California-based Shyp was set up to capitalize on the legacy cost structures and operations of traditional logistics companies. Its users snap a photo of the item they want to ship and enter an address, at which point Shyp shows up at their door and takes care of the rest.

I love the quote by the poet Muriel Rukeyser that says, "The universe is made of stories, not atoms." Humans live for stories. We learn from stories at home, school, from friends and also very compellingly at work.
George Howard Putt died in prison sometime last year state prison officials disclosed Wednesday -- far from the brief time he spent in Memphis but never far from the carnage he left behind in the Memphis of 1969.The bodies of the first two of the five people killed by Putt between Aug. 14 and Sept. 11, 1969 were discovered just days after the murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others in Los Angeles by the Manson family dominated national news coverage. Less than a year earlier the Boston Strangler movie was in theaters, creating a sensation about the murders committed by serial killer Albert DeSalvo in Boston just a few years earlier.Bernalyn and Roy Dumas were strangled by Putt in their home in Cooper-Young and Putt mutilated her body in a way that police homicide detectives still wouldn't talk about decades later. The bodies were found in separate rooms.Even with no details other than the names of the victims, the city was quickly spooked by the double murder. So when the body of Leila Jackson was found short of two weeks later, the city's reaction was a palpable fear in which anyone unknown was to be avoided. Memphians didn't tarry after work. They went home and bolted the doors.It got worse as more victims turned up with little in common other than four of the five were women. They were of varying ages. Some were strangled and some were stabbed.Just about any magazine rack of the day include true crime magazines that by the late 1960s were beginning to look very dated in their lurid noir-like covers teasing the most sensational crime narratives of the day.They were an intentional contrast to the cover images of youth in bright colors in natural settings in other magazines heralding a new future and youth culture.The murders in a Southern city, whose 1969 conservatism is hard to describe nearly 50 years later, quickly grabbed the covers of the true crime magazines. And the images they offered spoke to the scenic reality where Putt roamed even as the murders continued.Apartment buildings and boarding houses were the settings for some of the murders but not all.Glenda Sue Harden was last seen walking to her car parked on the Cobblestones from the insurance office she worked at nearby. Her body was found in Martin Luther King/Riverside Park hidden under a piece of plywood.At one of the murder scenes, police found an ice pick stuck in the side of the building with a stocking tied around it.Putt's last victim, in an apartment building on Bellevue, screamed as she was stabbed repeatedly and others in the building gave chase with police close behind, arresting Putt near the new and unopened section of the interstate that runs west of Bellevue.Putt tried to force his way into another apartment nearby but the women inside kept him on the other side of the door.The killer that panicked an entire city was a skinny utterly forgettable guy in his 20s with sideburns and glasses who appeared to have rarely roamed beyond a community of neighborhood bars, boarding houses and old apartment buildings in the Midtown and Medical Center areas.It turns out he came to Memphis after walking away from a prison farm in Mississippi and into a Memphis that was slowly but surely changing. And the world that Putt encountered would soon vanish in large part.Overton Square's incarnation was about a year away. A new bridge was about to be built across the Mississippi River as part of Interstate 40 which was to go through Overton Park just south of the north-south leg of the interstate where Putt was captured.Originally sentenced to death, Putt's sentence was commuted when the U.S. Supreme Court banned the death penalty in the early 1970s.He was serving a 497-year sentence when he died at the Turney Center Wednesday in Only, Tennessee.Putt never sought parole and never gave any explanation for why he killed five people in less than a month and his apparently random selection of victims.
FedEx Corp. founder and CEO Fred Smith never said the word "Amazon," but the e-commerce giant was clearly on his mind Wednesday.
Smith addressed speculation about "industry disruption" by Amazon from the outset of Memphis-based FedEx's quarterly earnings conference call. He also defended the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, noting that both of the frontrunners for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations are opposed to it.
J.R. "Pitt" Hyde III is not Memphis' most famous name across the state of Tennessee. But he is an important name, has a deep and rich story worth telling, and that is exactly the point.
Memphis City Council member Reid Hedgepeth says the body's Tuesday, March 1, vote to give the Memphis Zoo control of part of the Overton Park Greensward was an attempt to "rectify a mistake."
FedEx Corp. has authorized a new share buyback program of up to 25 million shares of the company's common stock.
What is old has become new again. And judging by your reaction to Andy Meek's story on the Kroger plans for online ordering of groceries, what is old has gone viral as well.Here are the basics:You order from a list of items and Kroger fills the order and has it waiting for you to pick up.When you think about the idea of supermarkets, which originated here in Memphis with Piggly Wiggly, it's enough to make the Piggly Wiggly founder himself, Clarence Saunders, spin in his grave.Before he came up with the idea of taking store shelves from behind the counter and putting them out there for you to get your own stuff from them, you would tell your grocer what you wanted and he would write it down on a paper bag and get it for you, wrap it up and present it to you.Saunders changed all of that as you know if you've seen the Pink Palace's child-sized replica of a Piggly Wiggly store from the start of the 20th century.A century later, no paper bags and you can still walk among the shelves if you wish.Perhaps this isn't that extreme. Maybe this is simply a swing of the pendulum, back toward the middle ground.Saunders tried to push it even further with his Keedoozle stores that followed Piggly Wiggly. In those stores, the items were lined up in what amounted to vending machines with shoppers releasing an item from the vertical row with a key.Here Saunders went too far. He mashed the bread.
The number of voices in the technology world convinced that Amazon has stuck a target on the back of FedEx – as well as its larger competitor, UPS – continues to grow.
The latest is Matthew Hertz, director of operations at package shipment startup Shyp. He took to social networking service LinkedIn in recent days to pen a commentary about why Amazon's emergence as a significant logistics alternative appears to be a matter of when, not if.
Football fans in Charlotte, N.C., have had a fun season watching the NFL's Carolina Panthers reel in 15 wins, a near perfect season, and secure the top playoff seed in their conference.
And it could turn out to be quite the edge for the Panthers in their quest to reach the Super Bowl.

