5.77: Electronic Device
If you were born in the last few decades, it's probably impossible for you to imagine life without the computer. The computer is just one of many electronic devices that make modern life possible.
What are Electronic Devices?
Many of the devices people commonly use today are electronic devices. Electronic devices use electric current to encode, analyze, or transmit information. In addition to computers, they include mobile phones, TV remotes, DVD and CD players, and digital cameras, to name just a few.
Q: Can you think of other electronic devices that you use?
A: Other examples include game systems and MP3 players.
Focus on the Computer
Let's take a close look at the computer as an example of an electronic device. A computer contains integrated circuits, or microchips, that consist of millions of tiny electronic components. Information is encoded in digital electronic signals. Rapid pulses of voltage switch electric current on and off, producing long strings of 1's (current on) and 0's (current off). The 1's and 0's are the "letters" of the code, and a huge number of them are needed. One digit (either 0 or 1) is called a bit, which stands for "binary digit." Each group of eight digits is called a byte, and a billion bytes is called a gigabyte. Because a computer's circuits are so tiny and close together, the computer can be very fast and capable of many complex tasks while remaining small.
The parts of a computer that transmit, process, or store digital signals are pictured and described in the Figure below. They include the CPU, hard drive, ROM, and RAM. The motherboard ties all these parts of the computer together.
- The CPU, or central processing unit, carries out program instructions. You can learn more about CPUs and how they work by watching the video at this URL:
- The hard drive is a magnetic disc that provides long-term storage for programs and data.
- ROM (read-only memory) is a microchip that provides permanent storage. It stores important information such as start-up instructions. This memory remains even after the computer is turned off.
- RAM (random-access memory) is a microchip that temporarily stores programs and data that are currently being used. Anything stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off.
- The motherboard is connected to the CPU, hard drive, ROM, and RAM. It allows all these parts of the computer to receive power and communicate with one another.
Q: Which part(s) of a computer are you using when you type a school report?
A: You are using the RAM to store the word processing program and your document as you type it. You are using the CPU to carry out instructions in the word processing program, and you are probably using the hard drive to save your document.
- Electronic devices—such as computers, mobile phones, remotes, and cameras—use electric current to encode, analyze, or transmit information.
- A computer contains millions of tiny electronic components. Parts of a computer that transmit, process, or store information include the CPU, hard drive, ROM, and RAM. The motherboard ties all these parts together.
- electronic device: Device that uses electric current to encode, analyze, or transmit information.
At the following URL, learn how a TV remote works. Then answer the questions below. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/inside-rc1.htm
- Which electronic components are found inside a TV remote?
- diode
- transistor
- integrated circuit
- all of the above
- Which component of a TV remote detects when a key is pressed?
- chip
- diode
- capacitor

I have had Pyper tested for EIC, both blood and cheek swab and she came back clear. It was suggested to look into CSS (canine stress syndrome). The description has her name all over it, but so far there are no formal tests to prove that is what it is. When this first started, I did have other tests run at the vet and would have to look them up, but everything came back good for her, thats when I had her tested for EIC.
Yesterday evening, we were out in the yard. The dogs were all at rest while I kicked my hubby's butt at Bocci ball, and then I went into the house. Rene let the dogs out of the kennel and he tossed the ball around for them and then played hide n seek. It wasn't to bad weather wise and they weren't playing for long...mabey 10 minutes...15 max. (he had all three dogs running around, and the yard ain't that big).
Now its time to come in and Pyper is just standing at the bottom of the stairs. I knew right away what was happening. I got Rene to pick her up and bring her in so we could cool her down. Got the fan out, some cold cloths out for her. Usually, its just her back end that sways a bit, but last night she couldn't stand up at all. her front and back end were very unstable, so I tried to get her to at least sit. She couldn't do anything for a few minutes. but when she did, I still had to hold onto her, as she would have fallen over. I kept cooling her off ( I never had a chance to take her temp) It usually lasts only about 5 - 10 minutes and then she is good to go. This probably took 15 - 20 minutes. We have never seen her like this. She wasn't working, it wasn't hot out, they were just playing and she had no control what so ever. That was scarey.
I realize you guys don't know my dog, but is it possible for a dog to die from this?? How do I continue to train for Hunt Tests. Senior or Seasoned tests are a little more work then Junior....what should I do?

IIRC, Al thought he had permission to parody Gansta's Paradise because the label said it was OK without actually checking personally with Coolio - Al thought Coolio had personally signed off when it was just the execs who had given the green light. I thought Coolio's reaction towards the situation was immature and shortsighted, he lost a lot of respect for blaming and badmouthing Al over this in my opinion.
I met Weird Al once at the Wherehouse music at Sunset and La Brea, he was just shopping with his girlfriend around 9 at night - it was the only spontaneous autograph I've ever gotten, he was pretty cool about it but really lit up after I mentioned how much the family and I liked The Compleat Al. And get this, every pen we had was either empty or broken, it was like a bad plot-point in a cheesy sitcom (eventually, the clerk at the store found one that worked).

Incontinentia pigmenti achromians is a rare birth defect that causes unusual patches of light-colored (hypopigmented) skin and possible neurological and skeletal problems.
Hypomelanosis of Ito (more commonly used)
The cause is unknown. It is twice as common in girls than in boys.
A Wood's lamp examination of the skin lesions may help confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor may also recommend chromosome analysis or a further medical workup to discover any related medical problems.
There is no treatment for the hypopigmentation. Treatment consists of treating the symptoms. Cosmetics or clothing may be used to cover the hypopigmented spots if desired. Seizures, scoliosis, and other problems are treated as necessary.
What happens depends on the type and severity of symptoms that develop. In most cases, the skin pigment eventually returns to normal.
Call your health care provider if your child exhibits an unusual pattern of the color of the skin.

