First Chapter
'What Liberal Media?'
Published: March 16, 2003
(Page 3 of 3)
Coulter's view of the U.S. media can be summed up as follows: "American journalists commit mass murder without facing the ultimate penalty, I think they are retarded." In the New York Observer, published in one of the two cities attacked on 9/11, Coulter joked about how wonderful it would have been if Timothy McVeigh had blown up the New York Times building and murdered all of its inhabitants. Apparently nothing-not even the evocation, serious or not, of the mass murder of journalists-could turn Coulter's love affair with the SCLM sour.
For such comments, she is celebrated and rewarded. While promoting Slander, Coulter was booked on Today, Crossfire (as both a guest and guest host), Hardball, The Big Story with John Gibson, and countless other cable and radio programs. She was lovingly profiled in Newsday, the New York Observer, and the New York Times Sunday Styles page, while also enjoying a seat at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner as a guest of the Boston Globe. She was even invited on ABC's Good Morning America as an election analyst in November 2002. In the Wall Street Journal-a newspaper that had actually been destroyed by terrorists, and whose reporter, Daniel Pearl, had been murdered by them-Melik Kaylan defended her comments in Coulter-like fashion. He argued, "We have been programmed to think that such impassioned outrage, and outrageousness, are permissible only on the left from counter-culture comedians or exponents of identity politics." He also compared Coulter's alleged "humor" to that of Lenny Bruce, Angela Davis, and the Black Panthers. Too bad, therefore, as Charles Pierce pointed out, the conservative media darling has yet to be "arrested and jailed for what she said (Lenny Bruce), prosecuted in federal court (Angela Davis), or shot to ribbons in her bed (the Black Panthers)."
Bernard Goldberg's book Bias suffers from many of the same weaknesses as Coulter's, though he lacks her colorful flair for murderous invective. Still Bias proved a smashing success. The New York Times's publishing columnist, Martin Arnold, termed its sales to be "the most astonishing publishing event in the last 12 months." Indeed, with its publisher claiming more than 440,000 copies in print, the book's sales figures alone are taken by many to be evidence of the truth of its argument. In many ways, the conservative side was hardly better served in its arguments by Goldberg than by Coulter. To those who do not already share Goldberg's biases, his many undocumented, exaggerated assertions have the flavor of self-parody rather than reasoned argument. Among these are such statements as: "Everybody to the right of Lenin is a 'right-winger' as far as media elites are concerned." Opposition to the flat tax, he claims, comes from the same "dark region that produces envy and the seemingly unquenchable liberal need to wage class warfare." Roughly 72 of the 232 pages of Bias are devoted to attacks or score-settling with Dan Rather, whom Goldberg believes to have ruined his career. "If CBS News were a prison instead of a journalistic enterprise, three-quarters of the producers and 100 percent of the vice-presidents would be Dan's bitches," Goldberg says. Much of the rest of Bias consists of blasts at unnamed liberals who are accused of exaggerating data and manipulating the truth for their own purposes. How strange, therefore, that Goldberg seeks to make his case with statements about: "America's ten-trillion-page tax code," tuition fees that are "about the same as the cost of the space shuttle," and Laurence Tribe's "ten million" appearances on CBS News during the 1980s.
Taking the conservative ideology of wealthy white male victimization to hitherto-unimagined heights, Goldberg employs an extended Mafia metaphor to describe his departure from CBS.

(1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to ceramic fibers useful for insulation and reinforcement purposes and more particularly relates to nonoxide fibers suitable for these uses.
(2) History of the Prior Art
Ceramic fibers have been used for an extended period of time in the prior art for various purposes including insulation and, to some extent, reinforcement. An example of such a fiber that might be considered ceramic is the naturally occurring asbestos fiber which has now fallen into disfavor because of health problems. In addition, for long periods of time, alumina, silica, and alumina silicate fibers have been manufactured for various uses, including reinforcement, insulation and as fillers. Such oxygen containing fibers do not, however, have the properties desired for certain high performance applications. In particular, such oxide type fibers often do not have coefficients of thermal expansion which are as close as desirable to the matrix material which is being reinforced and usually do not have heat resistance as high as desirable for very high temperature performance applications. In addition, corrosion resistance of oxide fibers is often not as good as desirable in certain environments such as molten metals. Furthermore, many oxides do not have an elastic modulus as high as desirable for stiffening in reinforcement applications. Examples of such oxide type fibers may be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,071,594; 4,250,131; 3,808,015 and 3,992,498.
Such oxide fibers in the prior art have generally been manufactured by melt spinning or blowing or by drawing of a precursor material, sometimes with included oxide powders, which is then often converted to an alumina material. Such methods have not generally been found applicable, to this point, to very high temperature nonoxide ceramics. Such very high temperature nonoxide ceramics tend not to melt at manageable temperatures and in fact tend to decompose or sublime prior to melting. Attempts have also been made to make nonoxide ceramic fibers by means of precursors, e.g. as taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,529,044; 4,117,057 and 4,158,687. Such fibers have not, however, been as good as desirable since such precursors tend to leave large amounts of substances, e.g. oxygen, in the fibers which are often detrimental to their properties often reducing strength, temperature resistance and chemical resistance.
Attempts have, nevertheless, been made to utilize nonoxide ceramic materials for high temperature insulation or for high performance reinforcement. An example of such a reinforcing material is silicon carbide whiskers which have been considered by some to fall within the general description of a fiber. Such whiskers are, in fact, believed to be single elongated crystals which are difficult to manufacture, even by batch methods, and are very costly. In addition, the diameters and lengths of such whiskers which can be manufactured are exceedingly restricted. Other attempts to manufacture nonoxide ceramic fibers have not usually been highly successful since materials are generally incorporated into the fiber which do not have high performance characteristics.
