Interesting article....but leaves the door open to producing non-corn ethanol in "environment-friendly" ways...from algae, etc. No mention made of small-engine damage resulting from ethanol use.

Exactly, #1; we coulda told the IPCC this YEARS ago. Motorcycle, boat, lawnmower engines don´t cotton to ethanol.

Farmers here in Indiana will hate this news, especially if common sense prevails and the artificial incentives for growing corn disappear. Everything this articles expounds on is crystal clear - we are starving the world and producing more carbon we had hoped to reduce. Leave it to politicians and the "greenies" to always do exactly opposite of what is good and beneficial for earth and mankind. MTBE, Delta Smelt, Ethanol, mercury from curly light bulb (that aren´t even manufactured here!) - the list will go on and on, especially given the marxist/progressive mindset of Control. Whew, rant over.

I used to see a 15-20% increase in gas mileage when Colorado switched off the ethanol blend in the Spring. Now that we have it year round, my mileage is always lower.

If corn is used for ethanol then it cannot be used for FOOD. That´s the Plan.It does not matter that it cost more to produce this fuel which can create havoc in an engine---just an wanted side effect.Investigate who plants corn and who gets subsidies.

If we were to quit using corn to make ethanol for our fuel, food prices in North and South America would be about 30% less.Corn prices and availability directly affect food prices.It is craziness to pour food into our fuel tanks.

For several decades we´ve had the numbers. It takes almost the same energy to make a gallon of ethanol as that gallon of ethanol can produce. Advocates twist the numbers as hard as they can to claim that you get about 10% more energy by the conversion. Detractors can more easily show you get less energy.(90% and even as low as 75%) With petroleum you get an easy 500% increase in energy(probably much more) over the energy used for extraction. It has been said by some that all of the energy produced by the Sun in the corn is about equal to the inefficiency of the conversion process.For ethanol if you are only nearly breaking even then why bother? To counter this obvious argument, the ethanol advocates have had to come up with other "advantages" of ethanol. "less nitrous", etc.Most of the energy used to produce ethanol comes from petroleum. You have to burn a gallon of gasoline to plow, plant, fertilize, harvest, ferment, and distill corn into about a gallon of ethanol. Then to get that energy from ethanol you have to BURN IT!. The end result is you have burned a gallon of ethanol AND! a gallon of gasoline. If you had just burned the gasoline directly in a car and skipped the ethanol step you are in the direction of producing only half the CO2.If ethanol was really a net energy producer then the energy needed for all of the means of producing it should come from the end product with plenty left over to sell.

MADISON, Wis. | Indiana coach Kevin Wilson insisted his defense played well at times Saturday.
It's just that when it didn't, the Hoosiers defense was giving up seven runs of 30 yards or more as the No. 17 Badgers rolled up 554 yards on the ground during a 51-3 win.
Those seven big runs Saturday were more than 73 FBS teams had on the season heading into Saturday.
"Outside of youth and ability, it was just missed assignments today," Wilson said. "Those are things I think are correctable. It's a young defense but it's got a long way to go."
Wilson has stuck up for his defense after past poor performances and was left to do so again Saturday.
Wisconsin's James White took the handoff on the Badgers' first play from scrimmage, brushed off a tackle at the line and reeled off a school-record 93-yard touchdown run as he gained a career-high 205 yards.
Melvin Gordon added 146 and another TD for Wisconsin (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten), while backup Corey Clement rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns and receiver Jared Abbrederis had 86 yards on just three carries, two of them for scores.
The Hoosiers (4-6, 2-4) struggled with containment on the edges and Wisconsin backs regularly were untouched until reaching the second level of defenders.
It's no surprise that Indiana's run defense would struggle against the Badgers, who average more than 280 yards a game, considering the Hoosiers have the conference's 10th-ranked rushing defense and give up an average of more than 217 yards a game.
But Wisconsin topped that just minutes into the second quarter, had 323 yards rushing at the half and finished just short of the school-record 564 yards rushing that the Badgers rolled up in beating Indiana 62-14 last season.
Still, Wilson argued the offense shouldered some of the blame for failing to generate any consistency and running 60 plays, below their season average of 67.
The Hoosiers only had three drives that went more than six plays.
"When you're not an overpowering offense in the run game, you've got to be pretty efficient in the passing game. We were just a little bit off in the timing," Wilson said. "The wind is a part of that. The rain is a part of that. But the defense is a part of that."

