'Signing up to the show was a big mistake': Splash's Kendra Wilkinson apologises to fans after getting axed for refusing to leap
Kendra Wilkinson has revealed she regrets ever signing up to appear in Splash after being booted off the celebrity diving show.
The 27-year-old was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday night just hours after her dramatic - and rather disappointing - exit aired on television.
She refused to leap off a 23-foot high diving board with her extreme skier partner Rory Bushfield and said her automatic elimination would haunt her forever.
She took to Twitter after the broadcast and said she was getting heat for quitting.
Splashed down: Kendra Wilkinson arrives at Los Angeles International Airport late on Tuesday after viewers watched her get kicked off celebrity diving show Splash
'Big mistake signing up for the show. Sorry I let you all down,' read one of her postings.
The former Playboy Mansion resident, ex-girlfriend of Hugh Hefner and reality TV star touched down at LAX after a cross-country flight from New York where she earlier taped a segment on ABC's The View.
Wilkinson kept it casual at the airport, wearing baggy grey sweatpants, a T-shirt and grey hoodie.
She capped off the ensemble by keeping her black-and-white neck pillow on her shoulders.
Casual travel: Kendra topped off her baggy ensemble with a black-and-white neck pillow
Kendra had previously admitted on ABC's Splash that she was afraid of heights.
She was paired with wildman Bushfield for the pairs diving episode.
Divemaster Greg Louganis wanted the duo to do a 'baby' catch dive with Bushfield holding Kendra in his arms as they jumped.
Bushfield defied doctors' orders to stop diving after rupturing an eardrum in practice, but even he couldn't talk Kendra into taking the leap.

Quitter: Playmate Kendra Wilkinson got kicked off Splash after refusing to make her dive on Tuesday
Kendra kept finding excuses not to do the dive in practice sessions.
'I have to poop,' she claimed as Bushfield repeatedly tried to get her to jump.
Kendra fought back tears as she wrestled on the show with whether to dive or not.
'It's very bittersweet,' Kendra said later. 'One thing I don't do is quit and this is the first time in my life I've quit so I'm not happy. This will haunt me for the rest of my life.'
Kendra also took to Twitter on Wednesday and thanked her fans for their support. Her posts said she didn't have any disappointment and remained proud of herself.
'Either you understand or you don't': Kendra linked taking the plunge with 'jumping to my death' and felt she was risking her life

Muskego - Muskego's Public Works Committee will likely schedule a special meeting to review a controversial recreation path that would be built along a portion of Tess Corners Drive.
A divided Common Council this week decided to give the path another look, to the relief of about 20 residents in the audience who oppose the path. Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti cast the tie-breaking vote that sent the matter to committee.
Tess Corners Drive residents have object to the planned eight-foot-wide path because of the substantial loss of trees, its impact on their front yards, and how close it would come to their homes. One homeowner estimated it would within 35 feet of her living room window.
Because much of the path will cut through his district, newly elected Alderman Robert Wolfe, who was at his first Common Council meeting last week, asked for more information. Chiaverotti said she wanted the new alderman to have that chance. Wolfe is on the Public Works Committee.
"I can see their concerns," said Wolfe said, who has looked from their front doors to where the path would be. The council should look at alternatives, he added.
City officials hope that the path and the related Tess Corners Drive road and drainage work can still be done this year, despite the delay due to 11th-hour objections.
Path alternatives
As to what exactly could be done to satisfy those objections isn't certain. Cost and safety factors are among the issues.
Moving the path from its planned off-road location to beside the shoulder of the road could add roughly $170,000 to the $1.4 million project, Public Works Director David Simpson estimated. But Alderman Dan Soltysiak speculated that the extra cost could be brought down under some of the options that came up at the council meeting.
Those options include a path on just on one side of the road, with a barrier to protect bicyclists and walkers from traffic; a mixed on-road, off road path; or a path being narrower than the standard eight feet.
Whether any of those options would reduce tree loss is an open question. Simpson doubts it would.
Not only that, the city might be throwing away between $50,000 and $80,000 it spent to design the path as it is, said Alderman Keith Werner.
Recreationists vs. neighbors
While nearly all the speakers at the council meeting opposed the path, two said they like the city's bike and walking trail system and hope that it will be completed one day. They aren't alone, Chiaverotti said.
