Absolutely not. That's why I said:
"Whether the kernel knows what to do with the hardware or not, it
should at least see a PCI ID."
Just because I tell you I have a Rubik's cube in my hand doesn't mean
you know what to do with it.
To state it mathematically, the kernel knowing the PCI ID of your device
is a *necessary* condition for the device to be functional.
It's simply not a *sufficient* condition for the device to be

Can't help you there. But getting PCI devices to work on Linux is
usually very easy with the help of:
1. Google
2. The Ethernet HOWTO (if it's a network card/chipset)
Getting devices to work is basically:
1. Get the name or chipset of the hardware.
2. Google for the appropriate device driver.
3. Compile the driver if it's not already compiled.
4. Load the module.
Although I don't know much about your chipset, the fact that the light
doesn't come on is a very bad sign.
The fact that the kernel knows the PCI ID of the device is encouraging.
Do you know what module is required for your Gigabit device? That's the
first step.

Nurdin Topham, now head chef at Nur in Hong Kong, was involved in the work, and noticed that the flavour of the insects changed depending on what they had been fed. "The diets that the insects were fed made quite a significant difference to the quality, taste and freshness, in the same way as shellfish or prawns," he says. "There was a definite difference."
Indeed, Tiny Farms in Berkeley, California, is already doing this. It uses a process called gut loading – in which crickets are fed certain flavoured or nutrient-rich foods just before they are killed – to rear crickets that taste like honey and apples, or that are high in vitamin C. Bachhuber says Big Cricket Farms is planning to do the same on a bigger scale once it is fully up and running. He currently feeds the crickets with organic chicken feed, but plans to eventually use food waste from around Youngstown.
Over the coming months Bachhuber expects the 5000 insects in his first Youngstown facility to breed, producing 1 million crickets every four weeks – enough to produce 113 kilograms of cricket flour. When the warehouse reaches full capacity, he expects that number to reach 700 kilograms.
Paul Rozin, who studies the psychology of disgust at the University of Pennsylvania, says new and unusual foods tend to make their way into popular culture from the top down, starting with those who can afford to dine in expensive, adventurous restaurants.
Sushi is one example of this trend. The idea of eating raw fish was largely foreign to people in the US before the 1960s, but now sushi restaurants can be found almost anywhere. "Sushi originally started with Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles. It was just a local ethnic thing for them, but then they would invite their American counterparts," says Rozin. "It's true of most unusual cuisine – people who are wealthy and adventurous do something, and then it becomes trendy."
But even if nobody ever eats crickets as anything other than Six Foods's protein flour, they still have the potential to play an important role in improving public health and the environment, says Rozin. "If Pepsico starts using cricket flour as 3 per cent of Cheetos, then you've got a major impact."
This article appeared in print under the headline "More legs, more flavour"
Leader: "Let them eat crickets: Insects could be the new potato"
Correction, 30 May 2014: When this article was first published, we misstated the location of Tiny Farms.
Please feed the animals
People turn their noses up at insects, but many of the animals we like to eat aren't so fussy. In fact, they are evolved to chow down on insects.
Unlike cattle and sheep, whose stomachs efficiently convert grass into protein, fish and chickens need the amino acids found in flesh. To help meet that demand in farmed animals, a factory being built by Agriprotein in Cape Town, South Africa, will turn food waste into animal feed by raising flies en masse.
Jason Drew, who founded the firm, and his team had to overcome some challenges to raise flies on such a large scale. Flies don't like breezes, for example, but they still need fresh air circulating through their pens.
Water is also an issue. "The reason you find a fly in your coffee cup is that they are drawn to water, yet they drown incredibly easily," says Drew. After much trial and error, the team alighted on the solution of floating chunks of polystyrene on water. "You've got a perfectly dry place for them to stand, with millions of small gaps to drink from," he says.
Agriprotein harvests the fly larvae and turns them into what it calls "Magmeal". The Cape Town factory is predicted to produce 7 tonnes of Magmeal a day once fully operational.
And though it's not the main purpose, people can eat them too, Drew says. "We had larvae pizza with the management team the other day. They taste a bit like pistachio."
Taste test
Nurdin Topham, head chef at the restaurant Nur in Hong Kong, gives New Scientist some tasting notes on insects he has tried
Bee larvae
Yuck factor: 4
"Bee larvae was a flavour that was reasonable for me. It's something quite different, and has a kind of creamy, slightly avocadoey kind of flavour, with a little bit of insect funk. There's a slight hint of honey."
Yuck factor: 2
"Ants were one of the most delicious things I've tasted to date. The ants we tried all tasted different. It had something to do with their formic acid content. Some of them really did taste like lemongrass. Another one like lime leaves. It was really quite remarkable. I was like, 'wow, that's delicious'. But then we experimented with large ants in Hong Kong and they were disgusting."
Yuck factor: 10
"Cockroach was just a step too far. That I found really repulsive."
Yuck factor: 9
"They had a natural purity of flavour if you were to blanch or steam them, a kind of funky stink. It was very unfamiliar and off-putting. If you had to eat them, the best way was to fry them. That caramelises the proteins, giving them a sort of caramelised oniony flavour."

