Gender Difference: Lose the Boxes
Look up "gender" in the dictionary, and you will probably find "sex" as its definition. As if the words were interchangeable. In the not-so-distant past, "gender" referred only to grammatical fields. But in 1955, a sexologist suggested that we distinguish between biological sex and gender as a way of distinguishing between male and female.
Another fifteen to twenty years passed before his idea caught on. In the 1970s, the field of Gender Studies emerged, and we began to define "gender" as the social construction of biological difference, or what we consider masculine and feminine behavior.
The distinction between sex as biological and gender as the social construction of sex difference was to give us language to explore the dynamic behind why, when a woman in Kenya puts a roof on a house, she's doing women's work, but in America, most would consider a female roofer "unfeminine." In ancient Rome, yellow was the "girl" color; in America, it's pink; in Kenya all colors are gender-neutral. In America the husband usually drives the family; in some parts of the world, the wife is more likely to serve her husband by driving. These examples suggest there's a fluidity to how we define masculine and feminine behavior, and how we socially construct our ideals. It was the influences behind these behaviors and the desire to study them that led to the differing definitions of "sex" and "gender."
In the past few years I've seen a rise in the number of Christian small groups and curricula designed around discovering gender differences, and especially the associated question, "What is biblical masculinity and femininity"? More to the point, what social differences did God design to flow from our sex differences?
It appears that Christians are unified in our belief that God made men and women different by design. But we disagree about whether and/or how our biological differences lead to clear and set social differences that we should pursue in order to become our true selves. If we think social differences exist, none of us can agree on what those differences are. I would argue that they are as mysterious as the wisdom of God, and as soon as we assign them clear categories, such as "men are initiators," and "women are followers," we create boxes that confine us in ways God did not intend.
For example, he gave both man and woman dominion and he gave both man and woman the command to multiply. But we tend to put the dominion only with the man, and multiplication only with the woman. And in doing so we miss the emphasis God puts on men and women partnering. We start thinking stuff like, "Kids need to be with their moms more than with their dads." And that men were made for empire-building, but women were made for homemaking—making our singles feel especially unfulfilled.
Here is how Piper/Grudem's classic text, Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, defines masculinity and femininity:
At the heart of mature masculinity is a sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect women in ways appropriate to a man's differing relationships.
At the heart of mature femininity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive, and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman's differing relationships.
These definitions raise some serious questions. First, and most significant, and ironic: what is their basis for authority? Second, if they are correct, does this mean men and women find their true womanhood and manhood only when they are together? If I am alone, do I lose my femininity because I have no man to affirm, receive, and nurture? Am I less of a "woman" during girls' night out? And when my husband is camping only with guys, does he lose his masculinity because there is no woman to lead, protect, and provide for? Why do we define our gender only in relationship to another human, and one of the opposite sex, no less?
What we conclude about masculine and feminine behavior in the Bible usually comes from picking and choosing our narratives. What if we notice that Jacob cooked stew, Jesus cooked fish (in his resurrected body, I might add), and the deacons served tables for widows? Shouldn't we conclude that cooking and serving tables is really masculine work?
Why do we gloss over the observations that woman are part of the priesthood of all believers, called to take up the shield of faith and fight (we have "a battle to fight" too)? What about the fact that Proverbs 31 is filled with "war" words, with "valor" being the first. We tend to translate that word as "noble" or "excellence" but it's the same word used for David's mighty warrior-men. Men are told to nurture their wives (Eph 5). But according to Piper/Grudem, isn't nurturing more of a woman's activity than a man's? I had a student two years ago who was astounded to discover that courage was not a male quality, but rather a human one.
I believe pursuing femininity and masculinity is like pursuing happiness. The best way to attain it is to pursue something else. In this case, we find our true selves, become the men and women God intended us to be, as we pursue Jesus Christ, walk in the Spirit, and demonstrate love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Sometimes doing so may even, at times, look un-macho and unfeminine to others, while God's assessment may be "What a woman!" or "What a man!" We are not called to imitate the culture, even the Christian sub-culture. Followers of Christ are called to imitate Jesus Christ our Lord.

