Paolo Paraiso points out that he and Mylene Dizon (inset) may not be a "couple romantically" but they remain good friends. The actress, who is currently in the United States, is scheduled to give birth to their second child this April.
The Arranque Market near Divisoria became much busier than usual when two male actors recently shot scenes for their upcoming indie film. Last Friday, March 20, Sid Lucero and Paolo Paraiso drew a crowd of onlookers as they sat in front of a pet shop discussing family matters.
This is one of the scenes in the Cinemalaya 2009 entry Astig (Mga Batang Kalye), which will compete at the Cultural Center of the Philippines this July. (Click HERE to learn more about the indie film Astig.)
After shooting in Arranque, Sid and Paolo then transferred to Barbosa Street in Quiapo, Manila to shoot some more exterior scenes. Curious bystanders waited quietly as the actors listened to directions from their director GB Sampedro.
PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) was able to have an exclusive interview with Paolo after he finished his scenes. The GMA-7 star informed PEP about the status of Mylene Dizon, who is now pregnant with their second child.
He revealed that his former girlfriend is now in the United States where she is expected to give birth during the last week of April. Mylene is currently staying in Chicago with her family and their eldest son Tomas.
"Lilipad din ako dun, eventually," says Paolo. "Kung hindi man para sa panganganak niya...kung maabutan ko siya manganak, good. Pero kung hindi, susunduin ko lang siya para may katulong siya. Dalawang bata dala niya pauwi niya dito, e. Tutulungan ko lang siya pauwi."
PRIOR AGREEMENT. Paolo clarifies that even though he and Mylene do not live under one roof, this arrangement is doing very well for both them.
"Wala naman siyang restrictions sa akin kung kelan ko siya puwedeng bisitahin. Basta may oras siya, pupunta lang ako. Kahit araw-araw ako pumunta run sa bahay niya para bisitahin, okay lang. Kasi we're both parents naman ni Tomas. Mapapag-usapan namin ang tungkol sa mga anak namin.
"Hindi kami couple ni Mylene, romantically, pero we're good friends," stresses Paolo.
What if Mylene gives birth to another child?
"Okay na 'to. Sarado na e. 'Yan na napag-usapan namin dati, e."
The actor then admitted that he and Mylene already had a previous agreement to give their son Tomas a sibling even if their relationship does not work out.
"Dalawa [ang plano namin]. Kasi malungkot yung isa, e. 'Saka ever since naman, napag-usapan namin ni My dati na if ever magkahiwalay kami, talagang dapat magkapatid. Mas mahirap i-explain yung, 'Anak, uhh, kapatid mo siya. Pero sa ibang partner naman.' At least, yun lang ngayon. Ang ine-explain lang namin sa kanila is kung ba't kami hiwalay," says Paolo.
SURPRISE IDENTITY. Does he already know the gender of their baby?
"Para sa 'kin, parang may hint na lalaki yung baby. Pero hindi pa ko sigurado, e," says the first-time indie film actor.
According to Paolo, they deliberately asked the doctor not to reveal the gender of their baby so they would be surprised when Mylene gives birth. He also revealed that Tomas, their eldest son, says that he wants to have a baby sister.
What name would he give the child if he happens to be a boy?

