They sell some big rigid solar panels at Northern Tool. They are surprisingly heavy- not sure if it's the cells themselves or the frame that they go in. Hopefully, that one shown is lighter.
Seems to me to actually do much with it, you'd need to set it up somewhere and leave it a few hours. Draped over the back like that, half of it's in shade at best.

Check out this backpack on ebay...Looks like you could use it as a trunk bag.
I don't know what you're going to use it for--I'm looking at getting a small one to recharge my cell phone; it also charges mp-3s. http://www.solarstyle.com/
I have no experience with solar panels, but Ken Kifer used one to power his laptop. I just kind of did a quick search on his site and didn't find what kind he used, but it sounds similar if not the same.
I've always thought solar was kind of cool, especially if the panel is small and lightweight. The only two things I personally would need it for would be the battery for my headlight and my cell phone.
What I chose to do several years ago was to carry a battery charger for each of those. I also carry a small outlet tester (the cheap one with two leads and an LED). You would be surprised at how many parks and shelter houses have electricity.
Is it ethical? Probably not. I've asked permission to plug in many times. No one has turned me down.
I do like the solar panel idea alot. I may look into it this year again. I'm sure the technology has come a long way in the last few years.

Touring...therapy for the soul.
Ken and I met in the Poudre Canyon in Colorado. He was on his tour headed west to Walden and I was cycling east from Salt Lake City to Fort Collins. This was the last summer before he was killed by a drunk driver.
Here is picture of a solar rig that a world tourist is currently using. From what I gather his powering quite a few things with it. His total rig is something else. Somewhere in the early reports it gives the specs on it.

Brunton makes some light weight roll up solar panels that fit in a supplied storage tube and have a good reputation.

great feedback
I forgot to mention that i'm a photographer ...
I'll have to do some study on weather or not these little solar panels will charge a Digital SLR battery + MP3/40G storage Unit + Cell Phone + Electric Toothbrush
hahahah, nah that last one was a joke
I have experience with solar panels ... here's the solar page on my personal website.
While I haven't used solar on a bike, I can tell you they don't produce alot of power ... and they need direct sunlight ... they're little value in any shade, and don't do very well with clouds ... I suspect that on a flexy panel for your bike it would probably be a 5 or 10 watt panel at most. Think about it this way ... a 10 wat panel with 6 hours of bright direct sunlight would take 6 hours to produce enough power for a 60 watt bulb for an hour (actually 20% less with power loss from the charger).
I was looking into solar systems to power a laptop at Christmas, not for a bike, but here at the house.
I think I figured up that with the panel I was looking at, a workable system would cost maybe $150 and power the laptop for a half hour or so a day. This was using components from Northern Tool.
One problem is that laptops don't run off 12v DC, so the simplest way to run it off solar or batteries is to convert the 12V DC to 110V Ac and then use the AC-DC adaptor that came with the laptop. That's an awkward way to do it.
Another issue is that the panel I was looking at was a 5-watt panel. The bigger ones were about 1' x4' and were 15 watt panels. But neither of those was enough to run a laptop. So you'd have to charge a battery all day and then run the laptop a little bit. And the expense is more in the electrical doohingies than in the solar panel itself. The batteries are heavy as well.
"be careful this rando stuff is addictive and dan's the 'pusher'."
If you're just looking to recharge smaller items such as mobile phones, ipods, point-and-shoot digital cameras then check out Solio:
I bought one of these a year ago but haven't had a chance to really use it yet apart from at home. It comes with a number of different power plug attachments for whatever phone you may have, ipod connection, etc. It saves carrying around all these power chargers.
Basically it is a rechargeable battery with solar panels. You could charge the battery during the day while you are riding, and then power will be stored until you need it.
Also looks quite good as well if you're into that sort of thing.
Wish I'd had one on my long American tour, I can count the number of times I recharged my music player on two hands and hence was in a bit of a musical quiet zone for 8 months.

If you have some skills with electronics check these out: http://www.siliconsolar.com/flexible-solar-panels.php
Way cheaper than the pre-made stuff out there, and they claim they're weatherproof. I figure if you just take care of it, it'll do you good. Who's gonna try to use a solar charger in a rainstorm anyway?
I think I'll get the IceTech i101 for $30 from REI. This guy seems real happy w/ it: http://expotv.com/blog/electronics/i...phonestun-gun/
It looks cheap but good enough for an ipod and a cellphone. Plus, it's internal battery can be charged from an outlet. It's something more for emergencies in mind like having to make a call and the ipod part of course is more fun than anything else. I think I'd charge my lithium batteries on tour when I get to couchsurfers' homes or a public place now and then and just read a book in the mean time or the paper- that is if I can even get an English paper in the middle of nowhere!
I took a Brunton roll up panel on my year tour and never used it. I gave it away in Almaty to a bike mechanic who helped me out (along with rechargeable batteries and stuff). Nice piece of gear.
I did use a recharge device which used 4 AA batteries to charge up my PDA. 4 alkaline AA's gave me about 1.5 PDA charges, 4Nicad chargeable AA's gave me ~0.8 recharges to my PDA. 4 Lithium AA's gave a lot more recharges (2 or more).
The reason I didn't need to use the solar panel was because my power consumption was minimal. My camera (Canon S2IS) used 4 AA's, and using lithiums-I think I only needed one swap out up to where I gave the Solar away. I had a portable hard drive (hyperdrive) which used 4 AA's, and I took them out after I backed up. My PDA worked hours off of a charge, plenty for my journal needs. I didn't use my PDA online (except once).
-In summary, I would recommend solar (especialy flexible solar-like Brunton), to folks whose power consumption off grid would justify the weight & cost. ie-Folks who upload journals/blogs off of grid power, profesional or "semi" professional photographers. Basicly-folks who use a laptop off grid power.
I've heard of newer laptop computers with solid state hard drives, and ?6/8hours user time per charge. This would be an awesome computer to use due to lower risk of hard drive failure from vibration/altitude. Longer run time is a nice bonus-ie would only need to fully recharge every 3 days if using 2hrs per day.

