2 CURRENT TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRONIC WATTHOUR METERS VACUUMSCHMELZE GmbH & Co. KG (VAC) is one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of metallic materials and inductive components manufactured from these alloys. In the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), VAC has been supplying high performance products for more than 20 years. MORE THAN 25 MILLION METERS OPERATE WITH VAC MATERIALS 2 CURRENT TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRONIC WATTHOUR METERS
3 Electronic watthour meters have gradually been replacing the electromechanical Ferraris meters in industry for some years. Because of their many advantages such as extended scope of functions with system capabilities, insusceptibility to mechanical wear, small size and higher accuracy, they are also increasingly spread in private households all over the world. Their area of application covers a wide range from local individual devices through pre-payment meters right up to (supra)regional networked remote control and readout systems. One of the key components in multi-phase and partly also in single-phase meters is the current transducer. This provides the electrical network isolation and supplies an accurate measuring variable (signal voltage) for the primary current. With respect to its measuring error, it must meet the requirements defined in the various technical standards for the respective device accuracy class. In Europe these are usually the standards IEC , -23 for directly connected meters and IEC for indirectly connected meters; for the Anglo-American market the standards of the ANSI C12.xx series for both types of connections. interface additional galvanic separation has to be provided to prevent hazardous operation or short circuit conditions between the phases. Mostly optocouplers and separation transformers will be additionally needed increasing the meter s overall cost. Another favorite principle is the Rogowski coil which does not exhibit saturation effects due to its coreless operation. The disadvantage of this is common to all open magnetic circuits and results in a very interference sensitive operation. Costly shielding has to be provided to keep measurement errors small at low primary currents. The designs using semiconductor hall effect devices have to be clearly separated: the low cost types can suffer from ageing effects which can deteriorate accuracy in the course of years; stabilized designs will control these effects but at the cost of a complicated compensation circuitry. There is a number of functional principles for implementation of the current transducer. The shunt resistor is one of the favorite choices because of its very low cost and good linearity but designers have to beware of its disadvantages. Because of the regulations about maximum power consumption (max. 2 W per phase acc. to IEC ,-23) its resistance is limited to some hundreds of microhms. This low value results in very low voltages (typ. some ten microvolts) at low primary currents. These have to be very carefully filtered and amplified to keep the meter s specified accuracy in the low current region. Heat dissipation within the meter is another critical point to be considered. In cases of multi-phase meters or single-phase meters with external CURRENT TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRONIC WATTHOUR METERS 3
4 In comparison to other principles toroidal core current transformers with low burden resistor have several obvious advantages: closed magnetic circuit: less sensitive to interference fields usually no shielding required magnetic function principle without semiconductors: high long-term stability no need for additional circuitry simple assembly with just a few parts: low assembly expenses, compact designs attractive prices The properties of the toroidal core current transformers such as maximum transmissable primary current, amplitude and phase error as well as linearity are basically determined by the material used for the magnetic core. The three areas of application mentioned place different demands on the respective materials: For meters according to IEC and ANSI C12.xx materials with high permeability in connection with the comparatively high flux density ranges of the metallic materials and only slight changes in properties as a function of the temperature are of advantage. Current transformers with high-grade amorphous (VITROVAC ) or nanocrystalline (VITROPERM ) alloys from VAC offer extra advantages to the users: very small and high linear phase and amplitude error easily compensable phase error low temperature dependence Meters according to IEC , -23 must have a tolerance to DC current components ( direct current tolerance ) which can saturate conventional current transformers when unipolar alternating currents occur, e.g. from power supply units with primary side diodes. Classical high permeability cores will saturate and are not suitable for above mentioned standard. Other solutions with a combination of two different alloys or iron based cores suffer from lack of linearity. Magnetic cores made of very linear but still highly excitable amorphous alloys from VAC are used for this. These lend the current transformer excellent properties: standard compliant DC tolerance without air gap negligible small amplitude error extreme linear, easily compensable phase curve extreme low temperature dependence PRINCIPLES OF CIRCUITRY The primary current dependent errors of amplitude and phase are decisive for the energy measurement error when using current transformers. With meters of medium accuracy without direct current tolerance both have very low absolute values and can therefore be well compensated by a meter type-related correction in the circuit. The current transformers with direct current tolerance have the special feature of a relatively high absolute phase error value at high constancy whereas the amplitude error is negligibly small. This causes an energy measurement error which varies only slightly with the primary current and which adopts impermissibly high values on complex loads (e.g. inductive load with cos = 0.5) if the phase error is not carefully compensated. 4 CURRENT TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRONIC WATTHOUR METERS
5 Since the specified scatter of the secondary inductance L cannot be reduced at will, the phase error of the individual converters is scattered batch-dependently to the same extent. An individual correction is therefore recommended to stay reliably within the error limits. This can be performed with a suitable digital signal processor (DSP) which is digitally adjusted to the implemented current transformer in a calibration run at a single current value (e.g. at I b ). Particularly high accuracy can be achieved when the phase error curve is measured at several currents and is approximated between these for correction. This is often impossible or only to a certain extent in devices with DSPs of a simple internal structure. Here correction is possible by an RC low-pass connected in series with the analog current measuring input, whereby a C-value of typ. 150 to 300 nf is suitable for an R of approx. 1 k. Because of the scatter of the L-values an adapted use of grouped C-values may be necessary. If further modifications of the operating parameters are necessary, we offer the recalculation of the error characteristics on request.

