Google is invading the traditional desktop with a new feature for Chrome that lets you launch Web apps and Chrome standalone apps directly from the Windows taskbar without starting your browser. The new app launcher is ported from Google's browser-in-a-box operating system, Chrome OS, and puts all your Chrome apps under one icon on your taskbar. The feature makes it even easier for Windows users to fire up Chrome apps instead of full-fledged desktop applications for everything from editing documents to chatting over IRC to reading e-books.
Chrome's app launcher is not quite ready for prime time; the feature is only available on the developer version of Chrome for Windows. The official release should show up in the stable version of Chrome in the coming months. Google also has plans to add the app launcher to Chrome for Mac and Linux in the coming weeks.
How the Chrome App Launcher works
To get started, you need to download the Chrome for Windows developer version from Google's dev channel. If you're already running Chrome, this will replace your current version with the developer release. Keep in mind, the developer version can sometimes break features or introduce browser crashes, so you may not want to work with it if you rely on Chrome day to day. The good news is you can easily switch back to the public release of Chrome by downloading and installing the current stable version.
Packaged apps
Once you've got the developer version up and running, you need to install a Chrome packaged app before you will see the Chrome OS app launcher on your taskbar. If you already use a packaged app, delete then reinstall it to see the launcher. Packaged apps, introduced to Chrome last June, are desktop-like apps that open in their own window and work offline, but are based on Chrome and built with Web technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript and CSS.
You install packaged apps from the Web store like any other Chrome app, but currently there is no simple way to find or search for packaged apps. Google suggests users can ease the process by installing either the CIRC IRC client or a text editor called Text Drive to try out Chrome's new app launcher functionality.
For our purposes, let's say you decide to install Text Drive.
Once you click the "Add to Chrome" button you should see a pop-up window like the one above asking whether you want to enable the Chrome App Launcher. Click "Get the launcher" to install it, and a 9-square grid should appear in your taskbar. Like any good Windows app, installing App Launcher will also add a launch icon to your desktop.
After the launcher is installed, you will be asked to continue installing Text Drive for Chrome as you normally would by clicking "Add" and downloading the CRX file.
Once you've got the app launcher, all your Chrome apps will be available from your taskbar and will no longer appear in the browser when you open an empty tab. Click the Chrome App Launcher and a pop-up window will show all your Chrome apps. The app launcher can display 16 apps at once, and you will be able to scroll to a second page similar to the way you would using an empty tab in Chrome. Any Web apps you open show up as a new tab in your current Chrome session while packaged apps appear in their own window.
Adding the Chrome App Launcher to traditional desktop PCs should be a helpful addition for hardcore Chrome users who need easy access to their Web apps. Chrome's launcher also adds a little bit of that Chrome OS feel to other operating systems, which may be Google's real goal. I can't help wondering whether Google plans on other Chrome OS features to its Windows and Mac browsers in the hopes of convincing more desktop-bound users to give Google's cloud-based notebooks a try.
This story, "Google adds Chrome OS app launcher to Windows taskbar" was originally published by PCWorld.

EXCLUSIVE: Cary Berman was a veteran William Morris agent who joined with Endeavor's Jessica Thomas to co-head the new agency's commercial department. Now Berman is leaving and Thomas is staying.
WME Co-Head Of Commercial Dept Leaving
25 Comments
Jessica has a past with Patrick. Saw this coming a mile away.
I've known Cary since he worked at Triad. He called me the first day, to pitch his vo clients for a live action pilot I was casting. He was patient, kind and funny as I struggled to imagine how his name client's voices sounded (never cast vo before). It was love at first phone call. He is one of the most supportive, kind, honest, smart and talented agents around. In fact, when Triad merged with WM, he ended up negotiating my casting deals. I knew he would display all those qualities and more in repping me. He will do well with whatever he decides to do with his life, but at least now he has time to smell the roses.
Hey Oops,I don't know what "you saw coming", past or no past, that Jessica may have with Patrick. Cary was a star at that company admired, respected and incredibly successful with all the celebrity clients. Believe it or not, sometimes people like that, actually walk away on their leaving an extremely successful position, to see what else life has to offer. Good luck Cary, whatever you do, you'll do it well!!
I have known Cary for 29 years both personally and professionally. I have to say that it saddens me to read the crap that people feel compelled to write and the ridiculous speculation that they seem to feel compelled to participate in. Well, you're wrong. Clearly, you're not someone who understands what it is to give your life to your career or the gift of being able to manage your money and your life so that you can take it back before it's too late. This was Cary's decision. One that I urged him to make years ago. He's so incredibly talented. I hope that he takes this time to enjoy everything that he's missed until now. Good for you for making the leap. It's a very courageous move that most people only dream about making!
There will be no one left of what was once a spectacular institution. Why did they even bother with the name?
Ari said that within three years of the merger, he wanted the same number of agents that Endeavor had prior to the merger. That's why he squeezed everyone into Endeavor's existing offices and broke the lease for the large building that WMA was about to move into on Beverly.
Cary is a fantastic guy. He handled the merger like a champ, and he'll do well wherever he lands.
Cary is a true class act!!!
Cary is a great guy and a terrific Agent. He has done a wonderful job for a very long time.
Berman is the best Agent around – they don't make them like this anymore. A class act and a very loyal guy – now maybe I'll be able to get him to Rep me again. :-)
A great guy. Onward and upward buddy.
I had no idea Endeavor even had a commercial department before the merger. This is shocking.
I'd love to know how many agents are actually left from WMA?…
All of Music/PA, most of MP lit, a lot of non-scripted TV, all of books, theater… then just a handful of others.
I've shared clients with Cary and his group for many years. He and his partner Tim Curtis are hands down the two best celebrity endorsement agents in the entire business. They are always honest, kind but firm, and have made my clients a hell of a lot of money. I wish they could represent all of my clients. I don't know Jessica well, but I'm glad Tim will still be there to hold down the fort.
I was lucky to work with cary on a deal for a top female celeb. He is 100% a class act. The best in the business and honest. whoever he goes, he will do well.
Cary is a terrific agent and a friend and mentor to many. I've never met a kinder man. He will be missed terribly.
what is going on at wme?! another great one leaves the sinking ship.
Cary is the greatest. He is a leader when needed, a mentor when needed, and most importantly, a friend when needed. I am so happy he is leaving at his discretion, and not WME's. He is classy and deserves to be treated classy. He deserves only the best.
Good luck Cary. As many people have said, "when you leave that place even the food tastes better!"
Cary is in old school gentleman agent. Buyers respect him. Clients like him. Cary can do whatever he wants at this point.
Hey JMF, how does it feel watching the family company so many of our ancestors sacrificed for, just die and be scavenged?
Cary Berman is one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. When I started at Disney Feature Animation many years ago, he was the first agent to call and welcome me and offer me his support. He has mentored all of his assistants – many of whom are now excellent agents themselves. Cary is a good, kind person. He is loyal, honest and caring. I am so happy that he has moved out of a job that made him unhappy and is now out in the world ready to shine. Go Cary!!
Just wanted to reiterate all of the positive things said so far about Cary. I worked with him for 15 years at WMA and NEVER saw anything but complete professionalism in everything that he did. I will go out of my way to support him in his future endeavors (perhaps a bad choice of words). CLASS ACT – another good one bites the dust at WMEE. Cary – DON'T LOOK BACK FOR EVEN A MINUTE!
when are all these agents going to team up and start a new power agency?! david guillod im talking to you!
Cary is one of the best agents I've known. I've been working in the agency business for a decade and have worked closely with him most of that time. He is a class act and I hope he gets whatever he is looking for. What a wonderful human being!
Has Cary landed anywhere? Is he retired?
Now he has time to enjoy life for HIMSELF!
One of the best this business has.

