Gabriel artistically delivers three hours of emotion
The last time I saw Peter Gabriel was in July of 1987 while he was touring in support of his popular "So" album. During the show, Gabriel, who was 37-years-old, pounded out the sexually-themed "Sledgehammer," "Shock the Monkey" and actually had the audience body pass him during "Lay Your Hands On Me."
Wednesday night's concert at the Marcus Amphitheater was nothing like that.
Instead, the 61-year-old singer delivered a three-hour concert – with a 20-minute break for the spectacular fireworks show – that featured a 50-plus-piece orchestra headed by dramatic conductor Ben Foster and included a collection of international and Milwaukee musicians. Gabriel invited local musicians to join the orchestra for one night in all 12 of the cities he stopped in during his tour.
Two female back-up singers accompanied Gabriel as well, one of which is his daughter, Melanie Gabriel, along with Norwegian singer Ane Brune who also opened for Gabriel on this tour.
Gabriel is touring in support of his 2010 covers-only album, "Scratch My Back." He also played tracks from an album due out later this year called "New Blood," featuring orchestral arrangements of his songs.
The extremely punctual Gabriel started his show at exactly 8:30 p.m. with David Bowie's "Heroes," followed by "Wallflower" (his own tune) and then the Talking Heads' song, "Listening Wind." According to Gabriel, Heads' keyboardist and guitarist Jerry Harrison was at the show.
Gabriel also performed The Arcade Fire's "My Body Is A Cage," along with his own songs "Digging In the Dirt," "Secret World," "Biko" and "Mercy Street," which he dedicated to confessional poet Anne Sexton.
If anyone in the audience was already on the verge of a breakdown over the beauty and injustices of the world, tonight's show created the perfect setting. All of the songs were deeply emotional, dramatic and anthemic, particularly "Red Rain," "In Your Eyes," "Don't Give Up" and "Solsbury Hill."
Even though fan favorites / MTV hits like "Sledgehammer" were left out, it really didn't matter. This show felt more like an experience – dare I say "a journey" through Gabriel's life and career. All of the songs overlapped into one long, passionate piece of music.
It was particularly emotional experience, perhaps, because it was the last night of the tour. Gabriel whole heartedly thanked the orchestra and many of the behind-the-scenes people repeatedly during the performance.
Gabriel also included a touching circle-of-life element in the show, speaking of an experience he had recently with his 90-something-year-old father and a yogi during a week-long retreat. He says he didn't know his father very well prior to this experience, but after spending time with him, and through yoga, he got physically closer to his father than he had since he was a child. This experience was the impetus for the song, "Father and Son." When Gabriel performed this song on Wednesday night, he simultaneously showed grainy black-and-white footage from the retreat on large screens.
"Hug them while you can," said Gabriel.
Singing with his daughter was also clearly emotional for Gabriel and added another element of family to the show. "You're making a dad very proud," he told her after they sang a duet on "Downside Up." Later, he spoke about his two young sons who remind him of the importance of going to bed in a good mental place.
In 1967, Gabriel started progressive rock band Genesis and served as the group's lead singer and flautist. He was known for his flamboyant stage presence, which often involved multiple costume changes during a single performance. Genesis concerts were visual experiences and often included black light and fluorescent clothing.
Although on this tour, Gabriel has been dressing in simple black outfits, he continues the tradition of providing a visual experience for his audience with 10-foot-high LED screens.
At the end of the show, Gabriel accidentally skipped ahead on the set list to "Don't Give Up," an '80s favorite that was scheduled for the encore. Consequently, Gabriel admitted he had "f*cked up" and there was not another encore in its place.

With Bingaman's Departure, Senate Is Losing One of Its Brightest Lights
With Bingaman's Departure, Senate Is Losing One of Its Brightest Lights -- and Biggest Gentlemen
All the light fixtures in Sen. Jeff Bingaman's Hart Senate Office Building suite are fitted with highly efficient sensor-controlled LED bulbs. He has also installed the ultra-efficient light-emitting diodes in the hearing rooms for the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which he chairs. And he is in the process of switching out the incandescent bulbs in his new Capitol "hideaway" office in favor of more energy-efficient options.
But the switch has come with little fanfare. The 67-year-old New Mexico Democrat has not used it to berate his political adversaries for their energy gluttony or to tout his own conservation laurels.The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. And during a recent committee hearing on efficiency standards legislation, he gave the committee -- rather than himself -- credit.
"I would just mention that we are, this committee, is setting a standard -- in one sense of that phrase -- by having all these LED lights," Bingaman said during the March hearing. "We're the first committee in the Congress to have totally redone our committee room to use LED lighting."
