STABILIZATION OF DRAIN-ELECTRODE CURRENT OF INSULATED-GATE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR Filed Nov. 24, 1965 F I'g.
United States Patent 3,454,894 STABILIZATION OF DRAIN-ELECTRODE CUR- RENT OF INSULATED-GATE FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR Ernst W. Voorhoeve, Maple Glen, Pa., assignor to Leeds & Northrup Company, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporatioil of Pennsylvania Filed Nov. 24, 1965, Ser. No. 509,525 Int. Cl. H03f 3/68, 3/14 U.S. Cl. 330-30 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention concerns amplifier circuits using at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor, i.e., a transistor having a body or substrate of one type of semiconductor material and supporting a pair of islands, both of opposite type of semiconductor material, respectively connected to source and drain electrodes, and spaced to provide a conducting channel with which the insulated-gate electrode is associated.
Previous amplifier circuits employing insulated-gate field-effect transistors have had unpredictable operating characteristics. Many of such transistors, for reasons not yet fully understood, are subject in operation to abruptlyoccurring and long-persisting shifts of the drain-electrode current and/ or slow shifts or long-term drifts of such cur rent. In consequence of such instability, the operation of an amplifier including at least one of such transistors is degraded or suspended for periods of random duration. Moreover, weeding out of those transistors which exhibibsuch unstable characteristics during factory test of a supposedly-similar batch of them does not insure that the selected remaining transistors will not subsequently exhibit such instability.
In accordance with the present invention, stable, predictable operation of an amplifier employing one or more insulated-gate field-effect transistors is insured by connection, between the source-electrode and a body-electrode, of a DC voltage which is poled in dependence upon the type substrate. Specifically, for a transistor having an N-type substrate, the DC bias should be so poled that the body or substrate-electrode is positive with respect to the source-electrode: conversely, for a transistor having a P-type substrate, the bias poling should be such that the body or substrate-electrode is at negative potential with respect to the source-electrode.
Further in accordance with the invention, the bias between the substrate and source-electrodes may be derived directly, or preferably by regulator circuitry, from the DC source which also supplies the drain-electrode current of the transistor.
The invention further resides in stabilizing methods and circuitry having features of novelty and utility hereinafter described and claimed.
For a more detailed understanding of the invention, reference is made to the following description of various embodiments thereof and to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a differential-amplifier stage including a pair of insulated-gate transistors stabilized against transient pickup and flow shift or drift effects by a DC bias between its substrate and source-electrodes;
FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively illustrate typical constructions of P-channel and N-channel types of insulated-gate transistors and associated amplifier circuitry with various specifically different stabilizing arrangements; and
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of another type of amplifier circuit including an insulated-gate transistor with stabilizing bias applied between its substrate and source-electrodes.
Although technical literature indicates that insulatedgate field-effect transistors have been known for some time, their adoption for commercial use has heretofore been-negligible despite their desirable high input-impedanceIIn tests on a batch of such transistors of P-channel type, supposedly of similar characteristics, all but a few of them, when their body-electrodes were left floating or connected directly to the source-electrodes as recommended by their manufacturers, exhibited (a) high sensitivity to transient potentials picked up by their gate-electrodes with consequent abrupt shifts of their drain-current to random values from which they slowly returned after an hour or more; and/or (b) slow shift or long-term drift, of the order of days or more, of the drain current. The magnitudes of such shift and drift effects, as shown by the test charts, are so much as to be intolerable in functional amplifiers such as used in analog circuitry and also in binary or switching circuit applications requiring high reliability. The reasons for such random, erratic behavior of insulated-gate transistors are not fully understood, but is believed probably due to the presence, migration or formation of ions in the metal-oxide layer used to isolate the gate-electrode from the channel. In any event, it has now been established that such instability of operation of insulated-gate transistors can be prevented or minimized by continuously providing between the substrate and source-electrodes a potential-difference preselected in accordance with the type substrate. Specifically, for insulated-gate transistors having a substrate of N-type semiconductor, the body-electrode should be maintained at positive potential with respect to the source electrode. The
magnitude of this stabilizing DC bias should be kept sufficiently below the breakdown voltage between the substate and the island of opposite type semiconductor contacted by the source-electrode. Specifically, for the type 2N 3609 transistor, it was found that such bias need not exceed about 10 volts and a suitable minimum is about 5 volts. It is believed a suitable stabilizing value or range of values for a properly poled bias voltage between the substrate and source-electrodes depends upon the dimensions and compositions of the semiconductor, and in a particular case may be empirically determined by progressively increasing such bias while the gate-electrode circuit is exposed to an intermittent intense charging field such as produced, for example, by rapidly making and breaking an adjacent power circuit. It may here be noted that such body/source-electrode bias has no effect upon the temperature-dependence of the transistors, and consequently other steps should be taken to reduce temperature-dependence when required by the operational environment.
For insulated-gate transistors having a P-type substrate, the body or substrate-electrode should be maintained at negative potential with respect to the source-electrode.
It also has been found that a body/source bias suited in polarity and magnitude to stabilize erratic transistors of a batch would not degrade the operation of the other transistors of that batch. It has thus become feasible to design and manufacture standard amplifier circuits in which any of the transistors of a given class or type could be incorporated with assurance that the amplifiers as tested in the factory or as used in the field would exhibit ,by a relatively large capacitance from the gate-electrode to ground had no effect upon long-term drift of the draincurrent, did not appreciably reduce the recovery time of the drain-current after spurious response to a voltage transient picked up by the gate-electrode, and degraded the rise time of the drain current response to a rapidlychanging input signal.
In FIG. 1, the invention is shown as embodied in the dual channel input stage D of a differential amplifier or comparator. Each of the transistors A11, B11 is of the insulated-gate fieldeffect type, having for the indicated poling of the supply source V a P-type channel. Specifically, the body or substrate of each of these transistors (see FIG. 2) is of N-type semiconductor material, such as silicon, which has been suitably doped and supports the two islands 12 which are of P-type semiconductor material. The source-electrode S is in ohmic contact with one of these islands and the drain electrode D is in ohmic contact with the other island. The conduction channel 13 between the islands 12, 12 is of P-type, as above stated. The gate-electrode G overlies the channel 13 but is conductively isolated therefrom by the intervening portion 14 of the metallic oxide layer. Such layer is usually thermo-formed on one side of the substrate. The body-electrode B is in ohmic contact with the opposite side of the substrate and may be formed by the housing of the transistor or may be formed on the substrate by metallic vapor deposition, the usual process for forming the gate, source and drain-electrodes.
Reverting to FIG. 1, the gate-electrode G of transistor A11 is connected to the input terminal 14A of the A-inpnt channel of the amplifier and the gate-electrode G of transistor B11 is connected to the input terminal 14B of the B-channel. One of the input voltages e e may be an analog signal voltage representative of a measured variable, and the other of them may be a reference voltage so that the amplifier may be used for comparison purposes generally as in the comparison amplifier of copending application Ser. No. 457,610 upon which has issued U.S. Letters Patent 3,387,224.
In the circuit shown in FIG. 1, the load resistors 16A, 16B are respectively connected from the drain-electrodes D of transistors A11, B11 to the common terminal of the amplifier. To provide for balancing of the drain-currents of transistors A11, B11 prior to use of the amplifier or from time to time during use, the opposite ends of a potentiometer resistor 17 are respectively connected to the lower ends of the load resistors 16A, 16B and its slider or relatively adjustable contact 18 is connected to the common or ground terminal 15 of the amplifier. For standardization, equal input voltages e e are applied and the contact is set to obtain equality of the drainelectrode voltages E E as appearing between the common terminal 15 and the respective output terminals 21A, 21B or to obtain a zero difference of such voltages as appearing across the output terminals 21A, 21B.
The drain-current I of the transistors A11, B11 is sup plied from a battery or other regulated DC source V whose negative terminal is connected to grounded terminal 15 of the amplifier and whose ungrounded positive terminal 18 is connected to the source-electrodes S of the transistors. To maintain constancy of the total drainelectrode current I it is supplied to the source-electrodes via a current-regulator arrangement: specifically, in the circuit shown in FIG. 1, the current-regulator includes the junction type transistor 19 whose base-electrode is maintained at a fixed preselected DC voltage by connection to a tap point of the potential-divider network 20 formed by resistors 23, 24 connected across the supply terminals 15, 18. The collector of transistor 19 is connected to the source-electrodes S of the insulated-gate transistors A11, B11 and the emitter of transistor 19 is connected to the terminal 18 of supply source V via 'the resistor 22 which serves to provide a bias for the junction transistor 19.
With the body-electrodes B of both transistors A11, B11 connected to the emitter of the current-regulator transistor 19, the resistor 22 also serves as a voltagedropping resistor in the path to the source-electrode and the bias e between the source and substrate-electrodes is equal to the internal voltage drop of transistor 19. With the body-electrodes connected to terminal 18 of the supply source V the body/source electrode bias additionally includes the voltgae drop across the resistor 22. In either case, the substrate or body-electrode B of each of the N-type substrate insulated-gate transistors A11, B11 is of positive potential with respect to the associated sourceelectrode S. With the drain current held constant by the regulator network 19, 20, 22, the stabilizing bias e is maintained constant. This insures that the differential-output voltage between terminals 21A, 21B continuously accurately represents the difference between the input voltages e s even though either or both of transistors A11, B11 could otherwise exhibit the spurious changes of channel conductance above discussed.
Suitable components and parameters of the circuit of FIG. 1 are given in Table I below.

