A single-piece top surface display and integrated front cover for an electronic device. In one embodiment, the cover comprises a thin, flexible, transparent layer coupled with a supporting structure. The flexible layer is supported above a display screen which is coupled with pressure activated sensors located under the display screen. The cover is dust-free, waterproof, and has a flat outer surface that is free of any steps or indentations. Users input data by applying pressure on the cover which causes the display screen to deflect and activate the sensors. The pressure exerted on the sensors is triangulated to register the position of the user input. In another embodiment, the cover is transparent, rigid, and directly contacts the pressure activated sensors which are located in front of the display screen or in the housing behind it. When pressure is applied to the cover, the cover deflects and activates the sensors. In both embodiments, an accelerometer identifies valid input events.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/863,706 filed May 22, 2001; which is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/774,990 filed Jan. 30, 2001; both of the aforementioned priority applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of portable electronic devices that contain display devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices that contain a touch screen assembly that is activated by finger touch or by stylus pressure.
2. Prior Art
Advances in computer technology have enabled the further miniaturization of the components required to build computer systems. As such, new categories of computer systems have been created. One of the newer categories of computer systems is the portable, hand held, or �palmtop� computer system, also referred to as a personal digital assistant or PDA. Other examples of a portable computer system include electronic address books, electronic day planners, electronic schedulers and the like.
A palmtop computer system is a computer that is small enough to be held in the user's hand and as such is �palm-sized.� As a result, palmtops are readily carried about in the user's briefcase, purse, and in some instances, in the user's pocket. By virtue of its size, the palmtop computer, being inherently lightweight, is therefore exceptionally portable and convenient.
Flat panel resistive touch screen displays are found in numerous electronic products such as wrist watches, hand calculators, cell phones and PDA's both to present information to the user as well as to facilitate input of data such as user touch screen commands. Such displays include a resistive digitizer mechanism and a display mechanism. A typical resistive digitizer mechanism consists of a digitizing element having a flexible thin film supported slightly above the surface of another thin layer digitizing element. A pressure applied to the outer surface of the flexible film causes the film to deflect and contact the digitizing element at a point which can be measured and thereby used as an input signal to activate the digitizer mechanism.
The flexible film and the digitizing element must be mounted in a support housing to provide and maintain the proper spacing between the two. At the same time, additional protection against moisture, dust, and mechanical damage must be provided for the flexible film used in the digitizer mechanism. Thus, an additional outer protective film mounted above the digitizer flexible film is generally included in the touch screen display assembly. The problem here is the reduction in the sensitivity to the external mechanical pressure required to activate the digitizer mechanism. In addition, the added protective film may increase overall opacity which makes it more difficult to view any display element housed within.
Typically, a touch screen mechanism and a display mechanism are mounted within an enclosure in a recessed fashion. That is, the surface of the additional protective film which actually forms the outer surface of the digitizer mechanism is on a level below the outer edges of the supporting enclosure which acts as a bezel. The display is mounted beneath this digitizer mechanism. The resulting product then has a rim or step-down edge surrounding the touch screen which presents the typical bezel-like appearance.
Any applied pressure great enough to cause the digitizer film to contact the digitizing element will then activate the resistive digitizer mechanism. The display element 140 is located below the digitizer mechanism. User information is displayed on the upper surface of the display element. Together, the protective film, the digitizer film and the digitizing element must have an opacity small enough to allow viewing of the information displayed on the display element. The entire touch screen assembly is located within the support structure such that the surface of the outer protective film is below the upper edge of the support structure. There is therefore a step-down corner 150 from the upper edge of the support structure to the surface of the outer protective film and the resulting assembly exhibits a bezel like appearance. These step-down corners add thickness to the assembly, are dust and moisture collectors, are difficult to clean, and frequently do not seal properly. The electrical traces and electrodes 160, locate where the digitizer film and the digitizing element come into contact with each other. The metal frame 170, physically separates the touch screen assembly from the display element.
One problem with the bezel design is that maintaining a moisture and dust-free environment for the touch screen mechanism is difficult. Such an assembly often does not provide a satisfactory moisture and dust proof enclosure. An additional problem involves the complexity and cost of assembly. Yet another problem involves the overall thickness of the device. The bezel design adds unwanted thickness to the display components. Additionally, some designers would like to eliminate the bezel to update the appearance of the device.
Another drawback is that, because of the amount of space between the touch surface of the touch screen and display screen, there is what is commonly referred to as the parallax effect. Simply stated, the parallax effect is a type of visual spatial distortion such that the actual point of contact on the touch screen does not correspond to the intended target area of the display screen. This is analogous to a stick being immersed in water, such that the stick takes on a bent or distorted appearance.
An additional drawback is that the amount of light that comes from the display screen through the touch screen to be viewed by the user is only about 80% of the available light. In a reflective display, that amount is further reduced to about 64%. This reduces the overall contrast, clarity, and quality of the display as seen by the user.
It would be advantageous, then, to provide a flat bezel-free display interface. Such an interface would reduce the possibility of damage to electronic components from dust or water. It would also be advantageous to provide a display interface which reduces the parallax effect and passes more light from the display to the viewer The present invention provides a solution to meet the above needs.
Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention solve the problems of parallax and reduced display quality seen in today's touch screen displays. Embodiments of the present invention also eliminate the need for the bezel usually seen with touch screen displays The optical properties of the display are improved because the layers required for the conventional analog resistive touch screens are eliminated. Embodiments of the present invention enable thinner construction. They improve the optical performance of the display including power efficiency, contrast, and brightness. These and other advantages of the present invention and others not specifically recited above will be described in more detail herein.
Embodiments of the present invention include a single-piece integrated front cover and display for an electronic device. In one embodiment, the cover consists of a thin flexible transparent outer layer coupled with a supporting structure. The flexible layer is supported above a display screen which is coupled with pressure activated sensors located behind the display. The single-piece cover is dust-free, waterproof, and can have a flat outer surface that is bezel-free, e.g., it is free of any steps or indentations. Users input data by applying pressure on the cover which causes the display screen to deflect and activate pressure sensors. The pressure exerted on each sensor is measured to triangulate the position of the user input.