Pizza Makes the World Go 'Round.
By Imad Khan
Writer/Artist Yehudi Mercado brings to the world a three volume graphic novel that will leave readers speechless. The character centric narrative along with the premise is both refreshing and engrossing. Simply put, Buffalo Speedway is a ton of fun.
Buffalo Speedway is probably the most unique tale I have read to date. Taking place in 1994, all in a single day, on the busiest pizza day in history, the story follows a delivery boy named Figgs. On this day Figgs faces a multitude of issues ranging from love, to racial discrimination, to even a "midlife crisis," although he's only 24. Figgs' employer, Mr. B, proposes a top driver race to deal with the massive influx of calls. The objective is simple: the driver that delivers the most pizza's by the end of the night wins 10,000 dollars.
The cartoon-like art style in Buffalo Speedway is one of its strongest characteristics. Outlines are dark and colors are vibrant which gives every character a lot of personality. More interestingly, every chapter has a list of tracks that the reader can play while reading the book. It only adds to the overall charm and makes the tale that much more captivating.
There is very little wrong with Buffalo Speedway. Other than being a tad corny at times, it's well written, has tons of polish, compels deeply, and becomes impossible to put down. Books such as this give me hope for the future of the industry. I recommend this book to the highest degree.

Technically, this will be President Obama's first State of the Union address -- first-year presidents aren't expected to know enough about the union's true condition to give a full-length speech.
But Obama, like many of his predecessors, did speak to a joint session of Congress last year that served as a de facto SOTU. Here are some highlights from that Feb. 24 address, with some comments on the way things stand now.
THEN: "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is now law. Over the next 2 years, this plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs. More than 90 percent of these jobs will be in the private sector: jobs rebuilding our roads and bridges, constructing wind turbines and solar panels, laying broadband and expanding mass transit."
NOW: Unemployment continues to climb and is now at 10 percent. Obama says the $787 billion recovery act -- also known as the stimulus bill -- prevented another Great Depression, and that unemployment would be even higher without it. He also notes that the economy is starting to grow again and jobs should follow.
THEN: "Credit has stopped flowing the way it should. Too many bad loans from the housing crisis have made their way onto the books of too many banks. And with so much debt and so little confidence, these banks are now fearful of lending out any more money to households, to businesses, or even to each other."
NOW: Obama continues to pressure banks to provide more loans, while bashing the bigger ones for awarding executives big bonuses.
THEN: "To ensure that a crisis of this magnitude never happens again, I ask Congress to move quickly on legislation that will finally reform our outdated regulatory system. It is time to put in place tough, new, commonsense rules of the road so that our financial market rewards drive and innovation, and punishes shortcuts and abuse."
NOW: A package of reforms is working its way through Congress; Obama may pitch additional proposed rules during his State of the Union speech on Wednesday night.
THEN: "I ask this Congress to send me legislation that places a market-based cap on carbon pollution and drives the production of more renewable energy in America."
NOW: Cap and trade legislation languishes in Congress; Obama's efforts to develop a global deal on global warming has met resistance from other world leaders.
THEN: "Everyone recognizes that years of bad decision making and a global recession have pushed our automakers to the brink. We should not, and will not, protect them from their own bad practices. But we are committed to the goal of a retooled, re-imagined auto industry that can compete and win."
NOW: The government bailed out and ordered the re-structuring of Chyrsler and General Motors, and owns stakes in both companies.
THEN: "Nearly a century after Teddy Roosevelt first called for reform, the cost of our health care has weighed down our economy and our conscience long enough. So let there be no doubt: Health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."
NOW: The House and Senate both passed major health care bills. But efforts to merge them have been crippled by the election of a Republican senator from Massachusetts, giving the GOP the ability to filibuster final legislation. The fate of health care remains uncertain.
THEN: "I will soon announce a way forward in Iraq that leaves Iraq to its people and responsibly ends this war."
NOW: U.S. troops are on track to leave Iraq by the end of 2011.
THEN: "We will forge a new and comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan to defeat Al Qaida and combat extremism."
NOW: On Dec. 1, Obama announced plans to deploy 30,000 more U.S. troops
THEN: "I have ordered the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay and will seek swift and certain justice for captured terrorists. Because living our values doesn't make us weaker, it makes us safer and it makes us stronger."
NOW: Gitmo remains open. The administration continues to talk to other countries about taking prisoners, while planning to build a new domestic detention facility in northern Illinois.
THEN: "As we stand at this crossroads of history, the eyes of all people in all nations are once again upon us, watching to see what we do with this moment, waiting for us to lead. Those of us gathered here tonight have been called to govern in extraordinary times. It is a tremendous burden, but also a great privilege."
NOW: Ditto.

Seven Gates of Hell near Fairmont
Posted in the Enterprise Forum
United States
#1 Aug 5, 2010
A guy who went to high school about twenty years ago says he remembers a lot of talk around school of a location in the woods near Fairmont known as the Seven Gates of Hell. Research online revealed that many states had these so-called passageways to the underworld, but I could find no reference to Fairmont's supposed location. Does anyone out there in Fairmont Topix Land remember something like this from their school days?
Don't give me any B.S. about it being near a Lilac Bush.

The seven gates of hell is any of the 7 entrances to Fairmont

I know where it is. But, I am not telling unless there is something in it for me.

