Mountain Dew Regional Gold / Johson City Gold / Malt Dew
I was wondering when these regionally named Malt Dews (called Miner's Malt in my neck of the woods) were launching in stores. They have all the names and can designs but their website www.yourmaltdew.com hasn't mentioned when they were hitting stores. Anyone from Pepsi or the industry know? Its strange I haven't heard a release date for this Malt Dew and suddenly I'm hearing about MD Kickstart all over the internet (except here surprisingly) http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/...psico/1908923/ and that its being released February 25. http://www.kickstartfirsttaste.com/
Also it seems like 2013 is going to be a light year overall for new sodas / soft drinks (at least compared to recent years). If this is so, I'll be buying less new sodas and more glass bottle sodas and "favorites".
I haven't seen any Malt Dews yet but most supermarkets I'm in have had stacks of Kickstart for over a week now.Whatcha gonna do mama now that the roast beef is gone?
The original two Kickstart flavors are "morning" Mountain Dews. The two new ones - black cherry and limeade are "night" Mountain Dews. The cans are black.
I am honestly surprised that this concept succeeded. I think it's akin to a cheap energy drink, like the ones you see at the dollar store.

They were priced right at $1 to $1.50 each, making it cheaper than 20 oz bottles of Mtn Dew. That's probably played a major part of their modest success.

BERLIN (AP) -- Bundesliga club Hoffenheim says midfielder Boris Vukcevic has awoken from a coma, 1 months after he was injured in a car accident.
Vukcevic was put into an induced coma after operations following the accident on Sept. 28, when his car collided head-on with a truck.
Hoffenheim says the 22-year-old German is conscious a few hours a day and able to communicate with his relatives.
But the club says that in view of the head injuries he suffered it's still not possible to make any "serious forecast" about prospects for a full recovery.

Hanson 'Get the Girl Back' on 'Leno'
Hanson treated us to a sneak peek at new material on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' last night (April 9) when they performed their latest single 'Get the Girl Back.'
Backed by a horn section, brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac showcased their signature harmonies we all fell in love with back in 1997 – and proved that they still have what it takes to make a smash hit. If the clip above doesn't have you clapping and singing along by the end, we don't know what will.
Hanson's new album 'ANTHEM' is due out on June 18, and in the meantime, you can check out the official video for their brand-new tune, which features actresses Kat Dennings and Nikki Reed, along with an appearance by recent Belieber enemy Drake Bell.

Michael Kelly is an excellent editor, columnist and reporter. Now with with the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq, his reports are mandatory reading. His column this morning is "Limited war, so far."
On the home front, we have Mark Steyn to help us keep our eye on the big picture and to keep our morale up: "Believe it or not, we're winning." Steyn reviews the media's hysterical performance regarding Iraq and notes that "Gen. Tommy Franks has been transformed from the new MacArthur into the new MacArthur Park: Someone left his cakewalk in the rain, we don't think that he can take it 'cause it took so long to bake it and he'll never find that recipe again. Oh, no."
In the news, one notes a certain similarity between the enemy we are facing in Iraq — "Enemy unleashes suicide bombers" — and the one the Israelis are facing — "Dozens hurt in Netanya suicide attack."
Ralph Peters takes a look at the peculiarities of Arab culture that have manifested themselves during the war in Iraq: "Tragedy of the Arabs." Peters offers the following overview: "No Arab state is a true democracy. No Arab state genuinely respects human rights. No Arab state hosts a responsible media. No Arab society fully respects the rights of women or minorities. No Arab government has ever accepted public responsibility for its own shortcomings."
I would add two points. The Arab contribution to civilization in the past hundred years appears to be limited to the suicide bomber. And the Arabs with the greatest civil and political rights in the Middle East are of course the Arab citizens of Israel.

(We assume that this is how Barnett's contract negotiation went down.)
Although we might have jumped the gun when we noticed that Josh Barnett's profile had been added to UFC.com some weeks back — which honestly, can you blame us? – it finally appears that the perennial top heavyweight IS in fact headed back to the UFC despite rejecting his initial contract. For serious this time (via MMAJunkie/USA Today):
USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com today confirmed with promotion officials that former UFC heavyweight champion Barnett has signed a new multi-fight deal with the promotion and is expected to make his return to the octagon later this year. An official announcement is expected soon.
"The Warmaster" has not competed since effortlessly strangling out some dude at the final Strikeforce event, but his addition to the UFC's apparently shallow heavyweight division will undoubtedly make for some fireworks. Who would you like to see Barnett face first, Potato Nation? Personally, I'd like to see him rematch Nandor Guelmino, the scary-looking sumbitch who if I recall correctly gave Barnett one hell of a fight at…what's that? You say Nandor *is* the guy Barnett effortlessly tapped at the final Strikeforce event? Joe Silva, I don't know how you pull it off, you magnificent "mean little f*cker."
To celebrate Barnett's sure-to-be-triumphant return, we've compiled the definitive collection of Warbringer songs (and the Bolt Thrower song after which Barnett is nicknamed) after the jump. If you don't understand why, well then you just don't know Josh Barnett.

