California's Crude Oil Switch
Oil refineries have turned to dirtier crude in recent years because it is cheaper than the light, sweet crude. Oil refineries that have the flexibility to process a wider spectrum of crude oils – from light to heavy – have a competitive advantage and are more profitable, industry analysts say.
According to investor reports, some of the state's top gasoline producers have upgraded their facilities to process heavier, higher sulfur crude oils. The Chevron refinery in El Segundo and the Shell refinery in Martinez added sulfur removal or recovery units. Chevron built a plant to produce hydrogen in El Segundo and has a permit pending for a similar expansion in Richmond. The Tesoro refinery in Avon/Martinez and Chevron's El Segundo operation are both adding "coking" facilities that will allow for the processing of low-grade oil.
All of these processes require a lot of energy, but they can also help refineries strip out more sulfur to meet clean air rules, or help them produce high quality products from low quality crude.
For example, several refineries have built separate plants to produce their own hydrogen, which binds to sulfur and effectively removes it during the refining process. Hydrogen is also added in the refining process to make "light, hydrogen-rich motor fuels from the carbon-dense, hydrogen poor components of crude," according to the study.
Adding coking facilities allows refineries to generate gasoline and diesel from lower-value fuel oils. Coking also produces a desired byproduct – petroleum coke – which can be used to fuel power plants. "The coking units are installed at existing refineries to increase the refinery's ability to process heavier crude oils," according to an EPA white paper on energy efficiency technology and petroleum refining.
Karras, the study's author, emphasized that California's tough environmental laws aren't solely responsible for the rise in refinery emissions, because other states in his study have adopted similar laws over the years. What sets California apart, he said, is the way its refineries go about removing the sulfur.
California's refineries generally choose to remove the sulfur earlier in the process, or further "upstream," which expends more energy and emits more CO2 than if it were removed further "downstream" in the process. According to the study, facilities on the East Coast, Midwest and Gulf Coast have a greater capacity to remove sulfur downstream compared with California plants.
California refineries are also trying to squeeze out more products of value – not just gasoline, but diesel and jet fuel — from the dirtier crude, and that requires more energy and emits more CO2.
Schaefer, who directs the Environmental Integrity Project, says the "game…is to get more out of each barrel" of crude.
"In a nutshell, the refinery is determined to get the very most out of each barrel, and if it's dirtier crude, that's more work," he said.

Care2, your new favorite greenwash ad campaign (Toyota) vehemently fought the California CO2 limits. You say that your advertiser policy is 'neutral' and is only limited when the product is harmful. Well, when a company fights legislation to limit the destructive results of their product, is that not harmful to all life on Earth? I continue to be disappointed in the willingness of Care2 to push destructive companies and products on us. Walk your talk Care2!
Thanks for information.
Thanks for the article.
Clean air is a vital necessity. Dependency on coal, oils, fossil fuels, nuclear, etc. will be the death of the planet and its inhabitants! The sooner we switch over to renewable energy resources, the better for us all in every conceivable way.
We need to breath or we die...it is that simple.
Until we stop oil /gas and coal..we will not breath well and have health issues.
How long will we continue to hurt ourselves for dirty energy?
thanks for posting.
Moving away from fossil fuels, as quickly as possible, is the only true solution to this problem.
Oil men are way too powerful. However no harm in asking them to clean up their act.
It is put up with this or continue dependence on foreign oil... No, your divided congress and inadequate dysfunctional energy department will never agree on any alternative energy package. So, forget about bring that up.

Hey John,
Kind of went through the same procedure myself a couple of years back. When ours died I put in a new gearbox, then had to turn around and replace the motor. Reality is it would have been not much more expensive to have replaced the entire thing, and gone up a size to boot. Such it is.
I wonder though why it is jamming ? Have you had a good look at the shaft ? Plenty of lubrication ? I did find when I pulled ours apart back then that the grease nipple was in poor shape and may not have been doing its job. In our case that meant water getting in which was what ultimately ruined the gearbox but maybe just maybe you are not getting enough grease onto the shaft ?
Sorry, not much help I know. This was more to provide some moral support.

