|Keeping a close eye on how your battery packs are performing is crucial to keeping your packs in tip top shape. Whether we are balancing cells, checking voltage, or wondering what the best motor/esc combo is for a particular model, Electrifly now has us covered. The PowerMatch Power Meter gives us three tools in one, a battery checking mode for viewing voltage (including individual cells on lithium packs), a balancing mode for bringing lithium cells into balance with each other, and a power checking mode for viewing crucial data from your power setup.
|I'd like to preface this review by telling you that I am not an electronics genius, and there are times when all of the numbers associated with electric flight have spun my head around! Having something with which to present me the data that I need can only be a good thing, and my goal here is to show you what the PowerMatch can do, leaving it up to you to decide what you can apply that to. With audible prompts and simple three button navigation, the PowerMatch looks to be an easy to use meter with a nice 2x16 LCD screen to display all the relevant data. Read on below for a closer look and some practical examples.
|The PowerMatch comes in a box not much bigger than the unit. The box contains the PowerMatch, a FlightPower/Thunder Power balance board adapter, and the instruction manual. The whole package is compact enough to keep in your flight box, which is where mine now resides.
|The fifteen page instruction manual goes into great depth on the features of the PowerMatch, and even includes a glossary of terms that educate the user on exactly what Amps, Milli-amps, and capacity actually are.
|The PowerMatch has a large 2x16 character LCD display which is easy to read both indoors and out in the sun. Underneath the screen is the control panel that contains the three menu navigation buttons and a small speaker on the left. On the right side is the output lead, which has a Deans Ultra plug on the end, and the standard 7 cell balance port. On the left side is the input lead, again with a Deans Ultra plug, as well as a port for plugging in a Futaba style connector that is usually found on most nicad/nimh battery packs (the same plug that is on any servo). The bottom of the PowerMatch is vented, and while there doesn't appear to be a fan, there is a large heat sink, presumably for dissipating heat when discharge balancing lipo/life/liIon packs.
|The PowerMatch can handle up to 80 amps instantaneously, and measure accurately up to 65 amps. The instruction manual says that passing 50 amps through the meter for longer than two minutes will generate heat causing the readings to become less accurate. The meter will also go into a sleep mode after 30 seconds if no input is given, though it will still be powered.
|A FlightPower/Thunder Power balance board adapter is also included, and between this and the built in Electrifly balance port, we should be covered for a wide variety of batteries. Connecting a battery to the PowerMatch is simple enough, depending on what you want to do you plug in one or both of the connectors on the battery pack (obviously just a single plug on nicad/nimh).
|When you first plug a battery into the PowerMatch meter, you are greeted with three menu options that you can cycle through using the "Mode" button. The options are "Battery Checker" mode, "Cell Balancer" mode, and "Power Checker" mode. Holding the "Esc" button for three seconds will take you to a fourth menu item; "Set Low Volt", which allows you to set the lowest cell voltage that will trigger the "Cell Volt Low" warning on the screen.
|Using Lipo, Life, and Li-Ion batteries in battery checker mode presents you with a number of useful figures. Immediately shown is the battery type (which you can also cycle through using the mode button), the number of cells, battery voltage, estimated capacity remaining, as well as a ramp gauge to indicate capacity (same style as your cell phone signal strength indicator).
|Pressing the enter button cycles through to the next screen, which displays at a glance the highest cell voltage (along with which cell it is) and the lowest cell voltage (also with the cell number). Next to this on the right is the gap voltage. This is handy for quickly determining if you have any cells that are way out of balance, indicating a possible problem.
|The following two screens display individual cell voltage for up to seven cells, before cycling back to the first screen. When testing a Nimh/Nicad battery, only the first screen is displayed, showing the battery type, voltage, cell count, and estimated capacity remaining.
|These days, most of us are familiar with working with Lipos, and the term "balancing" has become part of our R/C nomenclature. Keeping individual Lithium cells in balance with each other helps a battery pack live a long and useful life, and the cell balancer mode on the PowerMatch helps us with just that. Upon selecting cell balance mode, I was shown the battery type (which again you can cycle through), the cell count, and voltage on the first line of the LCD. On the second line in big bold letters was the word "Unbalanced". (the screen shot below shows a battery being balanced).
|Pressing the enter key takes us to the next screen, which displays the voltage of all the individual cells in one place. TO start balancing a battery, you simply hold down the enter button for a couple of seconds, and the PowerMatch begins to balance the battery. The way the PowerMatch balances the battery, is by discharging individual cells to the lowest cell count, at a maximum of 180mA. This can be seen visually on the individual cell voltage screen, as indicated by a small square icon next to each cell, which will flash if that cell is being discharged. Once balancing is complete, the PowerMatch will display "Balanced", and will enter sleep mode in fifteen seconds.
|Power check mode is an interesting feature of the PowerMatch unit. By hooking up PowerMatch inline between your battery and ESC, you can get real time data in the form of current in amps, voltage, capacity in amp-hours, and consumed power in watts. This can be useful for determining the kind of power draw your system has on your battery, and help you decide if your current configuration is producing the kind of power you want.
|As a practical example, I have always been curious as to how much power the light setup on my night flying 2M Wanderer was consuming. By using the power check mode I was able to see that my receiver with servos at neutral were pulling 0.16A, and when I ramped up the lights it went up to 2.47 amps, or 0.02Ah (also displayed). It also displays the power in watts, which in this case was 29W. This got me curious about how much power was being used at full throttle, which ended up being 24.38 amps, or 264.8w.
|The screen you start on is real time data, pressing the enter key will give you three additional screens. It displays the same data, but as Average, Maximum, and Minimum. On the average screen, you can freeze data by pressing the mode button. On the maximum screen, the data displayed is the maximum measured (duh!) and will only update when that measurement is exceeded. The same applies to the minimum screen, only in reverse.
|Although I haven't used this feature, the instruction manual shows how you can use the PowerMatch meter inline between your battery and your charger in order to monitor the charge (or discharge). The example given shows a basic charger that has no data display, so in this respect it would be a great way to see what your battery is doing during the charge/discharge cycle. The screen used on the PowerMatch during this process is the power checker screen.
|The PowerMatch is definitely a useful tool to have with you when working with batteries. Mine has found a permanent home in my flight box, and I find myself regularly using the balance feature to balance my packs before charging while waiting for other packs to charge. It's a great all in one meter, that not only tells you the current state of your packs, but can also tell you what kind of power your model is using. There are only two small nitpicks that I have on an otherwise great device, and that is that the screen is not backlit (night flying!) and I don't see any visible reason why it couldn't have been made to handle eight cell packs. That being said, I do feel that you get a lot of bang for your buck, and I won't be heading to the flying field without it! Bringing this article back around to my preface, it became apparent to me that with the correct info provided (as it is with PowerMatch) you do not need to be an electronics genius to make the correct choices for your model!
Great Multi Function Meter
Sturdy and Compact
Wide Range of Data Available
No Backlight Would have been nice to use 8 cell packs

