text: Somewhat-OT, but I figure the PF-friendly OBSD gang would have more experience with this than anyone: Working on a webmin-style admin/control-panel service for our webhosting clients. Thinking of running it on high ports like :8383 - :8888 or something. Anyone had problems with uncommon ports being blocked by corporate-firewalls? This tool is for light-personal use, so some people might need to log in from work. Wondering if anyone has seen a trend these days for most companies to block all but port 80 or something?

Cooking and Baking
Is there a Rice Cooker without an Aluminum Insert?
I have a confession to make... I can't make rice without a rice cooker. I have tried many times, but it just won't come out right. For years, I have been cooking mostly on stainless steel and avoiding the use of aluminum cookware. However, my trusted rice cooker is the only appliance/cookware I still own that has aluminum . I feel like I am cooking wrong everytime I use it.
Do you know if there are any rice cookers without an aluminum insert? When I search on the internet they do not specify. Please help.

Spaghetti And Meatballs
Published Tuesday, 4 May, 2010 By Jenny
- Minced beef
- Onion
- Garlic
- Mixed herbs
- Beef stockcube
- Breadcrumbs
- Green pepper
- Red pepper
- Red onion
- Tinned tomatoes
- Tomato purã©e
- Spaghetti
For the meatballs:
finely chop your onion - the finer the better.
Finely chop the garlic and place both onion and garlic in a large mixing bowl.
Add the mixed herbs, the beef stockcube and the breadcrumbs. (for breadcrumbs grate at least one slice of bread on the side of your cheese grater with the smallest slices).
Add the minced beef and mix together with your hands.
Take a small handful of the mixture and make into small meatballs.
Slice up the green pepper, the red pepper and the red onion into thin strips.
In a hot frying pan, place the meatballs so they are evenly spread out.
Add the sliced peppers and onion strips into the same pan.
Preferably with tongs, turn the meatballs over once the bottom sides become cooked and brown.
Keep turning the meatballs over every few minutes.
Add the tinned tomatoes and a couple of tablespoons of tomato purã©e.
Mix the tomato sauce around to cover the peppers, onion and the meatballs.
Leave to cook, turning every few minutes (do not be too rough with the meatballs or they will break) for a good 15 minutes or until thoroughly cooked inside (cut one open and check to see if it is meaty brown and piping hot.)
cook the spaghetti in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes, drain, serve on a plate and add the meatball concoction.
Eat and enjoy.
Hard to beat a good spaghetti and meatball recipe...Simple yet affective! If you feel like buying a good frozen meatballs original brat hans's are free from preservatives, antibiotics and added hormones. I know there is there is a certain pride in making your own though, keep up the good cooking!

John Tortorella
Hartnett: Imminent Vigneault Hire Will Have Transformative Effect On The Rangers
Once hired, Alain Vigneault will find success in New York by being everything that John Tortorella wasn't.
Rangers Mum On Head Coaching Decision, No Announcement Expected Sunday
Amid reports that Alain Vigneault is the New York Rangers' choice to replace fired coach John Tortorella, the team still isn't ready to make that announcement.
Hartnett: Vigneault Edging Closer To Rangers' Head Coaching Job?
Things have escalated quickly. Now, it seems it's just a matter of Alain Vigneault and the New York Rangers sorting out the details.
Hartnett: If Fired By Penguins, Bylsma Should Become Top Candidate For Rangers
Dan Bylsma's accomplishments as a whole are hugely impressive for a 42-year-old coach. The Penguins would be foolish to fire Bylsma. He would be welcomed by the Rangers' organization with open arms.
Silverman: Rangers' Next Coach Can't Take Tortorella Route
It's not about a coach forcing a style of play down his players' throats. Those days are over. That's the lesson of John Tortorella's painful regime.
Reports: List Of Candidates Grows As Sather Searches For Next Rangers Coach
The list of candidates to become next Rangers coach has grown to Alain Vigneault, Mark Messier, Lindy Ruff, Wayne Gretzky and Dallas Eakins.
Ryan Callahan, Carl Hagelin Undergo Surgery To Repair Torn Labrums In Shoulders
Forwards Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin underwent surgery to repair torn labrums in their left shoulders. Both players will likely need 4-5 months to recover.
Sean Avery: 'I Had A Huge Smile On My Face' When I Heard Tortorella Was Fired
"Oh, I had a huge smile on my face, no question about it," ex-Ranger Sean Avery told the New York Post on Thursday. "It's not that I'm happy for myself. I'm happy for the Rangers and Ranger fans."
Silverman: New Rangers Coach Must Have Creativity Coursing Through Veins
Glen Sather must find a coach who understands that the Rangers need to develop their offensive instincts. Tortorella crushed players like Marian Gaborik, those who wanted to put the puck in the net. The next coach can't be so limited in his outlook.
Hartnett: Mark Messier Might Be Exactly What Rangers Need In A Head Coach
His coaching resume lacks the polish of Vigneault and Ruff, but he speaks the players' language, and maybe that's exactly what the Rangers need after Tortorella squeezed the confidence out of this team.
Reports: Rangers Players Pushed For Tortorella's Dismissal
Rangers GM Glen Sather was vague when pressed for reasons why coach John Tortorella was fired. But multiple reports said the push to move on actually came from the players' exit meetings.
Following Disappointing Season, Rangers Fire Coach John Tortorella
The Rangers fired combative coach John Tortorella on Wednesday, four days after New York was eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Hartnett: Don't Buy Into The Fear; Lundqvist Will Finish His Career With Rangers
This city offers Henrik Lundqvist everything he desires. He isn't going to turn his back and throw it all away.
Silverman: Tortorella Must Go — Rangers Need New Philosophy And New Leader
Sather and the Rangers need a new philosophy and a new leader. Tortorella's hard-edged discipline serves a purpose, but it's not going to bring the Rangers a championship.
Kallas: If Your Goalie Stands On His Head And You Still Lose, What's Next?
So what happened to the New York Rangers? Did they take a step back this year? Well, coach John Tortorella says no, but the correct answer — from goalie Henrik Lundqvist — is yes.