Selectmen weigh funding for sobriety checkpoint
Thursday, April 25, 2013
WAKEFIELD — The Board of Selectmen met on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the approval of a federal grant being used to fund a sobriety checkpoint. The grant has been used for the checkpoint for several years now, but the board only had statistics from the most recent. In 2010, 31 cases of driving while intoxicated were reported. the number jumped to 37 in 2011, but dropped down to 28 last year.
In order for a police officer to pull a driver over, he or she must have probable cause. The checkpoint circumvents the need for probable cause. "It's more personal," said Edwards. "You're already stopped. They can talk to you," he added, pointing out that in a pull over the officer must make a quick judgment.
"I'm trying to establish that you don't have enough information to make a decision" he said. He went on to explain the board should be given all of the information before deciding whether to approve or not. |

Euglobulin lysis time (ELT) is a blood test that looks at how fast clots break down in the blood.
Euglobulin clot lysis; Fibrinolysis/euglobulin lysis; ELT
A sample of blood sample will be taken from a vein. The lab will run tests on the blood sample to see how fast blood clots dissolve. The dissolving of blood clots is called fibrinolysis.
You do not need to take special any steps before this test.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted to draw blood. You may feel some throbbing afterward.
This is one of the best tests to tell the difference between primary fibrinolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulation .
The test can also be used to monitor patients who are on streptokinase or urokinase therapy for acute MI (heart attack).
A normal value will range from 90 minutes to 6 hours. Euglobulin clot lysis is normally complete within 2 to 4 hours.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A longer-than-normal ELT time may be due to:
A shorter-than-normal ELT time may be due to:
The test may also be done to diagnose or rule out:
There is very little risk from having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to take a blood sample in one person than another.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn may include:
Heavy exercise can cause a shorter-than-normal ELT time.
Longer than normal ELT time may be due to:

Orlando, Fla. – The Fifth District Court of Appeal held a special session in the Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Law Ceremonial Moot Courtroom on March 19, 2013. With Honorable Judge C. Alan Lawson presiding, the Court heard oral arguments in three cases and participated in a question-and-answer session with FAMU Law students and visitors. Joining Judge Lawson were Honorable Judges Bruce W. Jacobus and Wendy W. Berger. The annual Law Day event marks the seventh consecutive year the Court has held a special session at FAMU.
"It is always a privilege to have members of the judiciary visit with our students," said Dean LeRoy Pernell, who welcomed the Court at the start of the special session. "The support shown by the Fifth DCA annually affords our students a benefit that goes beyond the theory of the appeals process."
The Court heard oral arguments in Russell Harris Calamia v. State of Florida; Lorene Elbert v. Liberty Title and Escrow Company; and The Langley Limited Partnership, LLP v. School Board of Lake County, Florida.
First-year College of Law students in attendance were provided with insight that could carry-over into their first-year oral arguments slated to begin in late March. Many students directed questions to both the bench and the attorneys representing the parties. Questions ranged from the various stages of the appeals process, to preparation techniques and strategies for presenting quality arguments.
Following the session, the judges were honored guests at a lunch reception with FAMU Law students and faculty advisors in the College of Law Moot Court program. The judges shared their experiences in the judiciary, while students discussed their aspirations beyond law school.