Lots of people want the Tess Corners path, based on the 82 emails her office received from residents of Stony Creek, a retirement community, she said.
In a broader sense, aldermen are striving to avoid such battles every time a recreation path segment is built. Two aldermen remember two other such battles just as pitched as this one.
One of them is Neil Borgman, who said the problem is that trees have grown up in the city rights of way in older parts of the city, beautifying the neighborhoods. New recreation paths could result in the loss of some of those trees, he said.
Alderman Kert Harenda urged the council to review the five-year trail plan, set priorities and develop more meaningful notices to warn people living along future paths about potential impacts. Then they can object in enough time for the city to try to work out problems, he said.
What a few of the speakers who addressed the Muskego Common Council on the planned Tess Corners recreation path said:
"The traffic coming around our corner is horrific. A bike path would add to the problem." - Judith Stenzel, corner of Tess Corners and Cornell drives
"It's too expensive and a total misuse of taxpayer dollars." - Dianne Stern, Tess Corners and Woods drives
"Why let our properties be diminished. … I don't see the road now. I don't want to see it and I don't want to see a bike path." - Roger Kabishik, Belmont Road
"I am so excited about this path. … I'm amazed at how much paths are used. The problem is that they are not connected." - Linda Johnson, Sandy Noll Court
"One thing that's gotten out of hand is the traffic on that road. … It's a very dangerous curve there, and the walk would be on the outside of the curve. That's where all the accidents happen." - Fred Galten, Tess Corners Drive

Hundreds of WMDs discovered in Iraq, report says, more to be found ...
The U.S. has located some 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003 with more likely to be found, according to two Republican members of Congress trumpeting a newly declassified portion of a government report.
"We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, chemical weapons," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said at an afternoon news conference.
Santorum read from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, which noted: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."
The Pennsylvania senator, who appeared with Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, outlined six key points contained in the unclassified overview:
Click to read the declassified portion of the NGIC report
- Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.
- Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.
- Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out.
- The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles.
- The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.
- It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

This application is a national stage application (under 35 U.S.C. 371) of PCT/EP03/06051 filed Jun. 10, 2003 which claims benefit to German application Serial No. 102 26 461.9 filed Jun. 13, 2002.
The present invention relates to a process for reducing the content of nitrogen oxides in gases, in particular in process gases and offgases, and also an apparatus suitable for carrying out this process.
Many processes, e.g. combustion processes or in the industrial preparation of nitric acid, produce an off-gas laden with nitrogen monoxide NO, nitrogen dioxide NO2 (together referred to as NOx) and nitrous oxide N2O. While NO and NO2 have long been known as compounds having ecotoxic relevance (acid rain, smog formation) and limit values for maximum permissible emissions of these have been set worldwide, nitrous oxide has increasingly moved into the focus of environmental protection in recent years, since it contributes to a not inconsiderable extent to the degradation of stratospheric ozone and to the greenhouse effect. For reasons of environmental protection, there is an urgent need for technical solutions which enable nitrous oxide emissions to be eliminated together with the NOx emissions.
Numerous possible ways of separately removing firstly N2O and secondly [lacuna] are known.
In the case of NOx reduction, particular mention may be made of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by means of ammonia in the presence of vanadium-containing TiO2 catalysts (cf., for example, G. Ertl, H. Kn�zinger J. Weitkamp: Handbook of Heterogeneous Catalysis, Vol. 4, pages 1633-1668, VCH Weinheim (1997)). This can, depending on the catalyst, proceed at temperatures of from about 150� C. to about 450� C. and makes it possible to decrease the concentration of NOx by more than 90%. it is the most widely utilized variant of the removal of NOx from offgases from industrial processes.
Processes for the reduction of NOx which are based on zeolite catalysts and proceed using a variety of reducing agents are also known. Apart from Cu-exchanged zeolites (cf., for example, EP-A-0914866), iron-containing zeolites in particular appear to be of interest for practical use.
Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,329 claims a process for reducing NOx in a gas comprising at least 50% of NO2 by means of ammonia in the presence of an Fe zeolite. The ratio of NH3 to NO2 is at least 1.3. According to the process described in this patent, NOx-containing gases are said to be reduced by means of ammonia without formation of N2O as by-product occurring.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,451,387 describes a process for the selective catalytic reduction of NOx by means of NH3 over iron-exchanged zeolites at temperatures of about 400� C.