text: Home Culture Does It Matter If He Calls Me His Girlfriend? Ask Demetria: How he introduces you to friends and family does say something about your relationship. By: Demetria L. Lucas Posted: May 9 2013 12:53 AM 0 Generic image (Thinkstock Images) (The Root) -- "I read something about a woman who was dating a guy for six months and he didn't introduce her when they ran into people. It got me thinking -- does it matter if your boyfriend introduces you like 'This is Gina' instead of saying, 'This is my girlfriend, Gina'? Does saying 'girlfriend' first mean anything more than just saying the name?" --C.W. I'll probably tick off a lot of people and upset a lot of "relationships" by saying this, but yes, it means something more. It changes the way you are treated and perceived; a title or lack thereof is one indicator about the seriousness of the relationship. Over the weekend, I attended a birthday celebration for a friend of my parents. It was a grand event with lots of people they didn't know. We all had the honoree in common, so it made it easy to mingle. Without fail, everyone we met introduced themselves and whoever they were with as, "my wife, Gina," "my husband, Martin" or "my daughter Ashley." There's a reason for that. Not only does it establish the relationship, but it also gives a cue as to how you should respectfully proceed in engaging each of the parties. "This is Gina" tells the person that you're being introduced by nothing but your name. Gina could be a co-worker or a random woman he just met, and she could be fair game to approach about a date. It's unclear and can make for awkward situations. "My wife, so-and-so, or "my girlfriend" -- that is, claiming someone -- lets the person you're speaking to know that there is a relationship in place and what kind. The title used denotes the importance of the relationship. Titles are also subtle signals that say, "Hands off. She's taken. Do not approach." Our group has been introduced to various women over the years -- so many that we've lost count. He introduces them as "This is Gina" or even, like the guy you referred to, not at all, which, frankly, is just poor manners, likely combined with a lack of any real interest. We all note when there is no title or no introduction, so we engage in minimal small talk to be polite. The unspoken assumption, however, is that he's not serious about this one and she'll be replaced soon enough, so there's no sense in getting to know her too well or making a big to-do. She's a date for the evening. Maybe we'll see her again, but likely not. At this very swank affair, my friend arrived with a woman I'd never seen before, which was expected. Usually my interactions with him include some sort of teasing about him soon running out of women in New York's tristate area to date. He knows this and I know this. And that is why promptly, upon spotting me, he came over with his lady beside him and said, "D, this is my girlfriend, Gina." This required a new approach. "Gina! It's so nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you," I lied (about the last part) while going in for a hug. I was headed to the bar and invited "Gina" to go with me to keep her company while her man took her coat to be checked. I bothered to get to know her and her details. The title said that she was special, so she was treated as such. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Carnival has also brought meals aboard from two other cruise ships, the cruise line said Monday. Earlier, Carnival said in a statement that hot coffee was available, among other options.
"All our guests are safe, and we're doing everything we can to make them as comfortable as possible," Carnival CEO Gerry Cahill said Monday night. "We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience, discomfort and frustration our guests are feeling."
In addition to the two Carnival ships that have brought supplies, the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Vigorous is steaming nearby.
The Triumph is "in deep water and not near any hazards to navigation," said Cmdr. Greg Magee, commander of the Vigorous.
Carnival initially planned to tow the ship to Progreso, Mexico, but strong currents that pushed it 90 miles north by Monday night prompted the decision to move the ship to Mobile instead. The change will also make it easier on the 900 passengers who don't have passports, the cruise line said.
Passengers will get a free flight home, a full refund for their trip and most expenses aboard, and a credit for another cruise, Carnival said.
The incident has forced Carnival to cancel the ship's next two departures, refund bookings for those trips and offer those passengers discounts on future cruises.
In 2010, the Carnival's cruise ship Splendor lost power after an engine room fire, leaving it drifting off the Pacific coast of Mexico. The USS Ronald Reagan ferried 60,000 pounds of supplies for the ship's passengers and crew as the ship was towed to San Diego.

