Agent says Lakers, Clippers interested in Louis Amundson
Sep 4, 2013, 12:34 PM EDT
Teams know what Louis Amundson is going to give them — real energy off the bench, rebounding, and almost no offense whatsoever. He was part of a good Suns bench back in 2010 but the past three seasons have seen him bounce around the league, struggle to get regular minutes, hand-in-hand with that his production has fallen.
Maybe a team looking for a veteran big will take a chance on him.
Maybe a team like the Lakers and Clippers, Amundson's agent told Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News.
Free agent forward Louis Amundson has sparked interest from several teams, including the Lakers and Clippers, according to his agent, Mark Bartlestein. Bartlestein said in an interview with the Los Angeles Newspaper Group that his client plans to finalize a deal with a team within the week, though he wouldn't go into exact specifics what role and terms would best suit Amundson.
First the word of caution: A month ago we heard how Amundson was going to make his decision in a week. So don't bet on this timeline.
Of these teams, the Lakers make a little more roster sense. The Clippers have 14 contracts on the roster and while they might use that 15th spot for a big it seems more likely they would like a guy they can develop. Yes, the Clippers have questions about depth up front (unless you are big believer in Byron Mullens and Ryan Hollins) but the fact is Amundson isn't the answer.
The Lakers would have 14 guys only if the keep second round pick Ryan Kelly — but he may not be healthy by training camp — and Summer League team leading scorer Marcus Landry. But they might let one of those two walk to make space for a veteran who can provide some depth up front (they project to have Kelly, Elias Harris, Jordan Hill and Robert Sacre as bigs off the bench behind Pau Gasol and Chris Kaman, with Gasol playing plenty of five).

This feels like an article that was written a month ago. Who's his agent trying to convince?
- eventhorizon04 - Sep 4, 2013 at 1:59 PM
Agreed. This has to be at least the fourth time this offseason that there's been a "report" of "multiple teams" being after Louis Amundson.
I really doubt he'd be unemployed this long if he had several teams seriously interested in him.
- jimsjam33 - Sep 4, 2013 at 3:01 PM
The Clippers need Admundson . Stop fooling around and sign him . You have no back-up power forward . Admundson will be good for 10 to 15 minutes per game with positive energy . He doesn't need to score , but his rebounding and good defense will be sufficient ! He's a can't miss at the position . He should have been signed before Jamison and Mullins .

Lakers need another scrub. Jimmie has built such a great team. Championship or bust.
Jerry RIP…

He was productive for the suns a few years back.. was happy when the warriors got him.. thought he could grab some boards.. he was pretty bad for us.. hes under sized.. was ecstatic when the pacers traded Brandon rush to us for him.. horrible trade for Indiana.. they could have used his bench scoring and 3pt shooting against the heat.. a shame he tore his acl..

Look out! Amundson is a beast! Future HOF'r fer sure!

WNBA, players agree on new deal
The WNBA and its players' union reached a labor agreement on a six-year deal. The previous agreement expired Sept. 30.
The Associated Press
The WNBA is assured of labor peace for the next several years.
The league and its players' union reached a labor agreement Saturday on a six-year deal. It replaces an agreement that expired Sept. 30, a few weeks before the Minnesota Lynx won their second league title in three seasons.
The maximum team roster size will increase by one to 12 under the deal, which must be drafted into a formal collective-bargaining agreement in the next few weeks.
"The WNBA and WNBPA are pleased to announce an agreement in principle on a new collective-bargaining agreement," WNBA President Laurel Richie told The Associated Press. "Over the next week to 10 days, we will be working together to complete the written agreement."
The players ratified the deal in a vote over the past few days. The union constitution required approval from a majority of voters.
"This is an important step in the process and we will now focus on completing a fully drafted Collective Bargaining Agreement," WNBPA director of operations Pam Wheeler said.
Among the changes:
• Owners will be able to increase fines and penalties associated with overseas play when players can't fulfill WNBA obligations;
• Smaller annual increases in the salary cap than called for in the previous deal;
• An improved revenue-sharing program for the players.
Roster size was the biggest issue for the players. Teams were severely hampered after rosters were cut from 13 to 11 in 2009 to save money and keep labor peace. Some teams suited up eight players for games last year because of injuries.
The agreement follows a deal by a Magic Johnson-led group to buy the Los Angeles Sparks, whose previous owner bowed out in mid-December.

