Mequon - The Mequon Common Council approved paying sharp shooters once again this year to curb the heavy deer population in the city, citing concern for driver safety due to wildlife on city roadways.
After a 5-2 vote, with Aldermen Dan Abendroth and Andrew Nerbun opposed, the city will pursue a contract with Urban Wildlife Specialists for deer culling, which charges $145 per deer killed.
In addition to vehicular concerns, the effort to cull deer was also started in the city to lessen the amount of damage to property and vegetation. The 2013 budget includes $9,000 set aside for deer culling.
Last year, according to Mequon Police Chief Steve Graff, 61 deer were taken out of the city.
It was Graff who called for an emergency Public Safety Committee meeting before the Common Council met Tuesday to ask permission to pursue the contract because of warm weather and increased vegetation. He said there was not a safety concern and UWS has a clean safety record. The Police Department also uses a surveyor to scan the land for safety issues before UWS culls deer in a specific area or if a resident calls them out to their land.
Common Council President John Wirth said an analysis was done in a previous year when deer culling was not undertaken by the city and there was a marked increase in traffic accidents.
Nerbun opposed this contract, disagreeing with removing deer from the city. Alderwoman Pam Adams said the people in her district like to see deer in their yard; however, curbing some of the deer population is necessary.
"It's not to get rid of the deer, it's to provide control," she said.
Abendroth does not oppose curbing the deer population; however, he wants to utilize the resources available in the community such as the local bow hunters club to do so.
"There are plenty of deer hunters in the city that bow hunt," he said. "We don't know how many deer we are harvesting," so the lack of information on why sharp shooters are needed is the reason he will continue to vote against this contract.

The tension between Rondo and Carlisle about play-calling had been brewing for a little while, team sources told ESPNDallas.com. It reached a boiling point when Rondo appeared to blow off a play call from the bench, prompting Carlisle to storm onto the court while calling a timeout and shouting at Rondo, who responded in kind.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent David Lee has signed a two-year deal with Spurs — including player option, agent Mark Bartelstein tells @The Vertical.
July 28, 2016 | 5:03 pm EDT Update
Head coach Doc Rivers hopes Blake Griffin spends his entire career with the Clippers. At this time of year, trade rumors tend to circulate. But when it comes to his star power forward, Rivers reiterated Thursday on Adrian Wojnarowski's "The Vertical Podcast" none of the rumors are substantiated, and he plans on keeping Griffin. "It's funny, you don't want to go out and send a press release every time there's a rumor about Blake," Rivers said. "We are hoping that Blake ends his career playing for the Clippers, period. So, when teams call, we say we have no interest. First of all, no team's calling right now, because teams know we don't have any interest. It just tells you the different times. Things have changed. Everyone believes that they're media now."

Crews investigating Phoenix house fire
PHOENIX — A family of seven has been displaced from their home after a fire broke out Sunday afternoon.
Fire crews found two single wide trailers with fire coming out of both when they arrived on the scene, near 19th Avenue and Bell Road.
The homes' vehicles were also burning, according to Captain Jonathan Jacobs with the Phoenix Fire Department.
"And then there was some natural gas that was feeding the fire," Jacobs said. "So with the ambient temperature outside, there was a lot of radiant heat."
Both homes were destroyed in the fire. No other structures were damaged.
Jacobs said the family plans to stay with relatives. Crews are still investigating the cause of the fire.

in rails I would have a controller for widgets with an index, show, and crud methods.
the index controller would have a simple
@widgets = Widget.all
respond_to do |format|
format.json {render :json => @widgets}
then, on my home page, or any page in my main apps folder, I could say
<% @widgets.each do |w| %>

<%= w.name %>

With Refinery I have a widgets engine, and the controllers in those engines don't have the standard index, show, and crud methods. If I override the home action in refinery pages_controller.rb with the code above I get the error
uninitialized constant Refinery::PagesController::Widget
My question is: how do I refer to classes in my refinery engines such that I can include them in my views from my main rails app?
Example: app.main.views.index.html.erb

 this is my home page. We sell all sorts of stuff including:

<% @widgets.each do |w| %>

<%= w.name %>

<% @gadgets.each do |g| %>

<%= g.name %>

where both widgets and gadgets are refinery engines. I have a vanilla rails app that does this very thing and it works but I would like to know how to do it in refinery, because figuring this out will open the world to me. Could someone please advise or point to some documentation I might have overlooked that will help out.
EDIT This is the home action in my pages_controller.rb located in app>controllers>refinery directory:
def home
@widgets = Widget.all
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render json: @widgets}