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Even though the geographic region of Southern California is somewhat of college baseball's mecca, with nationally ranked squads within a thirty minute drive of one another, I was pleasantly surprised to be sitting in traffic on the way to the Dirtbags home opener. It being February, and the support for both the Long Beach State and USC baseball squads this early in the season was quite surprising. Obviously, last years season of success for the Dirtbags is still carrying momentum into this season, which brought the biggest crowd in Long Beach State baseball history, what actually looked much bigger from within, a tally of 3, 342 fans at Blair Field.

Pepperdine knocks off Long Beach 14-3 in Fall Ball
MALIBU, Calif. – Junior transfer Colin Rooney's (Yorba Linda, Calif./Saddleback College) eighth-inning, three-run homer was the key shot in Pepperdine's 14-3 victory over Long Beach State Sunday afternoon at Eddy D. Field Stadium.
The two-out blast to left center increased the Waves' lead from four to seven, and more importantly, crushed any hopes for a Long Beach comeback in today's scheduled 10-inning exhibition. Continue reading Pepperdine knocks off Long Beach 14-3 in Fall Ball
Pepperdine and LBSU tie at 8
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Pepperdine shortstop Denny Duron gunned down Long Beach State's Brennan Metzger at home plate by for the final out of Saturday's 8-8 tie between the Waves and Dirtbags at Blair Field.
Long Beach had already scored twice in its half of the ninth when Duron (Shreveport, La./Evangel Christian Academy) scooped a ball hit up the middle by Jonathan Jones. Realizing he had no chance to catch the speedy centerfielder, the senior wheeled around and fired a bullet to rookie catcher Nathan Johnson (Camarillo, Calif./Camarillo HS), who applied the tag on Metzger.

Phillies-Rays set to face off in World Series
Most of my readers know that I am a diehard Red Sox fan but we have to congratulate to the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays after they both advance to the 2008 World Series. The Rays ended up making the series on the arm of David Price who was the number 1 pick in the 2007 MLB draft after a standout career with the Vanderbilt Commodores. He ended up getting the final four outs in Game 7 of the ALCS protecting a two run lead. They also featured 2006 number 3 overall pick, 2005 Cape Cod League MVP, and 2006 Big West Player of the Year Evan Longoria from Long Beach State. He has played in all eleven games of the playoffs with a .262 average, six homers, and eleven RBI. Continue reading Phillies-Rays set to face off in World Series

Checking in on Long Beach State's 2009 Recruits
The Long Beach Press Telegram writer Bob Keisser has written an article previewing the 15 new faces around the Long Beach State program in 2009 and a potential lineup. The biggest name in the group is former Miami (FL) corner infielder Joey Terdoslavich who will be sitting out the 2009 season due to the new transfer rules. Andrew Gagnon who was selected in the 10th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates turned down a sizable bonus to play for the Dirtbags. He went 8-3 with a 1.58 ERA with Liberty High School in California. He should be able to compete for a spot in the starting rotation right away. Continue reading Checking in on Long Beach State's 2009 Recruits

On The Fly: Top stock stories for Friday
Subscribe for More Information
On The Fly: Top stock stories at midday
Stocks on Wall Street were mixed at midday, with Nike's (NKE) post-earnings rise providing a boost to the Dow and Micron's (MU) slide dragging on the tech-heavy Nasdaq. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading rebounded to 96.1 in the final June report from the preliminary 94.6 reading. That revised figure topped the expected reading of 95. In Europe, the ECB left the level of emergency cash available to Greek banks unchanged again Friday as deposit outflows have slowed, according to people familiar with the matter reporting to Bloomberg. Greek leaders are scheduled to hold talks Saturday with the Eurogroup in what may be the nation's last chance for a deal ahead of the expiration of the current bailout agreement on June 30. In China, stocks plunged by the most in five months as the Shanghai Composite Index fell 7.4%, with market watchers citing margin worries and concerns that the PBOC will be less likely to undertake further rate cuts. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Nike advanced 4% after the athletic apparel and sneaker maker reported fourth quarter results that handily beat expectations. Several firms raised their respective price targets on the stock following the company's Q4 report, including Goldman, which reiterated its Conviction Buy rating on Nike and raised its price target to $131 from $121. Finish Line (FINL), an athletic shoe and apparel retailer that sells Nike products, rose 5% after its own first quarter results also topped the consensus forecast. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was OPKO Health (OPK), which rose nearly 4% after the company announced the decision of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network to include 4Kscore as a recommended test in the 2015 NCCN Guidelines for Prostate Cancer Early Detection. Additionally, CEO Phillip Frost disclosed in regulatory filings that he'd acquired over 64,000 shares of the company stock in the last two days. Also higher was Kforce (KFRC), which gained 7% after SunTrust upgraded the stock to Buy and raised its price target to $27 from $24, noting that the firm's private IT staffing poll suggests margin assumptions may prove conservative. Among the noteworthy losers was Micron, which sunk about 19% after the flash memory maker reported weaker than expected results last night and provided lower than expected Q4 revenue guidance. Also lower were shares of coal miner Peabody (BTU), which fell 7% after Moody's downgraded the company's credit rating to reflect the firm's expectation for the deterioration in the company's credit metrics to be more precipitous than it had previously thought due to the ongoing decline in the seaborne metallurgical coal markets. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 53.70, or 0.3%, to 17,944.06, the Nasdaq was down 40.56, or 0.79%, to 5,071.62, and the S&P 500 was down 2.18, or 0.1%, to 2,100.13.

