Tottenham Hotspur and Everton prevented each other from climbing to second place in the Premier League table after an open-ended 0-0 draw at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England, on Sunday.
Tottenham had the better of the first half, with Everton creating more clear-cut chances in the second, while each team had a penalty claim rejected either side of halftime.
A head injury to Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who managed to complete the game, yielded nine minutes of stoppage-time, but neither side was able to land a knockout punch.
"The result is fair and with a bit more luck we could have gone ahead in the first half," said Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas, who revealed that Lloris had momentarily lost consciousness on the pitch. "It was a good point in the end. We could have gone second, but considering Everton's aspirations, it was important to get a point."
The point was enough to take Tottenham into the top four.
Bidding for a third consecutive league victory, Tottenham attacked the game vigorously on a bright autumnal afternoon and had their hosts on the back foot for much of the first half.
Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had to save from Sandro, Kyle Walker and Lewis Holtby, while marauding Spurs leftback Jan Vertonghen had a strong penalty appeal turned down after being clipped by Seamus Coleman.
The hosts began to enjoy more success in the second period, with Vlad Chiriches producing a superb last-ditch tackle to thwart Kevin Mirallas and substitute Ross Barkley shooting narrowly over.
In a reversal of the first-half penalty incident, Coleman was then brought to his knees by Vertonghen as he shaped to shoot inside the Spurs box, but again referee Kevin Friend remained unmoved.
Howard parried a Gylfi Sigurdsson drive at the other end, before Lloris took a heavy blow to the head after sliding out to deny Romelu Lukaku.
Despite appearing dazed, the France international refused to be substituted and he proved his reflexes had not been dulled by racing from his line to thwart Gerard Deulofeu in the 87th minute.
"It was a very level game, but what I will take from it is our character," Everton manager Roberto Martinez said. "We found a way to impose ourselves in the second half and I really enjoyed watching a game that both teams tried to win until the last seconds."
Cardiff City took the spoils in the first ever all-Welsh fixture in the 125-year history of the English top flight after winning 1-0 at home to fierce local rivals Swansea City.
Michu threatened twice for the visitors in the early stages, but Cardiff ultimately prevailed thanks to a 62nd-minute header from former Swansea centerback Steven Caulker on a rain-lashed day in the Welsh capital.
The England international's goal from a Craig Bellamy corner gave Cardiff only their second win in eight league games and had the added bonus of elevating them above Swansea to 12th place in the table.
"It's a good day all round," Cardiff manager Malky Mackay told Sky Sports. "We were playing against a really good team here today, a team that have been winning well in Europe and are a mid-table Premier League team who've been in the division for three years. So for us to come up this year and play to that standard, especially in the second half — I thought we were very dominant."
Swansea, who had goalkeeper Michel Vorm sent off in stoppage-time for bringing down substitute Fraizer Campbell, slip to 13th.

Hudson United Methodist pastor Dawn Jeffers Ramstad said establishing a dementia-friendly community is common sense.
Since December 2016, she's been helping her church do just that. The efforts are geared toward ensuring members of the church affected by dementia can continue to participate in worship.
Though the process is not overly complicated, it does make a major difference in the lives of those afflicted by dementia. A key to creating a dementia-friendly environment is to simplify hymns and prayers for the aging members of the church that are increasingly surviving major illnesses like cancer, but still suffering from diseases like dementia.
"We focus on attempting to engage everyone in the church," Jeffers Ramstad said. "We try to make sure our services are personal and participatory. Those are the parts of service that make it dementia friendly."
The church in Hudson has done things like returning the Apostle's Creed into the liturgy and shortening sermons.
"Me babbling in a sermon isn't going to help them remember how to pray," Jeffers Ramstad said. "Them singing a prayer together is what will help them pray.
"Amazingly enough, it's the same things that engage kids, too. If you do things right to engage kids, you're going to be dementia friendly too."
Walker 'valet service'
The adjustments are subtle enough for a person with dementia not to recognize the differences. According to Jeffers Ramstad, people with dementia won't be able to recognize the need for these measures.
