Steam eHandbook: Take the Heat Off Your Steam System
According to a U.S. Department of Energy survey, steam accounts for one-third of all the energy used in process plants. Monitoring and optimizing the cost of your steam system can yield big rewards. Ignoring inefficient operation easily could drain profits.
Operating and maintaining a reliable steam system is vital to chemical processing plants and can have significant cost impact on a plant's annual budget. Typical profit drainers in operating and maintaining a steam system include excessive fuel cost, inefficient steam generation, less-than-optimal steam utlilization and poor condensate recovery. This Chemical Processing Steam eHandbook presents strategies for reducing cost associated with using and generating steam, a 4 step approach for improving efficiency and insight on heat exchanger selection criteria. Specifically:
- Control Steam System Energy Costs - Steam system losses can silently drain profits
- Optimize Your Steam System - A simple four-step approach can improve steam efficiency

Steam eHandbook: Best Practices for Steam Systems
Operating and maintaining a reliable steam system is vital to chemical processing plants and can have significant cost impact on a plant's annual budget. Typical profit drainers in operating and maintaining a steam system include excessive fuel cost, inefficient steam generation, less-than-optimal steam utlization and poor condensate recovery. Ensuring adequate supply of steam often results in excessive capacity usage, expensive fuel choices or condensate draining to grade, leading to compromised efficiency levels and higher steam cost. Because steam systems dependency is unavoidalbe, addressing those three issues is crucial to minimizing steam costs.
This Chemical Processing Steam eHandbook presents an overview, steam technologies and strategies for reducing cost associated with using and generating steam including:
- Controlling steam system energy costs
- Real-time monitoring - how wireless devices help cut energy losses by detecting failed steam traps
- Additional resources

Heat Exchanger Challenges with Light Tight Crude
Energy consumption remains one of the largest controllable costs in oil refineries. Heat exchanger fouling can have a significant impact on energy efficiency and production loss. Asphaltene Precipitation is caused when refiners blend incompatible crudes. This is a major source of fouling and leads to performance limitations within days. Heat exchanger fouling is a major challenge for refinery operations. With the increase in crude blending from opportunity crudes such as tight oil, the traditional "manual" monitoring approach may no longer be effective. This White Paper discusses how on-line monitoring and analysis can enable refineries to:
- Better Understand Accelerated Fouling Due to Crude Incompatibilities
- Learn How to Use Online Monitoring to Detect Fouling
- Identify Which Tube Bundles Require Cleaning
Chemical Processing's eHandbook: Energy Efficiency
Rising fuel costs have a direct impact on a chemical processors' bottom line. How can chemical processors reduce their energy consumption thus reducing their cost to produce? It's believed that the chemical industry potentially can vastly decrease energy use AND greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the help of game-changing technology and strong support from policymakers. In this Chemical Processing Energy eHandbook, we take a look at global, and more local, technologies and strategies for improving energy efficiency at chemical plants including:
- A roadmap that aims to catalyze better energy efficiency – learn about a international initiative that foresees catalytic processes playing a key role in cutting consumption and emissions
- Saving energy by optimizing boiler loads
- How the right emission control system can help meet compliance and reduce energy costs
- Steam injection heating systems
Bristol-Myers Squibb Works hard to be a Good Neighbor
Bristol-Myers Squibb manually monitored dissolved oxygen (DO) periodically and ran aeration blowers more than necessary to guard against variable loading rates. After upgrading the system to use online DO monitoring operators now have continuous DO readings in the aeration tanks, substantially reducing energy and maintenance costs.08/12/2013
Chemical Processing's Steam eHandbook: Generate Steam Savings
Spikes in energy costs or unplanned-for capital improvement expenses can put organizations in tricky financial situations. To solve them, they often select the option with the lowest upfront cost which leads to the "pay me now or pay me later" dilemma. Over time it's discovered that these lower-priced alternatives cost much more due to higher failure rates, wasted energy and more intensive maintenance. This Chemical Processing Steam eHandbook presents steam technologies and strategies for reducing cost associated with using and generating steam including:
- How a Texas-based plant pared steam consumption - Thinking differently about energy management lead to substantial savings
- Steam trap selection - A life cycle analysis approach can help reduce maintenance and prolong steam trap life
- Reduce consumption with a simple formula to determine the proper steam demand for DSI heaters

Other functions include: sterilization, pasteurization, cooking, tempering, dehydration and heating. While you may have guessed a few of the applications we're profiling, or may even work with them yourself, we hope at least one or two applications off our list will catch your eye and perhaps start you thinking. • Analytical Chemistry • Treatment of Biomass & Biosolids • Powder Processing Carbon Black Animal Blood Plasma Powdered Eggs • Pyrolysis for Recycling & Waste-to-Energy Plastics and Rubber Farm Waste • Petro Chemicals Frac Sand Grease Processing • Minerals06/18/2013
CP eHandbook: Use Energy Effectively
Effective energy management can help achieve more efficient use of energy without reducing production levels, product quality or employee morale, and without compromising safety and environmental standards. It should not only address higher efficiency generation, energy conversion, distribution and utilization, but also explore lower-cost energy alternatives. Simply put, energy management is optimizing the energy cost per unit of product output. In this Chemical Processing Energy Efficiency eHandbook, we take a look at how to achieve effective energy management including: • Energy management programs – the roles and responsibilities needed to create an effective energy management program • Internal and external resources needed for an effective energy management program including what to expect from top management • Energy management basics – the five key activities to help reduce energy use • Compression dryers – a review of three alternatives: heat, desiccant and refrigerant.