In contrast to the removal of NOx from offgases, which has been established industrially for many years, there are only few industrial processes for eliminating N2O. These are usually based on thermal or catalytic degradation of the N2O. An overview of catalysts whose in-principle suitability for the degradation and removal of nitrous oxide has been demonstrated, is given by Kapteijn et al. (Kapteijn F. et al., Appl. Cat. B: Environmental 9 (1966) 25-64).
Fe and Cu zeolite catalysts which either effect a pure decomposition of the N2O into N2 and O2 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,171,553) or catalytically reduce the N2O with the aid of NH3 or hydrocarbons to N2 and H2O or CO2 appear to be particularly useful.
Thus, JP-A-07 060 126 describes a process for reducing N2O by means of NH3 in the presence of iron-containing zeolites of the pentasil type at temperatures of 450� C. The reduction in the N2O concentration which can be achieved by means of this process is 71%.
In Catal. Lett. 62 (1999) 41-44, Mauvezin et al. give an overview of the suitability of various, iron-exchanged zeolites of the MOR, MFI, BEA, FER, FAU, MAZ and OFF types for this purpose. According to this reference, reduction of more than 90% of the N2O can be achieved by addition of NH3 at below 500� C. only in the case of Fe-BEA.
Apart from the abovementioned processes for the separate removal of N2O and NOx, there are also processes for combined removal which can be carried out using a single catalyst.
WO-A-00/48715 discloses a process in which an NOx— and N2O-containing offgas is passed at temperatures of from 200 to 600� C. over an iron zeolite catalyst of the beta type (=BEA type), with the offgas additionally containing NH3 in a ratio of from 0.7 to 1.4 based on the total amount of NOx and N2O. Here, NH3 serves as reducing agent both for NOx and for N2O. Although the process operates at temperatures of less than 500� C., it suffers, like the abovementioned process, from the in-principle disadvantage that an approximately equimolar amount of reducing agent (here NH3) is required to eliminate the N2O content.
WO-A-01/51,181 discloses a process for the removal of NOx and N2O, in which a process gas or offgas is passed through two reaction zones containing iron-laden zeolites as catalysts. In the first reaction zone, N2O is removed, ammonia is added to the gas mixture between the first and second reaction zones and NOx is reduced in the second reduction zone.
It has now surprisingly been found that the effectiveness of the abovementioned process can be increased significantly when the reduction in the N2O content to the desired degree of removal occurs not solely in the first reaction zone, but instead the reaction zone for the NOx reduction can also be utilized for reducing the N2O content. This has become possible since it has surprisingly been established that simultaneous NOx, reduction (e.g. by means of NH3) and N2O decomposition is possible when using iron-laden zeolite catalysts. The contribution of the second reaction step to the decomposition of N2O is particularly great when the process is operated at elevated pressures, i.e. at pressures above 2 bar, preferably above 4 bar.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple but economical process which gives good conversions both for NOx removal and for N2O removal and has minimal operating and capital costs. The former includes not only the energy for setting the necessary operating temperature but also the consumption of reducing agent and energy losses due to resistances to flow in the catalyst bed (pressure drops). The capital costs are determined essentially by the required amounts of catalyst and the apparatus volumes associated therewith.
In addition, there is the problem of introducing the reducing agent which has to be mixed intimately with the gas stream to be treated in order to ensure a very high efficiency of the reducing agent (avoidance of secondary reactions and passage without reaction). The mixer necessary for this purpose should take up as little space as possible because of installation and economic considerations.
These objects are achieved by the process of the invention and the apparatus of the invention
The invention provides a process for reducing the content of NOx and N2O in gases, in particular in process gases and offgases, which comprises the measures:
In the first catalyst bed for pure N2O decomposition, the NOx which is still present in the gas accelerates, as expected, the desired N2O decomposition by means of an activating action as has been described for various N2O/NOx ratios by K�gel et al. in Catal. Comm. 2 (2001) 273-6.
However, an appreciable decrease in the N2O concentration by decomposition into nitrogen and oxygen can be achieved in the second catalyst bed, too. This was surprising since, firstly, the NOx content which activates the N2O decomposition is reduced by addition of the reducing agent and, secondly, it was expected that the reducing agent added would be temporarily adsorbed on the catalyst surface and thus block the active sites for N2O decomposition.
Under the chosen process conditions, i.e. the elevated pressures and in particular a reduced NH3/NOx ratio, these influences obviously do not come to bear.
