Recently, I've been inspired by several inmates on this forum to get my a$$ moving on doing the Trans America Trail. I'm not getting any younger, so I'm starting to plan with the hopes of doing it in late August - September of this year, unless a Big Job comes up. I need to think more about the dates. This thread is the beginning. Hopefully by the end, I'll have lots to share. There are several things I'd like to try with this ride report, when it gets underway: 1. REAL TIME POSTS (or as close to it, as possible). I've tried and failed miserably to retell a ride report after coming back home in the past, and once I'm home, I get all comfy and lazy or super busy with work, and it never happens. Mostly because I just don't remember the details or chronological order of events. 2. COME WITH. I'd love to ride with a posse. If anyone is interested to ride parts of the trail with me, I'd welcome it. 3. OFF THE TRAIL (SMELL THE FLOWERS). I like making good time and being efficient, but I understand theres some grand sites that are close to but off the trail that I might want to see, so would like to work that into the trip. If anyone can recommend, I'm all ears. Here's a taste: TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. EAST TO WEST Liaison (NEW YORK to TENNESEE) 8/22 (Ny - Va) 8/23 (Va - Nc) 8/24 (Nc - Tn) Eastern TAT (TENNESSEE to OKLAHOMA) 8/25 8/26 8/27 (Tn - Ms) 8/28 8/29 (Ms - Ar) 8/30 8/31 (Ar - Ok) 9/01 Western TAT (NEW MEXICO to OREGON) 9/02 (Ok - Nm - Co) 9/03 9/04 9/05 (Co - Ut) 9/06 9/07 9/08 (Ut - Nv) 9/09 9/10 9/11 9/12 9/13 (Nv - Or - Ca) 9/14 (Ca - Or) 9/15 9/16 9/17 9/18 2.

I don't know? I was thinking maybe 175-225? Really don't have a point of reference except for a couple of years ago when my target was 450-500 miles per day trying to get from NYC to LA. That ended with a totaled bike, so I've learned my lesson with strict mileage and timeframes. Have you done the whole TAT? If so what are you thinking? I'm not a noob anymore, so my speeds are higher than a couple of seasons ago offroad.
If you do have a time factor then start in the pan handle of OK. Don't think by riding w/ someone you'll be safer. Get to know your riding partner & learn about him or her from others too. This is a very good ride & you'll not want a selfish bastard setting a stupid pace. Or learn you now have a leech as well as a bastard. You'll have more fun at your relaxed pace. Good luck.
Picked up a couple of thing for testing and prep: Acer aspire d255 netbook and 12v charger, a contourHD helmet cam. Gonna go riding in the pines tomorrow, so that'll give me an excuse to test this baby out.
Hmmm... Time is one thing, but should I skip the eastern part of it, since I hear it is mostly gravel, and lot of it is being paved? I know OK is straight up flat gravel that goes on for milescould be boring? Not sure.
Got a new toy to test out today. By the way, this post is 100 percent iPhone generated. From the picture to the post. Gotta get use to doing this.
Got one today too: Contour GPS....help, help..... Show me how to upload and post here....pleeezzzzz! I'll buy you a sixer of the finest brewski!
I'll share what I know what I figure it all out. I've got Windows Netbook on the way, which I plan on using on the trip, though I'm a 99% Mac User. Assume you are using a PC?
Si...quit iMAC ....now a PC'er :eek1. It isn't the 'puter but the upload to youTube takes f-o-r-e-v-er. Loading onto Smugmug after youTube is done is fine.
Good to hear you are still riding. My couch is still available if you come through here. I rode the TAT right after you was here so maybe I can help out. What are you riding now?

