The cubic capacity, or cc, of an engine is figured by multiplying 0.7854 by the cylinder bore squared times the crankshaft stroke times the number of cylinders, according to Burton Power. The cylinder bore is the diameter of the cylinder, while the crankshaft stroke is the distance the cylinder travels.Know More
For example, one engine has four cylinders each with a bore of 8.1 centimeters with a stroke of 7.76 centimeters. The formula is 0.7854 times 8.1 times 8.1 times 7.76 times 4. This produces a product of 1,599.5 cc. The volume of cylinders is measured with special burettes filled with paraffin.Learn more about Algebra
Primary causes of engine cylinder misfires include loss of compression, an unbalanced air or fuel ratio, a loss of spark and a malfunctioning fuel injector. The misfire occurs as a result of a partial combustion process occurring inside one of the cylinders. When incomplete combustion occurs, the driver experiences a jerking action within the engine.Full Answer >
Engine oil capacity is the recommended amount of oil an engine should have, according to HowStuffWorks. Overfilling the engine with oil can lead to oil spreading to other parts of the car. An engine without enough oil is prone to overheating due to a lack of lubrication.Full Answer >
Consumers can find a vehicle's oil capacity in the owner's manual, on the manufacturer's website, on a specialty website, or by using the dipstick, states HowStuffWorks. Most vehicle manuals include the oil capacity with and without an oil filter.Full Answer >
Every vehicle has a different engine-oil capacity. The best way to find out your car's specific oil capacity is to consult the owner's manual. In the manual, there is a specific section that discusses the vehicle specifications, as well as the lubrication system of your car.Full Answer >

By Nadia R. on April 20, 2012
Did You Know? Interesting Facts about the Earth that need to end!
The garbage in a landfill stays for about 30 years.
Each person throws away approximately four pounds of garbage every day.
One bus carries as many people as 40 cars!
More than 1/3 of all energy is used by people at home.
Most families throw away about 88 pounds of plastic every year.
We each use about 12,000 gallons of water every year 1/3 of all water is used to flush the toilet.
Each gallon of fuel releases 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air.
Approximately 5 million tons of oil produced in the world each ear ends up in the ocean.
The energy we save when we recycle one glass bottle is enough to light a traditional light bulb for four hours.
For every 2000 pounds of paper (1 ton) recycled, we save 7,000 gallons of water free from chemicals.
Recycled paper requires 64% less energy than making paper from virgin wood pulp, and can save many trees.

Almost 1,000 schools in England are offering girls oral contraception without the knowledge of their parents.
The pills are even being given to girls as young as 11 as part of the government's drive to keep teen pregnancy rates down, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph.
The news provoked an outburst from the Family Education Trust's director, Norman Wells, who claimed that making oral contraception more accessible does not help reduce the rate of unwanted pregnancies.
"Research shows making the morning-after pill more readily available doesn't make the slightest difference to unintended pregnancy and abortion rates," he said.
"In fact there's evidence it may be making matters worse. Confidential school clinics enable boys to put even more pressure on girls to have sex as Mum needn't know anything about it."
Meanwhile AFP reports that the Vatican has claimed the contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and may be partially responsible for male infertility.