There is therefore a need for a high performance nonoxide ceramic fiber of high purity which can be manufactured, desirably continuously, to various specifications including cross sectional shape and length. It would be desirable to have such a fiber which is stable, both chemically and physically, in an inert atmosphere at temperatures of 1700° C. and higher and stable even in air at temperatures of 1500° C. and higher.
Furthermore, ceramic fibers manufactured in the prior art are typically difficult to handle, especially when it is desired to utilize such fibers for formation of textile fabrics. It is therefore desirable to have a method and a product which will permit woven products to be developed which contain nonoxide ceramic fibers.
A particularly interesting prior art patent is U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,191 which describes forming a fiber by hydrostatically pressing a ceramic powder as a core in a hollow polymer fiber. The disadvantages of such a process are clear, i.e. difficulty in getting the powder into the core, hydrostatic processing requirement and expense. In addition, the fiber would not be expected to have a high cross sectional aspect ratio to obtain improved bending resistance in the direction of the long cross sectional axis. Additionally, the fiber of this Pat. No. 4,559,191 would not be expected to have a smooth surface, which is desirable to reduce defects. This is true because it is generally known that isopressed sintered articles have rougher surfaces than drawn or extruded sintered articles. "Smooth" as used herein therefore means smoother than the surface of an isopressed article made of the same material and shape. Such "smooth" articles, when large enough, generally are characterized by a surface which does not scatter light and thus reflect light brightly, i.e. the surface shows gloss and usually will reflect images. The "rough" surface of a sintered isopressed article, on the other hand, tends to have a dull finish resulting from light scatter. "Smooth" is, however, not intended to exclude cross sections which are not circular or eliptical. Surfaces which have a relatively uniform cross section along their longitudinal axis can reflect light, uniformly from their surfaces, e.g. star-shaped cross sections.
In accordance with the invention, there is therefore provided a high temperature, preferably polycrystalline, ceramic fiber having a selectable diameter of between 1 and 200 microns. The fiber is stable in an inert atmosphere at a temperature above about 1700° C. and is often stable even in air at a temperature above 1500° C. The fiber comprises a sintered ceramic powder having a maximum particle size less than the diameter of the fiber and an average particle size less than 0.2 times the diameter of the fiber. The ceramic powder is also stable in an inert atmosphere at a temperature above about 1700° C. At least 90% of the ceramic is selected from borides, nitrides, carbides, and silicides. The fiber is characterized by a smooth surface, as opposed to the rough surface which usually results from isopressing. The fiber preferably has a high cross sectional aspect ratio and is out of round for increased stiffening in reinforcement. The fiber also desirably has an indented surface for better bonding.
The fiber and its preparation is particularly unexpected since prior to the present invention it could not have been predicted that an article having such characteristics and such a small cross-sectional dimension could have been sintered from a nonoxide ceramic powder.
The invention further comprises a textilable sinterable filament, i.e. machine weavable, spinnable and knittable, comprising a flexible polymer matrix containing high temperature sinterable ceramic powder particles. The average particle size of the particles is less than 0.15 times the diameter of the sinterable filament and is preferably submicron. The ceramic powder particles are selected from ceramic borides, nitrides, carbides, and silicides. The diameter of the filament is from 2 to 300 microns. The invention also comprises the method wherein the high temperature ceramic fiber is prepared by sintering the textilable sinterable filament as previously described and includes composites containing such filaments.
FIGS. 1-6 show photomicrographs of fibers prepared in accordance with the present invention.
As previously discussed, it has now been unexpectedly found that nonoxide ceramic fibers having a diameter of between 1 and 200 microns can be sintered from uncoated nonoxide ceramic powders. The fiber usually comprises a boride, carbide, nitride or silicide of a different element, i.e. other than silicon when the compound is a silicide, and boron when the compound is a boride selected from aluminum, boron, chromium, hafnium, molybdenum, niobium, silicon, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, vanadium and zirconium.
Suitable ceramic powders, for example, may be the powders selected from the ceramics of the group B4 C, HfC, NbC, SiC, TaC, VC, WC, ZrC, CrB2, HfB2, NbB2, TaB2, TiB2, VB, WB, ZrB2, AlN, HfN, NbN, Si3 N4, TaN, TiN, VN, ZrN, Mo5 Si3, MoSi2 and ZrSi and mixtures thereof.
Particularly desirable ceramics for use in accordance with the present invention are titanium diboride (TiB2), silicon carbide (SiC), and boron carbide (B4 C). These materials have been found to be sinterable in accordance with the requirements of the present invention with the addition of minimal amounts of sintering aids and furthermore all of these materials are stable at temperatures in excess of 2200° C. The fibers in accordance with the invention can therefore consist essentially of non-oxide ceramic materials, i.e. almost always greater than 90% and preferably greater than 95% non-oxides. The performance of the sintered fibers of the invention is therefore not significantly affected by oxide phases, as was the case with prior art non-oxide ceramic fibers which were prepared by other means, e.g. by use of precursors.