As promised last month, there have been some changes to the Top 10. From this point forward, all events will be included in the tally, not just concerts. Let's get on with it.
Topping the list this month is the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The famous circus had a convincing lead in ticket sales compared to all other events, thanks to its multiple concurrent tours and affordable prices. It accounts for nearly 20% of tickets sold for the events in this month's Top 10.
Following that are many of the concerts seen before in previous Top 10 lists, including Jason Aldean, One Direction, Bruce Springsteen, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, and the KISS & Mötley Crüe tour. Finally, representing theater are the ever-popular Wicked, The Book of Mormon, and Cirque du Soleil - Dralion.
Tags: Ringling Brothers, Top 10, Ticketing Trends
As of July 31 both of the acts mentioned in the headline have been in the Top 10 for five months, so it's only fitting that they should claim the top two spots for the July list. While One Direction has never left the top 5, the Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan tour has slowly climbed its way up.
The big loser is Justin Bieber, who's dropped completely off the list after holding the top spot for the last two months. It's the biggest downward movement since Van Halen fell from #2 in March. However, it is possible that Bieber will return as the September 29 tour beginner gets closer.
What happened? I can only speculate, but I'll call it the Newbie Effect, which seems to work on sales in two ways. First, the initial excitement for Justin Bieber is long gone. Bieber Fever was at its peak back in 2010, when he was #1 or #2 for nine months. Second, much of that excitement has transferred to One Direction. It's likely that Bieber would be doing better right now if they'd never come along, but they did and so he's not.
Tags: One Direction, Jason Aldean, top 10, Ticketing Trends
In this edition of the Concert Top 10, Justin Bieber still reigns supreme (was there ever any doubt?), holding steady to his commanding lead, which is fairly considerable given that he only came in on top by a hair in May. The event that almost beat it, American Idol Live!, actually completely dropped out of the Top 10 in June.
Meanwhile, Kenny Chesney took two spots. This is a first for the Top 10. How can someone double-dip, you ask? Well, Chesney is part of a tour with Luke Bryan, but he also had a solo performance on June 20. As it's not part of the Brothers of the Sun Tour, it needed to be split up. Something that's interesting is, if Bryan were part of that event, it would have helped the BotS to convincingly overtake Bieber.
Tags: concerts, top 10, Justin Bieber, Kenny Chesney, Ticketing Trends
If ever there was a story in star power, it is Justin Bieber. In 10 short days he managed to climb his way to the top of the Top 10 list, and he has a decent shot of being the top seller for June as well. Interestingly, it was a pretty close race, and American Idol Live nearly claimed the crown, but in the end more fans came out for Bieber. It doesn't hurt that it's been more than a year since he toured North America
Then there is One Direction. Last month, the exit question was, "Can One Direction keep up the pace, or will they also begin dropping down on the list?" As it turns out, yes, they began to fall down the list. It wasn't for lack of popularity, though. It happens almost every time a band first sells tickets for a tour. After the initial excitement for the tour dies down, and the first round of ticket purchases happens, the band sells fewer tickets in any given week. Depending on the band's ability to attract people to their concerts, they might fall off the radar completely, but One Direction will likely remain a top-selling act for some time to come.
Tags: concerts, Top 10, Justin Bieber, One Direction
Last month the story was about One Direction's quick rise to popularity in the U.S. This month, the story is about how tickets for the One Direction tour completely took over the Top 10. The band was the unchallenged leader among all artists, accounting for over 8% of all concert tickets sold on TicketNetwork.com*. Twice as many tickets were bought for their shows than for the Jimmy Buffett tour, which came in second. The story isn't anywhere near over, either, as new dates were announced a couple weeks ago for their next tour in 2013.
Otherwise, things are much the same as March, with a few exceptions. Jimmy Buffett entered the Top 10 for the first time, which makes sense. As the summer approaches, a lot of people are thinking about escaping to paradise, and who better to give them that than Jimmy Buffett? Also new on the list are Rascal Flatts. On the flip side, Madonna has slipped off the list.

OK, we know... it's not totally original, but since every other site out there seems to have a video page, we decided to have one too. After all, our user's image gallery has been a huge success, so why not a video gallery?
So, what we essentially do is gather the best fishing videos from all the different sources on the web. We don't host them, we just embed them and link to them, so this is really kind of an index. But that can be OK too, can't it?
It's also a desperate measure to get some content to the site. We've been all too busy this year with tonnes other things than publishing on GFF... but that's a whole other story.
For now we invite you to add fishing videos to this new part of the site. We'll review them as we do with all user submitted contributions. It filters out the worst spam.
You can read more about the video service in this article, something about videos in "The new breed" and see our content tagged with "video" here.

A 2011 ruling by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance -- or FISA -- Court found unconstitutional the NSA's inability to collect foreign Internet data without also collecting domestic data.

Flame-retardant PBT for use on railways
Published: December 12th, 2013
A flame-retardant polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin grade from BASF is now being used in DC contactors in a rail application. These contactors must satisfy the stringent fire prevention requirements of the French Railway Standard NF F 16-101. The 25% glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic Ultradur B4450 G5 is based on a special flame retardant system and, with its especially good values for smoke density and toxicity, satisfies the requirements for the I3F2 classification in this standard.
Ankle brace designed and molded in Indiana helps keep Peyton Manning in the game
Published: December 11th, 2013

Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming noticed after the finish.

text: I was planning on buying this game after the import problems clear up. (that is if there are any in the U.S.). and I was just wondering, i was gonna import the songs into rock band 2. but is the game worth keeping after I do. I mean, if i import than the songs are all in a different game that has all my RB2 songs, RB1 songs and DLC. I was just wondering. Oh, one more question, is the import code on like a paper or something or do I get it online. I just wanted to know in case i get a used copy that ill still get my code, since i may sell the game if its not worth it after importing i also wanted to know this answer so i know if the person that would buy it after i sell it would still get to import.

