Port of San Francisco urged to restrict fossil fuels
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is urging the Port of San Francisco and the city's Department of the Environment to develop policies that will bar the transportation and export of hazardous fuel materials in San Francisco.
Supervisors Malia Cohen and Scott Wiener introduced the resolution to prohibit the movement of crude oil, coal, and petroleum coke (petcoke) through San Francisco, citing safety concerns, dangers to the environment, public-health hazards, economic pitfalls, and public opposition. The resolution passed the board unanimously last week.
"San Francisco has always been known as a city at the forefront of environmental change. This resolution barring the handling of polluting, climate-warming fuels proves yet again that it is a city that leads the world in envisioning a better way to live," said Stacey Geis, Earthjustice managing attorney of the California office.

Less is more, more or less: Matt Ridley's strange alchemy
Matt Ridley, the UK author, journalist and member of the House of Lords, recently asserted in a Wall Street Journal article that the "world's resources aren't running out." Well maybe, sorta. If you are into the mental gymnastics of conservative doublethink.
I could not let his piece pass without providing, shall we say, a different and more intellectually honest (I hope) viewpoint.
He asks: "How many times have you heard that we humans are 'using up' the world's resources, 'running out' of oil, 'reaching the limits' of the atmosphere's capacity to cope with pollution or 'approaching the carrying capacity' of the land's ability to support a greater population? The assumption behind all such statements is that there is a fixed amount of stuff—metals, oil, clean air, land—and that we risk exhausting it through our consumption." Read the rest of this entry »
Airbus electric aircraft flies
Recently I wrote about Boeing's all-electric satellite, which might launch later this year. Not to be outdone, apparently, Airbus Group flew the first all-electric aircraft late last month, called the E-Fan.
The E-Fan is an all-electric trainer aircraft made of composite material.
Leaving jet fuel behind means there is slight hitch: at the moment the the plane can fly for about an hour on a single charge. In any case this is a pretty big deal, because the largest aerospace and defense company in Europe and the world's leading commercial aircraft manufacturer is backing it, is planning to build the trainer in series and is also planning to use what it learns to eventually develop a regional passenger model.

Boeing putting something electric in space
All-electric satellite propulsion is getting a boost from Boeing, which says it is "on track" to deliver the world's first all-electric xenon-ion propulsion satellites in late 2014 or early 2015 after meeting key production milestones on its initial 702SP (small platform) satellites.
Boeing announced that it has completed static qualification testing, verification and assembly of the primary structures for 702SP inaugural customers ABS and Eutelsat, meaning the satellites are well on their way to launch. The initial contract for the satellite was signed in 2012 between Boeing and Satmex. Eutelsat acquired Satmex in January 2014.
The four 702SP communications satellites will launch in pairs, and once in orbit, they will be entirely powered and propelled by electricity, rather than relying on rockets. The first two are scheduled for launch aboard a single SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket early next year. An all-electric satellite dispenses with heavy chemical propulsion and uses electric propulsion not only to maintain itself stably in orbit over 15 years, but also to raise the satellite from where it is dropped into orbit by its carrier rocket to its final destination in geostationary orbit.

Seattle firm plans Pacific Coast's first offshore wind farm
The nation's first offshore wind farm on the Pacific Coast cleared a crucial federal hurdle when Seattle's Principle Power received approval to move forward on a commercial lease for the proposed $200 million, 30 Mw project.
Principle Power received the go-ahead last month from a Department of the Interior agency to lease 15 square miles of federal waters 18 miles from Coos Bay, Oregon. If the lease request gets final approval, the WindFloat Pacific project would anchor the first offshore turbines in federal waters on the West Coast. It also would be the first in the nation to use triangular floating platforms instead of single piles driven into the ocean floor. Read the rest of this entry »
Solar heat
Solar is very hot at the moment. A list of cleantech stock picks for 2014 has First Solar (a solar manufacturer) and SolarCity (a solar installer) at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and further down the list are a solar holding company, Renewable Energy Trade Board, and a solar equipment company, Meyer Burger.
There are many reports, including one on another site that I write for on occasion TriplePundit, that the solar market is heading for a "second gold rush" this year; there's little to dispute the fact that solar is definitely an in thing, especially for investors. Read the rest of this entry »

