The courses in Physics emphasize the concepts and techniques that have led to our present way of modeling the world around us. They are designed to both relate the individual parts of physics to the whole and to treat the various subjects in depth. Opportunities exist for interdisciplinary work and for participation by qualified majors in research with members of the faculty and their graduate students. In addition, qualified seniors may take graduate courses.
Required Introductory Courses for the Major and Minor
The introductory courses required for the physics major and minor are PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 (or PHYS 101 and 102) and MATH 101 and MATH 102. Although College credit is given for a score of 4 or 5 on the AP tests and for a score of 5 or above on the IB examination, the AP and IB courses are not equivalent to PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 and advanced placement will not, in general, be given. However, students with a particularly strong background in physics are encouraged to take the departmental advanced placement examination either during the summer before entering Bryn Mawr or just prior to, or during, the first week of classes. Then, the department can place students in the appropriate course. Students are not given credit for courses they place out of as a result of taking this placement exam. It is best for a student considering a physics major to complete the introductory requirements in the first year. However, the major sequence is designed so that a student who completes the introductory sequence by the end of the sophomore year can major in physics.
Major Requirements
Beyond the two introductory physics courses and the two introductory mathematics courses, nine additional courses are required for the major. (Haverford courses may be substituted for Bryn Mawr courses where appropriate.) Six of the nine courses must be PHYS 201, 214, 306, 331, and MATH 201, 203. The remaining three courses must be chosen from among the other 300-level physics courses, one of which may be substituted with any one course from among ASTR 305, 320, and 322, or any one course from among MATH 303, 312, and 322.
The department has been very successful in preparing students for graduate school in physics, physical chemistry, materials science, engineering, and related fields. To be well prepared for graduate school, students should take PHYS 302, 303, 308, and 309 (in addition to PHYS 306 and 331 which are required for the major). These students should also take any additional physics, mathematics, and chemistry courses that reflect their interests, and should engage in research with a member of the faculty by taking PHYS 403. (Note that PHYS 403 is usually two semesters and does not count toward one of the 13 courses required for the major.) Seniors can take graduate courses, usually PHYS 501: Quantum Mechanics or PHYS 503: Electromagnetism, to get a head start on graduate school.
Typical plans for a basic four-year major in physics are listed below.
Four-Year Plan meeting the minimum requirements for the major:
1st Year
2nd Year
3rd Year
PHYS 306, 331, and one other 300-level physics course
4th Year
Two 300-level physics courses
Four-Year Plan providing adequate preparation for graduate school:
1st Year
2nd Year
3rd Year
PHYS 306, 331, and either 303, 309 or 308, 302
4th Year
PHYS 308, 302 or 303, 309
PHYS 403 (both semesters)
The physics program at Bryn Mawr allows for a student to major in physics even if the introductory courses are not completed until the end of the sophomore year, as long as calculus (MATH 101 and 102) is taken in the first year. It is also possible, although difficult, for the student majoring in three years to be adequately prepared for graduate school. To do this, the outline below should be supplemented with (at least) PHYS 403 for both semesters in the 4th year.
Three-Year Plan meeting the minimum requirements for the major:
1st Year
2nd Year
3rd Year
4th Year
Three 300-level physics courses
The A.B. degree may be awarded with honors in physics. The award is based on the quality of original research done by the student and a minimum grade point average. The research must be described in a senior thesis presented to the department. A grade point average of 3.4 or higher in 200- and 300-level physics courses (excluding PHYS 380 and 390) and an overall grade point average of at least 3.0, both calculated at the end of the senior year, must be achieved.
Minor Requirements
The requirements for the minor, beyond the introductory sequence, are PHYS 201, 214, 306, 331; MATH 201, 203; and one additional 300-level physics course. The astronomy and mathematics courses described under "Major Requirements" may not be substituted for the one additional 300-level physics course.
Minor in Educational Studies or Secondary-School Teacher Certification
Students majoring in physics can pursue a minor in educational studies or state certification to teach at the secondary-school level. Students seeking the minor need to complete six education courses including a two-semester senior seminar, which requires five to eight hours per week of fieldwork. To earn secondary-school certification (grades 7-12) in physics, students must: complete the physics major plus two semesters of chemistry and one semester as a teaching assistant in a laboratory for introductory or intermediate physics courses; complete six education courses; and student-teach full-time (for two course credits) second semester of their senior year.
A.B./M.A. Program
To earn an M.A. degree in physics in the College's A.B./M.A. program, a student must complete the requirements for an undergraduate physics major and also must complete six units of graduate level work in physics. Of these six units, as many as two units may be undergraduate courses at the 300 level taken for graduate credit (these same two courses may be used to fulfill the major requirements for the A.B. degree), at least two units must be graduate seminars at the 500 level, and two units must be graduate research at the 700 level leading to the submission and oral defense of an acceptable M.A. thesis. Students must also demonstrate skill in computing or in a foreign language.
3-2 Program in Engineering and Applied Science
The 3-2 Program in Engineering and Applied Science is offered in cooperation with the California Institute of Technology. Students earn both an A.B. at Bryn Mawr and a B.S. at Caltech. Financial aid is not available at Caltech for non-US citizens.
Courses at Haverford College
Many upper-level physics courses are taught at Haverford and Bryn Mawr in alternate years as indicated in the listings of the specific courses below. These courses (numbered 302, 303, 308, 309, and 322) may be taken at either institution to satisfy major requirements. In addition, 100- and 200-level courses can be used to replace 100- and 200-level courses at Bryn Mawr but these courses are not identical and careful planning is required.
Introductory Physics Sequences
Students on a pre-health professions track wanting to take one year of physics should take PHYS 101 and PHYS 102. Some students on a physical sciences major track could take PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 and others might take PHYS 122 and PHYS 201.

