click here to read article
I just watched that whole video ...and I'm speechless. WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR SYSTEM? I defy anyone to defend this. As I am married to a man with chronic pain, I would fight to the death his right to get the pain medication he needs...this is so outrageous. Is there anyway to help with the defense of this woman?
that is BS! the woman had just lost her mother, she had agravated back pain from lifting her sick mother, and she gets all this because of left over pain pills from her mother!?? she wasn't even trafficking!
This is one of the most insane stories I've seen. Did you see the one of the guy in the wheelchair??? THEY GIVE HIM MORPHINE in jail now. UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE. This is not the America we're fighting for. Sorry,.
Some will.
Is there anyway to help with the defense of this woman?
I haven't found one yet, but I'm looking.
Any link to a text story. I can't get the video to play.
When my parents were in hospice care, this was the procedure when they died...the nurse would take all the pain medication (worth maybe hundreds and hundreds of dollars) and stand there while she watches you flush it down the toilet. I experienced this in both California and in Arizona.
I hope some good lawyer out there does a good deed and helps this woman... it is ridiculous. A terrorists has more rights than this woman!
The irony of the Richard Paey story (click the "richardpaey" keyword for this article for more on him) is that the government justifies its prosecution of him for trafficking on the grounds that he could not possibly have been taking all of the pills he was obtaining, but he now receives higher doses in prison.
You might find this interesting (((PING)))
He went to jail because if he took the plea bargain, he'd be labeled a drug trafficer and he'd never be able to get the pain medication he needs. So he has to leave his family and his job so the government now takes care of him and pays for the medication he needs. How insane is that?
My neighbor was arrested and charged with a class D felony because she had two Vicodin tablets (which were legally prescibed to her)in a pill bottle without the prescription on it.
She was searched after being stopped for speeding.
This happened in Indiana.
The DEA has gone way over the top and are keeping doctors from prescribibg NEEDED pain medications.
But heroin is purer and cheaper than it has ever been.
Here is the text from the story;
The Trouble With Painkillers
Did you know that just possessing six pills of a prescription painkiller that doesnt belong to you can land you in jail for years? Some are facing a 25-year long prison nightmare in Florida and throughout the United States because of the way the law is written.
Penny Spences fate changed after she accidentally crashed her car into a tree in Coral Springs last year. She wasnt under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but she had one thing that can land her in jail for 25-years. Police found 49 1/2 pills of the prescription generic equivalent of Percocet that used to belong to her mother.
Spence was dealing with the recent death of her mother, who suffered from Lou Gehrigs Disease. Spence told CBS4s Jennifer Santiago that she was her mothers caretaker in her last year of life and often times had to lift the 130 lb. woman on her own, worsening a pre-existent back condition. Her mother was completely paralyzed. She says she was tired and in pain at the time of the accident.
What many like Spence dont know is that with just six prescriptions pain killers, such as Percocet, allow prosecutors to charge you with trafficking under the states mandatory minimum drug law. Just 28 grams of the painkiller is enough to serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in jail.
She was originally charged with possession by police, but later prosecutors upped her charges to drug trafficking.
Trafficking is definitely not a bottle of moms pill, said Spence as she sobbed.
Penny admits that she always carried her mothers pain pills on her and at times would take some when her back pain would become unbearable. The aspiring nurse never imagined the life-changing consequences of having such pills on her.
The law works against those who are in Spences shoes, because in Florida statutes theres no need for law enforcement to prove you were actually trafficking the pills. There is no need to prove what you were using the pills for. The statutes rely on the amount the pills you have weigh to charge you with trafficking.
Under Floridas mandatory minimum drug laws, just 28 grams of a prescription pain killer carries a sentence of 25 years. Possession of the same amount of cocaine only gets you a mandatory three year sentence. What is ironic is that Percocet contains a large amount of acetaminophen, the ingredient found in Tylenol, but that does not factor in when authorities weigh in the amount of pills that are found on a suspect.
I wish I had a dollar for every time Ive spoken to a parent or a family member who said, I didnt know this could happen in America, said Robert Batey.
Batey is a law professor and president of the Tampa Bay Chapter of Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM), a DC organization dedicated to ridding the country of such laws. Though the group has had luck in pushing for such laws to be removed from several states, Florida has not been one of them.
Richard Paey, a lawyer with an Ivy League education has already fallen a victim of these statutes. He is serving a 25 year sentence at a Florida prison for having pain pills prescribed by a doctor in another state. The lawyer and family man is paralyzed from the waist down and also suffers severe back pains - the reason why he takes the pain medication. Most doctors in Florida feared prescribing the large amount of pain medication Paey required to alleviate his pain. He was convicted on 15 counts of drug trafficking.
To add insult to injury, the jail's medical staff where he is at administers him a much stronger dose of morphine on a daily basis than any dose of medication he ever consumed in the past.
My experience is with my step-mother. She was sent home for hospice, and passed away. The hospice attendants had to witness the destruction of ALL pain meds. Every person and congresscritter that supports the War on some Drugs is part and parcel to this travesty. One single tablet, capsule, patch, or vial on the premises will result in a felony conviction for anyone and everyone on the premises. It is all about control of other people. It is a crying shame, since the people that impose the laws and restrictions have never suffered real pain.
"This is a case where if the facts presented here are the one's I heard in court, jury nullification would be the order of the day."
Actually, I have the feeling with the publicity, this woman will probably get off in some way.
The onus, however, is on the Florida legislature. Part of the problem with the law like this. It is obviously absurd as written and could be rewritten to eliminate this gross absurdity. But with the drug law hysteria died down somewhat, the Legislature doesn't want to pass even a less absurd version of this law---which would still be absurd in many ways. On the other hand, they don't have the nerve to throw out the mandatory sentences altogether.
I wouldn't count on it. Richard Paey is still in prison, and his story has been on 60 Minutes and written up in the National Review and the New York Times.
It's all about governmental control over every aspect of out lives. Consider this-Just about anything you do, or don't do, is a crime, and more are becoming federal offenses.

BRONX, N.Y. (Aug. 11, 2011) – Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Wednesday night's Major League Baseball matchup between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels at Yankees Stadium.
The Yankees won Wednesday night's game 9-3 over the Angels, placing them in the lead of the American League Wild Card race.
"I had a great time last night at Yankee Stadium," Harvick said. "I can now say I have thrown out the first pitch at the old Yankee Stadium as well as the new one, which will be a memory I will never forget. It was also great to see my two good friends Joe Girardi (Yankees team manager) and Gene Monahan (Yankees head athletic trainer), who will be retiring at the end of this season after 50 years within the Yankees organization."
Harvick, a longtime Yankees fan, also threw out the first pitch at a Yankees game in 2001, his rookie year in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and has since become friends with Girardi and Monahan.
After Wednesday night's game Harvick traveled onto Watkins Glen, N.Y., where he will compete in Sunday's Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen road course race at Watkins Glen International. In 10 starts at the 2.45-mile track, Harvick has earned one win (2006), two top-five and five top-10 finishes. Sunday's race will air on ESPN starting with the NASCAR Countdown show at noon ET.