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Now that you've placed all the microphones and experimented with different positions and approaches, it's time have a listen to see what we have. Here is the best way to do a sound check on the drums. For each drum that you're checking have the drummer do a steady slow beat on that drum only at about one hit per second. You don't want it hit too quickly because you want to hear the decay of the sound. Let's start with the kick drum. (music playing) Have the drummer begin with even hits on the kick drum about a second apart, so you can hear the decay.
Check that there are no overload or peak indicators lit. Then raise the level of the kick in the monitors to a moderately loud level. Check that the sound isn't distorting, and there are no crackles or loud mechanical noises from the kick. If there is see if you can isolate that unwanted sound and try to eliminate it. Try changing the mic cable first since that's usually where the problem is. If the drum doesn't sound right, try moving the mic to change the sound before you do anything. Move the mic closer to the beater if you need more definition or move it away if you need more body.
You can also try to aim the mic more at the shell of the drum if you need more body and less of the beater sound. If none of that gets you the sound you want, try a different mic. Sometimes one mic can make for an ideal combination with the particular kick drum, while another just doesn't work. When you're finished, mute or lower the kick drum channel, then move on to the snare. (music playing) Use the same method on each of the other drums and cymbals. (music playing) It doesn't sound right, change the tuning. Add or decrease the muffling.
Change the position of the mic or change the mic. (music playing) And that's how we do a drum sound check. For each drum that you're checking have the drummer do a steady slow beat on that drum only at about one hit per second so you can hear the decay of the sound.
Something doesn't sound right, change the tuning or add or subtract some muffling, then change of position of the mic, and then finally change out the mic. (music playing)

You're one step closer to paradise...
Tucked into Kopiko Plaza, just below Long's, this local favorite for quality Japanese fare goes beyond sushi. Hayama serves traditional Japanese specialties like tempura, unagi, broiled fish, teriyaki, and udon noodles, all made from fresh local ingredients. Sushi is available as well, but only traditional nigiri, slices of raw fish layered with wasabi and rice, and sashimi. Lunch specials are a great deal, and dinner specials provide a three-course meal for two for $40. Despite its strip mall location, Hayama manages to pull off a Zen vibe that matches the quiet and attentive, albeit "island-time," service. Credit cards accepted. Closed Sun.

Greetings FFG Forum Users,
Some of you a long time ago were part of one of my campaigns and it just ended up fizzling away due to many different things. Today I am here to introduce you all to the new campaign that I have titled "Thorns of Indignity". Unlike most campaigns for Rogue Trader we will not be locating our game in the Koronus Expanse or the Calixis Sector. The game will take place in the Broken Chord Territories, a set of Uncharted Territories set at the Galactic West. The region of space is located in the Galactic Halo and has the unique feature of having a one-way Warp Gate.
Our intrepid crew of Explorers will have to go through this gate in order to become the dominant power-bloc in an internal fight to inherit the von-Antioch Dynasty. In accordance with Dynasty Law and the Inheritance clause of the von-Antioch Warrant of Trade, the legitimate scions of the dynasty must prove to the Lord Governor and the Administratum that they are worthy of inheriting the Warrant of Trade. In the case that no scion is deemed worthy of the honor then all assets of the dynasty are turned over to the Imperium of Man.
The crew has 100 standard years to prove that they have what it takes by establishing a foothold in the Uncharted Territories. Once this has been accomplished they most crusade and explore the region and bring it back into the fold. The final phase of the Rite of Inheritance will be a pilgrimage to Holy Terra. Follow us through this adventure as we develop the stories of our crew.

Surgery has not been an option in the past for children with ACL tears because of the possible damage to the growth plate that can cause serious problems later in life.
With this new technology, surgeons can actually see from one point to the other on either side of the knee, and can safely position the tunnels where they will place the new ligament.
John Xerogeanes, MD, chief of the Emory Sports Medicine Center, and colleagues in the laboratory of Allen R. Tannenbaum, PhD, professor in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, have developed 3-D MRI technology that allows surgeons to pre-operatively plan and perform anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery.
ACL tears are one of the most common injuries in children who participate in sports including football, basketball, soccer and gymnastics. Traditional treatment for ACL injuries in kids has been rehabilitation, wearing a brace and staying out of athletics until the child stops growing - usually in the mid-teens - and ACL reconstruction surgery could then safely be performed.
The problem with doing surgery on a young child is that if you damage the growth plate, you can cause a growth disturbance, says Xerogeanes, an associate professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at Emory University School of Medicine.
The ACL is one of the four major ligaments in the knee, somewhat like a rubber band, attached at two points to keep the knee stable. In order to replace the ligament, surgeons create a tunnel in the upper and lower knee bones (femur and tibia), slide the new ACL between those two tunnels and attach it at both ends. (The new ligament is typically taken from either a hamstring tendon or allograft tissue, which is donor material.)
Xerogeanes explains that prior to using the 3-D MRI technology, ACL operationswere conducted with extensive use of X-Rays in the operating room, and left

