DETROIT (Jan. 20, 2012) -- Attorney Aubrey V. McCutcheon, Jr. and Deacon Robert Brown, trustees of the estate of John Thomas Hall, presented a check in the amount of $56,000 to Wayne State University Law School's Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at the Keith Center during a brief ceremony today.
For more than 50 years, Mr. Hall and Judge Damon J. Keith served the congregation of the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church when it was located at 6125 Beechwood Ave., Detroit, under the pastoral leadership of the late Rev. Dr. Frederick G. Sampson II and the late Rev. Dr. Jesse J. McNeil. Mr. Hall was general superintendent of the Sunday Church School for many years; Judge Keith served as an ordained deacon at the church. A retired U.S. postal worker, Mr. Hall died July 1, 2009, at age 90. He had no survivors.
"I vividly recall the discussion between Mr. Hall and his caregiver, Deacon Emmett Grimmett, when plans for the Keith Center were first disclosed," McCutcheon said. "I know John Hall would be delighted with the building as completed and honored by the knowledge that his contribution will foster the fulfillment of its announced purpose. Mr. Hall greatly admired the contributions of Judge Keith to the church and the community."
"We are very grateful for this most generous donation and delighted that Mr. Hall's personal convictions and respect for Judge Keith will be translated into programs that will carry out his vision for civil rights," said Peter Hammer, professor of law and director of the Keith Center.
The Keith Center honors the life and legacy of Judge Damon J. Keith, civil rights icon, one of our country's leading jurists and a 1956 Wayne Law alumnus. By developing programs and opportunities that promote his vision of equality and justice under the law for all people, the Keith Center is advancing learning at Wayne Law, encouraging community engagement, and promoting civil rights in one of the most culturally rich and diverse cities in the United States.

What you need to know about the flu:
On National Influenza Vaccination Week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides the following information about the flu.
Influenza Disease
1. Influenza (the flu) can be a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Anyone can get sick from the flu.
2. While the flu can make anyone sick, certain people are at greater risk for serious complications from the flu, that can cause hospitalization or even death, including:
a) adults 65 years of age and older
b) children younger than 5, but especially younger than 2 years old
c) people with chronic lung disease (such as asthma and COPD), diabetes (type 1 and 2), heart disease, neurologic conditions, and certain other long-term medical conditions, even if these are well managed
d) those who are morbidly obese (BMI of 40 or greater)
e) pregnant women and women within the first two weeks after delivery (2 weeks post-partum)
f) other groups at increased risk of flu complications are listed at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/high_risk.htm
3. Much of the U.S. population is at increased risk from serious flu complications, either because of their age or because they have a medical condition like asthma, diabetes (type 1 and 2), heart conditions, or because they are pregnant.
a) For example, more than 30 percent of people 50 through 64 years of age have one or more chronic medical conditions that put them at increased risk of serious complications from flu.
b) For example, all children younger than 5 years (and especially children younger than 2 years), and all adults 65 years and older, are at increased risk of serious flu-related complications.
4. Symptoms of influenza can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea.
5. People may be infected with the flu and have no symptoms at all or only respiratory symptoms without a fever.
6. Flu viruses are constantly changing. Each flu season, different flu viruses can spread, and they can affect people differently based on differences in the immune system. Even healthy children and adults can get very sick from the flu.
7. In the United States, thousands of healthy adults and children have to visit the doctor or be hospitalized from flu complications each year. Flu vaccination can help protect you and your family from the flu and its complications.
8. Flu seasons are unpredictable. The severity of influenza seasons can differ substantially from year to year. Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of yearly flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people during the most severe season.
a) Each year in the United States on average: An estimated 5-20 percent of the population can be infected with the flu, and more than 200,000 people may be hospitalized during a flu season.
b) The 2009 H1N1 pandemic is an example of how unpredictable the flu can be. For more information about the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, see http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/.
9. Since 2004-2005, flu-related deaths in children reported to CDC during regular influenza seasons have ranged from 35 deaths (during 2011-2012) to over 165 deaths (during 2012-2013). However, during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, (April 15, 2009 to October 2, 2010), 348 pediatric deaths were reported to CDC.
a. More information about pediatric deaths since the 2004-2005 flu season is available in the interactive pediatric death web application at http://gis.cdc.gov/GRASP/Fluview/PedFluDeath.html.
10. To date, most flu-related pediatric deaths have occurred in children who were not vaccinated against flu.
11. An average of over 200,000 people in the United States are hospitalized each year from flu and its related complications. Older adults, specifically those 65 years of age and older, typically account for about 60% of these flu-related hospitalizations each year and about 90% of flu-related deaths. (Thompson et al JAMA 2004, Dao et al JID 2010; 202(6):881–888)
12. The 2012-2013 season began early, was moderately severe and lasted longer than average compared with previous seasons (see "2012-2013 Flu Season Drawing to a Close" for more information). The 2012-13 season was a reminder of the unpredictability of influenza.
13. It is not possible to predict how mild or severe the 2013-2014 season will be.
1. The first and most important step in protecting against the flu is to get a flu vaccine each season.
2. Everyone 6 months of age and older is recommended to get the 2013-2014 flu vaccine, with rare exceptions.
3. You should get your flu vaccine soon after it becomes available, ideally by October. However, as long as flu viruses are circulating, vaccination should continue throughout the flu season, even in January or later.
4. It's best to get vaccinated before the flu starts to spread in your community. It is not possible to know exactly when the flu season will start each year. While seasonal influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time influenza activity peaks in January or later. Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body that protect against influenza virus infection, it is best that people get vaccinated so they are protected before influenza begins spreading in their community.
5. CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine as the first and best way to protect against influenza. There are two reasons for getting a flu vaccine every year:
6. The first reason is that because flu viruses are constantly changing, flu vaccines may be updated from one season to the next to protect against the viruses research indicates will be most common during the upcoming flu season.
7. The second reason that annual vaccination is recommended is that a person's immune protection from the vaccine declines over time. Annual vaccination is needed for optimal protection.
8. Flu vaccination prevented an estimated 13.6 million flu cases, 5.8 million medical visits and nearly 113,000 flu-related hospitalizations in the United States over a 6-year period (2005-2011), according to a study by CDC experts.

