I don't believe that Socialism is inherently evil, but rather that it is misguided, and that there is the potential for serious abuse in its execution. Universal Health care sounds good, but can you name any ground breaking procedures or medicines that have come out of a country with a socialized health care system?
It is my opinion that denying freedom is evil, but some countries are struggling with it just as we are - to differing degrees of success. That does not mean the people are evil, but the system is.
I long for the days when our President actually liked our country.

02-17-2009, 03:06 PMGo live in an EU country or Canada; their taxes are much higher than ours. Their health care system is terrible plus being bankrupt. For example, waiting 6 months for an operation. Their standard of living is lower than ours. Millions of people from these regions would love to come to America for its opportunities. Conclusion, why in the hell would we want to emulate other countries? If you can not answer the question, you are one dumb ass liberal.

02-17-2009, 03:40 PMSorry, but your "for worse" applies equally to Europe.
People were enslaved in Europe for centuries. Slavery in the New World was supported and encouraged by European powers who continued to exploit the need for labor in the United States. Serfdom was a way of life for many Europeans until well into the 19th century when it was mostly abolished.
As for pollution, Europe was the origin of the industrial revolution, when mankind realized he could convert work into energy. Coal burning was at its most inefficient during this time, releasing tons of pollutants into the air. Not only that, but with the smaller size of Europe and comparable population, early industries - paper, inks, tanning - had a much higher effect per person on the environment Europe than we have today in the United States.

02-17-2009, 04:07 PMSure, I don't agree/like socialism like most everyone on this forum, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to be allies with the not-so-hardcore of the socialists. Don't we, with our new president, have some socialist policies and are pushing for some more that may have other countries viewing us as socialists? Even in WWII, we allied with the Soviet Union to defeat Germany. Sometimes we have to give up our pure capitalist ideals in extreme situations such as WWII to defeat a common enemy.
"Time makes more converts than reason."
-Thomas Paine
A reporter did a man on the street type segment in the poorest congressional district in America, the Bronx. He asked the people on the street what their biggest concern was. The overwhelming majority said their biggest concern was not enough cable channels. That tells you how hard we have it here.
I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

You might want to give up some your capitalist ideals but I don't. The lefties on this board have not answered a fundamental question I have posed. Why would you want to emulate failed policies of the EU with sky high taxes, poor health care (waiting 6 months for an operation), loss of gun rights, loss of free speech (it's a crime in Canada to speak ill of queers), etc? Only a stupid fucking liberal would.

Religious & Civil Liberties
Religious & Civil Liberties
Affirming justice, equity and compassion in human relations, Unitarian Universalists oppose discrimination based on ability, gender, race, sexual orientation, and other identities, and believe equal access to and participation in the democratic process to be an essential civil right of all U.S. citizens.
Affirming the inherent worth of every person and the right of conscience, we also believe that humans flourish under responsible liberty, and thus support civil liberties—the right to freedom from government harassment, whether based on religion or otherwise.

Burning question - good tailor in Montreal, after sporadic searches and recommendations from different sources the question remains unanswered.
Personal experience with one of the recommendations - Nick tailleur was so so.
Gerard Mayeu - you get what you pay for - don't expect him spending time on details.
Next I would probably try Mark, the tailor, I bought a suit from them few years back it was a super cheap S.Cohen which they probably just flipped from some overstock place, it didn't require any alterations, but they did look like a professional shop with the nice setup and were very nice guys there.
It's really interesting how in the place like Montreal, home to samuelsohn, jack victor, empire, s.cohen end apparently great clothing manufacturing tradition, it's impossible to find a place to alter your clothes properly.
What about a member of this forum who is originally from Montreal and was working for one of the top North American suit manufacturers and now somewhere in Chicago and working for one of the top North American suite manufacturers, any suggestions from him?
Let's do it people, there must be someone?!
What about Clusier on McGill str. they advertise tailor in house?
Clusier has their work done at Iterations Paul at Square Philips, which i discussed earlier in the thread. i have had quite a lot of work done there and has always been very satisfied

