Competitiveness, role, and impact of microalgal biodiesel in the global energy future
This paper examines the competitiveness, role, and impact of microalgal biodiesel in the 21st century using a global energy system model with a detailed technological representation. The major conclusions are the following. First, the competitiveness of microalgal biodiesel decreases as CO2 stabilization constraints become more stringent. The share of microalgal biodiesel and renewable jet fuel produced from it in total global final energy consumption over the time horizon 2010–2100 is 5.1% in the case without CO2 constraints compared with 3.9% and 0.7% in the case of CO2 stabilization at 550ppmv and 400ppmv, respectively. This is because production and combustion of microalgal biodiesel release as much CO2 as is captured from anthropogenic sources and assimilated by microalgae and because CO2 prices raised by stringent CO2 stabilization constraints make the economics of microalgal biodiesel unattractive. Second, the competitiveness of microalgal biodiesel is also greatly affected by microalgal production cost and microalgal lipid yield. Under a 400ppmv CO2 stabilization constraint, a 50% microalgal production cost decrease leads to increase in total global microalgal biodiesel production over the time horizon by a factor of 6.5, while a 50% microalgal lipid yield increase leads to increase in it by a factor of 4.5. Third, microalgal biodiesel plays an important role in satisfying the energy demand in the transport sector, thereby replacing petroleum products and Fischer–Tropsch synfuels. An increasing proportion of microalgal biodiesel is converted into renewable jet fuel over time to be used as a fuel for aircraft. Fourth, either without CO2 constraints or under the 550ppmv CO2 stabilization constraint, the participation of microalgal biodiesel in the global energy market would have a large impact on the global energy supply and consumption structure. This is not only because of its substitution for other forms of final energy, but also because of the need to satisfy the demand for CO2 for microalgal production.

Alligator Lopper
If you're not quite living in the wilderness, and only have small tree and shrub branches to handle, this reptile will do the trick. The clamping jaw design grabs and prunes tree branches up to four inches in diameter, behaving like a shear with a bite. Use it for in-between jobs that are too big for manual pruners and too small for chain saws. At least one homeowner we know of has replaced his high-power chain saws with this lopper because it's quiet, gasoline-free model that stays sharp.

Ben Stiller to One-Night Host 'Talk Show'
To benefit Project ALS, the comedian and actor is going to do his own version of Conan O'Brien for a night, which even he admits he is 'ill-equipped to do.'
On October 7, Ben Stiller returns to town as the "host and creative director" of the Project ALS gala at the Waldorf=Astoria; it's a benefit for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the degenerative neurological disease that befell his friend Jennifer Estess, with whom he co-founded downtown theater group Naked Angels in the early eighties. "With all the other causes out there in the world, it's been hard to gain attention," says Stiller, who has hosted several ALS events in the last decade. "The theme of the evening is that we're getting away from doing the typical fund-raiser. So I'm going to do it like it's my own talk show, like Carson or Letterman, which I'm ill-equipped to do because I'm just not good at that."
Chris Rock and Jon Stewart are expected to appear; Daily Show writer Ed Helms and Pippin Parker, Sarah Jessica's brother, have contributed material. "It will have a format and band," says Stiller. "Just hopefully be a lot of fun and ridiculous. Everyone knows why they're there — we don't need to pound them over the head with the heaviness of the disease."
Proceeds partly benefit a foundation for stem-cell research. As for the election, "I'm a big Obama supporter, he says. "But it's interesting to see how people watch the debates through their own lens. For me, it's just very important — regardless of where people come down on the debates, even what their views are — everybody has to vote. We have to get out the youth vote, and everyone has to exercise their right to vote. This election is just too important."

