The following editorial appeared recently in the Kansas City Star.
For 16 months the American people have been subjected to a chorus of scorn, squealed by the likes of Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican. It went something like this: "Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi."
Translation: The Obama administration screwed up, and we're warning you, Hillary Clinton, we'll sing this tune all through your inevitable presidential campaign.
Clinton, of course, was President Barack Obama's secretary of state on Sept. 11, 2012, when chaos beset the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya - her bailiwick - and a series of nighttime attacks led to the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
The loudest members of the GOP chorus wanted us to believe that the attacks were planned by al-Qaida terrorists and that Obama, who had trumpeted the decimation of al-Qaida, was covering up a horrendous intelligence failure with a flimsy story about an American-made anti-Islam video that was causing upset in the Middle East.
The fog of war never provides easy or quick answers. But, thanks to David D. Kirkpatrick of The New York Times, who spent many months reporting in Libya, we are now reasonably informed about what really happened on that tragic night. His investigation "turned up no evidence that al-Qaida or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault." And furthermore the attacks were "fueled in large part by anger" over that video.
Yes, it's much murkier than that, and indeed there was an intelligence failure, relating to how much the CIA knew about the extent of anti-American hostility among Benghazi militants.
Another sad part of the story: GOP critics don't believe it, and the opposition chorus continues.

Re: Impact of Auto loan payoff?[ Edited ]
10-23-2013 07:27 AM - edited 10-23-2013 07:28 AM
If you still have 1 auto loan open, then I'm gonna say your score will rise. You have to look at a balance of the types of accounts you have. Sometimes, a person with no mortgage account and pays off their auto loan early will see a decrease in their score, but where you still are keeping 1 of your auto loans open, this shouldn't be the case. If you just transfered the balance to another account, such as a credit card balance transfer, then you probably wont see a change. Unless, your balance transfer changes your credit card utilization ratio. Then, your score will probably drop if you don't have enough of a cushion between your credit card balance and your credit card limit.

