In December 2010, Interior Department Principal Deputy CIO Lawrence Gross and CIO Bernie Mazer made an important decision: They would closely review every IT purchase that exceeded $3,000.
It was a massive undertaking, but Gross said it needed to be done.
"We wanted to get a better perspective on what was being purchased, and we wanted to have a low enough dollar threshold that we could see down to the level of even the shrink-wrapped software," Gross said.
In the first six months, the department realized significant savings, and leaders threw their support behind the initiative, he added.
"Because we were able to show tangible results in the pushback, organizational leadership recognized the value and said, 'We are going to adhere to this,'" Gross said.
Interior's partnership with VMware was one opportunity identified for savings, he added. Nearly every department component used VMware technology, but he and his team discovered they could get it at a better price by coordinating the purchases.
"Our motto was that we wanted to be able to deliver to you what you're receiving today at the same price or better," Gross said.
When the department first began following that model, he reviewed every purchase item that came into the CIO's office.
Communication and leadership buy-in were the secrets to Interior's effective execution of the plan and of other IT initiatives, such as moving financial management services to the cloud and switching to Gmail. Another key ingredient was changing the conversation from one focused on technology to one focused on business, Gross said.
"With the initial IT strategy, we went to the secretary and said, 'We think through this initiative we can save significant amounts of money.' It was quoted at about half a billion dollars at the time," he said. "It's about changing the conversation from strictly a technical conversation to a business-driven conversation that is outcome-based."
The same attitude came into play for Interior's cloud projects. The upfront costs of migrating to the cloud should not keep agencies from making the move, Gross said.
"Any change you do will have upfront costs," he added. "It's about defraying those upfront costs so that it's manageable."
The cost of expediting the migration of Interior's IT operations to the cloud, which was announced in 2013, is estimated to be as much as $10 billion in awarded contracts. The financial management and email systems have already been transferred, and Interior's bureaus are moving various applications intermittently.
Now the department is looking at its internal governance model with an eye toward acting as an oversight body and making sure those services adhere to certain standards and requirements, Gross said.
"With cloud, it will change a lot of the different dynamics of the organization," he said. "As those dynamics change so does who needs to be at the table."

The Westie is grouped with and probably closely related to the other terriers of Scotland, including the Cairn, the Dandie Dinmont, the Scottish and the Skye. It was bred to be a working terrier, going to ground to combat rats, rabbit, badger and fox. Legend has it that Colonel Malcolm was hunting with his small brown terriers and accidentally shot his favorite, mistaking it for a fox. Malcolm apparently set about developing a small white dog that could perform all the functions of a working terrier but would never be accidentally mistaken for prey. He selected the lightest puppies from litters of Cairn Terriers and bred them without crossing with any traditionally tan dogs. Eventually, he created pure white terriers that bred true to type, temperament, function and color.
Originally known by several different names, the West Highland White Terrier became known by its present name in the very early part of the 20th century. It was first shown under its modern name in 1904 at the Scottish Kennel Club dog show in Edinburgh. The Kennel Club (England) officially recognized the present breed name several years later, around the time Westies were first shown at Crufts. An imported bitch named Sky Lady, born in 1906 in England, was the first dog to be officially registered as a "West Highland White Terrier."
The first Westies probably came to America in or about 1905. The breed obtained American Kennel Club recognition as the Roseneath Terrier in 1908, as a member of the Terrier Group. The official breed name in the United States was changed to the West Highland White Terrier in May of 1909. By the end of the 20th century, the Westie was among the most popular of all dog breeds.
The Westie is adaptable, versatile and athletic, requiring little pampering and being quite adventurous. It retains its keen nose and boundless enthusiasm for "going to earth" to flush rodents and other small game, whether in a natural or a competitive field trial setting. Westies excel at tracking, agility, obedience and other performance disciplines, as well as in the conformation ring. They have been used as therapy and service dogs and are equally happy in urban or rural environments. These are delightful, active and independent little dogs that require time and dedication to make them excellent companions.
The average life span of the West Highland White Terrier is 12 to 14 years. Breed health concerns may include copper toxicosis, globoid cell leukodystrophy, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonic stenosis, generalized demodicosis, hepatitis, pyruvate kinase deficiency, congenital deafness, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye), corneal ulceration, cataracts, ectopic ureters, epidermal dysplasia (Armadillo Westie syndrome; Malassezia dermatitis) and white shaker dog syndrome.