HANG TIME, Texas — How far around the bend do you have to go before you've come full circle back to the NBA?
How far do you have to fall before you get desperate enough for any kind of a soft landing?
Delonte West, meet the Knicks.
Marc Berman of the New York Post notes there will be more than a couple of teams watching as West makes his debut in the NBA D-League tonight when the Texas Legends face the Santa Cruz Warriors, but the Knicks may certainly be the most interesting of the lot.
As the playoffs draw near and the team that started out the season like a house on fire continues to look like a burned-out wreckage, would the Knicks be ready to take a real gamble on the 29-year-old point guard with a history of trouble?
Nobody questions his talent as a capable backup quarterback. He's been part of playoff teams in six of his eight NBA seasons. But West's career has also been marked by off-court problems that hardly make him dependable. He was said to be ready to make his comeback with the Legends earlier this season, but backed out at the last minute. Now he probably sees that the D-League is his only chance at a return.
The Knicks could be equally as desperate at the point as Jason Kidd, Raymond Felton, Iman Shumpert and Pablo Prigioni all have not measured up of late. After opening the season 18-5 back on Dec. 15, the Knicks are a thoroughly mediocre 20-20. They have lost three straight, four of five and 10 of their last 17 heading into Sunday's game in L.A. against the Clippers. Having spent the first month-and-a-half titillating New Yorkers as the No. 1 seed, they are now far closer in the standings to the No. 8 seed and a first-round playoff matchup against Miami than to actually catching up to the streaking Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.
The Knicks would have to make a roster cut, probably the injured Rasheed Wallace, to make room for West and they're most likely not there yet.
But keep an eye on how the current five-game road trip ends — with a back-to-back in L.A. and Utah — and how West performs in the D-League. Desperation makes strange bedfellows.

Washington, D.C. (Nov. 21, 2013)—The Independent Community Bankers of America® (ICBA) today thanked the House Financial Services Committee for approving two ICBA-advocated bills that would strengthen governance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and help ensure balanced rulemaking. The Responsible Consumer Financial Protection Regulations Act of 2013 (H.R. 2446) and the Consumer Financial Protection Safety and Soundness Improvement Act of 2013 (H.R. 3193) would make needed reforms to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) governance and rulemaking. Both bills are priority items in ICBA's Plan for Prosperity regulatory relief platform, which is advancing through Congress.
"ICBA thanks the House Financial Services Committee members for advancing important bills to give prudential regulators a stronger, more meaningful role in CFPB rule writing," ICBA President and CEO Camden R. Fine said. "These common-sense reforms will help ensure CFPB rules are balanced and that new rules do not conflict with safety and soundness principles or inhibit the nation's community banks from supporting economic growth in their communities."
H.R. 2446, sponsored by Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), would change the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau so that it is governed by a five-member commission rather than a single director. Commission governance would allow for a greater variety of views and expertise at the bureau, build in a system of checks and balances, help ensure the actions of the CFPB are measured and nonpartisan, and support balanced and high-quality rules and consumer protection.
H.R. 3193, sponsored by Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.), would strengthen the review standard for CFPB rules by authorizing the Financial Services Oversight Council to set aside any CFPB rule if a majority of the council, excluding the CFPB director, finds that it is "inconsistent with the safe and sound operations" of U.S. financial institutions. Current law requires a vote of two thirds of the council and a finding that the rule puts the banking or financial system at risk, which is an excessively high standard. In addition, the bill requires the CFPB to consider the impact of any rule on the financial safety or soundness of insured depository institutions.
ICBA has long advocated these provisions and testified on behalf of similar legislation in the 112th Congress. Other Plan for Prosperity provisions have already advanced in the House this year. The House Financial Services Committee last week approved H.R. 3329, introduced by Reps. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) and Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.), to increase the qualifying asset threshold of the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement from $500 million to $1 billion and to allow small savings and loan holding companies to be covered by its provisions. Additionally, the full House in March approved H.R. 749, also introduced by Luetkemeyer, to eliminate the requirement that financial institutions mail annual privacy notices even when no change in policy has occurred.

