Need information on the science of photovoltaics and solar cell technology? Find it here!
The nanoHUB PhotoVoltaics Reference Zone is the right destination for finding general information about photovoltaic solar cell science and technology, as well as for viewing news articles and getting access to some great PV resource links. Sponsored by the nanoHUB and the Center of Integrated Nanomechanical Systems (COINS) - a joint collaboration for nanoscience education and outreach among UC Berkeley, UC Merced, Stanford University, and CalTech - this page is a continuously-updated resource for researchers and educators involved in the rapidly growing world of solar energy research. Check back monthly for new additions!
The goal of COINS is to develop and integrate cutting-edge nanotechnologies into a versatile platform with various ultra-sensitive, ultra-selective, self-powering, mobile, wirelessly communicating detection applications. The success of this mission requires new advances in nano-electro-mechanical devices, from fundamental building blocks to enabling technologies to full device integration. During the past 3.5 years, we have set our Center on a path towards achieving this goal by developing four major research programs, in the areas of Energy, Sensing, Mobility, and Electronics/Wireless. Each of these programs encompasses research projects spanning the full spectrum of basic through to the applied level, and each program has a set of criteria that has been established for use as a means of determining which projects to support, in order to assure optimal project alignment.
The projects sponsored by COINS are efforts to meet the following goals for our society by means of nano-scale science and technological development: (1) It will lead to such major enhancements in environmental monitoring technology that completely new possibilities will emerge due to better spatial and temporal resolution, and (2) It will fundamentally change the way we are able to respond to proliferation events or serious natural catastrophic events by providing much more accurate information on conditions, allowing for substantially better countermeasures and security.

Inorganic Photovoltaics
- Theoretical Semiconductor Bandgaps - Yong Xu and Martin A.A. Schoonen; American Mineralogist, Volume 85, pages 543-556, 2000
The absolute energy positions of conduction and valence band edges were compiled for about 50 each semiconducting metal oxide and metal sulfide minerals. The relationships between energy levels at mineral semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces and the activities of these minerals as a catalyst or photocatalyst in aqueous redox reactions are reviewed. The compilation of band edge energies is based on experimental flatband potential data and complementary empirical calculations from electronegativities of constituent elements. Whereas most metal oxide semiconductors have valence band edges 1 to 3 eV below the H2O oxidation potential (relative to absolute vacuum scale), energies for conduction band edges are close to, or lower than, the H2O reduction potential. These oxide minerals are strong photo-oxidation catalysts in aqueous solutions, but are limited in their reducing power. Non-transition metal sulfides generally have higher conduction and valence band edge energies than metal oxides; therefore, valence band holes in non-transition metal sulfides are less oxidizing, but conduction band electrons are exceedingly reducing. Most transition-metal sulfides, however, are characterized by small band gaps (<1 eV) and band edges situated within or close to the H2O stability potentials. Hence, both the oxidizing power of the valence band holes and the reducing power of the conduction band electrons are lower than those of non-transition metal sulfides.
- Staebler-Wronski Effect - Strahm, 28 Oct. 2005
This presentation, given by Benjamin Strahm at the Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, discusses the Staebler-Wronski effect in silicon-based PV cells - an effect in which light-induced defects can degrade performance efficiency.
- Unexplained Aspects of the Staebler-Wronski Effect - Bolko von Roedern; Mat. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. Vol. 808, 2004
This contribution reviews the compatibility of Staebler-Wronski models with experimental data and observations. The review will show that neither the "bond-breaking models" (originally proposed by Dersch and Stutzmann) nor the "defect conversion" models (originally proposed by Adler) can explain all observations on films and/or solar cells. It has been well accepted for some time that experimental stress and recovery phenomena, both on films and devices, always identify both "slow" and "fast" degradation and recovery mechanisms. It is argued that the quintessential understanding of the Staebler-Wronski mechanisms will come from identifying a fundamental physical process that provides a quantitative understanding of the "coupling" between the slow and fast mechanisms.
Organic Photovoltaics
- "Photoinduced Electron Transfer from a Conducting Polymer to Buckminsterfullerene" - Sariciftci, Smilowitz, Heeger, and Wuld; Science, New Series, 27 Nov. 1992
Evidence for photoinduced electron transfer from the excited state of a conducting polymer onto buchminsterfullerene, C60, is reported. After photo-excitation of the conjugated polymer with light of energy greater than the pi-pi* gap, an electron transfer to the C60 molecule is initiated. Photoinduced optical absorption studies demonstrate a different excitation spectrum for the composite as compared to the separate components, consistent with photo-excited charge transfer. A photoinduced electron spin resonance signal exhibits signatures of both the conducting polymer cation and the C60 anion. Because the photoluminescence in the conducting polymer is quenched by interaction with C60, the data imply that charge transfer from the excited state occurs on a picosecond time scale. The charge-separated state in composite films is metastable at low temperatures.
- "Polymer Photovoltaic Cells: Enhanced Efficiencies via a Network of Internal Donor-Acceptor Heterojunctions" - G. Yu, J. Gao, J. C. Hummelen, F. Wudl, A. J. Heeger; Science, New Series, 15 Dec. 1995
The carrier collection efficiency and energy conversion efficiency of polymer photovoltaic cells were improved by blending of the semiconducting polymer with C60 or its functionalized derivatives. Composite films of poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) and fullerenes exhibit a carrier collection efficiency of about 29 percent of electrons per photon and an energy conversion efficiency of about 2.9 percent, efficiencies that are better by more than two orders of magnitude than those that have been achieved with devices made with pure MEG-PPV. The efficient charge separation results from photoinduced electron transfer from the MEH-PPV (as donor) to C60 (as acceptor); the high collection efficiency results from a bicontinuous network of internal donor-acceptor heterojunctions.

