4% and 12% by weight alkoamphoglycinate or alkoamphopropionate surfactant, the total amount of surfactant being at least 30%.
This invention relates to fire-fighting foam compositions and more particularly to foams and concentrates for making foams that are suitable for extinguishing polar chemical fires.
Polar chemical compounds, because of their water solubility, cannot be treated with the foam types commonly used to combat spills and fires of water immiscible organic materials. Special foams have been formulated for use on polar compounds, the most widely used containing a polysaccharide. The polysaccharide gels on contact with the polar compound forming a floating layer that separates the foam from the polar liquid and allows a foam blanket to build for fire extinguishment and/or vapor suppression.
Not all polysaccharides exhibit this gelling property, but those that do are also characterized by pseudo water solubility. That is, when mixed with water, they absorb it and disperse uniformly but do not fully dissolve to form a true solution (although they are ordinarily referred to as solutions and are so referred to herein). In most cases the colloidal dispersion is stable, but outside factors can destabilize and cause settling of the polysaccharide.
One category of materials which can cause destabilization is surface active agents. Since a surface active agent is necessary to produce foams, foam chemistries involving polysaccharides can be difficult to formulate. Current formulations use the technique of thickening the foam concentrate formulation such that settling is prevented. Normally, highly viscous materials cannot be handled by the proportioning devices in common use by the fire services. Some currently used foam chemistries are thixotropic, however, and their inherent ability to act as a lower viscosity fluid in high shear flow permits their use with many existing proportioning devices. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,060,132, 4,060,489, 4,149,599 and 4,387,032. Some proportioning arrangements, such as gravity flow to a metering or similar pump, can have difficulties with thixotropic concentrates. Also, at cold temperatures the viscosity of thixotropic concentrates increases to the point that all proportioning devices experience decreased performance. Since there is a critical minimum of foam concentrate in water for foam generation and/or effective fire suppression, a reduction in proportioning rate could be harmful.
It is an object of this invention to provide a stable foam concentrate of low viscosity that will, on dilution with water, form a foam that forms a blanketing gel mat when applied to polar liquid fires or spills. It is a further object to provide such a concentrate that, when diluted, forms a foam having a surface tension below 19 dynes/sq. cm. that meets certification requirements for a hydrocarbon fire extinguishant.
The invention is based on our discovery that a foam concentrate comprising an aqueous solution of citrus pectin polysaccharide and a combination of (1) alkylbetaine, (2) sodium alkyl sulfate and (3) an alkoamphoglycinate or alkoamphopropionate surfactants has the desired low viscosity, stability against polysaccharide settling, good foam-forming capabilities, and gel-forming capability when applied to polar liquids. Fluorine substituted thioethers can be added to reduce the surface tension of the foam without adversely affecting the concentrate stability, making it suitable for fighting hydrocarbon fires.
The foam concentrates of this invention are aqueous solutions, or pseudo solutions, comprising citrus pectin and a mixture of surfactants that have a low viscosity, suitably less than 1000 cp at 20� C., and that are diluted with water for use. The diluted concentrate is fed to a foam generator to form a foam useful in combatting fires and hazardous material spills. Fire services are currently equipped to proportion concentrates at a 3% or 6% rate, by volume into water. The preferred formulations of this invention are formulated for use at the 6% proportioning rate for use on polar materials and at a 3% proportioning rate for use on water immiscible organic materials in one case and 6% in a second case.
The citrus pectin component of the foam concentrate is most suitably a commercial food grade pectin that may contain minor amounts of admixed sugars or citrates. A 4% (all formulation percentages are by weight) concentration of citrus pectin in the foam concentrate is sufficient to provide an effective gelling foam at the 6% proportioning rate. Pectin concentration can be increased to about 6% without exceeding the viscosity limits of about 1000 cp for practical use in foam generators.
A combination of surfactants is used to provide the foam-forming ability without destabilizing the pectin solution; namely, from about 3% to 9% alkylbetaine surfactant, 9% to 20% sodium alkyl sulfate surfactant and 4 to 12% alkoamphoglycinate or alkoamphopropionate surfactant. The total amount of surfactant must be as least about 30%.
Alkybetaine surfactants have the formula
in which R is a straight chain hydrocarbon radical having from about 10 to 20 carbon atoms. The preferred alkylbetaine is cocobetaine (derived from coconut oil) in which R is predominantly 12 and ranges from about 10 to 20. Cocobetaine is commercially available under the tradenames Encol DG and McKam CB.
Sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants having about 8 to 13 carbon atoms in the alkyl group are suitable for use. Sodium octyl(ethylhexyl)sulfate and sodium tridecylsulfate are commercially available. Lower order alkyl sulfates are incompatible with the pectin, while higher order materials are solids and adversely effect storage temperature.
The amphoteric alkoamphoglycinates and propionates have the formula ##STR1## where X1 is CH2 COO-- or CH2 CH2 COO-- and X2 is H or CH2 COOH and R is an alkyl group having from 8 to 12C atoms. Caproamphocarboxypropionate, caproamphocarboxyglycinate, and cocoamphocarboxyglycinate are illustrative of such surfactants that are available under the tradenames Miranol, Mona and Lonza.
Fluorine substituted thioethers suitable for use in this invention have the formula
Rf CH2 CH2 SCH2 CH2 CO2 Li
where Rf is F(CF2 CF2)3-8, and are available from DuPont Company under the name Zonyl�.
The dissolution of pectin requires considerable agitation so, to avoid foaming, the pectin is dissolved in water before the surfactants are added to the concentrate. The viscosity of the foam concentrate is on the order of 300 cp at room temperature and is easily handled in conventional proportioning equipment. It will be understood that the concentrate is essentially an aqueous solution but it may contain minor amounts of alcohol or other solvents from the commercial surfactant formulations.
Exemplifying a now-preferred embodiment for 6% and 3% proportioning, 5 pounds of citrus pectin food grade was dissolved in 65 lbs. of water. To this solution was added 7.5 lbs. of cocobetaine, 10 lbs. of caproamphocarboxypropionate, 10.5 lbs. of ethylhexyl sulfate and 2 lbs. of Zonyl FSA. The concentrate was mixed with water and the resulting solution fed to a foam generator for extinguishing fires in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories UL162, Class B Fire Tests, using designated nozzles, with the following results:

A concentrate formulation for 6% proportioning for use on both polar compounds and immiscible organic materials consists of 5.0 pounds of citrus pectin, 9.0 pounds of sodium ethylhexyl sulfate, 7.0 pounds of cocobetaine, 7.0 pounds of caproamphocarboxypropionate, 1.0 pounds of Zonyl FSA and 72.0 pounds of water.

DALLAS (AP) - The North Texas man accused of killing former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and another man has been indicted.
Eddie Ray Routh, a former Marine and Iraqi war veteran charged with killing Kyle and a friend at an Erath County gun range in February, was indicted Wednesday on two counts of capital murder.
Kyle and Chad Littlefield went with Routh to a gun range for lessons when the 25-year-old allegedly shot them and then fled the scene in Kyle's pickup truck. He was captured a few hours later in his sister's home in Lancaster.
Kyle is considered to be the deadliest sniper in American history. His account of life during and after war, "American Sniper," was a best-seller.
Routh remains jailed in lieu of $3 million bail.

The present invention is concerned with a tubing pump used for conveying various kinds of fluids with a plurality of tubes different from each other in inner diameter and pressed by a rotating tube-pressing device. Each of the tubing parts of tubes to be pressed by the tube pressing device is connected to the remaining parts of the tube so as to be replaceable and to compose a tube unit in cooperation with the remaining parts. Relative position coordinating pins are provided for enabling correct replacement of tubing parts assembled into the tube unit to be pressed.
1. A tubing pump comprising:
a housing having a base, two opposing side walls, two opposing end walls, and a top, said top having an underside;
a plurality of tubes passing lengthwise through the housing;
a shaft mounted in the sidewalls crosswise in the housing:
a rotating disk-like body being mounted on the shaft and having a circumferential periphery;
means, mounted on the circumferential periphery for pressing the plurality of tubes;
a block having a pressing surface and being mounted to the underside of the top of the housing for allowing the plurality of tubes to be pressed by the pressing means against the pressing surface of said block;
a further block mounted on an outer side of each of the two opposing end walls for receiving the plurality of tubes lengthwise in the housing;
two different sized pins mounted on each further block for securing each further block in a set orientation to the two opposing end walls of the housing; and
complementary sized openings being arranged in the two opposing end walls of the housing, said openings having different dimensions properly corresponding to the different sized pins for receiving the pins;
whereby the further blocks and tubes can only be inserted in the housing in a predetermined position.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an improvement in the art to be applied to the tubing pump used for conveying various kinds of fluids. The present invention is provided with a plurality of tubes different from each other in inner diameter and disposed in parallel with each other over the length of the common axis of rotating bodies and, further, provided with tube pressing means disposed around the common axis of the abovesaid rotating bodies at fixed intervals so that fluids may be conveyed by pressing and squeezing action effected on tubing parts of the abovesaid tubes by the rotation of tube pressing means.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Conventional type tubing pumps have such a structure which often require replacement of tubes that have been deteriorated by squeezing action of the pressing means.
This structure, however, has a drawback in that the replacement of a single piece of the deteriorated tube by an unused one causes variation in fluid flow quantity only in the replacing tube and, as a result, unbalance in the total feed quantity of fluids. Yet, the replacement of all tubes every time when any of the tubes is deteriorated is uneconomical and the wrong connection of tubes is liable to be caused since a difference in inner diameter between tubes is quite small though tubes are primarily different from each other in inner diameter, thereby resulting in unsatisfactory performance of the pump as a whole.
The present invention is intended for reasonably eliminating the above-described drawback in the prior art and characterized in that, in a tubing pump as described earlier, a tubing part of the tube subjected to pressing action of a pressing means is replaceably connected to the remaining parts of the tube, both ends of the pressed part of the tube are fixed to a pair of blocks detachably fixed to the pump bracket so as to form a tube unit, and means for coordinating relative positions of blocks and brackets is provided between at least one of the abovesaid block and a bracket to which the block is fixed.
In other words, in a tubing pump according to the present invention, a single piece of the deteriorated tube is not replaced but, instead, the whole of the tubing part of the tube to be pressed is replaced and, therefore, no change occurs in the balance of the feed quantity of fluids. Further, the replacement of only the pressed part of the tube, not of the whole of the tube, is economical and the provision of relative position coordinating means entirely prevents the wrong connection of tubes. Thus, the drawback in the prior art is easily removed by a reasonable improvement as above.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the abovesaid relative position coordinating means is composed of a pin and a pin insertion part. In this way, positioning means with a simple structure enables exact positioning of parts related to each other.
Other objects and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
The drawings show an example of a tubing pump embodying the present invention, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a tubing pump;
FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view thereof taken along the line III--III in FIG. 2; and,
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion indicated as X in FIG. 2.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIGS. 1 through 3, show a tubing pump housing a base, and a box-like bracket 2, respectively, and opposing parts 2a of the bracket 2 on one directional side bearingly support a rotating shaft 3 connected to and driven by a motor. A tube unit 4 is detachably connected to opposing parts 2b of the bracket 2 on the other directional side. The tube unit 4 will be described later in detail.
A pair of rotating disk-like bodies 5 are coaxially fixed to the abovesaid rotating shaft 3.
Tube pressing means 6 are, for example, rollers which are rotatably supported around the common axis of and between the abovesaid pair of rotating bodies 5 at fixed intervals.
A block 7 has a pressing surface S centered on the axis of the abovesaid rotating shaft 3; between the pressing surface S and pressing means 6, which are turned while rotating on axes thereof, a gap as wide as permitting insertion of tubing parts 8a, which will be described later, thereinto is formed; and the pressing block 7 is detachably fixed to the above-said opposing parts 2a of the bracket 2 on one directional side with bolts.
Now, the concrete structure of the abovesaid tube unit 4 will be described. This tube unit 4 comprises a plurality of tubing parts 8a different from each other in inner diameter and to be pressed by tube pressing means 6, and a pair of blocks 9 for fixing both ends of the tubing parts 8a. More particularly, as shown in FIG. 4, too, holes are provided on each of blocks 9 so as to pierce widthwise at fixed intervals in the lengthwise direction of the block, the tubing parts 8a which are pressed and individually inserted through the hole. Connecting tubes 10 are forcedly inserted into the tubing parts 8a and ends of the tubing parts 8a are fixed to the blocks 9.
For setting the tube unit 4 to the other brackets 2b a plurality of the abovesaid tubing parts 8a are disposed in parallel with each other over the length of the common axis of the rotating bodies 5 while the abovesaid tube pressing means 6 is being removed. A pair of blocks 9 are fixed to the brackets 2b with bolts, while the abovesaid tube pressing block 7 is fixed to the bracket 2. When using the pump in practice, tubing parts 8b and 8c are connected to ends of each tubing part 8a at the fluid feed side and discharge side, respectively.
After the tubing parts 8b and 8c at the feed side and the discharge side, respectively, are connected to each other and upon rotation of the rotating shaft 3 by a motor not shown in the drawing, disk-like rotating bodies 5 rotate and tube pressing means 6 rotate on the axis thereof and are turned around the axis of the rotating shaft 3 to squeeze the tubing parts 8a. Thereby liquids of various kinds are conveyed from the tubing parts 8b on the feed side to those tubing parts 8c on the discharge side.
According to the present invention, when the tubing parts 8a are deteriorated due to long term use, the whole of the abovesaid tube unit 4 is replaced by another unused unit 4 having the same characteristics as those of the replaced one.
For the purpose of preventing the wrong connection of tubes at the time of replacement of the tube unit 4, according to the present invention, position coordinating means 11 and 12, which are engageable with each other only when the tube unit 4 is correctly disposed, are provided on the above-said blocks 9 and brackets 2b. In the concrete embodiment of the present invention, position coordinating means 11 and 12 comprise two pins 11 dimensionally different from each other. Pin insertion parts 12 dimensionally corresponding to respective pins 11 and 11 are provided on the block 9 and the brackets 2b and 2b, respectively, whereby the tube unit 4 cannot be set unless put in correct positions, that is to say, there is no room for causing a wrong connection of the tubes.
A structure for relative position coordinating means 11 and 12 is capable of being modified in various ways, and the provision of at least a pair of these means between at least one of the blocks 9 and a bracket 2b to which the block 9 is fixed may satisfy the purpose of the present invention.

