The Patriots face their toughest test so far this season when the Knights of Stratford roll into town Friday.
Fort Dorchester was strong in a 62-14 win over Carolina Forest in its season opener and a 35-14 win at Cane Bay last week. The Patriots had more than 1,000 yards of offense in those games.
But this week the team faces a Stratford team coming off its best season since 2006 and showing no sign of slowing down. The Knights rolled to a 29-10 victory over Berkeley in Week 1 and to a 42-28 win at Sumter last week.
"They are a good football program," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "Their quarterback is good and I'm sure they have some other weapons. They always have someone who can run the ball. They are also strong on defense. They are a well-balanced ball club so we know we will have to play a little bit better this week."
Stratford's Jacob Park, a UGA commit, is regarded by many as the best quarterback in the state. Park has already thrown for more than 550 yards and six touchdowns this season.
He is just one part of a senior class that has been looked upon for a number of years as one that could get Stratford back where it used to be. There are a lot of playmakers in that 20-man senior class.
The Knights only returned one starter from last year's offensive line, but that hasn't stopped Park from getting good protection so far. The QB has connected with multiple targets this year.
Last week alone, Stratford had three receivers finish with more than 75 receiving yards. Jordan Johnson and Thad Thompson had nearly 100 yards each and accounted for four touchdowns against Sumter.
Johnson was used mostly as an inside receiver last year, but is lining up more as a running back this year and has done well there.
The Knights also only returned one defensive lineman, but the rest of the Stratford defense has considerable experience.
Senior defensive backs Taylor Morrison and Sheldon Reid combined for 17 interceptions last season.
The Knights also have three starting linebackers returning from the 2012 campaign,
Cecil Smith, T.J. Deveaux and Michael Simmons. Last week they teamed up with defensive end Joe Cook to account for 6.5 sacks.
Against Fort Dorchester last year, Park completed 9 passes for 267 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the Knights to a 28-21 victory. The QB and Johnson both rushed for a TD in the game.
However, Fort Dorchester is a more experienced team this season and has shown promise on both sides of the ball. The Patriots' junior class is highly touted and the team has several seniors with talent.
At Cane Bay last week, the Fort rushed for more than 200 yards and passed for more than 200 yards. Senior QB Kobe Garrett completed 12 of 16 pass attempts including four TD passes. Six different Patriots had a reception in the game.
Garrett, seniors Matt Murray and Nahshon Cyrus and sophomore Datron James give the Patriots several options on the ground. James had more than 250 rushing yards just in the Patriots' season opener and both Murray and Cyrus have nearly 250 yards for the season.
On defense, the Fort has size and experience at the first two levels but lacks experience in the secondary. The Patriots' defensive backs have held up well so far, but Park will surely be gunning for them.
Of course, the Patriot front seven will have their sights set on the Stratford QB. How successful they are at pressuring Park could determine who gets the upper hand in this game.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Bagwell Stadium.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPKaraK Sweet, sexy, girly thongs for the FP lady! WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS MY JOY FOR THESE AMAZING UNDIES! I am absolutely head over heels for the FP undies These are so well made and so beautiful. I am not a fan of many mall store undie shops. Usually the lace is icky and not very nice. These are so amazing I am so happy FP is carrying more intimates. These are such a beautiful lace pattern and the lace is super soft. I really love the trim too. These FLEW off the shelves when they came in. I purchased almost every color! The colors are very unique and not your typical "undie" colors. They are very vibrant and beautiful in person. I really hope the thong version of these come in the same colors as the Hipsters! I would love it if they came in the matching colorways. I hope they make some more "fall" colors. I normally wear an XS/25/0. I have a bit of a booty and I don't like muffin lines so I got these in a size small and they fit great. 9.7.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by randalynn Do not wash well As beautiful as these undies are, they wash terribly. I agree that the colors are fantastic, they are super comfy, and the lace detail is lovely. I own at least 7 pairs, but sadly they fall apart when you wash them. Elastic starts breaking and little elastic whiskers start poking out all over your undies, which is not cute at all. These will not last long as holes start appearing where the elastic has broken. Total bummer. 4.4.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by travelingbird Lovely, but recommend sizing down Terrific thong; the lace and flowers are so pretty and delicate and it looks great on. It seems to run a little large though so you might want to size down. 7.15.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Hayles not the best I purchased a pair in my normal size small but they're just too big. They sit high on my hips, like an 80s bikini bottom. Also, the little lacey frill along the edge does not lay flat, it sticks out like a little fin. Maybe that's also because they're too big or because I didn't hand wash them. Just make sure you're getting the correct size! 9.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Karah So pretty! I want one in each color! I'm not usually a thong wearer but it's really comfortable, fits perfectly, looks super feminine and I love the flower detail in the lace. 12.4.2012

- An Integrated Architecture for Shallow and Deep Processing (2002)
- We present an architecture for the integration of shallow and deep NLP components which is aimed at flexible combination of different language technologies for a range of practical current and future applications. In particular, we describe the integration of a high-level HPSG parsing system with different high-performance shallow components, ranging from named entity recognition to chunk parsing and shallow clause recognition. The NLP components enrich a representation of natural language text with layers of new XML meta-information using a single shared data structure, called the text chart. We describe details of the integration methods, and show how information extraction and language checking applications for realworld German text benefit from a deep grammatical analysis.
- An HSPG-to-CFG Approximation of Japanese (2000)
- We present a simple approximation method for turning a Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar into a context-free grammar. The approximation method can be seen as the construction of the least fixpoint of a certain monotonic function. We discuss an experiment with a large HPSG for Japanese.

