Your abdominal muscles are very important. They are essential to the smooth and healthy movement of your body and limbs. The abdominals are often called the core muscles. The reason they are called core muscles is because they are located at the core or centre of the body. It is from the core that all body movement originates.
Your abdominals are a network of muscles that stretch along the area of the stomach and back. In a way they act like a support band or girdle that supports and holds everything in place. They also play a crucial role in supporting the spinals column which is crucial to the movement of our body and limbs. Strong abdominals ensure you move smoothly without strain or limitations. They also help you to maintain a good posture. This is especially important as the modern lifestyle involves a lot of sitting at desks working on computers. Sitting for long periods without any stretching can encourage a poor posture. This is commonly seen with people who have a rounded shoulders and a curved back. This situation can reduce the mobility of the body and put strain on the spines vertebrae. In the long term this can lead to back pain and other spinal problems.
It is important that you look after your body taking the time to strengthen your abdominals. Even if you do regular exercise you should also give your abs a good workout on a regular basis as they will protect the body from strain caused by physical exertion. There are a number of traditional floor exercises that you can use that will help you make your abs stronger. Two of the most popular types are the scissor crunch and the sit-up. It is important that you do these correctly as you could strain your neck and back muscles.
Many people who are out of condition can find these floor exercises very difficult to do. This is because their weak abdominal muscles do not have the strength to support their neck and back properly when doing the exercise. A safer option for someone starting out is to use an ab machine like the Ab Chair. As its title states you sit in this specially designed chair and perform scissor style crunch exercises. Attached to the footrest are resistance bands that create tension as you move. This tension works on toning and strengthening your abs and obliques. The key benefit for someone who is unfit and out of condition is the chair supports the back and neck muscles which enables you to exercise without the strain.

Smoochy Holiday
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Maybe you've seen this adorable video already from the creative women at Small Fry, but if not I present it to you today. It includes my Anson doing some special robot moves and a kiss at the camera that melts my mother's heart. Also, he divulges where we spend our super hot date nights. Dot dot dot . . .
In full disclosure I bribed him with the idea of buying a Megazord if he would cooperate. I was ashamed at the parenting in that transaction, but listen, as it turned out that Megazord has been the best toy we've ever purchased. Hours and days of imaginative fun. And it's never out of reach.
Have a lovey, lovey day!

(USA TODAY) -- It has been too long since we have had a fun Tim Tebow trial balloon to talk about. And voila...
NFL: Around the League tweeted on Sunday, "From @MikeSilver: Rams have discussed signing Tim Tebow. Post to come."
Silver, an NFL Media columnist, in return clarified, "I believe it's unlikely they'll actually sign him."
There are two pieces to this: (1) That the team has even discussed it, and (2) that it is "unlikely."
The Rams' season is spiraling out of contention, if not control.Starting QB Sam Bradford was knocked out of today's loss to Carolinawith a knee injury. Back-up Kellen Clemens is hardly the answer (notthat Bradford was).
On top of that, the defense was leaky - they gave up more than 10yards per pass to Cam Newton (although they contained the Panthers'oustanding rushing game) - and the Rams were frustrated into a ton ofpenalties.
With the loss, the Rams dipped to 3-4, a distant third in the brutalNFC West. The Wild Card spot they were supposed to contend for will berough sledding - they sit behind a slew of teams.
Tim Tebow certainly wouldn't be their worst option, and - if nothingelse - it makes an otherwise mediocre season instantly must-see. (Hint:They might also want to try to get the ball in Tavon Austin's handsmore, too.)
The one silver lining to their season - that 2014 first-round draftpick they got from the Redskins for the RG3 pick - also took a hit, whenWashington picked up a win over Chicago, rather than continuing toflail.
The Rams need some hope. They might need a QB. They areunsuccessfully treading water at a point in the season where you'reeither showing improvement or making plans for 2014.
What better moment for Tebow Time?
Now, the gulf between a team thinking about Tebow and actuallysigning him - that's the "unlikely" part that Silver talks about - is asbig as it gets right now in the NFL. But the difference between theRams' pre-season aspirations and their iffy reality today isn't farbehind. The injury uncertainty around Sam Bradford only compounds theirproblems.
It might be a non-story, but it is Tim Tebow - expect it to eclipse every NFL headline except Manning's return to Indianapolis.
UPDATE: Sports Illustrated's Peter King tweeted: "StL1: Sounds like the Rams, if injury toBradford is as bad as feared, will have a QB-workout day Monday,w/roundup of the usual suspects," followed by, "StL2: You know: Leinart, Thigpen, Skelton--those types. Maybe, as @mikesilver said, Tebow. Not Vince Young. Not a a Jeff Fisher-match."