GUELPH – Hello bye.
The Guelph Gryphons clinched a second-place finish in the OUA football league standings and the accompanying quarter-final bye Saturday when they scored a come-from-behind 33-28 victory over the Queen's Gaels at Alumni Stadium.
"That was too close for comfort," Gryphon quarterback Jazz Lindsey said. "If everything goes well (for Queen's), we're going to have to see them again (in the semifinals) and we can't have a game like that if we see them again."
The Gryphs fell behind by 25 points midway through the second quarter before getting their offence in gear. The Gaels were held scoreless after Dillon Wamsley convert following Justin Chapdelaine's 34-yard touchdown scamper on a fake field goal with 6:27 to go in the first half put the visitors up 25-3.
"We got down and the guys fought back and maybe that was the lessons they learned in the Western game (a 42-39 win a week earlier)," Guelph head coach Stu Lang said. "When we got down by a lot … I looked on the bench and I didn't see any worry. As a coach, that's phenomenal."
The Gryphs seized momentum heading into the break when they scored two touchdowns in the final two and a half minutes of the opening half to cut the gap to 11 points. Rob Farquharson from four yards out and Jazz Lindsey on a one-yard keeper play accounted for the scores.
The big touchdown, though, came midway through the third quarter when defensive back Mac Myers intercepted a Billy McPhee pass and returned it 76 yards for a touchdown. Mike Fortino caught a pass for a two-point convert and the gap was suddenly down to three points.
"Coach told me all week that they're going to be picking on me and Hutch (fellow defensive back Iain Hutchison)," Myers said. "They had it in their newspaper that they're picking on the second-year guys. They did it and they had some success, but I made that play. It was unreal."
Farquharson erased it with his second four-yard touchdown run of the game five minutes later.
The kickers, Julian Tropea and Dan Ferraro, collected the other points. Tropea kicked a 12-yard field goal and three converts while Ferraro booted a single on a punt for the only point of the fourth quarter.
"We held our composure, which is good," Jazz Lindsey said. "It shows that our team has a lot of heart and that's good because that will take you real far."
The win was Guelph's fourth consecutive victory by a five-point margin or less.
Jazz Lindsey hit 18 of 35 pass attempts for 180 yards. Dillon Dimitroff caught five of those passes for 52 yards and Carl Trivieri hauled down four for 75 yards. Farquharson gained 87 yards on 21 carries.
Defensively, the Gryphs had their second consecutive four-interception game. Myers, John Rush, Jake Reinhart and Jarryd Baines each had a pick.
The Gryphs now have a shot at their first seven-win season in 40 years with a victory over the York Lions at York Oct. 20. OUA records start in the 1971 season.
"To beat Windsor, Western, Queen's and Laurier all in one season, some elite teams, it's amazing," Lang said.
While the game at York will be meaningless for the Gryphs, it means a lot for the Lions as they still have an extreme outside shot at qualifying for the playoffs thanks to their 36-24 win over the Toronto Varsity Blues Saturday.
The McMaster Marauders (7-0) and Gryphs (6-1) have secured first-round byes and will finish first and second respectively. Queen's (5-2) will finish third and Western (4-3) fourth and both will host quarter-finals. In the race for the final two playoff spots are the Laurier Golden Hawks (3-4), Windsor Lancers (3-4), Toronto (2-5), York (2-5) and Ottawa (2-5). The Waterloo Warriors (1-6) will not qualify for the playoffs.
The Gryphs will host a semifinal match Nov. 3. If Queen's wins its quarter-final, they'll be Guelph's opponent that day. The Gryphs will play the winner of the other quarter-final if the Gaels lose their playoff opener.
The first-round bye is the first for the Gryphs since they went 6-2 in 1996. They won the Yates Cup that season.

This paper highlights the impact of channel correlations on the capacity and performance of MIMO communications, with a focus on the so-called diagonal correlations. Based on this analysis, the limitations of simplified mathematical representations, such as the Kronecker or the diagonal-decorrelation models, are pointed out. Finally, the correlation properties of popular geometry-based statistical models are studied in order to analyze whether the correlation structure of these models can be adequately represented by simplified mathematical models, as well as to quantify the errors introduced by these simplifications. With respect to channel correlations, neither the Kronecker nor the diagonal-decorrelation assumptions are good representations of the correlation structure of the investigated geometry-based statistical models. When comparing capacity and symbol error probability results, it is found that the diagonal-decorrelation model may yield significant errors on both considered metrics. The Kronecker model generally yields errors less than one order of magnitude on the symbol error rate, but relative errors on ergodic or outage capacity may be more significant.

R. Vimal Kumar
Toppers evince interest in engineering and medicine
Tirupur: The district has registered a pass percentage of 88.94 in the Plus-Two examinations this year showing a marginal improvement over the last year. The overall pass percentage in 2009 was 88.2.
The pass percentage of boys this year stood at 86.65 against 85.5 registered in 2009. Likewise, 90.75 per cent of the girls who wrote the examination this time passed out successfully vis-à-vis 90.3 per cent passed last time.
R. Sathish Kumar of Ponnu Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Dharapuram, emerged the district topper with an aggregate of 1,176 marks out of 1,200. He scored 200/200 in Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Mathematics, while getting 186/200 in Tamil and 190/200 in English.
J. Madhu Priya of Srinivasa Vidhyalaya Matric Higher Secondary School, Udumalpet, took the second spot with 1,171 while her classmates B. Pavithra and R. Roopa shared the third position with 1,168 marks.
M. Manonmani of Government Higher Secondary School, Palladam, with a score of 1,143 marks stood first among the students who appeared the examination representing a government institution.
The toppers wanted to take up their undergraduate studies either in the field of engineering or medicine with no one showing any interest in other branches.
Sathish Kumar, son of a farmer, would like to become an aeronautic engineer. "More lucrative value is there in the engineering sector and hence, I opted for the decision," he told The Hindu.
Madhu Priya, whose father is also a farmer, and Roopa, daughter of a businessman, both wanted to become doctors. Pavithra has decided to pursue engineering and wanted to become a bureaucrat.
Chief Educational Officer T. Rajendiran told reporters that the overall pass percentage in government schools in the district stood at 81.07 and that in municipal schools at 87.37.
The pass percentage in government aided, self finance and matric schools were 93.8, 98.92 and 98.45, respectively.
As many as 43 schools registered centum in the district. Of these, three were aided, four self-financing and 36 were matric schools.
Later, District Collector C. Samayamoorthy felicitated the district toppers in the exam at a function held at the Collectorate.