Site Owner
Posts: 67
William Enyeart 1748-1828, with his two wives, Catherine Schell and Jane Norris, had an extensive family of children. I recently had an inquiry to try and sort out all of the children that William Enyeart had. I am curious to find out what other researchers have for this man! I list 7 children to Catherine and 16 to Jane. Some have suggested that there were many more! If you have a list, please share it here, and we'll compare!
Posts: 17
This is the list I have. One source of information I had indicated that, except for the twin daughters who died at birth, all of William's children live to adulthood. Even though it would be possible to fit another baby into this list (between Rebecca and Margaret, for instance), I can believe this is the complete list.
1. Catherine Shell (1750-1788)
Children John Enyeart (1774-1852)

Elizabeth Enyeart (1779-1855)
David Enyeart (1787-1857)
Twin Daughter 1 Enyeart (1788-1788)
Twin Daughter 2 Enyeart (1788-1788)
2. Jane Norris (1772- )
Marriage 6 Sep 1788 (about age 40) Huntingdon County, PA1
Children James Enyeart (1789-1835)
Joseph Enyeart (1790-1852)
Silas Enyeart (1792-1853)
Thomas Enyeart (1793-1837)
Catherine Enyeart (1794-1864)
Benjamin Enyeart (1797-1865)

Lagrange interpolation is one of the coolest numerical methods that I have ever studied; there is much beauty in its sublime simplicity. In the post I want to discuss the basic idea of the technique as well as a problem with the technique that has been missing from the textbooks that I have consulted thus far. We wish to solve the following problem: given some function \(f(x)\), can we construct a convenient approximate polynomial that reproduces the exact value of \(f(x)\) at some set of points \(\{x_i\}\). Lagrange approached this problem by approximating \(f(x)\) as a linear combination of its values at the interpolation points:
\(\displaystyle P(x) \approx \sum_{k = 0}^{N} L_{n,k}(x) f(x_k) \)
Examining this functional form, we can see that in order to satisfy our requirement that \(\forall k\ P(x_k) = f(x_k)\), we need our functions \(L_{n,k}(x)\) to satisfy the following conditions:\(\displaystyle L_{n,k}(x_j) = 1 \iff j = k\)
\(\displaystyle L_{n,k}(x_j) = 0 \iff j \neq k\)
Lagrange constructed the following functions to satisfy these conditions:\(\displaystyle L_{n,k}(x) = \prod_{i \neq k} \frac{(x – x_i)}{(x_k – x_i)}\)
You can verify that this function satisfies the requirements above. For a cool illustration of how well this process can work, consider the figure below:
You can see that as we use more and more interpolation points, our result systematically converges toward the function that we are approximating:
Runge's Phenomenon
An interesting property of Lagrange interpolation is that adding more interpolation points, and thus using a higher-degree polynomial to approximate our function, can actually lead to worse accuracy in some cases. This problem is known as Runge's Phenomenon, and is illustrated in the figure below:
As you can see, we no longer obtain well-behaved convergence with higher-order polynomials:
This problem can be ameliorated by the use of better interpolation points such as the Chebyshev nodes, which I will discuss in a future post. The source code used to prepare these plots is available on my github.

Greg Mancz Named to Rimington Trophy Watch List
TOLEDO – University of Toledo senior Greg Mancz (Cincinnati, OH) was today named to the watch list for the 2014 Rimington Trophy, which honors the top center in the nation.
Mancz, a two-time All-MAC honoree, has started 38 consecutive games at guard and tackle in his career. Toledo head coach Matt Campbell said he anticipates that Mancz will start at center for the Rockets this fall.
The winner will be recognized at the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre in Lincoln, NE on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015.
The Rimington Trophy is named for Dave Rimington, who was a consensus first-team All-America center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the John Outland Trophy's only double winner as the nation's finest college interior lineman.

