Wayne State University licenses technology to new start-up, Detroit Materials, Inc.
DETROIT—The Office of the Vice President for Research at Wayne State University announced today the finalization of a license agreement with a new start-up company, Detroit Materials, Inc., for a Wayne State University patented portfolio of high-strength low-alloy steels and cast irons for demanding applications in the defense, off-highway, tooling and automotive industries.
Although there have been great advancements in the development of high-strength steel, there continues to be a need in various industries for structural components that are lighter and stronger, and have improved energy efficiencies, reduced emissions and pollution, increased safety and decreased production costs, particularly in the automotive industry.
A team of researchers led by Susil Putatunda, Ph.D., professor of chemical engineering in Wayne State University's College of Engineering, have been working to create advanced materials with high-yield strength, fracture toughness and ductility. Their efforts have led to the development of a portfolio of bainitic steels and austempered ductile irons exhibiting an excellent combination of mechanical currently only available in the form of highly alloyed and costly exotic steels.
Putatunda's research was initially funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (award number 0854962), and more recently received funding from the New Economy Initiative's (NEI) Technology Development Incubator Program aimed at accelerating feasibility studies necessary for licensing, industry partnerships and start-up opportunities. The NEI funding opened the door to a license agreement, and the birth of Detroit Materials, Inc.
The company was founded by Pedro Guillen in his role as entrepreneur-in-residence for the Detroit Technology Exchange, with direct financial and administrative support from Detroit Innovate, a new venture fund based in southeast Michigan.
Guillen, Chief Executive Officer of Detroit Materials, specializes in corporate innovation strategy and new technology commercialization. He has over 15 years of product development and innovation experience in automotive, defense, off-highway and clean energy markets. He has led engineering teams developing proof of concept technologies and demonstrator vehicles for the Department of Defense, as well as founded two successful start-ups.
"I am excited about the launch of Detroit Materials and the many opportunities that this new company will have to advance industries utilizing high strength steel," said Hilary Ratner, Ph.D., vice president for research at Wayne State University. "We have begun to reap the benefits of the changes that we've put in place in technology commercialization over the last several years, and the translation of Dr. Putatunda's research into the marketplace is just one example of the great things happening at Wayne State University."

Three Davidson County commissioners want better updates and data from the county's economic development commission.
Three Davidson County commissioners want better updates and data from the county's economic development commission.
During a goal-setting session Thursday, Davidson County Commissioner Todd Yates recommended setting up a committee, separate from the EDC, that would review jobs and economic development data. Yates said the committee, which would consist of several board members, could also receive reports from the EDC regularly.
"We need to start tracking our EDC data better, maybe on a county level," Yates said. "We need jobs desperately in this county."
The proposed committee, which was also unofficially favored by commissioners Sam Watford and Steve Jarvis, would study and analyze information to determine why projects were successful or not, Yates said.
The recommendation comes just days after Lexington-based Tarheel Plastics announced an expansion into nearby Davie County, adding 48 new jobs and investing $2.5 to $3.5 million.
Dan Scott, member manager of sales and marketing for Tarheel Plastics, said the company looked for a suitable warehouse in Davidson, Davie, Iredell and Forsyth counties. The company was looking for a location that had about 40,000 to 60,000 square feet, and most places in Davidson County either didn't meet the square footage requirement or their ceilings were too low, he said.
Scott said incentives also factored into the decision to move to Davie County.
"The incentives were all pretty much status quo," Scott said. "With the incentives from the county and state, it wouldn't have varied that much from county to county. But Davie County gave us a grant, as it relates to increased employment in the county. Obviously that was attractive to us and will help get the operation up and running."
Yates said commissioners were never approached by the EDC about offering Tarheel Plastics an incentive package. He said he learned about the project by reading about it in the newspaper.
"I don't know why they did that," Yates said. "I don't know if we had any conversations with these guys before they did that. I don't know what we could have done to have kept them from doing that, so that's why I think this committee is very important, to get a few commissioners together to meet with EDC regularly or come up with some new, innovative ideas."
The EDC was founded in 1986 to recruit and maintain "capital intensive industries," among other things, according to the group's articles of incorporation filed with the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State.
The EDC is a private non-profit group, funded by local municipalities and Davidson County government, among other sources. Davidson County budgeted about $238,000 for the EDC in the 2012-13 Fiscal Year, according to county records.
Conway Data Inc.'s New Plant Database this week ranked the Lexington-Thomasville micropolitan area third in the nation in new and expanded corporate facilities in 2012 with 18 projects.
Steve Googe, executive director of the EDC, is out of town this week on business and didn't immediately respond to email inquiries.
Commissioners usually learn about economic development projects during meetings in closed session or special presentations by the EDC, mostly conducted by Googe, said Zeb Hanner, assistant Davidson County manager. Commissioners are usually told how many jobs and what type of investment "Project A" or "Project B" intend to bring to the county, Hanner said.
Googe also usually discusses incentive options with the commissioners and if other municipalities will be involved, Hanner said.
Yates said that's not enough information.
"We need some sort of feedback when these companies are looking at Davidson County," Yates said. "Why didn't they come? Is it our education system? Is it our workforce? Give us some feedback, so we can improve them."