Using a variety of optical probe techniques we studied the steady state and transient dynamics of charged and neutral photoexcitations in thin films of poly-3-alkyl thiophene with regioregular order, which forms self-assembled lamellae structures with increased interchain interaction, as well as regiorandom order that keeps a chain-like morphology. In regiorandom polythiophene films we found that intrachain excitons with correlated photoinduced absorption and stimulated emission bands are the primary photoexcitations; they give rise to a moderately strong photoluminescence band, and long-lived triplet excitons and intrachain charged polarons. In regioregular polythiophene films, on the contrary we found that the primary photoexcitations are excitons with much larger interchain component; this results in lack of stimulated emission, vanishing intersystem crossing, and a very weak photoluminescence band. The long-lived photoexcitations in regioregular polythiophene films are interchain excitons and delocalized polarons (DP) within the lamellae, with very small relaxation energy. The characteristic properties of the DP species are thoroughly investigated as a function of the alkyl side group of the polymer backbone, film deposition conditions and solvents used, as well as at high hydrostatic pressure. The quantum interference between the low energy absorption band of the DP species and a series of photoinduced infrared active vibrations, which give rise to antiresonances that are superimposed on the electronic absorption band is studied and explained by a Fano-type interference mechanism, using the amplitude mode model.
- "High open-circuit voltage photovoltaic devices from carbon-nanotube-polymer composites" - E. Kymakis, I. Alexandrou, and G.A.J. Amaratunga; Journal of Appl. Phys., 12 Nov. 2002
Organic photovoltaic devices based on the bulk heterojunction concept, containing a blend of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and soluble polythiophene (P3OT) were studied. The open circuit voltage V_oc of the devices was found to be 0.75 V, which is larger than the theoretical limit calculated by the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) model. In order to investigate the origin of this unusually high V_oc , we have prepared P3OT-SWNT based devices with different metal negative electrodes. The V_oc measured is only very weakly dependent on the work function of the metal, suggesting that the MIM model does not apply in this case. From the analysis of the current-voltage characteristics and electron microscopy imaging of the composite structure, it is proposed that the photovoltaic response of these devices is based on the introduction of internal polymer/nanotube junctions within the polymer matrix, which due to a photoinduced electron transfer from the polymer to the nanotube contribute to enhanced charge separation and collection. The data suggest that the negligible influence of the negative electrode work function on V_oc can be explained by the metal negative electrode forming ohmic contacts to the nanotube percolation paths.
- "Influence of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Induced Crystallinity Enhancement and Morphology Change on Polymer Photovoltaic Devices" - G. Geng and T. Zeng; JACS Articles, 6 Dec. 2006
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were determined to have significant interaction with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), which is helpful to form continuous active film with interpenetrating structure and improve the crystallinity of the resultant film for SWNTs/P3HT composite. Photovoltaic devices based on an active film with relatively higher crystallinity display much enhanced performance. The work function of carbon nanotubes modulated by electron transferring from P3HT to SWNTs is proposed to explain the high open-circuit voltage (V_oc) obtained from the photovoltaic devices based on the SWNTs/P3HT system.
Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
- "Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Review" - M. Graetzel; Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1 July 2003
The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) provides a technically and economically credible alternative concept to present day p-n junction photovoltaic devices. In contrast to the conventional systems where the semiconductor assume both the task of light absorption and charge carrier transport the two functions are separated here. Light is absorbed by a sensitizer, which is anchored to the surface of a wide band semiconductor. Charge separation takes place at the interface via photo-induced electron injection from the dye into the conduction band of the solid. Carriers are transported in the conduction band of the semiconductor to the charge collector. The use of sensitizers having a broad absorption band in conjunction with oxide films of nanocrstalline morphology permits to harvest a large fraction of sunlight. Nearly quantitative conversion of incident photon into electric current is achieved over a large spectral range extending from the UV to the near IR region. Overall solar (standard AM 1.5) to current conversion efficiencies (IPCE) over 10% have been reached. There are good prospects to produce these cells at lower cost than conventional devices. Here we present the current state of the field, discuss new concepts of the dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cell (DSC) including heterojunction variants and analyze the perspectives for the future development of the technology.
General Theory
- "Detailed Balance Limit of Efficiency of p-n Junction Solar Cells" - W. Shockley and H.J. Queisser; Journal Of Appl. Phys., March 1961
in order to find an upper theoretical limit for the efficiency of p-n junction solar energy converters, a limiting efficiency, called the detailed balance limit of efficiency, has been calculated for an ideal case in which the only recombination mechanism of hole-electron pairs is radiative as required by the principle of detailed balance. The efficiency is also calculated for the case in which radiative recombination is only a fixed fraction f_e of the total recombination, the rest being nonradiative. Efficiencies at the matched loads have been calculated with band gap and f_e as parameters, the sun and cell being assumed to be blackbodies with temperatures of 6000K and 300K, respectively. The maximum efficiency is found to be 30% for an energy gap of 1.1 eV and f_e=1. Actual junctions do not obey the predicted current-voltage relationship, and reasons for the difference and its relevance to efficiency are discussed.
- "Modelling Organic Solar Cells" - A. Moliton and J.M. Nunzi; Polym. Int., 29 March 2006
In this paper we discuss the optimization of various parameters which govern the behaviour of polymer based and organic photovoltaic cells. General mechanisms leading to the generation of charge carriers and the related loss factors are detailed. Theoretical electrical parameters for bilayer and interpenetrating networks of donors and acceptors (open circuit voltages) are established along with current versus voltage characteristics. An equivalent circuit to a solar cell, considering the effects of shunt resistance across the whole layer, is elaborated. After modelling optical interference and its effects on the photocurrent spectrum, orders of magnitude of the required parameters are established for an efficient solar cell. Deviations from optimal values and their effects on the current-voltage characteristics are discussed. Ageing and degradation effects, and calculations demonstrating the necessary photophysical requirements to achieve long-term stable devices are presented.