We had a fabulous stay! It's an absolutely charming apartment and it has everything we needed. Conveniently located, also. Francine is very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this place!
The place is just fantastic, a very very cute house with a great view on the street and buildings. The location is just perfect, near the subway, near Central Park and after all very quiet for being in the center of NYC. Francine is a great host and a very nice person! Hope to come back soon!
Francine has a nice little apt in a quieter part of the city. The space is small and personal, clean and cozy. Francine is very nice and the level of communication is high. The bed is elevated, which is best if you don't move too much when you sleep.
We had a good time staying with Francine.
We had a wonderful time in Francine's small apartment. Although it took us quite long to get to the apartment, Francine waited to welcome us. She gave us useful advice.
The location is awesome - it only takes 15 minutes to go to the Times Square. I can highly recommend it!
We enjoyed our one week stay, the apartment was really great. Everything was exactly like described on the platform and Francine was a very friendly and helpful host. The apartment was clean and tidy.
We would love to come back back one day. Thanks a lot for everything,
Mareike & Christian
The flat was very cute and clean. Francine was very kind to us, and helpful!
We had an amazing week thanks to her!
Francine is really nice and the description of the apartment is real. It's the best area with a lots if places to eat really near to the subway and also it have a lot of sun light very good if you have to get up early.
Francines apartment was awesome, we loved staying there for one week. The apartment was very clean and beautiful furnished. It is in a nice area with lots of supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and all you need. Francines arrangements for the keys worked out. We totally recommend Francine and her apartment!! Would love to come back anytime! Thx for all.
Abbiamo passato un'ottima settimana a New York in questo appartamento. Bellissima zona, molto vicino alla metro, a due minuti a piedi da Broadway e 10 da Central Park. Molti pub e ristoranti carini nella zona (facilmente raggiungibili a piedi).
La casa è come nelle foto, non grandissima, ma con tutto quello di cui si ha bisogno. Unica nota leggermente negativa: il letto è molto rumoroso e instabile (letto rialzato), per il resto tutto molto carino e confortevole. Casa molto calda.
Francine è stata gentilissima, ci siamo scambiati delle e-mail in tutto il mese precedente il viaggio per informazioni e chiarimenti; dato che non poteva esserci nei giorni del nostro soggiorno ci ha inviato per posta a casa le chiavi dell'appartamento e, con una video chiamata Skype, ci ha mostrato la casa e ci ha spiegato alcune cose.

This recipe was created by chef Traci Des Jardins of San Francisco's Jardinière. It's part of a special menu she created for Epicurious's Wine.Dine.Donate program.
Leave a Review
My daughter said, "I could eat a whole meal of just this." Loved it! I used finely chopped pear instead of apple, and needed waaaay less butter, only Tbsp each on sweet potatoes and sauteed pear, then scooped pear out and added kale to the same butter.
This was surprisingly easy and tasty. We replaced butter w olive oil and some bacon fat. Spinach for greens. Will make again.
We really enjoyed this dish. Made the recipe as written with turnip greens and matzu crispin apples. Loved the combination. Will definitely make again and again. Yum!!
Made this with my CO-op share of kale and sweet potatoes. Also added turnips. This was excellent and there were no left-overs. I made as written, although substituted oil for butter with the only exception of sauting apples with 2 sliced shallots with 2 tbl butter. Seasoned with rosemary and fresh pepper. This is a keeper!
Wonderfully tasty! As others suggested, I sauteed some shallots before wilting the spinach and the dish turned out amazing. By the way, I barely used 2 tsp of oil for the sweet potatoes, 1 tsp of butter for the apples and about 2 tsp of oil for the shallots and I found that this was plenty. Having said that, I think that the whole dish could be made without any added fat and the flavour would not suffer one bit.
I made this for Thanksgiving dinner last night and it was delicious, so well received. Taking some ideas from other reviews, I cut the sweet potatoes into 3/4" cubes, cut the apples into narrow wedges, replaced some of the butter with olive oil when roasting the sweet potatoes, and added a little chicken stock to the greens. The greens were a combination of Trader Joe's kale and southern greens blend, which contains mustard, turnip and collard greens with spinach. I will definitely make this again.
Super good! Really easy, healthy--when you don't use butter to sauté everything. I used kale and tatsoi. The apple added a nice slightly sweet flavor. YUM.
So delicious! Very buttery - but mostly because I accidentally added way more butter than was called for. I highly recommend this dish. I made it with swiss chard.
This is my go-to staple side dish. We don't bother pealing the apples and it is still fine. I bring it to parties and it is always a hit!
I think the idea of this is more appealing than the actual dish itself. The sweet pot. & apples, delish but then the greens come along and it just doesn't quite work. I really wanted to like this. I kept tasting & tasting but I couldn't convince myself. My husband wasn't thrilled nor were my 10yr. old boys. (And they like pretty much eat everything) I do have to say that the colors of the dish are fabulous. They are bright & vibrant, very holiday-ish. 2 forks because of the creativity & uniqueness.

I got 30 loads of free dirt to raise a low area on my dog training place in Thomasville. I guided every truck into the area, while I was talking to the job boss, one driver decided to take a short cut across one of my dikes.
After my daughter (4 year old) and I drove over, she looked at the driver and said you were not supposed to cross this culvert, I about died laughing. The poor driver just said yes I was supposed go go up the hill and drive around. See attached pictures
The owner of the truck showed up and hit the roof, tomorrow a large wrecker is supposed to be here, i also explained to the owner that if he bent my 36 inch culvert he would buy me and install a new one.
I look forward to tomorrow morning.

