A Curve By Any Other Name Is Still a Curve
You say CBEMA, I say ITIC. What's the difference? And why should you care? Editorial Director John DeDad offers an explanation of these important industry references and explains the differences between these two performance curves.
Q. In discussions and articles on the performance of solid-state electronic equipment in unstable voltage conditions, I've heard and seen references to the CBEMA curve and the ITIC curve. What are these curves and why are they important to end-users? I thought electronic equipment manufacturers designed their equipment per industry standards for proper operation during unstable voltage conditions.
DeDad's answer: The CBEMA curve (Fig. 1) was derived by the Computer Business Equipment Manufacturers Association — thus, the acronym used in the name of the curve — as a guideline for the organization's members in designing their power supplies. Essentially, the association designed the curve to point out ways in which system reliability could be provided for electronic equipment.
The curve is a susceptibility profile, with the vertical axis representing the percent of voltage applied to the power circuit and the horizontal axis representing the time factor involved, measured from microseconds to seconds. In the center of the plot is an acceptable area. Outside this area is a danger area on top and bottom.
The danger zone at the top involves tolerance of equipment to excessive voltage levels, while the zone at the bottom sets the tolerance of equipment to a loss or reduction in applied power. If the voltage supply stays within the acceptable area, the solid-state equipment will operate well.
Computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), power distribution units (PDUs), instrumentation, telecom, and other solid-state systems will operate reliably when applied carefully. However, all these units have one thing in common: they're voltage- and time-sensitive. In other words, voltage sags and swells, as well as outages and transients, will seriously affect their operation.
For an end-user or power quality technician to use the curve, he or she must first determine the nature of the disturbances that are most prevalent in a facility. Disturbances associated with powering, grounding, and protecting solid-state devices can be measured, analyzed, and evaluated using test equipment specifically intended for digital logic systems. These instruments, when located near the suspected disturbance, or when measuring the unusual operation of the power distribution system, will provide data on voltage fluctuations, short- and long-term excursions, and the specifics on how the disturbance places the equipment at risk.
Once these measurements have been taken — preferably with recording-type instruments — the results can be analyzed in combination with the CBEMA curve to help understand the nature of the disturbances.
The ITIC curve (Fig. 2) was derived by a working group of CBEMA, which changed its name to the Information Technology Industry Council. This derivation was developed in collaboration with EPRI's Power Electronics Application Center (PEAC). The intent was to develop a curve that more accurately reflects the performance of typical single-phase, 60-Hz computers and their peripherals, and other information technology items like copiers, fax machines, and point-of-sales terminals. While specifically applicable to computer-type equipment (as with the CBEMA curve), the ITIC curve is generally applicable to other equipment containing solid-state devices.
Because some of the ITIC curve's data points are carefully negotiated, each one is a useful basis on which to test the performance of a given product. For the vertical percent-of-nominal-voltage point selected, if the output isn't affected until later than the value shown on the horizontal time scale for that point, the product has met the limit described by the curve.
Keep in mind that the ITIC curve isn't intended to reflect the performance of all electronic-based equipment. There are too many variables, such as power loading, nominal operating voltage level, and process complexity, to try to apply a "one-size-fits-all" ITIC curve.
Q. The requirements of Art. 645 in the 2002 NEC say that the grounding of information technology (IT) equipment should be done in accordance with Art. 250. I've been told that "daisy-chained" grounding is not suitable for this type of equipment. Why not? It provides the required safety. What method of grounding should I use?
DeDad's answer: When grounding IT equipment, you must consider proper operation as well as safety from shock. Yes, IT equipment grounding must comply with the NEC, and it will be safe if it meets these requirements. But there are several additional provisions you must include if the installation is to operate with minimum electrical noise problems from the grounding system.
If you install the IT equipment grounding the same way as most other electrical equipment grounding — "daisy-chained" — it might look somewhat like the configuration shown in the upper diagram in Fig. 3. Here, the grounding conductors are run with the power conductors from the source to each piece of equipment. But, there are also many pieces of equipment fed from other equipment, and many other metallic interconnections between the grounded metal enclosures of various units. This is perfectly safe and meets the equipment grounding requirements as set forth in the NEC. But the multiple points of grounding can have slight differences of potential, causing small ground currents to flow, especially under transient conditions. These ground currents appear as noise to the IT equipment and can cause errors in computation or component failures. Basically, this grounding arrangement produces multiple paths for the circulation of ground currents.
You should modify the grounding to the configuration shown in the lower diagram in Fig. 3, which will eliminate the possibility of ground loops. Each piece of equipment is fed separately and radially from the source and grounded by means of a metallic raceway, a green-wire ground, or any other grounding conductor to a single IT equipment ground point, noted as "G" in the diagram, at the source or distribution point. This radial grounding eliminates all ground loops because all points are at the same potential. An additional advantage is that radial grounding provides a convenient point for tying into any high-frequency reference grid.

Oncology takes a digital outreach award
Martin Christlieb, the Department of Oncology's Public Engagement Manager, received one of the University of Oxford OxTALENT Awards at the 2014 celebration of innovative use of digital technologies.
The OxTALENT competition is run by IT services to recognise use of digital technologies to enhance teaching, learning, research and outreach at the University.
Martin's award recognised a project in which students from local secondary schools produced two-minute videos which explained something about research happening in Oxford's cancer research community. The videos were judged in a competition with the top three videos being awarded a trophy and some Amazon vouchers. The students were also invited to a workshop and a tour of the laboratories in the Old Road Campus Research Building. The competition was sponsored by the Medical Research Council as part of their centenary celebrations in 2013.
The winning video came from two students, Arabella Newton and Zhen Zhen, of Downe House School – Thatcham. The video presented the application of viruses to cancer therapy.
By challenging students to produce videos explaining our work we hoped to set up a collaboration which would engage the students with our work and produce high quality resources which we can use as part of our work to engage the public with our research.
Martin said:
'I'm really delighted that our video competition has been recognised in this way, as we were very happy with the videos that students from Thames Valley sent us. We are hoping to run the competition again this autumn.'