The New York Court of Appeals recently held that the Martin Act — New York's "Blue Sky" law — does not preclude private plaintiffs from pursuing common law claims such as fraud and negligent misrepresentation relating to securities transactions. In Assured Guar. (UK), Ltd. v. J.P. Morgan Inv. Mgmt., Inc., the Court (New York's highest court) unanimously held that breach of fiduciary duty and gross negligence claims tied to alleged mismanagement of an investment portfolio are not barred by the Martin Act. This decision represents an important clarification of New York law and significantly expands the ability of private parties to assert common law claims against financial institutions and other parties in securities-related actions under New York law.
Background: The Longstanding Debate Over the Scope of the Martin Act
Assured Guaranty ("Assured") brought claims against J.P. Morgan Investment Management ("J.P. Morgan") as a third-party beneficiary to an investment management agreement between J.P. Morgan and Orkney Re II PLC ("Orkney"). Assured claimed J.P. Morgan mismanaged Orkney's investment portfolio, which was guaranteed by Assured. Assured alleged that J.P. Morgan invested Orkney's assets in high-risk mortgage-backed securities without disclosing the true risks of those investments and made investment decisions in favor of another J.P. Morgan client instead of Orkney...

Irrational, avoidable and predictable
Express-News Editorial Board : October 1, 2013 : Updated: October 1, 2013 6:24pm
Photo By EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/Getty ImagesTOPSHOTS Tourists walk by a sign announcing that the Statue of Liberty is closed due to a US government shutdown in New York, October 1, 2013. Government institutions and national parks around the US were closed and thousands of employees were furloughed after Congress was unable to agree on a federal budget and shut down the goverment for the first time in 17 years. AFP PHOTO/Emmanuel DunandEMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/Getty Images
Simply unconscionable.
There is no rational reason that our nation should be at this point — its federal government substantively shut down, 800,000 workers nationwide peering furloughs in the face and an economy that has already suffered blows, avoidably pummeled. Again.
It is fashionable at this point to cast a wide net for those responsible. But, make no mistake; House Republicans are the architects of this shutdown, with an able assist from provocateurs such as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
By advocating and employing gun-to-the-head tactics to achieve what they cannot through the normal democratic process, these politicians evidence a disrespect for both democratic principles and their country. They are working purely on an almost pathological hatred for the Affordable Care Act and a disdain for President Obama — and working for their own political interests.
Gerrymandered into safe districts and ever fearful of primary challenges from the farther right, the House GOP leadership and House Republicans generally have allowed themselves to be cajoled into a fight in which the loser is the nation.
The tea party folks are doing the cajoling and, though many folks in the GOP early on spoke of the foolishness of the tactic to defund Obamacare, not enough have been able to muster the backbone to resist.
So here we are.
Obamacare will go forward. It is in the best interest of the nation that it does. The nation does not profit from having so many without adequate access to health care. Shutting out the uninsured is not the act of statesmen.
In the days ahead, fingers will be pointed in every direction — except where they need to point.
This shutdown cannot be allowed to persist and the president should not and cannot cave on this vital point — eliminating or delaying a vital program for the nation's uninsured.
On the table is federal funding for the next six weeks, stripped of the extraneous defunding and other wish list items. Others are floating the idea of sending separate spending bills to the Senate. But if any part of the deal is delaying or defunding Obamacare or adding other items, it simply should not be done. Once upon a time, Congress approved real spending bills. Even if a deal is reached, this never should have happened.
Congress: Do your job.

