Junior left-hander Grant Watson has been named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week for March 10-16, as announced by Conference office on Tuesday.
Watson led the Bruins to a 3-1 victory over California on Saturday night to help the Bruins clinch the series over the Golden Bears. He was phenomenal on the mound, earning his third win of the year by giving up just one run on two hits in eight innings of work. Watson also struck out four batters on the evening. Additionally, he retired 16 straight batters from the end of the second inning to the start of the eighth inning and allowed just two California base runners through the first seven. With the win, Watson improved his career record as a starter to 21-5 and in his last three starts he has pitched a combined 22 innings while posting a 0.82 ERA.
This marks Watson's second-career Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week nod with the first one coming during his freshman year in 2012. This is also the second time this season that a UCLA pitcher has earned Conference Pitcher of the Week honors, as Cody Poteet received the award after his 13-strikeout performance against Michigan on March 2. Overall, this is the 66th pitcher honoree for the Bruins.
The Bruins (12-7, 3-0 Pac-12) return to action this weekend as they square off against Washington State (6-9, 2-1 Pac-12) in a three-game series at Jackie Robinson Stadium from Friday, March 21 to Sunday, March 23. Game times are 6 p.m., 2 p.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.
2014 Pac-12 Pitchers of the Week
Feb. 18 – Daulton Jefferies, Fr., RHP, CAL
Feb. 25 – Nick Green, Sr., LHP, UTAH
Mar. 4 – Cody Poteet, So., RHP, UCLA
Mar. 11 - Jace Fry, Jr., LHP, OSU
Mar. 18 - Grant Watson, Jr., LHP, UCLA

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
by C.S. Lewis
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Contrasting Regions: Narnia and England Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Narnian time flows differently from ours. If you spent a hundred years in Narnia, you would still come back to our world at the very same hour of the very same day on which you left. And then, if you went back to Narnia after spending a week here, you might find that a thousand Narnian years had passed, or only a day, or no time at all. You never know till you get there. Consequently, when the Pevensie children had returned to Narnia last time for their second visit, it was (for the Narnians) as if King Arthur came back to Britain as some people say he will. And I say the sooner the better. (1.35)
Our narrator seems to be implying that a revival of medieval heroism is just what 20th-century Britain needs to counteract the after-effects of World War II.
Quote #2
Eustace of course would be pleased with nothing, and kept on boasting about liners and motor-boats and aeroplanes and submarines ("As if he knew anything about them," muttered Edmund), but the other two were delighted with the Dawn Treader, and when they turned aft to the cabin and supper, and saw the whole western sky lit up with an immense crimson sunset, and felt the quiver of the ship, and tasted the salt on their lips, and thought of unknown lands on the eastern rim of the world, Lucy felt that she was almost too happy to speak. (2.53)
Eustace connects his identity with the technological advancement of his own world and its point in history. However, as Edmund observes, Eustace didn't create any of the devices he feels so invested in. Eustace invests his self-worth in something outside himself rather than really getting to know himself and his own nature.
Quote #3
It's madness to come out into the sea in a rotten little thing like this. Not much bigger than a lifeboat. And, of course, absolutely primitive indoors. No proper saloon, no radio, no bathrooms, no deck-chairs. I was dragged all over it yesterday evening and it would make anyone sick to hear Caspian show off his funny little toy boat as if it was the Queen Mary. I tried to tell him what real ships are like, but he's too dense. (2.55)
In Eustace's opinion, things aren't "real" unless they are the biggest and the best of their kind. It must be hard to accept the fact that he himself isn't as big or as good at things as Caspian or Edmund. We also notice that Eustace seems to have trouble distinguishing between meaningful technological advances that really change the way life is lived (such as bathrooms) and unimportant creature comforts (such as deck chairs).

Nick Parker, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) vice president of OEM partners, recently spoke at the Computex trade show in Taiwan. The executive expects Windows and Windows Phone devices to come down in cost this year, possibly as low as $200. Last year, most devices were priced from $300 to $500, but this year we could see that range come down to $100 to $300. In the face of escalating competition from Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android, Microsoft has cut or eliminated licensing fees to level the playing field for OEMs.
With the recent Nokia deal closing, Microsoft now owns the largest Windows Phone vendor. Recent usage statistics show that Nokia devices comprise 94% of the installed base, which makes it very difficult to ask OEMs for a license fee. Parker also teased that HTC may have a new Windows Phone in the pipeline.
Microsoft doesn't have much choice other than to focus on the low end. Apple and Samsung own the high end, and the market has responded favorably to Nokia's offerings in the low end. It's simply the hand that Microsoft has been dealt. The company expects global smartphone units to hit 1.7 billion in 2018 and hopes to grab 15% of those units. That represents 255 million units, which is well above its current levels of production. Furthermore, Microsoft has a lot of work getting to its target operating margin as well.
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses Microsoft's low-end smartphone ambitions with Evan Niu, CFA.
Editor's note: Evan incorrectly states that Microsoft is targeting 1.7 billion units. That number is a forecast for global unit volumes in 2018, and Microsoft is targeting 15% market share.

