Bullpen boosts Redbirds' hopes
St. Louis relievers hurled 13 scoreless innings in the last three games.
ST. LOUIS -- Players whose names don't exactly roll off the tongue are largely responsible for the St. Louis Cardinals' somewhat improbable presence in the NL Central picture.
The rotation has been horrible and the offense has been spotty. But the bullpen -- featuring the likes of Ryan Franklin, Russ Springer and assorted other under-the-radar types -- has been consistently reliable with a 3.70 ERA that contrasts with the rotation's ugly 5.50 ERA.
The bullpen reeled off 13 scoreless innings in the last three games of a weekend series against the division-leading Brewers, keeping the situation from worsening and allowing them to rally from deficits of six and five runs. The opposition was 4-for-41, all singles for an .098 average.
"We had to eat up a few innings the last few days, but we kept through it and I'm really proud of how we came back at the end," Franklin said. "We've been pretty solid, but to step up against Milwaukee, it's just huge for us."
Without the bullpen putting up zero after zero, the defending World Series champions likely would be out of the race and perhaps preparing for a sell-off on the non-waiver trade deadline today. Instead, they're six games back of the fast-sliding Brewers and 5 behind the second-place Cubs entering a six-game trip that starts today with the first of three games in Pittsburgh.
The Cardinals are four games below .500 at 49-53 for the first time since July 5, and have won three in a row for the first time since June 3 to 6. St. Louis trailed by 10 1/2 games at the end of June.
The anchor is closer Jason Isringhausen, who has 20 saves in 22 chances and a 1.35 ERA. The rest are more transient types, toiling with lower-end contracts, although Franklin's sterling work as the setup man (1.27 ERA) earned him a two-year contract extension in midseason.
The Cardinals spent a lot more money on their regulars and the rotation, with a lot more uneven results. Chris Carpenter made one start before season-ending elbow reconstruction; Mark Mulder is still rehabbing from rotator cuff surgery last September; Scott Rolen has only six home runs, and Jim Edmonds has been slow to come around from offseason surgery on his shoulder and foot.
The rotation is populated with former relievers and down-on-their-luck veterans. It all came together, at least for one weekend, with Anthony Reyes ending a 12-game losing streak, the offense batting .395 with runners in scoring position the last three games with Rolen getting two game-tying hits, and the bullpen tying it all together.
"We plug in a hot starting rotation and our chance to win gets serious," manager Tony La Russa said. "The rotation gets hot and the rest of it stays in there, we can have some fun."
Springer, Randy Flores, Franklin and Isringhausen shut the door on the Brewers on Sunday after Kip Wells gave up five runs in five innings, giving the offense time to rally. Brian Falkenborg, Troy Percival and Springer did the honors Saturday after the Brewers took a 6-0 lead against Brad Thompson after three innings.
The group has been durable, too. Springer, who tied his career high with his fifth win Saturday, has appeared in 47 games and has 46 strikeouts. Franklin, who had been in contention for a starting job in spring training, allowed a hit in 1 2/3 innings Sunday.
"Most of us have been relievers for a while and Franklin is trying to learn the best he can, and we try to help him out," Springer said. "The rest of us know it's a grind and we know what it takes to prepare ourselves to throw every day, and that comes into play."
But they've got to keep it up, with 60 games to go and two teams to catch.
"We need to go into Pittsburgh and start playing better baseball and have a good trip, or we're going to end up right back where we started," Rolen said.

Prince Harry has shown he's serious about girlfriend Cressida Bonas by hugging her on a Swiss ski slope in front of the world's paparazzi.
Top-selling British tabloid The Sun told readers: "Harry is like a dog with a Bonas".
Photographs of the 28-year-old prince hugging the 24-year-old model and dance student graced the front page of every tabloid in England on Thursday.
The Daily Star labelled him "Flirty Harry".
The Daily Express's royal correspondent said Prince Harry had declared his love for Bonas "in an unprecedented public display of affection".
