At the top of Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams seized on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revoking the trademark of the Washington Redskins as part of the liberal crusade to force the team to change it's name: "Taking a hit. The feds go after the Redskins where it hurts the most, money from team merchandise, as the controversy over the team's name takes a surprise turn." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Introducing the later report, Williams proclaimed: "The pressure just increased on the Washington Redskins to change their team name. Starting with the fact that they may no longer have the exclusive use of their own name in the lucrative business of NFL merchandise." Correspondent Kristen Welker touted the government abuse of power as "A victory for Native Americans who say the name should go, calling it just as racist as the 'N' word."

Hillary Clinton sat down with CNN's Christiane Amanpour for a town hall interview on Tuesday, June 17 to promote her new book "Hard Choices" and was greeted with questions that tilted five to one in favor of liberal issues.
The interview focused on a variety of domestic and foreign topics but it was Amanpour's question to Clinton about racism towards President Obama that caught a lot of attention. The CNN reporter wondered "Senator Jay Rockefeller said recently and he suggested basically that some of the political opposition to President Obama could have something to do with the color of his skin. Do you agree with that? What do you think about that?" [See video below.]
In a desperate effort to tout the collapse of the Republican Party, guest host of The Last Word, Ari Melber was joined by Howard Dean and David Frum on Monday evening to discuss the lack of serious ideas coming from the right. According to the MSNBC liberals, the fearful Tea Party wants to go back to a pre-Civil War America.
The guests swapped theories on the relationship between the GOP and the Tea Party. Howard Dean used the textbook MSNBC talking point that the Tea Party is just frustrated that the people leading the country "don't look like them anymore."
While acknowledging that racism "isn't limited to Texas," a Democratic activist from the Lone Star State told guest host Michael Eric Dyson during Thursday's edition of The Ed Show on MSNBC: "We're just more out and proud with it" and "don't segregate and live apart from each other, like they do in the Northeast."
Sarah Slamen -- a party official from Fort Bend County -- made the remark while discussing the comments of two-term La Marque City Council member Connie Trube, who is under fire after an audio of her calling for removal of "those blacks off the school board" was leaked to the public.
June 13 marks twenty years since O.J., Simpson's ex wife and boyfriend were found murdered outside their condo in California, and MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid chose to use her June 12 The Reid Report program to discuss the O.J. Simpson and how in Joy-Ann Reid's words "race played into that trial."
Lisa Bloom, legal analyst for NBC News and daughter of feminist lawyer Gloria Allred, appeared with Reid and proclaimed "I have a race discrimination case going on right now. I'm sure hoping I get African-Americans on the jury. Because I don't think whites really understand the black experience here in Los Angeles." [See video below.]
Leave it to MSNBC to exploit a shooting by a pair of deranged extremists to push the notion that violence is on the rise as a racist reacting to having a black man in the Oval Office.
That's what MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell did in a segment of the Tuesday edition of her MSNBC program, asking political consultant and former Attorney General Eric Holder spokesman Matthew Miller if the shooting was in part fueled by the fact that "we have an African-American president."
In a video segment (HT Twitchy) entitled "How Low Can You Go?" on MSNBC's "Last Word," which the network's web site corrected as this post was being drafted, substitute host Ari Melber, filling in for Lawrence O'Donnell, is seen bemoaning the resignation of a Democratic legislator in Virginia. An accompanying visual originally showed a map of North Carolina. Apparent the answer to the map's captioned question — "How Low Can You Go?" — is, "further south than Virginia actually is."
The far-left network and Democrats in general are apopleptic over the sudden resignation of Demcorat Phillip P. Puckett from the State Senate, giving the GOP a 20-19 majority in that body. As a result, the Washington Post reported on Monday that Puckett's resignation caused "Democratic negotiators ... (to agree) in a closed-door meeting Monday to pass a budget without expanding health coverage to 400,000 low-income Virginians."
This past weekend at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans, attendees who voted in a straw poll gave almost 60 percent of their straws to Hispanic-American Ted Cruz (30.3 percent), who edged out African-American Ben Carson (29.4 percent), leaving all others, only one of whom broke 10 percent, in the dust.
In what should be considered embarrassing timing, LA Weekly Magazine is running a June 1 cover cartoon showing establishment and anti-establishment Republicans playing tug-of-war with an elephant in the middle. Among those pulling on the anti-establishment side is a hooded Klansman who serves as the primary puller (reproduced after the jump for fair use and discussion purposes; HT Joel B. Pollak at Breitbart via Godfather Politics):
I guess the PC sports press was hoping for a high-tech lyching of sorts, wherein Donald Sterling, the owner in limbo who is soon to be former owner of the National Basketall Association's Los Angeles Clippers, would be frog-marched out of his office and dumped onto Skid Row, never to be heard from again, for his undeniably racist remarks to his now ex-girlfriend about how he didn't want her bringing blacks to Clippers games while directing racial invective at other specific persons.
It's not working out that way. In fact, quite the opposite. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is reportedly paying $2 billion for the Clippers. That's quite a windfall for Sterling, considering that he apparently paid about $12.5 million for the team in the early 1980s and that the team was valued at about $575 million in the most recent related edition of Forbes. At Huffington Post and ESPN, Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Scoop Jackson, respectively, are almost beside themselves.
Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Josh Marshall contended Thursday that there's been a "relatively consistent pattern" of conservatives lionizing those who "hat[e] or insult...some historically or currently discriminated against group." Some of these newly minted right-wing heroes, Marshall argued, lead with their bigotry; others gain fame for "being kind of nuts" and their bigotry emerges later.
Marshall opined that Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson definitely would belong in such a group, but added that he's "on the fence" about whether Dr. Ben Carson would qualify.
In a sick way, you have to hand it to the Left. They seem to be infinitely creative in the ways they charge conservatives with racism.
Both Amanda Marcotte of Slate and Randall Balmer, writing for Politico, recently took to smearing social conservatives by highlighting a small kernel of truth in an idea that is largely inaccurate.
Melissa Harris-Perry seems to have a problem with some African-Americans making a lot of money in professional sports, apparently because some other people also make money in the process. Specifically, she seems to believe that the relationship between players in the National Basketball Association and their teams' owners is a form of slavery.
It's hard to conclude otherwise based on statements made by the MSNBC host this past Saturday. Perry introduced her segment about the Mark Cuban "controversy," wherein the owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks expressed self-preservation-related desires — which he inexplicably attributed to being personally "prejudiced" and "bigoted" — to move to the other side of the street upon seeing a "black kid in a hoodie" or "a white guy with a shaved head and lot of tattoos," by saying: "You can't really talk about (slavery) reparations and ignore the modern day wealthy Americans who own teams made up predominantly of black men and profit from their bodies and labor." In case viewers missed her take the first time, she went there again, as seen in the video which follows the jump (HT TruthRevolt via BizPac Review):

