The present invention relates to a liquid descaling composition containing a phosphoric acid, a phosphonic acid, a cationic surfactant, an amine oxide and water.
1. A lime scale cleaning composition comprising approximately by weight:
(a) 24% to 36% of phosphoric acid;
(b) 0.25% to 5% of a phosphonic acid, wherein said phosphonic acid is an amino trialkyl phosphonic acid;
(c) 1% to 10% of an amine oxide;
(d) 0.5% to 6% of a cationic surfactant;
(e) the balance being water; and
(f) a C2 -C4 alkanol, wherein the pH of said composition is about 2.0.
2. The composition of claim 1, wherein said cationic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of a C8 -C14 alkyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, a C8 -C16 dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and a C8 -C16 alkyl, C8 -C14 alkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and mixtures thereof.
3. The composition of claim 2, wherein said amine oxide is a cocoamidopropyl dimethyl amine oxide.
The present invention relates to a descaling liquid composition, wherein the composition contains phosphoric acid, an amine trialkyl phosphonic acid, an amine oxide surfactant, a cationic surfactant and water, wherein the composition is free of perfume and does not contain an organic acid such as citric acid, maleic acid, succinic or adipic acid.
The present invention relates to the removal of lime scale build up deposits from the interior of automatic dishwashing machines, coffee machines, steam irons, cooking appliances, tea pots or any other machine using water having a high calcium ion concentration, wherein it is necessary that the composition be both free of organic acids and perfumes such that undesirable odors are not left on the machine being cleaned.
European Patent Application No. 93870120 and EP066303 both disclose cleaning compositions that contain maleic acid.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,008,030 and 5,192,460 disclose an acid disinfectant cleaning composition containing phosphoric acid and an amine trialkyl phosphonic, anionic or ethoxylated nonionic surfactants and a perfume.
The present invention relates to a descaling liquid cleaning composition for the removal of limescale build up from the interior of appliances which employ water having a high calcium concentration. The descaling liquid composition which has a pH of about 1 to about 5 contains phosphoric acid, an amino trialkyl phosphonic acid, a cationic surfactant, an amine oxide surfactant and water.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning composition which has a low foam profile and is capable of removing limescale build up.
Another objection of the present invention is to provide a liquid descaling composition which is free of perfumes and maleic acid.
The present invention relates to a liquid descaling cleaning composition which comprises approximately by weight:
(a) 24% to 36%, more preferably 26% to 34% of phosphoric acid;
(b) 0.25% to 5%, more preferably 1% to 3% of an amino trialkyl phosphonic acid;
(c) 1% to 10%, more preferably 2% to 8% of an amine oxide surfactant,
(d) 0.5% to 6%, more preferably 1 % to 5% of a cationic surfactant;
(e) 0.1% to 4%, more preferably 0.4% to 2% of a C2 -C4 alkanol such as isopropyl alcohol; and
(f) the balance being water, wherein the composition does not contain an ethoxylated and/or propoxylated nonionic surfactant, maleic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, a zwitterionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, a perfume, an essential oil, a water insoluble hydrocarbon, a glycol ether cosurfactant and a glycol ester cosurfactant and the composition is not a microemulsion.
The instant compositions contain about 0.5 to about 6 wt. %, more preferably 1 to 5 wt. % of a cationic surfactant selected from the group consisting of a C8 -C16 alkyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium chlorides, C8 -C16 dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chlorides and C8 -C16 alkyl, C8 -C14 alkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and chlorhexidine and mixtures thereof. A preferred cationic surfactant is didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. Some typical disinfectant agent useful in the instant compositions are manufactured by Lonza, S. A. They are: Bardac 2180 (or 2170) which is N-decyl-N-isonoxyl-N, N-dimethyl ammonium chloride; Bardac 22 which is didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride; Bardac LF which is N,N-dioctyl-N, N-dimethyl ammonium chloride; Bardac 114 which is a mixture in a ratio of 1:1:1 of N-alkyl-N, N-didecyl-N, N-dimethyl ammonium chloride/N-alkyl-N, N-dimethyl-N-ethyl ammonium chloride; and Barquat MB-50 which is N-alkyl-N, N-dimethyl-N-benzyl ammonium chloride.
The amine oxides are used at a concentration 1 to 10 wt. %, more preferably 2 to 8 wt. % in forming the light duty liquid compositions are depicted by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 is a C10 -C18 linear or branched chain alkyl group, R2 is a C1 -C16 linear alkyl group and R3 is a C1 -C1 6 linear alkyl group, or the amido radical: ##STR2## wherein R is an alkyl group having about 9 to 19 carbon atoms and a is the integer 1 to 4: R2 and R3 are each alkyl groups having 1 to 3 carbons and preferably 1 carbon.
The amino phosphonic acids are used at a concentration of 0.25 to 5 wt. %, more preferably 1 to 3 wt. %. Phosphonic acid apparently exists only theorectically, but its amino derivatives are stable and are useful in the practice of the present invention. Such are considered to be phosphonic acids, as that term is used in this specification. The phosphonic acids are of the structure: ##STR3## wherein Y is any suitable substituent, but preferably Y is alkylamino or N-substituted alkylamino. For example, a preferred phosphonic acid component of the present emulsions is aminotris-(methylenephosphonic) acid, which is of the formula N(CH2 PH2 O3)3. Among other useful phosphonic acids are ethylenediamine tetra-(methylenephosphonic) acid, hexamethylenediamine tetra-(methylenephosphonic) acid, and diethylenetriamine penta-(methylenephosphonic) acid. Such class of compounds may be described as aminoalkylenephosphonic acids containing in the ranges of 1 to 3 amino nitrogens, 3 to 5 lower alkylenephosphonic acid groups in which the lower alkylene is of 1 or 2 carbon atoms, and 0 to 2 alkylene groups of 2 to 6 carbon atoms each, which alkylene(s) is/are present and 30 in amino nitrogens when a plurality of such amino nitrogens is present in the aminoalkylenephosphonic acid. It has been found that such aminoalkylene phosphonic acids, which also may be partially neutralized at the desired pH of the microemulsion cleaner, are of desired stabilizing and protecting effect in the invented cleaner, especially when present with phosphoric acid, preventing harmful attacks on European enamel surfaces by the "organic acid" component(s) of the cleaner. Usually the phosphorus acid salts, if present, will be mono-salts of each of the phosphoric and/or phosphonic acid groups present.
The water that is used in making the present microemulsions may be tap water but is preferably of low hardness, normally being less than 150 parts per million (p.p.m.) of hardness, as calcium carbonate. Still, useful cleaners can be made from tap waters that are higher in hardness, up to 300 p.p.m, as CaCO3. Most preferably the water employed will be distilled or deionized water, in which the content of hardness ions is less than 25 p.p.m., usually being nil. Employment of such deionized water allows for the manufacture of a product of consistently good qualities, independent of hardness variations in the aqueous medium.
Various other components may desirably be present in the invented cleaners, including preservatives, antioxidants or corrosion inhibitors, multivalent metals or metal ions and various other adjuvants conventionally employed in liquid detergents and hard surface cleaners may also be present, provided that they do not interfere with the cleaning and scum and scale-removal functions of the cleaner.
The cleaner may desirably packed in manually operated spray dispensing container, which are usually and preferably made of synthetic organic polymeric plastic material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Such containers also preferably include nylon or other non-reactive plastic closure, spray nozzle, dip tube and associated dispenser parts, and the resulting packaged cleaner is ideally suited for use in "spray and wipe" applications. However, in some instances, as when lime scale and soap scum deposits are heavy, the cleaner may be left on until it has dissolved or loosened the deposits, and may then be wiped off, or may be rinsed off, or multiple applications may be made, followed by multiple removals, until the deposits are gone. For spray applications the viscosity of the microemulsion (or ordinary emulsion, if that is used instead) will desirably be increased so that the liquid adheres to the surface to be cleaned, which is especially important when such surface is vertical, to prevent immediate run-off of the cleaner and consequent loss of effectiveness. Sometimes, the product may be formulated as an "aerosol spray type", so that is foam discharged from the aerosol container will adhere to the surface to be cleaned. At other times the aqueous medium may be such as to result in a gel or paste, which is deposited on the surface by hand application, preferably with a sponge or cloth, and is removed by a combination of rinsing and wiping, preferably with a sponge, after which it may be left to dry to a shine, or may be dried with a cloth. Of course, when feasible, the cleaned surface may be rinsed to remove all traces of acid from it.
The instant formulas explicitly exclude alkali metal silicates and alkali metal builders such as alkali metal polyphosphates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal phosphonates and alkali metal citrates because these materials, if used in the instant composition, would cause the composition to have a high pH as well as leaving residue on the surface being cleaned.
The following examples illustrate liquid cleaning compositions of the described invention. The exemplified compositions are illustrative only and do not limit the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, the proportions in the examples and elsewhere in the specification are by weight.
The following formula in wt. % was made by simple mixing at room temperature:
______________________________________Phosphoric acid 30.00Aminotrimethyl phosphonic acid 1.5Cocoamidopropyldimethyl amine oxide 2.7Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride 1.94Isopropyl alcohol 0.85Water BalancepH 2.0______________________________________

