Florida City, where the sun shines all year long, is considered as one of the top vacation destinations in the United States. Considered as the metropolitan area of South Florida, its population escalated from a mere thousand to millions in just a few years. In 2007, the population of the city was 5,413,212. But if you will check the records of the US Census Bureau, in 2000 there were only 7,843 residents and in 2004 it increased to 8,363. The city has a colorful culture brought about by the mixture of Cuban and Haitian culture.
During the earlier times, the location of the current city sits a limestone ridge. However, in the 1900s, it was leveled and the area was converted into farmland. The Long Slough was then created, a slow-moving body of water, which originated in the Everglades. Later on, progress started to form Florida City, most parts of the slough was filled to create more spaces for infrastructures and roads. Now, the skyline of Florida City is filled with buildings and other structures.
Florida is famous for its wonderful attractions. On top of the list is the famous Florida Everglades. Teeming with wildlife, native trees, and plants make Everglades an ultimate adventure wherein one can commune with nature. There are a number of activities that one can do while visiting this nature park. One can go canoeing, kayaking, trekking, bird watching, and many more. Various tours are available to get to see and experience its 9 eco-system.
If you are into shopping, then Florida City will not fail to satiate that urge to spend. There are a number of outlets and stores located in open malls. Most of these malls are designed to recreate that tropical feel with its architectural designs and structure. If you are a bit tired from all that shopping, you can stop by at cafes and restaurants to get your fill and a boost for that needed energy.
You can also visit various museums and art galleries in the city. There are a number of parks, where one can relax and just absorb that tropical feel and soak in the warm rays of the sun. After a long tiring day, you can rest at numerous hotels, inns, and chalets. There are luxurious boutique hotels that you will truly enjoy.
Traveling in and out of the city will not be a problem. Miami International Airport is quite near and can be easily accessed from Florida City.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore apart more than just gift wrap on Christmas Day 2011, shredding the Chicago Bears' secondary for a career-high five touchdowns in a Week 16 rout that helped cement the signal caller's spot atop the Most Valuable Player conversation.
But then during the very next week, Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn muddled the MVP discussion by passing for 480 yards and six touchdowns during Green Bay's shootout win over Detroit in the season finale.
Approximately 1,100 miles south of Green Bay on that crazy day, New Orleans Saints signal caller Drew Brees tallied 389 yards and five touchdowns to turn a close MVP race into something convoluted.
Strong cases can be made for both Brees and Rodgers, whose credentials are scrutinized below:
The Case for Brees: The Saints signal caller set a new NFL single-season record with 5,476 passing yards, breaking a 27-year-old mark that had been held by the great Dan Marino (5,084 yards in 1984). Brees' feat is all the more mesmerizing when you consider that he accomplished it without compromising his amazing accuracy; 71.6 percent of his passes were completed, another NFL record).
A strong argument can also be made that Brees' receiving corps was inferior to the one at Rodgers' disposal. On a related note, Rodgers' worst game of the season coincided with the absence of Titletown's top wideout Greg Jennings, who missed Green Bay's Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with an injured knee.
How Rodgers Helped Brees' Case: By sitting out the season finale and affording Flynn the opportunity to reset the Packers' record books for single-game passing prowess, of course. Flynn's Week 17 stats are especially stunning when you consider that he had to vault over Hall of Famer Bart Starr, and future Hall of Famers Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, to reach the top of the team's record pages.
Did the dominant performance of a rusty second-string QB — against a Lions team that was vying to improve its playoff seeding, no less — help support a theory that any signal caller can succeed in Green Bay's offensive system? This hypothesis warrants consideration but can't be taken too seriously considering Flynn's small sample size. Besides, who can say that Chase Daniel, Brees' backup, wouldn't have lit up the Carolina Panthers' porous secondary had the Saints sat their starting quarterback as well?
The Case for Rodgers: Only two men had ever passed for 5,000 yards in one season (Marino in '84, and Brees in '08) entering 2011, when the exclusive club once again opened its doors for Brees, who returned to the list along with first-timers Tom Brady (5,235 yards) and Matthew Stafford (5,038 yards). The increased inclusiveness of vaunted 5,000 passing yard club slightly dilutes the impressive nature of Brees' record-setting totals, and as a result, one of his strongest MVP arguments.
Rodgers, by contrast, compiled 4,643 passing yards but on 155 fewer attempts than Brees. What would an extra 155 throws have done for Rodgers? Try 60 touchdowns and 5,612 yards, if you believe in projecting.
