Io Group, Inc. v. Veoh Networks, Inc., 2008 WL 4065872 (N.D.Cal. Aug. 27, 2008)
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that Veoh's hosting of user-provided content is protected by the DMCA safe harbor provision, and that it does not have a duty to police for potential copyright infringement on behalf of third-parties, but rather must act to remove infringing content when so put on notice.
IO produces adult films; Veoh hosts, inter alia, its own "Internet TV channels" and user-posted content (much like YouTube). In June 2006, IO discovered clips from ten (10) of its copyrighted films ranging from 6 seconds to 40 minutes in length hosted on Veoh. Rather than sending Veoh a "DMCA Notice & Takedown" letter, IO filed the instant copyright infringement suit. (Coincidentally, Veoh had already removed all adult content sua sponte — including IO's prior to the suit). Had Veoh received such a notice, so the story goes, it would have removed the content, and terminated the posting individual's account.
When a user submits a video for posting, Veoh's system extracts certain metadata (e.g., file format and length), assigns a file number, extracts several still images (seen on the site as an icon), and converts the video to Flash. Prior to posting, Veoh's employees randomly spot check the videos for compliance with Veoh's policies (i.e., that the content is not infringing third-party copyrights). On at least one occasion, such a spot check revealed infringing content (an unreleased movie) which was not posted.
Veoh moved for summary judgment under the DMCA's Safe Harbors which "provide protection from liability for: (1) transitory digital network communications; (2) system caching; (3) information residing on systems or networks at the direction of users; and (4) information location tools." Ellison, 357 F.3d at 1076-77. Finding that Veoh is a Service Provider under the DMCA, the Court had little trouble in finding that it qualified for the Safe Harbors. IO admitted that Veoh "(a) has adopted and informed account holders of its repeat infringer policy and (b) accommodates, and does not interfere with, "standard technical measures" used to protect copyrighted works", but took issue with the manner in which Veoh implemented its repeat infringer policy.
Veoh clearly established that it had a functioning DMCA Notice & Takedown system:
- Veoh has identified its designated Copyright Agent to receive notification of claimed violations and included information about how and where to send notices of claimed infringement.
- Veoh often responds to infringement notices the same day they are received.
- When Veoh receives notice of infringement, after a first warning, the account is terminated and all content provided by that user disabled.
- Veoh terminates access to other identical infringing files and permanently blocks them from being uploaded again.
- Veoh has terminated over 1,000 users for copyright infringement.
The Court held that Veoh did not have a duty to investigate whether terminated users were re-appearing under pseudonyms, but that as long as it continued to effectively address alleged infringements, it continued to qualify for the DMCA Safe Harbors; moreover, it did not have to track users' IP addresses to readily identify possibly fraudulent new user accounts.
The Court further noted that: "In essence, a service provider [Veoh] is eligible for safe harbor under section 512(c) if it (1) does not know of infringement; or (2) acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material when it (a) has actual knowledge, (b) is aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent, or (c) has received DMCA-compliant notice; and (3) either does not have the right and ability to control the infringing activity, or – if it does – that it does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity."
The Court found that (1) there was no question that Veoh did not know of the alleged infringement — since IO did not file a DMCA Notice (2) it acted expeditiously to remove user-posted infringing content, (3) it did not have actual knowledge of infringement, (4) it was not aware of infringing activity, and (5) it did not have the right and ability to control the infringing activity (the Court did not address any financial benefit).
In sum: the Court "[did] not find that the DMCA was intended to have Veoh shoulder the entire burden of policing third-party copyrights on its website (at the cost of losing its business if it cannot). Rather, the issue [was] whether Veoh [took] appropriate steps to deal with [alleged] copyright infringement."
There is much speculation as to how, if at all, this case will affect the Viacom / YouTube case. YouTube praised the decision, Viacom noted the differences. Each case turns on its own facts, but to the extent there are similarities, this decision is wind in YouTube's sails.
Case is: IO Group Inc.(Plaintiff), v. Veoh Networks, Inc. (Defendant)

