I've been using some code to extract unsigned 16 bit values from a string.
I discovered that adding this function to the prototype for
String.prototype.UInt16 = function(n) {
return this.charCodeAt(n) + 256 * this.charCodeAt(n + 1);
is much slower than just having a function which takes a
String as a parameter:
var UInt16 = function(s, n) {
return s.charCodeAt(n) + 256 * s.charCodeAt(n + 1);
In Firefox the difference is only a factor of two, but in Chrome 15 it's one hundred times slower!
See results at http://jsperf.com/string-to-uint16
Can anyone proffer an explanation for this, and/or offer an alternative way of using the prototype without the performance hit?

Carmel teachers have been working without a contract for nearly 2 years. This is too long for any professional to work without a contract, let alone people who are so vital to a community as are its teachers.
Carmel residents support their schools. Just recently, Carmel voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of a tax levy to increase local funding of their schools. It is time for Carmel's school officials to support its teachers by giving them the respect they deserve by giving them a fair contract.
In this day and age, teachers have enough to worry about in their classrooms. They shouldn't have to worry about working without knowing about something as essential as their salary. These high performing teachers deserve better.
ISTA stands strong with teachers in Carmel and are working hard to get them the contract and respect that they so richly deserve.

- Charming, but smaller than imaginedl Review by albricias
I like the holder because it is versatile in use.
But it is too small. Wish the boots themselves were bigger.

After more than two years and many, many washings, this pet bed has held up and is still comfortable for my dog. Very durable, easy to keep clean...no wonder they are out of stock!
This is a nice pet bet with some heft to it. My beagle sleeps comfortably and it washes up nicely in my large-capacity washer.
We have had this for a year. Bulky to wash of course, but washable. He can rip his chew toys apart, but has not done it to this.
my dog loves this bed. Much prefers this bed to my bed

RE: Your last two messages
Thanks again, Janis, I will be sending you my other transfer requests soon. No, I hadn't even considered applying for First Families of Ohio. But now that you mention in, I probably will. I did have our farm designated as a Century Farm back in the 1970s and had been considering submitting an application for First Families of Licking County. It probably wouldn't take much more work for me to do both. Good luck on getting your application submitted. I know how easy it is to put off things like that. Hope you're having, or had, a fabulous Fourth!

Thank You for Transfer
of my 3x ggf John Dixon, Jr. #85127904 to me. There are quite a few more of my Dixon relatives buried in the Patterson Cemetery. And as Isabella (nee Patterson) Dixon was my 3x ggm, other relatives, as well. John and Isabella's son, Isaac Newton Dixon (#58129511), built his home on the farm that John and Isabella purchased prior to 1810, and which borders the Patterson Cemetery. My sisters and I eventually inherited this farm and I have in my possession many family bibles,and other documents of these family members. Therefore, I will request transfer of each of these relatives as time permits. Would you prefer that I send a complete list of these transfer requests as a group or each individual one at a time?
Thank you for your dedication and hard work.

RE: Gordon Dixon
Thanks for your reply and thanks even more for your dedication and great work for Find A Grave! After sending my message, I realized that you were most likely not related but just a very kind person who left a floral tribute and message on many memorials. I live in Mount Vernon so we probably aren't too far apart. The Dixons, which you no doubt realized had many family members in the Patterson cemetery. My 3x great grandfather, John Dixon was among the first ten settlers of Burlington Township in 1806 and he and his wife (Isabella Patterson, my 3x great grandmother) purchased the farm adjoining the cemetery and has been owned by the six generations, mine being the sixth. Again, thanks for all you've done. You deserve a whole slew of gold stars!

Hi, Janis, I am Mary Lou Dixon, Gordon's daughter. I saw your flowers and note and wondered if you might be a cousin. We had a cousin named Janis but I believe she spelled it Janice. Then Gordon's parents had a neighbor named Janis for decades but I always thought she spelled it Janice also. Just curious if you might be someone I might know.

Conditionally Rare C. Bechtler Five Dollar, K-23, MS61(1834-37) $5 C. Bechtler Five Dollar, RUTHERF: MS61 NGC. K-23, R.6. This is an impressive Mint State example of the Georgia gold rarity. This example was assigned the High Rarity-6 rating by Donald Kagin in his 1981 reference, Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States. Although a few more are probably known a quarter century later, it is doubtful that this variety has broken out of the R.6 level, thus less than 30 survivors exist.
This example is the first Mint State specimen that we have handled in any of our auctions since we began our archives in 1993. NGC and PCGS have combined to grade just three MS61 examples with one finer piece (11/07). This specimen has bright greenish-yellow gold with considerable reflectivity in the fields. Logically, since it is made from Georgia Gold, it has a similar color to most Dahlonega Mint gold pieces. Listed on page 350 of the 2008 Guide Book.

Businesses Promote Eco-Friendly Stance with RecycleBank
Companies have a way to market eco-friendly attitudes by teaming up with RecycleBank, a company that tries to get households to recycle by offering coupons from businesses like Starbucks, Bed, Bath & beyond, and Staples, Forbes reports (via Triple Pundit).
The goal is to increase municipalities' recycling rates – and lower their landfill costs – by enticing constituents with coupons.