Rahm backs down: We never said we'd block Chick-fil-A from Chicago, says spokesman
posted at 4:41 pm on July 27, 2012 by Allahpundit
It grieves me to say it but I think we might owe Mike Bloomberg for this. When even America's most meddlesome micro-managing mayor endorses the libertarian approach on this subject, the Overton window of acceptable state interference is closed. Best for Rahm to have a spokesman issue a quiet climbdown and then slink away in defeat.
Cutting one's losses is a "Chicago value" too:
Emanuel press secretary Tarrah Cooper called Friday to clarify the mayor's stance on whether a Logan Square Chick-fil-A location would be vetoed because of the company's views on gay marriage.
"He never said he'd block the restaurant from coming," Cooper said…
To clarify, Cooper said Emanuel still believes "their values are not Chicago values." But that doesn't mean he would block them.
"If they meet all the requirements, they're welcome to open a restaurant here."
Taken together with yesterday's retreat by Mumbles, that makes two Chick-fil-A dragonslayers who have thrown in the towel. Are there no hardcore liberal mayors left who are willing to try to quash the company's First Amendment rights for the glory of The Cause? Actually, maybe:
Closest #ChickFilA to San Francisco is 40 miles away & I strongly recommend that they not try to come any closer.
— Edwin Lee (@mayoredlee) July 26, 2012
I hope he's serious about that; we sure could use another week of easy traffic from halfwit Democrats threatening to illegally banish conservative businesses from their cities. Especially as a contrast to stories like this, of Jeff Bezos dropping a few million bucks on the pro-SSM movement in Washington state. Let me know when red-state mayors start threatening to kick Amazon warehouses out of town.
Exit question: Anyone else dreading the Twitter reaction to this terrible news? I've got a hunch there's a Twitchy post collecting lefty reaction in the works as I write this, and it won't be pleasant.

Mmm.. long time no post..
Been working, buying a house (!)
There seems to be a lot of crap involved in buying a house.. And then when you buy it you have to wait :)
Still, when we move house I'll be able to run cat5 in all of the rooms :)
Some poor saps from interstate are coming over for a funky choir event called IV,which should as always be lots of fun. It will be nice not having to drive for 2 days to get there for a change (IV is held in a different capital city each year - and for you foriegners, Australia is fairly large).

