Every time Tesla breaks into a new market, the media brings up the same concern: that electric vehicles will overwhelm electric grids, resulting in blackouts. But researchers, analysts, and government officials agree this worry is unfounded.
According to many, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Electric Power Research Institute, EVs like the Tesla Roadster and upcoming Model S won't strain standard electrical grids for several reasons:
EVs don't use much more power than major electronics. The energy demanded by most plug-in vehicles during charging (about 2 kilowatts) is the same amount drawn by four to five plasma-screen televisions. In just the U.S., 115 million households own televisions, and more than half own two or three -- yet you never hear about consumers and utilities panicking about TVs disrupting the grid. There's a common misconception that electric cars will double or even triple the amount of power pulled from the grid by the typical home, but this simply isn't the case.
Electric vehicles will roll out gradually. Analysts predict that only 500,000 EVs will be produced around the world every year, starting in 2015. Continuing with the television comparison, the half million cars added every year to the world's supply will use about as much power as 2 million plasma TV sets. To put this in context, about 28 million televisions are sold annually in the U.S. alone. Considering that grid utilities are already upgrading local transformers and grid equipment to handle greater loads, accommodating a growing number of EVs shouldn't be a problem.
Smart grid safeguards are on the way. In addition to adding capacity, utilities are creating incentives and mechanisms to encourage EV charging at night when energy demand is low. Many power companies are planning to introduce discounted rates for EV owners who plug in during off-peak hours. Today, utilities are rolling out millions of residential smart meters and devices that will allow for simple, automated charging. Soon, EV owners will be able to plug in when they get home from work at 5 pm, knowing that their car won't start charging until cheaper electricity rates kick in at 11 pm. This technology is set to become commonplace well ahead of major EV market share, ensuring a stronger grid for the next wave of transportation.
Tesla is taking grid parameters very seriously as we deliver more cars. The Roadster is designed to consume only as much power as is available. Pair this with the fact that the average Roadster only needs its battery topped off after driving an average of 40 miles a day, and it's clear that EVs won't break the grid anytime soon.
I'm not saying solar is wrong for everyone. It works for people who have high electric costs. You have to do the math and figure out if it works for you. There are flexible solar panels you can roll up and put in your trunk.
My company installs solar panels.... rarely.
To get the full efficiency out of a solar panel it must be pointed directly at the sun. For max efficiency (that 20% you are talking about) you need to mount the panels on a tracker that will follow the sun.
Dust, pollen, snow, leaves.... anything on the panels will reduce the efficiency.
Clouds will reduce the efficiency.
The sun does not shine at full strength from sunrise to sunset. At rise and set it is coming thru more atmosphere so the efficiency is less. Best efficiency is when the sun is directly over head.
There are less sun hours in winter than in summer.
That's where the AVERAGE usable hours comes from. In St, Louis, MO there are 5 hours of sun per day on average for the year. There are charts and all kinds of stuff on the web to calculate the pay off. In Saint Louis it's just not there yet.
Sun angle calculator:
This one will give you an idea of solar output if you live in the US.
Also watch the solar panel warranties very closely. The site above has good expensive panels. They guarantee the panel to be at 80% in 25 years. Some panels drop in power on a parabolic curve the minute they see sunlight over the 25 year warranty.
Darn map now shows St. Louis only has 4 hours (or less) now. Well at least they update their web page.
ifilm77, You were posting this same messege on all the threads. As someone pointed out to you not necessry to post same messege on all threads as most of us read them all any way. Some were critsizing you for this. I just thought you might hve not learned the ropes yet and defended you but it was pointed out to me you were likely just advertising you website. Whether just a new kid on the block and not familiar with how things go or someone blantantly advertisising will let you decide. But surely you know now not to put same messege on every thread. I kind of felt ridiculous defending you when it was pointed out why you were posting on all threads. Anyway whatever, glad you like the Tesla's and hope you enjoy an SUV.
I have been researching solar panels for several years now - I plan to use them on the house I will build. The prices for solar have come down enormously over the past 2 years. Yesterday I
priced some panels by BP and Canadian Solar and Evergreen, all with 25 year warrantees and guaranteed output. The price for some were less than $1.60 per watt. I estimate that my house will require about a 6K system, or roughly $9,000 for 30 panels.
Use microinverters - they make the installation a snap and remove most of reduced harvest issues, such as clouding, dirty panels, shadowing, etc. The Feds grant $1000 per kilowatt capacity of your system and the tax break can be spread over 3 years, I beleieve.
My site, in NC, averages 5 suns, from 3.8 in the dead of winter to 5.9 in the height of summer. Tracking mechanisms have never been recommmended - they are simply not cost effective, and even less so today with cheaper panels - simply add more panels. they are far, far more reliable than any tracker machinery, which is mechanical and will always break down. You can construct your array so that it can have its elevation adjusted as the seasons change, but the benefits are not that great. Simply point your panels due south and elevate them at an angle equal to 90% minus your latitude. That will maximize yearly energy harvest for a fixed array.
I looked at the link for Focus Fusion that Brian H posted a while back in this thread. (I am a newcomer to this forum but have been following Tesla for several years.) The article describes a process that sounded so odd to me that I looked it up on Wikipedia, where it is described as being theoretically possible, but extremely difficult, with several enormous technological hurdles and unlikely to come to fruition any time in the near to moderate future. Among the problems are that a much higher temperature is required and much less energy produced, compared with other fusion reactions.
I see no reason that fusion cannot supply energy at some time in the future, but given how far we are from solving the technological problems, I'm comfortable saying that in my lifetime the only fusion power we're going to have outside of minuscule amounts in the lab is that big yellow fireball that rises up over the horizon every morning.
The wiki article is worth about as much as you paid for it. The temperatures involved in the LPP process occur in minute "plasmoids" which are magnetically self-contained, and last microseconds. That's the key to the process; the fusion bursts are short enough not to require "containment", but powerful enough to generate significant ion and electron flows.
Your confidence is based on inadequate investigation.
I have been researching and following solar PV for almost two years
and they have become more efficient and a lot cheaper. Thinfilm
is not what an automaker would likely use and they do not achieve 20% efficiencies. Mono or polychrystaline can achieve close to 20% in commercially available panels. Of course, those stated figures of 20% efficiency are actually exaggerations of what will be obtained in most situations. Expect more like 15 or 16% efficiencies, yielding 300 watts off your 2 square meters. Unfortunately you have made several errors - first you assume that 8 hours of sunlight striking a panel that could yield, realistically, 200 watts (max) would provide 8 times 200 watts. Wrong. The panel rated at 200 watts will only yield that rate for a few minutes per day when the sun is dead overhead, there's no smog, etc. or clouds. All other times the panel will yield less than its maximum. Locales are rated in terms of the number of "suns" they receive, on average, for that date. The sun may actually shine for 12 hours in Arizona, but the number of suns will probably be around 6 or 7. Most locales in the US yield 5 or fewer suns per day during the summer and 3 to 4 per day in the winter months. The number can be obtained from solar irradiance charts and provide data from the past 20 years or so for any locale in the world. The other error you make is asssuming that if a panel produces 200 watts, that the battery will absorb
all 200 watts and none will be lost drawing the power from the
battery , both of which are quite wrong. Expect to lose 25% from the action of putting power into and drawing power out of a battery. And there is yet another error- that 200 watt panel is rated to harvest 200 watts (theoretically, not in actuality) only IF it is pointed directly towards the sun, at all times, which is impossible.
Using this data, for an average day, with 5 suns, expect to harvest not 2000 watthours, but more like 1500, and to lose
25% or 375 watthours, ending up with 1125 watthours per day.
That's enough to travel roughly 4 miles in a Tesla Model S.
And the power is worth 15 cents where I come from. The panels will
probably be a $1000 plus option.
i'm getting solar panels on my roof from solarcity.com. this will reduce my costs, and help the environment, and future generations. this will cost me nothing.
my monthly electric bill will be less. solar city has a GREAT lease program. i wish everybody would do this. solarcity.com. thanks. peace. :-)