Why do we have adversity?
As part of Heavenly Father's plan, we must experience adversity during mortality. In some cases, adversity comes as the result of our own poor choices or the choices of others. Other trials are simply a natural part of our mortal experience. Though they are difficult, our challenges can help us grow spiritually and become more like Jesus Christ.
Prepare yourself spiritually
As you prepare, prayerfully study these scriptures and resources, as well as others that have helped you learn about adversity.
1 Samuel 1; 1 Kings 17; Ruth 1; Esther 4; 1 Nephi 5:1–9 (Examples of women in the scriptures who faced adversity)
2 Nephi 2:11 (Adversity is part of Heavenly Father's plan for us)
Mosiah 23:21 (God gives us adversity to test our faith)
Ether 12:27 (God gives us weakness so we will be humble)
D&C 58:3–4 (After adversity comes the blessing)
D&C 121:7–8 (If we endure adversity well, God will exalt us)
D&C 122:4–9 (Adversity gives us experience and is for our good)
Thomas S. Monson, "I Will Not Fail Thee, nor Forsake Thee," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2013, 85–87
Henry B. Eyring, "Mountains to Climb," Ensign or Liahona, May 2012, 23–26
Neil L. Andersen, "Spiritual Whirlwinds," Ensign or Liahona, May 2014, 18–21
Linda S. Reeves, "Claim the Blessings of Your Covenants," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2013, 118–20
"Adversity," True to the Faith (2004), 8–11
Videos: "God Will Lift Us Up," "The Priesthood Can Strengthen Our Families in Trials," "Rebuilding Lives"
Share experiences
At the beginning of each class, invite the young women to share, teach, and testify about the experiences they have had applying what they learned in the previous week's lesson. This will encourage personal conversion and help the young women see the relevance of the gospel in their daily lives.
Introduce the doctrine
Choose from these ideas or think of your own to introduce this week's lesson:
- As a class, review Elder Neil L. Andersen's description of a tree growing in a windy environment (in his talk "Spiritual Whirlwinds"). What does this analogy teach the young women about adversity? Invite them to search the talk, looking for counsel that they feel will help them withstand spiritual whirlwinds.
- Share with the young women Sister Linda S. Reeves's story about the Provo Tabernacle (in her talk "Claim the Blessings of Your Covenants"). What do the young women learn about adversity from this story?
Learn together
Each of the activities below will help the young women learn about the purposes of adversity. Following the inspiration of the Spirit, select one or more that will work best for your class:
- Read together some scriptures in which the Savior experienced adversity (such as Matthew 4:1–11; 26:38–39; Luke 23:33–34). What can the young women learn about adversity from the Savior's life? How did He face His trials? Invite each young woman to write down a trial that she or a loved one is facing. Encourage the young women to ponder what they can learn from the Savior's example that could help with this trial.
- Invite the young women to think of examples of women in the scriptures who faced adversity (see the examples suggested in this outline). Ask them to read about these women in the scriptures and summarize the story for the rest of the class. What do they learn about adversity from these stories that can help them overcome their own trials?
- Invite the young women to read about President Henry B. Eyring's experience building foundations for houses (as told in his talk "Mountains to Climb"). What do they learn from President Eyring about preparing spiritually to face adversity? What are the young women doing now to prepare for adversity they might face in their future?
- Divide the class into two groups. Invite one group to look for examples in the Book of Mormon of individuals or groups who faced difficult challenges (see, for example, Mosiah 24:8–17; 3 Nephi 1:4–21; Moroni 1). Invite the other group to look through the hymnbook to find a hymn that helps them during their trials. Ask the groups to share what they learn that could help them overcome adversity.
- Draw a line down the middle of the board, and write "Why do we have adversity?" at the top of one column and "How can we face the challenges in our lives?" at the top of the other. Divide President Thomas S. Monson's talk "I Will Not Fail Thee, nor Forsake Thee" into sections, and give each young woman a section to read. Ask the young women to look for answers to these questions and to write their answers on the board in the appropriate column. What insights do the young women gain from President Monson's talk?
- Show one of the videos suggested in this outline. Invite the young women to ponder the question "Why do we have adversity?" as they watch. What do they learn from the video that helps them know what to do when adversity comes?
Ask the young women to share what they learned today. Do they understand why we have adversity? What feelings or impressions do they have? Do they have any additional questions? Would it be helpful to spend more time on this doctrine?
Live what we are learning
Invite the young women to consider how they will live what they have learned today. For example, they could:
- Find a way to comfort a loved one who is facing a trial by sharing what they learned about adversity.
- Talk to their families about family members who have overcome adversity.

