"Great Gatsby"
Several Ounces of Sterling Silver contribute to this elegant, masculine men's bracelet that will look as comfortable exploring Bali's blue water coves as it will strolling the upper west side of New York City. The swirling Balinese Dot motif detailing the precision clasp represents the superb craftsmanship that you only get from the gifted Bali artisans. This gorgeous clasp also employs the same precision spring lock found only in the high priced designer name pieces. When the Byzantine (traditionally) round or square design is made flat, a whole new dimension is created. And it's sensational!

I ordered cerveza for one euro with my room service in madrid and this is what came. Poured slightly cold from a can into a 4oz glass.
Overall impression is that it was not terrible but it was pretty forgettable. More hop bitterness than most beers i've had in this style but no hop aroma or flavor to speak of. Slightly skunky flavor, slightly above average body and below average drinkability. I'll probably have wine instead if given the option.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2014. Acquired as part of a 4-pack from a B&M store.
Poured into a stemmed pilsner glass. A clear golden colour with light carbonation. Forms a decent head of white foam that lasts for a minute or two before dissipating. Some lacing. Aroma of light malt with hints of stewed leaves and a touch of cardboard. Faintly harsh.
Tastes of weak malt with a dry finish. Notes of ultra-light malt, stewed leaves, harsh cardboard and a twinge of solvent. Unpleasant background flavour. Well-attenuated, followed by a crisp bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with decent carbonation and a thin, watery body. Somewhat astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of acrid stewed leaves and woodchips.
Meh - another subpar macrolager. Looks OK, while the aroma and flavour are dull and plagued by subtle off-notes that linger on the palate. Watery body. There's hardly anything to it; faint stewed leaves but that's it. Might be refreshing on a very hot day, though even then I would suspect that you could find something better. Give it a miss.

Mahou pours a clear, deep golden body beneath an average-sized head of creamy white. The head retention is good, and it leaves rings and patches of tiny spotted lace at the outset of the glass. Streams of tiny bubbles can be seen rising steadily. The nose combines grassy hops, gently sweet and grainy malts, a bit of corn, and yeasty fruitiness; and is simply an extension of the flavor held within. It's very lightly bitter, and leans towards maltiness with a cereal-like character to it. The grassy and subtly spicy hops help to balance it, but it still finishes a touch sweet. The malt lingers, but eventually gives way to some spicy hops as it fades. It's more interesting and satisfying than a standard American macro or Euro lager, but it's not particularly well done.

11.2 oz bottle poured into an icy mug at a small "Mexican-Spanish" restaurant in Bayside, NY.
Pale golden witha creamy white head, actually leaves a fair amount of lace on the glass. The aroma is nothing special, dry malt, no skunk which is a plus.
Taste is fairly clean and crisp, nothing much to distinguish this macrolager from many others, but it doesn't suck. Drinkable, refreshing.

During around a week in Madrid, this was probably the best beer I discovered. I am not really a fan of lager in general, though this has a unique taste that really complements Madrid. It is quite bitter and hoppy, with covert lemon and floral undertones, and all of its elements combine to form an overall flavour that is really different to the lagers of Holland, Germany, Czech and England.
The colour has a depth to it that is inviting in the glass. In the mouth, it's froth really gives you an experience. And the smell is as good as any lager I have had.
Beers always taste better when they are brewed locally, though I also had a Mahou in England, and the flavour was still there.

A: Poured a extremely clear, sunset orange with a flat, fizzy, off white head that was filled with macro-bubbles. Visible carbonation was light.
S: very light in strength with a light showing of fresh grains and a touch of dried honey toast.
T: light honey-oranges with a light flowery hopping. There was a light acidic nature to the drink with oranges and sour caramel malting that was found on the finish along with some dried lemon peels.
M: fizzy despite its calm visibility, slick, with a light sour finish off the tongue.
D: Drinkability was slightly less then average, a tad boring and would be hard pressed to drink more then 2 of these at any given time.

Pours amber with a small, white, fading head and lacing.
Nose shows hay, faint, plain cereal malt and very soft, spicy hops.
Similar flavours; hay and light sweet vegetal notes. Very little else.
Carbonation is much too high, body is very watery..

