OCZ Technology Group, a leading maker of solid-state drives, announced Tuesday that virtually all of its SSDs are now based on NAND flash memory produced using 20nm-class process technology. Such SSDs are less expensive to manufacture, but many customers are not satisfied with them.
"OCZ is constantly exploring ways to not just advance solid state drive design but also make the technology more affordable, while maintaining high performance and reliability standards. We are excited to complete the transition to the next generation 20nm-class NAND components which reiterates our strategy of producing high performance SSDs at the most attractive price point available for consumer applications."
As the industry transitions to a 20nm-class fabrication process, OCZ remains focused on delivering high-performance solutions that continue to pave the way for SSDs to become more accessible to the complete range of consumers, and to ultimately replace traditional mechanical hard drives over the next few years.
OCZ will continue to offer the older flash technology in select SSD products with a higher price per gigabyte. All of OCZ's 20nm?based SSDs carry the same warranty as the earlier 30nm-class versions.
But not everyone is happy about OCZ's SSDs with 20nm-class NAND flash memory. According to some end-users, drives based on Micron's 25nm NAND flash memory offer lower write performance compared to predecessors, besides, they offer lower amount of spare capacity as more bits are reserved.

Three Connecticut Women Charged with Overseeing "Gifting Tables" Pyramid Scheme
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Donna Bello, 55, of Guilford, Conn., Jill Platt, 64, of Guilford, and Bettejane Hopkins, 66, of Essex, Conn., were arrested today on federal criminal charges related to their alleged involvement in a pyramid scheme known as "gifting tables," David B. Fein, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigation (CI) in New England. Yesterday, a federal grand jury sitting in New Haven returned an 18-count indictment charging the defendants with conspiracy, tax and wire fraud offenses.
"The indictment alleges that the three defendants ran a pyramid scheme designed to enrich themselves at the expense of other participants," said U.S. Attorney Fein. "In addition, the indictment alleges that the defendants tried to use the pretext of 'gifting tables' as a way to avoid paying taxes on the substantial illegal proceeds of their scheme. The investigation into this scheme and others like it in Connecticut is ongoing and will remain an important priority for my office and IRS Criminal Investigation."
"These arrests should send a strong message to all who threaten the financial health of our communities," said IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Offord. "Schemes that seem too good to be true should be a signal to individuals to stay clear. Criminal Investigation is committed to investigating schemes like these in an effort to protect the financial well being of the American public and to ensure that everyone pays their fair share of taxes."
According to the indictment, a gifting table is configured as a four-level pyramid, with eight participants assigned to the bottom row, four participants assigned to the third row, two participants assigned to the second row, and one participant assigned to the top row. The top row participant is referred to as the "dessert," the two participants on the second row as "entrees," the four participants on the third row as "soup and salads," and the eight participants on the bottom row as "appetizers." To join a gifting table, new participants were required to pay $5,000, typically in cash, to the dessert, that is, the participant occupying the top position on the pyramid. The $5,000 payment, which was fraudulently characterized as a gift, secured the new participant a position as an appetizer on the bottom row. Participants moved from the bottom row of the pyramid and progressed through a gifting table by recruiting additional people to join. When eight new participants joined a gifting table, each having made a $5,000 "gift" to the person occupying the dessert position at the top of the pyramid, the dessert left the gifting table and kept the $40,000 paid by the eight new participants. That particular gifting table was then split, with the two participants occupying the Entree position on the second row moving to the top position (dessert) of two new pyramids. The other incumbent members of the gifting table moved up a row on one of the two newly-formed pyramids, and the search for 16 new participants began. The success of the gifting tables depended on new participants joining and making the $5,000 "gift."
The indictment alleges that from approximately 2008 to 2011, Bello, Platt and Hopkins oversaw and profited from this gifting tables pyramid scheme. The defendants recruited individuals to join the scheme, prepared and distributed materials to recruits that contained false representations, and misrepresented to recruits and participants that gifting tables was not a pyramid scheme. The indictment further alleges that in May 2010, the defendants attempted to intimidate a participant who had questioned the legality of the gifting table scheme.
It is further alleged that Bello, Platt and Hopkins conspired to defraud the IRS by misrepresenting to recruits and participants that monies given and received during the scheme were legally considered tax-free "gifts" under the IRS code and that lawyers and accountants had approved gifting tables as legal ventures that generated tax-free proceeds. The indictment further alleges that Bello, Platt and Hopkins filed false tax returns that failed to report income generated from the scheme.
The indictment details numerous communications sent by Bello, Platt and Hopkins in furtherance of, or related to, the scheme, including an email allegedly sent by Platt in March 2009 that told a participant: "It's sort of a joke that I refer to our freezer as the ATM." Later in March 2009, Bello allegedly complained to Hopkins and another individual about two recruits, stating: "They have had enough parties. Its [sic] costing us a small fortune in their food and wine delights. No more parties until they commit with the cash."
In June 2009, Bello allegedly sent an email that said "I am not a . . . saint . . . . I'm teaching you all how to make an extra 80 grand a year . . . . Isn't that enough?"
In October 2009, Hopkins allegedly emailed Platt and Bello advising that "we need to keep silent and under the radar."
Later in October 2009, Bello allegedly emailed a participant and indicated "as women we like our own stash. Keep it in a safe. Keep it quiet because rather not have red flags raised. Hiring accountants and atterneys [sic] is costly."
The indictment charges Bello, Platt and Hopkins with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and multiple counts of wire fraud. Each of these charges carries a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years. The charge of conspiracy to defraud the IRS carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years. The charge of filing false tax returns carries a maximum term of imprisonment of three years.
Bello, Platt and Hopkins appeared this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna F. Martinez in Hartford, Conn., and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
U.S. Attorney Fein stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This matter is being investigated by the IRS-CI and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas P. Morabito.
This case was brought in coordination with the President's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, which was established to wage an aggressive and coordinated effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