"You can't get addicted to marijuana."
Fiction. Nine percent of people who use marijuana become dependent on it. That might not seem like a lot, but for those who start using it in their teens, the number goes up to 1 in 6.
"I can do drugs once and be OK."
Fiction. Sure, you might be able to, but the thing with drugs is that they target your brain's reward system. Your body remembers how much you enjoyed doing it that one time, and so it pushes you to do it again and again.
"My friends who drink have it under control."
Fiction. Your friends might be OK—though they're probably breaking the law, regardless of how much alcohol they consume. But according to a new CDC survey, nearly 20 percent of high school girls binge drink, which can have deadly consequences.
"Compared to stuff like cocaine and heroin, prescription pain killers are NBD."
Fiction. Right now, more people die from pain killer overdoses than from heroin and cocaine combined. Why? Because when you don't need them or aren't taking them as prescribed by your doctor, they can severely depress your respiratory system.
"Sniffing glue isn't really the same thing as doing a drug."
Fiction. Most inhalants depress the central nervous system just like alcohol does. Your speech can slur, you might lose coordination, you might become dizzy or light-headed. You could even have hallucinations or delusions. But huffing can cause serious, long-term damage, too. Highly concentrated solvents and aerosol sprays can cause heart failure and brain damage—yikes.
"Taking a friend's ADHD meds before a test is totally fine."
Fiction. Taking a medication prescribed for someone else is a felony, and is just as illegal as possessing marijuana is.
"Synthetic drugs like Spice are softer than the real stuff."
Fiction. Synthetic drugs are untested, so you never know what you're getting. While Spice or K2 mimics the active ingredient in marijuana, it's much, much stronger and has put some users in the hospital with serious complications, like heart attacks.

