Normally this space is taken up with local press releases and the occasional snarky comment, but something interesting happened to me this week that I thought I'd share.
Within two days of each other, I crossed 100,000 miles on my car, and paid it off.
I've never done either of those things before.
Growing up, my dad always leased cars (at least once he moved up to CFO positions, which happened when I was about 12-13, and paying attention to cars), so I just assumed that it was normal to swap them out every 2-3 years.
So after I moved to Washington, DC, and the Mazda 626 my parents had given me died, I went the lease route. First with a Saturn, then a Jeep Wrangler, then the Nissan Xterra.
Of course, by the time the lease on the Xterra ran out, I was now living in Park City, and didn't have a high-paying job, so I decided to just buy the car off the lease -- essentially meaning that I made payments for 8 years on the thing, which any financial advisor would shake their head at. So sue me - I love this car, haven't had a lick of trouble with it, so why scrap it and hunt down another used car that has had who knows what sort of damage done to it?
I don't have to drive very much now - only 14 miles round-trip from home to the office, with the occasional trip to Salt Lake for shopping or soccer thrown in, and the rare long drive to Southern Utah or California thrown in for good measure - so to get to 100K in 8 years of driving is a pretty good deal.
Plus the car is in great shape - I just replaced the tires this year, it's got a new windshield (thanks to all the construction, we have lots of dump trucks on the road), and beyond that, the only major problem was a bad fuel pump which was recalled. It even has the original clutch (see Dad, I do know how to drive a stick).
Hopefully, I'll be able to take the money that used to go towards car payments and put some of that in Ilana's 529 plan, my Roth IRA and still have a little left over to throw at my credit card.
Just watch - I'm going to get rear-ended a week from now and I'll have to start this process all over again. :)

- Publisher's Summary
- The book gives an extended review of theoretical and observational aspects of neutron star physics. With masses comparable to that of the Sun and radii of about ten kilometres, neutron stars are the densest stars in the Universe. This book describes all layers of neutron stars, from the surface to the core, with the emphasis on their structure and equation of state. Theories of dense matter are reviewed, and used to construct neutron star models. Hypothetical strange quark stars and possible exotic phases in neutron star cores are also discussed. Also covered are the effects of strong magnetic fields in neutron star envelopes and a comparison on neutron star models with observations.

Mark Cavendish came within a whisker of securing his highest profile win of 2013 to date in the Tour of Qatar today when he pounded across the finishing line on the windswept road at Dukhan beach in sixth place.
On an eventful 145-kilometre trek north and west across the Qatar peninsula in gale force winds and even the odd sandstorm, Cavendish, clad in the blue and grey of his new team, Omega Pharma-Quick Step, had nothing to reproach himself for his near miss. The Manxman had been in the thick of the action from the gun, taking part in an early break of 14, then as the peloton splintered on Qatar's broad motorways, staying close to the first of six waves of riders that formed. A late three-man breakaway, though, was only engulfed by a front bunch of some three dozen riders, including Cavendish, in the closing metres of the finishing straight. In the chaotic mass dash that followed fractions of a second later he was – despite his earlier efforts – still very much in the mix.
Cavendish has already raced this year for his Belgian team, snatching a first win in January on stage one of the Tour de San Luis in Argentina. But Qatar's harsher weather and a field packed with riders honing their form for the fast-upcoming Classics make the Middle East's premier stage race his first major test of how he is adapting to his new squad in 2013.
"At Qatar he and his team are all moving up a big notch compared to Argentina. We're not putting any pressure on him, it's all about getting the season started," says Danish ex-pro Brian Holm, one of Cavendish's sports directors at Omega Pharma-Quick Step, and previously with him in the HTC- Highroad squad. "If he can win a stage here that'll be great, if he can get two even better. But he could come home with nothing – that's life and that's cycling"
Holm estimates that building a leadout train – the long line of team-mates that protected and guided Cavendish to the ideal blast-off position for victory in his former HTC squad, and almost always one of the most complex areas to handle when a sprinter comes into a new team – could take "up to a year to construct".
"We'll make some big mistakes for sure. Even in the Giro and probably in the first stage of the Tour," Holm said. "But time will go by and for sure it's going to get better and better. Our experience with Cavendish is that riders really step up a level when they race with him, he makes them stronger."
Qatar's ultra-flat network of desert roads is a notoriously tricky testing ground for sprinters and their teams, with its strongly gusting desert winds and highly exposed terrains leaving no hiding place. With riders champing at the bit for action after the winter break, Qatar's sprints tend to be exceptionally boisterous, chaotic affairs, with crashes a regular feature.
Cavendish has taken four stages at Qatar in his career, including two in 2012, and Omega Pharma- Quick Step have won five of the last seven editions of the race, but rivals recognised that yesterday's desert battle for his fifth personal victory there was an exceptionally tough challenge.
"The last 20 kilometres were particularly hard," said a dust-grimed Ian Stannard of Cavendish's former team, Sky. "It kind of turned into a stalemate. Quick Step had to work to get him up there, but Cavendish is always up for a sprint." Following today's team time trial, his next chance should come as soon as tomorrow.
* Bradley Wiggins completed his first day's racing of 2013 yesterday in stage one of the Tour of Mallorca with a trip to the winner's podium after he netted the award for "Most Combative Rider". Wiggins finished 161st on the stage, won by Belgian Kenny Dehaes.