V 16 volts The differential-amplifier circuit of FIG. 1 may be used with insulated-gate transistors having P-type substrate by reversing polarity of the drain-current source V and by replacing the PNP junction type transistor 19 with one of the NPN type.
The invention is not limited in its application to differential amplifiers. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the amplifier stage 10 is of the single-ended type with corresponding elements identified by the same reference characters as in FIG. 1 but without subscripts identifying the different channels. In FIG. 2 employing an insulated-gate transistor 11N with N-type substrate, the body-electrode B is maintained at positive potential with respect to the source electrode S by connection of the body-electrode B to a suitable tap point on the potential-divider network 20 in dependence upon the selected values of load resistor 16 and the voltage-dropping ressitor 22. In the single-ended ampliler of FIG. 2, the body/ source electrode-bias varies with load: consequently the values of resistors 22, 23 and 24 should be selected to maintain the stabilizing bias 2 in a range which for the minimum value of signal voltage 2 is sufiicient to prevent undue sensitivity of the gate-electrode to transient external fields. The circuit shown in FIG. 2 may be used with an insulated-gate transistor having P- type substrate by simply reversing the polarity of the source B The amplifier circuit shown in FIG. 3 is similar to that of FIG. 2 except in respect to points now discussed. Since the insulated-gate transistor MP of FIG. 3 has P-type substrate, the source-electrode S is connected to the negativc terminal of the drain-current supply source V The body-electrode B is maintained at negative potential with respect to source-electrode S by a separate source exemplified by battery E instead of using voltage-divider 20 of FIG. 2. With a separate source for the body/source bias, the bias remains constant with changes in load when the dropping resistor 22 is external to the bias circuit as shown. A similar separate bias source and dropping resistor arrangement may also be used in FIG. 2 but the polarity of the bias source should, of course, be reversed.
In the amplifier circuits of FIGS. 1 to 3, the output terminal 21 is connected to the drain-electrode and the load resistor is connected between the drain-electrode D and the grounded terminal of the amplifier. The invention, however, is not limited to such amplifier circuit configuration. For example, in FIG. 4, the output terminal 21 is connected to the source-electrode S of insulated-gate transistor 11F, and resistor 22 serves as at least part of the load resistorwholly so if the drain-electrode D is directly grounded as shownand also as part of the stabilizing bias for the body-electrode G whether such bodyelectrode be connected to a potential-divider 20 across the drain-current source or to a separate properly poled voltage source E (FIG. 3).
It shall be understood the invention is not limited to the amplifier circuits specifically shown and described and also covers circuitry within the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. An amplifier including at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor of P-channel type with N-type su-bstrate'having gate, grain, source and substrate-electrodes characterized in that means are provided to maintain the substrate-electrode at a positive DC potential with respect to the source-electrode, and of magnitude sufiicient to minimize sensitivity of the transistor to external transient voltages picked up by its gate-electrode and to minimize any tendency for long-term drift of the drain-electrode current.

