22.05.2006 - Oris becomes partner of Carlos Coste
The Swiss watch manufacturer Oris has sealed a three-year partnership contract with world-record diver Carlos Coste and is launching a special series of mechanical divers' watches under his name.
That means the 30-year-old free-diver from Venezuela, who regularly breaks records for apnea free-diving without oxygen equipment, has become a champion of the Oris brand.
In 2003, Carlos Coste was the first person to reach the magic depth of -100 m in free-diving and was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records. In 2004 he dived up to -135 m in the discipline of variable weight and to –102 m in constant weight.
On 9 May 2006 the Venezuelan broke the world record in the variable weight class of free-diving again, reaching a depth of -140 m. Oris congratulates Coste on this remarkable achievement.

Actelion receives recommendation to file for US market approval
Allschwil – The FDA's Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee has recommended (10 for, 3 against) approval for Actelion's miglustat for the treatment of children and adults with Niemann-Pick Type C disease(NP-C), a fat storage disease that is accompanied by progressive neurological manifestations. The decision is based on extensive results from clinical trials in related lysosomal storage disorders. Since last year Zavesca(R) has already been available for European patients with NP-C disease. The drug is also indicated in the US, the EU, and other countries for the oral treatment of adult patients with mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease for whom enzyme replacement therapy is unsuitable, or when it is not a therapeutic option. The FDA decision for the supplemental new drug application is expected for March 2010.

A master's degree in business administration and a degree in law provide a unique and powerful combination for effective leadership in either field. North Carolina Central University offers a joint program that allows students to complete both degrees in less time that it would take to earn them separately. (Five vs. Four years) In order to be admitted to the program, a student must first be admitted to the Law school and then apply to the School of Business.
To earn both degrees a student has to complete a minimum of 88 semester hours in the School of Law and 33 hours in the School of Business. Note: Nine semester hours of graduate level business courses will meet the elective requirements for the law degree and nine semester hours of law courses will satisfy the elective credits for the MBA. For more information, students should contact the School of Law (Professor Reginald Mombrun).
See also: Law School.
This program allows students to simultaneously pursue the Master of Business Administration Degree and the Master of Information Science Degree (MIS) in less time than is required to earn them separately. To be admitted to the program a student must first be admitted to the MBA program and then apply to the MIS program. The MBA admission criteria are sufficient for the MIS program; therefore, no additional application materials or standardized tests are necessary. Completing the program requires a minimum of 48 semester hours and, generally, two calendar years including summer sessions. For more information, students should contact both the MBA office and the MIS program (Professor Deborah Swain).