Real Time Online Liquid Analysis to Prevent Product Loss, to Reduce Energy Consumption and to Minimize Waste Treatment Costs
Product losses and energy and waste treatment costs can be reduced significantly with Total Organic Carbon (TOC) monitoring. Reducing product loss results in savings in raw materials, energy consumption, and in water treatment charges. This means more products in production and less product in the waste water treatment plant.05/15/2012
Heating Water by Direct Steam Injection
Direct steam injection provides a solution where large volumes of hot water at precise temperatures are required, and saving space and energy are factors in the system design.05/03/2012
Productivity Improvement with Wireless Steam
When steam traps leak or fail, energy is lost and there could also be steam equipment failure or damage and potential safety hazards. A major food manufacturer improved their steam trap program and enhanced their ongoing leak repair campaign with remote steam trap monitoring using Smart Wireless Solutions from Emerson.03/13/2012
Reducing Water Consumption in Compressed Air Systems
Compressed air systems are sometimes called the "4th Utility" due to their presence in almost all industrial processes and facilities. As US water consumption continues to increase, compressed air systems provide an opportunity for energy managers to reduce associated cooling water consumption and costs. In this white paper, we focus on the opportunity to reduce the water consumption of compressed air systems. Understanding the costs and the alternative types of cooling systems is an important first step. This white paper provides background on US water consumption in both the public and industrial sectors; it provides detail on industrial water consumption -- including industrial cooling water -- and its associated costs; it also details six different types of cooling systems available.02/14/2012

Not sure if you can do this manually (this is usually hard coded). However if you are looking to 'clone' the MAC address if this is needed to connect to the web through a DSL or Cable modem there should be a button under the WAN config settings (not sure on this since I never worked with Airport Extreme routers).

Unlikely hero Shane Byrne bagged a brace for the hosts, as did returning skipper Brian O'Driscoll in a one-sided encounter that left talk of a Wales resurgence looking distinctly optimistic.
However, while Hansen accepted the scoreline was a true reflection of Ireland's dominance, he insisted his side have moved forward and they will learn the lessons of a disappointing performance.
"I am sure people will get hysterical when they look at the scoreline and say it is another false dawn for Welsh rugby," said the Kiwi, who will stand down at the end of the tournament to become All Blacks assistant coach.
"The reality is that two years ago we came here on a similar afternoon and lost by 50 points.
"We have not arrived yet and we are still going to have the odd bad day. Today was a reality check, the key is to learn from it."
Hansen had no problem pin-pointing the reasons for his team's demise, citing a complete lack of go-forward and a consistent failure to make the first tackle. He also acknowledged that his side were badly outgunned in the forwards.
"Our young lads tried to poke their noses in and got a good slap on the nose," he said.
Ireland took less than a minute to register the first of their six touchdowns, winning a line-out close to the Welsh line after the visitors had failed to clear the kick-off effectively, to set up the drive which Byrne peeled off virtually unseen for a 10-metre romp to the line.
O'Driscoll added a second before Ronan O'Gara followed up his own charge down to score in the corner.

David Piccerelli's Grilled Littleneck Clams with Oregano Pesto
NOTE: If you are using a charcoal grill, the clams may be opened and the mixture combined prior to lighting your grill so that optimal heating is achieved. When the grill reaches the appropriate temperature, place the mixture on the clams and head straight to the grill.
18 littleneck clams
3 large fresh sprigs of oregano
3 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Pinch of salt to taste (optional)
Black pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
2 tablespoons Filippo Berio extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon grated Parmigiano—Reggiano cheese
Place littleneck clams in a bowl of warm (not hot) water to facilitate the relaxation of the shell mussel. When the shell begins to open along the seam, carefully slide a small knife into the clam to release the mussel and divide the clam in half. Carefully rotate you knife tip around the inside of the clam to release it entirely from the shell. Place shell halves on a baking sheet. If a shell should crack, transfer the clam to a whole shell.
Remove the oregano leaves from the stem and chop finely, either by hand or in a mini food processor. In a bowl combine the oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, oil, vinegar and cheese. Place 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture on top of each clam. If mixture remains, you may add more to the clams, dividing it evenly among them.
Charcoal grill users please see note above. Heat your gas grill to about 375F. Place clam shells on the grate carefully. Allow clams to steam in their juice in the shell until bubbling appears. Remove to serving platter and enjoy.