Why I don't believe gangs can loot enough to survive
Let's say a gang goes house to house robbing from each apartment owner. They're liable to knock down doors with home-made battering rams (similar to SWAT teams), and merely brandish arms, for to shoot means possible death on both sides and loss of ammunition. Easy pickins' to steal; risky to shoot at close quarters and penetration.
As they accumulate wealth (an abundance of supplies in this case) and valuables, then they'll get loaded down by them. They have to either a)hole up in one of the other apartments, or b)have a wheelman and a vehicle in the form of a truck to haul their loot back to a headquarters.
The former means it's probably not any more defensible than the other apartments, it's just that they have more weapons. This means at some point, when they sleep or are high (both very likely), others will see their wealth and steal from them, because they concentrated all of it in one location.
The latter means transporting it down to the vehicle, at which point it'll probably be stolen as it's being moved to the street, or else as it accumulates at their headquarters, then it's all concentrated at that place....a lot of wealth. Now unless they know strategy and have a bunker with machine guns, it'll be taken, either from any police or soldiers left standing, or another gang since they have the loot they need.
In that case, a large portion of them will be annihilated by the other on either side and huge amounts of ammunition will be used, but tear gas and flash bang grenades are more likely since both sides wish to not waste ammunition. It may be easier to simple burn them out, for there's no rules anymore. It's a loss of supplies, but removing the threat is probably better. It's that or a siege just like medieval times, and this means manning it 24/7.
All of that is contingent upon enough firearms, ammunition, affiliated gang members, a working vehicle, and fuel sources. That's a tall order.
Most won't know how to source water other than stealing it. Even if they have a great location up high such that they can maintain lookouts, then they'll have sewage issues, won't they?They'll be forced to leave. Even at ground level, that will become a major issue, and people will get sick quick, just like they have in the history of warfare in conflict zones.
Highly organized crime families are a different breed altogether. They could survive since they have power structure, connections, more arms, supplies, but they don't have survival skills. They will run into the same issues of clean water and sanitation. In both cases of organized crime or gangs, there's liable to be a coup d'etat to knock out the current boss. Maybe a series of them as conditions deteriorate.
Actually, I think a lot of gang members will run, for they'll see the handwriting on the wall, and they'll either think a) start my own thing b) get the heck out of Dodge.
The only way I can see sociopaths making it, will be if they locate and seize supplies early from a warehouse or series or warehouses. These are most likely to be commandeered by local governments and law enforcement/soldiers, aren't they?
Is there something I'm not seeing?