Due to the low permeability, a phase error of typically 4 to 5 occurs which is easy to compensate on account of its high constancy of typically ± The compensation can be made digitally by appropriate correction in the microprocessor and analogously by an RC low-pass in front of the input of the A/D converter. A number of major metering chip providers supply tailored solutions for optimum performance and accuracy in combination with these CT types.

Please fill in the enclosed checklist as completely as possible and send it back to us if required. If the principle-related sensitivity to external errors in special applications is still too high, we recommend a plate (iron, thickness approx. 1 to 2 mm) mounted as an additional magnetic shield between the meter housing and the current transformer. The edges should be as far away as possible from the transformer; a value between half and the full distance between the transformer and the housing is recommended as the optimum choice. Especially for antitampering purposes we provide a solution like seen on right picture. The wound core is encapsulated with a deep-drawing pair of caps. Dielectric strength test: For standard type housings the following values are valid for the insulation between a bare copper primary conductor and the secondary winding (different test values on request): U p rms U p max = 2.5 kv (50 / 60 Hz, 1 min) and = 6 kv (1.2 µs / 50 µs test pulse) 8 CURRENT TRANSFORMERS FOR ELECTRONIC WATTHOUR METERS

Researchers found wide disparities among racial and ethnic groups, according to a report in today's Journal of the American Medical Association. Blacks were six times more likely to be infected than whites.
Chlamydia, thought to be the most common bacterial STD in the USA, can be cured with a single dose of oral antibiotics. But most infected people don't know that they have chlamydia because they have no symptoms. In women, untreated chlamydia may cause pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility and ectopic pregnancy.
Chlamydia also may increase the likelihood of contracting or spreading HIV in women and men. And, says William Miller, lead author of the JAMA paper, a small European study suggests that chlamydia might cause fertility problems in men.
Screening guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as professional medical groups focus on young women (the risk of infection drops significantly by the late 20s), not men. Women are more likely to be infected than men, although Miller says he was surprised to find that the gap is not as wide as previously thought.
While women are more likely to suffer complications from chlamydia, they will continue to get infected in large numbers unless men are diagnosed and treated as well, says Miller, an infectious-disease specialist and epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
He theorizes that the large gap in infection rates between blacks and whites is a matter of access to screening and demographics. Blacks are less likely to get into the health care system and are more likely to have sex with other blacks than whites, continuing the cycle of infection, he says.
One reason men haven't been routinely screened is that it used to be just too uncomfortable. Until the development of a urine test a few years ago, doctors had to culture cells from the urethra, accessible only through the penis. It was much easier to swab cells from the cervix in women.
Miller and his collaborators screened urine specimens from a nationally representative sample of 12,548 Americans ages 18 to 26. The screening test, which checks for the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacterium that causes chlamydia, costs only about $8 to $13 to perform, although providers might charge around $25, Miller says.
The same test also checks for the DNA of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, which Miller's study found in fewer than one in 200 participants. Like chlamydia, gonorrhea is also curable with a single dose of an oral antibiotic.
Even with the simple urine test, "men are a difficult problem, because men do not routinely go for preventive health care," says Jonathan Zenilman, an STD expert at Johns Hopkins University. He says Miller's study confirms what he has long known, that the U.S. chlamydia infection rate is "fairly high."
Zenilman says it's unlikely that local health departments can afford to make screening more widely available. But managed-care plans have stepped up chlamydia screening of young women over the past few years, ever since it became a measure of quality of care, he says.

