Study Abroad
The School of Psychological Sciences encourages students to consider studying abroad. After deciding if study abroad is right for you and choosing a school to attend, share your plans with your advisor and get her/his approval for transfer of credits to the UNC psychology major.
UNC offers 100s of study abroad programs in more than 60 countries around the world. UNC's portfolio includes Colorado's largest variety of affordable programs. Each semester students have nearly 200 options for study abroad with the same cost as attendance at UNC. While abroad, students can earn credits toward major, minor, and LAC requirements. Although psychology majors do not have to take courses in psychology while abroad, the programs listed below are recommended for those seeking credits in psychology. While it is not a comprehensive list of programs from which you can transfer psychology credits to UNC, these schools provide instruction in English, allow you to pay UNC tuition as always, and in the past have provided a variety of psychology courses that will transfer. Other possible options are to study abroad through one of UNC's 6 program providers or through National Student Exchange. For more information about opportunities, please consult with Lauren Bruce, Study Abroad & Exchange Coordinator in the Center for International Education (970 351-1333).

How far we have come
Two days of celebrations took us from JET's first pulse – a tiny blip on an oscilloscope – to its current role as the biggest tokamak in the world.
JET celebrates JET – and ITER
The world's largest fusion device, the Joint European Torus (JET), has passed a landmark 30 years of operation – but researchers are firmly focused on JET's continuing role as a test bed for the international fusion experiment ITER, being built in the south of France.
Recollections of JET – Phil Morgan

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - President Barack Obama spent time this week trying to get support from U.S. and world leaders for a military strike in Syria. Protesters across the nation are speaking out. Our Nolan Crane went to a rally right here in Monroe where people are calling for peace.
They might be few in numbers but protesters in Monroe say their message is loud and clear.
They don't want war and they don't want U.S. Congressman Rodney Alexander to change his mind. Alexander like many leaders on Capitol Hill disagree with President Obama's stance on taking military action in Syria.The protesters say our country has bigger problems to deal with, that another war won't fix.
"Look at the fact that we are $17 trillion in debt. Look at the fact that historically we have made our country less safe by going into these interventions," said Paul Densmore.
"It's an issue that's going to weaken our national defense. It's something that 80 percent of the American people are against. It's a very bad situation and were out here standing up against it," said Charles Kincade.
The protesters met here at Rodney Alexander's office in Monroe and they say this issue in Syria crosses party lines.
"I'm a very staunch supporter of president Obama. I still am. I think unfortunately he is wrong on this issue," said Kincade.
Protesters say they feel bad about the civil war in Syria where thousands of people have been killed by chemical weapons. This weekend protesters are out in the heat standing up for peace.
"Obviously the things that are going on over there are bad, they are reprehensible but they don't threaten us. They don't put us at risk and we just have no business there. If we get involved it will just make matters worse. We have a history of intervening in things we should intervene in and the track record is not pretty. Just look at Afghanistan and look at Iraq," said Kincade.
Protests like this in Monroe are taking place all across the country today. Those holding signs say they won't rest until Obama and congress rest.

Eclipse LTTng plugin
TMF (Tracing and Monitoring Framework) is a trace viewer and analyzer for many trace types, including LTTng kernel and userspace traces. It is part of the Linux Tools project at Eclipse, under the name "LTTng plugin".
How to install TMF
Install the stand-alone RCP version
The easiest way to use the viewer is to use the RCP (Rich Client Platform) version. It's a stand-alone application that only requires a Java runtime (tested with OpenJDK 7, which should be available in most distros' package managers).
Pre-compiled builds for different platforms are available here. Simply extract the archive and run the "traceViewer" binary.
To build the RCP package yourself, checkout the git tree (see below), and check the lttng/README file for instructions.
Note: There is a bug with recent Ubuntu versions where Eclipse applications do not get correctly blacklisted for the application menu, which means you may end up with an unusable menu. To fix this, unset the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY environment variable, for example:
$ UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= ./traceViewer
(with a space after the =)
Install Eclipse plugin version
If you are already using the Eclipse IDE, you might be interested in the Eclipse plugin version. It can be added using the "Help -> Install New Software..." option, under the "Linux Tools" section of the main Eclipse repo.
You can also download the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers from the Eclipse Downloads page, which already includes Linux Tools and the LTTng integration plugins.
Get the source code
The latest code is available from Git at:
git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git (web)
(under the /lttng directory)
You can also use the nightly builds, which are available on this page. Since this is unstable code, be aware that it might not always be working as intented.
If you want the code itself to do development on it, you can follow this procedure to setup the development environment.
How to open a LTTng 2.x trace in Eclipse
After installing Eclipse and the plugins via one of the previous methods, opening a LTTng trace is a couple clicks away. Here's a quick procedure, refer to the User Guide for screenshots and detailed instructions.
- Go to Window... -> Open Perspective -> Other..., and select the LTTng Kernel perspective.
- Right-click in the Project view (the white area on the middle left), and select New -> Tracing Project. Name your project and click OK.
- Open the project's tree, and right-click on Traces, then Import....
- In the dialog that just opened, select the path to the trace you want to open, select the trace type (LTTng Kernel Trace for LTTng kernel traces, or LTTng UST Trace for UST traces), and click OK.
- Double-click the trace in the project tree to load it. The views should now be updated with the trace's contents.
You can also create an experiment, select multiple traces to be part of it, then double-click the experiment to open more than one trace at the same time.
See the User Guide on the Eclipse wiki for more information.
Any questions regarding TMF should be directed at the linuxtools-dev mailing list.

