ABSTRACT: The Newtonian gravitational constant (G) is one of the fundamental physical constants. This paper introduces a method to determine the Newtonian gravitational constant based on the principle of free fall, through measuring the change of gravity from the disturbed mass with an FG5/112 absolute gravimeter. This method has good repeatability. The measurement precision can be improved by error control and a large number of experiments. The constant G is obtained by two experiments, and the measured value is (6.6665±0.0554)×10−11 m3/(kg·s2).Chinese Science Bulletin 02/2009; 54(6):1019-1025. · 1.37 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Progress is reported on an experiment to measure the Newtonian constant of gravitation G with a suspended Fabry-Perot laser interferometer. With this technique, we measure the deflection of simple pendulums due to the gravitational attraction of tungsten masses. A result for G is expected with a relative uncertainty of 3×10<sup>-5</sup>IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement 05/2001; · 1.71 Impact Factor

If there's any ads that are disruptive, deceptive or not working correctly, please contact email@example.com with a screenshot so it can be looked into and fixed.
He's talking about advertisements with sound, not necessarily corrupted/unqualifying ads. You can't fix something that ain't broken.
I personally have no problem with the ads (since they're only like five seconds long before I can skip them), but you could always download AdBlock+.
If that's the case, then it's tough cookies.
All ads should be either skippable or mutable, though, so it still shouldn't be an issue.
It would be an awesome idea if there was a special New Years deal for 2013 that kong+ can be 25$ a year instead of 30$ for a limited time.
You get 50 kreds, so it kinda sorta is. ;)
I think there should be signatures!
We should have a pokemon chat room! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE.

No, it has been suggested many times and admins can't edit them and people will be able to put very rude things in it buffing the age requirement up.
My suggestion is for Kong staff to actually read this thread :P
Also for the ability to report shouts instead of PMing a mod
Someone has tried on another website and it became very glitchy. Also Admins often check this thread its just that they don't reply to this thread.

On top of that, sigs are the worst thing ever anyway. They are a waste of space. They have nothing to do with the posts you make. If you want to write something that defines you, write it in your profile.
Originally posted by ExemplaryReturns:My suggestion is for Kong staff to actually read this thread :P
They do.
I suggest, other than most viewed and most rated category, there should be a "most hours/time invested"
But how would they work it out? Would it be for all hours from everyone or just all hours from you?
Don't know if it's been suggested, but I'd love a way to move the chat into a different window (a popup), so you can easily toogle between game and chat while enjoying the cinematic mode.
Can there be a room info option for game rooms too, please? I know that game rooms can't be owned, technically, but it's still very useful. Currently there's no way to access a list of game room chat mods without specifically knowing who is already. It'd be neat too if the chat mod could create and edit the room descriptions (either universally or each room manually). It could be used as a mini FAQ or something, to address game-specific issues.
My suggestion is that the mobile kongregate actually gets some attention and receives more badges. And that the nook app is actually updated to the latest version of the mobile app.
They're not badging mobile games anymore. I think that stopped around May.
They just disabled the ability to upload mobile games, too. It hasn't been officially said, but I'm pretty sure that Kongregate is pulling out of mobile entirely.
I'm pretty sure somebody already suggested this, but the profile page's feed and everything else should be slightly transparent for K+ users so that the profile skin is more visible.

Leyton Orient have taken Leicester midfielder Nicky Adams to Brisbane Road on a month's loan.
The 23-year-old has had his chances limited at the Walkers Stadium since his switch from Bury in July 2008.
Having made just three starts and seven substitute appearances for the Foxes this term, the Os will now benefit from his services until 13th February.
Adams becomes manager Geraint Williams' second signing of the week after Jonathan Tehoue signed a contract with the club for the remainder of the season.

