Metal strip may be directly cast by deposit of a melt layer onto a chill surface. Quality of both the upper and lower surfaces of strip case in this manner may be substantially improved according to the invention by casting on a chill roll having fine, circumferential, surface grooving of a particular geometry.
1. The method for casting commercial quality metal sheet of thickness less than about 10 millimeters directly from the melt comprising
grooving the outer cylindrical surface of a chill wheel with axially-spaced, substantially circumferentially extending grooves to produce a casting surface with a groove density of at least about 8 grooves per centimeter, substantially cylindrical flat land regions between adjacent grooves and generally circumferential edges at the intersections of each land region with the adjacent grooves,
rotating the chill wheel and passing the grooved outer cylindrical surface through a melt pool to extract a melt layer onto the grooved outer surface wherein the upper surface of the melt layer directly contacts the land regions and substantially spans the groove between land regions and wherein the upper surface of the melt layer is unconfirmed and directly exposed to the atmosphere, and
withdrawing heat from the melt layer through the grooved surface to progressively solidify the melt layer from the grooved surface to the melt layer upper surface.
2. The method of claim 1 for casting commercial quality metal sheet of thickness less than about 10 millimeters directly from the melt further comprising holding the melt pool in an open tundish having one wall defined by the outer cylindrical surface of the chill wheel and wherein the chill wheel is rotated in a direction to move the outer surface upwardly through and out of the melt.
3. The casting method of claim 1 which further includes casting at such a speed and delivering the molten metal at such a rate so as to form a crystalline metal strip of thickness greater than about 0.25 millimeters.
4. The casting method of claim 3 which further includes introducing the metal melt onto the substrate surface having a ratio of average land width to average groove width of between 0.5 and 1.5.
5. The casting method of claim 4 wherein the groove depth is between about 0.025 and 0.2 millimeters.
6. The casting method of claim 3 which further comprises introducing the metal melt onto a peripheral surface of a drum rotating at about 100-1000 cm/sec, wherein the grooves are generally circumferential in the peripheral surface with a depth of about 0.025-0.2 millimeters and wherein the grooves are separated by land regions having a width of less than about 0.635 millimeters.
7. The casting method of claim 6 wherein the land regions have a width of between about 0.025 and 0.635 millimeters.
This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 047,566 filed on 4/27/87, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 786,789 filed on 10/11/85, both now abandoned.
The invention relates to a novel method for making metal strip or sheet directly from a molten mass of the metal. From prior patents issued to King (U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,522,836 3,605,863) and others, it is known how to make strip in this manner. King discloses a method whereby a layer of the liquid metal is deposited onto the smooth, outer, cylindrical surface of a chilled roller by a so-called melt drag process. In the melt drag process the moving substrate passes through a meniscus of liquid metal delivered by an orifice and drags the metal from the orifice. The layer quickly solidifies on the chill surface and is removed as a strip.
By the above melt drag method or, so far as we know, by other methods not utilizing an orifice for delivery, the surface of metal strip formed by rapidly chilling a molten metal layer on a smooth substrate may contain various casting defects. These defects are generally a vestige of poor (thermal) contact regions of the liquid metal with the substrate. The poor contact results in slower solidification of metal than in adjacent regions of good contact.
A patent to Buxmann, et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,250,950) discloses a metal mold with projections for controlling the rate of metal solidification, but apparently not for improving surface finish as proposed herein.
Other methods exist for producing strip which replicates the surface of the drum (see U.S. Pat Nos. 2,561,636 and 4,212,343, for example). Such methods are not relevant to the present invention because the method produces smooth metal strip which preferably does not replicate the drum. A rather smooth finish is desired so that the strip may be formed and used as cast (such as for roof gutters, for example) or may be further formed into useful shapes with only a minimum of cold rolling.
It is an object of the present invention to improve the surface quality (reduce surface defects) in metal strip formed on a chill surface directly from the melt.
The improved method comprises casting a molten metal layer on the outer cylindrical surface of a chill roll or drum having generally circumferential grooves therein separated by land areas and wherein the groove frequency is at least about 8 grooves/centimeter. Typically, the melt does not completely fill the grooves and neither the lower nor the upper surface replicates the groove shape. A periodic undulation is generally present in the lower surface of most strip and may also be present on the upper surface of thin strip cast on widely spaced grooves.
Preferably the grooves are cut with an included angle of between about 30 and 60 degrees and a depth of about 0.025-2 mm. The land region between grooves may vary from about 0.025-0.635 mm in width and the ratio of land width to the groove width is preferably greater than 0.15 and more preferably between about 0.5 and 1.5.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a schematic elevation and plan view, respectively, of one tundish and drum assembly for casting metal strip.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic elevation view of a second tundish design and drum assembly including a gas knife for casting metal strip.
FIG. 4 shows two cross-sectional views of land and groove geometries which may be used to cast improved strip according to the invention.
