The 3rd International Internet of @ThingsExpo, co-located with the 16th International Cloud Expo - to be held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY - announces that its Call for Papers is now open. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the biggest idea since the creation of the Worldwide Web more than 20 years ago.

Cultural, regulatory, environmental, political and economic (CREPE) conditions over the past decade are creating cross-industry solution spaces that require processes and technologies from both the Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Management and Analytics (DMA). These solution spaces are evolving into Sensor Analytics Ecosystems (SAE) that represent significant new opportunities for organizations of all types. Public Utilities throughout the world, providing electricity, natural gas and water, are pursuing SmartGrid initiatives that represent one of the more mature examples of SAE. We have s...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

One of the biggest challenges when developing connected devices is identifying user value and delivering it through successful user experiences. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Mike Kuniavsky, Principal Scientist, Innovation Services at PARC, described an IoT-specific approach to user experience design that combines approaches from interaction design, industrial design and service design to create experiences that go beyond simple connected gadgets to create lasting, multi-device experiences grounded in people's real needs and desires.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Unless you're a captain of industry, a professional athlete or some kind of thickly bankrolled celebrity, there's a pretty good chance that you're not going to be amongst the lucky first owners of the upcoming Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 supercar. We can commiserate, as just the though of slipping behind the wheel of the Gallardo-replacing monster, and gunning the 610-horsepower V10 engine is enough to get our hearts racing.
It's a kindly gesture on the part of Lamborghini then, to put together this little Huracán driving simulator for us 99-percenters. Perhaps not the very last word in graphical presentation or life-like physics engines, the sim is nevertheless a cool diversion for a flash-based driving game. If you're like us, you'll need a few laps to get acquainted with the brutish steering controls, but we trust you'll catch on. Last one around the test track buys the first round of grappa at happy hour.

Hotel facilities, location, beach front, quality of the restaurants, Barista open air restaurant bar.
Wifi speed is very mediocre.
Unlimited, free wifi. Great location. Beautiful beach. Best ever beds
The only outlet was located behind the desk. We asked for an extension cord.
I stayed with my two children and all I can say is that everything was just fantastic: location, cleanliness, staff very very helpful, food amazing, pools just simply great, lots of lounge chairs and towels, food and drinks at the poolside bars really amazing, beach very nice, everything just terrific! Thank you!
I really loved everything!
We booked this hotel mainly because of the pools and beach area. Loved that every pool had life guards on duty (even though I constantly watched my 3 year old in the water). Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were very friendly and polite. New tram system opened the day after we arrived which was handy but getting taxis to main attractions wasn't expensive anyway. There is a carrefour supermarket across the road too so brilliant for picking up milk/snacks for little ones. Already planning our next trip back.
Occasionally private boats moor not far from the hotel and party with loud music until all hours. I am a light sleeper and 2 nights was woken at around 3am by the noise and then couldn't get back to sleep. Food, whether poolside or in the restaurants is very expensive.
Great location for the hotel - right in the centre of things which was great as we needed to be able to come and go. Super helpful staff, relaxed beach, great rooms.
The gym was a shocker for anyone who is serious about exercise - great for the brochures and useless in reality. Three soft Swiss balls, one bench, one mat, dozens of CV stations. There was a special license until 5am on Saturday morning making the room noise terrible -we should have been warned. The noise levels high on other weekend nights from neighbouring bars, but only till 1am or so. Breakfast expensive if you only want a light start.
Just a great hotel. Not trying to be overstated and pompous. Just a great layout, pool, beach, staff and facilities. The room (8th floor exec sea view) was more than adequate and I can't really find fault with anything!
Only a little gripe but not an issue was the late check out (after 6pm) is normally charged at full room rate. They do have facilities at the spa and also a check out lounge so I can't say this is a major negative point!
Professional staff taking care of your needs and requests and great facilities. Nice design/architecture and quality and timely service.
A bit too expensive.
Executive Club was good; maintenance staff is responsive; lots of restaurant choices
Main restaurant is not clean, tons of dirty dishes around, food on the floor, buffet tables are not clean, service horribly slow and inattentive (but Executive club on the 8th floor is a rescue); Reservation requirements may not be met upon arrival even if confirmed; the guest may need to argue and negotiate for the room booked; reception staff is arrogant and poorly trained; The sea is primarily for boats, not for swimming The hotel is generally run down, walls & doors need paining, carpets are quite worn; the place has seen better days
The events staff were awesome and couldn't do enough for us. Our speakers and delegates were blown away by the service and the facilities.
the service is excellent.
Staff were very helpful and friendly. The facility is really great for beach and swimming activities. With multiple pools and a very compact and clean beach, it provide a great experice for both family and the kids. The resturants are very good. Specially the Pizzeria on the terrace of the first floor beach house. What was most amazing about the hotel was the staff responsiveness to any comments or complain. It was instant, positive and resolved the situation.