"Factory Setting: the space of labor" is an installation-in-progress by Tsz Yan Ng, taking place at 2739 Edwin Gallery with viewing hours from 1-5 p.m. every Saturday (including tomorrow, August 31, and the closing reception next Saturday, September 7, from 6-9 p.m.). These are your chances to view the work in progress and completed piece, which constitutes a massive weaving of two large-scale photographs taken from the exterior and interior of a Chinese textile-weaving factory for which the artist is one of the architects of record.
The process is intricate and intensive, involving first the design and construction of a paper loom, and then the detailed threading of weft and warp "threads" of the printed photographic material. Ng is active in her work during the gallery's open hours, but the final product will represent dozens of hours of labor. Her focus on process, the multi-dimensional nature of her perspective on the work and the subject, and her generally approachable nature make this piece fascinating, and one that I will certainly be revisiting to see the progress.
The final image, as laid out using imaging software, looks to be a powerful piece in its own right, with an interplay of scale and contrast between human and industrial subject matter. Overall, excellent and moving work in progress over at 2739 Edwin, a place that continues to push an agenda around the nature of art in our daily lives.
2739 Edwin Gallery: 2739 Edwin St., Hamtramck; 2739edwin.com. Gallery hours are Saturdays, 1-5 p.m. or by appointment (available by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com).

Real Housewives of New York
Who's Your Favorite New Housewife on RHONY?
With three episodes under its Hermes belt, The Real Housewives of New York Season 5 seems to have entered a comfort zone with the mix of three returning castmates and three new ladies. The group dynamic, and individual spats, has changed dramatically since Season 4, but everyone's settling in. So which of the new girls is your favorite?
Heather Thomson was the first new girl to find herself in stirring up drama with an alum, getting into an argument with Ramona Singer in the premiere episode of Season 5. She's a proven success in the branding business world, and she appears to have a very loving family and marriage.
Aviva Drescher has the story of her prosthetic leg to evoke some sympathy, and her family is absolutely adorable. But she seems to pick sides of an argument depending on who she's with at the moment. In last night's episode, she was laughing and getting along with Heather at a group lunch, and just a couple of scenes later, she was telling Ramona how Heather talks too much.
Then there's Carole Radziwill, who has an ostensibly "cool" life as a rock star's casual girlfriend, wealthy princess, writer, and flirt. But is her "cool" vibe a little too cool for your taste?
Take the poll below and tell us: Who's your favorite new Real Housewife of New York?
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Prof. of American Studies and Women's and Gender Studies at Dickinson College, Dr. Amy Farrell, lectured on "Fat Shame and Feminism." She began her lecture by showing over 20 images of overweight women. The images conveyed a message that the women were silly, lazy and unattractive compared to thin women.
The Women's Studies Program and the Hankey Center hosted Farrell as part of a series of events recognizing National Women's History Month.
On Thurs, March 1, in Laird Hall's Patterson Lounge, Farrell gave the lecture about the stigma of being overweight in American culture from a feminist perspective.
Judging women by physical appearance
Dir. of the Hankey Center for the Education and Advancement of Women, Amy Ensley, said, "I invited Amy Farrell because she has done important research on the history of the stigmatization of body types. Women in America are often judged on their physical appearance rather than their intellectual capabilities and I think it is interesting to see how that began."
Farrell began the lecture showing two newspaper advertisements from the 1920s, "To Stout People" and "To Ladies." The advertisements showed how society has labeled fat as taboo, especially for women.
'Fat shame' vs. obesity epidemic
Farrell hopes people recognize the way that the stigma works in our culture. People might question how they view themselves, representation in the media and concerns about the obesity epidemic.
After the lecture, about 20 attendees commented on the lecture's theme. They shared their thoughts, experiences and questions for over an hour. Especially, people talked about the pressures of weight standards, societal influences and making right decisions towards fat shame.
"It is a controversial topic because of the ideology and fat shame. In our society, it's a hot topic and the lecture is taking on writing about it and educating people about it. It is the impressive part of the lecture for me," Heather Humwood '14 says.
Farrell leaves a comment to students, "I would say that actually the materials that I show, especially in early feminism, show the ways that body shaming was often used to control women and do not let that happen."
As stated on the college's news webpage, "Farrell also serves as the Curley Faculty Chair in Liberal Arts. In addition to Fat Shame, she is the author of Yours in Sisterhood: Ms. Magazine and the Promise of Popular Feminism. Farrell has appeared twice on television's The Colbert Report to discuss the stigma against fat people."

Pitch Perfect 2012 720p BluRay x264-SPARKS
After the DVDRip, here's a BluRay of the new comedy movie starring Anna Kendrick Pitch Perfect. I'm not quite sure about the movie, never heard of it before but the reviews seem okay, as they're average on both RT and IMDB. English subtitles come along with the release. Enjoy!
Update: Pitch Perfect 2012 1080p BluRay x264-SPARKS – SPARKS have released the 1080p BluRay.