Three Tigers will be involved in instructional camps this summer.
June 6, 2012
Columbia, Mo. - Mizzou Basketball will be well represented at some of the nation's top skills academies this summer as Michael Dixon, Flip Pressey and newcomer Jordan Clarkson have been selected to participate in three of the this year's top instructional events.
Dixon and Pressey have each been tabbed as instructors at the Chris Paul Elite Point Guard (June 8-11) and Deron Williams Skills Academy (June 21-23) camps, while Clarkson, a transfer from Tulsa, has been invited to Kevin Durant's Skills Academy (June 24-26).
Few point guard tandems were more dynamic than Dixon and Pressey last season. Just a sophomore in 2011-12, Pressey led the Big 12 Conference in assists and steals, dishing a school record 223 dimes, coupled with 74 thefts. Dixon was the Big 12's top Sixth Man last season as a junior, but played "starter" minutes averaging 13.5 points and 3.3 assists, to go with 49 percent shooting from the floor.
The Chris Paul Elite Point Guard Camp is an invitation-only opportunity for the nation's top high school and collegiate guards. It will be held June 8-11 in Winston-Salem, N.C. Former Tiger Marcus Denmon participated in the event last summer and Pressey was part of the camp while in high school.
"What a great complement to these young men and their work to become the best at their positions," Head Coach Frank Haith said. "It's a great opportunity for them to get out and showcase their abilities and also communicate what they have learned with some of the game's future stars. A big part of basketball is giving back to the younger players and that keeps the future of this game very bright."
The Williams Skills Academy (June 21-23) will be held in Chicago and is for college basketball's Top 10 point guards and the Top 15-20 high school point guards.
The Durant Skills Academy (geared towards the top wings in high school and college basketball) will be held June 24-26 in Chicago and along with the Williams Skills Academy, is part of the Nike EYB Skills Academy series.

Sustained subprime writedowns cause Swiss regulator to call for tougher banking rules
BERNE – Following another announcement from UBS of further writedowns relating to the subprime crisis, the Swiss banking regulator, the Swiss Federal Banking Commission (also known by its German initials EBK), has stated that it intends to increase capital reserve requirements for investment banks once the industry has recovered from its ongoing turmoil.
At an annual news conference, Daniel Zuberbuehler, head of the SFBC, said: "We will pursue this goal as soon as the banks have overcome this crisis and have rediscovered their old levels of profitability."
The Swiss regulator already requires its banks to hold 20% more safety capital than required under the minimum standards set out in the Basel Accord. However, it will not force investment banks to adhere to tougher standards immediately, fearing this could deepen problems for Swiss banks. But Zuberbuehler says banks should maintain their capital levels above the minimum requirements and, for now, to refrain from share buybacks.

Only by my sister though. But it was so great when she started dating someone who loved anime too. Heh heh... It still makes me laugh a bit.