My first room was not what I paid for. No see view, poorly maintained, and not very clean. This was solved next day when I was offered a better room with see view and exactly what to expect from a five star hotel. Some areas need furniture upgrades. And the lobby area need more food options.
Great place for family Vacation ! Nice view, very big rooms.I advise to take a room with a balcony.
blanket was very heavy and uncomfortable.
coffee was weak - in room movies were non existent had to go to 8th florr to get a dvd which was archaic- apart from that it was great
the location is very good, nice staff and clean hotel
staff were absolutely great and courteous breakfast is amazing and a good variety of outlets we enjoyed our stay and will recommend the hotel strongly
Very nice large room, well positioned hotel, friendly staff both inside and outside of hotel.
No atm on site at the hotel and no flexibility from staff. No facility to put costs of products in hotel shops on your room so you needed cash and no support from reception. Had to use atm at sister hotel. Both my husband and I were preferred Starwood Guest which enable you to build up points and get discounts on hotel restaurant food etc. The Westin did not accept that status even though they are in Starwood Group of hotels.
Good and polite staff, from reception desk to room cleaning staff. Seaside location was great, great pool and breakfast. I had a complaint about room service, at the end it was a misunderstanding from my side, immediately actions were taken to make my stay even more agreeable.
Loacation, for everything a taxi is needed. To go to JBR walking, it's needed to follow the very noisy road. A promenade via the marina along the seaside would be more relaxing. A big disadvantage compared with Hilton, Sheraton and Ritz...which is in the same class of price...
Room size, Clean, friendly and helpful staff.
breakfast basic with few serving staff resulting in long waits for cold tea and coffee. Food too expensive in the hotel.
everything best of all
price is very big
An excellent value: the attitude of the staff is amazing, here really the guest is the first concern, very kind service at reception, at concierge, at spa, in the restaurants, on the beach... It is really exceptional. The whole staff is attentive all the time. In addition the facilities are in great condition, well-kept, spotlessly clean. A unique experience. I have travelled all around the world, but rarely saw, experienced such a well-managed hotel hotel.
Well, the bed was too soft for me... but I guess it's just the question of taste...
Great pools and a nice beach.
service cleanliness room size location views & surroundings
took around 1 Hr. to get my luggage to the room after 3 phone calls!
Great overall experience from Room, staff and F&B
The staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Attention to detail.
Likes include: 1. Pool area for adults 2. Spanish restaurant 3. Wine bar 4. View from room
Dislikes: 1. Restaurant near the pool - 40 minute wait time to receive the meal 2. Italian restaurant - another 40 minute wait to receive the first course 3. Over priced breakfast

Feeling Out of Place
Last week I started to write a post, and then I abandoned it. It didn't feel right. I couldn't say what I wanted to say about my ambivalent relationship with technology, especially where it intersects with issues of Spirit. I dropped the post, half written and never completed it, thinking that I was only stuck because of the topic that I'd decided to write about. Today, after hours of hemming and hawing about what to write today, I realize that I'm stuck for a far deeper reason. It's hard to … [Read more...]
Urban Witchcraft : Spirit Roads
Most U.S. witches live in cities. This probably holds true for most of the western world, since urbanization is on the rise and predicted to grow.

The sounds I hear, and the other-than-human-persons I encounter, are different. Yet, they are still animate, and very eldritch.Since I plan for this to become a multi-part series, let me … [Read more...]

My years in Ireland were like graduate school. They challenged my thoughts on spirituality, witchcraft, and culture. While living outside my culture of origin, I chose to drop my identifiers and preconceived ideas. I sought to experience my culture of residence with fresh eyes and an insider perspective. Irish mythology and folklore have shaped much of our understanding, and practice of paganism. The very names used for significant seasonal celebrations are influenced by Irish language and c … [Read more...]
Returning To America : Place As Cultural Experience
Each time I return from abroad, I am struck by just how different things are here in 'Murica. Spaces are large, cars move fast, and people are pointy. Life in the U.S. is like an oil painting, with layered color, defined texture, and not-so-subtle edges. Contrast this with the watercolor world that is Ireland, where I have lived for the past three years, and suddenly the two cultures, though shaped and influenced by shared or similar values and forces, appear at polar ends of a cultural spec … [Read more...]
Land Spirits: When Things Go Bump
I am leaving my little house, and the lane with the standing stone and ring fort. I won't be taking autumnal walks under the hazel thicket, or lounging in the arms of the blackthorn grove during winter's darkest hours. Instead, I will stroll under the tall heads of pecan and elm because I am returning to the sauntering arms of a Texas sunbeam. This week I packed my first suitcase and the physicality of the act brought the reality home. As I retreated to the cozy stone sitting room, to process … [Read more...]

These products are also useful in the treatment of water and waste water to lower phosphate content.

a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to a means for promoting the neutralization reaction between particulate calcium carbonate-derived products and ionized phosphate and to a process for the preparation of a modified calcium carbonate reactant.
