Analog Devices Announces Industry's First Data Converter with Dynamic Power Control
Advances in factory automation, process controls, and industrial instrumentation are contributing to higher manufacturing productivity and increased output. The sustainability of such advances is under threat, however, as the density of factory process control systems reaches levels where rising power consumption and thermal issues are beginning to undermine equipment performance, reliability, and safety. Analog Devices, Inc. today introduced a multichannel DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with innovative dynamic power control circuitry including ADI's leading dc-to-dc switching converters and diagnostic features. This new DAC can enable increased system productivity, while simultaneously lowering power use without affecting safety and reliability. Watch the AD5755 DAC video for more information on its features.
Dynamic Power Control Reduces Power Loss and Self-Heating
ADI's highly integrated AD5755 data converter is a complete, multichannel control IC (integrated circuit) that incorporates four precision 16-bit DACs with programmable voltage or 4–20-mA output drivers, along with dynamic power control. The dynamic power control feature works by continually sensing the load impedance and delivering the required power to the load while minimizing power loss in the rest of the system. This reduces self-heating and temperature elevation. The unparalleled combination of features and performance supports four times more channels than any other integrated converter, enabling up to four times more terminals at twice the performance in a single analog I/O module. The new converter also lowers power consumption by 80 percent and net thermal rise (silicon temperature minus ambient temperature) by 75 percent compared to other control driver technologies.
"Increased terminal density puts pressure on module size and can result in extra heat generation in industrial systems," said Mike Britchfield, vice president for the Industrial and Instrumentation Group, Analog Devices. "By reducing power consumption and self-heating, the dynamic power control function of the AD5755 meets customer requirements for increased channel density. This allows manufacturers to achieve channel-rich designs without having to increase the form factor of their systems or back–off on other performance parameters."
More on the AD5755 Data Converter
The 16-bit AD5755 offers a full channel spec with a maximum total unadjusted error of 0.05 %, a relative accuracy of ±0.003% max, and does not require system calibration, which shortens development time and reduces system maintenance costs. In addition, the single chip architecture combines multiple converters, power management, linear and other functions, increasing MTTF (mean time to failure) and improving reliability. Also included are various diagnostics for real-time fault analysis, including communication, connection, and interface alerts, which simplify the design task and boost operational up-time.
The device, which supports standard industrial voltage and current output ranges, can be used with standard HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol modems. Also integrated on-chip is a 5-ppm/°C internal reference, user-accessible offset and gain registers and a 30-MHz SPI (serial peripheral interface) compatible interface. The device is specified over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +105°C and is housed in a 9 mm × 9 mm LFCSP (lead-frame chip scale package). To download the data sheet, click here.

This play inventively tells the story of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet. These two clowns appear on stage when they are off-stage in Shakespeare's play with brief appearances of major characters from Hamlet. In Tom Stoppard's best-known work, this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role, but our two heroes are lead to a tragically humorous but inevitalble end.Tickets cost $3 BYU-Idaho Students/$6 General PublicEvent Dress

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

'Bono nailed it first time...'
Backstage and onstage with Show Designer Willie Williams, as the Vertigo Tour arrives in Europe.
Check out these snippets from the latest road-diaries of Willie Williams, U2's Show Designer.
Wednesday June 8th
'Programming began again after dinner and the five of us sealed ourselves in our little oxygen tent out in the field. It was a cold night and by 4am it was near freezing out there. Programming, editing, lighting, making new video sequences, we got a lot done, but the colder it got, the slower progress seemed to be. We cranked up some T.Rex to keep the mood up, but by 6am it was fully light so there wasn't a great deal more that could be achieved. With the night crew of lighting, video and power, there were ten of us crammed in the seven passenger van to take the half hour drive back to the hotel. About half way back Raff says 'This is the warmest I've been all night. You should do the programming in here tomorrow.'
Thursday June 9th
'After the run through we did a quick video shoot with Bono for a last minute spontaneous sequence. It's for the opening of Zoo Station, the idea being to recreate the iconic image of him as 'The Fly' in front of TV static. We didn¹t really know it till we did it, but the new character we shot tonight is essentially the same guy, but 15 years on, tired and cynical after a life of excess; some jaded Nazi in a bus conductor's hat who's been dragged out of retirement from some dodgy tango club in Buenos Aires to go through the motions one last time. It all came together in the moment and it was very funny. Bono nailed it first time, instantly getting right into character, pressed up against a huge video wall with Zoo Station playing on a boom box and me yelling instructions, whilst all present howled with laughter.'
Friday June 10th (Show Day)
'Ash, our programmer, had done a couple of software updates to the control system (which he single-handedly designed and wrote the computer code for) and some glitches had appeared as a result, which we didn¹t spot till odd things happened with the playback. The Julian Opie 'Walking Man' image made an odd jump-cut and walked off the screen early, and I realised that similar things would happen during the new Zoo Station visuals with more disastrous results. I got Ash on the case who figured out a new software update to solve the glitch which he wrote during the show and installed into the system computers during the first encore break. I'm pretty good at staying calm during show crises, but such full on mid-show brain surgery got a raised eyebrow even from me. Cutting edge? We are just making it up as we go along out here.'

