GE White Paper: Age of Gas To Bring Greater Flexibility, Resilience
Denser networks for natural gas will contribute to greater flexibility and improved economics, according to a new white paper released by GE. The paper, called the Age of Gas, argues that the expanding network of natural gas infrastructure expected from the gas boom, will enhance deliverability, leading to greater supply resiliency and less price volatility. The GE paper lays out the incredible synergies that could come about from increasing linkages between ship, pipeline, rail, and trucking networks for natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and small scale generation and fueling systems.
Notes authors Peter C. Evans and Michael F. Farina, "Large scale multi-billion dollar "mega" pipeline and LNG projects will "anchor" future gas network growth…complementing these large-scale systems will be a new generation of smaller modular "satellite" systems. Gas networks will evolve around the world based on the development of anchor systems and satellite opportunities." As these systems integrate, gas delivery will become "more flexible and more resilient" driving "significant institutional and market changes," and also opening the way for "gas to capture a larger share of energy demand," the authors argue.
Natural gas is well positioned to improve overall system resiliency, GE notes, given gas' important role as a back-up for renewables and as a stable service during severe weather events given that gas networks are often underground and less susceptible to interruption than roadways and power grids. "Gas technologies are supporting new concepts for grids-within-a-grid and multi-source micro grids to increase resilience and reaction time in the face of disruptions" Evans and Farina say. They explain further: "In addition, distributed power systems built around gas networks can provide fast power recovery for public utilities such as hospitals, waterworks, and government agencies, which is very important in disaster relief."
Importantly, by embracing the build-out of natural gas and distributed energy networks in the United States, including export capacity, the U.S. can lead the way globally to "democratize" energy, much the way its Silicon Valley giants have democratized information. Now, on the 40th anniversary of the 1973 embargo, the United States has a historic opportunity to lead an energy counterrevolution.
As I write today with Edward Morse of Citi at Foreign Policy.com, "American innovation and exports of energy supply and technology will open global energy markets to competitive investments and consumer choice. But Washington needs to embrace this choice by resisting the call to continue to ban energy exports to protect vested business interests or for resource nationalistic reasons."
The U.S. governmentneeds to support the reform of the electricity utilities to hasten the transition that GE is describing in its white paper: More-efficient technologies, locally produced and distributed generation, time-of-day pricing and peak-demand shaving and integrated networks for renewable energy and natural gas. By leading the charge to these new energy technologies, the United States can fashion a global energy world more to its liking, where distant oil producers can no longer hold American drivers hostage or turn off the heat and lights to millions of European consumers to further geopolitical ends.
Just as it was difficult to predict the impact of Apple computers and smart phones on future global social and political trends, it may now seem hard to imagine how America's unconventional resources and smart-grid innovation will democratize energy markets. But Apple did reset the way we think about computing and communications and brought disruptive change to the world. The disruptive technologies currently unfolding in the energy sector are also pointing to free markets versus government control and consumer choice winning over supplier monopolies, with US companies and consumers the winners in the future of energy game.

Amy, this is well-worn T. Boone Pickens nonsense which purports to present natural gas in a support role for renewables/distributed energy, when in fact the reverse is true: absent zero-carbon credentials of its own, and knowing full-well renewables are incapable of becoming a significant global energy supply, the gas industry is attempting to ride into the energy picture on renewables' coattails - then dominate it.
Of course it's easy for the industry to stumble when trying to appear benevolent and patriotic at the same time - historically always an uneasy relationship. Thus we get the paradoxes of American gas exports somehow democratizing the world; of the U.S. fashioning a "global energy world more to its liking" and "distant oil producers further[ing] geopolitical ends" somehow presented as distinct phenomena; and the rejection of "resource nationalistic reasons" after the industry has been plugging itself with an advertising campaign based on that very premise.
About the best that can be said for natural gas is there's a lot of it and it's not as harmful as coal. That's not good enough. Climate change is quickly inducing profound changes in the character of our world, the effects from which are agreed by most experts to be deleterious and last for tens of thousands of years. The fossil fuel industry has enabled the U.S. to become the most wasteful and polluting society per capita on the planet - going forward, do you really believe it deserves to call the shots?

Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For May 2nd, 2014
Hey, it's HighScalability time:
Google's new POWER8 server motherboard
- 1 trillion: number of scents your nose can smell; millions of square feet: sprawling new server farms
- Quotable Quotes:
- Gideon Lewis-Kraus: As the engineer and writer Alex Payne put it, these startups represent "the field offices of a large distributed workforce assembled by venture capitalists and their associate institutions," doing low-overhead, low-risk R&D for five corporate giants. In such a system, the real disillusionment isn't the discovery that you're unlikely to become a billionaire; it's the realization that your feeling of autonomy is a fantasy, and that the vast majority of you have been set up to fail by design.
- @aphyr: I was already sold on immutability, pure functions, combinators, etc. What forced me out of Haskell was the impenetrable, haphazard docs.
- @monicalent: Going to be migrating away from Rackspace to save some cash. Recommendations? Both Digital Ocean and Linode are half the price for 1GB RAM.
- Linus Torvalds: So while I'd love for 'make' to be super-efficient, at the same time I'd much rather optimize the kernel to do what make needs really well, and have CPU's that don't take too long either.
- Joe Landman: when the networking revolution comes, the cheap switches will be the first ones against the wall
- @etherealmind: Buying public cloud can say I can't afford a house so I'll buy a tent. Because that works just as well, right ?
- Neil DeGrasse Tyson: The act of doing it perfectly is the measure of it going unnoticed.[....] when it's done perfectly it goes unnoticed or, at best, it's just taken for granted.
- How we scaled Freshdesk (Part I) – Before Sharding. Requests per week boomed from 2 million to 65 million. They scaled vertically for as long as they could to handle the increased load. Increasing RAM, CPU and I/O. First using read slaves for their heavily read weighted traffic, then assigning queries to particular slaves. Writes still needed to scale, so they turned on MySQL partitioning. Then caching of objects and html partials. They also used different storage engines for different functions. RedShift for analytics and data mining. Redis for state and as a job queue. But in the end they had to embrace the shard.
- This took some guts. Fouresquare uses data driven decision making to decide to deportalze their app: We looked at the session analysis and saw that only 1 in 20 sessions had both social and discovery. Why not actually just split those apart, because 19 out of 20 times, tapping on one icon or the other, you have satisfied your need completely.
- The blockchain story is bullshit: Looking at the blockchain from a realist's standpoint, it is not obvious that there is a need for a worse-performing database, that an unregulated oligarchy has disproportionate power over, that isn't improved with administrator arbitration. It looks like a technology looking for a problem to solve, rather than a technology created to solve a problem.
Don't miss all that the Internet has to say on Scalability, click below and become eventually consistent with all scalability knowledge (which means this post has many more items to read so keep on going)...

Warning about polar plunge came too late
On a Facebook page of one of the children, Lucas saw a video of a youth he knew jumping into a frigid area pond, with the boy, first, however, "nominating" five other people to do the same.
Lucas said he wanted to prevent tragedies from the polar plunge challenge so he began working on a press release warning about the plunge.