Ever since I was about 13 years old I have taken on a knitting project around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I first learned to knit when I was about 10ish– my mom put me in a knitting class with a few of my best friends, and I was able to knit a teddy bear. It was not a very cute bear, mind you, but it was a bear nonetheless. Initially, I was so proud of my bear, but also so glad that I was finally finished with it, that I didn't feel the need to even look at a pair of knitting needles for quite some time. Knitting requires a lot of patience and down time, and my tween attention span couldn't handle it very well.
As I got older (and desperate for Christmas gifts for my siblings), I decided to give the grandmotherly task another shot by knitting a beanie for my brother and a scarf for my mom. In the process, I realized how calming it was to be able to sit down, absorb the background noise of Friends reruns on the TV, and zone out on my yarn and needles. Especially before or after exam time, its all very meditative.
Getting on to the main point of this post– I went to see Hunger Games: Catching Fire with my roommates a few nights before going home for turkey day. First of all, to those of you who have yet to see the film, go see it. I don't care if you don't like sci-fi or are afraid the movies will wreck the books, because they won't. Just do it. You'll thank me later. You're welcome. Secondly, I not only found the movie awesomely awesome and JLaw to be fiercely fierce, but gurrll was also stylin'– and I don't mean in Cinna's fanciful costumes. In the opening scene, Katniss is wearing a cowl/scarf/shawl/vest/sweater thing, and its amazing. I immediately knew what this year's knitting project would be.
As soon as I got home I searched for patterns, and luckily I was able to find one on Etsy! Another woman had my same adoration for this piece, and she had whipped up a pattern that was pretty much as close as one could get to the real design (which was woven, not knit). As soon as I got home for break I raced to JoAnn's to pick up the yarn, and immediately got to work. In total, it took me from Wednesday evening to Saturday evening to complete the project. While my family will tell you I was a knitting fiend all of break, I assure you I did put my needles down periodically. Occasionally. When it was my turn in line for turkey.
I have to say, I am so incredibly pleased with how it turned out! It really is a unique looking piece, much more modern than a boring old circle scarf, and there are a number of ways to style it. Obviously, you could wear it like Katniss does, and like the pattern-maker Anaid shows, with a military look. What I love is that I can wear it as part of my day-long look, over a simple t-shirt, or I can wear it as a removable layer– over a leather jacket, or under my winter coat!
It was getting too dark by the time I got around to taking outfit photos today, so I went with the classic mirror pics. But I will certainly be incorporating my masterpiece into other outfit posts this winter!
Even in the past week, more and more versions of the cowl are popping up online, some in patterns and some ready-made. These babies are selling for upwards of $100, but I say, why spend that when you can get it for $30, plus the priceless satisfaction of having made it yourself? Katniss would be proud.