In another embodiment, the cover is transparent, rigid, and extends around the display to directly contact the pressure activated sensors. The sensors may be located in front of the display, behind it, or may be located in the housing. The display is coupled with the cover. When pressure is applied to the cover, the cover deflects and activates the sensors in both embodiments, an accelerometer can be used for thresholding to identify valid input events. This display minimizes the problems of parallax and reduced display brightness because the display is seen without the intervening layer of the touch screen mechanism.
Embodiments of the present invention describe a display assembly for an electronic device. The display assembly has a transparent cover above a display mechanism. Users can input data and commands by pressing on this cover. The forces from the user inputs are mechanically transmitted to pressure activated sensors. The sensors act in concert with an accelerometer to locate the position of valid input events and translate them into commands. In one embodiment of the present invention, the cover is a thin flexible outer film co-molded to a supporting structure. When the user presses on the cover, the display mechanism is deflected and the force is transmitted to the sensors. In another embodiment, the cover is rigid and in direct contact with the sensors. When the user presses on the cover, the force is directly transmitted to the sensors.
A single-piece top surface display and integrated front cover for an electronic device is described. While numerous details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, it should be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to this particular embodiment alone. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. However, it will be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present invention.
Outer film 230 is a single piece of bezel-less transparent flexible thermoplastic that covers the entire top surface of a device such as a Personal Digital Assistant. Numerous types of plastic exist which are suited for this purpose, one of which may be a PET type plastic. In the present embodiment of the invention, outer film 230 is a flat surface free of any indentations. However, in another embodiment, outer film 230 may have holes or indentations in some portion of the surface for buttons or to indicate button or other like functions. Outer film 230 is flexible in that it has sufficient deflection that a user applying force on the surface of outer film 230 will be able to apply mechanical pressure translated upon display mechanism 250. Outer film 230 is stretched over supporting structure 240.
Supporting structure 240 is, in the present embodiment of the invention, a rigid molded plastic such as PC, PCABS, or ABS and forms a perimeter frame around the top of the electrical device. Supporting structure 240 may be co-molded with outer film 230 to form a single-piece front cover assembly which may form the top surface of the device. Supporting structure 240 will also provide some method of securely attaching the front cover assembly to back cover assembly 210, thus forming a dust-proof and waterproof enclosure for the internal components of electronic device 200.
Electronic device 200 further includes a flat display mechanism 250 which is disposed between outer film 230 and above sensors 260. User display information is displayed on the top of display mechanism 250. Display mechanism 250 may be a liquid crystal display, E-ink, organic light emitting diode, field emission display, or other suitable technology used to create graphic images and alpha-numeric characters recognizable to a user. While display mechanism 250 is shown as being in contact with sensor 260 in
In one embodiment, the user will apply pressure to outer film 230 to indicate a particular position on display mechanism 250 that will input a command to device 200. The pressure sensors 260 beneath display mechanism 250 will be able to register where that position is by measuring the force exerted upon each sensor. At least three sensors may be used, and a method such as triangulation will compare the relative forces exerted and register where on display device 250 the pressure is exerted. An accelerometer (not shown) is coupled with the sensors to provide pressure thresholding to differentiate a valid input from invalid inputs that may result from, for example, dropping the device or casual contact.
Device 300 is further comprised of pressure sensors 330. These are pressure activated sensors which are able to measure a force applied to them. Front cover assembly 340 is shown in contact with pressure sensor 330. Front cover assembly 340 is made of a transparent rigid plastic that forms a single-piece top cover for device 300. It is formed to translate around display device 350 to contact pressure sensor 330. Front cover assembly 340 is attached to back cover 310 to form a dust-proof, waterproof, and shock resistant enclosure for the internal components of device 300. While front cover assembly 340 is securely attached to back cover 310, it has sufficient range of motion to allow mechanical transfer to pressure sensor 330. In this embodiment of the invention, front cover assembly 340 is a single flat surface free of any indentations, however, in another embodiment the front cover assembly may have holes or indentations for buttons or to indicate button or other like functions.
The user will apply pressure to front cover assembly 340 to indicate a particular position on display mechanism 350 that will input a command to device 300. The pressure sensor beneath 330 will be able to register where that position is by measuring the force exerted upon each sensor. At least three sensors may be used and a method such as triangulation will compare the relative forces exerted and register where on display device 350 the user is inputting a command. An accelerometer (not shown) is coupled with the sensors to provide pressure thresholding to differentiate a valid input from invalid inputs that may result from, for example, dropping the device or casual contact.
Currently, the resistive element used with touch screen displays is Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). ITO is a relatively brittle material which, overtime, will break down. It is especially likely to fail at the point where it is joined with the electrical traces 650. Because of this, digitizing element 630 is made rigid to prevent excessive flexing. It also necessitates that the touch screen assembly be as flat as possible which precludes the insertion of any in-mold decoration between the display mechanism 640 and the digitizer mechanism.
In the present invention, the touch screen assembly is eliminate because user input is detected by the pressure activated sensors. In
As described above, system 700 also contains a signal communication device 706, also coupled to bus 701. Signal communication device 706 can be a serial port (or USB port) for communicating with a cradle (not shown). In addition to device 706, wireless communication links can be established between the device 700 and a host computer system (or another portable computer system) using a Bluetooth wireless device 707 or an infrared device 708. These devices are housed on a circuit board 709 which is contained within a cover assembly.
Also included in computer system 700 of
Device 700 also includes an alphanumeric input device 711 coupled with bus 701. In the present invention, the input device 711 comprises a plurality of pressure activated sensors and an accelerometer. Device 711 can communicate information (spatial data and pressure data) and command selections to the central processor 702. Device 711 is capable of registering a position on the screen 710 where contact is made and the pressure of the contact.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention, a single-piece top surface display for a hand held computer, is thus described. While the present invention has been described in particular embodiments, it should be appreciated that the present invention should not be construed as limited by such embodiments, but rather construed according to the below claims.

