As time goes on, this software suite keeps getting better, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. In 10 years time, this project will be just as important as it is today, and will probably become the only way to run what will then be "old" software, when writing for Windows was the norm. I've been an avid user since the nineties, and I can honestly say I've been able to run Windows programs on Linux that I would otherwise have to had run on (native) Windows. The source code is not bad, either. Wine hackers: Keep up the good work, and thank you so much for working on this project!

Dunne supports return of artificial pitches
9:13am Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in Sport By Jonathan Waldron
Colchester United boss Joe Dunne believes artificial pitches could be the answer to beating the big freeze.
The U's were left frustrated after their League One clash at Hartlepool United fell foul of the cold weather, last weekend.
And last night's under-21 development league clash between the U's and Brighton and Hove Albion was also called off.
Colchester boss Dunne feels artificial surfaces could help cut the risk of postponements and losing valuable revenue.
The Football League discussed the possibility of introducing artificial surfaces last summer but the idea received little support from clubs.
Dunne added: "Astropitches are different now with new technology and science has changed.
"Revenue for lower league clubs now is vital and when games are called off, it's hard."
See Tuesday's Gazette for more on this story and all of the latest Colchester United news.

The issue of fan safety etc is another important factor although thousands do attend premiership games during the severe weather, that's for sure.
Joe: if I were you, I would concentrate on strengthening the team (where are the promised new guys for the squad?) before making comments that, at best, divide your ever-diminishing support base!

Well, I guess this 100 year old secret family recipe is still remaining a secret. I'm still trying to figure where the "mousse-like" creme topping went. I'm not a novice cook or baker by any means, yet my thirteen year old daughter and I went over the directions several times to see where we may have gone wrong. The topping was nothing more than thickened melted chocolate. Was the butter supposed to be right from the fridge and not room temp? Was there supposed to be beaten egg white in the topping? Anyway, the kids thought it was acceptable, however, hubby and I thought it was way too sweet for our taste. I don't think I'll be making this again.
Something must be missing! I made the cake as instructed, was high like a souffle when I took it out of the oven, immediately fell to less than half, mousse-like topping was only melted chocolate, etc. Not what it was stated to be
Fabulous cake, and a nice, very chocolatey, butter cream frosting. Next time, I will make a 1" indentation around the outside edge, since the center fell, and then I won't have the sunken look.

I've got to be honest. I was overweight and out of shape. I didn't feel good. I was tired. My joints ached. My confidence was down. Like so many of you, I was unhappy about how I looked and how I felt. I knew I was getting older but I didn't want to feel older. Plus, talk about stress. Here I am, a single mom managing a career. It was very easy to put on a few pounds here and a few pounds there. Sometimes life just gets you off track and before you know it, you're 50 pounds heavier. Well, Nutrisystem got me back on track.
When I started Nutrisystem, my first goal was to be healthy. But as a woman I love having a small waistline and an even smaller backside. And I have to admit, thanks to Nutrisystem, I have both. I have so much energy now, too. I haven't had this kind of energy in at least 10 years. I feel like getting out and rock climbing and biking, and doing things I love doing but didn't because I was overweight. I feel better, and I feel younger, too. They say you can't turn back time. Well, look at me and say that. Because I say you CAN.
I admit it. I love to get compliments. It makes me feel good to hear that I look great. A while back, my brothers came out to visit me in L.A. They couldn't believe how much weight I'd lost, so I got Jimmy, Jay and Merrill on the program. But I have to tell you that the best compliment I received was from my 19-year-old daughter. The other day she looked at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "Wow, mom. You look great. I think you are a hottie!" Look. Losing weight may not make me a better mom. But it does make me a happier mom. As women, we spend a lot of time caring for everyone else but spend zero time for ourselves. I finally did something great for me so I could do something great for my family.