The sintering methods are similar to those described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,286 except for the presence of the flexible polymer matrix. The polymer matrix may comprise any suitable polymer including phenolics, polyolefins, polyhalogenated olefins including polyvinylchloride, or any other polymer which is free from atoms which will tend to decompose the ceramic material at elevated temperatures. The resin must be capable of itself decomposing at sintering temperature or below to form volatile products or in some cases to form a small percentage of residual carbon which may aid the sintering process. Specific desirable polyolefins are polyethylene and polypropylene. Sintering aids which are included in the composition forming the textilable fibers are such sintering aids as are known to those skilled in the art. Such sintering aids, exclusive of carbon, which is usually at least partly provided by the polymer and other organic compounds in a system and sometimes also at least partly provided by submicron carbon powder, are those sintering aids for the particular ceramic known to those skilled in the art. When the ceramic powder is silicon carbide, a particularly desirable sintering aid is boron carbide which is usually present in an amount of from 0.2 to 1 percent by weight of the silicon carbide powder.
The average particle size of the particles is less than 0.15 times the diameter of the textilable sinterable filament and is preferably submicron. When the sinterable filament is in fact sintered, the diameter of the filament usually becomes less, i.e. a volume shrinkage of 40 to 60%, in which case the starting average particle size of the powder is usually less than 0.2 times the diameter of the finished sintered filament.
The sinterable filament and the composition forming it desirably contain from about 75 to about 95 weight percent of ceramic powders and from about 5 to about 25 weight percent organic compounds including the polymers. The organic portion of the composition forming the sinterable filament includes not only the polymers but any other organic materials which are desirable including lubricants such as oleic acid, petroleum jelly, surfactants such as dioctylphthalate, oils such as corn oil, dimethylformamide which acts as a polymer solvent and tetraethylhexal- titanate which acts as a dispersion aid. The composition as above described with respect to the filaments is exclusive of diluents utilized in the system to form the sinterable filament. Such diluents can include a number of organic compounds such as ethanol, acetone, oils, and volatile hydrocarbons such as toluene and hexane.
The sinterable filaments may be formed by melt spinning or suspension spinning as subsequently described.
In melt spinning, the silicon carbide, sintering aids, and organic compounds including polymers, plasticizers, and dispersants are melt blended. The blended components are then desirably pelletized and the pellets are melt spun by extrusion. The resulting continuous sinterable filaments are collected.
In the case of suspension spinning, the silicon carbide powder and sintering aids are milled or mixed with the organic constituents with sufficient diluent to form a suspension. The resulting suspension is then spun and dried. The resulting fiber is then sintered. Sinterable filaments may also be made in random sizes by blowing or by centrifugal spinning. In this case, the components are blended together in a manner similar to suspension spinning except that the resulting blend is utilized in an apparatus for blowing filaments or in a centrifugal spinner.
The sinterable filaments of the present invention are generally textilable and may be fabricated into woven or felted products or may be utilized to form thicker yarns. The filaments may either be sintered before they are fabricated or may be sintered subsequent to fabrication of other products. The sintering temperature for the ceramic powder usually ranges between 1700° and 3000° C. depending upon the system and when the ceramic is silicon carbide the sintering temperature more specifically usually ranges between 2000° and about 2300° C. The sintering time is usually from 0.2 to 90 minutes and usually from 0.5 to 20 minutes. The sintered product may optionally be coated with graphite or another lubricant to assist in handling. The resulting sintered filaments, when conditions are properly controlled, can have tensile strengths in excess of 100,000 psi (689 MPa) and preferably in excess of 175,000 psi (1,200 MPa). Desirably, the fibers may have a modulus of elasticity in excess of 25 million psi (172 GPa) and preferably in excess of 50 million psi (345 GPa). For example, in comparison, the modulus of elasticity of silicon carbide has been reported to be about 55 million psi (318 GPa), of titanium diboride about 76 million psi (524 GPa), and of boron carbide about 65 million psi (448 GPa). The finished fiber diameter is desirably between 10 and 150 microns. The fibers of the present invention may be used for reinforcing in other structural materials, such as metals, ceramics, glasses, glass ceramics and polymers. The fiber usually comprises a boride, carbide, nitride or silicide of a different element selected from aluminum, boron, chromium, hafnium, molybdenum, niobium, silicon, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, vanadium and zirconium.
Such fibers often have high cross sectional average aspect ratios, e.g. at least 1.3:1 (largest cross sectional dimension divided by smallest cross sectional dimension through the center of the large dimension) and the fiber usually has a roundness of greater than 1.15 and preferably greater than 1.5. Such fibers have a greater resistance to bending in the direction of the longer cross sectional dimension.
"Roundness" as used herein means the area of the fiber divided into the calculated area of the fiber if it were assumed that the fiber were a perfect circle. The calculated area is determined based upon the measured perimeter of the fiber. The roundness can be readily determined by the formula P2 /4πA where P is the measured perimeter and A is the measured cross sectional area. The fiber surface is usually indented which permits better surface bonding within a matrix. A greater roundness number, indicates increased deviation from a circle.
The filaments of the present invention are particularly desirable since a particular nonoxide ceramic can be selected to obtain a desirable coefficient of thermal expansion to match a material being reinforced. In addition, numerous such nonoxide ceramics have good corrosion resistance in contact with molten metals which is not obtainable with oxide type ceramic materials. The fibers have excellent heat resistance when an appropriate ceramic material is selected which may be in excess of 1700° C. in an inert atmosphere up to as high as almost 4000° C. In addition, even in air the fiber may be stable at temperatures above 1500° C. up to as high as 1700° C. when the ceramic is appropriately selected. Silicon carbide fibers made in accordance with the present invention, for example, are stable in air at temperatures as high as 1600° C. and are stable in inert atmospheres at temperatures as high as 2300° C. Boron carbide filaments manufactured in accordance with the present invention are similarly stable in an inert atmosphere at temperatures as high as 2250° C. and titanium diboride fibers made in accordance with the present invention are stable at temperatures as high as 2500° C. A sintered zirconium carbide filament in accordance with the present invention, can be stable in an inert atmosphere at temperatures above 3400° C. "Inert atmosphere" as used herein means an atmosphere with which the ceramic does not react. Such atmospheres are intended to include an atmosphere of an inert gas or vacuum. "Stable" as used herein means chemically and physically stable, i.e. the material will not significantly decompose, melt, soften or sublime.
