On Saturday night - be proud of your Ohio State men's basketball team. Each player. Each coach.
If Thad Matta doesn't give Amir Williams any run on Saturday, or leaves Sam Thompson on the bench for the entire forty minutes, be proud of Coach anyway. He is Ohio State Basketball.
If big Sully gets frustrated and doesn't perform at the All-American level he's spoiled us with, be proud of what our sophomore star has done for us during his two years on campus. Don't look down on anything he has or hasn't accomplished - instead, hope that we see year three.
If our lone senior William Buford doesn't come up big - on the biggest stage - don't tell everyone, 'you told them so.' Be proud of what Will brought to our program over the four-year span he dedicated to his numerous teammates and the university that we love. He loves it too.
If our surging sophomore fails to surge once more, realize that the basketball career of DeShaun Thomas is just getting off the ground. There is more to come out of DT than we yet realize, be it in Scarlet and Gray or the NBA on TNT.
If Aaron Craft can't find a way to lock down every man in sight on defense, or has a turnover or two in key moments down the stretch, don't hang your heads on Crafty. He's poured an awful lot of sweat through that #4 on his chest in his two seasons, and he's about to give us two more - while studying his ass off and becoming a First Team Academic All-American, just as he did this year. Be proud of that. Of him.
If we don't see Lenzelle Smith, Jr's flair for the dramatic light a fire in New Orleans, don't ask where he was v. Kansas, or v. Kentucky, or v. Louisville. Be proud of the fact that he has been the least heralded - yet at times - the most productive. Remember the 28 he put up in pay-back time against the Hoosiers, or the 17 he laid at the feet of a beaten, hated Michigan team in late January? His 18 key points last weekend against Syracuse likely got us a visit to New Orleans. Be proud of that.no comments
If you were to take a look back at the December 10 - 2011 edition of ESPN's SportsCenter you would see an episode full of coverage showing the University of Cincinnati's Yancy Gates versus Xavier University's Kenny Frease in what many might call the best Heavyweight Division fight of 2011 (no offense to the Klitschkos). The entire nation would point to that 'Crosstown Throwdown' as the news of the day.
Buckeye Nation would disagree.
That morning
That was a tough pill to swallow. We were highly ranked and had a mountain of expectations. We wanted to snap KU's 46-game non-conference home winning streak, with or without Jared Sullinger. The post game tone from Buckeye Nation started and ended with, "We could have won that game with Sully on the court."
No matter what, Ohio State's season already a success
The Buckeyes are headed to New Orleans.
Left for dead a month ago by the national media and faced with sharp criticism from many fans (myself included) after a string of brutal late-season losses, Ohio State will travel south this week for its first Final Four since 2007. The Buckeyes, seeded number 2 in their region, knocked off top seed Syracuse 77-70 Saturday night.
It's an impressive accomplishment. Syracuse, despite the loss of star center Fab Melo, is a talented team that improved their play through the first 3 rounds of the tournament. Unfortunately for the Orangemen, the Buckeyes were better. Ohio State played with the same team-driven, ruthless efficiency that they have for the entire month of March. The stars of the night on Saturday were Lenzelle Smith, Jr., who fought through three stitches above his eye to lead the team in scoring with 19 points, and Jared Sullinger, who was named the East region's most outstanding player in the minutes following the Ohio State victory.
But the entire team deserves credit for the Buckeyes' success. Despite Sullinger's accolades, there's no clear hero for Ohio State in the Tournament to date. Deshaun Thomas was quiet on Saturday, but was Ohio State's leading scorer through the first three rounds. Aaron Craft has been, well, himself. William Buford hasn't been good offensively, but his contributions on defense and on the boards are underrated.no comments
Spring ball is upon us! Something every Buckeye looks forward to once the excitement of March Madness is over. But this year there is another level of anticipation to the game that has the whole country a-buzz … Urban Meyer is calling the shots. His professional resume speaks for itself, but for a community that thrives on pride and tradition, there is one intangible quality that means much more to Buckeye Nation … a quality that our most beloved coaches in history (Woody Hayes, Earle Bruce, Jim Tressel, etc.) all share with our new coach … they all bleed Scarlet and Gray!