This is perfect. There are peaks and valleys in life. When in a valley, get back up and climb that peak!!
It's hard to fall and it's hard to get back up from a hard fall. But do it anyway. Get up and start over. If you're still here, you still have a purpose; you still matter. Brush off the smudges on your face; shake off the dust on your pant legs; and start over. Start wherever you are with whatever you have. What matters most is not where you have been but where you are right now. And maybe knowing and respecting and honouring where you are right now will lead you somewhere that feels better. So get up and start over. Now.


text: I started this thread in the heavy mods, but Im sure it really belongs here. Slapping on a pair of wings was a big change to me but Im sure its more common place. The original idea for this project was to make a modern Scattershot. While I can see it, even with the head I had picked out, I just wasnt feeling it, but still liked the way this guy looked. He's about 90% done, need to do some touch up painting and decide what Im doing to do about his weaponry. I thing Im going to attach universe seeker missle launchers to each forearm instead of 2 to the left forearm. Any Ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. So here is a little bio I thought of while working on this guy (name is up for debate as well) Many names are infamous throughout the universe. The Depcepticon armies hold claim to many at the top of this list. While some inspire fear and dread, one name sends a chill down your spine and the anticipation of his actions are only slighty less destructive than the actions themselves. Many know the name of Shockwave, this is the story of one of his proudest creations. Having been on the forefront of cybertronian science, Shockwave was obsessed with creation of additional modes for the Decepticon warriors. His creation, the Triplechangers, are a powerful force to be reckoned with. As with most technology after it is deployed it will fall into enemy hands, it was not long before the Autobots had triplechangers of their own. While not as powerful as their counterparts, they proved to be a thorn in side of Shockwave. Not being without some Ambition, Shockwave wanted to endow himself with additional alternate modes, but fearing damage to other long term goals he dare not experiment on him self. An answer came one day when Scattershot, badly damaged, was brought in as a ransom after a battle. Making a clone of the Autobot Triplechanger, and placing a piece of his own spark inside, a twisted combonation was born. A twin of Shockwave, with most of his intelligence, all of his sinister cunning, and a level of firepower all his own, Shockblast was brought into universe. *11/11* Came up with some weapon ideas, heres what they look like. The claws are from Energon Scorponok and sharpied them red, before I decided to cut off some extra tabs >.> TFTM Jazz's weapon was added to the other arm, Cant decide if its sitting to high or not. Let me know what you guys think and Ill sure them up and get them painted as well as the touch ups. Also here are the weapons with alt modes.

With the lingering effects of the Great Recession slowly disappearing, more business travelers are reserving high-priced hotel rooms and booking roomier seats in the front of the plane.
But the luxury spending may be benefiting executives, not middle managers and lower-level workers.
At the depth of the recession, most major companies restricted workers to flying in the economy section and booking budget hotel rooms. But some businesses now seem to be loosening the purse strings on the travel budget.
A study released last week by a major travel company found a 3.5% increase over last year in the number of business travelers reserving upscale hotel rooms. The study also found a 4.6% increase in the number of agents who said at least 11% of their clients are booking first or business-class seats.
"We're seeing a notable increase overall in the number of business travelers flying first and business class," said Steve Loucks, a spokesman for Travel Leaders Group, the company that conducted the survey of 946 travel agents. "This is a positive indicator that businesses are feeling better about the economy."

Tips to Sell Your Home for Top Dollar
Today I'd like to go over some things that you should consider if you're about to list your home for sale, especially if you're trying to find the most accurate price possible.
You have to think of your home as a product when you sell it, so you have to figure out how to attract these buyers to your product.
A lot of people think they can overprice their home and then come back down on the price if they don't get any offers, but this is a risky move.You run the risk of alienating yourself from buyers because they simply don't respond well to overpriced homes.
You need to price your home at market value, and to do so, you need to look at area comparable sales. Take a look at pending sales and see what homes are selling for.
Remember the three P's of selling: promotion, position, and pricing. When you price your home correctly, you put yourself in a good position to get multiple buyers interested, which can result in a very high selling price.
There are a number of different things you can do to price your home attractively in order to bring in the largest amount of buyers possible.

The Edmonton Oilers drafted Leon Draisaitl from the Prince Albert Raiders at No. 3 overall in the 2014 draft. Draisaitl is the fifth Raider Edmonton has drafted, and the fourth taken in the first round. It is NOT an all-star cast.
What can I say? In the history of the Oilers, Prince Albert does not inspire good memories. Here's the list:
Emanuel Viveiros, 106th overall in 1984—He played 29 games in the NHL, but never for the Oilers. Edmonton traded Viveiros, Marc Habscheid and Don Barber to Minnesota in
exchange for Gord Sherven and Don Biggs on December 20, 1985. He was a ridiculous offensive defenseman at the junior level, and MacT keeps trying to grab a Viveiros when he hires Brad Hunt and Phil Larsen.
Kim Issel, 21st overall in 1986—He played 4 games in the NHL, and was traded by the Oilers in 1991 for Brad Aitken. Issel was a huge winger (6-4, 200), had some talent
(played on a Mem Cup winner) but the Oilers had so much depth in those
days it was tough for even the first rounders to make an impact on the
major league roster
- Scott Allison, 17th overall in 1990—A big, physical winger taken in the days after Edmonton's final Stanley, he was a good junior player but never made it to the NHL. Played pro forever, retiring in 2005.
- Steve Kelly, 6th overall in 1995—The speed demon, and for Oilers purposes a little extra emphasis on demon. Kelly was chosen ahead of Shane Doan with chants of "DOAN! DOAN! DOAN!" reaching deaf ears. If we're making a list of wasted 6th overall selections, the Oilers did very well (Coffey, Smyth), and also drafted Sam Gagner, Steve Kelly and Boyd Devereaux.
…and now Leon Draisaitl. I think he'll pass this group by Christmas.
Zach (the Oilers have drafted only two Zach's, Stortini and this young man) was plucked from the University of Michigan, and the Oilers have enjoyed success there. Mike Comrie, David Oliver and Mighty Dwight Helminen all came via Michigan and played in the NHL.
- Vernon Vipers: Liam Coughlin joins Kyle Bigos and Kellen Jones.
- Omaha Lancers: Tyler Vesel joins Jason Platt
- Val d'Or: Keven Bouchard joins Jonathan Fauteux and Mathieu Roy
- WHL 15 picks out of 55 overall (27%)
- SWEDEN 6 picks out of 55 overall (11%)
- NCAA 6 picks out of 55 overall (11%)
- QMJHL 5 picks out of 55 overall (9%)
- BCJHL 5 picks out of 55 overall (9%)
- USHL 1 pick out of 55 overall (2%)
The Oilers avoided the OHL (7 total, 2008+), Finland (4) and Russia (2) this time around.
Lots of talk about Edmonton not getting great value from this year's draft, but I think it's completely reasonable to include the value from the draft picks sent away.
- 1st round: Leon Draisaitl
- 2nd round: traded (with Magnus Paajarvi) for David Perron
- 3rd round: Ben Scrivens
- 4th round: William Lagesson & Zach Nagelvoort
- 5th round: Liam Couglin
- 6th round: Tyler Vesel
- 7th round: Keven Bouchard
Chances are that the picks we'll be talking about 5 years from now are Draisaitl, Lagesson and Nagelvoort. Let's not forget the trades that brought in actual NHL talent.