The Laundry List
I am pleased to announce that my new book is soon to be released: Raising Athletic Royalty: Insights to Inspire for a Lifetime. It is your go to guide to motivating and nurturing the greatness found in your children.
There is no doubt that parental modeling plays the most significant role in the way an athlete is nurtured. Children instinctively imitate their parent's behaviors, attitudes and moral conduct. This makes supportive and informed (athletic) parental nurturing essential in maximizing a child's potential at the quickest rate, regardless of the chosen passion/endeavor.
The code of excellence we all wish to imprint on our children cannot be taught in only a few hours a week by a gifted coach. These life lessons need to be nurtured day in and day out by their parents.
LESSON: The Laundry List
"Great game men," said Coach Stevens. "You guys are improving every week. We are one heck of a football team! Every one of you gave it your all out there and I'm so proud! Keep up the good work! I'll see you Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. at Riley Park for practice… READY BREAK!"
Every kid was smiling and laughing walking off the game day field, except for Randy.
Randy knew what was to come. He was a quiet ball of knots as he slowly headed toward his father's car adding a limp to his gait to support a fake injury while holding his iphone in hand ready to text his friend about homework the moment he got into the car. These were just a few of the aversion tactics Randy regularly employed to lessen the barrage of criticism that was sure to come from his father. If he pretended to be injured and was addressing the importance of homework he needed to complete, then his father may go easy on him.
You see Randy's dad believed that he was actually helping Randy by watching every game and compiling a detailed laundry list of Randy's failed plays, mistakes and improvement issues. Randy's dad didn't even realize that he was destroying his son's confidence and self-esteem by pointing out his every flaw. No matter how good Randy was, it was not good enough. No matter how long Randy trained, it was not long enough. No matter how many things Randy fixed, his dad would find more flaws.
Mr. Wilson did not have a clue that the only thing he was cultivating was excuses, no effort and zero enjoyment for the sport, not to mention a seriously unhealthy family environment. After all, why in the world would Randy want to play if it only led to a new laundry list of why he's so slow, uncoordinated and stupid?
Parents, remember that the only comments you should make directly after competition are motivational and positive comments like: "I wish I had the guts to go out there and perform like that.", "I think it's so cool watching you out there.", "You're getting better and better everything day.", "Did you have fun out there today?" or "You're playing great; let me know if I can help you with anything!" Motivating the growth you seek comes from optimism and not from pessimism. Continually reminding your children of their failures is futile. Instead, after each game or practice session, support your child's efforts with love and praise.
If you or your spouse possess this dreaded parental laundry list of failure disease, begin to replace the list of negative remarks with positive ones.
If you deeply feel that your laundry list is insightful and important to the growth of your child, I suggest asking the coach if you can email the list to him after the game. Then ask him if he can pay special attention to those issues. Chances are that your child will accept the valid feedback if it is presented by the coach instead of the parent. A good coach should have a better way of presenting the issues in an optimistic and positive light.

19:0046(5)AR - VA Medial Center, Lincoln, NE And AFGE Local No. 2219 -- 1985 FLRAdec AR
[ v19 p46 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
19 FLRA No. 5 VETERANS ADMINISTRATION MEDICAL CENTER, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Activity and AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, LOCAL NO. 2219 Union Case No. O-AR-924 DECISION This matter is before the Authority on an exception to the award of Arbitrator Russell C. Neas filed by the Activity under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The parties submitted several issues to arbitration, one of which the Arbitrator framed as whether management violated the parties' collective bargaining agreement by refusing to negotiate over changes in the incentive award system. The Arbitrator determined that the criteria governing incentive awards is a mandatory subject of bargaining and that consequently the Activity violated the parties' agreement when it refused to bargain over modifications or substitutions of criteria governing incentive awards. Accordingly, the Arbitrator awarded, in pertinent part, as follows: Management violated the Contract by refusing to negotiate with the Union over changes in the Incentive Awards System. Management is hereby directed, upon request by the Union, to bargain in good faith concerning any proposed changes or changes implemented since March 19, 1984. In one of its exceptions, the Activity contends that the award is contrary to section 7106(a) of the Statute. Specifically, the Agency maintains on the basis of Louis A. Johnson Veterans Administration Medical Center, Clarksburg, West Virginia and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 2384, 15 FLRA No. 74 (1984), that the award is deficient as contrary to section 7106(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the Statute. The Authority agrees. In Louis A. Johnson Veterans Administration Medical Center the Authority found deficient an arbitration award ordering the activity to negotiate with the union concerning the decision of the activity to modify the criteria governing incentive awards. In this respect the Authority explained that an integral aspect of management's exercise of its right to direct employees under section 7106(a)(2)(A) and to assign work under section 7106(a)(2)(B) is to prescribe the standards which an employee must attain in order to be eligible for a reward for superior performance. Id. at 5 (citing National Treasury Employees Union and Internal Revenue Service, 14 FLRA 463 (1984) (proposals 1-2)). Thus, the Authority ruled that the arbitration award was deficient as contrary to se

1 out of 2 people found this instruction helpful
After taking the motor off (it looked loose to me!) and stripping out the bolts on it, then finding that the bolts holding the motor were permanently affixed to the motor (and they were an odd size not available at the hardware store), I drilled the bolts out and put in new ones (on the motor) and re-affixed the same. I still had a problem. I then went online and found that most people had problems with the water pump. I looked at the pulley on the water pump and found that the inner shims had slipped out on a permanent part (and could not be put back in with the basic tools I had on hand). I ordered the pump online, and replaced the same. Took about 30 minutes after I found the real problem and got the parts in. My pump had a permanent metal disc on the bottom which did not come with the new pump, but the new pump fit without it. Machine works fine now.