Subaru buyers care about the environment. They buy Subarus to get outdoors, and to spend time hiking, biking, skiing, and going to the beach. At least they dream of having time to do those things.
The fuel economy and emissions of their cars are a sensitive issue for these buyers, so the company could be particularly hard-hit following an investigation into falsifying results fuel economy and emissions results on tests in Japan.
Japan began investigating the company last year for falsifying fuel-economy and emissions reports at its two factories in the country, and Subaru has now confirmed that final testing data was manipulated on more than 900 cars going back to 2002, according to Carscoops.
The company confirmed that such cheating had been going on since at least 2012, but said it could not find data from before that year.
When the investigation was announced, the company's investors demonstrated how much they care about fuel economy and emissions, lopping 8 percent off the company's share price.
READ THIS: Hyundai, Kia To Pay $300 Million For Gas-Mileage Testing Errors (2014)
Although employees were caught falsifying numbers, Subaru says no recall will be needed, because the company's internal standards are stricter than what the government requires.
The company said its training of inspectors may have been inadequate, that senior inspectors ordered junior workers to alter the data and passed down these procedures to newer employees, and that some data was falsified to minimize variance in the tests, even when that meant lowering fuel economy results for cars that tested better than the norm.
It's not clear whether the cheating affected any U.S. models or EPA fuel-economy ratings. The problem is similar to those that affected Ford and Hyundai in 2014.

It was June, not that long ago when the Mets were surging – 11 games over .500 – and Mike Pelfrey and Ubaldo Jimenez were mentioned in the same sentence as budding pitching stars.
Jimenez (17-2, 2.61) has been hit briefly, but still has electrifying numbers. Pelfrey, meanwhile, has gone from 9-1 to 10-6 with a 4.16 ERA. Pelfrey's ERA has spiked nearly two runs a game, and it was eight starts ago that he pitched six complete innings.
Tired arm, tipping his pitches, poor mechanics, losing control of this splitter and sinker and a psychological step backward are just some of the partial explanations for his slide.
There's not just one answer, but all of the above have contributed to Pelfrey's slide to where he's one again a reliability question.
The Mets have been waiting for Pelfrey to take that next step bit of five seasons now. At 200 innings and a 13-11 record in 2008 was a positive. Pelfrey won his first four decisions the following year to give the believe things might have sunk in, but he went 6-12 the rest of the way and the same of problems resurfaced.
Pelfrey seemed to put it together through most of June. He pitched quickly and efficiently; he had command of his secondary, breaking pitching; and he had confidence in his fastball.
All that's gone now, and based on performance both Jon Niese and R.A. Dickey are ahead.
The slide didn't happen overnight and neither will the recovery. The Mets falling out of contention coincided with Pelfrey's fall.
Now, it's in the remaining two months where Pelfrey needs to right himself and remove his name from being an off-season question.

Here's our final recap for the 2005 BSMW voting. We're looking at a relatively minor role, that of the studio host, who introduces the game, brings guests in and out of segments and sets up the studio analysts for their opinions. The host will also perhaps have a few between-periods spots, as well as a post-game wrapup which might include filling time until press conferences are held, and getting analysis from the guests and whomever else might be on the program.
The ideal host is smooth, able to transition between segments effortlessly, sets up his analysts nicely and is flexible enough to be able to handle any unexpected development, such as a weather delay, technical difficulty or sudden lineup change.
Here's how you voted in this category:
Going by the above description, Tom Caron is an almost perfect studio host, and the voting affirmed that. (597 votes for 46% of the total) Caron never makes himself the star of the show, and smoothly navigates through the pre and post game shows setting up his guests and analysts very well. During rain delays he never seems like he's just there filling time, he keeps the discussions going and keeps them lively.
Caron's NESN teammate Eric Frede, who handles the Bruins studio hosting duties came in second, a bit of a surprise, given the awful season turned in by the B's. Frede got 264 votes for 20% of the total. He has filled in on occasion for Caron on the Red Sox telecasts, and has handled those opportunities very well. Bob Lobel of the Patriots pregame and 5th quarter came in third.
Reader Comments: Caron first, by default. I liked Rodgers better, but Caron is fine. A very unenthusiastic "best" vote for Caron. A pretty solid performer but his voice and look are not that good.
Now a look at the other end of the spectrum:
Someone complained to me during the voting that it wasn't fair that Gary Tanguay was listed in this category twice. They reasoned that he would split his vote and finish behind someone else. Well, there's no rules that say we can't combine his totals and make them one number. By that method Tanguay's gigs with WBCN radio hosting Patriots games and his FSN chores for the Celtics netted him 31% of the vote, which ties him with Bob Lobel to lead the voting in this category.
In contrast to Caron, Tanguay oftentimes seems to be trying to make himself the center of attention. His idea of generating discussion during his hosting duties is oftentimes to take some unpopular or knee-jerk stance and introduce it as a topic for discussion. Last year during the Patriots preseason, the team took it easy on Tom Brady in the preseason. Tanguay several times tried to assert that this meant that there was something wrong with Brady that all fans should be deeply concerned about. Of course, Brady then went on to have perhaps his finest season as a pro. Lobel's telecasts are sometimes shaky and uneven, though I think people are harsher on him than necessary. Once in a while he'll pull a Tanguay and try to get people worked on during a Patriots pre or post game show, but not with the same frequency. Having Bob Neumeier next to him has helped the last couple years as they do work very well together.
Reader Comments: Tanguay on 'BCN is the worst; he tries to obscure his lack of football knowledge with a preposterous "tough guy" act. The Pats deserve better, Jonathan….Which sucks worse, Tanger on 'BCN or Tanger on FSN? Verrrry tough choice. On pure volume of stupidity, I have to go with the 'BCN Tanguay.