Appearance: Full yellow color. Poured with about one finger of slightly soapy-looking foam which had decent retention. Left just a little lacing.
Smell: First whiff from just-opened can was slightly sweet, but couldn't characterize it any more than that. In the glass, slight metallic odor.
Taste: A light hoppy bitterness. Very little sweetness. Not much other hops flavors either.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Good level of carbonation. Metallic and hops bitter tastes in the aftertaste. Dry finish.
Overall: Not hideous, but not noteworthy. A fairly typical mass market adjuct lager. The soapiness of the foam after pouring looks strange, but the smell and taste are just unremarkable. On the other hand, quite drinkable. This would be refreshing on a hot day.

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin bright white head that never completely faded away.
S: There are moderate aromas of adjunct malts in the nose along with notes of grassy hops.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and also has some hints of grainy malts. A light amount of bitterness is present and this lingers through the finish, helping to make the taste less offensive. Flavors of cooked corn seem to stand out among the adjuncts.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It neither feels thin nor watery.
O: This beer goes down easily but isn't very impressive in the smell or taste categories.

Picked up in a supermarket in southern Spain, this 33cl can was red and gold, featuring two lions holding a shield above the name and five stars on a banner below. Only ingredient info claimed a type of malt as an ingredient. Best before 9/20/06, I opened it on 10/27/05, still in Spain.
Pours a clear, slightly dark gold under a 1/2 finger white head that is thin and short-lived. No traces of lace. The nose is classic adjunct malt, heavy on corn but with a hint of metal. The mouth is light and very prickly. The opening reminds of sweet cornbread, followed by a fairly harsh metallic finish. The bitterness lasts a while in the aftertaste, with no malt to smooth the edges. Very standard macro swill.

Click here for live coverage of Apple's iPad 2 announcement
Apple is expected to unveil the new version of its tablet device at 1 p.m. ET on March 2, 2011. Looming questions include the iPad 2's price and whether CEO Steve Jobs, who is on medical leave, will attend the event. Here are three reasons why the iPad is the cheapest tablet.

Apple has started manufacturing a new version of its iPad tablet computer with a built-in camera and faster processor. WSJ's Yukari Kane joins Stacey Delo to discuss.
The new iPad will be thinner and lighter than the first model, these people said. It will have at least one camera on the front of the device for features like video-conferencing, but the resolution of the display will be similar to the first iPad, these people said. It will also have more memory and a more powerful graphics processor, they said.

A spokeswoman for Apple, Cupertino, Calif., declined to comment.
The production of the new iPad shows how Apple is moving forward in the wake of Chief Executive Steve Jobs's disclosure last month that he was taking a medical leave for an unspecified ailment. The iPad, which debuted last April, has opened a new market and is critical to Apple's success.
Since the iPad's release, Apple has sold 14.8 million units of the device. In Apple's December quarter, its most recent financial results, which it reported last month, the tablet contributed $4.6 billion in sales, or 17% of the company's overall revenue.
The new iPad is expected by Apple watchers to debut in the next couple of months at a similar price range as the current iPad, though exact details couldn't be learned. It currently costs between $499 and $829.
Piper Jaffray & Co. estimates Apple will sell 27 million iPads in 2011, and some investors expect as many as 35 million units in sales. "It's going to be a critical growth driver," said Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray.
The digits team discusses the results of a WSJ.com poll on whether readers will buy the new iPad when it hits the market, stick with the current iPad, or not buy one at all.
Like many of Apple's other products, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., better known by its trade name Foxconn, is assembling the new iPad, the people familiar with the matter said.
The tablet market has become more competitive since the iPad's arrival last year. Companies like Samsung Electronics Co., Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. MMI +1.24% Marcus & Millichap Inc.

Although the iPad dominates tablet sales now, research firm IHS iSuppli estimates that by 2013, the iPad's market share will decline to less than 50% of the overall market.

For mobile carriers, tablets like the iPad present a new revenue source. "Tablets are an important growth opportunity for wireless operators who are looking for new ways to drive data revenue," said Dan Hays, a partner with the consulting firm PRTM, adding that Sprint and T-Mobile could be significantly hurt again by being shut out from the market leading device.
All four carriers—AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile—currently sell Samsung's Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch tablet that sought to compete with the iPad. In early January, Samsung said it had shipped two million tablets but an executive revealed in the company's quarterly earnings call that those figures don't represent actual sales to consumers.

