3-day former Celtics reunion tour ends in Brooklyn
|12.13.13 at 8:40 am ET
The three-day former Celtics reunion tour ended Thursday night in Brooklyn, where Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett led their Nets to a 102-93 victory against Doc Rivers' Clippers, and naturally it was a mutual love-fest.
Quotes courtesy of the New York Post.
Pierce: "I grew under him. I was a young player, played nine years with him, just continued to mature and become a better all-around player under him. Before I was really known as a scorer; now when he took over he taught me the other parts of the game, the defense, the rebounding, the passing, just helped my game grow and mature."
Garnett: "He taught us a lot about not just basketball and the philosophies of it, but about being a young man, a young black man, understanding your responsibilities, because we were starting our families. [He's] just overall a great model. No one's perfect, all humans have their flaws or whatever; but shoot, he's damn near close to it. I'm just grateful he came into my life and that I had that experience to him."
Those two remarks offer a reminder of the one significant difference between Rivers and new Celtics coach Brad Stevens. Doc is revered by veterans. Those who know Rivers love and respect him, and those who don't hear stories from the ones who do. That helps when a team is trying to lure high-profile players. Stevens may get there one day, but it takes years to develop that type of cache, and that's what the C's will miss most in Rivers' absence.

With over 200,000 new cases and 40,000 deaths per year, breast cancer undoubtedly qualifies as one of Americas most serious health problems. Recently, efforts to develop early detection methods and more effective therapy have made important progress. This is particularly true at the molecular level, where discoveries on protein expression have translated into new diagnostic tests and targeted therapies. An example is the finding that tumors expressing estrogen receptors (so called ER+ tumors) tend to respond to tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator. Conversely, ER tumors tend to respond better to chemotherapy and not to tamoxifen. Another revolutionary example is that of Her-2/neu protein (also called c-erbB2), which is overexpressed in approximately 2530% of breast cancers. With herceptin (trastuzumab) and other preferential medications available to treat these patients, the need has emerged for routine laboratory methods to detect Her-2/neu overexpression. A wide array of tools has arrived to fulfill this purpose.
Human cells normally carry and express two copies of Her-2/neu, which is located on chromosome 17 and encodes a cell-surface receptor for epidermal growth factor. Like many growth factor receptors, Her-2/neu functions as a tyrosine kinase and moves cells forward on the cell cycle, which involves DNA replication and cell division. Her-2/neu therefore falls into the class of proto-oncogenes. A key discovery is that some 2530% of breast cancers carry amplifications (multiple copies) of the Her-2/neu gene, which lead to overexpression of Her-2/neu protein. The over-abundance of Her-2/neu receptor accelerates the cell cycle and causes cells to divide more rapidly and haphazardly. This explain why Her-2/neu overexpression is associated with more rapid tumor growth and a worse prognosis.

