PASCO, Wash. (AP) — A man convicted of killing a Pasco man who arranged farmworker jobs in onion fields is facing more than 50 years in prison.
Thirty-one-year-old Ramon Garcia-Morales was found guilty Wednesday of murder and attempted murder for the 2008 shooting that killed Alfredo Garcia and wounded his wife.
Franklin County prosecutors say Garcia-Morales blamed Alfredo Garcia for his lack of work and financial hardship.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 28th in Pasco.
Garcia-Morales' brother, Jose, is also accused in the case and is undergoing a mental evaluation at Eastern State Hospital.

Took this your with friends and kids ages 8-11 while in port with our cruise. Bus picked us up at port and it was about 20 minute ride to snorkel cruise. The transportation is extra and you pay at the dock for snorkel boat. We saw a lot of fish in the water and we had a blast. Our kids loved it
very friendly staff!! however transportation to their boat was not included, so we had to pay an additonal 50 for party of 5 to get to Port Lucaya from Freeport, but otherwise very pleased with our experience
This was by far the BEST part of our Bahamas visit! The crew was PHENOMENAL, they had a sense of humor, great personalities and gave an aura of fun every time you talked to them. The tour was easy going, they took you out to a reef and let you explore on your own yet still guided. Our main tour guide was so much help, she kept pointing out the types of fish. We saw a barracuda, sting ray and even a nurse shark!
Our trip to Freeport was pretty bad, we were there for one week and this was the only day that we enjoyed being there. DEFINITELY recommend this tour!
I was so scared at first, but the tour guides are so informative that it made it so easy to learn, and made it so much fun. They even stopped the boat to catch a star fish and teach us about them, a must do tour!!!
The staff was very friendly and helpful especially Laura, she was great.
This was the most enjoyable and best experience on this trip of ours.
The captain and staff were all superb! Efficient, knowledgable, friendly and helpful.
The snorkeling itself was amazing. All one can see!!!
The water is warm, even in winter.
This I would recommend anyone of any age, swimmer or not swimmer. If you cannot swim, use a floating device.
This was our second time going out on the Fantasia. We enjoyed it so much. The crew is the best, they are friendly, happy and very willing to help make your snorkling adventure the best. Captain Nick has 3 or 4 life guards, or as he calls them his dolphins in the water with you at all times just swimming around and helping those that want help or can not swim well. You can snorkel without life vests, with or without flippers, just do what ever you want. The trip out to the reef is not long and is smooth. Best thing Freeport has to offer. Same captain and 1 dolphins as last trip.
Great trip. Friendly staff. Great snorkeling.
My family enjoyed this tour. The help could not do enough for you making sure everyone was having fun and safe.
The crew on the ship are fantastic! They are entertaining, fun, and so courteous! We especially enjoyed Rambo. If you want to snorkel, this is the excursion for you. The Bahama Mamas are good too.
Great job getting us to the boat and out on the reef, it was beautiful. Very pleasant and helpful tour guide and staff too.
The shuttle they were supposed to provide back though was unorganized and over crowded. many of us were left behind to find out our own transportation back to the port.

Review: Sean Cullen is a human man on a wild and brilliant rideComedy
Strange and brilliant: Canadian comedian Sean Cullen's I Am A Human Man.

- Comedy
Sean Cullen – I Am a Human Man
Arts Centre & Melbourne Town Hall
Until April 7
Sean Cullen has bad news for Australia – with an accent like ours, we will never be able to provide a convincing Bond villain. Mimicking an audience member's voice, he riffs away on the topic before catching himself and returning to the subject before that.
Such wild flights of improvisation are the Canadian comedian's trademark, and it's a thing of beauty to watch him soar. As he flits with perfect focus between items as diverse as huge airliners, farming, transgressive turtles, werewolves and Southern lawyers, it's hard to tell what's rehearsed and what's made up on the spot.
Added to this are his impressive vocal talents; he delivers quirky songs in a range of styles. There's something about Cullen's softly-spoken, bug-eyed delivery that conveys edginess and unpredictability, and as a result we're totally engaged with his intense persona.
It's strange, and brilliant.

As China's Dissident Enclave, Hong Kong Tests Beijing ; This Week, a Key Chinese Newspaper Condemned Democrats for Co- Opting Recent Hong Kong Protests
Robert Marquand writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
When James To's mother was persecuted by Mao Zedong's soldiers, his father swam to Hong Kong to establish a new family home. For Mr. To, a youthful and bespectacled Hong Kong legislator, the story is burned deeply in family memory, and adds to the collective identity of Hong Kong as a place of escape, transit, and refuge for people across Asia.
That identity, and the strong East-meets-West contrasts that still exist between an open Hong Kong and an opening China, has been put to the test in recent weeks over a "national security bill" that protesters feel could threaten the civil liberties of the commercial Asian hub.
"Hong Kong is a place where people have always thought differently," says To, a Democratic Party member and core supporter of three major protests since July 1 that have caught the leaders of China by surprise. "Deng Xiaoping once said that Hong Kong is a 'base of subversion.' In some ways he was right."
Tensions over Hong Kong's feisty season of protests were raised a discernable notch by Beijing this week. An editorial in the Monday Hong Kong edition of China Daily, a top Party news organ, condemned democrats like To for turning the protests "into a vehicle for subverting the political system in Hong Kong [and] undermining the authority of the chief executive."
The people of Hong Kong should "pull themselves together," and "think carefully what they should do next," the editorial stated. Though the editorial did not appear in the mainland China edition of the paper, it represents the first official statement by Beijing, nearly two weeks after some 500,000 people marched to protest what is called here the "draconian" Article 23.
Two smaller protests ensued, on July 9 and July 13, as lawyers, legislators, civic activists, and church leaders have decided to channel widespread public anger over the Beijing-backed chief executive Tung Che Hwa into a more affirmative desire for what is known as "full democracy." That means the initiation of moves toward direct elections for Hong Kong's top leader and 60-seat legislature.
Since July 1, Mr. Tung has said nothing about the "universal suffrage" asked for by the protesters - though it is an eventuality promised in the Basic Law that governs Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Article 23 is seen as a means for Beijing to target groups like the Falun Gong spiritual movement, some fundamentalist Christian sects, and pro-Tibet or Taiwan groups. (Most Hong Kong-nese support the concept of a national security bill, but not the version that the government here tried to pass.)
The origins of the controversial law date to the 1989 Tiananmen Squareepisode in Beijing, when students chanting democratic slogans were shot at by Chinese soldiers called in to restore order.
Many of those student protesters fled to Hong Kong - a traditional haven for social and political activists in Chinese history. At that time, negotiations between Britain and China over Hong Kong's return were well underway. After Tiananmen, Beijing insisted that Article 23 be included in the Basic Law as a means of curbing "anti- revolutionary" behavior, or subversion. …