The apartment was absolutely foggy when we moved in the first day. The tub even had dirt left in it. My roomma Read Morete swears she saw someone in her closet (the panel that leads to the attic) lift up the hatch. That wasn't really a problem, as the maintenance crew boarded up the hole. You could are where they painted over dead roach carcasses (mostly on the kitchen drawers). Oh, of course there were the live ones too.

Uh-oh. Looks like the high profile political action committee Ready for Hillary has some company. Launched Tuesday, Ready4Warren.com is a new campaign website to support a potential presidential run by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts in 2016.
The volunteer grass-roots organizers declare: "We aren't wealthy or well-connected. We don't have any lobbyists. What we are is a movement of individuals working together who believe that folks like us should have a greater say in the direction of our country."
They add: It's time that the American people had a lobbyist of our own, and that lobbyist is Elizabeth Warren. By standing up to Wall Street to defend Main Street, Warren has proven herself to be the spine that the Democratic Party forgot it had."
Such sentiments exemplify the kind of liberal populism that strategists say could appeal to many Democrats who are becoming wary of long established political brands and veterans politicians - like Hillary Clinton.
Mrs. Warren gas already written "A Fighting Chance", a well received memoir, published well before Mrs. Clinton's "Hard Choices". She has been deemed a newly realized "stealth candidate" in news accounts, and compared to David Brat, who recently rattled Rep. Eric Cantor right out of the Virginia GOP primaries.
"Warren is perfectly poised to be the Obama of 2016," syndicated columnist Jonah Goldberg said recently.

Southern Illinois Will Tighten Conflict of Interest Rules
April 27, 2009
The board of Southern Illinois University plans to adopt rules requiring trustees to report any potential conflict of interest -- including "indirect" benefits -- for consideration of whether the board members should recuse themselves from various matters, the Chicago Tribune reported. The move follows criticism of such an "indirect" benefit, in which a trustee voted for many construction contracts to companies to which the trustee's insurance business -- which specializes in construction project insurance -- sold policies.

Emily Soeder's latest triumph in the high jump was part of the Baldwinsville girls track and field team's solid fourth-place finish in Tuesday's Section III Class AA championship meet at Central Square.
All told, the Bees earned 60 points, barely missing third place as West Genesee (61.5 points) took that spot. Everyone ended up chasing Fayetteville-Manlius, who used its dominance in distance running to pile up 145.5 points, with Rome Free Academy (83 points) the runner-up.
The high jump turned into a duel between Soeder and RFA's Kati Gotch. Though she didn't get to her career-best effort, Soeder, by clearing 5 feet 3 inches, eased ahead of Gotch, who could do no better than 5'2" on this day.
B'ville did quite well in the relays, and nearly won the 4x400. Katie Wicks, Rachael Miller, Kelley Hull and Marissa Lathrop finished in four minutes, 2.84 seconds, inches behind F-M, who won in 4:02.79 by just 0.05 seconds.
It was just as close in the 4x100, where Cierra Allen, Brittany LaRock, Randi Bort and Rebecca Lawrence pushed Corcoran all the way to the line, with the Cougars, in 50.35 seconds, edged the Bees, who had 50.41 seconds.
Miller challenged the F-M crowd in the 800-meter run and almost conquered them, finishing in 2:17.83 for second place, right behind the Hornets' Annika Avery, who won in 2:17.63. Lathrop took fifth place in 2:22.33.
Wicks made her individual push in the 400-meter dash, and got to second place in 1:00.05, though she couldn't catch Corcoran's Patrice Williams, who won in 57.98 seconds. Lawrence added a fifth-place time of 27.19 seconds in the 200-meter dash.
Mia Bolton took seventh place (8:07.7) in the 2,000-meter steeplechase, but paired with Shylea Dukat, Kirby Socker and Madison Gonzalez to finish fourth in the 4x800 relay in 10:30.92.
Carlie McNamara got third place in the discus, throwing it 92'9", though it was far back of RFA superstar Mariah Mays, who holds the Section III record in the event and won here with 134'7".