NCAA Baseball Pre-Super Regional Press Conference Quotes
June 6, 2002
Following are quotes taken from the NCAA Baseball Pre-Super Regional Press Conferences from Stanford and USC.
Head Coach Mark Marquess
(Opening Statement)
'Obviously, we're excited about the Super Regionals. We have one of our Pac-10 rivals here in USC, and we have the utmost respect for them. We know how talented they are and how well they are playing. We're very familiar with each other. It should be a great weekend and a great series. The weather should be great, we should have great crowds, we're looking forward to it and whichever team wins it will represent the West well at the College World Series.'
(On the similarities between the 2002 Super Regional and the 1999 Super Regional versus USC)
'It's very similar. That was a great opening game in that series between (Barry) Zito and (Jason) Young. You'll also have two great pitchers going tomorrow night in (Anthony) Reyes and (Jeremy) Guthrie. But, it's a different time and different teams. You can never quite figure it out. You'd expect a low-scoring game (in the Super Regional opener), but you never know when you get two good teams together.'
(On his approach after having already played USC six times this season)
'We're so familiar with each other that there will not be many changes. The good thing is that you know what to expect. The bad news is we know how talented they are. Really, it's just a matter of who will be playing the best baseball this weekend. We both know that both of us are very capable of winning. It will just be a matter of who makes the big pitch, who gets the big hit, who makes the fewest errors or gives up the fewest walks. At this stage, if you give the opposition a lot of walks or make a lot of errors, you're probably going to get beat. Both teams know that. It will just be the team that executes and plays the best over the next three days.'
(on games versus USC this season)
'We've had good games with USC this season. A lot of the games could have gone either way. They had a lot of injuries in the first series we played them. They were a much stronger team in the second half of the season. It showed during league when they played well. We finished strong by winning 11 of our last 13 league games, and we still couldn't catch them. Now that they're healthy, they are playing very well.'
(on mental and physical preparation)
'At this stage of the season, the practices are not as long or as intense because we've played so much. The physical preparation isn't any more but the mental part probably is. There is more emphasis on the mental aspect because there's not much more you can do physically (to prepare).'
Junior outfielder/designated hitter Jason Cooper
(On his key home run in last Sunday's win over Long Beach State in the Regional championship game)
'It felt good. Last year, the postseason wasn't the greatest for me, but to get a few hits under my belt in the Regional is positive going into the Super Regional. I'm excited, and I feel good.'
(On biggest rivals in Pac-10)
'We always look forward to playing a team like USC because they're known to have good ballclubs, produce good players and have good coaching. We get up for USC. We've played them twice already this season. This means a little more to us as a team to get a chance to play a team like them in a big spot like this. Hopefully, we play well and come out on top.'
Sophomore centerfielder Sam Fuld
(On finishing as CWS runner-up in 2001 being a motivating factor for 2002)'Getting as far as we did last year, getting to the championship game obviously lingers in your mind. That's a huge motivation.'
Junior righthanded pitcher and Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year Jeremy Guthrie
(On finishing as CWS runner-up in 2001 being a motivating factor for 2002)
.The College World Series in general is a great motivator, the opportunity to get there. We're so close. Each year we have the motivation to get there no matter what happened the year before. That's the same way we feel this year.'
(On his approach against USC after having faced them twice already this season)
'It will be the same approach. They've done very well against me this year, and I need to be better prepared but the approach and the tactics I use will be the same.
Head Coach Mike Gillespie
(Opening Statement)
'Well, here we are again. We've been here. We've matched up with Stanford on six occasions (this year) and six times last year. A lot of players on both teams know each other very well. A lot of players are friends and well acquainted. Our players have the utmost respect for Stanford, as well they should. We realize that this will be a giant challenge. Our players are excited to be here and get going, and excited to see how the whole thing plays out.'
(On the keys to the Super Regional)
'From our perspective, there is no mystery about what we have to do. We have to match Stanford pitch-for-pitch and match them play-for-play. Our team has demonstrated that it is to be respected offensively. Our offensive players need to play up to their level of ability. With two teams that are as well-matched as these two teams, it will simply come down to who makes a key mistake, who gets a key hit, what pitcher misses over the plate to a good hitter. I think the games will turn on something like that. You could take all these players, put them in a hat, throw them up and however it came up you would be well matched. It will simply come down to whoever pitches and plays the best.'
(On the success of USC's hitters against Stanford pitchers this season)
'Certainly, we recognize that the depth of the Stanford pitching staff is one of the strengths of their team. We haven't won much against them, but I do think our offensive players have been tough outs and have swung the bats well, yet we have managed to come up short five of six times this season. We are well aware of that. We can send six or seven guys to the plate that have the ability to have good at bats against most pitchers. We have had good at bats in the games we've played against Stanford (this season), although in the end they've found a way to get it done in most cases.'
(On the similarities between the 2002 Super Regional and the 1999 Super Regional versus Stanford)
'I think there are some obvious similarities. You simply have Stanford versus USC. You have two conference teams matched up against each other in the Super Regional. You have two strong teams. Our team in 1999 was also a team that was capable of playing really well in Omaha. If that team had gotten to Omaha, that is also a team that I think would have done very well. That's the case with these two teams this year. These two teams have worked to get to Omaha this year. If you put these two teams in opposite brackets in Omaha, it wouldn't be an ultimate shock to see these two teams play each other on the last day. With Anthony (Reyes) and Jeremy Guthrie, you really have two outstanding pitchers going against each other (Friday night).'
(on the comparisons between Stanford and USC)
'Normally, the rankings at the start of the year are good to promote the game, but there is not much validity to them. However, this year it would be a slam dunk that Stanford would be the consensus No. 1 team in the country with the return of literally every position player starter off their really good team of 2001 and a real good recruiting class. Although they lost two starting pitchers from a year ago, they did return (Jeremy) Guthrie and other experienced pitchers. We can make a better comparison between our team and their team now than we could several months ago. We certainly are playing better defense now than earlier in the year. We have settled down on defense and solidified who's playing where all the time. As a result of that, we typically are playing much more consistent defense than we were earlier in the season. Stanford has been playing good defense the whole season. We offensed earlier, we offensed late. Their club has offensed the whole year. We cannot go as deep into the pitching staff as they can. However, I do think we can send three, four or five guys out there that have a chance to hold them down and at least keep us in the game.'
Junior catcher and Pac-10 Player of the Year Alberto Concepcion
(On the success of USC's hitters against Stanford pitchers this season)
'Sometimes we've hit their pitching well this year compared to others. Maybe we get geared up because they're a Pac-10 rival. Offensively, I think we have one of the best teams in the nation. When we go up against good pitching, we really gear ourselves to do well and expect a lot of ourselves.'
(On Stanford pitcher Jeremy Guthrie)
'He's definitely one of the top pitchers we have seen. His fastball has good velocity, and he's got a good slider. If we go into the game Friday the way we have the last couple of times we've faced him, I think we can pull it off.'