Tammy Lauren Vasquez (credited as Tammy Lauren) is an American actress.
Lauren was born Tammy Lauren Vasquez in San Diego, California, on November 16, 1968. Her mother is Suzanne Bledsoe, who worked as a talent manager, and her stepfather was British film and TV director Charles Jarrott. As a child, she started an acting career. Her debut was in the role of Melissa Turner in the one-season TV series Who's Watching the Kids, which aired in 1978. This was followed by an appearance on the short-lived sitcom Out of the Blue, which aired the following year. Lauren's guest-star appearances included TV shows as Angie, Mork & Mindy, Fantasy Island, The Facts of Life, Family Ties, and Little House on the Prairie.
Later on, Lauren starred in Disney's The Last Flight of Noah's Ark. She also landed a recurring role on the CBS-produced daytime drama series The Young and the Restless, in which she portrayed Maggie Sullivan. In addition, she costarred in a multitude of other TV productions, including the movies Tattle: When To Tell On a Friend, Crime of Innocence, and the 1988 remake I Saw What You Did. On TV, Lauren portrayed Ginger Szabo on Homefront; and has also landed recurring roles on Home Improvement, Wanda at Large, Martial Law, and Walker, Texas Ranger. She also guest-starred in an episode of MacGyver and an episode of Two and a Half Men. In 2014, Lauren appeared on Criminal Minds. In her personal life, Lauren is married to Israeli actor Guri Weinberg, whose father Moshe was killed in the Munich massacre.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. ( TheStreet) -- The problem with the Confederate flag is that it represents a noble battle, but it does not represent a noble cause. Unfortunately the flag has, to an extent, been co-opted by our country's few remaining white racists, who seem to have embraced the remnants of the cause, which was to preserve slavery. This group is a dying breed battling for survival in a country that long ago began a slow move past them. Not complete yet, but getting there.
But the meaning of the Confederate flag goes beyond racism and hatred and slavery. The flag also stands for a heroic battle by an agrarian society resisting, during much of the war, an invasion by a wealthier, more powerful, more industrial adversary. In this battle, the South was distinguished by the commitment of its soldiers and the genius of its generals. The best known general, and the finest symbol of the Confederacy, was Robert E. Lee, a hero who was among the handful of people who can seriously be considered to be among the greatest Americans who ever lived. Lee would quite possibly have been president had he not made an agonized choice to fight for his home state. Loyalty to Virginia demanded that he reject an offer from President Lincoln to be commander of the Union troops -- which proved to be a pathway to the presidency. A famous post-war scene, described by various historians, has Lee at St. Paul's Church in Richmond, when a black man stepped forward to take communion. The white southerners all stayed put for some embarrassing number of moments before Lee walked from his pew to the rail and knelt beside the black man. Then the rest of the congregation followed.
Later, Lee distinguished himself as a college president, a course that was followed by one of his many admirers, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eisenhower kept a portrait of Lee on his office wall, and once defended that choice in a letter in which he wrote that "General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our nation."

We had gone on a family vacation with our 2 year old son in March 2013. Although the heat was killing but the service at the resort was fabulous. Staff were very courteous, friendly and very helpful. My son learnt to speak khapunkha and khapunkhap. Since we are vegetarians food choices are limited but the chef was very good and make special dishes for us which helped to survive with a small child. Mosquitoes are a problem in a tropical resort. But it was managed. Rooms were spacious with a large bathroom and a large balcony. However, needs a bit of refurbishment as they have become old and worn out. Its located at the end of Chaweng so if you're planning to visit the market often its quite a distance.
However, we had also visited Anatara Vacation Club for their timeshare sales and the manager of the vacation club office in March 2013 (I dont remember his name but he was an Australian) was very rude and didnt know the meaning of service and because of him we chose not to avail the timeshare plan.

