J&J's First Trial Over Seizure Drug Topamax Goes to Jury
Sophia PearsonA Philadelphia jury began deliberations in the first lawsuit to come to trial over claims the seizure drug Topamax, sold by Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutical unit, caused birth defects.
Lawyers for April Czimmer argued that the Virginia resident wouldn't have taken the drug for six months had the company warned pregnant users it might cause defects including cleft lip and cleft palate. Czimmer said her son Blake, born in September 2007, had conditions requiring four surgeries.
"We did not come down here for sympathy," Tommy Fibich, an attorney for Czimmer, told the 12-member jury in closing arguments today. "We came here for justice."
The case is the first of about 134 lawsuits pending in state court in Philadelphia over the drug, plaintiffs' lawyers said. Another trial began yesterday with opening statements on injuries suffered by a 5-year-old boy from South Carolina.
Topamax, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1996, was one of New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J's top sellers before it lost patent protection in 2009. Czimmer took the drug from August 2006 through February 2007 to treat migraines.
Janssen adequately warned her prescribing physicians of the risks that it made public in reports and medical literature in 2002, 2003 and 2005, John Winter, an attorney for the company, said in closing arguments.
Data Available
"It's not that the data was hidden," Winter said. "The data was there for anyone to look at it and make their own judgments."
A verdict requires agreement by at least 10 jurors on whether Janssen negligently failed to warn health-care providers of the risks, Judge Victor J. DiNubile told the state court panel. That minimum must also agree on whether Janssen's negligence was a substantial factor in bringing about the boy's injuries.
The birth defects, known as oral clefts, range from a small notch in the lip to a groove that runs into the roof of the mouth and nose.
Blake Czimmer faces at least four more surgeries and future medical bills totaling more than $560,000, Fibich said. The attorney urged jurors to award a higher amount, for the pain and suffering caused by the condition. Janssen "deserves to feel a financial wound," Fibich said.
Judge Arnold New, who is overseeing the lawsuits in Philadelphia, granted Janssen's request before the trial to bar punitive damages in the case. DiNubile instructed jurors that any damages awarded should be "fair and reasonable" and should not be intended to punish the drug company.
The case is Czimmer v. Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc., 110503459, Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. The master case is In Re Topamax Litigation, 110602131, Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