Daddy Dazed loves these Kids Snippets – kids tales voiced by children, acted by adults.
Daddy Dazed loves these Kids Snippets – kids tales voiced by children, acted by adults.
There are many things that you can do indoors to keep the cheeriest moods intact in gloomy weather.
There are various other things to do while being indoors like dancing, playing hide and seek, have a parade, play find the timer and much more! You only require using your imagination, like Peter Pan did, to make these moments even more entertaining and memorable!
It's the UK and the chances are that, even in the summer, it'll be raining somewhere. It's an accepted, if irritating, part of life, but what are you going to do with your child during a rainy day? Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do, some at home and some by heading off to a local museum or art gallery.
Imagination and inspiration
Children need to be stimulated, and you can so easily do this in the home if you're prepared to take the time. Use your imagination to inspire your kid, and in no time they'll have a whole range of new experiences and skills to enjoy.
Why not teach your child the basics of chess? They will love to learn how the different pieces move and its a great way to teach them about tactics.
Museums and Galleries
Kids are thirsty for knowledge, so taking your son or daughter to a local museum to see and learn about new things is a great way to spend a rainy day. You can work with them to help explain the things they see, and most museums today have interactive exhibits that engage children – and adults as well.
If you're in or near London, try the Science Museum, where science comes to life. Fascinating exhibitions showcase the development of scientific theories and achievements and delve into how products we take for granted are engineered. Indeed, your son could be inspired to be an engineer, rise through the ranks and end up as chairman of a major engineering company.
Meggitt, for example, is a huge UK company specialising in aerospace and other technology areas. As top City financier Sir Nigel Rudd joins Meggitt board, it gives a boost to this important engineering business. It shows how engineering is an essential part of the UK economy.
Build things
Meccano has been around for a long time, and you may well have had some of this amazing construction kit when you were a child. Suffice it to say that it hasn't really been bettered. Using simple metal strips, plates and girders that are perforated and connected with nuts and bolts, they have taught many boys – and girls too ¬– the basics of mechanical engineering.
Don't forget Lego. Together, you and you child can invent outrageous structures or vehicles out of these tiny bricks, exciting your son's imagination and intriguing him with the possibilities that even play engineering can lead to something more.
Rainy days can be great fun. You have time with your child, you can teach and get feedback from him and perhaps even learn things you hadn't thought of yourself. It may be wet outside, but the sun's shining indoors.
Six men pushing middle age are seated round the lounge table covered in a piece of green beize bought from Argos, smoking cigars and joints, sipping beer and believing they are in a Vegas Casino. It's poker night.
How's being a stay at home dad?
Fucking exhausting!
There is a reason why for centuries men have chosen not to do it – they worked out that hunting animals or going down the pits or even going to war was preferable. But childcare is so expensive it doesn't really make sense for me to work. She earns far more than me.
She sends me regular texts and e mail reminders. "Don't forget to feed the kids." "Please take washing out of washing machines."
Sounds like she's got your balls!
They all get them in the end. At least she hasn't got my wallet. Well actually she has, but there's nothing in it! That's why I need to win big here tonight boys!
But on the flip-side, on the good days I get to lie on the sofa and watch Peppa Pig all day.
I love that cartoon! And she's right – there's nothing beats jumping in muddy puddles somedays.
Pam has said we should start looking for a live-in au pair. I got really excited when I started looking online. There were some really fit ones. I campaigned for one from Brazil. But she soon stamped on that dream. She made it clear that she's in charge of hiring. We've got an interview with a Bulgarian woman this week. She's older than my mum and looks like a shot putter.
A few years ago these men's poker nights were a monthly engagement in our diary. But now everyone is to busy with work and ever expanding families to find the time or energy to stay up all night drinking, playing poker. I have instead turned to the online casino industry to get my gambling fix.
At the moment its not poker but casino roulette that has got me hooked.
Once again, its late, I'm sitting in my house and imagining I'm in a Vegas casino. And I love it. Although I do miss the drunken banter.
Some Netflix recommendations for dads to watch in their man cave.
Put-upon teacher turns into bad ass drug dealer. If you are one of the few that hasn't watched it yet, join the party. You won't regret it.
Watch it when you have caned Breaking Bad and you are still craving for a Vince Gilligan fix.
Politics has never been so watchable or so sexy.
If you can get past Sherlock's sidekick / The Hobbit doing a William H Macey impression this is one helluva ride. Billy Bob Thornton at his menacing best.
It's fathers day soon and wifey if you are reading this can i get one of these water powered jet packs please? M has some child benefit saved in her own bank account i'm sure she'd be delighted to spend it all on me. They are about $100k, so you might have top up the difference!
Everybody likes good comedy right? And us Brits do it pretty well. Monty Python, Ricky Gervais and that big guy, James Corden, they're all pretty funny, right? But you know what? It's not that they're so funny because they mean to be – most of the time they just can't help it. The fact is those guys come from a place that has comedy just oozing out of the ground. It's not just history that we have a lots of. We also have thousands of years of comic potential just waiting to be tapped as well. Did you take a peek at the people standing to be Prime Minister recently? Honestly, if Jim Henson had seen any of those guys the Muppets would have been a heck of a lot more freaky. It's a fair bet that us Brits spent more time laughing at them than listening to them.
You know that saying about politics being showbusiness for ugly people? In Britain it works slightly differently. In Britain, politics is stand-up for people with no insight and no irony, who simply don't realise how laughable they are.