speak at this hoard which hear the substance if it surpasses the semblance i of original new england hospitality applause and honors a sentiment that in turn honors you but in which niv personality is lost and the compli ment to people made plain | laughter i bespeak the utmost stretch of your courtesy to-night i beo that vou will bring yonr full faith in american fairness and frank ness to a

pro ceed cheerfully to the task 1 otherwise approach with a sense of consecration puritan and cavalier here together pardon me one word mr president spoken forth 1 purpose of getting into the volumes that go out annually freighted with the rich eloquence of your speakers - the fact the cavalier as well as the puritan was on this conti nent in its early days and that he was up and able to he about

in your charming little book we shall let him work out his own sal vation a he has always done with en gaging gallantry and we will hold no controversy as to his merits why should we neither puritan nor cava lier long survived as such the virtues and traditions of both happily still live for the inspiration of their sons and the saving of til old fashion applause but both puritan and cavalier

books not the least distinguished of these unnoted heroes was the subject of this ketch to whose bravery the safe ty of richmond was perhaps in great measure due at the tune jen butler attempted the capture of that city in may 1864 flax wood of ytidlrin county n c enlisted as a private in the confederate army before he was fifteen years of age at the first battle of alunn&siis or bull hun he was wounded and iu 1803 he was transferred from whar ton's n c batallion to serve as courier to brigadier general hole the staff officers of gen hoke finding that wo d had had no advantages of educa tion and that he w;;s very desirious lo improve himself taught him to read and write and a bright pupil he prov ed himself to be in l8g4 when hoke was promoted to major-general wood was made division scout a position for which he had proved that he was well fitted though he was then only eigh teen years old sometimes however he made the very unusual error in judgment of capturing to many pris oners many were his successful forays upon the federal outposts and on one occasion when single-handed he had compelled the surrendi r of nine men and brought them safely into emnp he had to be told that information and not prisoners was what he had been sent for and that however desirable the hitter might be the former was of more importance in may l s th when gen butler landed at bermuda hundreds with two army corps the confederate forces at first in his front were entirely insuffi cient to resist successfully his march upon richmond he advanced to the neighborhood of drury's bluff and go ing into position extended his left un til it seemed inevitable thai he would en velop the right of the confederate position and gel possession of the mad to richmond this movement it was essential to cheek but how the troops then at hand were not equal to the task and to get reinforcements time was necessary the question was how to get this precious time gen hoke who commanded on the c nfed erate right determined to attempt its solution by a ruse as bold as unusual night was not far off audit was felt that if butler's further movement could be delayed until darkness fell all would be we'll calling up wood gen hoke explained to him the position fully and ak.'d him if he were willing to give his life if need be to save richmond with nit hesitation the boy for he was hardly more — replied that he was he was then dressed in the uniform of \ a federal cavalryman and ordered first to get in some way into the rear of the federal position and then to ride bold ly as if coming from the river to gen j butler's headquarters and report to him that the confederates were land ing in heavy force on the lames river on his right and rear this done tie was to ride away rapidly as if return i ing to his post without waiting to be questioned closely wood having thor ough knowledge of the country rode off on his perilous errand after he had been gone for what seemed a very long time it was observed that the [ threatening movement ot the federals ceased and it was evident that there was some change being made in their disposition shortly thereafter to the •' surprise of every one no one expecting ever to see him again wood rode up safa and sound and saluting general lloke reported that he had carried out his instructions to the letter mean while night had come on before next j morning the confederate reinforce ments came up and the result of the subsequent battle of drury's bl«n and the bottling up of butler at bermu da hundreds are well known most of the few persons who were aware of what wood had attempted ■could not believe that it was possible • for him to have done as he said and to eseape unharmed but shortly after the close of the war gen lloke met j col michie of butler's staff and ask ed if wood had reported to them as re lated col michie replied that a cav j alryman did ride up to their deadquar ters and made the report stated and that though he was somewhat suspect ed of being a confederate spy he was not detained that the movement to their federal left was arrested until the report could be investigated and that when it was ascertained to lie false it was too late to resume the move that night for this and other acts of gallantry wood was made a commissioned officer by president davis under authority of a law providing expressly for such cases but the brave fellow did not ! outlive the struggle in which he had \ b irne himself so well he came to his i death near the end of the war through i treachery and he met it with the same i fearlessness that had characterized his \ previous career after the evacuation of wilmington in february 1865 the i confedemte forces lay for a short time ', on the north of that city while they ; were there wood was sent down the right bank of the main river to obtain j 1 information scouting around in the neighbor hood of wilmington in brunswick i countv he met a citizen who invited him to his house and emphasized the invitation by adding some of your friends arc there wood suspecting j nothing went with the man and when he entered thehou.-e found himself con fronted by a federal lieutenant and a squad of soldiers who demanded his immediate surrender for reply he shot dead the traitor who had betrayed j him andendeavoie.l to escape lie was shot down but not it was said until j