Davidson County Commissioners Larry Potts, Fred McClure and Don Truell were not in favor of starting a committee just yet. Countering Yates' suggestion, they recommended that Potts, who serves on the EDC's board of directors, report all relevant information back to commissioners at regular board meetings.
McClure, chairman of the board of commissioners, and Davidson County Manager Robert Hyatt also serve on the EDC board as ex-officio members, Hanner said.
"Maybe we could ask Mr. Potts on a monthly basis to give us an update on what projects they considered and what the outcomes were," McClure said. "In those instances where we know why somebody did something, maybe you could relay that information."
"A lot of that would have to be done in closed session," Potts said, adding that much of what is discussed by the EDC is confidential in its nature.
"That's fine," McClure said.
State law allows the withholding of public records about specific economic development projects, if releasing that information would "frustrate" a deal. However, that provision does not apply once a company or business makes a decision to expand — or not expand — to a location, according to G.S. 132-6.
Potts said he does not mind giving an update on EDC business, perhaps at every meeting. The board eventually agreed to hear from Potts for three months, then, if needed, revisit the idea of a committee.
Davidson County Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley, who did not take one side or the other, said he needed more time to make a decision.
In the end, Yates said his recommendation was not made to "step on anyone's toes" at the EDC, but rather to ensure the board is doing all it can.
"Every one of the commissioners today ran on the platform of doing whatever they can to provide jobs, and that's what I plan to do," Yates said.

Victoria is being "dudded" on the GST but doesn't want the tax increased.
Premier Denis Napthine says the federal budget cuts of $80 billion from schools and hospitals were a severe blow to Victoria but he ruled out pushing for a GST increase.
"We have no intention of arguing for an increase in the rate of the GST," Dr Napthine told reporters on Wednesday.
Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey said if states want more money to help cope with the new funding arrangements, "it's up to them to argue the case to change the GST".
"If they want to increase funding in their areas of responsibility then they've got to run the argument on the GST," Mr Hockey said on Wednesday.
But Dr Napthine said changing the distribution of the GST would deliver an extra $1.5 billion to the state.
"We are being robbed and dudded under the current distribution of GST," Dr Napthine said.
"It is not fair that NSW get a higher return for every dollar they put than Victoria."
Victoria has joined with other angry state leaders who are demanding an emergency meeting of the Council of Australian Governments.
Dr Napthine said the prime minister and treasurer must meet with state leaders as soon as possible to discuss the cuts.
Victorian Treasurer Michael O'Brien said the reduction in funding is unsustainable and there needs to be some fairness in the way the GST is divided between the states.
"Victoria just wants back its fair share of GST," Mr O'Brien said.
"We didn't put that extra money in so that the federal government can take money out."
Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said he did not support an increase or any changes to the GST.
"The notion that you would increase fuel tax, GP tax, tax on an X-ray, a blood test, getting a script filled and then increase the GST as well - people aren't made of money and the Liberal party need to know and understand that."

The Houston Texans face the challenge of shutting down Detroit Lions star wide receiver Calvin Johnson. They'll have to do that without their best cornerback.
NFL.com's Albert Breer reported Thursday that Johnathan Joseph has been ruled out of the Thanksgiving game with the strained hamstring he suffered during Sunday's overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Joseph described the injury as a "slight pull" this week.
For the Lions, defensive tackle Corey Williams has been ruled out with a knee injury, Breer reported. Free safety Louis Delmas (knee) will be active for Detroit after returning to practice this week, but the Lions ruled out Jeff Backus (hamstring), snapping the left tackle's third-longest consecutive games streak for an active player at 186.
Joseph's absence is no small loss for a Texans secondary that allowed Justin Blackmon to explode for seven catches for 236 yards in Week 11. Alan Ball likely will step in for Joseph across from Kareem Jackson.
Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has done a masterful job this season of masking the absence of star linebacker Brian Cushing, but pulling Joseph out of his secondary creates problems for Houston. Problems Megatron and the Lions will look to take advantage of.

I still see people who are too timid to enter SailorBee's creative contests. Given that SailorBee has specifically stated all media is welcome in this contest:
As we all know, music is what brings the characters together in Kids on the Slope, so what i'd like you all to do is design your OWN ALBUM COVER inspired by the series ~ !
Please include OBVIOUS REFERENCES from the show in your artwork, that means, if you just borrow someone else's design we'll know ~ ! <3
All media welcome ~ !!! Scan or take a picture of your artwork, or do it entirely on your computer ~ !!
There is no reason anyone should be timid about entering since Crunchyroll is giving out such fabulous prizes for all you anime fans.
I made a silly album cover borrowing other people's art and photographs:

Silly Album Cover
The kids are on a music tour learning about the roots of jazz, blues and rock. While the kids are in Memphis, Tennessee, I graciously take them to Graceland. They see the ghost of Elvis in the clouds above his magnificent mansion and flee out the Gates of Graceland. Everyone makes a wild dash into Sun Studios. The startling supernatural encounter results in a new Sun Studio album by the kids:
~~~~~Escape from Graceland~~~~~
PS: I am still trying to figure out how to program the frickin pen tools for the used pen tablet I bought off eBay to make drawing easier.

