HOUSTON and DALLAS, Oct. 3, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armada Oil, Inc. (OTCBB:AOIL) (" Armada Oil") and Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:MSEH) (" Mesa Energy") announced today that they have entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to pursue a business combination. The closing of the business combination is subject to further due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, as well as necessary consents and approvals. The Board of Directors of both Armada Oil and Mesa Energy have unanimously approved the key terms of the proposed transaction and have authorized their respective management to pursue the transaction. The non-binding Letter of Intent provides that Armada Oil would issue 0.325 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Mesa Energy in exchange for each Mesa Energy common share, representing an approximately 134% premium to Mesa Energy's most recent close of $0.168 on October 3 rd, 2012. The proposed transaction would result in the current holders of equity securities of Mesa Energy owning approximately 57% of the combined company common stock, and the equity holders of Armada Oil owning approximately 43% of the combined company common stock (each on an actual basis, without giving effect to conversion or exercise of any convertible securities, options or warrants), prior to the effect of any future capital financing transactions by either company. The surviving entity will retain the name of Armada Oil, Inc. and will be headquartered in Dallas, TX. Management of the companies believes that this contemplated transaction has several benefits:
- It would bring together a sound, proven management team with both operational and public company experience;
- Strong conventional, producing assets would provide cash flow and an underlying value to combined shareholders;
- A low-cost entry into the Niobrara play with multiple underlying conventional prospects would leverage the combined company to significant upside;
- The combined company would also have an attractive foothold in the Mississippi Lime play in Oklahoma; and
- The combined company would have critical mass to help raise capital efficiently, facilitate liquidity and spur rapid growth, thereby creating a solid platform to recognize value for shareholders.
- Executive management will consist of three senior management members from Mesa Energy (Mr. Randy M. Griffin, Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Ray L. Unruh, Chief Operating Officer; and Ms. Rachel L. Dillard, Chief Financial Officer) and one senior management member from Armada Oil (Mr. James J. Cerna, Jr., President).
- The new Board of Directors will consist of five legacy directors: Mr. Randy M. Griffin (Chairman), Mr. Ray L. Unruh, Mr. James J. Cerna, Jr., Mr. David J. Moss, Mr. Kenneth T. Hern, and two additional independent members to be mutually agreed on and selected.
- It is anticipated that following the closing of the merger Armada Oil will conduct a reverse stock split to the extent necessary to facilitate the listing of Armada Oil's common shares on a national exchange such as the NYSE MKT (formerly the NYSE-AMEX).

Oil rose to around $108 a barrel on Wednesday, recovering from a three-month low, on hopes the United States would continue with its stimulus programme and that the European Union would reach a last-minute deal to bail out Cyprus.
Cypriot leaders were holding talks in Nicosia after parliament on Tuesday rejected the terms of a European Union bailout. The finance minister, in Moscow trying to secure a loan agreement, said he had not reached a deal on financing with his Russian counterpart.
Brent crude for May rose 58 cents to $108.03 a barrel by 1022 GMT after a near 2 percent drop to a three-month low in the previous session. U.S. crude for April was up 52 cents to $92.68.
"Clearly, market players anticipate that an alternative solution will be found for Cyprus," said Carsten Fritsch, analyst at Commerzbank. "Nonetheless, the uncertainty surrounding this issue is likely to continue to keep oil prices in check in the short run."
Crude also gained support from Tuesday's American Petroleum Institute (API) report showing a surprise decline in U.S. crude inventories. Investors will be looking to government figures due out later on Wednesday for confirmation of the move.
On the technical charts, Brent faces its first upward resistance point at $108.50, said Olivier Jakob, oil analyst at Petromatrix. Support levels to watch on Wednesday are $107.50 and then 107.00, he said.
The uncertainty about Cyprus's finances has revived concern about the stability of the euro zone and of the downside risks to global economic growth.
The U.S. Federal Reserve is wrapping up a two-day meeting on Wednesday and appears set to sustain its $85 billion monthly bond-buying stimulus, despite improving U.S. economic data.
"The Fed is unlikely to start winding back stimulus until the economy is improving at a good clip," said Ric Spooner, chief markets analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney.
Any signs of a tighter monetary policy could strengthen the U.S. dollar, which was weaker on Wednesday. A weaker dollar tends to support the price of oil and other dollar-denominated commodities.
As well as the Fed's policy statement, oil traders are awaiting weekly oil inventory figures from the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration for a snapshot of supply and demand trends.
Tuesday's API report showed U.S. crude stocks fell by 413,000 barrels last week. Analysts expected them to rise by 2 million barrels.

Tim McGraw: Tour Crew Is 'Working Their Butts Off'
Tim McGraw is spending his summer crossing the country with his good friend, Kenny Chesney, on their Brothers of the Sun tour. But while the entertainer says their schedule might be challenging for the next few months, he admits that the 283 people who work behind the scenes have it much, much worse.
"It's pretty big," Tim tells Nashville's Tennessean. "It's a pretty heavy travel schedule for those guys. It's not a heavy travel schedule for Kenny and I because it's Saturdays and Sundays for the most part, but the crew are working their butts off on this."