FOLDING CHAIR HAVING A METALLIC FRAME Filed Feb. 13, 1946 Tlg 3 $2 Z Jim/ ORI E- 31y flafwflkmn Patented May 15, 1951 FOLDING CHAIR HAVING A METALLIC FRAME Julius L. Cable, Boston, Mass.
Application February 13, 1946, Serial No. 647,227
3 Claims.
This invention relates to chairs and more particularly, though not exclusively, to chairs which may be folded.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a chair which is very light in weight, yet extremely strong, and which vn-ds itself to efficient mass production from inexpensive materials.
It is another object of the present invention to construct the framework of the chair from a minimum number of steel bars which are cut from flat strip stock, and finished by simple bending operations.
It is a more specific object of the present invention to use thin gauge strip stock of light weight for making the bars of the framework of the chair, and to configurate the strip stock cross-section'ally into a shape designed to lend it maximum rigidity, by uninterruptedly feeding the stock lengthwise through cooperating forming rolls.
The foregoing and other objects of the inven tion, together with means whereby the latter may be carried into effect, will best be under-- stood from the following description of an illustrative embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing: in which,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the chair embodying the present invention,
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the chair, taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary side elevation of a certain part of the chair, as viewed in the direction of the arrow 4 in Fig. 1,
Fig. 5 is a section taken on the line 5-5 cf Fig. 4, and
Fig. 6 is an enlarged, fragmentary section through the chair, taken on the line 68 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, and particularly to Fig. 1, the reference numeral iii designates a chair which, in the present instance, is of the folding type. The framework of the chair con sists of sections l2 and Hi, which intersect each other when the chair is unfolded as shown in Fig. l. The frame sections I2 and M are pivotally connected at it at their intersections in a manner to be described in detail hereinafter. The frame sections 12 and M are formed by U-shaped steel bars which are inverted to each other, as shown in Fig. l. The frame section 92 is longer than the other frame section It, and comprises the front legs l8 and the back rest support 2c of the chair, while the frame section It comprises the rear legs 22 of the chair. The rear legs 22 of the chair are joined at the bottom by the integral yoke 24 of the U-shaped section Hi. The frame section 52 is reinforced by spaced cross ties 26 and 2'8, the ends 33 of which are bent and riveted or otherwise secured at 32 to the frame section i2. The frame section M is reinforced by a tie bar 34 which is generally V-shaped and has its diverging legs 35 terminating in parallel ends 38. The apex 40 of the tie bar 34 is riveted at 42 to the yoke 24 of the frame section It, while the parallel ends 38 are secured to the legs 22 by rivets 44 and also by the previously mentioned pivot connections I 5 between the frame sections I2 and M.
The legs 22 of the frame section Hi are pivotally connected at the top with seat-mounting angle irons 59 as by rivets 52. lhe seat 54 may consist of a wooden board 55 (Fig. 6), screwed or otherwise secured to the angle irons 50 as at 5 (Fig. 2), and preferably having a cover 58 of any suitable material, such as leather or a textile fabric, for instance. For comfort, the seat may also be somewhat upholstered. When the chair is unfolded as shown in Fig. 1, the seat 54 rests on the cross tie 28.
The steel bars of which the frame sections i2 and Hi are composed, are made from strip stock 56 which has been formed into the crosssectional shape shown in Fig. 3. The strip stock thus formed provides a longitudinal channel 62. The strip stock for the frame section l2 has been bent into U-shape so that the portions of the channel 52 in the parallel legs of said frame section face each other (Fig. 1). A back rest 66 is placed into the channel 62 in the yoke portion of the frame section 12, and secured therein by suitable fastening means, such as wood screws 58. Since the present chair is of the folding type, the opposite portions of the channel 62 in the parallel legs of the frame section i2 are also used as guide channels for lateral tongues 10 on the seat-mounting angles 53. The tongues iii are preferably punched from the angles 59 as at 12 (Fig. 6) and bent outwardly so as to project into the adjacent portions of the channel 62 in the frame section l2. To fold the chair, the seat 511 is lifted off the cross tie 28 and the frame sections l 2 and M folded together, whereby the lateral tongues it on the seat ride upwardly in the adjacent portions of the channel 52. When the chair is unfolded, the tongues Hi ride downwardly in the adjacent portions of the channel 62. Hence, the tongues it and the channel 62 serve to guide the seat 54 into folded and unfolded position, as will be readily understood.
The seat-mounting angles 5t are provided with downwardly extending lugs 30 which bear against the cross tie 28 when the seat is unfolded (Fig. 1), thereby preventing the unfolded frame sections 12 and M from collapsing. The lugs are preferably punched from the angles 50 as at 82 (Fig. 6), and bent downwardly in the fashion illustrated in Fig. 1.
