First Pitch - What You Need to Know
The Mizzou baseball team will open its 2012 season this weekend as it travels to Auburn, Ala., for a three-game series with Auburn University at Samford Stadium. The three-game series will begin Friday afternoon (Feb. 17) at 3 p.m. and conclude Sunday (Feb. 19) at 1 p.m. First pitch Saturday is scheduled for 3 p.m.
Series History Mizzou and Auburn have met just twice over the years, most recently in 2010 when Mizzou topped Auburn, 11-7, on Feb. 27 in a game that was also played at Auburn. Former Tiger Aaron Senne homered twice in that game and the top five spots in the Tiger order accounted for 13 of Mizzou's 14 hits. The two teams also met in 1996, with Mizzou claiming a 5-4 win over Auburn.
SEC Flare Of course, this weekend's series will serve as a preview of what the Tigers will see in the 2013 season when they officially join the Southeastern Conference. The series with Auburn is the first of two series against SEC schools that Mizzou has scheduled for this season. The other will come in May when the Tigers visit Arkansas for a pair of midweek games. In all, Mizzou holds a 36-33-1 overall record against schools currently in the SEC.
Anderson Back and Fully Healthy Heading into the 2012 season, the Tigers should have a strong weekend rotation, bolstered by a healthy Eric Anderson, who sparked the Tigers' second-half surge last season. Anderson went 3-0 last season and the Tigers won all but one of his seven starts after he returned to the starting rotation prior to the Baylor series last year. Mizzou was 6-1 in weekend games that he started last season, with the only loss coming in the Big 12 title game in which he pitched on three-days rest.
Plenty of Fresh Faces Despite returning the bulk of its batting order, the Tiger pitching staff will be full of fresh faces in 2012 as 17 newcomers have joined the team this season. Nine of the 17 newcomers are pitchers and the majority of them will make an immediate impact this season. Brett Graves and Brandon Platts were both MLB Draft picks over the summer and should play pivotal roles for the Tigers this season. Graves figures to be the team's closer while Platts will fight for a spot in the starting rotation.
Recapping Last Season
Mizzou finished the 2011 season on a surge that left it just one strike away from claiming the Big 12 Tournament title against eventual College World Series participant Texas A&M. Regardless, Mizzou won four of its final five Big 12 series and became the first-ever No. 8 seed to advance to the Big 12 Championship game. A lineup change by head coach Tim Jamieson prior to the Tigers' Baylor series and the insertion of Eric Anderson back into the starting rotation were the keys for the Tiger turnaround last season. Mizzou won 13 of its last 24 games last season and 12 of its last 20 Big 12 games, including posting a mark of 11-6 against teams that qualified for NCAA Regional play last year and a 4-2 mark against top-10 teams in that span.
What returns for Mizzou
The Tigers return a lot of firepower offensively and two of three weekend starters from a season ago. In all, Mizzou returns seven of nine position players from a season ago, including All-Big 12 honorable mention selection Blake Brown (.267, 7 HR, 34 RBI, 20 SB) in the outfield. Mizzou returns six of its top seven hitters from a season ago as well and only has to fill holes at the shortstop and designated hitter positions. Other key returners are listed below.
Brannon Champagne (OF) - .294, 27 RBI, 13 SB, .962 fielding
Conner Mach (3B) - .285, 4 HR, 32 RBI, 11 SB, .399 slugging
Eric Garcia (SS) - .276, 2 HR, 26 RBI, 14 SB
Ben Turner (C) - .269, 14 RBI, .991 fielding percentage
Scott Sommerfeld (1B) - .304, 1 HR, 15 RBI, .996 fielding percentage
On the mound, Mizzou returns Eric Anderson (3-0, 4.93 ERA, 26 Ks, 12 BB) as its Friday night starter and Rob Zastryzny (2-5, 4.33 ERA, 70 Ks, 27 BB) returns for his sophomore season after landing on the All-Big 12 Freshman team a season ago. Dusty Ross and Jeff Emens also return for the Tiger bullpen.
What Mizzou Will Need to Replace
Although the Tigers return the majority of its team this year, they will need to replace two All-Big 12 honorees from a season ago. The biggest hole to fill will be replacing lefty closer Phil McCormick, who was as durable as any Tiger pitcher in school history. He appeared in a school record 36 games last season and led the Tigers in wins (eight), ERA (3.50) and saves (eight) as he was the team's most valuable pitcher. The Tigers will also need to replace their top hitter from a season ago - Jonah Schmidt. The senior led the team in hitting (.317), RBI (38), total bases (106), slugging (.486) while accounting for six home runs and 11 stolen bases.
Tigers Picked Fifth in the Big 12
The Mizzou baseball team was picked to finish fifth in the Big 12 this season as announced by the conference office on Tuesday (Feb. 14). The fifth-place pick is the highest for the Tigers since 2009, when they were also picked fifth. The highest that Mizzou has ever been picked in the preseason poll is second in 2008.
MLB Draft Picks to Bolster Pitching Staff
A pair of MLB Draft picks out of high school decided to put their major league dreams aside and come pitch for Mizzou this season, giving the Tigers a pair of quality arms on the mound in 2012 to add to an already quality pitching rotation. Both Brandon Platts and Brett Graves could have begun their professional careers over the summer, but instead will be appearing on the hill for the Tigers this weekend. Platts was a 13th-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates while Graves was chosen in the 26th round by the hometown St. Louis Cardinals.
Cline Earns Spot in Weekend Rotation
Heading into the season, the weekend rotation seemed to be set for the first two days with the return of Eric Anderson and Rob Zastryzny, but the Sunday spot was still up for grabs. Heading into this weekend's series with Auburn, redshirt sophomore Jeff Cline has claimed that spot. Cline, who transferred to Mizzou from Maplewoods Community College, boasted a 6-3 record and a 2.30 ERA last season. With his insertion into the weekend rotation, Cline should likely become one of the Tigers' top impact newcomers this season.
Mach Returns After Being Drafted
Tiger third baseman Conner Mach returned to Mizzou for his senior season despite being one of four Tigers drafted in last year's MLB Draft. Mach was drafted in the 46th round by the New York Yankees. Mach finished the season hitting .285 with 32 RBI and 31 runs scored. He boasted an OBP of .378 and slugged .399 on the year with 17 extra-base hits with four home runs. He was one of the Tigers' hottest bats following a lineup change prior to the Baylor series, hitting .321 with all four of his home runs in the span.
Speed an Asset for Tigers
Last year, the Tigers swiped 94 bases as a team, a mark that led the Big 12 throughout much of the season. Speed will likely play a role on this year's team as 65 of those 94 steals return this season. All-Big 12 outfielder Blake Brown is the Tigers' top returning base stealer with 20 last season, a mark that ties him for fourth all-time in Mizzou history and the most since Jayce Tingler also stole 20 in 2001.
As a team, the 94 steals were a school record, topping the previou mark of 83 stolen bases, which was set on two separate occasions. In fact, Mizzou had just 61 steals in the previous two seasons combined before swiping 94 bags last season.
Garcia Slides Back to Shortstop
