You can increase your earning potential by either increasing your knowledge base or expanding your skill set. Education and special training almost always translate into more earning power. And you can often do it without taking out another loan or breaking the bank.
Here are a few tips from ClearPoint's credit counselors:
Check company benefits for a tuition reimbursement program. Your employer may help pay for you to take classes. Also, find out about additional on-the-job training or mentoring opportunities available within the company.
Many state-funded job training and career counseling programs can help, regardless of your income level or professional experience. For example, through your state's Department of Labor or Employment Commission, you will find area offices that offer job assistance and career preparation training. You may be eligible to take advantage of free services ranging from résumé writing to job retraining. Check the homepage of your state's website for links.
Consider joining a local community or professional organization that offers periodic seminars or lectures about business topics of interest to you.
Explore community college courses, vocational schools, and even Internet seminars.
Learn a foreign language such as Spanish or Japanese. Being multilingual is an added asset in the workforce.
Use your library as a resource to check out career-counseling books.

Mark Peter Begich (pronounced /ˈbɛɡɪtʃ/; born March 30, 1962) is the junior United States Senator from Alaska and a member of the Democratic Party. A former mayor of Anchorage, he served on the Anchorage Assembly for almost ten years prior to being elected mayor in 2003. In the highly competitive 2008 Alaska Senate election, Begich defeated incumbent Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican member of the Senate of all time.
Born in Anchorage, he is the son of U.S. Representative Nick Begich, who disappeared and was presumed dead following a 1972 plane crash. He graduated from high school and has taken continuing education classes at University of Alaska Anchorage, but does not have a college degree. At age 26 he was elected to the Anchorage Assembly. After serving as chairman for three years, he left the Assembly in 1998. Begich ran two unsuccessful campaigns for mayor in 1994 and 2000. He was finally elected in 2003, winning a narrow three-way race by 11 votes.
Begich handily won the Democratic nomination in the state's 2008 U.S. Senate election. He faced longtime incumbent Republican Ted Stevens, who was facing ethics and corruption charges during his re-election campaign. Stevens was convicted of felony violations a week before the election, and Begich won by a narrow margin.

Polls open for Democratic mayoral primary in Torrington
Torrington Dems, Woodbury Republicans to pick candidates
TORRINGTON >> Torrington Democrats are heading to the polls Tuesday to decide on a candidate for mayor in November.
Voters will have the choice of the party's endorsed candidate, 62-year-old George Craig, and 23-year-old Collin Good, who received enough votes at the Democratic caucus to petition for a primary.
The mayoral primary is the first for Democrats in Torrington since 1984. There are around 6,000 registered Democrats in Torrington and officials have said they expect only around 10 percent of those to turn out.
Craig, the Democratic Town Committee-endorsed candidate, and Good are set to square off for the opportunity to represent the their party to run for mayor of Torrington after two months of campaigning and one debate.
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
John C. Ciesco, the Democratic registrar of voters, said five polling locations are open for the primary: The Torrington Armory, 153 South Main St.; City Hall, 140 Main St.; Coe Memorial Park Civic Center, 101 Litchfield St.; Torringford School, 800 Charles St.; and Torrington Middle School, 200 Middle School Dr.
The two met in a debate at the Register Citizen Newsroom Cafe on Sept. 7. in front of nearly 50 people.
Craig, 62, is a political newcomer who is emphasizing his past and current experience as a businessman as the primary reason he said he will successfully lead the city.
Good, 23, has been campaigning and working on behalf of his party since he was in high school and is emphasizing his past experience working with political campaigns as reasons for being the best candidate.
Craig said the biggest focus of his campaign is industry. He wants to bring companies back to Torrington to create more jobs and wants to improve the city's infrastructure and seek involvement in the school system.
Craig has received endorsements from state Rep. Michelle Cook, City Councilwoman Marie Soliani, and former Mayor Mary Jane Gryniuk. Good has been endorsed by former Mayor Owen Quinn.
Good said the focus of his platform involves a plan for Torrington that is comprised of three main focuses that include improving infrastructure, education and tax reform.
Once elected, the Democratic candidate will challenge Republican City Councilwoman Elinor Carbone, who received her party's endorsement in July, and independents Giulio Romano and Jacque Williams, who is running as a write-in candidate, for the city's highest office.
The general election will be held Nov. 5.
Statewide, there are 21 primaries taking place on Tuesday, according to Secretary of the State Denise Merrill.
"Crucial issues related to local budgets, schools, road construction, environmental protection and other important items face towns and cities across Connecticut this year, so I urge registered voters in these towns to show up at the polls on Tuesday and choose their municipal leaders," Merrill said in a news release. "Anyone who wants a say in the future direction of their community in these tough times should make sure they cast a ballot. My office will be keeping a close eye on voting throughout Connecticut on Tuesday to ensure a secure and smooth election."
Elsewhere in Litchfield County, Republican voters will be voting in a primary to decide who will earn the Republican First Selectman nomination.
Woodbury Republicans will choose between incumbent First Selectman Gerald Stomski and current Board of Finance Chairman William Butterly Jr. Both candidates will be on the November ballot regardless of who wins on Tuesday.
Registered Republican voters in Woodbury can vote at the town's Senior Community Center, 256 Main St. South, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Reach Esteban L. Hernandez at (860) 489-3121, ext. 328.