The tour, which includes 20 buses and more than 80 tractor-trailers covering almost 20,000 miles in travel, took plenty of planning and coordinating. While Tim acknowledges that their own personnel did much of the work, he and Kenny also hashed out a few details themselves, mostly in New Orleans over football games. But one aspect of the show that could have been a major bone of contention — choosing which of the two superstars would close the show — was a surprisingly easy decision.
"For me, that wasn't a difficulty at all," Tim notes. "Kenny has gone out and done this kind of tour for years, and it just made sense that I would go first."
Tim, who recently joined the Big Machine Label Group after settling a legal battle with his former label, Curb Records, is hard at work on his first album for the label.
Keep track of all of the Brothers of the Sun tour dates here.

A shopkeeper has launched a campaign against a new express supermarket which he fears will kill off his business.
Prakash Gandhi, who runs the Canons Park Newsagents, in Station Parade, Whitchurch Lane has raised concerns over the possibility of a new Tesco supermarket opening.
He fears the new supermarket, which would take up two units in the parade, will severely affect his business.
He said: "We have been here for more than 30 years and if this Tesco was to come it would really hurt our trade.
"It will take business away from us and other small independent shops because people will be able to get everything in one place.
"We have been here for so long and we know all the local people and we provide a personal service.
"If it does come here then I don't know what will happen to the business and we just don't know if we will be able to survive."
Suspicions were raised by traders when planning permission for changes to the site of the proposed store were submitted by a planning consultant firm known for dealing with Tesco applications.
Councillor Husain Akhtar, member for Cannons ward, said: "I have given my support to the traders in Station Parade as I think a new Tesco will hurt their trade.
"It would increase congestion and worsen parking issues around the area."
No application has been submitted to the council for a new supermarket but a spokesman for Tesco said: "We are looking to open an Express store on Station Parade in Canons Park.
Our Express shops are really popular with customers because they offer a wide range of products in a convenient location.
"We know from experience that our stores give shoppers another reason to stay and shop locally rather than driving elsewhere and in many cases help other local businesses grow."
He added 20 jobs would be created from a new store and any opening would be subject to planning application and consultation with the nearby community.

MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi arrested, shifted to Nirmal police station
January 8, 2013 - Hyderabad
MIM legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi was arrested by the Hyderabad police on a dramatic day after he was made to undergo medical tests at the Gandhi hospital. Akbaruddin has arrived from London in the early hours on Monday and sought four days time to appear before the Nirmal police citing medical reasons. Akbaruddin is facing a number of criminal cases for the alleged hate speech he gave in Nizamabad and Nirmal.
After his arrest late Tuesday, Akbaruddin Owaisi was shifted to Nirmal in Adilabad district amid tight security. The MIM party supporters tried to thwart police attempts to arrest the legislator, both at Gandhi hospital and at Nirmal police station. They raised anti-Government slogans.
The police officers began questioning Akbaruddin after he was brought to the Nirmal police station. Akbar was accompanied by his younger brother Burhanuddin Owaisi and his lawyer. Burhanuddin is the editor of Urdu daily 'Etemaad'.
Security was beefed up in the old city in Hyderabad and other sensitive areas of the capital city. The police invoked prohibitory orders in several parts of Hyderabad. Akbaruddin underwent 11 tests by a team of doctors who declared that he was fit to face the investigation. However, the lawyers of Akbaruddin alleged that they were not given the reports. Akbaruddin was said to be suffering from hernia and pains due to a bullet in his body.

Cabbage that is wilted and turning black in places. Carrots that are limp and turning black with mold growing at the end where the leaves were. Obviously cutting off the affected areas does the residual vegetable retain it's nutritional value?
Gina Crome
Fruit and vegetables begin losing nutritional value as soon as it's harvested from the plant. This happens as a result of oxidation or exposure to oxygen. Oxidation is one of three common factors responsible for decreasing the nutritional value in foods; with the others being heat and water-both of which are typically encountered during the cooking process. Vitamins C, E, and A are particularly vulnerable to oxidation during storage. Produce can lose as much as 25% of these nutrients in about 5-6 days (Gil, 2006).
Most fruit and vegetables should be stored in the refrigerator with temperatures below 40° F (USDA, 2012). Visible signs of aging can occur such as wilting or discoloration after 4-5 days in storage. These are not only indicators that the produce has lost its peak of flavor, but also some of its nutritional properties as well. Cutting off the affected area doesn't improve nutritional value, therefore it's best to simply use or freeze produce within a few days of purchase to ensure you're getting the most nutritional bang for your buck. Another option to consider is purchasing a combination of fresh and frozen produce. The fresh produce should include items that you are certain to use within a few days of purchase; while the frozen items can be reserved for future meals. This will allow a bit more flexibility in meal planning and potentially eliminate wasted produce.

Pulmonary Hypertension
What is end-stage PH?
My mother age 59 recently diagnosed with PH secondary to pulm. embolis due to past dvt. She has a Vena Cava Filter. Her treatment is only oxygen and coumadin. She is retaining 80 lbs water and right sided retension. She is also morbidly obese 426 lbs,diabetic,high blood pressure as well.Her Echocardiogram showed Pulmonic Valve poorly seen,Mitral annular calcifications,mild to mod. mitral regurgitation, Left ventricle ejection fraction 55%, Right ventricle moderatly enlarged systolic pressure 70mmHg, Atria right moderatly enlarged,atrial septum bulging into left atrium. No shunt seen. IVC not seen well.