I don't know about you, but I love window boxes! Seeing fresh flowers in front of windows as I drive by a house makes me so happy. The thought of the person inside waking up and seeing those flowers first thing in the morning… it must be a glorious sight!
I've always wanted window boxes, but haven't really seen any store bought versions that made me giddy. For my patio makeover, I thought that making my own window flower box to complement my new shutters would be a fun project. And I'm here to today to share the plans with you!
I know I've been showing this photo a lot, but it is just such a dramatic change from the before to the after that I have to keep sharing it! In case you haven't seen this photo before, its the exterior of my potting shed pre-makeover.
I've drawn out the plans for the window flower box to make it super simple to reproduce.
You will need:
2 1×6″ boards measuring 36″
1 1×4″ board measuring 36″
2 1×4″ boards measuring 5.5″
3 bags of shims – trim 31 shims to 5.5″, cutting off the thin end
Piece together the 1×6's and 1×4's to make the box using wood glue and nails.
Once the shims have been trimmed, use wood glue to add them to the front and sides of the window box. As they are placed on the box, alternate which direction they go. This will give the window box a fun contrast.
How you choose the to hang the window box may depend upon what you are hanging it on.
Wood, bricks, siding…
Mine is going to be hung on vinyl siding which is backed with wood. My husband cleverly built this frame for hanging the box using 1×2's.
He glued and nailed 2 1×2's measuring 24″ together, after first cutting the side of one of the 1×2's at a 45 degree angle. He then attached a second 1×2 measuring 24″ and also having a 45 degree edge to the back of the window box.
All of the 1×2's fit snugly together where the wood is cut at 45 degree angles.
We screwed the frame directly under the window frame and into the wood behind the vinyl. Its super secure and isn't going anywhere.
I stained the window box with 1 coat of Minwax Dark Walnut stain followed by 3 coats of polyurethane.
Before hanging the box, I filled it with flowers and plants that would add height and hang over the edge. The box can be easily set on the frame and removed later for changing out the flowers.
I love the way it looks with the red shutters! And I purposely designed the window box to not stick out far from the side of the potting shed so that a chair can be set under it and the person sitting in it doesn't have to worry about hitting their head.
And those shims? I just love how they ended up looking on the window box. Especially after staining!

NutdriverScrew drivers
First had to diagnose the problem. From reading others stories, figured it would be the timer, thermostat or heater. First removed the back panel of the freezer. There are 3 screws at top that will need a phillips screw driver and 2 hexagon nuts at bottom. The defrost heater is at the very bottom. If the glass is black, it's burnt out. Got that clue from others. Had to shop for fresh produce and meats as the days went. Put towels at the bottom of freezer over the drain hole so it doesn't overflow while defrosting it the first time. There will be lots of water if the outside of the panel that covers the coils has a sheet of ice on it as well from the build up. Used hair dryer a couple of times every 2 days until the part arrived to avoid a big build up of ice again. Once the part arrived, instead of standing there and defrosting the coils, it was easier to empty the frigerator contents into a cooler. The freezer contents went into outside freezer, probably would be ok in cooler for a day. Unplug and let it defrost overnight. Had plenty of time to plan this because it took at least 5 days to receive the part. Unscrew the bracket, remove the plug-in from both ends of defrost heater/bracket assembly and lift out. Plug in new one, screw in place. You're done. Now hubby can have his coolers back and go fishing! Good as new. Fridge is 38-40 degrees and ice cubes are solid within a few hours. Darn, I won't be getting that French door fridge for awhile, I guess.

HipHopGamer's Official Theme Song for Prototype 2
By Eric L Patterson, Executive Editor
Posted on March 13, 2012 AT 02:56pm
Posted on March 13, 2012 AT 02:56pm
THE GAME: HipHopGamer is at it again, this time dropping an official theme song for the upcoming Prototype 2.
EGM's TAKE: Here's the track, titled, "Welcome to NYZ". So, are people out there going to have a fit over this song as well, or did that only happen because those same people thought Twisted Metal was supposed to be nothing but metal due to its name? Either way, props to HipHopGamer for continuing to live the dream.

Downtown Punxsutawney was a beehive of activity Monday night, as construction workers from sub-contractor Donegal Construction were busy milling the asphalt off Mahoning Street in preparation for paving. It is a part of PennDOT's $1,112,458 project and is scheduled for completion in the next few weeks. The project includes replacing and upgrading signals at four intersections; interconnecting the signals; addressing ADA requirements; re-timing and re-phasing the signals for efficiency; and paving Mahoning Street. Work is scheduled to continue between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsutawney Memorial Library wrapped up National Library Week in fine form Saturday, with a party for children, guests and volunteers.
Library Director Coral Ellshoff also offered an update on some of the library's programs and recent statistics via a PowerPoint presentation.
Over the last year, the library saw these areas improve, she said:
• A 15-percent increase in cardholders.
• More hours open during the evenings (until 7 p.m. four days a week).
PUNXSUTAWNEY — During its meeting Monday, the Punxsutawney Area School Board Athletic Committee discussed possible improvements to be made to Jack L. LaMarca Memorial Stadium.
A large amount of work needs to be done to the district's playing fields, especially the stadium field, said Athletic Director Bill Vassallo.
The main football field, practice field and soccer field have numerous low spots that must be filled in with top soil, he said, while committee member Bob Pascuzzo said it would take 100 tons of dirt for the stadium field, as well as dirt to grade and fill it in.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Although the scoreboard didn't necessarily reflect it at the end of the game, the Lady Chucks were engaged in a solid pitching dual on both sides against the Hollidays-burg Lady Tide Monday in Punxsutawney. But Punxsy scored four sixth-inning insurance runs to open the game up and pick up a 6-1 victory.
And while Punxsy head coach Alan Pifer said he wasn't completely thrilled with every aspect of the performance, he was still content to walk away with a victory.
Zachary Thorpe, 11, of Ringgold, caught these trophies — a 24-inch rainbow trout and a 25-inch palamino, while fishing at Cloe Lake with his grandfather, Carl Ackerson.
Chandler Emhoff (right), of Worthville, caught this 20 1/2-inch brown trout while fishing in Little Sandy Creek with Canaan Knox.
Orelle Lucille (Harriger) Hise, 92, of Fryburg, formerly of Punxsutawney (Coolspring), died Saturday, April 14, 2012, at Athens Regional Medical Center, in Athens, Tenn.
She was taken ill in December while visiting with her sister in Decatur.
She was born on the family farm July 14, 1919, a daughter of the late Arthur E. and Barbara Susanna Elizabeth (Frederick) Harriger.
BROOKVILLE — Some of the toughest competition from around western Pennsylvania gathered in Brookville for the Deman's Team Sports Brookville Invitational Saturday.
Punxsutawney's boys track team put its best foot forward and came up with some good performances against the steep competition.
"As coaches, our staff was very pleased to see so many kids get their personal bests for the season or at least turn in a solid effort," Punxsy head coach John Smith said.
BROOKVILLE — Although the Lady Chucks faced some of the steepest competition in western Pennsylvania Saturday at the Brookville Invitational, Punxsy had four different girls earn place-winning spots.
"There were a lot of other personal bests; they just weren't good enough to place," Punxsy head coach Barry Young said. "Overall, I was very pleased with the team's performance."
The top winners for the Lady Chucks were Kirsten Dean and Juliann Boddorf.
HEMPFIELD — The Lady Chucks' junior varsity softball team began the weekend at the Hempfield Tournament facing off against Ringgold, which Punxsy beat 5-3.
During the victory, Nicole DiPietro was the strongest hitter, going 3-for-3 at bat with two singles, a double and five stolen bases. She also scored three runs.
Punxsy coach Phil Mennitti called her "unstoppable."
Ivy Phillips, who was selected the Most Valuable Player of the game, also had a strong showing. She threw four complete innings, giving up just three runs. She walked only three and struck out five.