The pivots it on the framework of the chair 3 are preferably formed by rivets which connect the intersecting portions of the frame sections [2 and I l .and the adjacent ends 33 of the V- shaped tie 34. Since the pivoted portions of the frame sections l2 and H3, and also the adjacent ends 38 of the V-shaped tie 34, have been weakened by drilling holes through them for the reception of the rivets I6, they are reinforced by split steel sleeves 90 and 92. The sleeves 99 are pressedover the drilled portions of the frame section i2, while the sleeves 92 are pressed over the drilled portions of the frame section 59 and tie 34, as shown in Fig. 5. The sleeves 99 and 92 not only reinforce the drilled, and, hence, weakened, portions of the frame sections i2, i9 and tie 99, but also afford additional layers of steel through which the rivets 59 extend, thus preventing the rivets it from tearing or exces sively wearing the drilled portions of the frame sections H, 12 and tie 39, even when an exceptionally heavy person sits on the chair.
The tie 34, by its Vshape and attachment to the legs 2'2 and yoke 24 of the frame section H1 in the manner shown in Fig. 1, greatly reinforces the frame section 2. Thus, by securing the parallel ends 38 of the tie 34 to a length of the chair legs 22, the latter are separately reinforced against longitudinal collapse, while the additional attachment of the apex 40 of the V-shaped tie 34 to the yoke 29 of the frame section M reinforces the latter against collapse in any direction.
Hence, the provision of the V-shaped tie 3 3 on the frame section M renders the latter exceptionally rigid. This is of decided advantage since the frame section i l of the present chair carries the greater portion of the weight of a person sitting on the chair, particularly when the person leans against the backrest.
' The strip stock from which the frame sections I2 and M and preferably also the ties 26, 29 and 3d, are made, is preferably thin gauge steel of light weight, so as to reduce the weight of the chair to a minimum. However, in order that strip stock of very thin gauge may safely be used for the intended purpose, the same is configurated cross-sectionally into the shape shown best in Fig. 3. More particularly, the strip stock is c-onfigurated cross-sectionally so as to provide opposite, round beads 6i and a web or bridge 63 joining said beads. The stock is thus continuously curved cross-sectionally with repeated reversals in the curve at 65 and 87 (Fig. 3) making for maximum rigidity of the configurated stock. Stock of this crosssectional shape may be obtained economically and efficiently by feeding strip stock uninterruptedly through appropriate forming rolls (not shown). The various lengths for the frame sections #2, Hi, the cross ties 25, 28 and the V-shaped tie 34 may then be cut from the formed stock, and simply bent into the shapes shown in Fig. l. The ties 29 and 28 may then be riveted to the frame section 12 to form a subassembly, and the \/shaped tie 34 may be riveted to the frame section 14 at 42, and 44 to form another sub-assembly. The reinforcement sleeves 99 and 92 may also be applied to these sub-assemblies. The seat 54 may be assembled and mounted on the angles 59 to form an additional sub-assembly. Thereafter, the several sub-assemblies may readily be assembled into the complete chair.
Press-fitted over, or otherwise secured to, the lower ends of the front legs 18 of the chair are "caps 99 which lend to these legs a more finished "2' appearance and reinforce them where they would be liable to collapse cross-sectionally if directly standin on the floor. The back rest 66 may be made from a board of inexpensive ply-wood, and suitably covered with the same material as the seat 54. In order to prevent the holding screws 68 from splitting the plywood, or working loose therein, within a short time, a piece 92 of thin sheet metal is wrapped around each side of the board in the manner shown in Fig. 1, and a screw 68 is forced therethrough and into the board. Each sheet metal piece 92 may be attached to the wooden board of the back rest 66 by an ordinary nail of which the end is hammered over against the board as at 94.
I claim:
1. A folding chair having a seat, a supporting frame therefor, said frame being formed by joined bars, each made from a steel strip configurated cross-sectionally so that its side edges form round beads and its intermediate portion forms a continuously curved web joining each bead in a reversing, continuous curve, said supporting frame comprising two U-shaped bars each having a yoke and parallel legs spaced apart to receive said seat therebetween, pivots connecting the legs of said bars intermediate their ends so that said bars may be folded substantially into a common plane, a straight rigid tie across the legs of one of said bars, a rigid V-shaped tie having two legs diverging from the apex of the V and continuing as parallel ends, means including said pivots for attaching said apex and ends to the yoke and legs, respectively, of the other bar, said seat being pivotally connected with the free ends of the legs of said other bar and resting on said straight tie when the chair is unfolded, and means to limit the unfolding of said bars.
2. A folding chair as set forth in claim 1, having a reinforcing sleeve over the pivoted portion of each leg of said other bar and the adjacent end of said V-shaped tie, and each of said pivots extendin through the adjacent sleeve.
3. A folding chair as set forth in claim 1, having a reinforcing sleeve over the pivoted portion of each leg of said one bar, and a reinforc ing sleeve over the pivoted portion of each leg of said other bar and the adjacent end of said V-shaped tie, and each of said pivots extending through the adjacent sleeves.

