ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) _ Dirt, grass, a rug, none of that seems relative to Einstein's racing ability.
Running for the first time on a synthetic surface, the Brazilian-bred whiz turned in a virtually picture-perfect performance to win Saturday's $1 million Santa Anita Handicap.
"He's a good horse on the turf. He's a good horse on the dirt. He's a good horse on anything," jockey Julien Leparoux said. "We didn't really know about this track, but we were pretty sure he was going to handle it.
"And he did."
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 6, 2009) – After competing in five successive graded stakes races and finishing second three times, Gotta Have Her found the climate in Friday's $61,200 Faraway Eyes Purse to be ideal while registering a 1 ½ -length victory in the 6 ½-furlong event for fillies and mares over Santa Anita's hillside turf course.
As the 13-10 favorite in a field of eight, Gotta Have Her tracked the early leaders before jockey Tyler Baze found an opening between horses in midstretch, and the 5-year-old mare steadily drew away from her rivals while running the distance in 1:13.35.
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 5, 2009) – Hot n' Dusty, a daughter of Unusual Heat, stormed home on the extreme outside to nip another Unusual Heat offspring, My Maloof Rocker, in a dramatic four-horse photo finish Thursday that decided the outcome of Santa Anita's $53,200 allowance feature for California-bred or sired fillies and mares at one mile on turf.
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 5, 2009)—With longshots connecting on both Pro-Ride synthetic and grass, Santa Anita experienced its 21st Pick Six carryover from 51 days of racing on Thursday, as $78,877 will roll into Friday's popular exotic wager. It is expected Friday's total Pick Six pool could reach $500,000.
Thursday's Pick Six started with race three at 1 1/16 miles on Pro-Ride and it was taken by Andwhatelse, with veteran Alex Solis aboard. Owned by Michael Bello, the 3-year-old Kentucky-bred colt by Even the Score paid $22.00 to win. He's trained by Jeff Mullins.
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 5, 2009) – California-bred Saucey Evening, a 1 ½-length loser to sophomore superstar Stardom Bound when third in last month's Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes, heads a cast of ten 3-year-old fillies set for Sunday's $70,000 China Doll Stakes at one mile over Santa Anita's turf course.
Augustin Stable's daughter of More Than Ready will be rejoined by Garrett Gomez, the country's leading rider in purse earnings, when seeking her fourth victory in eight career starts for trainer H. Graham Motion. She carries 119 pounds.
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 4, 2009)—Although the legendary musical duo of Hall & Oates weren't on hand to enjoy it, today's Sara Smile Purse was taken in impressive fashion by favored Unworldly Heat, a 4-year-old California-bred filly by Unusual Heat who was ridden by Rafael Bejarano and is owned coincidentally, by Hitbound Stable.
The Sara Smile, a first-condition allowance race for California-bred fillies and mares aged four years and up, was contested at six furlongs in a driving rain on Santa Anita's Pro Ride synthetic main track.
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 4, 2009) – While Saturday's Grade I, $300,000 Santa Anita Oaks seems a solitary audition for dynamic 3-year-old filly Stardom Bound's projected date with the boys in next month's Santa Anita Derby, the 72nd running of the $1-million Santa Anita Handicap is plainly bursting with diversity and depth.
ARCADIA, Calif. (March 1, 2009) – British-bred 3-year-old Battle of Hastings, who won his last two starts in England prior to a lackluster United States debut, redeemed himself in Santa Anita's Grade III, $100,000 Baldwin Stakes on Sunday when closing strongly to capture the 6 1/2-furlong grass sprint by 1 ¼ lengths over favored Flashmans Papers.
ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 27, 2009) – Surviving a stewards' inquiry and the fate of a nose bob at the wire, Sleep Tight narrowly gained her third straight victory Friday when capturing Santa Anita's $51,168 Funallover Purse for fillies and mares while running 6 ½ furlongs in 1:16.10.
ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 26, 2009) – A 7-1 shot owned by Jane and Burt Bacharach, You Got Me Rocking took command at once and gradually widened to a 4 ¼-length upset Thursday in Santa Anita's $56,800 Yosemite Purse as 3-5 favorite Midships finished off the board in the mile-and-one-eighth turf competition.

