Students weigh in on improving city

Students weigh in on improving city
Eighth-graders in City Pod at Longfellow Middle School in La Crosse recently wrote essays that attempt to answer the question: "What would make La Crosse a better place?"

Here are some of their efforts:

Cora Slade:

La Crosse, being a city of about 52,000 people, could be improved in many ways. If we want a better today and a healthier tomorrow, we need to improve everyday things and clean up our city. The most substantial, though, would be improving our environment. La Crosse is not overly polluted, but to think that it couldn't be enhanced by further efforts to clean it would be ignorant.

Unlike the smog that cloaks some cities, La Crosse would definitely be considered cleaner than most. One immense problem, though, is the murky, russet rivers that curve throughout the city and the amount of filth that is being tossed into them. Some people throw garbage into the river with no understanding of what they are doing to our environment. Whether it's the La Crosse or Mississippi River, both of them merge and go all the way down to the Gulf, bringing pollutants into their ecosystem. This further contaminates the natural order of things. One way we could stop this from happening would be to make sure people, adults and children alike, know the consequences. Last year, a bill was passed that insured if anyone littered a large item like furniture, an appliance, a car, or boat, they would have to pay a fine of at least $1,000 on a first offense. It is around $500 for cigarettes, wrappers, or water bottles, which is a large sum for something that could have easily been thrown away. If more people in Wisconsin knew about this, we would surely have a much healthier community.

Another thing we could do to embellish our surroundings would be to make everyday things less harmful.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. All around the world, cities have to use transportation on a daily basis, so what if we switched out our buses that we have now for hybrid ones? There are numerous possibilities that would make our carbon footprint, or the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere by a person,While using compact fluorescent light bulbs energy saving light helps conserve energy, it is important that the bulbs are collected and recycled properly to protect our environment less and make our city flourish with a newfound well-being. On any given day a city bus can produce around two kilograms of carbon dioxide per liter of diesel fuel. Buses all over the country are emitting tons of carbon dioxide because of the colossal number of people who need a ride. Hybrid buses can reduce carbon dioxide emissions up to 85 percent per bus. That is a considerable amount compared to having a full tank producing 100 percent carbon dioxide. Cities have roads, buses, cars, and,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. of course, stop lights. What if we could make every traffic light in the city of La Crosse solar powered? Traffic lights that use solar power would be self-sufficient, meaning that they would need no outside source in order to work, only solar power from the Sun. They would last for about 20-25 years, they are brighter, and they save money that would otherwise be used for electricity.

La Crosse should contemplate sending some city employees or people who have to do community service to clean up the various beaches and communities around the city. Simple things like quality, non-trashed beaches could make a massive difference in the amount of tourism we get and the possibility of an improved economy. If our beaches had less litter left strewn about in the sand and water, more people may want to visit. The city, however, should be cleaned up regularly, so the efforts on the river and beaches don't go to waste. Downtown, especially after big events like Oktoberfest and St. Patrick's Day, is really cluttered with cans and wrappers. If we placed more garbage cans around the city around that time, we could prevent a lot of it from making it to waterways and into the Mississippi.

La Crosse could be enormously changed for the better with these small, yet significant, actions to make our environment, economy, and the community more refined. Let's create a better today and a healthier tomorrow by cleaning up the city of La Crosse!

Jessica Jaye Miller:

There are many ideas and projects that could greatly improve the quality of life in La Crosse. However, I've thought of an important concept to be altered during winter and if changed, could make traveling much easier for the citizens of La Crosse. Something that would improve La Crosse is if the city worked harder on plowing every street. I understand that plowing the streets requires a workforce to do it and funds to keep the plows from breaking down. However, I also know that when La Crosse receives money, there could always be a portion kept to hire and pay workers. This would also go to gas for the plows and anything needed to keep them running. After all, the snow plows are perhaps one of the most important vehicles needed in winter.

Up from the patent mine, Rambus sees the light

Up from the patent mine, Rambus sees the light

NEW YORK – Rambus Inc., a company best known for its memory technology IPs and an army of in-house lawyers to protect them, this week came to Lightfair in Philadelphia to pitch the company’s patented lighting solutions, branded as Pentelic.

“Rambus in lighting” isn’t exactly a phrase well known in the electronics industry – at least, not yet. But given the rapid evolution of the lighting industry today, Rambus, already armed with a 10-year licensing deal with GE on advanced LED-based lighting products, is seeing a big opportunity.


System-level IPs for lighting

John Langevin, director strategic development responsible of lighting at Rambus, explained to EE Times: “Many of us are familiar with IPs associated with LEDs themselves, surrounding materials or high brightness features of LEDs -- often developed by LED technology companies like Cree.