Additionally, it is much safer to make solar tea than tea made with boiling water. Spill solar heated tea on yourself and it's no big deal, spill boiling water on yourself and OUCH! You could be on the way to the emergency room. (I been there! I had a half filled pitcher of boiling water explode on me one summer. It was not fun.)
This Instructable will make 1 gallon of delicious iced tea.
Step 1: Gather Ingredients And Tools
* Water (filtered is best but optional) - enough to fill jar
**Do not use hot water from the tap!! It is not healthy to drink.
* Tea
* * Loose leaf - 5-6 tsp. (RECOMMENDED!) OR
* * Bags - 7 regular or 3 family size
* Sugar - 3/4 to 1 cup Or to taste
* Lemon slices
* Ice
* Sunny day
* Large Jar w/Lid (pickle jar, etc) - atleast 32 oz
* Pitcher- 1 gallon (glass is best)
* Large wooden spoon
* Measuring cup
* Tea strainer (if using loose leaf tea)
* Knife and cutting board (if adding lemon slices)
* Large glass (Mason jars are preferred)
Step 2: Prepare Tea Infusion
Make sure everything is clean--no pickle smell in jar!
Fill jar with water.
Add tea.
Stir gently.
Put on lid on jar, close tightly.
Step 3: Solarize Tea
Place jar on hard surface, in the sun.
*A concrete surface will work best - patio, balconey, etc.
Leave for 15-30 minutes (depending on temperature of weather).
When infusion turns a rich brown, bring inside to finish preparing.
*Let your infusion get dark as you may have to add more water (depending on the size of your jar) in order to make a gallon.
The problem is that while you can mostly sterilize water with a couple hours of direct and bright sunlight, this will not sterilize the tea leaves. Those leaves are not steamed, irradiated, or otherwise sterilized at the plant, so they still have whatever will grow on them. The brewing cycle in "solar tea" merely raises a volume of water to an optimal growing temperature for those bacteria, causing them to flourish.
In my heart-o-hearts, I'm still hoping to come up with a way to get non-boiled sun tea to work.
where it also says:
Read more at http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/suntea.asp#0GHjBfmiWUm1OCdu.99
Sterilization requires 212 F heat for at least 17 minutes, so when brewing a cup of tea, do you boil the tea infusion for 17 minutes? I don't really think so
I can only say that I have been drinking solar tea since the `70's and so far so good, no horrible stomach problems or anything negative. I think in the scheme of things there is much more danger in eating meat than in drinking solar tea. Meat eating is rife with germs...and sickness.
So, since I don't eat meat, I think I'll accept the risk of drinking solar tea.
However being British I I'm very set in my ways when it comes to tea habbits hehehe
One way to stop exploding glass/reduce the risk of it happening,. is to put a metal spoon in the glass when you poar in hot water... It acts like a heat sink when you solder LED's
Anyways, a nice informative and clear I'ble... welldone
<wonders off mumbling something about tea heresy> ;)

Product description
Continuum's "Reader's Guides" are clear, concise and accessible introductions to classic works of philosophy. Each book explores the major themes, historical and philosophical context and key passages of a major philosophical text, guiding the reader toward a thorough understanding of often demanding material. Ideal for undergraduate students, the guides provide an essential resource for anyone who needs to get to grips with a philosophical text. First published in 1859, John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" has exerted an enormous influence on philosophical and political thought ever since. Mill, also famous for his writings on utilitarianism, argues that individual liberty is of paramount importance and that any infringements of it must be kept to an absolute minimum. Mill himself described his brief but brilliant book as asserting 'one very simple principle...that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering in the liberty of any of their number, is self-protection.' Of course, drawing out the implications of this principle have proved to be anything but simple, and the various interpretations of Mill's doctrine have spawned countless debates and mountains of secondary literature. Numerous moral and political theorists have drawn on Mill's work, including Berlin, Rawls and Raz, and his ideas remain as relevant as ever today.

Walter Stutzman '71 Endows a Fund to Help Support Pomona's Summer Undergraduate Research Program
Walter Stutzman '71 presented Pomona College with a $100,000 gift in April to endow the "Class of 1971 Summer Undergraduate Research Fund." The fund will be used to support one student participant each summer in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP).
"When I was at Pomona, I was very interested in language and in computers," says Stutzman, "The College gave me a great chance to be involved at the leading edge of computing in the '60s through a summer research project. I went on to earn a Master's degree in linguistics from Yale and began a 30-year career in software engineering. The research I did at Pomona was the impetus that led to my career, and I am grateful to the faculty who gave me that opportunity."
Opportunities for undergraduate research are a hallmark of a Pomona College education. SURP provides participants with up to $4,000 in financial support for four to 10 weeks of extended, focused research on independent projects with substantive faculty mentoring or working directly for a professor as a summer research assistant.
"There is nothing quite like the excitement of doing original research," says Pomona College President David Oxtoby, who is also an atmospheric chemist. "As in every field, extraordinary careers in the sciences do not just happen, they are cumulative, highly intentional, and, in many cases, they begin with summer undergraduate research."
Stutzman, who named the award in honor of his classmates, their influence in his life and the positive impact they have had, says that summer research gives students a chance to "go out and explore an interest. You can sit in the classroom, but there comes a point where you have to figure out what grabs you, and what it is you want to do."
After retiring as a software consultant, Stutzman returned to college, earning a degree in music from Southern Connecticut State University in 2009.