The treatment of HIV and the tests performed for HIV care have changed over the last 20 years. However, improvement of management of HIV-infected subjects is still warranted, especially as the HIV-infected population is aging. Therefore, this study will involve the collection and analysis of clinical information obtained from subjects who are over 50 years of age. For example, patients' risk of heart disease will be measured and monitored by looking at blood tests and clinical data (such as blood pressure). This will allow researchers to understand if the current way of assessing the risk of future heart disease is the best one available for HIV-infected individuals. No genetic research will be done.

Patients will be asked to read the information contained in this leaflet. No extra visits will occur; all samples will be collected at their routine visits to the pharmacology clinic. All blood samples and results will be managed by the routine clinical laboratory at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, with the exception of the assessment of the hsCRP. The latter is a marker of inflammation that is measured to be able to add more information when cardiovascular risk is assessed. The blood sample for this test is sent to a laboratory in London called The Doctors Laboratory (TDL). All shipped samples are anonymous and patient names will not be disclosed outside the Hospital.
The clinical visits will be scheduled approximately once within one year. However, extra visits may be clinically necessary if a clinical condition requires proper follow-up. Furthermore, clinical details will be marked to show patients have agreed to their use for this research study.

LorenaLove It!This comb has reduced the time it takes me to flat iron my hair drastically. I must say that I'm totally clueless in the art of hairdressing and my hair is so fine and lifeless that it is very hard to get it to do anything, plus I'm lazy so I find the task of sectioning and combing hair in order to straighten it overwhelming. This comb has made it so much easier! I don't section my hair at all now, just brush it through and start picking up sections with the comb and passing the iron through and it's so fast. I won't straighten my hair without it.posted Jun 3, 2010Link to this post

LynnAustraliaHorrible!I hate this straightening comb. I own a different brand and love that comb. But, my current comb can't take the heat of a flat iron. Decided to try this one. If you have fragile hair take a pass. It pulls on the hair way too much. Not smooth and the product feels cheap. I will return this hair enemy asap.posted Apr 14, 2010Link to this post
NatashaIt Was AlrightYou can probably get the same results with usingg a regular comb which is much cheaper.It is a little cumbersome trying to use this and the flat iron at the same time.posted Mar 10, 2010Link to this post
DeeBrentwood, CAFlat Iron's Best BuddThis comb works really great and helps so much in reducing the time while straightening my hair. your hair should be tangle-free when u use this comb so it wont pull out ur hair.posted Mar 8, 2010Link to this post
KananiFort Hood, TXGreat Accessory!This is a great accessory when used with the TS-2 Detailer half inch flat iron. It helps to ensure that you are getting the full straightening performance of the iron especially if you are trying to straighten the roots of your hair. The TS-2 Tension Comb came with my TS-2 Detailer half inch flat iron and I can't be happier. This was a great item at a great price and I was very surprised because I didn't know this brand existed until the representative from Folica.com recommended it as a replacement for the Sedu Shortie that disappointed me.posted Feb 19, 2010Link to this post

