Surely Some Flora Out There Can Fuel My Car
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
William Frey holds up a beaker of brown slush, plucked from the clutch of an automated carousel swirling dozens of glass containers. The liquid, a mix of ground corn stocks and a microscopic organism named the Q-Microbe, may just be the fuel of the future, Frey says.
"We're on the right path. This works," says Frey, president of Qteros, a company outside Boston that is reaping ethanol in their labs from colonies of a single-celled bacteria found in the dirt beside a Massachusetts reservoir. "If money were no problem, we could build plants today."
Qteros is part of a rush to develop what one expert calls "the holy grail" of energy, a biological-based fuel that can replace petroleum. The potential reward is huge: saving the world from catastrophic climate change, powering our society with abundant new energy, and ending a global economic imbalance now tilted toward nations that happen to sit atop oil reserves.
President Obama is betting that reward can be had. He has announced an effort to promote biofuels, pledging $786.5 million dollars of stimulus money to research and development. Biofuels will be "an integral part of this new 21st-century American economy," proclaimed Obama's agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack, in presenting the plan May 5.
The good news is that science has the answers; researchers at Qteros and dozens of other labs have succeeded in a variety of ways to make fuel from plants and organisms. The bad news is that all face daunting challenges to producing fuel in the volume we need at a price we can afford. And, as with corn ethanol, there are certain to be unforeseen consequences of ramping up to a large scale.
Corn-based ethanol succeeded quickly on an industrial scale because most of the elements were in place: vast cornfields, an infrastructure for moving corn to processors, and an age-old fermentation science used by moonshiners. The new generations of biofuels do not have all those advantages.
The search for new strategies generally falls in two camps: ways to use organic stuff other than corn to make ethanol, and ways to manipulate organisms to produce a different fuel identical to gasoline or diesel.
The search for a better ethanol — "cellulosic ethanol" — is farthest along, hitching on the experience of corn ethanol. Almost any organic matter — from the leftover corn stalks after harvest to garbage to grass to sawdust — has cellulose that can be fermented into ethanol. Researchers are exploring ways to use acid or enzymes to break the cellulose away from the lignin that gives the plant its structure. Cows and sheep do this in their stomachs naturally.
Its promoters say corn-based ethanol is only the flawed first version, and that cellulosic ethanol will end the competition of food with fuel, and spread the organic sources of ethanol over a much larger and diverse landscape.
They envision vast fields of switchgrass, a tall prairie grass, grown without water on vacant land, and harvested for fuel. They note that the lignin plant structure that is left after cellulose and carbohydrates are taken can be burned to help fuel the conversion process, giving the whole operation a much better greenhouse gas advantage than simply fermenting corn.
Congress has written this idea into the law with the same vigor that it embraced corn ethanol. In the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, Congress said that of the 36 billion gallons of biofuel it wants produced by 2022, 15 billion gallons must come from corn-based ethanol and at least 16 billion gallons from cellulosic biofuels.

WASHINGTON -- As Metro's budget continues to expand, so could the financial burden on passengers.
Fares on the Metro system could rise as much as 10 percent for rail and buses, The Washington Examiner's Kytja Weir reports. The transit system is allowed to raise fares every two years, so the increase could take effect as early as next July.
The price hikes are tied to the Consumer Price Index, which Metro says will call for a 5.7 percent increase in the next budget.
But passing the buck on to rail and bus riders is not the only option, the Examiner reports. The D.C., Maryland and Virginia governments could raise their contributions, or Metro could cut back service.
The agency also could delay new projects that would beef up the escalator maintenance program.
Recommendations on amending the Metro budget from Metro's general manager are expected in January.

China Petroleum & Natural Gas Drilling And Transmission Steel Pipe Market Report, 2012-2015
NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
China Petroleum & Natural Gas Drilling and Transmission Steel Pipe Market Report, 2012-2015
http://www.reportlinker.com/p01081131/ China-Petroleum--Natural-Gas-Drilling-and-Transmission-Steel-Pipe-Market-Report-2012-2015.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy
Due to uncertainties including sluggish global economic recovery and volatile geopolitical environment in Middle East and North Africa since 2011, the global crude oil prices have long been lingering at as high as USD110/barrel, fueling the strong surge in the oil & gas exploration expenditure worldwide. Consequently, the demand for steel tube products such as oil well pipes and oil & gas transmission pipes has been greatly boosted.In China petroleum & natural gas transmission market, "West-to-East natural gas transmission" project and offshore petroleum and natural gas resources exploitation during the 12th Five-year Planning period are expected to lead the tide of oil & gas pipeline construction. In China, the total length of oil & gas pipeline network will hit 150,000 km as of 2015, a sharp increase compared with the 82,000 km in 2011. During 2012-2015, a total of seven oil & gas transmission trunk networks and ten regional supporting pipe networks are scheduled to start construction in China, expecting to generate the demand for 11.38 million tons of SSAW and LSAW. At present, SSAW and LSAW for petroleum & natural gas transmission in China witness high market concentrate rate, with the market share dominating by nine enterprises including Shandong Shengli Steel Pipe, Baoji Petroleum Steel Pipe and Panyu Chu Kong Steel Pipe and five affiliated companies under CNPC and Sinopec. Oil Well Pipe Market Due to China's robust demand for petroleum and natural gas in recent years, three leading petroleum tycoons - CNPC, CNOOC, and Sinopec - have increased their investment in petroleum exploitation. In 2012, CNPC and Sinopec planned to input RMB251.1 billion in exploitation and development, up 14% compared with that in 2011. As such, CNOOC spent more than RMB58 billion to intensify exploitation and development, with the respective investment in exploitation, development and production accounting for 17%, 68% and 14%. Driven by this, the oil well pipe market demand of China is expected to hit 4.7 million tons in 2015. Oil Well Pipe Manufactures In 2012, the annual capacity of oil well pipe of China realized 10.50 million tons. However, most oil well pipe enterprises can only produce API products. As a result, low-and medium-end products saw excess capacity, while some high-end products are short of supply and needed to import from other countries. Thus far, the supply pattern in China oil well pipe market has been relatively stable, with more than 80% market share being dominated by leading producers such as BaoSteel, Jiangsu Changbao Steel Tube, WSP Holdings Limited, Tianda Oil Pipe, and Valine Steel. 1.

