No. 08/639,220, abandoned, filed Apr. 26, 1996. The disclosures of application 09/580,091 and 08/639,220 are incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to fluted filter media, and in particular, to fluted filter media having flutes which minimize restriction across the filter.
2. Prior Art
Pleated filters which utilize filter media to remove contaminants from fluids are commonly known and take on many configurations.
A common problem with filters is inadequate filter surface area. Prior attempts to improve filtering surface area for a given filter volume have not been entirely successful. Pleated filters are commonly used which utilize a pleated filter media in an attempt to overcome this shortcoming. Although pleated filter material may increase the filter area, as the pleats are placed closer and closer together, thereby placing more and more filter media in a given volume, the pleats are pressed tighter and tighter together, thereby restricting the flow. This restriction may cause the velocity of flow to increase in order to pass through the filtering media, thereby increasing the pressure differential across the filter which may cause additional problems in the system.
Most permeable filter media does not provide structural support so that the filters require housings for supporting the filtering material. This increases manufacturing costs as well as the mass and size of the filter.
To improve restriction and provide increased media area, as well as filter efficiency, fluted filter configurations may be utilized. Fluted filters have the capability of increased media area per unit volume, as well as less restriction and substantially straight-through flow.
Although fluted filters provide improved flow characteristics and efficiency over prior filter designs, fluted filters have the possibility of greater efficiency and improved flow characteristics. The sealed upstream ends of flutes provide a substantial blockage of the flow, and when combined with the filter material, more than half of the available cross sectional area of the fluid flow is blocked. Filter designs which have greater cross sectional area transverse to the flow provide improved flow and restriction characteristics.
It can be seen that new and improved filters are needed which provide self support, improved restriction, improved flow characteristics, and greater efficiency. In particular, fluted filters should have a leading edge which provides less resistance and takes up less of the cross-sectional flow area than standard flute designs. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the filter media and the closed ends of the flutes at the upstream edge should be smaller than the opening area at the upstream edge of the flutes. Such improved filter designs should also be easily manufactured without undue additional steps. The present invention addresses these as well as other problems associated with filter designs.
The present invention is directed to a fluted filter device, and in particular, to fluted filter media with improved flow characteristics.
According to a first embodiment of the present invention, fluted filter media includes a fluting center sheet intermediate a top and bottom layer. It can be appreciated that the filter media may be wound or otherwise stacked so that only a single sheet need be attached to a fluting sheet, as adjacent layers will serve as either the top or bottom sheet of the next adjacent layer. In addition, the layers may be wound in a spiral configuration. Alternating ends of adjacent chambers formed by the fluted material are blocked on either the upstream or downstream side. The first embodiment has tapered flutes which widen from one end to the other. The fluted chambers having their upstream end closed widen to an open downstream end. Conversely, the downstream closed fluted chambers widen to an open upstream end.
It can be appreciated that with this configuration, the area of the filter media transverse to the upstream flow includes a large portion open to the chambers for receiving the flow. As the flow filters through the various filter material sheets, the filtered fluid passes through an enlarged downstream end as well. In this manner, the restriction due to the filter is substantially decreased over standard fluted filter materials. In addition, the percentage of bead material and the upstream edge of the filter sheets is substantially less than the open area receiving the upstream flow.
According to a second embodiment of the present invention, fluted filter media includes asymmetric flutes which have a substantially sharp peak and a widened trough. The area above the trough is open to the upstream flow. In this manner, the upstream openings at the edge of the filter media have a larger cross sectional area transverse to the flow than the area of the closed flutes and the upstream edge of the filter material. This configuration provides improved flow with greater filter efficiency and reduced restriction across the filter.
According to a third embodiment of the present invention, fluted filter media includes a crushed upstream edge providing for improved flow. According to the third embodiment, the leading edge of the filter media includes beads blocking alternating chambers of the filter flutes. The upstream edge of the bead and fluting sheet are angled so that a widened edge intercepts the flow and angles toward the downstream end. As the flow intercepts the upstream edge, only the leading sheeting edge contacts the upstream flow and the bead and fluting sheet angle rearward. With this configuration, the resistance and proportion of the filter media intercepting the upstream flow at the leading edge of the filter is reduced. Therefore, improved flow is attained which provides for increased efficiency and reduced restriction across the filter.
These and various other advantages and features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part hereof. However, for a better understanding of the invention, its advantages, and the objects obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to the accompanying descriptive matter, in which there is illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention.
In the drawings, wherein like reference letters and numerals designate corresponding elements throughout the several views:
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to
During filtration, unfiltered fluid enters the flute chambers 122 which have their upstream ends open, as indicated by the shaded arrows. Upon entering the flute chambers 122, the unfiltered fluid flow is closed off by the second end bead 126 at the downstream end. Therefore, the fluid is forced to proceed through the fluting sheet 108 or face sheets 110. As the unfiltered fluid passes through the fluting sheet 108 or face sheets 110, the fluid is filtered through the filter media layers, as indicated by the unshaded arrow. The fluid is then free to pass through the flute chambers 120, which have their upstream end closed and to flow out the open downstream end out the filter media 100. With the configuration shown, the unfiltered fluid can filter through the fluted sheet 108, the upper facing sheet 112 or lower facing sheet 114, and into a flute chamber 120 blocked on its upstream side.
Referring now to
As shown in

