This application is a non-provisional application gaining priority from provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/655,972 filed Feb. 22, 2005. That provisional is incorporated herein.
This application relates to device that improves engine efficiency. More specifically and without limitation this invention relates to an improved fuel saver.
Currently, in the art of batteries, such as car batteries, a battery has a cell with one plate made of lead and another plate made of leaded dioxide and has a strong sulfuric acid electrite in which the plates are immersed. From this chemical reaction within the lead acid battery, electrons flow powering whatever device is connected to the battery. Though current lead acid batteries effectively power devices such as automobiles, many problems in the art remain. First, the life expectancy of an average battery in an automobile can be as little as three to four years. Additionally, current car batteries cause inefficiencies within the car motor thus lowering the miles per gallon of gasoline that a car may travel.
Batteries having a nuclear core have been developed to attempt to harness the energy from a long lasting source. The radioactive materials of these batteries have been used with chemicals known as phosphors to create light that can be converted into electricity. Though electricity has been created, because of the radioactive nature of the core material, these batteries are unsafe for everyday use.
Attempts to solve the problem of creating an nuclear-cored battery that is safe for everyday use have been made, however scientist have been unable to find a material that will effectively shield the radioactive radiation of the nuclear core material and yet still produce sufficient light that can be efficiently converted into electricity. Thus, there is a need in the art for an improved nuclear battery.
High temperature ceramics such as Al2O3, alumina and zirconium oxide in the past have been used to contain radioactive wastes such that these ceramic containers or sarcophaguses have radioactive waste material placed therein and are buried in the ground. A high temperature ceramic is defined as any ceramic material that has a melting point above 2,000 degrees Centigrade. The ceramic structure is stable and dense enough that this structure is not altered by the radioactive radiation. Nonetheless, high temperature ceramics have never been used in the field of nuclear-cored batteries because the dense structure of the ceramics is not conducive to the production of photons using a radioactive source.
Additionally, in the current art of manufacturing processes that have been developed to produce similar crystals to those that will be created in manufacturing the nuclear-cored battery are not conducive to the mass production needed to make a profit in the business community. Specifically, during the production of photoluminescent crystals the manufacturing process requires multiple steps of mixing, milling, and heating material continually. These processes not only take a lot of time and effort, but also produce inferior crystals. Thus, there is a need for a new method of manufacturing crystals that reduces the cost to produce the crystals while increasing the quality of the crystal.
Furthermore, to assist in the manufacturing process of the nuclear-cored battery the current manufacturing equipment that would be used to manufacture the battery cause inefficiencies during the manufacturing process. Specifically, a problem exists with the nano-material production equipment, such as a plasma spray gun that will be used to manufacture the nuclear-cored battery of this disclosure. A problem with current plasma spray guns exists in that these guns use a tungsten anode and electrode that deplete into the plasma stream as the equipment is used, thus limiting the life of the anode and electrode such that current anode and electrodes within a plasma spray gun only last approximately 250 hours. Thus there is a need in the art to improve upon the life of the anode and electrode with a plasma spray gun.
Another technology that may be improved uses a similar solution as will be disclosed regarding the nano-material production equipment and this technology is known as a fuel saver. A fuel saver converts O2 into O3. Currently, alumina plates are placed on top of copper plates thus creating the fuel saver and the combination of these plates are used as discharge plates within the fuel saver. Nonetheless, these fuel saver units known in the art do not yield an optimum output potential. Thus, there is a need for an improved manufacturing process to create a fuel saver, and a need for a more efficient fuel saver.
Thus, the principal object of the present invention is to provide a fuel saver that converts O2 into O3 at an efficient rate.
Another object of the present invention is to use a thermal plasma spray process to improve upon a fuel saver.
Yet another object of the present invention is to improve the dielectric quality of a fuel saver.
These and other objects, features, or advantages will become apparent from the specification and the claims.
A decomposition cell that comprises two metal plates in parallel spaced relation wherein each plate has a layer of molten dielectric material sprayed thereon by using a plasma spray process. The decomposition cell also has a high voltage high frequency source attached to a metal plate to cause a discharge in the space created between the layers of dielectric material called a discharge area. Furthermore, magnesium oxide can be introduced into the plasma spray process so that it will be doped with the dielectric material to increase the efficiency of the decomposition cell. One type of decomposition cell is a fuel saver that is created by taking a rolled copper body and thermally applying a molten alumina matrix thereto. This alumina matrix can also be doped with magnesium oxide further enhancing the fuel saver's ability to convert O2 into O3.
The nuclear core 14 is surrounded by a ceramic phosphor material 16 that is in one embodiment a crystalline having a carbon defect such that the ceramic phosphor material 16 in combination with the nuclear core forms a light dissipating material 17. In one embodiment, the ceramic phosphor material comprises a high temperature ceramic. In another embodiment this high temperature ceramic comprises a matrix having Al2O3:C. In yet another embodiment zinc sulfide, or another high temperature ceramic having a carbon defect is used. The ceramic material within the ceramic phosphor material 16 is used to shield and absorb the radiation emitted by the nuclear core 14 while the phosphors are excited by the radioactive radiation of the nuclear core 14 causing the phosphors to produce energy in the form of photons. In another embodiment lanthides are used as a defect for the phosphors. The carbon defect increases the bandwidth of the ceramic material, and the lanthides are used to increase the bandwidth of the phosphors. Thus, the ceramic material prevents radiation from being emitted past the ceramic phosphor material 16, yet this material 16 is still able to produce photons.
In one embodiment the ceramic phosphor material 16 is made into a crystalline (crystal) that is an amorphous crystalline or a structured crystalline and that is manipulated during the manufacturing process so that the photons being emitted by the material 16 are at an optimum wavelength (and thus color) to maximize the efficiency of the nuclear-cored battery 10. One example of how the crystalline is manipulated is by adding MO.m(Al2O3):Eu,R to the ceramic phosphor material, wherein M is chosen from one of the alkaline metals such as strontium, calcium, and barium; R is any of the lanthanides; Eu is present at a level from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight and preferably 0.1-5% by weight; and R is present at a level from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight and preferably 0.1-5% by weight. Thus the final formula of the ceramic phosphor material will comprise the matrix MO.m(Al2O3):C:Eu,R.
Another example of a material that is added to the ceramic phosphor material 16 to manipulate the output frequency of the photons being emitted is yttrium oxysulfide doped with titanium and magnesium material that forms a crystal that emits red to orange wavelengths of light. Thus for red and orange wavelengths the ceramic phosphor material comprises the matrix MOS:Mg,Ti,Eu wherein M is chosen from a group consisting of MgO, ZnO, ZrO, CuO, Yttrium Oxide, or Gallium Oxide.