Dawson actually looked good physically tonight... He displayed his usual speed on offense and defense and was the physically stronger fighter (look at the clinches... Ward's back usually ends up closer to the ropes); the only aspect that could be attributed to the weight is his low output, but I'm not convinced that that played more of a part than Ward's tactics (his angles and movement)
De La Hoya against Pacquiao looked like sh1t; just a slow, malnourished zombie version of De La Hoya.
Disturbing to see how people convince themselves that they saw something that didn't actually happen.
Chad's weight didn't effect his performance Ward did. Dawson would've beaten a host of top Super Middleweights at 168 tonight. Ward is just too smart, skilled, and mentally strong; after he found that he got the knockdown and knew he could land the left hook clean, it was Enough of a confidence boost (for the already mentally stronger Ward) to control the range, pace, and dominate the rest of the fight.

they were both drained. but there's a lot of difference on regards to whom you may give greater credit. IMO Oscar was more drained plus shot plus old even before the pac fight.. Oscar was the favorite though. these two fights have different ingredients..
pac moved up two weight divisions, and that is something to hype up..
while ward was at his comfort zone..
the pac-dlh result was an upset..
i give pac just a little little credit for beating Odlh above ward for beating dawson for those reasons..im not convincing anybody but just imo.
im sure the result would've been different at 175..ward could still win it though.

Ubaldo Jimenez placed on 15-day disabled list: Not a good way to start Colorado Rockies season
At this time last year, Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez was mowing down batters at a historical pace. Simply pitching with a healthy hand is now Jimenez's goal. The Rockies placed Jimenez on the fifteen-day disabled list today, in order to give the cut cuticle on his right thumb time to heal. The injury first surfaced in spring training, when the cut became infected, and re-opened just before opening day, when he gave up five earned runs in six innings to the Diamondbacks. The cuticle is not infected now.
The DL placement is retroactive to April 2, so, if healthy, Jimenez could return to the rotation on April 17 and miss only two starts. Greg Reynolds, who lost the battle for the fifth starter spot to Esmil Rodgers in spring training, will be called up from Triple-A to fill in.
The Rockies selected Reynolds second overall in the 2006 draft, but his career has been laced with a multitude of injuries. He will start on Saturday in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.
While it's awful to see the team's ace get rocked by a bad team in his first start, followed by a trip to the DL, it's important that Jimenez lets the injury heal. The Denver Post's Troy Renck reports that Jimenez last felt his thumb was 100 percent in his second spring training start. Renck also notes that Jimenez's two-seam grip creates friction on his thumb with each release.
For good news on the pitching finger front, Jorge De La Rosa has had no lasting effects from the blister he suffered last Saturday against Arizona and will move up in the rotation to take Jimenez's Friday start in Pittsburgh. And Jhoulys Chacin pitched well in a 3-0 shutout of the Dodgers yesterday, apparently with no injuries to his fingers at all.
Thank goodness.