The process of the invention thus makes it possible to carry out both the decomposition of N2O and the reduction of NOx at a low operating temperature and economical space velocities and at the same time achieve high degrees of removal of N2O and NOx.
For the purposes of the present invention, the space velocity is the volume of gas mixture (measured at 0� C. and 1.014 bara) per hour divided by the volume of catalyst. The space velocity can thus be set via the volume flow of the gas and/or via the amount of catalyst.
The gas laden with nitrogen oxides is usually passed over the catalyst at a space velocity of from 200 to 200,000 h−1, preferably from 5,000 to 100,000 h−1, in particular from 5,000 to 50,000 h−1, based on the total catalyst volume of the two catalyst beds.
After leaving the first catalyst bed, the N2O content is, according to the process of the invention, preferably above 200 ppm, in particular above 300 ppm. A reduction of not more than 90%, preferably not more than 80%, in the N2O content present at the beginning of the first catalyst bed occurs in the first catalyst bed.
After leaving the first catalyst bed, the N2O— and NOx— containing gas is firstly mixed with a gaseous reducing agent, preferably with NH3, and subsequently passed over the catalyst at a temperature of preferably less than 450� C. and at the chosen space velocity to achieve simultaneous removal of N2O (by decomposition) and NOx (by reduction).
In the second catalyst bed, an additional reduction of at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, in the N2O content present at the beginning of the second catalyst bed occurs.
In the process of the invention, iron-containing zeolites are used in the first and second catalyst beds. The catalysts used in the respective catalyst beds can be different or can preferably be the same catalyst.
Physical separation of the catalyst beds makes it possible to set the temperature of the second catalyst bed or of the gas stream entering it by removal or introduction of heat so that it is lower or higher than that of the first catalyst bed.
The temperature of the gas stream in the first catalyst bed in which only the N2O is removed and also in the second catalyst bed in which N2O and NOx are removed is, according to the invention, below 500� C., preferably in the range from 250 to 500� C., in particular from 300 to 450� C. and very particularly preferably from 350 to 450� C. The temperature in the second catalyst bed preferably corresponds to the temperature in the first catalyst bed. The temperature in the catalyst bed can advantageously be determined as the arithmetic mean of the temperature of the gas stream at the entrance to and exit from the catalyst bed.
The choice of operating temperature is, like the space velocity selected, determined by the desired degree of removal of N2O.
The temperature, volume flow and amount of catalyst in the first catalyst bed are preferably selected so that not more than 90%, preferably not more than 80% and very particularly preferably not more than 70%, of the N2O present at the beginning of the first catalyst bed is decomposed in the first catalyst bed.
The temperature, volume flow and amount of catalyst in the second catalyst bed are preferably selected so that a further reduction in the N2O content of the gas by at least 30%, based on the N2O content at the entrance to the second catalyst bed, occurs in the second catalyst bed.
The process of the invention is carried out at an elevated pressure of at least 2 bar, preferably at least 3 bar, very particularly preferably from 4 to 25 bar. The introduction of the reducing agent between the first catalyst bed and the second catalyst bed, i.e. downstream of the first and upstream of the second catalyst bed, is carried out by means of a suitable device, e.g. an appropriate pressure valve or appropriately configured nozzles.
In the first reaction zone, a relatively low water concentration is generally preferred, since a very high water content would make high operating temperatures (e.g. >500� C.) necessary. Depending on the type of zeolite used and the time of operation, this could exceed the hydrothermal stability limits of the catalyst. However, the NOx content plays a critical role here, since this can stop deactivation by water.
In the case of the NOx reduction in the second reaction zone, a high water content plays a minor role, since high degrees of removal of NOx are achieved here even at relatively low temperatures.
The reducing agent is used in the amount required for reduction of the NOx. For the purposes of the present description, this is that amount of reducing agent which is necessary to reduce the NOx present in the gas mixture either completely or to the desired final concentration without appreciable reduction of N2O taking place.
As reducing agents for the purposes of the invention, it is possible to use substances which have a high activity and selectivity for the reduction of N2O and whose selectivity and activity under the reaction conditions selected is greater than that for the possible reduction of N2O.
Reducing agents which can be used for the purposes of the invention are, for example, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ammonia or mixtures thereof, e.g. synthesis gas. Particular preference is given to ammonia or substances which liberate ammonia when they are introduced, e.g. urea or ammonium carbamate.