Spring Hill, Florida -- A man who took a woman back to a home for sex probably never would have guessed he would end up in jail for falsely reporting a crime.
Johnnie Pippins told Hernando County deputies he took Jana Taylor back to a homein the 100 block of Rosedale Avenue -- a homehe cleans professionally with his wife -- for sex.
Instead of getting down to business, he said she told him to give her $200 or she was going to accuse him of rape.
Pippins panicked and called police to report a burglary so they would show up. Since there was no actual burglary, Pippins, 36, was arrested and charged with Falsely Reporting a Crime. He is currently being held on $500 bond.

The Geography department is one of the most successful at Beaconsfield High School, combining a track record of consistently excellent exam results, with numerous fieldwork opportunities and an emphasis on a student's wider role as a citizen.
As far as possible an enquiry based approach to learning is encouraged. Geography lessons throughout the school facilitate the development of a wide variety of transferable skills, including questioning, group work, decision making, listening, debating, empathy and problem solving. A variety of resources - including photographs, DVDs, music, Power Points and interactive whiteboard activities are used to enable students to develop their geographical skills and understanding. All lesson materials and resources can be accessed by students on the VLE.
Key Stage 3 - Years 7, 8 & 9
Students are taught in their tutor groups; in Year 7 students have three lessons per fortnight and in Years 8 and 9 they have one lesson per week.
Year 7 lessons begin with a presentation from two students that focuses on a recent global news event of geographical significance. Many provoke interesting discussions that reflect directly on the concept of citizenship, both from a local and global perspective.
Students study a wide range of physical and human Geography at a variety of local, national and international scales. Some of the most popular work includes an enquiry into the variations in microclimate around the school site (year 7), an enquiry into patterns of crime in the local area (year 8) and work on globalisation and fashion with a focus on India (year 9). We also teach a unit on Volcanoes and Earthquakes to GCSE standard to help students to make informed option choices during year 9.
Key Stage 4 - GCSE
We follow the AQA A syllabus with students being taught in mixed ability classes and having five lessons per fortnight. The aims of the GCSE course are as follows:
- To acquire knowledge and understanding of a range of places, environments and geographical patterns at the local, national and global scale.
- To develop a sense of place, an appreciation of the environment and an awareness of the ways in which people and their environment interact. To understand the importance of sustainable development as well as the opportunities, challenges and constraints that people face.
- To develop an understanding of global citizenship and the ways in which people and environments are interdependent.
- To understand how decisions are made about the use and management of environments in relation to geographical issues and questions.
- To acquire and apply the skills and techniques of mapwork, fieldwork and ICT which are needed to conduct a geographical enquiry or study.
Fieldwork: There is a four day fieldwork course in North Wales that enables students to collect data that can be used for their coursework and enable classroom learning to come alive.
Key Stage 5 - A Level
See also Sixth Form subjects.
We follow the AQA syllabus, which enables us to cover traditional A level topics such as Rivers, Volcanoes and Coasts with modern concepts such as the Geography of Global Health and Geographical Conflicts. Students have four hours of lessons per week. As a highly dynamic and academic subject A level Geography has students who are keen to understand how they interact with the world in which they live. We look at contemporary real-life issues from across the world, with a problem solving approach forming the basis of research-based enquiry. Students are encouraged to make informed decisions and are made aware of the need to justify their choices.
Fieldwork: There is a one week field work course in Swanage during year 12 which covers many aspects of physical and human geography and the fieldwork techniques students will need for exams at both AS and A2. Every A level student also has the opportunity to experience the glaciers and geysers of Iceland on our bi-annual visit there. We are based in Reykjavik but spend each day travelling around the island. The evenings provide an opportunity to relax in one of Iceland's many geothermally heated swimming pools.
Careers: Geography is relevant to our everyday lives and includes important issues related to our future such as the impact of climate change. Every day there is at least one item on the news that is relevant to geography.
At AS/A2 Level, Geography can make a good combination with Science, Maths or Humanities subjects, bridging the gap between Arts and Sciences in a unique way and helping develop many transferable skills. Geography offers a good background for a wide variety of careers such as working in tourism, planning, environmental management, land surveying, the Civil Service, law and merchant banking.

