Survivable Optical Networks Enabled by Passive Routing Devices
October 20, 2011 | 4:00pm | Harold Frank Hall, Room 4164
Co-Presented with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Survivable passive optical networks are desirable for applications in environments that are vulnerable and where providing power to the network infrastructure is difficult. Some examples include: a network that has been rapidly deployed for disaster recovery, where network fibers are likely not well protected; a network deployed near an area of hostility, where the network is subject to physical attack and where delivering power to the core of the network is not possible; and a network within a military aircraft or other mobile platform where survivability is essential and where having a passive infrastructure is highly desirable to minimize power requirements. Such networks can be realized by interconnecting passive optical routing devices, e.g., arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) routers, with optical fibers to form various network topologies of desirable routing and survivability requirements. Although standard AWGs can be used to realize various useful network topologies, other more desirable networking requirements require more general routing devices. This seminar addresses the desirable architectural requirements of such passive optical networks, and, most importantly, the corresponding requirements they place on generalized passive optical routing devices.Most recently, the direct synthesis of a three-dimensional foam-like graphene structure by CVD was realized, yielding materials known as graphene foams (GFs) [9]. A GF consists of an interconnected network of graphene, which is flexible and offers fast transport channels for charge carriers, thus yielding high electrical and thermal conductivity. Even with a GF loading of as low as 0.5 wt %, GF/poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) composites exhibit a very high electrical conductivity of 10 S/cm, which is 6 orders of magnitude higher than chemically derived graphene-based materials. Using the unique network structure and outstanding electrical and mechanical properties of GFs, as an example, the great potential of GF/PDMS materials is demonstrated as flexible, foldable, and stretchable elastic conductors.
Dr. Saleh is a Researcher in the ECE Department at UCSB, since October 2011. He most recently was a Program Manager at DARPA, from 2005 to 2011, where he initiated research in various areas of optical networking. Previously, he was: a Founding Partner of Monarch Network Architects, 2003-2004; Chief Scientist and Vice President of Network Architecture of Kirana Networks, 2002-2003; Vice President and Chief Network Architect of Corvis Corporation, 1999-2002; Department Head at AT&T Bell Labs / AT&T Labs Research, Holmdel and Murray Hill, NJ, 1991-1999, conducting and leading research on optical backbone and access networks; and Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Labs, Crawford Hill Lab, 1970-1991, conducting research on microwave, wireless and optical communications systems. Between 1992 and 1999, he led the AT&T effort on several cross-industry DARPA-funded consortia that pioneered the vision of all-optical networking in backbone, regional, metro and access networks.He was a Member, then Chair of the OFC Networks Subcommittee, 1995-1998; Technical Program Co-Chair, OFC 1999; General Program Co-Chair, OFC 2001; and OFC Steering Committee Member, 2001-2006.

A 20-year-old man was arrested Thursday in the murder of a teen who was shot multiple times outside an apartment building where his girlfriend lived.
Micki Antonio Brown, Jr., of Ridgeland Avenue in Macon, was arrested shortly before 9:45 a.m. and charged with murder in the death of 19-year-old Majesty Jaques Conover, according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office. He was arrested near the Neighborhood Grocery Store at 2675 Montpelier Ave., the sheriff's spokesman Lt. Sean DeFoe said.
Still, investigators have not yet released a motive for the murder. And at least one more person is believed to be involved in Conover's shooting, which happened late Wednesday night at the Colonial Terrace Apartments.
Around 11:15 p.m. someone called to report a person shot at the complex at 3775 Houston Ave., DeFoe said. When deputies arrived they found Conover with multiple gunshot wounds outside his girlfriend's apartment building, officials said.
The teen, who lived on Case Street in Macon, had been shot in the torso and chest with a handgun, according to the Bibb County Coroner. Conover was transported to the Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 12:43 a.m. Coroner Leon Jones said.
Witnesses told investigators that they saw two men arguing with Conover just before he was shot, DeFoe said. The suspects then fled the scene in a newer model dark-colored Honda, the spokesman said.
It's unclear what the three were arguing about and it was also unclear where Conover's girlfriend was at the time of the shooting.
Brown was being held in the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center without bond Friday, according to jail records.
Anyone with information in reference to this incident is urged to contact the Bibb Sheriff's Office at (478) 751-7500 and ask to speak with an "on-call" investigator or call Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at (877) 682-7463.

Multi-Arm Floor Lamps
- 1
- 2
Why We Love Multi-Arm Floor Lamps
Multi-light floor lamps perform two tasks at once -- they provide ambient light for brightening the overall room and they offer focused light (in the form of an adjustable task lamp) when reading light or project work illumination is needed. These can be independently controlled handing you even more freedom in addition to the multi-arm light fixture's portability and versatility.
Where Multi-Light Floor Lamps Work Best
Wherever your favorite reading lounge chair is located--that's where a multi-light floor lamp is meant to be. Most often that's in the living room, but this could be the reading nook or the home office as well. These types of multi-bulb floor lamps contribute to the cozy nature of these places in the home, warming them with their ambient light and making them more useful with their focused light. You'll also appreciate a multi-light floor lamp in the bedroom, where it can complement the light from an overhead ceiling light or the table lamps one either side of the bed. Whether for general, ambient light or focused task lighting, you'll find that this style of floor lamp is a great option.
A Multi-Light Floor Lamp for Every Style
This collection of multi-arm lamps is able to fit a wide variety of interior design styles. From traditional living rooms to completely updated and modern home office spaces, you'll find a multi-light floor lamp that fits your decor. Floor lamps with multiple points of light come in a variety of sizes and shapes. For a modern 5-light floor lamp, you will want to see the offering from Foscarini. And for a 3-light floor lamp, a customer favorite is the Jonathan Adler Havana Floor Lamp. The Havana Lamp by Jonathan Adler is the ideal fixture for mid-century modern or retro-inspired spaces as its style is similar to lighting from the 1950s. Finally, if you prefer an energy efficient light fixture, be sure to see the LED multi-arm floor lamps available.
How to Choose the Best Multi-Light Floor Lamp
Similar to choosing any lamp or lighting for your home, you will want to properly measure the space where you plan to place the fixture. With a multi-arm lamp, you will need to make sure your space can accommodate the fixture's adjustable arm reach. You can also review a floor lamp's sizing dimensions including its height, width, diameter and length to find the best size appropriate for your room. And be sure to see the lamp's bulb options to determine if you will need a halogen light bulb, incandescent light bulb or LED light bulb. If you have any questions about the floor lamps featured here, please call our lighting experts at 877.445.4486.
Other Great Options
If you love the style of a multi-light floor lamp, you may like a similarly designed ceiling light in the form of a multi-light pendant. This type of pendant light has multiple light sources, much like that of a floor lamp with multiple arms. And be sure to check out our selection of reading lights for other ways to add lighting to your reading space that are mounted directly to the wall. Last but not least, if you can't find the fixture you are looking for in this assortment, be sure to browse the complete selection of modern floor lamps.