Hi Jerry. Hows it going? I'm still alive despite all my crashing I remember the second crash in Kansas, you emailed something to the effect of maybe hanging up the boots.. Nah.. if you're not crashing you're not learning, and lets just say that I've crashed many times since then. I'm on a WR250R.
I haven't switched. I'm using Windows Netbook for this since its cheaper,lighter and all the software I need are native (Garmin Mapsource). Hmm, I'll let you know when I cross that Youtube bridge.
The post lady stopped by and dropped this off. The testing begins. The videos I tested this weekend plays back all choppy on my computer. Not sure what's up with that. Shouldnt need a raid drive. The camera was set at the lowest resolution. Any ways another piece of the puzzles is in place.
Spent much of last couple of evenings working on figuring out what the hell was wrong with the netbook. It just kept freezing. After some frustrations, finally figured out that I needed to update the bios. I can't believe that manufacturers don't point these things out. It takes people digging through forums to figure it out. If you're mom and pop forget about it. Ok rant over. Look what the nice post lady dropped off. Another important puzzle piece.

I didn't want to see this movie. I took one look at the title and figured it was either (a) a sequel to Toenails of Vengeance, or (b) an adventure pitting Ricky Schroder against the Megaloth Man. I was completely wrong. "The Karate Kid" was one of the nice surprises of 1984 -- an exciting, sweet-tempered, heart-warming story with one of the most interesting friendships in a long time. The friends come from different worlds. A kid named Daniel (Ralph Macchio) is a New Jersey teenager who moves with his mother to Los Angeles. An old guy named Miyagi (Pat Morita) is the Japanese janitor in their apartment building. When Daniel starts to date the former girlfriend of the toughest kid in the senior class, the kid starts pounding on Daniel's head on a regular basis. Daniel tries to fight back, but this is a Southern California kid, and so of course he has a black belt in karate. Enter Mr. Miyagi, who seems to be a harmless old eccentric with a curious hobby: He tries to catch flies with chopsticks. It turns out that Miyagi is a karate master, a student not only of karate fighting but of the total philosophy of the martial arts. He agrees to take Daniel as his student.
And then begins the wonderful center section of "The Karate Kid," as the old man and the kid from Jersey become friends. Miyagi's system of karate instruction is offbeat, to say the least. He puts Daniel to work shining cars, painting fences, scrubbing the bottoms of pools. Daniel complains that he isn't learning karate, he's acting as free labor. But there is a system to Mr. Miyagi's training.
"The Karate Kid" was directed by John G. Avildsen, who made "Rocky." It ends with the same sort of climactic fight scene; Daniel faces his enemies in a championship karate tournament. But the heart of this movie isn't in the fight sequences, it's in the relationships. And in addition to Daniel's friendship with Miyagi, there's also a sweet romantic liaison with Ali (Elisabeth Shue), who is your standard girl from the right side of town and has the usual snobbish parents.
Macchio is an unusual, interesting choice for Daniel. He's not the basic handsome Hollywood teenager but a thin, tall, intense kid with a way of seeming to talk to himself. His delivery always sounds natural, even offhand; he never seems to be reading a line. He's a good, sound, interesting lead, but the movie really belongs to Pat Morita, an actor who has been around a long time (he was Arnold on "Happy Days") without ever having a role anywhere near this good. Morita makes Miyagi into an example of applied serenity. In a couple of scenes where he has to face down a hostile karate coach, Miyagi's words are so carefully chosen they don't give the other guy any excuse to get violent; Miyagi uses the language as carefully as his hands or arms to ward off blows and gain an advantage. It's refreshing to see a completely original character like this old man. "The Karate Kid" is a sleeper with a title that gives you the wrong idea: It's one of 1984's best movies.