Inside Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig's Whirlwind Road to Marriage
It took just six months for Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz to go from newly dating to newlywed husband and wife -- but how?
PHOTOS: Over-the-top celebrity weddings
After all, the actors were first seen laughing and holding hands over the Christmas holiday -- just one month after Weisz, 41, split with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, her fiance since 2005.
The couple, who were staying in the English countryside, rented a $1,500/week cottage featuring a cinema, sauna, gym and roof terrace. "They picked up groceries at a little corner shop, probably to take home and cook or prepare for their roast," a local told Us Weekly at the time. "They walked through the street like a married couple who had been together for ages -- very much in love, very cozy and cute."
PHOTOS: Stars' gorgeous celeb wedding photos
Weisz and Craig, who first worked together on the set of Dream House in February 2010, took their romance public when they hit up NYC hotspot The Box on Valentine's Day 2011. Sipping champagne, the hot new couple were "making out and dancing all night," a witness told Us. "They were adorable."
PHOTOS: Couples who found love on set
Four months later, Weisz's rep confirmed to Us that she and Craig, 43, tied the knot in upstate New York. According to The Daily Mail, just four people attended the intimate ceremony: Henry, Weisz' 5-year-old son with Aronofsky; Craig's 18-year-old daughter, Ella (from his previous marriage to Fiona Loudon); and two friends of the couple who acted as witnesses.

Abstract. We present a multi-purpose genetic algorithm, designed and implemented with GPGPU / CUDA parallel computing technology. The model was derived from a multi-core CPU serial implementation, named GAME, already scientifically successfully tested and validated on astrophysical massive data classification problems, through a web application resource (DAMEWARE), specialized in data mining based on Machine Learning paradigms. Since genetic algorithms are inherently parallel, the GPGPU computing paradigm has provided an exploit of the internal training features of the model, permitting a strong optimization in terms of processing performances and scalability. Keywords: genetic algorithms, GPU programming, data mining
Computing has started to change how science is done, enabling new scientific advances through enabling new kinds of experiments. They are also generating new kinds of data of increasingly exponential complexity and volume. Achieving the goal of being able to use, exploit and share most effectively these data is a huge challenge. The harder problem for the future is heterogeneity, of platforms, data and applications, rather than simply the scale of the deployed resources. Current platforms require the scientists to overcome computing barriers between them and the data [1]. The present paper concerns the design and development of a...

At Dragon's Head Cider, we believe in producing high quality hard ciders with a traditional approach, which means you will never find us using apple juice concentrate or adding artificial flavors to our ciders. We keep it simple. Press high quality apples and pears, ferment the juice, put it in a bottle.
Dragon's Head Farm is home to over 2,000 cider fruit trees, as well as our production facility. We believe one of the keys to creating great cider is to have control over the entire process. For this reason we do the pressing, fermentation, blending and bottling all right here on the farm.
Named for the dragon who guards the apples of immortality in the Garden of Hesperides, Dragon's Head Cider was founded in 2010 on Vashon Island, Washington.

The new series consists of two products, the VX 450W and the VX550W, both of which meet the Energy Star 2007 Standard. Their design differs from that of the enthusiast-oriented HX series in that they only have one +12V rail rather than three. Corsair claims their VX units operate with 80% or higher rated efficiency, active power factor correction, and features a temperature-controlled double ball-bearing 120mm fan which delivers "whisper quiet operation."
"Corsair has engineered a power supply that appeals to both the enthusiast as well as the cost conscious system builder," said Jack Peterson, vice president of marketing at corsair. "We leveraged everything we learned from our award-winning HX Series of modular power supplies to build the most reliable, Eco-friendly value priced PSU in the market."
The VX450 carries a suggested price tag of $85.99, while the VX550 version will cost you $99.99. Both models are available now from the usual retailers and are covered by a five-year limited warranty.

Clinical Significance
Evaluate nutritional status, the liver; diagnose nephrotic syndromes, malabsorption, neoplasia including myeloma, macroglobulinemia of Waldenstrom; needed for serum protein electrophoresis.
Plasma proteins are synthesized predominantly in the liver, plasma cells, lymph nodes, the spleen and in bone marrow. In the course of disease the total protein concentration and also the percentage represented by individual fractions can significantly deviate from normal values.Hypoproteinemia can be caused by diseases and disorders such as loss of blood, sprue, nephrotic syndrome, severe burns, salt retention syndrome and Kwashiorkor (acute protein deficiency).Hyperproteinemia can be observed in cases of severe dehydration and illnesses such as multiple myelomea. Changes in the relative percentage of plasma proteins can be due to a change in the percentage of one plasma protein fraction. Often in such cases the amount of total protein does not change. The A/G-ratio is commonly used as an index of the distribution of albumin and globulin fractions. Marked changes in this ratio can be observed in cirrhosis of the liver, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, acute hepatitis, lupus erythematosus as well as in certain acute and chronic inflammations. Total protein measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases involving the liver, kidney, or bone marrow, as well as other metabolic or nutritional disorders.

