WHOI scientist Joan Bernhard and collegues from MBARI and WHOI tested whether a proposed method to sequester excess atmospheric carbon in the deep sea would damage single-celled organisms called foraminifera. Using a remotely operated vehicle, the scientists pushed cylinders into seafloor sediments more than 3,000 meters deep in Monterey Bay, Calif. and directly injected a CO2 hydrate slurry onto the sediments. They retrieved the cores after a month to determine survival of the cells. (Photo courtesy of Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) [ Hide caption ]
One proposed strategy to offset rising levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere is to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil-fuel-burning power plants and pump them into the ocean depths. Under the pressure of the deep sea, the CO2 would remain sequestered, proponents say—out of the atmosphere, out of sight, and out of mind.
But some tiny but critical denizens of the seafloor might be out of luck.
Joan Bernhard, a geobiologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and colleagues at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) investigated how one proposed geoengineering technique—direct injection of CO2—might affect deep-sea life. Below a certain depth, the gas would form a dense mixture called a hydrate. Scientists think it would remain in depressions in the seafloor, not mixing with upper water layers and returning to the atmosphere.
In experiments they conducted on the seafloor of Monterey Bay off California, they found that some organisms survived exposure to high concentrations of CO2, but others were killed.The researchers published their results in the November 2009 issue of the journal Global Change Biology.
Bernhard studies the ecology and biogeochemistry of some of the ocean's smallest inhabitants: single-celled organisms called foraminifera, which play a central role in the marine food web. The research team—Bernhard and Victoria Starczak at WHOI and MBARI colleagues James Barry and Kurt Buck—used a remotely operated deep-sea vehicle to push specially made cylinders into the seafloor mud and injected pure CO2 hydrate directly into them. After a few weeks, they also injected a fluorescent dye that labels live cells, but not dead ones.
"We found that foraminifera react [to injected CO2] in two ways—some did not appear affected in the slightest, but others are just gone," Bernhard said.
The lack of green fluorescence in some species of foraminifera that make their protective coverings (called "tests") out of calcium carbonate showed that they had not survived. But other foraminiferal species that make coverings of protein and sand still had a green glow.
The explanation? Higher concentrations of CO2 in waters make them more acidic, creating more hydrogen ions that bind with carbonates. That leaves fewer carbonates available for carbonate-forming (or "calcifying") foraminifera to make their tests.
"It's not doomsday for some species, but for others it may be," Bernhard said. "If we're serious about pumping CO2 to seafloor, we need to think about it. The seafloor is one of the biggest habitats on the planet."
Bernhard and WHOI colleagues, geochemist Dan McCorkle and postdoctoral investigator Anna McIntyre-Wressnig, have done similar experiments on foraminifera with photosynthetic symbionts living on coral reefs at shallower depths, which are also threatened by increasing CO2 levels in the ocean due to the atmospheric CO2 rise caused by human activities. They are presently analyzing that data and hope to secure more funds to conduct further studies at sites where CO2 naturally vents from the seafloor to reveal more about how the smallest sea life will cope with changing and challenging climate and ocean conditions.
The research was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

Bernhard and colleagues injected carbon dioxide hydrate directly into cylinders pushed into the seafloor to learn how the "direct injection of CO2" method of carbon sequestration would affect benthic single-celled organisms called foraminifera.

Paired microscope images of deep-sea foraminifera—species that do not secrete calcium carbonate to make their shells—reveal that some cells survived extremely high levels of CO2 directly injected over the sediments they inhabit. The image on top shows individuals seen under a microscope using transmitted light. On the bottom, after specimens are labeled with a stain, only the living specimens emit green fluorescence. In the experiment, no calcareous (calcium carbonate-forming) foraminifera survived after CO2 hydrate was injected onto the sediments in which they live.

11. When will the NASCAR HOF go out of business due to lack of interest? A: 3 years but only after the city pumps $3 million more into it.
What a lame article. This was copied and pasted from another website and pasted on the front page of the Observer site? This is NOT newsworthy.
12. Why did it take so long for EpitCenter to go belly up, especially after lying to everyone about building condos on top just to open up a bunch of copy-cat bars, drunks falling off balconies, drug charges against doormen, and lawsuits coming in every week!? Let the wrecking ball swing!
That additional $3 million will allow them to modify the NASCAR display cars to float at the also failing "National" whitewater center. White sport + white water + $3,000,000. = same failure.
why do you have the comments section set listing the oldest first? Due, that's so annoying.
The closest beach is about 3 1/2 hours away at IOP. Interesting that the White Water Center isn't included in the list of things to do. And what about all the greenways? How about the new Bechtler Museum? But do tell me where I can find all the 'historic Carolina charm' in Charlotte. And why would Concord Mills be included?
"Historic Carolina charm" is something to do? World class shopping malls?
You know I love it here, mostly because there ISN'T anything to do (i'm done done doing and don't care to do no mores). Bragging about southern charm and shopping malls as things to do just makes this area look foolish.
13. Why are there so many negative douches trolling the message boards on the observer website?
Looks like you've answered that question yourself, #13! You certainly are trolling it you pig. So far, the comments are right! Charlotte sucks.
14. What the hell is the Coffee Cup?
15. When will the light rail extend to Eastland mall?
My sister and two of her co-workers currently have pending lawsuits against BMG (EpiCenner). With everything that has been going on, they don't have a leg (or soon to be property) to stand on!
Surprised the teabagger soccer moms haven't raised hell yet about Ballantyne not getting mentioned. Who wants to visit a big plastic bubble anyway? Charlotte is in a sad state of affairs.
Looks like more people are out of a job and have nothing better to do than whine about whatever is the first link they see and click on. I mean really. Look outside.... notice something, its called sunshine. Including myself, the reason we are posting is because we are NOT enjoying Charlotte and this state. Go do something please!
16. Does Timber Ridge apartments offer secure parking for my leased BMW?
17. Are those cookies or biscuits in the median on South Blvd. near Scaleybark?
18. Is macaroni and cheese really a vegetable?
19. ARe the names of Democrat candidates actually listed on the voting ballots?
Nevermind. It dosen't matter.
Funny that the observer listed NoDa as a place of interest when it is going belly up and has been the last 2 years.If a true football fan has to ask how the panthers will do this year,they have no knowledge of football.I'm not a bills,lions,bears,raiders,49ers,jets,or cowboys fan,but i can tell you how each will do this year without having to google a website.I think some of these questions were made up by the observer.
couldn't over half of those original questions have been answered with a 30 second search on the web rather than asking them on a website? people are idiots
Is Dilworth a good neighborhood to re-enact the "The Blindside"?
My wife and I are loaded and suffer from white guilt.
Kind of dumb story. Seems like the Observer is run by idiots.
#20 - What are Charlotteans so fat? A - they sit around think the NWC is a waste of money despite never have gone out there to enjoy it or ride the mtn bike trails. The ONE thing in Charlotte that promotes a healthy lifestyle is left off the list.