Onagawa (女川町 Onagawa-chō?) is a coastal town located in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. As of June 2014, the town had an estimated population of 6,993 and a population density of 106 persons per km². The total area was 65.80 km².
Onagawa is located on the rugged Sanriku Coast of north-central Miyagi Prefecture. Onagawa is a natural deep water port, located at the intersection of two major ocean currents and noted for its commercial fishing industry. Located nearby on the southern side of Onagawa Bay is the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant.
Neighboring municipalities[edit]
- Miyagi Prefecture
The area of present-day Onagawa was part of ancient Mutsu Province, and has been settled since at least the Jomon period by the Emishi people. During later portion of the Heian period, the area was ruled by the Northern Fujiwara. During the Sengoku period, the area was contested by various samurai clans before the area came under the control of the Date clan of Sendai Domain during the Edo period, under the Tokugawa shogunate.
The modern village of Onagawa was established on 1 June 1889 with the establishment of the municipalities system.
The port of Onagawa, with its deep and sheltered harbor, has long been important both commercially and militarily. The port was hit by an air raid on 9 August 1945 which sank several ships, during the closing days of World War II. A memorial to Canadian Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm pilot Robert Hampton Gray who died in the attack, was unveiled in the town in 1989.
Onagawa was raised to town status on 1 April 1956.
2011 earthquake and tsunami[edit]
Onagawa was one of the most heavily damaged communities by the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The tsunami reached in excess of 15 metres (49 ft) in height and swept 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) inland, claiming 827 lives and destroying 70% of the buildings in the town.[1][2] At least 12 of the town's 25 designated evacuation sites were inundated by the tsunami. The town's hospital located on a hill was extensively flooded on the first floor at the maximum recorded wave height of 18 meters. Six reinforced concrete buildings in the town of up to 4 stories in height were overturned by the force of the surging water and debris and Onagawa Station and its nearby railway tracks were also destroyed.[3]
In an incident widely reported in the Chinese media, Mitsuru Sato, managing director of Sato Suisan, a fish processing company in the town, gave his life ensuring that all the firm's workers, including 20 female Chinese resident trainees, had evacuated safely to higher ground.[4]
Whereas the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant suffered insufficient cooling in the wake of the tsunami which led to three nuclear meltdowns and the release of radioactive material, the Onagawa nuclear generation facility, much closer to the earthquake epicenter, survived the earthquake without any significant damage and served as an emergency refuge for the local community.[5]
The town had previously been hit by tsunami including that caused by the 1960 Valdivia earthquake, although it had received comparatively less impact from tsunami in the aftermath of the 1896 and 1933 Sanriku earthquakes.[6]
Seismologists note that the deep inlets and bays of the nearby ria coastline have the potential to amplify the destructiveness of tsunami waves.[7] Tsunami mitigation structures, warning systems and evacuation training have long been a feature of the town.
Post tsunami reconstruction[edit]
The local community's reconstruction efforts, in many cases led by Onagawa private sector business leaders, have outpaced many larger towns impacted by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Within days of the disaster privately owned construction machinery were used to clear roads, a wholesale fish market was relaunched on 1 April and a reconstruction advisory board was formed shortly thereafter. In the aftermath of the tsunami local residents successfully established small scale grocery stores and retail food facilities in a series of temporary market structures.
On March 21st, 2015 the reconstructed Onagawa Station reopened marking the restoration of the entire Ishinomaki Line. The new station building features an integrated community center and public bathing facility on the upper floors.[8]
Serving both the needs of the local community and attracting out of town visitors, a pedestrianized shopping promenade called Seapal Pia was opened in December 2015.
Five years after the tsunami many Onagawa residents continue to live in short-term temporary accommodation. After extensive landscaping, new residential housing is being relocated at higher elevations on nearby hillsides and leftover soil is being used to raise industrial and commercial sections closer to the water an average of 4.5 metres (15 ft) above sea level.[9]
Reconstruction has been supported both by central government funding and a number of private individuals and foundations including:
- The Qatar Friendship Fund, which provided US$24 million for the design and construction of a new fish processing and refrigerated storage facility.[10]
- Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Shigeru Ban, and the Voluntary Architects' Network, provided designs both for temporary housing shelters in the town as well as the rebuilt Onagawa Station building.[11]
The economy of Onagawa is largely based on commercial fishing. The town acts as a processing and distribution hub for variety of sea foods, but is particularly known for coho salmon, pacific saury and the cultivation of oysters.
- East Japan Railway Company (JR East) – Ishinomaki Line
National highways[edit]
Ferry services[edit]
Local attractions[edit]
The town takes pride in the fact that it still has beaches with "squeaking sand", which has apparently become rare in Japan due to human induced environmental changes.[12]

text: The Full Tilt! Pinball wiki last edited by BeachThunder on 01/06/14 01:46PM View full history OverviewFull Tilt! Pinball is a pre-rendered pinball game which was developed by Cinematronics and published by Maxis. It was released on March 13, 1996 and was available on Windows PC and Mac platforms.When it came out it was by many touted as a clear improvement on the, by then well populated, pinball simulator market. The physics was what most reviewers agreed was the main selling point of the title, as it ventured from the more common 'path' limitations by many other titles and gave the player more realistic responses and ball movement than was common up to that point..The game only had 3 tables, but those three tables were rendered with what was at the time a very high resolution. The three tables are; Space Cadet, Skullduggery and Dragon's Keep. Each table had 'missions' or 'quests' which awarded points and progressed the player up in rank in the case of Space Cadet, or towards the final goal of slaying the dragon in Dragon's Keep.The game would be succeeded by Full Tilt! 2 Pinball the very same year, which might seem a very short time by modern standards but was a relatively common practice for some types of games in the 90s.