Scottish giants Celtic seek loan deal for Chelsea's Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu
Celtic seek loan deal for Chelsea's young Ghanaian winger Christian Atsu
- Coach Ronny Delia has confirmed the Bhoys are in the market for the wide man
- Atsu was wanted by Celtic before his £5million move to Chelsea
- Celtic hope Champions League prospects can convince Atsu to join
- KR Reykavik's Atli Sigurjonsson is looking forward to playing Celtic
- Midfielder says they are so concentrated on their Champions League tie that they have allowed their league form to slump
Scottish giants Celtic are poised to join the race to lure Ghana World Cup winger Christian Atsu from Chelsea for a loan spell.
Parkhead boss Ronny Delia has confirmed that the Scottish champions are in the market for a wide man.
And 22-year-old Atsu is wanted by a raft of clubs in England, Spain and Germany for a year-long loan deal after spending last season at Vitesse Arnhem in Holland.
Top star: Atsu impressed on the wing for Ghana at the World Cup in Brazil
West Ham United and Aston Villa are known to be interested in the left winger, with Hamburg and Espanyol also linked.
But Celtic, who were linked with Atsu before he quit Porto for Stamford Bridge in a £5million deal last summer, hope the possibility of Champions League football could sway a player who started all three of Ghana's World Cup games in Brazil.
Atsu enjoyed a successful loan spell in Holland, scoring five goals in 28 appearances – but has ruled out a return to the Erevidisie this time round.
Sought after: The young winger's performances have made him a loan target for a number of clubs
Celtic fly to Iceland this lunchtime ahead of tomorrow night's Champions League qualifying first leg tie with KR Reykavik, Deila's first competitive match in charge.
The Icelandic club's midfielder Atli Sigurjonsson admitted yesterday that his team mates have been so busy concentrating on playing Celtic that they have allowed their form to slump.
KR Reykjavik were stunned by struggling Thor in their last game in the league before they face Deila's side.
And Sigurjonsson believes his side have been guilty of dwelling too much on their Scottish opponents ahead of the sell-out clash.
Experience: Atsu spent last season on loan at Dutch side Vitesse and Celtic hope they can be his next club
He said: 'Perhaps the thought of playing Celtic has been disrupting our form.
'It will be fun to play Celtic and we are all looking forward to it.
'I don't think our form has been too bad – we just let ourselves down in our last game.
'We are a good team and although we recognise it will be tough against Celtic, we are confident we can give an excellent account of ourselves against a team as big as them.'
Youngster: Ronny Delia is hoping he can convince the player Celtic once tried to sign to come to Glasgow

Nostalgia was the name of the game at yesterday's Hollywood screening of The Iceman, although Bella Thorne and Winona Ryder took the concept in two very different directions. Are you a fan of Thorne's retro femme getup? Or is Ryder's somber glamour more your speed?
The redheaded Disney star may have been born nearly 20 years after Grease made its cinematic debut, but she channeled her inner Pink Lady in an Alice + Olivia mini and polka-dotted top. Similarly spotty were her heels, hair bow, and manicure — although only an accent nail — no need to go too overboard here!
And even though we think Bella Thorne would kind of be the perfect name for a witchy '90s goth girl, there was only room for one of those on this red carpet, and Ryder was clearly it. Going for a Morticia Addams on Valentine's Day vibe, she wore an embroidered burgundy velvet frock paired with piercing green jewels and blood red nails.
See both ensembles below, and for more of their red carpet style, see both Thorne and Ryder land on our Best Dressed lists with menswear-inspired homeruns:

Ray McNulty: Bitter memories about spring training's unhappy ending in Vero Beach
VERO BEACH — Every year at this time, as the calendar moves toward February and Florida prepares for the annual return of spring training, I think back to the day the Los Angeles Dodgers deserted us.
And it hits me.
The sadness.
The nostalgia.
Even some lingering disgust over the shabby, classless way the Dodgers, after 61 mostly wonderful years, cut short their final stay at Dodgertown so they could go to China for a Major League Baseball-concocted money grab, then finish the spring in Arizona.
This will be our fourth winter without spring training on the northern tier of the Treasure Coast. And, it seems, most folks here already have forgotten all about the magic and charm of those six chamber-of-commerce weeks at Dodgertown.
But I haven't.
As much as I remember what was, I still think about what might've been.
I still think about Indian River County's botched — and, ultimately, failed — efforts to lure another team to replace the Dodgers.
I still think about how an obviously overmatched county administrator, Joe Baird, naively signed a one-sided exclusivity agreement with the unscrupulous snakes negotiating on behalf of the Baltimore Orioles and, in so doing, killed any chance to save spring training at Dodgertown.
I still think about the Cincinnati Reds.
That's why I decided to call now-former Vero Beach city attorney Charlie Vitunac.
He monitored the county's negotiations with the Orioles and provided legal counsel to then-city manager Jim Gabbard, who represented the city's interest as a quasi-partner in the Dodgertown deal.
He confirmed that the Reds were interested.
He, as do I, can't help but wonder if the Reds were the team Baird let get away.
"The Cincinnati Reds called Jim and wanted to talk about the possibly of coming to Dodgertown," Vitunac said. "But once we told them about the exclusivity agreement, they refrained from any further discussions. They said they would respect the agreement."
Unfortunately, the Orioles didn't.
While the exclusivity agreement prevented Baird from talking to other teams, it allowed the Orioles, who then trained in Fort Lauderdale, to continue negotiations with that city — and only that city.
The Orioles, however, were secretly making inquiries in Sarasota and Fort Myers.
"They told us they were NOT negotiating with Sarasota, but one of our people just happened to see their lawyer there," Vitunac said. "They said it was a coincidence."
Some coincidence.
The Orioles, after using Dodgertown for leverage to get the best possible deal across the state, moved their spring-training headquarters to Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota.
"They never wanted to come here," Vitunac said. "They wanted to keep us alive and barking to get the deal they wanted over there. Every time they made a demand, we acceded. They got whatever they wanted from us, and they still wouldn't make the deal ... because they really didn't want one.
"They just wanted to use us," he added, "and they did."
In the end, the Orioles' final counterproposal was unrealistic, seeking millions of dollars more in facility improvements and infrastructure upgrades, as well as a mind-boggling, 90-year lease on the old Dodgertown Golf Course property — the city-owned, 37.5-acre tract the team wanted to develop for retail purposes and continue to use even if it left town.
They demanded a deal they knew the county couldn't do.
"The whole thing," Vitunac said, "was a farce."
Just so you know: The city didn't become a party to the negotiations with the Orioles until the team requested use of the golf course property.
Vitunac believes that was a mistake.
"They should've brought us in from the beginning, so we all could've put our heads together and come up with a better way," Vitunac said, adding that the city, once engaged, cooperated throughout the negotiations. "But the county wanted to do it alone."
Until it couldn't.
By then, however, Baird already had entered into that wrongheaded exclusivity agreement, which prohibited the county from pursuing the Reds — who, despite a long history in Florida, decided in April 2008 to move their spring-training operation to Arizona in 2010.How serious were the Reds about moving to Vero Beach?
"I don't know because we never got the chance to talk to them," Vitunac said. "But they called us, so they must've had at least some interest. It would've been nice to hear what they had to say."
It might've saved spring training at Dodgertown.
The more I think about it, especially at this time of year, the worse I feel.