CARY, N.C. --- Top-seeded North Carolina fell to fourth-seeded Miami, 4-3, Saturday afternoon in the semifinals of the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Tennis Championship. Miami won the doubles point and the Tar Heels were unable to overcome that deficit, falling to 25-3 on the year. The Hurricanes, who will face the winner of Florida State and Virginia in Sunday's final, improved to 19-5.
Miami took what proved to be the decisive doubles point with a dramatic comeback on court three and a tiebreak win on court two. Carolina's Gina Suarez-Malaguti and Tessa Lyons raced out to a 5-0 lead on court three only to see Miami's Stephanie Wagner and Brittany Dubins take eight of the final nine games for an 8-6 win.
That left the Tar Heels needing the final two courts, both of which would be decided in a tiebreak. No. 61 Caroline Price and Whitney Kay fell behind 5-2 on court one before winning two straight to get back on serve at 5-4. Miami moved back ahead with another break and had three match points in a marathon game up 7-5. But the Tar Heels saved all three match points and eventually forced a tiebreak.
Meanwhile on court two, Zoe De Bruycker and Ashley Dai led most of the way and had a pair of match points up 7-6. But the Hurricane duo of Kelsey Laurente and Melissa Bolivar saved those and held serve for 7-all. Carolina went on to win the tiebreak on court one, leaving the tiebreak on court two to decide the match. That tiebreak was all Miami, as the Hurricanes won seven straight points to win the match and clinch the doubles point.
Needing four singles wins to advance to the final for the fourth consecutive season, Carolina won the opening set on three of six courts. The Tar Heels got their first point of the day on court six, as freshman Kate Vialle dominated Melissa Bolivar, 6-2, 6-2. The teams traded points on the other two lower courts, as Miami's Clementina Riobueno topped Price on court four before UNC's Lauren McHale finished off Monique Albuquerque on court five. The win was the sixth in a row - all in straight sets - for McHale.
From there the match would be decided on the top three courts, and all three matches would need three sets to find a winner.
On court three, Lina Lileikite took the first set from No. 36 Kay, but the freshman standout rallied from down a break to win the second. Kay served the first game of the first set, and Lileikite scored a break after winning a lengthy game. That gave the momentum to the Miami sophomore, who eventually moved ahead two breaks and held on for a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 victory.
No. 7 Suarez-Malaguti struggled in dropping the opening set to No. 60 Wagner, but the ACC Player of the Year righted the ship in the second set to stay in the match. The Pembroke Pines, Fla., senior got the key break of the third set to go ahead 3-1 and finished it off, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, to tie the dual at 3.
The final match remaining was No. 44 De Bruycker and No. 91 Laurente on court two. De Bruycker won four straight games in the first set to come from 5-3 down to take the opener, 7-5. But Laurente quickly evened the match with a 6-1 win in set two, and the two faced off for a third set to decide the overall winner. Down a break at 4-3 in the third, De Bruycker got the break back to briefly even the set at 4. Laurente responded by breaking at love, however, and served out the final set to win 5-7, 6-1, 6-4, and put Miami into the final.
Carolina will now await its selection into the NCAA Championship. The selection show for the team event is set for Tuesday, April 30, at 5:30 p.m. and will be available live at NCAA.com.
No. 10 Miami 4, No. 2 North Carolina 3
1. #61 Price/Kay (UNC) def. Riobueno/Albuquerque (UM), 9-8
2. Laurente/Bolivar (UM) def. De Brucyker/Dai (UNC), 9-8

Ok the time is here to start playing with this sexy HIC I have. (IC).
Im making a face mold right now, and its about done. Im going to do them in a lightweight polyu. Shipping should be really cheap.
I dont know the cost, Probably somewhere in the $50 price range. Im not doing a run at the moment because someone has already beat me to them in the cargo hold.
I am however guaging interest in a FULL FRONTAL
I am contemplating doing it in multiple fashions. One a lightweight polyu. in three pieces that can be seamed together.
I will probably cast them as one piece, then cut them in places where the details will not get destroyed.
I also have tossed around the idea of a hard rubber HIC. That way it could be shipped cheap and easy and never worry about breaking.
The third idea is a smaller sub three piece. Face, Hands, Torso. The rest can be made pretty easily.
Finally perhaps the control boxes on the sides seperately.
Now, pricing? Thats a tough one. The silicone is going to be PRICY as this piece is 6'4'' tall. Im only going to mold the front/textured part.
I want to backfill the voids with hardening foam to make it much more robust without adding shipping weight.
Individuals could either:
A hang it on the wall/door
B build a box and make a complete
So, with that being said, your thoughts? Interest?

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Home runs were the theme of the night at Anderson Stadium as the No. 25 Tar Heels took down James Madison 6-0 and 5-3 in doubleheader contests.
Kristen Brown hit a three-run homer in each game, as her walk-off long ball in game two helped UNC secure a second victory. Haleigh Dickey's solo shot in game one gave her the Carolina career record for home runs.
Lori Spingola earned both wins as the Tar Heels improved to 28-13 (6-3) on the season.
Watch highlights of game one here and game two here.
After three quick scoreless frames, Amber Parrish drew a walk in the fourth, and Tisha Mahon advanced to second pinch running for Parrish. A double to right center by Kristen Brown scored Mahon to put the Tar Heels on the board. Amy Nece followed with a single to right field, advancing to second on the throw, while scoring Brown to give UNC the 2-0 lead.
In the fifth, Haleigh Dickey recorded her 39th career home run with a solo shot to right center, setting a new Carolina career record. The previous mark was 38, set by 2012 graduate Kelli Wheeler. Parrish followed with a double to left, and after a JMU pitching change, she advanced to third on a single by Constance Orr. Up 3-0, Brown homered to center field to bring in three additional runs.
Lori Spingola pitched the complete game, giving up three hits and one walk while fanning seven.
James Madison came on strong in the second game, as Morgan Heath led off with a double to right center and advanced to third on a single by Jasmine Butler. Sarah Mooney singled to center, driving in Heath and Butler to put the Dukes up two runs in the first inning.
The Tar Heels tied it up in the second, as Jenna Kelly reached first on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on an infield single by Mahon. Kati Causey reached first on an error, driving in the first UNC run. A bunt single by Aquilla Mateen scored Mahon to even the score.
JMU's Megan Shinaberry hit a solo home run to left center gave the Dukes the lead in the fourth inning.
After two scoreless innings, the Tar Heels trailed going into their last at-bat. Parrish singled up the middle, and Nece came in to pinch run. Lauren Fuller reached on a fielder's choice, advancing Nece to second and then third on a throwing error. With two runners on base, Brown hit her second three-run homer over center field for the walk-off win.
Ashley Bone pitched six innings for the Tar Heels, giving up seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts. Spingola came in for the final innings, striking out one and giving up one hit to take the win.
ACC play resumes when UNC hosts Virginia April 6 and 7 for a three- game series, all to be shown live on ESPN3. The Tar Heels close out their 10-game home stand as they host Elon next Wednesday, April 10, at 6 p.m.

Hey Guys
The snows are moving in massive flocks right now. I was able to pull a flock in 20 minutes south east is of Andrew Alberta.
I figure the flock probably had 1500 birds. Anyways we sat tight until they were right on top of us. 3 rounds later I was 1 short of my limit. The shortest hunt I have ever been on.
I have seen other flocks flying high so I would expect that they will be hitting the border soon. We are expecting cooler weather in the next few evenings that should push them south.