FireBird 2 - now available for free!After eight years of faithful service, the time has come to set the bird free. Firebird itself has become vintage and even though it's no longer profitable to remain a commercial product, we feel that more people should deserve an opportunity to enjoy this sometimes heavily underestimated synthesizer.Which is why we decided to release one last update and turn the product into freeware (previuosly $79). We want to say a big THANK YOU to all customers who supported the development of Firebird and other Tone2 products, by purchasing our software.Please feel free to share Firebird 2 with all your friends! We hope you'll enjoy working with Firebird for many more years.Unique & innovativeFirebird is not just another subtractive synthesizer, it uses a unique synthesis architecture to deliver next-generation sounds. Its innovative user interface provides you with the tools to create impressive sounds with a minimal amount of effort. Featuring an impressive selection of 437 build-in sounds, representing both highly sought-after VA sounds, as well as sounds more specific to Firebird and characterized by its Harmonic Content Morphing synthesis, breathing both life and dynamics into the sounds.Harmonic Content Morphing (HCM) synthesisHarmonic Content Morphing synthesis is based on a large, expandable repertoire of standard waves, like saw, pulse, as well as more complex wave material, like multi-waves, trumpets, organs, pads, pianos and voice samples.These waves are modified in real-time, by for example transposing the wave by one or two octaves and adding it to the original wave, altering its harmonic structure, syncing, compressing or even expanding the frequency domain of the spectrum. Making the wave for example sound more fat using only one oscillator, transforming each wave into a hyper-wave or selecting some cycles of a sample and moving through them over time (comparable to wavetable synthesis).Any modification of a wave can be modulated producing lively shimmery sounds (remember: using only one oscillator!) With a total of more than 18,000 different spectra available for combination and modulation, Firebird+ gives an almost unlimited amount of timbres to experiment with.Features
OscillatorsFireBird provides 84 different morphable oscillator types in high sound quality. They sound warm, digital, transparent or completely unique. Additionally 23 spectral manipulations or "modifiers" can be applied to the oscillators. A fat knob doubles or quadruples the number of oscillators giving up to 8 oscillators per voice. FiltersFireBird comes with 38 different sounding filter types:Lowpass (6-40dB), Analog, Moog, Vocal, Phaser, Comb, EQ, FM, AM, Resample, Elliptic, ...FireBird+ provides also more complex characteristics for vocal or M-shape filters. Finally, it gives you ADSR- or LFO-modulated phaser-effects, AM- or FM-modulation. EffectsFireBird offeres 13 different effect types. The effects section has several reverb and stereo tab delay variations, chorus, ensemble, flanger, and rotary effects as well as combinations.Firebird comes with an easy-to-use arpeggiator. ExpandabilityA huge number of additional sounds from Tone2 and 3rd party sound designers is available for FireBird+.System requirementsWindows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 , Processor with more than 400 Mhz
Still not convinced?"...FireBird offers a fresh sound, is easy to use and comes with a new kind of synthesis... the new synthesis method convinces completely...excellent sound...You can create completely new sounds with a few parameter changes... sound design is real fun and offers great results... Don't miss to try!""Editor's recommendation, 6 from 6 points... Really impressive work ... Tone2 managed to make a complex technology intuitively usable." "FireBird is an excellent little synth...captable of producing a wide variety of sounds...versatile synthesis engine.."

No. 15 Duke Advances To Second Round With 4-1 Win Over Ole Miss
No. 15 Duke defeated No. 37 Ole Miss, 4-1 in the first round of the NCAA Championships.
May 11, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas – Despite playing seemingly from behind, No. 15 Duke cruised to a 4-1 win over No. 37 Ole Miss in the first round of the NCAA Women's Tennis Championships at the McLeod Tennis Center on the campus of Texas Tech University.
Duke, who entered the NCAA Championships with only five healthy players available for the first and second rounds, began the day forfeiting No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles, giving Ole Miss a quick point to start the day.
Early in doubles, it looked like the Rebels might pick up the second point, as the tandem of #40 Caroline Rode-Moe and Marija Milutinovic to a 3-1 lead on Duke's Marianna Jodoin and Annie Mulholland, but the Blue Devels battled back to tie it 3-3 and take an eventual 8-5 win at No. 2 doubles.
The Blue Devils' Mary Clayton and Hanna Mar then topped Erin Stephens and Iris Verboven, 9-7 at No. 1 to secure the point for Duke and even the score, 1-1.
Duke's #106 Mary Clayton picked up the second Blue Devil point with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Ole Miss' Julia Jones at No. 2. She was followed in short order by Marianne Jodoin's upset of #125 Mai El Kamash, 6-3, 6-1 to give the Blue Devils a 3-1 lead.
No. 29 Hanna Mar closed out the match for Duke with a victory over No. 45 Caroline Rohde-Moe, 6-4, 6-1.
The Blue Devils advance to face either No. 17 Texas Tech or No. 71 College of Charleston at 1 p.m. CT at the McLeod Tennis Center on Sunday.

Kim Kardashian West tried to be wittily sarcastic, on what pregnant women should wear, but her answer backfired.
Ellie interviewed Kim, Khloe and Kourtney as they hosted an event in New Jersey for future military mothers who are pregnant while their husbands are deployed. In the interview, she was asked what sort of fashion pregnant women should wear. Kim's answer was, "I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style. That's what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house." When Khloe told Kim that wasn't practical to give another answer, Kim responded with, "That's really my recommendation. Wear a huge blanket."
Us Weekly explained Kim's answer might have been based on her own experiences while she was pregnant with North. She didn't hide in the house or under a blanket. She saved the blanket for North whenever she took her out in public. Kim frequently went out in public and attended gala occasions. Reporters kept remarking on the amount of weight she gained along with the figure hugging style of clothes she wore.
As the backlash of angry comments poured out over her advice to other pregnant mothers, Kim took to Twitter to explain her remarks. She posted, "I guess you can't be sarcastic when doing interviews! I was asked about tips on pregnancy style....."
Kim continued in another post, "I jokingly said pregnant woman should hide/stay in if they looked like I did lol. I said ask Kourt her tips bc she has the best preg style"
So what does Kim advise herself to do on future interviews? Her solution was " I really should start video taping the interviews I do & post on my website so u can see the laughs & how it's really said"
During the interview, Kim admitted to still wearing A Pea in the Pod tank tops when she works out. She likes them because they are really long.
Was Kim really joking or does she really believe that pregnant women should hide in the house and wear a blanket? Perhaps that is why the rumors are circulating that Kim is quitting the TV reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," because she is pregnant with her second child. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in this ever changing story.

