[0001]The present invention relates to the field of centrifugal slurry pumps, and particularly, to froth pumps for handling bitumen froth.
[0002]Centrifugal pumps, as the name implies, employ centrifugal force to lift liquids from a lower to a higher level or to produce a pressure. This type of pump, in its simplest form, comprises an impeller consisting of a connecting hub with a number of vanes and shrouds, rotating in a volute collector or casing. Liquid drawn into the center, or eye, of the impeller is picked up by the vanes and accelerated to a high velocity by rotation of the impeller. It is then discharged by centrifugal force into the casing and out the discharge branch of the casing. When liquid is forced away from the center of the impeller, a vacuum is created and more liquid flows into the center of the impeller. Consequently there is a flow through the pump. There are many forms of centrifugal pumps, including the type used to pass solid and liquid mixtures. These are known as slurry pumps.
[0003]Froth pumps are a special application of centrifugal slurry pumps. The need to pump froth occurs in many mining applications where flotation methods are utilized. These take advantage of the surface tension effects between pulverized ore and fine bubbles to separate ore from the waste rock by floating one away from the other. Froth pumping also occurs in the oil sand industry the components of froth include bitumen, water, and air. In this process, a mixture of approximately 10% bitumen and 90% sand is mined directly from the ground and the bitumen is separated from the sand for conversion to synthetic crude oil. As the separation takes place, gas develops, creating a bitumen froth with approximately a 15 percent to 30 percent gas/air content.
[0004]While bitumen froth is widely pumped and much is known about the process, a number of problems exist with froth pumps themselves and the pumping process. First, bitumen froth pumps often "air lock." This occurs when gasses accumulate in the suction of the pump under the action of the centrifugal forces operating on the fluid in the passages of a rotating impeller to form a bubble which partially blocks the suction and significantly degrades pump performance (as much as 40% to 70% loss in both flow and head). With viscous flows like bitumen, this air lock can be particularly difficult to remedy due to the laminar, or near laminar, nature of the high viscosity flow. Even if the pump is stopped, the bubble can remain within the pump casing or connecting piping and be drawn back into the pump suction upon restart. Second, bitumen froth pumps cannot typically produce more than about 30 to 40 m of head, which is limited by the high viscosity of the bitumen and by the maximum speed at which the pump can be run before net positive suction head available (NPSHA) available to the pump suction falls below the minimum required to prevent cavitation in the pump impeller. This often necessitates that a number of pumps be placed in service to provide the necessary capacity for the bitumen mining process.
[0005]The present invention is directed to a froth handling pump, which significantly minimizes or eliminates the problems described herein during bitumen froth pumping. As used herein, "bitumen" refers to any of various flammable mixtures of hydrocarbons and other substances, occurring naturally or obtained by distillation from coal or petroleum.
[0006]Broadly, one aspect of the present invention is directed to a froth handling pump, which comprises either a conventional, or modified, pump casing having an inlet side and a rear (hub) side. A novel impeller has been invented, which can produce a head equal to or greater than existing froth slurry pumps, but without the application of some of the conventional methods for reducing the NPSH required, such as an enlarged suction diameter, an inducer or auxiliary impeller, etc., or by increasing the NPSH available beyond what is normally present. This, in effect, keeps the size of the froth handling pump smaller and more economical.
[0007]The pump achieves heads of 50 m at viscosities up to 3,000 cP and with NPSHA less than 10 m by application of a very high vane outlet angle. While typical centrifugal pump outlet angles range from between about 15 degrees and 40 degrees, with 20 degrees to 25 degrees considered optimal, the impeller of the present invention has a vane outlet angle of between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, with 90 degrees being optimal. Unexpectedly, the resulting efficiency is at least about 76 percent peak efficiency (with water).
[0008]The rear shroud of the impeller includes an inner face and an outer face, with a plurality of vent holes formed through the shroud for the passage of gasses to an attached de-aeration chamber. A plurality of generally radially oriented clearing vanes are formed on the outer face of the rear shroud. The clearing vanes are configured to create a pressure at the back side of the vent holes that is less than the fluid side so that vented gases are drawn into the de-aeration chamber. An outlet vent is provided proximate the top of the de-aeration chamber for venting the gases to the atmosphere or to a connecting vent line.
[0009]These and other aspects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art after a reading of the following description of exemplary embodiments when considered in conjunction with the drawings. It should be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention as claimed.

