Help! Condensation on inside of fiberglass insulation
Our 5 yr old house has a walkout west exposure. The 2 x 6 walls were nsulated with R-21 fiber glass and covered with a poly sheet vapor barrier. While stapling some loose corners of the vapor barrier today I noticed considerable condensation on the inside of the poly and on the insulation itself.
When I removed the poly sheeting I found the insulation wet on the basement side but dry and hot on the outer side of the fiber glass. With the 90 degree heat and humidity outside and the cool basement air inside I guess I am not surprised. I suspect the cement board siding may actually contribute to the problem by heating up more than wood siding.
The question is, what can I do to resolve the problem? That is, short of heating my basement in the summertime!
I am in the process of converting the area to living space and will soon want to sheetrock.
Dehumidifier in the basement should minimize that problem if it is only due to the heat differential and basement humidity..
There is one other thing than can cause the moisture---if a cooling/heating register is close to that area and cool/warm air is directed at the area. If that is happening, simply add a deflector to prevent the air from blowing directly on that wall.
A poly sheet is not enough over any insulation in any wall cavity.
First, poly sheets (as are paper faced 'vapor retarders') fully flammable.
Building codes require that any flammable paper or poly materials be covered with at minimum 1/2" gypsum board.
Hang and finish your insulation and exposed vapor retarder with the rwquired 1/2" minimumgypsum board and your problems will be resolved.
The moisture is coming from the outside and condensing in the cooler insulation and on the exterior side of the vapor barrier.
For cooling season the vapor barrier is on the wrong side.
Since you are in NH, you have predominately a heating season and the barrier is towards the warm (interior side) of the insulation.
In predominately cooling areas, the vapor barrier goes on the outside (the side that is warm most often).
Since there is no practical way to move the vapor barrier for the seasons, the longer season is used to decide the vapor barrier location.
In the off season there may be limited condensation.
Running a dehumidifier inside the house is not going to remove moisture that is on the other side of a vapor barrier.
Be SURE there are no leaks from anything.
The small amount of condensation on the outside of the vapor barrier should dry to the outside.
I have same issue in our 6 years old house which we bought 2 months ago. First I noticed small (5 cm in diameter) paddle of water close to one of the walls, water was dripping from the bottom edge of vapor barrier sheet. This wall is facing south and backyard. Insulation was wet inside along whole wall, but only this wall, others were dry. I pulled it out in few places - it was wet only where it touches plastic vapor barrier sheet. Wall behind insulation was warm and dry. No leaking pipes. I think it's condensation, because it's quite cool in the basement.
brickeyee, thanks for the explanation. I'm curious if there is a way to minimize amount of condensation. Has anyone solved this problem?
brickeyee, as you have noted "The moisture is coming from the outside and condensing in the cooler insulation and on the exterior side of the vapor barrier." therefore controlling indoor moisture won't make any difference. Again, I interpret this as moisture is coming through the ground, then basement wall, then fiberglass insulation and then it condenses on the poly VB sheet because air temperature inside basement is cooler than air temperature inside fiberglass insulation covered by VB sheet. Out of 4 walls in the basement only south facing one has the most condensation, some condensation also exists on the adjoining 2 walls, about half way through. South facing wall is a lot warmer, therefore air inside fiberglass insulation is warmer too and can hold more moisture.

Buds coming... What to do??
Last fall, after covering with lots of mulch, there were stems left sticking out from last year's wood. My hydrangeas have always bloomed on new growth from the bottom. What should I do about about these budding sticks?? If I leave them, and a good frost does not get them, will they bloom, and will the new growth still come up and bloom. It is way to early to be making these decisions..
Yes, it is way too early. But I know how you feel. The ones up here started leafing out almost 4 weeks ago. If a frost gets them, it may impact the bloomage but will not kill the shrub. It is hard to tell how all this will play out.
When the stems dry out, that triggers new growth from the bottom. But when you have the possibility of little damage to the stems then you could have some growth from the bottom, hardly any or none at all. Hardly any or none at all is what usually happens to me. I am guessing you may have a mix this year and I may have a lot. The old wood will produce bloomage and the new wood may or may not, depending on the variety.
Ironic, it looks like I may be the one with lots of bottom growth and I may be the person pruning some/lots of dead wood this year. Ha!
The NOAA just released a 90-day forecast that basically says: "if you're experiencing mild weather, don't worry because it's here to stay". That said, they also said that this summer would be predominantly dry. So although your growth is taking off now, it may stall out later with water deficits. But as for bud-kill, I'd say it's an afterthought at this point. Years like this will yield leaps in shrub growth and numerous/large blooms for many people.
Depending on where you are, you may still get frosts, but for 75%+ of this country I'd say no.