FREDDIE MAC: Fixed Mortgage Rates Remain at Six-Month Low
"Mortgage rates were little changed amid a week of light economic reports," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's vice president and chief economist. "These lower than expected rates are welcome news with the spring home buying season underway and may even provide those who haven't already refinanced possibly a reason to take another look. Of the few releases, advanced retail sales [PDF] rose 0.1 percent in April, but below the market forecast consensus of a 0.4 percent increase. Also, the Producer Price Index [PDF] for final demand rose 0.6 percent in April which followed a 0.5 percent boost from the prior month."

- We enjoyed the meal but wereOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 3/22/2008We enjoyed the meal but were warned by the server that ordering a few items for the table as starters would delay the rest of the meal, specially as the restaurant became busier. We therefore limited ourselves to the standard first, main, and side dishes. The food was delicious and the service was professional, as has always been our experience. We appreciated the decanting of the nice red we brought. When the restaurant became full it was hard to find a way to get back to my table after visiting the restroom. My waiter politely informed me as I was heading to the restroom that others were waiting to be seated. I could understand her concern but felt rushed nonetheless.Special Features:

It's a handsome space, and from a window table, there's an excellent view of the Rockridge College Avenue streetscape. It's in a charming old Oakland neighborhood with delightful little shops. BART is right across the street for convenient access--but no interior noise from the trains. The restaurant is a little louder than we would like, but worth it for the food, wine, service, and ambiance.Special Features:

This particular occasion was for my 40th birthday, and they did not disappoint. I had a first course of tuna confit with winter vegetables that was particularly special. Anyone who has not been there should definitely go. Also noteworthy that their produce is always seasonal and exceptional quality, and they use only sustainable and humanely treated meats and fish. And some of the best desserts I've had since I moved to the Bay Area (5 years ago) have been at Oliveto (two I still think about are a rhubarb cake and a gingersnap ice cream). Really a great place, and I'm lucky to have it in my neighborhood so I can enjoy dining there often.Special Features:

The pork tartare was spot on w/wild arugula, chestnut pappardelle w/hen delicate and full of flavor, gnocchi w/blu & walnuts balanced and mouthwatering, and spit-roasted pork loin/belly an awesome taste treat! We wanted each dish to last longer. Sarah, our server, recommended the hazelnut meringue for dessert and that topped off this exquisite evening.

The Liverpool Care Pathway is dead, but we must still address how we care for the dying
It is now clear that the "one or two mistakes" were in fact overwhelming problems, but phasing out the LCP still leaves the problems it was created to resolve
Just six months ago, health secretary Jeremy Hunt described the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway as a "fantastic step forward" and urged that "one or two mistakes" should not be allowed to discredit the end-of-life system.
In an interview with LBC radio in January he said: 'I would be very sad if as a result of something that is a big step forward going wrong in one or two cases we discredited the concept that we need to do a lot better to give people dignity in their final hours because it's something we haven't done well. Lots of people don't want to die with lots of tubes going in and out of their body – they actually want to die in a dignified way.'
Today, Care Services Minister Norman Lamb will confirm that the LCP is to be phased out within a year following a review he commissioned from Baroness Julia Neuberger which found that the "one or two mistakes" were in fact overwhelming problems. Yet phasing out the LCP does not address the fundamental problem that Mr Hunt alluded to - we need to do a lot better to give people dignity in their final hours.
The problems identified by the Neuberger review were not with the principle of the LCP - providing that dignity - but with its practice. Hospitals exist to heal patients - to make them better so that they can return to their families. Hospitals are much less good at caring for dying patients - those who are not going to recover and need to be kept comfortable and pain free in their final hours. The last thing such patients need is aggressive treatment with toxic drugs, violent attempts at resuscitation or invasive surgery - yet many still receive it.
Death is a process, not an event and when this irreversible point has been reached the role of medicine must be to assist nature, not fight against it. Patients refuse food and drink as part of this natural process as the body shuts down. The LCP has been accused of leading to the deliberate "starvation" of patients when its intention is to avoid the force feeding of them.
It is in its practice that the LCP has failed. Far too many patients in far too many hospitals were placed on the pathway without their knowledge or consent or, most importantly, that of their families who were then faced with witnessing their loved ones decline without understanding what was going on.
To add insult to injury, hospitals received financial incentives to place people on the pathway. Again the intention was good - to ensure as many dying patients as possible had a dignified death. But it led to allegations that they were being "bribed" to put patients to death and the Neuberger review rightly says this must be ended.
Good communication, and good training for staff, is vital in this delicate are of medicine. The Neuberger review recommends "individual end of life care plans." But this does not address the central difficulty with the LCP - our reluctance to discuss issues surrounding death. The LCP itself may now be dead - but a better way of caring for the dying, sensitively implemented, is still desperately needed.