Whoa, yeah. Good point(s).
Jordan Butler replied on
Whoa, yeah. Good point(s). I often find myself thinking about how these dynamics affect our ability to negotiate the sexual relationships we want with real people in so far as we find ourselves needing to talk or think about our desires in terms of social categories. The temptation to use those categories is natural because they are available for making sense of our own lives. They are also what we often fall back on when trying to talk about ourselves, or our identities or behavior with others. But they are limiting. Maybe you're the Abstinent Jesus Freak Type, or the State School Party "Slut" Type, or the Pro-Sex Feminist "Slut" Type. Pick one. Or we pick for you. Talking about things like whether people have become more or less promiscuous seems to leave us all without the tools to really talk about sex as a real thing we do or want or don't want to do.

Enjoyed the article. Sad truth is that people lie to get laid. People get their feelings hurt. People get funny sores on their genitals or die. Also, the truth is that sex can be really, really marvelous.
Slate Article
AZ replied on
I've been following the thread of the Slate article and I'm not sure Henderson's piece, though thoughtful and interesting, really conveys the meaning the Jessice Grose's article, "Generation Scold".
Ms Henderson wrote,
"You can refuse to let your personal become their political. You can take your sexual decision making out of their system."
How can I do that when I am bombarded with messages that claim there is a right or a wrong way to express my sexuality? Grose was calling attention to the judgment stemming from all sources, some of which are the media, but much of which occurs on college campuses, at bars, parties, and the workplace, inflicted upon us by our peers. How can I avoid these judgments? The personal IS political, and there's no way around that. How can my sexual decision making ever be out of their system when the system holds the power to promote or demean my choices? Or when every time I check the news there is the condemnation of people whose personal lives are none of my business (eg. Tiger Woods)? How can I "refuse to play" when the media is saturated with messages that condemn certain expressions of sexuality?
I applaud Grose for writing the Slate article. I guess I'm a little confused about what Henderson is arguing.
Re: Slate Article
J. Maureen Henderson replied on
Hi there,
The Slate article (as pointed out to me by a reader) was more or less a jumping off point for my piece and my own line of thinking, so no direct linkages to Jessica Grose's thesis were meant to be drawn. Perhaps I should have clarified that.
The personal is political because we see no other way for it to be. I absolutely don't claim that withdrawing your sexual expression from the realm of the public is easily done. It isn't, not by a long shot. But we give the system the power to "promote" or "demean" our choices by accepting/refusing to question its premise that our sexual conduct is public property. I see no compelling reason to accept this narrative at face value and allow it to dictate the choices I make about my sexual behavior and how I feel about them, no matter how much the system would have me believe this to be the inalienable truth of being a young woman in contemporary America.
You can't beat the system from the inside, but you can defeat its intentions by opting out entirely.
But what about the people
AZ replied on
But what about the people who don't want to keep their sex lives private? What about the people who want to be proud of their sexuality? People are openly ridiculed and shamed for just talking to the wrong person (someone married, someone of the "wrong" gender, someone who already has a reputation, someone much older/younger than us). People are made examples of (again, eg Tiger). I agree a good way for people to handle invasions of privacy of ANY kind is to say, "It's none of your business." But I don't believe we should be forced to guard our sex lives. I believe our private lives are nobody's business, but I also believe I should be able to publicly display affection with a different person every night of the week without being judged for it. How can we learn to accept one another if we're locking ourselves in the closet...er..I mean bedroom?
Re: But what about the people
J. Maureen Henderson replied on
I'm not suggesting literal privacy so much as intellectual/emotional privacy, if that makes sense. I don't think spending our energy attempting to change the judgment you mention is the best course of action (sure, it sounds better and would be the ideal, but I'm being pragmatic here) at the individual level. Instead, working to reconceptualize our own attitudes toward sex as beyond/above/removed from the power of omnipresent judgment makes the most sense to me. Can you change what people think about you for being publicly affectionate with a different person every night of the week? Doubtful. But can you change the way YOU feel about their disapproval/salacious interest/objection and downgrade its relevance to YOUR life? I absolutely believe so. And I believe that's where we should be directing our energy.
With all due respect, I
AZ replied on
With all due respect, I completely disagree with you. Why do you think we have Pride? Why do we march down the street to promote open expression of sexuality if not to change people's minds and hearts? We've been working for decades (some causes have been going on in different incarnations for centuries). I think your assertion that we should remove ourselves "emotionally/intellectually" from discussion threatens to undue the work hundreds of thousands of people have fought to defend. How many people have died because judgment turned into a hate crime? You don't think that's critical for us to work against? We MUST change people's consciousness. It isn't a question of pragmatism. And the judgment is about much more than hurt feelings.
I, for one, am not going to remove sexuality from emotional/intellectual discourse. I think it SHOULD be there. Your suggestion will do nothing but isolate us at a time when we should be promoting discussion and actively working against the prescription of sexual mores.
And personally, I feel great about my sexuality. But I don't like being demonized for at times having more than one partner (and I LOVED every minute of it). How do I know I won't be assaulted by someone who thinks I'm a (fill-in-sexist-epithet)? If we continue to let judgments slide as insurmountable and therefore not worth actively fighting against then we will backslide into very dangerous territory.
What "game," what "system,"
Anonymous replied on
What "game," what "system," who are "they"?
Re: What "game," what "system,"
J. Maureen Henderson replied on
System = manifestation of societal expectations around female sexuality as decided upon, promoted and reinforced by (as I mentioned), the media, religion, education system, Hollywood, historical precedent, etc.
They = anyone who has an interest or capacity or "authority" to exert control over female sexuality through the imposition of norms
Game = the ceaseless process of undermining women's actions, decisions and attitudes towards the expression of their sexuality for the purpose of selling them stuff, preserving the current power structure, etc., etc.
But really, I shouldn't have to spell out basic rhetorical proxies. It's pretty clear from the piece or if you've lived with the paradoxes I've mentioned who all of these terms refer to.
By these definitions doesn't
Anonymous replied on
By these definitions doesn't Bitch Media fall into the role "They"? I mean, this article does tell women what they should be doing with their sexuality.
Tati replied on
I don't think so at all. I see this as an opinion, not a demand. I suppose it depends on the lens a person reads from, but even so, I don't think the opinions here could even go beyond the level of suggestion. Additionally, if it is taken as a suggestion, it is a suggestion in response to a particular situation or desire that might not be shared by everyone. That's just my two cents :)
I think you absolutely do
AZ replied on
I think you absolutely do need to spell out your definition of these terms. I would have defined them completely differently, and I don't think I'm alone. Please don't assume all your readers share your exact worldview.