Breakfast. Location
Too noisy
Clean, near the centre of city. Good breakfast. Good stay if you are going to catch up the train.
Too narrow. Especially for the bathroom.
I like the location of the hotel.
The price of room was a little bit expensive from the other nearby hotels and the internet wifi was slow.
Breakfast is awesome. Huge choice of cold meats, cheeses, hot food (eggs, meatballs, sausages...), fruit, cakes, breads, fruit juices, real coffee machine... Nice rooms and a cozy little hotel bar.
Quilts on the beds are way too small - I kept ending up too cold. Receptionist on departure was particularly obtuse, refusing to accept bank card payment which makes things rather complicated as a business traveler.
Great location. Great breakfast. Great rooms. For 3 stras hotel , this is amazing hotel.
Hotel Mirabell is an adorable, quaint hotel with an excellent location and very affordable price. The complimentary breakfast was amazing! I would absolutely stay here again.
Very nice breakfast.
Clean, modern, everything you need! Good variety at breakfast!
In-bath shower
Comfortable bed, excellent breakfast buffet, fast wi-fi (most of the time), close to the train station, friendly and helpful staff
Not very close to the tourist center, wi-fi login is complicated
breakfast courtesy location
Quite simply, the breakfast at this hotel is the best around. The room was small and clean, staff friendly, but it is the breakfast which makes great.
The area where the hotel us is a little rough, lots of sex clubs / shops and drunks and junkies.
close to Munchen Main trainstation hotel had good price/cost value
area is not nice and during night quite loud.
The decor of the rooms was nice and modern. The in- room facilities were also good. The staff were helpful and let me keep my bag there for a couple of days on a side trip. The location is good too - a short walk to the centre, and the area around the hotel is not as bad as other reviews stated.
The mattress was rather thin and there was no top sheet either; no other extra sheets were available In the room, which is ok for October but I'd freeze during the winter months.
Closer to the station though was a bit difficult to find at first- 6-7mins walk. Clean rooms and good staff! Room size was better than many. Quite liked it!
The staff here are some of the best we've encountered! The room is cozy but large for a room in Munich. The location is near EVERYTHING!
This hotel pays attention to quality, everything was well-planned. Parking at back yard.
The room was cramped, but the price for it was the highest I paid in my entire round-trip.
The location was excellent for main station, shopping and Oktoberfest. The Reception staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast was excellent, great choice and quality. The room was very modern, clean and comfortable.
The Breakfast staff were not that polite and when I said I was alone when needing seating she literally laughed in my face. I just happened to be staying in a different hotel to my friends and even if I was alone, so what? I often travel alone for both business and pleasure and have never been laughed at for dining alone.
Staff is friendly and helpful. Hotel is nicely decorated and very clean. A couple of minutes walk from Hauptbahnhof, which is also connected to Karlsplatz and train to airport. Short walking distance to downtown (Marienplatz), and to Oktoberfest when it's on.
This area is very noisy, so by choosing this convenient location you compromise tranquility. I guess that's the case in many cities when you're close to the transportation hub.
Rooms and service great
Street noise is crazy loud
Ideally located not too far from Oktoberfest, train station and only a 15 minute walk into Central Munich. Excellent wifi coverage Very good included breakfast with wide selection.
Although the hotel was excellent it was overpriced for what it was, although I do understand that this was use to high demand period that comes with Oktoberfest.
Close to Central Station
Street noise
Breakfast was excellent and the hotel was very near to the main train station
Rather noisy at night
the location is very poor. although in the city center of Munich you feel like being in a different country
excellent breakfast buffet, nice and clean room, quiet at night, staff was really nice and helpful. location was very good and walking distance to shopping area and Marienplatz.
room was a bit narrow after putting up the baby crib. the shower door was kind of tricky because it wasn't all the way sealed so water could spell out while showering.
The staff were marvellous in accommodating our wishes, whether it was the front desk, the room staff or the breakfast organisers. They not only made my wife and I comfortable whenever we had dealings with them, but also were putting our needs first. The room was perfect. The breakfast (included) had a tremendous range of foods available, and you would not be able to find fault with the managers, always attentive. I think if they had been able to they would have changed the weather for us too!

