"We want to tell a story about the amazing things happening in our backyard," said Katie Gilligan, the museum's exhibit content developer. "We're showing the breadth of innovations, as well as the people behind them."
In laboratories throughout Cambridge, researchers are breaking ground with exciting inventions. And the Museum of Science is showcasing some of those inventions in a new permanent exhibit called "Wicked Smart: Invented in the Hub."
"We want to tell a story about the amazing things happening in our backyard," said Katie Gilligan, the museum's exhibit content developer. "We're showing the breadth of innovations, as well as the people behind them."
Visitors will see six inventions that entertain, improve the lives of people who use wheelchairs or have HIV/AIDS, and address the problem of bee colony collapse disorder. They'll hear researchers – from Harvard, MIT and independent companies – speak about how they identify problems and look for solutions.
"We want to show visitors what researchers think about when they develop new technologies, and encourage them to ask, 'How can I be innovative?" Gilligan said.
As the first new permanent exhibit in many years, "Wicked Smart" reflects the museum's commitment to fostering a new generation of scientists and engineers.
"The tools and technologies that are the stars of 'Wicked Smart' are not only groundbreaking, and beautifully designed, they are really cool," said Ioannis Miaoulis, the museum's president and director. "We hope this exhibit will inspire visitors, especially kids, to rethink the role of engineering in the world around them."
For sheer fun, the Particle Mirror is a highlight of the exhibit. Colored circles, twinkling stars, snow and other special effects move across the surface of a nearly 16-by-9-foot mirror.
On a recent day, kids – and plenty of adults – waved their arms, kicked their feet and danced around, seeing the visual impact and sound effects their movements caused.
Children repeatedly exclaimed things like "You can touch them!" and "I got one!" and "I made a snow angel!"
Digital artist and computer graphic scientist Karl Sims used an Xbox One Kinect to use data about a person's motion and depth to change the movement of the special effects.
"This is one-of-a-kind and we're really excited about it," Gilligan said. "It's a whole-body experience and engages the senses."
One of the most important inventions is the Daktari CD4 System, a portable device designed to improve treatment for people with AIDS and HIV by allowing them to quickly measure their CD4 cells, white blood cells that fight infection. After pricking their finger, people load a cartridge into a machine that looks like a cassette player and get results in 15 minutes.
As explained in a video by developer Bill Rodriguez, the device will be especially beneficial to rural Africans, who currently have to travel long distances to clinics and wait weeks for results, which makes it difficult for health professionals to make timely medication adjustments.
To get a sense of the challenges faced by developer Daktari Diagnostics, visitors manipulate tube angles and flow speeds to determine how best to separate the white blood cells from the red ones.
The Freedom Chair is another invention to make people's lives better. Developed by GRIT, a startup created by mechanical engineering students from MIT, the wheelchair, made of interchangeable bicycle parts, allows people to travel off-road to woods, fields and beaches. Visitors can sit in a model of the chair and use long levers to propel it around a circular track and over bumps.
Showcasing innovations in 3-D printers, four elegant transparent vessels are displayed under lights that create intricate patterns. Developed by the MIT Media Lab in collaboration with the Glass Lab at MIT, the G3PD 3-D printer extrudes layers of glass, a process visitors can see in a video. The hope is that creating glass large enough for building designs will eventually be possible.
The researchers who created the Robobee said they hope tiny robotic insects will one day pollinate flowers like real bees, which have experienced a disorder that causes hives to die. It's an ambitious collaboration between computer scientists and electrical and mechanical engineers, whose efforts are explained in the exhibit's Brain, Body and Colony Labs.
At one station, visitors try to get the bees to fly by manipulating variables of light, speed, compass and wobble, and at another, they play a video game to direct the bees to pollinate flowers as efficiently as possible.
"It's all about balancing the resources you have," Gilligan said. "The researchers have to fit on one tiny chip how to power, lift and direct the bee."
Currently, the robotic bees can fly, but only attached to a wire. In a video, researcher Farrell Helbling talked about the importance of perseverance and creativity in finding solutions to difficult problems. Her excitement is likely to be contagious.
"The coolest part of my job is that what I'm doing is no longer science fiction," she said.