Of course, you've got a monster to-do list, and it doesn't help that someone's always yelling about the Christmas shopping countdown from your car radio and, frankly, everywhere else. You need to find tasteful gifts for your coworkers (might as well make up for whatever will or did go down at this year's holiday party). Plus, you don't want to forget about all the people who help make your world go 'round—the nurse who finds a way to squeeze you in or the postal worker who routinely offers a kind word. Plus, you're starting to freak out about finding the ultimate gift for your significant other.
But here's the thing. No one wants to feel like an item on your to-do list.
[Read How to Cope With Holiday Stress.]
In fact, it's not the thought that counts, says Sherri Athay, gift consultant and author of Present Perfect: Unforgettable Gifts for Every Occasion. "It's the thinking that counts," she says. "We just don't stop to think for a minute." But do so, and you may be surprised at the simple, special delights you can give someone.
According to Athay, a meaningful gift is a particular one; it comes from carefully considering the recipient's distinctive likes and needs as well as your own special skills while conveying the right message. So, for example, Assay bakes chocolate-chip cookies that her publicist adores. Presto! Perfect publicist gift. Everyone has that signature something they can give, she says. (Perhaps that's why we refer to talents as gifts.) Have an eye for photography? Wrap up an artsy photo for your favorite aesthete. Known for your knack with the elderly? Arrange some time to visit a retirement community. Perhaps you simply spend time with someone you love—instead of a gift card to a restaurant, why not take a friend there for dinner?
[Read From the Health and Fitness Experts: Healthy Gift Ideas.]
The most meaningful gifts, Athay says, are those "that can't come from anybody else, that can't be purchased, and that's why the time spent is so precious." In fact, one of the most valuable gifts she's received from her children was a bundle of loving letters for Mother's Day, though this could work for any occasion, she says. For a gift that wowed a crowd, Athay recalls the story of a woman who read aloud 64 things she loves about her Dad at his 64th birthday dinner. "Those are the kinds of things that cost nothing but our time and a little bit of thought."
And that process also benefits the giver.
"In all these amazing studies we have, when people focus their mind on what they can do to give to another human being, even if it's buying a gift or making a financial contribution to a meaningful charity, when their mind is focused in that way, a part of the brain lights up"—specifically, the reward center, explains Stephen Post, author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping. Turning away from your own stresses to think about helping others "shifts the whole emotional dynamic of the brain, and it kicks in these pathways of joy and gratification, which are really good for you, and it shuts down a lot of the bad stuff," he says.
Take the Christmas example of Scrooge, Post says. Once he begins giving, "he's got what I call 'the giver's glow'... he's discovered this incredible joy, and it's liberated him from his old self to a newer self and a better self."
[Read Best Diets for Healthy Eating.]
Apart from the emotional value of exchanging gifts, these rituals have evolutionary underpinnings, says Gad Saad, author of The Evolutionary Bases of Consumption and The Consuming Instinct: What Juicy Burgers, Ferraris, Pornography, and Gift Giving Reveal About Human Nature. Gifts have been used for courtship, "kin investments," (people tend to give grander gifts to relatives who are closer or perceived as closer), and to bond with others through a sense of reciprocity, he says. For example, a Bedouin might host a wandering traveler, but would expect said traveler to host him should he find himself in a similar situation, Saad says.
"The beauties but also the pitfalls of the gift-giving ritual is that it is laden with potential land mines," that could explode if we don't negotiate that ritual, says Saad, who is a professor of marketing at Concordia University. Success hinges on the giver's ability to "understand the dynamic and expectations of each of these very different gift-giving situations," he says. And, of course, "pay attention to things he or she is interested in," so that your selection reflects care.
If that's enough to make you wish for the days when you could simply read a child's note to Santa that makes it plain (apart from backwards letters) what he or she wants for Christmas, don't worry.
"Focus your mind, and be empathic, and then go out and give it your best," says Post. And remember, it's the thinking that counts.
Corrected on 12/14/2012: A previous version of this story misspelled the name of Sherri Athay and the title of the book The Hidden Gifts of Helping.