Name the earnings conference call this company CEO quote is from: "The success you see today and the opportunities ahead are driven by the strength of our portfolio."
You could be forgiven for guessing it came from a FedEx Corp. call since Fred Smith, founder and CEO of the Memphis-based corporation, frequently speaks of the FedEx "portfolio." He also frequently lectures analysts about the perils of judging FedEx by the performance of one part of the portfolio or looking at the portfolio a piece at a time.

It's a tangible step for a program that finished 8-4, 5-3 in the SEC. And looking back over the schedule at what might have been, the Vols easily could have played for the SEC title or at least already have 10 wins.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John Kasich said Tuesday that his visit to Tennessee is aimed at avoiding having to scramble for support in the state's March 1 primary if he emerges as a strong contender from the earliest contests.
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but depending on who's doing the imitating, it could also represent a major threat.
The latter is the storyline that tends to result from technologically savvy enterprises, big and small, muscling their way into FedEx Corp. territory. The latest competitor whose moves are resulting in a crush of "FedEx might have reason to worry" headlines – Amazon, which is pushing to own more of the so-called "last mile" of the package delivery journey and to also become a package delivery giant in its own right.

Memphis, an Egyptian word meaning a place of good abode; Memphis, a city in Tennessee that lives out the meaning of its name.
What makes Memphis such a good place to live, or to stay for a while, is the multitude of Good Samaritans who are neighbors to those in need. It doesn't matter if those experiencing a crisis live here, or are just staying during a critical time in their lives: There are a multitude of Memphians who will provide that place of good abode for as long as it's needed.

Memphis' geography is limited to roughly 300 square miles, but its identity stretches beyond the city limits, resonating to the far corners of the globe.
The city's brand has obvious cornerstones, such as its place in the nation's cultural topography. But setting aside those no-brainers, like the rock 'n' roll innovator whose mansion in Whitehaven still attracts gawkers from around the world, a lot of what makes Memphis' story is the story of what's made in Memphis.

SINGULAR PERFORMANCE. The White Station Class of 1966, the year ahead of mine, had two Academy Award winners – one you've heard of and one you haven't.

John Vergos, former courageous city council maverick and scion to Rendezvous rib royalty, was in it. Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates was in it.

"You might just be a copywriter," Brick Muller said, staring down at the piece of paper I'd just handed him. On it was an ad idea I'd just pounded out on the 1948 Royal typewriter he was paying me to use as a copywriter. The fact that this was his first recognition that I might be one was gratifying since I'd already been there for nine months.
Cash mobs and MEMshop and angels and mentors and launches – they are all part of an atmosphere in our city that encourages small-business development in the shadow of a historic recession.
FedEx CEO and founder Fred Smith late last year put small-business development and its role in perspective, saying it is large corporations that drive the global economy with many small businesses created in the orbit or supply chain of those large business entities.
IT'S NOT BUSINESS ANYMORE. IT'S PERSONAL. This is our town, and you're not welcome here.
So pack a plane with all your meaningless spin, all your lackeys and suck-ups, all your apologists, all your legal but unethical tactics, all your eye popping price gouging, all your cold and calculated manipulation of lives, your own employees' lives, and a city's pride and get the hell out. There's so much of all of that in the massive fuel dump you just dropped on Memphis that I'm sure it'll take more than one plane to haul it all off and we may never be rid of the stench it's leaving behind.
It's that time of year again. It's that time when journalists across the fruited plain collectively try and make God laugh – with our prognostications, of course, about the year ahead and of what might be.
Memphis-based FedEx Corp. on Wednesday, Dec. 19, reported second quarter net income of $438 million, down 12 percent from last year's $497 million.