Community Owner to Community Owners and others in Manufactured Housing Business
February 17th, 2012 1 comment
My purpose in writing this column to you is this:
1. To encourage MH factories to work more closely with Community Owners
2. To furnish research on the "Boomer Market" which is here now.
According to some Industry estimates, there are 250,000 or more empty lots in our communities across the country at this time. Empty lots mean that our infrastructure is ready to accept a new home today. Community owners across the nation are doing things to bring in new residents that we have never done before or used to do years ago. If the truth is told, we have become smarter and run our businesses leaner than before. Probably much like the manufacturing industry of our home products.
I have gathered some research which I'd like to take a few minutes and share with you.
First, let's admit that things are bad for not only our industry but for everyone. But since we are related to housing let's talk about it. As the joke goes, it's so bad (how bad is it 😉 that in Beverly Hills California there are 180 homes that are being foreclosed on by the lenders of those homes. Residents there are making a business decision to walk away from their loans that are more than the home is currently worth. This sounds familiar, don't it? It's not that they can't make the payments, they just don't want to anymore.
According to CNBC.com, Georgia has the 4th highest rate of foreclosure in the nation or 1 home in every 355. Arizona, Calif. and Nevada are #1 with 1 in every 115 in foreclosure. RealtyTrac projects foreclosures will rise 25% this year to 1,000,000+ homes. Last year lenders took back 894,000 homes.
You can make your own judgement of why this happened or about whom to blame. Either way, it's not going to change a thing. Maybe we all are to blame in part for actions in our industry and what some did in the 90's or more recently. I certainly made some mistakes in my own small business I wish I could do over.
We know our own industry has had sizable numbers of repo's and new home sales in past years. When you look at the projected number of site built homes to be foreclosed on this year alone, it's a huge housing hole that must be filled. I believe our industry can fill this hole if we wanted to and planned to do so.
Now for some facts on the "Boomer Market."
The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Baby Boomers as those born between January 1st, 1946 and Dec. 31, 1964. On Jan. 1st 2011, the first of 77 million boomers began retirement age and will continue at the rate of 10,000 a day for the next 19 years. Let me repeat – 10,000 people a day – will reach retirement age for 19 years. This represents about 20% of the US population.
Along with this staggering fact comes this research that is not so good for many retirees.
David Zuckerman of Zuckerman Capital Management says that "the financial reality for most of the boomer population is that funding retirement will be much more difficult than they anticipated. Social Security was never designed to cover the cost of living for such a long period. When Social Security was designed, life expectancies were such that the system was to provide extra income in just the last few years of life. The elderly are living longer and the cost of health care is rising dramatically, making it very expensive to retire."
Persons who are retiring at 62-65 can now expect to live another 20 years.
One survey reported that 36% of those surveyed said they don't contribute anything at all to retirement savings.
35% of Americans already over the age of 65 rely almost entirely on Social Security payments alone.
In 1950 there were 16 US workers for every retired person. In 2010, only 3.3 persons were working for every retired person.
According to a recent America Association or Retired Person's (AARP) survey of Boomers, 40% of them plan to "work until they drop."
Companies across America have been watching the drop of their pension plans and 401K plans values, which were suppose to take up the slack. The stock market went south. If it crashes again, it will devastate the Boomers even more. Many who have 401K's have had to dip into them to just survive while they have been unemployed.
Many retirees counted on their homes as their retirement fund. But the housing market crashed. Now some experts say that 22% of homeowners -or nearly 11,000,000 people – owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth; many are boomers.
Boomers need to work and want to work longer than previous generations but unemployment is near 9% and many have lost their jobs and can't find work.
Personal note: the other day while checking out at the grocery store, the lady working the cash register was at least 70 and the man bagging was probably older than that lady. I can't believe that they were enjoying standing on their feet all day just to have something to do.
One other fact that is coming. As more and more boomers decide or choose to stay on their jobs and work for another 10 years to pay for their healthcare, groceries, etc. what do you think will happen to the college kids who are coming out looking for jobs? This is another problem that is upon us.
So, where does that leave us in this industry?
Clearly there is a tsunami of folks – retiring and young – who could be heading our way.
Boomers who do not need the large homes anymore to maintain, heat and cool, pay taxes on, and to rake that yard. They will be on fixed incomes and must reduce their cost of living or continue to work. The homes that were built in the 1950's are not insulated like the homes are today. Those older houses' closets are small, they have steps and other issues that will have to be addressed as they age in place.
77 million people in the next 19 years who may decide that they want smaller, tighter, and easily maintained homes that do not share a wall, ceiling or floor with others and want to plant flowers and a tomato plant outside their own home and be independent as long as they can.
10,000 people a day who will want to choose to scale back (downsize) and use their limited income on travel and enjoying their lives in a new home, maybe in a community that offers the safety of neighbors who have been screened by the community owner/manager, or where the community mows the grass for them.
So I come to the goal of my writing this Industry Voices guest article.
We community owners have an estimated 250,000 empty spaces that need homes on them and producing income. The Manufactured Housing Industry has a product that is well built, affordable, and energy efficient, and for the next 19 years 77 million people will be looking at options for their retirement (this does not even begin to take into account the millions of first time home buyers entering the marketplace).
We have the land and sites. Manufacturers have the product and millions are looking for a place to call home. Why are we all not working better together?
I attended the Louisville Manufactured Housing Show this Jan. and I only noticed two manufacturers who were going after Community Owners with their Community Series Homes. I did not see anyone addressing Baby Boomers and their needs. Yes, there was a few who talked about wider doors and halls but not much emphasis on this population segment and it's needs.
I've heard about BDM's (Business Development Managers) for our HUD Code Home Manufacturers, but again, I only have been approached by 2 HUD Code home builders. who want my business.
Now, I am just a small mom and pop with few empty spaces, but I continue to wonder why all manufacturers are not knocking our doors down trying to get to us. We will meet again in Tunica in March, and I wonder how many seminars will be held by the BDM's to talk and reach out to all Community Owners in the South? Why were there seminars in Louisville and some set for MHCs in Tulsa, and not in Tunica's Show?
We Community Owners hope that chattel lending companies will begin to see that we can and will work with them in the future, and with the help of manufacturers, everyone can win in this partnership.
Our Georgia State Association has held symposiums in the past that invited HUD Code builders from our southern states to meet and work with us to develop homes that would fit our needs. We encourage a dialog with each and every lender and builder of homes so that we can fill the need of the upcoming boomer market and provide them with a home that they will be proud to own, rent or lease.
In closing I hope I have accomplished my two goals. Community Owners would like to talk to every BDM about Community Series Homes and would like to develop a national plan on how we can advertise our products and communities to this Boomer market of 77 million people in the future.

Westpac Stadium has never looked so good for the Wellington Phoenix.
After suffering another listless 2-0 loss to the Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium tonight, they have two home games in quick succession to look forward to before they play a "home'' game in Dunedin on Sunday, March 3.
After being thumped 5-0 by the Central Coast Mariners in the last round, the Phoenix will be keen to get back to the Cake Tin where they seem to find a new gear.
They will meet Adelaide United at home next Sunday before hosting Newcastle in a mid-week fixture on February 27.
Tonight's loss left the Phoenix at the bottom of the A-League ladder after 22 rounds and something needs to click for them in the coming weeks otherwise heads will have to roll.
Wellington again looked off the pace tonight against a Brisbane side who came into the game in ninth place.
New recruit Corey Gameiro nearly made a dream start to his Wellington Phoenix career in the eighth minute when he headed the ball into the back of the net but the linesman ruled out the goal for an earlier infringement by Gameiro on Brisbane defender Jade North.
Replays proved the linesman was correct to make the call but an early goal would have done the Phoenix the world of good.
Gameiro didn't lack in confidence though, and the man who became the 71st player to don the Phoenix colours looked lively in the opening spell and wasn't afraid to fire a shot on goal if the opportunity arose.
The Phoenix probably looked the better of the two teams in the first 30 minutes but were caught out just after the half-hour mark when Brisbane midfielder Steven Lustica found himself unmarked at the top of the box and he latched on to a Shane Stefanutto cross to score.
Louis Fenton nearly levelled the ledger only minutes later but was denied by Brisbane goalkeeper Michael Theo who made a fine save to his left to deny the rookie from Tawa.
The Phoenix lost Leo Bertos to a late injury and Vince Lia had to fill the void at right back. They were also without the suspended Jeremy Brockie for the game.
Things didn't get any easier when starting midfielder Isaka Cernak lasted only 26 minutes before he succumbed to an ailment and was replaced by Dani Sanchez.
As the Phoenix looked to muster something in the second spell they gave the ball away at the back and Brisbane striker Besart Berisha wasted no time in doubling the lead for the home side as he buried his shot past goalkeeper Glen Moss, who made his first start of the season.
The Suncorp Stadium pitch resembled a goat track but it was the same for both teams and it certainly didn't excuse why the Phoenix were so poor.
Paul Ifill looked out of sorts, and again Wellington struggled through the middle of the park.
Manny Muscat hasn't been at his best lately and the Phoenix need more from him so they can build on attack.
Fenton was active again tonight and his fellow rookie Tyler Boyd stung the palms of Theo with one shot on goal although he absolutely butchered a golden opportunity to head home a goal in the 65th minute as he put his attempt wide.
It summed up another night to forget across the Tasman for the Phoenix.
Brisbane Roar 2 (Steven Lustica 33, Besart Berisha 49) Wellington Phoenix 0 HT: 1-0