Common sense, not anti-gun
To the editor:
In a recent Journal editorial you stated that the NRA has clout like that is something to be proud of. New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie harshly criticized the National Rifle Association for referring to President Obama's children in an ad that advocates putting armed guards in schools, calling it "reprehensible" and "wrong."
"I think it's awful to bring public figures' children into the political debate," Christie said at a press conference. No one knows more about fear mongering and hatred for an opposing opinion than the NRA. Let us not forget that the second amendment's purpose is clearly stated within the text, and it mentions nothing about tyranny or a tyrannical Government.
"A well-regulated militia" means what it says. The founders knew how costly standing armies could be, so instead of saddling their new country with crushing debt, they elected to have a volunteer force of common workers, homeowners, farmers, and family men ready to defend their homes and lives at a moment's notice. This is why we have a right to keep our weapons, to be ready to join the call FROM our nation, not AGAINST her.
Now before anyone goes off that I am anti-gun here are some facts. I served 24 years in the military, I own multiple rifles, shotguns and pistols (both semi-auto and revolver) and have hunted all of my life. I also have a Virginia State Concealed Carry Permit and exercise that right so I am about as pro gun ownership as you can get. Now that being said I personally do not believe that the Second Amendment should give anyone the right to purchase and posses a 100 round drum magazine for their AR-15. There is no practical hunting or home defense application for a high capacity magazine.
As for the background checks while I grew up in Minnesota and graduated High School right there in New Ulm I now live in Virginia. The big problem here is that if you go to Gander Mountain to buy a gun you have to do the paperwork and have a background check. If you go to a gun show at any location in Virginia you can purchase any type of weapon you choose, including an AR-15 with a magazine as large as a 100 round drum and as much ammunition as you can possibly carry (1000 rounds plus) and walk out with it immediately with no background check. That has to be fixed so everyone has a background check.
I do not see how even the NRA could oppose this as they themselves called for better mental health records to be made available. The only way a database of any information, including mental health records, is made available is if you do the background check to see if the information is there. While I do not agree with all the measures some are calling for the ones I spoke to here are common sense and not anti Second Amendment.