In the garden
A nose for roses
Gorgeous roses have bloomed all around us during the last month, and seeing them tempts gardeners and landowners to add these magnificent plants to their landscapes.
Many, many varieties are available, and choosing the right rose to get what you want can be confusing.
Just some of the options include hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, and miniatures. Then there are old garden and modern roses, and shrub, tree and climbing roses. And, of course, there are also the ramblers and the polyanthas.
It always helps to talk to an experienced specialist, in this case a rosarian.
Henrico master gardener Don Penzler is a consulting rosarian for the American Rose Society and an active member of the Richmond Rose Society.
"The first question I ask is how much care you are willing to give a rose," said Penzler. "Are you willing to feed it once a month, give it enough water and treat it for diseases or insects?"
Your answers to these questions and a look at the space where you're planning to plant can help you decide what type of rose is right for you.
Roses can be grown in the garden or in a container, provided it is large enough. They need a minimum of six hours of sunlight each day. Without sufficient sun, roses produce fewer blooms and are more susceptible to diseases.
They also need fertile soil that allows for good drainage.
Roses need 1-2 inches of water weekly, more in hot weather, less in cool. "I recommend using a rain gauge," said Penzler. "A rain gauge is a good idea for any gardener. You can tell how much water you're getting from rainfall, and how much you need to provide."
Penzler recommends watering the ground around the rose inside the dripline rather than watering leaves. Overhead watering can contribute to diseases like blackspot.
Blackspot is the most common plant disease that affects roses. Black spots appear on leaves and within days the leaves begin to yellow and later drop from the plant. Spraying roses can help fight the disease as well as control common insect pests such as Thrips and Spider Mites.
"Many people today don't have the time to spray their roses or they don't want to use the chemicals," said Penzler, "so the American Rose Society has become focused on disease-resistant roses."
Penzler said that Old Garden roses, Knockout roses and many of the David Austin varieties are good choices for disease resistance.
Roses need to be fertilized and deadheaded during the blooming season to insure healthy plants that continue to bloom. They also need to be pruned at the start of the season, and protected during winter months.
Penzler recommends taking a look at the Richmond Rose Society's website for additional information about planting and caring for roses and a list of roses that are recommended for the Richmond area.
Members of the Richmond Rose Society will also be available on May 19 and 20 at Strange's Nursery in Short Pump to help people figure out what rose best suits their needs, and the Society will hold its annual rose show at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden over the Memorial Day weekend.

A hypothetical franchise analysis of our institutions:
Customer = taxpayer
Counter worker = unionized local public servant
Shift manager = union supported local elected officials
Store manager = union supported state elected officials
District manager = unionized national public servants
Regional managers = union supported national elected officials
Franchise owner = union supported President
Brand owner = International unions?
Thanks to New York City (NYC) Mayor de Blasio for clarifying confusing policies and government actions which appear to be counter-productive. In fact, they may be growth models for the Brand owner. The speed at which de Blasio moved to stop successful charter schools in NYC, which served poor children, was a wakeup call. Unions oppose school choice.
An international union (Unite Here) which supported de Blasio was able to contribute unlimited funds under rules former City Council member de Blasio helped establish. (Falco, Gonen, New York Post 10/28/13)
The Nebraska LB 972 Independent Public Schools Act would provide Independent public schools for children. (Unicameral update 2/27/14)
- Though Obama's own children attend private school, he opposed the successful Washington DC voucher program for poor children. (Washington Post 4/10/12)
- Eric Holder's Department of Justice attempted to block Louisiana's successful voucher program for poor children. (Washington Post 9/1/13)
It has been well-researched and well-documented America's schools have been failing to teach our children for decades. No real reform is implemented, the program titles change, which require MORE. Perhaps de Blasio introduced transparency to the problem of failing schools.
I am fortunate to have the freedom to express my views. In a place like Russia, the Brand owner might buy up property surrounding the journalist, post operatives in each of those buildings, keep her under 24 hour surveillance, follow the journalist every time she leaves the house, wear a badge of authority and slander the journalist at retail establishments she frequents, perhaps even enter her house to set her up for future mischief.
Of course, this column was just for fun. I will keep you posted on developments, comrades.

College Hockey:Iona Downs Bentley
WATERTOWN, Mass. — Adam Bouchard had two goals and two assists to pace Iona in a 6-3 victory over Bentley in MAAC action Saturday in Watertown.
The Gaels improved to 13-10-3 overall and 12-4-3 in MAAC play. The Falcons saw a two-game winning streak come to an end and fell to 4-17-2 overall, 3-15-2 in the conference.
Iona went ahead to stay with a three-goal outburst to close out the second period. Sophomore Mark Hallam tied the game, 2-2, at 4:45 before junior Nathan Lutz and Bouchard scored 32 seconds apart late in the stanza. Lutz's goal came on the power play at 19:27 and Bouchard found the back of the net as time expired in the period. The goal, at 19:59, was the eventual game-winner.
Junior Ryan Carter, who had a hat trick on Friday in a victory over Holy Cross, scored the first Iona goal at 6:43 of the first period, finishing off a pass from Bouchard and freshman Tim Krueckl.
The Falcons answered with the first of two power-play goals at 17:10 of the first when junior John DiGennaro scored his team-leading 12th goal of the season.
Bentley took a 2-1 lead just 1:25 into the second period with another power-play goal as freshman Joe Lovell knocked home the rebound of a shot by freshman Mike Mulligan.
After the scoring outburst to end the second, Bouchard scored Iona's third power-play goal of the game and gave the visitors a 5-2 lead at 1:49 of the third. The Falcons weren't done, however, as freshman Tim Calabro fired home a wrist shot at 7:11 to cut the gap to 5-3.
Iona closed out the scoring in the final seconds as sophomore Jean Paul Chaput scored an empty-net goal with Bentley on the power play.
Senior Ben Brady made 26 stops in goal for the Gaels, 11 in the third period, to earn the win. Falcon senior Ray DeVincent made 29 saves in net for Bentley.