daisy-wheel printerA type of printer that produces letter-quality type. A daisy-wheel printer works on the same principle as a ball-head typewriter. The daisy wheel is a disk made of plastic or metal on which characters stand out in relief along the outer edge. To print a character, the printer rotates the disk until the desired letter is facing the paper. Then a hammer strikes the disk, forcing the character to hit an ink ribbon, leaving an impression of the character on the paper. You can change the daisy wheel to print different fonts.
Daisy-wheel printers cannot print graphics, and in general they are noisy and slow, printing from 10 to about 75 characters per second. As the price of laser and ink-jet printers has declined, and the quality of dot-matrix printers has improved, daisy-wheel printers have become obsolete.

A process for sintering green powder metal, metal alloy or metal composition parts employing microwave energy is described.
1. The method of sintering a powder metal green part which comprises powder metal, a powder metal alloy, or a powder metal composition, by subjecting it to microwave energy for a predetermined time to form a dense metal part wherein the microwave energy has a frequency between 0.5 GHz and 10 GHz.
2. The method of sintering a powder metal green part which comprises powder metal, a powder metal alloy, or a powder metal composition, by subjecting it to microwave energy for a predetermined time wherein the microwave frequency is 2.45 GHz and the time is less than 1 hour.
3. The method of sintering a green part as in claim 1 or 2 in which the metal powder is selected from the group: Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Al, Mo, W, Sn and their alloys.
4. The method of sintering a powder metal part as in claim 1 in which the powder metal composition comprises powders of two or more metals whereby they react to form multiphasic alloys.
5. The method of sintering a powder metal green part having the metal composition Fe�Ni, with or without carbon, by subjecting it to microwave energy for a predetermined time to form a dense metal part wherein the microwave energy has a frequency between 0.5 GHz and 10 GHz.