Life with an Android Tablet One Week On
I've had my Asus Transformer tablet for approximately one week now. I have endeavoured to use it fairly constantly and as my sole means of computing. It has worked to varying degrees of success. After the first couple of days, I discovered that if I actually wanted to achieve anything, I needed a proper keyboard. To that end, I have ordered the keyboard docking station for the Transformer, and I am also writing this post on my three year old netbook.
A word of warning though about the Transformer docking keyboard – buy the package of tablet and keyboard to start with! This only attracts a £50 premium over the tablet alone. Buying the docking keyboard separately has set me back almost £120. I purchased from Amazon and couldn't find cheaper on eBay, Google's shopping results nor Tottenham Court Road (where it was not possible to buy the keyboard as a standalone item). I'll live and learn.
There are both good and bad points about this Honeycomb 3.1 tablet. Let's start with the good.
The Gmail integration is stellar. It is a much better Gmail experience that I have ever had through a regular web browser. I suppose this is as you would expect from a tablet running Google's Android operating system.
The tablet is great for having around on the coffee table, on the train, in bed etc. It's very easy to simply pick it up to check email, read a website or research something of interest.
The "instant on" aspect, with massive hours of standby battery time, is much better than any laptop I've ever experienced.
Now for the frustrations….
There is another built in mail client, which can be used to connect to both IMAP and Exchange email servers. Unfortunately this has some limitations that frustrate me when trying to deal with business email. There's no search functionality, it is only possible to synchronise up to one month of email from the server, it is impossible to create an HTML or Rich Text email signature and I also can't figure out how to synchronise IMAP calendars (Exchange calendar works fine though).
The standard web browser is buggy and crashes regularly. I haven't thoroughly tested, but I also think it may have a memory leak. Over time it simply slows down to a grinding halt. Using the back button to return to a Google search result often loads just a blank page and sometimes after entering a website's URL, I am simply re-directed to Google's search homepage. This browser has a user agent of "Android Tablet," however many websites simply see this as "Android" and deliver a mobile version of their offering. I can change the user agent to "Desktop" instead, but that also creates a few rendering problems. Opera Mini and Firefox Mobile don't seem to have this option, and thus you're stuck with mobile webpage versions in some cases. I'm now trying the Dolphin HD browser. One would think, that with an excellent browser in Chrome/Chromium Google would have this area sorted out.
Some apps from the Market are OK, but it's a bit hit and miss. Many of them are built only for Android phones, so don't render brilliantly on the wider tablet screen. I haven't bought any apps yet, as I haven't found anything so compelling to warrant a purchase. I have found some nice free apps though, such as MapQuest's OpenStreetMaps and FBReader for ebooks (I grabbed a lot of classics from Project Gutenberg).
The on-screen touch keyboard is reasonable, but still has some frustrations. For some reason at least 10% of the time my space bar presses do not register. There are also no forward and back arrows. The only way to jump to another part of the text is through very delicate and precise touches on the screen. This might improve when I have a mouse connected to the docking keyboard's USB port, but for now so much for keyboard navigation. There's also no Control key, which makes cutting, copying and pasting laborious.
I can't find any virtualisation software for Android either, which I wanted to use to run a different flavour of Linux. Maybe I can do do something via dual booting, from a USB key in the docking keyboard. That will be the next project.
In summary, after a week's solid use, I can't see this being my sole computing device. I'm just not sure Android's mature enough. It's a good enough device, which I am sure I will continue to use regularly, but it is not the one device to rule them all.
Bought my First Tablet – Asus eee Pad Transformer
Finally I've joined the millions and purchased a tablet computer. Of course it was never going to be an iPad, and it didn't necessarily have to be an Android based machine either. After much research and consideration, I've decided to go for an 10-inch Asus eee Pad Transformer. Why this one in particular?
My current situation is that I have a fairly new HP Pavilion dv7 as my daily work computer. While it's a nice brushed aluminium shelled machine, it is quite big with it's 17-inch screen and it is LOUD! The fan never shuts up. It's currently running Linux Mint Debian edition, and I've tried everything to try and keep the temperature down, thus negating the need for constant fan blowing. I've had no luck so far. I also work in multiple locations, from my home office, to my central London office, to various client's offices and finally quite often in Graz, Austria. Hauling this 17-inch behemoth around can be quite taxing at times. It means I always have to carry a reasonably big piece of hand luggage when flying to Graz, and even just on the train into central London, my backpack is pretty heavy. Therefore, my dream was to try and find a tablet that could be substituted for for my laptop as my daily work machine.
