Andrew Elliott-Johnson's dream is to build his own eight-foot tall bi-pedal robot.
"I like doing things like this," he said. "It will be an industrial type machine with a person inside it."
Elliott-Johnson, of Smithfield, is part of the Engineers of Tomorrow robotics team, a local robotics team traveling to Atlanta this week to participate in a national competition.
Underage drinking is a serious problem, with roots deep in our culture. Teens are in a constant state of searching for who they are and who they want to become. They have a desire for adventure and excitement as well as a desire to feel more grown up. Unfortunately, many teens turn to alcohol to fill this need for enlightenment, exhilaration and maturity. These reasons are often compounded by their belief that they are indestructible.
In celebration of the 36th annual National Volunteer Week, April 19-25, the American Cancer Society recognizes and celebrates the efforts of its more than three million volunteers nationwide who are making a difference for people facing cancer every day. In Henry County, many volunteers give their time and talent to fight back against the disease.
The Points of Light Foundation and Volunteer Center National Network sponsor the annual National Volunteer Week, which began in 1974 with an executive order by President Richard Nixon.

Work is finally set to begin on two major New Castle sewer projects.
Last week, Henry County Judge-Executive John Logan Brent said New Castle received a grant of $475,000 from the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority for the job. "It looks like the sewer projects will come to fruition," he told the New Castle City Commission last week.
In a not-so-ideal situation, the first four innings were played on Thursday, April 2, the final three innings were played on Saturday, April 11, and the Henry County softball team came away with a 7-0 win over Carroll County.
Years from now, when we look back on Kentucky's growing role in helping the country become more energy independent, the first few months of this year will undoubtedly be considered a pivotal time.
As a motorcycle rider, I have to be constantly on guard for road hazards that can cause me to lose control of my bike. Small things like loose gravel or animals darting across the road are perilous for a biker.
One person suffered minor injuries in a single vehicle accident that shut down a major Henry County roadway last week.
Kentucky 146 was closed for eight hours after a tanker truck overturned about five miles west of New Castle at around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 9.

On April 2, Speaker Nancy Pelosi succeeded in passing her federal budget that outlines more than $3.5 trillion in spending for fiscal year 2010. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office projected a $1.8 trillion deficit for the current fiscal year, and that does not include the stimulus bill that will cost Americans more than $1 trillion, which was signed into law by the President on Feb. 1. As of April 7, the U.S. national debt stands at more than $11 trillion.

where to buy polly-o cheese curds online
is there a website that you can order polly o cheese curds for homemade motzarella cheese. Thanks
Re: where to buy polly-o cheese curds online
I have ordered Polly-O cheese curds several times but...since I now have a local source...it has been several years. There is a big shipping cost issue for the minimum order is usually 20 pounds and shipping must be FAST so it usually costs more than the curds. NOTE: when I was ordering mozz I found the availability spotty at best. An internet search seems to confirm that phenomenon as I found a supplier on Amazon but they don't have any!
The real secret is you need to find it locally. Italian delis are especially likely to know how to get it. And you will save a LOT of money even if they mark it up a lot. Grocers can also get it but are less likely to cooperate. Try a smaller, health food grocery - maybe Whole Foods.
When you get some, I strongly encourage you to cut it into 1 kilo blocs and vacuum seal it. Done that way it can be frozen for up to a year or so. (though I am confident food purists would challenge that storage period.
Last time I ordered it I think the cost was about $60 for the curds and $50 for shipping. Given you live in the LA area you should have NO problems finding a source of cheese curd. I get mine through a WFO pizzaria.
Good Luck!
Re: where to buy polly-o cheese curds online
Jay thanks for the reply. I have a class training at Pizza Antica in may. Thanks for the post, you inspired me to finally get properly informed on how to make dough, pizza and fresh motz. I cant wait.
Re: where to buy polly-o cheese curds online
You could also make fresh mozz from scratch. Here is a great how-to site with a lot of cheese making info and recipes: Fankhauser's Cheese Page
The only real issue is that you can not use ultra-pasteurized milk.