“What we are doing in lighting is to take advantage of such LED technology advancements and bring system-level IPs, especially in optics space, for LED-based lighting.”

Rambus’ expansion in to the lighting IP business has been enabled by acquisitions of a couple of innovative lighting technology firms and their inventors.

In late 2009, Rambus got advanced lighting and optoelectronics technologies from Global Lighting Technologies (GLT; Chung-Li, Taiwan).The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs Rambus also hired Jeff Parker, the inventor of GCT’s technologies, and his team, now working at Rambus’ lighting and display technology center in Brecksville,The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. Ohio. Parker is now senior vice president
in the lighting technology unit at Rambus.

Earlier this year, Rambus fattened its lighting portfolio further by acquiring patents and technology from privately held Imagine Designs Inc. (Campbell, Calif.) The patented innovations include technology for general lighting, LCD backlighting, and micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) displays, according to Rambus. Through the transaction,In the case of Cree a significant led light bulbs amount of their LED sales come from the purchase of Cotco whose primary focus was on moving message panels used in displays/electronic bill boards. 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. Imagine Designs’ founder and principal inventor Brian Richardson also joined Rambus as a technical director in the lighting and display technology business.

Under a new investment model practiced in its acquisitions, Rambus buys intellectual property from small companies, then works with the inventors to develop the technologies in an effort to leverage the competitive landscape.


Lumens per square foot watt

Newly designed lighting fixtures enabled by Rambus’ Pentelic portfolio are equipped with edge-lit, high-efficiency features. In a departure from the lighting industry’s conventional “obsession with lumens per watt,” Pentelic offers lighting designers a flexibility to control “ray angle” and “lumens per square foot watt,” explained Rambus’ Langevin. “With Pentelic solutions, we can efficiently direct and apply the maximum amount of light to precisely where it is desired.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”

Included in the Pentelic lighting solutions’ technology portfolio are: LED-to-light guide coupling technology, delivering 93 percent to 96 percent of total LED output to the light guide (TrueEdge technology); technology enabling custom light distribution patterns (MicroLens optics); optics producing a highly collimated, highly efficient light output that delivers precise ray angle control (VirtuOptic); and compact reflectors capable of producing tightly controlled efficient and high-beams ideal for spotlights (SolidCore). The first two technologies original come from Jeff Parker’s GCT; the last two technologies are developed by Brian Richardson, when he was with Imagine Designs.

Rambus will be licensing these technologies to lighting designers and supply chains that manufacture Rambus-qualified LED products.

Langevin stressed that technologies used in the Pentelic lighting solutions are “not new; they are based on proven technologies.” He said, “You can apply them toward lighting today, in high volume.”

Lancers, Spartans Light Up Scoreboard Versus Lupus

Lancers, Spartans Light Up Scoreboard Versus Lupus
On an evening when battling a lesser known disease, lupus, was the theme, cross-town girls’ softball opponents West Springfield and Lee high schools brought their bats out and gave the large group of supportive fans a hitting showcase in an exciting, never dull, 13-12 contest that was won by the home team Lancers. The Patriot District game took place Tuesday evening, May 3 at Lee High School in the heart of Springfield.

“That was absolutely the cherry on top,” said Lancers’ head coach Suzy Willemssen, thrilled with her young team’s triumph that capped a special Lupus Awareness Night benefit in which those in attendance gave more than $400 to the Lupus Foundation of America, an organization that helps fight the disease that affects 80,000 individuals, mostly women, throughout the local metropolitan area.

The guest of honor during pre-game ceremonies which put the spotlight on fighting lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation which can damage major organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain and skin, into the forefront of spectators’ minds on the evening was former Lee High girls’ soccer coach Janice Wolfe-Easley, a Fairfax County teacher of 33 years who most recently, before going on medical disability in October 2009, served as an adaptive physical education teacher, for special need students. Wolfe-Easley, diagnosed in May 2009, was on hand to mingle, educate and enjoy the ball game, being played in her honor, along with everyone else in attendance. She even threw out the first pitch, an underhand, softball-style strike to Lancer catcher Manal Assad,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. much to the pleasure of the fans.

“Aside from tonight’s fundraiser, awareness is what’s so important,” said Wolfe-Easley, who later in the same day in which she was diagnosed with lupus gained permission from her doctor to participate in a benefit walk event for the fight against breast cancer.

But in recent years, Wolfe-Easley, the former Lancers’ head girls’ soccer coach, who led the Lee team to the state crown in 1985, has been unable to be nearly as physically active as she once was as a result of her illness.

“So many don’t know what lupus is. I didn’t until two years ago,” said Wolfe-Easley, who, during her 11-year head-coaching career, also coached and led the W.T. Woodson High girls’ soccer team to a state finals appearance.

