"adhocery . . . is a practice that need not be urged because it is the only one available to us"
In the paper published above, Gťrard Bťlanger (2002) uses the occasion of the current debates on the dilemmas posed by various proposed reforms for the governance of health care. Many of these suggest some form of demonopolization, deconcentration and decentralization, but Bťlanger argues that it is futile to try to decentralize a centralized system - it is like trying to get a cat to bark.
Bťlanger adopts Jane Jacobs's point of view (Jacobs 1992) that there is no meaningful middle ground between centralization and decentralization. They represent two different and self-contained syndromes of moral principles; they embody dominant logics that are impermeable. In Jacobs' words, any attempt at commingling can only lead to "monstrous hybrids".
Bťlanger's position - if accepted holus bolus - entails that any reasonable person or group is always forced in all circumstances to make a Manichean choice and to bet either on a decentralized or on a centralized system.
Bťlanger is aware of the starkness of the choice he proposes, and he suggests that some may well try to find ways to correct some of the most unfortunate consequences of such choices by adjustments in the management and governance structures of the system. But such flats and sharps, he contends, cannot modify the dominant logic: It would simply attenuate ever so slightly some of the malefits .
This approach, based on pure dominant logics, is both overstated and counterproductive because it fails to explain real-life situations and to provide for real-time choices that we know exist. Bťlanger dramatically underestimates the possibility that systems truly embodying multiple logics could emerge or be designed. He also fails to fully appreciate the possibility of taking advantage of the benefits of both centralization and decentralization.
In the next section, we provide a general critique of Bťlanger's argument based on our daily observation of effective mixed organizational forms both in nature and in society. In the following section, we show that "ecologies of governance" combine top-down and bottom-up logics very effectively. We use the example of VISA in the private sector and of regime-based federalism in the public sector as illustrations of effective ecologies of governance. Finally, we identify some principles of design that might help interested parties engineer an effective third option, avoiding the malefits of both hyper-centralization and hyper-decentralization.
At the centre of Bťlanger's argument is the idea that one cannot tinker with an institutional order that is fundamentally centralized with any hope of success because the "dominant logic" that inhabits any socio-technical system is overpowering. Any attempt to change the style of the socio-technical system is futile: the dominant logic will ensure that these add-ons are absorbed, integrated and transmogrified in the dominant direction.

Drugstore Dupes for MAC Eyeshadows (By easydiy)
MAC is one of the most loved and most used brands of makeup in the world, and as I'm making tutorials, even when I don't use their shades, I sometimes feel a need to reference them (e.g. "if you don't have this color, you can try something like MAC Antiqued" because I know most people around the world are able to access a MAC counter to take a look at the exact colors I'm talking about).
At the same time, I know sometimes it can get frustrating when everybody does tutorials and goes "MAC" this… "MAC" that…
If you love MAC colors but would rather not buy them, there are a lot of dupe videos around telling you where to get cheap drugstore alternatives - or drop the lemming you have for a particular color which you might already own a dupe for. Most of the videos are aimed at the an American audience with access to brands like Cover Girl and Wet n Wild and not other brands you have access to necessarily, so if you're located in other parts of the world, keep that in mind when you watch and just note to yourself to explore your local brands and drugstores more!
Other than this, enjoy this vid!