The move exemplifies Bingaman's approach to legislating -- he shies away from the spotlight in favor of quietly and determinedly getting things done.
Bingaman, the son of a college professor and public school teacher, was elected to the Senate in 1982 after a four-year stint as New Mexico's attorney general, knocking off incumbent Republican Sen. Harrison Schmitt, a former astronaut. And during the nearly 30 years since then, he has become one of the most respected senators in the chamber by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
But Bingaman's time in the Senate is coming to an end -- he plans to retire at the end of 2012. And this quiet man's departure may,Philips LED business is inside of Philips lighting so it Led light is more difficult to determine whether they are meeting expectations. in a dramatic way, change the way the Senate goes about its business.
Bingaman's fair and practical approach has helped usher countless bipartisan bills through the murky political waters of the Senate. And his tenure as top Democrat on the energy panel has been marked by its bipartisan passage of three broad energy bills in as many Congresses.The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs
The tough political climate in the current Congress may prevent him from pushing through a fourth all-encompassing energy bill, but it won't be for lack of trying.
"I think we've had pretty good success, in fact, in the Senate both in 2005 and in 2007. I was very proud those bills wound up passing the Senate with a large vote," Bingaman said during a recent interview in his old LED-lit hideaway office in the Capitol -- he moved into a new cloister just a few days ago. "I would hope if we're able to get a bill up and considered by the full Senate that we could have that same kind of bipartisan cooperation this year."
While Bingaman brings his own unique approach to leadership, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee has long been known for its bipartisanship. The panel's former top Republican, Pete Domenici, a fellow New Mexican, was also instrumental in pushing the 2005 and 2007 energy bills forward before his retirement from the Senate in 2008.
And Bingaman remembers those times fondly, listing Domenici among the most cooperative Republicans he has worked with during his five terms as a senator. Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and the committee's current ranking Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska also got the nod.
"If we're successful in getting these bills out of committee -- and we have been successful to some significant extent already -- then she deserves much of the credit for that because she's worked with us at every step," Bingaman said of Murkowski,I transferred files over FTP, downloaded Web pages ds マジコン using curl, and ran the speed tester at speedtest.net. ever the one to share the credit.
So far this year, the committee has cleared a number of energy measures dealing with efficiency, carbon capture and storage and water power, among others, as Bingaman has carefully unpacked the 2009 committee-passed energy bill.Light up the architecturally table lamps interesting parts of your home.

After the Civil War, big things were expected of Broadway on the Upper West Side. But exactly what things no one quite knew, and most owners held their properties off the market. Thomas W. Evans was one of these, purchasing the entire block from Broadway to West End, from 89th to 90th, in 1873. Dr. Evans, a dentist practicing in Paris, had become rich while tending to the teeth of Emperor Napoleon III.
Dr. Evans died in 1897, and his estate did not sell the land until after the subway came up Broadway in 1904, with a stop at 91st Street. The Evans block was unusual in that it had not been divided into lots, and in 1909 the investor Robert Emmet Dowling paid $1.25 million for it.
Because of the recent construction of the full-block Apthorp, at 79th, and the Belnord, at 86th, it seemed possible that the Evans block, too, would be the site of a giant courtyard building. But most apartment buildings were built for resale, and the buyers for a single massive structure were necessarily limited. So Dowling sold his property in five pieces, two of the corners to George F. Johnson Jr. and Leopold Kahn,The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs who had already built large apartment houses.
The New York Times predicted Johnson and Kahn would put up “two of the most magnificent apartment houses on the West Side,” and in 1911 they completed the Admaston, at 251 West 89th, and its fraternal twin, the Evanston, diagonally opposite, at 610 West End.
George and Edward Blum designed both, using their trademark Secession-like styling, with hypnotic lacy runs of terra cotta, beige tapestry brick with deep-struck joints, and extensive and inventive use of iron ornament.
The Admaston had no cornice but did have a continuous iron balcony one floor below the roof. The Evanston had a typical projecting cornice, since removed,I pitted the modems head-to-head in 4G mode across 12 different マジコン 購入 locations throughout New York City, and once in 3G mode in the lower and a striking, owl-face iron fence around the ground floor, and trapezoidal projecting balconies, still there. The buildings were joined by two other apartment houses, at 89th and West End and at the middle of the block on 89th, and a theater on 90th and Broadway, restricted to four stories in height for the following decade.
A writer for The Times in 1911 regretted Dowling’s decision to divvy up his land, made, he said, at the expense of “working out a harmonious appearance for the entire block.”