As Apple announces it has sold more than 2 million iPads (no indication of US/global split), would-be competitors are unveiling their tablets at Computex in Taiwan. With so many products in the mix (and so few on the market), it can be hard for a product strategist to keep up with it all. So here's Forrester's quick guide to the tablets that are taking on Apple in the near future (note: this list doesn't include devices that may have a tablet form factor but are primarily eBook readers, such as Acer's planned 7" Android tablet. It also excludes tablets that are more rumor than reality. And I know just by putting together this list I will leave some off, and if that's the case leave a comment and tell me which ones you think I should add. Okay, enough caveats!):

I love the random dungeons and loot gathering of those games. Simple compared to most MMOs. Fun to play. I'm excited for Black Desert Online, but that's miles away. And it's not particuarly a Action RPG.
I've played Path of Exile, Vindictus, among other MMOs/Online RPGs throughout the years. But I'm sure I've missed a few, I've been coming to this forum for like 4+ years? Half Lurker, half poster.
Also, ,please no item shops that are pay to win but rather pay to sexy.

Wojciech Szczesny insists Arsenal should fear no-one right now.
The Polish No 1 kept a clean sheet on Tuesday night as the Gunners battled to a goalless draw against Marseille at Emirates Stadium to keep themselves firmly in control of Champions League Group F.
Arsenal are currently enjoying a six-match unbeaten run in all competitions - winning eight of their last 10 - and the 21-year-old believes the team should be confident against anybody.
"The spirit within the team is very positive and we are very confident going into every single game," said Szczesny. "We feel like we have what it takes to win every game and I am sure we can keep it going.
"I would have preferred a 1-0 win. But if you told me beforehand that we would get four points from the two games against Marseille and not concede I would have taken it. I'm pleased with the result.
"It's always difficult in the Champions League because you have to play against top, top opponents but I am confident we can keep our form going and get the results to qualify for the next stage."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I could never find any info regarding this product, so I thought I'd provide my input for any others thinking of using this product. Short and sweet: I would not use this product again, nor recommend it to anyone, unless you were in a complete pinch, could find nothing else, and were unable to mix your own. I've used this product twice (giving it the benefit of the doubt) on two different tents, each time with the same result. It goes on clear and predominantly dries white. The majority of the… Full review
Gear Aid Sil Net Silicone Seam Sealer
Sil Net is a silicone seam sealer made by McNett outdoors in Bellingham, Washington. The tube I have is 1.5 oz and comes in a squeeze tube similar to toothpaste. I first used SilNet to seal the seam on the tarp I use for my hammock. The product comes with a brush that is used to lightly apply the product to the seam. It seems easy enough. However, more is not better! I quickly learned that a little of this product goes a long way. That's good because one tube will last you a long time. Applying… Full review
Coghlan's Water-Based Seam Seal
Bought this seam sealer because I do things on the cheaper side. Within the first year it was pealing off. Plus it dried white in color. I applied it to a newer tent that never leaked. So I can't say how good it worked. But pealing off within the first year turned me off. I'll keep making my own seam sealer! Full review
Gear Aid Seam Grip
This stuff works well and does what its suppose to. The only drawback that I can see with it is that after your tent sits all winter rolled up in the stuff sack (like you're not suppose to do anyway) it tends to stick to itself a little bit, but it is not sticky to the touch. I have used it with a makeshift patch on the floor of a tent and on a small tarp and both have lasted well and not leaked at all. I rated it as a 4 because it stuck to itself after sitting and it takes a while to dry. It is… Full review

By Megan Walsh, GoHeels.com
Following North Carolina's victory last Thursday at Virginia, the realization sank in for UNC's senior class. Saturday's matchup against Maryland will be the last time Tar Heel football seniors will play in both a North Carolina uniform and in Kenan Stadium.
"It really did (sink in) and I'm really trying to focus on not letting it hit me too hard too soon," senior offensive guard Jonathan Cooper said. "I'm trying to focus on each one of these days and try to enjoy myself because I know my time is coming to an end."
But before Cooper and his teammates don their graduation robes, they have one thing left to accomplish on the football field: another win. Taking a victory against the Terrapins would push North Carolina to an 8-4 season with a 5-3 record in the ACC. It would also give UNC a share of the Coastal Division title.
"Our guys understand that first of all it's the opportunity to get number eight and again building on the legacy that these seniors want to leave of when a team comes in here to the Tar Pit, how hard it is to play," coach Larry Fedora said.
"Our guys want to win this football game and also if we take care of our business then there's a chance that we will have reached our goal as far as Coastal Division champs."
The Tar Heels are focusing all their attention on achieving those goals. With one more win left to accomplish, the determination behind this one is to dedicate it to the senior class. Along with standout players like Cooper, linebacker Kevin Reddick, kicker Casey Barth, defensive tackle Sylvester Williams and others, UNC will honor 17 seniors in Saturday's effort.
After those seniors opted out of a free opportunity to leave the team following NCAA sanctions and returned to Chapel Hill, quarterback Bryn Renner said that makes this final game even more meaningful.
"It's an emotional time," Renner said. "We've worked many hours and worked really hard this summer to prepare for this season, and we're just going to try to enjoy the time we have. It's going to be really just time to reflect and a good time to have with these seniors. It's going to be a big day for them. We really just want to send them out on a good note."
Cooper echoed those sentiments. He added that he can move on without playing a bowl game because the real impact of playing his final game for UNC comes with playing one final time alongside his teammates.
"I want to win the game on senior night, play to the best of my ability and win as a team," Cooper said. "If I cry, don't cry too hard. I can't imagine (what I'll be feeling). I really can't imagine. It's just going to be a rush and a mix of so many emotions. I feel like I'll be super excited, but sad it's over, but it is what it is."

« more RISD stories
As demand grows for architecture that addresses issues of conservation and sustainability, RISD's Interior Architecture Department is continuing to emphasize low energy use as an integral part of its program. "It's not about simply tacking on green ornaments, but about smart design from square one," explains Assistant Professor Markus Berger. "It's part of the complete design philosophy."One example of this philosophy is the graduate seminar Passive Solar Design, in which students explore contemporary environmental concerns through a focus on energy-conscious architecture. In spring 2008 the seminar was co-taught by Berger, who holds a degree from (Technische Universitat Wien), Austria, and Kurt Teichert, a critic in Interior Architecture and a lecturer in Environmental Studies and the manager of Environmental Stewardship Initiatives at Brown University.Although simple approaches such as effective daylighting and the creation of good thermal envelopes have been common in European architecture since the 1990s, green architecture is just now coming to the fore in the US. Several factors contribute to this development, including rising energy costs and a cultural shift away from conspicuous consumption. "Economic viability and greenness are converging," says Teichert, "and American building codes are shifting to more stringent energy requirements and offering clearer guidance on good design."In the seminar, students studied significant solar structures built over the span of the last 2,400 years and visited several local sites, including Brown's Urban Environmental Laboratory, which houses the Center for Environmental Studies. They then focused on designing passive solar solutions for a specific building, including a Habitat for Humanity house, several 19th-century mills and office buildings, the Providence Train Station, and a men's dormitory at the Okamura Printing Company near Nara, Japan.After analyzing site conditions (such as solar orientation and prevailing winds) along with materials and uses, students proposed such modifications as improvements in natural lighting and ventilation, the cultivation of moss on exterior walls to provide insulation and water retention, the installation of photovoltaic panels to convert the sun's energy into electricity, and the reuse of gray water for drip irrigation systems.Interior Architecture major Karen Schaub feels the class will directly influence her professional work. "This course has reinforced my belief that I need to carry these principles forward as an assumption and a necessity," she says. "The conversation [with a client] starts with the understanding that design simply works better with sustainability in mind."Related links:Markus BergerTU WienKurt TeichertUrban Environmental Laboratorytags: academic collaborations, adaptive reuse, Brown, technology, graduate, interdisciplinary, local/global, partnerships + collaborations, Interior Architecture, public engagement, research, STEAM, students, sustainability