Instead of making Iraq an open economy fueled by a thriving oil sector, the war has failed to boost the flow of oil from Iraq's giant well-mapped reservoirs, which oil experts say could rival Saudi Arabia's and produce 6 million barrels a day, if not more. Thanks to insurgents' sabotage of pipelines and pumping stations, and foreign companies' fears about safety and contract risks in Iraq, the country is still struggling in vain to raise oil output to its prewar levels of about 2.5 million barrels a day.As it turns out, that has kept oil off the international market at just the moment when the world desperately needs a cushion of supplies to keep prices down. Demand from China is booming, and political strife has limited oil production in Nigeria and Venezuela.In the absence of Iraqi supplies, prices have soared three-and-a-half-fold since the U.S. invasion on March 20, 2003. (Last week, they shattered all previous records, even after adjusting for inflation.) The profits of the five biggest Western oil companies have jumped from $40 billion to $121 billion over the same period. While the United States has rid itself of Saddam Hussein and whatever threat he might have posed, oil revenues have filled the treasuries of petro-autocrats in Iran, Venezuela and Russia, emboldening those regimes and complicating U.S. diplomacy in new ways.American consumers are paying for this turmoil at the pump. If the overthrow of Hussein was supposed to be a silver bullet for the American consumer, it turned out to be one that ricocheted and tore a hole through his wallet."If we went to war for oil, we did it as clumsily as anyone could do. And we spent more on the war than we could ever conceivably have gotten out of Iraq's oil fields even if we had particular control over them," says Anthony Cordesman, an expert on U.S. strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who rejects the idea that the war was designed on behalf of oil companies.But that doesn't mean that oil had nothing to do with the invasion. Says Cordesman: "To say that we would have taken the same steps against a dictator in Africa or Burma as we took in Iraq is to ignore the strategic realities that drove American behavior."

If finding uses for baking soda is eco-friendly, then I believe I've turned greener than I could ever have imagined.
Sure, I use baking soda to bake with... I've also been known to put an open box in my refrigerator to neutralize odors, however, I've noticed lately that I have been getting a little baking soda happy! Just this morning I:
1. brushed my teeth with baking soda (after my coconut oil pulling... that's another story)
2. I mixed baking soda with my shampoo to wash my hair... (supposed to make it cleaner, but not stripped of oils... something like that)
3. used baking soda mixed with my facial cleanser to exfoliate my face
4. used baking soda to clean the bathroom sink... (it works beautifully for that) and then,
5. used baking soda to scrub the bottom of the shower, too!
All that in the span of just an hour! And I didn't even realize I was doing it until I noticed how many times I had gone to the cabinet to get out the box of Arm & Hammer!
So, either I am a big mean, green machine... or I'm just cheap. :)

I am not against Mr. Davis having an assistant. I do have a problem with him hiring someone from the outside who the TAXPAYERS will now be obligated to provide with full benefits, including retirement, AND if at the end of his term Mr. Davis does not run or he is not re-elected the County will still be required to keep the person who is hired on the payroll. The ONLY way this would be acceptable with me is IF the person was hired as a contract employee and the ENTIRE compensation was not over $40K per year.

I suppose it's their own fault they're still 10 games back. They couldn't play any worse the first two months of the season if they tried. In fact, I think their starting pitching had the league's worst ERA and the team one of the worst road records up until the beginning of June. And that's when it suddenly all turned around.
Even if you're a baseball fan you may not realize the run my Minnesota Twins have been on lately. Winners of 10 in a row, 20 of 22, a record-tying 16-2 in Interleague play (just finished unfortunately!), a majors-best 30-10 home record, the list goes on and on. In fact, not only are they the first team in baseball history to collect all three monthly awards--Player of the Month (Joe Mauer), Pitcher of the Month (Johan Santana), and Rookie of the Month (Francisco Liriano)--they also had the runner-ups (!) in two of the categories: Justin Morneau to Mauer and Liriano to Santana.
Not that they didn't have some good young talent (and in Santana perhaps the best pitcher in all of baseball), but this about-face is truly remarkable. And yet, despite their stellar feats on the field lately, they've only picked up a measly 2 games on the division-leading, best-record-in-baseball (?!) Detroit Tigers this whole time, and the hated World Champion Chicago White Sox (w/ Hawk Harrelson, the most disgusting and unprofessional "homer" TV broadcaster in the business) are 7 games ahead in second place. So the Twins still have a long way to go to get back in this thing, and there's still a lot of baseball to be played. They are clearly in the best division in baseball this year, and I'm proud of the way they've rebounded from an atrocious first third of the season.
Keep playing like this and they'll be part of that Wild Card conversation real soon.