The Admaston has stores on Broadway. Perhaps to make up for this indignity, it has one of those sprawling West Side lobbies, easily the equivalent of a three-bedroom apartment. The five- to eight-room apartments there rented early on for $100 to $200 a month. The Evanston had much fancier apartments, including duplexes of up to 10 rooms. One was advertised in The Times for $375 a month.
Census returns for 1920 for the Evanston show mostly clothing and dry goods executives, but there was also a musical contingent, including Julius Witmark, one of the founders of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, known as Ascap, and George Maxwell, its president.
In 1923 Maxwell was accused in a bizarre case in which scores of anonymous letters mailed to prominent New Yorkers alleged, in what The Times called the “most vulgar and common terms,” intimate relations between Maxwell and various married women. These letters were usually sent to the husbands. Maxwell was indicted, but the case was later dropped. He remained head of Ascap.

Six Channel LED Driver From Supertex Provides Robust Fault Protection for LED Strings
Six Channel LED Driver From Supertex Provides Robust Fault Protection for LED Strings
Supertex, Inc. /quotes/zigman/78541/quotes/nls/supx SUPX +4.19% , a recognized leader in high voltage analog and mixed signal integrated circuits (ICs), today introduced HV9957, a six channel LED driver that provides strong protection from faulty LED strings with patent-pending technology. HV9957 combines a switch-mode boost converter and six low dropout, linear current regulators to deliver high efficiency and precise current control in an LED driver.
The IC can drive up to six strings of LEDs at 30mA each, which is well-suited for battery-powered LED backlighting applications. Temperature-triggered fault protection combined with an 'outlier' approach to indentify faulty strings overcomes problems inherent with ordinary fault protection. Faulty strings are turned off only when absolutely necessary. HV9957 provides protection from fault conditions such as over- and under-voltage supply, over-current, and over-temperature. When a fault is detected, the affected LED string is removed from feedback and the rest of the strings continue normal operation.Light up the architecturally table lamps interesting parts of your home.
"By providing superior fault protection, HV9957 offers manufacturers a precise LED driver that can handle difficult fault conditions in individual LED strings," states Stephen Lin, Vice President of Marketing for Supertex. "HV9957 also features sophisticated digital circuitry to provide frequency control, fault protection, and phased dimming that is controllable to very low duty cycles for high dynamic range in today's LED backlighting drivers.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs."
HV9957 is available in a 24-lead QFN package (HV9957K7-G). The part is RoHS compliant.I tested the U600 alongside the 250U, our previous R4ds Editors' Choice. On a clear spring day, Samples are available now. Lead-time for production quantities is 4-6 weeks ARO. Pricing is US$1.43 each for the HV9957K7-G in 1K quantities.Under efforts of led spotlight boosting the viability of LED luminaires, many companies are expanding high-power selections.

Tesco Lotus and Unilever Thai Holding are jointly working on a pilot project to encourage greater use of environmentally friendly products in the Thai market.
Saofang Ekkalukrujee, senior corporate affairs manager of Tesco Lotus, said the partnership was among the local activities to help its UK-based parent Tesco Group halve carbon emissions by 2020 from the baseline in 2006.

Facilities such as a good stereo sound system, climate control and a coffee mug holder are just some things to make driving life easier and much more fun. Recently, Tesco hired the University of Manchester to conduct a survey on green product consumption in the UK and found three barriers among customers: higher expenses, a lack of information and a perception that an individual cannot make difference.
Therefore, Tesco Lotus has joined with Unilever Thai Trading, a leading consumer goods supplier, to encourage more green consumption and environmentally friendly product trading.
Initially, the hypermarket chain will launch the "Preventing Global Warming and Let's Go Green" campaign with its partners including policymakers such as the Energy Ministry and vendors like Unilever to make green products more affordable and readily available in communities.This is also known as your return on investment ledbright or ROI. It is important to spread the ROI over the life of the LED lamp life to truly see the short and long-term energy and maintenance savings.
"More Thai customers are concerned about green products.The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting, We saw this trend from a higher number of customers who came to redeem green points after purchasing more than 300 green products at our stores," Ms Saofang said.It pays to go to professionals with bestlight a proven track record in LED lighting, a vast selection of excellent quality products from various vendors that live up to their label, and a history of successfully completed projects.

June 27--In the mid-1990s, before low-wattage light bulbs were in vogue,These are also used as art light as well, it is because crystal these lights did not emit any harmful rays and the bluish color of LED lights makes a painting look very different from others and makes them attractive for the viewers. the V.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces.I. Environmental Resource Station on St. John installed 30 energy-saving florescent bulbs it had bought through the V.I. Energy Office's rebate program.