[show]Most significant solar cooking projects
- The Solar Cooker Project helps to improve the lives of Darfur refugees living in Chad - More than 50,000 people in four Darfur refugee camps in Eastern Chad are using locally made solar CooKits designed by Solar Cookers International. The project is run by Tchad Solaire and by the British NGO CORD. It is funded by Jewish World Watch and the Kozon Foundation. The project has improved the safety and survival of the women in the refugee camps. Previously, they were faced with dangerous and arduous trips outside the camps to collect scarce firewood. Two of the most extensive projects are at the Touloum Refugee Camp and the Iridimi Refugee Camp.
- See other Most significant solar cooking projects worldwide.
News and Recent Developments
- November 2013: Only solar cooking makes something like this possible - In 2009 several hundred women from Darfur refugee camps gathered together, each carrying a pot of raw food and a folded 12" x 12" cardboard and aluminum foil CooKit. They were preparing a farewell dinner for an international team that had been evaluating their solar cooker project. The women opened their CooKits and left their pots of food to cook unattended for 90 minutes while they sat in the shade. The result was a banquet for hundreds of people. If each of these woman had been required to haul a fuel-efficient stove and a bundle of wood to this location along with her pot of food, she would have had to stay out in the sun, along with the other women, to tend her fire through the cooking process. Imagine hundreds of fires burning in the desert sun to cook what the ladies in this photo cooked with no fuel and no fire at all.
- May 2013: Solar cookers preparing food for 30,000 people daily at the refugee camps in Chad - Derk Rijks, a volunteer with the KoZon Foundation, recently responded to Jewish World Watch with this note of appreciation. "Last week I was at the Touloum Refugee Camp. The chief of the workshop, Fatimé, told me there were new arrivals. We walked over to the last of the dunes and there was one woman who had just walked in with four kids, sitting in the sand. Her village was bombed one week ago, and she had fled to escape the Janjaweed, walking for seven nights. Fatimé looked at me, I nodded " yes", and in the next few hours she had her cooker and started her solar cooker training, even before she had a shelter. No words needed, no paper needed. That is the way your contribution works." He also explains, in the six camps where they work in Chad, and in the villages of the population around the camps, about 29,000 families now do solar cooking, and about 130,000 people are eating solar cooked meals. In this part of the world solar cooking works about 300 days a year. From the empty bags of the food shipped in by the World Food Programme, and the snippets of aluminum foil and cardboard left over from the manufacture of the cookers, the refugees make "thermos baskets" to keep the food, cooked between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., warm until the evening meal at 5 p.m. or 8 p.m. They do not have to search for wood so much any more and there are far fewer conflicts for that reason. As one of the elected representatives of the women refugees said: "Solar cooking brings us justice and peace".
- December 2012: Jewish World Watch, originator of the Solar Cooker Project for Sudanese refugees, reviews their current programs at several of the refugee camps in Chad – As a result of a joint security force between Chad and Sudan, violence against women has declined some since the project began seven years ago. Cord, their partner at the Farchana refugee camp, sees solar cooking as a way to keep girls in school, and not spending hours finding fuelwood for cooking. For others, the project has meant help for the environment and the air quality conditions for women previously using open fires. When the Jewish World Watch contingent first visited the camps many years ago, the refugees had just arrived and the encampment was meant to be temporary. The hope and expectation was that within a few months or a couple of years at most; they would return to their homes. But now, seven years later, it is clear that returning to Darfur is not a reality and the camps are turning into permanent settlements. As a result, the programs for the refugees must begin to move away from survival resources and begin to address ways of achieving self-sufficiency and permanence. In other words, helping to create a life, not an existence. Future larger scale solutions will be needed to address and benefit the surrounding communities, as well as the refugee camps, to help with the integration of the Sudanese residents. Read more...
- May 2011: Solar Household Energy (SHE) was commissioned to test acceptance of the HotPot solar oven in the Gaga refugee camp in eastern Chad. It shelters 20,000 people from Darfur in Western Sudan. Patrick Fourrier, a French solar cooking expert affiliated with Bolivia Inti Sud Soleil, completed the first phase of the project last month. He will also ensure that local support systems set in place to encourage continued use of the solar ovens are working effectively. Read more in the SHE spring update 2011.
- January 2011: Ten solar box cookers have recently been completed, and been placed in the hands of ten community leaders, who have just finished half of their training provided by PROMOSOL located in N'Djaména. Currently, there is a waiting list backlog of about sixty orders for cookers, as they try to keep pace with the enthusiastic response from the community. Once this current group is trained, they will begin in February to train others in the manufacture of the box cookers.
- December 2010: Offsets for Darfur: is an initiative designed by SENSE Foundation to target both environmental issues and support the Solar Cooker Project - an ingenious solar delivery and training program for Sudanese refugees in Chad based camps delivered and facilitated by Solar Cooker International, Kozon and Jewish World Watch. The benefits of "Offsets for Darfur" are twofold with both environmental and humanitarian aid aspects including the mitigation of: • carbon output in Chad refugee camps, • health issues related to firewood cooking. • women's safety issues related to sourcing firewood outside of camp boundaries • and unemployment in refugee camps - the project offers training and employment opportunities within the camps.
- December 2010: Solar power helps tackle deforestation. According to Climate Action Network (CAN), a worldwide network of roughly 500 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working to promote government and individual action to limit human-induced climate change, the Chad government's decision last year to ban the use of firewood for cooking was a brave attempt to reduce deforestation, but it has caused significant hardship among those who depended wood for cooking. It has been strictly enforced, and families have been forced to burn everything from furniture to plant roots to cook. The KoZon Foundation, the Chad Ministry of Women Affairs and other groups have distributed more than 2,000 solar stoves to women in areas of greatest need, primarily rural.

'People cannot cook. Women giving birth cannot even find a bit of charcoal to heat water for washing,' Mrs. Narmadji, with the Association of Women for Development in Chad, told IRIN."

