During the three months ended 31 March 2010 175 million new subscribers or revenue sources were added, some 70% of which came from the Asia/Pacific region.China and India continue to dominate the wireless subscriber numbers, accounting for 54% of all net new subscribers in the quarter. However, they are not the sole drivers of regional growth. During the first quarter both Indonesia and Vietnam joined India and China in the top six group of wireless growth markets, the only non-Asian countries in the half dozen being Brazil and the United States. Together these six countries added 112 million mobile subscribers during the three-month period. Meanwhile Western Europe hit an unwanted milestone: for the first time it saw a decline in its wireless subscriber base, albeit by a small amount.Broadband subscriber growth was distributed more evenly across the regions, with Asia/Pacific 'only' accounting for 41% of quarterly additions. Even the more mature markets of Western Europe and North America are continuing to add substantial numbers of subscribers each quarter, each region contributing 16% of the quarterly additions. The top five growth countries were China, the United States, Russia, India and the Philippines, with France, Brazil and Germany all close behind.While such robust growth in subscribers should be good news for service providers, in truth there was not a lot for CFOs and investors to cheer about. While global annual subscriber growth has continued at a very steady pace, even during the worst of the recession, service provider revenue growth has gradually dwindled. The 1.1% annual revenue growth includes the positive impact of merger and acquisitions. Take away the acquisitions, and revenues are flat.The 2.1% revenue decline over the previous quarter is also significant. There is some seasonal cyclicality in the market and a drop in Q1 is not unusual, but this drop is substantially bigger than that seen twelve months ago. The recession has not helped, but the main problem is that the big subscriber growth numbers are coming from countries where ARPUs are low and intense competition is pushing them even lower. India has seen an amazing 50% growth in wireless subscribers over the last twelve months, and now has almost 600 million subscribers. However, there is not a single Indian operator in the list of top 30 service providers by revenue. Fierce price competition has had a sharply negative impact on Indian service providers revenue growth. For example, Bharti Airtel, the largest Indian operator, achieved subscriber growth of 36% in the past 12 months, but only a 2% increase in revenues. Revenue growth will not return to the global market until companies start to compete on factors other than pricing.

IT managers of businesses housed in multitenant buildings are having to familiarize themselves with a different breed of carrier: building local exchange carriers.
Unlike their competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) and incumbent (ILEC) counterparts, BLECs are concerned exclusively with bringing data and voice services to office towers, industrial parks, hotels and apartment complexes. While CLECs and ILECs focus on building out broadband networks that terminate at the edges of buildings, BLECs concentrate on running broadband inside buildings.
"The goal of a BLEC is to create an in-building broadband network," says Steven Weinberg, an analyst with Chicago research firm New Paradigm Resources. "Their strategy is often to partner with a real estate manager to bring added value to buildings. The managers can use the broadband services as a selling point."
There are several potential advantages BLECs can bring to building owners and their tenants.
Businesses that stand to gain the most are those located in office complexes that are too far from a telco central office to get DSL service and too remote to be passed by a cable provider's network. Most of these businesses are small and midsize organizations, or branch offices of larger companies, and can't justify several thousand dollars per month for a T-1.
Market demand
Jeff Moore, an analyst with market research firm Current Analysis, notes that most office buildings in the U.S. don't have fiber connections, so there is a market for BLEC services.
BLECs typically bring broadband into a building by installing a DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), Ethernet switch or ATM switch in the building's basement. These basement boxes connect back to a telco central office via T-1 or T-3 connections. Tenants who want to subscribe to the BLEC's services are then connected to the switch or DSLAM. The more tenants that sign up for a BLEC's service, the more bandwidth the BLEC provides between the central office and the building.
Some BLECs provide voice services in addition to basic broadband data. Edge Connections, which serves customers in Atlanta, Boston, New York and Washington, D.C., is one such provider, using DSLAMs and voice gateways to enable voice service over DSL. Other BLECs rely on ATM to provide voice services.
Some BLECs are looking to bring value-added data services to building tenants. Everest Broadband Networks, which has more than 600 buildings under contract in the U.S. and Canada, offers e-mail and Web hosting services to its clients, says spokesman Mike Granieri. Next year, Everest plans to expand its value-added services portfolio by allowing customers to purchase applications from multiple application service providers (ASP) through Everest. Customers will access those applications through a portal that requires only one user identification and logon -- an in-building version of what ASP aggregators such as Jamcracker and Agiliti are offering.
The service advantage
One not-so-obvious potential benefit BLECs can offer building tenants is superior service. While out-of-building ILECs and CLECs can take weeks to provision new services for tenants, BLECs can often provision the same service in days because they already have most of the equipment they need on hand in the building, Weinberg ssays.
BLECs aren't the only carriers that offer in-building broadband services. Some CLECs are also getting into the market. For Vitts Networks, a Manchester, N.H., CLEC, in-building broadband services are a growing part of the provider's business.
Drake Hill Commons, a leasing agent and tenant of a North Hampton, N.H., office complex, recently contracted with Vitts to provide broadband services to the complex's tenants. Drake Hill real estate broker Mark Lacomb says his company needed a provider for in-building broadband because the complex is more than five miles from the nearest central office, well outside the range of DSL. Selling office space would be difficult without the broadband option, Lacomb notes.
"Almost everyone needs connectivity beyond dialup," he says.
To serve the complex, Vitts installed a DSLAM on-site. Vitts has two T-1s running between the DSLAM and the nearest central office, but can increase the bandwidth if required, says Bill Creamer, Vitts' executive vice president of sales.
Drake Hill and two other building tenants are currently getting 270K bit/sec service, while another tenant has a 780K bit/sec connection. Vitts also provides the businesses with e-mail.
Lacomb says an important part of Vitts' service is that Vitts takes care of all the billing.
"We didn't want to saddle the property manager with having to worry about billing," Lacomb says. "So whoever came to provide service to the building had to do a breakdown and bill each tenant individually."
Do your research
While BLECs can provide corporate tenants with services they might not be able to get from other providers, potential BLEC customers should research their providers before signing a contract, experts advise.
Like many CLECs, some BLECs have been hammered by the stock market. For example, Allied Riser Communications, a Dallas-based BLEC serving 53 metropolitan areas, was trading at $48.75 in March and was down to less than $2 as of late November. Cypress Communications, an Atlanta-based BLEC with operations in 23 markets, had a 52-week high of $29.93, but was recently trading at less than $1.
Another factor to consider is that many BLECs know the real estate market better than they know the telecommunications market.
"Many of these companies are rooted in the real estate business and the question is how much they know about telco," New Paradigm's Weinberg says. Because BLECs must themselves buy telecommunications services such as T-1s and T-3s from third parties, BLEC customers should research the reliability of the BLEC's provider, he adds.
This story, "BLECs are building a name in broadband for buildings" was originally published by Network World.