Abia govt, opposition parties in war of words
Did the Abia State government alter the 2012 budget with a view to defrauding the people? Leaders of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) spoke with Correspondent UGOCHUKWU EKE on the controversy.
Budget is about figures. Experts have said that it is the outlay of government business for a given year.
In Abia State, like the other 35 states, Governor Theodore Orji has presented his budget proposal to the state House of Assembly. He intends to expend N122,390,433,920 for the 2012 fiscal year before the state House of Assembly before the end last year. This has, however, provoked virulent criticisms across the political divided.
Two political parties have described it as a bundle of fraud. The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Reagan Ufomba, said that when the two sides of the budget - the recurrent and capital expenditures - are added up, it throws up a different figure. He attributed the 'error' to an attempt to either defraud the state or that the budget planners do not know simple arithmetic.
The state Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) Cassidy Agbai, saw something wrong with the decision "to keep throwing back the issue of moribund industries that have either been sold or leased out". It smells of fraud, he said.
However, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Don Ubani, described the comments as the normal song people hear from those who lose elections.
Reacting to the contention that different figures came up when the capital and recurrent expenditures are added. Ubani said it was sheer human error and should not be attributed to intend to defraud the state.
Ufomba, however, explained: "The deficit budget of Transformation 2012 presented by the Abia State Government to the State Assembly recently, is to say the least, a jumble of conjectures and misplaced priorities which, therefore, remains unrealisable.
"The first noticeable lie in the budget is the disparity in the budgeted figures between capital and recurrent expenditures. If you add up their own figures in the budget you get N121.073 billion as against budgeted figure of N122 billion.
"Next in my line of question is the exact economic focus or policy of this government as it relates to investment? Do they have business being in business or not? Are they regulating or deregulating? Are they investing or divesting?
"It is a pity that instead of a reduction in recurrent expenditure, we saw an increase of over 24.8 per cent or over N11 billion. Don't forget that non-indigent workers serving in the state civil service had been weeded off, though unreasonably and unacceptably to me."
The APGA candidate also said: "They may have forgotten that the over 450 political appointees specially recruited for purposes of election are no longer in their pay-roll. This should automatically impact positively on over-head and personnel costs. Conspicuously missing in the budget was loan repayments. Especially, the N10 billion that was borrowed in the week of April governorship election.
"Our total projected income from Federation Account is N58 billion, and you spend N56 billion or 99 per cent on recurrent; how and where do you get the funding for all the capital projects in the budget? Even with the projected, unrealistic IGR of N22 billion, an increase of over 400 per cent from last year's figure, government cannot fund the budget as presented.
"I also wish to state unequivocally that most of the projects in the budget are either frivolous, valueless, unrealistic or unrealizable. What do we need a Heliport for instead of a cargo airport? Why not join forces with those pushing for an amendment of the NRC Act so that we can invest in railways and motorable roads?
"To my mind, the heliport is a selfish luxury which the people of Abia neither need nor can afford at this time. How can you revamp Golden Guinea Breweries, which is privately owned and government is not a majority shareholder? I also did not see appropriation for a repurchase of shares from investors in the budget if the plan is to take it over."
Similarly, Ufomba queried the plan to locate a cement company in Arodwukwu. He queried" "How can you build a cement plant in Arochukwu when licence has been issued to a private company by the Federal Government in whose care rests issues of all solid minerals? Is the government investing or divesting? The whole thing sounds more like a political campaign speech. A budget is supposed to be a clear, specific, unambiguous statement of projects, income and expenditure.
"If total projected income is about N80 to N100 billion why budget N122 billion? You can see that anything erected on this budget cannot stand."
Ufomba also took a critical look at the performance of the 2011 budget. In his view, "the performance of the 2011 budget, using their own figures, simple arithmetic shows that if a government budgets N105billion and spends N30billion, performance cannot be "over 60 per cent" as contained in the budget speech but less than 27 per cent. The budget did not disclose accurate figures of all that accrued to the state in 2011.
"Looking at the figures of income and expenditure, especially with the reduction of about 50 per cent in the projected subsidy income to the state, a jumble of misplaced priorities, inconsistent policies of government.
Agbai said that when a government keeps budgeting for moribund companies like the Golden Guinea Brewery and the Aba Textile Mill which have been either sold or leased out, it means that the government is not serious.
He said that the budget is fraud and a calculated attempt to defraud the state, stressing that the Golden Guinea Brewery which was budgeted for last year is still in this year's budget, while Abatex which has been sold to a private company is now being used as a drug warehouse.
The ANPP chairman said that the entire budget will never be realised as it has a lot of loopholes through which the government or its agents hope to defraud the people.
However, Ubani said that for the opposition parties to describe the Budget of Transformation as fraud shows that they have decided to live in the past or refused to be in tune with the realities of time.
Ubani noted that if there is arithmetic inaccuracy which is a human error, "any broad minded person should not label it fraud. He said, for any serious minded person to attribute it to fraud, one must know the intent of the act."
He said: "If one wants to write 7+5 which should give 12 and ended up writing 11, it is a typographical error, and therefore does not mean fraud, the opposition parties in the state should come to terms with the situation on ground as the state needs peace and equity".
He said that the budget is very clear as it is aimed at moving the state forward, adding that the state government is determined to revive the Golden Guinea despite what anybody or group of people may say.
The Commissioner noted that reviving the Brewery will attract a lot of benefits to the state, apart from its economic and social impact, pointing out that jobs will be created, crime rate will reduce and there will be increase in the internally generated revenue of the state and the local government councils involved.
Ubani explained that there are some issues surrounding the Brewery which the state governor, Theodore Orji is trying to resolve, which is why it keeps reoccurring in the state budget, adding that it shows that the state government has the interest of the people of the state at heart, "and there is no law that says that any government property that may have been sold which is recoverable should not be recovered".

Don't you think it's a good idea to work out roughly how many calories you think you may need and try to fill in those numbers with food instead of just eating whatever?
Such poor advice on this board. It's unreal.
I agree with you in general that it's important to eat the right things and the right amount. When it comes to most people however what they eat is really the least of the problems (if muscular weight gain is the goal), it's the fact that they don't train hard enough. And if they do train hard enough they've been taught to watch what they eat so they over think it and end up shafting themselves by not eating enough to facilitate weight gains.
My post was poorly thought out and presented, I should have but emphasis on the training part. It's just that this food hysteria is annoying me, when all it comes down to in most cases is just people don't lift heavy enough. Christ, I see people in both boxing and weight lifting gyms who end their work outs without a drop of sweat and then go make themselves a protein shake. It just ****es me off.

