If Tiger Woods is too tired to play in this week's Barclays, imagine how exhausted PGA Tour officials must feel. They have spent the whole year promoting their new endeavor, the FedEx Cup, and now that it is here, they are running themselves silly trying to defend it.
And there is a lot of ground to cover. First, it was a blow that Woods decided to skip this week's $6 million tournament at Westchester Country Club, the first of four playoff events that will culminate in three weeks with the Tour Championship and a $10 million bonus to the winner of the FedEx Cup.
Then there are the various aspects to the whole concept that have left many scratching their heads and others downright perplexed, starting with how points were earned, the number of players who qualified for the playoffs, the number of playoff tournaments and the fact that the bonus will be paid as part of a player's retirement, not in cash.
All of it is enough to make some declare the entire thing a disaster.
But isn't bad publicity still good publicity?
"What would you be writing about right now if this didn't exist?" said Ty Votaw, the tour's executive vice president for communications and international affairs.
Votaw, the former LPGA Tour commissioner who helped put in place an innovative season-ending championship for the women that preceded the PGA Tour's own attempt by one year, might be excused if he seemed a bit defensive.
But he's right.
The FedEx Cup and its playoff events might be flawed -- certainly not Votaw's words -- but it is a far better alternative than what golf fans were stuck with in previous years after the PGA Championship, the year's final major.
If the tour had stayed with the schedule that was in place for most of the past 20 years, we would be about to embark on a meaningless and undramatic two months of golf.
Why? Most of the top players could not get enthused about the Tour Championship or qualifying for it. Woods and Phil Mickelson didn't even bother to play in it last year. In fact, Mickelson shut it down after last year's Ryder Cup. Both players called for a shorter season.
Once Sept. 1 rolls around, the nation's attention shifts to football, and golf tournaments -- other than the Ryder Cup -- have little chance to compete. One example: In two of the past three years, the Chrysler Championship, played the week before the Tour Championship, had the worst television ratings of the year, despite attracting the best field of any late-season event.
So the tour sought to do something about it, and did so by shortening the season by nearly two months and instituting a big-money playoff format.
The FedEx Cup might lack the buzz that some expected for a season-ending playoff series. It is missing Woods in the first event. Criticism is flying. It has plenty of obstacles to overcome and needs to make some changes going forward.
But for the next four weeks -- save for Woods' absence in Westchester -- we are going to have golf tournaments with loaded fields.
"Why is it a bad thing if you are writing about four weeks where the best players are going head-to-head against each other?" Votaw said.
It's not. In fact, four weeks in a row for that caliber of player in the same events is almost unheard of on the PGA Tour.
The tour, to some extent, needs to get out of its own way on this one. The hype for the "new era in golf" started early and often, to the point where it became annoying to even the players, few of whom understood the concept or even changed their playing habits to gear up for the season-ending stretch.
And when a tour official recently offered the example that the participants in the first Super Bowl game likely had no idea how big the game would become in the future, it seemed a bit much. The FedEx Cup is not going to be golf's Super Bowl. It will not replace the major championships.
"It's never been portrayed as more important than any other aspect of the game," Votaw said. "That's what makes the game so great. We're simply trying to add to that greatness with four intense weeks of competition."
Now the tour needs to get to work on simplifying the process. It needs to find a way to make the regular season more meaningful, perhaps by cutting down on the number of players who qualify. Perhaps the season should be broken into segments. Maybe the winner of the Tour Championship should be considered the winner of the FedEx Cup. There are many changes that can be made.
There is not necessarily a right answer. But debate is good and even criticism should be welcome.
Because at this time of year in golf, it sure beats the alternative.

Obama Email: It's Officially Over
Filed Under Politics | 8 Comments
I've never agreed with an email from the Obama campaign more:
I'm not even going to click on it and ruin the bipartisan concurrence, but we can speculate a bit. What's "officially over"? — The US economy as we knew it? The "green jobs" sham? The global warming boondoggle? Obama's chances at winning re-election? Biden's plug therapy? Tim Geithner's 100th amended tax return?
I have a feeling the "it's over" they're referring to is "don't ask, don't tell," but like I said, I'm not going to find out for sure because my presumptions are more fun — not to mention accurate.

( From previous but too important to get buried )
Peter Schiff whome Doug featured just 2 threads previos was nothing short of absolutely BRILLIANT on Greta just moments ago.
I'd been keenly aware of the end……less layers of Regulations strangling the Securities Industry so no real revelation there. What Peter mentioned though from a personal standpoint was spot on.
He said so many people don't understand why successful people can't just throw in the towel and golf the rest of their lives..? Well, he points out, this USED to be fun! Running a business was what kept a lot of us going. Well not any more!
Peter said there are days he doesn't even want to come IN to work! So for all the Progs that question entrepreneur's motivations, look no further!