A new beta of AirParrot, an app that streams your Mac's display to your Apple TV 2 or Apple TV 3 over AirPlay, is now available. AirParrot 1.3 beta5 comes with 1080p support for the third-generation Apple TV, individual app mirroring, "greatly" improved mirror speed and some stability fixes. The new version uses an almost completely rewritten method for mirroring and encoding frames. This results in lower CPU usage and faster frame rates.
AirServer, an advanced AirPlay/AirTunes receiver that lets you seamlessly stream audio, videos, photos, and photo slideshows to your Mac or iOS device, has been updated to version 4.2. The new AirServer, optimized for the iPad 3, comes with improved frame rate (70+ FPS) and is said to provide no lags: according to the developers, "you can now actually play a game while looking at the big screen".
AirParrot does one simply thing – it streams your Mac's display to your Apple TV 2 over AirPlay, in real time. Although the app is still in its early stages, it already does its job pretty well. Recently updated to version 1.2, AirParrot now features audio mirroring and external monitor support. It requires Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7 and a second-generation Apple TV running firmware 4.4., no hacking/jailbreaking needed.
We are giving away 5 free licenses for AirParrot. [click to continue…]
AirPlay Mirror your Mac's screen to Apple TV with AirParrot (Update: AirParrot 1.1 with audio mirroring is out)
Just one day before Apple announced it will bring AirPlay Mirroring to Mountain Lion this summer, AirParrot, an app that does exactly the same thing ML will do – mirrors your Mac's screen to your HDTV connected to the Apple TV 2 – has been released. So if you don't want to wait six months until the new Apple's OS is released or you don't own a Mac with a second-generation Intel Core (it seems that AirPlay Mirroring in ML only works on the Macs with second-generation Intel Core, while AirParrot works fine on older macs), you can give AirParrot a try just now. And AirParrot's developers promise they will be offering "features that Mountain Lion doesn't currently have or advertise as coming."
Our polls for the "Apple TV Hacks Best of 2011 Award" closed on the 15th of February. The participation was amazing: we have received over 3000 entries. Surprisingly, the competition wasn't stiff. It looks like it was pretty easy for you to decide who should have won as aTV Flash (black) has been clearly leading the competition from the very start to the end. As a result, FireCore's flagship product won with 40 percent of the vote. XBMC for Apple TV 2 took the second place with 21 percent and the third place went to Seas0nPass with 9 percent of the vote.
Other strong candidates were IceFilms, Remote HD and nitoTV.
Apple today unveiled the developer preview of Mountain Lion, a new version of Mac OS X that includes new features like Notification Center, Messages, Game Center, Notes, Reminders and Twitter. But the coolest feature of Mountain Lion is undoubtedly AirPlay Mirroring that lets you stream what's on your Mac to your HDTV via Apple TV 2.
With AirPlay Mirroring built into Mac OS, you will be able to stream whatever is on your desktop – webpages, photos, videos, presentation – directly to your HDTV, with only one click on an AirPlay icon on the OS X menu bar.

My work deals around cross browser testing . As i cannot have different versions of Internet Explorer on the same operating system , i have different machines to facilitate the testing purpose ie.) Win 7 IE 9.0 , Win 7 IE 8.0 etc.
Note : I do not use applications like IE tester as i feel that the app cannot render an exact replication of the Browser.
Coming to the Compatibility View setting of IE 9.0 ( It simulates the page in other lower versions i.e. IE 7.0 , IE 8.0 ), would it make the Browser function exactly as the browser chosen in Compatibility view setting ?
Would it be a proper and a apt solution to having different OS instances with different IE version ? Kindly suggest .

Blogger Nuremberg Defense
We've all heard the Nuremberg Defense: "I was just following orders." Interestingly enough, courts and courts-martial do not feel this is sufficient defense against performing acts which are morally wrong.
Then there's the Yuppie Nuremberg Defense: "I just need to pay the mortgage." This is usually claimed whenever someone has to do something distasteful/unethical/wrong in order to pay the bills. See: the TSA.
I posit that there is also a Blogger Nuremberg Defense. To whit: "Hey, you knew I was an asshole when you started reading this blog." In other words, if you the reader feel that something is in poor taste, it's your fault for feeling that way. It's basically a non-apology in the guise of an apology.
Please note that this is not a call for censorship. You can say whatever the hell you want to say on your blog. I just feel that if you're going to be a douche, you should step up and own your words with a "Yeah, this is how I feel, and that's not going to change" rather than suggesting that your blog is some kind of subtle performance art and anyone who takes offense/doesn't find it funny is somehow not getting it.
Hell, I once lost readers because a good chunk of Canada couldn't take a joke (or understand satire, I'm not sure which.) Kindly note that I owned my words and didn't apologize for them.
Some people may think that I've done exactly the same thing that I'm accusing the other blogger of doing. Well, maybe so, and if that's the case I'll own that, too. I don't think that I have, but maybe I'm wrong. Whichever one it is, I stand by my opinions, and I won't apologize for them. I may apologize for the effects they cause -- Hey, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings -- but I won't ever apologize for my words unless I am proven to be factually wrong, e.g. I called you a lying shithead, and it was just proven to me that you weren't lying. I'm sorry I called you a liar. The shithead portion still stands.

