At the end of this week, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to release an updated draft rule to limit carbon emissions from new power plants. Environmentalists call the regulation long overdue, but Republican lawmakers are pushing back.
A white-paper report released by House Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., on Friday says state regulators should decide how to manage greenhouse-gas emissions from power plants. In short, according to Whitfield, EPA is overreaching.
The paper sent to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and authored by 17 state attorneys general and one state regulator attacks the agency's efforts to create performance standards for existing power plants and is just as critical of its attempts to regulate new plants.
"The way in which EPA has "˜pushed the envelope' in interpreting its legal authority … portends a similarly aggressive and unlawful approach to the regulation of existing [power plants]," the white paper states.
It concludes that proposals to cap emissions from new and existing plants are symptomatic of a larger, underlying problem — EPA's efforts to wrest regulatory power away from the states.
"EPA, if unchecked, will continue to implement regulations which far exceed its statutory authority to the detriment of the states, in whom Congress has vested authority under the Clean Air Act, and whose citizenry and industries will ultimately pay the price of these costly and ineffective regulations," the paper contends.
State regulators, the attorneys general argue, are better positioned to create performance standards for power plants, given their familiarity with local conditions and the feasibility of implementing proposed changes.
An EPA spokesman contested the arguments laid out in the white paper, saying that the agency has clear authority to regulate air pollutants, including greenhouse gases emitted by power plants, under the Clean Air Act.
Whitfield's release of the report came just days before his scheduled hearing Wednesday on President Obama's second-term climate agenda. The hearing marks the first time that administration officials will be invited to testify on the president's climate action plan proposed in June and will feature testimony from McCarthy and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
"Congress rejected cap-and-trade, but the administration is still moving full-speed ahead with an aggressive climate-change agenda that threatens to drive up energy costs and undermine America's global competitiveness," Whitfield told National Journal Daily in an e-mail. "EPA's power-plant regulations are a key part of this agenda, so I expect members will question McCarthy about these new standards due to the potential implications of the regulations for states, business, and consumers."

The great restroom war of 2016 continues apace, as eleven states have sued the Obama administration in federal court, claiming its federal guidance on how schools should accommodate transgender students "has no basis in law." "The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on behalf of Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The lawsuit argues that the federal government has worked to turn workplaces and schools 'into laboratories for a massive social experiment.'"
By a 29-10 vote, the House Natural Resources Committee today passed the bill to allow Puerto Rico to restructure its $70 billion in debt. The legislation "would establish an oversight board to help the commonwealth restructure its un-payable debt and craft an economic recovery plan."
"Though every major party nominee since 1976 has released his tax returns while running for president, the practice has never been required by law. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) wants to change that. The senior Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, which handles tax issues, introduced a bill on Wednesday that would force presidential candidates to release their most recent tax returns. The Presidential Tax Transparency Act, as the bill is called, would require candidates to make their latest three years of tax returns public no later than 15 days after becoming the nominee."

"Puzzle platformer" without any puzzles in it
-Gameplay in general
-Just a run-through game, no puzzles
oh i love your games
never stop programming dude, your awesome
very nice.
I enjoy the concept of this game more then the game itself, it`s a simple game, but is fun too. the fun comes more from the idea of the DarkArchon (for those who are familiar). Its not so much fun as in "OMYgoodnesS Imma DIE!" so much as Heheke, i have you now!
Glad it reached frontpage, but it still needs some work.
Nice but too easy
Yeah. Too easy, but it's a good platformer. I liked the taking control part a lot and if you managed to make more difficult levels, it'd be a bit better.
Hey: Why not combine the death slug idea with this. You take control and keep some of the new body's capabilities (requires a newstyle and everything, but just thinking...)!
Keep it up! Looking forward to your next -maybe medal infused- game
It's such a fun game! I love it!! The graphics are cute. I like the way you have to navigate around the screen to get to the pipe, infecting people along the way. Fun fun fun! :D

