MICHAEL BEN-ARI waits in line for soup DO NOT REUSE.
(photo credit:Arieh Eldad)
THE JERUSALEM ROAST EXCLUSIVE: For the past month, former National Union MK and No. 2 on the failed
Strong Israel Knesset list Michael Ben-Ari has been living in Lewinsky Park in
south Tel Aviv, The Jerusalem Roast has learned.Ben-Ari's downward
spiral began on election night, January 22, when Strong Israel failed to clear
the electoral threshold to make the 19th Knesset, leaving Ben-Ari and fellow
party candidate Arieh Eldad with few options left in the political
world.A plastic surgeon, Eldad should be able to find gainful
employment, but with only an MA in Talmud and a Ph.D in Land of Israel studies
and little relevant nonparliamentary work experience, Ben-Ari could face a
bleaker future. A source close to Ben-Ari said that after election night he
began looking into the possibility of applying for a work visa to the United
States, but then recalled that his last attempt was blocked by the US State
Department because of his membership in the banned Kach party.With few
options left, and with his parliamentary office in Tel Aviv's Hatikvah
neighborhood a shuttered remnant of torchlight marches gone past, Ben-Ari found
himself sleeping on a cardboard mat sandwiched between African asylum seekers at
the Lewinsky Park playground only a few days after election night.One of
those refugees, a 24-year-old Darfur native named Bashir, said he and other
Africans did not know that Ben-Ari was a far-right MK known for being arguably
the most outspoken critic of the African migrant community in
Israel.Bashir said he and others assumed Ben-Ari was an illegal
Palestinian worker hiding out Tel Aviv, mainly because he was always seen
carrying his worldly belongings in a cellophane bag and would converse with them
in Arabic."It's very strange, but most nights he screams in Arabic in
his sleep. I don't know how you say it in Hebrew, but he just shouts out 'no
loyalty, no citizenship' over and over, all night sometimes," Bashir
said.With no income and unable to find work, Ben-Ari has had to rely on
the kindness of strangers, much like the homeless African asylum seekers who
call Lewinsky Park home.He's been seen on a few occasions sitting in on
free English lessons at the Lewinsky Park library and on most nights after
sunset he lines up for soup given out by donors at the park.Yigal
Shalosh, an Israeli who runs one of the soup charities, said the volunteers know
it's Ben-Ari, and that he's really not fooling anyone, and mentioned a
particular occasion earlier in February when he stood in line in blackface,
having smeared mud on his face after a midwinter rainfall in attempt to pass as
African."We just thought it was a kinda silly and racist stunt, kinda
like his political career," Shalosh said.

TRiO Upward Bound
Bloomsburg University
400 E. Second St.
258 Student Services Center
Bloomsburg, PA 17815
570-389-4280 | Fax: 570-389-3025
TRiO Upward Bound provides high school students with opportunities and assistance in exploring their potential for academic, social and personal growth. Its purpose is to provide equal access to post-secondary education for high school students by giving them adequate preparation.
These goals are achieved by providing students with developmental work in areas where they may need help, enrichment where they are strong and exposure to new areas where they have yet to be challenged. Through tutoring for grade improvement, counseling to address career and personal matters, counseling on the college admissions and financial aid processes and training in test-taking skills, students gain the confidence and skills needed to succeed.
TRiO Upward Bound Summer Academy
From team-building exercises with horses to an engaging drug and alcohol panel discussion with local court officials to a children's activities fair with the community, it was another busy and productive summer for Bloomsburg University's TRiO Upward Bound Program. It was also a summer of celebration, marking the 50th anniversary of the federal grant program and its 37th year on campus. Since 1965, Upward Bound has grown from 17 initial programs with 2,061 participants to today featuring 964 funded programs working with more than 80,000 students.
Upward Bound is a national program funded through the Department of Education that more than doubles the chances of first-generation students graduating college. Locally, the BU program serves students from Berwick, Mahony, Milton, Mount Carmel, North Schuylkill, Pottsville, Shamokin and Shikellamy high schools.
The program — with the help of a mentoring and support staff of Bloomsburg University students — provides a wide range of services to prepare its participants to succeed in college. They include weekly tutoring, test preparation, college application and financial aid form assistance, cultural enrichment programs, field trips and a summer academic program.
Among the highlights of the 2014 Summer STEM Academy were:
- a drug and alcohol panel featuring Columbia County Judge Thomas James and other county court officials
- team-building exercises at Willow Creek Farms in Numidia
- a STEM Activities Fair at McBride Memorial Library in Berwick
- a Family Movie fundraiser with the Berwick Theater
- an interactive workshop with The Actor's Company Theatre
- several site visits and campus tours of universities across the region