There are several ways to measure the magnitude of a college basketball game. First, will the outcome echo through the rest of the season and resonate with the NCAA Tournament Committee come March?
On Dec. 10 FedEx Corp. is expected to have its busiest day in the 40-year history of the global shipping company.

Preference would go to those with the most seniority in their section if more employees in a section accept the offer than there are slots.

The Volt and You
The EPA has released its official mileage ratings for the Chevy Volt, and Dodd is unimpressed:
The woefully limited 35-mile range on battery and mere 37 MPG on gas leaves one wondering what all that hype was really about.
I don't actually care about the Volt all that much, but this is a really common reaction and seems completely misguided to me. No car is designed to appeal to every single person, and the Volt is no exception. It's designed mostly to appeal to a specific kind of driver: someone who does the great bulk of their driving around town, maybe 20 or 30 miles a day at most, but occasionally needs to drive further and doesn't want to buy a second car just for those occasions. There are lots of people like that, and for them the Volt is great. They'll spend 98% of their time running solely on battery power and recharging at night when rates are low, and 2% of their time getting 37 mpg — which is actually pretty damn good. There are a few hybrids that do slightly better and one hybrid (the Prius) that does a lot better, and that's about it.
If you commute a hundred miles a day, the Volt isn't for you. If you're a traveling salesman, it's not for you. If you need to haul around a Boy Scout troop, it's not for you. If you need lots of towing capacity, it's not for you. But that's not a problem. It's not supposed to be for you. It's for people who drive ten miles to work each day, run some errands on the weekend, and drive out to grandma's house once a month. Those folks are going to get pretty awesome fuel efficiency, and they're going to get it with just one car. What's not to like?1
1Answer: the price tag. That's really the car's only serious Achilles' heel. Even after the government rebate, it'll run you around $33,000 for a car that would cost less than $20,000 with a standard engine. Until the price of the car comes down, it's going to be a tough sell for anyone who's not dazzled by its eco-friendliness.

self.instance = construct_instance(self, self.instance, opts.fields, opts.exclude)
however, the cleaned_data might not be good. It is probably good to have a single line inserted before the first line of code of this method:
def _post_clean(self): if self._errors: return ...

I have the same problem with model forms:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User >>> from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserChangeForm >>> user = User.objects.all()[0] >>> form = UserChangeForm({'first_name': 'Vladimir', 'email': 'invalid'}, instance=user) >>> user.first_name u'' >>> form.is_valid() False >>> user.first_name u'Vladimir'
As you can see, this form changes provided instance after validation. This behavior is not expected and I'm considering this as a bug.
Or this is not a bug? Maybe this is a design decision to make it possible to validate form data in the BaseModel.clean_fields method? This is odd for me.
Provided single-line patch in the ticket description isn't taking into account that validation error can be raised later by the model validation, so this is wouldn't fix this problem.

- Needs documentation set
- Summary changed from problem in django.forms.BaseModelForm._post_clean to django.forms.BaseModelForm._post_clean updates instance even when form validation fails
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
The question here is at which point the form is allowed to update the instance. Other tickets are also having problems here for their own reasons (#15995, #16423).
There is a strong argument for doing this while validating since ModelForm actually promises to fully validate the data (form and model). For this the instance needs to be updated.
However, there is case for reminding people that in current workflow validation implies updating the model to independently validate the model; so if anybody can create a patch for the docs explaining this.
Otherwise this will become a DDN and we need to discuss whether a form validation error means the field should not be updated on the model.

Calama is a city and commune in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. It is the capital of El Loa Province, part of the Antofagasta Region. Calama is one of the driest cities in the world with average annual precipitation of just 5 mm.
Close to Calama is the worlds largest copper mine as well as some interesting archeological sites. Everywhere are reminders of the precious metal: copper statues, copper wall-etchings and reliefs, and even a copper-plated spire on the cathedral In 2004 the city also inherited a wave of copper refugees when the entire population of polluted mining town Chuquicamata relocated here.
Some of Calama's top attractions are the Licancabur volcano, Los Flamencos National Reserve, the El Tatio Geysers, Pink flamincos, geyser, Moon valley, archeological findings along with many more natural points of interest. The city itself hosts many museums and educational centers.
Take a guided tour or rent a car and get out on your own. You'll be amazed at what you can find in the driest desert in the world.