I don't do much heavy lifting with my laptop anymore, in terms of transcoding video files and the like, therefore I don't need a massively powerful i7 processor. I do a lot of web browsing, email writing, document creation, spreadsheet manipulation, presentation creation and still image manipulation. Pretty straightforward office type stuff. However, I do appreciate a large screen and decent keyboard. I already have a 10-inch Asus eeePC netbook, which is about 3 years old now. It does a decent job, but I found it difficult to work all day on it, and the single core Atom processor struggled with HD movie playback.
So my plan was to find a tablet that could be plugged into an external monitor at home, at my London office and in Graz. I realise purchasing said monitors will increase overall costs, but it's the trade-off I was prepared to make for not having to carry around a massive laptop.
Asus Transformer ticks many boxes. It has a high quality IPS screen, the same as the iPad 2. It comes with Android 3.0 Honeycomb as standard. It has a built in mini-HDMI port, which means I can connect it to a larger screen quite easily should the need arise. It includes a memory card expansion slot, as is the case with most modern tablets. There is also an optional keyboard docking station, which includes its own battery, extending the overall battery life for this tablet to around 16 hours.
On the negative side, Asus has seen fit to include a proprietary charger, not the usual micro-USB found on most modern phones and many tablets.
I found that Currys in the UK were selling the Asus eee Transformer at prices around about the same as those found on eBay. Brilliant, I could have my new toy immediately. Picture the scene as I walk into my local Currys….
Sales Assistant: Can I help you, Sir?
Me: Yes, I'm looking for an Asus Transformer
Sales Assistant: Oh, I don't think we sell them.
Me: It's on your website and it says you have them in stock.
Sales Assistant: Let me just check with my colleagues. <time passes> No Sir, unfortunately we don't sell them.
Me: I see.
At this point I wander around the shop for a while, until I find the general tablet display section. As I stand looking…..
Sales Assistant (same one as previously): Are you interested in a tablet device, Sir?
Me: Yes, I have already asked you about an Asus Transformer, but you couldn't help me.
Sales Assistant: Oh, it's a tablet?
Me: <incredulous> Yes.
Sales Assistant: Well, let me just go and check in our stock system. <2 minutes later> Good news, Sir, we have them in stock for just £379.
Me: That's without the keyboard docking station. Do you have them for £429 with the docking station, as on your website?
Cutting a longer conversation short, no they did not have them with the docking station. I made them check twice. Ultimately I bought the tablet without the docking station, thinking I will pick one up later as they're only an extra £50. How wrong I was. Once back at home and online, I discovered that as a standalone product, the docking station cannot be found anywhere for less than £100. I think buying the tablet without the docking station was my first mistake, but at least I will have the chance to assess whether an external keyboard is really a necessity.
Hopefully in the next week or 10 days I will be able to post an update regarding how this machine is working out as my primary day-to-day computing device.
Blackmagic Media Express Failure
About one month ago I posted that we are now using a Blackmagic Decklink SDI card to capture via SDI in some workflows at The Station. Unfortunately it became clear quite quickly that the Media Express 2.3.1 software we were using, for capturing and controlling the decks, had some shortcomings.
Apparently the Linux version of this software does not support capture of VITC information where present. This made creating valid IMX50 (D10) files harder than it needed to be. We would capture the SD content from tape into 10-bit uncompressed at 720×576, then when transcoding using FFmbc, we needed to pad the top of the file with 36 lines of blanking, to create a valid IMX50 at 720×608. This process caused a few problems with the resulting files' aspect ratio information.
After speaking with the support staff ot Blackmagic Design, it became clear the the Windows and Mac versions of Media Express 2.3.1 do support capture of VITC, just not the Linux version. The relevant API calls are exposed in the freely available SDK, but we would need to build our own application to take advantage of this.
My next hope was that the new version of Media Express would include this additional functionality on Linux. On April 11th 2011, Blackmagic published a press release stating that Media Express 3.0 would be available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The software would be available for free download from their website in June.
Today I went searching for the software but could not find it. Looking on the Blackmagic software download page, the latest Desktop Video download for Linux is 8.0.1 from May 13th, 2011. Clearly this would not include the new 3.0 version, as this file is what I downloaded a month ago to obtain version 2.3.1.
I phoned Blackmagic support again to enquire about where to find Media Express 3.0. They informed me that a beta version of this software was available for Mac platforms, but that was all. They were also unable to speculate regarding a formal release date for the software, nor whether the Linux version would be available at the same time as the Windows and Mac version. All in all, not very helpful.
June finished 21 days ago. I want my Media Express 3.0 software for Linux!