Dh and I just got home from a mandatory awards banquet at the university where he teaches. Blah... mega boring. Anyway, the babysitter was recapping her evening and warned us that dd's back is all scratched up from a fall on the swing set. She said she didn't notice it until she was changing her into jammies. In typical tom boy fashion my dd looked at her after the fall and said, "Oops! Let's try that again." :eek:Poor Maddie(the sitter). She wasn't prepared for my little dare devil. Should have guessed from the missing front tooth(knocked out while at church, for crying out loud!)
I can't say I'm surprised. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I was forever sporting skinned knees, elbows, black eyes, broken tooth, etc as a kid. The only thing she won't be doing is falling out of trees since ours are all saplings.

"Great place to celebrate your holiday's, perfect combination of relaxation and culture."
This was a lovely holiday for me. The place looks beautiful and had so many places to relax. The swimming pool was great and we often jumped in to cool off. You can sunbathe on the sunbeds or sit in de shades reading, whatever you prefer. Close to the kitchen you can eat inside and outside on the balcony. Also you can play pool. Every room had its own benefits, either a private kitchen and bathroom or balcony and shared Jacuzzi. Apart from some little defects (one refrigerator did not work, one door did not close properly or a hor that fell off), everything worked properly. Also the Wifi was something I really appreciated to stay in touch with the homefront. Ana and Nicolas were of great help with everything. Nicolas stayed in touch while he was away and Ana prepared some delicious meals for us. The first evening when we arrived drinks and food were ready by the pool, the second day she made us breakfast with eggs and everything, and the last night we had a great barbecue. Ana also showed us the marked and other places to buy food. When I got sick and needed to see a doctor during my stay, Ana was of great help too. She called her personal doctor for advice where to go. The service was amazing and made us feel like friends, not just some visitors. We had some rental cars that took us everywhere we wanted to go. Athens is nearby and we did some sight seeing there. Also we saw some temples nearby, one by sunset. The beach is very close, you can go there any time you want. I wish we could have stayed longer to do some shopping, but time passed by so soon. I really enjoyed our stay and want to thank Ana and Nicolas so much for everything.
It was very important for me to write a review after all the great time Anna and Nikolas (the owners) were giving to us. The story starts 20 years ago. We are big family, my parents and 7 children with many grandchildren. Almost every year we are looking for a big house that we can spend time together. We were all around, from Spain,France, The Netherland, Italy and many other places. It is the first time I know who the owners are... It was great. We felt that they not only rented their house but also gave all what they can give from their heart to couse our vacation to be so nice. Whatever we needed, they were there. Which iland to visit? "dont worry... we will take you there" Which restuarant? "Cool, I have freind that will cook for you and take you with a boat." I have 4 years old boy, "hay, I have a tractor and he can drive it." When you come for a short period like 2 weeks it is very helpfool if someone guide you from the heart , Anna and Nikolas are the people you want to rent house from. Thanks Hagai Alster firstname.lastname@example.com
"Very pleasant stay"
We stayed in the villa with our extended family in October 2012. The large space allowed us to be together with everyone when we wanted company, and on our own when we wanted quiet. The large porch and poolside were very pleasant. The proximity to the beach and to restaurants made it easy to relax and enjoy good food. The amenities were great: well equipped kitchens and laundry rooms, internet connection, TV. The service was excellent. No doubt the villa was an important contributor to our wonderful vacation.
"True friendship and great value for money."
We have spent 10 days in Villa Aventuroduring September 2012. The Villa is situated in Anavissos a typical authentic Greek small town on the Greek seaside. It took us about 35 min to reach the villa from the Athens airport. The Villa itself is very much as described in the different portals. It is huge, with plenty of space to accommodate many people. The nice thing about the Villa that it provides you with the choice of full privacy should you want it or in case you are in more of a social mood to share 2 large central living rooms with family members or other guests. The only real critics I have is that the bedrooms, although they are very big are a bit to condensed with furniture. This is my opinion but it is very subjective. The garden and pool area in reality are even more beautiful than on the Web. There have been a lot of thought put in to the pool and garden design and all I can say is that once you are there, in the garden and by the pool, you lose the desire to go out and explore the surroundings and the sea side (although we did do so eventually). It is just perfect! The house is well equipped to leisure the guests, there are bicycles that can be used to cycle to the sea side, small motor car for small children, fishing gear for whomever likes to fish, a pool table and Ping-Pong table, and in general it is equipped for the guests to have a great time. I can go on and talk about the house, how great it is and so on but the most special, touching and unique thing about this vacation was Anna and Nicolas, the house owners. Our expectations when we agreed terms on the house with Anna and Nicolas was to have a good time in Greece, what we came out with was a great experience and true friendship which is something we did not plan or expect. Anna and Nicolas, are amazing people with a very rich background and history. They did there outmost to provide us with the best service, assistance and guidance on the area, they respected our privacy from one side and from the other side have been there to help us out in whatever we needed and after a few days we became good friends and we had spent quite some time together which was really great. Anna, Nicolas, it was a great vacation and if all goes well we will see you next year in September For any additional feedback feel free to contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com
"Just tremendous, the vacation of our life"
The villa had rooms for all the members of our family, with Jacuzzis, TV, air conditioners and extended sitting areas with easy chairs. The large plot on which the villa is build, is surrounded by a wall and the entrance is through digitally controlled gates. We could leave our cash open on the tables. Most surprising of all is the high class, large swimming pool in the middle of an extended garden surrounded by palm trees. The owners, a couple, went all of the time out of there way to make us feel welcome and have become our friends. If you are looking for a place to spend with family and/or friends, and have a great vacation, this is it.

