Aside from serious enthusiasts and obsessive Bimmerphiles, Alpina isn't as recognized today as it was in the past. The BMW ubertuner and specialty marque has a long history in motorsports that includes wins at the 24 Hours of Spa, the 24 hour at the Nurburgring and three European Touring Car Championships. Alpina will attempt to reinvigorate its image and its motorsports heritage when it enters its 6-series-based B6 GT3 in the 2009 FIA European Championship next year, along with running a handful of high-profile endurance races.
The B6 S is the basis for the B6 GT3, and comes packing a supercharged, 4.4-liter V8 dolling out 530 hp and 535 lb.-ft. of torque. That should make it competitive with the rest of the field, including Aston Martins, Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The B6 GT3 isn't strictly for Alpina's own works team, as it plans to sell race-ready versions to privateer teams and wealthy collectors.
Alpina's full press release is available after the jump.

ALPINA look back on a long and successful history in international motorsport.
ALPINA look back on a long and successful history in international motorsport. Well-known F1 and Touring Car drivers such as Niki Lauda, Jacky Ickx, Hans Stuck and Dieter Quester gripped an ALPINA steering wheel on their way to winning three European Touring Car Championships. ALPINA pilots also won the Nürburgring 24 Hours numerous times, as well as the 24 Hours of Spa in 1970.
"We think that the BMW 6 Series – especially with the super-charged, torque-laden 4,4 l V8 ALPINA engine from the B6 S (530 HP, 725 Nm) – provides the ideal basis to challenge pure-bred sportscars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin within the framework of GT3 regulations", said Andreas Bovensiepen, ALPINA proprietor.
After 20 years out of racing, ALPINA will field a factory team, running the B6 GT3 in the 2009 FIA GT3 European Championship, our race car based on the BMW ALPINA B6 S road car. ALPINA will field its this team in the FIA GT3 European Championship, as well as racing in selected important endurance races.
The idea of going racing with street-based dream cars has proven to be a great success for drivers, spectators and manufacturers alike. With this involvement in racing, ALPINA will be able to raise awareness of the ALPINA brand, especially in markets new to ALPINA. With ten distinguished automotive marques, the GT3 Championship is the Crème de la Crème, and with starting grids of 45 cars in the European Championship and multiple national championships, quite compelling. ALPINA see a well-thought-out concept at relatively reasonable cost. With his long racing history, Andreas Bovensiepen sees the benefit racing can bring, and has been the initiator of the new GT3 project from the very beginning.
Much like in the 1970s, ALPINA will also sell BMW ALPINA B6 GT3 race cars to private parties, collectors and race teams. This motorsport engagement will be ALPINA's fourth business venture. It marks another milestone in ALPINA's strategy of consistent, enduring growth. In addition to the race cars, ALPINA have been manufacturing road-going BMW ALPINA automobiles for over 40 years, and maintain a flourishing business trading in renowned wines from world's finest growing regions. A new engineering centre, absolutely state-of-the-art in terms of its machinery and capabilities, will soon be completed. This will allow ALPINA to more quickly bring its products to market and to offer its engineering services to third parties.
Alpina Race Team Openings
So that we may build up our race team and successfully develop the race version of the BMW ALPINA B6 GT3, we're looking for candidates with experience in motorsport. Your commitment and drive for perfection are the basis for future success. We expect a high level of flexibility, including weekends... Interested? Then compete for one of the following positions:
1.Project Manager

I've lived in the St. Clair area most of my life. (a few years in Florida)
About 20 years ago I was at family reunion and someone had a genealogist research the surname and they shared a copy with me. That's when I started to put together the family tree.
After my mother passed away I was going through old trunks and things and I found old scrapbooks with obituaries that she and her mother had saved. Find-A-Grave was just the place for them.

