text: Nonrefrigerated warehouses in the U.S. use an average of 6.1 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity and 13,400 Btu of natural gas per square foot annually. Lighting and space heating account for approximately 76% of total use (Figure 1), making these systems the best targets for energy savings. Refrigerated warehouses are more energy-intensive than their nonrefrigerated counterparts because of the large amount of energy consumed by refrigeration equipment. They consume an average of 24.9 kWh of electricity and 9,200 Btu of natural gas per square foot per year. Average energy use data Figure 1: Energy consumption by end use In non-refrigerated warehouses, lighting is the primary electricity end use nationally; space heating is far and away the largest end use for natural gas. Top technology uses Heating Lighting Cooling Energy costs typically account for 15% of a warehouse's operating budget. To better manage your building's energy costs, it helps to understand how you are charged for those costs. Most utilities charge commercial buildings for their natural gas based on the amount of energy delivered. Electricity, on the other hand, can be charged based on two measures: consumption and demand (Figure 2). The consumption component of the bill is based on the amount of electricity in kWh that the building consumes during a month. The demand component is the peak demand in kilowatts (kW) occurring within the month, or, for some utilities, during the previous 12 months. Demand charges can range from a few dollars per kilowatt-month to upwards of $20 per kilowatt-month. Because energy costs can be a considerable percentage of your bill, care should be taken to reduce peak demand whenever possible. As you read the following energy cost management recommendations, keep in mind how each one will affect both your consumption and your demand. Figure 2: Diagram of a hypothetical daily warehouse load shape Lighting typically makes the largest contribution to the peak demand in a nonrefrigerated warehouse (A), but during the hot summer days, it's also important to consider the effect that space cooling has on peak demand. Refrigeration is commonly the primary driver of peak demand in refrigerated warehouses (B). Regardless of warehouse type, though, energy-efficiency measures both reduce consumption and lower monthly peak demand charges. Quick fixes this section Most warehouses can benefit from low- or no-cost energy-reducing actions. Turn things off Turning off equipment when not in use is the first strategy any energy auditor will recommend. For facilities that don't operate constantly, one method to identify energy-efficiency opportunities is a walk through the facility after hours. Much of the equipment that is left on overnight in an empty building is a good candidate for saving energy by switching it off. Computers and office equipment. Modern warehouses use an increasing amount of information technology. The typical desktop computer, monitor, and shared printer together draw about 120 watts. If left on overnight and on weekends, a single computer setup could add $30 or more to the annual energy bill. Most of the equipment sold today can go into a low-power sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Unfortunately, most users don't take advantage of this feature, but desktop computers shipped since 2008 should have these options enabled by default. If a facility has networked computers, an administrator may be able to control power settings at the server level with group policy objects (GPOs). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has created a free tool, EZ GPO, to assist network administrators in creating GPOs. In addition, if your system has multiple types of hardware and operating systems on the same network it may be worthwhile to purchase a computer power management software solution. Lights. Turn off lights when they are not in use. Occupancy sensors and timers can help, but a less expensive alternative would be to educate and motivate employees to turn off lights at the end of the day. In some cases, sections of a facility may have more light than necessary and delamping could be an easy energy-saving option to consider. Controlling outside-air intake. Many warehouses have rooftop units for heating, ventilation, and sometimes cooling. Some are equipped with exhaust fans that bring in outside air for ventilation. These should be set to only run when the spaces are occupied. Perform regular maintenance Keeping the facility and equipment in good working order is important both to save energy and to protect equipment. Maintenance. Regular maintenance of heating, ventilation, cooling, and refrigeration systems—including changing filters regularly—is important for good operation and to avoid wasting energy. Seals. One major source of energy loss is air infiltration, through gaps around doors on the loading dock and into refrigerated spaces. Regular checking and repairing of gaps in door seals as well as making sure employees keep the doors closed are quick energy savers. Longer-term solutions this section Although the actions described in this section require more extensive implementation, they can dramatically increase the efficiency of your warehouse. Install an enterprise energy management (EEM) system. It is impossible to optimize what you don't measure, so you might consider an EEM system to track your facility's use of electricity, water, compressed air, gas, and steam. An EEM system combines data-acquisition hardware and software to enable a broad-based understanding of how energy is used in a facility. The data an EEM system collects allows energy managers to track costs, identify anomalies, and automate demand-response reactions. EEM systems can also be used to benchmark a variety of parameters ranging from outside-air temperature to the quantity of packages processed or stored. These insights on performance can be used to compare one facility to another or to look at how performance varies over time. An EEM system would be useful for determining the actual payback periods of any efficiency measures implemented. Upgrade to more-efficient lighting. Lighting is typically one of the largest consumers of energy in a warehouse; accordingly, it often can represent the best opportunities for savings. Broadly speaking, lighting savings can be found in two areas: installing the most appropriate lighting technology and controlling it effectively. In a warehouse with old probe-start metal halide lamps, savings can be gained by installing newer, pulse-start lamps, but even more savings can be had with fluorescent lamps or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps (high-pressure sodium and metal halide) were the mainstays of high-bay lighting for many years, but in about the year 2000 advances in the performance and color quality of fluorescent lighting made high-intensity fluorescents (HIF) the most efficient, cost-effective choice in many cases. Compared to HID lighting, fluorescent lighting (predominantly T5 high output and high-performance T8 lamps) offers many pluses, including higher efficiency, longer life, lower lumen depreciation rates, better dimming options, faster start-up and restrike times, better color rendition, and less glare, but they are also more sensitive to temperature variations. On the HID side, higher-wattage ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps and compatible higher-wattage electronic ballasts have made CMH more competitive in some applications. Induction lamps are also a viable HID option where maintenance costs are especially high, although induction lighting is less efficient. And lamp life ratings for both LEDs and HIFs are approaching those of induction lamps. Today, LEDs are starting to make inroads into high-bay applications. Compared to fluorescents, LEDs offer similar efficacy (and the technology is still rapidly improving), longer life, similar color quality, more controllability, and better light-distribution patterns. The most promising early applications for LEDs were in cold storage because LEDs perform better in cold conditions than other lamp types. Since then, LED products have become more efficient, and with less heat to dissipate and better techniques for handling the heat LEDs do create, high-bay applications have expanded to more general warehousing applications. A large warehouse might have the lights on across the whole facility, even if only a small portion is occupied at any given time. In these cases, the ability to just turn lights on when they are needed can have a substantial impact on consumption. Occupancy sensors and timers can capture these savings, but they need to be combined with lighting systems that are effective when controlled. HID light sources have long start-up and restrike times and so can't be shut off based on occupancy, but they can be dimmed to about 50% of initial power. Fluorescent lighting is a better choice for controllability due to its faster startup time, but frequent on-off switching can reduce its life span. LEDs are the most amenable to control—they react instantly and suffer no degradation of life with frequent switching—but they are more costly. For some warehouses, skylights and daylighting controls can also be a big energy-saver. Lighting control systems can automatically turn interior and exterior building lights on and off based on a preset schedule, rather than relying on personnel to remember to turn lights off. Optimize refrigeration. Although refrigerated warehouses are generally highly customized, there are a number of technologies that can be considered: Moderately oversized evaporative condensers controlled by variable-frequency drives (VFDs) can be highly effective in refrigeration units. Properly sized evaporator coils cooled with VFD-controlled fans can optimize the energy performance of refrigeration units. Proper insulation and efficient compressor motors are almost always cost-effective efficiency investments. Controllers that initiate defrost cycles based on actual ice buildup are more effective than those that run on timers. Install a cool roof. In cooling-dominated climates, when it's time to replace the roof, consider installing a cool roof; these have surface coating that reflects solar radiation, reduces the cooling load, and can reduce temperatures near the ceilings in unconditioned warehouses. A roof renovation could also be a good time to add insulation. Minimize air infiltration. One major source of energy loss for warehouses can be air infiltration through open loading docks and doors. Similarly, refrigerated areas within warehouses lose a lot of energy when doors are left open to allow forklifts to come and go. This can be minimized by making sure that the doors are closed and sealed whenever possible, but this can be easier said than done. People working on loading docks can find it tedious to open and close doors several times a shift, so they save time by leaving the doors open, which can have a significant energy cost. One solution is to install specially designed doors that open and close quickly (but safely) and encourage employees to use the doors whenever possible. In doorways with so much traffic that even rapidly opening warehouse doors would be too slow, adding strip curtains has proven to be an inexpensive way to reduce energy losses. Employ radiant heaters. One challenge with efficiently heating a warehouse is the wide range of functions and spaces in the facility. If a large warehouse has a small section used as an office, people working there will expect a reasonable indoor room temperature year-round. The same applies to individuals working on a loading dock on a cold winter day. Maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the entire large—and mostly unoccupied—space can be costly and inefficient. In these situations, gas or electric radiant heaters (also known as beam radiant heaters) can be mounted above the areas that require heat, keeping workers comfortable even with the building air as low as 40° to 50° Fahrenheit (F) (4° to 10° Celsius [C]). These devices provide thermal comfort to people within line-of-sight, but are not designed to bring the overall air temperature up. Install big ceiling fans. Improving air circulation with large fans can be an effective way to save a substantial amount of energy. If the space is air-conditioned, ceiling fans save energy by improving air circulation, which can allow the facility to raise the temperature by as much as 4.5°F (2.5°C) while still maintaining occupant comfort. If the facility is heated, warmer air will naturally stagnate near the ceiling where it won't do much good, but ceiling fans will vertically circulate the air. Several case studies have shown that a few large ceiling fans provide better air circulation and greater energy efficiency compared with multiple smaller, high-velocity fans. Use electric forklifts. Diesel- or propane-fueled forklifts require extra ventilation in the facility, which adds to the HVAC load in conditioned spaces, making the forklifts less cost-effective. Electric forklifts have higher initial costs (capital plus installation) but lower energy and total operating costs, so the total lifecycle costs are comparable. One often-unexpected cost when deploying electric forklifts is increased demand charges, but these can be avoided by using a timer to only charge the forklift batteries during off-peak hours. An emerging option is the use of fuel cell–powered lift trucks, which are just entering the market. Install variable-speed drives. Variable-speed drives (VSDs), which adjust motor speed to suit production needs, can cut energy use. They are less likely to be cost-effective on conveyors—where the power requirement is linear—than on pump and fan systems, for which power requirements increase in proportion to the cube of their speed. Purchase high-efficiency motors. Some warehouses use a number of electric motors, such as for distribution systems, and these can represent a substantial opportunity for efficiency. High-efficiency motors can pay for themselves in electricity savings, and diagnostic systems can identify when motors might need maintenance. Electronic motor starters have built-in programming that can communicate with a facility's EEM system and notify facility managers if a motor is not operating at its expected levels.