|End of Season Soup
-Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
False springs are common here in New England. Sometime in March, you'll get a 65 degree day, quickly followed by 6-inches of snow. March and the beginning of April can seem painfully long. Bare, dead trees dotting the landscape; your grass a shade of brown straw. However, as if by magic, and overnight, the rains come. It's cold, it's dreary, but suddenly you start to see green again. It graces the trees, your lawn, and the tulips start actually revealing their party dresses in hues of yellow, red, and white.
Now, would I do it again? I definitely would. Having a constant supply of local produce all winter long was priceless. I did miss scouring the market for my own things, but it sparked my creativity to do different things with the items I was getting every (or later in the season, every-other week). That being said, I'm very much looking forward to the opening of the Newburyport Farmers' Market this weekend (details later in this post).
Along with the opening of the market, I'm happy to pass on that every Monday I'm going to be trying to help you all ease into local eating. No politics, no stigmas, just happy, local, yummy food. I'm hoping to help you stretch your dollars locally, learn how to prepare what you can find at market, and hopefully preserve some of the bounty for the long winter months. I'm so excited to help you get on this path. It's a fabulous change in your life that will not only enrich your kitchen, but your community as well. I hope you'll join me, ask questions, and join in the discussion along the way!
However, before we say good-bye to the winter, I have one more recipe to help you use up the last of those late winter/early spring vegetables. We'll nickname it "End-of-Season Soup", and you can pretty much change out the produce to whatever you have - greens, carrots, parsnips, whatever. I hope you enjoy.
White Bean, Pancetta, and Cheddar Soup
Serves: 4-6
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup pancetta, roughly chopped
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large carrots, roughly chopped
2 large parsnips, roughly chopped
1 can white kidney beans (cannellini beans), drained and rinsed well
2 cans low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 cup extra-sharp cheddar (I used Cabot Extra-Sharp), shredded
In a large dutch oven, over medium heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Once heated, add pancetta and cook until crisp. In the drippings, add onion and saute until translucent. Now, add your garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. At this point, you can add your carrots and parsnips, and cook until tender about 8-9 minutes, stirring here and there so your garlic doesn't burn. Next, pour your beans into the mix and cook for about a minute before adding your chicken broth to the mix. Finally, season with salt, pepper and dijon mustard. Lastly, add your shredded cheddar and stir until it melts into the soup. Simmer for 30 minutes so the flavors can combine.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Sophomore Sophia Yamauchi was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Athlete of the Week it was announced by the conference on Wednesday morning.
Yamauchi helped lead the Gaucho women's swimming and diving team to its fourth consecutive dual meet win last Saturday, 169-129, over visiting Cal Poly. Yamauchi won both the 100 breaststroke (1:03.19) and the 200 breast (2:16.99). She helped the 200 medley relay (1:45.50) to a first-place finish, swimming the breaststroke leg in an unofficial split of 29.02 seconds. With the meet win secured, UCSB swam its 400 free relay as an exhibition, but the Gauchos still posted the top time, touching in 3:30.64. Yamauchi anchored the relay with a split of 51.60 seconds.
Yamauchi went undefeated in individual events across the Gauchos' nine dual meets this season, which included first-place finishes in seven different events. She won the 100 breast seven times, the 200 breast on four occasions and the 100 back twice. She also had wins in the 200 back, 100 butterfly, 200 individual medley, 500 free and 400 IM. In relays, she helped the Gaucho 400 free relay and 200 medley relays to six first-place finishes each.
This is the third MPSF Athlete of the Week honor for Yamauchi this season. The Gauchos have won weekly conference honors six times this season.
UCSB will be in action next at the MPSF Championships, which will be held Feb. 15-18 at East Los Angeles College in Monterey Park, Calif.