A Dozen Furies Into Another Life Lyrics
Last updated: 05/25/2006 12:00:00 PM
And you could be the one,
And this could be an ending to us and our world,
Yeah you could be the one,
Yeah you could be the one,
And this could be an ending to us and our world,
Force me your sacred scripture,
To have changed me back this far now,
Our worlds have the habit to fall,
What I did was try to break yours down,
Yeah you could be the one,
Position not afflicted,
Send in the conqueror,
Send in the death of my beliefs,
If all we've ever known turned out to be a misery,
That's all we'd have, yeah,
Behold the bitterness and everything we leave,
To think that I'm gonna see you,
And it could be a war possessed with all this weakness,
Send down the conqueror that can transport all like its off into a new world,
If all we've ever known turned out to be a bit unreal,
Or maybe, make believe,
Its all we ever need,
A story to believe,
And that's all we have,
We wake into another time,
We wake within another life,
We wake another time,
Into another life,
Into another life.

Yup, just one, after about an hour of looking in the vicinity of this hotspot in the Forest of Dean. The sighting was hardly fab, the bird perching way up on top of a conifer. At first, it could have been a chaffinch, its wing bar being the only obvious field mark. Then the bird turned straight on to me and the huge pale face, i.e. its bill really, made it all hawfinch.
I tried to get closer and steady myself on a tree branch but in the time it took, the bird had flown. Ah well, now that I know where to go, there will be other and better views. Apparently, the whole area, including RSPB Nagshead, is likely for them, as well as goshawks. That's good: I failed utterly to find New Fancy View.
Although year bird 126, the hawfinch, rather more amazingly, took my Gloucestershire list to 133. From 129. What else had I found at Parkend to do this? A brambling, two crossbills and a flock of siskins. Just how siskins have evaded that list so long is a mystery. Mind you, they evaded Somerset pretty long too. Does that say something about this region?