since I was too lazy to write my own post I thought I would link up with My Little Life for Five Question Friday! Head on over to link up....
1. What do you listen to while driving?
If I'm with the kids I'm forced to listen to Kidz Bop, Justin Beiber, or some other Disney Channel super star. Or we have a jammin' CD of Toddler Favorites, which includes 'Old MacDonald', 'I'm a Little Teapot', etc. If I'm alone, and let's face it, that is a RARE occurrence, I listen to 70's & 80's with the occasional Ke$ha, Lady GaGa or whatever is on the non-country radio station. Not that I have anything against country...I like some of it. In moderation. Did you know that 80's is considered "classic rock" now?! Damn, I'm gettin' old.
2. What is your least favorite thing about Fall?
3. What does your dream house look like, inside and out?
That would take too long to describe in detail, but let's say it would be something fabulous with a gorgeous view of the ocean. (and well-insured for when it was messed up by hurricanes). With a pool. And a home gym.
4. Would you ever own a minivan?
I did own a minivan. For about 5 minutes. My Dad talked me into it (he used to sell used cars as a side business). I despised it. In less than 2 weeks I had it sitting back on his lot. He just didn't understand how a MOM could not love a minivan. Sorry. Hate them.
5. Do you wash new clothes before wearing them?
Almost always.

NEW YORK (AP) — Southern California is No. 1 in the AP Top 25, tossing off the weight of NCAA sanctions and returning to a familiar place in the rankings — with a boost from LSU's problems.
USC earned the top spot in The Associated Press' preseason college football poll for the seventh time in school history and the first time in five seasons, edging out No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 LSU.
The Trojans received 25 of a possible 60 first-place votes from a media panel in a close vote. USC received 1,445 points. Defending national champion Alabama had 17 first-place votes and 1,411 points while LSU, the Crimson Tide's SEC rival, got 16 first-place votes and 1,402 points.
Oklahoma was fourth with a single first-place vote and Oregon was fifth. Michigan, at No. 8, received the only other first-place vote.
The Tigers were poised to start the season No. 1 before Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu got kicked off the team a week ago.
In light of that development, the AP extended the voting deadline. Before Mathieu was dismissed, reportedly for failed drug tests, LSU had received 28 of a possible 60 first-place votes. USC was a close second with 22 first-place votes and Alabama was third with nine.
The USA Today coaches' poll, which was released Aug. 2, had LSU at No. 1, followed by Alabama and USC.
Rounding out the top 10 in the AP rankings, Georgia was No. 6, followed by Florida State and Michigan. No. 9 South Carolina and No. 10 Arkansas give the Southeastern Conference half of the first 10 teams.
For the Trojans, their return to national championship contention comes just two years after the program was hit by NCAA sanctions that seemed crippling at the time.
"To be handed down what they said could be a death penalty, could take USC 10 years to come back from, then to have this recognition and be preseason No. 1 is very exciting for our fans because a lot people thought two years ago that this would not be possible for USC," coach Lane Kiffin told the AP.
Kiffin was an assistant coach for USC during its last great run. From 2001-09 under coach Pete Carroll, the Trojans won two national titles and played for a third, made seven straight BCS appearances and had three Heisman Trophy winners in Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush. At one point, USC spent a record 33 straight weeks at No. 1.
But Carroll left for the NFL after the 2009 season and Kiffin was hired to replace him. A few months later the NCAA hit USC with a two-year bowl ban, plus scholarship limitations and probation because Bush and his family received impermissible benefits.
USC went 8-5 in 2010, then charged back to 10-2 last season. And when star quarterback Matt Barkley decided to stick around for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft, the Trojans were set to make a run at No. 1.
And USC is once again trendy in Los Angeles.
"Do you feel that? Sure you do," Kiffin said. "Games already sold out. Just the energy around it. All those different things. That's how it was before. I've talked to these players about it."
With Barkley, the preseason Heisman favorite, along with receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, plus running backs Curtis McNeal and Penn State transfer Silas Redd, these Trojans have drawn comparisons to those great Leinart/Bush offenses.