A lineup change that sparked the Tigers' second-half surge last year saw Tiger infielder Eric Garcia move from second base to first base, a position that he had never played before. While he saw success in that spot, Garcia will move back to his familiar position at shortstop this season.
Mach Back on Infield
Another key component of last year's second half turnaround was moving Conner Mach to left field and after the change, he swung a very a hot bat. Mach should be one of the Tigers' top returning bats this season but figures to be back in the infield at third base. Mach leads all Tiger returners in total bases (91) and runs scored (65), while ranking second in RBI (32) from a season ago.
Brown Named CCL All-Star
Mizzou junior outfielder Blake Brown was selected to the 2011 California Collegiate League (CCL) All-Star Game over the summer while be played with the Santa Barbara Foresters. In all, he hit .291 with two home runs and was one of the team's top run producers with 12 RBI and 13 runs scored. He also slugged .509 with an OBP of .379 with eight walks and was a perfect 6-6 in the stolen base department this summer. He started 16 games and owned a perfect fielding percentage on the summer.
Jamieson Leads Team USA
Mizzou head baseball coach Tim Jamieson wrapped up his stint as the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team head coach last summer. In all, Jamieson led the club to an 11-2-1 overall record. Jamieson's .821 winning percentage this summer is the eighth-best in Collegiate National Team history, which dates back to 1984 (28 seasons). The team's two losses are its fewest since 2008 when the team went 24-0.
Over the summer, Jamieson's only losses came to Japan and the NECBL All-Stars as his club was outstanding all summer long. Team USA still took the overall series from Japan after winning the first three games. Jamieson's team dominated nearly every facet of the game during the season as his team outhit opponents .277 to .207 and posted a 1.73 ERA to it opponents 4.98 clip. Team USA also scored 87 runs in 14 games (more than six per game) while limiting its opponents to 40 runs in 14 games (2.85 per game). Mizzou assistant coach Dan Pietroburgo was an auxiliary coach with the team as well this summer.
Anderson Pitches For Team USA
Team USA had another Mizzou connection this summer as well. Tiger junior Eric Anderson was one of the team's top pitchers over the summer. He led the team in ERA (0.00), wins (two) while ranking second in innings pitched (12.0). He allowed just eight hits and two walks in his 12.0 innings of work and did not allow a run while striking out seven batters. Prior to his stint with USA Baseball, Anderson threw two games with Falmouth in the Cape Cod League and posted a 1.50 ERA.
Francis Howell Connection
With 17 newcomers on the team, there will be plenty of fresh faces on the field for Mizzou this season, but for a trio of freshmen, there will be a familiar feel. In fact, for Brett Graves, Jake Ivory and Case Munson, the 2012 season will just be an extension of their high school careers where they played together for four seasons, winning a MSHSAA State Title for Francis Howell High School last season. The trio has been playing together for nearly 10 years and should give Mizzou a strong foundation moving forward.
Tigers Raise Money For Joplin
Mizzou baseball raised $12,796 for the Joplin, Mo., Little Leagues with its Joplin Relief Games against Iowa in the fall. The baseball program partnered with Daniel Boone Little League, the Diamond Council, BC Baseball and The Callaway Bank to create a welcoming atmosphere for fans at Taylor Stadium. Large crowds packed the stands and helped raise the money, which will go directly to helping Joplin Little League rebuild its fields, that were ravaged by a tornado on May 22, 2011.
Ticket sales proved to be a major source of revenue generated by the two-day event as a total of $3,710 was brought in through ticket sales alone. The sale of former Mizzou baseball jerseys raised $2,250 and $4,081 was collected in private donations. Also concession sales amounted to $620 sales after Wonder and Farmland generously donated the hot dogs and buns for the event. Rounding out the revenue generated, raffle sales pulled in $910 while a silent auction and online auction combined to pull in $925.
All of the money raised will go directly to helping rebuild the fields for Joplin Little League. Following the tornado, the Little League received plenty of supplies and equipment but was left with the daunting task of rebuilding its fields. The purpose of the event was to raise money specifically to help create a place for Joplin Little League to play this year.
Plackis Named to Mizzou `39
Mizzou baseball redshirt junior Andreas Plackis has been honored by the Mizzou Alumni Association as a recipient of the 2012 Mizzou `39 Award, an award given to 39 seniors at the University of Missouri based of their outstanding service, academic achievement and leadership. Plackis has been a model student during his time at Mizzou and he will graduate in May with a degree in Biological Sciences as he will pursue a medical degree following his undergraduate studies. Plackis was an Academic All-Big 12 recipient in 2010, and has displayed great leadership in his years with the baseball program. He earned the Chancellor's Excellence and Leadership Award in 2010, and was also the recipient of the 2010 MU Unsung Hero Award.
Tigers Have Strong Presence in Pros
Mizzou baseball has seen plenty of success over the last decade and proof of that is the number of players that the Tigers have sent to the major league. Since 2000, the Tigers have seen 50 players sign professional contracts and 59 Tigers have done so under the direction of Tim Jamieson. Some notable Tigers in the professional ranks include All-Star second baseman Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers. Kinsler has been one of the most underrated players in the MLB over the past several seasons and maybe had his best year in 2009, slugging 31 home runs while driving in 86 runs and swiping 31 bags, doing so in just 144 games. Scherzer went 12-11 last year with a 3.50 ERA and 184 strikeouts in 195.2 innings pitched. Those two along with the likes of Kyle Gibson and AL All-Star Aaron Crow should likely give Mizzou a presence in the major leagues for years to come.
In addition, six Tigers were selected in last year's MLB Draft. Newcomers Brandon Platts and Brett Graves were both drafted out of high school. Platts was a 13th-round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates while Graves went in the 26th round to the St. Louis Cardinals. Matt Stites was picked in the 17th round by the San Diego Padres while three more Tigers - Phil McCormick, Conner Mach and Zack Hardoin - were picked on the second day of the draft. McCormick went to the Giants in the 31st round while Mach was picked up in the 46th round by the New York Yankees. Hordoin was taken in the 47th round by the Houston Astros.
Once again this year, KTGR ESPN Radio is the radio home of the Tigers, with all of the game being broadcast on 100.5-FM and 1580-AM. The games can also be heard online at KTGR.com. Tex Little is in his 22nd season of calling Tiger Baseball and is joined in the booth by Hunter Mense, who is in his second year as part of the MU broadcast team.
Video webcast for all Missouri Baseball home games in 2012 is available at mutigers.com as part of Mizzou All-Access. All-Access is the Tiger fans home for live and archived games for Mizzou Athletics, along with coaches' shows, press conferences and much more.