The following examples serve to illustrate and not limit the present invention. Unless otherwise indicated, parts and percentages are by weight.
Alpha SiC powder having a specific surface area of about 10 m2 /g, having an average particle size of less than 1.0 micron and containing
0.5% B4 C: 86.15 g,
Phenolic Resin, (MW˜800): 5.82 g,
Polyethylene, (MW 200,000-250,000): 7.01 g,
Polyethylene, (MW 1,500,000-2,000,000): 6.01 g,
Oleic Acid: 9.58 g.
The mixing was carried out in a Brabender Plastograph blender whose mixing bowl was preheated to 150° C. Approximately one-half the powder and all the organics were added to the mixer with blades running at 20 rpm until fluxing has occurred. The remaining powder was added in small increments. When addition was complete, the mixing speed was increased to 60 rpm and maintained for approximately 30 minutes. The composition was removed, granulated and charged to a fiberizing apparatus equipped with an orifice 0.50 mm diameter×2.54 mm long and heated to 165° C. The material was forced through the orifice by applying pressure in the form of weights on a piston.
The 0.50 mm extrudate was attenuated to approximately 0.20 to 0.10 mm by wrapping around a rotating spool. The collected filaments were removed from the spool, dusted with graphite powder and hang fired in a furnace up to 2300° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere. Tensile strengths measured on such filaments were as high as 104,000 psi (717 MPa).
The resulting fibers were photographed at 200×on an SEM. Representative photographs are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Analysis on a computer image analyzer showed an average roundness of 1.17. At the 200×magnification some minor roughness can be seen which would not be visible without magnification. The smooth appearance without magnification is apparent from the uniform highlights shown along the longitudinal axis even at high magnification.
SiC Powder as in Example I: 72.99 g,
Petrolatum: 11.55 g,
Polyethylene, (MW 200,000-250,000): 5.50 g,
Dioctylphthalate: 4.00 g,
Polyethylene, (MW 1,500,000-2,000,000): 5.00 g,
Phenolic Resin, (MW˜800): 3.25 g,
Tetraethylhexyltitanate: 0.50 g.
Approximately 9 Kg of the above composition was prepared using a 11/2 gallon steam-heated Sigma blade mixer. After mixing was completed and the composition granulated, it was fiberized using a laboratory melt spinning unit. In this case, the granules were remelted in a small extruder and delivered to a gear pump which metered the material to a spinnerette plate containing 20 holes having a diameter of 0.30 mm each. Godet rolls provided further attenuation to 0.20 to 0.10 mm.
Collected SiC filaments were coated with graphite dust and hang fired in a furnace up to 2150° C. in argon. Tensile strengths measured on such filaments were as high as 90,000 psi (620 MPa).
SiC Powder as in Example I: 80.0 g,
Polyvinylbutyral, (MW 225,000): 9.0 g,
Dioctylphthalate: 8.0 g,
Corn Oil: 2.0 g,
Polyethylene Glycol (MW 400): 3.0 g,
Dimethylformamide: 8.0 g,
Resole--Phenolic Resin, (MW˜300): 2.0 g.
Mixing was carried out in a Brabender Plastograph blender at room temperature. A small amount of trichloroethylene and ethanol was added to adjust the consistency of the composition to that of putty. The mixture was extruded using a Melt Index Apparatus equipped with an orifice 0.18 mm in diameter. Weights were applied to the piston for extrusion. The extrudate was collected on absorbent paper and allowed to dry. After drying, the filaments measured 0.1 mm in diameter. The filaments were anchored to a green SiC plate and sintered in argon up to 2150° C. Tensile strengths of such filaments were found to be as high as 192,000 psi (1,324 MPa).
SiC Powder as in Example I: 50.0 g,
Polyethylene Oxide, (MW 4,000,000): 10.0 g,
Acetone: 17.0 g,
Ethanol: 17.0 g,
Phenolic Resin, (MW˜800): 2.3 g.
Mixing was carried out in a Brabender Plastograph blender at room temperature with sufficient distilled water to obtain the consistency of putty. The mixture was fiberized in a small extrusion apparatus and collected on a rotating spool. The filaments were sintered at 2150° C. for 15 minutes.
The resulting fibers were photographed on an SEM at 200×. Representative photographs are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The average roundness, as determined by a computerized image analyzer is 2.08. A comparison of the photograph along the longitudinal axis with a photograph of the fiber cross section clearly shows a characteristic consistent smoothness in the longitudinal direction despite the very unusual cross section.
SiC Powder as in Example I: 100.0 g,
Resole Phenolic, (MW˜300): 5.0 g,
Corn Oil: 10 drops,
Dimethylformamide: 20 drops,
Ethanol/Acetone 50/50 vol: to make thin slurry.
The above ingredients were mixed in a beaker to disperse and coat the SiC particles with phenolic resin. The solvents were evaporated. The resulting mixture was ball milled in a jar for 16 hours. The following was added to the jar mill:
Toluene: 70.0 g,
Polyethylene Glycol (MW 400): 10.0 g,
Dioctylphthalate: 4.0 g,
Corn Oil: 1.0 g,
Dimethylformamide: 25.0 g.
