Ahead of the Bell: US Industrial Production

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. industrial production likely picked up a bit last month, although factory output probably stayed weak. Many companies remain worried about looming tax increases and may have further delayed purchases of machinery and equipment.

Economists forecast that output at the nation's factories, mines and utilities rose 0.3 percent in November from October, according to a survey by FactSet. That would offset most of the 0.4 percent decline in October.

The Federal Reserve will release the report at 9:15 a.m. EST Friday.

Factory output, the most important component, tumbled 0.9 percent in October. Part of the decline was blamed on Superstorm Sandy, which disrupted some factories in the Northeast. Economists expect the storm had less impact on the November data.

Still, many companies have also held off on big purchases since spring because they are worried about the "fiscal cliff". That's the combination of tax increases and spending cuts that are set to take effect in January if President Barack Obama and Republican lawmakers can't reach a budget deal before then.

Fears of the fiscal cliff continued to weigh on factory activity in November, other data showed.

U.S. manufacturing activity shrank in November to the slowest pace since July 2009, according to a closely watched index of manufacturing activity compiled by the Institute for Supply Management.

Economists say the economy is growing in the current October-December quarter at an annual rate below 2 percent. That would be slower than the 2.7 percent growth rate in the July-September quarter and too weak to rapidly lower the unemployment rate.

The job market is making steady gains. Employers added 146,000 jobs in November. That's about the same as the average monthly gain of 150,000 in the past year.

The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent ? a four-year low ? from 7.9 percent in October. But the decline occurred mostly because more people without jobs gave up looking for work. The government counts people without jobs as unemployed only if they're actively seeking one.

High unemployment and weak economic growth prompted the Federal Reserve Wednesday to make a major change in its guidance of future interest rate hikes. The Fed said it plans to keep the benchmark short-term interest rate near zero until unemployment falls to at least 6.5 percent, as long as inflation stays low.

It was the clearest sign yet that they will keep rates super-low even after unemployment falls further and the economy picks up. The Fed also said it would continue purchasing $85 billion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to push down longer-term interest rates.

Rock legends take to New York stage for storm Sandy victims

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and the Rolling Stones joined with actors and comedians in headlining a benefit concert on Wednesday for victims of Superstorm Sandy, which six weeks ago devastated scores of communities along the coastline of the U.S. northeast coastline.

The celebrity-packed "12-12-12" concert at New York's Madison Square Garden stretched on for nearly five hours, and organizers said it was distributed to nearly 2 billion people worldwide through television feeds, radio and online streaming.

"How do I begin again? My city's in ruins," Springsteen sang to the packed crowd. He was joined by fellow New Jersey native Jon Bon Jovi for "Born to Run," ushering in a night of musical duets.

Next up, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters performed alongside Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, and later Paul McCartney jammed with the surviving members of "Nirvana."

"This has got to be the largest collection of old English musicians ever assembled in Madison Square Garden," Mick Jagger told the crowd. The Stones, in the midst of a brief U.S. tour, performed "You Got Me Rocking" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash."

Chris Martin of Coldplay jokingly suggested audience members should calculate the average age of the night's performers and agree to donate that much. "And I think you'll raise billions," he said.

At the end of the concert, R&B singer Alicia Keys closed the show with "Empire State of Mind."

To help with the fundraising, celebrities such as Kristen Stewart, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chelsea Clinton and Billy Crystal took part in a telethon during the concert.

Comedian Adam Sandler took the stage for a Sandy-themed spoof on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," rhyming the title with "Sandy, Screw Ya!"

Backstage, actress Susan Sarandon recounted losing power in her New York home but said that was a small hardship compared with the real victims who lost their homes.

Steven Van Zandt, guitarist of the E Street Band, scolded "the oil companies" and "Wall Street guys" for not doing more to help.

"Even with the music business not what it used to be ... we are proud to be here," he said.

The concert was broadcast live on television, radio, movie theaters, on Facebook and iHeartRadio, and streamed on digital billboards in New York's Times Square, London and Paris.

EXPANDING FUNDRAISING'S REACH

More than 130 people were killed when Sandy pummeled the East Coast of the United States in October. Thousands more were left homeless as the storm tore through areas of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, causing billions of dollars in damage.

Throughout the show, celebrities shared memories of growing up in New York City or the Jersey Shore, and offered shout-outs to first responders.

"Watching my hometown get pummeled was devastating to watch," said actor-comedian Crystal, who grew up on Long Beach, Long Island. "It's a helpless feeling of what's in store for us maybe in the future."