Sky-Is-The-Limit Pudding Pie
All this week I'll be detailing some stellar Thanksgiving-worthy desserts.
First up, prepare yourself to meet one of the most delicious and adaptable pies you've ever seen.
Let's walk through this together.
1) Choose a crust. It can be a pre-baked pie crust, a graham cracker crust, Oreo crust, shortbread crust…the options are endless, my friends.
2) Choose a pudding flavor. You can use a large box of cook-and-serve pudding (shhh, I won't tell!) or 3 cups of a homemade recipe. You can opt for chocolate, vanilla. Butterscotch? Perhaps you want to live on the wild side and go for pistachio.
3) Choose your add-ins. Peanut butter. Raspberry jam. Marshmallow creme. Let your imagination go wild with the flavor combinations.
4) Choose your topping. Whipped cream is not optional, but what goes on beyond that is up to you. Crushed candy bars, finely chopped chocolate, fresh berries. Impress your tastebuds!
This pie is more a method than anything, but when my Aunt Marilyn emailed me saying she and her friend Debbie had made it three days in a row, I knew it had to be documented.
I am currently in love with the vanilla pudding/peanut butter/whipped cream/crushed butterfinger variety.
Don't forget to let me know what pudding pie combo your mad cooking skills come up with!
One Year Ago: Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Two Years Ago: Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken
Note: Let's talk about the adaptability of this pie, since that's what makes it so great. First, choose a crust. Plain everyday pie crust (already baked), graham cracker crust, Oreo crust, the options are endless. Second, choose a pudding flavor. I opted for the easy route and used a box of cook-and-serve pudding but you could absolutely use a homemade pudding recipe. Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, Butterscotch. Again, the pudding options are astounding. Third, choose add-ins of your choice. My rule of thumb is about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of "something" to add to the pudding. 1/3 cup of peanut butter in a chocolate or vanilla pie, 1/3 cup of raspberry jam in a chocolate pie, 1/3 cup of marshmallow creme in a butterscotch pie….got it? Finally, top the pie with whipped cream and finely chopped chocolate, berries or crushed candy and you've got yourself an amazing pudding pie.
Just to give you a starting point, I've included a recipe below for a delicious peanut butter pudding pie with a graham cracker crust and below the recipe you'll find two of my go-to recipes for homemade vanilla or chocolate pudding in case you don't care to use the boxed pudding.
- Sub out the graham crackers with Oreos, omit the sugar and voila! Oreo crust.
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 11 long rectangle crackers crushed)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 (4.6 ounce) box cook-and-serve vanilla pudding or about 3 cups homemade vanilla pudding, recipe follows
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup creamy or crunch peanut butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup crushed butterfinger bars
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar and mix. Stir in the butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until the pudding layer is ready.
- Follow the package or recipe directions for your pudding of choice. When the pudding is thickened and starting to boil (at the point that you would normally take it off the stove) stir in the peanut butter until it melts. Pour the pudding into the pie crust. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly to the surface and refrigerate until the pie is well-chilled, 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- In a small bowl, whip the cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the pie and top with the crushed candy bars. Chill until ready to serve.
Recipe Source: adapted and expounded upon from my Aunt Marilyn and her friend, Debbie
Homemade Vanilla Pudding
*Makes about 3 cups
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk (the higher the percentage of fat in the milk, the creamier the pudding)
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks to combine. Set aside.
Mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in milk gradually, whisking to combine fully. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring/whisking constantly until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil with large popping bubbles. Boil and stir for one minute.
Remove the pan from the heat and while whisking the egg yolks vigorously, whisk in all of the hot mixture gradually into egg yolks. This will temper the egg yolks so they don't scramble in the pudding. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot, whisking quickly and constantly. Return the pot to the stove and bring the mixture to a boil again, stirring all the while. Boil for one more minute. Remove from the heat; stir in the butter and vanilla. The pudding will thicken as it chills. (If you think your pudding may have become a bit lumpy in the cooking process, after you remove it from the heat the last time, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.)
Homemade Chocolate Pudding
*Makes about 4 cups
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk (the higher the percentage of fat in the milk, the creamier the pudding)
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks lightly and set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, and boil, whisking, until the pudding is thick, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisking the egg yolks quickly and constantly, gradually add the hot chocolate mixture to the bowl with the egg yolks. Whisk in the chopped chocolate until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and velvety. (If you think your pudding may have become a bit lumpy in the cooking process, after you remove it from the heat the last time, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.)
Recipe Source: I've been making both of these recipes for years based on recipes in my ancient recipe binders.

May 15 2013
Matt Ryan is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, and the biggest reason for this is his great receivers. Here are his top 5 targets:
Roddy White: Roddy White has been with Matt Ryan since Ryan was a rookie in 2008, and in each of the past 5 seasons, White has caught for at least 1,100 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. In five years with Ryan, White has exactly 6,571 yards and 43 touchdowns.
Julio Jones: The Falcons gave up a lot to get Julio Jones, but the investment paid off immediately. Jones has had 2,157 yards and 18 touchdowns in just two seasons. He also averages 16 yards per catch, and is a playmaker in the playoffs. His 182-yard, 2 touchdown performance in the NFC Championship game allowed the Falcons to gain a large lead in the first half. Jones is only entering his 3rd season, and is still going to improve.
Tony Gonzalez: This sure-fire Hall of Fame tight end has caught over 70 passes every season with Matt Ryan, and is Ryan's favorite red-zone target. Gonzalez has caught 27 touchdowns in 4 seasons with the Falcons, and always seems to defy his age. The 16-year NFL veteran decided to come back this year, and he has the chance to get his first Super Bowl ring.
Harry Douglas: Harry Douglas is not a superstar wide receiver; nevertheless, he has an important role in the Atlanta offense. Douglas has had a total of 1,500 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns, and a 69-yard catch in his four year career. When Matt Ryan needs a receiver to make a big catch, he is never let down by Douglas.
Steven Jackson: After Michael Turner was cut this year by the Falcons, Atlanta went all-out to get Steven Jackson, a great running back with exceptional catching skills. Jackson can catch out of the backfield, and could be a great target on goal line plays and short yardage passes. Jackson has caught over 400 passes, has over 3,300 career receiving yards, and has had 8 receiving touchdowns in his career. Steven Jackson will also be a playmaker in the Atlanta passing attack.
Honorable Mentions for best receivers: Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans

Hi guys… what do think about these speakers to make home mixes?
This is my personal opinion, but I think the speakers matter less than your room, familiarity with the speakers, knowledge, etc. You are going to have to compensate in nearly all imperfect situations. So if they have low distortion, decent power, price, frequency range I am sure they would be fine as long as you learn them, figure out their strengths and weaknesses, while also addressing those issues of your own (ears, room, etc).
Just my thoughts, but I am not "pro" and my studio isn't anything you couldn't buy off the shelf at RadioShack or Walmart.