Have you been Robbed of Real Thanksgiving? Here's an Idea.
(Aussie reds, Italy's Big Guns and Thanksgiving Wines)
The October 2nd release is chalk full of good wines, just in time for Thanksgiving. But remind me again what are we giving thanks for? Ah yes, the harvest. If you're feeling contemplative, pour a glass of the superb meditation wine from one of the last great iconoclasts, Giuseppe Quintarelli, the 2001 VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE DOC $84.95, and come along.
It would seem this quintessentially North American holiday is a relic of the past for most city dwellers, who, like me, are about as connected to the harvest as they are to the oil wells that ultimately fill their gas tanks. Ah! What it must have been like for early settlers to scrape by throughout the year, living off of meager seasonal offerings or preserves, with no mid-winter Peruvian asparagus, Mexican tomatoes or Argentine pears to see them through until the sun returned. By early summer, the hunger for something fresh, something different, the yearning for another colour to shatter the monochromatic monotony of the day-to day menu must have grown as intense, as urgent as thirst in the desert. And in the old world, no stranger to feast and famine, the nearly empty barrels of wine would by now have turned to a piquant, foul liquid redolent of dead fruit and vinegar. Oh the longing for a glass of fresh and cool nouveau wine!
And then, finally the end of summer would draw near, foretold by the massive, glowing harvest moon, promising the long-awaited time when the fields would finally offer up their sustenance un-begrudgingly: a sudden riot of flavours, textures, nutritional elements. It must have been a time of hard physical labor that seemed like no work at all, as every joyful harvester relished the certainty that each bead of sweat and each tired muscle fiber promised a banquet of unequaled proportions, when the community would gather to celebrate another successful year in the cycle of life and survival. How fine that pumpkin, how sweet that corn, how nourishing that turkey must have tasted!
In a strange, even selfish way, especially as I sip the dense and brooding, volcanic 2006 D'ANGELO AGLIANICO DEL VULTURE DOC $18.95, I feel robbed of that intense delight, the inimitable pleasure that can derive only from acute privation followed by temporary satisfaction, made all the more sweet by the awareness of yet more privations ahead. The super-abundance of North American society steals away that pleasure from us, at least from me, a guy who spends most of his life eating and drinking. It's embarrassing. Thanksgiving becomes yet another gathering, another big meal, another glass of great wine, another cause for stress for the calorie and blood-pressure-conscious. There's arguably equal monotony in excellence as there is in mediocrity; just look at all of those unhappy individuals who want for nothing yet still crave more. Instead of easing hunger and feeding our families the greatest concern becomes finding the ideal wine match for turkey, or cranberry sauce, or whatever you traditionally serve at your Thanksgiving table. What a thought!
So there. I've just resolved to forego wine, in order to restore, even if artificially, what good fortune has stripped from me. A day without wine. I can do it. Just one last glass of the fine value, textbook, 2009 ROUX PÈRE & FILS MÂCON-VILLAGES BLANC AC $13.95. Then after a pause I can get back to the serious enjoyment of eating and drinking and giving thanks.
I'll look forward to harvest table loaded with a huge range of flavours, textures, condiments and secret family recipes. I won't stress about which wine, which dish, which guest, which hour. My approach will be to open a bunch of wines, as varied as the spread, and share with my community. But it won't be just any haphazard collection of wines. This will be a celebration of once-a-year wines. I can't think of a better time to have something that you don't have any other time of the year – a real treat. They will be wines that remind me of honest, hard labor, traditional values, of tradition itself, made by hard-working wine growers who's lively-hood and that of their families depend on the success of a once-a-year harvest event. They will also be wines from unique places, where great wine is made only because nature intended it to be so, not because we've figured out how to game the system.
In other words, my special Thanksgiving offerings won't include wines from irrigated deserts or made from modified vines imported for industrial production. They won't be wines that taste like they could come from anywhere, like hydroponic lettuce or January strawberries. They won't be from multinational, publicly-traded companies who's eyes are fixed on quarterly profits instead of waxing and waning moons, or wines made by absentee hobbyists-owners who got into the business because they like the lifestyle, or at least the idea of it, without having to actually do any of the work themselves. There will be wines like the 2005 BAROLO $44.95 from hands-on perfectionist PAOLO SCAVINO, or the 2006 WYNNS COONAWARRA ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON Coonawarra, South Australia $24.95, with a half century's worth of fine vintages to prove its worthiness.
The rest of the wines can be saved for the rest of the year when we return to the reality of living the privileged modern life. Thanksgiving for me will be a time to remember the past, to remember how lucky we are, to remember the people both past and present who really do give thanks at harvest, and to be grateful.
Ok, enough flimsy philosophy and on to some solid practical Thanksgiving drinking guidelines:
Primo: The main consideration for Thanksgiving dinner is drinkability: this means wines that are basically dry, lower in tannins and alcohol, higher in acid, and minimally oaked, if at all. After all, these are not short, school night-type dinners-on-the-go. You'll be hanging about in the home's epicenter, the kitchen, while the hosts (or you) are busily preparing away, sipping on something fresh and crisp. This could last for hours, since it's virtually impossible to get a large, multi-dish meal on the table on time unless you're a Cordon Bleu chef. Even Bourdain has to stop for a smoke break once in a while. So you don't want to bludgeon the palate with saliva-choking tannins and head-spinning alcohol right off the top. Think 2009 DR. LOOSEN DR. L RIESLING QbA Mosel $13.95 or 2009 QUINTA DOS CARVALHAIS DUQUE DE VISEU WHITE DOC Dão $12.95.
Secondo: Free yourself from the paralyzing distress of finding perfect matches. Loads has been written about the ideal match for Roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, salads, desserts and everything else that is traditionally served at Thanksgiving, giving the spurious impression that such a thing as perfection exists and should be sought. Given this huge range of flavours, what sommelier-genius could possibly find a wine or two that works perfectly across the board? I believe the more versatile the better (see above), and the better the wine, the more thanks you'll give. Now pass the sweet potatoes and fill my glass.
Terzo: Early evening wines to get chilling include the likes of riesling, un or lightly oaked chardonnay, gruner veltliner, chenin blanc, pinot and gris/grigio from places north of the 40th. If all of your WineAlign followers are coming for dinner then you'll want to bring out something a little more cutting edge like falanghina or fiano from Campania in Italy, assyrtiko or moscophilero from Greece, albariño from Spain or Portugal, dry furmint from Hungary, or perhaps sparkling wine from Luxembourg, if only to show that you do read our stuff once in a harvest moon.
Quarto: When it's time to shift into red, the grapes/regions that come to mind as naturally as sunrise brings the thought of coffee include barbera from northern Italy, traditional-style sangiovese from central Italy, pinot noir from cooler zones (Canada, Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand), vibrant, soft and fruity Spanish reds based on tempranillo, spicy, suave grenache-based southern Rhône reds, herbal and peppery Ontario or Loire Valley cabernet franc, or maybe a plush, sensibly-proportioned malbec from Mendoza. From this release consider: 2008 GEMMA LANGHE ROSSO DOC $13.95, 2007 TRAPICHE BROQUEL CABERNET SAUVIGNON Mendoza $15.95, or the 2008 COLDSTREAM HILLS PINOT NOIR Yarra Valley, South Australia $29.95.
Insider's wines to consider include reds from Mt. Etna, Sicily, or nebbiolo from the Valtellina north of Milan, elegant versions of blaufränkisch from central Europe, Dâo reds from central Portugal and mencia-based reds from Bierzo, northern Spain. More structured wines with several year's time in the cellar can be a real treat, too. All of these wines share a common theme of juicy acid or mellow tannins, and spicy berry flavours that are sort of like cranberry sauce being passed around the table. Give these a slight chill, and you can sip, in moderation, all night long, while gratitude is expressed and the conversation flows.
There is a long list of top scoring wines in the October 2nd release, from the twin themes of Aussie Reds and Italy's Big Guns, as well as in the Top Ten Smart Buys. At the top of the heap is the astonishingly good 2007 ORNELLAIA DOC Bolgheri Superiore $179.95. But if you don't want to give quite that much thanks, pick a few favorite grapes/regions/producers, and search our database for the best wines that you can afford for your Thanksgiving celebration.