#25. Only liberal males like Ryan who live in Charlotte know how to use a douche. Looking for more like minded Creative Loathing "male models".

#11 - Why are there so many idiotic posters who act like they are 12 on the Charlotte Observer's web site?
"#24. We are nationally known as one of the most corrupt liberal cities and states in the country." -- Yea, in Sim City, which is probably what you play in your mom's basement.
Is it Ed Hardy night at the epicenter?
If so I'll ware my affliction t-shirt cuz I like to be different
11) Why post an article like this on a Charlotte web site? Answer: Because it will bring out the same 5 negative trolls that post the same junk everywhere else.
Should I watch the movie Cop Out?
Why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?
Why aren't there more human interest stories on Chilly Willy in the CO?
Does eating Bojangles in your minivan on the way home from the Harris Y make you more or less fat?
I agree with a previous poster -- there is absolutely nothing to do here in Charlotte which I why I like living here. No tourism in MY backyard. When I want to do something, my favorite places are just a short drive away: Charleston, Atlanta, Savannah, Hilton Head, Jacksonville, Virginia Beach (home), Myrtle Beach. And then I come back to Charlotte for peace and quiet.
24. Is it true Chilly Willy is behind the parking lot on epicurean?

Charleston is closest to Charlotte 2:45 mins (2:15 to N. Charleston).
Why does Charlotte have a penchant for destroying the old to usher in the "new"? We have lost so many lovely, historic spots in the name of "progress"...
#42- If you drained all the hair gel out of the bank frats heads on a given Friday or Saturday night, how much would it weigh?
WOW!!!!!Where is the love for Charlotte, NC...Never knew that there was so many unhappy people in Charlotte...Could it be because a lot of people are unemployed/Not enough companies for job opportunities making real money and not $10.00/hr./A workforce that is not diversified/or could it be the lack of activities/things to do....Yep. Charlotte is truly lacking.
Charlotte (or anywhere for that matter) is what you make of it. If you whine and complain about nothing to do it's more than likely because you don't make an effort. You'd be miserable in a lot of other places too. My friends and I never have a shortage of things to do around here. Whether it's a basketball game, football game, hiking, going to the lake, seeing a concert at NCMF or Amos', a show at Oven's or Blumenthal, going to any number of restaurants around town, there are plenty of things to do for just about anyone. If you sit around and moan all day long and just put negative comments on this site from your basement, I suppose that's your own problem. Maybe it's time you took at look at yourself and see what the real 'boring thing' is.
When will the CHARLOTTE observer realize it is not based in Chapel Hill?a
You keep pipe-dreaming...You obviously have not visited other cities that much have you...
To the person who commented they want to move back to Charlotte because they love it here, I have a condo to sell you if you're interested.
Same here....my house is currently on the market....for the right$$..you can have the house and this lame city.
After the Charlotte Observer goes belly up, what will my bird p00p on?
If you don't like Charlotte leave, the highway runs both ways
Have we tried to get rid of the Witch buried under the Grade Disco?
I am a charlotte native and have lived in other cities during my career. Charlotte has growing pains just like any young city. I have personally enjoyed watching it grow. The saddest part of all is the loss of southern charm. Due to the influx of ungrateful transplants that have.moved to this city hoping that it offers the same list of activities as a city 10 times the size. Go back to where u came from. We wouldnt need the light rail or epicenter if u did not come here. In the first place. Bbq king & south 21 works for me. The Greek owners are taking home more than u snobby bankers and are even adding some character to our town.
You are an utter fool if you are from Charlotte and think the influx of others has somehow jeopardized the way of life here. Charlotte was a mill town, at best, until banking/finance got a foothold here. The life you weirdly seem to crave was one of low wages, manufacturing jobs and zero amenities other than a couple of greasy spoon restaurants. It was only when NCNB grew up and major corporations like IBM came that Charlotte saw its rise to prominence. So, be careful what you wish for. Alternatively, move to, say, Shelby, and recapture the greatness that was once Charlotte if you must.
what is the circumference of a moose?
Yes everyday we natives breath the air and just let the air linger in our lungs a little longer, just thinking that it might have nourished the brains of you Northerners who have graced and saved us from our selves.
At one time Charlotte was a low crime, low taxes, good schools, great place to raise a family place to live and the banks found all kinds of talent.
Then we had all these people who came in with ideas of making us the name your city lite with all these expensive toys and the like.
Now we see you leaving in droves and treating us like we are something on your shoe. Sorry we should have said something sooner. But you seemed so happy and you were so sad that things were so bad where you were coming from. Little did we know you would make it the same here.
Glad I moved from CLT to Greensboro. People in Greensboro are proud of their city. GSO has character, historic sites and authentic restaurants of all ethnicities rather than lauding shopping malls and late night bar/restaurants as "things to do". Just don't tell this to anyone who wants to buy my house - I need a Charlotte lover to take it off my hands - hmm maybe that's why its been on the market for a year.