Over the past century the demand for energy has grown exponentially. With the growing demand for energy, many different energy sources have been explored and developed. One of the primary sources for energy has been, and continues to be, the combustion of hydrocarbons. However, the combustion of hydrocarbons is usually incomplete combustion and releases non-combustibles that contribute to smog as well as other pollutants in varying amounts.
As a result of the pollutants created by the combustion of hydrocarbons, the desire for cleaner energy sources has increased in more recent years. With the increased interest in cleaner energy sources, fuel cells have become more popular and more sophisticated. Research and development on fuel cells has continued to the point where many speculate that fuel cells will soon compete with the gas turbine generating large amounts of electricity for cities, the internal combustion engine powering automobiles, and batteries that run a variety of small and large electronics.
Fuel cells conduct an electrochemical energy conversion of hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and heat. Fuel cells are similar to batteries, but they can be "recharged" while providing power.
Fuel cells provide a DC (direct current) voltage that may be used to power motors, lights, or any number of electrical appliances. There are several different types of fuel cells, each using a different chemistry. Fuel cells are usually classified by the type of electrolyte used. The fuel cell types are generally categorized into one of five groups: proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, alkaline fuel cells (AFC), phosphoric-acid fuel cells (PAFC), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), and molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC).
PEM Fuel Cells
The PEM fuel cells are currently believed to be the most promising fuel cell technology, and use one of the simplest reactions of any fuel cell. Referring to
The anode (20) is the negative post of the fuel cell and conducts electrons that are freed from hydrogen molecules such that the electrons can be used in an external circuit (21). The anode (20) includes channels (28) etched therein to disperse the hydrogen gas as evenly as possible over the surface of the catalyst (26).
The cathode (22) is the positive post of the fuel cell, and has channels (30) etched therein to evenly distribute oxygen (usually air) to the surface of the catalyst (26). The cathode (22) also conducts the electrons back from the external circuit to the catalyst, where they can recombine with the hydrogen ions and oxygen to form water. Water is the only by-product of the PEM fuel cell.
The electrolyte (24) is the proton exchange membrane (PEM) (24). The PEM is a specially treated porous material that conducts only positively charged ions. The PEM (24) prevents the passage of electrons.
The catalyst (26) is typically a platinum powder thinly coated onto carbon paper or cloth. The catalyst (26) is usually rough and porous so as to maximize the surface area of the platinum that can be exposed to the hydrogen or oxygen. The catalyst (26) facilitates the reaction of oxygen and hydrogen.
In a working fuel cell, the PEM (24) is sandwiched between the anode (20) and the cathode (22). The operation of the fuel cell can be described generally as follows. Pressurized hydrogen gas (H2) enters the fuel cell on the anode (20) side. When an H2 molecule comes into contact with the platinum on the catalyst (26), it splits into two H+ ions and two electrons (e−). The electrons are conducted through the anode (20), where they make their way through the external circuit (21) that may be providing power to do useful work (such as turning a motor or lighting a bulb (23)) and return to the cathode side of the fuel cell.
Meanwhile, on the cathode (22) side of the fuel cell, oxygen gas (O2) is being forced through the catalyst (26). In some PEM fuel cell systems the O2 source may be air. As O2 is forced through the catalyst (26), it forms two oxygen atoms, each having a strong negative charge. This negative charge attracts the two H+ ions through the PEM (24), where they combine with an oxygen atom and two of the electrons from the external circuit to form a water molecule (H2O).
The PEM fuel cell reaction just described produces only about 0.7 volts, therefore, to raise the voltage to a more useful level, many separate fuel cells are often combined to form a fuel cell stack.
PEM fuel cells typically operate at fairly low temperatures (about 80░ C./176░ F.), which allows them to warm up quickly and to be housed in inexpensive containment structures because they do not need any special materials capable of withstanding the high temperatures normally associated with electricity production.
Hydrogen Generation for Fuel Cells
As discussed above, each of the fuel cells described uses oxygen and hydrogen to produce electricity. The oxygen required for a fuel cell is usually supplied by the air. In fact, for the PEM fuel cell, ordinary air at ambient conditions is pumped into the cathode. However, hydrogen is not as readily available as oxygen.
Hydrogen is difficult to generate, store and distribute. One common method for producing hydrogen for fuel cells is the use of a reformer. A reformer uses hydrocarbons or alcohol fuels to produce hydrogen, which is then fed to the fuel cell. Unfortunately, reformers are problematic. If the hydrocarbon fuel is gasoline or some of the other common hydrocarbons, then SOx, NOx and other undesirable products are created. Sulfur, in particular, must be removed or it can damage the electrode catalyst. Reformers usually operate at high temperatures as well, which consumes much of the energy of the feedstock material.
Hydrogen may also be created by low temperature chemical reactions utilizing a fuel source in the presence of a catalyst. However, many problems are associated with low temperature chemical reactions for producing hydrogen. One of the primary problems is the requirement for pumps to move the chemical mixture into a reaction chamber filled with a catalytic agent. The use of a pump consumes at least some of the power that the fuel cell is generating (called parasitic power). If the power consumed by the pump becomes too high, the operation of the fuel cell to produce electricity becomes uneconomical.
Further, the chemical mixture provided to the reaction chamber must be accurately metered to facilitate a chemical reaction that will efficiently generate electric power. Accurate metering equipment adds expense, complexity, and sensitivity to the pumping system and increases the parasitic power consumption. Typical fuel cell systems are also usually orientation-specific, meaning that metering of the chemical mixture can only be done when the fuel cell system is in certain orientations. Orientation-specific fuel cell systems limit their usefulness for portable consumer electronics and other devices that may be used in multiple and changing orientations.
In addition, another challenge to using fuel cells in portable consumer products such as digital cameras and laptop computers is providing a hydrogen fuel source that is safe and energy-dense. While there have been fuel cell systems used to generate electricity (such as systems that use the PEM fuel cell described above), they are typically not small or dense enough to be used in most portable consumer products.
In one of many possible embodiments, the present specification provides a hydrogen generating apparatus including a chemical reaction chamber, a chemical solution reservoir, an unpowered pressure-producing member for moving a chemical solution from the chemical solution reservoir to the chemical reaction chamber, and a distributed catalyst bed about the chemical reaction chamber.
The foregoing and other features and aspects of the disclosed subject matter will become further apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
PIG. 3 is a diagrammatical view of hydrogen generator according to one embodiment of the principles disclosed herein.
In the drawings, identical reference numbers indicate similar, but not necessarily identical, elements. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the description herein of specific embodiments is not intended to limit the invention to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
Illustrative embodiments of the principles disclosed herein are described below. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the subject matter of Ibis specification can be implemented in a wide variety of chemical reactions especially those for producing hydrogen for fuel cells. The fuel cell applications include, but are not limited to, PEM fuel cells, AYCs, PAFCs, SOECs, and MCFCs.