Back to Ask Debbie Questions »
Monica J.
Dear Debbie,
Does using (No Suggestions) instead of straight aluminum wire reduce the range and/or effectiveness of a charger? Are tapes and (No Suggestions) rated for different charger strengths? Thanks for your time. Monica
Monica J.
Hello Monica!
Thank you for your good questions. Initially, aluminum has a better conductivity than high tensile wire. However, day by day the effectiveness of aluminum decreases. Within a year, aluminum will have less conductivity than high tensile wire! Over all, the Hotcote (No Suggestions) is long lasting, it has a 20 year mfg. warranty and has a protective polymer coating. It won't corrode like copper which can cause less conductivity over time. For equine use, Hotcote helps to stop injury with the polymer coating. Electric ropes have a variety of wire types, depending on the product, and each wire has its characteristic as listed above.
To answer your second question, fencing distances determine the proper charger. Distances are listed for each charger in acres. Chargers are rated for tape distances as well as coated wire distances. Your best choice is a low impedance charger, one that does not have a constant charge, but pulsates. I hope this helps you. If you have any further questions or need help finding the right charger that will work for your fencing, just let me know. We can talk more and help you to find what you need! Thank you and email any time.Debbie

There's a new God of War game, and it looks like a very different proposition to what has come before, with angry fella Kratos having a tag along son who has to learn life lessons while watching his dad rip things apart. Sounds a bit messed up really.
With a new direction the game has also picked up a new voiceman in the form of Stargate's Christopher Judge. You probably know him better as Teal'c - which is a name that is not at all intuitive to type.
Here's some confirmation from Twitter, which is where news happens now.
I can now confirm I am Kratos #GodofWar4
— Christopher Judge (@iamchrisjudge) June 15, 2016
I can now confirm I am Kratos #GodofWar4
Kratos has previously been voiced by TC Carson but you can understand why the powers that be might have wanted a change - after all it looks like this Kratos is appearing in an entirely different place with Norse mythology and the addition of a youngling. He has the same scars and tattoos though, which is a bit confusing.
God of War is coming out sometime.

9 Year Old Girl Barred From School For Supporting Friend With Cancer!
Have you seen this? It's Teri Ann, and this outraged me! I can't believe this school wouldn't allow Kamryn to come to class because she shaved her head in support of her friend, 11-year-old Delaney, who is battling neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer, and recently started chemotherapy.
The School Officials at Caprock Academy in Grand Junction told the student, Kamryn, she couldn't come back to class without a wig or until her natural hair grew back because her shaved head violates the school's dress code.
WHAT?!?!?! Really?

Delta Cooling Towers extends Industry Leading Warranty to 20 Years
January 2013
Delta Cooling Towers Inc has extended the longest warranty in the cooling tower industry. The seamless engineered plastic shell and sump now carries a 20-year warranty. The heavy-wall plastic shell will not peel, rust, chip or ever need additional coatings.
Delta has had a 15-year warranty since 1997 and is very comfortable with this extension based upon 40+ year's experience of installations of engineered High Density Polyethylene cooling towers. Made in USA, Delta owns and operates fully integrated manufacturing facilities and has specialized proprietary plastic molding processes which allows complete control of all aspects of quality.
The most worry-free cooling towers available also feature a 5-year warranty on motors, direct-drive fans eliminating maintenance/downtime issues related to belt or gear drive systems, large orifice non-clog water distribution nozzles, and an engineered plastic cooling tower that are impervious to the toughest environments or aggressive water treatment chemicals.

I've been talking about this for a while, but I finally got around to doing it. I've put together a software package consisting of Firefox Portable, GNU Privacy Guard, and FireGPG. I'm calling it "CryptoFox". You can download it here.
The idea behind this is to lower the barrier to entry for using PGP encryption. If you want to communicate privately with someone, instead of having to guide them through the install process for 3 different components, you can just have them download CryptoFox and run it. No installation is required.
It's also a little tricky to set FireGPG and GnuPG up to function portably. If you want to run them from a USB stick on any computer, I've already done the hard part for you.

In our recent stay, found the place to be quite nice, not as bad as some other folks found it to be. It would do with some upgrades in some areas. The rooms though could do with an update is clean and decent sized, clean bathroom with nice shower. For the right price, we would go back again.
One of the friends went for a swim in the pool and didn't hear her complain. The restaurant actually looked nicer than average. The patio overlooked beautiful scenery of the lake. We enjoyed a nice stroll to the waterside. This resort is located right next to Deer Hurst Resort which we drove by to check out.
We also had the 2 for 1 dinner deal. We wouldn't say that food was bad, we enjoyed the food. Our waiter was friendly and joked with us, service though was rather slow. Food took a while to come. Also because we had the last seating, they ran out of some of the dessert advertised.
The complimentary continental breakfast had more varieties than the average continental breakfasts. Found the croissants, the pastries and the bread to be better than average. Service though was bit slow as we had to wait a while for coffee to be brought over.
The grounds of this resort is quite spacious, the entrance and the reception area looks inviting. Service at the desk was friendly. Overall, we'd say our stay here was not bad, we enjoyed the stay. If you're expecting a 4 star resort, then you mgiht be disappointed. Otherwise, this place is ok.