"If you want to make one New Year's resolution that's actually doable, incredibly powerful, and sustainable for the entire year, make it your goal to take full responsibility for your health every single day no matter what life throws at you. "
Cabin Tech
Business meetings these days often seem to have as much to do with technology as with human interaction. Out come the BlackBerries, iPhones, iPads and laptops. Before the gavel even drops, there is a flurry of flying fingers as attendees make Internet connections and check e-mails and text messages. Everyone's Web-connected almost constantly, and it's no different in a private jet at 40,000 feet than it is at home or in the office.
Well, maybe slightly different. In today's business aircraft, a Ku-band satellite connection provides relatively high-speed Internet voice and data transfer at 512 kbps per channel and 64 kbps ISDN (integrated service digital network). This allows Web surfing and e-mailing at speeds that in most cases appear to be as fast as those in the typical home or office. But the onboard connection is actually slower, which becomes obvious when you download large files.
Three factors limit Ku band. First, the size and weight of the required antenna restricts employment to large-cabin business aircraft. Second, the service may cost as much as $6,000 a month. Finally, the signal must travel roughly 44,000 miles from ground to satellite and back to the aircraft, or vice versa, resulting in delay, or latency.
The good news is that faster, more economical solutions are on the way:
> Eutelsat Communications recently launched its first Ka-band high-throughput satellite, marking the kickoff of its "Tooway" broadband product. The company expects this platform to deliver "cost-effective" high-bandwidth service across Europe and the Mediterranean basin–at speeds of up to 10 mbps downstream and 4 mbps upstream. Ka-band–which won't be available to business aviation before 2014–may not provide such eye-popping data-transfer speeds, but it should be a substantial improvement over current offerings.
> In the U.S., Aircell's Gogo Biz, using ground-based connectivity, is offering a peak data-transfer rate of 3.1 mbps. The advantages are minimal latency and the relatively low cost of service, which starts at about $395 per month. Coverage at this point is restricted to the continental U.S. and Alaska, where extensive arrays of ground antennas support the system. The equipment in a Gogo Biz package for business aviation typically weighs about 17 pounds, including two belly-mounted antennas.
> Zurich-based charter operator Fly Comlux's Airbus A319 Prestige, due to enter service in January, will permit passengers to stay in touch by voice or text through their own mobile phones, thanks to OnAir's Mobile OnAir system. GSM-compliant devices will connect to an onboard antenna and a mini-GSM network, which will send voice calls and data via an Inmarsat SwiftBroadband satellite link to the ground. There, it will connect to the OnAir ground infrastructure, which will route calls and data to public networks.
> JetCorp Technical Services in St. Louis has received FAA approval for the Aircell cabin telecommunications router on a Challenger 300. The installation provides Wi-Fi capability for Aircell's Gogo Biz in-flight Internet service. It permits passengers to use BlackBerrys, iPhones and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices to surf the Internet, retrieve and answer e-mails with attachments and access corporate VPNs (virtual private networks).
> Aviator 200 and Aviator 300–from Danish electronics giant Thrane & Thrane via master distributor Aircell–are rapidly finding their way into business aircraft. Aviator 200 delivers Internet access and e-mail to Wi-Fi-enabled smartphones, tablets and laptops at up to 158 kbps. That's not particularly fast, but the price is competitive: $75,000 for the equipment and about $7 to $10 per megabyte of data transferred. Voice service runs about $1.50 a minute. Aviator 300 has been selected for 12 factory airframe programs, including those at Bombardier, Cessna, Hawker Beechcraft and Gulfstream. Like Aviator 200, it offers global data transfer, but at up to 332 kbps. Aftermarket retrofit certifications for the Aviator series have been granted for the King Air 200, Citation CJ1 and Bombardier Challenger series. Certification programs are underway for the Cessna Citation XLS, the DC-8, Embraer Legacy 600 and 650, Falcon 2000EX, Falcon 2000LS, Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350 and Gulfstream IV.
> From EMS Aviation comes the Aspire family of satellite-based in-flight connectivity products, including its new AirMail portable e-mail system and a touch-screen, color handset. Aspire delivers voice and data connectivity to owners and operators of small- and medium-sized business aircraft, using standard wiring configurations and interfaces to support Inmarsat or Iridium components. Aspire 200 has been certified in a Hawker 4000, and the Morristown, N.J. company is pursuing approvals for other aircraft, including the Cessna Citation XLS and Citation XLS+, the Challenger 300 and the Falcon 2000 series.
Now that passengers on business jets routinely carry personal communication devices, they're demanding that these devices interface with their aircrafts' cabin-management and entertainment systems. In this arena, too, there have been major developments:
> Gulfstream's first completed G650 features the company's own cabin-management system (CMS), along with an application that turns passengers' smartphones into cabin-control devices.
> Cabin completion and refurbishment specialist Duncan Aviation of Lincoln, Neb., has introduced iCabin, an iPad application that allows wireless control of cabin systems. The first installation was in a Falcon 900, using Aircell CTR Wi-Fi sources and a unit to communicate instructions to the Honeywell MH cabin-management system.
> Flight Display's new CMS software allows passengers to control all cabin functions, from lighting to movies, through an Android smartphone.
> TruNorth Avionics of Ottawa has introduced HD Voice, a high-definition enhancement of its Simphone OpenCabin product. The Canadian company claims "a significant quality improvement over other phone systems on calls made via the Inmarsat SwiftBroadband and Swift64 satcom links."
> Esoteric, a wireless-technology specialist in Irvine, Calif., recently received an order from Innotech Aviation of Montreal for 35 ship sets of its SkyPad system. According to Innotech, SkyPad is the industry's first wireless in-flight entertainment and cabin-control system to integrate the iPad and Innotech's I-Ku system through a Ku-band connection.
> A free Rockwell Collins application, now available from the iTunes App Store, will transform an iPhone or iPod Touch into a remote for the company's Venue CMS. Rockwell Collins recently announced the aftermarket installation of the CMS in two Dornier 328DBJs (Dornier Business Jets).
Propelled by customer complaints that cabin-management systems require too much maintenance–and that you need a Ph.D. from MIT to understand their controls–manufacturers have been working to make them more reliable and user-friendly:
> Two Rockwell Collins CMS-equipped Dornier 328DBJs are the first European-manufactured airplanes to fly with Venue, according to the company. The CMS has also been picked by Nextant Aerospace for its 400XT twinjet upgrade and is standard equipment on the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 350i. Venue is available for the forward-fit as well as the used-aircraft market.
> Honeywell, which reintroduced its Ovation Select CMS last October, debuted an improved version this spring. The upgrade features single-touch activation and, according to the company, permits passengers to stay connected via BlackBerry, iPad, iPod, iPhone or laptop, or to view a Blu-ray movie. Ovation Select's JetMap HD allows viewers to see the flight path from 18 perspectives and to "visit" other destinations "at Mach five" with the press of a button. Ovation Select has been installed in Honeywell's own corporate Falcon 900EX. First customer deliveries will go to three Boeing Business Jets in September and a Gulfstream G550 in October.
> German completion and refurbishment specialist Lufthansa Technik has announced a 50/50 partnership with Panasonic Avionics. The resulting independent company, IDair (Innovation Design for the Air), takes the crème de la crème from Lufthansa's business jet products and Panasonic's X series commercial flight entertainment system. The backbone of IDair's offering is a combination of Panasonic eX2 with components from Lufthansa Technik's networked integrated cabin equipment (Nice) system.
High-definition video is another item appearing on customers' "gotta have" list. What some business jet owners don't realize is that adding a Blu-ray player and high-definition monitor doesn't necessarily guarantee a high-definition image. To really deliver HD, the system must be high-definition front-to-back and at all points in between. That means not only the disc and the player and the monitor, but also the signal transmission system and wiring. But fear not–completion and refurbishment centers and aircraft manufacturers are aware of this and tweaking their product lines:
> Goodrich, which last year completed its purchase of a majority of DeCrane Aerospace's assets, including Audio International, has introduced its Platinum HD cabin-management system. It features two Blu-ray players and offers 1080p resolution on monitors from 12 to 42 inches. According to the newly formed Goodrich Cabin Electronic Systems, the first aircraft to be equipped with Platinum HD, a Boeing Business Jet, is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2011.
> In Europe, Airbus Corporate Jet Centre is offering high-definition cabin entertainment through HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) for the Airbus Corporate Jet line. The system provides HD video on up to four monitors in each private area simultaneously, either through a local source such as a Blu-ray player or from an external device (video game console or laptop) with an HDMI plug.
> The latest from Rosen Aviation of Eugene, Ore. is a line of monitors that are just 1.1-inches deep, thanks to separation of the screen from the power supply and video electronics. The ultra-slim screen produces almost no heat and allows for three bulkhead-mounting configurations, as well as a credenza-mount design.
In 1919, when the Navy's NC-4 flying boat made the first manned aircraft transatlantic crossing, wireless cabin communication was a matter of yelling louder than the roar of four engines just a few feet from an open cockpit. Eight years later, when Charles Lindbergh was making his first solo transatlantic flight, his air/ground communication consisted of a low pass over a fishing boat, accompanied by the shout, "Which way is Ireland!" As for entertainment, it was enough just to survive. In-flight communication and entertainment have come a long way since then. A very long way, indeed.