I stayed in the master suite for my 45th birthday and I enjoyed every minute. I had dinner at Papa Joes which is not far from the Oniel House, and upon my return the fire was going in my suite. I plan on returning and look forward to staying in the sleigh room. The breakfast was great as well.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the O'neil House mid May 2012, and we enjoyed it very much. We stayed in the master suite. The master suite has a lot of living space and is comfortable as well as beautiful. The proprietor is very nice and makes a wonderful 3 course breakfast. The large grounds are well manicured and very peaceful. I will be back in the future.

I stayed at the O'Neil House in Aug 2005 and again in April 2010. Both experiences were wonderful. The first time, we stayed in the huge master suite. The second time, we had the three-bedroom suite with the French country sitting room. Gayle, the owner and hostess, is very gracious and an excellent chef. We'll definitely be back.

Six of us stayed in the three bedroom family suite. The other rooms were larger and lovely but occupied. The history, beauty of the grounds, and good location makes it a good place to take friends. We've done this twice and are working on a third trip.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to measure the mechanical baseline behavior of fetal membranes in order to determine constitutive mechanical model parameters for fetal membranes, and to examine their relation to molecular correlates for mechanical function, i.e. collagen and elastin. STUDY DESIGN: The uniaxial stress-strain response of nine human term fetal membranes was measured. Methods of nonlinear continuum mechanics were applied for the analysis of the stress-strain curves. Thickness of amnion and chorion were determined from histologic sections for each fetal membrane sample. Complementary biochemical analysis was performed to quantify the soluble collagen and soluble elastin components for each sample. RESULTS: We report a straightforward histologic modality for measurements of amnion and chorion thickness. Average thickness of the amnion and chorion layers were 111+/-78 microm, and 431+/-113 microm, respectively, which are about twice larger than previously reported. The average content of acid-soluble elastin was 2.1% of wet weight and the one of pepsin/acetic acid-soluble collagen was 10.5% of dry weight. Our data show an inverse proportionality between soluble elastin and soluble collagen content. The low strain elastic modulus ranged between 10 and 25 kPa. Correlations were found between biochemical data and mechanical parameters: there is clearly a direct proportionality between small strain elastic modulus and elastin content. Further, a (less pronounced) direct correlation was observed also between soluble collagen content and the parameter governing the increase in stiffness at larger strains in the nonlinear mechanical model. The mechanical tests revealed a relatively low variability for samples from the same membrane but a large variation between donors. The proposed nonlinear model provides a good fit of the experimental data, with a coefficient of determination, R(2), typically in the range of 0.94. Membranes failure originated at the clamping points thus impairing the quantification of ultimate stress and strain. Thus, no correlation was found between maximum stress and collagen or elastin content. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a starting point for comprehensive quantitative analysis of the relationship between fetal membranes microstructure and their nonlinear deformation behavior. These insights could become useful in identifying potential medical interventions to prevent membranes rupture.

Romney urges Liberty University grads to honor family commitments
Associated Press
LYNCHBURG, Va. — Mitt Romney's Mormon faith has shaped his life, but he barely mentioned it as he spoke to graduates at an evangelical Christian university Saturday.
And he barely touched on hot-button social issues like abortion and gay marriage, instead offering a broad-based defense of values like family and hard work.
"Culture — what you believe, what you value, how you live — matters," Romney told graduates gathered in the football stadium on Liberty University's campus in the Virginia mountains. "The American culture promotes personal responsibility, the dignity of work, the value of education, the merit of service, devotion to a purpose greater than self, and at the foundation, the preeminence of the family."
Instead of a red-meat conservative policy speech, Romney discussed his own family and offered a defense of Christianity, saying that "there is no greater force for good in the nation than Christian conscience in action." Still, he was inclusive: "Men and women of every faith, and good people with none at all, sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life," Romney said.
He had one sustained applause line in a 20-minute speech delivered days after President Barack Obama historically embraced gay marriage. "Marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman," Romney said to a cheering crowd of students who have to follow a strict code of conduct that considers sex out of wedlock and homosexuality to be sins.
On Saturday, Obama was not seeking to revisit the issue of gay marriage. In his weekly radio and Internet address, the president didn't mention his history-making endorsement. Instead, he repeated his call for congressional lawmakers to take up a "to-do list" of tax breaks, mortgage relief and other initiatives that he insists will create jobs and help middle-class families struggling in the sluggish economy.
Having spent part of the week on the West Coast raising money for his re-election effort, Obama appeared in the Rose Garden of the White House to honor award-winning law enforcement officers.
It was Obama's first joint appearance with Vice President Joe Biden after Biden, according to aides, apologized to the president for pushing gay marriage to the forefront of the presidential campaign and inadvertently pressuring Obama to declare his support for same-sex unions.
Obama and Biden were all smiles as they walked to the sun-splashed ceremony together. Introducing Obama, Biden credited the president's commitment to law enforcement and the two quickly embraced before Obama spoke.
The late Rev. Jerry Falwell founded Liberty University in 1971 to be for evangelical Christians "what Notre Dame is to young Catholics and Brigham Young is to young Mormons," as his son, University Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr., said on commencement day. It's become a destination for Republican politicians looking to speak to the religious right, and Romney's campaign team — planning the speech long before gay marriage became a central issue — viewed it as an opportunity to address the kind of socially conservative audience that had been wary of him during the prolonged GOP primary fight.
For Romney, the challenge is twofold. His past policy positions, including support for abortion rights, don't sit well. But his personal faith is also an issue because many evangelicals don't consider Mormons to be fellow Christians. Evangelicals are a critical segment of the GOP base; many of those voters backed his GOP rivals in the prolonged primary.