FIG. 5 is a representation of the liquid metal behavior at the surface in contact with the grooved drum.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show schematic views of one tundish and chilled roll or drum assembly for practicing the invention. The cylindrical drum 2 is mounted for rotation relative to the tundish 1 and is conventionally water cooled (not shown). The tundish 1 has a contour matching the roller surface at one end and is spaced from the drum 2 such that the liquid metal 10 will not spill during rotation of the drum. Weir 4 smooths out the flow of liquid metal which is made-up by pouring into the tundish at the opposite end from the wheel. Dam 3 forms a pouring chamber with the tundish back wall. Dam 3 and weir 4 also control the melt level 6 and 7 respectively. Weir 5 may be used to control the melt level 8 (the metalostatic head height) and also to control the contact length 9 of the melt with the drum. This contact length is important for controlling the thickness of the strip 11. The weir 5 may alternatively be closely spaced from the drum surface to meter the liquid metal to the surface, i.e. serving as an orifice. Liquid metal 10 contacts the cooled drum and solidifies to the solid strip 11 before removal from the drum.
A second assembly for practicing the invention is shown in FIG. 3. The drum 16 and tundish 15 are substantially the same as in FIG. 1, except that only one weir 18 is present. Liquid metal 20 is contacted with the cooled drum and the contact length and thickness thereof is controlled by the impact of a pressurized gas stream issuing from a gas knife 21. The gas knife is similar to that used in the hot dip galvanizing art, but operational parameters are quite different. Control of the melt thickness (and therefore the metal strip thickness) has been shown to be somewhat better with the gas knife than with the extra weir 5 shown in FIG. 1. Typically, the bottom of the tundish approaches the drum at a point about 30� from horizontal, but this point of approach may vary substantially depending on the drum diameter, casting speed and desired strip thickness. The gap between the drum and the tundish may be on the order of 0.15-1.00 mm and the melt contact length with the drum on the order of 4-120 mm.
Apparatus including that shown in FIG. 1 have been used in the past for casting metal on a smooth, cylindrical drum surface (for example, a machined surface ground through 600-grit sanding paper). Unfortunately, when metal such as aluminum, copper or steel alloys are cast on smooth wheels, surface defects may arise in wide strip (greater than about three inches). These defects are visually perceived in the strip surface as either points, lines or networks of discoloration, texture, relief and/or cracking depending on the severity. The defects appear to be related to areas of poor contact of the liquid metal with the drum surface causing slower solidification of such areas relative to adjacent areas. This differential solidification appears to permanently define a defect region in the solidified strip which is a vestige of the poor contact.
The term "dimple" is used to mean a shallow defect area of 1-2 mm in diameter having a matte surface compared to the otherwise reflective appearance of the strip surface. The dimple is a common defect which the present invention may reduce. The linear defects typically form an irregular mosaic pattern of depressions which may be the site of cracking. As a result of the slow solidification, bottom surface dimples may result in top surface craters and bottom surface linear depressions result in top surface valleys. Both result in variations in nucleation and grain growth in the regions.
It has been found that these defects can be reduced substantially and both the upper and lower surfaces of the strip can be made smoother by casting on a drum with circumferential grooves in the casting surface. Helical (threaded) or straight-machined grooves are equally acceptable so long as the grooves are substantially circumferential and closely spaced. Grooving results in what is known as a land-and-groove surface having alternating grooves separated by raised land regions.
FIG. 4 shows common grooving which is useful in the invention. In FIG. 4(a ) a simple "V" shaped groove 32 has been uniformly machined in the surface of a drum 31 (shown in cutaway). The land regions 33 approach zero width in this grooving and are described as tips or sharp projections. In FIG. 4(b ) the tips have been removed such that land regions 33 have a width ω separating grooves 32. Frequently, the machining process results in a variable pattern of tips and lands which may also be useful but is not preferred. Extended use and cleaning of the drum may round the tips and flatten the lands.
It has been found that the drum surface should have a groove frequency of about 8-35 grooves/centimeter measured axially along the surface of the drum from edge 34 to edge 35 in FIG. 4(a). The grooves need not be "V" shaped but preferably have an average depth of about 0.025-0.2 millimeters. If they are "V"-shaped, the included angle formed by the walls is preferably about 30�-60�. The land regions preferably have an average width of about 0.025-0.635 millimeters. However, the term land is also used herein to include a land width of essentially zero where the land is a sharp projection. Preferably the ratio of average land width to average groove width is about 0.5-1.5, but patterns outside of this range are useful. Generally, only the high land to groove ratio is not particularly useful in producing significant improvement in strip quality as the drum surface approaches the prior art continuous (ungrooved) condition. The grooving need not be uniform but is preferably so.
Delivery of the molten metal at reasonable pressure to the high frequency grooving results in a pattern in which the liquid metal does not completely fill the grooves. FIG. 5 shows a condition of the liquid metal 43 immediately after deposit. The lower surface of the metal is depressed (at 46) into grooves 41 in the drum 40. The surface tension of the liquid may cause the liquid metal to be raised over the land regions 42 between depressions but other pressures may depress the liquid in the groove. Upon solidification the depressions 46 may, depending on strip thickness, rise above the drum surface due to shrinkage resulting in an undulating lower surface. Except in very thin metal strip and large spacing of grooves, the undulation in the lower surface caused by the grooves is not replicated in the upper surface of the strip. The actual shape of the grooving is not replicated in either the lower or upper surface.