To her younger self
Your deep Mahogany skin may not resemble that of the others in your family, but it's just as gorgeous and you're just as worthy….One day you'll appreciate how much your brown skin shines in the moonlight, glistens in the sun and ages ever so slowly.
On her self-worth and true love
Don't let that pesky low self-esteem creep in and fool you into believing that you don't have value…don't allow it to crush your will or dampen your spirit…Never worry about LOVE….real love will find you….an incredible love with an incredible man….there is a beautiful rainbow at the end of your storm.
Don't let other people's needs, wants, desires, fantasies, hopes or dreams dictate your choices and decisions. Follow your own path, and don't worry that you're being selfish or disloyal.

Just one week after AT&T said it would be the exclusive carrier of the Nokia Lumia 920, T-Mobile announced Monday that the Bellevue-based company will exclusively offer the Nokia Lumia 810.
T-Mobile said that the new Windows Phone 8 smartphone will be available in the coming weeks, presumably after Microsoft releases Windows 8 on Oct. 29. Pricing has yet to be announced.
The Lumia 810 has a 4.3-inch OLED display and two cameras: an 8-megapixel camera that shoots HD video and a Skype-certified 1.2-megapixel camera up front. It also features Nokia Music, an ad-free music player, and touts enhanced navigation features like Nokia City Lens and Nokia Drive.
Nokia, HTC and Samsung have now all announced Windows Phone 8 devices. They must be hoping that Windows 8 helps Microsoft be more competitive in the smartphone race — the most recent numbers show otherwise.

If you have or make a holder to take round shanked tools, an old two flute end mill makes a dandy boring bar. Just grind back one side for clearance, then set the other side level. The cutter geometry is way better than those nasty Chinese brazed-carbide boring bars.
Looks like your triangular cutter did fine, though.

/ ISO TAG for Quality Management and Quality Assurance
International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 176
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO;
) is a network of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies) that develops and publishes voluntary international standards. Through their ISO membership, these national standards bodies collaborate through a global consensus process to develop international standards that ensure products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. The ISO 9000 series of standards are among the most notable of these international standards. The aim of the ISO 9000 standards is to address various aspects of quality management. The standards provide guidance and tools to companies and organizations who want to ensure products and services consistently achieve customers requirements and confidence and that quality is consistently improved.
The United States has input into this development process through membership in ISO via the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This input is channeled through a Technical Advisory Group (TAG). The American Society for Quality (ASQ) administers, on behalf of ANSI, the U.S. TAG to the ISO Technical Committee 176 (ISO/TC176). Qualified U.S. experts participate in the meetings where these documents are drafted. ISO/TC176 was formed in 1979 to harmonize the increasing international activity in quality management and quality assurance standards. The development of the ISO 9000 series standards was the result of this international harmonization process fostered by ISO/TC176.
The LPS Program has been appointed to the U.S. TAG to ISO/TC176 to represent the interests of the U.S. agricultural industry in the development of international quality management and assurance standards.
The LPS Program also is continuing its investment in ISO 9000 training of its employees, most specifically in RABQSA-Certified ISO 9001 Lead Auditor Training, to ensure its capability to provide comprehensive audit procedures and technical assistance to U.S. companies that wish to incorporate ISO 9000 quality system management and assurance into their manufacturing processes.