The amount of reducing agent added must not be appreciably greater than that required for the reduction of NOx under the reaction conditions selected.
In the case of ammonia as reducing agent, use is made, depending on the desired degree to which the NOx content is to be decreased, of up to a maximum of 1.2, preferably from 1.0 to 1.2, mol of ammonia per mol of NOx. If a relatively low degree of removal of NOx is desired, the maximum amount of ammonia is 1.2*y mol per mol of NOx; y is the percentage of NOx which is to be consumed in the reduction.
When suitable catalysts and process conditions are chosen, the NH3 added does not act as reducing agent for N2O but instead selectively reduces the NOx present in the offgas.
The process of the invention thus makes it possible to carry out the removal of N2O and of NOx at a lower operating temperature with a small consumption of gaseous reducing agent, e.g. NH3, which has hitherto not been possible by means of the processes described in the prior art.
This is a particularly great advantage when large amounts of N2O are to be eliminated.
The way in which the gaseous reducing agent is introduced into the gas stream to be treated can be chosen freely for the purposes of the invention as long as the introduction is upstream of the second catalyst bed. The reducing agent can be introduced, for example, in the inlet line upstream of the container for the second catalyst bed or immediately before the catalyst bed. The reducing agent can be introduced in the form of a gas or else a liquid or aqueous solution which vaporizes in the gas stream to be treated.
Catalysts used according to the invention substantially comprise one or more iron-laden zeolites, preferably in an amount of >50% by weight, in particular >70% by weight. Thus, for example, not only an Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite but also a further iron-containing zeolite, e.g. an iron-containing zeolite of the MFI or FER type, can be present in the catalyst used according to the invention. In addition, the catalyst used according to the invention can further comprise other additives known to those skilled in the art, e.g. binders.
Catalysts used according to the invention are preferably based on zeolites into which iron has been introduced by solid-state ion exchange. The commercially available ammonium zeolites (e.g. NH4-ZSM-5) and appropriate iron salts (e.g. FeSO4�7 H2O) are usually used as starting materials for this purpose and are intensively mixed with one another by mechanical means in a ball mill at room temperature. (Turek et al.; Appl. Catal. 184, (1999) 249-256; EP-A-0 955 080). The references are hereby expressly incorporated by reference. The catalyst powders obtained are subsequently calcined in air at temperatures in the range from 400 to 600� C. in a muffle furnace. After calcination, the iron-containing zeolites are intensively washed in distilled water, filtered off and dried. The iron-containing zeolites obtained in this way are subsequently admixed with suitable binders and mixed and, for example, extruded to form cylindrical catalyst bodies. Suitable binders include all binders customarily used; the most widely used here are aluminum silicates such as kaolin.
According to the present invention, the zeolites which can be used are laden with iron. The iron content can be up to 25%, but is.preferably from 0.1 to 10%, based on the mass of zeolite.
Iron-laden zeolites are preferably of the MFI, BEA, FER, MOR, FAU and/or MEL type, in particular of the ZSM-5 type.
In a preferred embodiment, iron-laden zeolites whose crystal structure has no pores or channels having crystallographic diameters greater than or equal to 7.0 Angstrom are used at least in the second catalyst bed.
These include iron-laden zeolites of the MFI, FER and/or MEL type, in particular of the ZSM-5 type.
The process of the invention can also be carried out using zeolites in which part of the lattice aluminum has been isomorphously replaced by one or more elements, for example by one or more elements selected from among B, Be, Ga, Fe, Cr, V, As, Sb and Bi. The use of zeolites in which the lattice silicon is isomorphously replaced by one or more elements, for example by one or more elements selected from among Ge, Ti, Zr and Hf, is likewise included.
Precise details on the configuration or structure of the zeolites used according to the invention are given in the Atlas of Zeolite Structure Types, Elsevier, 4th revised edition 1996, which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
In the process of the invention, very particular preference is given to using the above-defined zeolite catalysts which have been treated with water vapor (steamed catalysts). Such treatment removes aluminum from the lattice of the zeolite, and is known per se to those skilled in the art. These hydrothermally treated zeolite catalysts surprisingly display a particularly high activity in the process of the invention.
Preference is given to using hydrothermally treated zeolite catalysts which have been laden with iron and in which the ratio of extralattice aluminum to lattice aluminum is at least 1:2, preferably from 1:2 to 20:1.
