|Fernand N. "Tex" Dutile earned his A.B. from Assumption College in 1962, and his J.D. from Notre Dame in 1965, where he served as the articles editor for the law review, The Notre Dame Lawyer. Admitted to the Maine Bar in 1965, Professor Dutile practiced law in the Honors Program of the U.S. Department of Justice (1965-1966), and taught law at the Catholic University of America (1966-1971) before returning to Notre Dame, as a member of the faculty, in 1971. He became a full professor in 1976. During his tenure at Notre Dame, he has served in a number of administrative positions, including assistant dean (1976-1979), associate dean (1989-1991 and 1993-1999), and acting dean (1991-1993).

Prof. Blakey has extensively investigated the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He served as chief counsel and staff director to the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations from 1977 to 1979, and helped to draft the President John F.

Development and Commercialization of MicroStereolithography (MSLA) Technology
Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004 - $17,000
MicroStereolithography (MSLA) is a novel layer-based microfabrication technology in which three-dimensional physical parts can be selectively created directly from a computer model using photopolymer resin. The Georgia Tech Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing Institute (RPMI) recently developed an advanced MSLA machine that uses an innovative method of delivering ultraviolet light onto the desired build surface using a digital micro-mirror array device. Currently the machine is operated manually, but its speed and resolution could be improved by automation. The MSLA E-Team automated this machine and developed a business plan for a MSLA "service bureau" venture to commercialize the technology.
The MSLA E-Team targeted the growing six billion Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) industry, where two-dimensional, labor-intensive, and iterative manufacturing techniques are typical.

Meet the creator of yBall who's hoping to see his game played at the Olympics one day
10:00am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News By Jenny Awford
A DELIVERY driver and former international American football player from Bournemouth is hoping to bring his new, high-tempo sports game to the world.
Vince Golden conceived the basic idea for yBall several years ago and it is now played by Bournemouth University, Oakmead Rugby Club and several schools in Dorset.
Combining elements of basketball, handball and netball, the semi-contact sport played with a Nerf ball challenges your hand-eye coordination and sets your heart racing.
Vince, 51, who played American football for England said: "The ethos behind yBall is to get people active and to build a community with a new concept sport.
"It is a fast-paced sport, with a PA system blasting out music and an MC interacting with the crowd, so there's a great atmosphere.
"All ages can play and there are often mixed teams."
The game can played on the beach or grass on a 50m or 40m pitch depending on the ages of the players.
Two teams of eight compete against each other for an hour and each team has 10 passes to score a goal.
Vince, who currently works as a Tesco delivery driver, said: "It's a very simple game because I wanted it to have a very jersey-down feel with no marking on the pitch, so it can be played anywhere by anyone.
"One day I'd love to see it played in the Olympics, but for now I'm trying to develop the sport in Dorset and get lots of youngsters involved.
"I want to generate the heat to make a flame, to start a fire and burn the house down."

Invented by Joyent developer Ryan Dahl, Node.js -- or simply Node -- is getting endorsements from established companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo, as well as from smaller ventures. Geared to network application development, the platform is built on the Google Chrome V8 JavaScript engine and features an event-driven, nonblocking I/O model that advocates say make it ideal for data-intensive, real-time applications running across distributed devices.
[ Read InfoWorld's interview with Node.js creator Ryan Dahl, where he discusses the basics of Node.js. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter for the latest news and insights on software development. ]
Dahl even sees Node.js displacing Java on servers. "Java got very complicated, and what was really nice about JavaScript two years ago was that it was this very simple language," Dahl says. "It had strings, and it had numbers and functions, but there really wasn't all that [much] else to it." But JavaScript did have capabilities such as closures and anonymous functions, Dahl noted: "That kind of set the stage to introduce a new server paradigm that focuses on nonblocking I/0."
Big-time support for Node.js
Microsoft is backing Node.js as a development language on the company's Windows Azure cloud platform. The company offers its Windows Azure SDK for Node.js. "Over the next couple of weeks, you're going to see basically us round out all of the features of Azure to have integrated Node.js libraries," says Microsoft vice president Scott Guthrie.
In November, Yahoo introduced its Cocktails technology for Web developers, featuring Node.js, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS. Initial deliverables include Mojito, an environment-agnostic Web application framework for the client and server, and Manhattan, a hosted platform for Mojito applications. "The way we leverage Node.js in Manhattan is by having Node.js be the execution core of Manhattan," says Renaud Waldura, a senior product manager at Yahoo. Manhattan adds several high-end services not available in Node.js itself, such as security and isolation, he says.
Node.js also is catching on at lesser-known companies such as GroupDock, which provides a business application platform for HTML5 applications that can work on computers and mobile devices.