By Jill Terreri
Mayor Byron Brown's proposed $482.5 million spending plan is up for a vote by the Common Council during a special meeting at 3 p.m. today in Council Chambers.
Council leadership and the administration are working out the details this morning, and the amendments have not been printed up, I'm told.
The Council's budget hearings involved questions to department heads related to many matters outside of what was contained in the budget, so it's unclear what Council members will do to change the proposal.
Fillmore Council Member David Franczyk had suggested the Council add money for crime surveillance cameras, enough for one in each Council district. Franczyk is in the minority so it's not a sure thing that will happen, but the Buffalo Police Department has about 600 requests for the cameras, and the clerk's office rountinely receives requests for cameras from block clubs.
The Council is not expected to change much in the budget - many of the members praised the document since it was released May 1. They will also likely not give Brown a headache with their changes, as seven of the nine Council members have appeared by Brown's side during his re-election campaign: President Rich Fontana, Majority Leader Demone Smith, President Pro Tempore Bonnie Russell and Council Members Darius Pridgen, David Rivera, Joe Golombek and Chris Scanlon.
In other activity today, the Planning Board met this morning and heard an intense debate about a proposed 90-foot cell phone tower on the property of St. Martin de Porres church on Northampton Street.
On one side was lawyer Adam Walters, representing T-Mobile, and on the other was lawyer Adam Perry, representing the church's neighbor, Community Action Organization of Erie County.
T-Mobile had a cell tower on the former Deconness hospital site nearby, before it was demolished. It now rents a temporary space owned by CAO and thought it could locate a permanent location on CAO property, but a suitable site couldn't be found, Walters said.
Walters tried to paint CAO as upset that they lost the tower lease to the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, but CAO said they objected to the proposed location for other reasons, that it is too close to the sidewalk and makes the land around it undevelopable.
Perry said even though he represents CAO, he brought T-Mobile to the church in order to find a suitable site on that property, but that the proposed location they came up with is not appropriate for CAO's planned developments in the area.
CAO and Kaleida have a development agreement for the former Deaconess site, and L. Nathan Hare, executive director of CAO, said the organization will soon control the nine-acre site and could work with T-Mobile to locate it there.
Linden Park resident George Stokes told the board that the neighborhood is improving and that he didn't want the tower - and its 50 foot-by 50 foot base - so close to the street, but he didn't mind if it was set farther back.
The matter was tabled at the request of Ellicott Council Member Darius Pridgen, who urged the sides to work out their differences.
The Council will also have a vote on the tower, as special permission is needed to locate one in a residential district.
The Planning Board approved several projects, including architect Steve Carmina's makeover of a building at 9 Genesee St., that he and his wife, Brenda, are planning to move into. He is planning to return the building to what it looked like in 1930, and is applying for historic tax credits. The first floor would be used by a commercial tenant - as yet unknown - and the residence would be on the second and third floors.
A new music club planned by Savarino Companies at 49 Illinois St. was approved, though Marisa Proietta-Milbrand, co-owner of the nearby Cobblestone Bar objected, saying that Savarino tenants have complained about noise and that in the past complainants have reported her bar to the police department and the state liquor authority.
"There are many people in the Cobblestone district who are opposed to this project," said Proietta-Milbrand, who has been there for 14 years.
Because of complaints about her business, she is confused by Savarino's entry into the entertainment business, she said. She also complained about rodents in the area.
Savarino's director of development, Kevin Hays, explained that a Dumpster for the club will be located at a property that Savarino owns behind the club, and that the renovation of 49 Illinois will help to curb the rodent problem. He said the neighbors Savarino has spoken with - mostly Savarino tenants - support the project.
Other approvals include an outdoor patio with four tables for Manakeesh and More at 1146 Hertel Ave., and a new restaurant in Allentown. Khalid Ammur plans to open Luna Luci, a French and Italian restaurant at the old French Quarter at 220 Allen St., on July 1. A new sign at the Ambassador apartment building at 175 North St. was also approved.
The board waited on approving an additional level on a planned parking structure at Catholic Health System's new headquarters on Genesee Street near Route 33, and said a new public hearing must be held first.
Catholic Health is proposing adding a new level to the parking ramp to make room for 220 additional cars.