By order of Acting Associate Administrator of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 35 F.R. 19249, Dec. 19, 1970, Coast and Geodetic Survey redesignated National Ocean Survey. See notes set out under section 311 of Title 15, Commerce and Trade.

"It's a pretty good program"
Version: WindowsXTV aka XTV 1
I like how it is organized. Very easy to understand. There are 93 channels like it says..
But the only thing is there aren't really any major popular channels, like CNN, ABC, NBC, Sci-Fi, etc. A lot of local news channels from other parts of the U.S. But other than that I think it is a very good program! I would recommend it.
"Nice clean and easy to use"
Version: WindowsXTV aka XTV 1
Lots of channels that I find useful and entertaining. Also, being able to launch the video in media player so I am not limited to using only their application is great. Not to mention the 3 channels. Very nice work on this.
Would be nice if there were a guide. You have to have broadband.

text: Mobile Home Kitchen Update Before and After Home Makeovers, Mobile Home Remodeling Ideas The kitchen is often called the heart of a home. With as much time as we spend in the rooms we should have the space looking exactly how we want it. I wanted mine to have a more modern feel. How hard is it, though, to turn a 1978 mobile home kitchen into a stylish, more modern room? Not that hard at all! A little paint and a few things from the home improvement store is all you need. As you might know, we live in a 1978 Homette single wide mobile home. This is what it looked like the day we bought it: This is what I had to work with! I saw the potential – I just didn't have the money needed to reach its full potential so I did the next best thing – an affordable mobile home kitchen makeover! We were still saving up for the new flooring, ceilings and windows but I did have enough for some paint and brushes and even a couple of low-cost extra's that would update the space. This single wide itself is only about 12 feet wide, the kitchen and dining area is about 14 and a half feet long. The pantry/closet combo on the right side takes up approximately 16 sq. ft. and the counters are very wide at around 2 ft so it's a roomy space to be in a 696 square foot home. What to Buy The cabinets are, of course, the cheap particleboard with a very thin paper veneer printed with an image of real wood. I bought Kilz Primer and the premium Valspar paint at Lowe's, along with premium brushes and rollers. Painting kitchens and bathrooms is not the time to go cheap! Good brushes reduces the lines and helps give a smoother and more even coverage. What to Do Sand The project began by sanding the loose and damaged paper off the corners and edges. This was a little tricky because if I completely removed the paper, I would be left with a very rough surface that would soak up the paint and I would need to spend more money to cover the cabinets with osb or something similar. I needed as much paper as possible left on the face of the cabinets to act as a shield for the paint against the dry, brittle, and very thirsty particle board. A fine grade sand paper worked great to even out and clean up everything, and still keep the veneer. Clean Once I sanded everything down to get the loose paper off and smooth the particle board edges, I cleaned it all using warm water and industrial cleaner that we had found at Big Lots. I wiped everything down 2 times and let it dry over night. Sand again! Once the cabinets and frame dried overnight, they were ready to be sanded again! Nothing much, just some touch-ups. I found a little courage and figured out that the grittier sandpaper worked fine on the edges of the doors, where the particleboard looked like the Appalachian Mountains, instead of a smooth table top. Clean It, Again! Once the sanding was finished and I was happy with the edges – I cleaned it all again. Uck! I let it dry overnight again, too. Prime It All Using Kilz, I laid down the first coat of primer. It was a very thin, very light coat. I sanded again and painted again.The cabinets look great with my appliances, as the white gives a very clean look all around. Appliance repair parts will be really easy to find, without mismatching from the cabinets. I also painted the pantry door and the little wall that stands where the cabinets end with blackboard paint. The area of wall around the windows were painted with green apple. I think thinner coats and more of them is the way to go when painting. (I am not a professional, I've just painted several times in my life.) The next step in the update was adding some shelving. I bought pre-made shelves that were very long in order to span the 2 windows over the sink. Then I added paper shades and then added all my pretties. I like it and I have less than a $125.00 in it. It's not meant to be permanent. It just needs to do till it gets gutted completely. Thank you for reading Mobile and Manufactured Home Living!

NEWPORT–Out of all of the fall sports team at North Country, last year's field hockey team had the most impressive finish, making it all of the way to the semi-finals in the Division III play-offs.
The experience and wisdom gained during that run is what head coach Chantelle Bouchard is hoping motivates and drives her team in 2013.
"I think (last year) really opened their eyes, as they were good enough to make it as far as they wanted to," said Bouchard. "They had never gone that far, which I think kind of held them back, but now they know they can achieve this."