Thirsk lorry driver dies in Sheffield scaffolding accident
3:23pm Monday 10th December 2012 in News By Stuart Minting
A SCAFFOLDING delivery driver has died after being hit by falling poles.
Police said the 32-year-old man from Thirsk, North Yorkshire, had been helping unload the steel poles from a flatbed lorry when he sustained fatal injuries.
Emergency services were called to Petre Street, in Grimesthorpe, Sheffield, at 1.15pm on Thursday after a forklift truck approached the lorry.
A South Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said the lorry driver, who has not been named, had reportedly been standing on the trailer and fell backwards before the poles fell on top of him.
She said no arrests had been made and the incident was being treated as an accident.
South Yorkshire Coroner's Court is due to open an inquest into the driver's death.
The Heath and Safety Executive is investigating.

1) Tribe links
Bryan Grosnick at Beyond the Boxscore has an in depth look at the idea of Carlos Santana moving to third base, explaining the impact on his value caused by such a positional change, pointing out that the Indians are better suited to get by with bad defense at third than most teams, and concluding that it's worth running Carlos out there when the opposing pitcher is a lefty, to keep Lonnie Chisenhall from facing those guys.
Kyle Boddy of Driveline Baseball, where Indians prospect Trevor Bauer has spent some time working on his mechanics and delivery, was good enough to drop by Let's Go Tribe and post a video of Bauer working on pitches, while describing various processes. Here's the FanShot featuring the video, which (as I said in the comments) I find hypnotic.
For your further reading pleasure...
For your further reading pleasure...
2) Friday's most-notable transactions
The Royals will sign second baseman Omar Infante to a 4-year, $30 million deal (reportedly with additional incentives). That may seem like a lot of years, but I thought he'd be a pretty good signing at 3/$30M, so I view this as them just getting the fourth year for free. I think Kansas City has to be considered at least as good as the Indians for 2014, based on present rosters. Let's hope the Tribe has another move to make (something bigger than David Adams).
The Rays have re-signed first baseman James Loney to a 3-year, $21 million deal. He was worth much more than $7 million in 2013, but he;s never really had consecutive strong seasons, so I'm a little surprised to see Tampa Bay (usually pretty tight with its funds) commit to three years for him.
3) A legend weighs in on home-plate collisions
MLB is in the process of banning home-plate collisions, with the rules committee having approved the plan, and the next step being the creation of a formal rule change, which would then be sent to players for their approval. As I've already said, I'm in favor of the change, but there's been plenty of disagreement. Friday one very notable party weighed in, when Hall of Famer Johnny Bench --the greatest catcher in MLB history-- said he's "so happy that something's being done."
4) Are players peaking sooner than they used to?
Jeff Zimmerman takes a look at the aging curve for hitters, and notices that it doesn't look the way it used to, the way most fans still think if it. He examines a few different metrics, one of them being wRC+, which tends to be my go-to metric for analyzing hitting. It used to be that players struggled a bit, slowly climbing until reaching the start of their peak at ~24, then declining after 28, but in recent years players have had greater success at younger ages, but also begun to decline earlier.
5) Long-form excellence on Tom Terrific
Pat Jordan is a tremendous long-form sportswriter. A False Spring, a memoir of his experiences as a pitcher in the minor leagues (he was one of the big bonus babies of the 1960s) is one of the best baseball books I've ever read, and his work has been included in the Best Sports Writing Anthology in 7 different years. This week Jordan has a gem up at Sports on Earth (Jay, did you get to put eyes on this one before it went to press???) on Tom Seaver, one of the greatest pitchers ever. It's long, but worth the time so pour yourself a hot cup of coffee (or a heaping bowl of Lucky Charms, if your tastes run closer to my own) and give it a read.
6) Off-topic topic of the week
Speaking of terrific guys named Tom... This wekend brings Saving Mr. Banks to theaters (a few anyway, before a wider release next weekend). It's the true (ish) story of how Walt Disney convinced author P.L. Travers to allow Mary Poppins to be turned into a film. There's a good chance I'll see it, because I'm a big Tom Hanks fan. (Hanks is an Indians fan, by the way.) Hanks has sort of had two careers, with 'Philadelphia' as something of a turning point. Here are my favorites from each phase of his career (I'm not including the Toy Story franchise in there, though Hanks' voice work is great, and Woody is my favorite character in the series):
Favorite 'Phase 1' Hanks movies