As the show neared its finale, organizers said it had raised $30 million from corporate sponsors, ticket sales and donations. The total raised from called-in pledges will take more time to calculate, said a spokesman for the Robin Hood foundation, the concert's major beneficiary.

Donations raised from the concert produced by Clear Channel Entertainment and the Weinstein Co, will all go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which will provide money and materials to groups helping people hardest hit by the storm.

New Jersey is expected to take 40 percent of the total, while the rest will be divided up between New York City, Long Island and Connecticut.

Samsung strategy chief: our devices need to work better together

When Samsung is currently ruling the roost in mobile technology, you'd think the company's Chief Strategy Officer would exhibit some (possibly deserved) bluster. Not so: the executive in question, Young Sohn, tells the MIT Technology Review that Samsung has a long way to go before its products work in perfect harmony. While he's proud of the hardware in isolation, he believes a truly unified ecosystem is "really critical" in the long term. He sees Apple as ahead in this area, although he's arguing for an open approach instead of keeping everything in-house like they do in Cupertino. Partly to that end, the recently hired CSO is based in Menlo Park, not Seoul -- a step that should spot valuable technology early on and coordinate with San Francisco Bay Area startups that are big on the cloud, mobile platforms and other areas that compliment Samsung's plans. We don't know how long it will take before our Galaxy S III is in effortless sync with a similarly-branded TV, but it's good to know their mutual creator won't be resting on its laurels.

U.S. backs Syrian rebels ahead of conference

MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) ? A Syrian opposition spokesman called for "real support" and not just recognition on Wednesday, hours after the U.S. declared that the new Syrian opposition coalition was the "legitimate representative" of its country's people.

Speaking as the fourth meeting of the "Friends of the Syrian People" opened in the Moroccan city of Marrakech, Walid al-Bunni called on the more than a hundred delegates from Europe and the Gulf countries to provide something concrete to help in their battle against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.

"Recognition is nice, but we need real support," said Walid al-Bunni, a spokesman for the newly formed Syrian National Coalition as the conference began. "I will be happy after the conference if we have something for the Syrian people."

The U.S. move, announced by President Barack Obama late Tuesday, follows that of France and the U.K.

The Syrian National Coalition, formed in November during a conference in Doha, Qatar, has been calling for increased international support, including military material for opposition forces battling the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria for nearly two years.

The U.S. and its British allies are not, however, expected to approve military aid, in part over fears of al-Qaida linked rebel units operating in the country. There are also no representatives of the Syrian rebel forces at the conference.

John Wilks, the British special representative to the Syrian opposition, explained that Wednesday's event was neither a donor conference nor a military aid event but rather an effort to set up opposition institutions so that they could effectively use future aid in a credible manner to administer the areas they control.

"The key point is that they are setting up institutions and money is coming, so it's a better situation than three months ago ? they are happy, we are happy," he said before the conference began.

He said so far Britain had earmarked 50 million pounds ($80 million) of humanitarian aid and 7 million pounds ($11.2 million) non-humanitarian including communications equipment, training and office supplies ? but no plans for now for military aid.

"There are big issues concerning legality ? intervening in a civil war to overthrow a government is a difficult proposition, to put it mildly," he said.

Obama's announcement follows his administration's blacklisting of a militant Syrian rebel group with links to al-Qaida. That step is aimed at blunting the influence of extremists amid fears that the regime may use or lose control of its stockpile of chemical weapons.

The U.S. had been leading international efforts to prod the fractured Syrian opposition into coalescing around a leadership that would represent all of the country's factions and religions. Yet it had held back from granting recognition to the group until it demonstrated that it could organize itself in credible fashion.

In particular, Washington had wanted to see the group set up smaller committees that could deal with specific immediate and short-term issues, such as governing parts of Syria under their control and putting in place institutions to address the needs of people once Assad is ousted. Some of those committees could form the basis of a transitional government.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was expected to attend the conference, but cancelled following an illness and will be represented by Deputy Secretary of State for the Middle East, William Burns.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday the recognition contradicted earlier international agreements that foresee the "commencement of an all-Syria dialogue" that would include all sides of the conflict, in which more than 40,000 people have died so far.

Study paves way to design drugs aimed at multiple protein targets at once

Dec. 12, 2012 ? An international research collaboration led by scientists at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and the University of Dundee, in the U.K., have developed a way to efficiently and effectively make designer drugs that hit multiple protein targets at once.