For Coach Meyer, the source and continual fuel of that pride stems from his family. His wife and children were with him during every step of his career; for every victory; and through all the scrutiny. They weathered the highs and the lows and became closer and stronger because of it. Coach Meyer's family values are vitally important to him. So when the decision was made to join our Buckeye family as the head football coach, the decision came from the entire Meyer family. Buckeye Nation should, and most certainly does, feel quite honored to have the entire Meyer family in our family!!
While we know about Urban Meyer the coach, Buckeye House Call thought it would be fun to get to know the Meyer sisters - and in February conducted a Q&A with his older daughter, Nicki. This month, I was given the honor of introducing Buckeye Nation to his second daughter, Gigi! And after talking to Gigi, not only am I fired up for Buckeye football, but I am deeply impressed with her character and her convictions. Two respectful, mature, proud, strong, accomplished, and independent daughters with very grounded perspectives on life. Definitely attributes to their parents and great additions to our family, as well. I think I speak for all of Buckeye Nation when I say, "Welcome to THE Ohio State!!"no comments
This one was hard to see coming.
Heading into the Elite Eight, Deshaun Thomas is suddenly the Buckeyes' best hope for Tournament success. How did that happen?
A year ago, he was a nice player in theory. Other than his status as a former Indiana Mr. Basketball and four-star recruit, all Ohio State fans knew about him was that he was a talented young player who loved to score but not to play defense. His coach called him Shaun, promising to call him by his full name when he stepped up on D. Most believed him to be a potential star in the future, but nobody anticipated the trajectory his career has taken in the 2011-12 season.no comments
In my second edition of the Lost Legends of Buckeyes 101, I'm turning my focus to those Buckeyes who traded helmets and cleats for shorts and sneakers in Columbus. Ohio State has a rich basketball tradition that goes unnoticed even by the most ardent of Buckeye fans, and I will start to bring you more and more Buckeye basketball legends as well as their football counterparts as I continue my series of Lost Legends. So in honor of March Madness, here are three underappreciated but highly historic Buckeye ballers who truly left their mark in Columbus.
We start of this list with Jay Burson. Burson, a native of New Concord Ohio, starred on his High School basketball team, scoring an astounding 2,958 points in his four years at John Glenn High School in 1985. The scoring record he set would stand for almost twenty years before being broken by a more recent face to the Buckeye program (Jon Diebler) but would ultimately set the tone for his career in Columbus. An All-Conference selection his senior year, Burson would go on to net 1,756 points in his career on an average of 14.4 points per game. He led all Buckeyes in scoring his junior and senior years of 1988-89, and was also highly consistent from the free throw line with an 86.7 percent average. Jay then left Ohio State to play in the NBA for the Houston Rockets, followed by the CBA.no comments
When the final buzzer sounded and #13 Ohio had officially knocked off #4 Michigan, Buckeye Nation rejoiced – and Michigan fans immediately went on suicide watch.
It's been no secret that Wolverines' head football coach Brady Hoke, from day one, has refused to add the 'State' to the end of Ohio when referring to the Buckeyes. That alone had actual Ohio State fans celebrating when John Beilein and his Michigan hoops squad drew Ohio University in round of sixty-four of this year's NCAA tournament. No doubt that the Wolverine faithful though 'oh shit' at the mere chance they might get upset by Ohio. Was it likely? Not at all. But the fear had to have been there.
And once reality set in that they were indeed going down 'Ohio?' Hard to tell – unless you scour the free online message boards and social media sites. They never fail to provide the real Pulse of a fan base. Only one word can describe the pre- and post-game scene and conversation: BEAUTIFUL.no comments