Advanced pulmonary hypertension is when the patient develops right heart failure from it. I do not like to use the term end stage unless we have determined the cause, and the patient has worsened despite appropriate treatment. Sounds like your mother may have pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure from chronic clots in the lung; the treatment for this is blood thinners and surgery, unless there is something else contributing to the pulmonary hypertension.

- BSO Case Number: 10-1703-001165
- PIO Number: 17-3-7
- Date: March 8, 2017
- Time: 8:58 a.m.
- Place of Occurrence: 700 W. Hillsboro Blvd., Deerfield Beach
- Jurisdiction: Deerfield Beach
- Arcenio Alvarez, 32, male, 11/18/84, 4911 Freedom Circle, Lake Worth (DECEASED)
- Jonathan Schuler, 32, male, 7/26/84, 2107 N. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach (IN CUSTODY)
Description of Incident:
Just before 9 a.m., deputies responded to a report of an assault at a construction site at 700 W. Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach. A member of a construction crew, later identified as Jonathan Schuler, fatally assaulted a fellow worker, Arcenio Alvarez, with a metal crowbar from the work site. Homicide detectives are trying to discover what led to the seemingly unprovoked attack.
Despite working at the same work site, the two men worked for different companies. It is unknown if they had ever met before. Alvarez was an employee of N&P Demolition, a subcontractor on the site. Schuler was a day laborer who was contracted only for the day.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue transported Alvarez to Broward Health North where he died at 9:21 a.m.
Schuler is a resident of Palm Beach County but has two prior arrests in Broward County. In 2006, he was arrested for driving the wrong way on a one-way, failure to display vehicle registration, violation of driver's license restrictions, resisting arrest without violence, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of MDMA with intent to sell and possession of cannabis. In 2008, he was arrested for violating his probation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Broward Sheriff's Office Det. John Curcio at 954-321-4212. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org.

Daily supplementation with iron (60 mg) as ferrous sulphate
|Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Dietary Supplement: iron
Daily supplementation with iron (60 mg) as ferrous sulphate
Detailed Description:
As per recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO), iron supplementation in children should be restricted in malaria-endemic areas because of concerns that it can lead to an increased burden of malaria. Universal iron supplementation continues to be recommended, however, for women during pregnancy and 3 months postpartum. Observational studies have shown that iron deficiency in parturient women is associated with a marked reduction in the prevalence and density of malarial parasites in the placenta. Plasmodium infections in pregnant women have devastating effects on the foetus and neonate, causing low birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm delivery, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth and neonatal mortality. Based on our previous work, the Kenyan government is currently drafting legislation for mandatory iron fortification of industrially milled flour. Implementation of the new fortification policy means that pregnant women will receive iron through a combination of fortified foods and supplementation. The investigators are concerned about the safety of the high iron intake resulting from such a policy.

The basic concept behind WinFrame is simple. Citrix licensed NT Server from Microsoft and modified the kernel components to let multiple users concurrently sign on to an NT Server system. Then Citrix invented a protocol called Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) to transport screen, video, and mouse information between the server and a client system. The client system can be another computer running client-side ICA software, or it can be a Windows terminal, which is a terminal-like device that supports the ICA protocol.
Originally there was WinFrame, and that was that. But WinFrame did not address all of the needs in the market. Specifically, WinFrame did not support connections from X terminals. To address that market segment, Citrix licensed WinFrame to Tektronix, NCD, and Insignia. These three companies then added support for the X11 protocol (as well as other bells and whistles) and marketed their WinFrame variants under different names (WinDD, WinCenter, and Ntrigue, respectively).
Separately from Citrix, another company, Prologue, also licensed NT Server and produced a multiuser version that supports only X terminal clients. This product is called WiNTimes. As in the case of WinFrame, Prologue licensed its technology to several companies, so WiNTimes is available from Exodus as Nterprise and is available from several other companies. See Mark Smith, "Thin Is In," September 1997 for more details on multiuser NT variants.
The one element all multiuser NT products have in common is that they are based on the 3.51 version of NT Server. Microsoft refused to license the NT 4.0 code to Citrix and Prologue and instead launched a full-scale effort to deliver a multiuser version of NT Server. To accomplish this goal, Microsoft licensed technology from both Citrix and Prologue. Thus, when the Microsoft multiuser product, Windows-based Terminal Server (formerly code-named Hydra), comes to market, it will be based on NT Server 4.0 and will feature core technology adapted from Citrix and Prologue. Citrix and Prologue will then be in a position to sell add-on products to Hydra to extend its functionality.

text:
I can imagine Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in Seattle this morning, reading the Justice Department's antitrust lawsuit on a gigantic Kindle Fire XL prototype, and grinning ear to ear, savoring every word.
When he's finished, the grin comes off his face but lingers around his eyes. He quickly sets the tablet down, takes a sip of water, and says, to anyone and no one: "Okay. Let's get to work."