Thats 6'3" in real height, not match.com height
I am attracted to people who have a sense of humor, common sense, and the ability to communicate well. I treat people with respect and honesty (with occasional bluntness), and am not a very judgmental person. There are a lot of different people on here (and I like to think many great ones). It does take a little more though as timing is important when it takes multiple steps like attraction to a profile, connection in communicating, chemistry in person and both people being at the same point along those steps. No wonder these guys running this site are doing so well!! LA is certainly an interesting place for dating. But it gets old hearing about how its hard to find decent people in this town. The only thing I can control is my outlook and how I treat people, and hopefully the rest will follow. Some people think I am a catch (besides my parents), but then again sometimes people just say things to be nice. I wondered if I need to go on here and talk about more things but do women really read profiles?? :) Look forward to getting to know you better....

Life moves fast, and you can't just press "pause" to get the exact photo you want. Nor is it easy to find a lot of time to fix images after the fact. In this workshop author and expert Tim Grey shows you how to use Adobe Photoshop Elements to make a big impact on your digital photographs in a short time. After getting a quick overview of the Elements interface, learn how to fix problems with lighting, color, noise, and red eye. If you like, you can then move on to explore more advanced techniques like removing unwanted objects from an image, replacing the background, reducing depth of field, and more. This course teaches all the skills you need to create images with staying power.
As the name implies, the Elements Organizer is really focused on helping you organize your images. However, it's also possible to apply some basic adjustments to your images while you're still in the organizer without sending your images into the Elements Editor. Let's take a look at just how easy it is to apply these basic adjustments. I've selected an image here that I'd like to optimize just a little bit, it lacks contrast, and so I'd like to boost the contrast a little. The first thing I'm going to do is double click on the image, so that I can view it in a larger size, and this will make it easier to evaluate the results, for example.
Next, instead of working on the Organize tab up at the top right, I'm going to switch to the Fix tab. The Fix tab contains a variety of options, including options to edit the photo which would take the image over to the Elements Editor. But I have some very basic adjustments available with just the click of the mouse button. For example, in this case, the image could use a little contrast so I can click the Auto Contrast button and the image will be adjusted. And you can see in this case, I've gotten a much brighter, much more contrasty image, it looks much, much better than the original.
What's actually happened here is that the elements organizer has made a copy of the image so this adjustment was completely nondestructive. I'll go ahead and double-click on the image to get back to thumbnail view. You'll notice that it says Version Set with the thumbnail and then I have this button pointing to the right. If I click on that button, I can see all of the images in that Version Set. So I have my original untouched image, as well as a copy of the image that has the automatic adjustment applied.
So the Elements Organizer makes it remarkably easy to apply basic adjustments to my images. And the best part is, those adjustments are completely nondestructive. So if I ever decide that I need to get back to my original image, I can do that via the Version Set. Of course, in most cases, presumably the final version's going to be the best, and so you could just keep that Version Set collapsed so that you're only seeing the topmost image, in this case the adjusted image, which has much better contrast.

Photo gallery: Affordable Art Fair rings in the sales
Published on Nov 19, 2012 5:30 AM
The atmosphere at the Affordable Art Fair was bustling and crowded, with some booths being so busy that the owners barely had time to take a break. The fair is in its third edition in Singapore and has been steadily growing.
Some of the more popular works were Canadian artist Marie-Danielle Lablanc's paintings on cherry tree wood, which were sold as soon as they were on the walls, and the ceramic Doc Marts by Indonesian artist Purnomo.

EventEmitter logging. It's simple, extensible, and convenient.
eel is a logging "framework" that hopes to embody a few simple principles:
It accomplishes these goals by decoupling the logging of events from the writing of logs in the simplest way possible: using an EventEmitter
eel module exports a function that logs at the "info" level:
log = require('eel')
version = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(__dirname + '/package.json')).version
log("startup", {version: version})
To log at another level, use the
log[level] functions:
process.on('uncaughtException', function (err) {
log.error("uncaughtException", {err: err})
The default levels are debug, info, warning, error, and critical.
The first argument to any logging function should be an event type. While this can be any type of object, it's recommended to use dot-separated names. The second (optional) argument is an object. This object will have the log level, the event type, and a timestamp assigned to it before it is emitted. Which brings us to principle number 3...
In addition to the various logging methods, the
eel object also proxies all of
the node.js EventEmitter methods to an internal EventEmitter. In
fact, none of the above examples produce any output, because nothing is
listening to the events being emitted. To rectify this we can attach the
simplest possible logging backend to the 'entry' event:
log.on('entry', console.log)
Now our prepared log entry objects will be printed to the console:
log('blah', {relephant: 'data'})
/* prints
{ type: 'blah',
level: 'info',
relephant: 'data',
timestamp: '2012-05-31T23:49:01.523Z' }
Flesh out this document a lot more.

