Solar tech converts sunlight at record-breaking rate

5 hrs.

John Roach , NBC News

An out-of-the-lab solar-power system has successfully shown it can convert more than a third of the sun?s direct sunlight into electricity, a new record for a technology that focuses sunlight akin to the way school kids burn leaves and ants under magnifying glasses.

The record of 33.5 percent efficiency was announced Tuesday by Amonix, a manufacturer of concentrator photovoltaic ?(CPV)?solar power systems. The achievement was confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and breaks the previous record of 30.5 percent, also held by Amonix.

Other manufacturers of CPV systems have also achieved similarly high efficiencies. Semprius reported a slightly higher 33.9 percent efficiency in January, for example, ?but it was not verified by an accredited lab,? Sarah Kurtz, a scientist at NREL who supports the CPV industry, told NBC News.?

Likewise, the military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency reported an efficiency of 42.8 percent for lab-scale solar technology in 2007.

The breakthroughs in efficiency meet a long-held Department of Energy goal of ?achieving a third of the sun efficiency,? Kurtz noted.?

Amonix?s record is also ?quite a substantial boost? over other photovoltaic efficiencies of around 20 percent reported by traditional flat plate solar panel manufacturers such as SunPower, she noted.

?The difference means that if you have a square meter of area that you can mount a solar panel on, you will get more energy out of the Amonix or some other concentrator module compared with what you will get from a flat plate,? Kurtz said.

The technologies, however, are different. Solar concentrators use lenses and mirrors to focus direct sunlight on a small area, which allows manufacturers to use less silicon and other semiconductor materials to convert sunlight into electricity.?

This also allows manufacturers to use more expensive, yet more efficient, semiconductor materials than silicon, such as in Amonix?s multijunction cells, and remain economically competitive.

But concentrator technology requires direct sunlight. It doesn?t work well under cloudy skies????if you try to use a magnifying glass on a cloud day, you wouldn?t be able to burn a leaf because the light is coming from all different angles and so you can?t focus it all onto one spot,? Kurtz explained.

Traditional flat plate photovoltaic systems, by contrast, can still work with diffuse light.?

The difference means that concentrator technology works well in sun-splashed markets such as Phoenix, but flat plate panels may be a better choice for Seattleites.

Big picture, the advances in solar technology combined with falling costs are begging to make the technology economically attractive compared to traditional fossil fuels such as coal. The question, Kurtz said, is whether companies and individuals will pay an up-front premium for renewable energy.

?It?s like with compact fluorescent light bulbs you can demonstrate over the course of the lifetime of a bulb, it is cheaper to operate the compact fluorescent, but people are hesitant to spend the up-front cost, so there are barriers to adoption,? she said.

One way to help people to get over the barrier is tax incentives, which have become increasingly controversial.

?It will reduce our energy usage of the world in the long-term,? Kurtz said, ?but it does require people to take an intentional step upfront to invest.?

Do You Trick or Treat in Your Business? Because It's Probably ...

It?s that time of year again when witches and warlocks are supposed to be about and you may even be going to a Halloween Party.

?Trick or treating ? has become a common activity and it?s defined as ?a custom for children on Halloween when they proceed in costume from house to house, asking for treats with the question? ?trick or treat???.

When I was at a recent business networking event it struck me that many people treat networking as a sort of business ?trick or treat?.

What do I mean?

Well they proceed in costume ( business suit) from house to house ( networking event to networking event) asking for treats ( business ) but often without even asking the question??.

I?m sure you?ve come across this because it happens at every event I?ve ever been to!

But successful business is all about relationships. As you know people do business with people they know, like and trust and yet I still see people at networking events expecting to get business straight away without? taking the time or effort to develop that relationship.

Some say to me ? ? but I don?t have the time. It takes ages to develop that level of trust?. Well it depends whether or not you want the business!

It can take a lot of time ?but the whole process can be speeded up when you know the right communication tools and techniques to use.

There are many courses available, some of them very effective, that teach you networking skills? ? how to identify who to talk to, how to work the room, how to get that appointment, how to follow up and so on ? all essential if you are going to? develop your business . But they don?t actually teach you how to?connect.

It has been said that only 7% of the meaning of any communication is through the words that you say and this is what most networking courses focus on.

So how do you use the other 93% so that you develop that trust quickly and get the results that you want?

By developing your ability to communicate more effectively at an unconscious level ?through developing a deep level of rapport which will enable you to develop an instant connection with anyone that you meet in such a way that they think they have met you before. When you develop these communication skills all relationships benefit and networking becomes easier and much more enjoyable and no longer ? trick or treat?.