The Table of Contents
Once several chapters have been created and developed, it is time to organise and order your Table of Contents.
Adding Sections to your Table of Contents
On the Book Editing page your newly created chapters will be sitting under the Hold chapters section, but before you add your chapters to the Table of contents, you may want to create separate sections for groups of chapters.
To add sections to a book, first you need to navigate to it's editing page, either via your Profile page or use the Books link in the menu to find and work on a book created by someone else.
- On the editing page click NEW SECTION at the top or bottom of the Table of contents.
- The New section window opens, enter the title of your new section and click Create section.
- The new section is created and placed at the bottom of the Table of contents.
Organising the Table of Contents
Hold Chapters
Inside a book's Chapters tab, the page is divided into two areas, the top area is the Table of contents and the bottom area is called Hold chapters. When a chapter is first created it is automatically placed into Hold chapters and stays there until you are ready to publish that chapter. Any chapter residing in Hold Chapters will not be visible in you books Reading page and will not be included when you publish your book (e.g. creating a book or web formatted pdf, or epub)
Re-ordering Sections and Chapters
If your sections need to be re-ordered click and hold on the up/down arrow at the left of the Section bar you wish to move, then drag the section up or down to get to it's rightful place. If you need to delete a section, drag it into the Hold chapters area of the Chapters tab.
Once the book's sections have been set up you are able to use the same technique to drag your chapters from the Hold chapters area into the correct section of the table of contents. If there are any chapters you are unsure about or want to make significant modifications to you can drag them back to the Hold chapters area so they wont appear in the Table of Contents on your Book's Reading Page.
Deleting Sections and Chapters
To delete a section, use the above method to move it into Hold Chapters once in there it will be deleted.
Currently chapters can't be deleted from Booki, but to prevent them from appearing in a book's Reading page or from being published drag them into Hold Chapters.
Editing Chapter and Section Titles
Once a chapter or section has been created, you may not always like the title or you might be re-organising the entire book and therefore chapters and sections need to be re-named for the new structure. Renaming is the same for both chapters and sections:
- Open your book's Edit page and make sure the Chapters tab is selected.
- Double-Click on the chapter or section name that you want to change. A text field opens allowing you to change your title.
- Make any changes you desire and then click on the SAVE button to the right of the text field. CANCEL will of course cancel any changes made and return you to the previous title.

Title: Schulle was born to attend AU
One student new to Anderson University this fall takes special pride as he walks across campus. Anderson Schulle, a 23-year-old international student from Brazil, is realizing his dream of attending the school for which he was named. As a youngster in Brazil, Schulle didn't think much about his name. Anderson is a fairly common name in that country, he said. What is uncommon is how he got it.
Missionaries Maurice and Dondeena Caldwell of Anderson started Boa Terra Bible School in Brazil 30 years ago. One of the first students in the seminary-like school was Lorivald Schulle. While Lorivald was enrolled at Boa Terra, a choral group from what was then Anderson College visited the Bible school through the Tri-S program, which sends AU students around the world to study, serve and share.
Lorivald was obviously impacted by that Tri-S group and the Caldwells' stories about their hometown and the college from which Dondeena graduated. After he completed his ministerial training at Boa Terra, Lorivald and his wife, Suzana, had a son.
"They had such a high regard for Anderson College, Tri-S and the city of Anderson that they named their first baby Anderson," said Maurice Caldwell, who was a trustee at AU for 15 years. "... I told President (James) Edwards that I doubt in the history of Anderson University that anyone has been named after the school."
Edwards said he has heard of many students around the world who have been so impacted by AU programs that they dream of coming to the school. He had never heard of a person being named after the school, however.
"Isn't it a moving thing to think that a family would be so touched," he said.
It wasn't until Anderson was nearly a teen that he found out what had inspired his name. His parents told him after yet another performance by a musical group from Anderson University. This time it was in Germany, where the Schulles had moved when Anderson was a young boy.
When Anderson moved back to Brazil around the age of 16, the name started to hold special significance for him. He knew he wanted to go into the ministry, but was still trying to map out his future.
"That is when I started to dream about coming here," Anderson said.
A couple of years later, he met Luciana, the girl who would become his wife. Luciana, a talented singer and pianist, told him that she wanted to go to a small school in the United States called Anderson University because of its exceptional music program.
"She was kind of surprised when she found out this was my dream," Anderson said.
The couple married in December 1999.
In September of that year, Anderson came to Anderson to see the school for the first time. "It was a very strange feeling," he said. "It felt like I was home."
When Anderson and Luciana graduated from Boa Terra in December, their mutual dream of attending AU seemed unattainable due to finances.
They traveled as missionaries to churches throughout Brazil, selling compact discs of Luciana's music to raise money. Then, at the end of June, their financial aid came through and the dream became a reality. They arrived on campus Aug. 18.
"We couldn't believe it," Anderson said. "We were so happy."
Luciana is a music major. Anderson is taking undergraduate courses and plans to enter the school of theology to gain a master of divinity degree.
They are trying to adjust to life in the United States. Everything is so big, and the pace of life is so fast, Anderson said. People have been very friendly and helpful, though, he said.
The Caldwells have made the transition easier, and have let plenty of people know about the new student with the familiar name.
"When I walk with Maurice Caldwell, he will tell everyone that story," Anderson said. That's OK with him. Anderson takes pride in his name and his school.

NORMAN — Steve and Shirley Bates, of Norman, celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary today.

