We know, we know: It's still cold outside, so why on earth would we be interested in outdoor fun? Because its officially spring, y'all! Hopefully this week's issue will send good vibes to Mother Nature. It's time for warm weather, the Phillies and new adventures. Enjoy!
In this issue:
Who needs to wait for summer? It's time right now to hit the streets for outdoor fun.
Mike is now one of several Philly trendsetters and tastemakers that locals can now spend a few hours getting to know during one of 15 different SideTours. What the hell is a SideTour? Basically, it's a one-of-a-kind experience, an opportunity to get out of your social bubble and explore the city through someone else's eyes.
But once in a while, it's nice to get out to Citizens Bank Park to watch a game from the stands. And depending on where you live, getting to the ballpark can be tricky.
Herbalist and confectioner Miche Bacher was there talking up her new book, Cooking With Flowers, set to be published April 2 by Philly-based Quirk Books. And while it sounds a bit like a Portlandia sketch gone horribly right, upon flipping through the book, PW had to admit that these floral recipes looked pretty damn sweet.

Article: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Southwellina hispida supports monophyly of Palaeacanthocephala (Acanthocephala: Polymorphida)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acanthocephala is a relatively small, but distinct obligate parasitic group that includes 4 classes Archiacanthocephala, Palaeacanthocephala, Polyacanthocephala, and Eoacanthocephala. The phylogenetic relationships of acanthocephalans are mainly based on nuclear ribosomal genes. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Southwellina hispida (Palaeacanthocephala: Polymorphida), and used this genome sequence along with other platyzoan species (including syndermatan groups) to assess its phylogenetic position within Acanthocephala. The S. hispida mtDNA is a 14,742bp circular molecule that contains 36 genes (lacking atp8) encoded in the same direction. Phylogenetic analyses of amino acid sequences for 12 protein-coding genes suggested palaeacanthocephalan species to be monophyletic, and this group to be sister to Eoacanthocephala. These results confirm other morphological and molecular data supporting Palaeacanthocephalan monophyly. Copyright © 2015.

Article: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Japanese fan lobster Ibacus ciliatus (Crustacea, Achelata, Scyllaridae).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Slipper lobsters are a unique group of decapod crustaceans; they have cylindrical or flattened bodies and belong to the family Scyllaridae. The genus Ibacus (Leach, 1815) (Achelata, Scyllaridae, Ibacinae) consists of eight recognized species to date, all of which occur in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean and are commercially important seafood species. The complete mitochondrial genome of the Japanese fan lobster Ibacus ciliatus (Von Siebold, 1824) is 15,696 bp in size and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region of 783 bp. The base composition of I. ciliatus is 35.8% A, 34.7% T, 19.0% C, and 10.5% G, with an overall AT content of 70.5%. The mitogenome of I. ciliatus was found to have gene arrangement and transcriptional polarity identical to that of the American lobster Homarus americanus, showing the pancrustacean ground pattern. Here, we present the complete mitogenome sequence of I. ciliatus; it is the first mitogenome information from the subfamily Ibacinae, and represents the second for the family Scyllaridae.Mitochondrial DNA 10/2014; DOI:10.3109/19401736.2014.971265 · 1.70 Impact Factor
Article: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Violet-spotted reef lobster Enoplometopus debelius (Crustacea, Astacidea, Enoplometopidae)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract The violet-spotted reef lobster Enoplometopus debelius Holthuis, 1983 (Decapoda, Astacidea, Enoplometopidae) is found in the tropical reef areas of the Indo-Pacific region, and is a highly prized and very popular species in the aquarium trade industry. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. debelius has 15,641 base pairs consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region of 746 bp. The base composition of E. debelius is 36.4% A, 35.3% T, 18.1% C, 10.3% G, and the species has an AT content of 71.7%. The E. debelius mitogenome was found to have a gene arrangement and transcriptional polarity identical to that of the Homarus americanus mitogenome, a representative of the arthropod ground pattern. Here, we present the complete mitogenome sequence of E. debelius, which is the first in the superfamily Enoplometopoidea. These data will provide a useful molecular resource for the phylogenetic study of the infraorder Astacidea/order Decapoda.Mitochondrial DNA 09/2014; DOI:10.3109/19401736.2014.963842 · 1.70 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The Federated States of Micronesia consists of four states of Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae, which are located in the West Pacific Ocean. In order to investigate molluscan fauna of Kosrae Island, field survey was made twice from 21st to 30th of January, 2011 and from 6th to 17th of January, 2012 for four localities including 10 intertidal and 14 subtidal zones of Kosrae Island. The mollusk samples collected were identified based on their morphological characteristics, comprising a total of 120 species from 30 families through this survey. In this study, we provided species list and illustrations for 120 species identified, and combined these with the previous record, resulting in a total of 208 species from 47 families in Kosrae Island.12/2013; 29(4).