Last year, Drew Struzan contributed portraits of the classic Universal monsters to a special exhibition organized by Mondo, Alamo Drafthouse's collectible art division, designed to celebrate the ongoing legacy and influence of the studio's horror canon. Now the legendary illustrator is back with a poster inspired by one of his favorite current TV series, Syfy's "Being Human."
The show, adapted from the BBC series of the same name, centers on three supernatural roommates, ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath), werewolf Josh (Sam Huntington) and vampire Aidan (Sam Witwer), and it was Witwer's friendship with Struzan that led to the creation of the unique poster, which also depicts Kristen Hager's werewolf Nora.
The duo recently spoke to Hero Complex about how their mutual admiration translated into the new image, which was unveiled this week at a special "Being Human" event at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills.
Drew, why were you interested in creating a poster for "Being Human"?
Drew Struzan: I was always a fan of the show myself. What you may not know is that I am retired and have been for about four years. I thought 45 years was more than enough time to suffer, so I quit. But I always said that I would come out of retirement for friends and loyal patrons because you can't work for 45 years with people and just walk away…. I have this friend that happens to be the lead actor in a TV show that I love, and that would be Sam Witwer. So, Sam being my good friend and "Being Human" being such a wonderful show, and them needing a poster, how could I say no?
Sam Witwer: One of the things that was definitely on my list in a big way [as an actor] was … 'God, wouldn't it be cool to be in a project that was represented by a piece of Drew's art?' He just kind of makes the heroes look more heroic, the women look softer and more feminine …
DS: … and the monsters more monstrous!
Drew, how do you decide what projects to take?
DS: Well, when I started out I was so hungry if you'd just look my way I'd do a project for you. But as my work increased and my reputation did, people saw that my work was very positive. It's always beautiful and always has a positive bent to it. People in the industry were smart enough to only offer me work that looked like stuff I usually do, so I didn't really have a problem choosing projects. They'd come to me, and they'd always be very nice. I figure someone spends millions of dollars and years developing their ideas and writing the scripts and casting and acting and all the stuff that has to be done to make a production — so there's got to be something there that's really good, that someone's in love with. I can find that love in it and just represent it in what I do.
Sam, were there any specific supernatural role models that might have inspired your approach to the character of Aidan?
SW: In terms of vampire stuff, I think the vampire that I know the best would be the original Bela Lugosi's Dracula. I haven't watched the current crop of vampire stuff, you know "True Blood" and "Vampire Diaries," I haven't seen them. I don't really know what everyone else is doing. I'm approaching it from the point of view of "Being Human." Strangely enough, especially this season, we tend to have the most grounded view of this monster phenomenon that people are so fascinated with these days — their fascination with vampires or werewolves. Ours just seems to be very two-feet-on-the-ground. For me, when I read the script, what drew me was realizing that it wasn't about monsters, it was about, in my case, a man battling an addiction. When I first got the script, I turned it down. I thought that we didn't need another vampire. It wasn't until a friend of mine forced me to read the script and I realized that there was more there.
Did that grounded view influence how you approached creating the poster, Drew?
DS: Very much so. Me and Sam talked it over. Being a fan of the show — that's why I like it because it's so metaphoric about having troubles in life, whatever they may be, and trying to work them out and be human in your situation no matter what it is and not letting the sorrows beat you down…. We decided that it would be very interesting if the point of view is that they're afraid of people finding out who they are. We're turning the tables here in saying, 'They're not scary to us, but we're kind of scaring them." We thought that was a neat way of keeping it grounded.
SW: Drew keeps saying "we" did this, and "we" did that…. I did nothing. All I did was fill him in on what's happening in Season 3, then I just let him go. And I love the fact that when Drew created the poster he got to, in a way, play the characters. This is Drew's interpretation of these characters. He decided to feature the characters over their monstrous elements, which I believe is exactly our show.
Are there elements of the poster that hint about the future direction of the series?
SW: Interestingly enough, you have me protectively holding Sally and there's definitely a very strong relationship between those two characters this year — more so perhaps than any other year. Then you have, as Drew pointed out, a certain amount of fear from the characters, but the Nora character … she's got a ferocity about her. There's something else going on there. And Josh, he's kind of looking to restrain her. There's a lot of really fun elements to where, if I was to tell you what happens this season, it's indicated in the art.
Do you have a favorite piece Drew's done, Sam?
SW: I was very drawn by the stuff he did for "The Shawshank Redemption." In fact, when I went to New Orleans to shoot "The Mist" with Frank Darabont … well, maybe some people know this and some people don't, but "The Mist" is all about Drew. It's about a poster artist [played by Thomas Jane] who gets caught up with all this supernatural craziness. When you go into Tom Jane's studio, it's all Drew's work. So basically Tom is playing Drew. Anyway, those of us who were quick on the take grabbed Drew's work off the walls when we finished, and I got a "Shawshank Redemption" piece.
Drew, are there other projects that might draw you out of retirement?
DS: To tell you the truth, I don't follow the industry any more because I'm retired. I don't expect to have my heart set on anything. My heart's set on my family and my grandkids and my friends. If something comes along, it's just giving me a few extra dollars to spend on the kids, but I don't have dreams about doing anything more. If I can do it again without losing my touch, then I'm happy to do it.