[0018]FIG. 9 is a rear view of the de-aeration chamber of FIG. 8.
[0019]Referring to the Figures in general, and FIGS. 1 and 2 in particular, the froth handling pump of the present invention is shown generally as 100. In its simplest embodiment, the froth handling pump 100 comprises a centrifugal pump casing 120, a novel impeller 140 mounted in the casing, and a de-aeration chamber 160 mounted to the rear side 124 of the pump casing 120. A conventional pump shaft 170 passes through the de-aeration chamber 160 and attaches to the hub 142 of the impeller 140. The shaft 170 is then mounted on a conventional pedestal 190 via a conventional bearing arrangement (not shown).
[0020]As shown in FIG. 2, the pump casing 120 of the froth pump of the present invention is a conventional design for centrifugal slurry pumps; however, a modified, or more open inlet side may be contemplated for a particular froth handling application. Nonetheless, the froth handling pump 100 described herein eliminates the need for a casing or shroud modification.
[0021]Referring to FIGS. 3 through 5, the novel impeller 140 of the froth handling pump 100 is illustrated in detail. As shown in FIG. 3, the impeller 140 comprises a front shroud 142, a rear shroud 144, and a plurality of pumping vanes 146. As shown in FIG. 3, the front shroud 142 is conventional for a centrifugal slurry pump; however, the front shroud 142 also may be modified for a particular froth handling application and could include a more open configuration, having a larger suction inlet diameter. As shown in FIG. 4, the impeller 140 of the illustrated embodiment comprises a novel pumping vane 146 arrangement. To maximize the number of pumping vanes 146, as shown in FIG. 4, full size vanes 146a and splitter vanes 146b are arranged in an alternating fashion about the circumference of the impeller 140. Splitter vanes, as used herein and as shown in the Figures, are shorter, thus not extending outwardly inwardly as far towards the suction eye 147 as the fuller size pumping vanes 146a. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the pump art, the number of pumping vanes are maximized within the constraints of vane thickness and minimum required passage size. It has been found, however, that the use of splitter vanes 146b helps to increase the effective number of pumping vanes 146 without "choking" the suction eye 147 of the impeller.
[0022]For bitumen froth handling applications, it has been found that a minimum passage size of about two inches is necessary. As used herein, "passage size" refers to the minimum mid-channel clearance between two adjacent pumping vanes 146. As best shown in FIG. 3, the pumping vane 146 geometry must extend between the front 142 and rear 144 shrouds of the impeller 140 in a manner that provides maximum efficiency. The inventors have found that the size of the impeller 140, and thus the overall size of the pump 100, can be minimized by employing pumping vanes 146 that have a combination of high angle outlets, for maximum head, and conventional lower angle inlets for developing sufficient NPSH performance. In the exemplary embodiments shown and described herein, an outlet vane angle may be between about 80 degrees and 100 degrees, with 90 degrees being optimal. As used herein, pumping vane 146 angles are defined relative to the tangent of the impeller circumference; e.g., an outlet angle of 0 degrees would be tangential to the circumference of the impeller, which an outlet angle of 90 degrees is radial with respect to the center of the impeller, or perpendicular to the tangent of the impeller.
[0023]While the exemplary embodiments shown herein comprise an arrangement of 12 alternating full size and splitter pumping vanes 146, other pumping vane configurations may also provide suitable head and pumping efficiencies. For the pumping vane 146 configuration having outlet angles of about 90 degrees, the inventors have found unexpectedly that a relative efficiency of at least about 76 percent may be achieved when pumping water.
[0024]As further shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of vent holes 148 are formed through the rear shroud 144 of the impeller 140. The vent holes are located for the effective venting of gases therethrough. For bitumen service, they must provide a minimum opening of about 2 inches in diameter, or if not circular, an area of about 3.14 square inches.
[0025]Turning now to FIG. 5, the principle of operation of the novel froth handling pump 100 is schematically illustrated. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, when pumping a two-phase (gas and liquid, such as froth) flow, due to the centrifugal forces within the impeller, the gas (shown as G in FIG. 5) separates from the liquid at the inlet of the impeller. This causes the gas to accumulate on the trailing faces of the impeller pumping vanes 146. As will also be appreciated, the continuous accumulation of gas during operation of the pump will eventually create "choking" of the impeller passage, resulting in cavitation and air lock of the impeller.
[0026]By providing vent holes 148 at the appropriate circumferential locations through the rear shroud 144 of the impeller 140, the gases have outlets to escape from the impeller main passage. The size, shape, and relative positions of these vent holes 148 are influenced by the quantity and relative position of the gas accumulation. In the illustrated embodiment shown in the Figures, the positions of the vent holes 148 correspond approximately to the suction diameter of the impeller.
[0027]Although the vent holes 148 provide outlets for the gaseous phase to escape, the passage of the gases must be facilitated by creating a differential pressure between the main impeller passage and the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144. Accordingly, and turning now to FIG. 6, the present invention comprises an impeller 140 having a plurality of clearing vanes 149a, 149b formed on the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144. These clearing vanes serve several purposes: (1) they assist in balancing the axial thrust of the rotating impeller, and (2) they exert the static pressure equal to or greater than the main impeller vanes to restrict the inward entry of main (liquid) flow from the impeller outlet. Additionally, the clearing vanes 149a and 149b are formed such that, as the impeller rotates, the clearing vanes 149a, 149b create a pressure at the outer face 144a that is lower than the pressure in the impeller suction eye 147. By creating this differential pressure, the gases are drawn through the impeller vent holes 148 into the attached de-aeration chamber 160. As shown in FIG. 6, the clearing vanes 149a, 149b are radially-oriented (90 degrees) and extend substantially perpendicularly outward from the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, there are 18 clearing vanes 149a, 149b, comprising 12 short vanes 149a and 6 long vanes 149b; however, the total number of clearing vanes is not critical to the operation of the froth handling pump 100 of the present invention. Rather, the number, geometry, and angles of the clearing vanes are dependent upon the particular froth handling application. By forming the clearing vanes in the manner shown in FIG. 6, i.e., with short and long vanes, the number of clearing vanes 149a, 149b may be maximized. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, it also has been found that the clearing vanes 149a, 149b may need to be larger in diameter than the pumping vanes 146 by as much as 10 percent to obtain the desired pressure differential between the impeller suction eye 147 and the de-aeration chamber 160. This means that the clearing vanes 149a, 149b extend radially outwardly further than the pumping vanes 146.
[0028]In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, an auxiliary impeller configuration 180 may be rigidly mounted on the outer face 144a of the rear shroud 144. The inventors have found that this configuration assists in creating a negative pressure relative to the pumping vanes 146. As shown in FIG. 6, the outer radius of the auxiliary impeller 180 is greater than the maximum radial position of the vent holes 148 to prevent gases from being trapped on the outer face 144a.
[0029]Turning lastly to FIGS. 8 and 9, the de-aeration chamber 160 is illustrated. As best shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the de-aeration chamber 160 has an inlet opening 162 having a diameter that is dimensioned to extend outwardly beyond the maximum radial position of the vent holes 148 in the rear shroud 144. The de-aeration chamber is thus rigidly coupled to the rear side of the pump casing 124. As will be appreciated, pump casing 120 is modified from a conventional centrifugal pump casing with an opening formed in the rear side 124 of the pump casing 120 corresponding in size to the inlet opening 162 of the de-aeration chamber 160. Thus, the de-aeration chamber is affixed by bolting or other conventional fastening means to the pump casing 120.
[0030]As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the de-aeration chamber comprises a housing 163 having an inner volume. As shown, the de-aeration chamber 160 is a passive component of the froth handling pump 100; i.e., the chamber 160 has no moving parts. As best shown in FIGS. 2, 8, and 9, an opening 165 is formed on the rear face 164 of the de-aeration chamber 160 for passage of the pump shaft 170 therethrough the chamber 160 for mounting to the impeller hub 142. At least one outlet 166 is formed for discharging the gasses from the chamber 160. Depending on the particular froth handling application, the de-aeration chamber 160 may comprise a second outlet 168. For bitumen froth handling, it has been found that the outlets 166 should be at least about 3 inches in diameter to prevent clogging and to adequately vent the anticipated volume of gasses. For the bitumen froth handling application, it has been found that the outlet 166 should be located at about 22.5 degrees or less of vertical (in either direction from the vertical) for sufficiently releasing the gasses. While not required, the outlet 166 is provided with a flange 167 so that it may be interconnected to a discharge line that leads to a location that is at atmospheric pressure suitable for discharging the vented gasses. As will be understood, the vented flow may include some liquid discharge that should be diverted to a sump or other drainage location. Further, the de-aeration chamber 160 may comprise an optional outlet 168 of the same size as the venting outlet 166 for cleaning and drainage, as necessary.
[0031]Although the present invention has been described with an exemplary embodiment, it is to be understood that modifications and variations may be utilized without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as those skilled in the art will readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