Article: Comparison of complete mitochondrial genomes of pine wilt nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (Nematoda: Aphelenchoidea) and development of a molecular tool for species identification[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences for Bursaphelenchus mucronatus, one species of pinewood nematode. The genome is a circular-DNA molecule of 14,583bp (195bp smaller than its congener Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) and contains 12 protein-coding genes (lacking atp8), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes encoded in the same direction, consistent with most other nematodes. Based on sequence comparison of mtDNA genomes, we developed a PCR-based molecular assay to differentiate B. xylophilus (highly pathogenic) and B. mucronatus (relatively less virulent) using species-specific primers. The molecular identification system employs multiplex-PCR and is very effective and reliable for discriminating these Bursaphelenchus species, which are economically important, but difficult to distinguish based on morphology. The comparison of the mitochondrial genomes and molecular identification system of the two species of Bursaphelenchus spp. should provide a rich source of genetic information to support the effective control and management (quarantine) of the pine wilt disease caused by pinewood nematodes.Gene 02/2013; 520(1).

Article: Morphological Description of a Newly Recorded Strombus luhuanus (Strombidae: Gastropoda) from Korea[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Strombus Linn, 1758 is a genus of marine mollusks belonging to the class Gastropoda, and is distributed in the tropical waters of the world. Typically, the family Strombidae includes five extant genera (Strombus, Lambis, Terebellum, Tibia, and Rimella), all of which are mostly found in tropical waters. Five individuals of Strombus luhuanus Linn, 1758 were collected from Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do province for the first time. In this study, we describe details of shell morphology and radula characters of the species with scanning electron microscopy images of the radula. This is a new record of Strombus luhuanus Linn, 1758 from Korean waters.01/2013; 29(1). DOI:10.5635/ASED.2013.29.1.96
Article: The complete mitochondrial genome of the subarctic red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus (Decapoda, Anomura)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of the red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus (Decapoda, Anomura). P. camtschaticus is one of the largest arthropods and the most expensive commercially available gourmet seafood. The genome sequence of P. camtschaticus is 16,720 bp in size and its gene content, gene order, and transcriptional polarity are almost identical to those of the hermit crab Pagurus longicarpus, which is thought to be derived from a common ancestor. However, P. camtschaticus mtDNA showed tRNA translocation in two blocks compared to that of P. longicarpus. Prior to this study, complete mt genomes of only two species of Anomura have been reported. Thus, our genomic data will provide additional information for constructing the decapod phylogeny.Mitochondrial DNA 01/2013; 24(4). DOI:10.3109/19401736.2012.760555 · 1.70 Impact Factor
Article: Comparative analysis of complete mitochondrial genome sequences confirms independent origins of plant-parasitic nematodes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The nematode infraorder Tylenchomorpha (Class Chromadorea) includes plant parasites that are of agricultural and economic importance, as well as insect-associates and fungal feeding species. Among tylenchomorph plant parasites, members of the superfamily Tylenchoidea, such as root-knot nematodes, have great impact on agriculture. Of the five superfamilies within Tylenchomorpha, one (Aphelenchoidea) includes mainly fungal-feeding species, but also some damaging plant pathogens, including certain Bursaphelenchus spp. The evolutionary relationships of tylenchoid and aphelenchoid nematodes have been disputed based on classical morphological features and molecular data. For example, similarities in the structure of the stomatostylet suggested a common evolutionary origin. In contrast, phylogenetic hypotheses based on nuclear SSU ribosomal DNA sequences have revealed paraphyly of Aphelenchoidea, with, for example, fungal-feeding Aphelenchus spp. within Tylenchomorpha, but Bursaphelenchus and Aphelenchoides spp. more closely related to infraorder Panagrolaimomorpha. We investigated phylogenetic relationships of plant-parasitic tylenchoid and aphelenchoid species in the context of other chromadorean nematodes based on comparative analysis of complete mitochondrial genome data, including two newly sequenced genomes from Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Aphelenchoidea) and Pratylenchus vulnus (Tylenchoidea). RESULTS: The complete mitochondrial genomes of B. xylophilus and P. vulnus are 14,778 bp and 21,656 bp, respectively, and identical to all other chromadorean nematode mtDNAs in that they contain 36 genes (lacking atp8) encoded in the same direction. Their mitochondrial protein-coding genes are biased toward use of amino acids encoded by T-rich codons, resulting in high A+T richness. Phylogenetic analyses of both nucleotide and amino acid sequence datasets using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods did not support B. xylophilus as most closely related to Tylenchomorpha (Tylenchoidea). Instead, B. xylophilus, was nested within a strongly supported clade consisting of species from infraorders Rhabditomorpha, Panagrolaimomorpha, Diplogasteromorpha, and Ascaridomorpha. The clade containing sampled Tylenchoidea (P. vulnus, H. glycines, and R. similis) was sister to all analyzed chromadoreans. Comparison of gene arrangement data was also consistent with the phylogenetic relationships as inferred from sequence data. Alternative tree topologies depicting a monophyletic grouping of B. xylophilus (Aphelenchoidea) plus Tylenchoidea, Tylenchoidea plus Diplogasteromorpha (Pristionchus pacificus), or B. xylophilus plus Diplogasteromorpha were significantly worse interpretations of the mtDNA data. CONCLUSIONS: Phylogenetic trees inferred from nucleotide and amino acid sequences of mtDNA coding genes are in agreement that B. xylophilus (the single representative of Aphelenchoidea) is not closely related to Tylenchoidea, indicating that these two groups of plant parasites do not share an exclusive most recent common ancestor, and that certain morphological similarities between these stylet-bearing nematodes must result from convergent evolution. In addition, the exceptionally large mtDNA genome size of P. vulnus, which is the largest among chromadorean nematode mtDNAs sequenced to date, results from lengthy repeated segments in non-coding regions.BMC Evolutionary Biology 01/2013; 13(1):12.