Paddington Printshop
Posters from Paddington Printshop 1975 -90
'Paddington Printshop produced posters for the burgeoning squatters rights movement, for community resources, and for acts of social and political activism in the center of London in the mid-1970's for over a decade.... The posters are visually striking examples of silkscreen and stencil printing at its most vibrant.' Boo Hooray, New York 2017
Paddington Printshop produced some of the most vibrant activist posters of 1970's and '80's London. Their posters and prints had a social and often political dimension, and many were intended as aesthetic objects. The Printshop became a model for community arts /activist print studios across the UK. This exhibition traces the work of the Printshop, working in central West London, from its launch in 1975. It concludes with the huge late '80's poster campaign about public housing in Westminster, the most successful London housing campaign in living memory. Working with everyone - from community groups to local musicians like the Sex Pistols and Joe Strummer- Paddington Printshop grew to develop a special style. Its relationship with the local community extended the impact of socially engaged art in the UK.
Unlike many political poster makers of the time, the John Phillips and Printshop team engaged directly with different social causes. As unemployed artists, they were members of a mixed and bohemian community in a run down area. Poor housing, poverty, racial confrontation and harsh policing were experienced locally, and the Printshop team worked to produce art and design as part of the community. This was an attractive position for young artists at the time - many were rebelling against the 'commodification' of art, and arguing for art's interpretative independence from commodification. Many residents tried their hand at designing posters and announcements, helped by the Printshop.
Without patronage, secure arts funding and powerful clients, there was freedom to produce work often more akin to fine art than commercial design, and at times painterly rather than graphic. Like Polish film poster artists - who were an influence- many of the Paddington Printshop posters were artist-driven. Paradoxically, some of the posters and prints produced by the Printshop have now become collectors items.
Paddington Printshop was founded by (then) 23 year old John Phillips, a sculptor from Sheffield, and his girlfriend Pippa Smith, a young teacher. For the first few months they operated from their kitchen table. In 1975, the Printshop moved to Marylands Road and started serving the local community. Poster designers included Jay Talbot, Simon Fell, and Annie
In the 1970's Ladbroke Grove / North Kensington / Westbourne Park / Harrow Road were delapidated, relatively central areas of West London. Rachmanism, planning blight and the recession meant that there were streets full of semi derelict houses available for squatting - or cheap rentals. The area attracted social activists, artists, and musicians. It was already home to many people of Caribbean origin who had settled since the late 1940's. This meant that the Printshop was working in a highly creative, relatively lawless area in which people found it difficult to assert their rights.

