Reflecting, Sharing, Learning announces Dust Collectors series, starting Jan. 24 with "Quilts: The Tapestry of Life"
Quilts are passed down from generation to generation like the treasured keepsakes they are. In the stitching we can see the handiwork of our ancestors, and imagine them sitting by a window working on piecing together something to keep their children and grandchildren warm for a century or more.
Reflecting, Sharing, Learning presents, for the first in its Dust Collectors series, Quilting: The Tapestry of Life. At 2:30 on Saturday afternoon, January 24, quilt archivist and historian Madeline Hawley will host an "Antiques Roadshow"-style event, where the public is invited to bring a favorite quilt from home and learn about its history and value. The event will take place in Multipurpose Room A in the library, and Mary Walker from the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum will give a lecture in the Appleton Auditorium immediately preceding it at 1:30 p.m.
A collection of antique quilts owned by Ms Hawley and other members of the Cotton Patch Quilters may be seen in the Heritage Room Quiet Gallery on the second floor of the library. The exhibition will be available for viewing from January 20–February 20. For more information, visit www.RSLathens.org or call (706) 613-3650, ext. 343.

This is a well though out little kit. Almost every lead or adapter the average user would need is in the kit. The organizer/pouch is good enough I wish Sears sold them individually as I would buy them for organizing other small tools.
via sears.com
These are decent quality test leads (that's why only 4 stars). We use them in our classroom training sessions for engineers (things get broken or misplaced and these are adequate quality for the classroom). The folding case is just right for storage as well as quick inventory before we pack everything up at the end of a class.

just to check the voltage on a battery used to be a chore. Hold the meter with one hand, hold the battery with the other, hold the positive probe with another, and hold the negative probe with the last. Wait, I don't have have 4 hands! Seriously though, this lead kit makes all of my tasks with my meter easier. Right tool for the right job=safe, efficient, and effective work. Storage pouch makes for a very nice bonus. No more searching for parts.

Too bad these don't fit some of the Craftsman meters out there. However, they do fit my Fluke 117. Comes in a nice tri-fold case with three individual see through plastic pockets which are securely shut with velcro. For the hobbyist these will fit my needs fine. So far so good.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Involver in February 2012.Interview Details
Besides talking with the recruiter, there were 2 45 minute technical interviews, both with a lot of questions. I wish they had those as written tests, wording answers on the phone and struggling with dry mouth and choppy connection next to one ear (not even Skype) is a very strange setting to test technical knowledge. Not to mention that if the standard depends on an interviewer, it makes it highly subjective of a test.
For the first interview, I will refer to the other interview posted (the Entry level position). It was with a software developer, similar questions, only didn't feel difficult. The interviewer wasn't a perfectionist and was happy with just right answers.
The second interview was with a director and didn't feel the same. The questions were rather simple, but he kept digging about every question he asked, requiring more and more, like until the candidate gives up and says they don't know more. No pasaran! May be, he wanted the answers to match exactly and comprehensively to the answers on his cheat sheet. I didn't have an impression I did badly and that he gave up on me, only it was unpleasant and my tongue felt like potato. If you decide to interview with them, pay attention that their questions are simple, but just giving an answer that makes sense wouldn't be enough. Those questions might be changed, but they are a good example.
I asked questions about their team and they use pair programming where people switch, and I was told they promote creativity and teamwork.
The recruiter contacted me a couple days after and told they were not going to continue with me, it was phrased like I was lacking sufficient "skills and talents" which sounded quite arrogant to me. I had an impression they didn't feel I was interested enough, and I really wasn't interested enough as I fell sick those days. I asked to postpone the second interview because of this problem, and it was like "do you want to have it later today or tomorrow?" (like I'm a machine to get a quick fix, I chose tomorrow); I didn't have guts to ask for 3 days to guarantee I fully recover.
I would've rated this experience as positive because they concentrated all on technical stuff, not sales speeches and team socializing, but the element of intimidation balanced it out.Interview Questions

Pathologist Testifies About Shots In Koula Murders
Autopsy results in the Eric Koula murder case are being heard by the jury today.
Information about the deaths of Dennis and Merna Koula could suggest how the shootings took place. Forensic pathologist Lindsay Thomas took part in the autopsies of the Koulas. She believes that Dennis Koula was shot from a distance...contrary to the defense theory that the shots were from handguns at close range.
Prosecutors think Eric Koula may have used a rifle from his parents' house to commit the murders. Thomas supports the police conclusion that the shootings occurred late on the afternoon of May 21st, 2010...three days before Eric said he found the bodies.
