The state-controlled media in Equatorial Guinea, where coup leader Teodoro Obiang has held power since 1979, was ordered not to report on any of the happenings in Egypt whatsoever, according to African news site afrol.com.
Meanwhile, media across the globe congratulated the people of Egypt and praised Mubarak's exit, with several newspaper headline reading "FINALLY."
Leaders from around the world also showered the Egyptian people with praise, From Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to Philippine President Benigno Aquino III.
"My view is that the people of this most ancient civilization truly deserve a most modern of democracies," Rudd told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
Philippine democracy icon Aquino III – who came to power in a revolt that toppled the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos -- welcomed the "relatively peaceful resolution" in Egypt, and noted that it showed that "aspirations for a more free and fair society are universal."

The present invention relates to chemically-modified electrolyte membranes and integral multi-layered polymer electrolyte membranes for applications in fuel cells. The present invention further relates to polymer electrolyte membranes and membrane configurations to reduce liquid fuel crossover with minimal effects on fuel cell performance.
Fuel cells are electrochemical cells in which a free energy change resulting from a fuel oxidation reaction is converted into electrical energy. Applications for fuel cells include battery replacement, mini- and microelectronics such as portable electronic devices, sensors such as gas detectors, seismic sensors, and infrared sensors, electromechanical devices, automotive engines and other transportation power generators, power plants, and many others. One advantage of fuel cells is that they are substantially pollution-free.
Electrochemical fuel cells convert fuel and oxidant fluid streams to electricity and reaction product. Solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells generally employ a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) comprising a solid polymer electrolyte or ion-exchange membrane disposed between two porous electrically conductive electrode layers. An electrocatalyst is typically disposed at each membrane/electrode layer interface to induce the desired electrochemical reaction.
The electrode substrate typically comprises a sheet of porous, electrically conductive material, such as carbon fiber paper or carbon cloth. The layer of electrocatalyst is typically in the form of finely committed metal, such as platinum, palladium, or ruthenium, and is disposed on the surface of the electrode substrate at the interface with the membrane electrolyte in order to induce the desired electrochemical reaction. In a single cell, the electrodes are electrically coupled to provide a path for conducting electrons between the electrodes through an external load.
The fuel stream directed to the anode by a fuel flow field migrates through the porous anode and is oxidized at the anode electrocatalyst layer. The oxidant stream directed to the cathode by an oxidant flow field migrates through the porous cathode and is reduced at the cathode electrocatalyst layer.
Electrochemical fuel cells can employ gaseous fuels and oxidants, for example, those operating on molecular hydrogen as the fuel and oxygen in air or a carrier gas (or substantially pure oxygen) as the oxidant. In hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen gas is oxidized to form water, with a useful electrical current produced as a byproduct of the oxidation reaction. A solid polymer membrane electrolyte layer can be employed to separate the hydrogen fuel from the oxygen. The anode and cathode are arranged on opposite faces of the membrane. Electron flow along the electrical connection between the anode and the cathode provides electrical power to load(s) interposed in circuit with the electrical connection between the anode and the cathode. The anode and cathode reactions in hydrogen/oxygen fuel cells are shown in the following equations:
The catalyzed reaction at the anode produces hydrogen cations (protons) from the fuel supply. The ion-exchange membrane facilitates the migration of protons from the anode to the cathode. In addition to conducting protons, the membrane isolates the hydrogen-containing gaseous fuel stream from the oxygen-containing gaseous oxidant stream. At the cathode electrocatalyst layer, oxygen reacts with the protons that have crossed the membrane to form water as the reaction product. Hydrogen fuel cells are impractical for many applications, however, because of difficulties related to storing and handling hydrogen gas.
Organic fuel cells can prove useful in many applications as an alternative to hydrogen fuel cells. In an organic fuel cell, an organic fuel such as methanol or formic acid is oxidized to carbon dioxide at an anode, while air or oxygen is simultaneously reduced to water at a cathode. One advantage over hydrogen fuel cells is that organic/air fuel cells can be operated with a liquid organic fuel. This diminishes or eliminates problems associated with hydrogen gas handling and storage. Some organic fuel cells require initial conversion of the organic fuel to hydrogen gas by a reformer. These are referred to as "indirect" fuel cells. The presence of a reformer increases cell size, cost, complexity, and start up time. Other types of organic fuel cells, called "direct," eliminate these disadvantages by directly oxidizing the organic fuel without conversion to hydrogen gas. To date, fuels employed in direct organic fuel cell development methanol and other alcohols, as well as formic acid and other simple acids.