Ball milling was continued for one hour. Then 10.0 g polyvinylbutyral (MW 225,000) and 10.0 g ethanol was added and milling continued for an additional three hours. The slip that was produced was strained through an 80 mesh screen and deaired in vacuum until rapid bubbling ceased. The slip was then ready for fiberization. A syringe was filled with slip and discharged into an air jet. Air impingement angles could be varied from 0° to 90° and the droplets could still be broken up into very fine fibers. Sizes varied but some as small as 2 μm were measured.
The procedure of Example I was essentially followed except that the formulation was:
AlN Powder having a specific surface area of about 7 m2 /g, having an average particle size of about 1.5 micron and containing 1% Y2 O3 : 83.0 g,
Petrolatum: 14.0 g,
Polyethylene (MW 200,000-250,000): 5.5 g,
Polyethylene (MW 1,500,000-2,000,000): 2.0 g,
Corn Oil: 1.5 g.
A Brabender Plastograph blender was used for mixing the above components for 20 minutes at 160° C. The processed fibers were placed on a graphite plate and sintered in nitrogen at 1850° C. for 11/2 hours to form high temperature sintered aluminum nitride fibers.
The procedure of Example I was followed except that the formulation was:
B4 C Powder having a specific surface area of about 8 m2 /g and having an average particle size of about 1.5 micron: 50.0 g,
Polyethylene Oxide (4,000,000 MW): 10.0 g,
Acetone: 16.0 g,
Methanol: 16.0 g,
Phenolic Resin (MW˜800): 5.0 g,
Water: 1.0 g.
The fiberizing apparatus comprised a spinnerette having 20 holes each 0.2 mm in diameter. The mixed formulation was forced through the spinnerette at about 70 psi (0.5 MPa). The filaments were collected at about 30 feet (9.14 meters) per minute.
The resulting extruded fibers were hang fired in a B4 C coated graphite crucible in argon. The temperature was raised to 2150° C. and held for 6 minutes to form high temperature boron carbide fibers.
A 200×photograph of the cross section of characteristic fibers made substantially in accordance with this invention is shown in FIG. 5.
The procedure of Example V was followed except that the formulation was:
TiB2 Powder having a specific surface area of about 8 m2 /g and having an average particle size of about 1.5 micron: 50.0 g,
Polyethylene Oxide (MW 600,000): 10.9 g,
Acetone: 15.0 g,
Ethyl Alcohol: 15.0 g,
Phenolic Resin (MW˜800): 2.5 g,
Water: 5.3 g.
Random samples of the resulting extruded filaments were measured and found to have diameters of between 18.4 and 28.3 microns. The filaments were hang fired in a B4 C coated crucible in argon for about 15 minutes at about 2150° C. to form high temperature titanium diboride fibers.
The sintered titanium diboride product remained fiberous and had a silver-gray color.
A 500×cross sectional photograph of characteristic fibers made substantially in accordance with this example is shown in FIG. 6.
The procedure of Example VI was followed except that the formulation was:
Beta SiC Powder having a specific surface area of between 15.1 and 18.7 m2 /g and having an average particle size between 0.25 and 0.29 micron, HF & HNO3 Treated and Washed: 75.27 g,
Low Density Polyethylene (MW 200,000-250,000): 5.22 g,
Polyethylene (MW 1,500,000-2,000,000): 4.75 g,
Tetraethylhexyltitanate: 0.48 g,
Petrolatum: 10.92 g,
Dioctylphthalate: 3.80 g,
Phenolic Resin (MW˜800): 3.09 g.
Upon fiberizing, the fibers were attenuated to about 0.1 mm (100 microns) in diameter. The filaments were hang fired in a graphite crucible coated with a slurry containing 9 parts SiC and 1 part B4 C. Sintering was accomplished in an argon atmosphere. For sintering, the temperature was raised to 1900° C. and held for 5 minutes. The resulting product was a sintered silicon carbide filament.
Approximately 60.0 grams of green SiC filaments prepared per Example II were cut into 6 mm lengths. The cut filaments were randomly loaded into a 75×150 mm compression mold and compacted with sufficient pressure to produce a block about 6 mm thick. The block was sintered in Argon at 2150° C. for 60 minutes. The calculated pore volume on the resulting filament compact was approximately 70%. The sintered filament compact was pressure infiltrated with molten aluminum to produce an aluminum block reinforced with SiC filaments.
4.0 g SiC polycrystalline fiber (about 100 μm in diameter) were placed in a mortar and pestal and lightly chopped to achieve a fiber length of between about 1.5 to 3.0 mm.
95.0 g Al2 O3 powder+0.45 g (0.5%) MgO were placed in a beaker. The 4 g of chopped fibers were added to the powder and mixed by rolling for 1/2 hour to distribute the fiber in the Al2 O3.
The mixed powder and fiber were then poured into a 63.5 mm diameter graphite mold that was coated with BN and lined with graphite paper. The powder was leveled and a top plunger inserted and cold pressed to about 1500 psi (10 MPa).
The mold was then placed in a hot press furnace and hot pressed to about 1500° C. at a rate of 1200° C./hour with maximum pressure of about 1800 psi (12 MPa) on the part and held at temperature for 1/2 hour.
A density of 3.89 g/cc 98.5% of theoretical density was found. Micro cracks could be seen in the matrix.
Alpha SiC Powder as in Example I: 56.0 g,
Resole Phenolic Resin (MW 300): 1.3 g,
Oleic Acid: 1.3 g,
Polyethylene Glycol (MW 20,000): 1.3 g.
The above chemicals were placed in a 500 ml ball mill jar with mixed alcohols (ethanol with 5% methanol) and milled together for 2 hours.
12.0 g of SiC sintered polycrystalline fiber having a diameter of about 100 μm were placed in a mortar and pestal and lightly chopped to achieve lengths of between about 1.5 and 3.0 mm.