3/16-3/22 a week in the forney watershed
Just got back from my spring break trip to the smokies. My cousin Matt and his roommate will came up from the citadel for their first smokies trip. I paid our backcountry tax and got the whole week planned out, but the weather changes caused us to bend the rules a little bit and do things a little differently. We hiked in on Saturday to 74 and set up our camp. It's not. The nicest site, but it wasn't super trashed out.
We immediately got to fishing
The fishing in the big water was a little slow, but we had a good quill Gordon hatch a little before dark and I managed two 9"+ fish one on the dry and one on a wet fly. I lost several more. Will caught a small rainbow.
When we were getting ready for dinner, the forest came alive and there were big toads everywhere
The next day, we made our way up to bear creek and campsite 75. At the first footbridge, we decided to take a break and try the stream.
I caught this guy pretty quickly.
Will caught a small Brookie under the bridge.
Once we got camp setup, I took Matt out on the stream to help him get the hang of smokies fishing.
After not too long, he had his first smokies trout....
This was about typical of the stream
We got a weather report that next morning and decided that it would not be a good idea to stick with our original plan and decided to change it up. We were going to head over the ridge to hazel and cs 82, but with thunderstorms and heavy rain we decided to go straight to cs 70 instead.
That morning, we went to setup the camp stove and realized we were missing a piece. The only way we could cook was with a campfire, which was worrisome considering the weather forecast. Fortunately for us, some lazy horse campers trash saved us....
We used a spare 5x7 Walmart backpacking tarp to collect and pack out a good sized pile of small sticks
We packed up and headed down the trail. Before we reached cs 71, the storm hit us hard. The lightning was close enough that we took cover for about a half hour in a rhododendron ****. We pulled a full sized 12x12 tarp over us and hoped to stay as dry as possible but we got soaked and were pretty cold by the time started hiking again. Reaching cs70 was a huge relief.
We got a tarp set up and some dry clothes on and just sat and watched the rain until dark. Using the tin cans I packed out of 75 left by the horse campers and our bundle of dry sticks, I fashioned a crude twig stove like I have seen on smoke of the ultralight backpacking sites. It worked like a charm and we had a hot dinner
The next day, the weather was good and the guys were ready for some combat fishing
We all went our separate ways and I went up above 70. Unfortunately, I left my camera at camp and wasn't about to go back and get it by the time I realized this. At first it was really slow. Mostly small rainbows. About 4, I picked up a 6 inch brown on a tan never sink. Later on I got a good 8 inch rainbow which I kept for dinner. I was catching a lot of small bows but when I got closer to the crossing below 69 a large fish hit my dry. When I was pulling him in, he broke the surface and I saw the unmistakable dark body and orange underbelly of a Brookie. He got off with a quick shake. I was not going to have a another slam with an * so I swapped out my dropper with a pink weenie. A couple of casts later, I had a 9" Brookie to add to my dinner and a slam in the bag! I went back below 70 and keep fishing until dark. By the time I stopped, I had a limit and was pretty happy with that. The other guys had only had smaller fish so the 5 fish were what we had for dinner with a big pot of white rice.
The following day we fished around 70 again, but it was much colder and we tried to stay dry. Matt managed 3 keepers and I got 1.
I didn't have good enough signal to look up the weather but was able to get updates from duckypaddler via text message. We were in for a colder night and and worse weather on the way.
Sure enough the next day it was so cold there wasn't any action by the fish. We sat around a fire and relaxed most of the day.
That night right after dinner. Matt remarked that it was warmer than last night at this time and maybe it wouldn't be as bad. About as soon as he said that....
The snow quickly turned to light rain which in turn, turned to sleet. Fortunately it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
The next day we had a light covering around most of the camp.
It didn't hang around too long
With nothing much else to do that day, I climbed to the high spot above 70 between Jonas and forney creeks.
We got another weather advisory from ducky that it would get bad Friday night so rather that hike over to Nolan's creek, we stayed out and decided to hike out on Friday, rather than stay until Saturday.
We packed up as much of the trash as we could which included a big tarp, half burnt, 10 tin cans, some fiberglass tent poles someone had tried to burn, and a pair of shoes...
So if you want to visit 70, now is the time because its pretty trash free for now.
There was a fold up chair across the river that we couldn't get to... The things people ditch in the woods...
We hiked out to the car, and it was pretty uneventful. We were all happy when we reached the tunnel
A chocolate bar and big dr pepper later, I was ready to go back already...
All in all a good trip. My cousin has gotten bit by the smokies trout fishing bug and is already talking about going again this summer. It was a great week, even though the weather put a halt to excellent fishing. And everyone managed to catch some which is always a plus.
Special thanks to duckypaddler for keeping me up to date on the impending and constantly changing weather situation.
You mean to tell us that the fee you paid for the backcountry upkeep didnt seem to work out too well?
Great trip glad yall had a good time. Just a tad too cold for me right now.
Thanks for posting a great report. Sorry you didn't get my last update until you hiked out. It seemed like they were changing the forecast every 5 hours or so. Glad you guys had fun.
Those boys from the Citadel must have much bigger wrists than you.
Glad you stayed warm for the most part.