After three summers of people complaining about Nationals being too slow to promote… this summer, those people can shut the trunk up.
As noted earlier this season, the increased movement has made it harder to call true promotions versus need-based fill-ins. Thus, you're seeing verbs "assign" or "reassign," which are a bit more benign, but also enables me to avoid using word "demoted" for when a player is returned (e.g. Taylor Hill).
My personal guideline has been to avoid calling any movement between the short-season leagues a promotion, but Lucas Giolito is an obvious exception. Likewise for Austin Voth and Jake Johansen, as all three are top draft picks and their transfers from the GCL to Auburn and Auburn to Hagerstown are difficult to characterize as anything but.
The roster moves for Giolito and Voth have been officially announced, with Giolito scheduled to make his New York-Penn League debut (on the road, natch) tonight. Auburn Citizen beat reporter Jeremy Houghtaling (@CitizenHough for those of you on "the Twitters") says he'll make the trip to Batavia, so we'll have at least one independent account.
Voth appears to be slated to start tomorrow, weather permitting, as will Brett Mooneyham for Potomac, with the younger Pac-12 pitcher taking the place of the elder, who's reportedly on his way to Potomac according to MASN's Byron Kerr.
The moves for Johansen and Mooneyham have not been officially announced, but the speculation here is that Paul Demny will be placed on the Potomac DL to make room for Mooneyham (and take his place in the rotation) and similar move will be made for Hagerstown (more likely a reliever with Ian Dickson going to the 'pen).
UPDATE: Auburn has officially announced the promotion of Johansen to Hagerstown. The Suns, in turn, have announced the promotion of Mooneyham to Potomac while LHP Jake Walsh has been reassigned to the GCL to accommodate the transfers of both Johansen and Voth. A corresponding move for Potomac has not yet been announced.
4 Responses to "Ripple Effect From Giolito Promotion (UPDATED)"
So many healthy pitchers this year, it is kind of making me think something is awry (deal with the devil, maybe). I think that the overall physical health across the system this year is enabling the Nats brass to make bolder decisions with promotions, that are in part due to the fact that so many pitchers are successfully coming back from injuries and creating small log jams across multiple levels. This is a good problem to have.
Lots of arms to potentially evaluate at the major league level this season when the rosters expand. Seems like Rizzo needs to make some moves to clean house so that he and the rest of baseball can get a good look at what they have.
Now the Friday promo night may turn out to be fuller capacity???? especially if Voth becomes more Winchester in that
depleted bullpen for Potomac gain!!!
Time to warm up the vehicle Friday night and drive!

Today from 1p.m. to 3 p.m. the UFO meet up group will hold their monthly meeting at a new location, Healing Dynamics International, located in Scottsdale. This event is open to the general public. Come and discover your unique connection to the cosmos. Join them for a special afternoon of making contact with the Star People.
Contactees Apollo as well as Viviane Chauvet, an Arturian/human hybrid and healer, have been given specific techniques from Star Families on how to contact them psychically, bringing them within the room, allowing the group to commune with them. Spiritually they will be working with their healing energy, channeling their wisdom while working with their Star Ships which we will be hovering above the meeting hall in subspace.
According to Apollo and Viviane, many of us are actually ET souls that have incarnated in human form to aide in planetary transformation. "Our Star Families are waiting to make contact with us!" This is your opportunity to meet your family in the stars!
Vivian reports that the higher benevolent ETs are beings of light and have evolved past using physical bodies. They tell us if we want to interact with them we must meet them more on their level in our light bodies as well as using our psychic intuitive abilities to speak to them, feeling their presence.
The UFO field has many unknowns. So it is important that humanity is working with the most benevolent of the Star People. Viviane, a clairvoyant, reports that the key is to keep your vibration high to match the more evolved beings. The techniques you will learn in this meeting will assure the most positive and harmonious contact experience.
This meeting will be in a TOWN HALL/OPEN FORUM. Many of you have had amazing UFO experiences. With an open forum, this will be an opportunity to share your stories and experiences with UFO's and the Star People while learning of others shared memories.
UFO's, Aliens and Extraterrestrials, an afternoon with Star People will happen today, Sunday, June 22, 2014, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. This month's meeting only will be held at the Healing Dynamics International located at 2401 N. Hayden Road, Suite 112, between McDowell and Thomas inside the "Hayden Professional Plaza" in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The cost is $10.00 at the door.
See you there.
Practice acts of random kindness each day…it is good for your soul and helps heal the world at large.