Budapest Mayor Tarlós Mocks Szabó Over Snow Inquiry
- 23 Jan 2013 8:01 AM
The office is conducting the inquiry in a fast-track procedure and expects to complete it in the near future.
Mayor István Tarlós said in response he hopes that Szabó has also sent a letter to God about the snowfall, as human rights could have been endangered there, too.
Snow really injures human rights, as, for instance people have to wade through snow, he said sarcastically.
It takes time everywhere in the world to clear snow, Tarlós added.

Since you are wasting so much time in front of the computer, you can go to Google and search for some information on how to create a website or a blog that will help you with your earnings. It's not hard, because you have ready blogs like Blogger.com and WordPress.com. If you want to create a website by using HTML or PHP you can always go and download DreamWeaver. This program helps you create a website without wanting you to understand anything from HTML. Take your time with your creation, this way you will be sure that your website's design is going to look good for the eye of the readers.
- Before actually starting with the creation of the website or blog you can pick the topic of them. What do you want them to be about.
2. Apply For Google Adsense
When you create your amazing blog or website, that has original content (remember this) you can apply for Google Adsense. Google Adsense will put advertisements on your website or blog and will give you money for every click you are getting on the ad and for all of the page views you get. Applying for Google Adsense can be really hard for some poeple, when it's actually really simple.
You have to remember only two things:
- You have to write only original content (write everything on your own).
- The navigation of your site must not be hard, don't use pop-ups or stuff like that, a sitemap will help for Google's bot to search your whole website.
3. Apply For Amazon associates
Here it's way more simple. You only apply, that's all and you get accepted. Amazon associates works the same way as Google Adsense, putting advertisements on your blog or website about their products. When somebody buys those products that you are advertising, you receive up to 15% of the money from that exact product.
4. Wait For It
When your done with everything it's time for the hardest part. Waiting for your blog to grow. By that I don't mean to sit back and wait something magical to happen. By that i mean to be patient.
- You will have to help your self with increasing your traffic, so you get more money. Advertise your self. Guest blog, anything do something to increase you blog\website traffic.
Thank you for reading this post. I hope this has helped you. Leave a comment, if you have any other ideas that will help out the bloggers that want to win money online.

