text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- The Buddy Nix era as the General Manager of the Buffalo Bills is over. The team officially announced on Monday that Nix would be stepping away from his role as GM of the team, and has been named a special assistant to the franchise. Hired back in December of 2009, the 73-year old was in charge of the past four drafts before stepping down Monday as the man calling the shots for the roster. "I've made this decision to step away from the General Manager's position because I feel it is the right time," Nix said via press release. "By the 'right time' I mean I think we have a good young roster, an excellent head coach with a good staff, and it's time to let someone else handle these responsibilities and move forward together." What will Nix's new role as a "special assistant" include? Bills President and CEO Russ Brandon said Nix will still weigh in on important issues. "He's still going to be a vital part of the organization," he said. "He's still going play a significant role with our football operation. He will assist me and he will assist coach Marrone and the next general manager on project work that we all work on together and we discuss." "I'm going to have my office at home. It'll be every thing I've got here," Nix added. "I get all the tape, I get everything. Whatever Russ, whoever the general manager is and Doug Marrone… anyway I can help I'll do it. I'm going to still come to camp. You guys, you're not going to get off that easy. I'll still be around." At this point in time, the Bills have not made an announcement as to who will be the next GM, but signs continue to point in the direction of Assistant GM Doug Whaley. Over the course of the past couple of years, Whaley has taken on more and more responsibility and even signed a contract extension on February 23. Regardless of the evidence, the Bills insist no decision has been made. "We have a plan, and we're going to execute that plan," Brandon remarked. "Today is about Buddy. And when I'm ready to address the other situation at some point we'll be sitting all here again together but I'm not going to do that today or any time in the very near future." A long-time member of the Bills organization, Fred Jackson looked back glowingly on Nix's tenure. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Buddy," the running back said. "I think that's the number one thing you like in this business is somebody being straight forward with you, and he's been that guy. He's told me what I needed to work on to be here and what I have to do to be here. A guy that gives you that type of input, you know you're going to listen to him." Before he waved goodbye to the GM post, Nix said he thinks the organization is on the right track. "I think the thing that probably I'm the most proud of will be the next two or three years if that makes any sense," he said. "I think we've got a really good, young roster. I love our head coach. I think he's a guy that's gonna win a lot of games here for a long time. And after spending the weekend with this group of rookies, 24 of them, I mean it's fun to watch." Nix first hooked on with the Bills in 1993 as an area scout and stayed with the team until joining the San Diego Chargers in 2000. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.

I'm in love with fit of this dress. Very versatile piece. Would be wearing it with combat boots for a more casual look. But can totally be worn as is for a cute girl next door look.
Wish they made it in more colors though.

The Trackside Lounge has closed.
Owner Stan Voecks died late last month, said Ronda McCarthy, who managed the bar at 1506 S. 60th St. for a decade. The bar closed a few days after Voecks' death.
Recently, the bar was home to a Sunday night open-mic night run by brothers Andrew and Joseph Janousek of the band Rock Paper Dynamite. They don't have immediate plans to move the weekly open-mic night elsewhere.
McCarthy, though, said she might be interested in opening her own little dive somewhere. The Trackside was like family, she said.
"We sure had a lot of fun."

I've carried this for a year in my jersey pocket on rides, and it's been great. I have not had to use the chain tool yet, but I've used several of the allen keys, and they've worked perfectly. Seems like high grade metal is used--I have not rounded off any of them. Not too flexy (I was worried about it being too flexy, since it only has one center support rail that ties the two ends together, but it's done just fine.) I've liked that it has a plastic tire lever that slides onto it on one side--the lever has been very useful to have a couple of times. I also wanted one that would work on a 10-speed chain (since some of my bikes has 10-speed chain and some are 9.)

So the integrated tire lever turns out to be a piece of junk. Used it for the second time just recently while home for the holidays and both ends snapped off while trying to mount a new tire. Expected much greater durability from a Park tool product.
Also, the plastic dovetail mount on the lever spreads a bit from use so it no longer stays put on the tool. This was the only thing keeping the loose bits from jabbing your hands during use.
Does the job
Princeton Wong
Member since
Pretty nice tool with most everything you could possibly need. The bits rotate a bit too freely and can move around in an annoying fashion since there are no side plates to keep your hands from bumping them while turning the tool.
I prefer the fit, finish and size of my Crank Brothers multi tool but appreciate the integrated tire level mounting on this one.

