Algae Demonstration Plant Project
A particularly exciting project for us is our effort to develop a demonstration pilot plant for algae biofuels. This is an applied research (or "translational research") project focused on applying basic algae research to create biofuel to run a municipal vehicle. The goal is to go "from test tube to fuel tank," solving practical implementation problems and disseminating knowledge among project participants, to similarly-situated municipalities/gov entities, to AZ biofuels producers and to community-based efforts and developing countries. The project is planned as a public-private partnership between government, academic and commercial actors. We're currently deep in the planning and proposal-development stage. Some photos of the proposed site can be seen here. A few additional details in the attached slides.

'The euro is irreversible'
Posted: 28/08/2012 Filed under: Alexa van Sickle, Europe, Geo-economics | Tags: EU, euro, eurozone crisis, Fullerton Lecture, Greece, Klaus Regling, Spain Leave a comment
By Alexa van Sickle, Assistant Editor
Klaus Regling, head of the European Union's bailout fund, says the EU is moving in the right direction after its debt crisis, but that Greece's future in the eurozone depends on its progress in meeting the terms of its bailout.
Speaking at the fifth IISS Fullerton lecture in Singapore, Regling, the CEO of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), was cautiously optimistic about the future of the euro and of the EU. Regling said structural reforms and action taken by EU governments to address the sovereign debt crisis were beginning to show signs of success: 'Ireland shows now a current account surplus after sizable deficits in earlier years, Spain is getting very close to a current account balance [and] Greece and Portugal have reduced their current account deficits by two thirds,' he said.
However, Regling said while 'nobody' at EU policy level wanted Greece to leave – which would be the most expensive solution – a 'Grexit' could not be ruled out, and that its continued eurozone status hinged on its ability to deliver on its reform promises.
Greece's fate remained uncertain. Regling's remarks coincided with Greek premier Antonis Samaras's visit to officials in France and Germany to ask for more time to make painful cuts, labour reforms and privatisations – causing renewed concern globally about a eurozone exit. Samaras stressed he was asking for time, not money, but France and Germany warned that more time would mean more funds, and that they would maintain a tough stance. Germany's finance minister rejected any extension of Greece's 2014 deadline for reforms, but Chancellor Angela Merkel reiterated her desire for Greece to stay in the eurozone – but also said that Greece's 'deeds must follow words'.
Merkel and other European leaders have said they'll await a report, due in October, from Greece's creditors – the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund – before deciding whether to release the next €31.5 billion aid installment.
In his lecture, Regling remarked that Greece's predicament was a unique case – its debt, fiscal deficit and political structure made it far more problematic than Spain, Portugal or Ireland. 'One could say Greece has solvency problems, while the other countries have liquidity problems,' he said.
Government bonds?
Regling also discussed a proposal, made by ECB President Mario Draghi, in which the EFSF would provide financing for struggling euro economies by buying government bonds, (for example from Spain) in the primary bond market. The ECB would then intervene in the secondary market.
He stressed that the proposal had not been discussed by eurozone finance ministers, but that it could be a 'possible model' for the future. Under the plan, member states seeking funds would be obliged to undertake necessary reforms as a pre-condition for receiving the support. Because the ECB would bring its own money to this plan, it would also address market concerns that the EFSF lacked the 'firepower' to help European countries out of their financial crises.
Euro as a pillar of the EU
Regling said that contrary to the media's assessment, the EU's response to the crisis had been successful, but that continued commitment to structural reform was crucial. 'The competitiveness gap between Northern Europe and Southern Europe … has been cut in half. This demonstrates significant progress on the one hand, but also that countries in the periphery need to continue their adjustment process.'
Regling conceded that the debt crisis had caused political tensions within the EU, but that a 'majority' were still in favour of European integration and the euro. He was confident that the crisis and its accompanying tensions would be overcome. The devaluation of the euro was not the answer, regardless of that fact that it would not be possible in a monetary union. Recovery would instead come through structural reforms and government-level legislation, as outlined in the EU's Fiscal Compact.
He described the euro as 'irreversible', suggesting that it should not be seen merely as an economic project, but as 'one of the defining pillars of today's European Union'.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Dozens of community members turned out for an Opioid Impact Summit at Grants Pass High School Thursday night. Among the presenters was Rebecca Peterson who lost her son to an opioid overdose three years ago.
"His blood was a virtual pharmacy and so was his apartment," said Peterson.
The impact summit focused on the increased opioid use in Josephine county and throughout the country. Several local agencies teamed up for the summit and dozens of community members spent the night searching for solutions.
"The folks from the community have an opportunity to brainstorm what they think needs to happen. Do we need more residential programs, do we need more detox beds, are there things the treatment community can do different," said Choices Counseling director, Rick Jones.
Similar summits were held about 10 years ago to focus on meth and officials said progress was made then and can be made now.