Virgil H. Simons founded The Prostate Net in 1996 as a result of his own encounter with prostate cancer. When he was diagnosed, there was little to no readily accessible information to help prostate cancer patients and their families make informed treatment decisions.

porcini and friends
the porcini are just pouring in!
another good year for the porcini here. pan-browned butternut squash, fried savoy cabbage, homemade sauerkraut, spiced stewed (foraged) pears, parsnip and onion puree, prune-sherry sauce, pan fried porcini (it was the one in the bottom picture). served with rauchbier.
We used to peel the puffballs & slice into serving size. Dip in egg wash & then seasoned flour. Fry on both sides till golden. they go really well with fried walley!
oh yeah i love puffballs. i prefer the "gem-studded" smaller ones to the giant ones, and agree they are better breaded/egg washed, otherwise they tend to be unimpressive. i made them a few times this year with a sort of tempura batter with garlic powder, and dipped in a garlicky soy saucey sort of thing, really good. the egg coating (as you know!) protects them from just soaking up all the oil, instead they steam inside and the texture is great. yum.
Yeah. Egg wash & breading improves the texture & flavor. We tried just frying them...came out like marshmallow. Breaded & fried is it!
that time of year again. horrible summer here, unless you're fungus. these porcini took me all of 3 minutes to collect, at my best spot
that was my best porcini day ever. the morning haul was 1.3 kg, and in the afternoon i found another 1 kg just across the street from my work. and i left all the little ones (for today's harvest). trying to remember what they charge for fresh porcini at the specialty market, something like 8-10 euros per 100g.....
banner year for boletus. i go on a hunt every three days or so, and in one week have hauled well over 7 kg. giving them out to everyone i know, eating lots, drying the rest. the obvious: risotto, creamy pasta. the less obvious: tempura, croquettes. this is what was left of yesterday's find after i gave half away.


text: I believe there is only one Museum of Funeral Customs in the world. It is located in Springfield, Illinois, near Oak Ridge Cemetery, the site of Abraham Lincoln's tomb. Our web analytics company invited us to visit the museum with their staff. The museum contained exhibits dealing with American funerary and mourning customs and various related collections. Basically, it provides resources to scholars for researching funeral customs, hosts tours and special events.We were amazed to find all kinds of funeral paraphernalia from various cultures and times. Personally, I liked rare books collection on embalming dating as early as the 16th century. We saw at the museum recreated 19th century middle class American home funeral setting, recreated embalming room from Jazz generation of the 1920s. There were exhibits of embalming equipment and instruments, examples of postmortem photography and even the scale models of Lincoln's tomb and funeral train.Naturally, there is humor in everything, even death. We found confirmation of this when we visited museum's gift shop. It did not make much sense to us that this shop was selling plain polo shirts or sweatshirts. But my co-workers and I purchased plenty of hilarious stuff, like milk chocolate coffins, wooden and silver casket key rings, casket-shaped paper weights. One of our guys still wears at work the t-shirt with a morbid sign that says "Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime…"

Driver Pleads Guilty to Possessing $1 Million Worth of Heroin While Traveling Through Maryland
Largest Seizure Ever of Heroin Found in a Traffic Stop by Maryland State Police
Baltimore, Maryland - Jose Gomez, age 42, of Orlando, Florida, pleaded guilty today to possession with intent to distribute heroin in connection with 11.96 kilograms of heroin hidden in a vehicle that Gomez was driving through Maryland, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to the plea agreement, on February 5, 2008 a Maryland State Trooper stopped Gomez for speeding on Interstate 95 in Harford County, Maryland and for following a tractor-trailer too closely. Gomez appeared very nervous and avoided eye contact with the trooper. Gomez stated that he was traveling from Orlando, Florida to Manhattan, New York. A certified canine called to the scene alerted for the presence of drugs and 11.96 kilograms of heroin were discovered in a hidden compartment located in the vehicle. The seized heroin has a street value of over $1 million.
Gomez faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release and a $4 million fine, and a maximum sentence of life in prison. U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. has scheduled sentencing for July 25, 2008 at 11:00 a.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Maryland State Police Proactive Criminal Enforcement (PACE) Team for its investigative work. The PACE Team is a unit of troopers who are specially trained to patrol Maryland highways to identify, interdict and apprehend fugitives, drug smugglers, gun runners and other criminals. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney A. David Copperthite, who is prosecuting the case.