Regents To Vote On Tuition Increase Today
Funding to the UW system was cut by $250 million over two years in the 2011-13 budget. And with more money having to be returned to the state, UW-La Crosse finds themselves in an $8 million hole. Now, they can find $3 milion of that.......the rest? A tuition increase that La Crosse Regent, Brent Smith, will vote on today.
Under the tuition increase proposed for in state students at the 13 four year campuses and two year campuses in the UW system, increases would range between $247 at the two year colleges to $681 at UW-Madison. $300 at La Crosse.
Need A Job.......Look Technical
Employers in Wisconsin have had trouble for several years filling skilled positions that include steam-fitters, brick-layers and tool-and-die-makers. Danny Bee with Western Technical College says, yes, they offer those programs.
He also says welders and electricians are also in high demand. A Manpower survey showed that engineers are the second toughest jobs to fill, followed by information technology workers, sales representatives, and accounting staffers.

Exciting news, Kamloops has been chosen as one of the three provincial Farm to School Regional Hub! This means that more local food will be working its way into eight of our local schools! To do that, we are looking to hire a part-time Community Animator in the Kamloops region to develop a Farm to School Regional Hub, including the formation of a Steering Committee and eight new Farm to School programs. Spread the word far and wide, the deadline to apply is December 16, 2015!
Job Description: Kamloops Farm to School Regional Hub Community Animator
Established in 2007, Farm to School BC (F2SBC) is a diverse and expanding provincial network that promotes, supports, and links F2S activity, policy and programs across the province.
Farm to School (F2S) programs bring healthy, local food into schools, and provide students with hands-on learning opportunities that foster food literacy, all while strengthening the local food system and enhancing school and community connectedness. F2S empowers students and school communities to make informed food choices while contributing to vibrant, sustainable regional food systems that support the health of people, place and planet.
At this time F2SBC is preparing to grow the number of Farm to School programs across the province and develop F2S Regional Hubs in three urban centres. The development of the three Regional Hubs will help foster collaboration and collective impact at the regional level.
The Regional Hub Community Animator will enable and facilitate the development of a Farm to School Regional Hub in the Kamloops Region. The role of the Animator will be to build capacity and resilience within the community around Farm to School, unleashing the creativity of the community and schools in the region to sow the seeds for long term Farm to School success.Read More

Coral Honeysuckle advise needed!
hummersteveAugust 23, 2010
Ive had my vine about 4yrs. The first yr it was ok small and flowered some the next year it was a battle with aphids, that fall I cut all the foliage off so no more aphids but then comes the battle with spider mites this season. Ive been using organic spray and neem oil which ive had to do a couple of times a week. But now the vine is not blooming well at all maybe a half dozen clusters at best. I did find a thistle weed growing right up in the middle of it the other day and removed it but this plant should be blooming its head off right now and is doing poorly. I have watered it on a fairly consistant routine and fed it on occasion, the foliage is green enough but Its not acting right. Any thoughts.

Hi, glad to learn that you gave the double paddle a try. I agree that it is more for cruising,open waters instead of working through a rapids.They also seem to work better with a narrow boat. Continued good paddling, thanks for the comments, and most of all, be safe out there.

I am starting to code a game in C# using Windows Forms (not using XNA) and I am trying to figure out how to save/load.
Right now all I have is the main form, a few User Controls, and one class in a separate project.
I have looked for a decent tutorial and this is the best I've found:
Would this method be suitable for a Windows Form game? Or is there a better approach for me to take?
Also, if this is the best route, how would I save data from several different classes in a single save file and then read the data in?
Unfortunately I don't have any relevant code. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Wildlife and Pipelines: Like Water and Oil
At this point, we've seen plenty of faulty logic and shameless greenwashing on many issues associated with drilling and fracking for oil and natural gas. However, we recently came across a pro-drilling argument that would be laughable if it weren't such a scary example of the lengths the industry is willing to go to confuse the public about drilling and fracking.
Natural gas pipelines, the argument goes, are beneficial to both wildlife and the public because they provide new habitats and recreation areas. This argument is not only wrong, but deliberately misleading. We've already written about pipeline problems and eminent domain, but there's another damaging side to pipelines that doesn't get mentioned as often.