Ramos calls for Mardid unity
Sergio Ramos wants everyone at Real Madrid to stick together as the champions face the possibility of relinquishing their Primera Liga title this weekend.
Jose Mourinho's men take on Espanyol knowing that even if they win, Barcelona will secure the title with victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
A successful title defence has long been out of the picture at the Bernabeu, but the Copa del Rey final against city rivals Atletico next Friday provides Real with the opportunity to end the season on a high.
It has been a chaotic week for the Whites, with coach Jose Mourinho publicly criticising club captain Iker Casillas and defender Pepe and then being booed by fans before Wednesday's 6-2 win over Malaga.
The club then cancelled today's pre-match press conference for the match against Espanyol, only the third time this has happened in Mourinho's reign, which looks to be coming to an end with the Portuguese strongly linked with a return to Chelsea.
But Ramos wants the club to remain united between now and the end of the season, and told Spanish TV station La Sexta: ``It's time to put a stop to all the controversy, whether about the manager, Iker or Pepe.
``Now we need to find our team spirit, get focused and concentrate on the final. That's all that matters.
``We need to leave our egos aside and think about winning the final. Then we'll see.''
Espanyol forward Sergio Garcia is hopeful he and his team-mates can take advantage of the current turmoil in the capital.
The Barcelona-based club are sat comfortably in mid-table and Garcia would have no qualms with handing the Primera Liga title to their city neighbours.
``The atmosphere at Madrid at the moment is not the best,'' he said.
``That could improve before they face us but they should not come here expecting a walk.''
Madrid beat Valladolid 4-3 last weekend and Garcia believes that game was a reflection of the problems going on at the Bernabeu.
``Perhaps the environment is not good,'' he said.
``If not, as before, that could be good for us, given Real Madrid did not make a great game against Valladolid and only won by one goal.''
The Parakeets were bottom of the league when manager Javier Aguirre took over earlier in the season but he remarkably guided them into contention for a European place.
Defeats in their last two games have put paid to those ambitions and the Mexican, who is being linked with a contract extension at the Estadio Cornella-El Prat, is disappointed the season looks to be ending with a whimper.
``Our season was going well but the last two results have complicated our chances to fight for Europe,'' he said.
``We did very easily something that was very complicated, and now that we have to take a step forward we are not capable.''

The Adoration of the Shepherds late 15th century
Mary and Joseph watch over the Christ Child lying in the manger, while shepherds look in through the stable openings. The character of the figures, the stable architecture and general setting, relate to a well-known composition of the Nativity by Rogier van der Weyden (now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin). The prominent sheaf of grain may refer to Christ's birth place, Bethlehem (meaning 'House of Bread'), and also to bread's symbolic role as the body of Christ in the Christian sacrament of the Mass. The panel was probably painted as an altarpiece in the late fifteenth century.

The cemetery was built in 1855 and was once believed to be the largest in Pennsylvania.
But by the spring of 2011, Mount Moriah was all-but abandoned.
Years of neglect had turned this historic place- full of war heroes, prominent Philadelphians and just-plain folks, into a trash dump.
Cemetery volunteer Rob Hobdell remembers looking for the gravesite of his cousin Fred, back in October, 2010.
"This roadway was totally a wall of trash and construction waste," he said, as he walked along a now-clear pathway through tree-shrouded headstones.
He couldn't get near the grave.
"My reaction is not repeatable," he told Gordon with a smile.
The city of Philadelphia got involved, joining Paulette, Rob and other volunteers, and investing time, equipment and more than $64,000 to help begin restoring the beauty-- and dignity-- of this special place.
Without the city's efforts?
"It would have been mostly beyond hope."
A judge Tuesday closed the city's case against the former owners of the cemetery.
They're dead and gone, so there's no one to go after.
But Brian Abernathy, chief of staff to the Managing Director, says that doesn't mean Philadelphia will walk away.
"This site," says Abernathy, "has too much history, and too many family stakeholders to be ignored."
The long term goal is to name a new board to run this cemetery- with representatives from Philly and Yeadon.
Until then, dozens of volunteers will continue to chip away at years of neglect.
Paulette Rhone- president of the Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery, describes the work as, "like turning a ship. But it's starting to turn around, finally, and that makes me really happy."
The people beneath the gravestones may be gone.
But thanks to Friends they never knew, they will not be forgotten.