A Portage County grand jury has indicted a Mogadore police officer on charges that he pulled a handgun on a fellow officer while intoxicated at a New Years Eve party.
Mark E. Halliwill, 43, of Mogadore, was indicted Jan. 10 on one count each of felonious assault, a second-degree felony, and having weapons while intoxicated, a first-degree misdemeanor. A firearms specification to the assault charge could add up to three additional years onto the two to eight years Halliwill faces in prison if convicted.
Halliwill is free after posting $4,000 bond. A trial in Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman's courtroom is scheduled for May 21, according to court records.
Halliwill was arrested Jan. 1 by the Portage County Sheriff's Office. According to Mogadore police, Halliwill and fellow officer John M. Josef were off-duty and socializing at Halliwill's Virgil Street residence when an "altercation" allegedly took place. Halliwill then allegedly pulled a semiautomatic handgun and pointed it at Josef. No shots were fired and no one was injured. Alcohol is believe to have been a factor as well, according to Mogadore police.
Halliwill was immediately placed on administrative leave from his job following the incident. The Portage County Sheriff's Office investigated the criminal side of the case to prevent any appearance of favoritism or impropriety, according to Mogadore police, who are conducting their own internal investigation.

I don't care who ya are, dat der is some serious funny "BLOWPOP"! The officer that squeeeeeeeeeeeeld on Mark should be chastised. I wonder if he's related to L.T. llama Johnson? (COP HATER). (MAJOR CHAOS KELLY) "Hows comes yooos arrested dat PO lice man L.T.? Eyes been on dem der calls wit udder occifers wher eyes almosted gots shot and yous protected me, wut did hes do wrong?"
Take it all the way to trial, I guarentee there are alot of integrity, as well as competency issues that will surface! BLOWPOP is right when it comes to these two and their integrity.
Well officer Mark since portage county is investigating your case you should start looking for other employment and get ready to lay it down for a year or so! I pretty sure Greg(the lama )Johnson will be lead investigator on your case and he loves going after cops! I hear he also loves to lie while under oath! You can compare the sheriffs dept to a chop shop, they can take a broken down rusted out car to their chop shop and fabricate it to look like a brand new 2013 fresh off the line! It will look good and sound good but truthfully is a butch job, if you start to tear it apart to see what it's made of and who did the work you will see that it's a hack job! You ask why they call Greg the lama? I believe he spits and lissspts when he talksss. Lol I don't know if they provide rain coats or sneeze guards during questioning but you may want to bring your own! Unless you want a saliva shower! I'd love to hear a verbal argument between Dale Kelly and Greg Johnson! With both of there speech impediments they'd sound like 2 tards on the short bus going at it!

Andy Williams Dies – Andy Williams' Country Music Connection
Andy Williams, Mr. 'Moon River,' has died at the age of 84 on September 25, 2012 after a battle with bladder cancer.
Williams died at his home in Branson, Missouri, where he had been performing at his own theater since 1992. Just last year, 2011, I actually had the chance to bring a bus load of listeners to Branson, Mo. to see several legends in concert, including Andy Williams. At the time, the 83 year-old still had great charisma on stage and a voice that could still do justice to classics like 'Moon River' 'Days Of Wine And Roses' 'Music To Watch Girls Go By' and 'Can't Get Used To Losing You.'
Mr. Williams actually has a connection to Country Music by way of Ray Stevens and Marie Osmond. In 1970, Ray Stevens hosted a summer replacement show for The Andy Williams Show on NBC. That stint helped bring his career to new heights with the hit 'Everything Is Beautiful,' that Ray composed as the show's theme song. The song was released on Andy's record label, Barnaby Records, in addition to the Ray Steven's classics 'Misty' 'The Streak' and 'Turn Your Radio On.' Jimmy Buffet and The Osmonds also recorded for Andy Williams' record label.
Marie Osmond, another Country hitmaker, also got her start working with Andy Williams. At the age of 3, she made her debut on the Andy Williams Show alongside her brothers, The Osmonds, who were regulars on the show throughout the '60s. Marie would later score a No. 1 Country hit in 1973 at the age of 13 with 'Paper Roses.' In the '80s, she would return to the top of the Country Music charts with 'There's No Stopping Your Heart' and 'Meet Me In Montana' with Dan Seals.
Andy Williams actually released two country flavored albums to express his love for the genre. In 1974, he recorded an album of songs written by Nashville songwriters titled 'You Lay So Easy On My Mind.' Then, in 1991 he recorded an album of new Country Music appropriately named, 'Nashville.'
When I host and produce trips to see legendary artists, I always tell people to make sure you go, because you never know when and if your favorite legend will never perform again. I'm very thankful that I had the chance to see this icon live in concert last year, it will be a night that I will always remember.

Spinal Cord Stimulation
The Center for Neuromodulation at Mount Sinai offers spinal cord stimulation to treat chronic pain syndromes such as post-surgical failed back syndrome and complex regional pain syndromes (CRPS) such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy or causalgia from nerve damage.
Our neurosurgeons also use the advanced procedure to also treat peripheral neuropathy, which can be caused by blood flow limitations (ischemia) to the lower extremities or diabetes.
How does Spinal Cord Stimulation work?
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis and involves implanting a small device in the epidural space over the spinal cord that emits mild electrical pulses that stimulate the spinal cord directly. "These pulses intercept and modulate the electrical activity of the pain processing centers of the spinal cord," says Dr. Brian Kopell, Director of the Center for Neuromodulation. The idea is to alter the signals currently being sent to the brain that give rise to the pain phenomenon, says Kopell.
Before a permanent electrode device is placed, a temporary electrode is place to determine the patient's response. If that response is positive, a permanent spinal cord stimulator is implanted. This operates on batteries that typically last for about 10 years. At the 10 year mark, says Dr. Kopell, approximately 50 percent of patients report good results. The patient works with her or his neurologist to determine the parameters of the electrical pulses—amplitude, pulse width and frequency—that work best to control the pain.
Who is a candidate for this procedure?
For patients to become candidates for spinal cord stimulation, they must undergo psychological testing. Patients must also have failed standard medical treatments as spinal cord stimulation is not considered a frontline treatment due to the cost and invasive nature of the procedure.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Two women seeking asylum in Maine are asking to join a lawsuit against Republican Gov. Paul LePage's administration regarding general assistance aid.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Maine and Maine Equal Justice Partners said on Thursday that they have a complaint on behalf of the immigrants.
The lawsuit filed by the Maine Municipal Association and the cities of Portland and Westbrook last week challenges a Department of Health and Human Services directive that cities and towns stop providing the benefits to immigrants that can't prove that they are living in the country legally.
The groups say that Rehma Rebecca Juma and Suavis Furaha left their home country, Burundi, to escape violence and persecution. The two have applied for asylum status, but haven't been able to get work permits.

