While some political forces in the U.S. still press for funding more nuclear power more, renewable energy production has exceeded nuclear during the first three months of 2011.
Black carbons are emitted from diesel exhausts and burned biomass and are considered an environmental and health hazard all over the world. Besides the fact that they favor global dimming, black carbons also attract heat.
You surely remember how it's like in winter: you wake up, it's dark, you turn the lights on. When you go to work, there's finally more light, but when you return at around 5, say, it's dark again, and you feel like you've been missing the whole day. But that's not the point. The idea is that you consume much more electricity and resources if your schedule doesn't match the daylight.
Scientists at the University of California San Diego have discovered new plant enzymes that can allow plants to save water while consuming more CO2 from the atmosphere. The enzyme causes the plants to react to CO2 and change how they use their pores and by modifying the enzyme, scientists believe that could be developed more CO2- and drought-tolerant crops.
Researches from Stanford University have recently published a study on ethanol fuel and its influence over human health. Compared to pure gasoline usage, ethanol increases health problems because of cancer-chemical formation.
Scientists at Novotech and two Massachusetts universities are working to create a new system that could channel heat from asphalt and other paving materials into clean and usable energy.
This year's Tokyo Motor Show was dominated by the Nippon market, Alpina and Lotus being the only foreigners with a stand at the show. Big companies like Daihatsu, Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Nissan and Mitsubishi presented a lot of new concepts and hybrid or electric cars.
Engineers are performing the last tests and measurements before the grid-connection off the coast of Port Kembla, near Sydney. The system will be generating about 2.5MW by harvesting air pressure that will turn a wind turbine.
The chemists from the Idaho National Laboratory and Idaho State University may have found the gold mine of solar energy efficiency. They invented the manufacturing of a highly precise and uniform nanopaticle that improves solar cells and further spurs the growing nanotech revolution.
A company called Renew Blue, Inc. will use wave power to run a desalination plant in Freeport, Texas. The resulted water will be finally put into corn-based biodegradable plastic bottles. The SEADOG power system is made from a buoy which puts in motion a piston mechanism that rotates a water wheel to generate electricity.
Italy is known for its plans to develop photovoltaic power as one of their main sources of energy. Having such a wide experience in solar power harvesting, several issues arise regarding the solar panels' maintenance. Every PV plant has a sensor verifying the quantity of light arriving at its location at any given moment during the day.
A long time ago, Toyota Motor Corporation has started its green thinking trend with hybrid cars which revolutionized fuel consumption. Now they found a way to combine electric vehicles with hybrid ones and they presented their concept just days before the Tokyo Motor Show.
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) in Pfintzal, near Karlsruhe, propose an alternative to the lazily-charging Lithium-Ions: the redox flow batteries.
New research is paving the pathway towards better and more efficient solar cells, as University of Florida chemists have invented a method of "hacking" the molecular structures of the materials the solar cells are made of, in order to gain a maximum transfer efficiency from them.
Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology have invented a new type of ceramic material that could widen the uses of SOFCs, so they could also be used with a wide range of liquid or gaseous fuels, without the need of separating hydrogen or cleaning them.

Saturn's Return
It takes approximately 29.5 years for Saturn to orbit the sun. When a person turns 30 years old, they are said to experience "Saturn's Return", when the harsh world really starts to test them by ordeal... not sure if this is what the song is about, but it made me think of endless struggle and a stressful emergence into adulthood.
An accomplished track, full of fighting spirit but also touches of weary melancholy.
Top flight stuff !
Well actually the story is about a kid growing up in a strictly religious family (it can be any religion) and him growing up and starting to question what he really believes in.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Something I Don't Know...
Is how you guys you guys haven't made it big yet. I have checked out pretty much everything you have done and stuff, and not heard one bad song yet. I mean, some of the songs are better than the others, but none of them are bad at all. Keep up the good work, and I hope you guys manage to get big some day. ;)
Also, I dunno if you do requests or not, but could you cover "Carousel" by blink-182 please? It's probably one of my favorite blink-182 songs, but I'm really curious to see how it would turn out if you guys covered it. You don't have to though, obviously. As long as you keep up the great work, I'm fine with whatever. ;P
Thanks! And I hope we do get big someday! I doubt it'll happen but who knows..but I don't think we're gonna cover Carousel lol
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Lol, you guys remind me of old school Punk from the early 90's like in SLC Punk and Empire Records (those 2 movies kicked ass) about the only punk band I like is Green Day. You guys are awesome.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
good song man :D
and you guys dont realize that if not all most of the auther comments are done by vocal/lead guitar?
Thanks! But what do you mean? lol