I just finished a tour of the northern cascades using a daisy chained pair of Brunton Solarport 4.4s(max output 4.4 watts each). They are designed to charge a cellphone, and designed to be daisychained to increase, but I found the pair to be wholly inadequate to the task of keeping a cell phone charged. The phone I tried to charge was an LG Voyager. I set up the chargers to sit on my bob trailer, held in place over the bag by a cargo net, and place the phone in the bag to charge while riding. What would inevitably happen is that the process of charging would "wake up" the cell phone, causing the phone to drain nearly as much battery in the wake up process than the pair of solar panels would provide(mind you, this was in an area which didn't get a drop of rain or a cloud in the sky for the 6-7 days I had the panel running and charging). Every day I looked at the phone, the battery would be at the same point at the end of the day's ride(often over 6 hrs of direct sunlight) as it was at the beginning. At one point, I stopped by Rad Shack, picked up a car adapter and a 110-12v adapter so I could plug it into an outlet and properly charge the battery.
Frankly, the only thing those damn things were good for was to get the inevitable "ooh, look, solar panels" comments occasionally from other riders/tourers/passersby.
Ride a bike. It makes your legs stringy, and less tasty to our Kanamit friends.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I use a standard bicycle dynamo to recharge a GPS unit and cell phone. Both are designed to be recharged by plugging into a computer USB port. Here is the circuit.
Batteries must be solder tab type with no possibility of poor or open connections.
An open or poor connection will allow unregulated power from the dynamo to flow into any device connected to the USB port possibility damaging it.
Instead of using complicated semiconductor parts soldered to custom made circuit boards I just use 4 Ni-MH batteries. They work very well limiting voltage output of the dynamo and absorb excess current by using it for recharging. The batteries internal impedance will increase as output voltage of the dynamo approaches the design voltage of the batteries. 4.8 Vdc is the rated voltage for 4 fully recharged Ni-MH batteries. Recharging voltage needs to be slightly higher. At 5.2 volts the internal impedance of the batteries load the dynamo to the point it saturates and becomes impossible for it to produce more than 5.2Vdc. This is perfect for recharging these batteries and is well within the requirements of a standard computer USB port. A standard computer port is also rated at 500mA which happens to be the same as a standard bicycle dynamo. The batteries also make it possible to switch over to the headlight circuit leaving the USB device plugged into the USB port. The circuit above is actually two separate circuits. The batteries do not power the headlight emitters. The switch allows you to use the dynamo to power the headlight or the USB power system. The center off position electrically disengages a hub dynamo and prevents slow discharge of the batteries across the bridge rectifier diodes when the bike is going to be parked for more than several hours. My headlight is a two emitter system but may be replaced by any dynamo type headlight. More information about dynamo powered emitters can be found here.
Recharging a device is simple. Simply plug it into the USB connector, select the USB power circuit using the switch, engage the dynamo if your using a bottle or BB type dynamo, and start riding. Disconnect the device every half hour or so and check the battery indicator on the device for charge level. Pretty soon you'll know how long it will take to recharge your device. When riding at night you should use the headlight circuit only and secure any USB devices safely in a pannier or bag. Riding at night needs your full attention.
I've tried solar panels. There a waste of time, money, and weight for the amount of power you can get from them.
It's easier to pick a Yankee tourist than a bail of cotton.
Those are some fairly large panels. I suppose if you were running larger electronics, they would be needed.
I have two pieces of Brunton equipment, a solo 3.4 and a solaris usb. The solo 3.4 is nice to have for trips where you simply need something to bridge the distance between one plug-in to the next. It will do 4-5 small device charges before needing to be recharged itself. I tend to just use something like this on domestic tours.
Depending on the lighting conditions, the solaris will optimally charge the solo in a day, and may require 2-3 in poor conditions. This is certainly an adequate energy production rate to power a cell phone, mp3 player, 2xAA digital camera, PB Superflash and NR Minewt Mini USB. The Minewt is definitely the most power intensive device to charge, but my personal energy needs are met by this pairing.
On solar panels, you would want flexible amorphous ones like in the photos. Preferrably ones with some degree of water resistance. The crystalline panels like the Solio require fairly direct positioning towards the sun, and a lot of these small chargers will find themselves dead with a little water - a Solio I was given died after it was put out to charge, and my neighbors sprinkler fell on its side, giving the Solio a soak - not a real piece of resilience. Good flexible panels can be found which are nicely water resistant (or proof), and which aren't as needy for shadows, clouds or orientation.
I quite like n4zou's dynamo option as well. That could work quite nicely, as you would be able to skip having a battery powered light at night as well. I would personally prefer the panel as it will operate while not riding, which I do a lot of on tour - places to see, which is one of the nicest benefits, that you can use this system while not cycling and while doing completely different activities like backpacking if you want to. But for someone putting down a lot of miles on a bicycle, it would put out a lot of power, and could be less noticeable.