The Tigers fought hard and for the majority of the game no one seemed to play better than Monty Wilson against the No. 2 University of Pikeville Bears. But with 34 seconds left and down one (77-76), Georgetown College coach Chris Briggs drew up a play for the junior that went awry.
"I thought I had lost it," Wilson said.
Fortunately the Decatur, Ill. native got a shot at redemption almost six seconds later and did not disappoint the Georgetown faithful in attendance at the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center in Pikeville Saturday night. The Tigers (13-4, 5-4 Mid-South Conference) pulled off the upset and walked out the 80-77 victors. The win snapped UPike's 11-game win streak that dated back to Nov. 17.
The Bears (17-2, 8-2) forced Wilson into a turnover with just more than 14 seconds remaining. On the ensuing inbounds play Montavious Marc committed his fifth foul and sent Elisha Justice to the line. The junior transfer from Louisville missed the front end of the bonus and Garel Craig came out with the rebound. He drove it the length of the floor and found Wilson filling lane on the right side. Wilson got the pass, scored the wide open bucket and got fouled. He hit is free throw for his 22nd point and a 79-77 Tiger advantage.
Craig then fouled Chris Johnson on the next Bear possession, prevent a three-point opportunity for a team that is ranked 12th in three-point percentage and is 8th in threes made this season. Johnson also missed his front end of the bonus. Allan Thomas corralled the rebound and was fouled to give GC the final margin of victory.
"We battled and that's been a great part of this team in recent weeks," Briggs said. "When we were playing with a shortened bench we had to learn to really trust and rely on each other as well as play smart. I think we are seeing the rewards of those two tough road games we played with eight people."
Wilson was joined by three other Tigers in double figures. Craig had 18, Thomas 15 and Vic Moses chipped in with 12. GC limited the Bears in second chance opportunities – a point of emphasis coming out of this past week's home games. UPike had eight offensive boards to GC's 30 defensive boards and the Tigers won the battle 38-24 on the glass overall.
Georgetown now plays a random Monday game at 6 pm at University of Virginia College at Wise due to the cancellation of Thursday's conference showdown. Follow live stats at http://live.uvawisecavs.com/xlive.htm; and the broadcast at http://www.uvawisecavs.com/.

Just providing a vague suggestion of 'Meetups can be better organised' doesnt help us, but saying 'Meetups could be organised better if X was implemented and Y was taken into consideration' means that not only are you identifying an issue but suggesting a solution to help improve it.
This is being created to help the Leadership Team at EPyC to gain a better understanding of what the members of the group are happy with and what they feel can be improved upon. By collecting this information in a single place rather than going on word of mouth all the time, we will hopefully avoid any misunderstandings and miscomunications between the Groups organisers and other members.

Freddie Prinze Jr.
Freddie Prinze Jr. is an American actor.
He rose to fame during the late 1990s and early 2000s, after starring in several Hollywood films aimed at teenage audiences, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997) and its sequel, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" (1998), as well as "She's All That" (1999), 'Summer Catch" (2001), "Scooby-Doo" (2002) "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" (2004) and "Delgo" (2008).
Prinze has also had acting roles in television shows, including "Friends", "Freddie' and "24". He is married to actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, and currently works for WWE as a producer and director.
Tending to his fatherly duties, Freddie Prinze Jr. took his five-year-old daughter Charlotte Grace to her Jiu-Jitsu class earlier this week.
The proud papa even got down on the mat with his little girl while his wife Sarah Michelle Gellar snapped up a photo of Charlotte trying out her moves on the "She's All That" stud.
While any surgery can be dangerous, Freddie Prinze Jr.'s spinal procedure last week was especially dicey.
Thankfully, the "She's All That" stud did well under the knife and spent Thanksgiving recovering from the operation and taking plenty of selfies for his social media accounts.
Celebrity feuds are nothing new, but it seems the drama between Freddie Prinze Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland is only one-sided.
First, Freddie trashed the "Lost Boys" actor, claiming he was "the most unprofessional dude in the world," after working with him on "24" back in 2008-09.
A few years back he scored a supporting role on "24," and it turns out Freddie Prinze Jr. is definitely not a fan of Kiefer Sutherland.
The "She's All That" actor told ABC News that he couldn't stand the "Lost Boys" hunk and his experience on the show caused him to take a break from the industry.
Giving fans a little midweek thrill, Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a selfie with her handsome husband Freddie Prinze Jr. on Wednesday (March 12).
The "Cruel Intentions" cutie used the image as an incentive to her followers to increase her popularity on the micro-blogging network.
Getting in some important family time, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. took their daughter to Disneyland in Anaheim on Wednesday (March 6).
All smiles as she got to meet Rapunzel, little Charlotte also posed with mom and dad for a few pictures and got to preview the new "Fantasy Faire" attraction at the park.
Nearly two months after his birth, Sarah Michelle Gellar and husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. finally revealed their son's name on Saturday (November 17).
Born in September, the newest member of the household was named Rocky James Prinze. He joins big sister, 3-year-old Charlotte, as the object of his parents' affection.
It's a boy for Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.!
A rep for the star told Us Weekly, "Sarah Michelle and Freddie Prinze, Jr. are thrilled to announce that they welcomed a baby son into the world this past week."
Enjoying quality time with her daughter before another little one comes along, Sarah Michelle Gellar picked up Charlotte from school in Beverly Hills on Friday (September 14).
The "Buffy" star wore a jean jacket and a brown dress to cover her large baby bump, as she held hands with her tot and carried the little one's adorable monkey backpack.
She's excited about having baby #2 and it sounds like Sarah Michelle Gellar will be registering for blue gifts this time around.
According to a report, the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actress and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. have discovered their bun in the oven will be a boy.

Navigation disc error ??
I don't know where to post this exactly ...
But I think everybody has had once the same problem
My REC/REJ nav can read the disc anymore I have the nice message impossible to read disc"
I've tied dvd cleaning disc .. no result
I've tried to clean the dust with canned air .... no result
I've burned a copy of my original nav disc .. no result :mad::mad::mad:
Is there anything special with this navigation system??
And how can I get it working again:confused:
Any advice is welcome
Re: Navigation disc error ??
I had the same problem. I saw in another forum that Infra Recorder DVD software can fix the problems. I tried it and worked. FIrst I saved the ISO copy to my hard disk and burned the new disk from hdd. They claim it fixes the errors when copying. You need a dual layer dvd. I am not sure which software you used to copy your dvd but give it a shot it may work.
Re: Navigation disc error ??
I 've done the same , but with nero software . and some DL DVD, the original DVD has no scratches , and no errors on both .
I think the lens is dirty , but is there any simple way to clean it without dismounting?
Re: Navigation disc error ??
There are lens cleaner kits that you can buy for DVD and CD players, but I am not sure how well they would work.
Some of them only have the cleaning bristles on a certain track, which won't work for the GPS disc reader, as it only reads the start of the disc and then throws an error if it doesn't find what it's looking for. It would need the cleaning bristles at the start of the read location.
I would first try just shooting some compressed air in there.
Re: Navigation disc error ??
If you can't repair the Navigation radio, you can upgrade to the new nav. I have a 2008-2010 MyGig RER with Uconnect mic & GPS antenna for sale that was purchased from justforjeep if anyone interested. $625 Shipped
Re: Navigation disc error ??
Re: Navigation disc error ??
common problem, the disc is worn, as did mine. I downloaded from the web on a DL DVD with all the new updates and works like a charm.
Re: Navigation disc error ??
Re: Navigation disc error ??