In fuel cells of this type the reaction at the anode produces protons, as in the hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell described above, however the protons (along with carbon dioxide) arise from the oxidation of the organic fuel, such as formic acid. An electrocatalyst promotes the organic fuel oxidation at the anode. The organic fuel can alternatively be supplied to the anode as vapor, but it is generally advantageous to supply the organic fuel to the anode as a liquid, preferably as an aqueous solution. The anode and cathode reactions in a direct formic acid fuel cell are shown in the following equations:
The protons formed at the anode electrocatalyst migrate through the ion-exchange membrane from the anode to the cathode, and at the cathode electrocatalyst layer, the oxidant reacts with the protons to form water.
One obstacle to the widespread commercialization of direct fuel cell technology is fuel crossover from the anode to the cathode through the typical proton exchange membranes (such as, for example, perfluorosulfonic acid membranes, of which Nafion� is a commercial brand). Fuel crossover lowers fuel utilization efficiency and also adversely affects the cathode (oxygen-reduction electrode), resulting in poor fuel cell performance. Fuel crossover also reduces the run time for a given amount of fuel and creates excess heat and water on the cathode side of the cells.
Fuel that crosses over avoids reaction at the anode, and thus cannot be exploited for electrical energy. This limits cell efficiency. An additional problem related to crossover is poisoning of the cathode. As fuel crosses over the polymer membrane to the cathode side, it adsorbs onto the cathode catalyst and thereby blocks reaction sites. Efficiency of the cell is thereby reduced. A proposed solution to this problem has been to provide additional catalyst. This adds expense; however, particularly when considering that costly precious and semi-precious metal catalysts such as platinum are often employed.
Because of this high crossover, methanol and other alcohol fuel cells typically operate with a fuel concentration of no more than about 3-8% by weight. The use of those dilute solutions creates additional problems. This low fuel concentration requires relatively large amounts of ultra-pure water, typically provided through recycling systems including pumps and filters. Also, the concentration of the fuel should be closely monitored and controlled, with the result that sensors and controllers may be required. This peripheral equipment adds cost, complexity, weight, and size to direct organic fuel cells. This required peripheral water management equipment substantially limits the usefulness of direct methanol fuel cells for applications where size and weight become important. For portable, miniature, and microelectronics applications, for example, the size, weight, and complexity of the required peripheral equipment make use of direct fuel cells impractical.
Further, the dilute solutions freeze and expand at temperatures potentially encountered in many fuel cell applications, with portable devices for use outside as an example. The expansion can lead to device failure. Conduit et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,528,194 teaches that the freezing can be avoided by circulating heated fluid through the fuel tank when the fuel cell is not operating. However, that wastes power and adds complexity.
Proton exchange membranes with low liquid fuel permeation (or low crossover) can allow the use of liquid fuels with high concentration. The ability to use a fuel in a higher concentration increases the energy density available from a direct fuel cell, which is particularly attractive for portable electronic applications such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, and handheld gaming platforms. The crossover of formic acid has generally been demonstrated to be lower than the crossover of methanol. Nonetheless, the use of formic acid concentrations higher than 10M could also lead to an unacceptable level of fuel loss with typical Nafion� proton-conducting membranes.
Several shortcomings of the membranes for use with direct fuel cells are overcome by the present composite polymer electrolyte membranes and electrode assemblies for reducing fuel crossover in direct liquid feed fuel cells. Such a membrane used in connection with direct fuel cells are able to achieve a reasonably low liquid fuel crossover rate while using a high fuel concentration.
In one embodiment, a composite proton exchange membrane comprises:
In preferred embodiments, one or more of the membrane layers comprises perfluorosulfonic acid polymer or sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (abbreviated "SPEEK"). In more preferred embodiments, one or more of the membrane layers comprises a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer or sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) that has been post-polymerized with poly(furfuryl alcohol), poly(furan carbinol), poly(furfuryl acetate), or polyalkenylfuran.
In a preferred embodiment, a hydrophobic polymer layer is interposed between the inner membrane layer and one of the outer membrane layers, the hydrophobic layer having an exterior peripheral portion substantially coextensive with the inner membrane layer peripheral portion. In another preferred embodiment, a first hydrophobic polymer layer is interposed between the inner membrane layer and one of the first and second outer membrane layers, and a second hydrophobic polymer layer is interposed between the inner membrane layer and the other outer membrane layer, each of the hydrophobic polymer layers having an exterior peripheral portion substantially coextensive with the inner membrane layer peripheral portion. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic polymer comprises polytetrafluoroethylene or polyvinylidenefluoride.