I found a solar-powered garden light (similar to: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?Inv...GARDEN-LIGHTS2 ) that had been run over, and appropriated it for myself. The stake and reflector parts were gone, and I was just left with the panel + LED + rechargeable AA batteries. I taped the solar panel dish on top of/between the brackets holding my rear rack on, so that the panel would get sun to charge the batteries, with the LED+batteries facing down. Unfortunately the batteries bounced out that same day, before I could test it out as a charger. However, it did make a very bright light--which I used in my tent every night--when coupled with two non-rechargeable AA batteries. But, of course, such a system would limit one to electronics running off of AA batteries only. Just a cheap alternative source of solar panels for the less-discerning consumer.

Gold shed 1% and silver tanked almost 8% on a broad commodity selloff, as the U.S. dollar index rose more than 1% to $75.41 on the back of a significantly weaker euro. Silver had also risen for two trading days and gold for three, so investors might also be booking profits. Some traders were looking to even bet against higher prices, especially in silver. Scott Redler, chief strategic officer at T3Live.com, said he initiated some short positions yesterday as did other traders.
Gold and silver found no support from rising inflation data. China said prices slipped to 5.3% in April from 5.4% in March, but this number was higher than the 5.2% reading expected. The U.K. also said prices fell to 4% in the same time period but the Bank of England said that inflation could hit 5% in 2011. Germany reported that inflation rose to 2.7% in the country, the highest level in a few years. Next up is Friday's reading on U.S. inflation for April. Inflation, including food and energy, is at 2.1%. China seems to be in a bind as inflation numbers are still high but industrial output fell, which means that prices are rising but its economy is slowing. Continuing on an aggressive rate hike plan would be good for inflation but could slow the economy too much. Leaving rates alone would give a green light for inflation. Currently the deposit rate is 3.25%, making real interest rates a negative 2.05%. Food prices came in at 11.2%, down from the previous reading of 11.7%, but still high. Tony Crescenzi, strategist, portfolio manager at Pimco, said in a recent note that higher food prices in emerging market economies can trickle down to wage inflation much faster than in developed economies.

Current reality star and sitcom legend Roseanne Barr announced the other night on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that she is planning on running for President.
An advocate for marijuana legalization, Roseanne told Leno, "I want to be a part of the debates because I want to represent the taxpayers. In fact, I'm choosing the tax payers as my vice president."
It's hard to tell at this point how much of this is a publicity stunt, but it's no coincidence that she has a new TV show and now she wants to run for President.
Despite her clear lack of knowledge on how the system works – making millions of people her Vice President and getting rid of all money systems and going back to barter are just a couple of things that could never happen – she is generating publicity about marijuana legalization, and that's always a a good thing.
We have qualified people who are running for President and who also favor marijuana legalization. Time will tell how long Roseanne's "run" lasts, but I'm sure as soon as the joke runs its course we won't hear anymore about it.