ORLANDO, Fla. - For the last three decades, bigger has always been better for buyers of new U.S. homes.
Average home sizes have soared by more than 50 percent since the early 1970s, while the number of people in most households is shrinking.
The latest trends suggest home sizes have almost peaked. But buyers are going to want more features and different designs during the next 10 years, according to housing industry research.
The latest building trends were on display in demonstration houses set up for an annual conference of homebuilders earlier this month in Orlando.
Older adults and different ethnic groups also will play a greater role in housing production.
In 2006, the average home built in America was 2,459 square feet - up from less than 2,000 square feet in the 1980s.
"The average home size has been continuously rising for the last 35 years," Gopal Ahuwalia, a top researcher with the National Association of Home Builders, told industry members at the conference.
"During the same period, the family size has been declining.
"People were buying homes not to meet the functional needs; they called it 'lifestyle,'" Ahuwalia said.
But a new study by the building industry that forecasts home styles during the next 10 years predicts that buyers will finally get enough square footage.
"We think the home size is not going to rise any more," Ahuwalia said. "The size of the home will be between 2,300 and 2,500 square feet by 2015 - it's not going to go up."
Indeed, some designers expect a backlash against the supersized McMansions and 4,000-square-foot houses that dominate many American neighborhoods.
"We will probably see a resurgence of the small house," said Victor Mirontschuk, a New York architect who says rising energy and construction costs will force homebuyers to make do with less room.
He anticipates a boom in demand for high-density urban homes.
"They are being marketed to baby boomers who are going to give up their big homes," Mirontschuk said.
St. Louis architect Barry Glantz said he already sees a glut of big houses in some neighborhoods.
"People will gradually be moving to smaller homes," he said.
But space demands will be higher for Hispanic and Asian families, the researchers say.
"In the next 30 years, more than one in four of the homes will be bought by ethnic groups," Ahuwalia said. "There is a vast difference in size of the household in different groups."
One of the hottest sectors of the housing market during the coming decade won't be traditional first-time buyers.
Instead, a growing number of builders are targeting baby boomers, who they hope will want to trade homes.
"We have a huge market coming," researcher Margaret Wylde told builders. "By 2011, over half of the homes in the U.S. will be owned by someone over the age of 50.
"This is the market that has the money to spend on housing and has a fairly good appetite for it," the Mississippi-based consultant said.
About 56 percent of buyers ages 45 and older said they would be potential candidates for a housing community targeted at older, active adults, Wylde found in a recently completed nationwide study.
Almost a fifth of them want more - not less - floor space than they now have.
"It's amazing how many people want large homes," said Maryland builder Robert Karen, who specializes in new homes for older adults. "We have 9-foot ceilings as a standard and 10-foot as an option."
The most popular floor plans are between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet, Wylde said. But the price tag for that extra room can be a factor.
"They want more square footage, but they don't want to spend any money for it," said Massachusetts builder Ron Bonvie. "The trick of the trade is square footage and price."
Bonvie said builders also find that older buyers are more sophisticated customers than their traditional market.
"You are no longer building a product for that first-time homebuyer who has no clue what they are buying," he said.
Builders also can face an uphill marketing battle with picky boomer buyers.
"The competitor is the home where they are today," said Karen. "They have been there for 30 years and are comfortable.
"They have no reason to move unless you make them want to move," he said.
To do that, builders and developers have to offer goodies you often don't get in a standard, older home.
Top amenities boomer buyers say they want in a new community include walking trails, community swimming pools, dog parks and fitness centers.
"Thirty years ago when we planned an active adult community, we were doing arts and crafts rooms," Karen said. "Today I don't think you can dedicate enough space in a community building to a fitness center."

AbstractAccurate Automation Corporation (AAC) will develop a low-cost trainer based on PC technology. The objective is to provide the U.S. Navy with the ability to readily train personnel to operate unmanned vehicle systems when high-cost training systems and actual control systems are in short supply. This trainer will incorporate 1) a reconfigurable Graphical User Interface (GUI) to simulate the target control station(s), 2) existing simulation tools to provide a realistic representation of the target vehicle, 3) common control and an open networking architecture to provide flexibility and to facilitate future growth, 4) a behavioral Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine, and 5) and video-conferencing tools to provide a good, low-cost training solution. During Phase I, we will plan the development of the system and work with the customer to prioritize our focus on particular features and capabilities. This plan will lead to the development of a prototype training system that covers the Tier 1-3 fixed-wing vehicles, using commercial-grade hardware and basic graphical representations, but with appropriately realistic underlying scenarios and simulations. The result will be that an operator who has been trained with AAC"s product will require substantially less training with high-cost trainers or the targeted real control stations.

I know it's probably a CSS issue, but I've tested a lot of stuff and am clueless on how to properly fix the thing.
Can someone help out with this?
Thanks a lot.