Missouri Wrestling vs OSU (Beauty and the Beast) - February 1, 2013
Missouri vs OSU
2012-13: Wrestling at 174 pounds, Porter ended his career as a Tiger with a record of 34-12 and a NCAA Championship appearance. Porter began the season with seven straight wins before losing to No. 1 Chris Perry of Oklahoma in the finals of the Joe Parisi Open at Lindenwood University. On Nov. 24, Porter won two more matches, one by major decision against John Nething II (South Dakota State) and one by decision against Tommy Kimbrell (Stanford). Porter competed hard in day one of the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, with a highlighted win over No. 16 Jon Fausey of Virginia. After winning 3 of his first 4 matches, Porter dropped his final two, claiming the eighth place title. Porter continued to improve at the Grapple at the Garden, winning both bouts and bringing his season record to 14-4. Porter kicked off 2013 with a 5-2 showing at the Southern Scuffle, with one of those losses coming via a medical forfeit. Feb. 1 was arguably the best day of his career with top-ranked Oklahoma State making their way to Columbia. In what was his third meeting with (then) No. 1 Chris Perry (Oklahoma State), Porter dominated the match in front of a raucous home crowd, and as time was close to expiring, Porter turned Perry for back points and a 9-1 major decision. The victory was big enough to award Porter with MAC Wrestler of the Week honors. Two more major decision wins followed in the month of February, setting up Porter for the NWCA Cliff Keen National Duals. His first match on Feb. 17 against No. 5 Josh Asper (Maryland) unfortunately ended his 8 matching winning streak. Porter came back, though, with a major decision win over Purdue's Chad Welch to close out the day. During the National Duals Finals, Porter continued to thrive in his role as underdog, defeating No. 6 Nick Heflin (Ohio State) by decision, 4-3. Porter took home the third place title at the MAC Championships after dropping a close match to No. 19 John-Marti Cannon of Buffalo, but did receive a bid to his first ever NCAA Championships. The first day of the NCAA Championships started off with a loss for Porter against No. 2 Mathew Brown (Penn State), but was closed out by Porter winning his match against Billy Curling (Old Dominion) with whom his first match of the season was against. The second day of the Championships began with two wins, the second of which was against No. 10 Patrick Yates of Michigan. His third match of the day, however, would also be his last of the season, as it resulted in a loss against No. 3 Mike Evans of Iowa. Porter's career record at Mizzou ended at 82-37 with 23 major decisions, 3 falls, and 5 technical falls. He led the squad in 2013 in takedowns (in duals) with a total of 58. Following the season, Porter received the award for "Most Improved Wrestler".
2011-12: Porter competed in four opens as a junior and compiled a record of 14-5 on the season with three top-three finishes at 174 pounds. In the opening tournament, the UCM Open, Porter finished in second, going 4-1 with his only loss coming in the finals to Oklahoma State's Chris McNeil. He took third the next weekend at the Lindenwood Open with a 5-1 record. He started the tournament with a first period fall over Taylor Di Trolio of Missouri Valley and majored Iowa's Josh Haug in the second round. After a close 9-7 loss to 2012 All-American Ethan Lofthouse of Iowa, Porter dominated his last two matches to take third, winning with a technical fall and a 7-0 decision. Porter placed third again at the Kaufman-Brand Open in December, closing out the day with back-to-back major decisions over teammates Dustin Williams and Cody Johnston. Porter won one match at the Southern Scuffle, defeating Cheney Dale of Indiana by a 10-1 major. He finished the season with six major decisions.
2010-11: As a sophomore, Porter wrestled in six tournaments at 174 pounds during the season and placed in five of them, compiling a 20-8 record in the process. He placed second at the Lindenwood Open to open the season, recording three decisions and a major to advance to the finals. At the UCM Open, Porter finished 4-2, good for a fifth place finish, with all four of his victories coming by bonus points. He scored a 14-5 major decision to open the tournament, and then pinned AJ Stephens of Ouachita Baptist University in 5:15. He picked up two more majors, one by a 13-2 score and the other 10-2. He finished out his season with three straight runner-up finishes, going 10-3 during that span. He won three straight matches by decision at the UNI Open to advance to the finals before falling to Mike Evans of Iowa. Two months later, Porter took second at the MVC Open, pinning his first opponent in 4:36, scoring a 9-0 major decision in his second match and winning 6-0 in the semifinals before forfeiting to teammate James Houchins in the championship. At the National Collegiate Open two weeks later, Porter once again advanced to the finals, tech falling his first opponent, 18-2, and then scoring a 13-9 win over Cal Poly's Dominic Kastl. Two defaults helped advance Porter to the finals, where he lost to Rutgers' Greg Zanetti, 3-2. 12 of Porter's 20 victories during the 2010-11 campaign came with bonus points.
2009-10: Wrestled at both 174 and 184 pound weight classes during his redshirt freshman season, winning 14 of his matches and placing at two tournaments. Porter won his first three matches of the season at the University of Central Missouri Open, outscoring his first opponent 18-3 in a tech fall victory and then rallying off two straight wins by decision. After dropping his next two matches, Porter took a decisive 7-1 victory over Shawn Kuhlman of Fort Hays State to earn fifth place. The following weekend, Porter took third place in front of the hometown crowd at the Missouri Open. After losing his first match, Porter bounced back and claimed victory in his next four matches to fight back to third place. He would win three matches a week later at the Nittany Lion Open, which included a 17-2 tech fall win. He closed out the season by wrestling up to 184 pounds and defeating George Mason's Andrew Rock by a 22-7 score on Jan. 23.
2008-09: Porter opened his season with a third place showing at the Lindenwood Open, Nov. 1, finishing the day with a 5-1 record that included two wins by fall and one by 12-1 major decision. Porter went on to take third at the Missouri Open and fourth at the Missouri Valley College Open. The Tiger grappler won 21 matches during his redshirt season, 10 decided by eight or more points.
High School: Coached by Ron and Bob Wilhelm at Northwest High School in House Springs, Mo., Porter wrestled in the Missouri High School Championships his sophomore year (2006) placing fifth at 190 pounds, and his senior year (2008) placing third at 160 pounds.
Personal: Born to parents Kevin and Kim Porter on Nov. 15, 1989, in House Springs, Mo., Todd has one brother, Ron (21) and three sisters, Brandy (27), Ashley Schmittling (26), and Kayla (19). Porter intends to join the Navy after college.