It would inevitably evoke memories of the first pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton skiing together in Switzerland, the royal watcher wrote.
It's the first time Prince Harry has been spotted in such an embrace since splitting with former flame Chelsy Davy in 2010.
Prince Harry was first linked with Bonas in mid-2012.
But in August it was reported she'd dumped the third-in-line to the royal throne following his nude antics in Las Vegas.
Some suggested she felt humiliated following the release of naked pictures of Prince Harry partying with other women in Sin City.
Wednesday's ski-slope hug followed a more private display of affection at an up-market restaurant in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier.
"Cressida climbed on to Harry's knee," a fellow diner told The Sun.
"He started softly rubbing her hair then they began kissing.
"It was quite passionate - much more than a peck on the lips."
Prince Harry returned to Britain in late January after a 20-week deployment in Afghanistan in which he acknowledged he'd targeted Taliban fighters from the cockpit of his Apache attack helicopter.

A Williston man has been charged with lewd and lascivious molestation on a two-year-old girl while his girlfriend was charged with neglect of a child.
Alexander Merida, 32, and Christina Morales, 28, were arrested Nov. 20 after an investigator with the Department of Children and Families was called to their residents on NE 48 Street.
According to the sheriff's office, the investigator noticed injuries to the child's face and scheduled a medical examination the following day. The sheriff's office was brought into the case following the exam.
Morales began dating Merida eight months ago. Prior to Merida living at the residence, a 15-year-old reported to Morales that Merida was bathing the child and she heard a noise that sounded like the child being slapped, according to the sheriff's report.
Morales was at work at the time, but she asked Merida about the injuries when she returned home. Merida denied any involvement. She allowed Merida to move into the residence and care for the children while she worked the night shift, the report stated.
Detective Roger Bell observed obvious marks on the victim's face from the nose to her right ear. At first, Morales said the girl was injured in a fight over a toy with her three-year-old brother. After questioning Morales admitted that about three weeks ago the child defecated on the carpet and for punishment Merida rubbed the child's face in the carpet the same way one might discipline a puppy for an accident.
When Morales was questioned about scars on the child's buttocks and feet, she said the children were playing in the yard and they came in the house with dirty feet. Morales asked her son to take his sister in the bathroom and take a bath. According to Morales, her son turned on only hot water and the scalding water burned the two-year-old. Morales said she heard the baby screaming and removed her from the bathtub. Morales allegedly told authorities she neglected to provide any medical service for the two injuries because she knew that DCF would remove her children from the residence.
Upon a further medical examination, the child had bruising and marks inside her inner thigh area and also a bite mark or suck type marks around the navel area. Through an interpreter Merida told deputies he placed his mouth in the above areas and sucked hard enough to cause bruising. Merida was arrested for lewd and lascivious molestation on a two-year-old child and more charges will be filed at a later date. Merida is not a U.S. citizen.
Morales bond is $25,000 and Merida's bond is $100,000.

Porex Corporation ("Porex"), a proven market leader and innovator in porous media solutions for the healthcare markets, will showcase the unique Alteco LPS Adsorber medical device at MD&M West 2014 in Anaheim, CA, February 11th–13th, booth 1759.
Alteco LPS Adsorber (Photo: Business Wire)
"Porex strives to create innovative solutions that solve the specific challenges of our healthcare customers," said William Midgette, President and Chief Executive Officer of Porex. "Our research scientists and engineers are dedicated to delivering breakthrough innovations that provide next generation performance for our customer's products."
Alteco LPS Adsorber
The Alteco® LPS Adsorber is a unique medical device for extracorporeal removal of endotoxin during hemoperfusion. The biotechnology of the product is based on a synthetic tailor-made peptide that selectively and irreversibly binds several times the endotoxin load found in patients with severe sepsis. The peptide covers the surface of a porous polymer matrix, specially designed to provide an optimal surface for the peptide rather than act as a filter.