This invention relates to a support for lithographic printing plates, and more particularly to an improved aluminum alloy support for lithographic printing plates.
A lithographic printing plate widely used at present is generally prepared by applying printing plate-making treatments such as image exposure, development, washing, lacquering, etc., to a so-called "presensitized printing plate (PS plate)" prepared by coating a photo-sensitive composition on an aluminum plate the surface of which is subjected to a graining treatment. By image exposure, a difference in solubility for a developer in the subsequent development is formed between the exposed areas and the unexposed areas of the layer of the foregoing photo-sensitive composition and then either the exposed areas or unexposed areas of the photosensitive composition layer are dissolved off or peeled off by the subsequent development process while leaving other areas of the layer on the aluminum plate to form an image. The image areas, i.e., the areas composed of the remaining photosensitive composition layer are ink receptive while in the non-image areas the hydrophilic aluminum support surface is exposed by the removal of the photosensitive composition layer as described above and hence the non-image areas are water receptive.
Accordingly, a dampening or fountain solution (water or an aqueous solution) is supplied to the surface of the plate having both the foregoing areas, whereby the film of the dampening solution is retained at the non-image areas, an ink is applied to the image areas, and by repeating the step of transferring the ink applied to the image areas directly or indirectly (i.e., after temporarily transferring the ink onto a blanket) onto the surface of a paper, printing is performed.
In such a printing system, by suitably selecting a photosensitive composition coated on a support, it is possible to obtain a printing plate capable of providing more than 100,000 good copies from one printing plate. However, in the present situation of printing industries, a printing plate capable of printing further increased copies is demanded and further by the reasons of the reduction of the cost for printing plate and simplification of printing operation, it has been keenly desired to obtain more copies by the same printing plate, i.e., to improve the press life of a printing plate.
With a lithographic printing plate using aluminum as the support, a so-called burning-in process is employed as a means of improving the press life. That is, a method of heating, to a high temperature, a lithographic printing plate prepared by image exposing and developing a photosensitive printing plate by ordinary manners, whereby the composition forming the image areas is hardened by heat to strengthen the image areas is effective and has generally been employed. In this case the heating temperature and the heating time for the burning-in process usually depend upon the composition forming the image but are generally about 200° to 280° C. and about 3 to 7 minutes, respectively. However, even in the burning-in process, it has been desired to perform the process at a higher temperature and for a shorter operation time for further improving the press life of the printing plate and for further shortening the operation time.
On the other hand, an aluminum plate used as a support for lithographic printing plates is prepared by subjecting an aluminum alloy such as AA1050, AA1100, AA3003, etc., to an ordinary continuous casting to form an ingot of the aluminum alloy, applying hot rolling, cold rolling, and, if necessary, heat treatment in processing the ingot of the aluminum alloy to form a plate or a web of the aluminum alloy, graining the surface thereof a mechanical method, a chemical method, an electrochemical method or by a composition of these methods, and further, if desired, anodically oxidizing the grained plate or web.
However, an aluminum alloy plate composed of the aluminum alloy as described above conventionally used for the aforesaid purpose causes a recrystallization phenomenon of aluminum when the aluminum alloy plate is heated to a temperature of higher than 280° C., thereby greatly reducing the strength of the plate and losing firmness of the plate. Therefore, when such an aluminum plate is used as a support for lithographic printing plates, there are problems in that handling of the printing plate is very difficult. For example, it becomes impossible to mount the printing plate on a printing cylinder of a press, and it is impossible to make resistering the printing plate in the case of multicolor printing.
A primary object of this invention is to provide an aluminum alloy plate which is resistant to heat softening and hardly reduces the excellent printing properties of a conventional aluminum support for lithographic printing plates.
That is, according to this invention, there is provided a support for lithographic printing plates comprising a plate of an aluminum alloy containing 0.02 to 0.20% by weight zirconium, said aluminum alloy causing no recrystallization phenomenon at temperatures lower than 320° C. It is more desirable that the surface of the support of this invention is grained and anodically oxidized.
In the aluminum alloy used in this invention, it is preferred that the aluminum base metal used has a purity of 99.50% by weight or higher.
Impurities which may be contained in the base metal include small amounts of iron, silicon, etc., and further a slight amount of other impurities such as manganese, copper, titanium, etc. Iron is preferably contained in an amount of 0.40% by weight or less and silicon preferably in an amount of 0.20% by weight or less, based on the weight of the alloy. (Throughout the specification, content in the alloy is represented based on the weight of the alloy). Manganese, copper, titanium or other impurities are preferably contained in an amount of 0.05% by weight or less. The characteristic component in the aluminum alloy of this invention is zirconium and the content thereof is preferably 0.02 to 0.20% by weight, more preferably 0.03 to 0.18% by weight. If the content of zirconium is less than 0.02% by weight, the effect of improving the heat softening property of the aluminum alloy plate is insufficient, while if the content of zirconijm is more than 0.20% by weight, the heat softening property is further improved but the crystal texture of the aluminum plate becomes non-uniform which reduces the printability of the printing plate.
Also, iron has an effect of preventing the crystals of aluminum from becoming finer and the recrystallizing crystals from growing larger but if the content of iron in the aluminum alloy of this invention is more than 0.40% by weight, the size of iron compounds formed at casting becomes large, which results in reducing the printability of the printing plate. Furthermore, if the content of silicon in the aluminum alloy of this invention is more than 0.20% by weight, the effect of improving the heat softening property of the aluminum plate by the incorporation of zirconium is reduced and hence it is preferred that the content of silicon be 0.20% by weight or less.
An aluminum alloy plate used in this invention may be prepared according to the known processes for obtaining aluminum alloy plate. The processes are described, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 39325/73, Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 25207/79 (the term "OPI" as used herein refers to a "published unexamined Japanese patent application") and Yanagisawa et al. "Light Metals" 6.68-75 (1956).
A representative process for obtaining the aluminium alloy plate is as follows.
An aluminum alloy plate as a support for lithographic printing plates of this invention is prepared from the foregoing aluminum alloy by, for example, the following manner. That is, after grinding the surface of the DC (direct casting) ingot of the aluminum alloy as when using a conventional aluminum alloy, e.g., AA1050, AA1100, etc., the aluminum alloy ingot is treated in a soaking pit at ordinary temperature and subjected to hot rolling and then cold rolling to form a plate of the aluminum alloy having a proper thickness. The plate thus cold rolled is subjected to process annealing and, according to the working extent in the previous step, is further subjected to cold rolling for adjusting the properties to desired ones to provide the aluminum alloy plate.
The aluminum alloy plate thus prepared is roughened or grained by an electrochemical graining method of graining the plate. Their method may be carried out in an electrolyte such as an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution or an aqueous nitric acid solution while passing an electric current through the solution. The graining may also be carried out by a wire brush graining method of scratching the surface of the aluminum alloy plate with a metal wire, a ball graining method of graining the surface of the aluminum alloy plate by abrasive balls and abrasives, and a brush graining method of graining the surface of the aluminum alloy plate by a nylon brush and abrasives. The aforesaid graining methods may be used solely or in combination.
The aluminum alloy plate thus grained is then chemically etched by an acid or an alkali. When an acid is used as the etchant, it takes a very long period of time to collapse the fine structure and hence the application of etching with an acid solution is disadvantageous but the disadvantage can be decreased by using an alkali as the etchant.
Examples of the alkaline etchant preferably used for making the aluminum alloy support of theis invention are sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium aluminate, sodium metasilicate, sodium phosphate, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc. The concentration of the alkali in the etchant is 1 to 50 g/m2 and the temperature of the etchant is 20 to 100° C. These conditions are so selected so that the dissolved amount of aluminum becomes 5 to 20 g/m2.