Recent rookie (or close to) head coaches through the NHL
Ari Yanover
May 11 2016 08:00AM
Nothing is official - far from it, in fact - but from the way things are going, it sounds like the next coach of the Calgary Flames might just be somebody with a bit less experience. Not a retread; a rookie.
While we don't really know at this point in time just who is being considered - other than a bunch of people who really love pointing out that Randy Carlyle is being interviewed - it's certainly an angle worth looking at.
After all, Brad Treliving is one of the younger GMs in the NHL, and the Flames are a rebuilding, youthful team: why not go with a younger coach to match?
FlamesNation Player Evaluations: Tyler Wotherspoon
Ari Yanover
May 10 2016 12:00PM
In the 2014-15 season, Tyler Wotherspoon had to wait until a meaningless Game 82 to set foot back on NHL ice. In 2015-16, it took him until Game 57. Not only that, but he got an extra 10 games out of it, to boot.
So while Wotherspoon didn't get any playoff games in this past season, he got more NHL time in general. He's an upcoming restricted free agent who looked like he might be able to fill in as a bottom pairing defenceman at the NHL level; it wasn't a bad year for him at all.
The best and worst Flames coaches ever
Ryan Pike
May 10 2016 10:00AM
The Calgary Flames are currently looking for a head coach.
Over their 44 seasons in the National Hockey League, the Flames have had 17 head coaches (including interims). Some were good. Some were bad. All of them lost their job in one way or another. If you want to get technical, two of them fired themselves.
Here's our ranking of Flames coaches from worst to best.
Random Thoughts - On Bob Hartley
Kent Wilson
May 10 2016 08:00AM
Bob Hartley's tenure as the Flames' head coach is over.
Though I found the timing of his dismissal somewhat surprising, I nevertheless agree with it in principle. Treliving's remarks on the matter are apropos: in many ways the club seems to have peaked under the current bench boss. A fresh perspective is needed if the team is to take a real step forward.
Though I was never an ardent Hartley fan, I think he did some things right during his time here. The problem is the things he did wrong he didn't seem to know how to fix. When a coach has run out of answers of glaring tactical issues, you need to move on.
Mikael Backlund goes to Worlds: Sweden vs. Czech Republic

May 09 2016 02:00PM
Team Sweden and Team Czech Republic were two of the top Group A teams headed into this match. After scoring two goals in the first period, it looked to be Sweden's game - but then the Czechs came back and kept going, and took the clear 4-2 victory, dropping the Swedes to one win, one overtime win, and one regulation loss so far at the 2016 IIHF World Championships.

Amazon Web Service has fielded what it calls High Storage instances, a new EC2 instance family for applications requiring fast access to large amounts of data.
These new instances are currently available as a single instance type, Eight Extra Large (hs1.8xlarge) and provide customers with 35 EC2 Compute Units (ECUs) of compute capacity, 117GiB (gibibytes) of RAM and 48TB of storage across 24 hard disk drives.
The widgetry is capable of delivering more than 2.4GB a second of sequential I/O performance.
With large amounts of direct-attached storage per instance, these High Storage instances are good for data-intensive apps like Hadoop workloads, log processing, data warehousing and parallel file systems to process and analyze large data sets in the AWS cloud.
Amazon says these new instances can power Redshift, its new petabyte-scale data warehousing service and will be important for customers using its Elastic MapReduce to process large quantities of data.
The widgetry is supposed to lower the cost of processing large data sets with Elastic MapReduce.
According to MapR, Hadoop distributions offer enterprise-grade Hadoop features such as high availability, data snapshotting, mirroring across availability zones and NFS mounts. High Storage instances are ideal for these distributions.
Users can launch High Storage instances using the AWS Management Console, EC2 and Elastic MapReduce Command Line Interface, AWS SDKs and third-party libraries.
High Storage instances are currently available in the North Virginia region and will be available in other regions.
Customers can purchase High Storage instances as On-Demand or Reserved instances.
Detailed pricing information is available at the EC2 pricing page.

Altor Networks releases Virtual Firewall 2.0, a step closer to VMsafe integration
The security vendor Altor Networks released yesterday version 2.0 of its Virtual Firewall (VF).
This new version is able to write the security policies using the virtual machines UUIDs rather then their ever-changing IP addresses.
Additionally VF 2.0 monitors traffic to/from the weakest par of any VMware Infrastructure: the ESX COS.
Overall the company is doing a good job in the integration with the VMware platform (the new installation wizard is really easy to use) but the key part of this integration is still missing: the support for the VMsafe APIs.
VMware is taking forever (so far it's one year) to release the long-awaited security interface so Altor Networks and its competitors can't do much more than what they already do to differentiate themselves from a traditional security vendor that distributes and supports its products inside a virtual machine.
virtualization.info already covered this topic several times.
The good news is that Altor Networks is working closely with VMware and is ready to release a VMsafe-friendly Virtual Firewall as soon as it will be possible.
Maybe we'll be lucky and vSphere 4.0 will appear at VMworld Europe 2009 next week.