Vintners win South Island trademark fight
Relevant offers
The New Zealand wine industry has won a four-year battle to prevent an Australian supermarket giant from trademarking the name South Island.
Woolworths applied to register a trademark wine label in New Zealand in 2009 using the name South Island and an image of a mountain.
The New Zealand Winegrowers Association (NZWA) said the mark would give Woolworths an effective "monopoly" on the South Island name being used on wine bottle labels.
The association spent four years opposing the application in defence of southern winegrowers and was awarded more than $3000 in costs by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).
NZWA general counsel John Barker said the logic behind trying to trademark the name South Island was a "mystery".
"We didn't have any option but to defend it," he said. "It draws a line in the sand."
Trademarking geography would be bad for an industry in which consumers needed to know where wines were made.
South Island pinot noirs, for example, were recognised as different from their North Island counterparts.
Mt Riley Wines had used the South Island geography on its wine bottle labels and opposed Woolworths' application.
General manager Amy Murphy said she was surprised the application had made it so far through the IPO's process.
"It would have caused us a few difficulties if it had got through," she said.
Mt Riley used the South Island as the origin for some wine in American markets.
The IPO ruled the Woolworths image was not distinctive enough to be trademarked. A logo dominated by the words "South Island" could cause confusion for consumers.
The industry had history of using similar mountain symbols and the South Island name in labelling to denote the origin of the wine rather than a specific label.
Woolworths had already successfully registered its wine label as a trademark in Australia. However, Australian intellectual property legislation allowed for a caveat to be added that would prevent Woolworths taking legal action against brands using the name.
In many countries Geographical Indicators (GI) are used to ensure products are labelled correctly with the region of origin.
Champagne must come from Champagne in France and Bordeaux must be from Bordeaux.
The use of GIs allows consumers to authenticate the origin of a product and be confident it fits the expected character of products from the area.
Barker said legislation was organised in 2006 to set up a similar system for New Zealand, which would be helpful for consumers. It would also allow wine regions to be mapped out for the consumer and producer – meaning wines from Marlborough would carry a Marlborough GI.
The association was now calling for the Government to finalise the legislation.
If New Zealand had a GI system in place it would be harder to trademark geographical areas.
Woolworths Australia said it was considering its options. It had the opportunity to appeal the decision to the New Zealand High Court.
Famous geographical indicators that define a product's quality and character:
Champagne wine (France)
Gruyere cheese (Switzerland)
Prosciutto di Parma – Parma ham (Italy)
Bordeaux wine (France)
Tequila spirits (Tequila, Mexico)
Darjeeling tea (India).

MSI NX8600GTS graphics card
Nvidia stole a march on ATi when it launched the DirectX 10 GeForce 8800 GTS and GTX chips back in October 2006. Even though the G80/8800 was a powerhouse of a chip we wondered who exactly would spend the thick end of £400 on a single graphics card or £800 on a pair of the things in SLI. MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256E-HD-OC graphics …
Nice to see
that a 6800GTS graphics card does so well in the benckmarks.
take a look at the benchmark tables again, they say 6800gts not 8600gts, just thort i would bring it to your attention
I'll attempt.
I'll attempt to bring to your attention, in a cohesive manner, what I believe the two previous posters are attempting to say. It appears that you have made a mistake in your images, and called the NX8600 and 'NX6800'. If this is not a typo, I would enjoy if you would tell me where I can find this positively beastial 6800-based GPU.
Yup, it's a typo alright
Sorry about that chaps. The review was written in a tearing hurry over the weekend but even so it was a daft mistake.
Hopefully Scott will correct is ASAP
Leo Waldock
Corrected typo
Sorry about that. It was indeed a typographical error. All sorted now though.

Tony from San Francisco, CA– Verified Buyer
I saw this garden stool and really like it because it match with the red decor in my house. However, when I received the stool. The color is not bright red like in the pic . It actually a dull red. Which it doesn't match with the red decor that I have. I want to return it but I just don't have the time. So I decide to keep and gave it to a friend .

This Week in Cybercrime: What Do We Know about the South Korean Cyberattack?
Clues But No Conclusive Evidence
What do we know about this week's cyber-attack on South Korean broadcasters and banks? We know that it was a coordinated attack that hit roughly 32 000 computers on 20 March at 2pm local time. We know that it took several hours to restore online banking services for Nonghyup Bank and two other banks and to get the companies' ATMs up and running. And although TV broadcasts by YTN, a 24-hour news channel, and two other networks were not affected by the attack, the networks' computer servers may have suffered severe damage. Researchers have also figured out that the malware was programmed so that when the clock struck two, it would disable a machine's security software, determine which version of Windows its host was running, and begin corrupting the hard drive. According to researchers at FireEye, the malicious code then overwrote all the hard drive contents. After wiping the hard drives and master boot record, the program forced a reboot that turned the computers into high-tech paperweights. According to a Wired article, the malware "also included a module for deleting data from remote Linux machines. The malware searched for remote connections and used stored credentials to access Linux servers and wipe their master boot record."
Another piece of the puzzle, provided by security firm Trend Micro, indicates that its researchers detected a phishing email sent to South Korean organizations on the day before the attack. That come-on, ostensibly from a bank, had an attachment laced with a Trojan. This leads Trend Micro to think that the hackers had taken advantage of their own form of just-in-time delivery.
What we don't know for sure is where the attack originated. The knee-jerk conclusion most observers jumped to is that North Korea had begun to make good on the threats it had been issuing since it was hit with UN sanctions following a nuclear test in February. It wasn't long before China became the focus of suspicion. But as investigators dug deeper, South Korean government officials who initially said they traced the attack to a Chinese IP address had to admit a certain level of uncertainty. The IP address turned out to be one used internally by NongHyup Bank, one of the victims of the attack. South Korea's Communications Commission said it belatedly discovered that by a freak coincidence, the address matched one registered in China. But South Korea still hasn't taken North Korea off its list of suspects because this wouldn't be the first time its neighbor to the north targeted the country's media, banks, and government agencies. Seoul is still smarting from the so-called "Ten Days of Rain," a 2011 denial of service attack for which it blames the Pyongyang government; the attack is said to have been an elaborate scan of South Korea's computer defenses.

Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella. Other participants in the match include Alex Riley, Big Show, Booker T, Bray Wyatt, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Curtis Axel, Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Jack Swagger, John Cena, John Morrison, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Mason Ryan, R Truth, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Tyler Reks, Tyson Kidd, Vladimiz Kozlov, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
Shelton Benjamin is on the sidelines after having elbow surgery, but that doesn't mean that he's avoiding the wrestling ring. The former WWE star recently was a guest trainer at a seminar held by Booker T in Houston.
Former nWo stable mates Kevin Nash and Booker T have come to terms on a contract. Nash, who surprised wrestling fans by returning to WWE at Royal Rumble 2014, will be working a show for Booker on February 15, and there is a chance that he could be working more dates for the promotion.
Aside from his day job as a WWE personality, Booker T is making some really good progress as a wrestling promoter. The former world champion has reached a deal with Kube to air his Reality of Wrestling on a weekly basis in the Houston area.

Last week, Jim Barnett raised a question about nonprofit journalism: What makes it legit? How do we know if a nonprofit news outlet shares the ideals and culture of traditional journalism, and how can we make sure we don't get fooled by advocacy groups disguised as objective journalists?
It's a difficult question — the Internet makes publishing wide open to everyone — and at the end of his post, Barnett lays out a list of what he thinks we should use as a starting point when deciding what is and isn't a legit nonprofit news outlet. He lists various IRS and accounting standards, a number of vague measures of professionalism, and what I'd consider an unfair standard, whether an organization is credentialed by federal or state government.
This is one place where Barnett and I disagree. Before coming to the Lab, I used to edit a nonprofit news site, The Washington Independent, where for two years I dealt with the reality of who gets considered "legit." If you're not, you lose out on the privileges given to traditional media outlets. Take Congressional press passes: The Washington Independent was denied admittance to both the daily and periodicals galleries because the site was not chiefly supported by subscriptions or advertising. (Our support came from donors and foundation grants.)
The Independent's reporters are resourceful, but not having that credential sometimes put stories out of reach. When Republicans released their alternative budget in a credential-required portion of the Capitol, we didn't get to attend. We were shut out of an event where we would have had access to ask lawmakers direct questions. Congressional credentials are the toughest to get in Washington (compared to White House credentials, or campaign plane credentials, for example) and as such are sometimes used by other groups as the standard for access. For example, when Vice President Dick Cheney spoke at the American Enterprise Institute in 2008, our reporters were not allowed to attend because they didn't have a Congressional credential.
Legitimacy is a tough word when it comes to journalism; here I'm using it just to refer to the limited set of privileges that come with an external journalistic seal-of-approval. (Legitimate reporting can come from outlets without that seal of approval, of course, and illegitimate work can come from the biggest names in the business.) But as far as organizational legitimacy goes, I'd argue that instead of looking at a nonprofit's structure, or vague markers of professionalism, we should think about criteria that more directly capture what a nonprofit news outlet should be.
I thought about what I thought made the Independent trustworthy, and what distinguished us from other journalism-like nonprofits that were more like advocacy groups — the ones who might use their access to lawmakers for lobbying. I came up with three questions I think distinguish a nonprofit as a legit news organization:
1. Does the nonprofit create original news or commentary on a regular schedule?
2. Does it directly reach an audience (or does it fuel news outlets)?
3. Does it spend its money on and dedicate the bulk of its resources to journalism?
Producing news
Does your organization produce news and/or commentary daily, weekly, monthly, or in some other regular interval? It's a simple criteria that weeds out nonprofits that sporadically put out reports. It also excludes transparency groups, many of which do excellent work, but are not in themselves journalists. (To help clarify this point, imagine that instead of transparency, these groups were focused on any other topic. A searchable database is useful and interesting, particularly to journalists. However, providing access to information is not the same as producing news and commentary. It's a service or a tool provided to allow journalists to build narratives, which is part of a broader strategy of using the media to advance their cause.)
Directly reaching an audience
I struggled to think of how to sift out a phenomenon Mark Bowden took on in The Atlantic last fall: the rise of opposition research disguised as journalism. Oppo-research has been around forever; campaigns leak dirt on the other side to reporters hungry for a quick, easy scoop every cycle. But as Bowden points out in the instance of Sonia Sotomayor, within hours of the announcement of her nomination, videos of her "wise Latina" comment were all over TV news and the Internet. Opposition research wasn't just behind the story: It was the story. However, the Judicial Confirmation Network doesn't reach an audience on its own. They function to fuel news organizations and influence coverage; they aren't a news organization themselves.
I'd distinguish nonprofits like ProPublica and Center for Public Integrity from nonprofits with no direct audience. Both of these groups have established partnerships with other media to reach an audience. A public content agreement is different than leaking a salacious tidbit. And of course having a website with a loyal readership counts, too.
Putting your money where the journalism is
I borrowed this third question from my old boss and publisher of the Independent, David Bennahum. Our efforts to get Senate press credentials were denied because of our funding model of foundation grants and individual donations. Bennahum came up with the interesting idea that perhaps the gallery could look at how an organization's money is spent, rather than how it is raised. If you're an advocacy group with a magazine, your tax records will demonstrate that the bulk of your money is going to things other than reporter salaries or other news costs. If you're a nonprofit dedicated to news, your spending will reflect that.
There are plenty of other questions to ask in thinking about a nonprofits legitimacy, but I think these get the conversation started. What do you think?

