Rumor Royalty Rumors
Neal On Garza Trade
I recently named La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune as Rumor Royalty for the Twins. He answered a few questions for MLBTR.
MLBTR: Given the loss of Carlos Silva and probable trade of Santana, was it wise for the Twins to send Matt Garza to the Rays?
Neal: The Twins needed to address their offense. They were deficient last season at third base, left field and, on the days Joe Mauer wasn't available, designated hitter. Scouts from other organizations keep talking about Delmon Young's 40-homer potential, and it was nice to hear Brendan Harris say, "everyone has to pull their weight at the dish," on the day of the trade. I've covered this team for 10 years and have seen a lot of bad offense.
You can't blame the Twins for not re-signing Silva, but you wonder why they didn't trade him during the season when the Phillies and other teams were interested.

Neal On Johan Santana Talks
I recently named La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune as Rumor Royalty for the Twins. He answered a few questions for MLBTR, so let's kick it off.
MLBTR: Are you sick of the Johan Santana saga yet? These talks have been dragging for a month after it seemed like something would get done at the Winter Meetings. Who will cave in – the Twins, Yankees, Mets, or Red Sox?
Neal: Can't wait for this to end! I think the Twins have sent out signals in recent weeks that they have lowered their demands some in order to get something done. I initially felt that the Red Sox had the best chance to land Santana because I kept hearing how well talks were going. Then I thought the Yankees would step up and make the deal because they have a greater need for a front line starter than Boston. But the Mets have a greater need than the Yankees, and as soon as the Twins indicated that they would accept a deal with the Mets without Jose Reyes being involved the Mets' chances shot upward.
I don't blame a team for holding out to get what they want, but Santana will require a hefty contract extension wherever he winds up. A team won't empty its roster and take on salary. So get what you can and move on.

Rumor Royalty: La Velle E. Neal III (Twins)
As originally described here, Rumor Royalty is an MLBTR series where I name the one journalist for each team who has done the most for us hot stove junkies. If the writer is up for it, I ask that person questions for publication on the site. You can see all of the entries in the series here.
Today we present the honor for the Twins to La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. You may also know him by the nickname LEN3, which I first saw on Aaron Gleeman's site. In addition to filing stories as the Twins' beat writer, La Velle keeps a blog for the paper. This has become an invaluable resource, especially for Johan updates. La Velle kindly answered three Twins questions for MLBTR, which will be appear over the next few days.

Slusser On The Dan Haren Trade
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle was recently named Rumor Royalty for the A's. She answered a few questions for MLBTR for the series.
MLBTR: Some have called Billy Beane's return on Dan Haren "quantity over quality." Do you agree? What is your opinion on the Haren haul?
Slusser: My understanding is that the A's felt that Arizona might be the best match all along for Haren and that they received pretty much exactly what they asked for, so clearly these are prospects the A's valued highly, Carlos Gonzalez and Brett Anderson in particular. Maybe there's some belief the A's should have gotten one of the Diamondbacks' young big-leaguers, but that was never on the table. I'm not sure they would have done better elsewhere, and they got some quality and certainly quantity – which isn't a bad thing. Mark Ellis was a throw-in in the Damon deal, essentially; no one really noticed him at the time. He turned out to be the most valuable piece, long-term.

Slusser On Barry Bonds Possibilities
We recently named Susan Slusser Rumor Royalty for the A's. She is the team's beat writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. As part of the feature she answered a few questions for us.
MLBTR: Could you see any team beside the A's signing Barry Bonds? In your estimation, what's the most the A's would pay for a year of Bonds
Slusser: An insider told me at the winter meetings that two other teams besides the A's had asked about Bonds, so it's impossible to rule out. If he plays – and that seems to be a pretty big if — Oakland has the best shot, but estimating a salary is really tough. If there's no other interest and Bonds really wants to play, considering all the issues that surround him, the price tag could be pretty cheap, say $5-$6 million. If there's more interest, it could go up. The A's did pay Mike Piazza $8 million last year.
Do the A's really want Bonds, though? There are good reasons to sign him, and equally solid reasons not to. They need to put fans in the seats after moving their most popular player, and they don't have much in the middle of the order right now. On the other hand, they might alienate much of their fan base with Bonds, and a team that is in "full bore" rebuilding mode might not be looking to spend on a 43-year-old free agent with lots of legal problems and an iffy clubhouse reputation. There is no doubt it has been discussed internally, however.