In another embodiment, a membrane electrode assembly for a direct liquid feed fuel cell comprises:
In another embodiment, a gasketed membrane electrode assembly for a direct liquid feed fuel cell comprises:
In another embodiment, a reactor comprising a composite proton exchange membrane comprises:
In a preferred embodiment, the reactor is a direct liquid feed fuel cell. In another preferred embodiment, the reactor is an electrolysis cell. In another preferred embodiment, the reactor is a reformer for an indirect liquid feed fuel cell. In another preferred embodiment, the proton exchange membrane is rolled to form a spiral.
In another embodiment, a portable electronic device comprising a direct liquid feed fuel cell comprising a composite proton exchange membrane comprises:
A composite membrane assembly is provided with improvements that reduce fuel crossover. In accordance with the present invention, materials and structures are deployed within a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), to inhibit liquid fuel crossover while operating with high fuel concentrations, and maintaining overall cell resistance in an efficient range. Such an MEA can be used within a liquid feed fuel cell system, using organic liquid fuels such as methanol or formic acid.
The present membrane electrode assembly comprises three principal parts: the anode catalyst layer, the cathode catalyst layer and a membrane structure, which are each involved in the production of useable electrochemical power. The protonically conductive membrane structure separates the anode from the cathode and provides a path between the same for ion exchange, thereby allowing current to be drawn from the assembly.
More specifically,
The membrane 10 in
In a specific embodiment of membrane 10, the outer and inner membranes are each composed of perfluorosulfonic acid polymer such as Nafion�.
Using highly concentrated fuel is desirable to increase stored energy density, however this increases crossover and membrane corrosion damage especially in the case of formic acid fuel, which is highly corrosive. While the previously described membrane 10 provides benefits over known structures, additional benefit can be provided by treating or coating some or all of the membranes in various combinations, allowing higher concentrations of fuel to be used with further cross-over reduction and increased membrane durability.
Typically, in a proton-conducting polymer electrolyte, proton conductivity depends on the mobility of water molecules according to the transport mechanism (H+(H2O)n). In order to inhibit the transport of the fuel molecule (formic acid or/methanol) with high affinity to water, the hydrophilicity of electrolyte directly related to proton conductivity should be decreased. The membrane materials that show lower fuel permeability usually exhibit lower proton conductivity. This problem can be alleviated, while reducing cell resistance, by employing thinner membranes in a fuel cell membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The thinner membranes, however, could potentially lead to poor mechanical strength and long-term stability problems. To overcome these difficulties, we present here an approach involving modified protonically conductive membranes and integral multilayered membranes.
A post-polymerization treatment or modification can be made to a PEM layer formed of perfluorosulfonic acid polymer, to modify the hydrophilic properties, reducing membrane swelling and hence fuel crossover. The hydrophilic ionic channels dispersed in a hydrophobic matrix in a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membrane can change with operating conditions, for example, channel swelling and subsequent increase in fuel crossover. The modification of the hydrophilic channels by in situ polymerization in the channels has been found to alter the hydrophilic properties, restrict the channel size, reduce the swelling rate of the membrane, and therefore reduce formic acid crossover of the modified membrane. At the same time, the membrane conductivity is not significantly decreased. The modification is achieved by cross-linking the membrane with chemically resistant polymers, selected to resist the liquid fuel composition used with the membrane. The post-polymerization results in modifications through the volume of treated membrane and not just at the surface, the term post-polymerization is appropriate as an existing polymer membrane has the mobility of polymer chains altered in-situ.
The class of chemically resistant polymers and specifically acid-resistant polymers applied to perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membranes for the post-polymerization modification includes, poly(furfuryl alcohol), polyfuran, poly(furan carbinol), poly(furfuryl acetate) and polyalkenylfuran. Preferably, poly(furfuryl) alcohol is used incorporating the cross-linked structures shown below:
The polymer chains with cross-linked structures make poly(furfuryl alcohol) hydrophobic. The post-polymerization process for the example of poly(furfuryl alcohol) is carried out in absence of oxygen.