WHITE PLAINS, New York — It may not be the worst of times for Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, but it's certainly not the best. Senator Barack Obama's 0-and-8 sweep in primary contests over the past five days has put him in the role of front-runner for the Democratic nomination, and for now at least, the big mo' is with the big O.
With that in mind, you might think former President Bill Clinton wasn't too happy when MTV News caught up with him Wednesday afternoon (February 13) as he was about to leave Westchester County en route to Washington, D.C. But not so. On the day after Obama's Chesapeake sweep, the former commander in chief was resolutely upbeat, predicting his wife would bounce back.
"Senator Obama out-raised us by a lot, so we were not able to spend a lot of money on these February caucuses and primaries, which were disadvantageous to her anyway because of the electorate in them, and in caucuses she doesn't do so well," he said. "But she won big on Super Tuesday in those big states. Then after people knew we needed money, she raised about $13 million over the Internet, which is amazing, because those are mostly working people of modest means, plus younger people coming in who believe in her."
And like most of the Clinton camp, the president is looking forward to the big March 4 primary prizes. "We'll make a good fight in Texas and Ohio," he said. "I think we'll win there, and if we do, we'll win in Pennsylvania, and I think she'll be nominated. I think that's basically what it's come down to now."
It is no secret that the former president's always-busy schedule has been even more so in recent months. His role as Hillary's superstar wingman (and occasional pit bull) has of necessity made him sacrifice some of the time he devotes to his usual day job, working with his William J. Clinton Foundation and its various activities. That includes the Clinton Global Initiative — for which thinkMTV co-sponsored a philanthropic summit last year — and the new college program CGI U, which launches in mid-March in New Orleans.
"I've cut back a little bit on foundation work" this year, he admitted, but added that his wife's campaign won't continue indefinitely. "It's not gonna go on forever. We'll probably know sometime in May [if she wins the nomination]. We'll probably have to go all the way through to May to know if Hillary or Senator Obama has the delegates to be nominated."
By May? Is that not an optimistically early projection, considering some have said this remarkably tight race might drag on until the Democratic National Convention in Denver in late August? Clinton says he just doesn't see that happening. "Oh no, no, I don't think so. But even if it does [drag on until then,] there won't be much for me to do. More and more, I'll be going back to work and doing my job. We're gonna have a CGI in Asia this year, in Hong Kong."
If Hillary Clinton does get the Democratic nod, her husband says he'll do what he can to help — but he won't be as ubiquitous on the campaign trail as we've seen him lately. "It won't be like these primaries where everything is happening at once, and you just need all hands on deck. In the general election, if Hillary is fortunate enough to be nominated, she'll be up there against, apparently, Senator [John] McCain, and that'll be the main event."
In an election year this volatile, that general election seems light years away. Stay tuned.

Where will you go
when you die?
by Cliff Walker
Most Atheists who support CRT reject the supernatural on philosophical grounds, so we know it's a trick question: you don't "go" anywhere when you die. You simply die and that's that.
When people insist that you have an "immortal soul," ask where and how the "soul" interacts with the human body. The answer, at best, reveals agnosticism. Your conscious, aware "self" depends entirely on the existence of your body, and it being healthy enough to survive.
Without a body, you're history.
Several CRT members have made provisions in their wills, to help CRT continue to survive after they cease to exist. Given a choice, we all would prefer to have the people rather than the money. But eventually, death itself is not a choice.
CRT's existence depends, in part, on continued income. Our dues and other contributions only go so far. If you want to make provisions for CRT in your will, contact Jerry.
It's a simple matter and, ultimately, it's as painless to you as death itself.

Rotary kiln is burning kiln (commonly known as rotary kiln), are building the device class. Rotary kiln by processing different materials can be divided into cement kiln, metallurgy chemical kiln and lime kiln dust for the following brief analysis of the point of failure:
The dust separated from the flue dust or dust removal device called the device. Precipitator performance to handle the amount of gas used, the gas pressure drop through the filter and when to express the collection efficiency. Meanwhile, the price of dust, operation and maintenance costs, length of life and ease of operation and management is considered an important factor in its performance.
Usage: Dust is commonly used in boilers and industrial production facilities
Filter is divided into the following five categories according to their action principle;
(1) mechanical forces, including gravity dust filter, inertial dust collector, centrifugal dust collector and so on.
(2) washing bath-type dust collector including dust, foam dust, dust Venturi tube, the water membrane filter and so on.
(3) filter and bag filter dust, including dust and other particulate layer
(4) electrostatic precipitator.

Let's talk about pairings for a second shall we….
Like peanut butter and jelly
or pork and beans….
Or how about the divine way that alfredo sauce covers a fettucine noodle perhaps?
It doesn't even come NEAR how perfectly soft squishy buns go with buffalo chicken! (just humor me)
This is a half cloud short of HEAVEN…I ain't kidding
ok Ok OK I can't stop myself…..I'm going to flip my usual format around and show ya the finished product FIRST
Just in case I haven't hooked ya quite yet….READY???
Grab a napkin…….
Aaannnd catch the drool
See that adorable little oozey dribble…..that's liquid gold honey!
This is a disgustingly simple recipe and one of the best "MAN-PLEASERS" I know!
Boneless Buffalo Chicken Burger
4 chicken breast
8 buns- soft and squishy
1 small bottle Franks buffalo style hot sauce
1/2 cup butter
condiments of your choice (mustard, mayo, ranch, BLUE CHEESE)
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
garlic salt
cajun seasoning
vegetable oil (for frying)
Cut in chicken breast in half across the middle and pound flat. ( I pound them in between freezer paper, it works well)
In one shallow pan add about 1 1/2 cups flour. In another shallow pan, combine the eggs and milk, slightly beating the eggs.
Heat several inches of oil in a pan over medium heat.
In a small pot, heat the buffalo sauce and butter over low heat and stir until blended. Keep over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Dip each chicken piece, first in the egg mixture, dredge in the flour and shake off excess….Repeat again by dipping again in the egg and finally in the flour, pressing to coat evenly.
Lower two pieces at a time into the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown. The pieces are thin so it won't take long for them to cook completely.
When chicken is crisp and golden, remove to a paper towel lined plate then onto a wire rack.
While the chicken is resting on the racks, begin frying two more pieces….keep the fry line going
Prepare the bottoms of a few buns with the condiments of choice and set on plates….I put mayo on the bottom bun and blue cheese on top, but that's just me!
With tongs, lower the two fried chicken pieces, one at a time, into the buffalo sauce and turn to coat.
When the chicken is completely covered, carefully lift it out of the sauce and allow to drip for a few seconds before placing on the bottom buns.
You can just barely make out the steam in that picture…..makes me hungry all over again!
Immediately top with a slice of your favorite cheese….fold some lettuce leaves in half and double up to make a nice lofty and crisp top to the spicy chicken.
Add more condiments to the top and then…..EVER SO SLIGHTLY….press down on the top bun!
Call them in and take a bow
P.S. This is equally amazing with coleslaw piled on top!
Signing Off,
Modern Mrs. Cleaver