|So what do you guys think about this? Is it ok for a city to forcibly buy your property so they can sell it at a higher profit to a private business, and collect higher taxes for this? Where is the benefit to the people? Perhaps jobs? Perhaps lower prices on goods from Wal-Mart? Does that justify taking away someone's home? Would there be that great a benefit?

I have both systems. I custom made PC / Windows and two Macs (Im not bragging people ...and Im considered by my friends "a geek"
I'd have a lot of problems with Windows. Most of them had came from tweaking Windows but that's just me. Mac had failed me just once.
Boths systems have their pros and cons. What works for me, may not work for others. So there is a lot of talking when it comes to a comparison…
I hope in the future we get a savecircle version for windows..works great on a Mac

Kim Hwasang
Musang Kim Hwa-sang (無相 金和尚; Wu-hsiang, Chin ho shang, 684–762) was a Korean Ch'an master lived in Sichuan in China whose form a Zen teaching independent of East Mountain Teaching and Huineng.[1] His teachings were amongst the first streams of Ch'an Buddhist transmitted to Tibet.
Solonin (2005: unpaginated) links the Tangut people, the Helan Mountains and Baotang Wuzhu:
The origins of the Tangut Chan can be also traced deeper, than it was previously believed: information on Bao-tang Wu-zhu (保唐无住720~794) travels in North-Western China from the Notes on Transmitting the Dharma Treasure through Generations implies that at the period of 760's some sort of Buddhism was spread in the region of Helanshan, where the Tangut were already residing. Concerning the late 8th century Helanshan Buddhism, little can be said: the doctrines of the lu (律) school and the teaching of Sichuan Chan of Rev. Kim (金和尚) seem to be known there.[2]
Yün-Hua Jan (1986: pp.27–28) states:
Although Shen-hui has advanced the concept of no-thought in his teachings, the concept only remains as one of the principal doctrines. There are still a number of other ideas that are equally important in his thought. It was in the two schools of Ch'an Buddhism, developed in Shu state (presently Ssuchwan) that have given further attention to the concept. In fact these two schools made no-thought as the exclusive doctrine of their teachings. The one who initiated the development was Wu-hsiang (684-762), originally a native of the Silla kingdom in the Korean peninsula and more well-known in China as Monk Kim.[3]
Buswell (2005: p.191) states:
Such contacts between Chinese and Korean Buddhism are especially pronounced in the case of the Ch'an or Sŏn tradition of Sinitic Buddhism. Two of the earliest schools of Ch'an in China were the Ching-chung and Pao-t'ang, both centered in what was then the wild frontier of Szechwan in the southwest. Both factions claimed as their patriarch a Ch'an master of Korean heritage named Musang (Ch. Wu-hsiang; 684-762), who is better known to the tradition as Reverend Kim (Kim hwasang), using his native Korean surname. Musang reduced all of Ch'an teachings to the three phrases of "not remembering," which he equated with morality, "not thinking," with samādhi, and "not forgetting," with wisdom. Even after his demise, Musang's teachings continued to be closely studied by such influential scholiasts in the Ch'an tradition as Tsung-mi (780-841).[4]
Transmission of Ch'an to the Nyingmapa[edit]
Chinese Ch'an Buddhism was introduced to the Nyingmapa in three principal streams: the teachings of Master Kim, Kim Ho-shang, (Chin ho shang) 金和尚 transmitted by Sang Shi[5] in c750 CE; the lineage of Master Wu Chu, 無住 of the Pao T'ang School was transmitted within Tibet by Ye shes dbang po; and the teaching from Mo Ho Yen, 和尚摩訶衍 (Tibetan: Hwa shang Mahayana) that were a synthesis of the Northern School of Ch'an and the Pao T'ang School.[6]
Tibetan King Khri srong lde btsan (742–797) invited the Ch'an master Mo-ho-yen (whose name consists of the same Chinese characters used to transliterate "Mahayana") to transmit the Dharma at Samye Monastery. Mo-ho-yen had been disseminating Dharma in the Tun-huang locale, but lost an important philosophical debate on the nature of emptiness from the Indian master Kamalashila, and the king declared Kamalashila's philosophy should form the basis for Tibetan Buddhism.[7]
Ray (2005) holds that the first documented dissemination of Ch'an to Tibet, chronicled in what has become known as the Statements of the Sba Family, occurred in c761CE when Trisong Detsen sent a party to the I-chou region to receive teachings of Reverend Kim (Chin ho-shang), a Korean Ch'an master, whom they encountered in Szechwan. The party received teachings and three Chinese texts from Reverend Kim. Reverend Kim died soon after.[8]