THRILLSEEKERS took on a flying feat to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
About 160 people climbed up to the roof of the Stadium of Light to zipwire across the River Wear on Saturday.
The challenge, set up by Sunderland AFC's official charity the Foundation of Light, helped to raise more than £17,000 which was split with the North East Autism Society.
Now in its sixth year, the zipwire attracted people from across the region to fly 250 metres across the river, at up to 25 miles per hour, and land on the opposite bank at Liebherr Cranes.
Speaking seconds before launching from the roof of the stadium Clare Smith, 38, of Chester-le-Street, said she decided to brave the challenge in aid of her son Corey Smith, four, who is autistic.
"I'm very nervous," she said. "I feel a bit sick, but it's all for a good cause.
"It's a great charity and that's what I'm doing it for."
Clare, along with dad Gordon Cattrell, 59, and friend Sarah Mills, 24, helped to raise about £600 for the charities. The all-day challenge saw people, including North East Autism Society ambassadors and Durham cricketers Gordon Muchall and Gareth Breese, taking to the wire every two minutes.
Head of commercial at the Foundation of Light, Phil King, said the white-knuckle event was a success.
He said: "Events like this are great for us because it gets people who just want to do the zipwire get involved in the charity.
"We have to raise about £3 million a year, so doing events like this really helps with fund-raising which we need, and the feedback has been great."
Fundraiser for the North East Autism Society, Susan Tron, said the joint event between the two charities was a good opportunity to raise awareness of autism.
She said: "We are very grateful to be involved with this event with the Foundation of Light.
"We wouldn't be able to fund something like ourselves, or attract such a number of people, and it is a great way to get our name out there."
Friends Kathryn Graham, 41, of Roker, Ashlea Corker, 34, of Seaburn, and Kelly Whelam, 37, of Fulwell, helped to raise more than £300 from their zipwire challenge.
Kelly said: "My friend did it last year but I panicked and didn't go through with it.
"This year I was determined, though.
"Our children do things with the Foundation as well, so it was a case of doing something for the Autism Society, and giving something back for what our kids get."

On April 26th, the Great Radio Marathon will kick off. Radio DJ Lennart Creël will try to break the world record for making radio. He will be broadcasting on Club FM for no less than 190 hours. With this attempt to set a new record, Lennart wants to bring attention to Make A Wish Flanders.
Make a Wish is a charity organisation that helps seriously ill children by granting their wishes.
For eight days, Club FM and Make a Wish Flanders are joining forces. They are calling on as many organisations and individuals as possible to help support this radio marathon.
"My goal with this action is to stay awake and to help grant as many wishes as possible," Lennart explains.
At BullGuard, this is also an issue that is close to our hearts. Since more and more children are relying on the Internet to have their dreams come true, we are pushing for an Internet where they can surf safely and worry-free. That is why BullGuard would like to back this project. We hope our initial donation of 1000 EUR will already make a difference for a lot of children. In addition, we'd like to celebrate the work of all 120 Make a Wish volunteers. Since they often use the internet for communication, we wanted to make sure that they can do so in optimum conditions. That is why every volunteer will receive a PC security pack.
One of the central acts during this radio marathon is Gracia Goodbye, a Belgian band that has acquired international fame from Brazil to Switzerland. They are celebrating their fifth anniversary this year, and they don't want it to pass by unnoticed, so they decided to release a new track for this campaign, called Lilly. The proceeds of this single will be donated to Make a Wish Flanders. You can download it here and make a contribution.

The College of Liberal Arts at The University of Texas at Austin has honored six students with a Dedman Distinguished Scholarship, which provides $13,000 per academic year for four years, as well as supplemental funding for study abroad programs.
The award is based on class rank, Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, exemplary extracurricular activities, community service and an interview.
The Dedman Scholars for the Class of 2012 are:
- John Russell Beaumont -- Albuquerque High School, Albuquerque, N.M.
- Christopher M. Burge -- Jesuit College Preparatory School, Dallas
- Anjali Datta -- Grapevine High School, Grapevine, Texas
- Grace Anne Jamail -- Westlake High School, Austin
- Lindsey Smith -- High School for Performing and Visual Arts, Houston
- Hannah R. Weissgarber -- Smithson Valley High School, Spring Branch, Texas
The College of Liberal Arts selection committee hosted 15 high school seniors who applied to the Plan II and Liberal Arts Honors Programs in March. The finalists attended classes, had lunch with faculty and administrators, met with Executive Vice President and Provost Steven Leslie, toured exhibits at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center and had dinner with faculty, alumni and current Dedman and Ex-students' Scholars.
"These students represent the best and brightest of their peers," said Larry Carver, director of the Liberal Arts Honors Program. "They will contribute greatly to our community during the next four years and beyond."
The Dedman Distinguished Scholarship honors Robert and Nancy Dedman of Dallas whose $10 million endowment funds the scholarships. To date, their gift has supported 123 Dedman scholars. Although the scholarships are based on merit rather than need, most of the applicants are from middle- to low-income families.