A racing game with a twist.
Players secretly get a horse (of a particular color) assigned before the game starts. The player with the horse in last place at the end of the game wins.
On your turn - sequence of play is decided by auction - you play a card that controls two different colored horese. When every player has put down cards, the horses move; but only horses with an odd number of cards on the table! If the number of open cards is even, the horse does not move.
But, true to the spirit of horse racing, each player has a chance to play a "dirty trick", including Change Horses. This can affect the game dramatically.
The best detailed description of the game is here.
{This is one of the few multiplayer games that plays equally well with only two}
Without wishing to beat a dead horse, I would like to suggest that players use the carrot bidding option for all games; the game without carrots should be reserved for youngsters, first-timers, and those who need to hurry home to relieve the baby sitter.--The Big Game hunter

Abnegation. Candor. Amity. Erudite. Dauntless.
In Veronica Roth's addicting dystopian series, "Divergent" there are five factions you would belong to depending on which family you are born in.
At the age of sixteen, you have to Choose where you will belong to for the rest of your life.
The main protagonist, Beatrice Prior now Tris Prior was born abnegation(selfless faction) but switched to dauntless(battle ready faction, action, bravery) and learns she is actually a divergent- a mixture of all the factions.
One faction I would belong to would be erudite(knowledge happy, fact greedy faction). And although in "Insurgent(Book 2 in the Divergent series) the Erudite continue to be frowned upon, I have personal and practical reasons why I would fit perfectly in the erudite community:
These are not really powerful reasons to be erudite as many of their cool demeanor is damaging to families and others; all for the sake of the cause of gathering information. I understand being at a library for hours a day, that is what I do now. But to lack compassion? Come on, erudite, it is so not logical to piss off every faction.
Which faction would you choose and why?
Pass this post along to others so we can discuss this oh so important faction loyalty. :)
There will be some dramatic(not too many) changes to my blog. After reflecting and doing some online researching and calling to rememberance why I have set up this blog, in the first place I have to revamp it a little.
These are just a few of the changes I will try hard to stick to. Again, book reviews will mainly be left to Goodreads, Examiner, or my family's sister site Mission Possible(for inspirational/Christian thoughts and books)
God bless you all as you read and write! :)
I promised in my last post to explain what it means to be versatile with genres of choice to read and write. I suppose there are many reasons why people choose the books they read- emotions and moods, curosity, work, school reports. anything.
My aunt one day handed me this thick, pink book of Inspirational Fiction with Christian themes- they were all romances and I read the book and actually loved it.
I fell in love with Romantic CF but soon I fell in love with another genre- African American Romance/ Erotica while in college. After that I discovered YA books again with the introduction of Twilight in 2008.
Different books have shown me different facets of my own heart:
Books rooted in a certain theme or religion are not bad books if the writing is good. Period.
However I am born human first with many sins and my color, culture and religion all come after that fact(singer Erykah Badu can explain this better than I can!)
I have learned so much spirituality from secular fiction as I have from Christian Fiction. Put another way:
Secular Fiction= the reality of the need for a Savior.
Christian Fiction= written more about the need for a Savior and not just those who are already saved.
For now I am comfortable in my skin, enjoy good music, books, and what I write about. All these things are me.