London (Jun. 17)
The Jewish Agency will refuse to discuss any aspects of the Palestine problem with either the British or American Governments until the inquiry committee's recommendation that 100,000 Jews be admitted is carried out, the Agency has informed the Foreign Office. This was made clear in a section of the statement submitted by the Agency yesterday in reply to invitations from the U.S. and British Governments.
"What has happened since the publication of the committee's report," the Agency said, "has given rise to serious misgivings and perturbation among the Jews in Palestine and throughout the world, who see cause for grave concern in the hesitation and delay shown in implementing the committee's positive recommendations. The fact that Jews are still confined to displaced persons camps a year after Germany's defeat and the continuing deterioration of the position of the Jews in Europe, makes such procrastination indefensible." (The first section of the Jewish Agency's statement was published in yesterday's Bulletin.)

Crabs not only suffer pain but remember it, a study has found. The research calls into question a popular view that when small animals recoil from unpleasantness, it's just reflex without actual feeling. The study, by Bob Elwood and Mirjam Appel at Queen's University Belfast, is to appear in an upcoming issue of the research journal Animal Behaviour. Hermit crabs have no shell of their own so they inhabit other, empty shells that they find. They prefer some types of shells over others, and will switch shells if they see a better option. Elwood and colleagues subjected crabs to small electric shocks within their shells. By design, the shocks were usually too weak to prompt immediate evacuation. Rather, Elwood said, shocked crabs simply were more likely than others to switch shells when they were later offered a new one. The outcome suggests crabs were considering pain in their decisionmaking, not just responding in a knee-jerk fashion, said Elwood, who did previous research indicating prawns endure pain. "There has been a long debate about whether crustaceans including crabs, prawns and lobsters feel pain," he noted. "We know from previous research that they can detect harmful stimuli and withdraw from the source of the stimuli but that could be a simple reflex without the inner 'feeling' of unpleasantness that we associate with pain. "This research demonstrates that it is not a simple reflex but that crabs trade-off their need for a quality shell with the need to avoid the harmful stimulus. Such trade-offs are seen in vertebrates in which the response to pain is controlled with respect to other requirements. Humans, for example, may hold on a hot plate that contains food whereas they may drop an empty plate, showing that we take into account differing motivational requirements when responding to pain." Elwood said that unlike mammals, the millions of crustaceans caught for food daily receive little protection against pain. "Potentially very large problem is being ignored," he said. "Legislation to protect crustaceans has been proposed but it is likely to cover only scientific research."

Treating bis(9-borobicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) (I) with quinuclidine (II) in hydrocarbon solvents at 150 Deg gives quinuclidino-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]- (III) and -[4.2.1]nonane (IV), which are sepd. by fractional crystn. after rapid cooling. The differing intermol. interactions found in cryst. III and IV by x-ray anal. reflect some of their solid-state properties. IV reacts with BF3.OEt2 to give an approx. equimolar mixt. of syn- (V) and anti-bis(9-borabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane) (VI).

Unstructured processes of strategic decision-making
Tonelli, Marcello (2011) Unstructured processes of strategic decision-making. Lambert Academic Publishing, Saarbrucken, Germany.
The author aims at developing a better understanding of unstructured strategic decision making processes and the conditions for achieving successful decision outcomes. Specifically he investigates the processes used to make CRE (Corporate Real Estate) decisions. To reveal the fundamental differences between CRE decision-making in practice and the prescriptive 'best practice' advocated in the CRE literature, a study of seven leading Italian management consulting firms is undertaken addressing the aspects of content and process of decisions. This research makes its primary contribution by identifying the importance and difficulty of finding the right balance between problem complexity, process richness and cohesion to ensure a decision-making process that is sufficiently rich and yet quick enough to deliver a prompt outcome. While doing so, the study also provides more empirical evidence to some of the most established theories of decision-making, while reinterpreting their mono-dimensional arguments in a multi-dimensional model of successful decision-making.