This was an interesting little hotel. We reserved a quad room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The room had adequate space, but was very, very dated. It was a very old building which appeared to have been renovated in the 80's, but they were not very successful at combining old and new. It was, however, clean with comfortable beds and a decent morning breakfast. They had a bar in the lobby, but I think we were the only ones who wanted to use it and the night clerk (who is also the bartender) didn't seem very pleased that he had to wait on us. Interestingly enough, on the times we met him as he was getting off work he was a very pleasant fellow. I just don't think he liked his night job very much.
Word of warning - we happened to be there when it was unusually hot and they do not have air conditioning. Do not rent the quad room if going in warm weather, the night clerk (when off duty) told us it was the hottest room in the hotel...he wasn't kidding. They gave us a fan to use, but since you can only open one of the windows in this room it never really cooled down that much.
All in all, I would stay here again if the weather was cool. I really liked being close to the museums (all within a few blocks) and high end shopping. It was also very easy to access the rest of Amsterdam via bus or water taxi.

Spin downhill toward the village of Bourg d'Oisans and marvel at the majestic Bérarde Valley, while climbing alongside the turquoise river to reach the small shepherd village of La Bérarde. Here you'll have time to enjoy a lunch of your choice, while soaking in the magnificent views of the Ecrins Mountains. On your return, a cable car will give you a lift to the ski resort of Les Deux Alpes, a mountaintop resort often showcased in past Tours. If you'd prefer to not ride today, rest yor legs and hop a cable car to the top of the La Grave ski area, where you can walk on the glacier and marvel at its rugged peaks; or simply enjoy some down time at your hotel.Tonight you're free to explore the charming village of La Grave for dinner and get mentally prepared for the ultimate challenge: a double ascent of Alpe d'Huez!
Alpe d'Huez King/Queen of the Mountains Double Ascent Challenge
Approximately 60 miles with 10500 feet of climbing
Today's Stage 3 is an avid road cyclist's dream—ascending Alpe d'Huez, the most revered and famous mountaintop finish in France. Your ride starts with an easy 19-mile downhill warm-up to the base of Alpe d'Huez, with the timed challenge starting at the ascent of the infamous 21-switchbacks to the summit of this most imposing pass.This climb was first included in the Tour in 1952 and each year is one of the most exciting points in the race as the Pros dance on their pedals to the summit after pushing through an average grade of nearly 8%. If this isn't enough, you will continue, following the 2013 Tour de France route and a winding alpine road over the Col de Sarenne, witnessing some of the most beautiful scenery you'll ever experience from the seat of a bicycle.You'll head back down to the base of Alpe d'Huez to ascend, for the second time! After all the riders have crossed the check point, the winner will be crowned and all contenders will have their photo taken on the podium before being presented with official certificates documenting their achievement. Later, relax with a bistro lunch while you linger at the top of this mighty mountain and soak up the reward of the grueling ascent—astounding views, the support and good cheer of your Trek Travel guides, the camaraderie of kindred spirits and the pride that you've just mastered one of cycling's most difficult climbs . . . twice! Gather for drinks tonight at the hotel and raise a toast to the final stage of the Alps Challenge, today's stage winner and each other for having the courage to chase these epic dreams.
Le Chazelet Hill Climb
Approximately 10 miles with 1300 feet of climbing
If you're interested in one last farewell climb, ascend above the village of La Grave to a five-star panoramic viewpoint of the La Meije massif—stunning mountains and tumbling glaciers from the best seat in the house. You'll say farewell to your guides at 10:00 AM at the Auberge Edelweiss.You will be arriving by 11:30 AM at the Grenoble main train station. Please do not book a train before 12:00 PM on this day. For all train travel, feel free to confirm train times on the posted timetable at France's rail site, www.SNCF.com.