Students at Spring Woods High School will notice a mangled Mazda Miata at the main entrance to the campus this morning. It's what's left of a head-on collision that claimed the life of the driver, and caused by a pick-up driver who had been drinking.
"Its very overwhelming for these kids to see all these pictures, then we're gonna show the "Jackie" video, the young girl that, two of her friends were killed. We also have a victim's mother, who's son was killed at Westheimerξand Shepherd."
Meet Carol Levin:
"My youngest son Todd Levin and his soon to be fianc© were killed by a drunk driver, speeding, going about 84-miles an hour. Todd was killed instantly, Rae Lynn was killed on the way to the hospital. Todd was 26-years old and Rae Lynn was 29."
She says she will speak this morning to keep the memory of her son and his fianc© alive.
"We're trying to make a difference and show people that this just can't happen."
Also speaking this morning is Houston Police Officer Paul LaSalle with the Dept's DWI Task Force. He says teen drivers represent about 7-percent of drivers nationwide, but they make up about 15 percent of fatalities on the road.
"We recognize the fact that judgment is one of the deficits to a younger driver. Now we're talking about adding alcohol into the equation, and everything just grows exponentially."
He will detail both the legal consequences of being arrested for a DUI as well as what to expect during a "no refusal" blood draw, booking and overnight stay in jail.
"I can't tell you how many times I've had somebody in my back seat that said...I JUST NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE HERE. Well, that's the problem, is they never thought about being there. We want them to think abut that before they have something to drink and get in an automobile, instead of after they've been drinking."
Four additional events will be held this week at three other high schools and the University of Houston. Once again, Bridget Anderson with MADD.
"We're hoping to make an impression as much as we possibly can, of what could happen to them. We're also gonna hand zip lock bags out to each one, and they're gonna be asked to put their wallet and personal belongings in it, and at the end when they stand up with these bags I'm going to say to them "this is the last thing your parents will ever receive from you."
More information can be found at www.madd.org/takethewheel or by calling 1-800-GET-MADD.

This route has great, clean stone on a steep face. Moderate climbing past the first few bolts leads to the difficult climbing in the middle to upper section of the climb with a few rests from from stances left of the bolt line or when stemming. After pulling past the last bolt, one final difficulty is encountered, clipping the anchor. The anchor is just out of reach from the good feet and one or two more moves have to be done to clip the chains. Some may not appreciate the bolt being well below their feet for these moves, but the fall is clean.
Borat is the furthest right route on the Funny Face, just right of a prominent tree next to the cliff, from which Rickles (5.7) starts on the left side. Look for the gray hangers.
8 bolts and anchor.

Yeah, we know, we forgot about this one too. Waaaaay back in 2012 — yep, two years ago — it was announced that Garrett Hedlund, Amy Adams, Richard Jenkins, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Hudson and Jessica Brown-Findlay were making a movie called "Lullaby." Cool story bro, and like everyone else, it was wiped from our memory. Well the thing was filmed and usually, if a movie starring this kind of ensemble takes forever to arrive, and once it does, its in the hands of a tiny indie distributor, the results probably aren't so hot. And now you can judge for yourself, as the first trailer is here.
Written and directed by Andrew Levitas, a producer/actor/artist making his debut behind the camera, the story follows a young man who has to bring the family together and deal with some pretty heavy issues, when his ill father asks to be taken off life support. Heavy stuff. But it's all given the indie, strummy, dramedy treatment here, with a vibe that feels, if not artificial, then a bit contrived. Even the usually reliable Adams doesn't come off looking too good here, thought perhaps the ensemble works better than this promo suggest.
The film will be arriving in theatres on June 13th. Watch below.
Lo | June 9, 2014 5:54 PM
Garrett Hedlund is always fantastic and charismatic and I very much look forward not only to his acting but his singing in this. It's a very good cast, and it looks to me like they balance the sad with some lighthearted moments. I know this will get to me, as my own father passed away from cancer, as I sat at his side in a nursing home. But a good sentimental 'cry' type movie is good for me to let it out sometimes.
emma | June 8, 2014 1:30 AM
Variety sez Garrett Hedlund is a charismatic lead in this. I can't wait to see it.
CARY | May 3, 2014 1:14 AM
I love Jenkins but this looks like a bad lifetime movie.
Marg | May 2, 2014 9:22 PM
I can't wait too see this!!!! Looks like some Incredible acting in this. it hits home for everyone who has had to deal with anything to do with cancer.
Jolly | May 2, 2014 2:58 PM
Great cast and Hedlund seems excellent in it but the director? Who is him? Still looking forward to it.
Zoe | May 2, 2014 1:05 PM
I agree it looks a bitâ¦.self-indulgent. Not by the actors but by the writer/director. Hedlund intensity level is so much higher than the other actors' which is distracting. And I cannot with the girl with cancer and the concert and prom thing? Really? Was that necessary? Still, I will watch it because I like most of the cast and it might make for a decent cry. At least the main plot (not the extra kid-with-cancer plot).

On tap at the Modern Times brewery. This is the coffee stout with the added flavors as noted. Smooth, silky mouthfeel. Black color in the tall tulip with a brief foamy cap. Just a slight prickle of carbonation before it dissipates altogether.
Warm and totally roasted flavors. Lots of dark and slightly charred malt. Some coffee notes but it's not overly java-ed up. Slight bitter edge but not what you'd call hoppy. After it warms, the coffee aroma is quite powerful. The vanilla is quite pleasant once it makes its appearance. A drinkable and warm, richly flavored dark brew with a pleasant restrained spicy flavor.

NEW YORK – A small plane made an emergency landing on a New York City Highway late Saturday afternoon.
A driver on the major Deegan Expressway shot a cell phone video as he drove past the plane.
Police say the Piper Aircraft set down on the northbound lanes of the Expressway.
The male pilot and two female passengers were taken to the hospital, but police said they didn't appear to be badly injured.
The FAA said the landing gear appears to have collapsed, but the plane had only minor damage.
No vehicles on the highway were hit.