Grey wrote:the thing i've been listening to most over the past couple months is "good kid m.A.A.d city" by kendrick lamar
this is legitimately one of the most masterfully crafted rap albums i have heard in fucking years
i read a review that summed it up perfectly in that it combines "straight-forward rap thrills" with amazingly poignant lyricism and beautiful artistry.
i hardly ever listen to a track from this album, i typically just listen to the whole album from start to finish.
Yoshi wrote:Well this is perfect. Grey, as someone who has not really found rap he likes apart from stupid things like "Because I Got High" or BoB's "Magic" what are good starter albums? I don't care for "thug lyfe" styled stuff. I am going to look into the album you are talking about because you've piqued my interest.
Yoshi wrote:In guitar news, does anyone have any experience with the G&L Ascari GTS or Fiorano GTS? On paper they seem to be perfect fits for me. Set neck, humbucker, push/pull, Gibson scale (Ascari), and so on. Unfortunately the nearest place that stocks them is a state away
Yoshi wrote: So I asked some friends to buy and learn/jam with me so we'd all feel motivated to actually play. The only friend that was really gung-ho was interested in bass. Well, you can't really have two bassists and no drummers or guitarists (We are not SMV!) so I decided to pick up guitar instead.
Grey wrote:Words of advice
Havoc751 wrote:I haven't had any experiences with that specific brand, I'm sorry to say. If you're looking to try one out, I know Guitar Center has them online. I don't know if they have them in a store near you, or even if there's a guitar center near you. But I thought I'd let you know. You could also try a few local pawn shops, who know you might just find one there.
Havoc751 wrote:By the way, what kind of amp(s) do you have, if any? I have a Fender Frontman 15G for my guitar, and a Peavey Max126 for my bass guitar.
Havoc751 wrote:So do you have a drummer and/or singer yet? The drummer can sometimes be the hardest one to find, trust me I know.
Also, alt. rock is a good way to go. However, a lot of people I know prefer to play pop-punk and hardcore pop-punk.
Tuor wrote:I was gonna say "So you mean...punk?"
Yoshi wrote:I'm running a Vox Pathfinder 10. I picked it for it's cleans. It has the nicest cleans of any practice (10W-ish) amp I tried. Unfortunately trying to play with anything above 1 degree of gain or overdrive sounds terrible. So I'm looking to do two things. First, buy a fuzz (Probably a Big Muff) cause, hey it's a fuzz and I play a lot of 90s stuff. Second is replace my amp when I have money. I'm eying either a Vox AC15 or Blackstar HT Club 40 or something along those lines. Then I'll probably grab a better guitar. But my guitars are pretty fine right now.
Havoc751 wrote:As far as an amp goes, I would recommend a Fender Frontman like I have. It's relativity cheap, but you get a lot for your money, at least as a good starter amp. But I've never tried using it at high volume, because I have neighbors. I've also tried a few Line 6 amps before, and they're pretty good.
90s stuff is the best way to start, just because it's all power cords, and also very simply. The first song I learned to play was Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. You should try learning Holaday by Green Day, and All The Small Thing by Blink182.

Ganglioneuroma is a tumor of the peripheral nervous system.
Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors that most frequently start in the autonomic nerve cells, which may be in any part of the body. The tumor are usually noncancerous (benign).
Ganglioneuromas usually occur in people ages 10 to 40. They grow slowly, and may release certain chemicals or hormones.
There are no known risk factors. However, the tumors may be associated with some genetic problems, such as neurofibromatosis type 1.
A ganglioneuroma usually causes no symptoms, and is only discovered when being examined or treated for another condition.
Symptoms depend on the location of the tumor and the type of chemicals released.
If the tumor is in the chest area (mediastinum), symptoms may include:
If the tumor is lower down in the abdomen in the area called the retroperitoneal space, symptoms may include:
If the tumor is near the spinal cord, it may cause:
These tumors may produce certain hormones, which can cause the following symptoms:
The best tools to identify a ganglioneuroma are:
Blood and urine tests may be done to determine if the tumor is producing hormones or other chemicals.
A biopsy or complete removal of the tumor may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment involves surgery to remove the tumor (if it is causing symptoms).
Most ganglioneuromas are noncancerous. The expected outcome is usually good. A ganglioneuroma may, however, become cancerous and spread to other areas, or it may come back after removal.
If the tumor has been present for a long time and has pressed on the spinal cord or caused other symptoms, surgery to remove the tumor may not necessarily reverse the damage.
Compression of the spinal cord may result in loss of movement (paralysis), especially if the cause is not detected promptly.
Surgery to remove the tumor may also lead to complications in some cases. However, rare, persistent problems due to compression may occur even after the tumor is removed.
Call your health care provider if you or your child has symptoms that may be caused by this type of tumor.