The excitation of the base light emitter, such as Al2O3:C, causes the stimulation of the crystals and the combined frequency gives the final output color. Thus the output frequency of the ceramic phosphor material 16 is manipulated to any color in the visible spectrum. Below is a list of examples of different ceramic phosphors and the color wavelengths of the photons that are emitted by each depending on the amount of each element provided:
Thus, each combination listed creates a separate crystalline structure depending upon the content of each element present. Each crystalline separately is unique in its interaction with different radiations produced by the nuclear core 14, and each will produce a different wavelength of visible light emitted from the crystalline.
Surrounding the ceramic phosphor material 16 is a photovoltaic layer 18 that transforms the photons into a flow of electrons to create an energy source, or sphere 12. One will appreciate that in one embodiment the photovoltaic layer 18 is made of an amorphous silicon that also is altered with defects by, for example, doping the material with magnesium in order to manipulate a stimulating frequency of the photovoltaic layer 18. Other examples of defects include titanium and chromium. Thus the output frequency of the photons generated by the ceramic phosphor material 16 is manipulated or tuned while manipulating or tuning the stimulating frequency of the photovoltaic layer 18 so that the most efficient amount of light created by the ceramic phosphor material 16 is converted into an electron flow by the photovoltaic layer 18.
After a plurality of spheres 12 are created the battery is formed by surrounding a plurality of spheres 12 with a conductive material 20 that is an intermediate layer that carries the spheres 12. This conductive material 20 comes into direct contact with the spheres 12 and in one embodiment is a conductive polymer, one example of which is a sulfidized polymer. One such conductive polymer is poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate. A P and N layer 22 comprising a P layer 22 a and an N layer 22 b sandwiches the spheres therebetween to harness the electron flow created by the photovoltaic layer 18 to create the nuclear-cored battery 10. Additionally, a layer of insulating material 23 can be used to surround the P and N layer 22.
Finally, spheres 12 in one embodiment are in powder form and will range in size from 50 microns to sub micron in size depending on the application and output. Nonetheless, in another embodiment a metal is added to the nuclear core 14 of the battery 10 in order to increase the size of the spheres 12 for macro-sized applications.
As shown in
In operation, the nuclear core 14 emits radiation, for example, beta radiation that is an electron. When the electron comes in contact with the ceramic phosphor material 16 the radioactive radiation is stopped by the ceramic, yet the electron excites the phosphors causing an electron to "jump" from a 4d valence energy level to a higher valence energy level within a phosphor. When that electron "settles" back to its original 4d state, energy in the form of a photon is emitted. When the ceramic phosphor material 16 includes a carbon defect in its matrix the carbon defect increases the bandwidth of the phosphor allowing more photons to be generated. Furthermore, the matrix of the ceramic phosphor material 16 will determine the frequency of the photon that is being emitted from the ceramic phosphor material 16. These photons are then absorbed by the photovoltaic layer 18 to create an electron flow that is harnessed by the P and N layer 22 to cause the battery 10 to function.
When other radioactive radiations are present such as gamma and alpha radiation, the phosphors still become "excited" and produce photons, but not in the same way as beta radiation. Thus all types of radioactive material may be used as the nuclear core 14.
Manufacturing the nuclear-cored battery involves a multi-step process.
The next step 32 is to process the nuclear material via a spray dryer 34 into a spherical metal or compound to be used as the nuclear core 14. The core 14 in one embodiment is a compound that is an oxide or carbonate that creates a stronger structure, with a higher melting point than the metal that the oxide or carbonate are derived from. Other methods and equipment such as a precipitation method or some other form of sprayer is also used to create the nuclear core 14.
At step 36 a ceramic phosphor slurry material that in one embodiment is made of a base material of Al2O3:C and phosphors is created. The ceramic phosphor slurry is a frequency alternating mixture that in one embodiment comprises strontium carbonate, europium oxide, dysprosium oxide, or the like (depending on the output frequency desired) that is mixed into a water and alumina powder. The ceramic phosphor slurry, water and alumina powder are milled together to a nano mean size to form a ceramic phosphor slurry material. This is preformed in a media mill or mixing chamber 38 or other systems. In one embodiment a carbon defect is added to the ceramic phosphor slurry material by using graphite, or another carbon additive while making the ceramic phosphor slurry.
At step 40 the nuclear core material is introduced to the ceramic phosphor slurry material and then at step 42 a temporary binder is added (ammonia nitrate or another gas is used to create a porous structure as necessary) and the ceramic phosphor slurry material with a nuclear core material having a temporary binder is then mixed to create a homogenous mixture. Examples of the temporary binding material are methal cellulose, poly vinyl alcohol, or the like.
This homogenous mixture is processed again through the spray drier 34 to dry the homogenous mixture to form an outer shell at step 46. At step 46 the homogenous mixture is delivered to the spray drier 34 and into the cavity of the spray drier 34 by double annulus spray nozzle or discharge wheel. The homogenous mixture is then hit with a blast of hot air that evaporates the water within the homogenous mixture and dries the temporary binding material at step 48 to form a temporarily bound layer of mixed ceramics. Atmospheric gas of nitrogen, argon, and/or carbon dioxide is used to assist in the process. In the embodiment wherein the base ceramic is Al2O3:C step 48 forms a semi ridged spherical particle with the nuclear core 14 surrounded by a temporarily bound layer of mixed ceramics having an alumina structure.
At step 50 the particle created at step 48 is subjected to a high temperature portion of the processing, or plasma thermal process using a thermal plasma spray system 52 having at least one plasma gun 53. With temperatures that are adjusted from 2,000 to over 15,000 centigrade the mixed ceramics from step 48 are brought to a molten state for a short amount of time, preferably under a minute, thus creating a layer of mixed ceramics in a molten state. While in this molten state the temporary binding material will burn out and the nuclear core with the layer of mixed ceramics becomes an amorphous structure as a result. The plasma stream sinters the layer of mixed ceramics to densify and calcinate or purify the layer. In one embodiment the layer of mixed ceramics has an alumina structure and this alumina structure is brought to a molten state for a short amount of time creating the amorphous structure.
While the particle created at step 48 is subjected to the high temperature portion of the processing structural defects are introduced. In one embodiment these defects include carbon defects and/or lanthide defects. Once a carbon defect is added the layer of mixed ceramics in combination with the nuclear core 14 becomes a light dissipating material 17. Thus, the nuclear core 14 after this high temperature processing will no longer be radioactive in nature past the layer of mixed ceramics. The radioactive decay will be transformed into light that is emitted out from the light dissipating material 17.
During step 54 the light dissipating material 17 is propelled into a quenching chamber 56 and a pair of cooling nozzles that in one embodiment emit a crosscurrent of quenching gas that is an air and gas mixture cools and incepts further amounts of carbon into the light dissipating material 17 to form a crystalline. One will also appreciate that the temporary binder provided some carbon content as it burned out but the use of carbon dioxide in the quenching gas will allow for total coverage of carbon within the light dissipating material 17. Also the use of nitrogen, or other inert gas, as a quenching gas will encourage the clarity of the crystalline allowing for a higher transfer of light from the light dissipating material 17. Rather than add the carbon defect in step 52, alternatively the carbon defect is added just in step 54. The heating of the nuclear core with a layer of mixed ceramics allows the introduction of the carbon defect at step 52, step 54, or both. The light dissipating material 17 now quenched and treated with the chamber gasses is collected by a cyclonic chamber 58 that is separate from the quenching chamber 56 at step 60. The light dissipating material 17 is then removed when collected.
