When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
In today's video, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
In today's video, Brian McLaren explains his own comfort with accepting Scripture and evolution, seeing the process of evolution as a wonderful opportunity for adaptation, growth, and development and a reflection of God's glory.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
This chapter from Mark Noll's book Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind seeks to understand science through a Christ-centered lens. Overall, if one accepts that nature is created and sustained by Jesus Christ, the author explains, then one must conclude that looking at nature is, in fact, the best way to learn about nature.
If God has indeed created all things, pure scientific truth should never be a "problematic thing" for Christians. If anything, scientific truth enriches the faith as it reveals his majesty and provides Christians with a deeper understanding of God.
Both the arts and sciences are facets of "faith seeking understanding," and we reject the cultural trend of seeing each field of endeavor—science, the arts, theology, or even Christian ministry—as distinct, autonomous activities divorced from the others.
Ian Hutchinson draws a sharp line between science and scientism. Scientism holds that all truth emerges from scientific study and explanation. Hutchinson, however, disagrees as he points to science's inability to establish truth about, for example, the events that have occurred in humanity's history on earth. He specifically engages Richard Dawkins assertions (from the book The God Delusion) that God is a scientific hypothesis that has been essentially disproved by science and that evolution explains religion as nothing more than a natural phenomenon.
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
This video features a discussion with Mark Sprinkle -- painter, educator, writer, and BioLogos Senior Fellow -- about the relationship between art and science.
Artist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Mark Sprinkle describes the importance of acknowledging the creative and subjective aspects of human knowledge in the midst of the debates about the relationship between science and faith.
As modern science reminds us just how big this universe is, the same question arises: "What is man?" And as we turn our telescopes to the skies and learn more about them, even more questions seem to arise.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/347,979 filed on Feb. 6, 2006 the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
This invention relates generally to portable or mobile computer terminals and more specifically to mobile terminals having speech functionality for executing and directing tasks using voice or speech.
Wearable, mobile and/or portable computer terminals are used for a wide variety of tasks. Such terminals allow the workers using them ("users") to maintain mobility, while providing the worker with desirable computing and data-processing functions. Furthermore, such terminals often provide a communication link to a larger, more centralized computer system that directs the activities of the user and processes any collected data. One example of a specific use for a wearable/mobile/portable terminal is a product management system that involves product distribution and tracking as well as product inventory management.
Computerized product management systems with mobile terminals are used in various inventory/order-based industries, such as food and retail product distribution, manufacturing, and quality control, for example. An overall integrated product management system may utilize a central computer system that runs a program for product tracking and management and for order filling. A plurality of mobile terminals is employed by the users of the system to communicate (usually in a wireless fashion) with the central system for the product handling. The users perform various manual tasks, such as product picking and placement, per instructions they receive through the terminals, via the central system. The terminals also allow the users to interface with the computer system, such as to respond to inquiries or confirm the completion of certain tasks. Therefore, an overall integrated management system involves a combination of a central computer system for tracking and management, and the people who use and interface with the computer system in the form of order fillers, pickers and other workers. The workers handle the manual aspects of the integrated system under the command and control of information transmitted from the central computer system to the wireless mobile terminals worn by the users.
To provide an interface between the central computer system and the workers, such mobile terminals and the central systems to which they are connected may be voice-driven or speech-driven; i.e., the system operates using human speech. Speech is synthesized and played to the user, via the mobile terminal, to direct the tasks of the user and collect data. The user then answers or asks questions; and the speech recognition capabilities of the mobile terminal convert the user speech to a form suitable for use by the terminal and central system. Thereby, a bi-directional communication stream of information is exchanged over a wireless network between the wireless wearable terminals and the central computer system using speech.
Conventionally, mobile computer terminals having voice or speech capabilities utilize a headset device that is coupled to the mobile terminal. The terminal is worn on the body of a user, such as around the waist, and the headset connects to the terminal, such as with a cord or cable. The headset has a microphone for capturing the voice of the user for voice data entry and commands, and also includes one or more ear speakers for both confirming the spoken words of the user and also for playing voice instructions and other audio that are generated or synthesized by the terminal. Through the headset, the workers are able to receive voice instructions or questions about their tasks, ask and answer questions, report the progress of their tasks, and report working conditions, such as inventory shortages, for example. Therefore, in conventional mobile terminal systems, headsets are matched with respective terminals and worn by the user to operate in conjunction with the terminals.
An illustrative example of a set of worker tasks suitable for a wireless mobile terminal with speech capabilities may involve initially welcoming the worker to the computerized inventory management system and defining a particular task or order, for example, filling a load for a particular truck scheduled to depart from a warehouse. The worker may then answer with a particular area (e.g., freezer) that they will be working in for that order. The system then vocally directs the worker to a particular aisle and bin to pick a particular quantity of an item for the order. The worker then vocally confirms the location that they have gone to and vocally confirms the number of picked items, and/or various other information about the picked items. The system then directs the worker to the next items to be picked for the order, and this continues until the order is filled or otherwise completed. The system may then direct the worker to a loading dock or bay for a particular truck to receive the finished order. As may be appreciated, the specific communications exchanged between the wireless mobile terminal and the central computer system using speech can be task-specific and highly variable.
The mobile speech terminals provide a significant efficiency in the performance of the workers tasks. Specifically, using such terminals, the work is done virtually hands-free without equipment to juggle or paperwork to carry around. However, while existing speech systems provide hands-free operations, they also have various drawbacks associated with their configuration, and particularly with the headset and its interface with the mobile terminal.
One drawback with current systems is that the headset is attached to a terminal with a cord which extends generally from the terminal (typically worn on a belt) to the head of the worker where the headset is located. As may be appreciated, the workers are moving rapidly around their work area and are often jumping on and off forklifts, pallet loaders, and other equipment. Therefore, there is a possibility for a cord to get caught on some object, such as a forklift. When this occurs, the cord will tend to want to separate either from the headset or from the terminal, thus requiring repair or replacement. Generally, the cords are permanently attached to a headset and each worker maintains their own headset (e.g. for individual responsibility and/or hygiene purposes). The cords are then plugged into the terminals; therefore, the separation will generally occur at the terminal socket.
Attempts have been made to appropriately handle a snagged cord and cord separation to prevent such an event from rendering the terminal inoperable and in need of repair and replacement. One suitable approach is illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 6,910,911, which is commonly owned with the present application. However, the loose and dangling cord still remains somewhat of an issue with voice-enabled mobile terminals and their headsets.
Attempts have been made to eliminate the cords between the headset and mobile terminals by using wireless headsets. For example, such an approach is set forth in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/303,271 entitled Wireless Headset and Method for Robust Voice Data Communication, filed Dec. 16, 2005, which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. However, such a system still requires a separate mobile terminal for use with the headset. As may be appreciated, multiple headsets and mobile terminals increases the number of units that must be purchased, maintained and tracked at a facility. In a large warehouse facility, this may be a significant task and also present a significant cost in maintaining the equipment. Therefore, there is still a need to improve upon existing mobile terminal systems and particularly to improve upon such systems that are utilized in speech tasks or speech-enabled environments. One suitable solution is to incorporate the functionality of a speech terminal with a head-worn device. This eliminates the need for separate headsets and addresses the issues noted above. However, other issues have not been adequately addressed and thus there remains a need for a mobile head-worn terminal that is suitable for speech-directed applications.
Any solution to the above-noted issues must address wearability and control issues by providing a headset that is operable on both sides of the head without a significant positional shift in the layout of the terminal and its controls. Furthermore, since the headset terminal is worn for extended periods on the head, it must be comfortable for the user and readily positioned on either side of the head. Weight is also a consideration, as is complexity in the construction of the headset terminal. Because of the increased processing functions that are necessary in a speech-enabled headset terminal, the space usage, the circuit component layout, and necessary wiring must also be addressed in a suitably robust, yet aesthetically pleasing design. Loose or exposed wires or cables in a headset are unappealing and certainly undesirable in a work environment.
Power considerations are also an issue in a headset terminal, as the weight of a battery is no longer carried at the waist of a user. Any battery must be readily removable and replaceable without a complicated mounting assembly that adds complexity and weight to the overall headset design.
Furthermore, because of the increased functionality of a headset terminal, it must have the ability to operate wirelessly with an overall central system or other components.
Still further, in conventional headset/terminal assemblies, the users generally maintain their own headset for hygiene purposes and share the mobile terminals. Incorporating the terminal functionality into a headset eliminates the separate shared terminal, and thus there is a need to address the hygiene aspects of the work environment in a headset terminal, while allowing sharing of the headset terminal among various worker shifts.
Accordingly, there is a need, unmet by current communication systems and mobile terminals, to address the issues noted above. There is particularly an unmet need in the area of terminals for performing speech-directed work and other speech-directed tasks using synthesized speech and speech recognition.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above and the Detailed Description given below, serve to explain the invention.
The present invention is directed to a unique headset configuration. One embodiment of the present invention is a speech-enabled mobile computer in the form of a wireless headset for handling speech-directed applications that require high mobility and high data transmission speed, such as warehousing, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, logging, and defense applications. The headset terminal of the present invention provides full speech functionality, is ultra lightweight, i.e., less than 10 ounces, provides full shift operation on a single battery charge, and includes a modular architecture that allows the separation of the "personal" components of the wireless headset mobile computer, i.e., those that touch the user's head, ears, or mouth, from the non-personal expensive electronics and, thereby, promotes good hygiene and low cost of ownership. The embodiment of the present invention provides the full speech functionality of a Vocollect Talkman� or T2� or T5� which is sold by Vocollect of Pittsburgh, Pa., the owner of the present application.