A Primer: Ambulatory/Long-term Heart Rhythm Monitors
By Steve S. Ryan, PhD
If your arrhythmia is intermittent, your doctor may have you wear a mobile type of heart rhythm monitor to capture the electrical activity of your heart. As a general rule, in order to make a diagnosis of an arrhythmia, some form of electrocardiographic recording (i.e., EKG,) must be made at the time the arrhythmia is occurring.
If an arrhythmia becomes persistent and is present day-in and day-out, as often is the case for A-Fib, the diagnosis is quite easy with a routine EKG done in the physician's office.
The challenge is when an arrhythmia occurs intermittently (on and off) or is self-limiting. In this case, an EKG performed in between A-Fib episodes can be completely normal. To circumvent this problem, one would go to the next level of evaluation with a long-term monitor.
Long-term monitors
Long-term monitors basically are EKG recorders that patients can take with them (ambulatory). They fall into two major categories: continuous recording (Holter) and intermittent recording (Event).
The Holter Monitor
A Holter Monitor (named after Dr. Norman Holter, go figure) records continuously the EKG of a patient, usually for 24 – 48 hours. More modern Holter units record onto digital flash memory devices. The data are uploaded into a computer where software analyzes the input, counting ECG complexes, calculating summary statistics such as average heart rate, minimum and maximum heart rate, and finding candidate areas in the recording worthy of further study.
The advantage of a Holter is that every single heartbeat during that day is recorded and can be analyzed. The disadvantage is that if an arrhythmia did not happen on that particular day, the Holter data would not be useful.
The Event Monitor
An Event Monitor, on the other hand, is a long-term monitor that can be used for up to 30 days or longer. The advantage is that the longer the recording period, the better chance of "catching" an intermittent arrhythmia. The disadvantage is that an Event Monitor must be activated by the patient and downloaded telephonically, a task that requires a certain amount of manual dexterity and may be difficult for some patients.
Some event monitors are patient activated when having an episode and save the last several minutes of data; others detect the irregular heart rate and automatically record the data.
Number of Electrodes
The number and position of electrodes varies by model, but most Holter monitors employ between three and eight, whereas the Event Monitors typically use two. Both the Holter and Event monitors record electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest. The Loop (event) monitor is not attached to the patient but is instead pressed to the chest by the patient when experiencing an A-Fib episode.
Implantable ambulatory event monitors
Implantable event monitors are also available for those instances where individuals experience such infrequent symptoms that extended monitoring is needed.
These devices are inserted just under the skin in the chest area during an outpatient surgical procedure. The device may remain implanted for over one year.
Implantable loop recorders have the ability to record events either automatically (auto activated) or by manual activation (self-activated).
Real Time Remote Cardiac Recording
An example of the newer monitoring technologies is the Ambulatory Cardiac Telemetry (ACT), a wireless cardiac telemetry system. This event monitor is designed for remote arrhythmia monitoring in any location.
A small transmitter worn on the patient sends the ECG data to a portable handheld device where it is analyzed. If an arrhythmia is identified, the data is automatically transmitted to a Monitoring Center for immediate review. Integrated into a state-of-the-art mobile phone, the ACT provides next generation cardiac arrhythmia monitoring. What's interesting is the transmitter is a dongle type device worn around the neck with leads placed on the chest. You carry or have available what, in essence, is a mobile phone (it's actually more than a phone). It is small and not cumbersome.
No patient input is required. Data collected from the monitors is transmitted to the monitoring center via a cellular network, the internet, or over the phone (based on model). Data from the monitors is not intended to be used directly by the patient but rather by the monitoring center and your cardiologist.
Next-Generation: the 'Smart Band-Aid' Zio Patch
The 'Smart Band-Aid' provides the next-generation ambulatory cardiac monitoring service with beat-to-beat, real time analysis, automatic arrhythmia detection and wireless ECG transmission.
The sensors in the Band-Aid can be modified to monitor a number of different tasks as they can also provide a comprehensive suite of post-symptom, looping, and auto trigger event monitors as part of its turn-key cardiac event monitoring service.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Free Pick 9/11/13
Arizona Diamondbacks (72-72) at Los Angeles Dodgers (85-59)
MLB Baseball: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 10:10 pm (Dodger Stadium)
Patrick Corbin (L) (13-6) (2.974) vs. Hyun-Jin Ryu (L) (13-5) (3.018)
The Line: Los Angeles Dodgers -138 / Arizona Diamondbacks +128 --- Over/Under: 7 See the Latest Odds
The Arizona Diamondbacks head to Dodger Stadium on Wednesday to face off against Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently sitting at 85-59 on the year and are cruising their way to the playoffs. The Dodgers currently hold a two game to none lead over the Diamondbacks, and will be looking for the sweep on Wednesday. Los Angeles put Edinson Volquez on the mound Tuesday night against the Dbacks. Volquez struggled against Arizona on the night, lasting just six innings and giving up three runs off of four hits. The Dodgers used five different arms out of their 'pen on Tuesday, and four on Monday, so bullpen fatigue could be an issue here. Los Angeles will have Hyun-Jin Ryu on the mound Wednesday against the Dbacks. Ryu has had trouble with the Diamondbacks lineup in the past. Ryu has three career starts against Arizona, with a record of 1-0, an ERA of 5.82 and a WHIP of 1.71.
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports
The Arizona Diamondbacks fell to the Dodgers on Tuesday and are currently 13 games back in the NL West. The Diamondbacks had Trevor Cahill on the mound against the Dodgers on Tuesday, but Cahill, like his counterpart Volquez, only lasted six innings while giving up three runs off of four hits. Like the Dodgers, the Diamondbacks have been forced to go to their bullpen a lot this series, using six different arms on Monday, and three on Tuesday night against Los Angeles. Patrick Corbin will be on the mound Wednesday against the Dodgers. Corbin has been solid against LA in the past, having four career starts against the Dodgers. Corbin is 2--1 lifetime against the Dodgers with an ERA of 2.49 and a solid WHIP of 1.26. Corbin was hit hard by the Dodges last time out however, lasting just five innings and giving up four runs off of eight hits.
The Diamondbacks have struggled on the road this season, going just 32-40 away from home, while the Dodgers are outstanding at Dodger stadium, owning a home record of 44-28. Los Angeles also tears up right handed pitching, going 60-37 this year against right handed starters.
The Dodgers are playing very good ball lately, but I have to take the Diamondbacks here. Cahill has been solid in his last few outings, while Volquez has been getting lit up. Los Angeles is much better offensively, but with both bullpens at about the same fatigue level, I'll take my chances with the better arm on the mound to start things off.

"Everybody's A Comedian" is a web series I've created with my friend and director, Greg Rowan. It's semi-autobiographical in that most of the story lines and characters come directly from my life as a fledgling actor/comedian. It's in the same vein as shows like "Seinfeld," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Louie," and "Flight of the Conchords." I've written 8 episodes for the first season and would love to shoot and edit them all this summer. I plan on using as many Bay Area comedians and actors as I possibly can, some of whom will actually play themselves. Along with the web series itself, I plan on getting a lot of bonus footage of actors and comedians talking about their best and worst gigs, auditions, experiences, etc. The goal is to have a Season 1 DVD that not only includes a hilarious web series that gives you an honest look at the world of someone who gets paid (very little) to be funny but also to give you an introduction to a lot of amazing comedians and actors that you should start following. Which you will. Because they're awesome.
But we can't even shoot one episode without some help. I've made a lot of super cheap web videos and a couple of short films in my 68 years in this business and there's almost no way to make something like this for free. And since I get paid in beer and buffalo wings, I can't do it on my own. Hell, the trailer we shot that is a total of 83 seconds long cost me $4 a second. I don't know what that adds up to but it's on my credit card statement somewhere. The good news is I have access to some amazingly talented people who will be in front of and behind the camera on this project. And a lot of them are giving their services for free because they care about the project. The not-as-good-news is that renting locations, renting equipment, buying wardrobe, buying food each day, bribing cops, getting high quality drugs, paying for rehab, and hiring an attorney are not free.*
So pitch in whatever you can and let's make this happen, people!
*Some production costs are only listed for comedic effect.**
**Some production costs that are only listed for comedic effect will still be vital to the production and therefore will still need to be paid for.