Grilled Italian Sausage With Sweet and Sour Peppers and Onions Recipe
Unraveling the mysteries of home cooking through science.
The key to perfectly cooked sausages on the grill is to start them in a moist bath of flavorful toppings, slow-cooking them to infuse them with flavor and get an even cook, then finish them off over the hot side to crisp and char them.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips (about 2 cups)
- 2 red bell peppers, stems and cores removed, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 2 green bell peppers, stems and cores removed, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons (45g) sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds (900g) sweet or hot Italian sausage
- Buns, for serving
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar. Remove from heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Light 1 chimney full of charcoal. When all charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange coals on one side of charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate.
Transfer onion and pepper mixture to a 10-inch square disposable aluminum pan. (Alternatively, construct a tray out of a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, 10 inches square, with sides about 2 inches high.) Nestle sausages into onion and pepper mixture.
Place tray on hot side of grill and cook until simmering, about 4 minutes. Slide to cooler side of grill. Cover grill, with vents over sausages. Cook with all vents open until sausages register 140 to 145°F (60 to 63°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Remove lid. Using tongs, remove sausages from peppers and place directly on cooking grate over hot side of grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until well browned and crisp, about 3 minutes total. Return sausages to peppers. Toast buns over hot side of grill, if desired. Serve sausages with buns and sweet-and-sour peppers.

The final series in the East Hampton Town men's and women's slow-pitch softball leagues were to have begun this week, with Men at Work challenging undefeated Bostwick's in a best-of-three showdown, and with Stephen Hand's Equipment going up against the men's pennant-winner, Schenck Fuels, in a best-of-five set.
Men at Work edged Groundworks Landscaping 4-3 last Thursday as Robin Helgerson came up with some big hits and Marta Johann, whose father, Ed, coaches the team, pretty much shut Groundworks down with well-placed high-arc pitches. Bostwick's, though, which includes a core group who have won 15 championships over the years, has not really been challenged this season.
The Travis Field memorial (double elimination) softball tournament, which has attracted 14 teams, is to be played tonight through Sunday, which means that game two of the women's series will be played Tuesday, with a third game, if necessary, set for Wednesday.
The men's final series, which is best-of-five, could end Wednesday too if a fifth game is needed. Schenck's and Stephen Hand's were to have played their first two games on Tuesday and yesterday. The third, because of the intervening tournament, is scheduled for Monday, the fourth for Tuesday, and the fifth for next Wednesday if necessary.
In decisive semifinal round games at the Terry King ball field Monday night, Stephen Hand's Equipment, a frequent finalist under the Bistrian Gravel and Indian Wells Tavern banners in the past half-dozen years, defeated the defending champions, The Independent, 15-10, and Schenck Fuels plowed under Round Swamp Farm 9-3.
Going into Monday, Indy and Stephen Hand's had split the first two games of their best-of-three series; Schenck's win in that night's first game completed a sweep.
Stephen Hand's Equipment banged out seven home runs in its win over The Independent — two each by Andrew Foglia and Brian Pfund, and one each by Vaughn Cutillo, Tommy Thorsen, and Gabe Klein.
Six of The Independent's runs came as the result of homers — a two-run shot by Barry Mackin with two out in the bottom of the first inning, and a grand slam by Pierce Kelley in the bottom of the sixth that pulled Indy to within 9-7 with none out.
Paul Thorsen, the winner's pitcher, however, who had shut down Indy's big guns in the third, fourth, and fifth, came back to get Rob Nicoletti, his opposite number, on a flyout to center, Bret Herlihy on a flyout to left, and, after Tyler Brenneman had beaten out an infield hit, Peyton Kelley on a force play at second.
Stephen Hand's put the game away with six runs in the top of the seventh, the big blows being a run-scoring double by Nick Jarboe, a two-run homer by Tommy Thorsen, a two-run homer by Klein, and a solo shot by Brian Pfund.
Alex Tekulsky doubled to lead off the bottom of the seventh, John Amicucci drew a walk, Bill Collins singled through the left side, and Thorsen walked the number-four hitter, Tim Brenneman, forcing in a run. Mackin then hit a long fly to left, but it was caught. That sacrifice fly plated The Independent's ninth run.
With runners at the corners, Thorsen pitched cautiously to Pierce Kelley, who, with the count 2-2, grounded out third-to-first. Rob Nicoletti, again with runners at first and third, singled to drive in The Independent's 10th run, but Herlihy grounded to Cutillo, the shortstop, who stepped on second base for the game-ending, series-ending, and, for The Independent, season-ending out.
As for the Travis Field tournament, which is to begin tonight, Brian Anderson, its organizer, said Joe Sullivan (Stephen Hand's) and Andy Tuthill (Schenck's) will vie in the finals of the home-run derby, which attracted 16 contestants at $50 apiece, on Saturday at 7:45 p.m.
Each batter will get 10 swings, he said. "Anything they swing at which is not a homer will be an out."
Anderson's own team, the Pink Panthers, are the defending champs, "but I don't think we can be considered the favorite this year — the competition is a lot tougher."