Nationwide housing starts dropped 3.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.099 million units in January, according to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Commerce Department. Overall permit issuance edged down 0.2 percent.
"January's production numbers are in line with our recent HMI reading and show that builders are being cautious as they face some market uncertainties and supply side constraints," said NAHB Chairman Ed Brady, a home builder and developer from Bloomington, Ill.
"Despite the modest dip in starts this month, we expect to see ongoing, gradual growth in housing production in 2016," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "An improving economy, solid job creation and pent-up demand for housing should keep the market moving forward."
Both single- and multifamily production dropped in January. Single-family housing starts fell 3.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 731,000 units while multifamily starts declined 3.7 percent to 368,000 units.
Combined single- and multifamily starts fell in all four regions in January, with the West, South, Northeast and Midwest posting respective losses of 0.4 percent, 2.9 percent, 3.7 percent and 12.8 percent.
Multifamily permits rose 2.1 percent to a rate of 482,000 while single-family permits fell 1.6 percent to 720,000.
Regionally, the Midwest, West and South registered respective permit gains of 26.5 percent, 24.5 percent and 0.3 percent. Permits fell in the Northeast by 55.4 percent.

Every American decade has its archetypes. If you were heading off to business school in the 1980s, you might have wondered – or even worried – you'd end up like Alex Keaton from the hit TV series "Family Ties." Alex scoffed at the Peace Corps past of his parents, and believed he could amass all the wealth and status that he wanted without being too concerned about the political affairs of the world around him -- beyond, perhaps, advocating for lower tax rates on capital gains.

Perkins: 'The Islamists and the Homosexuals Work Out of the Same Playbook'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 2/1/2012 1:50 pm
Yesterday on Today's Issues, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins claimed that "Islamists and the homosexuals work out of the same playbook" in their attempt to "marginalize" and "silence" critics. Perkins told his cohost, American Family Association head Tim Wildmon, that both Islamists and gays and lesbians attack critics because "if what they do and what they subscribe to is scrutinized, people will turn away from it." Wildmon wholeheartedly agreed with Perkins and said that Islamists and the gay community want people to "suspend common sense."
Perkins: The Islamists and the homosexuals work out of the same playbook. They knew that if what they do and what they subscribe to is scrutinized, people will turn away from it, so what they want to do is they want to marginalize and eventually silence anyone who challenges their ideology and their agenda.
Wildmon: That's called political correctness.
Perkins: Yup.
Wildmon: What you have to do there is you have to deny reality and you have to, you know, you have to suspend common sense.