The 2007 All-USA football team was selected by USA TODAY's Jim Halley, in consultation with college and high school football coaches and recruiting analysts, including Tom Lemming of CSTV.com, Mike Farrell of Rivals.com and Allen Wallace of Superprep.com. All selections are seniors unless otherwise noted.
Terrelle Pryor
Quarterback, 6-6, 210 pounds
Jeannette (Pa.)
Why him? First Pennsylvania high school player to pass for more than 4,000 yards (4,249) and rush for more than 4,000 (4,250) in his career. Led his team to the state's AA title and a 16-0 record as it scored a state-record 860 points. He can throw a football 75 yards, or 50 yards on his knees. Passed for 23 TDs and ran for 34. Also a top basketball recruit.
Colleges considering: Ohio State, Florida, Michigan, Penn State and Oregon.
Favorite NFL player(s): All quarterbacks. Vince Young, Tom Brady and Michael Vick.
What people might not know about you: "They don't know my personality. Some people get the wrong impression about me."
Favorite entertainer: Rapper Lil' Wayne.
NBA or NFL: "The NBA. You can play longer because you don't get beat up as much."
Best lesson you've learned: "Just be around the right people and don't be around the wrong people. Stay away from trouble."
Last movie you saw:Superbad.
Who's in your five: Mom, dad, friends Jason and Ted, and coach Ray Reitz and coach Roy Hall.
Funniest recruiting story: "Somebody tried to land a helicopter on our field."
Patrick Johnson
Defensive back, 6-1, 190 pounds
Blanche Ely (Pompano Beach, Fla.)
Why him? A physical shutdown defender with 4.37 speed in the 40-yard dash. He had seven interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown (three other interception returns for TDs were nullified by penalties). Accounted for nine more TDs on offense.
Colleges under consideration: Florida, Miami (Fla.), Florida State.
Favorite NFL player: He has two — his cousin Bryant McFadden, a cornerback with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey. "I love Champ's style and the way he elevates his game, no matter who he's going against, to big-time standards."
Favorite teacher: Novice Johnson, his poetry teacher.
Why do you wear No. 7? "Because my dad wore that same jersey and I wanted to fulfill his dreams of someday playing in the NFL." (His father, Patrick Peterson, played for Ely from 1987 to 1989 and is the school's varsity defensive backs coach.)
Last book you read: Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy.
What people might not know about you: "I'm an A student. I graduated (early)."
Favorite entertainer: Actor Chris Tucker.
Who's in your five: "My mom, dad, grandmom, one of my friends and my best girl, who's a friend."
What friends tease you about: "My ears. My friends say they have a funny shape, but they look normal to me."
Best lesson you've learned: Because he was struggling with his grades as a freshman, his father took him off the football team as a sophomore. Ely lost in the playoffs 21-19 to St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale). "It was an eye-opener for me. I could have accomplished a lot more."
Tim Harris
Booker T. Washington, Miami
Age: 42
Why him: He has taken a program never before in the Super 25 to No. 8, a school that didn't exist as a high school 10 years ago and turned it into one of the top teams in the country. In five years, his teams have gone 62-7. This year Booker T. Washington went unbeaten for the first time, winning the Florida Class 4A championship after falling in the semifinals four consecutive years. "The most valuable lesson I learned was just building a good relationship with the student-athlete and having a good relationship with your staff," Harris says. "That came from going to a lot of clinics."
Where his nickname "Ice" comes from: "Growing up, George 'Iceman' Gervin was one of the guys I emulated as a basketball player, and it stuck with me."
Greatest coaching influence: "My head coach at Miami High, Charles Bethel. He taught me a lot, that being a coach is more than putting on a whistle and shorts. It is about teaching and making sure your players stay focused in the classroom."
Family: He's been married to his high school sweetheart, Chonita, for 15 years. He has two sons, who both have played for him. His oldest, Tim, is a three-time All-America sprinter at the University of Miami. His youngest son, Brandon, was a senior cornerback and quarterback for Booker T. Washington this season.