- Overcoming Bcr-Abl T315I mutation by combination of GNF-2 and ATP competitors in an Abl-independent mechanism (2012)
- ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Philadelphia positive leukemias are characterized by the presence of Bcr-Abl fusion protein which exhibits an abnormal kinase activity. Selective Abl kinase inhibitors have been successfully established for the treatment of Ph (+) leukemias. Despite high rates of clinical response, Ph (+) patients can develop resistance against these kinase inhibitors mainly due to point mutations within the Abl protein. Of special interest is the 'gatekeeper' T315I mutation, which confers complete resistance to Abl kinase inhibitors. Recently, GNF-2, Abl allosteric kinase inhibitor, was demonstrated to possess cellular activity against Bcr-Abl transformed cells. Similarly to Abl kinase inhibitors (AKIs), GNF-2 failed to inhibit activity of mutated Bcr-Abl carrying the T315I mutation. METHODS: Ba/F3 cells harboring native or T315I mutated Bcr-Abl constructs were treated with GNF-2 and AKIs. We monitored the effect of GNF-2 with AKIs on the proliferation and clonigenicity of the different Ba/F3 cells. In addition, we monitored the auto-phosphorylation activity of Bcr-Abl and JAK2 in cells treated with GNF-2 and AKIs. RESULTS: In this study, we report a cooperation between AKIs and GNF-2 in inhibiting proliferation and clonigenicity of Ba/F3 cells carrying T315I mutated Bcr-Abl. Interestingly, cooperation was most evident between Dasatinib and GNF-2. Furthermore, we showed that GNF-2 was moderately active in inhibiting the activity of JAK2 kinase, and presence of AKIs augmented GNF-2 activity. CONCLUSIONS: Our data illustrated the ability of allosteric inhibitors such as GNF-2 to cooperate with AKIs to overcome T315I mutation by Bcr-Abl-independent mechanisms, providing a possibility of enhancing AKIs efficacy and overcoming resistance in Ph+ leukemia cells.
- p185(BCR/ABL) has a lower sensitivity than p210(BCR/ABL) to the allosteric inhibitor GNF-2 in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia (2011)
- BACKGROUND: The t(9;22) translocation leads to the formation of the chimeric breakpoint cluster region/c-abl oncogene 1 (BCR/ABL) fusion gene on der22, the Philadelphia chromosome. The p185(BCR/ABL) or the p210(BCR/ABL) fusion proteins are encoded as a result of the translocation, depending on whether a "minor" or "major" breakpoint occurs, respectively. Both p185(BCR/ABL) and p210(BCR/ABL) exhibit constitutively activated ABL kinase activity. Through fusion to BCR the ABL kinase in p185(BCR/ABL) and p210(BCR/ABL) "escapes" the auto-inhibition mechanisms of c-ABL, such as allosteric inhibition. A novel class of compounds including GNF-2 restores allosteric inhibition of the kinase activity and the transformation potential of BCR/ABL. Here we investigated whether there are differences between p185(BCR/ABL) and p210(BCR/ABL) regarding their sensitivity towards allosteric inhibition by GNF-2 in models of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia. DESIGN AND METHODS: We investigated the anti-proliferative activity of GNF-2 in different Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia models, such as cell lines, patient-derived long-term cultures and factor-dependent lymphatic Ba/F3 cells expressing either p185(BCR/ABL) or p210(BCR/ABL) and their resistance mutants. RESULTS: The inhibitory effects of GNF-2 differed constantly between p185(BCR/ABL) and p210(BCR/ABL) expressing cells. In all three Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia models, p210(BCR/ABL)-transformed cells were more sensitive to GNF-2 than were p185BCR/ABL-positive cells. Similar results were obtained for p185(BCR/ABL) and the p210(BCR/ABL) harboring resistance mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Our data provide the first evidence of a differential response of p185(BCR/ABL)- and p210(BCR/ABL)- transformed cells to allosteric inhibition by GNF-2, which is of importance for the treatment of patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphatic leukemia.
- Allosteric inhibition enhances the efficacy of ABL kinase inhibitors to target unmutated BCR-ABL and BCR-ABL-T315I (2012)
- Background: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphatic leukemia (Ph + ALL) are caused by the t(9;22), which fuses BCR to ABL resulting in deregulated ABL-tyrosine kinase activity. The constitutively activated BCR/ABL-kinase "escapes" the auto-inhibition mechanisms of c-ABL, such as allosteric inhibition. The ABL-kinase inhibitors (AKIs) Imatinib, Nilotinib or Dasatinib, which target the ATP-binding site, are effective in Ph + leukemia. Another molecular therapy approach targeting BCR/ABL restores allosteric inhibition. Given the fact that all AKIs fail to inhibit BCR/ABL harboring the 'gatekeeper' mutation T315I, we investigated the effects of AKIs in combination with the allosteric inhibitor GNF2 in Ph + leukemia. Methods: The efficacy of this approach on the leukemogenic potential of BCR/ABL was studied in Ba/F3 cells, primary murine bone marrow cells, and untransformed Rat-1 fibroblasts expressing BCR/ABL or BCR/ABL-T315I as well as in patient-derived long-term cultures (PDLTC) from Ph + ALL-patients. Results: Here, we show that GNF-2 increased the effects of AKIs on unmutated BCR/ABL. Interestingly, the combination of Dasatinib and GNF-2 overcame resistance of BCR/ABL-T315I in all models used in a synergistic manner. Conclusions: Our observations establish a new approach for the molecular targeting of BCR/ABL and its resistant mutants using a combination of AKIs and allosteric inhibitors.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republicans controlling the House moved Monday to give the Pentagon more money for military readiness while easing the pain felt by such agencies as the FBI and the Border Patrol from the across-the-board spending cuts that are just starting to take effect.
The effort is part of a huge spending measure that would fund day-to-day federal operations through September – and head off a potential government shutdown later this month.
The measure would leave in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered by President Barack Obama Friday night, after months of battling with Republicans over the budget. But, the House Republicans' legislation would award the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments their detailed 2013 budgets while other agencies would be frozen at 2012 levels – and then bear the across-the-board cuts.
The impact of the new cuts was proving slow to reach the broader public as Obama convened the first Cabinet meeting of his second term to discuss next steps.
The Pentagon did say it would furlough thousands of military school teachers around the world and close commissaries an extra day each week. And Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the spending cuts were causing delays in customs lines at airports including Los Angeles International and O'Hare International in Chicago.
Obama said he was continuing to seek out Republican partners to reach a deal to ease or head off the cuts, but there was no sign that a breakthrough was in the works to reverse them.
The new GOP funding measure is set to advance through the House today. It's aimed at preventing a government shutdown when a six-month spending bill passed last September runs out March 27.
The latest measure would provide an increase for military operations and maintenance efforts as well as veterans' health programs but would put most the rest of the government on budget autopilot.
After accounting for the across-the-board cuts, domestic agencies would face reductions exceeding 5 percent when compared with last year. But Republicans would carve out a host of exemptions seeking to protect certain functions, including federal prisons and fire-fighting efforts in the West, and to provide new funding for embassy security and modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The FBI and the Border Patrol would be able to maintain current staffing levels and would not have to furlough employees.
The legislation would provide about $2 billion more than the current level to increase security at U.S. embassies and diplomatic missions worldwide. Last September, a terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
A project to repair the Capitol Dome in Washington could stay on track, and NASA would be protected from the harshest effects of the automatic cuts, known in Washington as a sequester.
The across-the-board cuts would carve $85 billion in spending from the government's $3.6 trillion budget for this year, concentrating the cuts in the approximately $1 trillion allocated to the day-to-day agency operating budgets set by Congress each year. Those so-called discretionary accounts received big boosts in the first two years of Obama's presidency when Democrats controlled Congress but have borne the brunt of the cuts approved as Obama and Republicans have grappled over the budget.
Both Democrats and Republicans for months have warned the cuts are draconian and would slow the growth of the economy and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, for instance, says they would slow the economy by 0.6 percent and cost about 750,000 jobs.
Obama presided Monday over the first meeting of his new-look Cabinet in a sobering climate of fiscal belt-tightening, urging humane management of spending cuts for communities and families that are "going to be hurting."
"We can manage through it," the president told reporters. Obama and members of his Cabinet had been warning for weeks that the cuts would be painful, but the fact is they will be slow to take effect, with the first furloughs of government workers not due until next month. Cuts to many programs may go unnoticed entirely.
The White House budget office's 83-page sequestration order was released Friday evening, detailing the cuts to more than 1,000 separate government accounts, big and small. Cuts of 7.8 percent that are set to strike defense accounts include $5.2 billion for construction at Army bases. Other accounts are far smaller, like $32 million to operate and maintain the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Each agency is supposed to apportion the cuts equally to each "program, project and activity" within the broader accounts, which gives agency heads some flexibility since it's up to them to define what that means. And it's not clear what recourse others would have if they disagreed with an agency's choices.
"That leaves it pretty much to the administrators in the agency in which that account falls to determine how he's planning on applying it," said G. William Hoagland, a budget expert with the Bipartisan Policy Center. "I don't know that anybody's going to be held accountable if some administrator defines a project the way he wants to define it."