Bushcraft Courses
Category: 2-day
Our exciting short bushcraft courses have been designed for people whose time is limited, those seeking more specialist training, or the novice who wants a taste of bushcraft and the possibilities that Woodlore offers.
Our short courses are surprisingly in-depth and cover a wide range of subjects. Being part of the Woodlore community and sharing our campfire is a perfect way to start your journey or make the first steps into a deeper understanding of the more specialist branches of Bushcraft.
Students attending these short bushcraft courses will come away with the satisfaction of new skills learned and practiced and often surprise themselves with their own achievements! They are an excellent way to experience the complimentary skills of bushcraft as taught by Woodlore.
It is our firm belief that Wilderness Bushcraft has something of value to give to everyone. Hopefully this is reflected in our programme of bushcraft courses and educational Wilderness Bushcraft Survival courses that have evolved over the thirty years we have been operating.
At Woodlore, bushcraft course development is a never-ending process as we endeavour to bring the subject to a wider range of students. The skills and knowledge gained through Ray Mears bushcraft is extended and enhanced by tapping into the wilderness survival skills developed by many indigenous peoples and other experts in the bushcraft survival course field, including Lars Fält, Brian Desmond and many others.

LAWTON, Okla._A Lawton man took police on a pursuit Monday night that ended with the driver wrecking his vehicle and fleeing the scene.
Detectives attempted to stop a vehicle that was speeding on Rogers Lane, but the vehicle sped up and eventually lost the detectives. They found the vehicle shortly after, wrecked at Third Street and Bell Avenue but the driver, later identified as Craig Jefferson, had fled. They were able to find the address of the driver and began to watch the house. When a vehicle left, they noticed he was a passenger in the vehicle.
Jefferson was arrested for an outstanding warrant, eluding a police officer, speeding, and for leaving the scene of an accident.

Did the front page mobile skin get changed recently? Suddenly, I have to scroll news headings left and right to see the whole thing, where yesterday they would wrap.
Please put it back, this is a crappy change and looks awful, even on my large screen Note 2.

Mobile headlines did not wrap, you had to scroll with your finger to see the complete headline. This change was done months and months ago (http://www.neowin.ne...t__p__594952583).
Also if its broken or rendering differently than it was yesterday/last week. Post a screenshot (picture of the device if you have to).
You folks do know that your devices have orientation sensors in them right? Meaning you could just turn your device to landscape and still be able to see the whole head line minus the scrolling.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 08:23
Strangely enough a few days ago (without any changes on my end) the headlines stopped wrapping and started scrolling.
I must be missing something, this is how the mobile site has been for the past few months, judging from the screenshot its rendering perfectly.

She was actually arrested for a probation violation warrant and not for shoveling the driveway. This is of course much better than her usual MO of breaking into houses and cleaning them and then leaving a bill for $75 for her services. Woman is a real fruitcake but many people apparently either paid her the $75 or just did not report the B&E because she did a good job cleaning their home!
The instant you cross the border into TJ and stop at a light, window-cleaning fairies come out of nowhere and spray down your windshield. You have to frantically wave them off before they spray. If you don't, they will expect money 1/2 way through the job or just walk away leaving you a half-dirty windshield. Or half-clean. Depending on your attitude toward life.

Tight spot
The Nationals have criticised the federal government for moving questions over tertiary and vocational education to the Senate economics committee. The Coalition's regional education spokeswoman, Fiona Nash, said this meant only 1¾ hours would be allowed for questions on tertiary and vocational education because of the economics committee's already large agenda, but more than four hours had been allocated by the Senate education, employment and workplace committee.

Joining the dots
Australia is ranked third globally for international higher education student provision, according to the Australian Council for Educational Research. ACER's latest Joining the Dots research showed Australia's net flow of international students – the ratio of incoming foreign students to outgoing domestic students, as a percentage of all tertiary students – is one of the highest in the world, relative to the size of the sector. Australia has more than 250,000 students, behind Britain with 370,000 and the United States with 660,000. Australia's international student market is heavily reliant on Asia-Pacific, which account for nearly 80 per cent of the cohort. The largest number of students originate from China (510,314), India (195,107), and South Korea (125,165). Rachel Lebihan
Canberra coup
Research income has tripled at the University of Canberra, which signed new contracts worth $21.2 million in 2011, compared to $7.2 million in 2010. It's the university's best performance to date. Deputy vice-chancellor (research) Frances Shannon said the university appointed many new researchers and had received government research and evaluation contracts, as well as national grants in environmental science, education and health.

Japan copies US model
The University of Tokyo plans to align its academic calendar with the United States, where the largest intake of students occurs in September. Japanese school students currently finish in March and a change to autumn enrolments would leave them with a six-month gap between the end of high school and the start of university. Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has backed the plan, which he said aligns with the nation's plans to internationalise its universities and produce globally aware citizens.