Tips for Helping Your Student Succeed
College requires a large time investment. The student may not be able to do everything else you are used to them doing at home or play. Don't guilt people out of doing assignments. Be supportive.
Show interest in the work the student is doing. Many students who stop attending do so because they lose sight of the reason they are in school or they are discouraged from continuing by the important people in their lives. Let them know you value what they are doing.
Encourage the student to focus on the goal of graduation or career when they get tired or frustrated. Every student will have a class or a professor they do not like. Encourage them to focus on the larger goal so they can be successful in the class.
What do I do when my student has concerns about college?
Understand the resources available on campus and refer the student to these resources. If the student is to be successful, the student needs to make the connections and do the legwork. You have the ability to guide the student to the people and programs that can help. But the student needs to reach out to these resources:
1. Academic Advising
2. Tutoring Services
3. The Writing Center
4. Career Services
- Sometimes the student just needs a good listener. Be that support. Understand they don't always want you to solve the problem; they just want you to be sympathetic.
What if I am worried my student is not doing well?
- Your source of information is the student. Faculty are not able to discuss with you how the student is doing in class.
- Talk to the student about classes. Ask what they are learning, what assignments they have coming up, ask if they have a paper or project you could read.
When does my student find out how they are doing in class?
- Students who have earned less than 30 credit hours receive mid-term grades around week eight of each semester. This information is available in the student's FlashLine account. Remember mid-term grades are an indication of current achievement and may not reflect what a final grade will be.
- Every time a student takes a test or turns in an assignment, the student receives a grade and can calculate how they are doing by consulting the grading information on their course syllabus.
- Every time a student chooses to miss class or skip an assignment, the student knows they are putting their grade in danger.

Has a fake Hollywood feud finally been put to rest? Basically, since Jimmy Kimmel started his late night hosting duties, he has closed nearly all of his episodes with the words, "Apologies to Matt Damon. We ran out of time." But Thursday night, Damon finally decided not to let Kimmel "run out of time" and literally took over Kimmel's entire show, marking the first Damon appearance on Kimmel as an official guest.
Kicking the show into action, Damon introduced himself and gave the show a new name. "Hey everybody. Welcome to tonight's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Sucks," he said. "I am your host, Matt Damon."
Then Damon let loose on Kimmel, who sat tied up in a chair throughout the whole show. "Just for starters... is it weird to see a person with actual talent host this show?" Damon said. "I'm very excited to be here obviously. Jimmy has bumped me from his show 1,205 times. For 10 years, every night I wait in that green room, and every night, Kimmel says, 'Apologies to Matt Damon. We ran out of time.' I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. This is like when I lost my virginity, except this is going to last way longer than one second."
"You know, every time I got bumped off this show, it left a mark," Damon continued. "But if you bump a man long enough, a night will come when he bumps you back. And tonight is that night, my friends. I am in command of this ship! Tonight, good triumphs over evil. I am Luke Skywalker and Kimmel is the Death Star, big and round and easily destroyed through his garbage hole." Damon had a few more jokes up his sleeve before the show officially got rolling. "Look at Jimmy over there with the gag in his mouth. You've never been funnier, my friend," he said. "Jimmy Kimmel is to late night talk show hosts what Magic Johnson is to late night talk show hosts. Hey Jimmy, did you hear the joke about Lindsay Lohan? Because I have. 1,205 times." Bam!
Along with Damon taking the hosting role, a slew of A-list celebrities appeared on Jimmy Kimmel to help Damon along.
Andy Garcia replaced Kimmel's loyal side-kick, former parking lot security guard Guillermo Diaz. Sheryl Crow also kicked band leader Cleto out of his spot.
Robin Williams finished Damon's monologue.
Damon's best childhood friend, Ben Affleck, stopped by to hold the cue cards.
And Damon had other A-list guests stop by including Amy Adams, Demi Moore, Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Gary Oldman. Even Jennifer Lopez, Sally Field, John Krasinski, Robert De Niro, Don Cheadle, and Oprah Winfrey check in via a video to congratulate Damon on his new role as host.