FIVE months after sugar companies agreed with environmentalists and the federal government to try to stop pollution that's destroying the Everglades - Florida's unique river of grass - the deal has collapsed.
``It looks like a collapse - we have no schedule in mind to open negotiations again,'' said Bonnie Cohen, assistant secretary of the Interior for policy management and budget. ``We will report to the state court Jan. 7. The Clinton administration has a serious commitment to this ecosystem.''
She said the talks collapsed because the sugar firms ``demanded a 20-year immunity from further federal intervention in agricultural methods - something we could not grant. The outrage is that any nickel will be spent in court instead of for the cleanup.''
The plan under discussion would have set aside 35,000 acres as an artificial wetland in which phosphates would settle out of the runoff from sugar-cane fields into Everglades National Park.
U.S. Sugar Corporation Executive Vice President Jim Terrill blamed collapse of the pact - which would have cost sugar companies from $200 to $322 million - on the federal government: ``At the 11th hour, they put out a [new] draft plan to turn our agricultural land into a swamp - they folded to the pressure of environmentalists who want to put us out of business.''
This new draft plan was prepared by a scientific task force from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and four other federal agencies. Of the 450,000 acres under cane cultivation, some 195,000 acres would be permanently flooded and the remainder flooded for 60 percent of the time, Mr. Terrill said.
For decades, the Florida Everglades and its alligators, wading birds, and other rare wildlife have been in a steady decline. In 1988, the United States attorney in Miami filed a lawsuit against Florida and the Water District for damaging the Everglades. Sugar companies have fought the issue ever since.
The giant plumbing system of canals installed by the Army Corps of Engineers in early 1900s drained huge tracts of swamp: Around Lake Okeechobee, the land went for sugar, cattle, and vegetables; around Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, the land went to sprawling suburbs; further south are orchards of mango, avocado, and lime.
The phosphates in runoff from cane and cattle farms upset the delicate, nutrient-poor ecology of the Everglades, which once extended from Lake Okeechobee to the tip of Florida. Phosphates nourish cattails, which are replacing the sawgrass, crowding out wildlife, and blocking sunlight from the algae at the base of the food chain.
The cycles of nature are upset by decisions made by the South Florida Water Management District - largely on behalf of farmers. By holding back water in dry times, wading birds' nests are left dry, making them prey to raccoons. By releasing excess water in heavy rains, baby alligators are flooded out.
`THE real problem of the Everglades is the fragmentation of authority - it's too easy to just say it's due to big sugar as the classic black hat,'' said Dewitt John Jr., author of a recent study of sugar and the Everglades.
Still, Mr. John sees progress: The sugar companies agreed in July to create the artificial wetlands and to study replumbing the area so more rainwater would head south, instead of East into the Atlantic. This would nourish the Everglades and might help Florida Bay where a mysterious bloom of red algae has been spreading, leaving vast tracts devoid of aquatic life. Some scientists ascribe this to the lack of fresh water coming via the Everglades.
John says the release of the draft scientific report that proposed flooding huge agricultural tracts, just days before the accord's conclusion with sugar and other farmers, was a public relations disaster. ``It scared the sugar industry and suggested a much more aggressive approach'' by the federal government to protect and restore the Everglades ecosystem.

Hi & Hello!
Happy Sunday to you! Today's card uses Tilda With Cowberry Muffin & Cowberry Muffin stamps from Magnolia-Licious. I had never heard of a cowberry; turns out these are also called lingonberries (have you had the lingonberry jam at Ikea? SO good).
Here in Newfoundland we call them Partridgeberries; I had a slice of Partridgeberry cake with tea for breakfast and never knew of the coincidence until I looked it up.
Anyhoo, let's pretend these are cupcakes because they sure look like cupcakes sprinkled with sparkly crystal sugar to me, and are much more appetizing when I think of them that way :)
Card Details
Tilda was colored with Copic markers, then her dress and her muffins were accented with Crystal Stickles and Pastel Raspberry Liquid Pearls. Her wings are tinted a sparkly blue with Waterfall Stickles.
I borrowed my friend's Stampin' Up! Oval Scallop Frame Bigz die to cut the scallop and oval, then edged the Cameo Rose textured cardstock frame with Crystal Stickles. The base of the card is Creamy Caramel textured cardstock; the green checked paper is Humpty Dumpty by American Crafts from the Baby collection.
The die cut flourishes are Spellbinders Floral Accents; I added some flatback pearls and Prima roses to them. A small bit of ribbon adds a pretty accent to the frame; K&Co. rhinestones add sparkle and shine.
Thanks for stoppin' by, I hope you have a crafty and creative day.

BEIJING--China's industrial production slowed slightly in July and investment showed signs of weakness, official data showed Wednesday.
Value-added industrial output in China rose 9.0% in July from a year earlier, edging down from a 9.2% on-year increase in June, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.
July's rise matched the median 9.0% gain forecast by 15 economists in a Wall Street Journal survey.
Industrial production also increased 0.68% in July from June. In June, it rose 0.77% from the preceding month.
Fixed-asset investment in nonrural areas of China rose 17.0% in the January-July period compared with the same period a year earlier.
The rise in the closely watched indicator of construction activity was also slower than the 17.3% increase recorded in the January-June period. It also undershot the economists' median forecasts of 17.3% gain.
Retail sales in China increased 12.2% in July from a year earlier, slowing from a 12.4% on-year increase in June and below forecasts of a 12.5% increase. Retail sales also increased 0.86% in July from June. In June, they rose a revised 0.95% from the preceding month.

Hello - just joined as I am having problems in getting to grips with a problem we are having.
In ground pool, with a Sand Filter. I recently vacuumed the pool, and did a backwash and a rinse.
At that point water started to stream from the top edge of the clear lid. The lid itself is new, and is on it's 2nd seal, as that was my first try.
I can seal the lid fine, and generally as the pressure builds up, it holds. However as soon as the pool switched off, and then back on water will again come out.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Rescue Me Saga by Kallypso Masters (Book #1 – 6) Free eBooks Download
NOBODY'S HERO: Retired Marine Master Sergeant Adam Montague has battled through four combat zones, but now finds himself retreating from Karla Paxton, who has declared war on his heart. With a significant age difference, he feels he should be her guardian and protector, not her lover. But Karla's knack for turning up in his bed at inopportune times is killing his resolve to do the right thing. Karla isn't the young girl he rescued nine years earlier—something his body reminds him of every chance it gets.
NOBODY'S PERFECT: Savannah/Savi escaped eleven years of abuse at the hands of her father and finally made a safe life for herself and her daughter. But when her father once again threatens her peace of mind—and her daughter's safety—Savi runs to Damian Orlando for protection. Eight years earlier as Savannah, she shared one perfect day with Damian that changed both their young lives and resulted in a secret she no longer can hide. But being with Damian reawakens repressed memories and feelings she wants to keep buried. After witnessing a scene with Damian on Savi's first night at his private club, however, she begins to wonder if he could help her regain control of her life and reclaim her sexuality and identity.
SOMEBODY'S ANGEL: When Marc d'Alessio first rescued the curvaceous and spirited Italian Angelina Giardano at the Masters at Arms Club, he never expected her to turn his safe, controlled life upside down and pull at his long-broken heartstrings. Months later, the intense fire of their attraction still rages, but something holds him back from committing to her completely. Worse, secrets and memories from his past join forces to further complicate his relationships with family, friends, and his beautiful angel.
NOBODY'S LOST: Ryder Wilson returned from serving multiple deployments but can't leave the hell of combat behind him. Frustrated and ashamed of his inability to function in the world as well as the veterans he served with, he retreated, choosing to engage only with those he trusted. When retired Master Sergeant Adam Montague sends him on a mission to protect his sister from some unknown danger, Ryder's days of hiding out may be over. Can he fulfill his mission without failing again?
NOBODY'S DREAM: Quiet, Peruvian-born artist Cassie Lopez learned this the hard way. Betrayed by the man she planned to marry, she shut herself off as far away from all but her closest friend from college… Until the night Luke Denton came crashing into her Colorado mountain sanctuary with a vengeance. Confused by her heart's response to this kind and gentle man, Cassie pushes herself to help the cowboy recover quickly so she can send him on his way. But Luke's patience and understanding threaten to break down the very defenses she needs to survive in this world after he's gone.