But I thought she only had three gates.
#10 Oct 12, 2010
I remember running around various parts of Marion County in search of the seven gates. It was a lot of fun at 2 in the morning when I was 18 and bored with my bored friends. We went to some place in Colfax called Vinegar Hill. There was a cometary on top of the hill with a bull in the field you had to cross to get to it and an electric fence. Yes such fun but then again this was before the internet and the cool video games came out. AND yes way before caller ID so prank calling was still fun. But back to the Seven Gates...wasn't there supposed to be a blond haired, blue eyed virgin sacrificed on the full moon too? Oh the fun days before mortgages and car payments...but that was the only one we found...supposedly there is one in Mannington. So anyone know the other Five?
United States
#11 Oct 12, 2010
According to wvghosts.com , Vinegar Hill is the place where "Every 13 years on Halloween you can hear two boys screaming and hear a vinegar barrel hitting the lake; and the first person they see, they haunt for 13 years."
The only problem is: when is the point of reference to determine the 13th year? Is this year the 13th year?
Perhaps the person that the boys last saw will post on here, so we'll all know the next time that they are to appear...
#12 Oct 12, 2010
I am one of the boys that screams. I am not screaming again until 2014. That is if there is a full moon and no rain during the day before. If it does rain the day before I will wait 1 year and try again. If it all works out I may even run around the streets of fairmont with a white sheet and yell spooky things for effect. Any other suggestions what I could do to be a good ghost let me know. thanks
#13 Oct 22, 2010
my brother and his friends use to go there a good bit and take people ur there when they were in college.... from what i heard back in the 70s a cult sacrificed several blonde hair and blue eyed kids... they said that they took a def guy and he heard voices telling him to take certain paths they didnt let him of course and that a guy got picked up and thrown down and you could see shapes like on the movie predator.... i believe you go out fisher road its a bunch of log roads
#14 Nov 8, 2010
The only true Seven Gates of Hell is in PA, there was an asylum that burnt down at the end of the road and there are 7 gates along that road. They say no one ever goes past the 7th gate and comes back. There is a place called Witch's Grave or Highland near Wadestown, WV if you are looking for some closer ghost hunting. You should be able to google it.

We do the same thing back where I'm from, Jersey burbs area. Growing up as kids we couldn't wait to get our hands on the newest "Weird NJ" magazine, still running, and in fact spawned a huge collection of novels for other states. 7 Gates Of Hell from what I know is in Centralia, outside of Allentown, and quite a distance from Philly and Scranton, I've never been but I here it's awesome. The mine caught on fire there and hasn't stopped burning for over 50 years, the town has been abandoned and I believe only a couple families live there now.

Me and my friend's use to go to place's like that when we would be out partying. The true story of the seven gates of Hell. A boy was riding his bike from clear up the head of the holler. He was about half way down and got hit by a car an killed, Now at a certain time of the night he ride's his bike down the holler and if you lay down in the road he will run over you and leave tire mark's on your clothes an for awhile you will be parlyzied an can't move. Me and my friend's done it. We did'nt lay down in the road. We saw something glowing and we heard tire's sliding on the dirt road. We all jumped in the car and the boy followed us to the main road and disappeared. We never ever went back. True, Yes very true story. There is seven of us that seen it. Where is the Gate we was at Greentown.

Naming of the National Insurance Building
In honour of Sir Clifford Darling
Baillou Hill Road
Thursday 30th November, 2006
There is no individual living in our country today who is more deserving of the honour that is bestowed in the naming of this building than Sir Clifford Darling.
Sir Clifford can claim the singular distinction of being
the first ever Minister of National Insurance in our countrys history.
He is also justly revered by all Bahamians as one of the great lions of the labouring masses.
It may not be well known to younger generations of Bahamians but the indisputable fact is that with the single possible exception of the late Sir Randol Fawkes; there is no more important a figure in development of the modern trade union movement than Sir Clifford.
Indeed, in the greatest single episode in Bahamian trade union history; namely the great General Strike of 1958; Sir Clifford Darling was the leader of The Bahamas Taxi Cab Union.
He was the primary protagonist in this great drama.
It was a drama that would serve as the catalyst in the momentous political changes of the 1960s, which eventually led to the coming of Majority Rule.
Perhaps his historic role is less well known because of the extreme modesty and humility of the man.
He was always a quiet warrior driven only by an ambition
to be of service to others.
Sir Clifford has always tended to leave the limelight to others, contenting himself instead with the private satisfaction of knowing that he had given of his best in the struggle for political economic and social justice for his brothers and sisters in the labour movement and in the country at large.
The records of history will show that the courage, perseverance and determination of Sir Clifford Darling served as an inspiring example.
He was a shining light to his fellow taxi cab drivers and to all those hundreds of other activists who joined in a united front against economic injustice and oppression.
We have to constantly remind ourselves that this was in 1958 that we are talking about. That was nearly fifty years ago, when The Bahamas was a radically different place than it now is.
Nowadays, our hard won freedoms are deeply ingrained.
So deeply ingrained our these freedoms now, that we are not in any way taken aback when someone or some group takes a bold stand against the status quo.
Back in 1958, however, it was a different story.
It took guts, real guts to stand up and speak out against the injustices of the time.
It took even more courage to do what Clifford Darling
He and his colleagues in the Taxi Cab Union in The Bahamas decided to put their entire livelihoods and the livelihoods of their families on the line in order to press the fight against injustice and oppression.
When we look back now and examine the courage and tactical resourcefulness and stickability of these brave men and women, it cannot but fill us all with a boundless admiration and respect for them.
Sir Cliffords importance to our country has also been reflected in the other high offices to which he ascended during his career as a servant of the people.
He was one of the longest serving Parliamentarians in our modern history, serving initially in the Senate as the first PLP Senator following the constitutional advances in 1964.
From the Senate, his service then extended into a lengthy
and distinguished period as a representative in the Honourable House of
All those years in the House, Sir Clifford represented the people of what would become best known as the Englerston Constituency.
He also gave distinguished service as a member of the Cabinet of Sir Lynden Pindling as the Minister responsible for Labour and National Insurance.
He served further with great distinction as Speaker of the Honourable House of Assembly for many years.
During his time as Speaker, Sir Clifford earned the respect and admiration of both sides of the political divide for his decency and sensed of fair play.
Following this phase of his public life, Sir Clifford was raised to the highest station attainable by any citizen in our land when Her Majesty the Queen was pleased to appoint him as Governor General of our nation.
In this capacity Sir Clifford demonstrated once again
that great spirit of human decency.
In fact, that spirit of human decency has always been the hallmark of his personality.
As Governor General, he proved himself a friend to all manner of persons, no matter their station or calling in life.
His kindness, passion and sensitivity to the needs of others were qualities that he exhibited throughout his distinguished tenure as Governor General.
Notwithstanding what became at one time a particularly challenging experience, he performed his duties with dignity, grace and humility in a way that endeared him to all sectors of our society.
Perhaps I should also add that since retiring from public life Sir Clifford Darling has also demonstrated that he has another important gift; namely the ability to capture his memories and to articulate them in a way that will preserve them for posterity.
I refer of course to the excellent autobiography that Sir Clifford has published with the assistance of Patty Roker.
To those of you who have not read his book, I highly commend
it to you as an important social document. It is a moving and powerful
story which traces the growth and development of a poor young boy from
Chesters Acklins all the way through the momentous changes of the 40s,
50s, and 60s to the high offices of state that he would later hold, all
the way to the highest office in the land.
It is a wonderful story of how dreams can be realised when one is not afraid to dream big and to work with passion and integrity in the service of high ideals.
Sir Clifford is now in the golden years of his life, having fought the good fight for so long on so many different fronts.
He now relaxes from his labours and is enjoying a richly
deserved retirement.
And may I say in that regard how fortunate Sir Clifford is to have by his side his charming wife Lady Igrid Darling, whom I should add, is a published author in her own right, having written a wonderful and useful book on the culinary delights of our Bahamian culture.
I know that Lady Darling has brought great happiness into Sir Cliffords life and has stood beside him for so many years as his wife, companion and closest friend.
In looking back as I am sure he does very frequently nowadays, I know the great sense of satisfaction and pride that must surge within him when he takes account of the great distance we have come.
We have come a mighty long way from 1958. It is in no small part because of the courageous example of heroes like Sir Clifford Darling that we have come as far as we have. For that I thank you Sir Clifford.
I thank you on behalf of my own late father Gladstone Christie who along with other taxi drivers like Jimmy Shepherd and George Ferguson to name but a few, fought alongside you in the trenches of that epic struggle nearly half a century ago.
And I thank you on behalf of all Bahamians, for we have all been the beneficiaries of the struggles and sacrifices you waged and made on our behalf over such a long period of time.
This ceremonial naming of this building after you, Sir Clifford, is our way of saying we have not forgotten.
It is our small way of expressing the great esteem in which we hold you and the gratitude we owe you for your many contributions to the building of the Bahamian people and the Bahamian nation.
This is but one of many tributes that we must extend to
you while you remain with us as one of the elder statesmen of our nation.
You are a great Bahamian. We revere you. We salute you and we thank you for the many good works you have done and for the enormous sacrifices you have made in the cause of freedom, justice and the upliftment of the Bahamian people...
Your life has been a blessing to us and we all wish you well as you continue to serve as an example to all who follow and a constant reminder that we can all aspire to greatness in the service of others.