Last night's episode of Storm Chasers, titled "Dedication," revealed that meteorologist Matt Hughes had passed away, but his death was unrelated to his work with the Discovery Channel show. The 30-year-old husband and father of two suffered a fatal injury in his home and died on May 26, according to CBS News, and a coworker of Hughes from KAKE-10 News in Wichita blogged that his friend had been suffering from depression and had previously attempted to commit suicide.
Matt Hughes' death unrelated to 'Storm Chasers'
Karate Pants
Someone from the show has already publicly state that his death was a suicide. Very sad, he leaves behind a young family. I don't know why that wasn't reported here.
Karate Pants
And it's been updated. Thanks, Jeff or whoever.
- Karate Pants
I don't watch this show, but I'm surprised this wasn't known until now. It happened back in May. Was it kept quiet?
Yeah, I had heard that he committed suicide somewhere else too.
My wife and I were shocked to see this statement at the end of the episode. Sad to hear it, especially on the back of the incredible moment the episode ended with.
i hope he enjoys his eternity in hell.
i feel bad for his family however.
Your statement is very bold and inappropriate. People who suffer from mental illnesses have the inability to always think clearly/positvely about life/family/themselves. For you to speak of suicide in such a way is offensive to me, and I'm sure other people as well. Although you are free to think what you wish about certain things, some of those thoughts are better left in your mind instead of shared with others. Especially when you don't know who you are hurting in the process of doing so.
My heart goes out to the family of Matt Hughes. May you find comfort and peace in all of the good memories shared with Matt throughout the years.
I agree with you. I suffer from depression and once tried to kill my self. But I got help and a new husband. Even though I stay home from a disability, I am on medication. Chase, you should keep those kind of thoughts to yourself, it could hurt someone else.
Amy, you are so right. Some things are better kept quiet instead of hurting others…the children, so sad.
To the guy who said, must be "a Christian", not ALL Christians believe like that. It's between God and Matt. There are other religions that believe all suicides go to hell.Not just "Christians". Never say "you wouldn't do it!!", Mental illness, depression, and other things can push people over the edge, done out of despiration. to not have to feel the pain that won't go away.You could be near that edge someday….hope u don't fall over.
i agree, and i don't believe god would send someone to hell when they suffer from this kind of illness.God bless his family. I watch the show, so i will miss him
- Victoria
Do you really hope he enjoys his eternity in hell? If not, then that was a cruel thing to say.
Chase, I have no doubt you tout yourself as a "Christian." If heaven is reserved for cruel hypocrites such as yourself, I'll take the alternative. Go screw yourself, Chase.
I am a Christian. God would NEVER say something so cruel. Jesus no doubt has his arms wrapped around Matt and his family.
I wish people wouldn't say such horrible things in the name of Christianity. It really makes the rest of us (and God) look bad. And hatefulness is exactly the OPPOSITE of what our faith is supposed to be about.
Just because you believe in GOD doesn't mean you are a CHRISTIAN!!
Just because you believe in GOD doesn't mean you are a CHRISTIAN!!
- Seething
and maybe because of your comment you will end up there too. You are heartless and classless.
I agree with Chase. My ancestors have been dodging death for 100,000 years. This planet is for survivors. If you want out, please get off my planet. Or seek out the appropriate help.
Yep, cause it's just that easy isn't it?
Ah ha! Darwin might be on to something, it does appear that the ancestors of Chase and Ebeneezer have made the jump from true primate to the LOWER end of the Homo sapien line… as for me , I took the Creation route, and have learned compassion. May God bless Matt and comfort his family. PS, God says there is still hope for Chase and Ebeneezer.
Did the people that jumped out of the burning world trade center before it collapsed go to hell? Answer is No! I think. Does a soldier who throws himself on a Grenade to save his friends go to hell for killing himself? No! So dont throw out some Kooky religious
generalization! Oh Yeah, Your an A HOLE!
Chase, you are a jerk, and if you consider yourself a Christian, you need to really get into scripture and pray about your stupid attitude. I am very conservative, and, having faced such difficulties as Matt did, I do not think for one second he went to hell for suicide (if that's what really happened). You are one of the reasons so many non-believers hate Christians and turn away from Christ, and you don't even know what you are talking about.
- Amy
thomas lewis
Matt,there is a help out there,what about your kids and wife.So sad
I agree with Amy. Unless, you have suffered from depression on mental illness or seen a loved one consumed by it, you have know idea. There is no rational thoughts and sometimes help and medicine cannot solve the dilemnas in your life.
When idiots such as Chase write comments you should just ignore them. They only want to get a rise out of people. If they see they're not getting people all worked up then they'll go away. And for those who seriously believe in a 'hell'…lol. Pssst….the tooth fairy isn't real either.
To you so called Christians, what would God say to you for that statement? He promised to give us a second chance, Matt Hughes has every chance to be in heaven as you do. Judge that ye be not judged.
What so-called Christian are you talking to besides Chase? No one agrees with that troll, so what is the problem?
- Marky
Matt's death was noted on various Stormchaser sites before the episode aired. It made it really tough to watch him have to deal with Sean Casey's d-baggery every episode. I'll skip the next episode, or at least zip past Sean's crocodile tears. My condolences to Matt's family.
I agree Geegee. You know they are going to play up Sean's remorsefulness now that Matt is gone. I'd rather they focus on Tim and (yes, he's freakin' obnoxious) Reed. Then again, I <3 Joel and Chris, so I put up with Reed just for them.
I have had a really hard time watching Sean constantly disagree with Matt, who he hired to do the job of getting them into a tornado for the movie, and time and time again Sean would go against Matt who was always right. Sean is so over-bearing and has cost the team so much, and I was just glad Matt had gotten "his" tornado. It makes e sad to think something must have happened to make that joy go away. I wonder if Sean said something or did something that just took all the fun out of it; he is so capable of that. He must be a nightmare to work for…..
- Samantha
Guys, it's obvious that Chase is trolling. Don't feed him. It's what he's after.
I dont care what anyone else thinks but in my opinion, Matt's suicide was caused by that Sean Casey idiot. I've never seen someone so arrogant/up himself in my life. I remember when Matt went to speak with him in the Diner about trusting him in what he was there for, he just folded himself away and never said what he wanted, as if he was terrified of him. Sean has definately been bulling him, 100%. Thats why some of the other crew in his team left.
I'm sure Matt's suicide was caused by depression and hopelessness, not the actions of any one person.
- Castiella
I think many of you are missing a very important point. Yes, Sean is an arrogant jerk sometimes but his life and the lives of the team utimately are his responsibility. I'd be wary too. Byron left the team to direct a movie. In his blog he stated he was leaving anyway. The intensity of the whole situation is edited by discovery channel to be as dramatic as possible or we wouldn't watch the show. It is so very sad that Matt Hughes did not get the help he needed to save his life.
Oh, and unfortunately this was not Matt's first attempt. He just succeed this time. Sean Casey did not force Matt into it Matt's person demons did. If you don't like the real people on this show then stop watching it. Grow up and quit your whining.
- Ann
Dr Smith
Suicide is nothing to kid about and the douche who added "burn in hell" needs to check his own stuff. Why the venom? I'd bet it comes from abandonment in his life. How about some caring, empathy ot sympathy for his pain. Suicide is one of the top 2 or 3 causes of death in young adults.
RIP Matt, the pain is gone. To his family, don't be afraid to get some help. You're going to go through some very troubling times. Loss, anger, and depression.
Is it really that big of a deal that someone killed themself. People very much les unfortunate them him die everyday and no one cares. I put him in the I don't care he's gone category…..Nothin like throwing everything away. It just shows how weak he was.

