A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) combines a conventional ground propulsion system with an on-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) to achieve better fuel economy in automobiles than a conventional vehicle without being hampered by range from a charging unit like a battery electric vehicle, which uses batteries charged by an external source. The different propulsion power systems may have common subsystems or components.
Regular HEVs most commonly use an internal combustion engine (ICE) and toxic electric batteries to power electric motors. Modern mass produced HEVs prolong the charge on their batteries by capturing kinetic energy via regenerative braking, and some HEVs can use the combustion engine to generate electricity by spinning an electrical generator to either recharge the battery or directly feed power to an electric motor that drives the vehicle. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the ICE at idle and restarting it when needed. An HEV's engine is smaller and may be run at various speeds, providing more efficiency.

Types of Hybrid VehiclesEdit
In a parallel hybrid electric vehicle uses gas power and motor power at the same time. They are mechanically coupled at the drive train or at the rear or a connection to a wheel using a transmission element.
In a series- or serial-hybrid vehicle has also been referred to as an Extended Range Electric Vehicle or Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (EREV/REEV); however, range extension can be accomplished with either series or parallel hybrid layouts.
Series-hybrid vehicles are driven by the electric motor with no mechanical connection to the engine. Instead there is an engine tuned for running a generator when the battery pack energy supply isn't sufficient for demands.
This arrangement is not new, being common in diesel-electric locomotives and ships. Ferdinand Porsche used this setup in the early 20th century in racing cars, effectively inventing the series-hybrid arrangement. Porsche named the arrangement "System Mixt". A wheel hub motor arrangement, with a motor in each of the two front wheels was used, setting speed records. This arrangement was sometimes referred to as an electric transmission, as the electric generator and driving motor replaced a mechanical transmission. The vehicle could not move unless the internal combustion engine was running.
The setup has never proved to be suitable for production cars, however it is currently being revisited by several manufacturers.

Benefits of Hybrid Electric CarsEdit
Fuel consumption and emissions reductions The hybrid vehicle typically achieves greater fuel economy and lower emissions than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), resulting in fewer emissions being generated. These savings are primarily achieved by three elements of a typical hybrid design:
- relying on both the engine and the electric motors for peak power needs, resulting in a smaller engine sized more for average usage rather than peak power usage. A smaller engine can have less internal losses and lower weight.
- having significant battery storage capacity to store and reuse recaptured energy, especially in stop-and-go traffic,which is represented by the city driving cycle.
- recapturing significant amounts of energy during braking that are normally wasted as heat. This regenerative braking reduces vehicle speed by converting some of its kinetic energy into electricity, depending upon the power rating of the motor/generator;
Other techniques that are not necessarily 'hybrid' features, but that are frequently found on hybrid vehicles include:
- shutting down the engine during traffic stops or while coasting or during other idle periods;
- improving aerodynamics; (part of the reason that SUVs get such bad fuel economy is the drag on the car. A box shaped car or truck has to exert more force to move through the air causing more stress on the engine making it work harder). Improving the shape and aerodynamics of a car is a good way to help better the fuel economy and also improve handling at the same time.
- using low rolling resistance tires (tires were often made to give a quiet, smooth ride, high grip, etc., but efficiency was a lower priority). Tires cause mechanical drag, once again making the engine work harder, consuming more fuel. Hybrid cars may use special tires that are more inflated than regular tires and stiffer or by choice of carcass structure and rubber compound have lower rolling resistance while retaining acceptable grip, and so improving fuel economy whatever the power source.
- powering the a/c, power steering, and other auxiliary pumps electrically as and when needed ; this reduces mechanical losses when compared with driving them continuously with traditional engine belts.
- Hybrids helps reduce the dependancy on fossil fuels, which directly effects fuel prices. This provides environmental and economic advantages.
These features make a hybrid vehicle particularly efficient for city traffic where there are frequent stops, coasting and idling periods. In addition, noise emissions are reduced, particularly at idling and low operating speeds, in comparison to conventional engine vehicles. For continuous high speed highway use these features are much less useful in reducing emissions.