Keshiki Bonsai: The Easy, Modern Way to Create Miniature Landscapes
After reading this book I'm ready to try my hand at one of the garden arts I had considered beyond my ability.
New York Times Book Review
Traditional bonsai can be complicated, time consuming, expensive, and steeped in history and tradition. But at its simplest, it's really just a planting done in a container.
Keshiki bonsai is a revolutionary approach that involves creating living pieces of art using readily available plants and containers. This dazzling book features 37 stylish projects with easy, step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow. The projects start simple, with five designs that feature moss combined with unique containers. Readers then move on to six designs combining moss, small trees, and containers. The next ten projects add perennials to the mix, and the final projects have it all: moss, trees, perennials, and stones. Each project is made with a wide variety of containers, from the most delicate, artisan clay pot to a repurposed ramekin and a simple box.
Previously, the techniques, tips, and insights of keshiki bonsai were available only to Japanese enthusiasts. Now, for the first time, Western readers can join in creating these miniature masterpieces. Learn how a garden, a forest, or even a stream can come to life within the bounds of a small container.

Media reviews
"I must admit that after reading [Kobayashi's] book I'm ready to try my hand at one of the garden arts I had considered beyond my ability. ... One gets a nice feel for his enchanting personal landscape, a sort of bonsai gestalt that may inspire many more trees to be grown in Brooklyn."
—New York Times Book Review
"These miniature gems ... are tiny enough to fit anywhere yet bold enough to make a dynamic impact."
"Contains easy-to-follow, step-by-instructions to create counter-intuitive (and simplified) bonsai landscapes."

As noted in our Securities Alert dated October 9, 2012, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) proposed rule changes to their respective listing standards affecting public company boards of directors, compensation committees and compensation advisers in response to directives of the Securities and Exchange Commission. On January 11, 2013, the SEC approved the final rules proposed by NYSE and Nasdaq.
Under the new rules, both NYSE and Nasdaq have implemented a two-step compliance approach, with some requirements under the rules requiring implementation by July 1, 2013 (the first deadline) and other rules requiring implementation by the earlier of the company's first annual meeting after January 15, 2014, or October 31, 2014 (the second deadline).
NYSE or Nasdaq listed companies that have not yet taken action to implement these new rules should analyze their status under these new listing standards and take any necessary action to be in compliance as soon as possible.
A NYSE listed company must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. A Nasdaq listed company either may have a compensation committee (if it does, all of its members must be independent directors), or may instead delegate to independent directors on the board, acting in place of a committee, the responsibility for either determining executive compensation, or recommending the compensation to the full board for determination.
For a company listed on either exchange, the compensation committee must have the authority and direct responsibility to retain or obtain the advice of a compensation committee consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser ("consultants"). However, the committee is not required to engage consultants. The listed company must provide for appropriate funding for payment of reasonable compensation to any consultant retained by the compensation committee.
For a company listed on either exchange, before retaining any compensation consultant, the compensation committee must consider the consultant's independence from management and must specifically consider these factors:
There are no other new Nasdaq requirements for compensation committees that must be met by July 1, 2013. The following requirements are for NYSE listed companies.
The compensation committee must be responsible for reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, evaluating the CEO's performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determining and approving the CEO's compensation level based on such evaluation.
The compensation committee must also be responsible for making recommendations to the board with respect to non-CEO executive officer compensation and incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to board approval.
The compensation committee is also responsible for preparing the compensation committee disclosure required by Item 407(e)(5) of Regulation S-K (which generally governs proxy statement disclosure about use of consultants and related matters).
The compensation committee will be required to complete a performance evaluation of itself annually.
The listed company must adopt a written committee charter giving the compensation committee direct responsibility for addressing and implementing all the foregoing requirements, and must post the charter on its company website and include disclosure in its annual proxy statement that the charter is available there.
By the second deadline, a NYSE listed company must consider stricter standards for determining the independence of the directors on its compensation committee. These include (i) the sources of compensation of a member of the board, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees ("additional fees") paid by the listed company to such director, and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the listed company, a subsidiary of the listed company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the listed company. A Nasdaq listed company must have and maintain a compensation committee of at least two members, who must meet the customary Nasdaq independence standards as well as the more stringent standards noted in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. The Nasdaq rules also bar any director who receives "additional fees" as defined in clause (i) above from serving on the company's compensation committee.
By the second deadline, a Nasdaq listed company must adopt a written committee charter giving the compensation committee direct responsibility for addressing and implementing all of the above requirements. The charter must specify:
A company must also certify to Nasdaq that it has adopted a formal written compensation committee charter and that the compensation committee will review and reassess the adequacy of the charter on an annual basis.
Under NYSE rules, a "controlled company" (basically a majority owned company) is exempt from the new compensation committee rules. The rules of both exchanges provide some relief to "smaller reporting companies," including less onerous requirements for committee charters.