a PSC Research Project
Investigators: Christopher L. House, Matthew D. Shapiro
This project will analyze the determinants of investment spending. It will quantify several key determinants and study how they affect investment both in theory and in practice. The proposal features two related lines of research. The first research component is an empirical analysis of investment at a disaggregated level. The second component develops and estimates a structural model of investment. The two research components are complementary. The empirical results are used to inform, test, and estimate parameters of the structural model. In turn, the structural model provides important insights into the effects of recent and future investment policies.
The first part of the project presents an empirical analysis of investment. This research establishes key empirical facts that investment theories should match. It also evaluates the empirical success of several existing theories. Specifically, using a panel of type-specific investment data, four prominent empirical issues are studied: (1) the cyclicality of pre-tax and after-tax investment prices; (2) the role of uncertainty in investment spending; (3) the response of investment to tax subsidies and (4) the response of automobile production and prices to the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009, also known as "cash for clunkers." The primary data sets used are the BEA underlying detail tables for investment, recently available measures of economic uncertainty, and an updated, revised set of type-specific investment tax subsidies.
The second part of the proposal presents a structural equilibrium model of investment. The theoretical framework builds on previous studies which feature fixed adjustment costs at the microlevel.
The model adds to this research by introducing a new investment timing friction not featured in earlier work. The timing friction allows firm-level heterogeneity to have a substantial influence on equilibrium investment dynamics. This is a significant extension of the research on fixed costs and firm-level heterogeneity since important effects of such heterogeneity are not present in earlier models. As a result, the proposed framework will provide a better guide to analyzing investment policy. The magnitude of the timing friction will be estimated with type-specific investment data. The empirical work in the first part of the proposal will provide several parameters to assess the fit of the theoretical model and to develop estimates of the effects of specific policy changes.
Summary of intellectual merit. The project will develop a modern model of investment that incorporates key frictions that imply important firm-level heterogeneity. While the model incorporates many complex modern features, it is also analytically tractable and yields sharp testable predictions. Hence, this research will allow modern investment models to confront the data in a meaningful way and to be used to evaluate specific policies.
Summary of broader implications. This research will provide both theoretical and empirical guidance for government policies designed either to affect overall economic activity by stimulating investment or to promote investment to increase economic growth. Additionally, the results of this analysis will be valuable to studying business cycles by shedding light on how various shocks affect investment activity.

No, I am going to talk about this and you are going to listen.
Asexuals often receive rape threats because people believe that asexual-identifying individuals cannot possibly not want to have sex; even though the idea that asexuality is defined by specifically not wanting to have sex is a false one. (And I've explained that here) It is for this reason why I am tired of the constant oppression game people like to play with the asexual community. Are we oppressed? Are we not?
It doesn't matter, all these arguments do is mask the fact that this unacceptable thing is happening. People actually think that "corrective" rape will change someone's sexual identity. It starts with people asserting your orientation does not exist, and asexuality is not the only orientation to face/to have faced this. Then people assume things about yourself that "made you the way you are." Then people move into threats territory. Then people move into the actions part.
There is a real fear even among the asexual community that people who identify as anything other than heterosexual will be harassed and assaulted. They have a reason to be upset and a reason to be afraid, it has happened to many people before. Many people within the asexual community and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole have experienced harassment and assault.
By denying that asexuals exist despite evidence that they in fact do, solely based on your misconceptions and political agendas that have little to do with our identity, you are perpetuating this dangerous mindset that people who do not fit into your idea of what a human being should be, need to be corrected.
My question to you is why then in situations where asexuals become upset over people harassing them, do asexuals get blamed for sticking up for themselves? Why are we not questioning why people think it's okay to send rape threats to people who identify as such? Why are we not questioning what their problem is, instead of what 'our' problem is?
My right to exist and to be safe should supersede your right to say whatever the hell you want. Your words have consequences and the consequences of them should not result in people like me getting harmed. This is more than about hurt feelings. This is an attack on our entire existence.
You do not belong in our spaces. You need not voice your "opinion" on our orientation, it's not a debatable topic and it is not a matter of conflicting opinions. The fact that you get defensive when asexuals rightfully become upset when you attack them shows that the problems lie with you and not with them. Furthermore, it is not your job to regulate what the asexual community does or says, that is something people within the community can debate and discuss critically.

Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk: Detailing the issues
There's been a lot of heat today about Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx Talk. And in the spirit of radical openness, I'd like to bring the community into our process.
While TED does not vet speakers at independent TEDx events, a TEDx talk can be removed from the TEDx archive if the ideas contained in it are wrong to the point of being unscientific, and that includes misrepresenting the scientific process itself.
Sheldrake is on that line, to some commenters around Twitter and the web. His talk describes a vision of science made up of hard, unexamined constants. It's a philosophical talk that raises general questions about how we view science, and what role we expect it to play.
When my team and I debate whether to take action on a TEDx talk, we think deeply about the implications of our decision -- and aim to provide the TEDx host with as clear-cut and unbiased a view as possible.
You are invited, if you like, to weigh in today and tomorrow with your thoughts on this talk. We'll be gathering the commentary into a couple of categories for discussion:
1. Philosophy. Is the basis of his argument sound -- does science really operate the way Sheldrake suggests it does? Are his conclusions drawn from factual premises?
2. Factual error. (As an example, Sheldrake says that governments do not fund research into complementary medicine. Here are the US figures on NIH investment in complementary and alternative medicine 2009-2010: http://nccam.nih.gov/about/budget/institute-center.htm )
As a note: Please know that whether or not you have time or energy to contribute here, the talk is also under review by the TED team. We're not requiring your volunteer labor -- but we truly welcome your input. And we're grateful to those who've written about this talk in other forums, including but not limited to Jerry Coyne, PZ Myers, Kylie Sturgess and some thoughtful Redditors.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Joe MartinMar 8 2013: Rupert Sheldrake is a "controversial figure". What does that mean? Is he controversial because he's a pseudo-scientist heck-bent on damaging the integrity of scientific discourse and needs to be quashed? Or is he controversial because he boldly speaks the truth about a scientific establishment whose thinking has gone a bit stale?
What is TEDxTalks to do? It has inadvertently touched paths with one of the more deep-seated, often-times unpleasant, yet important and exciting controversies extant in science today. Should it opt out by declaring Sheldrake guilty-as-charged, thereby appeasing those who want his head......
......or should it invite Rupert Sheldrake and his "opponents" to a series of TEDx sponsored debates?
I cannot think of a "hotter" ticket, both in terms of its relevance to science and its crowd-pleasing potential.

- Thunderstorms are the most common type of storm.
- These bring heavy rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and the odd tornado.
- Two conditions must exist for a thunderstorm to form:
- Moisture is needed to form clouds and rain.
- Warm air must be pushed up in the atmosphere to form large cumulus clouds
- As warm, moist air rises, a large cumulus cloud is created. This cloud warms the air around it therefore allowing it to rise even higher.
- During a thunderstorm, lightning and thunder are produced.
- Lightning is produced when electricity travels between negatively and positively changed parts of a cloud.
- This electricity discharges from the cloud and lightning flashes (which can create temperatures up to 27,760oC).
- When lightning occurs, air expands and contracts rapidly creating a loud noise called thunder.
- If lightning and thunder occur at the same time, why do we not hear and see the two events at the same time? This is because light travels a lot faster than sound. Therefore, when there is a large gap of time between lightning and thunder, the thunderstorm is further away.
- Never take shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm.
Lightning will ALWAYS strike the tallest object around so that it can take the shortest path possible to the ground. If you are outside during a thunderstorm, stay low and stay away from any tall object.
- Lightning never strikes the same place twice.
Lightning will always strike the tallest object around. The CN Tower is struck multiple times during a thunderstorm.
- Tornadoes form when fast-rising air (which occurs in a thunderstorm) begins to spin, forming a funnel of warm air and speeds.
- As the air rises and cools, the spinning speeds up.
- The funnel eventually forms an extremely low pressure area where it touches the ground.
- The low pressure area acts like a vacuum therefore sucking up all the material around it.
- Wind speeds in the tornado can be as high as 500 km/h.
- Hurricanes are common in the late summer or early fall over warm waters just north of the equator.
- Air is warmed from the ocean and an updraft is created. The air pressure in the center of the updraft is low therefore producing a swirling, circling, counterclockwise movement.
- More warm air is continuously pulled into the centre of the storm therefore adding more energy to the storm.
- Once the winds of the storm rise above 119km/h, the tropical storm becomes classified as a hurricane.
- The center of a hurricane is called the eye. The eye of a hurricane is calm and clear.
- Hurricane winds are usually not as fast as tornado winds, however, hurricanes can last for a couple of weeks and therefore create more damage.
- Blizzards are severe snowstorms with strong winds and low temperatures.
- Blizzards occur when winds are at a speed of 55km/h, temperatures are very low, and visibility is less than 200m.
- Blizzards develop the same way as thunderstorms except the low temperatures bring snow instead of lightning.
- Due to the lake-effect (remember section 4.5 – Regional Weather?) the area around the Great Lakes experiences a lot of blizzards.
- Floods can occur anywhere in the world except Antarctica.
- Floods are an excess of water that cannot be absorbed quickly enough by the ground.
- There are two types of floods: flash floods and broadside floods.
- Flash Floods
- These occur with little or no warning usually in cities where water cannot be drained away quickly enough by storm sewers.
- Broadside Floods
- These cover large areas of land and can last for months.
- These floods can usually be predicted in advance.
- These floods may occur if a winter with heavy snowfall is followed by heavy rainfall in the spring. This can cause rivers to overflow and flood surrounding areas.
- These floods can also be caused by tropical storms.