Now another question for you, what do you prefer, to use a plug-in to view your web videos or having that support directly in your browser as a standard? (The answer is quite simple, I think)
Furthermore, Flash has only acceleration with a "semi-proprietary" video implementation (VDPAU), which only works for a limited group of users (nVidia proprietary driver users).
Personally, what Google wants to do with Chrome is not a very good decision, because it will make some "semi-useless" plugins (Flash) live longer...
p.s.: If you want to know more (and you trust Wikipedia) about the H264 / MPEG-4 Part 10 specification, click here.
Maybe you'll learn some interesting things...
Why don't you brief it for us? Throwing a link with a lot of them words without providing a clue about what your point is doesn't make things very easy.
The rest will be converted in due time. These videos aren't available as HTML5 H.264, either, they require flash anyway.Yes, I use Adobe Flash, not because I like it, but because Youtube still forces me to use it. (most sites I visit don't need flash for other things than displaying ads, which I block with Adblock, OC) Try for instance, play any music video from VEVO or other content provider... Or even simpler, try to play any content from (most) youtube "channels". Are they converted to WebM? I don't think so!
2. All previous patent claims have been invalidated
3. All current patent claims are likely to be invalidated (check wikipedia for the details)
4. W3C helps in investigating and invalidating these patent claims
So, no, the H.264 situation is completely different to JPEG. Read this for more details on W3C's patent policy: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205/
H.264 patents will expire too. Will you in a few years come back here and say "H.264 patents expired" like you just did with JPEG? No, don't think so. JPEG was just as petent encumbered back them as H.264 is now. So clearly "The W3C does not accept web standards that require loyalties" is not true.
And don't forget GIF too...

Fever is a sign of a variety of medical conditions, including infection. Your normal temperature may differ slightly from the average body temperature of 98.6 F (37 C).
For young children and infants — especially newborns — even slightly elevated temperatures may indicate a serious illness. For adults, a fever usually isn't dangerous until it reaches 103 F (39.4 C) or higher.
For adults, don't treat fevers below 102 F (38.9 C) with any medications unless your doctor tells you to. If you have a fever of 102 F (38.9 C) or higher, your doctor may suggest taking an over-the-counter medication, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others).
Adults also may use aspirin, but don't give aspirin to children or teenagers under the age of 19. It may trigger a rare, but potentially fatal, disorder known as Reye's syndrome. Also, don't give ibuprofen to infants younger than 6 months of age.
How to take a temperature
Most thermometers have digital readouts. Some take the temperature quickly from the ear canal and can be especially useful for young children and older adults. Other thermometers can be used rectally, orally or under the arm (axillary).
If you use a digital thermometer, be sure to read the instructions so that you know what the beeps mean and when to read the thermometer. Under normal circumstances, temperatures tend to be highest around 4 to 6 p.m. and lowest around 6 a.m.
Because of the potential for mercury exposure or ingestion, glass mercury thermometers have been phased out and are no longer recommended.
Rectally (for infants)
To take your child's temperature rectally:
Taking a rectal temperature is also an option for older adults when taking an oral temperature is not possible.
A rectal temperature reading is generally 1 degree Fahrenheit (about 0.5 degree Celsius) higher than an oral reading.
To take your temperature orally:
Under the arm (axillary)
Although it's not the most accurate way to take a temperature, you can also use an oral thermometer for an armpit reading:
To take your child's axillary temperature, have the child sit in your lap, facing to the side. Place the thermometer under your child's near arm, which should be against your chest.
An axillary reading is generally 1 degree Fahrenheit (about 0.5 degree Celsius) lower than an oral reading.
When to seek medical help
Get medical help for a fever if:
When to seek emergency help
Call your doctor immediately if your child has a fever after being left in a hot car or if a child or adult has any of these signs or symptoms with a fever:

Hi: 5° Lo:-1°
By Kevin Unitt Friday 21 December 2012 Updated: 04/01 08:36
ARCHAEOLOGISTS from Warwickshire have struck Christmas gold - but no frankincense and myrrh.
The Anglo-Saxon treasure has been unearthed by archaeologists from the county in the same field where the Staffordshire Hoard was found three years ago.
A team from Archaeology Warwickshire - working for Staffordshire County Council and English Heritage - made the discovery when they carried out a field survey following recent ploughing of the land at Hammerwich near Lichfield. The work included a metal detector survey and gridded fieldwalking by local enthusiasts.
Approximately 90 pieces of gold and silver have been recovered, many weighing less than a gram, and the haul includes a helmet cheek piece, a cross-shaped mount and an eagle-shaped mount.
The items are currently being examined and x-rayed at a specialist archives laboratory. Once examined by experts, a coroner's inquest will be held to determine if they are part of the original hoard.
County council heritage chief Coun Colin Hayfield, said: "We are justifiably proud that a team of experts from Warwickshire has made this exciting discovery. The Staffordshire Hoard is world famous and we hope these new finds are a significant part of the jigsaw.
"We are now awaiting the results from the laboratory with interest."
The new items were found in the same field where over 3,900 pieces of gold, silver and some copper alloy objects were found in 2009. The first discovery was made by a metal detectorist, who had permission to scan the land.
Following the discovery English Heritage immediately recognised the exceptional significance of the finds and provided expert advice, support and funding for the research and preservation of the Staffordshire Hoard.
Archaeologists later carried out the excavation of the field and discovered the largest ever find of Anglo Saxon gold and silver metal work from this country.
In total the hoard included over 5kg of gold, 1.5kg of silver and thousands of small garnets.
The pieces appear to date from the seventh century, although there is some debate among experts as to when the hoard first entered the ground.
The hoard was valued at £3.3 million by independent experts at the British Museum – the most valuable treasure discovery ever made.
It was bought by the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.
Part of a helmet was among the pieces found by archaeologists from Warwickshire. (s)

Welcome to the site Ryan
Welcome to the site Ryan
Greetings from PA Dutch Country (The land of Michter's.....). With a collection like that, you must peruse the liquor stores across the river. This state is TERRIBLE when it comes to American whiskey- especially rye!
If you have anything Michter's or Pennco and would like to sell it or share it with me, please let me know.
Welcome Ryan. If you ever get up to the Reading area, stop in and we'll have a pour.
Colonel Joseph B. "Bourbon Joe" Koch
"Bourbon.....It's cheaper than therapy!!"
Thanks for the welcome. I've learned a lot about Michter's from your blog and enjoy it. Agreed on the lack of Rye here. sad, as I think I like it even better than bourbon.
Village Whiskey, Time, Twisted Tail, Lloyd, Stateside, Devil's Den, Trestle Inn, Khyber Pass. The list is a good start, there are many more in and around the city.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.
Bob Marley.
Thanks. Time is a great and less obvious one than many, I need to go back there. Stateside and Village have been my go-to places for good bourbon, though they are getting pricey. Another is Southwark: Kip has a better rye selection than any I've seen.