The carrier started selling the iPad in October and will begin selling the iPhone this week.
The one feature in the new iPad that may disappoint consumers will be the lack of significant improvement in the resolution of the device's display. People familiar with the situation said Apple has had trouble improving the display technology, in part because of the iPad screen's larger size compared with the iPhone.

Leaders, if you're frustrated at the level of your team or vendor's performance, look no further than the mirror.
Only in very rare cases will a team perform better than the level of their leader. Why?
Because the leader sets the boundaries, deadlines and guidelines. The leader creates the culture and sets expectations. As a result, no matter how gifted or creative a team is, if the leader is incompetent, insecure or inexperienced, the team can only work within that framework.
In the first post of this series, I began a discussion on the importance of pastors establishing healthy boundaries in ministry.
As it's an area in which I have personally struggled—and one in which I continue to grow—I'm passionate about sharing what I have learned in order to help others not make the same mistakes I did.
In the next four posts, I will share keys to establishing these boundaries. Think of them as four fence posts surrounding a healthy ministry.
How do you know when God is closing one door in ministry and opening another?
I get this question a lot and have previously addressed it, but recently I have received it more frequently, so I decided to write about it again. (I always note that this post is written about my experiences for people who may currently need it.)
Several times in my ministry, first as a layperson and since then in vocational ministry, God has called me to leave one ministry and begin another. It can be a scary place to face the unknown, yet know that God is up to something new in your life.
Through the ministry of Heal Your Servant, we have four scheduled weekly conference calls. Every call is unique, and most are filled with surprises. Sometimes we will have one person on a call, and other times we have several callers.
On a recent phone conversation, I had one individual call in. I introduced myself. He then gave me his name. As is customary, I began a short prayer, asking God for His wisdom.
I concluded, and instead of hearing the words, "Amen," I heard, "Why do you do this?"
It was as if the Lord had been preparing me for this question.
The youth ministry I grew up in was amazing. I was offered so much activity and was infused with so much passion that I was always serving somewhere.
Each week started with Sunday school, followed by Sunday service and a meal out with fellow youth groupies. Sundays ended with the evening service. On Monday nights, we went street witnessing, on Wednesdays we had youth group (all of the "mature" students served in multiple capacities), and on Friday nights we did ministry at the nursing homes.
My spiritual life was packed with social activities and service opportunities, and I owned my kingdom responsibility. I wanted to make a difference, and I wanted to win the world.
I have been doing some form of pastoring for almost 30 years, and I have certainly been a sucky pastor on many occasions. So, I hope you can learn from my failures and use them too. Here are seven ways I've been a sucky pastor at some point or another.
1. I was a sucky pastor when I allowed myself to get burned out. I forgot a very simple fact: If you don't take care of yourself, you will not be able to care for others! A burned-out leader is a dangerous leader. Please care for yourself emotionally, and make sure to do whatever it takes to fill yourself up on a regular basis.

Over the past year, the Village of Farmingdale has kept and continues to keep taxes within the 2 percent levy cap threshold. Meanwhile the Standard and Poor's Bond rating for the Village went up two points to AA.
We recently settled a 9-year-old lawsuit at no cost to Village residents as our former insurance company will cover all disbursements. Future residential development dispersed throughout the village will have a 10 percent workforce housing requirement. Housing income caps will be five percent at 80 percent and five percent at 50 percent of the Nassau County household median income.
Presently, there are only three vacant storefronts downtown, with new store openings in the next few months, including The Village Diner, Charlotte's Frozen Yogurt, the Dark Horse Tavern, Hush Speak Easy, Blue Hawaiian Restaurant, La Dolce Care and a "Make Your Own Pizza" restaurant.
The village also broke ground on the long-awaited Bartone-TDI development project, which involves the development of 154 housing units adjacent to the LIRR station, with 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space. And at the end of March, Staller Associates will demolition the property at 235 Main Street with 300 sq. ft. of retail and 27 housing units. Also 285 Eastern Parkway will be redeveloped with 26 units of apartments.
We are also awaiting the approval of the New York State Department of Transportation for a left hand turning lane on Main Street at the Conklin Street intersection. This will boost traffic flow through the Downtown. The Secatogue Avenue and Conklin Street
intersection will be getting a right hand turn arrow—at the Valero Gas Station—to enhance traffic flow.
Farmingdale Village received a $200,000 grant through Rep. Peter King for new Scott Breathing Apparatus for our Fire Department, and recently approved the capital purchase of trucks, one of which is retrofitted with a large capacity dump body for debris removal.
The Village continues to have events on Main Street and plans on expanding the "Movies on the Green". This March we will also be holding our Second Annual "St. Patrick's Day Parade" on March 23, at 1 p.m. down Main Street. We hope to see you there.