Eye Candy: Beard House

On the Menu: June 21 to June 27
Here's what happening at the Beard House next week: Monday, June 22, 7:00 P.M. Artisanal European Wine Dinner Not long ago Shin Thompson and friends began hosting an underground dining club out of their tiny Chicago apartments; within a couple of years they had opened a restaurant. Today Bonsoirée thrills diners with carefully composed tasting menus, all of which feature chef Thompson's imaginative French cuisine presented with Japanese precision. Tuesday, June 23, 7:00 P.M. Chefs of Steel At the D.C. area's acclaimed 2941 restaurant, chefs Jonathan Krinn and Jon Mathieson won awards and accolades for their creative modern American cuisine. Now, as co-chefs of Inox (French forEat this Word: Marcona Almonds
WHAT? Sovereign nut. Prized around the world, Marcona almonds are round, flat, and tan, and the trees on which they grow require tender, loving care. Marconas, which come from Spain, are typically eaten peeled, fried in olive oil, and salted. Spanish cuisine may have more uses for almonds than any other cuisine in the world. Although we once read that almonds "exert a relaxing effect and enhance intellectual activity," we suspect the real reason the Spanish eat so many of them is simpler—taste these. It's no wonder they have been called the "queen of almonds." WHERE? Jonathan Krinn and Jon Mathieson's Beard House dinner WHEN? June 23, 2009Tastebud: Introducing the Sudachi
Looking to put some pep on your plate? Consider the zesty sudachi, a prized Japanese citrus that remains largely unknown to American diners. Despite its humble size—its average weight hovers between one and one and a half ounces—a sudachi packs more zippy flavor than lemons or limes. The perfume of its skin fades as the fruit matures, so growers harvest the sudachi when still green and unripe. Japanese chefs use it to garnish sashimi and season grilled fish, soups, and hot pot dishes. Sudachi trees thrive in the warm, gentle climate of Tokushima, a prefecture on the southern coast of Japan, where they are a cheap commodity. But throughout the rest of the country sudachi are considered a delicacy and fetch sky-high prices. Beyond Japan's borders, the fruit is rarely seen.
Fortunately, chefs who cooked at the Beard House this spring gave diners a taste without asking to see a passport: Asiate's Brandon Kida served sudachi granita, while David Myers and Noriyuki Sugie paired sudachi with fluke sashimi. And next Monday, Shin Thompson of Chicago's Boinsoirée will serve the citrus with sea beans, pickled radishes, duck skin, cucumber... Read more >

The FAA's plan to consolidate hundreds of outdated ATC facilities is still not ready with two weeks to go before the Congressionally-mandated deadline. This could potentially delay the $40 billion program to modernize the United States' air traffic control system.
The hangup is that there is no agreement yet on plans to close, consolidate or realign over 400 ATC facilities across the nation, many of which are in disrepair. A big component of the upgrade is NextGen, and the new system is reliant upon the consolidation of ATC facilities; a process that could take as long as two decades. The deadline from Congress is part of the FAA reauthorization signed into law in February; at that time the FAA was given 120 days to submit a plan.
Members of the House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Aviation expressed frustration that the FAA waited until the last minute to finalize the plans. The Miami Herald reports that Rep. Peter DeFazio asked if the agency would have enough time to draft a plan that affects thousands of workers and represents billions of dollars of investment. "We're going to have something comprehensive nine days after you sit down with the people you identify as the principal stakeholders?" he said.
According to Niel Wright, spokesman for Wisconsin Rep. Tom Petri, Congress wouldn't give the FAA an extension and the Transportation Committee would exert pressure on the agency to finish the plan. "Government agencies need the cooperation of Congress, so they generally try to cooperate in return," he said.
The FAA is planning to start the consolidation process in the notoriously congested airspace of the New York region, a project that will place high-altitude and low-altitude controllers under one roof. The FAA estimates that it will cost $2.3 billion to construct its first four integrated facilities but that it has only $700 million set aside for them."I would hope that the FAA, working with the stakeholders, comes up with a plan that measures the true cost," Costello said.

Halo Headlines: Aybar Wins a Gold Glove, DiPoto Begins Hiring His Staff, Vernon Wells Does NOT Opt Out
The November 2nd, 2011 edition of daily news for the LA Angels including Erick Aybar won a Gold Glove, DiPoto begins hiring his staff, Vernon Wells does NOT opt out of his contract and much more...
The Story: Erick Aybar won his first Gold Glove, but Peter Bourjos did not.
The Monkey Says: The Gold Gloves continue to be a joke. Aybar is a good defensive shorstop, but neither UZR nor DSR graded him out as anything but average this season. As for Bourjos, he got screwed. Ellsbury beating him out is a classic case of the players and manager being unable to separate a player's offense from his defense. It isn't that Ellsbury is a poor fielder, but both Bourjos and Austin Jackson graded out much better.
The Story: Jerry DiPoto hired Larry Corrigan as special assistant to the general manager.
The Monkey Says: Corrigan has a scouting and coaching background and has been in baseball for forever. This seems like a strong hire, so DiPoto is off to a good start, but I'd still like to see him bring in someone a little more business savvy.