Rapport is often described as ? feeling comfortable with the other person? or being ?tuned in?, or ?on the same wavelength?.

And I?d like to set you a challenge to do some of what I love to do ? people watching.

In the next two weeks when you are out and about where people are in conversation notice what you notice.

Identify two people who are

(a)??? in rapport

(b)?? out of rapport

How do you know?? What tells you?

Because when you become more aware of how people prefer to communicate you are more able to develop the flexibility of communication which ?means you will become a master of communication because more meaningful relationships ?lead to better and more profitable business

Get Signals Of Trustworthy Accounting Firms From Their Accounting ...

Before engaging an accounting service for all your business wishes it might be shrewd to ask for accounting quotes which will summarise the firm?s commitment and devotion to you. Accounting price estimates not only contain the price quotation of the service. Also included are the kinds of services to be provided, the duration and the accountants who will be handling your account. It is also good to get 1 or 2 quotations from a few firms for you to better compare the services offered relative to the price requested.

Accounting is an integral part of any business. Large firms have their own internal accounting department that takes care of bookkeeping, payroll preparation, taxation, checking, superannuation, SMSF and the periodic reporting. But for smaller organizations, outsourcing their business accounting needs turns out to be more cost-efficient. It is possible to get the best accounting services at competitive prices, when you want it.

To get the most out of your cash and to ensure that you get the very finest accountant or bookkeeper, hire the company that can provide complete services and show professionalism in their accounting quotes.

Whatever the set up of your business, you?d still need the services of outsourced accountants. To ensure the validity and integrity of accounting reports, audit reviews, tax returns and tax assessments and BAS returns, reviews if not the actual reporting are done by third party auditors. The security of sensitive company information should additionally be your utmost consideration in choosing a firm of accountants. The service provider may be able to give you a guarantee that info on family trusts, tax returns and tax repayments are safe with them.

A reliable accounting firm will be able to present to you a total, detailed and topical accounting quote, patterned to your needs. Watch out for firms who include unrelated services, vague pricing and incomplete business quotations. Remember, accounting quotes are their formal declaration of commitment to you.

Research center gives Louisiana a D for overall health and fitness ...

A new report card from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center assessing the level of physical activity and sedentary behaviors in Louisiana's youth and teenagers has given the state an overall grade of D. The grade reflects the conclusion that children are not engaged in an adequate amount of physical opportunities because there is an insufficient amount of programs or other physical prospects available to them.

Fitness Expo John L. Ory Communication Arts Magnet School students Madison Garrett 14, and Kayla Perilloux, 14, scream together as they roll down a hill during a Physical Fitness Expo Friday, March 13, 2009 at Regala Park in Reserve. Students had to earn tickets for positive behavior over a nine week period to participate in the expo. More than 280 students enjoyed playing flag football, softball, and sack races. (Photo by BRETT DUKE/THE TIMES-PICAYUNE)

The study says a child's "built environment" is a primary feature in facilitating good health habits and behaviors. Human-made features, such as parks, sidewalks, community centers, neighborhood conditions, supportive neighborhoods and children's safety in those neighborhoods play key roles in developing behaviors that promote healthy lifestyles.

Louisiana ranks below the national average in all of those categories, the report concludes.

Only 24 percent of students in grades 9 through 12 met the standard federal physical activity recommendation, which comprises of 60 minutes of physical activity every day, including 20 minutes of vigorous physical activity as well as 3 days a week of muscle and bone strengthening activities.

According to the report, males are overwhelmingly more active than females. 35 percent of males meet the federal guidelines while less than 14 percent of their female counterparts meet those same criteria.

Peter Katzmarzyk, the associate executive director at the research center said Louisiana's grade has remained unchanged in the five years since they began putting out the report card.

"But these things take a lot of time to turn around. Like the prevalence of obesity in kids, these are not things that you can fix overnight. It took a couple of generations to get where we are today. These are long term goals to improve health," he said.

The Research Advisory Committee, which assigned the grades, gave the state an even lower grade for neighborhood characteristics, such as safety and access to recreation areas. The grade, a D minus, concludes that almost half of the state's students, 40 percent, spend more than the recommended screen time limits watching TV and a third, 34 percent, exceed screen time limits for video and computer games.

The report cites a 2005 study that concluded children growing up in unsafe neighborhoods spend approximately 20 more minutes a day watching TV than when compared with children who live in safe locations.

Louisiana scored lowest when it came to overweight and obese children. 41 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 19 were considered obese or overweight.

"We are ranked in the top 10 obese states for both children and adults. Those are the facts," Katzmaryzk said.