Onward to FULL legalization with no restrictions! If economic collapse is real, you have to be out of your mind not to plant cannabis everywhere! This plant will save the world from the current path of self destruction.
Current petroleum, oils, plastics and most products are toxic to the environment and human health. Hemp products are biodegradable and healthy for the planet and all life.
There are not enough physical police, jail cells, or military to cleanse the planet of an abundant cannabis plant. If such an event were to occur, how could anyone destroy all of the cannabis plants while not killing wildlife, and nature? Just grow.
E-mail, mail, phone, senators, local/federal/state/provincial politicians,
everyone in government, it does not take much effort to add several senders at once. Cannabis/marijuana/weed/whatever you call it, needs to be legalized with no restrictions.
Do not let the suppression allow any negativity, the censorship is only a manifestation of fear.

February 6, 2011 -In the morning the security ban message was still on the zeitgeist movement website for me, At 7:30 tonight I made another attempt and the ban appears to be lifted and not all topics were deleted. I do not trust that movement, too many topics have been deleted, banning my IP, then lift the ban, is just a waste of time. I show evidence of the security message. Anyone, or any group that does not support legalizing the cure to cancer, is not for the truth. I am always met with resistance even to the cure to cancer from the 'truth' movement. Peace. Visit my blog for a legalize the cure to cancer poster, or make your own, putting posters up like that in high schools is a good idea and can wake up the youth before the system totally corrupts their minds.

Great info, continue to push the word out. Unfortunately our worlds Gov. are experienced w/laughing this kind of stuff away. They claim that if hemp oil was a cure they would be using it. They say this at a republican fundraiser banquet w/the big pharmaceutical & Health care providers all in attendance at 100Bil' a plate!

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) – Rotary Lights will shine in Riverside Park for nine more nights.
To see the lights, people are asked to bring a non-perishable food item or donate money.
Rotary Lights President Pat Stephens said last year was a banner year for the display.
They collected more than 226,000 food items and $100,000 in donations.
But this year, Thanksgiving fell late, pushing the holiday display back six days. That meant Rotary Lights was down donations for November and part of December.
As the holidays neared, Stephens said donations have finally caught up – it will just be a more modest haul.
"Still the generosity is overwhelming," Stephens said. "And I don't hear any of the food pantries complaining. They are getting some nice donations. The shelves are filling."
Rotary Lights will run until 1 a.m. New Year's Day.

Manchester, New Hampshire
By Brian Snyder
It's all connected. The New Hampshire Food Bank serves food to people who need meals. The people getting the meals need job and life skills to get to the point that they don't need meals assistance. Someone needs to make the meals. Enter the culinary job training program at the Food Bank. In addition to learning kitchen skills, the students produce meals for three of the agencies of the New Hampshire Food Bank. In 2012, the kitchen produced a staggering 97,823 meals.
For course teacher and chef Jayson McCarter, whose credentials include cooking at the White House under two different administrations, it's about giving chances and opening doors. Along with an assistant chef and other staff, he has done that for over 250 people who have come through the program since it started in May 2008.
It's all connected. Take apples as an example. The program received a huge bin of apples — 735 pounds, equaling about 625 pounds after coring by the students (a lot of chances to practice their newly learned knife skills, essential in any kitchen job). Add about 55 pounds of water, honey and cinnamon to get to 680 pounds, or 75 gallons, of cooked applesauce which is about 2400 half cup servings of applesauce for next year's summer feeding program.
It's all connected. Fritza Lemintelamy, an unemployed, single mother of six, needs a job. But she also dreams of opening a Haitian restaurant. So she and two of her children are students in the latest culinary job training program. It's an eight-week investment, and a lot of time on her feet, in learning skills to get a job and – just maybe -her own restaurant. In 2011, 68% of the graduates of the program were employed six weeks after graduation.
Fritza and her six children are living without electricity at home; it was shut off after she was unable to keep up with the bills. So they shop for a dinner that doesn't require cooking or refrigeration – sandwiches made by flashlight. And they pray. And count pennies by candlelight to put gas into the nearly empty tank of the family car. But she says her 18-year-old son Jonathan, who according to her has an attention deficit disorder, was terribly withdrawn before the course; now he is opening up. "Now he talks," she says.

Dead Space 3 review: engineering violence | Polygon
Check out Polygon's review!
Dead Space 3 opens with series protagonist Isaac Clarke in hiding, as he tries to forget the horrors of the Marker, an alien artifact that causes insanity and, later, an awful post-mortem mutation called necromorphism. Isaac is pulled from his hole to help find the origin of the Marker's powerful signal on the forgotten iceball Tau Volantis, but he's on borrowed time — the Marker-inspired religious cult of Unitology has declared Isaac a heretic condemned to death. And at the center of Isaac's search lies Ellie, a fellow survivor — and more to Isaac — who led an expedition to Tau Volantis that's gone silent.