Our itineraries are an approximation of our trips. Trek Travel strives to offer each and every guest a vacation of a lifetime on every trip. At times routes, hotels, activities, etc. listed here may change at the discretion of the trip designer or guides to improve the trip experience.
On all of our vacations, Trek Travel strives to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Alps Challenge is best suited for our Type 4 Riders. Type 4+ Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer. The terrain is highlighted by stunning views, quiet roads and challenging terrain. We will make an average of 2-3 major climbs per day that combine sustained climbing with several steep sections. See day by day itinerary for specific daily ride distance and elevation options.
This destination is best suited to guests who want to cycle every day. Because of the terrain and/or remoteness of the hotels and riding routes, there are few, if any, non-riding options available. If a non-rider wants to accompany a rider guest on this trip, they would need to spend many hours in the van and/or at the hotels on the trip. Due to this, we strongly discourage non-riders from this destination. As an alternative, call a Trek Travel Trip Consultant at 866.464.8735 for trip suggestions where more non-rider activities are available, such as:
The summer months in the Alps can bring warm days, ranging from the mid 60s to low 80s, with evenings dropping to the mid 50s to mid 60s. When traveling in the Alps, it is best to be prepared for variable conditions, as weather can change very quickly. There is always the chance of snow and rain. We recommend always traveling with rain gear, as well as plenty of breathable layers to provide warmth when the temperature drops.
For an additional fee you may request to upgrade to a race-proven Trek Madone 6.5 with Shimano Di2 electronic shifting for the ultimate riding experience. Upgrades to Bontrager Aeolus carbon wheels and Trek Ride Plus electric assist bicycle are also available. Contact our trip consultants for more details.
We understand things happen in life and sometimes you have to cancel or change your bike tour. We want to make it as easy as possible to do so and below you will find our timeline. If you ever have a question, just give us a call, 866 464 8735. Read our cancellation policy.
Didn't find what you were looking for? Check out our General FAQs section. You will find answers to all the most common questions that don't necessarily pertain to a specific trip.
We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the trip start, which will enable you to adjust to the time zone and minimize the risk of missing the trip start due to flight-related delays. We recommend that you fly into Paris (CDG) or Geneva (GVA). From Paris' Gare de Lyon, trains depart daily for Annecy with a travel time of 4-5 hours. The train journey from Geneva to Annecy takes 1-1/2 to 2 hours. However, train options and times are somewhat limited to and from Geneva and can sometimes present more logistical challenges. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the Geneva airport to Annecy for approximately 100 euros or a bus for 20 euros. Please consult www.SNCF.com
The trip ends in Grenoble and we recommend booking your return flight from Paris (CDG) or Lyon (LYS). Trains run from Grenoble to both Paris and Lyon. Please consult www.SNCF.com or speak with our travel agent for current train schedules.