Another key element Peter Schiff pointed out was… Over-Regulation has rendered many people "Unemployable". I thought that was a particularly vicious angle.
Someone gets laid off. They can't keep their license/licenses "current". No one wants to re-new your certification as a Stockbroker ( or Engineer ) or whatever and… you might as well be radioactive!
I'd have 'read' Schiff's book. If I hadn't WROTE it!

Tempered glass
This is a good introduction to the great, written with flair and a very funny article about the hardening of the glass. It is better to read if you do not want to do an ass of myself in the company :)
Screen printing
Screen printing on glass! What a bold move. You can not miss, because it is the most important article in your life.
Have so far not met with the term CHAMFERING! So it's time to learn the secrets of this thrilling and fascinating art. You will not regret it! Experience a very admiration of every woman!
Literature provides many definitions of glass or glassy state. That state is most often defined based on internal structure, namely, structure without long range order. The way basic elements are arranged in the spatial network of glass is similar to the arrangement of molecules in liquid or even gas.
These molecules are not able to move or the possibility is extremely low because of very high viscosity. From the thermodynamics point of view, glass is a non-durable material – energetic state of amorphous network is higher than its crystalline equivalent. For that reason, each type of glass tends to crystallisation, but it does not happen even after a long time for its viscosity. In normal conditions viscosity is the same as in case of crystalline solid matters. Many types of glass just never crystallises, even in the Universe time-scale.
The statement that glass is a liquid or supercooled liquid is imprecise, as, for its rheological properties, it is a solid matter. Supercooled liquid means only that the substance when cooled below its crystallisation point still remains in liquid state with all the consequences, i.e. it is still liquid and its molecules can move around – in other words – its viscosity remains low. In case of glass, both regular one with siliceous bonds and glassified metals, it is, by no means, a solid state substance. There are known many other crystalline materials that "float" much more intensely than glass and their solid state have never been denied. Sometimes, in order to justify the floating nature of glass the fact of uneven thickness of glass, e.g. in old churches' windows is raised. But the explanation is much more simple: glass produced with old-fashioned method just had no equal thickness on the whole surface. Stained glass manufacturers usually cut fragments of glass so that the thicker part – more stable – was placed in bottom parts.
Traditional glasses – i.e. such glasses that naturally transform from alloy to glassy state have short range ordered structure – it is one of the reasons why the alloy's viscosity increases significantly with the temperature drop. The phenomenon causes, in the consequence, that the material solidifies "freezing" the liquid structure inside. In other words, internal resistance is so high that it prevents its crystallisation. For alloy's crystallisation the conditions allowing the crystallisation from the thermodynamic point of view are necessary to exist and additionally, the viscosity of the alloy shall be low enough to enable molecules to move. The lower temperature the lower crystallisation ability (ability to grow crystals). In case of metals, in order to obtain the glossy state, a very rapid cooling is necessary (cooling "speed" of about 106 K/s) that will prevent crystalline structure creation.

A great deal of myth surrounds the standard Soviet medium tank of World War II, the T-34. The most important statement to debunk here is the common claim that the T-34 (or more specifically the late-war T34/85) was the best Allied tank of the war. In many areas this tank is being vastly overrated, a situation demanding correction.
As with the Tiger and M4 tanks, it is important to realize the situation into which the tank was first introduced. The T-34/76, the earliest version of this medium tank, was first encountered by the Germans during one of the last phases of Operation Barbarossa in late 1941. At the time, the thickness of its armour was unprecedented for medium tanks; more importantly, the slope of the tank's armour made the real thickness encountered by incoming shells much greater than the sheet of metal actually was. Even though the T-34/76's armour was not impressive at all by late-war standards, at first it made the tank almost impenetrable to contemporary German medium tanks, most importantly the PzKpfw III. Moreover, the T-34's 76.2mm gun was quite a bit more powerful than most contemporary tank guns and made the T-34 fully capable of knocking out German tanks at great distances. Once again, as when faced with British Matilda II tanks and Russian KV-1 heavy tanks, the Germans had to fall back on their trusty 88mm anti-aircraft gun to knock out the T-34.
This great firepower and near invincibility of the T-34/76 naturally triggered many a myth about the new Russian tank. It must be remembered that even in 1941 it wasn't the first Allied tank to be able to meet German tanks on equal terms; several French and British tank types had preceded it in this role, as had the Russian KV-1. The fact remains, however, that in 1941 and arguably in 1942, the T-34/76 was the best medium tank in service anywhere. Note that already in 1942 this claim is becoming debatable, with the introduction of new German and Western Allied tanks of comparable quality (new versions of the PzKpfw IV and the M4 Sherman). These tanks enjoyed superiority in such fields as sights, crew comfort, reliability and industrial finishing. The most important fact that decreased the continuing efficiency of the T-34, though, was its failure to keep up with enemy tank development through upgrades.
While both the Sherman and the PzKpfw IV went through substantial upgrades throughout the war to keep up with tank developments, the T-34 saw only one truly notable upgrade: the new T-34/85. This tank is widely claimed to be the best medium tank of World War II, but on several points that can be disputed.
- The tank's new 85mm gun was no better than the standard German anti-tank piece of the late-war period, the 75mm L/48, and neither was it superior to the American 76mm M1. Its only advantage was a more powerful high explosive shell, at the price of a decrease in ammo storage capacity.
- The T-34/85's hull armour was never upgraded throughout the war and remained 45mm thick, which by the end of the war had become quite unsatisfactory. Most German guns of the period could penetrate twice as much at ranges of up to 1000 yards. Another important point is the fact that the tank's armour material was too hard, making it brittle; the crew was in serious danger from armour flakes flying around inside the tank when it was hit, even if it wasn't penetrated.
- The tank was notoriously unfriendly to its crew; it was cramped and uncomfortable, even though the new turret did solve the problematic sight-blocking turret hatch of the T-34/76.
- The T-34, in all versions, was notoriously noisy – more so than other tanks. No stealth operations or surprise attacks were to be organized with this tank's loud and distinctive engine and track sound.
- This tank was a mass-produced vehicle in the most literal sense; no attention was paid to details in the design, so the welds were crude, paint often not applied at all, suspension a rag-tag of available wheel types, and the engine was unreliable.

RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah seated Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at his side to welcome leaders to a summit on Wednesday, an apparent conciliatory gesture before the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation suspends the membership of Iran's ally Syria.
Foreign ministers of the 57-member body have already agreed to suspend Syria over President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on protests. The decision, which requires support of two thirds of members and is strongly opposed by Tehran, is expected to be implemented on Wednesday at a summit called by Abdullah in the holy city of Mecca.
Syria's civil war has divided Muslim countries on sectarian lines, with Sunni-led Arab states and Turkey backing Syria's rebels, while Shi'ite Iran supports Assad.
Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shi'ite Iran have tussled for influence in recent years in sectarian conflicts across the Middle East. In giving Iran's leader such a prominent place at the summit - shown on Saudi state television - King Abdullah was making what analysts described as an important gesture.
"It was a message to the Iranian nation and, I assume, to the Saudi people, that we are Muslim and we have to work together and forget about our differences," said Abdullah al-Shammari, a Saudi political analyst.
Ahmadinejad, wearing the dark suit and shirt without tie favored by Iranian leaders, sat at the left hand of the octogenarian king in his traditional Arab robes. The two were shown talking and sometimes laughing together.
As each of the leaders, including those of major Middle Eastern and South Asian states, arrived in the entrance chamber, Abdullah rose to meet him followed by Ahmadinejad.
The emir of Qatar, which like Saudi Arabia has voiced support for Syria's rebels, sat on Abdullah's other side.
Analysts had billed the summit as a potential showdown between Iran and Sunni states led by Saudi Arabia over Tehran's support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his 17-month suppression of a popular uprising.
"I think Abdullah is trying to tell Ahmadinejad that whatever Saudi Arabia wants with regard to Syria is not going to be directed against Iran," said Saudi political scientist Khalid al-Dakhil.
Riyadh has called for Syrians to be "enabled to protect themselves" if the international community cannot protect them, and has excoriated Assad's use of force against civilians.
Iran has echoed the narrative of Assad's government that the country is being torn apart by "terrorist gangs" supported by Sunni states and the West.
Riyadh has also accused Tehran of fomenting discord in the Gulf by backing a popular uprising among majority Shi'ites in Bahrain against the Sunni monarchy there and stirring unrest among Saudi Arabia's own Shi'ite minority.
Tehran denies responsibility for unrest and accuses the Sunni states of crushing Shi'ite dissent.
Analysts said the move to place Ahmadinejad next to Abdullah was intended to soothe sectarian ill will across the wider Middle East.
"King Abdullah was showing Shi'ites: we haven't tried to skip over you and ignore you. And he was showing to Sunnis here that here is Ahmadinejad and he is a Muslim too. He is not different to us," said Shammari.
That message was reinforced in Abdullah's opening speech to the conference, in which he proposed setting up a center for dialogue between different Muslim sects.