Resident gives gourmet popcorn a natural twist
Brenda Stanton is busy during the work week as a paraprofessional at Pine Hill Elementary in Cottage Grove. But when away from the school, Stanton can be found experimenting in her kitchen.
The Woodbury resident runs a business, Driving Force Energy Co., that sells all-natural energy bars and gourmet popcorn.
This isn't your ordinary butter lover's special or kettle corn. Stanton's flavors are what some might call eclectic, for popcorn anyway: blueberry, chocolate, peanut butter, peppermint, jalapeno, strawberry, rhubarb, caramel and even spicy habanera.
Energy bars are themed as "PB & J," "cranberry almond" and "cashew cherry berry."
Stanton said she tries to use as many locally grown foods as possible.
"I've always cooked," she said. "I grew up cooking."
Stanton cooks all of her products at the Newport United Methodist Church kitchen and sells them at local farmer's markets.
Kitchen experiments
Stanton first began dabbling in making energy bars about three years ago when she worked as a manager at Fresco Foods, which became Kowalski's.
In her job, Stanton would experiment with different foods to see what she could come up with for the company.
"I was trying to look at different ideas to expand what we cold do there," she said.
During that process, Stanton began experimenting with energy bars after looking online.
Stanton said she wanted to use all-natural ingredients such as grains, fruit, honey, pure vanilla, and molasses. You won't find corn syrup in any of her recipes.
"In a lot of energy bars there are things you can't even pronounce so you have to wonder what they are," she said.
After Kowalski's purchased the company, Stanton pitched her recipe to the executive chef, however he wanted the recipe to market it himself.
"I said 'I'm not giving you the recipe, I came up with the recipe,'" she said. "I thought 'Why can't I market it.'"
Thus Driving Force Energy Co. was born.
Playing with popcorn
About a year and half ago, Stanton began making gourmet popcorn after being inspired by a friend who said she had seen such flavors in another market out West.
"The popcorn was blueberry and all of these funny flavors," she said. "But they're not all natural so I started to wonder if I could do it with natural ingredients.
"I wanted to make the popcorn more healthy, but it's still probably not that healthy for you."
Her very first batch was caramel. She then experimented with other, more adventurous flavors.
"I flubbed up several times," she said.
Stanton said the key to the sweet popcorn -- the blueberry, the strawberry and the rhubarb -- is to use dried ingredients.
Shortly after Stanton had mastered her sweet popcorn, she was approached by a friend to experiment with some of his peppers.
"So, that started the spicy popcorn," she said.
Stanton currently has three spicy popcorn recipes -- jalapeno, sweet and spicy with cayenne pepper and the "sinfully hot" with habanera peppers.
Stanton warns to not be deceived by the sweet caramel taste at the beginning; the aftertaste will get you.
Stanton is currently dabbling in creating pumpkin pie popcorn, caramel apple popcorn and cheese popcorn.
When Stanton is at the farmer's markets, she said she definitely gets some confused looks from customers over her unique popcorn flavors.
"Don't knock it until you try it," she said. "I get such self-gratification when my recipes turn out."
Brenda Stanton sells her Driving Force Energy Co. energy bars and popcorns at the St. Paul Farmer's Market every Saturday from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Golden Fig, located on Grand Ave. in St. Paul, at the Mississippi Market Food Co-op, on Selby Ave. in St. Paul and Valley Natural Foods in Burnsville.

" Midland Street, Leicester. "
Being a DJ myself this is probably the best sound system I've had the fortune to play on, I only played the one night to cover a friend who was double booked but was impressed by the way the bass pounded through your chest.... Very Good ! I did have a slight dis-agreement with the management and the rate of pay that I was supposed to collect but this obviously wouldn't affect the clubber who is there for a good time. The lighting is steady, could be better for this type of venue but the sound quality is the real pleaser for this venue !

Perhaps the MIME type could be encoded or compressed somehow, e.g. assign
a 16-bit integer to every known MIME type, although that my complicate the
process of adding new types to be handled with external parsers.

The Cancer-Healing
Fucoidan has been lauded by the mass media and medical community around
the world. A slimy substance found in Okinawa mozuku (nemacystus decipiens) and mekabu (undaria pinnatifida),
fucoidan destroys cancer cells by inducing apoptosis.
Who would have thought a powerful "anticancer agent" would be found in the sea? A highly
viscous material, fucoidan awakens the body's natural healing power-or in other words, the immunity - in ways not
heretofore possible.
Let's find out more about the amazing cancer-healing power of fucoidan, which even
oncologists are acknowledging.
To put it simply, fucoidan not only enhances the patient's natural healing power but also
"promotes apoptosis of cancer cells. This is indeed its most remarkable function.
This remarkable nutrient comes to us from brown seaweed deep on the ocean floor.
Science has long been aware of the tropical rainforests as a source of abundant and diverse life and unique
compounds for scientific study and research. But, it seems, we have only scratched the surface of the treasures we
can derive from the ocean floor plant life. Most people, for instance, have never heard of
To be specific, fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide that contains a highly beneficial sugar
called fucose. Fucoidan has been shown to stimulate white blood cell growth as well as maintain the health of
current white blood cells in the body. Our white blood cells are, of course, a central part of our body's immune
defense against foreign invaders and illness.
In addition to boosting the immune system, all nutrition begins in the stomach and intestinal tract. If your
body isn't healthy there, then all the good you attempt to do by eating well and taking supplements is not
maximized. Having a healthy upper intestine means that nutrients are absorbed and don't simply flow through your
body unnoticed. Fucoidan promotes the health of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, so that within two to three
weeks of taking a daily dose of fucoidan, your body will be functioning and absorbing the maximum of nutrients you
give it.
Fucoidan is most effective if ingested in its natural state which is
gel form.
Agel UMI (contains 210mg Fucoidan) comes in soft gel packs that are easy to grab and carry in pockets, purses,
lunch bags, whatever. No water is needed when taking Agel – just open, sip and you're done! The body will absorb
the nutrients immediately.