Lakers' Dwight Howard ejected from final loss of 'nightmare' season
The Lakers were swept out of the playoffs by the Spurs on Sunday, and Dwight Howard didn't bother to stick around for the end.
"It's like a nightmare, like a bad dream," Howard said of the Lakers' 2012-13 season. "We couldn't wake up out of it."
San Antonio defeated L.A. 103-82 to complete the Western Conference first-round series sweep, but Howard was already in the locker room, ejected shortly after halftime after drawing two technical fouls for disputes with the officials. The Lakers played Game 4 without Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Metta World Peace, Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks due to a variety of injuries.
As Howard exited the court, he turned around and offered some words in the direction of Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak, although he told reporters afterward he didn't remember what he did.
"Just frustration, there's nothing we can do about it," he said. "It's over with now. I've got to do a better job keeping my cool. It's very tough when you're out there playing. It's an emotional game, you don't want to lose."
With a little less than a minute remaining in the first quarter and the Spurs leading 23-16, Howard was surrounded and fouled by a number of San Antonio players as he gathered an offensive rebound. Howard responded by swinging his right elbow toward Cory Joseph and was assessed his first technical foul. The elbow, which didn't connect with any force, led to an exchange of words with DeJuan Blair.
Then, with 9:51 remaining in the third quarter and San Antonio leading 55-34, Howard and Aron Baynes were jockeyed for position in the paint. When the entanglement didn't lead to a defensive foul on the Spurs center, Howard turned and expressed his dissatisfaction to the baseline referee, who promptly assessed Howard's second technical foul of the game, which required the automatic ejection. Howard departed Game 4 with seven points (on two-for-two shooting) and eight rebounds in 21 minutes.
After beginning the season with enormous expectations, the Lakers finished 45-37, earning the No. 7 seed in the West. Their sweep at the hands of the Spurs marked the first time the Lakers have not advanced in the postseason since 2007.
"It was a rocky year," Howard said. "A lot of things happened that I didn't have any control over."
Howard, acquired by the Lakers in a blockbuster trade last summer, averaged 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in his first season with the team. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and said he plans to "step away for a few weeks" before he begins formulating his plans for the future.
Someone should have swung on Kupchak for assembling this mess of a lineup. Injuries or not, this was a poorly put together team. Are the Lakers ever going to draft and develop another player? They have gotten so fat and lazy. Just buy buy buy, can't develop any talent on their own.
Dwight Howard is a straight up fraud!
@VictorHayes When did he ever give you the impression that he was a winner?
This dummy still hasn't figured out that he does his best work when he's ON the court.
Dwight Howard is a top 5 guy who is capable of carrying a team on his shoulders to make a playoff run and will get his teammates involved in the offensive game at the right time.
-Nobody ever.
What wa that comment about Dwight leading a bunch of nobodies to the finals in Orlando? PoorDwight further proved how much of a perp and fraud he is and couldn't get this bunch of unwanted players past the first round. I don't feel sorry for the Lakers.. Championship teams are built with chemistry, unity, and a little luck, not bought like the Lakers tried to.
Howard WANTED to be thrown out of the game so they couldn't blame him for the loss. The Lakers are fools if they keep him. He has to be the one and only star to produce. He isn't willing to share the glory.