Bombs and shooting.
Screams of pain and anguish.
Roar of flame and destruction.
The radio is such a worthless little piece of trash when you compare it to the sight unfolding from the downtown area just 4 horribly long days ago. corpses coming to live, people desperatly fighting to survive or stop the mess. Nothing ever works out. Luck alone has saved a group of some 12 people, hiding in a currently abandoned military runway that served as a fair event.
Oh the fine mess that was.
Three pilots had been bitten on the runway and turned to drooling zombies mid-flight half way through their show, resulting in total chaos as they fell out of formation almost as if on que from a higher, demented, power of the universe. 8 planes crashed, nearly 40 people killed in the resulting infernos of impact. How any of the current 12 got it into a hanger before the sound drew the horde from the city is no mystery.
A young sargent of 33 brought the desperate people here, of course, and wisely chose the correct hanger. Though it was stuffed with junk food like chips and chocolate, it also had a small weapons cache in the side-room office. Whoever owned them didn't need them now, even though he sat in his chair throughout the whole spectacle.
With a shard of scrap metal launched through his eye.
What little news that got through was pitiful; Zombies walk the streets, dead rising to assault the living, army useless, military in chaos, president in hiding, gangs taking territory amidst it all.
Oh the fun!
Sargent Meera Waltz sat in the far corner with head in hands trying to think of a plan, of a coruse of action, to prevent these last remaining people from becoming food to each other or the things banging on the walls relentlessly. Two people had started a fight over something very stupid and decided now was a perfect time to settle the score with a clear winner. A gunshot to the head killed the bigger man, the smaller victor barely had time to smile like the maniac he was before a bullet blew his head out the front.
Meera Waltz would not trust anyone willing to raise a gun over a petty feud.
"What are we going to do..." She whispered softly to herself, listening intently to the the sound of a motor humming and the zombies moaning, the scratching of their hands on the walls and windows and... Motor humming?
A small bullethole was in the hangar door from the earlier incident and now served as a spy hole.
A car! No, a truck. A big one.. With only 1 person? Crazy fool..
Wait a minute... What is he..!
A yelp escaped her lips as she flung away from the wall, the truck slamming right into hangar at full force. The truck barely felt anything.
There hadn't been many zombies, but now they were attracted more than ever to the loud crash. 4 people were dead now, dropping the number to 6 people. Including Meera...
The man in the truck threw open the door and threw 3 pilfered sub-machine guns into the area of the nearest survivors, screaming for them to be ready. "I am prophet but there is no time! You must all leave this place, please, do not ask me why!" Prophet yelled, bringing his own two pistols to bear against the zombies rushing through the breech, each shot found a head in the crowd of 50 or so abominations. "Into the van, quickly! Kill if you can, but we must leave!"
What the fuck is this all about! There was no time to ponder. "You heard him!" Meera shouted through the dim, taking out her pistol and making a sprint for the truck.
(Real simple, Wanna get this moving with a little action before the whole 'talking and discussion' part begins. Kill zombies, get to truck, truck will pull away with 'prophet' leading the way. Once on the road, you will be given 3 choices to discuss! Good times.)

Chocolate for artisans & chefs
> Callebaut sponsors the Belgian team at the 2008 World Pastry Team Championship
Callebaut sponsors the Belgian team at the 2008 World Pastry Team Championship
15, 2008
Callebaut®, the Belgian gourmet chocolate brand, will sponsor the Belgian team at this year's "Amoretti World Pastry Team Championship". For the first time the fourth edition of the championships will take place in Nashville, Tennessee, instead of Las Vegas, between August 31 and September 1. The theme will be "IMAGINATION".
During the 13-hour two day competition, each team will have to prepare a sugar showpiece, a pastillage tray, a chocolate showpiece, a plated dessert, chocolate bonbons, an entremet, an entremet glace and small pastry. All these elements will be prepared within the given time frame. Teams are judged on artistry, professionalism and of course taste. The total prize package is $100,000.
The World Pastry Team Championship features twelve teams. Each comprised of three pastry chefs. This year, a Belgian team will compete to support the Belgian chocolate heritage and know-how.
Belgian team leader:
Philippe Rhéau: MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) and Operational Director at Debailleul Products, Brussels. Philippe already participated in several high-level competitions.
His teammates:
Jean-Philippe Darcis: owner of the « Pâtisseries chocolateries Darcis » in Verviers, Spa, Liège and throughout Belgium but also in Japan. Jean-Philippe is First chocolate Chef of Belgium. He will be responsible for the chocolate showpiece.
Serge Alexandre: Pastry chef at « Pâtisserie Defreyne » in Strombeek, he is currently exporting his branded products in Japan. His motivation to join the Belgian team: to compete with high level chefs. He will be responsible for looking at the best taste alliances for the different chocolate pieces to be made during the competition.
Marc Ducobu: owner of the « Maison Ducobu » in Waterloo. He is also selling his pralines in Japan. He is constantly looking for new taste challenges and has won numerous competitions. He will be responsible for the sugar showpiece.
All the members of the Belgian team are currently members of the Callebaut Ambassadors Club. Chocolate is a permanent source of inspiration for them.
Philippe Rhéau and Jean Philippe Darcis already participated in this competition in 2002 and took the prize of "Best chocolate showpiece", and also the Bronze medal.
In 2004, Philippe Rhéau, Serge Alexandre and other took the same prize and the Silver medal. We have big hope for 2008!
For the first time, Callebaut will be the official sponsor of this very high-level team of chocolate lovers.
We wish them a lot of success in Nashville!