nice that it came with a thunderpower adapter! Some of the other brands dont...
Nice review as always Chris.
It is refreshing to see a reviewer who isn't afraid to say up front that he isn't an expert in the area and is just a typical user rather than trying to pretend to be an expert in all matters.
I would be interested to see how accurate and useful the battery checker mode is for NiXX packs. The reason being that some manufacturers have said that it is impossible to judge the charge remaining in an NiXX pack based in its voltage and correctly detecting the cell count would be critical as well. Similarly, LiFe/A123 packs can be difficult to estimate properly due to their nearly constant voltage over most of their capacity.
As for LiFe/A123, I'll always track those packs manually as I have done before, but again it will be interesting to see what the PowerMatch meter is telling me and how it compares to my estimations.
Chris, great review.
I was just telling one of my flying buddies at the field today that I needed a meter. I have a balancing charger, but it only shows percentages and I know it is wrong sometimes (0% on some cells - I think it isn't accurate under 45-50%). I'm sort of in the blind on my batteries right now, and it is time for one!
Another flying buddy gave me a Thunder Power 3s 2200 mah battery (perfect for my Sensei). The included adapter solves that problem for me!
I think I'll pull the trigger on this one.
Would that work for the NiCd's and the NiMH's and the SLA Batteries?
Yep! it has a nicad/nimh battery port on the side (standard servo plug). So if you are using big Nimh packs with different plugs, you can make an adapter quite easily. SLA...I dont think so.
So this isn't a Charger, right?? its just a power meter???
OK, were is the best place to find a good charger for NiCd's/NiMH's batteries!!

Human use energy in brains, muscles differently than chimps do
The way human brains and muscles use energy is strikingly distinct from chimpanzees' metabolism in these tissues, a finding that may explain the major differences between the two species. An analysis of glucose and other metabolic compounds in brain and muscle tissue from humans, chimpanzees, macaque monkeys and mice shows that levels of metabolic compounds are similar in each tissue type across closely related species, with two exceptions — humans' frontal cortex in the brain and human muscle tissue, researchers report May 27 in PLOS Biology. The team also found that based on weight, humans, including university basketball players, were weaker than chimpanzees and monkeys. The results suggest that early humans may have traded brute strength for endurance to fuel the growth of bigger brains.

Mold, which is a fungus, is ubiquitous in nature. There are 100,000 species of fungi across the globe, which, in addition to molds, include mushrooms, mildews and yeasts. Five hundred fungi are known pathogens, meaning that they can harm human health, according to the CDC.
Fungi cannot make their own nutrients, as plants do through photosynthesis, the CDC notes. Rather, they secrete enzymes that digest nearly anything they attach to, absorbing whatever nutrients they can. In nature, mold serves a vital purpose, aiding in the breakdown of dead branches and leaves to create new soil. In a home, though, mold is smelly, ugly –– and potentially ruinous.
Siegel Rubin said she has been fighting with her insurer to settle her flood claim so she can repair her broken home, which is now unlivable; she is staying with a friend in North Bellmore while repairs are completed. Three months after Sandy struck, she has received a $5,000 advance on the work, but nothing more.
"I'm in debt up to my eyeballs," she said. She is working with a public adjuster to help settle her claim, but she is losing patience, and hope. She applied for a Small Business Administration loan to help cover her mounting repair costs, but it could take months to receive the money, she said.
Damein Flemmings is project manager for the Queens-based Maspeth Environmental Corporation, which does mold, asbestos and lead remediation, and has been working continually in the hardest-hit areas, such as Long Beach, since Sandy struck. Flemmings said that an average mold cleanup can cost $2,000, but he has seen extensive remediation jobs run as high as $50,000.
The U.S. Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Labor have established strict regulations for cleanup of asbestos and lead, Flemmings explained, which require special certifications. But the federal government has issued no hard standards for mold cleanup, meaning that any and all contractors can call themselves mold remediation specialists.

Orchestra Releases CD as Fundraiser
Top HeadlinesDate: March 23, 2006
Contact: email@example.com
Phone: 269-471-3556
The Andrews University Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce the release of its new CD, Andrews University Symphony Orchestra, 2004-2005, the proceeds from which will help fund the orchestra's Sinfonietta 2006 Europe trip.
Under the direction of Claudio Gonzalez, the orchestra performs selections by Corelli, Handel, Haydn, Beethoven, Glazunov, and Faure. All selections are from the 2004-2005 season and were recorded in the Howard Performing Arts Center.
Initiated last September at the suggestion of senior music education major Ezra Haugabrooks, the CD took five months to produce. Haugabrooks decided that Gonzalez shouldn't have to tackle all the trip's fundraising, so he proposed that Gonzalez collect the orchestra's finest Howard Center recordings on a CD. "[The orchestra members] enjoyed the repertoire and the performances in general," Haugabrooks comments, "so we were sure people would pay for it."
After the recordings had been selected, Haugabrooks, who had previously released a CD of his own performances, collaborated with Andrews graduate Sarah Spangler, a local photographer and designer, to design and edit the recording's cover.
Gonzalez, along with orchestra members, hope sales from the CD will help with the expenses for this summer's much anticipated European tour, the first international tour the orchestra has participated in.
"The Sinfonietta trip is one of the most exciting experiences that the members of our AU orchestra have ever undertaken," says Gonzalez. In addition to performing in acclaimed conservatories and concert halls from Florence, Italy to Nuremberg, Germany, orchestra members will earn credits and tour locations and landmarks of historical, cultural, and musical significance.
Andrews University Symphony Orchestra, 2004-2005 is currently on sale at the Andrews University bookstore for $12. Those who can't make it to the bookstore can secure a copy by asking any orchestra member or calling Gonzalez directly at (269) 471-3556.

Visit our special St. Patrick's Day section here
Unionists in Down have vowed to stay away from the annual St. Patrick's Day parade, due to a row over flags.
The row erupted over the use of the Irish language on a new flag which is to be presented by Down District Council during their annual March 17 celebration.
The flag contains the symbol of a bishop's mitre and crozier and has the words 'Downpatrick' on one side and the Gaelic translation, 'Dun Padraig' on the reverse.
Traditionally, Down council hands out flags with the red and white St Patrick's Cross to attendees.
In a twist of irony, the flag was designed to defuse tensions that arose from last year's parade, when a Sinn Fein councilman insisted on carrying a 10ft Irish tri-color during the carnival.
Jim Wells, DUP MLA for South Down told the Belfast Telegraph he will not attend the parade in protest over the use of Gaelic.
"I most certainly will not be attending the parade," he said.
"It is my personal protest against the adoption of Irish language on the flag. I believe this is a highly retrograde step.
"Unfortunately, by adopting this stance they are alienating moderate unionists who would have very much liked to be associated with the event."
The event has been running for 26-years and usually attracts more than 30,000 people.
"I have made it clear that I would not be going," he said. "I was there three years ago and I was happy to lead it, but with the debate over the flag and the use of Irish on it, I believe nationalists are trying to drive a wedge between the two communities.
"This is a step backwards for community relations in Downpatrick and it is extremely disappointing that it has come to this."
DUP man William Walker told the Telegraph he had "no desire to attend Saturday's festival".
Adding: "And, the way that some councilors in Down District Council are getting on, they are not doing anything to entice me to go".