40 some fights, a so called world championship, media darling, big purses, and this guy still hasn't fought a live body! (my apologies to those who think Rhodes is a good fighter). Williams, Vanes, Molina, Lara, and Angula are being denied opportunities thay deserve so the crooked scumbags at the WBC and the priicks at GBP can make $$$$. As long as ***** like this continues this great sport will never again be mainstream

canelo is all hype
golden boy does not have any confidence in his abilities because if they did they would have put him in against the likes of
angulo, kirkland, vanes, rodriguez, dzinziruk, lara, williams, bundrage, molina
instead golden boy knows the guy is limited and will keep him away from previously mentioned boxers and wait to cash him out with a big money fight against floyd, pac, and cotto
or match him up with faded and marquee names mosely already signed to fight. standby margarito and mayorga
to keep canelo busy they will have make the easiest and softest mandatory defenses in mexico

Canelo needs to man up and fight somebody. I don't like Chavez but if it's true he's going to fight Lee and then Martinez, I got to give him respect even if he loses. it more than Canelo is doing. fighting bums, smaller guys and shot fighters just don't cut it for a so called champion.
154 has a lot of talent but Canelo hasn't even beat one of them.

The G7 leading industrial nations pledged last year to phase out fossil fuels by the year 2100. While the announcement by German Chancellor Angela Merkel was hailed by environmental campaigners as historic, a new study claims the feat could theoretically be achieved by 2026. Researchers at the University of Sussex found that, if the right measures were put in place, the world could completely transition away from fossil fuels in less than a decade. "Energy transitions have no magic formula," the study, published in the journal Energy Research and Social Science, states. "Moving to a new, cleaner energy system would require significant shifts in technology, political regulations, tariffs and pricing regimes, and the behaviour of users and adopters.
We can run the world without consuming the earth: The Solar Impulse journey continues
The Solar Impulse project to fly a plane around the world without consuming a drop of fossil fuel is nearing the end of the Pacific crossing — its biggest hurdle. While its mission is not over yet, the team has already demonstrated that renewables can provide reliable power both day and night, an important step towards a clean energy future.To get this far, the Solar Impulse team has had to overcome many of the same technological challenges that are facing humanity on our low-carbon transition. Its solutions to these challenges deserve our attention.
Global electric car sales on the rise
After four years of steady growth, U.S. plug-in electric car sales were essentially flat last year. Low gas prices and increased demand for SUVs had a dampening effect on the segment, which still accounts for a very small fraction of U.S. new-car sales. However, in other parts of the world, it was a different story. Global electric-car sales actually increased significantly last year, thanks to strong sales outside the U.S., according to data compiled by the Department of Energy.
Follow the sun
RAED KHADER, a Jordanian driver, has an alarming habit of thumbing his mobile phone while at the wheel—albeit on a straight road cutting across the desert. But after scrolling back through almost two years of photos, he finds a picture that tickles him: of camels against a sandy backdrop. Today that same spot outside Ma'an, a poverty-stricken city in south Jordan, is crawling with workers in the final stages of installing five square kilometres (almost two square miles) of solar panels.
Lance Brown: Wind energy tax credits are working for Oklahoma
Subsidies for renewable energy aren't always all they are cracked up to be. The Partnership for Affordable Clean Energy has written in recent years of failed promises and bad policies that hurt taxpayers. On the other hand, we back a simple strategy about renewables: Build them where they work best. Subsidies, too, should be targeted to create real, measurable results.
Corporate green bond issuance could triple this year
The issuance of green bonds by corporates could reach up to $28 billion this year, three times more than last year, if the Chinese green bond market takes off as expected, credit ratings agency Standard & Poor's said on Friday. Green bonds are created to fund clean energy or low-carbon infrastructure projects such as water treatment or wind and solar plants. They are typically issued by banks and corporate companies. The corporate sector issued $9.6 billion in green bonds last year and will issue at least $15 billion this year, Standard & Poor's said in a report.
Energy Department Announces $4 Million for Projects Launching the Orange Button Solar Energy Data Initiative
The Energy Department today announced nearly $4 million for projects to increase access to solar data. Four partners will help launch the new Orange Button℠ initiative, which will increase solar market transparency and fair pricing by establishing data standards for the industry. In order to understand the financial risk of solar energy project development, the solar energy community relies on fragmented datasets released by state energy offices and a limited number of private organizations regarding project origination, grid integration, operations, and retirement. These datasets vary widely in format, quality, and content, which makes it difficult for potential providers to have an accurate understanding of potential markets. The Orange Button project will standardize this data, making it easier to share and secure, which will ensure a more standardized and transparent marketplace.
Renewable Portfolio Standards Drive 60% of US Clean Energy Boom
The renewable portfolio standards that many states have enacted are responsible for 60 percent of the growth in non-hydro renewable energy generation, according to a new study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Most of the additional capacity to meet RPS requirements has come from wind, but in recent years, solar energy is gaining traction. Renewable portfolio standards call for a certain percentage of power generation to come from renewable resources, although what qualifies as renewable and which power generators have to meet the obligations varies by state.
Report: One-third of solar installers offer energy storage, number set to rise
Just over one-third of solar photovoltaic installers offer energy storage solutions to customers, and those numbers could rise significantly in the coming year, according to a new report.
A report by research group EuPD found that only 34% of PV installers in the United States offer storage solutions to customers, but 26% of those who do not said they hope to do so this year.
Of the installers who do not offer storage, 38% said current battery prices inhibit them offering storage to customers.
Where Is Solar Booming In America? Here Are The Top 10 Solar States
Talk about an energy revolution. In 2007, there were no utility-scale solar power plants in the US. Today, there are hundreds. It's not just what this growth means for cutting carbon pollution and fighting climate change that's so exciting – it's also what it means for the economy. Solar power is creating jobs almost 12 times faster than the overall US economy. Last year, the US solar workforce grew by more than 20 percent for the third year in a row. Better for the environment and a dynamic tool for economic growth and job creation, solar power shines in plenty of ways. That's why many states are investing in it – and seeing the results. To show how, new statistics from the Solar Energy Industries Association ranks the top 10 solar states, based on cumulative solar capacity installed, as of March 2016.