Hi there,
I'm developing a Cascades application that consumes an XML feed of live transport information. It involves presenting information from the feed in a ListView. Unfortunately, while I can connect the data model to the list view, I don't seem to be able to access the items in the model using the ListItemData.name syntax.
I have a class that inherits from GroupDataModel. Inside the class, I parse the XML feed and create a QVariantMap containing the relevant keys and values.
This is what the QVariantMap looks like when I print it with qDebug():
QMap(("Destination", QVariant(QString, "Howth") ) ( "Destinationtime" , QVariant(QString, "23:04") ) ( "Direction" , QVariant(QString, "Northbound") ) ( "Duein" , QVariant(QString, "10") ) ( "Exparrival" , QVariant(QString, "22:18") ) ( "Expdepart" , QVariant(QString, "22:18") ) ( "Lastlocation" , QVariant(QString, "Arrived Dalkey") ) ( "Late" , QVariant(QString, "0") ) ( "Locationtype" , QVariant(QString, "S") ) ( "Origin" , QVariant(QString, "Bray") ) ( "Querytime" , QVariant(QString, "22:08:55") ) ( "Scharrival" , QVariant(QString, "22:18") ) ( "Schdepart" , QVariant(QString, "22:18") ) ( "Servertime" , QVariant(QString, "2012-05-21T22:08:55.377") ) ( "Stationcode" , QVariant(QString, "SEAPT") ) ( "Stationfullname" , QVariant(QString, "Seapoint") ) ( "Status" , QVariant(QString, "En Route") ) ( "Traincode" , QVariant(QString, "E937 ") ) ( "Traindate" , QVariant(QString, "21 May 2012") ) ( "Traintype" , QVariant(QString, "DART") ) )
Every time I have parsed a section of XML, I insert the QVariantMap into the GroupDataModel as follows:
where parseStation() is a method that returns a QVariantMap and xml is a QXmlStreamReader object.
Elsewhere, I connected the data model to the ListView like so:
ListView *trainList = mStationInfo->findChild<ListView*>("trainList"); StationModel *mStationModel = new StationModel(this); trainList->setDataModel(mStationModel);
The Qml associated with the trainList ListView widget looks like this:
ListView { id: trainList objectName: "trainList" dataModel: XmlDataModel { source: "models/stations.xml" } listItemComponents: [ ListItemComponent { type: "listItem" StandardListItem { titleText: ListItemData.Destination descriptionText: ListItemData.Traincode statusText: ListItemData.Duein } } ] }
The only thing that shows up in the ListView is the Destination attribute.
Does anybody have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
I'm going to reply to my own question.
I solved the problem. There wouldn't have been a problem in the first place if I had read the documentation more closely, but I do love to dive in as soon as possible, and the solution was not to be found in the Cascades Lists tutorial.
You have to implement an itemType function in javascript withing the ListView to tell it what type of list item to use for each item in the data model.
Everything started working when I included this:
// itemType mapping function itemType(data, indexPath) { if (indexPath.length == 1) { return "header"; } return "listItem"; }
The index path length is 1 for the headers because I used the "Destination" key in the QMap as the first sorting key..
this->setSortingKeys(QStringList() << "Direction" << "Duein");
It turns out the GroupDataModel was mapped to the ListView perfectly. The problem was in the QML. Hopefully posting the answer here will help someone else who runs into the same problem.

Two types of suspected lead fishing weights have been recovered. There is also the possibility that these weights were used as counter-balances for scales, or plumb bobs for surveying. The second type forms a rolled tube and is more likely to be net sinkers. Forty of these were found in close association on the shipwreck.

KU journalism professor Guth placed on leave as school reviews comment he made on Twitter on shootings
Given how you yourself characterize his comments it is more likely that whatever the students are getting is an upgrade.

Senate Majority Leader Bruce calls on KU to fire journalism professor over Twitter comment on Navy Yard shooting
I can't disagree with Mr. Guth more. I am a little disappointed that he can't show a little intellectual honesty and admit that his statements were in fact wishful of harm on others; "Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters". Beyond that his words were ghoulish and his beliefs are misguided. I am discouraged that someone who is in a position of influence within the School of Journalism at the University of Kansas would take such a simplistic approach to such a complex issue. The 2nd amendment is as clear in its protection of the individual's right to keep and bear arms as the first amendment is in its protection of his right to say what he wishes in the media and at the time of his choosing, without the threat of interference or imprisonment by the government. That being said an employer may terminate an employee for behavior that brings detriment to the organization. If they believe that his presence at the University, in light of his comments, is more detrimental than his value to the University they have all of the right in the world to terminate their relationship with him. That being said I absolutely do not advocate his termination. I would however never spend a dime of my money sending my children to the KU School of journalism.