Q | Can you give an example of how a woman might compose a goal map?
A | Look at the map on the left. Note that the starting point, at the bottom of the chart, is specific and nonjudgmental: "Weight: 167 pounds" rather than "I hate my thighs." The mapmaker's goal, written at the top of the page, is simple and positive: to weigh 140 pounds. She's come up with three possible pathways to achieve that. Her main one, "Create a calorie deficit" is flanked by two routes: "Attend Weight Watchers" and "Increase healthy eating." By visualizing each route, she's been able to anticipate the potential obstacles that could block her way. "Can't get out to the gym" and "Can't get motivated" both sit squarely across her main pathway, potentially derailing her plan to burn more calories. Instead of giving up on the pathway, however, she now comes up with strategies ("Wii Fit or walking in neighborhood" and "Find workout partner") that will circumvent the obstacle and put her back on the pathway to her goal.
Q | Supposing you follow all these steps but still can't make progress in meeting your goals. Won't that leave you feeling even more hopeless?
A | Let's be clear. Sometimes we need someone to help us. Find a support system, whether that's a psychologist or social worker, a church group, a book club, a diet group or a personal trainer at the gym. I'm not a proponent of always having to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. It can be incredibly useful to have somebody give you a little agency boost.
I'd also recommend a 1999 book called Making Hope Happen: A Workbook for Turning Possibilities into Reality, by Diane McDermott and C. R. Snyder. You can find new or used copies online. We used the book as a basis for our study, and I think it's a good starting point for anyone trying the self-help approach.

Many people who study or casually read about Taoism will at some point come across several principles and concepts which are considered important to the Taoist system.
Some of the more popular principles are: Wu-wei, Tao and Te, Lao Tzu's three treasures, and P'u, to name just a few. As mentioned in prior articles, more often than not these concepts are presented to the world by people who lack a full understanding of the Taoist philosophy and the many meanings of the Chinese characters, especially ancient Taoist characters. This is one of the reasons that direct literal translations of ancient Chinese texts will not reveal the true or even partial meaning and message. As a result, many of the well known principles of Taoism are misunderstood, even by practitioners, perhaps especially by practitioners.
This article will explore the concept of P'u (朴, simplified Chinese and 樸, traditional Chinese). P'u lends itself as a great example of why a complete understanding of Taoism is important when, not only translating texts, but even more important when discussing and teaching the varied disciplines of Taoism.
P'u is often translated as the "uncarved block", and has appeared in many variations in its own right. Many people have discussed the concept of the uncarved block in great length and breadth, especially in Academia, where there is no shortage for exhaustive discussions of misunderstood information. Most people will tell you that the uncarved block means to leave things in their natural state, or for people to return to their natural state. People will poetically describe how children are born as uncarved blocks and that P'u is the eastern concept of Tabula Rasa (blank slate) or vice versa.
They are correct that P'u is one of the highest principles of Taoism and that it is referring to a state that everything had, should have and can return to. The problem arises with the translation of P'u as the "uncarved block". The intention of the translators is to convey a state of naturalness-simplicity, honesty-plainness etc..., a state of being that exists before any form of unnaturalness is applied or learned. The principle applies to all existence and not just the domain of humans.
And therein lies the problem. If the intention is to convey a state of naturalness, then clearly an uncarved block cannot be the appropriate visual aid, as even an uncarved block came from somewhere and by its very nature is not in its natural state!
If we examine the characters for P'u more closely we will see that they represent not an uncarved block, rather an untouched forest or more precisely...many uncut trees in the forest. Imagine a forest that exists without any alteration and without any influence other than nature. Clearly, the uncarved block is already a piece of wood cut from a tree that is no longer in its natural state, and thereby unqualified to represent P'u.
With this understanding people can now properly analyze scenarios, life questions and existence itself through the visual aid of the untouched trees in the forest. Try to imagine a state of being before learning the many cultural aspects that we consider the meaning of life and living, before we were altered, shaped and molded into everything but our natural state. What would humans and humanity look like if things were left in their natural state, what would governments look like if politicians left things alone, what would the world be like if we did less, spoke less and simply were P'u, etc...?
P'u is the principle of achieving that state of naturalness that exists before one is defiled or altered from their original nature, it is a state that can be achieved and restored.

Get prepared for an evening of Beyoncé.
Queen Bey has been tapped to perform at this year's 2014 MTV Video Music Awards at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The dancing diva will also receive the honorable Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, MTV proclaimed Thursday, August 8th.
There have been different stars that have taken home the prestigious moonman enlivened by the late King of Pop incorporate Jackson himself, such as Britney Spears, Madonna and Justin Timberlake. However, this year, Beyonce, who many would consider to embody Michael Jackson more than any other musical artist out there, will nab the moonman.
It has also been reported that Beyoncé will make the big appearance without hip hop superstar hubby Jay Z. Despite the two being 'On the Run' on a national tour that has reportedly raked in over $100 million dollars already, the two have been cited as being head to splitsville every since the infamous elevator incident between Solange, Beyonce's younger sister, and Jay-Z at the 2014 Met Ball.
"Bey is going to be everywhere throughout the show," a source has revealed. "MTV is still ironing out the details, but they know she will open the show with a huge performance." Beyoncé never disappoints, so we should not expect any different at the VMAs.
Beyoncé heads the VMA nomination list with a whopping eight nods, including Video of the Year for "Drunk in Love," a two part harmony depicting their sexual side with her rapper hubby, Jay-Z.
Beyoncé wowed the show back in 2011 when she dramatically revealed that she was pregnant with now two-year-old daughter baby Blue Ivy Carter.
Bey rubbed her growing baby bump while belting out her hit song"Love on Top" in front of an audience as the swarm of the people rejoicing on the Internet thundered.
Other artist set to take the stages include Maroon 5, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and many more. To see what is in store for this year's 2014 awards, already being dubbed by MTV as "epic," fans will need to tune into the show on Sunday, Aug. 24.