DC Universe Online is certainly brimming with potential, but until Sony irons out some of the kinks, the various bugs and server issues prevent it from being the triple-A console MMO experience we've been craving all this time.
We like
- The production values. Great animation, character models, cut-scenes and audio work
- Teaming up with like-minded heroes/villains for co-op play and raids
- The addictive and fast leveling up system
We dislike
- The repetitive mission types
- Slowdown, getting thrown out of servers and some game-spoiling glitches
- The clunky user-interface and chat function
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
Early adopters beware: DC Universe Online is typical of any subscription-based MMO that's in its infancy. Though we're promised an evolving world with brand new areas to explore, new characters to interact with and tons of new missions, it isn't going to happen overnight. Likewise, the issues with server stability as well as the numerous bugs and glitches won't be ironed out immediately either. Sony Onl...

A frontal system is working across KY and it will bring some showers and storms. Once these clear out of the area it looks like some much cooler air will also follow it into our region. Once again... it won't last long! This month has been up and down so far and that pattern continues for a little while longer.
By the end of the week I believe we will all be thinking.. "Man this feels like winter" but trust me... not just yet! However, I thought what better time to put out a winter forecast than this week. So on Wednesday evening... it will be posted right here. I will have it on the air on Thursday at 6pm. Here's a preview... SNOW!

The Berea Community boys basketball team opened up the season Thursday with a loss on the road at Frankfort.
The Pirates committed 33 turnovers in a 70-54 defeat. Daniel Hubbard and Ronnie Terrill each had 14 points for Berea, while Andy Allen and Eli Woodie each had eight points.
Berea shot 41 percent from the field and was three-of-13 from three-point range. The Pirates were also just 17-of-34 from the free throw line.
Berea out-rebounded Frankfort 37-32.
Deondre Tate had four points, while Nolan Sweet and Dustin Kates each had three points.
The game was the first at the school for new Berea coach Cameron Jackson.
The Pirates are set to return to action today against Lynn Camp. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
Central golfers honored
Madison Central coach Tim Stephens and two of his players were recently honored by the Kentucky Golf Coaches Association.
Stephens was named the 2012 Region 9 Boys Coach of the Year and Dylan Kelley and Devin Gabbard were named to the All-Region 9 Team.
Kelley and Gabbard led the Indians to a second-straight regional title Sept. 26 at Kearny Hill Golf Links in Lexington. Central had four players finish in the top 13 and beat out Lexington Catholic by five strokes for the championship.
Gabbard, a senior, shot a team-best 73, +1, while Kelley, also a senior, shot a 74, +2.
The Indians went on to finish eighth at the state meet. Kelley finished tied for 39th and Gabbard finished tied for 49th.