Turning now to the figures, and in particular to HG. 2, an overview of an electronic device (39) using a fuel cell power system is shown according to one embodiment. According to the embodiment of
The fuel cell (40) may provide power via an external circuit (48) to an electrical load (50). An electrical load may include any electrically operated device including, but not limited to, a digital camera, a laptop computer, and other portable electronics. The external circuit (48) may also be connected to an optional voltage regulator/control circuit (51) and an electrical capacitor or battery (52) which are shown in electrical parallel with the fuel cell (40). The optional voltage regulator/control circuit (51) may include a feedback loop (53) for providing data to the hydrogen generating apparatus (42). The electrical capacitor or battery (52) may provide auxiliary power to the electrical load (50).
The hydrogen generating apparatus (42) provides hydrogen gas to the fuel cell (40) so as to drive an energy-producing chemical reaction within the fuel cell (40). The hydrogen generating apparatus (42) may take many different forms. Referring to
Arranged about the fresh solution bag (56) may be an unpowered pressure-producing member, for example, a light-weight spring (58), located adjacent to the fresh solution bag (56). The term "unpowered" signifies that the pressure-producing member does not consume electrical energy to operate, nor does it require power from a motor. The spring (58) may include one or more members biased toward the fresh solution bag (56) to increase the pressure of the hydrogen-bearing fuel contained inside the fresh solution bag (56). In the embodiment shown, a plate (57) may be disposed between the fresh solution bag (56) and the spring (58). The pressure of the spring (58) is exerted on the plate (57), which, in turn, presses in upon the fresh solution bag (56). However, in some embodiments the plate (57) is not used and the spring (58) and fresh solution bag (56) are in direct contact.
According to the arrangement of the
The spring (58) of the present embodiment is disposed inside the chemical reaction chamber (60) between a wall (69) of the chemical reaction chamber (60) and the plate (57). Accordingly, the spring (58) applies a force to the fresh solution bag (56) via the plate (57) and facilitates movement of the hydrogen-bearing fuel from the fresh solution bag (56), through a porous distributed catalyst bed (59), and into the chemical reaction chamber (60). The distributed catalyst bed (59) may be substantially surrounding the chemical reaction chamber (60). In the embodiment shown, the distributed catalyst bed (59) is arranged about the sides of the chemical reaction chamber (60), but other arrangements may also be suitable. The distributed catalyst bed (59) is porous and may be supported by a wire or polymer mesh. The distributed catalyst bed (59) may include, but is not limited to, a noble metal catalyst such as ruthenium, rhodium, or platinum. The distributed catalyst bed (59) may include other metals such as nickel. The plate (57), the spring (58) and any other components may also be coated with a catalyst to further facilitate the chemical reaction.
The chemical reaction chamber (60) may include a wide variety of materials according to the reactants used to produce the hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction chamber (60) may be flexible or rigid, although in the present embodiment the chemical reaction chamber (60) is rigid. According to the embodiment of
The gas collection chamber (63) includes one or more fluid communications paths, such as a port (65), for supplying hydrogen gas to, for example, a fuel cell. A relief valve (67) may optionally be included in the port (65) for protection against overpressure. Another valve (not shown) may optionally be included for opening and closing the port (65) as needed.
As noted above, the movement bf the hydrogen-bearing tel from the fresh solution bag (56) to the chemical reaction chamber (60) may be facilitated by a fluid communication path such as a tubing (64). According to the embodiment shown in
In addition, the flow of the hydrogen-bearing fuel from the fresh solution bag (56) to the chemical reaction chamber (60) may be controlled by a valve, such as a micro-valve (66). The micro-valve (66) may be arranged at any convenient location along the tubing (64) or other fluid communication path for controlling the flow from the fresh solution bag (56). The micro-valve (66) is available from a variety of commercial sources. The micro-valve (66) is preferably normally closed. The valve (66) is preferably controlled by sending a series of signal pulses to the valve (66). The valve (66) is opened by arrival of a pulse and kept open for the duration of the pulse. Consequently, the volume of fuel flowing through the valve (66) can be controlled in a variety of ways, e.g., by controlling the time between pulses (micro-valve (66) pulsing frequency), the pulse width (duration the micro-valve (66) is held open), and/or valve aperture size. Variable aperture size control indicates analog control of how far open or closed the micro-valve is. The micro-valve (66) may thus enable precise control of the flow of the hydrogen-bearing fuel into the chemical reaction chamber (60). Alternatively, the micro-valve (66) may be mechanically operated by hand or by other mechanical apparatus. When hydrogen gas is needed, the micro-valve (66) is opened to allow the hydrogen-bearing fuel, pressurized by the spring (58), to flow into the reaction chamber (60). An optional relief and/or check valve (68) may also be included. In the embodiment shown, the relief and/or check valve (68) is located upstream of the micro-valve (66), but this is not necessarily so. Relief and/or check valves, such as the one shown, may be inserted at any point along the tubing (64). The relief and/or check valves (68) are commercially available from a number of different sources.
Operation of the hydrogen cartridge (54) may be described as follows. A hydrogen-bearing tel source, such as sodium borohydride is inserted into the fresh solution bag (56). In some embodiments, the fresh solution bag (56) may be inserted separately against the spring (58) after being filled. Alternatively, the fresh solution bag (56) may be filled while in the arrangement shown in
In some embodiments, the reaction chamber (60) may be supplied initially with water to fill any voids in the reaction chamber (60) and maximize volume utilization. And, because sodium borohydride mixes well with water, the concentration of the sodium borohydride in the fresh solution bag (56) may be slightly higher than would otherwise be used.
Prior hydrogen generating apparatus have required pumps of one kind or another to move the supply of hydrogen-bearing fuel from a reservoir to a reaction chamber. As indicated above, pumps add significantly to the parasitic losses of a fuel cell apparatus and occupy space, limiting the energy density available for the fuel cell apparatus. Advantageously, the principles disclosed herein decrease parasitic loss and reduces space requirement mechanical pressure source to facilitate movement of the hydrogen-bearing fuel from a reservoir to a reaction chamber.
According to the embodiment of
It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure that the embodiments described advantageously provide for metering of a hydrogen-bearing fuel source to a chemical reaction chamber in an orientation-independent manner. That is, the hydrogen generating apparatus (42, 54.) may be operable in any orientation because the pressure-producing members provide a pressure differential between the fresh solution bag (56) and the reaction chamber (60) in any orientation. This may be especially important for fuel cell applications in portable electronics, which are often moved and reoriented in many different ways. In addition, some embodiments may use only a single control valve (66), reducing the occurrence of failures present in prior hydrogen generating systems that require pumps and multiple control valves.
Each of the embodiments described above preferably include a control valve to meter the transfer of a hydrogen-bearing fuel, such as sodium borohydride, from a chemical reservoir to a reaction chamber. Control of the hydrogen generation is facilitated by the control valve, such as the micro-valve (66) described above. Referring next to
The preceding description has been presented only to illustrate and describe the principles disclosed herein. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to any precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The preceding description is intended to enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the following claims.