Plot: Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect. When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Spoiler: Derek and Callie Are Back in The…
Jesse Williams (Jackson Avery) recently tweeted a photo that he posted on WhoSay (below), which shows Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Callie (Sara Ramirez) sitting side by side in what appears to be yet another conference room scene (hence the leather chairs).
Our best guess is that this has to do with the plane crash lawsuit, because they're both involved in that, and that's one circumstance that would definitely take them away from the OR. Well, take Callie away from the OR and take Derek away from the gallery. However, if it's just the two of them, could this have to do with Derek's hand and a certain second opinion?
Or there's always the possibility that this is about something we're not even aware of yet, such as a particular patient they're both working with, etc. Regardless, the two of them do not look happy, so we are not-so-secretly hoping that it doesn't have to do with Derek's hand. That gorgeous man does not belong in the gallery.
What do you think this could be a sneak peak of? And do you love the new friendship between Derek and Callie as much as we do?
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, November 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Hey there Barry! Good to see you stop by.
Yes TV is definitely addicting but then again most of us have our addictions, the internet, craft hobbies, reading......
a world without tv we all would be come zombies lol.
hello barry.
Well ended up going in for part of a shift today so didn't have a chance to peek in earlier. Now I think I'll head to bed since I'm working the next couple of days! Keep the party going guys!
It's going to be very warm here in Chicago. I guess I am going to just appreciate my air conditioning today, and not go outside for any reason. Not if I can help it. I remember these days as a kid. I remember how hard it was to sleep. Not much got done, due to the fact that the high temperatures just drains the energy out of a person.
So what am I going to do today? Perhaps, I will finally clean out the basement refrigerator/freezer. There's stuff down there in that freezer that needs tossing. I better bag it well, though, before one of the boys takes it out to the trash.
Or, I could start taking down the wallpaper in my bathroom, before the electrician returns on Monday.
Happy Friday.
Disneyland Here I Come Again!
October 1, to October 6, 2015
Morning all! I did a bit of freezer cleaning myself the other day. Hope to maybe do some more next Wed. I did it last Wed. because our trash goes out on Thursday. That way, it doesn't have to sit in the can to long.
Well it was getting busy at the hospital last night when I left... hope today is a more mellow day. We haven't had a lot of patience, which is normal for this time of year. Usually in the summer the census goes down, which is a nice break. But winter hits and it gets crazy.
At least I'll be in air conditioned comfort today and tomorrow. Although if we do have some thunder storms I'll miss them.
Morning room! I don't really watch a whole lot on TV. I watch Grimm, Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy, America's Funniest Videos and the Amazing Race. During summer I watch America's Got Talent and Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition.
I also TiVo reruns of Frasier and Hoarders. I watch Frasier sometimes at night to unwind and I watch Hoarders when I don't want to clean. My house is immaculate by comparison, lol.
My house is generally a large mess. With two dogs (a larger mutt and a smaller mutt), two cats, and a bunch of my daughters friends over at all hours of the day and night.......
good evenin room
That's the way it was with my boys. I always had a house/yard full of activity . The boys were busy doing many things, all at once it seemed. I miss those days.
Disneyland Here I Come Again!
October 1, to October 6, 2015
My house is very lived in... which is why I like to watch Horders... I always say I'm one box away from being on that show....
Not a bad day at work. Had 4 admits but we have a unit clerk on the desk now. She's still new... and she does bug me in some ways getting in my way... but she's only been on the job a couple of weeks so...
One more day. Just have to make it through one more day. Then I have one day off. Then... go back to the hospital Monday. But after that I have several days before I have to work again.
Ok bed time for me. Catch you kiddles sometime tomorrow!

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Grandinetti757 O.K. After you spray the surface it does a good job of making it sticky, however if the grip begins getting dirty again you'll experience no grip and having to find yourself re-spraying. Also when the grip gets wet the spray doesn't keep it full of grip but the opposite, it gets very slippery. January 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Speedy Not all Dick's stores carry this product Being in my 60's, I was finding it more difficult to hold on to my clubs during my swings because of arthritis in my hands. Because of this, I was swinging slower to avoid loosing my clubs in a hard swing. Since I found the golf tac spray at Dick's Sporting Goods, I find that I am able to once again take full swings with my clubs thus increasing my distance and accuracy without fear of loosing the club in my swing. Thanks Golf Tac, Dean in Kankakee, Ill. April 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Drosy Golf Grip Enhancer Product works well in extreme warm weather. Best if applied in short bursts every few holes. If applied directly to the hand, it turns the skin a pale yellow color - it does come off. August 21, 2012