Arizona vs. Washington State
Jan. 11, 2001
Arizona Head Coach Joan Bonvicini:"I think we played excellent team basketball. We are a team who doesn't care who gets the credit as a long as we get the win. I think we did a great job on the glass and running the offense in transition."
On Reshea Bristol:
"She has been very consistent and unselfish. She's been consistent whether it be giving the big assist or hitting the clutch shot. She makes so many things happen, she is at the top of her game."
On Saturday's game against Washington:
"They have excellent shooters, they spread the floor with three great shooters and a great point guard. It's going to be a battle out here on Saturday afternoon."
"We did pretty well. We've had good practices. We knew they (WSU) had confidence after that great sweep in Los Angeles, they're a very scrappy team. I told our team we worked hard to get where we are. Now you do what got you there."
"The thing I like is we were unselfish. Washington State did one big thing. They swept the L.A. schools. We haven't done that yet."
"We just feel we have different players who can put up big numbers. We were fortunate, they really couldn't get their inside game going."
Washington State Head Coach Jenny Przekwas:"I think the way they shot in the first half caused us some problems. One area I was pleased with was how we handled the press. I really thought they were very hot. I was really disappointed that we weren't covering out better on their shooters."
"We came in saying they would be the best team we've played so far."
Arizona junior forward LaKeisha TaylorOn tonight's performance:
"Every game I go out trying to do what I can for the team. That means making good looks and getting my teammates with the hot hand the ball. Coach Bonvicini just wants to get the best look and shot on every offensive possession. Tonight was a night where I was able to get great looks and capitalize on them."
On the team's defense:
"Our intensity on defense is really good. We pride ourselves on scrambling and diving for loose balls it is paying off. Our defense creates a lot of our offensive opportunities. The Pac-10 conference is a very physical league and we expect it to be rough in the low post from here on out."
"This team gets better and better as each game passes and that is very encouraging."
Arizona senior guard Reshea Bristol"I thought we played very well tonight. Washington State gave us a run for our money but we stuck to our game plan and executed on both ends of the floor. We wanted to come out and show that we wouldn't overlook any team after great wins at California and Stanford."
On margin of victory:
"I was not surprised. When we play together we can beat anybody. This team is so athletic and versatile that it is very hard to defend us."
On Washington game on Saturday:
"They are a very good team. We are going to have to contest their perimeter shooters. Washington is similar to us in how balanced of a team they are."

Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito took bullying to another level in the NFL, but with recent news of the San Francisco 49ers trading for the tackle, could Pete Carroll respond by signing Richie Incognito?
Ever since Jim Harbaugh opted to go for a two-point conversion in Stanford's eventual 55-21 win over Carroll's USC team in 2009 there has been bad blood.
During the postgame handshake Carroll asked "What's your deal? You all right?" Harbaugh responded "Yeah, I'm good. What's your deal?"
Ever since then the two college coaches migrated to the NFL's NFC West and have become two of the best teams in the league.
Required to face each other twice a season, there are plenty of times for questionable moments.
Sure, the rivalry is much more media hype than a legit beef between the two, but wouldn't it just be perfect to respond to Martin's signing by bringing in Richie Incognito?
According to TheGuardian.com "There is zero possibility that the Dolphins will bring back Incognito, who checked himself into a mental health facility, seeking help after trashing his own $300,000 Ferrari with a baseball bat."
The Seahawks are set to lose Breno Giacomini who was perhaps Seattle's most consistent offensive lineman in 2013.
While Incognito wouldn't be a replacement, he wouldn't be much a risk either.

Situated in Northern NSW the company is positioned perfectly to distribute its range of flooring products to any state in Australia or to any port for shipment anywhere around the world.
Hurfords mill a comprehensive range of native hardwood timbers that provide a broad spectrum of colour choices for your timber requirements.
Working closely with ATFA, Hurfords are committed to continually developing new procedures and upgrading milling equipment to enhance performance of our products in the market place as well as the development of new products to compliment our existing range.
The foundation of the Hurford Group of companies in 1932 occurred when James Hurford was stood down from his job as a foreman/carpenter with the NSW Railways during the great depression. Together with his brother he went into business renovating and lifting houses in the Lismore region.
While he was purchasing timber for himself from a sawmill, James noticed that a pile of rough-sawn boards had accumulated. These he bought and paid the mill to run them into tongue & groove flooring.
By utilising the sawmill's machinery and labour, James had achieved a competitive edge. He saved enough to purchase his own planing machine and began purchasing more local timber. He went on to produce flooring and other hardwood products for sale. His innovative approach of value adding set a course for the Hurford name to grow steadily and strongly in both timber milling and retail over the next 7 decades.
From these humble beginnings, the facilities have been ever expanded to rank solidly alongside both Australian and International competitors. The Hurford Group now uniquely spans across multiple tiers of industry being a primary producer, manufacturer and wholesaler.
The Hurford Group is now a major local employer, having some 100 staff, plus contractors and is a significant contributor to the regional economy. Their service extends to markets across Australia and the world. Showing the rest of the world an insight into the magnificence of the Australian hardwood.
Today the Group Consists of:
The Hurford Group of Companies has evolved to become an icon in the business community throughout the popular far north coast region of NSW.
Hurfords are focused on a vibrant, active and sustainable future for the forest and timber industries on the North Coast. A visionary company, considered one of the region's leaders in developing new opportunities.

How Long Will My New Laptop Battery Last?0
by n3rraD
How Long Will My New Laptop Battery Last?
This is difficult to determine. Actual laptop battery running time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment. The use of the monitor, the hard drive and other accessories result in additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing its running time. The total running time of the battery is also dependent upon the design of the equipment. Generally, a new BatteryFuel.com battery will run at least as long (and usually longer) as your old battery did when it was new.
BatteryFuel's Laptop batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Because size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:
14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes). 14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This laptop battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours. (57.60 battery watts/20.50 laptop watts = 2.8 hours or runtime)
You can find your laptop's watt hour usage in the user or specification's manual. Some laptop manuals will give more than one watt hour specification based on running the already installed OS by itself and or with one other program open as in the laptop's word processor. Once you open up other programs and start adding pheriphials, the run time will be reduced. Please keep in mind that WiFi, Gaming and Video Streaming will eat up your battery power very fast and the laptops watt hour use does not include these activities.
BatteryFuel is an eCommerce reseller, since 2002, of replacement batteries for laptops, cell-phones, camcorders, digital cameras and many more electronic devices.