A senior from Queens, Saintedym Wills chose Binghamton because of its academic reputation and affordability. Wills considered majoring in music until science classes made her realize that medicine was the right track. The biochemistry major's decision is paying off: She spent the summer of 2007 working in Jamaica Hospital in Queens and took part in a Research Experience for Undergraduates project the following summer at Carnegie-Mellon.
"That (REU) experience really enhanced my critical-thinking skills," she says. "I loved it so much - just being in a different city and learning about Pittsburgh's culture."
Outside of class, Wills serves as the controller for Escape, the student-run charter bus service. Working with others while handling the organization's funds has taught her about teamwork, she says. She also is a Discovery Adviser, which has helped her realize the importance of time management and the ability to help her fellow students.
"It's a crucial program, especially for incoming freshmen," she says. "Students need to realize that college is fun, but they need to get their academics together, too. We show them different study habits, ways to get connected to other students and to just ease their transition."
Wills hasn't given up on music, either. She's played the piano since age 6 and got into Bach and Chopin at age 9. She now minors in music and teaches the instrument to friends.
"I feel like I'm getting better on piano," she says. "My classes are helping my technical skills and I'm able to improvise a bit, too."
Wills' work has impressed Rebecca Kissling, lecturer in the Chemistry Department.
"Saintedym is a can-do person," she says. "She visualizes what she wants to be and sets about to accomplish it, with seemingly boundless energy. The fact that she has served as an undergraduate TA for both philosophy and organic chemistry says a lot about the breadth of her talent and interests as well as her willingness to share her knowledge and experience with other students in the University."
Wills hopes to go to medical school for anesthesiology.
"I'm really happy with what I've done here," she says. "I've worked hard since coming here and I value the friendships I've made. I feel like I'm much more active here than I was in high school."