Powered Highways
Not everyone can afford to buy a 300 mile range battery pack; even if prices come down more than current forecasts, there is an environmental penalty associated with batteries of that capacity. Even worse, when EVs become more than a few percent of total vehicles, the queuing of people and vehicles at roadside charging stations on major highway routes will become an intractable problem. What we need is powered highways that sustain the vehicle charge while underway. The vehicle enters the highway with a particular state of charge, drives a few hundred miles, or even more, then leaves the powered highway with the same or better charge status. While there are challenges in bringing this to fruition, the problems are amenable to engineering.
First, the vehicle needs a computer-controlled pickup arm that optimizes the charge efficiency over the uneven roadway and various driver maneuvers. Equipped with IR, sonar or radar, the intelligent pick up arm will be articulated and powered to maintain the closest possible alignment of the vehicle to the charge element in the roadway. When you consider what Google is doing with self-driving cars, the knowledge base for vehicular software is getting quite mature.
Second, the charge element in the roadway is also a communications carrier; signals are exchanged between the vehicle and a regional traffic control system that integrates each vehicle into an intelligent grid of all the vehicles active on that roadway. Auto-pilot ervices are provided to the driver that surpass what can be provided by cruise control, including possible hands-free driving. The auto-pilot system provides control over the vehicle while it is in the charging lane and controls its relationship to other vehicles in the lane for greatly increased safety. Like the HOV lanes of today, legislation would provide that only EVs could drive in the charging lane. Because the charging element is recessed into the roadway, drivers enter and leave the charging lane at will, just by steering across the lane. The system acquires or releases vehicle telemetry and control automatically. Part of the telemetry system functions will be to steer the vehicle under computer control to also optimize the efficiency of the charging functions.
Third, the vehicle computer provides for payment of the charging toll; use of the charging lane should be something that can be paid in advance for regular users of a particular highway or paid on the spot by "guest" drivers. The tolls should be enough to pay for the electricity used and to retire the capital invested in the charging and computing infrastructure in the roadway. This toll should be favorable when contrasted to the cost of fuel over the same route for a gasoline powered vehicle. For example, I-5 between Sacramento and Los Angeles passes about 105,000 vehicles an hour at peak. If EVs become 3% of vehicles on this route, each one paying about $40 for a 400 mile trip, the peak revenue/hour could be $3,150. The average daily revenue could be in the range of $25,200 and the annual revenue could be over $9 million, or about $100 MM over the life of the infrastructure. At 10% penetration of EVs on a powered highway the annual revenue could hit $30 MM and the lifetime revenue would be over $2 billion.
nice thoughts. Allow me to make some comments on that.
First, a mechanical (conductive) energy pickup is improbable. You don't want voltage carrying metal strips exposed on the tarmac. There is, however, an overhead pickup system well established for vehicle use. It's called electric train ;-)
Seriously, inductive electric charge transfer while-you-drive is in test. Engineering problem solved. Now we need funding...
Second, you want only one communication system in the car and you want it to work everywhere, side roads, city, front yard. It will be wireless. Model S will come with 3G or 4G and an attractively priced data plan.
Third, infrastructure projects paid by future users always run into the chicken-egg-problem: Huge investments prohibit a large-scale roll out, low user numbers prohibit a quick scale up, low coverage prohibits many cars to be fitted with the necessary pickup tech.
Some people won't like charge-per-use since it gives an exact record of whodunnitwhereandwhen.
Since electricity cost is 6c per mile, there is little room for margin to run that business model on. Double it and collect another 6c for every mile...
I'm afraid you need the government to step in there, a no-go for so many US citizens... but might be a possibility in China where the govt sticks at nothing.
At local rates here, home charging costs about 2¢/mi. 10¢ for the privilege of charging on the road is a bit rich!
As someone who spent the last two years of my life designing and building a competition solar car for Iowa State University, I can attest that unfortunately even with the best mono-crystalline silicon solar cells on the market right now, a Model S roof covered in solar panels wouldn't make much of a dent in the overall energy usage of the vehicle. This is not to say that it doesn't make sense to offer it as an option. After all, vehicle's do spend a lot of their lives parked in sunny spots, so why not take advantage of this as much as possible if you can afford the cost?
First a little background. Our 2012 solar car called Hyperion had 6m^2 photovoltaic area using 22.3% efficient cells made by SunPower in California. This is far more area than would be practical for any production vehicle (it barely leaves room for the small cockpit that accommodates a single driver). On a good sunny day with the sun directly overhead, our solar array could produce 1200-1300W. However, over the course of the year in typical Iowa weather, the flat array would only produce an average of 5kWh per day throughout the course of the year assuming that it is never shaded. This is sufficient energy to take the car about 170 per day at a cruising speed of 45MPH. However, the car only weights 660lb with a driver and have an aerodynamic cd of about 0.11. If you'd like more info on the car, check out the fact sheet. http://solarcar.stuorg.iastate.edu/media/fact_sheets/p11_hyperion.pdf