Alternate headline: "Blogger to start drinking in the morning."
With less than a week until the primary in the historic Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election, a new Marquette Law School Poll shows Tom Barrett leading Kathleen Falk 38 percent to 21 percent, with 8 percent for Doug La Follette and 6 percent for Kathleen Vinehout. In a June general election between Barrett and Governor Scott Walker, Barrett leads by one percentage point, 47-46, among all registered voters, while Walker leads by one percentage point, 48-47, among likely voters. Both results are well within the margin of error of the poll. Walker leads former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk 49 percent to 42 percent among registered voters and 49 percent to 43 percent among likely voters.
Looking ahead to the November election, President Barack Obama leads former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney 51 percent to 42 percent, a small change from the 48-43 matchup in March just prior to Romney's win in the Wisconsin Republican primary.
That's right in line with the rest of the recent polls. Barring something extraordinary happening, you and I will be right here at 3 a.m. on election night, still waiting for those fateful final returns from slow-footed Waukesha County to come in and decide the state. If Barrett beats Walker, we'll get a solid month's worth of "tide turning against the GOP" stories in national media. If Walker holds on, a solid month's worth of "Wisconsin doesn't mean much" stories instead.
Two clips here of Chris Christie in Wisconsin rallying the troops on Walker's behalf. Paul Ryan's also said he'll campaign for Walker and I assume Mitch Daniels will make the short trip to Madison too. All hands on deck for the GOP's most prominent fiscal hawks. Like Ryan says, this is the second most important election in the United States this year.

i am alil angry to just learn that i can no longer post on the game forum i agree if you were already and ORG member why couldn't u all stay a member that is just intersting
so does this technically mean we can have game thread in the sun deck?
Last edited by captainmorgan07; 05-21-2007 at 04:40 PM.
Ok, so I'm on the bus down to AAA trying to figure out how to get back up to the Bigs--where I was for over a year. I would've asked the powers that be to cut someone else, but they disabled that function before I could put in my request. I guess I'll go work with EdE and Joey V. and wait for my call back up.
I'm most upset about not having access to my avatar. It goes with the name, like Peanut Butter and Jelly.
But no game threads on the Sun Deck.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Everything that happens before Death is what counts.
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes
The Great White Lie of the internets is that it makes everybody equal. Bzzzt. The truth is that, just as in real life, there are many stupid people and many stupid things to be said by them. The internet just makes it easy for people to broadcast them out to a larger audience.
Setting posting requirements does NOT help "build a community" or whatever. It just sets the standard that "We don't care what you say, but please, dum dum, we'd like for you to say it here. We'll even give you dozens of ******** little gif files you can insert when your words fail you." I no likey.
That said: I'm not at all against the RedsZone Poobahs changing things up so that they can make their Secret Hang-out a little more fun and gratifying for them. I just think there are better methods for vetting potential new members than requiring them to spastically post on a daily basis just to get noticed.
Then again, this criticism comes from a guy who has made 50-something posts in 4 years of being registered here, and who had a 3-to-1 "rep points to posts" ratio before those got wiped. Under the old system, I might have made the ORG with just 4-5 more really good posts. Under the new system, at the rate I'm going, I won't even be considered until probably the All Star Break of 2009. ...
Maybe even longer, since this new system is only going to ensure that the parts of RedsZone I *can* post to are populated by people who will be motivated to post voluminously, whether they have something to say or not, thus gumming up the entire works and making it harder for me (and others like me, as I do not lay claim to being the only Damned Clever Semi-Hermit on these boards) to find spots to post our own selves.
See? Vicious circle.