Amos 7:10-15
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
11 "For thus Amos has said:
'Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
And Israel shall surely be led away captive
From their own land.'"
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos:
"Go, you seer!
Flee to the land of Judah.
There eat bread,
And there prophesy.
13 "But never again prophesy at Bethel,
For it is the king's sanctuary,
And it is the royal residence."
14 Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:
"I was no prophet,
Nor was I a son of a prophet,
But I was a sheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit.
15 "Then the LORD took me as I followed the flock,
And the LORD said to me,
'Go, prophesy to My people Israel.'"
So often when we think of the Great Commission, we think of it as a call to missions work abroad. At the end of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." (Matthew 28:19a) And Mark records that moment with Jesus saying, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15) We look at those and think about all the far-off places, the dark places, the unknown places where the gospel of Jesus Christ needs to be preached. Our view of mission work is skewed outward, with nary a thought for the fact that "all nations" and "every creature" includes the people in our own communities and even in our own homes. That is not to say that we shouldn't send people out on missions to far-flung corners of the world to share the gospel. We most certainly should, and we do. But are we remembering to be prophets in our own homes?
The prophet is never welcomed by his own people. Nowhere in the Bible do we find a prophet or apostle welcomed with open arms. Even Moses' own siblings, Miriam and Aaron, grumbled at his leadership and tried to usurp his place as God's chosen leader of Israel. (Numbers 12) Elijah was constantly pursued by agents of Ahab and Jezebel. Jeremiah was pursued and imprisoned in a dungeon pit. (Jeremiah 38:6) The apostles were often stoned and beaten for their evangelism and prophecies. Yes, a prophet is never a popular guy with his own people, and sometimes not even with his own family.
Matthew 13:57
So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."
The people of Nazareth were offended that Jesus--whom they knew as the Son of a carpenter, and whose family still dwelt among them--should be able to teach with wisdom in their synagogue. As He had done elsewhere, Jesus no doubt taught about the gospel--the good news of salvation through repentance and faith--and while the people probably welcomed the message of redemption, they didn't want to hear it from someone they knew. After all, what gave this Man they knew so well the authority to tell them what they ought to do to get closer to God? So the people of Nazareth and Galilee rejected Jesus' teachings and refused to listen to someone so close to home.
The prophet Amos faced a similar problem. Like so many of God's faithful servants, Amos was called out from his simple life of common labor--in his case, as a shepherd and tender of wild figs--to become a prophet to Israel. At a time when the kings of Israel were prone to worshiping false gods and persecuting the prophets of the one true God, Amos would never have chosen the role of prophet for himself. He wasn't even a priest! But the Lord called him out to speak, and he was then persecuted by the king's own priests.
In our verses today, we see how the priest Amaziah spoke out against Amos to King Jeroboam, and then he flat-out told Amos to leave and go to Judah to prophesy. The telling moment for Amaziah is when he tells the king, "The land is not able to bear all his words." In other words, the land of Israel could not bear to hear what Amos had to say, and Amaziah told Amos to take his prophecies elsewhere, away from "the king's sanctuary." The command from Amaziah is a plea to not hear what the Lord has to say. Rather than plugging the king's and the people's ears, Amaziah orders Amos not to speak things which the people would rather not hear. King Jehoiakim of Judah, the son of Josiah, had a similar reaction when Jeremiah prophesied against him.
Jeremiah 36:21-23
21 So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll, and he took it from Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him.
23 And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe's knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
It is tempting to think that we can avoid the Word of God simply by burning it or sending it elsewhere, but we cannot. The judgments of God are no less sure if we simply ignore them or persecute the ones who bring them to us.
In our modern age, many speak out against the Bible, trying to suppress the sharing of the gospel and the true Word of God. The atheists and secular humanists try to say we don't need to know God's statutes, commandments, or prophecies. Even in some churches in America, sin and salvation are separated and ignored, and pastors speak only of the promises of God without ever mentioning that we are called to repentance and called to live according to the Spirit and not according to the flesh. The saddest thing in the modern church of our Lord Jesus Christ is that His own ministers are refusing to speak the whole of God's Word, refusing to "offend" the people because "the land cannot bear" all of God's Word. And rather than face the same condemnation that Jesus faced in Nazareth--"Is this not the carpenter's son?...Where then did this Man get all these things?" (Matthew 13:55-56)--today's preachers would rather soft-peddle the gospel message of repentance and righteous living for a gospel of tolerance, a gospel of liberation, a gospel of prosperity, or a gospel of worldly peace.
Matthew 10:34-36
34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law';
36 "and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'"
With the Great Commission weighing upon us just as it once weighed upon Amos and Moses and scores of other prophets and apostles, what gospel do we then preach at home? Is the message we bring to our families and communities the same as the message that may be heard from the mouths of missionaries in Africa, Asia, or the Amazon? Some indeed are given to be full-time prophets, evangelists, and teachers of God's Word "for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-16) But how do we propose to train up our children in the way they should go if we are not teaching them the whole Word of God--complete with the gospel of repentance and faith? Are we prophets in our own homes?
We who are called to "preach the gospel to all creatures" cannot avoid our responsibility to share the gospel at home by simply sending it abroad. And we cannot get away with saying, "Oh, I am not a priest nor a pastor, not a prophet nor an evangelist." Amos and Moses were shepherds! Peter was a fisherman! Matthew was a tax collector! Paul was probably the only one of the apostles who actually knew the Bible well BEFORE he was called to preach the gospel--and he needed to be re-taught by the Spirit of God Himself. All the rest of those called to God's service were "amateurs" just like you and me. When confronted by Amaziah, Amos responded, "I was no prophet" (v.14), and then he went on to speak the prophecy all over again! He didn't stop when confronted with persecution and rejection, and he didn't suddenly remember his place and where he came from and how apparently unqualified he was. Amos continued to prophesy right where he was. He didn't go somewhere else, he didn't send the words by messenger, and he didn't back down.
We are called to be prophets in our own homes, to teach the Word of God to each generation (Deuteronomy 6:7), and to share the good news of Jesus Christ with everyone. (Mark 16:15) The temptation is to then set ourselves up as somehow holier than our families, but the Word of God tells us that what made Moses so special in his own family was that he was HUMBLE, "more than all men who were on the face of the earth." (Numbers 12:3) When Jesus spoke of turning families against one another with the sword that is the Word of God, He went on to say that we must lose our lives, be willing to humble ourselves to carry our own cross. (Matthew 10:37-39) The role of prophet is not a proud one but a humble one, a role of submission to the will of God to speak His Word with truth and integrity, to speak as one who does not judge others but as one who loves others so much that he would rather not see them condemned. (1 Corinthians 10:32-33)
This day and every day, let us reflect upon our role as prophets in our homes and communities. Let us study the whole Word of God, and rely upon the Holy Spirit of God to guide us as we teach these things to our families and friends. Let us remain humble enough to know when we ourselves must be taught by those whose calling is to be prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Let us look at the example of Amos, a simple shepherd called by God to boldly and yet humbly speak the Word to kings and priests. As we remember that we are called by Jesus Christ to make disciples and preach His gospel, let us remember how Amos preached where he was called, even when the land itself could not bear the words of reproach and repentance that he spoke. May we never be afraid to say, "I was no prophet, but I am called by my Lord to share His gospel with you."
Holy Lord God, for too long have I shirked my responsibility to share Your Word, to stand among others and speak the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. Renew my fervor, Lord, and re-energize my ministry among my closest circle: my friends and my beloved family. Help me, Father, to be Your prophet to them, sharing Your whole Word as You will. I pray, precious Lord, that although I was not a prophet, I may now be one to whomever You set in my path, that they may come to that saving knowledge of the grace and mercy of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. In His humble name I do pray. Amen.

I`m trying to get some speed in my digital painting, so I thought Id do a bit of excercise. I dont usually draw robots, but I thought Id give it a shot.
This one took about 1:45 to draw, including some rudimentary scetching for the pose.
ps. I might have been influenced by the portal turrets.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
as it says: try harder :D
nice platical effect but his rigth forearm looks to flat
the desing might be too simple - nice but very simple...

I noticed the forearm being flat, I dont really know what you mean with platical effect... It was simple on purpose, as I said, practice....
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars

very professional stethoscope and really cheap prise very pleased with the item
El elemento funciona muy bien, solo debe pulir mejor las partes que van al oído, ya que producen lesiones a los mismos.
Pro: Cheap. Usefull. Good sound. I could hear immediately the heartsvalves problem of my father and the difference before/after operation. Cons: None!
good product, the ear plugs are a bit hard plastic, but bisides that, i bought a second one :)
good product, the ear plugs are a bit painful when using alot, its hard plastic, but for sometime use it is perfect
kvalitní výrobek za super cenu pro běžné použití. Doporučuji pro všechny, kteří potřebují občasné použití stetoskopu a nechtějí investovat zbytečně mnoho peněz.
a stethoscope that works as it should. good to have at home. listened to my child when she was in the belly
Pros: Cheap and useful. Very easy to assemble. My 2 y/o nephew loves to play with it and now he's not afraid when he has to go to the doctor. Cons: It's very tight and can hurt your ears. It's a little bit noisy.
Pros: Good equipment and it is built with good material. It works. Cons: Too noisy. You have to prepare your ears cause you hear a lot of noises. Overall: If you're prepared it is worth buying.
We bougth for my 2-year-old doughter to be familiar with the stethoscope, when we need to go to the doctor. We want not a toy, to be realistic, but we don't expect professional quality. But we got. Probably a doctor uses a more precise one, but for this price it is more than what we expected.