Chinese authorities say they have arrested more than 10,000 suspects and smashed more than 600 gangs during a four-month crackdown on Internet crimes, according to news reports.
At the same time, Beijing police are threatening to punish any online "political rumor" or "attack" on Communist Party leaders, the system or the country, raising fears of tighter controls on speech on the country's 538 million Internet users.
The Ministry of Public Security said "major crimes uncovered" during the nationwide operation since May include "spreading pornographic information, trading guns, wiretapping devices, counterfeiting [professional] certificates as well as illegally collecting and selling citizens' personal information," the official Xinhua News Agency writes.
The cyber-police have also deleted 3.2 million messages deemed "harmful," closed hundreds of Internet cafes and punished 30 service providers for granting access to unlicensed sites, the BBC says.
Additionally, 62 websites and online forums were ordered to remove "inappropriate content."
In southern China, police reported detaining "a gang of hackers" believed responsible for attacks on 185 government websites, the state-run China Daily newspaper says.
The warning from Beijing's Public Security Bureau about Internet comments came Tuesday during a meeting about protecting minors online, the Global Times reports.
Chief Fu Zhenghua said the police had set up "platforms" to "report offenses on major microblog sites to reinforce oversight," the Times writes. He did not specify what would constitute an "attack" or "political rumor," raising concerns about censorship or police abuse.
"It's increasingly difficult for the authorities to control what people are saying bearing in mind the rise of 'netizens' -- individuals sharing their opinions over the Internet," an investment banker told the BBC. "People have felt that they could speak out because of the anonymity the net offered, which is why the government is now cracking down on this, demanding that people register their accounts with their real names."
In May, a BBC article asked, "Will China's Great Firewall backfire?"
China's crackdown comes as the U.S. Congress is considering new cybersecurity legislation.
The Senate voted today to begin debating and amending the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which is intended to bolster cyber-defenses against attacks on communications systems and infrastructure.
The measure "calls for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to assess risks and vulnerabilities of computer systems running at critical infrastructure sites such as power companies and electricity and water utilities and to work with the operators to develop security standards that they would be required to meet," Cnet wrote when the legislation was introduced in February.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation says the Cybersecurity Act "poses serious threats to online rights."
The House approved a similar bill in April -- the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act -- despite a threatened White House veto. The measure encourages but does not require companies and the federal government to share information collected on the Internet to prevent against online attacks.

I am trying to understand the thinking behind the great many Americans who have decided to vote for a mainstream politician in 2012.
Now before you read the below and send me an angry email telling me I should be nice, that I should try to persuade them through love, etc., let me note that I have generally done that. My video appeal to Iowa radio host Steve Deace was a friendly, reasoned discussion of Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. My videos about Rick Santorum have been straight forward examinations of the facts. See my video on Santorum's view that we need inflation in order to prosper, and my video on why Catholics should instead vote for Ron Paul. But once in a while you just can't take it anymore, and you have to let loose. So, whether they realize it or not, here are 26 things non-Paul supporters appear to be saying.
1 The American political establishment has done a super job keeping our country prosperous and our liberties protected, so I'm sure whatever candidate they push on me is probably a good one.
2 Our country is basically bankrupt. Unfunded entitlement liabilities are in excess of twice world GDP. Therefore, it's a good idea to vote for someone who offers no specific spending cuts of any kind.
3 Vague promises to cut spending are good enough for me, even though they have always resulted in higher spending in the past.
4 I prefer a candidate who plays to the crowd, instead of having the courage to tell his audience things they may not want to hear.
5 I am deeply concerned about spending. Therefore, I would like to vote for someone who supported Medicare Part D, thereby adding $7 trillion to Medicare's unfunded liabilities.
6 I am opposed to bailouts. Therefore, I will vote for a candidate who supported TARP.
7 The federal government is much too involved in education, where it has no constitutional role. Therefore, I will vote for a candidate who supported expanding the Department of Education and favored the No Child Left Behind Act.
8 Even though practically everyone was caught by surprise in the 2008 financial crisis, which we are still reeling from, it's a good idea not to vote for the one man in politics who predicted exactly what was bound to unfold, all the way back in 2001.
9 I am not impressed by a candidate who inspires people, especially young ones, to read the great economists and political philosophers.
10 I am concerned about taxes. Therefore, I will not vote for the one candidate who has never supported a tax increase.
11 I believe it is conservative to support bringing the Enlightenment to Afghanistan.
12 Even though I lost half my retirement portfolio when the economy crashed from the sugar high the Federal Reserve's artificially low interest rates put it on, I would like to vote for someone who is not really interested in the Federal Reserve.