Lighting the way
|| Print |
|Articles - March 2013
|Monday, February 25, 2013
"How may I light your world?" asks Kay Newell as a potential customer walks through her door. Newell, also known as the Light Bulb Lady, is the founder and owner of Sunlan Lighting. Hers is no ordinary shop. Aisles wind through towering stacks packed with light bulbs, many of them hard-to-find or novelty lights larger stores wouldn't bother with.
Newell has no idea how many different light bulbs she has in stock. But she will tell you that when you can't find the right bulb elsewhere, you'll end up talking to her. "We meet the needs of people who can't find the bulb they need anywhere else," she says.
Newell does not strive to be on the cutting edge of artificial illumination. She does not carry mundane bulbs that can be found at any lighting or big-box store. She does not carry grow lights. "I don't sell anything that can be used to grow marijuana. It's not worth the risk to me." She does not sell light fixtures or other accessories.
She also won't sell online. And therein lies her value to her customers. "Online sales are for people who know exactly what they want," Newell says. "People come to me because they aren't sure what they need. I am extremely knowledgeable about this business, so I can help people find just the right light." Newell pursues an aggressive marketing strategy. She advertises heavily in local newspapers, such as Bob Pamplin's community weeklies, the Hollywood Star and Portland Observer. She partners with lighting fixture stores that send their customers to Sunlan and she will special order any bulb you want.
There's a dark side to her business. Very few bulbs are made in the United States, which bothers her. Some of her favorites, the 150-watt bulb in particular, have been "outlawed" by the "stupid" government. Her personal "fun" bulb, the holiday bubble light, is vanishing because "no one wants to make them anymore." Yet new products like the sunlight-mimicking Full Spectrum Light, well, light her up.
"People actually feel better when they use them," she says. And the Light Bulb Lady loves to brighten people's days.

Opinion: End the 'doc fix' charade, once and for all
Doctors are breathing a collective sigh of relief because we again escaped a cut in Medicare payments. But this whole recurrent charade underscores, once again, the unresolved issue of how to pay doctors. The fiscal cliff rescue included the usual "doc fix"—an override of the 27 percent Medicare reimbursement cut required by the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) law this year. That law has dictated annual cuts in Medicare reimbursement, which have been overridden by Congress annually. Nevertheless, this escape only postponed the crisis for older patients for another year. Moreover, the budget correction required by overriding the SGR seems to have been largely funded by lowering hospital payments instead—also perhaps bad for patients.