The first Guantanamo Bay detainee to be tried in a U.S. criminal court was sentenced to life in prison today, giving the Obama administration sorely needed ammunition to bolster its case that civilian trials are appropriate for terrorism suspects.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan sentenced Ahmed Ghailani to life in prison for his role in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa.
"Today's sentencing of Ahmed Ghailani shows yet again the strength of the American justice system in holding terrorists accountable for their actions," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement.
The case has highlighted the controversial question of whether terrorism suspects can be successfully tried in U.S. civilian courts. The conviction and sentencing of at least one detainee could strengthen President Obama's contention that the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, should be closed.
Obama gives his State of the Union address to the nation tonight; in his speech two years ago he pledged to close the detention center.
Critics say that terrorism suspects should be tried before military commissions. But a life sentence is likely the same punishment that Ghailani would have received from a commission.
Holder announced in November 2009 that he planned to bring five terrorism suspects, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, to New York City for criminal trials. But the administration has been prevented from doing so by stiff congressional opposition. Indeed, Congress expressly prohibited the transfer of any more Guantanamo detainees to the United States in the Fiscal 2011 Defense authorization bill.
Obama signed the bill into law even though he opposes the ban, saying he plans to work with Congress this year to lift the restriction.
Holder said he hopes that today's ruling "brings some measure of justice" to the families and friends of the victims in the embassy attacks.
"Hundreds of individuals have now been convicted in federal court of terrorism or terrorism-related crimes since September 11, 2001," Holder said. "As this case demonstrates, we will not rest in bringing to justice terrorists who seek to harm the American people, and we will use every tool available to the government to do so."
The American Civil Liberties Union today again called on the administration to prosecute all terrorism suspects in federal courts.
But critics say that leaving verdicts up to U.S. courts is risky, as Ghailani was only found guilty on a single count of conspiracy in connection with the 1998 bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224 people, including 12 Americans. He was acquitted of more than 280 other charges, including murder.
"The first foreign terrorist detained at Guantanamo Bay to be tried in civilian courts, Ghailani's trial was a test run for the Obama administration's plan to try foreign terrorists in U.S. courts. It was also a near-disaster," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said in a statement.
"While the administration will no doubt try to spin the verdict as a success, the truth is, this case was a close call," Smith added
Ghailani's chief lawyer could not be immediately reached for comment.
This article appears in the January 26, 2011 edition of NJ Daily.

The Ontario Press Council upholds acceptable journalistic and ethical standards on behalf of the public and press alike while defending the democratic rights of free speech and freedom of the press.
For CPAC coverage of the hearings involving the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail held Sept. 9 to consider complaints over coverage of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and Councillor Doug Ford, please click on the following link: CPAC Coverage
The Ontario Press Council has chosen not to follow the lead of the United Kingdom Press Complaints Commission and other councils in adopting a formal code of practice for media publishing.
Instead it has relied on the decisions reached in previous adjudications of complaints as precedents by which it judges current issues.
A Press Council adjudication represents the collective opinion of a publisher's conduct shared by people from a broad cross-section of Ontario society and from the journalism field.
Council's dismissal of a complaint about the nature of comment does not mean that it agrees with what has been published.
Following is a sampling of general conclusions reached in the four decades it has been adjudicating public complaints against Ontario publications:

Ontario Press Council Procedure
The Ontario Press Council is an independent body which considers specific unsatisfied complaints made by the public against its 150 member news organizations. Complaints considered by the Council involve journalistic practices and proper ethical standards.
The Council provides an efficient and effective way for the public to deal with issues of concern without launching legal proceedings, which can become lengthy and costly.
In reaching its decisions, the Council considers appropriate journalistic practices, including fairness and accuracy, as well as issues of ethical concerns, sources utilized, decisions by the Courts and the news organization's own guidelines and codes of conduct.
The Press Council consists of 15 members, the majority of whom are from the public with a history of effective public and professional service, including the chair. The minority of the Council members are selected from member news organizations. When a complaint is directed at the news operation of a Council member, he/she must immediately declare a conflict of interest and is excused from all deliberations concerning the complaint.