Tommy Amaker's Harvard team created the biggest splash on the first day of the NCAA tournament, downing New Mexico and causing heartburn for everyone who didn't realize that the Mountain West is a perennial disappointment in March.
But as my friends @PostSports reminded me shortly after the win, Amaker is also a former two-time All-Met from W.T. Woodson. His appearances on The Post's high school all-star list came 31 and 30 years ago this week.
And the first appearance — when Amaker was the list's only junior — coincided with Len Bias's senior year, leading to the photo above. Amaker is the little guy with the big smile in the upper right. Bias is directly beside him, stone-faced, in the Northwestern warmup. That's Johnny Dawkins in the little inset box. Their writeups:
Amaker: Fine floor leader … helped Cavaliers to 22-2 record by averaging 16 points, seven assists and four steals…soft touch from 16 feet….good leaper with ability to hang in the air on drives….aggressive on defense and forces opposing guard to throw away ball….excellent leading the fast break
Bias: Second-team All-Met last year….has accurate 16-foot jump shot and good jumping ability….has given verbal commitment to University of Maryland….averaged 19 points and 12 rebounds per game in leading Wildcats to Maryland AA state final….played particularly well in second half of the season….fine defensive player and shot blocker….good team leader.
Here was the full team:

The holiday season is all around us. People are decorating their homes, the malls are packed with shoppers and one of our local radio stations has started its continuous play of Christmas music. I don't mind all the hustle and bustle. I usually enjoy the holidays very much, as I look at my own decorated Christmas tree here at home. But, it's easy to get caught up in all the material things and lose sight of what's important. No matter what holiday you observe, I believe it should involve being surrounded by friends and family. A time to be thankful for all we have. I know I couldn't have made it through some of life's hurdles without my family.
The biggest hurdle for me of course, was having and recovering from my stroke. The event was unexpected and immediately changed my life. I could no longer work, as the entire right side of my body was affected. My face was drawn and I couldn't speak clearly, I had a limp and my right arm was paralyzed from the shoulder down. While thankful to be alive, I realized my career as a television reporter could be over. It was a depressing time. Despite the fact I couldn't work, I couldn't even take care of my 8-year-old son or myself. That's where my mother stepped in. I didn't even have to ask. She took a leave of absence from work and moved hundreds of miles from home to live with me. She became my instant caregiver.
Having a caregiver is so important and common. According to the National Family Caregivers Association, there are an estimated 25 million caregivers in the United States. Being a caregiver is a huge responsibility and many people may not realize that they are caregivers. But anyone who takes care of someone who is chronically ill or recovering from a disease is in fact a caregiver. And being a caregiver isn't easy. It can be such a demanding job, that many caregivers have increased blood pressure, become depressed or suffer from sleep deprivation. The person who is ill isn't the only one who suffers. Caregivers sacrifice their lives to take care of their loved ones.
I think back to my recovery. My mom cleaned, cooked, took me to my doctor's appointments, helped me bath and dress and then also helped with my son. The list goes on and on. Not to mention, she had to deal with my emotional outbursts, whether it was frustration, anger, and depression and at times, even joy. My stroke not only changed my life, but hers too. She wasn't working or doing her normal activities with her circle of friends. Her house was neglected; her life was on hold until I got better.
What a burden we put on these caregivers, but at the same time many of us couldn't survive without them. I made a full recovery and can continue with my career. I'm very thankful to my mother for her sacrifice and I hope others will join me in thanking their caregivers for all they have done or are currently doing. As I look back now, the stroke didn't take away my life. It became a part of my life. It made me stronger and made me appreciate my family more. Those few months with my mother and living at home will always be a cherished time for me.