There are a number of suppliers providing small wireless keyfob-based RC relay devices which can be used to add remote control to any project. These units typically require 12V to operate properly. This article explains how to convert one to run on 5V.
Adding a remote control switch to nearly any project is easy with these small keyfob-based RC relays. They are very inexpensive (<$20) and offer such options as MOMENTARY and TOGGLE operation as well as multiple relay channels to control.
However, from what I found, these units require 12VDC to operate properly. This article explains how to convert one to use only 5VDC.
Additionally, a further mod converts this unit to provide a simple non-mechanical logic level, +5V/0v signal to use as an input to a micro-controller input or other circuit. This allows anyone to add a remote control switch capability to nearly any project, even if they don't need to control big loads through a relay.
In this short project I am going to explain the basics of these wireless control devices, explain which sections need to be hacked (changed) and finally how to test the modifications.
Shown here is the PC board with the de-soldered relay removed. Make sure the holes are completely cleaned of solder.
After using these instructions you will be able to convert a 12VDC operated wireless switch to a 5VDC operated one with either a relay or logic level +5V/0V output.

The European Commission's science and knowledge service
People's well-being, industrial competitiveness and the overall functioning of society are dependent on safe, secure, sustainable and affordable energy. The energy sector, covering extraction, production and distribution directly employs in the EU about 1.6 million people and generates an added €250 billion to the economy, corresponding to 4% of value added of the non-financial EU business economy.
In the framework of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy, the European Commission has developed energy security of supply and climate change policies and adopted a number of regulatory measures aiming at introducing low-carbon innovative technologies, which will ultimately impact the market structure of the sector. The EU has also endorsed ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets and accompanying targets for the decarbonisation of the energy sectors.
In this complex policy context, the JRC supports relevant Commission services in designing policies to meet those targets. This is done through the analysis of a wide range of impacts of various policy options and of the most appropriate pathways to achieve the energy and climate change objectives in an economically efficient manner. To this end, the JRC develops, maintains, updates and applies a quantitative toolset consisting of models of distinct scopes and levels of details, which are then exploited in impact analysis for the European Commission.
The JRC provides EU policymakers with a consistent set of scenarios and the resulting analysis of possible developments of the energy sectors under a number of distinct assumptions, illustrating a portfolio of policy options. These scenarios can take into account possible contributions of (innovative) low-carbon energy resources and energy conversion schemes, both on the supply and demand sides. Furthermore, specific attention may be needed to some energy-intensive industries.
Those scenarios form the basis of an analysis of the European energy sector that can hint at the impact of combined or single policy and/or technology options on reducing the primary energy external dependency of the EU, decarbonising the energy sectors, and fulfilling the EU international obligations on environmental protection, including compliance with the Kyoto Protocol and longer term goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Besides the analysis of energy and climate policy options at EU-level, the JRC has tools that allow studying similar questions at global level. These are the cornerstone of the JRC's support concerning international climate protection negotiations that require that the Commission develops its own know-how in projecting carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions at world level.
JRC also assists the Directorate-General for Climate Action with the participation on workshops, conferences, and debates aimed at conceiving, implementing/monitoring environmental policies (climate change) at international, national and sectoral level.
Within this area the JRC also
The JRC develops and manages models to support the energy sector impact assessments and prepare evidence for political decision-makers on the advantages and disadvantages of possible policy options and scenarios.
JRC modelling capacity is used for sectoral models in key areas such as energy. The work also focuses in producing high-quality data needed for the modelling activities. Building a strong base of modelling capacity permits to interface sectoral models and respond to high-level policy challenges.
Some examples of models developed and maintain at JRC are:
As the science and knowledge service of the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre's mission is to support EU policies with independent evidence throughout the whole policy cycle.