"Sepsis causes more deaths each year than prostate cancer, breast cancer and HIV/AIDS combined," said Jonas Jönmark, President of Alteco Medical AB. "Experts believe that sepsis is actually responsible for most deaths attributed to HIV/AIDS, malaria, pneumonia and other infections acquired in the community, in healthcare settings or by traumatic injury."
About Porex Corporation
Founded in 1961 and based in Fairburn, GA, Porex is a pioneer and global leader in the development and manufacturing of sintered porous polymer products. The Company primarily serves the healthcare and bioscience markets. Porex products serve filtering, venting, wicking, and diffusing functions in applications, such as arterial syringe vents, dialysis filters, and porous components for drug delivery devices.
About Ateco Medical AB
Alteco Medical AB is a Swedish company in the medical technology field.
The company was established in 2002, in Lund. Alteco Medical AB has developed a unique extracorporeal product - the Alteco® LPS Adsorber for use within the sepsis area. The product is based on an innovative, patented, technology.
The Board of Directors of Alteco Medical AB have many years of experience in successfully building and growing international medical companies.

Audio: Panic as JetBlue Airbus develops mechanical failure in air
JohnThomas Didymus
Jun 21, 2012 in
Las Vegas
- A JetBlue flight from Las Vegas to New York Sunday, developed mechanical failure that sent the plane careening wildly in the skies for four hours. The 155 people on board the flight panicked as the A320 lurched from side to side and took steep turns.

According to the
The New York Post
, Travis McGhie, a passenger, said the plane lurched from side to side, took steep turns after its hydraulic system failed. McGhie said: "It was four hours of hell."
The New York Post
reports that one of the pilots declared an emergency and radioed Las Vegas controllers, saying: "[We are dealing with] quite a few things, but the initial thing is... we've lost two hydraulic systems."
Daily Mail
reports that the plane was carrying fuel for a five hours' flight. But because the A320 is incapable of dumping fuel the plane had to circle in the skies in an area south of the Vegas Strip till the engines had burned enough fuel to allow for safe landing. According to
The New York Post
, some passengers "got a little freaked," and a few were vomiting.
Fox News
reports that John Ware, a passenger on the flight, said the experience was the scariest of his life. He said he heard the pilot screaming during the landing "Brace! Brace! Brace!"
Ware said he turned to his wife and said to her, "I will love you forever."
Daily Mail
reports that another passenger Tom Mizer, told
The New York Post
, "People were getting sick. Some people were throwing up. There were a lot of people getting nauseous."
Some of the passengers said that the crew members of Flight 94 did everything they could to prevent panic. One attendant walked down the aisles trying to calm people down. She made heroic efforts to reassure the passengers, saying, "Look at me, I'm smiling. If I was scared, you would know it. If I'm not scared, you don't need to be."'
Daily Mail
reports that McGhie said there was no screaming but "there were definitely people reacting out loud." He said: "The plane kind of felt out of control. It wasn't able to balance itself, and the air was choppy."
McGhie and Mizier said they realized that the plane had a fault soon after it took off from Las Vegas airport. Tom Mizer said, "You could hear a screeching - an obvious mechanical screeching. We were bouncing around a lot." He added: "People on board got a little freaked. People were upset. Nobody was crazy, but everyone was upset. It became a long, sort of very tense waiting game."
According to the
Daily Mail
, the plane returned to and landed at Las Vegas' McCarran Airport at 7.37 p.m. It had to be towed to the gate because the front wheels had stopped working.
Another plane was found to take the passengers to JFK.
Fox News
reports that an Airbus manual said a double hydraulic failure was "improbable in operation." Airbus has enough backup systems that ensure that passengers are not in serious danger. An expert said: "Even if everything failed, there would have been a way to manually land the aircraft."
Daily Mail
reports that David Learmount, operations and safety editor of Flightglobal website, said: "It sounds as if the auto-pilot tripped out which puts flying completely in the pilots' hands. If there is also natural turbulence at the same time, it doesn't help with regards to making passengers nervous. The hydraulic system can stop working because of the failure of a hydraulic pump or a leakage of fluid.The pilots would have been warned if this had happened and it can happen very suddenly."