Hi folks
It's time to upgrade from clinchers, so I'm looking for recommendations for tubeless or tubular wheelsets. I'm getting a lot of peer pressure from friends to go with tubeless but I also see those same people having beads popping off during races, and needing to do lots of "experimentation". I just want wheels that work right the first time. Here are the parameters:
Opinions? Thanks in advance!
Views: 1473
A bit self-serving, but I have a nice set of Velocity Major Tom / Ultegra tubulars for sale (ad in the forum) as I am going tubeless myself.
Tubulars are great and the performance winner. But frankly, I don't have the time, money, or patience for them.
I'm in the same boat, looking for a set-up that just works. Tubulars are that for sure, I just can't swallow the price long-term personally.
So, I've taken a bit of a chance on the WTB new tubeless rim "ChrisCross i19" and will be building up a set with their tubeless ready tire. The rim has "shelf lips" (for lack of a better term) that I am hoping will reduce the chance of the dreaded burp while allowing me to run lower psi than I can with a straight clincher set-up. I don't think the rims are available in a factory wheelset, but could make a nice custom option for you and should make your price range with some smart spec elsewhere. They come 32 hole only though, if that is a deciding factor.
Thanks, that's really useful. The fact that I can get two tubular wheelsets for what one tubless would cost is a pretty compelling argument.
I was hoping tubulars would be the less aggravating solution though. Why were tubulars a bust - was it gluing them up or something worse? I really do want to keep things simple, and tubeless seems awfully finicky.
Tubulars are a great option. And after set up they aren't a pain. Glue them "Belgian" style and you wont have to worry about rolling tires off. I run my Challenge Fangos at 24psi front and 27psi rear and haven't had an issue for 2 seasons (and I'm a bigger rider, 200lbs). I'm also running a set of Major Toms (on DA hubs). They aren't deep or sexy, but they're wider (easier for gluing and great braking), pretty cheap (retail is around $80 per rim) and build up light weight (my set up is just under 1500g, without tires).
I'm going full on tubular this year, multiple sets for all conditions.
Hope this helps!
You can pick up a tubular wheelset for ~$250, maybe less. I haven't paid any more than that for any of the 6 wheelsets I have. So think about that in you budget. Gluing wheels is a reasonably easy thing to do. There are a lot of good tutorials on line.
I'll catch heat for it but I have not seen tubeless wheels work. Maybe this combination works for this rider but I don't have an across the board recommendation.
I'd start shopping for wheels now. Gives you plenty of time to find a set at ~$200. Pay what you're going to pay for tires (recommend Challenge for a balance of price and performance) and then figure out if you need to glue them yourself or not.
Thanks Chris, I hear tales of tubeless working but I've yet to see the critical mass of riders using them. I actually bought a set of Grifos last year but never got the wheels to go with them. If I could find a set of wheels on the cheap, I'd be good to go. And with the money I save I could just pay someone to glue them on for me...
I agree with Chris, I have not seen tubeless work with my peers, the faster one goes the more they roll off. Sure there are a bunch at the races, but when asking what other guys are running for pressure they are considerably higher than what those of us running tubbies are, and on our courses covered with gopher holes lower pressure is better! My wife and I switched this past season, tubulars are not a little better, they are superior. I have heard rumors in the industry that the disc brake revolution on the road/CX will lead to more 'real tubeless' rims, and the tire (hopefully CX) makers will respond with more choices in bead dimensions that will stay on at lower pressures and hard cornering on hard pack terrain, and that stay on down into the low/mid 20s.
As for gluing, I had never glued tubulars of any kind and it is really no big deal. After reading everything on the internet and watching vids I mounted 4 sets of wheels in late August. First couple were frustrating as I wanted them to run straight, so I started with all the rears and by the time I got to the fronts I was getting pretty good. I did use Clement MXPs and PDXs and they mount straighter than some others and being tubeless tubulars a little sealant 2x during season kept air in the tires against our goat head thorns. We did loose a couple tires with big punctures during the season, so, I ripped the torn tire off and picked off the biggest glue boogers and after a layer of glue on the new tire and a wet coat on rim popped fresh tires on. Done. I did not sweat the partially torn up layer of glue left on the rim from tire #1, just made SURE that there was good glue all the way to the edges. Love tubulars.
if you've got tires, buy Kris Fleming 's wheels. It's a great set up and you'll be happy you did! And you can still play with tubeless conversions and see if they work for you.
Ahh, a sticky situation.
First, if you're going to use tubeless, use dedicated tubeless tires and rims. Any other setup will disappoint you.
Tubeless tires WILL burp, just how much will depend upon your style and how much you value low (tire) pressure.
Tubulars will cost you more for tires, are a pain to glue, and a huge pain to reglue.
Tubulars are the tire of choice for traction.
I use tubeless for training and general riding, and tubulars for racing.
These are of course my OPINIONS (like assholes, everyone has one) but are based solely on my experience from racing and training 'cross.
Yes, Emil is correct.
1) Use dedicated, engineered to tubeless dimensions, tires and rims. Stans are not.
2) Tubeless WILL burp. My experience was that you will bleed on some of the burps if the tire comes off rim. IF I was using real tubeless set up instead of Stan's rims maybe I would not have bled. maybe.
3) Tubulars cost more. So don't train on them, and are not as easy as tubeless to mount or switch for changing condition.
4) Tubulars are superior for traction!
If you want to go tubular, go with Velocity Major Tom rims and whatever hub you like/can afford. Just keep in mind that good hubs are very serviceable and will likely last longer than 5 rims. Tire selection is intensely personal, and you'll want to have at least one spare wheelset for mud or grass, depending on which way you go on your primary set.
If you go tubeless, stick with Stan's Iron Cross. You can get them way under $500, now, as a lot of lighter racers are trading up to the new versions. I experimented with a lot of tires until I, at the end of the season, slipped on a set of Clements. Now I don't think I'll race anything else. I'm 180# and run pressures right around 30#. Bunny hops, manuals, big air, etc., they don't burp. Okay, they burped a little bit when my clumsy ass manual-ed a 2' drop-in. I may have been drinking that day. But I was able to finish the race just fine with no slip issues. FYI, I also mounted them exactly according to Stan's video instructions and never run them without sealant. Always let fresh tire changes set for 24 hours before racing.
It's hitting critical mass out here, surely partly due to my influence with some buddies, but for the first time ever last season, we had a cx ride (7 or 8 people?) and everyone was riding tubeless.
There's a reason top-level pros are racing tubulars - the do provide a supple ride, and often don't have to glue themselves, and even at times are never far from support on training rides. If budget was no concern, I didn't have to spend all the time gluing, and I never flatted in training, I'd always ride tubulars too (well, except for summer when I ride fatter tires than tubulars come in).
Some people even love the process of gluing.
You can see where I'm going with this, but tubeless works great if you get the right combo. I've had the luxury of trying a lot more tires and wheels than most. Issue 22 also has some good detail on tubeless variables. But because of the ability to change treads, cost, flat resistance (pinch, glass, thorns) and 85% of the low pressure benefits of tubulars, I'm a big fan of tubeless for busy amateur cyclocrossers who aren't afraid to get messy with a little sealant, be anal with setup (as much as you'd need to with tubulars) and pay attention to variables.
Good luck! Keep us posted on what you end up with. If you go tubeless the best advice I can give is just because it says tubeless doesn't mean it's great for low pressure cx. There's mtb, road, and cx tubeless. CX is the hardest but it really does work.