Why don't we all just take a deep breath, step back, and see how this works out? I remember the "sky is falling" mood during the last big round of changes, but the negative were wrong--the board changed for the better. If you contribute and make intelligent posts, you'll be allowed to post on the ORG. Simple as that, and I don't have any problem with it.
FR, while the basic structure will not change, we may make small modifications based upon performance of this plan. One change could very well be the minimum post requirement for access to ORG. Right now you're fine, time wise, but still need more posts. The main reason for this is to establish a body of work that can be reviewed. That being said, we may be able to judge content at numbers less than we now require. We'll see. You're absolutely right that quantity does not equal quality.
Thanks for you post.
I find it difficult to not be able to respond to posts in the Sun Deck. It's hard for me to read something that I disagree with and not have the right to refute it (in ANY forum).
I may have to give up reading the Sun Deck forum, as I know it's going to become frustrating.
I also think it's unfair to not allow the Sun Deck to have a game thread. Is it because of band width?
*I often participate on the game thread but RARELY go into chat because I find it distracting to keep up with the chat AND the game. The game thread allows me to watch the game and contribute (or not).
I know you've done all this for a reason, though I'm not sure what all the reasons are. IMHO, the board is more divided now than it was before.
* PS: I know I'm allowed to do both of these things as a member of the ORG... I'm just thinking how chat frustrated me and perhaps the same thing is true of some of the SD posters. If so, I can relate.

"Enjoy this Reds fans, you are watching a legend grow up before your very eyes" ... DoogMinAmo on Adam Dunn
Seems to me the value of continuing to find and promote quality posters (with the extra kicker of providing an open forum for non-ORG members) out weighs the irritation of a few people of reading a post and not being able to respond. At least in the intrests of the long term health of RZ.
It will be interesting to see the tweaks that unfold over the comming weeks and months. But I applaud Boss and GIK for deciding a change was needed and acting quickly to implement it.
I'm a little disheartened. I don't post a lot, but in trying to gain rep I spent a fair amount of time doing research and writing interesting posts/ articles. Eventually I received the necessary rep to post in ORG.
Now those previous efforts are for not. With this new system I have to go through that effort again when I don't really have the time. In addition it doesn't sound like it can happen piecemeal because you have to stay in members memory to get in. So a well researched post and discussion in May followed by another in July will probably have no effect, because most people wont remember who brought up the May discussion.
This seems to reward high post counts (more likely to be remembered) as opposed to quality posts. It also seems to aim at only having members that can post all the time.
I enjoy RedsZone a lot. And I will probably read it regardless, but it does feel like a kick in the stomach at the moment. I'm not sure I'll apply, but I'll give it some time and see.
(of course I do not argue at all with your right to make these changes)
Agree with Gully. I don't post often, but I put thought into my posts. I got into the ORG with 200 posts over the past 2 years--now I have to start all over again. It's a little frustrating to make the effort to contribute something positive to the board, only to get "kicked out" after the fact.
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Past contributions are still archived here. If you're nominated or apply for ORG, those contributions can and will be reviewed by the voting parties.
Makes all the routine posts.
Board Moderators may, at their discretion and judgment, delete and/or edit any messages that violate any of the following guidelines: 1. Explicit references to alleged illegal or unlawful acts. 2. Graphic sexual descriptions. 3. Racial or ethnic slurs. 4. Use of edgy language (including masked profanity). 5. Direct personal attacks, flames, fights, trolling, baiting, name-calling, general nuisance, excessive player criticism or anything along those lines. 6. Posting spam. 7. Each person may have only one user account. It is fine to be critical here - that's what this board is for. But let's not beat a subject or a player to death, please.