No More Nuclear Disasters
Japan's Fukushima disaster is a wake-up call for Californians: Our use of nuclear power means we're gambling with the environment and our health. With so many clean energy alternatives available, we don't need nuclear power to provide renewable, carbon-free electricity.
A man-made disaster that could happen in California
With Japan's nuclear disaster still unfolding, we know more than 100,000 citizens were evacuated from their homes, large quantities of food was dangerously contaminated, and radioactive water 7.5 million times the allowable levels leaked into the ocean near the Fukushima power plant.
California has two aging nuclear power plants: Diablo Canyon Power Plant, located in San Luis Obispo and owned by Pacific Gas & Electric; and San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, located in Orange County and owned by Southern California Edison. Each of these plants is located on the coast, near fault lines, and each stores large amounts of nuclear waste on-site.
The truth is that California's nuclear power plants have many of the same vulnerabilities as the nuclear reactors in Japan. Even though California's nuclear plants are not the same design as the plant in Fukushima, any combination of events that results in a loss of power to the primary and backup cooling systems for the reactors, or the cooling systems for the on-site spent fuel pools, could initiate the same kind of crisis as we are witnessing in Japan.
Even before the tsunami hit Japan, California officials were concerned that safety studies at both Diablo Canyon and San Onofre were more than ten years old and didn't take advantage of modern assessment tools. Furthermore, according to the 2007 Working Group on Earthquake Probabilities, California faces a 99.7% chance of experiencing an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or greater in the next 30 years. There is a 47% chance of a 7.5 earthquake or greater in the next 30 years.
California should stop the relicensing of its nuclear plants and shift to clean energy
In spite of the inherent dangers posed by nuclear power plants on California's coast, both PG&E and Southern California Edison are actively seeking to extend the life of their plants — already over 30 years old — into the middle of this century.
California should act immediately to stop this relicensing and instead begin phasing out the use of nuclear power in an orderly fashion.
Fortunately, California has more than enough renewable energy and energy efficiency potential to replace the 12% of our electricity that currently comes from these two plants. What's more, shifting toward a more diversified clean energy future is better for ratepayers and our economy at large.
With your help, we can move beyond nuclear power
We're working to phase out the use of nuclear power in California and shift to a truly clean energy future. Our vision is to meet 100% of California's future energy needs with clean energy like solar and wind power and by increasing energy efficiency.
We're testifying in Sacramento, educating lawmakers, and shining a spotlight in the media on the need for California to continue to lead the way on clean energy, while educating the public and decision-makers about the dangers of a continued reliance on nuclear power.
Thousands of you have joined the fight too. Across the state, you're emailing state and federal decision-makers, signing petitions, and spreading the word to your friends and family.
We need even more people to get involved if we're going to truly shift away from nuclear power. If enough of us act, we can end our reliance on unsafe energy sources and transition to clean energy.
Key Facts
- Both of California's nuclear power plants are located dangerously close to fault lines, in one case less than 1800 feet.
- Eight million people — one-quarter of California's population — live within 50 miles of California's nuclear power plants.
- There is a 99.7% chance that California will face an earthquake of 6.7 or greater in the next 30 years.

5 OMGtazzys | 08/09/2013 | See all tazzys's reviews (59)Youve got the mission, heart warming and terribly humbling film about human sacrifice and greed. Staring the man De Niro with other great actors such as Jeremy Irons.Heat, this is a remake and thank goodness they did. This film is about two different lives played by the crook De Niro and the cop Pacino, with other actors such as Val Kilmer. Absolutely compelling and for me De Niro steals the show. You definately want the bad guy to win!Goodfellas! Well do I need tell you bout the best ganster film of all time, I hope not!Once Upon a time in America. The story of a lifetime, from the young boys growing up and the pact of a group of best friends to the ultimate betrayal. An absolute classic and must see film that will have you hooked from the very start.All these for next to nothing just buy it and own 4 timeless classics that look really good in Blu-ray.My favourate box set, without a doubt. And if you are a film lover, itll be up there as one of yours too.