- August 2006: Solar Cookers International (SCI) is partnering with The KoZon Foundation, a Dutch charitable group, to assist Darfur refugees living in Chad. In 2004, KoZon volunteer Derk Rijks trained fifteen women in the capital, N'Djamena. He returned in early 2005, after getting approval from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to start a solar cooker demonstration project at Iridimi refugee camp, one of the camps hosting Darfur refugees. Marie-Rose Néloum, one of the previously trained women, took the plight of the refugees to heart and joined Rijks to train refugee women to use solar CooKits and teach others, starting in early 2005. Women responded very enthusiastically and those who learned to solar cook fulfilled their promise to teach others. CooKits were soon assembled on-site by refugee women, who earn an income through this activity. A production workshop was completed in early 2006. The workshop is located in a neutral zone of the camp, close to the offices of the camp administrator, CARE. Refugee women from each of the camp's ten zones take turns training new groups of five to six people. The refugee women at Iridimi camp, as well as head trainer Néloum and two other staff, have persevered in promoting solar cooking even as the security situation has grown increasingly unstable since April 2006. As of July 2006 Iridimi camp had 32 certified solar cooking trainers, 21 CooKit assemblers, 566 trained families, and 1200 CooKits distributed, two to four per tent. Fifty-four women were interviewed in July 2006. Thirty-nine of them solar cook every day; twelve solar cook five to six days a week; and three solar cook two to four days a week. To minimize their reliance on firewood, many families would like to maximize use of all their CooKits. However, about a quarter of the families have sold one or more of their cooking pots in exchange for precious food. SCI and The KoZon Foundation are working together to provide supplies to make CooKits, training, monitoring and accountability to brighten the lives of Darfur refugees at Iridimi camp in Chad. Groups and organizations such as the Darfur Assistance Project and Jewish World Watch, both based in southern California (USA), and many individuals have donated to SCI in support of this project. Additional logistical and communications support from UNHCR and CARE International is invaluable in continuing project operations. Barring significant disruptions, each Iridimi camp household will have two or more CooKits by early 2007.
Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations
- Chad is generally sunny. Local sources of firewood are depleted. It is a good region for solar cooking. (Source: Juan Urrutia Sanz, 2010-Feb-15)

we don't let you cry it out but we let you cry because you need to exhaust yourself. i hold you and you cry. it's your thing you do. you fuss (cry) and you whimper (cry) and you almost settle but you always first wail (cry) so you can whimper (small cry) so you can sleep, finally sleep.
you pull my necklace and i play with your hair. you pull it, to bite. your head is sweaty from the crying. i rock us using my feet. i soothe you using my hands. gently, i play with your hair. you pull my necklace.
i swirl it in circles, gathering up its heat, its milky-sweet scent. i whirl with your whorls, then against them. you grab the strap of my tank top. you bite the fabric. i sculpt you a duck tail.
i got a flu shot today and you baby, you already know how to fidget. you pick at the bandaid on my arm as if it's a scab. i tease you a faux-hawk. you won't sleep, concentrating, so i remove my own bandaid. distraction gone, you chew my shirt again. i dip your tufts back into your dewy scalp, gathering more sweet sweat. you tug at the fabric. i spike you all over.
you incline against me, just a little, denying your sleepiness even as you relax into me. i swirl your locks. little ringlets curve around my fingers. your breathing quiets, just slightly.
you buck again to stare at me. do not go gently into this good night. i shape finger waves in your fine locks. you give a half-smile and slump, assenting. i smooth your hair into a peaceful cap for sleep.
except for one tendril, your superman curl: i tighten its form against your forehead. and into your crib, steadily, smoothly, i lay you gently down to sleep.

I have never so much as seen my mother and father hold hands or even talk to each other nicely for that matter. They are both gone now. It has been my experience that everytime I have opened myself up to allow someone into my life I've been hurt very badly. I learned along time ago to build that wall up around me. Unfortunately in doing that I shut myself off from my own children as well. Now I see my son doing the same thing. I'm learning now, one day at a time, to open myself up again and do not place any expectations on what I will receive in return but it's hard. Losing people who you love is very hard and I've learned to medicate those feelings because they were always too hard to deal with. That fear of abandonment still stays with me but at least now I'm facing it.Because I'm not sure what it is like to receive it, I'm not even sure how to give it. I must say though, that when I go to an AA meeting with all the new freinds I have met I do honestly feel loved there. But there, I don't worry if that feeling is real or not. It doesn't matter. It just feels good. My hubby still says he loves me all the time but he's leaving me. Still makes no sense to me. All I know is that he has his own inventory to deal with and if he needs to leave to be healthy and happy then I love him that much that I can let him go. I hold no resentment towards him for that although it does make me very upset that the marrage is over.My son still does not speak to me and has been very nasty to me but he has his own inventory to deal with and I love him enough to give him his space. If not having me in his life makes him happy and healthy then I love him that much that I can let go. It hurts like hell sometimes because I have a new grandson too but I hold no resentment towards him and I will always be here for him.Anyway, I really look forward to hearing the answer you received from that elderly lady. Don't wait too long to post it The only thing I know for sure is that love can sometimes hurt but if you close yourself off from the hurt you close yourself off from the love too.Bright Blessings,Crickit