This paper presents a method for separating small metallic nonferrous particles from two-component nonferrous mixtures using, a new type of dynamic eddy-current separator with permanent magnets. The so-called inclined drum eddy-current separator (IDECS) consists of an inclined vertical rotary drum covered with permanent magnets, alternately N-S and S-N oriented, directly fixed on the axis of an electric engine. The particles to be separated are brought into the field on an oblique trajectory, hit the drum, and are deflected in the variable field under electrodynamic and mechanical interactions. The strongly conducting and poorly conducting particles assume different trajectories depending on their electrical conductivities, which lead to their separation. The paper presents the results of grade and recovery of wastes consisting of small particles (under 5 mm) derived from Cu-Pb and Cu-Al mixtures. The advantages of IDECS are that its efficiency is close to that of the usual dynamic eddy-current separator and its equipment cost is lower. A disadvantage is that the intermediate product must be passed again through a separation process

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
(Photo: REUTERS/Tami Chappell)
Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, civil rights icon and co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, died Wednesday. He was 82.
Shuttlesworth devoted his life to championing civil rights nationwide and joined Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders to establish the SCLC despite facing bombings, beatings and death threats in Birmingham, AL., where he served as pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church in the 1950s and '60s.
In his 1963 book, Why We Can't Wait, King referred to Shuttlesworth as "one of the nation's most courageous freedom fighters."
In 1966, Shuttlesworth became the pastor of the Greater New Light Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, and served as founding director of the Shuttlesworth Housing Foundation until he retired in 2008.

Comments about 'Doug Robinson: New Spielberg movie 'Lincoln' mostly accurate, expert claims'

Great film with mesmerizing performances. Daniel Day-Lewis is so good as Lincoln that I had to see it a 2nd time just a week later. The film isn't short (about 2.5 hours) but Day-Lewis is so amazing with his performance that you just want to see more and more. He's the guaranteed Oscar winner as far as I'm concerned. I also think Tommy Lee Jones will win for best supporting actor. As a student of Lincoln and the Civil War (though certainly not on par with Prof. Peterson), I was very impressed with the accuracy. It also doesn't hurt that the actors have great resemblance to the real-life people they portrayed). An excellent, memorable film.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this film. I also wish I could retake Professor Peterson's class at USU as a more mature adult rather than a sleep-deprived 19-yr-old freshman. His fascination with Lincoln is apparent and, even from just reading this article, contagious.

A film marvel. Have to laugh at some who don't think it historically
accurate and was happy to have Prof. Peterson's confirmation that is truly
is accurate. Filmmakers must take a few creative voyages for the dramatic text,
but Spielberg's departures are so minor as to be irrelevant -- like having
the two white and one black soldiers recite part of the Gettysburg address. Did
it happen? Who cares? It makes the point that the Address was for everyone and
an incredible part of the American thread. Beyond that one could quibble if
Robert ran to the door or walked briskly. It mattereth not. He got there.
This is a must see movie for every American from 12 on up and some younger than that. And if the kid is bored the first time, keep taking him back until he sees the majesty, the incredible scope and dignity of Abraham Lincoln, a leader for the ages.

I hope this sparks enough interest to get a full mini-series on the life of
Lincoln by more great movie makers. This story of the 13th Amendment has me
curious on the rest of Lincoln's life. If you liked McCullough's John
Adams you will love Spielberg's Lincoln.
So relevant to today regarding war. Should we pull out of the Middle East before more of our sons and daughters die? Can we pull out of the Middle East before we can guarantee democracy, resulting in the deaths of our soldiers in vain?
The Nation could not face ending the Civil War after so much blood-shed without a greater cause. The 13th Amendment guaranteed that their sons and daughters would not die in vain.

