Tch, tch, tch; such a lack of respect for a fine and upstanding colleague, and a pillar of the electronics industry. The man gets kicked around, slandered, told he is wrong at every turn when he is actually correct, and everyone attempts to use him as a pincushion. Yet he goes on steadfast and firm in his belief that he is correct, never frustrated nor distracted. Certainly all of this negative publicity does make manifest the man's good qualities.

OK, I'm going to play the Doug card: I protest that others were honored that year for work in transuranic elements and the controversy caused the name of the element held in limbo till 74. Curium is one of those elements and 1951 was the first, if not only year it was made into a metal. Being a metallurgist (other than pushing Metallica and Iron Maiden music), I thought that would be key to you. Another plus to upholding my challenge, besides recognizing the clever humor, is the chance to stick another pin in the little Doug doll.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
Only one clue - the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. What is the element?
The Answer:
The element is Seaborgium (Sg). Seaborgium was named in honor of nuclear chemist Glen T. Seaborg. There are 16 known isotopes of Sg with half lives ranging from 2.9 milliseconds to 22 seconds. All of the isotopes are artificially produced.
The winner of the weekly element quiz is Denny Fritz and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios after they spend their US July 4th holiday in Cedar Rapids. The Friday Element Quiz Arbitration Board (FEQAB) has tabled Doug's response of McMillianium since he is technically correct that Edwin McMillian did also receive the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. FEQAB has requested clarification from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) located in Oxford England since it is IUPAC that officially approves the naming of the elements. The IUPAC assured the FEQAB that they would give the request serious consideration but considering it took 12 years to resolve the elemental names for 104-107, Doug may be waiting awhile.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:

Week 14 Brian Ellis
Week 15 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- Tell the boys to be prepared for helping do FOD walks at one of my suppliers. I bet when the employees at this supplier see these 2 guys on the FOD walk it will get their attention and help raise awareness of the importance of preventing FOD.
Week 16 Steve Gregory
-I need them to help me start-up a new (used) Vitronics/Soltec wave machine we recently got here. It's gonna' be fun (if that's what you want to call it), we have to fill the Vitronics with a tin wash so we can get the wave formers and nozzles out, clean everything up, and then empty the pot. Then we've got to empty the pot in the old Electrovert machine that we have and have that solder ready for the Vitronics. Then we'll play musical wave machines by moving the Electrovert and placing the Vitronics where it was sitting, then we'll fill the Vitronics again.
Week 17 Phil Kinner, PVA
- assisted with ????
Week 18 Ian Braddock, MBDA Systems
- assisted with ????
Week 19 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- Now I have two guys to assist with four screen printer moves this week.
They're gonna love helping me perform our quality verifications, and they get to try their hand with cross section work again.
Week 20 Denny Fritz
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week!