This accomplishment, described in the Dec. 13, 2012 issue of the journal Nature, may prove invaluable for developing drugs to treat many common human diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, cancer, schizophrenia, and bi-polar disorder.

These disorders are called complex diseases because each have a number of genetic and non-genetic influences that determine susceptibility, i.e., whether someone will get the disease or not.

"In terms of the genetics of schizophrenia we know there are likely hundreds of different genes that can influence the risk for disease and, because of that, there's likely no single gene and no one drug target that will be useful for treating it, like other common complex diseases," said study co-leader, Brian L. Roth, MD, PhD, Michael J. Hooker Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology in the UNC School of Medicine, professor in the Division of Chemical Biology and Medicinal Chemistry in the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, and director of the National Institute of Mental Health Psychoactive Drug Screening Program.

In complex neuropsychiatric conditions, infectious diseases and cancer, Roth points out that for the past 20 years drug design has been selectively aimed at a single molecular target, but because these are complex diseases, the drugs are often ineffective and thus many never reach the market.

Moreover, a drug that acts on a single targeted protein may interact with many other proteins. These undesired interactions frequently cause toxicity and adverse effects.

"And so the realization has been that perhaps one way forward is to make drugs that hit collections of drug targets simultaneously. This paper provides a way to do that," Roth said.

The new way involves automated drug design by computer that takes advantage of large databases of drug-target interactions. The latter have been made public through Roth's lab at UNC and through other resources.

Basically, the researchers, also co-led by Andrew L. Hopkins, PhD in the Division of Biological Chemistry and Drug Discovery, College of Life Sciences, at the University of Dundee, in Scotland, used the power of computational chemistry to design drug compounds that were then synthesized by chemists, tested in experimental assays and validated in mouse models of human disease.

The study team experimentally tested 800 drug-target predictions of the computationally designed compounds; of these, 75 percent were confirmed in test-tube (in vitro) experiments.

Drug to target engagement also was confirmed in animal models of human disease. In a mouse model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mice missing a particular dopamine receptor engage in recurrent aberrant behaviors similar to what is seen in ADHD: distractibility and novelty seeking. "We created a compound that was predicted to prevent those recurrent behaviors and it worked quite well," Roth said.

The researchers then tested the compound in another mouse model where a particular enzyme for a brain neuropeptide is missing. Distractibility and novelty seeking also are behavioral features in these animals. And the drug had the same effect in those mice.

The new drug design process includes ensuring that compounds enter the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier. These, too, were tested successfully in live animals.

According to Roth, pharmaceutical company chemists had suggested that the objective of a drug hitting multiple targets simultaneously is impossible and unlikely to succeed. "Here we show how to efficiently and effectively make designer drugs that can do that."

Guinea commission sets May 13 date for elections

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) ? Guinea's national electoral commission says it plans to hold long-awaited legislative elections in May.

Commission President Bakary Fofana made the announcement on national television late Tuesday. But opposition spokesman Mouctar Diallo expressed disapproval, calling the May 13 date a unilateral decision by the commission president.

The electoral commission's composition has been a source of tension in this West African country long plagued by dictatorship and strongman rule.

In 2010, Guinea succeeded in holding its first democratic presidential election since winning independence from France in 1958.

It now has a democratically elected president but not a functioning parliament because of the failure to organize legislative elections.

Ancient tsunami caused long-term ecosystem change in the Caribbean

Dec. 12, 2012 ? A detailed analysis of sediments from the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean presents convincing evidence for an extraordinary wave impact dating back some 3,300 years, even though no historical records of tsunamis exist for this island. Of particular interest are the consequences this large wave impact had on the island's ecosystem. The sediments studied by the scientists suggested that this tsunami entirely changed the coastal ecosystem and sedimentation patterns in the area.

The work by Dr. Max Engel and colleagues, from the University of K?ln in Germany, is published online in Springer's journal, Naturwissenschaften -- The Science of Nature.

The Caribbean region is highly vulnerable to coastal hazards, including tropical cyclones, earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. Even though the island of Bonaire has not experienced a tsunami during the past 500 years, which is the period of historical documentation, overwash deposits from a coastal lagoon provide evidence for at least one such event in prehistory.

Engel and colleagues investigated sediment cores from Washington-Slagbaai National Park. They looked specifically at grain size distribution, carbonate content, organic matter, magnetic susceptibility and fauna. Their analyses showed that the sediments had criteria typically linked with tsunami deposits, consistent with a tsunami with a maximum age of 3,300 years.