Berkeley, CA VS Grand Forks, ND
Berkeley is, by far, the best place that I've ever lived. It's this incredible fluxing nexus of youth, culture, and art, somehow lodged in a small city. I'm from Belmont, a sleepy little burg about 40 miles south of here. It's nice digs for the elderly and young couples eager to start families, but it's not quite idyllic for a college age guy looking for high adventure. Accordingly, when college acceptance letters came in, my brother (oddly also named Eric, henceforth referred to as Eriq) and I were both quite excited as we'd both been accepted to our schools of choice; UND with it's unmatched aeronautics department for Eriq, and UCB with its unmatched reputation for progressiveness and liberal forethought for me.
We've both spent considerable time exploring our new surroundings and I figure it's about time to explore one of the burning questions that keeps me up late at night; if the UCB and UND (along with their surrounding areas) were to morph into giant fighting robots/monsters (with the associated laser eye beams/kung-fu grip action) who would win? Prepare yourselves my intrepid readers, as we explore the good, the bad and the ugly in this epic grudge-match. (Yeah…uhhh... big school rivalry here, sure!) Two giant-school-robot-monsters will enter the thunder-dome but only one will survive. While I will seek to keep all bias out of the proceedings, readers with sensitivities to lopsided ass-whoopings may wish to leave this weblog and never return!

Jackson, MS -- The Jackson Public Schools' Board of Trustees in Mississippi did not offer a superintendent contract to finalist Dr. Dennis Carpenter, deputy superintendent for Operations at the Newton County School System.
The Mississippi school board voted Tuesday after meeting in executive session, approving fellow finalist, Cedrick Gray, superintendent of schools for Fayette County, Tenn., according to Peggy Hampton, director of Media Relations at JPS.
Some board members had visited Newton County on Monday, after previously visiting the hometown of Gray.
Hampton said Tuesday that the board members offered no explanation about the decision. She did say that two of the seven board members, Dr. Otha Burton and Tim Collins, voted against the selection.
The two finalists were chosen from a pool of 71 applicants using a national search firm, Ray and Associates. Earlier this month, the two finalists visited Jackson to meet with the board and community members.
NCSS Superintendent Gary Mathews had recommended Carpenter for the position.
When contacted by the Citizen about the decision, Carpenter responded that he had no comment.
JPS has 30,000 students, compared to about 19,000 in NCSS. It's made up of eight high schools, 12 middle schools, 39 elementary schools and two special schools.
Carpenter was hired as associate superintendent for Human Resources at NCSS in February 2008 after working as assistant superintendent for Support Services for Appling County Schools and a fourth-grade teacher, assistant principal and principal before that. He was named deputy superintendent for Operations in July 2009, when Deborah Robertson retired as associate superintendent of business and administration; he oversees the directors of Operational Services, Human Resources and Support Services, as well as the business manager, maintenance coordinator and School Nutrition Program coordinator.
In July 2011, Carpenter also was not chosen for the superintendent position at Peach County Schools, where he was one of three finalists.

"Carpenter was hired as associate superintendent for Human Resources at NCSS in February 2008."
Laquanda Brown was hired in July 2009.
They were married last year.
(All facts, so you can't sue me for that).
I'd sure like to know when they met.
Frustrated 3 years, 5 months ago
If he is trying so hard to get a position with another system...why not let him go so he cant dedicate all his timeat finding another job? Seems like handling problems with NCSS is getting in his way.
ShannonBlack 3 years, 5 months ago
We have been told that they met in Bibb county before they came here
Calisweetheart 3 years, 5 months ago
He promoted himself when Robertson left but his buddy in districts 2 and 4 could not follow the same precdent with Mrs. Fuhrey. Sounds like an agenda. We need new blood in 2 and 4.
amp72 3 years, 5 months ago
I think people need to be aware of who they are buddies with. This whole mess could potentially take down a lot of people. I have also heard these two knew each other in Bibb County. I smell a rat and hopefully the newspaper is doing its due dilligence to get to the bottom of this. Good people are getting hurt!

App Giveaway: 100 copies of TaskMasterHD 287
If there's one thing we seem to have plenty of on webOS, it's task apps. Partly that's arisen from the complete lack of a Tasks app built-in to webOS 3.0 on the TouchPad, but it's also partly from the fact that we all have different ways of managing our tasks, and if a developer's into that (seems a lot of them are), why not make an app that works the way they do? So here's another option for your task management: TaskMasterHD by Rahisi. Based around the Get Things Done concept, TaskMasterHD allows for near complete list customizations, with categorization, task status, due dates and reminders, owners, costs, theming, and even built-in print support. Sound like your cup of tea? Good, because we've got 100 copies to give away!
Contest: We have 100 copies of TaskMasterHD to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends next Sunday at midnight US Eastern Time, after which time we will select 100 random entrants to win. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries won't count. Promo codes are only valid in countries serviced by the App Catalog, and users must be running webOS 3.0.0 or higher with the latest version of the App Catalog.