SAN FRANCISCO — Surveillance camera footage gives a "partial view" of an incident in which a BART police officer shot a knife-wielding man in San Francisco, but does not show his actions at the moment the shots were fired, BART officials said Tuesday.
"It will be a strong tool in the investigation," said BART police Deputy Chief Daniel Hartwig, who said he had not seen the footage himself and could not discuss it in detail.

11. A cell as claimed in claim 10, wherein the or each depression in the cell floor has a depth of 30 to 100 mm and a cross-section at its outer end of at least twice its depth.
This invention relates to aluminium reduction cells, and particularly to the problem of cathode current collection therein. These cells are of the kind in which the electrolyte is molten cryolite Na3 AlF6 containing dissolved alumina Al2 O3, and electrolysis is performed between an anode suspended in the electrolyte and a cathode at the floor of the cell. In conventional cells, the floor is of carbon in which are embedded steel members connected to the external electricity supply. The carbon potlining transmits the electric current to the steel connecting members; but carbon is a rather poor electrical conductor, with the result that the cell voltage is higher than would be the case if a better cathode current collector were used.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,093,570 (Dewey) and British 2065174 (Odek) both show cathodes of titanium diboride TiB2 mounted in aluminium slabs for connection to the external electricity supply. TiB2 is a better electrical conductor than carbon; but it is expensive and difficult to form, and has low mechanical strength and a coefficient of thermal expansion very much greater than that of carbon or alumina or other potlining material. For these reasons, solid TiB2 cathodes have not achieved any significant commercial success.
It would be convenient and cheap to use cathode current collectors of aluminium metal. The fact that aluminium melts (660� C.) far below the normal cell operating temperatures (950�-980� C.) means that the high-temperature end of such collectors would be fluid, but that does not in principle make them unsuitable. In practice however, it is found that thermal convection and magnetic effects cause efficient stirring of the molten metal and downward movement of the liquid-solid boundary, to the extent that such collectors cannot be used unless special precautions are taken.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,607,685 (Johnson) there are described various designs of cathode current collector which are intended to overcome these difficulties. One design comprises an outer refractory tube containing a number of parallel refractory rods or fibres surrounded by molten aluminium; the rods or fibres, which are intended to restrain molten metal circulation, may be made of or coated with a material which is wet by aluminium metal. Another design uses aluminium alloys that have higher melting points and higher viscosities than commercial primary aluminium. Yet another design uses conductor assemblies each comprising a refractory tube and an aluminium core conductor, the high-temperature end of each being positioned at the bottom of a bowl-shaped depression in the cell potlining.
The cell electrolyte is replenished at intervals with alumina. For that purpose the frozen crust is broken at intervals and in the course of such crustbreaking, relatively large lumps of frozen crust, containing a high proportion of alumina, frequently fall into the bath. Because such lumps are of a density close to or even exceeding the density of the product metal they may penetrate the molten metal cathode layer. As the lumps of crust melt they form a sludge layer in the bottom of the cell beneath the molten metal. The sludge is believed to form discontinuous deposits on the cell floor, since the presence of sludge in a conventional cell leads to only a small increase in the cell voltage, although the electrical resistance of the sludge is quite high in relation to the electrical resistance of molten aluminium. It is therefore believed that the passage of the cathode current to the cathodic floor is through molten metal in direct contact with such floor.
In the practical operation of a standard electrolytic reduction cell for the production of aluminium it is found that the sludge content of the cell remains substantially constant and it is believed that the solid alumina in the sludge slowly dissolves in the electrolyte and migrates back to the electrolyte via the surface of the frozen electrolyte, which is present at the cell walls in conventional reduction cells, since the liquid components of the sludge can wet the surface of the frozen electrolyte. As already indicated the presence of sludge in conventional electrolytic reduction cells does not lead to severe operational problems.
However, in some circumstances sludge can cause operational problems. European patent specifications 68782 and 69502 are concerned with two such problems. No. 68782 provides a product metal tapping filter of a material that is wettable by the molten metal in preference to the electrolyte having apertures sized to permit flow of molten metal but to retain molten electrolyte and sludge. No. 69502 provides on the cell floor a monolayer of shapes of a material that is wettable by the molten metal in preference to the electrolyte, apertures in or between the shapes being sized to prevent entry of electrolyte or sludge.
The present invention is concerned with another such problem. When depressions are provided in the potlining, it has been realised that sludge is likely to collect in them. If cathode current collectors are sited at the bottoms of the depressions, it is likely that the collected sludge will rapidly increase the cell resistance. It is an object of the invention to overcome this problem.
The present invention provides an aluminium reduction cell including a potlining and embedded therein at least one cathode current collector, the floor of the cell having at least one depression with one end of the cathode current collector positioned therein, the other end of the collector being connected to the external electricity supply, wherein the or each depression is filled with metal-wettable bodies with interstices adapted, when the cell is in operation, to be filled with molten aluminium and of a size to prevent entry of electrolyte or sludge.
The cathode current collector may include, at or near the end positioned in the depression, a regular array or network of solid aluminium-wettable material and an interposed continuous network of at least partly fluid aluminium-containing metal.
Reference is directed to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
FIG. 1 is a vertical section through part of an aluminium reduction cell including a cathode current collector;
FIG. 2 is a section on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
each of FIGS. 3 and 4 are vertical sections similar to FIG. 1 but showing different designs of cathode current collector;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a cell floor showing an arrangement of elongated depressions;
FIG. 6 is a vertical section through the cell floor including a depression and the top end of a cathode current collector; and
FIGS. 7 and 9 are side views, and FIGS. 8 and 10 respectively are end views, of two different forms of cathode current collector.
Referring to FIG. 1, an aluminium reduction cell comprises an anode 10, molten cryolite electrolyte 12, a layer of molten aluminium metal 14 constituting the cathode, and cell potlining 16, the whole resting on a thick slab 18 of aluminium metal. The metal pad 14 is shown stabilised by a monolayer of solid metal-wettable spheres 20, e.g. formed or coated with TiB2.
A depression 22 formed in the cell potlining is filled with the solid spheres. The top end A of a cathode current collector is positioned at the bottom of this depression and consists of a solid block or cap 24 of an electrically conducting material resistant to attack by molten aluminium, for example TiB2.
The next lower section B of the collector includes a large diameter refractory tube 26 containing an array of parallel small diameter tubes 28, the space 30 within and between the tubes being filled with aluminium-containing metal. Towards the top end of this section the metal will, by virtue of the high operating temperature of the cell, be at least partly fluid. Towards the lower end of the section however, the metal should be solid.
The next lower section C of the collector is a bar 32 of aluminium metal which is electrically connected at its upper end to section B and at its lower end to the aluminium slab 18 which constitutes the floor of the cell.
In FIG. 3, like parts are numbered as in FIG. 1. The upper section of a collector bar consists of a series of superimposed plates 34 formed of a TiB2 /Al composite material, within a tube 36 of Al2 O3. The individual plates can be made by hot pressing. The stack of discs can be cast within the Al2 O3 tube in aluminium metal to provide the electrical connection.
In FIG. 4, like parts are numbered as in FIGS. 1 and 3. The cell is shown as having a molten metal pad 14 stabilised with metal-wetted packing 20, but it should be understood that the molten metal pad does not need to be stabilised. The depression 22 is filled with metal-wetted packing 20 with molten metal in the interstices, and the interstices should be of such a size that electrolyte sludge is prevented from entering.
The top end of the cathode current collector is positioned at the bottom of the depression and consists of a solid block or cap 24 of titanium diboride. The next lower section of the collector is a bar 38 of TiB2 or a TiB2 /Al composite which extends between the 950� C. and 500� C. isotherms. The exterior of the bar is painted with a carbonaceous compound to render it non-wetted by metal and to prevent penetration of molten metal down the collector bar.
The lower end of the bar 38 is welded at 40 to a solid aluminium metal rod 32. The cell is shown as having a steel shell 42, and the rod 32 extends through the shell to an aluminium busbar 44 via an air seal 43 of an alumina castable compound or refractory fibre rope. The rod 32 and the busbar 44 are sized to withdraw sufficient heat from the collector structure to maintain the joint 40 at 500� C. The potlining is shown in two layers, an inner layer 16 of tabular alumina aggregate and an outer layer 17 of metallurgical grade alumina powder.