A fabulous treat! My tastebuds had a whirl-wind of a time. I am a picky eater and usually only eat pasta but the meat was so tantilizing and the cocktails were divine-i felt like i was on coppa-cobana beach! I am no celebrity but i was certainly treated like one. The bill was a pleasant surprise
izzie bailey Fri Nov 22Rated as: 5/5 -
Pretty good. Burgers tasty, fried pickles delicious, chilli cheese fries nice but too rich to just eat on their own.
Nic Sat Nov 2Rated as: 4/5 -
Revolting. We had: Fried Pickles, Chilli Cheese Fries, Bacon Cheese Burger, Dead Hippie Burger, Slaw and Chicken Wings...(1) Fried Pickles were cut so thin and coated in so much batter that it was just like eating a big stick of fried batter; all grease, no flavour, (2) Chilli Cheese Fries were actually unpleasant - tasted very SOUR (wtf?), with dry bland chilli, (3) Bacon Cheese Burger patty was tasteless and dry as was the bun, (4) Dead Hippie Burger was tasteless, (5) Slaw tasted overpoweringly of black pepper - really unpleasant, (6) Chicken wings were very, very bland despite being advertised as being covered in hot sauce.
Add to that that when the bill came, an extra £1 'voluntary' charity donation had been added to it - W-T-Actual-F?! Absolutely bizarre to add anything to the bill that someone has not even been asked about, yet alone actively agreed to. Cheeky... If they'd just asked I would have probably donated in excess of that but, given the fact they had to cheek to just add something to my bill, I asked them to remove it - which was clearly a chore for the poor poser of a waiter.
Then there's the place itself; music is way too loud to talk with your friends over your meal, the lights way too dark to the point you need to squint to see the menu, and the decor is just cheesy and cringe-worthy...would have probably been quite cool in upper-eat-side-New-York around the beginning of the 2000's but now, its just absolutely cringe - trying very hard to be cool and failing spectacularly.
I would only go here for novelty...."Have you ever wondered what it would be like to eat dinner at a squat party? - then check out Meat Liquor for that contrived squat-themed restaurant experience you've been missing!"
Owners should be embarrassed.Warren Tue Oct 8Rated as: 1/5 -
Ridiculously greasy and did not leave feeling good. With so many burger places around I wouldn't bother with this one.
katerina Sat Sep 21Rated as: 1/5 -
Nice decor and environment and the queue moved really quickly. Otherwise nothing special, we had burgers, Philli cheese steak and sides. The burger and steak were a bit tasteless, much much better burgers to be had in London. Service was really really slow, we ended up going to the bar to get our own drinks. Sides were good, good fries and onion rings. Overall, not bad but also not great, a little meh
Liz Sat Sep 14Rated as: 2/5 -
I went here yesterday with some of my friends and although the staff were lovely, we waited over twenty minutes in the queue to get inside...only to spend another ten minutes waiting inside, before being escorted to the bar for about half an hour before we were even seated. Extremely slow service! When the food did come, it was lovely, though. Our table were over charged, which took a while to sort out and contrary to some reviews here, in the entire 20 odd minutes we were waiting outside we were not offered any free food. The restaurant needs to be bigger, improve on the service, UPDATE THE ONLINE MENU, which differs in price considerably from the menu you are given at the actual restaurant...and it needs to be quieter... Other than that, the food is great!
Dee Thu Sep 12Rated as: 2/5 -
Don't believe the hype. We were disappointed with our visit after feeling so excited about finally getting a chance to go there. Really couldn't work out why it was so dark in there, or why someone felt the need to whack up the volume meaning I couldn't hear or see my date. I only give it 2 stars as the burger was tasty but not worth shouting about. Pretentious with a capital P.
Monica Thu Aug 29Rated as: 2/5 -
After the drawn-out process to eventually get to a table we enjoyed good cocktails and SO MUCH MEAT; definitely not somewhere to go if you're counting calories! Everything tasted really good but you definitely feel the fat coursing through your body as you leave, which doesn't inspire a hasty return to eat there again. Great for a one-off meal with friends.

Recipe by mmpbb
"Beautiful, buttery cookies are filled with raspberry jam and glazed to look like ribbons."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raspberry jam
These were tasty! Not sure where they got their name, as they look nothing like ribbons, but still a good cookie. Subbed blackberry jam because of a friend's preference, but I think they would have been even better with raspberry preserves. I had to add an additional Tbsp of evaporated milk to the glaze to make it thin enough to drizzle. I think this would be an excellent recipe adapted with lemon flavoring in the cookie and blueberry preserves for the filling!
Yummy! I followed the recipe to the letter except that we didn't have raspberry jam so I substituted what we had... orange marmalade. Also, our oven is overly hot so I baked for 8 minutes, filled the cookies, and then finished off with another 5 minutes of baking. The cookies came out perfectly and the marmalade filling was delicious! The yield was 3 dozen and even though there's only my wife and myself here they're already half gone one hour later! Like I said... YUMMY! Thanks for sharing!