- My Shopping Cart
- Total: $0.00
Chico, Ca, June 4, 2013 – A Main Hobbies has chosen Pro-Line's "X2" Suburbs and Scrubs as the "spec" tires for the IFMAR Pre-Worlds. The 2WD modified front tires are "open" and racers are allowed to run whatever front tires they choose for 2WD. Although these tires and stock foam inserts will be used exclusively for the Pre-Worlds, an official decision from IFMAR regarding the spec tires for the World Championships later in September has not been made. IFMAR will make their official decision based on the three recommendations from A Main Hobbies after the Pre-Worlds, when they've had the opportunity to evaluate all of the information that has been submitted. In an effort to minimize costs, A Main Hobbies decided to choose just one tire for the Pre-Worlds, as opposed to allowing all three tires submitted to IFMAR to be used. Insufficient inventory of the other tires proposed for the IFMAR World Championships was another key factor in deciding to use just one tire and compound for this race. A Main Hobbies wanted to avoid any team or individual having an unfair advantage if they were fortunate to have a tire or compound that was advantageous, but unavailable to everyone else. With just one tire being used at the Pre-Worlds it will simulate the format of the World Championships and allow racers to focus on chassis set-up instead of tire, insert and wheel combinations.
Front 2WD tire is "open" (racer's choice)
Pro-Line Scrubs "X2" 4WD Front Buggy Tires (PRO8214-002) (Spec front 4WD tire)

Online retailer Amazon has launched a service that stores free digital versions of CDs bought via its store. AutoRip, which is only available in the US, will automatically keep a digital copy of eligible CDs in a customer's cloud storage account. Customers will be able to access the music via Amazon's Cloud Player on the web or via tablet and smartphone apps. Amazon has drawn up a catalogue of 50,000 CDs that are eligible for AutoRip. The catalogue has been compiled from those albums that have proved most popular with Amazon customers in the last 15 years. The list includes "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd, "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and "21″ by Adele. Any customer who has bought a CD in the catalogue from Amazon since the firm started trading in 1998 will be eligible to get a free MP3 copy of it. Amazon said it anticipated creating copies of millions of CDs. "When we picked those 50,000 titles we focused on having a substantial majority of our physical CD sales covered," said Steve Boom, head of digital music at Amazon in a statement.

Just finished brewing an American Wheat. I did a partial mash (using a small 3-gallon mash tun; not the bag method) with 2 lbs of pale malt and 2 lbs of wheat malt at 152F for 60 minutes. I normally get 70-75% efficiency, but if I am doing my math correctly, I think I only hit 57% with this mash. I did everything as I normally do, but this is the first time I've used this particular grist bill. Does wheat malt need to be mashed longer or give poorer conversion?
It may have been the sparge (batch or fly?), wheat malt doesn't have a husk so you might have had some channeling.
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
batch - I figured 50% barley would have enough husk material especially with thorough mixing between batches. Perhaps I should have added some rice hulls, eh?
It was probably just protein, I assume you did a single infusion mash? If it is starch the biggest risk is infection (wild microbes love starch), that said plenty of people add flour to their wits to give them a haze. You can pull a sample and add iodine to check for starch if you want.
You know I had this same problem on a wheat bock I was trying to do (all grain) and ended up with the about the same efficiency. I also ground all the grains together and tested for conversion. I'm wondering if the crush is the answer. I'll grind seperatly next time.

From the moment the tinkling piano introduces Electric Guest's single 'This Head I Hold', it is near impossible to stop your feet from cutting the rug and the new video epitomises this completely. It's a genre-blurring mix of danceable indie, soul and atmospheric electro combined perfectly to make a dance floor hit. And with the likes of Danger Mouse behind the production desk who would expect any less
The clip is set at a hilarious dance audition where it's on for young and old. As everyone pulls out all the stops to impress the judges (including the use of ninja daggers as a prop) it's no wonder lead vocalist Asa Taccone gets a touch of stage fright.
'This Head I Hold' is taken from Electric Guest's debut album "Mondo" due out this Friday 27 April. Catch the LA duo when they hit our shore for Splendour In The Grass!
Having just released the first teaser 'Crazy' taken from the band's forthcoming debut LP due out mid-2015, Brisbane's Art of Sleeping announce an east coast tour of the same name.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And the fifth angel sounded , and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. | 1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. |
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. | 2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. |
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. | 3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. |
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. | 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. |
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. | 5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. |
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die , and death shall flee from them. | 6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. |
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. | 7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. |
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. | 8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. |
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. | 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. |
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. | 10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. |
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. | 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon. |
12 One woe is past ; and, behold , there come two woes more hereafter . | 12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come. |