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic plan view of an aluminium reduction cell floor 46 surrounded by a cell wall 48. Two rows of anodes (not shown) overlie the floor, casting anode shadows represented by the rectangles 50. The floor has two rows of nine cathode current collectors 52, the rows extending below the anode shadows. Each collector is positioned at the bottom of a depression 54 which is not circular but rather elliptical. It is known that the horizontal component of the magnetic field in a cell of the design follows a generally elliptical path, and the major axes of the elliptical depressions 54 are arranged at right angles to this, for reasons to be discussed below.
FIG. 6 is a vertical section through part of an aluminium reduction cell including part of an anode 56, an electrolyte bath 58, a molten metal pad 60, a cell floor 62 and a cathode current collector 64. A circular depression in the cell floor is defined by sloping walls 66 which meet the top surface of the cell floor at 68 and the collector at 70. Lines 72 with arrows show the lines of flow of electric current from the anode to the cathode current collector. The depression has a depth A and a diameter C. The dimension B represents the spread of electric current at the level of the cell floor if the depression does not constrict the current (i.e. if C is equal to or greater than B). Preferred values of the dimensions A and C are discussed below. In this figure, the metal-wettable bodies have been omitted in order to show the lines of flow of electric current more clearly.
FIGS. 7 and 8 are respectively side and end views of a cathode current collector which comprises a row of three rectangular blocks 74 of ceramic material joined at their lower ends to a single rectangular slab 76 of aluminium metal. The collector is built into the floor 78 of a cell having an elongated depression 80 in its surface 82 which depression is filled with metal-wettable bodies 84. The upper ends of the three blocks 74 stand proud of the floor of the depression but below the surface 82 of the cell floor, and are covered by at least one layer of the bodies 84.
FIGS. 9 and 10 are similar. Three rectangular blocks 74 of ceramic material are joined at their lower ends to a section 86 which tapers in a downward direction and is joined at its lower end to an aluminium bar 88 of circular cross-section. The section 86 is formed of an array or network of solid aluminium-wettable material and an interposed continuous network of at least partly fluid aluminium-containing metal.
Numerous changes are possible in the designs illustrated, as described below.
In the aluminium reduction cells of this invention, the nature of the anode and the electrolyte and the cathode are not critical and may be as in conventional cells. In particular, the cathode may be constituted by a pool of molten metal overlying the floor of the cell. It is known that magnetohydrodynamic disturbances can cause swirling of metal and wave formation, and that this can be damped down by means of baffles or solid objects in the metal pool. Alternatively, the cathode can be raised above the level of the molten metal/electrolyte interface. Alternatively, the cell can be operated in a drained configuration with a solid cathode, the molten metal as it is formed being caused to flow to a trough for tapping.
It is an advantage of the cathode current collectors of this invention that they permit the use of electrically non-conducting cell lining materials such as alumina. Thus, most of the cell cavity can be filled with powdered Al2 O3, packed as well as possible, at least one layer of dense, tabular Al2 O3 aggregate or bricks being provided on the top surface. With conventional carbon cell linings it may also be advantageous to use the cathode current collectors of this invention, rather than rely on the rather poor electrical conductivity of carbon.
The top end of the current collector is situated in a depression in the potlining. This has two advantages; the collector is protected from physical shock; and the length (and hence cost) of that portion of the collector which has to operate at temperatures above 500� C. is reduced. The depression may be of circular shape. Or the depression may be elongate in a direction at right angles to the magnetic field in the molten metal, so as to form a trough. Each trough may have one or several current collectors within it. Since the horizontal component of the magnetic field in a commercial cell follows a generally elliptical path in the molten metal round a vertical axis through the centre of the cell, one or more troughs may extend in the potlining in a generally radial direction from that vertical axis. The troughs may be curved so as to be perpendicular to the horizontal magnetic field; and approximately equally spaced, which implies troughs of different lengths with some terminating earlier than others as they converge from the side wall towards the vertical axis of the cell.
Electric current flows vertically down from the anode to the cathode surface, and then takes the shortest route towards a nearest trough. If the troughs are arranged with their long axis perpendicular to the horizontal component of the magnetic field, the current path is then approximately parallel to the magnetic field lines. Since the magnitude of the magnetic force is proportional to the cross product between the current and magnetic field vectors, this force is minimized by such current collector arrangement. To ensure good electrical contact between the cathode and the cathode current collector, the troughs should be filled with molten aluminium. With a cell operated in the drained configuration, the troughs may serve the additional purpose of collecting product metal for tapping.
Alternatively, the depressions may be of elliptical shape each containing a single cathode current collector, along the lines shown in FIG. 5. Elliptical-shaped depressions cannot, of course, be used to collect product metal for tapping; but they have a different advantage over longer troughs containing several collectors. Depressions filled with metal-wettable bodies are expensive compared to ordinary cell lining and it is desired to minimise the volumes of the depressions. A set of elliptical depressions is, in aggregate, smaller than an array of troughs but is nevertheless quite effective to reduce magnetic forces in the cell.
The collector bars may be distributed uniformly under the anode shadow or may be offset somewhat to counteract any magnetic field imbalance. The number of collector bars depends on the current loading of each. This will usually be in the range 1-10 KA, preferably 3-6 KA, per collector. The optimum number of collector bars depends on magnetic effects, economics, and, in the case of a retrofit, the existing busbar layout. Thus the minimum current carried is limited by economics, i.e. cost of multiplicity of small busbars, and their mechanical integrity. The maximum current carried is limited by local magnetohydrodynamic effects.
For example, a 175 KA cell may have two rows of 18 collector bars each carrying 4.9 KA, in trenches aligned as shown in FIG. 5. For 22m2 of total anode area, there would be 0.6m2 per collector bar. This assumes an anode current density of 0.8 KA/m2.
Insofar as the presence of bottom entry collectors causes humps in the metal surface due to magnetic effects, it may be desirable to locate the collectors in such a way that the humps in the metal lie beneath the gaps between the anodes of a prebake cell. Such humps would then tend to make anode faces convex rather than concave in the middle, thereby promoting gas release rather than gas entrapment.
In order to minimise humping of the molten metal surface due to magnetic effects, it may be desirable to keep down the horizontal current density in open metal above a depression. This may be achieved by careful design of the depression. As shown in FIG. 6, the depth A of the depression should be sufficiently large for the spread of electric current at the level of the cell floor (as indicated by the dimension B) to bring the horizontal current density down to a safe level of not more than about 105 A/m2, preferably not more than 3�104 A/m2. On the other hand the depth A should be no more than is necessary to achieve this object. Generally, A will be less than 200 mm, preferably from 30 mm to 100 mm.
Ideally, the diameter C of the depression should be not less than B, but this may not be practicable in view of the large number of depressions that may be needed. It is unlikely that depressions with diameters greater than about 1m would be useful. Generally, the ratio of C:A will be at least 2, preferably from 4 to 8. When the depression is not circular, and has not one diameter but a range of cross-sections measurable in various directions, the ratio of minimum cross-section to depth will be, as for circular depressions, generally at least 2 and preferably from 4 to 8.
Improved designs are possible if the top end of the collector 64 projects above the bottom 70 of the depression. This forces the current to enter the top of the collector radially as well as axially, and minimises interaction with the magnetic field created by the collector itself. At least one layer of metal-wettable shapes should overlie the top of the collector; this consideration determines the maximum height of the projecting portion.
Two designs of cathode current collector in which the top end 74 of the collector projects into the depression 80 in the cell floor 82 are shown in FIGS. 7 to 10. These figures also illustrate the concept that the collector can be elongated in cross-section, either at its upper end or over its entire length. In fact the cross-sectional shape of the collector is not critical and may be determined by what is easiest and cheapest to manufacture.
By way of example, we can report calculations on the horizontal current densities associated with four different circular depression geometries (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv); results for the two depressions of infinite diameter are given for comparison.