Fleischmann does job he was elected to do
In response to the great letter to the editor which appeared in your paper on Aug. 24: Mr. Watson's criticism of Weston Wamp and your newspaper was damning and accurate!
How it slipped past the censors, I can't imagine, but kudos to Brian Watson for advancing to the flag of truth in writing, and kudos to Chuck Fleischmann for doing the job we conservative Republicans elected him to do.
MIKE ORLINS, Red Bank
Union supports those who support schools
Recently, some poorly informed folks spread misinformation from the Beacon Center website encouraging teachers to "quit the union." It alleges our support of a state income tax and a left-wing agenda.
But the state legislature determines how we are taxed and adequately funds our public schools. It also collects and redistributes public monies, not teachers or any other organization.
In my district, state Sen. Bo Watson and state Rep. Gerald McCormick both received high marks from TEA during the last legislative session. Are they the left-wing radicals of whom Justin Owen and J.C. Bowman speak? I think not.
In Hamilton County, the HCEA recommended Mayor Jim Coppinger and recently elected Commissioner Randy Fairbanks. These men are definitely not members of a radical left wing.
When TEA or HCEA recommends candidates, we do it because they're doing what's right for the students of Hamilton County and the state.
It is not about partisan politics; it's about attracting and retaining good teachers for our public schools. The best interest of our students is our agenda.
TEA and HCEA are made up of qualified educators who teach in our public schools, not a "think tank" in another city or state.
GIL HIGHLANDER, Hixson
Gun owners: Be responsible
I recently read about a young child who found a gun and shot himself, and a man in Helen, Ga., who accidentally discharged his gun in the street, wounding him and killing an innocent woman who was in the wrong place.
I have read about many meaningless deaths because of our inability to properly handle firearms. Look at the two local incidents where unnecessary force brought untimely deaths to a teenager and an Alzheimer's patient.
Yet, I have failed to hear of once where the "good guy" was in the right place at the right time to prevent the "bad guy" from killing more people. And this is what the NRA uses as its propaganda to prevent sensible gun laws that can prevent such deaths. And we still demand our Second Amendment right.
Two years ago, 2-year-old Brennan Nowell on Signal Mountain got access to his grandfather's gun and accidentally shot himself. The heart-wrenching obituary from his mom should have been enough to make us all think exactly what we are doing to ourselves.
Whoever read that obituary should have cried over that mother's pain.
If you must carry a gun, be responsible for your actions.
ROGER SHIPLEY, Ringgold, Ga.

What if a city decided to upgrade its arts and culture venues and no one remembered to come? The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District devised a great way to entice the public into trying out places by offering the kind of package deal one simply can't refuse: Hot Tickets, which include a discounted ticket to a selected event at one of SCFD's myriad beneficiaries along with an added deal -- a special reception, meal, free drink or other perk -- each month. Upcoming Hot Ticket events this summer include a Central City performance of Candide, a night of virtuoso string music with 3 Jammin' Gents at Boulder's Chautauqua Auditorium, A Night Under the Stars at the Colorado Music Festival (also at Chautauqua) and an outdoor concert by the Amazing Rhythm Aces at the Arvada Center. Isn't it time you had a night out, on the town?