66. Dele Olojede
CEO Publisher, Timbuktu Media
After becoming the first African-born journalist to win a Pulitzer Prize, for his reporting on Rwanda for Newsday, Dele Olojede, 49, returned to Nigeria determined to create an independent news organization. In a country where the ruling elite routinely bribe the media to influence coverage, Timbuktu's reporters can't be bought or bullied. (How else to explain the four armed men who stormed Olojede's offices recently?) According to Google Analytics, his news site 234Next has become the country's most-visited online news source since launching in late 2008; it has broken stories on oil and banking corruption and recently exposed the government's attempt to cover up the president's debilitating medical condition. "We look like revolutionaries for reporting the facts," chuckles Olojede. Up next: experiments with SMS news updates to generate additional ad revenue.

text: BNP senior leader MK Anwar yesterday invited Sheikh Hasina to fight an electoral battle against him at his constituency in Comilla and prove her popularity as prime minister. "The Sheikh Hasina government remains in power by force. I am challenging Hasina to contest against me, holding her premiership. I might be a low profile leader, but I will fight against you," he said, observing that the government's popularity had reduced to zero. "If the premier defeats me, I will accept her as prime minister," said the BNP standing committee member, who was elected MP from his constituency (Homna and Titas) in 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2008. The last election, held on January 5, was boycotted by his party and its allies. MK Anwar was addressing a meeting at the capital's Jatiya Press Club, organised by Jatiyatabadi Mohila Dal, women's wing of the party, to mark the 33rd death anniversary of BNP founder and former president Ziaur Rahman. Anwar said it had become clear that the ruling party men were involved in the murders of seven people in Narayanganj and that of Phulgazi upazila chairman Ekramul Haq in Feni. Describing the country's present situation as "alarming", Anwar said the government had created anarchy to stay in power. He called upon Hasina to hold a fresh election under a non-party administration; otherwise, he said, "you will have to face dire consequences."

Party Recap
Our family was invited for Cookies & Milk to celebrate Gabriel's Sweet 3rd Birthday. We also incorporated Milk Mustaches into the theme.
Anyone who knows our Gabriel knows that he has a huge sweet tooth. (He couldn't have possibly gotten this from his momma?!) So, it was no surprise that when we asked whether he wanted a fire truck or cookie themed party that he went for the cookie theme.
Guests were invited to build their own pizza at the pizza bar. Many saved lots of room to sample the 12 types of homemade cookies offered along with Monster Cookie Dough Dip with animal cracker dippers. We also had two differing cookie cakes.
We had a photo booth for guests to take milk mustache photos which were emailed after the party. They were also able to decorate their own milk bottle shaped cookies with edible markers.