Eurotech: The Board Of Directors Approves the Consolidated Interim Management Statement at 31 March 2014. Roberto Siagri Confirmed as Group CEO
As a result of the sale of the US subsidiary Parvus Corp. that took place on 1 October 2013, the economic results at 31 March 2013 were classified in compliance with the provisions of IFRS5 in the item "Net profit/(loss) of operating activities discontinued and held for sale".
In the aftermath of this sale, all operations falling within the new basis of consolidation of the Eurotech Group as of 1 October 2013 will be considered "continuing operations".
Amaro (Italy), 14 May 2014
- Consolidated revenues: from €11.33 million to €14.21 million
- Consolidated gross margin: from €6.00 million to €7.37 million
- Consolidated EBITDA: from €-1.64 million to €-749 thousand
- Consolidated EBIT: from €-3.19 million to €-2.03 million
- Consolidated pre-tax loss: from €-2.30 million to €-2.06 million
- Group net result: from €-1.73 million to €-2.40 million
- Net financial position: net cash of €8.83 million
- Group equity: €106.01 million
Today the Board of Directors of Eurotech S.p.A. examined and approved the results of the first quarter of 2014.
The quarter just ended was characterised by two main elements: increased turnover compared to last year and a number of investments in the various company areas that increased operating costs in absolute value. Owing to the increased turnover, its percentage of operating costs still remains below what was recorded in previous years. Along with developing business, controlling costs is still one of the major goals in order to be able to get a breakeven result as soon as possible.
The aim of the investments being made on the structure and on personnel is to strengthen the Group's ability to present the new offer of M2M platforms, security and surveillance solutions, and green HPC on the market. The aim of these investments is to generate visible results in the form of new orders during the upcoming quarters.
Group revenues in the first three months of the year were €14.21 million compared to €11.33 million in the first quarter of 2013. Turnover was affected by the increase in revenues coming from American customers and above all Japanese customers, which last year had not developed the expected volumes, thus making the quarter weak. The trend of the first quarter historically is not very meaningful since it is the weakest of the year, nonetheless management considers the dual-digit percentage growth as a good start.
In analysing the situation of the single geographic areas, a 6.0% increase is noted in North America, due to the prospects that are being fulfilled in that area where orders should generate higher revenues particularly in the second half of the year. Above all in this area the policy of developing sales to larger key customers with significant orders is essential for medium/long term growth in sales, but in the short term led to an unequal distribution of sales over the course of the quarters.
The European business area reported an increase from €4.09 million of 1Q 2013 to €4.74 million of the 1Q2014 (+15.8%). This increase is mainly due to the conversion of new orders of last year in the British area into revenues.
The Asian business area, and in particular the Japanese market, showed a significant increase of 49.3%. This increase would be even greater if calculated at constant exchange rates (1Q2014 recorded a 15.6% depreciation of the Yen-Euro exchange rate compared to 1Q2013) and takes the level of revenues back to the best historical levels after a momentary drop in sales to a key local customer in the first quarter of 2013 led to sales being postponed to subsequent quarters.
One definitely positive indicator for the quarter is gross margin. It stayed at target levels set by management even without the contribution of Parvus, which historically contributed significantly to the group's margin. This element provides a positive outlook on performance in 2014.
The gross margin of 1Q14 was €7.37 million or 51.9% as a percentage of revenues (compared to 52.9% as a percentage of revenues in 1Q13 and 49.6% at the end of 2013).
As we have noted on other occasions, also this quarter the periodic change in the gross margin was due to the different mix of products sold and the different contribution to sales of the geographic areas in which Eurotech operates. In general these changes are less evident when seen on a yearly basis, where margins have continued to be maintained at 50%, a level which management continues to identify as a benchmark.
An analysis of operating costs shows that the first portion of investments the Group has scheduled for the year in progress has been set in motion. In the quarter in question operating costs gross of adjustments increased by €219 thousand from € 8.21 million in 1Q13 to €8.43 million in 1Q14.