For the sake of completeness/honesty, I would point out the individual you are talking about does have multiple articles published in various fairly high-level magazines, indicating that he does generate original content worthy of being paid for.
Not that this necessarily excuses what he has done in your eyes, of course.

I did not know this. All I have seen of this person is the news-scraping site. Perhaps he isn't quite as uncreative as I had first surmised.
I still stand by the rest of my accusation.

To be brutally honest, I'm the one that was butthurt by what someone else said. It just hit too close to home, and was full of "Hah hah, look at the freak" mockery.

ah, well, i suppose you told them "what for".

A narrow groove welding torch having an inexpensive rugged easily replaceable ceramic tip having a rectangular cross section with blanketing ducts disposed therein and springs which fit over hooks to hold the tip in place on the welding torch.
1. A narrow groove welding torch comprising an electrode holder having a rectangular cross-section with cooling ducts disposed within the electrode holder and a replaceable tip disposed on one end of the electrode holder, the tip having a generally rectangular cross-section, a centrally disposed opening extending through the tip with rectangular shaped counterbores on each end of the opening, blanketing gas ducts are disposed in the tip and extend from leading and trailing sides of the tip into one of the counterbores, the ducts having diffusers disposed therein adjacent one of the counterbores to supply a gentle flow of shielding gas to one of the counterbores, the other counterbore receiving the electrode holder and having insulating packing disposed therein between the electrode holder and the tip, and the tip being detachably attached to the electrode holder and being held to the electrode holder by springs which fit over hooks disposed on both the electrode holder and the replaceable tip.
2. A narrow groove welding torch as set forth in claim 1, wherein the replaceable tip is made of a ceramic material.
This invention relates to a welding torch for producing narrow groove welds and more particularly to a welding torch with a removable ceramic tip.
Ceramic tips disposed on welding torches provide excellent thermal and dielectric properties, however, they are subject to damage when they come in contact with the workpiece. Thus, they must be easily replaced and inexpensive so as to be expendable if the welding torch is to be maintained in its peak operating condition.
In general, a narrow groove welding torch, when made in accordance with this invention, comprises an electrode holder having a rectangular cross-section with cooling ducts disposed therein and a replaceable tip detachably connected to the electrode and having a generally rectangular shaped cross-section and shielding gas ducts disposed therein.
The objects and advantages of this invention will become more apparent from reading the following detail description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a welding torch made in accordance with this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the torch.
The torch 1 comprises an elongated metallic electrode holder 3 made of copper or other good conducting material and having a generally rectangular cross-section with a centrally longitudinally disposed opening 5 extending therethrough. Cooling ducts 7 are disposed adjacent the leading and trailing sides of the electrode holder 3, each duct making two passes within the electrode holder 3. Inlet and outlet nozzles 9 and 11, respectively, are disposed on the leading and trailing sides of the electrode holder 3 and are threaded to connect to a cooling water supply system, not shown. A tungsten electrode 13 is disposed in the central opening 5 and extends therethrough.
A replaceable tip 15 made of a ceramic material is detachably connected to the lower end of the electrode holder 3. The tip 15 has a generally rectangular cross-section and a centrally disposed bore 17 through which the electrode 13 passes. Both ends of the bore 17 are counterbored to form generally rectangular shaped openings 19 and 21. The upper counterbore 19 has insulating packing 22 disposed therein and is adapted to receive the electrode holder 3. Blanketing or shielding gas ducts 23 are disposed adjacent the leading and trailing sides of the tip 15 and have inlet nozzles 25 disposed on the upper side of the tip 15. The ducts 23 discharge into the counterbore 21 at the lower end of the tip 15. Diffusers 27 are disposed in the shielding or blanketing gas ducts 23 adjacent the discharge end thereof.
Latching means 29 detachably hold the tip 15 against the electrode holder 3. The latching means 29 comprises knobs or hooks 31 disposed on both the electrode holder 3 and the tip 15 and springs 33 which loop over the hooks 31 to detachably hold the tip 15 against the electrode holder 3. Pins 35 on the electrode holder and alignment holes 37 in the tip 15 cooperate to insure proper alignment of the tip 15 and electrode holder 3 when they are detachably held together.
The narrow groove welding torch hereinbefore described advantageously provides an inexpensive easily replaceable tip made of a ceramic material which will withstand high temperatures and is an electrical insulator.

Brazil curling team coming to Bismarck
The teams will be vying for a spot in the 2009 World Curling Championships.
It's one of two major curling events planned at Bismarck's VFW Sports Center next week.
The other event will be the U.S. Curling Association challenge. It will determine the four men's teams that will compete in the national championships, which will serve as the Olympic Trials.
The national qualifier is scheduled Wednesday through Sunday, and the Brazil-U.S. challenge will be Friday through Sunday.
Bismarck Capital Curling Club spokesman Jon Mielke says the U.S. Curling Association chose Bismarck for the events because it has a good reputation. He says it's "a big deal" and it's exciting.