Junk Food Responsible For One-Third Of Heart Attacks
Canadian scientists said Monday that more than one third of all heart attacks worldwide are caused by "Western" diets containing high amounts of meat, salt and fried foods.
Their research found that people who had diets based on meat, eggs and junk food were more likely to have heart attacks, while those who consumed more vegetables and fruits lowered their risk.
The study of 52 countries supports previous findings that animal fats and junk food can cause heart disease, especially heart attacks.
Dr. Salim Yusuf at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, and his team surveyed more than 16,000 patients, 5,700 of whom had just experienced their first heart attack. The researchers obtained blood samples and had each participant complete a detailed survey about their eating habits between February 1999 and March 2003.
The scientists then broke the participants into three groups.
"The first factor was labeled 'Oriental' because of its high loading on tofu and soy and other sauces," the scientists wrote in a report about the study.
"The second factor was labeled 'Western' because of its high loading on fried food, salty snacks, and meat intake. The third dietary factor was labeled 'prudent' because of its high loadings on fruit and vegetable intake."
Dr. Yusuf's team found that participants who consumed more fruits and vegetables lowered their risk of heart attack by 30 percent compared with those who ate little or none of these foods.
Furthermore, the group that ate a Western diet had a 35 percent greater risk of heart attack compared to those who consumed little or no meat and fried foods.
People eating an "Oriental" diet had an average risk of heart attack compared to the others. The researchers said the tofu-rich diet might be neutral rather than protective due to its high sodium content, which can raise blood pressure and the risk of stroke and heart attacks.
The study's findings are significant since it has not been clearly established whether food or some other cause was driving up the risk of heart attacks. For example, diets rich in fatty foods may be associated with a more affluent lifestyle that includes little or no exercise. The researchers noted, however, that it is not only the rich who suffer from heart disease.
"Approximately 80 percent of the global cardiovascular disease burden occurs in low- and middle-income countries," they wrote.
The study was published in the journal Circulation.

18.01.07 - Football mad Michael Sprott is putting his money where his mouth is - by backing his team Reading to reach the Champions League and himself to defeat Audley Harrison. The European Union heavyweight champion is as long as 11-2 to topple Harrison on February 17 at Wembley Arena. And his local team, the Royals, are even bigger odds to gatecrash the Premiership top four and qualify for the richest club tournament in the world. But Sprott has had a massive wager on the double of him winning and Reading doing the business - and is confident of netting tens of thousands of pounds..
" Reading have been the shock package of the top flight this season, and I'm the shock package of the heavyweight division," said Sprott.
" Harrison may have beaten Danny Williams, but one swallow doesn't make a summer, and I can't understand why the bookies are so in love with him.
" People forget I've gone to Germany - the hardest place to get a decision - and won two titles, while all Harrison has done so far is beat up on an under-prepared fighter coming to the end of his career.
" He didn't perform when he fought Danny Williams the first time, he didn't perform against Dominick Guinn and he won't perform against me."
Former British and Commonwealth champion Sprott, 32, also had a tongue in cheek dig at Sylvester Stallone for backing Premiership big boys Everton against Reading on Sunday.
" Because of Rocky, I always thought that Sly backed the underdog, and he should really have been cheering for Reading," said Sprott.
" But I know he'll be supporting me against Harrison, because although I've had some ups and downs in my career, unlike Audley, I always come out fighting."
Harrison-Sprott tops the Wembley Arena bill, with Graham Earl's WBO interim lightweight title fight against Michael Katsidis chief support. Amir Khan is also in action, alongside Ross Minter, Eddie Corcoran, Tommy Saunders, Don Broadhurst and debutants Vinny Mitchell and Derek Chisora.