National Signing Day 2013: Kentucky, Arizona, Washington, others quietly finish strong
RGIII turned Baylor into a cool place to play, Rich Rodriguez's offensive scheme is turning heads at Arizona and Charlie Weis is selling immediate playing time to a host of junior college signees at Kansas.
Some programs you don't usually find near the top of the recruiting rankings fared just fine last week.

Rich Rodriguez is beginning to have an effect on recruiting in Arizona, not that anybody really noticed this year.
QB Anu Soloman is the gem of his 2013 class. He's a Las Vegas-area kid that UCLA wanted, along with Arizona State, Colorado and several other BCS schools.
Soloman is the kind of dual-threat quarterback Rodriguez needs, and he was a leader in helping the program attract other skill talent like running back Pierre Cormier, a prospect out of San Diego that most of the Pac-12 coveted.

The culture has changed in the state of Texas. It used to be the Longhorns got who they wanted and the other BCS programs in-state would fight over what remained.
But with the recent success of Baylor, Texas A&M and TCU, those days are over. Case in point is the Bears getting WR Robbie Rhodes.
Robert Griffin III helped make Baylor a cool place to play, and it showed with this year's strong class for coach Art Briles.

People don't realize that what made the Jayhawks' class so strong wasn't the work it did in February as much as it was the work it completed in December when it signed a boatload of impressive junior college prospects.
This team won't go 1-11 again in 2013 — players coming in plan to play right away and aim to be in a bowl game this fall.
Defensive tackle Marquel Combs is arguably the best junior college prospect in the country. Defensive end Chris Martin signed with Florida out of high school and was once committed to Kansas coach Charlie Weis when he was still at Notre Dame.

Kansas State
Every year analysts ignore what Kansas State is doing, yet with Bill Snyder coaching, the Wildcats win a lot of games.
Led by Parade All-Americans defensive end Tanner Wood and QB Jesse Ertz, this is a class with a lot of blue-collar talent.
The Wildcats are system specific in the way they recruit, and it works. Undoubtedly, there are several gems in this group, and time will tell us who they are.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Twelve Westminster College chemistry and biochemistry majors presented the results of a service-learning project at a meeting of the Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition (SRWC) Nov. 14 at the Jennings Environmental Education Center.
The students are from an advanced laboratory class taught by Dr. Helen Boylan, Westminster associate professor of chemistry. They collaborated with the SRWC to test the efficacy of their passive treatment site at Erico Bridge in Venango Township. The passive treatment uses natural processes, such as limestone beds, settling ponds, and wetlands to improve the water quality of abandoned mine drainage at this location.
As part of the project, the students visited the site, collected water samples and performed field tests of pH, alkalinity, and iron content. Back in the lab, students used laboratory techniques to analyze for sulfates, hot acidity, and various metals, such as manganese and aluminum.
Students presented results of the field and lab tests at the SRWC meeting. The results confirmed that the passive treatment site is working well to reduce the acidity and metal content of the abandoned mine drainage.
"This collaboration is a win-win for both parties," Boylan said. "The SRWC receives lab-quality data about their passive treatment system at no cost to them, and Westminster students learn interesting environmental chemistry and apply the techniques that they have learned to help with a real-world problem."
Westminster student Lance Jubic said, "This advance lab project specifically demonstrated how chemical principles can be applied to moderate the impact of acid mine drainage on local streams. For instance, acid-base titrations are often carried out on a small-scale in the lab by students. It was interesting to observe how the same principles can be applied across a large region of land to neutralize acidified stream water."
Taken during the junior year, the advanced laboratory course features semi-independent laboratory projects that mirror work done by professional chemists in graduate school, industry and government laboratories. The course integrates methods and techniques normally taught as the laboratory experiences of various upper-level courses. This course is taken for two semesters and includes participation in a weekly seminar.
Contact Boylan at (724) 946-6293 or email for additional information.