Slusser On Blanton/Street/Ellis Trade Possibilities
Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle was recently named Rumor Royalty for the A's. As part of the feature, I asked her a few questions.
MLBTR: It seems Joe Blanton is a hot commodity, but we're not hearing much about Huston Street or Mark Ellis. Do you expect any of these three to be with the team on Opening Day?
Slusser: I think Blanton gets moved by the trading deadline, at the latest, but probably before then. Street opens the season with the team but potentially could get moved by the deadline if a contender were to lose a closer, but overall, he's less likely than Blanton to get dealt – he's three years younger and, coming off an arm injury, he's not going to bring back as much. Ellis has one year left on his deal, so wouldn't bring a ton in return, plus he's a great guy to have as a role model for young players. Clearly, no one is untouchable at this point, but of all the A's more veteran guys, he's the best bet to be around all year.

Dutton On The Buckner/Callaspo Trade
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star recently snagged our Rumor Royalty honor for the Royals. It's a way to acknowledge the best beat writer for each team, the person who brings us the most hot stove material. I do a Q&A with each writer, if they're willing. Click here and scroll to see all the entries in the Rumor Royalty series.
MLBTR: Do you think swapping a solid-looking starter in Billy Buckner for a young second baseman in Alberto Callaspo was a wise move by Dayton Moore?
Dutton: I think it was a reasonable gamble — but it was a gamble, no question about it. Callaspo's off-field problems are well-documented, but he'll get a new slate in Kansas City.
The Royals' reasoning was this: They have no long-term replacement for second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, who turns 38 at the end of June. Esteban German is a top utilityman but his production tends to fall off when given regular duty. Callaspo was a top prospect throughout his minor-league career.
The Royals also believe Buckner tops out as a No. 4 starter. I've got to say that I didn't see much in his limited big-league time, but I mean that in both ways. His stuff didn't particularly impress me, but I really didn't see him pitch a lot. Some folks I respect think he's got a real chance.
From Arizona's view, put Buckner on a young, talented team in a rotation that includes Webb, Haren and, probably, Johnson, and there's a chance he really blossoms. Also, the D-Backs don't need Callaspo even if he wasn't a headache.
The question for the Royals, however, is whether it's worth trading a young, back-of-the-rotation starter for a young second baseman with high-end potential. If you need a second baseman, I think it's a no-brainer — until you factor in that the second baseman brings some baggage. That baggage makes it a gamble.

Dutton On DeJesus/Teahen Trade Value
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star took home the Rumor Royalty trophy for the Royals. We did some Q&A as part of the series. Click here to read the other parts of the Dutton Q&A.
MLBTR: What would you consider a reasonable trade return for David DeJesus? Does he have more trade value than Mark Teahen?
Dutton: DeJesus is a proven, reliable player who is under contract for favorable terms through 2011. In other words, he's a long-term piece in the club's plans. Not an All-Star but a good player capable of helping any club.
The Royals are willing to trade him because they have a reasonable alternative in Joey Gathright and have two solid CF prospects (Jose Duarte and Derrick Robinson) who played last year in A-ball. But the only way they trade DeJesus is if they get similar value in return — a young, proven, reliable player with a favorable contract.
That could be a No. 3 starter — someone closer to a No. 2 than a No. 4; a corner-position player with some pop; or a long-term fit at catcher. Personally, I don't see that deal out there at the moment, but the Royals are willing to listen.
DeJesus should have more trade value, right now, than Teahen because he's much more of a proven commodity. He also has that club-favorable contract. That said, Teahen has more upside. He can play first, third, left, right and even center. He showed an ability to drive the ball in 2006 before experiencing a power dive in 2007.
Teahen has the tools to be an All-Star, but lots of guys with tools never turn them into skills. This is a big year for Teahen.