When this is in bloom here, it's everyone's favorite. Mine and visitors
alike. It's THE red on the premises. I liked this photo because I know
what the color does when sunlight is going through the bloom. Like no
other. I have more than half a dozen photos and so far, nothing has picked
up that quality and been true to the bloom and color. I'll keep trying and
hopefully get a photo that will give some idea of what it does. Maybe. I'm
not overly hopeful of succeeding.

Chapter Twenty-five
"Run!" I screamed, pushing everyone ahead of me as we sprinted out of the collapsing cave. I could feel the rocks falling at my heels, threatening to take me down with them. I ran as fast as I could towards the light at the entrance of the cave, until it finally the light consumed us all; we were out safely. We stood there for a while, catching our breaths. I heard Chris behind me let out a nervous laugh, which lightened the mood some, causing us to laugh as well.
Haylee wasn't laughing. "Now what? They'll catch us for sure." Her annoyed comment quelled our laughing.
"Well…" I began slowly. "Let's get back to the others first. Maybe we won't get caught if no one notices our absence."
"Alright. Which way do we go?" Haylee replied, looking down the two paths. Nothing seemed familiar anymore, for the collapsed cave spilled out onto the trail.
"I think I remember heading that way before breaking away from the group." The taller one said, pointing down the path to the left. I inwardly agreed, and apparently so did the others, for no one raised any objection.
"Alright." Chris shrugged. "That way it is, then." With that, we started walking, nervousness sparking between us.
"Oh, I guess we never introduced ourselves." The shorter girl said, glancing in our direction. "I'm Jackalyn, and this is Kyle. Everyone calls me Jackie, though."
"And I don't think I have a nickname." Kyle added.
"Hi!" Haylee said, introducing the three of us as well. "I'm Haylee, this is Dan, and that's Chris." She stated, gesturing to each of us in turn. "Hey, haven't I seen you someplace before?" She asked, turning to Jackie.
"Hmm…" Jackie thought for a moment. "Oh, did you eat at Olive Garden a few days ago?"
"Yeah, we went there on the fourteenth."
"Yep. I was your waitress. I just got a temporary job there a few weeks ago."
"Huh. Who would have known…" Chris trailed off.
"So where are you guys from?" I said, attempting to start a conversation.
"We're both all the way from Ohio." Jackie answered. "You?"
"We're from Eng-" I stopped myself before finishing England. "Er, Pennsylvania. Chris and I just moved there a couple of months ago, and we're not quite used to living there yet, I guess."
"Weird." Kyle piped up. "I'm from England, too. I moved to Ohio so that I could find a job there, and then met her." He finished, glancing at Jackie.
I wonder if they're a couple? I thought, but decided that I'd find out sooner or later.
Jackie continued, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Yep. He's like an older brother to me." Nope, guess not. "He needed a place to stay since his rent was about to go out in his apartment, so he stayed at my place for a while. I had worked with him some, and we had become friends." She shrugged. "I guess I'm stuck with him now."
Kyle started. "So what are you guys doing all the way over here?"
"Vacation. We needed a break from work." I answered.
"Work?" Haylee teased. "What work? And what do you mean by break?"
Chris teased back. "Well, maybe you should live your life a little and stop writing for once." He turned to Jackie and Kyle. "She's an author. Never takes a break."
This is when our conversation broke into little groups. Jackie started to talk with Haylee, while Chris and I talked with Kyle. I found out that he had an interest in music, but couldn't sing even if he tried. He's been looking for a band that would take him, but couldn't find one. I caught him up on what Chris and I were doing with The Virgin Records and all that, and I invited him to the band. He accepted with only a tiny bit of persuasion needed.
Talking a little more, I found out more about what was happening in his world. Him and Jackie were sharing a house in Ohio, but were planning to move to PA. Their car had broken down once they got here in Arizona, so they rented an apartment, and were planning to stay there once their car was fixed. I invited them to tag along with us, since we would be staying for a while in our little camper. I figured that they could move in with one of us for a bit, until they found a house that they liked. If fact, I had seen some houses for sale a few miles down from the road I live on. It would take a while to get everything settled, but it would be worth it. I shared my idea with Kyle, and he said that he'd bring it up with Jackie, but most likely she would agree to it, since she was the one that wanted to move so bad. We exchanged numbers, and agreed to talk about it later.