The blastdbcmd tool in the BLAST+ suite (replacing fastacmd in the C 'legacy' BLAST suite) lets you do a lot of clever things with a BLAST database. As long as you follow the baroque NCBI FASTA naming scheme you can do this with local BLAST databases too. However, if you don't want to bow down to the NCBI naming (e.g. use FASTA files directly from your favourite assembler), then blastdbcmd seems needlessly crippled.
Update (2 April 2013): Some changes in BLAST 2.2.28+ (released yesterday) seem to be intended to address these issues, but there remain problems with this which I intend to expand on later.
Update (20 April 2013): I found a quiet moment this weekend to update this post with the BLAST 2.2.28+ problems I was alluding to. There has been some progress on this issue with the new release, but it is flawed. See below.
Bioinformatics lessons learned the hard way, bugs, gripes, and maybe topical paper reviews too...
Broken blastdbcmd for -target_only
This is just a quick post to document a bug in the blastdbcmd tool from the BLAST+ suite when used on the NR database with a full identifier and the -target_only option.
Update: See end of post, BLAST 2.2.28+ fixed this :)

How not to deal with NGS data - MrFast & MrsFast
One of the first things a programmer dealing with 'Next Generation Sequencing' (NGS) aka 'High Throughput Sequencing' (HTSeq) data learns is to be very aware of memory limitations. You can't just go loading files into RAM when they are often gigabytes in size. Instead where possible you loop over a file (iterating over it record by record) or employ indexed random access. The authors of MrFast & MrsFast didn't do this.
Installing Python 3.3 with LZMA/XZ on Mac OS X
Today's release of Python 3.3 includes the lzma module in the standard library for LZMA/XZ files, but it didn't work 'out of the box' under Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion - it requires XZ Utils. This is how I installed it.
Stop breaking NCBI BLAST searches!
Have you ever tried to use a BLAST database of protein sequences containing stop codons? If you work on nice model organisms with solid gene annotation maybe not. However, with draft annotations, mutation studies, or read through translation it is not unreasonable for the odd internal stop codon to appear in a protein sequence. And some translation pipelines do leave in a trailing * character. It turns out the BLAST+ suite has a rather nasty glitch with this sort of sequence.
Update: BLAST 2.2.27+ fixed this bug.

BLAST tabular output missing descriptions
This is an open letter to the NCBI BLAST+ team to request two simple enhancements which I think would be extremely useful - first and foremost the option to include BLAST result descriptions in the tabular output. Having the taxonomic identifiers (if available) would be great too - allowing downstream filtering of BLAST results by species etc.
Update: See end of post, BLAST 2.2.28+ added most of these features :)

BLAST+ ignoring search space size for e-values
Sometimes using BLAST is frustrating. Today I'm writing about it returning different expectation values, and therefore different answers, depending on if you use a FASTA subject file, or a database made from that file. I noticed something funny a while ago, but didn't immediately investigate and report it (which I regret). In the continued absence of an official public bug tracker for NCBI BLAST, I'm again going to blog about it here, so people can find it via Google, and email this to the NCBI.