I have to give a quick recommendation to the readers out there that have been toying with the idea of learning a little classical Chinese: Chinese Texts. It's actually more fun than you might expect.
Via Sinoscism, which offers this introduction:
This course is intended for people who would like to learn how to read classical Chinese philosophy and history as expeditiously as possible. The professor is a specialist in early Chinese history. He is not a linguist, and offers no more discussion of grammatical particles and structures than is strictly necessary.
This may be true, but I find many of the grammatical explanations rather linguisticky. I don't mind (and I'm sure they could be a lot more abstruse). I like how supplementary grammar examples given are short, to the point, and interesting.
Here's an example:
而 ér
This is one of the most common words in classical Chinese. It links phrases, not nouns. "And" or "but" is often a satisfactory translation. However, often the phrase preceding 而 is subordinate, so it should be translated as a participle indicating modification. Thus, in the first sentence of the Mencius, the King of Liáng says 不遠千里而來 "[You] came, not considering a thousand miles too far." In such cases the first phrase describes a condition or background to the second, as in the English sentence "Peter, fully knowing the danger, entered the room." In other cases the two phrases are co-ordinate, and the second phrase simply narrates what follows (from) the first.
This is also one of those little bits of classical Chinese that will help sophisticate your modern Chinese. We cover 而 on the Chinese Grammar Wiki in a number of patterns.
Another great example of classical Chinese common in written Chinese:
以 yĭ
This character was originally a verb meaning "to take, to take up, to grab onto." Thus "X 以 noun verb" would mean "X takes or grasps the noun and verbs," hence "X uses noun to verb." Thus 以口言 "speaks with the mouth (口 kŏu)," or 以心知 "knows with the heart/mind (心 xīn)."
以 also precedes verbs, in which case it usually acts as a conjunction meaning "in order to." Thus 出門以見日 "to go out the door in order to see (見 jiàn) the sun," 溫古以習之 "to review ancient times in order to become familiar with them."
One of the most common uses of 以 is in the phrase 以為 "to take and make, take and use as, take and regard as." This phrase can also be divided to form 以 A 為 B, "to take A and make it into B, use it as B, regard it as B." As the translations suggest, this action can be either physical—to take some object or substance and make it into something—or mental—to regard something as being something else. Thus 以木為門 "to take wood (木 mù) and make a gate," 王以天下為家 "The king regards the whole world (天下 tiān xià) as his household (家 jiā)," 孔子以國為小 "Confucius considered the state to be small (小 xiăo)," 吾以為子不知之 "I thought that you didn't know it." This use of 以為, both as a unit and as separate words, is still common in modern Chinese.
(You can find 以 on the Chinese Grammar Wiki as well, of course.)
I'm just starting this online course (my education in classical Chinese is still spotty and very incomplete), but it came highly recommended by a friend, and what I've read so far I've enjoyed a lot.

Martha A West Dora Cemetery
I took a new photo for you today of Martha A West tombstone. I had taken photos of the entire cemetery in 2009 and they were a mess! So today I rephotographed the entire cemetery. Thought you might want to see her stone. Frances

Josephine Cummins Dennie
Shirley, Josephine is the daughter of Jones and Harriet Stringer Cummins. She was my great-grandfather's sister. She was one of 12 children they had. My g-grandfather's name was Octave Cummins and he is buried in Huntington WV. His wife, Hattie Chandler Cummins is buried there at Liberty cemetary. I have several relatives buried there and also my headstone is in place there on the family plot. You mentioned that you were not sure why the name was spelled Dennie, going thru all of my great aunt's research, I find that the named is spelled Dennie in all her work from the 50's and 60's. Josephine was her aunt. I have a lot of Cummins info if you get into them. Cheers/Mike Braley

The Giants' No. 15 prospect struck out eight and allowed two hits over six innings Saturday night as Class A Augusta blanked Savannah, 1-0.
Crick kept the Sand Gnats out of the hit column until ZeErika McQueen doubled with one out in the fifth. He walked four and faced five batters over the minimum in his 12th start for the GreenJackets.
"I'd say fastball-curveball was working for me," Crick said. "I was just getting ahead of the count."
In three starts this month, the 19-year-old right-hander has allowed just an unearned run over 18 innings. Crick has given up only five hits while striking out 22 during that stretch.
"Fastball command and getting ahead of the batters," he said when asked what was the key. "I'm making them swing at pitchers' pitches."
Overall, Crick is 3-4, ranks sixth in the South Atlantic League with a 2.79 ERA and ninth with 73 strikeouts. The 49th overall pick in last year's Draft is hoping to get even better -- and he knows what he needs to do.
"Cut my walks in half and throw a lot more strikes," he said.
Michael Fullmer (4-4), the Mets' No. 8 prospect, fanned eight while allowing a run on two hits over six innings. Pitching in a game that many would describe as old-school was a fun experience for Crick.
"It was cool, real competitive," the Texas native said. "I knew the other starter, we were definitely competing against one another."
Steven Neff and Jacob Dunnington each contributed a hitless inning before Cody Hall pitched around a hit in the ninth to earn his 12th save.
Shawne Payne drew a two-out walk in the opening inning and scored the game's only run on a double by Ben Thomas, who went 2-for-4.
Savannah's Cam Maron was 2-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 16 games.