I understand McNamara was the originator of the "body count" that deluded people into believing that the war was being won. I have seen a case cited in a well researched (about 10 years) book that recorded 111 deaths when in fact an old man passing by on his bike panicked and feel off, hitting his head on a rock and dying, was the only death.
A "secret" document produced by an officer in the World Bank about the end of the 1980's described activities of the World Bank as assisting corporations of the "donor countries" and the corrupt officials and companies of the recipient countries, but actually depriving the poor of the recipient countries. I have worked for the World Bank, Asian Development Bank plus several agencies of the UN, and found it easy to understand the prime function of the World Bank, regardless of its stated purpose.
I'm afraid my only respect for McNamara is they he finally recognized that he was not really effective in achieving his stated objectives.

As expected, the "big announcement" slated for this afternoon is regarding the return of beloved Grizzlies' sharpshooter Mike Miller. According to Matt Moore of CBS Sports, the Grizzlies will only have to pay Miller in the ballpark of $884,000 for the season, thanks to the fact that Miami, who used their amnesty provision on Miller, will pick up most of the tab.
From the Grizzlies' official Twitter account:
It's official! Join us @FedExForum at 11:30am and welcome @m33m back to Memphis during his press conference! http://t.co/sGnOBPLZXe
— Memphis Grizzlies (@memgrizz) July 30, 2013
From the team's press release:
"We are extraordinarily pleased to welcome Mike Miller back to Memphis," Grizzlies Chief Executive Officer Jason Levien said. "Mike is a special figure in our community due to his contributions both on and off the court. Mike is an elite three-point shooter, as Grizzlies fans know first-hand, and we expect his shooting, play-making, hustle and leadership to be a key component in our team competing with the best in the NBA next season." Miller (6-8, 218) has spent the last three seasons with the Miami Heat, where he helped the club to three consecutive NBA Finals and win back-to-back NBA championships in 2012 and 2013. Miller scored 23 points and went 7-of-8 from three-point range against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the championship-clinching Game 5 of the 2012 NBA Finals. He made 9-of-10 from beyond the arc in the first three games against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals, which Miami won in seven games. In 25 career NBA Finals games, Miller has shot 25-of-47 from long range (.532)."
The conference is open to the public and will be streamed live at 11:30 AM CST.
Stay tuned to 3SOB for details! Let it fly!

I've seen some backpack chargers on the market. What do you think of them? I'm new to solar energy. What's the best place to go to learn more about solar energy and how it works with small electronic devices?

I've seen some backpack chargers on the market. What do you think of them? I'm new to solar energy. What's the best place to go to learn more about solar energy and how it works with small electronic devices?
Mark S.
The biggest issues with powering laptops from solar are:
1. adequate solar power production to support reasonable laptop run times
2. sufficient power storage to support reasonable laptop daily run times
3. voltage support for the specific laptop you are using
4. connectors... you ultimately need to connect your laptop to the system!
One other sidebar note: DO NOT use an AC inverter if you can avoid it. An AC inverter (the box that creates a household AC plug from a 12V battery or your car) will waste anywhere from 15-30% of your battery power in the process of creating AC power which your laptop will ultimately convert back to DC for its own use anyway. When you are in the power desert, you don't go wasting/spilling electrons!
Plus, most people nowadays want to use a lithium battery pack with their solar equipment in order to minimize weight, and aside from the Goal Zero Sherpa models, lithium battery packs WILL NOT support AC inverters.
So, back to the task at hand...
1. Figure out how many hours a day you want to run your laptop when you are without power
for example, I find most people want about an hour each day. As the previous person noted, normal solar maps do not account for the variation in daylight exposure that backpacks see. So, allowing for that, and knowing what most laptops in power safe mode consume, you would need at least a 10W panel to offset an hour of laptop use during summer months (in North America).
2. Store the power in a battery pack that offers multiple voltage settings, and multiple connector options to support laptops. I recommend looking at the Brunton models (Sustain, Impel), and the Tekkeon MyPower All 3450 models.
Both of these battery systems can support a magsafe connector option for MacBooks (use the Apple airline adaptor with the Bruntons, and a MagSafe connector is available for the Tekkeon batteries).
The battery pack should be at least 50 Watt-Hours in capacity to properly support the 1-hour run time, and serve a long life.
Now, that being said, Voltaic Systems just released two backpack products that have everything integrated already...
Voltaic Fuse 10
Voltaic Array backpack
Both of these offer a decent amount of solar power, plus a built-in multi-voltage battery pack that supports laptops & other devices. Voltaic does really good work, and their products are exceptionally well built. www.voltaicsystems.com
I would provide a direct link to my site, but I will respect the spam rules!
Lastly, and this might seem strange after writing all this, but I would urge you to consider leaving the laptop at home, and either take a smart phone along instead, or at the most one of the new tablet computers like the iPad. These options use far less power, do as much as most people need, and a power system to support USB and even the 2.1A USB are less expensive and more portable than the full-power laptop-supporting systems that I described above. Only take a laptop if you have specific data-crunching needs that only a laptop can provide.
I hope all this helps. Please feel free to write, comment, and ask more questions. If you want feedback on any particular product you are considering, let me know.