Absences from Work
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Employees who have been employed for at least one (1) year and for at least 1,250 hours during the preceding 12-month period are eligible for family and medical leave. The Department of Labor requires employers to choose one of four (4) methods for determining the 12-month period during which an employee may use 12 weeks of FMLA leave. The university has selected the "rolling" 12-month period, which measures backward from the date an employee uses any FMLA leave. For employees not eligible for family and medical leave, the university will review business considerations, other leave options, and the individual circumstances involved. Except for those employees designated as "highly compensated employees," employees will be returned to the same or to an equivalent position. The reemployment issue for "highly compensated employees" will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Family or medical leave will consist of appropriate accrued paid leave and unpaid leave. If leave is requested, the employee must use all of his or her accrued paid vacation leave (salaried employees) or accrued PLT (hourly employees). The remainder of the leave period will then consist of unpaid leave unless the employee qualifies for short term disability benefits. In some cases, FMLA and STD benefits will run concurrent and it will not be necessary to use vacation time or PLT. This is reviewed on a case by case basis.
Reason for Leave
All employees who meet the applicable time of service requirements may be granted family or medical leave consisting of appropriate accrued paid leave and unpaid leave, for a period of twelve (12) weeks (during any 12-month period) for the following reasons:
- the birth of the employee's child and in order to care for the child;
- the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care;
- to care for a spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition; or
- a serious health condition that renders the employee incapable of performing the functions of his or her job.
The entitlement leave for the birth or placement of a child for adoption or foster care will expire twelve (12) months from the date of the birth or placement.
Procedure for Requesting Leave
FMLA and short-term disability benefits are administered through Sun Life, which specializes in reviewing, approving, processing and tracking short-term disability and FMLA leave requests with the oversight of expert medical and legal staff.
You can file a claim over the phone or online. To begin the process of filing a claim, please contact Sun Life and FMLASource in one of the ways below:
Phone: 877-SUN-LIFE (877-786-3652)
Fax: 877-309-0218
Online: https://fmla.sunlife-usa.com (Your Employee Number is your UST ID number)
Benefits Coverage During Leave
During a period of family or medical leave, an employee will be retained on the university medical plan under the same conditions that applied before leave commenced. To continue medical coverage, the employee must continue to make any contributions that he or she made to the plan before taking leave. The same holds true for other university benefits programs.
An employee is not entitled to the accrual of any seniority or employment benefits that would have occurred if not for the taking of leave. An employee who takes family or medical leave will not lose any employment benefits that accrued before the date leave began.
Restoration of Employment Following Leave
An employee eligible for family and medical leave—with the exception of those employees designated as "highly compensated employees"—will be restored to his or her old position or to a position of equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. Prior to returning to work, the employee must submit a "Fitness for Duty" form to the Benefits Specialist. The university cannot guarantee that an employee will be returned to his or her original job. A determination as to whether a position is an "equivalent position" will be made by the university.