What do you think would have it been better if "Yellow Submarine" album was released in "Magical Mystery Tour" format, with other songs from 1968? For example, with following tracklist:
A side:
Yellow Submarine
Only A Northern Song
All Together Now
Hey Bulldog
It's All Too Much
All You Need Is Love
B side:
Across The Universe
The Inner Light
Lady Madonna
Hey Jude
"Yellow Submarine" would have to be included, since it's title song, and "All You Need Is Love" is film's central theme. Releasing those 4 single tracks on LP would be a good marketing trick, and including "Across The Universe" would satisfy John, who was at the time so eager to release it, and fans, who would have a new classic on a new LP. John and Paul are both main authors of 4 songs, George has 3 songs, and Ringo also has a tune he sings. So it also satisfies some "criterias" of "usual" Beatles album.
Your opinion?
29 November 2012
I think they should've released the scrapped EP in mid-1969 as they'd planned (and which ended up on Mono Masters) that contained the 4 new songs from the album and Across The Universe.

Ken's Scarf day 9 -- Done!
While it was a beautiful fall day in Broomfield, I spent most of it inside.
Alright, I did take the dog to the dogpark.
But the rest of it, I spent working on Ken's Scarf.
Alright, that's not technically true.
I spent about four hours on Ken's Scarf today, but I did finish it!
Now, before everyone gets all worried about how short Ken's Scarf looks, let me explain that once a Doctor Who Scarf is knitted, it must be blocked.
So, right now, it's wet from being washed and is hanging to dry on my scarf rack.
Tomorrow it'll be a good two to three feet longer than it is now.
And it'll be exactly the right length to wrap once around the neck, and dangle to the floor on both ends.
So, the final knitting stats are:
Total knitting time: 37 hours
Barry Letts Passes Away
Barry Letts, one of the most influential producers of Doctor Who, has sadly passed away.