A Dying Boy's Special Bond with a Rescue Dog
Feb 8, 2012-- Every moment is extra precious for 4-yr-old Lucas Hembree. Suffering from Sanfilippo syndrome, he isn't expected to live past 15. As the disease started to take a toll on Lucas' joints, his father Chester looked into getting a service dog to keep Lucas steady when he walked. A combination of prayer and persistence led Chester to Juno. "I had the feeling in my gut that I had to go see this dog," said Chester. But Juno herself was in bad shape: "She was emaciated, and was days away from being euthanized," said Chester. Right away, there was something instinctive about the relationship between Lucas and Juno. One day, Chester noticed Juno circling Lucas while he was in his wheelchair. "She was whining and nudging him with her nose," Chester says. "I checked his oxygen levels and they were very low." After giving him oxygen, Lucas returned to normal and Juno greeted him with licks and affection. The full, heart-melting story: (36325 reads)

I did as well
Subscribed. I want to hear more about how these turned out.
So who has actually drank their brews with BRY-97 yet? I just stumbled on this yeast on Farmhouse Brewing and am a big fan of dry yeasts but lag times, etc, etc aren't what really count... it's the finished BEER!
Tasted my sample of American Amber ale.
Hit 1.013 FG (sample still had some co2 in solution, so it could be lower)
Tasted like a clean ferment, and slightly dry, and with .5lb or so or brown sugar in the recipe, it should be a drier amber ale. Should get kegged within a week or so and put on tap 2 days after that.
At this point early in the tasting/beer process, I can't see why I'd buy this over us05. I'm still reserving final judgment until after this beer is kegged and carbed.
I also rehydrated, I haven't tasted the brew yet, but after 2 weeks it's down to 1.010 from 1.070. I'm going to use this again in a session IPA and pitch it dry to see how it goes.
I've got a pack going in my Pliny the Elder clone. I rehydrated and, contrary to Lallemand's instructions, aerated the wort. I experienced the 48 hour lag as well. I saw slight signs of activity at about 40 hours, but thought I'd help the little guys out a bit more and rehydrated again at that point. At 48 hours I saw vigorous activity. I'm 5 days in since I pitched the yeast and it's still chugging away. I was surprised at how dark the slurry was when I rehydrated it compared to the pack of Nottingham I rehydrated the day prior.
I did the Enkidu Winter Ale from AHS with the BRY-97, double pitched and oxygenated with 20 second burst w/ 2 micron stone and it was krauesening like a madman after 24hrs, good activity before that. Almost had some blow off, not using blow off tube, but had some debris in my air lock. The yeast was rehydrated as well. This was Friday so results won't be in for awhile heh.
Update- it's still pushing out c02 every minute or so.