The water content of the reaction gas is preferably in the range <25% by volume, in particular in the range <15% by volume. A low water content is generally to be preferred.
In general, a relatively low water concentration is preferred, since relatively high water contents would make relatively high operating temperatures. This could, depending on the type of zeolite used and the operating time, exceed the hydrothermal stability limits of the catalyst and is thus to be matched to the particular case chosen.
The presence of CO2 and of other deactivating constituents of the reaction gas which are known to those skilled in the art should also be minimized if possible, since they would have an adverse effect on the N2O removal.
The process of the invention also works in the presence of O2, since the catalysts used according to the invention have appropriate selectivities which suppress reaction of the gaseous reducing agent, e.g. NH3, with O2 at temperatures of <500� C.
All these influencing factors and also the chosen throughput over the catalyst, i.e. the space velocity, are to be taken into account in choosing the appropriate operating temperature of the reaction zone.
The process of the invention can be used in particular in nitric acid production, for offgases from power stations or for gas turbines. Process gases and offgases which contain nitrogen oxides and from which the nitrogen oxides can be removed inexpensively by means of the process disclosed here are obtained in these processes. The process of the invention is advantageously used for the tailgas from nitric acid production downstream of the absorption tower.
The configuration of the catalyst beds can be chosen freely for the purposes of the invention. Thus, for example, the catalyst or catalysts can be arranged in a catalyst bed through which the gas flows axially or preferably radially in one or more containers.
The invention further provides an apparatus for reducing the content of NOx and N2O in gases, in particular in process gases and offgases, which comprises:
In a preferred embodiment, both catalyst beds are arranged in one container which considerably reduces the apparatus costs.
According to the invention, the gas to be purified flows radially through at least one catalyst bed, preferably both catalyst beds, which results in a considerably reduced pressure drop.
The catalyst beds through which the gas flows radially are, for example, configured in the form of hollow cylinders but can also have other shapes. The catalyst beds through which the gas flows radially can be arranged-above one another or a combination of catalyst beds through which axial and radial flow occurs can be chosen. The path of the gas is prescribed by suitably arranged separators between the catalyst beds so that the gas flows firstly through the first catalyst bed and then through the second catalyst bed.
In the case of catalyst beds through which the gas flows radially, these can also be in the form of hollow cylinders arranged concentrically within one another. In this embodiment too, it should be ensured that the path of the gas is prescribed by suitably arranged separators between the catalyst beds so that the gas flows firstly through the first catalyst bed and then through the second catalyst bed.
The flow direction of the gas in the radial screen reactor can be from the inside outward or from the outside inward.
In a preferred embodiment, there are two catalyst beds through which the gas flows radially, for example in the form of two hollow cylinders, having different dimensions, with the external dimension of one catalyst bed being smaller than the internal dimension of the other catalyst bed and both catalyst beds being arranged concentrically, and with the path of the gas being prescribed by suitably arranged separators between the catalyst beds so that the gas flows firstly through the first catalyst bed and then through the second catalyst bed.
In a further preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the invention, the gas which has passed through the first catalyst bed is passed into a mixer which is preferably located in the center of the apparatus and a feed line for reducing agent which opens into the space downstream of the first catalyst bed and before or preferably into the mixer is provided, with the gas to be purified being passed through the second catalyst bed after leaving the mixer.
The mixer serves to distribute the reducing agent intimately in the gas stream. For the purposes of the invention, the mixer can be configured freely, for example as a static mixer with appropriate internals or as a dynamic mixer. The simplest form of a tube through which flow is preferably turbulent is also possible as a mixer for the purposes of the invention.
The process of the invention is illustrated by the following example.
The catalyst used was an iron-laden zeolite of the ZSM-5 type. The Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst was prepared by solid-state ion exchange starting from a commercially available zeolite in ammonium form (ALSI-PENTA, SM27) Details regarding the preparation can be taken from: M. Rauscher, K. Kesore, R. M�nnig, W. Schwieger, A. Tiβler, T. Turek: "Preparation of highly active Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst through solid state ion exchange for the catalytic decomposition of N2O" in Appl. Catal. 184 (1999) 249-256.
The catalyst powders were calcined in air at 823 K for 6 hours, washed and dried overnight at 383 K. After addition of appropriate binders, the powders were extruded to form cylindrical catalyst bodies.