Intel is on the way to $30+ in the next 12-18 months and any short-term pullback should be used to add to your position! Go Intel!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Wells Fargo increased its price target on Intel after the company reported results that came in above the midpoint of its guidance. The firm thinks the company's guidance for its March quarter is conservative, and it keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

Almost half (46%) of UK adults would dig into their savings to support themselves if they became ill and had to take long term sick leave, according to research from Turn2us (part of the poverty charity Elizabeth Finn Care). It asked a sample of the UK public how they would support themselves financially if they were suddenly taken ill and had to go on long-term sick leave.
48% of the 2,209 people polled said they would rely on state benefits, while two-fifths (39%) said they would rely on their partner's income, 14% would use overdrafts and 10% would rely on credit cards.
Matthew Sykes of Elizabeth Finn Care says, "The research, combined with our own experiences, shows that it can take a long time before people begin to seek help with their financial predicaments, with only 6% of people stating they would seek financial support and advice from grant giving charities if they suddenly fell ill and had to stop working. People are often too ashamed or embarrassed to ask for support. As soon as someone becomes ill, they, or people caring for them, should look at what financial help is available for them so they do not spend all their savings or accrue debt."
More than a quarter (28%) did not think they would be entitled to benefits if they were suddenly taken ill and had to go on long-term sick leave from work, while 16% said they did not know if they would be entitled to them.
The poll also showed that more than half (52%) would have to budget on the cost of food if they went on long-term sick leave, while only 11% would rely on income protection insurance to support themselves.
The online poll of 2,209 adults aged 18 or over was carried out by YouGov Plc in June.

that she can be happy in heaven, with her children in hell--in everlasting torment--strikes at the very roots of family affection. It makes the human heart a stone. Love that means no more than that, is not love at all. No heart that has ever loved can see the object of its affection in pain and itself be happy. The thing is impossible. Any religion that can make that possible is more to be dreaded than war or famine or pestilence or death. It would eat out all that is great and beautiful and good in this life. It would make life a mockery and love a curse.
I once knew a case myself, where an eldest son who was an unbeliever died. He had been a kind son and a good man. He had shielded his widowed mother from every hardship. He had tried to lighten her pain and relieve her loneliness. He had worked early and late to keep her comfortable and happy. When he died she was heartbroken. It seemed to her more than she could bear. As she sat and gazed at his dear face in a transport of grief, the door opened a

Arizona Cardinals
Dockett on faith in Whisenhunt: 'No comment'
The Arizona Cardinals were destroyed 58-0 by the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, marking the worst loss in the history of the franchise. It was Arizona's ninth straight loss.
Speculation is running wild on a couple of fronts. First, whether or not the Cardinals quit on head coach Ken Whisenhunt, who's coaching seat got noticeably hotter following the loss.
"I can't comment on that, I have no comment," defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said Monday when asked about whether the confidence in Whisenhunt has faded in recent weeks .
Dockett was fined a hefty amount by the Cardinals organization last week for his part in an on-field disagreement with teammate Kerry Rhodes over a directive from the coaching staff to let the New York Jets score in the latter stages of the game. Dockett disagreed with the instructions, but it was for naught because Jets running back Shonn Greene fell down on his own short of the goal line, killing the clock in an ugly 7-6 win.
Dockett also started the game on the bench as a result, and played in only 55% of the snaps on defense.
Following the discipline, Dockett was asked if he's still happy wearing Cardinal red.
"I don't know, I don't know," he responded. "I'm a hell of a competitor, I love what I do, I take what I do serious and I hold a lot of guys accountable and whatever situation comes my way, I'll be prepared for it."
There were many who witnessed the game Sunday that believe the Arizona Cardinals quit as a football team. That group includes Larry Fitzgerald's father, who made the proclamation on Twitter at halftime of the blowout loss.
"That's his opinion, I can't speak for no one else, I only can speak for Darnell Dockett," he said. "I can only say I didn't quit, and that's the best way I can put it."

CEDAR CITY — Oral Roberts starter Kurt Giller took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before tossing a complete game shutout to help the visiting Golden Eagles take a 6-0 win over SUU at Thunderbird Park on Thursday. The SUU defense turned in a solid performance behind a strong outing by starting pitcher Chase Rezac, but the Thunderbirds were unable to get on the scoreboard after recording just three hits and leaving seven runners on base.
SLCC BASEBALL: At Rangely, Colo., the No. 7 Bruins (29-5, 20-3) took two games from Colorado Northwestern 3-2 and 9-1.
AJ Carman, Tanner Banks and Dane Fuller combined to get the win in Game 1. With the game tied at 2 in the top of the seventh, Nathan Fishel drove home the go-ahead run to put Salt Lake up 3-2. Braden Anderson was 2 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs. Dalton Gust was 2 for 3 with a double.
The bats came alive in Game 2 as Salt Lake mashed 12 hits. Ruddy Acosta got the win, going five innings allowing two hits. Anderson stayed hot, going 4 for 5 with his second home run of the day. Dominique Taylor was 3 for 4, Palmer Page went 2 for 4 with a home run and Tyson Popoff was 3 for 3 with two doubles.
SUU TENNIS: Southern Utah's women's tennis team moved one step closer to locking up a Summit League tournament bid Thursday when the Thunderbirds notched a 6-1 win over Oakland University in a match played at Indianapolis North Central High School.
The short-handed Thunderbirds — who have played every match this season with just five players — claimed victories in every contested match, losing only at third doubles and sixth singles, where they failed to field competitors.