8. The method of sintering a powder metal green part of cobalt by subjecting it to microwave energy for approximately ten minutes at approximately 1100� C. to form a dense metal part wherein the microwave energy has a frequency between 0.5 GHz and 10 GHz.
This application claims priority to Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/066,947 filed Nov. 25, 1997 entitled �Sintering of Power Metal (PM) Components Using Microwave Energy�.
This invention relates generally to a process for sintering powder metal parts and more particularly to a process for sintering powder metal parts using microwave energy.
Application of microwave energy to process various kinds of materials in an efficient, economic, and effective manner, is emerging as an innovative technology and attracting worldwide attention in academia and industries. Microwave heating of materials is fundamentally different from conventional radiation-conduction-convection heating. In the microwave process, the heat is generated internally within the material instead of originating from external heating sources. Microwave heating is a sensitive function of the material being processed.
Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from 1 mm to 1 m in free space and frequency between approximately 300 GHz to 300 MHz, respectively. Today microwaves at the 2.45 GHz frequency are used almost universally for industrial and scientific applications.
The microwave sintering of ceramic materials has been investigated for over fifteen years and has many advantages over the conventional methods. Some of these advantages include: time and energy saving, very rapid heating rates (>400� C./min), considerably reduced processing time and temperature, better microstructures and hence improved mechanical properties, environment friendly, etc. The use of microwave processing typically reduces sintering time by a factor of 10 or more. This minimizes grain growth. The fine initial microstructure can be retained without using grain growth inhibitors and hence achieve high mechanical strength. The heating rates for a typical microwave process are high and the overall cycle times are reduced by similar amounts as with the process sintering time, for example from hours/days to minutes. And most importantly, the process is a simple, single step process not involving complex steps of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or hot pressing. All these possibilities have the potential of greatly improving mechanical properties and the overall performance of the microwave processed components with an auxiliary benefit of low energy usage and cost.
The basic powder metallurgy process is a two step process involving the compaction of a metal powder into the desired shape followed by sintering. Typically metal powders in the range of 1 to 120 micrometers are employed. The powder is placed in a mold and compacted by applying pressure to the mold. The powder compact is porous. Its density depends upon the compaction pressure and the resistance of the particles to deformation.
In the sintering process the powder metal compact is heated to promote bonding of the powder particles. The major purpose of the sintering is to develop strength in the compact. The sintering temperature is such as to cause atomic diffusion and neck formation between the powder particles. The basic process is used in industry for a diversity of products and applications, ranging from catalysts, welding electrodes, explosives and heavy machinery and automotive components.
The most important metal powders in use are: iron and steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, Mo, W, WC, Sn and alloys. The traditional powder metallurgy process is neither energy nor labor intensive, it conserves material and produces high quality components with reproducible properties. However, the challenging demands for new and improved processes and materials of high integrity for advanced engineering applications require innovation and newer technologies. Finer microstructures and near theoretical densities in special components are still elusive and challenging.
While ceramics and certain polymers and elastomers absorb microwave energy partly at low temperatures and increasingly at higher temperatures, by and large it is a universal generalization that good conductors such as metals reflect radiation in this wavelength range and hence cannot absorb energy and be heated by microwaves.
This generalization is borne out by the simple fact that in spite of thousands of studies of microwave heating of food, rubber, polymers, ceramics, etc., no one has ever reported an ordinary commercial powder metal part being sintered by microwave energy. Convincing evidence for this is found in the latest textbook on powder metallurgy (Randall M. German, Sintering Theory and Practice, John Wiley, New York, N.Y., 1996), which makes no reference to anyone using microwaves for this task.
The literature reveals the following:
In a paper by Walkiewicz et al. (J. W. Walkiewicz, G. Kazonich, and S. L. McGill, �Microwave heating characteristics of selected minerals and compounds�, Min. Metall. Processing (February 1988) pp. 39-42), the authors simply exposed 25 g of some 50 powders of reagent grade chemicals, and some 20 natural minerals to a 2.4 GHz field and reported the temperature attained in the crucible in about 10 minutes or less. Among these samples were powders of some half dozen metals (presumably partly oxidized in the air ambient). These showed modest heating (not sintering) in the range from 120� C. (Mg) to 768� C. (Fe). In the paper by M. Willert-Porada, T. Gerdes, K. Rodiger, and H. Kolaska, entitled �Einsatz von Mikrowellen zum Sintern pulvermetallurgischer Prudukte� (Metall, 50 (11), pp. 744-752 (1996)), the title of which translates to �Utilization of microwaves for sintering of powder-metallurgical products� the only two categories of �powder-metallurgical products� treated are oxides and tungsten carbide-Co composites (�Hartmetallen� in German). In U.S. Pat. No. 4,147,911 issued Apr. 3, 1979, entitled �Method for Sintering Refractories and an Apparatus Therefor�, Nishitani describes a method for sintering of refractories using microwaves. He reports that by adding a few percent of electrically conducting powders such as aluminum, the heating rates of the refractories were considerably enhanced. But in this patent there was no mention of the microwave sintering of pure powders of metals. In a paper entitled �Microwave-assisted solid-state reactions involving metal powders� (A. G. Whittaker and D. M. Mingos, J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans pp. 2073-2079 (1995)), Whittaker and Mingos reported solid state reaction involving metal powders. They used the high exothermic reaction rates of metal powders with sulfur in microwaves in synthesizing metal sulphides. But no sintering of pure metal or alloy powders is reported in this paper. In a recent textbook on powder metallurgy (Randall M. German, �Sintering Theory and Practice�, John Wiley, New York, N.Y. (1996)), the author devotes several pages to microwave heating of oxide and non-oxide ceramics, but makes no reference to anyone using microwave sintering for metals or even suggests that it could work for powdered metals. U.S. Pat. 4,942,278, issued Jul. 17, 1990, entitled �Microwaving of Normally Opaque and Semi-opaque Substances� (Sheinberg et al.) describes the sintering of an oxide-metal composite, basically Cu2O and Cu using the absorption by the oxide to cause the temperature to rise into the sintering range. Thus neither theory nor empirical evidence from the literature gives one any hint that one can sinter ordinary typical pressed powder green metal compacts as used by the millions in industry.