Transferring this solar technology to something like the Model S is certainly possible, but the results would be much less impressive. A quick calculation shows that there is about 1.65m^2 of space available on the Model S roof for a photovoltaic surface. Taking SunPower's latest and greatest C65 cells, this would yield about 350W of power on good day with the sun directly overhead. Again taking Iowa's average solar radiation for a flat panel solar array, this could realistically produce 1.3kWh/day if it weren't shaded. If we assume the Model S can go 3mi/kWh, that would yield a range of nearly 4 miles per day on power from the rooftop solar installation. For the average american that drives 37 miles per day, this would be over 10% of their driving powered on solar energy produced by the vehicle. This could of course be supplemented by an additional home solar installation. In general, a home solar installation makes more sense it me since you could get by with cheaper, lower efficiency solar cells since there is generally a lot more space available on a roof or in a back yard than on a vehicle.
Finally, let's try to gauge the cost of the solar installation described above for the Model S. For our 6m^2 solar car array at Iowa State, we paid $9,000 just for the cells. Hence a Model S installation, the cost of these same cells would be under $2,500. Granted, this cost would likely be a lot lower for mass production due to economies of scale, but then you have to add the cost of the inverter, wiring, and cell mounting/protection. I should mention that there are solar cells on the market that cost significantly less per watt (1/4 the cost), but only have an efficiency of 18-20% and from less reputable companies. My numbers above are intended to show the best case scenario that could be realistically achieved with today's technology (without considering 30% efficient space grade gallium arsenide solar cells which are triple junction and cost astronomically more than silicon solar cells).
Compared to the cost of slightly increased battery capacity, and the electricity required to fill it, solar on cars is insanely expensive, and in practice almost useless. The constraints do not conform in any respect to how people actually use cars.
There is a one use which could be enough for adding tiny solar panel in practical family BEV: all batteries lose energy slowly if left unplugged, so add a solar panel that just big enough to counter that loss + a bit extra and you can leave your BEV in sunny parking lot indefinitely without plugging it in. For that use panel needed would be tiny.
As option of course, here in Finland such solar panel would not make much sense, but if you live in some very sunny place it could be worth the extra buck.
Apparently the Karma solar roof cost $5K (or $5K/W?), enough to run a fan. Is that worth it?
That price has quite a bit "Karma" in it, you can run a fan with panel that costs fifty bucks, not five grand if that is all that it is doing.
Real question here is how much power do you need to maintain battery charge.
... found this "50 percent charge would approach full discharge only after about 12 months.
12 months is about 8600 hours, 50% of charge of 85kWh battery is 42.5kWh. 42500/8600 ~= 5W. Not kW, W. to maintain charge panel needed would be really tiny.
Nice to have some hard numbers Evan, thank you.
"Real question here is how much power do you need to maintain battery charge"
And battery temperature.
Averaged over 24 hrs., say 120Wh, of course, with variable sun hours, intensity, and angle daily, and seasonally. Or none if it's indoors. And assuming it doesn't accumulate a layer of dust or condensed smog. /:p
Smart grid safeguards are on the way. In addition to adding capacity, utilities are creating incentives and mechanisms to encourage EV charging at night when energy demand is low
You make me laught :-)
everything what you need is this
it cost less than 6 bucks
BTW: for night tarif you can make special plug which works only at night tarif. people here usualy have it(czech rep)
you dont need some special space technologies.
1) Smart Grid is the devil. It benefits only the utilities; no one has come up with anything better than feeble hand-wave benefits to the consumer. Internal "smart gridding" of the home so usage per appliance could be tracked would help, but is of no interest to the utilities. They just want to be able to cut off power where and when convenient, to reduce peak load requirements. Bah.
2)Tesla has gone with Solar City in offering free power to all Model S owners (on intercity freeways, etc.) using the best model: power the cars with Superchargers connected to the grid, and generate excess solar power to sell back to the utilities (i.e., more, overall, than the cars draw). Brilliant!
Well, the benefit to consumers is that the grid will go dark less often. Since we aren't used to this happening, I think we underestimate that benefit. Alternatively, we could pay more so that they could just install more capacity, but that's not how things seem to work in the real world.
It certainly serves as extra capacity, but if the FIT is > grid price, consumers are paying too much for it. As is the case with virtually all solar power, except in a few special circumstances of no economic importance.

