Modern automotive manufacturers are in pursuit of a more perfect internal combustion engine, designed to meet both consumer and regulatory demands for clean, efficient operation. In a recent online article, Digital Manufacturing Report journalist John Kirkley sheds light on two ORNL–industry collaborations benefiting from the lab's scientific and high-performance computing capabilities to advance engine design.
Both projects are funded through the DOE Vehicle Technologies Program Advanced Combustion Engine subprogram. The first uses high-resolution computational fluid dynamics modeling based on large eddy simulation to examine stochastic (random) and deterministic processes that drive cycle-to-cycle instabilities. It will shed light on the effects of higher exhaust gas recirculation rates on combustion and enable the design of engine systems that use combustion at high EGR rates to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
The second project seeks to improve the understanding and the design of gasoline fuel injector hole patterns for engine efficiency and lower emissions. Understanding spray formation and the complex fuel–air mixing in the combustion chamber is critical to building higher-efficiency engines. HPC offers a pathway to accurate, faster design modifications.
According to Robert Wagner of ORNL's Energy and Transportation Science Division, who contributed to the article, ORNL's HPC capabilities are "absolutely essential to making the breakthroughs necessary for accelerating advanced engine design and the ability of the automotive manufacturers to meet and surpass tomorrow's stringent emission regulations."
Already well positioned to address industry needs, ORNL enhanced its capabilities exponentially just days after the article was posted with the launch of Titan, the world's most powerful supercomputer for open science with a theoretical peak performance exceeding 20 petaflops (quadrillion calculations per second).

While Burning Man has gained a well-earned reputation for being one of the greatest parties in the world, it's a somewhat lesser known fact that it's also a crucible for creativity, innovation and intellectual discourse. We've done a round-up of all the workshops, talks, conferences (yes, conferences) and other intellectual pursuits happening in Black Rock City this year — turns out there's a lot of 'em! Read on, then get out there and get your cerebellum stimulated! You'll also find a list of academic events on the back of the What Where When guide, which you'll get at the Greeters Station.
(Please note that as with any "scheduled" event in Black Rock City, your mileage may vary. Camps move, times shift, weather blows things away, and people aren't 100% reliable … so take this schedule with a grain of salt, and check in with the organizers directly if you want to make sure things are happening when and where you expect them to.)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Internal Revenue Service is proposing guidelines on what income and benefits of Alaska Natives and Native Americans are subject to taxation.
The IRS has proposed the new guidance that, among other things, prohibits levies on honoraria to a shaman, but allows assessments on per-capita payments from gambling revenues to tribal members.
The IRS wrote the guidance after tribes chafed at IRS audits and demand for tax payments on income and benefits provided to tribe members. Complaints were aired in a Senate hearing in June.
The friction threatened to cause a rift in what generally have been good relations between Native Americans and Alaska Natives and the Obama administration.
The proposed taxing guidance isn't final and can be commented on by tribes through next June.

Re: How to play and rule thread - 2010
One thing is bugging me for quite some time about tie-breakers.
Hypothetically (or whatever the heck it's spelled...):
- player A guesses the winner of a final will be Venus in 25 games
- players B, C, D, E and F send their final picks afterwards
- player A changes his/her mind and guesses Azarenka in 24 games, just like player D
Question: Did player A post before player D or is it the other way around? Player A was initially faster, but his final pick was posted later than that of player D.
This was never talked about. What are your opinions? I'd say we specify that only your *last* pick counts as valid.