The casting drum is preferably water cooled. It may be made of any convenient metal which will withstand the conditions, in particular, the temperature of the molten metal. For example, copper, copper-chromium, steel or aluminum alloy drums may be used selectively for casting aluminum, copper and steel. The grooves may be introduced, for example, by machining or, when the metal is soft enough, by roll threading or embossing. Preferably, a cloth or wire wiper is used with the drum for keeping the grooves clean during use.
Sticking may be more frequent than with a smooth wheel if the grooves are rough. This can be caused by over-aggressive redressing or wiping of the drum surface causing burrs to form on the land edges. Too high a pressure on the liquid metal during casting on such rough surfaces forces the metal too deeply into the grooves where the metal can solidify on the burrs.
Drum speeds during the casting operation are on the order of 100-1000 cm/sec. Lower speeds can be used to produce thicker strip but, as with any casting process, this would generally result in lower productivity. At the upper end of the stated range and above, the cast strip tends to become thinner as the metal contact time is decreased. Depending on the groove size, this can result in replication of the groove-induced undulation in the upper surface of the strip. For some uses this is not detrimental. Drum size (width and diameter) does not appear to be critical so long as effective cooling can be accomplished and metal can be delivered at the proper rate from the tundish.
So far as we know, strip directly cast on a cooled drum by other apparatus and methods may benefit from the grooving of the drum according to the invention. However, our experimental trials have been made on smooth and grooved drums using, primarily, the apparatus as shown in FIGS. 1-3. The drums were made with either copper, copper-1% chromium alloy, steel or aluminum alloy. Metals cast were aluminum alloy 3105 (nominally Al-0.5% Mg-0.5% Mn), OFHC Copper and low-carbon steel (nominally Fe-0.35% Mn 0.05% C). The cast strip is preferably crystalline with a thickness of greater than 0.25 mm.
"V"-shaped grooves were introduced by single-point machining or rolling. Acetate replicas of the wheel surfaces taken after runs and samples of the as-cast strip were examined with a profilometer and compared.
Qualitatively, it is easy to see the difference in strip quality using smooth and grooved wheels. Quantitatively, a definitive measure of strip quality is the thickness variation over a small area, for example one square inch, of the cast product due to defects. Measurements with flat and point micrometers were taken on samples cast on smooth wheels and those cast on grooved wheels according to the invention. The statistical difference between thickness measurements taken with flat micrometers and those with point micrometers weighted by the nominal thickness of the material (e.g. the percent difference) gives an indication of thickness variation over closely spaced regions. The similarly weighted difference between flat micrometer measurements and thickness calculated from the weight, length, width and density of the material gives a similar indication but without the subjective skill required to read a point micrometer. The results in Table 1 for 25.4 cm wide strip continuously cast on a 71 cm diameter drum show that the thickness varies by twice as much over a small region of smooth-wheel-cast aluminum strip versus grooved-wheel-cast aluminum strip. Also, the scatter in the data (e.g., the "s" values) is much less for product cast on the grooved drums.
TABLE 1______________________________________Strip Cast on: N Δ -t m Sm Δ -t c Sc______________________________________Smooth Wheel 21 29.5 7.8 -- --Grooved Wheel 2 14.0 1.4 11.5 0.2 6 -- -- 11.1 1.4______________________________________ Where: N = number of casting experiments for which average thickness difference statistics were evaluated. For each experiment, several individual sample were measured. -t m = average measured thickness variation, percent (point micrometer vs. flat micrometer) among N experiments Sm = standard deviation, percent (among N experiments) -t c = average calculated thickness variation, percent (flat micrometer vs. calculated from density) Sc = standard deviation, percent (among N experiments)
Numerous (typically 10 to 20) sample measurements of thickness with flat and point micrometers were compiled to determine the average percent difference for strip from each of 21 separate strip casting trials on a smooth wheel representing different casting speeds, pool, thickness, etc. These averages were then combined, resulting in an overall average, "Δtm ", with a variability defined as "Sm " for smooth-wheel casts.
Two separate grooved wheel strip casting experiments were evaluated in the above manner, and also by the similar (but easier) comparative method utilizing flat micrometer readings and "calculated thickness" values.
Table 1 shows:
a. A direct comparison between Δtm and Sm for smooth and grooved wheels, and
b. The relationship between Δtm and Δtc, and between Sm and Sc for the same materials cast on a grooved wheel.
An additional 6 experiments on a grooved wheel were evaluated by the easier Δtc method only. The results between the "group of 2" and the "group of 6" were statistically identical. By inference, we conclude that the "group of 2" and "group of 6" would have shown statistically identical Δtm values if these had been determined for the "group of 6". This leads to the conclusion that the relative variability in thickness of product cast on "grooved" wheels is only about half of that for material cast on smooth wheels. The same conclusion results from Δtm for only rows 1 and 2 of Table 1, but the added Δtc values of row 3 make this conclusion much more certain.