Tyndale Blog Network - cool idea!
|Wed, 04-13-2011 - 11:47am
Seems like most Christian authors use Facebook, their website or Twitter (maybe all three) to invite folks to review their books, often as part of a "blog tour," where there's a specific week for everyone to post their reviews online and spread the word about a new book. Generally you get a free copy of the book for agreeing to be part of the review process.
Looks like Tyndale's taking that idea a bit further and creating their own panel of bloggers to review their books and other products. I applied yesterday and got an email this morning saying I'm in. Yay!

Our philosophy is that if it's not worth driving, it's not worth building. So in our quest for better environmental performance, our goal was to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising driving performance. To get there, we started with a clean sheet of paper and engineered every major component of the automobile to work together in efficient harmony. The result is something revolutionary.
Currently, 95% of the world uses gasoline or diesel combustion engines, and by 2020 90% still will. In this fact we saw an enormous opportunity: If we could find a way to make the internal combustion engine work better, we could make a big difference in how much fuel the world uses and how much CO2 is emitted. Our solution is the SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine, a 2.0 L marvel that produces 10% to 15% more low/mid-range torque, along with 15% lower fuel consumption and emissions than our previous 2.0 L engine.
Now that we had come up with such a revolutionary engine, we needed the ultimate transmission to get all that precious energy to the wheels. How do you build that? Study every modern transmission made, take the best features of each and fire up the blender. Then, top it all off by adding a brain, A.K.A. an advanced control module. The result is the SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed Sport mode automatic transmission. It shifts smoothly for steady acceleration and quickly for the connected feel of a manual transmission, while the brain delivers precision responsiveness and reliability.
With our SKYACTIV Body and Chassis, we were determined to get more of that exhilarating Mazda driving feel while increasing crash safety performance and reducing weight. Through smarter engineering and materials, we were able to improve body rigidity by 30% (for better handling) and shed 220 pounds, all while improving crash safety performance. To give you more of that "oneness" between car and driver, the suspension was redesigned for greater agility at low speeds and more stability at high speeds.

Seth had left the kitchen after breakfast. Eleanor thought of going geocaching again as Seth re-entered the room.
They discussed yesterday's challenging caches: a puzzle, a maze, rocks in a pile, a box on the edge of a cliff (they were actually two of our caches). Of all the difficulties, the height of the cliff had bothered Seth the most.
So they were ready for something easier today. They selected six new caches and decided it was worth re-establishing their old rule: No micros, no nanos, no rough terrain. Seth was the slowest to get ready but by nine am, they finally headed out.
The first cache was easy to find at the foot of trees (even if fallen leaves were covering the ammo box). The second and third were under URPs. The next cache was hidden in a tree in a natural hole covered by bark. Cache number five took a while to find, hidden in underbrush but they were glad to discover a beautiful bronze round geocoin with an image the Olympic rings (a kind of I've personally never seen before). The final cache was pretty much in the open. Seth and Eleanor were happy to cap this evening of geocaching (yes, it was getting late) with an easy find. They signed off the last log, tried to re-hide the box as best as they could and headed home.
Six caches, not a bad day for casual geocachers!

Philadelphia defenseman Chris Pronger has become a focal point of the Stanley Cup finals, both for his hard-nosed game and his snarly musings with the media.
The Chicago Tribune took the villain angle to a whole new level in Tuesday's edition when it created a poster of Pronger wearing a skirt with the headline, "Chrissy Pronger" above a sub-headline that read, "Looks Like Tarzan, Skates Like Jane."
The Tribune sports editor defended the poster saying it was done in fun, although one prominent female hockey player didn't agree.
No surprise that Pronger, a former Ducks defenseman, didn't comment on the poster when talking to reporters.