When will the CHARLOTTE observer lose its bias against UNC Charlotte?
Why does the Charlotte Observer hate CMC so much?
Why does the Charlotte Observer hate UNC Charlotte so much?
Why does the Charlotte Observer hate the Charlotte and Charlotteans so much?
Why does the Charlotte Observer <3 Raleigh so much?
Oh, come on. I always get this one... "Where are you from?" Answer: "Charlotte." Next question: "Oh okay. South Carolina, right?"
I've never heard so much whining in my life. Kind of reminds me of most sports teams. A few losing years, and all of sudden you go from a great team (town) to the worst team (town) ever. Please get out more, and you'll realize that Charlotte is actually a pretty decent town, with better schools, a cleaner downtown, and less expensive homes than most U.S. metropolitan areas.
Where is downtown?
Why are you in the country 30 seconds outside of uptown on Tryon, Graham, etc? I mean barns and everything.
You have never heard so much whining?
Go to Urban Plant.
That bunch of my Condo is not worth half what I paid for it. And I only have the light rail running every thirty minutes instead of every twenty group is beyond belief.
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Dude, Clt sucks. No jobs nothing to do. Better off in Atlanta
I love these comments. The comments are always better than the articles. Hilarious! Keep 'em coming, guys!
This takes the cake...Was on the phone with a Customer Service Rep. The person asked what city was I in...I replied Charlotte? She replies...."What big city is that near?" I rest my case.
LOL @ 9:32!!!! That is hilarious.
we moved from new Jersey in 2006, we shopped and dined in NYc the best in the world.
But we give lot of thanks and credit to the Queen City, it is a beautiful place that is colorful and has a lot to offer.
We love Charlotte, and yes if you don't like move the hell out of here! this is my hometown now, and We will stand by her!!
Viva Charlotte !!!!!
Colorful? Yeah, let's go do THAT tomorrow.
#69: Lick my ballsack clean on Saturdays.
Charlotte is gaining more things to do for fun, but it is lacking compared to places like Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Atlanta. One thing to do in Charlotte is go to the airport and fly somewhere for a fun weekend trip. It's lacking fun places to go because the City controls zoning too much, keeping it a landscaped City with small pockets of corner retail shops.
#3,359: Why are african-american drivers in charlotte so inconsiderate of other drivers?
For all the people who say that hated Charlotte and moved, if the city you are in now is so great, why are you wasting time reading and posting in Charlotte?
I am 36yr. I have lived in Charlotte for 22 years. I remember when we had 2 clubs uptown and club 2000.. In 2 weeks I am moving to the Tampa area "Clearwater" Getting out of this dam khaki filled boring banker town. I will not miss a dam thing about this place. Only regret is I didn't leave sooner. people are so stuck up here. Its like high school with all the clicks. this town and its people have no soul. Last soul that left this town that was worth anything was Charles Hariston. Great place to raise a family but hell if you want to have a life
what in the h@@@@ are grits?
Why does Charlotte's downtown - or uptown - have no shopping like a department stores? Like it did 50 yrs ago, and like major cities have?
And why is Charlotte jealous of being Atlanta's baby brother? And Raleigh's poorer cousin, the poor cousin always begging Raleigh for $ it can't get to finish roads - then blames big cuz...
Why do you live in Charlotte?...Because you were a loser in your previous place of residence and wherever u go there u are lol
Q: Does Eric Frazier actually get paid more than $35,000 to write about social networking for the Observer? A: For some reason, yes.
As someone who grew up here,
Why is this town so God Dam cliquey and insecure?
Charlotte rocks
Does New York City, Los Angeles or Miami have an EPICENTRER. I didn't think so.
@12;06, what's an EPICENTRER?
And comparing Charlotte to NYC, Miami or LA is like comparing Sarah Palin to a Yale 4.0 GPA grad.
An Epicentrer is where the sophisticated go to do face plants in concrete trying to impress celebutard wanna-bees and jersey shore comformists
That is the Epicentrer of Charlotte, NC, Milky Way.
#446 Are Charlotte taxpayers going to turn Eastland Mall into a UFO landing site? It would be world-class and draw tourists, like Roswell!
#447 After the Charlotte Observer folds, how much will the owners get for the building and land downtown?
#448 When will the Charlotte Bobcats leave?
I'm going to have to agree with George Washington, Charlotte is a "Trifling place."
Charlotte use to be a great city...before the trolls moved in and decided their comments were important. Seriously, Charlotte would be better off if these unhappy souls would just leave and take their sunshine elsewhere. Bad attitude is rampant in Charlotte and so is bad taste. Charlotte is a great city with too many sad people. Where did they come from?
Thanks for the laughs. Better than the article itslf - was there one? To the 36 year old dying to get to Clearwater - buh bye!
I agree... posting at 9:32 was great.
125. Why is it if you have 2 funnel cake vendors, a lemon ice and 1 radio station tent it is called a festival and 100,000 people show up?
One of the many restaurants that went belly up. Only difference was it was a "historical" one.
They are cookies meant to feed all the homeless who hang out there.
Yes, it is. You can fimd your athletically gifted, impovershed, minority teen hanging out on a corner on Wilkinson Blvd.