Does anyone have experience and advice for ocean swims? I'll be down in Nags Head, NC area for a week and need to keep up my training so I plan to do some swims at the beach. I've been in the Bay (Sandy Pt), but looking for tips for the ocean. I'm a little concerned about the currents.
First check to see if there are any posted warnings for rip tides or unwanted aquatic creatures. If all is clear, heading out past the breakers and swimming parallel to shore will probably be your best bet.
1. Always be at least the 2nd slowest swimmer.
2. Never swim at dusk or dawn or near seals or fish that are breaking.
3. No flippers.
4. Wear a light-colored or white bathing cap
5. Bring a friend that is slower than you (see #1).
Have fun and tell people (strangers, lifeguards, friends on the shore, basically anyone) that you are swimming and to watch you.
Ocean Intervals By The Chalupa
1. Get out to where there is a lifeguard.
2. As you jog pass the lifeguard to hit the water, say, "Good Luck trying to catch me." The lifeguard will be confused and not understand just yet.
3. Start your swim at a casual pace straight out.
4. After about 100-150 yards, you will hear loud whistles. Don't pay attention to them. It's a ploy to lure you back to shore before your intervals are done, so keep swimming out.
5. Once the whistles stop, you should check the shoreline. about this time there should be a VERY angry person grabbing a big surfboard and heading into the water.
6. Thus your first interval begins. Go parallel to the shore at a hard pace for a good hard 2-3 min. The angry person will surely be trying to cut off your path.
7. Take a 30 sec break, and then go back in the direction you came from. Again at a hard pace for 2-3 min. At which point the angry lifeguard should be right on top of you, if not stopping you.
8. Here is the tricky part. You need to get at least 4 sprints in. So when the angry lifeguard gets to you, apologize whole heartedly. As he/she is close enough, knock them off their board, and kick the board away
9. Begin you 3 rd sprint, again hard for 2-3 min.
10. Now you are probably in trouble, so let the lifeguard lead you into shore. When you are about 100-150 meters from shore, again knock them off the board, kick their board away.
11. Last sprint!!! Everything you got to get to shore, and when you hit the shore, hit is like a T1 at a race, except you will be heading for you car as quickly as possible. Don't look back and no need to peel you wetsuit, or put on a helmet.
12. This routine is not recommended to be done at the same beach with in at least 6 months. These silly lifeguards have a good memory and will try and foil your interval training.
Thanks to all!
After watching Shark Week all week I'll be looking for shark repellent in the sun screen isle before my trip!
Swim advice and tips for taunting lifeguards and strangers all much appreciated! :D Have good weekend!
You're so twisted :)

Comment from K-top on Friday, 16th December 2011
I learnt the hard way that the McGrath way is the only way. After a couple of false starts I gave my unit to McGrath to sell and the level of service and attention was second to none and I don't say that lightly.
That goes for this site as well. There was no where to go for lot owners before Cindy started this site. We have had major problems with our building and she has been out here so many times to help us I don't know how we could have sorted out our mess without her. She is committed to helping the average lot owner and her help has been invaluable.
No wonder you guys are friends. Neither of you compromise on the level of service or communication. I think it is terrific that John is making even better an already fabulous site.
Comment from Dangles on Monday, 12th December 2011
From one John to another, Welcome! I love this site and it is great to see you come on board. Thanks, I already have your investment e-book. There is so much to know about buying an apartment for the first time. I had no idea that strata was so complex. I looked at an investment apartment on the weekend and the agent said that if I bought it, I HAD to give it to them to manage.
For novices like me, it can get tricky. Any advice you can give us will be greatly appreciated.
Comment from tenant on Tuesday, 06th December 2011
Welcome John. Thanks for making the time to come here and help us. You must be crazy with all your commitments plus The Block. Like they say...if you want anything done and done properly, throw it at the busy guy!
Comment from Teddy on Sunday, 04th December 2011
Nice to see you here John. Thanks for coming on board!
Comment from Jason on Saturday, 03rd December 2011
Welcome John. Real estate help here will be much appreciated. It is a big part of strata living.
Comment from Polly on Friday, 02nd December 2011
Wow...John McGrath. Welcome on board. I am a regular to the site. I would have died of a heart attack if I didn't find this site when I did. Cindy has certainly made strata a lot easier - and less stressful - for us mere lot owners.
Can you please give the producers at The Block a smack on the wrists about changing their product from units to houses. Cindy followed everything at the Vaucluse block and now it is not strata anymore, we don't get her take. At the Block in Vaucluse, your auctioneer was the only decent one of the lot - and how embarrassing were the auctioneers last year.
So excited you are here...your certainly are a cut above the rest!

Indians quarterback Jesse Mowen threw for one touchdown and ran for another to give Waynesboro its first victory of the season. David Eigenbrode added a 26-yard field goal in the second quarter. Greg Wade did most of the damage for the Indians, rushing for 169 yards on 27 carries. Mowen's 9-yard TD scamper in the third quarter was the eventual winning points. Todde Statum had 136 yards to lead the Greyhounds, and also scored both Shippensburg touchdowns.