The mobile headset of the invention also incorporates unique features in its controls, headband structure, battery configuration and microphone/speaker assembly, that enhance the operation, comfort, durability, versatility and robustness of the headset. While one particular embodiment of the invention as discussed herein is in the form of a fully speech-enabled mobile headset terminal, the various aspects of the headset design as disclosed herein are equally applicable in a stand-alone headset that operates with a separate, body-worn, mobile computer terminal. That is, the headset features disclosed herein are also equally applicable to a conventional headset that couples by wire or wirelessly to a body-worn terminal. The features of the invention, for example, are applicable to use with the wireless headset and system set forth in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/303,271, noted above. Furthermore, the aspects of the invention have applicability to headsets in general, and not just to those used in conjunction with mobile terminals. Therefore, various aspects of the present invention are not limited only to mobile speech terminals and similar applications, but have applicability to headsets in general, wired or wireless. Of course, the aspects of the invention have particular applicability to wireless headsets and mobile headset terminals.
Headset terminal 50 includes one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) 10 that contain the electronic components of the headset terminal. For example, the PCB 10 might be located in the earcup assembly 52 of headset terminal 50 as shown in
For example, headset terminal may operate with the functionality of the system disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/247,291 entitled Integrated Wearable Terminal for Voice-Directed Work and RFID IdentificationNerification, filed Oct. 11, 2005, which application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. To that end, the processor 12 may include the necessary speech recognition/synthesis circuitry for voice or speech applications, such as those applications that direct the work of a user. The headset terminal supports various operator languages, with a wide range of text-to-speech functionality. Terminal 50 is also configured with "record and playback" technology. Terminal 50 and processor 12 are configured, as appropriate, to be fully functional with existing Talkman™ software infrastructure components, including Voice Console™, Voice Link™ and Voice Builder™ components available from Vocollect.
Wireless headset terminal 50 is a strong, lightweight computer terminal that is especially designed for use in industrial environments. The terminal may operate in an environment −30� C. to 50� C. The user wears headset terminal 50 on their head and, thus, retains full freedom of movement. There are no exposed wires or cords to get caught or snagged. Through speaker 28, the operator receives information or commands in a speech or voice format and responds directly to the commands by speaking into a microphone 26. All information is relayed, in real time or batch, to and from a central computer (not shown) through a wireless RF network (not shown), as is known in the art of speech-enabled systems.
Processor/CPU 12 is a general purpose processor for managing the overall operation of wireless headset terminal 50. Processor/CPU 12 may be, for example, a 600 MHz Intel� XScale™ processor, or other processor, indicative of currently available technology. The XScale™ processor combines the processor and memory in a small square device. Processor 12 is capable of handling various speech recognition algorithms and speech synthesis algorithms without the need for additional speech recognition technology, such as ASICs or DSP components. Processor 12, in one embodiment, thus includes speech recognition circuitry and speech synthesis circuitry for recognizing and synthesizing speech. Processor 12 also includes suitable software for providing speech applications, such as work applications to communicate activity information with a user by speech and also to collect data from the user about the activity also using speech. Such speech applications as used for worker direction are known and are available from Vocollect, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa. Processor 12 is suitably electrically connected to the various components of the terminal as shown in
The audio input/output stage 14 receives an audio signal from microphone 26, which may be a standard boom-mounted, directional, noise-canceling microphone that is positioned near the user's mouth. Audio input/output stage 14 also provides a standard audio output circuit for driving speaker 28, which may be a standard audio speaker located in the earcup of wireless headset terminal 50 as shown in
WLAN radio component 18 is a standard WLAN radio that uses well-known wireless networking technology, such as WiFi, for example, that allows multiple devices to share a single high-speed connection for a WLAN. WLAN refers to any type of wireless local area network, including 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g and a full 801.22i wireless security suite. WLAN radio 18 is integrated into wireless headset terminal 50. Furthermore, WLAN radio 18 provides high bandwidth that is suitable for handling applications that require high data transmission speed, such as warehousing, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, logging, and defense applications. WLAN radio 18 may be used for transmitting data in real time or in batch form to/from the central computer 19 and receiving work applications, tasks or assignments, for example.
User interface 20 provides control of the headset terminal and is coupled with suitable control components 64, such as control buttons as illustrated in
WPAN interface device 22 is a component that permits communication in a wireless personal area network (WPAN), such as Bluetooth, for example, which is a wireless network for interconnecting devices centered around a person's workspace, e.g., the headset terminal user's workspace. The WPAN interface device 22 allows terminal 50 to interface with any WPAN-compatible, body-worn wireless peripheral devices associated with the terminal user, such as Bluetooth devices.
Battery pack 30 is a lightweight, rechargeable power source that provides suitable power for running terminal 50 and its components. Battery pack 30, for example, may include one or more lithium-sulfur batteries that have suitable capacity to provide full shift operation of wireless headset terminal 50 on a single charge.
As noted,
Headset 50 includes an earcup structure or assembly 52 connected with an opposing power source/electronics structure or assembly 54. As may be appreciated, the earcup assembly 52 couples with the ear of a user while the power source/electronics assembly 54 sits on the opposite side of a user's head. Both structures 52, 54 are coupled together by a headband assembly 56 as discussed further hereinbelow. Headset 50 incorporates various features of the invention. In one embodiment of the invention, the headset 50 itself is a fully-operable, voice-enabled mobile computer terminal that includes the necessary electronics, as discussed above, to provide speech recognition and speech synthesis for various speech-directed applications. To that end, the electronics, which would be incorporated on a suitable printed circuit board 10, may be located in either the earcup assembly 52 and/or the power supply/electronics assembly 54. The earcup assembly 52 is adjustable as discussed further hereinbelow and shown in
The earcup assembly 52 includes a housing 58 which houses the various components of the earcup assembly, such as a speaker 28, and supports the boom assembly 62 that may include electronics 10, including any electronics which might be utilized to make the headset a mobile terminal for voice applications as shown in
The headband assembly 56 includes two transverse bands 74 a , 74 b which extend from side-to-side across a user's head to hold the earcup assembly 52 and power source/electronics assembly 54 on the user's head, in a somewhat typical headband fashion. The multiple transverse bands assure a secure fit on the user's head and may include cushions or pads 76, also made of foam or another suitable material for comfort and fit. A stabilizing strap 78 intersects the two transverse bands 74 a, 74 b and is coupled to each transverse band respectively with a clip 80 or other suitable fixation structure. The stabilizing strap 78 is free to slide through the clips for positioning between the transverse bands. The stabilizing strap 78 also extends partially along the back of the user's head and/or the forehead, as desired by the user, to provide additional stability to headset terminal 50. The strap may slide back and forth so that the headset terminal 50 may be worn on either side of the head. At the end of the stabilizing strap 78 are stop structures 82 and respective cushions 84. The stop structures limit the sliding of the stabilizing strap 78 through the clips 80, so the stabilizing strap cannot be slid past the endmost position. The cushions 84 provide suitable comfort for the user.
Stabilizing strap 78 provides a significant advantage in combination with the multiple transverse bands 74 a , 74 b. As may be appreciated, the headset terminal 50 may carry significant weight when utilized as a mobile, voice-enabled terminal with suitable processing electronics and a power source, such as a battery. The battery in particular, located in power source/electronics assembly 54 is oftentimes significantly heavy so as to cause a stability issue. The present invention, which utilizes multiple transverse bands 74 a, 74 b coupled with a stabilizing strap 78, provides the desired stability and comfort for the user. Furthermore, headset terminal 50, is utilized in environments wherein the user is moving very rapidly through multiple tasks and is bending over and standing up quite often. Therefore, the increased stability of the headset provided by one aspect of the present invention is certainly a desirable feature. The power source/electronics assembly 54, as illustrated in
The UP and DOWN buttons 102, 104 are coupled to user interface components 20 and may provide a way of moving through various control menus provided by software that is run by the headset terminal 50. For example, the buttons might provide UP/DOWN volume control or allow UP/DOWN scrolling through a menu. The buttons might also have the functionality of turning the headset terminal ON and OFF or providing any of a variety of different controls for the headset terminal. Accordingly, while the buttons 102, 104 of controls 64 are indicated as UP/DOWN buttons herein, that terminology is not limiting with respect to their functionality. Furthermore, while two buttons are illustrated in the Figures of this application, multiple other control buttons or controls might be utilized in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the buttons 102, 104 are positioned on opposite sides of the boom assembly rotation axis 106 as illustrated in
For example, as illustrated in
Along those lines, the stabilizing strap 78 as illustrated in
In one embodiment of the invention, an auxiliary microphone 27 might be utilized to reduce noise, to determine when the user speaks into the microphone 26 or for other purposes (see
Turning again to
Turning now to the boom assembly 62, one section of the boom housing 132 cooperates with another section 134 of the boom housing in a clamshell fashion to capture a printed circuit board 124 and an anchor structure 136 for the boom arm 108. A portion of the anchor structure is captured between the sides of the boom housing sections 132, 134. Controls 64 are appropriately and operationally coupled with the boom housing 132, 134 and printed circuit board 124 through a mounting bracket 65 as illustrated in
Printed circuit board 124 contains one or more of the components illustrated on PCB 10 in
The boom assembly housing, and particularly section 134 of the housing rotatably interfaces with the retainer 126 which is secured with earcup housing 58. More specifically, the present invention provides a snap retaining arrangement which secures the rotating boom assembly 62 with adequate bearing surfaces in the earcup housing 58. The present invention does so without shoulder screws, washers, or other elements which have traditionally resided in or through valuable circuit board space. The boom assembly 62 readily snaps in place with housing 58 and freely rotates therewith as necessary for utilization of the headset terminal 50 on either the right side of the head or the left side of the head. Furthermore, the rotating boom assembly provides adjustment of the microphone 26 with respect to the user's mouth.
More specifically, referring to
The unique snap fit provided by the invention eliminates the screws, washers and other fasteners engaging the circuit board 124. Thus the entire board may be used for electronic components. Therefore, a greater amount of the circuit board may be used for the processing circuitry 12, such as for voice processing in accordance with one aspect of the invention. The invention thus provides sufficient board space while keeping the headset terminal 50 small and lightweight. Component costs are further reduced, as are assembly costs and time. The boom assembly 62, housing 58 and other components might be made of a suitable, lightweight plastic.
Turning now to
Specifically, as illustrated in
Referring now to
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the headset terminal 50 is configured so that the cable 160 articulates completely within the structures of the headset terminal and is hidden thereby. The effective length of the cable 160 may dynamically change while adjusting the headset fit due to the unique configuration of saddle 72 and the sliding arm 68 in hiding and guiding the cable, and providing protection and control of the cable dynamics.