5) A League of Their Own

How to Combat Cart Abandonment Through Digital Catalogs
Brands have discovered new ways to condense the path between purchase and checkout, yet many still experience high levels of cart abandonment. It is an increasing issue amongst retailers and as consumers become more and more savvy, the chances for these levels to climb higher is much greater.
The issue is not just happening with users that are adding items to their cart through product pages directly – it rings true through digital catalogs as well. While there is no one solution in particular that will eliminate all of the cart abandonment issues you're having, there are steps you can take alleviate some of the pain.
Make Checkout Button Prominent
If you have embedded your digital catalog into a page on your website, chances are your users are able to easily get to their cart even when viewing a desktop version of your catalog. The header is still accessible and the cart button is visible, making the transition from catalog to cart seamless.
However, if you're viewing a catalog on your tablet or mobile phone, the catalog experience can take up the entire screen making it more difficult for the user to access the cart. Zmags allows you to choose which feature buttons – including the cart button – you want to display within your publication viewer. By adding the cart button to your features tab, you can give your users a more accessible way to access their cart and increase checkouts all from your digital catalogs.
Offer Checkout Options After Items Are Added
Many retailers miss out on the chance to navigate their users to the checkout page right after they have added an item to their cart. Some believe this practice tends to frustrate the user, when in reality it is designed to act as a "digital associate" assisting you with your purchase.
Adding a "Checkout or Continue Shopping" option can easily be added through your eCommerce platform, which in turn can be prompted to be displayed after a user adds a product to their cart through your digital catalog.
Add A Checkout Link Within Your Catalog
If the features tab is blocking content within your catalog and you do not have ability or resources to add the "Checkout or Continue Shopping" option, you can always create a Call-To-Action (CTA) on each page of your catalog that will bring users to the checkout page. You can easily add a CTA image and link the URL to the checkout page through the Zmags Publicator tool.
You'll want to call out the option towards the beginning of your catalog so your users know where the button is and what function it serves as well. BONUS – this is also a great way to notify your users how to use your digital catalog, depending on the complexity and features within the catalog, of course.
As users become more savvy Internet purchasers, it will become more difficult to control the navigation path and drive them to where you want them to go on your site. Brands have become increasingly creative and effective with unique ways to decrease cart abandonment – What are some ways you have combated abandoned cart issues within your digital catalog?

Ceremony set at underground railroad site in NC
A site on the Outer Banks is being added to the National Park Service's Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.
A monument is scheduled for dedication Wednesday at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras to the Hotel De Afrique. The site is considered the first safe haven for runaway slaves in North Carolina.
After Union troops captured the area early in the Civil War, dozens of slaves fled there. In return for food and shelter, they helped federal forces load ships and build fortifications.
The freed slaves stayed in as many as 12 wooden buildings, one of them called the Hotel De Afrique.
The network includes sites important to the underground railway which was the system of safe houses used by slaves escaping north.

USATODAY.COM - Those wacky Angry Birds, created by Rovio Entertainment, have
already been cast into space. Now they are joining forces with the cast
of a beloved space saga.
In Angry Birds Star Wars, a
totally new edition of the game out Nov. 8 for iOS, Android and
computers, the birds and pigs alike will take on the personalities of
characters from the Star Wars saga. "They are not Angry Birds dressed up as Star Wars
characters," says Paul Southern, vice president of licensing and
consumer products marketing for Lucasfilm Ltd. "They are characters in
their own right."
For example, Red Bird will be transformed into Luke Skywalker as an X-Wing pilot in Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. "They've got personalities which are kind of similar," he says. click here to read more

The following information was released by the government of Lake County's communications department and details board member Nick Sauer's involvement in the Edgar Fellow Program.
County Board Member Nick Sauer (District 17) is one of 40 emerging leaders from Illinois selected into the 2014 Edgar Fellow Program – An executive leadership-training program that aims to develop the leaders of tomorrow so they are prepared to solve our state's future challenges. Next week, Sauer will travel to Urbana-Champaign to participate in an extensive and intense training program hosted by former Governor Jim Edgar and the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs.
Sauer said, "I'm honored to have been nominated and accepted into this distinguished program. Our state and many communities face public policy challenges – from healthcare to public safety to budget issues. I am eager to learn from other knowledgeable and experienced leaders and put those skills into practice."
Fellows are chosen from a highly competitive pool of nominees-nearly 160 of them this year.
Lake County Board Chairman Aaron Lawlor (District 18) was a 2012 Edgar Fellow. He was among those who submitted a nomination for Board Member Sauer. "This is a 'roll up your sleeves and get to work' kind of training where you interact and learn skills and techniques that truly help you become a better leader. I'm excited for Nick and I'm confident that he will get a lot out of the program," Lawlor said.
Janet L. Agnoletti, Executive Director of the Barrington Area Council of Governments also nominated Member Sauer. She said, "Nick is the type of person we need in government, someone who carefully considers the consequences of government policy on communities and people. This program will add to his skill set, and I couldn't be more pleased that Nick will be an Edgar Fellow this year."
The program, organized by IGPA's Office of Public Leadership is funded primarily by donations from a diverse group of individuals, organizations and companies interested in promoting competent and well-motivated leadership in Illinois.

