When a team of Ohio State students worked around the clock for nine days straight recently, they weren’t pulling the typical college “all-nighters.” Instead, they were reaching a milestone in clean coal technology. For 203 continuous hours, they operated a scaled-down version of a power plant combustion system with a unique experimental design–one that chemically converts coal to heat while capturing 99 percent of the carbon dioxide produced in the reaction. This new technology, [...] As deadlines go, the March 1 sequester lacks punch. Nobody’s taxes will go up; the U.S. Treasury won’t run out of cash. Government offices won’t immediately turn out the lights and lock the doors. No federal worker will be furloughed for at least 30 days. So Washington felt little need to cancel the Presidents’ Day break. On Friday, President Obama flew to Florida for a long weekend of golf.

The protests, White House spokesman Jay Carney said last week, were “in response to a video—a film—that we have judged to be reprehensible and disgusting.” Now there is mounting evidence [...] 72Point It takes the average Brit eight days and 22 hours to get back into a routine after a holiday, a study has revealed. Being forced to set the alarm clock, dealing with the mountain of e-mails at work and tackling the morning commute are all among the top ten reasons why it’s so hard to get back up to speed.

Earlier this year, iMore correctly reported that Apple would announce the [...] I have always been sympathetic to Europe’s politicians in their attempts to deal with the euro crisis. As I wrote here after the recent Euro-summit that concluded nine days ago, the euro area faces a complex set of interlocking problems that require politically difficult solutions if the euro is to be kept together as a common currency. The political complexities have often lead to the impression that any progress being made is [...] Judge forces jury back for further deliberations after verdict blunter Defense says verdict for one count should be announced Confusion descended on the North Carolina courthouse today when the jury in John Edwards’ trial announced they had reached their verdict after nine days of deliberations – only to tell the judge they had found a verdict for [...] From Kimble Charting Solutions: Nine days ago, the Power of the Pattern suggested that Copper could drag the 500 index lower… Copper is often viewed as a predictor of the “Economic Weather” that is about to come.