Same beat, same singer, two new rap feature verses. Joining Lloyd on the inevitable remix to the hit single, Get It Shawty, are fellow ATLien Big Boi and Inc. label mate, Ja Rule. Both verses are nothing more than meets the ear, which is good considering the star of the remix should remain Lloyd. Although the remix can't be found on Lloyd's most recent offering, Street Love, it hasn't stopped the album from selling almost 750,000 units domestically.

March of Dimes moves to A-State campus
Arkansas State University will host its first ever March of Dimes March for Babies 5K this Saturday beginning in front of the Student Union at 10 a.m.
The March for Babies is an annual fundraiser for the March of Dimes, an organization that raises money for premature birth awareness.
Zumba, bounce houses, food and other entertainment will be available to 5K participants and other supporters of the cause. Registration is free but donations are encouraged.
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, a national partner of March of Dimes organization, will also perform a step show at the event.
The event was held at Craighead Forest Park in previous years, but the move to A-State was "ideal" for the community, according to Holly Proffitt, chair of the office of recruitment for the March of Dimes.
"We wanted a more stroller friendly place since it's a family friendly event," Proffitt said. "We thought that this would be a great opportunity for students to get involved and would also be another way to showcase campus."
Rachel Guerin, Northeast Arkansas division director for March of Dimes said the move allowed the organization to reach a different segment of people it has never reached out to before: the students. She added there are several new teams.
"This event is the bread and butter of March of Dimes all over the nation," Guerin said. "It's the national March for Babies Day, and hundreds of thousands of people will walk or donate for babies that were lost or born prematurely."
According to the March for Babies website, the money raised supports programs in the community that helps moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies, and funds research to find answers as to why premature births happen.
"The event is held to raise money and to remember those who maybe didn't make it or are still struggling with the effects of (losing a premature child)," Proffitt said.
Over 180 teams have worked to raise money for the event.
"We have raised almost $35,000, and that is just the money we have in hand," Proffitt said.
Teams turn in all of the money raised at the 9 a.m. registration Saturday morning.
"We are expecting to raise about $125,000," Proffitt said. "The overall goal is to raise $175,000, and we have the entire year and a lot of campaigns throughout the year to raise money for that goal."
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity has also helped with the event and fundraising.
"We are setting up the foundation of what it is here and establishing the first time it has ever been here," said Lance Smith, Alpha Phi Alpha member and board member for March of Dimes. "We are basically helping raise money and show awareness for premature children."
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m., and the 5K begins at 10 a.m. Supporters can go to marchforbabies.org to preregister, register a team or donate money.
"We are really excited to get ASU students involved and hope to have the event at ASU for years to come," Proffitt said. "It is really cool to see the students come together. I just want people to know it's a universal thing, and supporting March of Dimes is supporting each other and our future generation."

Louisiana's 6th Congressional District elections, 2014
← 2012
November 4, 2014
December 6, 2014
Bill Cassidy
Cook Political Report: Solid R[1]
Sabato's Crystal Ball: Safe R[2]
Louisiana is one of three states to use a blanket primary, or top-two system, which allows all candidates to run and all voters to vote but only moves the top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, to the general election. In Louisiana, the runoff general election on December 6, 2014, is only required if no candidate receives 50 percent or more of the primary vote. If the runoff election is not needed, the race is decided with the one election (acting as both the primary and the general election) on November 4, 2014.[4][5][6]
Heading into the election the incumbent is Bill Cassidy (R), who was first elected in 2008.
Louisiana's 6th Congressional District encompasses southcentral portions of the state. Point Coupee, WBR, EBR, Livingston, St. Helena, E Feldana, St. John, St. Charles, Assumption and Iberville parishes are included in the district.[7]
Note: Prior to the signature filing deadline, candidates will be added when Ballotpedia writers come across declared candidates. If you see a name of a candidate who is missing, please email us and we will add that name. As the election draws closer, more information will be added to this page.