After alkali etching, the aluminum alloy plate is pickled in order to remove smut remaining on the surface thereof. For pickling, an acid such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, chromic acid, hydrofluoric acid, borofluoric acid, etc., is used.
Also, for the removal of smut after the electro-chemical graining treatment, it is preferred to use the method of treating the surface with a sulfuric solution of 15 to 65% by weight sulfuric acid at a temperature of 50° to 90° C. as described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 12,739/78 (the term "OPI" indicates an unexamined published patent application open to public inspection) or the method of performing alkali etching as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 28,123/73.
The aluminum alloy plate thus treated as described above may be used as a support for lithographic printing plates and may be further subjected to an anodical oxidation treatment, a chemical treatment, etc.
The anodical oxidation treatment can be performed by a method conventionally employed in this field. That is, by passing a direct current or alternating current through the aluminum plate in an aqueous solution of a non-aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, chromic acid, oxalic acid, sulfamic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, etc., solely or as a mixture of them, an anodically oxidized film or layer can be formed on the surface of the aluminum plate.
The treatment conditions for the anodic oxidation depend upon the kind of the electrolyte used, but in general, it is proper that the concentration of the electrolyte is 1 to 80% by weight, the temperature of the solution is 5° to 70° C., the current density is 0.5 to 60 amperes/dm2, the voltage is 1 to 100 volts, and the electrolytic time is 10 to 100 sec.
Among these anodic oxidation treatments, the method of performing the anodic oxidation in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution at a high current density used in the invention described in U.K. Pat. No. 1,412,768 and the method of performing the anodic oxidation using an aqueous phosphoric acid solution as the electriolytic bath described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,661 are particularly preferred.
The anodically oxidized aluminum alloy plate can be further treated by a method of immersing in an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate such as sodium silicate as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,714,066 and 3,181,461 or a subbing layer of a hydrophilic cellulose (e.g., carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.,) containing a water-soluble metal salt (e.g., zinc acetate, etc.,) may be formed on the surface of the anodically oxidized aluminum alloy plate as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,860,426.
A photosensitive lithographic printing plate can be prepared by forming a photosensitive layer on the support for the lithographic printing plate of this invention and a printing plate obtained by subjecting the photosensitive lithographic printing plate to printing plate-making treatments has excellent properties.
Examples of the composition for the foregoing photosensitive layer are as follows:
(1) Photosensitive compositions composed of a diazo resin and a binder:
Preferred diazo resins are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,063,631 and 2,667,415; Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 48,001/74; 45,322/74; and 45,323/74; U.K. Pat. No. 1,312,925, etc., and preferred binders are described in U.K. Pat. Nos. 1,350,521 and 1,460,978; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,123,276; 3,751,257; 3,660,097, etc.
(2) Photosensitive compositions composed of an o-quinonediazide compound:
Particularly preferred o-quinonediazide compounds are o-naphthoquinonediazide compounds as described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,766,118; 2,767,092; 2,772,972; 2,859,112; 2,907,665; 3,046,110; 3,046,111; 3,046,115; 3,046,118; 3,046,119; 3,046,120; 3,046,121; 3,046,122; 3,046,123; 3,061,430; 3,102,809; 3,106,465; 3,635,709; and 3,647,443.
(3) Photosensitive compositions composed of an acid compound and a binder (high molecular compound):
Examples include compositions composed of azide compounds and a water-soluble or alkali-soluble high molecular compound described in U.K. Pat. Nos. 1,235,281 and 1,495,861 and Japanese patent application (OPI) Nos. 32,331/76; 36,128/76, etc., and compositions composed of a polymer having an azide group and a high molecular compound as a binder described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) Nos. 5102/75; 84,302/75; 84,303/75 and 12,984/78.
(4) Other photosensitive compositions:
Examples of other photosensitive compositions used for photosensitive lithographic printing plates include compositions containing the polyester compounds described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 96,696/77; compositions containing the polyvinyl cinnamate resins described in U.K. Pat. Nos. 1,112,277; 1,313,390; 1,341,004; 1,377,747, etc.; and compositions containing the photopolymerizable type photopolymers described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,072,528 and 4,072,527.
These photosensitive compositions may contain proper additives. For example, there are cyclic acid anhydrides as sensitizers for increasing the sensitivity of the photosensitive compositions, dyes as printing out agents for forming visible images immediately after image exposure, fillers for image areas, and coloring agents for coloring the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive printing plate.
A coating liquid for the photosensitive composition layer is prepared by adding a mixture of the foregoing proper components to an organic solvent. The concentration of the coating liquid is 2 to 50% by weight as solid components. The coating liquid is coated on the aluminum alloy support described above by a desired coating means, such as, a roll coating method, a reverse roll coating method, a gravure coating method, an air knife coating method, etc. The coating amount of the composition is about 0.1 to 7.0 g/m2 as solid components, preferably about 0.5 to 4.0 g/m2. After coating, the coated layer is dried in an ordinary manner. The photosensitive lithographic printing plate is, if necessary, cut into a proper size.
The photosensitive printing plate (original plate) thus prepared is imagewise exposed and developed in contact with a developer, in more detail, by dipping the plate in a developer or by supplying a developer onto the plate by spraying, etc. The developer used for developing the photo-sensitive printing plate is specific to each photosensitive composition described above and since practical developers are shown in the patent specifications described hereinbefore in regard to the photosensitive compositions the developer corresponding to each composition may be employed.
With positive-working composition the exposed portions are removed at development and with negative-working composition the non-image portions are removed at development. Thus, according to the purposes, a positive-working composition or a negative-working composition may be properly selected.
After development, the printing plate is, if desired, subjected to proper post treatment.
A post treatment which has the most intimate relation with this invention is a burning-in process for strengthening the image portions of the photosensitive composition layer. A burning-in process is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 6205/77 (corresponding to Canadian Pat. No. 1,084,758) and No. 34,001/76 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,294,910); Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 28,062/80 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,507) and 3938/82; U.S. Pat. No. 4,191,570, etc. Fundamentally, in a burning-in process, the developed printing plate is placed in an atmosphere of 150° C. to 350° C. to harden the image portions of the photosensitive composition layer of the plate by burning. In this case it is preferred to supply an aqueous solution of boric acid, a borate, an anionic surface active agent, or a compound having other specific chemical structure onto the surface of the plate. By the treatment, various troubles caused by the burning-in process can be prevented. The burning temperature is related to the burning treatment time and the burning effect desired and the burning-in process can be performed at a temperature of 180° C. to 300° C. when the treatment time is about 3 to 10 minutes.
The aluminum alloy support of this invention can sufficiently endure such a severe burning-in process. That is, when the printing plate having the aluminum alloy support of this invention is subjected to the burning-in process, the support can stably maintain the original properties and the printing plate shows very high printing power.
The invention will now be explained in more detail by the following examples, in which all percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated. However, this invention is not limited to these specific examples.
Each of three kinds of aluminum DC ingots shown in Table 1 was subjected to a homogenizing treatment at 560° C. for 6 hours and then subjected to hot rolling and the cold rolling to form a plate of 1.5 mm in thickness. The plate was then subjected to process annealing for one hour at 400° C. and then subjected to final cold rolling to form a plate 0.3 mm thick. The chemical compositions of the three kinds of aluminum alloys used in the experiments are shown in Table 1.