How to compile and run Wine for Puppy
I have just finished compiling the latest Wine for Puppy and am posting this tutorial for anyone who might want to give it a shot themselves. Wine is a very large and complicated program and is not really suited for dotpup or pupget, so for the time being compiling it yourself is your best option. Please note also that these instructione are for running Puppy from the live cd and the methods would have to change in order to apply to Puppy from usb or hd.
What you will need to get started
Puppy 1.0.5
usr_devx.sfs in the same location as your pupfile
a seperate Linux partition for the build with at least 1.5gb of free space
increase the size of your pupfile by at least 512mb (seriously!)
the latest source tarball of wine available here:
The version I used is the latest build as of this writing-Wine-20050930
Compiling Wine
Extract the wine source tarball to your Linux partition using whatever method you prefer, whether that be command line or gui. You will be building wine HERE, NOT inside pup001. Wine is too large to be built inside pup001.
Wine has a script that will automatically build and install Wine for you. Don't use it, as it will install everything in the wrong place for Puppy and won't run. The libraries would end up in /usr/local/lib and puppy is not set up to look there.
Open a terminal an change to the directory that the wine source is located in. If I had extracted it to /mnt/hda2, I'd type:
cd /mnt/hda2/wine-20050930
Now we must configure wine. Type:
./configure --prefix=/usr
--prefix=usr tells the compiler to put everything into /usr instead of /usr/local
Ordinarily with most programs the next step would be make. In the case of wine things are somewhat different. Type:
make depend
After that completes, type:
As long as that gives you no errors then Wine has compiled successfully. The last step is to install the binaries. Type:
make install
It is very important that your pupfile has been resized to accomodate Wine before you7 do this. Otherwise you will run out of room before wine is even installed all of the way. I reccomend you increase it's size by at least 512mb, which should give you enough room for wine and for some of the programs that you want to install.
Save the directory you compiled wine in. When a new version of wine comes out, you can remove the old one by typing:
make uninstall
You can then compile and install the new version.
Configuring Wine
After you have installed Wine, it must be configured before it can be used. There are several ways of doing this.
Winetools is an excellent gui tool that will automatically install many popular programs. It also has the benefit of being open source and free. Unfortunately, winetools can not be run as root. I've tried using it as Spot but there are just too many hassles.
Winesetuptk is a little TK gui that will do a basic configuration. It has the same drawbacks as winetools but very few strengths.
The best way to setup Wine in our case is by using the included tools. Run, from the command line:
The first time winecfg runs it will create a directory .wine in /root. It will also setup a fake windows drive inside .wine. It is neccessary to trick many Windows apps into thinking they are being run on a Windows machine or they will refuse to run. After these things are done you will get a neet little gui window where you can set lots of options. I'll come back to that later.
One additional step in setting up wine involves creating a config file inside .wine. You can generate one manually if you wish, but I recomend you try this one (especially if you're new to Wine):
Download it to your .wine directory and rename it to config. This is a pretty good way to get started.
Installing and running Windows software
Once you have all of this done you will want to install your first Windows program. The way to use wine to run a Windows executable is done on the command line. I will give Photoshop as an example. I have a cd with Photoshop7.0, which is mounted at /mnt/cdrom. I'll type:
wine '/mnt/cdrom/Photoshop 7.0/Setup.exe'
In this case the quotes are important, as Windows allows spaces in file and folder names. This version of Photoshop is one of the programs that has been well tested under Wine, so the installation wizard will come up and run much as it does with Windows. Some windows will pop up in wierd places, be incomplete, or possibly illegible. This is to be expected, but on the whole the installation should go smoothly.
Once installed I'd call it from the command line by typing:
wine /mnt/home/photoshop/photoshop.exe
/mnt/home/photoshop is the directory where I chose to install Photoshop under during the installation. Most programs will default to drive C under Program Files, which is in this case /root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files. However, most programs will let you decide where to put them. The command to run your program can be made into a script, making the job easier. I'd open a rox window and navigate to /root/my-applications/bin. Then right click and choose from the menu new/script. Choose a name for your script, in this case photoshop. Open the script and add the appropriate lines.
! bin sh
wine /mnt/home/photoshop
Since /root/my-applications/bin is in your path, you can now call Photoshop from the command line simply by typing:
This script can also be dragged to the desktop where you can now simply click to open it.
You may find that some programs will simply fail to open. In that case you can use the winelauncher command in place of simply wine to get a debugging output. Other programs will run, but they will run erratically or have frequent crashes. This is where winecfg comes in again. Some programs don't integrate well into your desktop (Photoshop is notorious for this). You can use winecfg to give them their own virtual windows desktop and they will then behave better. Sometimes this is enought to make a program that is crashing start to run smoothly. You will also want to make sure that the sound is set to the correct module, as wine defaults to Alsa which is not in Puppy. Another thing to try if you are having problems with a particular program is to change the version of windows that wine emulates (I know, Wine Is Not an Emulator). Some programs will not even allow you to install unless Wine reports itself as WindowsXP, wile others will run better as Windows98. If you are having problems with fonts that look messy, or don't display at all, then install the MS core fonts. I'll provide a link here once I track it down.
I recomend that you stick to programs known to work at first. Some programs that install relatively easily are Photoshop7.0, MS office (various versions), and Macromedia Dreamweaver (which won't install unless you set your Windows version to WindowsXP). Internet Explorer can be installed and it's quite handy to have it available for web development so that you can test how your pages will display in the worlds most common browser. However, it's one of the harder programs to get running.
Many will ask the question of whether it's worth it to go through all of this in order to run a few Windows apps. Just learn to use the native Linux alternatives! In most regards I agree wholeheartedly with that assumtion. However, if you can't live without some certain program then it may very well be woth it to you. In that case I'd say this. WindowsXP takes up several GB's of space on your hard drive, runs slowly in many cases, and is a huge security risk unless you patch it dailly. Compare that to 53mb for the Puppy live cd plus around 400mb for wine. You now have a rock solid Linux system that is much more difficult to exploit, will run circles around ANY version of Windows, and now has the ability to run many of the same programs.
You may prefer Puppy without Wine and for good reason, but Puppy with Wine is much nicer than Windows. Plus, Wine decreases the need for Windows promoting competition. The more people run Wine, the more MS will have to start being nice to their customers and the more they will realize that they will have to play fair. Bit by bit the Monopoly is being torn down. Plus, I get a real kick out of running Internet Explorer using a tiny Linux Distro. The cuteness factor goes up even higher.
Have fun and good luck. If you have any questions I'll try to provide some answers. Keep in mind that I'm not an expert, just persistent.