The milled mix was poured into a glass dish and allowed to settle. The clear alcohol was decanted and the remaining slurry placed on a hot plate to evaporate more solvent and thicken. The 12.0 g of crushed SiC fibers were slowly added to the slurry while stirring. The blend was then allowed to dry.
The dry powder was placed into a 63.5 mm square steel mold and cold pressed. The cold pressed plate was then isopressed to 17,000 psi (117 MPa) and sintered to 2150° C. in argon.
A density of 2.73 g/cc, equal to 85.3% of theoretical density was found. The matrix showed some cracking and some fibers appeared not tightly bound to the matrix.
Alpha SiC Powder as in Example 1: 50.0 g,
Resole Phenolic Resin (MW˜300): 1.3 g,
Oleic Acid: 1.3 g,
Polyethylene Glycol (MW 20,000): 1.3 g.
The above chemicals were placed in a 500 ml ball mill jar with mixed alcohols and milled together for 2 hours.
15.0 g of TiB2 sintered polycrystalline fiber as prepared in Example VIII were placed in a mortar and pestal and lightly chopped to achieve lengths of between 1/8" and 1/16" (1.5 mm and 3.0 mm).
The milled mix was poured into a glass dish and allowed to settle. The clear alcohol was decanted and the remaining slurry placed on a hot plate to evaporate more solvent and thicken. The 15.0 g of chopped TiB2 fibers were slowly added to the slurry while stirring. The blend was then allowed to dry.
The dry powder was placed into a 63.5 mm square steel mold and cold pressed at 12,000 psi (83 MPa). The cold pressed plate was then isopressed to 17,000 psi (117 MPa) and pressureless sintered to 2150° C. in argon.
The resulting composite showed a density of 2.91 g/cc, equal to 86.1% of theoretical density. Microstructure observation revealed little evidence of matrix cracking.

Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 1GB Graphics Card
Far Cry 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.01
Timedemo or Level Used: Ranch Long
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.farcry2.com/
The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.
Looking at Far Cry 2, we again see that the GTS 250 is able to beat out the HD 4870 once again at certain points. Both cards are playable at these settings at up to 1920 x 1200. While the GTS 250 is slightly faster at 2560 x 1600, its minimum is just too low to make it enjoyable.

On April 8, the Massachusetts Division of Banks sent a letter to state-licensed debt collectors advising them that it is illegal to collect on consumer loans that violate the Massachusetts small loan statute. The action follows a similar step taken by the New York Department of Financial Services last month. The Massachusetts letter reminds debt collectors that entities engaged, directly or indirectly, in the business of making loans of $6,000 or less with interest and expenses paid on the loan in excess of 12% annually must be licensed with the Division of Banks. Further, state law limits the annual interest rate that can be charged on small loans to 23%. The letter advises debt collectors that (i) loans made in violation of these rules are void, (ii) it is illegal to attempt to collect on debt that is void or unenforceable, and (iii) it is the responsibility of licensed debt collectors to ensure that they do not facilitate the creation or collection of illegal loans. The letter urges licensed debt collectors to review all client contracts and debtor accounts to ensure that all consumer, compliance, and reputational risks are appropriately evaluated and addressed on an ongoing basis.

Music to Your Ears
By Laura Marrich
A Mic for Every Mouth
In an ideal world, open mics would be as individual as the people who sign up to play them. Albuquerque's not too far off. This city's already friendly to musicians trying to get a foothold in public (some argue too friendly, but that's another column). The past few months in particular have seen a new crop of open mics—specialized ones created with a specific type of performer in mind. Here's a rundown of some of the most promising. That is, if you:
Music Interview
The rock that never dies
By Simon McCormack
By the time Megadeth bassist James Lomenzo joined the band's lineup in 2006, he'd built a 30-year career of rock with artists like David Lee Roth and bands like White Lion and Black Label Society. "I've played with pretty much everybody, so there's not much that's gonna scare me," Lomenzo asserts.

Sonic ReducerMoby Last Night · Ministry and Co-Conspirators Cover Up · Elf Power In a Cave
Nine studio albums deep, Moby returns in full electronic force and points it toward a dance record. On Last Night, Moby stays off the vocals and allows artists like Grandmaster Caz to fill the track with rhymes, turning out an album that's rhythmic and groovy, and hints at a world of clubs and drugs. At times, Moby's sample layering blankets tracks with dissonance; but for the most part the cohesion of breaks and odd harmonies allow Last Night to linger pleasantly. (JH)

Now that Roger Clemens has decided to remain in Houston, the three clubs who lost out in the Rocket Sweepstakes -- the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers -- have to make other plans.
Clemens re-signed with the Astros on Wednesday, and when the day was done the Red Sox and Yankees were tied atop the AL East and the Rangers clung to a four-game lead in the AL West. Clearly, all three teams have postseason aspirations.
But all three clubs are also in need of pitching upgrades and will have to find reinforcements that don't involve Clemens.
Here's a look at the three teams and where -- and to whom -- they might turn:
Red Sox
The Sox held out some hope that Clemens would finish his career where it started and were actually the last runner-up ruled out in this pageant.
The duo of Curt Schilling and Josh Beckett is fine, and though Tim Wakefield has just four wins in 11 starts, he gives the Red Sox innings and experience. After that, the rotation is thin.
Matt Clement sports a 6.91 ERA and his confidence is bruised. The Sox never know what to expect from this enigmatic righty, whose results seldom match the quality of his stuff.