The state was also given a D minus for overal fruit and vegetable consumption, saying less than 12 percent of students get an adequate amount of fruit and vegetables daily.?

One of the most important lessons to take away from the report card is that physical activity declines throughout adolescence. Younger kids are more physically active than middle and high school students, who are in turn more active than adults, Katzmarzyk said.?

"That's where we need to maintain the focus so we don't get that drop," he said.

He said he supports a statewide effort to encourage increase in physical activity, such as policies that requires physical education or active living. One simple solution would be to put in sidewalks so that children can walk to school, he said.

"Using policies and health policies are a very viable avenue to address this problem," he said. "They can improve the health of the entire state."?

LG records a 'solid' $138.57 million net profit for Q3, keeps the positive trend going

LG Electronics has reported its earnings for Q3 2012, notching its third straight quarter of positive income with a net profit of 157 billion won ($138.57 million) and "solid" performances from its home theater and mobile businesses. Revenue is down from the same period last year, but seeing as it's actually making money this time around it's probably still reason to celebrate. On the mobile side of the aisle it reports an operating profit of $19.42 million with slightly higher sales than Q2, mostly thanks to those LTE smartphones it's been rolling out. Its home entertainment biz noted a rise in LCD sales, with 3D TVs and LED-lit models growing from last quarter in most markets. We're digging through the numbers now, check out more details in the press release after the break or detailed breakdowns in the PDF linked below.

    Obama?s Real Record On Israel

    Wormwood and ashes; that?s what it must be for Barack Obama to run for re-election under false pretenses. Barack Obama, friend of fracking! Apologize for America? No way! Where?s my lapel flag pin? Israel? I?m her greatest supporter!

    Obama has come a long way from the days when he ?palled around,? as Sarah Palin put it, with Rashid Khalidi, delivering a tribute so explosive that it must never see the light of day. But what does Obama really think about Israel and her enemies? Actions speak louder than words. Anne Bayefsky of Eye on the U.N. went to the trouble of tabulating the real Obama record on Israel. And, no, it isn?t just that he wouldn?t meet with Netanyahu:

    President Obama has never visited Israel during his time in office, despite having been as close as thirty minutes away in Egypt, and managing to go to Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iraq.

    President Obama told Jewish leaders in July 2009 that he was deliberately adopting a policy of putting daylight between America and Israel.

    President Obama has legitimized the UN body most responsible for demonizing Israel as the world?s worst human rights violator. The president joined the UN Human Rights Council in 2009 and is now seeking a second 3-year term, despite Israel?s requests that he do the opposite.

    President Obama made Israeli settlements the key stumbling block in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Starting in 2009 he chose to castigate Israel publicly, often, and in extreme terms at the General Assembly and the Security Council. The Palestinians took the president?s cue and ended direct negotiations until such time as Israel capitulates, even though the subject is supposed to be a final status issue.

    President Obama treated Israel?s Prime Minister to a series of insulting snubs during his visit to the White House in March 2010.

    President Obama cut a deal with Islamic states at a May 2010 meeting of parties to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, contrary to assurances given to Israel. He agreed to help convene a 2012 international conference intended to pivot attention towards disarming Israel and is currently negotiating the details of this diplomatic onslaught.

    President Obama introduced in his September 2010 address to the General Assembly, a September 2011 timeline for full Palestinian statehood and membership in the UN, thus encouraging Palestinians to push the same unilateral move.

    President Obama suggested in May 2011 that Israel use the 1967 borders as a starting point for negotiations ? knowing full well that Israel considers those borders to be indefensible, and that agreements require the border issue to be determined by the parties themselves.

    President Obama created a ?global counter-terrorism forum? in September 2011 and invited eleven Muslim states to join ? on the grounds that they were ?on the front lines in the struggle against terrorism.? At the insistence of Turkey, he then denied entry to Israel.

    President Obama told French President Nicolas Sarkozy in November 2011 ? when he thought he was off-mike ? that he regretted having to deal with Israel?s Prime Minister.

    President Obama asked Congress in February 2012 to waive a ban on American funding of UNESCO. The ban had been imposed following UNESCO?s recognition of Palestinian statehood and was consistent with U.S. law denying funding for any international organization that recognized Palestinian statehood in the absence of a peace agreement with Israel.

    President Obama has indeed put daylight between American and Israeli policy on Iran. In August, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dempsey said: ?our clocks are ticking at different paces? and he wouldn?t be ?complicit? in an Israeli effort to destroy Iran?s nuclear facilities.