For instance, the church is considering a "valet service" for members who have walkers. Instead of people leaving their walkers in the aisle as they sit on the end of a pew, there will be members of the church designated to offer to take the walkers to a secure parking area. During the closing hymn, the walkers will be pulled up for their elderly drivers.
Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid covers the cost of walkers which are designed to easily fold up for storage. That way they are not an inconvenience or a danger should people need to make an emergency exit.
Walkers are not unique to people with dementia, but the difference for people with dementia is that they are less likely to have the awareness to fold up their walkers for safe storage.
"We had a lady that would leave her walker out in the aisle (of the sanctuary)," Jeffers Ramstad said. "Her walker flattened, but she doesn't use it."
Which is where the walker valet comes into play.
According to St. Croix County Dementia Specialist Nancy Abrahamson, who is overseeing the process of becoming dementia friendly, people with dementia often have a fading sense of their surroundings.
"When you have dementia you lose that rational and logical ability and you function focused on yourself and from your heart and how you feel," Abrahamson said.
Understanding the necessity to be patient with people suffering from dementia is crucial, according to Abrahamson.
The church is a valuable setting for people to become aware of how they may be able to help people with dementia. Members of the church will be able to take their understanding with them back to their families, friends and places of work.
"Once people start learning about the disease, I think people are enthusiastic to learn more," said Vicki Bolton, the lay pastoral caregiver at UMC. "People are interested in seeing what they can do to help. The only resistance is that some of the people don't really understand how they can help. We've had to frame it that it does affect everyone. It could be anyone's grandpa or grandma. When we frame it in that regard, more people begin to understand why it matters."
Jeffers Ramstad said part of the process has been reiterating to people that there are various types of dementia; not all dementia is Alzheimer's.
The church has been walked through a checklist with the guidance of Abrahamson. The checklist includes creating a clutter-free area that will not overwhelm members of the church. In the area for fellowship, for instance, there are spaces next to the chairs for people to park their walkers.
Another step on the list is to engage people to prevent boredom and agitation while they are in the church. If the service does not maintain a certain level of engagement, people with dementia easily become discouraged in a church that is meant to be uplifting.
In the sanctuary, it's a little more difficult to accommodate people with dementia. As soon as a person feels their routine being taken from them, if they have dementia, they begin to resist the changes.
Sometimes change cannot be avoided.
The checklist also includes simplifying prayers so that they can be read on a single prayer card, or on a projection screen at the front of the sanctuary, which also eliminates the clutter of paper.
When changes have to be made, Jeffers Ramstad said they try to gradually make changes and, more importantly, they do not adjust the order of the service.
"Part of our tradition is to accommodate each of our generations," Jeffers Ramstad said. "At the different services, we usually have different generations for a variety of reasons. So one thing that we do, is we have different music at different services on Sundays and throughout the week."

December 27, 2006 • Posted By Paul Hayes
BBC News Online is running a report on the civil partnership ceremony between Torchwood and Doctor Who starJohn Barrowman and his long-term boyfriend Scott Gill, which took place at the St David's Hotel in Cardiff this afternoon. Barrowman, who wore a kilt for the ceremony reflecting his Scottish roots, is quoted as saying: "It feels great and I think more gay men and gay women should go ahead and do it as long as they're serious about it. It's not really recognition but it's important for people to see the normality of the entire situation and it forces people who don't agree with gay men and women ... to have to accept us. We deserve the rights like everybody else. It's been a long wait but we legitimised our relationship to each other a long time ago when we signed our mortgages together and this is just something that forces people who don't want to recognise it that they have to."

Unsaved people can experience the feeling of love, joy, peace, etc. God gave us emotions for a reason, and I understand that even we who are saved have un-sanctified emotions. Now when I worship, I experience the Lords presence (the Spirit), and I also experience joy.
How does the Spirit produce joy, for example, in us? Does he enter us and "amplify" our emotions? Does he, because he himself is joyful, allow us to see him and our souls thereby become "like him". How specifically does it work? Wouldn't there be spritual joy and human joy, and how would they compete?