Planned investments will go toward strengthening of the marketing and sales structure and continuous support to the research and development activities of the strategic areas.
In the first quarter, EBITDA amounted to €-749 thousand compared to €-1,643 thousand of 2013.
EBIT in 1Q14 was €-2.03 million: the loss reduction of €1.16 million by comparison with the 2013 quarter reflects the higher revenues generated, which more than offset the slight increase in operating costs. This performance is tied to the EBITDA result. It was also affected by depreciation and amortisation in the income statement in the first quarter of 2014, arising both from operating assets that became subject to depreciation at 31 March 2014 and from PPA effects relating to the acquisitions of Dynatem Inc. and Advanet Inc. The effect on EBIT of the higher values attributed as a result of PPA was €0.59 million in Q1 2014, compared with €0.83 million in Q1 2013.
In the quarter in question the pre-tax loss was €2.06 million (1Q13 had a loss of €2.30). It was affected not only by the observations regarding EBIT made above, but also by a more negative performance of net financial result owing to the different performance of exchange rates. PPA effects on the pre-tax result amounted to €0.59 million in Q1 2014, compared with €0.83 million in Q1 2013.
The Group net result was €-2.40 million for the quarter (€-1.73 million in 1Q2013) and it reflects the dynamics of the pre-tax result just described.
The Group shows a net cash position of €8.83 million at 31 March 2014.
Appointment of the CEO and the Vice Chairman and resolutions relating to corporate governance
The Board of Directors today has appointed Chairman, Roberto Siagri, Chief Executive Officer and Giampietro Tecchiolli Vice Chairman granting them due powers.
In addition the Directors adopted resolutions on corporate governance.
In particular, the Board noted the declarations by Giulio Antonello, Paola Bonomo, Riccardo Costacurta and Chiara Mio and taking into account the information at its disposal, established the requisites of independence pursuant to art. 148 paragraph 3, of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, as referred to in art. 147-ter, paragraph 4 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 and art. 3 of the Corporate Governance Code promoted by Borsa Italiana S.p.A..
The Board also took note of the statements made by Statutory Auditors Claudio Siciliotti, Michela Cignolini and Giuseppe Pingaro and, taking into account the information at its disposal, found, to the extent possible, Statutory Auditors to be in possession of the requirements of independence established in art. 148 paragraph 3, of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 and art 3 of Borsa Italiana S.p.A.'s code of Conduct. In this regard, it is noted that the Board of Directors, with reference to Claudio Siciliotti, Chairman of Statutory Auditors, determined the non-application of criteria 3.C.1 point e) of the Code of Conduct. Namely, the criterion states that a person cannot be considered independent if they have held office within the company for 9 of the last 12 years – considering the company's interest to employ the professionalism of said individual giving preference, therefore, to the substantial value of the curricula in choosing the members of this control body, whose composition is in any case subject to verification of competence of the Statutory Auditors Board itself.
The Control and Risks Committee, with Chiara Mio (acting as Chairman), Paola Bonomo and Riccardo Costacurta, the Remuneration Committee with Chiara Mio (acting as Chairman), Paola Bonomo and Riccardo Costacurta and the Appointments Committee with Roberto Siagri, Paola Bonomo and Chiara Mio were all established within the Board of Directors.
Chiara Mio, independent director, was elected "Lead independent director".
Last, the Board appointed the Committee for Related Party Transactions, with Riccardo Costacurta (acting as Chairman), Chiara Mio and Giulio Antonello as its members.
Mr. Sandro Barazza was confirmed as Financial Reporting Manager, responsible for the preparation of corporate accounting documents.
It is reported that in compliance with instructions of the Commissione Nazionale per le Societŕ e la Borsa (CONSOB), the Consolidated Interim Management Statement at 31 March 2014 is available to anyone who requests it at the registered offices. The Report is also available online at Eurotech's website www.eurotech.com
Pursuant to Article 154 bis, paragraph 2 of the Consolidated Finance Act (TUF), the Financial Reporting Manager of Eurotech S.p.A., Sandro Barazza, states that the accounting information contained herein corresponds to the accounting entries of the company.
This document has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Italy. The original Italian document should be considered the authoritative version.

