Thank my lucky stars - just happened to be on line when you posted the question. 

My first thought for Clumpy and Kloumpios was to ask if they knew how to drain swamps.  It has rained here in Indiana almost every day for 10 days, and is forcast to thunderstorm for almost ten more.  Any chance Kloumpios has any biblical roots and is related to Noah of Ark fame??  At the very least, please have Graham Naisbitt ship some wellies (Wellington boots) here to Indiana for the coming week.  

Only slightly more seriously, what do Clumpy and Kloumpios know about counterfeit components?  Any day, I expect to be thrown into that messy topic to support the Department of Defense.  And, what clearance do the guys have - confidential, secret, top secret, or keep-from-telling-Doug?.   

Can either run an XRF or SEM?  I presume they have eagle eyes, so they can observe components through our optical microscopes.  Finally, is either carrying a small spare lead-acid battery?  Our UPS unit protecting the instruments from the too frequent lightning surges crapped out last week.  

Let me know if they will be arriving at Gary, Indiana International airport, or coming in by float plane to one of the flooded corn or soyben fields.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer


Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
nly one clue - the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. What is the element?
The Answer:
he element is Seaborgium (Sg). Seaborgium was named in honor of nuclear 
hemist Glen T. Seaborg. There are 16 known isotopes of Sg with half lives 
anging from 2.9 milliseconds to 22 seconds. All of the isotopes are 
rtificially produced.

he winner of the weekly element quiz is Denny Fritz and he will get the 
ervices of Clumpy and 
loumpios after they spend their US July 4th holiday in Cedar Rapids.  The 
riday Element Quiz Arbitration Board (FEQAB) has tabled Doug's response 
f McMillianium since he is technically correct that Edwin McMillian did 
lso receive the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. FEQAB has requested 
larification from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry 
IUPAC) located in Oxford England since it is IUPAC that officially 
pproves the naming of the elements. The IUPAC assured the FEQAB that they 
ould give the request serious consideration but considering it took 12 
ears to resolve the elemental names for 104-107, Doug may be waiting 
while.

o far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 15 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
 Tell the boys to be prepared for helping do FOD walks at one of my 
uppliers. I bet when the employees at this supplier see these 2 guys on 
he FOD walk it will get their attention and help raise awareness of the 
mportance of preventing FOD.
Week 16 Steve Gregory
I need them to help me start-up a new (used) Vitronics/Soltec wave 
achine we recently got here. It's gonna' be fun (if that's what you want 
o call it), we have to fill the Vitronics with a tin wash so we can get 
he wave formers and nozzles out, clean everything up, and then empty the 
ot. Then we've got to empty the pot in the old Electrovert machine that 
e have and have that solder ready for the Vitronics. Then we'll play 
usical wave machines by moving the Electrovert and placing the Vitronics 
here it was sitting, then we'll fill the Vitronics again.