Our experience of Shared Parental Leave
When we found out that we were expecting our first baby, we decided that I wouldn't write posts about Little One on my blog. We both felt that we didn't want photos online, and I wasn't really keen for this to become a Mummy blog when there are so many great ones out there already! But we decided to make an exception with this post to tell you all about our experience of Shared Parental Leave. We don't know anyone else who has done it and when we tell other people about it, it seems like a lot of people don't realise that it's an option. The whole experience has been so positive for us that we wanted to share our experiences, explain how it works and point you in the direction of some useful resources if you're thinking that you might want to share your leave.

Recently I bought this amazing lip balm. It was about £4, it's quite expensive to pay only for lip balm, but it's worth. After the first use I was very regret that I bought it, but now I'm just inlove with it. My lips becomes very soft. The white part in the is the moisturizer that makes my lips flawless. I can't remember what the pink area actually helps. I recommend this lip balm for all who have dry and damaged lips. It's amazing!
Maybe you can tell me about your lip care products? Let me know :)

ok so on February 7th my family is going to the movies but i dont want to go to that one so i want to take a girl to see another movie with me. Am i able to ask now or is this to far in advance?
Most Helpful Girl
I guess asking her right now should be fine. She'll have enough time to think about it and she might reserve that day to spend time with you. You'll probably be marked on her calendar!10|10|0
If say someone asked you to the movies two weeks in advanced you would be fine with that?
- Show AllShow Less
Did she tell you why? :/
Yes! She said no because she had bball practice and couldnt miss it.