1. Field of The Invention
The present invention relates to a novel catalyst structure and the process for the preparation of nitric acid employing the structure.
2. Relevant Art
Nitric acid is made by oxidizing ammonia over a wire mesh gauze catalyst produced by weaving wires of precious metals (e.g. platinum, Ostwald process) and their alloys. The process operates at temperatures from 800� to 1100� C. The hot nitric oxide formed is quenched and air is added so the nitric oxide oxidizes to NO2 (nitrogen (IV) oxides) which reacts with water to form nitric acid. The wire mesh gauze is alloyed to increase high temperature strength and to reduce costs. Typically, platinum is used as the primary catalyst and is alloyed with ruthenium to improve high temperature strength and palladium to reduce costs. The prior art in the nitric acid process, determined that a mass of catalytic material, e.g., platinum was necessary because of the continual erosion of the platinum by volatilization.
Ammonia oxidation catalysts for nitric acid production are based on precious metal fine wires woven together on a loom into the form of a gauze. The typical gauze contains 1.78 troy ounces of platinum or precious metal alloy per square foot. For some plants as many as 27-30 of these gauzes each 60 to 120 inches in diameter may be stacked. These gauzes will last for six weeks to a year depending on the severity of use (high pressure versus low pressure) and can fail for as variety of reasons including burn through (caused by channeling or difficult start up) and loss of platinum metal due to volatilization.
The conventional catalysts are fragile and lose platinum at high temperature via PtO2 volatilization. Other gauzes (getter gauzes) are used downstream to capture the volatile platinum species through a collection and reduction process.
The gauze catalysts are composed of screens with 3 to 30 stacked screens used. A high pressure oxidation process requires more screens and results in higher losses of platinum metal. This stacked screen configuration is dimensionally unstable in that it expands and sags and allows non-uniform flow and temperature distribution and poor mixing.
Fine wires are desired for improved catalyst performance but result in poor physical integrity and reduced life. The problems with the platinum metal alloy gauzes begin at start-up. It has been concluded that this reaction carried out over precious metal mesh is mass transfer limited. Most gauze reactors are over designed in terms of the number of gauzes. The over design is required to compensate for poor utilization of catalyst due to poor flow distribution. Poor flow distribution due to non uniformity and low pressure drop causes "flickering", a condition in which increased flow through a gauze section can release more heat. These high temperature "hot spots" can lose platinum as the oxide at the higher temperature. The non uniformity and low pressure drop of gauzes gives rise to additional loss of efficiency if the gases are not thoroughly mixed, as little additional mixing is achieved by the gauze catalyst structure.
One attempt to solve the platinum loss is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,863,893. Another approach is described by Robert J. Farrauto and Hgo C. Lee in "Ammonia Oxidation Catalyst with Enhanced Activity", Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. Vol. 29, No. 7, 1990, pages 1125-1129 where high surface area is obtained by depositing platinum from solution on the platinum alloy gauze.
Ceramics and many metals are strong, resistant to corrosion, resistant to relatively high temperatures and would generally be desirable as structural materials in the nitric acid process and may be used in various components. Conventional ceramics were not suitable because of insufficient porosity and an insufficient quantity of platinum to allow for volatilization loss.
In several full size industrial reactors reticulated ceramic foam structures have been successfully tested as a flow distributor, thermal radiation guard and physical support. These guard beds have been shown to improve the life of the gauze and performance and to withstand the harsh chemical environment and high reaction temperature. The foams can be produced in a variety of cell densities with the most common being in the range of 10 to 70 pores per linear inch.
Reticulated ceramics and metals have been employed as filters, scrubbers, packing supports and more recently in automobile catalytic exhaust converters. The reticulated ceramics were initially developed for filtration of molten metals.
Various reticulated ceramic structures are described in the art: U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,239 discloses flutted filter of porous ceramic having increased surface area; U.S. Pat. No. 4,568,595 discloses reticulated ceramic foams with a surface having a ceramic sintered coating closing off the cells; U.S. Pat. No. 3,900,646 discloses ceramic foam with a nickel coating followed by platinum deposited in a vapor process; U.S. Pat. No. 3,957,685 discloses nickel or palladium coated on a negative image ceramic metal/ceramic or metal foam; U.S. Pat. No. 3,998,758 discloses ceramic foam with nickel, cobalt or copper deposited in two layers with the second layer reinforced with aluminum, magnesium or zinc; U.S. Pat. No. 4,863,712 discloses a negative image reticulated foam coated with cobalt, nickel or molybdenum coating; U.S. Pat. No. 4,308,233 discloses a reticulated ceramic foam having an activated alumina coating and a noble metal coating useful as an exhaust gas catalyst; U.S. Pat. No. 4,253,302 discloses a foamed ceramic containing platinum/rhodium catalyst for exhaust gas catalyst; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,088,607 discloses a ceramic foam having an active aluminum oxide layer coated by a noble metal containing composition such as zinc oxide, platinum and palladium.