Emotions and feelings are things which are common to humanity as a whole, whether believer or unbeliever. However, those emotions are not the same for both believer and unbeliever. And the reason why is that the object of their affections are not the same.
The believer's entire beingboth intellect and emotionsare focused on that which is uncreated: God and his glory. The unbeliever, by contrast, has his affections set on the things which are below: earthly things and his own glory.
So, when Paul speaks of the fruit of the Spirit what, he has in view is the result of the work of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who unites us to Jesus Christ and his redemptive work, as Paul makes clear in Galatians 5:22–24, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
The Holy Spirit makes us "belong to Christ Jesus." And as a result of that work in us, there is a difference in how we live. Christ not only redeems us from the guilt of our sin, but from its power as well. Therefore, as a result of our being in Christ by the Spirit we will love others in a way we didn't before, We will have a joy we didn't have before, and so on.
This joy is not the joy which unbelievers experience. They experience joy, but it is as a result of earthly, temporary things. Their joy is the fruit of the flesh, not the Spirit.
Just one last thought. You want to be careful to distinguish between the Holy Spirit himself and your emotions. The emotion you experience is not the Holy Spirit himself. Your emotions are still a fallible, created, and fallen aspect of your being. But they are now, by God's redeeming grace through Christ and given to you by the Spirit, directed toward God and thus are the fruit of God's grace.
I might recommend reading Jonathan Edwards' The Religious Affections and/or Charity and its Fruits.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

The Carnival of Irish Heritage & Culture goes on holiday
After twenty editions of the Carnival of Irish Heritage and Culture, I've decided to send the carnival on a little sabbatical. The 21st edition was in the works, but due to lack of publicity on my part and the busy lives of other bloggers, it neglected to get off the ground. (Apologies to you, Jennifer, Frances and Geniaus! Your stories will be highlighted in an upcoming edition.)
After going back and forth with the idea for awhile, I have decided that the carnival needs to go on a little holiday while I wait for my life to slow down a little bit. I know that it will. The wee one who is taking up much of my time now is not my first (so I know he will grow up). Since he is not my first, his siblings are also keeping my life very busy (so blogging has been placed beyond the back burner lately). I have hope that life will return to a slower pace in the very near future.
Please plan to join us when the carnival revives itself with the real 21st edition (not a false start!). While you're waiting, take some time to read some back issues of the carnival, which began back in 2007 (read its birth announcement here). Our annual St. Patrick's Day blog "parades" are a great place to get started reading. They include the largest variety of Irish heritage topics together in one edition. You can find them here, here and here.
In the meantime, I'll be doing a little housekeeping here behind the scenes of this carnival and my family history blogs and I hope you'll be working on your Irish genealogy and taking time to celebrate some Irish culture in your life!
Thanks to Stowing Away for the "on sabbatical" photograph.

Hey Lisa, I just wanted to to say thanks for all the work you've done on the carnivals so far - and sorry that I didn't get anything in for the most recent one. I'll try to do something for the November and St. Patrick's Day editions. Totally understand where you are coming from, it is difficult with a baby isn't it? (And I have just the one!) I started back at work this week so life will only get busier... Anyway, looking forward to the November Carnival!ReplyDelete
I feel guilty because I haven't taken part in the last few editions.I'll try to be ready in November!ReplyDelete

Pacific Performance Engineering Diesel Xcelerator - Diesel Power Up
Diesel power upgrades are getting extremely easy. The diesel truck has become the newest tuner car/hot rod for the 21st century, as the power-increase potential on them is amazing, and so far the Man has not yet cracked down with dictaterial regulations on the smoke belchers. Companies like Pacific Performance Engineering are taking advantage of this power potential and have engineered the diesel Xcelerator that can hold your stock vehicle program in its memory, while inputting a hyped-up program into your truck. Besides that, it doubles as a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) reader, so you no longer have to go to the dealership when a "check engine" light comes on. A modified diesel computer program can increase your power, torque, fuel economy, and fun for well under a thousand bucks. And this is no 35hp-increase snake-oil mumbo jumbo. We're talking real dyno'd power increases of 240+ lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, and fuel efficiency gains of more than 2 mpg! So why not pony up the ching for a new programmer? It's by far the cheapest and best bang for your buck you could spend on your diesel. Trust us-there's nothing like smoking (literally) a guy in a Supra or Mustang with a 1-ton truck. And you wouldn't believe how pissed they get after getting dusted by a diesel. It just feels good.