The authors conclude: "This single catastrophic event is of long-term ecological significance. Formation of a barrier of coral rubble was triggered by the tsunami separating a former inland bay from the open sea and turning it into a highly saline lagoon which persists until today. Further studies of the geology of tsunamis, using well-dated deposits, are required over the entire Caribbean to reconstruct reliable patterns of magnitude, frequency and spatial occurrence of tsunami events and their environmental impact."

LONDON (AP) ? London police say the result of an autopsy on the nurse involved in a prank call for information about the former Kate Middleton's hospital stay will be revealed Thursday.

Scotland Yard said Wednesday the cause of Jacintha Saldanha's death will not be released until a Westminster Coroner's Court hearing.

Saldanha took the call when two Australian disc jockeys rang up the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for severe morning sickness. The DJs, who were impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, later broadcast the call.

Saldanha was found dead Friday. Although police have made no connection between Saldanha's death and the prank call, people from London to Sydney have been making the assumption she died because of stress from the call.

The 'Latino giant' is awake: Here's what it wants

Cliff Owen / AP

Gustavo Torres, director of Casa in Action, center, and others chant during a rally of immigration rights organizations, in front of the White House on Thursday. They called on President Barack Obama to fulfill his promise of passing comprehensive immigration reform.

By James Eng, NBC News

Hispanic voters, who were instrumental in putting Barack Obama back in the White House, now hope the president will work diligently in his second term to cross some big to-dos off their legislative wish list: jobs, affordable education, health care access and immigration reform.

Hispanics voted for Obama over Mitt Romney by a resounding 71 percent to 27 percent and may have put him over the top in several key swing states. The total number of potential Hispanic voters this year reached a record 23.7 million ? up about 80 percent since 2000 ? and Hispanics now compose about 10 percent of the total electorate, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

?The Latino electorate arrived Tuesday, there?s no question about it,? said Rafael Collazo, director of political campaigns for the National Council of La Raza. The organization, which?bills itself as the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, says it helped register more than 90,000 new Hispanic voters this year.

---

?States like Florida, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, even Ohio -- the Latino vote was a net gain for the preferred candidate and was the deciding factor or at least very, very close to being the decisive factor,? Collazo told NBC News.

"The Latino giant is wide awake, cranky and is taking names,? labor leader Eliseo Medina, of the?Service Employees International Union, told NBC Latino.?

With the election behind them, Hispanics now want Obama and Congress to work on issues identified in surveys as their priorities ? more jobs, affordable health care, access to higher education and immigration reform.

GOP faces immigration fight after election

The latter issue has been more important for Hispanics than for other U.S. voters, said Mark Hugo Lopez, associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research organization.

Hispanic support for Obama was high even before he announced in June that the government will stop deporting, and begin granting work permits to, some undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as children.

?However, when it comes to asking Hispanics which party is more concerned for the Hispanic community, after the deferred action program was announced the (Democratic) share went from 45 to 61 percent ? the highest we?ve measured in Pew Hispanic surveys in 10 years,? ?Lopez said.

?In his acceptance speech, Obama mentioned that comprehensive immigration reform was something that needed to be addressed, and we?re going to hold him to that,? Collazo told NBC News.

The day after the election, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised to introduce an immigration reform package next year. He said if Republicans block the legislation, they would do so "at their peril."

Al Cardenas, chairman of the?American Conservative Union?and former chairman of the Republican Party in Florida,?agreed that the immigration debate has been detrimental for the GOP.

?Across the board generationally and demographically, the immigration issue has become a wedge issue ? because it?s become a litmus test of respect and caring in that community,? Cardenas said.??My advice for conservatives and the party as a whole is to get bipartisan immigration reform done in next 100 to 200 days.?

A survey of Hispanic voters by the firm Latino Decisions found that Hispanics pushed Obama over the top in Colorado, Florida and Nevada, swing states where they turned out in unusually high numbers.

Cardenas said the GOP can?t pay short shift to minority groups if it wants to put a Republican in the White House.

?The so-called mainstream vote is no longer sufficient,? he said. ?The coalition of all of these minority votes is a priority in these elections today. The Hispanic vote is the most numerically significant of all of these groups. We need to develop a precise, aggressive, winning political game plan to address that community.?