Each of the rolled plates of these aluminum alloys was grained in a suspension of pumice in water using a rotary nylon brush and etched using an aqueous solution of 20% sodium hydroxide so that the dissolved amount of aluminum became 5 g/m2. After sufficiently washing the plate with running water, the plate was pickled with an aqueous 25% nitric acid solution and washed with water to provide each base plate. The base plate thus prepared was electrolyzed by alternating current in an electrolyte containing 0.5 to 2.5% nitric acid at a current density above 20 A/dm2 as described in Japanese Patent Application (OPI) No. 146,234/79. Thereafter, the plate was immersed in an aqueous solution of 15% sulfuric acid at 50° C. for 3 minutes to clean the surface of the plate and then anodically oxidized in an electrolyte containing 20% sulfuric acid as the main component at 30° C. to form an oxide layer of 3 g/ m2.
On each of the samples thus prepared was formed a photosensitive layer having the following composition with a dry coating amount of 2.5 g/m2.
______________________________________Ester compound of naphthoquinone-1.2- 0.75 gdiazido-5-sulfonyl chloride with pyrogallol-acetone resin (described in theexample of U.S. Pat.

After exposing each of the photosensitive lithographic printing plates thus prepared in a contact relation of a transparent positive to a PS light (trade name, sold by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., having a metal halide lamp, MU2000-2-OL type of 3 KW, made by Toshiba Corporation, as a light source) for 30 seconds from a distance of 1 meter, the printing plate was developed in an aqueous solution of 5% by weight sodium silicate for about one minute. Then, after washing the plate with water, the developed plate was treated with a sponge impregnated with an aqueous solution of 4% by weight potassium borate for preventing the occurrence of stains at the background portion in a burning-in process followed by squeezing to coat the solution as uniformly as possible.
The printing plate thus treated was dried and heated by means of a burning processor 1300 [having a heat source of 12 KW, sold by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.] to temperatures of 260° C., 280° C., 300° C. or 320° C. for 7 minutes. After cooling, the 0.2% yield strength of each of the printing plates burn treated at 260° C. to 320° C. was measured by a tensile test. The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________0.2% Yield strength (kg/mm2)Aluminum Normal 260° C. 280° C. 300° C. 320° C.alloy temp.