Post subject: compiling wine for Puppy
I have tried to follow your instruction to compile Wine for Puppy but failed already in the very first steps. I still get the message when trying to compile wine
# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
I understand that the compiler should be installed with Puppy if I add usr_devx.sfs to Puppu and reboot. I have added, as recommended to, it to the drive /mnt/home and rebooted the machine, but the outcome is still the same. Puppy is installed on a CF card and I wonder if this is causing the problem and the usr_devx.sfs file has to be installed in a different folder. any suggestions?
thanks Henny

Try putting the usr_devx.sfs file in the main directory of the card, not mounted as /mnt/home. Or see if it is currently resident there.
I wonder though, if how the card boots and when the filles are recognized/ how Puppy looks for them.
I just tried compiling Wine on a hard drive install and it worked fine. The compile seemed even faster than in most other distros that i have tried.
I love it when a plan comes together

I compiled Wine for the first time ever and thanks to Nathan's instructions everything went fine.
Also successfully installed and run my first 'Wine' application that I daily use in Windows, my favorite archiver and file manager 7-zip.
But after installing Wine, I noticed some weird change about free pup001 disk space. Before first Wine installation I resized pup001 to 1 GB. After Wine installation Puppy Resize PFILE utility reported that only about 28 MB free space left in /root. I uninstalled Wine with 'make uninstall' and resized pup001 to 1,5 GB. Installed Wine again. But this time Wine left even less!?...

There is a bug in the script which re-sizes the pupfile. This goes back a couple of versions and was supposedly fixed. Anyway, what happens is that occasionally the pupfile physically gets resized but then upon reboot the new size is not recognized by Puppy. According to the rxvt window you posted, your /root directory is around 700mb, but you said that you had already re-sized it to 1.5gb. This leads me to believe that this is what is going on. I had the same problem a couple of times recently trying to resize the pupfile, so I know for a fact that it's still going on.
I will do a forum search when I get the time to see if I can find out how this was resolved when it came up before. In the meantime I'd suggest backing up everything in /root as it's likely that you may need to start with a fresh pupfile.
I'm still learning myself, and recently was given some good information on how to get the size down on these binaries. I may post updated instructions at some point and I also haven't ruled out the possibility of packaging up Wine myself if I can get the size down. Right now, though, I just have too much on my plate.

usr_devx.sfs must be on the same hd as your pupfile. In the case of a USB install pup001 is on the flash card, so I believe that that is where you must place it. I don't really know for sure how this would all work with a flash setup.
Please note also that these instructione are for running Puppy from the live cd and the methods would have to change in order to apply to Puppy from usb or hd.
I'm sure there is a way to do this, even if it requires mounting the file manually. Try searching the forum archives for anything on usr_devx.sfs.
Incidentally, if you do get it compiled will there be enough room on the flash card to hold it all?

I fixed my improperly resized pupfile.
I always boot Puppy from CD.
1. Botted to Windows and renamed the old improperly resized 1,5 GB pup001 with all my programs and Wine installed on it to pup001_old.
2. Rebooted to Puppy and made fresh pup001. With Puppy Resize PFILE utility first resized it by +512M, then by +128M, then by +64M to a total size 983040 Kbytes in /root.
3. Rebooted to Windows and renamed pup001 to pup001_new.
4. Renamed pup001_old to pup001.
5. Rebooted to Puppy and in Rxvt mounted pup001_new:
mount -t ext2 -o loop /mnt/home/pup001_new /mnt/pupxxx
6. With Xfe file manager deleted all directories and files in pup001_new.
7. With Xfe file manager copied all pup001 directories and files from /root to pup001_new and dismounted pup001_new:
umount /mnt/pupxxx
8. Rebooted to Windows and renamed pup001 to pup001_old and pup001_new to pup001.
9. Rebooted to Puppy. Everything works fine.
With fullsized Slovenian OpenOffice 1.5RC4, Slovenian Firefox Deer Park 1.6a1, Fox Shutterburg, Xfe file manager, Gimp 2.06, Dillo 0.8.5, Xfprot, Smartlink modem drivers, some additional fonts, Windows/Wine 7-zip archiver and Wine installed, Puppy Resize PFILE utility sees that I have 185185 Kbytes free space left in /root, out of a total size of 983040 Kbytes, what I think is correct.
It seems that in Puppy 1.0.5 the pupfile can be properly resized only to less then 1 GB.
My computer is Windows 98/P4/256 MB RAM/80 GB HDD.
On the Main News page I founded these Barry's instructions about squashfs files like usr_devx.sfs or usr_more.sfs file:
The PC that you test this on must have a Linux swap partition, or failing that heaps of RAM, as the C/C++ compiler needs a lot of space for transient storage.
At bootup, if Puppy finds /mnt/home/usr_devx.sfs exists (same place as the pupxxx file), it gets mounted on /.usr (invisible directory) and by unionfs gets mounted on /usr. So, you can see exactly what is in usr_devx.sfs by looking in /.usr (read only). You could also copy it elsewhere to experiment with modifying it and then create another usr_devx.sfs file. Say that you have copied /.usr to /mnt/home/tmp/.usr, and edited it, then you can turn that into a squashfs file like this:
# cd /mnt/home/tmp
# cp -a /.usr ./.usr
...modify .usr...
# mksquashfs .usr usr_devx.sfs
# mv -f usr_devx.sfs ../
In case of copy Wine to usr_more.sfs file I think that it would be a problem becose the mounted usr_more.sfs file is read only.