Here's the scoop for small electronics...
iPods, PDA's, and smart phones have on-board batteries of approx 3-8 Watt-Hours, so a solar charger must have at least 3 watts of solar panel power to properly keep up with a daily battery drain on these devices. I am allowing for mobile variation in solar exposure, and for summer months in North America & Europe only (May-Aug).
I see a lot solar gadgets providing 0.3 or 0.4W panels, and these really are frustrating, and not much more than gimmicks. They will offset only about 15-20% of an iPhone battery for example, and that is even when exposed to the sun religiously all day.
I would suggest only considering solar charger products that offer at least 1 Watt of solar panel power to avoid disappointment/frustration
Here are a few examples of good quality, and good power...
Brunton Restore
Powerfilm USB+AA charger
Voltaic Amp
Voltaic Fuse
Voltaic solar backpacks
Most small devices can be connected using USB ports, and most small solar chargers will provide these. Use your device's USB connector cable.
Apple products, and some others like Blackberries, can be fussy about the USB ports they accept. I try to highlight which ports are 'universal' on my site, but as a rule, if it doesn't specifically state: 'Apple Compatible', it aint. Even if they say 'power your iPod', they may mean mp3 players in general, and this is misleading.
Cameras are tricky. Small 'point & shoot' cameras can have their batteries charged via small universal USB chargers like this one...
dSLR cameras are usually 7.4V battery packs, and so require a battery system that provides at least 8.4V, so this means going with a full-size power system like I outlined in my last post.
Hope that this post is more helpful than my last one!

Outstanding information!!. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to? Are you a solar engineer by trade? Truly, outstanding information.
So in your opinion, is current research working to improve the solar panel efficiency? Is the focus more on battery improvements? Probably both. Do you see any breakthrough coming on the horizon? Are there better materials coming out? I'm fascinated by solar power. I'm most interested in the portable solar, but the whole industry is interesting.
I also wondered how big a solar panel do I need to charge an iphone or other smart phone. Really, how small could it be? Are there brands that are more efficient per square in or cm? How small can the battery pack be?
Thanks for your help,
Mark Schuler
I built a solar charger for my sony PDA and Cell phone back in the day using scrap solar cells. It worked fine for small devices. I would imagine the commercially available products would be more than adequate for charging small electronic devices since the efficiencies have gone up.

C&G foldable mono panel 42watts 12"x10"x2" folded plugs directly into energizer P18000 power pack:18Ah@5v lithium weights 5.6oz.
Energizer has three outputs: USB, 105V and 19V. includes a ton of adapters for various devices. works with all of my families devices: cell phone, ipad2 and new iPad, nintendo ds, etc. Energizer has built in charge controller and charging indicator so many different solar panels can plug directly into it. Input voltage is 19V but it does well with my solar panel that typically varies from 14+ to 17+ volts.
I am not connected with any company or product: retired.

Okay ive noticed my truck hissing when i let it warm up and its annoying i know thats the exhaust back pressure valve but i was driving around just cruising and i noticed it was hissing when i got on it it quit and when i let off it would quit so i figured out it was the EBPV as well. Well ive also been having some other prolbems when im under heavy acceleration i can go 1st-4th gear just find and when i hit 5th i rhomp down its like its under a load and dosent have enough power and around 15-22 pounds of boost it surges (which i thought was a compressor surge). And When i get about 60 i can rhomp on it and it will boost up to 30 just fine with no surge. Plus here lately ive been noticing i have had higher egts like its a struggle to keep the egts under 600 running 55 (and the probe is tapped after the turbo) but on other times it i can run 55-70 and it stays right at 400 degrees. plus i have a smoke box for my stacks could my smoke box be causing too much back pressure causing higher egts and the surge or could it be the EBPV sticking and causing it or a combo of both? or something else any help would be greatly appreciated THANK YOU!!
Try letting it warm up before romping. The ebpv is there for a reason. And if it is a five speed, fifth gear isn't made for power, it's made for mileage. And I'm guessing the smoke box is your problem as its just wasting fuel. Not trying to be a jerk, just offering my opinion. Also the ebpv may need cleaned if its sticking too long.
Sent from AutoGuide.com App
I did let it warm up before i romped down on it thats one thing that i make sure i do. and its actually a six speed but i dont really count the granny gear as a driving gear considering i never use it unless im stuck or need to move a little bit forward. and how is the smoke box wasting fuel im using it instead of a y pipe cause i kinda dont have the money to spend to buy a y pipe setup so i used some metal i had around the house. And the truck almost has 180k miles on it so i it could need cleaned but im probablly gonna take it out if it is the prolbem cause to me it would be better to not have it then burn the turbo up or melt the pistons
firstly, your egt probe should be tapped as close to the exhaust port as possible to get an accurate reading. the best place is in the manifold, number 8 port. easiest spot to tap.
second, it's possible the ebpv is being commanded shut due to a bad ect sensor or one of the other inputs the pcm uses to control it. or it could just be sticking. or you haven't reached operating temp when this is occurring and the ebpv is just doing what it should.
if the veicle has reached operating temp when this happens, try disconnecting the ebpv solenoid, located under the turbo. this will confirm that it is an ebpv issue and you can further diagnose where the fault is