The Internet of Things and the cloud — Cloud Computing News. Design beyond the glowing rectangle - EuroIA2010. A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design. So, here's a Vision Of The Future that's popular right now.
It's a lot of this sort of thing. As it happens, designing Future Interfaces For The Future used to be my line of work. I had the opportunity to design with real working prototypes, not green screens and After Effects, so there certainly are some interactions in the video which I'm a little skeptical of, given that I've actually tried them and the animators presumably haven't. But that's not my problem with the video. My problem is the opposite, really — this vision, from an interaction perspective, is not visionary.
This matters, because visions matter. This little rant isn't going to lay out any grand vision or anything. Before we think about how we should interact with our Tools Of The Future, let's consider what a tool is in the first place. I like this definition: A tool addresses human needs by amplifying human capabilities. That is, a tool converts what we can do into what we want to do. That's right! And that's great! Physiological Computing : Biometrics and evaluation of gaming experience part two: a thought experiment. Recent posts on the blog have concerned the topic of psychophysiology (or biometrics) and the evaluation of player experience.
Based on those posts and the comments that followed, I decided to do a thought experiment. Imagine that I work for a big software house who want to sell as many games as possible and ensure that their product (which costs on average $3-5 million to develop per platform) is as good as it possibly can be – and one of the suits from upstairs calls and asks me "how should we be using biometrics as part of our user experience evaluation? The equipment is expensive, its labour-intensive to analyse and nobody seems to understand what the data means." (This sentiment is not exaggerated, I once presented a set of fairly ambiguous psychophysiological data to a fellow researcher who nodded purposefully and said "So the physiology stuff is voodoo.")
Here's a list of 10 things I would push for by way of a response. Physiological Computing : Lifestreams, body blogging and sousveillance. Way back in June, I planned to write a post prompted by Kevin Kelly's talk at the Quantified Self conference in May and a new word I'd heard in an interview with David Brin.
Between then and now, the summer months have whipped by, so please excuse the backtracking – those of you who have seen the site before will have heard of our bodyblogger project, where physiological data is collected on a continuous basis and shared with others via social media sites or directly on the internet. For instance, most of the time, the colour scheme for this website responds to heart rate changes of one of our bodybloggers (green = normal, yellow = higher than normal, red = much higher than normal – see this for full details). This colour scheme can be mapped over several days, weeks and months to create a colour chart representation of heart rate data – the one at the top of this post shows a month's worth of data (white spaces = missing data). "What emerges in this new model are Lifestreams. People Are Walking Architecture, or making NearlyNets with MujiComp, January 2010.

Star Wars Under Parental Controls
Among numerous films created in Hollywood, the Star Wars saga by George Lucas is definitely must-see. The story of heroes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia, as well as the famous villain Darth Vader is inspirational for many generations of kids and grown-ups dreaming to become the next Jedi knight or choose the dark side of the force.
Though the first film of the epic space opera was released back in 1977, the events taking place long time ago in a galaxy far far away keep attracting attention of children born these days, in the second decade of the 21st century.
The popularity of the film series has reborn with renewed vigor after an announcement of Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens already released by Disney this year on December, 18th. Millions of fans rushed to buy tickets to see the long-awaited sequel. Star Wars 2015 has cracked all box office records after the first premier week.
Your family will probably would like to see the movie too. Meanwhile, your children will surely find a lot of other entertaining Star Wars activities on the Internet. There are many additional movies and cartoons, TV shows, games, and apps one can easily download from Google Play and App Store. The Star Wars franchise gave birth to numerous funs and frolics.
However, there is still a question if Star Wars entertainments are appropriate for children of different ages. We will try to deep into this issue a bit and help you prevent your little ones from what they are not supposed to see yet.
Original Star Wars Series
Talking about the original episodes of Star Wars, one will hardly find any explicit scenes there. The movie teaches to distinguish the good and the bad as well as how to find balance. It shows there is always a bit of the bad in the good; meanwhile, the worst villain has a chance to come to the light side. There is always a place to forgive and improve things for better.
At the same time, there are scenes that your little children should avoid. For example, you will surely do not want your 5-year-old kid or younger to see burned and seriously injured Anakin Skywalker crawling out a lava pit in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
The one and only piece of advice here is for you to watch Star Wars together with your kids. You'd better watch the episodes previously and list moments you consider inappropriate for them to see. Thus, you may either wind them forward or just make sure that your kids will not be afraid and have no nightmares. Sit closer, talk to them, and explain everything. It's up to you how your children understand what they see.
Star Wars TV Shows
If you think your kids are too young to see events taking place on the big screen of the Star Wars saga, there are many other TV shows based on the original episodes.
Your little ones will surely like Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales comprising five miniseries telling the entire story through C-3PO's memory of the events. Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels will be interesting for them as well. If you are also a fan of the world of Star Wars, The Clone Wars series will be a pleasure for you too. The TV show describes what happens right in between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Star Wars Games and Apps
There are many different and engaging Star Wars based applications you may find on App Store and Google Play for you little kids. Among others pay attention to famous Angry Birds series – Angry Birds: Star Wars and Angry Birds: Star Wars II. Star Wars – Heroes Path, Star Wars: Tiny Death Star, Star Wars Journeys: Beginnings, and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes will also entertain your kids and get them closer to the story of the original space opera.
Remember to check games first, before handing them to your children. Though there may be no violence or explicit content, a game may include in-app purchases or a built-in chat, where strangers might contact your kids.
Always talk to your children. If they come across violence on the screen, explain that it differs from violence in real life, meanwhile, the purpose of showing it on the screen is making right conclusions – it shows us how it all may be for you to prevent it in any way possible.
Protect your children. Keep your eyes open. And let the force be with you.

Police are hunting for a man who smashed a bottle into the face of a 78-year-old cyclist in Perth's northern suburbs last month.
Mirrabooka Detectives are investigating the incident which happened in Innaloo at about 11am on September 29.
The victim and his wife were cycling south on the Mitchell Freeway bike path heading towards Innaloo.
The offender is described as fair skinned, approximately 183cm tall, solid build, short light brown hair, unshaven and was wearing dark clothing.
I don't know if anyone keeps all their ride footage but if you have any footage from that area on that day it would be helpful if you can check and see if you have recorded the offender.
Try and keep safe out there.