Also, for anyone interested, I'll be changing this within the next 6 months to do a room temp bulk, rather than the re-ball. Right now, when I take the partially fermented dough balls out of the containers to re-ball, the containers are a bit gummy, and it's kind of a hassle to wipe them out. If I bulk, I save myself this trouble. It's just a matter of dialing in the right amount of yeast for a room temp bulk and deciding on a time frame.
Deb, I tried a room temp bulk- 3 times, and came close to dialing in the right amount of yeast, but never really nailed it. Then I gave up and went back to my balled recipe. I'll give it another shot.
Woo hoo! Could you do two 'scott123 specials?' One with convection, one with the broiler?
first Ischia dough I need to find a good recipe for this, I just kind of guessed at percentages and pizza was good but need to put more thought into itthank you Craig!, without your sourdough predictive model I wouldn't have had a quick starting point for the sourdough
Barry - a little less oven spring and the crumb structure isn't quite as open. I think that with 25% you'll see a little difference. This last set of pictures didn't have any whole wheat, just the previous set.
thanks Bob, yes, definitely a little lower temp next time. easy, it's weird working with such a low hydration and a rolling pin. it's going in the rotation
Dough: 100% KABF, 60% Water (room temperature), 1% ADY, 1% Sugar, 2% Salt, 3% EVOO, 1 hour bulk ferment in my oven with the light on, 1 hour balled / ferment at room temperature
Hi Deb, this what I do for my emergency dough:
Awesome, thank you Bert! That's what i'm doing next timewill be easy for me to find since it's in my thread

The climate impact of air conditioning our buildings and vehicles is now that of almost half a billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.

Is it fair to expect people in Mumbai to go without air conditioning when so many in Miami use it freely?production (an increase that the Environmental Protection Agency does not expect to be achieved until 2030) and still not cover the nation's air-conditioning demand, let alone other needs. Today, worldwide renewable production is estimated at about 750 billion kilowatt hours, which, I estimate, covers about three-fourths of current global air-conditioning demand. The International Energy Agency predicts that renewable generation will expand to six times its current output by 2050. But even if that is achieved, renewable sources will still be satisfying only three-fourths of air-conditioning demand.