Post subject: compiling wine on puppy
i copied the usr_devx.sfs file into / and rebooted the pc board but i am still not able to run /configure. I wonder however, if it did not mount the usr_devx.sfs file properly in the boot up. I there anyway of mounting / installing the usr_devx.sfs manually, so i can be sure that puppy has recognised it?
The CF card is rather large and hopefully should let me compile wine on it.

Much of what I mentioned above can be disregarded now unless you really want to DIY. I've gotten wine stripped down as much as possible and made an unleashed package. Most users seem to be happy with the results so far. See this thread:

Post subject: why can i use wine without compiling it first?
Now that I have read the article instructing how to compile wine, I am wondering how I am able to use wine without compiling it. I just pasted the usr devx file onto the directory where my pup file was located. Now, I can run windows apps by just typing "wine" followed by the windows exe file.

Coal in Obama's climate cross hairs
The Obama administration is preparing to draw a red line against coal pollution, with a proposal that for the first time would limit climate-changing emissions from all future power plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule, set to come out Friday morning, fulfills a key promise to President Barack Obama's environmental base — while offering a potent line of attack for Republicans in 2014. It kicks off a major effort by Obama's agencies to tackle climate change without waiting for help from Congress.
Story Continued Below
The White House-vetted proposal would impose strict pollution standards requiring future coal-burning plants to capture and store at least 40 percent their carbon emissions, according to information provided to POLITICO late Thursday.
( Also on POLITICO: Gina McCarthy defends carbon capture for future plants)
Obama's critics say the emerging technology is too expensive and amounts to a ban on building coal plants. The administration argues it has invested unprecedented amounts of money in advanced coal technology, and it's time for the industry to step up and cut down greenhouse gas pollution.
The rule is the first of two major climate regulations that EPA has in the works. A second, more sweeping draft rule due in June will take aim at carbon pollution from the nation's thousands of existing power plants — the largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Obama ordered the EPA to take the steps in his climate policy speech at Georgetown University this summer, saying that "I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing." But the agency has been headed in this direction ever since it established its first greenhouse gas regulations in 2009, including tightening fuel economy standards on cars. In 2010, EPA agreed to tackle power plants after settling a lawsuit by environmentalists.
( Also on POLITICO: West Virginia Senate race: Tennant seeks distance from Obama, coal policy)
The administration hopes the rules will bolster the United States' credibility in global climate talks that are aimed at crafting a treaty by 2015.
In her speech announcing the rule Friday morning, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy will call Obama's Georgetown speech "one of the most important speeches of his Presidency," according to excerpts of the speech obtained by POLITICO.
"Less than three months ago, President Obama stood outside in sweltering heat to unveil a new national plan to confront the growing threat of climate change," McCarthy will say, announcing that the agency is now "taking one of those important steps, with a proposal to limit carbon pollution from new power plants."
"Power plants are the single largest sources of carbon pollution," McCarthy's speech says. "New power plants – both natural gas and coal-fired – can minimize their carbon emissions by taking advantage of modern technologies. These technologies offer them a clear pathway forward today and in the long term."
( Also on POLITICO: Nick Rahall under fire ahead of rules on power plants)
Environmental groups have long been pushing Obama to take this kind of action, while Republican lawmakers and coal industry supporters have warned it would boost both energy prices and unemployment.
"The President is leading a war on coal and what that really means for Kentucky families is a war on jobs," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement late Thursday, as details of the proposal began to leak out. "And the announcement by the EPA is another back door attempt by President Obama to fulfill his long-term commitment to shut down our nation's coal mines."
Just about everyone acknowledged that the rule's fate will be decided in court — industry-backed lawsuits are inevitable.
"These limits on carbon pollution are so common sense that most Americans assume they're already in place," said League of Conservation Voters President Gene Karpinski. "Carbon pollution is already increasing rates of asthma attacks and extreme weather like floods, heat waves, and droughts nationwide. Any attempts by Congress to block implementation of these limits would go against the majority of Americans who support these common sense steps and would only benefit the country's biggest polluters."
( Also on POLITICO: What can Canada do to get Keystone approved?)
Opponents argue that the standards are unachievable, carbon capture is too expensive and the technology isn't adequate to meet Clean Air Act requirements. Setting such tight standards will "destroy, not encourage, the development" of new carbon capture projects, said Mike Duncan, CEO of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
While it won't affect existing plants, EPA's proposal would put the squeeze on coal: Any coal-burning power plant built in the future would be limited to 1,100 pounds per megawatt hour of CO2 emissions, according to McCarthy's planned speech. That means a state-of-the-art coal plant would have to employ expensive and thus-far uncommonly used technologies to capture around 40 percent of its carbon emissions.
Obama's critics say it would make building any coal plant a non-option. With scores of older coal plants expected to close in the next several years, that would be yet another hit to a coal mining industry that is hemorrhaging jobs in states like West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.The rule is already a political talking point for 2014 races in coal-heavy states like Kentucky and West Virginia.
The rule also imposes separate, slightly tighter carbon limit on new power plants fueled by natural gas. But those plants aren't expected to have trouble meeting it – the standard is set to match a top-flight natural gas plant's carbon output. Large natural gas plants would be capped at 1,000 pounds per megawatt hour of CO2. Smaller natural gas plants get a little more leeway, with an 1,100 pounds per megawatt hour limit.
The rule wouldn't affect nuclear plants or wind or solar power, which produce no greenhouse gases.