Steed Lobotzke: Right man, right place, right time
What Steed Lobotzke learned at Oakmont High School helped shape the way he coaches today. Away from the small town and in the big-time world of college football, he learned another lesson:
"It's all who you know," Lobotzke said Thursday from Winston-Salem, N.C., where he's preparing for his ninth season as offensive coordinator at Wake Forest University. "And I happened to know the right guy."
Lobotzke knew Jim Grobe. After graduating from Oakmont in 1988, Lobotzke entered the Air Force Academy, where Grobe was an assistant coach. Lobotzke went on to coach with Grobe at Ohio University before joining Grobe's staff at Wake Forest.
Lobotzke said coaches look for assistants with a quality work ethic, character, someone who will put in the time.
"I was lucky enough to play at Air Force when Jim Grobe was there," Lobotzke said. "That's how most guys get in."
He also was fortunate to play for Mike Lynch at Oakmont. Lynch coached the offensive line on which Lobotzke played. Lobotzke noted football has a reputation for "screaming, spitting, punching." Not Lynch.
"The thing I remember about him ... Mike was just a class act. He didn't have to cuss to get his point across," Lobotzke said. "He coached with intensity but not with foul language. Without noting it at the time, I really respected that as a player. I try to be corrective. I try to be more of a teacher than a screamer."
Lobotzke earned all-league and other honors as a junior and senior at Oakmont. He also wrestled, having been collared by Lynch, who recently retired after molding the program at Granite Bay. Grizzlies wrestling coach Shane Dixon renamed the former Grizzly Duals in Lynch's honor.
"He made me come out my junior year. I avoided it like the plague," Lobotzke said, laughing and adding that in the end, he's glad he wrestled. "It's a great, mentally tough sport and physically demanding. I was better as a college player because of wrestling."
Lynch noted that while many athletes who were being recruited at that time hung up their other sports, Lobotzke wrestled again in his senior year, won a league title and came within one match of qualifying for the State Meet.
"In those days, they only took the top four (at the Sac-Joaquin Section Meet). In today's market, he'd have been at the state tournament," Lynch said. "He was an extremely bright kid, goal-oriented and had a great work ethic. He refined his talent as much as you possibly could. He made a lot of progress that first year as a junior."
Lynch entertained an Air Force Academy recruiter at his home one day and played a highlight film of Lobotzke.
"I told him what a great kid Steed was. I'm just proud as I can be of having him come through the program. The recruiter said, 'And he's also a wrestler.' They loved that. I was so proud of Steed when he went to the Air Force Academy."
Lobotzke was named second-team All-Western Athletic Conference as a junior and all-WAC as a senior. He also played in the East-West Shrine Game. Lobotzke said he "just wasn't good enough or big enough" to play in the NFL.
"I was 235 pounds when I played in the Shrine Game," he said.
But he was good enough to coach. After his playing career ended, Lobotzke's coaching career began. He stayed on with the Air Force Academy as a graduate assistant.
"I did a good job. We went to a bowl game," Lobotzke said. "(Grobe) got to see my work ethic as a coach, albeit it a grad assistant."
That was all it took. Grobe went on to become head coach at Ohio University. Lobotzke, in active duty at the time and about six months shy of being discharged, caught one of the Air Force Academy's last games in the 1996 season. Other former Air Force players were there. They remembered Lobotzke.
"I was fresh on their brains," he said. "Shortly thereafter, they literally called me and said, 'Do you want a job?' No interview, no résumé. Nothing."
Lobotzke was discharged in February 1997. He spent the next four years coaching centers and guards at Ohio. When Grobe was hired at Wake Forest, he took his assistants with him.
During his tenure, he promoted Troy Calhoun, with whom Lobotzke played at the Air Force Academy, to offensive coordinator. When Calhoun left for the NFL — he's now the head coach at the Air Force Academy — Lobotzke was promoted, due in large part to a recommendation from Billy Mitchell, Lobotzke's JV coach at the Air Force Academy and now an associated head coach at Wake Forest. Former Air Force players Brian Knorr and Steve Russ also are on the Wake Forest staff.
"They call us Air Force East," Lobotzke said.
Lobotzke said he's had several interviews to be a head coach but hasn't found the right fit. Now he's watching young coaches.
"You kind of earmark guys in the industry," he said.
What Lobotzke hasn't been able to do as much as he'd like is visit his hometown. Lobotzke's parents, Patsy and Bill, and brother Darik live in Roseville. Lobotzke and his wife, Kristin, are busy with daughters ages 8, 3 and 1.
Wake Forest plays in the rugged Atlantic Coast Conference. Florida State and Clemson play in Wake Forest's half of the ACC. Virginia Tech, Miami and North Carolina are among the schools in the other half.
Wake Forest's recruiting standards are tough, and it's the third-smallest Bowl Championship Series school, according to Lobotzke.
"The trickiest line we walk at Wake Forest," he said. "Bring in the wrong person, they stand out. We have to recruit the right person, but they also have to be able to beat Florida State and Miami."

Influential Football Player Turned Entrepreneur Darryl Hill Shares Story at BC
February 04, 2015
By Angela Taldone '15
On Jan. 29, as a part of the College's annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, Darryl Hill spoke to students, community members, and faculty and staff in Cole Hall.
Hill, the chairman and CEO of Kids Play U.S.A. Inc., broke the color barrier in college athletics when he became the first African American scholarship athlete to play football at the University of Maryland.
Hill's lecture addressed two important parts of his life— football and business. Although the two experiences were different in nature, he said that both stories were about "turning adversity into opportunity." He initially attended Xavier University, then the Naval Academy, before attending the University of Maryland. Hill reflected that during his time at the Naval Academy, there were "12 African Americans out of 4,000 students," and he was the first African American to play football for the Navy.
Prior to 1963, the year Hill was recruited to play at the University of Maryland, African Americans could not play sports in the Deep South. Although the University of Maryland isn't geographically in the Deep South, its athletic conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference, was a segregated conference.
Hill said that the fans were the hardest on him. When he was first recruited, many viewed him as a "black man desecrating the temple." He had minimal problems with teammates and opposing football players.
In addition, Hill respectfully acknowledged Bridgewater College's very own Carlyle Whitelow '59, who was in attendance, as Whitelow was the first African American college athlete to play at a school that was not a predominantly black college.
Transitioning to business, Hill emphasized, "Don't take anything for granted. Don't think things can't happen just because they haven't happened yet." His organizations and their efforts have made a difference for minorities entering the business world. From an optical company to an energy management company, as well as a forestry operations company, Hill took advantage of what was around him.
Hill attributed his success to a simple mindset that he encouraged the crowd to adopt. "Don't think it's not possible," he said. Drawing from his own experiences to inspire the audience to also be successful in business, Hill concluded, "There's opportunity everywhere."

Look at a chart and see the volume and price action. See where the hot money went in and now see the distribution. High volume on down days and low volume on up days. nuff said.
Most of this board trades around a position........i.e. they are up on the shares they own and have money to buy if it dips to 1.50.