Below is the poem entitled The Stone Circle which was written by poet
Hamilton. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Shadow Hamilton
Far away on the lonely hilltop
deep in the midst of the moor
a place often shrouded by mist
only deep silence there prevailed
The monolithic stones stand proud
so many things have they seen
watched as blood was spilled
in sacrifice, lust and murder
The chill of this place creeps in
utter desolation is in the very air
a circle built by man for worship
of the darkest kind taking of life
Bare earth surrounds these stones
here nothing grows not even a weed
at night you can hear the banshee
howl to the moon before he hunts
A circle they say shows continuation
here all it symbolises is bloody death
the restless souls within know no peace
this circle their prison from here to eternity

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
An aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of a blood vessel resulting in an abnormal widening or ballooning greater than 50% of the vessel's normal diameter (width). An aneurysm may occur in any blood vessel, but is most often seen in an artery rather than a vein.
An aneurysm may be located in many areas of the body, such as blood vessels of the brain (cerebral aneurysm), the aorta (the largest artery in the body), the neck, the intestines, the kidney, the spleen, and the vessels in the legs (iliac, femoral, and popliteal aneurysms). The most common location of an aneurysm is the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. The thoracic aorta is the short segment of the aorta in the chest cavity. The abdominal aorta is the section of the aorta that runs through the abdomen. An aneurysm can be characterized by its location, shape, and cause.
The shape of an aneurysm is described as being fusiform or saccular, which helps to identify a true aneurysm. The more common fusiform-shaped aneurysm bulges or balloons out on all sides of the blood vessel. A saccular-shaped aneurysm bulges or balloons out only on one side.
A pseudoaneurysm, or false aneurysm, is not an enlargement of any of the layers of the blood vessel wall. A false aneurysm may be the result of a prior surgery or trauma. Sometimes, a tear can occur on the inside layer of the vessel. As a result, blood fills in between the layers of the blood vessel wall creating a pseudoaneurysm.
A dissecting aneurysm is an aneurysm that occurs with a tear in the artery wall that separates the 3 layers of the wall, rather than ballooning out the entire wall.
Because an aneurysm may continue to increase in size, along with progressive weakening of the artery wall, surgical intervention may be needed. Preventing rupture of an aneurysm is 1 of the goals of therapy. The larger an aneurysm becomes, the greater the risk for rupture (bursting). With rupture, life-threatening hemorrhage (uncontrolled bleeding), and possibly death, may result.
An aneurysm may be caused by multiple factors that result in the breaking down of the well-organized structural components (proteins) of the aortic wall that provide support and stabilize the wall. The exact cause isn't fully known. Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries with a sticky substance called plaque) is thought to play an important role in aneurysmal disease. Risk factors associated with atherosclerosis include, but are not limited to:
Older age
Family history
Genetic factors
Hyperlipidemia (elevated fats and cholesterol in the blood)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Other specific causes of aneurysms are related to the location of the aneurysm. Examples of aneurysms in the body and their additional causes may include, but are not limited to:
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
Atherosclerosis (especially in the segment of the abdominal aorta below the kidneys, called an infrarenal aortic aneurysm)
Genetic disorders
Giant cell arteritis (a disease that causes inflammation of the temporal arteries and other arteries in the head and neck, causing the arteries to narrow, reducing blood flow in the affected areas; may cause persistent headaches and vision loss)
Cerebral Aneurysm
Congenital (present at birth)
High blood pressure
Head trauma
Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm
Trauma after lumbar or hip surgery
Femoral and Popliteal Artery Aneurysm
Congenital disorders
Aneurysms may be asymptomatic (no symptoms) or symptomatic (with symptoms). Symptoms associated with aneurysms depend on the location of the aneurysm in the body.
Symptoms that may occur with different types of aneurysms may include, but are not limited to:
Constant pain in abdomen, chest, lower back, or groin area
Sudden severe headache, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbance, loss of consciousness
Common Iliac Aneurysm
Lower abdominal, back, and/or groin pain
Easily palpated (felt) pulsation of the artery located in the groin area (femoral artery) or on the back of the knee (popliteal artery), pain in the leg, sores on the feet or lower legs
The symptoms of an aneurysm may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for more information.
Brain aneurysms, especially large ones, may be more likely to bleed. Johns Hopkins neurosurgeons Alex Coon and Geoffrey Colby are performing a new type of surgery that can treat even the largest brain aneurysms. The procedure involves inserting a flexible mesh stent called a flow diverter into the affected blood vessel.
Read more.
Selection of a type of diagnostic examination is related to the location of the aneurysm. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for an aneurysm may include any, or a combination, of the following:
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan. This diagnostic imaging procedure uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses a combination of large magnets, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Echocardiogram (echo). This procedure evaluates the structure and function of the heart by using sound waves recorded on an electronic sensor that produce a moving picture of the heart and heart valves.
Arteriogram (angiogram). This is an X-ray image of the blood vessels used to evaluate various conditions, such as aneurysm, stenosis (narrowing of the blood vessel), or blockages. A dye (contrast) will be injected through a thin flexible tube placed in an artery. This dye will make the blood vessels visible on the X-ray.
Ultrasound. An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. An ultrasound is used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels.
Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease (location, size, and growth rate of the aneurysm)
Your signs and symptoms
Your tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment options for an aneurysm may include one or more of the following:
Routine ultrasound procedures. These procedures will monitor the size and rate of growth of the aneurysm every 6 months to 12 months as part of a "watchful waiting" approach for smaller aneurysms.
Controlling or modifying risk factors. Steps such as quitting smoking, controlling blood sugar if diabetic, losing weight if overweight or obese, and controlling dietary fat intake may help to control the progression of the aneurysm.
Medication. Medication can control factors such as hyperlipidemia (elevated levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood) and/or high blood pressure.
Aneurysm open repair. An incision is made to directly visualize and repair the aneurysm. A cylinder-like tube called a graft may be used to repair the aneurysm. Grafts are made of various materials, such as Dacron (textile polyester synthetic graft) or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, nontextile synthetic graft). This graft is sewn to the involved blood vessel, connecting 1 end of the artery at the site of the aneurysm to the other end. The open repair is considered the surgical standard for an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). EVAR is a procedure that requires only small incisions in the groin along with the use of X-ray guidance and specially-designed instruments to repair the aneurysm. With the use of special endovascular instruments and X-ray images for guidance, a stent-graft is inserted via the femoral artery and advanced up into the aorta to the site of the aneurysm. A stent-graft is a long cylinder-like tube made of thin metal mesh framework (stent), while the graft is made of various materials, such as Dacron or PTFE. The graft material may cover the stent. The stent helps to hold the graft open and in place.