Blue Jays' offense comes to life to back Buehrle
BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays knew this day would come eventually. It took a little longer than they'd hoped for, but Toronto's offense finally came to life on Sunday afternoon in a very big way.
The club broke out its power bats -- thanks to homers by Jose Bautista, Colby Rasmus and Brett Lawrie. The Blue Jays banged out 17 hits to give starter Mark Buehrle more than enough support in an 11-3 rout of the Orioles before 39,281 at Camden Yards.View Full Game Coverage
BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays knew this day would come eventually. It took a little longer than they'd hoped for, but Toronto's offense finally came to life on Sunday afternoon in a very big way.
The club broke out its power bats -- thanks to homers by Jose Bautista, Colby Rasmus and Brett Lawrie. The Blue Jays banged out 17 hits to give starter Mark Buehrle more than enough support in an 11-3 rout of the Orioles before 39,281 at Camden Yards.View Full Game Coverage
The 11 runs and 17 hits were season highs, as the Blue Jays (7-6) won two of three in this weekend series. Toronto won Friday's game, 2-0, despite getting only three hits, none of which drove in a run. The Jays, with only a .209 team batting average heading into this game, couldn't get hits at the right time during Saturday's 12-inning, 2-1 loss. But everything came together in the series finale.
"We figured it was a matter of time, and we knew it was going to happen," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "We know we have a good lineup. Brett got it going, [Edwin] Encarnacion had a nice day. It was a good all-around effort."
Toronto finished with three homers and four doubles. Seven of the team's 17 hits were for extra bases, and the Blue Jays even threw in a perfect suicide squeeze by Jonathan Diaz. They broke the game open with a five-run sixth to seize an 8-1 advantage. The Blue Jays made it an 11-1 game on Bautista's three-run shot in the eighth.
Rasmus finished 3-for-4 and was a triple shy of the cycle before coming out in the sixth inning as a precaution when his left hamstring tightened up a bit. He's now homered in two straight games and increased his average to .217, after being at only .100 after Wednesday's game.
"It feels good just to be able to help us get up on these guys and win the series," Rasmus said. "It always feels good to hit good. I just kept focusing on trying to find a different approach or make adjustments to what I needed to do and just have faith it was going to come around."
Encarnacion also went 3-for-4 and got both of his RBIs on a two-run double during the five-run sixth inning, when the Blue Jays knocked around O's starter Ubaldo Jimenez (0-3) and reliever Josh Stinson.
Adam Lind also added three hits, all singles. He scored twice and reached base five times -- via two more walks. Melky Cabrera went 2-for-6 and set a new team record for a hitting streak at the start of the season. He's now hit in all 13 games to date.
"When you're scoring runs, it takes a little pressure off everybody," Buehrle said. "We haven't had a game like that this year, so hopefully we can get the guys going."
Buehrle (3-0) gave up a run on two hits in the first inning and a double to start the second before settling down. The veteran gave up just two hits over his final six innings, mixing up pitches, as the Orioles (5-7) were often swinging early in the count.
He struck out two without a walk on just 91 pitches, improving to 3-0 with a 0.86 ERA.
"Buehrle is the type of guy you don't want to get behind on, because it really plays into his hand with the changeup," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "He's not overpowering, but he makes a living out of taking advantage of [a batter's] aggressiveness."
Rasmus hit a solo homer in the first, but the Blue Jays took the lead for good with a two-run fourth. Lind started the inning with a walk before Encarnacion ripped a shot over the bag at third. The ball zipped into foul territory near the stands, where a ball girl mistakenly grabbed it to make the play a ground-rule double and force Lind to stop at third. Lind ended up scoring on a Dioner Navarro groundout for a 2-1 lead.
Encarnacion moved to third and scored on Diaz's suicide squeeze. Diaz, who came on in the first inning after Maicer Izturis was pulled with a sprained left knee, dropped a perfect bunt toward second. Jimenez threw a high pitch, but Diaz still somehow got the bunt down to put the Blue Jays up, 3-1.
Lawrie made the score, 4-1, with a solo homer in the sixth. Rasmus later singled through a drawn-in infield to plate two runs, and Encarnacion lined a two-run double to left for a five-run inning.
"[When] you have a good day, it takes a load off," Gibbons said. "It did wonders for the pitching staff, too. We had some breathing room. It makes it easier on the coaching staff, too."