BLAST+ memory hog with subject FASTA and XML output
We noticed a major memory problem running NCBI BLAST+ with XML output using a FASTA subject (consuming loads of swap space then getting killed). This doesn't happen with tabular output, nor if using a BLAST database:

Missing feature locations in GenBank "with parts"
My last blog post was on a problem with missing NCBI GenBank feature location information for trans-spliced genes when using GenBank 'with parts'. That was fixed, but while using EFetch a colleague just stumbled over something possibly related where the location is given as just a question mark. This took a little digging to understand...
Missing external exons in GenBank "with parts"
I recently stumbled on a problem in NCBI Entrez with the GenBank (with parts) return type. Some GenBank files don't actually contain a sequence at the end - instead they have a CONTIG section telling you how to construct the sequence from other referenced pieces. That's often inconvenient so the NCBI have the handy option of downloading it with all this parts pre-computed, which normally is great.
BAM versus CRAM v0.7
CRAM 0.7 was released earlier this month, and includes support for storing arbitrary read tags - a key requirement for it to be evaluated in existing pipelines as a BAM alternative. However, it doesn't preserve read names - which is a compression trick you can also do with plain BAM.
Reference based SAM/BAM compression
In some respects the SAM/BAM specification is quite loose, in that there is more than one way to represent a given piece of information. We can take advantage of this to reduce the size on disk of mapped reads which match the reference sequence, while still maintaining conformance within the spec. I've written a SAM/BAM reference based compression script in Python - put this in your pipeline and smoke it!
Ion Torrent Suite on GitHub
Good news - the Ion Torrent Suite is now freely available open source software on GitHub under the GPL v2 licence, as promised late last year. There is now something more substantial behind talk of Ion Torrent "democratising sequencing", and a clear advantage over the closed source tools of rival companies. I commend them!
Ion Torrent does the Samba
I'm a bit behind the curve here (see Lex's blog post from July 2011), but I was amused to find out Ion Torrent call their current nucleotide flow order
I wonder if the flow order next revision will also get a dance based name? I'd suggest conga, since it is about synchronising lots of people.
TACGTACGTCTGAGCATCGATCGATGTACAGC the "Samba". Apparently the idea is to avoid reads going out of phase which could happen with the traditional repeated flow
TACG (still used by Roche 454), by giving the molecules which missed a base a chance to catch up, and for IonTorrent this works better.

Elements - The Beauty of ChemistryActivity by David Grayson | added on Jul 18, 2011 | Ireland
Sponsor(s): Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin; School of Chemistry, Trinity College Dublin; Wellcome Trust
An exhibition that brings together Science and Art, focusing on selected elements from the Periodic Table. It includes an Atomic Kitchen, where visitors can do experiments, and there is a series of associated lab-based workshops specially designed to cater for the younger generation.
This exhibition brings together Science and Art, focusing on selected elements from the Periodic Table. It includes an Atomic Kitchen, where visitors of all ages can stir up some reactions and do experiments, and there is a series of associated lab-based workshops specially designed to cater for the younger generation. The Exhibition runs until September 23rd 2011. It is located in the award-winning Science Gallery http://www.sciencegallery.com/ at Trinity College Dublin, in the heart of Dublin city, and has been developed in collaboration with the Trinity College School of Chemistry http://www.chemistry.tcd.ie/, which celebrates its 300th anniversary this year. The Exhibition will be open Tuesdays-Fridays 12:00-20:00 and Saturdays-Sundays 12:00-18:00. The exhibition is closed on Mondays. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of €5.
In the "Portraits of the Elements" section exhibits include such diverse and thought-provoking items as a diamond made from cremation ashes, a pool of elemental Mercury that evolves stunning patterns when stimulated by an oscillator, and an Antony Gormley sculpture made of Iron.
At the anyone4science Chemistry Workshops, running four times each Friday until the Exhibition closes, participants aged 8-14 years will get to make their own Carbon, remove Oxygen from the air, grow their own salt and find out how much Helium is needed to lift them off the ground.
Members of the public have not been neglected, and are being invited to participate in an exciting "BYO Element" activity, bringing items containing specific elements to contribute to a gigantic "crowd-sourced" three-dimensional Periodic Table.
The performing arts meet Science on 4th August 2011, when Professor Carl Djerassi will visit the Gallery and will address the question of what the Theatre can do for Science, giving a dramatic reading of an excerpt from his play "PHALLACY", with a special focus on the element Copper.
The combination of beautiful and provocative exhibits, hands-on activities for young and old, and engagement of the public in creating their own super-sized Periodic Table all combine to make this flagship Exhibition a worthy IYC event.
After the Exhibition closes in Dubin on September 23rd it will move to the BergamoScienza festival in Italy, continuing to attract/inspire/educate its visitors about "Elements - The Beauty of Chemistry"