Where'd did the "vast majority" qualifier come from?
All it takes is asking a LOT of people, getting a couple bad answers, keeping/airing only those.
Leno's been doing it for years..."Jay Walking".
But, still sad that a few people didn't know, were shy, or just plain suspect of this guy.
Why would students at some school in Spain know that?
Like totally.
I bet the pizza guy who delivers to their dorms knows what year it was, though!
I think it's partly because it feels like 9/11 never went away, so judging the passage of time is difficult.
But also because people are retarded.
doesn't 9/11 happen every year?
What's sad/funny are the ones that don't know what MONTH it happened in.
...or how to spell "9/11"
I was in college when it happened, and I knew it wouldn't take long before "Never Forget" was forgotten. Especially with the debacle we're in now. Who can even remember Afghanistan or arresting Saddam?
#2 ha ha ha, beautiful.
It was within recent memory.
Fuck me.
We're totally screwed.
9/11 changed everything.
...or maybe not. I don't notice much difference, except at the airport.
Soooo.... come on, now, are you going to tell us the answer???
San Diego is a helluva drug.
No! Why do you keep forgetting that this is a good thing. With every year that we lose our visceral attachment to 9/11, the power of politics based on screaming, "9/11! 9/11! 9/11!" decreases. I'm greatly looking forward to only remembering that anything significant happened on that date when I see pictures of the towers burning on the front page of the news, just like I always forget my mom's birthday each year til I see ships sinking at Pearl Harbor on the front page of the paper.
Well lets see here, the vast majority of State University Students across the US-of-A are in the 18-21 yr old age range. Scaling back the sands of time, that means that 9/11 happened for most of these kids in the 12-16 yr old range. I dont know about you, but I didnt pay attention to dammed thing in my early adolescence, except my ever-present stiffy for the boy-next door of course.
I wonder what kind of results you'd get if you asked people over the age of 25?
@17 - It is absolutely ridiculous that they don't know, but you make a good point.
Any freshmen they asked would've been 12 in 2001. They lack the perspective of the difference before and after the attacks. They've lived their entire semi-mature existence under Orange alert.
But geez, they should know the answer.
I'd say anybody who considers [Christian conspiracy-theory huckster] activist Mark Dice a reliable source of any information, including the time of day, to be, well... dumb. Very, very dumb.
But if Erica is a fan of Mark Dice's books, I think it explains quite a lot about where her half-baked, non-fact-checked theories come from.
yeah @1 has it. this just sounded like a tired Leno bit. That's okay Ericaa, i've recycled a joke or two by him, it fell flat.
yep, God Help Us, online communities is a "thing" worth "discussing" now.
did you make it to the BOAT show last night? i know you described them a "adorable" in your Suggests section. Besides BOAT and talking with a new post-collegiate transplant from PGH, I thought the rest of the "bike/park day" was dreck. It's okay, the sun was shining. Did you Suggest that as well? Such a nice sun for cooperating.
"Why do you keep forgetting that this is a good thing. With every year that we lose our visceral attachment to 9/11, the power of politics based on screaming, "9/11! 9/11! 9/11!" decreases."
if you're too stupid to know what year 9/11 happened, you probably lack the attention span to make ANY political argument. you can't even be manipulated by propaganda, since you don't care or understand what the hell is going on around you anyway.
Oh, god, let's don't be silly. You sure are adding a lot of info to this that isn't anywhere to be found in the material you're referring to, Erica.
"...trying to find one student--just one!..."
Nowhere in the tmz article or in the video does it say that he couldn't find one student who knew. Not only that, but he finds one, right there in the video, at the end.
And as someone else pointed out, you threw in this "vast majority" thing out of the clear blue sky.
The vast majority of the clips he showed supported his premise, yes. Shocking.
Yes, it's sad that any of these "adults" don't know the answer, but boy-oh-boy did you pull some serious Fox News shit on this one.
It's about time people started forgetting that event. Fuckin' A, it's been used as an excuse for so much bullshit the last 6 years.
How can anyone remember anything as long as the PodBudz' ears are filled with the insistent thrump of expensively-created noise? They don't want you to remember anything, and you're helping them all you can. Don't you get it? A US senator is allegedly guilty of soliciting tearoom sex, and everyone is focused on hanging him as if half the men in this country wouldn't be on the DL, opportunity and anonymity being equal. We're killing and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I think that merits a bigger pout than whether some lily white Idahoan gets his faced stuffed with cop dick. Priorities, people!
@18 -- So is the answer 2001?? You should have used a spoiler box.
Recent history is always the hardest thing for any college student to know anything about. How are they supposed to learn? It is not not covered in their history classes, those books always end a minimum of 10 years before the date you read them, and more likely 25 years. Newspapers generally assume knowledge of recent events as a foundation for the events of the day.
Those of you trashing the students should look up the important events of the year you were 12 and see how much you knew about it when you were in college.
I did this myself. I got an award from my high school as the best history student in the 700 person class when I was 17 so I would think I am setting a high bar. I was 12 in 1980.
Iran hostages - I knew a little but would have been very hazy. Abscam - Had no idea until much later. Mt. St. Helens erupted - knew about it. Mariel boat lift - still moderately hazy. Smallpox eradicated - would have had no clue. Iraq invades Iran - knew about it only because I represented Iraq in a model U.N., and still would not have been able to tell you the date.
In general even the things I knew about I would not have been able to tell you the year they happened. I did know about the cultural stuff, but I would think today's students would do well on culture as well.
I don't think this type of stuff should be an excuse to shake our heads and ask what is becoming of the young people. It is something to be expected and is in many ways a natural outgrowth of the way we teach history. It has always been a problem that recent history is the hardest to teach and I think it will always be that way.
It is easy to make people look like idiots by asking young people recent history questions, but a deeper analysis of how people are educated shows that this is simply unfair.
jim, the problem with all that is, as someone who is right in that described age group, i know exactly which year it happened in and have to snort in derision at those people who don't. to make excuses for these ignorant assholes is to empower their ignorance.
what this points to is that kids, even those pursuing "further education" at colleges, don't really value knowledge or education anymore. most kids my age are more concerned with who's fucking who and celebrity worship, even those who reiterate (suspiciously, in my opinion) that they hate "fasion, etc." it seems like the more kids deny taking part in such acts, the more they actually do when you watch.
you're acting like, because the schoolbooks didn't go over it, they shouldn't be expected to know it. that's ridiculous, and tantamount to telling people that they don't need to pay attention to anything going on around them.
don't get me wrong, i do my level best to stay out of politics and political conversations/debates, but i still have a basic working knowledge of what has led us to where we are now.
@26: I don't buy any of your pseudo-logic, but it was a nice try. These kids today have the internets that Al Gore so graciously plugged together with duct-tape...they can use that. Did you know that the internets are like giant tubes where they send information down the superhighways? I think some people get more recent data from these tubey things. As if 12 year olds have no memory chips installed in their brains! Like, OMG! ;)
Why exactly is it important that a college student know the year of the 9/11 attacks?
I'd much rather they understood things like why the minimum wage raises unemployment, or the benefits of free trade. That is, the sort of knowledge that ECB and her kind fail to acquire while majoring in something-ending-in-studies.
So, without using Google...
When did the shuttle Challenger explode?
In what year was the Berlin Wall taken down?
On what date did Apartheid end in South Africa?
When did Margaret Thatcher lose her position as Prime Minister, and to whom?
In what year did the Boston Red Sox most recently win a World Series?
And who shot JR, my fellow Gen-X know-it-alls?
I shot JR.
you're all like a bunch of useless doctors: pointing a festering wound and not doing a damn thing to make it better.
Aw, gee, Bellvue Ave, I must have missed that particular episode of "know-nothing fantasy doctor-land".
Which one was it where they all pointed at an infected wound, and they all laughed, and nobody did anything about it?
To what should I set my TIVO there, Mr. or Mrs Ave?
Or no, wait, let's just look at normal televised-or-otherwise court cases where doctors examined clearly infected wounds and then decided not to do anything about them.
Er, I'm coming up with, well, nothing, there. What have you got?
Thatcher was replaced by John Major in 1990. He famously never went to university, and in fact left school at 16. But I'll bet he knows what year 9/11 was.
Finding ninnies on the street is easy. This guy is just copying that Australian show where they guy found a lot of people in New York City who couldn't identify what MONTH 9/11 took place in. Quite a few votes for October there.
Challenger was 86 wasn't it? And the Berlin wall...for some reason my mind comes up with two different dates. Either 89 or 91? Of course on the wall I could be totally fucking retarded It probably happened in 81 or something.
This is fuckin' hilarious. All the bunched panties because some dipshit with a video camera made it look like no one knows what year 9/11 happened. How many people did he interview that know, but weren't included in the video? What a waste of a slog post.
I can't recall the date, but I know that FW De Klerk was PM of South Africa, and can go into detail about the process.
I think 1990, and to John Howard.
And it was Maggie that shot him.
Jiminy God!
robotslave, I get your point, but the questions you ask are not analagous to 9/11.
Instead you should ask about significant events in US history (your questions were about foreign countries politics).
What year did the US Civil War start and End?
What date did the Pearl Harbor attack occur?
What year did the Cuban Missle Crisis occur?
What year did Nixon resign?
I think those questions are more analogous to 9/11 then questions about the Red Sox. I liked the Berlin Wall question as it was a big event for US. Though, it was much bigger for the Europeans (i.e. Germans).
It's not like there's a draft or anything.
Why should they care?
Cuz of their PRAAAAHHHHHD in u'MERICUH
I distinctly remember the day JFK was assassinated - I was in high school. But I would have to think about what year it was if you asked me now. If the interviewer asked these kids what they were doing on the day of 9/11, he would have gotten a different answer. The point is, the question makes it sould like students don't remember 9/11 - which is not the same thing as not remembering what year it was.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
9/11 who?
As one matures, it IS useful to 'know' things, i.e. history, current events, geography, biography, entertainment, science - ya' know - just like Trivial Pursuit.
So like when you leave college and you're on the fast track in say New York City or San Francisco or London, you do not appear to be a dumb fuck. You can hold up your end of an intelligent conversation discussing ideas, politics, human behavior and most importantly, you "get" it.
Being socially ostracized because of your own self-selected ignorance is truly quite painful to bear and for others to see. As when Jay Leno runs across college students who don't know Mexico is directly south of the United States.
"I wasn't born then" is just a way lame excuse for embarrassing self-absorption.
Jay Leno had a bit where he went out on the street and asked vacuous looking types what month 9/11 happened.
It was amazing watching people get it wrong.
As I see it, the problem here is not that this indicates a lack of a knowledge of history. It indicates that they aren't reading newspapers or watching the news NOW. Every year around the anniversary, there are plenty of reports about "It's been x number of years." News reports often (although they don't always use the year), refer to the "Sept. 11, 2001" attacks. You don't have to have been an adult in 2001 or have an extensive knowledge of history to know the year the 9/11 attacks occurred. You just have to be an active, aware citizen who bothers to pick up a newspaper or click on the news feed that scrolls across your instant messenger program once a day. Seriously. This only happened six years ago and it's only in the news in some fashion multiple times a day in one of hundreds of sources readily available online. It's not hard to read a few news articles once in a while.
By the way, #39, without googling (although as I said, I don't think a knowledge of events that happened long enough ago to be in history books indicates the same type of awareness needed to remember the year of a current event that is still in the news): 1861-1865, Dec. 7, 1941, 1962 and 1974, in that order).
"Well lets see here, the vast majority of State University Students across the US-of-A are in the 18-21 yr old age range. Scaling back the sands of time, that means that 9/11 happened for most of these kids in the 12-16 yr old range."
That assumption gives these kids way too much credit. Forgive me if your comment was supposed to be sarcastic. Hard to tell on the Internet. Just because someone was young when it happened they can't recall the year? Certainly people must be able to remember how old they were when it occurred and therefore would know what year it was. My dad was only 10 when JFK was shot, and he remembers every detail of how he heard the news (he also remembers exactly where he was, at 15, when Martin Luther King was shot). I was 5 1/2 when the Challenger exploded and I recall the year and remember knowing about it, even if I didn't understand. I remember the Berlin Wall coming down when I was 9 (again, I may not have understood, but I remember). I remember the day the first Gulf War started.
Again, this isn't a problem of whether these students were "old enough to remember" 9/11, because clearly, I think they were, it's a matter of whether or not they bother to even glance at a newspaper or watch any news at all.
Most of these kids aren't dumb. I can remember events like the Challenger (in class, 7th grade), 1st Gulf War (Jr. in High School, everyone walked out, wheeee!) U.S. invading Iraq (watching TV in London, wondering if it's gonna fuck up my flight), etc. based on where *I* was, which is the recent-history equivalent of having to mentally sing the alphabet when some asks you, "what letter comes after P?"
Barely related, but I had "54-40 or Fight" rattling around in my head for months before I finally looked it up. "Jaywalk" with that one, it seems so obvious now.
@47: It's funny, I do that too, but I have kind of the opposite reaction: I remember when I did things based on world events. Like, I remember that I lived in the crappy apartment with the crazy drunk neighbor I was afraid of in 2001 only because that's where I was on 9/11. Or, I remember that something that happened to a friend in 1996 because it was the year Clinton got re-elected.
I don't think it's that they're stupid -- some of them may do quite well in school -- but they're certainly not paying any attention at all to the news if they can't remember the year of that particular event. If this discussion were about any other event, I wouldn't be so disturbed. But it doesn't seem possible to be unaware of the year of the 9/11 attack.
(In my original post, I had typed that my Dad remembers the years of those events, not just where he was, but accidentally deleted it and didn't notice until I'd posted.)
Not a suprise in the least. Did anyone see that the NY Times doesn't know the difference between the Declaration and the Constitution? That's why I say, we ARE going to hell in a handbasket!
Maybe people just lose their minds when they are put in front of a camera or asked something in public??? I don't know. I guess what is a little more important than knowing a bunch of dates is knowing what has happened. Do I need to know when Napoleon died? At least I know he existed. I can't remember the dates for the third Egyptian dynasty, but isn't it enough to know that one existed? For the dates all anyone really needs is access to google unless you happen to be on a game show or something. It is pretty bad to not know the date for 9/11, but there are more important things to know about it than the date.