The university cannot guarantee that an employee will be returned to his or her original job. A determination as to whether a position is an "equivalent position" will be made by the university.
Family Emergency / Parental Leave (See Family Medical Leave Act)
The University of St. Thomas recognizes that there may be times when it is necessary for an employee to be absent from work in order to address a critical family matter that may not be covered by other university leave policies. All regular employees are eligible to request a Family Emergency/Parental Leave. (Union members must refer to their union contract.) To assist employees in meeting these family obligations, the University will provide the following:
Family Emergency Leave
An employee can request up to two weeks of paid leave for a serious family emergency requiring the employee's immediate assistance. For purpose of this benefit, "family" is defined as employee's spouse, son or daughter, parents, or persons defined as "dependents" by the IRS for tax purposes. Paid leave for a serious family emergency shall be granted after the employee has used all of his/her PLT or vacation leave time.
Parental Leave
An employee can request up to two weeks of paid leave in conjunction with the birth or adoption of a child. In the case of a birth mother, the additional two weeks shall be granted after the employee's disability benefits have ended. A birth father or adoptive parent may request leave no sooner than two (2) weeks prior to the expected delivery/arrival date and no later than six (6) weeks after the birth or adoption. If both parents are employed by UST and are eligible for parental leave benefits, they may either share one parental leave (e.g., each parent takes one week parental leave) or they may designate one parent to take the leave.
Procedure for Requesting Leave
All requests for family emergency/parental leave must be in writing (e-mail is preferable) and should include the following information:
Reason for family emergency/parental leave.
Requested leave time (dates or approximate dates if unknown).
The written request should be sent to the Benefits Specialist in the Human Resources Department located in AQU217 or e-mailed to email@example.com. The Benefits Specialist will obtain the approval of employee's department head and appropriate academic and administrative leader.
No more than one Family Emergency/Parental Leave will be granted per rolling year, e.g. if you request a parental or family emergency leave effective March 1, 2009, you are ineligible to do so again until March 1, 2010. In addition, a family emergency leave is permitted for a specific situation occurring at a specific point in time. Employees may not take this type of leave on an incremental basis. Under this policy, the types of emergencies covered generally require an employee to use the family emergency leave in one block of time but not spread it out over several weeks or months.
[Note: This leave may be counted toward an employee's FMLA leave as set forth by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). FMLA requires covered employers to grant eligible employees up to 12 weeks of leave per year for the birth or adoption of a child, to care for a spouse or an immediate family member with a serious health condition, or for the employee's own serious health condition. The FMLA does not require that this time be paid—although the leave of absence under the Family Emergency/Parental Leave policy provides employees paid time off.]
Funeral Leave
Regular part-time and full-time salaried and hourly paid employees are provided a maximum of three days paid leave for the death, funeral, or estate settlement of a member of the employee's immediate family. Immediate family members are defined as the employee's spouse, father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, children, stepchildren, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother and sister.
Eligible employees are provided one day paid leave to attend the funeral of grandparents, grandchildren, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law.
Employees who wish to take more than the number of days allotted for funeral leave as detailed above, may use vacation, PLT, or leave without pay for the additional time with prior supervisory approval.
Employees who wish to take more time off work for the funeral of someone other than the family members described above, may take vacation, PLT, or time without pay for that absence.
Hourly Employees Purchased Leave Time Program
The hourly employees purchased leave time program (HEPLT) provides additional paid time off to eligible employees who need or want a few extra days beyond their normal paid leave time (PLT) accrual. With HEPLT, employees are able to purchase time off in full day increments up to five (5) days or 40 hours in a calendar year in return for a pro-rated reduction in their salary. This provides employees with a steady, reduced income and additional leave. While HEPLT may provide employees with time to spend with their families during holidays, it may also mean that an employee has time to pursue a particular hobby or further study. Please consult the HEPLT Summary Plan Description on the Human Resources website for additional information. HEPLT is available to new employees and each year during annual enrollment.
Inclement Weather Closing
In order to ensure continuity of services to students and the public, the University of St. Thomas rarely closes. It recognizes, however, that severe weather conditions or other emergencies may require the University to close or cease parts of its campus operations. Should this occur, the University will follow the guidelines provided below.
- The University administration maintains a weather emergency tele-chain communication network. This network is activated by the Executive Vice President / Chief Academic Officer. Supervisors and managers who are notified of the closing by their immediate supervisor shall, in turn, notify each employee who reports directly to them of the decision.
- Since the timing of a campus closing decision is important, as students, faculty, and/or staff may already be in route to the campus, the University will make the decision by 6 a.m., whenever possible.
- WCCO Radio (AM 830) is designated as the official closing notification station. WCCO is a "clear channel" station and its signal can be clearly received by all radio listeners in the Twin Cities metro area. All students, staff, and faculty will know exactly what decision has been made if they listen to WCCO Radio. The station will continue to update all closing information between 6:00 and 8:00 a.m.
- In addition to WCCO, the University will notify several television stations and other radio stations of the closing decision. They, in turn, will broadcast the closing information.
- A community wide message will also be enacted in each voice mail box as well as on the university's switchboard announcing the official closing.
- When the University is officially closed, all classes are canceled, and all administrative offices are closed for the day. If the inclement weather subsides as the day progresses, evening classes and activities will continue as scheduled, if the decision is announced on WCCO Radio. This decision will be made no later than 4:00 p.m.
Emergency Essential Personnel
During a campus closing, employees working in emergency essential areas or functions are required to report to work. Emergency essential personnel are employees who have been designated as vital to the operation of the University during emergencies, whose presence is required regardless of the existence of an emergency, and whose absence from duty could endanger the safety and well-being of the campus population and/or the university's physical facilities. Below is a list of the positions and/or functions that meets the definition of emergency essential areas.
- Public Safety Officers
- Certain Physical Plant employees, such as Physical Plant managers, building service workers, grounds workers, shift supervisors and manager, maintenance mechanics, and electricians
- IRT Server Administrators
- Food Service Workers
Please note that during the fall and spring semesters when the University is officially closed due to inclement weather, the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library Center and the Ireland Library will attempt to be open with a limited staff.
Employees working in positions designated as "emergency essential" are expected to remain at work if the campus closes during their regular work schedule, or to report to work if the campus closing announcement is made before their regular work schedule begins.
Staff Compensation During an Emergency Closing
With some exceptions, as noted below, the University provides an authorized paid absence from work to those employees whose positions are not listed as "emergency essential" and who were scheduled to work on the day of the emergency closing. Other employees are compensated as follows.
- Regular staff whose positions are designated "emergency essential" shall receive pay for hours actually worked the day of the emergency closing in addition to their regular pay for all scheduled work hours that day.
- Regular staff scheduled to work, except those in positions designated as "emergency essential personnel" are not required to call in or report to work when the University is closed and will receive their regular base rate of pay for hours scheduled. Part-time employees will be paid for the number of hours previously scheduled to work.
- Staff represented by a union will be compensated according to the terms of their collective bargaining agreements.
- Employees not scheduled to work on the day of the emergency closing will not be paid for that day. Part-time employees will be paid for the number of hours previously scheduled to work.
- Hourly employees who staff the libraries will be paid for hours actually worked the day of the closing in addition to regular pay for hours scheduled to work that day.
- Employees who are on approved vacation leave when a University closing is declared are not eligible for the paid emergency closing day. Likewise, employees who previously requested and received approval to take any type of paid or unpaid leave of absence (such as vacation, PLT, etc) shall not be compensated for the emergency closing.
- Employees who are unable to report to work due to weather conditions but during times when the University is open may use vacation, Paid Leave Time (PLT), or take an unpaid leave of absence. However, the University expects employees to make a good faith effort to report to work during inclement weather if the University has not declared an emergency closing.
Jury Duty
Employees who are called to serve on jury duty or are serving as a witness in answer to a subpoena or other court order (unless the proceeding involves a personal or family matter), will be provided the time off with pay, up to a maximum of two weeks. This time off will not be charged against the employee's vacation/PLT time. Employees may request unpaid leave for jury duty that exceeds two weeks.
For the period in which the employee receives paid leave, money received for jury duty or for serving as a witness must be given to the University's Payroll Department. Employees are not required to turn in money received for food, lodging and transportation expenses.
Employees who are required to appear in court in personal legal proceeding must take vacation/PLT time or a leave of absence without pay, unless the legal proceeding has a direct relationship to the employee's position at the University of St. Thomas.
Maternity Leave
Maternity leave will be available for eligible employees under the short-term disability plan. If applicable, an employee may take vacation, sick leave, PLT, Family Emergency/Parental Leave, or leave without pay until she is eligible to receive payment for the short-term disability plan. Maternity leave under the short-term disability plan commences when the employee is medically unable to work, and continues after the date of delivery until the employee's physician indicates the employee is medically able to return to work, which is typically six weeks after the birth of the child. Leave beyond the initial disability leave may be granted in accordance with the Family Emergency/Parental Leave Policy, and other arrangements the employee may make with her supervisor to use vacation time, PLT, or unpaid leave.
Military Leave
If you are a member of the National Guard or organized reserves, you are eligible for required military training leave each year. The university will reimburse you for the difference between your military training pay and your regular university salary for up to two (2) weeks per year. Military training leave not exceeding two (2) weeks annually will be provided in addition to your regular vacation.
Military leave in excess of two (2) weeks annually will be considered a leave of absence without pay and will be handled according to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The university will not reimburse you for the difference between your military pay and your regular university salary for leaves that exceed two (2) weeks.
Religious Observances
Supervisors will grant time off for the observance of religious holidays that are not observed by the university, provided the employee requests the time off at least two weeks in advance.
Such time off will be unpaid unless a personal leave day or accrued vacation or PLT is used. Rearrangement of the employee's schedule may be possible instead of unpaid time off with prior supervisory approval.
School Conference Leave
Employees are eligible for unpaid leave of up to 16 hours per year to attend a child's school activities, including attendance at or monitoring of child care, pre kindergarten conferences or activities, or musical and sporting events, if the conference or classroom activity cannot be scheduled during non-working hours. The employee must notify the supervisor prior to taking time off. The employee may use accumulated vacation or PLT for this time.
Unpaid Leave
There are some situations when an employee may feel it is necessary to be away from work for an extended period of time. Before an employee can request an unpaid leave of absence all available paid leave time (such as vacation, PLT, floating holiday, disability, and family emergency/parental leave) must be depleted.
Except in situations where there is a clear, urgent emergency, requests for unpaid leave should be made in writing to the employee's supervisor at least 30 days prior to the expected start of the leave.
The final decision concerning the request will be made by the department head in conjunction with the Vice President for the area and the appropriate person(s) in the Department of Human Resources.
During an unpaid leave of absence that is shorter than 2 months, the employee will be required to pay the employee cost of his/her benefits. The balance of the fringe benefits will be continued by the university. For unpaid leaves that are longer than 2 months, COBRA is triggered. The employee will be required to pay for the full cost of any fringe benefits they would like to continue during the leave, effective the first day of the month following the start of the leave.
Voluntary Unpaid Leave of Absence
As part of the University's ongoing efforts to control and reduce cost, it has adopted a voluntary unpaid leave of absence program. This program affords staff members the opportunity to take time off without pay. All unpaid leaves granted under this program must be initiated by the employee, approved by the employee's department head and appropriate academic and administrative leader, and taken on a voluntary basis.
Voting Leave
Employees may be absent from work for the purpose of voting in state and presidential primaries, as well as in state general elections and congressional elections. Time spent during morning work hours for voting on the way to work will be paid by the university; leaving work early to vote will not be paid.
Employees who serve as an election judge must give their supervisor 20 days written notice of their expected absence from work for this purpose. Employees serving as an election judge will be allowed the time off with pay, provided documentation is received from the appointing authority that verifies the actual hours served in this capacity. In turn, compensation received as an election judge must be signed over to the university.