Q: Is 303 really necessary?
A: Yes, it is.
Why? Read on...
I don't think you explain this in your email.
What's the problem with having many options re. mechanics for associating an HTTP based Entity Name with a Descriptor Resource Address?
Do you mean associate a resource with a description? Or do you mean something else? Can you rephrase using the terminology that everyone else uses please.
Who is everyone else? How about the fact that terminology that you presume to be common is actually uncommon across broader spectrum computing.
Anyway, translation:
What's the problem with having a variety of methods for using LINKs to associate a "Non Information Resource" with an "Information Resource" that describes it (i.e., carries its structured representation)? Why place an implementation detail at the front of the Linked Data narrative?
We shouldn't be narrowing options for implementing the fundamental essence of Linked Data -- hypermedia based data representation. Of course, we can discuss and debate individual, product, or organization preferences etc.. But please lets not push these as mandates. We should never mandate that 303's are bad, never. Its an implementation detail, no more no less.
I'm suggesting that we relax a mandate to always use 303 and since you're saying we must not narrow options then you seem to be supporting my suggestion,
I didn't know there was a mandate to always use 303. Hence my comments.
The only thing that should be mandatory re. Linked Data is this: HTTP based Entity Names should Resolve to structured Descriptors that are Human and/or Machine decipherable.
Are you saying that requesting a URI should return a description document?
Resolve to a Descriptor Document which may exist in a variety of formats. Likewise, Descriptor documents (RDF docs, for instance) should clearly identify their Subject(s) via HTTP URI based Names.
Example (in this example we have 1:1 re. Entity Name and Descriptor for sake of simplicity):
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Paris> -- Name <http://dbpedia.org/page/Paris> -- Descriptor Resource (HTML+RDFa) this resource will expose other representations via <head/> (<link/> + @rel) or "Link:" in response headers etc..
Ironically, bearing in mind my comments, we do arrive at the same conclusion, but in different ways. I phrase my conclusion as: heuristics for implementing HTTP based Entity Names that Resolve to structured Descriptor Resources shouldn't dominate the Linked Data narrative, especially as comprehension of the fundamental concept remains mercurial.
So are you contradicting your answer at the start of the post?
I am saying, what I've already stated: heuristics re. essence of Linked Data mechanics shouldn't front the conversation. You sort of arrive there too, but we differ re. mandates.
Potential point of reconciliation:
You assumed that 303 is an existing mandate. I am totally unaware of any such mandate.
I don't even buy into HTTP scheme based Names as a mandate, they simply make the most sense courtesy of Web ubiquity. As is already the case re., LINK semantics [1], Hammer stack [2], and WebFinger [3], mailto: and acct: schemes work fine as Resolvable Names for Linked Data. In addition, XRD [4] also works fine as Descriptor Doc option.
To sum the broader picture up here: let's be inclusive rather than exclusive re. Linked Data.

Police searched the Bethlehem Township, Pa., home where a 26-year-old woman was found dead Wednesday afternoon and uncovered packets of heroin in two bedrooms, according to court records.
Township police were called 1 p.m. Wednesday to the home in the 3900 block of Country Club Road when 35-year-old homeowner Chad Delp came back from work to find a female visitor unresponsive and cold to the touch, court papers say.
Delp allegedly told police he and the woman had communicated for about a year over the phone and through text messages. They agreed to meet Tuesday at the woman's job at Platinum Plus Gentleman's Club in Allentown, court papers say. Delp said the woman came to his home after she was done with work.
Representatives of the strip club declined comment. A number listed for Delp was not in service, and no one answered the door at his house.
Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek identified the woman as Amy Soule, of the first block of Howard Street in Allentown. An autopsy was completed today, but Lysek is awaiting test results and the investigation's completion before releasing the cause and manner of death.
"We would want to see if any of the drugs found in the home were in her system," Bethlehem Township police Chief Daniel Pancoast said.Soule, wearing only low-cut socks, was found face down on the bed with a white blanket covering her from her waist down. Police said they could find no evidence of trauma to the body but that empty packets containing suspected heroin were found elsewhere in the room.
The upstairs bedroom where Soule was found smelled of marijuana, police report. A glass pipe was spotted in a partially open drawer near the bed. Police also found empty packets containing suspected heroin in the garbage can of the room, according to court records.
Packets containing heroin were found inside a small purse that was within a box of electronics equipment in a spare bedroom, records say.
Police indicated in court records that Delp would face charges for possession of drug paraphernalia and a small amount of marijuana. Pancoast said investigators had not determined to whom the heroin belonged.
Police obtained a search warrant from Bethlehem District Judge Roy Manwaring to seize any possible evidence from the Bethlehem Township, Pa., home where the body of Amy Soule, 26, of Allentown, was found Wednesday. The circumstances of her death remained unknown today. Items taken from the home included:
- Six packets of suspected heroin with green lettering
- Four empty white paper wrappers with green lettering
- Marijuana-related drug paraphernalia
- 9-millimeter Beretta handgun
- Starter pistol
- Two laptops and an iPad
- A hard drive, zip drive and flash drive
- Two cellphones
- Camera and memory card
- Metal ring with jewels
- Brown, red and black-and-brown purses

Gun Cleaning Box, Soilid Oak and Maple construction. The main box is made from red oak. Oak Raise panel for the top lid. The pull out drawer front is oak. Drawer pulls were made from High brass 20 ga. shotgun shells. ( you punch out the used primer and a #8 wood screw fits perfectly) The drawer and the removable top tray that hide the gun cradles were made from hard maple. You pull out the top tray and stand up the gun cradles and place the tray back in which hold the gun cradles upright. Plenty of storage for gun cleaning equipment. (5) compartments on top and (5) compartments in the pull out drawer. The box was finished off with fruitwood stain and 3 coats of Pre-catalize Lacquer. Latches,handles and hinges are bright brass.

I am considering one like this for my next project. I use pine, popular, and cedar a lot in my shop since I have that available to me. However I just found a man with a bunch of 1" thick, various widths and lengths, of Red Oak that has been stickered in piles for 2-4 years or more. I am planning on getting a big lot of this so I will be using it in lots of projects. Beside this project, do you use Red Oak a lot ?? There may be some white oak as well available. Any input on oak is appreciated.