"Oh, this is just fantastic." I heard Haylee say from in front of us. Looking up, I saw that we had come to a rocky slope, and it looked like there was no other way around it.
"Well, the sooner we start, the sooner we finish." Jackie said, beginning to inch her way down the slope, Haylee following close behind. I slide down beside her, wondering if we could talk without anybody overhearing, since they were concentrating on where they were placing their feet and hands.
"So what did you learn about Jackie?" I asked.
She shrugged, grabbing ahold of a rock and making her way slowly down. "She loves nature, and wants to get a job as a teacher. We have a lot in common, actually."
She finished, hesitating before starting again. "Hey, Dan."
"Hmm?" I answer, but before she could speak, her foot slipped on a rock, and with a squeal of shock, she lost her balance, her sun hat flying off. Loosened rocks tumbled down with her.
"Haylee!" I yelled, racing over the rocks and fighting to keep my footing. Haylee stopped herself from sliding too far, grabbing a solid stone.
"Ow." She said, examining her right calf. Blood was oozing from a gash, dripping onto the rocks. "Oh, isn't that lovely?" She said, wincing as she tried to get up.
"Here. Sit down." I started, pulling a tangerine of water out of my pack. "Lay down on your stomach so that I can clean this up."
"I'm not helpless, Dan."
"I know, but it'll be easier for me to do it." By this time, the rest of our group was gathered around Haylee, and Jackie was pulling out a piece of cloth. Chris had retrieved her hat. I opened the tangerine, pouring water on her cut.
"Here." Jackie handed me the white cloth. "I don't have a first aid kit, so this'll have to do."
"Thanks." I mumbled, wrapping Haylee's calf and covering the wound.
"Ow." She repeated as I tied it tight.
"Sorry, but this'll help, I promise." I said, offering my hand to pull her to her feet. "Can you walk?"
"Of course I can walk. It's not like my whole leg got chopped off." She limped the rest of the way down to the bottom, which was luckily not far away. Chris came behind her, pressing the sun hat crookedly on her head.
"Thanks." She said, straightening it and smiling.
She turned to me. "And thanks to you, I won't bleed to death today." Her smile grew wider as she spoke. I returned her smile, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Not today." I replied, but before we could get any farther, I heard Kyle call from around a corner.
"Hey, guys. I think we just got ourselves un-lost." Following his voice, we walked around the corner, seeing a traveler's sign:
It was pointing to the left, where a rocky uphill then stairs went up, and then it finally leveled out.
"Oh, this is great. The one muscle you use most for uphill climbing, and mine is all messed up." I barely heard Haylee mumbled under her breath.
"Hey. I'll be right here the whole time. If I could carry you I would, but I don't think I have enough stamina for that." I smiled, trying to lift Haylee's spirits.
It worked. "Yeah. No, I'll be fine. Hopefully." With that, we began our long climb, our pace slowed a bit with Haylee's injured calf. Jackie and Kyle were murmuring amongst themselves, and I guessed that they were probably talking about moving to Pennsylvania.
When we finally got to the top, we found our group, and nonchalantly scooted to the back the crowd.
Tori was finishing up. "Okay, guys. We hope that you have had a great time here today, and wish to see you again tomorrow." With that, the crowd was dismissed, and we all went shuffling back to our own cars.
"Hey, Kyle. Text me if you want to clear things up a bit. We could invite you over our camper or something." I said as we parted. He gave me a thumbs-up, and we all hopped into the car. I ended up driving, with Haylee in the passenger seat and Chris in the back.
"So what's going on with you and Kyle?" She asked once we were on the road. I caught her up on the conversation that we had, and how he had wanted to move to PA with Jackie. She thought that it was a great idea, and that Jackie would be welcome to move in with her. She suggested that Kyle move in with me, since him and I were a bit closer than she was with him.
That night, I invited Kyle and Jackie over tomorrow at one, since our next tour of the Grand Canyon was going to be on Monday. Turning my thoughts off, I closed my eyes, slipping into a dreamless sleep.