Mets to add Andrew Brown to the roster this weekend
The Mets will add OF Andrew Brown to the roster in time for Friday's game against the Braves, reports Adam Rubin of ESPN New York.
Brown is hitting .367 with a 1.062 OPS, two homers and 27 RBIs in 98 at-bats with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Brown is not on the 40-man roster.
Michael Baron, ContributorThe Mets have an open spot on the 40-man roster right now, so the Mets wouldn't have to designate anyone for assignment for Brown. This is a logical guess, but it would make sense for the Mets to send the struggling Collin Cowgill to Triple-A for Brown. While Marlon Byrd is struggling, Cowgill is struggling more and Cowgill has an option to burn in 2013.
I would have expected them to use that 40-man roster spot for someone like Omar Quintanilla, as they currently don't have a true backup shortstop on the roster. And, from what I saw of Brown during camp, his defense left a lot to be desired in the outfield. At the same time, I wonder if the Mets would consider using Brown at first base on occasion as well, especially against left-handed pitching since Ike Davis is hitting .138 with a .435 OPS against lefties so far this season…

How Chinese fishermen spawned the abalone industry
An iconic part of coastal California living used to be fresh abalone grilling over an open flame.And while much is known about the decline of the mollusk, which has virtually disappeared from menus and barbecues after overfishing and disease shrank its population, not so much is known about the roots of abalone becoming such a mainstay of California culture.
Much like with the Gold Rush and railroad construction, Chinese immigrants played a huge part in abalone's history. Long before Californians learned abalone was a delicacy, the Chinese were making a living off plucking it from the rocks at low tide.
"It's a story of an unknown piece of history that has been largely ignored," said Todd Braje, an archaeologist who has been researching the role of the Channel Islands in the early Chinese abalone fishery. "I don't think most people who eat abalone today know how the industry started."
Braje will talk about his findings Wednesday night at Channel Islands National Park headquarters in Ventura. Although free divers can catch some kinds of abalone, which can fetch $50 or more a plate in restaurants, abalone is rare these days compared with 30 years ago, when it was a staple in California.
Braje and a team from the park spent nearly four weeks walking the beaches of San Miguel Island, digging through sand dunes to find the remnants of abalone fisheries that existed there from 1850 to 1865. They found 21 locations where shells and shards of old pottery were buried less than a foot below the surface, although he thinks many more old camps are out there. His research will continue on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa islands, where he suspects there were camps.
Fishermen would sail across the Santa Barbara Channel in traditional Chinese junks and drop off a few people who would pry abalones from rocks and dry them out on the islands. Some fishermen would stay on the islands for months at a time, while others would stay on boats anchored just offshore.
The meat was sold to the growing Chinese community in California or shipped to China.
News articles at the time said eating an abalone was like chewing on shoe leather, so the Chinese had the market to themselves, Braje said.
"A group of Chinese saw this opportunity after getting pushed out of the Gold Rush," he said. "Because most of the state was fascinated with earning a wealth of money, they didn't take notice of the fishery, and there was not an appetite for abalone outside of the Chinese community."
Things changed in 1913, when, at an expo in San Francisco, the abundant abalone off the coast was trumpeted. Chefs had learned the proper way to prepare abalone, and by the 1920s, it was heralded as the "jewel of the sea," Braje said.
Realizing there was money to be made and riding a wave of bigotry, authorities slapped laws and taxes on the Chinese, who soon were forced out of the business.
The abalone fishery took off as consumers greatly enjoyed the mollusk's flavor, but it was overfished heavily. Combined with disease, overfishing ruined the abalone population, and the fishery closed in 1997.
Braje started his research to try to determine the baseline abalone population before the commercial fishery started and learn what a healthy population might look like if a fishery were to start again. Along the way, he became fascinated by how the little-known Chinese fishermen started an industry.
"I don't think they get much credit at all," he said.
Braje's free talk will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, Channel Islands National Park, 1901 Spinnaker Drive at the Ventura Harbor.