CANASTOTA -- Two years ago Watertown Immaculate Heart Central ended Canastota's season in the semifinals of the Class C football playoffs with a last-second field goal. After a sluggish start, the Raiders scored 29 unanswered points Friday to cruise to a 29-6 victory in the rematch. "(It feels) very good," said first-year Canastota head coach Tom Congden of the playoff win. "We were confident (before the game). Everybody at this stage of the game is a great team, so you have to come to play every night." The Cavaliers had the first sustained drive late in the first quarter. Quarterback Matt Moran found Nick Koelmel for a 22-yard reception on third and 11 to move into Raiders territory. Zach Zupan tackled Koelmel out of bounds for a 15-yard penalty to set up a first down at the 22. A hold and sacks by Ben Binsley and Jesse Puchales Jr. ended the visitors' threat. Canastota went three and out on the ensuing possession and Watertown IHC took over at their 44. Moran found Koelmel three times on a 12-play drive, capped by Michael Marra's two-yard touchdown run. The kick missed off the left upright, giving the Cavaliers a 6-0 lead with 4:53 to play in the first half. The Raiders had a chance to score before the end of the half when Zupan broke off a 40-yard run on the first play of the ensuing possession. Four plays later the senior broke several tackles and appeared to pick up another first down. A hold nullified the run and Anthony Mason overthrew an open John Halsey in the end zone to turn the ball over on downs. The hosts finally got the running attack work more consistently to start the second half. The Raiders mixed a few counter plays with Zupan pounding the ball through the line, running the ball on all seven plays of a 59-yard drive. Matt Russitano's 25-yard touchdown run up the middle tied the game for the Canastota (6-1). After the teams exchanged punts, Russitano came up with a huge play on defense. He picked off a Moran pass at the Cavaliers 35 and returned it to the 5. Mason punched it in two plays later to put the Raiders up 12-0 with 2:47 to play in the third quarter. Puchales recovered a fumble on the second play of the ensuing possession, setting the Raiders up at Watertown IHC's 27. Elijah Motley looked like he scored on a 27-yard run on fourth down. Zupan took a pitch from Mason and tossed the ball to Motley who eluded two would-be tacklers on his way to the end zone. A holding penalty brought the run back, but Canastota still picked up the first down. Two plays into the fourth quarter Mason hit Motley for a 10-yard score. Mason found Xavier Johnson for the conversion points to extend the lead to 20-6. Canastota forced a three-and-out on the ensuing possession and Russitano made a good special teams play, returning the punt 21 yards to the Cavaliers 29. Three plays later Mason hit Halsey for a TD on a play similar to the one they missed in the first half. Johnson made the kick to put Canastota up 27-6. The hosts added a safety late in the game to end the scoring. "We sped things up a little bit (in the second half)," said Congden. "The kids bought in; they're very talented. When they're flying around out there like they were in the second half, they have a bright future." Canastota honored former teacher and football coach Bill Pestell with a moment of silence before the game. Pestell passed away Monday. Watertown IHC 0 6 0 0 - 6 Canastota 0 0 12 17 - 29 W: Michael Marra 2 run (kick failed) C: Matt Russitano 25 run (kick failed) C: Anthony Mason 1 run (run failed) C: Mason 10 pass to Elijah Motley (Mason pass to Xavier Johnson) C: Mason 16 pass to John Halsey (Johnson kick) C: safety Records - Watertown IHC 4-3; Canastota 6-1.

November 7, 1856
The first page of this four-page document lists five items for which Samuel L. Adair requested payment ($21.25) from the KSCC; these include provisions, medicine, the "balance yet unpaid of money advanced to pay lawyers fees for prisoners at Tecumsee in June last," and the "bill paid for lumber and nails for coffin of Frederick Brown & David Garrison," two of the men killed during the battle of Osawatomie, August 30, 1856.

Letter, S. L. Adair to Rev. S. S. Jocelyn
May 3, 1855
Samuel Adair wrote from Osawatomie to thank Rev. Jocelyn, an official of the American Missionary Association, for his encouragement and fiscal support of $100. He said they will use it to pay what they owe and then make it last as long as possible. His wife has taken in sewing and washing to make ends meet but Adair asks Jocelyn not to share that information. He discussed the weather and his religious missionary efforts in detail. Adair also commented on migration to Kansas and motives of those coming. This appears to be a draft of a letter sent to Jocelyn.

Letter, S. L. Adair to Miss Mary P. Green
December 17, 1856
In this letter, Samuel Adair thanked Miss Green for $35 sent by the ladies of La Salle County, Illinois. He indicated that he would try to distribute the money to "no unworthy person," but that it would help relieve the suffering in the territory. He indicated that things were comparatively quiet. He referred to a lack of cash if settlers were required to pay for their land soon, as he felt most would need to take out mortgages. He reported that those suffering the most were families who were sick or where the men were in prison. He expressed gratitude for the support received from the East.

Mumbai Terror Trial Jury Comprised Mostly of Minorities
A jury has been seated in the terrorism trial of a Chicago man.
The twelve jurors and 6 alternates chosen will be hearing the case against Tahawwur Rana who's accused of planning the Mumbai terror attack that killed 160 people.
Ten of the jurors are women and eight are African American. Rana's defense attorneys say there were a lot of minorities in the overall pool of jurors, and that's why there are so many on the panel. Charlie Swift says it's a good jury for them.
"The idea here was to get a jury of Mr. Rana's peers and I believe that we got a jury of Mr. Rana's peers. People who can understand Mr. Rana's position as an immigrant. People who can understand Mr. Rana's position as a minority in his community, Mr. Rana's position as a businessman and as a family member," Swift said.
Opening statements in the case are scheduled to begin Monday.