Several trials were made using apparatus such as shown in FIG. 1 with a "smooth" wheel (i.e. a machined surface ground through 600-grit Al2 O3 sanding paper then finished to a matte surface by peening with a rotating stainless steel brush). Aluminum 3105 alloy was melted and introduced to the chilled copper drum in a thin layer by the tundish. The drum surface was moving at between about 4 and 6 meters/second. A rotating wiper was used to keep the drum surface clean. A metallostatic head of about 4 inches was required to produce strip in a rather continuous mode. Strip quality varied, but dimples and other surface defects were plainly visible in virtually all the strip.
Trials with copper and steel on smooth drums produced similar defects in cast strip.
Additional trials were run using grooved drums. Table 2 gives the conditions of each run. Runs 99, 102 and 119 were run with a gas knife present. The gas knife was positioned so that a flow of gas (usually nitrogen, but can be air, argon, or some other suitable gas) impinges on the liquid metal of the casting pool at approximately the line of intersection of the forward edge of the liquid metal and the casting wheel (i.e., the solidified strip is between the wheel and gas flow after casting is started).
The grooves appear to afford a preferred site (on the lands) for initiation of solidification and afford channels for escaping of entrained gases. Cast strip using the grooved drums showed substantially less defects on upper and lower surfaces than strip cast on smooth drums and substantially less thickness variability.

A beautiful, immersive album,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Wakin' On A Pretty Daze (Audio CD)
I genuinely look forward to those times when I can play this album in its entirety through a decent set of speakers. Most recently it provided the perfect woozy, uplifting soundtrack to a post-party clean-up. Having only heard a couple of tracks from earlier Kurt Vile records I had listened to 'Snowflakes are Dancing' and 'Girl Called Alex' on Spotify but been wary of the length of WOAPD and the number of longer tracks (which on appearance seemed extravagant). Man was I proved wrong. After the second occasion on which I played this album from front to back I decided, 'Right, I gotta buy this on CD.' This is just such a well-sequenced record and the arrangements are so compelling in terms of their shifting layers that the number of longer tracks doesn't make for a slog but instead an opportunity for joyous immersion. As with any great album, it helps that it's bookended by two tracks that encapsulate everything that is charming, melancholy, and life-affirming about Vile's wise-ass drawl and sparkling guitar tones. Thoroughly recommended and certainly one of the best records of 2013.

Please contact Sam at firstname.lastname@example.com. CHERTSEY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB is on the rise again. Support is growing but we need even more! We are 122 years old and have had, like most football clubs, a chequered history but we are now moving in the right direction. The senior side won promotion to the Southern League last season and played sides such as Slough Town, Fleet Town and Uxbridge, all substantial clubs, in the 2011/12 season. The Curfews also compete in the FA Cup (sponsored by Budweiser). The club also has an extensive junior section with teams covering age groups from eight to eighteen years. All teams play in the same kit design and identity, re-enforcing the status of the club as the leading football entity in the town. The principle ground is in Alwyns Lane which boasts a main stand with over 200 seats, spectator cover for hundreds that protects up to three steps of terracing on two other sides of the pitch.

Recent Tybee Island reviews
"We were Tybee rookies, so I was a bit nervous. However, this little island is packed with family fun. We appreciated this condo because we could walk everywhere we needed to go. It was wonderful to be footsteps from the beach, stores, and yummy seafood. The condo was much bigger than I expected. It is tastefully decorated and not cluttered. It fit our family of four well. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly people made the trip memorable. It was quiet, safe, and clean. It is one set of condos from the beach, but you can see the beach from the balcony. It is a two minute walk to the water. Comparing with other properties, I find great value in this condo because it was affordable, yet very close to everything we needed. "Guest: Ryan S.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a well kept property with a terrific view. Staff was nice and helpful. We had a wonderful time. The pool could have been bigger but we spent lot of time on the beach. Tybee island is beautiful.

"Staying in this home was a real mountaintop experience for my family...The spacious living areas, both indoors and out, provided endless opportunities for us to play games, read, watch TV, converse, knit, write and enjoy the ocean breezes. The view from the Crow's Nest on the third floor was spectacular, and the sounds and smells of the ocean lifted our hearts. The kitchen, while the smallest of any home we have ever rented (this was the 11th home rented by us), was VERY well-equipped and exceptionally functional...we would rent this house again in a heartbeat. One of our family is handicapped, and we require an elevator in any home if it is more than one story. While the elevator worked perfectly every time, we were grateful for the outdoor ramp that provided us with a backup plan in case something untoward happened. FYI: If a disabled person is a member of your party, it is key that a transfer wheelchair be brought to this rental...My son's power chair was too large for the elevator, but the transfer chair fit perfectly. We were able to enjoy Tybee Island, Savannah, Fort Pulaski, and all the surrounding areas. We highly recommend eating at The Crab Shack and having ice cream at the Sugar Shack. Take time to read at least one of author Bruce Feiler's books, which you will find on a shelf in the living area...This home belongs to his family, and they have spent many a summer day in these spacious rooms. Having read four of his books several years ago, actually being in the Feiler house thrilled me more than I can describe.