The depressions or troughs are filled with solid bodies, the molten metal occupying the interstices between them. The solid bodies must be of a material which is more dense than, and is not attacked by, molten metal and electrolyte under cell operating conditions. They may be uniform or non-uniform in size and regularly or irregularly shaped. The solid bodies serve the dual purpose of stopping the depressions from caving in before or during start-up, and of damping down metal flow during operation.
Since the solid bodies are made of, or coated with, a material such as TiB2 which is preferentially wetted by metal in the presence of electrolyte, they serve an additional function. In commercial operation, some alumina inevitably falls into the molten metal pad and forms a sludge on the floor of the cell. As sludge ages in the cell it recrystallises, growing alumina crystals. This reduces the interstitial volume available for electrolyte within the sludge, and the liquid electrolyte is expelled on to the surface of the sludge. This sludge is gradually dissipated and does not normally cause a problem. But if sludge or electrolyte associated with it were to gather in the depressions or trenches here described, it might interfere with the electrical connection between the molten metal in the depression or trench and the cathode current collector at the bottom. Metal-wettable solid bodies of suitable size can operate by surface tension effects, as described in our European Patent Specification 68782, to prevent the entry of electrolyte or sludge into the depressions, thus completely overcoming the problem.
The minimum cross-sectional dimension of the interstices is an important factor in determining whether electrolyte or sludge can enter the interstices or not. Obviously the interstices in between shapes can be of very complex configuration in which case precise calculations are impossible. Nonetheless, it is usually possible to make some estimate of the acceptable size of shapes by approximating the most constricted portion of the interstices by a cylinder of diameter w. Permissible values for w can be determined from the formula ##EQU1## where γ is the interfacial tension at the metal/electrolyte interface, approximately 550 dyne/cm.
Δσ is the density difference between Al and sludge, approximately 0.7g/cm3
g is the acceleration due to gravity, 980 cm/s2
h is the maximum depth of the sludge layer
For a typical value of h=5cm ##EQU2##
In the case where the metal-wettable bodies are balls, diameters of from 0.5cm to 3cm are preferred. Calculation shows that the diameter of spheres in a packed layer having an interstice "diameter" of 0.6cm is about 4cm and this represents an upper limit to what would be acceptable if sludge layers as thick as 5cm are anticipated. The lower size limit is determined by the possibility of entrainment of the bodies by the MHD driven metal circulation.
Balls are one possible shape. Other shapes however having somewhat different dimensional ranges can be used to obtain the same interstitial spacings, e.g. the shapes can be elongated and positioned vertically.
The top end of the cathode current collector (section A in FIG. 1) may be constituted by a solid block or cap of an electrically conducting refractory material resistant to attack by molten aluminium. One suitable material is TiB2 ; another is a TiB2 /Al composite containing a sufficiently low proportion of Al to remain solid under the prevailing conditions.
The structure of the upper (hot) end of the cathode current collector forms the subect of copending U.S. Pat. Application No. of E. W. Dewing et al. 675,732 filed November 28, 1984.
The lower end of the collector is a solid conductor, generally a metal bar which may be of copper or steel but is preferably of aluminium. The top (hot) end of this bar may be connected to the bottom (cool) end of the section which includes a regular array or network of solid aluminium-wettable material. When the section is formed by casting aluminium round the solid material, it may be convenient to cast at the same time a unitary aluminium bar, which can then serve as the lower end of the collector. Alternatively, the two sections can be connected by welding.
In a preferred embodiment, the metal bar is secured at its lower end to a slab of aluminium of sufficient thickness to support the cell.
This slab forms the base of the cell, and may have fins for air cooling or other means for forced cooling to control the cell temperature. The slab acts as a bus bar and is electrically connected to the anode of the next cell in series. When the floor of the cell is of aluminium, the outer walls may be of aluminium or steel. Alternatively, the whole shell of the cell may be of steel, and the lower end of the current collector may be bolted to the shell or may extend through the shell for connection to the bus bar system.
This specification has referred to the top (hot) end and the bottom (cool) end of the cathode current collector as though this was vertical. In fact, the collector may be vertical, or it may be horizontal and extend through the side wall of the cell; or a vertical hot end may be joined to a horizontal metal bar. It is generally preferred that the hot end of the collector extend vertically down from the cell, as this reduces horizontal electrical currents and magentic fields and reduces magnetohydrodynamic disurbances in the metal pad.
There is necessarily a temperature gradient along the cathode current collector, from about 950� C. at the hot end to perhaps 200� C. at the cool end. The number of collectors per cell, and the length and diameter of each section of each collector need to be designed in conjunction with the dimensions of any depressions in the cell potlinings, in accordance with known criteria, to achieve a desired combination of electrical conductivity and heat loss at minimum capital cost. Since TiB2 is a relatively expensive material, it may be desired to reduce the length of sections containing it. But if the metal bar at the lower end is of aluminium, it must not be exposed to temperatures at which it loses mechanical strength, so the junction between the section including the array or network and the metal bar should not exceed 500� C. In order to improve heat control, the cross-section area of the metal bar may increase from this junction downwards.