"Untamed:" an immoderate love for a wild Georgia island
Will Harlan's "Untamed" is the true story of Carol Ruckdeschel, whose love for Georgia's Cumberland Island sometimes hampered her ability to fight for conserving it.
Associated Press
"Untamed: The Wildest Woman in America and the Fight for Cumberland Island"
by Will Harlan
Grove Press, 320 pp., $26
Boys and men who love the rugged outdoors have long had plenty of role models, from James Fenimore Cooper's Deerslayer to Huck Finn and Teddy Roosevelt. What about women who prefer woods and swamps to modern society?
Will Harlan's "Untamed" tells the thought-provoking and occasionally tragic story of Carol Ruckdeschel, who has spent much of her life living on and fighting to protect Georgia's Cumberland Island and its creatures.
As a child, Ruckdeschel loved creeks, woods and all the critters in them. She once brought a 2-foot snapping turtle home and hid it in the bathtub for a week — and got a whipping. She learned to collect and eat roadkill, took in a baby bobcat and baffled and attracted men with her combination of natural beauty and tomboy toughness.
Harlan skillfully captures the many layers of Ruckdeschel's personality, from her love of sea turtles to her at times torturous relationships with other strong-willed women, the National Park Service and various lovers. Ruckdeschel shoots one abusive ex-husband dead, leading to endless small-town gossip, and spends considerable time studying the rotting carcasses of sea turtles.
Readers come away with a poignant sense of a gifted woman who could have been a great marine biologist or national environmental figure, except for two problems: One was the sexual discrimination Ruckdeschel faced in the male-dominated South of the 1960s, and the other was her own ambivalence about being anywhere other than the beaches and woods of Cumberland Island.
In that sense, "Untamed" succeeds in telling a moving story not just about the environment, but also about how society limits some gifted women who don't fit traditional role models. Ruckdeschel isn't just fighting to save Cumberland Island, she's fighting for the right to live simply on her own terms: in a swampy shack, foraging for her food, away from much of humanity.