Catalyst sites for precious metals are maximized by deposition of small crystallites, usually from solution. The use of chlorination to produce precious metal solutions is universal. Many catalysts are produced from these chloride solutions via hydrolysis or precipitation and in some cases by drying and thermal reduction. In all these cases there are residual halides.
Certain gaseous species can adsorb so strongly that they tie up the sites preventing catalysis or in some cases the adsorbed species react with the surface sites to form new chemical compounds which may undergo structural (chemical and physical) change. Examples of these type of poisons are SO2, Cl2, H2 S, I2, F2, etc.
Improved catalysts have previously been found which are prepared from chloride free solutions. Examples are nitrates of palladium and rhodium and the hexa hydroxy platinates and platinum sulfito complexes.
It is an advantage of the present invention to provide an improved catalyst for ammonia oxidation with increased performance (yield and selectivity), longer life and with greatly reduced costs by depositing metallic catalysts on ceramic or metallic structures, which are better able to withstand upsets and not result in burn through.
It is a further advantage that the reticulated structure provides high surface area and uniform and controllable porosity. These properties give excellent gas contacting and uniform pressure drop which can be critical for good catalyst performance for ammonia oxidation. Furthermore, the reticulated structure provides a structure which presents a surface of catalytic material but unlike the wire gauze catalyst the inner core is inert material and not costly and inaccessible precious metal.
It is a feature of the present invention that catalysts in which the precious metals are produced from metallo organic compounds dissolved in organic solvents which have superior catalytic activity (conversion at lower temperature) and stability. These catalysts have superior properties to those produced by known and practiced technology based on inorganic chloride or chloride free aqueous compounds.
Briefly the present invention relates to a novel ammonia oxidation catalyst structure comprising a reticulated ceramic or metal substrate coated with from 1 to 70 weight percent based on the total catalyst structure cobalt compounds or a noble metal, the method of making the catalyst and the process of oxidizing ammonia by contacting ammonia and a free oxygen containing gas in vapor phase at temperatures in the range of 700� to 1200� C. (exit temperature), in a fixed bed of the catalyst. The noble metal preferably comprises 2 to 50 wt. % based on the total catalyst structure. A cobalt coating preferably requires more of the active metal component, i.e. about 10 to 70 weight percent, more preferably 15 to 50 weight percent, e.g. 15 to 30 weight percent, based on the total catalyst structure.
The novel catalyst structures of the present invention may be prepared by immersing a foamed ceramic structure or foamed metal structure in a solution comprising an organic solvent and from about 1 to 30 wt. % of a carboxylate salt of cobalt, noble metal or mixture thereof. The desired amount of metal salt is preferably deposited by sequential immersion of the foamed structure followed by firing at 260� to 800� C., for a sufficient time to reduce the salt, e.g. 30 to 90 minutes and repeating these steps as required.
The active precious metal coating of the freshly prepared catalyst structure is substantially continuous and exhibits electrical conductivity. The manner of application from an organic metal solution provides an even distribution throughout the reticulated substrate structure. Preferably the noble metal comprises platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and mixtures thereof. The catalyst may be an alloy of platinum. The freshly prepared catalyst may be characterized as continuous and electrically conductive, but after use the coating is characterized as crystallized and non-conductive.
Another feature of ceramic foam based catalysts, is that they have substantially higher thermal mass (heat capacity per unit of surface area) than platinum gauzes of equal surface area. The higher thermal mass of ceramic foam allows it to attenuate local disturbances which can lead to flickering. Therefore, reducing hot spots and the loss of platinum to oxidation at higher temperatures.
The ceramic foam structure and the method of production does not need to be described here. For example reticulated ceramic foams are available from Selee Corporation of Hendersonville, N.C., Hi-Tech Ceramic of Alfred, N.Y. and Foesco, Inc.
Generally, the GHSV will be between about 100,000 and 5,000,000. Contact times are extremely brief from about 0.002 second. The contact time is the calculated dwell time of the reaction mixture in the reaction zone, assuming the moles of feed mixture. For the purpose of calculating residence times, the reaction zone is the portion of the reactor containing catalyst. In calculating space velocities, the volume of a fixed bed zone containing catalyst is that original void volume of reactor space containing catalyst. The gaseous hourly space velocity (GHSV) is the volume of the ammonia to be oxidized, in the form of vapor calculated under standard conditions of 25� C. and 760 mm. of mercury, per volume of reactor space containing catalyst per hour.
The foam structure is characterized by the number of pores per linear inch and typical foams are produced with 10 to 100 pores per linear inch. Table 1 below shows the comparisons of geometrical surface area or global surface area for typical wire gauzes and the foam structures of this invention. Specifically Table 1 shows the surface area of the gauzes per unit area and the thickness of foam structure which would be required to be equal to this surface area. A comparison of other properties of the foams and gauzes are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