It took John Heisz almost nothing to make this table saw: attach an un-modified circular saw to the bottom of a piece of plywood, slap on some legs, and build a fence. The fence is the most complicated part, and yet it's nothing more than a home-made clamp that pinches the rail when you turn the knob.
I wouldn't have though to accommodate the blade guard by cutting an oversize slot through the table. It's a clever idea that allows for a guard (one that only works when the blade isn't cutting) and makes it possible to remove the saw and use it in the normal manner. The downside of the oversize slot is that it creates opportunities for stock and offcuts to snag or fall through.
This saw was clearly thrown together—the legs are not even diagonally braced. Still, except for an on/off switch the important parts are all there. I assume Heisz used a zip tie or something to hold the switch on and activates the motor by plugging it in. It wouldn't take much to add a switched receptacle to the table and control the saw with a rocker switch.
That such a simple machine works shows how little one actually needs to rip stock. Seeing this sort of thing makes me wonder why so many companies make tables for routers but none (that I know of) make them for saws.

Albania was sealed off to foreigners for almost the entirety of the Cold War. With democracy came an influx of visitors from the rest of the world. No one knew quite what to expect. But getting to the pristine beaches of the Albanian Riviera is not an easy task.
While we love summer, we must admit that we've been looking forward to the days of football and beer, leaves crunching under our boots, and crackling fireplaces. And nowhere in the country does the fall season better than New England.
It was easy to see the spot had once been grand. I envisioned the well-heeled patrons sipping tea on its wide sweeping deck facing the sea, and a host of fashionably dressed ladies leaning over the balustrade to listen in on the conversations below.
"That was always one of my goals as a kid," Burkard said about making the cover of Surfer Magazine. "To be able to slowly climb the ranks, I felt like I finally made it."
Beach week in September is when I unplug from work demands. The work email and phone are turned off, and I let myself stop for a week. No logistics, no juggling of multiple priorities, no racing out the door. I put my umbrella in the sand, grab a pile of books and sit by the ocean.
Maybe it's their permissive attitude toward public nudity. Maybe they just understand that tan lines are as offensive as taking selfies on the shore. Whatever the reason, topless (not to mention full-on nude) beaches in Europe are plentiful.
For years, Virginia Beach, like many beachfront resort communities, was better known for fun food like burgers, fries, and ice cream than it was for award-winning cuisine. But that's changing thanks to a thriving culinary scene driven in large part by a serious commitment to locally sourced food.
Litke's S/S '15 fashion show at the Great Jones Street Gallery combined mod looks from the 1960's, especially those in The Happy Island (1972), with the quilted patterns of American rustic.
What makes the ninth month No. 1 for travelers on a budget? The combination of lingering summer weather, a sharp drop-off in leisure travel, lower flight prices and smaller crowds at just about every tourist hot spot makes September the month with the most.

I remember when it started. A year and a half ago my husband walked into my office and said, 'Guess what? My brother just e-mailed me and he thought it would be a great idea if we had another family reunion. What do you think? They're looking at some place in California.'
For me, seeing a person in an image makes it more memorable because it tells a greater story than a landscape ever could. It also adds cultural reference.
There is nothing better than warm, green waters, tropical deserted beaches and the perfect sunset. Monte Cristi, Santo Domingo offers all of this, and so much more!
Detroit is probably the only city with a beach, lounge chairs, a full-on beach bar, grassy amphitheater, painted pianos, basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, a ping pong table, a foosball table and food trucks all in the central downtown park.
All summer books are not created equal, and neither are the beaches we read them on.
Don't linger. Just like a hotel has to turn over and clean the room for the next guests, most likely so do your hosts. Agree well in advance when you're coming and when you're leaving and stick to plan. Know when to say, "adios, amigos!"