Griffe Du Chat, Liane du Pérou, Life-Giving Vine of Peru, Samento, Uña De Gato.
CAUTION: See separate listing for Cat's Foot.
Scientific Name:
Uncaria guianensis; Uncaria tomentosa. Family: Rubiaceae.
People Use This For:
Orally, cat's claw is used for diverticulitis, peptic ulcers, colitis, gastritis, hemorrhoids, parasites, Alzheimer's disease, and leaky bowel syndrome. Cat's claw is also used orally for viral infections including herpes zoster, herpes simplex, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is also used orally for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), wound healing, arthritis, asthma, allergic rhinitis, cancer (especially urinary tract cancer), glioblastoma, gonorrhea, dysentery, birth control, bone pains, and "cleansing" the kidneys.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally, short-term. A specific freeze-dried aqueous extract seems to be safe when used for up to four weeks. Another extract of cat's claw, free of tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids, seems to be safe when used for up to 24 weeks.
PREGNANCY: POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally. There is concern that cat's claw might be unsafe based on its use as a contraceptive; avoid using.
LACTATION: Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
Osteoarthritis. Taking a specific freeze-dried cat's claw extract (Uncaria guianensis) orally appears to relieve knee pain related to physical activity within one week of treatment, but it does not decrease pain at rest or decrease knee swelling.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Taking a specific cat's claw extract (Uncaria tomentosa) orally, containing pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids but free of tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids, appears to modestly improve symptoms of RA. Taken orally in combination with sulfasalazine or hydroxychloroquine for 24 weeks, cat's claw seems to reduce the number of painful and swollen joints.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the effectiveness of cat's claw for its other uses.
Mechanism of Action:
The applicable part of cat's claw is the root and bark. The major alkaloid of cat's claw is rhynchophylline. There is some evidence that it might have cardiovascular effects including dilating peripheral blood vessels, lowering heart rate, and possibly lowering blood cholesterol. Rhynchophylline might also inhibit sympathetic nervous system activity.
Cat's claw is thought to work for osteoarthritis due to anti-inflammatory effects. It seems to inhibit the production of prostaglandin E2 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). There is interest in using cat's claw for rheumatoid arthritis. The pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids found in cat's claw seem to have immunomodulatory effects, enhancing phagocytosis and increasing lymphocyte activity. However, these effects appear to be antagonized by the tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids also found in cat's claw.
Cat's claw stimulates production of colony-stimulating factors, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6, and increase myelopoiesis in animal models. Cat's claw increases several white blood cells, including B and T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and granulocytes in animal models. But cat's claw does not seem to change the proportion of these cells. Cat's claw does not seem to increase precursors to the cells, suggesting that it prolongs white blood cell survival, rather than increasing cell production . Cat's claw also seems to increase recovery from doxorubicin-induced leukopenia in animal models.
There is also interest in cat's claw for cancer and viral infections because some of its constituents seem to have antioxidant, immunostimulant, and antiviral effects. These constituents include quinovic acid alkaloids and the alkaloids pteropodine and isopteropodine. Extracts of cat's claw also might have antimutagenic activity. There is preliminary evidence that cat's claw extracts can induce tumor cell death (apoptosis), and inhibit proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cells. However, cat's claw does not appear to be cytotoxic to normal cells. Cat's claw may also exert antiestrogenic effects, although the mechanism is not yet completely understood.
Some cat's claw alkaloids may have a beneficial effect on memory loss caused by cholinergic dysfunction. These alkaloids seem to enhance central cholinergic transmission by increasing acetylcholine levels or by affecting dopaminergic systems that can enhance cholinergic function. Another constituent, uncarine E, might also affect the glutamateric system, which might also play a critical role in memory and cognition.
Adverse Reactions:
Orally, cat's claw can cause headache, dizziness, and vomiting.
Interactions with Herbs & Supplements:
HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS WITH HYPOTENSIVE EFFECTS: Cat's claw is thought to have hypotensive effects. Theoretically, combining cat's claw with other herbs or supplements with hypotensive effects might increase the risk of hypotension. Some of these herbs and supplements include andrographis, casein peptides, cat's claw, coenzyme Q-10, fish oil, L-arginine, lycium, stinging nettle, theanine, and others.
Interactions with Drugs:
ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS Interaction Rating = Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Since cat's claw may lower blood pressure, exercise caution when using cat's claw with antihypertensive drugs.
CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES Interaction Rating = Moderate Be cautious with this combination. There's preliminary evidence that cat's claw can inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes. Theoretically, cat's claw might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4; however, so far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and numerous others. Use cat's claw cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.
IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS Interaction Rating = Moderate Be cautious with this combination. Theoretically, cat's claw may interfere with immunosuppressant therapy due to immunostimulating activity. It stimulates phagocytosis and increases respiratory cellular activity and the mobility of leukocytes. Immunosuppressant drugs include azathioprine (Imuran), basiliximab (Simulect), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), daclizumab (Zenapax), muromonab-CD3 (OKT3, Orthoclone OKT3), mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf), sirolimus (Rapamune), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), and other corticosteroids (glucocorticoids).
Interactions with Foods:
None known.
Interactions with Lab Tests:
WHITE BLOOD CELLS (WBCs): Cat's claw increases several WBCs including B and T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and granulocytes in animal models. But cat's claw does not seem to change the proportion of these cells. Cat's claw does not seem to increase precursors to the cells, suggesting that it prolongs white blood cell survival, rather than increasing cell production. Theoretically, cat's claw might increase WBCs in patients who take it, however, this effect has not been demonstrated in humans.
Interactions with Diseases or Conditions:
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES: There is some concern that cat's claw might adversely affect patients with autoimmune disorders because of its immune stimulating effects. Avoid using in patients with multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or other autoimmune disorders without the advice of a healthcare professional.
HYPOTENSION: Cat's claw might reduce blood pressure and exacerbate hypotension.
LEUKEMIA: Preliminary evidence suggests that cat's claw might prolong survival time of childhood leukemia cells in vitro. Theoretically, taking cat's claw might worsen disease activity in patients who have leukemia. Advise patients with leukemia not to take cat's claw.
SURGERY: Cat's claw might affect blood pressure. Theoretically, cat's claw might interfere with blood pressure control during and after surgical procedures. Tell patients to discontinue cat's claw at least 2 weeks before elective surgical procedures.
ORAL: For osteoarthritis of the knee, 100 mg daily of a specific freeze-dried aqueous cat's claw extract has been used. For rheumatoid arthritis, 60 mg daily in three divided doses of a specific cat's claw extract (free of tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids) has been used.
Cat's claw was ranked as the seventh most popular herb in US sales in 1997. Two species of cat's claw are of primary interest for medicinal use: Uncaria tomentosa and Uncaria guianensis. Uncaria tomentosa is most commonly used in the US, and Uncaria guianensis is typically used in Europe.