On community.lifehack.org: presentation tips from a science fair competitor. Makes me wish I'd gotten into the science fair circuit!
I've given many presentations on topics like wearable computing,
embedded computing, Linux in education, and personal information
management. I used to think, "Oh no, they want me to talk about
wearable computing again?!" Then I realized that the more I talked
about something, the more comfortable I became with the topic, and the
more I could connect with a large audience. I started telling stories
and showing comics, and presenting became tons of fun.
I think I should hook up with a few other Toastmasters clubs so that I
can give the same speech to many different audiences. It's good
practice for me, and a whole lot of fun.
I saw a poster for the ACM programming tryouts. I'm really rusty, but
it would be good for me to find other geeks and learn from them. =)
Besides, I'm curious about their training. Will I qualify, though? I'm
not sure if my one class in an MAEd counts. I need less than 5 years
of post-secondary studies. Ack, ack, ack.
It'll be fun to go anyway. =)

Report a Problem With A Review
of Three Needs Taproom - Burlington, VT
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Three Needs Taproom, which says:
"This "bar" is so terrible I wouldn't send my worst enemy to it. If I had the choice between dying and spending an hour at three needs, I'd rather die. It really is that bad. The building itself is scummy. The room is small, the bartenders are slow and greedy, and the beer tastes like cat piss. I highly doubt that these people even try, it's a wonder that they even stay in business. Hopefully they will stop ruining Burlington soon, but for some reason people still go there. If you really want to spend upwards of five bucks for a pint of shitty beer (assuming you don't get denied entry for absolutely no reason), then be my guest, attend this shithole. However, if you actually want hospitality, a welcoming environment, and acceptable tasting beverages, I suggest you skip this place."

Girl, Animals Rescued From Filthy Home
DAYTON -- A 10-year-old girl was removed Monday from a filthy home on Sandhurst Drive, after police found the child living in deplorable conditions.
Dozens of animals were also taken from the home and are now at the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center.
Director Mark Kumpf said 16 dogs were rescued, along with two Siamese cats, three hamsters, two chinchillas and two parrots.
"There was not a clean surface in the house. The animals had free reign, over the entire property. It was clear they visited every space and left their mark," Kumpf said.
The little girl living in the home was removed by Child Protective Services.
According to police, the girl did not have a bed and shared a room with several animals.
According to Kumpf, the floors were covered in urine and feces.
"We were slipping and sliding on the floor, trying to remove the animals," he said.
A woman who lives across the street is upset the child had to live in filth.
"The smell was so bad. You could smell it from the street. It saddens me that she had to live like that," she said.
The man who lives in the home has custody of the 10 year old and may be facing child endangering charges.
The owner is asking for his chinchillas, birds and two of his puppies back.
A judge will decide later if he gets to keep some of his animals.
The 20 other dogs, cats and hamsters are all up for adoption at the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center.

Edinboro University Innovative Nursing Program Fall 2013 - page 2
Hello all! Any applicants out there for Edinboro's Innovative Nursing Program??? I know I cant be the only one :)!... Read More
- 0Jan 19, '13 by ashleychillWell I'm living with my BF in an apartment at Golfview Manor in Meadville (1 bedroom with heat, water, garbage/sewer included). It is $525. I know the drive is about 20-30 minutes max with traffic prob but the rent is so cheap that it is definitely worth it. I don't know about the places by the campus. Are you going to live off campus?

i also just got accepted to Edinboro for fall 2013 second degree nursing program and very excited...i know its going to be challengin but motivated to finish with hard work and determination...would like to know if there is anyone else out there who has been excepted and is more focus and motivated as me ...becos i will like a room mate since the on campus housing is expensive...am not familiar with the area ...i live near the Philadelphia area but will definitely like to link up with anyone entering the program for this fall..thanks
- 0Mar 16, '13 by PA_RN87, BSN, RNI'm a 2012 graduate of the innovative program. There is plenty of housing in the Edinboro / Erie area. Most of your clinical rotations will be in Erie, so make sure you look for apartments in Erie. You'll only have 1 rotation through Meadville, which lasts about 4 weeks. A few of our group lived in the College Park housing, which is essentially on campus. The nice part about that is for those of you who aren't planning on staying in the area to work, you don't have to commit to a lease for more than 1 semester at a time. They didn't complain about the area being too loud, so it's definitely a possibility. Here's the link to their housing: James Properties . I think a few of our group also rented through Therasse rentals (THERASSE RENTALS | Edinboro PA | 814) 734-7464 Rentals for families and students). Both of those are in Edinboro. Those who lived in Erie were from Erie, so I'm not sure about any options in Erie, but there are plenty worth exploring since Gannon University is part of Erie's population.
- 0Mar 17, '13 by PA_RN87, BSN, RNI won't say too much publicly. Did you get accepted into other programs, or is Edinboro your only choice? Edinboro was my only choice because it was the only program for which I satisfied all the pre-reqs, and it was the cheapest. I can't compare the nursing department to other nursing programs since my previous degree was in something else, but I can compare Edinboro to the 2 other universities that I attended, with 1 being another PA state university and the other a private college. If you're accepted into other programs, put serious consideration into them first. As far as I'm concerned, Edinboro only served as a medium through which I obtained my BSN degree. If you're just looking for the cheapest and fastest route to your BSN, then Edinboro is the best choice. But if you put a heavy emphasis on quality, effective communication, and limited headaches from administration, look at another university. Edinboro as a whole (not just the nursing department), needs to get their act together and learn how to function as an institution of higher learning. Based on how the nursing department functions, you'd never guess nursing is a profession that values and depends on effective communication.
I guess the major message is what are you looking for, and have you been accepted into other accelerated programs? I graduated with my BSN, passed my NCLEX (with lots of help from a review prep course), and got a hospital job. They're the cheapest, and the shortest program (3 semesters). If that's all you're looking for, they're the best choice. If you're looking for something more, consider other programs first.
- 0Mar 30, '13 by PA_RN87, BSN, RNFYI there is a group on facebook you might be interested in, if you're on FB. It's called "Edinboro Innovative Nursing: Alumni, Current, and Future Students."