NEW ORLEANS -- Lawyers are negotiating a possible settlement of thousands of claims against a trailer manufacturer accused of supplying the federal government with shelters that exposed Gulf Coast hurricane victims to hazardous fumes.
While settlement talks continue, a federal judge agreed Wednesday to postpone a trial for a New Orleans woman's lawsuit against Fleetwood Enterprises Inc.
A plaintiffs' lawyer and a Fleetwood attorney said they are negotiating an agreement that would resolve all the claims that victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita filed against the Riverside, Calif.-based company and its insurers.
Elisha Dubuclet's suit claims elevated levels of formaldehyde in her family's FEMA trailer aggravated her daughter's eczema, a skin condition, and increased her cancer risks.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Bobby Seay said what happened last year to him and his Detroit Tigers teammates remains hard to fathom.
"I think we kind of let up, honestly," Seay said Thursday. "We were kind of mailing it in. We're embarrassed about last year. I know I was."
Detroit finished in last place, and Seay went from being the most effective reliever other than Todd Jones to totally unreliable. Seay had a 2.57 ERA through July, but had a 7.59 ERA during the final two months.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said an inability to throw his looping slider on the outside corner to left-handed hitters was the main problem. Left-handers batted .303 against the southpaw after hitting .246 against him in earlier years.
"I started pitching backwards because I thought guys were sitting on my slider," Seay said. "But if I can throw it down and away with break, I am going to have a successful season."
Seay was 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA in 2007, but 1-2 with a 4.47 ERA last year.
"Now, 2009 is a big deal to show that 2007 wasn't a fluke," he said.
• Laird leads new crop of Tigers catchers
• Tigers manager Jim Leyland reveals batting order
Seay also is adding a pitch.
"I'm working on a changeup and think it will be a good pitch for me," Seay said. "I don't want to live on my slider. And the big thing is conditioning myself to pitch in 60 to 65 games and not start dragging."
Guillen: Keep me in left field
Carlos Guillen said he doesn't know who will play center field in a Venezuelan outfield that also includes Detroit teammate Magglio Ordonez and Bobby Abreu. But he knows one thing for sure.
"I better play left field, because if I do not play left field I am coming back here," said Guillen, adding that he decided to play for his country in the upcoming World Baseball Classic was because of changes made in the "front office" of the program.
Left field is his new position with the Tigers after playing shortstop, third base and first base for them the past two years.
Guillen, Ordonez, first baseman Miguel Cabrera and pitcher Armando Galarraga will train beginning March 1 in Lakeland with the Venezuelan team managed by Luis Sojo. Detroit hosts the Venezuelans in a March 3 exhibition game.
"It's going to be fun," said Guillen, adding that knee and back problems that limited him to 113 games last year have healed.
Close to being the closer
Leyland isn't ready to name Brandon Lyon his closer, but comes close.
"I don't know about that," he said, "but that's what we want him for."
He said Fernando Rodney remains in contention but must display the consistency he's lacked. Joel Zumaya is a future possibility.
"Zumaya will not be the closer to start with," Leyland said. "Somewhere down the line, he could fill that role. All I want right now is him healthy. When he's not been healthy for two years, you are not going to be the closer coming out of spring training."
The manager added that Lyon, Rodney and Zumaya are assured bullpen spots.
Family loss
Leyland said he will miss Monday's practice to attend the funeral of his nephew, P.J. Miller, in Perrysburg, Ohio.

The five-person teams will carefully drag their homemade sleds to the top of the hill at Four Seasons Golf and Ski Center in Fayetteville as night falls Saturday.
They'll slide back down in the contraptions they constructed from only cardboard, duct tape and, for cosmetics, paint.
The Sled for Red fundraiser is back for year two.
The Rabin Law Firm took first prize in 2011 with a sled built like a Harley. They'll be back this year with a pick-up truck.
New additions this year include a heated tent to hold the food-and-beverage tasters, rock band Silent Fury to entertain all, and a best-cheering-crowd category.
And, yes, the hill will be open for tubing when the sleds aren't sliding.
Last year's event raised $9,298 for AIDS Community Resource programs.
WHAT: Second Sled for Red fundraiser.
WHEN: 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Four Seasons Golf and Ski Center, Route 5, Fayetteville.
TICKETS: $10 for food and beverage tasting; $10 for tubing.

Protestant reformer Martin Luther was one of many travellers to have walked over the Brenner Pass on his epic journey to Rome in 1510. A motorway and high-speed train line to Innsbruck now make light work of the distance, and the ancient towns of Bressanone (Brixen) and Vipiteno (Sterzing) are engaging places on the way to stretch the legs. Nearby is the wild protected area called the Parco Naturale Fanes-Sennes-Braies accessible via the Val Pusteria (Pustertal), a side valley off the Isarco. If you are planning to walk any of the long-distance walking trails known as alte vie (literally "high ways") you will almost certainly visit the Val Pusteria, as most of the trails launch from there. Train is the best way to reach it with a line branching off the main Bolzano–Innsbruck tracks at Fortezza (Franzenfeste) and serving the drowsy settlements of the Val Pusteria, the market town of Brunico (Bruneck) and Dobbiaco (Toblach; from where there are buses to Cortina d'Ampezzo).