Saint Joseph Mercy Health System
Chief Medical Officer of St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and Livingston honored with safety and quality award
Start Date
Chief Medical Officer of St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and Livingston honored with safety and quality award
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – (April 25, 2013) – The Michigan Health & Hospital Association (MHA) honored Lakshmi Halasyamani, MD, chief medical officer of St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and Livingston, with the 2013 MHA Keystone Center for Patient Safety & Quality Leadership Award for her innovative and steadfast leadership in the midst of an unprecedented fungal infection outbreak.
The MHA award recognizes individuals whose contributions to patient safety and quality improvement transcend the bounds of their own hospital or health system. Halasyamani received the award in the category of clinician leadership at the 2013 MHA Patient Safety and Quality Symposium on April 25.
Starting in October 2012, Halasyamani led St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor's massive response to the largest-ever U.S. outbreak of fungal meningitis and associated infections. The hospital has treated 193 fungal infection patients – more than any other hospital in the country - making Halasyamani's expertise and passion around patient safety and excellence crucial.
"From the beginning of the fungal infection crisis, Dr. Lakshmi Halasyamani orchestrated our response in a remarkable manner," says Thomas Shehab, MD, Chief of Staff, St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor. "Our team was not paralyzed by uncertainty but instead worked together to address a rare illness with no clear treatment guidelines. St. Joe's physicians have become one of the leading experts in the country setting the standards of care for this group of patients."
Although none of the tainted injections were given at a Saint Joseph Mercy Health System facility, Halasyamani established solutions to address the public health disaster, such as opening a fungal outpatient center to provide ongoing care management for affected patients, and coordinating MRIs for every Michigan patient who had received potentially contaminated injections. She partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in developing guidelines, reached out to area experts to provide additional services, and collaborated with clinicians on treatment recommendations.
"Lakshmi has a passion for excellence, an uncanny ability to bring people together toward a common direction, a relentless focus on service, and an enthusiasm to share knowledge with the medical community," said Rob Casalou, president and CEO, St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor and Livingston. "These attributes were admirably demonstrated during the fungal infection crisis. We are blessed to have her leadership within our health care ministry."
Halasyamani joined Saint Joseph Mercy Health System in 2000 and elevated patient safety and quality as guiding principles in a patient-centered model of care delivery. Transparency, communication, honesty and evidence-based clinical benchmarks are embedded behaviors of the medical staff.
She has appointed physician leads on each clinical unit who make routine safety rounds, complemented by clinical nurse leaders and safety ambassadors who focus on quality and safety improvements. A collaborative practice team of physicians, nurses and staff works to improve every clinical data point the hospitals track.
"The MHA and its member hospitals are committed to improving health care quality and safety for the patients they serve," said MHA President Spencer Johnson. "To do so requires patient safety champions to lead in creating a culture of safety and implementing procedures to improve quality. Dr. Lakshmi Halayamani is helping to make Michigan a nationwide leader in this area."

Lyndon Johnson was the first president to appoint an African American to the Supreme Court when, on June 13, 1967, Johnson named Thurgood Marshall, the great-grandson of a slave, to sit on the highest court in the land. Lyndon Johnson exploited his mastery of the legislative process to shepherd a collection of progressive programs, rivaling those of FDR's New Deal, through Congress with astounding success. However, visions of a Great Society were swallowed up in the quagmire of Vietnam: the unpopular and costly war eroded his political base and left him an exile within his own White House.