Other Words for TryingMature
The car swerved in, and I could hear the window open up. A black speaker faced him, beside a large menu of red, yellow and white. The food looked highly uninviting as did the strong smell of leftover animal guts coming from all the way from indoors.
"Hi, welcome, what would you like to order?" A woman's muffled voice sounded through the speaker.
"Uh, one McSpicy Chicken meal with coke and... What do you want to have, babe?" He asked me, shamelessly.
"Whatever. Chicken nuggets and coke," I answered. The coke, as far as I knew, was just mountains of sugar. It would act as a diluter for the taste of the conglomerate of chicken insides.
"And six piece chicken nuggets and coke with sweet and sour sauce, please. No super size, thank you." I ought to have thanked him for his removing my burden of having to choose a sauce for my dinner.
"Is that all, sir?"
"That'll be $11.95. Please pick up and pay at the front. Thank you!"
The car drove slowly further up, the open window permitting the hurried sound of the same lady's voice attending to what was probably her hundredth customer of the past hour. One would think that even after all those documentaries and lifestyle channel shows on eating healthy would reduce the number of Americans showing up at McDonald's.
"Six piece chicken nuggets, McSpicy burger meal, and two cokes - is that right, sir?"
The girl looked up at us after reading through the order receipt. The high cheek bones, the huge hoops and the frizzy tied up red hair looked very familiar. The tag pinned to her black apron read Denise, with a bright yellow 'M' next to it.
"Oh, uh, hi," I greeted awkwardly.
Denise frowned, either out of surprise or offense that I acknowledged her. "Hello... Is that the right order?" She asked indifferently.
"Yeah, thanks," I said as Scott accepted the brown paper bags. The repulsive smell dispersed throughout the car in an instant. He looked inside the bag for a final check, and turned his head towards Denise.
"Hey, do you think we could get some more ketchup?" He requested. Denise gave a skeptical smile, obviously offended and reached into a drawer behind the counter.
"As much as you want." She handed Scott four more packets which he accepted with a nod and courteous smile.
"We really didn't need that..." I murmured, as Scott handed the paper bags for me to hold while he drove off.
Ketchup?! I sighed in disbelief at Scott's insensitivity. His fingers were tracing the structure of my knee, the car having stopped at a red light. I was tempted to open one of those packets of ketchup and squirt it all over his "fohawk".
We were heading to one of the few places that played drive-in movies every Friday night. It was mostly a place for teenagers to gather and lose their virginity in the backseat of the car, rather than watch the cheesy romantic comedy on screen. I was determined not to lose it that way, and definitely not with Scott.
"It's cold," I said, as I crossed my legs and faked a shiver.
"Well, you are wearing shorts Ree."