The snap retention ribs 213 and specifically the stop surfaces 211 are normal to the sliding plane of the latch as illustrated by reference arrow 230 in
In another aspect of the invention, the modular architecture of wireless headset terminal 50 allows the separation of the "personal" components of headset terminal 50, i.e., those that touch the user's head, ears, or mouth, from the non-personal, expensive electronics since the headset is a unitary system with no separate body-worn terminal.
In single shift operations, the entire wireless headset terminal 50 is placed in the charger while not in use. In multi-shift operations, the personal components can be removed from the terminal 50 so the terminal might be reused. Referring to
In use, one typical operation of terminal 50 might be as follows. At the beginning of a shift, a user selects any available terminal at their workplace from a pool of terminals. The user then assembles their personal items to the earcup assembly and microphone boom assembly. In particular, the user might secure pad 60 to the earcup assembly. A fresh battery 92 might be installed and latched. The user may then install their microphone windscreen 29 onto microphone 26 of microphone boom assembly 62. Once all assembly is complete, the user places wireless headset terminal 50 on their head, such that earpad 60 is in contact with their ear, microphone 26 is positioned in close proximity to their mouth, and headpad 96 is in contact with their head. The user then activates terminal 50 by use of controls 64 of user interface 20 and, as a result, power is delivered from battery 92 to wireless headset terminal 50. Subsequently, program and product data may be loaded from a central system (not shown) into terminal 50 via the Wi-Fi radio aspects. Voice commands are processed by CPU 12 and the appropriate response is generated, which is directed digitally to audio input/output stage 14. Audio input/output stage 14 then converts the digital data to an analog audio signal, which is transmitted to speaker 28. Subsequently, the user hears spoken words through speaker 28 and takes action accordingly. The user may then speak into microphone 26, which generates an analog audio signal, that is then transmitted to audio input/output stage 14. Audio input/output stage 14 then converts the analog signal to a digital word that represents the audio sound received from microphone 26 and, subsequently, CPU 12 processes the information. During the operation of headset terminal 50, data within memory 16 or CPU 12 is being updated continuously with a record of task data, under the control of CPU 12. Furthermore, radio transmission occurs between Wi-Fi radio 18 and a central computer (not shown) through a wireless RF network for transmitting or receiving task data in real time or batch form. When the user has completed their tasks, such as at the end of a shift, the user removes headset terminal 50 from their head and deactivates the headset with the controls 64.
In one embodiment, wireless headset terminal 50, in addition to the noted features above, provides the following features:
As noted above, the headset terminal 50 may carry significant weight when utilized as a mobile, voice-enabled terminal with suitable processing electronics and a power source, such as a battery. The battery in particular is oftentimes significantly heavy so as to cause a stability issue. For instance, such stability issues may arise when the head is not in an upright position or during rapid head movements. The traditional manner for correcting stability issues is to increase the clamping force of the headset to the head of a user. This approach, however, results in the headset being relatively uncomfortable, especially when worn over an extended period of time. Thus, it is desirable to provide a headset that may handle significant weight thereon but is still stable even during rapid motions or atypical head positions that do not sacrifice comfort. One embodiment of such a headset includes the headband assembly 56 shown in
The elongate band 234 includes a first end 240 adapted to be coupled proximate to one of the assemblies 52, 54 and a second, opposed end 242 adapted to be coupled proximate to the other assembly 52, 54. The elongate band 234 further includes a first surface 244 adapted to confront the back of the head when being worn by a user, and a second surface 246 facing opposite to the first surface 244. In an exemplary embodiment, the elongate band 234 has a composite construction comprising a foam layer sandwiched between two pieces of coverstock that are, for example, stitched together to secure the foam layer therebetween. The coverstock may be formed from leather, vinyl, cloth and other materials and configured to provide an aesthetic appearance. For example, the coverstock may be a faux leather. The coverstock is adapted to provide not only an aesthetic appearance, but also adapted to provide a structural aspect to the band 234 sufficient to withstand the tensile and other forces applied to the strap during normal usage. The foam layer, which may be either open or closed cell foam, is adapted to provide a relatively soft, more-comfortable strap. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the elongate band 234 may be formed from other materials including various synthetic or natural materials. Those of ordinary skill in the art will further recognize that the band 234 is not limited to a composite structure as other unitary structures may be used that satisfy both the structural aspect and aesthetic aspects. For instance, neoprene� and other synthetic or natural rubber could be used to make elongate band 234.
As shown in
As mentioned above, the connecting member 236 is adapted to be coupled to headset terminal 230 proximate earcup assembly 52. This coupling is configured so that the connecting member 236 has minimal contact with the head. More particularly, as the components of the connecting member 236 may be metal or other relatively rigid materials, it is desirable that these components do not contact the head to cause discomfort to the wearer. In one embodiment, the clip 256 may be adapted to couple to the eyelet 258 positioned on a base or lower portion of sliding arm 68 and above the earcup housing 58. In particular, the eyelet 258 may be positioned on an inner surface 260 of the sliding arm 68 and sufficiently spaced from earcup housing 58 so that the connecting member 236 does not have or has minimal contact with the head or ear of the user. The eyelet 258 may be integrally formed with the sliding arm 68, such as through a molding process, or may be a separate piece coupled to sliding arm through some other process, such as sonic welding, adhesive bonding, friction or snap fit, etc. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the hook 256 may couple to the headset terminal 230 proximate the earcup assembly 52 at other locations so that contact between the connecting member 236 and the head is prevented or minimized. For instance, the connecting member 236 may be coupled to the headset terminal 230 at the earcup assembly 52 itself, such as along the earcup housing 58.
As shown in
In another aspect, the coupling between the headset terminal 230 and the stabilizing strap 232 may be configured to ensure that the strap 232 may be used regardless of the side of the head on which the earcup assembly 52 and power source/electronics assembly 54 are positioned. In particular, a user utilizing the headset terminal 230 may want to position the earcup assembly 52 such that it is either over the right ear or the left ear. Thus, it is desirable that the strap 232 operate in a similar manner no matter what ear the earcup assembly 52 is positioned. To this end, the connecting elements on the headset terminal 230 (i.e., eyelet 258 and cross bar 266) to which the strap 232 couples may advantageously be located along a central plane 290 of the headset terminal 230. Coupling the strap 230 to the headset terminal 230 within central plane 290 creates a symmetric configuration that permits the strap to couple to the headset and operate in a similar manner. In this way, the stabilizing strap 232 is reversible and can be used no matter what orientation the headset terminal 230 is placed on the head.
In another aspect of the invention, the stabilizing strap 232 may be configured to be adjustable. To this end, the elongate band 234 may include a first band portion 272 and a second band portion 274 that cooperate so as provide an adjustment feature. The first band portion 272 includes an end coupled to the earcup assembly 52 in a manner described above and the second band portion 272 includes an end coupled to the power source/electronics assembly 54 as described above. In one embodiment, the second band portion 274 includes an enclosed slot or opening 276 adapted to receive the first band portion 272. In particular, the first band portion 272 may be inserted through slot 276 and folded back on itself to form a loop 278 and defining a free end 280 (
In use, the stabilizing strap 232 may be tightened by releasing the hook and loop fasteners and pulling on the free end 280 so that an additional length of the first band portion 272 is passed through slot 276. Once the desired tightening has been achieved, the hook and loop fasteners 275, 277 are re-engaged to secure the first and second band portions 272, 274 together. In a similar manner, the stabilizing strap 232 may be loosened by releasing the hook and loop fasteners and feeding a length of the free end back through slot 276. Once the desired amount of loosening has been achieve, the hook and loop fasteners are re-engaged to secure the first and second band portions 272, 274 together.
As shown in
While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of the embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicant to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art.