I was skeptical when I read the title, expected more of the same from the anti-sex feminists, but it basically says that, in order to "win," you have to keep your sex life personal instead of political because someone is going to judge you
My understanding of
AZ replied on
My understanding of "anti-sex feminism" is that it refers to the "feminists" who continue to purport the idea that certain types of sexual expression are wrong, and actively work against those expressions. Many of them also use the same objectifying language as outright sexists do. I think it's important to understand what people mean when they say "anti-sex feminist" lest we risk becoming one of them.
I wouldn't quite describe this article as "anti-sex feminism" but I can understand why someone might get that idea.
And of course no one identifies that way. But they are out there. Oh, are they out there.
But, that definition itself
Jordan Butler replied on
But, that definition itself comes from a selective reading of what certain feminists were/are saying about sex. To my understanding, the idea that those labeled anti-sex feminists consider certain sexual expression "wrong" is often a misconception. And, the point that nobody self-identifies as anti-sex feminists is key to the extent that it's a group of boogiemen. The very idea that they are "out there" has less to do with the existence of people who hold anti-sex beliefs and more to do with anxieties that they do. I question, why does the label exist? Assuming that is applied within feminist circles, what does it get us? Because, it seems like a group of somewhat like-minded people attempting to perpetrate our own "system" and punish those who transgress.
Taking it back to the article, you really do get it from all sides these days.
Any feminist who thinks BDSM
A Cat replied on
Any feminist who thinks BDSM is wrong could fall into the "anti-sex feminist" category. So do the feminists who fight against pornography. Or who judge sex workers. Obviously these feminists don't think all sex is wrong, but they do think some sex is wrong and they condemn these sex acts. hence "anti-sex". I'm sure "anti-some-kinds-of-sex" would be a more accurate name for them but it's a little clumsy.
I personally don't like the term. I don't like "pro-sex" either.
how about starting the "anti-judgment feminists"? Or the pro-sexual freedom feminists? Where are they at?
DemeAK replied on
"Anti-some-kinds-of-sex" certainly is a clumsy way to define "anti-sex feminists". Do you think all manifestations of sex are A-OK, even sexualized violence?
Nor is it remotely appropriate to label the feminists who fight against pornography as "anti-sex". It might be noted that fighting against pornography does not necessarily mean fighting against ALL pornography, but rather might entail fighting against the pornography that is exploitative and misogynistic, which indeed comprises the bulk of mainstream porn.
It might also be noted that feminists who consider prostitution (i.e. the selling and renting of [typically] women's bodies, which is very often coerced) a problem do not necessarily "judge" sex workers. Many of the feminists (e.g. Andrea Dworkin, who is frequently misunderstood and condemned as "anti-sex") who are against pornography and prostitution base their assertions on the experience of having been prostitutes themselves.
I've yet to hear any feminist self-identify as "anti-sex".
I was too pissed
UK Dogging replied on
I was too pissed at seeing yet another feminist tearing down and shaming fellow women, fellow womanists/feminists for their sexual choices, and for basically utterly missing the point behind sex-positivity and at the same time dismissing it entirely out of hand.
There is abundant evidence
Adult Dating Leeds replied on
There is abundant evidence that gender is an important factor in casual sex participation, as males have consistently been found to have significantly more casual sex partners than females. In their sexual relationships, late adolescent males and females both state that emotional investment is a priority. For females, however, emotional investment is far more important then man
Slate article is completely factually inaccurate
Lena Chen replied on
Hi! I organized the Rethinking Virginity conference referred to in the Slate piece and I just wanted to set the record straight. This article was a complete mischaracterization of the conference and of my personal life. I am not and have not ever encouraged people to become abstinent. What the conference did do was interrogate notions of sexual purity and critique the heteronormative sexual standards that lead to the shaming of queer and female sexuality. None of that is made clear in the above piece, which heavily implies that conference attendees were "shamed", when in fact, the only sexual act (of the many discussed) that panelists ever explicitly disapproved of was unprotected, non-monogamous intercourse (because of the public health risks).
For a more accurate take, please refer to the conference website: http://bit.ly/d5LbB5
What most of you are saying is true but doesn't mean that i believe in it tho.