The Hispanic community is a diverse one, according to the Pew Center's Lopez:

• Country of origin: Among eligible Hispanic voters, 58 percent are Mexican Americans, 14 percent are Puerto Ricans, and 6 percent are Cubans. (The remainder are from Central and South America). Historically, Cubans have supported Republican candidates more than other Hispanic groups; in Florida this year, 49 percent of Cubans went for Obama and 47 percent for Romney.
• Youth: People ages 18-29 make up about a third of all eligible Hispanic voters, but just 20 percent of all general voters.
• Naturalized U.S. citizens: Among Hispanic eligible voters, 25 percent are immigrants who are naturalized. But among whites, only 3 percent are naturalized U.S. citizens.

Callazo said that despite this diversity, Hispanics displayed a rather consistent, Democratic-leaning voting pattern across many states.

?The numbers of how Latinos voted in Arizona compared to Ohio and Colorado were fairly close,? Callazo said.

?Yes, there are differences and nuances ? but if you look at the polling and all the anecdotal work and the outreach we?ve done over the years, the core issues are very, very similar," he added. ?"At end of day, Latino voters are voting for the candidate they feel will best reflect their values."

Fall Burlap Banner

Happy Fall Y'all, My favorite season. I made this little festive Fall Banner for PSA Essentials. I used the letter stamps on cardstock, fabric, burlap and a ribbon. So easy and cute.

I stamped the letter on white?cardstock.

I ripped the fabric so it would look a little more rustic.

I cut out my burlap and layered the fabric strips and cardstock on top. Then I sewed right through the paper.

Then I sandwiched the burlap flags between a ribbon.

Then I hung it up at?Ampersand?:) You know I love a quick project. For more ideas on how to use these stamps, visit PSA Stamp Camp Blog.

If you are thinking about adding a piece of furniture that makes life more bearable at home, you may be interested in getting a massage recliner chair. To get the right chair, you can visit site like this Masseuse Recliners and get help in choosing the right massage recliner chair that meets your needs and budget. Unlike traditional recliner chairs, massage recliner chairs are equipped with electronic mechanism that creates natural massage therapy for anyone who sits on the chair.

Massage recliner chair is designed to give ultimate comfort and maximum benefits for your health after hours of hard work at the office. Therefore, good quality recliner chairs usually come with controllers that can help adjust the areas to be massaged, the power of the massage, and the duration of the therapy, to name but a few. The price tag for these massage recliners may be quite high compared to the conventional recliner chairs, but here are some reasons why you should consider getting a massage recliner chair at home.

Muscle Relaxation
Massage recliner chairs provide muscle relaxation and reduce tension after a hard day at work. This is especially beneficial if you spend hours of your time standing on a hard surface. You may have heard about chronic fatigue syndrome and other work-related issues that are caused by too much tension, pressures, anxiety, and stress in the workplace. Add these problems with poorly-designed chairs and tables in the office, and over the years you will develop various health issues that range from stiffness on the back of your neck to hypertension, migraines, and backaches. Massage recliner chairs help prevent these issues from happening, because once you get home and sit on the chair, you get to relax and relieve the muscle tensions.

Good for Health
For centuries, ancient civilizations have recognized the health benefits of massage. Massage has been found to be effective in preventing various health problems and alleviating pains. Massage is also used for treating certain ailments. By having regular massage, you help your muscle to relax, improving blood circulation and metabolism at the same time. Massage also releases endorphins that will give you a sense of well-beings. Having a massage recliner chair, thus, can help you treat various health disorders like depression, insomnia, chronic pain, constipation, arthritis, musculoskeletal problems, and poor immune system.

Save Money and Time
Instead of going to a spa center at the end of the week, you can get quality time and massage therapy from the comfort of your own home, anytime you want! And you do not need to pay hundreds of dollars each time you want to get a massage therapy. You just need to sit on the massage recliner and push a button. This will save thousands of dollars and hours of valuable time that you would spend on commuting between home and the spa center otherwise.

Last for Years
Good quality massage recliner chairs can last for years, even a decade! They require very little maintenance and if you buy it from a trusted supplier, it may come with limited-duration guarantee for parts or any troubleshoot, however this rarely happens.

Find the right massage recliner chair and get quality massage therapy anytime you want it.

Fusion energy: Mug handles could help hot plasma give lower-cost, controllable fusion energy

ScienceDaily (Oct. 11, 2012) ? Researchers around the world are working on an efficient, reliable way to contain the plasma used in fusion reactors, potentially bringing down the cost of this promising but technically elusive energy source. A new finding from the University of Washington could help contain and stabilize the plasma using as little as 1 percent of the energy required by current methods.