Question: Why do you like Christian Fiction/Secular/Both?
One thing writers should realize in the present economical and digital age, is that providing literature has gotten more creative and cost effective. We talk about the ways in which the internet allowed for anyone to self publish and have more freedom, but what about the benefits to those readers who purchase our words?
Here's a rule…never charge for a short story. Let people save their pennies for something else like foods, clothes, or to donate to organizations. After releasing my book free for Prime members on Amazon Kindle only, I began to think : "Why am I charging even 99 cents for this to others! It's only thirty odd pages, gosh!"*
So, Good News: "Mark of Fortune" is free. Forever. It is only nice to provide stories for people to download conveniently(and it received 50 downloads its first night!) I don't brag at all, but it is nice to see some downloads but that only tells half the story.
Another thing writers should realize, is that writing may be a solo effort but collaboration takes place between their audience as well. Expecting feedback from an honest reader/reviewer can be healthy. If the review is overly critical or insane I ignore it.
Otherwise it is something in which we all share in.
I'm waiting for the feedback.
Now here is my Smashwords Edition of Mark of Fortune, click the link. Read and you can visit my Connect With E.J. Page to send your review as well as review on Smashwords.*
*I will be posting snippets from the book exclusively on Google+
*'Mark of Fortune was 30 pages and is now reduced to 23 after edits :)
*Tell me, are you working on a short story? Would you charge for it? Why or why not? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Kissing Shakespeare by Pamela Mingle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Miranda is about to act in 'Taming of the Shrew'. It will be the show of a lifetime. Yet, she is about to play an even bigger role- in 16th Century England as the vixen who will seduce the very real, and very young William Shakespeare.
When Stephen Langford met Miranda, he knew she was the one to come with him through time to help the young William Shakespeare makes the decision to write and not become a Jesuit. Which at that time was a very serious offense, accompanied by execution. Miranda's job is to seduce William to the other side. But when she and Stephen get closer together with their schemes and conversations about personal life and relationships, Miranda realizes:
She may not want to leave England.
Stephen has become something of a shoulder to lean on and it doesn't help that he is charming, brilliant, and very handsome as well. It kind of confuses the mission…
Pamela Mingle has written a fine work that is sure to get more youth involved with reading some Shakespeare. The only caution is that there is one vulgar word mentioned at least twice in the story and a couple of situations that are too risqué for twelve year olds to read. Maybe sixteen years and up.
Otherwise a lovely book that I can definitely see as a nice film as well.
Under the pen name Sheerrain Kase, Mark of Fortune was written. A quick, thirty odd page novella on the meeting between Samosa, a thirty year old community college student and handsome man named Stone of the Ice Rings.
Without giving much away, they meet up and Samosa finds out that this humble guy who helps her in her worst moment, is much more than a man. He has something they both need. What makes the book interesting is the fact that there is no real need for actual sex scenes as what Stone can do to any woman is sensual and…uncomfortable at best.
Stone has his own story to tell and his adventure from Galaxy to Midplane to Earth and his love triangles across the universe before he met the beautiful Samosa- is worth telling. His story will be published this Spring/Summer 2012 and available on Smashwords, Createspace, and Kindle.
Right now, if you are an Amazon Prime Member you can read this book for free!