Wedding list bliss for East Lancashire brides
11:31am Monday 30th September 2013 in News By Simone O'Kane
SEARCHING for that perfect wedding venue, dress, flowers, cake, and anything else on that seemingly endless bride-to-be's list can be hard work.
But now, thanks to Linzi Idle, shopping around for your perfect day has been made a whole lot easier.
The mum-of-two has launched wedding website www.thewedding page-nw.co.uk, spurred on by her experiences trying to plan her own wedding two years ago.
Linzi said that planning a wedding is often far away from the glitz and glamour of the movie The Wedding Planner that sees Jennifer Lopez, as San Francisco's most successful supplier of romance and glamour look easy.
Without a wedding planner, it is often hard work.
"When you are planning a wedding, it's usually shopping around to get the best deal," said Linzi.
"When my husband, Robert, and I got married two years ago we wanted a wedding with a real difference, just like every bride and groom, but we were also on a budget and had limited time to organise everything.
"When we started researching all the things we would need to book and buy it very soon became overwhelming and we ended up spending a lot of time and money on wedding magazines, scouring the internet and going to wedding fayres.
"It struck me that if all the information and local suppliers were together, it would be much easier," she said.
Linzi, 28, received £4,000 funding and business support to set up her enterprise from the government's Start Up Loan programme, whichhelps young people across the UK set upon their own.
Start Up Loans Company is a government backed business innovations and skills initiative delivered through the Chairmanship of former Dragons' Den star James Caan.
She now runs the business from her home in Barnoldswick and brings all the local wedding services together making it easier to shop around.
"I have also met a lot of smaller, artisan wedding suppliers who are producing some amazing cakes, clothes and gifts and we wanted to give them an inexpensive platform."

Granular cell tumors are rare soft- tissue neoplasms of neural origin. They usually occur in the head and neck region; however, up to 15% occur in the vulvar area. The tumors are usually benign; however, malignant tumors have been reported. Although uncommon, granular cell tumors should be included in the differential diagnosis of nodular vulvar lesions.
A 22-year-old white woman gravida zero presented to the office with a 4-year history of a "bump" on her vulva (Figure 1). The area was not painful, but she complained that her underwear would stick to the area. She had a history of chlamydia infection but was otherwise healthy. Testing was negative for gonorrhea, rapid plasma reagin, and HIV, and positive for chlamydia, for which she was treated with azithromycin. Punch biopsy of the area revealed a granular cell tumor.
The patient was then scheduled for surgery, and a wide local excision of the tumor was performed (Figure 2). The area healed, and she is doing well postoperatively. The pathology report confirmed the granular cell tumor.
back to top
Granular cell tumors are soft-tissue neoplasms of nerve sheath origin. The tumors may occur in children or adults but are most common in the third and fourth decade of life.1 They are also seen more often in females than males and more frequently in African Americans than Caucasians.2 The female-to-male ratio is approximately 3 to 2.3 Although they can occur anywhere on the body, more than half are found in the head and neck area, especially the tongue. The tongue is involved in 25% of cases.3
Granular cell tumors have been reported in the breast, gastrointestinal tract, cervix, lungs, parotid, penis, scrotum, peripheral nerves, skin, and vulva.4 They have also been reported in the eyelid and appendix.5 It is estimated that between 5% and 16% occur in the vulva.6 Five percent of granular cell tumors are found in the gastrointestinal tract; if they are large enough there, they may cause symptoms of pressure or obstruction.3
Granular cell tumors usually present as nontender nodules and are typically smaller than 3 cm. A nodular mass may be seen in the labium, clitoris, or mons pubis. Most of the time a solitary mass is seen, but in 10% to 15% of cases multiple tumors are noted.2 There are case reports of one patient with 26 lesions and another with 52 lesions.3 While the tumors may increase in size rapidly during pregnancy, they are generally slowgrowing and usually take years to increase by 1 cm.1 While most are asymptomatic, some symptoms may occur, including pain and pruritis.7
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of granular cell tumors includes fibroma, sebaceous cyst, cancer, or xanthogranulomatous inflammation.2 The tumor may be mistaken for squamous cell carcinoma, because more than half of cases show pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.4
Microscopically the tumor consists of irregularly clustered groups of large epitheliod- appearing cells separated by hyalinized stroma.2 The cytoplasm has a distinct granular appearance due to the accumulation of lysosomes. While most lesions are well circumscribed, about 50% show poorly defined margins.7 The tumor cells are immunoreactive for S-100 protein, myelin basic protein, and carcinoembryonic antigen. They stain with periodic acid–Schiff and Sudan black B and are resistant to diastase.3 In trichrome preparations, the tumors stain magenta.3
Treatment is with wide local excision. There can be significant risk for blood loss due to the location of the lesions, as well as scarring if there are irregular margins. Due to the rarity of granular cell tumors, having a pathologist with expertise in gynecology is preferred.
Recurrence rates are 2% to 8% in benign lesions with clear margins and 20% with positive margins.3 Malignant tumors are seen in 1% to 2% of cases and are very aggressive; they may not be diagnosed until regional or distant metastasis occurs.1-3 They may show necrosis, nuclear pleomorphism, spindling, and increased mitotic activity, or they may appear morphologically benign. The malignant tumors do not respond to radiation or chemotherapy; treatment is surgical.3 The average age of malignant granular cell tumor patients is 50.
Once diagnosed with a granular cell tumor, the patient must be counseled to follow up regularly with physical exams. She should alert her clinician if any growth recurs at the excision site or if any nodular growth develops elsewhere on the body.