Location & awesome breakfast/brunch buffet.
no bad experience to report.
Excellent location just across the road from the main beach.
Noisy and surrounded by highrises plus you're in one....but this is Waikiki! Good to get out and see other parts of the island where there are beautiful quieter beaches.
Convenient location. Pleasant breakfast with great scenery...the oceanarium
Arrived late..about 11.30...valet gone for the day. Had a connecting room with very noisy neighbors late into the early morning hours. All we wanted was a good nights sleep as we had been travelling all day.
Location was the best
Way over priced, found it to be just an ordinary hotel. All the added taxes made the stay so not worth it.
Location is great but they did not take care of our request. Plus they charge 20 per room a day only for amenites, really expensive BcZ they htl is a bit old
The hotel was steps from the beach, we walked to diamond head, and the zoo from here... Rooms were dated but still kept in good condition, staff was friendly and beds were super comfortable, if the price is right don't pass this up.
Parking is super expensive but it's the same everywhere
The wifi was good. The room had a balcony.
Overpriced. Definately not 4 stars. Terrible value for money and the concierge ripped us off. All in all not the best stay, would stay at the Hilton next time as it's around the same price but a lot nicer. This place hasn't been updated since the 1950's
Already said this in previous comment.
Not a bad experience, but I would say that the rooms need updating. Bathroom especially seemed somewhat dated and lacked that fresh, modern appeal you expect when paying this much for a room.
This hotel looks older--for this part I rate it 2.5 out of 5 stars; but it has the best location and our room has the most beautiful full ocean view and the price is relatively much cheaper in comparison to other hotels on Waikiki beach--for this part I rate it 10 out of 5 stars! If I ever come back again, I will stay in Pacific Beach Hotel again for sure.
I did not understand the "resort surcharge". This hotel is not a resort.Breakfast is average, staff are not very helpful.
The location in Waikiki, the happy and friendly staff, the Oceanarium restaurant and the comfort of the beds!
Nothing to dislike
Staff at front desk Overcharge for short stay Room handling
On the upside, our ocean front view was what was promised and the restaurant which provided room service was beyond my expectations. Their food was wonderful and service for the food was amazing.
I was charged the moment I arrived rather than when I left. When I was at the front desk checking in, I was told they would only charge me half, then the rest would be charged when I left. They charged me for the full six nights at the beginning then charged the security at the end. I was then told that it may take several days or weeks for the security charge to be refunded or hold lifted. I was charged more than the price I was originally quoted. (By $500) They've since continued to take out money without apprising me or getting further consent which has become a nightmare because I had given them the card to my checking rather than using an amex which I would normally use. I wanted to pay cash for the vacation. Now, I've had to call my bank several times. I spoke with them several times at the hotel and was never given a full explanation as to how they came up with numbers for services that were higher than what I agreed to. I've been given no help other than that's the way it is. I was charged occupancy tax, Hawaii State Tax, Amenity Fees, Amenity Hawaii State Tax. Needless to say, it's been a chore. Also, we signed up for several excursions while we were there. I have red hair and was badly sunburned and therefore couldn't go out for the last excursion. I was again told they could do nothing for me. I was asked how long I had the burn. It had only showed up the night before so, we were unable to get out of the excursion. Therefore, we paid $200 for something I could no longer do. We were offered no discounted amount. They kept the full amount without apologies. I was told if I had let them know about the burn earlier, they maybe could have assisted me on getting a refund. I told them as soon as I was aware. Then, there was the leaking on my head while I was getting ready at the vanity. I didn't bother to complain about that as we had already received zero assistance with complaints.
The room service provided was efficient, and timely.
Room was old and tired, oceanview was partial. Could be some chairs in the lobby.
The room, right size, clean, well equipped bathroom, beautiful oceanview from the 12 th floor. You cross the street , there is the beach. Close to everything, shopping, restaurants, if you are in a budget, a nice Mc Donalds with tables outside across the street .Multiple choices to go eat . A nice ice cream place next to the hotel cafe with tables outside.
We bought a Luau dinner show fir over $200, the show was very nice but I regret I didnt go to Germaines, on a private beach , see the sunset , and on living social you could get it for $45 each. ( reg price $90)
Friendly staff is what stood out
The location was a little out of the way
First time staying at this hotel, everything went well. Check in with ease, Front desk girl was very pleasant and helpful, Room was very comfortable and spacious. View was amazing of the ocean and mountain, with out Ocean View Room. Wish that this was our first choice of hotels while staying on Oahu during this trip.
The only thing that I could say that didn't go well, was that for the amount of rooms in our tower, it needs a little more elevators, had to wait a while for the elevators to get to the floors.
We really enjoyed our stay we wish it didn't end to soon, but until next time we thanks the staff.
The elevators took to long is like a 15 to 20 minutes wait.
The location was great. Right near everything.
The rooms were old need updated for price. Furniture and pictures over 25 years old. Air conditioner really old not the best. Looked like stepped back into 70s.
Substantial extra costs for resort fees that come without any value to us and parking (we finally decided to walk 15 min to a free public parking location.) on top of the room rates, those fees are just irritating. Spoiled our impression of the stay that was otherwise really great!
Across the street from the beach. Central location. Aquarium inside the hotel. Had all amenities that I desired.
The hot-tub closed too early...should have stayed open later. One of the front desk reps was not knowledgable but all other front desk/staff members were extremely knowledgeable and helpful!