What's happening now in the world of photography
Next time you're at a museum or an event, think before you snap a photo
As photography enthusiasts, it can be difficult to strike a balance between getting a great shot and truly experiencing the things around us. A Fairfield University study says all that picture taking may be preventing us from effectively remembering what we see, unless we do it right.
This new website allows you to intersperce beautiful images with text for compelling narratives
With the number of photo sharing sites on the web at the moment, there are quite a few ways to present your photos, but a new site called Exposure has recently left beta, and wants you to craft photo stories rather than galleries. Exposure has an incredibly simple drag and drop interface, where you upload images as either full-width photos, or as a set of up to 12 images. Between each new insert, you can add text to create a narrative flow, or to just explain what the image is.
On December 7, 1972, our view of the world was changed forever
41 years ago on Saturday, a photograph was taken that radically altered the way we saw the world. On December 7, 1972, at 5:39 a.m. EST, the crew of Apollo 17 took a photograph of the Earth. It was named "Blue Marble", and became one of the most widely distributed images ever created.
Heart-warming photos from a clever project
If you're reading this site, you agree that photography is a powerful thing, and we love to see it used to bring people happiness. Photographer Vincent Dixon, gathered 20 cancer patients who sat for a makeover. They weren't allowed to see themselves until it was completely finished. Then, he snapped a photo of the moment they opened their eyes and saw their new look. The results are awesome.
How do you spin such a heavy and expensive rig?
In May, we reported on a DIY way to do a Matrix-like "bullet time" using a GoPro and a ceiling fan motor. By spinning the GoPro around the subject at high speeds, it could be captured at all manner of angle. But engineer Mark Rober wasn't satisfied, and decided to make the rig high-speed, with help from a Phantom high speed camera, and some impressive building skills.
A century old dog book shows how far breeding has been pushed
One of the most incredible things about the widespread adoption of photography in the early 20th century is how well it allows us to compare our own times to what has gone past. A perfect example of this has been put together by the website Science of Dogs, which has culled historical images of dog breeds, and compared them to what modern specimins of that same breed look like.
A question that sounds a lot crazier than it is
First let me say this: Film is not dead. There is still a rather large contingent of passionate people using it to make amazing things. I still shoot film fairly regularly and so do other members of the Popular Photography staff.This would have been a silly question 10 years ago. Now, it seems pertinent. We'll be using the stats in an upcoming article here on the site, so be honest! And feel free to share more in the comments.
Decorate and light your home with your old camera gear
I am not a fan of kitschy camera stuff. I don't like posts about camera-shaped cakes or cameras made out of Legos (even though they're page view goldmines), but Phlite is actually pretty cool. Simply put, it's a lamp that fits into a camera's hot shoe or onto a tripod, letting you use your camera gear as decor.
This modkit permanently alters a GoPro for interchangeable lenses
As wildly popular as the GoPro is, it's inherently limited by the built-in lens. The wide-angle view is great for when you're capturing extreme sports action, but it less handy for other applications. But a Canadian company wants to get around that, and are starting production on a GoPro modification that will transform it to be able to accept the widely used C-Mount.
For once, we see as much of station as we do the view
Usually, when someone makes a timelapse from the freely available photographs from the ISS, they focus on the incredible view of the Earth. It makes sense. Not many folks get to view our home planet from afar. But David Peterson's most recent ISS timelapse compilation is just a little different — he wanted to show off the space station, too.As he explains in the YouTube description:

Kudos to Meredith for knowing that exiting the show was the right thing for her.
I wonder if Matt Lauer needs some time for that same kind of personal reflection?