Lotus Engineering designed and integrated the complete drivetrain for the PROTON Emas a plug-in series hybrid city car, styled by Italdesign and unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
Our work included an electrical drive system with single-speed transmission, which delivers low emissions, optimised performance and acceptable electric-only operating range for city use. For longer journeys, when the battery charge level falls, the 3 cylinder, 1.2 litre Lotus Range Extender engine is used to replenish the charge in the battery and provide electrical power for the drive motors.
The battery can also be recharged via an AC mains domestic outlet to achieve initial electric-only operation.
The vehicle energy storage system is made up of 11.5 kWh Lithium Polymer batteries with over 100 kW discharge capability. It includes fusing, power distribution and high voltage interlock safety system hardware.
The generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy for battery pack charge maintenance and vehicle range extension. The generator is also used as a motor for range extender engine starting. It has a power of 41 kW 280-420 VDC generator and starter motor for the range extender engine.
The high voltage inverter converts and controls the three phase voltage from the generator to DC voltage to charge the battery and run the traction motor.
The traction motor provides 75 kW peak and 45 kW continuous power with a 280-420 VDC motor. The motor converts electrical energy to provide mechanical energy to the driven wheels through the transmission.
The high voltage inverter traction motor converts DC voltage to three phase voltage.
The Proton Concept uses a single-speed transmission with an integrated differential.
The high voltage charger converts AC mains power to high voltage DC to charge the battery pack. It produces 3.3 kW, with 90-265 V AC single phase with CAN control.
The DC-DC Converter maintains charge in the 12 V vehicle battery by taking power from the high voltage battery pack. It is the electric vehicle equivalent of the alternator and converts 1.5 kW of power from 420 V to 13.8 V.
The three-cylinder 1.2 litre Range Extender engine is optimised between two power generation points, giving 15 kW of electrical power at 1,500 RPM and 35 kW at 3,500 RPM via the integrated electrical generator. Its low mass of 56 kg and compact package makes it ideal for the series hybrid drivetrain in the Proton Concept.
The vehicle controller is a microprocessor that controls the throttle, torque, power and energy management and is the same T6e engine management software as used on the Lotus Evora.

In May 2010 I wrote about a couple of personal transport projects in a post titled Segway to U3-X. Naturally, the Segway Personal Transport (PT) is in production with a variety of options and models. Honda's U3-X, though cool and seemingly quite practical, as far as I know has yet to see a showroom floor. Perhaps the U3-X was just a platform for Honda's engineers to research mobility possibilities. But maybe we'll see something that looks like the U3-X in Honda's future product portfolio, or maybe we'll see lessons learned from the concept appear in other Honda creations. Time and market opportunities will tell.
While doing a bit of research for a recent blog post, I ran across two more examples of concept vehicles in the personal transport category. One is called Embrio and is the brain child of engineers at Bombardier in Quebec, Canada. Though I couldn't find a video of the Embrio in action – it may not even exist as a working prototype – the pictures tell a pretty intriguing story. According to an article in Forbes, the Embrio not only sports gyroscope-based technology to balance both machine and rider, it's powered by fuel cell technology. Pretty cool idea, though cruising along at roadway speeds might lead to more excitement than I'm ready to sign up for just now.
The second vehicle is the Segway Centaur (yes, I like Segway's machines) – kind of a four-wheeled version of the Segway PT. Among its other features, the Centaur gives the stability of a four wheel foot print when needed, with the maneuverability of the Segway PT's two wheel stance when the rider is in a tight spot. I read a Popular Science article about the Centaur several years ago, but never saw it in action. Thanks to YouTube, however, anyone can now see the Centaur out and about on a test drive. Sadly, the Centaur, like the U3-X and Embrio, remains a research project. All would certainly be a lot of fun to ride.
Every mechatronics product, including the 4 mentioned in this post, goes through 3 general project phases: idea, research, production (I know…there are a lot of details behind these 3 phases, but the details are prompts for another discussion). During the idea phase, engineers ask a lot of "What if?" questions – the brainstorming sessions at the local pub complete with back-of-the-napkin illustrations and calculations. If an idea is lucky, it gets promoted to the Research phase where engineering experience is combined with modeling, simulation, and analysis to turn an idea into a working prototype. From the Research phase, even fewer ideas make it to the Production phase and are turned into something users can purchase.
Many, many products make it to the Idea phase – in keeping with the theme of this post, there are a gazillion personal transport ideas floating around; as the old adage goes, "Ideas are a dime a dozen". Relatively few of the ideas, however, find their way to the Research phase – for their sponsoring companies, the Segway PT, U3-X, Embrio, and Segway Centaur made the cut. Then there are the rare few that have enough momentum to actually see the Production phase and make it to market – like the Segway PT. To be successful, a company has to find and nurture the ideas that can make it all the way to the Production phase and hopefully turn a profit.