Off-Campus Dining:
I lived right across from Wisey's this year (Wisemiller's Deli) which was a blessing and a curse because I probably ate there too much. I also lived just a few blocks from Sweetgreen, which was amazing since I went there all the time. Baked and Wired has amazing cupcakes, so skip Georgetown cupcakes (which always has a huge line). Also skip Saxby's, which is more expensive than any other coffee shop around. There are a lot of options around campus, both in the neighborhood and on M street and Wisconsin, etc.
Off-Campus Dining:
We probably have some of the best off-campus dining ever!! Just go down M or Wisconsin. Some options are a bit pricey, but others are totally reasonable. Check out your dorm lobby for coupons. There are a few places (Eat & Joy, Muncheez) that are open practically all night.
Off-Campus Dining:
M Street has the best options!
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a ton of restaurants close to campus. Since it's D.C. some of the restaurants can be expensive. There are a a good number of late night spots to eat on the weekends.
Off-Campus Dining:
It cannot get much better than M street. It has everything anyone could ever want or need.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There are more than 100 restaurants within a 20-minute walk from campus, and you'd be hard-pressed to find many students who have bad things to say about more than two or three of them. In terms of price, speed, ethnicity, formality, and clientele, there exists a nearly indescribable variety of eateries. From the famed and beloved Tombs and Wisemiller's to the upscale Italian and French bistros on M Street, the options are staggering. Little surprise that Hoyas report one of their favorite traditions is to go out to dinner on the dime of visiting parents whenever possible.
The Georgetown neighborhood is prime for a night out, and greasy college food can be found right on Wisconsin at Five Guys or the classic Georgetown restaurant, Wingo's. It's difficult to find a Georgetown student who does not absolutely love the food options around campus.

TITLE: Counter Wildlife Trafficking (CWT) Advisor
OFFICE: Environment and Natural Resources Management USAID Kenya
GRADE: USPSC Local Hire – GS 14 ($85,544.00 - $111,203.00)
REQUIRED CLEARANCE: Secret
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Two years renewed contract, annually based on performance and funds availability
WHO MAY APPLY: U.S. Citizens Currently Residing in Kenya
On July 1, 2013, President Obama signed an Executive Order on Combating Wildlife Trafficking (EO) to address the significant effects of wildlife trafficking on the national interests of the United States. The EO defines wildlife trafficking as "the poaching of protected species and the illegal trade in wildlife and their derivative parts and products." The EO creates an USG Interagency Task Force on Wildlife Trafficking, charged to produce a US National Strategy that considers USG actions both to combat trafficking and to curb consumer demand, including: (a) support for anti-poaching activities; (b) coordinating regional law enforcement efforts; (c) developing and supporting effective legal enforcement mechanisms; and (d) developing strategies to reduce illicit trade in, and consumer demand for protected species. Per the EO, elements of USG Mission, bilateral and regional actions would include assistance to governments in countries where trafficking is taking place to strengthen capacity for interdiction, enforcement and prosecution. USG support should also consider how to support existing or nascent regional institutions with a mandate to combat wildlife trafficking.
Wildlife trafficking has become a lucrative trade, taking a serious toll on target species, driving poaching activities, and robbing Kenya and the broader East African nations of precious resources, including elephant and rhinoceros. Proceeds from wildlife trafficking often fund illicit activities that lead to insecurity, examples of which have already been seen in the broader EA region.
Wildlife in East Africa is a regional and national asset, attracting tourists from around the world, providing employment and income to local people, and bringing in significant foreign exchange to the region. Across Africa, wildlife is under threat. Human population growth, habitat loss, and illegal hunting (poaching) are causing declines of many species. Elephants and rhinos are under particular threat as international demand for elephant ivory and rhino horn has grown and prices have skyrocketed. African governments are struggling to combat poaching of select species as well as the trafficking of the illegal products generated.
In recent years, illegal wildlife trafficking has become a lucrative trade, taking a serious toll on target species and robbing developing nations of resources. During this period, poachers have become more organized and well-equipped, often working in coordinated syndicates. They are well-armed and pose a threat to local stability and threaten the lives of those charged with protecting the wildlife resource. The U.S. Government has recognized the scope and impact of illegal wildlife trade and has prioritized action to prevent poaching. Former Secretary of State Clinton was very firm in her remarks at the Partnership Meeting on Wildlife Trafficking she hosted on November 8, 2012. She recognized that poaching is not only a conservation issue but is "a national security issue, a public health issue, and an economic security issue." She went on to emphasize several important points in her remarks and outlined the important role of U.S. Government assistance.
The CWT Advisor is a new position and represents USAID's commitment to securing East African wildlife by dedicating qualified staff and resources to achieve our objectives.
The CWT Advisor will have a wide range of representational and communication responsibilities, working as a senior member of the new USAID/Nairobi Platform Environment Office (combining the previous USAID/East Africa and USAID/Kenya Mission Environment Offices), within the Biodiversity Team which covers all regional and Kenya programming.
The CWT Advisor will coordinate within the broader USG anti-trafficking effort and will engage with high-level technical and political stakeholders within the GOK and relevant regional bodies like the Lusaka Agreement Task Force and the Horn of Africa Wildlife Enforcement Network. The CWT Advisor will be the primary point of contact between USAID's regional CWT activities and with USAID bilateral missions in Africa and Asia in order to effectively coordinate and leverage resources for greater impact.
The CWT Advisor will also participate in donor coordination as it pertains to wildlife, as well as engage civil society and the private sector to advance and leverage USAID strategic support through a broader consortium of actors.
The CWT Advisor's duties will include facilitating a community of practice on CWT among USAID missions working to combat wildlife trafficking in East Africa, and building connections and joint action with USAID missions and anti-trafficking programs in Asia.
The CWT Advisor will accomplish the goals of the position through a mix of engagement, coordination and program management as it pertains to CWT.
The CWT Advisor may be called upon to provide written and oral briefing materials for various US Ambassadors in East African countries and in particular to the US Ambassador to Kenya; plan for and staff , official visitors and USG agency leads visiting Kenya; serve as a lead technical advisor to both USAID regional and Kenya programs on CWT as well as to the broader USG CWT community in Kenya; and support timely, relevant and high-quality analysis for USAID headquarters in Washington and the broader inter-Agency, and the US Congress as necessary, with regards to wildlife trafficking in East Africa.

