Eagles were deadly, making eight of their next nine attempts and finishing the game going 13-for-24.
By scorching the nets from long range, coach Jim Davis'
team was able to claim a 73-51 victory over Austin Peay in Eblen
Center, allowing the Golden Eagles to gain some ground in the East
Division of the Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball
Tech improved to 11-9 overall and 5-2 within the league, pulling to within one game of leader Belmont and tied for second with Eastern Kentucky. Austin Peay, playing in the West Division, fell to 5-14 overall and 0-7 in the OVC.
Seniors Kellie Cook and Jala Harris were the snipers who lit the fuse Saturday. Cook was 5-for-6 in the first half and finished the game 7-for-9 for a game-high 23 points. She also tied for the team lead with six rebounds as the Golden Eagles owned a 36-24 advantage on the boards.
Harris, meanwhile, was 5-for-6 from long range and contributed 17 points and eight assists. Diamond Henderson also reached double figures in scoring, adding 12 points.
Meghan Bussabarger topped APSU with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Leslie Martinez had a solid all-around game, finishing with 13 points, six rebounds and five assists.
A bomb from the corner by Cook made it a 10-5 Tech lead early, and the Golden Eagles took their margin up to 13 points, 21-8, as Cook hit three more. Cook was 5-for-6 from the distance in the first half and went to the break with 15 points.
But Austin Peay fought back with a couple of 3-pointers, one by Nicole Olszewski and one from Martinez, and the Lady Govs were back within five points, 21-16, with 6:02 to play in the half.
APSU got within four, 26-22, with 2:23 left on a layup by Jenifer Nwokocha, and again with 36 second left when a layup by Martinez made it 30-26. Henderson's 3-pointer from the corner with three seconds to play too it to halftime with a seven-point difference.
Martinez scored the first two baskets of the second half, and following two free throws from Nwochoka, the Lady Govs were within one point, 33-32, with 15:42 to play. APSU got within one two more times, and each time the Golden Eagles had an answer, twice from Molly Heady and once from T'Keyah Williams.
Cook knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers and Harris added another, and the lead suddenly was back to a dozen, 48-36, with 10:11 remaining.
Tech slowly added to its lead over the next six minutes, eventually making it a 20-point lead with 2:06 to play. The final 22-point edge was the largest lead of the game.
Tech finished the game hitting 53.2 percent from the floor (25-for-47) and 54.2 percent from outside the arc. Austin Peay was 19-for-55 for 34.5 percent overall, and went 3-for-21 from long range for 14.3 percent. Both teams were 10-for-12 at the free throw line.
Tech hosts Murray State Monday night in Eblen Center, with tipoff at 7 p.m. For tickets, visit or call the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center at (931) 372-3940.

This article provides helpful information and links for basic wireless network troubleshooting. More specifically, this article focus' on 802.11a/b/g/n networks. This article does not cover Mobile Broadband (cellular based wireless) or Bluetooth (also known as WPAN)
The primary pieces of information needed for Wireless network troubleshooting are listed below.
SSID: The Service Set Identifier. This is the name of the network you're interested in joining. Wireless networks can be configured to broadcast this SSID, or to hide the SSID. If the SSID is broadcast, it will be listed in the "Wireless networks available". If the SSID is NOT broadcast, you'll need to know exactly how it is spelled and capitalized in order to join the network.
Security Type: This is the type of encryption used on the network to keep data secure. Windows may figure this out for you, but it's important to know what type of security is being used. This also controls what type of security key and passphrase you can use. The common options for security are listed below in order of their security level. No security is the least secure and WPA2 is the most secure.
No security (also known as open)
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64 bit
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 128 bit
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) options include AES and TKIP
Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) also including AES and TKIP
Security Key or Passphrase: This is the actual key used to encrypt the data. Without this key or phrase being correct, it is not possible to understand the data flowing across the network. This is basically like the secret knock or "open sesame" secret phrase.
Distance from the Access Point or router: The range of acceptable signal strength varies significantly between Wi-Fi types but a good rule of thumb is 120 feet indoors, and 300 feet outdoors.
Line of Site: Anything between the access point and the device will reduce signal strength and range. Some materials have more impact than others. Dense wood (such as oak) and metal have the most impact. Sheetrock and cloth have a very minimal impact. Utility closets, wood cabinets, metal piping and restrooms between the access point and the device will dramatically reduce signal strength.
Channel Signal Overlap: A Wi-Fi signal occupies five channels in the 2.4 GHz band; any two channels whose channel numbers differ by five or more, such as 2 and 7, do not overlap. The oft-repeated adage that channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels is, therefore, not accurate; channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only group of three non-overlapping channels in the U.S. Other Wi-Fi networks in the area on overlapping networks may be interfering.
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n are the accepted industry standards. The features and strengths versus weakness' of these standards are shown here.