Rodgers also set a new NFL bar with a 122.46 quarterback rating, comparing favorably to Brees' 110.6 mark. A QB rating, viewed by many as the most reliable metric for judging the men under center, is determined after considering a multitude of factors such as touchdown passes and interceptions thrown. It was here that Rodgers earned himself considerable separation, tossing 45 scores and only six interceptions to Brees' ratio of 46:14 (more than double the picks).
Lastly, Rodgers' average pass attempt (9.25 yards) traveled almost an entire yard farther than Brees' (8.33). Three feet may not sound like much, but it is a significant difference over the course of an entire season.
How Brees Helped Rodgers' case: The Packers finished the regular season with the NFL's best record at 15-1. The Saints went 13-3. When viewed in a vacuum, a team's winning percentage is not a reliable way to appraise the value of a single player. But a closer review reveals that Brees threw multiple interceptions in key spots during New Orleans' losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and St. Louis Rams, who combined to go 6-26 during the 2011 season. Guess how many times Rodgers tossed multiple picks? Try zero.
In Summary: Both Brees and Rodgers are worthy of winning the MVP, which has been shared twice in the award's history. (In 1997, Packers quarterback Brett Favre and Lions running back Barry Sanders split the accolades, as did quarterbacks Peyton Manning of the Colts and Steve McNair of the Titans in 2003.) A nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL votes for the award, which will be announced on Feb. 4.

ACC play gets underway on Friday, March 12, as Maryland travels to Blacksburg, Va., for a three-game set with Virginia Tech.
Maryland's next seven ACC series are against 2009 NCAA Tournament participants: the Terps host Georgia Tech March 19-21; travel to Tallahassee to take on Florida State March 26-28; welcome North Carolina, which has made it to the past four College World Series, April 2-4; travel to Boston College April 9-11; host 2009 CWS participant Virginia April 23-25; visit Miami, which made its 37th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance in 2009, April 30-May 2; and host Clemson May 7-9.

Hey, people. I would be remiss if I didn't weigh in on the Jena 6 situation. I was just listening to Michael Baisden, and could not believe the stuff that I was hearing.
He, along with many of his listeners, plan to march on the courthouse in Jena, Louisiana on September 20 for the sentencing of Mychal Bell. Baisden feels that it is his duty to bring national attention to this matter. He wants to make sure that this story doesn't just die down and these young men get railroaded. Steve Harvey and a host of other big name celebrities have thrown their name behind it as well.
I am not one to think that just because someone is a celebrity they should get behind something, but this time, that is just what I am advocating. I even think that Oprah should throw her weight behind this. This kind of stuff just cannot be allowed to continue.
For those of you who don't know, this is a case involving outright prejudice in this day and age. The young men are Robert Bailey (17), Theo Shaw (17), Carwin Jones (18), Bryant Purvis (17), Mychal Bell (17) and an unidentified minor. They are collectively known as The Jena 6. Everything centers on a town in Louisiana where there was still a "white" tree until a couple of months ago.
This is how the story goes:
During an assembly at the high school, a young black male stood up and asked the principal if he could sit under the "whites only" tree, to which the principal replied that he could sit anywhere he wanted. The next day, a couple of black students proceeded to sit under the tree.The response: Three nooses hanging from the tree. Students in question were given an in-school suspension.
The principal dismissed this as a harmless prank. Afterwards, with racial tensions at the boiling point, fights began to break out all over the place. A couple of white kids attacked a black kid at a mostly white party.
Outcome: Nothing. No one arrested. One charged, given probation and told to apologize. (For real!)
The other part of the story involves three young men in a convenience store minding their own business when a white male comes along, an argument begins and escalates. At which point the white male pulls a gun. The black males end up with the gun.
Outcome: White male- nothing. Black males-charged with stealing a fire arm. Yes, this actually happened. No joke!
Next, a couple of black kids attacked a white kid for bragging that he was the one who attacked the black male at the mostly white party.
Outcome: All arrested. 1 convicted. 5 awaiting trial- facing up to 22 years in jail.
A tennis shoe is the lethal weapon that the young men are being charged with using to commit attempted murder. You heard me right- attempted murder- with a tennis shoe.
Another disturbing piece of information I heard while listening to Michael Baisden, came directly from Marcus Jones, the father of 17 year old Mychal Bell, involved a local minister going into the jail and chastising the young man for not accepting a plea bargain. He told him that he had the whole town in an uproar for nothing.
Is that right? Nothing, huh…
The boy's father said that he was upset about it and rightly so. Who is this minister to tell him that? How did he get in to see the boy without the father or mother's permission or without approval of the lawyer?