Finding the time to you need to exercise when you're a parent can be a particularly difficult task, especially when your children are very young. Whilst running round attempting to keep up with your hyper-active four year old can prove to be more energetic than you'd think, it may not quite be the fitness regime you were hoping for.
Whilst it's important to spend time with your kiddos, spending time doing the things you enjoyed pre-children is extremely important too – especially if it means leading a healthy lifestyle. Of course, while your children are not quite at the walking stage just yet certain activities may not be parent-child friendly; but as they grow there are plenty of sports you can enjoy together.
Teaching your children to ride a bicycle is such a rewarding task and it will fill you (and them!) with pride when they finally get the confidence to banish the stabilisers! Providing your children with a trike from a young age will stand them in good stead for when they get a little older and move onto a more grown up bike. When they reach the age when they feel safe and secure on two wheels rather than four, then venturing out into the countryside is a great way to explore the great outdoors and keep fit whilst doing so.
Whether you're spending time at the local park or enjoying a family outing to the seaside, cricket is a superb way to encourage the whole family to keep fit together and get up off of that sofa! Whilst the children are younger, it may not be as physical as you're used to but as they get a little older, playing cricket can be a fantastic way to encourage some healthy competition amongst siblings. Investing in high quality equipment that is built to last such as cricket bats and the right protection, will mean that the sport can be enjoyed time and time again!
Swimming is a fantastic activity to enjoy with your children as it can be done from a very young age – and it gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy some quality time together whilst keeping fit. Swimming is a great workout for your whole body and will help to keep you looking toned and is beneficial for those of you with bad backs or achey joints. The best part is, swimming hardly seems like exercise at all and is a fantastic way to unwind after a particularly stressful day.
Ice Hockey
Perhaps a tad unconventional in comparison to other sports, but ice hockey can be plenty of fun – provided you have the correct equipment to keep you safe whilst doing do. This is a pastime that should be saved for when your children get a little older as any sport carried out on ice can mean some tumbles, especially if you're not steady on your feet at first but once you both become a little more confident you're certain to forget the bumps and bruises!

Season 2 Theatrical Event Date Revealed

Location: Dayton, OH
Re: Season 2 Theatrical Event Date Revealed
I just got back from mine.
Earlier in this thread, my local theater wasn't participating in the event until they changed their mind a couple weeks ago. That being said, I enjoyed myself
more than I did during the first event. Although I do have to say I was disappointed with the audience in my theater. I was the only one clapping when Louvois concluded the hearing. Come on people! I probably came off as a grinning idiot, especially because I definitely heard some awkward uncomfortable laughter. Tough crowd I guess.
I'm looking forward to the next one! With the little preview at the end, they point out both Yesterday's Enterprise and Best of Both Worlds, so I'm going to assume those are the next ones. A nice little cliffhanger for event III and IV?