Since 1972, "Tuskegee" has become a word that stands for an infamous research study: a 40-year endeavor on the part of the United States Public Health Service (PHS) to not treat African-American men with late stage and presumably non-infectious syphilis, while promising them the aspirins, tonics and diagnostic spinal taps were treatment. The Study turned into a long effort (1932-1972) to track nearly 400 men (the subjects) assumed to have the disease and nearly 200 men (the controls) assumed to be disease free in the countryside surrounding the city of Tuskegee in Macon County, Ala. Despite the publication of a dozen research studies about the Study in medical journals over the years, there was major outrage when a newspaper reporter exposed it to the wider public in July 1972. Senate hearings, a federal investigative commission, a lawsuit and new rules for medical and scientific research followed. Susan M. Reverby's book Examining Tuskegee: The Infamous Syphilis Study and Its Legacy (University of North Carolina Press, 2009) brings the stories of this extraordinary study up to the present day.
In the early 1930s, syphilis — a sexually transmitted disease full of moral stigma and dangerous health effects — was a widespread public health problem in many communities across the country. As part of its effort to reach out to underserved rural black communities in particular, the Rosenwald Foundation and the PHS set up a demonstration project in six southern states to track and treat the disease. When the funds dried up in the Depression, the PHS's idea was to study in one county what happened without treatment to those assumed to no longer be contagious and in the disease's last and latent stage.
For the next 40 years, the PHS came back into Macon County for more tests of the men, tried to follow up those who had left and promised families money for burial in exchange for the right to autopsy those who died. None of the men were injected with syphilis, as it is often rumored. Not all of the men died of the disease. The doctors were supposed to choose only those not contagious, but some of the men did pass on the disease to their wives and sexual partners, and then possibly on to a fetus in utero. Despite the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s (which might have still helped some, but not all, of the men), despite a civil rights movement that engulfed the Tuskegee area, despite debates over the power of physicians, despite questions of morality of this research raised in the 1950s, the Study continued.
Moving away from seeing the men as just hapless victims and the doctors as racist monsters, Reverby captures the experiences of individuals in the Study. She finds examples of how the men might have gotten to treatment, despite the PHS's efforts. She raises questions about the kinds of medicines available for syphilis in its latent stages and what type of medical uncertainty the Study was supposed to explore. She separates out the concepts of supposed biological difference based on "race" and the practices of institutional racism.
In 1997, after much organizing from citizens and politicians, then President Bill Clinton apologized to the six remaining men from the Study and to all African-Americans. Nearly 40 years after the Study ended and ten years after the formal apology, "Tuskegee" is still invoked to explain the anger and fears of some black Americans over the betrayals of the federal government, the institutional racism in health care and why medical research has to be reviewed and monitored.
In her book, Reverby traces both what happened during those 40 years, how differing individuals experienced and explained their participation, and how the Study has been remembered and evoked over the decades. She examines the Study's life in history, memory, bioethics, fiction and political argument, exploring why evoking "Tuskegee" may not be a solution to treating racism in medicine and public health.
Reverby is the Marion Butler McLean Professor in the History of Ideas and Professor of Women's Studies at Wellesley College. She is an historian of American women, medicine and nursing. A former health policy analyst and women's health activist, Reverby is the editor of numerous volumes on women's history, the history of medicine and the history of nursing.