Rated 5 / 5 stars
the animation it's stiffy, and you need to work more on the script, you have the talent to increase the draw, but.... seriously, if I were the one-eyed guy I think I would have do something while they were talking.... in that way it won't be too.... anime.....
But in animes the villians allways wait like pricks while the goods ones having a 200 hours chat!
sucks but its true :C
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Wow. Pretty good.
The Dialogue seemed pretty much like an actual anime, the animation was good, but graphically it could have been better.
It was a bit short, but it made it worthwhile.
It was very obvious to tell what the characters' relationships were, even though there was little character development.
I liked it :3
why thank you. but yeah i realized now it wasnt really that great..but still worth watching ^^. but i guess since most from now pepole who might enter this were probably watching redminus and ZONE-SAMA videos wich of course makes my video here looks like a piece of trash. what is actuarly happening right now. just look at those low scored comments

With just 10 days until the release of her new single "Roar," Katy Perry is back.
Perry released a teaser for "Roar," which will debut on Tuesday, August 12, according to Vulture. Though there's no audio from the single in the video, Katy sets fire to her iconic blue wig, proving that she's going to do things a little differently this time.
Her last two singles, "Wide Awake" and "Part of Me," from the deluxe edition of her multiplatinum "Teenage Dream," already showed off the emotional side of the pop sensation.
Katy's new album "Prism" is due out on October 22, and she has been promoting the record with a metallic gold semi-truck with the album title emblazoned on the side:

Mark's targets yummy mummy market
Mark's Work Wearhouse is being rebranded in Ontario as Mark's, to draw women into stores better known for industrial boots and work shirts.
Comments | ? |

Share via Email
Mark's Work Wearhouse, a western retailer that built its reputation selling workboots and flannel shirts to men in the Alberta oilfields, is flirting with fashion.
The chain is undergoing a rebrand, being kicked off in Toronto on Tuesday by celebrity stylist Brad Goreski, a Port Perry native with his own reality television show, It's a Brad Brad World, on Bravo.
While Goreski personally favours bold sartorial choices – the invitation to the Mark's Toronto launch features him in an orange jacket, pink shirt and yellow shorts – Mark's isn't moving into high fashion, said chief operating officer Harry Taylor.
Mark's still wants to be the go-to retailer for the working man. It also wants their wives and working women to shop Mark's for office-casual and casual wear and yoga gear, and Taylor is betting they will be willing to pay more than discount prices for clothing that is comfortable, durable and stylish.
The move puts Mark's in closer competition with department stores like Sears.
"The fashionistas aren't shopping with us and never will. There's only so far we think we can travel," said Taylor, ruling out cocktail dresses at Mark's.
"We're not trying to overdo it; we're not trying to be something that we can't be."
Goreski has been hired to speak to the evolution of the Mark's brand, which does not include orange jackets and yellow shorts for men. He will be styling three looks put together using pieces from Mark's fall collection.
Calgary locations where the Mark's concept was introduced last year have seen increases in sales of almost seven per cent, with women's wear being the highest driver of that growth.
But to be successful, the idea has to fly in Canada's biggest retail market, the GTA, where 40 stores are being rebranded.
"For us, Toronto is a key, key market. For us this is ground zero," said Taylor.
The goal is to rebrand all 383 locations in Canada within the next two-to-three years.
Customer satisfaction ratings are up in the rebranded stores in Calgary. Traffic is up in every store that has been updated without affecting the bottom line on work wear, according to Taylor.
Retail consultant Maureen Atkinson, of J.C. Williams Group, said expanding the customer base makes sense for Mark's.
"If they're looking for growth, they have to find it somewhere," she said.
She said Mark's doesn't have the same heritage in the east that it does in the west, where it was founded in 1977. It was originally known as Mark's Men's Work Wearhouse. Canadian Tire bought the chain in 2001.
"I think the GTA has never had the same sort of attitude towards Mark's as Calgary would have or Edmonton. People from those markets think of Mark's as being theirs, whereas here, Mark's is just one of many," said Atkinson.
The rebranded Mark's on Eglinton Ave. East near Warden Ave. has been rebranded. It used to be dark and cramped, and merchandise was often strewn around the store by customers trying to find sizes.
The space has been doubled and divided into dead-easy sections – men's casual apparel and women's casual apparel to the right and left, footwear and industrial wear at the back. Yoga pants are stacked like Lululemon. Women's footwear has been doubled in terms of size and the buy.
There's even a caftan for $49.99.
The store aisles are wide and easy to navigate. Wardrobe specialists are available for consultation in every store. The fitting rooms are bigger, with more hooks and mirrors for women who want more space and better lighting than men when they try on clothes, says Christina Cook, associate vice-president of operations for the GTA.
They've even made the women's wear easier to reach.
The new stores feature ramps for testing work boots on roof shingles, cement, wood or rocks and giant freezers, where customers can test out winter wear. The freezers simulate wind chill down to minus 40 degrees.
Discount shoppers may experience sticker shock: The no-iron pants and skirts are $59.99 each. Men's short-sleeve t-shirts are $16.99. But they're guaranteed not to fade or shrink for 50 washes.
Mark's emphasizes performance wear – clothes that can keep wearers warm and dry in cold, wet weather, yoga pants that can withstand 100 washes without fading, shrinking or piling.
Taylor thinks they've got the pricing right, once durability is factored in.
"We're never going to be the low-cost provider of apparel. We want to be good value."