Can I Get a Banacek on Aisle 5?
April 23, 2008
More days off and more TV episodes logged in. Detective shows were the lingua franca of'70s television, so I've gradually been sampling them all, dropping the ones that bore me (McMillan and Wife, Quincy) and sticking with those that managed to achieve something creative within the limitations of the genre. Often that seems to have been an insurmountable task. Harry O, for example, slid almost immediately into a rote action/mystery formula that had bore little resemblance to the quirky, off-tempo character drama launched by its brilliant creator, Howard Rodman. Kojak is almost completely ordinary, despite having been managed by a succession of writer-producers of impeccable reputation (Abby Mann, Matthew Rapf, Jack Laird). Maybe it was because Telly Savalas (one of television's unlikeliest stars) was so intent on looking cool that he didn't want anything but the most generic cop-show cliches cluttering up his periphery.
(I'm pretty sure I've added Kojak to the reject list, but I will offer a parting, backhanded recommendation for the tenth episode, "Cop in a Cage," which pits Savalas against cult movie villain John P. Ryan as an ex-con out to get Kojak for putting him away. It's one of the most over-the-top showdowns between narcissistic ham actors that I've ever seen. Great fun.)
The only series I tackled this weekend that was completely new to me was Banacek, one of the NBC Mystery Movie franchise shows produced by Universal. When the NBC mystery wheel moved the three hits of its first season – Columbo, McCloud, and McMillan and Wife – to Sunday, the network launched three completely new properties in the original Wednesday time slot. Banacek was the only one of those to limp along to a second season. (The flops were Cool Million and Madigan, replaced the following year by Faraday and Company, The Snoop Sisters, and Tenafly – also duds. Although I'd love to see the latter, which starred the wonderfully acerbic James McEachin as a deglamorized African American private eye.).
I was curious about Banacek mainly because it was build around George Peppard, a downsliding sixties movie star I'd always enjoyed for the naked arrogance he radiated during his brief screen career. Peppard was perfect for roles like the Howard Hughes figure in The Carpetbaggers or the proto-nazi World War I ace in The Blue Max, since he seemed to luxuriate in a blatant anti-social quality, an I-don't-care-if-you-like-me-because-I'm-a-big-star 'tude that most of his peers held in check until the cameras were turned off. I was hoping Peppard would project his full-wattage movie star id as Banacek too, but in that sense the show was a bit of a disappointment. He's still pretty aloof and superior, as befits the character, but he also turns on an unctuous charm whenever an attractive woman is around. Somebody must have taken Peppard aside and explained to him about Q ratings.
If Columbo, the template for all the ninety-minute Universal detective series, was a howdunit that revealed the identity of the bad guy from the start, then Banacek tried to top it by being both a how- and a whodunit. Each episode depicts a daring theft before the opening titles, without showing the culprit, and leaves Banacek to ferret out the crook and piece together the details of his or her tricky scheme (usually in an extended reconstruction sequence in the last act).
Like Columbo, it was a format that demanded a lot of its writers. The first couple of episodes revolve around dazzling, seemingly impossible crimes – a football player who's kidnapped in the middle of a flying tackle (in Del Reisman's "Let's Hear It For a Living Legend") or a freight car that disappears from a moving train (David Moessinger's "Project Phoenix"). As the first season progressed, the crimes got more and more pedestrian. The show had a strong writing pedigree – it was created by Emmy nominee Anthony Wilson (the son of MGM producer/writer Carey Wilson, he died of a brain tumor a few years after Banacek) and produced by George Eckstein, a graduate of The Untouchables and The Fugitive – but it's a daunting task to come up with eight perfect heists a year. If you could, you wouldn't be a TV producer, you'd be, well, a master criminal.
One aspect of Banacek that I like, though, is that (except in the pilot TV movie that launched the series) nobody dies. Banacek is a "freelance insurance investigator" who solves big-ticket robberies and gleefully pockets a big fee from the insurance execs. That meant the show could strike a breezy tone – sending Banacek to bed, for instance, with each week's female guest star – without having to find some way to desensitize us against a rising body count. Giving Banacek corporate underwriters to work for also spared us the scene of the private eye agreeing to help some impoverished sad sack solve his grandma's or old army buddy's or pet schnauser's murder out of the goodness of his heart. That's a cliche I'm really getting tired of as I see it used over and over again, even in dark-hearted shows that should know better, like Harry O.
Banacek's DNA seems to come partly from Amos Burke, the preposterous millionaire homicide lieutenant who solved murders from the backseat of his Rolls in Aaron Spelling's trash classic Burke's Law. The most obvious nod to the earlier series is the presence here of the generally insufferable Ralph Manza as Banacek's chauffeur, Jay Drury, a comic Italian stereotype; Amos Burke also had an ethnic driver, a Chinese man named Henry (Leon Lontoc), as part of his entourage. Manza's comic relief is rarely funny, and his character makes no sense, given that Banacek travels around the country to solve his cases and would logically hire a local driver in each city rather than pay an annoying sidekick's travel expenses. But it just goes to show that even a smart series like this one struggled to get across all its necessary exposition without building in some characters for the loner-protagonist to talk to. (Banacek's other interlocutor was the arch, very gay rare-book dealer Felix Mulholland, played by Murray Matheson. Banacek wore a lot of turtlenecks and the car phone in his Packard was in an unbelievable shade of pastel blue, so I suppose there's a bisexual subtext to be unpacked if anyone cares to.)
One thing that puzzles me about Banacek is why everyone keeps harping on the title character's Polish ancestry. Herb Edelman refers to him as "Super Pole" in one episode and (my favorite) Broderick Crawford calls him Bananacek. I mean, it's not like everybody in Columbo went around pointing out to Peter Falk that he was a greasy little wop – even though Columbo (a blue-collar guy schlumping around among blue-blooded villains) might've expected some class snobbery, whereas Banacek is awfully well assimilated into the world of generic rich white folks. I guess it was an attempt to give a pretty bland character a little color in an era of proliferating crime shows where every hero had a gimmick. Cannon was the fat detective, Longstreet the blind detective, Barnaby Jones the old detective. But it comes across as totally forced, sort of like Ironside's bizarre fetish for chili in the early episodes of that series.
And finally a bit of pedantry: Something that frustrates me, as a historian, about these ninety-minute shows is that while the stories had room for more speaking parts than a typical hour-long series, the credits did not. So you tend to see a lot of fairly prominent supporting players who didn't receive billing, and whose names have thus been lost to history. Just in these eight Banacek episodes, I spotted a few familiar actors who, back in the day, were probably pretty apoplectic about being left off the credit roll. In "Project Phoenix," for instance, there's Stuart Nisbet as the head train guard, and Owen Bush as an engineer. "A Million the Hard Way" (perhaps the strongest first season segment, a casino robbery piece by Batman scribe Stanley Ralph Ross) features the reliable Irish fireplug Judson Platt, a late member of the John Ford stock company, in a sizeable speaking part as the guard in front of whose eyes the million bucks gets boosted. Lewis Charles appears in "The Greatest Collection of Them All" as Reilly, a waiter in Banacek's favorite restaurant, a part that might've been a recurring one if the show had amassed more than a handful of episodes. And it was a surprise and a pleasure to discover my old acquaintance Lonny Chapman, atypically sporting a mustache, turn up in a little unbilled cameo in the pilot TV movie, in a funny turn as a philosophical redneck bartender. Here he is:
So there are a few folks you won't find mentioned in the credits, or on the IMDb or anywhere else on the internet. But I'd sure love to dig around in Universal's production records and learn the names of the dozens of other actors who didn't make the cut.