Team New York had the touch from outside and won the Shooting Stars event to open the NBA's All-Star Saturday night festivities.
Former Knicks star Allan Houston nailed his third attempt at a half-court shot to give his team consisting of current Knicks guard Landry Fields and Cappie Pondexter of the WNBA's New York Liberty the victory.
The winner completed the shooting course in 37.3 seconds in the final round. It was better than the 47.6 posted by the Team Texas trio of former Houston Rockets star and TNT analyst Kenny Smith, current Rocket Chandler Parsons and Sophia Young of the San Antonio Silver Stars.
Team Orlando and Atlanta posted the slowest times of Round 1 and were eliminated.

Fifa partner's CEO Ray Whelan arrested over ticket scam
Brazilian police have arrested the chief executive of a Fifa partner company as part of investigations into the illegal sale of World Cup tickets.
Ray Whelan from Match Hospitality was held at the Rio de Janeiro hotel where officials from the world's football governing body were also staying.
He was freed after questioning. Match Hospitality said in a statement that it expected Mr Whelan to be "exonerated".
Last week, police held 11 people over illegal ticket sales.
They are accused of illegally reselling tickets, including some originally allocated to players.
Police say an international gang earned as much as $90m (£52m) per tournament and could have operated at four World Cups.
Computers seized
Mr Whelan, a British national, was arrested at the Copacabana Palace Hotel on Monday.
He was taken for questioning as part of the ongoing police investigation Operation Jules Rimet, and released on Tuesday.
The Switzerland-based Match Hospitality - part of UK sports event manager Byrom based in Cheadle, near Manchester - said on Tuesday that it was assisting the police investigation.
In a statement, the company said it had "complete faith that the facts would establish" that Mr Whelan had not violated any laws.
A statement from Fifa said that it "continues to fully collaborate with the local authorities and will provide any details requested to assist with this ongoing investigation".
"Fifa wants to reiterate as mentioned at various occasions its firm stance against any form of violation of the criminal law and the ticketing regulations, and is fully supporting the security authorities in our joint efforts to clamp down on any unauthorised ticket sales."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New orders for factory goods recorded their biggest drop in seven months in March, but a gauge of planned business spending rose slightly, suggesting businesses are continuing to spend despite a slowdown in factory activity.
The Commerce Department on Friday said orders for manufactured goods dropped 4 percent. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast orders falling 2.6 percent after a revised 1.9 percent increase in February.
Factory orders were dented by the aircraft industry, which is prone to sharp swings. Civilian aircraft orders plunged 48.3 percent. U.S. manufacturer Boeing had previously reported orders in March for 39 aircraft, down from 179 a month earlier.
Orders excluding the volatile transportation category decreased 2 percent, pointing to underlying weakness in the manufacturing sector that carried the economy out of the 2007-09 recession.
Orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft - a closely watched proxy for business spending plans - rose 0.9 percent instead of the previously reported 0.2 percent increase. While often looked at as a core reading for orders, this measure has also been quite volatile in recent months. In February, it fell 3.2 percent.
The Commerce Department also said orders for durable goods, manufactured products expected to last three years or more, slumped 5.8 percent instead of the 5.7 percent fall reported last week, the biggest drop in seven months.