Hydrogen Distribution and Delivery Infrastructure Basics
Most of the hydrogen used in the United States is produced at or very near where it is used—typically at large industrial sites. As a result, an efficient means of delivering large quantities of hydrogen fuel over long distances and at low cost does not yet exist. Before hydrogen can become a mainstream energy carrier, we must first develop and build the infrastructure (e.g. the miles of transmission and distribution pipelines, bulk storage vessels, and refueling stations) that will support its consumer use.
How Is Hydrogen Delivered Today?
Suppliers currently transport hydrogen by pipeline or over roadways using tube trailers or cryogenic liquid hydrogen tankers. In special cases, liquefied hydrogen is transported by barge. Hydrogen also can be moved using chemical carriers—substances composed of substantial amounts of hydrogen as well as other elements; for example, ethanol (C2H5OH) and ammonia (NH3).
Transmission by pipeline is the least expensive way to deliver large amounts of hydrogen. and several lines have been built in the U.S., specifically near large petroleum refineries and chemical plants in Illinois, California, and along the Gulf Coast. However, in comparison with the more than one million miles of natural gas pipelines, the current hydrogen pipeline infrastructure in the U.S. is very small, less than 1,200 miles in length.
Short-Distance Road Transport: High-Pressure Tube Trailers
Hydrogen gas can also be compressed and transported over the road in high-pressure tube trailers. This option is used primarily to move modest amounts of hydrogen over relatively short distances. It tends to become cost prohibitive when these distances are greater than approximately 200 miles from the point of production.
Long-Distance Road Transport: Liquefied Hydrogen
By comparison, for a given volume, liquefied hydrogen (hydrogen that has been cooled to -253°C) is more dense and contains greater energy content than gaseous hydrogen. In the absence of an existing pipeline, this option is the preferred method of delivering hydrogen over long distances. However, liquefaction is costly because the process requires a substantial amount of energy. Nonetheless, due to the limited amount of pipeline available, hydrogen is often transported as a liquid in super-insulated, cryogenic tank trucks and later vaporized for use at the customer site.
What Are the Challenges?
Volumetric energy density, pipeline construction costs, and central versus distributed production trade-offs are among distribution and delivery challenges.
Low Volumetric Energy Density
For a given volume, hydrogen contains a smaller amount of useable energy than other fuels such as natural gas and gasoline. Because of its low volumetric energy density, hydrogen is comparatively more costly to transport and store.
High Pipeline Construction Costs
As mentioned, the primary means of reducing the as-delivered cost of hydrogen, via pipeline transmission, is currently lacking. Principally, this is because of the large initial capital investment required to construct a new pipeline infrastructure. However, there are also a number of technical concerns with pipeline transmission of hydrogen over long distances, including the potential for hydrogen embrittlement in the base steel and in the welds used for pipeline construction, the need for lower cost/higher reliability hydrogen compression technology, and the desire to prevent hydrogen permeation and leakage from pipeline and other containment materials.
Central Versus Distributed Production: Transportation and Production Cost Trade-offs
The method by which hydrogen is produced also affects the cost and method of delivery. Distributed production at the point of use, such as directly at refueling stations or at stationary power sites, eliminates the transportation costs for hydrogen delivery. Conversely, production in large, central plants required long-distance transport that increases delivery costs. However the latter approach also results in lower production costs due to greater economies of scale; i.e., the cost of production and delivery must be analyzed together.
Research Directions
Research is also focused on developing:
- Lower-cost, more reliable hydrogen compression technology
- More cost-effective bulk hydrogen storage technology
- New materials for lower-cost hydrogen pipelines
- More energy-efficient and lower-cost hydrogen liquefaction processes
- Integrated production, delivery, and end-use technologies.
Building a national hydrogen delivery infrastructure is a significant challenge. It will take time to develop and will likely include various combinations of technologies. Infrastructure needs and resources will vary by region and by type of market; e.g., urban, interstate, or rural, and infrastructure options (or the delivery mix) will continue to evolve as the demand for hydrogen grows and as delivery technologies develop and mature.

You may fancy yourself a sports fan, but chances are you don't know:
A fish eyeball was used as the center of some nineteenth-century baseballs
The race to make better billiard balls led to the invention of plastics
The Nerf ball was originally created to be part of a board game featuring cavemen
Balls are the unsung heroes of sports. They are smacked, flung, dribbled, crushed, thrown, and kicked. They're usually only the subject of scrutiny when something goes wrong: a tear, the application of an illegal foreign substance, or a dent from overuse. Nevertheless, if you're watching nearly any major sporting event from around the world, you're likely following the ball wondering where it will go next...
The Secret History of Balls mines the stories and lore of sports and recreation to offer insight into 60 balls-whether they're hollow, solid, full of air, or stuffed with twine or made of leather, metal, rubber, plastic, or polyurethane-that give us joy on playing fields and in every arena from backyards to stadiums around the globe.