Alfa AWUS036NH 802.11n WIRELESS-N USB Wi-Fi adapter 2 watt
Alfa AWUS036NH is an 802.11n wireless USB adapter with a maximum output power 2000mW. This is a single band (2.4 GHz) 802.11n adapter with maximum transfer speeds of 150 megabits per second (mbps). This is for one brand new (in retail box) AWUS036NH wireless adapter with USB cable, driver CD, and 5 dBi gain antenna.
The AWUS036NH hooks up to any computer that has a USB port and one of the compatible operating systems listed below. It allows you to get a longer range than your existing wireless card. It is perfect for netbooks, laptops, and desktops. It features an external RP-SMA connector which is a must have for RVers or boaters that need a high powered USB Wi-Fi receiver to connect to a high gain outdoor antenna they already own or plan to buy.
This item works with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.
Windows 10 drivers may not included on the CD-ROM and can be downloaded here.
- Compatible with IEEE 802.11n, 802.11b/g/n wireless standards
- 2.4GHz frequency band, MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
- Supports wireless data encryption with 64/128-bit WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, AES
- IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard
- USB 2.0 standard
- Up to 150Mbps for 802.11n connections
- Frequency Range: 2.412~2.483 GHz
Since this has 2000mW output, it will have the longest range and stronger signals than any other product with lesser power, right?
-Sometimes retailers have a tendency to promote a specific attribute of a product as if it is the only thing that matters. In fact, while higher output is a good thing, it is not the only thing that determines your range and signal strength. This has more to do with transmission back to the source, which is important but just one factor of the connection. Some users may expect that because this has 2000mW of max output, this product will have twice the range of Alfa's 1-watt AWUS036H. This is not the case.
How far away can I pick up signals with this?
-For this question there is no exact answer. Wireless range is an imperfect science. The range you get with any adapter will vary markedly depending on the strength and quality of the wireless access point being used, as well as obstacles and interference in the area. Keep in mind that interference can often be invisible. The Alfa is the longest range and most powerful standalone wireless adapter on the market at the time of this writing. Basically, if this kit does not work for you, you will likely need to look into some sort of high gain outdoor setup. If you are trying to pick up signals from far away, and are not sure this will give you enough range, please contact us with details about your situation and we may be able to offer an opinion.
State sales tax of 6% will be added to FLORIDA purchases only. There is no sales tax for any other state.
Return Policy: If you have received an item that is not as described, not working, or you are not satisfied with it for any reason, you may return it for an exchange or refund at your discretion within 30 days of receipt. Because range can very greatly based on your environment, if you are not sure a particular product will meet your range needs please contact us before buying. As we are a business, we are not able to offer free product trials, and thus if a purchased product does not meet your range needs and you wish to return it, a 10% restocking fee will apply. The only exception will be if the item is defective. Please note that shipping charges paid, including return shipping, are never refundable. If you opt for an exchange, we will pay to ship the replacement to you. Items must be returned the way they were received, with all pieces, documentation, and retail packaging (if applicable) included.

BWH patient Brett Louis poses with his care team on Tower 3D.
Last month, Tower 3D patient Brett Louis marked an important day: his 100th infusion of immunoglobulin (IVIg), an antibody that enables him to walk and maintain his balance.
In 2006, Louis was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurologic and autoimmune disorder that causes stiffness and rigidity in muscles, which can result in muscle spasms and falls. Louis was unable to walk when he first came to BWH.
Now, at 54, with the help of his BWH care team, including rheumatologist Simon Helfgott, MD, neurologist Thomas Cochrane, MD, MBA, and primary nurse Jayne Daly, RN, Louis feels in control of his health and hopeful about his future. He visits the hospital once a month to receive treatment.
"Especially on my worst days, I never thought these infusions would have such a positive impact on my condition and quality of life," said Louis, during his June 6 infusion. "I am so proud to be a patient at BWH and so grateful to my entire care team."

Four new cases of SARS-like virus found in Saudi, Qatar
By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - A new virus from the same family as SARS which sparked a global alert in September has now killed two people in Saudi Arabia, and total cases there and in Qatar have reached six, the World Health Organisation said.
The U.N. health agency issued an international alert in late September saying a virus previously unknown in humans had infected a Qatari man who had recently been in Saudi Arabia, where another man with the same virus had died.
On Friday it said in an outbreak update that it had registered four more cases and one of the new patients had died.
"The additional cases have been identified as part of the enhanced surveillance in Saudi Arabia (3 cases, including 1 death) and Qatar (1 case)," the WHO said.
The new virus is known as a coronavirus and shares some of the symptoms of SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which emerged in China in 2002 and killed around a 10th of the 8,000 people it infected worldwide.
Among the symptoms in the confirmed cases are fever, coughing and breathing difficulties.
Of the six laboratory-confirmed cases reported to WHO, four cases, including the two deaths, are from Saudi Arabia and two cases are from Qatar.
Britain's Health Protection Agency, which helped to identify the new virus in September, said the newly reported case from Qatar was initially treated in October in Qatar but then transferred to Germany, and has now been discharged. Continued...