2. Background Art
Calcium carbonate, in the form of limestone or in the form of pulverized shells from crustaceans, is a basic material used for the neutralization of acids. Calcium carbonate is a generally non-toxic material and the residues from its use provide no particular hazards for disposal.
In the medical fields, excessive acids present in the stomach and small intestine have been identified as a cause for pain and may be directly involved in either the formation of ulcers or the irritation thereof. Commercially available antacids typically contain calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide and combinations thereof. Unavoidable side effects from the use of these compounds include effects on bowel movements from magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, magnesium tending to cause diarrhea and aluminum hydroxide causing constipation. Calcium compounds have the unfortunate side effect that a feedback mechanism results in the delayed generation of increased amounts of stomach acids. Sodium compounds, which are also available as antacids, are generally not preferred because the increased amount of sodium is contraindicated for persons on restricted diets to control hypertension and heart or kidney diseases. As a general rule, commercial antacids contain only trace amounts of sodium.
Serum phosphate levels serve an important regulatory function in mammals. Hyperphosphatemia is associated with the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy in patents with uremia. While the exact control mechanism is not clear, hyperphosphatemia appears to be related to calcium malabsorption which is commonly observed in patients with advanced renal insufficiency. Since serum calcium levels control the release of parathyroid hormone, if hyperphosphatemia can be avoided secondary hyperparathyroidism can be prevented (See Slatopolsky et al., N. Engl. J. Med., 315, 157 (1986).
One mode of treatment for patients with hyperphosphatemia is the use of phosphate binders that contain aluminum. While this mode of treatment is generally successful in the short term, the accumulation of aluminum over an extended period of time results in the development of osteomalacia. Slatopolsky et al have shown that calcium carbonate, in particular Os-Cal�, a commercially available calcium supplement which is derived from oyster shells, can be effective in the control of hyperphosphateima.
The use of a calcium carbonate compound as a phosphate binder, in place of aluminum containing compounds, offers obvious advantages but its utility is limited by the recognized hazard that metastatic calcification will occur in patients undergoing long term therapy. It is advisable, therefore, to limit the amount of calcium provided in a calcium carbonate-based phosphate binder.
A major commercial use for calcium carbonate is the treatment of acidic waters and gases for environmental protection. Granulated or pulverized limestone is typically the calcium carbonate source and numerous processes have been disclosed in the prior art to enhance the effectiveness of calcium carbonate for this purpose (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,629,130).
A particular concern, from an environmental standpoint, is the presence of phosphate in lakes and rivers. Excess phosphate causes algae blooms, which result in oxygen depletion of the water and the death of other organisms present. For this reason, the phosphate discharges should be controlled wherever possible but control is, at best, difficult. Conventional sewage treatment processes remove relatively small percentages of the phosphate entering the system and run-off from agricultural lands is rarely subject to any treatment.
It is known that the rate and extent of reaction between a given quantity of phosphate ion and a given quantity of particulate calcium carbonate is dependent on the physical capability of each phosphate ion to contact a calcium carbonate molecule in solution or at a surface. The efficiency of the reaction between phosphate ion and particulate calcium carbonate is impeded by the formation of the relatively insoluble tricalcium phosphate on the external surfaces of the calcium carbonate particle involved. As a result, when calcium carbonate is used to remove phosphate ions, an excess of calcium carbonate is typically required. In medical applications, the presence of excess calcium is undesirable. For non-medical uses the inefficiency of the reaction results in increased costs for treatment.
It is one object of this invention to provide a modified product comprising calcium carbonate having a more efficient neutralization reactivity towards phosphate ion when compared to the unmodified calcium carbonate conventionally used. It is a further object of this invention to provide a calcium carbonate comprising product for medical purposes having a significantly greater capacity, on a weight basis, for neutralizing phosphate ion in the presence of chloride ion as compared to the calcium carbonate used to prepare the product. A further objective is to provide a calcium carbonate comprising product suitable for inclusion in antacid preparations for the control of excess acid in the intestinal tract. A further objective is to provide a calcium carbonate comprising composition useful, when administered per os to lower blood serum phosphate levels and which also may be used to control serum calcium levels.
A further objective of this invention is to provide calcium carbonate and calcium fluoride containing compositions, having solubility characteristics suitable for ingestion, to supply fluoride ion and calcium ion for therapeutic purposes. A still further object is to provide calcium carbonate containing products having added fluoride suitable, when used in admixture with Vitamin D and other adjuvants to be utilized in the manufacture of calcium carbonate containing therapeutic agents. (A commercially available calcium carbonate product containing calcium and Vitamin D in the ratio of 250 mg Ca to 125 USP units of Vitamin D is Os-Cal�, manufactured by Marion Laboratories, Kansas City, Mo. 64137). A further objective of this invention is to provide a fluoride ion containing mild abrasive suitable for use in dentifrices.
It is a further objective of this invention to provide an improved method for the removal of phosphate ion from rivers, lakes and streams, and in industrial process, by providing a calcium carbonate containing product having a more efficient neutralization reactivity toward phosphate ion and having a significantly greater capacity, on a weight basis for neutralizing phosphate ion. A further objective is to provide enhanced reactivity in the presence of ubiquitous environmental contaminants such as chloride ion.