I wonder if anyone at Motorola, or any other company that does this sort of thing, actually stops to think before enabling something like this. I can't imagine that the data they're collecting is so valuable vs the PR nightmare that's ultimately going to occur when users find out about it.
I mean, are they totally oblivious to how much this sort of thing pisses people off, or do they just not care? We keep finding out about these things, the offending company gets dragged through the mud, and then we'll find out that another company is doing it sooner rather than later. Will they ever learn?

The impenetrable wall that was the Kansas City defense was breached by the Denver Broncos two weeks ago, when Peyton Manning and his cohorts ran up and down the field in a 27-17 victory.
It crumbled entirely against Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers last weekend.
Now, what was once considered among the most fearsome groups in the NFL is a wounded one – both physically and mentally – as the Broncos prepare to return to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
The Chiefs had allowed just a shade over 12 points a game during a 9-0 start, and were piling up sacks at such a rate that they were on pace to shatter the league record. But after a 41-38 loss to the Chargers that same bunch has now allowed an average of 34 points in their two defeats.
"Just like we were doing when we were winning, we need to go back and see what's up and correct it," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said, "and just keep going to work. It's not the end of the world. But we do have a sense of urgency this week to get the things corrected that we see on tape."
Things like missed tackles and blown assignments, especially in the passing game.
Manning threw for 323 yards and a touchdown without an interception at Mile High Stadium, and his offensive line never let the Chiefs lay a hand on him. Rivers gouged them even deeper, throwing for 392 yards and three touchdowns without tossing a pick.
That's more than 700 yards of passing offense in the last two games.
"We just have to hammer down," fellow Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis said. "The little things. You can't let the little things slip. You just have to put that extra focus in."
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said after reviewing the film from San Diego on Monday that he still has plenty of confidence in the defense, even after it cracked under pressure.
Kansas City had just taken the lead on a pass from Alex Smith to Dwayne Bowe with 1:22 left when it kicked the ball back to the Chargers. Rivers led his team the other direction in less than a minute, and his 26-yard touchdown pass to Seyi Ajirotutu ultimately won the game.
Of the Chargers' seven scoring drives, all but one of them took fewer than four minutes. Three of them took fewer than two minutes. The longest took all of 4 minutes, 41 seconds.
"We have to execute better," Reid said. "The short catches, long gains, you have to negate those. Good passing teams are going to catch the football. You have to tackle them at that point."
Reid also pointed to some missed opportunities, including what would have been a certain pick by Quintin Demps at the goal line earlier in the game. Demps dropped the ball, the Chargers kicked a field goal – and three points just happened to be the game's final margin.
"We had a chance again for a couple turnovers, right down the stretch," Reid said. "The ball bounces funny, so we weren't able to pick up on that."
The secondary hasn't been helped lately by a pass rush that has virtually disappeared.
After sacking Houston's Case Keenum five times on Oct. 5, the Chiefs have managed just two sacks in their last four games. One came in a win over Cleveland and the other in the waning minutes against San Diego, and that was by Berry on safety blitz.

Inter have confirmed on their official website that they have completed the signing of Ezequiel Schelotto from Atalanta for an undisclosed fee.
The Giuseppe Meazza side were keen to add some fresh blood to their squad this winter, and head coach Andrea Stramaccioni had earmarked the 23-year-old as a valuable addition to his side.
"First of all I want to thank all the Atalanta fans because they've been so good to me and my family over the years," the winger told Inter Channel after completing his move.
"I want to say goodbye to Atalanta, the team, the fans, the coach, everyone who always believed in me. But I'm glad I've joined Inter, the biggest club in the world.
"I hope to be able to give my very best for this team. I'm thrilled to be here and I've been welcomed with open arms."
Schelotto becomes Inter's fourth signing of the winter transfer window after the previous arrivals of Tommaso Rocchi, Mateo Kovacic and Zdravko Kuzmanovic.
To replace Schelotto, Atalanta have brought Marko Livaja on loan from Inter, along with Franco Brienza from Palermo.

Israel Showcases the Cutting Edge of Food and Ingredient Manufacturing
Wellness Foods editor David Feder, a Texas native and former resident of Israel, returns from a tour of the Holy Land's food and ingredient manufacturers.
China, once a sleeping tiger, seemed to awaken in the last few years to be perceived a juggernaut in the multibillion-dollar world of food processing. Then the "most favored nation" began to have its dirty laundry discovered in wave after wave of scandal. The execution of its director of the State Food and Drug Administration, Zheng Xiaoyu, (see "Heads Should Roll") hasn't stopped the run of outrages, revealed one after another. Two more Chinese officials in charge of food and drug safety have also received the death penalty for crimes such as Zheng's and others have received life sentences.
The cast of the horror ingredient contaminations Zheng and his ilk collected bribes to pass includes (according to various sources): the widely reported melanine in pet food and seafood; contaminated rice; pesticide-infested vegetables; beer laced with formaldehyde; prunes tinted with chemical dyes not approved for human consumption; frozen shrimp preserved with the carcinogen nitrofuran; mushrooms that had been sprayed with illegal and dangerous pesticides; contaminated vitamin C; and toothpaste and cough medicine tainted with the deadly solvent diethylene glycol.