Nice design and great looking job of construction. I really like this and have often thought of doing something like it, but with more drawers and compartments since I clean a variety of pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns. Looks like the carcass is 3/4" thick. Do you think it could be built with a carcass that is either 1/2" or 5/8" thick to reduce weight? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to all for your positive comments. It was a tough project, not having any plans or dimensions. I just remember seeing this style of box in a fly fishing magazine or in a fly shop a while back. an thought I have more time than money so I gave it a try. As much as i would like to have had the original idea! but I was able to put some of my own fare to it. It was a christmas gift to my son inlaw.

Memex Automation ITMS 2010 Show Special Rated Huge Success
Manufacturing shop floor productivity took a much-needed step forward at the Manufacturing Technology Show IMTS 2010. Memex Automation will showcase and offer "Show Specials" of its new universal file server that improves CNC machine tool productivity, thereby allowing machines to operate more efficiently and therefore help companies be more productive.
In today's manufacturing world with individual machines being the islands of automation, they very often do not have ready and quick access to the manufacturing programs needed to run the machines. This is very often caused because of lack of network connections of the machines to the powerful CAD/CAM servers that store the programs and the latency in downloading very large programs even if there is a connection. In many cases operators are running around the shop floor trying to get the correct programs where the machine is waiting not being utilized, often many hours per day.
Memex's new Universal File Server, Ax2200HS-FS provides for large file storage directly at the machine as well as an Ethernet to serial Bridge to connect directly to the machine. This is much more robust and shop hardened than a PC located at the machine, and is easily one quarter of the cost.
By assisting manufacturers to be more productive on a day by day operating basis, Memex is assisting the North American manufacturing sector to be more competitive on a global basis.

Developing a system is not an easy thing. There are lots of things involved. Starting from the knowledge of Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM), mentality of SDM, communication skill, coordination, leadership, commitment, and discipline. Leadership is an important starting point in developing and implementing a system. However, if the leader of the organisation has no time or intention in doing so, a system can only be developed in the form of a subsystem that can only be applied to a certain part of an organisation.
Knowledge of System Development
Knowledge of SDM is something that can be a wheel for the success of developing a system. Luckily, the background knowledge has sometimes been ready and available, so in terms of finding the basic needed for the system, will not be a difficult thing. However, working with only one person will be an absurd thing. That way, the help of staffs in the development process is needed. The smoothness of this process really depends on the readiness of knowledge of each SDM involved.
The main difficulty of this process is that the SDM is not really ready in projecting the existing task into a comprehensive systems. The person that will be given the task to develop the blueprint of the system, needs to have a certain level of knowledge in system development. This in particular needs time to achieve, since staffs has no enough time for learning, and learning is the last thing to do, way after all existing tasks finalised. But, once this is ready, than the process of developing a system will be on the go.
In particular, system development is suited for people with a background of IT (Information Systems). In such study, there are a number of subjects thought in relation to the system development, including Information Systems Analysis, Object Oriented Modelling, Unified Modelling Language, Algorithm, and some other related subjects. It is a benefit, if one that will be appointed as the person in charge for the system development, learns about these subjects first.
Other topics on System Development: Knowledge, Mentality, Leadership, Commitment, Coordination, Discipline, and Communication Skill

Sailing, with the second-largest number of competitors (455) and nations (79) after track and field, had its own opening ceremonies, which didn't go as planned.
About 8,000 people paid up to $350 each to attend the event Saturday night at a park in Savannah, Ga., 250 miles from Atlanta. While master of ceremonies Walter Cronkite made introductions, a drenching electrical storm broke loose to end the show.
Most nervous were the racing judges, seated together and trapped on the top row of metal bleachers when everyone was told to vacate because of the lightning.
Tom Ehman of Michigan pulled out his cellular phone and left a message at his home: "I told [wife] Leslie and [daughter] Meg how much I loved them, and if they never heard from me again they could know that I went out in a blaze of glory--freshly showered and probably with a new hairstyle."

Term Life Insurance Policies
Term life insurance policies generally offer the greatest amount of coverage for the lowest initial cost – they are the most straightforward form of coverage. If you have shorter-term needs and limited money to spend on insurance, a term life insurance policy from Farmers New World Life Insurance Company may be the best fit for you.
Policyholders generally pay a premium on a monthly or annual basis for the length of that term. Proceeds help to cover financial responsibilities that decrease or end over time, like mortgages or car loans, should something happen to the insured. With term life policies, premiums will increase at the end of the fixed-term period.
Term life insurance policies are typically used to help provide additional life insurance coverage during child-raising years, to help pay for short-term debts, to help pay off a mortgage, or to fund a college education should the unexpected happen.
Farmers Simple Term2
Simple Term life insurance coverage is designed with a simplified life insurance application and accelerated underwriting process. This product offers level-term insurance with face amounts low enough to fit many budgets, and premiums that are guaranteed level for 10, 20, or 30 years.
- Coverage starting at $75,000
- Convertible to lifelong3 coverage that may build cash value regardless of health
- No lengthy forms, medical exams or lab tests required, however, issuance of a policy may depend on answers set forth in the application
Farmers Value Term4
Farmers Value Term® provides affordable life insurance coverage with premiums that are guaranteed not to increase for 10, 20, or 30 years. When you need enough coverage to help protect your family against loss of income or the cost of a mortgage, Farmers Value Term may be a cost-effective solution for you.
- Guaranteed level death benefit5
- Convertible to lifelong coverage that may build cash value, regardless of health
- Coverage starting at $150,000
Farmers Decreasing Term6
Farmers Decreasing Term life insurance is decreasing-term coverage with premiums guaranteed to remain level as long as the policy is in force. The death benefit decreases monthly, rather than annually, to more closely follow the declining loan balance of a traditional fixed home mortgage. The death benefit amount decreases to 20% of the original face value over the duration of the term.
- Coverage starting at $25,0007
- 15, 20, 25, and 30-year policies are available
- Convertible to lifelong coverage that may build cash value regardless of health

2 Policy form 2005-261 or applicable state variation. Available face amounts may vary. Premiums are subject to change after the initial term period.
3 Lifelong coverage is guaranteed as long as all the premiums are paid to keep the policy in force.
4 Policy form 2000-228, 2000-230, 2002-226 or applicable state variation. Premiums are subject to change after the initial term period.
5 The death benefit is guaranteed according to the terms of the contract and provided that premiums are paid.