University Heights Secondary School
BRONX NY 10455 Map
University Heights Secondary School
What's special:
The downside:
The InsideStats
Our review
University Heights Secondary School has the best of both worlds: it offers the comfort of a small school and the variety of academic options usually found at a large school. Students have a dizzying range of choices both during and after school: high achievers may earn as many as 18 college credits and have off campus internships; students may grow vegetables in the school farm, join the robotics team or play in the school salsa band after school. University Heights is a gem in the South Bronx and should not be overlooked.
Top graduates have been admitted to highly selective colleges such as New York University, University of Wisconsin, Spellman, Bard, Vassar, Trinity, Sarah Lawrence, Brown and Columbia.
The school is warm and friendly with a collegial atmosphere. Students call their teachers by their first names. Teachers expect a level of academic maturity. For example, 10th graders in science class were instructed to use MLA style to format research logs for a big project due at the end of the semester. "I like our teachers and principal," said Ryan, a senior. "They make us feel like we're talking to our peers."
University Heights belongs to a consortium of 30 schools whose students are exempt from taking most state Regents exams. They present portfolios of their work instead. Everyone must also log community service hours and complete at least one college course to graduate.
Each semester, the school offers seven college courses taught by professors who visit the school from Bronx Community College (the high school's former home). Topics include business, psychology, painting and sociology.
Some students load up on the challenging classes and activities while others choose to take it easy. Some upperclassmen told us they had multiple hours of homework each night from Advanced Placement and college courses, but one 12th grader said it was her easiest year yet.
Class discussions were creative and thought-provoking. In history class, a group of sophomores compared the French Revolution and recent upheaval in Egypt. In tinkering class, freshman fashion household odds and ends into little battery-operated cars. The school is particularly strong in science and math: calculus, AP biology and physics are all offered. Principal Hazel Joseph Roseboro said four students (including two girls) went on to study engineering at colleges in 2012, including Purdue and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Roseboro has been at University Heights for nearly two decades, first as a student, then as a teacher and administrator. "I tell my students, 'If I can do it, you can do it,'" she said.
Students are at ease with Roseboro. (A sophomore knocked on her door during our visit to borrow a pair of pants from her stash of extra uniforms after his ripped.) Staff members are happy, too. Turnover is very low. Every Friday, the entire staff gets together before the first bell for a school-sponsored breakfast, a tradition that's as old as the school.
In recent years, University Heights evolved from a school for overage and under-credited kids to become the college-prep school it is today. In 2010, the school lost its space on the Bronx Community College and moved into its current home, in the South Bronx. Most students say they feel safe at school, according to the 2012 Learning Environment Survey.
The former elementary school building is shared with Mott Haven Village Preparatory School. Ten years ago, the building was home to South Bronx High School. The space is old and the hallways are narrow but the school is tidy. Some popular math and science classes are crowded with as many as 33 or 34 kids.
More than 30 community-based organizations provide services at the school. Good Shepherd staffs the school with four guidance counselors (one per grade) and helps run a farm behind the school parking lot. The organization also facilitates student volunteer work and internships. Inwood House runs after-school services, which range from salsa band to teen pregnancy prevention. And through a federal program called Upward Bound, students may take trips to visit colleges or to Washington, DC. Students chosen to participate in Summer Search take summer trips to visit colleges and, after junior year, may go abroad to places like Peru and Thailand.
University Heights has a beautiful new sports field for gym and after-school sports like volleyball, basketball, track and baseball. Sports teams are shared with Mott Haven Village Prep, as is a LYFE center, which offers free childcare to young mothers at both schools. The school also has a psychologist, nurse and a doctor on-site five days a week. The medical office provides shots, check-ups and physicals for college.
The school uniform is black pants or skirts and a white or purple button-down or polo shirt. No one is allowed to leave for lunch. Most students commute from Manhattan or the Bronx to school.
College: The school has produced nine POSSE scholarship recipients and two Gates Millennium scholarship recipients, whose education is fully funded through graduate school. There is a full-time college counselor and a buzzing college office.
Special education: University Heights has co-taught classes for students with special needs. Roseboro says there is a small but growing ELL population, as the student body is becoming more diverse with a recent uptick in South American, African and Asian students. Special education students also take college classes.
Admissions: Applicants must have grades of at least 75 in their 7th grade academic subjects. University Heights looks at attendance records and requires a writing sample and interview. Roseboro says good character sometimes trumps good grades. (Anna Schneider, November 2012)

Jurors consider verdict in Emily Longley murder trial
7:35am Monday 21st May 2012 in New Forest
JURORS in the case of a man accused of murdering a Hampshire student will today return to consider their verdict.
Elliot Turner, 20, above left, is accused of strangling 17-year-old aspiring model Emily Longley, above right, in the bedroom of his house in Bournemouth, while in a jealous rage.
The jury at Winchester Crown Court are also deliberating whether Turner's parents, Leigh, 54, and Anita, 51, are guilty of perverting the course of justice by helping their son cover up the crime by destroying a confession letter.
Turner pleaded guilty during the course of the trial to a charge of perverting the course of justice.
The four-week trial has heard Turner killed Brockenhurst College student Emily in his bed after going "nuts" following a month of anger and upset over his suspicions she was "twisting his heart" by seeing other men.

I loved the comfortable feeling of the hotel and the staff who went out of their way to accommodate us.
I wished the bathroom had a bathtub instead of a shower, but this is a very minor issue.We had an absolutely wonderful (though short) stay at the Avon Manor. I love the way the staff is immediately available when you want them to be but completely out of sight when you don't need them-- it feels as though you are staying in your own home and your comings and goings are private. I loved the comfortable antiques and the care given to the presentation of everything from the silver to the coffee cups to the pillows on the bed. We also enjoyed sitting outside on the wraparound porch and pretending it was our home! The room was excellently furnished, the linens were soft and smelled wonderfully fresh, and though our room was small, we did not feel a lack of space because it was so comfortable.

No problems, Lots of space/nice room and at the right price...
The place is pet friendly - which is nice, and in the perfect location. There was construction around the pool, so it wan't pool friendly at the time, but accessible. Made a mistake on the travel dates, they accomadated us, but charged us a higher rate. The rooms smelled like mildew, and although there were no bugs, the place was so old, that you could see around the whole door, and other areas where they could walk right in. The place was so badly lit that every time I turned on a light, especially in the bathroom and kitchen, I was just waiting to see something run and hide. Would never sit on furniture, it looked like it hasn't been cleaned since it was bought, same with rugs. There was no comforter, a LOUD A/C - just as loud and non working as the bathroom fan. The bed sank inward and was horrible, and the TV had no real cable channels for women to enjoy.