Joan Tadlock, who coached Lee High softball the past few years and is currently an assistant coach for the Lancers, was thrilled to have Wolfe-Easley on-hand. The two originally got to know one another in their work as adaptive P.E. teachers. The popular and loved Tadlock, an advocate for both her special education students as well as for causes such as lupus and breast cancer, set up the benefit night in honor of Wolfe-Easley, her good friend. She was the emcee of the pre-game awareness night program and introduced Wolfe-Easley, along with the guest’s husband and sister, to the crowd.

Also introduced was Lori Barb, the Lee High director of student activities, and Lee junior softball player Alissa Fetterholf, who spear-headed the effort to design and wear special home style softball T-shirts, designed with a whirlwind color scheme of purple, the color that symbolizes the hope and determination to one day conquer the debilitating lupus disease, and white. Players themselves wrote their handwritten names and numbers on back of the special, one-day uniform tops.

THE LEE HIGH TEAM, throughout the high-scoring game, played with the enthusiasm and energy befitting of the night’s special meaning. The visiting Spartans did the same, creating a game, which, while far from being mistake-free, was entertaining and played with passion.

With the game tied at 10-10, Lee, which at one time had led West Springfield, 10-3, came up with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 13-10 lead. Jess Harmon led off the inning with an infield single and ultimately came around to score the go-ahead run. Later that inning, a key two-run single into center field off the bat of senior Sarah Wilber plated two more runs to give the Lancers a three-run advantage.

West Springfield, though, kept the game exciting by scoring two runs in the top of the sixth inning. Alissa Dwyer started the rally with an infield base hit and later scored on a groundout RBI by teammate Carisa Chaplin to make the score 13-11. Later in the inning, Hannah Tomey singled and ultimately scored from third on a wild pitch to get the Spartans within 13-12.

West Springfield pitcher Marissa Johnson, who pitched the entire game for the Spartans and got better and better as the contest went on, held Lee scoreless in the bottom of the sixth.

That set up West Springfield’s final at-bats.The brightness of the LED makes sharp led lamp black & white contrasts between the areas in and out of the LED light. With one out, Calli Douglas, the potential tying run, earned a walk and stole both second and third base. But Lee pitcher Ashley Robinson, who entered the game in the fourth inning after Lancer starting pitcher Amanda Layton had gone the first three innings, buckled down, coaxing an infield pop-up for the second out and a groundball out to end the ball game. Lancer second baseman Beth Clay made all three put-outs — two groundball outs, one pop-up catch — in that final inning, including a scorching groundball pick-up and throw-out on a ball hit off the bat of Lindsey Kellogg to begin the inning.

Following the final out, the Lee players celebrated on the field, hugging one another and jumping up and down excitedly. It was the Lancers’ sixth win of the season to 10 losses.

“They never quit, and they fought back,” said Willemssen, the Lee coach, of her team’s mindset during both the game and season. “They know they have to play as a team. On this team everyone has an impact, instead of having that one stud pitcher with everyone standing back.While using compact fluorescent light bulbs energy saving light helps conserve energy, it is important that the bulbs are collected and recycled properly to protect our environment Everyone on this team counts.”

Robinson, who pitched the final four innings for Lee, earned the win on the mound.

Lee, defensively, came up with some sparkling plays throughout the game. Robinson, who played center field over the first three innings, made a stellar first inning catch, swiftly moving to her left, on a ball hit by Johnson. In the third inning, the Lancers’ cut down a run at the plate when third baseman Natalie Heinitz, with Spartan runners on second and third, fielded a groundball and quickly threw home to catcher Assad, who applied the tag of a sliding runner. Then, on a ball hit into left field by the next batter, Lancer outfielder Fetterholf came up with a difficult, reaching catch. Late in the game, Harmon, who had been inserted in left field, caught a sizzling liner off the bat of Chandler Cole.

ACDC Lighting Appoints Epicor to Put Growth in the Spotlight

ACDC Lighting Appoints Epicor to Put Growth in the Spotlight
Epicor Selected to Streamline Operations and Focus Staff on Higher Value Tasks

Epicor Software Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies,The brightness of the LED makes sharp led lamp black & white contrasts between the areas in and out of the LED light. today announced that ACDC Lighting, the global manufacturer and distributor of LED and cold cathode architectural lighting, has selected the Epicor's next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution as the company undergoes a complete review of its systems and business processes.

With a turnover of ￡11m (GBP) and 100 staff at its Lancashire-based site, ACDC Lighting has seen significant growth year-over-year of 40-50% for three years running—it now distributes products to over 50 territories. Over the next two years it has ambitious aims to reach a turnover of ￡20m (GBP) for which it expects to employ between 120-150 staff.