GeForce FX 5200, DVI, 1920x1080, Linux
Hi All,
I recently purchased a Sparkle GeForce FX 5200 and have been trying to get it to display in 1920x1080 under Vector Linux 5.8.
I have tried the following
(1) Four new Samsung monitors 23, 21, 24 and 27 (I'm currently at 27")
(2) Replaced the video card (based on recommendation from Sparkle that the DVI connector may be bad)
(3) Tried the video card in Windows 2000
(4) Tried all versions of the nVidia drivers including Sparkles' and the default nv Linux driver.
I can get 1980x1020 no problem with VGA, but with DVI can only achieve 1440x900.
I know there has been a lot of discussion about this card but I have not seen a definitive answer. Is there a way to get 1980x1020 with DVI and Linux or should I just move on.
Re: GeForce FX 5200, DVI, 1920x1080, Linux
you said you tried win2k.
What was the result there? Could you display in 1080p?
Are you sure the DVI port is dual link and can support such a resolution? Are you siure your cable is? Your experiments so far point to a single link DVI port (max of 1440x900).
Re: GeForce FX 5200, DVI, 1920x1080, Linux
I'm not sure about the dual versus single link port, I read the documentation and the card is supposed to support 1920x1080 (this was even said by the Sparkle tech support).
I think for the time I spend so far I'm just going to simply upgrade to a 6200LE, it seems people have had much better luck with this card.
With Win2K I could only get 1600x1200.
Re: GeForce FX 5200, DVI, 1920x1080, Linux
Based on everything I read on this forum I return the Sparkle FX 5200 card and replaced it with a PNY nVidia 6200 512MB.
I installed the 195.36.24 nVidia drivers and right and have 1920x1080 using the DVI cable with absolutely no fiddling.

Scanpan® IQ Nonstick Skillets
Unlike most nonstick cookware, which relies on a coating, Green Tek™ nonstick cooking surface is created by firing a ceramic-titanium compound into the pan at 36,000°F and twice the speed of sound. The ceramic-titanium particles briefly liquefy and permanently anchor themselves to the pan. A specially formulated nonstick compound is then embedded in the surface, ensuring a lifetime of use without peeling or interacting with food.
Scanpan IQ features a unique casting technique that integrates the optimized induction base with the aluminum core of the pan. This ensures optimum heat distribution for perfect results in record time. Soft-grip, stay-cool handle is made of durable silicone.
Whether you're making an omelet for one or pancakes for the whole family, you'll find the perfect skillet for the job. Great for everything from sautéing vegetables to searing steak, as well as making bacon, burgers, grilled sandwiches and more.

As customers browsed through the rack of soft cotton tees featuring graphic prints at a pop-up event organised by Bandra-based Kulture Shop, they heard a voice whisper, "Go ahead. Touch it". It was the voice of graphic artist Kunal Anand, co-founder of the design studio Kulture Shop. He was trying to get people to break their inhibitions about good art. According to him, art could be touched and felt. It was a slightly unusual tactic but it certainly got customers talking about the tees and more importantly, about the graphic artwork on them. For a design studio that believes in "always keeping up a conversation", that was enough.
Bandra connect
The studio's location in Bandra is conducive to everything Kulture Shop is trying to be and they are beyond thrilled to cater to the suburb's varied tastes. The studio has everyone from Bandra aunties to photographers and architects walking in. "This place has a certain energy that has sparked up in the last two years. Creativity is blossoming in all fields, be it exhibitions, art or food," says Anand.
Talking graphic
A design studio cum showroom, Kulture Shop, founded by Arjun and Jas Charanjiva, Rajeev Sathe and Anand, broke into the design scene a year back. "We want to represent and champion India's leading graphic artists," says Anand, who is also the creative director and is in charge of curating the artists. They curate and retail limited edition prints and t-shirts of the 15 graphic artists currently working with them. "We wanted to create a community of graphic artists and get them talking to each other and to the people who buy their work."
Conversations matter a lot at the Kulture Shop. They encourage people to walk in and initiate conversations with strangers about the graphic art on display at the studio. They also hold events where they get the artists to interact with the people buying their work.
They have shelf space dedicated to magazines like Motherland, design books and music CDs by independent artistes. They retail out of their studio and have an online site that delivers worldwide.
Getting eventful
They also host pop up events at NH7 Weekender, Sula Winefest, etc. where their prints and tees are quite the talking point. It is a given because Kulture Shop takes their work very seriously–the monthly themes are decided a year in advance and Anand ensures he has conversations with the artists to guide them on how best to develop their work. "There is an eight-level curation process and we try and champion the artist as much as we can," he says. The artists are brought in on every discussion related to their work, and are even sent pictures of their t-shirts in the process of being printed. Every artwork bears their name, details of the theme and a little bit about the art.
Once a month, the Kulture Shop has events where the studio turns into a gallery displaying works related to the theme of the month. There are drinks and snacks and soft music and lots of 'non-stuffy' discussions about art. "It is all about taking art out of the galleries and making it more fun," says Phalguni Desai, in charge of events. Last month's theme was 'Welcome to the future' and involved the artists' own thoughts about what they foresaw in their future. This month's theme is street art.