Haefner, Yewer to represent Bucs in NCAA track regionals
Sunday, May 18, 2003ATLANTA, Ga. (May 18, 2003) - Patiently waiting through hours of delays due to severe weather and malfunctions in the timing system, members of the East Tennessee State University men's and women's outdoor track teams finally had their last opportunity of the spring to reach NCAA regional qualifying marks during the Georgia Tech Invitational this past weekend. During the two-day event the bright spot for ETSU came on Friday in the 3,000-meter steeplechase as junior David Haefner (Hamburg, N.Y.) posted a second place finish with a time of 9:08.11. That time qualifies him for the regionals later this month, where he will be joined by teammate Brad Yewer (Newbury, England), who will be competing in the 1,500-meter run. Yewer, who was slowed with an injured hamstring this weekend, did not improve on the regional-qualifying times he earned earlier this year and missed out on action Saturday. In addition, ETSU's Kim Simmons (Knoxville) and Donald Cabbler (Roanoke, Va.) failed to reach their qualifying times. Simmons posted a 62.26 in the 400-meter hurdles and Cabbler finished with a 55.07 in the 400-meter hurdles. "Brad was nursing a hamstring so he didn't compete on Saturday," said ETSU assistant coach Michelle Byrne. "But David and Brad will compete in the regionals and that's great for them, plus Kim and Donald got to take a great step forward by training and competing this far into the postseason."