The post-polymerization process can be catalyzed by formic acid and hence the poly(furfuryl alcohol) is stable in formic acid solution. Alternatively, the post-polymerization reactions can be catalyzed by different catalysts, such as iodine, tin chloride, ultraviolet light, oxidant, and acid, provided acceptable stability with the selected fuel is maintained. An exemplary method for post-polymerization includes the following steps:
The resulting poly(furfuryl alcohol) modified Nafion� membrane can be used as inner membrane 22 in composite membrane 10. The modified Nafion� membrane is fairly stable in formic acid solution because its polymerization is catalyzed by acid. In an alternate embodiment, the modified perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membrane can be substituted for outer membranes and inner membrane shown in
A second class of solutions includes adding impermeable (hydrophobic) coatings on the inner and/or outer membranes in the "active" area, within a similar compound membrane structure using edge-bonded film. The hydrophobic barrier layers block liquid fuel permeation. Preferably the layers are formed of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated on perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membrane. Alternate materials include PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride). Exemplary hydrophobic coating membrane structures are shown in
An embodiment with a single hydrophobic layer is illustrated in
A compound membrane 50 with two hydrophobic layers on either side of the inner membrane is illustrated in
Alternate embodiments can have the hydrophobic layer located within or on the outer membrane layers as illustrated in
Composite structures with two hydrophobic layers are illustrated in
In the examples shown in
The composite membranes disclosed can be assembled as a membrane electrode assembly within a fuel cell, as shown in
The composite membranes described herein are also ideal for use in a fuel cell system with a liquid fuel reformer using electrochemical methods to convert liquid fuel to hydrogen at the anode side of the composite membrane. Low crossover membrane will results in lower reformate losses and achieve a higher reformer conversion rate. The composite membranes described herein can be used in a fuel cell apparatus, operated in reverse in an electrolysis mode.
The crossover membrane embodiments have been shown as substantially planar, but can be used in non-planar configurations, such as the jelly roll type structure of
The performance of formic acid fuel cells using the disclosed composite membranes has been found to have advantages in reduced fuel crossover and extended use with acceptable cell resistance in the range of known membranes. Using post-polymerized perfluorosulfonic acid polymer in a composite membrane was found to reduce fuel crossover at ambient and high temperature operation, and to perform well during extended life testing.
A study was undertaken to determine whether membrane structures with the post-polymerization membrane, would reduce fuel crossover and leaks. A composite membrane was prepared using the poly(furfuryl alcohol)-modified Nafion� 115 membrane with regular Pd black anode and Pt black cathode catalyst layers being applied. The treatment was to one of the composite Nafion� layers. The fuel was 50% formic acid by weight (formic acid stock obtained from Fluka division of Sigma-Aldrich Co.). The flow rate to the anode was 0.3 ml/min. Air was supplied to the cathode at a flow rate of 200 ml/min at ambient pressure.
The performance was compared to a MEA formed with an untreated Nafion� 115 inner membrane. Very good performance can be achieved in the cell at 40� C. cell temperature. From the polarization curve in
To evaluate formic acid crossover in the fuel cell test fixture, the cells were operated in an external power supply-driven mode, and the crossover formic acid was oxidized at the fuel cell cathode under flowing nitrogen gas at a rate of 300 ml/min. A linearly voltammetric scan was applied to the fuel cell cathode and oxidation current response of crossed-over formic acid at fuel cell cathode is recorded. This measurement allows direct determination of magnitude of crossover of membrane using limiting current density. The limiting current density is reached as soon as the reaction on the cathode surface is so fast in comparison to mass transport that the concentration at the electrode surface sinks to zero. The limiting current density is then linearly proportional to bulk concentration (mol/m3) in the electrolyte membrane layer, representing a proxy measurement for the fuel crossover. The working potential was controlled with an external power supply. The results of the limiting current tests are shown in
To show that the composite membrane is durable and corrosion-resistant to formic acid fuel, the fuel crossover was determined by measuring limiting current density periodically during a continuous operation as shown in
Further test data is shown in
An additional study was undertaken to determine whether membrane structures with the PTFE coated membrane layer, would improve performance of the MEA by reducing fuel crossover and leaks. A composite membrane was prepared using PTFE coated Nafion� 115 membrane with regular Pd black anode and Pt black cathode catalyst layers being applied. Both single sided (
The formic acid crossover of Nafion� membrane was found to be suppressed using single-sided PTFE coated membrane layer (the membrane configuration is shown in
The limiting current density for a composite membrane with both single and double sided PTFE coated inner membrane, was periodically evaluated during long term tests as shown in

Sir Francis Drake : Sailor, Seaman, Politician and Engineer is best remembered as an explorer. In his most famous ship, The Golden Hind, he became the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe in an epic expedition of plunder and discovery, over 435 years ago. Shakespeare was thirteen when Drake embarked on his voyage.
The hardship endured in overcrowded and primitive quarters was unbelievable. Only 56 men survived with Drake, returning three years and 40,000 miles later, with a vast cargo of treasure worth hundreds of millions of pounds in today's money. Queen Elizabeth's share alone was more than the countries national debt. 'El Draco' or 'The Dragon' became one of the most famous men in Western Europe, and was feared and reviled by the Spanish.