LONDON (AP) - Neither No. 1-seeded Novak Djokovic nor No. 2-seeded Andy Murray has lost a set heading into the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
The way things have been this fortnight, that's actually quite an accomplishment.
Rafael Nadal, a 12-time Grand Slam champion, was beaten in the first round. Roger Federer, owner of a record 17 major titles, went out in the second round, as did four-time major champ Maria Sharapova. Five-time Wimbledon winner Serena Williams' 34-match winning streak ended in the fourth round.
And on and on it's gone, with no top-20 player other than Murray left on his side of the draw, and a record-equaling number of withdrawals or mid-match retirements because of health problems.
Djokovic faces No. 7 Tomas Berdych on Wednesday. Murray plays 54th-ranked Fernando Verdasco.

Deoxygenating apparatus and method for use with a system for producing deoxygenated beverages comprises a deoxygenating column with stacked units each comprising a distributor plate and a subjacent shallow tray, both of which are perforated for downward dripping of water. Carbon dioxide gas flows upwardly, counter to the water, in a serpentine path over the plates and trays and through the dripping water for replacing the air in the water by the carbon dioxide gas. The water flow rate and extent of perforation of the plates and trays is such that films of water cover the respective plates and trays to permit some of the carbon dioxide gas to bubble through the plates and trays and thereby enhance the absorbtion of the gas into the water.
1. A method of removing oxygen-containing air from water comprising: providing a plurality of deoxygenating units in vertical array and in which each unit comprises at least one horizontal foraminous member such that a number of members are vertically spaced to provide horizontal paths therebetween, passing water downwardly through said foraminous members at a rate sufficient to cause droplets of water to flow downwardly from member-to-member and at the same time leave a thin coating of water on at least some of said member, introducing stripping gas into the column in counterflow to said water so that some of the gas passes generally upwardly in a serpentine path that includes passage upwardly through an open central region of some of said members, passage horizontally through the spaces between said members, wherein said gas flows horizontally across the downwardly falling droplets, and passage upwardly around the peripheries of others of said members, the stripping gas thereby contacting said droplets to provide an exchange of stripping gas for the oxygen-containing air previously dissolved in the water, said coating of water being sufficiently thin such that the rest of the gas bubbles vertically through the coatings on at least some of said members to enhance further said exchange of stripping gas for oxygen-containing air at the same time said exchange is taking place due to gas flow along said serpentine path.
This invention relates generally to gas and liquid contact apparatus and methods, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for removing oxygen-containing air from water. The apparatus with which the present invention is concerned is a deoxygenating column which may form part of a system used for the production of beverages, such as soft drinks and beer.
The present invention relates to improvements on the methods and apparatus disclosed in U.S. Pat. to Skoli et al No. 4,216,711 granted Aug. 12, 1980. In that patent it is pointed out that beer concentrate or heavy beer may be combined with deoxygenated water to form an end product known as bright beer. The deoxygenation of the water is required because of the presence of even a fraction of part air in one million parts water can result in an unacceptable end product. Accordingly, there is disclosed in said patent a system which will combine beer concentrate or heavy beer with deoxygenated water on a continuous basis to form a bright beer for storage, filling or later operations. The system includes one or more deoxygenating columns in which the water is introduced through the top and falls downwardly through the column to an exhaust pump module. Carbon dioxide gas is introduced through a metering device and flows upwardly in a serpentine fashion to provide an effective counterflow arrangement that results in a highly effective removal of the air and oxygen from the water and replacement by carbon dioxide gas.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved deoxygenating column that results in an enhanced and more effective deoxygenating effect than has been obtainable with previously used apparatus. Specifically, the present invention can deliver water containing only 0.05-0.01 or less parts of air per million parts of water.
A further object of this invention is to provide a method of deoxygenating water which results in a random but effective co-mingling of the liquid passing downwardly through the column with the upperwardly flowing gas.
A more specific object to this invention is to provide an apparatus of the type stated in which the deoxygenating column can be made with a lesser height than presently available columns of comparable capacity. Viewed another way, for a given height the capacity of the column may be increased as compared to the columns of comparable height now available commercially.
In accordance with the foregoing objects the invention provides, in a deoxygenating column, a water exhaust pump bottom unit, water level control means mounted in and on the pump bottom unit for controlling the water level therein, a plurality of the deoxygenating units mounted atop the pump bottom unit in vertical array, and a metering device for introducing carbon dioxide gas into the column so as to provide virtually complete exchange of carbon dioxide for the oxygen-containing air previously dissolved in the water; means forming an outer column wall, at least one of said units having a horizontal foraminous distributor plate inwardly of said wall, and means forming an opening centrally of said distributor plate; said wall, plate, and last-mentioned means forming a foraminous structure of sufficient porosity to leave a coating of water on the plate of thickness such that some of the gas bubbles through the distributor plate and the remainder of the gas flows across said plate and through said opening.
The invention further embodies a method of removing oxygen-containing air from water comprising: providing a plurality of oxygenating units in vertical array and in which each unit comprises at least one horizontal foraminous member such that a number of the members are vertically spaced, passing water downwardly through said foraminous members at a rate sufficient to cause droplets of water to flow downwardly from member-to-member and at the same time leave a thin coating of water on at least some of said members, introducing stripping gas (such as carbon dioxide) into the column in counter-flow to said water so that the gas passes generally upwardly in a serpentine path that includes a central region of some of said members, the spaces between the members wherein the gas flows horizontally across the downwardly falling droplets, and the peripheries of others of said members, the stripping gas thereby contacting said droplets to provide an exchange of the stripping gas for the oxygen-containing air previously dissolved in the water, such coating of water being sufficiently thin such that some of the gas flows through the coating on at least some of said foraminous members to enhance further said exchange of stripping gas for oxygen-containing air.
FIG. 1 is a diagram, somewhat schematic, showing a system embodying the present invention for preparing a bright beer product from water and a heavy beer concentrate;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the improved deoxygenating column which utilizes the construction and method of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view, on an enlarged scale, of the deoxygenating column, particularly at the upper end thereof;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view similar to FIG. 3 but showing a portion thereof on much enlarged scale; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view of a modified form of deoxygenating column in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now in more detail to the drawing there is shown a system for producing an end product by combining a concentrate (eg. beer concentrate) and deoxygenated water. The concentrate may be stored in one or more tanks 14 and conveyed through piping 15 to a filter 16 and regulator 17 to a conventional proportioner unit 20. Deoxygenated water is continuously supplied through appropriate piping 22 to the proportioner 20 so that the concentrate and water are mixed by the proportioner to form the end product. The end product beverage is withdrawn from the proportioner 20 through piping 25 under the action of pump 26 which also serves to pump the beverage to a carbonator unit 28 for carbonating the mixture. The mixture then passes through pipe 29 and a flow meter 31 to storage tanks 33 or suitable bottling equipment.