Primary Examiner-.Iohn J. Camby AttorneyRichards, Harris & Hubbard ABSTRACT In the process for making cement, especially Portland cement, the degree of grinding required for the calcareous reactant material can be decreased by using aragonite, a calcium carbonate bearing mineral.
29 Claims, No Drawings METHOD FOR MAKING CEMENT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improved process for making cement, more particularly to an improved process for producing Portland cement, and most particularly to an improved method for making Portland cement in which at least a portion of the grinding step of the calcareous reactant material is not required.
Portland cement can be made by combining finely ground combinations of a calcareous material (for example, calcitic limestone or oyster shell), an argillaceous material (for example, clay or shale), and other reactant materials (such as iron ore, slag and silica sand). These finely ground reactant materials are fed dry or as an aqueous slurry to a rotary kiln. The kiln burns or reacts these materials at temperatures around 2700 F. to fonn a cement clinker. As the clinker exits from the kiln, it can be quenched, if desired, for example, by a stream of air or steam or by immersion in water. The clinker is then combined with predetermined amounts of gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate) and ground to a finely divided powder. In addition to the gypsum, this powder is composed of lime, alumina, silica and iron oxide as tetracalciumalurninoferrate, tricalciumaluminate, tricalciumsilicate, and dicalciumsilicate. Trace amounts of other materials such as magnesia, sodium, potassium and sulfur are also present in combined form. The powder thus formed is generally known as Portland cement, and has the property of hardening slowly when mixed into a paste with water. The hardening or set time can be controlled by varying the amount of gypsum added when grinding the clinker.
As previously stated, the reactant materials are finely ground when fed to a kiln for burning. The reactant materials are usually ground by dry or wet grinding methods. In the wet grinding process, the calcareous material which has been previously partially broken up is mixed with water and introduced into a grinding unit, thus producing a finely ground material from a very coarse material. It has been thought that if the reactant materials are not ground to a very fine powder, the chemical reaction in the kiln will not completely occur. It will at least not reach the degree of completeness desired for good quality Portland cement. A guideline for the production of good Portland cement is that the clinker or ground clinker (excluding gypsum content) should contain an average of less than about 2.5 percent by weight free lime (CaO), preferably less than about 2.0 percent by weight free lime for a water quenched clinker, preferably less than about 1.5 percent by weight free lime for an air quenched clinker, and preferably less than 1.0 percent by weight free lime for an unquenched clinker. More than 2.5 percent by weight free lime in the final product will normally detrimentally affect the hydraulic and soundness properties of the Portland cement.
When a calcareous material, such as limestone, is utilized in the manufacture of Portland cement, it has been heretofore thought that in order to obtain levels of free lime below 2.5 percent by weight in the cement clinker, that at least 70percent by weight and preferably greater than 75 percent by weight of the ground calcareous material must be -200 mesh. Likewise. it has been thought that greater than about 97 percent by weight of the calcareous material must be mesh. Significant quantities of power are expended in grinding the limestone to this fineness, in addition to the requirement of substantial capital investment. In the typical Portland cement plant a capital expenditure of about 1.6 million dollars is presently required for the grinding of limestone to the foregoing finenesses.
It is desirable to reduce the cost of grinding the calcareous component of a reactant mixture for Portland cement. It is, therefore, desirable to possess a material which does not require grinding or the degree of grinding heretofore thought necessary for the calcareous component of such a reactant mixture. Likewise, it is desirable to reduce the power requirements for grinding the calcareous component. In addition, it is desirable to reduce the capital investment required for grinding presently known calcareous materials.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has been discovered that by utilizing aragonite as the calcareous component of the reactant mixture for Portland cement, this component need not be ground to the finenesses heretofore though necessary for conventional calcareous materials such as limestone. In fact, when the coarser particles are removed by screening, or other appropriate methods, aragonite can be introduced into a kiln directly without grinding, i.e., omitting the grinding step.
Therefore, the present invention provides a process for the production of cement comprising processing aragonite to a fineness less than that necessary to successfully burn calcitic materials to produce a cement clinker having a free lime content less than about 2.5 percent by weight and burning the aragonite as part of a reactant mixture containing an argillaceous material to produce a cement clinker having a free lime content less than about 2.5 percent by weight.
Prior to introducing the aragonite into the kiln, it can be separated into a portion composed of coarser particles and a portion composed of finer particles. The coarser particles can be ground and recombined with the finer particles and thereafter introduced into the kiln as part of the reactant mixture. Without any separation, aragonite can also be ground to a much lesser fineness than is required for conventional calcareous materials and successfully burned to produce Portland cement.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Aragonite differs from calcite, the naturally occurring form of calcium carbonate in limestone, in that it has an orthorhombic crystalline structure, a greater density (2.93 to 2.95 compared to 2.71 for calcite), and less distinct cleavage than has calcite. Aragonite occurs most commonly in beds of gypsum and of iron ore. A form of aragonite known as oolitic aragonite also occurs on the ocean floor in the Caribbean. Oolitic aragonite occurs in discrete grains which are essentially spherical in form, hence the name oolitic aragonite. The material as a marine deposit is unconsolidated and varies in grain size with varying amounts of shell fragments intennixed. A typical analysis of oolitic aragonite appears in table I.
TABLE 1 ARAGONTTE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS It should be noted here that aragonite has been sug gested for use as a source of calcium carbonate for cement. Prior attempts at using aragonite, however, have not been attractive since more time is required, and therefore greater power expenditures must be made, in order to grind the aragonite to the same finenesses heretofore though necessary for acceptable burning of the calcareous component of the reactant mixture. It is theorized that such expenditures are required for aragonite because of its different crystalline structure and greater density than conventional calcareous materials such as limestone.