In the Marcellus region of Pennsylvania, around half of the well pads are located in forested lands, and around a quarter are in core forest—woods that are more than 300 feet from a road or other clearings that form a forest edge. As drilling and fracking for oil and gas continues, an estimated 60,000 miles of new pipelines could be constructed in Pennsylvania alone to connect new well pads to customers. Depending on the size of the pipeline, construction requires a continuous cleared path 30 to 200 feet wide. Read the full article…

Explain "latent mosaic virus infected" peach
I was visiting Arboreum now that they are back up. They say about their Rio Oso Gem: "Our stock is latent mosaic virus infected, as are those of all other nurseries, which reduces vigor but increases productivity."
What exactly does this mean? Is it contagious to other peaches in an orchard?
It's certainly contagious if used as grafting wood. How it might be transmitted otherwise I'm not sure. Some of my nectarine and pluot are virus infected. It does seem to infect the new trees after a few years. But I'm not sure what virus it is and the trees still produce excellent fruit. I've greatly reduced my budding and grafting.
Latent viruses tend to reduce the overall vigor of a tree. I have found Rio Oso Gem to have low vigor which is explained by this.
It is a problem of multi-grafts, they can pass the virus from one variety to another. Viruses can also transmit through roots by root contact, but that method is much harder.
I was curious about your question and found some information.
One site said it was transmitted by a mite,but this one that is linked has an aphid as the culprit.
It also gives a cure:"The agent can be eliminated from infected peach trees, although with some difficulty, by growing plants in hot air at 37 ðC for 35-45 days, followed by propagation of the tips."That's 98.6 degrees F.Have fun.There are a few photos as to what the virus can do. Brady
Here is a link that might be useful: Peach Latent Mosaic Virus
I looked up peach mosaic virus. It's not something I'd want in my orchard. In fact I'm surprised it's allowed to be sold in that condition. It is quarantined in most of CA. In parts of CO you aren't allowed to even plant peach or nectarine cultivars that are symptomless carries. Ya that's right, there are lists of approved cultivars. You can't legally plants anything else.
Here is a link that might be useful: peach mosaic pictures
Bradybb, That's excellent information. I would love to try Rio Oso Gem but not if it won't be terribly productive, and I sure don't want it to spread.
I have an egg incubator that I could set to that temperature. I wonder if the whole tree needs to be at 98.6 or just the tips. I've never even attempted to graft peaches before. I know that they should be done in summer or "hot calloused".
And why would the nurseries not have done this themselves?
I would not reccommend having this tree. This is not something that is at all a good thing. I grow lots of peaches here in Colorado and wonder why you want this variety. There are so many newer cultivars from Paul Friday's breeding program that I have that are far superior. Look up Paul Friday peaches.
I agree that it is not something I should buy. Scott's recommendations on this peach and a few other places make it seem like a worthy peach. I just wonder why no nursery has taken the time to get virus-free scion.
I have quite a few Paul Friday peaches and a nectarine and I was not overly impressed with my first crop. Granted it was a hot, dry year, but I plan on replacing two of them and my Saturn peento as well.
I spent a lot of time researching varieties and planning so I would have a continuous crop all summer, but I was not happy with any early peaches except Garnet Beauty this year.
I have been hesitant to buy peaches that are not cold-hardy but so far the ones that I have that are not have done well. The O'Henry and the Silver Logan are supposed to be for zone 6 but they have done well. I went ahead an purchased Baby Crawford, Gold Dust, and Old Mixon Free.
So I don't get tired of tastes and putting up jars of preserves, I really try and stick to July-October harvest times and multiple fruits. The only 'early trees' I have are two apples, then a mid-apple (soon) and late (Oct.). I do love peaches though. The 'Garnet Beauty' is very beautiful. I'll check into it. This past summer my peaches were very large. I do no water my orchard and the concentration of sugar in my peaches was huge. I am trying very hard (with great difficulty) to purchase only one new tree this year. Mrs. G
I also don't understand why they are still selling a version known to be infected. One of the reasons I buy trees from nurseries is to get clean stock.
There is also the fig mosaic and apple mosaic. The thing about these mosaic viruses is you usually see nothing so its not obvious that it is there, and it gets spread around more widely because of that. I somehow got one apple tree with apple mosaic, it is on a tree with three grafts. It could be one of them had it latently and the one showing the infection is more sensitive so I can now see it.