We're loving the fashions in these 1970s-era pictures of students at Brooklyn's Saint Joseph's College, which Flavorpill posted recently.
Many of the styles look pretty similar to the ones ladies are sporting today, like the large black-rimmed glasses, pea coats, button downs, and belted waists. In fact, there are probably awesomely stylish girls dressed like this walking around Brooklyn right now.
There are also quintessentially 70s plaids, vests, flares, and jumpers (most likely made out of wonderful heavy polyester). We're wishing we could locate the thrift store where these ladies inevitably dumped these "outdated" outfits, so we could snap them up for ourselves.
Check out the rest of the pics here

by Dr. Jody Brylinsky, associate provost for institutional effectiveness
The process for developing and refining academic program review and planning is steadily moving forward. The Faculty Senate and Office of Academic Affairs co-sponsored two open faculty forums to provide an overview on the development of procedures as well as recent versions of academic program review and planning documents.
Feedback from participants indicated a need for greater clarity of the role of faculty members in the writing of the self-study, a desire to learn how beta participants managed the self-study process and confirmation of the review process. In addition, the Office of Institutional Research hosted four COGNOS training sessions to help familiarize deans, department chairs/directors and support staff with utilizing data reports for preparing program self-studies.
In addition, the project management team has been working to review the 50 program self-studies prepared by the beta year participants. The team engaged in the review process to gain a greater understanding of how to sharpen template questions, establish meaningful rubric descriptors, and improve the directions provided in the readers guide for academic program review and planning.
The next step will be to use this wealth of knowledge to revisit documents and data sources, make modifications where needed, and continue the process of dialogue with beta participants, faculty, program coordinators and administrators. We will work with the colleges to provide opportunities for faculty members to review and provide feedback on proposed materials.
Nominations will be sought for additional tenured faculty members wishing to serve on the academic program review and planning review committee for 2014-15. This body will be charged with monitoring the implementation of the established academic program review and planning process with monthly meetings beginning in September.
For more information, go to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness program planning Web page at wmich.edu/effectiveness/review. I also am available to meet with units. Contact me at (269) 387-2314 or firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a visit.
The Office of Disability Services for Students is offering room 113 at the Bernhard Center as an overflow testing site during final exam week, April 21 to 25.
The overflow testing site provides space for up to 20 students who require extended testing time accommodations during the week of April 21 and only for the following times:
Monday through Friday at 8 a.m., 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The primary test location for students should be within the department with a test proctor or monitor. The DSS office provides testing accommodation services with a reader/scribe and adaptive technology by appointment during the following office hours:
The DSS office and overflow testing locations are not able to accommodate walk-in testing services. Please work with students to schedule a testing time in advance of exam week. Please plan to deliver all exam materials to the DSS office on the main floor of Woodlawn Place 24 hours in advance of the scheduled exam date. Exams may also be faxed to the DSS office at (269) 387-0633 or sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Instructors should specify the materials students are allowed to use in the testing room. Students will not be permitted to take materials into the testing room that have not been documented by their instructor. Exams will be returned directly to the department unless instructors make prior arrangements with the DSS office.
Instructors interested in volunteering as exam proctors at the overflow testing location in the Bernhard Center should contact Jayne Fraley-Burgett at (269) 387-2120 or email@example.com.
The Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs is hosting a meeting for all non-bargaining unit staff members in academic affairs on Friday, April 25, in the Fetzer Center's Putney Auditorium. To accommodate normal business hours and operations, two meeting times will be available, from 8:15 to 9:15 a.m. and from 9:45-10:45 a.m. Supervisors are encouraged to accommodate staff participation in these sessions.
The purpose of the meetings is to provide updates in academic affairs and answer any questions staff members may have. As a way to thank administrative staff members for their contributions to keeping departments and units running smoothly, beverages and bakery items will be available before each of the sessions.