Ever since its premiere four years ago, I've been big fan of "Glee," but even I have to admit that this show has lately taken somewhat of a downward spiral in its once-great writing. The interweaving stories are no longer as richly compelling as they used to be, a lot of the main characters have lost much of the charm and appeal that made them so likable in the first place, and the usual song covers in every episode are simply just hit-or-miss at this point. Even so, I haven't given up hope that this season will be able to turn things around for the better. Of course, the road ahead will be a very bumpy one, especially following the tragic and unexpected death of original star Cory Monteith this past July. But maybe this sad turn of events can actually influence and motivate the writers and cast to step up their game and produce the same humorous and dramatic content that made us fans of the show to begin with. Hopefully, this'll be the season where "Glee" finally goes back to its creative roots. For everyone's sake, let's hope it is.
Welcome back Glee!!
I absolutely love this show. I am interested to see what direction this season will take. It won't be the same without Cory Monteith.
Sad Glee Viewer
I agree with Broken Headphones. The used-to-be good characters have lost their charm, the story lines don't connect at all like they used to and the acting is now very cringe worthy most of the time. I don't really like the new characters….they just seem like fake knockoffs of the originals. Marley completely fails as a female lead character (i think Blaine took that part over), Puck Jr is ok…. And Ryder is like a mix b/w Finn and Sam (who I really don't understand what he brings to the show….he has been stale since day one to me). Kitty is just….dont even get me started. And the first episode was not all that too me tonight. Maybe cause I am not a Beatles fan?? O.o But I am so tired of Klaine its not even funny. Hopefully Glee will get back to its roots and be like they were in season 1. The actually funny scenes, the good dramatic/emotional acting, and songs in which we can actually hear the characters voice and not the computerized version of it

U.S President Barack Obama has put solar and other renewables in the spotlight as part of a plan to reduce the nation's carbon emissions.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.