Couple Violence The public, government, and mental health professionals have been paying more attention to couple violence during the past 10 years. Psychologists have done research on couple violence in order to prevent or stop it once it has started. Mental health professionals have many ways to prevent and treat couple violence. What Is Couple Violence? Many types of behavior are thought of as couple violence. First, there are physical acts, such as pushing, slapping, punching, scratching, biting, hitting with objects, choking, burning, attacking with weapons, and rape. Even though they are less likely to be thought of as couple violence, a more common type of violence is emotional acts, such as threatening to harm or leave someone, insulting, bullying, harming property and pets, and controlling access to money, friends, and family. Even though these acts seem to be very different, they are both designed to force the partner to do something he or she does not want to do. Therefore, many professionals consider a couple to be violent when it has a pattern of emotionally and/or physically harmful behavior by one or both partners that limits the freedom of the partner. How Common Is Couple Violence? Couple violence is very common. Statistics vary depending on who's counting what when. The Center for Disease Control says that one out of six families experiences some form of "marital violence" and one out of eighteen families experiencing serious violence (like beatings or the use of weapons). Some national surveys have found that as many as 28% of domestic partners, married or unmarried, experience some physical violence at some point during their years together. These surveys have also found that one out of six American couples experiences physical violence during any given year. The higher numbers mean that as many as 8.7 million American couples could experience at least one episode of physical violence during the year. They also mean that up to 2 million adults are seriously harmed by their partners every year. Surveys of dating couples show that about 30% to 35% of these couples are physically violent. These surveys include high school and college student couples. We do not know how common emotional aggression or abuse is. Who Experiences Couple Violence? The Department of Justice reports that 97% of couple violence victims are women. Other studies have shown that up to 75% of murdered women were killed by current or former male partners. Two thirds of these women had been physically abused before being murdered. Even though women are more commonly abused, men are also often abused by their partners. Many believe that abuse against males is often not reported. Couple violence happens in all types of families. It happens in all ages, races, religions, and professions. However, research has found some common characteristics of abusive partners. Abusers tend to be younger and less educated. They are often unemployed or less satisfied with their jobs and have lower-status jobs and lower incomes. Abusers are more likely to have grown up in homes with by couple violence. They are also more likely to use or abuse alcohol and drugs, to approve of domestic violence, and to report more daily stress than nonabusers. Things like low self-esteem, jealousy, lack of assertiveness, and blaming others for their actions have been found to increase the risk of being abusive. Abusive relationships are likely to have poor communication between partners, high levels of conflict, and unequal distribution of power. What Are the Effects of Couple Violence? Victims of couple violence often suffer from a variety of physical and emotional problems. They often have physical injuries like bruises, broken bones, cuts, and burns. They also often have restlessness, difficulty sleeping, nightmares, chronic headaches and backaches, and tiredness. Victims' emotional symptoms include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, suspiciousness, shame, loneliness, inferiority, helplessness, and hopelessness. Couple violence can also lead to Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Victims of couple violence are more likely to die from suicide and homicide as well. Unfortunately, the effects of couple violence are not limited to the abused person. Couple violence also has a negative effect on the children growing up in violent homes. Although not all children from violent homes develop problems, children who see or know about their parents' violent relationship are more likely to have conduct problems, like violent behavior, skipping school, lying, and stealing. They are also at risk for emotional problems, like depression and anxiety. The effects of couple violence on children are worse if the children are also abused. What Help Is Available? Victims of domestic violence often feel ashamed. They also often feel as if they are responsible for the abuse. They therefore often do not seek help. In these cases, the first step is for the victim to admit that no person is responsible for his or her own abuse. The second step is to step forward and ask for help. There are three major forms of help for couple violence: legal, community, and therapeutic help. • Legal help for couple violence includes the arrest of abusers and court orders of protection. Victims of couple violence can contact their local police, district attorney's office, or battered women's shelter or hotline for information and help with legal resources. • Community help includes local women's shelters that can offer temporary housing and services for battered women and their children. Battered men typically do not have access to shelters. The public is often not told the location of shelters in order to increase the safety of shelter residents and staff. People who need help from a shelter can call shelter hotlines or their local police to find help. When possible, shelter networks also will offer housing at a lower cost for a longer period of time to help women who decide to leave their abusive partners for good. • There are many types of therapy available for the abused partner and the abuser. The major goal of all types of therapy is to end the violence. What Types of Therapy Are Available? Therapy for couple violence usually includes either individual therapy, group treatment, or marital therapy. All three types of treatment generally