Pesticides are agents used to control, repel or kill pests. Pests are nuisance organisms that cause harm to humans or other animals, destroy crops and compete for food or space. Pesticides are categorized according to the pest that they are designed to control. Herbicides are used to control plants; insecticides kills insects; and fungicides control molds and fungi.
Health hazards associated with pesticide use
Why is pesticide testing so important? According to the EPA, there are around 10,000-20,000 physician-reported poisonings of agricultural workers annually in the US. The health effects of pesticide exposure on humans depends on the type and length of exposure. One class of pesticides known as organophosphates is widely used in the agricultural setting. Acute exposure produces symptoms including nausea, dizziness, vomiting, abdominal pain, skin and eye problems. Acute or chronic pesticide exposure is associated with respiratory, neurological, dermatologic and reproductive symptoms. It also may cause depression, memory disorders and carcinogenic effects.
Regulatory issues
The EPA is responsible for the regulation of pesticides in agriculture through the Worker Protection Standard (WPS). Together with OSHA regulations, WPS works to ensure that agricultural workers, the general public, and the environment are protected against pesticide exposure. A link to WPS compliance information is posted under our "Business Owner Briefing." The WPS outlines the responsibilities of agricultural employers to ensure that:

Simon Whiteley of Strathclyde's Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering worked with colleagues at Leeds University to investigate the techniques bats use to detect insect prey and predators.
The team used a wireless microphone sensor mounted on a tiny backpack to help listen to the sounds adult Egyptian fruit bats make while flying. The bats 'see' by rapidly clicking their tongues, and then using the echoes to decipher the shape of their surroundings in great detail - a process known as echolocation.
The recordings revealed the complexity of the sounds some bats emit, with each 'click' lasting only a quarter of a millisecond.
The team hopes the study will enable them to use similar techniques in a variety of engineering applications. Mr Whiteley, the study's lead author, said: "We aim to understand the echolocation process that bats have evolved over millennia, and employ similar signals and techniques in engineering systems. We are currently looking to apply these methods to positioning of robotic vehicles, which are used for structural testing. This will provide enhanced information on the robots' locations, and hence the location of any structural flaws they may detect."
The research was conducted as part of a larger program of research known as BIAS (Biologically Inspired Acoustic Systems) that included the Universities of Southampton and Leeds. The team believes the techniques could have a wide range of potential applications, including improving the location-finding abilities of people with hearing aids or cochlear implants, or even making medical ultrasound systems more sensitive and able to pick out different tissue types under the skin.
The research was published this week in the Institute of Physics Publishing's Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, which is available at http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-3190/5/2/026001

Sevier County (WVLT) -- Harleys, tattoos, frayed leather and God. It may sound as if it's an unlikely combination, but for many East Tennessee bikers, it's only natural.
On Sunday, bikers from all over the region set their kick stands for the 9th Annual Smoky Mountain Blessing of the Bikes.
Volunteer TV's Mike McCarthy tells us how the blessing inspired one biker to give up his troubled ways.
Bradley Shupe's had it tough.
"Drugs, alcohol, just making the wrong decisions, Shupe said.
It was his bike that helped him find a way out.
"Since I turned my life over to the Lord, things are better now," Shupe said.
Bradley found the Lord at last year's Blessing of the Bikes. Today, just a year later, he was baptized in Douglas Lake, to the cheers of his fellow bikers.
"The water was cold, but the sun came out and it was great," Shupe said.
Nearly 100 bikers from East Tennessee and Virginia revved up their engines for this year's faithful gathering at the Douglas Dam overlook
"It's to pray for every-ones safety," said Pastor Douglas Mills about the event, "It's the beginning of the new riding season."
Pastor Douglas Mills led the bikers in outdoor worship and their bikes make it clear, they are buddies to Jesus.
"This group of people and a lot of people on motorcycles you'll find are the most giving and the most caring," said Jim White who is a member of the Shiloh Riders, "they'll do anything in the world for you."
And they're all here for one thing.
"Fellowship," White said, "Christian fellowship."
Bike by bike, each rider gets a blessing.
"May the road always be smooth," said Pastor Ty Harrison of the United Methodist Church during the blessing. "May the wind always be at your back. May the sun always shine on your face. May the rain fall still on your fields. Until we meet again, may the Lord hold you and his machine in the palm of his hands."
All the bikers today got a special copy of the New Testament titled "Hope for the Highway". They also got a sticker showing they were blessed.
For Shupe, it's strength to keep going.
"I feel blessed," he said.
Many of the bikers rode from Hillsville, near Virginia Tech. Before the blessing, they marked a moment of silence for the 33 students and faculty who died in last month's shooting.

I wish there was an "upvote" button. These are so sweet!
I love that I can't wait for her to wake up in the morning. I'm always checking on her to see if her little eyes are open yet because I'm being deprived of cuddles.
I love feeling her sweet little breaths on my neck when she falls asleep in my arms.
And even though we're losing a lot of sleep at night because of it, I love hearing her "talking" in her sleep. She's such a noisy baby! Lol. Always stretching and moaning and groaning in her sleep.
Ummmm everything? LOL I love the newborn stage.
Skin-to-skin snuggle time, the cute facial expressions he makes, when he scrunches up on my shoulder, the little wheezy humming noise he makes when he sleeps, his pudgy hands, his beautiful eyes. Watching my H snuggle him. Nursing. after nursing a toddler, I had forgotten how wonderful nursing a newborn is.
Oh yeah, the faces she makes in her sleep are absolutely adorable. I also love how she's most comfortable curled up in a ball on my chest to sleep. DD1 is really not into cuddles, so I'm trying to enjoy this phase while it lasts!
And DD1 is really cute, too. She's constantly bringing over a bottle or a pacifier and offering it to DD2 or suggesting we change her diaper or give her something to eat (like spaghetti ;-)). When DD2 is asleep, we have to constantly remind DD1 to stay away from her sister and stop touching her!!
Justinlove:Watching DD1 grow into being a big sister. She has transformed over the past week and it is amazing to watch.
This. DS1 is seriously the BEST big brother any mom could ask for. He is the sweetest, smartest, most protective little man ever! I had worries he would have jealousy issues being that he's been my one and only for 5 years, but he loves his brother - poopy diapers and crying and all. I didn't think I could love him any more than I already did but brining DS2 home - I think my heart about burst!!
I feel like every day I find a new best thing, but lately it's been my little girl's post-nursing milk coma face. I know at this point it's almost certainly just gas, but she passes out cold with this doofy grin on her face:
It makes me feel good that I can make her so content.