Upgrade my HP Compaq Laptop Battery from Ni-MH to Li-ion
Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and Li-ion HP Compaq Laptop Battery are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our HP Compaq Laptop Battery Finder above to find all the compatible Laptop Battery for your device. It will automatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from Ni-MH to Li-ion, you will typically get longer run times.
For example, if your laptop uses a NI-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new Li-ion laptop battery is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the Li-ion battery.
Li-ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-ion is stronger and has longer run time.

The careful maintenance of li-ion laptop battery0

The careful maintenance of li-ion laptop battery
Lithium-Ion — or Li-Ion — batteries are in everything,laptops,digital cameras,camcorders,mp3,etc.it seem that we can't live without them in my daily life.so we indeed need them.and while they may not last forever, they'll benefit from a little tender loving care. This time, five strategies that will help your users get the most out of the rechargeable batteries in their laptops and portable devices.
Device manufacturers categorize batteries as "consumables." They're expected to wear out; it's how they do what they do. The warranties provided by computer companies usually have different coverage terms for a laptop's battery than for the computer's other components. Even if you take the best possible care of your battery, its performance will degrade over time, and I've found that batteries older than two or three years aren't good for much runtime at all.
Accept the fact that your battery won't last forever, no matter what.
Oxidation in the cells can prevent an old battery from discharging properly, so even when left on a shelf, a battery's lifespan shortens with time. That doesn't mean that there aren't some steps that you can take to ensure the Li-Ion batteries in your laptop or cell phone last as long as possible.
Batteries are made to be used, so use them.
Just like couch potatoes, batteries need exercise. The chemicals in Lithium-Ion batteries respond best to regular recharging. So if you have a laptop, don't keep it plugged in all the time; go ahead and let it drain to about 40 or 50 percent of capacity, and then recharge your computer.
The life of a Lithium-Ion Sony vgp-bps11 Battery can be measured in charge cycles. A charge cycle occurs when 100% of a battery's capacity is used. Let's say you use 50% of your laptop's battery one day, charge it overnight, and then you use 50% of the battery again the next day. Even after charging back up again, you'll have only had one charge cycle occur. Most laptop batteries are rated for a useful life of at least 300-500 charge cycles, but high-quality, properly maintained batteries can retain up to 80% of their original life, even after 300 cycles.
Periodically calibrate your battery.
Most batteries that have a "fuel gauge", like those in laptops, should be periodically discharged to zero. This can be accomplished simply by letting your computer run until it reports a low-battery state and suspends itself. (Do not let your computer deep discharge, as I'll explain in the next item.)
The gauge that measures the remaining power in your laptop is based on circuitry integrated into the battery that approximates the effectiveness of the battery's chemical compounds. Over time, a discrepancy can develop between the capacity that the internal circuitry expects the battery to have and what the battery can actually provide. Letting your computer run down to zero every month or so can recalibrate the battery's circuitry, and keep your computer's estimates of its remaining life accurate.
Don't practice so-called deep discharges.
Most laptops will suspend operation if the battery drains too low. Even if your computer goes to sleep, though, most batteries that are in good working order will still have a reserve charge available. This reserve will hold the computer's working memory in state for a little while. A deep discharge has occurred when even that percentage of reserve power is used up. The computer will have turned off completely, and sometimes you'll notice that it will have lost track of the correct date and time. Deep discharges will strain your Dell precision m6400 Battery, so try to charge them frequently.
Avoid exposing your battery to heat (when possible).
Heat can overexcite the chemicals in your battery, shortening its overall lifespan. In fact, it's been speculated that the biggest cause of early battery expiration is the heat that batteries can be exposed to when they're stored in computers that are running off AC power. Laptops — especially modern multi-core machines — can get very hot when they're plugged in, easily over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot enough that extended exposure will negatively affect your battery. If you want to be really protective, there's nothing saying that you can't pop the battery out of your laptop if you're going to be within reach of a power outlet for a while.
There may be times that you can't help but expose your battery to heat; you may live in a warm climate, for instance. You can, however, try and avoid exacerbating the issue. Make sure your digital camera is well ventilated and that you're not operating it on a surface that retains heat, even when you're not plugged into mains power.
Store your batteries properly.
If your laptop or portable device isn't going to be used for a while, you should remove its Lithium-Ion sony vgp-bps8 battery, if possible. Even if the battery can't be separated from the device, it should be stored in a cool environment at about one-half charge. Cool temperature is recommended by experts because that can slow the natural discharge that batteries will undergo even when they're disconnected from their device.
I've seen some people go even further and recommend that spare batteries be stored in the refrigerator. I don't think this is a very good idea; I'm concerned about condensation that might build up. Don't put your batteries on ice, but keep them out of the sun.
Ultimately, I believe that buying spare Li-Ion Battery is a losing game, because the batteries start degrading as soon as they're manufactured. Usually those spare batteries spend most of their time sitting in a charger, losing useful life. If you need to be really mobile, you're better off purchasing an adapter cable you can use with the power sources available in planes, trains, or autos. And, of course, by taking good care of the battery you already have.

The battery works perfectly on the Toshiba A135-S2246 and lasts about 2.5 to 3 hours on power saver mode (with the screen fully dimmed and CPU working slower). It came in an anti-static bag which is nice to avoid damage during shipment. One thing to note is that the battery may not be a perfect fit, but it's compatible. For me to lock it in in place twice (with the two locks) I had to lock it while the battery was partially inserted and then push it in all the way. Once the battery is inserted you can't see or feel a difference from the original. Works with my Toshiba I have had this battery for over one week and it works well with my Toshiba laptop A135-S7403.