Readers share their Connecticut debit card tax refund experiences
Last week's column moved some readers to share their experiences with Connecticut's income tax refund debit cards.
CH wrote:
"The reality of the Debit Card Refund policy is that it was a surprise to taxpayers, and a real inconvenience. I received my refund of about $1,600 by debit card. I almost threw it out, because, as you say in your article, it's easy to mistake for another credit card offer. Yes, there's a DRS logo on the card, but who bothers taking the time to examine junk mail thoroughly? And announcement of the policy? I'll bet a small minority of taxpayers were looking for a tax refund in debit card form. So what did I do with my debit card? I went to my bank ... to deposit it into my account.
(My bank) said they could not deposit it, and that I should try using the cash machine. I did. It would not accept a withdrawal of the entire amount. And, even though I am a customer, there would be a $2.50 charge to withdraw $500. Add it up, and I'd have to pay $10 to get my tax refund at my regular (bank) ATM. So (my bank) advised me to drive to Chase where I could cash it in.
The Chase teller was very nice ... After signing their forms and showing my license, I walked out with $1,600 in cash. I returned to (my bank) and deposited it. Total time: about 30 minutes. My federal refund was direct deposited. Total time and effort: zero."
MLW, a reader who is homebound, wrote that she was successful at transferring her refund to her bank account through an online process.
To do that, you first need to call Chase Customer Service at 1-866-586-1705 to activate the card. You'll need to provide your Social Security number and to create a PIN number.
Once your card is activated, you can log onto www.myaccount.chase.com.
1. Click on CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
2. Accept the account terms and conditions. Note that the terms refer to account maintenance fees that the state Department of Revenue Services advises are not relevant if you transfer the full refund to your bank account within a year of activation.
3. Enter your card number and PIN. The site gives you the option of creating a user ID. You don't need to do so if you withdraw your entire refund.
4. Log into your account. The system prompts you to set three security questions. After you do that, click "Continue."
5. You'll be brought to the Account Summary page, where you can see your account balance. From the menu tabs at the top of the screen, select "Account Transfers." From the Account Transfers screen, select either the entire balance on your card or enter a specific amount to transfer. Select either your checking or savings account to receive the transfer and enter the routing and account numbers where indicated.
6. The transfer will reflect a deduction of 75 cent debit for a service charge. Print out a receipt. If you transfer the full amount, your account balance will be zero.
7. Check your bank account to confirm the deposit.
The entire process is relatively straight forward, but it is a lot easier to avoid getting a debit card in the mail in the first place.
When you file your taxes for 2012, opt for direct deposit. Do that on lines 25a, b and c of Connecticut's Form 1040. If your accountant files your return, don't forget to tell him or her to do so on your behalf.

AECdesign necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 15 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Create website design including subpages and create a complimentary logo. Logo and design need to work for business cards, banner ads, printed materials, and pdf documents. We are looking for creativity that pushes the boundaries but is still appropriate for business to business sales.
Cadpipe is a 3D design software for HVAC, piping and electrical systems in commercial buildings like offices, warehouses, schools, etc. The software is focused on the practical information to fabricate and install HVAC, pipe and electrical systems. The website and logo should reflect the construction industry, and possibly integrate construction, buildings, sheet metal, pipes and electrical items and equipment throughout the site.
Our current website is cluttered. We want a more KISS (keep it simple stupid) approach that also communicates the practical focus of constructing a building in a limited amount of time. It is important that the free software download is easy to identify throughout the website. We also want the Cadpipe website to look different, newer and more creative than our competitors. One idea would be to have a 3D model of a building on the main page and when people pick on the different systems (HVAC, pipe and electrical) they are taken to the detailed information for that software. Here are two links to competitor sites:
1. www.quickpen.com
2. http://tsi-software.com/prod01.htm
Our current web site is http://www.cadpipe.com. You can build off of this. Let us know if you need anything from us by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Relate the site to Construction, Buildings, Sheet Metal, Pipes…etc.- Convey results- Integrate a visit counter (how many people visited the site) somehow into the site creatively- The logo and the website need to compliment eachother.- The website needs to be clear and concise
- Cartoons, ultra modern, lack of elegance, primary colors, unbusinesslike, too cluttered- Flash. Keep it functional.

Why Hiring Expert Thesis Writers is so Popular among Students
A very popular trend among students is hiring expert custom thesis writers. Students hire expert thesis writers for many reasons. Some of these reasons include having to work long hours for money to live, not having the know-how to write the paper, or even that they simply don't want to. Yet these are not the only reasons. So, keep reading to learn why hiring expert thesis writers is so popular among students.
Not enough time
Many students say they hired a thesis writer because they did not have enough time to complete that large of a project. The fact is that with the rising cost of tuition and general living expenses, an increased amount of students are also having to work in addition to going to school. Therefore, many students are too busy working or simply exhausted from their schedules to write their thesis.
They're professionals
Other students say they used a professional thesis writer because they are professionals. After all who better to write a thesis than a professional? You can rest easy knowing that your paper will be written in a clear, understandable fashion that is grammatically correct and free of other errors. Many students choose to do this because they want to be guaranteed a good or passing grade. A representative of custom dissertation writing service confirms that legitimate custom thesis firms only hire experienced native English speaking writers with at least a Masters degree in a particular field.
Seek minor help
Some will seek the help of an expert thesis writer simply because the student came down with writer's block after completing most of the paper. What this means is that the student completed most of the work, but had to get help from an expert with some parts. This can be very beneficial because rather than losing points for insufficient information, he or she will have had help from an expert.
Assistance with editing
Finally, there are many students who have no problem with the written portion of the thesis. However, they have a great deal of problems trying to edit it. In this case, hiring an expert thesis writer can be helpful because he or she will find all mistakes pertaining to grammar and spelling, while also making the paper flow better, have the correct tone, and read perfectly from your thesis statement to your conclusion paragraph.
In the end, it has become very common for students to hire expert thesis writers. As we discussed, there are many reasons for this trend. However, nonetheless it's better to get assistance from someone than it is to get a bad grade on your thesis!