To produce the catalysts structures of this invention the above mentioned structures are coated with metallo organic compounds of certain precious metals and base metals to produce catalysts which have the structure of the foam and smooth and substantially continuous catalytic surfaces.
Preferable metal compounds for deposition on to the foamed structure are the carboxylates, preferably corresponding to long chain acid being 4 to 20 carbon atoms, such as platinum neo decanoate, platinum 2 ethyl hexanoate, palladium neo decanoate and palladium 2-ethyl hexanoate. The same salts of rhodium and silver have also shown excellent results of uniform, distribution and high metal dispersion. While the chemistry of metal carboxylates have been known for some time the precious metal compounds have not been available in sufficient purity or quantity until recently. It was not obvious that these materials could be decomposed to form good catalytic precursors or that these precursors would have enhanced dispersion in the absence of halogen or hydroxide species.
Generally any organic liquid in which the metal salt is soluble may be used. Suitable solvents for the metal salt component of the depositing solution include aromatics having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, lower alcohols having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, symmetrical and unsymmetrical ketones and ethers having 3 to 9 carbon atoms and linear esters having 3 to 7 carbon atoms. Preferred solvents for the cobalt and noble metal carboxylates include aromatics such as toluene and xylene, alcohols such as ethanol, isopropanol and butanol, ketones like methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, ethers such as methyl tertiary butyl ether tertiary amyl methyl ether and esters like propyl acetate, and ethyl acetate.
When platinum is deposited on ceramic foam from the ethyl hexanoate salt dissolved in toluene a metallic film is formed. After heating to 500� F. the conductivity can be measured with an ohm meter. For example, when a one inch thick 30 cell per linear inch alumina ceramic foam is coated with approximately 10% platinum by weight the resistance was measured at an average of 4.4 ohms across the thickness. The ceramic piece was about 12 inches on the diagonal distance. The resistance across this diagonal was measured at an average 6 ohms.
Note that after exposure to temperatures in excess of 800� C. the films are optically continuous but have no electrical continuity.
The following examples are intended to demonstrate the invention.
A foam structure 8 inches in diameter and 0.8 inches thick and containing 30 pores per inch was produced by immersing a polyurethane expanded foam into a ceramic slurry of alpha alumina powder. After firing to temperatures in excess of 1400� C. the foam was dipped into a solution of 11% platinum as platinum ethylhexanoate in toluene. After three dips with intermittent drying and firings the foam contained 10.5 wt. % platinum or 1.38 troy ounces. This foam was placed into a small ammonia oxidation reactor and 6.7 volume % ammonia in air was passed over the platinum coated foam. The mixture was ignited with a spark ignitor. After a short time, the entire structure glowed reddish orange. The concentration of the input ammonia was confirmed at 6.7 volume % by drawing a gas sample and analyzing by wet chemical methods. Several samples were taken of the gases after the foam oxidation catalyst and the yield (selectivity x conversion) was found to be 96 mole % in the form of nitric oxide (NO). This catalyst was left in place and was operated intermittently for over 90 days. The catalyst was removed for characterization. There was no metal lost and the assay of the Pt was still 10.5%.
The reactor of example 1 was fitted with 15 layers of Pt/Rh gauze weighing a total of 9.94 troy ounces. Ammonia in air was passed over the gauze and the analysis showed 95 mole % conversion of the ammonia to nitric oxide.
Several ceramic foams catalyst supports were made by dipping 20 and 30 ppi (pores per inch) polyurethane foam 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter into a slurry of mullite (alumina silicate) powder. After firing to temperatures in excess of 1200� C., strong ceramic foam structures resulted. These structures were dipped in accordance with the procedure in example 1, into a 8% Pt as platinum ethylhexanoate dissolved in toluene. One foam, 30 ppi, was dipped once and was found to have picked up approximately 3% or 0.37 troy ounces of Pt. A second foam, 20 ppi, was coated with four dips and was found to have picked up 1.54 troy ounces or about 12% by weight.
The 3 wt. % Pt on mullite foam was tested in the ammonia oxidation reactor with 10 volume % ammonia. The conversion to NO was found to be 93-95 mole % as determined by chemilumenescent analysis.
The 12 wt. % Pt on 20 ppi foam was tested in the ammonia oxidation reactor and the ammonia in and the NO out were measured by a chemiluminescence. The conversion was found to be between 97 and 100%.
A foam structure 8 inches in diameter and 0.8 inches thick and containing 30 pores per inch was produced by immersing a polyurethane expanded foam into a ceramic slurry of cordierite (magnesia alumina silicate) powder. After firing to temperatures in excess of 1300� C. the ceramic foam was dipped into an aqueous colloidal dispersion of alumina containing about 20% by weight of Al2 O3. The sample was dried and calcined to 500� C. for one hour. The foam was found to have picked up 8% by weight alumina. The alumina coated foam was dipped onto a solution of 12% zinc as zinc neo decanoate in toluene. The weight pick up measured after calcination to 500� C. was 5%. This zinc oxide and alumina coated foam was then dipped into a 12% cobalt as cobalt neo decanoate in toluene and dried and calcined at 500� C. The weight pick up was 15% as cobalt oxide. This catalyst was placed in the ammonia oxidation reactor and ignited with the electric spark ignitor. The reactor was run for two weeks before evaluation. Analysis of the ammonia input to the reactor showed 10% ammonia in air. The output was measured at between 9.1 and 9.4% NO giving a corrected conversion of 92 to 95%.
The reactor chamber of the pilot unit utilizes 16, 8 inch diameter gauzes. The flow rate is 600 scfm which gives a linear velocity of 1.355 meters per second and an approximate pressure drop of 1.9 inches of water. The feed is approximately 6.7% ammonia in air. The reactor operates at 4 psig and atmospheric pressure is about 13 psig.
A platinum catalyst on foam was prepared with 10.5% Pt on an 8 inch diameter 0.80 inches thick, 30 pores per linear inch alumina foam. This catalyst loading had a platinum loading of 1.38 troy ounces in the reactor. (The metal contained in the gauzes pack was 9.94 troy ounces.) At this metal loading the metallized ceramic catalyst is electrically conductive with a resistance of about 0.4 ohms per inch. This metallized foam was placed on a non metallized alumina support segment and mounted in the reactor. The gauze reactor was operated at 760�-800� C.
The performance of the catalyst was checked by taking samples of the reacted gases and titrating for nitric acid and ammonia. Twelve samples were taken over a six hour run. The results showed that the gauze converted 95% of the ammonia to nitric acid and furthermore in the absorption system used approximately 45-46% acid was produced. The metallized foam converted up to 96% of the ammonia to nitric acid and for unexplained reasons gave a stronger acid strength of about 50%. After these tests were completed only the acid strength was used to monitor the performance and nitric acid was produced for an additional 60 days. At the end of the 60 days, the catalyst was performing acceptably, with no evidence of reduced activity and the run was stopped only to recover the catalyst for analysis. Assay showed that there was no metal loss (assay on 10.50% assay out 10.54%) and there was no loss of performance was detected.