For serious. The latest iTunes really pisses me off. WTF? It wouldn't be so bad if Spotify wasn't so godawful as well. Augh.
Strange. I thought that The Verge or maybe Gizmodo really liked the update. Oh well. I haven't used iTunes since about 2002.

The Limits of Election Monitoring
What Independent Observation Can (and Can't) Do
Today, the international monitoring of elections has become so common that refusing to invite foreign observers is seen as a signal that a regime has something to hide. Among the media and in policy circles, the importance of election monitoring is almost universally accepted. This uncritical treatment of international election observation, however, ignores a more complicated reality: that monitors can have both positive and negative effects. And now, as countries in the Middle East and northern Africa are poised to hold competitive elections for the first time, understanding the role and impact of election observers is more important than ever.
Election observation took shape in the post-Cold War years, as a number of regions, in particular Africa and post-communist eastern Europe, held multiparty elections for the first time. Today, the most active international election monitors come from the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), but more than a dozen organizations (including the Carter Center, the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute, and the Organization of American States) send observers to five or more elections each year.
On the positive side, observers can verify that governments are indeed playing by the rules, which can be important in quelling "sore loser" protests, increasing voter confidence, assisting the international community in assessing the legitimacy of the elections, and in theory, promoting democratization. And when governments do not play by the rules, observers can reduce fraud that would otherwise occur and condemn governments for election manipulation, sometimes

New hybrid sweetgum trees could boost paper, bioenergy production
July 14, 2016
Researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) have crossed American sweetgums with their Chinese cousins, creating hybrid sweetgum trees that have a better growth rate and denser wood than natives, and can produce fiber year-round. The hybrid sweetgum trees have enormous potential for the production of bioenergy and paper, said Scott Merkle, a professor in UGA's Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources.
Sweetgum trees thrive under diverse conditions, grow as fast as pine trees and provide the type of fiber needed for specialty papers-and they've long been desired by paper and bioenergy producers. However, harvesting mature sweetgums can often be too costly or even ill-advised because they typically grow the best on the edges of swamps and in river bottoms, which are often inaccessible during the wet winter months.
Bochum team engineers artificial hydrogenase for hydrogen production; targeting foundation for industrial manufacturing
June 01, 2016
Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have engineered a hydrogen-producing enzyme in the test tube that works as efficiently as the original. The protein—a hydrogenase from green algae ( [FeFe]-hydrogenase HYDA1 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii)—is made up of a protein scaffold and a cofactor.
The researchers have been investigating mechanisms of hydrogen biocatalysis for a number of years. In 2013, the team reported developing semi-synthetic hydrogenases by adding the protein's biological precursor to a chemically synthesized inactive iron complex.
JBEI, UCSD scientists develop systems biology-based workflow to improve biofuels productivity
May 21, 2016
Researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE)'s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), in collaboration with researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a workflow that integrates various "omics" data and genome-scale models to study the effects of biofuel production in a microbial host.
The development of omics technologies, such as metabolomics and proteomics, and systems biology have significantly enhanced the ability to understand biological phenomena. Nevertheless, the interpretation of large omics data into meaningful "knowledge" as well as the understanding of complex metabolic interactions in engineered microbes remains challenging. This new open-source workflow—which integrates various omics data and genome-scale models—drives the transition from vision to conception of a designed working phenotype.
New renewable hydrocarbon fuel pathway uses platform molecule acetoin produced by biomass fermentation
March 30, 2016
Researchers at Nanjing Tech University in China have developed a new pathway for the production of liquid hydrocarbon fuels from lignocellulose. The new Nanjing Tech process uses acetoin—a novel C4 platform molecule derived from new ABE (acetoin–butanol–ethanol)-type fermentation via metabolic engineering—as a bio-based building block for the production of the liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
In a paper published in the RSC journal Green Chemistry, the Nanjing Tech team reported producing a series of diesel or jet fuel range C9–C14 straight, branched, or cyclic alkanes in excellent yields by means of C–C coupling followed by hydrodeoxygenation reactions.
Biodiesel from engineered sugarcane more economical than from soybean
March 18, 2016
A techno-economic analysis by a team from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has determined that biodiesel produced from oil from genetically modified lipid-producing sugarcane (lipid-cane) is much more economical than biodiesel produced from soybean oil.
In their open-access paper, published in the journal Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining, the researchers reported results showing that the biodiesel production cost from lipid-cane decreased from $0.89/L to $0.59 /L as the lipid content in the cane increased from 2 to 20%; this cost was lower than that obtained for soybeans ($1.08/L).
Berkeley Lab researchers devise new technique to reduce lignin and increase sugar yields; lowering biomass pretreatment costs
February 25, 2016
Scientists from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Joint BioEnergy Institute have devised a new strategy for reducing lignin in plants by modifying a key metabolic entrypoint for the synthesis of the most important lignin monomers.
The new technique, reported in an open-access paper in the journal Plant & Cell Physiology, could help lower the cost of converting biomass into lower carbon biofuels and bio-products.
Newly identified enzymes from herbivore gut fungi may lead to cheaper cellulosic biofuels

