Have you ever been asked that question? I have and was unable to give a suitable answer to a five year old. But, have you ever been asked why our lagoons in Foster City are blue? Well, I've got an answer for that. When Foster City was first built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was advertised as the City of Blue Lagoons! Well, I think the adjective, Blue, was just a marketing ploy to let buyers know that we did certainly have lagoons and what better way to describe lagoons but blue lagoons.
Although most waterways are naturally some version of a blue color, Foster City's blue lagoons do get some "help". It turns out that our lagoons are colored blue which helps to keep the algae and weeds from receiving light from the Sun. By limiting the amount of light, algae and weeds are discouraged from growing, which is good for our waterways. Yes, we do color our lagoons!
So, who puts the blue in our waterways? I got to thinking about that and learned that this activity is one of many tasks handled by the City's Public Works Department. Then I wondered what else does Public Works do? They are sort of like the people behind the scenes at the theater, you never see them but you do see their handiwork.
Let me give you a better explanation of how our Public Works Department affects our lives here in Foster City.
Recently, I visited our newest development, The Plaza Apartments over on Triton Drive. But before I drove over to the location I had to take a shower, eat breakfast, drink water to take my vitamins, put my garbage out on the curb and get in my car and drive through town to the event.
My hot steaming shower water was brought to my home, courtesy of the Water Distribution Division of our Public Works Department. They made sure that water was not only available, but clean and safe for me to use for both bathing and for drinking. There are so many places in this world where safe drinking water is an unavailable luxury, but that is not the case here. I hope we always appreciate the water that flows from our pipes. Public Works staff tests the water routinely to ensure that it stays safe.
That same shower water that was safely brought to my home was carried away courtesy of the Sanitary Sewer Division of our Public Works Department. They make sure that all of our used water is carried away safely and efficiently to the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Public Works also made it easy for me to get rid of my trash and recyclables by managing the contract with Recology. It's Public Works that made sure we could throw all of our recyclables in ONE bin on a weekly basis, rather than having to sort through our garbage every other week. They've also made it possible for us to recycle our food waste with our yard trimmings rather than having to throw it in the garbage.
My drive to the Plaza was safe and easy because I obeyed all the traffic signals that are maintained by Public Works. (They maintain the street lights, too!) As a taxpayer, I am grateful that they have kept up with technology and the street lights and traffic signals use as little energy as possible. Speaking of street lights the Public Works Department recently oversaw a sustainability project that replaced all the City owned street lights with energy efficient LED lights. When traffic signals run 24-hours a day, every day, the efficiency becomes very important! Pavement maintenance is also Public Works responsibility. Did you know that our street surfaces are rated as one of the best in the Bay Area?
Finally, Public Works engineering staff has made sure that there will be enough water and sewer capacity for the new residents of the Plaza Apartments as well as the rest of our City. They are also working on widening the streets so that traffic won't get snarled up due to additional traffic generated from the new buildings.
As you can see our Public Works people are really involved in many of our day to day activities. Unfortunately, most of the time they get noticed only when something goes wrong and for example, an emergency repair is needed.
When I talked to him about it, Public Works Director Brad Underwood said that it's always good when Public Works is not noticed. It is similar to my work as a little league baseball umpire. I like to leave the field after the game and not have any comments made to me. When no one says anything then I know my crew and I did a good job managing the game.
However, I need to give some "props" to the people at Public Works, my unsung heroes who make my life, and yours as well, safe, convenient and lacking in drama. They love their jobs and they love Foster City. They want to do the best job they are capable of doing so that we are able to flush our toilets and drive safely around town. So the next time you look at the beauty of our lagoons and waterways I hope you'll remember the folks at Public Works.
Thanks, Public Works, where would we be without you?
Please contact me at email@example.com if you have any questions or comments. I look forward to hearing from you.

New Delhi: Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which is to be the subject of an inquiry in India over payments related to lobbying in the US, denied that its activities were in any way unlawful.
The world's largest retailer disclosed that it paid $25 million (Rs.135 crore) over four years to lobby US lawmakers to help it gain access to foreign markets, including India, according to a 9 December PTI report, citing company filings before the US senate. The Indian cabinet on Thursday approved the appointment of a one-man committee to look into Wal-Mart's alleged lobbying activities in India.