Education commissioner to respond to Kansas GOP resolution on Common Core standards
Simple answer is neither. Both are prone to their own bias. All should take the time to educate themselves and make up their own minds. There is entirely too much follow the leader going on with regard to political issues. Both sides rely on hyperbole, misinformation and the ignorance of the general populous in order to manipulate the political landscape. The solutions are to educate yourself and for the government to stop interfering with choice in education.

Lawrence wants property to house multimillion dollar police headquarters
If it is going to be done then a new building makes the only sense. The use is too unique to try to retrofit it into an existing structure. As for location, I believe building it on the current site's parking lot makes the most sense. Then tear down the old building once completed and turn it into parking. What else is the old facility going to be good for?

Editorial: Dangerous fork
NO! Are we kidding? There is no lesser evil here. Both sides of this civil war are evil to the core. At least the Assad regime has been less than anti-American. In the absence of a pro-American or at least a pro-Liberty side to this war there is no place for US military intervention. If we bomb them what will actually be accomplished? We run the risk of collateral damage for no gain. Lastly, every politician has promised no "boots on the ground". If this intervention isn't worth risking American lives then it is not in our interests to take part. The President is flat wrong and his "red line" shows what a foreign policy neophyte he really is.

Brownback's office redacts names of Court of Appeals candidates from his schedule
The public has no right to know who is applying for public jobs. Until they become a candidate they are still private citizens. The veil of privacy extends to them until such time as they accept a job or an appointment. That is the case with any State job, applicants names are not a matter of public record.
As for who decides who the best candidates is, that is up to the guy that ran for and won the election for Governor. The decision as to the best candidate is a matter of discretion and you clearly would choose anyone but who the Governor chose so what can you really offer to this situation. It will be up to the duly elected legislature to consent to the appointment or not. That's the way our system works.

Brownback's office redacts names of Court of Appeals candidates from his schedule
The reason the names are exempted is because of privacy laws pertaining to those applicants. In order to get around that the candidates would have to agree to have their names released. Until they become appointees they are entitled to that privacy and you and I don't have a right to know that they applied. If one of them felt they were more qualified and wished to dispute the appointment they have all the right in the world to come forward publicly on their own. There is nothing stopping that. You just want to embarrass those candidates in order to hurt the Governor.

Brownback's office redacts names of Court of Appeals candidates from his schedule
"...individually identifiable records pertaining to employees or applicants for employment, except that this exemption shall not apply to the names, positions, salaries or actual compensation employment contracts or employment-related contracts or agreements and lengths of service of officers and employees of public agencies once they are employed as such."
Everyone here so far act as though he has a choice here. He is following the letter and the intent of the Open Records act to the letter. The law is very clearly stated. These records are not public, including the names of applicants, until such time as one is employed by the State. This isn't about transparency or politics. He is not President Obama who ignores laws he doesn't like or tries to create laws he hasn't the authority to create. The candidates that applied or were nominated for this position have the right to their privacy. How would you like your current boss to know that you are looking for a new job? Anyone trying to make this a political issue in the face of facts are hacks and can't be taken seriously, ever.

Appeals court knocks down Montana law similar to Kansas' Second Amendment Protection Act
Never mind his willingness to completely disregard his oath of office where he failed to enforce existing immigration laws and went so far as to instruct immigration agencies and agents not to do their jobs or making recess appointments to the NLRB when the Senate wasn't in recess. What about his willingness to ignore the Affordable Care law that he signed. He behaves as though he has latitude in implementing a law where no such latitude exists. The executive branch is responsible for enforcing and defending all laws whether they approve of them or not. There is no discretion here. Discretion is for monarchies and I thought that was exactly what this country was founded against?