Air Berlin has signed an agreement with US-based ACSS to equip a portion of its new Boeing 737NG fleet with the company's SafeRoute automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B)-based advanced navigation system, the first application of the software suite in Europe, says ACSS.
ACSS trials with Air Berlin are scheduled for early 2010.
The Arizona-based company, a joint venture between L-3 Communications and Thales, says SafeRoute's merging and spacing function will allow Air Berlin to fly continuous descent arrival (CDA) procedures, also known as optimum performance descents, which in the US have been shown to reduce noise footprints on an approach by 30%, lower emissions by 34% and reduce fuel burn by 40-70 gallons per arrival.
Those statistics are based on year-long trials by UPS, which was the launch customer for the ACSS software. More than 80 flights were operated in 2008 on UPS Boeing 757s/767s equipped for CDA and merging and spacing procedures.
Air Berlin will also get access to SafeRoute's surface area movement management (SAMM) software and universal cockpit display of traffic information (UCDTI) with associated assisted visual separation under the agreement. ACSS says the software will "virtually eliminate" low-level vectoring and increase arrival performance to nearly 100% of available capacity in compromised weather conditions.
Flight's ACAS database shows that Air Berlin currently has 50 737s in its fleet and another 81 on order. Combined with Airbus A320-family aircraft, the airline has 89 aircraft in total and 138 on order.
US Airways will also begin using SafeRoute to display traffic at the Philadelphia International Airport in a number of new Airbus A330s as part of a $6 million pilot program funded by the US FAA.

Brand Story
A History of Natural Good, Clean Fun
Nick Jones founded Soho House UK Ltd which he launched in 1995 and then in 1998 he purchased an estate, Babington House, set on 18 acres of land in Somerset, England with the intention to create a home-away-from-home venue offering exquisite food, luxury accommodation and breath-taking views of the English countryside. In addition to various athletic facilities, charming treatment rooms were created in the small, formerly working, cow shed. The idea to create the Cowshed product range came about when sourcing natural products to use in the house rooms and spa. No products on the market seemed to fit the Soho House personality, so a custom range was created.
The beautiful Victorian Walled Garden was the inspiration for the fragrances and 'moods' of the product range. In fact, there's still a little bit of Babington in every single bottle in the form of a special herbal infusion sourced from within its Walled Gardens. Richard Howard was brought on as the fragrancier for Cowshed products. As one of the first people to import pure essential oils, he is considered a guru on the subject and is passionate about natural fragrance who took to the Walled Garden on his first ever trip, even harvesting lavender from the grounds.
Cowshed Products - The Natural Choice
The Cowshed philosophy centres on the therapeutic nature of botanical essential oils. Its range of honest and natural products for bath, body and home are all made in England, using a variety of organic ingredients, wildcrafted plant extracts and pure essential oil of the highest quality. Every product contains a high ratio of natural, premium quality essential oils - the concentrated, aromatic essence of a plant, extracted from its leaves, flowers, fruit, seeds, stems or roots - offering psychological and physical well-being benefits. Never compromising on quality, Cowshed selects cold pressed, extra virgin and other premium grade oils to ensure their essential vitamin and naturally replenishing fatty acid content are not lost.
Cowshed names might be playful with monikers such as Grumpy Cow, Lazy Cow and Bullocks, but decisions on formulations are taken very seriously. Cowshed uses only the highest quality pure essential oils and avoids the use of preservatives and synthetics. All its products are plant-based and contain naturally-derived ingredients, free-from:
- Parabens (preservatives)
- Petrochemicals (petroleum by-products)
- Suplhates SLS/SLES (foaming agents)
- PEGs (thickeners)
- Artificial colours or fragrances
- Phthalates
- Triclosan
- GMOs
- Animal ingredients (except organic beeswax and wildflower honey)
- Animal testing