A team of researchers led by Dr. Michelle O'Malley at UC Santa Barbara has identified several promising new enzyme candidates for breaking down lignocellulsoic biomass for biofuel production from relatively unexplored gut fungi in herbivores. To do so, they developed a systems-level approach that integrates transcriptomic sequencing (RNA-Seq); proteomics; phenotype; and biochemical studies.
The biomass-degrading enzymes from the anaerobic gut fungi are competitive with optimized commercial enzyme preparations from Aspergillus and Trichoderma. Further, compared to the model platforms, the gut fungal enzymes are unbiased in substrate preference due to a wealth of xylan-degrading enzymes. The findings suggest that industry could modify the gut fungi so that they produce improved enzymes that will outperform the best available ones, potentially leading to cheaper biofuels and bio-based products. A paper on their work is published in the journal Science.
Wisconsin, GLBRC researchers use chemical genomics to engineer IL-resistant yeast to improve biofuel production
February 14, 2016
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) and colleagues have engineered a new strain of the yeast S. cerevisiae that is more resistant to the toxic effects of ionic liquids (ILs) used to generate sugars from lignocellulose.
As a result, their xylose-converting strain consumed glucose and xylose faster and produced more ethanol than the wild type strain. The development could improve the efficiency of making fuel from cellulosic biomass such as switchgrass. The work is reported in an open-access paper in the journal Microbial Cell Factories.
NREL and BESC discovery explains higher biomass degrading activity of C. thermocellum; potential boon for cellulosic biofuels
February 06, 2016
Researchers at the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the BioEnergy Science Center (BESC) have discovered a new cell-free cellulosomal system in Clostridium thermocellum—the most efficient single biomass degrader characterized to date —that is not tethered to the bacterial cell wall and is independent of the primary (tethered) cellulosomes.
Their discovery was made during an investigation into the performance of C. thermocellum. The scientists found the microorganism utilizes the common cellulase degradation mechanisms known today (free enzymes and scaffolded enzymes—i.e., a structured architecture of enzymes—attached to the cell), and a new category of scaffolded enzymes not attached to the cell. Reported in an open-access paper in Science Advances, the finding could lead to cheaper production of cellulosic ethanol and other advanced biofuels.
UCR team advances direct production of chemical and fuel precursors in yeast
January 28, 2016
A team led by a researcher at the University of California, Riverside has adapted the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system for use in a yeast strain that can produce useful lipids and polymers. The development will lead to new precursors for biofuels, specialty polymers, adhesives and fragrances.
Published recently in an open-access paper in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology, the research involves the oleaginous (oil-producing) yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, which is known for converting sugars to lipids and hydrocarbons that are difficult to make synthetically. Until now, Y. lipolytica has been hard to manipulate at the genetic level, but the application of CRISPR-Cas9 will change that, allowing scientists to tap into its bio-manufacturing potential.
BESC study finds unconventional bacteria could boost efficiency of cellulosic biofuel production
January 14, 2016
A new comparative study by researchers at the Department of Energy's BioEnergy Science Center (BESC), based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, finds the natural abilities of unconventional bacteria could help boost the efficiency of cellulosic biofuel production.
A team of researchers from five institutions analyzed the ability of six microorganisms to solubilize potential bioenergy feedstocks such as switchgrass that have evolved strong defenses against biological and chemical attack. Solubilization prepares the plant feedstocks for subsequent fermentation and, ultimately, use as fuel.
Berkeley Lab team creates "cyborgian" hybrid artificial photosynthesis system; CO2 to acetic acid at high yield
January 05, 2016
Researchers at Berkeley Lab have induced the self-photosensitization of a nonphotosynthetic bacterium—Moorella thermoacetica—with cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (M. thermoacetica–CdS), enabling the photosynthesis of acetic acid from carbon dioxide.
Their hybrid approach combines the highly efficient light harvesting of inorganic semiconductors with the high specificity, low cost, and self-replication and -repair of biocatalysts. Biologically precipitated cadmium sulfide nanoparticles served as the light harvester to sustain cellular metabolism. This self-augmented biological system selectively produced acetic acid continuously over several days of light-dark cycles at relatively high quantum yields, demonstrating a self-replicating route toward solar-to-chemical CO2 reduction. A paper on their work is published in Science.
IU scientists create self-assembling biocatalyst for the production of hydrogen; modified hydrogenase in a virus shell
January 04, 2016
Scientists at Indiana University have created a highly efficient self-assembling biomaterial that catalyzes the formation of hydrogen. A modified hydrogenase enzyme that gains strength from being protected within the protein shell (capsid) of a bacterial virus, this new material is 150 times more efficient than the unaltered form of the enzyme.
The material is potentially far less expensive and more environmentally friendly to produce than other catalytic materials for hydrogen production. The process of creating the material was recently reported in the journal Nature Chemistry.
NREL team identifies major metabolic pathway in cyanobacteria for efficient conversion of CO2; better biofuels and bioproducts
December 12, 2015
Scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have discovered that a metabolic pathway previously only suggested to be functional in photosynthetic organisms is actually a major pathway and can enable efficient conversion of carbon dioxide to organic compounds.
The discovery provides new insight into the complex metabolic network for carbon utilization in cyanobacteria, while opening the door to better ways of producing chemicals from carbon dioxide or plant biomass, rather than deriving them from petroleum.
New method for creating interspecies yeast hybrids could boost biofuels production
December 05, 2015
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a simple, robust, and efficient method for generating interspecies yeast hybrids. As reported in the journal Fungal Genetics and Biology, this method provides an efficient means for producing novel synthetic hybrids for beverage and biofuel production, as well as for constructing tetraploids to be used for basic research in evolutionary genetics and genome stability.
Some 500 years ago, the accidental natural hybridization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae—the yeast responsible for things like ale, wine and bread—and a distant yeast cousin gave rise to lager beer. Today, cold-brewed lager is the world's most consumed alcoholic beverage, fueling an industry with annual sales of more than $250 billion.
Aemetis harvests demo crop of optimized biomass sorghum in California for advanced biofuels; ~90 days from planting to harvest
October 05, 2015
Aemetis, Inc., an advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals company, has harvested 12- to 15-foot tall biomass sorghum grown in Central California that was produced using proprietary seed genetics from Nexsteppe, a provider of optimized sorghum feedstock solutions. Biomass Sorghum is a feedstock for low-carbon advanced biofuels.
The 20-acre demonstration crop of biomass sorghum was planted, grown, and harvested by Aemetis in approximately 90 days, validating the potential use of biomass crops for the production of lower-carbon, advanced biofuels or as a rotational crop in California.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln leading $13.5M effort to improve sorghum for biofuel