They were encouraged by David Wells' aborted return (4 1/3 innings, one run allowed on Friday). But it's unclear when -- or if -- he'll return. If Wells could overcome some chronic knee issues, he could help over the final three months. But his return to health is hardly certain.
Lefty phenom Jon Lester is progressing nicely at Triple-A Pawtucket, but ideally the Sox would like him to get more experience. Erstwhile closing option Craig Hansen is being stretched out at Pawtucket but isn't ready to assume a regular workload in a big league rotation.
The Sox have kicked the tires on Twins right-hander Kyle Lohse, who could benefit from a change of scenery but probably isn't the answer. Like nearly everyone else, they'll make calls on Dontrelle Willis in July, but after Marlins GM Larry Beinfest cherry-picked Boston's system in the Beckett trade this past offseason and came away with shortstop Hanley Ramirez and three young arms, it's unlikely they can match up again.
The Red Sox could find a journeyman to get them through the next couple months -- until either Wells is healthy or Lester is prepared -- but won't sacrifice much for a short-term rental.
The start from Randy Johnson on Monday in Detroit was encouraging, though hardly a guarantee that the Big Unit has completely righted himself.
Mike Mussina is off to a terrific start, but as several people have noted, Mussina always seems to fare better when he's not expected to be a team's No. 1 starter. That makes Johnson's return to form doubly important. Jaret Wright has thrown well since returning from the disabled list, but as always, he's brittle.
Chien-Ming Wang has been spotty -- hardly surprising for a second-year pitcher -- and Shawn Chacon is on the DL, replaced for the time being by Aaron Small.
A year ago, when the Yankees were desperate for help, Small went 10-0 after a promotion from Triple-A Columbus. So far, he's a disappointing 0-2 with a 7.78 ERA in seven outings.
Money is never a sticking point for the Yankees when it comes to taking on contracts, but do the Yankees have the necessary prospects to package in a trade for proven pitching help? Right-hander Philip Hughes at Double-A Trenton is their most accomplished prospect in years, but for just that reason, the Yanks swear he's untouchable. That stance could soften if a certain principal owner demands the baseball brain trust put an end to the team's five-year title drought.
Beyond Hughes, the Yanks don't have much to offer in the way of prospects -- at least not any close to being ready to contribute on the major league level. Third baseman Eric Duncan has regressed at Columbus and has shown little power (no home runs in 31 games).
That said, any non-contenders looking to move an expensive starter (hello, Livan Hernandez) always seem to have Yankees GM Brian Cashman on speed-dial.
The Rangers are the surprise leaders in the AL West one-third of the way through the season, but the general consensus seems to be that their pitching, as currently constituted, isn't good enough for them to stay there all season without some additional help.
The front four of Kevin Millwood, Kameron Loe, Vicente Padilla and John Koronka all sport sub-5.00 ERAs, not bad for pitchers who make half their starts in the launching pad that is Ameriquest Field.
Robinson Tejeda, having failed in a handful of starts, has been sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma for more seasoning. In the meantime, a second lefty, John Rheinecker, obtained in a useful late-spring acquisition from Oakland, is getting a shot.
Thirteen-year veteran lefty Brian Anderson is recovering from Tommy John surgery and could be ready by midseason. Not long after, the Rangers might get righty Adam Eaton back. Eaton was lost for two-plus months in April with a finger injury.
The Rangers have some depth from which to deal, and though they'll want to retain their best prospects (left-hander John Danks and righty Thomas Diamond), that could change. If the AL West remains winnable in another month or two, the Rangers might feel compelled to go for it, having failed to finish higher than third place since 1999, their last postseason appearance.
On the other hand, the Rangers could help their pitching if only they could start to hit as well as expected. Surely, they didn't expect Michael Young and Mark Teixeira to combine for nine homers in the first two months.

Early in his career, John Patrick traveled to Peru to learn about the production of cotton and hand-spun alpaca wool. In 2007, he returned to Peru to develop relationships with Peruvian organic farm collectives and prepare for the launch of Organic by John Patrick, his collection of sustainable fashion for men and women. Now a leader in the conscious-clothing market, Patrick has revitalized traditional techniques such as hand-weaving and whole-animal leather production. He's also helped increase the use of botanical dyes, recycled fabrics, and organic wool yarns. Patrick's floral-print Liberty romper dress, raw-edged cupro slip, lace shorts, and other resort clothing focus on versatile silhouettes and classic American style while proving just how easy it is to be green.
Playfully polished pieces from our favorite ultra-feminine labels.
Green never goes out of style — especially when you're talking about John Patrick's trademark eco-friendly pieces. The designer revitalized traditional techniques such as hand-weaving and all-natural botanical dyes, delivering chic and streamlined results. Snap up some of Patrick's essentials here, from linen V-necks and cropped wool pullovers to Swiss dot dresses and soft jersey tunics, classic enough to wear everywhere this season and the next.
A staple-status mix of our favorite casual pieces.
"My closet is a sea of black," says men's fashion director Brooke Cundiff. Lucky for a monochrome-lover like her, the fall runways were brimming with subdued hues that offer an updated take on the classic neutral: Olive, camel, navy, gray, and winter white were big stories everywhere from Alexander Wang to Max Mara, and have one reigning virtue. "I love having a monochrome base, because it's like a blank canvas, and you can paint it however you want," Brooke says. To snag a piece of her style, start with solid pieces she calls "great investments" — like those shoppable below — then accessorize to the hilt to make the look your own.

Established in 1978, KOBE is the only Japanese-owned steakhouse in the Coachella Valley. The restaurant, a replica of a 300-year-old Japanese country inn, is set behind a picturesque garden and koi pond on Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage.