NCAA Football Betting: Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech Pick
- Updated: November 9, 2011
First place in the ACC Coastal Division and likely a bid in the ACC Championship Game will be handed out on Thursday night in NCAA football betting action, as the Virginia Tech Hokies travel to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Every single year, Head Coach Frank Beamer and company end up in the Top 15 or so in the country, and this year appears to be no exception. The team's only loss against the Clemson Tigers can be avenged if the two meet in the ACC Championship Game, a very likely scenario, and if that's the case, V-Tech will likely be favored to go to the BCS for a second straight season. Beamer Ball has ruled this year once again, though the special teams for the Hokies aren't as special as they usually are. That being said, the team still runs the ball incredibly well and plays rock solid defense. On the 'D', the team is averaging allowing just 298.3 yards per game and 15.4 points per game, ranking No. 12 and No. 6 in the nation respectively. RB David Wilson has 1,189 rushing yards and seven scores, and he is one of the three players on the team that has at least six touchdown totes on the campaign. The passing game is actually used nearly as much as the running game this year, but that's because QB Logan Thomas has two great receivers to work with in WR Danny Coale and WR Jarrett Boykin, which have 80 reception, 1,108 yards, and five TDs between them.
We knew that the season wasn't quite over for the Ramblin' Wreck when they went on their horrible stretch of games a few weeks ago that included losses to the Virginia Cavaliers and the Miami Hurricanes. Technically, G-Tech doesn't control its own destiny in the ACC, but we are all assuming that UVA will get beaten by the Hokies when those two meet, which would then, in turn, give the Jackets the edge in the conference title race once and for all. Though the team is throwing the ball a tad more this year, it's still all about the ground game and the triple option. A whopping seven players have at least 170 rushing yards on the year, three of which have at least 550 yards on the ground. QB Tevin Washington is leading the way with 636 yards and 10 TDs, but RB Orwin Smith has 553 yards and 10 scores as well. RB David Sims has 102 carries, tops for rushers on the team, and he has 564 yards and four TDs. In the passing game, do watch out for WR Stephen Hill, though. He has just 20 receptions on the year, but he is averaging an insane 30.4 yards per catch and has four trips to the end zone.
Virginia Tech Hokies @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Pick: Though Georgia Tech is a solid team, the way that you beat the triple option is with speed. It doesn't get much faster than the Hokies defense, a unit which should prevail when push comes to shove on Thursday night.

OpenSSH 5.2 Secured and Tuned
Even though the OpenSSH project emphasizes that the focus of 5.2 is bug fixes to the 5.1 version, 5.2 does contain some notable enhancements.
Security-wise the new OpenSSH version replaces cipher block chaining (CBC) mode as the default cipher order with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Counter (CTR) mode to remove the susceptibility to "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH." The software also adds other countermeasures to these attacks, as reported in CPNI Vulnerability Advisory SSH 957037. Last November it became clear that many versions of OpenSSH exposed up to 32 bits of plaintext ciphertext to attackers when the default CBC mode was in use. The solution in 5.2 was to read the maximum supported packet length instead of terminating the connection, thereby eliminating the leaks that allowed the plaintext recovery attacks.
Compared to OpenSSH 5.1, the updated version provides further command line options and minor functional enhancements. For example, the ssh -y option redirects logging to syslog and dynamic port forwarding was improved. The release changelog includes the list of fixed bugs.
OpenSSH emanates from the OpenBSD project, where a separate team focuses on OpenSSH's portability to different systems. The mirrors with the portable versions also include diffs against the OpenBSD source.

It's Radon Action Month in Pennsylvania. Bob Lewis is with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Lewis says Pennsylvania is prone to radon. He advises homeowners to buy a test kit at Home Depot or Lowe's.
"Put the test kit in the basement for two to four days. This an ideal time to do the testing, because the house is closed up. After two to four days it's sent back to a laboratory and in a week or two they will get the results. They can get in touch with us up here in Harrisburg to some interpretation for the results and see if they need to do anything further."
Lewis, a guest on the AM Edition this morning, says radon is a natural radioactive gas that is in the soil and rocks, and can cause lung cancer.
Prosecutors asked for a long prison term for 50 year old, Colleen LaRose, also know as Jihad Jane. But on Monday, a Federal Judge sentenced the Pennsburgh, Montgomery County woman to a 10 year prison term for providing material support to terrorists. LaRose admitted to an online plot to assassinate a Swedish cartoonist. The plot was never carried out. LaRose plead guilty in 2009. she has already served four years.
The Bucks County Commissioners are expected to soon vote on plans for the extensive renovation of the courthouse in Doylestown. Commissioner Chair, Rob Loughery says when the courts move to the new justice center, due to open later this year, the County wants to bring offices located around Bucks back into the Courthouse.
"We've got to do some renovations to that building and some upgrades. The building is 50 years old. It will help us improve on energy efficiencies."
Most of the work on the current courthouse will wait until the Justice Center opens its door.
The Chairman of the Montgomery County Commissioners says 2014 will be a busy year. Josh Shapiro told WNPV that investments in roads and parks are needed. He also says the county will expand social services opportunities.
"The Human Services Program, commonly referred to as the Navigate Program, where we've gotten our human services employees out in the community and poor communities around Montgomery County, the will expanding and growing."
Shapiro says the county plans to roll out a program to address veteran homelessness and a new economic development approach.