I prefer what is usually classed as the Asu sasame screen (though my preference now is for a direct filter) I find they don't clog (usually on shincha) as easy as the super super fine filters and I like a bit of leaf.
They handle fuka superb. as I said I use a 16 hole direct filter at the moment and its not far off a sasame screen in terms of how much it holds back. You may not always be able to dump the contents into a cup but sencha taste poor when you do that any way IMO. I always slow poor sencha as I prefer the taste that way.
No filling halfway is totally fine. In fact that's nearly the sweetspot for some pots. I even use to 3rd fill a 300ml kyusu I had and the results were always fine.

Easy way to find out: Use the flour.
Is there any noticeable difference between the two?
The pilsbury bread flour has less iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid. I'm not sure if the variance from KABF would be enough to change my final product, what benefit do these ingredients bring in the creation of pizza dough?

Defend New Hampshire's Cornerstone Clean Energy Program
Big utility companies want to repeal New Hampshire's cornerstone clean energy program. We can show our legislators that a vote against clean energy is a vote against New Hampshire.
What's at stake: our clean air and energy independence
New Hampshire is too dependent on dirty sources of energy. Burning fossil fuels for electricity pollutes our air and water, and causes global warming. Our reliance on heating oil undermines our energy independence.
We're starting to make progress. Our state's cornerstone clean energy program, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (also known as RGGI), charges polluters for their emissions and then invests that money into energy efficiency and clean energy development.
And RGGI is working. With a RGGI grant, the Lakes Region Community College developed a new job training program in 2009 to put residents back to work in the energy efficiency industry. To date, 150 alums of the program are weatherproofing buildings, installing more efficient lighting and putting solar panels on roofs.
Powerful utilities aren't backing down
Big utility companies and their allies in the Legislature have launched one attack on RGGI after another. They're pulling out all the stops to repeal New Hampshire's cornerstone clean energy program. If their attempt to keep us hooked on dirty energy succeeds, we will lose ground on years of clean energy progress.
Last year their attack on clean energy failed when the governor vetoed the repeal of RGGI. Overwhelming public support convinced key senators to stand up with the governor for clean energy.
But the polluters and their allies have filed another bill this year — so we need to keep up the fight.
With your activism and advocacy, we can defend clean energy
We refuse to let out-of-state oil and coal companies roll back this important program. We're bringing together New Hampshire residents from all walks of life — fishers, veterans, small business owners and more — to defend New Hampshire's clean energy future.
Already, hundreds have contacted their lawmakers and attended hearings. Across the state, citizens are calling or emailing legislators, signing petitions, spreading the word to friends and family, and attending hearings.
We need to once again show our legislators that a vote against clean energy is a vote against New Hampshire. If enough of us speak out, we can move New Hampshire toward 100% clean, renewable energy.

- New Hampshire sends $2.6 billion out of state for energy use every year.
- Hundreds of Environment New Hampshire activists called their legislators to urge them to stand up for clean energy

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great location from which to explore. Just a short walk and short metro ride to Manhatten and connections to Brooklyn, and 1 minute away from stops on the Q58 bus route between Brooklyn and Flushing.
The apartment itself was clean, large and very comfortable for two, provided wifi, bed linen and towels.
Jason met me at the apartment and explained everything and was very accommodating with our arrival and departure times.
A very minor grumble was that the plumbing in the house was a little noisy in the morning as water tanks behind the loft walls must serve other apartments in the property, but this is only a very minor complaint.
All in all, I would highly recommend Jason's apartment as a base to explore New York.
We were four people and the apartment was exactly what we needed. Jason was very nice and he helped us with everything. The place is kind of small but enough for just five days. The neighborhood wasn't really reliable but the subway is very close and well connected. So definitely I will recommend this apartment.
Welcoming was unsurpassable, the apartment was really clean and comfortable, having all the thing you could need, including a shower gel and washing up liquid. It was round the corner from the tube station so it was more than convenient. When we arrived Jason had a sit with us in front of a map explaining us all we needed to know about the area (supermarkets, good restaurants, etc.) If we come back to New York, we will definitely come back to this apartment. ;)
We ( family of 3 ) had a wonderful stay in the apartment. It was very hot upon our
arrival and we were welcomed with cool drinks.
Everything worked out perfectly.
The apartment was very cosy, neat and clean. Jason is very nice and helpful.
Receiving kess unproblematic.Sub Station 5 min walking distance, the Ride Takes about 25 minutes.
We highly recommend this apartment.
The apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable. Splendid was that it had a computer. It was close to bus, subway and convenient shops of all kinds.
Jason was friendly and very helpful. One never had to wait long for an answer from him when one sent an WhatsApp.
We spent three whole weeks and would gladly rent this apartment again.
The description of the apartment and most of the reviews are adequate: it is a spacious apartment in a vibrant neighbourhood with good public transport connections. Jason is indeed a very helpful host!
Das Zimmer war wirklich sauber und für 2 Personen vollkommen ausreichend. Der Gastgeber war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Mit der u-Bahn fährt man 15 Minuten zum Herzen von New York. Wir können das wirklich empfehlen da das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wirklich stimmt.
The room was really clean and for 2 people perfectly adequate. The host was friendly and courteous. The location is very good. With the subway you drive 15 minutes to the heart of New York. We can really recommend as the price-performance ratio is really true.
Everything was smooth and went perfect. The house is located just 3 Minutes walk from the metro station. Jason already waited for us.
The apartment is well equipped and for us, as a family of 4, a good choice. During days out for sightseeing, in the evening our own spot with privacy to relax.
Several supermarkets are in the neighbourhood, as well as small restaurants.
We would book again.
Birgit and family
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice clean apartment that is close to everything you need and Jason is a great guy!