282 bridges in west-central Illinois deemed deficient
The U.S. 67 bridge spanning Pope Creek in Mercer County turned 82 years old this year.
It carries about 2,700 vehicles per day and is deficient, according to an annual report by Transportation for America.
The bridge is among 19 of the 166 bridges in the county identified as deficient, and Mercer County Engineer Jimmy Samaniego says area motorists should take note.
"There is a problem here," Samaniego said. "And it's a significant problem that needs to be addressed."
Samaniego says of the 31 bridges under his jurisdiction, 10 are deemed deficient, and he'll be lucky to have enough funding to replace one bridge every three years.
The problem of deteriorating bridges is not just in Mercer County. In a 10-county area in west-central Illinois, 282 bridges are deemed deficient, with 54 of those in Peoria County, 46 in Livingston County and 41 in Knox County. As a whole, the region accounts for roughly 8.1 percent of the state's 2,311 deficient structures.
Deteriorating bridges are a crisis looming across the nation, says David Goldberg, communications director for Transportation for America.
"This is a major problem," Goldberg said. "The system is failing us."
The report his organization compiles is released annually and examines inspections of the nation's 66,000 structures. Inspections are performed by state and local agencies on a one- to two-year rotating schedule depending on the structure's age and traffic, and engineers rate three main component parts of a bridge: the deck, the superstructure and the substructure.
Each component is given a rating on a scale of 0-9 based on its condition. A bridge with one part scoring 4 or below is labeled deficient, at which time a weight restriction for vehicles is posted.
While local agencies are responsible for a number of bridge inspections, Illinois Department of Public Transportation spokeswoman Paris Ervin says IDOT closely monitors inspections. She points out that 92 percent of Illinois' 26,000 bridges are in acceptable or better condition.
Still, county engineers see a problem.
"I'm not really concerned about any of them falling down in the near future," Samaniego said. "But we need major repairs."
Tazewell County engineer John Anderson agrees.
The report identifies 9.6 percent of bridges in Tazewell County as deficient, and one of the county's worst structures is a portion of Illinois 116 over Ten Mile Creek, built in 1953 and carrying roughly 9,250 cars per day. As of an inspection this past June, the bridge received a deck and superstructure rating of 3.
While bridge collapses due to poor conditions are rare, Anderson says area motorists and residents need to understand the gravity and depth of the problem. Weather conditions, vehicle weight and traffic volume contribute to wear and tear on the region's bridges.
"The general population needs to understand its infrastructure is failing," Anderson said.
"Bridges wear out," Anderson added. "You have to constantly maintain them."
Anderson said he's not optimistic about the possibility for improvement given how little attention is placed on bridge conditions by lawmakers and the public — although he feels the regional outlook is better.
IDOT plans to repair or replace 226 bridges in 2014, including replacements of bridges on Illinois 8 over Kickapoo Creek in Peoria County and the aforementioned Ten Mile Creek bridge in Tazewell County and Pope Creek bridge in Mercer County. Yet, the Transportation for America report finds Illinois among 15 states where the number of deficient bridges has increased since 2011.
Even though Goldberg concedes some progress has been made in recent years in shoring up failing bridges — IDOT says more than 1,200 bridges have been repaired or rebuilt since 2009 — he maintains there's still much to be done.
"The system is aging so quickly," Goldberg said.
Many bridges in the area's network were built in the 1950s and 1960s, explained Goldberg, and are reaching the end of their service all at once.
"The more deteriorated they are, the faster they deteriorate," he said. "A lot bridges are coming to a head at the same time, and many regions are definitely scrambling."

The Killers, "Runaways" | Are these dorks really gonna double-down on the homuncular Boss shtick? Well, alright, as long as they're cool with the word "Springsteen" appearing in every single review of their shit ever, and probably not in a flattering way. This is Americana of distinctly cheapo manufacture; it sounds like a third-generation knock-off, a song about songs about songs about America. It's pretty late and I'm not thinking right, so I'm going to follow my strong impulse to call this track an ice-cold burger.

"Whenever there is a conversation about the future of computing, is discussion inevitably turns to the notion of a 'File'. After all, most tablets and phones don't show the user anything that resembles a file, only Apps that contain their own content, tucked away inside their own opaque storage structure. This is wrong. Files are abstraction layers around content that are necessary for interoperability. Without the notion of a File or other similar shared content abstraction, the ability to use different applications with the same information grinds to a halt, which hampers innovation and user experience." Aside from the fact that a file manager for Android is just a click away, and aside from the fact that Android's share menu addresses many of these concerns, his point still stands: files are not an outdated, archaic concept. One of my biggest gripes with iOS is just how user-hostile the operating system it when it comes to getting stuff - whatever stuff - to and from the device.

I couldn't agree more and this is exactly what I've been working on since the last years: PeerDrive (www.peerdrive.org). You may want to have a look at https://github.com/jkloetzke/peerdrive/blob/master/doc/introduction.... but the documentation is unfortunately still lacking at the moment. The 'search' part is still completely missing, yet, I'm already using it to organize and synchronize documents at work with my colleagues.