Black Friday is about to get a whole lot darker and uglier. Ex-marine Lieutenant John "Take-em'-out" Maverick is training a group of shoppers in hand-to-hand shopping techniques in expectation of the annual bloodbath that is Black Friday.
The shoppers that have signed up to this expensive course believe that it is money well spent. Felix Wimperoony remarked, "Last year a large female Traffic Warden put me in a headlock so that I couldn't talk to the sales girl. This time I will be able to take her down, no problem."
The Lieutenant told me that at 2300 hours he will lower the shoppers from his helicopter onto the roofs of several shops. There they will blow the hatches of the ventilation shafts using c4 explosive. They have been taught how to camouflage themselves inside the various departments of the stores. He showed me just how easy it is to trip someone up using the straps on a shopping bag.
I watched as he put them through their paces. "Hug the wall!" he shouted, as he showed them how to move through a large crowd of people. On the desk were the blueprints of every large store in the New York area. Some of the shoppers were in tears as they were forced to run around Messy's department store ten times.
Security at Messy's has been heightened, and when I asked a guard there if he was expecting much trouble, he replied, "Nothing we can't handle. We always figure to lose a dozen or so customers each year."

This is a curry sauce that's been doing the rounds for a while, sounds like it should be disgusting but it's yum, give it a go.
1 tin Mushy Peas
1 tin Chopped Tomatoes
1 Onion
Curry Powder to taste
Empty the cans of mushy peas and chopped tomatoes into a blender and blend until smooth.
Peel and chop the onion, take a frying pan and spray with fry light, fry the onion until tender. Add the blended pea and tomato mixture to the frying pan and add curry powder (the type and amount of powder depends on how hot/spicy you like your curry, e.g medium, madras, vindaloo).
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 20 - 30 mins, add a little water if required so that it doesn't thicken too much. Some have suggested adding a little sweetener at the end to give it a chip shop curry taste.
Serve with SW chips or rice. Alternatively you can add chicken or quorn, don't forget to check the sin values depending on whether your on a Green or Red Day.
Sins per serving:
FREE - Green Day
Mushy peas - 28g = 1 sin multiplied by size of tin used - Red Day

David James McKnight, age 83, of Parishville NY, died on Tuesday, October 8 at his home under the loving care of his family and Hospice of St. Lawrence County. He is survived by his wife Ester, daughters Teresa (Robert Martin), Shirley (Richard Boulden), Karen (Patrick Herron), son David (Anne) and five grandchildren, Mark and Timothy Herron, Chris and Andrew Martin, and Joseph Boulden.
David McKnight was born in Chase Mills NY to the late David H. McKnight and Hazel Safford McKnight on July 7, 1930. David graduated from Madrid High School and attended SUNY Canton, returning to the family farm due to his fathers illness.
David married Ester Lorenzoni on December 26, 1954, a marriage that lasted almost 59 years. They established a farm in Hopkinton NY where they raised their family. David was a volunteer for the Hopkinton fire department for 20 years. He was a past chairman of the Agricultural Commission Cooperative Extension. David served for 25 years on the Parishville-Hopkinton Central School board. He was on the advisory board of Niagara Mohawk and he was a past chairman and trustee for the Hopkinton Congregational Church for 40 years.
David could be found at his childrens ball games and school activities. He played softball with the fire department and was on a bowling league. He loved to enjoy what he considered the beautiful land around him by taking his family on drives, riding snowmobiles or four-wheelers, canoeing on the river or going to visit family and friends.
The family will receive visitors on Thursday, October 10 at the Seymour Funeral Home from 2–4 pm and 7–9 pm. A memorial service will be held at the Hopkinton Congregational Church at 11 am on Friday, October 11, 2013. Pastor Scott Daby will be officiating. A reception at the town hall will follow. The internment will be at the familys discretion.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in Davids memory to the Hopkinton Fire Department or the Parishville Fire Department and Rescue Squad or a charity of your choosing. Arrangements are being handled by Seymour Funeral Home in Potsdam.

Fur Babies?
Some of us say we got a dog because we're too busy with our careers to have children. But if you really think about it, our dogs are just like children. Small, furry, adorable children who never grow up, so to speak. So it's really a bit of a win-win situation, isn't it? To support our argument, we've put together the top three reasons why dogs are remarkably similar to children.