Drake was duly knighted onboard in Deptford, London. Come aboard and explore the ship that was home to Drake and his crew of 70. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of life aboard a Tudor ship. Feel the romance of the seas in the great age of sail. The Ship rises and falls with the tide up to three metres.

Good costume, I wore it to my friend's Halloween party. This costume doesn't do too much rather than cover your breasts and crotch. Stretchy material, but it's cheap and can tear easily. I don't recommend it for people who have sensitive skin, about 20 minute after I put it on, I was itching and…BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

First Floor
186 Portobello Road, London, United Kingdom W11 1LAMap
+44 20 7243 0072
Neighborhood: Notting Hill/ Ladbroke Grove
Cuisine: British & Irish
Located on Portobello Road, the First Floor Restaurant has been pulling in crowds for the past two decades with its Bohemian decor and contemporary food. However, some critics have noticed a decline in both food and service. Airy with high ceilings and richly Bohemian with heavy drapes, mahogany chairs and dried-flower arrangements, this is an ideal venue for casual meals or romantic dates. The innovative cuisine was a bit expensive than other eateries in the area when it first opened, but today is comparable to similar restaurants. There is a top floor private dining room, which can cater to around hundred people. It's also a popular venue for christenings, engagements and corporate breakfast meetings.

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum
In an industry that produces the world's most vital commodity, talented workers are fast becoming its most prized resource. Around the world, the petroleum industry is facing a significant talent gap, with a large part of its workforce set to retire over the next decade and younger workers being drawn to other sectors.
While this issue presents oil companies with significant challenges over the coming years, it also provides government-owned national oil companies (NOCs) in the region with valuable opportunities to unleash innovation, provide new jobs and boost local economies.
To explore these opportunities, key decision makers from the oil and gas industry, along with many high-profile government officials and regulators from around the world, will gather in Dubai for The CWC Group's NOCs & Governments Summit, being held at The Address Hotel in Dubai Marina from September 17-19. The Summit is held under the Patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum.
"Right now, several key factors are coming together to create an unprecedented opportunity in the region," said Hannah Lawrence, NOCs & Governments Summit Director of The CWC Group. "While vast oil resources have provided the region with financial resources and rapid development, the industry is now becoming increasingly focused on maximising yields from areas that traditionally have been harder to access. To accomplish this goal, new technologies and innovative strategies are needed. This challenge, paired with the region's fast-growing youth population who are in need of new job opportunities, provides regional governments with a powerful opportunity to create the next stage of economic development."
H. Frederic Ponton, CWC Group's Director of Government Relations – Middle East said, "The NOCs & Governments Summit is billed as 'The meeting place for NOCs, Governments & Industry,' and will explore strategies for stimulating long-term, sustainable economic growth in oil-producing countries. The summit will feature a slate of seminars on improving job creation in the industry while boosting investments in research and development. The summit will close with a panel discussion on oil wealth sharing and maximizing the benefits of oil production for local economies."
The sessions will feature case studies from key countries such as Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ghana, Iraq, Libya, Oman and the United Kingdom.
"By 2020, the region's economies will need to create 51 million jobs to meet the demand of growing populations,"
The NOCs & Governments Summit is a powerful platform to explore strategies for investing in talent and technology over the coming years, while unleashing the industry's potential and boosting economies around the region."
Key speakers at the NOCs & Governments Summit include: Dr Othman Salman Gihlan, Director General Legal Department, Iraq's Council of Ministers; Dr Ali Salhi, Chairman for Oil and Economic Development, Governorate of Kirkuk; Sami Al-Rushaid, Chairman & Managing Director, Kuwait Oil Company; Hashim Al-Rifaai, Chairman, Kuwait Gulf Oil Company; Aldo Flores-Quiroga, Secretary General, International Energy Forum; Manuel Ferreira De Oliveira, President, Galp Energia; Hon Emmanuel A Kofi Buah, Deputy Minister of Energy, Ministry of Energy, Ghana; Eng Ernest Nwapa, Executive Secretary & CEO, Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board; Mark Carne, Executive Vice President MENA, Shell Upstream International;

Buzztap is a slam dunk for sports fans who need to know what's going on in NBA and Stanley Cup Finals, as well as any other major professional and college sports league. Unlike many of my friends – especially the more vocal ones on Facebook – I'm not so invested in the NBA, but the Blackhawks vs. Bruins is going to be fun to watch. I tend to be a jockette of all trades, enjoying a variety of sports, and Buzztap has info on pretty much anything of interest in that area, including MLB, MLS and even a sport I find a yawner – pro golf. (Sorry, dad!)