A Sandwich a Day: Cheesesteak at Chink's Steaks in Philadelphia
the Chink's steak wit onions and Cheez Whiz came out oozing. Gingerly seared onions—browned, grease-kissed corners but still crunchy—cascaded over top of the Whiz. (Though some prefer provolone, the liquidy Whiz can actually penetrate through each layer and crevasse of ribboned, gooey steak—this is key.) A soft, but mildly crusty hero roll keeps this cheesesteak's contents structurally sound. More

Thought I'd share :-) based on my notes:
PS I'm a total amateur so feel free to correct or advise
All links are from http://www.imaging-resource.com
First, I wanted a small camera with a good lens -
- reasonably sharp into the corners of image
- preferably with low chromatic abberation (the colour fringes you often get, especially in high contrast areas towards edge of image)
I wanted to be able to photograph in low light, so either
- a "fast" lens (i.e. with low aperature number, e.g. 2.0) or
- a camera that makes good quality images at high iso
Of the compact cameras I only found the Olympus XZ-1 has a good sharp lens. I considered it, but it's around €400 and I saw that I could get a compact system camera from Sony for the same price. (Compact system cameras have larger sensors and exchangable lenses, but have no mirror in the camera so are a lot smaller than SLRs.)
The Sony NEX-3 seems to have the best image quality/ high iso performance of any non-SLR camera, matching some SLRs which have much bigger sensors. (There is a newer version, NEX-C3.) It's very small; lenses are not as small as some other makes. Problem is the kit-lens is not so good. Also there's not much choice in lenses till next year. I guess that's why it's selling so cheaply..
Then comes my favourite, the Olympus PEN E-PL2. Good kit-lens (14-42 = 28-84mm equivalent) which is collapsable, so especially small when not in use. Costs under €500 new here, but you can get it with two lenses for €582.
I really wanted to try it out but havent yet had a chance to go to an actual shop. Anyways I was thrown by the announcement yesterday of three new cameras in the same line:
- Olympus PEN E-PM1 - the "lite" version
- Olympus PEN E-PL3 - with tilting LCD
- Olympus PEN E-P3 - the "flagship" with touch screen, Organic LED panel and built-in popup flash - but doesnt have the tilting LCD (~$900)
All are supposed to have super-fast auto-focus.
Think I'll wait a bit and see what the first two are priced at (not yet announced).
There are other compact system cameras but image quality didnt get good reviews.
Finally, have a look at the Pentax Q - will be available in September - definitely the smallest compact system camera around, but also with a very small sensor so image quality will suffer.
But, (with apologies) it's soooo cute . . .