Posted by Eve Maler on December 31, 2012
It has finally become hip not just to predict the demise of passwords, but to call for their elimination. The recent Wired article makes an eloquent case about the vulnerabilities that even "strong" passwords are subject to, such as social engineering and outright theft. And strength is, of course, relative and subject to degradation: The latest computer hardware can make short work of cracking more-complex secrets.
It's true: Static shared secrets are sitting ducks. But passwords are too useful to go away entirely, both because it's handy to be able to synchronize authenticator data between cooperating systems (and people), and because people find using passwords to be less invasive, fiddly, or personally identifying than a lot of other options. So I don't buy the whole "the era of passwords is over" thing. They will be at least one important element of authentication strategies for the foreseeable future -- it's a rare multi-factor authentication strategy that doesn't include a password or PIN somewhere along the line as one of the "things you know."
So, if that's our reality, let's think outside the box in using them. In talking with Mike Gualtieri recently as part of his TechnoPolitics podcast series, I mentioned a few ideas. I had thought of these as pet password peeves, but on the cusp of 2013, why not be positive and think of them as resolutions?

|Fiscal Impact of Financial and Housing Rescue Measures
|Bernanke Endorses 2d Stimulus Measure
|Summary of FY 2009 Fiscal Stop-Gap Measure

Sept. 19: 2008: Treasury Dept. announces it will provide guarantees for money market mutual funds
Sept. 20, 2008: Bush Administration proposes $700 billion financial rescue package
Sept. 29, 2008: House defeats $700 billion financial rescue legislation
Sept. 30, 2008: President signs stopgap funding measure (HR 2638) that includes full-year appropriations for the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs; continues funding for other programs at last year's levels through March 6, 2009; and includes a $25 billion loan to the auto industry.
Oct. 1: Senate passes revised financial rescue legislation including increase in FDIC insurance, renewable energy incentives, AMT relief, tax extenders, and disaster relief (HR1424) JCT CBO
Oct. 3: House passes and President signs financial rescue package
Oct. 14: Treasury announces it will use $250 billion (of the appropriated $700 billion) to purchase stock in major banks AND Treasury releases final deficit figure for FY 2008: $455 billion.
Oct. 20: Fed Chairman Bernanke endorses, in principle, enactment of a second economic stimulus bill
Click here for an overview and timeline of: the July 30th housing rescue legislation; the September 7th seizure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; the October 3rd passage of the $700 billion financial rescue package; and the October 14th Treasury announcement of Federal plans to buy equity in America's major banks.
The Concord Coalition's overview of the crisis also addresses the budget impact of the recent measures. While there is no way at this juncture to make an accurate projection of the FY 2009 deficit, it is fair to say that it will exceed $750 billion--as estimated by CBO Director Orszag--and could go higher than $1 trillion.
Adding to the complexity, OMB and CBO may score various actions differently. For example, CBO will incorporate the financial activities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the FY 2009 Federal Budget, whereas the current OMB Director, Jim Nussle, has said OMB will not do so (although this could change under the new Administration).
Regardless of how the FY 2009 and 2010 annual deficits are calculated, the real impact on the U.S. economy can best be measured by examining increases in the federal debt--the amount of money the Federal government has to borrow to finance Fannie and Freddie, and the financial rescue plan.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told the House Budget Committee at an October 20, 2008 hearing it is "appropriate" for Congress to consider a second stimulus measure to boost the economy.
"With the economy likely to be weak for several quarters, and with some risk of a protracted slowdown, consideration of a fiscal package by the Congress at this juncture seems appropriate," Bernanke told the Committee.
Other Highlights of Bernanke's Testimony:
--"Even before the recent intensification of the financial crisis, economic activity had shown considerable signs of weakening. In the labor market, private employers shed 168,000 jobs in September, bringing the total job loss in the private sector since January to nearly 900,000. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate, at 6.1 percent in September, has risen 1.2 percentage points since January. Incoming data on consumer spending, housing, and business investment have all showed significant slowing over the past few months, and some key determinants of spending have worsened: Equity and house prices have fallen, foreign economic growth has slowed, and credit conditions have tightened."
--"Should the Congress choose to undertake fiscal action, certain design principles may be helpful....Any fiscal package should be well-targeted....Any program should be designed, to the extent possible, to limit longer-term effects on the federal government's structural budget deficit....If the Congress proceeds with a fiscal package, it should consider including measures to help improve access to credit by consumers, homebuyers, businesses, and other borrowers. Such actions might be particularly effective at promoting economic growth and job creation."
[Background: The first economic stimulus bill this year was signed into law on February 13, 2008 and cost $152 billion (HR 5140). The bipartisan package provided tax rebates for individuals and business incentives.
The House of Representatives passed a second $61 billion economic stimulus bill (HR 7110) in late September. However, a similar bill (S. 3604) failed in the Senate when proponents fell 8 votes short of the 60 votes needed to shut down a Republican filibuster. The President had threatened to veto both the House and Senate bills. Veto threat: House Bill Veto Threat: Senate bill
Both stimulus bills would have extended unemployment benefits, and provided funding for infrastructure projects, state Medicaid programs, and food stamps.]
It is also likely that proponents of a new stimulus bill will seek aid for the States.Bernanke October 20 Testimony
On September 30th, President Bush signed into law a funding measure (HR 2638) to keep the government operating into the new fiscal year -- FY 2009 -- which began October 1st.
The measure is actually a hybrid of an "omnibus" appropriations bill and a "continuing resolution":
--it includes detailed, full-year appropriations measures for the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs; and
--it includes stopgap funding through March 6, 2009 for Health and Human Services (HHS), and all other departments and agencies of government, at FY 2008 levels.
The stopgap provision does not provide inflation adjustments for the covered agencies.However, some specific programs did receive increases: the low income home energy assistance program (LIHEAP) received a $2.5 billion increase over '08; Pell Grants for higher education received $2.5 billion over '08; and the WIC program received $1 billion over '08 to assist with nutrition for new mothers and their children.
The bill includes a part-year extension of the Federal flood insurance program, which has been caught in a battle over whether to forgive the program's $17.5 billion debt without offsetting the costs, as required under PAYGO.
While there was no formal passage or House-Senate conference on the three full-year bills, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees informally "pre-conferenced" the measures.
In addition, the bill also includes $23 billion for disaster relief, and authorizes $25 billion in loans to the auto industry to retool and develop more fuel efficient vehicles.
This year's appropriations process was one of the worst on record in terms of following the regular order, Only one of twelve appropriations bill made it to the House Floor during the 2008 session. There are two reasons for the disruptions in the regular process:
First, President Bush threatened to veto any appropriations bills that exceed his request, and Democrats--as reflected in the Budget Resolution--called for nearly $25 billion more than the President requested. From Democrats' perspective, if they wait until after the presidential election to make FY '09 funding decisions, they may be working with a Democratic President. As reported by Congressional Quarterly, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said recently, "I hope we would do a continuing resolution until after Sen. Obama becomes President."Second, House Republicans were attempting to amend appropriations bills with off-shore oil drilling amendments, strongly opposed by many Democrats. On June 26, House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-WI) suspended markup of the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill when Republicans attempted to substitute drilling language for the labor, health, and education provisions. However, in the end Democrats yielded on the drilling issue and let an annual ban on offshore drilling expire as of September 30, 2008.