"All of a sudden the current energy goes from being almost too much to almost negligible," said lead author Thomas Jarboe, a UW professor of aeronautics and astronautics. He presents the findings this week at the International Atomic Energy Association's 24^th annual Fusion Energy Conference in San Diego.

The new equipment looks like handles on a coffee mug -- except they attach to a vessel containing a million-degree plasma that is literally too hot to handle.

Most people know about nuclear fission, the commercial type of nuclear power generated from splitting large atoms in two. Still under research is nuclear fusion, which smashes two small atoms together, releasing energy without requiring rare elements or generating radioactive waste.

Of course, there's a catch -- smashing the atoms together takes a lot of energy, and scientists are still working on a way to do it so you get out more energy than you put in. The sun is a powerful fusion reactor but we can't recreate a full-scale sun on Earth.

An international project in France is building a multibillion-dollar fusion reactor to see whether a big enough reactor can generate fusion power.

The reactor in France will inject high-frequency electromagnetic waves and high-speed hydrogen ions to sustain the plasma by maintaining an even hotter 100-million-degree operating temperature and enclosing it with magnetic fields.

"That method works," Jarboe said, "but it's extremely inefficient and expensive, to the point that it really is a major problem with magnetic confinement."

For two decades Jarboe's team has worked on helicity injection as a more efficient alternative. Spirals in the plasma produce asymmetric currents that generate the right electric and magnetic fields to heat and confine the contents. Plasma is so hot that the electrons have separated from the nuclei. It cannot touch any walls and so instead is contained by a magnetic bottle. Keeping the plasma hot enough and sustaining those magnetic fields requires a lot of energy.

"We would drive it until it was unstable," Jarboe said of his approach. "Like you twist up a rope, the plasma twists up on itself and makes the instability and makes the current drive."

Results showed the UW strategy required less energy than other methods, but the system was unstable, meaning that if conditions change it could wobble out of control. It's like a stick balancing on one end, which is stable at that moment, but is likely to come crashing down with any nudge. In the case of plasma, unstable equilibrium means that a twist in the plasma could cause it to escape and potentially lead to a costly reactor shutdown.

Instability was a major impediment to applying the UW method.

"The big issue is whether, when you distort the bottle, it will leak," Jarboe said.

By contrast, in a stable equilibrium, any shift will tend to come back toward the original state, like a ball resting at the bottom of a bowl that will settle back where it started.

"Here we imposed the asymmetric field, so the plasma doesn't have to go unstable in order for us to drive the current. We've shown that we can sustain a stable equilibrium and we can control the plasma, which means the bottle will be able to hold more plasma," Jarboe said.

The UW apparatus uses two handle-shaped coils to alternately generate currents on either side of the central core, a method the authors call imposed dynamo current drive. Results show the plasma is stable and the method is energy-efficient, but the UW research reactor is too small to fully contain the plasma without some escaping as a gas. Next, the team hopes to attach the device to a larger reactor to see if it can maintain a sufficiently tight magnetic bottle.

The research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Co-authors are Brian Nelson, research associate professor of electrical engineering; and research associate Brian Victor, research scientists David Ennis, Nathaniel Hicks, George Marklin and Roger Smith and graduate students Chris Hansen, Aaron Hossack, Cihan Ackay and Kyle Morgan, all in UW aeronautics and astronautics.

Bentley and Lamborghini SUV Development on Hold? | AutoTribute

The Volkswagen group has held fast against the European economic crisis better than any other automotive group in the region, but the company hasn?t gone about its business unscathed. According to reports, the company may put on hold the development of the controversial Bentley EXP 9 F and Lamborghini Urus SUVs in an effort to trim costs.

?Such vehicles are anything but obligatory during a crisis,? Frankfurt-based Equinet AG analyst Tim Schuldt told Reuters. ?Delaying their launch would be no drama but help save costs.?

The two Volkswagen divisions ? Bentley and Lamborghini ? aim to replicate Porsche?s success with the Cayenne SUV. Much like what Porsche experienced when it first announced the vehicle, they ? not being known for anything other than ultra-premium and high-performance cars ? have been met with criticism regarding their planned SUVs. As such, some enthusiasts might actually view this development as a blessing of sorts.

But public criticism isn?t all Bentley and Lamborghini have to worry about. Even if their SUVs do make it into production, research firm IHS Automotive says that exorbitant pricing, increasing competition in the luxury SUV segment and the relatively small amount of potential buyers in key markets will limit their sales and profitability.