The untreated water is initially supplied to the system through an input pipe 40 under control of a flow metering device 42. The raw water is withdrawn from the metering device 42 by a pump 43 and delivered through piping 44 to one or more deoxygenating columns 50, 51 of a type and character hereinafter more fully described. Broadly speaking, however, each column 50, 51 includes a pump bottom unit 52 and a number of deoxygenating unit modules 53, 54 etc. which are stacked in vertical array. The number of modules 53, 54 etc. which are stacked on each pump unit depends upon the amount of deoxygenating to be accomplished and the in-plant overhead clearance available.
In general, the columns 50, 51 are in series and water is introduced into each unit through a top inlet 55 and flows downwardly through the column to the bottom pump unit 52. Carbon dioxide or other stripping gas is introduced through a metering device 60 at the pump module 52, and the gas flows upwardly through the column to a column top 56 in generally counter-flow passage with respect to the water, thereby removing the air and oxygen from the water and replacing it by the stripping gas. Excess gas from the column 50 or 51 is exhausted through an outlet pipe 75 at the top of the column.
Deoxygenated water from the first column 50 is drawn off by the pump bottom unit 86 and delivered through piping 88 to the top of the second column for further deoxygenating action. The deoxygenated water from the second column 51 is pumped by the pump 87 through valve 95 and cooler 90 for delivery to the piping 22.
Switches may be provided from the pump unit 52 to assist in controlling the water flow through the columns 50, 51. Thus, a first switch 80 provides a low level control to cease the operation of the pump module in order to allow the water level to rise within the columns. A second switch 81 can be used to direct the oxygenated water away from the downstream portions of the system and to other apparatus such as filter for use in filter washing.
If desired, a third switch 82 and the valve 95 may be used as a high level control so as to operate a recirculating line 85 and route the water from the deoxygenating column 51 back to the flow meter 42 if the demand for water by the downstream proportioner 20 is reduced. This recirculation line 85, if included, can be connected at one end 92 downstream of the pump 87 and at another end 93 to the flow meter 42. The recirculating line 85 permits water to be continuously routed through the columns 50, 51 so as to deoxygenate the water to a predetermined amount before releasing the water downstream. The switch 82 and recirculation line 85 are not necessary to the effective operation of the invention, however.
Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 3 and 4, which show the novel deoxygenating column, it will be seen that the deoxygenating unit 53, 54 etc. each comprises a horizontal foraminous distributor plate 100 having an annular band of holes or perforations 102 and an upwardly turned central lip 104 which defines a central opening 106. The lip 104 serves to reinforce or rigidify the distributor plate 100 and may also constitute a relatively short stack for passage of the stripping gas, as will be presently more fully described. Welded or otherwise rigidly secured to and depending from each distributor plate 100 are circumferentially disposed bars 114 for suspending a foraminous tray 108 having a short, peripheral upstanding lip 110. The tray 108 is perforated to provide an annular band of holes 111 that is similar to holes 102 in the distributor plate 100. The inner and outer radial extent of the band of holes 102 is identical to that of the band of holes 111, and the several bands of holes 102, 111 are in vertically spaced registration. The tray 108 has a central imperforate portion 112 of circular configuration and which defines the inner radial extent of the band of holes 111. The outer radial extent of the band of holes 111 is adjacent to the lip 110. Since the distributor 100 is of larger diameter than the tray 108, the distributor is left with an imperforate peripheral rim portion 115 (FIG. 4).
The outer peripheral wall of the column 50 is comprised of a plurality of encircling wall sections 116 formed of a suitable known plastic such as a transparent polycarbonate resin of the type sold under the trademark "Lexan". Each wall section 116 comprises an outwardly projecting flange 118, flanges 118 having aligned vertical openings for receiving tie rods 120. Gaskets 124 are interposed between adjacent wall sections 116. Furthermore, the gaskets 124 receive the imperforate rim portions 115 of the respective distributor plates 100 so as to form seals thereat. The tie rods 120 are circumferentially disposed about the wall sections 116 and in a known manner are threaded into the anchors 122 and tightened down so as to maintain the several deoxygenator units and wall sections assembled into the column 50.
In use, untreated water from the inlet 55 is deposited on the uppermost tray 108 and from there drips downwardly onto the subjacent distributor plate 100. From the distributor 100 the water then drips downwardly to the subjacent tray and so forth from tray to distributor plate until the water is collected at the bottom of the column. The upperwardly flowing gas travels in a serpentine path through the central openings 106, through the horizontal spaces between the trays 108 and the distributor plates 100, and around the peripheries 110 of the trays, all as shown by the arrows in FIGS. 3 and 4, until the gas is exhausted through the top openings 75. The rate of water flow is such as to leave a film of water 135 on each of (or at least some of) the distributor plates 100 and on each of (or at least some of) the trays 108. This film or coating of water is of such thinness that at least some of the gas flows through the openings 102 in the distributor plate and through openings 111 in the tray while the remainder of the gas flows in the serpentine path, as previously described. Thus, the gas not only passes horizontally across the droplets of water draining from tray to distributor plate but also bubbles upwardly through the films of water on at least some of the distributor plates 100 and trays 106. The result is that the transfer of the gas to the water is considerably enhanced as compared to arrangements wherein the level of water in the tray forms a complete barrier to the passage of gas therethrough. Moreover, the shallow tray design herein makes the column 50 shorter for a given deoxygenating capacity.
The films 135 of water on the distributor plates and trays will, of course, vary somewhat in thickness from plate to plate or from tray to tray. In general, however, the film may be made of the order of one-sixteenth of an inch or less, and in some instances the film is sufficiently thin that at times the film provides substantially no pressure head across the plate or tray, as the case may be.
By way of example but not of limitation, the holes 102 or 111 may be one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter and seven sixty-fourths of an inch on centers. This provides approximately ninety-eight holes per square inch and 30 percent open area in the perforated zones. This high density of holes and hole area can be obtained by any of a number of known aperture-forming devices and processes.
FIG. 5 shows a modified form of the invention in which the column wall is a cylindrical shell 126. The trays 106 and the distributor plates 100 are supported on a series of vertical rods 128 that are located within the column and are supported at the pump bottom unit 52 in an anchor plate or spider 130. One such rod 128 is shown in FIG. 5, but it will be understood that there are a number of such rods circumferentially spaced around the central axis of the column. These rods 128 take the place of the bars 114. Thus, each of the distributor plates 100 and trays 106 is welded to the rods 128 at predetermined spaced intervals so as to provide a proper drip zone for the water while at the same time resulting in a compact construction. Alternatively, spacer bushings can be placed around the rods 128 so as to locate the plates 100 and trays 106 at the desired vertical intervals. The shell 126 may be maintained assembled with the column in any suitable way as by tie rods 132 that are threaded into suitable anchors as in FIGS. 2 and 3.