This application is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 08/599,630, filed Feb. 9, 1996 (now U.S. Pat. No. 5,702,435) which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/178,510, filed Jan. 7, 1994 (now U.S. Pat. No. 5,522,870), which application(s) are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for obtaining fast changes in the temperature of a variable temperature element, and to the use of such method and apparatus. More particularly, the invention is directed to a method and apparatus which permit to cool a given area in the cryogenic range, and to heat the same area to relatively high temperatures, within very short periods of time, and vice versa.
The ability to cause fast changes in temperatures, particularly between very low temperatures and room or higher temperatures, on a desired surface and at a desired location, is of practical importance in many uses. Fast temperature changes can be exploited, for instance, in the treatment of various materials, for sealing or surface curing purposes, etc.
Cold and hot surfaces are used also for medical uses. For instance, cryogenic techniques are employed to destroy malignant tissues, or for plastic surgery. One example of such a use is presented in U.S. Pat. No. 774,549, which relates to a thermal treatment of biological tissues by passing heat carriers through a cryosurgical probe. The method is said to be useful in the cryo-surgery of the human brain. This method, however, involves passing a heat carrier through a surgical probe, its subsequent heating and repeated passage through the probe. Acetone or alcohol are used as the heat carrier. Prior to its passage through the probe the heat carrier is either cooled to -70�-75� C., or heated to +70�-90� C.
Devices of this type present severe drawbacks, inasmuch as they have long lags in temperature changes, they require cumbersome heating/cooling apparatus outside the probe, and are complicated and expensive to use.
Cryosurgical instruments having both cryocooling and heating capabilities are also known in the art. One such device and its medical use have been described by Andrew A. Gage "Current Issues in Cryosurgery", Cryobiology 19, 219-222(1982), at pp. 220-21!. The device described therein was cooled by liquid nitrogen and electrically heated, to provide hemostasis. The electrical heating, however, by its nature is a relatively slow procedure.
Another device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 1,217,377, which exploits the expansion of gases through an orifice. However, simple expansion of gas through an orifice provides relatively slow temperature changes, and the changes in temperature are relatively mild. Thus, for instance, in the device of U.S. Pat. No. 1,217,377 it is not possible to liquify nitrogen. Additionally, this prior art device employs helium at room temperature which, expanding from a pressure of about 300 atmospheres, will attain a heating of merely about 30� C. In any case, in the single pass expansion described in this reference, liquefaction of nitrogen cannot be achieved. However, helium has an inversion temperature of about 45K, which renders it possible to employ neon or hydrogen as the second gas, as is done in this reference. The highest inversion temperature of neon is about 200K, and of hydrogen is about 180K. Accordingly, these gases cannot be used while using nitrogen as the first gas, because the temperature of liquid nitrogen is 80K, and thus the heating obtainable with neon and hydrogen is low. Additionally, neon and hydrogen may be found at an inversion temperature lower than their maximal temperature, so that no heating is obtained. However, neon is expensive and hydrogen is dangerous, and the obtainable temperatures are unsatisfactory for many uses, which accounts for the lack of success of the above-mentioned device.
Prior art devices and methods have so far failed to provide simple and effective fast temperature changing means which can be used in order to exploit the potential of cryogenic techniques, in industry and in medicine. It is therefore clear that it would be highly desirable to be able to exploit such methods in as many as possible applications.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method by means of which a fast and periodic change of surface temperature, even down to cryogenic range, can be created, at the desired location, in a simple and effective manner.
It is another object of the invention to provide a device exploiting the method hereinafter referred to as "probe", for the sake of brevity), which is simple and inexpensive in construction and in operation, and which overcomes the drawbacks of prior art devices.
Other objectives of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds.
The method for creating a surface having a fast changing temperature, according to the invention, comprises providing a heat exchanger coupled to an orifice opening into a jacket which is in contact with the surface to be heated and cooled, the said jacket forming a reservoir capable of housing a fluid in contact with the surface to be heated and cooled, and providing two gas sources, each gas source being independently connected to the said heat exchanger, one source providing a first gas, which liquefies when it expands through the said orifice, and the other gas source providing a second gas, having an inversion temperature lower than the temperature obtained by the liquefaction of the first gas, and causing the exhaust gas flowing out from the said jacket, to flow through the said heat-exchanger to preheat or precool the inflowing gas, as the case may be, and further causing the said first and the said second gas alternately to flow through the said heat exchanger and orifice, to cool or to heat the said surface; means being provided for allowing and stopping the flow of each gas through the said orifice.
The selection of appropriate gases to be used according to the invention is crucial. For instance, the maximum inversion temperature of helium is 43K. Thus, even when somewhat precooled by boiling nitrogen at 77.3K, it still will warm up when undergoing Joule-Thomson expansion. Furthermore, providing a preheating or precooling of the inflowing gas is not just a matter of efficiency or saving, but is an essential part of the invention, since processes and devices employing a one-pass heating or cooling, without utilizing an exchange of heat via an appropriate heat-exchanger, will not provide sufficiently low or sufficiently high temperatures, and will result in a temperature change which is excessively slow. As stated, the fast change from one extreme temperature to the other is an essential feature of the invention.
Heat exchangers can be of any type, and may be, e.g., a finned tube heat-exchanger of a porous-matrix heat-exchanger, e.g., of the type described in British Patent No. 1,422,445. The device described in this British patent provides only for the cryocooling of the probe, the purpose being to maintain the temperature of the probe below -80� C., thus avoiding altogether the need for heating the probe. It should be mentioned that, according to the teachings of this patent, heating was necessary, when operating at temperatures above -80� C., for the purpose to prevent the probe from sticking to the tissue. However, when operating according to the invention, with fast cooling-heating cycles, the heat exchanger can be utilized also for heating purposes.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the fast change in temperature is periodic. In another I)referred embodiment of the invention the fast change is controlled and effected at the time selected by the operator.
According to a preferred embodiment of'the invention, the first gas is selected from the group consisting essentially of argon, nitrogen, air, krypton, CF4, xenon and N2 O, and the second gas is helium.
Cryogenic liquefaction occurs at the tip of the cold extremity of the device operating according to the invention as will be more fully explained hereinafter, under the cooled metal surface. The Linde-Hampson method is applied, using the Joule-Thomson effect for cooldown to liquefaction.
The invention also encompasses an apparatus for the cryocooling and the heating of surfaces, comprising:
1) a heat exchanger coupled to an orifice, the said orifice opening into a jacket;
2) a jacket which is in contact with the surface to be heated and cooled, the said jacket forming a reservoir capable of housing a fluid in contact with the surface to be heated and cooled;
3) two pressurized gas sources, each gas source being independently connected to the said heat exchanger;
4) means for allowing and stopping the flow of each gas through the said orifice.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the pressurized gas sources are gas reservoirs containing gas under pressure. According to another embodiment of the invention, the gas sources comprise one or more compressors, which draw gas from a reservoir containing gas at a lower pressure than desired.
The surface which is heated and cooled may have any desired shape. According to one preferred embodiment there are provided changeable elements which are mounted on the jacket, having different shapes, according to the use which it is desired to make of the probe.
It should furthermore be understood that for some uses it is important to obtain a high frequency of temperature change, while it is less important to reach extreme temperatures. Thus, for instance, one may which, for a given application, to oscillate between temperatures of -50� C. and +100� C. only. As will be understood by the skilled person, limiting the upper and or the lower limit of the desired temperature permits to oscillate between them much more quickly, and the invention also comprises providing such quick oscillations with non-extreme and non cryogenic temperatures. Of course, the skilled engineer rill be able to select the appropriate gases to be used for a given application, depending on the temperatures which it is desired to use.