By Rick Warren
— March 21, 2010
I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG)
Knowing the truth - that God knows everything in your life, can either be very disturbing or very comforting. It depends on your relationship to Him, whether you're trying to fool Him or not.
Have you been acting as if God is totally unaware of your life in any of these five areas?
The fact that God knows everything is a tremendous motivator for me to live a godly life. I realize that nothing in my life is in secret; nothing I face will hinder his ability to help me; nothing that is to come will catch him by surprise; nothing I fear will be too big for God's strength; and nothing I do in his name is ever done in vain.
God says, "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." (Jeremiah 29:11, MSG)
Do you ever feel tired, drained or "beat-up" and just don't know why? That's because every day you're fighting an unseen spiritual war. You can't see it, but its effects are very real. In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

Vaddio Expands ProductionVIEW Line with New HD-SDI Camera Control Console
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (April 22, 2009) â Vaddio, the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems, introduces the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI camera control console with HD-SDI and SD-SDI video switching, video mixing and automated control functionality.
âMany of the integrated robotic cameras on the market today have SDI as a native output, or offer optional HD-SDI or SD-SDI cards,â? explained Rob Sheeley, president and CEO of Vaddio. âWe developed ProductionVIEW HD-SDI for users who need a quality HD-SDI switcher with joystick camera control built into a single console.â?
Due to the increased demand of Serial Digital Interface (SDI) in live broadcast, Vaddio created the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI multi-camera control system with an integrated 6 x 2 HD/SD-SDI seamless video switcher. The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is designed to connect easily via a single coax cable for video. ProductionVIEW HD-SDI includes the 3 Gigahertz HD-SDI standard (SMPTE 424M) for 1080p video, as well as SMPTE 292M (HD-SDI at 720p or 1080i) and SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI).
The control surfaces includes a broadcast-style 3-axis Hall Effect Joystick with twist handle zoom control, as well as separate Pan, Tilt and Speed control knobs. There are six discrete auto-sensing RS-232 camera control ports and 12 camera pre-sets per camera for storing frequent shots. Because ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is a live broadcast production console, not a computer, the entire system produces only one frame of delay – a critical requirement for live production where image magnification is used.
The systemâs 6 x 2 switcher accepts any combination of input signals from HD-SDI and SD-SDI video sources, featuring both up/down conversion capabilities – the Program and Preview outputs have their own user selectable output resolutions. In addition, an external reference input is included to allow Program and Preview outputs to be connected to a house sync generator Gen Locked to another switcher or routing mixer.
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is the ideal switcher and camera control system for those applications requiring the highest quality video for live event production.
About Vaddio:
Vaddio is the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems used in the broadcasting, audio/visual and videoconferencing industry. Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, Vaddio also has operations throughout the Americas, as well as sales and support partners throughout the world.

From: The Portrait and Biographical Album of Clark and Greene Counties, Ohio, pgs 187 - 191 {1}
Subject: JACOB HENRY ZELL b 16th March 1827
.....................................................m 11th March 1852: "Miss Mary A. McKINSEY, the ceremony taking place at the bride's home in Warren Co., Ohio".
"Mrs. ZELL {Miss Mary A. McKINSEY} was born July 23, 1831, in Warren County, to Patrick and Elizabeth {BOWMAN} McKINSEY, who were natives of South Carolina and Virginia. Mr. McKINSEY was born November 3, 1805 and was brought to Warren County, this State, by his parents in 1807. He there spent the remainder of his life, and died near Waynesville on the 27th August 1863. He was a man of considerable prominence in his community, serving as Township Trustee many years, and was also Land Appraiser. To him and his good wife there was born a family of seven sons and three daughters, and one daughter died in infancy. Patrick McKINSEY departed this life in August 1863. His wife survived him nearly twelve years, her death taking place in February, 1875.
Mrs. ZELL's paternal grandfather, George McKINSEY, was born March 26, 1762, in South Carolina. The children by his first wife were named respectively, David, Mordecai, Samuel, Nehemiah, George, Abigail, Naomi, Mary and Sarah. Grandfather McKINSEY emigrated from South Carolina in 1807, and settled on three hunded acres of land near Waynesville, this State. He built up a good homestead, where he spent the remainder of his days, dying June 11, 1840. He was of Scotch-Irish ancesry, and served in the War of 1812. A number of his children settled in Indiana."
Respectfully submitted,
Lois Jennings Johnson
Descendant of George McKINSEY, b 26th March 1762, SC