BMW has released details and the first official pictures of the new M6, due for launch during 2005.
Hot on the heels of the new M5, and taking lightweight design solutions from the M3 CSL, the new M6 is said to combine "supercar presence with Grand Touring potential."
The BMW M6 is the new standard-bearer for BMW's M car range, and features a 5.0-litre V10 engine producing 507bhp, seven-speed SMG (personally programmable) transmission, lightweight body panels including carbon fibre roof and MDrive Manager control settings. It's capable of 0 – 62mph in 4.6 seconds, 62 – 0mph in 36 metres and a 155mph limited top speed.
With the limiter removed, the M6 would be capable of a 200mph+ top speed. During tests at the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, the new M6 regularly clocked eight minute lap times.
On its more sensible side, the new M6 delivers a combined EU fuel consumption of 19.0mpg and a CO2 rating of 357g/km.
Powered by the same 4,999cc engine as the M5, the 507bhp power output ensures that the new M6 maintains the M car tradition of breaking the 100bhp per litre benchmark. Peak power is developed at 7,750rpm with the red line set at 8,250rpm. Peak torque of 520Nm is developed at 6,100rpm of which 450Nm is available from 3,500rpm. The 90-degree V10 aluminium-silicon alloy engine block is extremely light yet robust and is the first V-arrangement engine to use a bedplate construction. The aluminium bedplate with cast-iron inlays ensures the engine's rigidity throughout the rev range, but the complete unit still weighs just 240kg.
The chassis of the new M6 permits lateral acceleration in excess of 1g. To cope with such forces, the V10 engine features a lateral force-controlled oil supply that, from 0.6g of lateral movement, activates one of two electronic oil pumps to draw oil from the cylinder head and delivers it back into the sump to ensure perfect lubrication even in the most extreme situations. The car also makes use of a semi dry sump lubrication system with an oil reservoir on each side of the front subframe.
Masterminding all the M6's engine electronics is one of the most advanced engine control systems ever developed. The MS S65 control unit coordinates all engine functions using three 32-bit processors that handle more than 200 million operations per second from over 50 incoming signals. Each of the 10 cylinders has its own throttle butterfly, with its position being monitored 200 times per second. Reacting to changes in throttle position, the butterfly can move from closed to fully open in a mere 120 milliseconds (approximately three times faster than the blink of an eye).
Like the M5, the new M6 also uses BMW's new third-generation seven speed Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG) with Drivelogic. Drivelogic offers the choice of 11 different change patterns, depending on the speed of change required. Six change patterns are available in the manual mode and five in the 'automatic' mode, in which the gearbox will automatically select the most appropriate gear depending on driving conditions.
The new SMG gearbox also offers safety benefits when downshifting on slippery surfaces. If it detects the rear wheels locking up, the clutch opens for a fraction of a second to ensure traction is maintained. Hill Detection is another SMG feature. In automatic mode, the SMG gearbox recognises that the car is travelling on an incline and holds gears uphill to maintain acceleration and selects lower gears when progressing downhill to make the most of the available engine braking.
The suspension of the new M6 is based on the 'standard' 645Ci geometry. With the exception of components such as tie bars, wheel mounts and bearings, the double-arm spring strut front axle is made completely of aluminium. The U-shaped front subframe houses the rack and pinion steering assembly, anti-roll bar and track control arms.
The Integral IV rear axle assembly is also made from aluminium to reduce unsprung masses. In addition, the new M6 features BMW's variable, speed-sensing M Differential Lock. Featured on all current BMW M models, the M Differential Lock builds up locking action whenever one of the rear wheels begins to spin, channelling drive to the wheel with the most grip to improve handling and stability.
Electronic Damper Control is also standard on the M6. Offering the driver three suspension settings – Comfort, Normal and Sport, drivers can select the most appropriate setting for their driving style or road conditions. The new BMW M6 also features a BMW M version of Servotronic steering with two specific settings corresponding to the Electronic Damper Control settings, Sport or Comfort. BMW's DSC stability control system has also been adapted for the M6, and features M Dynamic Mode (first seen on the new M5).
The new BMW M6 comes with a Power button (pioneered in the M5) in the centre console. Initially the car pre-selects the P400 setting, delivering 400bhp for town or city driving. Engaging the Power button modifies the response of the throttle and enables the P500 setting to deliver the full 507bhp generated by the V10 engine.
Control of all of these features has been brought together using the M6's MDrive Manager. MDrive allows the driver to pre-select specific settings for the Power button, SMG gearbox, DSC, EDC and Head-up Display. With one push of the steering wheel-mounted button, the driver selects his or her chosen character. For example, the car can be set up for a 30 mile A-road drive to and from work or, on the other hand, for a city commute. More extreme settings can be pre-programmed for track use.
The braking system uses aluminium double piston callipers and cross-drilled discs, bringing the car to a standstill from 62mph in just 36 metres and from 124mph (200km/h) in only 140 metres – equivalent to 1.3g deceleration.
Specially developed tyres ensure that the prodigious horsepower and braking power are transferred to the road. Measuring 255/40ZR19 on the front and 285/35ZR19 on the rear, the tyres are mounted on lightweight five-spoke 19-inch forged aluminium wheels, each weighing 1.8kg less than a normal cast alloy wheel.
Like other 6 Series models, the new BMW M6 uses a hybrid construction of aluminium, thermoplastics and SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound). This mixture of materials delivers an extremely rigid, yet light, body structure. The front wings are made of thermoplastics, the doors and bonnet of aluminium and the boot lid, SMC. Like the M3 CSL, but unlike the 630i and 645Ci, the new BMW M6 also uses carbon fibre in the construction of the roof panel to reduce the weight yet further – this feature alone saves nearly 5kg and contributes towards the overall weight of just 1710kg.
Visually, the new M6 differentiates itself from the 6 Series by a deeper front valance with air intakes for the engine and brakes, more contoured sills and rear valance that includes a diffuser to increase aerodynamic efficiency. Nestling under the rear valance are BMW M's telltale four rear exhaust pipes. The new M6 is available in four exclusive M colours – Indianapolis Red, Sepang Bronze, Interlagos Blue and Silverstone alongside three other 6 Series colours.
Inside, the new M6 comes with fully adjustable M sports seats that include lumbar support and an adjustable backrest width as standard. They are covered in extended Merino leather, with the owner able to choose between Black, Silverstone or Sepang. As an option, full Merino leather can be specified in Indianapolis Red and Portland Natural Brown alongside the other three colours that includes a leather covered dashboard and Alcantara headlining.
The new BMW M6 also features BMW M's version of the new Head-up Display system. Unlike the standard Head-up Display available on 5 and 6 Series models that offers navigation instructions and cruise control information, the system on the M6 projects driver-focussed information such as engine speed, gear selected and road speed directly into the driver's view, re
moving the need for the driver to take his or her eyes off the road ahead.
The new M6 will go on sale towards the end of 2005. Dates and prices will be announced in due course.