Dutton On Royals' Strategy
I recently named the Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton as Rumor Royalty for the Royals. He was kind enough to answer a few questions for the site.
MLBTR: In general, the Royals are signing and entertaining free agents as if they expect to contend in 2008 (Miguel Olivo, Ron Mahay, Jose Guillen, Yasuhiko Yabuta). What's your take on this strategy?
Dutton: They've done all that and tried to do more. As I mentioned above, I think they had the top bid on Kuroda, and I'm pretty sure they had the top bid on Andruw Jones. They were also a serious contender to sign Torii Hunter before the Angels blew away all bidders.
The reason is simple: They're trying to win. General manager Dayton Moore knew only winning in his time in Atlanta and, for now, he's got the green light from owner David Glass to spend money. They'll never be one of the top-spending clubs, but they figure to be closer to the middle than the bottom.
One reality is, right now, they have to overpay guys to come to Kansas City. And one problem, right now, is overpaying isn't always enough to get the player. The Tigers went through the same lurching process a few years back before Dave Dombrowski got things rolling.
What happened in Detroit was some of their pricey signings paid off and, more importantly, their farm system began to produce in a big way. That's what must happen for the Royals to succeed.
Gil Meche pitched well last year and needs to continue doing so. Jose Guillen needs to be a reliable run-producer. The Royals can't afford to be wrong when they shell out big bucks. Not often, anyway.
But the bigger key is whether Alex Gordon, Billy Butler, Mark Teahen, David DeJesus, Tony Pena, etc., can become the cornerstone of a winning club, and whether the farm system can produce top talent at a much higher rate.

Hong Kong: China`s former world and Olympic champion Liu Xiang took another step in his recovery from a career-threating injury on Friday by winning the 110 metres hurdles at the East Asian Games in Hong Kong.
Liu coasted to victory against a mediocre field in a time of 13.66 seconds, well behind the 12.88 he ran to set a world record in 2006 before a torn achilles forced him to limp out of the Beijing Olympics last year.
Cuba`s Dayron Robles has since bettered the world record by one-hundreth of a second.
"My foot is good, there wasn`t much problem, but it was a little sore," the 26-year-old Liu told reporters on the track, where his every move was cheered by a sellout crowd of 3,500 people.
"It will definitely get slowly better ... though I still have to protect my body a little more."
Liu, who finished second in an IAAF Golden Grand Prix in his home city of Shanghai in September before winning gold at last month`s Asian athletics championships, said the 2012 London Olympics were one of his major goals but played down the chances of taking back the world record.
"I haven`t even thought about breaking the world record, I don`t have such hopes at all," said Liu.
"I have confidence in competing in London ... it may be my last Olympics so I`d like to have a good finish (to my career)."
Liu`s long-time coach Sun Haiping described Liu`s performance as satisfactory, adding that the hurdler was a little tired.
"The recovery isn`t bad, but he still needs time," Sun told reporters.
Next year`s schedule would depend on Liu`s progress but would likely include the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Doha in March and the Asian Games in Guangzhou, said Sun.

Family, friends remember Ellen Revelle
By Dave Schwab and Nicole Reino
Staff Writers
Ellen Revelle, member of the Scripps family and widow of UCSD founder Roger Revelle, died yesterday of a massive stroke at Thornton Hospital. She was 98.
Mrs. Revelle was born July 31, 1910, in La Jolla. She was the grand-niece of Ellen Browning Scripps, who helped found Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Mrs. Revelle graduated from Scripps College in June 1931, and she and her husband joined the colony at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where Roger eventually became the director.
Roger and Mrs. Revelle's four children, Mary Revelle Paci, Anne Revelle Shumway, Carolyn Revelle and William Roger "Bill" Revelle, remember their mother as a person of many and varied interests.
"She listened to opera and classical music and she loved theater and was an active member of a playreading group," said daughter Mary.
"Her philanthropic efforts sprang from her interests," said daughter Carolyn.
Along with making major donations to the La Jolla Playhouse, Mrs. Revelle served on the board for the San Diego Symphony.
"Our mother was brought up believing one should be a steward for future generations," said son William. "She cared about La Jolla and wanted to make La Jolla a better place, and she did that by being involved in various civic organizations."
Mrs. Revelle, with her daughter, Mary, donated the 1904 Wisteria Cottage to the La Jolla Historical Society last July.
"It's hard to express the level of sadness everyone at the La Jolla Historical Society is experiencing with Ellen Revelle's passing," said John Bolthouse, executive director of La Jolla Historical Society. "This is a truly enormous loss to the entire community. When reflecting on how meaningful Ellen's contributions to the society and the entire community of La Jolla have been over the years, one can't help but be inspired by the legacy she's left us. Ellen Revelle was probably the greatest friend the La Jolla Historical Society ever had and we will cherish her memory for a very long time."
Along with supporting the Historical Society, arts and other community groups, Anne said her mother was also very active politically right up until the end of her life.
Mrs. Revelle supported President Obama and worked at Democratic headquarters in La Jolla until failing health forced her to work at home.
"She wrote thank you letters to volunteers," said Anne, adding her mother was a warm and elegant person. "She was definitely a lady," she said. "She was charming and witty. She was an amazing woman with incredible energy."
A memorial service will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. May 10 at Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla. In lieu of flowers, the Revelle family suggests donations in Mrs. Revelle's memory to UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography or Scripps College in Claremont, Calif.
The Bishop's School:
"The Bishop's School community is saddened at the passing of Ellen Revelle, the great-niece of School Founders Ellen Browning Scripps and Eliza Virginia Scripps. The Revelle and Scripps family have played an important role in the history of The Bishop's School, especially at this moment in time as the School observes the 100th anniversary of its founding in 1909. The Bishop's School is proud to count Mrs. Revelle's daughters among its alumnae."