have similar goals and stress the importance of the abuser accepting responsibility for the violence and the ability to control anger. The treatments differ in what they think causes couple violence, the specific things addressed in therapy, and the methods used to meet treatment goals. Behavior therapists and cognitive-behavior therapists believe therapy should be goal-oriented. They also believe it should focus on current or ongoing problems. Behavioral or cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that come before and after abuse occurs. It also focuses on the characteristics of the abusive relationship. • Individual therapy. Individual cognitive-behavior therapy for couple violence is based on the idea that the abuser's beliefs or behaviors are responsible for the violence. The goal of this therapy is to discover and change the abuser's characteristics that cause him or her to choose violence to solve conflicts. Therapy focuses on the abuser's background, current experiences, thoughts, and behavior. Treatment is usually designed based on cognitive- behavioral ideas about human behavior. These ideas stress that it is important to focus on what and how we think and how our thoughts affect our behavior. Anger control, problem- solving, and social skills training are often used in individual therapy for abusers. The abusive partner must be willing to enter therapy for this to work. • Individual cognitive-behavioral therapy for victims of couple violence is also available. Therapy for the victim may happen at the same time as therapy for the abuser or can take place independently. A therapist's choice to treat both the abuser and the victim or only one partner depends on his or her training and beliefs. It also depends on the availability and willingness of each partner to be treated. Individual therapy for the victim tries to correct the emotional damage created by the violence and to help the victim feel more powerful. It is hoped that this will help him or her to make a personal decision regarding whether to stay in the relationship. Usually, cognitive-behavioral therapy tries to lower anxiety and depression, to help with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, to improve self-esteem, and to develop or strengthen assertiveness and problem-solving skills. • Group cognitive-behavior therapy. Often, abusers are treated in a group. Group treatment is based on the idea that couple violence is not caused only by the personality or psychological characteristics of the abuser. Couple violence is also thought to be affected by the environment. Group therapy addresses things such as attitudes about women's and men's gender roles and society's view of family violence. Hearing about the experiences of other abusers in the group is thought to help the abuser to reject social beliefs that lead to couple violence. It is also hoped that this will help the abuser accept responsibility for his or her use of violence. Taking responsibility for domestic violence is viewed as the key to change. Group treatments combine the support provided by the group with cognitive- behavioral methods to change thoughts and behaviors. Like individual therapy, group treatment focuses on the abusers' background, current experiences, beliefs, and behaviors. Groups often focus on anger management, problem solving, and social skills training. How well groups work depends on how willing the abuser is to change. Abusers sent to treatment by the courts may be likely to change than abusers who go to therapy on their own. • Groups are also often used to help victims. Group therapy uses the support of other group members to help victims take a realistic look at their relationships and to follow through on choices they make about those relationships. Like in groups for abusers, victim groups talk about beliefs about the roles of men and women. The focus of the group treatment is on members' backgrounds, current experiences and beliefs, and choices they can make. Cognitive-behavioral strategies are used to help with anxiety and depression, to increase self esteem, and to build problem-solving skills. Information about legal rights and services is often provided to group members. • Marital therapy. Cognitive-behavioral marital therapy is also used to address couple violence. Marital therapy is based on the idea that conflict and violence is the result of problematic patterns of interaction between the partners. The abuser is seen as wanting to control the partner. Violence is thought of as one extreme method the abuser uses to do so. Marital therapy tries to reduce the amount of conflict in a relationship and to change the ways they try to solve conflict. The focus of marital therapy is the couple. The couple discusses how they see each others' behavior and the cues and signals they give each other when they interact. Communication and listening skills and problem-solving skills are taught to help couples talk about their differences without violence. Even though marital therapy helps both partners recognize how each plays a role in the relationship patterns, the abuser is taught to accept responsibility for choosing violence as a way to solve problems. Often, individual therapy with the abuser is used at the same time or before marital therapy to help with accepting responsibility and with anger management. What Is the Best Way to Treat for Couple Violence? Currently, there is no agreement on which method of treatment is best. Therapists choose a treatment based on their experiences with couple violence. They also choose treatments consistent with their training. It is therefore important to ask potential therapists about their training and beliefs about the causes of couple violence before choosing one. Many people find behavior therapy and cognitive-behavior therapy helpful for the problems that come with an abusive relationship because these treatments are short-term and goal-oriented and teach problem-solving. Other factors affecting your choice of treatment are the availability of types of therapy and the willingness of each partner to take part in therapy. If the abusive partner is not willing to enter therapy, for example, marital therapy is not an option. However, marital problems can be improved even if only one member of the couple seeks help. It is important to make sure the type of treatment you choose includes several important factors. First, it needs to help the abuser take responsibility for his or her behavior. Second, it needs to teach the abuser ways to control anger. It also needs to teach nonviolent ways of disagreeing and solving problems with a partner. The therapy should also help the abused partner become able to set limits about psychological and physical assaults. Research in cognitive-behavior therapy with family and couple violence has shown it to be effective. Above all else, choose a therapist who uses treatments that are sensitive to the safety of the victims of couple violence and that keep track of that safety during treatment. What Is Cognitive Behavior Therapy? Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are types of treatment that are based firmly on research findings. These approaches aid people in achieving specific changes or goals. Changes or Goals might involve: • a way of acting - like smoking less or being more outgoing; • a way of feeling - like helping a person be less scared, less depressed, or less anxious; • a way of thinking - like learning to problem-solve or get rid of self-defeating thoughts; • a way of dealing with physical or medical problems - like lessening back pain or helping a person stick to a doctor's suggestions; or • a way of adjusting - like training developmentally disabled people to care for themselves or hold a job. Behavior Therapists and Cognitive Behavior Therapists usually focus more on the current situation and its solution, rather than the past. They concentrate on a person's views and beliefs about their life, not on personality traits. Behavior Therapists and Cognitive Behavior Therapists treat individuals, parents, children, couples, and families. Replacing ways of living that do not work well, with ways of living that work, and giving people more control over their lives are common goals of behavior and cognitive behavior therapy. The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) is an interdisciplinary organization committed to the advancement of a scientific approach to the understanding and amelioration of problems of the human condition. These aims are achieved through the investigation and application of behavioral, cognitive, and other evidence-based principles to assessment, prevention, and treatment.

The Ohio Senate released its version of the budget bill yesterday and it does not contain language shifting contribution rates. The original proposal would have required a 2 percent shift of employer contributions to employees. The Ohio House Finance and Appropriations Committee removed language from the House version of the budget bill April 28.
Additionally, the bill also excluded language affecting the Board of Trustees discretion to set rates or the contribution rate changes for members in the law enforcement and public safety divisions. Once the Senate version of the budget is approved, a House/Senate conference committee will convene to resolve any differences in the two versions of the bill.

MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST — The Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) trustees have released the Deepwater Horizon Draft Phase I Early Restoration Plan & Environmental Assessment (DERP/EA) for formal public comment.
It is the first in an anticipated series of plans to begin restoration of the Gulf of Mexico to compensate for natural resource injuries, including the loss of human use of Gulf resources, from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
The DERP/EA describes the initial projects proposed to receive funding from the $1 billion Early Restoration agreement announced by the trustees and BP April 21 called the Framework Agreement.
The trustees will hold 12 public meetings in January and February 2012 throughout Gulf Coast communities and in Washington, D.C., to solicit formal public comment on the DERP/EA.
Cooper Shattuck, chair of the Trustee Council Executive Committee, speaking on behalf of the trustees, said, "This is the first step in beginning restoration of injuries caused by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. While continuing to accept project ideas, we will move forward with additional phases of Early Restoration until the entire $1 billion is committed to Gulf Coast restoration."
The DERP/EA describes eight proposed projects for the initial round of
Early Restoration, two each in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. These projects reflect the ideas and input received by the trustees through project solicitation and outreach efforts. The proposed projects include shoreline marsh creation, coastal dune habitat restoration, nearshore artificial reef creation, oyster cultch restoration and construction of boat ramp facilities.
The total estimated cost of the proposed initial suite of projects is more than $57 million.
The Mississippi projects included in the Deepwater Horizon DERP/EA are:
• Mississippi Oyster Cultch Restoration — Hancock and Harrison counties; 1,430 acres of cultch restoration; benefitting oysters in Mississippi Sound; estimated cost: $11 million.
• Mississippi Artificial Reef Habitat. Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties; 100 acres of nearshore artificial reef; benefitting nearshore habitat; estimated cost: $2.6 million.
Visit www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov to view the DERP/EA, access public meeting details, and view additional details of the proposed Early Restoration projects and ways to submit public comment.
The public comment period will end Feb. 14, 2012.
The public meetings in Mississippi are scheduled for Jan. 17-19.

text: Kneebone models her porcelain and gives it a preliminary (bisque) firing before applying a clear glaze and returning it to her kiln for the final firing. In response to heating and cooling, the material shrinks, ruptures, and cracks, further transforming the piece. For larger works such as this one, each section is produced separately, and the overall structure must allow for the unpredictability of porcelain. Here, the irregular spacing between pieces echoes the cracks within each section, intensifying the downward thrust of the work.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/043,081 (entitled HYDROGEN GENERATOR, filed Apr. 7, 2008) which is incorporated herein by reference.