Tuesday night, an incumbent and the wife of a retiring incumbent cruised to victory in their respective party's primaries.
Debbie Dingell defeated Raymond Mullins for the Democratic nomination to succeed her husband John in the Twelfth Congressional District, which includes Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and surrounding areas of eastern Washtenaw County as well as western and southern Wayne County.
Tim Walberg fended off challenger Douglas North for the Republican nomination in the Seventh Congressional District, which encompasses western and northern Washtenaw County along with a wide swath of southern Michigan extending from Monroe County to Branch County, as well as the counties of Jackson and Eaton.
With 86% of precincts reporting as of midnight, MLive reports that Dingell earned 40,119 votes (78%) to Mullins' 11,544 (22%). Dingell's showing was even stronger in Washtenaw County, with 16,951 votes (79.02%) so far to Mullins' 4,465 (20.81%).
On her Facebook page, Dingell thanked her supporters, saying that that "made this day possible." She also credited a special guest to the victory party, saying "It's been a great day, made more so by a surprise visit this evening from Governor Jennifer Granholm."
Dingell will face Republican Terry Bowman, Libertarian nominee Bhagwan Dashairya, and independent candidate Gary Walkowicz in November.
MLive also reported that Walberg was defeating North with 85% of the precincts counted. Throughout the district, Walberg had garnered 31,924 votes (79%) to North's 8,421 (21%). His lead was slightly less in Washtenaw County, where he earned 3,895 (78.39%) to North's 1,069 (21.51%).
In his statement on his Facebook page, Walberg said he was "pleased with tonight's victory. It's been a privilege to listen to and learn from the people of the 7th District. Thanks for all your support!"
Walberg will contend with Democrat Pam Byrnes, Libertarian Ken Proctor, U.S. Taxpayers Party nominee Rick Strawcutter, and independent candidate David Swartout in the general election.

Update 1/28/14: The animal control facility did eventually get a photo of TKO posted on Petharbor. Also, TKO has failed his temperament test for food aggression (evaluated with the fake hand) and he has now been deemed "rescue only."
TKO (Total knock out?) arrived to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control in Baldwin Park, Calif., on January 14.
The two-year-old bull terrier has been at the facility for six days now, but his Petharbor listing still does not have a photo.
If not for the work of a volunteer photographer who visits the facility, TKO would be nothing more than an ID number.
TKO may have an owner somewhere - unfortunately, if that individual is merely scanning the website to see if they find a photo of their dog, they will come up empty.
Please take a moment to network TKO's information to help him leave this facility.

*Alys sat, with a small metal crate in front of her. It was an exercise, as instructed by the Holocron. A jedi padawan would attempt to lift the object, usually a rock, with the Force. Starr Watched over her.
She closed her eyes, and began to concentrate. "Let the Force
through you", the Holocron said. Anger, hate, agression, those are the paths to the dark side, it said. Impaitence, frustration, the quick and easy path.
Well, she always liked to do things the hard way.
As she sat, she opended her self up to the Force. That much she learned from Starr, and her father when he had the time. She could FEEL everything around her, Starr, the Imperial patrols, the officers on the ship. She then focused on the empty space infront of her. She tried lifting it through force, but that didn't work. Not to e swayed, she tried gradually lifting it. no good.
Sithspit. She started to get angry, but then she realized what she was doing, and calmed herself. She tried again, this time simply visualizing it moving.
it worked. she opended her eyes, and saw it a good 6 ft above the ground. She started to smile, but doing that broke her concentration, and it fell tothe ground with a loud clang.
She turned and looked at Starr, who had his arms crossed She smiled at him and cheerfully waved.*

Canada Imposes Sanctions On North Korea
Canada imposed new sanctions on North Korea over its attack on a South Korean warship, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
The measures, which include a ban on trade, investment and financial services, were imposed Aug 11. but announced Monday. They were to "reinforce the message to the North Korean government that its aggressive actions such as the sinking of the Cheonan, are unacceptable," according to a statement from the Foreign Affairs and International Trade quoted by Newswires.
The Cheonan sinking last year killed 46 South Korean sailors. Canada is also barring North Korean ships and aircraft from docking or landing in the country.
The new measures are in addition to existing sanctions under the United Nations Act, the Newswires report said.