It sounds far more easy to just have a static boolean on the steering part of the character.
Although, remember it's better to get a component by type and not by string. Have a look at the GetComponent-function.

Tested this mascara today at a waterpark. Now this did minimal lengthening and volumizing by it did stay on all day with very little flaking and absolutely no running. Wooo, a waterproof mascara that doesn't give me raccoon eyes or make me look like I splattered black stuff all over my eyes! When I got home I washed it off using my regular Alpha Hydrox face wash and most of it did come off. Considering the how this cost pretty much the same as your drugstore mascaras, I'm impressed! I will be purchasing it again once I'm out.

I have used supposedly "wash-off" waterproof in the past and was sorely disappointed. I decided to try Avon's version since warmer (and sweatier) weather is upon us. I wasn't expecting much, because the ones I tried before took a jackhammer and paint-thinner to remove, and flaked all over my face like some creepy black dandruff 5 minutes after I put it on. This time though, it lived up to it's name! The mascara gives me full, lush lashes, stays on all day, and washes off with my regular face wash with no problems (or heavy equipment). My only complaint is that I can't find it on Avon anymore, and have to buy it from Ebay.....otherwise, it's an awesome product!

this mascara does what it says, it washes off, its waterproof and it makes your eyelashes the color you choose. it is an average mascara. i found it to be a bit heavy and clumped on my eyelashes more than other mascaras. its cheap enough to give it a try, but i would look elsewhere for a better mascara.

This mascara is so close, but not *quite* there for me. The best part of it is that there is no irritation to my sensitive, dry eyes. A rarity. Truly, truly a rarity for me. Another is the cheap price tag: $6.50 at regular price and around $2 when it goes on sale. The formula is thin and wet, which makes it possible to apply several coats w/o clumping or getting spider eyes. The drawback is that I tend to get it all over my lids and the use of a q-tip is necessary for clean-up. The brush itself is medium-sized w/ bristles that are stiff and far apart. It's very easy to handle (I don't do well w/ those gigantic "teddy bear" wands). When I back up from the mirror and take a look at my face after application, my lashes look darker, longer, and slightly thicker at the base; just more defined and "better." It's not a dramatic look, but it's not so super-natural that it looks the same as your bare lashes. It also holds up very well throughout the day and this is coming from a person who's [Asian] eye shape and lashes that point straight down virtually guarantee smudging along the outer/lower lashline, even after curling my lashes. Speaking of lash curling, this wilts the curl a tiny bit, which surprised me as most waterproof formulas hold curl VERY well. Removal at the end of the day is...messy. Most mascaras, even w/p, come off in one gentle swipe after a few seconds of holding a remover-soaked pad over my closed eyes. This one takes several swipes, mostly b/c the mascara comes off in little bits (much like a tubing mascara would) and you're spending a lot of time chasing those bits around your face. This is annoying to me and possibly problematic for contact lens wearers. Overall, though, this is a definite repurchase--just not quite HG status. **UPDATE 8/21/11: I've discovered that the removal process is much easier and "cleaner" if you just use your regular facial cleanser and water. Skip the w/p eye makeup remover, as this is what makes the mascara crumble. In other words, the name of this mascara is extremely appropriate.