Jesus people, other countries don't really see us like this, ITS A DAMN JOKE GET OVER IT.

We all see you as always having what we call "freedom tantrums", because in a few american tv shows someone sometimes start yelling about being american and having rights and they mention the founding fathers and its usually to a policeman, kind of like in breaking bad when he rants at the policeman about his windshield if he were to have gone on about it before being tazered. And calling a country Europe annoys everyone.

I know I'm gonna get red thumbs but your so right, when ever you meet a 'merican they instantly go on the defence about their country, letting everyone know what we are all missing out on "well not all the time but when ever the U.S.A. is brung up in conversion. An calling a country Europe pisses people off as well.
#51 to #47 - umaya (03/08/2013) [-]
Nobody would mind it's just that they keep acting like America (USA, not the whole 2 damn continents, I wish they gave their country a namy name.) is the only free country in the world, a lot of countries are actually freer because a free country would include the right to gay marriage, wouldn't have the mentality of sue everyone and would make guns as hard to get as in europe for the right to safety, or living in peace or whatever, (some training and a licence, most states you just walk into a shop and buy one, you only need a permit to carry it in public) so America is really not that free.

Soler's SportsRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_US title: Soler's Sports facet_type_id: ab8c9550-5f37-1032-be8b-1d2fef0dff93 html_text: |- When 16-year-old Roger Soler crossed the finish line first at the Peruvian National Junior Championship, his victory marked the beginning of a love affair with running. At age 18, he set a Peruvian record in the 1500-meter and eventually brought his talents to the U.S., where he competed in the 5000-meter race at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. Through it all, Roger nurtured a genuine fondness for running that blossomed into a full-fledged passion when he opened the first Soler's Sports more than two decades ago. Today, Soler's Sports boasts four locations staffed by athletes with real-life experience in biking and running and was awarded a spot on Running Insight's Top 50 Running Stores of 2011. Staffers tend to customers on an individual basis, guaranteeing sneakers to accommodate gaits and bikes to fit bodies based on detailed analyses. Once employees have profiled the perfect shoe or bike, they help patrons find them, searching through the store's stock, which includes bike brands like Cannondale and Felt, and shoe brands like Nike, Saucony, Hoka, Adidas. Do not carry Ridley bikes, Vibram shoes or Vitalsox. Patrons can test-drive new kicks and wheels at the store's group runs and rides.14405 Old Bandera RoadHelotes, TX US
Jiffy LubeRead MoreThe highly trained technicians at Jiffy Lube tend to about 24 million customers each year with services such as the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil-Change, which helps promote the longevity of each vehicle. Staffers acknowledge that oil plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan of each car—it cools the motor and helps prevent moving parts from deteriorating. More than 20,000 technicians who have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) service vehicles at Jiffy Lube. In addition to performing oil changes, technicians perform preventative services such as air-filtration, among others, as well as state emissions inspections. Jiffy Lube's quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services, complete a service only after it has been approved, and refuse to replace windshields with saran wrap.4119 Fredericksburg Rd.San Antonio, TX US