According to a recent Reuters article, the $80 billion worth of imported foods reported by the U.S. International Trade Commission involve ingredients from more than 100 countries, including developing countries in Asia and Africa. It's no secret many of these locales have less than adequate control over processing, packaging and shipping conditions.
Luckily, China isn't the only Asian food and food-ingredient giant. Tiny Israel (the entire country could fit inside Lake Michigan) is geographically on the far western edge of Asia, but it is light years away in modernity. This country of fewer than 7 million is a source of the latest advancements in nutraceuticals and food-ingredient technology.
Israel has been a global tech leader for decades. Most aviation, communications and medical technology advances of the past decade have come out of this "Silicon Valley of the Middle East." And when it comes to agricultural leaps, well, Israelis are well known for making the desert bloom and turning mosquito-ridden swamps into lush forests and fertile farmland.
Working from both sides of agronomy, so to speak, Israelis developed fruits and vegetables that sip water and deliver increased nutrition, while coaxing previously barren land to accept and grow such produce. The archetype could probably be the Lycored tomato, by Lycored Industries, Be'er Sheva. It's a tomato that contains four times the amount of the powerful carotenoid antioxidant, lycopene, as is found in regular tomatoes and is grown in the blistering hot and dry Negev desert.
As the "little country that could," Israel scores high marks for security. Plants are protected by trained (usually armed) guards. Top-notch protection of proprietary information is the paradigm and nearly all personnel have been trained by the most advanced military disciplines in the world. This is because Israel requires mandatory military service for both men and women and has, per capita, the largest standing defensive army in the world. If only our own plants were protected as well!
Where China just announced the shutdown of hundreds of food processing plants -- a drop in the bucket of the thousands it has cranking out a quarter of a trillion dollars in product each year -- Israel is building or expanding its food- and ingredient-processing industry in leaps and bounds. So much so the country now is a leader in the production and supply of a diverse menu of ingredients such as fructose, glucose, starch, citric acid, minerals, antioxidants, herbal extracts, soy proteins, meat analogues and ready-to-eat vegetarian meals.
For instance, the Galam Group Ltd. (www.galam.co.il), Kibbutz Ma'anit, provides most of the fructose, glucose, and starch for Europe. Galam has grown into a global presence, with facilities in Europe, Asia and its offshoot, Enzymotec lipids (www.enzymotec.com), about to open a new facility in New Jersey.
The aforementioned Lycored (www.lycored.com) is the world leader in natural lycopene, as well as other carotenoid antioxidants. Gadot Biochemical Industries Ltd. (www.gadotbio.com), Haifa, is a major supplier of citric acid, citrate salts, phosphate salts and mineral fortifiers (such as calcium citrate, calcium phosphate, magnesium citrate and zinc citrate). It does big fructose business, too.
Two Israeli companies -- one domestic, one located in Slovenia -- have a strong lock on the rosemary antioxidant market. Rad Natural Technologies (www.rad-int.com), in the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikva, is best known for its Origanox line of rosemary, sage and melissa extracts. These provide a dual antioxidant benefit by protecting processed foods from spoilage and increasing shelf life, while also imparting the health benefits of reduced cancers and heart disease risk. The extracts are also powerful antimicrobials.
Although he sited Vitiva SI (www.vitiva.si) in Markovci in Slovenia, far away from his homeland, Israeli Ohad Cohen rapidly grew it into the largest natural rosemary extract producer in Europe. The company's different product lines, such as INOLENS, SyneROX and AquaROX, each tailored to specific uses, ranging from stabilization of carotenoids, tomato-based products and paprika oleoresins to protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidative degradation.

Host of 'Gary Calamar'
The first light young Mr. Calamar saw was on a movie screen. He was vaccinated with a phonograph needle.
Born in the shadows of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx NY, Gary first found his passions lit when his parents took him to see West Side Story. By the time A Hard Days Night and Goldfinger came out, he was hooked on the explosive combination of movies and music.
He traveled west in the early 80's, landing in Los Angeles. In need of a job that would ensure him a steady flow of promotional records and free concert tickets, Gary stepped behind a cash register and worked retail. He was managing a Licorice Pizza record store, as 12-inch vinyl records turned into 5-inch digital discs, and later moved on to Rhino Records, mixing with the customers and building up his music collection.
In the mid 90's Gary started as a volunteer at KCRW. After (literally) getting down on his knees and begging music director Chris Douridas for a radio show he was given a shot. Gary's unique brand of "adventurous pop music both timely and timeless" proved to be a hit. His show currently airs Sunday nights from 9-midnight. Through the years Gary has hosted live performances and interviews with musical greats ranging from Brian Wilson and Elmer Bernstein to Wilco and The Flaming Lips.
In 1998 Gary broke into the music supervision game and tackled the movie Varsity Blues, resulting in a #1 box office hit and a soundtrack album certified gold.