Being from Oakland, he grew up on local heroes like Digital Underground, Too Short, Toni, Tony, Tone, and many others. Around '91/'92 Del Tha Funkee Homosapien and the Hieroglyphics crew were first starting to make noise in the bay and it was then that he felt he could really make something out of this music thing.

Acidity in mouth spoils teeth: Report
New Delhi:
Mouth acidity, caused by sugary foods, fizzy drinks and other acidic food items, can damage the teeth by softening their roots, a study by leading oral hygiene brand Pepsodent said Friday.
"Acidity is not just something that occurs in the stomach during digestion; it begins in the mouth and causes the teeth to soften. Even a healthy diet can cause acid formation in mouth and help the growth of harmful bacteria," said the report released here.
"High acid level can wear away tooth enamel by damaging 'pH' level in teeth which refers to the balance between acids and alkaline elements in the body. Lower the pH level, higher the acid in the mouth which makes teeth more sensitive to extreme temperatures and prone to decay," it added.
While sugary foods, fizzy drinks and certain fruits increase the acid level in the mouth, consumption of bananas, potatoes, dairy products especially milk and nuts along with a lot of water help raise the pH levels and lower the acid level.
"After a meal, the pH level in mouth reduces for around two hours and saliva tries to neutralise the acid and raise the pH level, but if you continue to drink acidic beverages and sugary foods, the saliva will not be able to neutralize the acid," it said.
"Oral hygiene can be achieved by balanced meals, reducing refined carbohydrates intake and drinking water after every meal. Brushing twice daily up to four minutes using fluoride toothpaste will help keep the enamel of your teeth and maintain your overall oral health," said Kamlesh Desai, a dental surgeon.