Ken's Scarf day 8
Today was another house-bound day.
The weather in Broomfield was pretty icky. Rainy and threatening to snow.
So, I stayed in, read a book on my iPhone and knitted, mostly.
There's a really good probability that I will finish Ken's Scarf tomorrow.
Especially if the weather continues like this.
One of my cats, Spike, has been taking an interest in Ken's Scarf lately.
So I got her to pose with today's progress.
Tonight's stats are:
Total knitting time: 33 hours
Time spent knitting today: 6 hours
Total length: 83"
Length knitted today: 13.5"

Oracle sued over $33,000 bill for SaaS: STRIPPERS as a SERVICE
Natalie Gritpants: "American Express isn't a credit card, it's a charge card and that's (one of the reasons) why lots of businesses don't accept it."
But, like Grogan, I still don't understand. If a business *does* accept it, and they charge it, surely they have *already* been paid, rather than issued some kind of IOU? Whether the card holder then repays the financial institution responsible is between them and it, rather than the original merchant?

Re: surely?
justincormack: "My computer does not need to measure the rotation of the earth. It does however need to agree what the time is with other computers for security reasons. It might also have to tell humans to do stuff at particular times, but that need not be that precise."
I'm not sure whether you are agreeing with the previous poster or not. But the key point is "agreeing with other computers". This implies a shared authoritative source of time: if not from the internet, then from GPS, and if not from GPS then one of the computers' relatively inaccurate on-board clocks will have to be considered the authorative time on that isolated network.
One of last few iPhone 5Ss STOLEN from within MASSIVE POLICE CORDON at Apple Store
"Most people here dissing iPhones seem to have never done a use case of the AVERAGE block/ette in the street (or even on the Clapham Omnibus)"
My wife uses an iPhone, and is a total fangirl. Here's a couple of recent use cases for you
(1) How do I ring this number of someone who has messaged me?
Press and hold the message. No? Oh.
(2) *looking at missed call* How come I have managed to block some caller?
Ah, let me see. *fiddles for several minute looking for list of Blocked Callers, then Googles*. Ah, you can't actually block callers on iOS6 (without an app), it's Apple-ese for Withheld Number.
Re: You know whats funny...
"You do realize you come over as sad gits gutted that the pretty girl won't go out with you yet again , don't you ??"
I suppose you think Jeremy Clarkson disses the Vauxhall Vectra because he can't afford one, rather than because he is relatively knowledgable about cars, passionately interested in them, and is opinionated enough to express a view that he has developed as a result?
Most of the people here dissing the iPhone could have bought one for cash on launch day, for goodness sake. who do you think the commentarderate are if not mostly relatively well-paid IT professionals? It is perfectly valid for you to believe the anti-Apple and anti-iPhone sentiments you see are wrong, just as people may feel about JC's opinion about the VV; but to suggest they can only originate from envy arising from inability to afford one (or the lack of foresight that they might sell out) appears to indicate a very severe lack of understanding on your part.

Cavemen innocent in MAMMOTH MURDER case: DNA evidence
fandom: "Isn't it kind of counter intuitive? They thrived when there was little food and died off when it was abundant."
If a species that is adapted to survival when food is scarce, some evolutionary compromises (for instance, slower metablolism) could easily make it less competitive when food is more abundant.
"Anyway, didn't elephants evolve from mammoths or are they only distant cousins?"
I would say close cousins might be a better analogy, but wikipedia has what seems to be a reasonable family tree here.

'Beat the lie detectors' trainer sentenced to 8 months in jail
In the UK polygraphs appear to be the reserve of reality TV shows. I was particulary amused by Jeremy Kyle using polygraphy to determine which of 7 people had stolen some money, assuring us that the "Lie Detector" was "90 to 95% accurate". I don't believe that for a moment, but even if it were, the chances of any 7 tests being accurate is less than 70% at best and could be worse than evens.
I can understand how they can be used as interogation tools, but the idea that they can be used in evidence simply smacks my gob.
Don't tell the D-G! BBC-funded study says Beeb is 'too right wing'
They would say that, wouldn't they?
I know many people who consider the BBC to be biased against their own political leanings - the leftwingers think it is right wing, and vice versa. It also seems likely to me that a person with strong political opinions is more likely to view an approximately neutral stance as further down the spectrum of bias against their own views. And for this reason, I understand that many might be suspicious about someone with an acknowledged political axe to grind creating a report, certainly I'm tempted to agree with the first poster about commissioning the Pope to write a report on atheists.
Nevertheless, evidence is evidence, and I think we need to surpress our instinctive reactions somewhat and challenge the report with further evidence rather than simply dismissing it with a 'they would say that wouldn't they" argument. In particular, the statement quoted does seem to have some basis in truth:
"On the issues of immigration and the EU in 2012, out of 806 source appearances, not one was allocated to a representative of organised labour," the study concludes. In coverage of the banking crisis "opinion was almost completely dominated by stockbrokers, investment bankers, hedge fund managers and other City voices".