At the turn of the century, Gary, along with friend and fellow music supervisor Thomas Golubic, oversaw the music for the HBO original series Six Feet Under and were nominated for Grammy Awards for producing both volumes of the Six Feet Under soundtracks.
Never one to keep his feet on the ground, you can also hear Gary while flying the musical skies of Delta Airlines where he hosts a show for Delta Radio.
He lives in a lovely home in Los Angeles with his lovely wife and their amazing daughter.

The Afghanistan Mortality Survey (AMS) 2010, sponsored by UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the US Government, and the British Department for International Development, revealed that over the past five years, maternal and infant mortality has declined dramatically in Afghanistan. According to the research, there are "500 deaths per 100,000 live births," as compared to 2005 when 1,800 women died per every 100,000 births, according to a UN study.
Suraya Dalil, acting Minister of Health, stated, the survey "shows that our strategies on educating midwives on emergency obstetric care, on family planning have worked. However, it also tells us that there is a long way ahead of us, and we have many challenges ahead."
Despite these improvements, the survey notes that "Afghanistan remains one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a pregnant woman or a young child," with one out of every ten children dying before reaching their fifth birthday. Moreover, Afghan women are 200 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than from bombings or bullets.

Autumn In New York
Istanbul native Ferit Odman possesses a pure, sparse, sweet drumming style that is subtle in intent and thoroughly musical. Surrounding oneself with New York City ringers for a second recording might seem like a quick way to get attention, but Odman does much more than that. His arrangements, production, drumming and leadership bring the best out of these musicians, even when playing what is basically classic hard-bop styled material.
Odman's light touch and sizzling energy allow the soloist to project individuality in each song, the drummer acting as kind of a magic genie applying the proper shading and textures for each moment. That they sound like a well-oiled road band only adds to overall beauty and urgency of Autumn in New York.
Vincent Herring has never sounded better than on a lush reading of 'My Ideal.' Anthony Wonsey is equally compelling here, gracefully soloing as Odman gently stirs the soup. James Williams contributes three tracks, 'Alter Ego' and the brightly burnished 'Changing Of The Guard' which features tightly knit ensembles and scalding Latin sections and an exciting solo from Terell Stafford.

Leading From Behind The Kit
There's an immeasurable gulf between the stage and the studio that many musicians simply can't navigate. Turkish drummer Ferit Odman bridges that divide effortlessly on Nommo (Equinox 104-3; 48:55 * * * ½ ), a studio recording that channels enough live-band energy that the absence of post-solo applause comes almost as a shock. It doesn't hurt that Odman has assembled a cast of dependable veterans for the occasion; a debut record could do worse than to feature trumpeter Brian Lynch, altoist Vincent Herring and bassist Peter Washington (the line up is completed by Odman's countryman Burak Bedikyan on piano).
The leader keeps things surprising on this set of lesser-known hardbop tunes by the likes of Sonny Stitt, Jymie Merritt and Tadd Dameron. Witness the chattering, birdsong cymbals gilding the opening moments of LarryWillis' ''To Wisdom the Prize," or the steel-driving tandem he forms with Washington.

ROME — Italian President Giorgio Napolitano signaled plans to give center-left leader Matteo Renzi the formal task of trying to form a government, summoning the Florence mayor for a Monday morning meeting.
Napolitano, who as president has constitutional powers to nominate a prime minister, made his decision after consulting with the country's political parties on Saturday. At 39, Renzi is poised to become Italy's youngest prime minister after leading a revolt against his Democratic Party colleague Enrico Letta and forcing him to resign from the premiership Friday.
It may, however, take Renzi some time to assemble a cabinet team and draft a political program that would garner enough backing to win a parliamentary confidence vote.
Angelino Alfano, leader of the New Center Right, a partner in Letta's coalition, said his party had "good intentions but can't guarantee a happy ending" to Renzi's bid for power. He added that he wanted to see details of the new government's plans that would take more than 48 hours to stitch together.
The New Center Right, which broke away from Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom party late last year, also warned Renzi against trying to recruit new supporters on the left.
Letta resigned as prime minister Friday after his Democratic Party, led since December by Renzi, held an internal vote against him. His departure capped a month of complaints from business lobbies and within his fragile coalition that the government was working too slowly to repair the country's economy.

In 2001, the United States used 97,100,000,000,000,000 (that's quadrillion) Btu of all forms of energy.
That breaks down to 39 percent petroleum-based products; 24 percent natural gas; 23 percent coal; 8.2 percent nuclear; and 5.8 percent renewable energy.
Of the renewable energy forms, hydropower from rivers and lakes was No. 1, at 41 percent. But would you be surprised to know that burning of wood was No. 2, at 39 percent? And more recent data indicate that biomass has overtaken hydropower as the leading source of renewable energy.
Ethanol, biodiesel, and windpower made up only 0.21 percent of the energy consumed in the United States in 2001, but these, too, have seen significant growth. Ethanol production nearly doubled to 2.81 million gallons in 2003 and biodiesel production rose from 500,000 gallons to 20 million gallons.
With the United States as the world's dominant consumer of energy, policymakers are seeking ways to expand domestic production through development of alternative fuels and energy-saving technologies.