After suffering blowout losses yesterday, the Miami Hurricanes and the Texas Tech Red Raiders both plummeted in the Week 11 college football polls.
Miami, which lost to Florida State 41-14, fell seven spots to 14th in the AP, eight spots to 14th in the Coaches, and six spots to 13th in the Harris.
Texas Tech lost to Oklahoma State 52-34 and fell ten spots to 25th in the AP, eight spots to 23rd in the Coaches, and nine spots to 23rd in the Harris.
The Top 6 of the AP Poll and Harris Poll remained the same, while the Top 5 of the Coaches Poll also did not change.
Teams entering the polls this week include Notre Dame (24 AP, 25 Harris) and Arizona State (24 Coaches).
Michigan fell out of all three polls after being thumped by Michigan State 29-6.
Listed below are the complete Week 11 rankings.
AP Poll – Week 11 (Complete Rankings)
Coaches Poll – Week 11 (Complete Rankings)
Harris Poll – Week 11 (Complete Rankings)
Don't know how UCF is stil below Louisville in the USA and Harris polls as UCF beat Louisville 38-35 and followed that win with a dismantling of UConn 62-17.
agreed! If the head to head game result isn't the top indicator of rankings, then what's the point? Also, Miami was smashed by FSU. I don't care how good your opponent is shown to be, but if you lose that game by 27 points, you deserve to drop a little further.
What Dee and Chandler are saying is that common sense should be prohibited. For example should Wake forest pull off an unlikely upset of FSU this week, they have to be ranked higher; even though everyone knows FSU would win that game 98 times out of 100.
Totally agree…. This is why the polls are BS.
I love having 7 undefeated teams in 7 different conferences. Just wish the playoff system was in play this year. Although, if it were, there would still be deserving teams left out (assuming for a moment that they all remained undefeated of course). I so wish it were an 8 team playoff. Some day…
For all the reasons yor mentioned, the present plan won't last long. Just one more round would solve the problems and result in every team starting the season playing for a championship which would be decided on the field. That would make for a nice change.

ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc., Garth Hannum, Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A half mile below the ground at Prudhoe Bay, above the vast oil field that helped trigger construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline, a drill rig has tapped what might one day be the next big energy source.
The U.S. Department of Energy and industry partners over two winters drilled into a reservoir of methane hydrate, which looks like ice but burns like a candle if a match warms its molecules. There is little need now for methane, the main ingredient of natural gas. With the boom in production from hydraulic fracturing, the United States is awash in natural gas for the near future and is considering exporting it, but the DOE wants to be ready with methane if there's a need.
"If you wait until you need it, and then you have 20 years of research to do, that's not a good plan," said Ray Boswell, technology manager for methane hydrates within the DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
The nearly $29 million science experiment on the North Slope produced 1 million cubic feet of methane. Researchers have begun the complex task of analyzing how the reservoir responded to extraction.
Much is unknown but interest has accelerated over the last decade, said Tim Collett, a research geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver.
U.S. operators in Alaska, he said, may want to harvest methane so they can re-injected it into the ground. Crude oil is more lucrative than natural gas, which is routinely injected into North Slope fields to maintain underground pressure to aid in oil extraction. Japan, Korea, India and China, however, want to cut down on natural gas imports by burning methane. Japan is setting up for a production test on a gas hydrate accumulation in the Nankai Trough south of Honshu, its main island.
"That will be the first marine gas hydrate test anywhere in the world," Collett said.
The U.S. Energy Department describes methane hydrate as a lattice of ice that traps methane molecules but does not bind them chemically. They are released when warmed or depressurized.
Methane comes from buried organic matter after it's ingested by bacteria or heated and cooked. The gas migrates upward, under high pressure and low temperature, and can combine with water to form methane hydrate.
Most deposits are below the sea floor off the continental shelf or under permafrost. Shallow pockets of methane hydrate release the potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and that process is exacerbated by climate warming.
Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity said research money should be poured into renewable resources, not more fossil fuel sources. Methane is 20 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2, though not as long-lived.
"Any exploration activities designed to extract methane hydrates run the risk of unintended consequences, of unleashing the monster," he said. Even if methane is extracted safely, burning it will add to climate warming, he said.
The world has a lot of methane hydrate. A Minerals Management Service study in 2008 estimated methane hydrate resources in the northern Gulf of Mexico at 21,000 trillion cubic feet, or 100 times current U.S. reserves of natural gas. The combined energy content of methane hydrate may exceed all other known fossil fuels, according to the DOE.
Not all is accessible, but high concentrations in permeable rock where there's existing drilling infrastructure would be among early candidates for development. The USGS in 2008 estimated 85 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable gas within methane hydrate deposits on Alaska's North Slope.
It will not be simply dug out of the ground, Boswell said.
"One of the basic messages is, we're not mining," he said. "It's using existing drilling techniques."

Does it matter what the "legal" definition is? You're going to get chased out of the water per the discretion of the guards ... I don't think you're going to want to drag a lawyer into something like this, it's going to cost more than the fines or court fees themselves... Either way, if it's not a red-flag day, IMHO the waves probably weren't very good to begin with... at least not good enough for something involving a legal process of any sort.

I don't know how sensitive they are in VB with rogue surfing during prohibitive hours. However, this would be a great step forward in the dissolution of these ludicrous ordinances. They should at least have non-breaking areas roped off for swimming. If you're not even on a boogie board, you shouldn't be hanging out in the surf. I see kids get mauled all the time.