I was going to pre order it the other day but thought it'll be faster if I just go into the shop on the day it gets released and buy it off the shelf as there are no pre-order specials if it.

ima get mine from us psn account. you can dl it around 6 or 7 pm (aussie time) on the day of us release.
By the way, to those saying we are talking about gta 4, you are Off topic, this post is about GTA 5 and the leak from PSN, thats why i said we will soon see a disc-ripped leaked version or a leak of 2-3 certain files that will allow us to convert the psn version.
A map of Grand Theft Auto 5's Los Santos has been leaked online
Source: ign.com/articles/2013/09/11/leaked-gta-5-map-shows-off-the-insane-size-of-los-santos
Following up on the previous Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) PS3 Digital Edition PSN leak, today I have made available a GTA5 Emblem Creator with details below followed by a few bug fixes.
Download: GTA5 Emblem Creator / GTA5 Emblem Creator (Fix) / GTA5 Emblem Creator (Trial Removed) / Emblem Creator Update
It allows users to create emblems from images for Rockstar Social Club. These emblems can be activated for your crew and used in game.
Note: Requires .NET Framework 4

I got it installed twice on my CFW PS3 waiting for that magic eboot. (2 versions, PSN and converted to disc versions)
I'll also get it from the shop the day of release as its coming out on the same day worldwide. Just saves me all that time downloading it like I did weeks ago.
I'm guessing I'll patch the eboot myself so no need to wait for a patched version to come out unless it comes out prior to shop release which is what I'm hoping for, thats why I will have it installed.
If Not I'll just delete these two and install the disc version when I get it.
I am ready for a lot of action.
vivement qu'il sorte
I'm really surprised there isn't a leaked eboot or a fix by now. I'm guessing they are waiting for the disc version to get released then leak that and it looks like its pretty tight and not getting leaked prior to store release.
Yeah, really baffling me too. I don't think we'll see a release prior to Friday, or even Saturday.

Remembering Fat Rodney
Yesterday marked the twentieth anniversary of rapper Fat Rodney's tragic murder. Frequently heralded as one of most memorable emcees to ever rock the Go-Gos, Rodney's life was taken from him at just 21 years old in 1989. Over at my site, Cocaineblunts.com, I spoke with Rare Essence's Andre "Whiteboy" Johnson about Rodney and his legacy:
"When he walked into the room he lit the room up. There are a couple of other guys who had done it before, but I don't think anybody [did] it to the extent that Rodney had done it. So as he walked through the door, everybody was yelling his chant. "What you gonna do, Fat Rodney?!" We lost a huge talent. And we lost a good friend because Rodney sat around with us for hours, just joking and talking and everything. DC lost a huge talent. Rodney was a great guy, personally. And he was a real good rapper, very observant. The fact that he's rapping and he spots some girl in the crowd with a red shirt on, he'll incorporate her into the rap. Spot the guy with the blue jacket on, he brings him into it. All of that is what made Rodney the legend that he is."

A day in Southport, North Carolina.
Wednesday morning, my wife, the dog, and I took a nice long walk on the beach down to Yaupon pier. Grabbed a couple shots under the pier.� We were going to walk out on the pier but they want 50 cents a head. Didn't have any money on us so we decided to walk back to the beach house through town. Once we got back, the entire crew piled into ...
The Beach!
We slept in pretty much.� Well... I slept in, at least.� We had a simple, light breakfast and walked down to the beach just to check it out.� It had rained the night before and everthing was still pretty wet.� It was still pretty. After the beach, we piled into the van and went to, of all places, Walmart.� We stocked up on groceries and beer (Yuengling Black and Tan). We're pretty much just going to chill for the rest of the day.� I'm enjoying the Yuengling which I can't get back ...

A Pap smear is a sample taken during a pelvic examination that allows the physician to examine cells of the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus, or womb, which opens into the vagina. The Pap test can tell if you have an infection, abnormal cells or other medical problems such as cancer. Getting a Pap smear is important for all women, along with pelvic exams, as part of their regular routine health care exams. Pap tests are generally recommended for women who are 21 years older.
An abnormal Pap smear means that the cells of the cervix show slight abnormal changes. If abnormal or unusual cells are discovered, it may be an indication of cervical cancer, or the possibility of developing cancer in the future.
When a Pap smear shows abnormalities, the physician may perform a colposcopy — a procedure that allows close examination of the abnormal cells on the cervix — to determine the type of abnormality that exists. Depending on the results of the colposcopy, the physician will determine the best treatment plan for the patient. Abnormal Pap smears are best treated by removing the abnormal cervical tissue to prevent worsening or spreading to other areas of the cervix.
There are two main types of treatment for cervical abnormalities:
- Ablative therapy, which destroys the abnormal area, can include cryosurgery and laser ablation
- Excisional therapy, which removes abnormal area, involves loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEP), laser conization and cervical conization procedures.
The physicians of Obstetrics and Gynecology are always available to discuss abnormal Pap smears, what it means and possible treatment options.

RICHMOND COUNTY, Ga (WRDW)-The Richmond County Sheriff's Office did not find enough evidence to move forward with a criminal violation for the incident involving a deputy's taser, according to a release.
A child was hurt by Deputy Kevin Butler's taser when another child inside the house accidentally used it on June 30, deputies said.
Deputy Butler was disciplined for the policy violation of duty to care for county property, but investigators did not find the incident warranted criminal charges, the Sheriff's Office said.
The Sheriff's Office forwarded their file to the DA's Office, which agreed with its findings, the release said.