Cougar Releases Budget Cougar-SL Power Supplies
Cougar has released three new power supplies aimed at the budget user.
Cougar is a relatively small company in some parts of the world, but it has regions where it is rather popular due to its pricing assortment. Once again, Cougar has released a lineup of power supplies that are targeted at the budget user. The new series will be given the name "SL."
Cougar's new SL series of power supplies are supposed to be 80 percent efficient in the most ideal situations, with a silent 120 mm fan to dissipate any heat produced. Therefore, it doesn't have an 80+ certificate. According to the manufacturer, the power is delivered to the CPU and the graphics card through the 12 V rail, which automatically divides the power for ideal stable operation. Beyond this, the unit has all the protection circuitry that we can expect, including under-volt protection, over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, as well as overload protection.
The units will be available in three capacities: 400 W, 500 W, and 600 W. So far, there is no word on pricing or availability, but because the unit is from a budget lineup, we can expect a competitive price. Fortunately, they are also rated on a respectable MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 100,000+ hours.

World Peace Cookies
You did an amazing job!!! Those look so great!!!!
yin yang! i love the concept, even if you weren't happy with the flavor and the texture of the plain side…i'm wondering what you could do instead…something very vanilla-ey? hmm.
Amazing!!! I love the way your cookies look. What a creative idea. You must be proud of these babies!
HEY! What do you know… she's had the great idea of really making them peacefull!
Yin and Yang, black and white …Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano keyboard, Oh Lord, why don't weeeeee? LOL LOL LOL
Beautiful and very creative idea Happytummy!
P.s.: Thanks for the compliment about my header! …it changes every month really! I make different ones depending on the monthly holiday or event – Valentine's being obvious this time around! LOL
How creative. I think you're onto something here!
Oh you are so creative! I think they look amazing. I'm sorry they didn't taste better though. I like to play around a little too. Note to self: don't substitute flour for cocoa;)
WOW! I think it's ok that the texture and the flavor wasn't your favorite because of the fact that that is so inventive! I love the yin and yang concept! I would have had absolutely NO patience doing that! Great job!
How creative – even if they didn't come out exactly as planned, they are very pretty. I don't usually like to make things twice, but I make an exception for these cookies!
I love how they look so it's too bad the flavor didn't match up with the appearance! Maybe add maple or almond extract next time?
they are adorable! too bad light side wasn't as good… i'm sure there's something you can substitute instead of flour that i just can't think of right now ;)
Too cool! Love the idea – maybe upping the brown sugar so you get a bit more moisture on the plain side?
Cool idea, and they look great in the pictures! Maybe use a different sable recipe for the white cookie?
these look great, but where is the recipe for them. i would love to make them… maybe i am just blind and missed it…?
nice food……..
I like the patterns in those cookies!
What a great idea! I would have never thought of it. So creative. Remember the NY CCC's? Maybe a little cake flour would do orjust a sable would do the trick. That is if you want to pursue. This was my first time to make them so I stuck with the revered recipe. They were good. They really do look great. Impressive

CBS exex and members of the network's affiliate board will meet tomorrow in Chicago in an attempt to end the ongoing dispute over network compensation, which flared up earlier this year when the network announced it would slash $ 25 million from the amount it pays to affiliates for carrying its programming.The hastily called meeting is the latest stab at settling the disagreement and putting an end to affils' growing animosity toward the web. Tony Malara, president of CBS affiliate relations, confirmed that a meeting would be held tomorrow, but declined to discuss the issue further, citing an agreement not to characterize the talks. CBS announced last spring that it planned to cut its total compensation pool by $ 25 million. The new comp plan called for stations in the largest TV markets to lose 25% of their annual compensation, with those in smaller markets seeing comp cut by a smaller percentage. In addition to the compensation, CBS said it would hold back some advertising time in its morning program and on weekends. "The response from stations I've talked to," said an affiliate exec who requested anonymity, "was this offer better be good." The exec added that the meeting could be the first break in the dispute. From the moment the new comp plan was announced, affiliates have complained loudly and threatened to increase preemptions, which is a dirty word in the network TV business. Moreover, affils in Texas and in the Midwest have banded together in attempts to create programming consortiums to buy programming and news to be used to preempt network programs.