So a week ago, I did a little talk at the MOMS group I am part of on all these lovely homemade Christmas gift ideas. And today I had two different moms come up to me to tell me that they have been making coasters by the boatload to give as Christmas gifts! I'm so glad I could be of help. :)
So here's the instructions:
This is probably the easiest idea I have come across in awhile. It costs the least, and takes the least amount of time. Plus it's totally customizable. What could be better?
First, head to Lowe's and pick up some of those plain white tiles - you know, the ones that cost 16 cents a piece (yes, they really are that cheap!) Next, you need either some scrapbook paper, or some favorite photos printed on regular paper. Cut them just slightly smaller than the tile. Glue it on the tile, and cover with ModPodge (I think I talked about it in another post. It's basically just watered down Elmer's glue that can be found at any craft store.) I used a paint brush to get my ModPodge on nice and evenly, but you can even use your fingers if you want. Lastly, cut a piece of felt the same size as the tile and glue it to the bottom of the tile. That's it! Really! See, wasn't that easy? Use some photos of your kids to make some for grandparents, or photos of cool places for your globe-trotting aunt. Or just pick some nice scrapbook paper and give them to most anyone you need a gift for. :)

The Prosecutor in the Michael Brown Case Must Go
August 21, 2014
Robert McCulloch should step aside, precisely because the facts of the case are so murky
Weight Watchers
October 31, 2009
In New Jersey, any candidate for high office can count on getting smeared over taxes, corruption, the economy, or all of the above. But in this fall's hard-fought gubernatorial race, an unlikely issue has popped up amidst the usual mud-slinging: the portly physique of Republican challenger Chris Christie. Ever since Jon Corzine released his now-infamous attack ad, in which a disdainful voiceover claims Christie improperly "threw his weight around" as a U.S. Attorney, neither candidate has managed to entirely escape the politics of fat.
Presumed Guilty
October 28, 2009
A few weeks ago, I posted a "Nightline" segment featuring an interview with John Jackson, the prosecutor in the death penalty case of Cameron Todd Willingham. Willingham, who was almost certainly innocent, was nonetheless found guilty and executed by the state of Texas in 2004. The basis for the conviction was evidence given by arson investigators that was subsequently shown to be entirely unscientific.
Dead Letter, Ctd.
October 08, 2009
For any interested in witnessing the willfully slipshod and malevolent manner in which the state of Texas applies the death penalty, "Nightline" has done a follow-up segment to David Grann's New Yorker piece on the wrongful execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.
Why Was Letterman Being Blackmailed?
October 03, 2009
In today's front page New York Times story on the Letterman case, the lawyer for the CBS employee charged with larceny had some amusing things to say. [The lawyer] said that the prosecutor's remarks in court about Mr. Halderman's debts showed that "they're obviously searching for a motive." Right, a motive. Isn't the motivating factor in trying to blackmail someone for $2 million dollars...$2 million dollars???
The Plot Thins
September 29, 2009
Among those who know me well, few can remember when I covered any subjects other than Al Qaeda and the global jihad. I wrote about Osama Bin Laden when he was "Usama bin Ladin." And so since September 14, all anybody's been asking me are questions about a young Afghan immigrant named Najibullah Zazi and his alleged involvement in the first Al Qaeda cell uncovered in America since the 9/11 attacks. Here are my answers to the four most common questions I've been getting. 1. Is this just another of the government's over-hyped terror plots? U.S.
Toobin: Don't Torture Zazi
September 25, 2009
The New Yorker's Jeff Toobin offers a good response to my open question about how we should be handling Najibullah Zazi, an accused al Qaeda terrorist who may be in league with men still on the loose: Time to break the waterboard out of storage? I think not—and not just because it's illegal. The U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn which is bringing the case (and where I was a prosecutor in the early nineties) filed a brief where it outlined the reasons why Zazi should be detained rather than released on bail.
The Bloodlust State
September 23, 2009
For any who were not adequately shaken by David Grann's masterful article "Trial by Fire," about a man put to death by the state of Texas for a crime he almost certainly did not commit, Ta-Nehisi Coates points to a Salon article by Alan Berlow that simply beggars belief: If anyone had any doubt that the Texas justice system operates in a parallel universe, look no further than the latest decision by the state's highest court in the case of death-row inmate Charles Dean Hood.
Mob Rule?
September 03, 2009
WASHINGTON -- Health care reform is said to be in trouble partly because of those raucous August town hall meetings in which Democratic members of Congress were besieged by shouters opposed to change. But what if our media-created impression of the meetings is wrong? What if the highly publicized screamers represented only a fraction of public opinion?
Did Holder Have a Choice?
August 25, 2009
Marc Ambinder makes a smart point about Eric Holder's decision to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate CIA interrogators: There was so much information in the public domain--and so much information that would eventually be released--that the attorney general could no longer argue that no specific instances of lawbreaking had been brought to his attention.