The last of them burned out in the fall, but the partnership between the two organizations and their shared commitment to reducing the territory's dependence on fossil fuels remains.
Representatives from both groups recently met at the nonprofit to learn about its newest solar panel project, a 9.5-kilowatt photovoltaic system funded by a $50,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant through the V.I. Energy Office.
The education-focused eco-camp, owned by the University of the Virgin Islands and managed by Clean Islands International, sits in the heart of V.I. National Park land. Hundreds of schoolchildren, locals and tourists who visit or stay at the camp every year can see energy-saving technology in action, including solar hot-water heaters, which also were funded by the Energy Office in the 1990s, and a 1.8-kilowatt solar electric system installed in 2003.
The new and larger solar electric system,The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. manager Jamie Irving said, should reduce the station's energy bill by at least 30 percent, and the investment should pay for itself within five to seven years.
"We provide a really good example of what can be done on a small scale but still have a really large effect," Irving said.
The station already has a "solar classroom," which is an educational display that explains how the panels turn sunshine into electricity.The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting, The newest system will improve the educational experience of the stations' visitors, as each panel's energy-production work is being tracked on a website,These were some reasons why people are keen to use these lights, hope that they will be used brightstal in a similar way in future as well. Irving said.
Energy Office Director Karl Knight said the solar panel project is one of 19 being funded at nonprofits across the territory through federal stimulus funds his office received. The project fits into Gov. John deJongh Jr.'s goal of reducing the territory's dependence on fossil fuels by 60 percent by the year 2025, , Knight said.

June 27--In the mid-1990s, before low-wattage light bulbs were in vogue,These are also used as art light as well, it is because crystal these lights did not emit any harmful rays and the bluish color of LED lights makes a painting look very different from others and makes them attractive for the viewers. the V.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces.I. Environmental Resource Station on St. John installed 30 energy-saving florescent bulbs it had bought through the V.I. Energy Office's rebate program.
The last of them burned out in the fall, but the partnership between the two organizations and their shared commitment to reducing the territory's dependence on fossil fuels remains.
Representatives from both groups recently met at the nonprofit to learn about its newest solar panel project, a 9.5-kilowatt photovoltaic system funded by a $50,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant through the V.I. Energy Office.
The education-focused eco-camp, owned by the University of the Virgin Islands and managed by Clean Islands International, sits in the heart of V.I. National Park land. Hundreds of schoolchildren, locals and tourists who visit or stay at the camp every year can see energy-saving technology in action, including solar hot-water heaters, which also were funded by the Energy Office in the 1990s, and a 1.8-kilowatt solar electric system installed in 2003.
The new and larger solar electric system,The best way to justify the cost and savings and to brightcrystal truly see how the transition to LED will impact your business is to do a detailed energy audit of existing conditions and compare them to the energy savings and maintenance costs found on the post-LED retrofit report. manager Jamie Irving said, should reduce the station's energy bill by at least 30 percent, and the investment should pay for itself within five to seven years.
"We provide a really good example of what can be done on a small scale but still have a really large effect," Irving said.
The station already has a "solar classroom," which is an educational display that explains how the panels turn sunshine into electricity.The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting, The newest system will improve the educational experience of the stations' visitors, as each panel's energy-production work is being tracked on a website,These were some reasons why people are keen to use these lights, hope that they will be used brightstal in a similar way in future as well. Irving said.
Energy Office Director Karl Knight said the solar panel project is one of 19 being funded at nonprofits across the territory through federal stimulus funds his office received. The project fits into Gov. John deJongh Jr.'s goal of reducing the territory's dependence on fossil fuels by 60 percent by the year 2025, , Knight said.
"The sun is abundant, the sun is plentiful," he said. "We might as well use it for something that's essential: power production."
DuPont Young Professor award for Toronto chemist
DuPont Young Professor award for Toronto chemist
Professor Dwight Seferos of the University of Toronto chemistry department is among seventeen researchers to receive a 2011 DuPont Young Professor award. Seferos’ team focuses on potential uses of conjugated polymers in low-cost electronic devices.