Four years earlier, the beautiful young half-elf had celebrated the return of her childhood sweetheart Kyren Thornhollow from his rite of passage, the Quest for the Everflame, in the town of Kassen by joyfully accepting his proposal of marriage in the midst of the festival. It would have to be a long engagement, however; Kyren, fresh out of his apprenticeship, was determined that he be able to provide a comfortable home for his bride-to-be and any children that might bless their union so while he worked and saved, Lilley traveled the Fangwood with the militia in which her human father had died some years earlier. She had never known her elven mother, and her father's comrades-in-arms appreciated both the sweet songs she sang and her soft-spoken way of defusing tensions with other groups of Nirmathi militia patroling the forest against incursions by Molthune.
At long last, Kyren had saved enough money to build and furnish a tidy new house in Kassen with a garden and sent for his bride. The whole town turned out for the wedding, when he put a golden ring on her finger depicting the holy symbol of Shelyn in chips of colored semi-precious stones, a symbol of his eternal love and devotion.
Six weeks later, she lay dying. Disease had spread through the village, ironically probably carried by a wedding guest. Relatively few had died of the pestilence, but Lilley was one of the the unlucky. Kyren sat by their bed in anguish, holding her slim and clammy hand and whispering professions of love -- and promises. "They say there's a druid in the Fangwood," he told her. "Whatever it costs, I'll get you back." They were the last words her ears would hear on this plane.
What followed next was cloudy and confusing in her memories. She was in a great cloud of whispering beings, none of which were clear to her, knowing she was waiting to be judged. When she sensed the call across the planes, her soul shot back like an arrow, joyful, knowing that her lover had kept his promise.
She opened her eyes in a dim grove, the grass soft and blessedly material against her back. There was a rustle and Kyren stepped from between the trees. His face was clear to her: pale and drawn but marked with a wild hope. Although she could see him clearly, he didn't seem to have seen her yet; he turned the beam of a lantern he carried, searching. The light struck her eyes, and she saw his face change in an instant, from eager to appalled. "Kyren, what's wrong?" she asked as he drew back and was immediately frightened and surprised by the sound of her own voice. Her voice was no longer high and sweet as it had been but low and rough, and the words were slurred and distorted by traveling around two tusks that emerged from her mouth. She had come back and was still half-human -- but her new body's other half was orc.
They traveled back to Kassen in stunned silence, her trailing after him in shame, her eyes on the ground. When they arrived, blessedly still in the dark and concealed from curious eyes, she turned toward the house she had died in, but Kyren had sold it to pay for her reincarnation. Even the house and all the furniture had not brought enough, and to raise enough gold within a week, he had indentured himself to a lumber merchant, agreeing to work for seven long years to repay the debt. He took her to a small, one-room house he had rented. He went in, looked at the bed, looked at the floor. "You take the bed; I'll sleep on the floor," he told her, without looking in her direction at all.
He slept all that night with his back to the bed. She knew because her yellow eyes could see in the dark and because this new body had only been alive for a few hours and wasn't tired. In truth, she was as attractive by the standards of half-orcs as she had been by human standards in the body that died; there wasn't an orc in Belkzen that wouldn't have been happy to claim her, a well-muscled, broad-shouldered, slim-waisted female with smooth green skin and near-human features apart from the exposed tusks. But Lilley was as repulsed by her new form as her husband was. She lay alone and awake in the bed, her skin crawling at its own existence. The awkward silence remained unbroken the next morning, as Kyren rose and dressed and Lilley huddled miserably wishing to be invisible. He stopped just before he walked out the door and spoke without turning around. "We work ten days and will be back the eleventh." As he shouldered his axe, he finally glanced at her strong, green arm clutching the sheets and gave a humorless chuckle as he walked out the door; she was clearly now stronger than he and would have made a better lumberjack.
The daylight stung her orcish eyes, and she desperately wanted not to be seen anyway. She closed the shutters before exploring the room her world had shrunk to. There was little enough; Kyren had sold everything of value -- with one exception. She found all of her own possessions carefully put away in a rickety wooden chest: her clothes, her shoes, her wedding ring. None of them would fit her new, larger body. Alone, at last she wept, a bestial howl that only deepened her despair.
The second night, she slept. She dreamed. Dreams of her old life in the forest, yes, but also dreams she had never had before: dreams of blood and death and destruction. She would have called them nightmares, except that she didn't wake in terror -- and that frightened her more than the dreams.
She couldn't hide forever. She was seen slipping out at dusk or before sun-up. She could feel the wave of horrified whispers wash across the town. No one spoke to her; no one knew what to say. Half-orcs were not unknown in the Fangwood, but half-orcs that used to be half-elf maidens were. They averted their eyes. She averted her own. On the eleventh day, Kyren returned. He walked in the door, his axe on his shoulder. He looked at her, his face a blank mask. He slept on the floor.
It was his fourth or fifth ten-day shift, when she slipped out of the house to walk in the forest before dawn, before the sun came up to burn her eyes, before anyone would see her. She had grown to hate that little room, full of the pieces of her past life which mocked what she had become, and she stayed out a little too long. Returning to town, she saw two women already out to draw their morning water from the well between her and the safety of her door. They were standing and looking at the little house. "Poor Kyren," she overheard one of them say. "He gave up everything he had worked so hard for, and for what?" "Yes," the other replied sagely, "he would have been so much happier if she'd just stayed dead."
She left that night, having forced her larger, broader hands to fumble a note to the landlady telling her to let the house to someone else so Kyren would no longer have to pay for it. She took her clothes and her ring and followed the trail into the forest, looking for the lumberjacks' camp. She had been forced to wear some of Kyren's clothes, all she could find to fit her, and pushed her wider, flatter feet into his old boots. In the dark, with her gruff voice, she could pass for one of the half-breed men who worked there. She found a watchman half asleep, asked which tent was Kyren Thornhollow's.
She intended to set him free, release him from his obligation to her, return her old belongings and the ring he had given her to sell to shorten his term of service. But when she quietly entered the tent and saw, in the dark, him making love to a camp prostitute in his cot, her orcish blood boiled. At once she knew what her tusks were for; she growled in outrage, tore at the woman's throat with her teeth and felt the hot spray of blood in her face. It wasn't until she saw through the darkness the gape of horror and fear on her husband's face that she realized what she had done and what she had become. She released the limp body from her jaws, dropped the bag, and ran, before lights could be struck or alarms sounded. She ran until even the strength of her half-orc body could carrry her no further. As she lay on her face, gasping and sobbing into the undergrowth, she opened her clenched hand to find her wedding ring still in it, the holy symbol of Shelyn impressed into her green flesh.
She made for the edge of the Fangwood, a pass through the Mindspin Mountains, for Kaer Maga. She had heard tales of a city so depraved that the strangest and most monstrous creatures could walk its streets without drawing undue attention and had never had any desire to see it until now. If there was anywhere a half-elf in a half-orc's body could hope to find anonymity and anything approaching a normal life, it was there. She kept the ring and her husband's name to remind her of who she used to be; she has the dreams of violence to remind her of what she is. The death of her husband's lover at the points of her tusks wasn't the end of the stirring of the orcish blood in her veins but only its awakening....