New Mexicans will march for science on Saturday
On Wednesday evening, students, baby boomers, dogs, kids and organizers for the Albuquerque March for Science spread across a corner of Bataan Park, making signs, trying on yellow T-shirts and getting to know one another. When they rally in downtown Albuquerque on Saturday, expect their protest signs to be clever. Or very nerdy. In the park, participants were drawing inspiration from Isaac Newton, Jane Goodall and Neil deGrasse Tyson. One sign read, "Einstein was a refugee."
The nonpartisan event, which is planned for Washington, D.C. and hundreds of cities around the United States, is modeled on the Women's March in January.

Argentina's La Lata to Meet With Bondholders on Payment TermsPablo Gonzalez
Central Termica Loma de la Lata SA, owned by Argentina's biggest electricity company, will meet with bondholders in an attempt to restructure the terms of its 2015 bonds.
La Lata, as the company owned by Pampa Energia SA is known, will have the meeting on March 1 in Buenos Aires to discuss changing its interest payments, it said in a note sent to the Argentine regulator.
On Nov. 23, the company said an electric storm halted its TurboVapor unit, prompting Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings analysts to say La Lata may struggle to service the bonds, as the damaged turbine accounts for almost 90 percent of the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda.
Loma de la Lata has $166 million of 2015 unsecured notes outstanding, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The damaged turbine was sent to Germany for repairs and should be back and operating in a matter of days, a company official who can't be named according to the company's internal policy said. He declined to comment on new terms for the bonds.

|esql with Vars, or esql diff of the moment...
|Mon, 25 Sep 2000 14:33:16 GMT
After Donald pointed out the thread less than safety issue of last week's <xsp:variable> patch for global vars, I had to rethink how I was goin to pass dunamic java variables to esql queries. The answer turned out to be quite simple. Why not pass the esql:query string to the method, instead of "hard-coding" it into the _esql_session? So I did just that. The diff, as it were is below. Now, this is the warning - the testing on this patch is *VERY* rudimentary - I havemn't tried it with esql queries within esql results. Yet. Anyone have any feedback on this one?

Old Man Winter Still Making An Impact On Michigan
Lake Superior is expected to have one of the coldest summer's in decades following the record setting chill of this past winter.
Scientists at the Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments Center, a federally funded collaboration between University of Michigan and Michigan State University, are predicting that North America's largest lake will be at least 6 degrees Fahrenheit colder than normal by August.
reports state scientists believe Lake Superior hasn't had such cold temperatures since perhaps as far back as 1979.
Lake Superior is the deepest and northernmost of the five Great Lakes and is normally ice-free by April, but large chunks of ice could still be seen floating in the lake over the Memorial Day weekend.