This application claims priority of U.S. provisional application No. 60/265,290 filed Feb. 1, 2001.
This invention relates to the production of nanostructured or ultrafine particles (i.e. particles of less than 1 micron and preferably in the size range of 25-500 nm) of lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) a compound, which is an important anode material for rechargeable energy storage devices such as Li based batteries and asymmetric hybrid cells. The electrochemical performance of nanostructured lithium titanate exceeds that of coarse (large) size particles of the same material.
Nanomaterials-derived products are being actively pursued for use in a wide range of applications, including electrochemical energy storage and generation, chemical sensors, optoelectronics, semiconductors, wear and scratch resistant coatings, and heat transfer. The interest stems from the fact that researchers see immense potential for improving functional properties of components and devices by nanostructuring. In some cases, the use of nanoparticles as feedstock material can facilitate processing of an improved end product at a lower cost. However, while the use of nanoparticles as starting material can lead to benefits in a number of applications, researchers must tailor the structure and composition of the starting powder in order to maximize the property enhancements and performance and realize the true potential of nanomaterials.
Over the past several years, a number of techniques have been developed for the production of ceramic nanoparticles. These include: laser ablation, microwave plasma synthesis, precipitation from a solution, spray pyrolysis, plasma arc synthesis, hydrodynamic cavitation, and gas condensation using either a physical evaporative source or chemical precursors. Vapor phase processes are capable of producing well-defined spherical nanoparticles with narrow particle size distribution. Several single component oxides can be produced by an atmospheric flame process at low cost. However, it is extremely difficult to control the composition of multi-component ceramic powders because of the significant variations in the vapor pressures of different constituents. On the other hand, solution-based processes have an excellent control on the composition, but particle characteristics are not as good as those of produced by any of the vapor phase process. The synthesis method discussed in this patent application bridges the gap between liquid and vapor phase processing routes to produce nanostructured doped/multi-component ceramic powders with well-defined particle characteristics.
This invention relates to nanostructured (or ultrafine) Li4Ti5O12 powders with a spinel-type structure with improved Li-ion diffusion. Li4Ti5O12 can also be written as Li(Li0.33Ti1.66)O4. A spinel structure consists of eight subcells, and each subcell has four oxygen atoms, four octahedral interstices and eight tetrahedral interstices. In each elementary cell, two octahedral sites are filled with Li and Ti atoms in a ratio of 0.33: 1.66 and one tetrahedral site with one Li atom.
These materials are of particular interest as anode for Li-based rechargeable energy storage devices. The present invention includes nanostructured (or ultrafine) Li4Ti5O12 powders and method of making the same. The present invention relates to a general method for the production of nanostructured (or ultrafine) Li4Ti5O12 powders. Li4Ti5O12 is an attractive negative electrode material for secondary rechargeable energy storage devices wherein Li-ions are cycled in and out during a charging and a discharging process of the device. Three Li ions can be inserted into the structure according to the reaction:
The reaction occurs at approximately 1.5V vs metallic lithium, thereby providing a relatively safe electrode system compared to carbon in which insertion of Li ions occurs at a voltage range of 0.0 to 0.5 with respect to Li. However, safety is gained at the expense of cell voltage and energy density. From a structural viewpoint, Li4Ti5O12 is an ideal anode for Li-based rechargeable batteries, because the Li insertion into the cubic Li4Ti5O12 spinel structure occurs without any change in the lattice parameter (8.36 Å); thereby providing an extremely stable electrode structure. Negative electrodes made of Li4Ti5O12 material can undergo many hundreds of cycles without structural disintegration. Moreover, lithium insertion causes a first-order displacement of the tetrahedrally-coordinated Li ions in the Li4Ti5O12 spinel structure into octahedral sites to generate the ordered rock-salt phase Li7Ti5O12. The insertion (and extraction) of lithium is thus a two-phase reaction which provides a constant voltage response at˜1.5V. Furthermore, the voltage of a Li/Li4+xTi5O12 cell changes abruptly at the end of discharge and charge. Thus, a Li4+xTi5O12 spinel electrode provides very sharp end-of-charge and end-of-discharge indicators which is useful for controlling cell operation and preventing overcharge and overdischarge.
Several of the commercial applications, including hybrid electric vehicles, uninterruptable power sources (UPS) and power tools, require that batteries be able to charge to their full capacity in a short period of time, less than 30 minutes. However, anodes made of micron-sized or larger Li4Ti5O12 spinel particles do not exhibit good rate capability because of poor Li-ion diffusion.
In the past, attempts have been made to improve the electronic conductivity of Li4Ti5O12 phase by substituting Li-ions on octahedral sites with Mg or Al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,221,531 to Vaughey et al. discloses electrically conductive Li[Ti1.67Li0.33−yMy]O4 (M=Al or Mg) powders. However, improving electronic conductivity of Li4Ti5O12 phase will not enhance its charging rate capabilities as the electronic conductivity of Li4Ti5O12 anode is important only during the discharging process. The present invention focuses on developing Li4Ti5O12 materials with high Li-ion diffusion capabilities, which implies high ionic conductivity, and hence high charge rate capabilities.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference is made to the following drawings which are to be taken in conjunction with the detailed description to follow in which:
FIG. 1 is a photomicrograph of the Li4Ti5O12 particles produced in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is the x-ray diffraction pattern of the particles produced in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the present process to produce nanostructured Li4Ti5O12
FIG. 4 is a photomicrograph of the Li4Ti5O12 particles before heat treatment.
In one aspect, the invention provides ultrafine powders of Li4Ti5O12 with particles in the size range of 25-500 nm. The average size of particles is about 500 nm or less, preferably about 300 nm or less. In another aspect, particles are composed of nanocrystallites, which have an average size about 30 nm. This invention also includes the method of producing these ultrafine Li4Ti5O12 particles. The process utilizes (i) nanoparticles of TiO2, (ii) a lithium salt such as, lithium nitrate, lithium iodide, lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride and lithium carbonate, and (iii) an organic solvent with a boiling point in the range of 70-230° C. The process carried out at pressures in the range of 0.5 to 10 atmospheres. An inorganic salt of Li is mixed with TiO2 nanoparticles (˜20-25 nm) in an organic solvent such as, hexanol. The solution is heated (preferably in a refluxing operation) to a high enough temperature (70-230° C.) at a pressure to facilitate the diffusion of Li ions in to nanoparticles. After completion of the reaction, the powder is heat treated (annealed) in O 2 at a relatively low temperature (500-800° C.) to form the desired phase. The heat treatment can also take place in an atmosphere containing an inert gas such as, N2, He or Ar. Powders were annealed at several temperatures to ensure the complete transformation to a Li4Ti5O12 phase. Once the transformation to Li4Ti5O12 phase has completed, further high-temperature annealing by promoting the sintering between particles will form coarse particles. Therefore, the lowest possible annealing temperature needs to be utilized in order to maintain the ultrafine nature of Li4Ti5O12 particles.
In contrast to solid state synthesis techniques, the present process leads to ultrafine particles, which are composed of nanocrystallites. Additionally, this process enabled us to produce discrete particles with precise composition, which was not possible by either conventional sol-gel or vapor phase processes. The process described in the present invention utilizes an organic solvent with a boiling point of 79° C. or more, preferably about 125° C. or more and more preferably from about 150 to 230° C. The process for making ultrafine multi-component oxide particles described in the present invention is quite different from the well-known hydrothermal process in which particles are produced by heating chemical precursors or precursor particles, which are dissolved or suspended in water, at a high pressure (>4 atmospheres) for an extend period of time.
Electrodes made of nanostructured (or ultrafine) Li4Ti5O12 powders in both Li/Li4Ti5O12 test cells and asymmetric hybrid cells have shown excellent rate capabilities as shown by: Amatucci, Glenn G., Fadwa, Badway, Pasquier, Aurelien D., and Zheng, T., "An Asymmetric Hybrid Nonaqueous Energy Storage Cell", Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 148, A930 (2001). Asymnmetric hybrid cells made with ultrafine Li4Ti5O12 powders as anodes charged to 92% of their initial capacity at a rate of 10C Cells made with ultrafine Li4Ti5O12 as electrodes discharged to 90% of their initial capacity at a rate of 10C (wherein 1 C=1 hr charge or discharge, 10C=6 min. charge or discharge), while Li/Li4Ti5O12 cells with electrodes consisting of coarse Li4Ti5O12 discharged only to 30% at a rate of 10C. Furthermore, electrodes made of Li4Ti5O12 powders, which are prepared by the solid-state reaction between Li2CO3 and nano-TiO2, discharged only to 75% of their initial capacity at a rate of 10C. Smaller particles have shorter diffusion distances for intercalated Li-ions, resulting in a higher charge rate for intercalated anodes.
Ultrafine Li4Ti5O12 particles having diameters substantially less than a micron have been produced. The preferable particle size is in the range of 50-400 nm as shown in the TEM photomicrograph of FIG. 1. Ultrafine Li4Ti5O12 particles are also composed of nanocrystallites: the preferable nanocrystallite size is in the range of 20-100 nm. The average crystallite size of 30 nm was determined from the broadening of two X-ray peaks: 2θ=18.5° and 56.5° in the x-ray diffraction pattern of FIG. 2.
Ultrafine particles of Li4Ti5O12 are formed by a wet chemistry method in which an inorganic lithium salt is mixed with TiO2 nanopowders, which have an average primary particle size 100 nm or less, preferably 50 nm or less, and most preferably 25 nm or less. (Li4Ti5O12 particle formation does not depend on how the TiO2 nanopowders have been produced). The mixture of lithium salt and TiO2 nanopowders is refluxed in a high boiling point organic solvent in order to facilitate the diffusion of Li ions into nanoparticles. Since the precursor particles have very high surface/volume ratio, the majority of Li ions are likely to diffuse on the surface of particles. After completion of the reaction, the powder is heat treated in a controlled atmosphere at a relatively low temperature to form the desired phase. In contrast to solid state synthesis techniques, our novel process leads to an ultrafine particle size with precise control of the composition. The schematic of the process to produce nanostructured Li4Ti5O12 is shown in FIG. 3. The diffusion of Li ions into particles depends upon the three factors:
(1) The synthesis method utilizes an organic solvent, and thus prevents the formation of hydration layer around the dopant cation. A hydration layer increases the overall size of cations, and as a result, inhibits diffusion of cations in nanoparticles at low temperatures (≦200° C.) and at one atmospheric pressure. However, typically, in case of a hydrothermal process, inorganic salts of different constituents are dissolved in water, and the solution is heated at high temperatures and pressures to promote precipitation of hydrated oxide particles.