Duration: 365 days
Onesimus [Ōnĕs'ĭmŭs]—profitable. The slave of Philemon, Paul's convert (Col. 4:7-9; Philemon 10-19). Onesimus ran away from his master and came into contact with Paul, who led him to Christ after they met in Rome. Paul urged him to return to his master and entreated Philemon to receive Onesimus, not as a slave, but as a brother in the Lord. How the apostle approached Onesimus provides us with a beautiful exhibition of Christian Courtesy.

Today's Birthdays: January 11
January 11
William James
1842–1910 psychologist
Born in New York City, William James was the son of the Swedenborgian theologian Henry James and brother of the novelist Henry James. In 1872 he joined the Harvard faculty as lecturer on anatomy and physiology, continuing to teach until 1907, after 1880 in the department of psychology and philosophy. In 1890 he published his brilliant and epoch-making Principles of Psychology, in which the seeds of his philosophy are already discernible. James's fascinating style and his broad culture and cosmopolitan outlook made him the most influential American thinker of his day.
His philosophy has three principal aspects—voluntarism, pragmatism, and "radical empiricism." He construes consciousness as essentially active, selective, interested, teleological. We "carve out" our world from "the jointless continuity of space." Will and interest are thus primary; knowledge is instrumental. The true is "only the expedient in our way of thinking." Ideas do not reproduce objects, but prepare for, or lead the way to, them. The function of an idea is to indicate "what conceivable effects of a practical kind the object may involve—what sensations we are to expect from it and what reactions we must prepare." This theory of knowledge James called pragmatism, a term already used by Charles S. Peirce. James's "radical empiricism" is a philosophy of "pure experience," which rejects all transcendent principles and finds experience organized by means of "conjunctive relations" that are as much a matter of direct experience as things themselves. Moreover, James regards consciousness as only one type of conjunctive relation within experience, not as an entity above, or distinct from, its experience. James's other philosophical writings include The Will to Believe (1897), The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), Pragmatism (1907), A Pluralistic Universe (1909), The Meaning of Truth (1909), Some Problems in Philosophy (1911), and Essays in Radical Empiricism (1912).

Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber
Source: ARC provided by the Amazon Vine Program
Rating: 4/5
Perry Stormaire is a normal high school senior – he is busy applying to college and rehearsing with his band – until he agrees to go to the prom with the Lithuanian exchange student who is staying with his family. It turns out that Gobi Zaksauskas is not the mousy teenager that she seems but rather an attractive, confident trained assassin. Instead of going to the prom, Perry finds himself on a wild ride through the streets of New York City as Gobi commandeers the Jaguar his father lent him for the prom in order to take out her targets. Perry learns a lot about himself – and ends up with some amazing material for his college application essays. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
This was one of the "hot" titles at BEA this year, and was featured on one of the Editor's Buzz Panels. I wasn't able to snag a copy at BEA, so was very happy to be able to get an ARC of my very own!
The narrator is Perry, a high school senior whose family is hosting a foreign exchange student named Gobi. Unfortunately for Perry and his friends, Gobi is not a hot Swedish model wannabe, but a plain Lithuanian wall flower. Gobi doesn't seem interested in making friends or fitting in, but content to remaining invisible at school. Until she gets it in her head that she wants to attend senior prom. And Perry is nominated as her escort. Poor Perry.
Unable to worm his way out of the date, Perry is resigned to escorting Gobi to the prom and does his best to see that she has a nice time. Perry is a genuinely nice guy, and couldn't be more surprised when Gobi turns out to be much more than the shy wall flower she pretended to be!
Taken along on a wild ride through Manhattan, Perry acts as Gobi's chauffeur while she crosses names off of her hit list. Literally. It's a crazy adventure, yet the author keeps things fun and almost believable. A much more enjoyable ride than Collateral (or any of the hit man/innocent bystander movies out there)!
Gave this one a 4/5 as it's a fast, fun read. Really got a kick out of the college application questions at the start of each chapter, as they tied things together nicely. Liked Perry and even grew to like Gobi, once we got to know her and her motivations. Looking forward to reading more from the author, as he's an original talent with a good sense of humor!

This peptide is a fragment of the human aquaporin-2 (AQP2) phosphorylated at Ser261. Protein phosphorylation plays a key role in vasopressin signaling in renal-collecting duct. Phosphorylation at several AQP2 residues including Ser256 and Ser261, is altered in response to vasopressin. It is possible that both sites are involved in vasopressin-dependent AQP2 trafficking.

[Editor's note: This story was updated at 5:00 pm ET on Feb. 5 to include material from an interview with Donald Sadoway of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; At 12:30 pm ET on Feb. 6, the piece was edited again to more accurately state the 787's total number of operation hours.]
The source of Boeing 787 battery failures is proving elusive, weeks after two separate incidents involving overheated Boeing 787 batteries led to the grounding of the entire Dreamliner fleet.
Officials have confirmed that in both cases, the lithium-ion batteries showed signs of a "thermal runaway," a chain reaction in which rising cell temperatures accelerate chemical reactions in the battery. If heat is not allowed to escape, the situation can turn destructive.
Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight and charge quickly, making them an appealing choice for an airline company looking to reduce its energy usage. The energy-dense batteries are also prone to overheating.
Some have questioned the underlying architecture of the Boeing 787 battery systems, saying it lacks the ventilation and cooling systems necessary to keep the batteries stable.
"Large cells without enough space between them to isolate against the cell-to-cell thermal domino effect means it is simply a matter of time before there are more incidents of this nature," Elon Musk, CEO of electric car company Tesla Motors, wrote in an e-mail to Flight International last week.
Mr. Musk is also the CEO of the space transport company SpaceX, which competes with Boeing on lithium-ion battery technology.
Donald Sadoway, a professor of materials chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., said the thermal runaways are the result of either poor design, damage to battery components, lack of ventilation or some combination of all three.
"A thermal runaway is a situation when the battery is passing current and the temperature keeps rising," Mr. Sadoway said in a telephone interview. "That's an indication that the buildup of the heat in the battery is in excess of the battery's ability to shed that heat to it's surrounding."
Whatever the exact cause, Sadoway said the failings shouldn't necessarily deter airline companies from relying more heavily on lithium-ion technology.
"It should be possible to make this work," he said, "but you've got to be circumspect about it."
Boeing declined to comment on the issue because of the ongoing investigation. In previous statements the company has said the 787 has 1.3 million cell hours of operation, with 16 cells per airplane. The operation hours include both on-ground and flight hours in commercial service.
The Federal Aviation Administration's testing and certification of new airline technology relies heavily on tests performed by the airline companies themselves. A 2011 report by the FAA's inspector general found that in one instance, an aircraft manufacturer made about 90 percent of the regulatory compliance determinations for a new aircraft design.
As the investigation continues, it probably will be weeks, if not months, before the grounded Dreamliner flies passengers again. In the meantime, the airline company is requesting permission from the FAA to perform test flights, the Seattle Times reports. Boeing hopes to test a possible fix that would improve the battery's ventilation of hot gas and liquid and its ability to contain internal overheating, sources told the Seattle Times.