Spring Game 12: Yankees at Astros
Hello from Mickey's doorstep in Kissimmee, Fla., where the Yankees and Astros will meet this afternoon for a 1:05 p.m. ET contest. Today's game is being televised and will be shown on MLB Network. John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman are also here with the radio call, which can be heard in New York on WFAN (man, that's going to take some getting used to).
Ivan Nova gets the start for New York, but the more interesting storyline will be the spring debut of left-hander Manny Banuelos, who is scheduled to pitch in relief. This is the first time Banuelos has faced hitters since his Tommy John surgery, and after Banuelos declared earlier in camp that 2014 will be his year to get to the big leagues, it'll be a good opportunity to see what his stuff looks like.
Here are the lineups:
Brett Gardner CF
Eduardo Nunez 2B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Kelly Johnson DH
Francisco Cervelli C
Dean Anna SS
Scott Sizemore 3B
Zoilo Almonte LF
Mason Williams RF
Ivan Nova RHP
Also scheduled to pitch: Manny Banuelos, Cesar Cabral, David Herndon, Fred Lewis.
Dexter Fowler CF
Jose Altuve 2B
Jason Castro C
Chris Carter DH
Marc Krauss 1B
Jesus Guzman LF
L.J. Hoes RF
Jonathan Villar SS
Cesar Izturis 3B
Jarred Cosart RHP
Also scheduled to pitch: Chad Qualls, Darin Downs, Jake Buchanan, Jorge De Leon, Paul Clemens.
Exit Sandman: "I'm done, guys."
Mariano Rivera has thrown his final pitch. The all-time saves leader said on Saturday that he will not take the mound during this series against the Astros, instead letting his Yankee Stadium finale serve as his final Major League appearance.
"I'm done, guys. I'm done. I gave everything that I have," Rivera said. "I think Thursday was the game that I left everything on the field."
Rivera said that he has been pitching with "tremendous soreness in my arm," and that "I was giving everything. I left it there." He said that giving the ball to Andy Pettitte and Derek Jeter at the conclusion of Thursday's appearance against the Rays gave him complete closure.
"I know it was the perfect moment. It was something I would have never expected," Rivera said, adding, "I think I squeezed every ounce of fuel out of my tank. It is empty. I have nothing left."
Mariano Rivera may have played his last game
HOUSTON — Mariano Rivera's playing career may have ended with that tearful embrace on the mound this week at Yankee Stadium.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he has given Rivera the option of pitching in any of the club's final games against the Astros here at Minute Maid Park. Rivera told Girardi that he is unavailable again on Saturday, and though Rivera has the right to change his mind, Girardi seems to believe that Rivera will not pitch in Houston.
Rivera's memorable exit in the Bronx, Girardi said, created a perfect way to go out.
"I think that's a big part of it," Girardi said. "That was a special night for him, the way it unfolded. I think he wants it to end that way. But you know, if he changes his mind, it's OK. Whatever he wants to do."
Girardi also said that he does not believe Rivera will play center field in Houston; again, his choice. Rivera has long pined for that chance, but seemed to have backed off of his desire earlier this week when Girardi said he was "absolutely" considering it.
"I don't think we're probably going to see that as well," Girardi said. "At least I gave him the opportunity. It's his decision."
Rivera is expected to speak to reporters at the conclusion of batting practice.

Astros claim Lance Pendleton
The Houston Astros have claimed right-hander Lance Pendleton off waivers from the Yankees. Pendleton will join the team tomorrow.
Pendleton was designated for assignment this week when the Yankees wanted to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for right-hander George Kontos.
It's a homecoming of sorts for the Houston product, and a second chance with the Astros; he was with them this spring as a Rule 5 pick before being returned to the Yankees.