BUCKLE UP FOR THANKSGIVING TRAVEL: Law enforcement urges Arkansas motorists to "click it, day and nNovember 15, 2012
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Whitehead - Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office Phone: (501) 618-8133 email: email@example.com (LITTLE ROCK) - The Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the busiest for Arkansas motorists and out of state travelers. During the upcoming week-long holiday travel period Arkansas State Troopers will join with other state and local law enforcement officers nationwide to ensure drivers obey the rules of the road and motorists are buckled-up in their seat belts. Motor vehicle crashes nationwide during the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday reporting period (Wednesday, November 24th – Monday, November 29th) resulted in 337 passenger vehicle occupants being killed. A staggering 55 percent of the fatality victims were not wearing seat belts. In Arkansas, during the same Thanksgiving travel period, 7 people lost their lives and 57 percent of those killed were not wearing seat belts. "Seat belts save lives and that's why State Troopers and local law enforcement officers across Arkansas will participate in the national Click It or Ticket, Day and Night mobilization," said Colonel Stan Witt, Director of the Arkansas State Police and Governor's Highway Safety Representative. The Arkansas State Police will place additional State Troopers on the highway during the Thanksgiving holiday period. The national mobilization effort directed at seat belt violators begins November 19th and will continue through November 25th. According to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), during 2010, seat belts saved more than 12,500 lives. Research indicates the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent when seat belts are worn correctly. "Buckling up is simple and it's a proven life saver, but it's often forgotten during the hustle and bustle of holiday travel, particularly at nighttime," said Colonel Witt. Nationally, during the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday weekend, 64 percent of nighttime fatalities involved unbelted passengers compared to only 41 percent unbuckled passengers in daytime fatalities. "It's unfortunate too many people need a tough reminder in the form of a traffic ticket," Colonel Witt said, "but taking just a few seconds for everyone in a vehicle to fasten their seat belt can make a life or death difference." The Arkansas State Police encourages motorists year round to practice safe driving habits which begin with buckling-up before leaving the driveway. For more information about the Click It or Ticket, Day and Night campaign, visit www.TrafficSafetyMarketing.gov or call the Arkansas Highway Safety Office at (501) 618-8136.

At least nine law firms from across the country have filed a class action lawsuit against Bally Total Fitness on behalf of all purchasers of common stock between August 3, 1999 and April 28, 2004.
The filing said that Bally violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements to the public that described Bally's improving financial performance.
According to a release from a statement issued by the law firm of Schiffrin & Barroway, LLP, one of the firms working on the suit, "As alleged in the complaint, these statements were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose and/or misrepresented the following adverse facts, among others: (i) that the Company had violated Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and its own internal policies by prematurely recognizing revenue on certain non-obligatory prepaid membership dues; (ii) that the Company lacked adequate internal controls and was therefore unable to ascertain the true financial condition of the Company; and (iii) that, as a result, the value of the company's reported revenues during the Class Period was materially overstated."
On April 28, the Securities and Exchange Commission began an investigation in connection with the company's restatement regarding the timing of recognition of certain prepaid dues. Bally also stated that it had modified its existing internal controls structure. On that same date, Bally's chief financial officer and director, John W. Dwyer, resigned. Shares of the company's common stock fell approximately 17 percent to close at $4.50 per share on heavy trading volume after these announcements.
On May 18, Bally announced that it had hired KPMG LLP as the company's new independent auditor to replace Ernst & Young LLP.
Bally Total Fitness has said that it is cooperating with the SEC on the investigation. The company issued a release denouncing the suit.
"Bally's directors and executive management believe this suit to be totally without merit," said the company's official statement. "We deny all of the plaintiffs' substantive allegations and we will vigorously defend this litigation."
Bally will hold its annual meeting of stockholders on July 29, 2004.
In related news, Liberation Investments L.P. and Liberation Investments Ltd. announced that they have notified Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation of their intention to submit certain governance proposals for approval at that July stockholders meeting.
The Liberation Funds, which owns just less than 6 percent of Bally's outstanding shares, said they are recommending separating the offices of the offices of chief executive officer and chairman of the board, both currently filled by Paul Toback.
Other initiatives proposed include removal of the company's stockholder rights plan, declassification of the company's board of directors and the adoption of a mandatory retirement age for directors at 75 years old.
The Liberation Funds said they intend to file a proxy statement and other relevant documents with the SEC in support of the proposals.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Many psychiatric, behavioral, and developmental disorders are genetic. This means that they tend to run in families. Some begin in childhood, while others do not appear until adulthood. Researchers want to look at people of all ages who have these disorders that started in childhood. They will also look at relatives of people with these disorders. This information will allow doctors to learn more about childhood behavioral problems and how they are inherited. It may also help doctors treat those disorders.
- To study the onset and treatment of childhood behavioral, psychiatric, and developmental disorders.
- Individuals of any age who have a psychiatric, autism spectrum, or developmental disorder, or other behavioral problems.
- Family members of individuals with the above disorders. This group may include parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles, cousins, and children.
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have a psychiatric history with tests of thinking, judgment, and behavior. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Brain imaging scans will be performed to look at brain function. They may have a spinal tap to collect cerebrospinal fluid.
- Relatives will have a medical history and physical exam. They will also have a psychiatric history with tests of thinking, judgment, and behavior. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Brain imaging scans will be performed to look at brain function.
- A relative s exams may reveal a behavioral or other disorder. If so, he or she may re-enroll on the study as a person with the disorder.
|Condition or disease
|Neurological Disorder Autism
This is a diagnostic and treatment protocol designed to provide opportunities for identifying new clinical syndromes, providing cases for instruction and training, and permitting longitudinal assessments of a variety of childhood behavioral, psychiatric and developmental disorders. Disorders of particular interest are: autism, disorders of social cognition and other neurodevelopmental disorders; childhood psychiatric disorders and particularly those with acute symptom onset; and unique clinical presentations of pediatric behavioral syndromes, such as those associated with genetic disorders or those with a unique family history.
The primary objective of this protocol is to evaluate a variety of behavioral, neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. Assessing and treating participants will allow the PDN clinicians to maintain their clinical expertise and will provide opportunities for training. Further, the protocol will allow PDN investigators to gain additional knowledge about the course of various childhood behavioral syndromes and their response to standard therapies. The information obtained is expected to generate questions to be answered and hypotheses to be tested in future protocols. In some cases, blood, cerebrospinal fluid or other biologic samples (including urine, saliva and cheek swabs) obtained for clinical studies will be stored for future laboratory studies.
Study Population:
The number of participants to be enrolled will be set at 3,500 participants to permit inclusion of up to 1,000 probands (children, adolescents and adults) and their relatives (n = 2,500 to include key 2nd and 3rd degree relatives, as well as 1st degree relatives).
This is a natural history, treatment and training protocol. The cross-sectional portion of this study will include in-depth medical and laboratory assessments to evaluate the relationship of biological abnormalities with neuropsychiatric symptomatology. Family members will be studied to elucidate the nature of any genetic abnormalities observed in the probands. Clinically useful information (performed in a CLIA certified lab) will be shared with all participants. Standard therapeutic interventions may be utilized to evaluate their effects in well-characterized participants with unique clinical presentations. Participants also may be asked to return to NIH for periodic follow-up assessments, in order to facilitate the longitudinal assessment of natural and treated courses of illness as a means of better understanding their progression and pathophysiology.
Outcome Measures:
No formal outcomes will be measured; however the clinical assessments of enrolled participants may be used to evaluate correlates of clinical symptomatology and response to standard therapeutic interventions. In addition, DNA samples may be obtained from participants and their relatives, in order to identify or verify causative genetic abnormalities in order to establish pathogenic mechanisms and genotype-phenotype correlations.