Working Compact Flash to Thunderbolt solution.
Hi all,
I have been waiting for someone to produce a simple Compact Flash to Thunderbolt adapter, but so far there don't seem to be any on the market. My MacBook Air only has Thunderbolt or USB2.0, and when in the field transferring a days worth of images to my Air and then onto external drives used to take a long time.
I recently bought a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Thunderbolt Adapter for Portable Hard Drives and it bought a GoFlex 1TB hard drive with it.
I quickly realised that the Adapter has a standard SATA interface and discovered that several people on forums were using them with SSD drives.
I then did a search and discovered that you can buy a Compact Flash to SATA interface for a pretty small amount of money.
I ordered one on eBay and it arrived this morning.
I did a speed test using my MacBook Air and a CF to USB adapter. I shot 7.39 GB of RAW and JPEG onto a 32 GB Sandisk CF card with a Canon iD Mark IV.
CF to Mac via USB took 4 mins to transfer.
I then connected the CF card to the Seagate Thunderbolt adapter using the CF to SATA adapter.
The same images took 1 min and 18 secs to transfer.
Transferring the same images from the Mac to the Seagate 1TB drive via Thunderbolt also took 1 min and 18 secs.
Transferring the same images from the Mac to a Western Digital 1TB USB drive took 4 min and 24 secs.
With a lot of images, and making two backups each day the thunderbolt interface can save a lot of time - especially if electricity is in short supply.
Running the Blackmagic Disk Speedtest gave the following results:
32 GB card via USB 3GB size - Read speed 19.5 MB's, Write speed 30.5 MB/s
32 GB card via Thunderbolt - Read speed 66.7 MB/s, Write speed 93 MB/s.
A fair bit faster, I am very pleased with the results.
Feel free to ask any questions if you like.

UAS Ketchikan Faculty & Student Honored at Cisco Networking Academy 10-Year Anniversary Salute
102 Instructors and Alumni from 50 U.S. States and District of Columbia Help Mark Milestone in Model for Public and Private Partnership
Cisco® Networking Academy® honored UAS Ketchikan Assistant Professor of Computer Networking Richard McDonald and UAS Ketchikan student Sarah Strickling at an event marking the 10th anniversary of the Cisco Networking Academy.
Over the past decade, the Networking Academy has demonstrated success in providing students with valuable skills and knowledge in networking and information technology (IT), leading to advanced academic exploration and career development. Students and graduates benefit from gaining in-demand skills, increasing their earning power and often advancing their education to aid in the development of their countries and local economies.
"We are pleased to acknowledge a select group of Cisco Networking Academy alumni and instructors at the 10-year anniversary salute," said Gene Longo, senior manager of the Cisco Networking Academy U.S. Field Operations. "According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, five of the fastest-growing occupations for college-educated job seekers through 2014 will be in information technology. We applaud these individuals for their contributions in helping to raise awareness of the opportunities in this industry and the benefits to students and our nation."
Attendees of the salute include Networking Academy alumni and instructors from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, government officials, education-focused associations, and Cisco employees. Held over the course of two days, the event features a number of activities, guest speakers and community-building sessions.
The Networking Academy has provided more than 1.6 million students in more than 160 countries with IT and networking skills essential to succeed in the global economy. Since 1997, in the United States alone, more than 500,000 Networking Academy students have completed a course and been equipped with the Internet technology skills required to help ensure U.S. competitiveness and innovation in the 21st century.

Miranda Kerr has had her tresses tamed by him. Nicole Kidman and Rose Byrne too. Alan White has also worked for Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein. But when he's not in the pristine surrounds of a salon or on a fashion shoot, the UK-born, Canberra-based hairstylist likes to get grubby mountain biking.
"Coming out of the East End of London, I've always had to have my hands dirty," White says with a laugh. "I use mountain biking, basically, as a form of meditation. The industry I'm in and the level I'm at is so intense, I do need a form of grounding. A break. The earth is really important to me, feeling it under my wheels."
White lived in the US for 14 years. Splitting his time between Chelsea in New York City and Shelter Island at the eastern end of Long Island, he relaxed with water sports. But after moving to Australia five years ago, to be closer to his wife's parents, he hopped on a bike.
When not styling locks away from home, White tries to ride Mount Stromlo – about 10 minutes' drive from Canberra's centre – three times a week. "The optimum solution is working five days on and four days off, but it's really dependent on jobs and where they are located," he says. "This is where night riding came about."
It sounds risky, but White revels in riding in the dark. With two lights on his helmet and two on the handlebar, he feels more at one with the track than during daylight hours.
"You're taking in your immediate surroundings rather than your whole surroundings," he says. "When you climb during the day and you look up the mountain, you go, 'oh no'. To a certain extent I prefer to ride at night because you not only push yourself harder, but you also see and sense things more clearly."
Night riding is something he only does with friends. "At night-time there tends to be mobs of kangaroos out and by riding in a pack, you have safety in numbers," he says.
Three years ago White upped the ante and started riding competitively. These days he takes part in 24-hour races around Australia."I race in a team of four, and we basically do about 100 kilometres each throughout 24 hours. You go through all sorts of terrain, climbs and downhill . . . depending on the conditions, whether it's wet, dusty, hot or dry, how long it takes can vary."
White has never broken any bones, but has been in competitions where there's been a serious brain injury and even a fatality.
"Your front wheel can slip away from you on the smallest of stones. And obviously you can get jammed in between two rocks or a rut or slip on a wet root of a tree. I do cross-country as opposed to going hell for leather downhill . . . you come across jumps and technical difficulties, but because I need my arms, I tend to take the easier route."