There was a time when people knew what they were eating. Frozen meals, fast food chains and ingredients impossible to pronounce were non-existent. Instead, simple ingredients and meals were all made from scratch.
Joann P. Magri, owner of The Divine Olive, is keeping this way of eating alive. Offering hungry customers with a choice in quality foods and ingredients, Magri encourages customers to make their own meals. With shelves stocked full of 18-year-old vinegars straight from Modena, Italy, to extra virgin olive oils infused with various herbs and flavors, the Divine Olive features a variety of organic and vegan products, all 100 percent natural. It even has handmade spaghetti and fresh bread, which perfectly pairs with all of their other products.

It's a cute little 'bug.' What it represents, however, is anything but cute.
An unusual-looking Volkswagen is toodling around Long Island this month. Painted to resemble the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), the VW Beetle is part of efforts by the US Department of Agriculture to eliminate the pest, which can destroy 70 percent of an area's tree canopy, according to the agency. Initially, officials held hope for complete eradication from about 23 square miles of LI designated as infested or at risk by 2016. Instead, this "landcape-altering pest" is spreading.

Hi Everybody,
- Influences and Teachers:
- Paul Chambers, Charlie Mingus, James Jamerson, Ron Carter, Michael Rhodes, and Charlie Hayden
I'm Jeremy and I play Blues, Jazz, Folk, and Country bass.
I'm 35 years old (been playing for 20+) with a 9-5 day job. I read charts and lead sheets, can improvise, sight read, and have a classical theory education.
Influences are the likes of Paul Chambers, Charlie Mingus, James Jamerson, Ron Carter, Michael Rhodes, and Charlie Hayden. I also know a couple hundred jazz, blues, and country standards and have fakebooks for the rest. I'm not active with any specific bands right now, but I host a weekly jam session and do fill-in for some amazing jazz talent.
After 8 years of classical training, I majored in music history (for a while) in college and got a (partial) jazz performance scholarship to a midwestern college with a great music department. A little jazz, some blues jams, a couple bar-friendly rock shows, and some private lessons turned into very, very, very little money after that and I decided that if I wanted to eat at somewhere more elegant than McDonalds someday, I'd have to switch to business.
I was gigging regularly (every few weeks) in a piano-bass-vocal jazz and blues cover trio with about 25% originals for about 5 years, but the singer and pianist got married and moved to SF. I played in sessions and rock bands for a while and made another attempt to get a working group together a couple years later. Both my upright and bass guitar were stolen after the first gig. The music had to be pushed to the back burner until I replaced both gear and enthusiasm.
Replaced the essential gear recently, dusted off the chops, and have been jamming weekly this year in a 6 piece folk-rock group. I *think* I've been able to get enough of the arpeggios back and go through the fakebook enough times that I finally feel comfortable talking to someone in my preferred genres.
So, let's bring the 12-bar, and remember there's no money above the seventh fret!