It is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved process for sintering powder metal parts or components in net shape by heating with microwave energy.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of sintering powder metal parts or components made of Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Al, Mo, W, Sn and their alloys using microwave energy.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process for sintering powder metal parts and components using microwave energy to provide parts and components which are robust and stable and exhibit better mechanical properties than conventionally made parts and components of the same composition.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide microwave sintered powdered metal parts and components which are dense.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process for sintering powder metal parts and components which offers substantially lower costs and significant reduction in energy and time.
The foregoing and other objects of the invention are achieved by a process in which the green powdered metal parts are sintered by the application of microwave energy.
The file of this patent contains at least one drawing executed in color. Copies of this patent with color drawing(s) will be provided by the Patent and Trademark Office upon request and payment of the necessary fee.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are scanning electron micrographs of a green metal powder part.
FIGS. 1C and 1D are scanning electron micrographs of the sintered part of metal powders shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B.
FIGS. 2A and 2B are X-ray diffractograms of the material shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B and 1C and 1D respectively.
FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show the microstructures of a green Fe+Cu(2%)+graphite(0.8%) part, the conventionally sintered part, and the microwave sintered part, respectively.
FIGS. 4A, 4B and FIGS. 4C, 4D show the microstructures of a green Fe+Ni(2%)+graphite(0.8%) and the microwave sintered part, respectively.
FIGS. 5A and 5B show the X-ray diffractograms of the material shown in FIG. 4 before and after sintering, respectively.
We have discovered that powder metal parts and components can be sintered by subjecting the parts and components to microwave fields whereby the absorption of microwave energy causes heating and subsequently sintering of the part or component. This is contrary to the general belief that metal reflects microwaves.
We have sintered powder metal green parts comprising various metals and metal alloys to produce sintered parts. In one embodiment, we processed the parts in a controlled atmosphere microwave furnace operated at 2.45 GHz frequency and 6 kW power. Sintering time was between 5 and 60 minutes with sintering temperature between 1100� C. and 1300� C. The temperature was read by optical pyrometers and/or sheathed thermocouples. The atmosphere was flowing forming gas (N2+H2) or pure hydrogen. It was found that the net shape of the green parts was retained precisely and a fine microstructure was produced. In some cases a SiC pre-heater was used to preheat the samples and shorten cycle time. In others the entire heating and sintering was achieved with no pre-heater at all, proving that it is indeed 100% microwave sintering. In alternative embodiments, the powder metal green parts are processed with microwave energy at frequencies between 0.5 GHz and 10 GHz.
Table 1 below gives data for these microwave experiments and corresponding property values of conventionally made product of the same composition. From this table it is obvious that in almost all cases the Modulus of Rupture (MR) of microwave processed samples was much higher than the conventional samples, in fact in the case of Fe�Ni composition it was 60% higher. The densities of microwave processed samples are also better than conventional samples.
Samples with composition of Fe+Cu(2%)+Graphite(0.8%) were microwave processed at 1200� C. for 30 minutes. The sintered and green samples were characterized for their microstructure by SEM and phase composition by X-ray diffractomertry.
The scanning electron micrographs of the green and microwave sintered samples are shown at FIGS. 1A and 1B for 170 and 860 magnification before sintering and 1C and 1D at 170 and 860 magnification after sintering. These micrographs indicated that excellent sinterability had occurred between iron particles. The copper melted and reacted with iron particles forming Fe�Cu solid solutions. The X-ray diffractogram, FIG. 2A, indicates that the green pellet contained separate components of the original mixture. The sintered sample had only one phase showing α-iron peaks solid solution with Cu), FIG. 2B.
Cobalt metal powder was pressed into pellets and microwave sintered in pure H2 at 1 atmosphere pressure at various temperature ranging from 900� C. to 1200� C. for 10 minutes. Fully dense samples were obtained at 1100� C. The table below gives the sintering conditions and density data of the microwave sintered Co samples.
Green samples Fe+Cu(2%)+graphite(0.8%) and Fe+Ni(2%)+graphite(0.8%) were sintered at 1120� C. for 30 minutes. FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show the microstructures (examined by an optical microscope) of green, conventionally sintered and microwave sintered Fe+Cu(2%)+graphite(0.8%). FIGS. 4A and 4B show the microstructures for green and sintered Fe=Ni(2%)+graphite(0.8%), respectively. It is seen that in FIGS. 3A and 4A, 4B, that all graphite is concentrated between grains. FIGS. 3B and 3C show that the copper is dissolved in the iron and a pearlitic structure is formed. FIGS. 4C, 4D show austenitic nickel-rich islands and some pearlite. FIGS. 5A and 5B show X-ray diffractograms of green and sintered samples, respectively, in the Fe�Ni�C system. The X-ray diffractogram of the green pellet shows existence of Fe, Ni and graphite phases in the original mixture. The X-ray diffractogram of a microwave sintered pellet indicates dissolution of Ni and C in the iron.
The table below lists the transverse rupture data of the conventionally and microwaved sintered samples of the Fe═Ni(2%)+graphite(0.8%) sintered at 1250� C. for 30 minutes. This clearly shows that the microwaved processed powdered metal part has a 20% higher strength.
The process of sintering with microwave energy can be carried out with the amount of various phases in the alloy system varying from 10 to 100% by microwave sintering to produce multiphase alloys far from equilibrium.
Thus there has been provided a process for sintering powder metal parts and components which is efficient, economical, environmentally friendly, reduces processing times and provides a better microstructure with improved mechanical properties.
The foregoing description, for purposes of explanation, used specific nomenclature to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the specific details are not required in order to practice the invention. The descriptions of specific examples are presented for purposes of illustration. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention. Metal powder compositions and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The examples were chosen in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention.