The electrical configuration of the delta-wye transformer makes it the most popular transformer connection in the world.
When it comes to making proper transformer connections, more industry professionals choose the delta-wye connection than any other 3-phase transformer connection in power distribution. Why is it so popular? You can use the secondary to provide a neutral point for supplying line-to-neutral power to serve single-phase loads and ground the neutral point for safety reasons.
The delta primary serves several useful functions. If the transformer secondary supplies large amounts of unbalanced loads, the delta primary winding provides you with a better current balance for the primary source. How can you be sure which transformer is right for your particular application? Let's look at your options.
Dry-type and liquid-filled transformers. Transformers fall into one of two categories - dry-type or liquid-filled units. In dry-type transformers, the most common cooling medium is air (some sealed dry-type transformers use nitrogen for cooling). You typically use them indoors and up to a maximum-rated voltage of 34.5kV.
You use liquid-filled transformers in medium- and high-voltage applications - especially outdoors. The liquid makes an excellent cooling medium. Now let's look at a typical transformer makeup.
Core and winding characteristics. A transformer winding and its magnetic core are the two most vital parts required for voltage transformation. The core consists of thin laminations of silicon steel, which help reduce eddy current losses. Eddy currents are induced in the core structure as a result of exposing the core to an alternating magnetic field.
Copper and aluminum are common materials used for transformer windings. Aluminum is a lighter metal, but has a higher resistivity than copper. Copper-wound transformer coils are more mechanically rigid than aluminum-wound coils, which help increase the transformer's reliability when subjected to an external fault.
Harmonics. Third harmonic currents are common in facilities that house computer, communication, and data processing loads. Ideally, the delta primary windings should trap the third harmonic current in the closed delta winding; however, a low level of third harmonic current still passes to the primary lines. The figure shows a delta-wye transformer connection where the third harmonic currents remain trapped in the primary delta winding.
Although deciding which transformer connection is right for you may seem like an easy task, take time to research your options before you buy.