Fourteen miles north of the Ravenel Bridge lies Bulls Bay Golf Club, an idyllic oasis from the hustle and bustle of Mount Pleasant traffic. A private club designed by Mike Strantz, the property the course sits on is sculpted so that very diverse appearances are presented, yet each blends smoothly into the next.
It all starts at the front gates, adorned with large steel plates cut in the shape of a bull's skull.
Entering the grounds, you are first confronted by a large hill leading up to a ranch-style clubhouse.
The hill was created with more than two million cubic yards of soil obtained from the excavation of several lakes that adorn the property, and might well be the highest point on the east coast between North Carolina and Florida.
Arriving at the clubhouse, vistas across Bulls Bay and Copahee Sound of the barrier islands dominate the skyline while the course itself lays open at your feet.
The panoramic views are enticing, and what better way to immerse yourself in them than along the pathways of a well planned golf course.
Strantz designed the course with the idea in mind that each tee-box presented a view worthy of a painting.
As you start the course, you head down the hill looking out at Caper's and Dewee's Islands.
Quickly the transition to coastal forest comes, and you travel along a large fresh-water lake whose banks are lined with trees full of egret, ibis, heron, cormorant and all other manner of coastal birds.
Osprey nesting atop a large tree overlook the alligators sunning themselves and the bass that routinely jump out of the water in morning and evening hours.
The course then turns along the estuaries, passing a small saltwater lake achieved by a dike and gate that allows each tide to refresh its waters. Along the way are the skeletons of several large trees that have died of lightning strikes or other causes, some upright and some lying bleached and looking as though they might be gigantic bits of driftwood. After passing several openings out onto the marshes the front nine leads through a heavily forested section before breaking back into the open and heading back up the hill to the clubhouse.
The back nine leads first into what could be a scene from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains as you cross the end of another large lake and take a turn along pine forest. The second half of the back nine then travels along a lake bordered with cattails and reeds that could easily be a scene from the great lakes.
Turning back to the clubhouse, the arroyo style sculpting of the hill is apparent, and with the sand traps, century plants and thickets of broom-straw grass, it could just as easily be a Southwestern scene from Arizona or Nevada.