Louisiana Governor Signs 2% Renewable Fuels Standard into Law
13 June 2006
|Dark green states have signed an RFS into law. Light green states have an RFS in the legislative process.
Bucking opposition from a number of quarters (earlier post), Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco signed HB 685, Louisiana's Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) into law. The bill will mandate a 2% target by sales volume for both ethanol and biodiesel once pre-conditions are met.
This makes Louisiana the sixth state with its own renewable fuels standard, and the first Southern state to mandate one. (Missouri may become the next state with an RFS, as the legislature has passed the Missouri RFS (HB 1270) and it now awaits the signature of that Missouri Governor Matt Blunt.)
The Louisiana RFS, however, will likely not take effect, according to the Governor, for some time.
In examining this bill, I looked at four key points. First, ethanol facilities will provide Louisiana farmers a new market for their crops, diversifying our economy and creating hundreds of permanent jobs. Second, consumers are expected to have affordable, quality choices at the pump or the implementation of the ethanol legislation will be delayed by the Department of Agriculture. Third, ethanol blends reduce the toxicity of fuels and are better for the environment. And finally, it will take at least 18 to 24 months before producers can make enough product to trigger the mandate in the legislation.—Governor Blanco
Furthermore, Bob Odom, the Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture & Forestry, has agreed to "delay implementation of the law if it means consumers will have to pay more to fill up their vehicles."
That promise of a delay based on high prices is designed to counter the objections that the implementation of the RFS will drive up the price at the pump.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Louisiana Governor Signs 2% Renewable Fuels Standard into Law:
According to this Green Car Congress report from several weeks ago, Iowa was the fifth state. That would make Louisiana the 6th:
What sort of impact could a 2% mandate possibly have? I mean, if it was *twice* as expensive, it would result in price increases of... 2%. Since it isn't twice as expensive, we'd expect the price increase to be less than 2%.
So, gas would go from $2.80 a gallon to $2.85. That isn't exactly bank-breaking stuff here.
Corrected. Thank you.
Great! What a wonderful world. 2 %.....
At least it's a step in the right direction, Ian. Now only if we can get more states to follow suit.
Last time I checked 2% is greater than 0%.
Besides, if we increased ethanol requirements too much across the entire USA we'd have to start importing ethanol...and how does that help energy independence?
California and Arizona are shown as not participating, but that's not really accurate. Since the ban on MTBE, CA and the major populated regions of AZ are all on E10, which is of course way more than E2.
Ethanol represents about 5.6% of the California gasoline pool, but is not due to a RFS standard. Legislators are evaluating the possibility of an E10 standard. http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006/04/brazilian_ethan.html

Chapter 2 explains why a strong manufacturing sector is important for the nation's growth, employment, and national security. It describes the recent declines in U.S. manufacturing and its impacts, previews potential opportunities for "re-shoring" U.S. manufacturing, and discusses how MEP can be a valuable part of a larger national strategy to support manufacturing.
Chapters 3 through 6 of this report describe and assess the MEP program. Chapter 3 describes MEP's focus on lean manufacturing services. Chapter 4 describes how MEP measures its performance, while Chapter 5 provides an analysis of outcomes. Chapter 6 describes MEP's new innovation-oriented strategy that is based on an expanded view of its role in supporting manufacturing and also analyzes the challenges MEP faces in implementing this strategy.
Addressing the second facet of the Statement of Task, which is to "identify and review similar national programs from abroad in order to draw on foreign practices, funding levels, and accomplishments as a point of reference; and discuss current needs and initiatives in light of the global focus on advanced manufacturing." Chapter 7 provides an overview of leading foreign programs to support applied research and manufacturing, revealing the significant scope and commitment of efforts around the world. This analysis is further deepened by a review, found in Appendix A, of five leading national programs to support applied research and manufacturing: Canada's Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP), Germany's Fraunhofer Institutes, Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the United Kingdom's Catapult program, and France's Carnot initiative.
In light of the evaluation of the MEP program and the review of foreign programs, Chapter 8 of this report draws together the committee's findings and sets out its consensus recommendations to improve MEP operations and impact and outline potential lessons for U.S. policy.

hung tough with No. 1 Texas Wednesday night, but eventually succumbed to the Longhorns 3-1 (25-27, 25-17, 25-13, 25-16). The loss drops the Cyclones to 18-8 overall and 11-4 in the Big 12. Texas improves to 22-2 overall and 15-0 in Big 12 play.
Turning Point of the Match
Iowa State went into the locker rooms with momentum after dominating the second set 25-17 to even up the match at one set apiece. However, the Texas servers raised their game in the third set and left the Cyclones in the dust. The top-spin jump serve of Haley Eckerman was the first to strike as she led Texas on a 4-0 run to get the Longhorns up 5-2 in the third set. After trading a few points, UT's Hannah Allison went and started her own 6-0 run to leave Iowa State in a 13-4 hole that they were unable to get out of.
In the fourth set, it was an 8-0 run on the serve of Amy Neal that put the Longhorns up 19-8 in the frame and give UT control of the match.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of tonight's match.
Cyclone Match Ball Goes to...
Kristen Hahn. On an emotional Senior Night, Hahn showed the 3,490 who came to Hilton Coliseum why her spot in Iowa State volleyball history has already been cemented. When the Cyclones lost in Austin back on Oct. 19, the Longhorns did a good job making sure they were not targeting Hahn, going around one of the nation's top defensive players as best they could.
Tonight, they did not get that option as Hahn covered the court and took the hardest shots Texas' All-American attackers could send at her. She finished her final match in Hilton Coliseum with 24 digs, five assists and a kill.

Cisco eyes smaller businesses for growthApril 22, 2004
More than a fourth of European IT managers in small businesses said they believe that company employees are responsible for security problems, according to research commissioned by security software company Websense.
The most frustrating problem for IT managers is employee behavior (cited by nearly a third of managers), followed by security not being high enough on the corporate agenda and then budget constraints.
The survey found that nearly a third of employees said they need to access sites known to present a high security risk, such as peer-to-peer services and free software-downloading sites.
The extent to which workers use the Web is highlighted by the finding that European employees spend an average of two hours per day online at work, with about a half hour of that spent browsing sites not related to work.
But suspicious IT managers believe that the time spent on such sites is closer to 48 minutes--or the equivalent of four hours per week.
The survey also reveals that 23 percent of small to midsize companies have Web security policies but don't enforce them among their employees. Another 16 percent of smaller enterprises have no Web usage policy at all, preferring to trust employees to not put them at risk.
Websense's SMB State of Security survey covered 375 IT managers and 375 employees from companies of between 100 and 250 users in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Tim Ferguson of Silicon.com reported from London.