And then this beautiful set of large print encyclopedias came in - and what can I say, I fell in love with them! :D Because I needed more shelves for my piles of books, I figured it couldn't hurt to try this. I'm pretty happy with the results but I had to redo several things.
The picture below is a recent one. (As of November 2008) It's held up really well!
Step 1: What you'll need!
- 8 "L" brackets per cube (one cube = 4 books)
- enough screws to hold the brackets.
- Nuts and bolts to secure the books at the back. (I will explain this later!)
- A drill (or two if you're awesome) and several drill bit sizes.
I'm sorry I can't be more exact, but depending on the thickness of your books, you'll need to adjust the screw and bolt length. That's really the trickiest part and what caused me the most trouble. I ended up going with size 8 screws at 1 1/4 inches, and size 8 bolts at 1 3/4 inches because of the varying sizes of books within my set. Confusing! I also used wood screws. They looked more "grippy" - and I figured that would help with the pages of the books.
I ended up spending roughly $50-60 on this project. I can't give an exact cost because there was a lot of trying and then returning. Home Depot hates me, I'm sure.
Why paint these? The covers are so nice as-is!
Cute kitty... :-)
All joking aside, it looks great!
I was tempted, but I don't actually have the $5 to spare. :=(
Check out the other different configurations he does also.... Good instructable by the way