Construction material in the quenching chamber 56 will be similar to that of the spray drier 34. Additionally, a scrubber system 62 is utilized to prevent the discharge of uncoated nuclear core particles in both the spray dry process and thermal plasma spray stages.
Once the light dissipating material 17 is created the material is spray dried with a coating of photovoltaic material such as silicon by the spray dryer 34 at step 64. At step 66 this layer is treated again with the thermal plasma process to densify the silicon on the light dissipating material 17 to create the photovoltaic layer 18, thus creating the sphere 12. By using the thermal plasma process the photovoltaic layer in one embodiment has an amorphous structure. This layering technique will allow for a high strength and small particle size with each layer interacting with the next. The spray dryer 34 gives the spheres 12 their shape and one will understand that these small spherical particles are in one embodiment the form of a powder.
At step 68 the finished powder is sandwiched between organic P and N layers 22 to draw away the electrons being discharged from the photovoltaic layer 18 of the spheres 12. Leads are connected to the P and N layers 22 to transport energy to a source consumer of the electricity at step 70. The P and N layers 22 in one embodiment are applied as a spray and conform to any shape desired or as a sheet 72 (
One will appreciate that though this method of manufacturing places a ceramic phosphor layer 16 over a nuclear core 14 to form a light dissipating material 17, that in another embodiment only the ceramic phosphor slurry undergoes the manufacturing process described to create a ceramic phosphor crystalline 16. This crystalline 16 is then used in association with the nuclear core 14 to create a light dissipating material 17.
In another embodiment seen in
The use of a discharge circuit in one embodiment is utilized to remove unused excess electricity created by the nuclear-cored battery 10. This electricity is converted to heat or other forms of energy to dissipate excess capacity. This energy could also be redirected to a capacitor to store the electricity during sporadic and inconsistent use of the source. The reason for the use of this circuit is that the battery 10 is going to give electricity continuously without delay for the duration of the core materials half-lives.
As shown in
Other products that can be produced from this source of energy are: room temperature super conductors, super conducting cables/wires, resistance free polymers, infinitely formable power supplies, energy sources for: electronics, houses, cities, countries, automobiles and other forms of transportation.
When in use the product life, whether a battery, or another product using the energy source disclosed above, is determined by the material(s) of the nuclear core 14. Therefore, a manufacturer by selecting the nuclear core material has the ability to pre-select a time limit that a product will function. This is accomplished by first testing nuclear materials by carbon dating or the like to determine a half life for the materials to provide nuclear materials having known half lives. Then a nuclear material having a known half life is selected and used as a nuclear core 14 of a nuclear-cored battery 10. Thus, once this nuclear core ceases to produce effective radioactive radiation the product will shut down.
Another way of pre-selecting the time limit of a product that is produced from the above energy source is to attach a timing mechanism such as a timing circuit to the product that will terminate the operation of the product after a pre-selected occurrence. In one embodiment the timing mechanism is programmed to disable a product after a pre-selected period of time such as for example 10 years. In an alternative embodiment the timing mechanism disables a vehicle after a pre-selected amount of distance traveled by the vehicle. For example the timing mechanism could sense when a vehicle has driven 50,000 miles and disable the vehicle at that time.
The reason for pre-selecting the life of a product using the energy source 12 is because when a radioactive core material is used, this energy source can have the potential of lasting for trillions of years. Thus, without pre-selecting the time of the life of a product, consumers will have no need to repurchase a product. Furthermore, many devices such as DVDs, personal electronics, and others that could use the energy source 12 involve technologies that are continually being improved. Thus, products having a pre-selected life will allow for the miniaturization of many electronics and the development of new technologies to ensure products remain up to date. Thus to ensure technology will continue to move forward, the products using the nuclear-cored battery energy source 12 will need to have a pre-selected product life.
In an embodiment wherein a product uses a timing circuit to pre-select the time of the life of a nuclear cored product, this product will need to be recycled. The steps for recycling a nuclear-cored battery are shown in
A voltage supply is electrically connected to the plasma stream conduit 110 to supply voltage to the conduit 110 to create an electrostatic discharge that will convert feed gases into a plasma stream. This voltage supply may be integrated as a circuit that is part of the plasma gun 108 or may be a voltage supply that is remotely located from the plasma gun 108
The use of hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, and/or argon is used to produce the plasma stream. A hydrogen nitrogen combination will generate sufficient heat with the ability not to interact with the structure and alter the nuclear core with a layer of mixed ceramics introduced to the plasma spray gun 108. A high-energy electrostatic discharge through the gas causes the plasma phase of the gas to be generated. The gas is then ejected from the plasma stream conduit 110 of the plasma spray gun 108, and metallic or ceramic powders are introduced into the stream via the supply conduit 126 where the heat is transferred to the powders.
The anode 118 and electrode 120 create an electrostatic discharge causing the formation of the plasma gas. During this electrostatic discharge high amounts of energy cause a pitting of the surfaces of the anode 118 and electrode 120. To solve this problem the anode 118 and electrode 120 are milled to remove 2-20 mills and a dielectric material such as alumina is deposited onto the anode 118 and electrode 120 surfaces to create a dielectric barrier 128, preventing the pitting from the discharge of the static field, thus increasing the efficiencies of the unit and allowing for a higher purity in the end product. This dielectric material may be applied to the anode 118 and electrode surfaces using a thermal plasma process to spray molten dielectric material onto the anode 118 and electrode 120. Furthermore, in one embodiment the dielectric material may be doped with another material, such as for example, magnesium.
Specifically, the plasma spray system 130 of
The plurality of plasma spray jets 131 are positioned so that their plasma streams will intersect at a point 134 along the path of the atomized liquid and thus become part of the atomized liquid stream. With this system in place a smaller particle is produced and fewer steps are required to produce the same product.
The decomposition cell 136 of
Next the plates 138, 142 are placed in parallel spaced relation to create a discharge area 146 wherein air is able to flow through the cell 136. Thus during a discharge process, when the two metal plates 138, 142 are electrically connected to a high voltage high frequency source 148 and when voltage is supplied to the two metal plates 138, 142 an electrostatic discharge 149 occurs in the discharge area 146, thus decomposing pollutants flowing therethrough and filtering the air. One will appreciate that the high voltage high frequency source 148 may be supplied by a circuit that is part of the decomposition cell 136 or a by a voltage source remote to the cell 136.
As best shown in
In one embodiment shown in
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other various modifications could be made to the device without the parting from the spirit in scope of this invention. All such modifications and changes fall within the scope of the claims and are intended to be covered thereby.