Full detailed profile on Stefano DiMera Played by Joseph Mascolo on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Joseph Mascolo (NBC)
Birthday: March 13 1935
Stefano watches Rafe kiss Jordan in the doorway of Rafe's apartment. They notice him and Rafe asks what the hell he's doing there. Stefano introduces himself to Jordan. Rafe growls, "Get out." Stefano says he made a promise to God to make amends to everyone he's wronged. Rafe sends him packing. Jordan says his apology seemed sincere. Rafe sneers. Jordan talks about this anger and hatred driving Rafe to get better. He asks what happened to her that she knows about such things? Jordan makes an excuse to leave. He invites her to join them for the holidays, but she says she'll be working. Once alone, Rafe recalls kissing her.
At the station, Stefano laughs when Hope wants to grill him about Kristen. His answers mock her. Hope says it's not a laughing matter to Father Eric. Stefano says Kristen paid a price - she lost the man she loves. Stefano insists he hasn't heard from Kristen and doesn't know where she is. He imparts words of wisdom about parenting and leaves.
Stefano spots Kate in the park and recalls their time in Stockholm. He asks her to get together for dinner next week so she can tell him exactly what she thinks of him. As he leaves, Lucas asks, "Was that Stefano?" He advises her to stay away from him.
At the DiMera mansion, EJ mentions 'being by the river' to Sami. He pulls out a tag with the initials N.F. on it and says he found it a few feet from where her earring was located. Sami looks ill. He muses it could stand for Nick Fallon and they go back and forth until he wonders if Nick was following Sami when she lost her earring. When he moves to call Hope, Sami stops him. EJ asks why she's lying. Sami tries one more time to deflect, but EJ notices she keeps referring to Nick in the past tense and says he doesn't believe her. He begs her to tell him she didn't kill Nick Fallon. EJ realizes he's right and that Gabi knows too. Sami admits, "We killed him." She tells EJ everything, and that Kate was there too - it was her idea to throw Nick's body in the river. EJ nearly falls off the sofa when Sami says Sonny also knows. She assures him Will is clueless. Sami says they've been covering with his family. EJ stresses that this is all very stop-gap; he won't just fade away. Sami apologizes for not telling him. EJ embraces her. Stefano bursts in, "Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas! I'm back!"
EJ meets his father at a restaurant. Stefano gives EJ Chad's ring to return to Abigail. EJ complains about Kristen's seduction of the priest and tells him things are rocky between him and Sami because she knows he knew Kristen's secret before everyone else. If Sami knew just how much he knew...he hopes it'll never happen. Stefano's certain she'll never find out but even if she doesn't, EJ doesn't think she'll ever commit to marriage.
From the DiMera mansion, Kristen calls Stefano. He will be headed to Boston to be with Chad during his surgery and can't walk her down the aisle at the wedding. She's upset and almost postpones but he won't let her. He jokes about how much fun it'd be to see the reaction on everyone's faces if they knew what she did to Father Eric. She lectures him. Father Eric's a wonderful man and she wouldn't have had sex with him if she wasn't so out of her mind after losing Brady. She's in a better place.
In the DiMera mansion's great room, Stefano tells Sami almost every word she said to him at the hospital about being responsible for Chad's shooting was true. He tells her about his pact with God to change. Sami's sceptical. "I'll wait with bated breath," she says sarcastically. From the bottom of his heart, he apologizes for everything he has put her through. Sami's eyeballs pop out of her head in shock. She doesn't know what to do with this but he wants to make it up to her. Lucas arrives to pick up Sami. Stefano tells her Allie is a sweet girl and he's invited anytime he pleases to visit her. He goes and Lucas is stunned by his gesture. She calls him the new and improved phoenix - he seems sincere. Lucas snorts and worries about his kid living there. They start arguing. She doesn't want to uproot Allie based on one incident. Lucas gives her a few days to think about letting Allie go live with him. He's tired of her and EJ and their 'thug life'. He'll bring Allie to her in a few days only if she's not living there.
Stefano surprises Daniel with a visit to his office at the hospital. He thanks him for saving his son's life. It's a little awkward and Stefano offers to repay his debt by getting rid of Theresa. Daniel refuses.
At the hospital, Maxine tells Will and Sonny there's no news yet on Chad. Feeling helpless, Sonny gets an idea. Near the hub, Jennifer comforts a scared Abigail while Sami tells Kristen she blames Stefano for Chad's shooting. EJ watches his father unseen at the chapel while Stefano blames himself and begs God to keep his son alive. In the OR, Daniel continues to work on Chad, refusing to call the time of death. Eventually, Chad's monitors beep. EJ goes to Sami. If Chad makes it, he'll understand what the price of being a DiMera is. Sami suggests he speak to Kristen, who is beside herself with fear. EJ can only ponder why Chad stepped in front of the gun for him.
Sami's stopped by a nurse who tells her she knows how she's feeling since she has been through this before. Kristen goes to the chapel when EJ says that's where their father is. Nearby, Jenn tells Abby she doesn't need to hear every detail of her daughter's life but notes she hasn't been there for her. Abby sings Chad's praises and says they had sex. Kristen goes to the chapel and hears Stefano confess about how he ditched Kate when he should have forgiven her and how it was he who pushed her into Rafe's bed, which started a chain of events that gave him nothing. "Samantha's right. At this point, all my power is useless." He barters with God and Kristen quietly leaves. Stefano can't lose another child. Back in the OR, Daniel uses the paddles on Chad. Sami tells EJ by the hub, she'd take a bullet for Eric and is sure EJ would have for Chad. EJ admits he blackmailed Chad to move into the mansion in order to make Stefano happy. Sami says he didn't seem that miserable about it. In the OR, Cameron is in awe of Daniel when Chad's heart starts beating again. Sonny and Will return. Kristen has kind words for Abigail. Hope and Roman arrive and Daniel and Cameron tell the family Chad made it through surgery but the bullet did damage. He'll be in pain for a while. EJ kisses Sami and shakes Daniel's hand and gives Cameron his gratitude. Cameron can't hurt Abby, so decides to keep Chad's secret. EJ runs to tell Stefano the news and they head back to the hub. A nurse finds Cameron and hands over Chad's chart while Abby visits an unconscious Chad. She cries and Cameron overhears her call Chad the sweetest and most generous man. She spots Cam and hugs him for saving her beau. She goes. Stefano finds Kristen and hugs her. Kristen and EJ later sit by Chad's side. Kristen tells Chad she loves him and EJ tells his brother he'll never forget what he did. Outside, Roman tells Sami Marge could have killed her or EJ or their kids. He reminds her of spending time in witness protection and tells her to think long and hard about marrying him. "Is this really the life you want?" In his room, Chad's visited by Stefano who thanks God and talks about his promise to God to be a good father, grandfather, and will try to make up for past misdeeds. He has a feeling someone will be watching and will make sure he keeps his end of the deal.