#1 is "The Thing"
Printable View
#1 is "The Thing"
I know these lists are made to court controversy, but "Cloverfield" at 12 and no mention of "The Omen", at least that I noticed?
There were also a few good black and white movies not mentioned, and the list would have been helped with the inclusion of a few campy seventies movies, such as "Burnt Offerings" with Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Burgess Meredith, Bette Davis, and One Creepy Chauffeur.
I'm disappointed Paranormal Activity wasn't on there
As resident horror aficionado, this is a pathetic list. Then to slide in a religious view [Jesus Camp] in the middle of it only further depletes any credibility it has as a list.
I give it three thumbs down.
Answer A:
Well the title is 50 scariest movies, so naturally its not going to be on that list.
Answer B:
I agree, the rest of this list was so crappy I don't know how they missed such an overhyped and not scary at all film like PA.
Bonus Answer C:
That movie was terrible.
I take my horror very seriously. :)
it's all intended in good fun though I assure.
Can somebody please explain to me the hype surrounding The Exorcist. Maybe it's because I'm not all that religious, but I found the movie to be more hilarious than scary.
When I was a kid Salem's Lot scared the crap out of me. Sleepaway Camp was cheesy, not real well made but the end of that movie scarred me for life. Nothing I have seen though equals the Reds start this year.
It was nice change of pace, but I still don't think it was a very good movie. To be honest, I found myself looking at my cell phone to see how long the movie had been on. Seemed like an eternity sitting there watching a slow building movie with very aggrivating camera use. I know it was suppose to be "actual footage" in appearance, but that really doesn't add to the creepy factor IMO. I don't pay to go see a movie because I want to feel like it is actual footage. There are plenty of those with just as impressive visual effects on YouTube.
I'm a fan of the Psychological horror. I want to feel the fear the characters are feeling. The best example of this is in the Silent Hill video games, especially the first two. If you like horror, I stronly suggest you give one of those games a try, especially Silent Hill 2. If they can make a movie with they same type of psychological toying that these games employ, I would absolutely love it. The Silent Hill movie certainly didn't accomplish this.
One movie I think every one should see is The Orphanage. It is subtitled as it was made in Spanish, but is still a great watch. I absolutely loved that movie.

Nikola Tesla. Shell Denies Allegations in Nigeria, Where an Exxon Valdez-sized Spill Occurs Annually. Image: Melange Despite a long history of blatant environmental and human rights abuses in Nigeria, Shell denied in a Dutch public hearing this week allegations of using "nontransparent, inconsistent and misleading figures" regarding the causes of oil leaked in the Niger Delta.The hearing was called by the Dutch Parliament's Economic Affairs Committee after Friends of the Earth and Amnesty International filed a complaint with Dutch officials.
Ian Craig, head of Shell Exploration & Production for Sub-Saharan Africa, told the hearing: "We do bear some responsibility, but we cannot bear it entirely. " John Ghazvinian, author of "Untapped: The Scramble for Africa's Oil," says, "In the last 50 years over all of the Nigerian oil industry roughly the equivalent of one Exxon Valdez oil spill has been spilt every year. " But Shell maintains that the majority—70 percent—of the oil spills are caused by sabotage, even though it also admitted the number of spills remains "unacceptably high.
" Wikileaks Reveals Shell Oil Has Agents Installed in Nigerian Government. Photo: zieak via Flickr/CC BY The US diplomatic cables revealed by Wikileaks have produced a wide swath of important information. From unflattering looks into the conduct of US policy, to revelations about the administration's blind eye towards environmental destruction, citizens have been provided with a rare behind the scenes glimpse of state power mechanics. One such revelation concerns the diplomatic grip that Shell Oil holds over the state of Nigeria -- it appears that the oil company has embedded itself deeply into every level of the corrupt, oppressive government.
As you're likely aware, Nigeria is one of the world's foremost bearers of the 'oil curse' -- wherein the nation or region that has the supposed benefit of vast oil reserves, ends up all the more impoverished because of it. The Guardian reports: And one has to suspect that those corporate staffers embedded at "every level" of the Nigerian government aren't likely voting to support the Nigerian poor. Breakthrough in quest to turn seaweed into biofuels. [SANTIAGO] Brown seaweed's potential as a vast source of biofuels has been highlighted with the announcement that scientists have found a way of converting all its major sugars into ethanol.
A team reported in Science today (19 January) that it has engineered a microbe that will convert the sugars to ethanol, overturning one of the main obstacles to making the use of brown macroalgae, or seaweed, as a biofuel feedstock competitive. The prospective ethanol yield from brown seaweed is approximately two times higher than that from sugarcane and five times higher than maize, from the same area of cultivation.
But its full potential cannot be reached because of the inability of industrial microbes to break down alginate, one of the three most abundant sugars in brown seaweed, commonly known as kelp, which is the most widely grown seaweed in the world. As a result, the scientists were able to get a yield of bioethanol directly from seaweed equivalent to 15,000-20,000 litres per hectare per year. Energy Recovery Council. Waste to Energy.