PA wreck sends one to hospital
Police say an elderly man caused an accident in Port Arthur on Monday night, Sept. 24, after he ran a stop sign, striking the vehicle of another man on his way home from work.
The victim was traveling southbound near the 1400 block of Dequeen Boulevard when police say a man in a Lincoln Town Car "blew through the stop sign and kept going" down the 2400 block of 14th Street.
Police responded at approximately 6:56 p.m. to find both vehicles totaled in the wreck, which littered the road with debris and glass.
The victim was taken away by ambulance with non-life-threatening neck and back injuries.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics:
About one in every five children in the United States is considered overweight.
The increase in overweight individuals over the past 15 years is seen in both sexes and all ages. Individuals who are obese as adolescents will most likely remain obese as they become older.
A Keiser Foundation report identifying junk food advertising as a major culprit for today's childhood obesity epidemic cited that 4.2 percent of children aged six to 11 were listed as overweight between 1963 and 1970, whereas 15.3 percent were listed as overweight between 1999 and 2000.
The National Children and Youth Fitness study, completed in 1987, found that at least half of youth do not engage in physical activity that promotes long-term health. And, less than 36 percent of elementary and secondary schools offer daily physical education classes.
I think we can safely assume that today's kids are eating too many calories and not exercising enough.
Although these statistics are astounding and frightening, they can also be seen as a business opportunity for the health and fitness industry. In response to the alarming statistics, government agencies have developed health initiatives and programs at the national level. Several states and cities have followed suit. Many hospital systems across the country have established comprehensive programs to address childhood obesity and an ever-growing number of fitness centers have recognized the need for such programs and made them a profitable part of their business.
Regardless of the specific operations of weight management programs for children, the basis of treatment for obesity in children and adolescents should involve behavior change, diet and exercise. It is important for the focus of the program to be on adopting a healthier lifestyle — not weight loss. Generally, weight loss is not recommended for young children because they are still growing and developing. Once adolescents have completed most of their rapid growth, weight reduction may be recommended.
Many hospital programs are clinical and have health professionals who may not be available at a fitness center. The key is to develop a program that is not too complex for your club's staff and budget. The SHAPEDOWN program is a great example of a successful weight management program for children and adolescents that would work well in a fitness setting (www.shapedown.com). It was developed more than 20 years ago by the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. SHAPEDOWN is by no means the only program out there, but it can serve as a model for programming, based on the following premises:
- Family-based
Not only does this provide support for the child, but it also assures that the people responsible for food shopping, scheduling and time management are involved in the process.
- Protective
The program could benefit anybody, not just the child in need.
- Preventive
It uses clinically proven diet and exercise recommendations.
- Sensitive
The whole child is addressed, rather than just the obesity.
- Effective
The program has been validated and published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association (1987 Vol. 87, No. 3).
Although individual counseling can be effective, research has shown group work to be effective for children. There is no one program that is ideal, and the length of the program, number of classes, topics and activities will vary from facility to facility — based on staff, space, budget, and so on.
Whatever your program ends up looking like, always keep in mind that you're working with children, not adults.

Assorted, versatile, beautiful. . . . .
These are incredibly versatile. Yes, it can be used as gift wrap, but there are so many other uses for a big square of cotton fabric: scarf, table topper, wallhanging, sew it into a pillow, carrying things, etc. I especially love mine as a scarf - fold in half into a triangle, loosely tie a square knot at the back of the neck, fluff a little, and voila! Note that the pattern pictured is just one of the infinite possibilities of pattern - these are assorted. I saw them displayed at the store in multiple colors and patterns. So if you're going to buy from the site, you will probably be surprised by what pattern/color arrives. If you do want to use this as gift wrap, there are lots of ways to tie it. 4 different ways are shown on the tag, but you can find videos on YouTube and books showing all kinds of artful ways to tie a Furoshiki (that's the Japanese word for this kind of fabric.) I love this item - well worth the price!

MVP Definition
Today's Lineup
Rollins, ss
Werth, rf
Utley, 2b
Howard, 1b
Burrell, lf
Victorino, cf
Feliz, 3b
Ruiz, c
Moyer, p
Charlie changed the lineup slightly last night, putting chase in the three hold in front of Ryan. It paid off big time and quick.
Ryan delivered a 3-run homer in the first and a run-scoring double in the second, right after Chase cleared the bases with a double. Joe allowed 1 earned run in 6 innings and the Phillies reduced their magic number to one.
The atmospheric conditions last night were London-like, a heavy mist, northeast wins blowing in.
J-Roll tested the winds as the first batter but his drive to center weakened because of the mist and wind.
Four batters later Ryan demonstrated his brutal strength by driving a ball in the same direction. This one landed in the Phillies bullpen. He gave a new meaning to MVP….Most Vicious Power.
The sell-out throng wasn't dampened by the dampness and they got into it real quick because of 7 runs in the first 2 innings. With rally towels in full force, the crowd chanted MVP, MVP, MVP after each of Ryan's run-scoring at-bats.
As mentioned yesterday, Frank Coppenbarger addressed the team at 3:15 in the afternoon. He was reviewing potential postseason dates and travel plans. When he was finished, Charlie blurted out sternly, "Ok, let's go, dam it. Let's go!"
They went out and got it.
This Date
In Phillies history…………
9/27/77: Phillies clinch second NL East title, 15-9, at Chicago. Winning pitcher Larry Christenson hits a grand slam homer in the 7th inning.