Title IC: Migrant Education Program
The primary goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards AND graduate with a high school diploma that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning and productive employment. The Migrant Education Program provides formula grants to districts to establish or improve education programs for migrant children. These grants to assist districts in improving educational opportunities for migrant children to help them succeed in the regular school program, meet the challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards that all children are expected to meet, and graduate from high school.
Who Qualifies
Under Who Qualifies: Eligibility requirements are based on the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, sections 1301 - 1309, regulations, and guidance issued by the United States Department of Education. Migrant children are children who (1) have moved (2) across school district boundaries (3) within the last three years (4) on their own, with or to join a parent / guardian or spouse, (5) to obtain or seek work that is seasonal or temporary, in a (6) fishing, logging or agricultural activity AND (7) this activity is an economic necessity. In addition, a migrant child must be younger than 20 years of age and not have graduated from high school (GED does not mean the student has graduated/ received a diploma). Note: To be eligible for migrant recruitment, a child or youth must be eligible for a free public education. In Alaska, this generally means that the youth must be less than 20 years old and must not have a high school diploma. A youth who has a certificate of attendance, but not an actual diploma, is eligible for a free public education. A youth who is eligible for special education (IEP on file) is entitled to a free public education until the age of 22.
Services are those educational or educationally related activities that 1) directly benefit a migrant child; 2) address a need of a migrant child consistent with the state's comprehensive needs assessment and service delivery plan; 3) are grounded in scientifically based research or, in the case of support services, are a generally accepted practice; and 4) are designed to enable the program to meet its measurable outcomes and contribute to the achievement of the state's performance targets.

Medio Ambiente: Cultural and Environmental Landscapes of Latin America,"
continues this semester with a presentation by Judith Kimerling
entitled "Amazon Crude, Amazon Sued," at 7 p.m. Monday,
March 27, in the Whittemore Theatre.
Kimerling's slide presentation focuses on the environmental impact of oil development in the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador, and a lawsuit in U.S. courts against Texaco on behalf of Ecuadorian indigenous peoples and settlers affected by the company's operations there.
As well as being an internationally recognized expert and a leader in efforts to protect the world's remaining rainforest and the indigenous peoples who inhabit them, Kimerling is an attorney, author, and assistant professor of law and political science at the City University of New York Queens College Law School.
Described by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as "one of the heroes of the environmental movement," Kimerling is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Yale Law School. In addition to her book, Amazon Crude (published in English in 1991), Kimerling has authored numerous articles and has appeared on NBC Dateline, the CBS Nightly News, CNN, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's "Man Alive" series.
The lecture series, made possible in part by a Department of Education Title VI grant, is intended to enhance students and faculty expertise in international aspects of environmental issues.

Since parallels 7 and also with 8, it is possible to use 10.7 and 10.8 (Desktop not Server) in a virtual machine.
It is supported by parallels and works fine on a real mac.
When I try to open an existing virtual machine or create a new with 10.7 or 10.8 as guest on my Hackinstosh, I get the following message:
The virtual machine can not be started. Virtual machines with Mac OS can only run on computers with Mac OS 10.5.1 or 10.4.11 or higher.
On my Hackintosh is 10.8.2 installed and it works fine with VM´s of XP or Win 7. Also the VM with Mac OS 10.7 or 10.8 works fine on a real Mac but not on the Hackintosh.
Any idea why???

The disguise for developers to get more work and make more money, better known at the affordable housing workshops, came to end on Tuesday night at the Bonita Springs City Hall.
Wow, Richard Woodruff with WilsonMiller, an engineering consulting firm, and Pete Mootz, the president of the Bonita Springs Affordable Housing Coalition, are a couple of slick speakers.
"The computer went out on cue and so I will dance," Woodruff said.
I never realized that the music ever stopped. It's been a week long Waltz. And at times they were dancing by themselves. They still didn't miss a step.
Woodruff made excuses for the low turnout at the week's worth of meetings. One meeting was even canceled because so few showed up. Only 20 people, mostly Wilson/Miller employees strategically scattered throughout the room to give off an illusion of high attendance, showed up for Tuesday's meeting
"It wasn't about the numbers that showed up it was about the quality of the inputs," Woodruff said.
Even more disturbing Woodruff explained that he would only be recapping the meetings and not giving any possible solutions for the affordable housing void.
"There is no simple solution or a silver bullet," Woodruff said.
Mootz started the meeting by reiterating the projected populations numbers supplied by a $70,000 study that was paid for by developers. Mootz emphasized that to fulfill the potential need for work force housing there will be a high demand for land.
And where are we going to get this land?
Hint, hint: The DRGR.
Woodruff rattled through most of the power-point presentation, which by the way had several typos (I guess spell checking wasn't included in the $70,000).
Yet, showing his true allegiance, Woodruff did stop to talk about the idea of fast tracking the permitting process. Woodruff stated that builders say that the process is too long.
"Time is money," Woodruff said.
He's right. Time is money.
And anyone who spent any time to paying attention to the week long affordable housing meetings should be asking for a refund.
Because in my mind, it was nothing but a week long infomercial for developers.
It was nothing but a waste of time.