Yesterday Isabella had:
Breakfast: daddy made porridge, a banana and a tup of tea
Lunch: scrambled eggs on toast, satsuma
Dinner: roast beef, yorkshire pudding, mustard mash, roasties, honey roast sweet potato, roast parsnip, peas and green beans. Yoghurt and blueberries afterwards.
Water throughout day.
Today Isabella had:
Breakfast: Daddy made porridge and chocolate from advent calenders. Banana waiting for porridge to cook.
Lunch: Half a french stick in sainsburys (helped herself from trolley and gnawed at it all way round) then when we got home I buttered her some with cheese, ham and grapes.
Dinner: I made her fish fingers, roasted sweet potato chunks and garden peas but she told me to put it in the bin, went to pass it me and it all fell on the floor. So she had two cups of water instead and no pudding.
Today we've been a bit naughty!
Breakfast - 2 Weetabix and lots of milk.
Lunch - Tuna sandwiches, plus half of mine , a couple of crisps, a yoghurt and a mini packet of chocolate buttons.
Tea - Half a slice of pepperoni pizza, lots of sweetcorn and a few chips (which he ignored as usual) followed by 2 more strawberry yoghurts and half a banana.
My son is addicted to yoghurts!

Biofuels Digest
Ethanol the champagne of fuels?
Drop-in fuels all the rage? Not smart, says Coskata CSO Rathin Datta, ethanol is the champion for biomass-based fuels.
In Washington DC later this month, at the DOE's Biomass 2011 annual conclave, Rick Wilson, the CEO of Cobalt Technologies, and Wes Bolsen, CMO of Coskata, will engage in a formal debate over the motion: "Federal funding for biofuels should focus primarily on the development of infrastructure-compatible, hydrocarbon fuels."
There has been quite a lot of press in recent years around the development of "drop-in fuels" – from articles like 2009′s "Drop In, Tune Out, Turn On" to the coverage of recent DOE funding of consortia like the NABC that are pursuing infrastructure-compatible fuels.
But Coskata has been on the warpath of late to remind the industry, and the broader stakeholders in a future beyond fossil fuels, about why ethanol fuels were developed in the first place, and why they should be considered a superior alternative to drop-in hydrocarbons, when refining fuels from biomass.
At the end of last month, Coskata CSO Rathin Datta didn't exactly descend into the lion's den, when choosing to present this strongly positive view on ethanol at the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Indianapolis. It's sort of like praising Cal Ripken Jr. in the friendly confines of Camden Yards.
But if the venue was unsurprising, the message was unexpectedly strong. Rather than describing ethanol as one of a group of preferred fuels – Datta took the view – along with a group of co-presenters from General Motors and Auburn University – that ethanol should be considered "the primary renewable liquid fuel". Though too polite to say it, he leaves us to draw the obvious conclusion that all the companies making renewable gasoline can go home now.
So, which is better – ethanol, or drop-in fuels?
Here's the main thrust of the Coskata view: "For liquid fuel or chemical production from lignocellulosic biomass, the winning strategy is to produce a product that has proven and widespread use, with the highest yield – that is ethanol."
Let's examine that. Their analysis shows that around 40 percent of the weight of lignocellulose – whether it is woods, stover, energy canes or grasses – is in the oxygen.
Knocking those feedstocks down to hydrocarbons, inevitably lowers the yields in terms of available energy for combustion.
How much? According to the Coskata presentation, ethanol refining will produce theoretical yields in the 51 percent range, with 46 to 50 percent typically achieved in an industrial process. They contents that biobutanol yields are theoretically in the 41 percent range with "typical yields achieved" in the 23-25 percent range.
(Hmmm, we suspect that Gevo, Cobalt and Butamax are doing better than this, but we'll let it pass for now.)
Over on the hydrocarbon side, their contention is that theoretical yields from biomass are in the 30 percent range, with not much data to date on the yields achieved in industrial practice because the fuels are not yet produced at scale.
What does that mean?
According to this analysis, if you can get, say, 100 gallons per acre of ethanol, you would be looking at around 40 gallons per acre of hydrocarbon fuels, or around 50 gallons of biobutanol.
Now, biobutanol and hydrocarbon fuels contain more energy than ethanol on a per gallon basis – but, in the end, according to Coskata – you net more BTUs per acre with ethanol, and that should be the criteria for selecting a primary liquid fuel for transportation in a post-fossils era. Quod erat demonstrandum.
They contend:
1. Renewable biomass feedstocks that are efficiently and easily available are highly oxygenated
2. Ethanol is the primary renewable liquid transportation fuel with a long history of very good performance
3. Ethanol can be produced with high yields and efficiency with some conversion technologies – particularly the "Hybrid" of gasification with bioconversion – that have developed to the commercial implementation stage
4. Longer chain alcohols, lipids or hydrocarbons cannot be derived from renewable carbon sources with equivalent yields
5. Large quantities of renewable and sustainable biomass feedstocks to produce ethanol are available in the US and many other parts of the world.
It's a powerful argument.
So, why drop-in fuels, anyway?
But now, let's turn to the reasons the nation is looking at drop-in fuels, and see how ethanol stacks up.
Ethanol can't use existing infrastructure – no one wants to build, or can afford, all those blender pumps, flex-fuel cars and pipe-lines.