I've been buying various baseball annuals since the mid-1980's. Beginning in 2000, I've picked up Baseball Prospectus every year. I have a love/hate relationship with those good folks — the condescending, dogmatic attitudes sometimes make me want to hurl, but overall they are well-informed, insightful, and funny. BP is the heir-apparant to the old Bill James Abstracts.
It's worth keeping in mind that today's glut of "advanced statistics" is driven, in large part, by the billion-dollar fantasy market. Those are the consumers who are buying the magazines and the annuals and subscribing to the websites, the poor schlubs who are desperate to win the office league. It's why we now see half a dozen different "projection systems" — ZIPS and Steamer and Oliver and PECOTA and so on — all with incomprehensible math, each one of them proprietary. Killer info you can get nowhere else! There's huge money to be made out there.
That's the beauty of capitalism, right? The brainiacs have been incentivized; there's money in coming up with the best, smartest analysis and forecast system. And for the most part, baseball fans benefit from it. And perhaps the game itself benefits by virtue of having better informed fans. That's the idea with democracy, after all. The smarter the voters, the better the government. Oy.
Today two different research organizations have entirely different ways of calculating WAR, for example. You can go to FanGraphs or Baseball Reference and get two totally different numbers! (Juan Lagares gets a WAR of 3.7 at BR, and 2.9 at FanGraphs: Yes, I know, that's crazy.) Why is that so? Two reasons: 1) They are making this shit up, it's valid, but the all-in-one stat is not objective in a way that can be witnessed by the naked eye; 2) There's profit in having your own fancy-dancy system, a motivation that has nothing to do with baseball. In other words, everybody is incentivized to come up with their own wacky, new-fangled shit.
My take is that these sabermetricians are very, very good at explaining what just happened. I like it, I learn from it. But when it comes to predicting the future, shrug, they get a lot of things wrong, just like everybody else. That's the beauty of the game, the math majors can't take it over. At the same time, I'm genuinely grateful to the math majors for doing all that heavy lifting. All those computer calculations have shed some light. And, yes, contributed mightily to the plethora of noise and the loss, at times, of true signal.
Anyway, nobody brings the snark quite like BP. Here's some comments from the new annual, which arrived at my door a couple of days ago. First, from the team overview:
"There is a tendency, whenever things go wrong with the Mets, to just chalk it up to their inherent Metsness. Mets gonna Mets!"
"To be more than an afterthought in the National League, the Mets are going to have to spend."
"Meanwhile they need several more solid bats before their lineup causes opposing pitchers to lose sleep, even with Granderson on board. Can they afford to acquire those bats? Not this year, it seems. And what will have changed by next year?"
"Do bankers dream of electric corner outfield bats?"
"Fans will be back when the team earns them back."
And because I'm a fast typist, some highlights from the player profiles:
On Lucas Duda: "The plate discipline and walks are a real weapon, but until further notice, Duda's greatest skill is the idea that he might hit the ball."
On Allan Dykstra: "Dykstra had a phenomenal season at Double-A, featuring that perfectly time-consuming combination of a discerning eye and a swing too long to get to the pitches he likes."
On Juan Lagares: "The Mets didn't consider him a minor-league center fielder until 2012 . . . If he keeps up the defense, his bat won't need to improve all that much."
On Josh Satin: "The team willing to play him full time at first base probably won't be very good, but hey, it only takes one."
On Ruben Tejada: "When Tejeda and Ike Davis were sent down following terrible starts, the organization wasn't subtle about which player it wanted to succeed, and which was persona non grata."
On David Wright: "The Mets need to engender trust somewhere, and with Wright cynical fans know there's at least one professional in the organization."
On Chris Young: "Contact has always been the gap in Young's game, and the problem grew to canyon dimensions last eason. The offensive sinkhole was all-encompassing, including his worst walk and strikeout rates since 2008 and 2009, respectively, and the lowest power numbers since he was a rookie. Young's season was a lemon no matter how you slice it — versus lefties or righties, home or away, in the first half or the second. Young could rebuild his value with the Mets, or this could be the first of a series of short deals leading to the inevitable "minor-league contract or retirement?" phase.
On Eric Young: "He's ultimately a fourth outfielder."
On Victor Black: "He's battled control problems his entire career, but when the ball is down, he's close to unhittable."
On Dillon Gee: "He'll always captain the "How the hell does this guy get anyone out?" All-Stars."
On Frank Francisco: "And when the Mets do dip some money into the free agent pitcher game, this is what they get."
On Steven Matz: "More worrisome is his funky, high-effort delivery, which — though it hides the ball well — may suit him best in the bullpen."
On Jenrry Mejia: "There's a great pitcher in here, we swear — try as the Mets and Mother Nature might to keep him down."
On Scott Rice: "He is batting practice against righties (.507 OBP), but his low-effort sinker-slider arsenal is a weapon. Seriously, though, no righties."
On Scott Atchison: "Let his epitaph read: He gutted out 50 appearances for a lousy team with a partially torn UCL, and he pitched pretty well, considering everyone thought he was 63 years old the entire time."
On Terry Collins: "On Opening Day, Terry Collins will be the oldest manager in baseball."