(2) Precursor oxide nanoparticles have high surface to volume ratio and diffusion distances are an order of magnitude shorter than that of micron-sized particles; consequently, Li-ions can diffuse in nanoparticles at significantly lower temperatures than in micron-sized particles.
(3) The diffusion of dopants in host oxides is also dependent on the structure of the oxide. If the oxide has an open structure and unoccupied substitutional and interstitial sites and can easily accept or lose oxygen at low temperatures (e.g., TiO2), it will be easier for dopant cations to diffuse in the host oxide without a destructive transformation. For example, we were able to diffuse Li+ in nanoparticles of anatase TiO2−x because anatase has unoccupied interstitial sites, and TiO2−x can accept oxygen at low enough temperatures at high partial pressures of oxygen by the following reaction:
Therefore, the kinetics of Li4Ti5O12 particle formation depends on the type of the solvent, solvent boiling point, which controls the refluxing temperature, and the primary particle size of TiO2 powders. To investigate these factors, several experiments were performed.
In a first example attempts to synthesize Li4Ti5O12 powders using water, LiOH.H2O and nano-TiO2 (average primary particle˜20-25 nm) were made. 0.425 g of LiOH.H2O was completely dissolved in 30 ml of water; subsequently, 1 g of nano-TiO2 was added in the solution. After homogenously mixing nanopowder with the solution, it was refluxed for approximately 15 hrs. On completing the refluxing, water was evaporated. Dried powders were heat treated at 750° C. for four hours in oxygen, but x-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the powders did not transform to the Li4Ti5O12 phase and contained a large proportion of unreacted TiO2 material, along with other unidentified impurity peaks, suggesting that powders need to be heat-treated at much higher temperature. In a second example, similar results were also obtained for powders, which were synthesized using water, Li2CO3 and nano-TiO2. Li2CO3 and nano-TiO2 were mixed in stochiometric ratio.
On the other hand, in a third example, powders prepared by using methanol, LiNO3 and nano-TiO2 did not contain any unreacted TiO2 powder, and the Li4Ti5O12 was the predominant phase. In this example LiNO3 (0.69 g) was dissolved in 20 ml of methanol. 1 g of nano-TiO2 (average primary particle˜20-25 nm) was mixed with this solution, and the TiO2/LiNO3/methanol mixture was refluxed for approximately 15 hrs. Excess amount of methanol was evaporated, and dried powder was heat-treated at 700° C. for 4 hrs in O2.
The boiling point of organic solvents is observed to have a significant effect on the kinetics of Li4Ti5O12 phase formation. Nano-TiO2 was reduced in a 95% Ar+5% H2 atmosphere at 300° C. for 2 hrs to form TiO2−x particles. LiyTiO(2+y/2−x)/LiNO3/TiO2−x mixture, prepared in a hexanol solution (BP=158° C.), transforms to lithium titanate phases at a much lower temperature than that prepared in methanol (BP=79° C.). The LiyTiO(2+y/2−x)/LiNO3/TiO2−x mixture prepared in a methanol solution and annealed at 650° C. for 4 hrs in O2 contains predominately rutile TiO2 phase and a smaller amount of anatase and lithium titanate phases; on the other hand, on heating the LiyTiO(2+y/−x)/LiNO3/TiO2−x mixture, prepared in a hexanol solution, at the same temperature and time, a large proportion of lithium titanate phases—Li4Ti5O12 and LiTiO2— were formed. Furthermore, the mixture prepared in a hexanol solution on heating did not exhibit anatase peaks in the X-ray diffraction pattern.
On decreasing the particle size from micrometer to a nanometer scale, the diffusion distance of Li-ions reduces by an order of magnitude; consequently, Li-ions can diffuse into nanoparticles at much lower temperatures than those of coarse particles. To investigate the effect of the TiO2 particle size on the reaction kinetics of Li4Ti5O12 phase formation, commercial coarse TiO2 powders (particle size—325 mesh size) were used to produce Li4Ti5O12 particles by using the processing steps described in example 6 discussed below. Everything in the procedure was kept same except nano-TiO2 powders were replaced with coarse TiO2 powders. Powder X-ray diffraction reveals that a majority of TiO2 has not been reacted, suggesting the importance of nanostructured TiO2 in the synthesis of ultrafine Li4Ti5O12 powders.
This Example illustrates a preferred embodiment for the preparation of nanostructured (or ultrafine) Li4Ti5O12 powders as follows:
First, 2.14 g of LiNO3 salt was added to 40 ml of hexanol, and the solution was stirred vigorously to dissolve the salt completely in hexanol in a single neck round-bottom flask. Next, 2.9 g of TiO2 nanopowder with an average primary particle size in the range of 20-25 nm was added into the LiNO3/hexanol solution. After homogenously mixing nanopowder with the solution, the mixed solution, while stirring, was refluxed at˜155° C. for 15 hrs. On completing the refluxing step, hexanol solvent was evaporated at an atmospheric pressure by heating the solution. The evaporated solvent was condensed in a flask. Powder in the flask was mixed with distilled water to completely remove any residual powder in the flask. Powder was dried on a hot plate to remove any residual water. Dried powder was heat-treated at 700° C. for 4 hrs in oxygen to produce the Li4Ti5O12 phase. XRD pattern of the powder, FIG. 2, exhibits clearly that predominant phase is the cubic spinel Li4Ti5O12. TEM micrographs of powders before the heat-treatment and after the heat-treatment are shown in FIGS. 4 and 1, respectively.
As is well known the quantities set forth herein are for example only, such quantities can be scaled and adjusted in accordance with the teachings of this invention. The invention has been described with respect to preferred embodiments. However, as those skilled in the art will recognize, modifications and variations in the specific details which have been described and illustrated may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