Using fuzzer tools to find vulnerabilities
Fuzzers are excellent tools for finding vulnerabilities in your software. They can be used legitimately by a developer or maliciously by a hacker. Expert Brad Arkin explains how to use fuzzers in order to enhance security.

submit a large number of inputs to the test target with the goal of identifying inputs that produce malicious or interesting results. For example, a fuzzer testing the login screen for a Web application would submit hundreds or even thousands of login attempts with a variety of potentially malicious input strings including cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and very long inputs.
The fuzzer records the response of the application to each input for the tester (or attacker) to review later. A fuzzing tool is one of the first steps in the test process and is followed up by further manual testing guided by the output of the fuzzer.
Fuzzers are a great tool to use when trying to discover security vulnerabilities. This makes them valuable to attackers as well as software developers and legitimate testers. A good security test plan will specify when and how fuzzers and other automated security test tools should be employed.
Fuzzers can help find and fix security bugs during the development and test phase when it is much cheaper to do so. This is much better than waiting for an attacker to find the security vulnerabilities after the software is released to production.

OITNB S01E11 – Recap 'Tall Men With Feelings'
***Spoilers ahead -Don't Cry; you've been warned.***
Episode 11 opens with Mendez cleaning out Tricia's cubicle, but the inmates are staring him down. Before he can touch one more thing, Red pipes up. They'll take it from here.
Bennett, Dayanara and Aleida meet in secret to try and figure out how the hell they're going to explain Daya's pregnancy. Bennett suggests she requests a furlough, citing a made-up relative's death. Aleida is skeptical, but Bennett points out they don't really have any other options.
Larry still isn't returning Piper's calls, and she has to find out through Nicky that he's even going on the radio. Feeling legitimately sad about Tricia's death, Piper decides to organize a memorial service.
Pennsatucky is locked up in the psych ward, and it's clear her psychologist thinks she's really insane–especially considering she keeps ranting about being "chosen."
The prison guards are called upon to respond to Tricia's death, but no one cares (what a shock!). After the staff meeting, Mendez invites Bennett out for a drink, and after some hesitation, he agrees.
Alex is the only one to show up to help organize the memorial service, and Piper thinks she's the only one who cares. Crazy Eyes shows up to clean the chapel, singing "vanilla and vanilla, swirl swirl," then imparts some advice to Piper about complimenting a girl's titties, and naturally, this leads us to a flashback…
We see Alex and Piper at the end of their relationship, living it up in a luxurious condo in Europe. When Alex tries to coax Piper into being a mule again, Piper snaps and breaks up with her.
Red, having figured out the pregnancy, tries to convince Daya to fuck Mendez in order to claim rape and save face (otherwise, they would never grant her furlough in time). She lays out what will happen to her and Bennett if this doesn't get solved. Daya considers it, but doesn't say yes.
Piper falls while Crazy Eyes is waxing the floor in the hallway and injures her knee. After some trepidation, Piper accepts some help from her in getting up and getting back to her cubicle, and for once, Crazy Eyes actually respects her boundaries. They talk, and Crazy Eyes reveals how psych is worse than the SHU, and that she's pretty much the only one who can be in and out (on account of having some lucid periods). However, everyone else in psych (like… oh… Pennsatucky?) is pretty much stuck there forever. Then, in one of the most heartbreaking moments in the whole season, she asks why everyone calls her Crazy Eyes.
A huge group, including Big Boo, Nicky, Morello, Sister Ingalls, and Alex, have gathered in Tricia's cubicle for an impromptu party after receiving lots of comfort food. Piper finds them celebrating Tricia's life and–her faith in humanity restored–joins in the drinking, laughing, and grieving.
At the bar, Mendez and Bennett bond. Mendez is quite drunk, and after getting rude with a couple of girls, exposes a more vulnerable side to himself. He wonders if the inmates ever consider that he actually has feelings. After receiving a drunken hug, Bennett gets him home.
A hungover Piper is gearing up for Larry's interview, but she feels guilty about Pennsatucky. Despite Alex's protests, she decides to right her wrong.
In another flashback, Piper is getting ready to leave for the States, and Alex tells her that she just found out that her mom died. Even though she is sorry for Alex's grief, she does not change her mind, and leaves Alex alone.
Daya and Bennett stress out together over the pregnancy, but after the subject is changed, Bennett reveals to Daya how emotional Mendez was the night before. At this point, we have to wonder if she'll be able to go through with it.
But, we don't have to wonder long. She chats up Mendez as Piper goes to fill out an official report to get Pennsatucky out of psych. Piper gets a light punishment of two weeks janitorial duty for her prank. Daya goes to Red to tell her a definite "yes," and then Red and Nicky coach her on exactly how it has to go (a la Monica Lewinsky).
Alex and Piper cuddle, and have a super heartfelt moment… and then it's time for Larry's interview. Just about everyone in the prison is listening, except for Mendez and Daya, who have ducked into the janitor's closet to do the deed.
Larry reveals things Piper has said about Crazy Eyes, Ms. Claudette, Morello, Nicky, and Red, most of which is not sunshine and rainbows. This is inter-cut with Daya and Mendez, but surprise! He brought a condom, and Daya has no choice but to comply. Then Larry reveals–without outright saying it (although it's super obvious)–how he feels about Piper and Alex. The "oh crap" expression is plastered across Piper's face as she merely says, "He knows."
Piper tries to get on the phone, but it's not yet phone hours. Meanwhile, nearly everyone is pissed (including Ms. Claudette) for the shit she said. And, oh yeah, Pennsatucky is back, and we all know she's not going to be in a forgiving mood.
Piper and Larry finally talk. They are both angry and hurt, but the kicker is when Piper is forced to admit that she loves Alex. In retaliation, Larry tells Piper that Alex really had named her (in her trial). He then says he needs some time, and doesn't know if Piper can outright fix such a sticky situation.
He hangs up, and she is alone.