"This is a first class well cared for condo with a beautiful view. All of the photos are exactly what you get clean and well maintained. My wife enjoys the beach and this gave her the beach and me the beach without sand. Wonderful sea breeze and very convenient to every thing and still the noise from outside is very minimal. Plan to be back next year if not before. I have to say that Mrs. P was very patient with me and the unit is all she said it would be and more.

Also known as Savannah Beach, this barrier island is easily accessible and sure to offer plenty of attractions of sights to please everyone. There's a rich history to be found here in various forts and museums as well as stunning natural scenery to experience. If that's not enough, you'll savor every meal as Tybee Island is known for it's diverse cuisine, but you can work off the extra calories by exploring the 3 miles of pristine beach, whether you're jumping in for a swim, strolling along the shore or casting a line to do some fishing.
If you're hoping to take advantage of a laid-back atmosphere and seriously lower your stress levels, you've come to the right place. Simply breathe in the salty sea air and you'll instantly feel all that tension just melt away.
Things to Do on Tybee Island
- Fort Pulaski: Step back in time to the Civil War era with a visit to Fort Pulaski, which was sieged by the Union Army and considered a "landmark experiment" in military science and invention history. Today visitors can check out the Fort Pulaski National Monument that offers year-round activities. The fort itself along with the demilune, ditches, drawbridges and dikes provide you with a wonderful example of military architecture, while indoor displays showcase the fort's history from its construction to its eventual fall to improved military technology. You can even take a guided tour to learn even more interesting facts about Fort Pulaski and its history.
- Tybee Island Light Station: Since 1732, the Tybee Island Light Station has been providing safe passage for sailors and mariners into the Savannah River. This historic station is one of the most intact in the U.S. as it still has all of its support buildings spread out over 5 acres. The station itself has been rebuilt on several occasions and currently displays the day mark from 1916. At the top is a First Order Fresnel lens, and it takes 178 stairs to reach it. This lovely spot if perfect for taking photographs you'll remember forever with such a beautiful backdrop, so don't forget the camera!
- Tybee Marine Science Center: Animal and water lovers alike won't want to miss out on a trip to the Tybee Marine Science Center. Here you can learn about the Tybee Island Sea Turtle Project as well as the local salt marsh and the creatures that live there. Kids will love exploring the beach walks, and everyone can appreciate the Coastal Georgia Gallery. You can even see a loggerhead sea turtle in the new aquatic display designed by the Georgia Aquarium.
- Tybee Museum: To learn even more about the history and heritage of Tybee Island, visit the Tybee Museum, which was established in 1961 by the Tybee Island Museum Association. One of the most intriguing features here is the museum's location in Battery Garland at Fort Screven, which was originally used to mount a large, rifled, long-range cannon. Throughout the space you can peruse artifacts, pictures, relics and exhibits detailing more than five centuries of history.
Dining on Tybee Island
- The Crab Shack: A favorite dining spot for visitors and locals alike is The Crab Shack, which features some of the best seafood on the island. In fact, the eatery has been voted as having the "best seafood" and "best outdoor dining" for years. There's a cool, laid-back vibe here that makes you want to just sit back and relax as you enjoy a variety of crab dishes, oysters, soups, stews and much more. Take in stunning views of the water and enjoy a nice afternoon or evening out.
- A-J's Dockside Restaurant: Another great place to grab a meal is A-J's, where you'll find even more delicious seafood. They've been serving customers since 2003, and offer both indoor and outdoor seating. From the outdoor deck, you'll be treated to amazing views of the Back River throughout your meal, adding some serious charm and ambience. If you're having dinner, you may even get to watch the sunset. Try the conch fritters, crab stew, salads, burgers or fish entrees and then rent a kayak and paddle off all those calories!
- The Breakfast Club: It's important to start the day off right with a healthy first meal, so stop by The Breakfast Club, a family owned and operated eatery that's won "best breakfast in Savannah" on several occasions. The sausages and sauces are all homemade, and the chef makes sure that everything is served fresh. Egg dishes, breakfast burritos, burgers and waffles are excellent menu choices to give you plenty of energy to get your through the day's adventures.

Motorhome AC
Jeff from Fort Mohave, AZ – Verified Buyer
I bought this AC unit because the roof unit on my motorhome pulled like 15amps. This one pulls like 6.6 amps and I can run it off my little 1800 watt generator. Works great in my 29 foot motorhome. I have a class C and mounted it in the front bunk area and vented it out the small window on left side.
Summer AC
Alex from MA – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
This air conditioning unit sometimes does a better job than my wall unit. It's compact and super easy to clean. I do wish the hose were a little longer, but it's a great unit for a great price.