Fuel EconomyThe other absolutely beautiful thing about reprogramming the PCM with the Xcelerator is the increase in fuel economy each time we stepped up the power. We know, it would seem to not make sense since you've always been told that it takes more fuel to make more power, right? After we ramped up our Cummins diesel's PCM, we recorded the mileage and fuel consumption over the next two months, and our fuel economy actually increased! So not only were we now flying down the road and able to outhaul medium-duty trucks, but we were also doing it with better fuel economy. And by the way, these numbers were pulled from an almost brand-new six-speed manual diesel that we will later break in and which will provide us with even better fuel economy results.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) can be stored efficiently and transported long distances independently of pipeline networks – either by ship, truck or train. Over the last ten years, global demand rose annually by around 2.4 percent on average and this trend is set to continue. As an engineering and technology leader, Linde covers a large part of the entire LNG value chain from the source to the point of consumption.
Infrastructure on land plays a key role here. In the Norwegian city of Stavanger, for example, Linde built a particularly energy- efficient natural gas liquefaction plant for the company Skangass AS. The facility went on stream at the end of 2010 with an output of 300,000 tonnes of liquefied natural gas per annum. The plant design also includes the option of adding a second liquefaction train in future in order to double the facility's production capacity.
LNG plant Stavanger, Norway
Benefits from small- to medium-sized LNG plants
Small- to medium-sized natural gas liquefaction facilities like the plant in Stavanger are distribution hubs for the much-in-demand LNG. Unlike large-scale facilities, plants of this size can be located close to industrial parks and cities. They can also be planned and built to much shorter timescales. These smaller facilities are paving the way for companies to cost-effectively tap relatively small isolated reserves that previously would have been too difficult to develop. In addition to the actual liquefaction facility, these smaller plants also come with LNG storage tanks and LNG loading terminals so that the liquefied natural gas can be shipped out by tanker or truck. For LNG to be transported by ship at atmospheric pressure, it first has to be cooled to minus 162 degrees Celsius before being fed into the tanker's hold via an insulated pump system. Any LNG that evaporates during this process is recovered using special reliquefaction systems.
Patented liquefaction process
At present, natural gas meets around 25 percent of global energy demand. It also reduces carbon dioxide emissions by around 20 percent relative to crude oil. There are currently over 700small- to medium-sized natural gasliquefaction plants in the world. Linde is ideally positioned in this market and offers almost all plant components from a single source. Our patented Linde Multistage Mixed Refrigerant (LIMUM®) process is just one example of our wide-ranging technology expertise in the field of small- to medium- sized LNG plants. This innovative liquefaction process is deployed at the plant in Stavanger, where it consumes significantly less energy than conventional nitrogen expander liquefaction processes.

A Vintage Holiday Wedding at the Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania
Swapping traditional red and green for romantic pastel pinks, blues, greens and golds, Kelly Flegal (25 and a display artist) and Rob Zangrillo (24 and a graphic designer and illustrator) turned their Christmas wedding into a handcrafted, vintage affair.
Their engagement took place at a botanical garden in New Jersey. "Immediately following our proposal, we witnessed a wedding and sipped champagne from afar and watched, knowing that it soon would be us," Kelly said. Then the planning began in earnest.