The now famous tussle between Google and the Chinese government over censorship has brought to the fore another issue that poses an equal, if not greater, threat to Internet freedom.
The bug, often referred to as 'vulnerability' in the system, reared its ugly head and got the attention it deserved when Google pointed the finger at Microsoft's Internet Explorer (version 6-IE6) as a point of entry for hackers.
Quick to respond, Microsoft released a patch to plug the security hole. In no time, the international media were awash with reports of France, and then Germany and Australia, issuing advisories against using IE, and recommending shifting "temporarily" to other browsers.
Now, Microsoft has reported another vulnerability that affects Windows XP users. According to its February 3 advisory, this allows hackers to host a website and (or) access your data.
Browser wars may appear pitched around better performance or speed. However, given the number of software creepy-crawlies on the prowl, perhaps the most secure browser wins. Predictably, within days of the advisories, browsers Firefox and Opera (which carry the legacy of the Free Software or Open Source world) recorded a massive surge in downloads: Mozilla recorded 3,00,000 extra downloads, while Opera downloads doubled over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has reiterated that the vulnerabilities are restricted to IE6. It insists that the old browser, which came free with its hugely popular Windows XP operating system that powers a large portion of home and office PCs, is long due for retirement. In an email response to The Hindu, Microsoft has said its latest release, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), is safe and recommends "immediate" upgrade, adding IE8 has a smart screen filter, private browsing (so browsing history is, indeed, a secret) and accelerators for better speed. January reports by NetApplications even saw IE8 overtaking IE6 in market share. However, its latest advisory points to a flaw in Windows XP, irrespective of the IE version you are on.
So is upgrading really the answer? Free Software advocates will point out that GNU/Linux-based operating systems (Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian, to name a few) are the most secure options owing to their inherent architecture. But for those who may not wish to migrate to a different OS altogether, the best option is to check the entry point: your browser.

A new report from Juniper Research has found that with annual mobile operator expenditures now in excess of $800 billion, CSPs now face the possibility of costs exceeding revenues by the end of the decade unless remedial action is taken.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is expanding fast. Declining costs, improved coverage, more capable radio technologies, regulatory mandates and a growing range of successful applications and business models are all key drivers. And operators now have the opportunity to apply their operations and business support system experience.
Radisys® Corporation, has announced that Mahindra Comviva, has selected Radisys' T-40 Series Ultra Platform to deliver its Mobile Data Platform (MDP), consisting of Policy Control Enforcement Function (PCEF), Policy Charging & Rules Function (PCRF) and Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG), for its customer, a Tier1 Middle Eastern service provider. Radisys' T-40 standards-based, telecom-grade platform delivers increased reliability and high availability that enables Mahindra Comviva to collocate the entire MDP with PCEF, PCRF and MIG onto a single system, thereby reducing the cost, power and footprint. Mahindra Comviva will roll out the T-40 Ultra in Q4 2014.
InfoVista has announced the release of Mentum Planet 5.8, a new version of its software that enables mobile operators to automatically use live mobile network data to make well-informed, cost-efficient network planning and optimisation decisions.
EXFO has announced an enhanced FTTA test portfolio for its FTB-700G and FTB-800 NetBlazer Series to validate the fibre and underlying Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) communication integrity between the base station and remote radio head with speeds of up to 9.8 Gbit/s.
The latest edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, which uses data from live networks to uncover market trends, has revealed that proliferation of mobile technology continues at a rapid pace. The Report projects that 90% of the world's population over six years old will to have a mobile phone by 2020. By 2020 smartphone subscriptions are forecast to top 6.1 billion.
Huawei and JCDecaux SA, has announced a technical cooperation to combine both companies' core competencies and drive crowd-sourcing small cell deployment globally. By integrating JCDecaux's site resources and expertise in site design and installation into Huawei's small cell deployment project, telecom operators can address the challenge of acquiring suitable sites for small cell base stations, thereby enriching mobile services and enhancing the user experience.
ContentWise™, the personalisation, discovery and recommendations solution for digital TV content, has announced that Sky Italia has selected its discovery solution to power personalised recommendations for Sky Online™, Sky Italia's recently launched online video service. The ContentWise solution enables Sky Italia to offer subscribers of its Sky Online service an intuitive, personalised experience that combines discovery, content recommendations and viewing like never before. It will be deployed as part of a systems integration project managed by Ericsson.
Mobile Internet in 2020+. Data traffic in mobile communications networks and internet-enabled devices have increased significantly over recent years. Video and music streaming services, photo and movie downloads, as well as M2M applications, which consume more and more parts of everyday life and work, contribute to the steady increase of both Internet usage and broadband demand. For the real economy mobile Internet plays an increasingly important role: thus an excellent telecommunications infrastructure is necessary for a well-functioning economy and society.
NetCracker Technology and NEC Corp. has announced that Optus, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel), has selected them to deliver a comprehensive, multi-phased upgrade programme.
SaskTel, a Canadian full-service CSP, has successfully deployed the Openwave Mobility's Smart User Repository (SUR) on its network in order to unify and simplify management of its subscriber data.
The world of connected devices is expanding before our eyes. Cisco is predicting 40 billion devices out there by 2020, which seems more and more likely with all the new and innovative products coming to market. But for the manufacturers looking to jump into the fray, the question is where to start?