Available to Reserve Online 24/7
Luxury Cabin with Incredible Long Range Views! Close to Valle Crucis, Boone, Banner Elk, Hawksnest Tubing and Zipline Grandfather Mountain!
Valle Crucis Overlook is a wonderful 3BR luxury cabin. Built in 2010, the cabin is centrally located with a short drive to Valle Crucis, Boone, Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountain or Banner Elk. The house has an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and high windows in the main living area. The living room has exposed timbers, a stacked stone fireplace with gas logs for cozy winter days and a 60 inch mounted flat screen TV. There is a spacious back deck with huge views from the Boone area all the way to Tennessee, a gas grill, dining table and two rustic rocking chairs. The view looks out over Valle Crucis across the Boone area to the Rich Mountain Range which begins with Howards Knob in Boone and runs northwest into Tennessee. In summer, this view is rich and verdant and in winter, the peaks are usually snow covered.
The living room is comfortably arranged with plenty of seating and opens to the dining and kitchen areas with a half bath in the main hall. The delightful kitchen has granite counters and stainless appliances including a dishwasher and is thoroughly stocked by the owners for almost any conceivable cooking activity by their guests. The living room looks out onto the covered front porch with a swing for lazy days in summer. The location is private near the end of a non-thru street.
The King master suite, which has a wonderful view, is on the main floor with flat screen TV. The master bath has double sinks, granite counters and slate shower. Stairs from the living room go up to a cozy loft. A second Queen bedroom upstairs has a TV with Direct TV. The third bedroom has bunk beds with a double bed on the bottom and twin size mattress on the top bunk. This bedroom has a flat screen television with a DVD player and Xbox Kinect. The upstairs bedrooms share a full bathroom with tub/shower combination.
There is high speed wifi throughout the property and a Direct TV satellite package to enjoy on 3 flat screen TV's. The home has central forced air conditioning for those rare days when A/C is needed here in the mountains. And there is a washer and dryer on the main level and many other touches provided by the owners for the comfort of their guests.
*** Access to Valle Crucis Overlook includes 1 1/2 miles of remote, mountainous gravel road. Four wheel drive with chains is necessary if visiting during winter weather.
***** There is a walk up natural landscaped steps from the parking area to the house entry. There is no hand rail. Access is fine for sure-footed individuals. But can be precarious if one is only comfortable with urban-style access. *****

Spacious deck with seating to enjoy the views

VC (Valle Crucis) is for mountain lovers. I am a mountain lover who was looking for a quiet, serene space. I found it here at Valle Crucis Overlook. What a blessing to have spent an entire week here. I didn't want or need to go anywhere. From sunning on the back deck, to reading on the front porch swing while it rained, to grilling while listening to my favorite tunes on your surround sound, mmmmm..... My sincerest thanks for your willingness to share your mountain retreat. Rustic, cozy, luxurious - please don't add a thing. God provided the view, it's beyond spectacular. I am refreshed, energized and more grateful than words. Many thanks and God bless.

Cost effectiveness of alternative screening strategies for identifying people at high risk of cardiovascular disease
- Department of Public Health and Health Policy, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK
There is strong policy interest across the UK in identifying people at high risk of developing premature cardiovascular disease (CVD; ⩾20% risk over 10 years) in an effort to offer preventative interventions. In 2009, England introduced a mass screening and referral programme; while Scotland is evaluating a pilot programme which targets deprived communities. Here we examine the coverage, efficiency and cost effectiveness of alternative screening strategies.
We compared five screening strategies to detect those at high risk of premature …

Guide to Doing Business in India
India is a story of growth and opportunity. India's sustained growth of around 8.0% in 2009-10 and growing dynamism in several of its regional markets have created wide and diverse business prospects for U.S. exporters and investors. With 2011 growth estimates hovering at around 8.6%, India remains one of the fastest growing, dynamic economies in the world.
The current economic downturn has not affected India to the same extent as the United States, though most Indian companies remain apprehensive and are extremely cautious with large expenditures. Worldwide economic difficulties notwithstanding, U.S. multinationals are sold on India and are expanding and deepening their market penetration. U.S. firms with advanced and niche-market products and services are entering the market for the first time, or are replacing legacy distributors appointed in the slow-growth past with more capable and aggressive representatives.
Many smaller American firms have begun to view India as a top anchor market for their products and services as well. The marked rise of U.S. exports to India, the daily business press announcements, the rapidly expanding demand for Commercial Service India matchmaking programs and due diligence services, and the many business development trade missions visiting India all point to India being open for business.
Customers Demand Green
Green dry cleaners, Green energy. Green puppy food. Green car washes. Green wall paints. Green grease removal.
Green: it's everywhere. It's taught in the first grade. It's at the center of many corporate manufacturing and marketing policies. And whether you believe in climate change or still have doubts, consumers are now demanding GREEN.
Adopting environmentally friendly and energy efficient business practices provides numerous benefits to new and existing small business owners looking to control costs, attract customers and become socially responsible. Non-toxic, recycled, organic, energy efficient, reused, eco-friendly, farm-to-table: these terms, and others, all help define the fast-growing green market.
So what can you do as a small business? Remember, that regardless of what options you choose, each one of them should and must be connected to your marketing strategy and company messaging. If you adopt energy efficiency practices, let your customers know; if you are committed to local agriculture, let them know, and if your product contains recycled by-products, let them know. Four out of five consumers say they are still buying environmentally friendly products and services today – which sometimes cost more – even in the midst of a recovering economy.
The Value of a Marketing Plan
"Before beginning, plan carefully."
The philosophy of the great Roman Orator Cicero is just as appropriate in today's small business environment as it was in the political arena of the Roman Empire. A sound and well thought-out marketing plan is an essential part of a firm's ability to compete in today's marketplace. In spite of this, many small businesses take a disorganized or haphazard approach to their marketing efforts and, as a result, fail to capitalize on opportunities to sell more of their products and services.
Why do so many take this half-hearted approach? Many believe it stems from the nature of the entrepreneur, who thrives on action and being intrinsically involved in the day-to-day operations of the business. Planning is seen as a non-active effort and therefore does not provide the same stimulus as being involved in producing and selling a product and/or service.
The process of creating a marketing plan involves three steps:
An analysis of the firm's internal and external environments;
A decision on a "Unique Selling Point" to emphasize and project; and
The selection of action plans (both paid and unpaid) to reach the targeted customer base.
Size Standards: Additional firms become eligible for SBA programs
The U.S. Small Business Administration published a final rule in The Federal Register that will increase some of the size definitions of small businesses in Professional, Scientific and Technical Services and Other Services sectors.
The final rule will increase 37 of the revenue-based size standards in 34 industries and three sub-industries in the "Professional, Scientific and Technical Services" sector. It will also increase one size standard in the "Other Services" sector.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Semyon Varlamov made 37 saves and Brad Malone got the go-ahead goal with 11:33 left in the third, leading the Colorado Avalanche to a 2-1 preseason victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night.
Kyle Palmieri tied it 57 seconds into the third on a breakaway goal set up by defenseman Francois Beauchemin, who played his first game since reconstructive surgery on his right knee.
Hiller finished with 23 saves.
Varlamov had a league-worst 21 losses and a 3.02 goals-against average for Colorado during the lockout shortened 48-game schedule in 2012-13.