Plods probe death threat tweets to MP - but WHO will rid us of terrible trolls?
There goes another word...
We all used to know what 'trolling' meant and it did not mean making threats of aggression, sexual or otherwise.
Conflating the two is a serious mistake, not entirely dissimilar to the current conflation of the issues surrounding "sexual material that children might see" with "sexual material in which children are seen": the former arises from the law of unintended consequences (of having a free and open Internet); the latter is a hideous crime already covered by existing legislation. Nevertheless, in both cases, some people attempt to use the existence of the absolutely indefensible latter as a reason to take draconian against Internet freedom, by banging on about the former as if it is somehow related.
One of the lessons in Orwell's 1984 is that by altering language it is possible to create tramlines of thought which are very difficult to leave, and therefore those who control the language control - to a large extent - the minds: threatening someone with rape is trolling; threatening someone with rape is a terrible thing; trolling is a terrible thing; trolling should be banned. Of course no-one should be convinced by such invalid enthymematic logic, but the sad fact is that many voters cannot even dissect such arguments - and if the popular media continue to refuse to help them in this regard or, as in this case, actively assist the political class in maintaining the confusion, we are all going to suffer.

Burger-rage horse dumps on McDonald's: Rider saddled with fat fine
Re: Damn horses
I completely agree that pedestrian walkways and cycle paths should not have so much horseshit on them that you cannot easily walk or cycle on them - which is what you appear to be suggesting. But it's difficult to take that seriously if you think horse shit is more offensive than dog shit - surely you can't be serious?
A person riding a horse, although they should avoid areas where droppings will cause a problem, can absolutely not be expected to clean up! What do you suggest ... get off, scoop it into a giant rucksack and get back on? A reasonable size horse drops several kg per hour, cannot safely be expected to stand quietly unless tied - and also may not be that easy to get back on if you aren't near a mounting block.
If you have a problem with the horses producing the "obstacles", have a word with the riders about taking a different route. Suggesting they poop-scoop (except within about 50m of the yard gates) is likely to fall on deaf ears, for a very good reason.

"I thought I'd better work as hard as I possibly could to get into [graduate] school," he said in an interview with HometownLife.com. "It was good advice [from an industry insider.] The Jodie Fosters and Ron Howards are few and far between. There are a lot of starving actors and it's not because they don't have talent."
Ostrum doesn't think of his acting career as necessarily related to his own talent. "Getting a part in a film, it's like the perfect storm," he admitted. "I was in the right place at the right time. Usually it's out of your control."
After earning his degree from Cornell University, Ostrum became a veterinarian in upstate New York.
"My interest and my expertise is working with dairy cattle, mainly Holsteins, some Jersey," he said. "I like the animals, yes, but it's the relationships that you build with your clients that are probably the most meaningful. You become part of their business enterprise and in many cases, a part of their family. You work with the same client time and time again. It's a trust you build up between each other that I find pretty satisfying."
Ostrum still remembers his movie career fondly and even attends screenings of the film.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A zip line that swoops riders past the vintage casinos of downtown Las Vegas and under the giant video canopy of the Fremont Street Experience is now open for business.
The lower zip lines on the $12 million SlotZilla attraction opened over the weekend after 14 months of construction.
Rides start from a 12-story tower designed like a giant slot machine. Riders can now take the 77-foot-high zip lines, which harness visitors in a sitting position and take them 850 lateral feet to a platform near the 3rd Street Stage.
A zoom line opening later this spring launches riders from 114 feet up and sends them gliding in a horizontal "Superman" position 1,700 feet across the entertainment district.
Zip line rides cost $20, while zoom line rides will cost $30.

Charles Reed - The Plan
Artist: Charles Reed
Producer: Pulse
Album: Charles In Charge EP
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 5 votes )
When heading out for a night on the town, it's important that you have a specific plan in place; you wouldn't want anything to get in the way of the dancing, drinking and having a good time, right? Charles Reed knows this all to well, because on his latest single he is the man with The Plan. Producer Pulse mans the boards, crafting a layered, poppy beat with just a touch of electronic influence in the form of a quick beat breakdown in the middle of the track, over which Reed outlines his plan to pair up with a lady and making sure she has the perfect night. The Ohio crooner engages listeners with a breezy, catchy vocal performance, sure to make more than a few ladies adhere to his plan. Reed's latest project, the Charles In Charge EP currently doesn't have a drop date, but keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest.