- The marriage between your music and Morrissey's words is so fluent it's incredible they were not conceived together.
"That is proof that despite the differences in our personalities there were emotions underneath that we both share and understand about each other, whether we like it or not. Luckily we found each other and were able to put it to music. We helped each other realise our dreams and escape our situations and have success. But we also found someone that we could both match and play emotional snap with. We were both romantics." - Johnny Marr (The Guardian, September 5th 2013)

MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin transportation officials are inviting kids to compete for a chance to win a special visit with a State Patrol trooper.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) has introduced its Summer Reading Challenge, which encourages children 10-years-old and younger to pick up a book and learn about transportation.
Participants will be given a gift and entered into a drawing to win a visit with a state trooper if kids read 10 books about transportation. The contest runs from Wednesday, June 12 through August 30.
A winner will be chosen by early September. For more information about the program and to find out how to get involved, visit WisDOT's website.
A DOT spokesperson says the contest is part of Gov. Scott Walker's Read to Lead Initiative, aimed to advance the development and growth of reading skills among young children in Wisconsin.
Last fall, five children from Chippewa, Dane, Kewaunee, Portage and Washington counties were rewarded with special safety visits from state troopers in their communities and schools.

The Mozilla Sponsors The ROFL
Categories: Partners and Friends, ROFLCon II, Tim
In the midst of all these (increasingly ridiculous) guest announcements, we'd be seriously remiss if we didn't take a moment to thank all the folks who are bringing some hard-earned dollars and kickass expertise to bear on gathering the whole world wide wubs here to Boston in a few months. It's no small thing, and we're proud to be teamed up with them.
Specifically, today, we're very glad to announce that the nonprofitting, web-browser-creating, awesome-producing folks over at Mozilla, will be jumping on board as conference sponsors for ROFLCon II. We're hugely indebted to them for actually sending the Firefox back in 2008 (leading to this bit of wonderfulness), and loving that we're teaming up with them once more to put this together.
They'll be there, repping some of their latest work with Drumbeat, and helping our team stream/capture everything that happens that weekend (which we'll be releasing afterwards in glorious CC BY, as per usual) from the conference for posterity. It's going to rock.
As always, if you're interested in hopping on board as a sponsor yourself, be sure to drop a line to tim AT roflcon DOT org.

You know texting and driving don't mix. But there's another dangerous issue Illinois State Police are keeping a close eye out for.
It's drowsy driving. This week is Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates at least 100,000 crashes are caused by people who drive tired. That results in more than 1,500 deaths. But there are ways to prevent drowsy driving.
"When we're traveling on Thanksgiving, coming up here, we want people to have a co-driver who is going to stay alert and be mindful of the driver in their car of their physical condition. That they're alert," said Master Sergeant Carl Heintz, Illinois State Police.
Sergeant Heintz says if you see someone weaving on the road, call 911 immediately.

GTI and Haldor Topsøe report successful operation of $35M pilot plant for converting woody biomass to gasoline; vehicle testing starting
May 30, 2014
|Pilot plant integrating Carbona gasification with TIGAS syngas-to-gasoline process. Click to enlarge.
In a recently completed project, Gas Technology Institute (GTI) worked with Haldor Topsøe, Inc. on an integrated biorefinery to make renewable "drop-in" gasoline. The use of renewable gasoline could reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 92% when compared to conventional gasoline.
The almost $35-million pilot-scale project, supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE) integrated biorefineries program ($25 million from DOE, $9,771,659 cost-share), converted woody biomass into bio-derived gasoline by fully integrating and optimizing biomass gasification and syngas cleanup steps with a unique process to turn syngas into gasoline.

Study finds alcohol mix from biomass-derived syngas could be suitable replacement for ethanol in fuel blending
May 12, 2014
|AlcoMix displays antiknock blending characteristics similar to those of ethanol when blended at various concentrations with non-oxygenated gasoline (RON = 82). Credit: ACS, Rapp et al. Click to enlarge.
Results of a study by a team from the US and Austria suggest that the primary alcohol mixture ("AlcoMix," comprising 75% ethanol, 11% 1-propanol, 8% 1-butanol, and 6% 1-pentanol) produced from biomass-based syngas could be used as a substitute for ethanol as a primary fuel or as an antiknock blending component.
The purpose of the study, reported in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels, was to determine whether AlcoMix,the probable outcome of the thermochemical conversion of biomass using Fischer–Tropsch chemistry with synthesis gas, might be a suitable replacement for ethanol in fuel blending as an antiknock blending component for spark-ignited engines.

Study finds that optimized integrated catalytic processing of biomass could produce renewable jet fuel with selling price as low as $2.88/gallon
May 09, 2014
|Integrated processing of hardwood to renewable jet and chemicals. Click to enlarge.
A team from seven US universities and the Korea Institue of Science and Technology, led by George Huber, Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has developed an integrated catalytic process for the conversion of whole biomass into drop-in aviation fuels with maximal carbon yields.
The researchers expect that in its current state, the proposed technology could deliver jet fuel-range liquid hydrocarbons for a minimum selling price of $4.75 per gallon—assuming nth commercial plant that produces 38 million gallons liquid fuels per year with a net present value of the 20 year biorefinery set to zero. Future improvements in this technology, including replacing precious metal catalysts by base metal catalysts and improving the recyclability of water streams, could reduce this cost to $2.88 per gallon.