1. Supervision Received
The CWT Advisor will be supervised by and report to the Deputy Office Chief of the USAID/Nairobi Platform/Environment Office. The CWT Advisor will be a senior member of the new Biodiversity Team under the newly integrated USAID/EA and USAID/Kenya Environment Offices. The individual must exercise a high-level of independent judgment in planning and carrying out tasks, resolving problems and conflicts, and taking steps necessary to meet deadlines.

All of these are options and approaches rather than blueprints. Therefore, the individual must be able to assess alternatives and interpret the guidelines accordingly. Excellent judgment and the ability to deal with ambiguity are essential.
3. Exercise of Judgment
Duties assigned to the CWT Advisor include a variety of duties and processes requiring excellent judgment, working under tight timelines and on subjects receiving a high-level of interest by USAID headquarters and the US Congress. The use of initiative, discretion, and patience is expected from the individual in working with USG office personnel as well as representatives from other organizations/partners to resolve challenges that arise during the course of work for which there is often no clear or immediate solution. In addition, considerable judgment is required in working effectively and coordinating CWT efforts in such a complex operating environment. The Advisor will be required to follow and adhere to USAID's Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The individual must ensure that his/her input into official U.S. Government documents is consistent with the goals of the Environment Office and reflects its strategic thinking. Good judgment will be required in organizing and maintaining complete program documentation which allows easy retrieval of information. The individual will require sound reasoning to work closely with program managers, other USG offices, and other partners.
4. Authority to Make Commitments
The Advisor cannot make financial commitments on behalf of the U.S. Government. The individual's recommendations, however, may be the basis for making commitments.
5. Nature, Level, and Purpose of Contacts
Contacts will be at both the highest and working levels with the U.S. Embassy's CEWG, including USAID Senior leadership and the US Ambassador to Kenya, as well as other bilateral and multilateral donor organizations and their senior officials. Contact will be of a continuous nature through day-to-day meetings and periodic review sessions. The individual will represent the Environment Office at various meetings, in Kenya, regionally and globally as necessary.
6. Travel
The individual will be expected to travel to remote regions of Kenya on and as-needed basis depending on the security situation and access to the travel destination. The individual may be required to travel to countries in East Africa as requested by USAID bilateral Missions or for regional CWT meetings.
7. Supervision Exercised
The individual will not directly supervise USAID staff, but will oversee Chiefs of Party for all CWT technical activities by providing advisory and substantial involvement in the operation of those activities.
8. Time Required to Perform Full Range of Duties after Entry into the Position:
The selected applicant should have the requisite experience to be fully contributing member of the Environment Office within six months.
9. Logistical Arrangements
The logistical support provided by USAID/EA includes office space and transportation in cooperating countries for official field work, as well as travel arrangements and tickets for work related business, transportation to/from the country, and administrative/clerical support.
Step 1: Register in MyJobsInKenya at www.myjobsinkenya.com