Nominations come from the head coaches and the media relations staff; recipients are voted on by the head coaches and senior leadership team.
As the lone senior on the 2011 volleyball squad, Katelyn Steffan switched to the left side and completely transformed her game, averaging 3.71 kills, 4.47 points and 0.94 blocks per set. The figures ranked first, second and 10th, respectively, in the Mountain West. Her performance led to CSU's third consecutive Mountain West title and the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Rams finished the year with a record of 24-6 and ranked No. 25 in the nation. Steffan was named the Mountain West Volleyball Player of the Year and conference tournament MVP. Additionally, she was a 2011 AVCA All-American. After the conclusion of the season, she was also tabbed as the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame's College Female Athlete of the Year and was honored at a banquet alongside former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin, among others.

Jesse Carr was selected as the 2012 recipient of the Merrill-Gheen Award, for his efforts on the hardwood and in the classroom. A key contributor for Colorado State's men's basketball team, Carr played in all 32 games for the Rams in 2011-12, making five starts, and averaging 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, while dishing out a team-leading 86 assists and shooting better than 43 percent from beyond the arc. Carr also excels in the classroom where he has maintained a 3.722 cumulative grade-point average as a Business Administration major.
Mencimer Memorial Award – Nicole Peters (Women's Cross Country/Track & Field)
The Mencimer Memorial Award was established in 1976 and is presented annually to the most outstanding female scholar-athlete. The award is based on academic excellence and athletic achievement. Some previous winners include April Thomas, Liz Toman, Shelly Greathouse (Borrman) and Katherine Whitney. The award is voted on by the senior leadership team upon recommendations by the Athletic Academic Services staff.
Nicole Peters graduated from Colorado State University with an impressive 3.842 grade-point average, earning her degree in Natural Resources Management, while making a name for herself as one of the program's most successful runners. Peters earned second-team All-America accolades for her 12th place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2012 NCAA championships in June, capping her spectacular career at CSU. Earlier in the year she was awarded all-region honors for her 15th place finish in the NCAA Mountain Regional. Peters placed first at the Wyoming Invitational and was the top finisher among CSU runners in four out of six races during the 2011 cross country campaign. She received three all-conference awards during the 2011-12 season, capturing the conference championship in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, a second-place finish in the 3,000-meter run, and a third-place finish in the 5,000 meters at the MW indoor and outdoor championships. The Houston, Texas, native set school records in the indoor 3,000-meter run at 9:27.18; and the outdoor 5,000-meter run at 16.12.02, breaking the previous record by more than eight seconds. She was also named to the USTFCCCA all-academic team, one of only 29 female athletes in Division I track and field to receive the honor.
"Fum" McGraw Award – Chris Nwoke (Football)
The "Fum" McGraw Award was established in 2002 following McGraw's death and is presented annually to the CSU student-athlete who best exemplifies academic and athletic excellence, character, leadership, service, and Ram pride. Other winners have included Jeff Horinek, Jason Smith, Loree Smith, Angela Knopf and David Anderson. The award is selected by the senior leadership team upon recommendations from head coaches, senior staff and academic services.
CSU running back Chris Nwoke is the 2012 recipient of the award.

Keli McGregor Award – Greg Myers (Football)
The McGregor Award was first presented in 2010. The award recognizes the characteristics that best defined McGregor's legacy as an All-America tight end and outstanding student at CSU (1980-84). McGregor went on to achieve professional success as an NFL player and as an administrator in both intercollegiate and professional sports, including nine years as the President of the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club, prior to his untimely death in 2010. The award recognizes an outstanding former CSU student-athlete based on post-graduation accomplishments. It is selected by the senior leadership team of the Athletic Department with recommendations from head coaches, senior staff and alumni/development staff.
A former All-America defensive back and Jim Thorpe Award Winner for the Rams, Greg Myers was the first player in WAC history to earn first-team all-conference honors in four consecutive years (1992-95). Myers, a member of the CSU Athletics Hall of Fame (2001) and the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame (2012), was selected in the fifth round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. He played for both the Bengals and Dallas Cowboys during a five-year NFL career. He earned his bachelor's degree in biological sciences with a minor in anatomy from Colorado State in 1996, and completed his completed his M.D. in 2006. Now an anesthesiologist at Denver Health Medical Center, Myers was selected in May for enshrinement in the College Football Hall of Fame, and will be inducted Dec. 4 in New York, N.Y.

Just wondering something:
I've seen a couple of other mfr's for chest lights lately, and they've received pretty long lists of interested buyers. The set I designed has been around for nearly 3 years now, and I still get the occasional e-mail/PM asking for help to build them (since I offered up the schematics for DIYers), as well as questions about ordering a set from me. Honestly, with the creation of the new light sets from others, I figured demand for mine would die down to the point where I couldn't justify having more boards etched.
Now, the question is this ... are there enough people still interested in the "ShackMan chest lights" to do another batch run? I dropped the price to $90 plus shipping a while back, to finish off the few boards I had left. Now that I'm down to one or two boards, I've been receiving e-mails about them again. If I did a bulk run, and offered them for say $80 + shipping, how many would be interested? Again, this is to gauge interest only. Due to unemployment, I can't front money for parts or board manufacturing like I used to. I'm just checking to see if there are enough interested in "this old set" (at a reduced price) to justify having more made.
P.S. Special thanks to all those who have purchased the lights over the past 3 years! Until you design/sell a part, you can't describe the feeling of seeing your work being displayed by others (such as at cons).