Borosilicate glass 3.3, glass lined steel, stainless steel 316 / 316L others, different alloys are better known by their brand names such as Schott, Pyrex, Hastelloy, ..
Büchi Glas Uster – R&D and process equipment in corrosion resistant material
Büchi reactors systems are available in different materials: Depending on involved chemistry and requested process temperatures and process pressures we supply chemical process equipment in materials like: Borosilicate glass 3.3, glass lined steel , with reduced resistance against acids but for higher pressure applications in stainless seel 316/316L, Hastelloy C22, (see also Inconel, Monel), Titanium of different grades, Tantalum , Nickel, Zirconium, Silicon Carbide (SiC), Teflon or PTFE (coatings, inliners). Combinations of these materials in the same system are made, where useful, as well as coating with different acid resistant materials as PFA.
Chemical reactors for pressure applications for limited pressure are often made in Borosilikat Glass 3.3 and glass lined steel and for higher pressure in stainless steel, different alloys like Hastelloy, Inconel or Monel, Titanium, Nickel, Tantalum, Zirconium.
Chemical reactors for vacuum application applications are typically made of Borosilicate Glass 3.3 and glass lined steel, sometimes in combination with glass distillation overheads in stainless steel, or Hastelloy.
Process equipment for vacuum distillation in production scale are built with glass lined reactors and a glass distillation overheads. All components like distillation column and piping are made in glass, feed vessels and receiving vessels in glass or glass lined steel, the condensers in glass, sometimes in combination with silicon carbide (SiC).
Borosilicate glass 3.3, acc. ISO 3585 consists of the following components:
81 % SiO2
4 % Na2/K2O
2 % Al2O3
Borosilicate glass was developed in 1887 by Otto Schott and Ernest Abbe in Jena Germany.
Chemical properties:
Very good chemical resistance against many substances. (according ISO 719, DIN 12116, ISO 695)
- hydrofluoric acid
- strong phosphoric acid
- strong sodium hydroxide
Brandnames of Borosilicate 3.3 are: Duran, Pyrex, Jena Glass
Physical properties:
Density p 2,23 g.cm-3
thermal expansion coefficient 3.3 * 10-6/K
(linear between 20 - 300°C)
medium specific heat capacity 0.84 J/gK
medium heat conductivity 1.30 W/mK
Optical properties
suitable for photochemical processes, specifically in the ultraviolet range 280 – 400 nm
(light transmission 310 – 2200 nm, visible light 380-780 nm)
Borosilicate glass 3.3 is used in chemical reactors and process equipment due to several reasons:
- wide temperature range (often limited by the sealing material)
- very low thermal expansion (linear over a wide temperature range)
- it's hydrophobic characteristic makes it easy to clean the complete chemical or pharmaceutical reaction unit
- the inert attitude
- it is transparent - processes can be observed and controlled visually
The chemical resistance against water , many chemical substances and pharmaceutical products (hydrolytic class 1) is explained by the high content of Bor. Reaction vessels made of Borosilicate glass suit perfectly to the requirements for use in chemical research labs, as well as Pilot Plants and kilolabs for small to mid scale productions in the pharmaceutical industry.
Safety with glass equipment:
Design is according to AD 2000 Merkblatt and PED (Pressure equipment directive) for use of our glass equipment and vacuum as well for glass reactors under pressure. Tightness, safety, reliability as well as short down times for cleaning and product changes are of major importance. Our reaction systems provide operator safety and safe processes due to several factors as the consequent use of flexible glass connections. Our unique glass connection stays flexible under operation condition and therefore free from mechanical forces. It can even compensate material expansions from other materials connected with more important expansion characteristics during heating and cooling, without the use of unsafe and hardly cleanable compensators.
Glass lined steel or enamelled steel reactors with glass column / glass cover:
Buchi reactors are built in a combination of the bottom part in glass lined steel with heating/cooling jacket in the bottom and a glass cylinder or glass cover on the top to visually observe the chemical reaction. Both materials of construction are inert and corrosion resistant and the glass lined steel Bottom heating features an excellent thermal transfer.
Buchi Reactors for Pilot Plants and kilo labs
These reactor systems in reactor volumes of 15 – 250 liters are mostly used for as multipurpose units. Due to this it is important to use chemically inert materials like glass, glass lines steel, PTFE or Teflon. There are reasons to combine glass distillation overheads also with reactors in different materials: For better heat transfer (with less corrosion resistance), the reactor may be built in Hastelloy, or in stainless steel in case of processing caustic solutions with less corrosion resistance on the acidic side. Other reasons of using Hastelloy or stainless steel reactors instead of our standard glass lined steel / glass reactors may be the operation on higher pressures, followed by vacuum distillation after the pressure reaction.