Minnesota Vikings superstar running back Adrian Peterson may need surgery this offseason. He is scheduled to visit Dr. William Meyers next week to evaluate an ongoing groin issue and decide if surgery is necessary. Dr. Meyers handled Peterson's sports hernia surgery after last season.
Peterson was inactive for two of the Vikings last three games because of the groin injury and an additional foot injury. The injured groin had an impact on his success this year, finishing with only 1,266 rushing yards this season in contrast to his 2,097 yard season previously.
Despite this situation, Peterson should be ready to roll for next season. He will miss the Pro Bowl and instead focus on getting healthy and ready for next year.

Queensland: Who's up for round two? Deloitte report
Queensland can surf the next boom tooDOWNLOAD
8 October 2013: Five super-growth sectors worth an extra $250 billion to the national economy over the next 20 years hold the key to Australia's future prosperity, according to a new report from Deloitte. The report, entitled Positioning for Prosperity? Catching the next wave, is the third edition of the firm's Building the Lucky Country series.
A companion press release considers the national impacts. However, Deloitte has also extended the analysis to each State and Territory. That work finds that Queensland was able to sell into the demands generated by burgeoning Asian prosperity over the past decade. However, those benefits were very sector-specific, concentrated on the State's coal industry, whereas the opportunities on offer across the next two decades will play to Queensland's strength across a range of sectors.
Queensland has been an outsize beneficiary of the rise of emerging Asia. The first decade of emerging Asia's climb saw the latter become very commodity hungry, and that was great news for Queensland's coalfields – this State had what the world wanted.
However, the State's economy has cooled more recently, with the rise of gas as an alternative fuel and some slowing in the breakneck pace of China's growth leading to tough times on the Queensland's coalfields. Add in a phase of reining back earlier unsustainable generosity in State public sector spending, and overall growth rates in Queensland have been more modest of late.
"That has been something of a wake-up call for this State – we're not used to being anything other than close to the top of the State growth leader board" said Deloitte Queensland Managing Partner, John Greig. "However, Queensland is very well placed to tap into the next round of opportunities opening up for the State's businesses. Even better, there will be a range of opportunities on offer across a number of sectors, particularly in agribusiness and tourism, as well as resources, aligning with much of the Queensland Government's four pillar approach to strengthen our economy."
Central to the Deloitte report is a Positioning for Prosperity map, which assesses where the next waves of prosperity are most likely to come from by plotting expected average global GDP growth rates over the next 20 years against the level of Australian competitive advantage for each sector. Below are two versions of the map, one for Australia as a whole and one for Queensland.
The rise of Asia means that Queensland will remain a major beneficiary of the State's resources. Even the recent moderation in coal prices doesn't stop the State having a great future in selling into Asian demand for coal.
Yet there are even greater growth prospects on offer in gas. Rapid industrialisation has affected the air quality of Asia's cities, and Queensland's gas potential offers a clean and green alternative that's already in high demand. That has underpinned massive development in Queensland in recent years. And while the politics of stakeholder management around future gas projects will doubtless prove challenging, the economics are very clear – gas offers the State the opportunity to turbocharge its growth in coming years.
However, the opportunities expected to be on offer extend far more widely than just the resources sector. Although the latter will remain central to Queensland's ability to slipstream the rise of Asia, it will be the State's strengths in tourism, agribusiness and in international education which may be the new growth drivers for the State over coming decades.
The starter's pistol has already fired on this front. The Australian dollar is already well off its peaks, and has the potential to fall further over time. That makes Queensland Pty Ltd much more competitive on world markets than it has been for years. And at the same time as the falling $A is making us more competitive, Asia's boom is changing – that continent is commodity hungry now, but its demand momentum will swing in favour of tourism, international education and high value farm products.
Queensland excels in all three of these areas.