(ANI): Do you fake an orgasm when you actually didn't get satisfied? Or find faults with the your husband's way of handling the kids, or pester him to find a new job? If yes, you may be making irreparable damages to your relationship.
Following is a list of nine statements compiled by Judy Ford, psychotherapist and author of Every Day Love that you should never utter to your significant other, reports the Mother Nature Network.
First comes: "Yes, I had an orgasm." (Even when you didn't. If you keep lying, he'll never know how to please you they way you want to be pleased.)
Another statement that is a strict no-no is "You're just like your father." It's nasty and belittling, says Ford.
The third forbidden statement is actually very common: "When are you going to find a new job?" If your husband is happy and productive in the job he currently has, then let him be. If you want more money for the family, there are other great options to get it. You don't want your husband to be miserable in the workplace. Chances are, he'll take his misery home and infect the rest of the family with it.
The fourth hurtful statement is: "My mother warned me you'd do this!" By saying this, you're only betraying the fact that you've held on to some negative notions that aren't even your own. If you're going to call him out for doing something you don't like, then say it. You don't need to bring your mother into the tense situation
The fifth line, which is never a good idea to say, is "Just leave it - I'll do it myself!" Just because he's doing something differently than you would doesn't mean that he's doing it wrong.
The sixth statement, which can be heart breaking, is "You always... [fill in the blank]" or "You never... [fill in the blank]"
Then seventh statement that can be a serious blow is "Do you really think those pants are flattering?" Saying so, you're insulting his looks without showing any genuine concern for his health, according to Ford.
Then eighth harsh statement is "Ugh, we're hanging out with him again?" This is an insult to your man's choice of friends.
The last but not the least is "Please watch the kids. But don't do this, take them here or forget that..." Let Dad be dad. (ANI)

Federal Update Students looking to take out subsidized federal loans for the first time will face new regulations and limits on how much they can borrow. Starting July 1, 2013 students applying for a Direct Subsidized Loan will be limited to borrowing only enough money to cover one-and-a-half times the length of their program of study. These changes are an effort to help students reduce the debt they accumulate during their college years. If a student is still in need of money, they will be limited to unsubsidized loans, scholarships, grants and student employment. The new regulations will apply only to new borrowers, so a student taking out a loan on or before June 30 will not be subject to the limitation. |

Tuberculosis (popularly known as "TB") is a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly infects the lungs, although it also can affect other organs.
When someone with untreated TB coughs or sneezes, the air is filled with droplets containing the bacteria. Inhaling these infected droplets is the usual way a person gets TB.
One of the most dreaded diseases of the 19th century, TB was the eighth leading cause of death in children 1 to 4 years of age during the 1920s. As the general standard of living and medical care improved in the United States, the incidence of TB decreased. By the 1960s, it wasn't even in the top 10 causes of death among children of any age group.
But TB is making a comeback in the United States today — particularly among the homeless, those in prison, and those rendered susceptible because of HIV infection.
In older infants and children, latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), which is the first infection with the tuberculosis bacteria, usually produces no signs or symptoms. In addition, a chest X-ray shows no signs of infection.
In most cases, only a tuberculin skin test (used to figure out if someone has been infected by the tuberculosis bacteria) is positive, indicating that the child has been infected. Children with a positive tuberculin test, even if they show no disease, will usually need to receive medication.
This primary infection usually resolves on its own as a child develops immunity over a 6- to 10-week period. But in some cases, it can progress and spread all over the lungs (called progressive tuberculosis) or to other organs. This causes signs and symptoms such as fever, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, and cough.
Another type of infection is called reactivation tuberculosis. Here, the primary infection has resolved, but the bacteria are dormant, or hibernating. When conditions become favorable (for instance, due to lowered immunity), the bacteria become active.
Tuberculosis in older kids and adults may be of this type. The most prominent symptom is a persistent fever, with sweating during the night. Fatigue and weight loss may follow. If the disease progresses and cavities form in the lungs, the person might have coughing and the production of saliva, mucus, or phlegm that may contain blood.
The prevention of TB depends on:
New cases and potentially contagious patients are identified through proper use and interpretation of the tuberculin skin test.
A vaccine called BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) is considered controversial because it isn't very effective in countries with a low incidence of TB. For this reason, BCG isn't usually given in the United States. However, it may be considered for kids emigrating to countries where TB is prevalent.
Tuberculosis is contagious when it's airborne and can be inhaled by others. In general, kids are not considered contagious, and usually get the infection from infected adults.
The incubation period (the time it takes for a person to become infected after being exposed) varies from weeks to years, depending on the individual and whether the infection is primary, progressive, or reactivation TB.
A doctor may recommend hospitalization for the initial evaluation and treatment of TB, especially if:
However, most kids with tuberculosis can be treated as outpatients and cared for at home. The treatment is usually in the form of oral medications. Rarely, three or four drugs may be prescribed. Even though treatment may require months to complete, it's vitally important that the full course of medications be taken in order for tuberculosis to be cured.
Tuberculosis is a chronic disease that can persist for years if it isn't treated.
Call the doctor if your child:

The International Monetary Fund ("IMF") defines foreign direct investment ("FDI") as a "cross-border investment" in which an investor that is "resident in one economy [has] control or a significant degree of influence on the management of an enterprise that is resident in another economy." IMF, Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual 100 (6th ed. 2009).
A clause frequently included in bilateral investment treaties ("BITs") which provides that a host state shall treat foreign and domestic enterprises equally.

World Trade Organization: Trade without Discrimination
The principle that one sovereign nation voluntarily adopts or enforces the laws of another sovereign nation out of deference, mutuality, and respect.
Unlike enforcement of judgments between states in the United States (which is governed by the Comity Clause of the Constitution), there is no Constitutional obligation on a U.S. court to recognize or enforce a foreign judgment. Neither is comity of nations embodied in international law.
The legal principle that political entities (such as states, nations, or courts from different jurisdictions) will mutually recognize each other's legislative, executive, and judicial acts. The underlying notion is that different jurisdictions will reciprocate each other's judgments out of deference, mutuality, and respect.
In Constitutional law, the Comity Clause refers to Article IV, § 2, Clause 2 of the U.S.
A clause frequently included in bilateral investment treaties ("BITs") which provides that a host state shall treat all of its trading partners equally. Under such a clause, if the host state lowers a tariff for one trading partner, it must lower it for all trading partners.
1) A harmonious agreement, especially between countries.
2) An offer to substitute a different obligation for one that was previously owed, plus the acceptance of that offer. Either of the parties involved can propose an accord. If the newly substituted obligation is actually performed, the performance is called a satisfaction. See Accord and satisfaction.
The Geneva Conventions are a series of treaties on the treatment of civilians, prisoners of war (POWs) and soldiers who are otherwise rendered hors de combat, or incapable of fighting. The first Convention was initiated by the International Committee for Relief to the Wounded (which became the International Committee for the Red Cross and Red Crescent). This convention produced a treaty designed to protect wounded and sick soldiers during wartime. The Swiss Government agreed to hold the Conventions in Geneva, and a few years later, a similar agreement to protect shipwrecked soldiers was produced. In 1949, after World War II, two new Conventions were added to the original two, and all four were ratified by a number of countries. The 1949 versions of the Conventions, along with two additional Protocols, are in force today.
Federal immigration law determines whether a person is an alien, the rights, duties, and obligations associated with being an alien in the United States, and how aliens gain residence or citizenship within the United States. It also provides the means by which certain aliens can become legally naturalized citizens with full rights of citizenship.
International trade is "the exchange of goods [or] services" "between nations." Black's Law Dictionary 285, 1529 (8th ed. 2004).
Traditionally, international law consisted of rules and principles governing the relations and dealings of nations with each other, though recently, the scope of international law has been redefined to include relations between states and individuals, and relations between international organizations. Public_international_law, concerns itself only with questions of rights between several nations or nations and the citizens or subjects of other nations. In contrast, Private_international_law deals with controversies between private persons, natural or juridical, arising out of situations having significant relationship to more than one nation. In recent years the line between public and private international law have became increasingly uncertain. Issues of private international law may also implicate issues of public international law, and many matters of private international law have substantial significance for the international community of nations.

Obama's wretchedly convoluted presidency
One definition of a pathological liar is someone who lies where the truth would serve just as well. When President Obama's uncle, Onyango Obama, was arrested in 2011 for drunk driving, the truth — that Obama had stayed with his uncle years earlier for several weeks as a Harvard law student — would have served the president just fine. No potential Obama voter would have held it against him that »

Wreckers of the world, unite
There is a disturbing undercurrent in Obama's campaign-style speech on behalf of Obamacare at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building today. Obama never credits opponents of the law with the substance of their criticism. He does not attribute decent motives or good faith opposition to them. Rather, he treats them as "wreckers" (as they were deemed in the Soviet Union) guilty of destructive thought crime: Now, we may never satisfy the »