Andover Author - Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps was born in 1844 and was educated at Abbot Academy. Her birth name was Mary Gray, but, after her mother died when Mary was eight, she took her mother's name, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. She published her first piece of work at age 18, and her first book, The Gates Ajar, in 1869, when she was 24. It proved to be a 19th century bestseller. She went on to author 57 books. Ms. Phelps also wrote for the Atlantic Monthly.
She wrote "The Tenth of January" for the March 1968 issue of Atlantic Monthly. In it she described the conditions that lead to the collapse of the Pemberton Mill in Lawrence on January 10, 1860.
She also challenged the prevailing idea that women were meant to lead a life of domestic pursuits. She championed a woman's right to keep her maiden name after marriage, believed that women could be financially independent, and challenged the need to wear a corset. At 44 she married Herbert Dickinson Ward, a man 17 years younger. She died in 1911 and is buried in Newton MA.

Valverde regains Tigers closer role
The Detroit Tigers have agreed to a one-year contract with reliever Jose Valverde, who is expected back with the team Wednesday.
Article continues below ...
And manager Jim Leyland says Valverde will be Detroit's closer immediately.
Valverde was the Tigers' closer the last three years, but the team was prepared to let him leave as a free agent after he faltered during the 2012 postseason. But he never signed elsewhere, and Detroit brought him back on a minor league deal.
He pitched three scoreless innings at Class-A Lakeland, and now he's being called all the way back up to the majors.
Detroit optioned right-hander Brayan Villarreal to Triple-A Toledo, and the Tigers expect to make another move to clear space for Valverde on the 40-man roster.

Frank Georgianna celebration is Dec. 4
From left: Christopher Rock, Susan D'Autremont and Frank Georgianna in a play by Václav Havel performed by the Boulder Repertory Company in 1985. Photo courtesy P. Switzer.
Frank Georgianna didn't just love the theater. "He really lived it, for so many years," said actor Jamie Horton.
Georgianna, an actor and director for the Denver Center Theatre Company from 1985-94, died at home Nov. 22. He was 74.
He was known as a fiery personality who appeared in 36 roles and directed five plays with the DCTC, including "Orphans" in 1986 with Horton, James Lawless and Jamie Newcomb. He was the DCTC's Scrooge in its 1993 "A Christmas Carol."
He appeared on Broadway once, as a soldier in 1968's "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." He taught at the University of Colorado-Boulder and starred in the Colorado Shakespeare Festival's 1974 production of "Macbeth."
J.H. Crouch of the Shakespeare Quarterly excoriated that production, but eked out some mild praise for Georgianna:
"Frank Georgianna and Harriet Ross were youthful and personable: They portrayed the romance and sexual attraction of young lovers (who happened to be king and queen) very well."
Georgianna founded the nomadic Boulder Repertory Company with wife Ernestine in 1974, which continued through at least 1996. That company presented dozens of productions from comedy to drama "to what some would question the decency of the material," said his sister, Trisha Daly.
"Theater was Frank's true passion. His passing has left a hole in the acting community that will be a tough act to follow."
Georgianna received several awards, including the 1988 Denver Drama Critics Circle award for best director ("The Price") and an honorary "Excellence in the Arts" citation from Gov. Roy Romer in 1988.
"He liked contemporary writers like Caryl Churchill, Howard Barker, Howard Korder, John Robin Bates as well as A.R. Gurney, and then the best of the best: Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg and Anton Chekhov," said theater photographer Patricia Switzer. "He was a theater person through and through."
Georgianna was born June 28, 1935, in Boston. He moved to Monmouth, Ill., as a young boy, graduated from Monmouth High School and continued on to Denver, where he graduated from the University of Denver. He then joined the Air Force and was stationed in Roswell, N.M. and performed theater there as well. He and his wife settled into Boulder but he also performed everywhere from Cripple Creek to Sarasota, Fla.
"He was a force of nature," said Michael Noth, who co-starred with Georgianna in a 1978 production of "All My Sons" at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.
"Frank became slowly incensed by some incessant talking in the front row of the audience. Suddenly Frank turned away from me, faced out to the audience and said in his full, rich baritone, 'Well, if you'd rather listen to THEM (gesturing to the front-row culprits) than us, FINE.' And he turned, fuming, and marched off the stage, leaving me standing there with my mouth open and a very lost, sick look on my face."
Georgianna's impassioned plea before the Boulder City Council in 1996 was given some credit for the city's reversal of a stage smoking ban.
He is survived by his mother, Marie Smith of Denver; brother Bob Smith (Diane), sister Trish Daly (Pete), nephew Shane Kakavas (Cathy) and their two boys, Nicholas and Kaleb; and niece Breanna Smith.
A celebration is planned for 3-7 p.m. Dec. 4 at Georgianna's home, 2100 Andrew Alden St., in Longmont. That's near Highway 287 and Pike.

The judge in the case wrote that there were clear signs that Christmas was a good candidate for rehabilitation, saying Christmas was in treatment and, "He accepted responsibility. He apologized to the court and importantly, to his community. He showed remorse. He said he was ashamed and explained the extreme impact drugs had on his actions."
But what should be earthshaking about the case is neither the crime nor the punishment.
Related: Membertou man sentenced for drug offence
It is Mr. Christmas' life as an Aboriginal male on a reserve in Canada.
"Mr. Christmas advised that he had his first sip of beer at 4-5 years of age and was regularly stealing alcohol and drugs from his parents at age 12. There was a lot of drinking and partying in the house, leaving the children unsupervised. … The lack of supervision also left Mr. Christmas vulnerable to victimization from others in the community, which he experienced."
Also part of the judge's verdict? What Christmas has seen.
The judge wrote, "Christmas has suffered loss and experienced trauma from a young age:
"• When Mr. Christmas was 10 years old, he and friends went to a small fort they built near the Membertou ballfield. Upon arriving, they discovered the body of Mr. Christmas' cousin, who hung himself.
"• When Mr. Christmas was 11 years old, that cousin's brother shot himself in the family home on the reserve. Mr. Christmas again saw the body.
"• When Mr. Christmas was 12 years old, his uncle was charged and convicted of beating a man to death in his home, again on the reserve.
"• When Mr. Christmas was 22 years of age, Mr. Christmas' best friend was stabbed to death on the reserve.
"• When Mr. Christmas was 23 years old, another cousin hung himself in his home on the reserve. They were described as like brothers and Mr. Christmas named his child after this cousin.
"• Later that same year, in 2005, that cousin's father killed himself in the same spot.
"• Mr. Christmas attempted suicide in 2012.
"• And Mr. Christmas' partner has children with a former partner. In 2014, that former partner hung himself. Mr. Christmas found him and cut him down."
Gary Christmas is 35 years old.
The judge wrote: "It is hard to imagine another Canadian community in which this timeline would exist, other than within a First Nation."
How does anyone survive that sort of experience unscathed?
You cannot even imagine walking in his shoes. You cannot imagine your children walking in his shoes.
But you could stop for a moment and think about it, and think about what this country has to do for all of its citizens to move forward.

My friend Ben, who I'm pretty sure is not on here. I know him through a game, but through and through hes a close friend.
Something happened on a road and hes currently in the hospital in really bad shape. His roommate has been giving us(His other friends too) the updates. The doctors say he won't live.
I wanted to make this earlier, but I didn't really know..
Right now all of us are just crossing our fingers to see what happens.
(I'm not sure how much energy he'll need. Hes barely breathing even with the machine doing it for him.)

Cautious-Psychic what an amazing story you could tell us?