Bids awarded for two Cass road projects
LONGVILLE — Cass County Board awarded contracts Tuesday for two road construction projects.
Red Lake Builders won the contract to rebuild County Road 109 with the lowest of five bids received. Their $499,423.42 bid was 1.35 percent under engineering estimates. That road will be paved in 2012 under a contract yet to be advertised.
It is the last county road (numbered over 100 and ineligible for state aid funds) on the schedule the county had to pave roads carrying 100 or more vehicles per day.
Tri-City Paving won the contract with the lowest of four bids to mill and overlay a section of County State Aid Highway 1 with a $140,003.50 bid. That ran 7.1 percent under engineering estimates.
County Engineer David Enblom and Commissioner Neal Gaalswyk took the county's annual trip this year to Washington, D.C., to lobby congressmen about the importance of federal highway funding for county road projects.
Enblom said they found Rep. Chip Cravaack, R-Minn., serving his first term, had not been informed of the federal funding program for local highways within federal forests. Enblom said he and Gaalswyk were able to present information about county roads this program has helped fund and about the money the county now seeks to improve CSAH 8.
They also met with Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and gained support for their project from both congressional officials.
County Economic Development Director Gail Leverson gave the county board an update on work that non-profit agency is doing. The county has contributed $259,000 to the EDC since 2004, she said.
During that time, Cass EDC has obtained $3,600,000 in grants for communities in the county, helped create over 500 jobs and drawn over $58,000,000 in capital investment for businesses in the county, according to Leverson.
During the last year, she has helped the following new businesses: JT Industries Inc. and Jr's 19 BBQ Snack Bar at Pine River, Inside-Out Manufacturing at Longville, Remer Cut Stock expansion at Remer and Smart Image Solutions at Motley.
Current projects include establishing a Central Lakes College outreach site where people can take college classes at Pine River and computer assistance lab where students can take on-line college classes at Pine River, helping the city of Walker extend city sewer and water to 11 additional lots in the industrial park and the development of a 12-unit assisted living apartment complex at Remer, she said.
The EDC had $919,884 grants approved last year for some these projects and for business improvements in Walker and Hackensack.
Local governments, businesses and individuals also help support the EDC with annual memberships. For more information about becoming an EDC member, contact Leverson at (218) 947-7522.
Cass County Family Centers gave the board an update on their services to support families and children.
Leslie Bouchonville, Pine River Family Center Director, said the county's $37,500 contribution to the family centers now represents only about 2 percent of the overall income to operate the five centers.
Foundation grants, donations, state and federal grants, income from thrift stores, schools and user fees provide most of the money for the $1,668,613 total budget, she explained.
Services provided at family centers include child abuse prevention, child and teen checkup clinics, early childhood (home visiting, preschool, child care), family functioning (food shelf, family support) and youth services (after school programs and mentoring).
Family centers are located at Pillager, Pine River, Longville, Walker and Cass Lake. Bouchonville said each center tailors their programs differently to meet their community's needs.
The county board Tuesday approved contracting with LouAnn Maschler to inspect 236 private sewer systems in the Lake Margaret Watershed at $45 per system and Aaron Kellerman at $49 per system to inspect systems on Sylvan Lake in a voluntary program.
They presented the lowest of eight bids the county received. Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources will fund the inspections under a state grant.
Environmental Services Director John Ringle reported Cass, Crow Wing and Hubbard Counties and Leech Lake Reservation will receive a $20,000 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency grant to collect electronic waste.
Cass will receive $451,440 federal payment in lieu of taxes this year. Of that, $316,007 will go to the county and $135,433 will be divided among townships overlapping the Chippewa National Forest.
Due to harsh winter weather conditions, the county board extended by 45 days the deadline three contractors had to finish re-establishing government survey corners in the county. The project is still scheduled to be completed this year.
The contractors are Northern Engineering and Consulting Inc., Short Elliot Hendrickson Inc. and Westwood Professional Services Inc.
Health, Human and Veterans Services Director Reno Wells reported the county had spent only 36.73 percent of that budget after 41.67 percent of the year at the end of May.
The county had spent only 35 percent of the budget for out of home child placements.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation

You know he wants one. Desperately. All he needs to do is follow the lead of Australia's new prime minister Kevin Rudd. As Reuters tells us, Australia raised hopes of global action to fight climate change on Monday by agreeing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, thereby isolating the United States at the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali as the only rich nation not in the pact.
Australia's decision won a standing ovation at the opening of tough two-week negotiations on the Indonesian resort isle. The talks aim to pull together rich and poor countries around a common agenda to agree a broader successor to Kyoto by 2009.
Think of it. George, alone in his corner, snarling at the world. He could travel to the lovely isle of Bali, relax, unwind, then stand before the summit and agree to Do The Right Thing. He would get so much more than a standing ovation. Hallelujahs. Laurel Wreaths. A Nobel. The relieved thanks of the world. A kinder place in history.
What a pretty dream

Electric and hybrid cars could act as energy stores for the power grid when not being driven. New Scientist reports that researchers from the University of Delaware are using a new prototype by AC Propulsion to store or supply grid electricity (Washington DC got a first dose in October). If hundreds or thousands of owners opt into the system, the efficiency of power distribution could improve. A lot. The average US car is driven one out of every 24 hours. Combustion-powered cars are useless off the road. But plug-ins could act as backups to the grid while idle.
"Storage is golden for power companies because it is hard to do," [Willet] Kempton told New Scientist, who notes that the cost of storing excess electricity means that there is only capacity for around 1% of yield in the US and UK. Storage is particularly important for renewable energy because power supplied by the Sun, the oceans, or the wind, is often irregular.
Each plug-in can provide $4,000 of storage to an energy company per year, at a cost of $600 to install the high-power connection system. Energy companies need to pass on some of their savings to encourage drivers to help out, says Kempton… Hmm. Technology might be the easy part.