Between the DOJ's lawsuit against Apple and publishers and the settlement three of five publishers have already agreed to, I'd go so far as to say that Bezos is having an even better week than Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom.
Sure, Systrom might be pocketing as much as $400 million in cash and stock from Facebook's acquisition. But Systrom and his team have to figure out what to do with that windfall. They're a tiny startup who suddenly have to answer to someone else. Now under Zuckerberg and with millions of new users, they have to figure out what's next for them and their product. And what's next for them is far from clear.
Jeff Bezos knows exactly what to do next. Jeff Bezos doesn't have to answer to anyone any more. Everyone else, including his most powerful counterparts across the negotiating table, will have to answer to him.
Amazon as the returning hero
Officially, Amazon's response to today's news is fairly measured. "This is a big win for Kindle owners, and we look forward to being allowed to lower prices on more Kindle books," writes Amazon spokesman Drew Herdener in an e-mail.
But if it's "a big win for Kindle owners," it's a huge win for Amazon. If you read the text of Justice's proposed settlement with e-book publishers, it sounds like an argument for Amazon's business model.
The settlement gives Amazon everything it wants in its dealings with publishers, and enshrines it as part of an agreement with the federal government, and compliance with antitrust law.
With publishers who agree to the settlement, Amazon will have the right to set final prices of e-books for customers, including the right (within some limits) to set those prices below cost. It enshrines Amazon's ability to charge publishers for promoting their e-books and to factor those costs into its total balance sheet with each publisher. It allows Amazon to stagger negotiations over time, so that it can't be pressured by every publisher asking for better terms all at once.
Sure, Amazon loses the ability to negotiate its own most favored nation agreements with these publishers — but the agreement prohibits those publishers from establishing such an agreement with anyone else. Ultimately, Amazon's market share let it pursue lower margins than its most robust competitors, so that's a net win for Amazon, too.
In short, the settlement forces publishers who agree to it to go back to the negotiating table with Amazon while systematically taking away every piece of leverage those publishers have had — whether ill-gotten or not.
At the level of perception, too, Amazon comes off in these documents as a positive protagonist. It is not the tough-as-nails, dominant player in the e-book market that we all know Amazon to be. Instead, they are a white knight, nobly pursuing the interests of customers against an illegal cabal of fearful publishers and a predatory Apple.
Amazon's beneficence even extends beyond its own customers: "consumers benefited from Amazon's $9.99-or-less e-book prices even when they purchased e-books from competing e-book retailers," reads the Justice Department's report.
"Quickly, Amazon came to realize that all Publisher Defendants had committed themselves to take away any e-book retailer's ability to compete on price," according to the report. "Just two days after it stopped selling Macmillan titles, Amazon capitulated and publicly announced that it had no choice but to accept the agency model."
We even learn (without much supporting evidence) that's Amazon e-book sales have always made a profit for Amazon, and that publishers were primarily motivated by well-justified fears that Amazon would soon becoming a publishing powerhouse of its own and put them out of business. You know, just in case shareholders were worried that Amazon was too noble.
Meanwhile, Apple, darling of both Wall Street and the blogosphere, get its dirty laundry thrown in the street.
The limits of the DOJ's suit and settlement
What's left out of the Justice department's lawsuit might be even better news for Amazon than what's included. There is no broader look at any of the anticompetitive vagaries of the e-book market beyond publishers' negotiations with retailers in the period before and after the launch of iBooks.
The suit blasts most favored nation agreements without noting that Amazon has aggressively pursued MFN agreements with publishing partners, including partners whose books it sells wholesale. It's completely silent on retailers' and device manufacturers' use of DRM to lock customers into a single bookstore. Amazon is purely a market innovator, not a budding monopolist, even as the DOJ notes that Amazon's pricing power helped determine pricing power across the industry.
Blogger Mike Cane wrote a powerful email to attorneys at the Department of Justice listed in the lawsuit titled, "Dear DoJ: You Need To Sue Apple Again." It cites Apple's in-app purchasing rules that prohibit Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble and other retailers from offering books for iOS devices on the same terms that Apple can offer in iBooks, without browser workarounds.
This, Cane says, "is every bit as much restraint of trade as the collusive price-fixing that made the Department bring Apple and its co-conspirators before the court for remedy."
But it's actually great news for Amazon that the DOJ isn't opening up restrictions on in-device purchases. Once thrown, that stone bounces back to hit Amazon in the face right away.
Not only does Amazon not permit purchases from other e-book retailers on its Kindle devices, it doesn't permit them to read e-books from other retailers on its devices, at least if they're sold with DRM. And even Apple blocking other retailers from selling directly through iOS apps indirectly helps Amazon. As the biggest retailer on the web, boasting the biggest e-bookstore, Amazon's web site becomes the natural second choice for most customers, if not the first.
Android's permissive policy even allows Amazon to offer its own app marketplace on unforked non-Amazon Android devices. Now, Amazon offers its own in-app purchases, which just like Apple's program, takes a 30% cut.
So the Justice department's findings turned out to essentially justify Amazon's business model. Publishers setting fixed prices across all stores bear the sole blame for driving up e-book prices, and are tossed out. Device manufacturers locking in customers with hard or soft restrictions? Perfectly acceptable.