Size Does Matter
Posted 10 December 2008 - 12:32 PM
I believe in miracles, which, has nothing to do with religion. Sending positive energy is actually scientifically sound!
Cautious-Psychic what an amazing story you could tell us?
I had been an empthic psychic since I was 5-6. I became a medium around age 12 but after getting myself sucked in too deep of one very depressed spirits suicide I pulled way back and became strictly a cautious observer and investagator of the paranormal. In my 20's I became ill with a disease Avascular Necrosis that destroys your major joints. My knees no longer bend and my ankles are extremely painful as our my hips. I am at the end of my ability to walk. I made it almost 10 years longer then I was supposed to but it has been very painful. One night I went to bed and woke up in the morning with severe pain in my right foot. The best it feels is like having a frozen block of ice around your foot. At the worst it feels like I am being tortured with electric shocks going from my smaller toes all the way up my leg. After 10 days in the hospital on every strong pain med you can think of my insurance sent me home. I was on very high does of narcotics and a drug for nerve pain called Lyrica. After about 2 weeks on this med my husband came home and found me hard to wake, delirious and confused. He called the ambulance and at the hospital they decided that despite the fact I could account for all my medication I had an accidental overdose and they sent me home after 6 days back on everything except my pain medicine. I didn't go through withdrawal because they had treated me at the hospital with narcan that cleaned all narcotics in my system. After 3 weeks of not being able to get out of bed my pain clinic put me on Roxycontin. A very strong narcotic every 8 hours. It wasn't enough for the pain but I managed a planned trip to DisneyWorld with my husband and my son, his wife and 3 kids the 3rd week of April. I left from Florida directly to San Diego for the birth of my second grandson in the last week of April and for the bris the first week of May. It was a very busy 3 weeks but despite the pain I carried on.
The Tuesday after Mothers Day my husband got up Monday May 12 at 5:30 AM for work and as usual I woke up to help him to get off to the train and went back to bed. The next thing I remember I wake up strapped to a bed with 2 tubes in my throat. I could only see a small man sticking things in my throat through the tubes. I was in an all glass room. I honestly thought I had been abducted by aliens for about 3 minutes. I couldn't understand what was being said to me and without my glasses I couldn't see very well either. For about 2 hours I laid there I slowly realized I was in a hospital but I didn't where or how. It didn't help that the nurse taking care of me was a small Japaneese man with a very heavy accent. Finally the head nurse came in and told me where I was at and asked me if I had tried to hurt myself. Of course I hadn't but after my husband came back from calling all the family and telling them the doctors were sure I wasn't going to wake up and they were pulling the plug. He came back in the room and burst into tears seeing I was awake.
He had come home 8 days before and found me blue, barely breathing and could not feel my pulse. He had taken his first CPR course in all his 61 years less then a full week before. He started CPR on me until the paramedics got there 12 minutes later. They continued CPR until I was placed on the respirator and my heart was shocked several times to get into a good rythem. Every test they did did not show what the problem was as the tests before during the last episode before. After 3 days they sent me home on all my same drugs as I had been. Being a nurse I got on my computer and researched for 4 days. I finally found on the drug site for the Lyrica that it shouls never ever be given with several drugs I had been on for several years. At least 8 different doctors including my husband's nephew who is an MD saw the chart and I had to find out what was going on and after stopping the Lyrica I could get back on pain medicine that got me back out of bed. I remember nothing while in a coma. I felt nothing, heard nothing...even at the brink of death as I was when my husband found me I remember nothing. Now maybe I wasn't as close to death as the doctors thought but my EEG showed several near death signs, I had no pulse and no actual resperations. I saw no light, no tunnel. There was no one waiting to greet me. Maybe they knew I wasn't coming or I have no one wishing to take across or maybe there is nothing there at all. I don't know but what I do know is I never felt afaid either. I was and still am in a great deal of physical pain and for about 2 weeks if anything I was angry I was awake. I would have gladly just slipped away again but I saw how devastated my family was and decided to make an effort to live and get back some quality of life. That is why I revisited my power and gift. I am again reaching out to the spirits that reached out to me before I closed myself down and am now trying to restart a group outside Chicago in the far western suburbs closer to Aurora.
I really do owe my life to my to my husband with whom I have rediscovered what love is all about. I also have lost any fear about death and of any spirit. I have never felt a spirit was a demon or that demonic evil exists and I feel even calmer now. My abilities are stronger and more accurate and I can feel more activity then I did before. Could this be my imagination working over time? Of course but I have been doing this for almost 50 years and it doesn't feel like it It just feels like a wake up call that my time is not going to be forever and now is the time to learn more and share more and teach more. So here I am in Ghostvillage. Again if anyone outside Chicago is interested in getting a group together or needs a new sensitive I wouls like to know.

The seventy-eight slide Rindfleisch power point presentation given by Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf is now available for public viewing (follow link). There can be no more speculation as to whether Scott Walker had firsthand knowledge regarding campaign activity occurring in his Milwaukee County Executive office. There was, and he did. Walker's private campaign email address appears on numerous slides, and the campaign/county staff were one in the same. Significant questions remain.
Does the Milwaukee County DA have the goods on Walker? Or is this part of a coordinated chess match to "flush out" Walker for the Feds? Will the indictment come from Milwaukee County or another law enforcement agency? If this revelation came out in the Rindfleisch sentencing (she is a fairly small-time player in this network), what will come out in the Russell trial starting next month?
The one certainty in all this is that Scott Walker has continued his pattern of building an appointed, political network at the state level to carry out his policies unencumbered; and likely coordinate with his campaign. We already know the investigation has expanded to Madison, and Badger Democracy has previously published an email from Keith Gilkes' state email account discussing campaign assistance from a Walker supporter.
A highly placed Administration official has recently communicated information to Badger Democracy which confirms Walker's pattern of crony appointments and corruption continues in Madison. As additional information is disclosed, additional blogs will be posted. Of specific importance are recent events at one of Walker's newly reorganized agencies – Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS – formerly Regulation and Licensing). All information has been confirmed through independent inquiry.
The Walker Administration has replaced all Division Administration heads at DSPS with political appointees. The last non-appointee left on April 12, 2012. Former DSPS HR head Martha Zydowski retired from her $90,000/year + job earlier this year. Shortly after her "retirement" she was rehired at a part-time job working 3 days a week, earning $67,000/year. She is assigned to working "special projects."
Only two raises have been awarded since 1/1/11 for full-time exempt employees. One was to Angela Herl, who is married to Dane County GOP chairman Mike Herl. The other was to Kathy Sotak, who was promoted to a Bureau Director. Just months after her promotion, she resigned. State records show Sotak formed "Sotak Solutions LLC" in 2010 – while working for the state. Sotak's LinkedIn profile claims to have worked at Sotak Solutions since 1999. Her business specialty:
Chemical management and industrial hygiene, risk management, safety, training programs
This is identical to the work she was performing at her state job. Badger Democracy found state Vendornet records showing Sotak as a state subcontractor in 2007 (Kathy Sotak as Safety Consultant 2004-2007). It is apparent that Sotak has spent her time in state government coordinating subcontract opportunities for her own LLC. The revolving door of state government at work.
Further cronyism exists in the appointment of Bill Wendle as Assistant Secretary of DSPS. Wendl is the former CEO of the Wisconsin Builder's Association (WBA); one of Walker's largest donors, supporters, and lobby for Scott Walker's policy agenda. According to Badger Democracy's source, through Wendle, WBA "bought the codes." Wendle is said to be planning to write and update the new building codes, favorable to WBA interests "after the committee hearings" are held. Current code updates are said to be receiving "little to no oversight" due to "lack of manpower." Building Code review is 6 months behind any updating activity.
Secrecy and Corruption
Badger Democracy has received information that a private Gmail network has been set up in more than one Administration Agency – including DSPS. There is also an initiative being pushed to eliminate the IT support at DSPS and transition all IT/Email to DOA. This would place control of IT at DSPS into the hands of DOA. Noteworthy is the private email account which Kelly Rindfleisch conducted her illegal campaign work on was a Gmail account. Also, greater opportunity for corruption exists now that DSPS is led by political appointees of Scott Walker.
As with WEDC, it is apparent that DSPS is now in disarray, sacrificing effective administration for cronyism and secrecy. Badger Democracy will have more information in future posts.
While the John Doe investigation continues to roll on, it is unclear what the next move for the Milwaukee County DA will be. We now have confirmation that Scott Walker had direct knowledge of campaign work happening in his County executive office. We also know that Walker has continued this at least immoral, possibly illegal activity in Madison.
It is also known that Walker is also being investigated at the Federal level. Of that, we have heard nothing…yet.
Help keep independent journalism alive!