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will lead a $13.5-million, multi-institutional research effort to improve sorghum as a sustainable source for biofuel production.
Funded by the US Department of Energy, this five-year grant takes a comprehensive approach to better understand how plants and microbes interact, and to learn which sorghum germplasm grows better with less water and nitrogen. This research requires a range of expertise, and UNL is teaming with scientists at Danforth Plant Science Center, Washington State University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Boyce Thompson Institute, Clemson University, Iowa State University, Colorado State University and the DOE-Joint Genome Institute.
Gevo begins selling renewable isooctene to BCD Chemie; fuel applications
September 29, 2015
Gevo has begun selling renewable isooctene to BCD Chemie, a subsidiary of Brenntag. Initial orders in 2015 are expected to result in revenues to Gevo of more than $1 million. The isooctene will be produced at Gevo's biorefinery in Silsbee, Texas, derived from isobutanol produced at Gevo's plant in Luverne, Minn. Gevo's biorefinery is operated in conjunction with South Hampton Resources.
BCD Chemie is targeting applications in Europe with Gevo's isooctene. This commences a relationship with BCD Chemie that may include the marketing of other hydrocarbon products, including isooctane and jet fuel, and builds on Gevo's existing partnership with Brenntag in Canada, which is currently selling Gevo's isobutanol as a solvent in Canada.

MSU researchers fabricate synthetic protein that streamlines carbon fixing machinery of cyanobacteria; potential boost for biofuels
September 22, 2015
Researchers at the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory, Michigan State University, have fabricated a synthetic protein that not only improves the assembly of the carbon-fixing factory of cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae), but also provides a proof of concept for a device that could potentially improve plant photosynthesis or be used to install new metabolic pathways in bacteria.
The multi-function protein, which the researchers compare to a Swiss Army Knife, streamlines the molecular machinery of cyanobacteria, making biofuels and other green chemical production from these organisms more viable. The researchers describe their work in a paper in the journal The Plant Cell.
DEINOVE and Tyton partner to combine bacterial fermentation solutions with energy tobacco feedstock for biofuels and bio-based chemicals
September 08, 2015
DEINOVE, a biotech company developing innovative processes for producing biofuels and bio-based chemicals using Deinococcus bacteria as host strains (earlier post), and Tyton BioEnergy Systems, an agricultural biotech company with novel tobacco technology used to produce green chemicals and agricultural products, have entered into a technology and commercialization partnership.
The main goal of the partnership is to combine Tyton's energy tobacco feedstock, process and production infrastructure with DEINOVE's Deinococcus-based fermentation solutions in order to produce green chemical compounds of high commercial value.
Tokyo Tech team engineers Nannochloropsis algae to boost oil production; method potentially applicable to other strains
Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and colleagues have engineered the Nannochloropsis algal strain NIES-2145 to enhance the production of fat-based molecules called triacylglycerols (TAGs), thereby increasing oil synthesis from the microalgae. The study's results suggest that the specific gene promoter used in this work could also be applied across various algae to boost oil production. The paper is published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology.
Triacylglycerols, or TAGs, are a class of lipids which comprise glycerol attached to three fatty acid chains; microalgae is known to produce more TAGs under nutrient stress conditions. When the algal strain Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is starved of phosphorus, TAGs accumulate rapidly following the overexpression of an enzyme known as CrDGTT4, which in turn is triggered by gene promoter SQD2.
Global Bioenergies joins aireg to push jet fuel application of its isobutene process; isododecane
France-based Global Bioenergies, a company developing a processes to convert renewable resources into hydrocarbons through fermentation, has joined aireg (Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy in Germany e.V.) aireg, an organization promoting the development and use of renewable liquid fuels in aviation, aims to replace 10% of German jet fuel demand with sustainable, alternative aviation fuels by 2025.
Global Bioenergies, which is currently developing its demonstration plant in Leuna, Germany, will soon be able to produce alternative jet fuel from sugars. Earlier this year, the company reported the successful conversion of renewable resources first into gaseous isobutene via fermentation, which was then subsequently catalytically oligomerized into a mix of fuel-range liquid hydrocarbons. (Earlier post.) The resulting product slate contained isooctane; isododecane (C12H26, a highly branched alkane well-suited for the aviation market); isocetane; as well as longer strings.
Berkeley Lab researchers advance hybrid bioinorganic approach to solar-to~chemicals conversion; 50% electrical-to-chemical, 10% solar-to-chemical efficiencies
August 25, 2015
A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have hit a new milestone in their development of a hybrid bioinorganic system for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. (Earlier post.) The system first generates renewable hydrogen from water splitting using sustainable electrical and/or solar input and biocompatible inorganic catalysts. The hydrogen is then used by living cells as a source of reducing equivalents for conversion of CO2 to the value-added chemical product methane.
The system can achieve an electrical-to-chemical efficiency of better than 50% and a solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency of 10% if the system is coupled with state-of-art solar panel and electrolyzer, said Peidong Yang, a chemist with Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division and one of the leaders of this study. A paper on their work is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Synbio company Intrexon and Dominion partner to commercialize bioconversion of natural gas to isobutanol in Marcellus and Utica Basins
August 20, 2015
Intrexon Energy Partners (IEP), a joint venture of synthetic biology company Intrexon Corporation and external investors (earlier post), and Dominion Energy, a subsidiary of Dominion Resources, have entered into an agreement to explore the potential for commercial-scale biological conversion of natural gas to isobutanol in the Marcellus and Utica Shale Basins.
Intrexon's proprietary methanotroph bioconversion platform uses optimized microbial cell lines to convert natural gas into higher carbon compounds such as isobutanol and farnesene under ambient temperatures and pressures. This novel approach avoids costly, resource-intensive thermochemical gas-to-liquids (GTL) conversion methods, and offers a biofuel that does not utilize sugar or other plant-based feedstock.
PNNL study of metabolic processes paves way to optimize lipids production in yeast Y. lipolytica
Lipid-derived biofuels have been proposed as a promising substitute for fossil fuels. The oleaginous ascomycete (sac fungus) yeast Yarrowia lipolytica accumulates large amounts of lipids and has potential as a biofuel producing organism; however, little is known about the key biological processes involved. To address this gap in knowledge, a recent study by a team from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) identified and characterized major pathways involved in lipid accumulation from glucose in Y. lipolytica.
This study builds a platform for efforts to engineer the yeast to optimize lipid accumulation and maximize the yield of carbon-based products. Because lipids from Y. lipolytica have chemical properties similar to those of diesel fuel, they can be readily used as biodiesel using current vehicles and existing infrastructure at gas stations. Thus, harnessing lipids from Y. lipolytica could represent a practical approach for transitioning more quickly to a biofuel-based energy system.
Researchers modify camelina to produce highest levels yet in transgenic plant oil of novel lipid acetyl-TAG; biofuel and industrial use
August 18, 2015
Researchers at Kansas State University led by Professor Timothy Durrett and their colleagues at Michigan State University and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln have engineered Camelina sativa—a non-food oilseed crop—to produce high levels (up to 85 mol%) of acetyl-triacylglycerols (acetyl-TAGs, or ac-TAGs)—a novel plant oil lipid with possible biofuel or industrial uses.
As reported in a paper in Plant Biotechnology Journal, this successful metabolic engineering and subsequent field production of the modified camelina crop marked the highest accumulation of the unusual oil achieved so far in transgenic plants. (Earlier work by Durrett and colleagues at the DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center had resulted in approximately a 60 mol% accumulation of ac-TAGs.)
Researchers propose 2nd law of thermodynamics-based process to select and develop microorganisms for optimal biofuel production
August 17, 2015
Researchers at the University of Maryland are proposing a new process to isolate and to direct the evolution of microorganisms that convert cellulosic biomass or gaseous CO2 and H2 to biofuels such as ethanol, 1-butanol, butane, or hexane (among others).
The approach is based on the theory that fermentation systems drive toward thermodynamic equilibrium. Physical chemists, observe Richard Kohn and Seon-Woo Kim, both of the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences, in their paper published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, have understood that all chemical reactions are controlled by either thermodynamic or kinetic mechanisms. With thermodynamic control, the feasibility of reactions and the availability of pathway branches depend on the second law of thermodynamics. This law governs whether or not a reaction can proceed spontaneously in the forward direction based on the concentrations of reactants and products.
U Georgia team discovers tungsten in novel bacterial enzyme; potential for cellulosic biofuels
August 16, 2015
A team at the University of Georgia, Athens led by Distinguished Research Professor Michael Adams has discovered tungsten in what appears to be a novel enzyme in the biomass-degrading thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii. Tungsten is exceptionally rare in biological systems.
The researchers hypothesized that this new tungstoenzyme plays a key role in C. bescii's primary metabolism, and its ability to convert plant biomass to simple fermentable sugars. This discovery could ultimately lead to commercially viable conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuels and chemical feedstocks. The research is published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
DOE BESC engineered microbe improves biobutanol yield from cellulose by a factor of 10
August 14, 2015
Researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) BioEnergy Science Center (BESC) have engineered a microbe that improves isobutanol yields from cellulose by a factor of 10. The work, published in the journal Metabolic Engineering, builds on results from 2011 in which researchers reported on the first genetically engineered microbe to produce isobutanol directly from cellulose. (Earlier post.)
Isobutanol is attractive because its energy density and octane values are closer to those of gasoline; it is useful not only as a direct replacement for gasoline but also as a chemical feedstock for a variety of products. For example, isobutanol can be chemically upgraded into a hydrocarbon equivalent for jet fuel.
New one-pot process to produce gasoline-grade biofuel from the bacterial biopolymer PHB
August 09, 2015
A team from the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute, University of Hawaii at Manoa is developing a new one-pot process to produce gasoline-grade (C6–C18) hydrocarbon oil from polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)—an energy storage material formed from renewable feedstock in many bacterial species. In contrast to conventional biofuels derived from plant biomass, the resultant PHB oil has a high content of alkenes or aromatics, depending on the catalyst.
PHB has already been identified as having great potential as an intermediate in the production of hydrocarbon fuels. One approach, described by a team from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Wang et al.), is thermally to depolymerize and decarboxylate PHB at 400 ˚C to propene, for subsequent upgrading to hydrocarbon fuels via commercial oligomerization technologies.
DOE JGI team identify regulators of lipid production in algae; potential boost for algal fuels development
August 04, 2015
Algae naturally produce oils that can be converted into transportation fuels, making this a potentially attractive pathway for large-scale biofuel production. However, high-yield lipid production in algae is a stress response—induced, for example, through conditions such as nutrient deprivation. One of the challenges of optimizing this oil production pathway has been stressing the algae just enough to produce lipids in high yields, but not stressing them enough to kill them.
Now, a team led by scientists from the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) has analyzed the genes that are being activated during algal lipid production, and in particular the molecular machinery that orchestrates these gene activities inside the cell when it produces lipids. The work, published in a paper in the journal Nature Plants, may help algal bioenergy researchers develop more targeted approaches for producing lipids for fuels.
Researchers engineer first low-methane-emission, high-starch rice; benefits for GHG control, food and bioenergy
July 30, 2015
Rice—the staple food for more than half of the world's population—is one of the largest manmade sources of atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Now, however, with the addition of a single gene from barley (SUSIBA2), a team of researchers in China, Sweden and the US has engineered a strain of rice—now named SUSIBA2—that can be cultivated to emit virtually no methane from its paddies during growth.
The new strain also delivers much more of the plant's desired properties, such as starch for a richer food source and biomass for energy production. SUSIBA2 rice is the first high-starch, low-methane rice that could offer a significant and sustainable solution. A paper on the work is published in the journal Nature.