Normal temperature means that the sample was not subjected to burning-in process.
As shown in the table, the materials A and B of this invention has high yield strength at high temperatures and strong finness as compared to comparison material C and the printing plates using the aluminum alloy plates of this invention can be readily handled.
Also, when each of the printing plates was mounted on an offset printing machine and printing was performed, good prints without stains at non-image areas and without spot-like stains were obtained when using the aluminum alloy plates of this invention as the supports. The press life of each printing plate during printing is shown in Table 3.

Each of the aluminum alloys as used in Example 1 was subjected to the surface treatment as in Example 1 and a printing plate was prepared by the same procedure as in Example 1. Each of the printing plates was heated by means of a burning processor 1300 at a temperature of 260° C., 280° C., 300° C., or 320° C. for one minute.
After cooling, the 0.2% yield strength of each of the printing plates thus subjected to the burning-in process at 260° C. to 320° C. was measured by a tension test. The results are shown in Table 4.

As shown above, the materials A and B of this invention have very high yield strength and strongth buckling resistance at high-temperature treatment for a short period of time as compared to comparison sample C and the printing plates using the aluminum alloy plates A and B of this invention can be readily handled.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.

Hi I'm Sabrina. When my husband (his name is Colin) and I, travel we always try to experience a town as a local would; by using public transit, walking, and we prefer staying in apartments or houses over hotels. We do not smoke, and don't have any pets but love animals and could take care of your animals or plants while staying in your home.
We've stayed in a number of Airbnb locations, and will take care of your house with the utmost care and respect.

Westboro Baptist Church's latest target: Late Aurora soldier Sean Durkin
The virulent homophobes (and anti-semites) of Westboro Baptist Church will supposedly begin protesting at various locations around our area on Thursday -- if they actually turn up, that is. They were no-shows at a Boulder gay-marriage debate in January, for example.
Let's hope they also fail to spew bile at the funeral of Sgt. Sean M. Durkin of Aurora, who died last week from injuries sustained in Afghanistan in March. Durkin, who will reportedly be buried next to his father in Pennsylvania (where hopefully they won't be able to find him), is among eight soldiers targeted by the WBC in a news release about a Sunday event that concludes, "We've turned America over to the fags; They're coming home in body bags." Read it below:
WBC observes WEEK 982 of protests against public sodomy at Gage Park, April 18. WBC's Gospel message, ("Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination." Leviticus 18:22) is America's only hope. We're determined the nation shall hear. God's Command: "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression." Isa. 58:1. "Show" = get in their faces; make it crystal clear. America's sin is that of Sodom: societal acceptance/respect for a soul-damning, nation-dooming "gay" lifestyle. America is "deeply (irreversibly) corrupt." Hos. 9:9; 2 Chrs. 36:16. WBC's Commission: "Son of man, cause (America) to know her abominations." Ezek. 16:2.
Thank God for 8 more dead troops.
We are praying for 8,000 more.
We will picket their funerals in their home towns in respectful and lawful proximity thereto.
Here is a Roster of the Damned:
Maj. Randell D. Voas of Lakeville, MN
Senior Master Sgt. James B. Lackey of Green Clove Springs, FL
1st Lt. Robert W. Collins of Tyrone, GA
Pfc. William A. Blount of Petal, MS
Sgt. Roberto E. Diaz Borio of Sun Juan, Puerto Rico
Sgt. Sean M. Durkin of Aurora, CO
Spc. Joseph T. Caron of Tacoma, WA
Cpl. Michael D. Jankiewicz of Ramsey, NJ