According to Learmount, it is normal for pilots to keep a plane in the air and use up some of the fuel to allow for safe landing. He said: "This is standard procedure on all planes, no matter what the emergency."
According to
Fox News
, JetBlue confirmed the incident and the FAA is investigating. JetBlue said in a statement: "JetBlue takes all incidences seriously, and the safety of our customers and crew members is our No. 1 priority.The actions the crew took in response to this event truly represent who we are and our core value - safety."

Raiders quarterback Bruce Gradkowski has a separated shoulder and will apparently miss the rest of the season.
16 comments, Last at 01 Dec 2010, 5:45pm by AudacityOfHoops
On to the Jason Campbell-Kyle Boller debate!
Given that Jason Campbell is a better (as these things go) quarterback, this is probably addition by subtraction. Gradkowski was useless out there.
Amen. Campbell might at least be average. Gradkowski is the best worst qb ever.
I don't think he is a bad QB. I think of Gradkowski as Ryan Fitzpatrick Lite. He's a player who can scramble a bit, take reasonable risks downfield, and can make decisions under pressure. He also has mediocre arm strength like Fitzpatrick. I see Campbell as someone who folds under pressure against teams with a good pass rush (ie: Pittsburgh), and thus pretty unlikely to lead you in a playoff run. I think this is why Cable and the coaches preferred him to Campbell.
I think this means that Cable gets to keep his job, since he won't be able to overrule Al's QB pick anymore.
No problem j. Campbell bettrr qb. Raiders still going to grrt to 9-7 or 10-6, take afx west and beat Ny jets or NE Payes wild card round. Goinng to be greaf fun to fivision totle
If the Raiders make the playoffs and bump off the Jets, I will take back all the bad things I said about them in '01 and '02.

The present invention relates to furnaces for the treatment of minerals and in particular relates to rotary hearth furnaces.
In the reductive thermal coal treatment of metallic minerals containing metal oxides, the use of rotary hearth furnaces is known. Such furnaces generally consist of an annular chamber having the bottom wall, the so-called rotary hearth, rotating relative to the remainder of the chamber, a plurality of burners being disposed on the side walls and on the top wall of the furnace. Pellets consisting of the mineral containing the metal oxide which is to be treated mixed with coal are usually introduced into the furnace and deposited on the rotary hearth, in order to favor the evolution of CO, which is the effective reducing agent. The heat supplied by the burners allows the heterogeneous coal/mineral mixture to reach the right temperature for the reduction reaction.
The furnaces constructed in this way have nevertheless disadvantages, both from the point of view of the economics of the operation and from the point of view of the environmental impact. On the one hand, the reaction of reducing the metal oxides with C, or rather CO, is in fact endothermic and therefore attains the best efficiency levels at elevated temperatures; Therefore, a good process yield involves a significant energy consumption which inevitably increases the operating costs.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the interior of the furnace chamber is rich in CO and produces a discharge gas with high pollution potential; consequently, the environmental impact of the thermal coal treatment in question is rather great.
In EP-A-0 508 166 is described a rotary hearth furnace in which the waste gases are transferred from a first zone of the chamber downstream of the feeder means and upstream of the gas extraction means, with respect to the direction of rotation of the hearth, into a second zone upstream of the material discharge means and downstream of the gas extraction means, through an air-gas burner. The first zone is separated from the other parts of the chamber by a curtain that only allows the passage of the mineral on the surface of the rotary hearth. However, the flow rate of gases from the first zone to the second zone can't be regulated. Morever, the combustion of such gases in the second zone is not carried out as a diffused combustion, and this can affect the efficiency of the process.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a rotary hearth furnace which allows a lowering of both the energy costs and the pollution level of the discharges produced, in order to make the operation more advantageous economically and at the same time much more compatible from the environmental point of view. The furnace according to the present invention will also overcome the disadvantages of the above described furnace, providing means for the regulation of flow rate of gases and allowing the diffused combustion of the same.