Article: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Japanese ghost shrimp Nihonotrypaea japonica (Crustacea, Decapoda, Axiidea)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of the Japanese ghost shrimp Nihonotrypaea japonica (Ortmann 1891) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Axiidea). The N. japonica mt genome is first represented in infraorder Axiidea, which, together with infraorder Gebiidea, belonged to infraorder Thalassinidea until recently. The genome sequence of N. japonica is 15,274 bp in size, and the gene arrangement and transcriptional polarity are partially different from that of the Japanese mud shrimp, Upogebia major, which belongs to the infraorder Gebiidea. We present the mt genome of N. japonica, which could provide useful molecular information to construct a stable classification for infraorder Thalassinidea and to better understand the phylogenetic relationship of Thalassinidea with other decapod groups.Mitochondrial DNA 01/2013; 24(3).

Article: Development of single-nucleotide polymorphism-based phylum-specific PCR amplification technique: application to the community analysis using ciliates as a reference organism.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite recent advance in mass sequencing technologies such as pyrosequencing, assessment of culture-independent microbial eukaryote community structures using universal primers remains very difficult due to the tremendous richness and complexity of organisms in these communities. Use of a specific PCR marker targeting a particular group would provide enhanced sensitivity and more in-depth evaluation of microbial eukaryote communities compared to what can be achieved with universal primers. We discovered that many phylum-or groupspecific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) exist in small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes from diverse eukaryote groups. By applying this discovery to a known simple allele-discriminating (SAP) PCR method, we developed a technique that enables the identification of organisms belonging to a specific higher taxonomic group (or phylum) among diverse types of eukaryotes. We performed an assay using two complementary methods, pyrosequencing and clone library screening. In doing this, specificities for the group (ciliates) targeted in this study in bulked environmental samples were 94.6% for the clone library and 99.2% for pyrosequencing, respectively. In particular, our novel technique showed high selectivity for rare species, a feature that may be more important than the ability to identify quantitatively predominant species in community structure analyses. Additionally, our data revealed that a target-specific library (or ciliate-specific one for the present study) can better explain the ecological features of a sampling locality than a universal library.Moleculer Cells 09/2012; 34:383–391.

ABSTRACT: The Cymatium Roding, 1798 is a small- to large-sized marine gastropod genus. Three species has been reported thus far for Cymatium in the Korean waters. In general, Cymatium encausticum (Reeve, 1844) is known to occur in tropical seawaters including the Philippine Islands along with its congeners C. gutturnium, C. springsteeni, and C. exile. A single individual of the species was collected from Jejudo Island by SCUBA diving and morphological features were observed using a stereomicroscope. This is the first study to report the occurrence of Cymatium encausticum (Reeve, 1844) from the Korean waters, providing a detailed description of the species with the illustration for the shell morphology.07/2012; 28(3).

Article: The complete mitochondrial genome of an ectoparasitic monopisthocotylean fluke Benedenia hoshinai (Monogenea: Platyhelminthes).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An exponential growth of mitochondrial genome information has brought significant progress in understanding the organismal phylogeny and mitochondrial genome evolution for many metazoans including platyhelminth groups. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence for Benedenia hoshinai, an ectoparasitic monogenean species, and compared it with its congener Benedenia seriolae. The complete mitochondrial genome is 13,554 bp in length and contains 12 protein-coding genes (lacking the atp8 gene), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes, all encoded in the same direction as found in all other platyhelminth species sequenced to date. The gene arrangement of B. hoshinai mtDNA is almost identical to B. seriolae, differing only by the translocation of trnT between cox1 and rrnL. It is unclear whether the shared position of trnT between B. hoshinai and Gyrodactylus represents evidence for their phylogenetic affinity; testing this hypothesis requires further mitogenomic evidence.Mitochondrial DNA 05/2012; 23(3):176-8.