Plastic-eating fungi. Photo: American Chemical Society.
One of the reasons that plastic remains an "alien" or artificial material to most people is the fact that it avoids the natural process of decay. Not only do most synthetic polymer materials refuse to break down like other materials, but they also leach pervasive pollutants into the environment. Bisphenol A (BPA) is one such controversial substance, and has been classified as an endocrine disruptor—a chemical that can emulate the body's hormonal processes and lead to adverse health effects. BPA is found in common plastics such as polycarbonates and PVC, and refuses to biodegrade in the waste stream.Despite the concerns about BPA, manufacturers still generate almost three million tons of plastic with BPA annually. However, biotechnology researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras have recently developed a method to biodegrade the substance. Using ultraviolet light and three types of fungi, Mukesh Doble and Trishul Artham were able to decompose BPA-containing plastics within 12 months. By comparison, untreated plastic showed negligible signs of degradation in the same period.

Does magic penetration approach negative values of magic resistance when it is higher than magic resistance, i.e. 40 magic pen with 30 magic resistance on target would result in -10 magic resistance therefore amplifying your damage? 2.If question 1 is answered by yes, is negative magic resistance calculated in the same fashion as positive magic penetration, i.e. 31 magic resist =23% reduction, so would -31 magic resist from penetration then amplify your damage by 23%? 3.Lastly if anybody knows the formula to calculate this please post it, thank you.

Armor can reach negative values but it is treated as 0 in damage calculations. I assume it is the same case with magic penetration.
there are 2 things, MR penetration and MR reduction. reduction can take take MR into negative but penetration cannot go below 0. also note that any reductions are applied before penetration's starting with Flat pen or reductions then % based, this makes it very difficult to get someone into negative, but its fairly easy to drop someone to 0. example: you have sorc boots (20 penetration) abysmal scepter(-20 redution) and a void staff (40% penetration) and your oppoent has say 50 MR. first the scepter kicks in dealing -20 leaving them with 30. then the sorc boots kick droping them 10, a void staff then works and takes off 40% in what case is a measly 4 leaving them at 6 MR. if you also had a haunting guise then you would have drope them to 0 and viod staff wouldn't have done anything at all. im pretty sure all this can be found in the mechanics thread in guides and strategy section. hope that helped
Ponies Gonna Pwn
Thanks for all the helpful information, i kinda wish penetration would go into negative values though lol, gangplank lolwut
I do not know what order effects are applied in; someone else may be able to tell you what order Magic Resistance Reduction (effects like Fiddle's aura, Starcall stacks, etc), Magic Penetration (some items/runes), and void staff percent penetration take place in, but it ain't me. I will tell you that, if you have enough reduction to push someone negative, they get extra damage. This doesn't come up much in regular play, since actual magic resistance reduction is not that common; I usually don't see it except in certain cases. Easiest way to see your damage go over normal is to bomb the same set of creeps a few times with Soraka's Starcall; you'll see your damage go over what your base+AP should be giving you, which is a sign that it's working. After that, you could do some experiments. I could probably figure out for myself the application order and a bit about how they interact by going into bot games and playing with it, I just don't feel like it.

Rating: 4.40 out of 5 votes cast
Cute Jacket
This jacket is very cute and goes with so many outfits, however, do order a size larger than normal. I normally wear a 10/12 and ordered this in Medium, but should have ordered a Large. It's tight in the shoulders and bust, and any thing more than a tank top underneath feels bulky.
Debbie S
Falls Church, VA
I am glad I read the reviews before I purchased this jacket (and matching pants) - I have worn a size 10 top and bottom for at least 15 years. Because of the reviews, instead of a Medium, I purchased a Large jacket and I am very glad I did - a Medium would not have buttoned at all for me. One thing to note - this jacket (and matching) pants comes all crushed up in a plastic bag and needs extensive ironing in order to wear it. And, the minute you put it all on, the wrinkling begins again - you would think it was linen with all the wrinkling. So I am assuming every time it is washed, it will need ironing again - if you are one of those "I never iron anything" people, this is not for you. I bought the bright pink and I love the color - just not all the wrinkling.