Dust collectors have more than one fundamental purpose:
These control systems provide the low particulate matter emission levels required by regulatory requirements, and they minimize localized dust emissions that could hinder maintenance of plant equipment and vehicles. In the case of the pyroprocessing systems, a significant fraction of the plant production is captured by the particulate matter control device and returned to the kiln.
Fabric filter operation can be described as three sequential steps:
1. Filtration of particles from the gas stream 2. Gravity settling of the dust cake 3. Removal from the hopper
Each of these steps must be performed properly to ensure high efficiency particulate collection. In fabric filter systems, particles are removed by 1) inertial impaction, 2) Brownian displacement, 3) electrostatic attraction, and 4) sieving. All four of these mechanisms are active in essentially all fabric filters simultaneously; however, the relative importance of each mechanism differs among fabric filter systems due primarily to the characteristics of the filtration media, the particulate matter size distribution, and the chemical composition of the particulate matter. The ability of fabric filters systems to remove particles over the entire size range of industrial concern of 0.1 to 100 micrometers is achieved due to the complementary characteristics of these removal mechanisms. Inertial impaction is highly efficient for large particles and Brownian displacement is efficient for small particles. Electrostatic attraction and sieving can be effective over the entire particle size range. The combined result of these collection mechanisms is a particle size removal efficiency
Everyone knows that the kiln is the heart of the cement plant but not everyone appreciates the delicate balancing act between combustion, energy use, and product quality. Combustion is the process needed to transform the chemical energy locked up within the fuel into the heat needed to make cement. The more efficient we make this process, the more heat that we unlock, the less fuel that we waste, and the less ash that we produce. Here are a few basic things to consider in this intricate balance.
The key to burning any fuel is to make sure that the particles are small enough that they can be burned quickly and easily. Think of this simple analogy. If we were to light a telephone book on fire with one match, we'd have a hard time getting combustion but if we instead ripped off each page separately and then lit them, we would get much more efficient combustion. If we shredded the book into confetti size material, we would get even more efficient combustion. Producing smaller particle sizes requires using more grinding energy. The balance then becomes a trade-off between how fine to grind and how much more efficient the combustion process becomes with a finer grind. Since a smaller particle size means the fuel burns quicker and easier, it also means there are more safety concerns with handling, conveyance and storage.
The actual combustion process is an incredibly complex series of chemical reactions that start off with fuel, air, and an ignition source. In fact, there are actually more than one thousand separate reactions involved from the transition of fuel into the final combustion products of carbon dioxide and water. The kindling temperature for bituminous coal is roughly 300 degrees Celcius while the kindling temperature for petcoke is about 700 degrees Celcius. (Petcoke has a higher kindling temperature because as it is almost pure carbon and has very few volatiles compared to coal.) The combustion process continues provided there is enough fuel and air supplied. For solid fuels like coal and coke, that means roughly 11.5 pounds of air per pound of fuel.
That old adage still holds true. Operators usually don't have much ability to impact the mixing process except to make sure that the amount of primary air is consistently supplied. The actual physical mixing then becomes a function of burner design and flame geometry. Fuel that isn't burned within the flame poses a critical safety concern because of its potential to accumulate and combust farther on down the kiln. Insufficient primary air can also cause accumulations of solid fuel in the burner pipe system with potentially disastrous results. Keep in mind that the rate of flame propagation in a coal air stream may be as high as 4,500 feet per minute. PCA's Recommended Guidelines for Coal System Safety, SP 027 provides specific guidance on burner pipe tip velocity and air stream velocities for pipes pneumatically conveying coal.
The combustion process heats up unburned fuel, feed, coating, refractory, and the gases inside the kiln. That's why it's so important to maintain stable secondary air temperature. That can only be accomplished by maintaining consistent clinker cooler performance. Remember that fans are constant volume machines. One pound of air at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit occupies just over 13 cubic feet of volume. Raise that same pound of air to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit and now it occupies more than 49 cubic feet of volume. Yes, it does take more fan energy to move 49 cubic feet as compared to 13 cubic feet of air but cooler secondary air temperatures rob the entire kiln system of necessary process heat. Heat used to raise the temperature of the secondary air is heat that's unavailable to raise the temperature of the kiln feed.
Optimal flame length can promote rapid heating and cooling of the clinker. Flame stability also means reduced back end temperatures which in turn means lower heat losses from exit gases and shell radiation. The right flame length also optimizes the ID fan capability and reduces the potential for NOx formation. Unstable flames on the other hand means a varying ignition point, a variable stand off distance from the burner tip, high risk of flame out, and potential explosion risk.
In a perfect world combustion products would be limited to just water and carbon dioxide. But we don't live in a perfect world. Thermal NOx is generated in and around the flame at temperatures greater than 1200 degrees Celcius. A short hot burning zone can reduce the formation of thermal NOx. SO2 is formed as sulfide or elemental sulfur is oxidized at temperatures of 300 to 600 degrees Celcius. Limiting the source of sulfur or the necessary oxygen can limit the potential for SO2 formation. Carbon monoxide formation is another concern. CO is either formed because of incomplete combustion or the rapid cooling of combustion products below the ignition temperature of CO (610 degrees Celcius). Either situation is detrimental to optimizing the process.
Optimizing the combustion process is the key to optimizing kiln operations. Both processes are mutually dependent upon one another and, like most aspects of cement manufacturing that means tradeoffs; tradeoffs between constraints that can't be changed with options that can be.
Anyone that's grown up in the Snow Belt is familiar with scraping ice off the windshield of their car and using the defroster to defog the inside of the windshield. (Even if you don't live in the Snow Belt, you're still probably familiar with a fogged up car window.) Both of these phenomena are actually very analogous to the alkali and sulfate cycles in a rotary cement kiln.
The ice that forms on the windshield of a car is caused by the freezing of moisture vapor against the glass surface. The longer the car sits and the more moisture there is the more ice that forms. (Of course that's true only as long as the outside temperature is below freezing.)
The fog on the inside of the windshield is a slightly different story. The vehicle occupants exhale carbon dioxide and water vapor. The water vapor rapidly condenses from body temperature because of the cold interior onto the cool interior surface of the windshield. The cars defroster removes the fog by blowing hot dry air onto the surface. That increases the temperature gradient and removes the moisture from the air. That's also why the quickest way to defrost the inside of a car is to turn on the air conditioning. The air conditioning removes the moisture from the air. (In most cars, turning the defroster on also automatically turns on the air conditioning.)
Hmmm… rapid temperature changes, evaporation, freezing and melting, air movement. What makes sense for your car also makes sense for your kiln…
Sulfates in the kiln system are brought in either through fuel or the raw materials or both. Alkalis enter through raw meal. As these materials heat up to about 800 degrees Celcius they volatilize (roughly similar to evaporates) in the kiln atmosphere in the form of alkali chlorides and sulfates. These alkali sulfates are then pushed to the back of the kiln by the counter current gas stream and into the lower temperature areas of the kiln system where they then condense… just like the situation during freezing weather where the car's windshield fogs up on the inside when everyone first gets in and before the defroster is turned on. After these materials condense towards the front end of the system, they then travel back towards the burning zone with the raw meal. Here they're once again heated up and re-volatilized into the kiln atmosphere. If we don't remove these alkali sulfates or alkali chlorides they'll continue to build up more and more material… just like when a bunch of people are sitting in a car without the engine running in freezing weather. They keep producing moisture vapor. Local accumulations of condensate in the form of melt wetting partially clinkered raw meal causes the meal to get sticky. This material then accumulates along the kiln walls. This is how clinker rings form.
Once a ring forms it will impede the progress of raw meal passing down the kiln. That's why you'll also hear the term "dam ring." Freezing of the molten sulfates becomes an even greater problem as the dam rings grow in size. The growth in size also means growth in material that is more difficult to heat. (Think of the windshield that continues to gather ice because the supply of moisture and freezing temperatures continues. The more ice you have… the more difficult the removal problem.)
The same principles behind getting ice off your windshield or defrosting your car's interior apply to the kiln as well. You can scrape ice off the windshield… you can blast the dam rings out. Both alternatives take time, risk damage, and only treat the symptom. You can also remove the source of the buildup; either the moisture vapor or the sulfates. Not very realistic since there's water vapor in the atmosphere and sulfates in most materials. You can make sure that the material condenses where you want. That's the whole point of an alkali bypass.
As noted in PCA's Innovations in Portland Cement Manufacturing:
The bypass takeoff is usually located in front of the riser duct because kiln gases coming from below have a tendency to hit the back wall and create an area with low dust concentration at the front of the riser pipe. The kiln gases sucked out of the riser pipe are then quenched to about 660 degrees Fahrenheit to provide the alkali condensation.
We could also control the temperature to make sure that the material just doesn't condense. In the car scenario, we'd just continue to blast hot air from the defroster onto the inside of the windshield. (In practical terms we're keeping the rate of evaporation greater than the rate of condensation.) A precalciner system has an inherent advantage over other kilns systems when it comes to dealing with the cycle of alkali accumulation. In the precalciner we just divert the gas stream with the alkalis before it can condense.
Going back to PCA's Innovations in Portland Cement Manufacturing:
When fuel is burned in two locations, the only process heat requirements in the kiln are the completion of calcination and the maintenance of the exothermic clinkering operation. When the calcination level reaches 85 to 90 percent, the kiln fuel rate is nearly independent of the disposition of the kiln exit gas. If all or part of the kiln gas is wasted, the additional fuel needed to compensate for the heat losses is provided through the calciner burners, and the stability of the kiln operation is not compromised at any bypass level (Warshawsky and Porter, 1979).
Today the Bogue equations are most often cited for their shortcomings rather than their usefulness, but their contribution to cement chemistry and especially raw mix design are invaluable. The Bogue equations provide a simple and convenient method to find out the final composition of a clinker, which tells us a lot about its likely behavior. Technically, they indicate the potential composition since not all of the reactions that occur in the kiln will go to completion and since the cement phases are not ideal compounds. Plant chemists have used these equations for years, sometimes adjusting them based on their own raw materials and their own experience.
You can't make cement if you don't know all about your raw materials. An oxide analysis of the raw materials is the first step, which provides input for a wide variety of ratios and moduli that relate oxide compositions to one another. These include: LSF (lime saturation factor), SM (silica modulus or ratio), AR (alumina-to-iron ratio), and other lesser-used formulas like the hydraulic modulus.
So just how do you come up with a raw mix proportions from an oxide analysis? That's the basic principle behind raw mix design and one of the pioneers that put Bogue back in vogue was Clyde Moore. His important contribution to raw mix design was made in a landmark paper titled, Chemical Control of Portland Cement Clinker1.
Moore selected what he considered were the three most critical control parameters:
The silica ratio represents the burnability of a raw mix. The burnability impacts how much energy is put into the system. As the ratio of silica to alumina plus iron increases, it becomes harder to "burn" — harder to combine the raw materials into the phases we want. As the ratio decreases, the tendency for fluxing (the ability of the solid materials to become liquid) increases, and the combining reactions become easier. Another consideration is that silica present as quartz is generally more difficult to combine than silica present as silicates. The alumina-to-iron ratio is important because it controls the potential C3A/C4AF ratio in the finished cement, which is important because of sulfate resistance, heat generation, and admixture compatibility issues. The lime saturation factor controls the potential C3S to C2S ratio in the finished cement. C3S governs the early age strength development while C2S governs the later age strength.
The key to Moore's method lies in recognizing that most plants obtain their raw materials from just one source. Even if there is some variation, any difference can be distributed proportionally among the four clinker phases. The advantages to Moore's method are impressive:
• The four clinker phases (C3S, C2S, C3A, C4AF) are defined by just three parameters. • Equations can be derived directly for each of the phase compositions in terms of the control parameters. • The ratios of oxides can be used either on a clinker basis or on a raw-feed basis since the ratios are independent of loss on ignition. • There's no need to think in terms of potential clinker phases in the kiln feed where the clinker phases do not yet even exist. • The relative error in the lime factor is less than the relative error calculated in C3S content from the oxide analysis. • There's an easy check on the "real" lime factor through the use of XRD.
• The four clinker phases (C3S, C2S, C3A, C4AF) are defined by just three parameters.
• Equations can be derived directly for each of the phase compositions in terms of the control parameters.
• The ratios of oxides can be used either on a clinker basis or on a raw-feed basis since the ratios are independent of loss on ignition.
• There's no need to think in terms of potential clinker phases in the kiln feed where the clinker phases do not yet even exist.
• The relative error in the lime factor is less than the relative error calculated in C3S content from the oxide analysis.
• There's an easy check on the "real" lime factor through the use of XRD.
Moore developed a variety of examples to illustrate his method, including the design of a raw mix when three materials are available by using two parameters, such as the lime factor and silica ratio.
Today's manufacturing environment uses rapid, in-stream sampling and analysis coupled with computerized proportioning to make almost continuous process improvements. It is a far cry from the matrix methods that helped Moore develop his quantitative relations between chemical control parameters and clinker phases. Moore's method may indeed seem simplistic. But the real benefit is that Moore's method makes raw mix design intuitively obvious for the new process engineer or plant chemist. It's a great teaching tool because it incorporates the basics.
The information in this newsletter was obtained primarily from PCA's Control of Portland Cement Quality by Clyde Moore and his original work 1. "Chemical Control of Portland Cement Clinker," Ceramic Bulletin, Vol. 61, No. 4, 1982, pages 511 to 515.
Pop quiz time… What do a merry-go-round, a slide, and air hockey have in common? Answer: They're all things that can help explain what goes on in a separator. In the case of the cement plant, the separator separates fine particles from coarse particles. The fine particles are collected as product while the coarse particles are sent back for further grinding. The trick is to make sure that the stream of coarse particles doesn't contain any fine particles and, likewise, to make sure that the stream of fine particles doesn't contain any coarse particles. An efficient separator prevents over-grinding and the waste of energy that accompanies it. It also keeps product within specifications by making sure that the correct particle size is achieved. We'll consider a conventional separator for the purpose of this discussion.
All separators use the same basic principles of physics that you probably studied in high school. The first principle is that the faster you spin something around in a circle, the more centrifugal force it has. Think back to your days at the play ground. If you sat on the outside of the merry-go-round, the faster that someone spun the merry-go-round, the more force that pushed you to the outside. Separators use the same principle to force particles to the outside of the device. The greater the centrifugal force; the more particles that are forced to the outside.
The second principle is illustrated by the slide. What goes up must come down. After the particles are flung out by centrifugal force, they impact the side of the separator and then fall down the side to be collected. They fall down because like anything else that has mass, they're affected by gravity. You'll notice that many separators have a cone-shaped lower portion. Those sloping sides, like the slides at a playground, help collect the coarse particles into the apex of the cone where it can then be conveyed back for further grinding.
If you've ever played air hockey you've probably noticed two important facts. Firstly, it's possible to have a small hockey puck "float" on a stream of air. Secondly, something supported on a stream of air can be moved very smoothly and very quickly. Fine particles in a separator are suspended in a stream of air that ultimately conveys them to be collected as product. The greater the velocity of the air, the more particles that get entrained. Alternatively, the lower the air velocity, the less particles that get entrained. (Think about hooking up a leaf blower to that air hockey table and consider the size of the puck that you could use now!)
On conventional separators adjustments that impact either the centrifugal force or the drag force (which is acting in opposition to the centrifugal force) ultimately determine how coarse or how fine the separated material should be. The terms separators and classifiers are used interchangeably because they perform identical functions. The term classifier though typically refers to the later generation "high efficiency" separators. High efficiency classifiers use the same physical principles as the conventional separators although their internal configuration is quite a bit different. So just how are those adjustments made?
Note: Although the terms centrifugal and centripetal are used interchangeably, please note that the correct term is centripetal force. (Isaac Newton was the first person to use that term.)