(Vivien Killilea/Getty Images)New York Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire said Tuesday that it's "possible" he will be ready for the team's regular season opener on Oct. 30, according to a tweet from Newsday reporter Al Iannazzone.Stoudemire made the comment a day after the Knicks announced that he and guard J.R. Smith will sit out the first three games of the preseason, which begins on Wednesday with a matchup against the Boston Celtics at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, RI.Both players had knee surgery this offseason --Stoudemire has yet to participate in running drills with the team -- but head coach Mike Woodson may play Stoudemire on Oct. 17 in a game against the Wizards. If he returned in Washington, it would give the 30-year-old four preseason games before the regular season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.When Stoudemire does return, the Knicks will keep him on a strict minutes limit to begin the season in order to keep him healthy for a chance at playing more during a possible playoff run.

The present invention relates to the reduction of oxides of nitrogen, hereinafter referred to as NOx, in stack gases, particularly to gases resulting from the combustion of coal. The invention can also be used to reduce NOx from other combustion processes involving oil or natural gas. The invention is further related to a reduction of NOx using selective catalytic reduction in which ammonia, oxygen and a suitable catalyst are employed to reduce the NOx to water and nitrogen, and where the amount of ammonia escaping the process must be held to low values.
There are two approaches to controlling NOx emissions resulting from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. One is to control the combustion to limit the NOx formation and the second is to process the flue gas to reduce the NOx to nitrogen and water. One of the flue gas treating processes involves adding ammonia (NH3) as a reducing agent either with or without a catalyst for the selective reduction of the NOx to nitrogen and water. When a catalyst is used the process is referred to as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and without a catalyst the process is referred to as selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). In the SNCR process there is a very narrow temperature window where NOx reduction occurs. This temperature is around 1740� F. and if temperatures are reduced below about 1600� F. the rate of reduction of NOx falls off drastically and the NH3 flows through the process without being reacted with the NOx. At temperatures higher than about 1900� F. the injected NH3 burns to form additional NOx. The characteristics of the process are a high NH3 requirement and high NH3 concentrations in the treated gas. In order to reduce the optimum reaction temperature and broaden the temperature window, the use of catalyst has been incorporated with reduction processes using NH3. This combination reduces the temperature to a range of 550� F. to 750� F., which is convenient because it is the temperature of the gas leaving the economizer in a typical furnace. Various systems and processes are described in the prior art for carrying out a selective catalytic reduction of NOx, as well as various catalysts that can be used.
All of the above gas treating systems circulate or pass all of the stack gas through the catalyst bed and then discharge it to the atmosphere. No commercial SCR processes are used on coal-fired boilers in the U.S., although many large installations are in use in Japan. In Japan, the NOx is not normally reduced by more than 40 to 80 percent as it passes through the catalyst bed. Ammonia is added to the NOx in the flue gas in a mole ratio (NH3 /NOx) of approximately 0.45 to 0.85 to obtain the required reduction. After passing through the catalyst bed, the stack gas is normally passed to an air preheater or similar device to increase the overall efficiency of the boiler. On coal-fired systems this requires that the NH3 be held to a low level, typically 5 ppm or less, to prevent sticky fly ash deposits of ammonia salts and plugging in the air preheater. The low level of NH3 requires a large amount of catalyst to ensure complete reaction of NH3 and NOx .
From the above brief description of selective catalytic reduction systems on coal-fired boilers, it can be seen that the need to maintain the residual NH3 at low levels requires large amounts of catalyst. This is expensive both in capital cost and in operating cost, and it would be desirable to reduce these costs by reducing the amount of catalyst required.
The present invention reduces the cost of catalyst by treating only a portion of the flue gas and then recombining the treated portion with the remainder of the flue gas. The system splits the stack gas stream into two streams, with one of the streams being processed through the SCR unit where the NOx is reduced to a very low level; i.e., the percentage NOx reduction is large. This stream is then recombined with the second stream and passed through the air preheater and then discharged to the atmosphere. By reducing the NOx level of the processed stream to a low level, the NOx level of the recombined stream will be reduced to desired levels without exceeding allowable concentrations of residual ammonia.
