Excellent tour! Our tour guide was wonderful and really made the trip very pleasant for all of us. Everything went like clockwork and going into the inner circle was very cool to say the least. Nice clean bus and every stop was fun and exciting!

Excellent!! The whole day was fun but being at Stonehenge close to sunset and being in the inner circle was Magical. When you go, take "some" pictures but be sure to time to just enjoy the experience. Next time we return to London I want to do this... with no camera and just enjoy.

Stonehenge is very isolated. If you're going to go there, you owe it to yourself to go inside the stone circle.

This was an awesome tour. Getting to go into the inner circle was well worth the extra cost. We would encourage everyone to take this tour. It was a great day.

Congratulations! You've won the case and your client is entitled to collect costs from its opponent. The hard part is behind you (unless your opponent appeals, of course), but collection of costs is an important and sometimes tricky task that must be handled carefully and timely. The following checklist will guide you through the process of preparing a bill of costs:
Review Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(1).
Rule 54(d)(1) allows for payment of costs to the prevailing party in federal court actions. That Rule provides:
Except when express provision therefore is made either in a statute of the United States or in these rules, costs other than attorney's fees shall be allowed as of course to the prevailing party unless the court otherwise directs; but costs against the United States, its officers, and agencies shall be imposed only to the extent permitted by law. Such costs may be taxed by the clerk on one day's notice. On motion served within five days thereafter, the action of the clerk may be reviewed by the court.
Review the local rules of the court where the action is pending.
Always look to the local rules of the court where the action is pending to determine if the court has its own rules or procedures. For example, most courts have local rules that address motion practice - rules that require motions to include a memorandum of law, to be limited to a certain length, to contain a certificate of conferral with your opponent, or to be formatted in a particular style.
However, some courts also have more specific local rules that address particular types of motions, such as motions to tax costs. For example, Local Rule 4.18(a) of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida provides: "In accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 54, all claims for costs or attorney's fees preserved by appropriate pleading or pre-trial stipulation shall be asserted by separate motion or petition filed not later than fourteen days following the entry of judgment. The pendency of an appeal from the judgment shall not postpone the filing of a timely application pursuant to this rule."
Some courts might also require or prefer a particular form of a bill of costs. Oftentimes, courts will post forms on their web sites to assist litigants. Simply go to the court's web site, and look for a "Forms" link. Chances are, you'll find a bill of costs form that you can download.
Always remember to review the local rules of the court where the action is pending to determine if the court has its own rules or procedures for taxing costs - particularly a specific time requirement. This is a critical part of the process of preparing your bill of costs.
Determine the categories of costs that are taxable.
28 U.S.C. section 1920 sets forth the categories of costs that are taxable in federal court actions. That statute provides:
A bill of costs shall be filed in the case and, upon allowance, included in the judgment or decree.
States typically have similar statutes to determine what kinds of costs are taxable. Remember to check court rules as well. For example, Florida has Statewide Uniform Guidelines for Taxation of Costs in Civil Actions. Florida's guidelines provide for taxation of the costs of: (1) deposition transcripts (when used for certain purposes, such as at trial or to support or defeat a summary judgment), (2) expert witness fees, (3) travel expenses of the prevailing attorney incurred in connection with taking depositions out of the city or state, (4) travel of non-expert witnesses who travel for attendance at trial, (5) witness fees for non-expert witnesses who reside out of state but attend trial and testify pursuant to arrangements made with them by the prevailing party, (6) long distance telephone calls to witnesses arranging for conferences, depositions or trial testimony, (7) Xerox or other machine produced copies, and (8) the daily copy of the trial transcript portions used for impeachment.
Review the statutes and case law that govern taxation of costs.
The United States Code contains sections that address some of the categories of taxable costs set forth in 28 U.S.C. section 1920. For example, 28 U.S.C. section 1821 addresses witness fees; 28 U.S.C. section 1828 addresses interpretation services fees; 28 U.S.C. section 1914 addresses fees of the clerk; 28 U.S.C. section 1921 addresses fees of the United States marshal; and 28 U.S.C. section 1923 addresses docket fees. There is also plenty of case law on bills of costs that sets forth what is taxable and what is not. Review the case law in your jurisdiction to determine how the courts there have interpreted the applicable statutes.
Gather your documentation to support your bill of costs.
Now that you know when you must file your bill of costs, what costs are taxable, and what form of bill of costs the court requires (or prefers), you should gather your supporting documentation (receipts, invoices, etc.), which you must include with your bill of costs. This step can be easy if you have kept track of your expenses and supporting documentation throughout the litigation. This can be as simple as routing to a single file throughout the case copies of all case-related invoices, with descriptive notes on the invoice, if necessary, to identify the purpose of the expenditure.
Sort your costs documentation into the categories of taxable costs.
Most bill of costs forms contain a line item for each category of taxable costs. You should sort your supporting documentation into the various categories, and then add the costs to so that you have a total for each category, which you can add to obtain a total of all costs.
Fill out your bill of costs.
Once you have sorted your supporting documentation and added your costs, you can begin to fill out your bill of costs by inserting the totals for each category of taxable costs. Remember, most bill of costs forms contain a line item for each category of taxable costs, so this part is easy. However, you must also attach to your bill of costs an itemization and documentation for requested costs in all categories. As an example, you could use the following itemization format:
Fee/Check Amount
Filing Fee / Notice of Removal
Fee/Check Amount
Transcript of pre-trial conference
Transcript of deposition of Mr. Witness
Witness Name
Total Cost of Each Witness
Mr. Witness
2 days
Review your bill of costs for accuracy.
Remember that a bill of costs is a submission to the court just like any other, and you should treat it accordingly. Review it for accuracy. Make sure the categories add up appropriately.
Verify your bill of costs.
28 U.S.C. section 1924 provides:
Remember, this is only a checklist to guide you through the process of preparing a bill of costs. You must always know and follow the applicable rules and case law in your jurisdiction. When in doubt, ask.