Now, onto tonight's dinner. I cooked up some yummy organic corn from the farmer's market. Yummers (the cat), was thrilled. We always give him some.
I also cooked up some zucchini! As you can see, we've got plenty! This week we are taking care of our neighbors' pets and garden. Another neighbor was on duty last week... and I guess she doesn't like zucchini, because she let a few of them get REALLY big! So now we've got two of these big beasts, and a few normal sized ones as well.
I cut that big zuke in half and made the "Zucchini with tomatoes and basil" from the same issue of cook's illustrated. A nice, rich side dish. We've got a bit left over, so maybe I can think of something yummy to do with it tomorrow.
And of course, I couldn't resist... the powerful lure was too great. I succumbed and made another yummy pizza. Check out the size of those tomato slices!! That's crazy cool!

Sorry for the long delay again but i really did not find the time to play Brikwars and in the little free time i had i procrastinated... Things will go faster from now on though.
Briktopians played by Kalvinator
The Avenger shoots at the Roboraptor. Though it hits the Roboraptor's armor proves to be
quite formidable. (the damage roll was rather low)
Then it moves around the back of the base towards Dr. Braghardt's lab. There was no infantry in range for the machine gun.
These two troopers shoot a DSM.
The troops are very effective this turn. Here they shoot two more spacemen that just came through the gap in the fence.
The last one's weapon has a major malfunction. He needs to leave it behind.
Together with Raszack the troops move on.
Four guys combine fire on one DSM who gets literally exploded.
Both the Ocelot as well as the Jaguar slowly drive over the rubble of the pedestrian bridge. The trooper on the
Ocelot shoots the pilot of the trike! The vehicles' weapons get reloaded during this turn.
The medic and the last of the troopers move up and prepare response fire.
The other Avenger shoots at Braghardt's spaceship but it moves fast and (barely) escapes the shot.
Then the pilot drives it into the townhall, wrecking the building even further.

MORRISON – A judge on Friday delayed by 4 months the next murder trial of twice-convicted killer Nicholas T. Sheley.
The trial, which had been set for June 3, is now scheduled to start Oct. 15. Sheley, 33, of Sterling, is accused of murdering four people, including a 2-year-old boy, in a Rock Falls apartment in late June 2008.
In a pretrial hearing Friday in Whiteside County Court, Judge Jeffrey O'Connor said he was working under the belief that the trial would begin in June.
"Is there any reason that the trial date wouldn't be in June?" he asked.
Sheley's attorney, Jeremy Karlin, then asked for a delay until October "over my client's personal objections." Karlin said he had yet to receive a list of witnesses and evidence from prosecutors, and as such, he wouldn't be ready to try the case in June.
State's Attorney Trish Joyce said she had no objection as long as the delay wouldn't be assessed against the state.
O'Connor agreed to the 4-month delay. He said that if the delay would mean that Sheley's representation would be more complete, "that should be respected."
Earlier this month, Karlin filed a request to move the trial out of Whiteside County, contending pretrial publicity and "community outrage" would taint the pool of prospective jurors and prevent Sheley from getting a fair trial.
At Friday's hearing, Joyce said she had yet to file a response to Karlin's request.
Karlin said he had thought the venue issue would be resolved at Friday's hearing.
The judge said the court would address that issue at the next pretrial hearing, which is set for April 26.
Sheley is charged in the deaths of Brock Branson, 29; his fiancée Kilynna Blake, 20; her 2-year-old son, Dayan; and Kenneth Ulve, 25. Sheley is facing 15 counts of first-degree murder in the case.
In January, Sheley was sentenced to life in prison without parole in the bludgeoning death of Russell Reed, 93, of rural Sterling.
Sheley earlier was sentenced to life without parole in the death of Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg. Sheley has appealed that sentence.
He also is charged in Missouri with the murders of an Arkansas couple during the spree killings over a few days in the summer of 2008.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A 46-year-old Jerusalemite is being held on suspicion of offering himself as a spy for the Iranian regime. Israeli media reports that the suspect has not yet been named, but is being held on charges of espionage and abetting an enemy in time of war.
The suspect allegedly belongs to the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta Hasidic sect, which holds a theological view that is against the founding of the State of Israel. They deem that self-determination of the State of Israel is a violation of God's Messianic plan and that a sovereign Jewish state will be established only when the Jewish Messiah arrives. For them, the Zionist ethos stands in sharp contrast to the traditional attitude of waiting patiently for the Messiah.
According to the indictment, the suspect flew to Berlin in January 2011 to meet with Iranian officials at the country's embassy in the city. He attempted to enter the embassy on January 17, but found it to be closed. Returning the following day, he was led into an inner room at the embassy and there met with three unidentified men, however according to suspect's testimony one man apparently introduced himself as Haji Baba.
The suspect told the Iranian officials that he denies the existence of the State of Israel and offered to spy for Iran. He also explained to the officials that he was not interested in asylum, and was "willing to murder a Zionist."
The Iranian officials gave the suspect a note with an email address where they said he would find a message. They also asked the suspect to maintain telephone contact with them.
Three days after the meeting, the suspect returned to Israel and began to check the email address repeatedly and even attempted to contact "Haji Baba" by phone.
He was arrested in mid-July, but a gag order was placed on the case.
Attorney Yair Nehorai, who is representing the suspect, states that his client did not harm national security. "It's important to remember that no harm was caused to the state or any other party. The [indictment] refers to events that took place over two years ago. We will study the evidence and deal with these serious accusations," Nehorai said.
Israel faces a continuous battle not only for political and economic legitimacy on the international stage, but also internally with not only socio-religious divides but inter-religious conflicts that have the potential to destabilize Israel's security more than any of Israel's external enemies. In the words of columnist Bob Londsberry, "the only enemy to fear is the enemy within, the demon that speaks in your own voice, the assassin in the mirror."