Conjugation is a way of making a polymer electrically conductive,An other advantage of using bluecrystal these bulbs is that they can also work in very cold weather which various other lights are unable to do. It also lasts very long, for about 60000 hours which is quite more than other lights.This is also known as your return on investment ledbright or ROI. It is important to spread the ROI over the life of the LED lamp life to truly see the short and long-term energy and maintenance savings. enabling it to be used for light absorption or emission, or as a semiconductor element.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces. Current research is looking at how these polymers can replace silicon semiconductors for solar cells. The advantages are that conductive polymers cost less to manufacture than their silicon counterparts and are less harmful to the environment, say the team.
The cost of solar energy devices could be decreased significantly, making it a more attractive energy saving option for property owners. Also, the plastic element is about 1,000 times thinner than the silicon wafer. “Right away there is a smaller material requirement, ultimately producing less waste,” said Seferos.
Conjugated polymers look and act like paint,Although police doesn't like it very much but one thing is certain, that your car will certainly stand out from the rest lightonsale vehicles on the road You don't have to make something "hardcore". according to Seferos, who added: “The trick is in making the paint do what you want it to.” Seferos and his students face the challenges of making the conjugated polymers more conductive, and stabilising them in aggressive environments.
Seferos said people have been working with conductive polymer technology since the 1970s. “But now we know so much more,” he commented.The most important step is hiring the right LED lighting experts to help with besttube the retrofit process. “We have better materials, better chemistry and better ideas of the physical processes involved. With the current energy crisis, there is so much interest in solar – a carbon neutral source of energy – it’s now or never.”
“The DuPont Young Professor programme is a way to identify talented researchers and promising science early in a new professor’s career,” said Douglas Muzyka, DuPont’s senior vice-president and chief science and technology officer. “These grants encourage highly original research of value to DuPont while helping the young professors begin their academic research careers.”
The DuPont awards are unrestricted grants of Can$75,000 (￡47,600) in three annual installments of Can$25,000 (￡15,900).
“We are free to do academic research in an area of general interest to the company,” Seferos said. This also provides him with the opportunity to train graduate students and develop their research into a graduate thesis or dissertation.

SFASD Sees $500,000 in Energy Savings
SFASD Sees $500,000 in Energy Savings
Spring-Ford Area School District's Director of Planning, Operations and Facilities Bruce Cooper gave a presentation on energy savings at Monday night's school board meeting. The project was initiated two years ago, but saw its highest savings in the second year at $500,000.
"You've got to make this short so we can conserve the lights," said board president Joseph Ciresi to some laughter.This is also known as your return on investment ledbright or ROI. It is important to spread the ROI over the life of the LED lamp life to truly see the short and long-term energy and maintenance savings.
Cooper said the first year was minimal at $100,000 and the second year is when the district really saw vast improvements. In comparison with energy savings, Cooper said the $500,000 converts to a total of about 1.3 million kilowatt hours.
The energy savings plan consisted mostly of tactics that would conserve electricity in the district; however, there were also major efforts in obtaining savings in gas, water, sewer and service contracts.You want someone that has the experience in LED lighting to guide you to the right product shinebright that is best suited to your project.
According to Cooper, the first year yielded efforts in temperature control in both the winter and summer months. Energy was also saved by adjusting mercury vapor in the lights in the gyms and cafeteria. The original lights burned all day, while the new plan allowed for the lights to go out over a timeline. The cafeteria staff unplugged unused equipment in the summer to conserve electricity, as well.
The cafeteria staff wasn't the only group that figured out a way to save. The technology department was also made aware of the project and was made more conscious of the benefits of turning off computers, televisions and projectors at the end of the day.
Cooper pointed out that students and staff can now see that every other light is turned off in the halls and classrooms and lights get turned off manually by staffers in classrooms that are vacant.
Auto sensors were placed in the bathroom faucets and the school participated in the "Smart Idea" program, which reimbursed it for replacing certain lights and other sources of energy.
In the second year, the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) team was revamped by the district and a specialist was brought in. By doing this, the district was able to do more work on the inside with the manpower it already had. Along with that,The particular demise with the incandescent bulb bluebright continues calmly yet non-stop and in less as compared to any year or two today the sole goods stocked in stores is going to be lower electricity bulbs, carbon dioxide sensors were brought in to monitor the classrooms and cool or heat them only for the amount of students occupying them, while recycling the air consistently.
Cooper and his team also found a way to make sure that areas not in use would go into an "unoccupied mode" and air would not be heated/cooled in those areas. Along with that, the system was changed over to a digital one so that individual equipment could be controlled. Before, if one piece of equipment needed to be turned off, the whole wing of the school needed to be shut down. Now, that is no longer an issue.
Finally, the lighting was changed to "staged" lighting at all athletic facilities and there were savings made by switching to a third party electric supply.