Hi everyone!
Wanted to know if you had any advice for me.
We found out at 20 weeks that my second daughter's right hand did not developed. We already have an 18 month old little girl, who is as healthy as can be, so this was a complete surprise. I, of course, cannot recall everything the doctor said. I was too shocked an sad to hear this. A second ultrasound (at a perinatologist) confirmed the results. Last week we talked to a pediatrician and got a little more clarity on what the perinatologist report said. So what I understand is that her arm is there, there's a "stump" and a few "digits". Does anyone have any advice, or ideas on where to look for support?
I have been searching online for resorces and trying to reasearch on the possibility that she could have surgery and get a hand eventually, but seems unlikely. Anyone has any experience with this? Or does anyone know of a case where a hand developed later than it should, the dr. said that it was not possible, but we are still praying for a miracle.
Anyway, any information, encouraging stories and/or advice is welcome.
Thank you.

Lew Bush
When Seattle Weekly reported on the bankruptcy of former Husky and NFL star quarterback Mark Brunell in December, we also touched on other conflicts in the lives of ex-pro football players, including early deaths related to their playing days, such as suicides, as well as heart attacks in their 40s, as befell Lew Bush, a Tacoma native and ex-WSU star. He was also one of seven members of the 1995 San Diego Chargers Super Bowl team who died young. Now there is an eighth: Junior Seau.
Lew Bush
His death was nearly identical to that of ex-Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson, 50, who also shot himself in the chest, committing suicide last year. Suffering from psychological problems, he left a note asking that his brain be used in a study of NFL concussions. As well, ex-NFL lineman Shane Dronett, 38, committed suicide in 2009 due to delusions resulting from concussions, according to his family.
(Ex-Husky Reggie Rogers and nine ex-Seattle Seahawks are party to an ongoing lawsuit accusing the NFL of concealing the effects of brain injuries on players).
Seau's former wife Gina, asked if she thought her ex suffered brain damage during his 20 years of prep, college and pro football, told ESPN, "Of course he had. He always bounced back and kept on playing. He's a warrior. That didn't stop him. I don't know what football player hasn't. It's not ballet. It's part of the game."
Junior Seau
Consultant (and ex-Green Bay Packer) Ken Ruettgers told us for SW's December cover story that some pros discount the possibility that an injury or stress could end their careers and leave them with lifetime medical or psychiatric complications. "Thoughts of suicide are very common," he said.
Bush, Seau's former Chargers teammate and fellow linebacker, never reported any psychological issues but struggled with an array of injuries during his career as a Washington State University player. He was a 1993 NFL draft pick as was fellow Coug Drew Bledsoe along with Huskies Brunell and Billy Joe Hobert, and played pro ball ten years.
When he died of a heart attack December 8, Bush was 42 years old, a year younger than Seau. Two other teammates on their Chargers Super Bowl team had already died of heart failure: Shawn Lee, 44, and Chris Mims, 38. Somewhat eerily, four other teammates have also died before the age of 45: Curtis Whitley of a drug overdose, Rodney Culver of a plane crash, David Griggs of an auto accident, and Doug Miller from a lightening strike (!).
Yahoo! Sports (and ex-Seattle Times) columnist Les Carpenter yesterday remembered writing a story in 2008, after the fifth Chargers death, and how that had seemed like a lot even then. He talked at the time with the team's center, Courtney Hall, who wondered "Is this a curse or something?" Yesterday, Carpenter called Hall back again. This time, with eight dead, Hall said, "I am really at a loss for words."