Victor (Farrell) has infiltrated a gang led by Alphonse (Howard), intent on avenging the deaths of his family. Beatrice (Rapace), Victors neighbour, tries to blackmail him into targeting a drunk driver who caused an accident which disfigured her.
A New York-set thriller with an interesting, international cast, this opens with a feint that suggests it's going to be a version of The Long Good Friday, as a cool criminal who tries to conduct himself like a businessman finds a dead minion in his freezer and is rattled by an ongoing campaign of persecution which is rocking his mini-empire.
Terrence Howard is great as the Bob Hoskins figure, sleazily well-dressed and descending to hysterical cruelty, relying only on the lieutenant who saves his life in a shoot-out. Then the viewpoint shifts to Colin Farrell's efficient gangland enforcer, who has more than enough secrets of his own to cover up, but still takes time to have a first date with the girl in the flat opposite. She looks pretty from across a courtyard but turns out to be scarred (inside and out) and have her own maniac agenda, which complicates his own and makes him question where his plan is leading.
This is the first English-language work from Danish director Niels Arden Oplev, who made an international impact with the Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; he brings along Noomi Rapace, the original Lisbeth Salander, and gives her a much better role than she has had in bigger English-language films like Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows and Prometheus, even if there's a sense lurking in the background that J. H. Wyman's complex script might play even better if rewritten so Rapace and Farrell could switch roles. However, Farrell, as reliably good in medium-budget quirky crime as he is reliably flat in anything more expensive, does wounded noir sensitivity with a side-order of righteous fury very well, as if fusing Montgomery Clift with Lee Marvin. Rapace starts with focused dementia (the canny make-up scars her without making her less sexy) and blossoms in an affecting manner, which shows (as did the Norwegian ghost/psycho story Babycall) that she can be great outside her signature Lisbeth role.
A pleasingly intricate double (or is it triple?) revenge plot anchored by excellent acting, with a terrific burst of action at the climax.

The John and Annie Glenn Historic Site in New Concord will open for its third season on Thursday, and if you havent been there, you ought to go.
Even if you have been there, a return visit should prove worthwhile.
What we want to establish, says Director Don McKendry, is the fact that the Glenn site is the kind of facility that can be visited not just once, but many times.
Several new exhibits are in place and more are planned. Part of the site is the accurately restored boyhood home of John Glenn, complete with volunteer actors portraying members of the Glenn family during 1944, when John the U.S. Marine pilot was off fighting the war that saved the world.
According to McKendry, the John and Annie Glenn Historic Site grew from 3,500 visitors the first year to 5,200 last year, and more are expected this season.
This area has produced no one more prominent in public life than John Herschel Glenn Jr. and his marriage to Anna Margaret Castor on April 6, 1943, is one of lifes great love stories. Their marriage has survived the prolonged separations of two wars, the seemingly endless public scrutiny of a political family and the uncertainty of the daredevil life of a test pilot and astronaut.
The John and Annie Glenn Historic Site stands as a fitting tribute to the life of a man who is a paradigm of an American small-town boy who made good.

James Hardie shares fell quickly in early trade following the release of the company's United States business overview on Wednesday night.
James Hardie told the ASX it did not know of any other reason for the sudden decline in its share price.
The report, released in advance of James Hardie's annual US tour for investors and analysts, highlighted a worse than expected housing starts forecast, a demographic shift away from the company's target market and the loss of market share.
''Our FY11 (fiscal 2011) forecast, based on actual volume, and our forecast of the current market opportunity over the remainder of the year indicates that we have lost some level of category and/or market share in FY11,'' James Hardie said in the report.
Shares in James Hardie recovered slightly to close down 35 cents, or 5.9 per cent, at $5.59, after hitting an earlier low of $5.46.
James Hardie said it might experience negative primary demand growth, that is from first time buyers, for the full year if the fiscal 2011 housing starts forecast was correct.
''Most market participants, including James Hardie, expected a recovering market in FY11,'' the presentation to analysts said. ''Recent starts forecasts have consistently been downgrades.
''Sales of both new and existing homes are down significantly... a high unemployment rate and ongoing mortgage foreclosure overhang makes it difficult to predict when a sustainable housing recovery will begin.''
James Hardie also said its fibre cement products had lost category share among big builders, multi family and non-metro markets.
''Our competitive intelligence suggests that we have experienced a small category share decline from six quarters ago.
''We will go after these losses by executing strategies within multifamily, non-metro and big builder segments to win back fibre cement business.''
Vinyl also appeared to have lost market share as consumers switched to cheaper options like wood, the report said.
James Hardie said a demographic shift away from move-up and luxury buyers contributed to the decline in US market share.