Neste Oil and DONG Energy partner on renewable diesel and jet fuels from ag residues via microbial oil
February 28, 2014
Neste Oil, the world's largest producer of premium-quality renewable fuels, is working with DONG Energy, one of the leading energy groups in Northern Europe, to develop an integrated process to produce renewable diesel and aviation fuel derived from agricultural residues.
DONG Energy's Inbicon technology will be used in the first part of the process to pre-treat biomass and produce cellulosic sugars that can then be converted into microbial oil with Neste Oil's technology (earlier post). Microbial oil can be used as a feedstock for Neste's NExBTL process for premium-quality renewable fuels such as renewable diesel and renewable aviation fuel.

Primus Green Energy's STG+ patent for liquid fuel synthesis from syngas approved
February 05, 2014
Primus Green Energy Inc., an alternative fuel company that converts natural gas and other feedstocks directly into drop-in transportation fuels and solvents (earlier post), announced that its patent application covering its STG+ liquid fuel synthesis technology has been allowed by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). STG+ produces high-quality, cost-effective, drop-in liquid transportation fuels directly from syngas derived from natural gas and other carbon-rich feedstocks in a single-loop process.
STG+ essentially improves upon commercial methanol synthesis processes and ExxonMobil's methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process, combining them into an integrated, optimized system that efficiently converts syngas directly to fuels. In addition to the gasoline product, the STG+ process can also produce jet fuel, diesel and high-value chemicals by changing the catalysts and operating conditions. The company, which is currently producing synthetic gasoline at its demonstration plant (earlier post), plans to build several more reactors in parallel to the current production train for other fuel products.

Sasol, GE develop new anaerobic microbial technology for cleaning of Fischer-Tropsch waste water; boosting gas-to-liquids (GTL) value proposition
November 06, 2013
Sasol and General Electric (GE: NYSE)'s GE Power & Water have together developed new technology that will clean waste water from Fischer-Tropsch plants used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals, while also providing biogas as a by-product for power generation. The new Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor Technology (AnMBR) will be further developed at a new demonstration plant at Sasol's R&D Campus at its Sasol One Site in Sasolburg, South Africa.
AnMBR involves anaerobic micro-organisms that are able to live in environments devoid of oxygen, such as sediment layers on floors of lakes, dams and the ocean. Sasol currently uses aerobic microbes to treat GTL and coal-to-liquids (CTL) effluents in ORYX GTL, Qatar and Synfuels, Secunda facilities.

KIT's fast biomass pyrolysis to liquids bioliq plant produces first gasoline
September 30, 2013
|The multi-stage bioliq process produces high-quality synthetic fuels from straw and other biogenous residues. Graphic: N. Dahmen, KIT/IKFT. Click to enlarge.
The synthesis stage of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology's (KIT's) multi-stage bioliq pilot plant has begun operation and has produced biogasoline. All stages of the bioliq process—flash pyrolysis, high-pressure entrained-flow gasification, and now synthesis—have now been realized and the project will now be completed by testing the entire process chain and optimizing it for the large industrial scale.
As soon as all stages of the bioliq process will have been linked, the pilot plant will supply high-quality fuel from straw, probably in mid-2014. The complete bioliq process (Biomass to Liquid Karlsruhe) comprises four stages (earlier post):

KiOR seeks to double cellulosic fuels production at Columbus plant; $50M in from Khosla for Columbus II
September 26, 2013
Cellulosic gasoline and diesel company KiOR, Inc. is pursuing plans to double production capacity at its Columbus, Mississippi, facility through construction of a second facility incorporating KiOR's commercially proven technology. KiOR estimates that the Columbus II project will cost approximately $225 million; will break ground within 90 days of it raising sufficient equity and debt capital to commence the project; and will take approximately 18 months to construct and start up.
Once completed with its latest technology improvements, KiOR expects that the Columbus II project will allow each Columbus facility to achieve greater yields, production capacity and feedstock flexibility than the original design basis for the existing Columbus facility, enabling KiOR to more quickly make progress towards its long-term goal of 92 gallons per bone dry ton of biomass.