These Are The 10 Most Dangerous Places In New YorkThink you know which places in New York State are the least safe? This list might just surprise you.
When many people think of New York, they automatically think New York City. And when you ask them to think of dangerous places in New York, most people would probably suggest the Big Apple… again. However, as we've seen time and time again here at the Movoto Real Estate blog, making assumptions makes… well, you know the rest. And in researching the most dangerous places in New York State, we found, once again, that our assumptions about New York City's level of danger were way off base. In fact, it didn't even make the top 10. Here are the places that did: 1. City of Buffalo
2. City of Rochester
3. City of Syracuse
4. City of Niagara Falls
5. City of Schenectady
6. City of Newburgh
7. Village of Johnson City
8. City of Binghamton
9. City of Albany
10. City of Utica
If you're wondering how in the world New York City didn't make the cut and Buffalo came in at No.1, never fear; we'll go over all of that in our next section. Then we'll take a closer look at these 10 dangerous places.
3 1.1 1,080121 Goering Ave, Buffalo
3 1.1 1,54885 Southgate Rd, Buffalo
3 1 1,7622880 Seneca St, Buffalo
2 1.1 1,302511 Parker Ave, Buffalo
3 1.1 1,736428 Tonawanda St, Buffalo
Our Methodology
Just like any of our Big Deal Lists, this ranking was created, not with our own opinions, but with research and analysis. We relied on the 2013 Uniform Crime Report from the FBI to research all of the largest places in the state of New York, in terms of the following criteria:
- Murder
- Rape
- Robbery
- Assault
- Burglary
- Theft
- Vehicle theft
We divided these crimes into four categories:
- Murders
- Violent crimes
- Property crimes
- Total crimes
Once we omitted any places in the state that didn't report data (which just happens), we were left with a total of 138 places, all with populations of 10,000 people or more. We then ranked each of these places with scores from one to 138, where the lower scores went to the more dangerous places. Next, we weighted violent crimes, murders, and property crimes to make up 30 percent of the overall score and total crimes to make up just 10 percent. Finally, we averaged each of these weighted scores into one overall Big Deal Score, where the lowest score went to our most dangerous place, Buffalo, New York. Still can't believe it? Well, we'll go over just what makes Buffalo, along with the rest of our top 10, more dangerous than the rest in the next paragraphs. And if you want to check out some more dangerous places in the state, just head to the end of the post for a look.
- This ranking is not a critique of police practices or effectiveness. It is simply an analysis of where crimes occurred.
1. Buffalo
If anyone out there is surprised that Buffalo, and not New York City, came in as the most dangerous place in New York, just remember we calculated the number of crimes per person in each place. New York City may have had a total of 194,355 crimes, but it also has more than 8 million residents. Buffalo, on the other hand, had 15,740 crimes in 2013 for its population of 258,789, giving it the third most crimes per person. Worse still were its particularly high number of violent crimes—3,249 in 2013, a staggering 47 of which were murders. This gave it the second and third most per person in these categories, respectively.
2. Rochester
In 2013, Rochester had more murders per person than anywhere else in our top 10, with a total of 42 for the year. This, plus the 92 rapes, 918 robberies, and 1,055 assaults gave Rochester a total of 2,107 violent crimes for the year—that's the fourth most per person. Additionally, Rochester had the sixth highest number of property crimes per person, with 10,051 for the year, giving it the fourth highest number of crimes per person overall.
3. Syracuse
Syracuse may be a hub for culture and education, but according to the FBI's latest numbers, it's also a hub for crime. In fact, residents in Syracuse have just a 1 in 19 chance of being the victim of a crime (as compared to, say, a 1 in 417 chance in Glen Cove, NY). The reason for this high chance of being the victim of a crime is the high number of total crimes per person—the sixth highest in the state. These crimes were made up of 6,473 property crimes and 1,192 violent crimes, 21 of which were murders. It ranked the eighth, seventh, and sixth most per person in these categories, respectively.
4. Niagara Falls
The good news is, Niagara Falls didn't rank quite as badly in the category of murders as some of the others in our top 10—it had just three in 2013, giving it the 19th most per person. The bad news is, it ranked worse than most in all other categories. For its 584 violent crimes and population just shy of 50,000, Niagara Falls had the third most violent crimes per person. And for its 2,807 property crimes, it had the second most per person in this category. All in all, this city had the second highest number of total crimes per person in our analysis.
5. Schenectady
This city in Eastern New York comes in among our top 10 mostly due to its high number of violent crimes per person. In 2013, it had a reported total of 607 violent crimes—eight murders, 31 rapes, 203 robberies, and 365 aggravated assaults. With its population of just over 66,000 people, this gave Schenectady the sixth most violent crimes per person. This, plus its 11th most property crimes per person (a total of 2,800 in 2013), gave Schenectady the eighth most crimes per person overall and residents just a 1 in 19 chance of being the victim of a crime.
6. Newburgh
Just a moment ago we told you that Schenectady had a high number of violent crimes per person—but that was nothing compared to Newburgh. This city had the highest number of violent crimes per person out of anywhere in our analysis, with a total of 435 for its population of just 28,571. These violent crimes included five murders (the fifth most per person), 21 rapes, 150 robberies, and 259 assaults. It also had a reported 1,040 property crimes, giving it the 24th most per person in this category, and the seventh most crimes per person overall.
3 2 1,262208 N Miller St, Newburgh
3 2 1,0001 Pleasant Pl, Newburgh
2 2 92445 Ellis Ave, Newburgh
3 2 1,56819 Stewart Ave, Newburgh
4 1 1,46860 Leslie Rd, Newburgh
7. Johnson City
The Village of Johnson City had 69 violent crimes for its population of 14,866. This gave it the 19th most violent crimes per person. But with 949 property crimes (828 thefts, 111 burglaries, and 10 vehicle thefts), Johnson City had the highest number of property crimes, and, therefore, the highest number of total crimes per person in our analysis. Because of this, residents had a 1 in 15 chance of being the victim of a crime.
8. Binghamton
This Broome County city ranked among our top 10 mostly due to its third highest number of property crimes per person. To be a bit more specific, Binghamton had a total of 2,349 property crimes for its population of 46,304. These included 1,767 thefts, 525 burglaries, and 57 vehicle thefts. Additionally, the city had a total of 284 violent crimes, including three murders, 19 rapes, 101 robberies, and 161 assaults, giving it the 13th most per person in this category, and the fifth most total crimes per person in our analysis.
9. Albany
In 2013, Albany had a total of 4,881 crimes, which, with its population of just under 98,000, gave it the 10th highest number of crimes per person in our analysis. These crimes included 4,090 property crimes and 791 violent crimes, eight of which were murders. It had the 13th, ninth, and 12th most crimes per person in these categories, respectively.
10. Utica
Bringing our list to a close is the City of Utica. It had a high number of crimes, pretty much across the board, with a 2013 total of 2,889. With its population of 61,686, this gave it the 14th most per person. this was made up of 2,528 property crimes (the 15th most per person) and 361 violent crimes (the 14th most). To be more specific, these property crimes included 1,997 thefts, 449 burglaries, and 82 vehicle thefts, while the violent crimes included seven murders, 27 rapes, 102 robberies, and 225 aggravated assaults.