The one-year circle for Amari Cooper will be complete Jan. 7.
On that day, the Miami native will perform in the BCS National Championship Game at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., almost a year to the day after he left to enroll in classes at the University of Alabama.
TUSCALOOSA | The one-year circle for Amari Cooper will be complete Jan. 7.
On that day, the Miami native will perform in the BCS National Championship Game at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., almost a year to the day after he left to enroll in classes at the University of Alabama.
The freshman wide receiver has needed just 12 months to accomplish a lot: getting acclimated to college life, taking hold of a significant role in spring practice, overcoming injuries and, ultimately, posting arguably the most impressive season by a freshman receiver in school history.
"It's a dream come true. It's the stage I dreamed of being on in high school," Cooper said after Alabama's 32-28 win over Georgia for the Southeastern Conference title. "It's a dream come true, and I can't wait to go and play in front of my hometown."
Cooper enters the BCS title game with 53 catches for 894 yards, the sixth-highest single-season total for receiving yards in school history. Cooper is just five catches and 30 yards behind the season Julio Jones posted in 2008 that set school freshman records. His nine touchdowns put him just one behind the school record of 10, set by Al Lary in 1950.
And against Notre Dame on Jan. 7, with 106 yards, he would become just the fourth player in school history to post a 1,000-yard receiving season. Julio Jones and David Palmer accomplished that once each, while D.J. Hall did it twice.
And after last weekend, it's also become clear he can play his best in the biggest of games. He played a huge role in Alabama's 32-28 win over Georgia in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game last weekend, catching seven passes for 127 yards. One of those was a game-winner, a 45-yard deep touchdown pass from AJ McCarron with 3:15 remaining.
"We were going to take a shot the first play of that series. I said, 'Let's try to take the clock and the game, make a first down or two, then take one, and they kept playing that same thing, trying to stop the run," UA coach Nick Saban said. "So it was a big play on third-and-5 to get a first down running the ball. We would have gone for it on fourth down there, I think, for sure. Then we took the shot and AJ made a great throw and Coop made a great catch."
That wasn't where Cooper's impact began, however.
It was only where it ended.
In the first half, he fought Georgia standout free safety Bacarri Rambo for a 44-yard catch that flipped field position in Alabama's favor. McCarron also threw Cooper several short hitch passes, and Cooper said some of those were check-offs by McCarron when he noticed the Bulldogs cornerbacks playing too far off him.
Cooper came across as anything but brash or boastful after his performance in Atlanta. Instead, he deferred credit to teammates. But he also carries a certain level of confidence in his ability that is basic to successful athletes.
"That's why I came to Alabama. ... I came to Alabama expecting this. This is what I expected, and it's what happened," he said.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, in his first public remarks after learning of the Alabama-Notre Dame matchup, made clear reference to Cooper without naming him specifically.
"I think what makes them very difficult to defend is that they've got a great playmaker on the perimeter as well, where you can throw the ball down the field," Kelly said.
It was the kind of season Alabama's Chris Black, another freshman receiver from the Sunshine State, had hoped for. But Cooper's good fortune can't strike everyone. Black's first year of college was more about misfortune. A shoulder injury sustained in fall camp put an end to Black's season before it had a chance to start. And while Black has recovered and was available to play against Georgia last weekend, he has yet to play this season.
Black, however, is among Cooper's biggest fans.
"He definitely represented the state of Florida. We've got the best athletes (in Florida)," said Black, who is roommates with Cooper. "I'm very proud of him. We're good friends."