Boston Scientific completes Atritech acquisition
Boston Scientific Corp. has completed its buyout, worth up to $375 million, of Atritech Inc., a Minnesota maker of medical devices.
The acquisition, first announced in January, called for the Natick-based medical device developer to pay $100 million to buy all outstanding shares of Atritech stock, and up to $275 million more based on Atritech revenue and regulatory achievements through 2015.
Atritech makes the WATCHMAN, a device meant to work in place of anticoagulant drugs to treat patients with atrial fibrillation, who are prone to developing blood clots in an area of the heart known as the left atrial appendage. The device has CE Mark approval in the European Union but has not yet gained approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A news release from Boston Scientific indicated that WATCHMAN was found to bring a 38 percent risk reduction of stroke, cardiovascular death and systemic embolism, compared to anticoagulants.
FDA approval would be a likely milestone achievement falling under Boston Scientific's $275 million achievement-based payout to Atritech.
Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX) made another acquisition this year so far, with its buy in January of Intelect Medical Inc., a Boston-based company developing technologies for deep brain stimulation, for $60 million in cash.

NFL players look for any edge they can get
If a player isn't looking for a way to gain an advantage in the NFL, he's courting plenty of heartache, Jeffri Chadiha writes.
Updated: August 9, 2007, 12:04 PM ETBy Jeffri Chadiha | ESPN.com
Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards uses a familiar message to end the speech he gives his team on Saturday nights before games.
Although he can be notoriously loquacious, Edwards refrains from drawing upon predictable clichés or gimmicky references in such moments. Instead, he delivers a brief, pointed statement that leaves his players knowing exactly what their responsibilities are.
"I tell them to do whatever it takes to get ready to play," Edwards said. "As long as it's legal, ...

Special Report
The Ultimate in Paper Guarantees
The Law of the Sea Treaty is the last thing that will keep the world safe from piracy -- or Chinese harassment of U.S. Navy ships.
The return of piracy to the high seas demonstrates the limits of international law. The "international community" might agree that it is wrong to seize ships for ransom, but a few thugs with guns in Somalia beg to differ. Paper guarantees can do nothing to stop ocean hijackings.
Yet a Democratic administration and Congress are expected to take early action on the Law of the Sea Treaty, the ultimate in paper guarantees. A complex amalgam of ocean-related provisions joined together in one massive agreement, the LOST was first concocted decades ago. Blocked and then renegotiated, the treaty recently won support from a curious coalition ranging from environmental activists to profit-seeking oil companies.
LOST, which essentially creates a second UN, is an artifact of the collectivist "New International Economic Order" popular in the 1970s, but is being resold as a guarantor of freedom of the seas. The convention obviously doesn't do anything to prevent piracy. Moreover, the recent contretemps between the U.S. and Chinese navies suggests that Beijing hasn't gotten the memo about the LOST's navigational guarantees. Rather, the People's Republic of China argues that the treaty entitles it to restrict American transit in international waters.
Last month, the USNS Impeccable, an unarmed spy ship, was operating 75 miles from the PRC's Hainan Island, which contains a submarine base. Chinese vessels ordered the U.S. vessel to leave and harassed its operations, causing the U.S. Navy to send in a supporting destroyer.
Territorial waters extend only 12 (nautical) miles, but all nations are empowered to exercise control over resources in the so-called Exclusive Economic Zone, which extends 200 miles. Washington's position is clear: the American navy is allowed to conduct activities "in waters beyond the territorial sea of another state without prior notification or consent," according to Department of Defense spokesman Stewart Upton. But Beijing disagrees: "The U.S. claim is totally inaccurate and confuses right and wrong and is unacceptable to China." A defense ministry spokesman called on the U.S. "to respect our legal interest and security concern."
Washington would seem to have the better argument, though Beijing's contention that "peaceful" uses of the ocean do not include spying is plausible. Shen Dingli, director of Fudan University's U.S. Studies Center, contends that "This is no non-harmfully passing by."
Most significant, however, is the fact that the LOST fails to offer the clear, unambiguous protection of navigational freedom as claimed by its proponents. What ensured the Impeccable's ability to complete its mission was the U.S. Navy's power, not the LOST's text.
This is, in fact, a major defect in the case for the treaty. It is true that LOST largely codifies customary international law, which favors free transit. After all, most countries benefit from unrestricted navigation, which encourages global commerce.
However, LOST only offers a paper guarantee. The convention might certify the Impeccable's right to spy 75 miles off of China's Hainan Island, but it does not offer practical protection of the Impeccable's right to do so. If the PRC -- or Brazil, Malaysia, or Pakistan, which also purport to forbid intelligence-gathering within their EEZs -- believes it to be in its interest (and ability) to prevent foreign passage, it isn't going to spend a lot of time interpreting LOST provisions before acting. Geopolitical interest and military capability, not juridical technicalities, will determine the reality on the high seas. (Ironically, Beijing sends its own survey ships into contested waters claimed by Japan as the latter's EEZ.)