|There Really is a Town Named Podunk
And naturally it's in Vermont, world center of tiny towns and villages located in the middle of nowhere.
I have John Hughes to thank for placing this photo on his wonderful Megapickles website. I cropped the sign photo from a much larger photo of a nice looking field in Podunk so click on the link to see a better image.
I have written about his website several times previously because it one of my favorites and is superbly well done I think - a new photograph every day! To see a wonderful series of pastoral Vermont photos, check this month's photos. One great Vermont photograph after another.
Google Maps says there are Podunks in CT, PA, and two in MI. Two! Whoever heard of two towns in the same state with the same name?
Vermont's Podunk is located in the southern part of the state so if you are going to be in the Brattleboro, Bennington, Manchester area, you can take a nice drive in the country to see it. Don't forget to take your camera so you can have bragging rights that you have been everywhere including Podunk.
And finally, there is a website called ePodunk that I have used a few times to do some research. It has good statistics and other information on most every town and city in the US including our beloved Podunk VT.

U.N. General Assembly: 'No Validity' For Crimea Referendum
Originally published on Thu March 27, 2014 5:06 pm
The U.N. General Assembly has approved a strong rebuke of Moscow, calling the referendum leading to the annexation of Crimea illegal by a substantial margin of members voting, despite Russia's lobbying against the resolution.
The "Draft Resolution on Territorial Integrity of Ukraine" passed with 100 countries voting for it, 11 opposed, 58 abstentions. Two dozen countries did not vote either because their representatives were not present or their dues to the world body had lapsed.
The resolution says that the referendum in Crimea — in which the Kremlin says the population of the Black Sea peninsula voted overwhelmingly to join Russia — has "no validity." It calls for settling the crisis through political dialogue and for all sides to refrain from "inflammatory rhetoric."
The nonbinding resolution has mostly symbolic value, but is seen as a moral victory for Ukraine.
"This support has come from all corners of the world, which shows that this [is] not only a regional matter but a global one," Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia said after the vote.
The United Nations resolution comes on the same day that the International Monetary Fund approved a loan deal for Kiev worth as much as $18 billion, and the U.S. Congress approved $1 billion in loan guarantees for the country.
The White House's national security spokesman Ben Rhodes tweeted that the United Nations vote is the "latest signal of Russia's isolation and support for Ukraine."

A beautifully designed, purpose built ski resort Pra Loup is a well kept secret situated in the Southern Alps and is relatively unknown to British skiers. Everything is conveniently located and there is an excellent range of amenities providing everything you could want for on a ski holiday.
Pra Loup domain is divided into two levels: the lower part, "La Molanes" (1,500 m high), offers pistes for family skiing, while the upper part (1,600 m high) is more appropriate for experienced skiers.
The lift system is very good and reliable natural snowfall is backed up by award winning snow making facilities which mean that Pra Loup offers great conditions long into the season.
The Molanès chair lift will make your departure to go skiing easier, carrying you straight to an altitude of 1820 metres. A restaurant of altitude will allow you to have lunch or cup of coffee.
You do not currently have any holidays in your shortlist.
You currently have in your shortlist.
"I was so impressed with the way Laura handled my initial call that as soon as I got home I decided to forget all of the other agents and companies and call her straight back and book the holiday. Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."

Limberios protest in Fremont
Alot of happy faces
I see meatball and he is mighty fine sexy!
C'mon man!! My wife and I have known meatball forever, good people. Say hello to Craig, Meat!!
Love me some Meatball!!! He is the best of people!
Good luck to the family on getting peace and the truth (if at all possible)
This is not a joke, the Limberios family wants answers. Why, do we as citizens have to actually go to DeWine for answers when Sandusky County has them? Why do we have to point out Sandusky County's indiscretions? Why do we have to fight, not only for "Justice For Jake", but for everyone else who may have been wronged within this county? I feel like we are contacting the "babysitters" parents, voicing our opinion, when the so called "babysitters" were well trained and should have handled all situations at hand.
The pendulum will now start to swing the other way. Now that their ship is sinking,they'll all look to point the finger at each other and abandon ship leaving Dean Henry holding the wheel. Then they'll try and play nice to befriend the family and issue a statement that they really feel sorry for them and only wanted the best for them. What this family has been put through should be a crime in itself.
I don't know what this "meatball" stuff is all about, but it doesn't belong here in the comment section of the Sandusky Register online.
just someone we know that was there SUPPORTING the family, like all of us are..OK?
Say so, instead of making everyone else who reads these comments, guess? I don't mind reading about friends getting along but the whole "meatball" part just took it some place where most would not know. ok?
Hey, you leave meatball alone luvblues. He did nothing to you.