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Kingsford woman pleads guilty
IRON MOUNTAIN – A 27-year-old Kingsford woman has pleaded guilty to possessing contraband while incarcerated in the Dickinson County Jail.
Stacey Hupp entered the plea with attorney Michael Scholke who filled in for attorney Grant Carlson, both of Iron Mountain, during Monday's court before Dickinson County Circuit Court Judge Mary B. Barglind.
Former and part-time Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Stephanie Brule said as part of the plea agreement in exchange for a guilty plea to the charge, a nine month jail cap and 90 days jail credit if Hupp completes a 90-day substance abuse treatment is being recommended.
She added Hupp also faces a retail fraud charge in Dickinson County District Court, and will plead guilty to retail fraud third degree on Feb. 4. Restitution will be paid to JCPenney in that case.
Hupp said that on Nov. 29, 2012, she brought contraband into the jail.
According to the felony complaint, due to suspicious behavior in the detox cell, Hupp was strip searched. She had concealed a plastic baggie in with several pills, a white powdery substance and suspected marihuana.
She admitted to an investigating officer and in court to bringing sleeping pills and marihuana into the jail.
Judge Barglind set sentencing for Feb. 5 at 9 a.m.

A dangerous highway
I and my husband want to add our voices to Paul Neumeier's concerns about the Gladstone death trap areas. There are two spots as everyone who travel from Rapid River through Gladstone on into Escanaba knows it's a very dangerous track of highway. Tom and Barb were our friends, and they will be missed by so so many of us who knew them. But its comforting for us to know, that God's word tells us in Ecc 12:7 "And the dust returns to the Earth as it was, and the Spirit returns to God who gave it."
So Tom and Barb are safe at home with our Lord. Please pray for their family and other friends as they are the one's who will need them in this tragedy. Whoever the people are who can solve the problem of these deadly hot spots on our highways to do something now.
Escanaba has a deadly hot spot also. Years back I wrote the editor about St. Francis Hospital. There is only one entrance in and out, and only a few feet apart, both entrances coming onto our busy highway. Now with Menards (so busy) and those other busy businesses right across from OSF entrances, its an accident area waiting to happen. No flashing warning lights caution hospital entrance ahead. And OSF could make going to their facility safer for us all, and so easy. They have two existing roads of 30th, all they need to do for us to use them, is cut out the curbs, and we could drive right in. Please I hope you readers will write to the editor to support letters for these dangerous hot spots mentioned by Mr. Neumeier and myself, maybe it will help open deaf ears of the people who have the clout to solve these serious problems in both towns.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (98 votes).
In short: Friendly, well run eventIn full: Super weather and a well planned out and back course from West Ham Park to the Olympic Stadium. Congested start but timing chip made this less of an issue - results up promptly. Very supportive marshals and police although some fast cars did infiltrate the course in Stratford High Street. Oh and the baggage handling was a bit British Airways. Well worth doing with a good fast finish in the park.Date of review: April 18, 2010
In short: WONDERFUL WEATHER IN WEST HAM PARKIn full: The weather was wonderful and the atmosphere was fabulous. Tessa and her crew should be very proud of their hard work. I really enjoyed my JOG today and l can see this event getting BIGGER & BETTER. I met some great people today and look forward to doing this event in 2011. Thank you to the cheery marshalls & the support at the Olympic site.Date of review: April 18, 2010
In short: a great race In full: a great flat race lots of turns. Maybe need more km markers for time. Great sight to see the olympic stadium and great for chearing by the runners as it was an out and back course.Date of review: April 18, 2010
In short: Classic runIn full: What a lovely day and what a lovely race! My highlight was meeting one of my favourite athletics stars, the lovely Tessa Sanderson!Date of review: April 18, 2010
In short: Very good race!!!Date of review: November 18, 2009
Date of review: August 20, 2009
In short: Special because it's local, but locals few & far between.In full: This was my first race ever at any distance, entering after the closing date. Having been obese only two months earlier and NOT training for any race, I completed it 32mins faster than the 1hr 20mins I thought it would take me. NEGATIVES: Some organisers unsure as to where people should go and sign posting wasn't very clear. We were made to wait far too long at the start, in the cold, got cramp in both calves AT THE VERY START! It's a bit difficult in the first half, as there are numerous undulations and THAT narrow passage. There isn't much in the way of scenery, but it was nice to run past my old school! The km markers weren't very clear, had to ask the marshals, not easy when your gasping for air. Finally, don't expect many locals to give encouragement or provide atmosphere, other than right at the finish.POSITIVE: Local residents could enter for FREE! have to pay in 2010 though. Good to see some famous sporting stars attend such as Tessa Sanderson & Michael Watson and famous locals such as the first 'Apprentice' winner Tim Campbell. Though there isn't much scenery, it was nice to run past the partially constructed Olympic stadium and run through West Ham Park. Goody bag & medal: Nice white t-shirt with the event name and year on it as a memento and the granola bar and energy drink much appreciated! very decent solid metal medal with the event name and year on it. Suggestions: Change the route to possibly take in Green Street and the Boleyn ground, you'd get more spectators/supporters.Date of review: August 1, 2009
In short: Fantastic Effort for its First Race!!In full: Overall the race was well organised, great atmosphere and great scenery (Olympic Village). There was also good organisation in keeping the roads clear for the runners. The only negative, were issues with checking in bags, which started to resolve itself towards the end.Looking forwards to next year!!!Date of review: May 14, 2009
In short: Nice race - shame about bottleneck.In full: A nice local race, train to Stratford an hour beforehand, walked around shopping centre to keep out of cold, no problems with baggage, freezing while waiting for start, nice to hear Tessa and Michael Watson. Once race started weather weent nice and only issue was bottle neck. Eveyone we overtook, pushed in so we had to overtake them again! Maybe resolved for next year.Excellent pack, t-shirts TOO BIG!!! I pushed wife towards Tessa who gave her a medal!! Wow!!Date of review: May 7, 2009
In short: slightly disorganised at start. especially baggage, only one person taking bagsIn full: flat course, nice touch was going into olympic park, although a bit congested. friendly marschals.Date of review: April 27, 2009