Table of Contents:
List of Appendices
Two consequences result from a complete rupture:
For a leakage failure, the hazard consequences can range from no effect to very serious effects:
The types and applications of pressure vessels included and excluded in this chapter are summarized in Table IV:3-1. An illustration of a schematic pressure vessel is presented in Figure IV:3-1.
NOTE: Though this review of pressure vessels excludes inspection or evaluation of safety release valves, the compliance officer should be aware that NO valves or T-fittings should be present between the vessel and the safety relief valve.
Most of the pressure or storage vessels in service in the United States will have been designed and constructed in accordance with one of the following two pressure vessel design codes:
Vessels certification can only be performed by trained inspectors qualified for each code. Written tests and practical experience are required for certification. Usually, the compliance office is not equipped for this task, but is able to obtain the necessary contract services.
TABLE IV:3-1. Vessel Types
|Vessels included:
|Vessel types specifically excluded:
|Stationary and unfired
|Vessels used as fired boilers
|Used for pressure containment of gases and liquids
|Vessels used in high-temperature processes (above 315° C, 600° F) or at very low and cryogenic temperatures
|Constructed of carbon steel or low alloy steel
|Vessels and containers used in transportable systems
|Operated at temperatures between -75° and 315° C (-100° and 600° F)
|Storage tanks that operate at nominally atmospheric pressure
|Piping and pipelines
|Safety and pressure-relief valves
|Special-purpose vessels, such as those for human occupancy
Deaerator Service
Analysis of incident survey data and other investigations has determined the following features about the deaerator vessel cracking.
The failures and the survey results have prompted TAPPI (Technical Association of Pulp and Paper Industry), the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, and NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) to prepare inspection, operation and repair recommendations. For inspection, all recommendations suggest:
The TAPPI and the NACE recommendations also contain additional items, such as:
Amine Service
Although the possibility of cracking of carbon steels in an amine environment has been known for some years, real concern about safety implications was highlighted by a 1984 failure of the amine process pressure vessel. Overall, the survey found about 40% cracking incidence in a total of 294 plants. Cracking had occurred in the absorber/contactor, the regenerator and the heat exchanger vessels, and in the piping and other auxiliary equipment. Several of the significant findings of the survey were:
Wet Hydrogen Sulfide
The harmful effects of hydrogen generating environments on steel have been known and recognized for a long time in the petroleum and petrochemical industries. In particular, sensitivity to damage by hydrogen increases with the hardness and strength of the steel; and damage and cracking are more apt to occur in high strength steels, as follows:
Ammonia Service
Pulp Digester Service
These vessels had a very good service record with only isolated reports of cracking problems until the occurrence of a sudden rupture failure in 1980. The inspection survey has revealed that about 65% of the properly inspected vessels had some cracking. Some of the cracks were fabrication flaws revealed by the use of more sensitive inspection techniques but most of the cracking was service-induced. The inspection survey and analysis indicates the following features about the cracking.
Summary of Service Cracking Experience
For vessels and tanks within the scope of this document, the service experience indicates that the emphasis of the inspection and safety assessment should be on:
Of the various conventional and advanced nondestructive examination (NDE) methods, five are widely used for the examination of pressure vessels and tanks by certified pressure vessel inspectors. The names and acronyms of these common five methods are:
VT, PT, and MT can detect only those discontinuities and defects that are open to the surface or are very near the surface. In contrast, RT and UT can detect conditions that are located within the part. For these reasons, the first three are often referred to as "surface" examination methods and the last two as "volumetric" methods. Table II of PUB 8-1.5 summarizes the main features of these five methods.
Liquid Penetrant Test (PT) depends on allowing a specially formulated liquid (penetrant) to seep into an open discontinuity and then detecting the entrapped liquid by a developing agent. When the penetrant is removed from the surface, some of it remains entrapped in the discontinuities. Application of a developer draws out the entrapped penetrant and magnifies the discontinuity. Chemicals which fluoresce under black (ultraviolet) light can be added to the penetrant to aid the detectability and visibility of the developed indications. The essential feature of PT is that the discontinuity must be "open," which means a clean, undisturbed surface.
The PT method is independent of the type and composition of the metal alloy so it can be used for the examination of austenitic stainless steels and nonferrous alloys where the magnetic particle test is not applicable.
Magnetic Practice Test (MT)
Radiography (RT)
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
The fundamental principles of ultrasonic testing of metallic materials are similar to radar and related methods of using electromagnetic and acoustic waves for detection of foreign objects. The distinctive aspect of UT for the inspection of metallic parts is that the waves are mechanical, so the test equipment requires three basic components:
Very short signal pulses are induced into the material and waves reflected back from discontinuities are detected during the "receive" mode. The transmitting and detection can be done with one transducer or with two separate transducers (the tandem technique).
Detection Probabilities and Flaw Sizing
The implementation of NDE (nondestructive examination) results for structural integrity and safety assessment involves a detailed consideration of two separate but interrelated factors.
The overall reliability of NDE is obviously an important factor in a safety and hazard assessment. Failing to detect or undersizing existing discontinuities reduces the safety margin while oversizing errors can result in unnecessary and expensive outages. High reliability is achieved through a combination of factors, as follows:
This chapter and PUB 8-1.5 has a large amount of information on the design rules, inspection requirements, and service experience, relevant to pressure vessels and low pressure storage tanks used in general industrial applications. Though the compliance officer is not usually qualified as a pressure vessel inspector, as a summary and a reminder, Appendix IV:3-1 outlines the information, data, and recordkeeping that are necessary, useful, or indicative of safe management of operating vessels and tanks.
These records, in addition to the construction and maintenance logs, usually are kept by the plant engineer, maintenance supervisor, or facility manager, and will be indicative of the surveillance activities around safe operation of pressure vessels.