Beam Reports Second Quarter Results
Beam Inc. (NYSE: BEAM), a leading global premium spirits company, today reported strong results for the second quarter of 2012 and increased its earnings target range for the full year.
Net sales increased 4% and were up 5% on a comparable basis despite a challenging comparison to results in the year-ago quarter. Strong growth in North America and demand for the company's Bourbon brands and innovations across categories helped drive the sales increase.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.63, up 58% on a reported basis (GAAP). Excluding charges/gains, diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.58, up 16%, benefiting from volume growth, targeted price increases, and below-the-line items such as lower interest expense.
For the first half of 2012, net sales increased 8% on a comparable basis, with one-third of the increase driven by sales of new product innovations. On a reported basis, net sales grew 3% reflecting the adverse impact on comparisons of the initial sale of inventory in the first quarter of 2011 for the start-up of the company's Australia distribution agreement. Diluted EPS before charges/gains from continuing operations is up 23% year to date, and is up 42% on a reported basis.Growth Strategy Delivering Results Ahead of Expectations "Beam continued its momentum with quarterly results that exceeded our expectations, even as we lapped a very strong year-ago quarter that was boosted by our 2011 new product launches," said Matt Shattock, president and chief executive officer of Beam. "Our strong top-line results were driven by our Power Brands and Rising Stars – led by Jim Beam, Maker's Mark and Skinnygirl – and record quarterly sales from new products that improved our product mix. Sales in North America were particularly strong, while the top line in our EMEA and APSA regions in the quarter was adversely impacted by the timing of sales. Beam's profits grew faster than sales, and earnings per share grew at a solid double-digit rate.

The Breakfast Salad
On July 5th of 2011, I debuted my recipe developing, food blogging, photographing self with a dish that I'm still proud of.
I'm talking about the Breakfast Salad, y'all!
While my ingredient sourcing, photography, kitchen skills, and knowledge of nutrition science have all evolved over time, good food is still good food.
You guys, this …is GOOD food.
While the flavors are still incredible, this little life-changing dish was due for a makeover.
My new and improved Breakfast Salad now includes hand-rolled breakfast sausage meatballs! These are opposed to those microwavable turkey sausage links that, years ago, I mistakenly took for a health food …we can discuss further if you have questions.
So what else is in it?? So glad you asked! I love gushing about food. It's got crisp, fresh little baby tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs {how easy are those?}, purple onion, fresh avocado, cilantro, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and lemon juice. That's it, baby!
Sorry I called you baby.
The avocado, egg yolks, lemon, salt, and pepper all melt together to form a creamy "oh my goodness that's good" comment-evoking dressing that you'll just love.
It's a great dish to make and enjoy fresh for a large family gathering or for quick breakfast leftovers during the week.
Let's get cooking!
I opted for Jimmy Dean's All Natural Breakfast Sausage for the meat. While there are healthier choices out there {it's really simple to make your own breakfast sausage from fresh ground pork!}, I'm still a sucker for this stuff.
If you're not a sausage lover, this salad also works well with bacon!!
Cut about a pound of the chilled sausage into discs and then into quarters.
Roll each quarter into a meatball.
Austin got me a new pan for Christmas!! It's taken me a few weeks to get my stainless steal cooking sea legs but I think I've got it now.
Pop those little meatball beauties into the HOT pan and toss around.
Keep cooking until they're nicely brown on all sides and cooked all the way through.
Cut about 3 cups of baby tomatoes in half and place in a large mixing bowl.
Austin always gawks at my weekly grocery loot when I unpack the 3 dozen eggs …which is usually, almost enough. I like eggs! I eat 'em for breakfast, snacks, in baked goods, to crack over burgers, etcetera after delicious etcetera.
This is my weekly hard-boiled egg bowl. It makes me happy.
Start crackin'! Note that older eggs are easier to peel.
Clearly, I did not let my eggs "age" quite long enough before their Fed & Fit blog appearance.
Who cares what they look like! We're going to cut them up anyways!
Chop about 9 eggs in half {this recipe makes enough to feed ~4 people}.
Cut those halves, in half.
Then cut THOSE halves in half!
Toss all those little hard-boiled egg triangles over the tomatoes in that big mixing bowl.
Grab yo-self a purple onion.
Chop up about half of it …which equals about ¼ cup.
Next, avocados …aka, nature's mayo.
Dice up two whole avocados and toss them in the bowl.
Your meatballs should be finished by now!
Throw those in the bowl too.
Because I give a lot of thought to color and varying flavors in food, I like to add in something green and leafy. It's a salad, after all!
This time I went for a big bunch of fresh cilantro. Italian parsley also works really well in this dish! Plus, if you really want to peek inside my recipe developing brain, I want the minerals found in fresh herbs {like cilantro and parsley} to be a part of this dish so that it gets even closer to being a balanced, nutrient-dense dish.
Add ½ tsp of kosher salt – increase according to taste.
Then add ¼ tsp of cracked black pepper.
Lemon time! You'll need two medium-sized and juicy lemons.
Squeeze their juice over the other ingredients.
Just a few stirs and this random bowl of ingredients will transform into the world-famous breakfast salad!
Isn't it pretty?
I love this dish.
Spoon it up, make some friends, and eat with a fork.
The Breakfast Salad
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage or bacon
- 9 eggs, hard-boiled
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup purple onion, chopped