An expansive layout of more than 1,200 square feet welcomes cigar aficionados seeking an even more expansive selection of puffing materials. Popular brands including Arturo Fuente, Padron, Oliva, and Ashton dot the shelves, alongside in-store brands boasting robust flavor and value. In addition to congratulatory smoking logs, Finck's accessorizes fumitory habits with humidors, cutters, lighters, and ashtrays. An array of pipes, snuffs, and chewing tobacco ensures that cigar-loving guests will have ample room to test various rolled beauties inside the smoking room, where complimentary newspapers, Wi-Fi, and coffee fit nicely alongside comfy leather furniture.12950 Bandera RdHelotes, TX US
D'Anthony SalonSpaRead MoreAll the stylists at D'Anthony SalonSpa have undergone the studio's in-house apprenticeship program to ensure every cut, color treatment, and texture enhancement meets their rigorous standards. The salon usesPaul Mitchell hair-care and styling products. Estheticians perform pampering facials customized to the unique needs of each client's complexion, and nail techs groom the tips of fingers and toes during speedy express mani-pedis or luxuriously relaxed spa mani-pedis. Threading sessions whisk unwanted stubble from faces, underarms, or palms, and waxing sessions target fuzz in nearly every region. The salon is committed to helping the community, by supporting fundraisers for tsunami and Haiti relief, Locks of Love, and the San Antonio battered women's shelter.12415 Bandera Rd.Helotes, TX US
Cantu Real EstateRead MoreAs they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.12274 Bandera RdHelotes, TX US

NABOR's Realtor of Year Poteet: A community leader and all-around fun guy
GOLDEN GATE - It's not all business for Naples' top Realtor.
Commercial broker Bill Poteet, owner of Naples-based Poteet Properties, has many attributes you expect of the person recently chosen as Realtor of the Year by the Naples Area Board of Realtors.
Poteet is a successful, ethical leader, a family man and champion for property rights. He also has some surprises.
"He is supportive of the community and protecting homeowners' rights. He will fight any legislation on any level that doesn't support home ownership," said Brenda Fioretti, past NABOR president.
Fioretti presented the 2013 NABOR Realtor of the Year Award to Poteet during NABOR's Night of Honors held March 15 at Wyndemere Country Club.
Poteet, a Realtor for more than 30 years, is a prior Golden Gate Civic Association Citizen of the Year award winner.
His list of awards, accomplishments, contributions and accolades could span pages. They include serving on every NABOR committee and as 2012 NABOR president. He was a Florida Realtors director from 2008-13, and a National Association of Realtors director and federal political coordinator in 2013.
Poteet won NABOR's prestigious Ad Miller Award seven years ago. The award recognizes someone who works to enhance and preserve private property rights, ownership, and the preservation of the free enterprise system.
Poteet, 63, a father of three children, became a grandfather in March. He is active in Boy Scouts, Jaycees, the Conservation Collier land-preservation organization, and is involved in many political issues on local, state and national levels.
"He's just a super guy, very caring, very politically involved. I don't know where he finds the time sometimes," said Wes Kunkle, 2013 NABOR president.
Poteet is well-known in the community. Those who know him well personally, as well as professionally, know he can play and be a fun guy.
"He has a very funny sense of humor. The people that know him, they know he's got some crazy videos. He's even talked me into a couple of them. He's just a fun person," Kunkle said.
As for those videos, they're unique, spontaneous comedic performances done simply for fun and amusement.
"He dresses up," Kunkle said.
A recent video entailed wearing a big purple wig and just being silly, he said.
"He (Poteet) will just get this idea in his head — and does it. It's crazy. I don't know where that comes from," Kunkle said of his longtime colleague and friend.
"It's been a great week for me," Poteet said late last week during a phone interview from a family skiing vacation in Vail.
He became a grandfather, won an award that he said he felt humbled to receive and was enjoying fresh snow on the slopes.
"I'm just thrilled," Poteet said.
So many colleagues in the profession were at least equally deserving, he said.
"I really enjoy being involved with other people and being with something bigger and bolder collectively than I can do individually," he said.
Kunkle and Fioretti spoke highly of Poteet's ability to live the Realtors' code of ethics to the highest degree. He treats people the way he would want to be treated, they said.
In that regard, Poteet said his personal and professional ethics were deepened nearly 20 years ago with his involvement in the Jaycees, a civic organization for business and community leaders.
"That's where I learned that service to humanity is the best work of life," Poteet said.
Poteet was joined by several other award winners at the gathering of the 4,500-member professional organization of Realtors in Collier County.
Awards went to member real estate professionals, not just for sales, but for volunteering their time and talents to better the organization, industry and community.
Five NABOR members received emeritus status for 40 years of cumulative membership in the organization and in recognition of their contributions to the real estate profession and community: Jo Carter, Fioretti, James Nelson, Jon Ogel and Joseph Holan.
John R. Wood presented this year's Ad Miller Award to Diane Flagg, who recently retired as Collier County's code enforcement director.
NABOR President Pat Pitocchi presented the Hall of Fame Award to local attorney Jim Pilon, who volunteers his time and counsel to NABOR. This award honors a member who has given at least 20 years of dedicated service to the profession.
Other NABOR award recipients included:
■ Affiliate/Allied Committee Contribution Award: Nate Tasso
■ Affiliate/Allied Member of the Year: Holly Harmon
■ Affiliate/Allied Rising Star Award: Priscilla Kellerhouse
■ Citizen of the Year: Mario Valle
■ Educator of the Year: Corey McCloskey
■ Humanitarian Award: Bobbie Dusek
■ Leadership Academy Alumni Award: Christine Citrano
■ REALTOR Committee Contribution Award: Ryan Bleggi
■ Task Force Contribution Award: Rick Fioretti and Bob Hewes