Provisional Monthly Hospital Episode Statistics for Admitted Patient Care, Outpatients and Accident and Emergency Data - April 2013 to May 2013
Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) is a data warehouse containing records of all patients admitted to NHS hospitals in England. It contains details of inpatient care, outpatient appointments and A&E attendance records. The Kennedy report recommended that HES should be "supported as a major national resource for the monitoring of a range of healthcare outcomes".
Hospital episode statistics (HES) statistics are produced and published on a monthly basis. This data is provisional and should therefore be treated as an estimate until the final National Statistics annual publications.
Key facts
In the year from June 2012 to May 2013 there were:
Admitted Patient Care
- 17.7 million finished consultant episodes (FCEs), 59.9 per cent (10.6 million) of which included at least one procedure or intervention, and 6.1 million of which were day cases.
- 15.1 million finished admission episodes (FAEs), of which 5.3 million were emergency admissions.
- The shortfall between the most recent month's data is more pronounced when considering clinical (procedures and diagnoses) coverage. 9.8 per cent more procedures and 11.1 per cent more diagnoses were coded in the HES data submitted to SUS by 19/06/13 (Month 02) - extract used for this publication, compared to the HES data submitted to SUS by 17/05/13 (Month 01), extract unpublished. We accordingly recommend extra caution using clinical codes for the most recent months data.
- 93.7 million outpatient appointments made, with 75.1 million (80.2 per cent) of these attended by the patient.
- 6.9 million outpatient appointments not attended by the patient, representing 7.3 per cent of all appointments.
Accident & Emergency
- 18.3 million A&E attendances recorded in A&E HES of which 3.8 million (20.8 per cent) resulted in admission to hospital for inpatient treatment. 3.6 million (19.9 per cent) resulted in a GP follow up, and 7.1 million (39.1 per cent) were discharged with no follow up.

Yeah, me too. And the worst part is that I started emerging 1.5 right after it came out!And I just finished emerging 1.5...
Everything else you should be able to find here:
When we tout the advantages of Open Source, the availability of extensions on time, is not something we should fail on. After all, there have been a number of betas and release candidates released before this major one. Tests could be done on thos
Well, I have been running 2.0 since rc2, and I have all of the following extensions working: Adblock, Adblock Filterset.G updater, Forecastfox, Linky, and McAfee SiteAdvisor. While I realize this is a far cry from all the extensions, these are all the ones I use regularly. I'm quite sure the list of working extensions is far bigger than what I've listed.
Some people have voiced their concern that this release is not worth the 2.0 moniker. I however don't understand the point. If numbers are to be believed, this version is as incremental as 1.5 was for 1.0
This is an exceptionally bad argument. In version-land, 1.0-->1.5 != 1.5-->2.0. This is where things like "version 1.13" come from. It's simply not a decimal representation. So, unless there's some compelling change, whether it be to functionality and UI or to the underlying code base, there's no justification for bumping the major version number. (Chessmaster 9000 is, of course, a special case.) This is in no way to denigrate the efforts of the development team.

Visa Europe predicts the UK will have 34 million contactless Visa-branded cards on issue and 175,000 contactless terminals deployed by the end of 2013, with Europe reaching 70 million Visa-branded contactless cards and 650,000 contactless terminals this year.
It's unclear whether all the terminals in Europe would be active this year; some might be equipped with readers, ready for activation later.
Visa made the predictions Wednesday as part of an announcement with Streamline, the UK's biggest merchant acquirer, confirming a larger rollout of contactless acceptance by major UK merchant Boots at its retail pharmacy locations. It follows announcements by some other major merchants accepting contactless in the UK.