What does the term "IP address" mean?
To understand the idea of what an IP address means, you need to understand the idea of the Internet. Actually, the Internet is a worldwide network of computers that are not connected to each other. These computers can connect if they agree to certain rules or protocols that are already defined.
Another important term is the (IP) Internet Protocol address. It basically refers to a number given to each computer that is using the web. This number is always unique. It is called an address, because it has the purpose similar to identifying our houses. It allows each device using the Internet to be easily located using a numerical scheme.
Most users learn about this term choosing an ISP (Internet Service Provider). The ISP may provide either static or dynamic IP addresses to different users. Dynamic IPs change with a change in internet secession, while static IPs always remain as they were assigned. Each ISP has a certain range of addresses.
Each computer gets an assigned dynamic IP address when a user enters a login. The connection may be disabled or deliberately end. When a user logs on again, another address is provided.
The addresses to certain computers at some point can be traced by contacting the ISP that will provide the log records. This is useful most of the time if a computer was used to perform certain actions illegally. The police in this case must have access to the address, name, and any other information related to the customer who was assigned that particular address.
Sites usually monitor visitors through the addresses they use. Identities can be linked to addresses during the registration process and when cookies are used. A cookie is able to tell who is using a computer, even when IP addresses are changed. One drawback is that the user may provide false information when registering. This can slow the process of monitoring.

SpiraPlan® provides a complete Agile Project Management System in one package, that can
manages your project's requirements, releases, iterations, tasks and issues
in one environment, fully synchronized
Below are some of the most popular features in SpiraPlan. Click on the appropriate feature name
to learn more about the functionality that SpiraPlan offers:
> Download
the SpiraPlan overview presentation
Review the complete feature list that shows you why SpiraPlan is your best choice for agile project management.
This section explains what task management is, what features you should look for in a task management tool and explains why SpiraPlan is the best choice for task management.
SpiraPlan lets you easily manage your requirements and user stories in an integrated requirements matrix. These requirements can be validated with the end customer and then elaborated into more detailed tasks that can be used as the basis for development.
SpiraPlan provides the ability to manage the list of releases / versions of the software being developed. Each of the releases can be broken down into smaller units of work called Iterations or Sprints. SpiraPlan includes integrated resource estimation capabilities so that you can plan out the team size needed for each iteration.
Once you have defined the project backlog of requested features (requirements), SpiraPlan lets you plan the work to be accomplished in each Iteration/Sprint. You can include requirements, tasks and defects - allowing you to determine the schedule impact of addressing critical issues as well as pre-planned features.
Once the project is underway, the combined business and technical team work together to develop the sprint plan for the iterations, breaking up the features into discrete tasks and assigning the tasks to the individual team members. During development as the team work to complete the various tasks and stories, the system will track changes in the actual effort to determine if the plan needs to be rebalanced to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery.
SpiraPlan lets you schedule the team members and load balance the task resourcing allocations. As team members work on their assigned tasks they can update their progress in terms of actual and remaining effort. This provides project managers with real-time visibility on the progress of the iteration and early indications of schedule overrun.
Looking for a better way to track bugs and issues? SpiraPlan offers a complete bug tracking solution that is fully integrated with your planning system. Bug tracking features include support for customizable workflows and fields, flexible reporting, configurable email notifications, and fully editable statuses, priorities, severities and bug types.
Wish you could see the health of your project on one page? Each project has a dashboard home-page that summarizes all of the information regarding the project into a comprehensive, easily digestible form that provides a "one-stop-shop" for people interested in understanding the overall status of the project at a glance. It contains summary-level information for all types of artifact (requirements, test cases, incidents, etc.) that you can use to drill-down into the appropriate section of the application.
SpiraPlan includes an integrated web-based document management system that allows project members to upload documents in a secure, centralized location, with support for folder organization, documentation taxonomies and meta-tagging as well as built-in version control. Unlike a standalone tool, these documents can then be connected to SpiraPlan artifacts (requirements, tasks, incidents) to provide the complete picture to users.
SpiraPlan includes support for integrating Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools with the system so that you can browse the source repositories within SpiraPlan. In addition you can link commits/check-ins in the SCM tool to artifacts in SpiraPlan to provide code-level traceability of changes. This functionality will allow the system to track the code changes that are associated with Requirements (stories) that have been implemented, Tasks that have been completed or Incidents (defects) that have been fixed. This gives unparalleled traceability across the development lifecycle.
SpiraPlan includes a robust task management system that lets users define tasks, categorize into types, organize by folder, assign to team members, and track the progress until completion.
SpiraPlan provides the ability to integrate with continuous integration build servers such as Hudson and CruiseControl so that the status of builds can be recorded in SpiraPlan and linked to source code revisions and incidents. This provides traceability for each build, so that you can see what was changed in each build, what was tested and what was fixed.
SpiraPlan comes with a build-in integrated instant messaging capability. This lets users see which users are currently logged-into the system, maintain a list of contacts and where available, send short instant messages to other users. Any messages exchanged can then be posted to relevant artifacts in the system as permanent comments.
SpiraPlan includes an extensive library of printable reports and graphical charts. The reports can be customized through extensible XML based report templates. The supported report formats include: MS-Word, MS-Excel, HTML, Adobe Acrobat and MS-Project.
SpiraPlan has powerful email integration capabilities that ensure that all users are notified about changes in the system, and allows users to raise incidents and post comments directly from their email system.
Customization and configuration are critical for ensuring that a system integrates seamlessly your business processes. SpiraPlan can be configured and customized without any coding or scripting. You can create custom properties throughout the system, customize all the incident fields (status, priority, severity, etc.), create customized email templates, and configure custom workflows for managing your lifecycle.
SpiraPlan has an extensive administration capability that can be accessed using just a web-browser. To reduce the burden on IT staff, you can delegate project administration to different users, allowing project managers to be self-sufficient.
Developers responsible for developing the software code typically need to work in powerful IDEs that are appropriate to the type of the software being developed. Therefore to maximize efficiency and improve productivity, developers can now access their SpiraPlan information directly within their existing IDE. For Visual Studio, there is an Add-In that snaps into the existing Solution Explorer, adding a project explorer that displays the assigned requirements, tasks and incidents. You can open up any of the artifacts in the main viewing pane and act on them accordingly. For Eclipse users, we have used the Mylyn task-focused interface to deliver SpiraPlan information directly into the Mylyn task repository so that using SpiraTeam is as familiar as any other part of the Eclipse environment.