Well, this is the driving reason to use a drop-in hydrocarbon fuel, isn't it? Why rebuild the infrastructure? Blender pumps are expensive – maybe $30,000 a pop – and with all the flex-fuel manufacturing in the US, there are still around 8 million flex fuel cars out of a total US fleet of 300 million – which makes it difficult for a retailer to justify putting in a blender pump anyway.
Coskata responds with an interesting point. Pumps don;t last forever – they need to be replaced anyway, just around once every 10 years – why not simply replace a standard pump with a blender pump? That way, the conversion cost is absorbed into the normal capital replacement schedule. By 2022, you have blender pumps in broad distribution.
Should US manufacturers continue their commitment to, say, 50 percent or more of their fleet being flex-fuel enabled – by 2022, using a 17-year replacement cycle for the US fleet, perhaps as much as 33 percent of the fleet could be flex-fuel enabled, without changing the game on manufacturers.
Ethanol has hit a blend wall at E10 – E15 is a tough sell, and E85 is a bust – how is the fuel ever going to get used? Plus, E85 costs more per mile than hydrocarbon fuels.
E85 really hasn't done all that well – a handful of pumps, nationally, less than 1 percent of fueling stations carry them, and the per-pump gallonage has been as dismal as could be expected with so few flex-fuel cars available.
One of the reasons that E85 has acquired a bad reputation is the mileage. A good part of that stems from the fact that engines are designed around E0 – that's the reference fuel used to calculate mileage on the window sticker (that's right, the EPA bases mileage on a fuel you can't buy).
Now, engines can be programmed to sense 85 percent ethanol, and can be programmed to "handle" the fuel. But the real advantage of ethanol is in its high octane – 105 vs around 82 for straight gasoline – and the payoff there is that engines can run higher compression, when run on ethanol.
Higher compression, higher engine efficiency – in fact, a Ricardo engine running E100 gets almost the same mileage from ethanol as you get from gasoline – no 25 percent drop-off – that's the value of compression.
The problem here? Flex-fuel cars do not mean flexible compression. That's fixed – and fixed for E0.
Coskata's goal? Make E30 the reference fuel for mileage comparison purposes, and design engine compressions that are optimized for E30. E10 will run fine, E15 too. Meanwhile, you start to pick up some of that engine efficiency from better compression, and that means no loss of mileage at E30.
That gives you a blender pump choice between, say, E10, E15 or E30. AT E30, says Coskata, you'll get the best deal, and that opens up a market of around 40 billion gallons of ethanol in the US, over that 10-year pump replacement cycle.
Will all of that happen? Good question. But certainly an interesting argument worth thinking through.
Diesel fuels are the way to go for trucks and heavy equipment.
Well, that's a good market for drop-in hydrocarbon fuels, although biodiesel producers may well make the same arguments about the yields and costs for biodiesel vs drop-ins that ethanol is making on the gasoline replacement side.
What about the military, or aviation? They don't want to use ethanol – only drop-in fuels. Doesn't the customer rule?
In aviation, the fuel density and cold performance of ethanol makes it a non-starter. Although its worth noting that the military has an alcohol-to-jet fuel program underway, and there may be an argument, when all the data is in, that a highly efficient way to produce jet fuel is to start by producing an alcohol fuel. It's early days.
As for the military, they are a diesel market and jet fuel, generally speaking – so, for sure, their options will focus on those sources – and the drop-in fuels certainly solves infrastructure issues for capital-starved airlines and the debt-pressed governments.
Ethanol gets less mileage – isn't range important?
Sure, range is important.
Of course, some of the people who are bagging on ethanol because you get around 250 miles to the tank on E85, will tell you that plug-in electrics, which get 50-100 miles per multi-hour charge, are the wave of the future.
In general, let's go back to that E30 concept. With an engine compression that's tuned for E30, there's no material loss in mileage, or range.
One last one – shouldn't we be building electrics, if we want to really, really focus in on just one platform?
Here's the National Research Council view [ISBN: 0â€309â€14851â€0, 70 p. (2010)]: the high cost of batteries, limited availability of places to plug in, competition from other vehicles, consumer resistance to plugging in virtually every day and continuing government support for several decades are problematic barriers to near-term adoption of electrics.
Regarding the effect on oil consumption the report concludes: "PHEVs will have little impact on oil consumption before 2030 because there will not be enough of them in the fleet. More substantial reductions could be achieved by 2050 but will reduce oil consumption only slightly more than can be achieved by just the hybrid vehicles (HEVs)".
Bottom line, electrics may well be the 2050+ future, but carbon and energy dependency concerns dictate the development of deep-impact solutions that apply to the nearer term – and that means liquid fuels.
So – that's the case for ethanol – its distribution barriers can be overcome, and should not distract us from its higher yields. We'll be highly interested in how the debate shakes out at Biomass 2011 when the formidable Rick Wilson takes the microphone in defense of drop-in fuels.