For their day at the altar, the couple chose the Cairnwood Estate for the reception, having admired its classical Roman and Greek architecture and French Renaissance influences. The late-18th-century country house, with era-appropriate furnishings, was outfitted for the season with garlands and a Christmas tree; the couple added their touch with vintage ornaments, white poinsettias and handmade decorations like ribbon-tied jingle bells, which the guests used to "ring in" the marriage. The hand-designed and DIY details stayed true to the couple's creative roots: They met at Temple University's Tyler School of Art. —Allie Volpe

Whitman easily defeats Poizner
Governor: $71 million in ads proves too much for Poizner
Meg Whitman, who spent a record-smashing $71 million of her own money to sell herself as a political outsider from the corporate world who could turn California around, decisively defeated Steve Poizner on Tuesday to become the first woman in state history to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
"This gal is on a mission. ... I'm all in," the billionaire former eBay CEO declared at her lavish victory party at the Universal City Hilton in Los Angeles, where 500 supporters ate and drank amid signs declaring, "Fiscal responsibility is on the way."
Poizner, the state insurance commissioner, spent $24 million of his own money to try to win the nomination, only to be clobbered in a campaign that descended into a slugfest between the two Republicans. Statewide, turnout was believed to be about a third of all registered voters, which would rival all-time lows.
Whitman's victory sets up one of the nation's most highly anticipated general election contests - the Nov. 2 matchup with Democratic nominee Jerry Brown, the former two-term governor who has been state attorney general since 2007.
"It will be the most expensive election in California history," said political scientist Barbara O'Connor, who predicted that the challenges for both candidates will be considerable.
"The voters are grumpy," O'Connor said. "They want statewide candidates to address issues - and no one is. And those are security, safety, family, jobs and all the things that radiate off of that."
With Whitman and Senate nominee Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, Republicans head into the general election with two wealthy self-funded female candidates from the business world. They give the party hope it can end the Democrats' domination of the nation's most populous state - and in the process, complicate President Obama's re-election strategy in 2012.
Whitman, in her victory speech, went on the attack against Brown, promising him "the toughest fight he's faced in 40 years of politics," and depicting herself - in a year of anti-incumbent fervor - as a fresh face and political outsider.
"While Jerry Brown's business is politics, my business is creating good new jobs," she said. "It's time for a different style of leadership."
She added, "Failure seems to follow Jerry everywhere he goes. ... It's a record of promising much and delivering little, of saying one thing and then doing another."
Whitman, who broke all spending records in the primary and says her campaign may ultimately spend upward of $150 million, promised voters "a new beginning - not glitz, not glamour, not glibness, but guts."
Her defeated Republican opponent appeared to offer Whitman only conditional support.
"Meg Whitman began this campaign as a skeptic of our conservative ideals," Poizner said in his concession speech in Irvine. "We challenged her. And by the end, she embraced our positions.
"If Meg Whitman runs on conservative principles, she deserves our full support."
Brown sets his tone
Brown, who handily won in a Democratic field that was cleared of serious challengers months ago, immediately contrasted his low-key, thrifty campaign to the sumptuous spending of the two GOP candidates.
"We have just seen the two Republican candidates for governor stage a billionaires' demolition derby," he told supporters in Los Angeles. "They both say they want to run the state like a business, but they set a national record for excessive spending."
He cautioned that "whether in a campaign or in state government, it is time for an agenda of humility - living within our means and a decent measure of self-discipline."
"The world has changed since our entire financial system hit the wall and almost collapsed," Brown said. "The path forward must now be built on honesty, frugality and innovation."
Whitman's ability to finance her own race will mean "a tough campaign" for Brown, "but I think Democrats are well-positioned," said Democratic former state Controller Steve Westly, a leading backer of the nominee.
He said Brown, whose career in public office started in 1969 on the Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees, can raise questions about Whitman's previous disinterest in the political process, including her admitted failure to vote in many elections.
Issue vulnerability
Brown is also likely to portray Whitman, a former member of the Goldman Sachs investment banking firm's board of directors, as a contributor to the corporate excess that led to the Great Recession.
Whitman's tack to the right during the primary campaign on issues including immigration and the environment could cost her in the general election with Latinos and independents, respectively, Westly said.