In the spirit of thinking big, their public bow will be an hour-long tone poem "depicting the end of the world."

Active or not?
Hello, are you still active on Find A Grave?
I sent you an edit on a single HOUSTON name, but they all appear to need work. I am wondering, are you related to them? I ask because I've just added photos (still adding more) to those in Salem Cemetery in Cherokee Co. I noticed the family links to most of them are all incorrect, in fact they are in quite a mess. I think the problem is that the family used the same names over and over again in each line and they have gotten mixed up.
The name Wanda J. Rush Houston in Salem Cemetery is with her husband there in that cemetery ... his name is Dranon E. Houston, NOT the Samuel Houston to which she is linked.
Might I suggest you unlink ALL of the Houston names and start fresh. As is, its going to get patrons to the site VERY confused.

The planter is made from unglazed clay that's naturally porous. It consists of two sections: a centre chamber that stores water, and a doughnut-shaped pot for the soil and plants. You just fill up the centre chamber with water, and it'll slowly diffuse into the surrounding soil. As Roth points out, porous clay vessels have been used forever as a form of irrigation in climates that don't get a lot of rain. Ancient technique, meet your modern, domestic reincarnation. The planter is currently available for pre-order for $US45. [Joey Roth via TreeHugger]

Week 2: The DMN bloggers predict all the action this weekend, including the first Big 12 match of the season

No. 16 Oklahoma (1-0) vs. West Virginia (1-0) / 6 p.m. Saturday / Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium / Oklahoma blogger Ryan Osborne says: Don't give West Virginia too much freedom in the passing game and stay in control on offense. That's the simple formula for Oklahoma to get to 2-0. The only way I see this getting out of the Sooners' hands is lack of ball control or blown coverages in the secondary. A season-opening shutout though indicates that likely won't happen against a West Virginia team expected to have a down year.
PREDICTION: Oklahoma 35, West Virginia 14

In some households, mum or dad do all the cooking while the kids look on. In others, the kids are helping to prepare meals from an age when the most they can do is 'help' stir a cake batter. Sharing your kitchen with your child encourages an interest in cooking and food, and is the best way to encourage lifelong healthy eating habits.
Your child will learn all sorts of things when she's in the kitchen with you including:
As she matures, being involved in preparing food for the family will help build self-confidence in your child as she learns to move confidently in the kitchen and make meal decisions on behalf of the whole family.
Cooking with kids also provides the wonderful bonus of spending time together focussing on a shared task. This is often one of the best ways to casually catch up on each other's day - something that can be pretty tricky to do later when you have a non-communicative teenager in the house.

In 1989, "Back to the Future II" presented its vision of the year 2015: Think hoverboards, video phone calls, fax machines, dehydrated pizza and the Cubs winning the World Series. (The actor who played Biff, Tom Wilson, sure seems to think that last one will happen).
In the early-morning hours of Aug. 7, 1974, a week before his 25th birthday, French tightrope walker Philippe Petit stood with one foot on the roof edge of the almost-completed South Tower at the World Trade Center, and his other foot on the steel...
Jackman plays the dashing, full-of-himself diva of a pirate in director Joe Wright's "Pan," an origin story imagined from J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan." The film opens Friday.
Richard Gere's portrayal of a homeless man in this sanitized life-on-the-street drama is mildly affecting, but the film is nowhere near where it should be.
The film makes it OK to see the towers again, and not feel a tug of sadness. Not necessarily because "enough time" has passed, but because they're such cool, compelling characters in the story.
There's very little talking in "Sicario," at least from its major characters: FBI hostage response specialist Kate Macer (Emily Blunt), inter-agency task force chief Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), and the mystery man who calls...