SEIA Applauds President Obama's Climate Change Initiatives
Reacting to President Obama's major new plan to combat climate change, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), today released the following statement.
SEIA Urges Industry-wide Solutions to China Trade Dispute
WASHINGTON, D.C. – With press reports indicating that the United States, China, and the European Union have held preliminary discussions on a possible agreement to resolve solar trade disputes, Rhone Resch, president & CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), issued the following statement:
Fourth Graders Power Their Classroom with Solar Energy
A group of fourth graders in Durham, North Carolina, are showing America the way to a clean energy future.
After learning all about solar and other energy sources, Aaron Sebens -- a teacher at Central Park School for Children -- and his fourth grade class came up with a bold idea: make their classroom solar-powered.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Capacity Quickly Expands When States Provide the Right Incentives
The American solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has grown tremendously in recent years. In 2012, more than 3,300 MW of solar power were installed throughout the United States, with a record 1,300 MW installed in the last three months of the year alone. Falling costs for hardware and installation have accelerated this trend, but it has mainly been driven by public policies that generously reward those who install solar systems.
Korean industry association, SEIA announce solar partnership
The Korea Photovoltaic Industry Association (KOPIA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) have announced their formal partnership in an effort to strengthen the solar energy industries of both countries and boost the competitiveness of solar energy globally.
Walmart, Costco among top solar-using companies
A number of major US companies are taking energy into their own hands, harnessing solar power to cut costs and improve the bottom line. Iconic brands are now being equated with the power of the sun, and retail giants are leading the trend.
Solyndra Has No Impact on US Public Support for Solar
The media feeding frenzy over government support for now-bankrupt Solyndra has had no apparent impact on public impressions of solar energy or even of government support for solar, says a new poll from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Hart Research.
Who Supports Solar? Latest Survey Defies Political Stereotypes
As the U.S. presidential election approaches, U.S. voters are being bombarded with anti-solar ads, courtesy of super-PACs backed by fossil-fuel industries. Last month at Solar Power International, Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President and CEO Rhone Resch told attendees that 80% of negative campaign ads target clean energy.
Polls: Voters back clean energy, climate policies
On the eve of the first presidential debate, a flurry of new polls suggest most Americans support clean energy and policies to reduce climate change — topics that have garnered scant attention on the campaign trail.

The Messiah Complex .2They were thorough; you could say that much for the bastards.The Messiah Complex .2 in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
Two jeeps drove at the front, two jeeps and a roaring camouflage fourwheeler racing back and forth like the world's loudest fore-scout, despite the four horsemen soldiers and the string of remounts trailing at the rear. They drove slow, at least, thick tires leaving thick tracks in the mud, pools of dirty water in the tread-marks. Worth quickly learned the sensation of boots sinking into inches of what used to be a dirt road, filling the smaller footprints of ragged loafers.
The first night, the night that General Good-Old-Boy rounded them all up and nicked Worth's cigs, the three of them had their wrists snapped into chain gang shackles—luckily enough, not a fatal amount of iron in them, although he predicted correctly that by the second night Conrad's arms were going to be an ugly sight. Something told him that was calculated. Dawn was already breaking over the horizon by the time that they'd stripped the RV of anyth

Warning: epic speeches and exposition, mostly.
The road has a mind of its own.
That's just a bloody stupid way of saying that some things are bound unravel a certain way, no matter how bad you fight it. Some things have to be dealt with sooner or later.
Worth figured that out somewhere along the way. Too many nights of trying not to look up at the stars, trying not to get sucked back into let's-remember, too many times when his heart jumpstarted like an electrocuted engine and he had to pretend that the first thought in his head hadn't been can't lose him too.
The road doesn't like lies.
That's just a bloody stupid way of saying that the truth is gonna out, one way or another, if you spend long enough trying to ignore it. But still.
The road demands to be acknowledged.
It was three o'clock in the morning, and Worth had the window rolled down as they raced through tiny streets, where sprin

Three Years after the Treaty:
It was a soft June night on the New York Stateline, and Worth was working with about half an hour in the worst case scenario before Captain Goodvibes and his loyal undead lieutenant came stomping back in. Worth had woken up that evening to an empty RV, and a note on the kitchen table informing him that Hanna was out getting his marching orders from the council—although how that worked, he wasn't quite sure. Last time he checked, the great omnipotent council of delegation was still in Massachusetts , and they were all the way in New York. But whatever. He was satisfied to know that he had the place to himself for now.
Mostly to himself.
With a shoulder propped against the exit doorway, the doctor observed his ever-so saintly and even-tempered roomie seated on the other side of the tin can they called a home, tucked into the far corner of the booth at the kitchen table. Conrad had a book in his hands. The title

Georgia, eleven months after the treaty:
Worth had his hand in a box of ammunition.
It was a bruised, calloused hand with cracked nails and a scabbed bite mark between the thumb and forefinger. He didn't used to have hands like this, back before he turned into some kind of fucking revolutionary, odd-job man. He thought about that as he rummaged around for a .45 caliber bullet.
He wondered why the bite wasn't infected yet.
It'd been three days, three days since they last saw Hanna, three days since they left the hotel—the base, damn Hanna and his romantic tendencies—for a routine scouting mission. Three days since this clusterfuck exploded like a bombed armory. They'd been running since, outnumbered and out gunned by less than a dozen dipshit locals because it was a fucking scout mission. F