But it has been spit in the ocean in terms of this nation's appetite, and the United States' dependence on imported oil has increased rather than declined. This demand, combined with turmoil in the key Mideast petroleum nations, is further exacerbated by China's competition for energy to support its mushrooming industrial economy.
The report from the recent conference, "Agriculture as a Producer and Consumer of Energy," sponsored by the Farm Foundation and USDA's Office of Energy Policy and New Uses, highlights the chasm that exists between what's consumed and what can realistically be expected to be produced from alternative sources.
In 2002, U.S. farm production consumed approximately 1.7 quadrillion Btu of direct and indirect energy, about 1.7 percent of total consumption.
As a source of energy, experts say, agriculture can't be expected to meet total U.S. needs. But it can make an important difference as part of a portfolio of diverse energy sources.
This will hinge on the economics of production, distribution, and use relative to fossil fuels. Significant growth will also depend partially on government assistance. Federal subsidies for ethanol are already in place, and many states also offer incentives. That has not been the case for biodiesel, but recent legislation will help subsidize that product.
These subsidies are not without criticism from certain lawmakers and anti-agriculture groups. They conveniently overlook, though, that almost every form of fuel has had some kind of government subsidy. Lord knows how many billions in tax breaks have gone to oil companies. Without subsidies, renewable fuels would be playing against a stacked deck.
For three decades, critics have charged that it takes more energy to produce ethanol than is derived from the fuel. More efficient production has pretty much eliminated that objection, and there is the additional consideration that any extra cost would be justified in terms of increased energy independence and environmental advantages.
But ethanol would have to come from sources in addition to corn. If every single kernel of the yearly U.S. corn crop (average 10 billion bushels) were used, the ethanol produced would replace only about 14 percent of imported oil.
The challenges are many, and time's a'wasting.

Congratulations to Shannon and Dean Hale! Today, Al Roker announced that Rapunzel's Revenge is the newest pick for Al's Book Club for Kids! How exciting is that? It is wonderful to see a national media outlet embracing graphic novels this way. Hopefully, this will legitimize graphic novels for some of those parents who just don't want to believe that "comic books" are legitimate novels.
I loved Rapunzel's Revenge– check out my review of it here. More importantly, my students just ate it up. Boys and girls alike loved the book and were passing it around before school ended. They will be thrilled to hear that thanks to Al Roker, the book's publication date has been moved up and it is on sale now!

Making heads or tails of what Tomas Kaberle is worth out on the open market right now requires some sort of ancient code-breaking talisman that Nicolas Cage would try to secure in one of his popcorn movies.
But one thing that's definitely clear is that if Kaberle wants to play somewhere with a chance to win, the Bruins are probably his best option regardless of how much of a pay cut from the $4.25 million he was making they want him to take.
First, let's look at what some of the other unrestricted defensemen have gotten on the open market, with their new team, opening-night age, games played, points from last season, term and salary:
Ian White, Detroit, 27, 78 GP, 26 pts., 2 years, $5.75
James Wisniewski, Columbus, 27, 75 GP, 51 pts., 6 years, $33 million
Christian Ehrhoff, Buffalo, 29, 79 GP, 50 pts., 10 years, $40 million
Ed Jovanovski, Florida, 35, 50 GP, 14 pts., 4 years, $16.5 million
Kevin Bieksa, Vancouver, 30, 66 GP, 22 pts., 5 years, $23 million
Andrei Markov, Montreal, 32, 7 GP, 3 pts., 3 years, $17.25 million
I included Bieksa, Ehrhoff and Markov even though they signed with their respective teams prior to July 1 because those guys were really paid as though they had already hit the open market.
So where does the 33-year-0ld Kaberle, who produced 47 points in 82 games for the Bruins and Toronto last season, fit in? Well you have to take Ehrhoff's front-loaded deal out of the equation. Kaberle's younger and more productive than Jovanovski, but Florida is paying him for his shutdown ability and physicality. Kaberle's more durable than Markov. In a vacuum, Kaberle might be able to land a three- or four-year deal worth around what he made last season. However, the NHL is not a vacuum and most contending teams have allotted their cap space. Kaberle's pedestrian postseason performance, and maybe even his unwillingness to OK a trade to anywhere but Boston the last couple years, has obviously scared away would-be buyers.
There are a few teams still looking to hit the salary-cap floor, that could fit in Kaberle, but those teams probably aren't near the top of Kaberle's list of places to live.
Among available defenseman, Kaberle is probably in the top three along with Bryan McCabe and Scott Hannan, who's a defensive D-man that gets graded out a totally different way.
With leverage in their favor, the Bruins aren't likely to go more than a one- or two-year deal for around $3 million at this point. They also offer the only championship-caliber team that would definitely be interested in bringing him in.
Here's a thumbnail look at the teams — according to my detective work and use of CapGeek.com — that may be potential landing spots for Kaberle, other than the Bruins.
The only other contending team that could use Kaberle, the Habs have some cap room and six guys on defense already signed. Kaberle's skill set, though, might duplicate what the Habs already have.