'The Martian' is everything the over-hyped space-opera 'Interstellar' wasn't: fun, hip, affecting, thrilling.
The entire film builds and builds to his climactic moment of revenge porn. It's powerful, but not as intently as it could have been if Denis Villeneuve created a more palpable sense of suspense.
The first 90 minutes of the two-hour film is a tense and exciting and often funny buildup to Petit's "coup." Then the walk begins, and things get really interesting.

School looking into reasons for Ruchika`s expulsion
Chandigarh: The convent school, of which
Ruchika Girhotra was an alumna, on Wednesday said it was trying to
ascertain whether she was expelled from the institution under
pressure or was withdrawn by her family after the molestation
"We are trying to ascertain whether she was expelled or
withdrawn by her family from the school," Father Thomas, a
spokesman of the Sacred Heart School, told reporters here.
The school, located in the Union Territory, allegedly
expelled teenager Ruchika, a budding tennis player who was
molested by top cop S P S Rathore in 1990.
Terming the molestation incident and her subsequent
suicide as unfortunate, Father Thomas said the school would
fully cooperate with the Chandigarh administration which had
ordered a probe into the causes that led to her expulsion from
the institution.
"I do not believe that the school would have expelled
her due to any pressure," he said.
An SDM visited the school today in connection with the
probe and took into possession some documents, official
sources said.
Madhu Parkash, mother of Aradhana, a friend of Ruchika,
who has been vigorously pursuing the molestation case, had
filed a complaint before the Chandigarh Administration
alleging harassment of the girl by the school authorities.
Rathore`s daughter was also a student of the same class
in which Ruchika studied.
Rathore a 1965 batch IPS officer of Haryana, who retired
in 2002, was awarded a six-months jail term by a CBI court
here last week for molesting Ruchika when he was the IGP.

- Filed Under
Aweek ago a headline at the top of our front page was clear and to the ipoint: "Physicians lose child abuse suit." A secondary headline added that: "Plaintiff awarded $400,000 in case alleging doctors didn't report abuse."
Unfortunately, the main headline, as was the story under it, was as inaccurate as it was clear. A jury held Methodist Hospital responsible for not identifying and reporting suspected abuse of an 11-month-old child who was returned to his mother and later beaten to death by the mother's boyfriend. The jury ruled that the two physicians involved in the case, Dr. Gary Thompson and Dr. Michael Turner, were not liable.
No question, it was a very bad error.
Our newsgathering and editing processes include several steps to prevent mistakes. Reporters are expected to check and recheck the information in their stories. Stories go through multiple layers of editing before they are printed.
When we become aware of errors we correct them on Page 2 of our first, or "A," news section. We also append the correction to our archived stories and rewrite those stories to correct the error, to ensure that an error isn't repeated.
Some situations require more action on our part, however, and this was one of them.
I was on a business trip the day the error appeared. Managing Editor Pam Fine, when informed of the situation, immediately began gathering information. She concluded that this mistake merited not only a correction but also a follow-up news story for publication in the Sunday Star. She called me with her recommendation that we not only write a correction, an apology and a news story, but also that those items appear at the top of Page One, as did the original story. I concurred.
Pam then spoke with attorneys for the two physicians, informed them of our intentions, and apologized for the error. She later supervised preparation of the story and the Sunday headline, which read: "Jury: Doctors not liable in child abuse suit."
We are continuing to review the incident. Among the issues we are discussing: The jury's verdict wasn't read until 12:40 a.m. Saturday morning, right on our city edition deadline. To what extent did that affect our making the error, and could we have planned better knowing the story was running late? Two reporters, one from dayside and one from nightside, covered the final day of the trial. What role did that play?
The senior editor on our staff who handles metro, state and business reporting shipped me an e-mail last week while I was out of the office and urged me to write about the issue for today's column. Steve Berta spoke for all of us when he wrote, "Getting facts right is the ethic by which we live. . . .
"While we take stands on the editorial page and try to provoke thought with our columns, that advocacy is a secondary role; first and foremost we strive to be honest brokers of information. . . . Sometimes we get it wrong, but never is it taken lightly."
Noting the processes we have in place to minimize error, he urged me to remind readers that, "It may not be a perfect system, but we try to correct our errors because we would rather suffer the embarrassment of our mistakes than lose our credibility entirely."
If you see something in The Star that you believe to be an error, please let us know by calling (317) 444-6000.
Thanks for reading The Indianapolis Star.

Jack Aaronson | September 4, 2003 | Comments
Fight usability battles in the words of your customers.
I was on a flight one morning from Berlin to London via British Airways. I like British Airways. Before everyone says, "Here goes Jack complaining about the airlines again," let me assure you that isn't what this column is about.
I was in an exit row in business class, and the plane was almost completely full. I wasn't even supposed to be on that plane, but since I had slept through my scheduled 6 a.m. flight, I was thankful just to get a seat.
There I was, in a middle seat in an exit row with someone on my left and someone on my right. We all sat down at about the same time. We all realized how uncomfortable the seat was at the same time. We all pushed the button to recline our seats at the same time.
And we all realized, at the same time, this plane didn't allow exit row seats to recline. I was waiting for pandemonium to break out. Instead, the woman to my right started a discussion about consumer experience and the difference between features designed by a consumer advocate and those designed by an engineer.
For once in my life, I stayed silent and just listened to the conversation. Do I have a lot to add to a conversation about user experience? I sure hope so! But I was more interested in hearing the two people in my row discuss the problem and why they think it exists. I'm not sure what the woman on my right does for a living, but the man on my left is an electrical engineer. He had a lot to say about balancing design with usability, which he deals with in his job.
People who use your products, visit your stores, shop with you online, and read your advertisements are increasingly able to look through the marketing bull your company puts out and wishes were true. Consumers are getting savvier to the ways decisions are made in companies. When a user expectation is not met, consumers are no longer just taking it in stride and hoping you'll do better next time.
Instead, they analyze why you failed to meet their expectations and make assumptions about the conversations and political struggles that went on in your conference rooms. They figure out how you are failing as an organization and look for companies that have made the right decisions.
Wouldn't you prefer they just enjoy your products and services?
My message this week is this: Clean up your house. Work through as many political issues as you can in the next month or two. Cut through some political crap miring progress and user-focused design decisions by getting real testimonials from disgruntled users. Your CEO can't possibly ignore what his customers are actually saying, even if the CTO claims it isn't a big problem.
No, the world isn't that simple. But if you fight the political battle in the words of your customers, especially those in your biggest demographic segments, then the battle becomes less about what you think is right, and more about what your customers think is right. No one in your company should have a political beef with your customers. You, I'm not so sure about!
Agree? Disagree?
Until next time...