Chapters 19 and 20 Summary
Lamar goes into Jeff's office first and tells his one-sided version of the story, claiming that Zach had whipped the ball at him and Rasheed had grabbed him from behind. The other boys aren't able to convince Jeff that they were in the right, and Danny, Zach and Rasheed are each suspended for two games and forced to clean bathrooms while their teams practice. Lamar is not punished. The Celtics lose both games in which Rasheed and Danny don't play, putting them down in the league standings.
On the first day of their suspension, Danny sees Rasheed heading to a court to practice and offers to come along. To his surprise, Rasheed accepts and after shooting around for a while, the two boys sit down and talk. Rasheed says that because of his cornrows and tattoos, people judge him by his...

We've been watching Peaches Geldof very closely this week, usually clad head-to-toe in British high street brands, she's had something of a glam-over for the Cannes Film Festival.
Posted in France to cover the festival for her monthly column in the U.S. her unique London street style uniform, (loafers, mini dresses, geek chic-speaks and a worn satchel) has been replaced with Dolce & Gabbana gowns, strappy, red satin stilletoes, sleek groomed up-dos and sharp tailoring.
Last night (pictured) she maintained her new sleeker, chicer look at DSquared's store launch party on the Croisette. Cue a statement shoulder blazer, bodycon micro-mini dress from Mulberry, gladiator sandals, immaculate hair and make-up and the ultimate chicette's date, David Furnish (not her usual boy rocker).

As more and more cities send in heavily armed police officers to break up the Occupy Wall Street protests, John Whitehead is one of the very few conservative voices speaking out for the protesters and, more importantly, for the First Amendment. He writes:
Unfortunately, the tendency on the part of government and law enforcement officials to purge dissent has largely undermined the First Amendment's safeguards for political free speech. The Occupy Movement, and the government's response to its encampments in public spaces, perfectly illustrates the fact that there is no longer any such thing as unfettered free speech in America today.
The very fact that protesters have had to resort to occupying various public spaces in order to open up a national dialogue about issues of concern says a lot about the state of the First Amendment, or rather the sad state of it. Moreover, the heavy-handed police response to the Occupiers shows the degree to which the corporate state will go to silence these protesters and discourage any further uprisings.
There was a time when communities had town squares—public areas where people gathered to exchange information, ideas, and do business. These served a vital function in America's history, allowing opinions and ideas—whether good or bad—to be aired and debated. Yet as areas once open to the public have been overtaken by state and corporate interests, traditional public forums for free speech have all but disappeared. Town squares have been replaced by private shopping malls and parking lots, neither of which are freely accessible to individuals hoping to voice their views. Consequently, protesters, even those not engaging in civil disobedience, are shut out, sometimes forcibly, from public areas, while attempts to peaceably assemble are overburdened by government regulations and permit requirements.
Furthermore, the court-sanctioned use by the government and private entities of so-called "free speech zones" to isolate protesters, even in public parks and college campuses, makes clear that the right to speak freely in public has eroded. Concentrating, monitoring and minimizing the effects of protests are the real reasons for using designated protest zones. Obviously, protesters are only perceived as dangerous because their message challenges the status quo. It's the message that is feared. Thus, efforts to confine and control the dissenters are really efforts to confine and control the effect of their messages, whatever those might be. This is true whether they're challenging environmental policies, free trade agreements or the political campaigns of candidates running for public office.
Hear, hear.

Altiyan Childs Has Had A Turbulent Couple Of Weeks
Altiyan Childs knows how to create headlines however rarely is it positive press for him.
Today there is news that he may have be becoming a father. The Daily Telegraph is reporting he has been spotted in the maternity unit of Royal North Shore Hospital with his former girlfriend Elle Biddles. There is a twenty year age gap between the pair.
Her mother was also accompanying her. The article also revealed that Elle's mother is Altiyan's personal assistant. Hopefully he is actually paying her but you would have to wonder where he is getting the cash from as his latest manager Matt Ryan- Garnsey also revealed that he was $30,000 out of pocket from The X Factor winner.

Altiyan Childs Caught Out Again
You can always rely on The X Factor winner Altiyan Childs to produce a bit of controversy and this time it is about his alleged upcoming gigs in the USA.
It appears his big break in the USA may be bollocks as is the tour he as apparently doing.
The Daily Telegraph investigated and found out the gigs did not exist or if they do it is not under his own name!
The Daily Telegraph writes:
TROUBLED singer Altiyan Childs has broken with another management company. And he claims to be playing a string of gigs across the US despite the venues saying they've never heard of the Australian singer.
Childs, dumped by Sony Music after winning The X Factor in 2010, told his Facebook fans he will be playing Hollywood's famed Viper Room this week, as well as shows at Las Vegas' Tao Nightclub and the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
"I have never heard of an Altiyan Childs. I haven't got anyone under that name playing the Viper Room," the venue's Roman Hernandez said. "He's not on our calendar at all."
Hard Rock Hotel San Diego's VIP co-ordinator Elijah Scholer confirmed: "There's nobody playing here under that name and he hasn't played here over the past week. I've got nothing about this guy in our system."
And a spokesman for Tao Nightclub said: "He's not playing here at all, never heard of him. We know nothing about this, there is no such scheduled event with Mr Childs at Tao."
No surprise that The Daily Telegraph could not contact Altiyan.
If he did go to the US the question is who funded the trip? Was it is fans?

Altiyan Childs – Alleged In Court That He Used Ice.
In court this week Nicholas Cocuzzoli alleged that Altiyan Childs, winner of The X Factor, used ice.
The Sunday Telegraph are reporting that Cocuzzoli, who is currently before the courts on drug charges, told them that Altiyan Childs was a frequent user of the illicit drug ice.
The article states:
In court on Wednesday, Childs admitted to using cannabis, saying: "I've smoked it before. I had a joint once or twice in the bedroom (of the Ramsgate house)," he said.
Cocuzzoli told the court that Childs would frequently use ice and that the tour team had given up trying to convince him to stop abusing the drug.
"It was a real problem because of the mood swings … he would be wrecked before his shows," Cocuzzoli told the court. "We tried to address it two or three times but he would go into a fit, kicking walls and screaming.
"It got to the point where it wasn't worth it."
Altiyan also spoke in court:
Childs told the court he went to Kogarah Police Station at the "end of March or early April" last year when he told officers he was the "victim of a corrupt crew" after falling out with his tour crew including his then-manager.
Childs told the court: "I was a victim and I wanted some advice. I wanted to talk to someone and ask them."
The matter continues in court on April 2.
This court case is almost more interesting then The X Factor itself.