Washington and Beijing subsequently agreed on the importance of avoiding similar incidents in the future, but the problem is only likely to grow as the Chinese develop a blue water navy. In fact, about the same time PRC ships were harassing the Impeccable, a Chinese vessel was interfering with the operation of another American ship in the Yellow Sea about 125 miles from China's coast. Last month, Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair told the Senate Armed Services Committee: "In the past several years, they have become more aggressive in asserting claims for the [EEZ] which are excessive under almost any international code." Despite China's adherence to LOST.
Although the treaty's major alleged navigational benefits are more theoretical than real, LOST incorporates significant downsides. Most important, while so-called Part XI governing seabed mining was renegotiated in 1994, the result was only less bad. The system established remains flawed in both principle and practice.
LOST was originally promoted to redistribute wealth from First World democracies to Third World autocracies. The International Seabed Authority would regulate private ocean development, mine the seabed itself through an entity called "the Enterprise," and pay off favored nations and groups hither and yon. The '94 amendments changed none of these objectives.
True, the U.S. now at least has a seat (though no veto) on the ISA's "Council." Explicit provisions for production controls and technology transfers have gone from clear and clearly bad to ambiguous and only possibly bad. But there are other negatives: U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens believes the treaty, if ratified, will have to be treated by U.S. courts as self-enforcing, that is, creating directly enforceable obligations.
He might be wrong, but treaty proponents are talking excitedly among themselves about the new litigation opportunities created by LOST. Professor William C.G. Burns of the Monterey Institute of International Studies wrote that the convention "may prove to be one of the primary battlegrounds for climate change issues in the future." In his view, "the potential impacts of rising sea surface temperatures, rising sea levels, and changes in ocean pH as a consequence of rising levels of carbon dioxide in sea water" could "give rise to actions under the Convention's marine pollution provisions." Like a good lawyer, he dismissed the argument that the document did not authorize such litigation: "While very few of the drafters of UNCLOS may have contemplated that it would one day become a mechanism to confront climate change, it clearly may play this role in the future."
Environmentalist activists also look forward with anticipation to using LOST Article 207, which directs countries to "adopt laws and regulations to prevent, reduce and control pollution of the marine environment from land-based sources." When questioned, treaty advocates claim the provision is merely hortatory, without effect. Yet it already has occasioned litigation between Ireland and Great Britain.
Indeed, Citizens for Global Solutions and the World Wildlife Federation have promoted the convention as a means to stop Russian pollution in the Arctic. They have yet to explain how the convention could bind Russia but not America. In fact, in a private email mistakenly sent to me, one LOST lobbyist warned his colleagues that it would be difficult as a result to allay "conservative fears" of the treaty being "some kind of green Trojan Horse."
No wonder Bernard Oxman of the University of Miami warned LOST backers to shut up about their plans for the future. He explained: "it is essential to measure what we say in terms of its effect on the goal. Experienced international lawyers know where many of the sensitive nerve endings of governments are. Where possible, they should try to avoid irritating them."
Finally, the UN's own Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea proclaims that LOST is not "a static instrument, but rather a dynamic and evolving body of law that must be vigorously safeguarded and its implementation aggressively advanced." If you like activist judges at the national level, imagine what you will get at the international level.
Before the Senate rushes to bind the U.S. through the Law of the Sea Treaty, members should consider the trade-off they are being asked to make. The convention offers paper benefits but imposes real costs. It's a deal only a pirate could love.

..... Your understanding of world politics is bordering on total ignorance, and the result is that you will eventually be almost solely responsible in turning away the few alliances that we are still able to muster for our cause to survive here as a Jewish entity, alongside our neighbors. Your party's business should focus on your constituents and their fate as equal citizens in this land, not by offering them second rate housing projects in the heartland of Palestinian and Israeli Arab heavily populated centers. However, I increasingly find that Shas in particular, as well as most religiously motivated political movements, have cut insincerity down to a fine art. I have become totally and utterly convinced that you are out to sabotage our presence in this land, without of course bearing the consequences, or for that matter, paying the price by at least significantly increasing the numbers of military recruits from your ranks. I expect no reply from you for the reasons stated above. I write to you in English with the explicit purpose of disseminating this letter after you have received it and offering you the opportunity to debate my severe allegations.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
In March 2004 Al Qaeda won its first parliamentary election in Europe. It installed the trailing candidate José Luis Zapatero as prime minister of Spain. It clinched this victory just three days before the election by exploding 10 bombs causing the death of 191 people and the wounding of 1,700 others.
The grateful prime minister quickly repaid his election backers by withdrawing his country's 1,300 troops from Iraq.
On November 7, 2006, Al Qaeda looks set to win its first U.S. Congressional election. This time Al Qaeda's campaign strategy has shown itself somewhat earlier: a steady but deliberate boost in the body count of American casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan as the election approaches. It is daunting to think what peak this may reach by the eve of the election.
In the past, the Muslim Brotherhood and its terrorist agencies have been content to simply scare off foreign troops with dastardly acts of wholesale terror. Like the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, which left 240 American servicemen dead and 40 others wounded. Despite then-vice president George Bush's statement that America "would not be cowed by terrorists," all U.S. troops were pulled out within 6 months.