Laptop battery correct use and maintenance
In 2006, the entire notebook industry is full of a keyword , is the battery . dell laptop battery While before , sporadic cell phone battery explosion , laptop computer battery explosion news , has more or less in the network and appeared in various media , but in 2006 Dell notebook battery fire , and several consecutive explosions , no doubt these stars Fire , fan into Negative effect and Precaution in one fell swoop .
Although after that, Sony have given nearly half of its annual profits ,Dell 6Y270 Battery, Dell 1X793 Battery, Dell C1295 Battery as these have exploded or unexploded laptop batteries full pay . But people still increase laptop battery for a new understanding : " dangerous goods . " In the Year of the Pig just started soon , ThinkPad and Sanyo joint recall for laptop batteries again in the spotlight as the focus of media and consumer focus , leaving all to use Sanyo battery notebook users into the new Of panic .
Why laptop battery will explode , we should be the proper use of laptop batteries , such as how to avoid an explosion incidents? Let's take a look at what laptop battery is composed .
Laptop battery 's internal composition
This is a piece of notebook batteries, can be said to be very simple structure , the control circuit with a few pieces of lithium batteries . These lithium batteries look very much like we usually use AA batteries , of course, in fact they are not , which of the chemical composition and size are not the same, capacity is the existence of the gap magnitude . Although its appearance compared to our traditional AA batteries has not a small gap , but the study of its nature , is still a lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, Dell C1295 Battery we first look at lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery characteristics , and the use of To note .
Batteries and battery- 5 Comparison of normal
Lithium -ion (Li-ion) battery has a high unit power and lighter weight , while the memory effect is also far more popular before the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery is low, so for now , it can be said to absolute Mainstream . 6 degrees Celsius below the lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries will self- discharge of 5% per month , the best preservation methods is to charge 40% of cold storage , Dell 6Y270 Battery, Dell 1X793 Battery, Dell C1295 Battery you can save up to ten years.
Principles of lithium-ion battery
As for the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery life , had very different views before , put deep charge deep , slow trickle charge are familiar , many users is the removal of battery to not use as much as possible . However, lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery life and charge cycles relation is not very large, its life is in 12-18 months. Note however that we can not on lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery discharge any depth , it is likely to cause the battery completely scrapped . Similarly, 40% of the charge was cold storage for three months or so should be removed to recharge and avoid self- discharge .
Lithium- ion battery chart
In addition, the lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are also very sensitive to temperature at high temperature case, will drastically shorten its life with the possibility of an explosion ; while for 0 degrees or below the low temperature , its quite likely to be a strike , or even An end to their life . Thus for the lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, high and low temperatures will bring no small problem , ranging impact battery life , weight is very likely to cause an explosion , a direct threat to the lives of users .
So how should laptop battery maintenance and use of it ?
1 . to avoid the use of laptop battery under high temperature
As mentioned above , Dell 1X793 Battery, high-temperature case laptop battery life will be seriously reduced , or even have a risk of explosion , so we should avoid using the laptop battery under high temperature , the heat as much as possible to improve the environment for notebook computers , notebook computers can not only extend Life , for there is not a small laptop battery help
2 . Try not to use the fast charge
In fact , currently has a fast charge technology , are international manufacturers . The birth of the technology for business people , whose role is obvious that business people try to save valuable time . But in fact, the fundamental principle of this technology is increasing charging voltage and current , will bring more heat to rapidly reduce the battery life , but also increase the risk of battery explosion . While a large number of international companies are designed to protect technology, but since last year 's laptop battery for several bombings is not difficult to see that these protective technology is not omnipotent, fast charge , or it can be avoided
Laptop Battery Common Questions and Answers0
Laptop Battery Common Questions and Answers
We often set our sights on price, weight, figure and configuration when we purchase a new laptop. Battery is often ignored. In fact, battery and integral performance of a laptop are inseparable. Battery is as important as CPU, mainboard, hard disk etc. We list the tips and guideline below. Let's get the most of your lithium laptop batteries.
1. How to charge your new replacement laptop battery properly?
Some laptops with lithium-ion batteries use technology of SBS brightness battery system, which can measure battery's life accurately. Although lithium-ion battery has many merits, we still need to master some professional charge method to prolong battery's life and made it maintain long time power supply. Your new HP Pavilion dv6000 Battery requires three complete charge/discharge cycles before use and achieving maximum capacity. It means the battery would have to be charged fully and then be discharged fully. Repeat it three times before starting to use the battery. By this way, battery's internal chemical materials can be activated and its internal chemical reaction can come into the optimal state. After the activation, the battery can be charged and used freely. But the battery will have to be discharged completely once a month so that the battery activity can be released by such deep discharge and battery life can be maintained.
If battery is idle for over 3 months, it is also necessary to conduct 3 cycles of complete charge and dsicharge to ensure that the battery is activated. You must control the charge time commendably when you use a Ni-MH battery. Please remember not to overcharge continually, or it will shorten the battery's life.
Furthermore, Ni-MH battery should be fully discharged before being charged. It also needs three complete discharge/ charge cycles before starting to use it. Most users are used to using Alternating Current instead of a battery for power supply when they use laptops. Actually the battery needs to be used at least once or twice per month to release the battery power completely. Then fully charge the battery with AC power once. Please remember that it is always good for rechargeable batteries to use up the battery power before giving them a full charge. Because the li-ion Dell inspiron 1525 Battery used by laptop has its own laziness and would lose its activeness when being idle for long time. It needs to be reactivated.
It is suggested to take out the battery from laptop when it uses AC power supply indoor to avoid having the battery get charged frequently. It is also suggested to shut down the laptop so that battery can be fully charged. Do not remove the AC power during charge.
In addition, the power of battery can easily be used up and most laptops have only one battery. For this reason, some manufacturers have developed a fast charge feature that enables the battery to replenish its power at the fastest pace after power draining up. One hour charge can give the battery back over 90% of its power. Why is not 100%? Because frequent fast 100% charge will greatly shorten the battery life. In order to prolong battery life, fast charge will have to be switched to slow charge(namely Constant Voltage charging method) when battery reaches 90% charge.
For a common laptop, the best charge method is to turn off the laptop when its battery is being charged. The charge time will be shortened by 30% by this method.
2.what's the "memory effect" of battery? and how to clean out it?
Ni-cd batteries, and to a lesser extent Ni-MH batteries, suffer from what's called the "memory effect". What this means is that if a battery is repeatedly only partially discharged before recharging, the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to further discharge all the way down.To illustrate: If you, on a regular basis, fully charge your CANON NB-7L Battery and then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge, eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra 50% capacity which has remained unused. The battery will remain functional, but only at 50% of its original capacity.
The way to avoid the dreaded "memory effect" is to fully cycle (fully charge and
then fully discharge) the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Batteries
can be discharged by unplugging the device's AC adapter and letting the device
run on the battery until it ceases to function. This will insure your battery remains healthy.
Mh and Li-Ion batteries do not suffer the memory effect.