Wal-Mart said the lobbying payments have no connection with anyone in India.
"These disclosures have nothing to do with political or governmental contacts with India government officials," company spokesperson Kevin Gardner said in an email sent in response to queries. "It shows that our business interest in India was discussed with US government officials—along with 50 or more other topics during a three-month period."
The disclosures have to be made quarterly under US law, he said. They include staffing costs, association dues and payments to consultants, he said. "This is not unique to Walmart," Gardner said.
"All organizations which expend more than $11,500 annually on lobbying activities and employ at least one lobbyist must register and file the quarterly reports," he said.
In the first quarter of 2012, 143 organizations reported such expenses of more than $1 million, he said, citing Washington DC publication Roll Call.
"Our company naturally has discussions with US government officials about a range of trade and investment issues that impact our businesses in the US and worldwide and we disclose this in accordance with the law," Gardner said.
The committee, which will also probe whether Wal-Mart undertook any activities in India in contravention of local laws, is expected to submit its report within three months.
Bharti Walmart Pvt. Ltd, a joint venture between the US retailer and India's Bharti Enterprises Pvt. Ltd, is currently engaged in the wholesale business.
The cabinet decision came on the day Union commerce, industry and textiles minister Anand Sharma met Wal-Mart's international CEO Doug McMillon in Davos and assured him that India's policy on foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail won't be reversed. India allowed FDI of as much as 51% in multi-brand retail in September last year. The Wal-Mart disclosures provoked a storm of protest by political parties that had been opposed to the move. This prompted the government to agree to an inquiry.

Hello I'm a Star Trek fan from Bulgaria. I've been watching Star Trek since I was 7 and I'm a huge fan. I have created almost every article about Star Trek in the bulgarian wikipedia and I really want to create Memory Alpha in Bulgarian.--Tzarboris 21:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- I can help you get started, if you'd like. First read Memory Alpha:Start a new edition in another language and Forum:Other MA versions. I'll stop back a bit later and give you more information on how to get started. Welcome! -- Renegade54 22:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- I translated Memory Alpha:Introduction in bulgarian. Tomorrow I'll translate the others.--Tzarboris 23:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Is there sufficient interest to create a Bulgarian MA? This is just a curiosity thing, is there enough of an online fan base to have enough editors for a complete wiki? Because it seems that many language versions have been made, and some are signifigantly more active than others. The Russian wiki, for example, only has a handful of edits in the last couple of weeks from what appears to be one user. If I'm reading this one right, the Slovak wiki has only had two edits in the last 30 days. - AJ Halliwell 22:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I translated the most essential pages, what should I do next?--Tzarboris 18:31, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Senlin since childhood always dreamed of joining the army, and fight alongside the Avatar. He always dreamed of one day becoming a highly respected, and high ranked general in the army of the Earth Kingdom. At the age of six, Senlin had discovered he was an earthbender, his parents being non-benders and his late grandfather being an earthbender, was not there to teach him of his newly found abilities. Senlin's parents had sent him off into an earthbending academy where he trained hard day and night. Senlin at the age of nineteen had mastered earthbending.
Thirty Year War
Senlin being older than the age it was least required to join the army, signed up right after his graduation at the academy. They sent Senlin into war, at the time there was a war between the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom.
Years went by as Senlin was fighting in the war as soldier. More years passed by and the war did not end, ten years had passed by and Senlin had ranked up to Sergeant. Senlin being friends with Ku Tei, they did not really talk, only during war meetings.
The Avatar was a general in the Earth Kingdom, but he was part of all four nation therefore, he really didn't side with either of the nations. Though he kept the plans of the Water Tribe to himself, Ku Tei had planned tactics for his people a certain way.
After five years, of finally ranking up to general. Senlin was still jealous of Ku Tei. General Senlin accused and assaulted Avatar Ku Tei, Ku Tei did not attack him back he chose to be passive about the assault and ignored it.
General Senlin, took plans from the war room and traveled to the Southern Water Tribe, pleading with the guards to let him see the chief, they finally let him pass by but were on close watch on him. He begged the Southern Chief if he can ally with him, in return General Senlin gave the chief the battle plans of the Earth Kingdom.