Lipton Tea runs Instagram photo challenge
Unilever-owned Lipton Tea is targeting a younger demographic for the first time, with an Instagram photo-challenge campaign.
Lipton Tea: launches Liptagram photo-challenge campaign
The campaign, called 'Liptagram', created by OgilvyOne, will run for four weeks and will target a younger, 22- to 30-year-old demographic. Currently, Lipton Tea has an older demographic of drinkers.
The photo challenge will invite fans of the brand to tag their Instagram photographs with weekly themed hash tags, which celebrate Liptons' core values – for example, #LiptonBrightness.
A Liptagram Facebook app houses the competition, which will offer weekly prizes to the winners of each challenge. One overall winner will win an all-expenses-paid safari trip to Kenya for two.
The Liptagram competition is running across 11 countries.
OgilvyOne has created films to promote the four themes that have been seeded via Facebook.
Anthony Wickham, chief digital officer for Unilever, at OgilvyOne UK, said: "By harnessing the cross over between Instagram users and Lipton's target demographic, Liptagram taps into an existing behaviour, while bringing fresh relevance to the brand.Follow @johnreynolds10

Haas expects team decision soon
Gene Haas is the only person to have publically declared an interest to join F1 with a new team Getty Images Enlarge Gene Haas believes a decision on his bid to form an F1 team for 2015 could be made in the next fortnight after a "pretty intense" meeting with the FIA. Haas has pressed ahead with his plans despite warnings from Bernie Ecclestone it would be "most unlikely" such a venture would succeed. But Haas, who co-owns a NASCAR team, had talks with the FIA in Geneva after the Daytona 500, where he admits he was asked to give a thorough account of his application. "They have a very - I want to call it - formal way of processing applications in the sense that...

That is very true. But that the Panther's arena is actually in Sunrise, Florida - pretty far from the tourist spots. If a Las Vegas team had an area in walking distance from the strip and your choice for the evening was between Carrot Top, Celine Dion and an NHL game I think they could take advantage of the tourists. Also, the hope would probably be that there would be that people would gamble on the game and then go watch it.
Again, I think it's a horrible idea, but (if the rumour is true) that is probably what bettman is thinking.
Tourists go to Vegas to see Celine Dion, Carrot Top, Penn and Teller, etc. along with gambling. They don't go to see a hockey game. Even if they do come from Detroit, or Toronto, or wherever to see their team play Vegas, they're not going to be buying $150 Las Vegas Regrets jerseys, and $20 hats, or the other merchandise.

Price on Request
Bruce Silverstein is pleased to present 10 Years: A Slideshow by the installation artist and photographer Zoe Strauss. This slideshow marks the culmination of Strauss' I-95 project, a ten year long endeavor for which Strauss displayed her photographs by affixing them to the pilasters supporting the overpass of Interstate-95 in South Philadelphia. The slideshow featured at the gallery is the artist's final selection of the images she created for this project over the last decade.
For a single day each May (from 2001-2010), Strauss revitalized and transformed a derelict and unused public space into a site for art, facilitating community and social interaction through her installation. At the end of the exhibit, the laminated installation photographs were free for the taking. As an artist, Strauss prioritizes accessibility and she enthusiastically promotes discourse regarding her work and artistic process via her well-known and widely followed blog. She describes her work as an effort to create an "epic narrative that reflects the beauty and struggle of everyday life." While her chosen subjects and scenes of the American urban landscape can seem unflattering, troubling or blighted, they reflect the artist's interest in confronting and depicting life in America—not in a manner of pure social journalism, but as a method of exploring her interests in visual abstraction as well as employing the camera as a self-reflexive tool. The viewer is challenged to question his or her response to Strauss' depiction of our cultural climate via the signs, streets, storefronts and portraits that comprise it.
Zoe Strauss (b.1970) is self-taught. She has been represented by the Bruce Silverstein Gallery since 2007. Her work was exhibited in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, the Wexner Center for the Arts, The Art Institute of Chicago, and recently in a solo mid-career retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2012. She is a recipient of a Pew Fellowship, a USA Gund Fellowship, and a Seedling Award in photography from the Leeway Foundation. She founded the Philadelphia Public Art Project in 1995 with the objective of exhibiting art in nontraditional venues. She has produced two books, America and 10 Years.