Alarm Clock Help
The desktop alarm clock is the most common alarm clock style. Despite its name, its primary use is not as an emergency lookout for workplace napping. Digital alarm clocks are functional and space-efficient, with at-a-glance info on time, day, date, and more. Bedside alarm clocks are heavy on the features that sleepers need, including the snooze feature, illuminated faces, and digital displays for those woozy, dream-interrupted mornings when clock hands and Roman numerals look like an ancient indecipherable language.
Avoid missed wakeup calls and unfamiliar alarms with a travel alarm clock that gets the basics right. These feature protective shells and decorative cases for frequent travelers, but they can also be used as at-home backups.
Atomic alarm clocks synchronize their time several times a day via radio signals, ensuring theft-free, up-to-the-second accuracy. A middle-of-the-night power outage is all it takes to earn you an unwelcome wakeup call from The Boss. Alarm clocks with battery backup are your shelter from the knock-out-power storm.
Whatever the problem is that you are trying to solve, we offer awesome alarm clocks to fit anyone's need.

If The Purchaser would like to cancel the cellar before it is shipped, the Purchaser will be refunded the deposit amount less a design fee and less the cost of any material that has been manufactured/cut. In the event that the amount of material that has been cut exceeds the deposit on hand, The Purchaser agrees to pay Wine Cellar Innovations the remainder due to cover the costs of said material. The Purchaser will have the option to have the finished material shipped to the address of their choice at their expense or simply request Wine Cellar Innovations to discard material at no additional charge to The Purchaser.

At inneractive, once we integrate our SDK into an app, that is only the beginning of the long process of maximizing the developer's app revenue. We then monitor the performance of our ads in real time and work with the developer closely on an ad placement strategy and QA.
Since the information is monitored and measured by our reporting system, we are constantly finding new patterns and behaviors when it comes to mobile ads. The distinguishing factor about inneractive is that we are on the side of the developer, so we figured why not share the information we have gathered, with you, the developer? So we did, and we are sure you will find the information to be useful and practical when it comes to monetizing your mobile app.