Nick Lowe/Ron Sexsmith
Nick Lowe is a dynamic force who's been gusting through popular music, albeit in an often understated way, for 30-odd years. He was a pub-rock pioneer, initially with Brinsley Schwarz and later with Rockpile, the band he co-led with Dave Edmunds. As a producer and co-founder of Stiff Records, he helped ignite the punk and new-wave movements, working with the likes of Elvis Costello, the Damned, and the Pretenders. And through it all Lowe has been a brilliantly idiosyncratic—even erudite—songwriter, responsible for such nuggets as "What's So Funny 'Bout (Peace, Love and Understanding)" and "Cruel to Be Kind," wandering through pub-influenced rock, pop, country, and soul. Although hardly ancient at 58, Lowe dubbed his latest At My Age (Yep Roc), which turns out to be quite spry. It's heavy on country and soul flavored ballads, with Lowe crooning amid judicious horns and tasty arrangements, while plum melodies blossom alongside wry wordplay. Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, who will open, is another accomplished songsmith who matches delicious pop-folk melodies with keen observations about life and love. Last year's Time Being (Ironworks), produced by Mitchell Froom, is the latest in a string of strong albums.

Regarding tips & tools to make work easier, I'd say the most important thing is so simple. Stay calm, respectful and nice! Your team (those you report to, work with and report to you), your vendors, your clients, your media contacts... people will ultimately determine your success on the job. People can make situations so much easier or more difficult than they need be. And in high pressure situations it can be easy to forget to say please, thank you and "great job." Work hard, work smart and never forget to work nice :)
On a separate note,I noticed my Gmail has been getting all of the comments and believe I was able to change that in settings thought I would pass along the tip. This community will no doubt have a lot of GREAT comments that I want to read, and for me it will be a bit easier to manage in one thread!

Sergio Aristeo
He grew up in a large family surrounded by his siblings. Thanks to his parents' support he went to school and completed primary education. This has served him well, since it is so important to know how to read and write, although he would have wished to continue learning, he says, but that was not possible. This is why now that he has children, he supports and encourages them to go to school.
He lives in a humble home of his own with his wife and five children born from the marriage. He makes a living growing basic grains to harvest and sell, leaving a part for household consumption. They live without electricity since there is none available for this community, he says, so he and his family use oil lamps for lighting. He decided to request a loan to buy and install a small solar system for his home.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
TECNOSOL is a for-profit renewable energy company that provides electricity and solar powered products to families living off the grid in Nicaragua. It enables households to generate their own energy and replace toxic and expensive sources of light and heat like kerosene, diesel and wood.
Many of TECNOSOL's clients cannot afford the high upfront costs of buying solar products. Kiva loans help these households purchase clean energy products.
Solar home systems are much more than a solar lamp and can provide users with life changing amounts of power: enough power to run multiple lights, home appliances, radios, and TVs. These systems are modular, enabling clients to add solar panels and batteries to meet their increasing energy demands.
Important InformationThis Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.

Amongst the many reactions to Steve Jobs's death last week, I found one comparison that people drew to be quite compelling. In order to find a fitting historic analogy to illustrate the cultural significance of Jobs's life, comparisons ran the gamut from Nikola Tesla to, erm, John Lennon ("think different,"...

What: Northwest-style Mexican in the North End
Where: The Pub at Third Place
What Does $13 Get You? Nachos ($4.95), three-cheese pesto quesadilla with lime sour cream ($4.95)—and an optional pint ($3.25) if you can hit up you friend for tax and tip.
Recommended? If you're in the nabe and want to escape from the world for an hour.
Official Tasting Notes: I am an idiot. The place I was supposed to go for $13 was closed on Sundays. A lot of restaurants, it turns out, are closed on Sundays. So I drove around the north end with my sister aimlessly for about an hour looking for somewhere to eat, and we ended up at the bar nearest our out-of-town parents' house (we had to water their plants).
I was worried our choice would smack of desperation, but as it turned out, we unwittingly stumbled into a cozy little corner of Seattle, made of glowing warm wood and all-day Sunday happy hour and lots groups of well-meaning neighborhood citizens, many with beards and t-shirts bearing the names of their children's elementary schools, drinking microbrews and talking about eating locally. Ah, Ravenna.
I view nachos as sort of a cop-out food--I'll eat them when they're in front of me, but I'd never go out of my way to get them. My sister, on the other hand, is a huge nachos fan and rated these a solid 8/10 (the fresh salsa and liberal cheese was a plus, but could have used more sour cream and/or olives). We both agreed the pesto quesadilla was probably the best quesadilla we'd ever had. It was adequately cheesy, slightly savory from pesto and tiny flecks of red pepper, and the lime cream was bright and refreshing. Two major thumbs up, especially paired with a Boundary Bay IPA.
With its wood tables and walls, the Pub at Third Place is the kind of place where you forget whether it's night or day--in the best possible sense of the term. There's a TV, but its unobtrusive, and there's a well-stocked bookcase and a pile of board games that make you feel like you're actually bettering yourself for being there. It's the height of civilization, and I could totally imagine myself there with my laptop on a rainy Sunday in the future, stuffing myself with cheap quesadillas with a big grin on my face.