Bezos, a libertarian, has probably never had more reason to love the federal government than he does today. The only thing that could have made this better is if sales tax on Amazon purchases were permanently waived forever.
Bezos should send Eric Holder a Christmas card. And start calling the Attorney General "Santa Claus." He got everything on his wish list more than eight months early.

Going Where Others Can't
Kathy | November 1, 2007
As a number of Louisiana refineries are finding, flexible sensor technology can deliver an especially cost-effective way to measure temperatures almost anywhere in a system.
As a systems integrator that services refineries and chemical plants in Louisiana, we have found our customers' biggest maintenance headaches come in the area of temperature sensor replacement. Rigid temperature sensor technology, used inside thermowells for 20-50 years, is the nightmare of every maintenance department. Problems using rigid sensors include stocking difficulties, finding suitable replacements, ordering the correct length and size, and being unable to install a replacement sensor in an existing thermowell.
Flexible temperature sensors, on the other hand, offer a universal solution for all maintenance dilemmas. A flexible sensor fits nearly everywhere, can be cut to the correct length and reduces the number of spare parts a plant has to keep on hand.
Rigid sensor challenges
A standard rigid temperature sensor, made by virtually every sensor manufacturer in the world, consists of a sensor element—thermocouple (T/C) or Resistance Temperature Device (RTD)—protected inside a rigid stainless steel shaft in a 2" sensitive area, forming what most users know as a "fixed length sensor" (Fig. 1). These fixed length sensors are either spring loaded (for use with thermowells), welded to a hex nipple for a fixed immersion length into a process or sealed with epoxy, exposing the sensor leads for external measurement connections.
Typically, the T/C or RTD element is embedded inside the bottom two inches of a stainless steel tube, which is then filled with mineral insulated powder (MGO) and sealed with epoxy to prevent moisture penetration. The rigid sensor assembly fits into the thermowell beneath the connection head. The wires from the sensor are then terminated in the enclosed head and connected to extension wires using a terminal block, or attached directly to a transmitter. Wiring is then run back to the control room, usually encased inside conduit for long wire runs.
The first problem posed by rigid sensors is the difficulty involved in replacing a faulty sensor. Typically, a maintenance technician has to remove the enclosure cap, disconnect the wires from the transmitter or terminal block, disassemble the union, conduit and fittings attached to the transmitter and thermowell, and then move them out of the way before he or she can pull the rigid sensor out of the thermowell. Depending on the age of the installation, the corroded conditions of the conduit or junction, and the amount of room available, this can be an arduous task, particularly on the top of towers or columns, or in close confinement areas.
The next problem involves determining the correct length of the replacement sensor. In many cases, a maintenance technician may know that the sensor needs to be replaced, but doesn't know the exact length of the rigid sensor. If the loop is critical, the plant may not want to pull out the old sensor yet. Instead, they will make all the necessary measurements first, order a new sensor and wait for it to arrive. In that case, the technician will have to make multiple visits to the sensor—first to determine as much information about the installation as possible, including sensor type, connection style (nipple union nipple, direct thread, lagging length, approximate insertion length, etc.)—and then go back to stores to try to find a best fit, probably returning with a number of different sizes to avoid a third trip. Of course, the unused sensors then have to be returned to stores (another trip)!
In some cases, the technician leaves the old system intact, gets on the phone to a sensor representative, and the two of them make an educated guess based on a thermowell's length, size of the union, length of nipples, etc. At least one sensor manufacturer we deal with admits that they only get it right about 85% of the time when they have to guess. Another solution is for a maintenance tech to carry 8-10 spare sensors out into the plant, in hopes that one of them will be the right size. All this could be avoided, of course, with proper documentation—that is, the size and type of each temperature sensor should be recorded for future reference when replacements are needed. This, however, can be a daunting task, considering that some plants have hundreds, if not thousands, of temperature sensors. Plus, engineering drawings do not always represent the "as built" installation.
Once a replacement sensor is found, ideally it will slide back into the thermowell. Unfortunately, thermowells can cause other problems. Some thermowells will "sag" (bend) when exposed to high temperatures over prolonged periods, as is the case with flare stacks (Fig. 2). It may be possible to extract the existing sensor from a sagging thermowell, but it is usually impossible to install a new rigid sensor into a sagging thermowell. Instead, the thermowell itself must be replaced.
Thermowells also can accumulate debris, which makes it difficult to install a new replacement sensor. In areas with high humidity, such as Louisiana and other southern states, thermowells can fill up with assorted contaminants that condense out of the air. When the rigid sensor is removed, this debris can then prevent a new sensor from being fully inserted back into the well.
Finally, the length of a rigid sensor can affect accuracy of the measurement: A rigid sensor inside a short, 2"-3" thermowell may not be measuring the correct process temperature. This is because a sensor with a rigid metal sheath is not measuring just the process inside a short thermowell; some of the sensor's sheath protrudes up into the nipple, union or enclosure, which is outside the process. Such a sensor actually measures part of the process temperature and part of the ambient temperature outside the process. This situation typically will result in erroneous temperature readings with possibly adverse effects on process control. In one case at a tire plant, the lower inaccurate reading resulted in higher process temperatures that, in turn, caused the thermowells to overheat and sag. Sagging thermowells resulted because the actual temperature was much higher than the sensor could record.