One day, Avatar Ku Tei came to do peace talks with the Northern and Southern Water Tribe chiefs, on behalf of the Earth Kingdom. War raged on, as the Water Tribes had devastated the Earth Kingdom squadrons.
Two years have passed, and the Northern chief had sent General Senlin to the front lines, to destroy the remaining armies. To a surprise he saw the other generals, and the Avatar on the other side of the front lines.
The Avatar accused him of treason, due to the Southern chief notifying the Avatar. Avatar Ku Tei fought in a large battle with General Senlin, at the end the Avatar prevailed. Instead, of killing him on the battlefield Avatar Ku Tei decided for his betrayal to the Earth Kingdom, he was sent to prison for life.
The imprisonment of General Senlin, was the end of the thirty year war between the Water Tribes, and the Earth Kingdom.
In Rong Yan's Life
Learning about the death of Avatar Ku Tei, ex-General Senlin searches for the Avatar, as the Avatar searches for him. They rarely encounter each other, and go two separate ways but they both lead to an unknown Fire Nation island with live volcanoes. That is where the final showdown happens.
The Escape
Senlin escapes from the prison within Ba Sing Se's Upper Ring, due to accidentally a child throwing a rock within himself, using the rock to break the chains. And sticking his head out the window, he bended the rocks with his head, forming the rocks together making a large earth fist that began to pound against the metal door.
He escapes by using his instincts, and stealth. He sneaks into the middle ring and is found by an old woman named Haoke. Who does not know who he is the confused hospitable old woman takes the stranger in and makes him take a bath, gives him new clothing, cooks him dinner, and who helps him escape Ba Sing Se secretly. Knowingly, Haoke reveals her true identity, as an old woman who helps escaped prisoners and/or criminals out by leading them out of the city, to begin life anew.
Encounter with Baotu
Haoke, introduces "Taofan" to Baotu the crime boss of an unknown gang, who later is revealed called the Dixia gang, an infamous gang that's territory is the south east lower ring. Baotu, accepts his request of leaving the city, with a new identity, if he does a crime spree.
Meeting the Hei Shichang gang (The Black Market gang)
On one of the contracts, Taofan is tasked to find a fencer within the Hei Shichang gang, an ally with the Dixia gang in their territory in the heart of the southern lower ring.
He finds the man named Dufan, who is the fencer of the drugs that are produced by the Dixia herbalists, he has to sell 95 pounds of the new popular drug called "sheng chang", and deliver back the money back to Baotu.
Back to the Prison
Baotu, tasks Taofan and Haoke to go back to the prison in stealth, and find and rescue Baotu's finance man, he was thrown into prison for robbing a lower ring back in north lower ring.
Senlin and Haoke go back to the prison, and rescue the man named Qian Zei, all in one night. They do not alarm any guards as they do it in secret.
The Assassination
Baotu, grants him his request, but before he leaves the city, he proposes another contract, one with Haoke. He makes a promise to Haoke, that justice will be served, not knowing what he meant, Haoke agreed, and Senlin described the mission.
Baotu, called him crazy, telling him its high risk contract, it could get them both killed, but he liked the way he thinks. Senlin and Haoke, are requested the contract to murder the forty first Earth King.
It is midnight at this time, where Senlin and Haoke, make their way to Upper Ring, by a series of tunnels that the Dixia have built and placed green crystals to light the way.
The tunnel leads to the upper ring, just a couple yards away from the palace, Senlin and Haoke enter the palace with caution, sneaking past guards, eventually arriving at the Earth King's quarters, where just down the hallway Haoke and Senlin are in stealth.
The two men grow suspicious and they both walk into the dark hallway, nothing is heard but a snapped neck, and slicing of a sword going through flesh. They sneak into his room, where Ta Po is asleep. Haoke kills the Earth King, by slicing his throat with a small dagger.
They jump out the window, into a large bush that breaks their fall, and they head back to the south east lower ring where the Dixia gang call home. Returning to Baotu, he gives Senlin what he came for.