Over the summer, SAGE was renovated to meet exacting LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) environmental standards. Among the upgrades: energy star windows, high efficiency lighting fixtures, Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood products, and low VOC (volatile organic compounds) flooring and furniture. Local materialslike the slate flooring in the back sun roomwere used whenever possible. The building was constructed in 1960 and named Bozen Hall after Francis Bozen, former teacher and dean of students at the College. SAGE is also Green Mountain Colleges new honors residence hall, with space for 26 students who display a passion for learning and academic achievement as well as exemplary service to the campus community.
New Tax Credit for Textbook Expenses
GMC students may be able to get money back for their textbooks thanks to a new tax credit available through the Obama administrations economic stimulus package. This new government program will now reimburse students for up to 100 percent of the cost of required textbooks and other course materials. For example, if a student has out-of-pocket course material expenses or tuition and fees during 2009 or 2010 and no other financial grant aid covers those expenses, they would be able to claim the expenses as a credit. For each student the credit is limited to $2,500. Visit the campus bookstore in Withey Hall or click on textbookaid.org for more information.
GMC Institutes New Smoking Policy
On August 17, GMC instituted a new policy that designates three locations as smoking-permitted areas, with all other areas considered non-smoking. This includes Killington Lodge and High Ridge and the Deane Preserve. Smoking will no longer be permitted near buildings or walking across the campus or on the college land along the Poultney River.
Our primary desire is to protect all who live, work, study or visit the campus from a major health concern: secondhand smoke, states GMC President Paul Fonteyn in a letter to the campus community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that secondhand smoke contains more than 50 cancer-causing agents and is responsible each year for an estimated 3,000 lung cancer deaths and more than 35,000 coronary heart disease deaths among nonsmokers in the United States.
Temporary outdoor shelters will be placed at designated smoking areas. They will be located near the parking lot between Richardson Hall and Dunton Hall, south of the Maintenance Building and between Moses Hall and North Hall. At Killington, the parking areas for the Killington Lodge and High Ridge will serve as designated smoking areas.
Read the full text of the letter from President Fonteyn.

On June 3, Prof. Laird Christensen (English and Environmental Studies) led a workshop in place-based pedagogy at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. This workshopone of several that preceded the Eighth Biennial Conference of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment--drew participants from around the world. In advance of the workshop, participants read Teaching about Place: Learning from the Land (edited by Christensen and Hal Crimmel, and published in 2008 by the University of Nevada Press), and throughout the workshop they used models from the book to help them design syllabi for similar classes at their own institutions.
At the conference, Laird chaired a panel on creative nonfiction, entitled Facing the Forest." He also gave a reading from his essay, The Other Side of the Clearcut, which was based on his experience as Writer-in-Residence at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the spring of 2008.
Christina Fabrey, Director of the Calhoun Learning Center, was recently awarded a full fellowship towards a life-coach training program through Mentor Coach, LLC. The Mentor Coach Foundations Program, which prepares professionals to work with individuals to achieve their life goals through coaching, is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This training will add to the experience that Christina has gained through the Fast Track Coaching Institute, the Edge Foundation, and JST Coaching, and will offer GMC students an additional resource to help them achieve success in academics and beyond.
The July 22 edition of the New York Times quotes Prof. Steve Letendre (management & environmental studies) in a story about vehicle-to-grid technology. The story, by Annie Jia of ClimateWire, discusses how electric vehicles may feed into the electric grid to produce electricity and help to "answer one of the biggest climate-related question marks hovering over the grid's future: how to store renewable energy." Letendre, who has modeled the economics of vehicle to grid technology, discusses the benefits of allowing adjustments to energy generation through the storage capacity of electric cars.
Read the story in the July 22 edition of the New York Times.