In the face of increasing world energy demands, could the abundance of woody biomass in the South provide some relief? William Batchelor certainly believes so.
"A bit over a third of the world's population is beginning to be unlocked in terms of diet," said the head of the Mississippi State University Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department at the LSU AgCenter-sponsored AgOutlook 2008 Conference in Monroe, La., on Feb. 26. "We're beginning to reach a breaking point between food and energy on our agricultural lands."
One thing that could help push that breaking point further into the future is the "vast amount of woody, biomass resources." There are three main areas researchers are looking at to convert woody biomass to energy for profit.
Cellulosic ethanol: "This is the one you hear about (on TV networks) and is the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) chosen pathway to convert woody biomass to ethanol, a transportation fuel. You take woody biomass and use enzymes to deteriorate the cell wall. The sugars within the cells are then released into a stream that can be fermented and turned into ethanol."
While technology already exists to make such fuel, it is expensive and needs further refining.
"The DOE has chosen to dump lots and lots of money into this over the next couple of years. Last year, they funded about $300 million in projects called 'genomics to life.' They want to understand how to break down the cell walls and drive down the cost of the enzyme technology."
There's a lot of "high hope and expectations" that eventually 200 bio-refineries will be found around the country. In order to reach government mandates, said Batchelor, all would bring in biomass, convert it to ethanol and then pump that into the transportation fuel network.
Fast pyrolysis: This is another technique to convert woody biomass into an oil — a bio-oil. The process requires biomass to be heated at 500 to 600 Celsius, under no oxygen, before it liquefies.
"The advantage is it can be produced in existing petroleum refineries. We, the public, have already made the investment in the huge infrastructure that supplies our transportation fuel.
"To me, the disadvantage of cellulosic ethanol is the model currently requires the development of about 200 bio-refineries that would compete with petroleum refineries, which are currently sitting on a lot of cash. (The petroleum industry) can probably knock the knees out from under (competing bio-refineries) any time they want to."
Syngas: A third conversion technology — synthesis gas — has been around for decades. It was developed in the 1930s during WWII when Hitler realized he wouldn't have unlimited petroleum supplies to fight the war.
"Basically, you burn the biomass and capture the gas stream that comes off…The exhaust can be converted to transportation fuel."
The top research priority for Batchelor and colleagues is to make bio-oil from woody biomass. Their second priority is to make gasoline from synthesis gas.
When creating bio-oil, the team currently makes use of a pyrolysis reactor, a mobile unit that can be put on a trailer. The trailer can be pulled to the site where biomass is being harvested.
"That begins to eliminate the 50-mile radius hauling (restriction that is commonly cited). This is a business model we believe will be very fruitful in the Southeast. It will allow more Mom-and-Pop companies making bio-oil, circulating dollars in rural economies where jobs are needed."
While mobile reactors can go where needed — including disaster areas where they could help with recovery efforts — Batchelor envisions regional reactors, as well. "The regional reactors could be tied to an area where there are several pulp and paper companies in a tight radius."
Bio-oils can be produced from many different types of biomass. Anything that contains lignin can be converted into bio-oil. Feedstock can include perennial grasses like switchgrass, elephant grass, sorghum-sudan grass, giant miscanthus, cotton gin trash, and kenaf.
"When you think about cotton gin trash, you see the pile and think there's an awful lot available. But when you calculate the tons and converting it to barrels of bio-oil going into a refinery, there really isn't a lot of it."
A typical bio-oil may contain more than 200 chemical compounds. The unique thing about it is the molecules can be rearranged to make petroleum products.
"Bio-oil has about 50 percent of the energy content of petroleum — anywhere from 7,500 to 8,000 Btu per pound. That translates to about 75,500 to 80,000 Btu per gallon compared to home heating oil of 130,000 Btu per gallon. Bio-oil is (economically) competitive when oil is anywhere from $50 to $80 per barrel."
How many biomass tons are required to produce a barrel?
"There's about a 50 to 60 percent weight conversion. So a ton of biomass will produce about a half-ton of bio-oil. That's on a dry basis."
When making bio-oil, "you can't immediately send it to Conoco or Shell and have them turn it into gasoline. It needs some upgrade.
"Part of the debate in our circle is who should upgrade the bio-oil? Should it be upgraded at the source? Or, if it can be transported and moved fast enough, do you let the refineries upgrade it? We're in discussion with several refineries on that very issue."
Bio-oil isn't without problems:
Variable viscosity.
High acidity (2.2 to 3.0). "It'll rust things quickly. You can actually inject it into a diesel engine but it would corrode it."
Pungent odor. "For those of you that have been around 100 percent bio-diesel tractors that smell like McDonald's fries — that isn't how it would smell running on bio-oil."
Lower energy density.
The fact that bio-oil can be refined in existing infrastructure "is a big key going forward and will be part of the national debate over the next couple of years. How much is the U.S. public willing to invest in an independent bio-refinery industry?"
The estimated cost of building a single bio-refinery is between $100 million and $200 million. That will mean huge investments by taxpayers.
"A lot of these companies may very well be built on our backs. Already, several bio-refineries have been funded at $50 million each."
Batchelor says such comments aren't "very popular…in DOE circles. They're placing all their bets on developing an entirely new industry that will be competitive with the existing petroleum refinery industry."
Until it was cancelled around 2003, the DOE had a long-running bio-oil program. "They were the experts. Then, they began putting a lot of bets on ethanol and redirected a lot of that research."
Meanwhile, "the petroleum companies, in my opinion, have become concerned there may be a mandate for 10 or 20 percent renewable transportation fuel. They've gotten serious about looking at what kind of transportation fuel would best fit their industry model and impact their bottom line."
Recently, in a bid to further bio-oil research, ConocoPhillips pledged some $21 million to Iowa State University.
"Interestingly, as we've spoken with petroleum companies, the question comes up: will Exxon and BP begin buying a lot of forestland? I think the answer is no. They've no idea how to move biomass around. They know how to move liquids in an economic fashion."
The big question now is how to move the entire industry "a step forward to some pilot scale where petroleum (industry researchers) can get their hands on barrels of bio-oil and begin playing around with reactions and figure out how to refine it."
Syngas is a nasty thing to work with. "Syngas contains a lot of carbon dioxide — you can't breathe this stuff — and hydrogen resulting from burning biomass. That burning process is called gasification."
Gasifiers can be bought from various companies around the world. The one used by MSU researchers was designed to burn biomass in tribal areas of Africa. It's totally automated — biomass is placed in a hopper then burned. The resulting syngas is used to run a generator allowing the tribes to have electricity.
The feedstock for the gasifier is mostly pellets or small wood chips. "We've been working on also using switchgrass and other biomass — gin trash, for instance — and making pellets to be burned in the gasifier. We want to understand the differences in chemical composition and energy content.
"You can make an awful lot of things out of syngas. The molecules can be rearranged to produce all sorts of different chemical compounds. Methanol is one of the intermediate products from converting it to gasoline.
"We've developed a method to convert it directly into high-octane gasoline. Others have successfully converted syngas into higher-level alcohols. Some of the deep thinkers think that's the more advantageous routes to take."
Syngas can be injected into an engine as a substitute for petroleum fuel.
"We have a 5-kilowatt home generator we bought that ran on propane. Now, we run it on 100 percent syngas. As we produce syngas, we pull off part and run it into the generator and generate electricity."
Syngas can also be converted into ethanol through a fermentation process. However, the conversion rate is very low.
"We've been down that path at MSU and have about given up on it. The microbes take the carbon dioxide, pull the carbon out and convert it to ethanol. But the microbes aren't very efficient."
What's the best feedstock when working with syngas?
"A lot of that depends on the feeding mechanism. There are several on the market. Ours is a downdraft gasifier that works very well with pellets or chips. There are fluidized bed gasifiers that work better with sawdust."