Wireless Takes San Francisco to Court
A new city ordinance requiring retailers to display how much radiation cell phones give off is causing quite a stir with the wireless industry.
This year, legislators in Maine and San Francisco considered bills that would advise cell phone users about the radiation emitted from their phones, which some think could contribute to a higher risk of cancer. The bill in Maine requiring warning labels on the risks of radiation didn't pass, but San Francisco's ordinance did, and the city is now facing fallout from the wireless industry.
Since the city's Board of Supervisors approved the ordinance, which requires retailers to display how much radiation a phone gives off, the industry trade group known as CTIA -- The Wireless Association announced it will move its yearly trade show to San Diego after this year and recently filed a lawsuit against the city claiming that the ordinance is unconstitutional.
CTIA claims that San Francisco's ordinance, which goes into effect next year, impedes on the Federal Communications Commission's authority to regulate cell phones. The FCC doesn't allow any phones that emit a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of more than 1.6 watts per kilogram when placed near the head to go to market. The ordinance would require the phone's SAR, the "maximum allowable SAR value" allowed by the FCC, a statement on what SAR is and details on where to find more information about it be displayed in store.
"The San Francisco ordinance, by conveying a misleading impression about the relative safety of wireless phones, will hinder -- rather than assist -- consumers in making their choices," said John Walls, CTIA's vice president of public affairs in a statement.
It will be interesting to see how the lawsuit unfolds. Features in magazines like GQ and Harper's have focused on potential links between cell phone use and cancer risks, but there needs to be more research -- the results from a recent UN study on this link were deemed inconclusive. That said, it wouldn't be unreasonable if someone wanted to take precautions.
Regardless of the constitutionality of the San Francisco ordinance, there are things people can do if finding and buying a low SAR phone is important to them -- remember, the FCC already regulates what is a safe SAR value. For those who want to learn how much radiation a cell phone emits, you could go to the FCC's database and input the FCC ID number for your phone or the phone you want to buy. Groups like the Environmental Working Group also have safety tips for people who are concerned about their exposure, including buying a headset.

Wear is the progressive loss of material from a body caused by contact and relative movement and is a major concern in both engineering and biology. Advances in nanotechnology have allowed the origins of wear processes to be studied at the atomic and molecular scale, but also demand that wear in nanoscale systems can be predicted and controlled. Here, we show that wear also occurs in an in vitro system consisting of microtubules gliding across a surface coated with kinesin-1 motor proteins, and that energetic considerations suggest a molecule-bymolecule removal of tubulin proteins.
Should inventors control the fate of their own inventions? In the US, most universities think not. But, as Emmanuel Dumont explains, the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech in New York City bets otherwise.

|Panacis, Inc. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|ELECTROACTIVE BALLISTIC PROTECTION SYSTEM - A ballistic protection system combines electrical storage and/or electrical generation features, including at least one layer of material which provides ballistic protection and at least one layer of material which is electrically active.
|System and Method for Assuring Operational Readiness of a Mission Critical Battery Having a Long Storage Period - A system and method for ensuring the readiness of a mission critical battery in a device, the system includes a rechargeable battery as the mission critical battery disposed within the device slaved to a primary charging battery through a charge controller both of which are disposed outside of the device. The charge controller is programmed to ensure that the primary charging battery delivers a charge to the mission critical battery to maintain the mission critical battery at a charge level for maximized long term storage. The storage charge level may be 50% of the full charge level of the mission critical battery. The charge controller will receive a mission signal when the device is to be mission ready. The charge controller will then transfer the appropriate amount of stored energy from the primary charging battery to the mission critical battery to achieve full charge.
|System for Power Balance Monitoring in Batteries - A system for power balance monitoring in an energy storage battery comprising a plurality of energy modules connected in a series-parallel configuration. The energy storage module comprises a plurality of cells. Each module is a three-terminal module. The three terminals comprise a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal for connecting the modules in a series string to a load and an energy sharing terminal for sharing energy between modules is other battery strings. A module power management sub-system comprising a current monitoring circuit is connected to each of the energy sharing terminals. Each module power management sub-system is in communication with a battery power management sub-system so that a weak module can be detected based on module current output. Advantageously, the module power management sub-system is not connected across the main power pathway of the module and so does not appreciably increase module impedance.
|METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY STOPPING A WIND TURBINE - A system and method for stopping a wind turbine in a battery charging circuit includes a step to terminate battery charging by opening a first switch between an electrical generator coupled to the wind turbine and the battery. A second switch between the electrical generator output terminals is then closed in order to short the generator, create a drag on the wind turbine and ultimately stop its rotation. The signal to open the first switch is generated by a battery charge monitor which when sensing a full charge on the battery will open the first switch and close the second switch. In another embodiment, there is a wind turbine auto stop signal generator connected to the battery monitor to close the second switch upon receipt of a signal indicating full battery charge from the battery monitor. In yet another embodiment there is a remotely located control computer networked to the battery monitor and the wind turbine auto stop signal generator. In still another embodiment the computer is able to receive data inputs from a variety of sources, such as weather services, to assess conditions dangerous to wind turbine operation.
|Modular Share Pack Battery - Described is an energy share pack comprising a housing, at least one energy storage component within the housing, at least one energy conversion component within the housing, and a connection point for connecting to more than one of energy users, energy sources and other energy share packs simultaneously for sharing energy. The energy share pack may have an energy generation component for generating harvestable energy, and two or more ports of any combination of the following types: bidirectional power port, bidirectional USB port, unidirectional output power port, and unidirectional input power port. The share pack ports may operate simultaneously at different voltage levels, and at least one port may be bi-directional. Furthermore, the share packs may have an integrated display for providing information on the energy share pack in which the display is integrated and information about other energy share packs connected thereto.
|SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INTEGRATED BATTERY CHARGING AND BALANCING - A system and method is provided that allows the cells making up a battery pack to be kept at equal energy storage levels through the use of active re-distribution of the energy in each cell through a bi-directional transformer coupling means that will allow balancing to occur during charging, discharging, bulk charging, parallel charging or idle states.
|INTEGRATED MULTI-PHASE PLANAR TRANSFORMER - An n-phase transformer includes a core structure having a polygonal top plate and a polygonal bottom plate and n winding posts disposed symmetrically between the top and bottom plate. The primary and secondary winding loops are integrated into printed circuit boards which are then stacked over the posts in laminate fashion between the top and bottom plate.