SolarX Energy has launched its much anticipated SolarX Hybrid - a total solar energy solution expected to raise the bar on solar-generated clean energy by coupling thermal (hot water) production output of over 100,000 BTUs per day with electrical power production of up to 1.0 kilowatt per day.
The new system combines the features of the company's patented SolarX-164 parabolic solar thermal collector with peripherally mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels, which generate electrical power by instantaneously converting solar radiation into electricity.
SolarX's unique SunHound tracking device precisely follows the sun's position for maximum solar efficiency and output. With its proprietary tracking system, the Hybrid's PV panels are capable of increasing electrical production by more than 25% over traditional fixed PV tracking.
In addition to promising cost savings for government, commercial and institutional operations, the unit is a stand-alone energy system for remote areas - a welcome relief for such diverse off-the-grid operations as agricultural sites and third-world hospitals.
The PV panels produce enough energy to power the system's tracking motor, and the excess electric power production can be used or fed back into the grid.
"The beauty of this system is that massive energy-consuming (and polluting) enterprises will be able to capture more of the sun's power more consistently, more affordably and without any external power source, thereby increasing their ability to generate clean energy more easily and reduce their overall energy costs - wherever they operate in the world," said company Chairman Edward Penson.
The SolarX Hybrid can be scaled to fit site needs, servicing differing loads, producing steam for manufacturing facilities, solar cooling for commercial sites, and electrical power to supplement grid load.
Installed along a north-south axis, the system tracks the sun from dawn in the east to dusk in the west.
SolarX products can be seen in action on our website.
"The system permits ultimate flexibility, in that different sizes and outputs of PV panels can be utilized.
As technology in PV panels evolves, the more advanced panels can be utilized without affecting the main system," said Chief Technology Officer David Matalon.
He added, "The proprietary tracking devices controlling the movement of the system are attached independently to each pair of collectors in order to ensure maximum efficiency, which is vitally important on partly cloudy days. T
"he SunHound tracking sensor constantly searches for the brightest point overhead and automatically adjusts the position of the collectors."

Re: st: comparing logit (& mlogit?) coefficients with different dependent variables

Yes you can, as long as you interpret the comparison as describtive
only and do not give it a causal interpretation. In your situation you
would probably not go for a causal interpretation anyhow, since it is
hard to come up with a meaningfull (thought-)experiment that would
correspond with such a comparison. So the "describtive only clause"
above is not much of a limitation in your case.
Ordered model are typically multinomial model with some restrictions
added, so you can use -mlogit- for ordered variables at the price of
estimating more coefficients/loosing statistical power.
Hope this helps,

In the logit case I would just be marking whether the person moved to a different skill level (dependent variable 1), moved to a job with a different physical demand level (dependent 2), or social skill level (dependent 3). I'd want to compare the coefficients of the independent variables in each of these three models.

I realize these three outcomes could be considered ordinal, but I believe that the factors predicting each of the outcomes will be different and therefore the outcomes should have separate sets coefficients. I would, though, like to be able to compare the coefficients in these models across the three different mlogit estimates. Is this a bad idea?

A 12-year-old pupil from Kidderminster is having her long hair cut off to help make a wig for a child affected by cancer.
Tazmin Clarke, of the Bewdley School and Sixth Form Centre, will be donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust, which provides real hair wigs for children suffering from hair loss.
She is also asking for donations to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital after being inspired by Kidderminster two-year-old Charlie Harris-Beard who lost his battle with leukaemia in February.
Her mother Jenny Clarke, 32, said: "She just hopes to make a difference to a child battling cancer.
"The hospital looked after Charlie, it's important to support the children's hospital as you never know when you might need it. It's such a worthwhile cause.
"It was her own idea. I'm just really proud. People have told her she's really brave but she's so grown-up and said 'I'm not brave, just kind. The children are the brave ones.'"
Tazmin has already raised £250 for the children's hospital but hopes to reach £500 by the time her 25-inch-long hair is chopped off on Sunday, March 31.
The Bewdley school has also put collection boxes in year seven classrooms to help Tazmin with her fundraising efforts.
Tazmin's hair will be cut off at home and will be filmed and shared online for sponsors to see.

ONe thing got me thinking about College game.
People always like to tout their team history, but is it possible to go too far? ND got so much love in preseason polls despite not being very good, and fans will say Knute Rockne, etc. etc.
SEC fans do the same thing. (Although to their credit, their teams have had consistant success and have maniacly high standards).
Do you think there some cutoff point to relevancy in the argument of weither your team is good or not? (As much respect I have for General Bob Neyland and the ol timers, it's old news!).
I personally only look back towards the 80s when the football was split between 1-A and 1-AA and scholarships were equalized.

That really was a good defensive game. The Titans did better than I expected, but in the end they felt short and lost to the Steelers, well the Steelers were playing home so they had an advantage.
Looking forward to Sunday and watch the REDSKINS game.

^ I know we can win against the Giants on Sunday. Our defense should do fine especially with Albert Haynesworth in the D-line we can cause some serious pressure on Eli Manning, and without Plaxico they don't have any good receivers they should have a tough time scoring points.
All I'm worried about is our offense I hope the O-line can give Jason Campbell enough time to throw the ball and I also hope Clinton Portis runs over the Giants defense. I'm positive, I feel good about this sunday. Redskins are going to win.

Believe what you what about Rich Rodriguez as a person, but you can't deny he is a great coach. He finally got not one, but three QBs to fit his system, and it's showing on the field. I'm not even a fan, but big win for Michigan over Notre Dame.