For the Media
Clarkson Professor Named Fellow of the Prestigious Max-Planck Institute for Physics
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/schulman.jpg]
Lawrence S. Schulman, professor of Physics at Clarkson University, has been awarded the Martin- Gutzwiller Fellowship 2005/2006 of the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems.
Perhaps best known by physicists for his work in "Path Integrals," this is but one of the entries in Schulman's astonishingly broad list of research activities. Other research topics in which Schulman has made an impressive mark include: quantum measurements, the physics of galaxies, approximate topologies, quantum stochastics (random variables), roughening at solid-superfluid interfaces, phase transitions, the natural selection of L-enantiomers, and, of course, the arrow of time - his theory of time running backward. Though his results regarding time running backward may seem like science fiction, they were derived within the rigorous confines of theoretical physics and have appeared in the New Scientist, the prestigious journal Physics Review Letters and on BBC radio.
The Martin-Gutzwiller Fellowship is awarded annually by the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in appreciation of Gutzwiller'fs many contributions to theoretical physics. The award acknowledges and promotes exceptional research in this field.
"Professor Schulman's ground-breaking research on quantum measurement has inspired a generation of researchers to explore Feynman path integrals and has contributed to the knowledge base and general interest in quantum computation," remarked James R. (Dick) Pratt, dean of Clarkson's School of Arts & Sciences. The Martin-Gutzwiller Fellowship is an acknowledgement of Larry's many past contributions to the field of physics and the expectation of his future contributions.
As a Martin-Gutzwiller Fellow, Schulman is invited to visit and work at the Max-Planck Institute for one academic year. A young collaborator (Ph.D. student, postdoc) is also invited to join Schulman and his or her research experience is supported by the Institute's visitors program.
Schulman received his Ph.D. from Princeton University. He was on the faculty of Indiana University and the Technion in Haifa before joining Clarkson University in 1985. His many research interest areas include: statistical physics (Foundation issues, non-equilibrium methods, applications to galaxies, ecosystems, phase transitions, percolation, complexity), quantum mechanics (Feynman path integral, condensed matter applications foundations), and cosmology. He has written several books and authored or co-authored more than 200 articles for scholarly publications.

BATTERED by political storms and listing badly, Russia's ship of state is struggling to reach a safe port.
The winter session of the Congress of People's Deputies, the country's supreme legislature, has proved to be far more tumultuous than the government of Russian President Boris Yeltsin had expected. The Russian leader on Saturday escaped a bid by opponents to drastically curb his powers, vital for economic reforms, and to shift them to the conservative parliament.
While the government avoided the worst, its waning political strength became strikingly visible during the five days of Congress meetings, which are expected to end this week. Neither President Yeltsin nor his ministers have wielded much influence over the 1,023 deputies gathered in the Kremlin for their twice-annual session. The members of the would-be partnership of the government and centrists have spent their time accusing each other of betrayal and impotence. The more hard-line foes of the governmen t, the axis of former Communists and extreme Russian nationalists, are already eagerly antici- pating their next bout in the spring.
When the votes on nine proposed amendments to the Constitution were announced at close of Saturday's work, the margin of the government's victory was breathtakingly close. An amendment to give parliament, instead of Yeltsin, the power to approve all key Cabinet appointments failed to reach the required two-thirds majority by a mere four votes. Another that would have allowed parliament to form ministries and executive departments fell only one vote short.
Members of the government of Acting Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar tried to put the best face on the results. "We haven't broken the fragile equilibrium of power that existed in Russia," Minister of Economy Andrei Nechayev told reporters. "At least it won't be possible to destroy the government in the way the opposition hoped for at the Congress. But this doesn't mean the government will have an easy time in the future."
Mr. Nechayev's caution is borne out by a closer look at changes the Congress did approve, as well as objectives the government failed to achieve.
The Congress passed an amendment compelling the government to submit for approval all proposed changes in government structure to the standing parliament, the Supreme Soviet. Another amendment makes the Cabinet responsible to parliament as well as the president, a vague formula that Yeltsin adviser Sergei Stankeivich warns could have "rather serious" implications that include confusing the lines of power. There are also worries the opposition will try to redraft and pass this week the amendment requiring
parliament's approval for Cabinet appointments.
Lost in the furor over these amendments was the more basic change embodied in the president's inability to gain backing for his own proposals for power-sharing made at the start of the Congress on Dec. 1. Yeltsin had sought to deny parliament's right to initiate legislation on economic reform issues while giving up an attempt to extend his emergency powers to legislate by decree. But the decree authority, by which most of the key economic reforms have been enacted, has now expired, and Yeltsin failed to get the powers he had hoped for in the bargain.
As the Congress heads toward a close this week, Yeltsin faces an additional hurdle in trying to gain its approval of economic reform architect Mr. Gaidar. Yeltsin aide Stankeivich, anticipating that the president's nominee might not be approved, says Gaidar could be kept on as acting premier for a few more months, perhaps until April's session of Congress.
The result may be a tough atmosphere for ongoing reforms in Russia. One Western economic advisor warns that the conservative-dominated parliament may now go on to try to impose wage and price controls resisted by Gaidar's team.
The voting pattern reflected the failure of the government to secure the backing of most of the centrist factions, as well as many nonaffiliated deputies. In days prior to the Congress, the government sought a deal with Civic Union, an alliance of centrist groups. But that pact was never solidified, and most centrists joined hands with the hard-line Russian Unity bloc, which claims about 350 followers in the Congress.
The president could only count on the hard-core support of the Radical Democrats, Democratic Russia, and other pro-government reformers, numbering an estimated 240 deputies. Last-minute lobbying efforts rounded up about 100 more supporters, mainly by applying pressure through on regional government chiefs.
Many centrists, instead of siding with Yeltsin, backed a shift of powers to parliament, arguing that this was the price for keeping Gaidar and his economic reforms.
"The whole trick was to make these amendments and to save Gaidar and his team," says deputy Alexander Lubimov, a well-known television producer and member of Smena-New Change faction, one part of Civic Union. "Now we can't stop the Communists.... Even if Gaidar passes, they will take revenge in the Supreme Soviet." Members of the Supreme Soviet are drawn from the Congress of People's Deputies.
Mr. Lubimov and other centrists say the government failed to seal support by refusing to agree beforehand to a new cabinet that would include many from their ranks.
Members of the government retort that Civic Union couldn't deliver on its claim to have 400 supporters in the Congress. "As a matter of fact, nobody knows whether Civic Union has votes at the Congress," says Deputy Premier Alexander Shokhin.
Meanwhile, hard-liners seem content to wait until the April Congress, letting the Gaidar government discredit itself further as the economy slides deeper into crisis.
"We must start preparing for the next stage already," Russian Unity leader Ilya Konstantinov said after Saturday's vote. "The decisive moment has been put off."

French Lavender–A Favorite of Pollinators
It's bare-root season, a special time of the year for me. I like to visit local nurseries and check out the new offerings of heirloom roses, fruit trees, berries, herbs, and flowers. No matter which nursery I visit, I always seem to spot the lavender first.
After we moved to the Henny Penny Farmette, we put in lots of French lavender. But after a few years, the stalks have grown old and woody.
Recently, on a visit to a nearby nursery, we purchased twenty one-gallon plants of French Lavender, an upright perennial that we've discovered blooms almost all year long in our Bay Area climate.
Now, they are hardening off in my garden until I get around to planting them.
The word "dentata" means toothed and a closer examination of the foliage reveals fringed indentations.
This aromatic, shrub has been around for centuries. Valued for its ornamental and medicinal properties, it also is used for soil erosion control. Once established, the lavender is drought tolerant.
Many gardeners love this lavender for its gray-green leaves. When other flowering plants in the garden have finished their blooming cycle, this lavender keeps producing tall spikes of bright purple florets.
Not as brilliant in color as the English or Spanish lavender, the French lavender is lovely grouped together in a single area where its flower stalks can sway in the wind. Our honeybees and other pollinators love it.