The Flames have just five defensemen signed and $6 million of cap space left. Kaberle's always been an East Coast guy, so he probably wouldn't want to become a Flame.
Kaberle's brother enjoyed his best career success with the Hurricanes. But Carolina is on a budget — once it gets to the cap floor. Once the Hurricanes get RFAs Brandon Sutter and Derek Joslin signed, they'll still need to spend some more. But they'll have seven D under contract, including four making more than $2 million.
The Wild need a puck-moving replacement for the traded Brent Burns. Right now they have six D and 10 forwards signed, with three millionaires on defense. They don't have to spend too much more to get to the floor, so Kaberle would probably be too rich for their blood.
NY Islanders
The place where veterans go to make some money and play in anonymity, Long Island, of course, needs to spend a ton of cash to get to the cap floor, unless they use a bunch of bonuses that will never be reached to cheat their way into compliance. The Islanders have six D under contract, but a puck-mover like Kaberle would go a long way toward adding some punch to the New York back end as a complement to the returning Mark Streit.
It's been a great free-agent season for a number of average to slightly-above-average talents. Kaberle missed the initial boat. Putting down anchor in Boston and just being glad he's getting paid seven figures to play at the game's highest level in a hockey town might be his only chance of not getting left at the dock and avoiding floating on a sinking ship of a team.

It's like with babies when they start babbling and all the adults gather around to coo at them and then everyone starts talking wike dis, cootchie cootchie coo~ Pat Robertson gurgles, the people around him lap up his nonsensical gurgling, and then they gurgle back at him. This encourages him to gurgle more, and then eventually he becomes that toddler who thinks he's the greatest mind ever because he made up a story about how people rode dinosaurs. The playtime stories are then enshrined in a museum! The creationist museum!
That's the way I think of it, anyway.
Yes, I believe you're right.
Didn't anyone ever teach these people to ask questions?
They were taught not to ask questions.
"Shut up!"
"Because I said so!"
"My dad will come to beat you up if you don't listen to me!"

"Playground bullying or evangelicals? You decide." Not one scrap of difference that I can discern.

Exercise Wednesday: Done. Finished.
While I was busy scouring the writing corners of the Interwebs, I found the following picture.
Given the nature of the workouts I sometimes do, I completely understand the moment. Whatever this person has done, it was physically and mentally demanding. And it's over. Energy is spent, everything dumped out in the effort, a complete internal challenge, and now the tank is empty.
But what does it feel like? Is it a win? Is the unseen mouth smiling at the result? Is it a personal best, even if they didn't finish first? Or is it a loss, the ultimate effort to no effect? Is this person laying alone on the open expanse while adulation and success remain elusive, over there with the person who didn't lose?
It doesn't have to be a running race. It could be a different physical activity. Or a demanding mental activity. It could be the inevitable collapse at the end of a project, successful or not.

Disruptive patterns prevalent in the Healthcare industry
While much of the world takes rapid strides in development, we often forget that innovation, in fact, does come at a price. While almost all domains suffer from such disruptive innovation patterns, the Healthcare industry does so in a much bigger way. As such, there are numerous facts that clearly point out to the main problem. Health Management, therefore, involves taking a new approach to solve such serious issues that have been looming over our heads for quite some time, now. Will you be the one to turn around the $11 billion that's wasted by American hospitals each year? Read on and find out how!
Why is my back breaking? Find the answer!
Most of us will experience back pain some or the other times in our lives. There are different reasons for back pain and if not adhered to, it can lead to severe problems. One of the common types of pain is sciatica which is caused when the largest nerve in the body – the sciatic nerve is affected. Almost 40% of people experience sciatica. This is a large nerve extending from the lower back and down the back of each leg.
Sciatic pain may be treated through hot and cold therapies, epidural injections or medication, in cases which do not need surgery. If symptoms are not too severe, physical therapy is recommended. New Jersey sciatica treatment will help to relieve sciatic pain and prevent it from coming back. In cases which are severe, surgery is the next best option.
Fight the aging skin with serum
Every human must go through the aging process. The face is the first area that shows the sign of aging. Thus, none of us can avoid the aging process but with proper treatment, it can be delayed. Anti-aging treatments can help in delaying the aging process and is the only way to look younger even at 40 or 50 years old. Botox and botulinum injections are harsh skin treatments, but a lot of people go for it inspite of it being painful. Early aging can be saved by avoiding these harsh methods, if acted upon in time. Another name (the INCI name) for Argireline is Acetyl Hexapeptide 8.
Using the right anti aging or skin care product is the key to treating early aging. To delay and fight back the natural aging process, a combination of strong ingredients is required. For early aging treatment one such powerful and popular ingredient is Argireline. The Argireline serum is the main ingredient of many anti-aging creams and is best described as a peptide. A chain of sequence is created with different amino acids formed together. Because peptides have the ability to direct cells in the skin, as is well known, it controls the function of the cells. Moreover, natural collagen is formed inside the skin directly with the skin care product containing peptides. To stop wrinkles appearing and tightening up of the skin, collagen is a very crucial protein. The Argireline serum in particular helps in contraction of the skin. This results in less facial wrinkles.

Garcinia Cambogia – Does It Really Work?