Telendos - Pescatore
Located on the tiny and idyllic island of Telendos immediately opposite Kalymnos, Pescatore is a new sector with 25 routes from 5b+ to 8a+ on a smooth 30m wall charcaterised by numerous large stalactites and tufas. The wild beauty of the landscape by the sea offers unforgettable views to Leros and the coast of Kalymnos close to Emporios, and the climbing is rendered even more fascinating by the lack of immediate contact with homes and civilisation.
From Kalymnos take the boat to Telendos, from the harbour follow the pretty trail along the coast towards Irox (50 min). Traverse along the foot of the cliffs and, when the sector Irox ends, ascend briefly to the right (total time: 60-65 min). Alternatively, you can approach Irox by boat and ascend briefly to the right (only 10 min).
Most routes start off with tough moves on stalactites, although the endings on a sharp wall are not always of the same high climbing quality. On certain routes, bolts have not always been ideally placed. On the left are slabs of very high quality, including the incredible, smooth wall of Amores Perros 7c+, the crown jewel of this sector. Most routes in Pescatore were equipped by Vincent Serra di Migni with his partner Eugenia, and George Kopalides. Other route equippers include Bruno Fara, Renée Guerin, Giorgio and Elisabetta Galli, Simon Montmory and Quentin Chastagnier.
Kalymnos rock climbing in Greece
By boat
Kalymnos can be reached by boat from the island Kos. Once you have landed in Kos, take a taxi to the port at Mastichari and catch the next boat to Kalymnos from there. Mastichari is 10 minutes by taxi from Kos airport and the taxi ride costs €12 - €15 euro in total. Regular ferries and smaller speed boats make the Mastichari – Pothia (Kalymnos) route regularly. The ferry ride takes approximately 45 minutes and costs €4; the speedboat takes approximately 25 minutes and costs €6.00. When you arrive at Pothia (the main port in Kalymnos) you will find a number of taxis waiting. A taxi ride to Massouri costs between €10-15, depending on the number of passengers and luggage. Alternatively, you can rent a scooter or car, or inquire about the public bus schedule departing in front of the City Hall. There is a tourist information kiosk at the port exit.To check the Kos – Kalymnos ferry timetable, go to www.danae.gr and enter 'Mastichari' and 'Kalymnos' in the respective fields. You can also call the Port Authority of Kos for an automated timetable message in English on the following number: +30 22420 26594. In the unlikely event that there is no taxi waiting at Pothia, call the taxi station on the following number: +30 22430 50300.