Advanced low fat blend of fast and slow acting proteins ideal for increasing protein intake.
* Required Fields
You will earn £0.24 Protein Pounds for buying this product
It is common knowledge that in order to build muscle tissue you need to consume adequate amounts of high quality protein. At CNP we recommend that 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight should be consumed for those wishing to gain quality muscle. Try to achieve this by consuming solid foods find it becomes a difficult and impractical task.
For example take someone weighing 200lbs: Their protein intake would need to be 300g. When you consider that a typical chicken breast or tin of tuna delivers approx 30 grams of protein, that would mean '10' chicken breasts or '10' tins of tuna a day. Also in today's fast track life style, many people turn to poor nutritional fast foods or even miss a meal. For these reasons the introduction of protein supplementation into many diets, from the health conscious individual to the serious athlete has now become a normal but important feature. Pro-Peptide is a perfect answer to this problem; also see Pro MR and Pro MS. Pro-Peptide is an advanced blend of bioactive fast and slow proteins (Whey protein high fraction concentrate, Hydrolysed whey, Egg white and micellar casein) that provide both muscle building and anticatabolic properties, meaning less wasted protein and better protein utilisation. Also included are probiotic organisms (friendly bacteria), which assist in protein metabolism leading to improved nitrogen retention (the perfect environment for muscle growth) and maintaining a healthier digestive system. A high concentration of peptide-bonded glutamine ensures a superior absorption of this vital amino acid. Pro-Peptide is low in fat and lactose allowing further ease of digestion, is the most advanced protein supplement on the market today and is ideal for the health conscious individual to the serious athlete. We at CNP believe you will not find a better protein supplement anywhere!
Contains:Bifidus, acidophilus, yoghurt organisms, which is the healthy bacteria needed to promote an efficient digestive system, which will enable you to metabolise more nutrients.Micellar casein (milk protein) is an undenatured slow released protein, medically proven to be anti-catabolic (stopping muscle breakdown).Whey protein high fraction concentrate is an undenatured fast released protein containing higher levels of growth factors than normal whey protein concentrates.Hydrolysed Whey is the most digestible whey protein, which is partially pre-digested for better absorption allowing the body to use it's complete range of amino acids for faster absorption and recovery. This is the first of the fast and slow proteins.Whey protein is a by-product from the manufacture of cheese due to the heat-treating of milk (curds and whey). A lot of the growth factors and the amino acid cysteine become deficient because of this process. CNP's proteins are cold processedPeptide Bonded Glutamine is an amino acid that promotes a healthy gut, increases growth hormone and is the highest amino acid found in human muscle (It would be very hard to get enough glutamine in the system from food alone).Amino acids are absorbed by molecular weight and peptide bonded amino acids are heavier than free form.Egg White has a high level of the amino acid cysteine, which is a key amino acid in maintaining muscle mass and helps protect the liver. Cysteine (Non Essential Amino Acid) plays an important role in the production of Glutathione ("Glue-toe-thigh-own") (a small protein), which is the bodies primary anti-oxidant, which neutralises free radicals and enhances the immune system which is important in the manufacture of muscle growth.

CHICAGO – On behalf of Governor Rod R. Blagojevich and in commemoration of African American History Month, State of Illinois officials today presented several African-American organizations with the Governor's "People Are Today's Heroes" (PATH) Awards in recognition of their tireless efforts to help people in their community. Deputy Governor Louanner Peters presented awards to Proviso Missionary Baptist Church, Chicago Area Project (CAP), Sinai Community Institute, Featherfist and Fernwood United Methodist Church during an event held at Chicago Area Project (CAP) in Chicago.
"Through their hard work, these organizations have helped thousands of children, men, women and veterans, and made great strides in the fight against homelessness, hunger and poverty. They are truly part of today's heroes," said the Governor.
"African-American History Month is a time to remember the many contributions African-Americans have made throughout the course of American history. Today, on behalf of Governor Blagojevich, I am proud to recognize these organizations as their inspiring efforts to assist members of their community reflects the same vision that so many of our forefathers had," said Louanner Peters, Deputy Governor, State of Illinois.
The Governor's PATH Award recognizes groups or individuals who, through their hard work and commitment, have improved the lives of those in their community and have helped Illinois move forward in the areas of health care, public safety, education, environment, economic development and affordable housing.
The following organizations received PATH Awards:
Proviso Missionary Baptist Church — Bishop Dr. Claude Porter is the founder and pastor of the Proviso Baptist Church in Maywood, where he has been pastor for over 30 years. In 1968, Bishop Porter founded The Proviso-Leyden Council for Community Action, Inc., (P.L.C.C.A.) — the arm of the Proviso Missionary Baptist Church &mdash where Bishop Porter says everyone receives a "hand up" not a "hand out". P.L.C.C.A.'s Homeless Intervention/Prevention Program offers advice and assistance to help improve housing conditions and identify responsibilities of being a tenant and/or potential landlord including how to buy or rent, deal with delinquency and defaults, conserve energy, solve relocation and displacements and access emergency services. In February 2001, Bishop Porter opened Victor Goodell Place — a four story, 22-unit affordable housing complex valued over $3 million to house families and individuals. The building is dedicated to the memory of his friend Victor Goodell. Bishop Porter is the President of the Maywood Phoenix Home, which is a Section 202, Section 8 subsidized property consisting of 72 units to house elderly and disabled persons, who are capable of living independently. Bishop Porter oversaw construction of the Peppers Path Homes, 23 affordable, single-family homes in Maywood. Bishop Porter is the Chairman of Proviso Township Ministerial Alliance Network (PTMAN) and of the International Ministerial Alliance Network or IMAN – both of which develop and bridge the gap within the community of faith towards its betterment.
Featherfist — Formed in 1984, serves veterans, homeless men, women and children, and those who are "at risk" of becoming homeless throughout Chicago. For the past 15 years, Featherfist has provided transitional housing services, 24-hour emergency outreach, extensive outreach to over 300 households, through comprehensive supportive services, case management and referrals, preparation for and access to permanent housing and follow-up case management for a minimum of six months. Until 1994, Featherfist conducted outreach services using volunteers to reach the homeless living in the streets. The volunteers provided survival kits, referral information, transportation to shelters and other service programs. In 1990, the City of Chicago chose Featherfist as Chicago's primary backup to conduct emergency outreach services to the homeless because Featherfist "works the streets" to help homeless individuals and families to seek shelter and moves the homeless from the streets to self-sufficiency through a comprehensive network of emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive services. Featherfist has a specialized veteran case manager to address the specific needs of veterans.
Fernwood United Methodist Church — Fernwood United Methodist Church is an advocacy, support, information and education center often described as "church home" by its members and the wider community. In addition to its spiritual mission, longtime pastor the Rev. Al Sampson, Ph.D., addresses the social needs and basic needs for food and shelter. Fernwood United Methodist Church keeps the community informed about issues by sponsoring the newspaper Black Express, which identifies strengths and resources within the community and helps the community maintain ties to programs and services offered by the state. Fernwood United Methodist Church identifies and assists nearly 100,000 seniors through the Metropolitan Area African-American Senior Resource Network, sponsored and housed by Fernwood United Methodist Church. Recently, the Fernwood United Methodist Church and the Metropolitan Area African-American Senior Resource Network have started a program, Wise Elders (WE), through the Illinois Department on Aging, which trains older volunteers to reach out into their communities with information and education about programs and services that are available.
Sinai Community Institute — Through its 25 distinct programs, the Sinai Community Institute (SCI) provides a range of services such as health education, food and nutritional services, leadership development, parent training, and vocational counseling within the health-related field, case-management, intervention, prevention and outreach programs geared to improving family health and promoting wellness throughout the community. Through its comprehensive healthcare services, SCI served over 22,000 families in FY 2006. Additionally, 5,000 families have benefited from the Family Development drop-in center, which provides parent/child early intervention services focusing on structured playgroups for new parents, parenting education and teachable moments. SCI was also selected as one of five agencies to provide services to the Chicagoland area's Hurricane Katrina evacuees.
Also present at the PATH Award presentation were Rocco Claps, Director, Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR), Dr. Carol Adams, Secretary, Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS), and representatives from the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs (IDVA), the Illinois Department of Aging (IDOA), and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).