Collaborations and partnerships in the fashion world is always buzzing but a certain retailer has always taken a unique approach to brand partnerships. With a dazzling resume of collabs under its belt, UNIQLO has worked with small labels to big names like fashion designer Jil Sander, textile designer Celia Birtwell and French fashion icon, Ines de La Fressange. Now, the brand has teamed up with fashion designer and blogger, Hana Tajima on a collection that redefines practical, modest and stylish style. The U.K-born beauty converted to Islam at the tender age of 16 and is part of a big group of Muslim women who have mastered the concept of personal expression while covering up. Whether you're a Muslim woman or just Sassy Girl who loves modest ensembles, Tajima's collab with UNIQLO is all about celebrating the individual beneath her ensemble.
Hi Hana, congratulations on this amazing collaboration with UNIQLO. How does it feel being part of a project this huge?
Thank you! It's been a wonderful experience, more so even than I had expected. I had to just look at the things in front of me rather than focus on the big picture. When it comes to designing and working on the collection, my attention is focused on nowhere else but the process. Whether I'm working for a single client or on a project like this I can't help working it the way I know how.
Are you a personal fan of UNIQLO?
I've been a fan of UNIQLO since before their first UK store. Anyone coming back from Japan would have a good portion of their suitcase dedicated to UNIQLO. On any given day, it's safe to assume that something I'm wearing is from UNIQLO, even if it's just their socks and tees. They do wardrobe essentials better than anyone else.
What is it about the UNIQLO brand that resonates with your personal style?
They have such a specific philosophy behind 'LifeWear' that really resonated with me: you don't have to think about the clothes, they just fit into your life and wardrobe.
What was the design process like for this collaboration?
I wanted to start from the absolute beginning. Throw out any ideas of what this collection should look like and explore the simple notion of combining function with perfect fit. I played with new ways of cutting and using layers as a way to add depth and comfort, and at the same time this very beautiful aesthetic concept started to develop.
In fact most of the design process is complete before my pencil ever gets to paper. It's more malleable when it's all in my head, I can play with the designs, adjust the construction, make huge changes, and when I do finally draw them I get to discover them in a whole other way. It keeps the element of discovery and newness that is such an important part of the process.
What are the highlights of the collection?
The fabrics that I got to work with are so light and fluid, they embody this idea of being beautiful and functional. There are also details, such as the layered sleeve, that I developed specifically for this collection.
What are your favourite pieces from the collection?
My favourite pieces change almost on a daily basis. There's something forever classic about a white shirt and the Fly Front Shirt is my homage to that. There's something almost masculine about it (and I am a sucker for men's shirts), but the cut is distinctly feminine.
The Kebaya is so versatile, and because you can 'chop and change' it you can get a lot of wear out of it. You can even do as I did in the photo shoot and mix and match to colour-block, so the top is one colour and the skirt is another.
When I got the finished samples back for the first time I was most excited to try the Rayon Wrap Tunic. It was such an exciting piece to make because I didn't use a sketch, instead I draped it on the stand. Because of that, it has a very organic quality to it, so whenever I wear it I feel like I'm discovering it all over again.
The collection features some hijab styles. Was there an intention for this collection to specifically target Muslim women?
I always come back to this idea that a woman is not defined as one thing. I think the modest aesthetic appeals to a lot of different women. These are very modern silhouettes, sometimes very feminine, and sometimes a little androgynous. It's all in the way you choose to style the pieces.
While there are items which are very suitable for Muslim women, the Hana Tajima x UNIQLO collection is catered for all women who appreciate modest wear.
We know that you're good friends with Yuna, how does it feel like to have her front the campaign with you?
Yuna and I working together on something together has been a long time coming. It was really a perfect fit, and like everything with this project it was the most natural way to do things. Watching her try pieces from the collection at the fitting for the shoot was wonderful and a little surreal.
What is the most essential piece from the collection that everyone must buy?
When it came to styling the photo shoot, the slim tapered ankle pants were incredibly useful. This is because there are no pockets or fastenings at the waist, which makes them perfect for layering under tops and tunics and maintaining a sleek silhouette.
I also have a thing for the Kebaya. I'm a sucker for anything you can wear more than one way, and with the detachable skirt you have a jacket, wrap skirt, and Kebaya in one.
Do you have some styling tips for women who'd like to try modest dressing yet look stylish and edgy at the same time?
Finding a style that reflects your personality is the most important part of building a wardrobe. If you find one perfect look that you feel confident in, use it as a uniform. Slowly, you can start to build on that and experiment knowing that you have a strong base.
Are there any other projects that you're currently undertaking?
There are a few non-fashion projects that I'm working on, such as artwork and video collaborations.
What can we expect from you in the future?
I'm going to keep making things because I can't seem to stop, but I typically like to keep projects to myself until the creative process is done. Once you let an idea out it belongs less to you and more to the world, and you have to get that timing right.

Day 2 - Custom Riders
The early bird catches the worm, so by the time we got up and going all the worms had been eaten. Fortunately none of us like worms, so a full english breakfast, with the introduction of Black Pudding was high on the agenda. On full bellies we headed full-steam towards Custom Riders and Flo Skatepark in Nottingham which you may remember from the start of Ride To Glory. After the guys had signed everything within arms reach a busy but fun session ensued, with everyone just having a good old time. We even managed to snap a photo of Ian Morris which is the first riding photo he's had taken since 1993! One lucky fella went home with the complete United RN1 and countless others were more than happy to fight it out in the bowl for stickers and t-shirts; I'm pretty sure everyone went home happy. Having filled up on some wonderful Nottingham curry we're in London and ready to hit up The Volt and ride some bowls in the glorious sunshine tomorrow. See ya there! - DUNK

An artist who's vehemently opposed free music teams up with a file-sharing company in an unlikely arrangement that could be a win for everyone involved.
BitTorrent, Inc., the company behind the file-sharing protocol used by controversial sites like the Pirate Bay, is experimenting with a new way to provide free music and pay artists at the same time.
BitTorrent is working with artists to offer exclusive "bundles" of music for free download, along with "relevant software" from BitTorrent's advertising partners. Whenever someone installs a bundled app, the artist gets a share of the revenue. It's being billed as the first-ever attempt at monetizing a torrent file.
And if that's not surprising enough, the first artist to participate in this experiment is DJ Shadow, who has been famously outspoken about the Internet's negative effect on the music business and vehemently opposed to giving his music away for free.
Shadow, real name Josh Davis, told Wired last September that the Internet had "decimated" the music industry.
"The internet was supposed to democratize communication, but the opposite seems to have happened," he said.
A year later, Shadow has joined forces with the company behind a protocol that has allowed thousands of people to download his music free of charge.
Three tracks from his upcoming collection, Total Breakdown: Hidden Transmissions From The MPC Era (1992-1996), are now available for download from BitTorrent, along with exclusive photos and footage from his earlier years.
Although the partnership suggests DJ Shadow may have had a change of heart about the Internet—and about free music—one of his collaborators on the project told the Daily Dot that's not the case.
"I wouldn't say [Shadow] is anti-Internet," said Michael Fiebach, founder of Fame House, the digital marketing team that helped broker the deal between Shadow and BitTorrent.
"I've been working with him since 2006. He's always been a leader in the ways he uses the Internet for his business. He was one of the first artists to have an autonomous online store operation. He was the first artist to license digital music back from the major labels he's under contract with to sell direct to fans. And now he's the first artist to monetize a torrent."
Although he pointed out that he doesn't speak for Shadow, Fiebach said that what the DJ has always been against is "illegal use of his content on the Internet."
"He values what he makes, and he thinks he should dictate whether or not it's being given away for free, not some Joe Schmoe with a laptop."
But if enough Joe Schmoes with laptops download DJ Shadow's legal BitTorrent release, the artist stands to make a profit, although the experiment may pay off in promotion for the full release of Total Breakdown rather than in cold, hard cash. Fiebach suggested Shadow's take will look more like the royalties for Spotify plays than the larger paydays offered by iTunes downloads and CD sales.
BitTorrent also stands to gain from the partnership. The company has been experimenting with ways to promote artists over the past few years, and this is another step toward making the BitTorrent name less synonymous with piracy.
"This is a really good story for them to tell, and it makes them look more legitimate," Fiebach said, "But it's a big win for Shadow, too … Whether or not it ends up making a ton of money, it's a win as a story before anything else."
BitTorrent plans to launch similar experiments with other artists in the coming months, including some signed to major labels.