Earthjustice Errs (Again) on Alito
Yesterday Judge Alito was asked about his opinion in the Magnesium Elektron case. Earthjustice did not like Judge Alito's decision in the case (as I discussed here). In a new release, Earthjusitce continues its patern of misrepresenting the holding of the case, in which the Third Circuit found environmental plaintiffs lacked standing because they failed to provide any evidence of any adverse environmental impact resulting from a companies violations of the Clean Water Act. "Unless people can prove they are sick from drinking the water, citizens are going to have a tough time protecting waters that they use and care about from industrial pollution if Alito is confirmed," commented Joan Mulhern, a senior legislative counsel at Earthjustice. "Effectively, what Judge Alito is saying is: don't drink the water." This is wrong. The opinion does not hold that the plaintiffs have to "prove they are sick" from pollution. All they had to show was some impact on the water — any impact at all — from the illegal pollution. A tiny, yet measurable, increase in contaminant levels in the water would have been sufficient, yet they showed none at all. All three judges on the panel believed this was insufficient for purposes of standing under then-prevailing Supreme Court precedent. The only dispute was whether the plaintiffs should get another chance to provide additional evidence. Environmental activists are correct that this aspect of the decision has been overruled by the Supreme Court's decision in Friends of the Earth v. Laidlaw, but even under that case it is unlikely the Magnesium Elektron plaintiffs would have standing, as they failed to allege any connection to the area most likely to be effected by the illegal discharges, instead relying upon their interest in portions of the Delaware River, miles downstream. Earthjsutice errs further by claiming that Magnesium Elektron "relates directly" to the two Clean Water Act cases the Supreme Court will hear in February. This too is false, as standing is not an issue in either of the two cases. Nor is Earthjustice's characterisation of the issues in these cases accurate. Alas, this sort of thing has become par for the course.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Helps Manage Systems for Gaia Mission
By Scott Mcneil-Oracle on Jan 30, 2014
The Italian National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) has selected Oracle to store, analyze and manage scientific data generated from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission. The mission sets out to provide in-depth 3-D mapping of the Milky Way galaxy over the course of the next 5 years. An estimated 1 petabyte of astronomical data (equivalent to 1 million gigabytes) will be collected and stored in Oracle Database with Oracle Enterprise Manager entrusted to manage the system.
The goal of the Gaia mission will give researchers a better understanding into how the Milky Way was formed and how it has evolved over time. According to Roberto Morbidelli, Scientific Operation Manager at INAF, "Our activity within the Gaia mission will provide a huge volume of information, a very precious heritage of astronomical data that will have to be stored for the whole 21st century and beyond. Oracle has demonstrated in other research contexts that it would be the ideal technological partner to manage scientific projects of this kind of size. Thus we are sure that it will be a successful choice for INAF too. Oracle has been selected for its technology's reliability, scalability, availability and the appropriate technological evolution planned in the next years; also key was the competence showed by Oracle experts in the development of features useful to our research."
Oracle Enterprise Manager will be deployed to help manage the multiple Oracle Database instances and Oracle Real Application Clusters. Oracle Enterprise Manager will be used to ensure reliable access to Gaia mission data, allowing for numerous third-party applications and systems that control and verify the correct functioning of satellites and astronomical instruments.
"We are proud to offer our technology to the Gaia mission, an international research project that is of both major importance and high ambition," said Xavier Verhaeghe, Vice President, Technology & Big Data Oracle EMEA. "INAF's choice is another confirmation of Oracle's ability to easily manage the extreme challenges involved in processing petabytes of Big Data."