We've always known E would have a full-sized bed and for the past two years or so, I've established a cute collection of girlie full-sized sheets based on the "fashion" bedding sales at Target. At the end of every pattern showcase, the sheets go on sale for $14.98 and I've bought sheets for my future full-sized-bedded girl. So now she has all these adorable sheets but they're of utilitarian-grade percale. They don't bother me at all to lie on them but with every movement of her body she feels another scratchy scratching. We're about to have the best-dressed pull-out sofa bed in Maryland.
I found a pair of 300-count sheets in purple at a reasonable price and brought them home but I made her feel them before I took them all the way out of the package. Still scratchy. Not very scratchy like now, but still not nice. She doesn't lie on her sheets at all right now, sleeping instead on top of her comforter, so I nearly convinced myself she doesn't need sheets at all. But then thank goodness for Target, it always comes through for me. This week they had a sale on bamboo jersey sheets. It took me three Targets to find them in stock in full size in purple, but I brought them home and they past the touch test: ooooh!! Really, really soft! The kid now sleeps on nicer sheets than we do.
Compounding this week's sleep troubles, E had a mosquito bite on the back of her arm. The bite itself didn't faze her terribly but in the aftermath of its healing there was, for a few days, a raised dry spot of skin. The dry spot was unbearable for her as everything brushed against it in her sleep. Three nights in a row she woke up crying about it. The first night we changed her shirt to long sleeves. The second night, for which she had refused to go to sleep in long sleeves, she asked for a damp washcloth to hold around her arm. On the third night she wanted another washcloth but I said no, for very, very early that morning she had awoken complaining about the wet spot in her bed. I offered, instead, to put a bandaid over the dry spot. This was very enticing because I usually enforce a "no blood, no bandaid" rule. She wanted a pony bandaid. She wanted to know which color she was getting. I refused to turn the light on to find out. That was when we saw the prettiest thing: if you open a bandaid in a pitch-black room the ungluing of the outer wrapper perimeter lights up with static electricity. It happens again when you lift the little protective tabs from the two adhesive ends of the bandaid. In that moment, when I dispatched a whole line of fairy twinkle to shelter her aggrieved arm, I thoroughly reinforced in her mind that yes, Mama really can make everything okay. One more crisis averted.

Coors Field, the mile-high home of the Colorado Rockies.
DENVER — Hello from beautiful Coors Field, where the entrance to the media parking lot is in Wyoming. OK, one small complaint about an otherwise fantastic ballpark. I always enjoy coming here, both to enjoy the scenic home of the Colorado Rockies and to enjoy the city of Denver, one of my favorite stops in the National League.
The Nationals open a four-game series tonight, with the unusual local starting time of 6:40 p.m. MDT (that's 8:40 p.m. for you folks back on the East Coast). Most notable thing about tonight's game is the return of John Lannan to the mound after missing his last start due to elbow inflammation. The lefty says he feels great after receiving a cortisone shot and throwing off a bullpen mound in New York. Then again, Jason Marquis also said he felt great after his own cortisone shot in the elbow and bullpen session. So there's obviously no guarantee here.
The Nats will field what's become their conventional lineup vs. right-handed starters, with Roger Bernadina in right field hoping to build off yesterday's breakout performance. Ivan Rodriguez back behind the plate, and Josh Willingham back in left field.
Plenty more to come later, so check back for updates throughout the evening…
Where: Coors Field
Gametime: 8:40 p.m.

I would love to see the statistics that show the percentage of the cases where one cortisone shot equals "all better".

I just wanted to point out, even though I am a little late…. that I was at the Nats- Mets game on Tuesday night for the big bullpen meltdown (one of the hardest games to ever be at the ballpark for). I was sitting in the first row in center field at CiTi, and Nyjer came to make a catch right at the wall under me, and as soon as he caught the ball, I yelled out "I love you Tony Plush!" and he gave me the weirdest look. He probably thought that i was some obnoxious Mets fan, and wondered how I knew about his "gentlemans" name. The Mets fans around me gave me weird looks, because they had been yelling Nyjer for the entire game, and were so confused as to who Tony Plush was. Fun times.. I thought I should just share. G NATS!

Ben, to be fair, it may have been the "I LOVE YOU" he was reacting to, not the TPlush. Just sayin.NB: The forecast is for high 40s and thunderstorms around 9pm. Not good odds of getting this one in, or is that good odds of not getting it in?
- Carl in 309 - May 14, 2010 at 12:26 AM
Vinny Castilla–a most pleasant blast from the past. I'm glad, Mark, that you had a chance to catch up with him. Though in his playing twilight with the Nats in 2005, he always exemplified playing with a never say die attitude. Another endearing recollection this week!
- Wendell - May 14, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Agree on Vinnie Castilla. What a classy guy. I followed him when he was with the Braves & was glad to see him sign with the Nats. He was one of my son's favorite players. Matthew's always asking, "Where's Vinnie?"