The Israeli press is reporting that "The United States was behind the summoning of Israeli ambassadors by several European nations, Israeli sources with close ties to US administration officials said Monday. 'The European move is essentially an American move,' one official said. 'The Brits asked the Americans how to act.'" The same story quotes an Israeli official saying "The Europeans got the green light to respond with extreme measures . . ."
No proof is offered and proof in these circumstances will be hard to produce. But the story has a great deal of logic behind it. The Obama administration has denounced the Israeli decision to build several thousand additional housing units in Jerusalem and the West Bank. In my experience, when we distance ourselves from Israel the Europeans distance themselves more; when we criticize Israel, they double down and criticize more, and more harshly. Is there any sport that most European foreign ministries enjoy more than denouncing what they view as Israeli aggression, expansion, discrimination, persecution? If they perceive the dimmest green light from Washington, they are off to the races.
The White House will be more restrained, at least in public. In private, the real emotions about Prime Minister Netanyahu and the government of Israel emerge, as they did last weekend in widely reported remarks by Rahm Emanuel to the U.S.-Israel policy conference called the Saban Forum. (Yes, the mayor of Chicago is no longer White House chief of staff, but literally no one believes his remarks were distant from the opinions of his former boss.) One can just imagine what is being said to egg on the Europeans.

Reality Check: Doyle's State Of The State Address
Doyle Gives Fifth State Of The State
MADISON, Wis. - Gov. Jim Doyle gave his State of the State address Tuesday night, and WISC-TV political reporter Colin Benedict put Doyle's speech through a "Reality Check."
VIDEO: Watch The Report
A WISC-TV analysis found that most of the speech was accurate but that a few points deserved some explanation.
"Starting next January, we'll offer every Wisconsin family -- regardless of their income -- the chance to buy coverage for their kids, starting at about $10 a month," Doyle said.
A WISC-TV analysis found this claim "needs clarification."
It's worth noting that last year, Doyle promised the same thing. In the 2006 State of the State, the governor said that every child would have access to health care by "next year." Now, he's saying that it will be available in January 2008. However, this time around, Doyle will put it into the state budget.
"My plan is straightforward and easy to navigate. One application form. One piece of paper. No cumbersome bureaucracy," Doyle said.
This also "needs clarification."
Doyle was referring to health care program red tape, which is a major problem right now. In fact, half of the uninsured children in Wisconsin are eligible for coverage but their parents haven't signed them up. Part of the problem is with the complexity of health care forms.
Doyle also promised that, if the state adopts his plan, 98 percent of people would have access to coverage -- more than any other state in the nation.
However, Massachusetts has a plan that covers 100 percent by forcing people to pay or offering free or lost-cost coverage to those who can't afford it. California is considering a similar universal plan.
On the heels of the vote on the ethics bill on Tuesday, Doyle called for campaign finance reform -- and a law to force special interest groups to abide by campaign finance laws.
"They should disclose their donors, abide by contribution limits and be forbidden from taking corporate contributions that would otherwise be illegal. Let's pass this vital reform now and clean up Wisconsin's airwaves," Doyle said.
This also "needs clarification."
There is some question about whether it is constitutional to force private groups, not candidates, to abide by spending limits or if that would be an infringement on free speech.
Also, it's worth noting that this idea would do nothing to stop negative attacks ads by the candidates themselves.

Rodman to the rescue?
Over the weekend, North Korea abruptly canceled its invitation to U.S. diplomatic envoy Robert King, leaving detained U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae with little hope for immediate release as his health continues to decline.
To retired basketball star Dennis Rodman, that scenario probably sounds like a problem only The Worm can solve.
Which is why Mr. Rodman, the National Basketball Association's former rebounding champion and self-proclaimed "bad boy," was talking to reporters at Beijing International Airport earlier Tuesday, en route to Pyongyang for his second visit in the past six months.
Mr. Rodman has denied any link between the timing of his visit and the U.S. State Department's recent failure to bring back Mr. Bae, a tour operator and Christian missionary who has been detained by North Korea for nearly 10 months.
But Mr. Rodman, whose wormlike ability to scoop up rebounds earned him his nickname, has been vocal in the past about using whatever leverage he has with his "friend" Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, to try to free Mr. Bae. (One example can be found on Twitter, though he has distanced himself from that particular tweet.)
As recently as last Thursday, Mr. Rodman was going on camera to tell whomever would listen that he's hoping to rescue Mr. Bae, perhaps as part of his long-shot bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (See Friday's video here, and fast-forward to 14:50 for the bit about North Korea.)
So perhaps it's too early to rule out a diplomatic success here. In that Thursday interview with the Huffington Post, in fact, Mr. Rodman promised to gently bring up Mr. Bae's case with Mr. Kim, saying he would "try to squeeze him into our conversation," between talking about hoops and downing shots of Mr. Rodman's new vodka.
One thing is for sure, according to Mr. Rodman: if he were to rescue Mr. Bae, it would make him "the most powerful guy in the world."
"If I even went over there, if the Marshal [Kim Jong Un] were to say, 'Dennis, do you want me to let him loose?' and then if I actually got him loose—I'm just saying this out the blue—I'd be the most powerful guy in the world," he said.
Mr. Rodman's trip will last for five days, so brace yourself for more bizarre photo ops from Pyongyang and—who knows—perhaps a free Kenneth Bae. Stranger things have happened.