When I was younger I really hated this mascara, because it was watery and made my lashes hard. I got this free with purchase from avon so I gave it a try. I like it alot now than i did when i was younger. Its because the water material made my lashes crunchy, it seems to have an improved formula. Its still a watery when first applied with a soft natural feel, I wore this on the day it snowed here, and my lashes didnt budge while my eyeliner faded. Its a good basic mascara but im more gravited towards volumizing mascaras, so probably wont purchase unless its free again.

price for this was super cheap, only a couple dollars
packaging was good, i guess-- i have no complaints, and the wand was average
as far as making my lashes looking good, this did great. applied 2 coats without allowing it to dry in between, and got volume without clumps
however, my complaint is that it was a b*tch to wash off! what happened to WASH-OFF waterproof? i use target's make-up removing towelettes, and they work great on everything else, even on long lasting foundation, but not on this. if i'd wanted mascara that would be difficult to remove, i'd have just bought regular waterproof mascara!
will not be repurchasing, but i like it well enough to use it during my summertime swimming

Perfect... my lashes look full and soft without looking fake. It stays on all day and can withstand a fair amount of rubbing. Even if I rub too much it doesn't really smudge, it just flakes off a bit and can be easily brushed away. I haven't tested this at the pool or anything so I can't say for sure if it's 100% waterproof, but I'm seriously impressed. Comes off easily with ordinary makeup remover. Really good price and NO ANIMAL TESTING. HG HG HG.

BEST mascara ever and this comes from someone who is very picky and has sensitive eyes. Stays on all day, comes off easily and I think it has even made my lashes fuller. This is the ONE mascara for me! :-)

I really like this mascara! I got it from my aunt a while back since she sells avon. It is kinda watery, but it doesn't bleed or smear. It thickens and darkens my lashes, and i love that! It is very waterproof, so i need to use alot of remover to get it off. But I do recommend it, it is amazing!

Not too shabby - I love trying mascaras, but always d/s since I am so finicky that I am reticent to spend $ on mascara that chances are I won't like. It must be waterproof and wear like iron w/out clumping (I cannot be bothered by having to comb clumps out of or have to seperate my lashes post mascara application - I don't need the extra steps), must give me volume and length - I know - I expect too much! :P
I have used for a week now - one day, I put this on my right eye and one of my HGs L'Oreal Voluminous Waterproof on the left: length = looked the same; volume = L'Oreal gave me a bit more. My lashes feel the same = not stiff/spikey. This has no discernible smell to me. The formula is definitely wetter feeling upon application (something I do not mind a bit). I use either oil or Sonia Kashuk to remove my mascara = removes easily w/ both products - takes a few less swipes or rubs to remove than my other wp mascaras.
Staying power is really good - haven't run into any smudging or running during a normal day. It doesn't last as long on in the shower as L'Oreal (only way currently for me to test waterproofness), but stays on better than non-waterproof.
If this was readily available at mass retailers, I would probably re-purchase (I am all about convenience) and keep in my rotation, but since its not, I probably won't re-purchase.

Mark Trumbo had a rough go of things at third base last night
Apr 7, 2012, 9:07 AM EDT
Yeah, this Mark Trumbo-to-third base thing? Might not work out.
Bold statement I know, but Trumbo had a pretty rough go of things in the Angels' season opener last night against the Royals, committing two fielding errors in his new stomping grounds.
The first was on a throw which pulled Albert Pujols off the bag in the second inning while the second error occurred when Trumbo over-ran a pop-up in foul territory in the seventh. Fortunately for the Angels, ace right-hander Jered Weaver was able to make it through both innings unscathed.
Albert Pujols is firmly entrenched at first base and Kendrys Morales should DH most days now that he's healthy, so the Angels want to find a way to get Trumbo into the lineup on a semi-regular basis. However, they can't afford to keep giving up outs like this. They probably won't pull the plug yet, but the odds were always against this experiment being a success.
- mikeincmn - Apr 7, 2012 at 9:35 AM
I know Wells is owed a ton of money, but why not just sit him and.put Trumbo in left? I gotta believe he would be slightly better in left and even though his range would likely suck, that would be offset a bit by Bourgas.
I honestly thought the bigger crime was putting Hunter and Wells as Albert's protection in the line up. Why in the hell would a team give Albert anything to hit? Especially with two washed up veterans who can't hit anything that isn't a mistake pitch anymore?
- paperlions - Apr 7, 2012 at 9:57 AM
There isn't any player on the Angel's roster that would convince a pitcher to throw Albert a better pitch. There is no such thing as "protection" for the best hitter in the lineup.
- 78mu - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:02 PM
This has come up before about protecting Albert and it will probably come up again. That's why Ron Washington was so happy to walk him even with Holliday or Berkman coming up behind him.
- db105 - Apr 7, 2012 at 2:16 PM
Hunter will break the record of grounding into double plays if he continues to bat behind Pujols.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Apr 7, 2012 at 9:40 AM
I'm sure there are a few teams out there who could use Wells and Abreu if the Angels ate all of the money. Sucks to do it, but those guys are blocking Trumbo and Trout, and the Angels are certainly in 'win now' mode, so doing what is best for winning seems like the correct plan. Give the vets a month to prove their worth and maybe build some trade value, then ship them out.
- mriversjr23 - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:03 AM
So ONE game justifies this as a failure?? Mine as well throw away the next 161 games lol…what a completely pointless article…
- drewsylvania - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Except every indicator has said that Trumbo would be a disaster at third base. Now, he might get better, but he *never* played there in the minors.
- wynams - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:14 PM
Small sample indeed, but there were 2 glaring mistakes (mentioned above) in addition to a limited range clinic Trumbo put on all game.
I find it hypocritical of Scioscia to start defensive catchers over legit bats, but this willingness to throw defense out the window in the hot corner. My $ is on this not ending well.
- scatterbrian - Apr 7, 2012 at 2:13 PM
No, one game doesn't justify it, but don't forget the four errors in 125 innings (roughly 14 games worth) he had during ST…
- unclearnie - Apr 7, 2012 at 3:47 PM
His Spring Training was a lot like Callaspo's. Maybe we shouldn't even bother putting someone there. After all, they both made a number of errors in SP.
- scatterbrian - Apr 7, 2012 at 6:51 PM
Callaspo has played 278 Major League games at 3B — not to mention games at 2B and SS — and has averaged one error per 11 games. In other words, he's had more experience and more success than Trumbo, and clearly has more range. But if you prefer outlandish suggestions in the face of evidence, have at it.
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:05 AM
It looked like Pujols saved the first error but the ump missed the call.
- D.J. Short - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:08 AM
It was very close. Hard to tell on the replay. Excellent effort by him.
- Ben - Apr 7, 2012 at 11:51 AM