S.A.G.E. is exactly what the abbreviation means: Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium. This predominately Sativa strain possesses the perfect combination of Haze genetics and Indica power, creating a plant, that is rapidly growing its popularity. Longer flowering period but well compensated by huge buds. Multiple award winning high THC level power plant.
MK-Ultra by T.H. Seeds is the offspring of the legendary G-13 (female) and OG Kush (male) and has won multiple prices. The plants produce an ample amount of very tight, round and resin coated popcorn-type buds. Provides an immediate high with a body kick like coffee.
Burmese Kush (feminized) by T.H. Seeds is a highly productive plant for growers with little space. Crossing Burmese Kush and OG Kush resulted in a strain with a short flowering period and that special Kush flavor all growers and blowers adore. The plants remain rather short with little branching, perfect for SOG setups.
Kushage (feminized) by T.H. Seeds combines the flavor of S.A.G.E. with the inspiring, bright high of the O.G. Kush. Kushage has a longer flowering period than O.G. and thus produces a higher yield. The buds are light green, resembling her father, S.A.G.E., wherein she inherited the big calyxes from her mother. Easy to grow, tall plant with a generous crop.
Sage 'n' Sour by T.H. Seeds unites the best traits of her daddy, S.A.G.E. and the infamous Sour Diesel, a very popular female clone from New York. West Coast Haze meets East Coast legend so to say. The plants develop heavy central buds and tend to bend under the weight. Well fed and with enough light she rewards the grower with a more than generous harvest.
Mkage (feminized) by T.H. Seeds is a new strain with high medicinal value. T.H. Seeds' top strain, S.A.G.E. has been crossed with the notorious MK-Ultra, a strain with a mind altering high. The outcome is this beautiful beast - Mkage, a plant with exceptional CBD levels.
Critical HOG is a predominantly Indica bred by crossing two award-winning varieties - Tennessee HOG and Critical Mass. Despite the strong Indica influence the plants grow up to a height of 120-160cm. Critical HOG is a very good choice for impatient growers, for she requires only 55 days to reach full maturity. Yields in the range of 350-550g/m².
A-Train by T.H. Seeds is the kid of two medicinal strains, the Afghani Mazar I Sharif and Arcata e-32 Trainwreck™ and is an effective appetite enhancer and helps lowering ocular pressure and to relief stress. But it also causes the "Chinese eyes syndrome"; you will be smiling from ear to ear and your eyes will be narrow slits. Get aboard A-Train now.
Dawg Star is a therapeutic variety with a highly sophisticated genetic background. If you suffer from strong chronic pain or insomnia, this offspring of DarkStar and Chemdog is the answer. The high CBD and CBN content produces a very narcotic effect that won't fail to give you the relaxation and serenity you need to find relief. Grown indoors it is possible to yield 600g/m².

In the biggest upset since Craig LaBan dinged Le Bec Fin of two of its bells, OG food blogger Holly Moore has downgraded Pats Steaks from five grease stains down to four. Whats more, one of those stains, he tweeted earlier this week, was awarded solely for the history of the cheesesteak shrine. So, in terms of quality and taste, the mother of all cheesesteaks has lost considerable ground. Last couple of visits got gristle in my steaks, and the meat to bun ratio is getting stingy. Also a cheesesteak now costs $9.50, which is really pushing it, Moore wrote.
Back in January, Grub took a lot of flack for suggesting the cheesesteaks popularity was waning, and that underdog, the roast pork sandwich, was quickly rising to take its place at the top. Perhaps we werent too far off the mark. Only time will tell.