The purpose of cell division is to create a new daughter cell with a complete set of DNA copied from the parent cell, a process that occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. For the daughter cells to work properly, their copy of DNA must be an exact copy. If an error happens, then the unlucky daughter cell will make the wrong protein. If that protein is an enzyme, then far more things may not work properly in the cell. So how does the parent cell make an exact copy of its DNA for the daughter cell?
If you think about the shape of the DNA molecule, the first step seems as obvious as making a photocopy from a book. The DNA molecule has to be uncoiled. This step is accomplished by the enzyme helicase. Helicase uncoils the DNA molecule by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two strands. Helicase has the root that means helix, which is the shape of DNA.
The next step does the same thing as opening a book to the page that you want to copy, then laying it on the copier. The DNA molecule has to be unzipped, then the section of DNA which has to be copied must be read. This step is performed by the enzyme polymerase. Polymerase pulls the halves of DNA apart, then reads the nucleic bases, whether it is adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine.
Now here is the tricky part. Polymerase starts with the leading strand, starting at the end of the DNA molecule's leading strand, and reading the nucleic bases one-by-one until polymerase reaches the other end.
As polymerase reads the nucleic bases, it pulls complimentary bases in to make a base pair. If polymerase reads thymine, it pulls in thymine's complimentary base, adenine, making the base pair thymine-adenine. If polymerase reads guanine, it pulls in guanine's complimentary base, cytosine, making the base pair guanine-cytosine. And for adenine, thymine is pulled in and paired with the base. For cytosine, guanine is paired with the base.
What about the other strand? Isn't DNA made of two strands? Another polymerase starts reading the other strand. This strand is called the lagging strand because polymerase reads this strand second. The polymerase on the lagging strand makes base pairs in the same manner as the polymerase on the leading strand works. Well, there is one difference. The polymerase working on the lagging strand works discontinuously. The polymerase on the lagging strand adds bases to one section of the strand at one place, jumps ahead to add bases to a different section of the lagging strand. Then it may jump behind to add bases there. Its jumping all over the place on the lagging strand, making base pairs.
Once both polymerases have reached the end, the parent cell has two new DNA molecules, perfect copies of the original. Well at least most of the time. In several million copies, error, or mutations, do occur.