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Wisconsin Most Special Interest
What is Wisconsin most special special interest of them all? Christian Schneider discusses on NRO.
Yet in Wisconsin, it seems somewhat difficult to get anyone to refer to government unions as a "special interest." Unions refer to themselves as "the middle class," or the "hard-working people" of the state — as if every member of the middle class worked for a state or local government. To the Left, any collection of individuals that uses their own money to influence a public debate is known as an "interest group." Conversely, if a similar group uses taxpayer money boosted through union dues to do the same thing, it is known as a "grassroots organization."
Last year, these little mom-and-pop unions spent $25 million in Wisconsin in an attempt to recall six Republican state senators. According to the recent finance reports, unions have spent well over $5 million in the Walker recall so far, and the Democratic primary hasn't even yet been held. In large part, Walker needs to raise prodigious sums of money to keep up with the union spending that is expected during the general-election campaign prior to June 5.
Not only are unions a special interest, they are what we can call an "enhanced" special interest. It is one thing for private interests to spend their own money on campaigns; if the Sierra Club or NRA want to influence elections, they have to find members, solicit them, and keep them on board.
But public-sector unions have to do none of this. In his report Dues and Deep Pockets: Public-Sector Unions' Money Machine, Daniel DiSalvo of the Manhattan Institute describes how state laws mandate union participation, thus making dues compulsory. Taxpayers pay taxes to pay for public employees, whose wages are then garnished and sent to union leaders, who spend that money to elect officials that will vote for higher taxes to pay higher wages and hire more union members. Wash, rinse, repeat.
These mandatory dues add up. In 2010, according to DiSalvo, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) reported an income of $211,806,537; the National Education Association (a major teachers' union) received $397,953,771; and Service Employees International Union received $318,755,793.

Something I'd have found too hard to resist---
would be to say something like,
"Yeah, I'll take it as a trade in. Heck, them tires are still pretty fresh, I think I can sell them"...
You know he'll leave with a big smile,
and hope he didn't 'help' you so much he ended up cheating himself....
Then put them on his new trailer.
Can ya imagine the expression when he picks it up?

i have to agree thats pretty good right there. know im gonna watch who i buy trailers from and check the tires.welding...its awsome
You saw what I got, here's what he got
Just thought I would show what he left with compared to what he came with. The little trailer is going to be outfitted with a small chemical tank and a small gas powered pump for pond stabilization at the local golf courses and will be towed behind a 4 wheeler. The bigger trailer is for the 4 wheeler and tank trailer to be stored on while in transport. Believe it or not he used to tow his 4 wheeler on that pieces of junk I cut up for him.

Wife and I saw something interesting this past Sat. night. We were driving down one of the main highways in our town when we started to pull up along side of a pickup pulling a fairly large trailer on the trailer were about 3 4-wheelers and then there was a smaller trailer behind the 4-wheelers. What caught my eye was one of the tie down straps was trailing along behind the large trailer as it was going down the highway. As we pulled up to a stoplight in the center of town this pickup pulling the trailer was in the inside lane and I was in the outside lane just a short ways behind the larger trailer. I noticed that the tie down strap seemed to be tied to the side rails of the trailer but the strap was busted in the center area and there was no ratchet to the strap anyplace. I was sitting there wondering what the strap was supposed to be holding in place, and wondering if the guy had lost part of his load off the trailer. When the light turned green the guy driving the pickup started to pull ahead rapidly and here came the little trailer shooting off of the larger trailer.
The smaller trailer was probably about 4-5' wide and about 9-10' long. The back of the small trailer hit the highway and the was still coming back when it hung on the tongue of the small trailer. The pickup did a very fast stop there in the highway and the passengers in the pickup looked very surprised. I was very glad I was not in the same lane as the pickup and trailer was in. The vehicle behind them came very close to being hit by the small trailer as it slid off the larger one.
I imagine those guys in the pickup will remember that incident for a long time to come. Hope they do a better job of tieing down the load they are hauling in the future and maybe check the straps once in awhile to make sure everything is still okay.
I have tried all sorts of products over the years but I found for the price and durability rustoleum rusty metal primer and then top coat with rustoleum enamel gives me the best bang for the buck. I've tried all sorts of industrial coatings and none seem to hold up as well, I've tried going high dollar and also going cheap, and rustoleum out does them all for what I'm using it for. I know I have probably left myself open for everyone to suggest other products, but if the are out there I haven't found them yet.
fun4now, I'll take a roastbeef and provalone on a hard roll, mayo, salt and pepper,with a little bit of lettuce and don't forget the large Iced Tea to wash it down with.
Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate it, but stop it now as my head won't be fitting back in the hood if it keeps getting swelled up.If necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

From running Indiana's Department of Local Government Finance to serving as counsel at two large firms, Beth Henkel, 58, is no stranger to big law jobs. But, in February, Henkel grew weary of the long hours and decided to take her business and go home — literally. She opened the Law Office of Beth Henkel LLC in several spare rooms in her house in Indianapolis.
Henkel isn't alone in her decision to work at home. Of the estimated 29.6 million small businesses in the United States, about half are home-based businesses, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. A recent report on entrepreneurship found that U.S. entrepreneurial activity is at its highest level in 14 years, with people ages 55 to 64 representing the second most active group, slightly behind those ages 35 to 44.
While working from home made her commute much easier, other job-related issues remained complicated. Henkel found herself challenged by the ins and outs of insurance, taxes, zoning, licensing and the like. Those obstacles don't go away just because you're wearing your pajamas to work. If you're thinking of setting up a home office, here are some practical things to keep in mind.
Insurance. Before you open your doors, call your insurance agent or broker to find out what is and isn't covered by your homeowners policy, says Timothy Gaspar, founder of Gaspar Insurance Services in Encino, Calif. Policies will typically cover basic office equipment, but the coverage often tops out at $2,500. Homeowners policies also usually exclude business-related liability claims by employees or customers who get hurt on your property.
If you have pricey equipment or a lot of foot traffic to your home, you should consider a separate business insurance policy. A typical policy might provide additional liability and business-equipment coverage, as well as loss-of-income coverage in the event you can't work out of your home due to, say, a fire. Costs vary, but annual premiums might run $500 for $1 million in coverage, Gaspar says. In addition, if you have a business with specific risks, you might require specialized coverage. Henkel, for example, carries legal malpractice insurance.
Taxes. Don't think you can hide from the Internal Revenue Service just because you're now working in the basement. Home-based businesses often face municipal or corporate taxes, just like their out-of-home counterparts. If your income is very modest, however, you are often eligible for tax exemptions. Ask your accountant.