Can you believe I havent being there, it looks beautiful
Flamingos and Shrimp
Trip Start
Dec 11, 2010
Trip End
Feb 01, 2011
When we descended from the bus in the central square, a local hustler came to meet all of us who were looking for tour boats to the Ria Celestun Biosphere Reserve. The operators try to get groups of eight passengers, so the fee is less expensive than when the boats are only partially full. Our cost was 200 Pesos ($20) per person, and we were gone about two hours.
It was refreshing to be out on the water, with the wind stinging our faces as the driver opened up the throttle to high speed. We skipped over choppy waves along the coast before turning in to head up the Ria Celestun estuary where the flamingos feed at the end.
Along the way, we stopped to see dead, gray tree trunks in the water, which the guide called Tampeten petrified forest. The trees did not feel calcified like others we have seen, but it was an interesting sight. We also pulled up to a dock, where we had time to walk a short board walk next to a natural spring where many little fish had 'feeding frenzies' where they were flipping themselves out of the water, like piranhas. There was a small wooden ladder so people could go for a dip, but none of our group took the plunge! Before heading back to Celestun, the guide steered the boat through a 'tunnel' that had been cut in the mangroves near the water's edge so we could get a good look at these unusual trees.
After the boat tour, we picked one of the outdoor restaurants and ordered some lunch. MMMmmmm! Ten grilled garlic shrimp finished off those boating hunger pangs. (There weren't enough to turn US pink!) The great view was also nice!
We walked along the shore, after lunch, and found a spot where there wasn't much seaweed on the shore. A short, warm splash in the ocean was quite pleasant before we headed back to the bus stop.