Pennsylvania State University environmental engineers have developed a fuel cell that uses pollution from coal and metal mines to generate electricity. Bruce E. Logan and colleagues describe successful tests of a lab-scale fuel cell based on microbial fuel cells capable of generating electricity from wastewater. Their device removes dissolved iron from solution while generating electricity at power levels similar to conventional microbial fuel cells (the recovered iron can be used in paints or other products). Better yet, the researchers say, later generations of these cells will lead to more efficient power generation in the future.
Engineers may save us yet.

"Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E." Mother Nature probably agrees with Tammy Wynette. According to a recent Michigan State University study, divorce is taking a major toll on the environment.
Some of the findings:
* In the United States alone in 2005, divorced households used 73 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water that could have been saved had household size remained the same as that of married households. Thirty-eight million extra rooms were needed with associated costs for heating and lighting.
* In the United States and 11 other countries such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Greece, Mexico and South Africa between 1998 and 2002, if divorced households had combined to have the same average household size as married households, there could have been 7.4 million fewer households in these countries.
* The numbers of divorced households in these countries ranged from 40,000 in Costa Rica to almost 16 million in the United States around 2000.
* The number of rooms per person in divorced households was 33 percent to 95 percent greater than in married households.
But the researchers also point out that divorce is just part of the picture: In the U.S., multigenerational households have become less common over the past few decades. What's more, single people are putting off getting married, and hence living alone for longer. Seems like the only bright side about sky-high rent, then, is that it might actually make some cities greener (since fewer people can afford to live alone).

Doing its part in the high-brow Priusification of the green movement, the New York Times has just released its "Ski Issue," reporting on the conversion of luxurious Swiss ski resorts into nothing more than luxurious Swiss sun decks and spas as snowfall even in the Alps decreases. Meanwhile one music fan and YouTube user has posted an unofficial video on behalf of the L.A. band HEALTH that honors another imminent casualty of Switzerland's suddenly sultry climate. By pairing the heroic track "Heaven" with footage from Werner Herzog's 1973 documentary The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner about Swiss ski jumper Walter Steiner, Bret Berg touches on a quandary heretofore neglected by the Times and many others: If the Alpine snowfields melt into a miserable puddle, whatever will become of the high-flying Swiss?

Also largely absent from today's news—unless you read offshore, say, at the BBC—the portentous UN Climate Change Summit 2007 opening today in Bali. Governments are assembled to discuss how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions after 2012 when the current Kyoto Protocol targets expire. You know the Kyoto Protocol, the one Bush never signed, dooming it to irrelevance.
This is the first big international meet since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that evidence for global warming is "unequivocal." What's Bush's stance this time around? The BBC put it diplomatically:
Meanwhile, US President George Bush—who favours voluntary rather than mandatory targets—issued a statement saying that the nation's emissions had fallen by 1.5% in 2006 from levels in 2005.
Bush—that champion of weird math and damn the consequences—hopes his numbers will enable the US to avoid doing what everyone else is in Bali to do: agree to binding emissions targets. This even though
150 multinationals last week did just that, according to Business Green,
including Coca-Cola, Gap, Nike, British Airways, Nestlé, Nokia, Shell, Tesco and Virgin, as well as a number of Chinese companies such as Shanghai Electric and Suntech.

Global agriculture could go into steep, unanticipated declines due to complications that scientists have so far inadequately considered. So say three new reports published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Predicted changes from 1- to 5-degree C temperature rises in coming decades fail to account for seasonal extremes of heat, drought or rain, multiplier effects of spreading diseases or weeds, and other ecological upsets. All are believed more likely in the future, according to The Earth Institute at Columbia University:
"Many people assume that we will never have a problem with food production on a global scale. But there is a strong potential for negative surprises," said Francesco Tubiello, a physicist and agricultural expert at the NASA/Goddard Institute of Space Studies who coauthored all three papers. Existing research estimates that developing countries may lose 334 million acres of prime farm land in the next 50 years. After mid-century, continuing temperature rises—5 degrees C or more by then—are expected to start adversely affecting northern crops as well, tipping the whole world into a danger zone.
Is there any mention of any of these three papers anywhere in the mainstream news? Not that I can find. The world goes on, as usual, headlining inconsequentials and absurdities.