Announcing: Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Delivers Advanced Self-Service Automation for Oracle Database 12c Multitenant
By Scott Mcneil-Oracle on Nov 04, 2013
New Self-Service Driven Provisioning of Pluggable Databases
Today Oracle announced new capabilities that support managing the full lifecycle of pluggable database as a service in Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Release 3 (184.108.40.206). This latest release builds on the existing capabilities to provide advanced automation for deploying database as a service using Oracle Database 12c Multitenant option. It takes it one step further by offering pluggable database as a service through Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c self-service portal providing customers with fast provisioning of database cloud services with minimal time and effort.
This is a significant addition to Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c's existing portfolio of cloud services that includes infrastructure as a service, database as a service, testing as a service, and Java platform as a service. The solution provides a self-service mechanism to provision pluggable databases allowing users to request and access database(s) on-demand. The self-service operations are also enabled through REST APIs allowing customers to integrate with third-party automation systems or their custom enterprise portals.
To understand how pluggable database as a service works, watch this quick demo:

Schema as a Service for Extreme Consolidation
By Scott Mcneil-Oracle on Mar 08, 2013
As we deal with Database as a Service use cases, we often find that consumers do not need dedicated databases of their own. Developers of a home-grown application, for example, might be satisfied with a logical slice of the database. This logical slice, leads us to the concept of Schema as a Service—a new capability offered in the latest release of Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Release 2 Plug-in Update 1.
Schema as a service is the ultimate and extreme in consolidating multiple schemas in a shared database model. Cloud users can request one or more schemas, with or without seed data, from Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c's out-of-the-box self service portal. It offers excellent manageability, not only for its fast efficient provisioning, but because administrators only need to manage a small number of databases.
However, consolidation comes at the expense of isolation, because the operating system and database are not isolated among the database consumers. While enabling Schema as a Service, it's important to isolate the workloads as much as possible to make sure that one user doesn't run away with all the database resources. Administrators can guarantee this does not happen by using Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c's CPU monitoring capabilities built in to Oracle Database Resource Manager to maintain service levels.
For security, the more consolidated you get, the more concerns administrators have about data isolation and security. Using Oracle Data Vault can help resolve these issues. It is integrated with Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c, and administrators can use Oracle Data Vault to enable fine grain control based on roles and privileges within the database cloud service.
For reporting purposes, metering and chargeback capabilities can be implemented to help IT organizations gain in-depth visibility into resource consumption and expenses incurred with each schema as a service deployment. This is useful for regulatory compliance requirements as well.

3. Request Settings

I would rip out my heart to be inside your dress
Undertaker princess
I would sacrifice myself to your kiss of death
But what's the use in saying "I love you"?
When i know you'll only break my heart
Every day to you i'm on my knees
Shake your black tambourine
Dead girl in wonderland
It feels so beautiful in your cold arms
Dead girl in wonderland
I never want to leave
Please let me stay for ever and ever
But i won't ever tell you i love you
Cos i know you'll only break my heart
Every day my wicked queen
I'm begging please shake your black tambourine

Free Google turn-by-turn GPS coming to iPhone
Google has revealed details of its upcoming free turn-by-turn Google Maps Navigation, and has said it plans to bring the app to the iPhone. The new application will offer common Google Maps features, including the ability to search by name of business and traffic data, as well as new features like voice-assisted turn-by-turn navigation, integration with Satellite and Street View, and the ability to search along the selected route for upcoming points of interest like gas stations and restaurants.
The application will launch with Android 2.0 on the Motorola Droid, which will be available on Verizon on November 6, and will be featured on other upcoming GPS-capable Android 2.0 devices. Google's Vice President of Engineering, Vic Gundotra, also confirmed that the company is currently working with Apple to bring the application to the iPhone, but noted that the process is different than the normal App Store submission process, because Maps is a built-in iPhone application. No preliminary launch date was mentioned for the iPhone version.