Current Law Students / Re: Alito calls USNWR rankings an "abomination"« on: June 15, 2014, 12:11:03 PM »
We definitely need to do away with the US News & World Report rankings. Even if new ones pop up, so be it. But the current rankings have way too much influence over our profession. It's ridiculous actually.Something like Above The Law rankings may suffice. I think these rankings really need to be entirely based on employment outcomes and debt to income ratio over ten years. At the end of the day, you're going to law school to get a job and for the most part, you really chart the course of your career after your first lawyer job.

Chair Thompson expressed gratitude for everyone's participation in the workshop. She stated that the board was in its fifth year and now was the time to discuss the board's structure -- committee structure, consent agenda and annual goals.
Chair Thompson said that the workshop would also provide an update on Athletics' budget, reflecting the transition to NCAA Division I. She also said that the workshop would provide clarification on the board's role in governmental affairs.
President Delaney stated that there was a continued effort to monitor athletes' GPAs, SAT scores, and graduation rates.
President Delaney stated that the faculty union contract was still pending approval and mediation was set for mid-December.
Assistant Director of Athletics, Ms. Kathy Klein spoke about the many differences between Division I and II compliance rules. She stated that the Athletics Department had committed resources to monitor these rules.
UNF's Compliance Officer, Ms. Michelle Bronner spoke to the board, outlining their role in compliance. She stated that each trustee represented UNF in a two-fold manner – primarily as a liaison to prospective athletes and secondarily as a governing body for institutional policy relating to student athletes. She clarified that the NCAA required any policies applicable to student athletes also be applicable to all students.
Ms. Bronner stated that the trustees were representatives of Athletics' interest. She asked that trustees explore compliance issues prior to public speaking engagements on related matters. Ms. Bronner provided the trustees with a list of do's and don'ts and referred them to the UNF website for updates.
Vice President Shuman presented an overview of Athletics' budget, representative of the first semester of transition. She stated that the new projections for credit hours were 364,000. This projection put the budget ahead of schedule within this category. Ticket sales for baseball and basketball would be major contributors to the budget and these sports had not yet started. Vice President Shuman stated that Athletics should be above budget on interest income and below expectancy on expenses.
President Delaney stated that the transition reflected no detrimental impact to Athletics' budget.
Director of Athletics, Dr. Richard Gropper stated that there had been a marked difference in support from the community since the announcement was made to move to Division I. He stated that the three-year campaign goal was to raise $5 million in scholarship funding and that currently there was $1.3 million available for scholarship funding.
Chair Thompson asked for documents representing a comprehensive budget plan, including campaign funds, institutional funds and projected expenses.
Vice President Owen discussed the current issues at the Board of Governors and current legislative initiatives. When the issue of community college baccalaureate degrees came up, Chair Thompson requested that time for further discussion be provided at a future meeting.
Chair Thompson stated that the board was considering a change in the committee structure by adding an Executive Committee and a Compensation Committee. She also stated that the board was considering the use of a consent agenda for full board meetings. Each of these considerations would be taken through the current committee structure and the forwarded to the full board.
Trustee Taylor stated that he supported each of these considerations and President Delaney stated that these considerations would allow the board to consider larger strategic issues.
Chair Thompson stated that the committee structure and meeting dates would be addressed at the next workshop, currently scheduled for February.
Chair Thompson stated that the university and board should broaden perspectives to include JCCI and the Mayor's Blueprint for Prosperity – raise salaries for lower income families, and community needs and aspirations. She stated that academic facilities should mesh with community needs to accomplish this plan.
Chair Thompson stated that the board should revisit the direction of the university regarding whether to broaden its research capacity. She stated that this should be further researched.
President Delaney stated that he was trying to move toward measurable goals regarding his 11-point plan.
Trustee Halverson stated that these annual goals would deter outside entities from setting policy for higher education. He referred to JCCI's current report, stating that it did not represent higher education positively. Higher education was in a better position to develop a set of policies and needed to take that agenda firmly in hand. The board needed to know where UNF was headed and why. He stated that the board had a fiduciary responsibility to perceive community needs, educate the Governor on these needs and inform him on UNF's path to provide these needs. Chair Thompson stated that UNF and the board needed to have more input into the education portion of JCCI's Blueprint for Prosperity program.
Chair Thompson concluded by stating that the annual goals were very well articulated and that this was an evolving process and could be modified.
Chair Thompson thanked everyone for their participation in a successful workshop and reminded the trustees of the upcoming meetings.