    In September Secretary Clinton explained this divergence. In her words, the Iranian threat is ?existential? only for Israel; only Israel is ?right in the bull?s eye.? President Obama?s ?pro-Israel? policy, therefore, is to wait past the point that the intended victim of the planned genocide believes is safe.

    President Obama denied Prime Minister Netanyahu?s request to meet with him in September, despite the Iranian peril.

    President Obama?s UN ambassador, Susan Rice, didn?t even attend the Israeli Prime Minister?s speech to the UN General Assembly in September ? during which he made a plea for global attention to the Iranian threat.

    And on Monday night, at the final debate, Governor Romney answered the question he was asked about what poses the greatest threat to our national security with ?a nuclear Iran,? while President Obama responded ?terrorist networks.?

    Iran is the world?s leading state sponsor of terrorism. An Iranian nuclear weapon will result in a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region of the world. And it will make the chance of nuclear weapons ending up in the hands of terrorists all the more likely.

    So that?s Obama?s record so far. It is frightening to contemplate what he might feel free to do in a second term, when he has more flexibility.

    Solid Advice On Bankruptcy And Your Finances | Siben & Siben ...

    TIP! Look for a bankruptcy lawyer that comes from a personal recommendation instead of someone random on the Internet or in the yellow pages. Bankruptcy attracts a lot of fly-by-night firms that take advantage of desperate people, and a word-of-mouth recommendation makes it more likely that your bankruptcy will go smoothly.

    Bankruptcy is a huge financial decision and should not be lightly considered. If you take a few moments to check out the different tips and tactics listed in the text below, you can begin to realize how to navigate your way through the tough mine field that is bankruptcy. Learn as much as you can beforehand.

    TIP! Do not do any asset transferring for the 12 months prior to filing bankruptcy. This is a blatant attempt to hide assets and may result in your filing from being dismissed.

    Check your debt to find out if it will clear the bankruptcy and avoid unnecessary filing. There are some types of debt (e.g., student loans, child support) that are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. For that kind of debt, attempt going to a loan consolidation service or credit repair agency.

    TIP! Create a list of all of your finances before filing for bankruptcy. If you forget information you run the risk of having your petition delayed, or possibly even dismissed.

    Don?t let your lawyer take care of everything. Lawyers may know the ins and outs of the laws, but you are your own best advocate. It might feel nice to leave everything to your attorney in the short run, but doing so could have long-term financial consequences.

    TIP! Make sure you monitor the activities of your lawyer while your bankruptcy case is pending. You should know what is happening and be unafraid to just ask.

    Don?t avoid telling your lawyer specific details with your case. Many times a lawyer may forget a key detail; therefore, it is important to remind your lawyer of any key information. Speak up. This is your life, and your future depends on it.

    TIP! Do your research before hiring a bankruptcy attorney. There are a large number of less than credible bankruptcy lawyers out there.

    Take a look at all of your financial options before filing for personal bankruptcy. Credit counseling may work for you. There are a lot of organizations that are non-profits and can assist you. These companies work with creditors to reduce your payments and interest. You?ll make your payments to the company, and the company will pay off your creditors.

    TIP! Consider all options before filing for bankruptcy. Instead of rushing into bankruptcy, a good idea is too speak with an attorney who may be able to get your interest rates reduced or help get you on a debt repayment program.

    Be sure you know what you?re doing before you begin. You may think it?s possible to file for personal bankruptcy on your own if you cannot afford to hire a lawyer. If you do, you need to thoroughly educate yourself on the matter. A lot of people make mistakes and do not secure a discharge properly. To avoid this unhappy eventuality, be sure to do everything just right.

    TIP! Before you decide to file a bankruptcy claim, you need to first come to realization that it?s time to start living a more financially responsible life. Don?t use credit cards to acquire more dent right before filing.

    Do not abandon hope. Filing for bankruptcy may allow you to get back property, such as an auto, jewelry, or electronics, that you may have had repossessed. If the property you own has been repossessed under 90 days before the bankruptcy filing, you may still be able to get it back. A lawyer will be able to assist you with filing the paperwork to get the items back.

    TIP! Several months after discharge, get copies of credit reports from the big credit reporting agencies. Be sure these reports are accurate and correct in regards to all of your closed accounts.

    Just because you have filed for bankruptcy will not necessarily mean you are going to have to give up everything you own. You get to keep your personal property. This may be things like jewelry, clothing, furniture and electronics. You will need to talk to a bankruptcy attorney to find out whether your local laws and personal situation will allow you to keep your car or home.

    TIP! An experienced bankruptcy attorney can guide you through the process successfully. There is a long list of personal bankruptcy attorney for you to choose from.