VIDEO: Experts address Lake Erie's toxic algae at forumWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Russ Axon, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
Over 250 people attended a forum hosted by the University of Toledo on Aug. 5 to discuss the city's recent water crisis.
The forum, "Harmful Algae in Ohio's Great Lake," was sponsored by UT's Lake Erie Research Center and Urban Affairs Center and featured faculty experts from UT and Bowling Green State University, all of who have experience with studies or issues related to the Great Lakes. Each panelist spoke about a specific aspect of the algae bloom before taking questions from the audience and Twitter.
Dr. Nagi Naganathan, UT's interim president, clarified that the forum was only meant to educate the public about the causes of the toxic water and discuss actions to prevent a repeat scenario.
"We are not going to try to present a commentary on the past few days," he said. "This panel is going to look deep into the past, and it is going to look forward."
The panel consisted of UT professors Carol Stepien, professor of ecology and and director of the UT Lake Erie Research Center; Dr. Thomas C. Sodeman, Chief of the Division of Gastroenterology; Isabel Escobar, professor of chemical and environmental engineering; Patrick Lawrence, professor of geography and planning; and Kenneth Kilbert, professor of law and director of the Legal Institute of the Great Lakes; as well as R. Michael McKay, professor of biology at BGSU.
The panel agreed that the primary problem was the high levels of reactive phosphorus from agricultural waste washing into the lake. Phosphorus is a nutrient for the microcystis algae that excretes the microcystin toxin.
The panel explained that the toxin presents a unique challenge.
Sodeman said the levels of microcystin in the water was potentially fatal for animals, but not for humans.
"No person has ever died from drinking this stuff," he said. "It can cause trouble, but you really have to mess with the stuff at very high levels."
Escobar said the microcystin is released when the algae cell breaks apart or dies, so most preventative measures, such as boiling or filtering the water, will only concentrate the toxin. She said that new water filtration techniques can be very effective but should not be seen as a solution.
"We cannot kill [microcystin] because it's already dead," Escobar said. "We want to get rid of the algae itself."
When asked if the water was actually safe, Escobar assured the audience by drinking from a glass of tap water.
The panel cited other contributing factors to the algae bloom, including climate change, invasive species and outdated septic systems.
Panelists added that this year's algae season still hasn't peaked, and it could be a problem for more Lake Erie localities.
"This is a large-scale, regional problem, and it's going to take a solution at that scale," Lawrence said.
The panel recommended several actions to help combat the algae bloom, many which focused on decreasing the phosphorus output from agriculture. Other solutions included upgrading Toledo's water treatment plants and filtration systems, improving farming machinery and techniques and stronger regulations on fertilizer usage. Kilbert said these changes require action from every level of government and multiple states.
"There's no silver bullet that's going to solve the problem," he said.
Stepien said Lake Erie had similarly high levels of phosphorus during the 1970s and early '80s but significantly reduced them through new regulations and technology.
"We've done this before, we can do it again," she said. "This closure of our Toledo water is the wake-up."

Fall is my absolute favorite season, hands down. With summer and winter coming close behind. (Yes, I love winter. I think it must be for the knitting.) And then comes spring. What is there not to love about spring? Pink trees, that green lush grass, flowers that have been underground for months, popping up like gifts. And lets not forget how nice it is to eat dinner in the daylight and wake up to sunshine. Yep, I am pretty much loving that it is finally spring.
We all loved our cookie of the week. So much so that I am making them again, today. For the third time. Sandy posted this recipe for shortbread meltaways last week. But they will be forever referred to as "Sandy's shortbread meltaway cookies" in our house.

ORNL researchers are investigating the biological mechanisms underlying production of biofuels so that those mechanisms can be improved and used to develop a new generation of efficient bioenergy strategies that will reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and help curb carbon emissions. Fundamental and applied bioenergy research at ORNL includes studies conducted within the BioEnergy Science Center and the following research areas:
The BioEnergy Science Center (BESC) is one of three Bioenergy Research Centers established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science in 2007 to accelerate research toward the development of cost-effective advanced biofuels. BESC research focuses on the fundamental understanding and elimination of biomass recalcitrance—the resistance of cellulosic biomass (plants, stems, and leaves) to enzymatic breakdown into sugars. BESC's approach to improve accessibility to these sugars involves (1) designing plant cell walls for rapid deconstruction and (2) developing multitalented microbes for converting plant biomass into biofuels in a single step (consolidated bioprocessing).
Addressing the roadblock of biomass recalcitrance will require a multiscale understanding of plant cell walls from biosynthesis to deconstruction pathways. This integrated understanding would generate models, theories, and finally processes that will be used to understand and overcome biomass recalcitrance.
Led by ORNL, BESC is a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional center leveraging experts in biology, chemistry, physical and computational sciences, mathematics, and engineering at 17 partner institutions.
Bioconversion science and technology activities focus on multidisciplinary research and development for DOE-relevant applications of bioprocessing, whereby one material is converted into another using biological agents. ORNL bioprocessing research, which emphasizes biomass conversion, combines the disciplines of chemical engineering, microbiology, and biochemistry to investigate the use of microbes, microbial consortia, and microbial enzymes for biofuels. This research includes projects both within and outside the DOE BioEnergy Science Center.
Recent work has focused on biomass conversion by the thermophilic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum and its ability to convert cellulose directly to ethanol and other products during fermentation. Studies have investigated details of the numerous enzymes involved and genes expressed after exposure to a variety of biomass types. ORNL's bioconversion research also has thrust the lab into a leadership position in the use of microbial fuel cells for waste- and process-water upgrading while producing electricity.
Overall, these activities—conducted by experts in novel reactors, separations, modeling, and system integration via chemical engineering—encompass the following research areas
ORNL bioconversion scientists also are actively involved in the annual Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals.
In addition to BESC research and projects in bioconversion and science technology, the following research areas are contributing fundamental knowledge underlying biofuel production:

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, author Helen Simonson's wry, perceptive debut novel about love, the British class system, and family obligations, genially unfolds amid a quaint, leafy English village, tweedy and provincial as any Miss Marple mystery, drafty vicarage and all. Edgecombe St. Mary is home to retired widower Major Ernest Pettigrew, a courtly, roguish martinet whose predictable daily order cracks when he loses his heart to Mrs. Ali, a genteel local Pakistani shopkeeper with "crisp enunciation", who shares both his devotion to Kipling and the loss of a cherished spouse.
As narrated by Peter Altschuler, 68-year-old Major Pettigrew is a snippy educated snob with a posh accent and sentimental streak. Altschuler inhabits the Major as a man who telegraphs disappointment in Roger, his drippy banker son, through throat-clearings and stutters. But it's his reading of complicated Mrs. Ali that truly elevates this book. Altschuler articulates her quiet, ruminating spirit and cautious nature by slowing down his own conversational flow. There is deliberateness and intimacy to Mrs. Ali reflected in her low, melodious speech and tinkling laughter. Her insecurities and droll humor sand down the Major's prickliness and humanize his peevishness. Mrs. Ali, it turns out, is as funny and flawed as the rest of us.
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is wistful and rolling, only gradually revealing the origins of blemishes in one's family life. Roger's social climbing, hinted at by Altschuler through his slick use of his father, gives way to a more nuanced explanation of the son's ambition. And when the Major compares Mrs. Ali to other village dames, noting that she's "a butterfly to their scuffle of pigeons", you get the sense that Major Pettigrew, crusty, old soul, is meant to bust out flowery paeans to Mrs. Ali, off-key, certainly, but authentic, nonetheless. Nita Rao
You are about to travel to Edgecombe St. Mary, a small village in the English countryside filled with rolling hills, thatched cottages, and a cast of characters both hilariously original and as familiar as the members of your own family. Among them is Major Ernest Pettigrew (retired), the unlikely hero of Helen Simonson's wondrous debut. Wry, courtly, opinionated, and completely endearing, Major Pettigrew is one of the most indelible characters in contemporary fiction, and from the very first page of this remarkable novel he will steal your heart.
The Major leads a quiet life valuing the proper things that Englishmen have lived by for generations: honor, duty, decorum, and a properly brewed cup of tea. But then his brother's death sparks an unexpected friendship with Mrs. Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village. Drawn together by their shared love of literature and the loss of their respective spouses, the Major and Mrs. Ali soon find their friendship blossoming into something more. But village society insists on embracing him as the quintessential local and her as the permanent foreigner. Can their relationship survive the risks one takes when pursuing happiness in the face of culture and tradition?