As apparatus for reducing the NOx and N2O content, use was made of two tube reactors which were connected in series and were each charged with such an amount of the above catalyst that a space velocity of 15,000 h−1 based on the inflowing gas stream resulted in each case. NH3 gas was added between the two reaction zones. The operating temperature of the reaction zones was set by means of heating. The analysis of the gas streams entering and leaving the reactors was carried out by means of an FTIR gas analyzer.
At inlet concentrations of 1,500 ppm of N2O, 350 ppm of NOx, 3,000 ppm of H2O and 1.2% by volume of O2 and N2 and with intermediate addition of NH3 at a uniform operating temperature of 425� C. and an operating pressure of 6.5 bar, the conversion results for N2O, NOx and NH3 listed in the following table were obtained.

Bright Eyeshadow Goes Chic
We've never met a bright lipstick we didn't like. But, bright eye makeup? Now, that's another story. Hot-hued shadows just aren't as user-friendly as our tried-and-true neutrals. But, with the sunny days of summer finally on the horizon, we figured there was no better time to conquer our fear of bold, bright, look-at-me eyes.
So, we called in makeup pro James Vincent to teach us how to wear eyeshadow that stands out for all the right reasons. With his help, our fashion assistant Rachel landed herself a pink-and-purple look that's ripe for summertime. Check it out in all its brightly colored glory, above.
Lime Crime Fantasy Palette in D'Antoinette, $35, available at Nasty Gal; Inglot Freedom System Eyeshadow Palette, prices vary, available at Beautylish; Ardency Inn Modster Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner in Hot Pink, $19, available at Sephora.

FOXBORO -- In a year that featured more first-round trades than any draft in NFL history, Bill Belichick and the Patriots certainly did their part on Thursday night, moving up twice and picking up a pair of defenders in Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones and Alabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower.
First, the Pats sent the 27th overall pick (which was acquired in a deal last year with the Saints) and a third-round pick to the Bengals for No. 21. With that, they picked up Jones. Then, they shipped No. 31 and a fourth-round pick to the Broncos in exchange for No. 25, which they used to select Hightower.
It marked the first time since Belichick took over the team in 2000 that New England used two first-round picks on defense in the same draft.
"I think both guys have been good players in their systems -- they're both smart. They're high quality guys. They've been productive in their systems," Belichick said at the end of the first round. "Hopefully, they'll be able to do that for us, too."
Jones is a 6-foot-5, 265-pound defensive end out of Syracuse who secured a first-team Big East nod in 2011 even after missing the first five games of the season with a knee injury -- in seven games with the Orangemen last year, Jones managed to accumulate 39 tackles, 4 1/2 sacks, one forced fumble and an interception.
With Jones, the Patriots get the body type they crave off the edge -- a longish, lean defensive end, the type of impact player at that spot New England has lacked since Willie McGinest. It's a complicated job: In short, it requires someone versatile enough to get after the passer on a consistent basis, drop into coverage and set the edge. The Patriots have tried to get that sort of guy in the past (Shawn Crable?), but have rarely found a fit.
"In college I played at every position; I played at almost all positions," Jones said. "Making the transition to the NFL, my biggest thing right now is just to learn this defense and get that brotherhood bond with the rest of the guys on that defense.
"I'm just excited to be in this defense," Jones added. "I have no idea where I'm going to play. I'm going to play wherever coach tells me to play and I'm just ready to learn this playbook."
There remain questions as to whether or not Jones has the bulk needed to fit the position -- by way of comparison, McGinest was roughly 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds when he played for New England -- but the Syracuse product put on roughly 15 pounds over the last year or so in hopes of making his body more pro-ready.
"I have no idea," Jones said when asked about potentially adding weight. "Whatever weight coach Belichick wants me to weigh, that's what I'm going to strive hard to weigh when I come in and set foot on the scale for the first time. But I have no idea where I'm going to weigh or what weight I'm going to be. Whatever coach wants me to weigh, that's what I'm going to try to weigh."
"Any player at that age still has room to develop and mature as an athlete," Belichick said. "I don't know. We'll see. He's a pretty well put together kid. I don't think he's going to be 295 [pounds], if that's what you're asking. I wouldn't say that, but could he gain five or 10 pounds? I don't know. We'll see. Put him in the program and work with him. He trains pretty well. He's a pretty well conditioned athlete. I don't know. We'll see."