The subject of the present invention is therefore a rotary hearth furnace for the treatment of minerals, comprising an annular chamber provided with feeder means and discharge means for the material, disposed adjacent one to another in a certain sector of the said chamber, a plurality of burners arranged all along the annular chamber on the side walls and on the top wall thereof, means for extracting the discharge gases, and means for transferring the gases from a first zone of the chamber downstream of the feeder means and upstream of the gas extraction means, with respect to the direction of rotation of said hearth, into a second zone upstream of the material discharge means and downstream of the gas extraction means, characterized in that said means for transferring are means for the forced conveying of the gases by suction at said first zone and by pressure delivery at this second zone, said means being provided with means for regulating the said forced conveying.
Further advantages and features will be evident from the following detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a diagrammatic partially broken plan view of a rotary hearth furnace according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 shows a sectional view along the line II--II of the furnace illustrated in FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 is partial sectional enlarged view along the line III--III of the furnace illustrated in FIG. 1.
In FIG. 1, a rotary hearth furnace according to the invention is illustrated. The annular chamber 1 of the furnace is formed by a top 201 and two side walls 101 and a hearth 301 which rotates, owing to drive means not illustrated in the figure and not described in more detail, in the direction indicated by the arrow F. The chamber 1 is provided with a plurality of burners 111 disposed on the side walls 101 and a plurality of burners 211 disposed on its top 201. The furnace provides for means of feeding the material, which comprise a transporter belt 4 and a loading hopper 104 as well as, in the position adjacent to said feeder means, means for discharging the minerals reduced in the furnace, comprising a screw 5, a hopper 205 and a transporter belt 105. These discharge means are disposed in such a way that they are reached by the material which has completed the entire rotation of the chamber 1 on the hearth 301. At the two extremities of inlet into and exit from the chamber 1, placed respectively downstream of the mineral feeder means and upstream of the mineral discharge means, two ports 106 and 206 are located which are linked by a U-shaped conduit 6. The conduit 6 has two annular collectors 306 arranged coaxially thereto and provided with a plurality of nozzles 316 which open into said conduit 6. In a position about 90� downstream of the mineral feeder means is disposed the port 103, which communicates with the conduit 3 for extracting the discharge gases from the furnace.
A view of a part of the furnace of FIG. 1 is illustrated in FIG. 2, in section along the line II--II. The same numerals correspond to the same parts in the two figures. The two walls disposed transversely in the interior of the chamber 1, namely the wall 401 downstream of the feeder means 4, 104 and the wall 501 upstream of the discharge means 5, 105, 205 can be seen in the figure. The two walls almost completely cut off the free space of the chamber 1, except for a small opening towards the hearth 301, on which the layer of mineral 10 is deposited by the hopper 104. From the opposite part, the screw 5 withdraws the reduced mineral 11 and throws it off again into the hopper 205. In the figure, are also shown two inlet ducts 326 connected to the annular collectors 306, and each provided with a flow rate regulating means, that is in this case the valve 336.
In FIG. 3 the cooperation between the conduit 6 and the annular collectors 306 is shown in more detail. The nozzles 316 can deliver their charge inside the conduit 6 through the openings 406 formed on the inner surface of the conduit 6.
The operation of the rotary hearth furnace according to the present invention will be clear from the following. The material 10, comprising the mineral which is to be treated mixed with the appropriate quantity of coal is carried to the hopper 104 by the belt 4, and is deposited as a thin and homogeneous layer on the hearth 301 by the hopper. At the inlet to the chamber 1, the material 10 is heated by the burners 111; under these conditions, the coal evolves CO and CO2 and, in this way, the reaction of reducing the metal oxide contained in the mineral is initiated. The gas produced in the first tract of the chamber 1 of the rotary hearth furnace is then at a high CO concentration; on the one hand, this high concentration promotes the development of the reduction reaction but, on the other hand, makes the extraction of the gases produced critical.