Love this jacket
I love this jacket, I have some other ones too different colors, but I just got the wine colored one today & I love the color! My husband said the color really looked good on me with my black hair. These jackets are so comfortable & very stylish & because they are light weight you can wear them in the spring & cool summer nights too. I wear them with all kinds of things, & because I have so many different colors I can mix & match them & make lots of different outfits, it's fun! Everyone should own at least one! :)

Great Jacket
This is a great jacket. I bought a jacket very similar to this one many years ago and it is my absolute favorite. This jacket looks great and seems to give you the look of thinning. I purchased a size 10 and it fits perfect, maybe too perfect; I hope it doesn't shrink.
Brighton, CO
Available in Black????
I purchased this jacket at least 10 years ago and it looks as good today as the day I bought it! The quality is amazing!! It has been machine washed many, many times! I would love to have one in black. Is it possible to make it in black denim? I would purchase it in a heartbeat!

Great Fit
Love these jeans.....great fabric for the summer months, and the colors are awesome. There is just enough stretch that gives these jeans a perfect fit without getting that baggy look at the end of the day.

These are great pants
I got these pants in wine, I got the striped sweat and solid long sleeve suede-like ballerina shoes and long sleeve knit top all in wine and I love love it. Its all a beautiful color. The pants fell so well on. I want to get the plum color next. I recommend all these items.

Cute, but...
These shoes are really cute, but the strap that goes around the back slips down constantly. They fit perfectly when I put them on but after a few steps the strap slides to the bottom of my foot.

Mom has a stall in a shop that sells collectibles and antiques. She specializes in Wizard of Oz collectibles, and she's developed a small but loyal following.
Last week, someone came in and wanted to buy 11 (count 'em -- eleven) cookie jars. These jars are pretty spectacular (to say nothing of expensive), and they take up a lot of room in her garage. For a very long time, she's had a lot of money and space tied up in these cookie jars. And here was someone who wanted to take 11 of them off her hands, and for a profit, no less. Wahoo! I got regular updates through the week as this deal unfolded -- he was interested; he came back to look again; and then... YES! he wanted to buy!
Mom asked me to come over on Sunday to help her load the boxes into her CR-V so that she could bring them to the shop. When I arrived at mom's house, she had dug them all out of their storage places, and then her back started hurting. She couldn't lift them into her car by herself. They were light boxes, but they were large and she is small. It took no effort for me to lift them in. Being a foot and a half taller I had leverage she couldn't get. Oh, yeah, and there's that age thing. She has someone at the shop who will unload them for her, package them, and mail them to her customer.
After this 5-minute project she made me tea and we sat and visited for a while. I teased her, "Mom, what are you going to do when I get too old to do this sort of thing for you?" "I guess I'll have to give it up." She hints at this sometimes, and it always makes me sad. She enjoys her business, and I enjoy her enjoyment of it.
As I was leaving, she hugged me and said, "Don't move away, OK?" "No, mom," I said. "I'm here to stay."

Comments: William was my beloved cousin. There are not enough words in the english language to describe the pain I felt upon hearing the news that he was so brutally taken from us. I was pained even more to hear that his killer claimed "self-defense" as his reason for taking his life. I knew my cousin well. There was not a vicious bone in his body. He did not deserve to suffer the way he did the night he died. If his killer had claimed cowardice, hurt pride, or even insanity as his reason for taking my cousin's life, then and only then could I begin to see that it is possible that my pain could subside; These are the only conditions that I could see as being true to why my cousin no longer lives today. But to take him away and lie about his character when he is no longer around to defend himself cuts too deep into my soul. The killer has had his sick satisfaction. It is time he pays the price for this. We want Justice for William. NOW.

Final Thoughts
So, there it is... the new ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT.
The new drivers have helped the card a lot - it really does go from a joke of a product to something that you could recommend. The biggest problem we see is that AMD may have already done the damage by not waiting another week or two for the new drivers to come out.
The biggest problem with the card would have to be the amount of power it draws alongside the fact that this in turn makes it operate at higher temperatures. It is literally a mini heater in winter and we do not want to know what it is like in summer.
Onto the positive points, the package from MSI is great! VIVO, HDMI Convertor, HDCP along with all those other handy cables and of course Black Box Orange Box, it has a lot going for it. Throw in the fact that it is really about the same price as a standard GeForce 8800GTS 640MB and it is easy to see why you would pick this card up over the other.
You of course cannot forget the fact that AMD is really on the ball in the driver department. We should continue to see more and more performance out of the card as time goes on meaning that it could become quite the killer card. Yes, it is late to the market but as long as people realize it is a good card AMD should be alright and give them a chance for the next generation of cards due out later this year.
On a side note, we spent some extra time with the MSI Radeon HD 2900 XT to see what it was really capable of. Trying some max OC on the Intel Core 2 E6600 @ 3.7GHz we got within a 1000 marks (3DMark06) of the XFX 8800 Ultra XXX running at the same overclocked CPU speed. It is clear the card has potential but it is going to take another driver release or two until we see more serious power out of the product.
- Pros
Package including Orange Box
Price vs. Performance is very good
New drivers offering better performance
Impressive overclocking
Manages to give more expensive 8800GTX run for its money
- Cons
Power requirements
Operating temperature
1GB DDR-4 version coming out soon