The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Scores of same-sex couples crowded Seattle City Hall for a day of wedding ceremonies Sunday, the first day they could marry after the state's voter-approved gay marriage law took effect.
While numerous weddings were taking place across the state, both private and public, the city hall weddings were the largest public event, with about 140 couples taking part. The city set up five separate chapels to accommodate the revelers. Starting at 10 a.m., cheers and applause regularly broke out as another couple's marriage became official. Weddings at city hall were to continue through 5 p.m.
After couples married, they exited city hall, greeted by a steady rain and by dozens of supporters who cheered them with shouts of "congratulations" and flowers as they descended a large staircase down to the street.
"I don't even have words for this," said Caren Goldenberg of Seattle, who married her partner of seven years, Casey Evans. "It just makes me really proud of my city."
Mayor Mike McGinn, who greeted couples at they arrived, called it a "great day, a joyous day."
"It's really wonderful," he said. "A new civil right is going to be recognized in this great civil institution."
Keith Bacon and Corianton Hale of Seattle, who celebrated their six-year anniversary the night before, hugged and kissed to loud cheers and camera flashes as they took their vows before one of the 16 local judges who volunteered to officiate the weddings on Sunday.
"We're totally thrilled," Bacon said. The couple had a commitment ceremony in August but said this day was particularly special.
"We had looked at this as maybe a day we would sign a piece of paper and seal the deal, and instead we're having this huge party being thrown in our honor," Bacon said. "It's just mind blowing."
Nancy Monahan, 57, a retired petty office with the Coast Guard, waited outside before the weddings began with her partner of 14 years, Deb Needham, 48.
Monahan was wearing her uniform, and Needham was wearing an ivory dress and jacket and matching hat. They said they wanted to join the large wedding event at city hall because of the significance of the day.
"It's not very private, but very historic," Needham said, to which Monahan added, "And very awesome."