Since the release of his Gold-certified 9th album, Reality Check, Juvenile has been largely absent from the public eye (aside from Booth-charting features like Everything and Ya Heard Me, the massive coverage following his daughter's shooting death, and the hype surrounding the Hot Boys reunion). Though many were quick to call his career over, the emcee is, in fact, ready to come back, or should we say Back Back, to full force with this newly-released record. The cut embodies everything fans have come to expect from Juve, from his grimy flow to the NIYO's bouncy, uptempo beat—the only question is, will that formula be enough to satisfy listeners after such a long absence? Stay tuned to the Booth for more on Juvenile's upcoming tenth album, including the title and label it will be released under.

Oil and gas can be drilled from "far" away - windmill on the other hand tend to stick out; and in great numbers.
There's looking out for the environment and there's looking out for number one.
Looking out for the environment is looking out for number one, unless you'd rather live in Mordor.
Now we know where they stand.
Firmly in the NIMBY camp, the same as pretty much everyone else. And since windmills require a lot of land - a lot of people's backyards - to produce significant amounts of power, this is yet another reason why renewable energy isn't a viable alternative to nuclear.
It is masked but always present. I don't know who built to it. It came before the first kernel.

Surgery Successful for Celtic Jeff Green
(BOSTON) -- According to Boston Celtics Coach Doc Rivers, the team was informed Monday forward Jeff Green had successful surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm.
Green will miss the entire 2011-2012 season. He found out during his team physical prior to the season that surgery would be necessary.
Before becoming aware of the operation, the C's were hoping Green would be a big piece of the team this season.
Boston acquired Green from Oklahoma City in the Kendrick Perkins trade in the middle of last season, but he never seemed truly comfortable on the court. The team was hoping a new year and short training camp would provide their forward with that comfort.
The hope now is that Green will be back on the court for the beginning of the 2012-2013 season.

AFRICA/MALAWI - Corruption Scandal: "Speedy prosecutions to regain the trust of donors" asks the Church
Lilongwe (Agenzia Fides) – Do everything possible to clean up politics and administration in order to regain the confidence of international donors whose aid is needed to alleviate the suffering of the population. This is the meaning of the message delivered by Chris Chisoni, Secretary General of the Commission for "Justice and Peace" of the Episcopal Conference of Malawi, at a press conference at the end of the meeting of the Commissions "Justice and Peace" of 8 Catholic dioceses in the Country.
"The Church cannot just sit and watch some of the challenges Malawians are facing now hence the need for us to speak out with one voive over these issues". said Chisoni.
International donors (European Union, Great Britain, Norway and the African Development Bank) have stopped giving aid to Malawi following the discovery of serious fraud on the use of funds received. It is estimated that at least 185 millions dollars have been stolen from state coffers.
So far, fifty officials have been arrested, including the Minister of Justice, Ralph Kasambara.
In relation to the so-called "cash-gate" Chisoni said that "we want the arrest of all those involved, sparing no sacred cow".
Representatives of Justice and Peace finally ask donors to reconsider the suspension of aid that is having serious social consequences: food shortages in certain areas of the Country, with serious risks to people; drastic decrease of school attendance and risks for next year's harvest.

Comments about Paula Deen Southern Gathering Chestnut Dinnerware - Set of 16:
These dishes are beautiful, the reason I only gave them 4 stars and not 5 is because they will chip fairly easy if you are not careful when loading them in the dishwasher. Other than that , they do not get hot at all when used in the microwave as my other dishes in the past have . I love these dishes, I just hope they will last as they are very beautiful!