I was up on the mountain for a few hours yesterday and can personally attest to the fact that spring skiing and riding is now in full effect in the mountains of Park City. Well it will be spring for at least for another day or two, because we have what looks like a return to winter coming on Sunday!
The spring skiing reminded me of a post I wrote a couple of seasons ago on how to best experience our mountain during spring conditions (bear in mind that since that post was written, Ski Team lift options are now served by Crescent Lift, and I also neglected to add the Mid-Mountain Lodge deck as another great option to soak up lunchtime rays).
So, break out the sunblock and sunglasses and enjoy springtime in the mountains - it's one of my favorite parts of the ski season (just after a bottomless Utah powder day). What's your favorite kind of day on the mountain?!
With all of this new snow, is there any consideration being taken to remain open longer this season?
Eric replies:
James, the new snow is an amazing change from just a few days ago, from spring corn to face shots! As a matter of fact I just got down from some of the best turns of the year. However, at this time we are still set on our scheduled closing date of April 12, so get up and enjoy the next two weeks!

The Canadian Forces (CF) mission deployed in Kingston, Jamaica, formally lowered the Maple Leaf flag today to mark the end of Operation JAGUAR and celebrate the successful completion of its mandate.
"Canada and Jamaica enjoy close, long-standing and historic bilateral relations. The Canadian Forces have enjoyed a productive 45-year relationship with the Jamaica Defence Force, which has been mutually beneficial,†said the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence. "I'm proud our Forces are building on their long-standing traditions of working with allies and making a difference in the lives of others.â€
Operation JAGUAR began with a request from the Government of Jamaica for military aviation and search-and-rescue support. Task Force Jamaica, the team deployed on Operation JAGUAR, arrived at Up Park Camp, the headquarters of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) Air Wing, on August 10, 2011, with three CH‑146 Griffon helicopters and 65 Canadian Forces personnel under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Christian Lalande.
"It was an honour to participate in the flag lowering ceremony today that marked the end of Operation JAGUAR. We recognize those Canadian men and women who have had the opportunity to serve in Jamaica these past few months,†said General Walt Natynczyk, the Chief of the Defence Staff. "We were privileged to have had this time to strengthen our relationships, through training and experience, with our partners in the Jamaica Defence Force. It's my hope that we will continue to work together, both in the Caribbean and wherever we may be called upon to serve next.â€
Brigadier Rocky Meade, Jamaica's Deputy Chief of Defence, also attended. "The relationship between the Jamaica Defence Force and the Canadian Forces has been a long-standing one and is an embodiment of the mutually beneficial relationship shared over the past four decades,†he said. "The Jamaica Defence Force would like to recognize the efforts of the Canadian Forces for their commitment to the task. Notably, Operation JAGUAR serves as a testament to the continued collaborative efforts between the Jamaica Defence Force and the Canadian Forces.â€
The recently concluded Operation JAGUAR assisted in fulfilling the mandate of the JDF while enabling the Canadian Forces to conduct mission-essential training for search-and-rescue operations. Since August 16, when flying operations began, Task Force Jamaica supported the JDF with 29 search-and-rescue missions, casualty evacuation missions and medical evacuation missions, assisting 31 Jamaicans. Search-and-rescue training – more than 445 hours in total as of November 14 – resulted in qualifications for 17 pilots and flight engineers.
With their mandate successfully completed, the members of Task Force Jamaica are now preparing to return to Canada with their aircraft and equipment. All CF personnel are scheduled to be back in Canada by the end of November.

John Mayer And Katy Perry's New Video For 'Who You Love' (VIDEO)
John Mayer and his lady love Katy Perry debuted the video for their new song "Who You Love" on "Good Morning America" Tuesday, but in case you missed it, we've got it for you here!
John Mayer and his lady love Katy Perry debuted the video for their new song "Who You Love" on "Good Morning America" Tuesday, but in case you missed it, we've got it for you here!
Katy Perry and John Mayer's duet 'Who You Love,' which appears on his album 'Paradise Valley,' will be the singer-songwriter's next single. Since it's a single, it has to have its own accompanying cover art and it features the couple posing in romantic fashion.
Off and on couple John Mayer and Katy Perry are firmly back on -- possibly permanently, if he has anything to say about it, because some sources are saying he's asked her to marry him.
We all knew Katy Perry and John Mayer were getting serious -- but who knew they were getting serious so fast? Sources say that John Mayer have already popped the question to Perry ... and he didn't get the response he'd hoped for.
John Mayer and Katy Perry are back together in a big way. It's not only good for their careers (they keep gushing about one another to the press to promote their new albums 'Paradise Valley' and 'Prism'), but also for their hearts. Turns out, Mayer is even considering taking the next step with Perry. What's that step?
"Who You Love" is the name of Katy Perry's duet with beau John Mayer and will appear on his sixth studio album "Paradise Valley," due out Aug. 20.
What the what? These two lovebirds are moving at lightning speed!
Not only have Katy Perry and John Mayer reunited (and it feels so good!), but there are now reports circulating that they are moving in together. *Gasp!*
For someone who likes to call his relationship "private" when asked about it, John Mayer had no problem gushing about Katy Perry onstage in front of a slew of cameras this weekend. It's almost like he had an album to promote or something!
If the matching patriotic shirts from Fourth of July didn't convince you that John Mayer and Katy Perry were an item and "on" again, perhaps this video of Mayer, revealing how and why he fell in love with "my Katy" while performing a 'A Face to Call Home,
Katy Perry admitted in her Vogue cover, on stands now, that she is still madly in love with her ex, John Mayer. Yesterday (July 4), she posted a photo of the couple locked in an embrace while wearing patriotic attire on her Instagram feed.
In our least favorite couples trend, recently reunited duo Katy Perry and John Mayer showed off their patriotism in matching stars and stripes outfits. Blergh.
Remind us again why it's disrespectful to let a flag touch the ground, but it's totally cool to wear it all over your body?
Now that Katy Perry and John Mayer are back on again, the 'Fireworks' songstress is laying down some ground rules for the 'Paper Doll' singer-songwriter. If he wants to date Perry again, he's got to follow some dang guidelines!