Release Date: May 8, 2000
The world's premier test facility for future power plants has achieved a major milestone - and in the process, raised prospects for a new class of coal technology that researchers now believe could lead to cleaner, more efficient and lower cost electric power generation.
The Power System Development Facility at Wilsonville, Alabama, is the Nation's state-of-the-art test facility for 21st century power generating technologies.
The U.S. Department of Energy and Southern Company today jointly announced the first successful test of a new type of technology for turning coal into gas. The gas could then be used in future turbines or fuel cells to generate electricity more cleanly than traditional power plants.
The innovative coal gasifier, called a "transport reactor," is installed at the Power Systems Development Facility in Wilsonville, AL, the most advanced test facility for future power technologies in the world. Southern Company operates the facility for the Energy Department.
The "transport reactor" is based on technology used in refineries to "crack" crude oil into lighter products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Originally it was intended to be used in the Power Systems Development Facility to generate hot, particulate-laden coal gas for testing the effectiveness of advanced pollution control filters. But as the technology evolved, engineers from Southern Company and Kellogg Brown & Root, the system's developers, saw its promise as a possible forerunner of a new class of coal gasification technology.
The innovation is important because coal gasification is likely to be used increasingly as the core of future power plants. Rather than burning coal directly, gasification changes coal into a mixture of combustible gases. In gaseous form, coal can be cleaned of virtually all of its pollutant-forming impurities.
With Americans ranking air quality as one of their most important priorities, coal gasification could emerge as one of the most environmentally acceptable ways to produce electricity from the nation's abundant coal supplies. Today, nearly 56 percent of the nation's electricity is generated from coal.
"Future coal systems will have to become increasingly cleaner and more efficient if the United States wants to continue to use its most abundant and economical fuel to meet energy needs and sustain economic growth," said Robert W. Gee, DOE's Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy. "We are pleased to report that we are making huge progress in our clean coal research at the Power Systems Development Facility."
Initially, researchers operated the "transport reactor" as an advanced pressurized combustor. After nearly 5,000 hours of test runs, they converted the device to operate as a gasifier. Since September, the system has successfully operated for more than 400 hours as a gasifier.
The "transport reactor" could prove to be a simpler, more compact, and more efficient way to gasify coal - advantages that translate into lower costs. Because it was developed for a highly fuel-flexible test facility, it was designed to process a wide variety of coals and other candidate utility fuels such as petroleum coke.
"Our goal is to make coal both cost competitive and environmentally comparable to natural gas, and we're almost there," said Dr. Charles H. Goodman, Southern Company's vice president for research and environmental affairs.
"When operating as a pressurized combustor, the transport reactor performs better than any in the world, and we've now demonstrated that we can operate it smoothly as a gasifier," Goodman said. "The performance has exceeded our expectations. We're now in the process of trying to optimize the reactor."
Goodman said Southern Company is on track to make a decision as early as next year on whether to build a commercial power plant using the technology.
How It Works The "transport reactor" is essentially a long tube in the shape of a loop with coal and limestone fed at the top of a mixing zone where they contact hot char and react to produce a fuel gas, sulfur compounds, and a char containing carbon. These are circulated around the reactor by the gas flow.
The sulfur compounds are collected by the limestone and the limestone and char are separated from the product gas in a disengager. The char is partially burned by oxygen or air introduced at the bottom of the mixing zone to provide the heat to allow new coal to react. A slipstream of char and sulfur compounds is removed from the system and sent to a sulfator to recover additional heat and produce inert sulfur compounds.
In addition to virtually eliminating emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, the process is expected to surpass the 40-45 percent efficiencies of today's integrated gasification combined cycle power plants. Higher efficiencies mean that less fuel is used to produce electric power, and in turn, emissions of carbon dioxide are reduced. Carbon dioxide is the major focus of global warming concerns, and the new technology could reduce the release of this gas by more than a third.
The technology also lends itself to carbon sequestration options -- an emerging family of technologies that might one day be used to capture and store greenhouse gases emitted from energy facilities. Oxygen rather than air can be fed to the reactor which eliminates the large quantities of nitrogen that would otherwise be present in the gas stream (air is 80% nitrogen) . This allows a concentrated stream of carbon dioxide to be produced that can be more easily captured and sequestered.
A Source of Gas for Filter Testing At the Power System Development Facility, researchers plan additional tests of the transport reactor. It will continue to be used for its original purpose, generating coal-derived gas to test other pollution control technologies, such as high-temperature, particulate removal filters supplied by Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation and Combustion Power Corporation, who help fund the project.
The facility is also capable of testing fuel cells, which can be fueled by hydrogen or by reformed gas from the transport reactor to produce electricity very cleanly.
The $275 million project receives 20 percent of the funds from Southern Company, the Electric Power Research Institute, Foster Wheeler Corporation, Kellogg Brown & Root (a business unit of Halliburton Company), Peabody Group, Combustion Power Corporation and Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation. The Department of Energy, as part of its Coal and Power Systems Program, funds 80 percent.
The Power Systems Development Facility is the focal point for much of the advanced coal-based power generation research supported through the Energy Department's Office of Fossil Energy. The Energy Department's involvement in the facility is overseen by the National Energy Technology Laboratory, the major fossil energy research arm of the agency.