TO: | Clerks of Court and Summary Court Judges |
FROM: | Robert L. McCurdy, Assistant Director |
RE: | Estreatments; 4% Handling Fee |
DATE: | September 22, 2010 |
This Office has been asked to provide guidance regarding the time of collection of the 4% handling fee when a bond estreatment is paid in installments. §38-53-70 provides that the court, in its discretion, may permit a surety to pay an estreatment in installments for a period of up to six months; however, the surety shall pay a handling fee to the court in an amount equal to 4% of the value of the bond. The statute further provides that if at any time during the period in which installments are to be paid the defendant is surrendered to the appropriate detention facility and the surety company complies with the recommitment procedures, the surety is relieved of further liability.
We would recommend that 4% of each installment payment be allocated to the 4% handling fee, rather than requiring a surety to pay the entire 4% in a lump sum at the beginning of the installment period. This appears to be an equitable solution, given that the surety is relieved of further liability upon surrender of the defendant, and would forfeit a partial amount of the unused handling fee upon early surrender of the defendant. Pursuant to Order of the Chief Justice dated November 14, 2002, when an estreatment is paid in installments, the 4% handling fee must be distributed pursuant to § 17-15-260, in the normal course of distribution of the estreated bond.
Please be reminded that a surety is required to pay 4% only in the case of installment payments. If the court simply gives the surety a specified amount of time to pay the entire estreatment in one lump sum payment, the 4% handling fee would not apply.
Should you have questions in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact this Office.