From about 12 to 15% Pt by weight the metallized structure has a continuous and electrically conductive film. The ceramic surface is substantially coated.
Table 3 below shows the platinum reduction achievable by using the coated form. This made possible because the ceramic makes up the core and the platinum is on the surface where it is effective as a catalyst.

Game Day Recon: Game 3 - Canucks @ Flyers
The Vancouver Canucks travel to the City of Brotherly Love to face Jaromir Jagr and the Philadelphia Flyers in the home opener at Wells Fargo Center. God, that just looks weird, now that I've typed it. Jagr as a Flyer. Don't worry, I will NOT make any "Moves Like Jagr" jokes, because they're completely ridiculous. And also, I can't think of one.
Even though the Flyers revamped their lineup in the off-season, they represent a good, early Litmus test for the Canucks on the first half of back-to-back games on this 4-game road trip.

It was quite a first week in the NHL.
Winnipeg welcomed back the Jets and gave Gary Bettman a standing ovation, an agent went ballistic over a two-game suspension, Sidney Crosby didn't play, Jaromir Jagr returned, the Sabres, Leafs, Capitals, Flyers, Red Wings, Predators, Sharks and Oilers were undefeated, Don Cherry looked foolish, the Blue Jackets, Flames, and Jets went pointless, thankfully Lowetide didn't change his ways and a few players inched closer to some great achievements.

The Canucks have a problem, and it's not a pool-hall.
What observers will tell you plagues this team is its "softness". That "softness" was on full display last night when Marc Methot recklessly boarded Henrik Sedin, and the Canucks conspicuously failed to present Methot with his just-desserts. Apparently Bieksa and Volpatti both offered Methot an ice-cream cake of whoop-ass, but Methot wouldn't go, and the Canucks skaters let it go, rather than risk the instigator.
Henrik Sedin hobbled away from the hit, and today is not skating with the team. The incident and the team's reaction uncovered a sensitive emotional deposit in Canuckistan, and conjured up shades of playoff eliminations past. From Brad Marchand speed-bagging Daniel in June, to Bolland's happy-hacking on both twins (and Daniel's ill-considered response) in the Conference Semi-Final the season previous - many believe that it's open season on the Sedins because the Canucks don't "fight back" in the schoolyard sense of the term.

For survivors who maintain fertility, numerous investigations have evaluated the prevalence of and risk factors for pregnancy complications in adults treated for cancer during childhood. Pregnancy complications including hypertension, fetal malposition, fetal loss/spontaneous abortion, preterm labor, and low birth weight have been observed in association with specific diagnostic and treatment groups.[48,49,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60]
- In a study of 4,029 pregnancies among 1,915 women followed in the CCSS, there were 63% live births, 1% stillbirths, 15% miscarriages, 17% abortions, and 3% unknown or in gestation. Risk of miscarriage was 3.6-fold higher in women treated with craniospinal radiation and 1.7-fold higher in those treated with pelvic radiation. Chemotherapy exposure alone did not increase risk of miscarriage. Compared with siblings, survivors were less likely to have live births, more likely to have medical abortions, and more likely to have low birth weight babies.[49] In the same cohort, another study evaluated pregnancy outcomes of partners of male survivors. Among 4,106 sexually active males, 1,227 reported they sired 2,323 pregnancies, which resulted in 69% live births, 13% miscarriages, 13% abortions, and 5% unknown or in gestation at the time of analysis. Compared with partners of male siblings, there was a decreased incidence of live births (RR = 0.77), but no significant differences of pregnancy outcome by treatment.[48]
- In the National Wilms Tumor Study, records were obtained for 1,021 pregnancies of more than 20 weeks duration. In this group, there were 955 single live births. Hypertension complicating pregnancy, early or threatened labor, malposition of the fetus, lower birth weight (<2,500 g), and premature delivery (<36 weeks) were more frequent among women who had received flank radiation, in a dose-dependent manner.[56]
- In a retrospective cohort analysis from the CCSS of 1,148 men and 1,657 women who had survived cancer, there were 4,946 pregnancies. Irradiation of the testes in men and pituitary gland in women and chemotherapy with alkylating drugs were not associated with an increased risk of stillbirth or neonatal death. Uterine and ovarian irradiation significantly increased the risk of stillbirth and neonatal death at doses higher than 10 Gy. For girls treated before menarche, irradiation of the uterus and ovaries at doses as low as 1 Gy to 2.49 Gy significantly increased the risk of stillbirth or neonatal death.[61]
- Results from a Danish study confirm the association of uterine radiation with spontaneous but not other types of abortion. Thirty-four thousand pregnancies were evaluated in a population of 1,688 female survivors of childhood cancer in the Danish Cancer Registry. The pregnancy outcomes of survivors, 2,737 sisters, and 16,700 comparison women in the population were identified. No significant differences were seen between survivors and comparison women in the proportions of live births, stillbirths, or all types of abortions combined. Survivors with a history of neuroendocrine or abdominal radiation therapy had an increased risk of spontaneous abortion. Thus, the pregnancy outcomes of survivors were similar to those of comparison women with the exception of spontaneous abortion.[53]