Charlottenburg Palace was built at the end of the 17th century as a gift from Elector Friedrich III to his wife, Sophie Charlotte. A variety of successors made their own additions to this former summer residence, transforming it into a handsome and prestigious palace that is now the finest example of baroque architecture in Berlin.
Charlottenburg Palace is the largest and most magnificent palace in Berlin. Inaugurated in 1699 and originally planned as a small garden palace, it has been repeatedly extended and remodelled by famous architects such as Eosander of Goethe, Georg Wenceslaus von Knobelsdorff and Carl Langhans. In addition to sumptuous halls and galleries Charlottenburg Palace is now also home to an impressive art collection, including masterpieces by Watteau. The palace park is a large baroque garden and home to the Belvedere teahouse and the Mausoleum of Queen Luise and Friedrich Wilhelm III.

Actually, if the ball moves like that right before the putt, it usually moves towards you because it happens when you ground your club and move the grass blades down and the ball falls towards you. This is why if you grounded your club just before, it is not even a question that it is a penalty. DJ did ground the club, just not right behind the club, but the rules committee decided since there was no wind or anything else to move the ball, he probably did. If they really wanted to be dicks about it, they could have assessed two stroke penalty for not replacing the ball to the original position before playing.

|We are Awful
What I find interesting is that Baylor fans are acting exactly like Penn St fans. I checked out few of their boards and majority are upset that Briles is gone. They all blame the administrators and argue that Briles did what he was supposed to do (refer to administration), how great a guy he is and point to other players who turned out fine.
There is lack of sympathy for the victims (there is a lot of slutshaming), and most believe that Briles is the true victim in this situation.
There are also posts discussing why Baylor should bother firing Briles since they are going to get bad press either way. At least keeping Briles, they would have a good football team.
I am thinking this is the normal response by all football fans and not just PSU.
This makes me incredibly sad...

|"Holier-than-Thou" attitude
"Holier-than-Thou" attitude is exactly why these things keep happening.
Everybody thinks something like this cannot possibly happen at their institution, because "we do things right" & "we have morals". But this kind of thinking is dangerous because it makes you blind to things when something goes wrong. You make excuses like "I am sure our adminsitration is handling these things" or "the accusers must be wrong since we are not that kind of people". This makes it easier for true miscreants to hide behind the institution to rail against accusers and silence them.
Baylor is a BAPTIST college, a religious institution! If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere. If we have more people with that attitude, we can be more vigil and recognize it earlier when things go wrong. No one is immuned to this kind of travesty. It can happen anywhere. Hell, there were/are still many supporters for Gibbons and Lewan on this board.
More we recognize that, the better we will be.