- Positively Half St. - May 14, 2010 at 2:31 AM
In a way, the number of people in visiting stadiums (stadia?) for Nats games is an indication of how they draw. That will improve.A few things:1. Vinnie Castilla- nothing but good wishes and thanks to him. If you ever talk to him again soon, please let him know that we original fans still have a special place in our heats for him.2. Lannan looks good.3. I found an unopened DVD of the Nats 2005 Return to Washington" DVD at Goodwill today. I feel like I should leave it unopened for the kids and grandkids someday.4. How do you pronounce Roger Bernadina's full first name (Rogearvin)?5. Can we perhaps get 5 full in with a lead and then a typhoon? I'm tired, but demand that we meet St. Louis's 20-15 record.+1/2St.
- Positively Half St. - May 14, 2010 at 2:34 AM
One more thing:I was writing while the TV was muted. The closed-captioning rendered our team's name as The Nationalities. I guess that is a pretty good advertisement for baseball's diversity, but it still speaks to our team not being a household name.
- Spike94wl - May 14, 2010 at 2:35 AM
Mark, how bad is the rain right now? Do you think that they're just playing to make it official and then they'll call it? I'm asking because I wouldn't mind if Lannan didn't have to push himself tonight.
- Positively Half St. - May 14, 2010 at 2:37 AM
After Zim's 2nd HR, we need to get through the bottom of the inning for sure.
- Anonymous - May 14, 2010 at 2:40 AM
Superstition.I am watching Zimm in his first AB, the phone rings, I go to answer it in the next room, and when I glimpse at the score on my XM radio, the Nats are up 2-0.A few minutes ago. Zimm hits one off his foot. I switch to the Cavs/Celtics game thinking it was good luck when I didn't watch Zimm's first HR. I turn the channel back a minute later–Zimm is entering the dugout after the three-run HR.I have discovered a cause and effect relationship betweeen my viewing behavior and Ryan Zimmerman hitting home runs.
- Les in NC - May 14, 2010 at 2:45 AM
not much difference in Lannan's fastball and changeup now….he needs to come out after this inning (assuming they make it thru the inning ofcourse).
- Carl in 309 - May 14, 2010 at 2:55 AM
Here we go again. Can't we just earn a big lead and hold it?
- David - May 14, 2010 at 3:23 AM
does anyone else think Lannan won't be able to lift his arm, just like Marquis, tomorrow? or was it just fatigue that lead to his drop in velocity?
- Anonymous - May 14, 2010 at 4:01 AM
jim tracy pissed they are still playing…should have said something when you were down 1 in the 7th and not 5 in the 8th…just weak tracy
- David - May 14, 2010 at 4:08 AM
i thought the win always goes to the pitcher on record when the lead was taken, if it occurs after the 5th inning…
- Mark Zuckerman - May 14, 2010 at 4:09 AM
David: That's correct, but the Nats were already winning when Lannan departed. He would normally be the pitcher of record, except he didn't last long enough. So in this case, it's the scorer's discretion.
- B.R. - May 14, 2010 at 4:12 AM
The last time the Washington Nationals scored 10 or more runs was on August 25, 2009, against Carlos Zambrano and the Chicago Cubs. Josh Willingham had two home runs, two singles and a walk. Zambrano hit a solo home run in opposition, off winning pitcher Garrett Mock.
- Natsochist - May 14, 2010 at 4:13 AM
Mark: Dibble just made a (gasp) decent point – why not take Zimm out of the game after that last hit? You've got a 6-run lead (again), there's six defensive outs left, and you still have Alberto Gonzalez available, who's played well at third earlier this year. It'd be nice not to have to worry about him getting hurt. Thoughts?
- Mark Zuckerman - May 14, 2010 at 4:15 AM
Natsochist: That's not a bad thought. Though, considering the Nats' penchant for making every single game close, you'd hate for things to get tense again and not have Zim in the game. If they score another run or two and go up 7 or 8, I'd definitely pull him. Really, it's remarkable the umps are letting this game continue under these conditions.
- Les in NC - May 14, 2010 at 4:19 AM
Is it too soon to go ahead and say the Nationals will come away from this game in sole possession of the NL wild Card spot?When was the last time THAT happened?
- David - May 14, 2010 at 4:20 AM
Oh I see. I was under the impression that at some point after Lannan left, the Rockies tied it up. If that had happened, would the scoring for the win revert to the standard "pitcher of record" rule? Giving the official score judgement on who was the most effective is an interesting and rarely used scoring rule. I've played and followed baseball my whole life and don't really remember that happening very often.
- Mark Zuckerman - May 14, 2010 at 4:22 AM
David: Yes, you've got it right. Had the Rockies tied or taken the lead, then whichever pitcher was in the game when the Nats retook the lead for good automatically gets the win. It is indeed rare for the scorer to have discretion, but it happens once in a while. Usually, though, it's pretty clear which pitcher deserves it, typically the first guy out of the pen. But I'm not sure Batista really deserves it in this case. With the game lopsided now, my guess is Slaten will get the win.
- David - May 14, 2010 at 4:23 AM

This has been a treat – waking up (in Slovakia) to check the score, discovering that the game was still going on, and then listening to that top of the 8th eruption. Looking forward to a return to Washington in August, if only to see some games.