BHP wants four years to think on Olympic Dam
PUBLISHED: 26 Sep 2012 14:56:00 | UPDATED: 27 Sep 2012 11:21:39PUBLISHED: 26 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 27 Sep 2012Mathew Dunckley and Jamie Freed
Mining giant BHP Billiton has asked for a 46-month extension of its indenture agreement with the South Australian government for the expansion of Olympic Dam.
BHP said yesterday it had formally applied for an extension to the indenture agreement, which covers issues such as royalties, that would align it with the expiry of separate environmental approvals in 2016.
The application follows BHP's decision in August to delay the development of a massive open-pit mine at Olympic Dam so it could investigate different processing technology and less capital-intensive designs.
"The extension period is necessary to complete these studies," the BHP statement said.
South Australian Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy Tom Koutsantonis said he had met BHP yesterday and "very careful consideration" would be given to the request.
"This careful consideration will include our own due diligence into the changes now being suggested by BHP," he said.
"What the request means is that BHP are serious about staying in South Australia and developing that asset."
Mr Koutsantonis said the government would consider altering the indenture if necessary and he hoped to make a decision on the extension "well before" the December deadline.
The cash-strapped SA government, also yesterday, had its credit rating downgraded by Standard & Poor's Financial Services to AA, the lowest of any Australian state. SA was downgraded from AAA to AA+ in May of this year after releasing a budget characterised by heavy deficits.
The rating agency said the second downgrade was due to lack of confidence in government savings targets and weakening revenue projections.
Treasurer Jack Snelling said S&P had taken an "overly pessimistic" view of revenues and the government was not going to "sacrifice South Australian jobs" of the state's "once in a generation" infrastructure program to preserve a credit rating.
The downgrade would cost about $3 million a year on interest payments based on immediate movements in bond rates, he said.
Shadow treasurer Iain Evans said the latest downgrading was another blow to Mr Snelling;s financial management.
"Financial commentators have estimated that moving from a AAA credit rating to AA+ will cost SA over $22 million per year in extra interest payments," he said in a statement. "How much will it cost South Australia in extra interest to move from AA+ to AA?"
"South Australia now has the worst credit rating of all states in Australia – we are the only state with a AA credit rating."
Moody's Investors Service recently downgraded South Australia's debt rating from AAA to AA1.
The last time the state was downgraded to AA was in 1991. It kept that rating until 1999 before regaining it in 2004.
"The rating action reflects our view that revenues across the forward estimates will be weaker than reflected in the 2013 budget, due to a lower GST [goods and services tax] pool than forecast, as well as weaker conveyance duties from 2014," Standard & Poor's credit analyst Claire Curtin said in a statement.
The rating agency also cast doubt on the government's ability to achieve its savings targets.
"While we expect that some cost savings will be achieved, we anticipate that there will be slippage in expenditures, contributing to worse-than-anticipated budgetary performance," Ms Curtin said.
"We anticipate budget performance will be weaker than forecast by the South Australian government, and that South Australia will post adjusted cash operating deficits until 2014."
Standard & Poor's expects the cash operating balance to remain under 5 per cent across the four year forward-estimate period while the average deficit after capital expenditure will be more than 10 per cent of revenues.
"These anticipated operating deficits will lead to a sharper rise in the gross debt level of the non-financial public sector than the 70 per cent foreshadowed by the budget in fiscal 2015, to around 80 per cent of consolidated revenues," she said.
But Ms Curtin said the stable outlook reflected a view that the "strong institutional framework and financial management settings in Australia help offset – to a point – South Australia's potential weaker budgetary performance".
An upgrade in the credit rating was unlikely because it would require "a significant and sustained improvement" in the state's budget performance.
Likewise, any further slide is also not expected in the next two years.
Debt would need to lift "even more substantially than we expect, to greater than 120 per cent of revenues, or the interest burden to exceed 5 per cent of revenues, which would likely combine with a negative reassessment of financial management and ongoing debt funding of cash operating deficits", she said.
"The rating action reflects our view that revenues across the forward estimates will be weaker than reflected in the 2012 budget, due to a lower GST pool than forecast, as well as weaker conveyance duties from 2014," the agency said.
"While we expect that some cost savings will be achieved, we anticipate that there will be slippage in expenditures, contributing to worse-than-anticipated budgetary performances."

2012 Outstanding Alumnus, Donnie Daniels
Graduate, leader, instructor, student, veteran and lifelong learner: These are titles used to describe Donnie Daniels of Rocky Mount. A proven leader with over 24 years of experience in emergency services, his cross-functional background includes military, law enforcement, administrative, professional
and volunteer fire experience. He personifies Dallas Herring's philosophy, "taking people where they are and carrying them as far as they can go."
Daniels began his career in 1999 as a firefighter with the City of Rocky Mount. Five years later, while enrolled in Nash Community College's Emergency Preparedness Technology curriculum program, he was promoted to Captain. In 2006, at the age of 37, he completed his Associate in Applied Science degree in Emergency Preparedness Technology.
"My time at Nash Community College was a challenge, as it should be. I remember what it was like being a full time student and a full time firefighter. At the same time, I was a husband, a father of three very active kids, a youth baseball coach, a volunteer firefighter with Red Oak Fire Department, as well as staying active in my church. I remember at times it seemed a little overwhelming," Daniels said.Read Full Story