Ancient whodunit may be solved: The microbes did it!April 1, 2014 8:41 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT | News | Comments
Fossil remains show that sometime around 252 million years ago, about 90% of all species on Earth were suddenly wiped out in what was the largest of this planet's five known mass extinctions. But pinpointing the culprit has been difficult, and controversial. Now, a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers may have found enough evidence to convict the guilty parties, but you'll need a microscope to see the killers.
Erasing a genetic mutationMarch 31, 2014 9:15 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Using a new gene-editing system based on bacterial proteins, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have cured mice of a rare liver disorder caused by a single genetic mutation. The findings offer the first evidence that this gene-editing technique, known as CRISPR, can reverse disease symptoms in living animals.
Researchers uncover secrets of a mollusk's bioceramic armorMarch 31, 2014 7:43 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
The shells of a sea creature, the mollusk Placuna placenta, are not only exceptionally tough, but also clear enough to read through. Now, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have analyzed these shells to determine exactly why they are so resistant to penetration and damage; even though they are 99% calcite, a weak, brittle mineral.
A new angle on controlling lightMarch 28, 2014 7:43 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Light waves can be defined by three fundamental characteristics: their color (or wavelength), polarization and direction. While it has long been possible to selectively filter light according to its color or polarization, selectivity based on the direction of propagation has remained elusive. Until now.
Robot builds on insights into Atlantic razor clam dynamicsMarch 25, 2014 11:10 am | by Helen Knight, MIT News correspondent | News | Comments
The Atlantic razor clam uses very little energy to burrow into undersea soil at high speed. Now a detailed insight into how the animal digs has led to the development of a robotic clam that can perform the same trick. The device, known as "RoboClam," could be used to dig itself into the ground to bury anchors or destroy underwater mines.
MRI reveals genetic activityMarch 25, 2014 7:57 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Doctors commonly use MRI to diagnose tumors, damage from stroke and many other medical conditions. Neuroscientists also rely on it as a research tool for identifying parts of the brain that carry out different cognitive functions. Now, a team of biological engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology is trying to adapt MRI to a much smaller scale.
Engineers design "living materials"March 24, 2014 9:45 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers have coaxed bacterial cells to produce biofilms that can incorporate non-living materials, such as gold nanoparticles and quantum dots. These "living materials" combine the advantages of live cells, which respond to their environment and produce complex biological molecules, with the benefits of nonliving materials, which add functions such as conducting electricity or emitting light.
Cells get ready for their close-upMarch 21, 2014 7:45 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
In 2007, Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists developed a type of microscopy that allowed them to detail the interior of a living cell in 3-D, without adding any fluorescent markers or other labels. This technique also revealed key properties, such as the cells' density. Now the researchers have adapted that method so they can image cells as they flow through a tiny microfluidic channel.
Fast synthesis could boost drug developmentMarch 19, 2014 7:42 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Small protein fragments, also called peptides, are promising as drugs because they can be designed for very specific functions inside living cells. Insulin and the HIV drug Fuzeon are some of the earliest successful examples, and peptide drugs are expected to become a $25 billion market by 2018. However, a major bottleneck has prevented peptide drugs from reaching their full potential.
Nanopores control inner ear's ability to select soundsMarch 18, 2014 7:41 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Even in a crowded room full of background noise, the human ear is remarkably adept at tuning in to a single voice—a feat that has proved remarkably difficult for computers to match. A new analysis of the underlying mechanisms, conducted by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has provided insights that could ultimately lead to better machine hearing, and perhaps to better hearing aids as well.
Novel membrane reveals water molecules will bounce off a liquid surfaceMarch 17, 2014 9:38 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Consider the nearest water surface: a half-full glass on your desk, a puddle outside your window or a lake across town. All of these surfaces represent liquid-vapor interfaces, where liquid meets air. Molecules of water vapor constantly collide with these liquid surfaces: Some make it through the surface and condense, while others simply bounce off.
Bionic plantsMarch 17, 2014 7:36 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Plants have many valuable functions: They provide food and fuel, release the oxygen that we breathe and add beauty to our surroundings. Now, a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers wants to make plants even more useful by augmenting them with nanomaterials that could enhance their energy production and give them completely new functions, such as monitoring environmental pollutants.
Researchers write languages to design synthetic living systemsMarch 14, 2014 10:08 am | by Emily Kale, Virginia Tech | News | Comments
A computer-aided design tool has been used by researchers at Virginia Tech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create genetic languages to guide the design of biological systems. Known as GenoCAD, the open-source software was developed to help synthetic biologists capture biological rules to engineer organisms that produce useful products or health-care solutions from inexpensive, renewable materials.
Soft robotic fish moves like the real thingMarch 13, 2014 8:05 am | by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | Videos | Comments
Soft robots have become a sufficiently popular research topic that they now have their own journal, Soft Robotics. In the first issue of that journal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers report the first self-contained autonomous soft robot capable of rapid body motion: a "fish" that can execute an escape maneuver, convulsing its body to change direction in just a fraction of a second, or almost as quickly as a real fish can.
How tumors escapeMarch 11, 2014 7:43 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments
About 90% of cancer deaths are caused by tumors that have spread from their original locations. This process, known as metastasis, requires cancer cells to break loose from their neighbors and from the supportive scaffold that gives tissues their structure. Cancer biologists have now discovered that certain proteins in this structure, known as the extracellular matrix, help cancer cells make their escape.
Driving down fuel usageMarch 10, 2014 10:57 am | by Rob Matheson, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Despite their potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption, electric and hybrid cars and trucks struggled for years to find a solid customer base. Much of the reason came down to cost and convenience: Electric car batteries are expensive, and charging them requires plug-in infrastructure that's still sparse in the U.S.
2-D material shows promise for optoelectronicsMarch 10, 2014 7:42 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
A team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers has used a novel material that's just a few atoms thick to create devices that can harness or emit light. This proof-of-concept could lead to ultra-thin, lightweight and flexible photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and other optoelectronic devices, they say.
Galactic gas stationsMarch 7, 2014 1:31 pm | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments

A river of plasma, guarding against the sunMarch 7, 2014 7:39 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
The Earth's magnetic field, or magnetosphere, stretches from the planet's core out into space, where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emitted by the sun. For the most part, the magnetosphere acts as a shield to protect the Earth from this high-energy solar activity. But when this field comes into contact with the sun's magnetic field, powerful electrical currents from the sun can stream into Earth's atmosphere.
New catalyst could lead to cleaner energyMarch 6, 2014 8:20 am | by Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | News | Comments

More work is needed to understand and optimize the reaction, but one day this approach could offer an easy and inexpensive way to recapture some of the carbon dioxide emitted by vehicles and power plants.

If you've run out of drinking water during a lakeside camping trip, there's a simple solution: Break off a branch from the nearest pine tree, peel away the bark and slowly pour lake water through the stick. The improvised filter should trap any bacteria, producing fresh, uncontaminated water. In fact, a team has discovered that this low-tech filtration system can produce up to 4 L of drinking water a day.
How to create selective holes in grapheneFebruary 25, 2014 7:55 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Researchers have devised a way of making tiny holes of controllable size in sheets of graphene, a development that could lead to ultra-thin filters for improved desalination or water purification. The team of researchers succeeded in creating subnanoscale pores in a sheet of the one-atom-thick material, which is one of the strongest materials known.
Going with the flow makes bacteria stickFebruary 24, 2014 7:32 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
In a surprising new finding, researchers have discovered that bacterial movement is impeded in flowing water, enhancing the likelihood that the microbes will attach to surfaces. The new work could have implications for the study of marine ecosystems, and for our understanding of how infections take hold in medical devices.
Closing the "free will" loopholeFebruary 20, 2014 8:01 am | by Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | News | Comments
In a recently published paper, researchers proposed an experiment that may close the last major loophole of Bell's inequality, a 50-year-old theorem that, if violated by experiments, would mean that our universe is based not on the textbook laws of classical physics, but on the less-tangible probabilities of quantum mechanics. Such a quantum view would allow for seemingly counterintuitive phenomena such as entanglement.
Smarter cachingFebruary 19, 2014 7:32 am | by Larry Hardesty, MIT News Office | News | Comments
Computer chips keep getting faster because transistors keep getting smaller. But the chips themselves are as big as ever, so data moving around the chip, and between chips and main memory, has to travel just as far. As transistors get faster, the cost of moving data becomes, proportionally, a more severe limitation. So far, chip designers have circumvented that limitation through the use of "caches".