I'd say it returns the same confidence that God is not listening and not doing what you ask, depending on decision you made before you ever asked the question.
"Live v. Die" as a prayer operates amongst the widest of terms. Contextually, if you allow that God "works in mysterious ways" and/or "has a plan" as part of the parameters of the question (assumed definition of God), then the end result of the "Live v. Die" outcome remains arbitrary. The answer is prescribed by the question -- God will do as God will do.
You asking for the Live-outcome is immaterial to the equation. The fact that you're asking and the answer would appear to be in the affirmative is only added weight to the assumption that God might do as You will ask. The certainty about God, though, has nothing to do with the "evidence." Belief in God carries with it the implication that God's choice about your mortality overrides your own, so the outcome is meaningless in determining certainty. It only has anything to do with the underlying drive to receive affirmation in the first place. So certainty here is a question of state arrived at before one asks the question.
And a question that predicts the answer still isn't really a question at all. It's a certainty.
If we assume that the question "please allow me to live today, and wake up tomorrow so that I may live the next day" is a common concern amongst the entirety of the living population, the actual odds of this coming true or not hold to many other variables, but, the chance of the answer returning in the affirmative -- across the entire population -- probably averages out to 50/50... So, we're back at Chance.
Life itself is then a flux state, with two outcomes at polar extremes, and the entire centre is a grey area. Another superposition, where both outcome remains possible at all times. However, there is a decision that has been made that one state is true, while the other is false. Yet the false outcome still remains as a possibility.
The certainty comes from the underlying decision, not from the evidence that informs the questions.

Confirmation bias always figures into our assessment of things. But you miss my point here. We assume that there are 'laws of nature' that govern our environment, and from them we derive degrees of certainty with regard to daily occurrences. But what are laws of nature really? Things we rely upon? So gravity is God and the egg will crack when it hits the ground. But we might as well call it God's will that makes it crack, and support our determination by the evidence that we pray to God daily and ask him to maintain order and stability in our world. What makes gravity necessary? what makes it real? It's reliability?

No, only the observation and experience of it makes it real. And we know it isn't reliable. The "laws of nature" are actually averages, and cumulative effects of still smaller and smaller forces. What we call the "laws" end up breaking down as we approach the smallest known possible size within our realm of existence (Planck's Length), the maximum temperature/speed (Light), the lowest temperature/speed (zero kelvin).
Couple that with other observed forces in nature, such as Dark Matter/Inflation, and we actually see a repelling force. Anti-gravity, if you will. So now we have two established poles on a continuum, and again the grey area in the middle where the reduction of the thing to its constituent parts reveals the true nature of the thing to be only the average result of still smaller forces.
Gravity isn't necessary. It's certainty is only derived by context -- and again, it's only certain because the question itself provides the possibility for the answer. As with my previous ramble, when you change the context and put the egg on the moon, the answer change. Change context further still to Phobos, and the answer is different again. Put the egg at the universe's Boundary, and its diffeent yet again. The "certainty" is only certain insofar as the context is defined. The question provides the answer.
Or another way of saying it: How we approach the question defines how we understand the answer.
Take this argument as an example. The question is: Can we ever be entirely certain? We've already defined two answers from the question itself. Yes you can/No you can't. Option C (the superposition) allows both to be true, but is paradoxically what we would call "uncertainty" provided we allow the definition of "certainty" to define the answer. If we change the way we ask the question, and define "certainty" as an average value of two extremes on a continuum, rather than a specific Yes/No value, then Option C reveals itself as the true answer. We can be certain of uncertainty.
But it's just nonsense. Word play. It does nothing to address the real, underlying element of the question. What possible need is there to ever be "certain" of anything but uncertainty? I'll take the average and be fine with that.
What do you want us to be certain of?
November 4th, 2008, 02:26 PM #49
What do I want?? Ha. I'm not certain of anything, including who 'I' am when I type this answer.
Does it matter? No. Not in the slightest. We all pretty much manage to get by anyway. But I find what we presume to be so interesting.....