A trader works on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange as the market shoots higher Wednesday.NEW YORK — The "fiscal cliff" compromise, even with all its chaos, controversy and unresolved questions, was enough to send the stock market shooting higher Wednesday, the first trading day of 2013.
All the major U.S. stock indexes swelled more than 2 percent in early trading and were up 308 points at the closing bell. The Dow Jones industrial average briefly surged to its biggest gain in six months.
The revelry multiplied across the globe, with stocks throughout Europe and Asia leaping higher.
In the U.S., the rally was extraordinarily broad. For every stock that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, roughly nine rose. Technology and bank stocks rose the most. U.S. government bond prices fell as investors pulled money out of safe-harbor investments.
But for all the euphoria, many investors cautioned that it can't last long. The deal that politicians hammered out merely postpones the country's budget reckoning, they said, rather than averting it.
"Washington negotiations remind me of the Beach Boys song, 'We'll have fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away,'" Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank in Chicago, wrote in a note to clients.
"Nothing got solved," added T. Doug Dale, chief investment officer for Security Ballew Wealth Management in Jackson, Miss.
According to them and others, the markets were celebrating Wednesday not because investors love the budget deal that was cobbled together, but because they were grateful there was any deal at all.
"Most people think that no deal would have been worse than a bad deal," said Mark Lehmann, president of JMP Securities in San Francisco. He called the current package "not too Draconian."
The House passed the budget bill late Tuesday night, a contentious exercise because many Republicans had wanted a deal that did more to cut government spending. The Senate had already approved the bill.
The late-night haggling was a product of lawmakers wanting to avert a sweeping set of government spending cuts and tax increases that kicked in Jan. 1 in the absence of a budget deal, a scenario that came to be known on Wall Street and Washington as the fiscal cliff, because of the threat it would pose to the fragile U.S. economic recovery.
Wednesday's market performance gave no hint of the dark clouds on the horizon.
The Dow briefly surged as much as 273 points in early trading. At the close, it was up 308 points, to 13,413.
The Standard & Poor's 500 was up 24, or 1.7 percent, to 1,450. The Nasdaq composite was up 68, or 2.3 percent, to 3,088.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose sharply, to 1.83 percent from 1.75 percent. Prices for oil and metals including gold, copper and platinum, were up.
The gains persisted despite small reminders that there are still serious problems punctuating the world economy, like middling growth for the U.S. economy and the still-unsolved European debt crisis. The government reported that U.S. builders spent less on construction projects in November, the first decline in eight months. And the president of debt-wracked Cyprus said he'd refuse to sell government-owned companies, a provision that the country's bailout deal says it must at least consider.MORE IN National / World BusinessLOS ANGELES Its back, and its back on a scale that is well matched to this car-centric city.

Furness Building Society's Valentine's cancer charity appeal
Last updated at 16:31, Thursday, 21 February 2013
VALENTINE'S is a day synonymous with giving – but it is about more than just lovers swapping tokens of affection.
Furness Building Society last week helped spread the love for their local cancer charity, as they spent February 14 hosting fun activities to get members of the community to show their support.
Staff at the Barrow, Dalton and Millom branches held Valentine's-themed raffles and sold romantic gifts and specially-decorated cakes.
All money was made for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, which funds equipment, facilities, treatment and research across South Cumbria and Lancashire.
Martin Cutbill, sales and marketing director at The Furness, said: "We have supported Rosemere Cancer Foundation for over 15 years as we believe in the great work they do, as do our staff and customers."
The Rosemere Valentine's Appeal runs throughout the first three weeks of February, and aims to raise £30,000 to support services and projects which make a difference to patients.
The Bay Radio, which supports the project, visited The Furness' Barrow branch on Thursday as part of a tour to promote the appeal.
Sue Thompson, Rosemere chief officer, said: "Furness Building Society is one of our oldest and most loyal supporters – they have raised thousands via the Rosemere Cancer Foundation charity over the years. On behalf of Rosemere I would like to express our extreme gratitude."