2010-2011 | Six Degrees Games | Flash | Virtual world
Action AllStars is a sports-themed virtual world aimed at kids ages 6 to 11. It originally launched in 2008, and features major league brands such as the NBA, MLB, or the NFL Players Association.
I joined the team as VP Product / Creative to lead the efforts of trying to take the site to the proverbial "next level". It's a well-known fact that that subscription-based kids' products are a notoriously hard nut to crack (in case of AAS this was further compounded by an older-skewing audience and the less mass-appeal sports-theme itself), but perhaps this is why the challenge seemed like a particularly interesting one to tackle.
I launched a number of initiatives targeting both retention and conversion, and maintained close, hand-on involvement with nearly every aspect of the process.
These features ranged from a more friendly, vibrant visual style and interface, new social features (incorporating even some ques and mechanics from Facebook games), more replayable cooperative and competitive content to a new approach to creating promotional materials.
We have also taken a more lean and "agile" and approach to actually developing these features, which resulted in a pretty significant improvement in the development team's productivity.
While the changes were well received – overall product direction was largely responsible for securing an additional round of funding for the company – looking at the site from a business viability perspective painted a different picture.
Ultimately I had come to believe that focusing on obsessive product iteration at the expense of a number of other, equally important factors (e.g. reaching the right audience, rethinking the business model, embracing the brand-driven nature of the site instead of trying to go head-to-head with experience-driven competitors) was not sufficient to reach the desired results.
At that point I had to tender my resignation as I could no longer claim to have the answers and keep collecting a paycheck in good conscience, but I'm very much rooting for the AAS guys to eventually find the right mixture of "ingredients" to elevate the site to greatness.

Ignore all the poor reviews; the pizza is very very good. In fact, it is my favorite in all the boroughs. Yes, the wait is long, and yes, the pies are expensive, but it is all made up for by the BYOB and the atmosphere. Toppings are pricey and actually take away from the amazing flavor of the margherita (basil is free). All you naysayers should just pipe down.
Posted by local guy on 01/18/2010
Nasty waitresses, holier than thou attitude. It's just pizza, for God's sake. You can get it anywhere in the city, so don't waste your time on a trip to Lucali, unless you want to wait OUTSIDE for hours. Save your time and money.
Posted by irma on 01/03/2010
Yes, they make it "right there" (as if no one else does), and the quality is decent. But it is not excellent, unusual or amazing, and it is NOT worth $24 for a plain pizza. Three toppings burned a $36 wood oven hole in our pockets, and the wait just made it worse. It's all hype. Save your money and buy the $6.95 organic Trader Joe's imported pizza and you will taste the same Italian cheese and other flavors (really!)... and the TJ's is organic!

Excellent Pizza. Worth the $$ (and I'm a cheap sob) Worth the wait (and I HATE waiting). Just suspend disbelief that your spending that much for a pie. Just do it. you'll go back. (we go at least twice a month - if not more)
Posted by karen on 08/20/2009
I really enjoyed Lucali when it first opened. But Mark Iacono truly opened this as a labor of love to preserve a precious Carroll Gardens establishment, he has gotten a little sidetracked (read: greedy) perhaps due to believing his own press hype. It is a fine pie - but in a neighborhood filled with Italians, and great pizza, it is not an outstandingly amazing pie which is what it would need to be to to be worth a a 2-hour weight, snotty service and a 30 dollar pizza. I fear that Lucali is in danger of losing its head up its own rearend.
Posted by anonymous on 07/01/2009
My husband and I were lucky enough to get here and not have to wait which was a pleasant surprise. The service was pretty good, the pizza was pretty good but the price was outrageous. We ordered one pie (18 inch) and a few toppings (mushrooms, shallots, peppers) and the bill came out to 30 bucks!!! Considering the pizza wasn't anything special and reminded me of something I can make myself using some pita bread and tomato sauce, it really wasn't a great value.
Posted by Sarah on 06/16/2009
Ick. I was so looking forward to this but would not recommend it. This place has gotten WAY too big for its britches. First time, we were turned away, hostess wouldn't even take our names b/c they were so slammed "I don't know, maybe it's the recent GQ article.." Girl, please. When I did get a table, with food in our hands and mouths, we were asked if we'd like the 2 slices still on the tray cleared for us. Then, the calzone was delivered. 5 minutes later (another thinly veiled attempt to rush us out) "We usually serve the calzone with marinara. Do you want that?" Why wouldn't we. One large pie and one calzone came to $37 - thirty-seven dollars! When we left an hour later under waitstaff pressure basically, we were told that since it was our first time, they comped us the corking fee, but next time it would be $4. In summary: we were rushed, given a dry calzone and told we got a discount. Tacky. Besides? The pizza ain't all that. Crust could be thinner. Get over yourself Lucali.