A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen: Easy Seasonal Dishes for Family and Friendsby Jack Bishop and Richard Jung
As a husband, father of two young children, cookbook author, and magazine editor, I have a hectic and unpredictable schedule. But every evening, shortly after five, I stop answering the phone and e-mails in my home office and head into the kitchen. The kids are upstairs with my wife, Lauren, practicing piano, bathing, or just hanging out in their rooms, so I usually have the kitchen to myself. I begin by cleaning up the mess from the dayand#151; emptying the dishwasher, rinsing my daughtersand#8217; paintbrushes, and taking out the garbage. I turn on the radio, pull out a cutting board, and start chopping and slicing. The pressures and frenetic pace of the day fade away as dinner comes together. By around six, the table is set, the kids are seated, and supper is on the table.
Since I cook vegetarian meals almost every day of the year, I ask a lot from the recipes that make it into my repertoire. First, they have to be convenient. Sure, I wish I had hours to prepare dinner, but I donand#8217;t: a couple of simple dishes are about all I want to tackle on most nights. Second, every one of my meals has to pack plenty of flavorand#151;my wife, a former pastry chef, has a discriminating palate, as do I. And finally, and perhaps most important, they have to satisfy nine-year-old Rose and five-year-old Eve, who have had their own busy days. In this book, youand#8217;ll find the family favorites that I return to again and again.
I love vegetarian meals for the variety they bring to the table. Vegetarian cooking is my connection to the seasons and to local farms and the six-month growing season on eastern Long Island, where we live. One day, I celebrate the arrival of the first new potatoes by preparing home fries with fingerlings so fresh they exude juices when cut. The next week itand#8217;s the first really good tomatoes of the year and time to make pasta with sautand#233;ed tomatoes, pan-roasted garlic, and fresh basil.
My family belongs to Quail Hill, an organic community farm about a fifteen-minute drive from our home. From June through November, we pick our own vegetables at this farm, which is set on two hundred rolling acres. The people who run the farm demonstrate their passion for vegetables by planting an amazing array of them: forty-two varieties of tomatoes, eggplants in hues of orange, red, green, lavender, purple, black, and ivory. At the farm, Rose and Eve learn how to dig baby Yukon Gold potatoes from the warm clay soil, play on the tire swing, or talk to the hens that lay eggs for us. Itand#8217;s also where I become inspired by purple basil, red-skinned carrots, or ordinary- looking cucumbers.
By the first weekend in November, Quail Hill shuts down for the season. A few other farmers stick it out until Thanksgiving, selling broccoli, winter squash, and cabbage, but by December the local crops, which were in such abundance just weeks before, are gone.
Since Iand#8217;m a practical cook as well as a seasonal one, I shop exclusively in supermarkets during the winter and spring. But that doesnand#8217;t mean I buy rock-hard tomatoes in January or corn on the cob in March. Winter means greens, root vegetables, grains, beans, and other wholesome, hearty foods in my kitchen. Although many of these ingredients are not local, they are in tune with the season. Even in winter, my basic approach to food remains the same.
Time is precious, and there are lots of other demands on me during the day, so high-impact, high-flavor items from my pantry are a must. Although simple, the food in my kitchen is never boring or dull. If I had to sum up my food philosophy, it might be and#147;shop local and cook global, but keep it real.and#8221; In my daily cooking, I draw on the cuisines of Mexico, the Caribbean, India, Thailand, Italy, Spain, France, China, and Japan, adapting dishes to suit the ingredients I have at hand.
Yes, there are nights when I stare into the refrigerator and feel as if I just canand#8217;t come up with any appealing ideas. And yes, there are nights when we take the kids out for pizza. But most days I relish the job of preparing meals for my family. Cooking is time for me to relax and to focus on something other than work, the unpaid bills in my desk drawer, the overgrown weed patch otherwise known as our back yard, or the pile of laundry upstairs in the hamper. And dinner is about talking with my wife and kids, teaching my kids about food, and appreciating all the good things in our lives. The food doesnand#8217;t have to be fancyand#151;and mine surely isnand#8217;t. As long as itand#8217;s produced honestly and tastes good, food is cause for celebration, every day of the year.