Which I guess is what I'm saying. All certainties -- beyond self-answering questions -- are presumptions. Presumptions are roughly equivalent to stereotyped knowledge. That which generally holds to be "true." There's nothing wrong with presumtpions -- they're simply how we operate. Without generalized, stereotyped knowledge, we couldn't operate. It's just how we function physiologically.
November 6th, 2008, 10:17 AM #51
Fung declaring certainties to be roughly to be presumptions sounds wrong to me. Let me explain
with the the egg example: I looked at the set of outcomes with the presumption that all experiments
are done on earth. With this presumption and the presumption that the egg is not somehow armored
or slowed down I looked at the set of all possible outcomes and decided that the vast majority
of the outcomes where the egg breaks is enough for me to be certain that the egg breaks.
So the first step in reaching certainty is looking at all posiblities and this is very dependent
on which presumptions you take into account.
As you pointed out earlier the process of deciding whether something is certain is the second step
in reaching certainty. If you want to be REALLY certain, then one set off possibilities must be
infinite and the other finite, so the probabilty is exactly 1 for one of the alternatives. For normal
certainty a vast majority of one alternative seems sufficient. But be warned, we are prone to
'cheating' we simply declare sometimes some possibilties to be non existant/do not count as in
the two alternatives god exists/god doesn't exist proves.
By declaring one choice for void you are a theist or an atheist (decision). By altering the presumptions
other religions become possible (first step)

As Wittgenstein said, if you know for certain that's your hand in front of you, then the discussion is over. But for him, that's where it begins....

Falcon -- you're using a sort of statistical model here, right? You're more or less saying that in the egg-drop situation, a standard curve will be produced. A very steep curve, no doubt. The mean of the curve will approach infinity (Chance) at a certain height where break/no break can be said to "uncertain." The statistical derivaton from the mean will likewise be a fairly small value, with the majority of cases falling within one derivation. But the two ends of the curve will not be returns to absolute 0, but will instead be limits, approaching infinity. Over infinite trials, there is always the possibility that for some reason the egg doesn't break no matter how high to drop it from (or that it will break regardless of how low you drop it from).
So, is it accurate to say that a return value of 0.00002 or 0.00098 is sufficient as it is close enough to 0 and 1 to be said to be certain? In other words, are you allowing a statistical margin of error to exist within your definition of "certainty"?
November 6th, 2008, 03:21 PM #55
But how do you even know that it's your hand dropping the egg? Or that what you're seeing is in fact an egg at all? The formula may be consistent in the end, but the elements that precede it may not be.
November 6th, 2008, 03:42 PM #56
how do you know that gravity really exists?
November 6th, 2008, 05:57 PM #57
Not to add to what we know, but more to look at what we don't know. I think this goes for most people, that we need to see something before we believe it, but why? Our eyes can be tricked just as easily as anything else.
On the basis of what do we know, I think it goes back to beliefs. Where do you stand in the universe?
Most of what we know are theories, like the theory of gravity. But this theory has also gotten us into space and to the moon.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is so little we actually do know and that it's more about where you stand.
PhD's are the same as everyone else, they've just studied more about a topic. But they're the same people that keep reversing their opinions about "what is true". Each one disproves the next. People used to think the world was flat and that was common "knowledge". Now we know the world isn't flat right? or do we? Or are we just as naive as everyone else in our history?
I stand by religion because it can be proven in a different way.

Fung: Let's put the egg example away for the moment and play a game! I let you pick a natural number then I
pick randomly a natural number. You win when I pick the same number as you did otherwise I win. Of course
your chances are slim playing only once therefore we play for an arbitrary long period of time. I won't
bother you with a proof, but you always loose. You even loose when I let you pick not just one number but a
really huge number of numbers. You still loose. In this game I am REALLY certain to win, even when nothing
stops me from picking your number, it just won't happen.
The second game that I propose you is that you can pick either even or odd, then I pick a randomly a natural
number. You win if the number is that what you chose. The second game is 'fair' you have a 50% chance to win.
The third game is I let you pick a number samller than 10'000 and then I pick randomly a number also below
10'000. You win if I pick the same number as you did otherwise I win. I have a roughly 99.99% chance to
Actually they are competing models for what happens to an egg in earths gravity: The first two state that
there are infinite possible outcomes, while the third takes only a finite number of outcomes into account.
It is even difficult falsify those models, you would need an egg surviving a 10 meter drop to rule out model
one. What is fascinating about model one is the fact that even though in some outcomes the egg survives
but it is certain that it won't happen, if it happens anyway then the model was not appropriate.
Gary: In those games there is no mention of eggs but neither tomatoes, melons or coconuts. The "eggishness"
has been spririted away by declaring them unessential for the model. Basically I did the same as the
as the theist/atheist, I simply say the "eggishness" doesn't count. You can't be certain of real objects,
they just are. It makes no sense to be certain of an egg, but it makes sense to be certain/not certain
of what happens to an egg dropping from 10 meters.