Now these are the kinds of games that I like to see Brian Bruney pitching in. The kind that not even he could mess up.
- Natsochist - May 14, 2010 at 4:32 AM
Okay, this altitude is doing something – Bruney just pitched a 1-2-3 inning with 2K's. Someone pinch me.
- K.D. - May 14, 2010 at 4:33 AM
Now that nice crisp inning by Bruney was worth staying up for.
- Carl in 309 - May 14, 2010 at 4:33 AM
Anon, bit your tongue! But seriously, having survived the bottom of the 8th with a football score and presumably continuing rain, can we call this puppy yet? I've got my big lead, and Letterman is nearly over!

"Now these are the kinds of games that I like to see Brian Bruney pitching in. The kind that not even he could mess up."There was a reason I posted as Anonymous. Cause I was not taking the fall for a possible Brian Bruney implosion, which I admit, was somewhat worried would happen.

Mark,Great stuff again tonight, glad you could make the trip to Denver. I'll be checking in tomorrow to make sure the Rockies didn't pull a 9 spot on us in the bottom of the 9th. Sorry that you have to wait this out another hour plus walk back to Wyoming to get your car.~Going to Bed

Bright side to this game–beyond the prospective win, of course–we get a substantially reduced run differential. Cut in half, in fact, assuming the 14-6 score stands up.

Boehner, Obama Meet But Make No Progress On Deal To End Shutdown
By Mara Liasson
Oct 2, 2013
Day two of the government shutdown is nearing its finish, with no end in sight. And that's in spite of talks at the White House late today. President Obama met with House Speaker John Boehner for over an hour Wednesday evening. The meeting failed to produce a deal that would end the federal government shutdown.

The project will enable a substantial upgrade of the SAPREF refinery, thereby improving the quality of transportation fuels by reducing levels of sulfur, benzene and aromatics and meeting enhanced legislative requirements. The deal allows for a possible EPCm contract to be signed at a later date.
Fluor was awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract by South African Petroleum Refineries (SAPREF) for its Clean Fuels II project in Durban, South Africa, officials confirmed on Tuesday. The undisclosed contract value was booked in the first quarter of 2013.
This award builds on our significant clean fuels expertise as well as Fluors ongoing site support work with SAPREF in South Africa for nearly 20 years, said Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluors energy and chemicals business.
This new contract will be the first to be executed in Africa under Shells enterprise framework agreement with Fluor that encompasses engineering and project management services throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The project will enable a substantial upgrade of the SAPREF refinery, thereby improving the quality of transportation fuels by reducing levels of sulfur, benzene and aromatics and meeting enhanced legislative requirements. The agreement allows for the potential of an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contract to be signed at a later date.
SAPREF is a joint venture between Shell SA Refining and BP Southern Africa. It is the largest crude oil refinery in the region, representing 35% of South Africas refining capacity.

In refinery project for production of Hydrogen (inturn Synthesis Gas) from Natural Gas, should consider MIDREX (USA) reformer rather than conventional Steam-Methane Reformer (SMR0 or Auto thermal Reformer IATR). MIDREX reformer is more energy efficient when compare with conventional reformers

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Yes 58%
No 11%
Depends how long current prices last 30%

I noticed that the barrels on "Hell on Wheels" are stenciled "Kentucky Straight Bourbon", and was wondering when Bourbon was first referenced as "Straight"?
I noticed that the barrels on "Hell on Wheels" are stenciled "Kentucky Straight Bourbon", and was wondering when Bourbon was first referenced as "Straight"?
It was codified and given a meaning (although that meaning was to change) in the 1909 Taft Decision, which means if was in common use before that. It probably came into general use in the 1880s to distinguish real whiskey from compound (i.e., fake) whiskey. The legal meaning of 'straight' now is just aged at least two years, but the more general meaning is whiskey that hasn't been adulterated.