- 1/2 - 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 lemons, juiced
- Roll the sausage into 1-1/2" meatballs. Over high heat, cook and stir until brown on all sides and cooked through. Set aside to drain and cool.
- Peel the eggs and cut each into 8 pieces.
- Combine the eggs, tomatoes, onion, avocado, meatballs, cilantro, salt, pepper, and lemon juice into a large mixing bowl.
- Stir until the egg yolks and avocado become a little creamy.
- Spoon into a bowl and enjoy!
- Will keep covered for 3 days in the refrigerator.

oh my gosh I'm so sick of trying to come up with paleo breakfast ideas. definitely doing this next week.
I hear you, girl! Hope you love this dish. It's one of my biggest sanity and time-savers.
I've been craving avocados lately and saw this on Pinterest. I made it last night and I think I could eat it all of the time. I know it's "Breakfast Salad" but Holy Yum, Batman! There are so many flavors and textures that compliment each other so nicely, it's fantastic.
Moral of the story- I love it. Thanks!
Haha I'm so glad you like it, Jessica!! I eat it for dinner too
Totally AMAZING concoction right here… After I mixed up my first batch, I had a hard time closing the lid and putting it away. just wanted to keep "tasting it"! thanks for sharing
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it, Steph! It's my pleasure
Yum!! This is my all time favorite recipe from your site. Well, maybe the meatloaf or the blueberry scones would round out my tie for first…..Anyway – wow! This is sooooo good. I made it last night and even with my less than speedy kitchen skills the salad was ready to add the sausage just in time. Thank you for this great recipe!
Awesome!! I'm glad you liked it, Sunshine
I made this for dinner for a date! She loved it, thanks for helping me get lucky
Haha anytime, Lenny. Anytime.
This looks amazing! How does it hold up for leftovers? Or do you make it fresh each time? Can't wait to try it!
This sounds YUMMY! I have a question, though. Although I LOVE avocados, I appear to have developed an allergy to them recently. =( Do you have any suggestions of a comparable alternative to the avocado?
Good question, Loralee! You could add more tomatoes (for volume) and maybe a couple tablespoons of Paleo-friendly mayo for creaminess (if you have it on hand). I hope that helps some.
How does this hold up for leftovers? Should I omit the avocados, add a little mayo and then throw in the avocados the morning off if I wanna prep it? Or does the lemon juice help the avocados from going brown? Thanks!
Great question, Thomas! The avocados (when mixed with that lemon juice you mentioned) do hold up pretty well. You may notice some browning, but not much. If the thought of a little browning throws you off, I recommend adding the avocados the morning of. Hope that helps!
Hey, two things
I noticed you had problems with your eggs. My method takes longer but results in a perfectly peel-able shell. STEAM THEM!!! I steam them for 30 minutes and its a perfectly cooked egg and no problems peeling the shell.
How did you get your stainless sea legs? I have so much trouble cooking on mine – need to use tons of oil and its still pretty sticky. Any tips would be great!
Hi Ali! Brilliant idea about steaming the eggs. I'll give that a try! As for getting my stainless sea legs, it took a little time and practice. I've found that the pan has to be HOT before you add oil/meat. For cooking the meat, it will "give" when it's ready to turn …if that makes any sense. They won't budge before they're cooked on that side. Hope that helps!
Yesss!! Vindication! Meatballs are one of my favorite things in the world and if you make them with grass-fed meat and slam them with some kind of vegetable (like you so dutifully suggested here), they are also arguably one of the healthiest ways to start your day!
Thank you for the all the lovely recipes and inspiration : )
Here here!! So glad you like this dish, Maria

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI says a team of agents arrived in Benghazi on Wednesday to investigate last month's deadly attack on the U.S. consulate and has already left the city.
FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright says the FBI agents were there just one day. She would not say where the team is headed.
Law enforcement officials had said that the FBI had been staying away from the Libyan city for security reasons.
The FBI was investigating a terror attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, a State Department computer expert and two former U.S. Navy Seals at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11.

Give your notebook a 2GB RAM boost for $25 shipped (after rebate)
Buy.com has a pair of 1GB notebook memory modules for $24.99 shipped after a $20 mail-in rebate. This is Crucial RAM, so it's good stuff.
Windows Vista eats RAM for breakfast. If your notebook has only 1GB, check out Buy.com's deal on 2GB of Crucial PC2-5300 667MHz memory: $24.99 shipped after a $20 mail-in rebate.
This sale consists of a pair of 1GB modules, so you'll probably have to remove your notebook's existing RAM to make room. (Needless to say, you should then head straight to eBay and unload them). Check the manual to make sure the system supports this memory speed and configuration. It's pretty standard, though, so you should be fine. The rebate deal expires Feb. 24.