Great Serenade Southern Cruising Trip To Aruba: Serenade of the Seas Cruise Review by theOSU1
Overall Member Rating
Great Serenade Southern Cruising Trip To Aruba
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
Entry onto the ship was fast and easy and was done within 10 minutes. The lines were still rather long at this time, but being Diamond members speeded our progress thru the lines. (make sure you complete your Seapass documents 100% to speed you thru the process) Since we have been on the Radiance (sister ship), the Serenade deck plan was familiar to us and it was easy to find our way around the ship. I would not recommend getting a room at the stern end, as there are no stairs (or elevators)nearby, which creates for longer walks to your room. (no big deal- but it would be better to stay near mid-ship if possible) Our deck 9 D-1 balcony cabin room attendant (Gabrelle) was excellent and always attentive to our every need. RCL now does not place ice in the room and only does it upon request. We purchased soda in St Thomas and had no issue bringing it on-board.
Serenade is an older ship (built in 2003) but we found her to be in excellent condition. The dining room color scheme (1970 retro style gold colors) was a dis-appointment, as compared to other ships. The putt-putt golf course on deck 13 was in very good condition. Overall, the ship was in excellent condition and seems to be cared for very well. The cruise director was Ricky and he was very good at this position. Ricky was one of the best cruise directors we have seen and his high energy and use of new material (jokes) when communicating with the passengers was good. I rarely saw the rest of the cruise director staff during the cruise, but the times I did see them they were full of energy. Since this cruise originated in San Juan there were many locals on-board, which was a bit challenging due to the cultural differences and the use of Spanish in all announcements. We much prefer leaving from the US mainland, as most of the passengers are more similar to my culture. (using english to speak) Several area of the ship require special mention. The fitness center was very good and we enjoyed to use of the Lifestyle Fitness treadmills and there were plenty of machines to use (even during busy morning times). The steam room and sauna were superb (best at sea). We mostly used the Windjammer for meals, but did find the food in the dining room to be a step above in quality and a very nice experience indeed. We used the Seaview Grill Cafe several times and the food quality was very good. The solarium area was very nice (not as nicely decorated as the Radiance)and the solarium cafe (good staff) was a good stop for snacks during the day. The Tropical Theatre color scheme was odd, with various colors used in odd combinations. The Master of the vessel (Capt Stahre-Jansen)was a woman (1st ever) and I found her to be of an interesting character. I did not find her subject content to be very informative at the C&A Meeting and was disappointed on not learning about the current state of RCL, its ships and what is planned for the future. Other Masters seemed to really inform guests, rather then just spew about their past life on the high seas. Of course, my annual question to the pursers desk (after preparing them) concerning the current price of RCL stock was again met with a total blank stare. No ship has ever been ever to tell me the price of RCL stock (not even close), which I find quite amazing. Even the 1st officer tried to bluff me when I asked how the RCL stock was doing that week, as he claimed the stock went up "a little bit"- was actually down $3 for the week! Do I dare ask any any of the officers of the last RCL earnings? The casino slots were good the 1st night and them mysteriously tighten up the remainder of the cruise- so gamble early in the cruise and quit!
The BAD- I do not want to be harsh, but one area RCL continually falls short Carnival is king in this area) is in late night dance entertainment. DJ Ron (Vortex Night Club) had to be rock bottom. The 80's night dance music was a disaster. Not only were the songs played a weird mix of 80's techno version music (not the good old basic songs), but to make things worse, DJ Ron would magically clear the dance floor with a poor song selection and it was all downhill from there. My suggestion is to 1st send DJ Ron to DJ school (in the US) to learn what songs to play (keep to the basics that people know and like)and to learn when you have a full dance floor do not muck it up by playing a poor song selection. There must be another ship in the fleet that has a successful DJ that plays good music that can be copied- maybe getting a CD with 20-30 songs that work well might be needed here. Just put the CD in at 11 PM and hit play and the job is done- hense, no need for a DJ anymore. I believe DJ Ron had the best job on the ship, as once he cleared the dance floor of dancers he could go back to bed (and he probably did as I left)...DJ Ron needs to be replaced ASAP.
Diamond status was great with a free nightly cocktail every night and upgrade drinks at the morning breakfast in the dining room. Very nice RCL!
All kids on this cruise were well behaved and acted very well. I was surprised that the kids did not take over the hot tubs at night, as they do on most other cruises. I did note that on one occasion that kids were not allowed in the movie theatre (why this happened I was never able to figure out). Less

I want to install it by myself. That was no problem with ASC, but no i have a problem Back|Track. It seems to me that the Slax distro has no support for RPM or DEB packages. And there is no source of shell script to download on the Nessus site. Also YUM or APT-GET does not work.
How should i install Nessus version 3.0?
(I installed LIVE Back|Track CD on harddisk already)
By the way where can i find the password lists in Back|Track?