    Bankruptcy is not a something that simply happens, as this article has proven to you. There is a long list of items you need to do, and make sure they are done correctly. The tips you have read here were designed to give you an advantage when filing. By using them, you can sure that you?re doing everything by the book and that you won?t be caught by surprise.

    Chef chat with O.J. Moore of YaYa's Euro Bistro | Wichita Eagle

    O.J. Moore knows his meat.

    Moore, who took over last summer as the executive chef at YaYa?s Euro Bistro, even minored in meat sciences while attending Kansas State University. He describes a 200-seat refrigerated classroom, where students would study whole sides of beef, learn all about marbling and even practice making hot dogs and sausages.

    His meat know-how is being noticed at Ya Ya?s, where Moore recently has introduced an updated and upgraded menu. It features steaks marinated for at least four days, top-quality lamb from Colorado and sauce bases that have been slow-simmered in an $800 stock pot with a $400 spigot.

    Moore, who grew up in Wichita and graduated from Kapaun Mount Carmel in 1996, earned a degree from K-State in hotel and restaurant management. While in college, he cooked at several well-known Manhattan restaurants, including the Little Apple Brewing Co. and the Manhattan Country Club. During his second semester, he was lured by a classmate to a spring break cooking job at the Vail ski resort in Vail, Colo. When he graduated, he moved to Vail, where he continued a 15-year career at the resort, working in nearly 30 different restaurants and managing several of them.

    Last year, he returned to Wichita to be closer to his family, including his parents, who still live in Wichita. He took a job opening the El Dorado Chop House, but once it started to change culinary direction, he left that restaurant. In July, Ty Issa hired him to get the kitchen at YaYa?s, which had been without an executive chef for almost half a year, back under control.

    Earlier this week, Moore sat down to talk about the influence his grandparents? farm had on his career, the changes he?s making at YaYa?s and his passion for protein.

    How did you first become interested in food?

    ?I think it was growing up helping on my grandparents? farm. My grandmother always cooked from scratch, and the kitchen was the gathering place in the farmhouse. That?s where we had all our celebrations, which always involved food.?

    Besides your restaurant, where do you like to eat out in Wichita?

    ?I haven?t eaten out much in Wichita. I?ve always cooked at home. It?s my way to relax. So I?ve been cooking more at home for friends and family. But on a day off, I like to eat at Saigon downtown, and Thai House on West Street is really good, too.?

    How were you trained as a chef?

    ?I?ve learned a lot working in kitchens. While I was in Vail, I was really able to work with a lot of chefs, and I also taught culinary classes for the Colorado Mountain College. I?ve worked for probably 30 restaurants in the past 15 years, In Vail, I managed two to three restaurants at the same time.?

    What?s your most indispensible kitchen tool?

    ?I?ve got a 100-quart stock pot that has a spigot at the bottom. That?s where we make all of our veal demis, pork jus, lamb jus? The spigot on the bottom allows us to not disturb the bones and gives us a real clear stock, not a cloudy one.?

    What?s your most indispensible kitchen ingredient?

    ?It would have to be a good olive oil. We make a blend out of 75 percent soy bean oil and 25 percent olive oil. That?s what we use for a lot of our marinades and salad dressings, and it coats the grill. Without that oil, it would be a whole different cuisine.?

    What do you cook when you?re at home?

    ?I like to barbecue and grill. It usually involves entertaining family or friends for an event or someone?s birthday. I really like to grill wild game. I like to be able to serve people venison or elk who say, ?I don?t like wild game? and change their minds.?

    What?s your favorite food?

    ?I generally lean toward sushi. A lot of chefs do.?

    Are there any foods you don?t like?

    ?I don?t like artificial foods or stuff that?s really enhanced with preservatives. My dad wanted to take me out for my birthday recently and I said, ?Any place that makes food from scratch.? I just want food someone cooked, not something where they opened a bag and dumped it in.?

    What?s the best thing about the dining scene in Wichita?

    ?I think that what I?ve seen the most improvement in is the amount of and diversity of other chefs around town. More competition is good. It just raises the bar for everyone.?

    What?s the worst thing?

    ?Maybe just how everyone is in such a rush to eat, whether they?re going to a movie or rushing to get the kids. I like people to spend time with coursed-out meals, really enjoying each course and pairing them with wines.?

    What?s your philosophy about your job?

    ?I don?t like being second-best. As far as food goes, in a restaurant it?s hard to do, but I like slow foods. That?s why the steak marinates for four days and the veal demis take four days to make.?