In the furnace according to the invention, the suction of the gases through the port 106, owing to the nozzles 316 of the annular collectors 306, which by feeding gas in general and/or also air into the system in a controlled manner due to the regulating means 336, make it possible to effect the forced conveying of the gases between the two zones, overcoming the pressure difference between these and the pressure drop in the conduit 6 itself across the conduit 6, and subsequently it occurs the pressure delivery of such gases again through the port 206 into the tract upstream of the discharge means 5, 105, 205. In this way, gas of high energy content is delivered to this tract of the chamber 1, thus allowing the elevated temperature in the chamber to be maintained with significant fuel saving. Moreover, this novel combustion of the gas withdrawn from the first tract of the chamber guarantees a lower pollution level of the discharges issuing from the extraction conduit 3.
The gases that reach the said second zone of the chamber of the furnace can then carry out a diffused combustion, which is much more effective for the overall yield of the process.
In the figures, only a single suction zone of the gas produced in the chamber and a single pressure delivery zone are illustrated. Nevertheless, still within the same inventive concept, a rotary hearth furnace can be considered which provides for more suction ports at diverse points of the furnace and more gas pressure delivery ports.

Although even a cursory glance at a newspaper reveals some new incident of corporate malfeasance-predatory lending, shady deals between private defense contractors and the government, industrial pollution-Columbia Business School professor Heal argues that "there is a cost to anti-social corporate behavior." Heal points out that the most pernicious lenders have gone bankrupt; a defense contractor executive has been fired; and corporations can generate higher profits and more social good if they can align their interests with society The book presents case studies of corporations "doing well by doing good" (Toyota, British Petroleum, Starbucks) and surprisingly diverse and effective economic incentives for business people and organizations to act responsibly. Useful sections delineate the challenges-and rewards-of ethical outsourcing and clarify the important distinctions between genuine social responsibility and the public relations techniques that masquerade as philanthropy. Readers conversant in economics will find a wealth of fascinating analysis, whether or not they agree with the author's optimistic middle ground between unfettered capitalism and intrusive regulation.

Stories of predatory lending practices and the reckless destruction of the environment by greedy corporations dominate the news, suggesting that, in business, ethics and profit are incompatible pursuits. Yet some of the worst lenders are now bankrupt, and Toyota has enjoyed phenomenal success by positioning itself as the green car company par excellence. These trends suggest that antisocial corporate behavior has its costs, especially in terms of the stock market, which penalizes companies that have poor environmental track records and rewards more socially conscious brands.
The political context of our economy is rapidly changing, particularly in regard to incentives that operate outside the marketplace in a strict and narrow sense and involve interactions between corporations and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), activist groups, regulatory bodies, consumers, and civil society. These interactions can significantly color a corporation's alternatives, making socially or environmentally harmful behavior much less attractive. British Petroleum, for example, has voluntarily reduced its greenhouse gas emissions over the past ten years, Starbucks, has changed the environmental impact of its coffee production, and Nike and other footwear and textile makers now monitor the labor conditions of their subcontractors.
When Principles Pay jumps headfirst into this engaging and vital issue, asking whether profit maximization and the generation of value for shareholders is compatible with policies that support social and environmental goals. Geoffrey Heal presents a comprehensive examination of how social and environmental performance affects a corporation's profitability and how the stock market reacts to a firm's social and environmental behavior. He looks at socially responsible investment (SRI), reviewing the evolution of the SRI industry and the quality of its returns. He also draws on studies conducted in a wide range of industries, from financials and pharmaceuticals to Wal-Mart and Monsanto, and focuses on the actions of corporations in poor countries. In conclusion, Heal analyzes how social and environmental performance fits into accounting and corporate strategy, presenting an executive perspective on the best way to develop and implement these aspects of a corporation's behavior.