"A Surprising Treat!"
This book was wonderful! I enjoyed every minute and really hope that there might be another book with further adventures of Major Pettigrew in future. Terrific characters. Excellent narration. Engaging from start to finish. Not to be missed.
"Charming book with an excellent narrator"
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is a finely-textured comedy of manners concerning a retired English gentleman's growing affection for a Pakistani widow amid his attempts to cope with the current generation's departure from the proper British ways he learned in childhood and the family conflicts surrounding his brother's death. Although the author provides a sensitive look at the culture clashes that inevitably result, she does so without being preachy or intolerably politically correct. The narrator's plummy accent is perfect for the upperclass Major Pettigrew, but he is also quite adept at giving each of the other characters a distinctive and believable voice. An excellent book if you like a rather slow pace and dry English wit.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"The world needs more novels like this"
This is a humorous, gentle well-written comedy of manners, nothing trite about it. There's no angst or violence or silly bodice ripping. Although a light read, it's still in touch with reality ( especailly that of "polite" prejudice of many kinds). The novel can say that you're never too old for love without sounding like a hallmark card. Reading this novel won't change your life, but it sure can brighten up a gloomy day or soothe the progress of a head cold. May the author write on and on. (Note if you dislike a Brit character who feels "assaulted by American vowels," this may not be for you - there are lots of pride and prejudices in all the lovely, flawed characters.)
Say something about yourself!
"A lovely gem for our times"
I am a patient reader/listener, but have to admit I struggled to get into this book. Thank God I stuck with it!
This is a lovely little love story, complete with overtones of race, class, and being good enough. It is about people trying to survive in cultures not native to them. It is about finding love late in life in surprising places. And mostly, it is about Helen Simonsen's deeply crafted characters, artfully captured by a gifted narrator.
I must say that it was the narroator's spot on interpretation of the peevish, upper crust, social striving Major Pettigrew that put me off at first. But this is the mark of a fully developed character--one I am compelled to know more about, even though I don't like him much.
By the way, I loved him completely by the end, even more so because his flaws were so genuine.
If you liked "Natherland," "Let the Great World Spin," or "The Elegance of the Hedgehog," I believe you will find this a very excellent listen. If your TV viewing leans toward BBC and "The Tudors," you will love this book.
"A great surprise"
My initial misgivings about this book had to do with wondering how I would be able to empathize with a proper elderly retired British major. There is a scene early on in this book when the Major meets his son's American fiance, and has a predictably appalled reaction. But when the author describes the woman's long, pale and (to Pettigrew) scandalously bare legs "flashing like scimitars", I laughed out loud...and I was totally hooked. After a bit more listening I had to e-mail my friend and make her promise me the book was not going to veer into dark territory because I had become completely attached to all the characters, and I really couldn't take a sudden turn into drama. This book grew on me so quickly and so unexpectedly, I feel like Pettigrew himself as he realized he was enamored of Mrs. Ali.
Just great, I loved this so much, please give it try.
I loved this book so much that I delayed getting up in the morning, preferring to stay a little longer and listen a bit longer (I was on spring break). I grieved when it ended because I could no longer be part of such a wonderful story and engaging characters. It is rare to find a book that is so wonderful you relish every moment of it.
"Absolutely Charming!"
This book is a bit lighter than my usual fare, but I was absolutely charmed by it. If I lived in Edgcumbe-St.-Mary, I think I'd be in love with the major, too. It's the gentle tale of a widowed retired major who is grieving for his recently-deceased brother when friendship blooms with Mrs. Ali, the widow of a Pakistani shopkeeper. Friendship inevitably turns into stronger affection--but what will the members of the club say (let alone the major's son, a broker schmoozing his way up the corporate ladder)? And will the major ever succeed in reuniting a pair of Churchill shooters given to his father by a maharaja and divided between his sons at his death? Much of the novel centers on conflicts between the "older generation" values of the major and the new values of "progress." Mrs. Ali, too, has conflicts with her own beliefs and the traditional Islamic values of her husband's family. But all is not so serious--particulary due to Major Pettigrew's wonderful wit (which often goes over the heads of others) and some delightfully comic scenes.
I hear voices. But maybe that's because there's always an Audible book in my ear.
"Simply charming!"
This lovely little book reminds me of the "Guernsy Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" in that the ordinary parts of life get a terrific description. Where it departs from that book is in Major Pettigrew's acerbic, dry wit. He says a few things that are laugh-out-loud funny. Richly layered with plucky characters, this is a delightful listen. The story is terrific and the narrator is a perfect fit.
"Light and Wonderfully Charming"
As a 20 something American male I wondered how invested I would become with the protagonist being an elderly English war veteran, but I found myself absolutely engaged with the character. The wit and humor are excellent and the covert love story reveals that 60 or 16 we are all weak kneed and uneasy when it comes to love. Enjoyed the cultural nuances between English, Pakistani, and American characters, which provided some humorous and awkward events. An easy, light, and delightful listen. Accent and voices of the narrator were consistent and easy to understand.
"A Warm and Charming Book"
This book is well read and a wonderful tale. If you liked #1 Lady's Detective Agency, then listen to this as it has the same rhythm and charm, just set in the English countryside. The main characters are well developed and you see their flaws and strengths as they work through the multiple clashed of culture that make up life today. The book is humorous and witty and, miraculously, avoids falling into being kitschy. Don't expect great literature, but if you are looking for a heartwarming and entertaining tale, this is a very good choice.

There's clearly no stopping PSY!
The South Korean rapper, whose "Gangnam Style" video became the most-watched YouTube video of all time last month, can now brag that it has been viewed more than 1 billion (yes, billion!) times. What's more, it is also the first time a video has reached that milestone.
So, how did it accomplish such a feat?
Well, according to Google, which owns YouTube, the video is watched seven million to 10 million times a day on average, the BBC reports.
In November, the video, which was posted to the site in July, surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" after logging just over 800 million views.
PSY is no doubt doing a little celebratory dance right about now. In his own special way, of course.

Charleston Southern Bucs baseball coach Stuart Lake noticed improvement in the campers skill level during the first day of his annual Park and Recreation baseball camp.
These kids are developing decent fundamental skills, Lake said. You can see the improvement in them from last year and the year before. They can catch the ball and throw the ball very well.
A total of 23 ballplayers turned out for the weeklong skills and fundamentals baseball camp.
The turnout was a little down, said Park and Rec Director Ralph Jones. But we were really pleased with the participation of those attending the camp. They received some very valuable one-on-one instruction.
Lake ran the campers through hitting, fielding, catching and throwing drills, infieidl and outfield play, and base running trills over the four day camp.
These baseball players displayed some outstanding fundamental skills. You can see they are taught well and taught early.
Lake praised Park and Rec Athletic Director Matt Still, a former Buccanneer baseball player under Lake.
You can tell where Matts had an influence on these young players, he said. The future of Berkeley Stags baseball is in very capable hands.