Compiled by Jack Shepherd and Christopher Wren and published by Schuster in the annus horribilis of 1968, the book consisted of supposedly laughable quotes uttered by President Johnson. It was popular enough to go through multiple printings. My copy derives from the third printing. Despite »

My cousin's guest post about the radicalism of Bill de Blasio, New York City's new mayor, made me wonder whether de Blasio is appreciably more radical than President Obama. I don't believe he is. In 1990, de Blasio, having been inspired by the Sandinistas, stated that his goal was to bring Democratic Socialism to the United States. Stanley Kurtz has demonstrated that this almost certainly was Obama's goal at that »

Ambivalence towards America explains Obama's deal with Iran
President Obama's deal with Iran strongly favors the Iranians for the reasons stated by John and many others. Sanctions are rolled back with little hope of full revival and not much more hope of maintaining any effective sanctions regime for much longer. Meanwhile, there is no meaningful rollback of Iran's nuclear weapons program. Some aspects of it are frozen; others are allowed to proceed. As James Jay Carafano puts it, »

Obama Skips Gettysburg
Over in my Forbes.com column for this week (just posted this morning), I muse about the reasons Obama has decided to skip the observances of the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg address tomorrow, and conclude at the end that we should be grateful that he decided to skip out, despite how appalling a decision it is: Can it be that Obama has sensed a limit to his own megalomania?

Barack Obama Is a Deeply Unpopular President
Since shortly after his inauguration, President Obama has never had high approval ratings. Nevertheless, even as one failure mounted upon another, those who told pollsters they approve of his performance have been about equal to those who disapprove, and Obama somehow managed to win re-election. Only in recent days, with the Obamacare fiasco, has his overall approval rating begun to dip below 40%. Yet if we look behind those numbers, »

An uncertain fix
Yuval Levin offers a lengthy analysis of President Obama's "fix". In essence, I think Levin is saying that Obama doesn't know what the policy implications of his fix will be, but knows that the political implications of not offering it will be dire. Under these circumstances, Obama naturally decided to proceed with the fix. The president still hopes that Obamacare can eventually be implemented more or less as designed. But, »

Does Obama Have Any Idea What Is Going On In His Own Administration?
Earlier this evening, Steve asked whether President Obama is any good at politics. A fair question. Here is another: Does Obama have any idea what is going on in his own administration? When President Obama speaks off the cuff, he is often revealing, if you can penetrate his trademark incoherence. I found this riff from today's press conference to be particularly interesting: One way I — I described this to »