College News
Ikpeze Publishes in Education Journal
Dr. Chinwe Ikpeze, Assistant Professor in the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education, recently published an article in the Journal of Urban Learning, Teaching and Research.
The article was entitled "Increasing Urban Students' Engagement with School: Toward the Expeditionary Learning Model." The article documented the findings of a case study of an expeditionary learning school in Rochester. Ikpeze collected data from student survey, interviews, field notes, classroom observation, and other school activities. The study revealed that expeditionary learning was successful in this particular school because of the school culture, structure, teachers' commitment, and community engagement. This implies that urban school reform hinges on choosing the right school reform model, committed teachers and an engaging curriculum.
The Journal of Urban Learning, Teaching and Research is a publication of the American Education Research Association's Special Interest Group Urban Learning, Teaching, and Research which promotes collaborative development and dissemination of its members' achievements in research and professional practice in urban learning and teaching.

In new widespread peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, peers are exposed to great risk due to frequent trading with unfamiliar peers. Therefore, trust and reputation mechanisms become important issues. For computational efficiency, this paper focuses on localized information trust/reputation mechanisms. Previous studies have not paid much attention to the overall distribution of peer interactions. Based on the scale-free feature of real-world networks, we introduce a power-law distribution of the number of neighbors in P2P trust and reputation systems. To rigorously distinguish the effects of the overall considerations introduced herein, we compare the model proposed in this paper with models in previous studies under the same set of parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed model can discern a small difference between real quality of service (QoS) and other peers' feedback while distinguishing the malicious peers, even when the exaggeration coefficient is high. When one or a group of peers change their QoS, the model exhibits a quick reaction to this change. This response is demonstrated by a rapid decrease in reliability when the QoS change is downward and a slow increase when the change is upward. A slow reaction to the upward QoS change may exclude those peers who frequently change their QoS and encourage consistent reliable service providers.

Leaker tried to join US special forces
The young contractor behind leaks exposing America's surveillance programs tried but failed to join the US Army's elite special forces in 2004, officials said Monday.
Edward Snowden, 29, has revealed himself as the source for sensational revelations in The Guardian and The Washington Post on how US spy agencies trawl through phone records and Internet traffic looking for possible terror threats.
Physical Security (Hardware, Software and Services) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, ...
The government contractor served as a private first class in the US Army at Fort Benning, Georgia, said Colonel David Patterson, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon.
"He attempted to qualify to become a Special Forces soldier but did not complete the requisite training and was administratively discharged from the Army," he added in a statement.
US Army spokesman George Wright said Snowden enlisted on May 7, 2004 and was discharged on September 28, 2004. He did not receive any awards during his service.
Snowden told The Guardian his military career ended after he broke both his legs in a "training accident."
A recruit seeking to be selected for US Special Operations Forces would first have to go through a 10-week basic combat training course, like all infantry, then a three-week jump school.
After that, the recruit would go through a 19-day screening "to determine if he has the potential to be a Special Forces soldier," Wright said.
It was unclear how far Snowden had progressed when he was discharged, officials said.
Snowden told The Guardian he joined the military to fight in the Iraq war.
"I felt like I had an obligation as a human being to help free people from oppression," he said.
But, he said, "most of the people training us seemed pumped up about killing Arabs, not helping anyone."
Snowden later got a job as a security guard for the National Security Agency, which oversees eavesdropping and code-breaking, before later working as an IT expert doing contract work for the NSA.