Apple iPhone Bug Prevents New iPhone 4 From Using Visual Voicemail
We are all loving our iPhone 4's so far, but we are experiencing minor issues here and there. For example, Matt and I were having a strange issue on our new phones. Whenever we went into Phone and clicked on the Voicemail button, instead of going to the Apple Visual Voicemail, it instead placed a call to Voicemail. So basically, it wasn't working right at all.
After playing around with it, we managed to figure it out without going through the hell that is ATT customer service. The trick is, on most new iPhones, you have to receive a voicemail (or two) before the iPhone will launch the prompt that asks you for your ATT voicemail PIN number. (Seen below)
To fix this issue, follow these steps:
- Call yourself from your phone. After 1 ring, you'll hear your voicemail greeting. Leave yourself a message.
- Check your voicemail by clicking the voicemail button. See if it gives you a password prompt seen above.
- If you do NOT get the prompt, leave yourself another voicemail. It took Matt and I two tries to get the prompt. (NOTE: The voicemail password is the pin you have with ATT, NOT your Apple ID password.
Once you enter the ATT PIN, go back to the voicemail tab and your visual voicemail will come back to life!

The opening title card to the film reads, "Republic Pictures presents The Three Mesquiteers in Pals of the Saddle featuring," followed by pictures of John Wayne, Ray Corrigan and Max Terhune with their names and character names superimposed. Portions of the picture were filmed in Red Rock Canyon, CA, and at Ray Corrigan Ranch in Simi Valley, CA. A Hollywood Reporter news item on July 14, 1938 noted that Major Keiffer's Cavalry Unit was to be in the film, but their appearance in the released film has not been confirmed. The Neutrality Act noted in newspaper headlines in the film's opening montage was signed into law in 1935. Part of the Act's terms banned the sale of war materials to warring nations. This was the first of the Mesquiteers series in which John Wayne appeared as Stony Brooke, replacing Robert Livingston.

Experience with Energy Storage Technology Is The Key to Promoting Innovation
This past week, Lux Research released a report on its outlook for lithium-ion batteries and the prospects for cost reduction. Lux noted that the electric vehicle market has been slow to develop and that the key to its more rapid evolution is, as always, reducing the price of lithium-ion batteries. The report suggests, however, that there is a limit to the price reductions that existing technology can deliver and that the long term commercial viability of battery electric vehicles (BEV's) must await the development of new, next generation technologies.
The Lux report is interesting because it puts some numbers on the problem. According to Lux's calculation, the best that can be done with existing lithium-ion technology, largely by manufacturing batteries at scale, is to reduce their cost to about $397 per kWh. While this is likely a significant improvement over the cost of lithium-ion automotive batteries today, it is a far cry from the <$150 per kWh threshold that the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium estimates as necessary for BEV's to penetrate the mass consumer market. Lux suggests that the best opportunities for further price reductions in BEV batteries lie in developing new cathode materials, such as lithium-air, lithium-sulfur and magnesium ion, and solid state lithium-ion batteries.
Distributed, grid-connected energy storage technology is also running up against significant cost barriers. The cost figures being reported for the initial deployments of community energy storage systems are too high and unsustainable. The cost challenge for stationary storage, however, as opposed to motive storage, seems less related to the price of the battery itself than to the cost of evaluating, monitoring and controlling the battery both before and after it is deployed.
With an eye on addressing this problem, ARPA-E announced this week a new initiative aimed at identifying high-impact concepts for providing diagnostic, prognostic, and control capabilities for energy storage systems. The initiative focuses on encouraging the formation of teams of companies and researchers organized across industrial sectors that will bid on ARPA-E funding opportunities for energy storage control systems that will be announced in the future.
The ARPA-E initiative aims at encouraging the building of more and better relationships among the software, controls and battery industries, sectors which have not necessarily worked closely together in the past. This is a very interesting concept and NAATBatt looks forward to doing its part to encourage the formation of these relationships. More information about the ARPA-E initiative can be found at: https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov/#7fb756a5-03ec-471f-8b9a-454487240447.
It is clear that new innovation is needed to bring down the cost of energy storage and that the innovation must produce technologies and systems that are different than what we use today. But in looking for that innovation and trying to promote it, it is important to identify from where it is most likely to come. Innovation that matters, that truly impacts mature technologies such as automobiles and the electricity grid, will not occur in a vacuum (or in a laboratory alone).
Innovation that matters can only be promoted by giving battery manufacturers, auto makers and utilities real world, practical experience with existing energy storage technology, insufficient as it may be, and letting them figure out how best to increase its power and decrease its cost.
Developing next generation technologies is important, even critical, to the future of energy storage. But we must resist the temptation to believe that these new technologies will emerge magically from someone's garage.
Energy technology is not information technology and does not work the same way. Giving battery manufacturers, auto makers and utilities the practical experience they need with energy storage technology is the true key to innovation that matters and that will ultimately allow energy storage technology to fulfill its promise in vehicles and on the grid.

Gunnar Rundgren says:
On energy storage in batteries, Tom Murphy wrote in an interesting blog post:
"our national battery occupies a volume of 4.4 billion cubic meters, equivalent to a cube 1.6 km (one mile) on a side. The size in itself is not a problem: we'd naturally break up the battery and distribute it around the country. This battery would demand 5 trillion kg (5 billion tons) of lead."
Rodney Smith says:
So much focus on the cost of battery systems for relatively low value applications (e.g. autos) when we should look to develop and deploy battery storage on high value applications (e.g. rapid regulation services) first, and then apply our learnings on lower value applications. The current alternatives for rapid regulation services are limited (e.g. fly wheels). Gas generation cannot be counted as rapid regulation as the response time is measured in minutes rather than sub-seconds.