Whitman adviser Rob Stutzman countered that the Republican nominee's views are well within the mainstream, and that, in any event, the issues that will trump all others with voters will be "jobs and taxes."
Political newcomer
Whitman declared her intention to enter politics just 18 months ago, and was backed by such GOP stalwarts as ex-presidential candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
She cast herself as a outsider who could take on what she called Sacramento's dysfunctional political leadership.
Whitman promised to create 2 million new jobs, cut the state's public workforce by as many as 40,000 employees, and trim what she said amounted to $15 billion a year in waste, fraud and abuse.
Poizner tried to undermine her with conservatives by pointing to past Whitman donations to Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, her earlier glowing statements of support for Obama green czar Van Jones, and her onetime backing of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
But his attacks came too late to overcome Whitman's months of campaigning and formidable organizational lead, which included hiring an army of the state's top political consultants.

Although we're in no danger of running short of our primary source of natural rubber, prices have risen dramatically over the past 10 years, contributing to rising prices for tires.
The primary producers of natural rubber are in South and Southeast Asia in countries such as Malaya and Thailand, with some production in tropical West Africa. All those are places subject to damaging seasonal monsoons and other extreme weather conditions, like the one that struck Thailand in 2011. That makes supply a little unpredictable.
Rubber has also recently become a traded commodity, leading to speculative investment, which has driven up prices.
"It's not unlike petroleum markets," says Bill Niaura, Bridgestone Americas' director of new business development. "There are price points where it begins to make economic sense to explore and drill for oil in non-traditional areas. We're now at the point in the rubber industry where it makes sense to look for alternatives."
Enter guayule
There are about 2,000 plant species producing natural rubber, but the Hevea tree is the most productive. In the history of the rubber business, only one other species, guayule, has been used in actual rubber production.
In the 1920s, the Intercontinental Rubber Co. in California produced 1,400 tons of guayule rubber after leaf blight decimated the Brazilian rubber industry.
Guayule also become a replacement for Hevea tree-produced latex rubber during World War II when Japan cut off America's Malaysian latex supplies, says Dennis T. Ray of the School of Plant Sciences, University of Arizona at Tucson. "The war ended before large-scale farming of the guayule plant began, and the project was scrapped."
Unlike the hevea tree, which grows in tropical climates, guayule grows in the arid climates of the U.S. southwest – Arizona being particularly well-suited to the plant.
Hevea is essentially the sole source of natural rubber today, but active research and development programs are underway to domesticate and commercialize guayule – two are led by tire manufacturers Bridgestone and Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.
A consortium consisting of Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., Yulex Corp., Arizona State University and the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture are working under a $6.9 million Biomass Research and Development Initiative grant from the USDA and the U.S. Department of Energy.
The BRDI is a joint effort between the USDA and the DOE to develop feedstocks for bio-fuels and bio-based products, including rubber from guayule.
The consortium members aim to harness biopolymers extracted from guayule as a replacement for petroleum-based synthetics and tropical-based natural rubber used in the manufacture of tires.
Meanwhile, Bridgestone has its own plans for a guayule research farm near Eloy, Ariz., and a research center in nearby Mesa, Ariz.
A 281-acre agricultural site in Eloy will serve as the base of its agricultural research operation, and will supply guayule for the company's process research center in nearby Mesa.
"Material-wise, guayule is the same polymer as hevea rubber, but it diversifies our supply," Niaura says. "In terms of plant biology and regionality, it's domestic to the Americas, but there are still challenges ahead. Guayule is not a commercial crop, so we have to develop the agricultural aspect as well as the process aspect."
The facility is expected to be fully operational in 2014, with trial rubber production starting in 2015.
More rubber alternatives
Scientists from the Fraunhofer Society in Germany have discovered that the milky sap of the dandelion contains raw rubber of the same quality as that found in rubber trees.
While the commercial production of dandelion rubber is still only a vision for the future, Continental AG intends to pursue this alternative source of natural rubber for tire and technical rubber applications.