Art Rosenfeld, Scientist Emeritus in the Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD) of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation at a ceremony at the White House in February 2013. The medal recognizes those who have made lasting contributions to America's competitiveness and quality of life and helped strengthen the nation's technological workforce. Nominees are selected by a distinguished independent committee representing the private and
public sectors.
With a decades-long career in energy analysis and standards, Rosenfeld is often credited with billions of dollars in energy savings and is viewed by many as "the godfather of energy efficiency." He started his career at the University of California, Berkeley, and at Berkeley Lab in the 1950s as a physicist in the Nobel Prize-winning particle physics group of Luis Alvarez. However, in 1974, he decided to switch his focus to energy and the environment. In 1975 he founded the Center for Building Science at EETD, where a broad range of energy-efficiency concepts, analysis tools, policy ideas, and technologies were developed over the next 20 years.
"Art's long-standing efforts in the field of energy efficiency have truly changed the way we think about energy today," said Berkeley Lab Director Paul Alivisatos. "He epitomizes the spirit of Berkeley Lab with his dedication and innovation. This honor is well-deserved."
"We are thrilled with this award to Art," said EETD Division Director Ashok Gadgil. " It is a wonderful and timely recognition of his towering leadership role in the U.S. and internationally in understanding and capturing energy efficiency as a resource. We are very pleased and proud he helped found this division, and that after his careers at the Department of Energy and the California Energy Commission, he returned here as Distinguished Scientist Emeritus."
President Obama Honors Nation's Top Scientists and Innovators
Environmental Energy Technologies Division Director Ashok Gadgil has been elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
Election to the NAE is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "Engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature," and to the "pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."
Gadgil was elected for his "engineering solutions to the problems of potable water and energy in underdeveloped nations."
In the quest to produce an environmentally benign renewable fuel, scientists have explored many techniques to split water molecules to produce hydrogen. Still, the current photovoltaic designs are not yet technically or economically viable. Materials research in this area has been promising, but research on the engineering design of these photoelectrochemical systems has been sparse.
To advance this part of the puzzle, a team including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) researchers Sophia Haussener and Adam Weber recently conducted design research at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) and published their results in Energy and Environmental Sciences. The team used a validated multi-physics numerical model to examine two photochemical water-splitting designs.
The modeling revealed important information about the design impacts of these systems. For example, the use of transparent-conducting-oxide layers on top of the photoactive semiconductor resulted in smaller ohmic loss (voltage drop) across the cell. Ohmic losses were also reduced through smaller electrode lengths, larger electrolyte heights, and thinner separators. In addition, the research team found that electrolyte and product crossover, which limit the system's ability to keep the split hydrogen and oxygen molecules from recombining, was determined by the system's operational condition and pressure differentials over the system's separators. The researchers concluded that controlling the morphology of the separator could potentially reduce this crossover and improve hydrogen yields. Further research is planned.
Other team members were Chengxiang Xiang, Joshua M. Spurgeon, and Nathan S. Lewis (of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis at the California Institute of Technology) and Shane Ardo (of the Beckman Institute and Kavli Nanoscience Institute).
"Modeling, simulation, and design criteria for photoelectrochemical water-splitting systems," by Sophia Haussener, Chengxiang Xiang, Joshua M. Spurgeon, Shane Ardo, Nathan S. Lewis, and Adam Z. Weber, is available to Energy and Environmental Sciences subscribers.
California's residential ventilation requirements in Title 24 (the State energy code for buildings) are designed to balance healthy home ventilation with efficient energy use, but some studies suggest that whole-house ventilation systems don't always meet their expected performance in either category. Commissioning, a systematic evaluation of the installed system to identify deficiencies and offer solutions, can help homeowners achieve this balance. However, implementing those solutions is likely to cost money, so how should we determine whether commissioning and the recommended changes are worthwhile?
Using detailed thermal, airflow, and pollutant transport simulation models along with novel costing approaches, Will Turner, Jennifer Logue, and Craig Wray—three Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers—explored this question. In particular, the models quantified the energy and indoor air quality impacts of malfunctioning ventilation systems on occupant health and building energy use. Two existing approaches were used in combination to monetize the impacts: a Time Dependent Valuation (TDV) approach for energy and a Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) approach for air quality. This method allowed a direct, apples-to-apples comparison to be made between the health and energy costs associated with correcting ventilation system deficiencies.
The research team determined that health impacts dominate energy impacts—highlighting the importance of ventilating homes to provide good indoor air quality. They recommended that the metric for commissioning ventilation systems should be the net present value of the combined energy and health benefits to the occupant. Put simply, both energy and air quality should be considered together. In order for commissioning ventilation systems to be worthwhile, the value of the combined benefits should outweigh the cost of commissioning (plus any changes made). An interesting offshoot of the research is that this new method can be used to optimize ventilation rates in homes. With a bit more work, it should be possible to set ventilation rates that maximize health benefits to occupants while using as little energy as possible.
The full article, "A Combined Energy and IAQ Assessment of the Potential Value of Commissioning Residential Mechanical Ventilation Systems," by William J.N. Turner, Jennifer M. Logue, and Craig P. Wray is available to Science Direct subscribers.
CalCharge, an energy storage innovation accelerator, and San Jose State University, the number one supplier of graduates to Silicon Valley, are teaming up to launch a "battery university" in the high-tech capital of the world.
Battery university courses—to be offered through SJSU's professional education program—will educate a specialty workforce needed now for the rapidly growing battery industry. Classes are expected to start this summer in partnership with SJSU's engineering college. Leading scientists, entrepreneurs, industry, and policy experts met in February at SJSU to provide feedback on the vision and proposed curriculum.
There are roughly 40 battery-related companies in California working to solve energy storage challenges, which are critical to the electric vehicle sector, the solar sector, the wind sector, consumer electronics, and more.
"California is both a patent and a venture capital leader in the battery sector in the United States, but we cannot rest on our laurels," said Venkat Srinivasan, head of the Energy Storage and Distributed Resources groups at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. "Our sector is developing at such a rapid clip that if we want to maintain our leadership position, we must constantly innovate—and we need the top minds to do so."