The invention is also directed to a method of selectively destroying a plurality of cells of a living organism, comprising bringing into contact with the surface where the cells to be destroyed are located, a probe according to the invention, and causing extreme temperature changes to take place at the contact surface thereof. It should be noted that, unlike the methods of the prior art in which heating was performed by electrical means, to obtain cauterization, or for avoiding the sticking of the probe to the cells, according to the invention the change in heating is an essential part of the method, and is this change which, apart from the advantages mentioned above, permits to control the depth of penetration of the cold front, and to provide the temperature shock to the cells.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the treated surface is the epidermis. According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the treated surface is the human brain or eye.
Also encompassed by the invention is a method for generating a fast cyclically change of temperature, said method comprising sequentially cooling/heating of a surface by alternate gas supply to a Joule-Thomson liquefaction device.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an apparatus according to the invention, which is used to illustrate the method;
FIG. 2 is a detailed representation of a probe, according to one preferred embodiment of the invention, shown in cross-section;
FIG. 3, shows the results of a heating/cooling experiment carried out with the probe of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is the result of heating experiments;
FIG. 5 schematically shows a portion of a finned tube;
FIG. 6 is a schematic cross section of a device according to one preferred embodiment of the invention, the heat exchanger being shown;
FIG. 7 schematically shows a probe according to one preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 8 schematically shows a probe according to another preferred embodiment of the invention.
Looking now at FIG. 1, numeral 1 generally indicates a probe, comprising a heat-exchanger 2, an orifice, 3, and an isolated jacket 4, which together constitute a Joule-Thompson device. Two gas reservoirs, 5 and 6, containing gas under pressure of about 40 MPa are connected to the said heat-exchanger 2, via line 7, through one-way valves 8 and 9, and on-off valves 10 and 11. Alternatively, two compressors can be provided, to compress the gases of reservoirs 5 and 6.
When an on-off valve (10 or 11) is opened, gas flows through line 7 into heat exchanger 2, and exits orifice 3 to form a cryogen pool, indicated by numeral 12. Probe surface 13 is either cooled or heated by this pool, depending on the gas used at the time, and cools the surface of the object schematically indicated at 14, which is brought into contact with it.
The design of a probe, according to one embodiment of the invention, is more fully illustrated in FIG. 2. An isolating sleeve 15 houses the various parts of the probe, which include a steel encapsulation 16, containing a cryocooler 17. High pressure gas is supplied through a supply line 18, and expands through an orifice (not shown). The hot or cold gas creates a pool 19, which is in contact with the heating/cooling surface 20, which is the surface used to apply cold and heat to the treated body. An additional sleeve 21 is provided for holding the cryocooler 17 in place, and the exhaust gas leaves the probe through the empty space 22 therein.
FIG. 5 schematically shows a segment of a finned tube 23 of a heat exchanger used in connection with the invention. The fins 24 are distributed along the tube. Gas at a high pressure, P1, flows within tube 23, towards orifice 25, while exhaust gas, at a lower pressure P2, flows across the tube, as shown by the arrows.
In FIG. 6 the heat-exchanger is seen to be made of high pressure tubes 23, with fins 24, which are contained within an inner mandrel 26 and an outer mandrel 27. Gas backflowing from the cooled or heated surface 20, indicated by arrows B, flows into the heat-exchanger and comes into contact with the outer surface of the finned tube 23, thus exchanging heat with the gas flowing within it.
As stated, the invention can be exploited in a variety of medical uses. Some of the advantages obtained with the invention are:
a. Living cells destruction is more effective when operating with temperature cycles than when using cryogenic probes, as done according to the known art, which only cools the affected area.
b. Because temperature cycles are applied, the low temperature front does not penetrate too deep into healthy layers of the human body, in contrast to what happens when prior art cryogenic probes are used. Therefore, longer treatments of a superficial affected area are possible, according to the invention, while reducing the damage to healthy cells. In other words, the depth of cold front penetration is limited and controlled by the cycling frequency and, furthermore, it is independent of contact duration.
As will be appreciated by persons skilled in this art, by harmonic surface temperature profile, the depth of penetration obtained is proportional to (α�τ)1/2, α being the thermal diffusivity and τ the time period. This is known, e.g., from H. S. Carslaw and J. C. Jaeger, "Conduction of Heat in Solids", Chapter 2.6, Clavendon Press, Oxford, 1959.
c. At the end of the treatment cycle the probe can be heated to a temperature where there is no adhesion of the epidermis to the probe surface. Thus superficial damage is avoided, in contrast to what happens when attempting to remove a cool cryogenic probe from the skin.
As will be appreciated by the skilled person, probes according to the invention can be made of varying sizes for different uses, ranging from very thin probes to relatively large area probes, because the heating/cooling device can be accomodated even in very small volumes since no space-consuming parts are required such as electric heaters. Thus, for instance, FIG. 7 illustrates a flat, large area probe, such as may be suitable, e.g., for treatment of the epidermis or for non-medical applications. FIG. 8, on the other hand, shows a thin, pointed probe, such as may be used for penetration, e.g., into the liver for cancer therapy.
Looking at FIG. 7, and using the same numerals as in FIG. 6, for ease of understanding, the cooled and heated surface 20 is positioned near the heat-exchanger tubes 23, located between an inner mandrel 26 and an outer mandrel 27. Gas flows to the probe extremity through gas pipes located within outer sheat 28, which may contain two or more pipes, as well as electric wires, if desired. Pneumatic and electric connections can be effected, e.g., through connector 29 (the connections not being shown in detail). Flow of gases is controlled, according to this particular embodiment of the invention, through push-buttons or switches 30, positioned on the probe holder, so that the functioning of the probe is easily controlled by the user without having to shift the hand and without stopping the operation. Control lights 31 can also be provided, to indicate, e.g., when the heating or cooling gas is flowing, or when the operation of the probe has been altogether stopped.
Similarly, in FIG. 8 a thin probe is seen, in which the contact surface 20 is pointed and not flat. Because of the thinness of the probe, the inner and outer mandrels are reduced in thickness, and are not shown for the sake of clarity. The probe holder 32, in this embodiment of the invention, can be located far from the pointed end of the probe, and can also be provided with buttons and indicating lights (not shown), as in FIG. 7.
Of course, many different shapes and sizes of probes can be provided, depending on the use for which they are intended, and the examples given above are only provided for the purpose of illustrating two of the possible different probes.
The invention will now be further illustrated through the following examples.
The device described above was used in an experiment in which heating-cooling cycles were generated, and the temperature obtained at the surface (13) of the probe was recorded. The diameter of the heat-exchanger exchanger (2) was 5.2 mm, and it was kept under vacuum in excess of 100 Pa. The diameter of the orifice was 0.12 mm.
Helium at 10,000 psi (680 atm) was employed. Nitrogen was at 6000 psi and its flow rate was about 50 GLPM.
Heating was effected from room temperature, until a temperature of 120� C. was reached, after which the gas was changed and the probe was allowed to cool down to -190� C. The cooling and the heating times were almost the same, and the total cycle took about 30 seconds. This, as will be appreciated by the skilled person, is a surprisingly short time for such a cycle, which can hardly be obtained with prior art devices. The results are shown in FIG. 3.
The same probe as in Example 1 was tested for fast heating. Under the same conditions as described with reference to Example 1, the probe was allowed to heat up to 170� C. The result is shown in FIG. 4, from which it can be seen that heating from room temperature to 170� C. was achieved in 6.5 seconds. This result illustrates the effect of the inversion temperature, and proves that heating can be obtained using helium. The experiment was also repeated with a temperature limit of 205� C., and comparable results were obtained, with a heating time of 12 seconds.
All the above description and examples have been provided for the purpose of illustration, and are not intended to limit the invention in any way. Many modifications can be effected in the various parts, shape and construction of the device of the invention. Likewise different gas pairs and gas mixtures can be used, and different low and high temperatures exploited, all without exceeding the scope of the invention.