Continental has been pursuing the research into dandelion rubber since 2007, and is currently working in a research consortium to explore the capabilities of the Russian dandelion species, which provides a higher yield of natural rubber than the common dandelion.
Yokohama currently uses oil from orange peels in one model of passenger car tire, says Rick Phillips, director of commercial sales at Yokohama Tire Corp. "It's an oil substitute that improves traction. It displaces some oil in just those tires at the moment, but we're looking at ways to use it in commercial tires."
Goodyear is looking at soybean oil as a way to help reduce the amount of petroleum-based oil used in tires.
"Goodyear researchers have learned via testing that using soybean oil in tires can potentially boost tread life by 10%," says Mike Manges, Goodyear's Communications manager for commercial tires. "As well, Goodyear and DuPont Industrial Biosciences are working together to develop BioIsoprene, a revolutionary bio-based alternative for petroleum-derived isoprene (synthetic rubber)."

Aeris™ typeface is a contemporary book face created by the American designer Tom Grace. It combines the proportions and rhythm of a sans serif font with the high contrasts and flexed strokes of script faces, while the open counters also ensure optimal legibility.
Tom Grace focuses on providing subtle differentiations in his cuts and, as a consequence, this font family has its own individual structure: there are A and B variants of the basic forms regular, italic, bold and bold italic, and a display version for use in titles that also comes in A and B variants.
It is advisable to use the A variant for larger font sizes, while the slightly more emphasized B variant can be recommended for smaller font sizes. Where the basic forms are to be mixed together in a work, it is important to use the corresponding A/B variants throughout as their designs have been carefully coordinated.
Aeris is available in the OpenType Pro format and thus includes a wide range of different glyphs. The font family can be used in various environments, such as books, magazines, advertisements and promotional materials, but it is also the perfect choice for printed corporate documentation.

The Facebook pages of the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and several other Major League Baseball clubs have been restored after briefly being hacked.
On the Yankees official news feed Thursday, there was a false item about Derek Jeter undergoing a sex change.
NBC New York reported the status on Thursday which was posted just before 4 p.m. on the Yankees Facebook page, which boasts nearly 6 million followers. It read: "We regret to inform our fans that Derek Jeter will miss the rest of the season with sexual reassignment surgery. He promises to come back stronger than ever in 2013 as Minnie Mantlez."
The Cubs' page contained an expletive directed at longtime Cubs fan and actor Bill Murray. The posts were removed shortly after appearing. Shortly thereafter, the Cubs issued an apology on their site. "Our Facebook account was hacked moments ago and an inappropriate message was posted on this page. We apologize if you viewed this message. The team and league are looking into this false post in cooperation with Facebook."
NBC Chicago reported that the hacker on the Chicago White Sox page endorsed Mitt Romney for president.
The hackers also infiltrated the pages of several other teams. The San Francisco Giants expressed a negative opinion of "the Chick-Fil-A guy," the Miami Marlins decided to give fans free pitbulls, the San Diego Padres posted about handicapped fans and the Washington Nationals announced their intention to go back to Montreal, according to a Deadspin report.
MLB released a statement on Thursday saying "for a brief moment today, a few MLB Club Facebook accounts were hacked and inappropriate material was briefly on display." The league also said it is working with Facebook and legal authorities to determine what happened.

There is a time which is NOW . . . and it is the "before".
The time BEFORE Skittles and Kisses get married that I want to remember. The time BEFORE Reese's and her BF graduate college. The sweet "now" time that is fleeting.
Have you ever wanted to just freeze time?
I have.
Just stop moving forward and rest in the "now".
I feel things speeding up on our way to the wedding. It's hard to stop that speeding train. I wouldn't really want to stop time, because I am excited to see what exciting new things are coming up for all of them, but just to pause for a second to capture this time . . .
the BEFORE
It is the spring BEFORE Skittles gets married. Spring break is over, every one is counting down to the end of school. And as Santa and I get our 2 mile walk in on Monday evenings, this is the scene.
We are passed on our road by Reese's BF, on his way to spend the evening with her.