In this article, I will focus on creating networked based application using RFCOMM. The first section will be about the whys and wherefores of RFCOMM. In the second, third, and fourth sections, I will enumerate the steps necessary to create a client-server based application using RFCOMM. In the last section, a single-threaded server will be developed that uses RFCOMM to provide a file transfer service. That's the outline for this discussion.
RFCOMM: The Whys and Wherefores
The term or abbreviation RFCOMM comes from the term "radio frequency" or RF. RFCOMM involves emulation of serial port communication using radio frequency, hence the name RFCOMM. The serial port emulated by RFCOMM is RS-232 which has 9 circuits. RFCOMM uses the baseband of Bluetooth to provide reliable and in-sequence delivery of a data stream. The main attributes of RFCOMM are:
- It provides multiple concurrent connections. It does this by relying on L2CAP. L2CAP can handle multiplexing over a single connection.
- It supports flow control on separate and individual channels.
- It does not provide error control. The assumption that RFCOMM makes is L2CAP provides an error-free channel.
- How devices should communicate using RFCOMM is decided by the Serial Port Profile (SPP), which is one of the Bluetooth profiles.
RFCOMM divides devices into two major classes. They are Type I and Type II. The division is based on whether the port is physically present or emulated. I explain the details below.
Type I devices have emulated serial ports. Emulated ports are entities used to map system-specific services and their API to the RFCOMM services. Therefore, whenever applications are built for RFCOMM, Type I devices are used. In other words, Type I devices enable programmers to use serial port even if there is no physical serial port.
Type II devices have physical serial ports. They act as intermediate devices. In other words, they are proxies for relaying transmissions from RFCOMM to an external RS-232 interface that may be linked with other devices.
As I have said before, RFCOMM provides a client-server based paradigm. In the case of PyBluez, the client-server is based on sockets. And the steps to create them are similar to the steps that one would follow in creating TCP/IP or UDP- based sockets. The next section explains those steps. Let's get started.
{mospagebreak title=Developing Applications for RFCOMM, Step by Step}
The steps necessary to develop RFCOMM-based applications can be divided into two main sets. They are creating the server and creating the client. Each of the steps can be again divided into sub-steps. Let us take each step one at a time.
Creating the Server
RFCOMM applications are essentially Bluetooth-based services. This has to be kept in mind when developing the server. The importance of this point will become clear in the steps regarding the client. Creating the server can be further divided into following steps:
- Creating the Server Socket
- Binding to a port
- Listening for requests
- Accepting the requests
- Sending data
The steps are same as that for creating a TCP/IP-based server. However, the first and last step differs for RFCOMM. The details are as follows.
Creating the Server Socket
The first step is to create the socket that will listen for and accept incoming requests and create the connection. The sockets one would use when working with RFCOMM are Bluetooth sockets. To create a Bluetooth socket, BluetoothSocket needs to be called with the protocol to be used. In this case the protocol is RFCOMM. So, to create a socket named server_socket the statement will be:
server_socket= Bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(Bluetooth.RFCOMM)
This statement only creates a simple Bluetooth-based socket that uses RFCOMM for communication. The next three steps make it a server socket.
Binding to a Port
This is the second step to making a simple socket work as a server socket. The socket object needs to be bound to an address and a port so that it can start listening for requests. However, since the socket will be communicating over Bluetooth, an IP address is not required. PyBluez will use the address of the device on which it is running. If the device is a desktop PC, then the address will correspond to the address provided by the Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
To bind a socket object to a port, the bind() method needs to be called on the socket object. The argument passed is a tuple containing the address and the port number with which the socket has to be bound. For example, to bind a socket to a port, say 11, the statement will be
One point to keep in mind while working with RFCOMM is that RFCOMM uses ports between 1-30 only.
{mospagebreak title=Listening for requests}
Once a socket has been bound to a port, the next step is to make it listen for incoming requests. To do this, the listen() method needs to be called on the socket object. The listen() method accepts the number of requests to be kept in queue as the argument. For example, to make a socket start listening with a queue of size 3, the statement will be
Accepting the requests
Once a request is received, it has to be accepted so that communication can start. To do so, one has to call the accept() method on the socket object. The accept() method doesn't have any arguments. It returns a tuple containing the address of the client and socket object through which further communication can be accomplished. So the statement to accept a connection is
Sending/receiving data
The last step is sending and/or receiving data. If the server is on a normal PC, then sending and receiving can be done using the Python library. However, if the server is on a smart phone, for example, then the library required will be based on the OS of the smart phone. For a normal PC, one would have to call send() and recv() methods on the socket object returned by the accept() method. Both accept strings as arguments. For example, if the server wants to send a message, say, "hello", the code will be
client_socket.send("Hello from server")
That completes the server part. Next comes the client.
{mospagebreak title=Developing the Client}
The steps necessary to developing the client are almost the same as those we needed to take to develop the server. The steps are
- Create a socket
- Connect to a device
- Sending/receiving data
The first and third steps are same as that of creating the server. So only the second step needs scrutinizing. I explain the details below.
Create a socket
Just as with a server socket, to create a client socket the BluetoothSocket() method needs to be called with RFCOMM as the protocol. So, to create a socket that would connect to a server, the statement will be
client_socket= Bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(Bluetooth.RFCOMM)
Connect to a device
To connect to a server, the client needs to know the address of the server. With Bluetooth, the address will be the address of the device, which is of the form "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX". So, to connect to a server running on a device with an address of "01:23:45:67:89:AB", the connect() method needs to be called on the socket object with the port number and address of the server. For example, if the server port number is 4000 and the address is "01:23:45:67:89:AB", then the statement to connect to it is
client_sock.connect((address, port))
Sending/receiving data
At the client side too, the way to send and /or receive data is the same as that at the server side. So, to receive any data from the server, the statement would be
data = client_sockect.recv(1024)
print "received [%s]" % data
That completes the steps necessary to create a client and a server. Next, let us see how to develop a server that transfers a file using Bluetooth and RFCOMM.
{mospagebreak title=RFCOMM in the Real World}
The server will service only one client at a time. It is neither multithreaded nor multi-process based. Let us start. First comes the imports.
from bluetooth import *
Then comes the class that will contain the server functionalities. Its constructor will take the port number on which the server has to listen. It will also call the create_server function.
from bluetooth import *
class rfcomm_server:
def __init__(self,port):
Next is the create_server method that will create a RFCOMM-based socket and make it listen on the passed port. It then calls the start_server method.
from bluetooth import *
class rfcomm_server:
def __init__(self,port):
def create_server(self):
Next is the start_server method. This method makes the server listen on the port and then starts the connection. After that it asks the user for the file and and then transfers it.
from bluetooth import *
class rfcomm_server:
def __init__(self,port):
def create_server(self):
def start_server(self):
while true:
self.client_socket.send("Enter the file name")
file_name= self.client_socket.recv(2048)
if file_name is not None:
for data in transfer_data:
self.client_socket.send("Transfer complete")
Next, let us start the server. To do that we first need to check whether the main function is being executed. If it is being executed, then we create the instance of the server.
from bluetooth import *
class rfcomm_server:
def __init__(self,port):
def create_server(self):
def start_server(self):
while true:
self.client_socket.send("Enter the file name")
file_name= self.client_socket.recv(2048)
if file_name is not None:
for data in transfer_data:
self.client_socket.send("Transfer complete")
if '__name__'=='__main__':
That completes the application. It also brings us to the end of this discussion. The discussion until now has not touched upon the topic of service discovery. The next article will be about service discovery. Till then…