Things are Shaping Up… For Some Places
It's unlikely you'll find anyone who'd consider New York City anything less than downright dangerous, but as our ranking shows, the Big Apple is not the crime capital it once was. In fact, it came in at No. 41. For those places that did make our list, though, don't worry. It doesn't mean they're not still good places to live, they just have a little cleaning up to do. In the meantime, if you want to move someplace a little safer, get in touch and we can do the work for you. Stay safe out there! Like This Post? You'll Definitely Love These:

The New York Times Responds to Reports of Its Outing Jason Wu
They say Wu gave them permission to mention that he's gay.
This week, Jezebel reported that a knowledgeable fashion source had learned that the New York Times outed Jason Wu to his extended family in a recent profile of the designer. "Styles"-section editor Trip Gabriel responded: "During his reporting, Eric Wilson asked both Wu and his partner, Gustavo Rangel, if it was okay to mention in print that they were a couple. They both consented." [Jezebel]

By Philip J. LaTessa
Syracuse city auditor
In 2009, I sent a letter to The Post-Standard expressing my concerns about the lack of adequate foresight going into the planning for the city school renovations included in Phase I under the Joint Schools Construction Program. At that time, the central issue was the inability of the Joint Schools Construction Board members to unite and approve a revised plan for Phase I, allowing for timely progress in crafting a plan that would move the renovations forward.
I urged the JSCB members to work together within a reasonable deadline that would spare local taxpayers millions of dollars in avoidable cost.
Earlier this year, the city administration and the Common Council were being asked to support the lease that was negotiated between the Syracuse City School District and Health Consortium-USA, the company planning on developing the old Syracuse Developmental Center property into a multi-use facility including educational space.
Based on a story carried in The Post-Standard that portrayed one of the major partners in the development team as having come under prior FBI investigation and having been accused by past business partners of taking their money and failing to keep his promises, I requested information, in an attempt to reassure myself that we were moving in the right direction. My request began a sequence of events culminating with a communication being sent instructing the developers to refuse my calls.
It became quite clear that serious efforts were being made to stonewall the Office of the City Auditor, regardless of the authority of the office. I communicated these developments to the administration and to the Common Council, noting that secrecy and obstruction were not indicators of a proposal that would be able to withstand any sincere analysis and evaluation.
Due to the circumstances, I asked for further scrutiny of the proposal submitted by the developers and accepted by the school district to ensure that the city and the district were in fact moving in the right direction.
Around this time, the district was requested to develop a "Plan B" so a fall-back plan was in place if an approved lease with Health Consortium failed to materialize. At an education committee meeting of the Common Council, the plan presented by the school district was more of a worst-case scenario, which elicited shock from several councilors.
Recent developments, most particularly the total failure of the developers to obtain the financing needed to move this deal forward, after the city entered into a lease agreement and after authorization was given by the city's legislative branch, strongly suggest that my urging to provide due diligence was ignored.
Nonetheless, the plan to utilize the former developmental center was accepted and ultimately the lease was approved and now we are hearing the details of "Plan B" as it was presented to the school board.
The plan, which is portrayed as being partly driven by the tight schedule that the city has been backed into, includes relocating students from Dr. Weeks Elementary School to three separate locations, including one site within the East Syracuse-Minoa School District boundaries.
And as in the past, the message is that we have to do this quickly to allow the renovations to Dr. Weeks to begin next year or additional delays will occur.
This community simply cannot afford to continue to make such consistently bad decisions.Ultimately, the poor decisions made throughout the process of finding sufficient accommodations for students during the renovations scheduled for the next dozen years have left us further behind schedule than we were last year or earlier in 2010. Syracuse deserves better. The time has come for the city's elected policy makers to provide it.
Philip J. LaTessa is the Syracuse city auditor.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville baseball team hosts USC Upstate this afternoon at Greenwood Field starting at 4 p.m.
The Bulldogs (12-26) look for their first ever win over the Spartans (21-15) as Asheville has lost all four meetings to USC Upstate, including a 10-8 decision in Spartanburg back on March 20.
The men of Tom Smith will start Tommy Houmard (0-2, 7.15) on the hill today. Right-hander Ben Augenstien (0-2, 7.15 ERA) is on the hill for the Spartans.
Asheville is coming off a Big South Conference series loss at home to Presbyterian College. The Dogs fell to the Blue Hose, 5-4 on Friday and Sunday. Asheville, behind the pitching of Dean Roland, won Saturday's tilt 4-2.
The Bulldogs are in the midst of an eight-game homestand. Asheville hosts Big South rival High Point at Greenwood Field this weekend starting Friday at 3 p.m.
"We had a chance to win all three games against Presbyterian this weekend but a mistake here or there on Friday and Sunday cost us," stated Smith. "We're close but we've just got to learn to win close games."
Robert McIntosh leads Asheville in hitting with a .343 average, while senior catcher Ian Graham is next at .341.
Asheville has had at least 10 hits in eight of the last nine games.
The Bulldogs have lost four straight one-run games.
Tommy Houmard has an 11-game hitting streak entering today's game. Justin Woods is right behind him with a nine-game streak. Houmard has reached base in 20 consecutive games.
Asheville is 7-10 at home this season.
The Bulldogs are 6-10 in one-run and two-run games this year.
Asheville is 11-3 when it out-hits its opponent but just 1-23 when it doesn't.
The Bulldogs went 2-0 against Big East foes this year with wins over Georgetown and Pittsburgh.