"During the raids, the teams seized several incriminating records pertaining to tax evasion, besides an unaccounted amount of about Rs. 1 crore. Undeclared fixed deposits to the tune of Rs. 65 lakh as well as several current bank accounts were also detected. Eighteen bank lockers and documents pertaining to business deals and property of the singers and firms were sealed," he said, adding that the firms could produce these records during subsequent investigations. The teams also seized records of stage shows by the singers.
As many as 22 teams of I-T officials had conducted simultaneous raids on 22 premises of singers and firms on Wednesday. The premises included residences of singers Diljit Dosanjh in Ludhiana, Gippy Grewal in SAS Nagar district and Miss Pooja in Rajpura (Patiala district), the latter's office in Jalandhar, offices of Batra films and Speed Records in Jalandhar and houses of owners and some directors of these firms. The raids, which started on Wednesday morning, came to an end on Thursday morning.
Sohi said comprehensive groundwork had been done before executing the raids. "The I-T sleuths have been gathering details about the business of these singers and firms for the past about four months. The exercise was conducted in view of the recent boom in the Punjabi entertainment industry, courtesy several hit films and successful music albums as well as stage shows by the singers," he added.
An IT officer said the industry's growth was not reflected in the I-T returns, especially of prominent players. He revealed that in one case, the I-T returns were just Rs. 5 lakh, which was too less a figure compared to the income of the person concerned.

Information on Pumps and Fireplaces
Searching for information on essex fireplaces is probably not something that you choose to do for the purpose of filling up the extra time that you have within your day. Instead, you would likely choose to engage in social media applications or simply listen to your music collection. As a result, it is safe to assume that searching for material on this subject means that you would like to have a fireplace added to your property. If this is the case, you already know just how amazing this tool can be in order to enhance the comfort of your home. When you live in an area that is extremely cold, you will find yourself struggling to get comfortable on a regular basis. However, this is not something that you have to make the choice of battling against. Instead, you can contact a company that would be located near you. The location would result in faster service that you are going to be very pleased to be able to count on. Also, the fireplace would begin to enhance your home in no time at all. If you have spent quite a bit of money on heating your property in the past, you are probably looking for a solution that would allow you to stay warm without resulting in a bill that you are going to struggle to pay. Once you have a fireplace installed, you would be able to heat the property and enjoy a large savings in the process.

However, it is important to remember that a fireplace is going to come with a bit of effort on your property. There needs to be proper plumbing within the space in order to limit the potential risks that you have to deal with. Also, your plumbing needs to be installed correctly for pumps within the home. If you do not have any idea about the state of your plumbing within the property, it would be a good idea not to assume. Instead, you may want to call a plumber and have them take a look at your property in order to ensure that you would be able to have a fireplace added without having to face additional risks that you may be worried about. There are many reasons that you should want a fireplace in addition to the heat that it offers. In fact, this would be great for couples that are simply looking for a way to spend more time together. It has gotten more difficult to engage in romantic activities with the person that you love. One reason why this is so would be the cost of almost everything that you would consider doing. However, having a fireplace within your home would give you somewhere to sit and relax with the person that you love. When you combine this with the savings on heat and the beauty that it would add to the overall look of your home, this is something that every person should consider having done today.

pretty much just the girl next door
Genuine, caring, independent, loyal, trustworthy, goofball. I have a pretty positive personality. I love the smell of campfire in my hair but i also enjoy a good night out in the city with friends. I like to do a little bit of a lot of things. In no particular order here are a few examples: hiking, kayaking, singing (to my steering wheel), woodworking, snowboarding, knitting, running, watching movies, playing nerdy board-games with wine and friends etc. I like to spend time with my family and friends (but who doesn't?). I love to learn new things, meet people, explore and laugh. I grew up in New Hampshire. I moved to Montreal for four years for undergrad (I am still terrible at speaking French; please don't test me haha). I lived/worked in Barbados for a summer in college, and then moved to Massachusetts for work for 5 years. Just moved down to Raleigh for graduate school at NCSU I am an aquatic plant biologist..."what the heck is an aquatic plant biologist?' you say. Well, it is what it sounds like but suffice it to say I spend the months of April to October driving to pretty lakes boating around them and writing down all of the plant species in them. The rest of the year I basically spend analyzing and writing about what I did all summer. "Oh so aquatic plant biologist is like the best job ever?" you say. Yes, yes it is. Qualities that I find attractive are: intelligence, integrity, sense of humor, sense of adventure and just being a good friend in general.

I want a real BAD boy who's a real GOOD man" ~ McGraw
Before anything... please.... HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR! If it's witty and sarcastic, I'll consider that a bonus. If not, at least accept the fact that my sense of humor is super sassy and sarcastic. If you take life too seriously, mosey along and good luck because I ain't the girl for you. *shrugs* About me.... I pride myself on integrity and character. My girlfriends know that I'm loyal and brutally honest. We joke around and say that if we'd call each other at 4 a.m. asking for a shovel, there would be no questions asked. I would do anything for them and likewise. I love, Love, LOVE to cook and quite often my friends show up with grocery bags just so I can cook for them (and it's my pleasure). I hardly cook for myself though. I guess you can say I'm certainly a giver. I like to nurture but I'll never baby. Raised the Cuban old-fashioned way... I love to take care of my "guy" but it's nice to be taken care of as well (or a simple thank you works wonders). I try never to be mean or hurtful, though in an argument or disagreement it's hard for me to give up the last word. I'm highly ambitious, confident, have a very strong character and no self-esteem issues. I figure God got it right the first time. I don't like shallow people and I try to be as least judgmental as possible. When I do anything, I try to do it 110%. Sometimes I wish the day had extra hours. I love to learn. As young as my toddlers are, they always manage to teach me something. I don't have much family, technically it's just my mom, so my friends ARE my family and I place them in high regard. I love music. All kinds. I think it has the capacity to brighten your day as well as just the opposite, bring you down. I'm a big movie buff. Love dramas, some foreign, comedies, classics, whatever... I'll watch anything. I have a few tattoos... well, a few more than a few.... but nothing I can't show or hide whenever it calls for it. Besides, I've been in the legal field almost twenty years (and before a judge quite often) and I've yet to hear a complaint. I'm as comfortable in a pair of old jeans and a tank top... as I am in a skirt and heels and can be ready to go in 20 minutes... I was raised by my mom and grandmother. I miss the country I was born in, though I hardly knew it. I am the daughter of a well-cultured woman who lost a battle with Alzheimer's. I miss growing up, but not enough to do it again. I daydream about Spain. I want to travel. I value deep relationships and I love good conversation. I need integrity in others. I pray for courage. I like being kept on my toes and guessing. I like to be challenged and I'm always trying to better myself. What I'm looking for? Sometimes I think it doesn't exist. I guess you could say the typical Alpha male. Dominant. Even maybe a touch arrogant (just a little). Very sure of himself. I don't think you should ever second guess yourself. A guy who definitely doesn't take no for an answer. Intense. Handsome. Honorable. Self-possession. Confidence. Not to be handled. Intelligence. Patience. Character. Integrity. Decent. Caring. Compassionate. Loyal. A good friend. Honest. Dependable. Considerate. Appreciative. Strong, and not just physically. Certain of own decisions. Serious thinker. Self-aware. At ease. All that, but still affectionate, passionate and romantic when it counts. I'm not asking for the world, am I? Just the world that's right for me.