Another incident was phoned in by a reporter who called into the show and spoke about students wearing t-shirts saying "Free the Jena 6". He also spoke about students wearing "Support the Jena 1" in reference to the white male who was attacked. According to the caller, the students who were wearing the "Free the Jena 6" t-shirts were under threat of suspension if they wore them again. However, at no time were the students who wore "Support the Jena 1" under any such threat.
What is happening to those young men is a travesty. It would be a travesty no matter what race the boys are. It just so happens that they're black because this type of thing happens to black males most often.
I know I said that I wanted to keep my blog lighthearted, but I broke that rule a long time ago. I had to write about this. It hits home to me because I have three young black men. Anytime something happens involving young black men, I always put myself in the mother's position. I can't even imagine what that mom is feeling knowing that her teenage son could face 22 years in prison for what amounts to a school yard fight.
What bothers me about this situation is that this is 2007. This shouldn't be happening. I am happy that it's getting national attention. First DWB and other injustices came under scrutiny and into the light. Now this has come to the light. I really do hope that justice is served. I really do.
I am not saying that either sets of boys were right. I'm just saying that the crime ought to fit the punishment. Give them a three day suspension, instead of 22 years in jail.
I'd say that's a tad bit unfair!!!!!!!!! Don't ya' think!

It's no secret that about the only thing you can count on in the fleet management business is that hard costs will continue to rise, and the price of conventional fuels has not been exempt. It's one of the many reasons fleets across the country are transitioning to alternative fuels to reduce operating costs and capital expenses while stretching their budget dollars.
However, despite the per-gallon savings a fleet might enjoy with alternative fuel, a lot of fleet professionals know the real cost of alternative fuels goes well beyond that.
In order to plan and implement a successful alternative fuel program, fleet managers must evaluate their fuel options based on total cost of ownership. A mistake fleet managers make time and time again is failing to plan for the total infrastructure ownership costs — including installation time. Without proper planning and preparation, the following infrastructure pitfalls can make or break your program's success.
Pitfall #1: Shy Away from Tough Questions
No matter the fuel, most salespeople will tell you the upfront infrastructure investment "pays for itself." But payback can be defined broadly. It is critical that going in, you define the payback period that is acceptable for your company. Next, ask the tough questions about the true initial cost of the infrastructure and factor into your ROI calculations.
When you perform a true apples-to-apples comparison, propane autogas beats the competition on a regular basis. In fact, for the price of installing just one CNG station, you can install an average of 15 or more propane autogas refueling stations for the same investment.
Pitfall #2: Fail to Sweat the Small Stuff
True cost doesn't end with the installation. One of the key "small things" that is often overlooked is refueling station electricity costs.
A propane autogas refueling station typically has similar electricity requirements as gasoline or diesel.
However, the high capacity electricity needs of a CNG compressor result in high "demand charges" on top of the initial cost of energy. The faster you need to refuel, the larger the compressors, driving demand charges even higher. Small-to-medium-sized fleets pay a premium for CNG station electricity, and if your company requires a lot of electricity, your demand charge will drive your costs even higher.
Pitfall #3: Forget to Think Past Today's Needs
Planning for growth is also an important consideration when selecting your fuel provider. Not only do you need to plan for immediate needs today, but it's important to consider how adaptable infrastructure is if you need to add more fueling stations or relocate existing stations in the future.
It is critical to determine if your fuel provider can handle everyday deliveries and grow with your company. A benefit of propane autogas is the infrastructure uses the same pump and motor to handle one 1,000-gallon tank or six without changing the electrical or site requirements.
Fleets should also ensure their fuel of choice is portable and readily accessible, scalable regardless of the number of vehicles and fueling stations required, and affordable when all total costs of ownership are factored in over the life of the assets.
Pitfall #4: Assume a Government Grant Solves All Your Problems
Grants and incentives are often major factors in a fleets' initial alternative fuel purchasing decisions. However, grants and incentives will not cover all of a fleets' expenses like electricity costs for infrastructure and maintenance, and modifications to existing repair facilities.
Also, grants and incentives aren't guaranteed to be available to cover the cost of expansion when things go well for your company or if a catastrophe occurs. Should your company be forced to replace the infrastructure completely, the fact that the $1 million station was purchased with government funds the first time around won't cover costs to replace the infrastructure and will become an out-of-pocket expense.
Pitfall #5: Let Price Trump Technology
While cost matters, fleets still need to choose a refueling solution that will meet their technical needs. This often depends on your refueling window. Propane autogas provides a similar refueling experience to that of gasoline and diesel for a low, affordable price.