18 May 2011
On May 7, 2011 over 230 guests filled St. Patrick's Seminary & University for the 2ND Annual Vietnamese Fundraising Dinner. The night started with a magnificent concert in the Main Chapel, with Father Paul Maillet, S.S. performing works of Schumann, Brahms, Chopin and others at the piano followed by the Seminary Schola Cantorum who performed two pieces composed by Sir John Rutter (Lord Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace, and Lux Aeterna from the Requiem Mass in honor of Vietnamese supporter Peter Van Dinh Le). Pictured here is Seminarian and artist Peter Nguyen who donated several of his paintings including this one titled Madona and Child.
After guests enjoyed the magical recital in the Chapel they were lead to the main dining hall where an 8 course meal, music, and an auction awaited them. It was a truly wonderful evening that raised substantial and much needed funds to assist in the formation of priests. "Seminarians Today, Priests Tomorrow"

Euro Fell to an 11 Month Low As Investor Wait on Italian Debt Auction
The Euro fell to its lowest in 11 months with 1.3070 against the dollar on Tuesday and it remains at risk for more selling if Italy struggles to sell government debt later in the week. With only a few events scheduled in the last week of December 2011, the investors will be focused on the results of the Italian auctions of three and ten year government bonds scheduled for Thursday.
With the rising borrowing costs of Rome that go towards the unsustainable, it has raised speculations that the third largest economy in the Euro Zone may need a bailout. Italy has been able to sell official debt to the market but the demand has not been able to stop the rising yield. The Auction will be a good test of the market as the debts will have longer maturities.
The Euro may also experience selling pressure with the continued threat of downgrades from rating agencies of Euro zone countries which may include France.
The dollar was slightly weaker as it fell to 79.838 against a basket of currencies in thin trading Tuesday. The dollar was flat against the Yen and up against the pound by 0.2%.Euro