by Stuart Hirsch
When HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley (HAHV) consolidated two emergency departments into a newly renovated, state-of-the-art, 35-bed ED at The Kingston Hospital, we set the aggressive goal of having 95 percent of the patients seen by a clinician within 30 minutes of check in.
To accomplish the objective, our three-hospital health system in 2010 implemented a comprehensive electronic health record system from EDIMS that has enabled the organization to dramatically improve ED operations and put us within a few whiskers of meeting our desired wait times. As of January 2011, 87 percent of patients presenting daily at the ED were seen within 30 minutes, up from 47 percent when HAHV launched its initiative in April 2010. Before that, the average wait time was 47 minutes, which was within the national range of 47 to 55 minutes; however, it was not acceptable for the hospital's high standards for care delivery. We are confident that we would have hit 94 percent had we not maintained a percentage of "hold" patients in the ED due to Kingston Hospital (150-beds) being at capacity for six days during January.
A key driver behind our improvement is a time stamp feature in the EHR. This function allows us to analyze the wait times from the moment each of the 150 patients we see daily are registered, triaged and placed in the room for treatment. Every morning the operations team runs a report on the previous day, briefs ED and inpatient clinical leaders, and posts performance results for clinicians to review.
Buy-in and willingness from clinicians to work as a team also have played a key role in the progress we have achieved over the past 10 months. Every ED clinician shared the goal of treating patients as quickly as possible with the best standard of care from the get-go, but getting them to adopt the EHR and to be on the same page was challenging. That's because we had to merge nurses from a secular hospital and a religious facility--that had competed with each other for years--while simultaneously introducing the EDIMS EHR and bringing in a new emergency physician staffing group.
To ease the transition for clinicians, we spent two years integrating the medical services of Kingston and Benedictine Hospitals, leaving emergency care for last. The organization also trained and educated staff on the use of EHR and wait time metrics, held regular meetings and solicited employee input on governance issues.
The results show the organization's strategies were successful. More importantly, they indicate that other health facilities are likely to have an easier time implementing EHRs to reduce ED wait times--and improve care and patient safety--because those institutions probably will not have to overcome as many issues or cultural differences as we had to.
While we are very pleased with the progress made to date, we will reset our target to 100 percent as soon as clinicians see 95 percent of patients within 30 minutes for three consecutive months. This ambitious goal, which we anticipate will occur this year, is reachable: For the week of Jan. 17, we hit 99.5 percent!
It is possible we could have reduced wait times using paper records, but we certainly could not have done it as quickly or efficiently as we were able to with the assistance of an EHR. It would take several people hours to manually analyze wait times for 250 patients compared to the few minutes per day it takes one person to perform that task now.
Stuart Hirsch is administrative director of emergency services at the HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley.

Inglethorpe Hall
Inglethorpe Hall
Sleeps 15 (7 bedrooms)
Property description
Built in 1745, Inglethorpe Hall was once a substantial North Norfolk private estate and residence. Still set in thirty acres of private grounds and parkland, it offers exceptional views across the Wash and is just one of a few Grade II* listed Country Houses in England. This fascinating and historic building has just undergone an extensive three year restoration and is now ready to open its doors for rental by the week as a holiday house. It is also available for one off events - making Inglethorpe Hall the perfect place for the wedding of your dreams, the party of a lifetime, or simply a relaxing weekend away. It has also recently been featured in the Guardian Travel as a recommended property for 2012.
Ideally positioned on the beautiful and undulating North Norfolk coast, the Hall lies on the boundary of the Royal Estate at Sandringham, just one of the amazing historic houses to visit in the area, and within easy reach of the beaches at Hunstanton, Brancaster and Holkham, the Market Towns of Fakenham, Swaffham and Kings Lynn as well as the idyllic villages of Snettisham, Burnham Market and Holt.
Interior and Grounds:
The Hall itself sleeps 15 but we can accommodate up to 30 people at a time when all the holiday cottages within the estate are included. Inside we have two stunning drawing rooms that have the capacity for up to eighty - and the York stone terrace that leads off them boasts sublime views out to the sea making it an original and unique setting to create the event of your dreams.
Alternatively it's possible to rent the whole house for you and your family and friends for a holiday - by the week or month. The house in itself can accommodate 15, and includes a large kitchen with an Aga, separate dining room with a log burning stove, a dedicated TV room (all 42 inches of it) and one spacious sitting room. Most bedrooms are equipped with a TV and some have a DVD. We have an extensive DVD Library available to our guests. There is also a Wii and PS3.
Master Bedroom: This is a fabulous double bedroom with views over parkland as far as the sea (the Wash). It is furnished with antique furniture including a four-poster bed as well as a TV/DVD. It has a spacious en suite bathroom with bath and shower.
Green Room: With west-facing views over the park as far as the sea (the Wash), this double bedroom is decorated in a classic and opulent way. The large en suite bathroom is on a split-level with bath and rose-head shower. Equipped with a TV/DVD.
Jack's Room: A lovely airy room with a hand-painted four-poster antique bed and a substantial en suite bathroom. The view is over the surrounding parkland and ancient trees. TV/DVD.
Baras Room: A nicely proportioned double bedroom with a cast iron bath and sink at one end. A little eccentric but very comfortable! The loo is just a few yards down the corridor (shared with Butlers Room). Views are over the lawn and the surrounding parkland.
Butlers Room: Double bedroom with south and east windows looking over the park. Bathroom directly across the corridor (shared with Baras Room)
North Wing Family Suite: With views westward over the park towards the sea, the family suite comprises a large twin room, a double room and a large family bathroom with freestanding cast iron bath and separate shower. All rooms are adjoining which make it perfect for family use. TV in twin room.