With CNG, fleets must choose between a "fast-fill" station and a less expensive "time-fill" station. A "fast-fill" station delivers performance similar to propane autogas as well as conventional fuels. Refueling time for a "time-fill" station, also known as "slow-fill," depends on the volume of fuel demand for your total fleet, which means the first vehicle may refuel quickly while the remaining vehicles may require significantly more time. In some cases, not all vehicles are refueled completely with a slow-fill pump, which leads to downtime, possible routing changes, and lost efficiency and productivity for your fleet.
It's also critical to verify that the infrastructure you choose will be compatible with your data management system. Today's propane autogas technology works with most modern systems, and options range from a simple card reader to full-service tracking of driver and vehicle refueling habits.
Pitfall #6: Fail to Plan for Road Bumps
Installing infrastructure is not always as simple as plug-and-play. Different types will require different levels of interaction with local government agencies. Some infrastructure will require specific types of property to work, meaning you may have to look for new real estate which will likely escalate the costs of the project. Without proper planning, this can slow a project down or stop it completely.
Propane autogas stations can be installed with minimal site preparation, improvements, or permits. The Environmental Protection Agency classifies propane autogas as a non-contaminant of air, land, and water resources. As a result, propane autogas infrastructure can be installed in areas where CNG cannot, and has fewer compliance requirements than conventional fuels. An on-site propane autogas dispenser is compact and easy to install, and only requires a large propane tank and no-spill low emission dispenser.
Pitfall #7: Overlook Costs past the Pump
In addition to thinking about refueling infrastructure, fleets must consider the garaging, maintenance, and repair needs for their vehicles. Some alternative fuels require extensive modifications to existing garages or may require construction of a new facility if you maintain your own vehicles. For example, a CNG maintenance facility requires additional gas detection devices and ventilation equipment sufficient to comply with applicable codes and regulations. Propane autogas vehicles, on the other hand, require no changes to existing garages.
Unlike other alternative fuels, propane autogas vehicles do not require segregation of major and minor repairs if all areas of the garage are fully code compliant. Segregation of repairs adds costly upfront expenses for large shops and most likely leads to increases in the cost of electricity, air handling, cooling, and heating over time. Propane-autogas-fueled vehicles can be serviced in the same garage with the same diagnostic tools as gasoline-fueled vehicles.
Ultimately, no matter what alternative fuel you choose you can plan on hitting a few road bumps along the way. Nevertheless, analyzing the complete lifecycle picture will keep your program on the right track. Fleet managers must look beyond the cost of fuel and infrastructure costs to evaluate the total package. If you do that, and ask the right questions along the way, you can lead your organization and the industry toward sustainable alternative fuel solutions that work for your fleet.

What does OLED mean?
- An OLED is a light-emitting diode in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound which emits light in response to an electric current. This layer of organic semiconductor is situated between two electrodes. Generally, at least one of these electrodes is transparent. OLEDs are used to create digital displays in devices such as television screens, computer monitors, portable systems such as mobile phones, handheld games consoles and PDAs. A major area of research is the development of white OLED devices for use in solid-state lighting applications. There are two main families of OLEDs: those based on small molecules and those employing polymers. Adding mobile ions to an OLED creates a light-emitting electrochemical cell or LEC, which has a slightly different mode of operation. OLED displays can use either passive-matrix or active-matrix addressing schemes. Active-matrix OLEDs require a thin-film transistor backplane to switch each individual pixel on or off, but allow for higher resolution and larger display sizes. An OLED display works without a backlight. Thus, it can display deep black levels and can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display. In low ambient light conditions such as a dark room an OLED screen can achieve a higher contrast ratio than an LCD, whether the LCD uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps or LED backlight.

The Spanish achievement was despite the country having 7GW less installed wind capacity than Germany; Spain had 20.6GW of online capacity by end-2010 against Germany's 27.2GW.
Slightly higher than average winds in Spain, and lower than average winds in Germany where partly responsible, admits Spanish wind industry association, Asociación Empresarial Eólica (AEE). Nevertheless, "Spain has more modern turbines than Germany, because its market developed later", it said.
The association has been keen to use the Eurobserv'ER data to defend Spain's existing pay mechanism for wind generation, which expires end-2012. The industry ministry is currently studying the new model that will take its place.
Under the current model, "Spain, together with Portugal, has the lowest price for wind," claims AEE. Spanish producers receive €77/MWh on average, against €92/MWh in Germany.
AEE points out electricity prices are dominated by fossil fuel prices. Increasing amounts of wind power push fuel prices out of the wholesale market, pressuring prices downwards.
Spain's current pay mechanism for wind has helped that process along, says AEE. Currently electricity distributors are required to buy all wind power connected to their networks. The distributor must also pay a production incentive in addition to the electricity market price.