ABSTRACT: A major concern regarding the collection and storage of biodiversity information is the inefficiency of conventional taxonomic approaches in dealing with a large number of species. This inefficiency has increased the demand for automated, rapid, and reliable molecular identification systems and large-scale biological databases. DNA-based taxonomic approaches are now arguably a necessity in biodiversity studies. In particular, DNA barcoding using short DNA sequences provides an effective molecular tool for species identification. We constructed a large-scale database system that holds a collection of 5531 barcode sequences from 2429 Korean species. The Korea Barcode of Life database (KBOL, http://koreabarcode.org) is a web-based database system that is used for compiling a high volume of DNA barcode data and identifying unknown biological specimens. With the KBOL system, users can not only link DNA barcodes and biological information but can also undertake conservation activities, including environmental management, monitoring, and detecting significant organisms.
Article: Complete mitochondrial genome of the northern mauxia shrimp Acetes chinensis (Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata, Sergestoidae).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of northern mauxia shrimp Acetes chinensis (Decapoda, Dendrobranchiata, Sergestoidae). The genome sequence was 15,740 bp in size, and the gene content, gene order and transcriptional polarity were almost identical to the pancrustacean ground pattern, with the one exception that an extra trnS(1)(AGC) was adjacent to the original trnS(1)(AGA). The two tandemly duplicated trnS(1) showed a high sequence similarity (82.3%), with almost identical secondary structure lacking a DHU arm. Comparison of codon usage suggests that both of the trnS(1) genes were functional.Mitochondrial DNA 02/2012; 23(1):28-30. DOI:10.3109/19401736.2011.643878 · 1.70 Impact Factor
Article: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Oncicola luehei (Acanthocephala: Archiacanthocephala) and its phylogenetic position within Syndermata[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Oncicola luehei (14,281bp), the first archiacanthocephalan representative and the second complete sequence from the phylum Acanthocephala. The complete genome contains 36 genes including 12 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rrnL and rrnS) as reported for other syndermatan species. All genes are encoded on the same strand. The overall nucleotide composition of O. luehei mtDNA is 37.7% T, 29.6% G, 22.5% A, and 10.2% C. The overall A+T content (60.2%) is much lower, compared to other syndermatan species reported so far, due to the high frequency (18.3%) of valine encoded by GTN in its protein-coding genes. Results from phylogenetic analyses of amino acid sequences for 10 protein-coding genes from 41 representatives of major metazoan groups including O. luehei supported monophyly of the phylum Acanthocephala and of the clade Syndermata (Acanthocephala+Rotifera), and the paraphyly of the clade Eurotatoria (classes Bdelloidea+Monogononta from phylum Rotifera). Considering the position of the acanthocephalan species within Syndermata, it is inferred that obligatory parasitism characteristic of acanthocephalans was acquired after the common ancestor of acanthocephalans diverged from its sister group, Bdelloidea. Additional comparison of complete mtDNA sequences from unsampled acanthocephalan lineages, especially classes Polyacanthocephala and Eoacanthocephala, is required to test if mtDNA provides reliable information for the evolutionary relationships and pattern of life history diversification found in the syndermatan groups.Parasitology International 12/2011; 61(2):307-16.

Article: Monophyly of clade III nematodes is not supported by phylogenetic analysis of complete mitochondrial genome sequences[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The orders Ascaridida, Oxyurida, and Spirurida represent major components of zooparasitic nematode diversity, including many species of veterinary and medical importance. Phylum-wide nematode phylogenetic hypotheses have mainly been based on nuclear rDNA sequences, but more recently complete mitochondrial (mtDNA) gene sequences have provided another source of molecular information to evaluate relationships. Although there is much agreement between nuclear rDNA and mtDNA phylogenies, relationships among certain major clades are different. In this study we report that mtDNA sequences do not support the monophyly of Ascaridida, Oxyurida and Spirurida (clade III) in contrast to results for nuclear rDNA. Results from mtDNA genomes show promise as an additional independently evolving genome for developing phylogenetic hypotheses for nematodes, although substantially increased taxon sampling is needed for enhanced comparative value with nuclear rDNA. Ultimately, topological incongruence (and congruence) between nuclear rDNA and mtDNA phylogenetic hypotheses will need to be tested relative to additional independent loci that provide appropriate levels of resolution. For this comparative phylogenetic study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of three nematode species, Cucullanus robustus (13,972 bp) representing Ascaridida, Wellcomia siamensis (14,128 bp) representing Oxyurida, and Heliconema longissimum (13,610 bp) representing Spirurida. These new sequences were used along with 33 published nematode mitochondrial genomes to investigate phylogenetic relationships among chromadorean orders. Phylogenetic analyses of both nucleotide and amino acid sequence datasets support the hypothesis that Ascaridida is nested within Rhabditida. The position of Oxyurida within Chromadorea varies among analyses; in most analyses this order is sister to the Ascaridida plus Rhabditida clade, with representative Spirurida forming a distinct clade, however, in one case Oxyurida is sister to Spirurida. Ascaridida, Oxyurida, and Spirurida (the sampled clade III taxa) do not form a monophyletic group based on complete mitochondrial DNA sequences. Tree topology tests revealed that constraining clade III taxa to be monophyletic, given the mtDNA datasets analyzed, was a significantly worse result. The phylogenetic hypotheses from comparative analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome data (analysis of nucleotide and amino acid datasets, and nucleotide data excluding 3rd positions) indicates that nematodes representing Ascaridida, Oxyurida and Spirurida do not share an exclusive most recent common ancestor, in contrast to published results based on nuclear ribosomal DNA. Overall, mtDNA genome data provides reliable support for nematode relationships that often corroborates findings based on nuclear rDNA. It is anticipated that additional taxonomic sampling will provide a wealth of information on mitochondrial genome evolution and sequence data for developing phylogenetic hypotheses for the phylum Nematoda.BMC Genomics 08/2011; 12:392.

ABSTRACT: We determined a full-length sequence of mitochondrial (mt) genome from Upogebia major. This is the first complete mt genome report for infraorder Thalassinidea in Decapoda, Crustacea. Our result showed that U. major generally followed a typical pancrustacean gene order but some tRNA genes showed a very unique gene arrangement such as duplication or translocation. Since none of the complete mt genome sequences in the infraorder Thalassinidea are available yet, this report will provide additional information in relation to mt genome diversity and evolution of the decapods.Mitochondrial DNA 08/2011; 22(4):94-6.