Said this before on this site, but everyone should realize "no surfing areas" and "surfing areas" are in a surfer's best interest. If you were to hit a swimmer with your board and injure them, you would be liable for any damages.
I will argue, along with any surfer, that surfers deserve many more surfing areas, and there should be discretion on where these areas are based on what sandbars are working.
But anyone that criticizes the "no-surfing beaches" just because "they suck" is a fool.
With all that said, you should have a decent argument if you are using a beater board (without fins) in a no surfing zone. Whether you stand up on it, drop-knee, or lay on it shouldn't matter. But because no surfing zones are to protect swimmer's health and the surfer's liability, using foam, finless board should not be an issue.

Had a discussion w/ a lifeguard last year and he said you are considered a swimmer if you are body boarding without swimfins. It was the only time in about 3 years I've had a lifeguard say anything about not having fins. Also, you need to have a leash too.
\nI just got one of the Beater boards (48in) and I think there is a rule in VB about max. length for a bodyboard being 48in. but don't quote me on that. I doubt the guards would even notice the difference between the 48 and 52in models. If you plan on standing up I think the 52in will be a better way to go.
\nI decided on the 48 since if the waves are big enough to stand up and have a little fun the red flags are usually flying and I'll be on my surfboard. For the small stuff I'd rather d![k drag into a few micro tubes than grovel around in some small mush.
\nBut, this past weekend was one of the rare swells where they were actually big enough to surf but no red flags. Still had many hours of fun tooling around on the beater.
\nYou could also paddle out without the fins on the beater and put them in later after the guards notice you are riding one of the finless ones. There easy to put on/off.

In nags head a few years ago the lifegaurd told me if your board is less than 4 feet long you're considered a swimmer regardless of if you're riding a booger with fins. but in KDH it was a different story. so this comment is in fact pointless

wow and i thought jersey sucked.dont u guys have unguarded beaches,or is there a lifeguard every 20 yards?just surf at an unprotected swim at your own risk beach.thats what i do.but the summer traffic makes me stay inside.last saturday,i was going to the wawa up the highway,literally 3 lights from my house.took me 45 minutes.on days like that i stay inside unless i need to get something.my problem with my homestate is the lack of good sandbars.i see no difference between nj,va,obx,and all the other east coast states,except ny because they face south and get better swells than we do.yes it gets epic here,as it does in vb,but if the guards hassle u whats the point?
last summer i remember we had a little windswell,like chest to head high,nothing special.there was 1 other surfer out,whos an old friend of mine.i was expecting a little overhead,but the waves were not that big so i left my board on the beach,and swam out and bodysurfed a few waves.like i said,i wasnt getting in anybodys wave,i was actually further out than the surfer was.all of a sudden 3 lifeguards come running up the beach blowin whistles,im thinken theres a friken shark behind me or something,and they tell me to hop out and swim on the other side of the jetty,where the lifeguard is.so i do as they said,and lol,10 minutes later,another surfer,a few years younger than me,seen the exact same thing i thought and he said hey im gonna bodysurf.so he goes in,gets a little barrel,and lifeguards come hassle him off the beach.
what gets me is,one side of the jetty is for surfers,and u dont have to pay,but if u get kicked out of the surf zone and to the protected beach,they run up to u looking for your beach badge bracelet.pretty retarded if u ask me.i saved more people on my time on the beach,than any lifeguard at every beach iv been to,and iv been to just about every beach in nj/ny area.theres no waves like long island waves,and not the rockaways.theres spots that look like barbados with clear blue water,and offshore sandbars for miles with few people out.thats what i look for,screw those pesky little lifeguards that leave the job labor day to go back to highschool

I can see VeeBee point about no surfing when it's small and only breaking inside. But I could never understand why they ran us out of the water on biggish days. One would think it would be a good idea to have a line of "watermen", sitting on flotation devices, between the touron and Davey Jones locker room.

I'm curious about a beater and have been looking at them for quite some time, how easy are they to stand up on? I'd go with the 54" model and I'm right at the top of their weight range (might have to skip a meal before I use it). I kinda want one for the ability to bodyboard, skimboard, whatever and maybe pop up if I get the chance. I was riding my boy's bodyboard the other day and had a blast. But I'm still a beginner and the shortest thing I've ridden is a 6'6" fish.

Jul 9, 2013, 05:58 PM
I'm definitely over the recommended weight range of the 48in model and I've only had mine a month. I haven't had it out in anything over gutless knee high surf so I haven't had a chance to try anything standing up. But, I never really intended it to be used as another surfboard.