overreacting! overreacting! overreacting!
I don't understand how a Pistons fan would root against the team making the playoffs. How many free agents will want to go to a team that can't even make the playoffs in the crappy Eastern Conference?
How many FA's will want to go to a team that gets embarrassed by the Cavs ? Either way IMO it's a bad situation. But I also think this season is a complete aberration and most of the FA's know that. I root for it for my own sanity. I really don't want a repeat of Game 6 vs the Cavs over and over. It's not that i think we suck that bad, i just know that Curry will ensure that we do.
FAs may not want to come here for a variety of reasons, but unless they want to go to LA or perhaps Boston, anybody else will also get embarrassed by the Cavs.
Good advice MC! Rip was out. Who exactly were those scorers that WB should have been deferring to? What a fun game that turned into. It was getting pretty dull by the end of the 3rd and it really looked like we were on the verge of going into a tailspin... in the game and on the season. It would be a monumental disaster for a team this good to miss the playoffs. It is a true measuring stick and it is necessary to go through it, even if it is an embarrassing loss, in order to figure out what is needed for next year.
It is good to make the playoffs so that you can evaluate your team. It keeps up the continuity of the organization. The youth will be tested and have to perform. Some will and some won't. Joe can then respond accordingly in the summer, bring in help and trade away players who do not meet expectations. The season wasn't an aberration and that why it is critical that the above process take place. The Pistons either revamp or the decline due to our aging bigs will continue. The free agents will come to the Pistons because the Piston's have the money. Money talks above all else. The Piston brand name may be a bit of a sell but the money is what counts.
I agree with you on the playoffs.
You don't think it would be good for our young guys to get a taste of playoff action....even if it is quick and ugly?
Realistically we are probably not going to be serious contenders for a couple more playoffs so - better get used to it.
If we had a young team on the verge on growing into something better I think it would be good. For example, I'm thinking of the Doug Collins teams that were trying to find their identity as a team. They were a team that had just drafted Hill the year before and won 28 games. Then in Collins first two years they win 46 and 54. First year they get swept in the first round but you have to feel like they are building toward the future...so you feel good about it. The second year they improve a little bit more. But now we have a poorly coached team that has no identity and doesn't seem to be building any identity. They are on their way down. I just can't see the benefit of this once elite team getting humiliated in the first round of the playoffs.
We are still dangerous enough and can play good enough defense to pull off an upset if we get some momentum. Beating the Cavs in the first round this year would almost be as satisfying as winning a Title in previous years. For some reason though, I think the ref's calls would trend toward infinitely ludicrous the closer we get to achieving that. It's like trying to break the speed of light when your mass keeps increasing.
IMO, this would also further re-enforce the distinction that we are on a down trend. The Cavs are a team that we've been close to in seeding and competitive with (or better than) for the past few years. Also i agree with the identity thing. While i would love to think of the PO's as a tool for the young guys to get experience and the team to "come together", i'm not buying it. This has been a trying year, and Curry will allocate the majority minutes to the veterans anyway so it's not really worth it. We aren't going to see the young bigs getting a real taste of the PO's, but rather the depressing sight of Dyess putting his heart on the floor and us still losing. The only person who will get significant PO minutes/experience is Stuck and he looks like he's in desperate need of time off.
I can only think of one, Allen Iverson and I don't see him signing here. I am with you on the playoffs. $5 in cap space and the last pick in the lottery can work wonders someone's imagination.
Ah yes Detroit native Denise Nicholas
I am thinking we not only get in the playoffs and show some pride, but comntinue to shoot for the seventh spot as a first round upset of the Celtics or Magic is more of a possiblity than the Cavs...as KG is still hurting and we are still in the Magics head.
Bingo.... they need to get there feet wet.... Also, wouldn't it be best to see how the coach adjusts from game to game in a series.... that would help Joe see if he needs to pull the plug faster or slower.
Curry needs the experience more than anyone else.
yeah Bill ...Playoff expirience relly helped out Malone, Barkley and Stockton! heeheehee
It would really be something that he could look back fondly upon when he's assistant coach for the Clippers in 2011.
delete your PM's goofball! anyway,,,check Tigers area on MLBTv options....sheesh!what a way 2 leave a message.

Vetter Denk Architects has taken the post-industrial town of Green Bay, Wis., by storm. Block upon block of prime waterfront footage, a marvelous working river—"urban theater like you wouldn't believe," says John Vetter, AIA—and the city had turned its back on it. Green Bay is the state's third-largest city, and yet there was no for-sale housing downtown until recently, when the firm put together, pro bono, a boardwalk plan for residential, retail, and civic spaces. "Planning department [officials were] looking for commercial venues, but we convinced them that homes were their first ingredient," Vetter says.
Vetter and fellow Milwaukee native Kelly Denk, AIA, started out doing design/build some 20 years ago. They used the construction process to inform their design work, creating clean-lined, site-specific houses that are knit with nature. "We began to see the power that appropriate architecture can have on people's lives," Vetter says, "and translating that to the urban condition was compelling to us." The firm eventually stopped building its projects, but winning a design competition for Milwaukee's Beerline neighborhood eight years ago propelled them into development. Located on the Milwaukee River, Beerline's condos, row houses, and single-family homes are designed to attract an economically diverse group of buyers, ranging in price from $140,000 to well over $1 million.
The firm has work under way in downtown Sheboygan, Wis., too, converting the historic C. Reiss Coal Co. building into condos and lofts. But it is the Green Bay project that Vetter is most excited about. The partners have rights to develop a four-block area, which will include rental loft units built with affordable tax credits, a hotel, and a children's museum that had been slated for relocation out of town. The Astor Place condos, ranging in price from $165,000 to $800,000, are smartly designed, with good ventilation, 35-foot-long terraces on some units, and materials that mix the rough and refined. "People who want to live downtown are looking for something more playful and inventive," Vetter says. "It's more about where the city is going than where it's been."
verbatim what drew you to this path? "We are drawn to the rich diversity, vitality, and energy that we find in urban environments. In particular, the neglected or forgotten areas of cities attract us because we are able to make a greater impact on a local economy and community. Being our own developer allows us to get the job accomplished—and to a higher standard."
what were you doing 10 years ago? "We were focused on the single-family residential market from a turnkey master builder standpoint."
what do you hope to have achieved 10 years from now? "We want to help create urban neighborhoods that have the live/work/play dynamic. The skew we'd like to put on that is environmental awareness and the potential for mass customization, creating affordability but not having it all stamped out."