Looking into a college course to expand my knowledge. Most of the courses state that I would need a portfolio. What would I need to put into it?
Any advice would be welcome
A variety of work if the course is lots of different kinds of photography, if the course specialises then photographs concentrating on that genre. Get someone else to choose a selection of images they think are your best as you will be blinded. Think about which is your best and your weakest, they usual ask which you think is the strongest and why. Then they may ask which is your weakess and why.
From there it will propbably be more about who inspires you, favourite photographers, etc etc.
Quality, not quantity.
If it isn't perfectly focused, perfectly exposed and perfectly composed, it doesn't go in. Better to have a portfolio of 5 perfect pictures than one of 10 with only 5 good shots an 5 fillers in. Be very self-critical and don't include anything but the very best.
If your place is dependent on an interview, you will probably have to justify the pictures you include, so they need to be good, and you need to know everything about each one of them. This will help prove you know what you are doing, and will improve your confidence in the fact that you do!
Good luck!
Would it need to include different aspects of photography like portrait, landscape, macro etc?
Quote: Would it need to include different aspects of photography like portrait, landscape, macro etc?
Don't see why it should. But this a bit like a 'how long is a piece of string' question!
My suggestion, FWIW, is contact the college and find out direct from them what is expected. Without knowing at least how many photos are needed, it's a shot in the dark.
In my experience colleges are mainly interested in your interest in photography and your enthusiasm to learn rather than what you have done in the past. They ask for a portfolio merely to see that you know which end of the camera is which. Put together a small portfolio of around 10 - 12 images of what YOU consider to be you best work and what YOU think represents your interests in photography.
Many colleges will accept you if you are a mature student based on an interview, show an interest and your in. It's a numbers game for them, 50 % of their students will drop out in the first year anyway so they need high numbers in the first year to justify running the course.
Thanks guys, will contact the collegeand see what they want before I put one together
Also consider that a portfolio going into college will be used for the instructor or other interested people to grasp where you are in the photography world. I did this some time ago, and the course professor said that while she enjoyed my work, all I really needed was some fine tuneing. Perhaps you could get similar remarks.

One Jason Voorhees actor is highly sought after for appearances and that is the non-credited Jason from Friday The 13th Part 2, Steve Dash.

Atrial Fibrillation Health Center
Atrial Fibrillation - Overview
What is atrial fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (say "AY-tree-uhl fih-bruh-LAY-shun") is the most common type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
Normally, the heart beats in a strong, steady rhythm. In atrial fibrillation, a problem with the heart's electrical system causes the two upper parts of the heart, the atria, to quiver, or fibrillate.
The quivering upsets the normal rhythm between the atria and the lower parts of the heart, the ventricles. And the ventricles may beat fast and without a regular rhythm.
This is dangerous because if the heartbeat isn't strong and steady, blood can collect, or pool, in the atria. And pooled blood is more likely to form clots. Clots can travel to the brain, block blood flow, and cause a stroke.
Atrial fibrillation can also lead to heart failure.
What causes atrial fibrillation?
Conditions that damage or strain the heart commonly cause atrial fibrillation. These include:
- High blood pressure.
- Coronary artery disease.
- Heart attack.
- Heart valve disease.
Other possible causes include:
- Other medical problems, such as heart failure, lung disease, pneumonia, or a high thyroid level.
- Heart surgery.
- Heavy alcohol use. This includes having more than 3 drinks a day over many years as well as drinking a large amount of alcohol at one time (binge drinking).
- Use of stimulants. These include caffeine, nicotine, medicines such as decongestants, and illegal drugs such as cocaine.
- Use of some prescription medicines, such as albuterol or theophylline.
Sometimes doctors can't find the cause. Doctors call this lone atrial fibrillation.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms may include:
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded.
- Feeling out of breath.
- Feeling weak and tired.
- Feeling like the heart is fluttering, racing, or pounding (palpitations).
- Feeling like the heart is beating unevenly.
- Having chest pain (angina).
- Fainting.
Sometimes atrial fibrillation doesn't cause obvious symptoms.
If you have symptoms, see your doctor. Finding and treating atrial fibrillation right away can help you avoid serious problems.
How is atrial fibrillation diagnosed?
The doctor will ask questions about your past health, do a physical exam, and order tests.
The best way to find out if you have atrial fibrillation is to have an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). An EKG is a test that checks for problems with the heart's electrical activity.
You might also have lab tests and an echocardiogram. An echocardiogram can show how well your heart is pumping and whether your heart valves are damaged.