SF-based DoubleTwist, the DRM-fighting startup from famed hacker "DVD" Jon Lech Johanson, has raised funding from Skype-backer Index Ventures and Norway's NorthZone Ventures, reports FT. After an unfulfilled partnership with fellow traveler Michael Robertson, Johanson launched DoubleTwist in 2006, with the goal of letting third parties understand Apple's (NSDQ: AAPL) DRM, essentially rendering it useless (though technically not breaking it). Now it sounds like his company is engaged in more garden variety DRM busting, allowing users to convert bought iTunes tracks into unprotected file formats. It's also launching its obligatory Facebook app for file sharing. While various anti-DRM apps have been available for some time, the company is aiming to reach a mass, non-technical audience. That being said, with more and more online retailers selling DRM-free MP3s, the market for this service may be dwindling.
Crave: The new desktop app allows any kind of music, photo, or video file to be shared between a long list of portable media players, and through social networks…The software automatically re-records song files as MP3 files so they can be transferred to any device. It only does this for songs you own or are authorized to play in iTunes.
For now, the devices supported include Sony (NYSE: SNE) PSP, Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) N-series phones, Sony Ericsson's (NSDQ: ERIC) Walkman and Cybershop lines, LG's (SEO: 066570) Viewty, and Microsoft's (NSDQ: MSFT) Windows Mobile smartphones such as Palm's (NSDQ: PALM) Treo and HTC models, reports AP.

Simon Cowell's Helping Haiti single has rushed straight to the top of the download charts in the UK, the day after its release (08.02.10).
Simon Cowell's Helping Haiti single has already topped the download charts in the UK.
The release - a cover of R.E.M's 'Everybody Hurts' featuring Rod Stewart, Cheryl Cole, Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue, and a host of other stars - went on sale yesterday (08.02.10) and is almost certain to top the official UK top 40 chart on Sunday (14.02.10).
Leona Lewis, who sings the first lines of the single, said: "I'm so proud to be involved. I found recording it quite upsetting, but I feel very hopeful about the good it will bring and hope that people get behind it and support it."
Retailers selling the single are donating all profits to help relief work in Haiti, where two earthquakes hit in January, leaving an estimated 200,000 people dead.
R.E.M. have also agreed to waive writing royalties on the track and the UK government has agreed not to charge Value Added Tax (VAT) on the release.
Gennaro Castaldo, spokesperson for retailer HMV, said: "'Everybody Hurts' could well dominate the charts over the next few weeks and looks set to be one of the biggest releases of the past decade.
"It was also our most downloaded track of the day but people should not assume the song will get itself to number one. We must all go out and buy a copy - or lots of copies."
The current biggest selling single of the last ten years was Will Young's debut 'Evergreen' which sold 1.8 million copies, according to the UK Official Charts Company.
British 'X Factor' winner Joe McElderry has also urged the public to get behind the song.
He said: "I really do hope though that it will help lots of people in Haiti. Please, please, please buy a copy. It's for a great cause and we all need to help Haiti as much as we can."

L'Essence de Cerutti by Cerruti
A spicy, tangy top starts things off. As usual that stuff fades quick however the spice still takes hold into the heart notes which is mixed with leather and woods and is rounded off at the bottom with a musky base. It's light, yet has a deep feel to it, almost sensual. I really like it.