March 23, 2015
After reaching record levels in 2013, United States imports of biomass-based diesel fuel (both biodiesel and renewable diesel) fell 36 percent, to 333 million gallons in 2014.
March 4, 2015
Alternative fuels and powertrains will work if an organization's top people favor the concepts, speakers said at Tuesday's Green Truck Summit ahead of the NTEA Work Truck Show.
January 15, 2015
Total U.S. biodiesel consumption fell to 1.75 billion gallons in 2014, down slightly from nearly 1.8 billion gallons in 2013, according to data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
October 29, 2014
Dirty diesel? Dangerous natural gas? Expensive propane stations? Some myths and misconceptions about alternative fuels were debunked in a fun late-night talk show format Wednesday at the Green Fleet Conference in Schaumburg, Ill.
October 6, 2014
The Asia-Pacific region will see the strongest growth in the use of ethanol and biodiesel by 2018, according to a report by London-based analyst Frost & Sullivan.
September 12, 2014
The face of biofuels is changing, and more than one company is responsible.
August 28, 2014
After running nine months behind schedule, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency submitted its final rule for the 2014 renewable fuel standard to the White House.
July 7, 2014
Optimus claims its Vector Vector bi-fuel conversion system can reduce fleet fuel costs up to 25% and lifecycle emissions up to 80% without the prohibitive start-up costs of compressed natural gas (CNG).
June 30, 2014
Starting Tuesday, Minnesota, the first state to require biodiesel be blended with diesel sold in the state, will require all diesel fuel in the state to contain 10% biodiesel.
May 15, 2014
Biodiesel producers say policy setbacks in Washington are taking a major toll on their business and they point to a new survey released Wednesday as proof.
April 2, 2014
The Ontario, Canada government has issued new regulations imposing a provincial biodiesel mandate that came into force April 1.
February 18, 2014
Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in the U.S. to reinstate a tax incentive that expired at the end of 2013 when it comes to the production of domestic biodiesel fuel.
January 3, 2014
Congress has allowed a biodiesel tax incentive to lapse at year's end. The $1-per-gallon biodiesel tax incentive expired on Dec. 31. The biodiesel incentive also expired in 2010 and 2012.
December 5, 2013
Biodiesel producers continue to challenge the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to cut the volume of renewable fuels next year. At a Thursday hearing, producers told the agency that the planned cutback threatens investments that already have been made and could lead to layoffs.
November 18, 2013
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to cut the volume of renewable fuels next year. The agency is required to set annual standards for cellulosic, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel and total renewables. It gave two reasons why it needs to reduce the percentage of these fuels next year.
October 7, 2013
Minnesota is moving toward increasing the amount of biodiesel that's blended into diesel fuel sold in the state during the warmer months of the year.
October 3, 2013
While natural gas has pushed its way to center stage in the alternative fuels discussion, the investment in equipment and infrastructure make it less than appealing to many fleets. However, anyone who is currently running on diesel fuel can easily switch to a greener alternative without that type of up-front investment. They simply have to fill up their fuel tank with biodiesel.
September 19, 2013
Truck drivers supposedly knew of an alleged fuel scheme involving fraud in biofuels was going on but may not have said a word.
September 9, 2013
New York City has passed a new law requires the City fleet to use a B5 biodiesel blend in its vehicles beginning July 1, 2014 and a B20 blend starting July 1, 2016, from April to November each year, according to the Renewable Energy Group. This new law will affect approximately 6,000 vehicles, according to REG.

Tigers close in on Wessel Jooste
ESPN Staff
August 14, 2012
Wessel Jooste storms forward for Bourgoin © Getty Images
Leicester Tigers boss Richard Cockerill is contemplating adding another back-row to the mix with Wessel Jooste currently on trial at the Aviva Premiership side.
Cockerill has brought in former Gloucester flanker Brett Deacon and London Irish back-rower Richard Thorpe in recent weeks and admits he is open to the idea of signing Jooste as well. They have the likes of Thomas Waldrom, Julian Salvi and Jordan Crane fit but have worries over the fitness of Tom Croft and Craig Newby.
Deacon, Thorpe and Crane started against Jersey last weekend but with Bourgoin in the midst of an uncertain time, their back-rower Jooste may well be added to the Tigers mix. "He's [Jooste] been on trial with us," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester. "But he's one who is sorting out whether he can get into the country from a visa and work permit point.
"He's very big, athletic and strong. He's played all across the back row for Bourgoin, and lock. He's certainly someone who if all of the pieces of the jigsaw fit into place could be a possibility."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Peewees to play puck only
One-sided Hockey Canada vote sees bodychecking eliminated
CHARLOTTETOWN -- The game of hockey will soon change for peewee-level players across the country after a vote by Hockey Canada on Saturday that banned bodychecking.
Hockey Canada's board of directors overwhelmingly voted to eliminate bodychecking for peewee players at its annual general meeting in Charlottetown on Saturday, with only the Saskatchewan Hockey Association voting against.
The decision comes in the same month that both Hockey Alberta and Hockey Nova Scotia did away with bodychecking for its peewee players, who are usually 11 and 12 years old. Quebec had also previously banned it.
Debate over when to allow players to start hitting has inflamed emotions on both sides of the argument for years.
But research that came out of Alberta last year showed there was a three-fold increase in the risk of injuries for peewee players who check in Alberta, compared to those in Quebec where bodychecking is not allowed until bantam.
Paul Carson, vice-president of hockey development for Hockey Canada, said safety was a key factor in the board's decision. He said reaction at the meeting was mixed, but most thought it was the right move.
"While some would be reluctant because of their traditional beliefs of the game, they also understood that the safety and the area of skill development were critical issues to consider," said Carson on Saturday.
Kelly McClintock, general manager of the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, maintains that bodychecking is a skill that should be taught to children as young and eight and nine.
"Our membership has always been very strongly in favour of having bodychecking as early as possible," he said. "It's always been a pretty emotional discussion."
He said the association was disappointed, but not surprised that the motion passed.
The changes will take effect in the upcoming 2013-14 hockey season, which begins in September.
Hockey Canada said the board has agreed to develop a bodychecking standard for coaching, to be implemented in the 2014-15 season.
But McClintock says that's putting "the cart before the horse."
"For us it was probably a little bit more of a concern over the process, that it happened very quickly in the last three weeks to a month," said McClintock. "I think we have to look at the process that we follow when we're going to do something like this."
Halifax Mooseheads coach Dominique Ducharme, who is in Saskatoon for the MasterCard Memorial Cup, noted that 11- and 12-year-old kids can vary drastically in size.
"The more the players at a younger age can work on their skills, beside wondering about getting body checked and body weight and height difference, I think maybe (in) the long run it might just help develop players with even better skills," he said.
But Mooseheads forward Stefan Fournier said bodychecking teaches players an important aspect of the game at an younger age.
"When you're a peewee hockey player the game's not as fast. It teaches you to learn to keep your head up when you're skating around. That kind of stuff does limit head injuries," said Fournier, a day before hitting the ice at the Memorial Cup final against the Portland Winterhawks.
"The game's fast and if you have your head down for a split second you can get caught."