text: My girlfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights. The hotel is located on the main strip on ocean drive, walking distance to the beach and to the noise of south beach but far away enough to get away from. Lord Balfour is beautiful and tastefully decorated from the lobby to the hallways. The rooms are small but they make great use of the space. very comfortable beds with fresh smelling linens. the bathrooms are super tiny but once again super clean with modern and new fixtures. breakfast was simple and boring but atleast you have juice to get your morning going. Valet is expensive, so we parked 1 block away at 4th for $20 a day. We had a hot water problem with our room and we were given a different room immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

This week sees several big-rating shows make their returns, alongside some intriguing new prospects. From the premiere of Channel 4's Hunted to our final visit to the This Is England gang, these are Digital Spy's top picks over the next seven days.
Monday - Doc Martin, ITV at 9pm
Martin Clunes is back for his seventh series as the grumpy doctor down in sleepy and pretty Cornwall, and the show's relaxed humour and atmosphere remains as popular as ever.
Sadly this episode doesn't include Sigourney Weaver's bizarre appearance, you'll have to wait a few weeks for that one. The opening episode sees Martin realising he needs to change to fix his marriage with Louisa (again), and so decides to go to a therapist. This cannot go well.
Tuesday - Ballers, Sky Atlantic at 10pm
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has already become box office gold, and now he's moving »

"Mission: Impossible" has been captivating audiences with high-octane action sequences ever since the film franchise launched in 1996. From the iconic wire hang in the first film to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge shootout in "M:i 3" to the Burj Khalifa sequence in 2011's "Ghost Protocol," there was a long list of thrilling and original set pieces that Christopher McQuarrie had to live up to when he took on the fifth film in the espionage series. The opera house scene was McQuarrie's answer to that challenge in this year's "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation." Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a a plane 5,000 feet in the air caught the attention of anybody who watched the film's trailer, but it's the elegant and heart-pounding opera sequence that really wowed audiences upon the movie's release. The scene features Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and Benji (Simon Pegg) searching for a suspect at the Vienna Opera House. »

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
In his score for Kingsman: The Secret Service, Henry Jackman wants you to know he's a James Bond fan. He just doesn't want to tell you. Monte Norman's iconic guitar riff pops in and out of his score, and brassy John Barry flourishes pepper the background music of Matthew Vaughn's latest pulpy indulgence. Vaughn and comic book brute Mark Millar's spy thriller struck a chord with audiences in February with gaudy, gory violence and in-jokes to the Ian Fleming novels it draws from. Strangely though, Jackman's half-baked music never follows suit, tiptoeing around its homages rather than fully committing to its Roger Moore era obsessions.
The music of Kingsman wants its both ways, retro while still feeling fresh enough for modern box office, a shared paradox with The Man From U.N.C.L.E., »

Mission Impossible Rogue Nation review: Tom Cruise is back in quite possibly the best film in the series. Action-packed, unrelenting, fun-filled and extremely funny, Rogue Nation delivers in spades. Mission Impossible Rogue Nation review
It could be questioned as to why the world needed another Mission: Impossible movie. Tom Cruise and his mates have been churning out these films since the mid-nineties, and with him now knocking on into his fifties, we have to ask if he's still able to keep up with the best of them.
After securing some pretty major directors for the previous four instalments (Brian De Palma, John Woo, J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird), all stamping their own mark and style on the franchise, number five goes to a former writer turned director (with just two other credits to his name) in Christopher McQuarrie – the man that set the world alight in the mid-nineties with The Usual Suspects. »

BBC Culture has this week unveiled a new list of the top 100 American films, as voted for by a pool of international film critics from across the globe. The format of the poll was that any film that would make the list had to have recieved funding from a Us source, and the directors of the films did not need to be from the USA, nor did the films voted for need to be filmed in the Us.
Critics were asked to submit their top 10 lists, which would try to find the top 100 American films that while "not necessarily the most important, but the greatest on an emotional level". The list, as you may have guessed, is very different to the lists curated by say the BFI or AFI over the years, so there are certainly a few surprises on here, with Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave (2013), Terrence Malick »

First off, let's make one thing clear. We're not scratching our heads at Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" making the BBC's 100 greatest American films. That movie, of which an image accompanies this post, not only made the list, but ranked appropriately at no. 25. It's the rest of the selections that have us scratching and, yes, shaking our heads in disbelief. A wonderful page view driver, these sorts of lists make great fodder for passionate movie fans no matter what their age or part of the world they hail from. There is nothing more entertaining than watching two critics from opposite ends of the globe try to debate whether "The Dark Knight" should have been nominated for best picture or make a list like this. Even in this age of short form content where Vines, Shapchats and Instagram videos have captured viewers attention, movies will continue to inspire because »

Leave it to the Brits to compile a list of the best American films of all-time. BBC Culture has published a list of what it calls "The 100 Greatest American Films", as selected by 62 international film critics in order to "get a global perspective on American film." As BBC Culture notes, the critics polled represent a combination of broadcasters, book authors and reviewers at various newspapers and magazines across the world. As for what makes an American filmc "Any movie that received funding from a U.S. source," BBC Culture's publication states, which is to say the terminology was quite loose, but the list contains a majority of the staples you'd expect to see. Citizen Kane -- what elsec -- comes in at #1, and in typical fashion The Godfather follows at #2. Vertigo, which in 2012 topped Sight & Sound's list of the greatest films of all-time, comes in at #3 on BBC Culture's list. »