Not quite midnight, at just the brink of autumn. Sliver moon. The air was cool as unsheathed metal, and it curled over Doc Worth's shoulders like the delicate talons of a succubus. This he knew from experience.
And a damn fine succubus she'd been, once you got past the alien eyes and the weird boneless movements.
The doctor blew out a breath of blue smoke, twisting eddies like some nightmare creature feeling its way out of another dimension. He snorted. Clearly, he'd been spending unhealthy amounts of time in Hanna's presence, and if he was smart he'd take this as a sign to invest in a pair of earplugs next town they reached.
"This is incredibly boring," Conrad murmured, arms crossed, leaning back against the stone wall.
"An' whatcha expect me ter do about it?"
They were waiting. They had been waiting for an hour, because the man they were waiting for was mysteriously absent and there was nothing for it except to wait, wait, and hope that their masque

Eleven Months and a bit after the Treaty:
Jail is a bit different when you're sitting inside the cell.
Specifically, jail is a bit different when you're sitting inside the cell, staring at the wall, waiting for a soldier to come by and drop off something vaguely edible so you can try to grill him for information about why exactly you're in jail rather than one half a pair of corpses cooling in a ditch.
Worth turned his attention to the shuffling behind him, the slight sliding sound of hands searching out soft spots in the walls. They'd been in here maybe three hours now, and in that time Conrad had worked his way carefully, stubbornly around the room twice.
Somewhere out there, Hanna was probably already plotting to break them out, pleading with his undead guardian to let him come back while they stowed away, maybe in an abandoned house a little north of town. Maybe he'd already won. Maybe the zombie was holding out. Worth wasn't counting on either option—he'd done what h

A side effect of Hanna's massive, cancerous hero complex was that he liked to drop back in on the places he'd saved from time to time. He also liked to drop in on one or two places he'd failed to save, when he could manage to plot a course through them, probably in the hopes that eventually his accumulated misery would rupture like an overtaxed boil under pressure and annihilate itself. At least, that's what Worth was hoping. At least something useful would come of it.
Today was the lesser of two evils. Worth stepped out of the familiar, air conditioned RV and into an atmosphere that appeared to have its own built-in thermostat manned by sadistic senior citizens. Fucking Florida.
"Why th' fuck did we come to Fucking Florida in the middle'a fucking June?"
Hanna peered out of the door, trying not to look intimidated by the climate. "Does my answer have to have fuck in it?"
"Juss don' get it. Y'were

"Grow some wings, dumbass. C'mon, what kinda spook are you?"
"We don't have a spook infestation, honey, don't worry. It's nothing like that. It's just the Church Universal and Triumphant, creepin' around and stirrin' folks up."

Doc Worth lights himself a cigarette. His fingers are cold, but they don't fumble with the gears. The movement is perfected by more than a decade of practice, and the sweet little snick is the only thing that's right these days. He looks up at the stars—so much brighter tonight, there's got to be more stars in the sky than there were pages in all his college textbooks combined. He can see a stripe of dust across the center of the sky, every goddamn star in the galaxy spiraling off into space. He doesn't like them. They're pretty and they remind him of things he'd rather forget, all different kinds of things at once, ghosts of memories that press in on him from every side and turn the sky into a massive blue and gray blur.

Third Year after the Treaty
It was maybe eleven in the evening in the far western end of Berkshire County, and the night started beautifully. And by beautifully, Conrad meant like complete shit.
It had been fine for the first little while, after Hanna left—apparently something fairly urgent had come up, and the council wanted to amend their orders quickly. Conrad had no idea what it was, but if it was important enough to have one of the Council's telepathically inclined members go poking around in Hanna's dreams then it must be pretty important.
So Hanna had gone, to find somewhere quiet and watery for one of his scrying sessions. And Conrad had settled into the booth in the RV, in the hopes of getting some reading in before the inevitable dash and frenzy drove him utterly mad. Which it would. Because it always did.
The book was something he'd picked up in a library raid not too long ago—the RV was stuffed with their spoils to the point o