command is rpm2tgz Nessus.rpm
Nice Slackware manual!
From the developers log it seems like the had Nessus 3.0 working on BackTrack at one point. Even though they had to go back to Nessus 2, it would be nice if they or anyone could post a How To for others to set it up on their own BackTrack CD. That way it wouldn't violate the Nessus license and BackTrack users would still be able to use the latest Nessus.Originally Posted by macamba
I will do it this week.
Thanks, I'm sure many people will appreciate it. Maybe it could even get on the wiki too.Originally Posted by macamba
Are there any solutions?
Here is a short WIKI for installing Nessus 3.0:
Created by: Macamba
Date: 4 march 2006
For this installation procedure to work
- Back|Track needs to be installed on harddisk;
- you should login as root.
Step 1:
Download the following packeges from Nessus.org to /tmp on your harddisk:
- Nessus-3.0.1-fc4.i386.rpm (server)
- NessusClient-1.0.0.RC4.tar (client)
Step 2: Install Nessus 3.0.1
Convert the server packege to .tgz with the following command:
- cd /tmp
- rpm2tgz Nessus-3.0.1-fc4.i386.rpm (now you have Nessus-3.0.1-fc4.i386.tgz in /tmp)
- gunzip Nessus-3.0.1-fc4.i386.tgz
- cd / (you back in root)
- tar -xf /tmp/Nessus-3.0.1-fc4.i386.tar
- now you have the following directory (/opt/nessus)
Step 3: Install Nessus 1.0 0 RC4
- cd /tmp
- tar -zxf /tmp/NessusClient-1.0.0.RC4.tar.gz
- cd NessusClient-1.0.0.RC4/
- ./configure
- make
- make install (the following message appears " NessusClient has been sucessfully installed")
Step 4: Configure Nessus
- cd /opt/nessus/sbin
- nessus-mkcert
CA certificate life time in days [1460]: 1460
Server certificate life time in days [365]: 365
- nessus-adduser
Login : root
Authentication (pass/cert) [pass] : pass
Login password : toor
Login password (again) : toor
- the following message appears: "Enter the rules for this user, and hit ctrl-D once you are done : (the user can have an empty rules set)"
- ctrl-D
- Is that ok ? (y/n) [y] y
Step 5: Run Nessus
- nessusd
- NessusClient
As you see in the above instruction i didn't removed the old Nessus 2.2.6.
This because i run into problems.
Does anybody know how to check if the correct instance (2.2.6 or 3.0.1) is running now?
If i run 'nessusd -d' from version 3.0.1, the output says it's 2.2.6. Is this a bug or something in my configuration?
Somehelp would be appreciated!

The Vodafone Derby may have the shortest-priced favourite in years, but the big race at Epsom on Saturday is no one-horse race.
Here's a look at the leading contenders for the Classic which is live on BBC One, Five Live and the BBC Sport website at 1620 BST.
(Trainers in brackets. England-based unless stated)
Visindar (Andre Fabre, France)
Hot favourite, unbeaten in three starts and impressive each time, he's a son of the stallion Sinndar, the 2000 Epsom Derby winner.
Pedigree experts suggest slight doubts over Visindar's stamina lasting out 1½ miles, but he wasn't stopping at the end of his most recent race at Saint-Cloud.
There has been no French-trained winner since 1976 (Empery), and this is one big race in which Andre Fabre, 19 times the champion trainer of France, has enjoyed no luck.
Horatio Nelson (Aidan O'Brien, Ireland)
However, bred for this sort of challenge: his mother Imagine was successful in the 2001 Oaks, and worked very well on the O'Brien gallops this week. And the choice of jockey Kieren Fallon, almost a tip in itself.
Septimus (Aidan O'Brien, Ireland)
Another Coolmore hopeful, Septimus won the Dante Stakes at York, the most reliable of stepping-stone races.
He absolutely trotted up that day from another Derby hope, Best Alibi, but there is a chance that while he coped well with rain-softened going, others didn't.
Kieren Fallon was strikingly keen on Septimus' big race chances at York, though he is said not to have sparkled since that race.
Sir Percy (Marcus Tregoning)
Unbeaten until finishing runner-up behind the brilliant George Washington in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
Took some time to get over the race, but now described as being in top form again by both Tregoning and jockey Martin Dwyer.
Stamina questions and interrupted prep both concerns, but not hard to get fit, and if at his best has definite chance.
Cost only 16,000 guineas, and would be a very popular success.
Dylan Thomas (Aidan O'Brien, Ireland)
Coolmore again, and impressed many good judges when successful from stablemate Mountain in the Leopardstown Derby Trial, but set to be the shrewd owners' third or fourth string.
Papal Bull (Sir Michael Stoute)
Winner of the Chester Vase - just like 1981 Derby winner Shergar, for the same trainer - in good style and added to the list of entries at a cost of £75,000 to Coolmore owners.
In-form Stoute, looking for his fifth Derby success, is careful with his hyperbole, but declared himself impressed with the colt's Chester run and his gallops work. Would not be a shock winner.
Hala Bek (Michael Jarvis)
Inexperienced but impressed with victory on his only start at Newbury, beating Derby outsider Dragon Dancer.
Although trainer a master at preparing for big races, it is a worry that he missed prep race at York because of a setback.
Reports now, however, are much more positive. It will be hard, but if he delivers what he promised at Newbury, could play a big part.
Linda's Lad (Andre Fabre, France)
Has the responsibility of attempting to give Frankie Dettori a first Derby success in the only British Classic that he hasn't won, after no less than 13 tries.
Odds of around 12-1 to 16-1 seem to accurately reflect horse's chance.
Championship Point (Mick Channon)
The dark horse, in danger of being forgotten in the build-up, he has, as they say, done nothing wrong, not least when successful in Goodwood's Predominate Stakes.
Championship Point's owner John Livock loves tennis, hence the name. Odds may be overly long.
Atlantic Waves (Mark Johnston)
Has some good form, and should have the requisite stamina, but it was striking that his normally bullish trainer was uncharacteristically reticent about his chances.
He said: "I really don't know. It is in the lap of the Gods."
CONCLUSION: It certainly is no walkover for anyone, with up to about nine or ten in with well-above average chances.
The prices about both Visindar and Septimus don't look especially generous, and Horatio Nelson needs to improve markedly.
So Sir Percy, Papal Bull and Championship Point could give us real runs for our money at more practical odds.

Baghdad (AFP) Feb 20, 2011
Iraqi lawmakers approved an $82-billion spending programme for 2011 by voting for a national budget in parliament on Sunday.
Overall expenditure will be $81.86 billion, or 96.6 trillion Iraqi dinars, while income is projected at $68.56 billion, leaving a shortfall of $13.3 billion -- a budget deficit of around 16 percent.
The budget is based on average oil prices of $76.5 per barrel and projected exports of 2.2 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), a figure which includes 100,000 bpd of exports from Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region.
A previous draft budget sent to parliament by the cabinet on December 1 estimated spending of $78.8 billion based on oil prices of $73 per barrel.
Energy sales are expected to account for 90 percent of revenues.
While Iraq's projected oil price currently looks to be a conservative estimate -- prices currently stand at around $86 in New York -- its projected exports are more ambitious.
Iraq has not exported 2.2 million barrels per day since the 2003 US-led invasion ousted dictator Saddam Hussein.
The country currently produces around 2.5 million bpd, with exports averaging around two million bpd, though the former figure is expected to rise to three million bpd by the end of the year, according to the oil ministry.