You will need a data connection for this to work properly, form my understanding.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 11:54 AM (CDT)
The app also caches your route on the phone in case there is a drop out in connection. That's better than just straight streaming of the maps.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 12:40 PM (CDT)
requiring a data connection makes this a no-go for me. i'm often without so much as EDGE in some of the areas i'm traveling to. ah well.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 12:54 PM (CDT)
yeah, while this is awesome, I'm not sure it's a complete replacement for a stand-alone 1.3gb gps app…but it will definitely remove a large portion of the market for the existing apps.
hopefully the navigon and tomtom find a way to compete and differentiate themselves.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 12:57 PM (CDT)
Finally some good competition with excellent features for some of the other overpriced gps stuff. (TomTom)
Glad it's coming to iPhone too, thanks google.
Android shaping up nicely, a little competition for apple is good. Force them to roll out some real updates, instead of holding back.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 1:05 PM (CDT)
I'm am so THANKFUL that I did not drop $80 on any of the navigation apps. This is exactly what I have been waiting for.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 1:11 PM (CDT)
I agree with most other people who have written here: I am SO glad I didn't drop a bunch of money on a turn-by-turn GPS application that cost $80+. Hopefully the above post is right, that the app downloads the route onto your phone so a data connection is not required.
The lack of consistent data from AT&T in the U.S. brings up an another point: how soon can we get a 4G iPhone on a reliable Verizon netowrk so I don't have to worry about a data connection?
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 1:50 PM (CDT)
TomTom and Navigon can still compete - the ability to use it offline is a compelling feature. It's just not compelling enough to spend $100. I'll wait for this to come out to make my final judgement, but if TomTom released theirs for $39.99, I'd probably bite.
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 2:03 PM (CDT)
I will be happy once this actually get APPROVED by AT&T and Apple… I see another battle heating up…
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 2:52 PM (CDT)
My experience: I now own the Navigon app after using with the ATT app where you must have a signal, and all I can say is, even in Los Angeles there are many very long "moments" where the GPS signal was dropped and the ATT service was useless if you had to get somewhere on a schedule. It worked flawlessly most of the time, but not always.
Since I bought the Navigon app ($69 at the time), it has never, not once, made an error and often times chooses a better route even when I know the area. It is astounding in its performance. I think the Google app looks fabulous, but I would worry if I were in areas where the signal is questionable at times even with some of the info cached. This said, it may be more an issue on ATT than on Verizon!
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 3:17 PM (CDT)
Surely a data/phone connection is only required if it is downloading the map data in real time (as when you launch the standard Maps app)
But if Google will let you download a full map to permanently store on the iPhone, no signal is required during the journey - just the GPS signal.
How much space will the maps take? Well the UK only maps for Tom Tom fit on a 128mb memory card, so could Google do the same? with regular map updates when you sync?
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 6:49 PM (CDT)
I'm shocked that Google is even considering bringing any cutting edge app to the iPhone with all the drama happening between them and Apple.
Not that I'm complaining. Thanks Google!
Of course, they could just be saying it knowing Apple's going to reject it anyways…
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 6:50 PM (CDT)
WooW! ... I've read this news two days ago and was shocked and did not believe it. Now I read it on iLounge and I'm just woowww,.. it must be true. and free too??? TomTom and all the others are probably pissed, lol. goog job google! and thanks… thanks two those two guys who started google in a garage ..
Posted by Charles Starrett on October 28, 2009 at 9:33 PM (CDT)
Wow, the other GPS vendors are so f'ed.
I like my other GPS devices even. I've got a built-in one in my car, I've got the Navigon app on my iPhone, and my wife has a Tom Tom. But I can already see just from the preview video on Google's website that this is better than any of them in very significant ways. And this is just v1. And its FREE!
Most GPS units make it difficult for you to find things you're looking for. Want to find a 7-11? Well, first you have to know what category to look for 7-11's in. Is it Shopping? Or Convenience Store. Some 7-11's are listed under both, so you have to guess which category the one you're looking for is listed under. Then of course you have to know that it's actually 7-ELEVEN. It won't correct you. You just won't find anything. Then of course it won't show you things that are near your route, you just have to guess, maybe by looking at the destination map to see if its anywhere near the highway you're on.
In the future this will change everything. We'll finally get the connected GPS stuff that the Dash tried to be. Everybody will be using this, and all their speed and location data will be aggregated by Google in real time. And instead of the crappy hours inaccurate traffic data by that 511 service ("speeds are between zero and fourty miles per hour") you'll actually get good traffic data. Oh my god that would be worth real money!
I'll download this for the iPhone the minute its available and try it out. If its as good or better than the Navigon unit, I'll punt that like a hot potato despite the fact that I paid for it. Goodbye stale POI data (Hertz lot near San Diego airport moved two years ago Navigon!). Hello Google Maps!

it looks like google turn by turn will be the perfect complement to tom tom. While I definitely prefer tom tom for its local storage maps, I can definitely see google maps as a viable alternative if all I'm trying to do is to find an address downtown and never leave the 3G coverage area, and leave the tom tom for routes that require going through areas with little to no cell signal…
and besides, don't we all like to "punish" the 3G network by making it work when we don't have to? I like downloading music/podcasts/apps off of 3G just so I can feel like I've got my money's worth for the $30/month I spend on data…
and I don't know what people are complaining about 3G coverage. I used to get no 3G in my house, and now, I get consistent 5 bars 3G in my house 95% of the time. I don't think I've seen the Edge symbol in ages…

Iphone users should be charged a fee when google nav app comes to iphone. What is google thinking?

"the process is different than the normal App Store submission process, because Maps is a built-in iPhone application."
Why don't they just shoot you with a tranquilizer gun, tag your ear and release you?