The Duchess of Cambridge is at the centre of fresh controversy over her privacy after a German newspaper published a photograph showing her bottom.
Kate is seen in the picture walking with her husband William during their recent tour of Australia when a gust of wind blows up her dress at the back, exposing her backside.
German tabloid Bild has caused controversy by running the image, with one commentator describing the move as "utterly tasteless".
The picture appeared on a section of the Bild's website alongside pictures of American reality television star Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe with the caption: "Khloe, Kim and Kate - backsides which have moved us these past few days."
Text underneath the picture of the Duchess went on: ' 'The royal helicopter rotor blades swirled up the air so that Kate's summer dress began blowing upwards - affording us a glimpse of her beautiful bum.
"Never have we been so thankful to a helicopter for creating such a wind. "
The item was today listed as number one under a section entitled "Top 5 of the day" on the Bild homepage.
The photograph was believed to have been taken as the Duchess boarded a helicopter to Sydney after an official tour of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales with Prince William last month.
It is not the first time a publication abroad has provoked controversy over the royal couple's privacy.
French magazine Closer sparked anger by printing topless images of Kate, 32, while she was sunbathing on a private holiday with William, 31, in September 2012.
In February last year Italian gossip title Chi published pictures of the Duchess when she was around four months pregnant in a bikini while on holiday with her husband on the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams condemned the publication of the latest photographs.
He said: "I think it's utterly tasteless but it speaks for itself and that was the case with the topless photographs."
A Kensington Palace spokesman said they had no comment.

I would really like to know what this is my mother found it in my great-grandfathers storm celler in missouri about 1976. Was told at one time that it is a chinese water vase but have no idea. The dragon and the other details look like some kind of sand or grainy texture of some kind its not very light weighs at least couple of pounds. Its clay or some other kind of pottery. I am very facinated by it what is it? where is it from? Is it Chinese, Korean or Japaneese???

Whether you're a fan of P.K. Subban or not, it's important to remember that while he's a hero to one team, he relishes the role of being a villain to the rest of the NHL.
Case in point, his post-game scrum after his Montreal Canadiens won Game 6 against the Boston Bruins Monday night to force a seventh and deciding matchup.
"I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building," he said in anticipation of Game 7 in Boston. "I can't wait to take that all away from them."
Through racist tweets after his Game 1 double-overtime winning goal to getting sprayed by Shawn Thornton during play in Game 5, Subban has been front and centre in this Eastern Conference semifinal series. One he hopes will have an appropriate ending.
"That's what playoffs is all about, man," Subban told NBC. "I hope their crowd is louder than in here (at the Bell Centre). I hope it gets nasty, I hope it gets dirty, because at the end of the game when you're shaking hands – whoever wins – that's what the feeling's all about. It's knowing that you battled, you went through a war and you know what? We're going to be at the end there standing tall."
Perhaps this time Subban won't need to prompt the TD Garden crowd to make some noise like he did upon scoring the game-tying goal in Game 7 against the Bruins in 2011.
But the Habs defenceman is quick to remember his team lost that game in overtime three years ago.
"I remember losing," Subban said of that series. "I remember going into overtime and them getting a bounce. A shot that bounced through a guy's leg, hits his leg and goes in. That can be the difference in Game 7. This is going to be the biggest game of the year for us. For some guys, the biggest game of their career so far. It's fun. You've got to enjoy it. This is where legends are made."