Cubs Rally to Edge Angels at HoHoKam Park
Scott Hairston blasted a tape-measure home run down the LF foul line and into the parking lot to cap a four-run 7th, and pinch-runner Shawon Dunston Jr scampered home with what proved to be the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 8th, as the Cubs rallied to edge the Los Angeles Angels 7-6 in Cactus League action this afternoon at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in warm & sunny Mesa, AZ.
The Angels took a 4-0 lead through 4-1/2 innings, scoring all four runs off Cubs SP Edwin Jackson. Facing a mostly "minor league" lineup, E-Jax worked 5.0 IP (82 pitches - 54 strikes, 7/6 GO/FO) plus one batter in the 6th, allowing five runs (all earned) on eight hits (five singles and three doubles). He did not issue any walks, he struck out two, and he threw one WP.
The final run charged to Jackson was an inherited runner, who scored when LHRP Hisanori Takahashi surrenderd an RBI double to Efren Navarro with one out in the top of the 6th. Takahashi worked two innings (25 pitches - 14 strikes) and was not charged with a run, and he allowed two hits (both of the hits by LH hitters).
From what I have seen of Takahashi this Spring, he is (like James Russell) a fly ball pitcher with a propensity for allowing the HR ball and he does not seem to be particulary tough on LH hitters. His stuff probably profiles better as a #5 starting pitcher than as a LOOGY or a LH relief specialist. In fact Takahashi was stretched out as a starter up until his last two appearances (two relief outings in the last three days), and Manager Dale Sveum probably considers Takahashi more of a spot starter/long reliever who happens to throw LH than a lefty relief specialist. So I would not be too surprised if the Cubs are in the market for a LH reliever who is actually tough on LH hitters, perhaps somebody who might get released or be made available by another MLB club the last week of Spring Training.
After being shut-out over the first four innings by veteran SP Joe Blanton, the Cubs scored their first run of the day with two outs in the bottom of the 5th as Darwin Barney smacked a double into the LF corner, and Edwin Jackson followed with an RBI bloop single to CF (Jackson's second hit of the day) to drive-in Barney. (The Cubs have three starting pitchers who are dangerous hitters: Edwin Jackson, Jeff Samardzija, and Travis Wood).
Down 5-1 going into the bottom of the 6th, the Cubs scored another run as Anthony Rizzo singled, and Nate Schierholtz came through with a one-out opposite-field RBI double into the left-center alley.
Then the Cubs put up a four-spot in the bottom of the 7th off Angels lefty reliever Nick Maronde to take a 6-5 lead.
Brent Lillibridge led-off with an opposite-field triple down te RF line (Blanton's final hitter), and PH Dave Sappelt (facing LHP Maronde) drew a walk. David DeJesus followed with a sharp RBI single to center to score Lillibridge and send Sappelt to 3rd, with DeJesus alertly taking 2nd on the throw. (DeJesus has been nothing short of amazing against LHP so far in Cactus League play, after putting up an atrocious 149/289/149 slash-line with zero extra base hits versus LHP last season). Alberto Gonzalez then ripped a two-run double into the left-center alley to score Sappelt and DeJesus, but was thrown out trying to stretch the double into a triple (in other words, he made the first out of the inning at 3rd base). Scott Hairston (who murders LHP) gave the Cubs the lead (and put an exclamation point on the inning) with his two-out solo HR into the parking lot.
Carlos Marmol took the hill for the Cubs in the 8th with the task to protect the one-run lead, but he was unable to do that, laboring through a 22-pitch inning (throwing only 10 strikes), walking two and hitting a batter, as the Angels scored the tying (unearned) run on a Steve Clevenger passed ball with two outs.
But Clevenger redeemed himself in the bottom of the 8th, lacing a lead-off opposite-field double into the left-center alley off Angels RP Ernesto Frieri. (Clevenger is hitting a robust 378/400/459 in 22 Cactus League games). Pinch-runner Shawon Dunston Jr moved up to 3rd base on a ground out, and after PH Welington Castillo drew a two-out walk, Dunston scored on a Frieri WP.
Making his first appearance since leaving last Sunday's game mid-inning with a blister, Rafael Dolis worked a scoreless 18-pitch 9th to record the save. Dolis did allow singles to the first two men he faced, but minimized the threat by picking off the first baserunner with an excellent move to 1st (and he almost picked-off the second baserunner, too, with the exact same move).
Takahashi, Dolis, Zach Putnam, and Cory Wade are competing for the final spot in the Cub bullpen, but I think Takahashi has the edge, although the Cubs certainly could acquire a reliever prior to Opening Day, either one who was released (as happened with Shawn Camp last year), or via waiver claim, or in a trade. But whatever happens, the final spot in the bullpen will probably eventually go to Carlos Villanueva, once Matt Garza is healthy enough to rejoin the starting rotation and Villanueva is no longer needed in the rotation.
It appears that with 3B Ian Stewart (quad) likely starting the season on the disabled list and with Luis Valbuena the (mostly) everyday third-baseman for a while, Steve Clevenger and Alberto Gonzalez are battling for the last spot on the bench. While Gonzalez is a legitimate MLB utility infielder with the defensive skiills to play SS-2B-3B (temporarily replacing Valbuena in that role), Clevenger can play C-1B-3B and supersub Brent Lillibridge can play anywhere (allowing Valbuena to slide over to SS or 2B if necessary), and having Clevenger available on the bench would make it less of a risk to use Welington Castillo as a PH on days he is not the starting catcher. So I think Clevenger willl win the job, unless the Cubs sign a free-agent utility player or acquire one in a trade prior to Opening Day.
If Lillibridge and Takahashi (both signed to minor league contracts and both Non-Roster Invitees to Spring Training) make the Cubs Opening Day MLB 25-man roster, they will have to be added to the Cubs MLB 40-man roster. If that happens (and it's fairly likely), I would expect RHPs Arodys Vizcaino and Scott Baker (both rehabbing from 2012 TJS) to be placed on the 60-day DL to make room on the 40-man roster for the two NRI additions. If an additional roster slot beyond those two is needed, the Cubs could recall Junior Lake (who sustained a fractured rib during Spring Training) from his Optional Assignment and place him on the MLB 60-day DL, although if they were to do that, Lake would accrue MLB Service Time and would be paid at the Major League salary rate (rather than at the minor league "split contract" salary rate) while he is on the MLB 60-day DL.
Something else to keep in mind is that if and when Ian Stewart is healthy enough to be reactivated from the DL, the Cubs could choose to option Stewart to Iowa (and I'm not talking about a minor league rehab assignment). Stewart has one minor league option left, and because he has not yet accrued five years of MLB Service Time (he is 122 days short going into the 2013 season). he cannot refuse an Optional Assignment to the minors. (He can elect free-agency if he is outrighted, however). Optional Assignment Waivers would need to be secured before Stewart can be optioned, but Optional Assignment Waivers (just like Trade Waivers in August & September) are revocable the first time they are requested in a given waiver period, so the Cubs could choose to withdraw (revoke) the waiver request if Stewart were to be claimed (presuming they don't want to lose him on a waiver claim). And if he is not claimed and Optional Asignment Waivers are secured, the Cubs could option Stewart to the minors (as long as it is prior to the 122nd day of the 2013 MLB regular season, which is July 29th). NOTE: Stewart would continue to get paid his 2013 $2M salary even if he is optioned to the minors.