For a visual comparison of common Italian tomato varieties see some examples above. The San Marzano tomato was created in the region during the early 1900's from a cross between three tomato varieties already being grown: the King Umberto, Fiaschella, and the Fiascona varieties of tomato. An elongated shape, fewer seeds, and a pulp with excellent sweet flavor are traits imparted on the San Marzano tomato. Since its creation, the San Marzano tomato has been hybridized with traits like disease resistance and more even ripening while still retaining the original traits that make the San Marzano tomato so unique. With its high quality and use primarily for preserves, the San Marzano tomato has become big business in this region for growers and packers alike.
With the San Marzano tomato becoming very important to the local economy, the Italian growers have formed the Consorzio San Marzano to oversee the production and marketing of this tomato variety. Thus, the San Marzano tomato has been given DOP status by the European Union. The main argument for doing this is to protect the San Marzano tomato product from others using this name with different products. . Factories in the San Marzano region which market their products as DOP San Marzano must pay the Consorzio San Marzano to use 2 stamps on their labels; the EU's DOP stamp and the Corsorzio San Marzano stamp. These fees then contribute to the continued operation of the Consortium. At Carmelina's production facilities in the San Marzano region, they have decided to produce Carmelina's San Marzano Tomatoes without the DOP or Consorzio San Marzano stamp because the Carmelina family know the quality of the brand can compete with any DOP product. They can pass on the savings to our customers who are focused on the quality of the tomato in the can, rather than a stamp on the label. Compare Carmelina's San Marzano Tomatoes with any DOP product and you may find yourself unable to justify the extra expense of a stamp on the label.
Varieties Sold Separately.

I have a latex document which uses the mdframed package (OBS: I can successfully compile it on another system).
I installed the mdframed package (through
tlmgr install mdframed) but when I try to compile, it is still missing the xparse.sty file. I've searched it and it seems xparse.sty belongs to this
xpackage package.
tlmgr install xpackage fails with "xpackages not present in package repository"

Need I say more? A whole new season of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations begins airing on the Travel Channel tonight at 10 p.m. EST (7 p.m. HST) as he visits Laos. I'm been a huge Bourdain fan before, during, and after his visit to the islands last year. I still get chicken skin thinking about his Hawaii show. Great episode.
Fellow Bourdainians can watch all of last season's episodes on the Travel Channel today. Can you say No Reservations marathon?
And is it just me or does Oceanic Cable here in Hawaii need to get on the Travel Channel HD bandwagon? I feel like I'm getting "jipped" everytime I have go down the dial (channel 325) to watch all my favorite shows. Can you imagine watching Andrew Zimmern eating bugs and whatever he eats in HD? Awesome!
If you agree, please join me in contacting Oceanic Cable with your "demand" via its online Help Desk or by calling 808-643-2100 and let's get Travel Channel HD to our TV sets in Hawaii soon!

Congratulations to Michiel and Trinity, who each won a lotion bar from Worker B. This Minneapolis-based producer of handcrafted natural lotions and balms gave me two of their Lotion Bars (pictured above) to give away to two lucky readers. I will contact the winners by e-mail to get shipping information. Congratulations!
Drawing through Random.org, congratulations Michiel and Trinity!
In my giveaway post last week, I asked readers to share how they stay smooth during the cold, dry winters in the comments section, and got some amazing feedback. Here is what our two winners have to say, and be sure to check out all the comments for lots of great suggestions from skin scrubs to after-bath moisturizers.
Michiel says: "To stay smooth, I only shower every other day to keep from drying my skin out. Sponge bath on alternate days."
Trinity says: "I have super sensitive skin so lotion after every bath or shower is a total must for me in the cold, dry winter months. I bought a Worker B lotion bar at No Coast, but I wish I had gotten two: one for my desk at work and one for at home. I've been really happy with it so far."
How do you stay smooth during the long winters? Let's keep sharing knowledge. And don't worry - if you didn't win a lotion bar and would like to try one, you can order them online and buy them at a number of Twin Cities retail locations. Thanks for your participation!
For more information about Worker B and to shop their online store, please visit their website: www.worker-b.com.

The man-in-the-middle is a rogue program that intercepts all communication between the client and a server with which the client is attempting to communicate via SSL. The rogue program intercepts the legitimate keys that are passed back and forth during the SSL handshake, substitutes its own, and makes it appear to the client that it is the server, and to the server that it is the client.
The encrypted information exchanged at the beginning of the SSL handshake is actually encrypted with the rogue program's public key or private key, rather than the client's or server's real keys. The rogue program ends up establishing one set of session keys for use with the real server, and a different set of session keys for use with the client. This allows the rogue program not only to read all the data that flows between the client and the real server, but also to change the data without being deleted. Therefore, it is extremely important for the client to check that the domain name in the server certificate corresponds to the domain name of the server with which a client is attempting to communicate—in addition to checking the validity of the certificate by performing the other steps described in Server Authentication During SSL Handshake