Staff are extremely friendly, smiley and fluent in English. The only drawback I can think about is the breakfast price: 27 euro for a mediocre fare is, well, unfare. Food was good though.

The staff was extremely gracious and friendly, spoke exceptional English, and were of a quality you would expect from a four star hotel. While nearly all hotel rooms in Paris are small compared with those in the US, the space was certainly adequate and comfortable. We asked for and received a view of the Eiffel Tower and the Dome of the Invalides from our small but convenient balcony. Breakfast was too expensive for our budget (26 euros/person), but the hotel's location afforded numerous options (including an adjacent gas station with a convenience store that sold all the necessities and many treats). Of course, the patisseries and brasseries all around the area provided meal variety and quality. The hotel's location was within walking distance to many sights - in fact, we never had to get on the Metro, and could walk everywhere we went, a great way to really learn the city. While the K+K Cayre was a little pricey, we felt it was worth it to ensure a comfortable stay - and they did not disappoint!

We stayed here for 3 nights for our honeymoon in a standard room. It was fantastic and I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the hotel is in a great location. The Shell garage next to the hotel is a cost effective source of drinks, wine and snacks etc. We didn't get their expensive breakfast and got take away from the bakery across the road. Paris is very expensive but this hotel was excellent value for money.

Very nice hotel but expensive. Room was slightly bigger than usual for Paris. Bed very comfortable. Decor well done. Bthrm excellent. Lobby area good but smaller than in photos. Bar prices very expensive (min. 6.50 euros for a beer). Breakfast also VERY expensive @ 26 Euros; excellent buffet but we found great croissants, fruit & coffee around the corner for a fraction of the price. Great location at intersections of blvd St Germain and blvd Raspail. Too bad it costs this much to get same level of room size, service & location in Paris, as anything in a big N. American city at 30-40% less.

22.07.05 - In what promises to be a heart-stopping thriller, all-action television favorite Oscar El Torito Diaz, 21-1 (11), will face all-action television favorite Emanuel Augustus, 31-24-6 (16), on August 26 at the Thunderbird Wild West Casino in Norman, Oklahoma and televised live on ESPN2s Friday Night Fights. The two super lightweights will headline a rock em sock em night of Duva Boxing in association with Holden Productions professional boxing.
Boxing fans, make sure you are in front of your televisions on the night of Friday, August 26, said promoter Dino Duva. Oscar and Emanuel are both cut from the same cloth. They cant help but be electrifying. Theyre going to the Wild West to put on an old-school gunfight for the ages.
At just 22 years old, Oscar Diaz has already established himself as a true warrior with tremendous heart and determination. Although he possesses a complete range of technical boxing skills and has a formidable amateur pedigree, the rougher things get, the more El Torito seems to like it.
The flamboyant 30-year-old Augustus is deservedly known the world over as the Best Fighter In Boxing with 24 Losses. For the past ten years, he has made his living by facing nearly every notable contender in his weight class (usually in their backyard) and always giving fans a memorable and exciting performance. In his last outing, he put perennial contender Ray Oliveira into retirement with a dazzling mix of showboating and slugging, on his way to a TKO 8.
The Diaz/Augustus shootout could well be contested for the Texas State super lightweight title, as both fighters are natives of the Lone Star State. Diaz hails from San Antonio, while Augustus is from Brownsville.
Anyone who knows boxing knows that this fight cant miss, continued Duva. Its going to be a battle of attrition between two of the toughest fighters in the sport. Its a fight that had to be made and were happy to be bringing it to ESPN2s viewers and the Thunderbird Wild West Casino.