BUFORD -- Every last gift was scratched off her list last week. Every cousin, aunt, niece, nephew, uncle and in-law accounted for. But last night something dawned on her, and Samantha Hart remembered one more thing she forgot to buy.
And then another thing, and another thing. Before she knew it, there was a whole new list of gifts she needed to purchase ... three days before Christmas.
"I knew it was going to come down to this," Hart huffed, standing outside the Old Navy store. "I always forget somebody's present and have to scramble. It never fails."
Like Hart, shoppers from all over the area swarmed the Mall of Georgia Thursday afternoon in search of that hard-to-find toy, that discounted pair of shoes or even a parking spot at the crowded shopping complex.
"I have never seen it this busy," said Jamie Hayes of Snellville as he circled the JCPenney lot in a minivan, eyes narrowed at the prospect of brake lights and a car backing out.
"But then again," Hayes said, "I've never waited so late to do my Christmas shopping."
Hayes likely could take a lesson from veteran last-minute holiday shoppers like Sabrina Green of Lawrenceville.
"Are you kidding?" Green asked, eyebrows raised. "This isn't that bad at all. You should have seen it last Christmas. This is nothing."
Green came out to buy gifts for her son. And what did she buy?
"I can't tell you that," she laughed. "He's old enough to read this. Wait, when's this coming out in the paper?"
Hart too declined to comment on her gifts.
"Santa Claus is taking care of my daughter's gifts," she said. "Santa needs to plan better for this next year though. He needs to get all his ducks in a row before Dec. 22."

Susan G. Komen Defunds, then Refunds Annual Support for Planned Parenthood
Thursday, February 16, 2012
With the rising costs of healthcare, many Americans turn to community health centers for important services at affordable prices. One of the nation's leading centers for women's health is Planned Parenthood, with nearly 800 health centers nationwide. Their outreach efforts help communities receive access to breast health education, breast screenings, and mammogram referrals, among other services. Their services reach disadvantaged women in underserved areas, often at whatever price the women can afford. As a result, the organization relies heavily on financial donations. Much upset occurred in the past weeks when the Susan B. Komen Foundation, a leading breast-cancer charity, announced their decision to defund grants to Planned Parenthood. Although this was determined in December, it was deferred to public announcement until Tuesday, January 31.
In a press release on the 31st, Planned Parenthood announced their disappointment in the Komen Foundation's decision, and told of the Foundation's impact over the past five years in funding, "nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams out of the more than four million clinical breast exams performed nationwide at Planned Parenthood health centers, as well as more than 6,400 mammogram referrals out of 70,000 mammogram referrals,". They portrayed this decision as the Komen foundation "succumbing to political pressure". Public support agreed with Planned Parenthood's accusation, and brought up various Komen leaders' histories and ties to anti-abortion groups. The issue gained much attention and strong public support for Planned Parenthood, which resulted in the establishment of Planned Parenthood's Breast Health Emergency Fund. The organization received nearly $3 million in donations for its breast cancer programs in the days following Komen's announcement. This strong show of support, and outcry from organizational leaders, government officials, and cancer survivors caused the Komen Foundation to rethink their decision—by Friday, February 3rd it was reversed. Nancy G. Brinker, who founded the Komen Foundation after her sister died of breast cancer, released a statement on behalf of the organization, apologizing to the American public for "recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women's lives". The Komen Foundation hopes this decision does not stigmatize their organization, or cause their values to be questioned, and they insist that it had nothing to do with politics, or their view of Planned Parenthood's role in birth control and abortion services. Some of the public may be satisfied with The Komen Foundation's reversal, but many remain questioning Komen's morals as an organization supposedly dedicated to health for all women.