Uncertainly, he looked around, trying to discern what had made him so suddenly wary. But the terrace was quiet, with only the tinkling of the fountain to interrupt the peaceful…
"There are no people," he realized. Though two major side streets intersected with the stair-road here, and a number of prosperous looking shops faced the square, there was not a single person in sight – not even a peddler, or a beggar, or a distant passerby. No one.
Calette frowned, looking more confused than worried. Impatient, she pulled on his arm again, but he brushed off her hold and reached for the sword at his hip.
"You should run."
The river was full of the light. With the sun high overhead and the summer sky nearly white with heat, the luminous current was an ever-changing panorama that Calette sought to memorize. It wasn't, she realized, something most people paid attention to. The structure of light. The way it moved upon the water – or through the water. Transparent one moment, opaque the next. She wanted to learn it, to remember it, so she could paint it.
As she stared into the river, she kept her eyes open, not even blinking. To close her eyes even for an instant would separate her from the light she sought to know. So she let herself become mesmerized by its movement, let it fill her awareness until she forgot everything but the light. Adrift in shifting patterns of light and dark, she even forgot about her body in its awkward perch on the bridge. Dissolving, she thought. Soon, she herself would be nothing but light…
"This is amazing," he said finally, dragging his attention from the book. "Sieur Eristan will love it."
Neda shook her head, averting her gaze and hoping he hadn't noticed her staring at him. She didn't want him to get the wrong idea. "It's not for him. It's for you."
For the second time, his eyes widened in surprise. "For me? I couldn't … this is too much. I can't accept such a gift." The words were heavy with regret and longing, which she took as a good sign, even as he pushed the book reluctantly away.
"It's not a gift, Tierce." She pushed the book back across the table to him. "It's a bribe. I want you to do something for me."

been "devastated" by its proposals announced today (Wednesday, 13

its Burgess Hill and Shoreham factories and move the work to new
plants in Korea and the Czech Republic with the loss of 220

those workers who will be made redundant, is now keen to hold talks
with the management to ensure the least impact for the
The announcement was made to employees via a video message which
chose to focus on the future benefits to the company of the
closures and left many reeling from its tactlessness.
Unite regional officer, Janet Henney, said: "This is another
example of the UK skilled manufacturing base being decimated for
the benefit of a profit driven private equity company. The company
haves paid little regard to the UK economy, our skills base and
least of all to those who have to go home today and tell their
families of their loss.
"Another blow has been dealt to British manufacturing with this
announcement. The time for this abuse of British jobs must end
Shaun McHale, senior Unite steward at the Shoreham site,
commented: "This is a devastating announcement especially given the
cooperation that we have given the company over recent years to
retain a UK based skilled workforce."
The announcement follows four years of other announcements by
Edwards in which jobs have been moved to cheaper economies.

Hello All,
I recently purchased a new suzuki carb to replaced the one in my carry that was on it at time of purchase. The original carb has 6 vacuum hoses where as the new one only has 4. It is an auto choke carb. Any help would be appreciated. The suzuki carb number purchased is 13200-85680 (listed as new model).It appears I bought a 3+1 carb instead of the 3+2. Any help with the vacuum lines to make the 3+1 work would be appreciated

"Ladies and gentlemen: your president!"

///sidenote c:
HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIZE OF CLANK???!!! He's now on steroids : D The North Carolina team gave him a growth spurt on the account of he is now a playable character, and if he was left small he would blend in to the background! THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT XD Because if I lost my glasses Clank would look like a dancing toaster However, now Ratchet needs constant acupuncture because of Clank's obsessive urge to bounce onto his back!
And acupuncture is expensive ;_; ..
Well when it comes to BACKS Robots have right of way~!!! 8D
.mmmmaybe not c:
<insert slap-happy expression here>
Thissss .sortof wasn't a sidenote .more of a Oops-I-lied-this-isnt-a-side-note note! C=
"I don't mean to brag but I did modify my crotchetizer with a vibrating function I like to call the happy platypus."
The Gameplay was very different to the normal Ratchet games. Well obviously xD But I really loved the 4 player experience c: There's so much negativity towards Ratchet going Co-Op, but its funny how people can't see that this will most probably be a one time thing xD I'm sure the next Ratchet game will be one player just like the rest of the series 8) It never hurts to throw in a bit of co-op and I say Insomniac did it to almost perfection. Oh sure the camera was a little weird here and there And AI Clank gets annoying when he glitches and fails to save you. But I'm cool with that!
The Concept Art and background design is way wicked (8 The colours are so vivid The levels make me so happy!~ Creaturebox did an AMAzInG job!!! I loved Susie (Scamp) 8DDDD And the other characters had awesome designs C:
The New Controls were easy to get used to! But the lock-on was a little weird xD I just attacked willy-nilly...with THE WARMONGER ~ MY FAVE WEAPON! Not to mention the new RYNOs ;D POW! BANG! BOOM! Oh and the character skins Nurse Shanon and Lava lamp Nefarious c: Yessss <3
The only thing that annoyed me a teensy bit was the interaction between the foursome in the cutscenes....there was alot of interaction between Qwark and Nefarious (NO COMPLAINT THERE 8D) and alot between Ratchet and Clank....but not all 4 of them together. There were some scenes where one character wouldn't talk at all xD Or talk alot less than the others Also the story confused a little bit the first time round c: BUt I did like it in the end 8DDDD

Final preparations are underway for five C-130 aircraft to enter
Boeing's Avionics Modernization Program (AMP). The U.S. Air Force
Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) program is set
to begin in early 2012.
"Once evaluation is complete in late 2012, we will have a fully
tested and proven weapon system that will offer more situational
awareness for aircrews, increasing flight safety during their many
mission types," said Mahesh Reddy, C-130 AMP program director for
Three AMP aircraft have been in scheduled programmed depot
maintenance at Warner Robins Air Logistics Center, Ga., over the
past year. Two of these aircraft received final software and
hardware upgrades at Boeing's Flight Test Operations facility in
Palmdale, bringing them up to production configuration. The first
of these was delivered to Little Rock Air Force Base, AR, on April
23, and the second was delivered on May 16. The third aircraft is
receiving final upgrades at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. It will
be delivered to Little Rock in July.
The first two low-rate initial production C-130 AMP aircraft
were inducted at Warner Robins in August 2010. These aircraft will
be completed in late 2011 and early 2012 and then will join the
three other aircraft in the IOT&E program at Little Rock Air
Force Base.
"The Little Rock 'schoolhouse' for C-130 AMP is now training
flight crews," said Lt. Col. Kevin Tebbutt, Chief of Operations and
Training, 189th Operations Group. "Our crewmembers are currently in
the academic and simulator phase of training. The initial cadre of
AMP instructors is flying the AMP aircraft we have on the ramp to
prepare for the students that will start their flight line training
in June."