Policy Framework & Platform
NCPPA Policy Agenda – 2015-17
The National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity is a diverse blend of associations, health organizations, and private corporations advocating for policies that encourage Americans of all ages to be physically active. Through policy change, we want to transform communities, workplaces, schools, and other environments where people spend a majority of their time into places that make people want to be more physically active. If it is not a policy issue we are leading or working on directly, we want to communicate and amplify the work of others. Join our coalition to support this important mission of increasing physical activity for all Americans. If you would like to be added to our e-mail list, participate on one of our committees, join our regular update calls, sign our CEO Pledge, or get involved with our work in some other way, please contact Ayanna McKnight at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why We Do What We Do
Being physically active is one of the most important health behaviors for maintaining health and quality of life. Regular physical activity and improved cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with delayed cardiovascular disease and stroke mortality, a lower risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and some cancers. 1,2 ,3 The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans4 recommends that children engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity each day to include aerobic, muscle, and bone strengthening exercises. Adults should engage in 150 minutes/week of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity that includes muscle-strengthening activity two or more days a week. Developing policies that promote regular physical activity and physical fitness is a worthy investment to improve quality of life, community development and infrastructure, the learning environment in schools, family recreation, job productivity, global competitiveness, military recruitment and retention and national security.5
According to the World Health Organization, rising levels of physical inactivity have led to adverse health consequences and are the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.6 Physical inactivity is now a global health burden, the principle cause for 21-25 percent of breast and colon cancer burden, 27 percent of diabetes burden, and 30 percent of ischemic heart disease burden.7 The global reach of physical inactivity makes it a pandemic, with significant health, economic, environmental, and social consequences.8 Physical fitness can have a positive impact on cognitive ability, avoiding tobacco use, and reducing insomnia, depression, and anxiety.4 Approximately 44 percent of the decline in U.S. age-adjusted coronary heart disease death rates achieved in previous decades can be attributed to reductions in risk factors including lower total blood cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, smoking prevalence, and physical inactivity.9
Health Care Delivery
Although cardiorespiratory fitness is an important marker of both functional ability and cardiovascular health, it is currently the only major risk factor that is not routinely and regularly assessed in either the general or specialized clinical setting.10 People who are sitting throughout their day have roughly twice the risk of having heart attacks, heart surgeries, strokes, or other cardiovascular events compared to those who sit less, independent of physical activity level.1
Systematic reviews show that most interventions to increase physical activity are cost-effective, and are often on par with pharmaceutical interventions, especially if they involve brief exercise advice on prescription with multiple means of delivery using current technologies.12,13,14
In a systematic review of physical education programs that increased the amount of time that students were physically active, students' aerobic and physical fitness increased.15,16 Another systematic analysis showed that mandated physical education policy in schools may have the greatest physical-activity-related energy expenditure for school and community-based policies.17
Compliance with state physical education laws or regulations in states with requirements for the time in physical education is critical for seeing improvement in student fitness.18 The benefits of modifying the school physical education curricula are present across diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, among boys and girls, elementary- and high-school students, and in urban and rural settings.19 A six-month exercise program among obese children and adolescents reduced body mass index, diabetes risk factors, and low-degree inflammation, and demonstrated that regular exercise can restore blood vessel function and improve cardiovascular risk factors.20
Evidence from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study showed that physical education programs do have an impact on improving risk factors in young overweight girls.21
Physically fit children have higher scholastic achievement, better classroom behavior, greater ability to focus, and less absenteeism than their unfit counterparts.22,23,24,25,26,27,28 Several large-scale studies found improvements in students' academic performance and cognitive ability with increased time spent in physical education.29 Currently, Only 3.8 percent of elementary, 7.9 percent of middle, and 2.1 percent of high schools provide daily physical education or its equivalent for the entire school year. Only 13 percent of children ages 5 to 14 walk or bike to and from school, representing a dramatic decline from 1969, when nearly half of all children walked to school.30
Community-based programs focused on improving lifestyle behaviors, including increasing physical activity, have demonstrated the potential to create a return on investment of $5.60 for every dollar spent within five years.31 Several studies have found that the way communities are designed and developed can have an effect on physical activity opportunities and obesity rates. Safe sidewalks, green spaces, parks, and ready access to public transportation can lower the risk for developing diabetes and other chronic disease as compared with those communities that do not have these resources.32
Cities and communities across the U.S. are exploring ways to become vibrant and attractive places to live. One option is to convert vacant lots or brown fields to spur economic development. Community gardens and walking/biking trails have a positive impact on surrounding residential properties, by increasing rates of home ownership and spurring economic redevelopment.33 Other studies have found that building bike/pedestrian trails reduces health care costs associated with physical inactivity. For every dollar invested in building these trails, nearly $3 in medical cost savings may be achieved.34 Additionally, linking different parts of the community with trails and walkways opens the opportunity for community integration, more efficient land use, lower traffic congestion, and better quality of life. People who have parks or recreational facilities nearby and live in communities with well-connected streets exercise much more than those who do not have easy access.35,36
Unfortunately, lower-income communities, especially in predominantly Latino or African-American neighborhoods, often have fewer resources to support active lifestyles and places to play and exercise.37 Programs targeted to low-income and racially and ethnically diverse populations can increase active commuting and are associated with higher overall levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity throughout the day.38 Community-based physical activity interventions are cost-effective, reducing new cases of many chronic diseases and improving quality of life.39
Recreational Spaces
Youth who had recreation or open space facilities close to home were two to three times more likely to take a walk over a two-day period than were youth who had no parks nearby.40 One study that examined total park area within a community found the percentage of total park area within neighborhoods was a significant predictor of increased physical activity levels among children. For each one percent increase in park area, there was a 1.4 percent increase in physical activity levels.41 For every 0.004 sq mile increase in green space (about two football fields) within a 1.0-mile radius there was a one percent increase in moderate-vigorous physical activity among adults.42
Nearly 45 percent of teens who live in a park service area engaged in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on five or more days each week compared to just more than one-third of teens (34.7 percent) who live outside of a park service area.43 The percentage of teens who get no physical activity at all is higher among those with no access to a safe park than among those who have access to a safe park (10.3 percent versus 6.4 percent).44 Individuals who lived in census-block groups with physical activity facilities were 32 percent less likely to be overweight and 26 percent more likely to be highly active than those who lived in block groups with no physical activity facilities.45 Parks with streetlights and floodlights were also associated with an increase of moderate/vigorous physical activity. Facilities like mini parks, natural resource areas, walking paths, and running tracks increase physical activity in communities.46
With more than 130 million Americans employed across the United States, health promotion in the workplace is a cornerstone for reaching adults and promoting prevention efforts and disease management. Modifiable risk factors that portend a higher likelihood of initial chronic disease development, or subsequent events if a diagnosis has been established, have been known for several decades: excess body weight, hyperglycemia and diabetes, physical inactivity/low cardiorespiratory fitness, high blood pressure, tobacco use, and poor diet. Improved identification and management of these risk factors is essential to altering future healthcare projections of worsening health coupled with higher costs. An estimated 25 percent to 30 percent of companies' medical costs per year are spent on employees with diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and other major risk factors for chronic disease.1 Health care delivery must move beyond the clinical environment by partnering with employers, schools, community-based organizations, and public health agencies, in order to reach large segments of the population and address the problems that contribute to poor health.1,2 Employees and their families share the financial burden through higher contributions to insurance, higher co-pays and deductibles, reduction or elimination of coverage, and trade-offs of insurance benefits against wage or salary increases. When comprehensive worksite wellness programs are successful, their influence extends beyond the individual workers to immediate family members who are often exposed to their favorable lifestyle changes.
Each of these settings provide important opportunities for policy interventions to promote physical activity for ALL Americans. The National Coalition for Promoting Physical Activity and its partner organizations are devoted to working with the media, policy makers, and grassroots advocates to make progress on our policy agenda, this important roadmap for creating a physically active population and developing active environments where people spend so much of their time.