douglas card says:
"Everybody is fixated on dollars per kilowatt hour," said Kevin See, analyst with Lux Research, who analyzes the battery space. Envia's test cell equates to a cost of $150 per kilowatt/hour, down from more than $300 in today's vehicles. For that reason, said See, "Envia is one of the few companies we view positively in the emerging battery space."
Unlike prototype batteries of some competitors, the Envia cell is of a usable size, and it's being used in test vehicles now. The company is capable of making hundreds of such cells a week, enough to power two to three test cars, according to Chief Executive Atul Kapadia. However, he doesn't expect to see the technology in mass production vehicles until 2015, due in part to the very long production cycles for new auto technologies.
It seems the 'Lux Research' research is not quite accurate. Maybe you could clarify the above. Especially since Dr See is the Lux lead - battery - researcher.
"more than $300 in today's vehicles" ?!? Please explain how equates to your (Lux's?) "According to Lux's calculation, the best that can be done with existing lithium-ion technology, largely by manufacturing batteries at scale, is to reduce their cost to about $397 per kWh " This is huge and comes across as if someone is at the very least attempting to mislead the reader.
James Greenberger says:I am not sure that I can reconcile the Lux numbers, though I suspect that Lux could explain the discrepancy. My guess, however, is that the source of the confusion is that the number in the report refers to the cost per kWh of the battery pack, while Kevin See in talking about Envia was referring the the cost per kWh of the battery cells (which is what Envia makes). As a general rule of thumb, the cost of the cell accounts for about 70% of the cost of the battery pack in lithium-ion automotive applications.
douglas card says:OK, Thank you
Willem Post says:
".......sooner oir later we have to come to terms with putting a price on externalities and making sure we pay for it."
Suppose we say the world's population explosion is an externality of medical research and development and that economic growth serves to pay for this explosion; 1 billion in 1900, 7 billion in 2010, etc.
Surely, this externality is expensive in terms of environmental degradation, resource depletion, etc. In comparison, the CO2 issue is a Sunday school picnic.
Rajat Sen says:
Batteries and battery based energy storage systems, for stationary and transportation applications, have been supported by the federal government since President Carter's days. Much progress has been made, but the energy density, power density and cost still remain an issue. I continue to support federal involvement in energy storage development and, it seems to me, that ARPA-E approach to funding the development of breakthrpough technologies in energy storage is very laudable. I am not at all convinced that incremental improvements will lead us to practical, cost effective systems in the near future. Let me also add that breakthroughs may not be enough -- sooner oir later we have to come to terms with putting a price on externalities and making sure we pay for it.
James Greenberger says:
Thanks, Rajat. Putting a price on externalities is a great idea, and in the perfect world that is what would happen. But the world is not perfect and the chance of pricing many if not most externalities that effect the relative value of energy storage is not great. The best we will likely be able to do is to price those externalities in reverse, by subsidizing certain applications of energy storage that address those unpriced externalities.
With regard to the best way to subsidize the development of energy storage technologies, I would take no issue with your assessment of ARPA-E, which is a great and innovative program. But, in certain stationary storage applications, storage is a lot closer to cost-competitive than you might think. And if you factor in the price of the externalities, certain stationary storage applications may already make economic sense. Moreover the opportunity for further and significant reductions in the price of certain stationary storage applications is very real and near term. My point is that we should not ignor the near term opportunities to reduce the cost of storage by focusing all of our efforts on developing next-generation technology. We need to do both.
Rajat Sen says:
i do not disagree with you Jim --we do need to do both. Having done my Ph.D on batteries and fuel cells in 1972 -- I apologize -- if I am a little jaded. I just wish progress was faster. I did an early study for DOE on battery energy storage for power quality -- the benefits were there but the battery was not. I also worked closely with PG&E looking at the role of energy storage for better asset utilization --again the benefits were there -- the cost effective battery system was not. I am convinced we need a breathrough -- hope the ARPA-E program achieves that.
James Greenberger says:
I am hoping for a breakthrough as well. But as Robert Oppenheimer once observed, scientific breakthroughs don't happen because we want them to occur; they happen because the science permits them to occur. The good news is that, though no short term breakthroughs are expected, steady progress is being made on improving the energy density of lithium-ion battery cells. There are theoretical limits to what can be done, but innovation may yet find ways to work around some of those limits. The key to progress in energy storage technology may turn out to be trying to hit a series of singles, rather than swinging for the fence. For the moment it is too early to determine what the best strategy will be. And for that reason we need to keep both approaches--swinging for singles and swinging for the fence--open.