The Central Iowa Concert Calendar for Tuesday, August 19 is headed by on again, off again Wu-Tang Clan contributor Cappadonna. The rapper was originally scheduled to perform at the Gas Lamp in Des Moines on July 26, but he had to reschedule due to a "scheduling conflict".
Cappadonna, a Staten Island native, was a part of the formation of what would eventually become the Wu-Tang Clan, but he was, unfortunately, incarcerated before the group was fully formed and was replaced by Method Man. Cappadonna would return later, however, to record on a number on Wu-Tang albums, as well as the solo albums of many of the group's members. The rapper is often referred to now as Wu-Tang's "unofficial tenth member". As a solo artist, Cappadonna has released eight studio albums. The rapper's latest album, entitled Hook Off, was released on June 17. Cappadonna has also teamed up with Wu-Tang's Ghostface Killah and a number of other Staten Island rappers to form the collective Theodore Unit. TU released a studio album in 2004 entitled 718 and a mixtape two years later called NY's Backbone.
Tuesday's Gas Lamp show will kick off at 6 p.m. The show is open to all ages, and Cappadonna is rumored to be bringing along a special guest. Admission will be $10 at the door.
Also on Tuesday, Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines will host alternative pop/rock group Archie Powell & The Exports. The son of a Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist, Archie Powell took up guitar at age 11 and began writing songs four years later. Powell formed Archie Powell & The Exports after graduating college. The Chicago natives released their third album, entitled Back in Black, in April. Des Moines rock bands Easy Fruit and The Dirty Kids will open the show. The 9 p.m. concert is a 21-and-over affair and will have a $5 cover charge.

Florida Panthers: Booth appears to be OK
After getting an update on David Booth's condition after the game, Panthers GM Randy Sexton said that Booth is coherent, clear and alert at the hospital and is continuing to undergo tests.
Sexton said he didn't know yet whether Booth suffered a concussion as a result of Jaroslav Spacek's elbow to his jaw in the second period tonight.
Booth might be released from the hospital tonight, though it's possible he'll be kept overnight as a precaution, Sexton said. The team had planned to stay over in Montreal tonight anyhow, so he'll travel with the rest of the Panthers on Friday morning when they bus to Ottawa.
Sexton and Coach Pete DeBoer, as well as Panthers' goalie Scott Clemmensen, who had a good look at the hit, said they thought Spacek's hit on Booth was clean — just unfortunate. Here's a guy, after all, who missed 45 games this season because of a concussion after a hit to the head from Philly's Mike Richards, who unlike Spacek didn't hit Booth cleanly.
"You never want to see any player get injured," Sexton said. "It wasn't a great deja vu."
"Particularly him and what he's been through," DeBoer said. "We're all concerned and thinking about him and crossing our fingers."
DeBoer said that when he first saw Booth get hit, "I was hoping he had the wind knocked out of him, but when he continued to lay on his stomach, you start to get concerned."
Clemmensen, one of the teammates who helped Booth off the ice, said, "It's tough. You never want to see a friend of yours lay on the ice like that. It's an unfortunate situation for him just because of the injury he sustained earlier this year."

Brotherhood of Shadow 1.1 Mod
Every Female Head by Darth_Jaden
Ok, those are the mods i've installed, following readme instructions, kotortool, GFFEditor etc, and were installed prior to starting a new game.
1. OMG thankyou, i've played this game 'as is' many times over the years but found the mods section a short while ago.. yeay! ;
2. Some of the mods only kinda work, as follows
a. so far any Mandalorian wearing Grunt armor has a Zabrak head, including Garth if wearing Grunt and are almost unkillable by (3) lvl 14 Jedi
b. Mandalorian boss on Tatooine and Canderous both share same tan-skinned bald headed head and I have yet to last with (3) lvl14 jedi longer than 34 seconds against the dual-lightsaber wielding boss
c. did recieve stuff in plasteel cylinder, but the eugenics chamber itself is an 'energy ring post' like the one found in the last Sith temple on Korriban
d. there is no additional planet, but using the BoSSR save game the planet there is is a white square, shows a blank screen when clicked on, and when traveled too walking out of the Ebon-Hawk is like walking out into pitch blackness, no screen whatsoever, just a game cursor
e. some of Juhani's stuff shows up in inventory as a white square picture, although description is there as well as actual item worn
f. can't seem to get the horns to work/show and the Zabraks look a little.. well odd, without them
i'm sure some of these may have been answered already in other posts, but well i'm new and just a little lost in this

As the capital city of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg has its share of fun things to do, especially on a Friday night. Typically, this is the first evening that those working traditional 9-5 jobs can let their hair down and relax, and they do so in a wide variety of ways.
Below are some great ideas for Friday night entertainment and enjoyment in the 'Burg.
Cuisine for All Palates
Tastes run the gamut, as do pocketbooks, so it's nice to know that Harrisburg offers plenty of eateries.
For those seeking high-end culinary treasures, Bricco and Mangia Qui always aim to please. These are terrific options for group dining, or date nights.
People who are more in the mood for lots of food and a social ambiance will find The Firehouse Restaurant and the Gingerbread Man Downtown to be their liking.
Finally, individuals who want a fast food price tag without sacrificing quality will love Neato Burrito and The Pita Pit. As a bonus, there are healthy options at both. For a more café style, try Tomato Pie Café for a relaxing environment and unique and healthy café option.
Always Something to Do…
Not everyone wants to sit at home on a Friday and watch re-runs of 1990s Lifetime movies or whatever is playing On Demand. That's where Harrisburg's plethora of activity options comes into play.
For theatre-goers and movie lovers, there are often shows at the Gamut Theatre, Open Stage, Theatre Harrisburg and the Regal Great Escape at the Harrisburg Mall. On a regular basis, The Forum has dancing, singing, comedy, orchestras and other acts.
Those who are more into sitting back with a good cup of coffee and a great book in a café atmosphere flock to the Midtown Scholar Bookstore. More a destination than a place to simply peruse through bookshelves, the Midtown Scholar regularly hosts events like poetry readings, improvisational acts and author discussions.
Of course the many towns surrounding Harrisburg are only a few minutes away: Camp Hill, Hershey, Middletown, New Cumberland, Carlisle and Mechanicsburg. Each has its own Friday gems as well, which means every weekend of the year can be an opportunity to make a wonderful memory.