The Full Screen option in apps on Lion/Mountain Lion is great for maximising screen space unless you run two monitors, at which point the second one just shows a useless texture. Is there a way to get full screen apps on the main monitor and still use the second monitor for displaying other apps?
Many users have complained about Apple's Full Screen Apps "functionality" behaving exactly as you've described. I haven't seen anything stating that Apple - which is aware of this - is doing anything about it. I wouldn't hold my breath. Sorry.
This appleinsider article discusses the issue in more detail and pretty much sums it up as no.
There is no way to have full screen apps that works with more than 1 display.

âJourney Into Mysteryâ is revolving around âFear Itself,â and is no doubt affecting the event, but it still remains removed. This issue progresses the story further, with Loki working his way through whatever plan he has. The next step never seems clear, until heâs taken it. Kieron Gillen has done a remarkable job segmenting each issue into a defined section of narrative within the larger tale. Each issue has a specific set piece or concept that you can list as being the handle for this installment.
The grand plan of Loki is going to read great in trade form. The plot twists and progressions will flow like a river without the structural issue breaks the monthly crowd endures. However, in short bursts, âJourney Into Mysteryâ has become a book that satisfies each month while also leaving a hunger for what comes next. Lokiâs plot is so intricately woven that as each piece of the puzzle falls into place you try to look ahead. The gaps of time between issues offer moments to think. Loki comes off as feeling ultimately prepared. Itâs as if he already knows the outcome and weâre just waiting for the big and inevitable reveal. This is a specific and detailed example of why monthly comics are a separate medium capable of very cool things.
This issue brings us Surtur, a bombastic fiery creature who holds the page well visually at all times. Iâm reminded of Ridley Scottâs âLegendâ a little, but a character on your page could do worse than channel Tim Curry at any stage. The interlude between Loki and Surtur is fun, though itâs starting to feel too easy for Loki to come across yet another powerful character to manipulate others to his whims. Loki is smooth, no doubt, but there should possibly be some more challenge to what he is doing. Each introduced character is becoming more a gateway to a plot token than a real player in the game.
Doug Braithwaiteâs art continues to effortlessly shine. He gives everything, be it a smirk or a godless realm, an aloof style that lures you in while turning its cheek. Itâs gorgeous and yet still manages to tell story and action. The art removes you from the fact the book is so often simply discussion and dialogue. Gods sitting around and talking becomes something more when Braithwaite controls the flow of the page.
Thereâs a fine line between mockery and smart writing. Thereâs a fine line between Stan Leeâs Asgard and Elizabethan theater â well, maybe not that fine a line. Thereâs a fine line between a good comic now and a comic that will always be good. âJourney Into Mysteryâ is crafting a large tale in digestible chunks and if you like it now youâll no doubt love it again later in different ways for different reasons. Get a taste of how Asgard should be; buy this book.

By DJ MontoyaJune 17, 2009
DIVIDE, Colo. - This week in the beautiful Colorado outdoors just south of Divide, Colo., 26 boys spanning the ages of seven to 17 from all around the nation are enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime camping experience courtesy of a non-profit organization known as the Knights of Heroes in cooperation with the One Good Turn Ranch - and a little help from Army Space Soldiers from the 1st Space Battalion.
Rewind to a little over two weeks ago. Maj. Eric Little, commander of the 1st Space Company, 1st Space Battalion, and a Knights of Heroes foundation member, was looking for volunteer support to assist the Knights in readying the ranch for the boys. Little turned to his comrades in the battalion for help, expecting a detail of only 10 to 12. To his amazement and that of the Knights organization a total of 32 fellow Army Space Soldiers showed up in front of the One Good Turn Ranch Main Lodge on the morning of May 29 ready to do their part for the worthwhile cause.
"The turnout was much better than anticipated. There was plenty of work to be done with the primary goal being construction of an archery, air rifle, and tomahawk range for use by the boys when they come," said Little.
Giving back to the community in his spare time, Little explained the purpose behind the Knights of Heroes.
"It was founded a little over three years ago by Air Force Major Steve Harrold. His best friend Air Force Major Troy Gilbert, an F-16 pilot, was killed while supporting troops in action. Gilbert had two sons and there was a void there when their father passed away. Harrold came up with an idea to provide some support for these boys and sons of other fallen Soldiers," Little said.
"Basically, we fly the boys to Colorado and spend a week with them doing activities like rock climbing, fishing, canoeing, horse-back riding and other activities," said Little. "There is a limited amount of grief-work conducted as well, but the primary purpose of the camp is to let the boys rage in the outdoors with peers who share a similar loss all while being mentored by men who care deeply about their future. Family members also have the option to visit Colorado and have an opportunity to visit with other spouses and visit local attractions while the boys are at camp."
The boys and their families for this year's session arrived June 14 and will depart on June 21. The boys attend the camp while the moms and daughters spend the week visiting sights in and around Colorado Springs.
Prior to the setting out to build the range, Little introduced Joey Truscelli who is the owner of One Good Turn Ranch.
"As most of you know we have been filming a television show for the past four years called 'One Good Turn,'" said Truscelli (or "Joey T" as he is better known).
"We are excited to be featuring this story of 26 boys along with the Knights of Heroes, an organization that is simply amazing. These boys all have something in common; they have each lost a father serving our country. This special episode is titled 'Sons of the Fallen.'"
Joey T personally thanked each and every Army Space Soldier from the 1st Space Battalion onsite throughout the day giving them a One Good Turn T-shirt and providing lunch in the form of hot dogs with all the fixings.
"This place we purchased two and a half years ago - it still is a little run down, but every time people like you come out here it helps us a bunch. So we really appreciate you guys."
After getting their assignments, volunteers from the battalion moved into action with the same dedication they have while performing their daily missions of providing Space-based capabilities and products to the warfighters on the ground, only this time it was for sons of the fallen heroes.
Armed with tools, building materials, and some guidance supplied by three members from the Knights' organization, Army Space Soldiers proceeded to clean up around the cabins, move bales of hay and picnic tables, clear dead brush and branches, and build a massive fire pit, all in addition to their main goal of constructing an activities range from scratch.
Loading bales of hay into his truck for transport to the archery range, Lt. Col. Thomas James, commander of the 1st Space Battalion, said, "This is exactly the type of community service I've been looking for the battalion to become involved with."
"The whole day was a success as far as I am concerned," said Capt. Everetta J. Davis, commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Space Battalion.
"Not only did we get the range complete, but we cleaned up the area and completed a fire pit."
"This will enable the kids to really enjoy themselves and it enabled my Soldiers to see what can be accomplished when you work together. This is an incredible cause and we were so glad to participate in this. Personally, it was great to be doing something for kids and to show Soldiers how satisfying volunteer work can be. We look forward to continuing this type of work."
Would the battalion Soldiers welcome another opportunity to assist' Sgt. Matthew M. Olevano, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Space Battalion, put it best with a simple, "Yes."
"We would like to do this type of community service in the future because it allows us to give back to the community and it also allows us to help out and assist family members of fallen Soldiers."
By mid-afternoon Little gathered all of the day's participants around a makeshift campfire to assess the day's accomplishments as a few Soldiers roasted hot dogs over the flames.
"A lot of work was done, and a lot of things were accomplished. If you haven't already done so, I encourage everyone to walk up to the Elk Lodge and take a look at the fire pit many of you dug. It is a good piece of work. We also filled a couple of truckloads worth of dirt to fill holes around the lake, got a lot of the slash piles chopped up and wood moved. Thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Thomas James, commander of the 1st Space Battalion for allowing this to happen."
Little's comments were echoed by the founder of the Knights of Heroes and one of the helpers in the day's activities.
"There are only six of us on the foundation," said Harrold.
"The work you have done today would have taken us probably six weekends to accomplish. It is immeasurable the amount of work you guys were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. And really, we can't do it without people like you coming out and helping us. Look for the show, sometime in the fall we hope, and you can say 'Well, I built that!' And you will see the smiles on the kid's faces."
James presented Harrold with a battalion coin stating, "The work that you have done for those kids is just amazing. And to give us the opportunity to come over here and be part of this is just as important to us as I think it is to the kids who are receiving your support."
According to Joey T. the end result of the boys experience this week will be aired sometime in the fall on a major network television broadcast.