Lead Belly
Lead Belly, Lead Belly: The Smithsonian Folkways Collection (Smithsonian Folkways, 5 CDs and book, $89.98) – Lead Belly was a powerful singer, with an unmistakable sound on the 12-string guitar; he also wrote memorable songs which are still sung. Lead Belly died in 1949, yet music, as well as his dramatic biography and public personae, are still worthy of study. Lead Belly: The Smithsonian Folkways Collection tells his story with five CDs, packaged in an LP-sized, 140-page book with extensive notes by the co-producers, scholar Robert Santelli and Folkways archivist Jeff Place. The CDs are thematically arranged—with the first three discs arranging his best-known songs, as well as displaying the immense breadth of Lead Belly's repertoire: play songs, prison and work songs, topical political tunes, blues and gospel. The fourth and fifth CDs include rare radio shows he did on WNYC, and his last home recordings. The Smithsonian Channel also has been showing a companion documentary, Legend of Lead Belly.
There was an article in Sunday's New York Times, and co-producer and archivist Jeff Place discussed the project and some of the rare material he found on NPR's All Things Considered.
NOTE: On Saturday, April 25, there will be an all-star tribute to the music of Lead Belly at the Kennedy Center.
Chamber Orchestras & Chamber Music
The Knights, The Ground Beneath Our Feet (Warner Classics, $16.99) – The Knights are an orchestral collective started by brothers Colin and Eric Jacobsen (also the founders of the Brooklyn Rider Quartet). Their new album (recorded at Dumbarton Oaks in October, 2013) is creatively programmed around a "celebration of the concerto grosso"—a conversation between two or more instruments and the larger ensemble. Bach's Violin and Oboe Concerto leads to Stravinsky's "Dumbarton Oaks" Concerto—the ensemble was celebrating the 75th anniversary of the piece, which premiered at the estate, commissioned by Mildred Barnes Bliss. The Knights bring the form up to the present with Duet for Two Violins and Strings by Steve Reich, Concerto for Santur, Violin and Orchestra by Colin Jacobsen and Siamak Aghaei (both members of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble), and a collaborative piece, …The Ground Beneath Our Feet, which has variations on a ciaccona "ground bass line" by Baroque composer Tarquinio Merula. This is a wonderful souvenir of an evening of concerti old and new.
Aurora Orchestra, Roadtrip (Warner Classics, $16.99) – The Aurora Orchestra are a British ensemble, who have put together a wonderful celebration of American music. The centerpieces are John Adams's Chamber Symphony, and Aaron Copland, Appalachian Spring (in its original version for 13 Instruments), as well as Charles Ives's "The Housatonic at Stockbridge" from Three Places in New England. Interspersed are three songs arranged by Nico Muhly, and sung by Sam Amidon and Dawn Landes—the folk songs "Reynardine," and "The Brown Girl," and ending with Paul Simon's "Hearts and Bones."
Menahem Pressler & Quatuor Ebène, A 90th Birthday Celebration: Live in Paris (Erato, CD & DVD, $27.98) – Pianist Menahem Pressler (long associated with the Beaux Arts Trio) is still playing with his infectious enthusiasm. A 90th birthday concert, recorded live with the Ebène String Quartet, includes Dvořák's Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81, and the Schubert's Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667 ("Trout"). Also included is a DVD of the concert with additional performances—some Schubert songs with tenor Christoph Prégardien, and some encores presenting the quartet (in Debussy) and Pressler solo, playing Chopin.
Music DVD
Positive Force: More Than a Witness: 30 Years of Punk Politics in Action (PM Press, DVD, $19.95) – DC's punk music scene—with groups including Minor Threat, Rites of Spring, Bad Brains and Fugazi—was intimately entwined with the activist collective Positive Force, co-founded by Mark Andersen (who also co-wrote a DC punk history, Dance of Days). Many of the concerts over the years—held in churches and small clubs—were political benefits organized by Positive Force for organizations working with issues ranging from homelessness to environmentalism. Director Robin Bell's documentary, Positive Force, has great archival footage of live performances and new interviews covering 30 years of activism. Also included are other documentaries on the movement, from 1991 to 2014, with bonus performances.