HARRISBURG — John Hanger is now the first declared candidate in the 2014 election for Pennsylvania governor.
The Democrat announced his candidacy Wednesday at Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market and planned to ride in a school bus to the Capitol in Harrisburg for a similar news conference. A third announcement is planned Thursday in Pittsburgh.
The 55-year-old Hanger touted his record as a state utility regulator and the Rendell administration's secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection.
He vows to make education the top priority for state funding and to end Pennsylvania's status as the only major natural gas-producing state that does not tax gas production. He supports gay marriage and legalizing marijuana for medical purposes.
Several other Democrats also are considering challenges to Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's planned re-election bid.

French Open Defends Change of Balls as Nadal Raises Concerns
French Open organizers have backed the tennis balls used at this year's clay-court Grand Slam amid complaints by players.
Second-ranked Novak Djokovic said the balls made by Lyon, France-based Babolat for the Paris tournament are harder to handle because they bounce higher and move faster through the air than those supplied last year by Dunlop.
Dunlop balls were used in this year's main warm-up clay court tournaments in Rome, Madrid and Barcelona. Top-ranked Rafael Nadal of Spain said changing balls makes it hard for players' bodies to adapt.
"We are convinced that we have the exact same ball as last year," French Open tournament director Gilbert Ysern told a small group of reporters today. "We clearly asked Babolat to produce the exact same ball as the one we had last year."
Ysern said the new balls may be playing differently because of dry weather in France.
Nadal said that, while they suit his style of play, he isn't used to them. He overcame John Isner of the U.S. yesterday in his first five-set match at Roland Garros, the French Open venue.
"I only practiced four or five days, six days with this ball after one month and a half or one month playing with another ball," Nadal said. "The feeling is something very important in tennis. From the outside it is sometimes difficult to see. But from inside for the players, it is something dangerous for the shoulders, for everything."
Warm-Up Events
Ysern said he would like to see the same type of ball being used in the warm-up clay court events.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't depend on us," Ysern said. "Every tournament decides what balls they want to play with. Unfortunately, we cannot decide that Rome or Madrid, or any other tournament play with the same balls as we do."
Dunlop said in a press release yesterday that it is "impossible for another manufacturer to replicate the finished product."
The Paris tournament made the switch to a new ball partly because it had more faith in Babolat promoting its trade mark, Ysern said.
"We were a little bit disappointed by our previous partner in promoting our trademark, Roland Garros, all over the world," he said. "Babolat told us they had the ability to do that."

A driver who struck and killed three women outside a Voorheesville church is now charged with criminally negligent homicide.
Luann Burgess was indicted Wednesday by a grand jury, almost a year to the day after the August 10, 2011 fatal crash.
It comes two days after my colleague Bryan Fitzgerald reported there had been no action on the case.
An Albany County grand jury indicted Burgess on charges of criminally negligent homicide, vehicular manslaughter and aggravated vehicular homicide.

Third zombie-related VGA teaser image looks Prototype-related
A third VGA zombie-related teaser has shown up, and it's looking more like the Activision teaser Murder Your Maker, a sequel to the 2009 open-world superhero game Prototype.
"We're here to help" reads the image, along with: "Don't ever leave the green zone!", and "3 of 3."
The picture also shows a solider holding a little one's hand.
The first image released had the internet thinking it was Left 4 Dead related. Image 2 had it thinking it was a Resident Evil game.
Come December 11, we'll know for certain once the VGAs go live.
Thanks, Eurogamer.

It was a quiet moment last week when I stumbled upon this hidden relic of sorts. As I unpacked the papers of my writing desk, I found an old email correspondence written many years ago between myself and another person. To say our relationship was dysfunctional is a great understatement, even though it took me years to understand how bad it truly was. I browsed over the conversations and was struck with terror at how truly awful and unhealthy our relationship had been. This print-out contained paragraphs of my attempts to build up the self-esteem of an adult who had chronic depression and was extremely emotionally needy and unstable. Our relationship was out of balance. I continued reading and realized I had spent, no, wasted, so many years of my life trying to help this person, even to the point of telling them what they wanted to hear when it wasn't the truth. Oh, that's so painful to say! I took up a burden that was not my own. I thought it was my responsibility to fix certain people in my life, and in fact, I had been told to an extent that it was my job and Christian duty.
What I didn't see until I found these papers was that I had spent out all of my energy trying to help someone I couldn't and shouldn't have helped. When others choose to stay in pits of their own making, you can't make them get out. And you CANNOT get in there with them! Then you'll both be stuck! And that is what happened to me. Instead of using my energy to heal and live a peaceful life, I was using it to keep dysfunctional people living in their dysfunction. I had wasted years trying to take responsibility to fix the poor choices of my family and, at times, friends too. I could not take away the decisions and actions they chose, the consequences that resulted and how they felt about themselves afterwards. In the end, I ended up depleted in every way and had nothing left to give to my own family and loved ones.
The more disturbing issue in all this was Read More