Baker has right elbow strain. Will not throw for month and reevaluate
Welcome to the 60 day DL Scott Baker.
I've written on Scott Baker's elbow before.
This is not a good sign since what is strained is his graft replacing the ulnar collateral ligament. This is quite a different situation than evaluating an original UCL. How durable the graft is depends on what was used as his graft source as there are several options including cadaver options (allograft, graft from cadaver source) vs another ligament from the patient like palmaris longus (forearm) or medial hamstring (distal thigh usually the semi-tendinosis or gracilis) or plantais (leg), (autograft, graft from the patient). If I were Baker, this is the point where I'd get the additional opinion of his original surgeon, Dr. David Altchek from Hospital for Special surgery in NYC. Dr. Altchek is also one of the national experts on sports medicine including the TJ procedure. He's known as the Mets team doc. Of course, there are others and Dr. James Andrews or Dr. Lewis Yocum names always starts to pop up when tertiary opinions come into play in pitchers. Baker is only 12 months out from surgery and the timetable to recovery is a range, usually 12-18 months. Hoping for recovery at 12 months just might be premature even though he will eventually be OK.
Dr Altchek...
Original Baker surgery info...
And an LA Times article that discusses graft issues (palmaris vs hamstring) with quotes from Drs. Andrews and Yocum.
Though numerous careers have been saved by Tommy John surgery, its overall success rate is actually about 85%, Yocum and Andrews said.
"People think it's 100% successful," Andrews said. "It's not."

For those of you who have strong enough stomachs to watch a video (and static step by step pictures) of Tommy John UCL surgery the following link shows the classic procedure with a palmaris longus graft from the forearm. There are a few technique variations and this one does use a docking technique for the humerus attachement. The docking technique was developed by Dr. Altchek.