Are you kidding? I live in Miami. A new hot spot pops up practically daily. Noisy clubs aren't my scene though. We'll go dancing on occasion, get our fill and be done with it. A good meal completes me though. I'm a foodie.
Classic rock, country, classical, metal, 80s, Christian, alternative, new wave, dance, salsa... TV? Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, True Blood, Hung, Cake Boss, Food Network, Greys Anatomy, First 48, Biography, SYTCD, House...so on...
Hanging out with my children, my friends, COOKING, Tivo (greatest invention EVER), online shopping (I hate being at the mall... really I do. No joke.)
Currently on book 2 of Game of Thrones....

Recently discovered Mayan portrait of a woman opens new chapter in Maya history
The discovery was made earlier this year in Guatemala at the site of Naachtun, a Maya city located some 90 kilometres through dense jungle north of the more famous Maya city of Tikal. The woman's face, carved on a stone monument called a stela [STEE-la] – and in an artistic style never before seen – suggests women played significant roles in early Maya politics.
"I've worked in the Maya area a long time and I've never seen anything like it," says Dr. Kathryn Reese-Taylor, the director of the U of C-led Naachtun project. "We have images of queens, who ruled both singly and with their husbands or sons, depicted on stelae later in Maya history beginning in the early 6th century AD. But this stela is completely unique in style and likely dates to the 4th century AD."
The woman could be a figure from Maya history, but researchers are tantalized by the possibility she might be a mythical figure. Hieroglyphic inscriptions of the Late Classic period (600-900 AD) mention female deities, but none have ever been discovered on a stela. "If this is a patron deity, then it is extremely rare," Reese-Taylor says. "When hieroglyphic texts do mention women, it is usually in the context of being either someone's mother or someone's wife."
The stela measures two metres in height, one metre in width, and 50 centimetres in depth. It was buried by the Maya inside an ancient building after their city was attacked and the inscriptions on the stela were hacked off by the invading forces. The burial was a reverential act meant to honour the individual whose image was carved on the monument. An infant's burial accompanied the stela.
"This represents an extraordinary event in the history of Naachtun and we were really lucky to find it," Reese-Taylor says.
Dr. Julia Guernsey, a professor of Precolumbian Art History at the University of Texas at Austin, says the gender of the figure portrayed on the stela is unquestionably significant.

Over the years, I have been asked many times how to call a Report Writer report to make it behave the same as if it was called by the original code.
If you are member of the Source Code program, you could always find the run report command in the source script and that would provide the information about the Restrictions or Legends passed. However, this information can be obtained without needing access to the source code.
The Dexterity Report Writer has a debugging feature which we can leverage to obtain the information we need. There are two methods of activating the DebugRW functionality:
Once active, every time the Report Writer runs a report it will append to the DebugRW.txt file the details of how the report was called.
Below is the information logged for when the 'RM Customer Report' was printed from the Customer Maintenance window for customer "Aaron Fitz Electrical":
run report 'RM Customer Report' (256) legends " Current", " 31 - 60 Days", " 61 - 90 Days", " 91 - 120 Days", "AARONFIT0001 - AARONFIT0001", "Aaron Fitz Electrical - Aaron Fitz Electrical", "USA-ILMO-T1 - USA-ILMO-T1", "Retail - Retail", "PAUL W. - PAUL W.", "TERRITORY 1 - TERRITORY 1", "Aaron Fitz Elec - Aaron Fitz Elec", "98052-6399 - 98052-6399", "WA - WA", "42555501010000 - 42555501010000", "Bob Fitz - Bob Fitz", "by Debtor ID", "Type:", "User-Defined 2:", "Registration"( RM_Customer_MSTR(141).Customer Number(493) = "\012AARONFIT0001 " ) report queued with result = 1
NOTE: The Resource ID information in brackets for the report, table and fields. You can use the Resource Information window in the Support Debugging Tool to cross reference resources by their ID. This is sometimes useful when the name of the resource is not shown correctly and displays '[Not Found]'.
The Restriction is shown in the Table.Field format and will need to be converted to the Field of table Table format for the actual Dexterity call. The Legends will probably need a little analysis to identify what information is being passed to the report. You might need to change options and print the report again to see what changes the options can make to the legends. Once you have the legends identified you can then place the values into the string fields to pass to the report.
Based on the information captured, you will be able to generate a run report command similar to one below:
run report 'RM Customer Report' with restriction 'Customer Number' of file RM_Customer_MSTR = 'Customer Number' legends l_legend1, l_legend2, l_legend3, l_legend4,l_legend5, l_legend6, l_legend7, l_legend8, l_legend9, l_legend10, l_legend11, l_legend12, l_legend13, l_legend14, l_legend15, l_legend16, l_legend17, l_legend18, l_legend19;
As you can see this technique can be used to help a developer understand how they can call existing reports.
Many times on the newsgroups, I see questions from developers new to Microsoft Dynamics GP along the

Lines for launch of Apple's new iPad declared 'better than expected'Lines for the new iPad in New York City were declared "better than expected" on Friday, considering Apple began accepting preorders online more than a week ago.
Analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray counted the number of people in line Friday at Apple's stores in New York City, and found that the crowds were smaller than last year's iPad 2 launch. But last year's launch came later in the day, at 5 p.m., and Apple also didn't take iPad 2 pre-orders in 2011.
Munster counted 750 people in line at the flagship Fifth Avenue Store, compared to 1,190 for the iPad 2 last year. In addition to the pre-orders and earlier start time, he said the new Grand Central Terminal Apple Store probably took some traffic away from the glass cube on Fifth Avenue.
Munster has maintained his prediction that Apple will sell a million units on launch day, including pre-orders. He expects Apple to announce that figure next week, on Monday.
"We believe this would imply iPad units slightly ahead of the Street at 10.2 million for the March quarter," he said in a note to investors on Friday.