- I agree 100% !!!!!
- Employee who refuse IT advice.
Such as......
DO NOT SHOP THERE! they will infect your pc!
DO NOT USE P2P software or you will be fired!
even after 2 years I still find IMESH and bit torrent on computers.
Employees just do not care. They get fired just as fast.

- Even with their priviledges restricted users continue to find ways
to screw up their Windows machines. So we layer on more and
more external protection (web filters, antivirus devices etc.) to
try to save them from themselves.
How much time do they screw off on non-business related
Internet use? While we have the ability to track usage, only one
manager has ever asked for a report. But based on the amount
of traffic from youtube, etc. that I see the last couple hours of
the day, it's a lot.
And it's not just the rank and file. Those with the big offices and
titles are just as guilty.

- Blaming co-workers is NOT the answer
- Employees should NOT be expected to be security experts and I believe it is completely unreasonable to expect them to be. The infrastructure really needs to protect itself against malicious activities - by both insiders and outsiders. Expecting employees to carry the burden of security is simply short-sighted and unreasonable, in my opinion.
As I discuss in my recent blog entry, http://www.rsa.com/blog/blog_entry.aspx?id=1217, employees should not be expected to carry this burden. Companies really need to step up and put solutions in place that are readily available to enable their infrastructure to defend itself.

My mother has Polycystic Kidney disease. She is in renal failure and
currently does dialysis at home. She needs a healthy donor with type O
blood. All medical costs such as testing and the transplant itself are
covered by her insurance. We are located in Central Illinois, but all
testing can be done at your local doctors office or hospital. If anyone
would be interested in donating please call the OSF Transplant office at
309-655-4101 and tell them you would like to be tested to donate a
kidney to Patricia Holobaugh. If you would like information on kidney donation they will be
more than happy to send you a packet.
There can be no greater gift than the gift of life. Ever since I was little I was convinced I would be my mother's donor. I wanted to be the one who saved her. I was tested twice to be her donor but due to antibodies, we just weren't matching up. I have since found out that I also have PKD and it has already spread to both kidneys. As I see what she is going through, I see my future. My childrens future as well. I would like to see that there's hope in our future. I would like to see that there are loving individuals out there willing to share the gift of life with others. She currently does peritoneal dialysis at home. She has to exchange her fluids every 4 hours, it is very intrusive and time consuming. However, she is always positive and never lets anything get her down. She is a very strong woman and I can only hope to be as brave as her...

Lavallee has been provost and vice president of the City College of New York since 1994 and will begin his appointment at SUNY New Paltz in the summer of '99. According to Bowen, the College is fortunate to have attracted this " top-flight chemist,internationalist and proven administrator," because he is both experienced with the CUNY system and very supportive of a student- centered strategic plan such as New Paltz's. Congratulations Lavallee, and welcome.
A Hudson Valley Holiday
The Concert Choir, directed by Edward Lundergan (Music), is featured on a new compact disc released by the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) titled A Hudson Valley Holiday. "We all just had a royal blast recording it," said HVP music director Randall Craig Fleischer. "It's a great community project. We did the whole CD in one day — Boom. It just goes to show you how the projects you put together quickly can produce the best results." The Concert Choir performs Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Wassail Song" and a selection from Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols titled "This Little Babe." The CD costs approximately $15 and can be ordered by phone through the HVP at (845) 454-1222 or at one of the following locations: The HVP box office at 11 Cannon Street in Poughkeepsie; Bethehem Art Gallery on Jackson Avenue in New Windsor; or Clearwater Gifts at Jones Farms, located at 190 Angola Road in Cornwall.
Party time
A 75th Birthday Concert honoring the internationally renowned composer Robert Starer celebrates six decades of composition of piano music and other chamber works which the New York Times calls "rich-textured, deeply expressive music that has something to say, and says it with fervor, originality and conviction."

SUNY New Paltz has been extending its resources to New Paltz High School students. Prior to the start of the fall '98 semester, High School athletics director John Ford and Jim Zalacca (Athletics) determined that New Paltz High School sports teams would take advantage of the College's vast intramural playing fields while their own fields are being refurbished, with completion scheduled for fall '99. Soccer and field hockey teams have been holding their practices and home games here at SUNY all semester, and baseball and softball teams will do the same this spring. Since New Paltz High School is not equipped with a swimming pool, their swim teams have regularly used our pool and will continue to do so in the future.

WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!! I think someone told you this in all of the other forums too. Just because its CDMA doesn't mean that they will automatically roam off one another. If there is no agreement between the company then they wont "see" the tower. It all depends on where you are and who is in the area.
Specifically, what will happen is if you put a Sprint phone into forced roaming in an area where no agreement exists: the phone will pick up a signal, but if you try to make a call, you get a recorded message saying that you are not authorized to use carrier "X" system.

- "Pandering to your perversions since 1966"
- ―Motto
Jazz Mags is a magazines store in Palomino Creek, San Andreas, which opened in 1966. The stores slogan is "Pandering to your Perversions Since 1966". The store cannot be accessed by the player and does not play any part in the storyline whatsoever. It is implied to be a pornographic magazine store, not only by the slogan, but because Jazz Mags sounds similar to "jizz rags".

'Sesame Street' video: Melissa McCarthy and Elmo teach kids about choreographersAdd to Favorites | Sesame Street
When you think of important information that all children need to learn in order to grow up, you don't necessarily think of choreography. This is apparently where "Sesame Street" knows more than the rest of us. As a result, Melissa McCarthy ( "Mike & Molly") and Elmo spend some quality time with a penguin in order to teach kids the word, "choreographer."
McCarthy will appear on Thursday's (March 21) episode of the kids' show. While the themes of that episode are not yet known, we might be getting a fair amount of dance. An episode (or even part of an episode) about dancing would explain how a word like choreographer makes it in.
As for McCarthy, it's not like the "Bridesmaids" and "Gilmore Girls" star is particularly noted for her dance moves. That's okay. This is "Sesame Street," not "So You Think You Can Dance." All McCarthy really needs to do is have a sense of humor (obviously not a problem for the actress) and the ability to flap her arms to music.
The result is honestly quite funny. While the best part, for an adult watching this, may be McCarthy's totally deadpan delivery of "Elmo, that's a penguin," a couple of other highlights also stood out. The "Flap-a-waddle-boom-boom" dance, for example, is more or less the perfect choreography for the pre-school set.
Whatever we get for the rest of this episode, the McCarthy bits seem certain to be excellent. Future "Sesame Street" guest stars Jon Hamm and Matt Kemp will have to work hard to match Melissa.
For now, jazz flippers!

Global warming may be key factor in frog deaths
May 28, 2007
Two papers criticize a 2006 paper led by ecologist Alan Pounds, which argued that the primary factor of amphibian decline is the deadly chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the outbreak of which is worsening due to climate change.
In the first paper, Ross A. Alford, Kay S. Bradfield and Stephen J. Richards says that populations of two frog species in tropical Australia show "increasing developmental instability, which is evidence of stress at least two years before they showed chytrid-related declines." They say the findings suggest that the Pounds et al. model is incomplete and "their test of the climate-linked epidemic hypothesis could be inconclusive."
In a third paper, Pounds and colleagues respond to the criticisms, arguing that their working model was "appropriate" and highlighting the complexity of amphibian decline, which likely results "as global warming conspires with various other agents." Pounds et al. note that the new research supports the contention that climate change is playing a role in the biodiversity crisis.
According to the Global Amphibian Assessment, a comprehensive status assessment of the world's amphibian species, one-third of the world's 5,918 known amphibian species are classified as threatened with extinction. Further, more than 170 species have likely gone extinct since 1980. Scientists say the worldwide decline of amphibians is one of the world's most pressing environmental concerns; one that may portend greater threats to the ecological balance of the planet. Because amphibians have highly permeable skin and spend a portion of their life in water and on land, they are sensitive to environmental change and can act as the proverbial "canary in a coal mine," indicating the relative health of an ecosystem. As they die, scientists are left wondering what plant or animal group is next.

(5/23/2007) Scientists have discovered a possible treatment for the fungal disease that has killed millions of amphibians worldwide. Presenting Wednesday at the General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in Toronto, Professor Reid N. Harris at James Madison University reported that Pedobacter cryoconitis, a bacteria found naturally on the skin of red-backed salamanders, wards off the deadly chytridiomycosis fungus, an infection cited as a contributing factor to the global decline in amphibians observed over the past three decades.
(4/18/2007) Poison arrow frogs appear to make special effort to avoid exposure to damaging ultraviolet-B radiation, according to research published in the journal Biotropica. The findings are significant in light of increasing levels of UV-B radiation due to ozone depletion.
(4/16/2007) Chilling new evidence suggests amphibians may be in worse shape than previously thought due to climate change. Further, the findings indicate that the 70 percent decline in amphibians over the past 35 years may have been exceeded by a sharp fall in reptile populations, even in otherwise pristine Costa Rican habitats. Ominously, the new research warns that protected areas strategies for biodiversity conservation will not be enough to stave off extinction. Frogs and their relatives are in big trouble.

text: Fertilizer In Little Shop of Horrors, a down-on-his-luck shopkeeper's assistant named Seymour discovers a rare plant species that brings him fame and fortune. The plant is christened Twoey (short for Audrey II), after Seymour's secret love, Audrey. But Twoey is no ordinary plant. He is, in fact, an alien that lives off of human blood. "Feed me, Seymour, feed me!" he cries. And Seymour has no choice but to open up his veins in reply. More