Flexible solutions
Even if an application spec calls for a rigid sensor, a flexible sensor can fill the requirement. A flexible sensor typically consists of a 1" stainless steel sensor element and lead wires that are protected either with Teflon or fiberglass insulation. Flexible sensor wires can be trimmed to the correct length depending on assembly (Fig. 3).
The sensor element is held in place with a spring at the top of the thermowell (Fig. 4). The spring keeps the sensor in constant contact with the bottom of the thermowell, allowing the best heat transfer to the sensor. If there are large open areas within the union/nipple junction, spacers can be used to facilitate insertion through these areas.
Replacing a flexible sensor in the field is much simpler, compared to rigid sensors. To insert a new flexible sensor in place of an existing one, a technician only has to remove the cap, disconnect the sensor wires, remove the transmitter or terminal block and pull out the old sensor. It is not necessary to disassemble the union, conduit or any other fittings.
Because a flexible sensor can be trimmed to the correct length, a technician only has to carry a single sensor to the field. Flexible sensors typically are available in various lengths to accommodate nearly every size of thermowell or application a plant may have.
In the case of a sagging thermowell, if the rigid sensor can be removed, a flexible sensor can be installed without replacing the old thermowell. We usually purchase flexible sensors that are slightly smaller in diameter than rigid sensors. The most popular rigid temperature sensors built in the U.S. have a ¼" (0.25") O.D. metal shaft. Most thermowells installed today have a 0.260" internal bore (in Europe a 7mm bore is used). We order flexible sensors with a 6mm O.D. (slightly smaller than 0.25"), making it easier to slide into a sagging well or into dirty thermowells that have built-up or caked-on debris inside them.
Because a flexible sensor has a 1" sensor with flexible fiberglass or Teflon insulated lead wires and a spring, it can be trimmed to fit even the smallest of thermowells. Furthermore, since the spring and lead wires cannot conduct ambient temperatures to the sensor, outside measurement errors cannot exist. Like the previously mentioned tire plant, we've had several applications on other flare stacks where we installed flexible sensors and the process engineers were surprised to see that their stacks were operating at much higher temperatures than the previous rigid sensors had indicated. The energy and fuel cost savings obtained from operating these stacks at the proper temperatures paid for the replacement sensors many times over.
Intriguing applications
Flexible sensors offer several interesting ways to approach temperature measurement applications and their problems. For example, the intense humidity in Louisiana causes "Green Rot" at the wire termination points with thermocouples, so engineers and technicians try to avoid as many termination points as possible. Because a flexible sensor can be made with any length of wire, we now have several plants in the area that do not use terminal blocks anymore; instead, the wires are run directly to temperature transmitters located in a separate cabinet. The sensor wires are run inside rigid or flexible conduit, all the way from the thermowell to the remote mounted transmitter, without using any intervening termination blocks. This eliminates one major source of failure.
Another plant noted that since the sensor wire did not carry any dangerous voltage or current, it was not necessary to encase it inside conduit. Therefore, all their sensor cables run directly from the thermowell to a remote transmitter without conduit (Fig. 5). The flexible insulation covering the sensor wires is sufficient to protect it from most environments, but stainless steel braid or flex armor can be added at very little cost.
In one application, a plant had a burner with dozens of temperature sensors, but none could be replaced without shutting down the entire burner. It was simply too hot for a tech to walk into the burner while it was operating. By using flexible sensors inside long protection tubes attached to the points of measurement, it was possible to slide a flexible sensor in and out of the tube from a safe location without shutting down the burner.
In a similar situation, a refinery had a problem with calibrating and replacing sensors with transmitters on top of columns or towers. It was physically dangerous for a tech to climb to such heights while the hot process was running, and try to safely work with rigid conduit, fittings and transmitters. This refinery replaced all its rigid sensors with flexible units and installed the transmitters at the bottom of the towers for easy access. Again, because a flexible sensor can be made to any wire length, the transmitter could be calibrated or replaced from the bottom of the tower, and the flexible sensors were easier to change out if they failed.
Adding up the savings
Over the last year, several refineries in Louisiana have begun systematically replacing all their rigid temperature sensors with flexible sensors because of the cost savings they expect to gain.
- Maintenance will be easier, take less time and cause fewer shutdowns or process interruptions.
- Fewer thermowells will have to be replaced because of sagging or foreign debris that clogs the wells.
- Only two or three standard sensor lengths will be needed for an entire plant, reducing the spare parts inventory.
- The refineries will get better measurements in shorter thermowell applications, leading to increased accuracy and energy savings.
Although conventional rigid temperature sensors have proven to be a workhorse for the past 50 years, modern flexible sensors are now starting to replace them across Louisiana.

Gov. McDonnell Denies Wrongdoing After FBI Questioning
RICHMOND, VA - Governor Bob McDonnell denied he gave a Virginia company any special treatment Tuesday. Still, the FBI is involved launching an investigation, according to two anonymous sources.
The company is Star Scientific, a dietary supplement company. According to the sources, the FBI has questions about gifts the McDonnell family got from Star Scientific's CEO.