Racy Lady Gaga Girl-on-Girl Photos: Unearthed!by Free Britney at .
While she is happily dating Luc Carl, Lady Gaga has always expressed an affinity for the female gender physically, even admitting bisexual tendencies.
These photos taken in 2008 will certainly support that sentiment.
In one picture, Gaga is bent over an unidentified woman's knee (and not looking like she's having a miserable time of it, let's just say that). In another snap, she's going... well, she's in a very compromising position, let's just put it that way:
GOING DOWN: A rumored hermaphrodite has to do what she has to do.
THG has no problem with these photos whatsoever and doesn't see what all the fuss is about. If you're a Lady Gaga fan, does this surprise you at all?
If you're not a Lady Gaga fan, first of all, what's wrong with you. Second, what's wrong with a little experimentation in your 20s? She's open about it.
Radar Online broke the story and has an additional pic, but you get the idea of what's going on here. And it's pretty hot, right? Yeah, we think so too.

The G25 will be sold through December 2012, when it will be discontinued. The base G37 coupe, the Sport Appearance Edition G37 sedan, and the Limited Edition G37 sedan are no longer available. Silk obi aluminum interior trim on some models replaces the previous shodo aluminum trim...more
The Infiniti G is a luxury sports car that emphasizes the latter. Maybe that's why, for 2013, Infiniti is dropping the smaller-displacement G25 from its lineup and adding another Infiniti Performance Line (IPL) vehicle, the 343-hp IPL G convertible. Like the already available IPL G coupe, the convertible is set apart from regular G37 droptops by nineteen-inch graphite-finished aluminum wheels; sportier brakes, suspension, and exhaust; and a unique front fascia and side sills. Even though the IPL looks great, the convertible is probably our least favorite of the G37 body styles. The retractable hard top can squeak and creak on all but the smoothest roads, and when lowered, it effectively takes up all the trunk space. If cargo capacity is a must, the G37 also comes as a coupe and a sedan. Both are available with a seven-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual, if you opt for a Sport 6MT model. Those models come with sport brakes, sport-tuned suspensions, and power sunroofs, as well as a slew of technological gadgetry including navigation and rear parking assist. The Sport 6MT model is available for the G37 convertible, too. It's the priciest G37 trim level for any body style, next to the IPLs, that is. An IPL G coupe with a six-speed manual costs $5600 more than a G37 coupe Sport 6MT.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; traction and stability control; and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard. The convertible's rear seat has fixed head restraints with pop-up roll bars.

Bobby Barajas and James Fonda realized early that they were good at throwing a party.
During college, they emptied the rented house they shared and, in an attempt to make it soundproof, covered the windows with Styrofoam and duct-taped vinyl tablecloths to the walls. They brought in a DJ and two lasers. They told their friends about the party, which they called Rave 2010. Word spread quickly — 350 people showed up.
"The deposit was gone that night," Barajas said.
Even so, Rave 2010 proved to be a good decision, and since then, Barajas and Fonda, both 24, have become party wizards in Omaha. Over the past few years, the two have planned huge theme parties at Barrett's, Rednecks, Halo, the Shark Club, Sokol Underground and, this weekend, at Fun-Plex.
Their events, which they call "Defy Gravity" (or "Defy Grav" to avoid confusion with the trampoline place of the same name) always include DJs playing electronic dance music, but they also tend to feature less-expected elements.
They've handed out cans of Silly String to partygoers. (The first such party was such a success that for the second one, they ordered an entire pallet of Silly String.) They've invited saxophonists and a violinist to play alongside the DJs.
They've featured aerialists and hula hoopers, and once planned a Super Mario Brothers-themed event, in which guests could hunt for prizes in boxes adorned with flowers or mushrooms, just like in the video games.
They've also allowed partygoers to douse each other with neon tempera paint. Once, they shot off a confetti cannon.
They generally have just one goal in mind when they plan an event: to make it really fun.
"At most bars in Omaha, people are flexing their muscles instead of relaxing them," Barajas said.
Brent Crampton, a DJ and an owner of House of Loom downtown, said Defy Gravity events, with their diverse performers and activities, more closely resemble festivals than dance parties. Sometimes, they draw as many as 1,500 people.
"It's got to be one of the most coveted gigs you can score," said Crampton, who has DJed several Defy Gravity events, and for the past year or so has helped produce them. "There's not a lot of platforms like that."
Crampton attributes the success of the events in part to the recent popularity of electronic dance music — something Barajas agrees with, even though it wasn't really a movement he and Fonda were trying to capitalize on.
"We just kind of caught the wave," he said. "We didn't even realize we were paddling."
What they did have, though, were friends and ideas.
Fonda was the social butterfly of the two, the man who knew everyone. He now is in California studying to be a Navy Seal. Barajas was the one whose mind was always in event-planning mode.
Fonda, who grew up in Omaha, wasn't terribly social in high school. But when he transferred to the University of Nebraska at Omaha his sophomore year of college, he decided to expand his circle. He joined a fraternity. He was a member of the tennis team. He hung out with members of groups that didn't normally mix.
"I didn't really know there were boundaries," he said.
Barajas' interest in the technical side of events goes back to when he was in elementary school and played Tiny Tim in the Omaha Community Playhouse's touring production of "A Christmas Carol." During the tour, he was more interested in what was going on behind the stage than what was happening on it. He befriended members of the stage crew, asking them questions and noting both the gear and cues they used.
"I learned more than I ever could have imagined, and I had no idea I was learning it," he said.
Eventually, Barajas and Fonda both became adept at planning, promoting and various other elements of running what quickly became a business. As Defy Gravity's events became larger, they had to insure them. They began to work with professional vendors, they attracted sponsors, and they formed a corporation.
"Everything has been a constant learning process," Fonda said.
They'll put much of what they've learned to work this weekend at Fun-Plex, which they view as a blank slate. They're planning for three stages with a mix of live music and DJs, as well as a fireworks show and possibly skydivers — an appropriate touch, as Defy Gravity's name is derived from Barajas' and Fonda's shared love of thrill-seeking.
The events draw mostly a college-age crowd, and many of Defy Gravity's early fans have graduated and moved on from Silly String, tempera paint and late-night dancing. Fonda said he expects that Defy Gravity eventually may evolve, too; he can envision it one day becoming a music festival or similar event.
But not yet.
As the some of the original party-goers have moved on, younger ones have taken their place. And Barajas and Fonda plan to keep on throwing parties as long as they continue to show up.
"I have so many ideas," Barajas said.