Dear Sister,
I believe that the two Pierres are one and the same, and that your Anne Mongrain is in fact Marie-Anne Lafond dit Mongrain. Mongrain is not an immigrant name, but a "dit " name assumed by Anne's father Jean. Pierre & Anne had a daughter named Marie-Louise, born in 1750 in Batiscan. I think she is your Louise. Pierre is the son of Francois Duclos dit Carignan and Charlotte Dutaut, my ancestors. Please contact me via e-mail.

CO2 Applications
Last year in this focus on CO2 applications, I (as others have) connected enhanced
oil recovery (EOR) as an enabling business foundation and a possible way forward
to accomplish carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a business investment. This year,
in an address to the CCS conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US Department of
Energy (DOE) Assistant Secretary of Fossil Energy Charles McConnell encouraged the
CCS industry to help operators establish a salient business case between CO2 EOR and
usage and sequestration. Creating a technical lead in CO2 EOR and other usage technologies
establishes an opportunity to commercialize the technologies that could be
in high demand in the years to come, particularly in coal-reliant developing countries
such as China and India.
The technologies needed to accomplish carbon capture, utilization, and storage
(CCUS) require expertise in science and engineering that, in some cases, are not completely
matured or, at least, require a different focus and commitment in science and
business to affect CCUS. An acceptable return on investment will depend on economic
CO2 capture and largely on regulatory stability.
Administratively, the US Environmental Protection Agency proposed a carbon
pollutions standard for new power plants, which will have to meet 1,000 lbm
of CO2 per electrical megawatt-hour produced. Older coal plants average approximately
1,768 lbm of CO2 per megawatt-hour but are exempt from the standard, as are
plants permitted to begin construction within a year. A typical natural-gas electricitygeneration
plant emits 800 to 860 lbm of CO2 per megawatt-hour.
Legislatively, the proposed US Senate Clean Energy Standard Act of 2012 would
implement a credit system to reduce CO2 emissions. A study by the DOE and the Energy
Information Agency (EIA) to evaluate the effects of this policy concluded that virtually
no electrical generation will occur in 2035 from US coal plants that use CCUS
technology even though CCUS is awarded nearly a full credit under the proposed policy.
The policy predicts a significant shift in the long-term electricity-generation mix
in the US by 2035, with coal-fired generation falling to 54% below the reference-case
level. Combined heat and power generators fired by natural gas increase substantially
through 2020, and nuclear and nonhydropower renewable generation plays a larger
role between 2020 and 2035. The proposed policy could reduce US electric-power-sector
CO2 emissions to 44% below the EIA's reference case in 2035. National average
delivered electricity prices could increase gradually to 18% above the reference case
by 2035. However, there will still be a need to use the CO2 from the gas-powered plants
in the US and coal-powered plants worldwide by CCUS or other methods. These conclusions
concur with recent reports published by some major oil and gas entities on
the future of natural gas for electrical generation in the US.
The need for pure CCS in developed countries such as the US may not be as great
as in developing countries; but, the US and other developed countries have the ability
and capability to implement CCS through CCUS.