Since this invention is primarily concerned with a new source of calcium carbonate for the reactant mixture to be introduced into a rotary kiln or other reaction system, it is to be understood that any variety of other materials normally utilized as reactants for Portland cement can be incorporated into a final reactant mixture. The present invention will be described primarily in relation to a Portland cement for which a calcareous material in the form of aragonite, an argillaceous material such as clay or a clay-kaolin mixture, and minor percentages of other reactants, such as slag, form the reactants. The argillaceous and other materials can be ground to the finenesses heretofore required. Typically, the argillaceous material is ground to about 100 percent 50 mesh and 95 percent l mesh. Other reactants such as slag need not be ground as fine, for example, 80percent -50 mesh. 80
The calcareous material, aragonite, along with the ground argillaceous and other materials, can be fed dry or in the form of a water slurry into the kiln. The water slurry usually contains about 38 percent water, but, of course, can be varied. for example, from about 35 percent to about 45 percent according to the particular conditions encountered in a given cement operation. The burning zone temperatures at which the Portland cement is manufactured are in the general range of from 2,650 F. to 2,800" F. This temperature range is a general guideline and can, of course, be varied depending upon the raw materials used and the final mix desired.
In accordance with the present invention, typical percentages of dry reactant materials contained in the original reactant mixture include generally between 73 and 80 percent aragonite, usually toward the upper end of this range. The argillaceous and other materials can be added in any desired amount to obtain the desired end properties in the Portland cement. For example, argillaceous material is typically added in the range of from 10 to 20 percent and other materials typically in amounts less than 6 percent.
When properly sized, aragonite can be introduced into a kiln without any grinding. For example, oolitic aragonite can first be screened to remove any oversize material such as +50 mesh shell fragments, or in the absence of oversized material can be used directly from the ocean for this invention. Directly from the ocean, a typical oolitic aragonite screen analysis is presented in table [1.
TABLE II Screen Analysis, Oolitic Aragonite It is to be understood that when the term "mesh or mesh size" of a screen or sieve is utilized herein that it is to mean the standard number of the U.S. Sieve Series. When it is stated that a given weight percentage of material is +100 or +100 mesh, it means that the given weight percentage remains above or does not pass through a No. 100 U.S. Sieve Series screen. If the term -100 or -10O mesh is utilized, it means that the given percentage of material will pass through a No. 100 U.S. Sieve Series screen.
A presently preferred mode of utilizing aragonite as the calcareous component of a reactant mixture is to subject all of the aragonite, preferably oolitic aragonite, to grinding. In accord with this preferred mode, oolitic aragonite is first dredged or otherwise removed from the ocean floor. The aragonite, including any oversize material, is then introduced into a grinding unit, for example, a ball mill. In the grinding unit, the aragonite is ground to a fineness which will produce an acceptable grade of Portland cement clinker. As will be seen, the finenesses to which the aragonite must be ground are much coarser than those thought necessary for convention calcareous materials such as limestone.
Another approach is to separate the coarser particles from the raw aragonite, grind the coarser particles, and recombine the thus ground particles with the finer particlcs from which they were originally separated. This approach will yield a calcareous reactant material of equivalent utility to that obtained by following the preferred mode outlined above.
A preferred screen analysis of aragonite or reactant material which can produce a Portland cement clinker of acceptable grade includes 100 percent 30 mesh, percent -50 mesh, 65 percent l00 mesh and 45 percent 200 mesh. A more preferable screen analysis will include percent 50 mesh and 45 percent 200 mesh. An acceptable Portland cement clinker can also be obtained when the screen analysis is 100 percent 30 mesh and preferably less than 70 percent -200 mesh. Presently, the foregoing screen analyses provide the best method available to identify and define the type of particles and fineness of aragonite which can be utilized with the present invention. 1f the above limits are utilized, a good Portland cement clinker will be obtained.
EXAMPLES For a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are presented for illustrative purposes. They are intended to be exemplary only and not delimitative in any manner. All percentages used throughout this specification are percentages by weight. Mesh sizes are defined above.
EXAMPLE I In a cement plant, oolitic aragonite which contains 97.00 percent calcium carbonate, 0.04 percent silicon dioxide, 0.02 percent Fe O and 0.02 percent A1 0 is placed in a first 9% by 34 inch ball mill charged with 3 inch balls and a second 10 by inch ball mill also charged with 3 inch balls. The mills are fed by a screw conveyor from the raw material stockpile. The product is slit so that approximately 60 percent goes to the first mill and 40 percent goes to the second mill. The aragonite, ground at the rate of about 435.5 barrels per hour, is mixed with water and the argillaceous material. Two tanks are filled. The first tank contains about 73.8 percent calcium carbonate; the second tank contains about 87.5 percent calcium carbonate. The fineness in tank 1 is 94.1 percent -50 mesh, 76.2 percent 100 mesh, and 56.2 percent 200 mesh. The fineness of the slurry in tank 2 is 94.3 percent 50 mesh, 74.4 percent 1OO mesh, and 48.4 percent 200 mesh.
The aragonite slurry in combination with sufficient amounts of clay, kaolin and slag to produce a type 1 Portland cement mix are further mixed in a series of blending tanks. These reactants are further blended in a kiln feed tank. Water composes about 42.8 percent by weight of the feed tank slurry A burning zone temperature of about 2,700 to 2,750 F. is maintained at the hottest point. The blended slurry is then fed to the upper end of the kiln over a period of about 24 hours. The burn is successful. The kiln remains clear and no kiln coating is lost. The clinker forms easily and is air quenched. The feed end temperature remains constant at about 640 F.
Data obtained during the run including a screen analysis, calcium carbonate content of the calcareous feed slurry, and free lime in the clinker is presented in table 111. Table IV contains a chemical analysis of the clinker obtained during the run.
Table IV Representative Clinker Sample, Example 1 GA is tricalciumaluminate, and C AF is tetracalciumaluminoferrate.
EXAMPLE ll A second run is made utilizing essentially the same input. However, this time the aragonite is not ground as finely as in example I. The calcareous slurry feed tank average fineness is 92.25 percent -50 mesh, 71.6 percent -l00 mesh and 49.4 percent 200 mesh. Tables V and VI set forth the results from this run.
TABLE V Data From example 11 Hours Feed Slurry Material '70 CaCO, Free After Passing 200 Mesh 1n CaO In Start Screen Feed Clinker 6 5 l .6 76.6 1.46 12 50.8 76.1 0.48 18 50.4 76.8 0.24 Average 5 1.5 76.8 1.52

The advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. By using aragonite, Portland cement can be manufactured omitting at least a portion of the raw material grinding step. Properly sized aragonite can be utilized without grinding. To eliminate a separation step, however, a preferred mode of operation is to grind all of the aragonite for a shorter period of time than is necessary for conventional calcareous materials. By operating within the preferred mode of operation, an estimated 60 percent of the installed equipment necessary to grind limestone to the requisite fineness can be eliminated by the use of aragonite. in a typical Portland cement plant, use of aragonite can eliminate a capital investment of over 1 million dollars in installed equipment. In addition, the power savings realized by operating 60 percent less equipment is very significant.
As is readily apparent from the foregoing disclosure, the degree to which aragonite need be ground is substantially less than normally required for conventional calcareous materials, such as limestone. Other variations of the present invention will be evident from a review of the foregoing specification. The invention, therefore, shall be limited only by the definition of the appended claims.

Hillary Clinton has made herself scarce since she abandoned her campaign for US president earlier this month, but she reunites this week with ex-rival Barack Obama as part of her return to the public eye.
A fiery former GOP congressman who gained national prominence for doggedly pursuing impeachment of President Clinton has some Republicans worried he'll play spoiler in a tight presidential contest.
Bob Barr's Libertarian Party bid for the White House is the longest of long shots, but political experts say he may be able to exploit the unease some die-hard conservatives still feel about Sen.