On Tuesday night, the South Adams School Board approved the hiring of its new varsity girls basketball coach, Ryan Cunningham of Huntington.
Cunningham takes over the Lady Starfires basketball program, replacing Brandon Bailey, who left after just one season at the helm.
Lingenfelter Performance Engineering of Decatur is a partner with Holley Performance Products in sponsoring a drag race at the Holley LS Fest on September 9, 10, and 11 at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. LS is a type of engine in some General Motors cars.
Ken Lingengfelter, owner of LPE, says, "Holley is one of the premier General Motors aftermarket-branded parts providers and we are pleased to be a partner and to support Holley in this exciting LS event.
Adams Central will host Eastside in a football scrimmage on Friday, Aug. 12, at 6 p.m. while Bellmont will play host to Jay County and South Adams will travel to Norwell.
Admission will be $2 at Adams Central. All-sport passes will be sold at this event, it was noted by athletic officials.
Admission at Bellmont will be a food item, or $2 will the proceeds going to the St. Mark's United Methodist Food Pantry.
The Decatur City Golf Championship was held at the Cross Creek Golf Club in Decatur over the weekend with Keith Blythe and Brenda Shifferly continuing their domination of local play.
Local golf legend Shifferly notched her 16th city championship with a one-stroke victory over Missy Ainsworth while Blythe won the Men's City Division shooting a 66 and 68, a 10-under par 134 score for both days.
Normally a team that loses three seniors to division one college program would be labeled as being one going into a rebuilding year.
Don't tell that to Bellmont volleyball coach Craig Krull, however, as the veteran spike coach is optimistic about his 2011-12 team that will hit the floor in less than two weeks against Bishop Dwenger in its attempt to start its defense of the 2010 class 3A state championship title.
The Decatur Football League will conduct one final registration on Tuesday, Aug. 9, at 6 p.m. near the entrance of the Bellmont baseball field.
Registration will be for two separate divisions: the fifth and sixth grade league, and the third and fourth grade league. Fifth and sixth graders should bring cleats or sneakers to the registration in order to compete in timed drills.
Fee for fifth and sixth graders will be $40. Fee for the third and fourth grade division will be $30.
The Bellmont girls golf team split a pair of dual meets in the past two nights taking out Northrop 180-208 Tuesday night at Cross Creek Golf Course and then was narrowly downed 196-198 by Blackford on Wednesday at the Blackford Country Club.
The Bellmont Athletic Department has announced the sale of All-Sport Passes for the 2011-2012 school-year.
The passes are to be used for admission to any home, regular season, Bellmont High School athletic contest throughout the school year. The passes will go on sale starting Monday, August 8, from 8:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will be sold every weekday following at the high school office.
Bellmont varsity football coach Larry Getts noted today that his offensive coordinator is Chad Taylor and his defensive coordinator Marty Ballard, a veteran BHS assistant coach.
Also from last year's staff, Greg Koons will be co-special teams coach along with Matt Hunter. Jerry Hurst, an assistant coach and trainer last year, is back as an assistant coach and former player John Shifferly is on the Getts' staff.
Dan Boocher is freshman coordinator.
In the recent Ethel May Ladies Open Golf tourney, the Cross Creek Ladies Golf Association honored veteran Decatur Golfer Sue Kalver.
The tourney, named for Ethel May Sanmann, one of the early stalwarts for women's golf in Adams County, honors a woman golfer each year for her contribution to the sport in Decatur. The ladies association voted this year to honor Kalver.

"I cannot insert a signature from the toolbar at the top. It is greyed out...."
The signature button will always be greyed out if you haven't yet created a signature. To do this, click the blue icon top-left to bring up the menu then click Options -> Mail. Click the "Signatures" tab, then click the "New" button and setup your signature. When you're finished the Signature button should now work.

"but when I went to settings I got a different page to the one in the article."
The author of that webpage seems to be confused and is calling the Windows 8 "Mail" app on the Start screen "Windows Live Mail" - that's incorrect as WLM is the desktop application and that's what I'm assuming you're using.

Perkins: Obama Is "The Worst President This County Has Ever Had"
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 7/19/2011 3:25 pm
During American Family Radio's Today's Issues, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association argued that the country won't survive if President Obama is reelected to a second term. Perkins called Obama the "worst president this country has ever had" and Wildmon said that if Obama wins the 2012 presidential election, he will "lose faith in the American people."
Perkins: I disagree probably 80 to 90 percent of his policies, I will go on record Tim in saying I think he has been the worst president this country ever had and if he has four more years in the White House I don't know that the country can survive his attacks on the family.
Wildmon: I will lose faith in the American people if they don't have more wisdom than that.