Niclas, Cocoon is what it is because we are not afraid of changing our mind and to collectively discuss things on the list and we don't act before we have consensus. Sure, FS creeps in (and I'm fighting it against taglibs, the ultimate FS evil in my eyes, even Jelly's author moved away from it ashamed) but that's why we have discussions. We lack documentation and best practices and efforts are underway to solidify those (our documentation is a lot better than it used to be). In short: you should not obtain your knowledge from reading the dev- list and we are solidifying many solutions into a recommended one, not adding more things. And don't worry, my FS alarms might be slower to react these days (do to the fact that I have a day job now) but are never turned off ;-) -- Stefano.

The Bridge of Hades is found at the end of the Path of Hades.
It is a long straightforward "bridge" consisting of nearly a dozen small, round pillars. On the platform before the bridge, Kratos must kill about a dozen Hades Satyr in order to raise the pillars. A rope leading topside is suspended at the end of the pillars, allowing Kratos to climb out of the Underworld.

Also the idea that the cover was supposed to stay in his own end is fallacious - just read game reports from the era, or Art Farrell's book, and you'll know the cover was expected to rush the puck as well.
I'll also point out that Rod and Magnus played point and cover respectively for only three seasons together, from 1901 to 1903. For two seasons before that, they split the point position (playing half the games each) because Charley Johnstone was at cover. And before that it was Rod Flett and Fred Higginbotham.
Now that I look at it there's a whole lot of misinformation in that one quote from someone who should be a reputable source. That's what you get when you rely on 55-year-old memories.
I, myself, rely on very old memories when judging players. Sometimes they are in error but not so much in error like you suggest Dick Irvins are. In any case even if there is a error in his quote I believe there were a commotion and the point of the quote is to show that Rod were skilled offensively.
We will always have to take such quotes with a grain of salt.

Boy Scout Files Show Failure to Protect Kids from Sexual PredatorsAug 6, 2012 | Parker Waichman LLP
Boy Scouts of America continually allowed Scout Masters and other leaders within the organization to prey on children even after they were suspected and "blacklisted" due to allegations of child sexual abuse.
According to an AP report on a Los Angeles Times investigation, the newspaper has uncovered internal documents which show at least 125 cases in which Scout leaders who were put into the organization's "perversion files" that should have blacklisted them from serving other troops were able to do so because of various errors.
The "perversion files" are used as a background check on all paid and volunteer positions within Boy Scouts of America. The files include cases in which some Scout leaders admitted to being sexually abusive toward children and other cases in which some leaders were suspected of abusing Scouts sexually.
These files were only recently uncovered when former victims of abuse came forward with their allegations. As much as the Scouts has proven to be grounds for child sexual abusers, the organization has been accused as much for allowing the behavior to continue and covering-up cases of suspected abuse.
The investigation included a review of more than 1,200 documents and it revealed a system of behavior and negligence that showed no compassion for the victims. In at least 125 cases, Scout leaders who had already been put on this list were still allowed to move to another troop where they likely met new victims of their sexual abuse.
"Clerical errors, computer glitches, or the Scouts' failure to check the blacklist" enabled these abusive Scout leaders to move almost freely from one troop to the next. In 50 of the cases discovered through the L.A. Times investigation, the Scouts had originally expelled the abusive leaders but they were able to bypass any background checks when they joined another troop in another location.
In other cases, BSA officials never filed initial allegations against abusive Scout leaders and waited until new allegations were filed, if they ever were.
Detailing some of the cases, the investigation found an incident in which a Scoutmaster was accused of molesting a 14-year-old Scout in Indiana. Despite that Scoutmaster being convicted of that crime in 1970, he was able to join the Scouts organization through troops in Illinois in 1971 and again in 1988. The Scoutmaster has eventually admitted to molesting more than 100 boys and eventually convicted in 1989. He is currently serving a 100-year prison sentence.
In another case, a Minnesota scout leader convicted of abusing a boy in his troop in 1991 was able to freely return to the same troop after he got out of jail.
This investigation follows a recent string of news reports which outline how the Boy Scouts of America acted similarly to other organizations like members of the Catholic Church, the Ultra Orthodox Jewish community, and Penn State University in systematically covering-up patterns of childhood sexual abuse.