Ground broken on EverBank Field upgrades
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Ground has been broken at EverBank Field in preparation for installation of the largest video boards of their kind in the world.
"The project also includes the construction of a new interactive fan area in the north end zone that will reflect the spirit of life in Jacksonville," a news release reads.
The new fan amenity will feature a flexible elevated plaza of about 42,000 square feet. Project completion of the video boards and the fan area is expected in time for the first home game of the 2014 Jacksonville Jaguars preseason.
"As the construction takes shape, we can all envision what an impact this will have on EverBank Field and the game day experience," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. "And that was one of the reasons from the beginning for embarking on this ambitious project. We want EverBank Field to be a world-class destination, and we want to bring energy and attention to downtown Jacksonville. Our goal is to offer best-in-class amenities and the best in-stadium experience for our fans and for everyone who visits Jacksonville and EverBank Field."
WATCH LIVE: Real-time progress of project
With these video enhancements, EverBank Field will now display about 55,000 feet of video boards, a 660 percent increase over last season's 7,200 square feet and the most offered by any NFL stadium. Fans can go to www.jaguars.com/livecam to follow real-time progress of the project.
"We owe our fans and this community nothing less than the best, and these enhancements will be the best," said Jaguars President Mark Lamping. "These stadium upgrades will drastically change the in-stadium experience and create a truly unique environment that you cannot get at home. This will be an eye-opener and an attention-getter for Jacksonville."
Hunt + Elkins, a joint venture, is the construction manager for the stadium project. Hunt Construction Group has previously built several sports facilities, including Lucas Oil Stadium and University of Phoenix Stadium for football, and Marlins Park, Nationals Park, Busch Stadium and Citi Field for baseball.
Elkins Constructors is a Jacksonville-based construction company, as is Haskell Architects and Engineers, P.A. which is the designer for the scoreboard construction. The Haskell Company will provide structural steel and steel installation services for the scoreboard and north end zone improvements.
Daktronics is creating the video boards, and Haskell is responsible for the project design. Daktronics is in the process of manufacturing the video displays. Each display boasts more than 21,700 square feet of active display area -- almost enough to cover the entire field of play when combined.
North end zone interactive fan area
At the north end of the stadium will be a large two-level deck featuring cabana-style seating areas, video screens, bars and two large spa-type wading pools and other water features. There will be sections dedicated to private functions as well as areas open to all fans in the seating bowl. Populous is responsible for the design of the north end zone area.
Permanent facilities in the deck area will include men's and women's restrooms, food service space and utility boxes for connection to portable amenities. The connections under construction will provide power, data, water and drains for portable bars and food service for fans.
In addition, sun shades, seating and other amenities will be provided. These provisions will be portable and removable for the installation of temporary seating for special events like the Florida-Georgia game, the Gator Bowl and concerts.
Video boards
The two massive end zone displays will each measure 60 feet high by 362 feet wide and feature 13mm HD pixel spacing. The video boards will be capable of showing any combination of live action, instant replays, vivid graphics, colorful animations, up-to-the-minute statistics, scoring information and sponsor advertisements.
Below the north end zone display will be a display measuring nearly 10 feet high by 320 feet wide featuring the same 13mm HD pixel layout.
At the opposite end of the stadium will be two ribbon displays on both levels of fascia in the seating bowl below the south end zone main display. Each ribbon display will feature 15mm HD pixel spacing. The top display, measuring more than 3 feet high by 365 feet wide, is curved to appear the same length as the bottom display, which will measure more than 3 feet high by 295 feet wide.
Each side of the field will feature a ribbon display along the seating fascia, each measuring more than 3 feet high by 573 feet wide and featuring a 15mm HD pixel layout.
Four new displays will replace the existing displays in each corner of the stadium. These new displays will each measure approximately 18 feet high by 32 feet wide and feature a 15mm HD pixel spacing. Two additional displays will be installed above each tunnel at opposite corners of the stadium. These displays will each measure 6 feet high by 24 feet wide and will also feature a 15mm HD pixel layout.
All of these video and ribbon displays will provide the opportunity to present up-to-the-minute statistics, fantasy football updates, out of town scores and other game day information. All displays will incorporate excellent image clarity and contrast, and will provide multiple levels of protection from the elements. The wide angle viewing capability will provide fans with a clear view of the displays from any seat in the stadium.
Daktronics will also be including its powerful Show Control System with this installation. This industry-leading system provides a combination of display control software, world-class video processing, data integration and playback hardware that forms a user-friendly production solution.
Steel structure
The new scoreboards will be constructed of structural steel framing with ribbed metal siding and a single ply roof over rigid insulation on metal roof deck. The bowl side of each structure will be the electronic video board. Each new section of scoreboard will be supported by triangular structural steel towers similar to the existing supports. The design will include the electrical service for the video board operation, lighting of the interior spaces and lighting for the signage to be provided on the back side of the scoreboards.
The installation includes power, cabling, sound and a new expanded state of the art scoreboard control room on the west side suite level of the stadium.