About next week's featured Fresh Thoughts chef, Patrick Morrow of Ryleigh's Oyster:
Morrow was born and raised in Texas and North Carolina. And it shows through in his broad-shouldered, but still sophisticated cuisine. Attention to detail, inventive ingredients, and a skillful balance of elements within each dish are hallmarks of Chef Morrow's style, and they keep his menus fresh.
His adamant focus on local and sustainable produce, meats and seafood began during his tenure as sous chef at VIN in Towson and then as executive chef at Ryleigh's Oyster in Federal Hill. After firmly establishing Ryleigh's Oyster as part of the Baltimore food scene, Morrow left to open Bluegrass Tavern, a restaurant of his own conception, where he operated as executive chef during the opening year to the delight of restaurant critics and patrons alike.
Always keeping an eye to the horizon, seeking new challenges and tackling new cuisines, the restaurant group responsible for Ryleigh's Oyster has recently been able to lure Chef Morrow back into their folds. He is currently embarking on several new projects for the group.
In preparation for next week's dinner, we chatted with Patrick about how sustainable seafood is changing the culinary scene throughout the mid-Atlantic region:
What's your favorite sustainable seafood ingredient to prepare?
It's tough to choose just one favorite ingredient, but would have to say the farmed oysters would be at the top of my list.
How is sustainable seafood playing a role in Baltimore's dining scene?
I think in the recent years, chefs have become more aware of what they are buying and how they are sourcing the foods they purchase. So you are seeing an increase of sustainable seafood on different menus.
What's your biggest challenge when it comes to cooking sustainably?
The hardest part was finding a good seafood supplier that understood what we were looking for and was willing to supply us with the highest quality sustainable seafood available.
What is one sustainable seafood ingredient you hope to see more of in restaurants (including your own) this year?
Maybe it's the Southerner in me, but would love to see more people using catfish!
If everyone could walk away from our Fresh Thoughts dinner knowing one thing, it would be …
Just to spend extra time figuring out a little more about the seafood products that they are buying and how there is a lot of alternatives out there.
How can people better understand sustainable seafood issues concerning oysters?
I think with increased education of how the wild oyster beds are depleting and side effects that it has caused in the bay. And to show people alternatives to wild oysters, with the growing number of high quality farmed oysters in the market place.

ALAMEDA — Five Guys Burgers and Fries is moving into the South Shore Center space vacated by Pearl's Deluxe Burgers in late January. The burger joint is set to open later this summer.
Owners of the restaurant franchise signed a seven-year lease for the location, which is next to Alameda Beauty Supply and across from Panera Bread. Five Guys first opened in 1986 in the Washington, D.C. area and now has more than 1,000 locations nationwide, including Bay Area sites in San Jose, Brentwood, Burlingame, Concord, Dublin, Fremont, Hayward, Pinole and Pleasant Hill.
"As more visitors come to South Shore Center for family events, dining and shopping, Five Guys saw an opportunity to serve the active Alameda community," said Julie Taylor, senior vice president of Cornish & Carey Commercial Newmark Knight Frank, the leasing agent for South Shore Center, in a statement released Monday.
Pearl's Deluxe Burgers closed its doors earlier this year after opening at the retail center in August 2010. "The bottom line is that the food trucks were killing me," manager Young Han Yi, owner of two Pearl's restaurants in San Francisco, said at the time. Some residents say they are looking forward to visiting the new South Shore tenant.
"Sure. I'm always looking for the next great burger," said Mary Grace Basco, a teacher and mother of two.
Meanwhile across town, the Planning Board on Monday approved a drive-through and late-night hours for an In-N-Out Burger, set to be built as part of the Alameda Landing project on the West End. The approval, however, requires the city to win approval from Caltrans for a pedestrian crosswalk that could better assure public safety for those crossing the busy street and tunnel exit.