LED rock lights...
By the time you finish these, it's probably easier to just buy the damn kit from roundeyes... but that is not as much fun
First things first... you need some LED's.
How about some 3w Cree P4 XR-E's?
Here is a 5 pack for $21 shipped.
I ordered 6 total, I really need 8. I will have to work that out later.
Ok, here we go.
These LED's and stars get REALLY hot. They need a heat sink to properly cool, I figured I would make my housings thick enough to not have to worry about it.
This is a 2.5" wide chuck of aluminum drop from the local metal supply. It's .250 thick. I cut it to widths of about 1.25.
Milled a 7/8" hole just under 3/16" deep... I am not a machinist, so we are defiantly not talking in thousands here.
Milled a channel for the wires, and drilled some mounting holes.
Drilled and tapped some holes for the cover.
My test pieces, one clear, one I scuffed with 80 grit to try and get some diffusion.
Have a gap issue since the emitter sticks above the aluminum a little still.
Hard to tell in this picture, but I drilled a dome on the inside of the lens for the emitter to sit in, lens now sits flush.
It's a lot easier to see what is going on with a camera... when I took this picture the shop lights were on, and I still couldn't look at the damn thing. I am driving it with a 6v AC adapter for testing.
Test on the Cruiser since it was handy
Clear lens.
Diffused lens. The camera changed the shutter speed on this picture. While the diffused lens does spread out the light slightly better, it is not brighter like this picture would make it appear.
That's it for now. I need to get some heat transfer paste, then I can epoxy the stars to the heat sinks and finish up the final lenses.
I'm driving them with a board that General Lee built for me, you can use resistors if you want as well... a driver board is just way more efficiant and better for the LED's.
I only had him build it for 6 LED's though.. so I kind of shot myself in the foot on that one.

A word on using LED's. Brian has incandescent driving lights on his FJ-40. He uses 6, one under each wheel well, one in the front and one in the rear. This lights up almost everything under his rig and them some. It's got a great throw.
To have comparable illumination under my rig I will need to run 8 LEDs. One under each wheel well, one above each slider, and one in the front and rear. This still will not throw as far as a 55watt driving light.
The benefit to using LED's is size, life, and power draw.
While 6 55watt driving lights will draw 23 amps at 14 volts.
8 3w LED's will draw almost an 8th of that depending on the driver.

Are those waterproof and sealed and :chiefwoohaw:? I can't believe how bright those puppies are. I would love to get some of those for interior lights on the YJ.
|March 18th, 2008, 08:31 AM

They will be sealed when I run a bead of silicon inside the lenses when I finally assemble them.
|March 18th, 2008, 08:36 AM
Covered in mud...
For interior lighting, they work well.
My experience is the same as ME, that 8 is the magic number, for that size part (a P4 bin is 80 lumens @ 350mA).
I'm building a new set with Endor stars (3 x 80Lm on each star), so I might get away with 6 on the new vehicle.
I will post a schematic of a constant-current power source you can make for $10 with a few radio shack parts.
A few tips if someone is making these:
1) check your part datasheet, to make sure the thermal-core PCB is electrically isolated. On single LED boards, is sometimes isn't isolated, which shoudl short if you screw the aluminum to the frame
2) Use some computer heatsink compound behind the star to get a few thermal transfer to the aluminum.
3) If you don't have a mill, buy 'gem jars' on ebay, they are little flat glass/plastic jars that you can get dirt cheap, they make nice lenses.
I think the next thing I'm looking for, is better diffuser material. LEDs like this are lambertian emitters, usually 90 to 120 degree, but most of the light is in about a +/- 30* cone.
Looks nice! I liked the milled flatbar idea. I'll have to try some different diffusion material I have here at work for some tests.

If you feel the need for spending lots of cash, check these out (I'm using a cheaper version of this...)
One of these = 7 cree P4s...
|March 18th, 2008, 08:56 AM
I <3 Miatas
Those are still way to expensive for me... I remember when the P4's were almost as much though.

IMHO, JCR should offer the parts you made for sale.
I do not need "rock lights" per se, but I would run the six around the underside of my pickup camper so I can see better setting up at night and maneuvering around the campsite looking for a place to pee.
|March 18th, 2008, 09:06 AM

(quick note on LEDs: When the manufacture them, they are all measured, then sorted by color, brightness, and sometimes voltage drop. They call these bins. For cree's, P4 is the intensity bin for that part. A P5 would be brighter with the same current, a P3 would be dimmer).
I use the 240 lumen ones from this company:
But I will run them at 700mA, so they'll be equivelent to 6 of the P4s....

Nice work Daryl!
Just to give some more info on the boards I'm working on and the advantages thereof (shameless plug, I know...):
The board I designed for Daryl is a 500mA model capable of powering 6 LEDs on 13.5ish volts. (I am currently working on a 2A model.)
The advantages to this board over using resistors to set current are HUGE.
First off, the principal behind a resistor is to set a current based on an assumed consistent voltage. If you have 14 volts and your LED drops 3.7 volts (14-3.7 = 10.3 volts left over). If you want 1A, lets say, you need a resistance such that 10.3/R = 1 or a 10.3 ohm resistor. The resistor wastes 10.3 watts PER LED while in use, AND, if, for any reason, your voltage spikes, your current will also spike (since your resistor can't adjust for the change). This could possibly result in a blown LED...and they're expensive.
Also, with resistors, you miss out on a plethora of functionality that could be utilized better with a driver board.
The board I designed for daryl burns approximately 3 Watts Total MAX. It can also handle voltages up to 18V for a couple of minutes and spikes up to 40V for a few ms.
Plus I added a 8.5 Hz strobe for fun (I can also add dimmers/patterns/whatever).
Here is a little video of the functionality (Sorry, the quality isn't the best, and I didn't have a switch, so I had to just touch the bare wires together):
The LEDs in that video were also weaker than the ones that Daryl purchased.
I'm thinking about starting some side businesses with some minor electronics, and, provided I had enough people interested, that would be a featured product.
Also, as a side note, we were trashing a bunch of these heat sinks at work, so I saved them from the trash can:
These are light weight aluminum and would work well for this type of application (if you needed something more lightweight). (You'd have to cut the channel for the TO-220 off to use them with the LEDs, but it'd be easy to modify).
I'll be sure to get a video after everything is installed.

Yeah, unless you want to run them at much less than full power, or risk damaging them, using resistors for high power LEDs is not recommended. Its a fine method for small LEDs, though.
The issue is that every LED has a different voltage drop across it, and that drop will vary based on several factors, including temp.
The way to run them is a constant current source. What you can do, is put them in series, as many as practical.
For OEM designs, we run 2 whites in parallel, because we need to run at 9 volts. On a wheeler, Honestly, if the voltage is below 12 volts, then I have other issues..
So, I run 3 whites in series. Then I use an adjustable linear regulator configured to create a constant current source. Cheap and simple.
|March 18th, 2008, 08:44 PM
Slice of Starsage Anyone?
I've designed circuits at work that power 22V worth of LEDs on 9V.
Admittedly, you don't get AS much current as something that has the voltage to back it up without the buck, but it's another thing to consider.
|March 18th, 2008, 09:06 PM
Covered in mud...
But, yes, for driving for hobbies, a DC/DC works well. technically, thats a boost, though, buck is knocking down the voltage....
I get to play with this stuff a lot more at work now. I just got named as our north american LED techincal expert for my company.