From the get-go it was obvious that the Browns did not have the weapons to go toe-to-toe with the Packers. Aaron Rodgers hit Jermichael Finley on an early touchdown pass. Finley made three would-be tacklers miss, and the rout was on. Davon House intercepted a pass which was soon converted into an Eddie Lacy touchdown run and the Packers were up 14 0 in the first quarter.
The Packers run defense has been awesome this year and they were again Sunday. The behemoth guys in the defensive line have eaten up blockers to allow the Packers linebackers to make the tackles. Inside linebacker Jamari Lattimore, who was filling in for an injured starter, had a great game, as did A.J. Hawk. In all, six starters were on the shelf this week. Lattimore looks like he has a nice future in Titletown. The Packers defense held the erratic Brown offense to a mere 89 yards in the first half as the Packers took a 17 3 lead at intermission.
The Packers offense sputtered a bit in the second half, but Mike McCarthys theory of the next man up brought the spotlight onto wide receiver Jarrett Boykin. Randall Cobb and James Jones were injured and out for this game so the unheralded Boykin stepped it up with eight receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown.
With all the injured players, a number of the former special teams players were pulled from that duty and thus there were problems in that area. Special teams coverage has not been a Packer stronghold for a long time and there were numerous mistakes made on Sunday. Combined with some boneheaded penalties, the Packers were fortunate they were not playing elite NFL competition else wise the outcome may well have been different.
Jermichael Finley suffered an unfortunate neck injury in the fourth quarter which has Cheesehead Nation on edge. Finley was having a fine game and a fine year. He is playing out his contract this year for big dollars and the Packers need him. There is no other tight end on the squad with anywhere near his talent level.
The Packers now have a three-week winning streak and take the party next Sunday night to the Humpty Dump in Minneapolis to play the Vikings. The Vikings have major defensive issues this year and a quarterback problem. Vikings management reached badly two years ago when they drafted Christian Ponder and now they have second thoughts about him. Journeyman Matt Cassel was given a chance but they didnt like him either. Enter Josh Freeman who was cut by Tampa Bay just a couple weeks ago. Freeman was clearly not ready Monday night against the New York Giants. Vikings management set Freeman up to fail and his pathetic performance should be on their shoulders, not his. There is a reason why the Vikings franchise has never won a world championship.
Even with the injuries, look for the Packers to be a touchdown favorite next week in Minneapolis. But beware, Cheeseheads, of the collapsing roof, artificial noise, and flying whiskey bottles. A plague lurks in the Humpty Dump.

High-pressure common rail systems for heavy-duty diesel engines meet Euro VI standard
At the same event, Delphi also revealed its new common rail system for small, one to four cylinder diesel engines, including non-automotive applications. This concept system aims at heavily downsized applications and developing markets.
A combination of highly efficient injector design, configurable pump layout and sophisticated air and fuel control strategies has provided a highly-flexible, modular solution for large engines between 7 and 16 litres displacement.
Delphi's new heavy-duty common rail system will be available in three configurations: two Distributed Pump Common Rail Systems (DPCRS), in which the pressure is provided by a number of separate pumping units, and a Remote Pump Common Rail System (RPCRS), which is similar to traditional common rail layouts. Running initially at 2700bar injection pressure, the technology is capable of operating at up to 3000bar to meet the requirements of future legislation, beyond EuroVI, that might limit the permissible CO2 emissions from heavy commercial vehicles. Delphi has been working on the Euro VI systems since 2005.
For Delphi, Euro VI represents evolution, not revolution," said David Draper, engineering director, Delphi Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems. We have substantial experience with very high pressures and already manufacture some of the most sophisticated control valves available. Combining this with innovative new architectures and control systems has allowed us to significantly reduce the cost of EuroVI compliance for our customers while continuing to improve fuel economy and CO2 emissions.