Late Tuesday afternoon, ABC 13 spoke with the FBI in Richmond, as well as the U.S. Attorney's Office Eastern Division. Both said they can not confirm nor deny the FBI is investigating the governor.
Two anonymous sources paint a different picture, though. They said FBI agents have asked questions about gifts the McDonnells have received from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams, and whether the Republican governor or his administration aided the company in return for those gifts.
The allegations started swirling after a securities probe into Star Scientific. Tuesday, ABC 13 asked Politico what this could mean for a future McDonnell presidential run.
"He's denied all wrong-doing. But in the future, if this investigation reveals more links to wrongdoing, particularly with violation to campaign finance laws, this could have a lot of trouble for him, especially as he weighs a possible 2016 run for the White House," said Kevin Cirilli, a Politico reporter.
Late Tuesday afternoon, ABC 13 got a statement from Star Scientific. It reads in part: "Our company neither sought nor received any special benefits from any public official."

Post 'The Voice' talent show, Egyptian singer, Sherine Abdel Wahab, had been twiddling her thumbs, searching for the next big gig. The star was said to be thrilled when she landed a job presenting the popular Ramadan riddles show, 'Habshatkanat' [2].
Solving riddles is a tradition for the holy month and although Sherine was worried about making her mark, she was reportedly keen to get back to the TV screens.
So fans were shocked when producers announced this week that the Egyptian coach had been elbowed out of the job in favor of Lebanese megastar, Haifa Wehbe [3].
Haifa is known for her razor sharp wit on her Twitter page [4] where as Sherine has worried producers in the past with her tears and tantrums on screen.
However, the 'Habshatkanat' production company bigwigs are insistant that it was Sherine's decision to withdraw and that she was too busy on recording her new album to take on the show.

There are many things to consider when choosing a leasing company. Others may say and think that it is a simple and easy task, but in fact, it is a difficult process. First of all, one must look for a charter company that is reputable and trust-worthy. Ask your friends or your family members for their suggestion or you can also look in the computer for reviews regarding charter companies. Once you have decided on a corporation, you should ask them for documents like safety records, operating certificate, and insurance just to name a few. In addition, it is also important to ask the company how often their pilots get simulator training. In that way, you can be assured that your life, and those who will ride with you in the private jet plane to an airport, is in good hands. It is still better to be safe than sorry.
Leasing a private craft has likely said to be a luxury of the wealthy and celebrity. However, that is not most likely the case. Most persons are currently picking to hire private planes for lots of assorted reasons. With certain fees becoming a bit more cost effective and the hassles of flying commercially growing, more travelers are choosing to charter private jets to get to @LOCATION. Of course, even with the prices coming down, many regular flyers still can't afford to rent a private plane. Some groups of folks, though, are taking more and more advantage of private crafts for various reasons.
The most common type of folks to charter crafts are the rich and celebrity. They tend to lease jets because it is affordable to them, they don't have to travel in a commercial jet, there are less or no suitcase restrictions, plus they can bring their pets into the main cabin with them to travel with them as they travel. A usual charter, depending on the size of the planes, ranges anyplace from $20,000 and up. The smaller the crafts, the cheaper it is to lease it. The jets that can be hired come in a range of different sizes from eight seats upward. For someone who has a a lot of money, money is no issue and they can easily afford to lease a crafts for all of their flying needs. They also can have the size and the amenities options that they want throughout their flights. If the individual chartering the jets likes to pack a lot of baggage, then they can pick the crafts that would best be able to cater to those necessities, and not need to worry about any luggage restrictions. Individuals that are wealthy and can handle it a lot get their own private crafts, but there could be some query if this could be the fantastic way to go. After acquiring a private jet there are still all of the costs for maintenance, housing, paying a pilot, licenses, and any other fees associated with owning a plane. If, on the other hand, they just chartered a private plane for all of their travel necessities, they do not need to bother with any of such issues and can just enjoy flying in their own private rented plane.
Numbers travelers really detest flying on commercial planes to @LOCATION. This is not kept for the rich and well known. With trainling lines, multiple security checkpoints, suticases restrictions, and countless times undesirable seatmates many likely wish they could pay to travel in a private jet. A leased planelets the travelers countless freedoms that are otherwise not there on a commercial flight due to restrictions or policies important to guarantee the safety of the travelers. luggage restrictions are a ongoing source of strife when speaking of commercial flights. Lost suticases can also go along with this. Lots of airlines charge additionally for more than one piece of suticases and sometimes it doesn't even make it to the destination. If baggage gets lost on a commercial flight, even greater problems start to try and locate and deliver the misplaced suticases to its rightful owner. With a rented jet, you are in power of yourtrunks . You can watch them as they place it in the jet and there are few or no restrictions on the amount of luggage and what items you bring along you. Usually, pets can be allowed in the cabin with you throughout the flight rather than in the cargo area. With lately reports and concerns regarding how safe pets really are in the cargo bay of commercial flights, this addition is an important one for those who can pay to hire a craftand want to carry their animals along with them on their trip.