"Our continued growth plans for the future mean that we need to unify and integrate the systems that underpin our business," said Ian Clark, financial director at ACDC Lighting. "We started as a relatively small company with 20 staff and didn't have a need for an ERP system, but the time has come to get the systems in place that will help, rather than hinder, our expansion. Our transaction sizes and volumes continue to grow and we have more staff then ever before—our current systems and processes are starting to creek under that weight."

The Epicor deployment will replace all systems within the organisation, including a number of commercial products for specific business functions, databases and scores of spreadsheets. By doing this, ACDC Lighting believes it is giving staff the tools needed to focus on higher value tasks that make them more motivated and effective, and deliver improved service to customers.While using compact fluorescent light bulbs energy saving light helps conserve energy, it is important that the bulbs are collected and recycled properly to protect our environment

"Our current systems are very labour intensive; staff can spend a lot of time moving between different spreadsheets, which is frustrating for them and makes the business less agile," added Clark."They have a huge amount of experience that is wasted on fighting with cumbersome processes to produce reports, or tasks that we know can be automated. For example, we want people in our procurement department to be focused on extracting the best from our supplier partnerships, not chasing paperwork."

ACDC Lighting will be re-engineering its business processes as part of the Epicor implementation to get the perfect balance between software controlled automation and the best practice processes for the business. One of the greatest benefits the management team expects to see is the ability to properly understand the business at all levels, with timely reporting and dashboards that will enable them to react quickly to changes in order books, the supply chain, or manufacturing complications.

Twenty ERP solutions were reviewed before Epicor was selected. The management team was particularly impressed with Epicor's Microsoft? Office integration, customer relationship management (CRM) and remote salesforce features, intuitive interface and Configurators. The company has a core set of 50 products, but last year produced over 2,500 variants on them.

"The Epicor Configurators will allow our sales teams to easily specify the customisations on our core products to give customers accurate quotes. These customised orders will then seamlessly move through Epicor to manufacturing, distribution and finance, saving huge amounts of time and unnecessary complexity," concluded Clark.

"As companies move into the next stage of their growth, finding an ERP solution that balances the needs of the business now,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. and in the future, without being too complex can be a real challenge," said Craig Stephens, director, product marketing for Epicor. "Solutions that are too complex can bring an organisation to its knees either through technical issues, or users simply not being able to get to grips with them. We've worked very hard at Epicor to ensure our products put the power of the solution into the hands of customer, so it can be customised to reflect their changing needs, and users can work with an interface that is familiar and intuitive."

Grasshopper owner Troy Ramroop describes his piece of property near the corner of Nine Mile and Woodward in Ferndale in a simple, matter-of-fact way, but the former Gracie’s Underground also offers DJs, dancing and low-priced drink prices.Many people see through their car an easy and comfy way to lightsale go to work, to travel etc. We are talking about transportation and nothing more. 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.

Open since September, Grasshopper is now just “finally in the swing of things,” says Ramroop who plans to add a 15-foot patio to the front of the bar this spring.

Gracie’s dark, basement-like vibe is still present, but the 28-year-old metro Detroiter has done his best to brighten up the window-less space with LED lights on the ceilings, candle holders throughout the venue and flat screen TVs on the walls. A handful of suede couches are spread throughout the diminutive space which has an area for dancing (DJs will focus on house music).

The watering hole will provide Michigan beers and wines in addition to a full bar. Beers will average $3, mixed drinks will be between $5 and $6, and Miller Highlife will always be $2. A kitchen is expected to be completed in about three weeks, says Ramroop who worked as a bartender for 11 years before becoming the proprietor of Grasshopper, a name which holds special meaning to him.

“Whenever I have a bad day and I start questioning what I’m doing…I always see a grasshopper somewhere and it lets me know things will be alright.”

Groove Lounge
You may have noticed a few changes at the massive orange building near Franklin and Northwestern Highway over the last few months. The venue, formerly known as Pi, transformed from an eatery to a sports bar in September before becoming a lounge on March 2.

“We wanted to change to a sports bar,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. and it didn’t work,” says General Manager Rebecca Duncan.

The target clientele for Groove Lounge is the over 30 crowd, and “it’s kind of like the place you go if you don’t feel comfortable going to Pontiac. You can come here and dance,” Duncan says.

Wednesday nights feature jazz and blues, and on Thursdays, you can catch the smooth R&B sounds of the Hidden Agenda band.

Two walls were removed to open up the 5,000 square-foot space, which now has a dedicated dance floor. There is a wood fire pizza kitchen and a lounge menu with appetizers like calamari, steak tips, chicken wings and tapas ranging from $5 to $18.

Skybar and Lounge
Some revitalization is taking place at the art deco skyscraper at the corner of Griswold and State in Detroit. The David Stott building was purchased by Florida-based company Luke Investments 10 months ago and is morphing into an upscale nightlife escape to cater to the business set.