1 Comment
Following last Thursday's release of
Phoronix Test Suite 0.5.0
, this morning version 0.5.1 has been released. This release that brewed in just four days has one dozen official changes with some of them warranting this version bump.
The encoding profiles and a few others have been updated in this release to reflect a new standard WAV file. This Phoronix Test Suite WAV file is much larger and of higher quality than its predecessor. However, the change in the audio file means that the results generated by PTS 0.5.1+ will be vastly different than earlier versions found in
PTS Global
Thanks to patches from
, this release has improved screensaver detection by fixing an
parsing bug and he had also improved the process checker with regards to the Thunderbird and Firefox detection. The PTS Results Viewer also has some minor alterations. Fixed in this release is also allowing results from larger suites to be uploaded to
our public Linux performance database
From the development perspective, the biggest change with this release is now exporting all of the XML interface paths to
. Now if you're writing an XML profile, suite, or anything else XML-related, check out this file to see all available options. The forthcoming documentation will be based upon the information in this file.
When it comes to new additions in this release, Phoronix Test Suite 0.5.1 adds an OpenSSL RSA test (and this openssl test is also now found in the multicore suite). In addition, this release introduces the first PCQS (
ertification &
uite) profile. This first PCQS profile is for server/workstation motherboard reviews at Phoronix and is named
Aside from these mentioned changes, there are a few other improvements in Phoronix Test Suite 0.5.1 but the major ones are mentioned. Download the new version