Mitigating Disaster–A Look at the Ohmsett Oil Spill Research and Test Facility
Robin Beckwith, Staff Writer JPT/JPT Online
On 11 October 2011, the X Prize Foundation announced the winners of the USD 1.4 million Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE, launched during the summer of 2010 in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in the US Gulf of Mexico. According to a press release, "the competition inspired entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists worldwide to develop innovative, rapidly deployable, and highly efficient methods of capturing crude oil from the ocean surface." Emerging from an original field of more than 350 submissions from all over the world, Elastec/ American Marine of Carmi, Illinois, captured the USD 1 million first prize, with Norway's NOFI Tromsø awarded the USD 300,000 second prize; no contestant's cleanup system qualified to receive third prize.
Testing the 10 finalists' technologies in order to determine the winner would have been impossible were it not for a facility called Ohmsett (Oil and Hazardous Materials Environmental Test Tank). What is Ohmsett, and why is it so critical to the development of oil spill prevention and mitigation technology?

Can Geoscientists Resolve the CCS Paradox?
International energy and climate organizations have found carbon capture and storage (CCS) to be a promising technology to resolve the squeeze between fast-growing global energy needs and global warming. Even environmental organizations say that making our energy use more efficient and building enough new renewable energy capacity takes too long. We need to get the CCS working to curb the growing greenhouse gas emissions if too large a climate change is to be avoided.
CCS consists of three major interdependent steps:
- Capture the carbon, CO2 out of flue gases, either from the stack of a power plant or the blast furnace top gas in iron making.
- Transport it by pipeline or ship it underground.
- Safely keep it in a storage site for thousands of years.
The technology for each of these steps has been used for decades in the industry, mostly in oil and gas. The important change is the scale–from about 100,000 to 1 million metric tons per year in the past. Today, we see the need for handling 10 million tons in each installation and for perhaps several thousand installations. The amount of CO2 produced from one power station varies from 2 million to 10 million tons; a modern iron-making blast furnace emits up to 10 million tons per year. The costs of the technologies for a large-scale CO2 handling chain are estimated to be split roughly 75%-10%-15% for capture-transport-storage.

Tore A. Torp is adviser for CO2 storage at Statoil, leading the storage part of Statoil's research and development program (R&D) on CO2 capture and storage. He joined Statoil in 1984 from the steel industry. Between 1984 and 1996, he led large international R&D cooperation projects developing complex offshore field technologies. Since 1997, he has been project manager of Statoil CO2 storage R&D projects. He was vice chairman of the CSLF Technical Group, and was a lead author of the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage. He received a PhD in material sciences from Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Quantifying the Invisible: Getting a Handle on Methane's Climate Impact
Robin Beckwith, Staff Writer JPT/JPT Online
Earlier this year, a Cornell University professor made quite a splash publishing a paper asserting that emissions from shale gas rivaled those from coal. A July 2011 study issued by the Post Carbon Institute underscored this conclusion. Not so, say five separate recent reports–from Carnegie Mellon University, IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA), the US National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Argonne Laboratory, and Deutsche Bank Climate Change Advisors (coauthored by individuals from Worldwatch Institute and ICF International). At heart are issues related to measuring and quantifying emissions of an odorless, colorless gas–methane (CH4)–considered the second-most prevalent long-lived greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2).

Evaluating the Environmental Cost of Biofuels Policy: an Illustration with Bioethanol
AbstractIn this article we develop an innovative methodology for assessing indirect land use change effects related to biofuels policies in a Computable General equilibrium framework. We apply this methodology in looking at the impacts of ethanol policies in the United States and in the European Union under different trade policy options. Our results show that ethanol production has environmental benefits only under certain restrictive assumptions: in four from our five sets of parameters tests, the payback time for ethanol production was found to be at least 10 years in 2020. The results should be interpreted with some caution as there are many assumptions involved in such an assessment.