The sonos sub matched with the playbar covers all my needs for tv and music. The playbar provides clear tv and voices without having to have the volume up too loud. The sub adds a powerful bottom to my music so that you can feel the bass. I love that I can stream music from many sources, my phone, computer, Ipad, anything available on the internet. The matte black sub is great looking, matches the sonos playbar. Hopefully Sonos will continue to make it. Very big sound, for a small unit. Very happy!

BOWLING GREEN - City Council tabled two amendments to Bowling Green's nuisance party law after failing to reach a consensus on the distance from their homes that hosts could be held responsible for rowdy guests.
Second Ward Councilman Mike Zickar, who proposed the changes last month, initially suggested amending the law to say hosts should not be responsible for their guests on neighboring property. He said he was later convinced the law should include adjacent property.
But at a public hearing Monday, some suggested neighboring property could be defined as areas as far as 100 yards from the party site.
"We need to reflect on whether we still want to change it and, if we want to put in a certain yard limit, what the number of yards would be," Mr. Zickar said.
The law, which allows police to shut down a party and cite the hosts if illegal activity is taking place there, was declared constitutional in Bowling Green Municipal Court. That decision has been appealed.

Hassan pledges to veto proposal to raise NH beer tax a dime if it reaches her desk
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � Gov. Maggie Hassan is pledging to veto a bill to raise New Hampshire's beer tax a dime if it reaches her desk.
Hassan told reporters Wednesday the discussion should be about jobs and the economy and now is not the time to raise the tax, especially with the New England Patriots possibly headed to the Superbowl.
The tax currently is 30 cents per gallon and paid at the wholesale level. State Rep. Charles Weed, a Keene Democrat, proposes designating receipts from the increase to alcohol abuse and prevention treatment.
A state law currently requires a portion of the profits on liquor sales go toward treatment, but lawmakers have been diverting the money to other state spending for years. Hassan would not say if her budget will divert the money.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin's dairy farmers continued to see improved milk production in September.
The latest federal statistics say the state produced 2.2 billion pounds of milk in September. That's a 1 percent increase from the same month a year ago.
National production was also up 1 percent, to 14.8 billion pounds.
Wisconsin remains the country's No. 2 milk-producing state. It's well behind California and well ahead of third-place Idaho.
California produced nearly 3.2 billion pounds of milk in September, an increase of less than half a percentage point from September 2012. Idaho's dairy farmers harvested 1.1 billion pounds, or half of Wisconsin's yield.
Wisconsin and California combine to produce more than one-third of the nation's milk.

Sunday is fucking loaded! Friday is also very strong. Saturday leaves a little to be desired as of right now. That may change once I do a little more research.