Instrumental in Arizona's first conference title ever, she averaged 14.08 assists per game in conference play, third best among the ten schools. She also finished the Pac-10 season 10th in digs (3.05 dgp) and hit .352 with 115 kills from her setter position. The catalyst for the Arizona offense, she has led the Wildcats to their most productive season ever. The Wildcats are hitting .321 as a team, a mark that ranks second all-time in Pac-10 history. She was also named to the All-Pac-10 team.
Four Wildcat teammates join Burkholder in earning conference honors. Seniors Marisa DaLee and Allison Napier were tabbed 2000 All-Pac-10 Team members, while junior Jill Talbot and sophomore Lisa Rutledge were both named honorable mention.
DaLee, a fifth-year senior from Phoenix, Ariz., becomes just the second Arizona player to be named All-Pac-10 three times in a career and the first ever to be named three times consecutively (1998-2000). Barb Bell earned All-Pac-10 accolades in 1993, 95, and 96 for the Wildcats. DaLee has led the Pac-10 in hitting all season long, never dropping below a .425 attack percentage. Against conference schools she tallied 220 kills on just 421 swings while recording a team-high 79 total blocks.
Napier had a career season in her final campaign with Arizona. The All-Pac-10 honor is the first for the Santa Ana, Calif., native. She recorded a team-high 279 kills against conference opponents this season while hitting .256. She also finished sixth in the conference with a 4.07 kills per game average and eighth in service aces with 0.53 per game. Napier was named to the All-Pac-10 Freshman Team in 1997.
Talbot, a key player in the Wildcats' overall success this season, finished sixth in the Pac-10 in hitting percentage against conference teams (.343) and was eighth in digs per game (3.08). Rutledge, an All-Pac-10 Freshman and honorable mention All-Pac-10 last season, finished the 2000 conference season with 190 kills and 147 digs.
The players were not the only Wildcats to be recognized by their conference peers. Arizona head coach David Rubio earned Co-Conference Coach of the Year honors with USC's Jerritt Elliott. Selected by conference coaches to finish a distant fourth, Rubio guided the Wildcats to the first Pac-10 Conference championship in school history, finishing the Pac-10 season with a school-best 16-2 record. In his ninth season as head coach of Arizona, Rubio led the Wildcats to the Pac-10's automatic berth in the NCAA Championship Tournament, owning the tie-breaker over co-champs USC.

The World Health Organization has issued a June 11 report on the cases of MERS, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, which were diagnosed in Iran. It also includes confirmed worldwide totals for illnesses. The WHO states that it has records for 683 cases of MERS and 204 deaths.
The two Iranian MERS cases are in middle-aged sisters. They have had no contact with camels or camel products. One of the two did have close contact with a woman who returned from a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia with an influenza-like illness.
Saudi Arabia remains at the center of the outbreak of MERS infections. As of June 10, the Kingdom was reporting 700 total cases and 287 deaths. Not all the cases have been reported to the WHO while others are being held, the agency states, pending receipt of additional information.
On June 3, the Saudis announced that a review of records has turned up an additional 113 cases of the viral illness. There were 92 additional deaths caused by MERS Co-V in that data. The Kingdom has offered no explanation for the mysterious discovery and it has released little patient data with respect to those cases.
Emblematic of the problems that the public health sector in Saudi Arabia has had in dealing with the MERS outbreak is the current controversy over two medical papers, published in two different journals, about the same data. The two papers reported on the testing of a patient with MERS and the testing of the camels that he owned.
As discussed in the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Science Insider:
The double publication—the first in Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID), the other later in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)—has pitted Saudi Arabia's former deputy minister of health, Ziad Memish, against infectious diseases specialist Tariq Madani of King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, who recently became the Saudi government's chief scientific adviser on MERS.
The Science Insider piece also reveals that the conclusions of both papers may be incorrect. The Memish paper, published first, suggested a link between camels and the patient's illness while the Madani paper made that its conclusion. Examination of the papers and the data that has been released has suggested to some that cross contamination occurred. The human samples were somehow also tested as the camel samples.
The Saudi public health and medical professionals working on the MERS outbreak have accepted the assistance of professionals from the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control. The number of human to human infections that was happening in the hospital appears to have nearly stopped. The rate of infection among health care workers has also dropped.
A great many questions remain unanswered about MERS at this time. With personnel and policy changes in Saudi Arabia, the outbreak has slowed significantly. A threat remains, as the new cases in Iran illustrate, but it appears to be far less than it appeared in April.

How much Flourish Excel to dose on a 2 gallon spec.
This is my first tank with no CO2 and I'm clueless when it comes to dosing... any help?
1 ml. Use a syringe
No. And yes. Directions say 1mL/10g, and that's fine daily. Yes, use a syringe. There's a really long thread about Excel as a treatment for BBA in the Algae forum. Basically, it boils down to long-term use of Excel over the basic recommendation will kill stuff that you don't want killed. And don't ever use the "post-water change" dosage.
Just stick with the directions. Use a small syringe, and do 0.2mL/day.
Thanks guys! Now to find a syringe! lol
For my 2 gallon, I measure by drops. 2 drops = .1 mL, the regular dose is .1 mL/gal, so 2 drops per gallon. I got a flip top lid similar to this:
and put it on my Excel bottle. Makes it very easy to dose small tanks.
I just looked at the material safety data sheet for flourish excel and it is water soluble. So you could just take the bottle, dilute it 1:10 and now it would be 1 mL per 1 gallon dosing, making it easier to dose for the 2 gallon spec.