Ridiculous Fishing has passed 300,000 sales
Ridiculous Fishing as sold ridiculously well. Vlambeer founders Jan Willem Nijman and Rami Ismail announced during their GDC Europe presentation that the game has hit the 300,000 sales mark on the Apple App Store.
It's a whopping success if you consider that it sells for $3. "It's nice," said Nijman.
It turns out that Ridiculous Fishing was almost a freemium game. In the early stages of creation Vlambeer considered offering the game free of charge and charging $1000 for an in-game boat. In the end it was decided that this didn't fit with their development style.
Good call.

In 2006, the Mid-SouthÔÇÖs first case of Asian soybean rust in soybeans is a central Louisiana sentinel plot. Announced on Wednesday (July 26), the ASR was discovered on the Dean Lee Research Station south of Alexandria in a Group 5 variety. The plants were infected at R-7, fairly late in the growth cycle.
After looking at plot leaf samples under a microscope, Clayton Hollier estimates 75 percent have rust. The LSU AgCenter plant pathologist says there are between eight and 10 pustules per leaf.
ÔÇ£The pustules were fairly new and theyÔÇÖre sporulating vigorously. Many spores are being produced that can spread to adjacent plants and anywhere the wind will take them. And, lately, conditions in much of Louisiana have been absolutely perfect for rust development.ÔÇØ
Those favorable weather conditions ÔÇö humid, overcast and frequent showers ÔÇö are continuing and have allowed ASR ÔÇ£to explode.ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£I was just speaking with people in both central and northeastern parts of the state and theyÔÇÖre being rained on, right now,ÔÇØ said Hollier on Thursday morning (July 27). ÔÇ£So, our concerns havenÔÇÖt let up.ÔÇØ
Since the find, scouting for the disease has intensified. A 3-mile to 4-mile radius around the infected sentinel plot is currently being combed.
The LSU AgCenter is ÔÇ£scrambling to get the word out on ASR,ÔÇØ says David Lanclos, the stateÔÇÖs soybean specialist.
Fungicide recommendations should be made on a field-by-field basis, says Lanclos. There are several factors that should go into the spraying decisions:
ÔÇó First, obviously, is the growth stage.
ÔÇó Second, what is the yield potential for the crop?
ÔÇó Third, have the fields already been sprayed?
ÔÇ£In many situations, crops are at R-4 but werenÔÇÖt sprayed with anything at R-3. That kind of situation means the recommendations, by product, can change very rapidly. ItÔÇÖs very difficult to make blanket recommendations ÔÇö spray Product A or Product B ÔÇö across all your fields.ÔÇØ
Soybean fields are at varying growth stages and have been grown using a variety of cultural practices.
ÔÇ£All those factors must be considered when making a fungicide decision. But farmers should be very positive about this ÔÇö the fungicides will work! We just need to make sure the right compound is put out at the proper rate, at the proper time. Everyone needs to make educated decisions.ÔÇØ
Lanclos estimates some 240,000 to 260,000 Louisiana soybean acres are in an ASR-susceptible growth stage. Those acres are mostly in south-central and southwest parishes. There are also a handful of vulnerable fields in northwest and northeast Louisiana planted behind wheat.
Prior to the Alexandria find, ASR had already been found on kudzu in southern Louisiana.
The northern tier of the state has remained fairly dry. Hollier says the chances of ASR having made it there are ÔÇ£fairly slim. But in the southern half of the state, where daily showers have hit regularly, the probability of rust means a fungicide application is a good idea.ÔÇØ
Many producers are asking if theyÔÇÖll have to spray a fungicide twice. ÔÇ£I wish I knew,ÔÇØ Lanclos says from a truckbed where he just finished speaking to farmers. ÔÇ£But at this point, any answer would be pure speculation.ÔÇØ

Thank you!!
I want to know if this plugin is compatible with WPML.
Thank you!!
There are currently translations for German, French and Dutch included with Job Manager, so these languages should switch normally when you switch languages on your site.
It currently doesn't support posting jobs in multiple languages, I'll be looking at this for future versions.
Thank you!! :-)
Hi Gary,
If you think about adding multilingual support for WPML, have a look at the String translation feature.
You can register jobs as strings and then display them with the icl_t filter. It's very similar to how gettext works, only meant for dynamic texts.
Your users will be able to translate those texts using WPML's string translation page, so you don't need to change anything in the GUI.
We can help you if you need.
Nice, thanks for the info. Adding translations is on my ever-growing TODO list, I'll checkout integrating WPML support.
That will be amazing!! Thank you both!!
Pento, I can help you with spanish translation. :)
Help with translating is always welcome!
I handle my translations on http://translations.pento.net/ . Send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I'll create an account for you.
Email sent, thank you!
any news on ther integration of WPML and Job Manager ?
Not at this point. As nice as it would be, WPML support is low on my list - there are just way too many other features to work on first. :)
Any idea how I can make JM multilingual with WPML through simple adjustments maybe?

The amazing story of Harriet Tubman. Born a slave in the Deep South of the US, she escaped via the Underground Railroad to the north, then went back and helped some 70 more slaves to escape, at great personal risk. She worked as a nurse for the Northern side in the Civil War and was also the first woman to lead an armed assault in that war, in a raid rescuing some 700 slaves. After the war she fought for the right of women to vote. Denied proper pay, pension or recognition for most of her life, she was buried with military honours and is now recognised as a great American hero.