Wayne Rooney is set to launch his own football training app later this year, giving fans and aspiring footballers the chance to learn from the Manchester United striker himself.
The one on one training programme, put together in partnership with American sports brand fivestar training, will provide drills, tests and skills challenges - giving players the chance to directly compare their progress with Rooney.
Fivestar have worked with some of the biggest names in sport, helping to bring the likes of Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony through from world-class potential to world-class player.
And they've chosen Rooney, as one of the Premier League's best strikers, to be their leading global ambassador for football.
Straight after his memorable strike against Brazil at the world famous Maracana, Rooney headed back to England to film clips at Cheshire Football League club Ryland FC for the app.
Alongside sports choreographer and Rooney's co-host on Street Striker Andy Ansah, the England forward recreated some of his favourite training programmes.
The app then allows users to test themselves against Rooney, and even to challenge him one on one.
And the United star admitted his passion for the project stems from his experience growing up as a keen footballer in Liverpool.
Rooney said: "To be honest when I was young I would have loved something like this, I used to watch my heroes on the telly and have to try and remember what they did and go out and practice it.
"With the fivestar Rooney app you can take the film with you and play it over and over again until you get it right and when you do you can take me on in a one on one challenge and send me your film, now that's pretty good."
A combination of world-class training programmes and fun 'one v one' challenges, the app strikes a balance that makes it perfect for the budding professional and casual amateur alike.
Nick Blatchford, president of fivestar, said: "Football…is the most popular sport on the planet and at fivestar we want to give young boys and girls the ability to learn from one of the best in the world.
"We have, in conjunction with Wayne, devised a number of training drills, tests and 'one v one' challenges to improve all areas of their game…and even cooler their personal coach is none other than Manchester United and England star Wayne Rooney."
The app will be available in August from the Apple store, and can be downloaded on iPhones and iPads.
And as the release date draws closer, keep an eye out for a special opportunity to win a personal training session with Rooney himself.

Apple Raisin Bread Pudding Recipes
Apple Bread Pudding
This recipe calls for all the usual suspects that are found in bread pudding, namely sugar, milk, fresh or dried fruits and some dry bread cubes. I made my apple raisin bread pudding using stale bread that has been sitting on the kitchen counter. The dryness of stale bread is actually an asset in preparing bread pudding, because the dry bread will soak up a good deal of flavor. If you buy a lot of bread and sometimes don't use all of it, this recipe might be helpful for you. It was amazing how fast these little mini loaves of bread pudding disappeared!
Bread pudding to me is a perfect breakfast food, similar to pain perdu, or French toast. I also often enjoy it for le goûter de 4 heures, which in English translates to "4 p.m. snack". As a child, this was my favorite time of the day! My childhood memory of a typical "4 heures" would be a piece of warm baguette with a piece of chocolate, an apple and chocolate milk. If you ask any French kid, that's pretty normal but it doesn't seem to be this way in America. The juice box and supermarket candy bar that most American kids eat (including my little sisters-in-law), definitely don't compare.

Seth Rogen has recorded new announcements to help Toronto and Vancouver's public transportation chiefs fix bad behavior on the cities' subway systems.
The "Pineapple Express" star, who is Canadian, admits he was surprised by what people think is acceptable behavior when they're heading to work or just travelling around the cities, and was glad to be part of the team trying to clean up the subways.
"Someone else was supposed to do the voice of the public transportation in Vancouver, but he was eliminated due to some controversy," he told "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, referring to the fact Morgan Freeman was originally selected to voice the SkyTrain announcements.
"I swept in, I take public transportation... I was like, 'If I can give announcements to create any sort of decorum in this situation I'm more than happy to'. They gave me a list of things people complain about the most and one was people clipping their nails, toenails, on subways. I recorded a message to stop this behavior.
"I was like, 'Enough people do this that it requires a message?' And they were like, 'Yes!'"
Rogen replaced Freeman when the movie veteran was dumped as the voice of SkyTrain following his sexual misconduct scandal earlier this year.
The "Glory" star was accused of making unwanted and inappropriate comments to female assistants and journalists.

When dealing with functions in LISP it is sometimes desirable to handle them differently depending on the number of formal variables. My question: is there any possibility to define classes of functions like
"functions_of_one_variable", "functions_of_two_variables" etc? If this were possible, then one could define common methods e.g. iteration of a function of one variable etc.

Police searched a Japanese bus company's office Monday after seven people were killed and 39 were injured in a crash involving one of its buses, officials said.
Searches were carried out at the office of Rikuentai bus company in Inzai, Chiba prefecture, as well as the home of the company's president, Yumihide Hariu, on suspicion of negligent driving resulting in death and injury, Kyodo News reported.
Police confiscated Rikuentai's daily operations report and working regulations to determine whether the weekend accident was caused by driver fatigue after the driver of the bus, Kazan Kono, told police he fell asleep at the wheel. Kono was hospitalized with serious injuries and is expected to recover, police said.
The bus left Kanazawa, Ishikawa prefecture, around 10 p.m. Saturday and was heading for Tokyo Disneyland when it crashed into a guard wall on the Kanetsu Expressway in Fujioka at 4:40 a.m. Sunday, Kyodo News reported.
Kono called Hariu from the scene to report the crash.
"I'm sorry. I caused an accident and crashed into a wall," Hariu quoted Kono as saying.
Police said they would question Kono on suspicion of manslaughter resulting from negligent driving.
Bus industry officials say the crash was a result of cost-cutting and excessive competition in the industry, The Mainichi reported.
"Anyone who has five buses with one supervisor can now enter the market thanks to the deregulation, which has triggered excessive price competition and severe labor conditions for drivers," said a senior official with a bus company in Ishikawa prefecture.
A 52-year-old bus driver agreed, saying drivers often take on exhausting routes to make more money as fares get cheaper.
"Our salaries have also been halved compared to a decade ago. In order to survive, bus drivers have no choice but to undertake assignments under adverse conditions. Some may drive on very tight schedules," he said.