The perfect choice for a longer vacation.
We stayed at 'Waterview' over Christmas and New Year 2012/3 during a 2 month visit to New Zealand from the U.K., visiting our son in Auckland. This was a very lucky find for us as a home from home, full of charm and character, in a peaceful tree lined road within 10 minutes walking distance of Devonport town centre, the ferry port over to the City, and Stanley Bay where we swam every morning.10 minutes in the car easily extends the choice of beaches to include Cheltenham Beach and Takapuna.The house had everything we could wish for and and the owners were so friendly and helpful.We loved it there so much that after our travels in the South Island we came back to 'Waterview' for another 10 days before very reluctantly flying home.We hope to return to New Zealand before too long, and would definately plan to book 'Waterview' again.
Five Stars
Really had a great time at Allegro! Friendly welcome and easy access together with very comfortable stay is a winning combination. The pool was sparkling clean and the birds were singing in the bush. Loved the home office and the luxurious kitchen - will come again next year.
Hawkesbury Homestead Vacation
During our recent New Zealand vacation, three couples, all from the US, stayed at the Hawkesbury Homestead for a few days. Hawkesbury is an old farmhouse that has been updated and is located among vineyards in the Marlborough wine region of New Zealand. The 3 bedroom, 3-1/2 baths were more than adequate for the 6 of us, and the kitchen and dining area are quite spacious. We enjoyed the large sitting area also. Hawkesbury comes with a very good WiFi system at no extra cost, and there is also a desktop computer that is hardwired with broadband, and internet speed was excellent. The house was clean, well stocked with cooking utensils, and the kitchen pantry contained adequate supplies of spices, salt, pepper, etc. There is a small supermarket less than 5 minutes away in Renwick, and a larger supermarket and many other amenities in Blenheim, approximately 10 km away. There was a Gala apple tree loaded with apples in the back yard for our enjoyment, and we picked several to take with us upon our departure for the North Island. There was also a grapefruit tree and lots of walnuts for our use. The owners met us upon our arrival with a delicious cheese board and their private label Sauvignon Blanc, and gave us a good tour of the house. The Hawkesbury and First Landing Sauvignon Blanc that they provided (rent for a week and you get 6 bottles) was as good if not better than any other Sauvignon Blanc that we found. The location is wonderful. There is one winery within easy walking distance, and numerous wineries, some with outstanding restaurants (the restaurants at Brancott and Rock Ferry were particularly good), within a few minutes by car or bicycle (four bicycles are available at Hawkesbury). The Marlborough area reminded us of the Napa Valley in the US with the outstanding wineries and beautiful vineyards. Hawkesbury's location is convenient for day trips to nearby attractions such as Picton, Queen Charlotte Trace, Nelson, and others. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hawkesbury and recommend it to anyone planning a New Zealand vacation. If we are fortunate enough to vacation again in New Zealand, we will certainly include a few days at Hawkesbury in our plans.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Just Observing

Comments (0)
from the Hockey News,
• Sharks winger Mike Grier during a second intermission interview with TSN: "We've got to get back to playing hockey."
Glad he cleared up his contractual obligations.
• At this point in the playoffs, whenever I hear a broadcaster use the words "regulation time" during a one-goal game in the late stages of the third period, I wish a small pox (thought not smallpox) on him.
• And, right on schedule, Robert Lang scores with 34 seconds left. Damn you, Chris Cuthbert!
more observations from both games last night…