Peter Odemwingie is in doubt for West Bromwich AlbionŌĆÖs season opener this weekend.
The Nigerian striker, who scored 15 goals last term, injured his ankle in a recent pre-season friendly against Bristol City and may miss SundayŌĆÖs home clash with reigning champions Manchester United according to manager Roy Hodgson.
Hodgson admitted there was a chance Odemwingie could play but he is more optimistic about Steven Reid and Jerome Thomas.
ŌĆ£Peter has a sore ankle, which came about after the Bristol City game. We were hoping it would recover in time for yesterdayŌĆÖs game but it didnŌĆÖt,ŌĆØ he said.
ŌĆ£Now weŌĆÖre hoping it wonŌĆÖt go beyond next week. Ankle injuries can take time. You canŌĆÖt play without ankles and knees! I wouldnŌĆÖt want to put a timescale on it.
ŌĆ£All I want to say is the medical staff are very optimistic heŌĆÖll recover, so IŌĆÖve got to be optimistic.
ŌĆ£There was no chance of risking him yesterday, but IŌĆÖm sure heŌĆÖll be desperate to play against United and weŌĆÖll be happy to put him in the team if heŌĆÖs fit.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll be monitoring it during the course of the week. The same goes with Steven and Jerome Thomas.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm a little bit more optimistic about those two.ŌĆØ

text: We join a confused Kathy and a pissed-off Paschal, who snarks that Kathy shouldn't be confused because "this thing is so plain to [him]; it's sickening," which seems like no way to win over know-it-all Kathy's allegiance. She scoffs and asks him to fill her in. Paschal backs down slightly, insisting that it's his perspective, and that he would never ask her to "change a thing that's in her heart," but that something hit him hard last night: the realization that Vecepia and Sean have been playing the same game since Day 1. ["And...?" -- Wing Chun] He says, "We have been duped by Vecepia and Sean. They duped everybody else on the other side. They duped people on this side." ["HOW?! Okay, I give up." -- Wing Chun] In a confessional, Paschal tells us that Vecepia and Sean have been "skating" throughout the game, and that both Maraamu and Rotu members have had the same complaint. Kathy responds, "Oh, I just don't see that. Damn!" She doesn't sound particularly convincing, though, and clearly wants her butt kissed a little more. Paschal keeps going on, and then Kathy says she's naïve, which I don't really believe. Paschal tells us that Vecepia and Sean are trying to make Kathy feel like the swing vote, and I don't really see what's so wrong with that, considering she is the swing vote, isn't she? Wouldn't it be equally wrong for Paschal and Neleh to suddenly start acting like Kathy had all along been a third and equal partner in their alliance? In any case, Paschal insists that he doesn't give a damn about Sean and Vecepia's agenda, but that he's fed up with their denials of being in alliance. Paschal tells Kathy she shouldn't think for one second that she'd prevail in a final three with Sean and Vecepia. In a confessional, he then says, "Kathy, now, she's from Vermont. I'm from Georgia, and Sean from Harlem. This thing runs deeper than a game." And why was it okay by me when curmudgeonly old Rudy said something like that (I mean, I knew it was wrong, but it was Rudy!), and then gives me the wiggins when Paschal makes such a comment? Maybe because Paschal is an educated man charged with making judicial decisions every day, and a statement like this is hard to dismiss. It's clouded in minor ambiguity, so maybe I've misunderstood. Maybe Rosie will give him an opportunity to explain himself. Bryant would have had a field day with it, that's for sure. Anyway, Paschal tells us he's unwilling to "capitulate," and instead he plans to "dig in." He says that Sean and Vecepia are lying and deceptive, and that he'll vote them off the first chance he gets.

Manning proves to Chargers he has plenty left
"So we were prepared –- it was going to be a four-quarter, 60-minute game, and those guys have a lot of pride over there.''
And Manning has plenty left, proving it by the Broncos giving the Chargers the season-series broom for the first time since 2005.
Manning also swept past Dan Marino with his first-quarter scoring pass to Demaryius Thomas; Manning is No. 2 all-time at 423.
He's No. 1 among Broncos for a single-season record, with three touchdown passes in six games.
Just maybe the woeful Chargers are deep-six, too. If so, Manning helped shovel the dirt on them.

After what felt like forever without it, Mad Men is currently on TV for what will probably feel like way too short a time. In addition to providing plans for all of our Sunday nights, this means its primary players (but mainly the women) get to wear lots of pretty clothes about talk about themselves in magazines. In the latest issue of Net-a-Porter's interactive online fashion mag The Edit, criminal undersharer January Jones dons some truly gorgeous outfits and looks, well, gorgeous in them. The accompanying article is fairly similar content-wise to The New York Times' sexist hack job, only it takes a strong stance in favor of Ms. Jones' right to privacy. Imagine that! But even if you are still mad at her for refusing to tell us everything about her interior life, perhaps you can content yourself with the fact that she seems committed to using her exterior to create some really striking images.