Leaving the city
Dufan from the Hei Shichang gang, is outside waiting of the headquarters, and is disguised as a herbalist. He carries Senlin in his undercover cart and walks out the city with him. Arriving at a small village and dropping him off there.
In chapter nine, Senlin gets flashbacks of the past, and about Avatar Ku Tei. Leading to the fact that he learned that Ku Tei had passed, in results of arriving at a nearby village he talks to one of the vendors who tells him that Rong Yan is the Avatar.
Defending the Hill Village
After collapsing on the ground after arriving at an unnamed village in the Earth Kingdom. Senlin was taken in by a woman named Ling-Ling, for three days. During those three days he rested, until he was nursed back to health. On the last day of his stay, three Water Tribe rebels attacked the village.
Using Ling-Ling's late husband's earthbending weapons, he defended the village with ease. Taking out the warriors first, and breaking the second warrior's leg. He went one on one with the waterbender, who showed no weakness and was a little more harder to fight.
Eventually, he defeated the waterbender, as they retreated. Taking what he needed he left the village afterwards. Upon leaving he learns that Avatar Ku Tei had died, eighteen years ago. He begins the search of the new Avatar.
Platoon Reunion
After traveling for days, even weeks, with the ostrich horse carrying Senlin's weight around the northwestern Earth Kingdom. He stumbles upon his old rebel squad's camp. Meeting with the squad leader and/or head scout, and an old friend of his. Palartok, was the scout that was spying on Avatar Rong Yan back in Taku.
He had returned to his camp, and awaited Senlin for his report on Rong Yan's location. Telling him that the Avatar was in Xi Tong Village, and on his way to the Southern Air Temple to master airbending.
Senlin, and Palartok, with the rest of his old squad reunite and leave to find Rong Yan. Days away that they will travel, they are right now still in the grasslands where the camp is located.
The Newborn Baby
While Ex-General Senlin and Admiral Palartok, were invading the village they were attacking, Palartok found a newborn baby crying next to its mother's corpse.
Deciding not to kill the newborn child, Palartok and Senlin decide to not invade the next village and leave the child at a random doorstep. As they move south towards the Southern Air Temple.
The Courier
While at the village that the rebels were invading, the last man standing was a courier. Palartok and Senlin, had requested the courier to run towards the Southern Air Temple, and give Avatar Rong Yan the message.
If he did so, the courier was spared, and left to live his life in peace. So with that the courier ran towards the Southern Air Temple.
As smart as General Senlin is, when the courier had passed by toward Taku. General Senlin had knew what the Air Nomads had done due to their pacifistic lifestyle. The general had whispered into the ear of an archer, who had shot Xinshi the courier dead.
Invasion at the Southern Air Temple
The fourth invasion, and last recorded invasion that the Earth Kingdom knows about was at the Southern Air Temple. General Senlin, and Palartok, and Palartok's squad invade the Southern Air Temple. With the deaths of four monks, after one monk was struck dead, the airbenders knew they were going to be killed.
Breaking their cultural pacifism, they began to retaliate and defend their temple from the former general, and Water Tribe rebels. After a while, they had killed one of the Avatar's friends, the result had triggered the Avatar State.
The invaders were in trouble, when instead of seeing the Fire Avatar in the Avatar State. The airbenders bowed to the presence of the Air Avatar that had taken form from the Avatar's body. It was Avatar Kwan Chun, who ended the invasion at the Southern Air Temple, and blew General Senlin and Palartok along with their men off the temple mountain.
The Air Nomads saw it, as Avatar Kwan Chun growing furious as he learned that someone had invaded the home he grew up in. He had taken possession of Rong Yan's body, and defended his home from the invaders.
Falling to their deaths, General Senlin reacted quickly by encasing Palartok and himself in earth to break their falls. Location of the Avatar was unknown to them soon after they had come out of the earth.
General Senlin and Admiral Palartok, had survived the fall, when Senlin had encased both of them into earth. They head off to a town where the bar there maybe they would learn some new information about the Avatar.
Senlin and the Earth Kingdom soldiers
Arriving in a town that they had saved, killing the bandits that had ravaged it. General Senlin, was now trying to hide and no longer invade towns like a mad man. He wants to lay low and make sure the Earth Kingdom will stop searching.