Last month, news that J.J. Abrams would direct "Star Wars: Episode VII" took the entertainment world by storm.
Today, a new conversation begins — who'll direct the "Star Wars" spinoff movies that Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are writing?
In an interview with CNBC Tuesday, Walt Disney Co. chairman and CEO Robert Iger confirmed that in addition to releasing "Star Wars: Episode VII," Disney will also distribute "a few" stand-alone films that are not part of the overall saga.
Kasdan, who co-wrote the screenplay for "Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back," and Kinberg are working on the scripts for two of those projects.
Online speculation has suggested Yoda would be the subject of one of the movies, but Iger did not specify which characters might receive stand-alone treatment.

Update on Recipe Names
In recent months I have asked for help naming some recipes:
I posted about these Peanut Butter Chocolate cookies before, and asked for help with the name. I threw about some of the suggestions that were given, and the name chosen was... "You Got Peanut Butter in my Chocolate" Cookies. Thanks to Chris for this one! A long name, I know... but come on, it's a great one! So many people remember that Reese's commercial (well, except for you very youngin's)!
There were a couple of other recipes too...
This guacamole with kelp granules, posted back in April. The new name is Guacamole con Alga Marina, offered up by Sweetpotatopatti. The name translates literally to "guacamole with seaweed". I must confess, I love this because it makes me sound far more sophisticated than I really am. :)
Finally, we have Gluten-Be-Gone Chocolate Chip Cookies. I kept the name on this one. Many of you liked it from the original post, and I can use it for other recipes that I "de-gluten"!
This no-gluten theme got me thinking about including a Gluten-Buster note or icon in the new book. Anyhow, it will be a fun tool that I can use in sidebars and elsewhere to instruct people on how to 'bust that gluten' out of the recipe.
Of course these names are subject to change once my manuscript is in the hands of my publisher. Usually recipe names hold unless they really want to change it for some reason, or if I have to reorder recipes for page layout and thereby rename recipes to fit in alphabetically.
Hope you like 'em, and there will be other recipes to come that need a name... if you're game!

I tried to e-mail you yesterday, but it came back to me. I have firstname.lastname@example.com - is that correct?
- Dreena said...
Hi Carrie, that domain doesn't exist for me anymore... so use email@example.com. Thanks!!
- Vicki said...
i love playing the name game! hey, i had some friends over last night & they ooohed & ahhhhed tremendously over your creamy hummus & cannellini yam hummus ~ it was a hummus extravaganza! and, after hearing the podcast, i had to try the coconut lime cookies ~ wowza! those are amazing.
Yippee! I'm so honored!
What else can we come up with names for? (I am home with twin toddlers all day, so I like using my brain for something!)
- EatPeacePlease said...
Dreena, I like your names and these cookies look awesome! And I'd like to have another go at names if you are still stumped on any others!
- Chris said...
I'm honored as well! Those cookies do look delicious. Good luck finishing up the book. It'll be at the top of my wish list when it comes out.
- Dreena said...
Hi again Carrie... got your e-mail and will get back to you soon!
Hey Vicki! Sounds like a fun night!! Thanks - wowza works for me! :) When I was testing those cookies, I had a tough time getting them eaten - had to give a lot of them away because my husband, who usually devours most of the sweets, doesn't like coconut much. My sister's family loved them though, so those and the coconut squares went straight to them!!
Sweetpotatopatti, it's a cool name, so thanks for suggesting it. I'm sure I'll have many more recipes to name because, well, sometimes I suck at it! :)
Thank you Leslie... now, have I mentioned that these cookies only take about 10 minutes to bake?? Only 10 - that's like a gentle way to break in your oven again... :) jk, I know it's off limits for a while!!
Hi Chris! Well, I think a lot of people remember that commercial. Carrie mentioned she also had it come to mind when she saw the cookies, so it was a great suggestion, thanks!
- raising_kahne said...
I know I WILL not be able to resist that guacamole when your book comes out! I LOVE guacamole, but havent had it in months because it's hard to find any vegan things at mexican resturants here. : ( That's one thing I dont like about where I live: There's no vegan resturants close to us. So whenever we eat out, it can get really stressful!
Cant wait to see all of your other ideas for the book!
- Cindy said...
Love the new names of these recipes (especially you've got chocolate in my peanut butter).
great names! I'd take chocolate in my peanut butter anyday!
- Harmonia said...
I love the icon idea for the new book! These names are GREAT! Very clever.
I am in the process trying to order Kelp Powder at my locla herb store...in bulk. There isn't anywhere around here that carries it.
It's offical...I will have to order Vegan Worchestershire sauce online...there isn't even a chance for that in my area. Sheesh!
Also...I was reading up on the bake time for yams in the hummus recipe...is there are faster microwave method for crazy people like me?
I know microwaves aren't the best way to do things and aren't as healthy but if we are in a pinch for time...how long would you nuke a yam for the hummus recipe?
- Dreena said...
Savanna, guacamole is SUPER easy to make if you want to do so yourself. Simply mash a couple of ripe avocados, then add a few pinches of sea salt and a few good squeezes of lemon or lime juice. Avocados vary in size, so just adjust salt;lime/lemon juice to taste. This is the most basic kind of guacamole. You can add chopped cilantro if you like it, chopped tomatoes, minced garlic or onions (though I don't like garlic or onions in my guac), cumin if you like... give it a try - it's simple!!
Thank you Cindy! :)
Thanks Harmonia, I like using the gluten buster icon too - hopefully my publisher will!! I can't believe you need to order in vegan worcestershire - I can even get it in our large grocery store - in the health food area. That's a nuisance!! Oh well... on to the sweet potatoes. The only thing I use my microwave for is to soften ice-cream!!! Seriously, I rarely use it. Sure, you can nuke the tater, but it will taste FAR better baked. Even for this dip. The baking caramelizes the flavors and it tastes roasted and fabulous. So easy, just turn your oven on about 400, give the potato(es) a quick wash, then pop them on the rack or a baking pan and bake till soft, about an hour or so depending on the size. You can do this first thing in the morning while you are getting breakfast, showering, etc. Then, it's ready for you later in the day to make the hummus. :) Or, you can nuke, but I have NO idea how long... go for the baking Harmonia!!
- KleoPatra said...
Nice!!! I totally remember that peanut butter/chocolate Reese's commercial... The cookies look sooooooo good, Dreena! Nice to have the gluten-free items as well. I know peeps with celiac disease and those will be groovy for 'em!
- Jody from VegChic said...
Geez, waiting for the new cookbook might just kill us all...lol.
I think the peanut butter cookies will be the first recipe I try!
The names are great. Hope your hubby has a great birthday.