Leah's Ngeta Group
Leah is a 34 year old married woman with two children, ages 8 and 4. Leah is a maize flour seller; she started this business in 2003. Every day she works from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at her business, where she earns a monthly profit of about $110.
In the past, Leah has taken out two successful loans from BRAC Tanzania to expand her business. She now hopes for another loan to expand her business. She will share this loan with her subgroup members, who have small businesses selling clothing and maize flour.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

C.J. Spiller has returned to the Bills to help them prepare for the season opener this Sunday in Buffalo.
Spiller spent the past week in Florida, trying to help his family deal with the aftermath of a shooting spree in which Spiller's grandfather shot four people – killing two – before committing suicide.
Spiller acknowledged he's far from OK.
"I wanted to be around my guys," Spiller said. "I wanted to come and practice with these guys and get ready for New England. I understand that it is a tragic event that took place. It's going to take a while to cope with it. But at the same time, I can't forget the task and the goal and the dreams that we have here as a team and as an organization. I want to be a part of that."
Bill safety Jairus Byrd, meanwhile, is dealing with plantar fasciitis that could keep him out of the season opener.
He continues to be a limited participant in Bills practices and head coach Doug Marrone said Sunday, "He's still working his way back in, doing a couple of team things, but he's still working his way back in to get in a position where he can help us."
Spiller returns to Bills; Byrd banged up

Title: Exploration of Biodegration Methods for Hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-Triazine (RDX)
Investigators: Coley, Bianca M
Institution: Spelman College
EPA Project Officer: Boddie, Georgette
Project Period: May 30, 2006 through February 29, 2008
Project Amount: $41,500
RFA: GRO Fellowships for Undergraduate Environmental Study (2006) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Academic Fellowships
This research project will attempt to identify a method to biodegrade hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX). RDX is used as a military explosive and in civilian demolition. These explosives, located at military bases, can leach into the soil and groundwater if conditions permit. In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the possible issue of petrochemicals contaminating water could arise because of the ammunition storages located near the areas affected by the hurricanes. It is important to have a method to biodegrade RDX to enable protection of human health. CDC indicates that RDX can cause nausea, vomiting and seizures. By using preliminary gas chromatography mass spectrometry analyses we found that RDX was not degraded over time. Our experiments test for the possible breakdown in anaerobic conditions followed by aerobic conditions. Results will be presented at Spelman College Annual Research Day and at the Safe Water Conference.Supplemental Keywords:

Nice reception
We got a nice reception and all the staff were pleasant.
We booked a newly refurbished room with a king sized bed. It was defiantly a king sized bed stuffed into a very small space, no room for 2 people to move at the same time. The shower room was also very small and you couldn't bed down in the shower to wash your feet. If this room had been refurbished I m glad I didn't stay here before. On a positive the bed was nice and clean once you got in it, when you got up in the night though, there was a step down out of the shower cupboard perfect for stubbing your toe on going in and falling out on the return.

Good Product
posted 7 years ago
Very nice product what little noise it does make is easily silenced by placing the filter inside of a cabinet. The only problem I have had was priming the filter after a power outage it took over 10 minutes. I still give it a 5 for the fact that a power outage happens rarely.
Pros: Very Quiet
Cons: A little difficult to prime

Great filter and very quiet
posted 7 years ago
I use a Rena filter for my 100 gallon turtle tank. It works really well. I don't have to clean the tank very often and the tank stays quite clean. It's quiet, too.
Pros: keeps it clean; quiet
Cons: none

For a program I am developing I have to create a grid of nodes. For instance a grid of 10x10 = 100 nodes. A node can contain several variables. I am having problems visualizing this in a Object Oriented way. My idea is that I let the program automatically create an object for every node, as I have made a class "Node". My question is: Is it possible to let Objective-C (2.0) create automatically a large number of objects (for instance node1 to node100)?
As I am quite new to programming I can imagine this being a wrong way to view this. If so, I would like advice on how to tackle this properly.
Thanks in advance.

Love this for a summer's day (everyday is a summer's day here!). It's moisturising and feels tingly on the lips which is always great. Highly recommend.