Recipe by Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®
"This classic, delicious snack has been making memories for kids and parents alike for generations."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons
margarine or butter
1 (10 ounce) package
regular marshmallows
6 cups
Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal
As written I give this a four. I have tried it this way and we just prefer the recipe I have from the 60s or 70s. My daughter's friends at college go crazy over that earlier version. It uses 4 Tablespoons of butter, 1(10 oz) bag of marshmallows and 5 cups of rice crispies. This recipe is more marshmallowy and not so dry.
What am I doing wrong? Am I the only one who can't make rice krispies? Mine turned out extremely soggy...
145 Ratings
I make this recipe every year at Halloween for 300 people, so I've learned how to make them fast! Don't hesitate to use the microwave version - you'll never go back to the old way again. Other cereal favorites include cocoa krispies and "fruity pebbles" (generics are equally good). My super-secret tip: Pour the melted mix over the cereal (in a huge plastic mixing bowl) and not the other way - the cereal dust coats the plastic bowl and prevents the marshmallow (and everything else) from sticking to the bowl.
Great ideas for add-ins everyone! I'll try the peanut butter this year!
this recipe is great.. but i usually add 2ml of vanilla to the recipe... if you use diet/light margarine, it turns out soggy and tends to be extra sticky(not in a good way)... and i noticed some margarines do the same, so stick to butter to be on the safe side... also... use the microwave method... ever since i've tried the microwave method, i never went back to the stove top... it's quicker and it's not as messy... but when microwaving-- first, put in the the butter until it melts (approx. 30 sec) then coat the marshmallows in the butter and microwave until it looks ALMOST completely melted (approx 1-1.5 mins) then stir until the marshmallows are completely melted. then add the vanilla, stir again, and then toss in the cereal... if you don't want it as gooey, add another cup of cereal... enjoy!!! =)
I noticed everyone putting their suggestions on how to flatten the mix into the pan - my tried and true way -I butter my hands...just like putting on lotion and flatten it with my hands...works like a charm EVERY time. Makes a classic treat even easier to make!
Came out GREAT! I used butter and a little orange food coloring. I buttered up my hands, shaped them into carrots and stuck a green piece of sour licorice onto the end for a stem. We served them at my son's kindergarten Petter Rabbit play. They were an absolute hit! Not a single one was left.
So good! I always double this by using a whole box (12.5 oz) of Rice Krispies, 16oz mini marshmallow, 1 stick of butter, and I put it all into one since 9x13 pan for extra thick treats. I pack in and smooth out treats by pressing into pan with a piece of wax paper. So easy and neat.
I learned from a friend of mine to stir in peanut butter chips at the last. Oh, boy. Is that HEAVEN!

"I very much miss Circuit City. I have loyally shopped there for years. Their prices were the best, their customer service was great. ... What a shame they couldn't make it."

The nearest store was just down the freeway from us, and we made our purchase shortly before it was announced they were going out of business. Had we known, we would have gone elsewhere."
- Monica Morton, Universal City, Texas
Retailer Mervyn's filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2008 and closed its more than 100 stores by the end of the year. Founded in 1949, the Mervyn's stores were largely located in California, Texas, Arizona and other Western states. The Mervyn's name may not be gone for good. The sons of the chain's founder reportedly plan to open an online version of the store.
"I loved Mervyn's and will miss this store greatly. ... From gift cards and shoes [for myself and my daughter] to jewelry, it was once a wonderful store with a good selection. It's difficult to pass by the empty building, now on my way to Target."
- Lynn Nelson, La Mirada, Calif.
"For almost 10 years, I worked for the Hayward, CA department store chain, Mervyn's. I started during my senior year in high school and continued to work throughout my college career. It was a wonderful store, and the entire staff was an extended family, by having picnics, holiday parties, and such. I was sad to see Mervyn's go out of business."
- John, Alexandria, Va.
"As a child, one of my favorite places to visit was Mervyn's. My mom would take the kids to shop for back-to-school clothes and we loved it because Mervyn's had the best clothes in the latest styles. Besides Miller's Outpost, Mervyn's was the place to buy your Levi's 501s. Back then Mervyn's had a toy section, too, and we'd always finish out the trip with a stop at the toy department. When I saw that Mervyn's was shutting their doors it made me realize that I wouldn't be able to share in those memories with my kids."

Discount clothing retailer Steve & Barry's was in business for just a decade when it filed for bankruptcy last year. The company, which was home to actress Sarah Jessica Parker's "Bitten" fashion label, operated some 175 stores but ultimately closed them all.
"My family and I really miss Steve & Barry's. My daughter just graduated college and we bought her college logo t-shirts there for much less than the college bookstore charged. ... My son is heading to college this fall and now we don't have that option. Their stuff may not have been the best quality but it was certainly no worse than Walmart and it lasted long enough for us and the price could not be beat. And it wasn't just college stuff they carried. My daughter loved their Serena Williams shoes. In fact, my wife, daughter and son all bought stuff there. At $10 or less per item you just could not go wrong."
- Bill Rubin, Yorktown Heights, N.Y.
"I will definitely miss Steve & Barry's the most since it is the only business that I shopped at that has closed. They had great, stylish clothes for very reasonable prices. Not being a person that is stuck on name brands, Steve & Barry's fit perfectly for me and my family."
- Chad Streit, Cedar Rapids, Iowa

FEATURES. FAST RESPONSE. The torque of H series electromagnetic hysteresis clutches and brakes is independent of slip speed. Torque is directly proportionate to coil current, thus the torque of each unit can be adjusted by varying the current. Once the current is stable, the torque remains constant. [See More]