Utica bars prepare for a busy day after the parade
By LEXIE O'CONNOR
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - Many Utica bar owners are gearing up for a big day Saturday following the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade. They anticipate thousands of people to fill the street during the day.
"It's one of the biggest days of the year for us," said Michael McNamara, bar manager at Nail Creek.
McNamara says the day of Utica's St. Patrick's Day Parade is like a busy Saranac Thursday, but lasting all day.
Nail Creek plans to open 8 am Saturday offering free t-shirts to the first 100 people to buy a drink. Saturday preparing
"Got at least 15 or so kegs delivered today, we got the Port-a-Johns set up, we broke all the ice on the deck, so it'll be nice and clear for the crowds," said McNamara. "I've been here since 10:30 in the morning so it's been a long day and tomorrows another."
O'Donnell's says they're switching from bottles to cans to be safer with the expected crowds.
Many bars are looking forward to potentially benefiting twice from the Irish holiday this year with the parade now a weekend before the actual St. Patrick's Day.
"It definitely helps out. They do that because of the bigger bands and stuff they try and get go to the bigger cities for the actual St. Patrick's Day weekend," said McNamara. "So it definitely benefits us because you get an increased crowd on both weekends."
The extra festivities, mean extra security. Utica police estimate that they're looking at a minimum of $5,000 in overtime for Saturday overtime that will increase if the bars hold events next weekend as well.

All week at the PEI Rocket training camp, Alexis Pepin has shown the reasons he was touted by many as being the best player available in June's QMJHL Entry Draft. People will get their first chance to see Pepin in pre-season action tomorrow afternoon as the Rocket host the Saint John Seadogs, at 2 o'clock, at the Pownal Sport Centre.
Tomorrow's game will be the second game of a home and home with the Seadogs. The Rocket are on the road tonight playing the defending President Cup Champions, in Quispamsis.
Camp opened with 45 players vying to make the team and the first cuts were yesterday. The two games this weekend will be a good opportunity for the 36 players left in camp to make an impression on head coach Gordie Dwyer.
Dwyer is looking forward to the two upcoming games. He says, "we have some young guys that have certainly shown tremendous upside and our veterans came to camp ready to go. Out intra-squad games were good but these two games are great opportunities for guys to show us what they can do in real game situations."
Admission for tomorrow's game is $5 for all ages except children 6 and under, as they will be admitted free of charge.
Be the first to know what's happening in the QMJHL

save money and to know what is going into my son's body. I got the book Top 100 baby purees - it is so simple. The one thing that made me do it was hearing that baby food from the store is good for 2 years. What do they do to it to make it good for 2 years? I was shocked by that - and like I said, it is cheaper.
I thought about getting the babycook, but they only eat pureed food for like 6 months...I didn't think it was worth the money. It did look like it made making baby food easy though. Here's what I got:
I'm doing it for nutrition and the money. I mean, who eats most of their food from a jar? We don't, so I don't want K to...though I will have some handy just in case. Plus, it's much cheaper to make it yourself.
Nutrition and money both. It's generally cheaper and I know what's in ds' food. Here's a great website:
There are recipes, but to start you're just doing single-ingredient purees so it's really just cook, puree, strain if it's something with a shell like peas.
Here's a couple more good links if you're thinking about organic- I do some organic and some not, organic on high-to -medium pesticide load foods and non-organic on low pesticide load foods. This evens out the cost a bit because I can buy $3.50/lb organic peaches and then a $0.89 bag of frozen peas or squash.
I'm doing it so I know what really goes inside his body. I know that commercial baby food is safe but it has a lot of fillers. I also do it so I can broaden his taste buds, if that makes sense. We are pretty cosmopolitan in what we eat since we come from such different cultures and have been deeply immersed in others. I want our child to like American food as well as Cuban, British, Indian, Italian, etc. Does that make sense?
I also do it for the cost....it's SO much cheaper!
I already made a whole boatload of food for DD, and I couldn't believe how cheap and easy it really was! You don't need a book as long as you know how to cook veggies (how long to steam them for, etc...) Sadly I don't eat a lot of veggies, so I definitely had to look that stuff up, but you could also just rent a book from the library and copy down the info! (Super Baby Foods is the one I used...)
I only did 5 veggies so far (sweet potatoes, green beans, broccoli, acorn squash and butternut squash) and I had all of them cooking simultaneiously in different burners, in the oven, etc, so it didn't take much time at all! Then you just scoop them out, puree them, and freeze it! Easy! And you'd be amazed just how much food can come from just ONE butternut squash!