JSC KazMunaiGas Exploration Production says that the Kazakhstan tax authority has completed their desk audit of KMG EP which commenced in September 2014 for the period between 2009 and 2012. Following the audit, the tax authority has charged an additional 18.2 billion tenge, imposed a penalty of 9.7 billion tenge for late payment and a fine of 10.2 billion tenge. The Company is going to appeal the claim in the near future.
KMG EP made a tax provision of 16.7 billion tenge in the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2015 mostly related to tax audit of the Company for the period between 2009 and 2012. The provision has been made following discussions with Tax authorities in respect to this tax audit, as it is more probable than not that the Company will ultimately be unsuccessful in defending previously established tax positions.

When last seen at a New York track, Mandy's Gold was a speed-crazed filly who folded at seven furlongs, a quality that would have led to sure defeat in yesterday's mile-and-a-sixteenth Ruffian Handicap at Belmont. That left the trainer Michael Gorham with one option: come up with a new plan.
Mandy's Gold won the Ruffian, but not without some major assistance from her trainer. Gorham, a regular at Delaware Park who had never won a Grade I race, needed three weeks to teach his filly to rate. Yesterday, sitting last after You and Raging Fever had set a spirited pace, she circled the field under Jose Santos and drew away to a two-and-a-quarter-length victory over You. Shine Again was third.
Gorham said he would take a serious look at the Breeders' Cup Distaff on Oct. 26. Mandy's Gold, the longest shot, paid $19.80 on a $2 bet to win and covered the distance in 1:42.57.
In the six-furlong Floral Park, Carson Hollow, with John Velazquez aboard, beat up on three opponents and showed herself to be a candidate for the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Another candidate for the Sprint emerged from the Jerome, a one-mile race for 3-year-olds. Boston Common spurted clear and had plenty left to win by five lengths over Vinemeister. In the Belmont Breeders' Cup Handicap, Startac upset Volponi. Bill FinleyContinue reading the main story