Gas Technology: Smartening up your steam system
Steam systems provide heating, cooling, humidification, water heating and process heat for hundreds of different industrial activities. According to the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE), 45% of all the energy purchased by U.S. manufacturers is used to produce steam. These systems are reliable and often operate adequately with minimal attention. That's why owners may be incurring major energy losses and drops in system effectiveness without knowing it.
The solution is to install modern equipment for steam system monitoring, and to intensify basic plant maintenance procedures. Help is available for you to get a better grip on your system. Doing this will assure trouble-free, efficient operation.
The boiler, and beyond
Kelly Paffel, a Technical Manager from Swagelok Energy Advisors, recently made a presentation at a Technology and Market Assessment Forum sponsored by the Energy Solutions Center. His topic was "Steam System Thermal Cycle Efficiency." In a recent extensively monitored example installation, total energy losses in the boiler were measured as 18.6%. Steam distribution losses were measured at 14.5%. Only a limited number of steps were available to reduce boiler energy losses, so the major opportunities for system efficiency improvements were at the distribution and energy use end.
According to Paffel, 3.8% of the energy loss was in condensate energy not reclaimed, 4.4% in uninsulated lines and equipment, plus 7.4% in steam leaks and losses to the atmosphere. Paffel indicated that before thorough steam management programs are initiated, 44.3% of the energy provided to the boiler did not result in useful steam. By implementing appropriate steam management improvements, this could be reduced to 25.6%.
Start with the basics
Often owners install new, high-efficiency boilers, and then are disappointed that energy bills continue to be surprisingly high. The reason may be that the plant downstream from the boiler isn't providing maximum efficiency. The elements of steam system energy improvement include thermal insulation of piping and equipment, improving the condensate return system, assuring proper steam trap operation, and taking advantage of new tools for steam system monitoring.
Improving thermal insulation reduces system heat losses. Paffel says, "To prevent thermal losses, all devices in the steam and condensate system should be insulated, including valves, expansions joints, heat transfer components, tanks, condensate pipe and fittings. In the DOE's tip sheet on insulation for valves and fittings, insulating a 6-in. gate valve could save approximately $525 per year." Manufacturers such as Insultech offer durable fitted insulation systems for a wide range of pipes and fittings.
Target wet insulation
Often, old insulation is no longer effective, especially if it has become saturated with condensate. It is important to eliminate sources of moisture prior to insulation replacement. Problems may include leaking steam valves, pipe leaks, or leaks from associated steam equipment. If significant insulation replacement is undertaken, it may be necessary to rebalance steam flows and delivery temperatures in the system.
Paffel indicates that to improve plant efficiency, one of the highest returns on investment is to properly return condensate to the boiler plant. He indicates, "Condensate can contain as much as 16% of the total energy in the steam vapor, depending on steam pressures. Because condensate also contains boiler treatment chemicals transferred during steam generation, improving condensate return also reduces chemical costs, make-up water costs and sewer system disposal costs. All of this adds up."
Extend condensate return system
Owners should ensure that condensate piping extends to as many condensate sources as possible and is adequately sized. It has to accommodate both liquid and vapor. Condensate piping that is sized for the liquid portion only will be undersized. Ask your engineer or contractor to evaluate the feasibility of extending condensate return piping to all parts of the system. Just like steam lines, condensate lines should be insulated to minimize energy losses.
Steam trap evaluation
The purpose of a steam trap is to return accumulated condensate and remove non-condensable gases while allowing the free passage of steam. Steam traps come in a wide variety of types and sizes, but have in common the need to be regularly checked to assure proper operation. The difficulty is that many traps are located in areas where access is difficult or even dangerous. Too often these steam traps are not inspected with sufficient frequency, and where they are not functioning correctly, repair or replacement is too often postponed.
Paffel points out that plant operators need to look at steam trap stations, not just the singular steam trap components. "A station consists of isolation valves, strainer, strainer blowdown valve, universal connector and in some cases, a check valve. The steam trap station should be free of threaded connections, which are prone to failure." He says that the two biggest culprits for steam trap station failure are incorrect sizing and incorrect installation. "Incorrect sizing can negate proper steam trap design and installation and can cause condensate backup and/or steam loss. Incorrect installation can result in a faulty trap and potentially unsafe condensate conditions in the steam system."
Steam traps can represent major losses
The DOE cites as an example of potential energy losses in steam traps a survey at a large government-owned facility. Each trap in the system was identified, and its in-service performance evaluated to determine the total cost of wasted steam energy. Of the 910 traps identified, 207 were found to be wasting a total of 4,783 lb of steam per hour at an annual cost of more than $60,000.
It is important to choose the correct type of steam trap and to install it in the right location in the system. As an example, a fixed orifice steam trap can be quite effective and is relatively inexpensive to install. However it doesn't handle fluctuating steam flows well and its orifice can be plugged, or conversely can be eroded into too large an opening. In either case, the inexpensive solution has suddenly become quite expensive.
According to T.J. Secord of Armstrong International, a recent presenter at a conference sponsored by the Energy Solutions Center, the monthly cost of a failed steam trap can range from $210 to over $1,000, depending on the size of the trap and the operating pressure of the system. Multiply this by the number of failed traps in the steam system, and the results are staggering. Armstrong offers its SteamEye™ steam trap monitoring system to provide immediate notification of a steam trap failure. The system uses various types of trap status transmitters for remote placement to detect abnormal trap operation.
The beauty of remote monitoring
For example, a conductivity remote monitor is used with Armstrong bucket and inverted-bucket type traps to monitor the liquid level inside the trap. An ultrasonic monitor is used with other types of traps including fixed orifice traps to detect improper operation. All transmitters communicate via a wireless link to a data gateway which provides communication to a computer display showing trap status and possible alarm conditions. The system can also monitor the status of safety relief valves, liquid levels or coils.
Secord points out that this type of immediate notification of steam trap failure not only minimizes energy losses but helps a plant manager allocate labor resources effectively. The gateway unit used with the system allows users access from any computer connected to the network, and can be programmed to link with BAS and distributed control systems in manufacturing operations.
Monitoring system at airport
An example of a successful monitoring installation is included in a case study at an airport by the University of Minnesota. It describes the installation of the SteamEye monitoring system on over 700 traps in a steam system used to generate domestic hot water and to provide air tempering. Steve Shuppert, chief engineer at the Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC) explains, "We're restricted on personnel so we've never had the time to monitor our steam traps as often as we'd like to. We had no way of knowing if a trap failed until there was noise in the line or people complained about the temperature."
After learning about SteamEye at a workshop sponsored by its gas supplier, CenterPoint Energy, MAC decided to pilot the system. Maintenance staff installed sensors on 66 steam traps in its energy management center and tested the system for one year. "It worked fantastic," says Shuppert. The MAC then installed the complete trap monitoring system at the airport in three phases. Shuppert estimates MAC's system has a 2.5 year payback.
Bring in an expert
Swagelok Energy Advisors, Armstrong International, and similar firms can do a complete steam system evaluation, including insulation, condensate return, and steam trap station monitoring. Paffel from Swagelok indicates their customers have obtained energy savings of up to 22% and steam cost reductions up to 16%. Payback on the cost of such an evaluation averages less than 40 days. Recommendations are classified to assist owners in prioritizing improvement projects at each facility. Suggested improvements range from safety and/or code issues requiring immediate fixes, to longer-term system improvement projects.
If your steam system isn't living up to the potential of your boiler plant, now is the time to have an evaluation done and get started on improvements that will pay for themselves in short order. Both the hardware and the consulting help are out there to get you on the right track.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Tena Ezzeddine
An Italian woman on her honeymoon was killed when a car plowed into a crowd on the Venice boardwalk on Saturday night, officials said. Eleven others were injured, including her husband. Tena Ezzeddine reports from Venice for NBC4 News at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2013.
The woman killed in Saturday's crash on the Venice boardwalk was on a honeymoon with her husband after getting married two weeks ago in Italy, Italian newspapers reported on Sunday.
Alice Gruppioni, 32, was the newlywed daughter of an Italian businessman from Bologna, Italy. She died with her injured husband at her side at a Los Angeles hospital, the newspaper La Republicca reported.
The groom, Christian Casadei, suffered minor injuries in the 6 p.m. Saturday crash. Relatives from Italy arrived in Los Angeles late Sunday to join him.
Gruppioni reportedly ran a family business in her hometown, Rastignano, a village just south of Bologna. La Republicca reported that she and her husband were building a house there.
An aunt told NBC4 that Gruppioni was a businesswoman and a romantic who had dreamed of visiting California with her husband. She said Gruppioni's death was "a tremendous injustice."
Gruppioni was the daughter of Valerio Gruppioni, a businessman and former president of the Bologna soccer team.
Family members were rushing from Italy to Los Angeles, the newspaper reported, and an official from the Italian consulate office in L.A. was at the hospital as well.