“I fell in love with the building,The most important step is hiring the right LED lighting experts to help with besttube the retrofit process.” says Operations Manager Mike Carney, who estimates that the first of the building’s occupants, Skybar, will be open sometime in May.

Skybar and Lounge occupies the basement and first floors of the 38-story building. It boosts 20-foot ceilings on the main floor, a marble bar top and different Moroccan light fixtures hanging over the orange-lit bar. The two floors total about 4,500 square feet.

“I don’t want the club atmosphere,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.” says Carney, who does not run any other bars or clubs in the area. “My target audience is the financial district – business professionals.”

While construction of the bar was completed over the last 10 months, Carney is waiting for the liquor license to be approved by the state before Skybar can open.

From the wines to the martinis to the tapas, “everything is going to be upscale,” says General Manager Frank Mourtos. “We’re concentrating on the upscale crowd with the discriminating palate.”

The lounge will have live music ranging from jazz to salsa, drinks will be between $5 and $10 and tapas will be between $7 and $13.

Other plans for the 82-year-old building include private clubs on the top three floors.

Home stores to switch on to energy saving light bulbs

Home stores to switch on to energy saving light bulbs
The law is all set to start light bulbs of 100 watt from next year, and is expected to take this to new energy-saving bulbs of 40 watt, by the end of 2014.
All these bulbs will consume 25 to 30 percent less energy, says the report.
Jorge Fernandez, Home Depot's senior merchant for LED product development said, "You will have options that are like the incandescent in terms of look and feel. And they will pay for themselves over time."

Conventional light bulbs are gradually being taken over by new energy-efficient options such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), halogens and most importantly spiral compact fluorescents (CFLs).
Though these new versions are more costly and may require special discarding than century-old incandescent bulbs,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.The pole-less range starts with inflatable tent the two-person Velocity 200 and goes up to the Infinity 800 for eight people. these contain very small amount of poisonous mercury.
Moreover, CFL bulbs can also be recycled at stores like Home Depot, Lowe's and Orchard Supply Hardware.
According to Mike Brown, a buyer for Orchard Supply Hardware, these CFLs, LEDs and halogens are efficient enough to produce the same standard amount of light,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. by using less energy. Being long-lasting, these are great money-savers too.
"It's kind of like putting money into a CD. It's takes money up front but you do get more in the end," he added.

Among all these, LED bulb is the most energy efficient,"The current economic environment is putting great pet supply stores strain on veterinarians who are well established in this community," though it is less powerful than CFL in producing the same amount of light, when it comes to 100 watt general light bulbs.
"LEDs are everywhere. They're on Christmas lights to flashlights to car headlights to light bulbs, and the reason they're there is because they last even longer than compact fluorescents," added Fernandez.
The newly released Energy Star-rated GE Energy Smart 9-watt LED bulb, with an exclusive omni directional light output, is the newest and coolest addition to the long queue.
It can be availed at Lowe's for under $35, and can replace a conventional 40 watt bulb.
Philips has recently launched its new 12-watt Ambient LED Soft White light bulb, with longevity of at least 20 years.

These tiny lights are used in a wide variety of everyday applications, such as automotive taillights, televisions, cell phones and flashlights. But they are also very popular at raves and concerts where they pose a serious health risk and should be banned from these events.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.

Raves are loosely controlled late-night parties featuring dancing, DJ’s playing electronic dance music and huge staged productions of flashing LED lights.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. Also, many people attend raves under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs.

Combining these drugs with staring at LED lights is part of the popularity of raves. There are often hundreds of lights emitting from the stage and people who attend these events normally bring personal LED light toys or gloves studded with LED lights.

But the images and feelings a person on drugs experiences when looking at the multi-colored lights moving rapidly in front of their eyes is what makes the lights dangerous. The combination of drugs and visual stimulation can increase your heart rate and can lead to seizures or heart attacks in susceptible people.

Recognizing the risk to public health, the Food and Drug Administration has banned many types of LED lights and toys from entering the United States and they are looking at banning many more types of LED light shows and other displays that use these types of lights.

Outside of trying to control the amount of drugs that get through security at these events, some rave organizers are trying to do their part by banning personal LED lights at the events. A sign reading, “No LED lights or light toys” is now commonly seen at the entrance to professionally organized and monitored rave parties.

Insomniac, a popular rave production company that recently banned personal use of LED lights at their events, said in a statement,"The current economic environment is putting great pet supply stores strain on veterinarians who are well established in this community," “Our intentions are to keep the dance music scene healthy and respectable so we can continue to produce unique and memorable experiences…For the time being, we ask that you please leave the light shows to us…”

But even professionally staged lights at raves are an emergency waiting to happen and should be banned because participants often stare at the lights, both personal and staged ones, while in a stationary position,The pole-less range starts with inflatable tent the two-person Velocity 200 and goes up to the Infinity 800 for eight people. like sitting or lying down.