Flomerics' FloTHERM.PCB Thermal Software is Finalist in IEC's 2007 DesignVision Awards
January 2007
The International Engineering Consortium (IEC) has announced that FloTHERM.PCB thermal design software from Flomerics is one of only three finalists in the PCB Design Tools category of their prestigious 2007 DesignVision Awards. Finalists were chosen from among a record number of competing products by a panel of judges selected from DesignCon's Technical Program Committee. "We are delighted that the IEC has recognized FloTHERM.PCB software as one of the top three PCB design tools in 2007," said Dr. Mike Reynell, Director of Marketing for Flomerics. "FloTHERM.PCB dramatically streamlines the PCB design process by providing thermal simulations at a very early phase before routing and other design details are established."
A key advantage of FloTHERM.PCB is its interface to Cadence® Allegro® PCB Editor software. The FloTHERM.PCB/Allegro interface transfers information about the PCB's geometry and components needed to perform thermal analysis. It can quickly analyze the design from a thermal standpoint and identify problems at a stage in the design process when they can be quickly and inexpensively corrected. "These days thermal densities are such that engineers must consider thermal solutions and the consequent mechanical requirements in the earliest stages of board design," Reynell said. "Our new link to Allegro PCB Editor enables users to analyze and optimize a thermal model of their board in a matter of minutes."
This year's Technical Program Committee consisted of 96 of the industry's top thought leaders. IEC President John Janowiak stated, "Our DesignVision Awards honor those catalyzing positive change in high-technology, business, and academia, completely in line with the IEC's mission. We are delighted to announce the winners at this year's DesignCon in Santa Clara and share the best design advancements with the entire industry." The IEC hosts a record-breaking number of exhibitors at DesignCon 2007, which takes place this January 29 through February 1 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California. Winners will be announced at DesignCon on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at noon in the theater of the Santa Clara Convention Center.
FloTHERM.PCB combines functional, component placement and thermal views of the design into a single virtual model, enabling systems, hardware, mechanical and thermal engineers to design collaboratively and re-solve design conflicts quickly and effectively. Besides Allegro, FloTHERM.PCB also exchanges information with the other members of the Flomerics integrated analysis environment, FloTHERM and Flo/EMC. For example, the same PCB design that is used to create a FloTHERM.PCB model can also be incorporated into a system-level model in FloTHERM. Being able to address thermal management and EMC issues within a single environment makes it possible for mechanical engineers to get a head start on the difficult design tradeoffs that are frequently required between these two disciplines.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) -- California authorities have arrested a 31-year-old woman accused of helping coordinate activities of Los Angeles gang members from her home in central Kansas.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Francis Hardiman, who was in Salina on Wednesday to arrest the woman, told The Salina Journal (http://bit.ly/mhYnH9) the suspect was a "critical cog in the wheel of the machinery of organized crime." She was arrested at her home without incident.
Authorities have accused the woman of using cellphones and computer communications from her Salina home to coordinate criminal activity of the Surenos street gang in Los Angeles and Mexican Mafia members in Los Angeles County jail.
Hardiman said it's not uncommon for a gang member in her position to be located far from the correctional facility where gang members are housed, but living in another state is not typical.
Hardiman said she originally is from California, where she will return to face formal charges. Salina police Lt. Jim Norton, who assisted in the arrest, said that process would likely take about two weeks. The Los Angeles County prosecutor's office said Thursday that formal charges had not been filed.
Norton said the woman has not been accused of any crimes in Kansas and has lived in Salina for about a year. He said there are about 120 to 150 Surenos gang members in Salina.
Evidence collected at the Salina house, including cellphones, computers, hard drives and documents, would indicate she was "heavily involved" in setting up assaults, drug trafficking and other criminal activity "right from her living room," Norton said.