- spudchukar - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:15 PM
How long before "A Trumbo" becomes eponymous for and ugly boot.
- mikeincmn - Apr 7, 2012 at 12:52 PM
If I were an angels fan, I would want Morales or even Trumbo or Kendrick hitting behind Albert. Yes they will pitch around him, but right now he has two washed up vets who have very little to offer to a team outside of outstanding corner outfield defense. Torii hunter and Vernon wells should not be hitting 4th and 5th for a team with aspirations of a deep playoff fun. I know its one game and Morales will likely move up eventually, but right now it just seems like a glaringly obvious move.
As for Trumbo, yes its only one game, but how much better do you really think he will get? Maybe a tick better over the course of a season, but that isn't saying much considering how he looks right now.

Allen led the Gills to the League Two title last season but departs after winning just two of 11 league games this term.
Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Shrewsbury left the club only a point above the League One drop zone but Scally told Sky Sports News that Sunday's move to relieve the 48-year-old of his duties was a considered - and difficult - one.
"The decision was not down to Saturday's result. It was a decision that was pending and it was made for good reason," Scally said.
"It was a unanimous decision between three board members that the time was right and I fully support it.
"I think if you look at the last quarter of last season and the first quarter of this season, our win record has been very poor and I didn't see any signs of that changing.
"I could have waited until Christmas, I could have waited until January or February, and maybe things would have changed, but - and I have watched football for a long time - I didn't see any change in the way we were playing, I didn't see the players playing to their potential.
"Two wins out of 13 - because we were knocked out of two cups - was a concern and the way we've been playing with the quality of the players we've got was a concern. If we'd continued on current form, we'd be relegated, without a shadow of doubt.
"I have to say the decision I made on Sunday was probably the most difficult I've made in football because I like Martin Allen very much and of course he did win us the League Two championship last year.
"But the longer I left it, the more difficult I felt it would be to salvage a place in League One next season and that is key to the future of this football club."
Gills chiefs will now turn their attention to Allen's successor, with Peter Taylor an early frontrunner, but Scally says a replacement has not yet been identified.
"We've haven't got anyone lined up," he added. "John Schofield (assistant manager) will run the team this week and is quite capable.
"We haven't got anyone in mind yet but, as you'd expect, we've had numerous applications and CVs coming in."

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- The Boulder County Coroner's Office says the climbing death of a 20-year-old man in Rocky Mountain National Park was an accident.
The Daily Camera reports (http://bit.ly/19R3eqU) Paul Nahon, of Springfield, Mo., died after falling about 150 feet from the Narrows on the Keyhole Route on Longs Peak on Aug. 15. The route had ice in several spots.
Nahon, a 2011 graduate of Glendale High School in Springfield, won state tennis titles in 2010 and 2011 and held the record for most tennis wins in Missouri Class II high school history with an overall record of 117-7.
He had recently transferred to Colorado College.
U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., says Nahon worked as an intern in his Washington office over the summer.

Kevin Sussman promoted to regular
Kevin Sussman, who plays Stuart - the owner of the Pasadena Comic Center, which the gang frequent - has been promoted to a series regular for the sixth season of The Big Bang Theory.
Sussman, who has so far appeared in fifteen episodes of the show, will not necessarily appear in every episode of the season like the main cast members. He will reportedly be appearing in somewhere around 7-13 episodes this season. His new contract guarantees his availability to the show as he's required.
Sussman is the fourth recurring guest star to have been bumped to regular. Sara Gilbert, who played Leslie Winkle, was made a regular for Season 2 but later left the show. Melissa Rauch and Mayim Bialik, who play Bernadette and Amy respectively, were promoted to regulars during Season 4 and remain main cast members to this day.

John Ostrander writes about the upcoming animated feature of The Killing Joke, his reaction to the assault on Barbara Gordon and his and Kim Yale's reinvention of Barbara Gordon as Oracle. "The last story that Kim and I worked on together before she died was Oracle Year One, drawn by the wonderful Brian Stelfreeze. We showed that year as Barbara made the transition from broken hero to dynamic Oracle. She became a strong and much loved icon for the disabled community. In making her a hero again, Oracle allowed others to heal with her. The reader healed with her." (via @profmdwhite)