A bounty hunter and a guard captain had arrived at the unknown town and had looked at their target and the wanted poster. Persuading the general to follow him, he was later captured when Senlin's friend had left to enjoy themselves at a bar.
After being arrested, they began to escort him back to the capital of the Earth Kingdom. Along the way he had dropped clues for his comrades to find, they caught up to what was occurring.
By following what their friend had left behind, they had found Senlin surrounded by Earth Kingdom troops and the bounty hunter. The guard captain was going to break Senlin's hands to prevent him from earthbending.
But he was quickly stopped when water had split the large boulder in half, giving Senlin time to break lose from the chains and help his friends Palartok and Kimaru defeat the soldiers.
In the end Shang Jin the bounty hunter was injured, he fled and left Captain Wei to be killed by General Senlin himself.
Eventually, a courier in the next few chapters brings Laobing an old comrade and grandfather a Wei a message from Shang Jin. Claiming that Wei was killed by Senlin. Now, Senlin is being hunted by "Lucky" Laobing the grandfather of Captain Wei. Although, he does not know it.
Xuen the Fencer
After Senlin and his henchmen kill and rob merchants of their caravan, they ride the caravan to a house in the country. The house belongs to an old friend of Senlin's and the man runs a black market shop.
Senlin sells him whatever is in the caravan in exchange for three tickets heading to the Northern Water Tribe. After doing so, Xuen gives his friend three tickets for an immigration ship. And also clothes his friend in the latest Northern style fashion.
Resparking the War
Senlin had planned to have his friend Kimaru go into the dock town just a few miles away. The task was to kill any Earth Kingdom man, and leave a dagger styled like that of the Northern Water Tribe.
Although, what Senlin, Palartok, and Kimaru did not know is that the random citizen that Kimaru slew was in fact cousin of the Earth King. Later, towards the end of Book Two does news reach Earth King Qiang Zhen, that his cousin was murdered by a Northern Water Tribesman.
Furious about this, he explains that there was treaty involved and now that this treaty was broken. The bells of war have tolled, and Qiang Zhen instructs his adviser to create and bring together a meeting where he and the Council of Five must direct further action towards the Northern Water Tribe.
The Northern Water Tribe
Senlin was born an earthbender, and discovered his abilities at the age of six. With no one in his family able to teach him, he was sent to an earthbending academy.
At the age of nineteen, Senlin had mastered earthbending and joined the Earth Kingdom army. After years of not only ranking up, Senlin also became an experienced, powerful earthbender.
In the episode of the Kira-Bi, Senlin defends the hill village, using not only earthbending but hammers as well. So it is known that General Senlin has a skill in hammers. It is likely in the past when he was in the war, he used hammers to enhance his earthbending.
Seismic Sense
In Chapter 15, it is discovered that Ex-General Senlin, was able to see with Seismic sense. He used the unique ability to find any hidden persons in the mayor's home.
He found the mayor's daughter through the use of seismic sense, then forming spike formations out of the bare earth to slay the six-year-old girl. Using it once more, and seeing no one else in the home he moves on.

- General Senlin, was planned out to be Avatar Rong Yan's earthbending teacher.
- Just recently as of 10/30/12 my cousin told me that his title should be "Former General" since "Ex-General" isn't really a title. So his character profile name changed to that. But on his profile and that of others he is mentioned in the name will stay as Ex-General Senlin. New profiles mentioning his name will now be named "Former General Senlin".

Warning as Toxic Algae Builds up in the Ruamahanga River
24 January 2013
Warning as Toxic Algae Builds up in the Ruamahanga River
The Greater Wellington Regional Council, Carterton District Council and Regional Public Health are urging river users to protect themselves and their dogs from toxic algae, with an increase of algal growth detected in the middle reaches of the Ruamahanga River this week.
Toxic algae - or cyanobacteria - form brown or black clumps on river beds and can kill livestock and dogs. The clumps can peel off and often wash up on the river's edge where dogs can easily come into contact with them. If your dog eats toxic algae, it can die very quickly. Contact with toxic algae can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, skin irritations and other allergy-type symptoms in humans.