Conservative Episcopalian bloc creates own province
North American group claims 100,000 members
The impact of yesterday's announcement on the 2.1 million-member Episcopal Church, and the Anglican Church of Canada, which has about 640,000 people on its rolls, was unclear.
There are conservatives in both countries who will not join the new province and instead have vowed to stay within their national denominations despite theological differences.
The new province will not be fully formed for months, or perhaps longer, as it goes through the process of approving a new constitution and leadership. Members of the new church also must overcome their own theological differences, over ordaining women and other issues.
In the four breakaway Episcopal dioceses, legal challenges over property probably will take resources away from building the new province. The four dioceses are Fort Worth, Texas; Pittsburgh; Quincy, Ill.; and San Joaquin, based in Fresno. National Episcopal leaders are helping local parishioners reorganize those dioceses.
The new conservative province has the support of seven leaders of Anglican national churches, called primates, including the archbishops of Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya and the Southern Cone, based in Argentina. Duncan and others are soliciting more support from the overseas archbishops.
However, it's not known whether that will lead to full acceptance by the Anglican Communion.
Duncan and other conservative leaders in North America say they may not seek approval for their new province from the Archbishop of Canterbury or from the Anglican Consultative Council, the leadership group of bishops, clergy and laity that until now was largely responsible for blessing new jurisdictions.
Bishop Martyn Minns, a leading figure in the formation of the new province, said of Williams: "It's desirable that he get behind this. It's something that would bring a little more coherence to the life of the communion. But if he doesn't, so be it."
Minns, a priest who led his large, historic church in Virginia out of the Episcopal Church two years ago and was subsequently ordained a bishop by the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria, said in an interview: "One of the questions a number of the primates are asking is why do we still need to be operating under the rules of an English charity, which is what the Anglican Consultative Council does. Why is England still considered the center of the universe?"
Jim Naughton, canon for communications and advancement in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, and a liberal who frequently blogs on Anglican affairs, said he doubted that a rival Anglican province could grow much larger.
"I think this organization does not have much of a future because there are already a lot of churches in the United States for people who don't want to worship with gays and lesbians," he said. "That's not a market niche that is underserved."
The New York Times contributed to this report.

Piranha Sprout
From the Super Mario Wiki
Piranha Sprouts[1] (Chuchu Pakkun in Japan) are Piranha Plants who appear in Yoshi's Story, and only appearing in Stage 4-3: Piranha Grove.
Piranha Sprouts are one of the few variations that have the ability to walk. They look like the bud of a Piranha Plant with green shoes (or leaves resembling shoes). Their ability to walk is extremely limited to short waddles. Piranha Sprouts, like Pests, are able to shrink anything that escapes from their mouth. It makes an odd squeaking sound and pops out of the ground when least expected. The only known way of defeating a Piranha Sprout is by shooting it with an egg.

Nut and Bolt Storage in the Garage:
Tool Organization
Tool Organization
If not organized, finding the correct nuts and bolts in your shop can be frustrating. It can take quite a while to find the right part in drawers full of loose, unorganized items.
Here's an idea to try if you have cabinets over your workbench. Take the screw-on lids from old canning jars or baby food jars and attach them with screws to the bottom of the cabinets. Fill the old jars with nuts, bolts and screws in an organized fashion, and screw the jars up into the corresponding lids attached to the bottom of the cabinet! The fasteners are all visible through the glass, making it easy to know which jar to unscrew from beneath its lid! When finished, just screw the jar back on.

Tunis — A meeting devoted to the examination of the security situation in the country and the follow-up of the efforts made to ensure the citizens' security and fight against terrorism and smuggling, was held on Monday in Kasbah, under the chairmanship of caretaker Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa.
The meeting was attended by National Defence Minister Ghazi Jeribi, Interior Minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou, Delegate Minister in charge of Security Ridha Sfar, as well as several executives of the Army and the National Security, a statement of the Prime Ministry reads.
A tribute was paid to the Army and Security units for their efforts to protect the borders and fight against terrorism and organised crimes, the same source added.