Angels on the B Train
By Shane Miller
The Bronx Journal Reporter
In early 1979, Curtis Sliwa, a McDonald's cashier, was riding the Four train in the Bronx when he saw youths harassing and abusing people. Sliwa was upset that there was no one there to protect the victims and so he decided to take action.
On February 13th, Sliwa gathered 12 of his friends from McDonald's and started to patrol Bronx trains at night. The group of men called themselves the "Magnificent 13."
Sliwa and his friends soon realized their community was not the only place in New York that needed additional security. The Magnificent 13 branched out into Manhattan and other areas of the city. They got off the trains and started patrolling streets as well. One of their priorities was to reach young people, especially the ones in gangs.
Gradually the group began to grow and Sliwa changed the name from the Magnificent 13 to the Guardian Angels. As they started to become more popular in neighborhoods, more people started volunteering to be a part of the group.
New members are required to go through a background check to join. Once a person passes the check, he goes through a strict training program and a probation period of a year. The training includes martial arts classes, which is essential because Guardian Angels are not allowed to carry weapons while they patrol.
When Benjamin Garcia was 15 years old, he witnessed a young lady being attacked and said he was saddened because, "People on the train were watching like it was a movie." The commuters made no effort to help. But soon enough, Garcia saw two Guardian Angels come and rescue the woman from her attackers. Garcia, now 49, was so inspired by this that in 1986 he decided to join the Guardian Angels.
Twenty-six years later, crime continues to be an unfortunate reality of life in New York City and Garcia is still an active member of the Guardian Angels. "I volunteer all year round with the Guardian Angels," says Garcia. "Everything is on your time, after school, after work, whenever is good for you."
The Angels also continue their train patrols in the four boroughs, wearing their signature red berets and white t-shirts. Entering the subway in October, a team of three Angels splits up, each spreading into different train cars. They radio each other the all-okay via walkie talkies and stand at attention near the exits. On one ride, an Hispanic woman leans over to thank Garcia, saying it is amazing to see the Guardian Angels still at work after all these years. At the end of the line, Bedford Park, an elderly man has fallen asleep. Garcia wakes him up, "Excuse me sir, this is the last stop and you have to get off."
Everybody with the Guardian Angels works for free. Garcia says he likes it that way because he feels it makes it more genuine. If we charged for the service, he says, people might think we are just doing it for a check.
Most recently the Guardian Angels patrolled Washington Heights and Coney Island during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. They gave out food, set up charging stations for people and patrolled areas where there were reports of looting. Their work is not done and Garcia plans on going to Far Rockaway in Queens to help with the devastation. "We enjoy helping people, this is what the Guardian Angels are all about," says Garcia.
On Garcia's first patrol as a Guardian Angel, a thief snatched a purse from a woman. He and his fellow Angels caught the assailant and waited for officers to arrive. "When something like this happens, we wait for officers to get there and we exchange contact info in case the Guardian Angels need to testify in court," says Garcia.
The relationship between the NYPD and the Angels was rocky in the past, said Garcia, because officers weren't sure initially if the group was out to protect people, or to menace the community. "With time our relationship did get better when they (the NYPD) saw that we were trying to help our community," said Garcia.
Guardian Angels monitor the police radio and if an officer is in need of assistance, they might offer help if backup takes a while to arrive.
The Guardian Angels organization has grown tremendously over the years and are now located in all five boroughs of New York City, every state in the United States, and in several different countries around the world. The Guardian Angels not only patrol trains and neighborhoods, they also have programs for children six and up. "We help them with martial arts, homework, different kind of trips and show them there's a different life from the ghetto where they live," says Garcia. The Guardian Angels host an annual gift-giving event in Washington Heights a few days before Christmas.
As a non-profit organization, the Angels depend on donations from the community to stay afloat. They do have some wealthy patrons that support the cause and a few celebrities have donated.
The work can be dangerous at times. Garcia remembers being on a train in Brooklyn and seeing a man attacking a woman who was with her young daughter. When the assailant threatened to kill Garcia, he handcuffed him and waited for the police to arrive. Garcia says his most memorable moment as an Angel was when the little girl looked up at him and said, "Thanks for helping my mommy."

Career Advice in Finance
Jim Baldyga
Could you describe your current job?
"I work for Penwood Realty Advisers. We are a real estate investment management company and we manage several real estate investment funds for public pension plans. My job is an Investment Analyst. I analyze potential new acquisitions for inclusion in the funds. I work on an industrial value-add fund, which means we buy either land or existing industrial buildings (warehouses/manufacturing facilities) with the plan of developing or redeveloping the sites and then selling to users or other investors."
Do you have any advice for current economic students?
"Typically people in my line of work come from a finance or MBA program and it's near impossible to get into an investment position without a solid finance background. If econ grads want to get into the investment field, they'll need to find a way to augment their econ background with some sort of finance training; a double major, etc. I did this through the CFA program which is a self-directed professional designation program. I've found that having an econ background gives me an enhanced ability to value potential investments because I can put them in the context of the broader economy and I have a better idea of how the macro setting will affect my valuation assumptions. Long story short: having a strong econ background to go along with finance training can be a competitive advantage in the investment field in my opinion."

Boston Hospitals Training Staff To Watch For Signs Of Ebola Virus
July 30, 2014 9:13 AM

Health News & Information: CBSBoston.com/Health
BOSTON (CBS) – Boston hospitals are training staff to be on the lookout for warning signs of the ebola virus, which kills 90 percent of people infected.
A doctor who died from the disease in Liberia had moved there from Minnesota to work as a government official.
He was headed back to the the United States to see his wife and three small children when he got sick during a stop in Nigeria.
Some Boston hospitals are now telling staff to get travel histories from patients who may have symptoms and isolate those who may have been exposed.