Even as the nation mourns the death of the Delhi gangrape victim, an 18-year-old girl alleged Saturday she was abused by her father and elder brother in their Dombivli home for two years.
A friend found the girl crying at Dombivli Railway Station Friday night and asked her the reason.
After the victim confided, the friend's social activist-mother took her to police and lodged a complaint.
Her photographer-father Mahesh Tasat (50) and brother Hardik (20), employed at a watch shop in Dadar, were arrested from their home on Phadke Road in Dombivli (East) Saturday morning.
"We have registered an offence under IPC sections 34 (acts by several persons in furtherance of common intention), 376 (rape) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace). The accused were produced before a magistrate and remanded in police custody till January 3.
"The father and brother clearly cooperated, so we have added section 34," said assistant commissioner of police Rajan Ghule.
Police said the victim's parents divorced two years ago and her mother lived in Ghatkopar.
They said Mahesh allegedly began abusing his daughter soon after the divorce in October 2010. He allegedly raped her repeatedly and threatened her with dire consequences if she did not keep her mouth shut.
Hardik was aware of the abuse but did not object or speak about it to anyone, police said.
In October this year, he too allegedly began raping the girl. Police said Mahesh was aware that Hardik had begun to rape his sister but did not stop him.
The victim allegedly told police she dropped out of school after class 10 and was not stopped from stepping out as long as she remained silent about the abuse.
Police said she decided to speak out after the Delhi gangrape outrage.

Chipotle plans price increases
The Mexican food chain said Thursday that it would raise prices for the first time in three years as its popularity continues to soar. Menu boards with the new prices should start rolling out in coming weeks and be in place at all restaurants by this summer.
Executives have said in the past they were considering a hike of about 3 percent to 5 percent. That translates to an extra 24 cents to 50 cents for an $8 burrito bowl.
Jack Hartung, Chipotle's chief financial officer, said during a conference call with analysts that price is not the main reason customers visit its restaurants anyway.
"Most of the value comes from the experience," he said.
Hartung also noted that the company had earned "permission" from customers to raise prices because of that experience. And if needed, he said Chipotle still had the leeway to further raise prices without scaring off customers.
"We've still got room," he said.
The decision comes as higher costs for beef, avocados and cheese have pressured profit margins for the chain, with net income for the first quarter coming in below Wall Street expectations. Still, Chipotle said sales at established locations rose 13.4 percent during the period and it raised its outlook for the year. It now expects the sales figure to grow in the high-single digits, before factoring in the price hikes.
The Denver-based chain's popularity has surged in recent years because people like that they watch as they tell workers what toppings to put on their orders. The chain has also invested in marketing to build up its reputation as higher-quality alternative to places like Burger King and Wendy's.
Those traditional fast-food chains have struggled to grow sales as customers increasingly flock to foods they feel are fresh or higher in quality. In contrast to Chipotle, for instance, McDonald's has said it needs to focus on underscoring the value it offers.
McDonald's CEO Don Thompson has also noted that there is a bit of "bifurcation" in the fast-food industry, with better-off customers heading to the new breed of chains that charge more.
For the three months ended March 31, Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. said net income rose 8 percent to $83.1 million, or $2.64 per share. That's up from $76.6 million, or $2.45 per share, a year ago. Analysts expected $2.86 per share, according to FactSet.
Revenue climbed a stronger-than-expected 24 percent to $904.2 million.
Chipotle has also been expanding rapidly. It opened 44 restaurants during the quarter and plans to open 180 to 195 restaurants during all of 2014. It already has more than 1,600 locations.
Its shares fell $22.96, or 4.2 percent, to $529.44 in afternoon trading. Its shares are up almost 70 percent since a year ago.