The storm has been and gone, but that doesn't mean it's all over. After the drywall in the house has been torn out and the furnace, hot water heater, fuse panel and washer and dryer have been replaced, it's time to focus on the tools, hardware and spare parts that got wet.
If you're like many people, your tools were probably stored in the garage along with a lot of your spares. Anything on a low shelf was particularly vulnerable. If it was cardboard or paper, sadly, it's history. In the case of metal parts, oxidation or rust has probably already started.
Considering how expensive good tools are, it's important to try to save them as soon as possible. One drawer at a time, pull them out, and wash them in a weak solution of warm water and car wash soap or another mild detergent, with a tablespoon of baking soda tossed in to help neutralize the salt. The next step is to rinse them carefully in clean water and then dry them thoroughly. Finally, spray them with a light coating of a spray lubricate such as WD40 and then wipe them again and set them aside.
Work methodically, drawer by drawer, paying special attention to hinged tools such as pliers and vice grips. Make sure you're generous with the lubricating spray. Don't forget the little things like Allen Wrenches, punches, drill bits and files. If any wooden-handled tools don't appear to have a polyurethane finish, a light coating of lemon oil or mineral oil will keep the wood from drying out.
With everything out of the tool box, pull out the drawers, wash them each and rinse them. Wipe them down with more of the WD40 and be sure to oil all rollers or hinges. Before the drawers go back in, it's time to clean the entire box, rinse it and give it that light coating of WD40 before wiping it again and putting everything back together.
We all focus on the tools in our big red or gray boxes, but there are other tools that probably fared even worse. Your floor and bottle jacks, jack stands and ramps were probably sitting on the floor and were underwater for some time. It's essential to take the stands apart and to wash them carefully before rinsing them and coating them with wax. Hopefully the valves on the jacks were fully closed. If they weren't you'll have to drain the hydraulic fluid and replace it with fresh and hope for the best. The bodies and all other parts of the jacks should be washed with a mild soap or detergent, rinsed by hand and then dried and waxed. Be sure to lubricate the wheels and any moving or sliding parts while raising and lowering the jack. Cleaning and protecting the stands is a simple task and will, hopefully, prevent rust.
Any tools with electric motors, from a simple hand drill to a lathe, can be severely damaged from exposure to either fresh or salt water. Oxidation of connections and wires can begin immediately. In most cases, don't even try to use the tool without giving it some serious attention first. Machinist Mike Gehron says that machine tools can be saved, but that the motors will need to be properly rebuilt by a specialist, which you can find be searching the Internet for "machine tool repair" or "electric motor repair." It's also important to make sure that the casing for the motor and all other parts is cleaned and lubricated.
Unfortunately, moderately priced power tools, like drills, bench grinders and orbital polishers may be cheaper to replace than repair. Check with your local electric motor repair shop or with the manufacturer to explore your options.
Keep in mind that the better the tools, the more they're worth saving. That cheap Walmart tool kit may not warrant hours of work, but the Craftsman and Snap-On Tools will last for years more if you take proper care of them.

Haven't been keeping up with the development of Project CARS for a while but decided to download the latest build to have a look. Wow, some really nice tracks and cars. This French Riviera drive with the Super 7 is fantastic. Love the handling, sound, and the Buttkicker feels great too. Only missing the wind buffeting and the feeling you get in your tummy when going over jumps. Hope they introduce some normal cars, not just race cars so we can go for virtual Sunday drives and not just go round and round race tracks. Is this the PC version of GT5? Food for thought. www.yipzone.com

Islamabad [Pakistan]: Political parties in Pakistan condemned India for raising the issue of Balochistan at a meeting convened by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday to discuss the security situation amid growing tensions with India and increased ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC).
"We condemn India's documented interference in Balochistan, a federating unit of sovereign Pakistan," said a joint statement issued after the meeting.
The statement added, "We express Pakistan's continued and unwavering support to provide political, moral and diplomatic support to the people of 'India occupied' Jammu and Kashmir in their just struggle for self-determination."
It also called upon the United Nations Security Council to interfere in the Kashmir issue.
"Recognising the UN Security Council's implementation of its resolutions on self-determination for East Timor and South Sudan, we urge the international community, especially the P5, to take concrete steps for implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions for the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people."
The statement added that Pakistan is engaged in an unprecedented war against terrorism and violent extremism, and reiterated the country's resolve to implement the National Action Plan.
It also rejected India's "false" claims of terrorism across the LoC.
The meeting was attended by leaders of all political parties, including Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) among others. (ANI)