9. The tandem solar cell of claim 6 wherein the thickness of said indium tin oxide layer is in the range 0.01 μm to 0.2 μm.
1. Technical Field
The technical field of the invention is that of solar energy converting devices wherein the energy from sunlight falling on the device is converted to electrical energy. Since the spectrum of solar energy provides photons of varying energies, a class of devices has developed in the art known as tandem solar cells wherein the sunlight passes serially through several regions of the solar cell and each separate region is tailored for efficient conversion to electrical energy of photons of a specific energy level. The tandem solar cells are usually constructed with regions of different energy gaps with a higher energy gap region adjacent to the surface through which the light enters the device and the lower energy gap regions are positioned further into the device since the lower energy photons penetrate deeper.
2. Background Art
Tandem solar cell structures have appeared in the art wherein materials of different bandgaps are used in different regions and such structures are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,179,702 and 4,017,332. Further, a tandem cell has been made up using polycrystalline semiconductor material which exhibits a higher energy gap for the upper layer and using monocrystalline semiconductor material which exhibits a lower energy gap for the lower layer. The efficiency and the circuit performance of such structures, however, have been limited heretofore in the art by the light transmission properties and the electrical properties of the structures. Moreover, in order to connect the separate solar cell regions in the tandem structure into electrical series, it is necessary to provide some means of making ohmic contact to each region, in a way which does not attenuate the light. Tunnel junctions are the most commonly suggested means for making the ohmic connection. For example, Fraas and Knechtli, in the 13th IEEE Photovoltaics Specialists Conference, page 886, show a tandem structure consisting of a p/n GaAs solar cell and a p/n Ge solar cell connected by an n+ /p+ GaAs tunnel junction.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of the relationship of the layers of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an illustration of the steps in the process of manufacture of the invention.
The solar energy converter of the invention is a tandem photovoltaic cell comprised of two photo-responsive junctions with a lower layer of a narrower bandgap crystalline material separated from a cover layer of a wider bandgap amorphous photo-responsive material by an optically transparent layer such as indium tin oxide that operates to form a rectifying contact to the crystalline material and an ohmic contact to the amorphous material.
When the structure of the invention is made of ribbon silicon overlaid with indium tin oxide which in turn is coated with plasma-deposited silicon, a high performance cell using inexpensive materials is the result.
The invention is directed to a structure wherein the two fundamental limits to the efficiency of solar cells, are reduced, i.e., the loss due to insufficient energy photons for conversion and the loss due to excess energy photons for conversion.
The tandem structure where amorphous semiconductor having a wider bandgap is placed on top of crystalline semiconductor with a lower bandgap in an electrical and optical configuration wherein the intermediate transparent conductor such as indium tin oxide serves for both electrical and optical properties provides an efficient approach to the solution of the problem, without incurring the difficulty or expense of providing a tunnel p/n junction.
In accordance with the invention it has been found that the crystalline material can be accpetably provided using the dendritic or ribbon type of material or in some cases by vapor depositing the material on a foreign substrate. The amorphous type of semiconductor material can be applied by such coating type techniques as sputtering, evaporation, plasma deposition, and low temperature vapor growth. An extremely efficient cell of the amorphous and crystalline type in accordance with the invention, can be made using the optical properties of indium tin oxide to provide an optically transparent electrical connecting layer between the crystalline substrate and the amorphous surface layer. The indium tin oxide has the property that it will form an ohmic contact with the amorphous material and will form a rectifying junction with p-type crystalline material or an ohmic contact with n-type crystalline material.
Referring to FIG. 1, a substrate 1 of crystalline p-type silicon is provided having an intermediate layer 2 of indium tin oxide which forms a photo-responsive rectifying junction 3 with the p-type crystalline material 1. Amorphous Si layer 4 is deposited on indium tin oxide layer 2. The region 5 of the amorphous Si layer 4 near the indium tin oxide layer 2 is doped n-type and the remainder 6 of the amorphous Si layer 4 is made intrinsic. Indium tin oxide layer 2 makes ohmic contact to the amorphous Si region 4 at the interface 7. A thin metal film 8 which is mostly transparent to visible light forms a photo-responsive Schottky barrier at interface 9 with the intrinsic region 6 of amorphous Si. Electrodes 10 and 11, respectively, are provided across which the output voltage appears. Anti-reflecting layer 12 is applied to minimize optical reflection loss from the surface 13.
The bottom electrode 11 may also serve as a reflective layer to reflect long wavelength light back through the silicon, enhancing the efficiency of electrical power generation.
In operation, the device of FIG. 1 has solar energy striking the surface 13 and since the amorphous material 4 has the higher energy gap the higher energy photons are absorbed within the amorphous layer 4. The lower energy photons pass through the amorphous material and are not significantly attenuated by the optical properties of the indium tin oxide 2 so that they are absorbed by the lower bandtap crystalline material 1. The electrical losses that usually occur in tandem devices are minimized by the electrical properties of the indium tin oxide that provides an ohmic contact at interface 7 to the amorphous material 5 and a rectifying junction 3 to the crystalline p-type silicon. The indium tin oxide 2 also has the property that it will form an ohmic contact to n-conductivity type silicon. This property is advantageous in that should it be desirable to provide a specific type of photo-responsive p/n junction by a technique such as diffusion in the crystalline silicon material 1, the indium tin oxide will then provide an ohmic contact to both the crystalline region 1 and the amorphous region 5.