Your KOBE experience begins as you enter the traditional Japanese garden, with its handmade water wheel, tsukubai fountain, and temple garden bell. A wooden mon, or gateway, greets you at the entry and, as you cross the red footbridge, your spirit will relax under the soothing sounds from the gentle waterfall flowing into the pond. Many of the colorful koi have lived in the pond since the restaurant opened. Feeding them is a desert tradition.
In the dining rooms, chefs artfully slice and dice delicacies such as Angus steak, lobster, tiger prawns, scallops, and halibut. All are prepared before your eyes in a fun and festive setting around the communal teppan table. The intimate sushi bar features the freshest ingredients. There are two daily happy hours for food and drinks — one from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the other from 8 p.m. until close.
Teppanyaki (鉄板焼き, teppan-yaki) is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan (鉄板), which means iron plate, and yaki (焼き), which means grilled, broiled, or pan-fried.

Very good
Posted by CIPRIAN on Dec 12, 2015
a bit sandy, but it seems it grows muscle quick. It seems to digest well, but mixes slightly difficult. I would buy again!
This great stuff!
Posted by Reviewer3332103 on Jul 28, 2014
I wasn't sure what I would think of this drink. It is a bit goaty but not much. It's a good protein source to be able to add to smoothies, etc. The price is not inexpensive but iHerb has the best price I've seen.
Posted by Reviewer1406794 on Mar 09, 2014
Fantastic taste/texture and muscular results!
LOVE Caprotein!
Posted by Jasmine44 on Feb 03, 2014
I take a heaping spoonful at bedtime & sleep well. The label claims it is "The most digestible protein on the Planet". I also take this occasionally throughout the day if I need a 'pick-me-up'. It mixes well if you add a little warm water, stir well, then add cold water. It also makes a great addition to a green smoothy I usually have in the morning. I try to never be without Caprotein. If I plan to be out & I'm unsure if there is something good that I can eat I have a big scoop in water before I go & 'pick' at the better foods available. As mentioned, it is particularly good at bedtime & I have had no problems digesting it. Goat's milk has a smaller molecular makeup (as I understand)& is thus easier to digest than cow's milk & less likely to cause allergic reaction or digestive problems.
good goat protein powder
Posted by 5426521788591672874 on Oct 22, 2013
arrived in good packaging; goog to know i'mtoping up with a healthy protein; A bit rich and so take it in smaller quantities and it makes a nice drink
Great product!!
Posted by AnnaLL on Apr 25, 2013
I really love this! I'm so happy Mt. Capra have high quality products for those of us who can't tolerate bovine dairy. I find the flavor can be a little chalky, so i blend it with banana and soy milk. (And chocolate chips for those naughty days) Yum! <3

Caprotein - great for use after antibiotics
Posted by 5727824994677765155 on Jan 31, 2013
I had been on antibiotics for a period of time. I have learned that taking probiotics after you've completed taking antibiotics will help replace the good flora in your intestinal track and help build up your immune system. I am unable to tolerate probiotic capsules, even when taken with food. The Caprotein formula, which includes probiotics, does not cause me digestive stress - in fact, it seems to be calming. I drink it by itself in the morning and just let it settle for several hours, and within a week I feel much healthier. I then drink the protein a couple times a week. This is the 3rd time I have used this product for this reason.
Excellent source of goat milk protien
Posted by NBPT100 on Jan 12, 2013
Goat milk protien is a better overall choice that most cow based protien powders(IMHO). Many cow based protien powders are from cows given growth hormones, copeous amounts of antibiotics, and fed grains (not their natural food source). I desire anything I consume from an animal to be from a healthy and happy animal. The goat products from Mt. Capra are from well treated animals. The product gives a good balance of amino acids and is more easily digestible than similar products from a cow. As compared to most protien powders it mixes well and the vanilla taste is good. I hope you found this helpful. Peace and good health.

For Health and Fitness enthusiasts alike.
Posted by Rosiee on Sep 18, 2012
I really like goat milk products. I find them very healthy, beneficial and overall much better alternative to cow's. I used to make my homemade goat yogurt and bought goat cheese. Most people I know don't grow to like the distinct goaty taste and flavor, that accompanies goat products, but to me, it's excellent. I find it exotic, unusual and quite tasty, really. So with all the love for goat products already, I decided to continue the trend and bought this goat protein powder to use as an ingredient it my shakes and homemade protein bars. When I received the container, it was everything I wanted it to be. It gave that little string of unusual, but pleasant flavor, it also fortified them with more protein and nutrients. I even like to enjoy it mixed only with cold yogurt. Consequently I confirmed, that I digest it more easily, than its bovine counterparts. Thanks to Mt Capra for producing and iHerb for carrying this admirable product!
great in smoothies
Posted by Reviewer2198938 on Sep 13, 2012
I use this every day in my breakfast smoothie and really like it. Glad there is such a good goat milk protein powder out there!

TeXmacs – A convenient layout program for your text documents
If you need to lay out a text document, you can opt for a WYSIWYG application, like OpenOffice, or a genuine layout system such as TeX. TeXmacs combines the advantages of both approaches: premium document quality and intuitive controls.
Text-based document markup systems such as LaTeX play a leading role in creating premium-quality scientific documents. LaTeX, which is based on the TeX typesetting program, lets the author focus on the content without having to worry about the layout. However, learning the layout language involves a considerable learning curve.
At the opposite end of the typesetting scale are graphics-based WYSIWYG editors, such as OpenOffice. The WYSIWYG interface makes common functions like type formatting, table layouts, or image placement much more easily accessible. However, features such as the typeface quality are typically inferior to the alternatives that are produced by a tool such as LaTeX.