This invention provides means to promote the neutralization reaction between particulate calcium carbonate and ionized phosphate. Calcium carbonate containing minor amounts of molecularly dispersed calcium fluoride, prepared by dispersing particulate calcium carbonate in dilute aqueous hydrofluoric acid can be employed to removed phosphate ions at a higher efficiency than untreated particulate calcium carbonate. The treated calcium carbonate particles containing calcium fluoride are effective in the removal of phosphate ions in the presence of chloride ions, such as would be encountered in gastric juices. The preferred amount of fluoride present is 2 to 5% as CaF2 by weight.
Calcium carbonate containing molecularly dispersed calcium fluoride can be prepared using calcium carbonate derived from oyster shell or limestone and the products of this invention ma be used for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, gastric ulcers and other diseases wherein the control of acidity and serum phosphate are required.
Particulate calcium carbonate containing molecularly dispersed calcium fluoride may be used to remove phosphate from industrial and household effluents and in the treatment of rivers, lakes and streams containing excess phosphate levels.
FIG. 1 is a plot of pH versus grams of sample required to achieve neutralization of a given quantity of acids using calcium carbonate materials containing different levels of fluoride.
FIG. 2 is a plot of pH versus grams of calcium carbonate required to achieve neutralization of a given quantity of acids.
Phosphate ions in molecular contact with particulate calcium carbonate react to form mono-,di-,and tri-calcium phosphates. Calcium phosphate salts vary greatly in water solubility, ranging from 2 to 3�10-3 g per 100 ml for tri-calcium phosphate to 1.8 grams per 100 ml for the mono-calcium phosphate. The rate and extent of reaction between any given quantity of phosphate ion and any given quantity of particulate calcium carbonate is dependent upon the physical capability of each phosphate ion to contact a calcium carbonate molecule in solution or at a surface. Calcium carbonate has a solubility of only 1.5�10-3 g per 100 ml and the efficiency of the reaction between phosphate ions and particulate calcium carbonate is further impeded by the formation of the relatively insoluble tri-calcium phosphate on the external surfaces of the calcium carbonate particles.
This invention is based upon the discovery that the efficiency of the reaction between calcium carbonate and phosphate ion may be promoted by supplying a quantity of fluoride to the system. More specifically, this invention resides in the provision of molecularly dispersed fluoride in a particulate calcium carbonate by dispersing finely ground calcium carbonate in a dilute aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid. After removal of the water, such as by evaporation, the treated calcium carbonate may be used as a powder, formed into pills, packed into capsules or dispersed in a liquid or gel for use in that manner.
A preferred source of calcium carbonate is obtainable from oyster shells and is available in pharmaceutical grades as oyster shell flour. This is the active calcium source in products such as Os-Cal�. An alternative source of calcium carbonate is finely ground limestone rock.
While not wishing to be bound by any theoretical explanation of this invention, it is believed that the reaction between a calcium carbonate product prepared in accordance with this invention and phosphate ions when compared with untreated calcium carbonate resides in the molecular species which is ultimately formed. It is known that phosphate in natural phosphate minerals is essentially unavailable for utilization by plants and animals and, in commercial practice, phosphate rock and bone phosphate sources must be first treated by chemical or thermal means to remove fluoride. Natural phosphate minerals are predominately fluorapatite, a mineral comprising calcium, phosphorous, oxygen and fluorine and having an empirical formula of Ca3 (PO4)2.CaF2. The solubility of fluorapatite in water is essentially zero. A related compound, hydroxyapatite, partly carbonated, makes up the mineral parts of teeth.
When a quantity of fluoride between 2 and 5%, as CaF2, is present in the treated calcium carbonate as taught in this invention, it is possible to create, upon reaction with phosphate ion, a molecular species approximating the natural fluorapatite composition. The insoluble precipitate effectively removes phosphate from the system.
Treatment of calcium carbonate with dilute HF apparently results in the formation of a different crystalline structure in the calcium carbonate and avoids the coating phenomenon wherein tri-calcium phosphate apparently is formed on the external surfaces of particulate calcium carbonate, which presumably prevents the obtainment, in practice, of the formation of calcium phosphate using the theoretical equivalent amount of calcium carbonate. Since fluorapatite is less soluble than calcium phosphates, there is no phosphate ion in the solution at equilibrium and essentially theoretical amounts of the treated calcium carbonate material can be employed.
When the calcium carbonate treated by the addition of molecularly dispersed fluoride is used as a pharmaceutical composition to lower serum phosphate levels, the amount of calcium which must be administered to achieve the desired reduction in serum phosphate levels may be lower than the amount which would be required in the absence of treatment. For example, Slatopolsky et al. report that 8.5 grams of Os-Cal� was required to obtain a decrease in serum phosphate equivalent to that obtained with aluminum containing compounds in test subjects. According to this invention, this value can, theoretically be reduced to 6.0 grams per day and could provide a means for reducing potential side effects such as metastatic calcification.