Functional Morphology, Skeletal Design and Performance, Predator/Prey Interactions, and Animal Behavior
My research examines the link between functional design and ecological utility in vertebrates. I use examinations of dissected carcasses, fully articulated skeletons, and animal behavior to better understand how evolution has shaped organismal design and performance. In my laboratory, we employ EMG's, high-speed video cameras, and pressure transducers to better understand the feeding mechanisms of fishes. In the field, we use SCUBA, rebreathers, portable high-speed video systems, and still-cameras to tease out the intricacies of specialized feeding performance by everything from pelagic species to reef species. My students and I have also worked on the biomechanics of mammal locomotion, tooth development and phenotypic plasticity in fishes, and communication in lizards. We use biomechanics, gross dissection, dermestid beetles, and behavioral observations to draw conclusions about what makes predators successful at doing what they do best -- catching and killing their prey.

Seem to have an issue updating (and now installing) Photos II
Background - had early version of Photos II installed on Netgear Ultra 6. Tried to do the "upgrade" options from the Photos add-in, file downloaded and got to "binary extraction started" notice but extraction never seems to finish. Deleted the add-in and tried to add it back with a fresh download of version 1.0.4. Same situation "binary extraction started" but again, never finishes. Have tried rebooting the NAS with no success. Just updated 4.2.19 firmware so please consider that box checked. And based on notes elsewhere in this forum reupdated the firmware ...
But the problem continues ... don't seem to be able to move beyond the "binary extraction started" notification.
Any suggestions for what I'm missing??

You know you're home
"When the mill was running, it made a lot of noise," Leon told me, "but you never noticed it until Sunday. This store got started back in 1929, when my parents would take sandwiches and drinks to the railway workers. In the forties and fifties it was like one big family here—we used to have Easter egg hunts." But when the mill closed, many eventually drifted away. Leon moved to Conley to find better schools for his children, but he has every intention of moving back when they're grown. "When you see those smokestacks," he said, "you know you're home."
One block down the street. Esther Lefever is working at The Patch. She's not a native, but 17 years ago she felt the pull of this remarkable little neighborhood and helped develop support activities for the community. One of her recent projects is a ceramics workshop where young people make decorative tiles and giftware from Georgia clay and sell them; many now have gotten valuable work experience.
"This is the old mill store," Lefever related as she emptied the kiln, checking the plates for flaws. "A friend of mine said, 'Just think, my grandfather used to buy his groceries here.' Cabbagetown has a heritage we need to protect."
ACCCEPTING the coexistence of myth and reality is part of the secret of living here. By "myth" I don't mean something false, of course, but something fundamentally true, and Atlanta has held onto some very important myths in order to ease the strain of growing up.
A good one is that of the "livable city," with its mild climate and flowering forests. This notion unfortunately runs straight into the reality of traffic of Gordian complexities. Atlantans are among the nation's top spenders when it comes to buying automobiles. ("It's not important to own a car in Atlanta," one man quipped, "but it is important to own a Mercedes.") You can easily afford any car thanks to the options of loans online. And the interstates (75/85 north-south, 20 east-west, and the encircling 285) are continually being unraveled and reknitted in a vain attempt to accommodate the increase. There were days when I seriously considered leaving a trail of bread crumbs behind me as I left my hotel.