What makes this app great – besides the fact that it's free and recently added on Windows Phone 8 — is how it organizes an overwhelming array of information by sport, league, team, coach, or athlete. For the voracious reader, the app is constantly adding news sources, blogs, and discussion forums.
Buzztap has already been out on Windows 8, but this mobile version should fulfill any sportsaholic's wishes, in that it acts as a hub in your hand for just about every topic trending in the very wide world of sports. (If one app isn't enough, you can also peruse the Sports News collection of apps.)
So long as you're connected to the Internet, you're going to get the latest news. And because you're on a Windows Phone, you can pin your favorite sports, leagues, or teams right to your Start screen for easy access.
You can download the app in the Windows Phone store.

Sounds good: Argonne researcher represents data with music
Music sounds better with bacteria: a scientist has swapped graphs for music in order to represent data on microbes
Article Summary
Scientists often need to find creative ways to present data visually so others can interpret it more easily. Peter Larsen, of the Argonne National Laboratory in the U.S., decided to do something a little different: he represented microbial data with sounds. More specifically, he sonified data relating to bacteria collected from the western part of the English Channel.

Chavez Jr. couldnt have chosen a more worthy opponent this side of Sergio Martinez, and Martinez should get his crack at Chavez Jr. and the title if Chavez defeats Lee.
Not moving so fast lets talk about the back-story of this fight, Chavez a 61 middleweight usually comes into the ring at cruiserweight on fight night after having made the 160lb limit only a day earlier. Andy Lee as mentioned before is the Kronk gym middleweight champion who fights under the watchful eyes of Kronk head trainer Emanuel Steward. The same Manny Steward who analyzes fights for HBO and has seen Chavez Jr. in action on a couple of occasions on HBOs air.
One would have to believe during his analysis of Chavez Jrs. fights against John Duddy and Marco Rubio, Steward mustve checked off bullet points on his check list regarding Chavez Jrs strengths and weaknesses. Steward mustve been thinking about throwing Andy Lees hat in the ring at some point to face Chavez Jr. Steward probably had been brewing up a concoction in terms of a strategy a game plan for Lee to beat Chavez Jr. prior to this fight being made, and it was only made because of Stewards reconnaissance. And on Saturday nite well see what Andy Lee has to offer.
Without Steward, Lee probably wouldve been relegated to journeyman by now, but with Steward, whos training ability honed by 35+ years of experience, having trained Thomas Hearns, Hilmer Kenty earlier, Cornelius Bundrage and Wladimir Klitschko lately, to name a few; Lee has managed to rise to higher level pugilistic prowess. Reclamation and rejuvenation is one of Stewards great contributions to his fighters most of whom have suffered terrible losses only to be restored by Stewards training practices. Chavez Sr. was trained by Steward in the later years of his career, which probably added a few more years and victories to it. K9 Bundrage, prior to hooking up with Steward who trains and manages him, was journeyman fighter with a limited upside, under Stewards watch Bundrage is now IBF 154lb champion. Miguel Cotto called on Steward after devastating losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao; and under Stewards tutelage Cotto won the WBA 154lb crown. And look at what Steward has done with Wladimir Klitschko?
All-in-All if Lee is to pull off a victory against Chavez Jr. who will outweigh Lee by 10 or more pounds; Lee will have to stick to the gameplan made for him by Steward which will probably be to box and avoid brawling with the bigger man. If Lee does this he could come out on top/victorious, on Saturday nite and will owe a lot of his success to hard work and Manny Steward.

Digital Collections Highlighted
The MHS was among several Boston-area repositories featured in Sam Allis' Saturday Boston Globe article "Historic collections meet the 21st century." Allis highlights HIstoric New England's new online collections database, and also reports on digitization efforts at the Boston Public Library, the American Antiquarian Society, and the Boston Athenaeum.
Among our digital projects mentioned by Allis are our presentations of Thomas Jefferson's manuscript of "Notes on the State of Virginia" (you can also view Jefferson's book catalogues, farm and garden books, a copy of the Declaration of Independence in his hand, and many of his architectural drawings on our Thomas Jefferson Papers website) and our forthcoming digital collection of materials relating to the Siege of Boston during the Revolutionary War.
For the Adams Family Papers (which amount to some 300,000 manuscript pages in all) we host several different types of digital collection. The diaries and autobiography of John Adams, plus the correspondence between John and Abigail Adams (nearly 1,200 letters) are available in digital facsimile with transcriptions through the Adams Family Papers Electronic Archive. The diaries of John Quincy Adams (some 14,000 pages) are presented in digital facsimile, searchable or browsable by date (and JQA's line-a-day diaries are currently being broadcast via Twitter, after which the transcriptions are added to the digital facsimile pages). And thirty-two volumes of the published Adams Papers are freely available as annotated transcriptions as part of the Adams Papers Digital Editions.