LAS VEGAS Dana White thinks Johny Hendricks beat Georges St-Pierre. He thinks GSPs team, immediately after the fight, thought Hendricks beat the champ.
So you know Hendricks believes he won the fight.
St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) won an instantly controversial split decision against Hendricks (15-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the main event of UFC 167 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
After the fight, despite White, the UFCs president, saying St-Pierre was headed to the hospital, the champ showed up to the post-event news conference in the middle of the event with his face showing perhaps more wear from the 25-minute war with Hendricks than it ever had before.
Perhaps more revealing, though, was Hendricks big reveal that in the fight, he was only hitting the champ with 70 percent power.My hands are busted up from hitting him in the face, Hendricks said at the post-event news conference. Look at his face and look at mine.
White, though, was quick to dispute that, for obvious reasons.I really didnt hit him that hard, Hendricks said. I wasnt really trying to knock him out. I was putting about 70 percent on him, and it was enough.
And Hendricks couldnt dispute that, with his boss leaving him stammering for a moment.It wasnt enough, White told him. You left it in the hands of the judges. You better give 100 percent next time.
White wants to order up a rematch between the two, reiterating to MMAjunkie his belief that Hendricks won the fight. Just when that might be remains to be seen, especially in the fights aftermath, when St-Pierre said he is planning to take a leave of absence of sorts to work on some personal issues and prove a point.
But Hendricks insisted his goal of winning a title merely hit a bump in the road.
If a potential rematch does happen, Bigg Rigg may take Whites advice of not going anything but high gear against St-Pierre, who set a UFC record with his 19th win.Dude, I dont care about Georges, he said. I beat him anyway. I just want the belt. Thats the only thing thats motivating me. I need to get it. Thats my drive. I thought I got it tonight, but I guess I didnt. Theres a lot of things I can pull from this fight, and Im only going to get better. It was my first five-round fight, and I took it to the champ.
If I get to see him in the ring again, it wont go the distance, Hendricks said. I will finish him. I know I can go five rounds now.

I watched part of the first one and most of the second one. I can't take that shit. The melodrama, the high school bullshit. Just like normal, I'll be watching the last 15 minutes of every episode.
I miss the old UFC.
So far it is not being a really exciting season, but Roxanne Modafferi is fighting next, she is the main reason I have been watching this season.
Looks like Peña and the white Chris are gonna have some sex celebration very soon. Peña acted very silly, first of all making a 3 year old noises when Miesha brought her that drink. And secondly with the stupid english accent.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
What I really don't care for is the dumb romance/hook up aspect of the show now. I don't want to watch some real world shit, I want to see training, fights, and maybe some shit talking, if it is all in good fun. Also, the bar interaction with Ronda and her coach was a joke, I think they really have mental issues.
I dislike everyone so far except Roxanne & Tate.
My fiancée had a "woman crush" on Rousey, and after the first episode I said, "still like her?", trust me it was hilarious watching her try to act less shocked and appalled by Rousey's behavior. She was trying to cover up her disgust because I had spent months telling her Rousey is a douche. She is who I thought she was. I was also a bit sexist by pointing out that she was the first coach to throw a crying, crazy temper tantrum (except maybe Bisping or Rampage). I like how some dumbass coaches immediately make a #1 pick vs #1 pick match up, and then act like they feel for their fighter when they get upset. First off, you've been coaching this person for what a few days and you act like you have bonded with them? Secondly, you are the one that threw them to the wolves right off the bat! You are the one that failed them as a coach! I get that if you are gonna win the whole thing then you are gonna have to face some tough competition anyways, but a coaches job is to maximize their athletes chances to win. If you actually care about your fighter then you give them the best match up you can for as long as you can. People hate Sonnen, but that man could coach his ass off.

Hopefully she doesn't get powerbombed again like Sarah Kaufmann did to her.
Hopefully not.Looks like Peña and the white Chris are gonna have some sex celebration very soon.
Chris has a lot of potential, especially coming from Team Alpha Male. So hopefully he doesn't get sidetracked by the bootyhole.

For everybody it is very tough to be trapped there for 6 weeks, so when someone plays the clown role for a long time, it really becomes very very annoying.
She can do that voice one time, maybe 2 times, but when she does it all the time it is very obvious that everyone else will be disturbed. Fortunately they told her to STFU.
You can do whatever you want as long as you not affect other people in the process.
It is the same BS drama we basically see in each season.Also, the bar interaction with Ronda and her coach was a joke, I think they really have mental issues.
I actually think that the producers encourage fighters and coaches to act that way. People will get bored if they see everybody being respectful. They need to see some stupid confrontation, some shit talk. so they can consider the season as "entertaining".
Being said that, I wish Armenians stop acting that way because they really are giving a bad image to the country. In season 12 there were 2 Armenians in Koscheck's team and both of them were annoying, one of them was literally crazy.
And now Ronda's coach is acting like an immature pissed boy.
I know that. I do not consider her a that good fighter and I doubt a lot that she will win the season.She didn't look too impressive with her fight Into the house.
I have been following her for over 2 years and I like her because she is a very good person. As an MMA fighter, she is not very good and not very bad, but as a person, she is very very likeable.
And so far in this season she has acted in a very polite way, that is why I root for her.
I think he will.Chris has a lot of potential, especially coming from Team Alpha Male. So hopefully he doesn't get sidetracked by the bootyhole.
Julianna has already made very very clear that she is interested in him, and they already mentioned the friends with benefits stuff.
So it is obvious that both of them want to fuck eachother, and they probably will do it. I do not think there are cameras in the bathroom.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