Szechuan Chicken Soup
Recipe by Karen From Colorado
This is one of my favorite soups. It is a pretty quick soup and uses lots of fresh ingredients. It is kind of fun to make because you make the base first and then ladle it over stir fried vegetables, raw bean sprouts, shredded cabbage and cilantro. The hot broth cooks the cabbage and everything else stays crisp tender. It is my own recipe made up from only my own cooking experiences and ideas so I am sure that there is nothing about it that is even close to authentic even if there is such a thing, but it is a good soup with lots of nice flavors and crisp fresh vegetables. Although the chow mien noodles and peanuts are listed as optional, I highly recommend them. They add so much depth to the soup. The stir fry noodles that I use are fresh. I can find them in the produce isle near the bean sprouts and egg roll wraps. The flavor that I prefer is Hot'N' Spicy. It is a Szechuan recipe after all and Szechuan is a spicy dish.
Top Review by Freya
Yummy!! You are right, the chow mein noodles are a must!! I was a little conservative on the heat factor and omitted the dried red chiles, used only 1tsp. of ground red pepper and one Hot 'N' Spicy and one Regular package of stir fry noodles. That was just about right for us. The flavor was very reminiscent of the Chow Mein of my youth.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 -3 chicken breast halves
- 10 cups water
- 1 large onion, diced
- 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 large bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 6 -8 dried red chilies
- 2 cups celery, sliced into bite size pieces
- 1 cup carrot, sliced into bite size pieces
- 1 (8 ounce) package sugar snap peas
- 2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, sliced
- 3 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 -3 teaspoons ground red pepper (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 16 ounces pre-shredded cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix
- 12 ounces fresh bean sprouts
- 2 (8 ounce) packagesstir fry noodles (Hot 'N' Spicy, fully cooked with sauce packet) (optional)
- chow mein noodles (optional)
- chopped peanuts (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Place water, chicken breasts, bay leaf, chilies, garlic, and soy sauce in a large soup pot or dutch oven; simmer until chicken is done. Cool enough to handle and remove the meat from the bones; dice into bite sized pieces and add back to the soup.
- Remove bay leaf and chilies and discard.
- Add water chestnuts, ground red pepper and ginger to the cooking liquid.
- Bring back to a boil and add stir fry noodles, and sauce packets; bring to a boil and simmer until noodles are done.
- Stir fry celery, carrots, sugar snap peas, and onions in olive oil until crisp tender; season with salt.
- Place an equal amount of bean sprouts, coleslaw mix, cilantro and vegetables into deep bowls.
- Ladle boiling hot soup over vegetables.
- Garnish with the chow mien noodles and peanuts.
- Feb. 15, 2009, Edited by the author of this recipe to add just in case others prefer the original: The last few times I have made this soup, I have taken to cooking the noodles separately in chicken broth and straining the broth into the rest of the soup base leaving the noodles mostly al dente in a separate dish to be added to each serving with the vegetables in step 6. Using boiling hot soup will ensure that your veggies and noodles will be hot and cooked, while the vegetables and cooled noodles cools the soup enough to eat comfortably. Using this technique also allows you to freeze the base for future meals without compromising the noodles after step 3 making this perfect for a OMAC. Don't worry about the water chestnuts. They will stand up beautifully to freezing and will make this soup a quick dish when time is limited. I have also started using extra crunchy peanut butter instead of peanuts. Dip your clean spoon into the jar of peanut butter and get a big heaping spoonful. Stir it into your hot soup before garnishing with chow mein noodles. This not only gives you a more enhanced peanut taste, but gives the soup a pleasant peanutty, creamy flavor. I have also been using a small amount of hot chili oil in the olive oil to stir fry with instead of chilies. I like the taste and you can control the heat factor easier. I like to sear the seasoned chicken breasts in it before cutting it into bite size pieces before stir frying the vegetables.