Animal rights group finds butterfly release at kindness rally kind of cruelBy SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Special to the Union Leader
May 10. 2013 1:02AM
NORTH CONWAY - Does the release of commercially raised butterflies at social events harm the species, or are the numbers set free at weddings, graduations and fundraisers too small to have an impact?
According to the North American Butterfly Association, large-scale commercial operations could spread diseases that could devastate the native population.
The International Butterfly Breeders Association says its members raise butterflies in sterile staging areas, shipping them with proper permits, and that there is no basis in fact to support statements that these butterflies are harmful to the ones in the wild.
"I choose to believe the experts at the North American Butterfly Association who work to protect butterflies and believe butterfly releases to be harmful," said Linda Dionne, president of the New Hampshire Animal Rights League (NHARL).
NHARL is asking its supporters to ask the organizers of the Be Kind Fest in Mount Washington Valley to halt the Hope Takes Flight Monarch butterfly release on May 18 in Schouler Park in North Conway Village. The release is part of the three-day Kindness Weekend, a free event that includes musical performances, flatbread pizza, hugs, tai chi instruction, arts and crafts for kids, a Kindness Rally and more. Funds raised through sponsorships and donations help support the Visiting Nurse Home Care and Hospice of Carroll County and the Evergreen Wellness Institute.
"We did a lot of research," said Sandy Ruka, executive director of the hospice. "We do share the concerns. We really feel we were thoughtful."
The organization also sent a letter to NHARL, saying they were open to "finding less controversial ways to assist and honor our clients and their families," but this year's event would go on.
The butterflies are not free. Sponsorship for each butterfly is $25, which goes to the hospice program. The butterfly release is a way to honor and remember loved ones who have passed on.
"Butterflies have long been a symbol of hope and healing," said Ruka. The nonprofit provides long-term care at home, skilled home care, home hospice care and palliative care, along with facilitating support groups, including a loss and recovery group.
Ruka said that the community has been "hugely supportive" of the butterfly release.
Dionne does not think that the actual release lives up to it symbolism.
"Butterflies die in transporting them long distances; in this case, they will be coming from California," she said. "Others will die when released to an unknown and possibly harmful environment.
"Transporting delicate butterflies thousands of miles and then releasing them into a foreign environment where they may die unnecessarily seems very unkind, and certainly not something a Kindness Festival should be doing."
Ruka said they weighed the pros and cons as they researched the issue, concluding that the release was safe for the butterflies and the environment. "Studies do demonstrate they are able to breed and migrate."
Visiting Nurses is buying the butterflies from Swallowtail Farms in California, a member of the International Butterfly Breeders Association.