Hydrogen is an important gas for many different applications. Many current sources of hydrogen involve heavy metal canisters, which may not be practical for selected applications.
In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments which may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following description of example embodiments is, therefore, not to be taken in a limited sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
Various embodiments of a hydrogen generator are described. A first set of embodiments describes a pressure regulated hydrogen generator using a chemical hydride fuel, and a second set of embodiments describes a hydrogen generator utilizing multiple hollow cylinders of chemical hydride fuel to provide high volume hydrogen production under pressure.
A hydrogen generator is shown generally in cross section at 100 in
A chemical hydride fuel 115 is shown disposed within a portion of the vessel 110. The hydride may be disposed within a fuel chamber 120, which may be formed of the same material as the vessel 110. The vessel 110 may form portions of the fuel chamber 120 in one embodiment, such as a shared outer wall. The fuel chamber 120 in one embodiment has openings 125 that allow water vapor to enter the fuel chamber 120 and interact with the hydride fuel 115 to produce hydrogen. An output port 130 is formed through the vessel 110 and chamber 120 to provide hydrogen to an application, such as fuel cell, chemical reactor, balloon, or any other application in need of hydrogen, including hydrogen under pressure.
The fuel chamber 120 may be formed with a valve seat 135 that provides a seal for a valve disk 140 disposed to regulate access to the openings 125 in chamber 120. A valve pin is coupled to valve disk 140 and extends through a shaft 145 extending through the fuel chamber 120 to a flexible diaphragm 150. Flexible diaphragm 150 is coupled to the vessel 110 in one embodiment, or otherwise secured, and provided access to ambient, such as via air vents 155. The flexible diaphragm/valve pin/valve disk assembly operates as a regulator for the hydrogen generator 100. As pressure builds inside the hydrogen chamber 120, the diaphragm moves down in this example, causing the valve disk 140 to move toward valve seat 135.
As the valve disk 140 moves toward valve seat 135, a source of water vapor is cut off from the hydride fuel 115, and production of hydrogen decreases. If more hydrogen is released via output port 130, the valve disk 140 moves away from the valve seat, allowing more water vapor to be provided to the hydride fuel 115, and more hydrogen to be produced.
In one embodiment, water vapor is provided from a water source 155, such as a water and salt solution. Salt may be used to lower the freezing point of the water source 155. Other chemicals and methods of lowering the freezing point of the water source may be used in further embodiments. The water source 155 is separated within the vessel 110 from the hydride fuel 115 via a selectively permeable membrane 160, which is water impermeable and water vapor permeable.
Some potential uses for the hydrogen generator 100 may include:
Still further embodiments may provide pressurized hydrogen gas for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Some embodiments may be used to replace heavy, metal, gas cylinders of hydrogen. Embodiments may provide a lightweight, more compact hydrogen sources are desired for many portable applications.
While the hydrogen generator 100 may take the form of several different shapes and sizes, in some embodiments, the volume of the generator 100 may be less than 2 cc and may be cylindrical in shape. Hydrogen mass flow from such a size may be about 8.2−6 g/sec with a delivery pressure of about 100 psi. In some embodiments, the valve assembly may be spring loaded open to obtain desired maximum pressures. This may be accomplished by disposing a spring about the valve pin 145 and supported by the fuel chamber 120 at one end, with the other end biased against the underside of the valve disk 140 to bias the valve disk open. The hydrogen generator may operate over various temperatures, such as a range of −40� C. to 80� C.
System 200 includes multiple hollow cylinders of a hydrogen producing fuel indicated at 205, 210 and 215. Three such cylinders are provided in one embodiment, though further embodiments may contain fewer or more such cylinders arranged in a concentric manner. In various embodiments, the cylinders may be round, or other geometric shapes, such as oval, triangular, rectangular, etc. The term �cylinder� is meant to cover all such geometric shapes, and the term �concentric� is intended to refer to the ability to place different size cylinders within each other.
In one embodiment, the cylinders are formed of a porous chemical hydride formed of granules of chemical hydride sized to provide a large surface area for reaction of the chemical hydride with water vapor. The thickness of the cylinders may be selected to result in a bulk reaction of the chemical hydride with the water vapor. The water vapor in one embodiment, penetrates through the thickness of the cylinders such that substantially all of the chemical hydride may react with the water vapor.