It probably doesn't even count as that, more a (proposed) wiki convention. (Though maybe when Stanley is emperor of all Erfworld, he will perhaps decide that that battle was the turning point.)
After Warchalking
AW stands for "(turns) After Warchalking".
The turn numbering for Descriptive Table of Contents for TBFGK is relative to the first pages of the comic, during which the {first} battle of Warchalking happened. Thus 1 AW is the turn that the battle happened on.
It is a riff on the AD dating system, (Anno Domini).
Before Warchalking
As a corollary to AW, BW stand for "(turns) Before Warchalking". This referent would only refer to events that happened before the beginning of the comic. Since there is no Turn 0, 1 BW is the turn before the battle of Warchalking.
AW is 9 turns more than the "Turns since TBfGK" referenced at the beginning of each of the Book 1 Epilogues and Book 2 Prologues.
AW is 75 turns more than the Day number references in Book 3. That is, Day 1 of Book 3 is 76 AW.

Youth EB Picks: Coming of Age 'Illegal' from MPR News
January 10, 2013 in GPRX Blog by dylan
Nineteen-year-old Brenda from Minneapolis, Minnesota considers herself an American citizen, but to the US government she is an illegal immigrant. Coming to the US when she was seven, she was carried over the Mexican-American border by her mother. Now, twelve years later, she lives with her mother, stepfather, sister, little brother, older brother and his son. She had to quit school a month before graduating so she could work to help support her family, but has since gone back to finish her education and wants to go on to get a job working with children.
This was a well-crafted and interesting piece, with great interviews and an inspiring story. The only problem I had was after the mother's interview; it was a little confusing, but it made more since later on in the story. All in all, though, I found this to be an excellent presentation.

Got this from Lowes for $5 in January 2013.
Planted it in a difficult area near the water tap, but it should get water from the roof when it rains.
Still there and growing. Nice well waterred bit that gets all the rain from the roof.
Seems to be holding its own which is promising.

Rodgers eyes 'major signing'
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is still hopeful of making a major signing to boost their push for Champions League qualification.
A resounding 4-0 victory over Everton in the 222nd Merseyside derby at Anfield courtesy of two goals from Daniel Sturridge - who missed a penalty to complete his hat-trick - and strikes from Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez provided a welcome shot in the arm to their top-four hopes.
And despite being frustrated so far in his attempts to bolster his injury-hit fourth-placed squad the Reds boss believes there is still time to make a significant signing before the window closes on Friday.
"I think we will hopefully do something over the next couple of days," he said.
"I saw some headlines after yesterday's press conference in terms of the manager being angry with the club - nothing is further from the truth.
"We are not just going to get the players we want to get in for a number of reasons.
"Hopefully we can have a major signing before the window shuts and if we can do that we will be set up for the remaining games."
Rodgers felt the performance against their near neighbours was just what was needed to reinvigorate their top-four challenge.
"I think all wins are important but especially against your rivals and psychologically it was a big win and can re-iterate the confidence and belief in the squad," said Rodgers.
"We have to keep our foot to the floor and keep these performances and keep scoring goals.
"This was a massive game. I think we have shown all season we are going to be in contention for fourth place."
Everton boss Roberto Martinez was left to worry over the fitness of striker Romelu Lukaku who injured ankle ligaments in a collision with Gareth Barry.
"He has his ankle in a cast," said Martinez. "We will assess it but it doesn't look too good at the moment."