text: Classic and Soothing Nursery with a Touch of Vintage « previous return to gallery next » A Project For: Luke Age: 1.5 Location: Chicago Description: When we found out we're having a baby, I began designing the nursery, at least in my head, immediately! I knew that I would be spending a tremendous amount of time in the nursery, so I wanted the space to be soothing and serene. More details are on my blog. Design Inspiration: I had a general idea of what I wanted the nursery to look and feel like. We then came across the radio flyer car and worked around it. Pulling out the wood tones and injecting soft blue/gray shades to give the space a soothing feel. Decorating Style: A mixture of traditional, contemporary and vintage. Project Details: You can find a detailed resources list here. Furniture - Restoration Hardware Rocker - Buy Buy Baby Chandelier - Restoration Hardware Favorite Items: The vintage radio flyer car and the rocking donkey. Advice: Start early! It takes a lot of time to put the space together the way you envision it. Especially if you're working full time like I used to, I would get on it asap.

Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. It was a powerful demon indeed; a single swing of one of its nine tails would raise tsunamis and flatten mountains. It raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of the Leaf Village - the Fourth Hokage - defeated it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a newly-born child. That child's name was Naruto Uzumaki

I dont know where you have manipulated this ... but what a spectacular image
Dramatic departure from you usual work and what a great shot. A sky to die for. Loads of colour tones and mood. Sunlight forcing it's way through just adds the atmosphere. I don't know if you took any more from a similar vantage point but (and this is a really small but) it might have been nice to see the complete curve of the shore line or if that were not possible consider cropping either some or all of the foreground pebble beach. I think the turbulent sea, fantastic sky and the rocks in the mid-ground could carry the image. Regards

One of the key principles of our web transformation strategy is that the content we put online should be accessible to as large an audience as possible.
This is an easy statement to make, but much harder to implement. In this post we want to explain just something of what is involved.
Supporting the disabled
When you think of accessibility most people think of the disabled. Although this isn't all that web accessibility is about, it is a key consideration especially considering the legislation surrounding it and the university's reputation as an inclusive institution.
Unfortunately it is impossible to design a site that meets everybody's needs because different disabilities can have conflicting requirements. However, there is solid best practice we can follow in the form of the WAI guidelines.
In addition to these guidelines, we are also working with an assistive technology advisor who is helping us run usability test sessions and providing quality assurance on the work we are doing.
Supporting different browsers
As well as thinking about the needs of the disabled, we also need to consider that people will be accessing the new website using a range of different browsers.
At the moment our beta site only supports a small number of modern browsers, but we are in the process of changing this. The site will not look identical on all browsers, but users will still be able to access content on most browsers available.
Because of the huge number of browsers out there, we will only test on a subset, but the site should be accessible to even the oldest browser.
But providing browser support is not just about supporting older browsers. It is also about supporting the next generation of browser. This is why we do not endeavor to make the site look the same across all browsers. If we took that approach, our website would never make use of the emerging technologies that creates a better experience for those with modern browsers.
The approach of providing access to information on all browsers, but optimising for more modern ones, is called progressive enhancement. This means that no matter how old your browser you will be able to navigate the site, but the newer the browser the better it should look.
Supporting multiple devices
Not only do we need to consider multiple browsers, we need to think about multiple devices. We are not even just talking about a mobile or tablet. There are literally hundreds of devices with different sized screens and different input methods.
We also have no idea what the future will hold. For example the majority of users might be using the iPhone or iPad right now, but that might not be the case in another year. Even if it is there is no guarantee Apple won't release a new device with a new screen size.
The way we solve this problem is by making the website "responsive". That means it adapts based on the screen real estate available to it. The advantage of this approach is that no matter how devices change over the years, as long as they still have screens the website should adapt accordingly.
Building a site that works this way is no easy challenge and that is what we are working on right now. Each module that makes up the website has to be flexible enough to adapt to a range of available space and this can prove a time consuming business.

The final audience to consider when thinking about accessibility are international students. It goes without saying that these are a massively important audience for any university, and so it is important to ensure the website is as accessible as possible for them.
There are two accessibility concerns that need particular consideration when thinking about international students – bandwidth and language.
While broadband is widespread here in the UK it isn't always abroad, and so it's important to consider download times. Furthermore, some countries make much heavier use of mobile than we do here in the uk. This means we need to make sure the site downloads fast over a cellular connection.
The other issue is the language we use on the website. Although we expect a certain standard of English from international students, university websites are often full with verbose copy, complex sentences and a lot of jargon. If we are keen to attract overseas students we need to work hard at keeping our language simple.
Using simple language also helps users with cognitive disabilities such as dyslexia, and speeds up comprehension for all users.
We will need your help
By now I hope you have realized that ensuring an accessible website is more than the web team can achieve alone. Yes, we can build accessible templates but as soon as content providers add video without captions or images without descriptions things fall apart.
We cannot hope to maintain an accessible website without everybody writing plain English and considering how the images they choose will look on a mobile device.
Accessibility is something we all need to be committed to. That is why a programme of accessibility training will be made available for anybody involved in adding content to the website.