What is more dangerous than video games...
I have to admit that our son has some video games which have been targeted by many as being the very ones that are linked to violence. I do believe that excess use of these is not healthy. We do limit how much time he spends playing these role playing shooting games.
But when I listen to some talking about their absolute need for assault style weapons, I'm taken aback by how they think.
It's always about the tyrannical government, society breaking down into pure anarchy, and hordes of violent criminals breaking into your home while the police are so far away that you would be left helpless. In their eyes, it's a frightening world and either we should be armed to the teeth or we should be hiding behind the couch.
To me, this comes across as very frightening and I'm not sure if people who think like this should be armed. I think it's dangerous.

4. This is what happens when media does nothing but shock-articles and play up violence over & over...
Based on the media you'd think there is a criminal rampage being fueled by guns, drugs, and a phantom tyrannical government. Everything from popular shows to the evening news... nothing but media images of cartels, shootings, crime and poverty. Look at sampling of the top ranking shows (Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Criminal Minds, Walking Dead, CSI NY/LA/Miami, The Unit... ...). It's an all out assault against our sensibilities. Hey, if it bleeds it leads, right?
Nevermind that violent crime and gun homicides are achieving decades lows. The news and TeeVee stations need to get those rating and make more money. No, No, No... nevermind the statistics behind the curtains. And what is the product of years and years of this media mass assault? People feeling paranoid to the point that not one assault rifle remains in on the shelves at even 200% MSRP and people are even looking towards video games and violent music absolutely puzzled as to why things are so bad.
Relax people. Take a deep breath. Study the below chart and be at ease. Then spread the good news!

text: Everywhere Bill Parcells has coached, he liked big defenders. He was surprised by the production of his undersized Cowboys his first year on board. In his second year, Dallas was 6-10 and the defense slid from first to sixteenth and gave up 405 points. Suspicions confirmed. You can't consistently win with undersized defenders. The Cowboys used four of their first five draft choices on the front seven. Additionally, nose tackle Jason Ferguson, cornerbacks Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry, plus safety Izell Reese were signed to fill other defensive holes. Dallas also acquired Drew Bledsoe, a Parcells' favorite, former Packer Mario Rivera, and former Bear Anthony Thomas. Dallas selected outside linebacker/pass rusher Demarcus Ware with their first pick in the first round. The jack-rabbit- quick edge player reminds Parcells of a young Lawrence Taylor. Ware hustles all over the field and disrupts play from the backside. He has natural pass rush tools and plays with good knee bend. With their second pick in the first round, the Cowboys could have gone in a couple of directions, but with Marcus Spears still on the board they drafted him to add more overall size to their defense and as a versatile lineman who can play inside or outside. Spears has quick feet and hands. He lacks the upfield edge burst, but can penetrate and control rush lanes. He can anchor the line on plays at him and has good lateral quickness. Kevin Burnett was a good value in the second round and brings another explosive pass rusher on board. Burnett will be hard to keep off the field with his range, lateral quickness, and speed to cover sideline-to-sideline. He has good agility in traffic and takes good pursuit angles plus he is an every-down player with his coverage skills. Marion Barber will battle to try to get into a three-back rotation with Julius Jones and Anthony Thomas. Barber is a zone stretch runner with a burst to turn the corner. He runs with good body lean and is always moving forward. He may contribute as a returner on special teams and a third down back in pass situations because of his good hands. Chris Canty is another defensive end candidate after coming off a broken leg that kept him out most of the 2004 season and an off-field eye injury prior to the draft. He needs to get stronger in his upper and lower body. He was active and productive in a 3-4 'scheme at Virginia. Justin Beriault fills a need as a run-stuffing safety and a special teams performer. He is a physical downhill safety who is a dependable tackler, Rob Petitti is a wide-bodied tackle that projects inside to guard because he plays better against power players than a two-move speed edge rusher. He flashes an explosive punch and plays with good intensity. Petitti does not excel in anyone area, but is a solid - overall lineman. Jay Ratliff has the ability at defensive end to work his way into the front rotation. GRADE: EXCELLENT. It is hard to beat the Cowboys' first day selections in quality and filling major needs. Ware, Spears, and Burrett should bring an immediate impact to a moribund defense. Barber is a backup running back with tools. Canty will contribute after his leg heals. Beriault, Petitti, and Ratliff all have the ability to make contributions. FREE AGENCY: Bill Parcells was very aggressive in the veteran market as he looks to rebuild a defense that was ravaged by injuries and subpar performances last season. Former Jet Jason Ferguson will make a tremendous difference against the run as he works over the nose. The secondary received a big boost with former Browns' cornerback Anthony Henry coming aboard. Henry is a playmaker who will significantly upgrade their personnel behind Terrence Newman. Former Texan Aaron Glenn is a very nice addition who should bolster the Cowboys' nickel defense and provide a strong veteran presence in the secondary. A lot of the Cowboys success will be determined by how their offensive additions perform, particularly with Drew Bledsoe arriving following a rough tenure in Buffalo. Bledsoe is at the tail of his career, but Parcells will work to protect him and work towards his strengths. Former Packer guard Marco Rivera is a major stabilizer along the offensive line with his tenacity and leadership, but has a lot of physical red flags as he ages. Anthony Thomas should be a solid backup with his strength between the tackles after being discarded in Chicago.