Sunday's pay cuts will result in annual savings of at least $4.9 million (3.58 million euros), compared to $19 million in yearly savings that would have resulted had a proposal submitted by the cabinet been approved.
Salaries of ministers and lawmakers, currently set at $11,000 (8,000 euros) per month, will decline by 10 percent as part of cost-cutting measures that also include the cancellation of expense accounts for Iraq's president and parliament speaker and their deputies, each of which was greater than $1 million a year.
"They are selfish -- the government submitted its proposal for bigger cuts, but MPs refused," said a government official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Cabinet secretary general Ali al-Alaak told AFP on Wednesday that the government wanted to slash pay for ministers and MPs by nearly 40 percent.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani have both said previously that they wished to halve their salaries. The government official said Maliki intended to stick to his pledge, but it was unclear if Talabani would do so as well.
The vote comes amid nationwide protests against widespread corruption, poor basic services and high levels of unemployment, and after a popular MP in Maliki's bloc resigned after describing parliament as an institution "hamstrung by quotas and cronyism."
earlier related report
Jaafar al-Sadr, the son of the founder of Prime Minister Maliki's Dawa party, submitted his resignation on Thursday after having been elected to parliament in the general election last March.
"Jaafar al-Sadr resigned Thursday morning without giving a reason, but his resignation still has to be accepted by the speakership of parliament for it to become official," a source in the parliamentary speaker's office told AFP.
The 40-year-old is the only son of Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Baqr al-Sadr, who founded the Islamic Dawa Party in 1957 and who was killed by now-executed dictator Saddam Hussein in 1980.
According to a source close to the ex-MP, "his decision was motivated by differences he had with the official line of his parliamentary bloc," led by Maliki.
"Unlike Maliki, Jaafar al-Sadr strongly supports the independence of young institutions of the Iraqi state, like the Independent High Electoral Commission and the Commission on Integrity (the anti-corruption agency)," the source said.
He was referring to a January 18 supreme court decision to link several independent bodies, including the election commission, the central bank and the anti-corruption watchdog, to Maliki's cabinet.
Critics and the bodies themselves have opposed the ruling, which they say compromises their non-partisan reputation, but Maliki has defended it, saying that it was necessary that they be linked to the cabinet because their work was executive in nature.
Jaafar al-Sadr, a cousin and brother-in-law of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, won the second highest number of votes within Maliki's State of Law coalition in Baghdad province in the elections, after only the premier himself.
He undertook religious study in Baghdad, the holy Shiite city of Najaf and the Iranian city of Qom before earning a degree in sociology and anthropology in Lebanon.

TY - RPRT T1 - Policies and Measures to realise Industrial Energy Efficiency and mitigate Climate Change Y1 - 2009 A1 - Lynn K. Price A1 - Aimee T. McKane KW - China Energy KW - China Energy Group KW - climate change KW - energy analysis and environmental impacts department KW - industrial energy efficiency KW - mitigation KW - policies KW - policy studies AB -
The Bali Action Plan provides the principal framework for apost-2012 climate agreement. It focuses on a shared vision forlong-term cooperative action and for enhanced national andinternational action to mitigate climate change, on adaptation,on supporting technology development and transfer, and on theprovision of financial resources and investment. The Copenha-gen agreement could help provide the foundation for scaling upindustrial energy efficiency to levels that reflect its share of theglobal mitigation potential. To that end, the following recom-mendations are made:
The industrial sector is responsible for one third of global pri-mary energy use and two fifths of global energy-related carbondioxide (CO2) emissions. There is significant potential to reducethe amount of energy used to manufacture most commodities.The technical reduction potential ranges from about 10% to 40%for five energy-intensive industrial sub-sectors. The economicpotential is smaller, but also significant.
Historically, energy efficiency has improved, and emission inten-sities have reduced, as countries have become more economi-cally developed. End-use energy efficiency has the capability toreduce GHG emissions very significantly, and at low cost. Manyindustrial energy efficiency options reduce costs and allow forhigher levels of production for the same amounts of energy use.They can therefore indirectly1help to combat poverty.
Since 1973, energy efficiency and structural change have metabout 58% of the new demand for energy services in industri-alised countries. Without those energy efficiency improvements,energy demand would have been considerably higher (IEA,2008a). More conventional fuel would have had to have beensupplied and used, thereby increasing GHG emissions.
Industrial Energy Efficiency Potential
In terms of the CO2 savings that might be achievable, IPCC anal-ysis suggests that industry might be expected to make savingsof 2.5 to 5.5 GtCO2 equivalent in 2030 compared to a baselinescenario. This would represent a saving of 15 to 30% of the totalprojected baseline emissions in 2030. This picture is reinforcedby IEA analysis that suggests that energy efficiency would con-stitute more than half of all industry's contribution to a scenariowhich envisages global CO2 emissions halving by 2050. 90% ofthis potential, most of which would come from energy efficiencyimprovements, could be achieved at less than USD 50/tCO2 saved. The remaining 10% could be achieved at between USD 50and USD 100/tCO2 saved (IPCC, 2007). 80% of the potential isin developing countries and transition economies.
While important, cost generalisations can be difficult. Consider-ing only one industry type, costs can vary from an old to a newplant. Retrofitting existing facilities is usually more expensive thanintroducing efficient technologies in a greenfield plant. The sameenergy efficiency measure may have a different cost in industrialfacilities that differ only in size. Per unit costs tend to be lower forlarger plants, due to economies of scale. Further, due to differing:commodity prices, fuel prices, GHG penalties; labour conditions;and – amongst others - market peculiarities, implementation costscan vary by a factor of two or more due to local conditions. To-gether with differing institutional capacities, these aspects makecost generalisations difficult – and the need for careful document-ing when compiling comparative databases important.
Countries differ in terms of their level of industrial energy ef-ficiency. In part this is due to structural reasons: older plantstend to be less efficient than newer ones, so countries that havedeveloped later tend to be more efficient. For example, the mostefficient aluminium smelters are in Africa. India has a very energyefficient cement sector. And China has very ambitious efficiencytargets for the coming years – a task helped by its growing andmodernising economy. In spite of structural differences, policiesdemonstrably make a difference, as shown by reduced energyuse per unit of output by industries in countries such as Japanand the Netherlands, for example.
Action to help spread and apply the most effective approaches,policies and measures has the potential to rapidly help raise theefficiency of all industrial plant nearer to that of the best. It is onthis that this study particularly focuses.PB - The United Nation ER -

Researchers Harvest Enzymes From Heat-Loving Fungi for Cheaper Biofuels
Jason Mick