Customers who order a new iPad from Apple's online store will wait an estimated two to three weeks before their order ships. The launch of the new iPad has been Apple's largest product roll-out ever, as sales began on Friday in a total of 10 countries.
Munster believes that Apple will sell 60 million iPads this year, with sales growing to 86.5 million in 2013, 122 million in 2014, and 176 million by calendar year 2015. In the coming years, he expects that Apple will continue to maintain majority market share of the tablet space, and he also believes that Apple will release a smaller, sub-$300 iPad in 2013.

Excluding merger costs and restructuring charges, the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based bank's earnings were up about 4 percent to $270.2 million, or $1.32 a share. Including the charges, Wachovia earned $205.3 million, or $1.00 a diluted share, in the third quarter. That compares with reported net income of $257.5 million, or $1.25 a share, a year ago.
Wall Street was expecting the company to post operating earnings of $1.32 a share, according to market research firm First Call/Thomson Financial. Wachovia, which is the process of cutting 1,800 jobs as it revamps its operations, said pre-tax restructuring charges and merger-related costs totalled $99.8 million in the third quarter. The bank said the rest of the restructuring charges, about $30 million, will be taken in the next two quarters.
Wachovia's provision for loan losses in the third quarter was $124 million, up from $76.8 million during the same period last year. Net interest income, after the provision for loan losses, fell 6 percent to $506.8 million.
The bank holding company in June warned investors that rising interest rates would hurt second-quarter and full-year profits. In September it said its president and chief operating officer, G. Joseph Prendergast, would retire after the end of this year.
Visteon Earnings Fall
Third-quarter earnings at auto parts supplier Visteon Corp. fell 69 percent due to price and production cuts by its former parent, Ford Motor Co.
Visteon said its earnings totaled $48 million, or 37 cents a share, for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with $155 million, or $1.19 a share, in the year-ago period.
The results equaled Wall Street expectations that Visteon had lowered in August, according to analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial.
Revenues fell 4 percent, from $4.6 billion to $4.4 billion.
Visteon attributed the earnings decline to a 5 percent price cut given to Ford before being spun off as a separately traded company. Ford accounted for 83 percent of Visteon's business in the third quarter, Visteon's first full quarter on its own since the spinoff in June.
Visteon also was hurt by the shutdown at three Ford factories to shift tires from new cars to replacing 6.5 million recalled Firestone tires. The parts maker also said the weakness of the euro against the dollar dragged on profits as well.

Sitting just off Interstate 40 about 9 miles northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina, The Umstead Hotel and Spa strives to provide guests with a sense of tranquility. The hotel's designers had a keen eye for detail: The Umstead's ornamentations are reflective of its natural surroundings, with plants and statues of animals adorning the lobby and other common areas; guest rooms feature muted green tones. Accommodations are equipped with Keurig coffee makers, free Wi-Fi access and beds with pillow-top mattresses. Travelers rave about The Umstead's appearance as well as its services and amenities, including the soothing treatments at the Umstead Spa, the seasonal outdoor pool and the AAA Five Diamond Award-winning Herons restaurant. But above all, guests credit the hotel employees for their positive experience; many note that the concierge and front desk staff make a point to learn your name.

SAN DIEGO, May 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Tactile, Inc. (MTI), with the support of The Pre-Mammogram Foundation and Qualcomm Incorporated, today announced that they have developed a pre-commercial SureTouch™ Wireless system that uses 3G-enabled tactile sensor technology for breast cancer screening.
According to a publication funded by the Susan G. Komen Foundation, 1.6 million women worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and 425,000 women died from the disease. Although early detection is the best means to a good prognosis for breast cancer, developing countries are particularly affected because 80 percent of women 30-70 years old live in these regions of the world, while only 10 percent of mammogram procedures are conducted there.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation estimates that approximately 70 percent of newly diagnosed breast cancers are found by women through their sense of touch during regular self-exams. Unfortunately, the average-size lump found through self-exam is approximately 2.5cm, while the average-size lump found by trained clinicians using palpation is approximately 1cm.
The SureTouch system can detect masses as small as 0.5cm by using tactile sensor technology, also known as stress elastography, to measure the reactive pressures generated by cancerous tissue, which can be more than 100 times harder than normal tissue. The current SureTouch system has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for documenting the Clinical Breast Exam (CBE) in the United States and is already used in China, India, Turkey and sixteen other countries as a screening tool for breast cancer. The SureTouch Wireless system can be used effectively to diagnose women of all ages and is designed primarily for use in medical centers by low-skill technicians to provide affordable, radiation-free, comfortable and clinically effective breast exams. 3G wireless connectivity also enables remote evaluat