CENTREVILLE, Va. (WJLA) - Ten months after Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, the D.C. area is feeling the impact on car lots.{}
As{}Sandy's storm water submerged hundreds of thousands of{}vehicles, many of them dried out and drove south.{}Those "Sandy cars" are now being{}fixed up and re-sold, and they can range from a bad investment all the way to downright dangerous.{}
"We have evidence that Sandy cars are back on the road throughout the United States," says Chris Basso of Carfax.
Sandy cars, many of which are rotting from the inside out, are being sold to unsuspecting buyers.
Carfax estimates 212,000 flood cars are on the nation's roads today. Virginia ranks 10th overall when it comes to the percentage of flood cars, possibly because of its proximity to the hardest hit areas of New York and New Jersey. Maryland ranks 26th. An estimated 10,000 flood cars are found in the Washington area.{}
Auto technician Mike Zentmayer dreads having to tell a customer they have a floor car.
"They think they got a great deal on a car when it turns out it really is not{}that great of a deal," he says.
Still, Zentmayer doesn't hesitate to tell customers because he says it's a safety issue.
"Maybe the SRS system, the airbag system, doesn't work properly. Brake lines rust out, the car won't stop," he says.
Many flood cars end up in scrap yards and have their exterior parts salvaged. The rest end up in junk yards.{}

The European Commission's science and knowledge service
Sustainable development stands for meeting the needs of present generations without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Social, economic and environmental issues are inseparable and interdependent.
The EU has mainstreamed sustainable development policies through the EU Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS), and the Environmental Technologies Action Plan for which sustainable consumption and production (SCP) is a priority, also highlighted in Europe 2020 strategy. SCP is in this context aimed at promoting economic growth and social cohesion without impairing environmental quality.
JRC supports such this objective through analysis of the relations between technological change, scientific developments, environment, economy and policy approaches. For that, it produces techno-economic analysis of technological options and socio-economic analyses based in analytical modelling.
Industrial production processes account for a considerable share of the overall pollution in Europe. The EU has a set of common rules for controlling industrial installations described in the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU (IED). The JRC manages The European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Bureau which produces reference documents on Best Available Techniques, used by competent authorities in EU member states when issuing operating permits.
More information Best Available Techniques
As contribution to the Environmental Technologies Action Plan the JRC produces techno-economic research on the environmental performance of products, sectors and production processes in order to sustain on evidence-based analysis indications on environmental policies. It also identifies the best environmental management practices – measures or actions that allow organisations to minimise their impact on the environment—of frontrunner organisations in different sectors to help other organisations to detect and replicate them.
More information Best environmental management practice
In support to the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC), and the Resource Efficiency Roadmap, the JRC has developped a set of guidance documents on how to use Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in waste management decision making. The guidance documents can be found on the Life Cycle Thinking website.
The JRC is also in charge of the development of end-of-waste criteria wich includes proposing the definition of end-of-waste criteria, developing a methodology to assess it and applying it to a number of materials. More information: Waste and recycling
Development of the Environmental Footprint methods supports the Communication on Sustainable Consumption and Production and Sustainable Industrial Policy and the Resource Efficiency Roadmap, by establishing a common methodological approach to enable Member States and the private sector to assess, display and benchmark the environmental performance of products, services and companies based on a comprehensive assessment of environmental impacts over the life-cycle.The JRC contributed to the technical guidance documents for the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) and the Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF).
The JRC's input-output economics investigates through analytical modelling the impacts at regional, national or international level of different policies on variables such as gross domestic product, employment, consumption, productivity as well as on the environment. To this end, JRC develops tools for analysis complemented with an environmental database.

Hi Ladies!
We are currently IN Germany in the Heidelberg area. Due to the speeding up of the closure of our base, we will be moving to K-town (Dh based out of Sembach) area at the end of the school year (hopefully... we could very well be moving during the school year AGAIN depending on Dh's command... GAH!).
We will be living off post, and I want to get a feel for the schools, so I have a rough idea of where to look for a home. I will be talking to each of the schools, but I want the opinions of the PARENTS, kwim? I know the kind of BS the school wants to spoon feed you and I need as objective a picture as i can get.
DS (8) needs a strong academic school (or at least one that has a good Gifted program), but that also has a good Special Needs program as he has Aspergers and Adhd. He has an IEP with accomodations that include a classroom aide and pull outs for various therapies and enrichment. He will be in 3rd grade next year.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi, a friend of mine wants me to fix some wood molded windows on the corners of the frame, specially the ones on the washroom. At first I thought it should be so easy just to sand away the bumps caused by the mold apply some plaster and paint but, I'm wondering if this would be a long fixing since, I think, mold will come up again soon. I should say that a suggested him to replace the windows for maybe composite PVC frames but he doesn't want spend much because is selling de house. Does anyone here know what should I use to kill the fungus? someone recommended me to spray bleach on it. Does any of you had that experience with windows or doors?