Insomniac is trying to reduce those health risks with designated staff called the “Get Up and Dance Crew.” Their job it is to patrol the audience and encourage participants not to sit or lie down on the dance floor while they are admiring the lights.

Only time will tell the outcomes of those efforts but, in order to reduce the number of drug-related emergencies at raves, all LED lights should be banned.

New LED Light Bulb To Replace CFLs?

New LED Light Bulb To Replace CFLs?
The iJDMTOY Lighting company recently unveiled a new 6-watt LED light. The bulb, called the JDM LED Light, was unveiled at the Lightfair International event in New York this week. The event brings lighting designers from all over the world to unveil new designs of various lighting aspects.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. The bulb, according to the founder of the company Warner Philips, could replace current incandescent and CFL light bulbs.

The company states that the bulb is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent lamps.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. The bulb is able to be used with dimmer switches, which is not the case with most CFL. In addition, the bulbs do not contain any mercury, which is a concern with CFL.

Stated Mr. Philips: "CFLs are officially an outdated technology.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.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. You can't recycle CFLs. You can't get a fully dimmable product. That should make them obsolete." In addition, the light is touted to last 25 years, which is eight times longer than CFLs. The life expectancy of the bulb is approximately 36,000 hours.

The company is already selling a 5-watt, equivalent to a 40-watt, for approximately $35. The company is expected to sell the new 6-watt bulb for approximately $50 on Amazon.com. The higher price is said to be paid back in terms of the long lifespan of the bulb.

Warner Philips believes the cost of the bulbs will decrease rather quickly, just as their 5-watt bulb has.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. The 5-watt bulb is currently being sponsored by the Clinton Climate Initiative in Europe and 2.5 million of the bulbs will be distributed. Six months ago the cost of the 5-watt was $40, now the price is $35.

There are some concerns with the JDM LED bulbs, such as the bulbs lasting 25 percent less time when used in enclosed fixtures. Also, the bulb is said to be equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb, however, such a light bulb has a light output of 900 lumens. The advertised level of these bulbs is only about 300 lumens.

Whether or not the JDM LED Lights are the light bulbs of the future remain to be seen. However, the benefits of eliminating mercury and the ability to recycle the bulbs are definite aspects in the product's favor.

Don't brush off the obvious tweaks made to the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan as simply a mid-life makeover -- the German automaker has made some significant changes to its popular mid-sized sedan.

The fact Mercedes has spent much of this month ferrying auto journalists to this sun-drenched island 300 kilometers off the west coast of Morocco underscores its desire to spread the word this C-Class is different.

Aside from freshening the face and butt with current design tricks, there are new, more powerful and efficient engines under the hoods of several models, there's a new,Many people see through their car an easy and comfy way to lightsale go to work, to travel etc. We are talking about transportation and nothing more. 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. more efficient seven-speed automatic transmission and the interior has been made over to create a more refined look and feel.

Inside, the luxurious cabin features soft leather surfaces and rich wood trim, such as burl walnut or dark ash, creating the feeling this car should be running with higher-priced models. If you're not partial to wood, aluminum accents are available, while the AMG gets carbon fiber trim in keeping with its high-performance flavor. The trio of round gauges centered cleanly in front of the driver includes a new color center display screen, while the center stack gets a new look with revised air vents and aluminum control buttons.

The seats wrap around you, keeping your body firmly planted when the route gets interesting, which is the case here. Twisty two-lane roads, often shrinking to a single lane with sharp hairpin turns seemingly around every protruding lava rock face not only tested the seating but gave the suspension a workout as well. The C-Class responded with handling that prompted a smile on my face -- you won't mistake this Benz for a full-blown sport sedan, but it certainly proves itself respectable when pressing it on these challenging roads.

The current pop-up navigation screen has been replaced with a new NTG 4.5 Telematics Generation unit, integrated into the dash,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. featuring a larger screen and improved graphics. The base unit has a 5.8-inch color display plus CD/USB/auxiliary input interface and Bluetooth connectivity. (Input ports for the USB and auxiliary input are now located in the center console.) The available full navigation system displays on a seven-inch color screen that has provisions for DVD audio/video and an SD card slot. An optional media interface system that displays the cover art of the tunes you're playing can be ordered without having to spring for the nav system.

Other technologies, previously reserved for higher-end Mercedes models, are now being shared with the C-Class as options, including a driver assist package with passive blind spot and lane-keeping assist systems. A parking guidance system is also available.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. An attention assist system is standard on all models.