Some prominent health insurers, including industry giant UnitedHealth Group Inc., are not participating in California's new state-run health insurance market, possibly limiting the number of choices for millions of consumers.
UnitedHealth, the nation's largest private insurer, Aetna Inc. and Cigna Corp. are sitting out the first year of Covered California, the state's insurance exchange and a key testing ground nationally for a massive coverage expansion under the federal healthcare law.
Meanwhile, the biggest insurers in the state — Kaiser Permanente, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of California — are all expected to participate in the state-run market for individual health coverage.
Quiz: Test your healthcare knowledge
Covered California, the state agency implementing the federal Affordable Care Act, is announcing the winning bidders and proposed rates Thursday for its insurance exchange, where as many as 5 million residents are expected to shop for coverage next year.
The state has picked a group of health plans for each of 19 regions across California. The insurers will be selling policies with uniform benefits packaged in four broad categories of coverage. For the first time in the individual market, consumers will be able to make easier price comparisons among companies.
But the threat of higher premiums in next year's revamped market has been a major concern for policymakers who can't risk alienating too many middle-income, healthier customers who are needed to offset the increased costs of covering sicker, poorer people who have been shut out of the healthcare system for years.
UnitedHealth, Aetna and Cigna are small players now in California's individual health insurance market. More of their business is focused on large employers, where most Californians receive their health coverage. But the companies signaled a wait-and-see approach on these new government-run marketplaces.
Together, in 2011, those three big insurers had 7% of California's individual health insurance market, according to Citigroup research. In contrast, Kaiser, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield had nearly 87%, collectively. Anthem Blue Cross is a unit of WellPoint Inc., the nation's second-largest health insurer.
Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California, declined to comment on specific companies ahead of Thursday's announcement. But he rejected any criticism that diminished competition could lead to higher premiums and fewer choices.
"There will be plenty of price competition for California consumers," Lee said in an interview Wednesday. "They will be benefiting from robust competition."
A spokesman for Minnetonka, Minn.-based UnitedHealth said, "We are simply taking the time to carefully evaluate and better understand how the exchanges will work to ensure we are best prepared to participate meaningfully in their development."
Joseph Mondy, a spokesman for Bloomfield, Conn.-based Cigna, said the company chose to participate in exchanges in only half of the 10 states where it sells individual health policies. Those states include Arizona, Colorado and Florida. "We will continue to offer individual plans going forward, but we've decided not to participate in Covered California in 2014," Mondy said.
Aetna, the nation's third-largest health insurer, based in Hartford, Conn., referred questions to Covered California.
Glenn Melnick, a health policy professor at USC, said there could be advantages and disadvantages if the state's three largest insurers — Kaiser, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield — grab even more business through the exchange. Their increased market power could give them even better bargaining leverage with hospitals and doctors, helping them to drive down healthcare costs.
But Melnick said it remained to be seen whether "the market is competitive enough that those companies will pass along those savings."
Melnick said UnitedHealth, Aetna and Cigna may be making a mistake by sitting on the sidelines given California's size and importance in the healthcare overhaul nationwide. "California is going to be a trendsetter," he said.
Other health policy experts said the lack of these national health plans in the California exchange isn't a major problem because the exchange probably will announce some new regional competitors.
"We will see a lot of interesting competition by region," said Micah Weinberg, a senior policy advisor at the Bay Area Council, an employer-backed nonprofit group in San Francisco.

In March, state officials issued a report estimating that, compared with what individual policies cost now, premiums may rise an average of 30% for many middle-income residents who don't get their insurance through their employers.
At the same time, lower-income consumers will reap the biggest savings and are projected to save as much as 84% off their coverage thanks to federal subsidies.
In California, individuals earning less than about $16,000 will qualify for an expansion of Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program for the poor. Above that threshold, individuals making less than $46,000 and families earning below $94,000 annually will qualify for federal subsidies.
Starting in January, most Americans will be required to have health insurance or face a penalty.

I indicated this some time ago and got some grief over this. Few of the distro makers seem to like this concept. I want the unit up, running all drivers needed (and only those drivers needed), with the network, and a barebones admin package (ssh, ipmitools, ...). Getting there with most prebuilt distros is excruciatingly hard. I have gotten SuSE down to a 1.4 GB install, bare minimum that I can make it and satisfy all dependencies, and have a functional compute node. More if I need to get the 32 bit packages there. RH I have not seen an install below about 2GB. Rocks tries to do a minimal install, and yet you see packages that largely won't be used on nodes being installed in order to satisfy dependencies of packages that will be used. This is not the Rocks people's fault, it is the underlying distribution. You can use DSL and other "small" distros as long as you don't mind using ancient kernels, missing drivers, ... This unfortunately doesn't satisfy the needs. Caos3 should (in theory, haven't tried it yet) handle most of this, be a very tight install, limited package dependency radius, and still be quite usable/fast. > things that from time immemorial has bugged me about the red hat install > process is its complete lack of robustness, so that if for any reason it > fails in midstream, one pretty much has to start over. This has always YES!!!!! These problems plague every RH derived distro as well. FC derived as well. Anaconda may be great at many things.

No, you are the only person to respond about MOSIX2 so far! I've got to admit that although I'm very happy with my experience of openMosix I can't continue using it without the support of the rest of the openMosix community. So far, I've been in touch with Amnon Barak (amnon at cs.huji.ac.il) who put me in contact with his MOSIX2 developer Amnon Shiloh u3557 at miso.sublimeip.com) of Shiloh Distributed Solutions Pty/Ltd.: http://www.mosix.com.au/ He confirmed that MOSIX2 is 'free' for academic use, but even so I would have to pay them $1,000 per year to obtain 'updates' and run the current version. I don't rule this out, but I'm not entirely happy about it. Please let me know about other people you know who might be interested in using MOSIX2. I've cc'ed this email to the Beowulf list in case there are other people on the list using or interested in trying out MOSIX2. Thanks for getting in touch, Tony. -- Dr. A.J.Travis, University of Aberdeen, Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, Greenburn Road, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB21 9SB, Scotland, UK tel +44(0)1224 712751, fax +44(0)1224 716687, http://www.rowett.ac.uk mailto:ajt at rri.sari.ac.uk, http://bioinformatics.rri.sari.ac.uk/~ajt

MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- By day, you'll find Michael Rivers working the sanitation shift in Larchmont/Mamaroneck, but by night -- and even on his shift -- you can find him humming or singing a tune.
That's because his real love is music, primarily soul and R & B. In fact, the Mamaroneck resident is in the midst of recording his second album at Warehouse Music in Mount Vernon. His goal is to get The Rivers of Truth, which contains a variety of styles, released by October or November. (His first album, Try To Work It Out, was released in 2014.)
Rivers, who plays a little keyboard and guitar but mostly likes songwriting, started his career growing up in North Carolina where he sang in church, later segueing to clubs. When he moved to Mamaroneck in 1978 -- he's an MHS grad -- the singing continued, mostly at gigs in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Getting up early -- think 5 a.m. -- and working into the wee hours of the night doesn't bother him. Singing, he said, energizes him.
After 17 years on the job, the folks on his route know him well. Said Rivers: "They know I'm on shift because they can hear me singing from down the block."