Links can be found on the front page of uclabruins.com on the events calendar or on the 2013 UCLA Baseball schedule page.
The Bruins continue Pac-12 play this weekend as they host the California Golden Bears in a three-game series at Jackie Robinson Stadium. The Bruins have won five of the last six series against California and seven of the last nine meetings. Last season, UCLA took two of three from the Golden Bears at Evans Diamond in Berkeley. The all-time series between the two schools is tied at 170-170 and head coach John Savage holds a record of 14-10 against California in his time at UCLA.
UCLA opened their conference schedule last weekend with a three-game sweep of the Washington Huskies at home. The Bruins opened the series with a 3-2 win over the Huskies in a game that lasted 15 innings and was played over two days. After heavy fog caused the game to be suspended on Friday night, the two teams resumed the game in the bottom of the fourth on Saturday afternoon. Christoph Bono ended the game with a two-out walk-off single in the bottom of the 15th to earn the win for the Bruins. Later that night, Nick Vander Tuig threw a complete game shutout to lift UCLA to a 5-0 win over Washington. Vander Tuig scattered seven hits over his nine innings of work, throwing 126 pitches while striking out eight and walking none. The Bruins finished off the sweep on Sunday afternoon, winning 3-0 in the third and final game of the series. Grant Watson threw six scoreless innings for the Bruins while Pat Valaika led the offense by going 2-4 with two runs and a solo home run.
UCLA's pitching staff has not allowed a run to an opponent in its last 32 innings of work. The Bruins held Washington scoreless through the final 32 innings of their series, with the last run coming on a solo home run by Brian Wolfe with nobody out in the second inning of the game on March 15. Overall, UCLA's staff has a collective ERA of 2.02, which is good for seventh best in the country entering this weekend. The Bruins also lead the nation in WHIP, posting a 0.94 mark as a team. Finally, UCLA's pitchers have allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of their 18 games this season.
Junior-right hander Adam Plutko will make his sixth start of the year for the Bruins on Friday night. Plutko owns a record of 2-0 with a 2.73 ERA in five starts this season, striking out 19 batters in 29.2 innings pitched. He had his last start cut short, pitching four innings against Washington on Friday night before the game was suspended due to fog. In his last 12 starts, Plutko has a 9-0 record with a 1.58 ERA. His last loss came back on April 27, 2012 against Stanford. Plutko has twice been named to the All-Pac-12 team and in 2012, captured third-team All-America honors from Baseball America.
Junior-right hander Nick Vander Tuig is scheduled to take the mound on Saturday afternoon in the second game of the series. Vander Tuig is coming off of one of the best performances of his career, throwing his first ever complete game shutout in UCLA's 5-0 win over Washington. Vander Tuig enters this weekend's series with a 1.80 ERA in a team-high 35 innings pitched. He has given up only three walks all year, which is tied for best in the Pac-12, and has struck out 20 batters while allowing just a .218 batting average against him.
Sophomore left-hander Grant Watson will round out UCLA's rotation this weekend as he is slated to start Sunday's game. Watson, who owns a career record of 12-1 as a starter, has been outstanding through his first five starts, going 4-0 with a 1.10 ERA, which ranks fourth in the conference. Watson has also posted a terrific 0.67 WHIP thus far, which is good for ninth best in the country. Like Vander Tuig, he has struck out 20 batters and allowed just three walks in the early going. In addition, the Bakersfield native has given up only four earned runs in his five starts while allowing hitters to bat just .173 against him.
UCLA has had a total of 30 batters get hit by a pitch in its last 15 games, bringing the season total to a Pac-12 best 39 hit batters through 18 games. Brian Carroll, Kevin Kramer and Shane Zeile lead the Bruins with six hit by pitches apiece while Eric Filia has been hit five times. Pat Gallagher and Pat Valaika have each been hit four times. Overall, the Bruins have had a batter get hit by a pitch in 18 of their last 19 games dating back to last year and their 39 hit batters ranks eighth in the country. UCLA had a school record 104 batters hit by a pitch back in 2010.
After his record-setting freshman season in 2012, sophomore David Berg has continued to string together terrific performances out of the bullpen. Berg currently leads all UCLA pitchers with a 0.84 ERA, which is also good for a tie for 18th-best in the country and second best in the conference. He has also appeared in 13 of UCLA's 18 games, going a perfect 5-5 in save opportunities while striking out 27 batters in 21.1 innings. Berg led the Pac-12 with a 1.46 ERA last season, appearing in 50 games, which was one shy of the NCAA record.
The Bruins are outscoring their opponents 17-2 in the first inning and 42-11 through the first three innings thus far. UCLA is also 13-1 on the year when they score first and 8-0 when they score in the first inning. In addition, UCLA has a record of 14-0 when they score more than three runs in a ballgame. In one-run games, the Bruins are a perfect 6-0 on the season. They are also 11-0 when leading after seven innings and have won 12 of their last 13 games. Additionally, UCLA has won its last six conference games dating back to last year and the last four Pac-12 series.

The early environment, and particularly early social relationships, are crucial shapers of a child's early development. Although the parent/infant bond has existed naturally for generations, the modern science behind babies' psychological development is very complex—Lynne Murray
In an article by medicalxpress.com, June 19, 2014, the author discusses a new book, The Psychology of Babies: How Relationships Support Development from Birth to Two. The book was written by Lynne Murray, Professor of Developmental Psychology at the University of Reading. Professor Murray is internationally recognized for her work in childhood development.
Her work centers on infants whose mothers are depressed or struggling either economically or psychologically. The effects on the infants is of main concern to Professor Murray. The lack of attention these babies get from their mothers can have a detrimental effect on these babies throughout their lives. Professor Murray has found that reading to a child, having a day of just pretending, and even cooking can have a positive influence on children as early as the age of two.
She feels that face-to-face play as infants, pretend games around the age of two, then conversations concerning people and their feelings with older children help the child grow in a more emotionally mature manner which helps them make better decisions and cope with life through adulthood. She also feels that aside from parent/child relationships, the child becomes more cognitively and socially developed through childcare and interaction in social groups. She does warn that this is better in countries where the daycare system is regulated.
The findings of Professor Murray are strong indicators that children need social interaction from infancy to cope better with life's challenges. She believes that watching television together does not create the time type of bond that turning the television off and reading a book would create.