If the treated calcium carbonate containing compositions of this invention were administered orally, they would first interact with saliva, which has a pH of approximately 6.7. Upon entering the stomach, the materials administered would encounter solutions of hydrochloric acid approximating 0.03 N although higher acid concentrations may be encountered locally as a result of stimulation of the gastric glands. It is essential, therefore, that phosphate precipitating compounds must be effective in the presence of chloride ion. Since calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to form, ultimately, carbon dioxide, water, and dissolved calcium chloride the compounds of this invention would still be capable of providing the calcium and fluoride necessary to be effective for the removal of phosphate ions even in the presence of excessive stomach acid levels.
Administration of the compounds of this invention, therefore, would provide an effective means for lowering serum levels of phosphate without introducing any irritants into the stomach and gastric tract. The insoluble precipitate which is formed is non-toxic and readily discharged through the bowels, thereby removing both the phosphate and excess calcium. The compounds of this invention also are a mild abrasive suitable for use in a dentifrice and do not require the addition of another source of fluoride for the control of dental caries.
When used for the removal of phosphate from industrial and household effluents, the water-insoluble precipitates could be easily removed by settling, filtration, or some combination thereof. Since the precipitate is equivalent in composition to naturally occurring minerals, disposal on land creates no significant environmental hazard and, indeed, the material may be recycled as a source of phosphate.
In the treatment of lakes containing excessive amounts of phosphate, the compounds of this invention may be added directly and the phosphate effectively precipitated in a form which is non toxic to fish, crustaceans and normal lake flora.
The above and other objects and the attendant advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent by reference to the following detailed description, when considered in conjunction with the accompanying Tables and Figures.
It is known that the relative phosphate ion neutralization utility of various products can be established by determining the weight of each calcium carbonate comprising material required to neutralize a given quantity of acid. Hydrochloric and phosphoric acids are the primary acids of concern. Their concentration determines the pH of gut contents and the serum phosphate ion concentration in the blood. In the following experiments, the quantity of total acid used in each test was kept constant, while the amount of each neutralizing sample was varied. The pH obtained at equilibrium was noted and used as a measure of the neutralization efficiency and phosphate binding capacity.
A standard acid concentrate containing 0.33 mol of HCl (12.15 grams) and 0.67 mol of H3 PO4 (65.33 grams) was admixed with water to a volume of one liter. A 100 ml aliquot of diluted acid containing 14.42 ml of the acid concentrate was prepared for each experiment.
Five hundred grams of oyster flour obtained from Oyster Shell Products, P.0. Box 1225, Mobile, Ala., and representative of the materials used in the preparation of antacid medicinal products, was dispersed in 1000 grams of deionized water. The aqueous phase had a pH of 9.65 after three days standing. The water content was then removed by evaporation at 100� C. to constant weight. By analysis, the dried material contained 85.25% calcium carbonate. The material was readily friable and screened through a 60-mesh screen to form Sample 1.
Five hundred grams of oyster shell flour, as used in Example 1, was rapidly dispersed in one liter of an aqueous solution containing 20 grams of HF. After three days standing, the pH of the aqueous dispersion was found to be 6.53. The water was then removed by heating at 100� C. to constant weight and screened through a 60-mesh screen. The product was found to contain 7.97% calcium fluoride (3.9% F), 76.94% calcium carbonate and 15.08 chetin and other naturally occurring materials naturally occurring in oyster shell products and is identified as Sample 2.
Five hundred grams of oyster shell flour, as used in the preparation of Example 1, was rapidly dispersed in one liter of a solution containing 10 grams of HF. After three days standing, the aqueous dispersion was found to have a pH of 6.7. The water was removed by evaporation at 100� C. to constant weight and the dried material passed through a 60-mesh screen. The product contained 4% calcium fluoride (1.9% F), 81% calcium carbonate and 15% chetin and other naturally occurring materials, and was identified as Sample 3.
Five hundred grams of oyster shell flour, as used in Example 1, was rapidly dispersed in one liter of a solution containing 5 grams of HF. After three days standing the pH of the aqueous phase was found to be 7.1. The water was removed by evaporation at 100� C. to constant weight and the dried material was passed through a 60-mesh screen. The sample was found to contain 2% calcium fluoride (1% F), 84% calcium carbonate and 14% chetin and other materials, and identified as Sample 4.
A portion (480 grams) of the product of Example 1 was physically mixed with 20 grams of chemically pure calcium fluoride to produce Sample 5, having a calcium fluoride content of 4% (2% F).
Chemically pure, precipitated, calcium carbonate (425 grams) was dispersed with mixing in a water solution containing 20 grams of HF. After three days standing, the water was removed by drying at 100� C. to constant weight and the product screened through a 60-mesh screen. The product contained 9.4% CaF2 (4.8% F), and 90.6% CaCO3 and identified as Sample 6.