Altiyan Childs Admits To Smoking Metamphetamine
Oh Altiyan you comment when you were on The X Factor saying you don't do drugs appears to be shown to be a lie.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Altiyan Childs has been charged with driving under the influence.
EMBATTLED rocker Altiyan Childs has been convicted of driving under the influence of methamphetamine and cannabis, outraging fans he has long told: "My only drug is love."
Capping off a disastrous 12 months, the eccentric X Factor winner pleaded guilty in Taree Local Court this week to having both drugs in his system while driving a car north on the Pacific Highway.
The 36-year-old reportedly admitted to police that he had smoked a "joint laced with MDMA" at a party in Bexley, in Sydney's south, the night before he was pulled over for a roadside breath test in Coolongolook, near Forster, on November 8 last year.
Childs – real name Altijan Juric – yesterday said it was a "very rare thing" for him to be caught up with drugs but that he was trying to relax after a troubled year.

Altiyan Childs Has Been Dumped
The saga that is Altiyan Childs life continues with his manager John Martinovich dumping him.
The Daily Telegraph reports Child's manager is no longer working for him.
The article states:
Contacted yesterday, Martinovich – who took over Altiyan Childs' career after he fell out with previous manager Steve Gold in sensational circumstances – was cryptic about the split, saying only that he "didn't want to comment".
I need some time to figure stuff out," he told Confidential. "I'm not in a position to say anything or make a comment just yet."
But sources close to the singer say that the split ends an association that goes back several years, with Martinovich – a long-time friend of the Childs family – having once managed the singer during his pre-X Factor days.
It looks like this could be the beginning of the end of Altiyan's career as he will soon become untouchable.

This Sunday sees Serie A's crunch match as leaders Juventus host Roma and the statistics seem to favour the Old Lady.
All Italian eyes will be on the top-of-the-table encounter between Juventus and Roma this Sunday in Turin.
Roma started the season with a record-breaking 10 consecutive victories but Rudi Garcia's men have been clawed back as the absence of Francesco Totti and the lack of a predatory front man have seen the capital side draw several games they expected to win.
Juventus have taken full advantage and now lead the table by five points putting the pressure on Roma to upset them on away soil.
While Garcia's men have been full of confidence this term, the teams' past head-to-head records still suggest that the hosts are favourites.

Making a Submission
Making a submission on a publicly notified Resource Consent
Sometimes a council will publicly notify a resource consent application. When this happens, anybody can make a submission. The council will consider all the submissions that it receives, together with the application and make a decision whether or not to grant the resource consent. To publicly notify a resource consent application the council puts an ad in the newspaper and a sign on the proposed site.
Mel lives in a small town surrounded by dairy farms. Like everybody else, she knows that the dairy factory on the road out of town is planning to expand. For 60 years, the wastewater from the factory has been treated and then piped into a river that runs through the town and out to the coast. The river sometimes smells bad and locals put that down to the discharge from the factory.
Mel reads a public notice on the factory site that says the factory wants to get resource consent from the regional council to increase the amount of waste going into the river. The council is asking anybody who's interested to make a submission by the end of August. Mel has a look at the application at the council offices. She then sends in her submission saying that she opposes the application because she thinks the extra discharge will make the odour problem worse. Mel says she's disappointed the application hasn't even addressed the existing odour problem. She wants the factory to do that as well as looking at extra treatment or other ways of disposing of its wastewater (such as spraying it on to land). Lots of other people in the town make similar submissions.
In October Mel goes to a public hearing at the council offices. The guy from the factory explains that they have looked at other disposal options, but they're too expensive and besides, the soil just isn't suitable for land based disposal. Mel talks to the council about her submission along with some of the other submitters.
In November, the council releases its decision. Mel gets a copy in the mail. The council accepts that other disposal options wouldn't work, but agrees with the submitters that the way in which the waste is treated needs to be improved. It gives a resource consent for the project, but only if the factory rebuilds its treatment plant to improve the quality of the discharge. The consent also says that the regional council will be monitoring the condition of the river and will require further work if the odour problem isn't fixed.
Mel is making a difference by having her opinion heard. By getting involved, Mel and the other submitters have been able to impact on the way the factory treats its wastewater.

Graham Park is in love. But Sara Fitch is an enigma to him, a creature of almost perverse mystery. Steven Grout is paranoid - and with justice. He knows that They are out to get him. They are. Quiss, insecure in his fabulous if ramshackle castle, is forced to play interminable impossible games. The solution to the oldest of all paradoxical riddles will release him. But he must find an answer before he knows the question.
Park, Grout, Quiss - no trio could be further apart. But their separate courses are set for collision.

Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U will not be receiving the Omega and Leviathan DLC packs available on other platforms, EA has announced.
We heard previously that some of the game's DLC would be integrated into the game on the disc. It now appears though that not only with the Leviathan and Omega DLC packs not be part of the retail package, but they won't be made available for download via the Wii U eShop either.
We don't have anything to announce at this time, but we'll definitely keep you posted if something comes up!
In response to being asked on Twitter when the Omega DLC will be available for Wii U, EA replied, "Unfortunately it will not be available for Wii U."
When asked whether more DLC other than what's already been confirmed would be making an appearance on the console, the company responded, "Never say never. :)"
The packs that are built into the Wii U version at no extra charge are the Extended Ending, the Resurgence, Rebellion and Earth multiplayer expansions and From Ashes.
Alongside missing out on Omega, which is said to be the biggest DLC pack for the game yet, there are currently no solid plans to make the Leviathan, Retaliation or weapon packs for the game available on Nintendo's console.
That's not the end of the bad news either; despite being the only console not to receive the recently announced Mass Effect Trilogy set, EA also confirmed that there are currently no plans to bring either the original Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2 to Wii U.
When asked if those games would become available soon, the company responded, "We don't have anything to announce at this time, but we'll definitely keep you posted if something comes up!"
Mass Effect 3 is available on Wii U now in America and when the console launches in Europe on November 30. The Omega DLC will be released on November 27 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