You've no doubt heard the wild claims, but are probably left wondering if garcinia cambogia really works?
It sure does sound a little bit far fetched…just take a supplement twice a day and you will instantly lose weight…that can't be true…right?
The answer is yes and no. You see, while garcinia cambogia extract does have many benefits for losing weight and your general well being, if you are expecting it to be some kind of "miracle pill" then you will surely be left feeling disappointed.
The fact of the matter remains, that you need to follow some kind of healthy eating plan and get plenty of exercise if you want garcinia cambogia to work. Eating junk food and sitting on the couch all day just won't cut it, no matter what kind of weight loss supplement you take.
So how does garcinia cambogia work? Quite simply, it acts as an appetite suppressant, so you generally don't feel as hungry throughout the day.
Weight loss supplements are particularly helpful for people who have trouble with snacking on unhealthy treats between meal times, or who have a tendency to overeat at breakfast, lunch or dinner.
As mentioned before, don't expect miracles though. You should think of garcinia cambogia as a weight loss aid, not a miracle solution.
What kind of healthy eating plan should you follow?
In general, it is recommended that you eat 6 smaller meals during the course of the day, rather than 3 meals. This helps to boost your metabolism, so your food is digested quicker, and it becomes easier to lose weight.
Also, make sure you eat natural foods as much as possible, while staying away from heavily packaged and processed foods.
Things such as vegetables, fruits, lean meats, brown rice, potatoes, and nuts/seeds, are perfect foods for losing weight while you are taking the garcinia cambogia supplement twice a day.
What about an exercise regime?
At the end of the day, you don't need to do too much exercise in order to start seeing weight loss. Medical experts recommend between 30-45 minutes of light to moderate exercise a day. This could be as simple as hopping on the exercise bike or going for a job.
In conclusion
Garcinia cambogia does work when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. After regular use, you should start to notice a reduction in your appetite, which means you won't be spending all day resisting the urge to snack and eat bad foods.
This shop offers Garcinia Cambogia with 75% HCA with nice discount.

Did you ever have a boyfriend that even though he went off and slept with five hookers, came back and gave you the clap, stole all your drugs and money and then slept with another three hookers before dumping you, somehow, in the aftermath, it was all about HIS pain? (Quiet there at the back, Britney!)
Well, we think he's popped up on Metafilter. You'd think that the call for the ending of female genital mutilation by one of Islam's most respected theological centers would be the occasion of some back-slapping for the many thousands of little girls who won't have their clitorises hacked off with a rock. But you're ignoring the real issue here, featherbrains.
Yet again, it's all about the boys and their immensely more important pain.
"I look forward to the day when similar fatwas are made against male genital cutting. It probably won't be for a couple hundred years, but I may be wrong - cultural consciousness has been shown to undergo radical and rapid shifts in the past. Perhaps by that time, we'll have female mullahs who can add their voice without the bias of being cut themselves."
Because there's absolutely no difference between circumcision, and slicing off a clitoris, then sewing up the wound with twine. Uh-huh. Yup.

We have all seen those ghost hunting shows. They go around searching for something that isn't their and when they hear something and/or see something they claim it to be a ghost. But the shows just might be faked. Now that isn't much of a surprise considering it is meant for entertainment and not for educational purposes (although some people might watch them to learn how to catch a ghost). They can fake the EVPs, ghost sightings caught on camera, and my favorite the orbs. Most (but not all) religious people believe orbs to be little balls of light indicating a spirit but of course that's not what it is at all but rather it is just balls of dust that light can reflect off of or a bug flying through the air. They might see some mist swift by there camera and claim that to be a spirit when really its just dust.
Most haunting shows are obviously over exaggerated (like for example: A haunting) they use their spooky Halloween voice to explain what might be happening and describe it as being the most horrifying thing on this planet when in reality their isn't anything that scary going on. They have people being choked, thrown by an invisible being, scratched, etc. The show is mostly (if not all) scripted.
Now some Ghost hunting shows might look to debunk something they have heard or have seen (for example: Ghost hunters- TAPS) and some automatically assume it to be a ghost (for example: Ghost adventures).
People are so quick to believe everything these shows say is true others might question everything about these sort of shows. I want to get your opinions about this sort of thing. Why are these shows believed to have real accounts of some ghostly sighting when most of them can easily be debunked? Are the ghost hunting shows sincere? Why do most haunting shows have to tell people that "These are real people with real accounts" instead of letting the audience decide for themselves on whether its true or not.

I see the former "Sci Fi" Channel's name change as acknowledging their devolution. "Reality" shows? Wrestling?
one of the comforting parts of being an atheist is not having to be afraid in the dark, look under your bed for goblins, and knowing that haunted houses aren't really haunted. there are no ghosts. any atheist who believes in ghosts is probably not really an atheist.
Nope, the guy I know is quite atheist. But finds ghosts believable.
so he doesn't believe in God, but he believes in an afterlife? seems strange to me.
You can believe in afterimages without believing in god - so why not pull off the same feat with ghosts?
There are no spirits. Ones imaginary or ones that used to be alive and living. YOU are the spirit.
