Andeavor to advance Utah’s air quality with a project to produce cleaner fuels
Governor Herbert and others celebrate at project groundbreaking
SALT LAKE CITY (April 3, 2018) — Governor Gary R. Herbert today joined Andeavor Chairman, President and CEO Gregory Goff and multiple stakeholder groups at Andeavor's Salt Lake City Refinery to break ground on the company’s hydrotreater expansion project, marking continued progress in improving Utah’s air quality through the production of cleaner ‘Tier 3’ fuels.
Tier 3 fuels reduce the sulfur content of fuels, enabling a car’s catalytic converter to run better and reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions on all vehicles. On vehicles with newer emissions reduction equipment, the emissions reduction in is even greater, up to 81 percent.
“This is a big win for our air quality,” said Gov. Herbert. “We’re proud to see Utah’s largest refinery partner with my Office of Energy Development to invest in game-changing cleaner fuels that represents a lasting investment and commitment to Utah’s air quality.”
"Investing in this project to produce a cleaner product that our customers and our employees can be proud of is simply the right thing to do for Andeavor and for the State," said Goff. “This project, when complete – along with our recent Wet Gas Scrubber project – will enable our refinery to reduce emissions and help reduce vehicle emissions.”
Gov. Herbert through his Office of Energy Development has been committed to accelerating refinery investment in cleaner Tier 3 fuels by providing a significant non-refundable, post-performance tax incentive.
“We’re pleased with this project," said Laura Nelson, the Governor's energy advisor. "We’re honored to deliver on the Governor’s vision in partnership with industry to realize proactive outcomes for our energy economy and the environment.”
An analysis conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency found that several counties in Utah are among those that benefit most in the nation from Tier 3 in reducing 24-hour particulate pollution.
“Andeavor's leadership in producing Tier 3 fuels is great news for Utah's air quality because it targets emissions from automobiles, the largest source of wintertime pollution,” said Alan Matheson, executive director of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. “Every vehicle that uses Tier 3 fuel will immediately be cleaner."
In the last five years, Andeavor has invested $300 million on upgrades to reduce and control emissions, including a recent 2017 project to install a wet gas scrubber which reduces the emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides by 95 and 60 percent.

THE CUCKOOS
PREMIERE VIDEO FOR
"HEARTBREAK PARADISE"
WATCH NOW VIA GHETTOBLASTER
ON TOUR WITH SWIMMING WITH BEARS NEXT MONTH
DELUXE SELF-TITLED EP OUT NOW
"This retro-inspired four piece play classic late 60s-style acid rock with such authenticity, you'd never believe these guys were all born in the 90s." -Culture Collide
April 3, 2018 - Austin, TX - The Cuckoos have unveiled a video for their latest single, "Heartbreak Paradise", released last month for Valentine's Day. Watch the exclusive premiere on Ghettoblaster, HERE. Featuring pink-hued performance footage over tropical snippets from the band's time at Carnaval de Bahidora in Las Estacas, MX, the video represents the 'heartbreak paradise' vocalist/keyboardist Kenneth Frost describes in the song. "It's about a place for all the people that have fallen in and out of love," Frost explains. "It's a place that serves as a temporary fix for those longing for love but who are unable to move on from what they've lost." "Heartbreak Paradise", produced by Chris "Frenchie" Smith (The Dandy Warhols, Slayer, The Front Bottoms), is available for purchase/streaming on all digital platforms. For more information on The Cuckoos, please visit: http://www.thecuckoosaustin.com/.
If the first few months of 2018 are any indication of what's to come, then this year will be another great one for The Cuckoos. With the release of "Heartbreak Paradise" in February, the band was lauded by PopMatters, who noted, "Here, the group transports us back to an era filled with the kind of vibrant hues favored by the Doors and Love while remaining very much of this moment and, ever so slightly, the future." Likewise, Culture Collide praised The Cuckoos' authentic "classic late 60s style acid rock" and included the band's prior single "A Little Bit Funky" on their limited edition SXSW compilation vinyl featuring tracks from Austin's top artists.
Following all this, the band played seven SXSW showcases, including ones hosted by BalconyTV and Desert Daze, and were announced as direct support for Swimming with Bears' spring tour, kicking off on May 4th in Dallas, TX.
The Cuckoos were formed in 2014 by lead vocalist/keyboardist, Kenneth Frost, and lead guitarist/backing vocalist, Dave North. To flesh out their lineup, North introduced Frost to a pair of his longtime friends, including powerhouse drummer Cole Koenning and bassist Eric Ross. Together, despite their young ages, the four musicians have quickly amassed a body of work that evokes a nostalgic classic-rock sound, yet remains fresh and innovative.
The band's self-titled debut EP was released in April 2017 to praise from Relix, Glide Magazine and Pancakes & Whiskey, and hit #53 on NACC Radio 200, #13 on NACC Radio 200 Adds and #34 on FMQB Alt Spec Albums. The success of the EP also helped make possible a distribution deal with Republic of Music, a two-week tour of the UK, a show in New York City, their first-ever Mexico dates and a set at Bahidora Festival.

• Loneliness at Work
Friendship doesn’t always come with the job. Employees laboring side by side for hours at a time can still feel disconnected, causing more than just a decrease in their mental health. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School foundthat loneliness also lowers workplace performance. Managers can take certain actions to help marooned employees, such as introducing relationship-building exercises. But these should not be confused with social events such as parties, which may create more pain for the isolated individual.

• Cancer Hope
Though scientists have made great strides in treating many forms of breast cancer, few targeted treatments are available for triple-negative breast cancer, which tends to be a highly aggressive disease. By examining the “powerhouses” of cells, small vessels called mitochondria, researc hers from the University of Pennsylvania have taken a step forward. Their work identified unique patterns in the mitochondrial DNA in triple-negative breast cancer cells. Zeroing in on these genetic defects might offer clinicians a way to personalize treatment for breast cancer patients.

• Gender and Authorship
Issues like equal pay, opportunity for advancement and recognition plague every industry. Science is no exception. Female medical school graduates are less likely to rise to the ranks of full professor and less likely to receive funding. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania aimed to find out what may be behind that disparity by examining the gender of first authors on academic studies when two people work as a team and share equal responsibilities for the science. While men were still disproportionately listed first on papers with a clinical focus, researchers found lead authorship was a 50/50 split between the genders in basic science work. “We hope this suggests that in some small way, gender disparities are starting to be addressed,” said researcher Steven Joffe.