I've written a lot (some would say I'm obsessed) about the major role input plays in language acquisition. Here's one previous post outlining this precious focus / principle. But I'm not a fan of extensive reading. Yes, it works but I don't think it is the input students really need. Let me explain.
As part of EnglishCentral, I'm a proponent of the new video realm in teaching English – Extensive Watching. It is a multi modal type of learning and aligned with the interests and motivations of more digitally minded learners. I think one day, we'll be talking about the four skills of language as Speaking | Listening | Writing | Watching . Video and especially for language learners, videos with subtitles IS the new textbook and new way to learn English.
Reading is much like watching a foreign (non English) video with subtitles. But imagine watching an English video with English subtitles to support the context and meaning. It is much more powerful and you get phonemic awareness, reading, sound/listening and direct visual support/context.
But you can even make extensive watching more powerful. Krashen (the father of input, input, input) advocates "narrow reading". Read more about it here but essentially it is reading one author, one genre and controlling a lot of the semantic nuance so learning is narrowed and focused. Context is bridged and learning becomes easier. Like if you read only the Hardy Boys novels to learn English. Very similar to Kieran Egan's "Learning In Depth" or "deep" learning concept. But I think narrow reading falls short of what I'd advocate. I think "narrow watching" is the thing.
We all have heard of students learning so much English so quickly from watching TED videos or 7 seasons of Friends. They "narrow" the learning corridor and make great progress. That's what our courses, our topical approach on EnglishCentral is – Narrow Watching. Students can watch commercials and learn English. Or they can follow VOA news reports to learn English. What about learning English with "How to" videos? Even just listen to Obama and learn English. Or what I think is stellar – learn English with videos about food and recipes! If they do – I can bet they'll make Krashen's narrow reading progress X 2.
So my advice to learners and teachers? Narrow in. Find out what your students like. Focus in on that, go deep, not wide. It will pay off big time.

Arhaus Furniture brings an eclectic, global style to Texas
A pair of escalators holding court in the middle of the new Arhaus Furniture is the only thing connecting the building to its previous life as a Barnes & Noble. For the Ohio-based company's first store in Texas, Arhaus completely transformed the 25,000-square-foot space, knocking down and moving the exterior walls and adding a huge glass atrium ceiling to infuse the store with natural light.
Arhaus embraces an eclectic aesthetic, with a color palette that ranges from bright, of-the-moment orange and lime to vignettes that feature sleek European influence or a darker, more industrial look.
"I love to mix really modern things with more much traditional things. I think it gives a very warm, collected-over-time feeling to a person's home, instead of going in and having it all decorated and perfect," said Gary Babcock, Arhaus senior vice president of fashion and merchandising. "It really gives people an idea of how you can easily work in things that you love with new things and make it look great."
Each Arhaus store - there are more than 40 in the United States - is customized for the local market, so in addition to rooms that feature strong nautical influences and a bit of classic Texas cowhide and leather, the Houston outpost is the first to include a large display of outdoor furniture, located just inside the main entrance.
"Houston is a perfect market for us," said Babcock. "When you look at home furnishing magazines and see Houston décor in them, it can be anything from a Tuscan villa to a New York loft, which is very cool. That's what I tried to convey with the interior structure here."
Arhaus sells everything from carpets to ceiling fixtures, sourcing furnishings and accessories from small-scale artisans around the globe and mixing in one-of-a-kind pieces that range from antiques (dubbed "relics") to driftwood tables and works of art. Arhaus' signature hammered copper tables, for example, have a special finish perfected by a factory in Mexico. There's also an upholstery catalog featuring over 2,000 fabrics.
While the styles may vary, one thing every item has in common is that each is made with natural, sustainable materials.
"We only use natural materials in all of our accessories, home furnishings, upholstery, everything," said Babcock. "We don't use resins or plastics or things like that, which you'll find at almost any other retailer. If it looks like wood, it's wood. If it looks like stone, it's stone - and it's also heavy like stone."
While Arhaus has a team of decorators that will make house calls, Babcock says the best way to experience the store is just to wander from to room to room and get ideas from the eclectic, multi-layered spaces.
"It's a mesmerizing kind of store," he said. "It's a place to get lost in."

to me this is a great answer.mainly because its the kind of thing that happened to make me a believer.i dont think being a believer or a skeptic necessarily comes down to evidence.in most cases it does sure,but sometimes it boils down to you have or have not experienced it.i personally have,although i have no evidence.i dont expect my personal "stories" and experiences to change anyones point of view but i personally know they happened.therefore,i am a believer.
Well actually, my mind doesn't really to be changed. It's more like my level of belief can always go up.
I entertain the possibility that ghosts exist, I'm just not sold on the idea.
What would it really take to convince me? A personal experience. A real head-scratcher as far as an explanation goes.
I don't need to be physically assaulted, but a good up close look at something would be nice.
As a skeptic what would change your mind?