* Q3 EPS, excluding items, matches $0.53 forecast
* Q3 sales $13.98 billion vs forecast of $14.64 billion
* Authorizes another $10 bln in share repurchases
* Lowers high end of 2012 forecast
* Shares fall 1.3 percent
Nov 1 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc on Thursday posted quarterly revenue well below Wall Street expectations, as sales of the pharmaceutical company's Prevnar pediatric vaccine disappointed and emerging market revenue dropped sharply.
A sharper-than-expected decline for Lipitor, the cholesterol fighter that began facing cheaper generics late last year, also hit revenue.
Pfizer's global sales slid 16 percent to $13.98 billion, well below Wall Street expectations of $14.64 billion.
Excluding special items, Pfizer earned 53 cents per share, matching the average analyst forecast, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Pfizer in recent years has failed to produce many big-selling new drugs. But company shares have risen 13.5 percent in the last year, outperforming 11.5 percent gains for the drug sector, largely on optimism for its new treatments for cancer, blood clots, arthritis and other diseases.
Investors also have applauded sharp cost cuts, including to its research budget, and the recent decision to sell its baby formula business to Nestle SA for almost $12 billion. That deal is slated to close in the first half of 2013. The company has a history of buying back shares, which has kept investors onboard.
Pfizer on Thursday authorized an extra $10 billion in share repurchases, given the planned sale of the nutritionals business. The company has repurchased $5.9 billion of common stock so far this year of an an earlier $10 billion authorization.
Asked if Pfizer's recipe of new medicines, cost cuts and share buybacks was sustainable, Barclays analyst Tony Butler replied: ``I'm not so sure.''
He said his main concern is whether Pfizer can introduce enough lucrative products to restore revenue growth, amid Lipitor's plunging sales and looming generic competition or declining royalties.
``If you don't make enough widgets, you can't be successful in the long term,'' Butler said, adding that cost cuts have been a more proven prowess at Pfizer than development of drugs with big sales.
Lung cancer drug Xalkori and kidney cancer treatment Inlyta, new drugs that had impressive results in clinical trials, posted disappointing quarterly sales of $38 million and $30 million, respectively, said Butler.
But company Chief Executive Ian Read said the pair of cancer drugs has potential, while other medicines -- including an experimental blood clot preventer called Eliquis -- would prove themselves over time.
``You don't fix the innovative core of a pharmaceuticals business in two years,'' he said in an interview. He noted that operations of the New York-based drugmaker have not been significantly affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The largest U.S. drugmaker earned $3.21 billion, or 43 cents per share, in the third quarter. That compared with $3.74 billion, or 48 cents per share, in the year-earlier period, when the company recorded a $1.3 billion gain on the sale of its Capsugel business.
``Like many others in the third quarter, Pfizer was weak at the revenue line, missing (forecasts) by 5 percent,'' Jefferies & Co analyst Jeffrey Holford said.
Revenue from emerging markets - countries whose fast-expanding economies are a mainstay for Pfizer growth - fell 2 percent to $2.39 billion as the stronger dollar cut into the value of sales. By contrast, emerging market sales had jumped 8 percent in the prior quarter.
Although Pfizer has hitched its future largely to sales in developing markets such as China, India, Eastern Europe and South America, sales are highly variable there because of fluctuating interest rates and a range of regional factors.
Pfizer Chief Financial Officer Frank D'Amelio said the company expects annual emerging market sales to grow in the ``high-single-digit'' percentage range in the next few years, fueled by overall growth in healthcare spending.
Sales of Prevnar 13 fell 14 percent to $868 million, while sales of its older Prevnar 7 vaccine dropped 17 percent to $81 million. The widely used vaccines, obtained through Pfizer's merger in 2009 with Wyeth, are now Pfizer's second-biggest-selling franchise.
Prevnar, used to prevent infection with pneumococcal bacteria that can cause pneumonia, ear infections and other problems, logged especially sharp declines in the United States and developed Europe.
D'Amelio said that was because children last year were given a one-time extra vaccination to afford them the same protection as Prevnar 13, which protects against 13 strains of pneumococcal bacteria. The older Prevnar protects against 7 strains.
``That was a one-time opportunity,'' D'Amelio said. Pfizer also cited ``minimal'' demand by adults for Prevnar 13.
Lipitor sales plunged 71 percent to $749 million. It had been the world's biggest drug until its U.S. patent lapsed in late November, opening the floodgates to cheaper generics.
Sales of animal health products fell 2 percent to $1.0 billion while sales of consumer health care brands rose 2 percent to $780 million.
Pfizer said it now expects 2012 earnings of $2.14 to $2.17 per share, from its prior view of $2.12 to $2.22 per share.