In one embodiment, a water reservoir 220 is formed inside of the concentric cylinders, and includes a resealable water port 225 to add water to the water reservoir 220 to begin a reaction to produce hydrogen. A water wicking material 230 is formed in contact with water in the water reservoir 220. In one embodiment, the wicking material extends down into the water reservoir 220 to transport water form the bottom of the water reservoir 220 as water is consumed to produce hydrogen. A second water wicking material 235, which may be formed separately, or as a continuation of the wicking material 230 extends toward the cylinders of fuel, and extends down selected sides of such cylinders, separated by an air gap 240 and a selectively permeable membrane 245.
The selectively permeable membrane 245 in one embodiment is supported by a metal support 250. Metal support 250 in one embodiment is formed of perforated copper to provide for heat transfer and to hold the membrane 245 and fuel in place.
Cylinder 210, as can be observed, has the wicking material 235 and selectively permeable membrane 245 disposed on both the inside and outside of the cylinder 210 walls. Water vapor from the wicking material 230 and 235 passes through the selectively permeable membrane 245, reacts with the fuel in the cylinders to generate hydrogen, and the hydrogen passes back through the selectively permeable membrane 245. The hydrogen passes through air gaps 240 to an output port 255 formed in a container 260, which provides support for the cylinders and other elements of system 200, as well as suitable containment for generated hydrogen under pressure. Container 260 also has concentric slots 265 formed in a base of container 260. The slots are formed to provide alignment and support for the metal supports 250 and corresponding membranes 245 to support the cylinders. Annular plugs 270 are formed at a top of the fuel cylinders to provide support for the metal supports 250 and form a water tight seal to prevent liquid water from reaching the fuel cylinders. In one embodiment, the plug 270 for cylinders 210 and 215 have two annular grooves to mate with the metal supports on both sides of the cylinders. The plug 270 for cylinder 205 has a single annular groove, with an outside of the plug being smooth for directly contacting container 260. In further embodiments, an additional metal support 250 may be used on the outside of cylinder 205, in which case the plug 270 for cylinder 205 may have two annular grooves.
As seen in further detail in
Cap 275 in one embodiment includes supports 285 extending toward the base, and forming walls of the water reservoir 220. The wicking material 230 and 235 may be supported by the supports 285. The supports 285 may be coupled to a top portion of the cap by annular rings 290 formed to space the supports apart to leave room for the fuel cylinders 205, 210 and 215. In one embodiment, the supports 285 are welded to the rings 290, but may be attached in other manners, such as adhesive or mechanical couplers. In one embodiment, container 260, cap 275, supports 285 and rings 290 may be formed of 216 stainless steel or other suitable material that provides structural strength to withstand the pressure of generated hydrogen, and also to withstand the chemical reactions occurring in system 200.
A release valve 295, such as a pressure release valve distributed by Lee Company of Westbrook, Conn., may be formed in the container 260 and used to vent excess generated hydrogen when the pressure of hydrogen in container 260 exceeds a predetermined pressure, such as approximately 100 PSI in one embodiment.
In one embodiment, the wicking material 230, 235 may be formed from a wide range of materials that operate to transport water. Pressed fibrous metal, polymers with pores, porous paper and any other water transport film may be used in various embodiments. The air gap 240 may be used to diffuse water vapor from the wick, and to provide a path for generated hydrogen to reach the hydrogen output port 255.
Metal supports 250 may be formed of perforated copper in one embodiment, and may be used to help transfer heat away from the fuel cylinders, as heat is generated in the reaction with water vapor to produce hydrogen. The metal supports 250 also may operate to hold the porous permeable membrane in place, as well as holding the fuel in place within the container 260.
In one embodiment, the concentric cylinders of fuel provide the ability to react the fuel quickly with water vapor and create a high hydrogen generation and flow rate. In one embodiment, the chemical hydride is porous, with a grain size of from approximately 1 to 100 μm. In one embodiment, the average grain size is approximately 10 μm. The size of the grain provides a low diffusion resistance and results in uniform hydrogen generation. A flat discharge rate may be provided with proper grain size and thickness of the cylinders.
The hydrogen generating system 200 is scalable from a few cc's volume to much larger sizes. In smaller embodiments, the hydrogen generating system 200 may serve to provide a hydrogen carrier gas for portable instruments, such as a gas chromatography instrument. Adding water via water filling port 225, and then resealing the water filling port 225 using a threaded plug, initiates a reaction that starts to produce hydrogen within a short period of time, such as a few minutes or less.
The Abstract is provided to comply with 37 C.F.R. �1.72(b) to allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