New Bing "Disavow Links" tools
View Single Post
Go4Expert Founder
Yes and that is where Google rules. No matter how badly it treats webmasters, they do good to users who uses them. As a webmaster you have to accept that fact as well.
Bing does not drive lot of traffic to websites and so webmaster's are not very keen on looking into Bing. If I look at June 1 2011 to June 30 2012 for Go4Expert, the stats are as follows.
google / organic
- 84.08%
(direct) / (none)
- 10.26%
bing / organic
- 0.64%
And if I look for only June 2012, I see that ratio as 0.46% only which does not reveal much but I conclude is traffic from Bing is not picking up either and so it does not excite me to visit Bing Webmaster central either.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" paints a picture of excess and debauchery during a time of great excess. Leonardo DiCaprio portrays Jordan Belfort, the real person that the book that the film is based upon is all about. According to Forbes on Jan. 8, the movie emphasizes the sexy side of corruption while it downplays the sadness it creates.
Movies, after all, thrive on the visual. Antics and debauchery are more visually appealing than heartbreak and despair.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" according to DiCaprio, purposely showcases the good life derived from greed and excess, while downplaying the damage done to its victims. The viewer is very much put into Belfort's head and gets an opportunity to experience a wild life from his perspective.
Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" differs from Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" in that there are no consequences shown for Belfort's actions. At the end of Stone's film Bud Fox, played by Charlie Sheen gets busted and is brought to trial to pay for his crimes. The victims include not just his customers, but also his own father.
The profits from the film and books that Belfort receives will go to his victims instead thanks to a judge declaring him in default on paying millions in restitution.

Thanks for the lunch money, Digicel
THE EDITOR, Sir:
I just wanted to write to thank Digicel for the bus fare the company had given to a lot of schoolchildren early in January.
This really touched me because I live in Spanish Town, but I go to school in Kingston. That day, I had just enough money to get to school and back home. I decided I wasn't going to buy lunch that day, so I took some bread and butter with me. But I left home early and I reached home late and I knew the bread wasn't going to be enough.
Because Digicel paid for my bus fare that day, I was able to buy some lunch. I've never got anything free in my life. My mother always said that for our family, we always have to work hard for everything we have in life.
So I really appreciate what Digicel did that day. I know I'm not the only one in this position. I know other schoolchildren that feel the same way.
So on behalf of the schoolers, I just want to say a big thank you to Digicel.

Jay Vandeventer of the U.S. shot an 8-under 64 yesterday at Loyalist Golf Club in Bath, ON, to take the first round lead at The Great Waterway Classic.
The 23-year-old leads by one over a group of players that included Peter Campbell of Baddeck, NS, American Creighton Honeck, Scotland's Paul Cormack and Daniel Miernicki of the U.S.
Vandeventer carded six birdies and an eagle on the day. He credited a hot putter for his round, which turned out to be his best performance of his first season on PGA Tour Canada.
The round was nearly one stroke better, with a 10-footer for eagle at 18 suffering a hard lip-out. Vandeventer settled for birdie, his second straight to finish off his round.
One shot back of the group at 7-under were eight players, including Canadians Max Gilbert of St. Georges, QC and Ted Brown of Peterborough.
Campbell continues to rock and roll
Coming off his best career PGA Tour Canada finish with a T2 in the Forces & Families Open at Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa, Peter Campbell kept the solid play going on Thursday with a 7-under 65 to sit tied for second.
Campbell, who sits 31st on the Order of Merit, also ranks 23rd on the NEC Series – PGA TOUR Latinoamérica Order of Merit, and is looking forward to the opportunity to earn status on the Web.com Tour on both Tours.
Miernicki rides hot putter after time off
California Qualifying Tournament medalist Daniel Miernicki hasn't played on PGA Tour Canada since a fourth place finish at the Staal Foundation Open presented by Tbaytel, partially due to a nagging wrist injury. He showed no signs of rust on Thursday, though, firing a 7-under 65 to place T2 after day one.

Men married after age 25 have better bone health than those who marry at an earlier age
Adult bone mass may be influenced by stressors over the life course. Researchers from UCLA examined the association between marital life history and bone mineral density (BMD) net socioeconomic and behavioral factors known to influence bone mass.
Dr. Carolyn Crandall, MD, FACP, professor of medicine in the division of general internal medicine and health services research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and senior study author along with colleagues used data from 632 adult participants in the Midlife in the United States Study, (MIDUS), 1995 to 1996, to examine associations between marital history and BMD, stratified by gender, and adjusted for age, weight, menopausal stage, medication use, childhood socioeconomic advantage, adult financial status, education, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
Participants were re-interviewed in 2004-2005, (MIDUS II). The authors used hip and spine measurements obtained by standard bone-density scanners during participants' MIDUS II visits at UCLA, Georgetown University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison and other data to examine the relationship between bone health and marriage in 294 men and 338 women from around the country. Researchers also took into consideration other factors such as medicines, health behaviors and menopause.
The associations between marriage and bone health were evident in the spine but not the hip, possibly due to differences in bone composition, the researchers said.
The results showed compared to stably married men, men who were currently divorced, widowed, or separated, men who were currently married but previously divorced, widowed, or separated, and never married men had 0.33, 0.36 and 0.53s standard deviations lower lumbar spine BMD, respectively.
Among men married at least once, every year decrease in age at first marriage (under age 25) was associated with 0.07 SD decrement in lumbar spine BMD.
In women, greater support from the spouse was associated with higher lumbar spine BMD.
These findings suggest several significant associations between marriage and bone health but only in men.
Dr. Arun Karlamangla, MD, assistant professor of medicine in the geriatrics division at the Geffen School and researcher and co-author of study commented "Very early marriage was detrimental in men, likely because of the stresses of having to provide for a family,
Such as those who marry young are likely to be less educated, leading to lower pay and more difficulty in making ends meet, said the authors.
In their conclusion the researchers write "Our findings suggest that marriage before age 25 and marital disruptions are deleterious to bone health in men, and that marital quality is associated with better bone health in women."
The team does not know the biological pathways connecting bone health and marriage; this will be the next stage of their research.
These findings suggest an association and not a cause and effect due to the fact there were no longitudinal assessments of bone density.
Despite these limitations, the findings "provide additional new evidence of the association between psychosocial life histories and adult bone health," the authors write. "The gender differences observed in the association between marital history and [bone strength] are consistent with gender differences seen in previous studies of marital status and other aspects of health, and imply that we should not assume that marriage has the same health rewards for men and women.
"Specifically, never marrying, and experiencing a divorce, widowhood, or separation are associated with poor bone health in men, whereas poor marital quality is associated with poor bone health in women."
This study is published online in the peer-reviewed journal Osteoporosis International.