4 soldiers wounded in clash with NPA rebels in Cagayan Valley
MANILA, Philippines – Four soldiers were wounded in an encounter with communist rebels in Cagayan Valley early Wednesday, the military said.
The soldiers were on combat patrol in Sitio (sub-village) Alindayag, T. Elizaga village in Gattaran town when it clashed with the New People's Army rebels led by Rolando Ibis alias Person at about 6:45 a.m., Colonel Loreto Magundayao of the Army 5th Infantry Division said in a statement.
The encounter lasted for about an hour and the rebels fled in different directions.
Initial reports based on the account of the villagers said that the rebels were allegedly conducting extortion and early campaigning activities.
But Magundayao told INQUIRER.net that they have yet to confirm who the rebels were campaigning for.
Pursuit operations have been launched, he added.

How much foliage did you remove?
Assume no worries about how little left??

I did not remove much. it only looks like it because the foliage is ordered now.

Any general guidelines as to just "how much" foliage you would remove on an initial styling of RMJ ? (assuming VERY good/strong root system below, and at least a few years after being collected)
Thank You,

Well, be careful about not removing too much foliage on junipers. On pines you can remove much more if the roots are OK.

Beautiful tree.
Curious about something - you have a number of American trees in your collection, including some ponderosa pines. Are you still able to import material from the U.S. or has it become very difficult to impossible these days?
- September 13, 2012 at 11:34 PM

There was a tine when I had the opportunity to import legally a few trees. Nowadays it is totally impossible. Too bad, but there is no legal way to import conifers and most broadleaved trees from America into Europe.

ConsumerLab.com announced that tests of eleven red yeast rice supplements revealed enormous differences in levels of cholesterol-lowering statin compounds. Statin levels fell dramatically among brands previously tested in 2008. A potentially toxic contaminant, citrinin, was found in four of the products. Results were published online <https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Red-Yeast-Rice-Supplements-Review/Red_Yeast_Rice/> on ConsumerLab.com.
Red yeast rice naturally contains the cholesterol-lowering statin compound lovastatin, the active ingredient in prescription Mevacor. Labels on red yeast rice products, however, generally do not disclose lovastatin content due to concern that the supplement will be considered an unapproved drug by the FDA and removed from the market. This makes it difficult for consumers and doctors to assess and compare red yeast rice supplements, although they remain widely used and can be effective.
Clinical studies of red yeast rice have shown reductions in LDL cholesterol of 18% to 42%, although each study has used a different red yeast rice preparation. In addition to containing lovastatin, red yeast rice contains a variety of related compounds which may act synergistically to lower LDL cholesterol. Side effects may also be diminished compared to pharmaceutical statins.
Among eleven products in the report, amounts of lovastatin compounds ranged from 0 mg to 3.5 mg per 600 mg of red yeast rice. The average amount was 1.48 mg per 600 mg. Products shown to work clinically have contained 1.63 mg to 5.7 mg of lovastatin compounds per 600 mg of red yeast rice. Based on the suggested serving sizes of the recently tested products, ConsumerLab.com found that only four would deliver a daily dose of lovastatins in the range used in clinical studies.
Several products in the current review were among those previously reviewed by ConsumerLab.com in 2008 (and subsequently published in a peer-reviewed article in Archives of Internal Medicine http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/170/19/1722 in 2010) ConsumerLab.com discovered the amounts of lovastatin compounds in these products to be 29% to 88% lower than in the same ones purchased in 2008, although the labelled amount of red yeast rice (600 mg) remained the same. The declines suggest that different and chemically weaker red yeast rice raw materials are now being used.
"Red yeast rice can be one of the most effective supplements but one of the most difficult for choosing a brand because companies can't list amounts of active ingredients on their labels," said Tod Cooperman, M.D., President of ConsumerLab.com. "Making matters worse, after relying on a particular brand, it may change dramatically without warning, possibly leaving you and your doctor wondering why your cholesterol levels have changed. If you use or are considering using red yeast rice, our findings may be very helpful."
Commenting on the dramatic differences among brands over time, William Obermeyer, Ph.D., Vice President for Research at ConsumerLab.com, said, "The compounds found in red yeast rice can vary based on the yeast strain and growth conditions. Cultures can also change chemical composition over time, which is why manufacturers should test each lot to help ensure a consistent product. It is also possible that some manufacturers intentionally switched to suppliers of red yeast rice with less lovastatin to try to avoid issues with the FDA."
The new report at http://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Red-Yeast-Rice-Supplements/Red_Yeast_Rice/ provides test results and comparisons for eleven products, of which ten were selected for testing by ConsumerLab.com and one was tested through its Voluntary Certification Program http://www.consumerlab.com/aboutcl.asp#voluntary>. Brands included are Best Red Yeast Rice (Doctor's Best), Choleast (Thorne Research), Cholestene (HPF), Chole-sterin (Atrium), Healthy America Red Yeast Rice, Nature's Sunshine Red Yeast Rice, NSI Red Yeast Rice, Solaray Red Yeast Rice, Spring Valley Red Yeast Rice, Stop Aging Now Extra Strength Red Yeast Rice, and Swanson Traditional Red Yeast Rice.

Part Number: INA333
Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models
Tech Support,
I have been working with the Tina sim program. I was using an outdated sim model... since corrected...
I have 2 issue...
1) The Ref pin 5... on my PCB card seems to be sourcing +VCC .... I should be able to swing the pin using OPA333 ... The Tina program shows the Ref, but in the real PCB the pin never changes..?
2) I still can't get the real chip to flip its output... regardless which part of the bridge resistor I change..?INA333 WSB Sensor Redundant Circuit Oct 1B 2017.TSC
We are glad that we were able to resolve this issue, and will now proceed to close this thread.