The Regional Council's weekly river monitoring has shown increased coverage of toxic algae at its Kokotau monitoring site, just upstream of the Kokotau Bridge, on the Ruamahanga, presenting a potential risk to river users. Carterton District Council staff are putting up warning signs along key access points to the river.
Regional Council Senior Environmental Scientist, Summer Greenfield, says that toxic algae can be abundant in many New Zealand waterways during summer.
"The warm weather in the Wairarapa is a key factor behind the increase. The risk to river users and dogs is likely to remain until there's significant rainfall to flush the algae away."
The Waipoua River in Masterton continues to present a high risk to users from toxic algae.
For current warnings on the toxic algae risk at popular rivers around the region, and for photos that show you what toxic algae looks like, visit the Greater Wellington Regional Council's website: www.gw.govt.nz/toxic-algae.
SPOT TOXIC ALGAE - Toxic algae form brown or black clumps at
the river's edge or in parts of the river where rocks are
exposed or it's shallow
* IF YOU SEE A TOXIC ALGAE WARNING SIGN OR THINK YOU SEE TOXIC ALGAE - Avoid touching and swimming near the algae. Put your dog on a lead and move away from the river's edge
* IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG HAS EATEN TOXIC ALGAE - Take your dog to a vet immediately
* IF YOU'VE BEEN TO A RIVER AND THINK YOU'RE HAVING A REACTION TO TOXIC ALGAE - Contact your GP

Sebastian Telfair is hopeful that his time playing in China will rejuvenate his career now that he's back in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"I'm definitely unsatisfied," Telfair said of his career. "I'm a hooper, I'm a player, I like to play a lot. I just didn't get as many opportunities as I would have liked."
Telfair turned down a two-year, $7 million deal in China for a $1.3 million veteran's minimum deal with the Thunder.
Telfair averaged 26 points per game last season in China.
"I was able to prove things to myself, getting an opportunity to play 30-something minutes a night, just go out there and hoop," Telfair said. "Your team expects you to be a guy who scores 30 points a night for you to win. That was a big part of me going down there. Just to get that opportunity to get my legs back up under me."

False alarm at College of Saint Rose
A report of a man entering a College of Saint Rose building with a rifle was determined to be a college employee with an umbrella.
College Director of Security Steve Stella said he was leaving an academic building earlier today when he saw an Albany police officer interviewing a man. He overheard the man say he saw someone carrying a rifle enter the college's events and athletic center, which is located on Western Avenue.
Using his radio, Stella said he notified dispatch, which prompted a public announcement for a lockdown and shelter-in-place procedure at the campus. Then alerts were sent out to students via email, text and telephone calls.
He said the building was searched with officers from the Albany Police Department. A review of the cameras in the area showed that the person entering the building was actually a staff member carrying an umbrella.
The College of Saint Rose is currently in its summer session, which means a much smaller percentage of students are on campus compared to the fall and spring semesters.

Egg Separator
2 Recommendations
StraightLine's recommendation
I've learned the hard way that whipping egg whites is a tricky business. There can't be a speck of yellow in them or they won't whip up. An egg separator is a gadget that does just that, it separates out the egg whites from the egg yolks. So if you're planning on making a chocolate souflee or lemon meringue pie in the near future and are uneasy about separating the whites from the yolks, this is a perfect gadget that will make your life easier and save you from wasting a bunch of eggs.

GlamGhetto's recommendation
Never make a mess of separating eggs again. This cheap and handy kitchen tool is perfect for baking

UA Receives DOE Grant for Carbon Storage Research
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama has been awarded a U.S. Department of Energy grant totaling more than $4.85 million for a multidisciplinary project that will characterize geologic formations for carbon dioxide storage in Alabama.
With the addition of matching funds from industry partners, the total project cost is expected to be $6.5 million. A part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the overall project goal is to increase knowledge about the potential for these formations to safely and permanently store carbon dioxide.
In an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, researchers are investigating ways to store carbon dioxide underground. Carbon dioxide, which is a major greenhouse gas, contributes to Earth's global warming. Its concentration levels have increased due to the consumption of fossil fuels.
Geological formations are considered the most promising carbon dioxide storage sites, but the storage capacity and long term storage stability must be assessed.