In accordance with the invention, crystalline silicon material can be drawn by various processes into large area shapes such as ribbons, well known in the art, thereby providing fairly inexpensively a broad light receiving structure. It has been discovered that the material indium tin oxide has both optical and electrical properties for an excellent solar energy contact to silicon material. Where the crystalline silicon semiconductor material 1 is p-conductivity type, the indium tin oxide will form a rectifying junction. Where a p/n junction is already present, the indium tin oxide will form an ohmic contact with the n-conductivity type region and with the amorphous silicon. Other conducting transparent materials with properties similar to idiumtin oxide can be used in accordance with the principles of this invention. For example, tin oxide is also a transparent conductor and forms a good rectifying junction with n-type crystalline Si. Also, the photo-responsive amorphous Si device structure can be a n+ -intrinsic-p+ variety in place of the n+ -i-Schottky barrier.
The conducting transparent material has good optical properties for not attenuating photons that pass through it. The amorphous silicon has a wider bandgap than the crystalline silicon and lends itself to application by coating types of deposition processes. It has been found that amorphous silicon exhibits a bandgap of 1.6 to 2 electron volts depending on the nature of the deposition process employed, whereas crystalline silicon, whether polycrystalline or monocrystalline, exhibits a bandgap of the vicinity of 1.1 electron volts. The structure of the invention provides a device with an efficiency of the order of 7-9% per individual cell with an overall efficiency of 14-18%.
Referring to FIG. 2 a process is illustrated in top to bottom order for the fabrication of the device of FIG. 1. At the top of the figure in a first step a quantity of crystalline silicon such as ribbon silicon illustrated as 1 in FIG. 1 is provided. The ribbon silicon 1 is of p-conductivity type with a doping density in the vicinity of 1016. The second step involves placing a quantity of indium tin oxide in contact with the ribbon silicon. In this step the indium tin oxide may be applied by the inexpensive technique, for broad area application, of evaporation. The indium tin oxide evaporated to form a layer as 2 in FIG. 1 will form the rectifying junction 3 in FIG. 1. In the next step a layer of amorphous silicon 4 is then applied over the indium tin oxide layer 2. The amorphous silicon 4 contains an n-doped region 5 and an intrinsic region 6 as in FIG. 1. The properties of amorphous silicon are such that the broad area deposition technique of plasma deposition, well known in the art, will provide a satisfactory layer. The indium tin oxide layer 2 forms an ohmic contact with the amorphous silicon layer 5. In the next step a thin metal film 8 is then applied by, for example, evaporation over the light absorbing surface of the amorphous material to form the Schottky barrier 9.
In the next step the ohmic contacts 10 and 11 are applied to the metal film 8 and to the crystalline material 1 by a technique such as evaporation through a mask. Finally, an anti-reflection layer 12 such as TiO2 is spray deposited or evaporated over the metal layer 8.
It should be noted that other transparent conducting materials such as tin oxide, tin antimony oxide, cadmium stannate, or zinc oxide can be substituted for the indium tin oxide, and that a p-i-n version of the amorphous Si device can be functionally substituted for the n-i-Schottky barrier version illustrated as elements 5, 4 and 9 in FIG. 1. Other crystalline materials such as Ge, GaSb, GaInAs, or InP can be substituted for the crystalline Si. Such materials may be polycrystalline or monocrystalline. Alternately, several low cost forms of crystalline Si may be used such as ribbon silicon, thin film Si polycrystalline films on foreign substrates, or cast polycrystalline Si.
It should further be noted that the thickness of the transparent conducting layer can affect the optical properties of the tandem structure because of the differing refractive indices of the crystalline layer, the transparent conducting layer, and the amorphous Si layer. The thickness of the transparent conducting layer should be chosen to minimize optical reflectance from the interface 3 for the wavelengths of light intermediate between the amorphous Si bandgap wavelength and the crystalline material bandgap wavelength. A computer analysis is required to predict the optical effects accurately, but an approximation can be made using greater wavelength principles. To minimize reflection for wavelengths between 0.7 μm and 1.1 μm, the transparent conducting layer, with a refractive index n of around 2, should have a thickness as set forth in Equation 1.
t≈λ/4n≈0.2500 μm/2≈0.1250 μm Equation 1
where λ is wavelength and n is the refractive index, for example.
although thicknesses somewhat higher (0.2 μm) can be tolerated and thicknesses as small as 0.01 μm may be acceptable because of the optical cavity nature of the amorphous Si/transparent conducting layer/crystalline substrate sandwich.
What has been described in a technique of providing a low cost high efficiency tandem solar cell wherein crystalline material and amorphous silicon material having different bandgaps are joined by an indium tin oxide intermediate layer which operates to provide a structure with improved optical and electrical properties that can be fabricated using not only inexpensive materials but also broad area inexpensive processes.

(Photo by John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)
With Kyle Busch's recent string of bad luck, it could take a divine intervention to turn around his season. While Busch hasn't discussed quality control with the principals at Joe Gibbs Racing, he has asked Gibbs what he must "do to get better luck". "How much more I've got to pray or whatever else, but it just doesn't seem to work no matter what we've done," Busch said. "We've been really fast -- we've had fast race cars, which I've been excited about. Dave (Rogers, crew chief) and the guys have done a really nice job of putting together some good stuff. It's just stupid things keep happening. " Busch is currently 14th in the point standings, 58 points outside of the Chase Zone. His sole win of the season came at Richmond, which will host the Federated Auto Parts 400 in two weeks. Although Busch has won at the three remaining races before the Chase for the Sprint Cup, he feels that Richmond and Bristol provide hi...