When BlackBerry servers crashed between Tuesday and Thursday last week, owners of the popular business phones were left without a tool they've come to rely on. At the same time, the server crash could have made roads in the Middle East that much safer.
The National reports that traffic accidents in Dubai dropped 20 percent compared to historical averages during the blackout. In Abu Dhabi, accidents dropped by 40 percent, and there were zero fatalities. If you're thinking that this isn't a significant enough sample to show that smart phones and distracted driving are inexorably linked, consider this: There is an accident in Dubai every three minutes.
Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim pointed out to The National that the accidents resulting from distracted driving "range between minor and moderate ones, but at times they are deadly." Officer Al Harethi took it a step farther, adding "the roads became much safer when BlackBerry stopped working."
While the loss of BlackBerry service was no doubt a major inconvenience, these real-life statistics once again show that smart phones and driving just don't mix.

Our State Room: We went with the inside room (cheaper). We had 2 rooms side by side with a door in the middle. We kept this door propped open so we could see the kids at all time. The rooms were a an ok size. The do not have very many adjoining rooms like this but it worked out great for us!! Bathrooms are ok size ( 1 person in at a time) They will provide you with a hair dryer upon request. They do provide soap in dispensers but I recommend bringing your own!
Service: All I can say is out of this world! Everyone from Room service to wait staff. They made us feel like we were the only one who matters. Youth staff was awesome!~ I never thought twice about leaving my children with them!!
Food: was Good, always warm, good variety. Quality was comparable to Any buffet restaurant ( Ryans, Golder Corral,Sizzler) FREE sit down restaurants were nice. We ate buffets for breakfast and lunch and sit down restaurant for dinner!
Youth Program: Our kids had fun but I think they could get a little more creative with there activities. Pirate Parade was the best!!!
Ports: Freeport- take taxi ( $10 round trip) to FREE BEACH ACCESS... It was pretty once you got there. We didnt do excursions here but had a good time in the ocean.
Nassau- Went to pirate museum and markets and on a glass bottom boat tour. Good times but we needed more time to spend on this island!!
Great Stirrup Cay- BEAUTIFUL!! yes they are still doing construction but it will not bother you! Beach is beautiful and no waves so easy for the kids to play in.. Dont waste your $$ on snorkling gear ( $30 to rent) just bring your own. I brought just goggles and saw plenty!!! Kids loved the Hippo slide!

Trina Solar's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Solar now can clearly [position us] against our other alternative such as wind and (inaudible) user base for an increasing number of markets, and the user categories. We view this as positive trend (inaudible) for our company and the solar industry in the future.
Lastly, I wish to highlight our mission today, announced the ISO certification from the British Standards Institute. This achievement is a great [declamation] of our commitment to leading the PV industry in sustainable development.
With that, I'd like to turn the call to our CFO, Terry Wang to share our fourth quarter 2011 financial results. Terry?
Terry WangThank you, Mr. Gao, and welcome everyone to our earnings conference call. I'd like to present an overview of our fourth quarter and full year financial results followed by the company's guidance for the first quarter and the full year of 2012. Due to the growth of the worldwide module capacity, and peak third quarter inventory levels, the fourth quarter saw significantly lower product prices. Though our costs came down substantially due to the low cash costs and the inventory walk through, which I will discuss later, reductions were not sufficient enough to offset the fall of ASP in this quarter, which inevitably affect our margin, and adversely affect our bottom line results. We have achieved in this quarter, roughly shipment of a 425 megawatt, which exceeded our upper range of guidance by 21%, translated to a total net revenue of $435 million in the fourth quarter, quarter-on-quarter volume increase approximately 16%. Reflecting market ASP reductions, our gross profit was $31 million, a decrease of approximately 40% from third quarter. The overall gross margin was 7.1% below the company's previous guidance of approximately 10%. And that will increase the cost control measures taken in the fourth quarter, will incur our 21.6% increase in operating expenses to $93.9 million, which include accounts receivables, provisions of $16.3 million, and a $9.1 million provisions for earlier polysilicon supply (inaudible), one of the which to Anatone Solar.