Fuel Cells Today: Early Market Applications and Learning Demonstrations (Text Alternative Version)
This is the text alternative transcript for the U.S. Hydrogen Program podcast titled: Fuel Cells Today: Early Market Applications and Learning Demonstrations. The media files can be accessed on the DOE Hydrogen Program Media Files page.
Sound Intro Here (music)
Welcome to The Hydrogen Report. I'm Mike Weiner.
In this episode we're going to talk about fuel cells in use today - niche markets and learning demonstrations. People talk about fuel cells as a technology of the future, but you may be surprised to learn that a fuel cell future is closer than you think. When this episode is over, we hope you'll have a better understanding of the hydrogen and fuel cell technologies you may start seeing in your community.
Music Intro
We've covered the basics of hydrogen in previous editions of The Hydrogen Report. But to quickly review, hydrogen is an energy carrier that can be produced from a variety of abundant domestic resources and used to power anything from cars and buildings to laptops and video cameras and nearly everything in between. Fuel cells convert the chemical energy in hydrogen into electricity, with water and potentially useful heat as the only byproducts. They're pollution-free and have two to three times the efficiency of traditional combustion technologies. Given these advantages, you might wonder why hydrogen and fuel cells don't supply more of our energy needs. We talked with Dr. JoAnn Milliken of the DOE Hydrogen Program to learn more.
"The high cost and low durability of automotive fuel cells — as well as hydrogen on-board a vehicle — are challenges to commercialization in the transportation sector. But for certain early-market applications such as forklifts, emergency back up power, and portable power, which are smaller systems, have less stringent cost targets, and don't require the extensive hydrogen delivery infrastructure that vehicles do, fuel cells are starting to compete with traditional technologies. Their success will provide valuable user experience and support the development of a domestic supplier base and manufacturing capability. It will also demonstrate technology viability and raise public awareness, and offer a platform for deployment into larger automotive, consumer, and industrial markets. You can think of the adoption of these early technologies as laying the foundation for a national hydrogen infrastructure."
So what are some of the products available today and what are the specific benefits they offer over traditional technologies? Let's take a closer look...
Sound Break Here (music)
The U.S. Fuel Cell Council has identified more than 50 commercially-available fuel cell products, and that number continues to grow. For portable power, there are fuel cells for video cameras, emergency communication radios, and distributed wireless sensors for data collection. Because of their higher energy density, fuel cells can power these applications in smaller and lighter packaging and offer longer run times than batteries.
Fuel cells for stationary installations like radio towers and both wired and wireless telecom sites have demonstrated great promise for the emergency backup power market. Fuel cells at military bases, police stations, universities, hospitals, and other state-owned facilities across the country also provide excellent examples of how this technology can meet critical power needs. There is perhaps no greater example than New York City's Central Park Police Station. Remember the big blackout in August 2003? New York City, Cleveland, Detroit, and dozens of other cities in the northeastern U.S. and Canada suffered from the power outage. Without electricity for major services, the normal flow of traffic and life came to a screeching halt. But the Central Park Police Station, powered by a fuel cell, was one of the few buildings that remained unaffected.
Batteries and diesel generators have traditionally provided emergency backup power, but the fuel cells entering the market today offer several key advantages over these incumbent technologies. Dr. Milliken explains:
"Compared to batteries, fuel cells offer a longer, continuous run-time and they're more durable in harsh environments. Compared to diesel generators, fuel cells have lower maintenance requirements, can be monitored remotely, and have lower emissions. Fuel cells may cost more than traditional technologies, but when considering the full life cycle, fuel cells are a practical solution for backup power at hospitals, banks, critical data collection facilities, and other facilities that need a constant, uninterrupted power supply."

Fuels cells are also emerging in another market — material handling equipment or lift trucks — the fork lifts and pallet trucks used at big plants and warehouses. Most lift trucks are powered by internal combustion engines or batteries, if used indoors.
While lead-acid batteries are a reliable and established technology, there are issues associated with voltage drop during battery discharge, downtime during exchanges, and extended cooling and charging time. Concerns over air quality are also driving users to look for alternatives to internal combustion engine-powered forklifts.
"For high-volume, 24/7, material handling operations that involve multiple shifts, fuel cells can be an attractive alternative. They provide constant power — they don't suffer performance drop-off during a shift and they can be rapidly refueled, eliminating the time needed to replace and charge batteries that can affect productivity. Hydrogen refueling can be located in areas formerly dedicated to battery charging equipment or distributed throughout a warehouse. Even with the significant capital investments, companies have calculated that fuel cell lift trucks for these high productivity operations have pay back periods of less than three years, together with their performance advantages."

In addition to these applications, some of you may have seen fuel cell vehicle and hydrogen fueling station demonstrations out on the road. One of the ultimate goals of the DOE Hydrogen Program is to enable the widespread commercialization of fuel cell vehicles. Fuel cells available today for other niche applications form the first steps toward building the hydrogen infrastructure needed for the broad adoption of fuel cell technologies. Deployment in these markets also provides valuable experience in fuel cell manufacturing, facilitates the development and adoption of codes and standards for hydrogen, and raises public awareness of the technology and its benefits.
Projects such as the DOE Hydrogen Program Learning Demonstration are validating longer-term vehicle technologies. The program currently involves the work of four industry partner teams employing fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen fueling stations to collect data in both controlled test conditions and on the open road in a variety of geographic areas and climates. Although these technologies aren't quite market ready, deployment in real world environments helps government and the industry better prepare the infrastructure and the community for the long-term success of hydrogen.

Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are beginning to enter the market and learning demonstrations are spreading to various parts of the country. As you begin to see hydrogen and fuel cells in your community, stay ahead of the curve and learn more — or Increase your H2IQ — by visiting hydrogen.energy.gov. And be sure to listen for future episodes of the Hydrogen Report.