Securing the Future: The Endowment for Excellence
Those of us who have graduated from Texas Law know that we were recipients of the best deal in the history of American legal education. The schooling and opportunities we received were as good as any in the country, but we usually paid less -- much, much less -- than our friends who went to peer schools. We can't pay it back, but we can "pay it forward" by creating an endowment that will keep this great tradition alive for the next generation of Texas students.
We therefore have launched the Endowment for Excellence, a drive to raise scholarship funds that will keep the Law School affordable and allow us to keep attracting the best students to Texas. Since last Fall, our alumni and the Law School Foundation have committed more than $15 million to this program. While matching funds from the Foundation last, your contribution is doubled. For example, a permanent endowed scholarship requires $50,000; you can get there by contributing $5,000 per year for five years and triggering a match from the Foundation in the same amount.
This is the most important fundraising drive the Law School has undertaken in a generation. We need everyone on board! Please let me know if you can help. Or contact Jennifer Sloan, Director of Development, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 512-232-0729.
Annual Giving
Texas Law is committed to attracting and retaining the best legal scholars and students from across the country. To preserve these high standards of excellence and continue to move toward the future, we need your help. Every gift that is made to the law school, whether for unrestricted use, student support, programmatic support or faculty and research support, will ensure that our high standards of excellence are preserved for years to come.
Endowed Funds
Endowments provide the critical support for faculty, students and programs that distinguish a good law school from a great one. The generosity of our alumni and friends help The University of Texas School of Law recruit world-class faculty, provide scholarships to outstanding students and support the sixth largest academic law library in the country.
100% Giving Challenge
The 100% Giving Challenge is an outstanding way for you and your firm to support the law school. To qualify for membership, 100% of the Texas Law Alumni at your firm contribute to the law school's Annual Fund during the fiscal year, which starts Sept. 1 and runs until Aug. 31. Firms must have a total of 10 alumni or more to participate.

First off, I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to impose a big debate on who is better. That being said, which rookie receiver do you think ends the season with more receptions, and which one ends up with more receiving yards?
I'm going to say Dobson gets more receptions, but Thompkins gets more yards.

Interpretive Handbook
57802 :
Maternal Serum Screening, Integrated, Specimen #2
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
This test combines a first-and second-trimester specimen to screen low-risk pregnancies for Down syndrome (DS), open neural tube defects (ONTD) and trisomy 18 (T18).
Collection of two blood samples is required for this test. A first trimester ultrasound to measure the fetal nuchal translucency (NT) is optional (see special instructions).
Patient demographics and analyte/ultrasound measurements are used to calculate multiple of the median (MoM) values for each of the laboratory analytes and the NT. The pattern of the MoM values is used to calculate post-test risks for ONTD, DS and T18.
Markers used for assessment of risk include first-trimester PAPP-A with or without NT and second-trimester AFP, hCG, unconjugated estriol (uE3), and dimeric Inhibin A.
A DS risk of 1 in 110 or worse is reported as abnormal. This risk cutoff predicts a detection rate of 87 percent at a screen positive rate of 1.0%.
A T18 risk of 1 in 100 or worse is reported as abnormal. This risk cutoff predicts a detection rate of 90 percent at a screen positive rate of <0.5%.
ARUP uses a singleton AFP MoM cutoff of >or=2.5. If the interpretation is "high AFP," there is an increased risk of an ONTD in the pregnancy. This cutoff value predicts a detection rate of 80% at a screen positive rate of 1.5%. High AFP also occurs in unrecognized twin pregnancies and with underestimated gestational age.
Pregnancies at an increased risk for ONTD with an AFP MoM <2.5, but a risk of 1 in 250 or worse, are also reported as abnormal. This is usually due to a family history of ONTD, the use of certain seizure medications by the patient during pregnancy, or the presence of maternal insulin-dependent diabetes, any of which increases a patient's priori risk for ONTD.
An increased risk of congenital steroid sulfatase deficiency or Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (uE3 <or=0.14 MoM) and poor fetal outcome (hCG >or=3.5 MoM) is reported as "see note."
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Helpful to identify pregnancies at increased risk of having a child with Down syndrome (DS), open neural tube defects (ONTD) and trisomy 18 (T18). This test is not diagnostic.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided. See clinical informations sections. Part 2 must be completed in order to receive an interpretable result. If the second specimen is not received for sequential screening, the results are uninterpretable and no maternal risk will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A screen interpreted as "normal" misses approximately 15% of Down syndrome, 20% of open neural tube defects and 10% of trisomy 18 cases.
Abnormal results require follow-up with targeted ultrasound, genetic counseling and consideration of fetal diagnostic testing.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

ATLANTA OPEN '08 VIDEOS ARE PACKAGED AND READY. IF YOU WANT ONE OR WANT TO SUPPORT "THE MONTY" DISC GOLF COURSE, PLEASE PM me. This video includes a memorial for Drew Eberhard.
The video itself is approximately 40 minutes long. It features music by Greg Campbell in several bands he's played in through the years, plus his "solo" effort, Ham. Other music on the disc is some guy you've never heard of. Video footage was shot by Jordan Nelson, me, and Josh Henley. The first disc, a shade under 18 minutes long, is the first three rounds of the tournament: two pro rounds at ERP and video from the miserably rainy afternoon with the ams at Central Park and the pros' second day at Central. It is organized into different types of highlights, including brief interviews with people not playing golf, great putts, bad misses, trees, trees, trees, good drives, video definitions of the word "whiff" and "dink", and David Greenwell's ace. The second disc is the last round of the top pro group--Ken Climo, David Greenwell, Jason Light, J.D. Ramirez, and Mike Hoffman, minus three holes. This is the round when Climo shot a nasty 49 on the Central Park uber-long tees.
Thanks for your support!