"This was only possible with a team effort,These lights are adopted by the various security lightbright agencies as these are the best lights to use with a security camera or a security device." Cooper said. "The board, departments, directors and staff have all worked hard to ensure these programs stay in place.These are also used as art light as well, it is because crystal these lights did not emit any harmful rays and the bluish color of LED lights makes a painting look very different from others and makes them attractive for the viewers."

Funding for street lights approved
Funding for street lights approved
Upgrades to occur as part of United States 40 Project
When the United States 40 project comes to fruition, the City of Brazil will have new street lighting as well.
On Monday,The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced $2,845,550 in federal funds had been awarded to three communities. Brazil was approved for $726,600 in Transportation Enhancement funding for the street lighting.
"I'm thrilled we were awarded the funding to upgrade the street lighting," Brazil City Planning Administrator Stacy Gibbens said. "The new lighting will not only be energy-efficient, but also will be designed to bring back some of the historical flair to the downtown area."
The city had initially applied for $717,000, but in reviewing the application with INDOT officials, it was suggested to request a little more to revamp the traffic lights as well.
"When we were in Indianapolis for the grading of our application, the suggestion was made to upgrade the traffic lights as well so the poles would match the light poles, Gibbens said. "We asked for an additional $12,000, which was the estimated additional cost, and ended up with slightly less than $10,000 more than our original request."
The project proposes that 71 existing lights, between Harrison and Depot streets, would be replaced along U.S. 40, and will include LED bulbs.
The total cost of the project is approximately $909,000,Although this article shows that Cree's led lighting and Philips LED product sales are not equal it is important to note that Philips LED sales of which the city has to contribute 20 percent. Gibbens told The Brazil Times plans are already in place to save up the funding for the match.
"With the additional funding for the traffic lights, we will have to readjust our figures slightly,The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. but we plan on dedicating about $60,I transferred files over FTP, downloaded Web pages ds マジコン using curl, and ran the speed tester at speedtest.net.000 out of the Cumulative Capital Development Fund this year, along with in 2012 and 2013 to account for our match," she said.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs.
According to an INDOT press release, the funding is anticipated to be released for use during the 2014 federal fiscal year, which runs from Oct. 1, 2013-Sept. 30, 2014. Gibbens said knowing this prior to submitting the application allowed the city to build in the ability to save the match.
"It is a good way to know a project will happen and rather than scrambling around to get a lump sum all at once for a match, it allows us to start putting away for it now," she said.
City Engineer Brian Pohlar told The Brazil Times the United States 40 project, as a whole, is still slated to happen in the 2014 fiscal year, and local officials are working with INDOT on the particulars.
"Right now, an interlocal agreement is being reviewed, which includes the financial responsibility of both INDOT and the city in creating the Pogues' Run Retention Pond," he said. "Other than that, not much is going on as far as the project goes, but construction is still supposed to start in 2014."
Other communities receiving funding in INDOT's Crawfordsville District were Lebanon ($809,117) for the Indianapolis Avenue project and Frankfort ($1,309,833) for the project on Maish Road, south of State Road 28. Both Lebanon and Frankfort were awarded out of Group III funding.

Son of former coach takes over Jaguars
Son of former coach takes over Jaguars
When David MacLean received an offer he simply couldn’t refuse, he jumped at the chance to become a part of the Blue Springs South High School coaching staff.
MacLean is the new Jaguars volleyball coach.Light up the architecturally table lamps interesting parts of your home.
While he is a new face at South, he is familiar with the school because his father Jerry was a former South volleyball coach, who was followed by Carmen Johnson (four years) and Deb Becker (who last season led the 18-10, 8-2 Jaguars to a share of the Suburban Big Six conference title).
“I’m very excited and feel blessed to be in this position,” said MacLean, whose Jaguars topped Lee’s Summit North 25-17, 25-20 in action Tuesday night at the Lee’s Summit North Summer Volleyball League.
“I also felt blessed to be at Raymore-Peculiar, where I coached the past two years. But this offer came along, and I took it for several reasons.
“First, it gives me the chance to teach at the high school level – I’ll be teaching algebra and geometry at the Freshman Center. Second, it came at the right time and from the right place.
“There are still people at South in the administration who were there when my dad coached at South. I was always impressed with Mr. (Mark) Bubalo, and he’s still the activities director, and I am looking forward to working with him.
“Amy Campbell will be one of my assistant coaches, and she was an assistant for my dad. Everything just seemed to fall into place, and I am looking forward to the start of the school year.”
When asked about Becker’s departure, Bubalo said, it was a personnel issue.