On January 25, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit published an opinion in Noel Canning v. National Relations Board, Case No. 12-1115. The case arose out of a dispute between employer Noel Canning, a soft drink bottler, and International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 760, (the Union) the union representing employees, concerning whether there was an agreement on the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, or labor contract, and whether Noel Canning committed an unfair labor practice under the National Labor Relations Act in refusing to execute the collective bargaining agreement.
The case was initially the subject of an unfair labor practice proceeding filed by the Union before the NLRB. A hearing was held, after which the NLRB Administrative Law Judge ruled in favor of the Union, finding a violation of §8(a)(1) and (5) of the National Labor Relations Act. Noel Canning filed exceptions to the ALJ's decision with the NLRB, which affirmed the ALJ's decision. Noel Canning filed a timely action for review of the NLRB's decision, and the NLRB petitioned for enforcement of its decision and order.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals first disposed of the factual and non-constitutional issues, however, found that there were "extraordinary circumstances" under §10(e) of the NLRA, justifying consideration of the jurisdictional issue of whether the Court could entertain consideration of the underlying constitutional issues, which had not been raised before the NLRB. With this finding, the Court proceeded to analyze the issue of the authority of the NLRB to act, and to issue orders, without a quorum. The issue of the quorum arose from the status of three of the five NLRB members as recess appointees by the President, not having been confirmed by the Senate. With only two confirmed members, the NLRB would have no quorum to act.
After engaging in an extensive analysis of the definition of "the Recess", including a review of the Federalist Papers No. 67, the language of the U.S. Constitution, similar language in the North Carolina Constitution which existed at the time of the implementation of the U.S. Constitution, and the historical infrequency of recess appointments, none having occurred in the first 80 years after the adoption of the Constitution and only 3 prior to 1947, the Court concluded that "the Recess" referred to in the Recess Appointment Clause did not support the propriety of intrasession recess or adjournment appointments. To the contrary, the requirement that appointments occur with the advise and consent of the Senate was viewed as of paramount importance, the avoid defeating the careful separation of powers structure in the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. "Adjournment", under the Adjournments Clause, was viewed as referring to legislative breaks, not "a recess", and distinctly different than "the Recess", with intention, by constitutional drafters and the Court. Recess appointments were found to be appropriate only when the Senate was in "the Recess" between congressional sessions, which would last for months at the time the drafters of the Constitution wrote, and not for breaks within a session.
The Court went on to interpret whether the vacancies happened during "the Recess", an additional requirement for valid recess appointments. The Court found that the vacancies did not "happen" during an intersession recess, but happened before that time, and that a President could not simply wait for a recess to fill pre-existing vacancies. The Court likened "happen" to "arise" rather than "exist".
The Court determined that the appointment of three members of the NLRB on January 4, 2012, were not made in an intersession recess of Congress, but after a new session of Congress had commenced on January 3, 2012. As such, they were invalid from their inception, and the NLRB lacked a quorum to conduct business when the decision in the underlying case was made on February 8, 2012. The NLRB decision on that date was vacated.
What does this mean? It is likely that this case will be the subject of a petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, and the issue of recess appointments, and the interpretation of the Recess Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, will be the subject of further review and decision. However, until that time, the NLRB has been determined to have no ability to act and issue orders without at least a quorum of three validly appointed members. Pending cases may not be resolved, and orders of the Board since January 4, 2012, may be subject to challenge.

What emerged is a masterwork of game-dropping performance and hunt-specific features that will load any camp's meat pole with unrivaled efficiency – the new Model R-25. An advanced, highly lethal blend of accuracy, fast followups and light recoil chambered for three of today's most popular short-action hunting cartridges – 243 Win, 7mm-08 Remington and 308 Win. This rifle is everything varmint and predator hunters love about our R-15 in a beefed-up design that easily handles cartridges suitable for big-game hunting. For peak accuracy, its precision-crafted 20" ChroMoly barrel button rifled and freefloated within the machined aluminum fore-end tube. Six longitudinal flutes forward of the gas block keep weight to a minimum and facilitate rapid heat dissipation. The barrel also features a recessed hunting crown to protect the rifling and aid in more consistent bullet flight. When it's time to make the shot, the R-25's ergonomic pistol-grip gives you unmatched control and rock-steady aim. As a whole, this rifle has a balanced, stable design that makes it deadly from the offhand position. True to our hunting market, the traditional two-stage trigger found on AR-platform rifles has been exchanged for a crisp, single-stage version that comes from the factory set at 4 1/2 to 5 lbs. Its carefully tuned upper and lower are machined from rugged aluminum forgings. The entire gun is dressed in Mossy Oak® Treestand™ camo that makes it virtually invisible in the field.

Lowdown; short film thriller about games and trust
By: coffeeshorts
Genre: Drama
Added: 8 years ago
Views: 382
A finely crafted thriller.
Review by: MiamiMovieCritic
Added: 7 years ago
Lowdown is a dark little film about love and its secrets. It fits a surprising amount of atmosphere and tension into one standalone three-minute film.
At first I thought this must be a clip from a feature film. It brought to mind some of the mind-fuckery that's going on in David Mamet films like House of Games and The Spanish Prisoner… but in some ways that's an unfair comparison. Mamet's camera coverage is terrible, while the director of Lowdown, Christian Grüner, is a considerable visual stylist.
After a title card that's almost illegible – it says "a story of pros and con games" – Grüner cuts right to the chase. We're in a darkly lit dining room. Isabel and Steve are playing a game of cards with two friends. Isabel draws a card that says, "Did you ever have sex with your best friend's partner?" Before anyone can answer, a few subtle clues reveal the truth. The way Isabel figures it out is pretty impressive. It reveals how much forethought went into telling this story in a concise way.
What happens next is a little unbelievable. Isabel pulls out a gun, and tells Steve he has two options: Either he can do nothing, thus revealing himself as an adulterer; or he can play Russian roulette, thus proving his love. I'm not sure this makes perfect sense. By doing nothing, the only thing Steve would prove is that he doesn't have a death wish. It doesn't prove he cheated on his wife. The point may be that she's suffering a bout of temporary insanity, and he agrees to her terms to "prove" his love.
At any rate, this is a finely crafted thriller. Slow dolly shots draw us into the scene. It's hard to have four people sitting around a table and make it look good. Lowdown does that and much more.

The Drama of Scripture
8 comments:
- Josh said...
This is a great book, overall. Not overly technical,so it makes a great resource for introducing the unity of the biblical story/drama of redemption. I read through quickly this past fall. I plan on using it this fall for a Sunday School class. Probably the best feature about the book is the authors' complimentary website: http://www.biblicaltheology.ca/. It's full of articles and powerpoints ready-to-go. There's even an 8pg article that summarizes the book.