Carbon dioxide capture and storage research includes methods of capturing carbon dioxide from petroleum and coal burning plants and storage methods using underground reservoirs or other types of geological sinks.
Recent DOE grants are expanding geological research projects that identify possible new sites that are not necessarily as large as previously characterized sites but still vital to the carbon storage inventory due to location.
UA's project will investigate the possibility for storage in an underground reservoir in the vicinity of the Alabama Power Gorgas Plant. Successful completion of the project has the potential to extend the useful life of coal-fired power plants throughout the region. By investigating the geology near existing power plants, transportation costs to a carbon dioxide storage area would be greatly reduced.
Through the multidisciplinary award, researchers from UA's colleges of Engineering and Arts and Sciences are collaborating with the Alabama Geological Survey and Rice University.
During the next three years, the team will analyze geophysical data, build geological and reservoir models, and drill, complete and test a 4,000-foot well. This work will help define an estimated 28 gigatons of carbon dioxide storage capacity underlying northwest Alabama. The team will also develop guidelines that can be used for national site characterization projects to better determine which scientific tests are needed to identify storage sites.
Dr. Peter Clark, associate professor of chemical engineering at The University of Alabama, is the lead investigator and will oversee the project and design the drilling and completion of the test well, and analyze the well test data.
Dr. Eric Carlson, associate professor of chemical engineering at UA, will build a computational reservoir model of the site based on all of the data generated from the other segments of the project. This model will be used to predict storage patterns and capacity.
Dr. Andrew Goodliffe, associate professor of geological sciences at UA, will direct the acquisition, processing and analysis of surface and downhole geophysical data. The reflection seismic aspect of this work will be particularly important in creating a detailed image of the subsurface that extends beyond Gorgas Plant.
Dr. Jack Pashin, director of the Energy Investigations Program with the Alabama Geological Survey, will direct the geological characterization and geological model development.
Dr. Mason Thompson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Rice University, will conduct studies leading to the prediction of mineralization of carbon dioxide in the various formations found at the site. This work is important in predicting the long-term storage stability of carbon dioxide in the reservoirs.
The project's final steps include drafting the guidelines for national site characterization testing.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that a conventional power plant could reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere by almost 80-90 percent compared to a plant without carbon capture and storage. The IPCC also estimates that carbon dioxide storage in well-selected and designed sites are likely to retain more than 99 percent of the injected carbon dioxide for more than 1,000 years.
In September 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory announced the award of 11 projects worth more than $75.5 million to conduct site characterization of promising geologic formations for carbon dioxide storage. For more information about the U.S. Department of Energy's site characterization projects, visit http://www.fossil.energy.gov/recovery/projects/site_characterization.html.
Alabama Power and Southern Company, industrial partners in the project, are actively focusing on developing technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coal-based electricity generation. In May 2009, Southern Company announced it would manage and operate the U.S. Department of Energy's new National Carbon Capture Center, which is located at the Southern Company Power Systems Development Facility. With more than 4.4 million customers and more than 42,000 megawatts of generating capacity, Atlanta-based Southern Company (NYSE: SO) is the premier energy company serving the Southeast.
The University of Alabama, a student-centered research university, is experiencing significant growth in both enrollment and academic quality. This growth, which is positively impacting the campus and the state's economy, is in keeping with UA's vision to be the university of choice for the best and brightest students. UA, the state's flagship university, is an academic community united in its commitment to enhancing the quality of life for all Alabamians.

Great recap, hepcat! Thanks for linking the wake up calls!
Great recap, hepcat! Thanks for linking the wake up calls!
Getting lost will help you find yourself.
Great recap! I'm still shocked that Erika is dating Boogie...there's just something not right about that, lol.
Thanks Hepcat! I was actually up for most of the night and still missed a lot of important information. Thanks for the links to the wake up calls. I wonder if that information will be used for the next HOH competition.
Nicely done, hepcat. (Though the idea of Erica & Boogie dating gives me the heebie jeebies).
If you type "google" into google you can break the internet.
Thanks for the great recap, Hep!
The wake up calls were great.
Excellent! I love that slop song! Thanx for the link Hep.
I don't always act like a bitch; but when I do, I'm the lead float in the bitch parade.