The SCR unit which treats the processed stream can be considerably smaller than the unit required if the complete stack gas flow was passed through the SCR unit. This is because the smaller SCR unit treats the gas to a higher level of NOx removal than a full-size SCR unit. Since the unit is smaller the amount of the required catalyst and the expense is substantially reduced.
The invention thus improves the efficiency of operation of the SCR unit since, when the complete stack gas flow is passed through the SCR unit, the NOx reduction of the unit is limited or controlled by the NH3 limits of the air preheater. This limit is normally in the range of 5 parts per million or less. In contrast, with the bypass arrangement of the present invention, the NH3 in the treated gas is diluted to lower concentration (5 parts per million maximum) by mixing the treated and untreated portions before heat exchange in the air preheater; hence the controlling factor is the desired amount of NOx reduction. Thus, the residual NH3 leaving the SCR unit can be higher than 5 parts per million, the limit imposed by the air preheater.
The present invention will be more easily understood from the following description when taken in conjunction with the attached drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a conventional SCR NOx reduction system.
FIG. 2 shows the SCR NOx reduction system of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a conventional SCR unit for reducing NOx emissions. As shown, it is assumed that the stack discharges 1 million standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) of gas and 300 SCFM of NOx. It is desired to reduce the NOx to 180 SCFM, or a reduction of 40 percent while the gas entering the downstream air preheater is limited to a 5 parts per million maximum of NH3.
Over the temperature range in which the combustion of NH3 is small, NH3 reacts with NOx in the following relationship:
4NH3 +4NOx +O2 →6H2 O+4N2
From this it can be seen that the NOx and NH3 react on a straight mole-to-mole relationship. If 120 SCFM of NOx is to be removed from the flue gas, one will be required to add 120 SCFM of NH3 plus the allowed excess of NH3. Since the NH3 carryover is limited to 5 parts per million the allowed excess is 5 SCFM, giving a total of 125 SCFM of NH3.
Experiments have shown that the NH3 and NOx reduction across the SCR catalyst bed is equal; i.e., the moles of NH3 consumed equal the moles of NOx reduced. Also, the reaction is first order; i.e., the fraction of NH3 or NOx (whichever is in lowest concentration) reacted is independent of the concentration, e.g. in FIG. 1, the component of the reacting pair in lowest concentration is NH3. A stage of catalyst can be defined as typically 0.0088 cubic feet of catalyst per SCFM of gas. For a typical catalyst of good activity, i.e., one which provides 60 percent reduction per stage, the NH3 and NOx concentrations across a reactor containing 4 stages would be:
______________________________________Stage 1 2 3 4______________________________________NH3 in, 125 50 20 8 3.2ppmNOx in, 300 225 195 183 178.2ppmΔNH3, 75 30 12 4.8ppmΔNOx, 75 30 12 4.8ppmΔNH3, 60 60 60 60ΔNOx, 25 13.3 6.2 2.6%______________________________________
The cumulative fractional reduction, RN, of the NH3 for N stages is given by 1n(1-RN)=N 1n(1-RN=1), where RN=1 is the fractional reduction with one stage. Substituting and solving:
SCR stages=1n(1-120/125)/1n(1-0.6)=3.51
Further, the catalyst volume can be shown to be equal to:
Cat. Vol.=3.51�1�106 �0.0088=30,997 ft3
The conventional system thus requires a structure containing 30,997 cubic feet of catalyst, plus a flue gas fan capable of processing 1,000,000 SCFM of gas through the catalyst bed.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown the process of the present invention in which a portion of the flue gas is processed through the SCR system while the remainder of the flue gas bypasses the SCR system. In particular, approximately 42 percent of the flue gas is passed through the SCR system where its NOx level is reduced from 300 to approximately 12 parts per million. Since the fraction of reduction of NH3 (and NOx in this case) is the same (96%) as in FIG. 1, the number of required SCR stages is the same 3.51. The catalyst volume is calculated:
Cat. Vol.=3.51�416,667�0.0088=12,914 ft3
When this catalyst volume is compared with the figures using the straight through system, it is seen that it is only approximately 42 percent of the previous system. Similarly, the fan horsepower is reduced significantly since the reactor pressure drop is supplied for only 42 percent of the flue gas.
When the processed portion of the flue gas is recombined with the mainstream prior to entering the air preheater, it is seen that the NOx has been reduced to 180 ppm the same as with the conventional system. Of course, if the NOx level is to be reduced to a lower level, more flue gas would have to be sent through the SCR processing system. In the example used, the net result of using the bypass is an overall saving in the cost of processing of approximately 58 percent of the flue gas. Not only is 58 percent of the catalyst saved, but the overall size, and thus the cost of the SCR system, is also reduced.