Many seasonal adjustment procedures decompose time series into trend, seasonal, irregular and other components using simple non-seasonal finite moving-average trend filters. This report considers the design of such filters, both in the body and at the ends of series, based on specified criteria and simple dynamic models operating locally within the span of the filter.
In the body of the series a flexible family of finite moving-average trend filters is developed from specified smoothness and fidelity critria. These filters are based on local dynamic models and generalise the standard Macaulay and Henderson filters used in practice. The properties of these central filters are determined and evaluated both on theory and on practice.
At the ends if the series the central moving-average trend filter used in the body needs to be extended to handle missing observations. A family of end filters is constructed using a minimum revisions criterion and based on the local dynamic model operating within the span of the central filter. These end filters are equivalent to evaluating the central filter with unknown observations replaced by constrained optimal linear predictors. Two prediction methods are considered; best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) and best linear biased prediction where the bias is time invariant (BLIP). The BLIP end filters generalise those developed by Musgrave for the central X-11 Henderson filters and include the BLUP end filters as a special case.
The properties of these end filters are determined both in theory and
practice. In particular, they are compared to the Musgrave end filters
used by X-11 and to the case where the central filter is evaluated with
unknown observations predicted by global ARIMA models. The latter
parallels the forecast extension method used in X-11-ARIMA.

I was thinking that it'd be good to settle the whole "syncing with Google contacts" issue once and for all, since I can't seem to find a clear answer anywhere.
Let me describe what I know so far, and what I've experienced.
I know a few things for sure:
- There is an option to sync with Google contacts in iTunes
- There is an option to sync with Google contacts in Address Book
- There is an option to sync with Google contacts via the new push method (Microsoft Exchange)
- When you assign a picture to a contact on your phone, the caller ID results in the picture showing up full screen
- When you assign a picture to a contact on your computer, the caller ID results in the picture showing up in a small box in the upper right hand corner
That's about it. Now, up til about a month ago, I always assigned caller ID photos on my phone itself, resulting in the full-screen caller ID photos. Some of my contacts on Gmail would set their own photos themselves as well, resulting in me being able to see them on GChat. However, even though I synced my Google contacts with my phone (not sure if it was through iTunes, Address Book, or a combination of the two), photos from Google stayed on Google and photos from my phone/computer stayed on my phone/computer.
After a particular sync about a month ago, the photos for my Google contacts and phone contacts all merged (i.e. photos from my phone were showing up for that person in Google and vice versa). I'm not sure exactly what triggered this change, but this went on for about a month (and all my caller ID photos kept reverting to the small upper-right hand box after each sync). Sometime after that, I began using Exchange to push my contacts through the air, but it didn't seem to affect anything.
I just bought a new phone recently and reset everything. It now seems to have reverted to the way it originally was (segregation between Google and my computer in terms of photos). I currently have the contact sync feature in Exchange disabled, as well as the one in Address Book. Only the "sync with Google contacts" feature in iTunes is active right now.
Any ideas on what the heck controls/determines what? I really want for my photos to sync all as one between Google and my phone as it did for that last month, but I can't figure out how to do that. Also, I want it to not always revert back to the small caller ID photo in the corner after each sync. Any suggestions?