VTT study concludes gasification-based pathways can deliver low-carbon fuels from biomass for about 1.90-2.65 US$/gallon
July 04, 2013
A study by researchers at Finland's VTT has concluded that it is possible to produce sustainable low-carbon fuels from lignocellulosic biomass for as estimated gasoline-equivalent production cost of 0.5–0.7 €/liter (app. 1.90-2.65 US$/gallon US), with first-law process efficiency in the range of 49.6–66.7%—depending on the end-product and process conditions. Should the thermal energy produced as a by-product be exploited for district heat or industrial steam, the overall efficiency from biomass to salable energy products could reach 74–80%.
In their study, Ilkka Hannula & Esa Kurkela evaluated 20 individual biomass-to-liquids BTL plant designs based on their technical and economic performance. The investigation was focused on gasification-based processes that enable the conversion of biomass to methanol, dimethyl ether, Fischer-Tropsch liquids or synthetic gasoline at a large (300 MWth of biomass) scale.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Plenty of blame to go around in Jets' Saturday stinker
Point an accusatory finger at Anthony Peluso and his awful five-minute major penalty with the game tied, if so inclined. Go ahead and single out the bad line changes and sloppy defensive-zone coverage.
But if you want to get a real sense for the level of the Winnipeg Jets' frustration after Saturday afternoon's 6-4 loss to the Dallas Stars — and a potential turning point — Blake Wheeler offered up a different take.
And it was as much about their collective response in the third period when trailing 5-3 against a division rival as anything.
"We were terrible in the first period after kind of a gut-wrenching loss against Colorado," said the Jets' right-winger. "Normally our team has been better after we've had tough losses; we've responded pretty well most of the year. That first period, we were terrible. That's inexcusable. We fought back and got ourselves back in the game. I don't even look at it so much as the two power-play goals at the end of the period. That's fine, 5-3.
"How do we start the third? We give like two two-on-ones, two breakaways, It's embarrassing. It's just no respect for each other, for Monty (Al Montoya), he goes in there and he's cold and that's what we do? You just can't believe it."
Indeed, on a day in which the Jets trotted out Ondrej Pavelec bobbleheads, the club's No. 1 netminder never even made it to the third period, yanked after surrendering five goals on 24 shots. Pavelec was beaten for eight goals on 50 shots in his last five periods of work for the Jets, a .840 save percentage.
"We know we didn't play our game, that's the biggest thing," said Mark Scheifele. "We didn't play our best, we got away from our gameplan. It's unacceptable. We need a good bounce back game against Columbus (on Monday).
"They had more chances than they had goals. They had a ton of breakaways and chances off bad D-zone coverage. It's something that's unacceptable and we have to all be accountable for that. Our goalies kept us in... with the chances they had it could have been way more than that.
"It's the will to want to play defence, that's the biggest thing. We have to want to be reliable in our own end and bear down.
HOME WOES: The Jets are now 0-3-3 in their last six at home, their last win a 3-2 shootout decision over the Philadelphia Flyers on Nov. 15. Since Year 1 of their rebirth, when they were 23-13-5 at MTS Centre, the Jets have gone just 20-18-5 at home. And, dating back to last season's slump to the finish line, Winnipeg is 10-13-4 in their last 27 home games.
SENSATIONAL SEGUIN: Stars' centre Tyler Seguin has scored five goals in six periods at the MTS Centre this season, including the game-winner in Saturday's win.
'NO PLACE': Stars defenceman Alex Goligoski suffered a deep cut near his right eye after being hit from behind by Peluso, but came back to finish the game.
"It was gutsy of him to come back," said Stars head coach Lindy Ruff said. "Let's face it, that hit has no place in the game."
NO. 1 AND COUNTING: Colton Sceviour's third-period goal Saturday was the first of his NHL career, coming in just his third game after being called up from the AHL, where he led the league in scoring with 18 goals in 26 games.
"It's confidence," Sceviour told The Dallas Morning News. "I think I've been known to have slow starts, take a little while to get going, but once things get going they go well. This year I've been fortunate that things have gone well right off the bat, and when things go well things start going better even more often. The confidence builds and snowballs. I've been feeling confident, and things have been going my way.
"I've played all over in my five years (in the minors), and I can fit anywhere if there is room. I think that helps to get in the lineup to not just have one specific skill set, to be able to be plugged in anywhere. I hope that helps get me in the lineup, but that's out of my control. I am just happy to be here and see how it plays out."

About transportation in Fourni island, Greece
Transportation is limited in Fourni, due to the small size and the remote location of the island. There is a basic road network in the main island of Fourni, but the landscape is mountainous, so the road has ups and downs. Also the road is narrow and winding, so drivers have to be careful.
Most visitors in Fourni rent a motorbike to move around, or they take the small bus from the port that goes to few beaches around the island. There are also small boats that connect the main port of Fourni to the remote island of Thimena, the second inhabited island of the complex.