We report a quantum dot sensitized solar cell (QDSSC) with a thioglycolic acid (TGA) capped CdSe quantum dot (QD) sensitized ZnO nanorod photoanode. As revealed by UV-Vis absorption spectrum and transmission electron microscopy, the quantum dots can be effectively adsorbed onto ZnO nanorods. By studying the emission decay, the quenching of the CdSe QDs by ZnO nanorod was verified, and an electron transfer (from QD to ZnO) rate constant of 1 x 108 s−1 was obtained. The efficiency of the as-prepared QDSSC was 0.66% and an incident power conversion efficiency of 22% at 400 nm was achieved.
1. Introduction
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a multifunctional material with a wide direct band gap (3.37 eV) and large exciton binding energy (60 meV) [1], which has attracted tremendous attention as a potential candidate for applications in filed emissions [2], light-emitting diode [3], biosensors [4], electrochromic display [5], dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) [6], and quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) [7]. Besides a proper energy level and high electronic mobility, ZnO has other unique advantages suitable for QDSSC photoanode. For example, ZnO can be easily fabricated in nanowire form; a morphology that helps to improve the electron transport by avoiding particle-to-particle hopping that occurs in the TiO2 network (used in conventional QDSSC) [8]. ZnO nanorod array also acts as an efficient antireflection coating layer to increase light coupling in solar cells [9]. To aid the readers, the basic working mechanism of QDSSC with ZnO photoanode is briefed as follow. Under sunlight irradiation, electron-hole pairs are firstly generated in QDs. With proper band alignment, some electrons can be injected from the QD excited state into the ZnO conduction band (before thermal de-excitation or any other quenching process occurs). Then some injected electrons are transported through ZnO and collected by the external circuit. The holes are scavenged by the electrolyte, which is connected by a counter electrode and linked to the external circuit.
However, few ZnO nanostructure based QDSSCs have been reported and the efficiency is rather low. Zhang et al. applied a chemical deposition method to load QDs onto ZnO nanowires and obtained an efficiency of 0.34% [10]. Leschkies et al. performed plasma treatment on ZnO nanowire to effectively adsorb mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) capped CdSe and the power conversion efficiency obtained was 0.4% [8].
In this letter, we shall report a QDSSC with ZnO-nanorod photoanode fabricated by low temperature hydrothermal decomposition. CdSe QDs were loaded onto ZnO nanorods through two capping ligands, thioglycolic acid (TGA) and MPA, which can form chemical bonds with ZnO leading to a large loading of QDs. We show that the electron transfer is faster in ZnO-TGA-CdSe system due to a shorter chain length of TGA (HS-CH2-COOH) compared to MPA (HS-(CH2)2-COOH) molecule.
2. Experiment
To fabricate TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs, a 1 mL purified OA-capped CdSe QD toluene solution containing approximately 50 mg of CdSe QDs was firstly mixed with 1mL TGA (MPA) and 1 mL acetone in a vial. The OA-capped QDs synthesis can be found elsewhere [7]. The mixture solution was continuously stirred for 30 - 40 min (some ethanol was added). The solution was then centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 5 min with the supernatant discarded. The resulting precipitates containing TGA-capped CdSe QDs were dissolved in ethanol solution and some tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) in methanol was added to make it clear. ZnO nanorod was grown by a hydrothermal method at 95°C [5]. In brief, a 10 nm ZnO seed layer was firstly deposited on a fluorine-doped SnO2 (FTO) (15Ω/square, Solaronix) glass substrate by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Then the FTO substrate was immersed in a solution containing 0.01 M zinc nitrate and 0.01 M hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) in a bottle with autoclavable screw cap. The solution was kept at 95°C for 12 hours to grow ZnO nanorods. Then the as-grown nanorods were treated by oxygen plasma for 2 min. After plasma treatment, the ZnO nanorod was kept in TGA- (or MPA) capped CdSe ethanol solution for one day to load QDs. QDSSCs were assembled with the QD loaded ZnO nanorod substrate and a 200Å platinum-coated indium tin oxide (ITO) glass counter electrode. A 60 µm thermal-plastic spacer was used to separate the two electrodes. Iodide/triiodide (I- / I3 -) electrolyte composed of 0.1 M I2, 0.1 M LiI, 0.5 M terbutylpyridine, and 0.6 M 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide in methoxy-acetnnitrile was injected into the cell by capillary effect. The solar cells with TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe sensitizers were named as sample A, and B respectively. The OA-capped QDs were not used to construct solar cells, as their adsorption to ZnO is physical only.
3. Results and discussion
Figure 1(a) shows the absorption spectra of OA-, TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe solutions which exhibit a characteristic sharp peak at their band edges. Since the CdSe QDs can be well dissolved in nonpolar (chloroform for OA-capped) and polar (ethanol for both TGA- and MPA-capped) solvent, the ligand capped CdSe should be hydrophobic with OA-capping and hydrophilic with TGA- and MPA-capping. From the excitonic transition wavelength of 570 nm, the sizes of these QDs are estimated as 3.2 nm [7]. Figure 1(b) shows the absorption spectra of ZnO nanorods before and after sensitization with 3.2 nm TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs. After loading QDs onto ZnO nanorods, the featured peaks of QDs remain unchanged for both TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs [Fig. 1(a)].