When he died in 2004, the Chavez family and his good friend Dr. Dale Shimasaki wanted to find a way to memorialize the dedication that Bill Chavez, a former UCSC Foundation Trustee, embodied.
"It didn't take long for us to choose UC Santa Cruz as the place we wished to honor Bill. He was quite proud of his affiliation with the campus," Olivia Chavez said. "We wanted to create a legacy for helping the next generation of young leaders fighting for education, especially in the poorest communities."
For that reason, Shimasaki and the Chavez family established the William Alfred Chavez Student Award. The award is granted to academically outstanding students from the San Joaquin Valley who show commitment to increasing the understanding or improving the welfare of Chicanos and Latinos in the United States. It provides financial support to students who have been accepted to internships at the University of California Center in Sacramento or the University of California Center in Washington, DC.
Though Chavez studied politics at UC Santa Cruz, eligible students include any with strong extracurricular experience and academic achievement in the fields of Latin American and Latino studies, community studies, and other social sciences, as well as politics.
"Bill felt strongly about involving everyone in the political process, especially for those who never had access to it before. He was particularly proud of his background, his culture, and his heritage and sought to encourage his community to participate actively in the political process," Shimasaki said.
Legacy of Involvement
In 1976, Bill Chavez had only just graduated from UCSC's Merrill College when he started his political career as an Assembly Fellow in the California State Legislature. He was passionate about education and supporting the inclusion of Latino and Chicano leaders in the political process. For many years, he worked for politicians and political interest groups, supporting positive education legislation as well as Latino and Chicano issues.
Chavez served as chief of staff for Sen. Richard Polanco, D-Los Angeles, as well as the director of the Senate Democratic Caucus. Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, D-Los Angeles, said that Chavez "left his imprint on a lot of important legislation."
With Dr. Shimasaki, Chavez later founded Strategic Education Services, a prominent Sacramento-based lobbying firm. "Bill was an inspiration to all he came into contact with. He cared deeply for those who were needy and less fortunate than he," Shimasaki said.
From 1998 to 2002, Chavez served as a trustee for the UCSC Foundation. His goal: to help UCSC develop enrollment capacity to accommodate the next generation of students.
"Bill knew that young people are the future of our society. They can offer so much with their energy, intelligence, and innocence to the political process," Shimasaki said. They "are a vibrant resource to revitalize the political process and to overcome the cynicism that often infects our institutions of governance."
"I'd like to think that the person who receives this award shares some of his values," Olivia Chavez said.

Berkshire United Rugby Football Club Falls in FinalsSANDWICH, Mass. — Berkshire United RFC's men's club finished second in the New England Rugby Football Union Division 4 tournament for the second year in a row on Saturday at Camp Good News in Sandwich.
Berkshire defeated Boston Ironsides, 39-0, in the first round and defeated Bennington Battle RFC, 29-7, in the semifinals before falling 28-3 to Boston Maccabi in the championship game. Maccabi, with the championship, is promoted to Division 3 for next season.
Berkshire led Ironsides 27-0 at the half. Quintin Sumpter and Ken Card finished the match with two tries each, with Steve Fleischmann and Jon LaCasse also earning tries. David Colli had a try and two conversions.
Berkshire lost its season opener at Bennington in September, but avenged the loss with its semifinal win. Matt Guilfoy and Andrew Lawrence had two tries each, with Lawrence's tries coming in the first half. Card earned his third try of the tournament in the game, while Colli kicked two successful conversions.
Colli's penalty kick was Berkshire's only score in the championship loss. Berkshire also fell in last year's championship match, to Old Gold 'B.'
Berkshire finishes the fall season 6-3.

ANN's history dates to 1954, when founder Richard Liebeskind opened the first Ann Taylor store featuring the "Ann Taylor," a best-selling dress design his father gifted him for good luck. Browse our timeline for more amazing facts!
Our first Ann Taylor store opens in New Haven, Connecticut, on August 30, 1954. From the start, we wanted to do more than just dress the American woman. We sought to understand and cater to her lifestyle.
On trend, but never trendy, we kept pace with the evolving silhouette – from the polished "Jackie Kennedy" look of the early '60's to our own interpretation of "mod and modish" by decade's end.
As women made advances both socially and professionally, we responded with versatile, work-wearable pieces perfect for her emerging, career woman status.
We quickly became a national presence, growing from 47 stores in 1983 to 120 by the end of the decade. Power suits and shoulder pads defined '80's "corporate" chic.
We went public in 1991 (NYSE: ANN) and in 1998, opened our first 18 LOFT stores. Always in step with our Client, we catered to her more relaxed look – and outlook – winning thousands of new fans.
2000's – today
In our 50th anniversary decade, we celebrated the opening of our Times Square Corporate Office, as well as the launch of our Outlet and Factory stores, and our E-Commerce websites. In 2012, we premiered on the international stage, opening our first Ann Taylor and LOFT stores in Canada.