The new C-Class sedan will be offered in Canada in six variations, starting with the C250 rear-wheel-drive model and ramping up to the impressive C63 AMG sport sedan. The C250 will also be available with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system; there's also a C300 and C350, both with all-wheel drive. The C350 will also be available in a rear-wheel-drive configuration, but the rear-drive C300 has been dropped for 2012. All of these new models are slated for sale in July. Sadly, the C-Class wagon models shown here won't be offered in Canada -- and that's a pity.

Although they share the same model designation, the C250 gets different engines, depending on its drive format. The rear-drive C250 gets a new direct-injection turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder, replacing the current V6, while the 4Matic version retains the 228-horsepower 3.0L V6. The new four, dubbed the M271, generates 201 hp at 5,500 rpm and 229 pound-feet of torque starting at just 2,300 rpm.Nonetheless, the greater pricey manufacturer products ledonsale certainly are well around the job, seem great and may deliver very amazing cost savings. It's coupled to a seven-speed automatic.

Exterior changes readily noticeable include an all-new front end with new active bi-xenon headlights and bright LED turn indicators. And you can add the 2012 C-Class to the growing list of cars adopting those cool LED bulbs for daytime running lights. The sedan also gets a redesigned front fascia and a new aluminum hood to reduce weight. The tail lights are also trendy LED lights and there's a new rear fascia with an integrated diffuser. A selection of new alloy wheel offerings cap the exterior revisions and range from the seven-twin-spoke 16-inch rims standard on the C250 up to the slick 19-inch multi-spoke gems available on the C63 AMG.

Britney Spears Aren't The First To Sport Light-Up Fashion

Britney Spears Aren't The First To Sport Light-Up Fashion

These days, it seems like everyone has jumped on the LED-couture bandwagon.He wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Frideswide Square at Oxford R4ds station working well this morning with no traffic lights. Long may it continue!" It's not just pop stars who are glowing in their clothes; it's also rockers and MCs who have decided that it's all the rage to light up the stage.

When Death Cab for Cutie shot their live, one-take video for "You Are a Tourist," they became the latest to sport light-up clothes.The December report said Trump and other council members had engaged in hazing. Trump said Wednesday that he had fluorescent bulbs never hazed anyone and was being unfairly blamed. Their suits in the fanciful clip were accessorized with glowing lights where their pocket squares should be.

Kanye West wore a little light-up heart pin at the 2008 VMAs when he debuted his very personal track for "Love Lockdown." Chris Brown let his heart glow in his "Crawl" video back in 2009, and then he once again strung up his clothes like a Christmas tree when he appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" at the end of last month.


The Black Eyed Peas dazzled at the Super Bowl as they embraced the "Tron" trend and let their clothes shine bright.

The ladies have all become glow worms as well. At the 2010 MTV Movie Awards,"I don't care about the cost or saving money - it's just the fact that led spotlight someone's telling me I can't buy something I've used all my life," said Susan Drake, 66, of Belpre. Christina Aguilera hit the stage and let her lady part shine when she performed her sexy track "Woohoo.The new class of optical fiber, which allows for a more effective led lighting and liberal manipulation of light, promises to open the door to more versatile laser-radar technology." Britney Spears recently let another part of herself shine (her chest this time!) when she took the stage in Las Vegas last month to perform her latest single "Till The World Ends."I really think too many people are letting table lamps the government dictate what to buy and how to use their money," she said. "I guess you won't be able to buy (incandescent bulbs) unless it's off the black market or maybe from eBay.""

And leave it to Katy Perry to attend one of the most prestigious events of the year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in 2010, and make it all her own. She hit the carpet in a hot-pink dress complete with — you guessed it! — lights sewn into it. She's a firework, that one!

Why China is the next frontier

Counting down to Strategies in Light China: Why China is the next frontier

Over the past few years, China has undergone dramatic growth as both a supplier of LEDs and LED-based products, as well as a market for these products, and this will be a theme for discussion at Strategies in Light China.
With Strategies in Light events already being held in the US, Europe and Japan, there are many compelling reasons for expanding the event to China. The first Strategies in Light China conference will be held in Hong Kong on May 10-12, 2011, and its theme is “East Meets West: Expanding the Global Market for LEDs and SSL.”
Over the past few years, China has undergone dramatic growth as both a supplier of LEDs and LED-based products,"I really think too many people are letting table lamps the government dictate what to buy and how to use their money," she said. "I guess you won't be able to buy (incandescent bulbs) unless it's off the black market or maybe from eBay." as well as a market for these products. The government is highly supportive of the LED supply industry, and in addition is implementing a variety of policies on the demand side to promote energy efficiency, including solid-state lighting (SSL).