Stephanie McMahon revealed on Twitter that she has a new jet plane. The belief is that WWE purchased the new vehicle for her because she will be attending events more frequently in the role of brand ambassador. Triple H and Vince McMahon will more than likely travel together to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown each week.
Since WWE stars had to travel through pretty rough weather this past winter, Vince McMahon is leaning towards doing more house shows on the west coast during the months of October through January, as the conditions on that side of the country are not nearly as harsh.
Travel isn't an easy thing. Since America Airlines lost their luggage, Natalya Neidhart and Tyson Kidd have no clothes to wear, so the WWE couple has no choice but to wear their ring gear in the hotel room. Natalya posted the hilarious picture on Twitter.
"One time, and this is a true story, we were in South Africa and [Cena] started battle rapping. He started rapping with someone and it was awesome. He went five minutes just talking about things around the room. And we were like, 'Oh my gosh. Where did that come from?' Tommy Dreamer heard it and Tommy took it to Shane McMahon and Shane McMahon heard it and took it to Vince McMahon and next thing you know he's a rapper on TV…and he had already been with us six months or so. Slowly but surely he just became John Cena the superstar."
- Tommy Dreamer telling a backstage story
Several people within WWE brought up the idea of interviewing Shane McMahon for a DVD, but upper management informed them to avoid doing that.

Using brainaid's NMEA tool, and a program called NavMonPC to read the NMEA data and forward it on a com port (virtual), and loading the kml file from here, it is possible to setup so that google earth reads that GPS data and overlay your position and track (and waypoints) with the real fleet in the race...
Instructions for those unfamiliar with this type of thing:
1) Download and install NavMonPC from here
2) Login to brainaid's site and open (or download and run) the NMEA proxy - login using that applet and click 'Start'.
3) Note the IP address and port that brainaid's tool indicates, you need to enter this in NavMonPC. (discard whatever is before the /)
4) Start NavMonPC and go to File->Connections->TCP/IP Client menu item, and enter the same IP address and port (you must enter both) as specified by brainaid's NMEA proxy and click 'Connect'. - You should see characters scrolling in the little text box below, and your SOL boat's data shown on the dials. Click 'Done' just above where you enter the IP address and you should also see your exact location coordinates, COG, SOG etc...
5) Now go to File->Connections->Virtual Ports menu item and select a COM port from the drop down list (doesn't matter which one) and click 'Connect'. Also checking the auto start will do this for you every timeyou start NavMonPC. You can also specify 2 more COM ports for other programs to use, like a router etc.
6) Open Google Earth and load the kml file from above, you will see the real Sydney to Hobart fleet, updated approx every 10 minutes by default (you can change by right clicking the main (top/root level) race and selecting Properties->Refresh tab.
7) On the tools menu in Google Earth select 'GPS'. On the options window that is displayed select 'Magellan' and 'Serial' on the 'Import' tab, and NMEA on the 'Realtime' tab then click 'Start'. Google Earth auto scans your com ports and should display 'Reading COM#' (where # is the number you setup in NavMon) when it finds your GPS data, on the Realtime tab on the GPS dialog. You should see a entries in the 'Places' section of google earth under 'Realtime GPS', including your position and path, which (on my pc) is displayed as a red line.
Note: for some reason, the number of duplicate wqaypoints seems to build up in the list each update...
*** The latest release of Google Earth may be needed (from some chat in the race)
*** The default GPS polling time is 4, you may want to increase this? maybe to 60 seconds
PS: As per my previous post, the AIS feature in NavMonPC can be useful for close racing in any SOL race also.
AIS = Advanced Identification System = other boat's COG/SOG etc
(although brainaid's site does advise that SOG can be up to 10% out)