In reply to Herman Theodorus - WEBENCH Design Center:
Greetings Herman,
Over the past few weeks I have enjoyed working with the INA333 WSB chip. The chip is working very nice. I did how ever see something in the technical specification sheet that makes me wounder?
My boss as me to write and get a response to this question. On the first page, Section 3 description, it suggest that only one resistor is needed to set the gain from 1-1000... On Page 5, Section 6.5 specification
list the "Range of Gain", =1000 V/V, yet on page 13, Section 7.3, the "Feature Description", summary states that the chip has the capacity to have a gain of 10,000?
Would you be kind enough to explain the difference in operations... I have operated the chip with a gain setting of ~3000 and it works just fine... is there any reason to limit the Gain to just 1000 or can this chip
operate at a higher gains without causing any problems?
With warm regards,
-eINA333 WSB Circuit Nov 11 2017.pdf
In reply to Eddie Sines:
In reply to Ian Williams:
Thanks for looking into this... The application is low frequency and did a prototype circuit and set the Gain to 2800 and it worked fine. Personally I think the chip can do more... the out put was low noise and stable.
Now I am turning my attention to finding a electronic means of changing the Gain or using the INA333 as the front end for a microprocessor design. I look forward to
reading your response.
Warm regards,
Hello Eddie,
I can confirm that the information in section 7.3 is a typo. The official specification for maximum gain on the INA333 is 1000V/V. While some units may achieve higher gain, we do not guarantee any level of performance past 1000V/V. If you need a precision INA with higher gain, you can select from the devices listed here.
Best regards,
Ian Williams

... well to it. he withdrew from the family. He told the doctor he did not want to be on it anymore, but the doctor did not want him to go off of it. Finally my son turned to us for assistance and i went in with him to his appt. the doctor was rude and intmidating. i encouraged my son to share his feelings directly so he told the doctor he did not want to be on zoloft anymore. the doctor, a psychiatrist, said "I am afraid that is not possible". A few days later my son's bp dropped really low and he got an er ride to the hospital where they flushed some of the med out of him. we fired the doctor and my son came off of the drug. he deals with anxiety with anxiety unmedicated by his own choice (he is 18) and he is more communicative with us - he says he is feeling better. He saw the doctor for anxiety oossible from being onadhd meds, This is my Question: Can zoloft be stated as a necessary drug? In all my years, I have never seen a doctor make someone take an antidepressant. He would not accept my son's refusal. Your thoughts are appreciated.

hello,first of all i am very sorry for the trouble you and your son have had with the dr. As a medical professional, that is dis. to hear. Your son was put in dangerous health due to a dr who wouldnt listen to his patient! Thats WRONG in all aspects. I pray he finds a great dr that can treat him properly.
i am a nurse and have been for 5 years. Internal Medicine, OB-GYN, E.N.T. etc.
You do not have to TAKE anything a dr prescribes. You can thank them for their opinion and decline ANY MEDICAL SERVICE/MEDICATION/TESTING etc! You have PATIENT RIGHTS refusing medication is def. one of those. He felt as a phsician that Zoloft was the treatment your son needed at the time. Doesn't mean the Dr is RIGHT. Dr's are people too, they make mistakes. Depression and Anxiety medications are 80% trial and error.
He should (as a dr) listened closely to the patient and tried something new. Sometimes you have to be JUST AS FIRM with a physician as they are with you. Trust me i've worked with 22 of them. MOST (not all) are very short spoken, and set in their ways. He has to find a physician/Dr/specialist that HE feels comfortable with.
as to answer your main question, NO. You do not ever have to do what a Dr tells you.
im so glad you fired him, he obv. was the wrong dr for your son.
god bless & good luck
A mom's instinct... I knew the answer but I was absolutely stunned at this doctor's insistance. I reported him to my medical insurance and they will be doing a full investigation. My son is getting better every day. If he needs an antidepressant, it will be on his choice and his terms. He's had a lot of bullying in school and stuff and I do watch carefully but he has his group of friends and doesn't talk about hurting himself. He's just anxious because of the bullying. In kindergarten, a couple of girls tied his shoelaces together at recess and he tripped and fell. School trauma. He graduates next month and will take a semester off before going off to college, to regroup. He's a kind young man and I am so glad that I went in that day to see how this doctor was pushing him to take an antidepressant. No one but us knows what is going on in our minds.
Great answer Jen... Mary
Second and third opinions are always helpful, also a little more investigation of the MD his or her's years of experience, possible percentage base of the types of illnesses they deal with and possible therapy... Is there any one thing that brought about the depression? Is this the first time he has experienced this or is it something that has finally manifested after years of the problem not really being prevalent, in other words, no signs of the illness... There are medications out there that can help but it is surely trial and error with any of them and since you are dealing with a male, most males as a general rule do not like being medicated period so the process is a little more difficult... I would definately speak to another physician one that maybe has dealt with younger people, younger adults and knows a little more about these types of medications... Good luck to you Blaze22
Jenn is correct. Patients rights say you have a choice in ANY of your treatments and have the option to refuse anything!!! Unless a person is deemed incompetent (and then they usually have a family member power of medical attorney who makes their decisions) then they have a right to refuse. I am a nurse also and have been for 25 years!! This Dr is lucky he has never come up against me!!! He was waaaaayyyy out of line. I'm glad you are no longer letting him treat your son because that would have been one of the first things I would have told you to do!! Patients can refuse any treatment, drug, surgery etc. The Dr also has the right to tell you that if you do not follow his advice, he can no longer take care of you as a patient but you wouldnt want him to anyway and that usually only occurs in something life threatening and the person has to realize that refusing treatment is life threatening and your sons case was no where NEAR anything like this.
I'm also glad you reported him. I would go as far as to file a complaint with the State Board of Medical Examiners if I were you! Just think of how many patients he may have who have no one to step in like you did for your son. My young son was placed on Zoloft and he went into a severe manic like phase and we took him off right away!! As soon as I told his psychiatrist she agreed it was not the right medicine. She had warned me though that young people can become suicidal on drugs like Zoloft. In fact, there is a black box warning on antidepressants in young adults for suicide risk. It is good that you got your son off when you did. There are many other options for anxiety if your son decides he needs something. Dont let this one bad Dr put him off seeing a Dr-there are many very good ones out there. he just, unfortunately, got into contact with one of the bad ones. Just keep the lines of communication open with him. 18 is a very hard age for boys. they are under a lot of stress with graduation from high school and making decisions on what they want to do with their lives and of course, the girls are always in the back of their minds to torment them!! Most girls have no clue how fragile boys really are! I try to keep communication lines open with both of mine and they do talk to me. I'm sure your son feels much better since you gave a great show of support for him!! That is very important to young men-that their parents back up their decisions. All the best to you!
Thank you so much for the response. I could not believe what I was hearing and my hisband and I are glad I stepped in to advocate for my son. He was worse under this doctor's care who was abrupt and rude... I will file a complaint with the state on principal. My son is withdrawing from the drug now and having those brain zaps. He feels validated. He has adhd, so the med he is on for that triggers anxiety. He states he is open to trying another med over the summer. I wanted to ask this question because antidepressants go hand in hand with patient response and feelings. Some people feel the medication is needed and that is important. Others either do not or react badly to them. I questioned the part about making him take the drug... will have the state investigate.