There is also a growth in companies hiring jets so their hirees can easily and easilyfly off to meetings and conferences. Not needing to wait in the growing lines at the airport or think about delayed flights, many businessmen find it easier and more convenient to merely hop on a hired craft to get to their meeting on the other part of the country then arrive home in time for supper. Another bonus of a chartered plane is that it caters to the actual necessities of its clients. If they maintain specific flight times, they can be accommodated. There is no reason to wait for the numerous passengers to board the craft and the planecan depart whenever it is able to. In addition, since rented jets are smaller than commercial planes, they offer tons more choices when thinking of the airports they can take off or arrive in. This can be particularly good for those hiring a plane for business reasons since they have more flexibility in where meetings can be held and in where they can land and depart from. leased planes are also usually equipped with all of the necessary technology for a businessman to be permitted to work on the flight in addition as keep in contact with their office for present information. Certain businessmen even hold their meetings on the jetswith the reason to save time as well as get additional work done. chartered jets have helped to save businesses time and money by letting them to fly and work in ease at the same time.
Whilst these are the twolarge groups of flyers that are most likely to charter a plane, others do as well for many addorted reasons. Some travelers prefer renting a plane because they don't have to wait in trainling lines or at security checkpoints. They can simply drive directly up to the steps of the craft and board directly from their car. There are no security checkpoints or long lines at the ticket counter, and they do not need to arrive hours in advance merely to make sure they are on time for their plane. A lot like the personal, pampered atmosphere that is experienced throughout the jet and the flight. There are lots of amenities offered on a leased craft that are not available during a commercial flight. Each hired plane has a number of choices that can be picked from that may include selecting your own movie, spa packages, even special requests could be honored if notified in advance. Chartered planes provide only the best to their customers and are happy to make any accommodations or fulfill any special accommodations made by the travelers who rented the jet. Yet another advantage to leasing a private jet is that you can set your personal travel times, likely only giving 48 hours notice if necessary. Plus, if you are on your way to a destination and want to change plans or stop off and visit a loaction as you fly over it, the pilot is flexible and can alter plans in the air if permissable. This gives the passenger more flexibility than if they were tofly on a commercial airline to @LOCATION.
Some flyers who lease a plane do so for a special event, for example a getaway or a trip to @LOCATION, and they need to do so in style. By hiring a private plane, you is ensured to arrive at their destination in style, at ease, and ready for whatever waits for them at their destination. A lot see renting a private jet as a luxury, and it is, but it is becoming a lot more affordable for folks who enjoy the rare luxuries that let them to feel needed and well taken care of and get them to their determined destination. By being able to afford the little luxuries like a rented jet, your arrive at your vacation destination well rested and ready to begin your much needed time off.
A leased jet affords the flyer all of the ease and flexibility that a commercial flight doesn't provide. By flying in a private plane, the passenger does not have any of the issues that go along with flying on a commercial airline. There are no large lines, security checkpoints where you will getendure being searched or patted down, no dreaded seat mates, no baggage restrictions, and no rules as to where you can go. leased crafts are becoming more and more popular as a means to go and it couldn't be a large surprise if someday they became a more preferred method to travel merely for the benefits that people who make use of them have access to.
When you're renting a jet for business purposes or just for a group of people make it a fun experience. When renting a private aircraft you don't have to worry about someone falling asleep on your shoulder, or that one little kid throwing food at you. When renting a private jet see where your destination is, usually with private jets you can go straight to an airport instead of going to the closet commercial airport. Then you will want to decide how big a jet you will need for your trip, do you want to fly nine people of fifty people. Find out what extra services you would like to have on your private jet, if you want a plasma televisions or satellites, look into which ones you would want for you and your guest.
People used to think that only Hollywood celebrities, politicians, and executives are the only ones who can afford to purchase or rent a private jet plane. However, that is no longer the case since there are many charter companies in the market that caters to the every need of business people and travelers alike. Now, should you buy your own private jet plane or should you just charter one? The answer is simple. It all depends on your needs. Are you the type of businessperson or traveler who goes out of the country all the time? Then you should own a private jet plane so that you will not need to rent each time that you have to travel to to . Or, if you need a private jet just to visit your parents over the holidays, then you should opt to charter a plane instead.
In spite of the fact that chartering a private jet plane can cost thousands of dollars, there are many advantages that come with it. First, when chartering a private jet to an airport, the clients have complete control over the time and date he wish to depart since there are a lot of charter companies that offers their services 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. In addition, there is no need to wait for several hours at an airport anymore because there is no check-in time, and it is not necessary to go through security. Another plus of renting a private jet is the luxury and comfort that comes with it. You even have the freedom to choose the food that you desire and even the cabin members! However, it is highly recommended to choose a trusted charter company.
You have finally bought your very own private jet plane or you have chartered one. Now, you keep asking yourself if there are any etiquettes or guidelines that you should follow. Yes, there are. 1. Can I bring my pet/s with me aboard a private jet plane to an airport? Yes, but your pet should be well trained and behaved while in the jet so that it will not be a threat to you and to the cabin crew. However, it is still best to ask the charter company beforehand. Additionally, should the company not allow pets roaming around the aircraft, bring a crate with you. 2. Am I allowed to smoke a cigarette or a tobacco while in the aircraft? It is allowed, but just to make sure, you should check first with the charter company if they permit smoking while on board the private plane.