This time Al Qaeda is gunning for Congress. But why bother flying a plane into the Capitol building if you can defeat President Bush through the ballot box? Why hijack an aircraft in the sky when you can hijack votes on the ground? Even now, the very fear of a GOP defeat is forcing the Bush administration into seeking some kind of exit strategy in Iraq.
Virtually everyone agrees that the Iraq policy has failed. My personal view is that it was right for the U.S. to remove Saddam, a tyrant to his own people and a clear threat to world peace. Being firmly of the view that "Arabs don't do democracy," I was pleasantly surprised that the coalition managed to organize a free election. But I can't see this freedom lasting, especially if the coalition withdraws.
The fact that the Iraq policy is stalled does not necessarily mean that the only sensible option is to withdraw. However much enmity there may be for America in the region, such a retreat would betray all those who seek freedom from tyranny. They will never again trust the West.
In particular, such an open abandonment of desperate people on the very cusp of freedom would totally undermine the chances of any popular uprising against the mullahs in Tehran. That remains the best and most risk-free way of restoring freedom to the people of Iran and neutralizing its nuclear threat.
But when the time comes for Iranian students to stand before the tank-treads, they need to be certain that the free world will not abandon them in their hour of need. Nothing will deflate them more than America turning its back on Iraq. And nothing will empower them more than an American president who sticks to his promises and thumbs his nose at the pollsters.
If America beats a hasty retreat, it is almost certain that radical fundamentalists will emerge from the ensuing civil war in control of Iraq and its oil wealth. With support from Iran in the East, this new Axis member will quickly overrun its Western neighbor Jordan and finish Abdullah and his Hashemite Kingdom. Then the Islamists will at last have Israel completely encircled in an arc of terror stretching from Lebanon, to Syria, to the new Islamic Republic of Jordan and of course Palestinian Gaza.
Yes, the Iraq policy has stalled. And yes, something dramatic needs to be done. But failure cannot be an option.
The answer is not to bring troops home, but to send out an equal number of fresh troops to double the forces of freedom in the frontline of the war on terror. And then to win that war. That was, of course, the original objective.
Writing these lines from London, linked by tunnel and treaty to a continent of appeasement, I find it astonishing that Americans – particularly Jewish Americans – would allow Al Qaeda a congressional victory by empowering a Zapatero platform of retreat and withdrawal in voting Democrat in the coming election.

Seventy-one members of the Assembly, including Glen Cove Assemblyman Chuck Lavine, who heads the New York chapter of the National Association of Jewish Legislators, joined in the effort to secure a majority to protect the rights of Jewish voters.
Students in New York City schools are protected by publicly funded security guards, so it would seem a no-brainer that students attending non-public schools be similarly protected.
Next month I am due to participate in a London debate on the question: Is it OK for Jews to criticize Israel? One of my opponents is a leader of the Peace Now movement who, in a previous debate about the UK's academic boycott, steered the discussion to his own army service (as an IDF spokesman, no less) and promptly branded Israeli border guards as "paramilitary thugs."
Just like an office fire alarm, the Gaza flotilla affair sent thousands of Jews all over the word into a well-practiced drill.
For American taxpayers, the devil is in the details of the new health care law. But for the Jewish people and the State of Israel the devil is in the comparison between Barack Obama's steamrollering of health care legislation and his developing Middle East policy.
The passing of Rabbi Menachem Porush in Jerusalem on Sunday night brought to mind many memories of my childhood. He was a close friend and working colleague of my father, Simcha Unsdorfer, z"l, who served as secretary general of British Agudah. Always impeccably dressed in kapota and cufflinks, Rabbi Porush had an almost regal bearing […]
It is hard to imagine a scene as joyous and religiously charged as Machpela on the Friday night of Parshat Chayei Sarah. Every year, many thousands of Jews from all over Israel, and hundreds more from Europe and America, flock to the tomb of our patriarchs, which Abraham purchased for Sarah's burial nearly 4,000 years ago.
The British government's ban on Moshe Feiglin from entering the UK is symptomatic of a deep and institutional prejudice against Israel. Feiglin, a Jewish Press columnist, is best known for running second to Benjamin Netanyahu in the last Likud leadership primary.
The throngs of tourists passing Big Ben are unaware of the tunnel beneath their feet, which connects the parliamentary committee rooms in Portcullis House to the British House of Commons. When the division bells ring, members of parliament sprint along the passage to cast their votes in the chamber. It was in one of those committee rooms last Thursday evening that a group of MPs met with foreign lawmakers to discuss boycott, divestment and the indictment of a sovereign nation with the arrest of its officials for breach of international law.
Did you hear the one about Nelson Mandela, the pope, Mother Teresa and the Jew? Turns out they are the only non-Americans ever to have received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congres-sional Medal of Honor. The Jew? None other than our own icon of freedom, Natan Sharansky, the former refusenik and prisoner of conscience who earlier this month received his Medal of Freedom at the White House.