The story of Apollo 13 is that what could have been the worst space disaster in history became one of NASA's most stunning triumphs. Apollo 13 was crewed by commander James Lovell, command module pilot Ken Mattingly and lunar module pilot Fred Haise. It was to be the third lunar landing mission. The mission started with an unusual twist when Mattingly was replaced by backup pilot Jack Swigert two days before launch because Mattingly had been exposed to the German measles. Apollo 13 launched on April 13, 1970, and the mission went well until 56 hours into the flight. An oxygen tank exploded in the service module, damaged a nearby oxygen tank and rocked the command and lunar modules. The command module (CM) was losing oxygen and electrical power. The astronauts' lives were in jeopardy.
Mission controllers struggled to isolate the CM problems with no success. The astronauts quickly realized that they had to power up the lunar module (LM) and use it as a lifeboat. Flight director Gene Kranz, ordered the crew to shut down the CM to conserve its batteries, which would be needed to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.
Mission controllers had the astronauts do a number of course corrections with the lunar module engine to swing them around the moon and speed them back to Earth. To conserve power, the astronauts had to shut all of the spacecraft systems down except the radio. The spacecraft was cold and unpleasant.
Controllers had to devise new procedures so that the astronauts could navigate home without a computer and to power up the CM for re-entry using only the weakening battery power of the lunar module. The carbon dioxide in the spacecraft rose to toxic levels, so engineers had to device a system to adapt square-shaped carbon dioxide scrubbers from the CM to work with the round-shaped system in the lunar module.
As the spacecraft approached Earth, the astronauts jettisoned the service module and saw the vast damage caused by the explosion. They next jettisoned the LM and re-entered the atmosphere. There were intense moments as flight controllers waited to hear from the astronauts because the CM heat shield may have been damaged, meaning the astronauts might not survive re-entry. The astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean and Apollo 13 was dubbed a "successful failure."
An investigation determined that a wire to the oxygen tank had been damaged, which caused it to spark and set off the explosion. None of the crew members ever returned to space.
One of NASA's greatest achievements was the brilliant rescue of the crew members aboard the spacecraft Apollo 13. Apollo 13 was launched on April 11, 1970, with the goal of reaching the moon. Unfortunately, almost 56 hours after takeoff, one of the oxygen tanks exploded. The second oxygen tank malfunctioned as a result of the force of the explosion, and two out of the three fuel cells stopped working. Soon, all of the crew's support systems, including oxygen, light, heat, water and power, were out of commission. The crew members managed for six days with scarcely any food, water or sleep in freezing temperatures. NASA's Mission Control Center worked tirelessly to bring the crew back safely, performing calculations that usually would have taken months to perform. On April 17, Apollo 13 landed safely in the Pacific Ocean.

by James Slater: Freddie roach is, without a doubt, one of the most competent trainers in the sport of boxing today. With too many fine fighters to mention having worked with Roach throughout his excellent career, Freddie's pedigree has been proven time and again. Now, in attempting to help the 43 year old Bernard Hopkins to get a victory over the unbeaten Joe Calzaghe on Saturday, Roach is on the verge of one of his greatest challenges. In an interview with BBC sport, Roach says he and his team have developed an ideal plan to beat the superb Welshman.
"Calzaghe has a difficult and awkward style, " Freddie began. "But he's never faced anyone like Bernard - Bernard knows more about boxing than all of us [in our team]. There's me, John David Jackson and Naazim Richardson in the team, because we needed to create a battle plan. Joe stands in front of you, he's a little bit square and he throws punches over the top, and that leaves openings for a good counter-puncher, Roach added.
A good counter-puncher Bernard Hopkins certainly is. It sounds as though Roach and his team have definitely done their homework, as would be expected from such experienced pros. Freddie went even further when explaining tactics, however.
"I know Joe has bad hands, and we're going to take advantage of that," the trainer continued. "When a big punch comes, Bernard will dip his head and get hit on the forehead and Joe's going to hurt his hands. My guy knows how to do that. Bernard is a textbook fighter. His chin's down, his hands are up, his feet are always in the right position, and he's never off balance," Roach also stated.
With no stone left unturned, one thing is clear - Bernard Hopkins has a well planned out strategy for the big fight. The same can almost certainly be said for Calzaghe and his team, of course, but Roach's talk of exploiting the unbeaten fighters well known hand trouble has to be worrying for the Welshman and his fans. If, for example, Joe does find himself fighting with only one hand in good condition, he will be in real trouble. And it's happened before, let's not forget. There's just no way a one-handed fighter, whoever he is, can beat Hopkins, that's for sure. Roach closed his BBC interview with one final nugget of info.
"It's all about how many beatings you've taken in boxing, and neither guy has. How many beatings has Bernard taken? None. He's a young 43," Roach declared.
We will see if this changes any come Tomorrow night!

Declining graduation rates and increasing student loan debts are topics of concern in Washington.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - A creative, after-school Lansing program is helping students reach out to discover art. "Gets me out of the house and involved in the community and it's a great experience," said Shayna Walker, 15.An experience shared by 17-year-old Wesley Castillo. They're both students of Reach Studio Art Center in Reo Town. The non-profit organization connects at-risk kids with local artists. Together, they design new artistic works for the community, all while crafting creative life skills. "At Reach, they let you go out there and be you. We're showing our work, that's really exciting," said Wesley.The excitement this time literally revolves around acclaimed glass artist Craig Mitchell Smith of Okemos, who's working with the Reach students on a fun planetary project. "This is truly the kids design, I'm just helping them get there. We're doing a radiant sun, all eight planets. We wanted to do Pluto, but it was demoted," said Smith. But their work will soon be promoted on display in downtown Lansing for everyone to star gaze at. "Hanging at Impression 5 Science Center and people will be able to walk through and see the solar system," said Emily Nott, the Reach coordinator.They'll also be able to see just how integral the arts can be for building better communities and relationships. Thanks to this program's outreach, they're finding it in truly an out of this world way. The Reach planetary project will be on display at I-5 next month.