COLONIE - The season's first major snow fall has left holiday travelers, and much of the nation's airline industry, in a holding pattern.
It's not the end of the world for people who can't make it home, or who can't make it to their holiday destination, however snow storms do have a tendency to create frequent flier frustration.
Mary Watanabe and her family from Southern California flew cross country for the Christmas holiday, intent on seeing Niagara Falls. Instead, with the whereabouts of much of their luggage unknown, they wound up stuck in the Albany Airport cafeteria on Wednesday night.
"We thought we'd bring the kids here for different scenery and we're stuck in an airport," Mary said, finding humor in the situation by chuckling, her husband, son and daughter at her side.
On a snowy night in the Capital Region, Albany Airport becomes sort of a holding block for hard luck travelers as delays and cancelations light up the arrival and departure board.
Yes, there was a Christmas for Virginia resident Brenda Price, the problem though was that Wednesday night she couldn't make it home to Virginia.
"My daughter has a home in Loon Lake and she's nice enough to come back and get us but the earliest we can get out is Sunday morning," Price said. "We get to enjoy the snow."
It's a passenger predicament shared by many frequent fliers, including Tony Crucetti and his wife, from Wynantskill, who is one his way (hopefully) to California to see the Rose Bowl. His wife can't wait to see the Rose Bowl Parade. And both of them have their hearts set on seeing cable cars and Fishermen's Wharf in San Francisco.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing," Crucetti says, "It was on my Bucket List and I kicked it over and it rolled out.

YOUTH FIRST: Program gives discouraged students a nonjudgmental support system
It's spring and that means time for celebrations of all kinds: graduations, parties and the last day of school. For some, the journey through high school is exciting, challenging and transformative. For others, it is difficult.
Some see high school as a place where they don't belong, while others see it as a place to get away from a chaotic and broken home life. It also can be where their problems coalesce and any hope for change is bleak. It's these types of students who Youth First's Reconnecting Youth program tries to help: to instill hope, dreams, goals, and meaning despite their various struggles in school and at home.
One Youth First Social Worker talked to her Reconnecting Youth class about what it means to come from a "broken home." The brokenness of life comes in many forms. This includes parental addiction; mental, physical or sexual abuse of students; mental, physical or sexual abuse of someone in their family; domestic violence or presence of some other kind of trauma; parents who are incarcerated; financial and job losses; deaths in the family or other accidents.
The list goes on, but the truth is that youths in America may experience significant trauma and risk in their very short lives, and the experience of these traumatic events rarely occurs in isolation.
The internal stress is enormous. The Offspring song says it all, "I gotta get away from me."
The Center for Disease Control's Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study closely examined the impact of childhood trauma and its long-term consequences on patients. Among the troubling findings:
One in four of the patients in the study were exposed to two categories of adverse experience.
One in 16 was exposed to four types of adverse experience.
If a child was exposed to one type, there was an 80 percent likelihood he will be exposed to another category.
These difficult experiences are significantly more common than reported or recognized and have a significant impact on adult health even 50 years later.
An approach to prevention and one solution is Reconnecting Youth (RY). This nationally recognized prevention program for students at risk of dropping out of high school is focused on addressing three main goals: increasing school performance, decreasing drug involvement and decreasing suicide risk.
An RY leader (Youth First social worker) fosters acceptance and belonging, facilitates life skills training, monitors students' personal goals and initiates activities for peer bonding and promotion of healthy choices.
As a school social work intern coleading the class, I have been blessed to know a group of courageous teens with unique difficulties that impact their ability to be successful. I have seen the magic happen using the RY curriculum. When students support one another and provide accountability to program goals, desired changes begin to occur.
I have witnessed the miraculous change of one student who, at the start of the semester, admitted his only goal was to get high every day. Now, through a combination of RY and life events, the student is pursuing recovery and future college goals.
Another student shared that the best part of RY is "connecting with peers and being able to talk about what's going on and have help through it without feeling like you're being judged."
From my experience, RY is a special opportunity to assist students who have been through a lot and need extra support to succeed in high school.