(BLOOMINGTON) - Cops will be cycling into Bloomington today.
Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Inc. is an organization made up of active and retired police officers, law enforcement survivors, law enforcement family members and friends of law enforcement riding their bicycles around the perimeter of Indiana to raise money and awareness about the sacrifices made by Hoosier law enforcement families across the state. Funds raised from this event are used to aid surviving family members and co-workers of officers killed in the line-of-duty. Previously raised funds have been directly donated to the Indiana Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS), National COPS, Illinois COPS, The Unity Tour and Project Blue Light.
The cyclists began their ride this year on July 8 in Indianapolis. Tomorrow Friday the ride will enter the Bloomington State Police District. The riders will begin tomorrow traveling west on S.R. 62 to S.R. 256 where they will go through Austin to S.R. 39. They will then travel north on S.R. 39 to U.S. 50 in Brownstown. They will proceed west on U.S. 50 where they will leave the Versailles District at the Jackson/Lawrence County line bound for Bloomington. Saturday, July 20th, the Ride will go from Bloomington to Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University, then to Crown Hill Cemetery, Heroes Section.
For those traveling in these areas PLEASE use extreme caution as there will be several riders and emergency vehicles with the group. To see the route the cyclists will follow, please visit their website:
http://www.copscycling4survivors.org/route.html. Additional information on specific locations of meals and overnights can be found by clicking on the Calendar tab of the website.
This year the cyclists are recognizing the sacrifices made by Lake County Corrections Officer Britney Meux and Indiana Department of Corrections Officer Timothy Betts. Corrections Officer Meux was killed instantly when struck while on a training run around the perimeter of the Lake County Jail. Three co-workers were also injured in the hit and run crash. She was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Lake County Sheriff's Department for three years. Officer Meux is survived by her daughter, mother, father, and four sisters. Correctional Officer Betts suffered a heart attack while escorting an unruly prisoner to the segregation unit at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. Officer Betts had served with the Indiana Department of Correction for 15 years. He is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Incorporated was granted 501(c) 3 status as a not-for-profit in late 2011, and the inaugural 13 day tour around Indiana took place in July of 2012. However, the spirit of this ride began many years before. In 2001 a group of police officers decided to support survivors by riding their bicycles from Indianapolis, Indiana to Washington, D.C. to honor officers who had been killed in the line of duty and to support their survivors.
The ride has gone through many changes over the years, but one thing has remained constant; the cyclists' dedication to honoring fallen law enforcement heroes and supporting their survivors left behind.
Two people who were integral to the success of Cops Cycling were Lt. Gary Dudley of the Indiana State Police and Retired Chief Gary Martin of the Lake County Police Department. Lt. Dudley took the organizational and emotional lead and kept the wheels rolling after the first two years riding to Washington, D.C. Wanting to do more to support survivors on a local level, Gary brought the ride home to Indiana.
Tragically, on August 22, 2006, Lt. Dudley and Chief Martin were both killed during the ride when a large box truck struck the rear of the support truck, pushing the support truck into the cyclists. Several of the cyclists who had participated in the ride for many years and were cycling the day of the crash were determined to keep Lt. Dudley and Chief Martin's memories and motivation alive. Those memories and motivation have developed into what the ride is today; Lt. Dudley's vision and legacy in supporting law enforcement survivors. To date, the cycling event has raised over $300,000 for IN Concerns of Police Survivors.
For more information on the ride please visit the Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation web-site at: http://www.copscycling4survivors.org/ or Rich Crawford, President of Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Inc. at 317-650-8961.

A new law that allows the DuPage County Board to ax a handful of its 400 units of government would have less of an impact in McHenry County if its board was likewise empowered.
Senate Bill 494, which Gov. Pat Quinn called a pilot program when he signed it Aug. 2, authorizes the DuPage County Board to eliminate 13 units of government that meet a strict set of criteria. If the same law were applied to McHenry County, the County Board realistically could eliminate four of the 140 or so public bodies that can levy property taxes, an analysis of county records shows.
They include the Lake in the Hills Sanitary District, the Crystal Lake Rural Fire District and the Greenwood and Hebron drainage districts. The drainage districts do not even levy a tax.
But supporters of paring the state's 7,000 units of government see the new bill as a baby step that could be expanded if and when state lawmakers give the power to other county boards. The law comes as a state-appointed Local Government Consolidation Commission is expected in January to issue its final report.
"I want to see what happens with [DuPage] County, using it as the experiment," said state Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, who filed the bill creating the commission and is commission chairman. "I'm all for expanding this so we can get more taxing bodies to end."
Under the pilot program, the DuPage County Board can vote to eliminate a taxing body for which it appoints a majority of its trustees, provided its boundaries are completely within the county, and it is not a fire district with full-time employees or a body created under the Water Commission Act of 1985. The County Board must cite a reason for elimination based on unnecessary or duplicate services, and voters can petition the county clerk to force the elimination to a referendum.
The sanitary district manages wastewater and pollution control services for Lake in the Hills residents, and the rural fire district exists solely to collect taxes for protection services outside Crystal Lake and does not have any employees. The drainage districts exist to maintain their respective townships' drainage canals.
Illinois has far more governments than any other state – the first runner-up, Pennsylvania, has about 4,900, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2012 Census of Governments. The main reason for this has its roots in a borrowing cap set in the 1870 Illinois Constitution, which lasted for a century before the 1970 constitution.
The 1870 constitution limited the amount of debt local governments could incur. Municipalities that reached their limits and wanted or needed to add services asked lawmakers to allow the creation of special districts that flourish today, from fire districts and the Chicago area's mass-transit boards to obscure ones such as cemetery and mosquito abatement districts. One of the proposed bodies on the DuPage County Board's chopping block is a taxing district whose sole purpose is maintaining 77 streetlights in a Naperville subdivision.
Illinois has 1,298 municipal governments, and 3,232 nonschool special districts, according to census data.
Another reason for the large number of Illinois governments lies in the state's infamous culture of corruption that has resulted in federal convictions of more than 1,800 public officials since 1976, according to a 2012 University of Illinois at Chicago study.
Simply put, Illinois' long-standing tradition of patronage – rewarding the politically faithful with government jobs and pensions – requires that government has the jobs and offices to bestow. State lawmakers – pressured by the local bodies themselves and their lobbying groups, whose dues are paid by taxpayers – have been reticent to force consolidation.
Besides being a burden on beleaguered taxpayers, the sheer number of governments makes public accountability difficult, even when an effort is made to do so.
The Northwest Herald on Friday went to the sanitary district's office and, without representing as media, requested to view minutes from the district board's most recent meeting. (The district does not have a website or post board meeting agendas or minutes online.)
The newspaper's request was politely rejected by staff, which said the request would need to go through the director, who was out for the day. Meeting minutes are public documents open to review under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
Accountability also can be hard to come by with the government whose job it is to appoint a body's governors.
One of the sanitary district's three trustees did not attend his March 27 reappointment hearing before the McHenry County Board Public Health and Human Services Committee, but the committee voted, 5-2, to recommend reappointment to another three-year term. The full County Board made it official along with appointments to other commissions on a 24-0 vote in April.
The report by Franks' consolidation commission is expected to include not only ways to consolidate governments but also to encourage those that don't to lower costs to taxpayers by sharing services and pooling resources. DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin in his push for the consolidation bill stated that 45 governments in DuPage County offer mosquito abatement services, and all but nine of them use the same vendor.
Franks' commission is not examining consolidating the state's 905 school districts, which was done by a separate state commission that released its findings last year. The Classrooms First Commission – which changed its name from the School District Realignment and Consolidation Commission – concluded that consolidation would be cost-prohibitive for many school districts, and suggested consolidating and sharing services instead.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 18, 2006) - The Lady Bucs couldn't complete the season sweep over Belmont, Saturday afternoon, as the Bruins topped ETSU, 70-50, in Curb Event Center. Belmont improves to 14-2 in the Atlantic Sun and stays one game ahead of the second-place team while ETSU fall to 11-5, after posting its lowest scoring output of the season.
The Bruins jumped out to an early five point lead in the first stanza courtesy of freshmen Jessica Bobbitt and Alysha Clark. Belmont continued to maintain control of the match-up and built up a 10-point lead by the 11:38 mark, 18-8. East Tennessee State cut that lead to five behind trips to the free-throw line by B.J. Banjo (Baltimore, Md.) and Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.). At the nine minute mark, senior Tonisha Jones, with assists coming Jenny Conkle, dropped in back-to-back triples to keep the Bruins ahead. The Lady Bucs would creep to within seven less than three minutes later but that would be their last chance in the half that they would be down by less than 10 points. BU continued to pile on the points, growing its lead to as many as 18 before ETSU's Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio) hit her only three of game with 38 seconds on the clock, bringing the score to 38-23 before the teams headed into the locker room.
The Lady Bucs came out in the second half determined to make a dent in Belmont's 15-point lead. Just under 16 minutes, ETSU's work paid off as it closed within eight points behind a strong effort by Gibson. Sophomore Brooke Sunday was sent to the charity stripe where she hit both to rebuild the Bruins' double-digit lead, 42-32. A three pointer by Banjo nine second later was not enough to spark ETSU. Frustration set in as shots rimmed in and out of the goal and soon the Lady Bucs were down by 20 with 9:38 on the clock after sophomore Brittany Myers and Bockey drained back-to-back treys. A brief rally moved ETSU to within 14 but that would be as close as they would come as Belmont closed out the contest on a 10-4 run and take the game, 70-50.
Gibson and Banjo were the Lady Bucs' leading scorers, each adding 11 points. Gibson also led the team in rebounding with a total of 13.
ETSU shot 27.3 percent from the floor, 68 percent from the free-throw line and a dismal 17.6 percent from behind the three-point arc. The Lady Bucs came away with eight steals and had no blocks.
Clark led the Bruins in scoring for the 15th time with 16 points. Sunday and Tonisha Jones also finished in double digits, adding 14 and 13 points, respectively. Clark fell one rebound short of her 14th double-double of the season with a team-high nine boards.
The Lady Bucs will play in Memorial Center for the final time this season next weekend, as they host Mercer on Feb. 23, and Stetson on Feb. 25.