Staff Trainings
The adults who work in our schools play an important role in ensuring a safe environment for all our students. To help achieve this, the Civil Rights Team Project offers trainings for school administrators, faculty, and support staff.
In-Service Training: Challenging Bias and Harassment in Our Schools
Suggested Audience: Any adults who work with students in elementary, middle level, and/or high schools. All Maine schools are eligible for this service, free of charge.
Time Commitment: 3 full hours, which includes breaks.
In-Service Description:
Students struggle to learn when they feel unsafe, unwelcome, or disrespected in school. The mission of the Civil Rights Team Project is to increase the safety of all Maine students. This in-service will help participants work individually and collaboratively to help insure that all students can learn in an environment free of harassment where they feel safe, welcome, and respected.
Is this an anti-bullying workshop?
No. That answer surprises many people, but the Civil Rights Team Project focuses on bias behaviors, especially those related to race, national origin and ancestry, religion, physical and mental disability, gender, and sexual orientation.
Bullying and bias are sometimes connected, but they are not the same thing. This distinction is an important part of this training.
- Read a more complete description (PDF) of this in-service training, including our objectives and expectations.
Other Training Options:
While the official in-service training is our preferred option, schools can also arrange for shorter and more informal training sessions with the Civil Rights Team Project.
If you are interested in scheduling the Civil Rights Team Project for a training session, in-service or otherwise, please contact:

Schools and Curriculum Coordinator

US, Cuba to resume migration talks today
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States and Cuba plan to resume talks on Cuban migration to the United States today, a US official said, a dialogue that is part of US President Barack Obama's bid to engage the communist island.
The talks, last held in 2003 and suspended by Washington in 2004, cover a mid-1990s agreement that aimed to prevent an exodus of Cuban refugees to the United States such as the 1980 Mariel boatlift and another wave of boat people in 1994.
The United States on May 22 offered to resume the talks, predictably drawing mixed reviews from the Cuban American community, where some criticized it as a concession to a dictatorial regime and others as a step toward better ties.
"The talks are being held tomorrow in New York," said the U.S. official, who declined to be named because the US government had yet to formally announce the discussions.
It was not clear why the talks were being held in New York, rather than in Washington, nor how long they might last.
Obama on April 13 decided to ease limits on family travel to Cuba and to allow US telecom companies to operate on the communist-run island, a sign that analysts said could mark the beginning of the end of the 50-year-old US embargo.
Analysts have suggested restarting the migration talks would be a further token of Obama's desire to reach out to Cuba as he has to other nations such as Iran and Syria with which the United States has had strained relations for decades.
The 1995 migration accord sought to put a definitive end to mass sea-borne migration.
It established the repatriation to Cuba by US authorities of Cuban migrants intercepted at sea, and Havana also pledged to halt illegal migration bids.
In the same accord, the United States agreed to foster legal migration by granting at least 20,000 US visas to Cubans each year.
The administration of former US President George W. Bush suspended the talks in January 2004, saying Cuba had stymied them by refusing to discuss key issues such as giving exit permits to all Cubans who get US visas.

This is a 5.5x14" snare drum made by Sufyan Ottman. The shell is cherry, and constructed with vertical staves, joined using a patent-pending proprietary process employing an "opposed lockjaw tenon joint". There is very little glue between the segments, resulting in a shell that resonates purely and a tone that is unfound in other segment-shell drums. The shells are made 100% in-house, with no part of the process outsourced. The drums are equipped with ten beavertail style lugs, Trick throw-off and 302 double-flanged hoops.

Ray Nagin Corruption Trial Postponed
A federal judge has agreed to postpone the trial of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on bribery charges.
Nagin's trial was scheduled to start Monday, but U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan issued an order Thursday that moves the trial date to Jan. 27.
Nagin's lawyer, Robert Jenkins, had asked for more time to prepare. Prosecutors opposed his request for a delay.
Nagin was indicted in January on charges he accepted free trips and more than $200,000 in bribes from contractors in exchange for helping them secure lucrative city contracts.
The case is the centerpiece of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor.

To try your hand at Offshore Fishing. For those without boats, the Sebastian Inlet Park has two jetties reaching into the Atlantic. Surf fishing and walking along the miles of shoreline also provide great recreation.

Bistro Byronz is a old new addition to the Baton Rouge Restaurant scene. After closing their doors 20 years ago they're back and expanding. I visited on my last BR afternoon to get a take-out lunch.
With all the construction on Government St. right now, Bistro Byronz was a little tough to get to, and their parking situation didn't make things much better. But my lunch more than made up for the difficulty.
I tried the Jr. Byronz sandwich, which had ham, salami, & Canadian bacon with a special blend of cheeses, combo dressing, lettuce, tomato & black olives served on Byronz' original bread (which looked a lot like an onion roll).
What a fabulous sandwich! Everything worked well together, though the olives added a little too much saltiness alongside all the salty meats. When I finished I found myself wishing I had ordered the full sandwich and not the Jr. version! Since I ordered take-out, I didn't get much of a sense of the ambiance or service at Bistro Byronz, but I can say it took a little longer than it should have for me to get acknowledged at the bar to place my order–especially since I was the only person sitting there.
Bistro Byronz has live music on Thursdays and has locations in Shreveport and Mandeville. I think this spot will be on my to-visit list next time I make it home.
