Jeff- 2-6-07- Ok, you can paste the link here as well. James and I will be working on the presentation at around 5pm. Let us know what the status with tomorrow will be.

--- Nick - 2/6/07 - I have a meeting from now until 5:30 and then a birth class until 9:30. In the mean time here is what I have to offer: I found a paper by the California Health Dept. that studied exhaust from big-rigs and gives a good breakdown of the components (I'll email the name of the paper to you when I get back to my computer at home). Regarding efficiency, I found a paper from 1937 that states "for equal powers, [the diesel] will use only about one half the quantity of fuel required by a gasoline motor; and in addition will use a much cheaper grade of fuel." (The Diesel Engine and Its Possibilities, Ely, Sumner) so I would suspect that in the last 70 years we have made at least a few improvements. I think it is definitely worth quoting. Regarding tomorrow: There is a funeral of a co-worker who had a heart attack last weekend. The funeral will be at 1:00 in Oceanside, I think Eric and I will be going but I'm not certain.

Jeff- I've emailed out a copy of the powerpoint presentation. I'll also put a copy on the Yahoo Groups page.

Fill in data/support of anything you can and email the presentation back to me by Tue afternoon/evening (before 9pm) and I'll compile the changes and send back a final copy to everyone.

Nick- Are we meeting before Wed. to put a presentation together? Likewise, what data do we have gathered? Where and how is it being posted? --- Jeff- I'll be gone from about 5pm Friday to around Noon Sunday, I'm going to Mexico for a InterVarsity retreat and to help lay a foundation for a building. I also fixed the outline format on this.