Paint them with Kilz mildew-resistant paint. The washroom is likely getting mildew b/c of the humidity causing condensation on the window pane.
Unfortunately once mold gets into wood etc. it cannot be removed so you will have to take it out or encapsulate it with a product like KILZ. I would suggest using a disinfectant spray like Sporicidin, a wire brush and a HEPA vacuum first before encapsulating it. This way you will help ensure that the mold is actually gone before painting it. Good Luck.

Cover fits perfectly. It's very sturdy and strong. Although I've only had it on a few days, I've noticed my MPG has increased.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
This is the only cover you should buy. Easy install, great fit,looks fantastic,no leaks. I purchased this for my Honda Ridgeline and it fits like it was custom made for the truck! Bravo Access!
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
Love it! Easy Installation and looks great!
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
Fit perfect. Easy to install. Instructions were right on the mark. Quality product. Shipping and packaging were great. Will keep your site on my favorites should I need anything else. Thank you.
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
Meets my expectations.
Install Time: Under 30 minutes
I have had 2 Access tonneau covers for previously owned pick-ups. They hold up well and do a decent job of protecting contents in bed. Don't expect a waterproof seal as some water always makes it's way in around rails.
Install Time: 1-2 hours
I ordered my cover on a Sunday and it was delivered on Wed which I thought was fantastic. Installation was pretty easy. It does take a couple set of hands when you have the bed rails like I do. the directions are ok at best. Once installed the cover looks great.
Install Time: 1-2 hours
As this is my third Access cover, it was very easy to install and I am sure it will perform as well as my previous covers.
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
Worth the money. Looks good,easy to install, easy to open and close, easy to adjust the tension. Really dresses up my truck.
Install Time: 30-60 minutes
Attractive Design, Lightweight, Durable and No Drilling required. Easy To Install, time to install was less than two hours, one hour of that was prep work, Verifying everything was in the shipment, that I had the proper tools and that I understood the instructions. Only complaint, the Honda bolts that fasten the rails to the bed are metric while the bolts and nuts on the Access cover are SAE.

Inguinal Hernia: Surgery in Adults - Topic Overview
Adults need to have inguinal hernia repair surgery in the following situations.
- Hernias that contain a loop of intestine without blood supply (strangulated hernias) require emergency surgery.
- Hernias that contain a trapped loop of intestine (incarcerated hernias) need to be repaired as soon as possible to avoid strangulation. Surgery may be scheduled when it is convenient if strangulation does not appear likely.
- In healthy adults, hernias that can be pushed back into the abdomen and are not causing discomfort or pain can be repaired when it is convenient. In some cases small, painless hernias may never need to be repaired.
The following people may not be able to have hernia surgery or may choose not to have surgery.
Recommended Related to Digestive Disorders
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria. These germs can enter your body and live in your digestive tract. After many years, they can cause sores, called ulcers, in the lining of your stomach or the upper part of your small intestine. For some people, an infection can lead to stomach cancer. Infection with H. pylori is common. About two-thirds of the world's population has it in their bodies. For most people, it doesn't cause ulcers or any other symptoms. If you do have...
Read the What Is H. pylori? article > >
- People with chronic illnesses may decide against surgery if hernias are not incarcerated or strangulated. It usually is appropriate to repair a hernia. But a balance of length of life, how much the hernia is bothering you, and your wishes will be taken into account.
- People with cirrhosis often have fluid in the abdomen (ascites) that increases abdominal pressure and causes the hernia to recur after it is repaired. Some surgeons advise people with cirrhosis not to have hernia surgery.
- Men who have extreme difficulty urinating because of an enlarged prostate should have the prostate problem fixed before having hernia repair surgery.
- People who have had radiation treatments to the groin area may have poor healing and a higher risk of the hernia coming back.

How to Lose Weight Without Starving Yourself
Many people use diets that require you to take in less calories in order to lose weight. Well, that works but there are other ways to lose weight and stay healthy at the same time.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Go out to your local drugstore or GNC and buy some pills that contain Omega-3 and fatty acids. Now just because it says fatty acid on it doesn't mean that it will make you fat. In fact, it does the opposite. The fish oil in those capsules makes it easier for the extra body fat to be burned off while you're exercising. Rather than storing it, it will be burned off as fuel for your body.
2Drink green tea. Green tea comes in many forms, including capsules. You can also find it in Vitamin Water "Rescue" made by Glacéau. Green tea helps to boost your metabolism to increase your weight loss potential.
3Eat healthy. If you have a bowl of ice cream after a meal every day, try replacing it with something else. Even low fat or not-fat ice cream would work.
4Buy a protein bar. Find one containing Creatine (a nitrogenous organic acid.) If you have a good amount of protein in your diet, and build muscle, you are burning fat while also gaining muscle!
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Think forward to the future... a slimmer you. Don't start to pig out in the middle of eating healthy, just because you miss eating REAL mayo instead of light. Just keep focused on losing the weight, and you'll be much happier in the end.
- Get as much exercise as possible. The more exercise, the better, but you should get at least 30 minutes of a cardio workout per day.
- If you decide to use creatine as an aid for muscle gain, check out this website (www.bodybuilding-supplement-guide.com/creatine-dosage.html) or ask your doctor for dosage instructions. Some side effects of using too much can include muscle cramping, occasionally diarrhea, and nausea.
- Don't take more than the recommended dose for the Omega-3. Even though it helps in fat burning, it's not good for you to take too much.