Basics of Cooking Legumes
I cannot seem to cool things like black eyed peas, lentils, crowder peas, etc on the stove without the flavor coming off really bland and underseasoned or completely overdone.
What is a fool-proof, basic way to cook stuff like this? Spices to add to the pot, etc?
I cooked my black eyed peas yesterday with some chopped kielbasa, onion, celery, green pepper, an assortment of spices I'm not sure I can duplicate (garlic powder, thyme, oregano, cumin?), and hit it with DH's homemade habanero sauce. (I think it was flavorful before the habanero sauce, but who can tell? ;-)
A pork product always helps, IMHO -- ham bone, fat back, etc.
My three recent pots of lentils were: sauteed onions (almost caramalized) then stock with cubed potato and tomato, and dried African game meat (mainly kudu). Seasoned with pepper because of some salt in the stock and salt in the game meat. Pureed and added yogurt. Perfect.
Definitely a little pig always improves matters. But there is a reason canned beans are so high in sodium -- beans (legumes) need a lot of salt. When I'm making them, I usually have some sort of cured meat (salt) and I cook the beans with some sort of stock (salt).
My basic soup recipe includes carrot, onion, celery, split peas/lentils, smoked turkey leg/ham bone/ham hocks, thyme, bay, cayenne, salt, pepper, all cooked in chicken stock. Other good additions are dried chipotles, curry powder, garam masala, and Tony Chachere original.
Harold McGee makes an eloquent case for presoaking legumes in his article on heat in the NY Times today. Oddly enough, though I hadn't soaked blackeyes in the past I did so this year, and then cooked them very slowly with onion, 3 pods of dried red pepper and a big chunk of locally cured and smoked bacon. I did not salt them until they became tender, and then put them in the fridge overnight, meat and all, and finished the cooking on Monday for a party that night. Had enough leftover to serve to five people (with rice, of course!) as the opener for last night's dinner, plus a nice lunch for me just a while ago. Extremely rich in both flavor and mouth-feel. Maybe the best part was that I cut up the bacon and discarded most of its fat, and used one of those fat-blotting sheets to remove it from the liquid before pouring it back over the peas, so we got the richness without so much actual grease.
Onions, garlic, cumin, parsley/cilantro, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, tomato paste, smoked paprika or chili flakes or a chipotle pepper - all add a lot of flavor. I try to cook many legumes in the pressure cooker to be energy efficient about it and any of the spices above can really add flavor during this. I add cilantro (whole sprigs are fine, I pick them out later anyway), bay leaf and a smashed garlic clove routinely.
re: sweetTooth
Hey Sam: I fix my black-eyed-peas like this, I soak them, cook them with a ham-hock
until done. remove the pork. cook some ground beef with some onion, add that to the peas, and also some canned jalapeno chiles. makes a great side dish.

love these knobs!
I purchased these for a bathroom vanity, but they were so cute, they knocked out four other contenders for my new kitchen cabinets. I am a bargain shopper, who looks long and hard for the best price for the things I am interested in purchasing. Haefele is a good company, and the knobs are high-quality. They actually looked better than the photo. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Write a Super Short Story to win an iPod!
1940, from Yiddish pastrame, from Rumanian pastrama, probably from Turkish pastrima, variant of basdirma "dried meat," from root *bas- "to press." Another possible origin of the Rumanian word [Barnhart] is Modern Greek pastono "I salt," from classical Greek pastos "sprinkled with salt, salted." Spelling in English with -mi probably from influence of salami.