Consuming large quantities of a key ingredient in beer can protect against winter sniffles and even some serious illnesses in small children, a Japanese brewery said citing a scientific study.
A chemical compound in hops, the plant brewers use to give beer its bitter taste, provides an effective guard against a virus that can cause severe forms of pneumonia and bronchitis in youngsters, Sapporo Breweries said.
In research with scientists at Sapporo Medical University, the compound -- humulone -- was found to be effective in curbing the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, said the company, which funded the study.
"The RS virus can cause serious pneumonia and breathing difficulties for infants and toddlers, but no vaccination is available at the moment to contain it," said Jun Fuchimoto, a researcher from the company.
The virus tends to spread in winter and can also cause cold-like symptoms in adults.
Fuchimoto said such small quantities of humulone were present in beer that someone would have to drink around 30 cans, each of 350 millilitres (12 oz), for it to have any virus-fighting effect.
"We are now studying the feasibility of applying humulone to food or non-alcoholic products," he said. "The challenge really is that the bitter taste is going to be difficult for children."
The research also found that humulone alleviated inflammation caused by infection from the virus, the brewery said.

Agreed. When Cleary, Sammy and Bert come of the books, we can actually play guys full time that deserve the spot!
I thought last year would teach Holland and Babcock that the youth movement was ready.
Unfortunately, it took a bunch of injuries to get guys like Sheahan or Jurco in the lineup. And Nyquist wasn't playing early on in the season, while old fools like Cleary, Bertuzzi and Sammy were getting gametime.
It's a blessing in disguise based on what happens next offseason. If it's more of the same, then it's hard to feel upbeat about the future. Holland and Babcock need to cut bait and not feel like loyalty should come before contribution.
I do like what I see from some of these youngsters, though.

The Books of Daniel
Published: September 21, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Bashir, it turned out, was the British-raised Omar Saeed Sheikh, who had spent six years in an Indian jail for the kidnapping of four foreign tourists who were to be exchanged for an imprisoned Kashmiri separatist. In December 1999, an Indian Airlines plane was hijacked to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and in return for the passengers' freedom the Indian government released Omar Sheikh.
''I keep wanting to know how the kidnappers got Danny into the car. He is such a cautious man,'' Mariane Pearl says to a Pakistani counterterrorism expert. ''Did they pull a gun on him? Hit him?'' The man answers patiently: ''Omar Sheikh is an expert. It is Danny who is being kidnapped for the first time. It is Omar Sheikh who has done it 10 times. There is a difference. Omar Sheikh has had a chance to learn from his mistakes. . . . After this, do you think Danny will ever be kidnapped again?''
Though Danny Pearl, as both authors point out, did not consider himself a war correspondent, in a way he was one: in a new kind of war characterized by an unparalleled dispersion of forces. As the modern battlefield expands and empties out, scattered bands of insurgents with increasing access to lethal weaponry hide in broad daylight in civilian areas. Lévy senses that Pearl reached his apotheosis as a reporter while in captivity, when he probably never stopped engaging his jailers, absorbing vital insights about their lives and intentions that could not be had at a safer distance. The 19th-century Prussian philosopher of war Karl von Clausewitz, a product of the Romantic Age, knew that cultural and historical knowledge of the enemy was more important than the elixirs of science and technology. In the cities of South Asia, suffused with the ''stench of the apocalypse,'' as Lévy puts it, Pearl was drinking up the sort of insights Clausewitz valued most.
Lévy's novelistic description of Pearl's death (the translation is by James X. Mitchell) leaves one roiled with emotions. If it was obscene to show the video of the execution, why does one need to read such a meticulously imagined account of it, however savvy it is in the atmospherics: the bleak neighborhood, empty soda cans, curved daggers of the executioners and the fumbling with the camcorder? Lévy's exploration of Pearl's loneliness and indomitable spirit in the moments before he is killed lends gravity to the passage, though.
The same cannot be said about ratings-hungry CBS, whose broadcast of part of the video had no redeeming feature. Mariane Pearl tells Andrew Hayward, the president of CBS News, that her husband's murderers ''appealed to your weakness, and you gave in.''
The news media have altered the strategic landscape. It is questionable whether there would be an incentive for such an execution had there been little likelihood of the video being broadcast -- just as the promise of incessant coverage inspires the perpetuation of violence in both Iraq and Israel. But the news media also included Pearl, who sought knowledge for the sake of analysis rather than mere sensation. As the battlefield of war evolves, journalists like him will be needed more.