The Takeaway: Debt Talks Cont'd.; Heat Wave
Posted By Tina Johnson-Marcel On July 12, 2011 @ 7:54 am In Bulletin Today | No Comments
Still far apart: Despite a looming deadline and mounting pressure to "get it done," President Obama yesterday said he was not interested in any temporary "stopgap" solution to the debt ceiling problem."That is just not an acceptable approach. So we might as well do it now. Pull off the Band-Aid." Although the president wouldn't get into specifics, it was clear that Social Security reforms are still on the bargaining table. … What happens if Congress fails to raise the debt limit by August 2? We've been here before, sort of.
… Be careful, it's hot out there. About 23 states are under heat advisories this week as temperatures are expected to soar to 115 degrees. (A 51-year-old man in Granite City, Ill., died Sunday due to the excessive heat.) As Candy Sagon pointed out last summer, more Americans die from heat-related illnesses "than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined." And it's worse for older people. How to protect yourself during this latest heat wave.
… Medicare anti-fraud system launched. Federal officials launched a nationwide computer system to weed out falsified Medicare claims. Florida is the first state to test the new program. How does it work? From the LATimes: "It works much like credit-card systems that raise alerts about suspicious purchases – such as 20 pairs of shoes or unusually large sales – to help block criminals from using stolen cards or IDs."… Drive to stem shingles among older people fails to meet goals. …
… One-third of American adults are using a smartphone, says a new Pew study. Are you connected? These apps can make your life a little easier. … More on Betty Ford's legacy. From SecondAct: How the former first lady changed the world and helped boomers confront their demons.

S.t.Futura 'Kristi'
S. Futura 'Kristi' is a new and very hot plant. I found this picture of it on the internet. It is a reminder, maybe even an equivalent, to its full grown sister, 'Lillian True'. If any reader has a pup they could part with from a mother plant that looks as good as the one in this picture, maybe we can get together )). Hopefully, the big box stores will begin to carry it like they did with F. 'Gold Flame' and Futura 'Black Gold'.
I'll be on the lookout for a Kristi, if I find it, I will grab one for you.
When I was looking around the web for Kristi, I ran across another new one, Wintergreen. I think they have just applied for a patent. Described as having Bantels Sensation as a parent. I wasn't really impressed. Here's a pic. This from Charlie Cook.
Wintergreen, Looking so much like a plain trifasciata. So what was suposed to be the difference?
I have what 'we called extra strips' which may or may not be Kristi is not near as beauitful as what you showed. It is just a little highter than the hahnii class. Maybe only 10 inches tallest.
If you want one of mine. It's ok.
Stush, I never saw 'Wintergreen' in person, but from what I can see it is a full size trifasciata and all the leaves have alternating gray bands (some people call this 'blue'). I think this is a different look than the typical trifasciata, especially if the gray never morphs into another shade or color. Personally, I like it better than the typical old fashion species variety; it looks "cold".
I think the Futura you showed above is 'Gold Flame', Stush. G.F. has much more green tissue showing, and does not have the extra wide yellow margins that 'Kristi' has,
Thanks, Barb. If you guys see this 'Kristi', remember your old buddy here in the siberia of sansevieriadom. ))
Here is another 'Gold Flame' looking simular to Kristi. It is being sold in EBay. $10 not too bad but another $20 in shipping is. Here's the link;
I'll keep on the look out here in PA.

Quick Tip
Is your baby crying non-stop? Crying is a normal part of child development. If you've checked to see why your baby is crying – wet diaper, hungry, needs a good cuddle – and he's still crying, it's okay to let him cry for a bit, then try again to soothe him. Crying can be stressful but it's not your fault!