Five hundred grams of pigment grade limestone, having a mean particle diameter of less than six micrometers, and a calcium carbonate content of 90%, was dispersed with efficient mixing in a solution containing 20 grams of HF. After three days standing, the material was dried to constant weight at 100� C. and found to contain 8% CaF2 (4% F) and 82% CaCO3, and was identified as Sample 7.
Aliquots of dried Samples 1-7 were placed in jars equipped with a screw lid fitted with a foam polystyrene liner and 100 ml of the test acid, as described above, containing 0.1752 grams of HCl and 0.9420 grams of H3 PO4 was added. The contents were hand stirred for one minute and evolution of carbon dioxide was observed. The lid was then placed on the jar and the contents allowed to stand at room temperature of approximately 70% F for 24 hours. Periodically, the jars were shaken to assure thorough mixing.
After 24 hours, the contents of each jar was placed in a 250 ml flask containing a magnetic stir bar and fitted with a thermometer. The flask, including contents, was weighed and the weight noted to the nearest one-one hundredth of a gram. After weighing, the flask and contents were placed on a hot plate equipped with a magnetic stirrer and the contents heated to a temperature of between 80� and 90� C. and maintained at that temperature for approximately 3 minutes. During this period, residual carbon dioxide was evolved and approximately 1 gram of water lost.
After cooling, the flask contents were weighted and deionized water added to replace that lost during heating. The solution was then filtered using Whatman No. 4 qualitative filter paper and the solution placed in a jar fitted with a screw top and allowed to cool to room temperature. The pH of the solution was determined to the nearest one-one hundredth of a pH unit using a digital pH meter (Orion Research Model 601A).
The conductivity of each solution was measured to the nearest one-hundredth mS/Cm with a calibrated conductivity meter (Extech Instruments, Model 690, available from Extech Instruments, 150 Bearhill Road, Waltham, Mass., calibrated using dilute KCl solutions). The results are shown in Table 1 and plotted in FIG. 1.

Sample 2, containing 3.9% F, required 2.25 grams to neutralize 100 ml of the acid test solution. Thus, for a given amount of hydrochloric and phosphoric acid containing solution, only 70% of the weight of material containing 3.9% F is required to neutralize the same amount of acid as can be neutralized using untreated calcium carbonate.
The effect of decreasing the amount of F present in the treated calcium carbonate is shown in the results for Samples 3 and 4.
The presence of calcium fluoride as individual particles but not molecularly dispersed is shown in the data for Sample 5. Comparison of the results for Samples 2, 3, 4 and 5 shows that the presence of calcium fluoride as individual particles has no significant effect on the neutralization reaction, whereas the presence of the molecularly dispersed calcium fluoride lessens the amount of material needed to achieve neutralization.
The data for Samples 6 and 7 indicate that both pure, precipitated calcium carbonate and pigment grade limestone are suitable for use in preparing products of this invention.
FIG. 2 shows data plotted relating the calcium carbonate content of the materials tested for neutralization capacity. Sample 1 require 2.5 grams to neutralized 100 ml of test acid, whereas only 1.75 grams of Sample 2 were required.
Conductivity measurements show the total concentration of ions present in the solution. As shown in Table 1, a marked decrease in conductivity occurs near a pH of 7, indicating that precipitation has occurred. The principle source of ions at a pH of 7 is believed to be derived from calcium chloride formed during neutralization.
The results reported above clearly show the untreated calcium carbonate, which does not contain fluoride (Sample 1) does not react quantitatively to precipitate phosphate. Calcium carbonate particulates react rapidly and completely with hydrochloric acid producing soluble calcium chloride and gaseous carbon dioxide. Calcium carbonate particles do not react rapidly with phosphoric acid, due to the apparent formation of the relative insoluble calcium phosphates on the surface of the particles. Assuming that all of the hydrochloric acid in the test acid reacted with calcium carbonate to form calcium chloride and carbonic acid and that all of the phosphoric acid reacted to form calcium phosphate and carbonic acid and further assuming that the calcium fluoride present would associate with calcium phosphate to produce the insoluble fluorapatite, the resulting product should have the following approximate mol ratios of components:
______________________________________1 mol Ca3 (PO4)2.CaF21.1 mol Ca3 (PO4)20.82 mol CaCl2______________________________________
The quantitative superiority, insofar as the relative weight of material required to neutralize given amounts of acids, is therefore believed due, at least in part, to the in situ formation of highly insoluble fluorapatite.

It is readily apparent that the above described calcium carbonate comprising product containing molecularly dispersed fluoride meets all of the objects mentioned above and also has the advantage of wide commercial utility. It should be understood that the specific form of the invention hereinafter described is intended to be representative only, as certain modifications within the scope of these teachings will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Accordingly, reference should be made to the following claims in determining the full scope of the invention.

"We've been playing a ton of guys. We want to get the rotation going and get as many guys comfortable on the floor and in the offense as possible. With the schedule we've got, we're going to need everybody."