Battery drain overnight? [Expired Topic]
Here's an intersting worry....
Recently, my suburban (99, 5.7, 2wd, 148k) would not start in the morning. A jump fired it right up and it would run and restart all day.
So - that night I checked for lights being left on, listened for anything running, made sure there wasn't anything plugged in to the cigarette ligter...
The next morning - same thing - battery too low to start.
I jumped it and again spend the day driving somewhat happily - but concerned.
I noticed that the voltage meter seemed to hang around 13v. Never to 14 - always less.
After the 3rd day with it not starting in the morning, I got ticked off (and it was the weekend, so I could do something about it) and went and bought a new battery (figuring that the old one had a bad cell or something).
I noticed that it started right up and the voltage meter was showing 14+v of charge just after I started it and then it came down a bit to run just right at or just under 14. (As I would expect - recharge from the cranking draw until equalized..)
It's been a little over a week now, it's started every time since the replacement and I think it was just a bad battery and is now fixed, but.....
How would you guys troubleshoot an overnight voltage drain if you suspected one?

RE: Battery drain overnight?
disconnect the negative battery cable and connect an ammeter between the post and the cable. DO NOT open the doors or tailgate, as this will blow the fuse in your meter. you should also disconnect the underhood light. The service manual will give you specs on the correct amount of current draw, but it should be less than maybe 700 milliamps once the computer has gone to sleep. even that number is high, but a vehicle with many electrical accesories that have memory will draw possibly that much current when the vehicle is off. If the draw is high, start pulling fuses one at a time until your draw goes away, then get a schematic for that circuit and start tracing.

Thanks Jack!
That's good info on the draw when off. I was thinking about those clamp-on ammeters that really don't work too well for low current apps, so it never occured to me that my meter would serve! (Been playing with AC instead of DC too long I guess...)
Yeah, I thought about the "divide and conquer" approach pulling fuses, but since the battery seems to have resovled things, I hope I'm good for now.
Thanks again!
Most any auto parts store can load test the battery. I would have them test any battery before replacing it. The test is usually free, and at least you know that the $$ you are spending for a battery aren't wasted. Of course it doesn't always mean that your electrical gremlins will be happy with just a battery replacement.
The ammeter test is the best t/s method for locating excessive current draw. I recently added a clamp on model ammeter to my toolbox, but for years I have used a Korean mfg. no name volt meter that has a 2amp max port and a 10amp max port for testing current draw. I start out in the 10amp port to prevent blowing the fuse, then switch to the 2amp port.There is no way to happiness....happiness is the way.:yipi:

I am posting on behalf of my father-in-law. He has a 98 Chevy Suburban 117k with a 7.4L (454) in it. Same exact problem as described by the original poster. We purchased one of those die hard battery chargers that has 2/10/30/50 charge cycle and it supposedly automatic. It also is able to test the alternator. First, we couldn't put a charge on the battery while it was connected to the vehicle. So what I did was disconnect both the positive and negative posts from the vehicle and connect the charger directly to the battery. The battery charged to about 90% and then stopped. Reconnected everything to the vehicle and it started like a champ. The alt charged the battery up to 100% as shown on the die hard battery charger. So then, we shut it down and measured the charge level of the battery with the vehicle off. The only thing that was on was the under hood light. The battery was loosing about 1% charge every 5 seconds which I know can't be right. It was getting late that night and my father-in-law has another car so we could wait on fixing this problem.
Now, my question is, could it still be the battery that just can't hold a charge? Now we didn't leave the battery disconnected and look at the charge level then to see if it was draining off without anything connected. This will probably be my next step in helping him. After leaving it on for ten minutes, the battery had discharged half-way down to only 50% charge...so it is no wonder he couldn't start it in the morning. The only accessory he has connected is a TBC for towing his camper and I checked all the relays and wiring and nothing appeared to be awry. There is one other thing...he stated that before he had this problem, he heard what he described as a 'relay chattering under the dash' before shutting down the vehicle...but when we charged the battery and started it up I heard no such noise.
Just trying to save a big repair bill on the old burban. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