USB and PIC16C745
The analog signal from the microphone was amplified using an op-amp and then digitized using the 16C745's analog-to-digital feature. If you are reproducing this project, I would recommend putting in a filter to remove the frequencies higher than the microprocessor's sampling rate. The digital data was buffered in the microprocessor and then set to the host computer over the USB connection. Since 'interrupt' method of transfer only allows 8 bytes of data transfered every 10ms, this limited the amount of data that could be transfered.
The following circuit connects the PIC to the usb cable. It is designed to be powered off the USB cable. The 6 MHz clock controls the internal oscillator.
The 'reset' switch, causes a reset condition which should cause most of the special registers to clear and the program to start again.
The value of R1 is not critical since it is only used as a pull-up for the MCLR (master clear) pin. The R2 resister is required by the USB specification and should be 1.5 kOhms. The capacitor C3, is not critical and simply stabilizes the Vusb pin voltage. The values of the capacitors, C1 and C2 can be in a range specified in the 16C745 specification (15pf - 69 pf) and may depend on the crystal that you use.
Check that USB power and ground connections are correct before connecting the chip. It is easy to get turn around between the cable pinout and the socket pin out.
Me thinks this was posted in the wrong forum. :laughing:

PITTSBURGH -- Yoslan Herrera received a water-bottle shower from his teammates and one special souvenir -- the baseball from his first major league win.
"It's a gift I'm going to keep for the rest of my life," Herrera said Thursday night through his translator, Pirates bullpen coach Luis Dorante.
Herrera pitched six shutout innings and Pittsburgh got back-to-back homers from Jason Bay and Xavier Nady in a 9-1 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Nate McLouth also homered and had three RBI for the Pirates, who have won four straight. They stopped a six-game skid against the Padres, who have lost nine of 10 overall.
Herrera (1-1), making his third big league start since being called up from Double-A Altoona on July 12, allowed six singles and one walk while striking out four in his 96-pitch outing. The 27-year-old Cuban defector, who allowed 13 runs over six innings in his first two starts, lowered his ERA from 19.50 to 9.75.
"I'm very happy," Herrera said. "There are no words to say. I'm very, very happy to have picked up my first win."
Herrera had little difficulty against San Diego, which owns the worst record in the major leagues at 38-65.
The Padres' best scoring chance against the right-hander came in the third inning, when they put runners on first and second with one out. But Edgar Gonzalez and Brian Giles grounded out to end the threat.
San Diego also put two runners on with two outs in the sixth, but Chase Headley flied out.
"He had command of his pitches," Pittsburgh manager John Russell said. "It was a clean start for him. He had the first-start jitters, and his second start wasn't even relevant. Tonight, he looked relaxed."
Pirates catcher Ryan Doumit said Herrera had "great stuff."
"We talked before the game about how he needed to use his sinker," Doumit said. "He used it, it moved a lot, and it kept the other team in check. He's always had stuff that moved. The key to getting major league hitters out is getting ahead in the count. That's what he did tonight."
Bay and Nady opened the fourth with home runs against Clay Hensley (1-1) to give Pittsburgh a 4-0 lead.
Bay's homer was his 139th with the Pirates, moving him past Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski for eighth place on the franchise list. Bay, who also had a first-inning sacrifice fly, has 15 RBI in his past 10 games.
Nady, who had two hits and scored twice, extended his hitting streak to 13 games.
"It was a good way to get our offense started," Bay said about the back-to-back home runs. "It definitely picks the spirits up."
San Diego manager Bud Black said Bay and Nady were able to take advantage of two mistakes.
"Today, we saw some pitches up (from Hensley)," Black said. "The one to Bay was a fastball that sort of sank, middle, middle-in. That's where you want to stay away from with Bay. He tried to throw a slider down and away to Nady, and that ball was up, too."
Hensley, making his first start of the season, allowed six runs and seven hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked two.
"I felt pretty good," Hensley said. "A couple of pitches got away from me, and it hurt. I could have executed some pitches better."
McLouth, who had a sacrifice fly in the sixth, hit a two-run shot in the eighth against reliever Bryan Corey.
Adrian Gonzalez had two hits and an RBI for the Padres.
- Black said RHP Chris Young, on the disabled list since May 22 with a broken nose, is scheduled to throw a side session Saturday and could start Tuesday against Arizona.
- The Padres, who faced the Pirates for the first time this season, are 7-0 in series at PNC Park. San Diego is 14-8 in Pittsburgh since the ballpark opened in 2001.
- Pittsburgh's Freddy Sanchez is hitting .424 (14-for-33) in eight games since the All-Star break.
- The back-to-back home runs were the first for the Pirates this season.
- The Pirates are 13-2 when Bay has two or more RBI.

So yesterday my foster mom picked me up from my trial week early with my new family because she didn't think they were doing right by me. She got a call saying that I had gotten out. When she got there to look for me, I came right to her to show her all my itchies. I was covered with ticks! Thank God I have already had my Lyme's vaccine. That was only after one night. So when she started asking questions, she found out that I stayed outside all by myself all night long and wasn't allowed in the house at all. This is not what the people had told her was going to happen with me. They also didn't feed me the way my foster mom says I should have been fed. Needless to say my foster mom is now looking for my forever home again. I'm a good girl and she wants to give me a home with the respect that I deserve as a good dog.
My belly is full, it's time to go to sleep with the little girl human. I think she cuddles the best.
Today was a boring day, the family left me in the kitchen and Dog and Maggie got to stay in the cage together. I usually stay with Maggie in the cage :( She said it has something to do with him no being "fixed" and I'm not either whatever that means. They went someplace called the zoo and came back smelling very interesting, I couldn't match scene to scent at all. Usually she comes back smelling like a different dog.
When they came back I was sooooo happy and played with my rope. Daddy took a video of it. Then they rubbed all their things with smell good stuff.
Later on, a family came to visit me. I barked at them of course but it didn't last long at all, I knew my foster mom was proud. She was very happy that I was kissing the children and made friends with the mom. She says tomorrow I'm going to their house to take a walk with their dog. It's a Yorkie whatever that means ... when will these people learn, to me a dog is a dog is a dog, and I love them all. Hopefully she will love me like Maggie does. If they take me I will really miss her.
The human put us in the big metal thing which I'm really starting to like and we went for a drive. At first I was really scared but now I'm the first one in and I get into it by myself, she had to pick me up and put me in the first time and I was really scared. We stopped at a house and Maggie was allowed out but Dog and I had to stay in the car. I found out later that we had to babysit Tiny (my dad) while his humans were somewhere called Disney World. Anyway, we watched Maggie and Tiny play but we didn't stay long, Maggie came back and we went for another drive but it didn't seem like we were going the right way back to the house.
We finally stopped and when we looked around all I could see were big houses and lots of cars (which I think is what the metal things are called). The human got Maggie and Dog out of the car with the littlest human, but I had to stay. I was really sad at first but I soon saw them all coming back and the human got me out this time!!!
What a world I was brought to! So many things to smell and see! This place must have been heaven! There were toys and treats and clothes and other dogs!!! I've never seen anything like it! The human got us 2 new rope toys and some treats. We also got some bones. Dog didn't like sharing his bone like Maggie and I do.
Later on we had another car ride but it was only that a car ride. This place keeps me on my toes. I never know what's going to happen next.