Early QuartersThe quarter dollar was one of the original denominations established under the Coinage Act of 1792. The first production would not take place until four years later, following the introduction of the other silver coinage authorized.
Although the quarter dollar holds a place of importance within the current coinage system, in the early days of the United States, it was less essential. Smaller denominations were used for everyday commerce, while larger ones were requested by silver depositors.
The Draped Bust Quarter was introduced in 1796 and featured a design by Robert Scot. The obverse contained an image of Liberty with hair lightly bound and bust partially draped. For the first year of issue, the reverse design featured an eagle positioned within a wreath.
After this one year of production, the denomination would not be struck again until 1804. At this time, a new reverse design was adopted containing a heraldic eagle. This made the previous issue, a rare one-year type coin. Production with the new design would take place each year from 1804 to 1807, representing the duration of this original series.
The Capped Bust Quarter would be introduced in 1815, containing a new rendition of Liberty designed by John Reich. The reverse design would contain an eagle with a shield at its breast, holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons.
This series is also considered in two parts. For the initial years from 1815 to 1828, the coins were struck in 89.24% silver and 10.76% copper and had a diameter of 27 mm. After the Mint adopted better coining equipment, new specifications were adopted for used from 1831 to 1838. These coins were struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, with a diameter of 27 mm.
These series of early quarters hold an important place within the numismatic history of America and include noted rarities. Assembling a collection or studying the series can be a rewarding experience.

Tough Love In A Literal Sense
Chapter 19
Tough Love In A Literal Sense
I hated to leave Raphael, leave the kiss filled with affection, but it was getting late and believe it or not, I had to get my share of sleep for tommorow. And knowing that it would probably take me hours to get my mind off the moment and get some proper sleep, I'd left him.
Sleep was calling me ever so sweetly but my mind just wouldn't give in. Everytime I closed my eyes, I'd feel his lips softly pressing against mine and I'd open them again, to see if Raphael was really there.
Sighing, I turned over for the millionth time and stuffed my face into the pillow.
"Damn it Adriana! Go to sleep!!!" My yell came out in a muffle. Squeezing my eyes shut, I forced for sleep to reign over me and this time, it did.
I woke up late, extremely late. I turned over and stretched, getting up then looked at the clock on my bedside table. 10.00 a.m. Yawning, I stretched again before freezing. Hell!
Without even taking a shower, I hurried to put on some clothes, ditched breakfast and ran for it. School started two hours ago! And I'd already missed so much classes! With a groan, I ran faster toward the campus. I hope Raphael didn't think I'd rejected him or something just because I didn't show up in the elevator this time.
Finally, after getting a tardy pass and walking into class, I slumped in my seat, my forehead hitting the top of my desk softly. Man this sucked. But at once, my energy went up when I thought of lunch time which was only an hour away now. I'd see Raphael.
I almost ran to the cafeteria when the bell rang for the end of class. Pushing past the students in the crowded hallways of the school, I ran towards the entrance to the caf; almost tripping over four times. I finally entered inside, the cool air condition hitting me with instant relief. Gasping for breath and ignoring the stares I got for my erratic entrance, I looked around, trying to spot where he was.
That's when I saw Tracy's arm waving over at me. Sitting across her and patting the empty seat next to him, was Raphael. I almost started running again, when I noticed I was already enough of a wreck and walked.
"Hey," I said, sitting down next to him.
He smiled, interlacing his fingers in mine before giving me a soft peck on the cheek.
The gang didn't have to hear it from us to figure out the relationship between me and Raphael. Seeing the kiss he'd given me on the cheek, they just all slyly grinned at each other and nodded, understanding. That was it, the day went on normal as ever after that.
Except for the occasional public signs of affection we gave each other. Once I was done eating, Raphael had taken me out the cafeteria, so we were alone in the desserted hallways and given me a kiss which I'd happily returned.
After that, I'd find him waiting outside class for me, walking me to the next one, kissing me one more time before leaving. Of course we got told off by the stupid teachers. Guess we were having a 'tough love'. I grinned to myself at the thought.