G7 Tries to Put Currency Genie Back in the Bottle
You know, it's not like Ben Bernanke's going to go to Congress and ask for a declaration of currency war.
The G7 nations (the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan) issued a joint statement today in an attempt to diffuse all this talk of a currency war, and ahead of a meeting with their counterparts from the wider G20, this week in Moscow.
"We reaffirm that our fiscal and monetary policies have been and will remain oriented towards meeting our respective domestic objectives using domestic instruments, and that we will not target exchange rates," G-7 finance ministers and central bank governors said in a statement published by the U.K. treasury.
This after the Japanese under new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe specifically and repeatedly targeted the yen, and the statement was interpreted by the market as giving a green light to Japan's implicit yen policy.

Peach Borers
Peachtree Borer, Lesser Peachtree Borer, Shot Hole Borer
Both the Peachtree Borer and the Lesser Peachtree Borer are clearwing moths. They are often mistaken for wasps due to their appearance and behavior. Shothole borers are small, cylindrical beetles.
The female Peachtree Borer is metallic, blue-black except for a red-orange band on the abdomen (Fig. 1). The front wings are blue-black and the hindwings are transparent. The male Peachtree Borer has clear wings with a black border. The body is black with yellow stripes along the back at the base of each wing. There are narrow yellow stripes on the abdomen. The larva is about 1 to 1 1/4 inches long when fully grown. It is creamy white with a brown head (Fig. 2).
Both the male and female Lesser Peachtree Borer resemble the male Peachtree Borer, but are somewhat smaller. The larva is very similar, but smaller.
Hosts : Both the peachtree borer and the lesser peachtree borer are serious pests of peaches. They are found on most cultivated and wild stone fruits, including some ornamental shrubs such as flowering peach and cherry. Shothole borers attack many fruit trees and ornamental trees and shrubs. Plants under stress are highly susceptible to shothole borer attack.
Injury : As the common name indicates, both are borers during larval stage. The Peachtree Borer attacks the tree at the base and may be found feeding from the main roots to about 10 inches up onto the trunk. Masses of gum with sawdust-like material, called frass, mixed in with the gum are the primary symptoms of attack. Young trees can be killed by a very small number of larvae. Older trees can tolerate more larvae.
The Lesser Peachtree Borer attacks the trunk and main limbs. Again the symptoms are gum containing frass oozing from the area. Heavy infestations can kill individual limbs or an entire tree.
Shothole borers attack the trunk and limbs. The entry holes look like the tree has been hit with fine bird shot (Fig. 3). The adult beetle bores into the bark and then carves out chambers below the bark in which to lay eggs. The larvae feed on the bark. Occasionally, shothole borers may attempt to enter the twigs at the base of flower buds. This can destroy the buds.
Life History : All three borers overwinter as larvae. The Peachtree Borer has one generation per year. Some adults begin emerging in late May. The number emerging slowly increases in June and July and then increases rapidly to a peak in mid- to late August. Few adults are found after mid-October. About two weeks after the eggs are laid at the base of the tree the small larvae hatch, burrow into the bark, and begin feeding. They stop feeding when cold weather comes and resume feeding the following spring. When mature, they form a cocoon of silk and frass in a tunnel in the soil or bark of the tree.
Pupation takes place in the cocoon. Just before the adult emerges, the pupa wiggles out of the tunnel so that about a third to a half of it is exposed to the air. After the adult emerges, the golden brown pupal skin is left protruding from the soil or bark.
The lesser Peachtree Borer has a very similar life history. The only difference is that there are two generations per year. Occasionally there may be a partial third generation. Emergence peaks occur in mid-May and late July. Females of both borers are attracted to damaged areas on the bark.
Shothole Borers have several generations a year. The adults emerge from the infested trees and move to new trees, especially those under stress from drought, disease, or other reasons.
Control : Since the Peachtree Borer causes its most severe damage to young trees, special care must be taken during planting to avoid damaging the bark. A pre-plant dip in an insecticide solution is strongly recommended. In light soils the wind may make the tree move enough to make a gap between the trunk and the soil or abrade the bark. This is also an excellent entry site for the larvae. Annual trunk sprays during August will generally keep the Peachtree Borer under control. Be sure to apply sufficient spray from the scaffold limbs to ground level so the bark is saturated and a small puddle forms at the base of each tree.
The best control for the Lesser Peachtree Borer and Shothole Borer is to keep the trees in a vigorous, healthy growing condition and to prevent mechanical injury. Prune out split or broken limbs and limbs with signs of borer damage where feasible. Avoid spreading bacterial canker while pruning.
Spray infested sites while applying the trunk sprays in August. This will help reduce the Lesser Peachtree Borer and Shothole Borer population. Because there are two or more generations per year it is difficult to get good control with insecticides since the first generation emerges while there is fruit on the tree.
A directed, hand applied spray is the only effective method of application. Commercial growers have several insecticide options for borer control, but homeowners and small growers are much more restricted in what can be applied. Check with your local County Extension Agent for specific insecticide recommendations.
If a tree is gumming, but no sawdust-like frass is found, contact your County Extension Agent about disease control recommendations. This may be a sign of potentially serious disease problems.