Michael Lomonaco thought he'd take the elevator up to his office but he really needed to get his glasses repaired so, a little after 8 on a sunny September morning, he went down to the optical shop in the lobby. It was a fateful decision for the noted American chef/director at the time, restaurateur and TV personality.
As they say, "there's nothing like mama's cooking", and Guy Lombardi knows this first hand. Growing up in Avellino, Italy, Guy was spoiled by his mother's traditional Italian cooking. At a young age he was exposed to all aspects of the kitchen, helping his mother as much as he could, igniting the passion that has led to the Lombardi Empire that stands today.
Not many restaurant operators start out by cooking in high school but for Eric Marx, that was the way to go. Now running two high-profile restaurants, Monarch and Gilded Lily, and the Wayfarer, Marx is knee-deep in everything food, and loving every minute of it.
When Yonkers Raceway fell on hard times, the Rooney family came up with the idea to add a casino, as it had been doing in Pittsburgh and other places. In the beginning, the family didn't focus too much on food and beverage, knowing that most of the people coming to the Empire City Casino were there just for the gaming.
How did you get into the industry?
By chance, I literally started working as a receptionist in 1977 at the Larchmont Yacht Club and worked there through college right through my time at Arizona State. I progressed and ended up being the Maitre d' and Captain. To tell you the truth I grew up in very modest means and I though that if I worked at a club I would learn how people of wealth and successful means were made and that it would rub off on me and with that would come the key to wealth.
What prompted the creation of ROC?
9/11, on September 11, there was a restaurant at the top of the World Trade Center, Tower 1. And there were 72 workers who died that morning in the restaurant. And about 250 workers who lost their jobs. And so we started the organization initially to support the workers who had lost their jobs. But we were soon overwhelmed with calls for help from workers. First from all over the city and then all over the country. And that's how ROC grew.
How did you get into the industry?
I originally planned to go to law school after college, but decided to take a summer job working for my grandfather at Admiration Foods after graduation. My grandfather was very old school. He would never give you anything unless you earned it. It didn't matter that I was his grandchild, if I wanted to get paid I had to prove myself to him. I enrolled in a business law and an accounting class, and he started to include me as an integral member of his executive team.
Managing Director of Notar Hospitality, Richie Notar answers some questions and talks about his experiences in the foodservice industry.
So what attracted you to the opportunity at NJRA?
I had been a member actually through my previous employer with the restaurant association and had worked closely with Deborah Dowdell on a state tourism committee. So for 10 years we served on the New Jersey Travel Industry Association together.
I knew Deborah, I knew the organization. I'd been involved and attended some of the events. So, you know it was not new to me. I was very aware of the excellent reputation that it has in the state of New Jersey. It was unfortunately the sadness of Deborah's passing because she was the Restaurant Association. It's a wonderful opportunity. I'm excited to be here but at the same time, every day I walk in this office I do think of her.
How did you get into the industry?
Like many of my colleagues, I started my career in front of a sink in the dish room. During high school, I was a "pearl diver" at a restaurant in my hometown of Olympia, Washington. The food bug bit me early. I stayed in the industry, in various positions, while in college and when I graduated I began feeding college kids with a company called SAGA.

Letters to the editor - 4/4/04
5. Some families are more valuable than others.
6. Believing you are good excuses all your mistakes.
7. Controlling the media guarantees how much truth will be revealed.
8. Loyalty means attacking those who disagree with you.
9. Killing is justified to protect and save lives.
10. Winning is everything.
Get your facts straight on unemployment
Thanks to Jeff Coleman for his March 29 letter and other letters for clarifying the U.S. unemployment situation. GWB has left 3 million fewer Americans working since the start of his administration. The Republicans are not disputing this fact (except for a very few misguided North County Times letter writers).
In 2004, it is a dismal economy and deficit, along with an unnecessary war in Iraq, an ineffective war on those who attacked us on 9-11 and all the lies and spin from the Republicans willing to say and do anything to make it even worse with four more years.
William Ficere (Letters, March 22), aka Baloney Man, claims we have job growth. Thank you, William, for taking fuzzy math to a new level. When you can't handle the truth, then distort the facts, create a diversion and claim foul. GWB would have been proud.
Columnists don't get it
As I read John Van Doorn's Feb. 22 North County Times column, "Scattering workers to the wind," and Jim Trageser's Feb. 27 column, "Migrants can't get even a dog's life," wherein they berated the city of Carlsbad for destroying the illegal camps that scores of illegal aliens live in, I wondered what part of illegal they don't understand.
Dissenters must be silenced
For too long moderates and liberals have been ruining our country.
Thankfully, we now have a strong president with the vision and determination to set things right.
Supporters of the loyal opposition, separation of church and state, or the right to dissent weaken our country. Americans must stand united. Anyone who speaks out against our government is aiding the terrorists and needs to be silenced.
The 20th century had visionary leaders who recognized that democracies corrupt the people and weaken the nation. Although their enemies' superior military power thwarted their dreams of empire, they understood that the destiny of a great nation is to build a great empire. We, the people of the United States, now have the opportunity to establish the greatest empire the world has ever known.
Let's demonstrate our patriotism and commitment by bringing back the military draft. Show your support for your leader, George W. Bush.
Kerry disgraces the American military
To all the Bush haters and J.F. Kerry apologists who are wrapping themselves around the thought that Kerry is this war hero - nonsense. In case you forgot, the U.S. lost the Vietnam War, which divided this country more than the Civil War. I believe J.F. Kerry lied to Congress as young men died in Vietnam. He did it for his own self-opportunity.
As a Marine going home on emergency leave from Southeast Asia, I was so happy to be back in the world again. On a New York subway in uniform I noticed many people staring at me and talking to themselves. A man got up and spit at my feet. The people around gave me dirty looks. A young college girl walked up to me and called me a "baby killer" then got off the train. I never wore my uniform on leave again, thanks to J.F. Kerry's lies. Kerry again will disgrace the American serviceman for his own agenda.