PM approves plan to pull back troops from Gaza refugee camp
According to Palestinian sources, IDF forces left the Jebalya refugee camp and the town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Thursday accepted an Israel Defense Forces plan to reposition troops from the Jebalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip to the adjacent hills.
Sharon's decision came at the end of a meeting with Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and senior IDF officers.
Citing safety concerns, the IDF recommended a redeployment of forces earlier this week. Sharon was opposed to easing-up the current IDF operation - Days of Penitence - which is meant to bring an end to Qassam rocket attacks on the town of Sderot and nearby communities in the Negev.
According to the decision, the size of IDF forces taking part in the operation will be reduced. The operation, however, will continue, and forces will be on alert and ready to push into the Gaza Strip in the event that rocket attacks on Sderot will persist.
According to Palestinian sources, the IDF started pulling forces from the Jebalya refugee camp and from the town of Beit Lahiya prior to Sharon's meeting with Mofaz.
During the past week Mofaz avoided making any reference to the prime minister's differences with the IDF.
Earlier on Thursday, Sharon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the IDF operation in northern Gaza would continue as long as there were casualties on the Israeli side.
IDF officers taking attending the committee meeting noted that the operation is achieving its goals and that dozens of members of militant organizations, belonging to nine rocket-launching cells, have been killed.
The officers noted that due to the IDF operation, militants launching Qassam rockets have been forced to retreat. They also said that the number of rockets launched has decreased significantly, and that the level of accuracy has been greatly diminished.
Five Palestinians killed in IAF air strikes ThursdayFive Palestinians were killed, two of them Hamas militants, in Israel Air Force missile strikes in the Gaza Strip early Thursday.
Two Hamas militants were killed in an IAF strike in the Jabalya refugee camp, in northern Gaza. According to the IDF, troops targeted militants that had been planting explosives.
Palestinian witnesses and medics reported three fatalities, including a 70-year-old man, in an IAF strike in the Rafah refugee camp, in southern Gaza earlier Thursday. Seven more Palestinians were wounded, residents of the camp said.
Five Palestinians killed in Gaza on WednesdayA 16-year-old boy was shot dead and his 7-year-old cousin hit in the stomach by IDF fire close to the Rafah refugee camp on Wednesday, hospital sources said.
Witnesses said the fire came from IDF vehicles moving along the Gaza-Egypt border, just south of the camp.
The IDF said that the boys had been in a no-go zone.
Also Wednesday, an IAF missile strike killed a Hamas militant in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, hours after troops and tanks moved into the area.
Hamas officials identified the dead man as 24-year-old Hassan Shakfi.
Earlier Wednesday, two armed Palestinians were killed by a tank shell in Beit Lahiya. The IDF said that the two were members of a cell that was firing Qassam rockets.
Witnesses and hospital officials said that seven other people were wounded by the shelling.
Earlier in the day, Palestinian medics said an IAF helicopter fired a missile into a house during a gun battle, killing Hamas militant Mohammed Marous, 22.
Three other militants were wounded, two of them critically, they said. The fighting erupted before dawn, as IDF tanks moved deeper into the town.
Palestinians fire two Qassams at SderotMeanwhile, Palestinians fired two Qassam rockets at the Negev town of Sderot on Wednesday morning.
The rockets landed in an open area a little outside Sderot, and no injuries were reported. The rocket early-warning system that went in place Tuesday in Sderot worked according to plan and the alert was heard throughout the town, said Sderot's municipal security officer.
"The system is a success," said Yehuda Ben-Maman.
Troops also destroyed the Jenin-area house of an Islamic Jihad militant involved in attacks against Israelis, Army Radio reported Wednesday.
Girl, 12, shot by IDF in Khan Yunis dies of her woundsA 12-year-old Palestinian girl died in a Khan Yunis hospital Wednesday of wounds sustained when she was shot by IDF troops in the Gaza Strip refugee camp the day before.
The girl was seriously wounded inside her United Nations-run school when IDF fire from nearby the Neve Dekalim settlement, in Gush Katif, aimed at what the army said was a Palestinian mortar squad.

The lost tribes
The Church of England, the unions, the political parties - even our football team - have let us down
The Church of England, the unions, the political parties - even our football team - have let us down
by Robert Winder Published
The slim red cross of St George has been making a comeback for some years now, and no one has waved it more eagerly than football fans. Given the frequency with which they end up dazed by beer, as they wrangle with the police in some faraway country, this has not always been a happy association. Much has been made of the class divisions it illuminates: St George might be essential decoration for a white van, but he would not be seen dead on a silver-grey Mercedes. There are also racial overtones: English nationalism has some sour streaks, and as an expression of national pride - even on the joshing, pantomime level of football rivalry - this sort of flag-waving remains a far-from-inclusive gesture. At least one pub chain in Birmingham has banned the emblems; London's black cabs sport them at their peril.
Perhaps the flag really can be recaptured from its more extreme standard-bearers and given a fresh coat of rejuvenating face paint. If national pride could be cheerful and good-tempered, who could possibly object? Certainly, it has been busily marketed: shops are heaving with St George's mugs, wigs, pens, banners, stickers, balloons and bunting. Given that the man himself was a mythical Turkish knight, glimpsed in visions by Christian crusaders, and merged with Arthurian and classical stories, his magical reappearance among us, after so many years secreted away in the Union Jack, is both novel and anachronistic, a radical piece of symbolism and, at a time when the national identity is both fluid and under challenge, something of a throwback.
If this call for tribal solidarity - raised by such disparate groups as the UK Independence Party (Ukip), English football fans and the BNP - strikes some as unwelcome, no one can deny that there is a vacuum waiting to be filled. Many of the old national networks, the binding agents around which society was organised, have frayed or been looted in recent decades. The various component parts of the Union flag have been separated and restitched as individual national icons by political devolution, so it is no longer politically sensitive or desirable for an English man or woman to wave the Union flag - indeed, it is rarely glimpsed outside Northern Ireland and the Olympic Games. It is possible to argue that "Britain" remains an attractive idea - a political and cultural union that makes mini-multiculturalists of us all - but more energy is going into detaching the component parts than in riveting them together. In popular culture, "Britain" grows ever more distant, a historic, public-school notion cherishable only by retired colonels and mandarins. The market is favouring more compact units of pride.
Other once-proud institutions have been dissolving, too. The Church of England and the historic trade unions have grown quiet or been modernised (now that we have so few coal miners, shipbuilders or motor manufacturers) into near-oblivion, and family ties have been stretched, as advanced communications and job mobility uproot and whirl people across both the country and the world. Even the old class divisions have been criss-crossed by bolder badges of identity connected to race, sex or religion. As a result, England itself often feels like an empty concept, almost an absence - a grey area between the more vivid nationalisms of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and elsewhere.
These may be parochial issues, but they chime with larger forces. Across the world, liberation movements or aspirant "nations" are chafing at the real or imagined strictures of modern geopolitics, and clamouring for recognition (if not power). They may be tribal in the original sense, or religious; they may be political or ethnic. In Africa, where some 5,000 tribes have been jammed by centuries of colonial rule (and misrule) into 50-plus countries, the results of this friction are horrific, and we see similar eruptions of local identity everywhere from the Middle East to the Philippines and from Spain to India.
Such uprisings are usually taken to be a local or regional reaction against the demands of globalisation, a complicated set of commercial considerations which boils down, in public discourse, to a simple sweeping mantra ("Bigger is better") that strikes many of its victims as the opposite of progress. Movements such as communitarianism are a secular attempt to create, through politics, the old neighbourly networks that withered through neglect.
In England's case, the recent eruption of anti-European sentiment, on which Ukip cleverly capitalised, has its roots in an emotional resistance to the scale, as much as the nature, of the enterprise, a sense that its elites are "faceless" and "unaccountable". Naturally, in reverting to simple nationalism, it is often forgotten that nationalism itself is a relatively recent innovation, only a few centuries old, and with a mixed record. It has inspired some dizzy achievements, but its squabbles have claimed millions of lives. The attempt to resuscitate a medieval symbol, born out of a crusading war, denies the impact of modern immigration, which insists that Britain is a place, not a race; a vibe, not a tribe.
The resistance to agglomeration may be only one of the engines driving us towards a new tribalism. Its twin is also its flip side: the culture of individualism that has detached people from their communities - whether to boost their self-esteem through the politics of self-assertion or to create a market of atomised consumers. We live in an age, it has been said, where we bowl alone. We also watch television alone, live alone, eat alone and die alone. As Julie Burchill once wrote, we have Friends instead of friends, and Neighbours instead of neighbours. iPod, we think: therefore I am. This lonely strategy has been matched by an equal-and-opposite appetite for group identity. As the old tribes dissolve - family, village, language and nation - so the dislocations of modernity promote a parallel desire to cling on to them before they disappear for ever.
Modern life also promotes a willingness to form new groups, whether they be tiny book clubs, informal networks of friends, or cults and churches. The sense of belonging, it turns out, will not go down without a fight. There is even a renewed perception, after years of me-me strutting, that groups and crowds are smarter than we think. In his new book The Wisdom of Crowds, James Surowiecki reminds us what happened to the anthropologist Francis Galton in 1906. To demonstrate the stupidity of the average Briton, Galton went to a country fair and invited a sizeable crowd (787 people) to guess the weight of an ox. The result was surprising. Although no single individual guessed the weight correctly, the average guess produced a figure - 1,197lbs - just one pound short of the true weight. The crowd, in other words, was smarter than any of its members.
Surowiecki pursues this thought into other fields where groups are more intelligent than even the cleverest individuals. In so doing, he rebuts the idea that individual excellence or leadership is what counts. In one sense, his thesis chimes with free-trade economics (the market is always right), but it also confirms that democratic truths are where wisdom resides, and that we neglect this at our peril. An interesting addendum to the Galton story is that, because the average was right, all the mistaken participants could well be made to feel "disenfranchised" and excluded.
Surowiecki makes the important point that for crowd wisdom to be representative, you need a great deal of diversity in the sample: uniformity is what creates errors. It is an important qualification. Without diversity, the crowd becomes merely a mob. This is why many will be rightly fearful of what may be thrown up by the new tribal urge. Tribes, we feel, are nations without diplomacy (or even, as in the case of the soccer tribe, manners). Chief among their characteristics is an urge to settle disputes with their fists. They are exclusive and fundamentalist; they often stipulate or propose racial conformity as a condition of membership. Football fanatics might even turn out to be one of the least significant manifestations of the trend: playful, Punch-and-Judy versions of a more acrid impulse. National pride, we might easily say, goeth before a national fall. But at a time when people have overlapping loyalties, tribalism, in seeking to promote one ring to rule them all, retains the menacing silhouette of something to be feared. Who would have thought that the unprepossessing vocabulary of the me-me generation would be supplanted by a fresh burst of us-and-them?