Every now and then a major publication or news organisation comes up with a top fifty or one hundred films of all time list - a list which always stirs up debate, discussion and often interesting arguments about the justifications of the list's inclusions, ordering and notable exclusions.
Today it's the turn of BBC Culture who consulted sixty-two international film critics including print reviews, bloggers, broadcasters and film academics to come up with what they consider the one-hundred greatest American films of all time. To qualify, the film had to be made by a U.S. studio or mostly funded by American money.
Usually when a list of this type is done it is by institutes or publications within the United States asking American critics their favourites. This time it's non-American critics born outside the culture what they think are the best representations of that culture. Specifically they were asked »

It may seem unusual for a renowned film director to suddenly switch mediums and helm an opera, but such a thing has happened a number of times before: for example, Woody Allen has directed Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi" for the Los Angeles Opera; legendary Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami has helmed Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutte" for the Aix-en-Provence Festival; Julie Taymor has directed Mozart's "The Magic Flute" for the Metropolitan Opera in New York, as well as the Broadway musical adaptations of "The Lion King" and "Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark"; Roman Polanski has helmed Verdi's "Rigoletto" for the Bavarian State Opera; William Friedkin has directed a version of Alban Berg's "Wozzeck"; and Werner Herzog has helmed a number of Wagner productions including "Doktor Faust," "The Flying Dutchman" and "Parsifal".

Congratulations to Jules O'Dwyer and her loveable border collie Matisse who won Britain's Got Talent last night (May 31). We must admit we came over a tad teary-eyed when Matisse's three-legged collie companion Skippy made his debut in their final act.
Last night's final prompted us to look back at all eight winners from the ITV talent show to see how they faired after their victories.
From Collabro to Pudsey the dog - which acts have had the most success post-bgt? Here's our ranking below:
1. Paul Potts
Paul Potts stunned the judges, audience and viewers of Bgt alike with his breathtaking rendition of 'Nessun Dorma' on the ITV talent show's first run in 2007. His audition became a YouTube sensation and was later confirmed as the fourth most viewed YouTube video in the UK.
Following his transition from Carphone Warehouse salesman to Bgt winner, Potts released his debut album One Chance »

Wielding the biggest movie production-distribution-sales muscle of any film company outside the U.S., Euro film-tv group Studiocanal has boarded Marion Cotillard starrer "From the Land of the Moon" (Mal de Pierres), an upscale period drama produced by Alain Attal's Les Productions du Tresor.
Studiocanal will handle world sales rights to "From the Land of the Moon" and distribute it France, the U.K., Germany, Australia and New Zealand, where it runs direct distribution operations.
Cotillard will play opposite Louis Garrel, a French actor who earned a Cesar nom for his perf in Bertrand Bonello's "Saint Laurent" and made his directorial debut with "Two Friends," which opens at Cannes' Critics Week this year.
Witten by Garcia and Jacques Fieschi ("Yves Saint Laurent") and adapted from Milena Agus' bestseller "Mal de pierres," the post-World War II drama is a portrait of a sensitive and wild-spirited woman torn between the »

Chinese and English-language versions of "Turandot" are set to be the first two movies produced through a new partnership between Canada's Stratagem Entertainment and Chengdu Tianyin Culture Communication Co. (Ctccc). The relationship also involves the establishment of a $200 million production fund, expected to back a slate of six to eight films over a five-year period.
The deal is in addition and separate to Stratagem's recently hatched $800 million deal with China Film Group, New Zealand's Huhu Studios and China Film Co-Production Corp.
Ctccc is a state-owned enterprise backed by the Chengdu city authorities, Sichuan Province and the Old Silk Road Investment Fund.
The Turandot films are based on the legend of Turan-Dokht, written by Haft-Peykar, in which a determined prince has to solve three deadly riddles in order to marry a disdainful princess. It was previously adapted as an opera by Giacomo Puccini.

Besides Natalie Portman and dancer-choreographer Benjamin Millepied, also in the Black Swan cast are Mila Kunis, Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey, and Vincent Cassel. Portman's fellow Best Actress contenders were: Annette Bening for The Kids Are All Right. Michelle Williams for Blue Valentine. Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole. Jennifer Lawrence for Winter's Bone.

Brad Pitt 'Glory Days' costar Nicholas Kallsen Brad Pitt 'Glory Days' costar Nicholas Kallsen dead at 48 Nicholas Kallsen, who was featured opposite Brad Pitt in the short-lived television series Glory Days, has died at age 48 in Thailand according to online reports. Their source is one of Rupert Murdoch's rags, citing a Facebook posting by one of the actor's friends. The cause of death was purportedly – no specific source was provided – a drug overdose.* Aired on Fox in July 1990, Glory Days told the story of four high-school friends whose paths take different directions after graduation. Besides Nicholas Kallsen and Brad Pitt, the show also featured Spike Alexander and Evan Mirand. Glory Days lasted a mere six episodes – two of which directed by former Happy Days actor Anson Williams – before its cancellation.

Daredevil signs off its first season with a new suit and an emotionally satisfying finale. How long's the wait until season 2, again?
With the whole series of Daredevil now available on Netflix, the race is on to reach the ending before someone spoils it for you. But that presents us with a problem. How do we approach reviews? It's not much use speculating about the future of the series when it's available at a moment's notice, but watching the whole thing in one go for a single review is impractical for anyone with a day job and personal relationships to maintain – to say nothing of how difficult it is to critically appraise 12 hours of television if you don't savour the instalments properly.
That's why, instead of traditional reviews, we're trying something new. An episode-by-episode unpicking of the show, looking at its techniques, characters and use of the source material. Call them annotations, »

It's got more marches than "The Music Man," more battle scenes than "La Forza del Destino," and it must set a record for the number of gun shots and bomb detonations in a Broadway musical. If all that noise doesn't inspire an immediate visit to the ear doctor, there's the score by Michael Korie, Amy Powers and Lucy Simon that's guaranteed to require it. If that opening paragraph reads like an overly critical assessment of the new musical "Doctor Zhivago," which opened Monday at the Broadway Theatre in New York, it's nothing compared to the »