NEW DELHI: The wait for the proverbial world's cheapest tablet is likely to get even longer. State colleges are yet to get the Aakash tablet even a year after the tender was floated, due to disputes on specifications, payments and quality of tablets between IIT-Rajasthan and its vendor, Datawind.
In the melee`, the letter of credit (LoC) for Aakash issued by IIT-Rajasthan to Datawind in its extension, expired on Saturday, even as both parties have not been able to reach a conclusion on the tablet features. As per government sources, the LoC to Datawind "may" be given a third and final extension till March. But till Monday the LoC remained expired, as per a Datawind spokeswoman, putting a question mark on any further supply of Aakash tablets.

I have been using eye creams faithfully since my early 30s. Now in my mid-40s, I proclaimed that eye creams do not work - now I've been proven wrong! Thankfully so!
I use this on my freshly washed skin, to laugh lines and under eye bags that have developed (Asian single eyelids, but sagging and darkening circles under eyes with age). There is visible lift and firming, I look more refreshed and vibrant again, and most days do not need to fuss with concealer since my skin tone is becoming more even (which didn't work much as it would settle into pores/fine lines anyway).

Dealer Solutions Alliance is a new marketing campaign to inform dealers how they could benefit from the integration among ADP Lightspeed, 50 Below and V-SEPT. The companies are, respectively, popular providers of dealer management systems, websites and a customer relationship management system. Integration among them can help dealers improve productivity and revenue, the campaign says.
To demonstrate the points of integration and their advantages, the companies have set up a website, www.dealersolutionsalliance.com.
"To stay competitive in the market, dealerships have adopted multiple technology solutions," states an ADP Lightspeed press release. "Many dealers started with a dealer management system (DMS) and later added a website and a customer relationship management (CRM) system. These separate systems helped dealers improve efficiency, marketing reach and increase customer loyalty, but also increased the need for clerical management to keep the three separate systems in sync."
The release then quotes John McFarland, ADP Lightspeed's product manager: "DMS, CRM and e-commerce systems were originally designed to improve the dealers' ability to take advantage of customer information, but in some cases they've created more work for dealers through the duplication of customer information and the managing multiple data platforms. We started this initiative to address those issues. By connecting the information in our three areas of expertise we are helping dealers realize the true power of our technology solutions."
Because the three systems communicate customer purchases, contact information, and unit details, dealers can study the complete lifecycle of customers from acquisition to retention, according to Dealer Solutions Alliance, which adds that these insights help dealer improve customer loyalty and "lifetime value."
Jim Vaughn is president and CEO of V-SEPT. "We want to help dealers get more customers in the doors, on their websites and more revenue pumping into their stores without creating more work," he states. "Dealers are looking to increase revenue, and that is what is great about this solution. It's not pie-in-the-sky stuff; these are things that are happening now. Dealers can unlock the real power of the website, marketing and management systems now, when they need it."
Dave Hogge is president of 50 Below. "Dealers need the best tools in the industry now," he states. "We see this solution as building upon each other's strengths to provide the dealer the most powerful tools."

Content adaptation on the Web reduces available information to a subset that matches a user's anticipated needs. Recommender systems rely on relevance scores for individual content items; in particular, pattern-based recommendation exploits co-occurrences of items in user sessions to ground any guesses about relevancy. To enhance the discovered patterns' quality, the authors propose using metadata about the content that they assume is stored in a domain ontology. Their approach comprises a dedicated pattern space built on top of the ontology, navigation primitives, mining methods, and recommendation techniques.

…prepare for a TV segment I'm filming later this week, I'm seeing several clients this afternoon and then we're going over to our neighbors' (Chris and Jenny's) house for The Bachelor finale and dinner tonight (it's a tradition that we have). So I needed a breakfast this morning that was quick, but still filling. I went for a toasted whole wheat English Muffin with peanut butter and blueberries on top and a glass of skim milk on the side. Now, I'd better get this day started!

Vivi being Vivi
Vivi was playing quietly while I made her lunch because Charlotte was still asleep in the next room. Please ignore me in the background; it's 90 degF outside and with no A/C, it's HOT inside. I swear if I knew it was filming me too, I would have put a shirt on. :)

LOVE this one. Also... you have no A/C?!

Ugh. Yes, no A/C. It's the major thing wrong with this house, other than the tiniest driveway in the world. But almost no one has A/C here if they are renting, so we're in good (albeit sweaty) company.