This year's "Great ShakeOut" is Oct. 16; the Loma Prieta earthquake happened Oct. 17, 1989
On Thursday, Oct. 16, — at 10:16 a.m. — the annual Great ShakeOut earthquake drill will ask people around the world to take cover for a minute, practicing what they might do in the case of a real quake. It's estimated that more than 25 million people will participate in this year's event, which is organized by the Southern California Earthquake Center.
This coming Friday marks the 25th anniversary of a Californian earthquake that was far from a drill.
On Oct. 17, 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake hit the San Francisco area. A 7.1 on the Richter scale, it was the worst quake in the region since 1906's legendary tremors. According to TIME's coverage of the aftermath, it was the "costliest natural disaster in U.S. history" at the time, in terms of dollars. It was estimated that the earthquake would cost the area about $10 billion; the vast majority of affected homes were not covered by earthquake insurance and parts of the I-880 freeway had to be demolished. Some speculated that the residual costs of the quake would stunt the Bay Area's growth as a financial and business region. A year later, the actual cost was adjusted down to a mere $6 billion, but many people rendered homeless by the event were still without a place to live.
Within five years, however, Loma Prieta had been matched by the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California; a year later, another major quake in Kobe, Japan, brought the topic back into the news (as on the cover of TIME, above). Though the damage from such extensive earthquakes seems like something that a simple drill can't affect, that's not actually the case. As TIME put it in the Jan. 30, 1995, issue:
Much of the property damage from earthquakes, however, and not a small number of injuries, result not from cracking buildings but from heavy objects flying around and slamming into human flesh. Homeowners can be far more earthquake savvy, securing furniture, TV sets, bookcases and especially water heaters to the walls. Fires in the wake of an earthquake often do more damage than the quake itself, and many a fire has been caused by a top-heavy water heater keeling over, ripping a gas line out of a cellar wall and breaking it in the process. There is little evidence that people are taking these simple precautions, however. Few of those living around major faults really believe an earthquake is likely to strike until it actually does–and then, of course, it is too late.
The potential for a disastrous earthquake is no different today than it was back then — but, 25 years after Loma Prieta, millions of people are trying to do something before it's too late.

A Monumental Day
Today the weather was beautiful and we would make the most of it. After a late breakfast we caught a ride to the metro and after trying unsuccessfully to convert our residual balances into Day Passes, we caught a train to downtown DC. Our first stop: Caroline's Cousin's Rental House, aka the White House.

We woke up at a reasonable hour and had a delicious breakfast in the hotel. After packing a small daypack we caught the hotel shuttle the nearest Metro stop and bought tickets to go downtown. The Parade had started at 11 but we arrived on the route at about 11:30 and still saw 1.5 hours of parade. It seemed like every little highschool in the DC …

Originally written on BruinsLife | Last updated 1/27/13
Bourque and Neely combined for 77 goals and 106 assists for the '90-91 Bruins. With a win Monday night, the Bruins would improve to 4-0-1 on the season, matching their best start to a season since the 1990-1991 campaign. That season, Cam Neely and Ray Bourque brought the Bruins to the ECF, where they fell to Mark Recchi and the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Penguins. Standing in their way are the Carolina Hurricanes, who so far this season have been pretty average sitting at 2-2-0. This team for the past six seasons has relied upon strong goaltending from veteran Cam Ward, as well as solid two-way play from one of the best centers in the game, Eric Staal. But the difference in this years Hurricanes team is the depth. They added added veteran winger Alexander Semin from the Washington Capitals. The 28-year old Semin has averaged 31 goals per season over the past six years, giving Eric Staal his first legitimate right handed scoring threat since Ray Whitney. Their first line is ...