Make a static parser from a grammar.
Example usage:
g :: Grammar s a gparser = $(mkStaticParser g [|g|])
Note that
gparser must be in a different module than
g, due to
Template Haskell restrictions.
The token type of the grammar must also be an instance of
ToPat, and the
result type an instance of
Typeable (the GHC extension
DeriveDataTypeable may be useful for this).
If there are conflicts in the parsing tables, they will be displayed as warnings when compiling the parser.
Make a Template Haskell pattern from a value.
This is used to create a case expression from a parsing table when using
mkStaticParser, and it is thus required that the token type that the
parser is to operate on is an instance of this class.
The parser will behave differently depending on how its
ToPat instance
works. If only comparing constructors (
toConstrPat), it will regard
Just 1 as the same compared to
Just 2.
toConstrPat and Language.Haskell.TH can help in creating an instance.
toConstrPat :: (Token t, Lift t) => t -> PatQSource
Automatically create a
ToPat instance which only compares the constructor
of the token type. For example, the pattern yielded from using this on the

This shows the position as an index into the input string of tokens, which

About this font family
To design Mr Black, we used old ('70-'80) dry transfer lettering sheets that were used by my grandfather who was a military cartographer. We had only two almost used-up sheets. The letters didn't transfer so well but we liked the way they were damaged.
All of the characters have a very high resolution so they can be used in a large scale. Mr Black doesn't have lowercases but has up to three alternate uppercase for each letter. Checkout Mr Tiger if your looking for lowercase letters with the same distortion effect.
We designed it for our book for children, "Who eats Whom"

ExaGrid Momentum Continues with Double-Digit Growth and Cash Positive Status
'Best at Disk-based Backup' Leader Grows 10 Percent Over Q3-13 and Turns Cash Positive Innovation, Industry Recognition, Unique Scale-out Architecture, and Commitments to Customers Define Year for ExaGrid
Jan 07, 2014, 10:30 ET
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Building products to solve the backup problem, ExaGrid Systems announced today that it grew 10 percent from Q3-13 to Q4-13. The company also announced that is has turned cash positive and will be cash positive from this point moving forward. The company consistently ranked 'best at disk-based backup with deduplication' by leading experts is positioned for a breakout year in 2014.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130821/NE67072LOGO-b)
ExaGrid, which roots its success in addressing customers' needs and providing solutions to their data backup challenges, has led the disk-based backup market by replacing and removing all the challenges of tape backup. ExaGrid is the only solution that permanently fixes the backup window and also offers the industry's fastest restores.
Making waves throughout 2013, ExaGrid:
- Surpassed 1,850 customers
- Launched its most robust appliance that can scale to 210 terabytes in a single GRID
- Became the industry's first tech company to have over 300 published customer success stories
- Was awarded two new patents
- Won four "best product" awards, achieved finalist status in four additional competitions, and earned top spots in analyst reports from three independent firms
"ExaGrid achieved a number of great milestones in 2013," said Bill Andrews, CEO of ExaGrid. "ExaGrid has the first and only product in the category of scale-out disk-based backup with data deduplication. Customers increasingly understand the need to add compute with capacity, as backup and deduplication are both compute-intensive processes. ExaGrid is the only company 100 percent focused on disk-based backup with deduplication and continues to push the envelope as a technology leader and also an industry thought leader."
A Year of Technological Innovation
In October, the company launched its latest appliance, the EX21000E. The new appliance scales to 210 terabytes in a single GRID system and provides up to 400 percent more throughput than its closest competitor. No other backup architecture can match this performance because only ExaGrid solves the compute problems associated with deduplication. ExaGrid is the only disk-based backup solution that permanently fixes the backup window as data grows.
ExaGrid's scale-out grid architecture and compute with capacity model, allows the company's appliances to execute computationally-intensive deduplication functions in parallel across all appliances in a customer's multi-appliance configuration. In addition, ExaGrid's unique landing zone ensures that the most recent backup data can be quickly restored or copied to offsite tape without having to rehydrate the data. With the advent of virtualization, ExaGrid's landing zone can maintain a full copy of a VM. In the event of a failure the VM can be booted directly from the ExaGrid system resulting in an instant recovery. This is another industry exclusive capability.
Praise from the Experts
Accruing four "product of the year" awards, four additional award "shortlist" recognitions, and dominating industry reports, analysts and industry experts alike have consistently recognized the value ExaGrid solutions delivered over the year. In each of these assessments, ExaGrid was pitted against chief rival EMC Data Domain, which requires expensive forklift upgrades once customers hit the data ceiling of the appliance, as well as slow restores since all data is deduplicated or de-hydrated.
2013 awards included:
- IDG InfoWorld 2013 'Technology of the Year' Award
- "Disk Based Product of the Year" at the Annual Storage Awards
- "Product of the Year" at the Techworld Awards
- A bronze medal in SearchStorage.com's annual "Product of the Year" competition
Shortlisted categories at awards included:
- "Backup and Recovery / Archive Product of the Year" at the Annual SVC Awards
- Storage Magazine "One to Watch" Award – Product
- Storage Magazine "One to Watch" Award – Company
- Storage Magazine "Value for Money" Award
Report distinctions included:
- "Best-in-Class" for solutions under $50k and $100k by DCIG
- Earned 99 of 100 points in Info-Tech Vendor Landscape: Disk Backup report
- ESG Lab Report - validation of the effective instant VM recovery capabilities of ExaGrid's system when used with Veeam's virtual data protection solution