30" Gas Ranges: Porter & Charles/Viking/GE Monogram
Went shopping yesterday. We live about 3 hours from Toronto, so we don't "get to the city" very often.
The place we went to had these 3 ranges to offer within our budget. The more we learn, the less sure we are of what to choose.
Viking VGCC5304BS $3999
Porter&Charles FEG76B $2999
GE Monogram ZGP304NRSS $3859
We haven't looked at the Kitchen Aid - that store didn't carry them.
Can't find any user reviews on the P&C. (it is made by AEG)
We would like to make a decision soon.
The P&C has stainless under the burners for clean up. The other 2 have black enamelled steel.
GE has a self cleaning cycle, P&C has continuous, Viking none. P&C has 5 burners, the others 4.
Any info good or bad you have on these or any others we should look at will really be appreciated.
The Viking appears to have the best burner configuration; an 18K BTU burner and three simmer-to-15K BTU burners. That will keep you from moving pots around. No self clean oven is a bummer. I've heard rumors, but no specifics, about issues with Viking 30" ranges though.
Not familiar with P&C, but some of the burners look a little under powered. Just my opinion, but I think 5 burners on a 30" cooktop is crowded, at least when you have something on the center burner and something on any other burner.
The GE burner config is not bad. All burners appear to go low enough to simmer, but it only has one high output burner. I actually considered the GE Monogram duel fuel version of the 30", but the pricing I was offered was much higher than what you were quoted.
The historic German appliance manufacture ,AEG, ceased operations in 1996.
In 2005, Sweden's Electrolux purchased the brand name out of bankruptcy court.
Electrolux allows other manufactures to make appliances using the brand name AEG under license.
The best deal in Canada for a 30" gas range is the Bluestar RCS from Costco Canada. It has open burners that direct heat to the bottom of the pan instead of sealed burners that direct heat to the side and up. Its 15k btu burners will outperform Vikings sealed 18 btu burners.
$2400 shipping included. Bluestar is headquartered and manufactures ranges in Reading, PA. USA
Here is a link that might be useful: Costco Canada
Scole, it is pretty hard to quantify how low burners can go - simmer depends on the conductivity of the pan and other factors. When properly adjusted, the 15 k BS burners go pretty low, the dedicated simmer goes even lower. There are some youtube videos that show the various burners, but again, there is no real rating system that will tell you how low a heat a burner can put out.
This is what Costco is offering here: NXR 30-in. 4-burner Stainless Steel Professional Gas Range for $1800. No Bluestar.
Thoughts on that?
I'm not deeageaux, but numbers of us here have purchased NXRs. There are several long and detailed threads discussing the pros & cons of the brand. Well worth reading if you are interested.
Basically, the NXRs are the least expensive pro-style range you can buy in the US. Deeageuax was initially a pretty harsh critic of the early NXR's because of suspicion that it might be cheap Chinese crapola. For the most part, I think he agress \that NXRs have been pretty fine stoves for the money.
And "for the money" is the critical phrase here. I think Deeageuax will agree that the NXRs are aimed at a different market segment than the Blue Stars. Think of the Blue Star as a Dodge diesel pick-up while the NXRs are more akin to a Subaru Forester or maybe a Hyundai sedan.
Maybe a little less extreme than those differences, but you get the idea. Actually, I think the NXR does compete with some pro-style ranges but the competiton is with the sealed burner premium brands like Viking and Dacor and Maybe DCS rather than open-burner ranges like Blue-Star and AR.
Again, I invite you to read the long threads (some going back to 2009) which are pretty informative. I've been happy with my NXR for the year and half since I got mine from Costco, but it does have some limitations that may or may not matter to you.
Basic differences between the NXR and Blue Star --- other than price --- different tops (cast-iron on the Blue Star but plain stainless steel on the NXR), differnt burners (BS with potentially higher-powered open-star pattern burners, NXR with "dual stacked" sealed burners) and oven size (Blue Star has one of the larger oven capacities available in a 30" range -- can fit a full size 16x26 sheet pan) while the NXR is more akin to the ovens in Electrolux ranges. Also, Blue Star has something of a fanboy cult following which the NXR lacks. (But, come to think of it, I don't think I've run across fanboy cults for Hyundai's either. That may be an advantage to being a bit down-market.)
Actually, for me, with a $2k stove budget, the competitors for the NXR were induction ranges and GE Profile gas ranges. Except for not having a self-cleaning oven, I like my NXR more than its predecessor, a GE Profile dual fuel.
While most reviews of the NXR have been very postive --- kind of a Subaru/sensible shoes crowd --- there have been some complaints. Most of the complaints about the NXR seem --- so far --- to be the result of shipping damage and uneven warranty service. Experiences have ranged from just fine to abysmal. Read bmorpanic's woeful saga of trying to get the company to fix or replace an obvious case of shipping damage -- a tale bad enough that recently got her stove bought back and is getting a Dacor. There are plenty of us who haven't had such problems, but caution tells me that I would buy a small brand stove only from a vendor like Coscto who has an absolute satisfaction, full money-back guarantee.
I do not mean to suggest that Blue Star has been immune from these kinds of warranty problems. Do a search and you'll find that there are some postings here from very unhappy owners,
Thank you so much for your response. I only looked at BS because I thought costco sold them. I just finished reading all of the Bmore threads (and I thought I was going to bed early!) What a saga! But I couldn't stop reading. So nice that she had support here!
If I order one I will know what to look for during the inspection.
PS. JWVideo, I drive a Subaru Forester!
What about the Electrolux Icon DF 30"? 4 racks?
Don't have any first hand experience with the Elux, but the specs and pictures definitely seem to have taken aim at Viking's market share. At $3700, it isabout what I would pay for a ten-year old forester with $140,000 miles on it. It is twice the price of the NXR.
Looked at AJ Madison and got the following initial impressions. Seems to have the same size oven as the NXR but, being electric, has more options and features inclding self-cleaning. Nice racks. Of course, as Deeageaux has often pointed out, the extra oven electronics mean there is more to break and what breaks will be more expensive to fix.(With the NXR, most of what will wear out is stuff you can fix yourself with off-the-shelf generic components available from a local parts house).
From the photos at AJ Madison, it seems as though the top is either black painted or black ceramic rather than cast iron. Some poeple like that design, other do not. Apparently, the surface burnes can be lighted with a match in the event of power outages. (The unpowered electronics on some less expensive Icons prevented that, as some found out in the wake of the infamous Sandy.)

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — An Orlando television station has issued an on-air explanation for why it's airing the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars while many NFL fans probably would have preferred seeing the Denver Broncos-New York Giants game, a possible Super Bowl preview featuring the Peyton and Eli Manning.
WKMG TV issued the scrolled message on Sunday. It read that NFL policy states the station must carry all Jags away games. At the end the message said: "We apologize for any inconvenience."
Viewers then took to Twitter to remark on what many saw as an apology from the station.