Fig. 1
Figure 2(a) and (b) show the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the ZnO nanorods before and after adsorbing TGA-capped CdSe QDs. The QDs adsorbed onto the surface of ZnO nanorod via the carboxylate group in TGA. After sensitization by QDs, the surface of ZnO nanorod becomes rougher [Fig. 2(b)]. Figure 2(c) shows a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the TGA-capped CdSe QDs. It can be seen that the diameter of the QDs is about 3 to 4 nm, consistent with the absorption spectra [Fig. 1(a)]. Figure 2(d) shows a TEM image of TGA-capped CdSe QDs adsorbed on ZnO surface. It has been reported that QDs selectively adsorb onto ZnO surface via the linker, and there is an abrupt transition between the lattice planes of ZnO and the lattice planes of CdSe QD [11].
Fig. 2
Figure 3 (a) and (b) show the current – voltage (I-V) characteristics and incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of samples A and B at simulated one Sun (AM1.5G, 100 mW / cm2). It can be seen that the current density (Jsc) and open circuit voltages (Voc) of the two samples are 2.8 and 2.2 mA/cm2, and 0.58 and 0.558V, for sample A and B respectively. Both the fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (η) of sample A (40.4% and 0.66% respectively) are higher than those of sample B (33.2% and 0.41% respectively). The improvement in η is 38%. The better performance of sample A is possibly due to the shorter chain length of TGA and faster electron transfer rate in ZnO film with TGA-capped CdSe QDs, which helps to reduce the opportunity of electrons and holes recombination.
Fig. 3
The IPCE of unsensitized ZnO nanorod solar cell was also shown in Fig. 3(b). From Fig. 3(b), the sensitization effect of QD is clearly seen. The IPCE peak at 570 nm of samples A and B matches exactly with the first excitonic absorption of CdSe QDs [Fig. 1(a)]. The IPCE at 400 nm and 570 nm are 22% and 16.4%, and 13.6% and 10%, for sample A and B respectively. The higher IPCE of sample A leads to a higher photogenerated current density of sample A, which is consistent with Fig. 3(a).
Lastly, to understand the electron transfer dynamics, we performed time-resolved photoluminescence measurement for the TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs deposited on glass and adsorbed on ZnO nanorods. Figure 4 (a) and (b) show the emission decays recorded for TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs respectively. The triexponential decay kinetics was found suitable in determining the emission lifetimes [12]. The triexponential fitting parameters of the TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs were tabulated in Table 1 . The average lifetime of CdSe emission was estimated using13].It can be seen from Table 1 that the average lifetime of TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs on glass without ZnO is 8.7 ns and 9.6 ns respectively, and it decreases to 4.8 ns and 6.6 ns for TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs on ZnO, respectively. The decrease in lifetime can be attributed to the charge transfer from QD to ZnO, and the charge-transfer rate constant can be estimated by , where and are the average emission lifetimes of CdSe-ZnO and CdSe samples, respectively. Using the data from Table 1, the electron-transfer rate constant can be calculated as 1.0 × 108 and 0.48 × 108 s−1 for TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDs respectively. As a result, the electrons transfer is faster in ZnO-TGA-CdSe system compared to ZnO-MPA-CdSe system. A faster electron transfer reduces electron and hole recombination. Kamat and associates have reported that the rate constant of the electron transfer depended on the size of CdSe QDs and the energy offset between the conduction bands of CdSe and TiO2 [15]. For the same size of QDs, the electron-transfer rate constant is higher in TiO2-CdSe system than that of ZnO-CdSe system (the rate for TiO2-CdSe system is about 108 ~109 for 3.2 nm CdSe QD) [14]. Rachel et al. have studied the relationship between the linker chain length and the electron injection efficiency in CdS-TiO2 system [15]. They observed that, as the linker chain length was increased, the electron injection efficiency was reduced, which is consistent with our result. In ZnO-CdSe system here, TGA has a shorter chain length compared to MPA, leading to a faster electron transfer rate, and a better solar cell performance [Fig. 3(a)].

It is worth mentioning that the PCE obtained here is much lower compared to the start-of-the-art inorganic solar cells. It is clear that electron transfer rate is one of the causes. By engineering the molecular binding, the rate can be improved (as shown here). Moreover, a complete coverage of the ZnO electrode by a monolayer of QDs is important. However, we were not able to achieve complete coverage as shown in Fig. 2(d).
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, ZnO based TGA- and MPA-capped CdSe QDSSCs were studied comparatively. Due to a shorter chain length of TGA, the faster electron transfer rate was faster for CdSe-TGA-ZnO system compared to CdSe-MPA-ZnO. As a result, a PCE of 0.66% was achieved for CdSe-TGA-ZnO cell, which accounts for 38% improvement compared to the CdSe-MPA-ZnO one.