But our digital collections go far beyond the Adamses and Jefferson. You can browse the full list of our digital offerings here, but among the collections launched (fairly) recently are our Coming of the Revolution site, which features an interactive timeline of documents covering the period 1764-1776; African Americans and the End of Slavery in Massachusetts, a collection of 117 manuscript and printed documents from our collections including letters and poems by Phillis Wheatley and our (unique) copy of Samuel Sewall's anti-slavery pamphlet The Selling of Joseph. If maps are more your style, check out Massachusetts Maps, a selection of 104 maps (mostly unique manuscripts) from our collections. Or there's the ever-popular MHS Highlights Gallery, where you can see many of the most popular and striking visual items housed at the Society.
We hope you enjoy our digital collections, and always welcome feedback about them. Just email firstname.lastname@example.com, and I'll pass them along.

E3 2014 | Beautiful Destruction: World of Warships
Posted on June 12, 2014 AT 02:17pm
Wargaming is one of the largest and most successful Free to Play (F2P) MMO developers in video games today. Wargaming.net – the portal to their World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and soon to be released World of Warships games – boasts over 85 million active users world-wide.
The Wargaming community is vehemently passionate about their games, and rightly so. The developers are just as passionate about crafting gorgeous, historically accurate, and wickedly fun games for the community, and World of Warships is no different.
Announced at E3 last year, players of World of Warships participate in large naval battles controlling various warships from the 20th century. Players can select from several types of warships including swift cruisers (perfect for recon missions), destroyers (you know, that destroy everything in their paths), and aircraft carriers that offer long-range air support for allies in battle.
The demo that I was treated to at E3 featured a capture the flag match where our goal was to deftly manage to lure our enemies out into open battle in open water while our allied destroyer made a run for the enemy flag. For an alpha build, I was surprised at how great the game looked. The level of detail paid to the cruiser's appearance and depth of its skill tree (upgrades and customizations) really took me back. Even more surprising was the speed at which we were able to navigate the customizations, run the length of ship and not once lose a pixel of detail or loss of frame rate. Did I mention it was an Alpha build we were playing yet? Because it's been quite a while since I've experienced any Alpha runs with no bugs. Kudos to you team Wargaming.
Within moments of jumping into the game, we were engaged in battle. It's worth noting that while the ships you control and the arenas you fight in are quite large, it will take no time at all to find a fight. As we talked about game mechanics, the team made sure to note that at the max it will take less than 60 seconds for fights to jump off, so players don't need to worry about sailing for 5 minutes or more in order to find and engage the enemy.
Fire fights are fast and furious in the game. Each ship has two indicator bars that appear above them. The red bar indicates how much damage the ship has taken (much like a traditional health meter) while the blue bar indicates buoyancy. It's here where strategic thinking comes into play. Players can focus attack efforts below the waterline of enemy vessels in attempts to sink them versus destroying them with aerial attacks. Watching vessels split in half and fall to the bottom of the ocean is not only cool, but somehow much more gratifying than just blowing them up.
If MMO battle combat is your thing or if you love great PC F2P games, World of Warships needs to be on your radar. Be sure to watch the World of Warships website to learn when you can have the battle at your fingertips.

Specs are as follows
Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 @ 2.00GHz
4GB RAM @ 667MHz
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M 256MB (Working with Translucent Effects and Ripple )
5400RPM 2.5 Hitachi 250GB HDD
Atheros 9285 Mini PCIe Wireless Card
PBDS DVD+-RW DS-8W1P DVD/CD Burner
Here we go, first before installing Lion, you mist enter the BIOS and disable SPEEDSTEP as well as MULTICORE support to start Lion, After doing that SAVE/Exit the BIOS, No commands have to be entered to start Lion but I use the -v command just in case. It will take a bit of time to get to the OS X install screen so you have to be patient.
Assuming that you are at the OS X installer screen, Go into Disk Utility and then to the Partition Tab then from the Partition Layout select your partition. After selecting that, click on the Format Tab and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) After doing so, click on Options and Then Select MBR and click on OK, then Apply.
Next, lol dont just click click click because unlike Snow Leopard, Lion lets you select the HDD and customize at the same time so be careful or you will install without checking the right installation files.