More than 1,850 customers worldwide depend on ExaGrid Systems to solve their backup problems, effectively and permanently. ExaGrid's disk based, scale-out GRID architecture constantly adjusts to incessant growing data backup demands, and is the only solution that combines compute with capacity to permanently shorten backup windows and eliminate expensive forklift upgrades.

By Shawn Langlois
Good morning.
For those of you who didn't buy a Powerball ticket or load up on shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters before yesterday's results, maybe it's time to make some money the old-fashioned way: By buying deep-in-the-money put options on a leveraged long ETF tracking the S&P 500.
In any case, stocks are meandering lower again, failing to show signs of a bounce after Tuesday's drift south. While Senate bickering continues to pose a headwind, there's not much in the way of notable earnings to go along with a smattering of economic data. Perhaps some special dividend announcements, like the most recent from Costco, will lure buyers, though big bounces don't always follow.
Key market gauges: Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 are in the red but barely budging. The Nikkei's /quotes/zigman/5986735 JP:100000018 win streak comes to an end, while China's Shanghai index /quotes/zigman/1859015 CN:000001 drops to levels not seen since January 2009. It's not much better in Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP either.
The economy: The MBA weekly mortgage applications survey hits at 7 a.m. October new home sales follow three hours later with analysts looking for a dip of 0.5% after a jump of 5.7% in September. Later, we'll get the EIA weekly petroleum report and word on the Federal Reserve Beige Book.
Tax-avoiding payouts: Special dividends are popping up all over the place these days. The latest from Costco /quotes/zigman/67728 /quotes/nls/cost COST , whose shares are up premarket after the company said it plans to pay out $7 a share, or about $3 billion. This is a burgeoning trend to keep an eye on ahead of a potential fiscal-cliff dividend tax hike.
Earlier this week, Las Vegas Sands /quotes/zigman/355622 /quotes/nls/lvs LVS rallied on word it'll pay out a lump of cash to shareholders. As of yesterday, some 68 companies in the Russell 3000 have announced special dividends since the end of September. During the same period last year, only 15 did it. This won't be the last we hear for this trend. But is it something to bank on? Not necessarily, according to this CNBC post.
Who's next? MasterCard /quotes/zigman/390906 /quotes/nls/ma MA and General Dynamics /quotes/zigman/227407 /quotes/nls/gd GD , perhaps? Here's a list from Goldman Sachs, by way of Business Insider, pointing out which companies are most likely to fork over a juicy dividend.
After what could be a mad rush to this year's finish line to avoid a tax haymaker, companies could resort to boosting buyback plans next year. Unless, of course, the tax hit doesn't end up being as bad as some are preparing for it to be. Eddy Elfenbein of the Crossing Wall Street blog had this to tweet about it: "To any investor impressed by share buybacks, I have one word for you — Cisco Systems /quotes/zigman/20039 /quotes/nls/csco CSCO ."
While we're on Twitter, here's a timely tweet pairing two hot topics, courtesy of Yahoo Finance blogger Jeff Macke: "After I win $700m tonight I'll issue a special dividend of $1 to each follower, $10 if you can prove you're a church or non-profit."
The buzz: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters /quotes/zigman/54683 /quotes/nls/gmcr GMCR is up some 25% in premarket action after the company completely destroyed analyst targets yesterday. Investors are talking it up on Twitter like they just quaffed five cups. Amid the bull stampede, here's a cautious take from Seeking Alpha.
The chart of the day: The technical guys are having a field day with GMCR already, and the sun is hardly even up yet. Take a look at this bullish take from Captain John, with the added caption of "Green Mountain is the place for me!" There seems to be a cyber-consensus that the rally will be more than a temporary blip.
The call of the day: Eric Jackson, founder of Ironfire Capital and the Breakout Performance blog, just went long on Research in Motion /quotes/zigman/18534 /quotes/nls/rimm RIMM after only playing it short in the past.