Thanks, I did come across that after I posted. Excellent stuff as usual from your site. - 9:04 AM

I've recommended it as a core, 'good-to-buy-and-read' book for my level 1 (first year of BA in UK theological education institution) biblical theology module. My few whinges about it (which would be the same sort of whinges about a number of the 'story' approaches to biblical theology, particularly those which foreground one or two major themes) probably wouldn't concern Craig, and (in any case) are more than outweighed by just how helpful and important I think it is. I would dearly love all my students to read it.
- Antony Billington said...
Two other things following on from my last post:
1. We've had lots of reflection on the 'creation-fall-redemption' schema from those (e.g. Wolters, Pearcey) who want to underscore the importance of it for a biblical worldview. Discussions of the biblical story by such writers don't often rise above generalisations on those major plot points, and The Drama of Scripture helps fill out the biblical story from the same sort of 'worldview' perspective. This, I think, could be seen as a distinctive contribution of the book.
2. SPCK in the UK have recently published an abbreviated version of the book, slightly smaller in size as well. It has far fewer endnotes and lacks the maps and diagrams, but it contains sections of reflection on contemporary significance and study questions not found in the Baker edition. - 11:02 AM
- Matt Harmon said...
Thanks for the thoughts. Have you used the powerpoint slides made available at their website, or any of the other resources there as aides in using the book in your courses? - 12:34 PM
- Antony Billington said...
Hi Matt
I haven't used any of the slide presentations, but may borrow some of the maps from them for upcoming sessions. I have directed students to the site in general as a good resource, as well as to some of the articles in particular as providing further methodological reflection on their work.
Antony - 9:55 AM

I have just started my BA Theology if any would like a study partner especially with review of this book in mind I would be interested in hearing from you.

These Islamists were instrumental to the Saudis after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in December 1979. Inspired by the strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam and armed with Saudi funds and weapons, Arab mujahideen poured into Afghanistan. (An estimated 175,000 to 250,000 Arabs and Afghans fought there at any given time during the war, according to terrorism analyst Peter Bergen.) After a decade of guerrilla war during which the Soviets sustained heavy losses, the Red Army withdrew, and their puppet government in Kabul fell soon thereafter." (thanks Sultan)

Wrong. Six days after receiving an earful from Will Carling on the subject of the Lions tour - the eminent Harlequin's anger at being accused by the manager of using the captaincy as a bargaining tool oscillated between wrath and rage - Cotton yesterday ran into another fusillade from Phil de Glanville, Carling's fellow England centre and successor as national skipper.
De Glanville, left out of Cotton's preliminary squad of 62, fired his bullets in the hallowed surrounding of the Cambridge Union, no less. "It is no great secret that I do not get on with Fran Cotton," he told a group of students attending the latest in a series of addresses by leading British sportsmen. "When I was one of the England players' representatives during difficult early negotiations with the Rugby Football Union this season, I had some interesting discussions with him and, when he was subsequently appointed Lions manager, I thought it unlikely that I would be going to South Africa. International selection is a personal thing."
Given that De Glanville had already signalled his displeasure at the entire concept of a preliminary squad, the purpose of which has never been entirely clear, it can be assumed that he has now slammed the Lions door firmly in his own face. Cotton, who was attending meetings in London yesterday and was unavailable for comment, would probably pick himself at centre before either of the England first-choices.
Much to the muted disappointment of those who saw Jeremy Guscott confirm his status as a world-class performer in the final three minutes of the victory over Ireland in Dublin last weekend, De Glanville and Carling will still be first choices when England take on France in a climactic Five Nations shoot-out at Twickenham on Saturday week. Guscott returns to the bench, as does Austin Healey, the Leicester scrum-half who also caught the eye at Lansdowne Road.
Jack Rowell's decision to name an unchanged team was hardly earth-shattering. Indeed, Guscott's brilliance in setting up two late tries for Tony Underwood might even have confirmed the England coach in a belief that his old Bath protege is perfect bench material - a stiletto-sharp runner, tailor-made to take advantage of tiring defences and widening gaps towards the end of a match. In which case, the outlook looks even more depressing for Guscott than a week ago, for he is enough of a traditionalist to believe that rugby is about 15 players, not 21.
In defence of making consistency his chief virtue, Rowell will point to England's 1995 Grand Slam campaign, when the same 15 served in all four matches. It was a similar story in 1991, when England also went through the Five Nations unbeaten. In the other Grand Slam year of the decade, 1992, they made only one change, bringing in Dean Richards for Tim Rodber for the second half of the championship.
There are, however, changes to the A side for the second-string international with France tomorrow week. The Bath prop, Kevin Yates, and the Gloucester lock, Dave Sims, are restored to the tight five while Chris Sheasby of Wasps returns to the back row. They replace Rob Hardwick, John Fowler and Martin Corry respectively.
Richard Cockerill of Leicester replaces his club-mate, Dorian West, at hooker after filling in for Phil Greening on the senior bench in Dublin. At half-back, Kyran Bracken and Alex King return from injury for the Gloucester pairing of Scott Benton and Mark Mapletoft.
Several Welsh rugby clubs are considering taking the Welsh Rugby Union to court if the top division of the National League is reduced from 12 to eight teams next season.
Several clubs in the relegation zone as well as Division Two's leading teams are up in arms. Llandovery are to seek compensation of at least pounds 25,000 if they cannot be promoted, Aberavon have threatened a writ and Treorchy are ready to take out an injunction.
The luckless Scott Hastings, dropped from the full Scotland side and A team, has had to drop out of the squad for the World Cup Sevens after injuring his knee in practice.
Ian Smith, the Scottish international flanker, has severed ties with Gloucester, his home-town club, and agreed terms with Second Division Moseley yesterday.

I live in the KC area and have Surewest as my ISP. Most people that I see posting videos online that they've cultivated from their dvr have Motorolas. We currently have a Cisco Explorer 8652HDC. Does anyone have any info that could help me remove content from it using firewire or whatnot? The helpline and Cisco's website say you can't, but my guess is that that's all their allowed to say to avoid copywrite scandals. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Is this some kind of DVR device? Typically Hollywood makes all the DVR manufacturers encrypt what they record specifically to prevent what you are talking about. Since I've never heard of your unit probably the only option you have is to connect the video outputs from it into a recording device of some type (DVD recorder, PC video capture card) and record in real time as you play the video.
The helpline and Cisco's website are most likely telling you the truth. Again, Hollywood makes them do that. The vast majority of Americans have no desire ever to save any TV recordings so there's been no consumer pushback over this. Certainly there are consumers who do care a lot about this, but there just aren't enough of them.