Rivers crest across Midwest; more rain in forecast
"What we're worried about now is all that snow melt in North and South Dakota and Minnesota," Keith said.
AccuWeather meteorologist Alan Reppert said it may stay cold long enough up north to make for a gradual melt, giving the rivers time to thin out. Of greater concern, he said, is the Red River in North Dakota, which could see significant flooding in the coming weeks.
Along the Mississippi, a handful of river towns are most affected by the high waters - places like Clarksville, Mo., and Grafton that have chosen against flood walls or levees.
By Sunday, sandbagging had all but stopped in Clarksville, evidence of the confidence that the makeshift levee hurriedly erected to protect downtown would hold.
The river was at 34.7 feet Sunday, nearly 10 feet above the 25-foot flood stage - a somewhat arbitrary term the National Weather Service defines as the point when "water surface level begins to create a hazard to lives, property or commerce" - and expected to rise another foot before cresting Monday.
"We believe we'll have a successful conclusion," said Jo Anne Smiley, longtime mayor of the 442-resident hamlet.
Richard Cottrell, a 64-year-old antique shop owner, was hopeful, but nervous. After two days of sandbagging, Cottrell thought he could rest Saturday night, but the constant beeping of heavy equipment outside and flood worries kept him up.
"I had a rough night last night. I had an anxiety attack," he admitted.
Many towns on smaller rivers in other states were dealing with floodwaters, too.
In Indiana, high water was topping levees in the Terre Haute area. Vigo County Emergency Management Agency Deputy Director J.D. Kesler said late Sunday afternoon the barriers haven't failed yet but that some evacuations will be necessary if levees fail in the western Indiana county.
In Grand Rapids, Mich., Mayor George Heartwell declared a state of emergency as the flooding Grand River poured into the basements of several hotels and other downtown buildings.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn declared at least 44 counties disaster areas from flooding. The Fox River in northern Illinois reached record levels, and several record crests were possible along the Illinois River.
Salter reported from St. Louis.

Teheran, Vizcaino to play in Futures Game
Julio Teheran and Arodys Vizcaino have been selected to represent the Atlanta Braves in the Futures Game during the All-Star break.
Everyone knows the Braves have plenty of promising young pitching (already four rookies have made starts this year and another one is a co-closer) and the two guys with the most potential will be playing for the World team on July 10th.
Teheran, who was in the game last year has already made a couple starts at the Major League level and is flat out dominating in AAA. With a 1.83 ERA and 68 strikeouts compared to 18 walks, Teheran has confirmed his position as the top pitching prospect in baseball by dominating AAA hitters at just 20 years old.
Vizcaino has had a terrific season as well in the minor leagues. Acquired from the Yankees in the Javier Vazquez trade, his prospect ranking had fallen some due to injury issues. This year, he has stayed healthy and made 13 starts between High-A Lynchburg and AA Mississippi (the majority in Lynchburg). Another 20 year old, Vizcaino has a 2.86 ERA and 3.56 K/BB ratio on the year.
Teheran and Vizcaino could get a chance to face the top position player prospects in baseball as Mike Trout and Bryce Harper are both on the US team.
While the Braves have a number of promising pitchers still in the system (Randall Delgado is the first who comes to mind) Teheran and Vizcaino have the most potential and could one day occupy the top two slots in the Braves rotation.
Braves have signed a number of Draft Picks
Not long after the MLB draft the Braves have already signed a number of their draft picks. Both the GCL and Rome Braves have kicked off their seasons and have a number of new players to the organization.
The Braves have signed 11 of their top 15 picks this year, and three of those who haven't signed were/still are playing in the College World Series.
Sean Gilmartin, the Braves first round pick out of Florida State, has yet to sign but should soon with the Seminoles being eliminated. Many have compared him to Mike Minor as a polished lefty who could rapidly rise through the system but doesn't have the high ceiling some other first round picks do.
Mark Lamm and Navery Moore (6th and 14th round) are both relievers at Vanderbilt who should sign after the conclusion of the CWS.
The Braves 11th round pick, Seth Morando, is a high school player who has committed to Fresno State and may not sign unless the Braves offer over-slot money.