|In this program, students will learn the methods of archaeological field practice, including survey, mapping, excavation, and the recording and conservation of artifacts. The site under investigation is the homestead of George Bush and his wife Isabella. They were the first non-native settlers in this state, eventually establishing the community of New Market, which later became Tumwater. The Bush family and his wagon train had originally planned on settling in Oregon Territory, but were prevented by the "Lash Law": Bush was half African American, and this law prohibited him from settling in Oregon. As the first pioneers to settle in Washington Territory, George and his wife, Isabelle Bush, were important for the subsequent history of our state. They paved the way for other settlers of all ethnic backgrounds, whose increasing presence helped the United States claim this disputed territory over Great Britain in 1846. Bush's children and grandchildren continued to occupy the land he was granted, and the last residence was not torn down until 1970. The goal of the first season of this field school is to confirm the location of Owen Bush's house (one of George and Isabella's sons) through surface survey and archaeological excavation. The field school will start in the classroom, with an introduction of archaeological methods and the historical context of the site. Though the first few days and the final week of this program will be held on campus, the rest of the time students will be working outside in the field, and should therefore be prepared for physical exertion and inclement weather. Students will learn proper excavation and field recording methods. Students will also participate in individual or group research projects about an aspect of this site. In the final week of the program, students will learn to classify, record, clean, and conserve any artifacts found, and will have the opportunity to contribute to the writing and publication of the preliminary excavation report.

|The human body has long been a natural locus of study, interpretation and storytelling. Corporeal existence has been conceptualized and experienced in radically different ways across time and across cultures, conceived as an irreducible whole by some and as an amalgam of separate systems or individual elements by others. How has our philosophical and biological conception of the body changed over time? How is the body used to find or express meaning? What is the relationship of the body to the mind and the soul?In this program, we will explore the nature and essence of the body and reflect on the experience of being human. Knowledge about the body and our lived experiences within our bodies has been created from the culturally distinct perspectives of biologists, social scientists, artists, philosophers and storytellers. We will read philosophical and historical texts and closely analyze some of the ideas that have helped shape our conception of the body. We will study the genetic development and biological function of the body, carrying out experiments in the laboratory to get a direct sense of the process of scientific investigation. Finally, we will read novels and look at visual images as other ways of engaging with the body, particularly the physical manifestation and representation of emotion. Throughout our inquiry, we will ask how we have come to know what we claim to know.Our investigations will follow a particular progression. In fall quarter, we will consider the body: the history of the conception of the body, images of the body, evolution of the body, the body as the site of meaning-making and genetic approaches to deciphering the development of the human organism. In winter quarter, we will examine aspects of the mind: the Cartesian dualism, the functional organization of the brain, processes of cognition, measuring intelligence, use of language and the importance of emotions. In spring quarter, we will explore the notion of the soul: death and burial rituals in different cultures, philosophical and literary investigations of the soul, ethics, beauty and religion. The program will use regular writing assignments, including essays and papers, to strengthen and deepen analytical thinking skills. We anticipate reading such authors as Michel Foucault, Rene Descartes, Martha Nussbaum, Thomas Kuhn, Oliver Sacks, Antonio Damasio, Clifford Geertz, Gregory Bateson, Paul Rabinow, Joao Biehl, Emily Martin, Virginia Woolf, Robert Musil, Kazuo Ishiguro and Jeffrey Eugenides.

|The processes of economic and political globalization reshape and undermine the lives of people and communities throughout the world. Some anthropologists have turned their attention to the effects of globalization on traditional and modern societies, attempting to bring to light the full complexities and consequences of these transnational practices. For example, Joao Biehl develops an argument linking global economic activity in Brazil to what he calls the development of "zones of social abandonment" in most urban settings. Anthropologists conduct their studies through research, which involves gathering data, over long periods of time, as both "participant" and "observer" of those they are studying. Doing ethnographic research is simultaneously analytical and deeply embodied. This program includes an examination of ethnographic research methods and methodologies, a study of varied theoretical frameworks used by anthropologists today to interpret and find meaning in data, and an opportunity to design an ethnographic project of interest. Students will read and explore a range of ethnographic studies that reveal what an anthropologist—whom Ruth Behar calls a "vulnerable observer"—can uncover about the lives of people today, and advocate on their behalf.

|Modern arose about 200,000 years ago, the product of nearly four billion years of adaptive evolution. We are in most ways a generic species. Our morphology and physiology, though staggering and marvelous when considered in isolation, are not special when compared to our nearest relatives and most recent ancestors. But we, uniquely, have transformed the globe and become a threat to the planet on which we still thoroughly depend. What makes humans special is not the process that gave rise to us, nor the forms we take, but the way in which our brains have evolved to innovate and self-program. That cultural/developmental process has allowed bands of to rewrite their mental programs to fit particular ecological opportunities in time and space, and on a longer timescale, to transform the shared human operating system without a corresponding change in our genes. A pre-historical world populated by millions of hunter gatherers transformed within a period of 10,000 years into a world of one billion people consuming traditionally farmed food, and then within the last 200 years into a population of seven billion people surviving on intensive and unsustainable fossil fueled farming, with which only a small percentage have any direct contact. This winter/spring all-level program will focus on the complex adaptive feedback between human culture, genes and post-natal development, and will seek to elucidate the still poorly understood linguistic and evolutionary processes that gave rise to this special relationship. We will read relevant texts on human biology, language, prehistory and evolution, and we will engage man-made systems to build an intuitive understanding of complex adaptive phenomena and design trade-offs. In all aspects of this program we will aim to blaze a trail across new scientific ground—living on the intellectual frontier, discovering and describing yet unknown patterns, as much as learning well established ones. Students who require a program to begin with a refined syllabus would be wise to look elsewhere. The value of this program depends on the adaptability of the participants, and a desire to follow fruitful analytical paths, as well as a willingness to abandon trails that have gone cold. Students who are well suited to the program will be self-motivated, curious, bold and skeptical. Advanced evolution students will be expected to help bring newer students up to speed. Newer students must be willing to seek and accept help from more advanced peers. We will take a week long field trip each quarter. It is not optional and can not be made up.