I understand that you guys want to save money at the cost of more power wasted, but I build more for efficiency.
I want to have rock lights that are as bright as the incandescents that I can leave on for several hours without frying my battery (in case I need to crawl under the jeep and do some work or something of that nature).
Again, though, you're losing out on some functionality. My set-up allows me the option of a PWM brightness control, or a DC signal voltage level to control brightness (and, of course, there are more advantages to this), which is flippin' convenient.
Congrats on your promotion.
I don't deal with LEDs too much. I've only recently picked up an interest with them when I was assigned to a project where I use infrared LEDs and infrared receivers to communicate and build a virtual 3D grid in free space (they can also communicate several other things, but that is the neatest part).
Kinda' cool stuff!
|March 19th, 2008, 10:02 AM
Covered in mud...
When we have heat specific, we can and do use buck regulators.
Thing is that for high power (InGaN) parts, we can't use current control for changing intensity, only the PWMing. (A typical LED circuit would have a PNP transistor no the high side for PWM control, the LED, then current limiting resistor, then an NPN switch on the low side for on/off control. ).
Resistors are binned at a specific current, which is the only point their characteristics are guaranteed, usually. What happens is that as the current changes, the X-Y color coordinates change as well. Its especially noticeable in the whites, and we have tight specs for the color coordiantes.
But, in the production world, cost is key. one of the projects I'm doing now, I took 3 cents out per LED, which at our volumes saves us $1.7M per year, so little things add up. I think my current prorgam is using 41M LEDs per year...

Prescriptions for at least 2 psychotropic classes of medication for children and adolescents during outpatient visits increased significantly between the years 1996 and 2007, according to a new national trends survey study.
In fact, investigators report that these multiclass psychotropic prescription visits increased from 14.3% to 20.2%.
"What surprised us was the prevalence of this practice in recent years. Now, 1 in 5 child visits in which a psychotropic drug is prescribed, that child is being prescribed multiple drugs from across different medication classes," lead study author Jonathan S. Comer, MD, at Columbia University in New York City during the study, now an assistant professor in the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University in Massachusetts, told Medscape Medical News.
I think the findings support a growing discomfort in the field that too many children are being placed on too many medications too soon.
"I think the findings support a growing discomfort in the field that too many children are being placed on too many medications too soon. The results really paint quite a portrait of shifting practice in modern child psychiatry, where, despite limited controlled trials, there seems to be a growing acceptance of complex drug regimens in the outpatient psychiatric treatment of kids. It's pretty remarkable," added Dr. Comer.

University of Delaware Has Five-Game Home Win Streak Snapped in 5-2 Loss to Maryland
Related Links
Maryland (12-6), which defeated the Hens for the second time in a week, jumped out to a 5-1 lead after seven innings and got out of a two-on, two-out jam in the eighth frame to claim the victory.
Delaware (9-9), which is playing its home games at Harford CC while weather-related delays to renovations at Bob Hannah Stadium are completed, lost for just the fourth time in 10 home outings and had a five-game home win streak snapped.
"Maryland was just a little bit better on the mound and with the bat tonight," said Delaware head coach Jim Sherman. "I was really happy how freshman (starter) Kevin Milley threw in his first-ever college start. He really battled and settled in after the third inning."
Milley went six innings, allowing eight hits and just three earned runs before giving way to Eric Sawyer in the seventh. John Geffre pitched two scoreless innings of relief for Delaware as well.
The Blue Hens put up a fight in the eighth inning, pulling to within 5-2 on a two-out RBI single by pinch-hitter Greg Olenski. Delaware had two runners on with the tying run at the plate but Maryland reliever Tayler Stiles got UD rightfielder Norm Donkin to line out to centerfield to end the threat. The Hens then went down in order in the ninth.
Maryland got two RBIs each from centerfielder Charlie White and cather Kevin Martir as the Terrapins banged out 11 hits and downed the Hens for the second time in a week after posting an 10-1 victory in College Park, Md. last Tuesday. Starter Bobby Ruse (1-0) went six innings and allowed just one run and four hits.
After Maryland broke out to a 3-0 lead after three innings thanks to a two-run single by White in the second, the Hens finally got on the board in the fourth when Donkin led off the inning with a single, stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a sacrifice fly to centerfield by Alex Mottle.
The Terrapins then pushed the lead to 5-1 when Martir connected on a two-run double in the seventh.
Delaware will continue action Wednesday when they take on in-state foe Wilmington University at 7 p.m. at Harford CC.

Liquid Flow is a burgeoning NYC-based clothing company that specializes in do-anything shorts made to go from the beach to the golf course to the restaurant seemlessly. They'll be competing in the Money Division for the $25,000 grand prize at the first ComLax.com Powerball Lacrosse Tournament July 21-22 at Richard Stockton College near Atlantic City, N.J.
They've already appeared on The Today Show, and now they're bringing their talents to AC for a shot at $25K. If you make it out to Richard Stockton College this weekend, you can also check out their merchandise in the Vendor Village.
Here is Matt Keller of Liquid Flow with a breakdown of their Powerball squad:
Charity: Yes the money we are raising will go to a charity called Sailing Heals. Sailing Heals is a New England based charity service that takes time to help people become engaged in the relaxing and enjoyable sport of sailing and to support those who otherwise wouldn't be able to enjoy it on their own.
Sponsors: Yes, Liquid Flow Clothing helped front the entrance fee. They will also be hosting a vending booth in the vendors' area of the event for those who are interested in the shorts that we will be wearing off the field.
Key to taking home the $25K: We have put together a great team of guys who we believe will combine their skills to take home the prize. Everybody is excited to play and we hope to use that energy to power through the tournament.
Other tournaments: Our roster changes for every tournament we play in but the core group of players are well versed in other summer leagues as well.
Why Powerball: The prize money really got our attention and we have been excited to play in the tournament since the early spring.
What's more important in a summer tournament, talent or chemistry: We feel that you need a fair amount of talent but to not be cocky with it and from there good chemistry can form with the team.

Defender Craig has already made two substitute appearances for Neil Banfield's reserve team despite being just 16-years-old.
Craig, who has been at the Club since the age of 12, also made three appearances for the Under-18s last season.
"He is not the strongest physically so we will need to be patient with him," said Arsenal's Head of Youth Development, Liam Brady. "But he's another player who can play in a number of positions. He's good on the ball, a tough lad, and he'll probably be our number one choice at right back in the Under-18s this season."

this is not off a car. it's off my horse hotwalker variable speed motor. i have looked up the belt by the numbers on the belt, but no go. i will go to a motor place in town as soon as i get a chance. no luck on line, but i think they don't make the same belt and i will have to find equivalent.
i found my belt! got it from a company in Chicago that only does cash. had to get it COD. didn't even know folks still did that :-)