ClearTerminal 2.0
ClearTerminal is a free terminal application designed to meet the needs of Machine to Machine (M2M) wireless device developers. ClearTerminal runs in a Windows environment and works with any wireless modem.
Now in its second generation, ClearTerminal adds a long list of useful features to those that made the original version so successful at helping wireless device developers start ahead. ClearTerminal development has been driven in large part to user feedback and the real needs of our own engineering department.
The perfect launchpad for the ClearComm Platform.
One of the major reasons we developed ClearTerminal was to help us test, configure and support ClearComm, a licensable software platform we offer that jump starts wireless device software development. You can do the same.
There are two important ways you can use ClearTerminal and ClearComm together:
- To continually develop, test and demonstrate the features of the ClearComm platform
- To control, update and maintain ClearComm when deployed in the field
Plug-in system is a huge plus.
ClearTerminal is extensible thanks to the Plug-in system. This will enable ClearConnex to quickly extend ClearTerminal's current capaibilities by building plug-in modules to help customers perform bench testing, field testing, emulation and demos.
The first available plug-in is a good example; it's a GPS simulator that allows developers to test GPS solutions during the initial development phases of the project, eliminating the need to waste time doing many types of field tests.
Wireless development not your thing?
It's ours. Let ClearConnex Software Engineers use ClearTerminal as a starting point for building customer bench tests, manufacturing tests or simulation applications for you. We can even customize the core functionality of ClearTerminal to meet the precise.
Stay tuned.
We always seem to be making the news or coming up with a new way to help you start ahead and finish ahead. Sign up for our newsletter to make sure you keep up with what's up.
To find out about a licensable version of ClearTerminal, or to discuss anything you'd like about ClearTerminal, contact us now. Your feedback and inquiries are critical.

NEW ULM - New Ulm Legion Gold righthander Chase Meyer survived a three-run Prior Lake sixth inning as New Ulm Gold won 4-3 in the final Saturday game of the Upper Midwest Classic.

New Ulm Legion Gold shortstop Judd Davis makes a throw to first during Gold's Upper Midwest Classic game against Prior Lake on Saturday at Johnson Park in New Ulm.
For more photos of this event go to cu.nujournal.com
Gabe Knowles and Judd Davis each had two hits for New Ulm.
"Chase pitched a great game tonight," said Gold coach Jeremy Drexler. "He had that one bad inning but he was able to work out of it."
Gold, which was eliminated from Sunday with a 9-4 loss earlier in the day to Plover, took a 2-0 lead in the third inning.
Knowles led off with a single before Davis drove a triple to deep center field to score Knowles. Davis scored on a Nick Dewanz sacrifice fly.
New Ulm added a single run in the fifth when Wyatt Peterson legged out an infield single and scored on Knowles' RBI double.
Gold used a Prior Lake error in the sixth to add another run.
Grant Kannegiesser reached third on a throwing error by third baseman Matt Probst. Jake Gieseke coaxed a walk before Tanner Kluis' sacrifice fly brought in Kannegiesser.
Meanwhile, Meyer was holding Prior Lake, a team that had pounded out 15 hits in an earlier game, to just one hit through five innings, that being a one-out single from Kyle Manderfeld in the third.
At one point, Meyer sat down 10 straight Wizards hitters.
Prior Lake ended up getting to Meyer in the sixth. Taylor Wildgren singled and he scored on a Taylor Edwards' triple.
Tommy Kearting walked before Jonny Houston brought them both in with a double.
Meyer walked Austin Truso before he got Kyle Schmidt on an inning-ending fly ball.
Meyer then sat down Prior Lake in order in the seventh.
Drexler said he thought that his team played well for the most part besides the missed fly ball due in large part to dusk.
Gold hosts Sleepy Eye at 7:30 p.m. on Monday at Mueller Park before beginning play in the Gopher Classic on Friday. Gold will face Aurora, Colo., in its first game.

Citizen of the Week
Gretchen Wilson helps Valley stay healthy
Gretchen Wilson, who volunteers for Mount Si Senior Center, the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Auxiliary, and North Bend Elementary School, is the Valley Records latest Citizen of the Week.
As a coordinator for the Meals on Wheels program, Wilson has gone to great lengths to help get healthy food to Valley residents who are physically unable to prepare meals for themselves.
She comes in during snowstorms to make sure orders get taken. She takes a personal interest in each of the clients and goes above and beyond for them, said Mount Si Senior Center director Ruth Tolmasoff.
Wilson also leads the senior centers Huff and Puff exercise class three mornings a week to help retirees stay physically and socially active. She helps participants, who are in their 60s, 70s and 80s, tailor their program to their needs and abilities.
Everybody can get a good workout. Everybody that comes says theyre so glad theyre doing it, Wilson said, adding that the close-knit group of 20 or so seniors usually meets for coffee and conversation after class.
As a member of the senior centers board of directors, Wilson works on a variety of fund-raisers and projects.
Its just like a house; there are things that have to be taken care of, Wilson said.
Gretchens willing to tackle any kind of project, and is totally dependable. She has a lot of enthusiasm and good ideas, Tolmasoff said.
As publicity co-chair for the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Auxiliary, Wilson is currently working on the groups annual May plant sale and garden cart raffle. Proceeds will fund a $1,000 scholarship for a Mount Si High School graduating senior who plans to work in the medical field.
A former employee of the Department of Interior in Nevada, Wilson moved to North Bend after retiring to be closer to her two children and three grandchildren. Her youngest grandchild, Sam, is in the third grade at North Bend Elementary, where Wilson has volunteered to sort and shelve more than 125,000 library books since 2001.