Buy the Rhodes. You won't regret it. You can pour money into a clapped out Mac that you will never get back (and apparently you need to dump money into the trailer as well- come on, ask yourself, if the guy cut sloppy corners on the trailer, how well did he do anything else on the boat?), or buy a boat that is a) still in production, b) was much better quality to begin with and c) has a fanatical following, parts support and d) you can sail now without work.
Nobody has ever gone wrong buying the best boat they could afford, but a lot of people have given up on "bargains."

There is no greater financial investment in one's future than a college degree. While this viewpoint has its critics, the reality is the value of a degree has never been greater.

After being released on the Xbox in the summer, PC gamers now have the chance to experience Full Spectrum Warrior…
By now, everybody will have heard the origins of Full Spectrum Warrior; the fact that it was originally designed as a Light Infantry training tool for the US military, before some bright spark thought that it would be a good idea to amend the game and make it suitable for consumers.
So they added a coherent storyline and made some other adjustments before being released on Xbox. Visually impressive, with streets of guerrilla filled enclaves and windows on every turn.
The great idea of FSW was the fact that it wasnâ??t a first-person shooter; thanks to its military origins, the game focused creating a realistic strategic shooter, where the player controls the unseen remote commander of two teams, Alpha and Bravo. Both teams are controlled individually, with a complete range of realistic stances, and tactics for players to utilise.
The transition from console to computer so far seems to have been a straightforward one. Graphically, the game seems to be as good as those of the Xbox, and the sections of the game that featured in the game must go some way in creating the tension felt by every soldier on the front line or battles around the world. The PC version will also have two new missions not included on the console releaseâ?¦
Controlling the characters in the game, so far seems to be quiet good too, not least because of the nature of the game is focused on planning and strategically manoeuvring your soldiers through the streets correctly, and not blindly running into all out assault.
The game is expected to be release on October 6th, and we feel that the transition to PC will be completed successfully. The game so far feels right, and we are looking forward to playing the final game soonâ?¦

Detour (1945) Raoul Ruiz was an admirer of this film for its poetic values exemplified by its technical shortcomings. and certainly its threadbare production values are much in evidence. It fulfills Godard's idea that a film should look like a film: maybe that's where he got it, watching these old Hollywood creations. Perhaps what Ruiz saw was the analogue of the Brutalist aesthetic in architecture: bare concrete surfaces still bearing the marks of shuttering and exposed conduit and plywood or now days MDF. I wonder what the film's director Edgar G. Ulmer would have thought of Ruiz's opinion. My guess he would have much preferred a large budget. One place its director didn't scrimp was in the car that features for much of the film, a late 40s Lincoln Zephyr Continental Cabriolet. Tom Neal, the protagonist, (Al Roberts) wanted to be inconspicuous but gave no sense of seeing the car as a an attention getter it would have been in those days. The film plods along for half its run time and then: Whamo! Enter Vera (Ann Savage—can that be her real name?) and the film takes off with a bang. Obviously writer/screenplay author Martin Goldsmith is due a lot of the credit.
Fate deals another joker to Al.

Baby you a song, you make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise ...
I am kind, sassy, sometimes considered the Mother Hen by my friends, but also not afraid to speak my mind. I enjoy going out to restaurants and bars on the weekends. I love perfume, my nose ring, and painting my toenails. I enjoy coffee dates and love hanging out and working in coffee shops. I graduated from Wesleyan University with a major in psychology and I currently work in education, something I am very passionate about. Recently, I have had the opportunity to gain some experience in guidance counseling and I think I have found the direction I would like to take in my career. I love horses and I have been riding since I was 8 years old. I ride, horse show, teach lessons, and work at the barn. Horses are my passion and they keep me sane. I love spending time with my friends and family, hanging out, cooking dinner, having movie nights, or going out for dinner and drinks. I'm looking for someone who is also family-oriented. I love travelling (Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Italy) and exploring new places, but I also love the comforts of home and being able to curl up on my own couch with a blanket, a mug of tea, and a good book or movie. I want to be with someone who appreciates the adventures of travel and the comforts of home.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
Locally: Rao's Coffee, Northampton Brewery, Zen, Tunnel Bar, Mission Cantina, and Esselon Cafe Places that are not so local: Cape Cod, New York City, Europe, and pretty much anywhere tropical.
Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT
I love riding horses, horse showing, and working at the farm--I am there every chance I get. I love Italian food, frequenting coffee shops, going out to the movies, and driving with the windows down and the music up (country, R&B, hip-hop ...)
I like to cook, try new restaurants, and go out for cocktails. I like to go skiing in the winter and go for a swim or a walk outside in warmer weather. I love to take weekend trips to the beach or to nearby cities to explore or visit with friends.