Recent comments
Manny Rondon faced 13 batters ... and got 10 to K. Not a bad day's work.
With several other Cubs hitters bailing out on curves today I think overall it wasn't being seen well. It for sure looked silly but a good breaking pitch coming at you and then breaking down isn't the easiest thing to see and has made many hitters look silly. Also Soler should have more walks this year but for quite a few called strikes that were actual balls and even the called strike he bailed on was borderline.
it's not like we're talking about a guy who's never had issues with pitch selection and seeing the ball over here. we're talking about a guy who has some rather legendary swing-and-misses at breaking stuff who's been exploited low. going forward it's worth paying attention to seeing if he can be exploited inside, too. he seriously bailed out of the box on a called strike. sure it was a good curve, but he obviously didn't see that well at all.
It would seem like he is figuring it out now and it's really coming together. Really happy for him. Joe was really protecting him from the 3rd time through the order, but as you allude to, he is earning trust to go deeper.
Wondering if has potential to become a #3 pitcher? His current stats certainly support it.
That doesn't count b/c CRUNCH didn't see it on his 60" HDTV 5 times in replay.
I have seen many players "bail out" when the ball looked like it was gonna hit them.
Especially with the advent of the splitter and pitchers that can really get the ball to dance. Marmol, Sutter, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, Derek Lowe, Smoltz, Arrietta...
These guys have made the best bail out only for the ball to come over the plate and be called a strike.
No shame in that. The same way players whiff hard enough to cause them to drill a hole in the ground from spinning.
a 60" TV with slow-motion replay and multiple looks on that replay helps...a lot...
it's one thing to shy away like he did the 2nd time, it's another to bail out of the box on a called strike. that happened in the 1st one he pulled away from. he misjudged that one by a foot or so...
Good Hendricks sure is fun to watch. He was hitting all his corners today and the Phillies couldn't do anything with his changeup.
Bryant and I believe Zobrist both did that too.
Soler BB acumen and plate awareness is excellent. Not unusual for even the best players to react as if they were about to hit them, "even though they weren't that close" from your vantage point sitting on your deck, or wherever.
soler vs inside breaking balls is scary.
he's had 2 inside curve balls today where he reacted as if they were about to hit him even though they weren't that close...one he bailed out of the box on, it was a called strike.
j.urias optioned back to AAA...guess we wont be seeing him in the LAD series.
so is him actually getting 2 hits in a game (2 doubles!)...first time he's even been on base 2 times in a game since 9 games ago on his 3/4, 1bb day.
im ready for him to at least look like a 2-slot hitter since he's gonna be slotted there no matter what he does.
That Heyward move to avoid Bryant's ball hit at him was a thing of beauty too.
9 pitches in and this game already rules.
HR, double...bryant's turn (who came out to a Kris Kross song for some horrible, horrible reason).
...2 run inning...zoobrest hitting streak at 14.
First time I saw Herrera was yesterday. He took like 100 pitches, fouled off a ton off Lester.
Very nice young player and perfect leadoff guy.
Obviously not Phil. But he mentioned this on Wednesday.
"Dominican Summer League (DSL) Opening Day is Saturday June 4th, so probably about 8-10 pitchers and position players presently at EXST in Mesa will be sent to the Cubs Dominican Academy (probably sometime this week) and be assigned to either DSL Cubs #1 or DSL Cubs #2."

A northwest Iowa man has been found guilty of several counts of sexually abusing a teenage girl.
A Buena Vista County jury found 36-year-old Cory Wernimont guilty Wednesday of five counts of third-degree sexual abuse.
The Sioux City Journal reports that Wernimont's sentencing has been set for April 15 in Buena Vista County District Court. He faces up to 10 years in prison on each count.
Prosecutors say Wernimont sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl on Aug. 7 at his home.
He faces 60 more counts of third-degree sexual abuse in a separate case in which he is accused of sexually abusing another 15-year-old girl over two to three years. The trial in that case is set for May 7.