Friday Five: Not In Heaven
This week's Friday Five is inspired by a song that was mentioned in Ralph Stanley's autobiography Man of Constant Sorrow: Cager Farler's "There'll Be No Hippies in Heaven." (Really, Cager? Not even that longhaired dude in sandals?) So what else isn't in heaven? Let's find out.
- 5. "No Lawyers in Heaven" – Ray Stevens
If you've ever been sued, gone through a divorce, or had to pay legal fees for some reason or another, you can probably agree with Stevens' sentiments here. Bluegrass musician Charlie Sizemore (who also happens to have a law practice in Nashville) has a nice version on his newest album Heartache Looking for a Home.
- 4. "Wireless In Heaven" – Robert Earl Keen
If there's no wireless in heaven, if Jesus won't answer his email, the tongue-in-cheek Keen will gladly go to hell.
- 3. "No School Bus in Heaven" – Stanley Brothers
This song–the last official song that Carter and Ralph recorded for Mercury–is based on the true story of a late 1950s bus accident in Kentucky in which 26 kids and their bus driver were killed. It's a tragic story made even sadder by the mournful vocals found on the record.
- 2. "No Telephone in Heaven" – The Carter Family
Nobody could sing a sad song like Sara Carter. In this song, a little kid wants to call up heaven and "tell [Mother] that I get so lonesome that I don't know what to do/And Papa cries so much I guess he must be lonesome too/Tell her to come to baby cause at night I get so 'fraid/With no one there to kiss me when the lights begin to fade." Check out A.P.'s border radio version below.
- 1. "No Depression" – Uncle Tupelo
I'm partial to the Carter Family's version of the song, but this is the cover that spawned a musical movement, or at least the title of one.
12 Comments
I have always been grateful that Uncle Tupelo didn't record "No Telephone in Heaven" because, I think I would have been writing for a decade for a magazine called "No Telephone."
(Incidentally, The Uncle Tupelo guys learned "No Depression" from the recording by the New Lost City Ramblers, and THEY'D heard the Carters' record. There was a good early one by Charlie Monroe, too.)
from "Midnight Choir" by Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers:
Will they have Mogen David in Heaven?
Dear Lord, we'd all like to know
Will they have Mogen David in Heaven, sweet Jesus?
If they don't, who the hell wants to go?
I think I'm the only one, but I really enjoyed Sheryl Crow's cover of "No Depression" from 2004. I thought she did a really good job with the song and proved she could sing country music if she really wanted to. But like I said, and I could be wrong, but I think I'm the only one who shares this view.
According to Buck Owens, the jury is still out regarding whether there will be Sweethearts in Heaven.
Will there be any boxcars in heaven? (Jimmie Rodgers wanted to know.)
"In Heaven There is No Beer" (Old German song, Iowa fight song, etc. Lists a lots of things that won't be in heaven,.)
"Texas When I Die" (the Tanya Tucker hit, also recorded by Ed Bruce) followed a similar theme: "When I die, I may not go to heaven, I don't know if they let cowboys in. When I die, just let me go to Texas."
> I think I'm the only one, but I really enjoyed
> Sheryl Crow's cover of "No Depression" from 2004
Count me in the group that did not like this cover. While I like some of her pop recordings, to me her attempts at acoustic-based music emphasize how unremarkable her voice really is.
"I Hope Heaven Has a Honky-Tonk". I can't remember who did that one. It's saying that there might be one or their might not be.
Dave D. said: "According to Buck Owens, the jury is still out regarding whether there will be Sweethearts in Heaven."
Well according to Buck yet again the same also applies to big rig trucks! (See the album titled "Rig Rock Deluxe" for further details…)
I know what won't be in heaven, and that's "The Honky Tonk From Hell" the Aussie Dead Ringer Band sang about on their "Home Fires" CD! (lol)
There'll be no detours in heaven, no rough roads along the way ..
from "I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap" by Red Smiley & Don Reno
That'd be Don Reno & Red Smiley, a/k/a Reno & Smiley, not the other way around.
And Charlie Sizemore *had* a practice in Nashville; he's moved back to Eastern Kentucky.
Jon – I did that intentionally to see if you could resist the impulse to snipe. You can't …
Corrected. It would bs like writing Dunn & Brooks.
By the way, I learned today that while Charlie's an East Kentucky resident, he still maintains his Nashville office.

Alfa Romeo First Drives
Alfa Romeo is an Italian marque whose offerings have been renowned for their sporty driving characteristics and passionate design since its birth in 1910, back when the company was known as Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili. Imported into the US beginning in the mid-1950s and part of the Fiat empire since 1986, the brand pulled up stakes here in 1995 amidst slow sales. Rumors of a triumphant return began circulating almost immediately after the last dealer closed its doors. After dipping their foot back in the US motor pool briefly with the limited-volume 8C Competizione in 2008, a full-fledged commitment to a reborn dealer network would not follow until 2014.

The Baby 458 Since it debuted this car as a concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Alfa Romeo has managed to keep the buzz alive for its 4C sports car – a huge accomplishment in its own right for this wildly adored, long suffering and eternally cash-strapped company.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor announced two grant awards from the Workforce Innovation Fund to increase employment and reduce recidivism among formerly incarcerated individuals. The winning states are New York and Massachusetts, where a total of $24 million will be put to use in pilot pay-for-success programs.
I've blogged about pay-for-success, or social impact bonds (SIBs) before. This innovative financial structure is one way public, nonprofit, and private sectors can adapt to the new economic climate and collaborate to provide sustainable solutions with a measurable impact on society.
In the case of the New York and Massachusetts bonds, two great programs – the Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) and Roca respectively – generate a financial return for private investors only once projects demonstrate they have achieved the targeted outcomes. Rigorous evaluation will determine if outcomes are met, while at the same time expanding the body of knowledge on what works to increase employment for greater numbers of people who are court involved, as well as demonstrating the feasibility and viability of this innovative finance model.
We hope these high profile pilots will pave the way for other states and localities to test their own versions of innovative financing for social and environmental services. There is a strong set of SIB deals already in the pipeline across the U.S., but most cities and states are starting from the basics. The infographic below is an easy way to get that conversation going, and Rockefeller Foundation grantees – like the Nonprofit Finance Fund – provide many of the much needed resources to carry that conversation forward. We look forward to seeing how this innovative concept spreads and greatly increases the reach and quality of critical services for our nation.