Col. Charles K. "Crotchety" Cowdery
"Whiskey Don't Keep."
This is one of the earliest published references, from 1869 (p. 274):
http://books.google.ca/books?id=sfkMAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA274&lpg=PA274&dq="strai ght+whiskey"&source=bl&ots=b04N1i-WmD&sig=zpVk5yDBZcmzU3TPOCEdgCuRSsY&hl=en&sa=X&ei= NyFuUPnWFoT3
In this usage, it meant taken neat, not mixed with water (as in toddy) or sugar (the "gum" mentioned is "gomme", French for a rich sugar solution) or anything else.
Dictionaries of Americanisms in the later 1800's reference this meaning. However, about the same time, it acquired the meaning of whiskey from the distillery, i.e., non-rectified or compounded whiskey. Which is an extension really or allied idea to the concept of taking it neat or pure so to speak.
Yet another meaning in the books is that straight meant tax-paid from the distillery, bonded as it became, as opposed to crooked, whiskey not tax paid and likely stretched with GNS or something else to enhance the value.
All these are gleaned from searches in google books and anyone can confirm them.
I'll pick a nit, as the reference is to straight whiskey, not straight bourbon, though the point about 'straight's' evolving meaning is right on.
Col. Charles K. "Crotchety" Cowdery
"Whiskey Don't Keep."
Fair enough Colonel.
In additional to the general meaning, it is also mightbe the legal meaning. The way I read the regulations, when "straight" is indicated, the whiskey hasn't been adulterated. Unless I am reading it wrong, the term "straight" is used for all bourbon 2+ years old, for other whiskeys that are 2+ years old and have not had any coloring or flavoring added to it. I am getting this from § 5.22(b)(1)(iii), which specifices that Whiskies conforming to the standards (for bourbon, rye, malt, corn whiskey, whiskey) .. stored for a period of 2 years or more shall befurther designated as straight, with the exception (from § 5.39 &§ 5.23) that if coloring, flavoring, and blending materials are added then the whiskey cannot be designated as a "straight" whiskey. While there are likely legacy products with wording on labels that do not conform with how the CFR currently defines "straignt," the way I read it is if the whiskey is 2+ years and meets the definition of one of the defined class & types of whiskey, it is either straight (with no coloring or flavoring) or not straight (with coloring and/or flavoring, like caramel, sugar, or blending sherry added).
Enoch since Civil War times the term Straight Bourbon has generally meant the good stuff.
In December, 1909, the Taft Decision created two kinds of whiskey, blended whiskey (which could contain unaged whiskey, neutral spirits, flavoring and coloring) and straight whiskey (which had to be 100% aged whiskey at least two years old, with nothing added). Before that, the term was used informally to mean roughly the same thing, but this made it law. That has been its legal meaning ever since.
Col. Charles K. "Crotchety" Cowdery
"Whiskey Don't Keep."
Straight is not inconsistent with flavoring added: a blend of straight whiskeys can under certain circumstances include permitted flavoring and coloring. In my view, the term straight primarily is intended to refer to added age, meaning whiskey at least two years old and not just bourbon, say, aged for a time.
Flavoring and coloring can be added only if disclosed, i.e., "straight bourbon whiskey with ..." You can't add flavoring or coloring and just call it "bourbon" or, if 2 years old, "straight bourbon." In the dichotomy of "straight" vs "blended," blends can be flavored/colored while straights cannot.

From the vantage point of his health, mine, and the steamy heat of August, that's all almost not stressful to remember.
To celebrate the occasion of his half-year mark, G decided to learn to crawl this week. Oh, he's been rolling over sideways across whole rooms for a while now. And he's been doing the scootch-a-tiny-left, reverse, schootch-a-tiny-right maneuver that looks like infant driver's ed parallel parking lessons. But then three days ago he finally decided to lift his belly off of the ground. Only, he took his knees along for the ride. So he looked like a beginner yoga practicioner with poor downward dog form (tuck your head!) or a beefhead frat boy showing off in a push-ups competition, but he still hadn't perfected a "typical" crawling formation.
But really now, why go with typical?
He's been rearing his entire body up, and then slamming down in a forward motion. He looks like an inchworm, if inchworms practiced sumo body slams. His babyfat backrolls quiver in the aftershocks. Or perhaps he looks like he's launching, only to crash spectacularly again. His politely euphemistic teacher says he's trying to fly instead of crawl. Sometimes I think he looks like he's practicing the butterfly swim stroke. He lunges deep to gather speed. He soars high into the air. He throws his arms behind him.
He faceplants. Again.
And smiles with pride.
He's a couple inches closer now.
I'm not going to lie; it's pretty awesome. I don't know why he hasn't thought to use those arms for forward progress yet. Most kids who commando crawl use their wrists; he's using his chin and nipples.
So if his face is looking a little chafed, please don't stare. He's a man on the move, and that, apparently, is what he's decided is important.

The nuclear industry needs to satisfy the multi-criteria approach to risk that banks take when they decide whether to invest in a large infrastructure project. Only then, can it expect to attract this form of financing to nuclear new build projects, writes Ron Cameron on the latest WNN Editorial article.
Specifically,says Cameron, banks look for long-term certainty on price, stable government policy, industry reputation, regulatory certainty, the process for addressing planning and environmental issues and public acceptance, in addition to the economics of the project.
Cameron argues that European wholesale electricity markets are currently not favourable to nuclear power, however. That, he says, is because the role of nuclear in offsetting the negative effect on price of feed-in tariffs and grid priorities for renewable forms of energy is not adequately recognised. The cost to the system of having intermittency of supply is often borne by the nuclear plants through their role in providing back-up generating capacity or otherwise by the consumer through higher electricity prices, subsidies or taxes. With no level playing field for nuclear in liberalised electricity markets, there is a real difficulty in seeing where nuclear new build is going to come from in Europe, without government action. Cameron thinks that there is a need to explicitly recognise the advantages that nuclear power provides to stabilise these markets long term, to support the move to a low carbon economy and to help with security of supply.

Product CareSimple care is all that is needed in maintaining this product.

Run the shower spray briefly to purge the loosened deposits.