Have you come to this site seeking information About Solar Panels? Solar technology? Photovoltaics? (PDF)
What follows is basic history about solar panels and information to help you know what solar panels to buy.
Solar Panels: Harvesting the Energy from our Sun
In 1839, a nineteen year-old French physicist named Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel discovered the operating principle of the solar cell, known as the photovoltaic effect. It wasn't until 1876 that this effect materialized into a viable method of producing electricity with the work of William Grylls Adams. He discovered that by illuminating a junction between selenium and platinum, a photovoltaic effect occurs; electricity could now be produced without moving parts.
California Leads the Nation
How Solar Panels work
Since the flow of electrical current is going in one direction, like a battery, the electricity generated is called direct current (DC). Sunlight conversion rates are typically in the 5 to 18 percent range, with some laboratory experiments reaching efficiencies as high as 30 percent. Future possibilities include the development of multi-junction solar cells that are capable of harnessing a wider bandwidth of useable light. We are still considered to be in the "early" stages of solar cell technology.
Solar Panel Components
Equipment that converts the power from DC to AC is known as an solar inverter, and they come in a few varieties, modified sine wave or pure sine wave. They are further classified based on which type of system it is to be used in, whether it is off-grid or grid interconnected. Recently the innovation of micro inverters has greatly simplified installations, and makes it easy to add on panels to an installation. Each solar module is paired with its own micro inverter, which then coverts the power directly at the panel. For off grid installations the use of a charge controller is necessary to properly manage the power harvest, charge the batteries, and prevent overcharging.
Types of Solar Panels
Poly-crystalline panels are composed of many crystallites of varying size and orientation. These multi-crystalline panels are generally less expensive and slightly less efficient than mono-crystalline modules, yet lately the difference in efficiency is very small. Like their mono-crystalline counterpart, the cells are also cut into wafers that make up the individual cells of a solar panel.
Off Grid versus Grid tied
You can eliminate the cost of batteries by going with a system that connects right into your home's main junction box and use the grid as your power source at night or on long stretches of inclement weather. These installations are known as grid-tied or grid-interconnected systems. This version of solar system enables you to sell any excess power you produce back to the utility companies who have chosen to support "net metering". Once you are signed up on a net metering program, your utility company will have a smart meter installed known as a Time of Use Meter, which will actually run backwards when you are producing excess power. It is wise to keep in mind that Grid tied systems without a battery backup, are only functional when the grid is operational. Due to anti-islanding features on grid tied inverters, which protect utility workers from working on a live line, grid-tied systems without a battery back up will not continue to produce power during a power outage regardless of whether you have sunshine or not.

This is a Darden case study.
Fred Bocock was examining the performance of the Energy Hedge Fund and the Energy Portfolio, a hedge fund and a mutual fund respectively, that he manages. Bocock had become increasingly aware that absolute returns or relative returns (returns relative to a benchmark) may not adequately capture his performance and some measure of risk-adjusted performance was necessary. The Dynamis Energy Hedge Fund extends the discussion of performance evaluation into the hedge fund arena. (See "Zeus Asset Management," UV0084, for an examination of performance evaluation techniques in the mutual funds arena.) More broadly, the case engages students in discussions on what hedge funds are, what investment strategies they use, and who their investors are. Since the portfolio manager of Dynamis manages both an oil sector equity mutual fund and an oil sector hedge fund, the case allows for a comparison between a hedge fund and a mutual fund. Students should consider the pros and cons of evaluating the performance of the oil stock mutual fund against a number of oil sector stock indices as well as against a number of generic indices, such as the S&P 500 Index. The use of futures, options, shorts, and leverage by hedge funds makes it a lot more difficult to measure their performance. The case comes with a spreadsheet that contains data on the energy mutual fund, the Dynamis hedge fund, and several relevant indices.