Mass. teen not injured in Pelham single-car accident
PELHAM — Police say a Massachusetts teen was not injured after driving his vehicle into a telephone pole on Route 38 Saturday night.
According to a release, Pelham police and fire responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash on Route 38 near Short Road at 11:23 p.m.Upon arrival, first responders located a 1998 brown Oldsmobile Bravado, operated by Corey Galloway, 17, of Dracut, Mass., with its front end smashed into a telephone pole.
According to the release, Galloway told police he had been traveling southbound on Route 38 when he looked down to adjust his radio. According to police, Galloway said when he looked back up at the road, his vehicle was traveling off the shoulder of the roadway and drove straight into a telephone pole, breaking it in half.
Following the crash, Route 38 was closed for approximately 11 hours between the area of Wellesley Drive and Vassar Drive, with traffic detoured around the crash site and through a nearby residential neighborhood.
Police said Galloway was emotionally shaken up but did not suffer any physical injuries. He was transported to Lowell General Hospital in Lowell, Mass., where he was evaluated and released.
Route 38 was reopened at approximately 10:10 a.m. Sunday. The release states alcohol and drugs do not appear to be factors, and distracted driving appears to be the cause of the crash.

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | By TYLER MASON | Last updated 9/23/13
MINNEAPOLIS -- What appeared inevitable became reality Monday: the Minnesota Twins shut down catcher Joe Mauer for the rest of the 2013 season due to a concussion. The team announced that Mauer, who suffered a concussion on Aug. 19, won't play in Minnesota's final seven games of the year. Twins general manager Terry Ryan said Monday that Mauer has not suffered a setback in his recovery process, but the timing of everything led the team to play it safe and allow Mauer to recover and look ahead to next year. "With the calendar and the schedule and so forth about to run out, it's unrealistic for us to think we're going to get him on the field this year," Ryan said. "Ultimately, we're going to work toward the 2014 season." Mauer's recovery progress has been slow since he was hit in the mask with a foul tip in a game against the New York Mets. He took batting practice last homestand but did not travel with the Twins on their recent road trip. The All-Star catcher said Tuesday that he ...

New Regulations Cause Export Delays for Indonesian Tin Smelters

Mining Weekly reported that tin smelters Indonesia, the world's top tin exporter, are facing delays due to a change in export rules that will come into effect August 1.
Indonesia continues to take steps toward regulating tin prices. However, the country's efforts have been jeopardized by countries like Australia and Myanmar, which have increased production.
A look back at tin's performance in 2014 and what 2015 holds for the metal. If China ends up supplying less of the metal, it could be a happy new year for the commodity.
Indonesia has put a tight squeeze on the tin market since it changed regulations surrounding trade of the metal in August 2013. However, the country's government has indicated that could change soon with amendments to last fall's export rules.
The global tin deficit has been going strong since 2010, and it isn't likely to let up any time soon. However, prices for the metal lost some momentum in March.
Demand for tin is rising, and no new mines are set to come online in response. As a result, many analysts expect a deficit in 2014.
Indonesia, supplier of more than one-third of the world's tin, has begun to institute new rules to control the tin trade.
A brief overview of tin price developments, supply and demand and significant market movers.
Rising demand and ongoing supply deficits added up to continued gains for tin this year, one analyst told Tin Investing News.
Reuters reported that while the current financial situation has made project financing difficult for most miners, tin miners in particular are having trouble raising money for their projects. That could be bad news for the tin market, which is already volatile and in deficit.
Celeste Copper Corp. (TSXV:C) announced that effective immediately it has changed its name to Celeste Mining Corp., but will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "C." The name change is intended to reflect the company's focus on its South Crofty tin project, located in Cornwall,
The average iPhone user may not realize that tin, used in solder to manufacture tiny electronic components, is sourced predominantly from Indonesia, where safety regulations are lax and miners regularly die at illegal operations. Recent changes to the US Conflict Minerals Act target minerals sourced in Africa, not Indonesia, providing
A brief overview of tin price developments, supply and demand, and significant market movers.
CRU sees commodity prices rising by an average of 8 percent in 2016, with tin and palladium being the hottest metals as far as price increase is concerned.
The Star reported tin prices on the Kuala Lumpur Tin Market is expected to move above the US$20,000 per tonne level this week on lack of supply, dealers said.
Tin markets react to news that shipments out of top exporter Indonesia fell 27 percent on the year
Platts reported tin prices are averaging higher for the week on the Kuala Lumpur Tin Market.
While the price of tin has made a modest gain since the start of the year, global economic cues may limit the gains in the short term. Indonesia has lifted the export ban increasing supply, while demand is still weak.
25 Indonesian tin producers have extended the ban on tin exports until year-end.
As the old adage goes, "The only cure for high prices, is high prices." The fundamentals of the tin market are showing this statement to be true. The high price in April prompted a sell-off of stocks in China. Now that the price is depressed Indonesia has ban exports hoping