Sunday is fucking loaded! Friday is also very strong. Saturday leaves a little to be desired as of right now. That may change once I do a little more research.
And note that his total doesn't include what he posted in the Matt at the movies thread. But you hit the nail on the head.
I was there ground zero for all of of this and was actually part of the whole thing, so I remember it well. Matt, aka PaulThomasAnderson, was an insufferable douche who came across like a cocky know...
Haven't posted in quite some time but came here after seeing the barrage of posts on Facebook. I'm really upset by this. Just shocked. Never had the chance to meet him but have interacted with him...
Hey all. It's been awhile. Felt compelled to come back and comment after seeing the lineup. So after last year, I decided that I had either outgrown Coachella or I was not the target demographic...
Great headliners, but that is a weak ass undercard. I keep saying I'm going to make it back to TI, but they haven't been able to get me up there since 2010. I need more in a lineup.
It's almost as bad as Made in America LA.
Of fucking course I'm out of town! So bummed!
This literally may be the worst lineup for a major festival I have ever seen. I can't recall a single festival that has been this horrible from top to bottom. Not one name I'd want to see.
Love the Cool Hand Duck! That drink is served in a mug so awesome, they make you leave your license with them so you don't steal it.
That would be my guess. They used to hold Electric Daisy Carnival in this location, and they had a similar setup. Instead of the Sports Arena, I believe they had a stage in the Colosseum (also at the...
Yes. Sports Arena is part of Expo Park.
Jesus Fucking Christ! What a lineup!
Nice review. I really like the addition of Luke, and it appears he is starting to show up on more songs. In particular, he helps bring Remurdered to another level live. They don't seem to be varying...
A couple other choices would be Millennium Biltmore - right next to the Red line and super nice. The new Ace Hotel is pretty awesome, too. It's walkable to the 7th Metro station, which takes you...
Probably not. I'm sinking around $1200-1500 each year living 2 hours from Indio (me plus one). I would rather spend that plus the additional $800+ on international travel.
Glad to hear it! What was the setlist? People on the internet haven't been reporting the last week or so. I'm interested in what they're playing now that Martin is back.
I enjoyed his year, but it seems to lose a little luster each year. The crowds are just getting too big for me. And this is the first year I actually felt old at Coachella. I've been 8 years...
Yeah Thursday night was pretty fantastic. Satan has been exquisite this tour. New musician is pretty great. Oh, and I'm bummed Martin is back next week. The set lists are going to vary a lot more in...
Didn't see this thread when I posted in a different one.
What the hell happened to the shuttle system this year? I've done them every year since 2011 and they had gotten better and more efficient...
They've toned down on their volume in the last few years.
In general, the entire festival felt overcrowded. Much harder for me to do many of the things I usually do. But there were a handful of times that reminded me of the glory days, from empty tents to...
I was a bit let down with the set, but I can agree with his. Great rendition of a great song.
I'm using this thread for different purposes. What the hell happened to the shuttle system this year? I've done them every year since 2011 and they had gotten better and more efficient every year....
Bummed I couldn't make it down to SD tonight. I love seeing Mogwai at the Belly Up. Excited for a full set Thursday.
Anyone catch them at Coachella? They had a tough time slot, so maybe that's why...
Understatement. I haven't been a part of a tent that empty in years. I used that as a shelter to sleep and prepare for the rest of Friday.
God damn it.
That guy was such a tool. He picked the wrong show.
Yea, the Expo line will make it super easy to get to this. I am pretty stoked if it ends up here at USC.
Weekend 2 gets the better looking wristbands again this year.
When are we getting our GV April shows? I need to know if I am driving down to SD midweek for another dose of Mogwai. Didn't they start selling tickets to the shows in early February last year?
I am so stoked for this. I was pretty shocked they didn't end up on Coachella's lineup since this has been rumored for months now.
Cool, so there is a chance I will return now that LA Park is off the table and being renovated.
So everyone... thoughts on the new album? Interested in hearing everyone's opinions.
For me, the album is a little more on the level with Mr. Beast (aka: a few standouts, but a little on the drab...
Well shit. Not sure there is much room for a Goldenvoice LA area show. It would have to either be before Coachella or on that Monday.
A lot of people love it but it's one of my least favorites. Although Autorock might be one of their best songs.
6.5 years and this is still getting votes? Impressive.
"It ain't music unless there are words in it, brah!"
Stop making sense! I'd rather just grasp to the belief that a festival should cater to me and they are wrong if they don't!
I will not miss this for anyone. Can't wait to see where they play.
And a lot of first timers will be checking them out. I'm excited to see what you all think after seeing them.
We also better...
I was very interested in checking out Chino's new band. But then I saw theklein started this thread, and my excitement has dwindled to some extent.
Does he ever play anything off of Animal Magic or Dial M anymore? Those albums are still some of my favorite downtempo albums after all of these years.
That is pretty delicious right there.
And back when it was released, everyone was saying how shitty the lineup was because Jack Johnson and Portishead were not headliners.
Late add hurt/heal? That will be the best way to determine who should be added.
I am pretty shocked to see the hate, but I think it stems from a meh headliner, one of the worst things to ever happen to music in Skrillex, and a couple of overplayed KROQ bff's. I will admit that...
Over zealous former intern.
This thread is a fine example of the fact that Goldenvoice cannot win when it comes to lineup announcements. Every year, everyone bitches about the lineup, but then the next year we hear about how...
Honestly, it was pretty naive to think they'd realistically ever play a live show again. It should be nothing more than a pipe dream.