Our family have been coming here for more than 20 years. Hubby loves to fish and our kids when they were younger would always have a good time. Now that we have grandkids, the traditions are carrying forth to them,,,the older ones love the pool and the closeness to the beach and boardwalk. We feel safe with our younger one to play with the other kids, ride her bike, play on the inlet beach, and on the kiddie outdoor playsets. The staff is always more than helpful and cheerful. Housekeeping staff, esp. Beverly has always met our needs and does a wonderful job keeping our rooms clean. I recommend this hotel to those who want to be close to the action,,,but not stay in the middle of it,,,those that love to fish,,,and those that love to watch the water, boats, and at times the dolphins that come into the inlet,,,and also the horses and ponies over on Assateague Island,,,I guess you can tell that we just love coming here,,,and will continue to come till we can't come no more.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

If the ocean is what you crave, the beach is only a short walk away. ... more less

So it looks like enough people are interested in a raffle that I may as well go ahead with it!
Not everyone wants to shell out $50-$100 for a pony, here is your chance to win one for as low as $5!
Every $5 donation will get one entry (so a $20 donation would be 4 entries), and for every 10 tickets bought, another winner will be drawn! Winners can choose any pony they like, up to four inches tall. OC ponies are fine as well!
There will be at least one guaranteed winner. That means, if only one person donates $5, they are going to win a sculpture of their choice! I will pay shipping.
Raffle Tickets will be on sale until the 14th of November, at which point the drawing will be held and winners announced. I figure two weeks will give plenty of time to enter while still allowing me time to finish the winning sculpts and have them shipped out before xmas.
If you would like to participate, you can simply send payment for however many raffle entries you'd like to: email@example.com via paypal. Don't forget to include your deviantart name so I can send you a note if you win! Odds of winning are 1:10
Proceeds will go toward materials for a project I am planning in the future (yes, it's pony related!)
- Listening to: dubstep
- Reading: Past Sins
- Watching: Wakfu
- Eating: Frosted Flakes

Raffle! Win a custom pony! by EarthenPonyWatch
©2012-2016 EarthenPony
Ok, I'm game. Did you receive my payment?
I have already bought tickets from you but, am I allowed to buy anymore.
You can buy as many as you like~
How many tickets have been sold so far?
kewl <3
Did you get my ticket payment?
Yup! But weird, for some reason I am not getting updates from paypal in my email anymore, I had to check paypal to find you...
Anyway, thanks and good luck!
Anyway, thanks and good luck!
The tickets have been bought, I feel so excited right now.
whenever I get a chance Im definitely entering
Just wanted to make sure you got my ticket
Neat idea. I bought some tickets. Thanks for doing this!
Achievement Get: Ticket!!!
Tickets bought!
So if we only spend $5 on one ticket we have a chance of winning?
Correct! Every $5 equals one entry!
And it's a CUSTOM pony or a pony sculpture?
All of my ponies are 100% hand made, so although I like to use the word "custom", no Hasbro figures are ever harmed in the making of my sculptures.
Well it's a 1 in 10 chance to win basically, so don't do it if you don't feel lucky!
Oh.......I didn't read that part well enough. Well... that actually brings up the chances! Maybe I will consider! I gotta make sure I have some money in my paypal...
You have two weeks to enter if you choose to do so. Good luck!