STOCKTON - The City Council will be asked tonight to vote on a measure that effectively sends Stockton into bankruptcy, making it the nation's largest municipality to have done so.
STOCKTON - The City Council will be asked tonight to vote on a measure that effectively sends Stockton into bankruptcy, making it the nation's largest municipality to have done so.
At press time Monday, Stockton had not announced any kind of agreement from a 90-day mediation period aimed at preventing bankruptcy. The silence of Monday sets up tonight's historic City Council meeting.
Today's vote marks another dubious distinction for a city already labeled as having the nation's second-highest home foreclosure rate and the second-highest violent crime rate in California.
"The city of Stockton has reached a turning point in its history," City Manager Bob Deis wrote in a memo before the council tonight, describing the financial crisis and his proposal for fixing it.
Putting Stockton's recent descent into fiscal chaos into perspective, Deis used the phrase "irrational exuberance" in his memo. The description was coined by former Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan in a 1996 speech to describe the nation's fast-paced economy.
The home-building frenzy that accompanied that era has ricocheted back today, hitting few cities harder than Stockton. About 3,000 homes a year were built at Stockton's peak. The annual number has fallen to 105.
Generous pension and benefit packages and overextended debt also have contributed to the city's crisis.
At City Hall, those figures have meant ever-shrinking property and sales taxes needed to fill the city's coffers and in turn pay salaries for police, firefighters, librarians and other municipal employees.
City leaders face a $26 million deficit. They had already trimmed $90 million in the previous three years. By Sunday, the city must have a balanced budget.
Stockton, with a population approaching 300,000, is being watched by other California communities also in crisis, and it puts the city in league with distressed European countries such as Spain and Greece.
The council in Stockton tonight won't vote for or against bankruptcy but rather to adopt a so-called pendency plan, which will serve as the city's day-to-day spending plan during its likely Chapter 9 proceedings.
The pendency plan proposes cuts similar to what the city likely asked for during three months of confidential mediation under AB506. Mediation ended Monday with no announcement heralding a breakthrough.
Bankruptcy apparently was not averted in the eleventh hour.
The pendency plan balances the city's budget by reducing benefits to current and past employees by $11.2 million and all but eliminating a city-funded health care plan for its retired employees.
An additional $12 million in bond payments won't be made, apparently signaling that City Hall is willing to give up its new marina. The city also is giving up three parking garages and what was to have been a new City Hall. Wells Fargo already has repossessed those properties.
None of the financial institutions Stockton invited into confidential mediation agreed to comment for this story Monday, the final day of talks. Any chance at a settlement technically ended at midnight, city spokeswoman Connie Cochran said.
Jennifer Coalson-Perez, a spokeswoman for Goyette & Associates Inc., a Sacramento law firm, said it was obvious to her that there would be no cause for celebration in Stockton.
Her firm represented two labor groups in mediation.
"Moving forward into bankruptcy - it's inevitable," said Coalson-Perez, who was not personally involved in the mediation.
It's been 162 years since Stockton was founded, making it one of California's oldest cities.
The community got off to a rocky start with an early struggle with its finances. According to a book written by Cove Martin in 1959:
The founders attempted to form a local government in 1849. They quickly found themselves in a mess.
A seven-member council formed and began passing city ordinances. The council hired a doctor to fight rampant dysentery and other ailments.
The crisis arose when the founders accrued $1,500 in debt, but learned they had no authority to levy taxes. Each of them were personally liable.
The fledgling Stockton government floundered for months as the city's muddy streets fell to lawlessness and daily murders. City leaders tried again and legally founded Stockton in July 1850.
"We didn't get off to a good start in setting the models for financial foresight," said Tod Ruhstaller, director of The Haggin Museum in Stockton. "We find ourselves again in an unusual situation."

Sometimes I long for summer nights in small-town America. Sitting on the front porch swing at my grandparents' house, chasing fireflies in the front yard, playing croquet with my cousins by the light of the moon (and a flashlight), competing in seed-spitting contests as I enjoyed watermelon with my uncles.
A simpler place, a simpler time. Or so it seemed. Those of you who live in rural America probably have plenty of other pleasant memories of your town, and they are part of what you cherish about the place you call home. However, you also know that running a business, particularly a fitness club, in a small town can be full of challenges. I got this impression with each of the people I spoke with recently for the "Shaping Up Rural America" story in this issue.
Few rural club owners strike it rich, but from the comments I received from these club owners, making large profits really wasn't at the top of their list when they decided to open a club. They just loved fitness, and they understood the importance of fitness to those surrounding them.
I witnessed that dedication a few months ago when I drove by a health club and personal training studio in a small town in Missouri. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday so the facility was closed, but I peered through the window of the club, curious to see what equipment was inside. Not much, it turned out. But what struck me most was the handwritten note taped to the front desk. The note implied that the club owner was a doctor. While the exact phrasing escapes me now, it said something to this effect: "If I miss your appointment, I apologize. I try to make every appointment, but sometimes I have to be late or reschedule. I hope you understand that my patients come first. I will reschedule any missed appointments."
I had visions of this club owner not only being the only fitness professional in town, but also the only doctor. Not only does this man have a unique way to get doctor referrals to his club, but he's holding down two demanding jobs that I suspect leave him with little leisure time.
Unfortunately, many rural club owners must hold down a second job to make ends meet. That leaves them little time to dedicate to their own growth by attending industry trade shows and seminars, which can open a whole new world to a club owner. They not only offer new business ideas, equipment and technology, but they offer a networking opportunity, something many small-town club owners may lack. Developing a network of other rural club owners as well as club owners in larger cities can prove invaluable. Yes, there is an expense to attend these conferences, and for a club owner who can't get a loan for new equipment or who can't afford to pay staff enough to retain them, that money may seem better spent on other things, but I would suggest otherwise. Creating a network and increasing your knowledge about business practices and industry trends can help re-energize you and pull you through in your toughest hours. And that's perhaps the most important benefit. Otherwise, who else will serve your neighbors?