A while ago, back in November the SpoilerTV site was starting to take an average of almost 30 seconds to load. We'd started to lose sight of our users as we added more widget/gadgets and other bloat onto the site.
It was around this time that I decided that we needed to refocus on what the users, ie YOU, actually needed.
As a results we've gone through a pain-staking task of trying to optimize every part of the site as much as possible.
As a result we've now reduced the average page load from nearly 30 seconds to under 8.5 secs. (People with faster connections will get lower times. The average is based on all users inc people on slow connections and mobile)
We've also optimized the site further for those users using the Google Chrome browser and you should see even quicker load times. So now's the time to start using Chrome if you don't already.
Hopefully you'll notice the improved speed times.

Help the new girl out with a fruit beer? I keep going around in circles.
My husband has an unholy fear of fruit beers, but I like them, my girlfriends (and honorary girlfriends who are guys) like them, and we have 8 kegs - so I can have one right? RIGHT?
I found some 100% freeze-dried strawberries at Trader Joes that got me thinking of some sort of wheat/ wit beer for the holidays. But maybe I'm clueless. What would you do with them? Add to secondary? primary?
And whats your favorite AG fruit beer recipe? I'm not married to the Strawberry idea. I'd just like a well-rounded beer or ale that has a nice fruit flavor/aroma without overpowering it.
A good non-strawberry recipe:
5 lbs pilsner malt, 4 lbs wheat malt (mash @ 153* for 60 mins).... .5 oz Mt. Hood at 60 mins... 1 lb. wildflower honey at flameout.... WLP320 - American Hefe yeast.... 6 cups of fresh watermelon juice to 2ndary.
Not sure about using dehydrated fruit for your recipe... The ladies love the watermelon wheat recipe above!
I did a beer with cherries and raspberries. See the fruit beer section - CherrBerr Lager. It has a nice fruity aroma. Nice maltiness, without being overpowered by the fruit. I'mnot sure how well freeze dried strawberries would work. You probably would have to soak them, to get them to plump up, again. Just be aware of the 180* point with fruit. Any higher, and the fruit pectin starts to set, causing hazy beer.
Good Luck
On Deck - Crabapple Wine
Secondary - Pomegranate Wine, Red Table Wine, Wild Fox Grape Wine, Blueberry Wine, Surly Furious clone
Bulk Aging - Brewtopia Barleywine, Sugar Beet Wine
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm at a point where I'm looking at everything as fermentables or potential beer flavors. I think I need to stop that
I brewed a strawberry witbier a couple months ago, and just served the majority of it for my son's first birthday party. Here's the original recipe thread:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=66742
In this case, I sliced up the frozen strawberries, put them in the secondary, and racked from the primary on top of the strawberries. Four pounds imparted a delicate hint of strawberry... not the overpowering smack in the chops of fruit flavor I've had in other fruit beers before.
The beer was well-received, but I'm not terribly happy with it. But then... I'm not a huge fan of fruit beer!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Resurfacing uneven painted brick with cement board
Hello Do it Yourselfers,
I have an 80's wood burning brick fireplace.
I have removed the hearth to the plywood floor and have taken off the mantel and gone down two courses from the top.
The brick is uneven with pieces jutting out a 1/2 to 1 inches.
I have knocked off the high points with a cold chisel and now wish to cover the brick with cement board, then cover with wood and tile. (The 2013 look).
Above the fire place will go a new smart TV by Samsung.
What is the best way to attach the cement board so it is level all around to the brick and will not come off?
You may be able to skip the cement board and just use a thick layer of thin set mortar. Apply to the brick and to the tile with a .38" trowel. If it is that bad and you have to use cement board you got 2 choices. Thin set on the brick and on the back of the board or tap cons. Tap cons are self taping concrete anchors. Pilot holes must drilled using a hammer drill w/ a masonry bit.
One more solution. Get a 4" right angle grinder and a masonry disk.
With this set up you can quite easily knock down the high spots , bricks are relatively soft. You would want a vac running when you do this, it creates a lot of dust. For the price you would pay for the tap cons and cement board, you've got a tool very handy tool that is useful in many ways.
Attach the tiles to the brick using thin set mortar, make sure you wet the brick before start using the thin set. The clay in the brick will suck the moisture from thin set resulting in poor adhesion.
I might not put a T.V above the wood burner if you use it daily, you see them above gas fireplaces which don't give off as much ambient heat in my opinion. A fiend of mine fried his TV above a wood burner he used as primary heat source. The stack was too close to the unit even though he offset it.
I would forgo the grinding and or plastering with thin set. Cement board would be my choice to start nice and smooth. Be sure to use the blue Tapcon screws to adhere the board.