RELEASED: April 15, 2010
|Patrick Bloecher
EAU CLAIRE — A University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire senior will spend his summer as an intern with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Georgia.
Patrick Bloecher, an environmental public health major from Elderon, was one of 12 students chosen for a CDC internship from a pool of 672 applicants. He will intern in the CDC's National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Collegiate Leaders in Environmental Health program in Atlanta.
"This program will provide me with the opportunity to work on an environmental health project, interact with federal officials and scientists, and visit important environmental health sites in Atlanta," Bloecher said. "I will attend seminars offered by the CDC during the summer and I'll meet prominent environmental health leaders in the Atlanta area. This is a very competitive internship and I am very honored and proud to have been selected to participate."
Bloecher has received the 2010 Wisconsin Environmental Health Association Robert R. Nelson scholarship and the 2010 Amber Krenz Memorial ENPH Scholarship for study abroad.
"Patrick is an exemplary ENPH student, completing basic science courses and learning how to apply these sciences to protect public health," said Dr. Crispin Pierce, associate professor of environmental public health."He understands the links between resource conservation and human health. He has a keen perception and focused determination to solve environmental health problems. This determination is represented in his leadership on the Student Senate, his collaboration with other ENPH and nursing students in faculty-student research, and his leadership of the Student National Environmental Health Association."
The environmental public health field likely will expand during the coming years as people better understand the connection between the health of the environment and the health of the people living within it, Bloecher said.
"Learning about this connection and being involved in improving our campus and community is something that I find truly rewarding," said Bloecher, who expects to graduate in December. "What I like most about the field of environmental public health is the opportunity it offers to create positive impacts on the world around us. In the field of environmental public health, compassion goes a long way, and I have learned that with persistence and perseverance there are ways to help create an environment that is more conducive to the health of the community it supports. That is an initiative that I am honored to be a part of."
Being an environmental public health major and a Spanish minor has given him a solid educational background to prepare for the internship, said Bloecher, who spent a semester studying in Costa Rica and will study in Spain in the fall.
Pierce said Bloecher is an example of a student who is making the most of the many opportunities UW-Eau Claire offers its students.
"Pat is a campus leader, has earned academic distinction through strong course performance and involvement in research projects, and will have studied in Costa Rica and Spain by graduation," Pierce said. "His selection for this prestigious CDC internship further reflects his commitment to and bright future in environmental public health."
After he earns his undergraduate degree, Bloecher plans to work with a professional health agency to gain experience before continuing his education. Eventually, he wants to continue his studies in the field of applied health science.
"In the future, I want to use my Spanish skills abroad by helping underserved communities gain access to clean drinking water and sanitation practices," Bloecher said. "I want to help advance and promote environmental public health. I feel that we all share a great responsibility to ensure that we leave behind a better world than that which we have acquired."

|Decoding codependence
|Articles | Spiritual
If we are all co-dependents now, what is America's turn-around? *
BY DAVID RICKEY — Marriages, mortgages, and just-missed connections. In the annals of clinical psychology, the term "Co-Dependence" describes a relationship between 2 people where the well-being of one is perceived as dependent on the well-being of the other.
In other words: "I can't be happy unless you are happy." The subconscious subtext: "Your happiness ought to be secondary to my happiness."
America's narrative about itself reflects individualism, autonomy — and what Mel Gibson in the movie, Braveheart — and Ronald Reagan in office called, "freedom."
The young Americans who occupy the Occupy movement say that they are neither politically nor economically free. And psychologists and spiritual teachers say that we are even less so, spiritually-speaking.
In fact, we are among the most codependent people on earth — both collectively and individually.
We can't live without our music, movies, mobile devices, lovers, addictions . . .
And as a group, we sure as hell can't live like this without China — that is, the cheap goods in Walmart and Walgreens, or the daily $2 billion in cash that Chinese entrepreneurs and officials transfer here each day to finance our debts.
Are we individualists, or simply self-interested?
"Individualism" is actually self-gratification: "My happiness is all that matters, and others exist merely to insure and support my well-being."
Look at individuals like Lehman's Dick Fuld and AIG's perfect tiny prick and "W" fundraiser, Hank Greenburg. People who propelled the 2008 financial crisis were primarily focused on their own profit in complete disregard of the effect of their intent on others — or what Greg Mankiw, Harvard professor and W's ex-economic guru dubbed, an externality.
Micro-finance pioneer, on the other hand, Mohammad Yunus created a model called "social business" that commits itself to positive externalities. Yunus argues that successful enterprises aren't driven by generating a profit but by generating a social good or an improvement in psychic well-being. His modest proposal: end poverty globally.
The spiritual analog is that we are not really discreet, separate individuals. We are an organism that participate in a common fabric of being that we call consciousness.
The evolution of Consciousness has created human beings who are capable of self-reflection. This has given rise to an illusion of separateness, when its purpose was to evolve the ability to choose beyond instinctual responses. We now have the task of consciously recognizing our co-dependence on each other and on our environment so that we can make wiser choices that benefit the whole organism.
Michael Douglas says Gordon Gekko was wrong: Greed is not Good
The Karmic feedback we are now experiencing is "merely" the teaching we need to recognize the deeper truth of our co-dependence.
It is now painfully clear that no one's actions are independent of others. Greed, Hoarding, exploitation of the surroundings, including other people, are instinctual needs, governed by "The survival of the fittest".
When anyone seeks to meet only their own instinctual needs the consequence is that others invariably suffer. However the lesson we are being forced to learn is this: "My more spiritual needs can only be met when I focus my concern on the needs of others."
David Rickey is an Episcopal priest and psychotherapist. His columns share real-life advice about relationships, personal purpose, and a deep-reading of prophets and contemporary seers. Follow David on Twitter.
* Editor's note: We owe attribution to former U.S. president Richard Nixon (January, 1969 -- August, 1974) for the phrase in the headline. In 1971 he confessed, "I am now a Keynesian," after his administration abandoned the gold standard. Variations of Nixon's quote are cited today by conservatives like 2012 presidential candidate Ron Paul as an example of how Republicans have compromised economic policy and principles.