Blond short messy hairstyle
The trendy look of Justin Bieber is obtained by achieving a trimmed haircut played with the artistic imagination to make it look messy yet cool. The unusual hair arrangement attracts ones attention. Most of the blond-colored hair is directed towards the left side while some of the remaining hair on his right are allowed to go up a bit defying the good boy appearance and transforming him into a more fashionable image.

Chemical Structure
Melittin is the main component of apitoxin (Apis mellifera venom), accounting for approximately 50% of its dry weight (Terra et al., 2006). The water-soluble, 26 amino acid-long polypeptide chain, weighing 2,840 Da, is largely composed of hydrophobic residues, with the exception of the cationic and hydrophilic carboxy-terminal sequence (Vogel et al., 1986). It is this amphiphilic nature that gives melittin its characteristic detergent-like properties (Maulet et al., 1980).
Using a range of techniques, including X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations, melittin was found to adopt a variety of conformations, depending on factors including the pH and the type of aqueous medium. For instance, when dissolved in water, the hydrophilic residues 22-26 were shown to form a non-helical segment, whereas the remaining hydrophobic residues of melittin were reported to form a bent helix, composed of two smaller α-helical segments of residues 1-11 and 12-21. The concave side of the bent helix was found to be hydrophobic, while the convex side was shown to be hydrophilic (Vogel, et al., 1986). Additionally, melittin was found to be tetrameric at high pH, a random coil at pH 7.0, and monomeric in plasma (Terra, et al., 2006).
Mode of Action
In the bloodstream, melittin is able to rapidly bind to erythrocytes (red blood cells), inducing the release of haemoglobin and other cellular contents into the extracellular medium. Once melittin has penetrated the erythrocyte, it causes micellisation of phosphatidylcholine bilayers, ultimately leading to haemolysis and cell death (Dempsey, et al., 1990).
Apart from its ability to disrupt lipid bilayers, melittin can also inhibit transmembrane proteins, including Na+/K+-ATPase, leading to a rise in sodium concentration within cells (Yang, et al., 2001). The increase in sodium induces an increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium, which results in the increased contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle.
Potential Therapeutic Use
Melittin is currently one of the most extensively used peptides in the research on lipid-peptide and peptide-peptide interactions (Wessman, et al., 2010). The presence of a single tryptophan residue at position 19 allows for a facilitated interpretation of fluorescence data via the tryptophan fluorescence technique, whereby intrinsic fluorescence emissions can be measured via the excitation of tryptophan residues (Raghuraman, et al., 2004).
More recently, the peptide has been shown to possess a variety of therapeutic uses. For instance, melittin is currently being analysed as a potential treatment and preventative for HIV. In a study currently being conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, a melittin-nanoparticle complex was shown to effectively destroy the AIDS-causing virus by forming pores in its protective viral envelope, required for viral reproduction (Evangelou Strait, 2013).
Another use of melittin is in the treatment of cancer. A promising study, once again conducted by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, involves the attaching of melittin to a different nanoparticle. The novel melittin-nanoparticle complex, named the "nanobee", selectively targets tumour cells, thus avoiding healthy cells. Once attached to a tumour cell, melittin is able to break down the tumour by forming pores in the cell membrane (Loftus, 2009).