"We're going to rotate guys out probably every month, so some guys will stay longer. It just depends what they want to do."
"We don't have a two-back rotation or anything like that. There's a starter and there's a guy who's backing him up who we would like to get plays. It will continue like this. We're going to go with our starter and we're going to try to get our backups in place."

Despite overwhelming evidence linking the CIA to drug traffickers, that sordid reality remains one of the great taboos of the mainstream U.S. media, which rallies to destroy anyone who points out the facts, a fate that befell journalist Gary Webb, as Greg Maybury explains.
Tag Archive for Gary Webb
Hung Out to Dry
From the Archive: With Hollywood poised to release "Kill the Messenger," a movie showing how the mainstream U.S. media destroyed journalist Gary Webb for reviving the Contra-cocaine scandal in the mid-1990s, we are reposting Georg Hodel's 1997 account of how Webb was betrayed by his own editors.
The CIA/MSM Contra-Cocaine Cover-up
Exclusive: With Hollywood set to release a movie about the Contra-cocaine scandal and the destruction of journalist Gary Webb, an internal CIA report has surfaced showing how the spy agency manipulated the mainstream media's coverage to disparage Webb and contain the scandal, reports Robert Parry.
New Evidence of Contra-Cocaine Scandal
Special Report: Since journalist Gary Webb died in 2004, the story that destroyed his life has slowly come into clearer focus, revealing how President Reagan's beloved Contras really were enmeshed in cocaine trafficking. On this ninth anniversary of Webb's suicide, new corroboration has emerged, reports Robert Parry.
Contra-Cocaine Was a Real Conspiracy
Exclusive: The 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination saw a mainstream media blackout of nearly all evidence of conspiracy in that case. But New York Magazine went even further, mocking the proven Contra-cocaine scandal as a "conspiracy theory," Robert Parry writes.
Fixing US Democracy with Facts
From Editor Robert Parry: In our 18 years, Consortiumnews.com has had one priority: to chart a truthful history of the United States and its role in the world. In doing so, we have examined key chapters of that history so our readers can get an honest and independent assessment of how Americans got to the…
Regret over Gary Webb's Demise
Exclusive: For several decades, mainstream U.S. journalists have fled from the career-threatening label "liberal," even to the point of destroying honest colleagues who got in the crosshairs of the Right. The story of the late Gary Webb and his Contra-cocaine revelations was a troubling case in point, writes Robert Parry.
Parry Reflects on Modern Journalism
From Editor Robert Parry: As we continue to struggle to keep Consortiumnews afloat financially, I am sometimes asked why I started this journalistic experiment back in 1995, why didn't I keep trying to do my reporting through the existing mainstream media which had a much wider reach.
Howard Kurtz's Belated Comeuppance
Exclusive: Media critic Howard Kurtz has lost his job as Washington bureau chief for Newsweek/Daily Beast after a blog post in which he falsely accused basketball player Jason Collins of hiding his past engagement to a woman while coming out as gay. But Kurtz's journalistic abuses have a much longer history, writes Robert Parry.
The Tragic Saga of Gary Webb
Starring Jeremy Renner as the late Gary Webb, the movie of Webb's investigation of the CIA's Contra-cocaine scandal – and of Webb's destruction by mainstream news outlets – is set to begin filming this summer. If Hollywood gets the story right, it will be a dark and enlightening tale, says H. "Corky" Johnson.

"A frank, funny, no-holds-barred memoir that reveals the Deal or No Deal host's ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD-and how it has shaped his life and career. Now, for the first time, he reveals the details of his struggle with these challenging disorders. He catalogs his numerous fears and neuroses and shares entertaining stories about how he has tried to integrate them into his act. 'If I'm making myself laugh,' he writes, "then I'm distracted from all the other things going on in my head that are, at times, torturous." And he speaks frankly and honestly about the ways his condition has affected his personal life-as a son, husband, and father of three."
"From the moment Martha and her husband, John, accidentally conceived their second child, all hell broke loose. They were a couple obsessed with success...They had two Harvard degrees apiece and were gunning for more...When their unborn son, Adam, was diagnosed with Down syndrome, doctors, advisers, and friends in the Harvard community warned them that if they decided to keep the baby, they would lose all hope of achieving their carefully crafted goals. Fortunately, that's exactly what happened."
"An emotionally frenzied memoir that reveals with kaleidoscopic intensity the terrifying world of manic depression. For years Andy Behrman hid his raging mania behind a larger-than-life personality. He…changed jobs the way some people change outfits...But when he turned to art forgery, he found himself the subject of a scandal lapped up by the New York media, then incarcerated, then under house arrest. And for the first time the golden boy didn't have a ready escape hatch from his unraveling life."
As a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio, Lyden has spent her adult life on the frontlines in some of the most dangerous war zones in the world. Her childhood was a war zone of a different kind. Her mother suffered from what we now call manic-depression; when Jacki was a child in a small Midwestern town, her mother was simply called crazy.
Also available on audio.