"I ordered personalized address labels for our little man who has a 1st birthday coming up and sends monthly "letters" to his grandparents. They are the perfect amount of cute and with large font for even grandparent's to read. The only bummer is the light blue upper portion of the labels are extremely faint. You can barely see the blue. I would still re-order these though, I really like them."
"These were very pretty and nice for the price. The spacing for the default font for the name is a bit odd when using an ampersand, but other than that, beautiful labels."
"Much nicer than I thought it would be. I should have expected nothing less from past experience when we ordered address labels and gift tags for our daughter's 16th birthday party. Great job. Thank you."
"I loved the idea of matching my return address labels to the personalized notecard, but was a little less than pleased with the paper/print quality for the price. Next time I'll do it myself."
"I love these starry frame labels that I purchased. The stars make it fun and the colors are so beautiful and bright. Looks great on an envelope! And they arrived so fast!"

When you've got prime NBA real estate — in this case, a just-about-courtside seat right between TNT play-by-play man Kevin Harlan and color commentator Chris Webber for a nationally televised contest between the Portland Trail Blazers and New York Knicks — you are just about 100 percent certain to get on camera. I've never been in that position, but I have to imagine it makes you feel very powerful; knowing that anything you do there has to be televised, because it would take at least a second for a producer to cut away to a different shot, especially in the middle of the announcers' open to the broadcast, must be an intoxicating feeling.
Of course, as Spider-Man's origin story has taught generations of children over the years, with great power comes great responsibility. How did this gentleman choose to exercise his power on Thursday night? Um, not so responsibly:
And just like that, scores of parents changed the channel and refused to let their children watch the nightcap, lest the broadcast teach their kids that it's OK to do other gross stuff in public, too (looking at you, Clipping Your Toenails On The Train). That's a bummer, because it means they missed Rookie-of-the-Year-in-waiting Damian Lillard dropping 26 points and 10 dimes on an undermanned and outshined Knicks squad en route to a 105-90 Blazers win. Now that's something every child should get to see.
The win was Portland's first in three games and handed the Knicks their fourth loss in five outings. I don't know for sure, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that our pregame hero picked the appropriate winner. He seems pretty good at that.
Also, here's hoping that wink doesn't haunt all of us all day Friday.

Most of the years Dhanno was growing up, I snoozed in bed, while Teja prepared her breakfast, packed her tiffin, sent her off to school. He is the one who waited with her for the school bus, then a few years later, drove her to her new school in the next block, and then later, said bye to her at the door as she walked off to school on her own.
Long break tiffins were usually leftover pasta, rajma-chawal, or pau-bhaji from dinner, potato-cheese-chutney sandwiches, jam and roti rolls, or the occasional 'get a vada pav from the canteen'. Small break tiffins were unimaginatively biscuits or dry fruit or a fruit or sometimes a slice of cake.
For years, Teja and I spoke, while we perambulated one or the other of the gardens near our house, "Once Dhanno is 18, we will…." We would travel, we would be free, we would do what we liked, we would be bored, we would cry our hearts out.
When Dhanno did turn 18, for one, she reared her heels in, and refused to leave for a hostel like any self-respecting, fed-up-of-my-parents teenager should. She likes her orange room too much.
After a considerable amount of stress, she did get into a good college in Bumm-Bumm-Bhole-Land and we were jumping around to "Yahoo!"
Then what do you know, but in a week's time, she began falling ill. And ill. And ill. And ill. She lost a lot of weight, she fainted a couple of times, she had no strength even to get out of bed at times.
I took her to a nutritionist.
Now, we have a regime. Four tiffins, big bottle of water with electrolyte salts, extra juice or chaas in her bag.
Finally, she goes to a college where there are no text books or note books. She has a locker for her instruments. But she still has a huge haversack for all the food she needs to carry.
Evenings are spent in preparing meals large enough for dinner and a mini-lunch tiffin and a big-lunch tiffin for the next day. Then there is the tiffin she has to sneakily consume in the middle of a classroom lecture. And the tiffin she has to eat after college, before she heads back home. After dinner, we rest for a while before we begin the task of packing all the tiffins. In the morning, we wake up to make her breakfast. During the day, we check the fridge and the shelves to see what we are running out of, and what we need to load up on for the next few days.
A long, long time ago, when Dhanno was very little, and life was a round of feeding her and cleaning her poo, I said to a friend of mine, "This too shall pass." 18 years later, I am a feeding machine once again.
Not to mention the fact, that I feel guilty-Mom all over again, for all the tiffins I did not pack while she was in school.
As soon as I saw alu chutney sandwich, I wanted to come comment but thought I'd better read the rest of the post first. Poor Dhanno and poor you. Big hugs all round.
And I envy you – was there ever a time when you escaped that sense of guilt? Tell me how!
Awwww… Dhannmo will be better soon and you can party with her!!
i can feel your mommy guilt. but see, you got your redemption now. as much as you are diligent about the tiffins, i hope you dont have to do this for a long time. i hope she is on her way to beating it.
I hope Dhanno is much better,; sending her many, many best wishes. I went through that phase when I was eighteen.😦
And you now have me craving the alu and chutney sandwiches from Bombay streets! (They were supremely awesome. India has some of the best street food in the world.)
This sounds like real hard work — so many tiffins! But I hope it helps and Dhanno gains strength. We have been neglecting the child's tiffin too, but mostly because we have no control over her eating in school. She chooses to not as much as touch the food if I try to put in something healthy. So biscuits and cakes it is!
I hope she gets well really soon and builds up her resistance really well. And you can just ignore the guilt- useless, omnipresent thing that it is. Big hugs to you all.