The personal computer debuted on the cover of Popular Electronics in January 1975 and a year later Bill Gates of Microsoft was battling piracy as he was trying to get his fledgling company Microsoft off the ground. In his letter to software pirates of that era, he wrote "Who cares if the people who worked on it get paid?"
Shawn Fanning, while a student at Northeastern University in Boston, changed the music and media industry with his creation of a digital file‐sharing program called Napster. In 1999, he created a software program that allowed computer users to share and exchange files. Napster had several hundred thousand users by the spring of 2000, and had grown to over 50 million users by February 2001. This technology is called Peer-to-peer or P2P because it allows "peers", ordinary computers to exchange files between themselves.
By 2008, P2P traffic had become 44% of all consumer internet traffic globally and according to "P2P Traffic to Grow Almost 400% over the Next 5 Years, as Legitimate P2P Applications Become a Meaningful Segment" from MultiMedia Intelligence, P2P traffic would grow by 400% by 2013.
By 2010, according to "Verizon Gets Ahead of the Broadband Crunch" in The Wall Street Journal, file sharing accounted for approximately 35% of all global internet traffic, more than twice as much as web browsing and is forecast to nearly double from 2010 to 2013 to almost 10 Petabytes a month.
The chart above was generated from data by Cisco in its "Global IP Traffic Forecast and Methodology, 2006-2011" and featured at www.satmagazine.com.

Wilson, 32, hit .269 with nine home runs and 55 RBI for the Houston Astros after signing a one-year, $4.5 million free-agent contact during the off-season. He had hit 25 home runs and drove in 90 last season while splitting time between the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals. Despite the Astros having the worst offense in the National League, they were unable to find a willing trade partner for Wilson and ultimately, waived him.
As a result, the Cardinals will only be responsible for paying Wilson a pro-rated portion of the major league minimum salary – roughly ¼ of $327,000.
With the signing, the Cardinals get a low-cost, low-risk upgrade in Wilson. Whether that upgrade is for the bench or left field or centerfield would seem to be the remaining question.
In other words, is Wilson a Jim Edmonds-insurance policy, either full-time if Edmonds cannot shake his post-concussion syndrome or a potential platoon partner for the ailing veteran centerfielder?
Defensively, while Wilson played left field with the Astros this season, he has been primarily a centerfielder over his career, with 870 games at the position. However, he has struggled with knee injuries in recent seasons, cutting down on his range. Wilson is considered to have a plus throwing arm, both in strength and accuracy.
The right-handed Wilson has hit lefties particularly well this season, posting a .312 mark against them. That has been a weakness for the 2006 Cardinals, and particularly for Edmonds, who against lefties this season is hitting a full 100 points worse than his career mark - .158 in 2006 vs. .258 lifetime.
Or, if Edmonds returns to form, could Wilson slide into a platoon role with one of the left field options? Even with all his recent success, Chris Duncan is hitting just .222 against left-handed pitching this season.
Actually, over his career, Wilson has been effective against both righties and lefties. His career mark against righties is .267; lefties .258. So, even if nothing else, he could prove to be the best power-hitting threat off Tony La Russa's bench.
The downside is that Wilson remains a free swinger. This season, he has fanned 94 times in 390 at-bats while walking just 22 times. Yet, in comparison, it is fair to note that Edmonds has actually struck out a higher rate than Wilson – 88 K's in just 329 at-bats – though he is more selective, having walked 55 times.
Historically, Wilson has been a very productive player, while making $12.5 million as recently as the 2005 season. The nine-year major league veteran collected his 1,000th career hit earlier this season against St. Louis on July 7 at Minute Maid Park. He was a 2003 National League All-Star and led the league with 141 RBI that season while with Colorado. Playing for the Florida Marlins in 2000, Wilson recorded his only 30-30 season with 31 home runs and 36 stolen bases, and had six seasons with 25 or more home runs.
The Cardinals announced one corresponding roster move to accommodate Wilson, for the 25-man roster. In a bit of a surprise, despite having the third best ERA among team starting pitchers, rookie right-hander Anthony Reyes was optioned to Memphis. Certainly, he will be back in two weeks when rosters expand.
With Wilson, the 40-man is now currently full, as one spot was opened previously when Rick Ankiel, who is out for the season, was shifted to the 60-day disabled list. 60-day DL'ed players do not count against the limit. With Ricardo Rincon also done for the year but still on the 15-day DL, the Cardinals could still make another addition to the team with no disruption or risk.
Wilson has joined the Cardinals in Chicago and will be ready to play Friday afternoon against the Cubs, wearing uniform number 3.
Bottom line, let's continue to hope that Jim Edmonds will experience a full recovery and that Chris Duncan will start to hit lefties. If so, then the Cards have cheaply and effectively bolstered their bench for the stretch run.
On the other hand, if Edmonds can't go or Duncan needs a platoon partner with some pop, the Cardinals seem to have found their man in Preston Wilson.