Periodontics is the specialty area of dentistry that is concerned with the diagnosis and management of Periodontal Disease (gum disease). Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth. It is estimated that 30% of the population are susceptible to gum disease that is left undiagnosed and untreated can lead gradually to loss of teeth. According to recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), half of Americans aged 30 or older have periodontitis, the more advanced form of periodontal disease. This equals approximately 64.7 million Americans. A comprehensive periodontal assessment done early in life can identify if you are susceptible to Periodontitis. Like most medical problems, the earlier you are diagnosed, the simpler the management and the better the long term outcome.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function as close as possible to natural teeth. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants can restore the ability to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence. For patients with no teeth or completely hopeless teeth, advances in full arch implant bridges (All on Four) are eliminating the problems associated with loose, uncomfortable dentures that have plagued previous generations and changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. However, dental implants may not be the best treatment option for all patients. We will discuss all the treatment options with you to ensure that you chose the most appropriate option. If you would like more information about dental implants or to make a consultation appointment we look forward to hearing from you.
Cosmetic periodontal surgery, sometimes referred to as "Oral Plastic Surgery" can include gum grafting, crown lengthening, reshaping of the gums, etc. Like with periodontal surgery and dental implants we do our procedures with intravenous conscious sedation, so no need to have dental anxiety! Other possible cosmetic dental procedures may involve placement of crowns, bridgework, removable dentures, etc. Dr. Porras will work hand and hand with your general dentist, other specialist, and/or referring doctor to provide you with the optimal treatment plan that will lead to long term health and optimal aesthetics.
Dr. Porras is a surgeon that strongly believes in the benefits of periodontal regeneration and cosmetic periodontics while keeping implant dentistry as one of his main professional interests. To learn more about Dr. Roberto Porras, Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, please visit our Meet the Doctor page here.
Here at Texas Periodontal Associates, we use the most modern techniques and state of the art dental and surgical equipment in the world to provide the very best treatment to our patients. To learn more about our office, technology, and team, please visit our Office Tour here.

I'm working with a trial version of SlideShow Pro to try and integrate it with NextGen Gallery.
I modified NGG FlashViewer to generate the necessary XML and pass the correct FlashVars to SWFObject, which I use to load slideshowpro.swf.
BUT... when I examine traffic using FireBug, I see that SSPro is still looking for the default images.xml file, which is what it uses without extra params.
I DID get this working once, but I can't seem to repeat it. I don't understand why it won't work again.
I'd really like to get this working, since NextGen Gallery is a great way to manage photo galleries, and SSP is a wonderful way to display them...

This 10" Butcher Steel – Traditional™ Series (1012B) from Dexter-Russell has a high-carbon steel edge with medium coarseness that is magnetized to easily collect metal shavings after use. The polypropylene handle is slip-resistant and has a hanging ring for easy storage. Dexter-Russell knives receive a razor-sharp edge at the factory. Over time, this feather edge will begin to roll over and the knife will become dull. When the blade reaches this point, a few strokes on this butcher steel will realign and restore the sharp edge.

Potential Dual-Use Of Military Technology: Does Citing Patents Shed Light On This Process?
This paper explores the potential civil use from the knowledge embedded in military technology. Using forward patent citation as indicator and from a comprehensive sample of 582 military patents with both US and European protection, we analysed the citations received for a military patents in subsequent patents. The technological origin of the citing patents will determine the use of a military technology. The methodology involves a descriptive analysis and the estimation of a multilevel logit model to determine the factors explaining the civilian use of military technology. The results show a differential behaviour among countries and types of military technology. Characteristics of firms, such as the technological experience of the company or institution in using military technology, are critical for a civilian use of the military knowledge.

Imperfections important for accurate replica
Accurately replicating a warbird's paint scheme sometimes means adding in the imperfections. A close look at the tail of the FHC's P-40C Tomahawk reveals a bit of a mess when it comes to the constancy of the camouflage lines. The rudder and fairings don't match up. That is because the plane was painted at the Curtiss factory in manageable pieces and then assembled. Looking at historic photos of P-40s serving in China, FHC staffers were able to develop an apparently flawed, but accurate camouflage scheme.

Crested Butte has a lot of varied terrain all tightly packed and accessible. With the exception of getting stuck at the bottom of East River, any part of the mountain is only a lift ride and one run away, e.g., bottom of Teocali to the gondola; 1 lift & 1 run. So it's all right there for you. Surprisingly, it's the easiest terrain that gets crowded first, Gold Link has some fun runs but I won't wait in a line with the whiteplates who flock to it.
If you want extreme terrain then this mountain is off the hook. I skied Silverton and the terrain there isn't much more than you'd find at the Butte, I probably could even have found a CB local to guide me through the north face for $40 and had a better day of it. You don't have to go to the high lift to access the gnarly, either. In fact those finger shoots that come off the traverse to Sunrise are the most frightening I've ever seen, and Horseshoe is probably the steepest slope a snowcat can groom. Along with Kirkwood, Crested Butte is my favorite place to ski.
Over the years CB has had waves of snow. It was great in the '80s, but it was at the center of the donut hole during the '90s. It's good to see this place getting the snow it deserves again. The drive up from Gunny is a cakewalk, but it's so damn remote -- Aspen is only 30 miles to the north, but a 4-6 hour drive in the winter.
Because of the "can't get there from here" location, the town of CB has a main street that doesn't really go anywhere, so the commerce part of the town isn't split in half by a through route the way Steamboat or Tahoe are. It helps CB keep that local feel. On my last trip there I remarked that it felt more like home than home does. With a plethora of restaurants and pubs the Apres ski is as much as you can hope for. CB also has one of the nicest hostels in the country, though I'm not much for dormitory lodging having a kitchen at your disposal is a major plus. Consider the private apartment on the 3rd floor if you're with a group.