|Fifty years ago, Buckminster Fuller contemplated our planetary future and our limited ability to imagine alternative futures in his book, . In this program, we will consider what it means to be astronauts on our home planet and how to creatively imagine healthy and sustainable future scenarios. Guiding questions for the program will include: What shapes cultural values and how do cultures change, adapt and form new paths? How do we weave together various branches of knowledge into a healthy system and vision for the world? What do we make with the abundance of material goods that fill our daily lives? How do we design objects and spaces to create a more sustainable and fulfilling existence? To address these questions, we will consider traditions of the past and present that demonstrate cultural responses to environmental limits and possibilities. Yogic philosophy, for example, offers critical guidelines for sustainable living and we will explore the principles and practices of this tradition. We will examine the ideologies of the Arts and Crafts movement, the modernist avant-garde, social sculpture and art as social practice. These will be connected with the environmental movement and current trends such as upcycling, cradle-to-cradle design and the resurgence in handiwork and traditions of craft.Students will research and construct their own "Operating Manuals" over the course of the three quarters. This will include a critical look at alternative and utopian models for living, as well as engage with powerful sustainability and justice movements already at work in our community. This program will challenge students to engage through readings and weekly seminar discussions, field visits and research papers, as well as visual art projects and critiques.In fall quarter, we will build vocabularies and skills for thinking about sustainability and community transformation. Studio work in two- and three-dimensional design and ceramics will emphasize redesigning, repurposing and reusing the proliferation of materials available all around us. Yoga labs will help us to integrate work in the classroom and studio with yogic thought and somatic experiences. Study and comparison of cross-cultural examples of sustainability practices will guide the development of our Operating Manuals.In winter quarter, we will work to develop community projects and/or individual visual artworks. We will work with organizations such as Sustainable South Sound and The Commons to develop applied projects. Students will research and report on local and regional alternative, intentional communities. Our critical analysis of sustainability discourses will inform all of our studio work.Spring quarter will offer opportunities to further develop and implement community projects. These may take the form of public art projects, sculptures or installations that enhance public spaces such as community or school gardens or parks. They may also involve facilitating public art processes that integrate the concepts and design principles central to this program.

|This will be an interdisciplinary ceramic sculpture and art history program that will explore the dynamic artistic traditions of Mexico from ancient times to the present. We will take a thematic approach to our historical studies, exploring Mesoamerican art and spirituality, colonial artistic traditions, Day of the Dead belief and rituals, the Virgin of Guadalupe and the on-going contribution of women to the culture, the post-revolutionary mural and printmaking traditions, and Chicano culture. Moving from theory to practice we will work to deepen our understanding of the ideas we have discussed in seminar through an intense ceramic studio practice. We will focus on drawing and sculpting the human figure/skeleton; developing our sense of the human form, working on abstraction, and creating a Day of the Dead sculpture/altar.

|This two-quarter introductory program considers how small things—personal affections and distastes, allegiances and exclusions, possessions and wastes—make up our daily worlds and contribute to broader, systemic patterns of order in societies. Grounding our studies in anthropology, social psychology and sociology, we will consider the implications of personal choices and actions on society at large, in the U.S. and in a range of cultural and historical settings. What is the relationship between our identities and the small things we do, think, feel, say, desire, choose, wear or own? How do routine actions contribute to social hierarchies, differences and inequalities? What can looking closely at the micro-social world teach us about power? We will examine a range of minutia: words uttered in routine conversations, facial expressions, bodily adornments, grooming habits, tweets posted and things collected and consumed. Focusing on the key domains of everyday life—work, school and home—we will engage in micro investigations: slowing down, paying close attention, observing systematically and deriving meaning from the details. Program activities, including lectures, workshops, field trips, films and book seminars, will build skills in empirical observation, documentation, asking questions, analysis, interpretation and writing. Students will read anthropological and sociological ethnographies and social psychological studies that inquire into small things and help us develop methodological approaches for studying closely. We will also engage in close readings of challenging theoretical texts that critically explore modes of power. Through these practices, students will learn the foundations of the interpretive social sciences.

|This program is designed to examine the history of the 19 and 20 century Chinese women's involvement in Chinese political movements and the forming of modern Chinese society. "Women hold up half of the sky!" -- quoted more than half of a century ago during the Chinese Communist revolution -- spells out the important part women played in the Communist rise to power. How do modern Chinese women shape their lives in today's fast growing economy, where more and more work outside of their homes, and where traditional values and ethics continue to influence their modern self defined roles? What forms have women's movement taken in the Chinese context? Chinese and Chinese American women's influence on the Chinese cultural development will also be examined. Readings of study and researches about this and other related topic will be covered, while students are also encouraged to select specific topic for more in depth study.

|In this one quarter program, we will explore the connections between human waste (excrement), urbanization, disease, and cultural order. Looking both globally and in the U.S., with an emphasis on the Puget Sound Region, we will consider wastewater planning efforts both past and present. From global philanthropic efforts to address sanitary living conditions to new innovations in household bathroom infrastructure, our examination will address both system-wide plans as well as detailed design issues of individual units. Students will learn about urban wastewater infrastructure, technical innovations in green building solutions, such as grey water systems, and developments in low-income settings globally. We will also explore the cultural dimensions of purity and waste, looking at potty humor, the gendering of bathroom spaces, pollution, and social class. Students should be prepared to confront and question their own "yuck" thresholds as we peek into sewers, observe wastewater treatment, and inhale the waft of waste.Students will be engaged in group projects and presentations, writing based on readings of texts, fieldtrips to waste management sites, speakers, and documentaries. This program will uniquely prepare students planning to pursue careers or graduate work in public infrastructure, urban planning, global health, international development and philanthropy, or engineering.