Never let the world or anyone rob you of the beauty of romance. It is in the heart and is what drives us to awaken each day.
Ive tried match before as a way to meet new people and date. Ive decided to give it another shot and maybe find someone to share something more meaningful.If you are looking for someone based on physical attraction alone, forget it. Once the newness wears off in any relationship there has to be some other "glue" to keep you together. Its not a physical thing for me. Personality, a GREAT sense of humor, and smarts outweigh anything else you may have to offer. I love conservative men, although, I do have a bit of a wild side and am totally a free spirit, when appropriate of course!!! Im looking for "the" person just like everyone. I just want one! My favorite thing to do with a man is to have a great time laughing and being able to just let go. Someone who appreciates and respects me is a must. A positive attitude is so important! Everything you say has an energy that follows you good or bad.... I am an eclectic person who is open to new adventures, although I thirst for sameness and tradition with someone at the same time. Traveling and seeing new things excites me! I wish I could do more of it! I am looking for a friendship and more, where we compliment each other and bring out the best in each other. I am willling to do what I can to make the person Im with veryyyyy happy! I believe it's a joint effort. You have the option of making every situation what you want it to be. Its all in the attitude... I hope I can find someone who has the spirit, openmindedness and abilitly to mesh with me.If you are someone who is real, can make me laugh, and have a dynamic personality, then I think we should talk! :)

I am very openminded. I like everything.I like crowded places, and I like cozy times at home too, I think when you find someone you connect with you will be able to read each other and know when the time is right for whatever.
my favorite color is red...i really like to read a good book outside when the weather is nice, spread a blanket out on the lawn and soak in the sun. I enjoy simple things.
I love to have fun! I enjoy people who have mastered the art of being themselves and are secure with just that. I love to bellydance, make jewelry, and be around good people!! Life is too short to take yourself too seriously!!

Benefits fight brings lesbian couple to high court
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White handed Cunninghis and Golinski an unequivocal victory in February, finding that anti-gay sentiment motivated Congress to pass DOMA.
In ordering the government to allow Golinski to enroll her wife in a family health plan, White rejected all of the House group's arguments, including that the law was necessary to foster stable unions among men and women.
A group of 10 U.S. senators who voted for DOMA in 1996 have filed a brief with the Supreme Court angrily denouncing the judge's opinion and urging the high court to overturn it.
"It is one thing for the District Court to conclude that traditional moral views, standing alone, do not justify the enactment of DOMA; it is quite another to find that legislators who hold or express such moral views somehow taint the constitutionality of the statute," they said.
Former U.S. Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Edwin Meese also weighed in, telling the court that Obama had failed in his duty and set a dangerous precedent by declining to defend DOMA.
As a result of White's ruling, Cunninghis was allowed in March to be added to Golinski's health plan.
Golinski so far is the only gay American who has been allowed to begin receiving federal benefits while DOMA remains in effect, a development that could be reversed if the Supreme Court upholds DOMA.
Until then, the couple said they are going to trust that the tide of history is moving toward gay rights.
"It seems so simple to us: just put me on the family health plan," Cunninghis said. "It's much bigger than that obviously, yet it isn't."

March 5: Peru's tax authority (SUNAT) posted to its website a draft resolution setting forth proposed requirements for taxpayers to file a transfer pricing study along with a transfer pricing affidavit (declaración jurada informativa) for the 2012 tax year.
SUNAT has requested comments concerning the draft resolution. Comments are due on or before 8 March 2013, when the final resolution is scheduled to be officially published.
If no changes are made to the draft resolution following the comment period, the new rules would apply to formal transfer pricing requirements for fiscal year 2012. Thus, in practice, companies would not only need to prepare and preserve their transfer pricing technical studies for 2012, but also file them—together with their transfer pricing affidavits—by 1 June 2013.
In general, the proposed changes to the transfer pricing study and reporting requirements relate to amendments to the income tax law in June 2012 and related amendments to the income tax regulations in December 2012. These income tax changes were effective 1 January 2013.
The new measures apply transfer pricing standards to transactions with related parties and individuals who are residents in tax havens, subject to certain monetary thresholds.
The proposed resolution is viewed as being consistent with the 2012 legislative and regulatory changes to Peru's transfer pricing rules, and would correct certain technical issues, such as one that would require taxpayers to conduct studies of transactions for which there were no tax effects or "immaterial" transactions (i.e., those under the minimum amount standard for the offshore transactions).