Fillip Cornershop Satiediously, vol. 2 (Unheard Universe) Following up on last year's initial Satie volume, Cornershop now delivers a unique reading of Satie's notorious "Vexations," the one-page piece which Satie said should be performed with repeats until it totaled 840 times through the printed text (or perhaps not; debate has raged since its 1949 publication). Cornershop brings the piece in at a monumental 48 hours (more traditional performances of the 840-times length range from 18 to 28 hours).
As I was wondering how Cornershop could achieve such a performance without the aid of caffeine, which in turn would mitigate against his chosen slow tempo, I noticed a splice after the 168th time through and then, in turn, after the 336th. Shortly after the latter, and concurrent with my wife's threat of divorce, I had to stop listening, but a little math revealed to me that 1 through 168 and 169 through 336 were precisely the same length, so it appears »

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) never left Germany but became internationally respected by his peers during his lifetime and a symbol of pure musicianship for future generations. A virtuoso organist, harpsichordist, and violinist/violist who may have also played lute, as a composer his mastery of counterpoint and fugal writing remain unmatched, yet he was also open to the influences of contemporary Italian and French composers.
Born into a highly musical family in Eisenach, Germany, Bach became organist at the Neukirche in Arnstadt in 1703 at the age of 18. His first major appointment was as court organist to Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Weimar, in 1708; six years later the Duke made him Concertmaster. In 1717 Bach became Kapellmeister and music director to the music-loving Prince Leopold of Anhalt in Cöthen, where Bach wrote much of his greatest secular music. Bach's duties switched to writing choral and organ music for use in church services »

I was once in a car accident that wasn't my fault, which happened in a supermarket car park.
When I approached the other driver for her insurance details I was devastated to hear she didn't have insurance.
At the time I was a personal injury solicitor and knew there was a scheme to compensate victims of uninsured drivers.
I started the process of trying to pursue a claim for the damage from this organisation.
The Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) was set up in 1946 as a means of compensating victims of accidents caused by drivers who either weren't insured or can't be found.
The MIB is funded by all UK motor insurers through policy premiums.
It's estimated that between £15 and £30 of each insured driver's annual policy premium's now being contributed this fund.
In accidents involving an uninsured driver, the MIB advises that the accident should be reported to the police within 14 days for claims involving personal injury.
For claims involving damage to property, such as damage to your car, get in touch within five days.
As with all claims for personal injury, your claim to the MIB must be made within three years from the date of the accident.
You might not have to pay an excess depending on when the accident happened.
The rules involving a driver who can't be traced are slightly more troublesome.
The police can sometimes be uninterested in reports of accidents where there's been no injury or the injury was minor but you should still report the accident.
Any claims for damage to property need to be made within nine months from the date of the accident.
If the other driver is untraceable, you may be subject to an excess of £300 if you claim on property damage or significant personal injury.
For more information, read the MIB's section on claims and excess payments.
If after investigating the matter the MIB believe that you were at fault or partially at fault, your claim might be rejected or reduced accordingly.
The MIB won't pay compensation purely because the other driver involved in the accident was uninsured or can't be found.
Similarly, being uninsured when the accident was the fault of an insured driver doesn't prevent you from claiming compensation.
As much as the MIB will help you, there are circumstances where you could be left in the lurch:
In my own case, because the accident was in a supermarket car park – which counts as private land - the damage caused to my car was exempt from the scheme.
I claimed for the majority of repairs from my insurance so I had to pay my excess and lost four years' no claims discount as well.
I was really unlucky to be caught by this exemption as in the vast majority of cases a compensation can be successfully pursued via the MIB, providing their rules are complied with.

As beautiful a dish as it is tasty, loved by my entire family on a Thursday night (and we almost never eat skinless, boneless chicken breats). So good!flag if inappropriate
This was WONDERFUL!! So colorful on the plate and rich tasting with the tomatoes. Definitely liked the Worcestershire, but only used one tablespoon of herbs.flag if inappropriate
My daughter picked this recipe as the first real meal that we cooked together. It came out fabulous! Everyone in the family loved it. It has become a favorite meal.flag if inappropriate
Mediocre - not great, not terrible. Not good enough to make again, for sure. The flavors didn't meld and weren't very striking. It was just chicken, tomatoes and some pan juice to me. Disappointing, as I went to a fair amount of trouble to find tarragon and make my own herbs de Provence and was expecting to be delighted.flag if inappropriate
Very easy to make and delicious! I seasoned chicken and tomatoes w/o measuring salt quantities and I cooked the chicken in the pan, covered because I wanted to cook faster.flag if inappropriate
I made this recipe the other night for my husband and I and we both absolutely loved it! I used smaller Burpee tomatoes and they were perfect (sweet and super falvorful!). Like other reviewers, I used a little less herbes de Provence than the recipe called for. I served it over white rice, and it was delicious! This will definitely be included in the recipe rotation. Oh and the presentation was really nice, I'll definitely be making this for dinner guests as well :)flag if inappropriate
My husband made this for me for dinner and we both loved it! He made small changes as he tends to cook by the seat of his pants but if he can make this, anyone can! What a great summer meal.flag if inappropriate
Really enjoyed this recipe. Like other reviewers, I too used a blend of our late season heirlooms and fresh herbs. I substituted sherry vinegar to finish the sauce and the flavor was fabulous.flag if inappropriate
My husband who doesn't like 'bird' really likes this. We don't have garden tomatoes in Texas at this time - too hot. I used whole tomatoes and it worked fine...the oil can be cut. Used other herbs the first time and that was fine too.flag if inappropriate
This is just OK. Cut the herbes de Provence down to 1 tablespoon, as suggested by some reviews. What is the point of the Worcestershire? I used less than called for, but would leave it out, completely. As some reviewers suggested, I would cut the oven roasting time WAY down-felt it was a waste, using beautiful little tomatoes from my garden-could just as well have been store bought toms. Basil as a substitute for tarragon? I don't think so. I'm sure it tastes fine, using basil, but it's not the same, at all-you've just changed the dish.flag if inappropriate