Researchers work toward enhancing the smallest electronic components
Researchers have made an important advance in the emerging field of 'spintronics' that may one day usher in a new generation of smaller, smarter, faster computers, sensors and other devices, according to findings reported in today's issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
The research field of 'spintronics' is concerned with using the 'spin' of an electron for storing, processing and communicating information.
The research team of electrical and computer engineers from the Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Engineering and the University of Cincinnati examined the 'spin' of electrons in organic nanowires, which are ultra-small structures made from organic materials. These structures have a diameter of 50 nanometers, which is 2,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. The spin of an electron is a property that makes the electron act like a tiny magnet. This property can be used to encode information in electronic circuits, computers, and virtually every other electronic gadget.
"In order to store and process information, the spin of an electron must be relatively robust. The most important property that determines the robustness of spin is the so-called 'spin relaxation time,' which is the time it takes for the spin to 'relax.' When spin relaxes, the information encoded in it is lost. Therefore, we want the spin relaxation time to be as long as possible," said corresponding author Supriyo Bandyopadhyay, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the VCU School of Engineering.
"Typically, the spin relaxation time in most materials is a few nanoseconds to a few microseconds. We are the first to study spin relaxation time in organic nanostructures and found that it can be as long as a second. This is at least 1000 times longer than what has been reported in any other system," Bandyopadhyay said.
The team fabricated their nanostructures from organic molecules that typically contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. In these materials, spin tends to remain relatively isolated from perturbations that cause it to relax. That makes the spin relaxation time very long.
The VCU-Cincinnati team was also able to pin down the primary spin relaxation mechanism in organic materials, which was not previously known. Specifically, they found that the principal spin relaxation mechanism is one where the spin relaxes when the electron collides with another electron, or any other obstacle it encounters when moving through the organic material. This knowledge can allow researchers to find means to make the spin relaxation time even longer.
"The organic spin valves we developed are based on self-assembled structures grown on flexible substrates which could have a tremendous impact on the rapidly developing field of plastic electronics, such as flexible panel displays," said Marc Cahay, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. "If the organic compounds can be replaced by biomaterials, this would also open news areas of research for biomedical and bioengineering applications, such as ultra-sensitive sensors for early detection of various diseases."
"These are very exciting times to form interdisciplinary research teams and bring back the excitement about science and engineering in students at a very young age to raise them to become the future generations of nanopioneers," Cahay said.
The fact that the spin relaxation time in organic materials is exceptionally long makes them the ideal host materials for spintronic devices. Organic materials are also inexpensive, and therefore very desirable for making electronic devices.
The VCU-Cincinnati research advances nanotechnology, which is a rapidly growing field where engineers are developing techniques to create technical tools small enough to work at the atomic level. Additionally, by using nanoscale components researchers have the ability to pack a large number of devices within a very small area. The devices themselves are just billionths of a meter; and trillions of them can be packed into an area the size of a postage stamp. Furthermore, they consume very little energy when they process data.
In 1994, Bandyopadhyay and colleagues were the first group to propose the use of spin in classical computing. Then two years later, they were among the first researchers to propose the use of spin in quantum computing. The recent work goes a long way toward implementing some of these ideas.
The work is supported by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the National Science Foundation.
Sandipan Pamanik, a graduate student in the VCU School of Engineering's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was first author of the study. The research team also included Carmen Stefanita, Ph.D., and graduate student, Sridhar Patibandla, both in the VCU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and graduate students Kalyan Garre and Nick Harth from the University of Cincinnati's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Enhanced recovery protocols could reduce colorectal surgery costs substantially
Hospitals could save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by streamlining just one of its service lines: Colorectal surgery.
A study that will be published soon in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has concluded that the key to saving money is the use of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs, according to a research announcement.
ERAS programs include a variety of standardized protocols, including preoperative counseling, postoperative nutritional guidelines, an emphasis on mobility right after surgery, and less reliance on the use of painkillers. Such protocols gained traction in Europe over the past 15 years, but are also experiencing growing momentum in the U.S. That is propelled in part by the fact that nearly 1 in 7 patients of major surgery wind up being readmitted within 30 days of discharge.
Researchers examined the benefits of six ERAS programs deployed at U.S. hospitals between 2003 and 2015. The data shows that reducing the average length of stay by one day could save a hospital $1,897 in direct variable costs, while a more optimistic three-day reduction in a hospital stay could save about $2,240.
However, the costs of implementing an ERAS program are pretty steep: A hospital that performs 250 colorectal surgeries a year would have to spend $325,000 in the first year and $216,300 a year thereafter for maintenance. For a large program performing more than 500 procedures a year, the cost would be $552,783 in the first year and $356,944 in annual maintenance after that.
But it could be worth the investment. A large program performing 500 procedures a year would save more than $395,000 using such a protocol.
"ERAS programs require initial investments in materials, clinician time and personnel, and capital equipment, which can be difficult for surgeons to justify to their hospital leadership. With the model described in this study, surgeons can plug in their case volumes and current length of stay and cost metrics and determine the potential cost-savings, based on published U.S. studies, they might expect at their hospital," said Elizabeth Wick, M.D., a colorectal surgeon at Johns Hopkins and the study's lead author, in a statement issued by the ACS.