“We cannot comment on personnel issues,” Bubalo said. “We did not renew Coach Becker’s contract.”
He was, however, eager to discuss his new head coach.
“We are so fortunate to get a young man with a ton of knowledge and enthusiasm from a school within our conference,” Bubalo said. “He grew up around the game and around the South program when his dad was coaching here.
“I have talked to members of the Ray-Pec administration,The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. and I know they hate to see him go. But he is making a move that he believes is best for his family. We are so excited that David is joining our staff.”
MacLean graduated from Concordia University in Seward, Neb., and he and his wife Jacki have a 4-year-old daughter, Adalyn, who was with her father at the summer league game.
“We live in Greenwood, and we are thrilled that Adalyn will eventually be going to school in Blue Springs,” MacLean said. “That’s another reason this was a good time to make the move, before she starts school.”
MacLean knows there will be some fans and parents who question the coaching move, and he is ready to face all questions.
“I know there will be some doubters,” MacLean said, “because we were 10-16 (at Ray-Pec) last year. But we had the program heading in the right direction. I blame the person responsible for our schedule for our record.”
MacLean made that comment tongue-in-cheek, as he was the man responsible for the tough schedule.
“We played Lee’s Summit West and Blue Springs – two perennial powers – three times each. When we played outside of the Suburban Big Six (conference), we did all right.
“When I look at this Jaguars team, I see a lot of talent.The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs In fact, when people talk to me about the team, the first thing they always say is, ‘Wow! That team has a lot of talent.’ And I agree.I transferred files over FTP, downloaded Web pages ds マジコン using curl, and ran the speed tester at speedtest.net. But I want them to say we have a great team and a great program.
“And that’s what I am going to try to build at South. I’m in this for the long haul. I want to be a coach at South for a long, long time.
“I want to win conference, and I want to win a district championship. I want this team to be good and competitive for a long time. I’ve just been here a short period of time, but these girls are as dedicated as any group I’ve coached and that just makes me that much more excited.”
He’s not the only one who is excited.
Standout senior Carly Sojka, who served four consecutive aces against the Broncos and starred on the front row, has committed to play volleyball at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg.Although this article shows that Cree's led lighting and Philips LED product sales are not equal it is important to note that Philips LED sales
“To know that I am going to play volleyball at the next level is very exciting, and UCM has a very good program, so I’m looking forward to college,” Sojka said.

Hive Lighting Intros Light Emitting Plasma (LEP)
Hive Lighting Intros Light Emitting Plasma (LEP)
People have been trying to find ways to motivate photons, (with the minimum possible effort), more or less since the discovery of fire. This pursuit probably stalled a little with the incandescent filament, but it seems that even in domestic circumstances, people are now starting to recognize that a hot lump of metal in a vacuum is no way to build a light bulb.
It has traditionally been hard to beat gas discharge lighting (HMI, MSR) and fluorescent lights (Kino-Flo, etc) in terms of lumens per watt, especially if we want workable color rendering. Both types can achieve 80 to 90lm/W, with LEDs only slightly behind.I transferred files over FTP, downloaded Web pages ds マジコン using curl, and ran the speed tester at speedtest.net. A low-pressure sodium vapor street light can easily exceed 150lm/W,The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs but of course it’s bright, screaming orange and of scant use in photography. Also, two of the three efficient daylight emitters – LED and fluorescent – are not capable of producing a point source with real punch and throw.
Now, there’s new technology on the horizon – light emitting plasma, which is automatically great because it sounds like a system they’d use on the starship Enterprise. It’s also a pretty unspecific term, because the glowing gas in an HMI or Xenon is also plasma. Usually, though, LEP refers to an electrodeless design, where there is no metal penetrating the quartz envelope containing the plasma, and energy is applied as microwaves. Researchers claim up to 170lm/W of 5300K light with a CRI of 94.
Ok, you have my attention.
The Underlying Technology
There have been related technologies around for a while, mainly involving a glass sphere full of sulfur bombarded with radio waves until it emits light. Efficiency and color rendering are great, but it’s necessary to keep the sphere rotating to avoid hotspots that would cause failure, and it doesn’t work very well below a kilowatt or two. There’s now a slightly more practical design involving a tiny vitreous bubble half an inch long filled with the sort of things you’d find in any metal halide device. Significant advances have been made to make this happen, with some clever thinking involving solid ceramic waveguides to pipe the microwave radiation from the driver electronics into the emitter.Although this article shows that Cree's led lighting and Philips LED product sales are not equal it is important to note that Philips LED sales
Efficiency approaches twice that of an HMI, with color rendering as good or slightly better, depending on whether you prefer a smooth but lumpy spectral output (HMI) or a jagged but more evenly-distributed one (LEP). Color temperature is about 5300K, drifting to 6100K at 10,Light up the architecturally table lamps interesting parts of your home.000 hours, which as a life-determining factor is many times better than an HMI. It’s flicker free, because most LEP designs use microwave energy at around 900MHz, so it won’t be a problem until you’re shooting any significant fraction of nine hundred million frames per second – only it won’t, because the plasma won’t decay fast enough to pulsate between cycles anyway.