Jonathan Coulton Publicly Shames Fox For Copying His Arrangement In Glee
from the social-mores dept
As some have noted, Coulton has called out Fox for apparently copying his arrangement of Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" in the TV show Glee. You can see his version here:
In the end, though, almost none of that probably matters. Because Coulton seems unlikely (we hope) to go legal here. Instead, he's just going with the public shame route -- with a simple tweet about the situation, which has set off "the internet" to help him make his case and embarrass Fox and Glee.
Internet sleuths immediately went to work on the question, creating side-by-side comparisons of the audio (which are very convincing) and even unearthing an official Fox version of the as-yet-unreleased single in the Swedish iTunes store. While the track is not currently available in the American store, gaming blog Kotaku claims that it "was available earlier and was pulled by Fox." Despite calls from Twitter and multiple media organizations, the network has yet to make a statement as of this afternoon, but, all things considered, it's looking pretty bad for Glee.Of course, as a public storm of support rises behind Coulton, it seems likely that Fox/Glee producers will step up, apologize and probably cut Coulton a check of some sort. All of that seems a lot more efficient -- and it didn't require copyright law at all. Just a bit of public shaming for a bad actor. Of course, just imagine if the situation had been reversed, and Coulton was caught making use of a News Corp.-owned song. In that case, you'd have to imagine that the cease and desist letters and lawyers would have popped up quite quickly....

I'm hoping to gather some information on mentorship.
Specifically, what does a mentorship framework look like? Is it acceptable/expected to pay for mentorship, or to work for the instruction? Should you approach artists you would love to work with or do establish artists find it annoying? Is it safe to assume you would present your portfolio and evidence of creative process?
What other information would be helpful in this process, so you don't shoot yourself in the foot?
Thanks so much for any input!

The City College of New York History Department will host a multimedia presentation November 13 to introduce "Flight to Freedom: The Mission Behind Mission US," a new and innovative educational tool for teaching history to students in grades 5-9. Pennee Bender, associate director of the American Social History Project (ASHP) at CUNY will be the speaker, 12:30 p.m. – 2 p.m., in CCNY's NAC building room 5/144.
The presentation is free and open to the public. City College is located at 138th Street and Convent Avenue, Manhattan.
Ms. Bender served as content advisor for "Mission US," an interactive web experience developed by WNET-13. Essentially a game, it allows the young players to learn about critical periods in American history by assuming the role of historical characters.
As they navigate through different stages of American historical development, players complete various tasks and objectives that determine their character's progress. The project is composed of four individual missions, two of which have already been created.
In the first, "For Crown or Colony," students play Nat Wheeler, a print apprentice in revolutionary Boston. The second installment, "Flight to Freedom," details the life of Lucy King, a teenage slave girl on a plantation just outside Lexington, Kentucky. Mission 3, tentatively titled "The Changing Life on the Plains: A Cheyenne Story," tackles the issue of Native American displacement during the latter portion of the 19th century and is scheduled for release in 2013. Mission 4, "The Streets of New York City," concerns the life of a muckraking journalist during the Progressive Era, and is slated for release in 2014.
Ms. Bender will explain how the game is played, its educational value inside the classroom, and the limitations of gaming in the American school system. She will also speak briefly about forthcoming missions.
Her talk will be followed by a question and answer session for faculty, parents and students.
Co-sponsoring the event with CCNY's History Department are the CCNY Women's Studies Program, the CCNY History Society, the CCNY Teachers of Tomorrow Club, the CCNY Fellowship Program, the Macaulay Honors College at CCNY, WNET-13, and ASHP.

FEMA gives Ansonia $70K for new generator
ANSONIA -- When Superstorm Sandy ripped through Connecticut last October, the police department's generator couldn't handle the load and lost power for about a day.
That may not happen the next time a hurricane or blizzard blows through Ansonia, thanks to a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
On Friday, Mayor James Della Volpe said FEMA's Hazardous Mitigation Grant Program awarded the city $70,000 toward a new generator. The new generator will cost about $92,000, with the city paying the remaining balance.
"During (Superstorm) Sandy, the current police generator was insufficient in meeting all the needs of the Emergency Operation Center and our disaster communications had been compromised," Della Volpe said. "The Army, through the Department of Emergency Management Homeland Security, transported a generator to address our needs."
While a new generator is in the works, state funding to pay for school security guards is not. The city's application was not approved during the initial round of funding. Della Volpe said he is hopeful that it will be funded later.
Money to pay for both the generator and school security bonds is part of a referendum question that will be voted on in November.

How should I protect my Mac?
The two most expensive kinds of damage I see are spills and drops. Even Apple's extended Applecare service doesn't cover "customer damage" so when this most common occurrence happens to you, will you be ready?
Many small spills won't get down to the fragile interior parts if you have a keyboard cover*. These are cheaper than having me open your Mac, say nothing of having to replace parts.
A laptop case may help for small drops (not setting Mac down softly), as long as it's not when it falls (falls are bad for Mac). The neoprene cases* are nice and protective, but usually are taken off when in use. The hard shell cases* are fun and colorful, but don't help much when your Mac hits the floor (nothing does).
You should also check your (or your parent's) homeowner's insurance policy to see if it covers accidental damage to laptops. Often damage is done to the logic board, which cost almost as much to replace as buying a whole new Mac. If your deductible is close to the price of a new Mac, it won't do you much good either.
An alternative if the homeowners option isn't available to you is a SquareTrade warrantee. This is typically around $160 to cover equipment up to $1200. See details at squaretrade.com, and read reviews before buying.
Next time, we'll talk about what to do immediately if a spill happens to minimize damage.