The Bank of America Charitable Foundation is providing 25 Delaware non-profits with offering job training, education programs and support services that help connect the unemployed, underemployed, veterans, youth and people with disabilities to employment opportunities. Some of the Delaware non-profits receiving grants that support workforce development and education are:· Connections Community Support Programs, Inc. in Wilmington was awarded a grant to support the expansion of Connect to Work, a job readiness program which successfully employs those with barriers to employment, offering individuals a meaningful work experience and increasing long-term financial independence. This program will individually train 145 people, find job placement for 380 workers and foster a 95 percent increase in wages.· Communities in Schools of Delaware, Inc. in Dover received a grant for its On-Track College Access and Readiness Initiative for high school students. As part of the program, organizations provide community-based, integrated student services to help at-risk students and their schools succeed. These services, ranging from providing mentors to meeting health and counseling needs, vary by student, but are systemically linked to school-based efforts to meet the health, safety and counseling needs of at-risk youth. Ninety percent of the high school students in this program graduate to higher education access or post-secondary school training. Grants are also being awarded to Autism Delaware, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Delaware, Boys & Girls Clubs of Delaware, Challenge Program, Christina Cultural Arts Center, Delaware Adolescent Program, Delaware Council on Economic Education, Delaware Futures, Delaware State University, Delaware Technical & Community College Educational Foundation, Easter Seals Delaware & Maryland's Eastern Shore, First State Community Loan Fund, Friendship House, Goodwill Industries of Delaware & Delaware County, Jewish Family Services of Delaware, Junior Achievement of Delaware, Latin American Community Center, Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League, NPower Delaware, Teach for America, The Arc of Delaware and United Way of Delaware.These $1 million in grants in Delaware, are just a small part of the more than $22 million that the organization invested in more than 1,050 non-profits in 34 states. Earlier in the 2012, Bank of America announced almost $600,000 in grants to more Delaware non-profits to build and rehab affordable housing, offer foreclosure prevention services and homeowner counseling, and provide other services intended to revitalize neighborhoods and help working families find and keep sustainable homes.

American Pinup - "Creeper"
Artist Bio:
American Pinup emerged from the suburban sprawl and unsung underground music scene of Westchester County, New York and brought along an original brand of fierce, exuberant performance that is just as wild as it is charming. The indie/punk four-piece was pegged by AMP magazine as the "voice of the new decade" and combines elements of rockabilly, surf rock, punk, pop, folk, and ska to create a fresh alternative sound. Blending the DIY ethos of the punk scene with a reverence for the melody and simplicity intrinsic to pop music, American Pinup has carved out their own niche in the world of independent music.
About The Video:
It's a hallucinatory ride through time that blends a sultry retro vibe with a wild comic book punch. We shot it in front of a green screen to give it a patched-together campy sensibility. The visuals mimic structure of the song, weaving the black & white shots in the verses with the bright contemporary shots that explode into the chorus.

Motherkissers - "Aeons"
Artist Bio:
Motherkissers is an Italian alternative metal/hc band from Milan (Italy), formed in late 2011, with a clear idea in mind: play live, play louder and bang heads. Musical influences range from classic Deftones to Every Time I Die, jumping across a bunch of nu-metal, melodic metalcore nuances, as a perfect result of the different flavors tasted by their members Dan (Voice), John (Guitars), Teo (drums) and Api (Bass). Name "Motherkissers" reflects the relaxed and provocative personality of the four underdogs, in contrast to the stereotypical image of the genre they approach. In 2013 Motherkissers released "Lost in a paradox", EP promoted by several gigs all around Europe. In 2014 they released the debut album "Cage the water" through Memorial Records. It's a new beginning...
About The Video:
It's the story of a man who kill himself because indifference and hipocrisy also surround and drive him crazy.