Heres what needs to be checked and keep in mind this is a 32 bit install
RTC 32 Bit
Voodoo HDA 2.7.3 (Update voodoo if you feel you want 2.7.4)
Laptop Battery
After selecting all those, continue with the install...
You will also Need VoodooTSCSync.kext to get the Multicore and Speedstep back working.
A lot of people have also asked me in person if I got Sleep and Ethernet as well as the Card Reader working and my replies to them are as follows.
Sleep works but it will freeze up the TrackPad when waking up as I have experienced, The ethernet BCM5752 will work with A kext that I will post as well as the TSCSync and Card reader Kext.
However, The card reader has its moments when it works, so for me, Its random and WILL freeze the Mac up at times so you would have to do a forced restart by holding down the Power button. Other than that, everything seems to be working fine with it, Updated to 10.7.5 with no problems and no reinstalls of kexts, Also Keep in mind that this install was did with A version of mac that was already at version 10.7.2 so any versions before that I am unsure of when it comes to lion. Happy Hackintoshing and hope it all works out for you guys.
One more thing, VoodooPState works but I am not sure if it keeps the processor speed at 998Mhz or if it just says that, Either way I do not use it because I want to get the full 2.00GHz out of my Processor. I will include it in the next upload or you can just browse around to find it.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police say no one was arrested during a loud and very colorful KKK rally and counter-protest in uptown Charlotte Saturday afternoon.
Members of the National Socialist Movement joined the Ku Klux Klan for an anti-immigration rally at Old City Hall on West Trade Street, but the counter-protesters outnumbered them at least five to one.
Instead of shouting, the protesters used squeaky toys, whistles, and noisemakers to drown out the amplified speeches. Many dressed as clowns.
When the speakers talked about White Power, the protesters sprinkled white flour. Another held a sign reading Wife Power.
They said they wanted to make a point that racism is ridiculous.
The message from us is, you look silly, said Lacey Williams, the youth coordinator for Charlotte s Latin American Coalition. We're dressed like clowns and you're the ones that look funny.
Jeff Schoep of the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group based in Detroit, said his organization wants to be an alternative third party to the country s two-party system. Its platform is based on white supremacy.
Protestor Tom Strini donned his red nose and rainbow wig to take an opposing point of view.
Instead of meeting hate with hate, they were going to meet hate with love, said Strini of the protestors.
I think it s really important to have a sense of humor, added Williams. What they want is for us to fight them. They want us to hit them with hate. We can't become them.
City council member John Autry, who represents east Charlotte s District 5, also wore a red nose to show his support of the counter-protesters.
We're just a great big happy melting pot, said Autry. I just wanted to come out here and make sure people understood that I did not support the views of the people behind up here with the microphones.
More than 75 police officers ringed the grassy front lawn during the speeches. Metal barricades separated the speakers from the protesters. Police rarely needed to move from their positions.
After two hours, the Klan and neo-Nazis put down their microphone and left with a police escort. Police followed them back to a parking garage on Fourth Street near the county courthouse, while protesters filled the street behind them.
Strini said it shows the white supremacists are actually the minority, because so many people showed up to protest.
It just shows that more people in this country are in favor of equal and human rights than there are people who want to kick all dark-skinned people out of the country, he said.

#8. White supremacist rally 'clowned' by counter protest
More than 250 protesters met the chants of white supremacists with hoots, horns, and whistles on the lawn of Old City Hall Saturday.

Hosts: Alex Urbina
Topic: Bullying and Twitter
Guests: Kim Goldman, Executive Director of SCV Youth Project
Airing Mondays at 1 PM Life Leadership with Alex Urbina. Alex will you help you consider new possibilities that you couldn't see before.
Life Leadership with Alex Urbina – July 21, 2014
On Today's show host Alex Urbina and special co-host Kim Goldman, Executive Director of the SCV Youth Project sit down and discuss bullying and cyber-bullying and the ongoing Twitter postings happening in the Santa Clarita Valley.
In the Santa Clarita Valley on a private twitter page, many posted nude photos and posted secrets and information about people.
Sheriff's Department officials are investigating Twitter accounts posting naked pictures reportedly of Santa Clarita Valley high school boys and girls.
Known as SCV_Purge, the account posted nearly two dozen photos Wednesday night, with posts including pictures with captions identifying Santa Clarita Valley high school students.

With this going on how do parents connect with their kids in this day and age, Alex said.
"I've spoken with a lot of parents and they do not want to ask about their internet usage and things of that nature because they do not want to infringe on their privacy," Goldman said.
I tell the parents that they must know what their kids are doing, not be over their shoulder but be aware of the social media and know what apps their kids are using.
Kids today are very savvy and parents need to be as well.