When he entered a residential treatment center at the age of twenty-three, James Frey had destroyed his body and his mind almost beyond repair. He faced a stark choice: accept that he wasn't going to see twenty-four or step into the fallout of his smoking wreck of a life and take drastic action.
Also available on audio. The sequel, My Friend Leonard, is available as an eBook.
"The literary sensation of the year, a book that redefines both family and narrative for the twenty-first century. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is the moving memoir of a college senior who, in the space of five weeks, loses both of his parents to cancer and inherits his eight-year-old brother. Here is an exhilarating debut that manages to be simultaneously hilarious and wildly inventive as well as a deeply heartfelt story of the love that holds a family together."
"...tells the extraordinary story of Eli Wallach's many years dedicated to his craft. Beginning with his early days in Brooklyn and his college years in Texas, where he dreamed of becoming an actor, this book follows his career as one of the earliest members of the famed Actors Studio and as a Tony Award winner for his work on Broadway. Wallach has worked with such stars as Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Peck, and Henry Fonda, and his many movies include The Magnificent Seven, How the West Was Won, the iconic The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and, most recently, Mystic River. For more than fifty years Eli Wallach has held a special place in film and theater, and in a tale rich with anecdotes, wit, and remarkable insight he recounts his magical life in a world unlike any other."
"The inspiring autobiography of the beloved singer, actor, and star of the hit television series Touched by an Angel....the story of a remarkable woman whose life has been filled with surprises. Born in the Detroit slums, Deloreese Patricia Early landed her first professional tour at thirteen, singing backup for Mahalia Jackson. By 1953 she was in New York with a recording contract, racking up hits including "In the Still of the Night" and "Don't You Know." The first woman to host The Tonight Show, Della also became the first black woman to host her own nationally syndicated television talk show. Through it all, Della has dealt with personal tragedy, such as the early death of her mother, which caused her to leave college in order to take care of her father. One night, while performing on The Tonight Show, Della suffered a potentially fatal aneurysm. When her doctor told her she had just days to live, she found a new surgeon, who trusted in the Almighty as she did. In 1983, Della's 'partner' above inspired her to become a minister. She has served ever since as the chief leader of a ministry she founded in a Los Angeles community, preaching to a standing-room-only crowd every Sunday. Here is the powerful story of a woman who is quick to credit the many miracles in her life to human 'angels,' as well as her 'partner' above."
"...the popular Oscar- nominated actress muses about movies, men, motherhood, and MS in a book that is both Hollywood hilarious and personally moving.
From Speedbumps:
I was originally up for the principal female role in Young Frankenstein . Mel Brooks was directing. He had just finished Blazing Saddles , and was at the top of the comedy world. Mel had picked me out of five hundred girls, but admitted that he was still trying to convince Madeline Kahn to take the lead role. After I auditioned three times, Madeline finally did decide to take the part of the fianc e. I was crushed. I'd never come so close to getting a major part in a major movie. But then Mel told me that if I came back the next day with a German accent I could read for the part of Inga, Gene Wilder's buxom lab assistant. A German accent in twenty-four hours? Luckily, I was still on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, and, as fate would have it, Cher's wig stylist was German. So, I sat in on Cher's hairstyling session (that gave me hours of study!) and emerged with a perfect German accent when saying, 'Mein Gott, zis vig veighs forty pounds.' That would translate to the script!
"There was one last thing I needed for Inga. Or two, actually. I realized Inga's part was really all about the boobs, so the next day I went in to the audition wearing a bra stuffed with socks. People pay over five thousand dollars for a boob job today. Mine cost under five dollars at Woolworth's, and got me the part, my biggest to date. I was thrilled. I'd been chosen by one of the best. My career was finally in motion. I got to thinking that I should have stuffed my bra with socks for every audition."
"From Children of a Lesser God to Dancing with the Stars, Academy Award®–and Golden Globe–winning actress Marlee Matlin shares her incredible life story in a moving and often surprising memoir, I'll Scream Later. More than twenty years after becoming the youngest woman to win a Best Actress Oscar for her stunning performance as Sarah Norman, the pupil-turned-custodian at a school for the Deaf in Children of a Lesser God, Marlee Matlin continues to be an inspirational force of nature.
"A working mother, wife, activist, and role model, she takes readers on the frank and touching journey of her life, from the sudden and permanent loss of her hearing at eighteen months old to the highs and lows of Hollywood, her battles with addiction, and the unexpected challenges of being thrust into the spotlight as an emissary for the Deaf community. With uncompromising honesty, she reveals the shocking incidents of molestation that took her years to reconcile; her passionate and tumultuous relationship with Oscar winner William Hurt; her romances with Rob Lowe, Richard Dean Anderson, and David E. Kelley; and much more. As fresh and invigorating as her memorable television roles on Seinfeld, The West Wing, The L Word, and her dazzling turn on Dancing with the Stars, Marlee Matlin's self-portrait captures the chutzpah and humor of a celebrated actress who continues to defy all expectations."