Trayvon Martin's parents spent the one-year anniversary of his shooting death in New York City's Union Square attending a 'Million Hoodie Candlelight Vigil' along with a crowd of several hundred supporters. Also attending, Jamie Foxx. Foxx told the crowd that Harry Belafonte's plea for social activism at the Image Awards earlier this month was the catalyst for that commitment. Foxx said he "felt embarrassed" after hearing Belafonte say, "We have so much influence and so much money, but we don't do anything with it." Then Foxx surprised the crowd by singing a verse from Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper," hugged Trayvon's parents and told them, "We love you."

Editor's Note: It's no secret that men love woman-on-top sex. But guess what? It's not just a great way to give him a nice view and a night off from "doing all the work." Woman actually orgasm easiest when they're in control! So check out these 7 sexy positions that are all about your pleasure.
Today's tip focuses on female-superior positions in which you get to lie back and relax while your woman does all the dirty work. But wait: How can you convince her to do her thing without sounding like a dictator? Easy, all you have to do is tell her that you want to watch her work that sexy body of hers, and she'll be on top of you in no time.
Watch Video: Types of Orgasms
As for getting her to move into the following positions, you can always simply maneuver her body subtly. After all, you are the man, and even when she thinks she's in control, in reality, you are.
For now, here are seven positions you'll want her to get into.
1. The Standard
I'm sure you've had a woman ride you in the standard fashion before. Lie down and bring your woman on top of you, leaning on her knees for momentum. She can either keep her torso upright, or she can lie on top of you while she does her thing.
2. The Butt Face
As you lie down on your back, have your woman get into a doggie style position with her butt facing you. Placing her feet atop your rib area, she can guide your manhood inside her and you can enjoy the view.
3. The Squat
While you lie on your back on the bed, your woman should get on top of you. However, instead of using her knees to go up and down, she will instead squat and use her feet to go up and down slowly. If she's a trooper, she will depend on nothing but her feet to move. But be aware that this is for women who have strong legs; otherwise, she won't be able to last longer than a few seconds.
4. The Close-Legged Trip
While you sit on the bed with your butt resting on the heels of your feet and leaning back on your hands, have your woman (who's on her knees) get on top of you, and slowly make her way up and down. This allows for full penetration.
5. The Back Arch
While you lie on a bed with your legs spread open and hanging off the side of the bed, let her sit on top of you with her back facing you. With her closed legs on the ground as well -- arching her back and using her hands to lean back on the bed -- she can maneuver herself up and down at will.
6. Up & Down
As you lie on your back with your legs closed and knees slightly bent, have your woman sit on top of you and face the other way (her butt, once again, is facing you). Instead of moving up and down, she can also rock back and forth. This will provide both clitoral and G-spot stimulation, and isn't that what all women want?
7. Easy Butt Grab
Lie down flat with your legs spread. Get your woman to lie on top of you, legs straight out but closed. She has the choice of either rocking back and forth or elevating her butt at will -- or both.

The purpose of the seminar is to learn about worker-owned and managed cooperatives from world experts in the field. With more than 50 years of experience, the Mondragón Cooperatives now encompass 264 worker-owned businesses, employ more than 100,000 worker-owners, and have production plants on four continents. Their democratic model of management and humanitarian commitment to social responsibility, are pivotal factors in their longterm success. Mondragón describes their organizational ethic as "an environment in constant economic, social and political evolution."
Highlights include:
• The culture and values of Mondragón.
• Visits to cooperative businesses, including a youth cooperative and an incubator for new cooperative projects.
• A presentation of Mondragón projects for developing countries.
• Learn about the financial mechanisms of Mondragón: how it works, why it thrives.
• Mondragón's Corporate Management Model.
• Visit Mondragón University and the education center where the Mondragón movement began.
• How to transfer the Mondragón Experience to our communities.
The seminar will include 4 days of presentations and tours of Mondragón businesses. On the 5th day, Praxis Peace Institute will host a day of discussion and brainstorming on ways in which these ideas can be used in our communities back home and how we can find support for cooperative business ventures.