Medal-winning wrestlers are in Washington this week trying to garner support for keeping their sport in the Olympics.
The athletes are working to raise awareness about the International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board's recommendation that wrestling be removed as a "core sport" from the games beginning in 2020.
The Committee to Preserve Olympic Wrestling is trying to make a splash with a reception on Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., that will feature legendary wrestlers from U.S. Olympics history.
In attendance will be Rulon Gardner, a 2000 Olympic gold medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling; Henry Cejudo, a 2008 Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling; and Clarissa Chun, a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist in freestyle wrestling.
"We need to raise awareness. We need to raise volunteers. We need to raise funding. We want support from everyone in the United States, including Congress," said Bill Scherr, chairman of the Committee to Preserve Olympic Wrestling.
Scherr, who won a bronze medal in freestyle wrestling during the 1988 Olympics, said the group would be meeting with USAID officials as well.
"We are here to tell these folks why wrestling is important to the world. It can have such a positive impact on gender equity as well as the right to play sports, whether you were born on the North Side of Chicago or sub-Saharan Africa," Scherr said.
Officials from the State Department and Washington embassies are expected to attend the Thursday reception.
The wrestlers have also been talking to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, where there has been an outpouring of support for wrestling as an Olympic sport. Members have drafted congressional resolutions and written a number of letters to the Olympic headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, urging the committee to reconsider.
"We write to express our disappointment with the recent move by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that endangers the inclusion of wrestling as an Olympic Sport in the 2020 Olympic Games. We strongly encourage the IOC to reconsider this choice and vote to continue the inclusion of the sport," reads a March 21 letter to Dr. Jacques Rogge, the IOC president.
Signing onto that letter was Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), as well as Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Steve King (R-Iowa), Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) and Tim Walz (D-Minn.).
In the letter, the lawmakers note how popular wrestling is in the U.S., with nearly 300,000 high-school wrestlers as well as 79 Division I colleges having programs.
If wrestling is pulled from the games, the sport could lose prestige and the support of governments around the world, according to Scherr.
"If we are out of the Olympic games, we could lose support, we could lose funding," Scherr said.
Lawmakers from the Midwest, which has a strong wrestling tradition, have been particularly vocal about keeping the sport in the games.
Iowa's congressional delegation, along with the state's governor and lieutenant governor, sent a letter to Rogge in February protesting the decision. Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) sent a separate letter to Rogge, citing Iowa wrestling legends Frank Gotch, Dan Gable and Cael Sanderson.
In March, the Senate passed by unanimous consent a resolution from Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and others decrying the IOC move.
"Wrestling has been part of the Olympics as long as there have been Olympics, going back to Athens," Grassley said in a statement in The Hill. "So, why take a tradition and a beloved sport out of the Olympic games? Will the marathon be next?"
There is a similar resolution pending in the House that now has 45 co-sponsors. Loebsack said soon after the IOC decision, he approached Jordan, twice a NCAA wrestling champion, about how to respond, and drafted the measure shortly thereafter.
Loebsack, who is the House resolution's main sponsor, is pushing hard for its passage.
"Clearly this is something that is very upsetting. It's one of the world sports. It has appeared both in the ancient Greek games and the first modern Olympic games. It has to be part of the Olympics," Loebsack said. "We have got to work as hard as we can on the world scale as well to get as many folks on board with this."
The IOC executive board's recommendation is only preliminary, and there's still a chance that wrestling could be in the 2020 Olympics. Wrestling advocates are vying with other sports to be considered for the competition, and the IOC won't make its final decision until September.
Wrestling's supporters, however, must play a delicate game to have the IOC reverse the recommendation. The sports' advocates appreciate Capitol Hill's support, but are wary of their campaign taking on political overtones.
"The letters may not have the intended impact. While we appreciate the support and the intentions, we clearly know the IOC can misinterpret this support as political pressure, which we don't believe is helpful," Scherr said.
Scherr said political acts, like the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, can damage relations with the IOC.