As of late, Belichick has frequently shown an affinity for players who have grown up in the game: Matthew Slater and Bobby Carpenter have fathers who have played in the league, as well as Andre Carter. Jones isn't a second-generation guy, but his brother Arthur is a defensive tackle in Baltimore. Chandler, whose third brother is a noted MMA fighter (Jonny "Bones" Jones), said Thursday night that his brothers' guidance has been a help.
"My brother Arthur has taught me a lot going through this whole draft process," Chandler said. "He was basically telling me that the way I carry myself off the field, I'm not just representing myself, I'm representing the organization. I feel like having a brother that's in the NFL is a great advantage."
Hightower is more of an intriguing defensive puzzle piece that ultimately could be deployed a number of ways by the Patriots. Acquired at No. 25, he was a consensus All-American -- the 6-foot-2, 265 pounder was one of the captains of the Crimson Tide defense, and he finished with a career-high 85 tackles (40 solo), with four sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
However, he doesn't project in the New England defense as easily as Jones does. That's not to say he won't find a spot -- instead, the Patriots will likely rely on some positional versatility with him at the linebacker spot. He has worked extensively on the inside, but has shown some positional versatility, including some work as an edge player. That would work in New England's favor, especially considering the fact that the Patriots have a pair of linebackers on the inside who are fairly entrenched in Jerod Mayo and Brandon Spikes, not to mention backups like Dane Fletcher and Tracy White.
"I would come in on third down and put pressure on the quarterback," Hightower said when asked about his role as a collegian. "Depending on down and distance, sometimes I would stand up and drop to be an extra zoner; sometimes we'd switch up different roles and have me do some of the other stuff.
"I'm versatile and I can play all different kinds of positions," he added. "It's more or less about the scheme and the philosophy. It gets a lot more technical about what position it is. I'm going to get to the ball and I'm going to make plays on the ball, regardless of whether it's a 4-3 or a 3-4."
"He played middle linebacker really, or inside linebacker off the line for Alabama in their base defense and their nickel," Belichick said of Hightower. "But he also played defensive end in their nickel opposite [Courtney] Upshaw and they were the two defensive ends in their nickel package. He rarely came off the field defensively."
Hightower said he watches film on all the great linebackers: "Patrick Willis, [Brian] Urlacher, Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs -- a lot of the big name guys that play fast with a high motor." He also had some nice things to say about New England's linebacking corps, including fellow SEC alums Mayo and Spikes.
"I watched Jerod Mayo when he was playing at Tennessee. I've seen a lot of Brandon Spikes with him playing at Florida and us banging heads in the SEC," he said. "Playing alongside those guys – those are two really good inside linebackers and I feel like we could have a really good linebacking corps."
In year's past, Belichick has shown a proclivity for going after players coached by Nick Saban. Saban, a former assistant under Belichick in Cleveland, has coached at LSU and Alabama, and his defensive schemes have some of the same earmarks as what Saban has run at the collegiate level. As a result, the transition to the pro game could be a relatively smooth one for Hightower.
"The Patriots were one of those defenses I watched a lot, mainly because we did a lot of the same things," Hightower said. "Coach Belichick is a genius when it comes to football, let alone defense, so to play under somebody like that and to gain more knowledge after playing with Coach Saban, that's something that's going to help me and my game a lot."
The Patriots spoke with both Jones and Hightower at the combine, and in turn, they spoke with each other in Indianapolis, where they speculated about the possibility of ending up on the same team. Now, they'll both be in Foxboro on Friday to meet the media and get their first look at Gillette Stadium as members of the same franchise.
"[In Indianapolis], we joked around a little bit and we said 'What if we were to land on the same team?' and it actually happened," Jones said. "So I can't wait to see him [Friday]."
"I hope we've improved, but we'll see. We haven't put them in a Patriots uniform yet, so we'll see how they do once they get into our system and learn what to do and we'll see how they develop," Belichick said. "We have a lot of good players they have to compete with, and we'll see how it turns out."

My favorite event has to be the April Fools' events. I wasn't able to participate in all of them, even the ones since I've joined, but I know 2006 had Todoroki, 2008 had everyone being a staff member, 2009 had Todoroki's return (which I participated in), and I remember either 2010 or 2011 had a slowpoke prank (Also participated).