WASHINGTON— FROM diapers to fast-food packaging, plastics have long been reviled by the environmentally conscious for their propensity to sit in landfills for decades without breaking down.
Yet some say the pollutants and waste created in the process of manufacturing plastics pose a greater environmental threat than what happens to them after they have been discarded.
The United States plastics industry generated 567 million pounds of toxic waste in 1992, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, which began recording the levels of industry waste in 1991. About one-quarter of the plastic industry's 1992 waste was released directly into the nation's land, air and water.
Now Joseph DeSimone -- an associate professor at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill who at 30 is a Wunderkind of chemical engineering -- has come up with an environmentally friendly way to make the polymers that are formed into plastics by using a form of carbon dioxide, the benign gas found in carbonated beverages ranging from beer to champagne.
The process, Professor DeSimone says, holds great potential for lessening the environmental burden, but perhaps just as important is the promise it offers for creating new materials "whose use we haven't yet imagined."
Professor DeSimone, who published a paper on the new process this summer in the journal Science, presented his research last month at the American Chemical Society's national meeting in Washington.
The work already has generated a lot of interest in the chemical industry. So far, four companies -- Du Pont, Hoechst Celanese, Air Products and Chemicals, and Eastman Chemical -- are participating in a consortium that is financing further research in Professor DeSimone's laboratory. Several other companies are expected to sign on to the consortium soon. In exchange for underwriting the research, the companies retain the option to license different aspects of the technology, which received its first patent in May.
For Professor DeSimone, success has come early. He received his doctorate only four years ago at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, and last year he was among 15 American scientists whom the White House named Presidential Faculty Fellows.
To continue his work with so-called supercritical carbon dioxide -- a pressurized form of the gas that has some unusual liquid-like properties -- this year Professor DeSimone received one of the first grants to be given out under the Environmentally Benign Chemical Synthesis and Processing program, a new effort jointly administered by the National Science Foundation, the main Federal financing agency for basic science research, and the E.P.A.
The first supercritical fluid was concocted more than 100 years ago, but supercritical fluids did not command attention until the 1970's, when they were widely touted as a way to reduce energy consumption by replacing chemical solvents, most of which are petroleum-based and take enormous amounts of energy to distill.
The unique properties of supercritical fluids can make them ideal solvents. By changing the amount of pressure or the temperature, a chemist can adjust the fluid's density -- that is, how closely its molecules are packed together -- and therefore how well it might dissolve a given substance. By contrast, the density of the liquid is fixed and cannot be manipulated.
Although the food industry has made use of supercritical carbon dioxide to decaffeinate coffee, purify spices and extract oils from hops to make beer, the supercritical bandwagon lost momentum by the early 1980's. By then the energy crisis had receded from memory and it had become abundantly clear that, given the expensive equipment needed to pressurize supercritical fluids, petroleum-based solvents were still the cheapest way to go.
BUT in the last couple of years, supercritical fluids, in particular carbon dioxide, have been resurrected, this time not as energy savers but as environmental saviors in an era when industry generally faces increased regulatory scrutiny on the production of hazardous byproducts.
"Supercritical carbon dioxide is an exciting area because it's nonpolluting," said Margaret A. Cavanaugh, a program director in the division of chemistry at the National Science Foundation. "If you can find a way for it to be used in a lot of chemical processes, it would be a major reduction in the use of petroleum solvents."
Currently, huge quantities of chemical solvents are used by the pharmaceutical, chemical and polymer industries to extract, separate and manufacture chemicals and to carry out or ease reactions.
In one example of the way supercritical carbon dioxide can be used in place of chemical solvents, Union Carbide now uses it as a thinner for industrial spray-painting. As a result, the company has reduced hazardous emissions associated with that process by as much as 80 percent.
Professor DeSimone, however, is pursuing what some consider a more difficult end: using supercritical carbon dioxide not just to dilute or extract, but to effect entirely new chemical reactions.