Gently Used Outerwear and Cross-Country Ski Sale - Community Recycling!
On Wednesday, October 13 and Thursday, Oct. 14, Merriconeag will hold its annual outerwear and cross-country ski sale. This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up good quality children's rain gear, snow jackets and pants, snowsuits, boots, hats, and mittens, all for extremely reasonable prices. Cross-country skis, boots, and poles are also sold for a good price. The sale is intended to fit toddlers through young adults (ages 2 – 18).
Merriconeag students are required to have outerwear for all seasons, for outside activities in the rain, mud and snow…and they also need clothing and equipment for the cross-country (Nordic) ski programs which start in Grade two. This is a great way to keep them equipped at low cost while encouraging recycling within our community.
In past years, parents have been very appreciative of the great bargains they found at the sale and are counting on finding reasonably priced, great outerwear again this year. To make this happen, we need your contributions of gently used outerwear, and cross-country skis that are in ski-ready condition. By "gently used" we mean: We only want it if it's something you would consider buying for your own children. We will be collecting the outerwear and Nordic ski equipment the first week of October, so please start looking at your children's outerwear needs, and consider donating those items you would like to contribute. Watch for more Tuesday News announcements in the future.
We also need a few volunteers to help with collecting, sorting and selling. Outerwear Sale volunteers get first dibs, so contact Lynne Espy by email or call 207.865.3900 Ext. 116, now if you can help!

Report: Guard Mike Gibson to join Cardinals
Center Lyle Sendlein tore the MCL in his left knee during the team's Week 12 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
With Sendlein -- who had previously started 80 straight games -- forced to the sidelines for the remainder of the season, Ken Whisenhunt has relied on third-year veteran Rich Ohrnberger to start at center during the team's past two contests.
Ohrnberger, who had played in all 13 games this season, injured his knee in the Cardinals' 58-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday and was placed on injured reserve Monday. Arizona replaced his roster spot with veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer, but still wanted some depth over the final three games. And from the looks of it, they may have found it Tuesday.

Gibson, a former sixth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, has played in just 17 career NFL games. The guard last appeared with the Seattle Seahawks during the 2010 season.
Gibson was previously cut by the Eagles in training camp.