It's a great story and works on many levels. For the younger reader there is the straight adventure story, which many will find thrilling. For the older reader there is the subtle growth in Bilbo's character, as he changes over the story from a passenger on the expedition to a main player and the person people look to for help. There is a study of human nature, and the effects of greed upon people. In some respects it is a morality play. But for all that, at heart, it is a great entertainment. There is a reason it is still so affectionately regarded by readers world wide of all ages. 5 stars.
Drawing upon Tolkien's ancient histories and legends of Middle-earth, these tales tell of The War of the Ring and the events leading to the end of the Third Age. Tales that will bring unimaginable vistas vividly before your eyes and characters that will haunt your imagination for the rest of your life.
You simply must read these books--and what better editions? These are superbly illustrated with water-colour paintings by Alan Lee. Mr Lee is one of the conceptual artists currently assisting Peter Jackson bring The Lord of the Rings to the big screen in New Zealand.
The pages are generously sized, clear and beautifully illustrated with Alan Lee's drawings in pencil and full colour throughout (I wish it had the old tissue paper covering the illustrations of bygone days!). There is also a Lord of the Rings edition in the same format. It is beneficial to read the Hobbit before the Lord of the Rings.
The Hobbit describes the adventures of a friendly, roughly 3 foot 6 hobbit called Bilbo. He is volunteered into an adventure beyond the scope of most hobbit's lives by a kindly old family friend, Gandalf the wizard. His journey is also initiated and accompanied by fourteen dwarves. Bilbo's contract is to steal the treasure back for the dwarves, stolen and held by Smaug the Magnificent. Smaug is a large and very perilous dragon. Bilbo even surprises himself by becoming a hero, despite his slight size. This is an enchanting book; Tolkien has a rare gift in creating books which capture the imagination of any age. It is beautifully written, comical, imagination stretching but with the skillfulness of convincing the reader that the story is factual and passing over a great empathy, tugging at the reader's heartstrings over the adventure's endearing characters. A must read book.
Publisher: HarperCollins; Revised edition edition (7 April 2003)
It's important to note that Amazon unfortunately merges all the reviews from one story, regardless of each edition. The edition I pointed out looks similar to an American version with the same name, though I couldn't find the differences between them on the internet and I only purchased this British one.
The build quality is superb, though I can't say I was expecting less. In fact, I was quite disappointed when I saw the book for the first time. The hardcover is quite solid but the fact that it is only a plain green front was quite unexpected. The illustration we see in the Amazon item is just the paper that comes wrapping the book (dust cover?), but the front itself has no illustration or writing at all. You could not tell what the book is only by looking at its front cover.
The side of the cover is quite another story. It contains the title and some other marks you would expect in the front. It's all beautifully written in golden letters and that is the section that gives the book the "premium feel".
The quality of the paper and the font are very good, so the reading is quite comfort.
The book contains several illustrations scattered in the right places along the story. These illustrations are usually small-sized black/white drawings published in the various different editions of The Hobbit along the years.Read more ›

I put a 1.5 TB HD in my Windows 7 box and my main computer is a MBP. I have a lot of professional files/folders in a FireWire 800 external HD connected to the MBP and I want to use the 1.5 TB HD in my Windows 7 box as a backup for both the HD and MBP.
Right now I am just copying files manually to the HD over the network and that's very slow and open to failure (not rsync'd.)
Anyone suggest some appropriate solutions? Should I just figure out how to setup RSync on the windows box or is there a better alternative?