Followed by Skittles and Kisses coming to hang out too. Monday has become the new "family" night. Where everyone comes and eats dinner with us. I really think it is the only night of the week when we are all together. (You can see Reese's BF walking past the pool in the background.)
I love sitting around our table, and talking to all of them. Reese's ALWAYS wants to hear the stories from when they were little. It doesn't matter how many times she has heard them. She will listen and listen for hours. It's fun to have new people to share these stories with too. But we just eat and sit and talk and laugh . . .
we are hopeful for the future
we are excited to see what God has planned
and well, maybe it's really all about the free food, LOL!
. . . but THIS is the "now" that I live in . . . that I want to remember.
Here are some more great blog hops to join!
Since this is turning out to be such a fun contest each week. Here are the rules:

Politics & Government
Atheists sue to keep 'In God We Trust' off Capitol Visitor Center
WASHINGTON — A California Republican congressman wants to do a little writing on the walls of Washington's newest federal building. If Rep. Dan Lungren gets his way, Congress will spend nearly $100,000 to engrave the words "In God We Trust" and the Pledge of Allegiance in prominent spots at the Capitol Visitor Center.
Lungren's proposal drew only a whimper of opposition last week when the House of Representatives voted 410-8 to approve it. Now, however, Lungren finds himself tussling with a national atheists and agnostics group.
The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation Inc. sued this week to stop the engraving, accusing Lungren of trying to force his religious beliefs on as many as 15 percent of all U.S. adults. That comprises "atheists, agnostics, skeptics and freethinkers, none of whom possess a belief in a god," according to the lawsuit.
"It really is a Judeo-Christian endorsement by our government, and so Lungren is wrong," said Dan Barker of Madison, Wis., a co-president of the foundation. "Lungren and others are pro-religious, and they want to actually use the machinery of government to promote their particular private religious views. That is unconstitutional, and that's what we're asking the court to decide."
The Senate has approved a similar plan introduced by Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. The congressional directive orders the Capitol architect to make the changes in the design of the $621 million center, which opened last December.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which has 13,500 members, sued in U.S. District Court in Wisconsin. It alleges that Congress is trying to make belief in God synonymous with citizenship and "discouraging nonbelief" among Americans, a contention that Lungren rejects.
Lungren said that the phrase "In God We Trust" had a long history and was consistent with the beliefs of America's founding fathers. He also said that the Declaration of Independence referred to rights given by a creator.
Lungren, a former California attorney general, said that while the proposed engravings incorporated religious references, they didn't violate the Constitution.
"What we're doing is making a specific historical reference to the beginnings of this republic," he said. "To ignore this or to forbid this statement or something like it to appear is to distort history. . . . We're not trying to change history. We're trying to enshrine history in the Capitol Visitor Center."
Barker said history was better left to others.
"It's not the job of our government and our government buildings to do that," he said. "Historians can point out that many of our founders were indeed religious. But saying 'In God We Trust' in the visitors center of the Capitol is not just some historical reference. It's actually government speaking for all of us Americans."
Barker said the foundation had been waiting for the right case to challenge "In God We Trust." He said government actions could be challenged on state-church grounds if they had specific religious agendas. In this case, he said, backers of Lungren's plan have provided "the smoking guns" by giving specific, overt religious reasons for doing the engraving.
Barker said that atheists regarded the phrase "In God We Trust" as rude, uncivil and un-American.
"Tens of millions of really good Americans don't believe in God," he said. "In fact, there's many more nonbelievers than there are Jews, and we wouldn't think of offending Jews on our national monuments. . . . Why is it wrong to offend a Jewish minority but it's not wrong to offend those of us who serve in the military and sit on juries but we don't believe in God?"
He said no hearing had been set.
Lungren is confident that a federal judge will allow the engraving to proceed.
"I never thought I'd see the day when someone would sue to stop us putting in the United States Capitol a statement of the national motto and the Pledge of Allegiance," he said. "Suggesting that the Pledge of Allegiance and the national motto is un-American in some way — talk about turning ideas on their heads."