Coperion GmbH
|Coperion GmbH Patent applications
|Patent application number
|SCREW MACHINE AND METHOD AS WELL AS PROCESSING INSTALLATION FOR THE PROCESSING OF BULK MATERIAL - A processing installation for the processing of bulk material has a vacuum filter insert for degassing of the bulk material. The vacuum filter insert is arranged in a casing of a screw machine downstream of the feed opening thereof and is provided with at least one filter element so that the vacuum filter insert forms a gas-permeable wall portion which defines the at least one casing bore of the screw machine. Seen in a degassing direction, a protective element comprising a plurality of through-openings is arranged upstream of the at least one filter element. The protective element acts as a granule protection for the at least one filter element and prevents granular bulk material from damaging the at least one filter element. As a result, the vacuum filter insert has a longer service life, thus ensuring a long operating time for the processing installation without interruptions.
|METHOD FOR STARTING UP A PROCESSING PLANT FOR PRODUCING PLASTICS MATERIAL GRANULATE AND PROCESSING PLANT FOR PRODUCING PLASTICS MATERIAL GRANULATE - In a processing plant for producing plastics material granulate, the start-up takes place in such a way that a screw machine is firstly driven by means of a drive device and then plastics material to be processed is fed by means of a metering device into the screw machine. At least one conveying position of the plastics material in the screw machine is determined by means of a control device by evaluating at least one measuring signal. Depending on the conveying position determined, a granulating device is activated and put into operation. The method according to the invention allows a direct start-up of the processing plant without the use of a start-up valve. This ensures an easy and safe start-up of the processing plant.
|LOADING SYSTEM FOR LOADING BULK MATERIAL FROM A BULK MATERIAL PRODUCTION PLANT ONTO A SHIP AND UNLOADING SYSTEM FOR LOADING BULK MATERIAL FROM A SHIP ONTO TRANSPORTERS - A loading system for loading bulk material from a bulk material production plant onto a ship has at least one stationary intermediate storage container for receiving the bulk material from the bulk material production plant. A first loading conveying device is used to convey the bulk material from the bulk material production plant into the intermediate storage container. A second loading conveying device is used to convey the bulk material from the intermediate storage container into the ship. An unloading system for loading bulk material from a ship onto transporters has a stationary intermediate storage container for receiving the bulk material from the ship. Two unloading conveying devices are used to convey the bulk material, from the ship into the intermediate storage container and, from the intermediate storage container into the transporters.
|DEVICE FOR PRODUCING GRANULES MADE OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS - A device for producing granules has a water-cooled granulating mechanism for producing plastics material granules. A discharge line arranged downstream of the granulating mechanism discharges a starting mixture flow and a granule heat exchanger arranged downstream of the discharge line controls the temperature of the mixture containing the plastics material granules and cooling water using parallel fluid passages. The granule heat exchanger has an inlet and an outlet for a transmission heat exchanger medium. A drying mechanism arranged downstream of the granule heat exchanger dries the plastics material granules. The device also may have an energy recovery mechanism arranged downstream of the discharge line for recovering energy from a recovery cooling water flow, containing at least a part of the cooling water of the starting mixture flow. The device uses waste heat, transmitted to the cooling water to increase the performance of the device and improve the energy efficiency thereof.
|METHOD AND PROCESSING INSTALLATION FOR DEVOLATILIZING POLYMER MELTS - A processing installation for devolatilization of polymer melts comprises a first extruder and a second extruder arranged downstream thereof in a direction of conveyance. The first extruder comprises several rotatably drivable first shafts which are provided with first treatment members and several devolatilization zones with associated devolatilization ports. Correspondingly, the second extruder comprises several rotatably drivable second shafts which are provided with second treatment members and several second devolatilization zones with associated devolatilization ports. The first treatment members have an external diameter which is smaller than or equal to that of the second treatment members. A devolatilization unit is arranged in a transfer zone which interconnects the extruders. The devolatilization unit comprises a perforated plate and a clearance arranged downstream in the direction of conveyance. A control unit is configured in such a way that when the processing installation is operated, the speed of the second shafts is lower than the speed of the first shafts. The processing installation allows a high devolatilization performance and a high polymer throughput to be achieved at the same time. A throttle is arranged in the transfer zone upstream of the devolatilization unit when seen in the direction of conveyance, with the position of the throttle being adjustable by means of the control unit.
|CONVEYOR DEVICE FOR PNEUMATICALLY CONVEYING BULK MATERIAL - A conveyor device is used for the pneumatic conveying of bulk material. The conveyor device has a main conveyor pipe and a plurality of bypass conveyor pipe sections which are separate from one another and arranged one behind the other within the latter. The main extent direction of the bypass conveyor pipe sections runs along the main conveyor pipe. The bypass conveyor pipe sections in each case have an inlet opening and an outlet opening for conveyor gas. The inlet opening, when the main conveyor pipe is horizontally installed, is arranged in a cross sectional portion of the main conveyor pipe, which is located above a cross sectional portion of the main conveyor pipe, in which the outlet opening is arranged. The result is a conveyor device, of which the efficiency, in other words the ratio of the conveying power and the conveyor gas quantity used, is improved.
|Screw Machine - In a screw machine, to extend the material to be prepared with the latter, at least one processing element is configured as an extension-kneading element, the crest region of which has a reduced thickness compared to a flank region and, with adjacent processing elements, forms an extension channel for the material in the region between the triangles, which tapers in cross section in the flow direction of the material. Because of the tapering of the extension channel, the material is accelerated in the flow direction thereof and extended, so that high-molecular particles in the material are divided and the latter is therefore homogenized.
|SCREW MACHINE - A screw machine for treating at least partially powdery bulk material has a housing with at least one housing bore and a screw arranged in the housing bore. A vacuum housing portion is provided, which is formed as a vacuum housing insert, which is releasably attached in the housing, in which a metal nonwoven is exchangeably held as a gas-permeable wall portion on a base body.