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) -- The Roman Catholic church in the
Netherlands has agreed to launch a compensation system that clears the way for victims of abuse by priests and other church workers to receive payments of up to $138,000.
The country's Bishops' Conference and Conference of Religious Orders said in a statement Monday that the new compensation system will likely come into effect next month.
Thousands of past cases of alleged sexual abuse by Dutch priests
are under investigation by an independent but church-funded commission in the Netherlands, where the Catholic church has more
than 4 million members.
The new compensation system has a range of payments depending on the nature of the abuse.

Anderson pleased with day's work
Follow England's Test fortunes against Sri Lanka via our match-by-match page - all the reports, reaction, video highlights and live photos
James Anderson was keen to praise England's bowlers despite being frustrated by Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene on day one of the first Test in Galle.
The Lancashire seamer went past 250 Test wickets en route to figures of 3-56, including a chance of a hat-trick in the third over as he reduced Sri Lanka to 11 for two.
But Jayawardene led the recovery, using 290 balls to compile an unbeaten 168 and ensure his side reached 289 for eight at the close.
Anderson paid tribute to Jayawardene's contribution, but was also impressed by England's ability to adapt to difficult conditions.
"I thought Mahela played unbelievably well, probably one of the best Test innings I have ever seen considering no-one got much more than 20. Full credit to him," Anderson said.
"We knew it was going to be a pretty good pitch, it looked like a pretty good pitch at the start of the day. But the guys are upbeat and, if we can bowl them out tomorrow, the bowlers will definitely be happy with their performance.
"Making best use of the new ball is crucial out here in these conditions and we did that this morning.
"(Getting early wickets) is something we have done really well over the last few years, especially in Australia. When we lose the toss we don't get down and expect them to get runs, we try and force ourselves on the game and we did that.
"If you had given us 289 for eight this morning, we would have taken it. I think the pitch did flatten out once the ball got softer. But you cant really judge a pitch until both side's have batted on it."
England missed opportunities in the field to dismiss Jayawardene, who saw Anderson drop a half chance at slip off Graeme Swann and a caught and bowled before Monty Panesar gave him two more lives in the evening session.
And Anderson insists England will have to take their chances if they are to prevail in Sri Lankan conditions.
"It's something we have pointed out at the start of this trip," he said. "It can be very difficult to get 20 wickets out here, you have to take the half chances, and that was maybe a half chance I should have got to.
"The others were very getable chances. It's frustrating when catches go down because the bowlers work so hard to get something out of the pitch, it's unfortunate when they go down."
Sri Lanka collapsed to 15 for three, but their skipper struck 20 fours and a trio of sixes to thwart England.
Jayawardene was typically modest, reflecting afterwards on his 30th Test century.
"In the first session, I had to just dig deep purely because we lost wickets," he said. "That gave me the mindframe to just hang around rather than playing my shots.
"Then we got into a situation where we were losing wickets and I had the licence to play a few shots - so that probably helped. So during the course of the game different situations probably helped my innings."
Jayawardene added: "It's a beautiful wicket. You want to put runs on the board, but losing three wickets up front. I thought Jimmy bowled pretty well, put a lot of pressure on us. But we just had to bat through. I think 300 is not too bad after where we were."

This didn't have the fresh taste I was hoping for. I think I just don't like the taste of the sesame oil. Wouldn't make again.
Yum! I love the heat from the red pepper flakes and the sesame oil and rice vinegar go very well together. Thanks.

When Abraham Lincoln defined democracy by contrasting it to the relationship between masters and slaves, he took for granted that the type of polity he was dealing with, and hoped to reform, was a republic. The first modern republics were supposed to protect and cultivate a people's liberty. Achieving and maintaining liberty—in the quite precise sense of security against domination—were chief objectives of government.
What made the most productive reform movements of Lincoln's day democratic, in his eyes, was that they sought to redefine citizenship, the primary locus of responsibility for political arrangements, in terms that did not entail an arbitrary exclusion. Liberty and justice were thus to become liberty and justice for all.
Here we have a cluster of concepts, each of which is sufficiently precise to do the socially significant work of ruling out various things. The democratic turn of Lincoln's time did not abandon those concepts. Rather, it changed how they are to be applied and what their application is now taken to imply. Conceptual change emerged out of an extended argument over how we are going to live, an argument in which reasons were exchanged, but also one in which people were struggling for authority and power, and deploying coercive force. The process resulted in more determinate conceptions of what liberty, justice, domination, and democracy are.
Far from introducing a more permissive culture, which is to say a weakening of...