Fix for poorly performing Magic Mouse on some Mac Pros
I can also confirm this with my mid-2006 quad core Mac Pro. I just purchased the BT card, and installed it (along with the requisite cursing), and BT performance with the MM was horrible. I did the antenna swap, and everything works fine.

About Rhodes Island
Rhodes Island originated from the sea, according to Greek mythology. Poseidon was guarding the island and when he was not there, his beautiful daughter, the nymph Rhode, was responsible for it. Later, Helios, the sun god, received the island as a gift from Zeus and he renamed it Rhodes after Rhode, who became his wife. The couple is said to have had seven sons, the oldest of which had three sons who were the founding fathers of the island of Rhodes -- Kameiros, Ialysos, and Lindos.
The island has a spectacular history as a very important island in ancient Greek times; it has been populated since the twenty-eighth century BC. Here, there were settements of the Minoan, and then of the Mycenaean civilization many centuries before Christ. The island had one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World -- the Colossus of Rhodes, which was destroyed in the Middle Ages.
Today, you can enjoy Rhodes' enormous cultural heritage together with its amazing sandy beaches. The most famous place is the Acropolis -- a well-preserved ancient town with references to different epochs and cultures. Worth visiting are also the ruins of Ialysos and Kameiros, Kallithea Springs, and the region of Faliraki. In fact, there are so many things to do that you can easily spend a month in the summer exploring the island.
There are many Rhodes Island hostels, but most of them operate only during the summer season; finding an open Rhodes Island hostel during the winter can be very hard. Even if you do, do not expect that it would be cheap. Most Rhodes Island hostels are situated very close to the beaches but there is no specific area where hostels in Rhodes Island are concentrated. In the summer, the competition is huge so hostels in Rhodes Island offer great conditions at moderate prices. You can find a good deal if you book ahead.

Evidence of Evolution
Topics in Depth
The Theme of Molecular Biology in Evidence of Evolution
Although the tools of modern molecular biology weren't available to early evolutionary thinkers, we now have at our disposal even more evidence that supports evolution. For starters, we know that similar chemistry, structures and processes underlie all cells. Consider, for example, that all cells, regardless of what animal they come from, have mitochondria. This important cellular organelle is the site for cellular respiration in almost all eukaryotic organisms. Ribosomes are another great example—cells from all three domains of life (Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea) possess these structures, which help to assemble proteins based on the organism's genetic code. Ribosomes from cells of these three domains actually do show differences, but nonetheless, the process of protein synthesis basically works the same way among all living things.
Molecular biology also contributes to our understanding of evolution by revealing degrees of relatedness between different organisms. We just noted that some structures and processes are conserved across all organisms, providing evidence for shared ancestry a long time ago. But modern genetics can also help us parcel out more recent evolutionary events. By figuring out the sequences of certain genes and comparing them in different organisms, scientists can figure out who is most closely related to whom. This is because mutations occur every time our genetic material is replicated; it doesn't happen very often, but every once in a while a base pair might be added, deleted, or changed. It is estimated that 300 new mutations are introduced into the human genome every generation—that is, you have 300 new mutations compared to your mom and dad! Assuming these mutations occur at a somewhat constant, predictable rate, we can reason that the more time that has passed since two organisms diverged from each other, the more different their DNA will be. Just think, taking into account 300 new mutations every generation, your child would have 600 new mutations compared to your parents and your grandchild would have 900 new mutations. Over time, these accumulate in the genome, adding to the differences observed between organisms. In other words, more similar DNA sequences can mean that two organisms are closely related, and very different sequences indicate that they split from each other a longer time ago.
For aficionados of gigantic Ice Age mammals, mammoths provide a cool example of how gene sequencing reveals information about the evolution of elephants and their relatives. In 2006 an international group of scientists sequenced genes from extinct wooly mammoths—itself a remarkable feat. Mammoths are often found in permafrost, extremely cold soil, which provides ideal conditions for preserving DNA. The research team compared mammoth gene sequences to two different kinds of elephants living today: modern Asian and African elephants. They discovered that the closest living relatives of mammoths are Asian elephants. In other words, mammoths and Asian elephants share more of their DNA and a more recent common ancestor than modern Asian and African elephants.