Middleton Public SchoolsHowe Manning SchoolFuller Meadow SchoolTritown School Union (Office of the Superintendent)Masconomet Regional School DistrictNorth Shore Technical High School Make a Payment Weather Forecast Selectmens Meeting Minutes 11-9-2010 Printer-Friendly Version Town of Middleton Board of Selectmen Nathan Media Center Fuller Meadow School, Middleton MA November 9, 2010 - 7:30 p.m. Present: Christine Lindberg - Chair, Kosta Prentakis, Nancy Jones, Brian Cresta, Timothy Houten Other Officials Present: Ira Singer - Town Administrator Discussion of Procedures, Timetable, and Laws Governing Amendments to a Town Charter Lindberg began the discussion at approximately 8:25 p.m. Lindberg mentioned that she researched the MMA website, the DOR, as well as other Towns that have gone through the Town Charter process. Singer informed that BOS that in the 1970's the Town of Middleton took the time to go through the process and a Charter Commission was elected. The Town Charter is a fundamental document that needs to be well thought out and studied thoroughly and praised the members on the Charter Commission for their work. Prentakis noted that with the Charter in place, there was an anticipated 25-50% increase in registered voters at that time and informed the BOS that Middleton has more than that at this point. Prentakis stated that the Charter is subject to ongoing changes as the demographics in the Town have changed since the 70's. It is in the Town's best interest to review the Town Charter to determine if the utilities are still there and if changes are needed, whether they are procedural in nature or substantive. Singer mentioned that there have been no substantive changes to the Charter since he has been in Office. In order to make any substantive changes, the Town would need to elect a Commission and go through the process as if the Town were rewriting the Charter all over again. Singer reviewed the procedural changes that were successfully identified and incorporated in the Town Charter since 1977. He gave an example of a substantive change inquiry to change the number of Selectmen from 5 back to 3 and it was explained that it would be a lengthy process of about 4-5 years to make those changes possible. Prentakis gave an example in the Charter that may need to be looked at. Voting for the Town Election is on a Monday when voting day is otherwise held on Tuesdays. Jones agreed that the Town Charter should be reviewed while there are still members that they can consult with who were involved at the time the Charter was established. Houten asked what direction the BOS is looking to take on the matter. Lindberg responded that the BOS should determine who should review the Charter and determine where there are inconsistencies and things that may need to be changed. At that point, if changes are needed, it would need to go to an Elected Charter Review Committee. Lindberg mentioned that the timetable should also be considered. Singer read the names of the individual members on the Charter Commission Board and referred to the 8-9 significant points made back in 1976. 1. Open form of town meeting is retained; 2. Traditional practices of electing officials is retained; 3. Establish position of town administrator; 4. Provide increase number of selectmen from 3 to 5; 5. Established and define department of public works into one department; 6. Recall of elected officials if necessary; 7. Establish a formal capital improvement program; 8. Provide periodic provisions to the town Bylaws. Singer went over the process and timetable for procedural changes to the Town Charter taking approximately 1-2 ½ years and an additional 2 years for any substantive changes from the time of submission. Jones suggested the BOS specify a time for the Board to have a chance to read the Charter thoroughly and discuss their findings at an upcoming meeting. The BOS agreed to all read the Charter thoroughly and give their collective recommendations at the December 7, 2010 meeting. Prentakis suggested that the Board may want to invite the Town Moderator or other Charter members to the December meeting. Jones responded that she feels the BOS should first have a formal discussion just among the BOS and then invite the Town Moderator and other Charter members at the subsequent meeting. There being no further discussion on the matter of the Town Charter, the discussion ended at 9:30 p.m. Town of Middleton 48 South Main Street, Middleton, MA 01949 Website Disclaimer Privacy Statement Virtual Town Hall Website