OPP: Hotel for Prom
by Slacker And Steve
posted May 6 2013 4:21PM
Today's OPP is from Halle who is facing a dilemma and needs advice.
Yi! My 17 year-old daughter asked me if she could stay at a hotel on prom night with her boyfriend. Her friends are renting rooms and she wants to be a part of the action. I trust my daughter, but not some of her friends. Since January, we have grown closer by putting some of our differences aside. I would hate to destroy that goodwill by saying NO, but understand I need to be a parent FIRST and a friend SECOND. What do I do? Should I rent her a room or not?
Slacker and Steve are standing on the fence for today's OPP. They see why a hotel would be cool, but on the other hand getting a hotel pretty much means that Halle is condoning a trashed hotel room, relations, and adult beverages being consumed. So does Halle become the mom who is the toughest and says no, or does she put her credit card on the line and potentially have a large bill from the trashed room, or even worse a grandbaby.
What advice do you have?
I am indifferent on this topic; I had a friend lose her brother, because he was so tired he fell asleep at the wheel. I see the importance of staying the night somewhere based on the sole fact of exhaustion, but I also don't think that a hotel to party and hang out with her boyfriend and friends is the best way to go. If all of her friends have hotel rooms, why doesn't she just share with them?

Vision To Visuals: Challenging The Norms
Find your style
|Photos by Robert Whitman adorn the eryn brinié store in New York.
Photography always has played an integral role in the world of fashion. From early masters like Man Ray, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon to contemporaries like Juergen Teller and Karl Lagerfeld, photographers have elevated fashion brands out of their commercial milieu and rendered them timeless. A successful relationship between a fashion designer and a photographer such as the one between Teller and Marc Jacobs demonstrates that when a designer makes the photographer an integral part of his or her creative process instead of treating the photographer simply as an executor of a predetermined vision, the outcomeis an iconic brand that embeds itself into the public's imagination forever. Examples of such collaborations are rare, however, and much of fashion branding continues to be dominated by formulaic imagery. I was fortunate to be part of one such wonderful collaboration between acclaimed photographer Robert Whitman and the retail brand eryn brinié from Korea.

Friday, Feb. 14, although it was Valentine's Day, KES school was in session. A celebration of a sort was in progress with inflatables in the school gym. The inflatables were a reward from Chip Shoppe for raising almost $8,000 for our school. The money will be used on I-pads and play-ground equipment for our third and final phase of this project. Staff photo by Stephanie Johnson.
It made national headlines two weeks ago because it happened in a Utah school. But it made local headlines eleven years ago because it was happening here too.
Students went through the lunch line but, if there wasn't enough money in their lunch account, their trays were taken away from them and emptied into the garbage. In front of them and their schoolmates. It was a lose-lose situation all the way around: students were humiliated, food was wasted, and the school still lost money.
Thursday, March 13, has been selected as the day for Kimball's Kindergarten Roundup for the school year 2014-2015. The plan is to meet in the Kimball Elementary School gym at 5:30 p.m.
This is for children who will be age 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2014.
The Cubs of the Month have been selected at Kimball Elementary School for the month of January, 2014. Each name is followed by their grade. In front row, left to right are Bailey Schwieters, second, Miranda Kimmes, kindergarten, Nolan Nistler, kindergarten, and Jamison Klein, kindergarten. In second row are Cheyenne Nyholm, first, Kylie Kesanen, third, Daisie Pramann, first, and William Serbus, second. In third row are Tyler Schmidt, fourth, Layla Lee, third, Skylor Gruba, fourth, Lilly Rhodes, fourth, and Robert Curtis, third. In fourth (back) row are Grace Rowland, fifth, Jaden Degree, fifth, Tori Harren, sixth, and Justice Boyer, sixth. Not pictured is Summer Zamora, fourth. Staff photo by Stephanie Johnson.
Thursday, Feb. 6, the CME group and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) celebrate 25 years of the CME Beef Industry Scholarship, and Texas A&M University student Shelby Schiefelbein, originally from Kimball, has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship as an outstanding student pursuing a career and a bright future in the beef industry.
Introduced in 1989, the scholarship recognizes and encourages talented students who will one day be industry leaders, investing in the future and ensuring the next generation has skills to lead the beef industry. In honor of the 25th anniversary, CME Group has awarded 25 students with the Beef Industry Scholarship.