Local governments in China are also subsidizing the purchase of MOCVD reactors,"I have learned a lot of valuable lessons cfl bulbs in my short time in office and it is unfortunate that I am effectively receiving the blame now for other people's conduct over the past several years, when this has been ignored," Trump said. thus attracting a variety of new players to the domestic LED industry, as well as a host of foreign LED companies (mainly from Taiwan and Korea) who are establishing joint ventures and seeking to benefit from the subsidies. This activity may or may not lead to overcapacity in the LED industry,Such technology could be applied to led light bulbs the development of improved surgical and medical lasers, better countermeasure lasers used by the military, depending on whether or not reactor installations actually take place, and over what time period.

Regardless of how the supply-side stimulus of the LED industry in China plays out, it is clear that the Chinese LED and SSL industries are coming into prominence on the world stage. All the major non-Chinese LED component suppliers have significant sales activities in China, including, in some cases, LED packaging operations.

Also, a large number of Chinese companies are using imported high-performance LEDs to manufacture lighting products for the export market, either under their own brands or on an OEM basis for foreign lighting companies. Finally, both domestic and foreign companies are producing LED lighting products for the growing domestic market. Therefore, it is clear that both Chinese-based and foreign companies have increasingly interdependent relationships in the rapidly evolving worldwide market for SSL.

Several speakers at Strategies in Light China will address LED industry and market developments in China. Jack Zhang, CEO of Gaogong LED Institute, will discuss the various government LED incentive programs in China and their impact on the worldwide markets and the competitive landscape. Piet Derks, Senior Director and General Manager, Lighting R&D China, Philips Lighting, will discuss the challenges for the Chinese lighting industry to successfully introduce LED lighting in outdoor applications, especially for roadway lighting.

SOL, Inc. Introduces New 20/20(TM) LED Lighting System

SOL, Inc. proudly introduces its new, revolutionary 20/20? Solar LED Lighting System. The 20/20 is a complete LED lighting system that leads the outdoor lighting industry in terms of performance, aesthetics, economics and sustainability. With its distinctive form and engineered optical performance, 20/20 is the solar light system from SOL, Inc.Such technology could be applied to led light bulbs the development of improved surgical and medical lasers, better countermeasure lasers used by the military, that directs light most efficiently for the best lighting. The 20/20 Light increases pole spacing and lighting uniformity, simplifying installation with the world's first solar pole for maximum return on investment and a reduced cost of ownership. Through extensive market research, modern industrial and sustainable design and customer insight, SOL incorporates 20 years of experience to bring 20/20 to market.

The luminaire, light engine, PV assembly and pole of the commercial-grade 20/20 Light are designed from the ground up to exceed the demands of modern solar light performance and durability. 20/20's extended battery reserve powers through poor weather conditions and SOL's FivePlus? System Warranty allows for many years of reliable peace-of-mind lighting.

Designed for parking lots, perimeter security, bike paths, walkways, streets and roadways, the 20/20 Light can be deployed virtually anywhere to provide light every night.Existing optical-fiber technology is マジコンds inefficient at transmitting infrared light. However, the zinc selenide optical fibers that Badding's team developed are able to transmit the longer wavelengths of infrared light. "Exploiting these wavelengths is exciting because it represents a step toward making fibers that can serve as infrared lasers," Badding explained.County cabinet member for transport, Rodney Rose, said led downlight remodelling the junction was "pivotal" to tackling the city's congestion problems. 20/20 meets the challenging demands of today's environmental design by contributing no CO2 with minimized light trespass through its precision optics."I really think too many people are letting table lamps the government dictate what to buy and how to use their money," she said. "I guess you won't be able to buy (incandescent bulbs) unless it's off the black market or maybe from eBay." The 20/20 Light also offers enhanced autonomy through an intelligent controller that allows dimming or programmed run times.

"For many years, outdoor solar lighting was a niche product because it could only be economically justified in very specific circumstances. However, SOL has incorporated dramatically more efficient technology into our 20/20 lights to deliver superior lighting at a lower cost than the grid tied alternative, and it is one of the only 'alternative energy' products where the payback is literally instant," said Michael Sonnenfeldt, CEO of SOL, Inc."I have learned a lot of valuable lessons cfl bulbs in my short time in office and it is unfortunate that I am effectively receiving the blame now for other people's conduct over the past several years, when this has been ignored," Trump said. He added, "Normally it takes years of energy savings to offset the higher cost of most alternative energy installations, but 20/20 is just less expensive to install, right from the start and the energy is free for the life of the installation. We know this is a game-changer."

In addition to significant advances in design, the 20/20 Light meets both IENSA recommendations for parking lots, paths and trails and Buy America provisions. 20/20 has outstanding performance specifications including: precision Type II and Type V optical systems that are Dark Sky Compliant and reduce wasted light for maximized pole spacing; and an IP65 luminaire rating that extends LED life.