The only aspect of Allysen Callery's talents more impressive than her nimble, nylon-string finger-picking is her unmistakable voice. That soft, entrancing falsetto and subtle poetic quips adorn her new album, Hobgoblin's Hat, Callery's sophomore release, which was over two years in the making since her 2007 debut Hopey. The new CD will be available beginning this weekend at her record release party at Church Street Coffeehouse in Warren.
"I had been a little shy about revealing myself fully with Hopey," Callery told me while chatting up the new disc. "With Hobgoblin's Hat I was able to explore deeper and darker memories and feelings.
"Hobgoblin's Hat is more of who I am."
Callery spent time in Taiwan as a toddler during the Vietnam war, and said the effect has stayed with her. She was raised in Providence and now resides in Bristol. Her childhood love of fairy tales and mythology clearly have left an impression. Callery's father played a pivotal role in her musical upbringing and eventual guidance in spirit.
"My dad was really into a wonderful mix of styles, particularly British Isles folk and the Incredible String Band, Joni Mitchell, and the Beatles.
"I picked up guitar when I was 14, my father passed away and I wanted to feel closer to him," Callery told me. "I learned how to play on his Martin Classical."
Myles Baer returns as engineer and producer; Hobgoblin's Hat was recorded at Baer's Fox Point residence. The album title is a nod to one of Callery's favorite authors, Finnish author Tove Jansson, who penned and illustrated The Moomin series and comic strip. Callery is often billed with her music mates as the Land of Nod (a Robert Louis Stevenson poem); she decided to officially form a touring band during a solo show at White Electric.
"I had just been booked to play a show at the Knitting Factory in New York City, so I pretty much pulled Myles and [Nod bassist] Brendan Whipple aside and said, 'Listen, we are going to be a band and we're calling it Land of Nod,' and they just nodded in agreement," Callery said. While Whipple and Baer play on the new album, both gave their blessing to bill Hobgoblin's Hat as an official solo release.
Callery's often entrancing songs are crafted behind a simple premise: "I'll just start fooling around and a little guitar phrase will come out," she said. "I can't actually 'write' music, so I'll run to my computer and just start recording immediately so I don't lose the tune.
"It's important that I am completely alone while writing — not too easy with a family of three in the house." Callery said. As far as lyrics,"Words will just slip out as I'm playing, and on the playback it sounds like I am speaking in tongues."
Callery also incorporates her previously-published poems, including "Vincenzo (Part 1)" and the opening track "Tiny Armageddon," one of Hobgoblin's finest, where she addresses a weary soldier: "What did you see while standing surrounded by death/Curious to step between the bodies and find your own self laid out amongst them."

Cold Blooded Cannibals
Mediterranean islands like this one serve as natural laboratories to demonstrate how resourceful species can be.
The Weather Is Great, But The Neighbors Can Kill You!
Humans flock to Mediterranean islands to enjoy fun in the sun. The cobalt blue waters, the warmth, the food; all interweave together to create a marvelous experience. Just the kind of escape many humans seek from their everyday lives. Of course, humans for the most part can leave the islands anytime they want. These beautiful islands provide a different experience for other animals who wind up on their shores and can't leave so easily.
- Cold Blooded Cannibals at http://vimeo.com/24918263
Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What do mainland lizards around the Mediterranean Sea feed on primarily? How does their diet differ from lizards on islands in the Mediterranean Sea?
- Does this dietary change create problems for the lizards? Why or why not?
- How do lizards act as seed dispersers on Mediterranean islands? Why is this an unusual role for lizards?
- What function does cannibalism serve for these island lizards? Explain your answer as fully as possible and consider the metabolic requirements of these lizards.
- How may the plants on these islands respond if the lizard populations disappear?

In the most reliable pattern found in any market over the past week, the average junk bond yield hit a new all-time record low today (5.233%), beating the previous record (5.289%) set a day ago, which beat the previous record set a day before, and so on. And the average dollar price hit a record-high 106.35 cents on the dollar, per a benchmark Bank of America Merrill Lynch index, beating yesterday's record of 106.17, which had beaten the previous day's record. Nothing else to see here (until tomorrow, of course). Carry on.