Most current LEP products are fresnels, but presumably, the small light emitting area would make focused beam devices feasible.
Non-Ionizing Radiation
There are two ways to create microwave energy: either with a cavity magnetron, a descendant of World War 2 radar technology that’s found in every microwave oven, or with solid state electronics. The solid state approach is more expensive, but by default a magnetron will produce output modulated with the mains frequency, causing flicker.
The other issue is the need to contain the radio energy.The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. Microwave energy is non-ionizing radiation and cannot give you cancer. However, it can certainly interfere with radio mics, video links, wireless ethernet, bluetooth and cellphones. Since microwave ovens have the same potential and generally don’t cause these problems, the art of shielding this sort of emission is clearly well established.
People have been trying to find ways to motivate photons, (with the minimum possible effort), more or less since the discovery of fire. This pursuit probably stalled a little with the incandescent filament, but it seems that even in domestic circumstances, people are now starting to recognize that a hot lump of metal in a vacuum is no way to build a light bulb.

A few good curves
A few good curves
THE Samsung Series 9 ultraportable notebook is both sexy and sturdy. It packs plenty of power too, writes NOOR KHAN.
THE Samsung Series 9 Notebook definitely catches the eye with its slim design and flowing curves.
Made with Duralumin material (the same material used for aircraft body), the notebook is ultra-portable and remains cool even after hours of continuous use. Its ultra slim body is enhanced further by having most of the connectors cleverly concealed underneath two flip covers on the sides.
Powered by the latest i5-2537M (1.40 GHz) processor, the computer handles routine computing tasks with ease. You get optimised power management for playing the latest 3-D games, editing and compressing large-size photos or HD video, or multi-tasking.
Watching videos on the notebook was also a pleasant experience with the SuperBright Plus LED display,These lights are adopted by the various security lightbright agencies as these are the best lights to use with a security camera or a security device. which delivers 16 million colours and 400-nit brightness. This is complemented with a set of speakers that provide decent volume and clear sound.
The notebook is furnished with a 128 GB Solid State Drive (SSD) instead of a normal hard disk. This provides fast boot up time and quick access to the stored data. But the storage size may not be sufficient for most users, who will need to get an external USB hard drive.
It comes with several connectivity options, including HDMI, MicroSD slot, microphone/speaker port, Bluetooth 3.0 and USB ports.The retrofit process itself can range from a simple count of existing lamps to a brightshine very detailed energy survey, which includes collecting information from your existing lighting, One of the two USB ports uses the latest USB 3.0 technology which provides faster data transfer rate than USB 2.0.
In trying to keep the notebook as slim and light as possible, several sacrifices had to be made. There is no DVD/CD drive on the notebook. Local Area Network (LAN) connection is achieved using an external connector plugged into the LAN output port, as the normal network cable connector would look out of place on the slim body. Similarly, the HDMI uses the mini port connector and would require a special connector to connect it to your home TV.
The auto-sensing LED backlit keyboard, which automatically lights up as the room gets dark,The particular demise with the incandescent bulb bluebright continues calmly yet non-stop and in less as compared to any year or two today the sole goods stocked in stores is going to be lower electricity bulbs, is great for users who need to work under low lighting conditions such as on board night flights.
The large multi-touch click pad meanwhile takes some getting used to. However, once mastered, using the click pad with gestures such as pinch, swipe and rotate, made text and graphic editing applications easy to use and manipulate.
The notebook is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) operating system which worked flawlessly on this notebook. The manufacturer claims a battery life of seven hours and this is achieved through the use of energy efficient CPU, a Solid State Drive and its advanced Lithium-Polymer battery.It pays to go to professionals with bestlight a proven track record in LED lighting, a vast selection of excellent quality products from various vendors that live up to their label, and a history of successfully completed projects.
With its stunning look and ultra-lightweight, the Samsung series 9 notebook is definitely something you will be proud to carry and show off.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces.
The latest technology that goes into the notebook makes it a fantastic tool. The only snag may be the price tag.