Replace the 0 with the display number, e.g. 0 for port 5500 or 400 for 5900. (port = 5500 + x) You need to have the package xtightvncviewer installed for this to work in Ubuntu. The color parameter does not work properly in this configuration.
Or give ssvnc a try. It works even with SCIII (uvnc Single Click via SSL), supports different color depths and much more!

by Mary Price Lee & Richard S. Lee
"Is this trip worth it?" the driver among us wondered aloud. First came the rain, with umbrellas, at home. Then came rush-hour traffic on Welsh Road (Route 63), with especially gooey intersections at 202 and then at North Wales Road. Hah! We weren't even in Lansdale, where Welsh Road becomes Main Street. Finally, we arrived at Molly Maguire's, on the corner at 329 West Main, one block past the railroad crossing — and, lo, the rain stopped.
Metered parking is available by turning the Maguire's corner and winding your way into Lansdale train station parking ahead and to the right. It took us 35 minutes to get there from our home in Flourtown on a rainy early Friday evening; we figure it would take about 15 minutes on a clear midday Tuesday.
Molly Maguire's has a narrow footprint on Main Street, but its etched glass windows facing the side street provide lots of inside light to complement the pressed-tin ceiling, handsome bar with its multi-colored tiled floor, dark wood paneling and varied seating that includes richly-upholstered sofa-style banquettes as well as conventional chairs and tables.
Molly Maguire's is celebrating its first anniversary this month, and, while the first year was not all beer and skittles, with several management changes, our impression is that it is now firmly establishing its place in the revitalizing of Lansdale. That goal will become reality if its new general manager, Jay Murphy, can make his plans unfold.
Irish but born in London, single and 39, this Irish Rover has traveled the world and has the stories to prove it. Example: he was working in London at the time of Princess Diana's funeral, and has his own vivid impressions of the event. He's not a Royalist, although he has shaken Prince Charles' hand, but he captivated the one of us who is with a lively exchange of Royal Family tales. His past includes 25 years in the Irish pub business, running, first, the busiest pub and later the biggest pub (O'Neill's) in Ireland. He's been in the U.S. for two years.
We met, too, with Jerry Eichner, executive chef for the two (and soon to be three) Molly Maguire's Pubs. (The first, founded in 2007, is in Phoenixville; the next will open later this year in Downingtown.) Jerry is 33, a self-taught chef who came to the Phoenixville Molly's after 10 years at a Peddler's Village restaurant.
Molly's large menu has Irish staples interspersed with such "interesting" items as fried dill pickles wrapped in light dough, fried, dashed with Parmesan cheese and served with horseradish cream sauce ($7.95). The high-water mark on their menu is a New York strip steak with black and tan onion rings, $23.95, with most entrees in the $17-$18 range. Sandwiches and other fare are notably less.
We dipped a bit lower. One of us had a ham and Cheddar boxty: grilled ham, Irish Cheddar, with grilled tomatoes and fried onions, wrapped in an Irish potato cake and topped with warm Cheddar sauce ($11.95). Served with just-right cooked vegetables, this was an excellent choice.
Molly's least expensive entrée was our other choice: mac and cheese ($12.95). This was huge — penne pasta with bacon and cheddar, topped with toasted bread crumbs. In addition to the standing variety, they offer a mac and cheese of the day, same price, slight twist to the traditional ingredients (example: summer squash added). This was pure comfort food. We closed this calorie-laden meal with a shared slice of Bailey's cheesecake — as good as the name would imply, and made by their own baker in the Phoenixville Molly's; all was abetted by excellent service from Sarah Metmiller, a Lansdale resident.
Molly's has gotten some snarky online reviews, as well as praise, nearly all the gripes from its opening days, and part of the reason for Jay Murphy's presence as GM. But based on our experience, Molly's is worth a visit.
There's also a new $8.99 lunch special: one-half sandwich and a choice of soups. On a return visit to re-take a photo, one of us had a half-Reuben and a deliciously sloppy bowl of onion soup. The other enjoyed a bleu cheese burger, lavishly trimmed, for $10.95.
Molly's has music on Friday and Saturday evenings and traditional Irish music on Sunday afternoons.
According to owner Conor Cummins, the name of the restaurant comes from a legendary widow in Ireland in the mid-1800s whose name was taken by a group of men thought to be responsible for many acts of violence against landlords who treated poor Irish tenant families in a most cruel manner. The name Molly Maguires was also taken by a group of Irish American coal miners in Pennsylvania in the 1860s and '70s who engaged in many acts of violence against landlords and mine owners who had perpetrated horrific acts of injustice against coal miners and poor tenants.
Molly Maguire's Restaurant and Pub, 329 West Main St., Lansdale. Reservations suggested; 267-263-2109. Open daily 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. For menus and directions, www.mollymaguireslansdale.com.

This research is about the interrelation between the behavioral psychology of human beings and physical built form around them. The title 'Learning outside the classroom' associates what lies between architecture and education. In other words the learning environments and the process of learning, how these two, under given certain conditions, influence one another. The school projects seek to how space can be stimulus to learning, rather than just being a successful design solution. There is a growing rediscovery of the fact that the quality of the physical environment has a major role to play in educating children. The intention of this study is to reveal the value of appropriate design of children's environments and, how spatial relationship can be an opportunity for learning. Here, an approach given to perceive school environments as an assembly of successful learning conditions provided to satisfy the basic needs of children. Through understanding psychological theories and observing behavioral response in learning conditions, an effort has been made to dissolve the gap between the field of child psychology and architecture of Schools.

Andy Roddick and I hanging out in Atlantic Station of downtown Atlanta. He just got off court after hitting with Mardy Fish for about 3 hours. Andy and Mardy were trash talking so much and so many jokes coming from Andy. It was really cool to see Andy serve so amazingly fast.