Hammered Grunts - "Public Image"
Artist Bio:
Hammered Grunts was started in 2004, much to the dismay of neighbors and music snobs alike. The band consists of four friends dedicated to making music and being involved in the local Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR punk rock scene.
After quickly becoming a favorite in basements all over the Pacific Northwest because of their relentless and passionate stage presence, the band launched a summer tour in 2008 in which they terrorized the West Coast. The band capped off the year by releasing their first self-titled street punk album consisting of 15 original songs.
Following the success from their first tour and album release, Hammered Grunts teamed up with Portland's local folk-punk heroes, Rum Rebellion, and recorded a split EP displaying another 6 song onslaught of energy & angst. Together, Hammered Grunts and Rum Rebellion hit the road, sharing the summer of 2009 with fans and friends gained through previous tours and word of mouth.
As of late, Hammered Grunts has developed a more thrash influenced sound that street and skate punks alike can enjoy. Enthralled by their boisterous new sound, they released the album "Street Thrash", which includes 12 tracks of brutality layered over infectious street punk energy. Ten years later, these bratty punks still write and perform with as much passion, enthusiasm, and originality as ever before.
Hammered Grunts would like to extend thanks to all of their families, friends, and fans who have supported them through the years and for the years to come!
About The Video:
"Public Image" is a 3 minute 15 second claymation music video. The video transmits a powerful message about fame and fortune, using clay as a metaphor for how an entertainer today is cultivated and "sculpted" to become the next idol for the people. Thaddeus Thompson, director and producer, creates a world filled with sleazy agents and soulless stars that milk the fawning masses of their precious money.
The music in this video was written by Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA street-thrash band Hammered Grunts.

DII - "Little Voices"
Artist Bio:
From three time Grammy nominated (for songs co-written and co-produced) multi-Platinum recording artist Dan Spitz, who's sold upwards of 20 million albums (ANTHRAX), and had his song chosen by NASA's 2012 Rover to be played on MARS alongside only nine other artists such as FRANK SINATRA and THE BEATLES, comes a complete re invention of his musical direction once again, breaking barriers never before accomplished within any music areas. DII is Dan Spitz on Weissenborn lap slide guitar and Don Chaffin on vocals.
Dan Spitz has put down his electric guitar and reinvented himself as an artist by learning this rare Weissenborn lap slide instrument played by few, and mastered by only a handful on the planet. In quiet seclusion and secrecy kept by many helping him achieve his goals, Spitz relentlessly had to un-learn old skills, to acquire a new. He has once again achieved a non genre specific music pathway changing avenue that is unique to DII, and a new era of an emotional based musical ride that could make a woman cry or a man feel empowered to achieve. DII is one powerful musical duo.
With long time musical partner, vocalist Don Chaffin administering his soulful and heart felt lyrical avenues of execution, the listener will be instantly taken on a journey so familiar of the greatest singers of all time, yet a sound from this duo is of none present, past, or can be duplicated into the future. DII's lyrical content has the power to touch both a woman's heart, and a man's soul.
DII takes the blues base that heavy metal was derived from and transforms it to "A New Music For A New Era." Being DII is non genre specific, the duo will be playing alongside bands of any and all areas of music, from the hardest of thrash metal's best to the soulful valleys of slide guitar greats, and beyond.
DII is here to bring global awareness of Autism through music and the luxury watch arena (Dan Spitz also holds some of the highest regarded Swiss degrees in micro mechanical engineering and is a Master Watchmaker of Complications Specialist). Dan Spitz is a single father to identical twin sons who are both on the Autism spectrum and his life long goal is to help children through these avenues and enlighten the public to the word Autism. A relentless task of work ethic placed upon him and his heart to do so.
DII will be releasing a 6-song EP along with three masterpiece videos directed by Don Chaffin. A few songs have revisited Dan Spitz' past co-writing work with Anthrax to bring forth a sound in an entirely new way, and the penned originals are an emotional walk through relationship areas and everyday life's struggles and truth. The duo has also written a song that is radio friendly for the Autism community already being spoken of as Autism's anthem arrived, and brings forth Mr.Spitz' real life daily grind with his Autistic twins to the forefront of what makes this artist on a mission do what he does. He wears his heart on his sleeve for others on the spectrum and raises the bar of Autism Awareness in music once again.
About The Video:
Little Voices is a journey of the unspoken words between a parent of an Autistic child and their sibling. The love between the them that can not be put into words. It simply … IS.

Israeli Folk Dancing:
During our "Bridging the Gap" retreat, our students from the New York Metropolitan area enjoyed the thrill and experience of learning traditional Israeli folk dances. They got a chance to learn several types of traditional folk dances from Israel, as well as enjoy a whole night of dancing and fun.
The internationally renowned performance known as STOMP centers around innovative, high-energy performances, do-it-yourself themed music that is played with a variety of seemingly unseemly objects such as garbage bins, and an electrical and vibrant atmosphere. A group of Hillel students who are very passionate about Broadway and theater organized a trip to see this wonderful performance.