Quickies from the CW's party -- featuring people dancing on stilts and girls swimming in bubbles:
The devil inside. Ray Wise, who was Leland Palmer on "Twin Peaks," plays the Devil on the new CW comedy "The Reaper." Nice guy but he creeps me out ... but of all the celebrities who would want to kill me, I hope he would be the one to do it. Can you imagine getting killed by Leland Palmer of "Twins Peaks"? Cool! (With my luck, I'll be murdered by a nobody, some extra or D-lister!)
Honey, who's shoes are you wearing? At a press conference to promote the new CW show "Gossip Girl," one of its beautiful young starlets was sitting front and center, legs crossed and waving her crossed leg up and down. She did not realize that -- from the front rows of the press -- we could see a tag attached to the bottom of her shoe. What did the tag say? It was the name of her character. Yes, this "Gossip" princess borrowed shoes from the show's wardrobe department! Scandal! (I thought it was strange that everytime I asked her about her character, she had to remove her shoe and look at the bottom of it!)
Dude, at what Gap did you buy those pants? At the same "Gossip" panel, one of the male stars had on a cheap pair of jeans. How did I know they were cheap? The lining of pants leg was coming undone ... and he kept walking on this long string hanging down from it. See there? Attending all those Bravo and Style network panels have paid off for me. I can identifiy cheap clothing ... of course all I have to do is open my own closet to really identify cheap clothes. Scandal!
Best local at the party: Had a good time hanging out with "Gossip" co-star Matthew Settle of Sevierville (my ex-semi-hometown). We had a nice chat (aka an interview) earlier in the day and then met up for a vodcast interview at the party. Though I had an invite to go bar hopping in West Hollywood with some fellow critics, I declined when Matty and his wife asked me to stay and shoot the bull with them at the end of the evening. His wife makes him watch "Sex & The City" every night -- and it drives him to distraction. He loves "Entourage" and "The Sopranos." Matty is truly excited over "Gossip Girl," in which he plays a former rock star. And yes, he may get a chance to sing and play guitar in an episode. I'm happy for him. He's good people!
All 'Alien' to him. Dan Byrd, the 22-year-old star of "Aliens in America," was nice enough, but he took it upon himself to direct my one-on-one with him by allowing other reporters to be a part of it. I had to explain the concept of "one-on-one" to him. You see, it's not a "one-on-one" if it's three people. I'm no math genius, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't add up.