These days, I'm spending more time reading magazines because I discovered the Boston Public Library's digital magazine service.
It's another one of the free services included in your Boston Public Library Card. Once you finish the steps to get started with the service, you can browse the newsstand and read the latest issue and a few of the back issues right on your desktop or laptop.
If you want to read on your mobile device, you can download the appropriate app and have reading material on hand wherever you are.
I love the option to be notified when a new issue of a favorite magazine is available. I'm using that service for the New Yorker and Saveur right now. This week I enjoyed all the cartoons and a few of the articles in the New Yorker.
When they announced this service, the Library said,
"Boston Public Library now provides library cardholders free access to popular magazines via a digital magazine service, making more than 100 popular English and Spanish language magazines instantly available. The online resource Zinio offers the ability to check out and download titles like National Geographic, ESPN the Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and Newsweek, and is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and computers. Zinio features complete, full-color magazines with intuitive navigation, keyword article search, and interactive audio and video elements.
"Boston Public Library is pleased to offer this new resource," said Michael Colford, Director of Library Services. "It is a convenient, free, no-waiting option that appeals to avid magazine readers as well as those who prefer to consume their news and information in digital form."
Cardholders can reach the service via the "collections" section of the Boston Public Library website. Library users log in with their Boston Public Library card and then create a library collection account and a Zinio.com reader account. In addition, users have the option of downloading a Zinio app."
If you don't have a Boston Public Library Card, get one. You might not know that you qualify for a BPL card.
Here's the official word on who is eligible:
"You are eligible for a library card if you are:
- a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
- a Massachusetts property owner
- commute to Massachusetts for work
- residing in Massachusetts while attending school
- a resident of temporary housing in Massachusetts
- Library users from outside Massachusetts may apply for a research card for the purpose of using Research Library materials (in-library use only)."

The upstairs here is sort of a Lounge. It's got a huge table and tons of seating.
The upstairs lounge area is great. A little bit of a low ceiling, but it's pretty nice, sort of like what you look for in a Starbucks. EMPTY in the AM.
Cool spot if you want a break from the neon insanity that is Vegas! Bonus: coffee house on the first floor.
If you've got a little one - get em groomed here! Karolyn and her staff designed this place from the ground up to entertain and engage kids while they get prettified!
Add beets to any juice you drink. They are sweet enough that you probably won't notice and hella healthy. (I heard)
Little Frankie is a living, breathing good luck charm. Stop in here and get him to pick out your scratch offs!
Corkscrew has the fastest open wifi connection in the vicinity. They also serve some great wines - all around win!!!!!
Do not sit here in a rush. I waited 32 minutes before anyone brought water / came by to take my order!
"always ask for Marco.". Why? Because he's kind enough to point out that you left your MacBook pro at the coffee machine!!!! Thanks Marco!
If you are looking to camp out and get some work done, keep walking! They covered most if not all of the outlets!
Stop in any time between now and may 10th for a free Gotham Roast or Vince's Revolver on @gothamnyc! Just mention this tip, my name and leave a business card! (if you have one with you)
Edie Falco's mom works here! Totally looks like Carmella.
It's a Starbucks! There's another tip here claiming a clean bathroom. That's not something you see every day. Regardless, if you were going to get pizza next door, turn away. Drink espresso.
Turn away! Everything is sort of gross here.
Stop in to the Gotham office. We <3 visitors! (no, really. Please do! It's lonely in here!) say hi to Mindy and Jenni!
Check out "Gumption" featuring works by Keegan McHargue, Gary Panter, Melissa Brown and others!
Go here whenever Sarah is on duty. She's the tiny redhead who's hair is rapidly approximating Robert Smiths mane. She's also ex- @GothamNYC and made of awesome! Meet Sarah Booze!