Some of nature's most extreme little fungi could help pretreat auto fuel feedstocks in the near future
Researchers at the
U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Genomics Institute
(JGI) have been busy tracking down new enzymes that can pretreat feedstocks for biofuels at higher temperatures.
Nature has
evolved a host of proteins
that can break down a multitude of commonly occuring natural compounds. The enzymes' catalysts operate at a speed largely depend on the temperature. Higher temperatures means faster reactions, typically, but it also can cause protein denaturation (when proteins lose their carefully ordered structure, via the disolution of hydrogen bonds, etc.). Thus organisms who operate at higher temperatures require special denaturation-resistant enzymes, but have the advantage of being able to prcoess materials faster.
With biofuels the biggest challenge is converting cellulose -- the primary sugar found in common biomass feedstocks, like fast growing grasses -- into individual sugars that can be fermented. To do that scientists have
borrowed enzymes from nature
Fig. 1:
The key to making biofuel is to break down cellulose -- the starchy sugar found in plant biomass. There's slight differences in biomass between woody plants and grasses. [Source: Wikimedia Commons]
Current generation enzymes operate at around 20°C-35°C (68°F-95°F) -- in the range varying from room temperature to nearly the human body temperature. However, these enzymes process materials too slowly, allowing contamination, which in turn reduces yields and makes the resulting biofuel more expensive.
The DOE JGI researchers proposed finding higher temperature enzymes. They successfully identified some such potential enzymes by comparing the genomes of Thielavia terrestris and Muceliophthora thermophila, fungi which thrive at high-temperature environments of 45°C or above.

[Source: Adrian Tsang, Concordia University]
Randy Berka from Novozymes in Davis, Calif., joined the researchers in the work and writes in the report, "Thermostable enzymes and thermophilic cell factories may afford economic advantages in the production of many chemicals and biomass-based fuels. Thermophilic fungi are well-known composting organisms, and their usefulness as a reservoir for thermotolerant enzymes was established decades ago. These two thermophiles can be considered all-purpose decomposers with respect to their carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and their ability to degrade plant polysaccharides."
The team found that the family of glycoside hydrolase enzymes was expanded in the thermophile ("heat loving") fungi to break single, fermentable sugars off polysaccharides (chains of single sugars) at a variety of temperatures. Such a range was not present in the more common fungus
T. reesei
Thus researchers believe the 38.7-million base pair (Mbp) genome of
M. thermophila
and the 36.9 Mbp genome of
T. terrestris
offers the blueprint to dramatic acceleration of enzymatic breakdown of cellulose, reducing impurities, improving yields, and dropping costs.
Comments DOE JGI Fungal Genomics head Igor Grigoriev, who helped lead the research team, "These thermophilic fungi represent excellent hosts for biorefineries where biomass is converted to biofuels as an alternative to modern oil refineries. The fact that these organisms not only deliver a broad spectrum of heat-tolerant enzymes but can also host new enzymes and be optimized for industrial processes holds great promise for significant improvements over existing systems."

The bacterial enzymes proved efficient at breaking down biomass of both major groups of flowering plants -- Monocotyledonae (grasses, orchids, palms) and Eudicotyledonae (trees and some garden flowers).
The key to further lowering costs will be to synthetically select the bacteria to produce superior versions of the cellulose-chewing enzymes and to overproduce the enzyme(i.e. overexpress). Currently enzymatic pretreatment of cellulose biomass remains
more expensive than other techniques such as plasma gasification
. However, with this new work, the cost of enzymatic biomass pretreatment creeps closer to the cost of these alternative methods.
The new work was funded by the DOE and was

It's a nice quick read, but it has that rich flavor of a classic writer. The idea that ghosts are our muses is intriguing. The concept that we are trapped in this world until we have let go of what has dirtied us is perhaps not new, but is presented in such as way that it glides like silk. I'd give it 5 stars in the Classic genre of short stories.

Six Best Club Parties on South Beach This Weekend
Maybe all those never-ending rainstorms that soaked South Beach through most of July have finally freaking disappeared. Or, maybe not, and August will be just as flooded by the Sunshine State's infamous summer showers.
But one thing's certain: Whatever the weather, it's always cool and sweaty inside SoBe's clubs. At some of the city's hottest party spots, the world's biggest DJs spend the wet months dropping epic summer-y sets, proving that a little rain can't stop the music.
Check out this week's six best club parties on South Beach.
Guy J and Matthew Dekay. Presented by Kontrol. Thursday, July 26, 11 p.m., Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-695-8411; mansionmiami.com. Tickets cost $15 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. You don't hear much about the Israeli EDM scene. But over the past decade, Guy J has been one of the top electronic music ambassadors from the Holy Land. In Tel Aviv, he's considered a top selector. And internationally, his star is rising. Similarly, Matthew Dekay's brand continues to climb. Like Guy J, this German DJ has been in the game for about a decade, dabbling in just about every EDM subgenre imaginable.

Sander Kleinenberg is a DJ's DJ. Less concerned with stage antics or gimmicks, he relies on the music itself. Kleinenberg is a student of clubland, studying each crowd 'round the globe and catering to its specifics needs. He's as comfortable dropping a set in Buenos Aires as he is playing New York, Belfast, Paris, or South Beach.
dBerrie. Saturday, July 28, 11 p.m., Wall Lounge, 2201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-938-3131; wallmiami.com. Tickets cost $60 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. While many DJs have made the transition from hip-hop to house, few have done it as effortlessly as dBerrie. His background as a "DJ to the stars" helped build his name, but he's become renowned for his command of the turntables. Drawing on skills from his days as a hip-hop DJ, dBerrie's brand of progressive house is uniquely dope.
Sultan and Ned Shepard. Saturday, July 28, 11 p.m., LIV, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-4680; livnightclub.com. Tickets cost $75 to $125 via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. After living in Kuwait, Cyprus, and Egypt, Sultan moved to Montreal and started DJing. He landed a weekly, overnight gig on one of the city's most popular radio stations in 2000. And soon, he built a reputation 'round Montreal as one of the best DJs in the city. About seven years later, he teamed up with good friend and fellow producer Ned Shepard. And that's how the party started.
Miss Nine. Sunday, July 29, 11 p.m., SET, 320 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; 305-531-2800; setmiami.com. Tickets cost $30 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. If Miss Nine hadn't set her sights on a career in modeling, the German-born, Holland-based DJ may have never touched the decks. After signing with Elite Model Management, Miss Nine moved to Amsterdam and fell in love with the electronic dance music scene. Shortly after learning how to mix, she found herself headlining Amsterdam's legendary Motion parties. And the rest, of course, is history, with Miss Nine launching her own record label and landing sponsorships with Pioneer and Levis.
Diego Camejo. Wednesday, August 1, 11 p.m., Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-695-8411; mansionmiami.com. Tickets cost $30 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. By day, he's a student at Boston University. By night, however, he's a DJ. And no, he's not patching a few iPods into a mixer at a frat house. He's touring the globe and playing tracks at some of the hottest clubs on the planet.