He Holds The Lantern While His Mother Chops the Wood
From: The humble Farmer
Length: :53
If you are really messed up, there is a television talk show for you
Some people claim to be shocked at the large number of dysfunctional families that have crawled out of the woodwork to air their problems on television talk shows. But our society hasn't changed. We're just hearing about it in a different way now. Seventy years ago there was a popular song, "He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood." And you'd have to be pretty young not to remember when you could turn on the radio and hear, "Slap her down again paw, slap her down again. We can't have the neighbors, talking bout our kin."

"I" as a thinking mind, is a barrier. "I" as an existential living unit, not a thinking mind, is no barrier. Then there is no "I" and "you"; then the whole existence becomes one.
The ego is "I" and the other ego is the "you." And the absolute comes only when there is egolessness. "I" cannot conceive it, "I" can dissolve in it; "you" can dissolve in it, but "you" cannot conceive it. A drop cannot conceive the ocean. A drop can only conceive the drop. That is its limitation. A drop can become the ocean; it can drop into it and be one with it. Only then it knows - through being, not through thinking. It becomes one with it and knows, but now even this knowing cannot be translated into conceptions.
Conceptions are mental languages - the mind transforming a thing into a thought. I love you: then there is no "I" and there is no "you," but love exists and we both become two polarities of it - two extensions of one feeling, two waves coming and going of one feeling. When you begin to conceive about love, then love becomes a theory, a dead concept - words, principles, philosophies, doctrines - but then there is no love. A theory of love is not love and a theory of godliness is not godliness. The word godliness is not godliness.
So with all these conceptions, I'm not saying this conception is right and that wrong. I'm saying that conceptualization as such is wrong. We cannot conceive. The inconceivable is the absolute. And the moment one begins to think about it, and begins to weave a theory around it, then there are only words and the truth is being lost.
The truth can never become a word.
Osho,What is your attitude towards the Vedic religion, the Vedanta Sutra?
What is the purpose of these literatures if not to discuss the nature of the absolute truth?
It is not.
The absolute truth then is beyond conceptualizing, then how is it then that these literatures such as the Vedanta Sutra and the Bhagavad Gita present description and definition of the absolute truth?
No one presents, no one can present. They all deny, they all deny.

The healthcare industry experiences more data breaches than any other industry, according to Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRC) data.
PRC maintains a database of privacy breaches from 2005 to the present. When available, the database includes what type of information was breached, how many records were affected, the organization that was storing the data, the types of records accessed, and a narrative of the circumstances surrounding the breach.
In 2011, 170 of 481 publicly disclosed breaches happened in the medical industry. Most of the breaches (50 breaches containing at least four million records) happened after portable data devices went missing. In several cases, the information was on laptops and flash drives that had been stolen or lost.
"The healthcare industry has a long ways to go when it comes to a maturity model that can support a defensive strategy around protecting its assets," cybersecurity blogger and penetration tester David Kennedy said in a post on Monday. "As HIPAA continues to get a majority of sell as a way of protection against attacks, we will continue to see large exposures in the healthcare industry."
Kennedy says instead of purchasing "shiny new" prevention tools, organizations should develop programs that focus on addressing threats toward the organization instead of mainly compliance.
A study released by the Ponemon Institute last September says the biggest healthcare data security threat is theft of equipment containing sensitive information. The healthcare and pharmaceutical industry had the highest rate of laptop thefts, according to a joint study by Ponemon and Intel Corporation. The study found that most organizations (two-thirds) don't take advantage of security practices like encryption, which would keep data secure if a device the information resided on were stolen. Forty-six percent of laptops contained confidential data; only 30 percent used encryption, the report said.

Sensors 2014, 14(3), 4177-4188; doi:10.3390/s140304177
Published: 3 March 2014
Abstract: A humidity microsensor integrated with a readout circuit on-a-chip fabricated using the commercial 0.18 μm CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process was presented. The integrated sensor chip consists of a humidity sensor and a readout circuit. The humidity sensor is composed of a sensitive film and interdigitated electrodes. The sensitive film is titanium dioxide prepared by the sol-gel method. The titanium dioxide is coated on the interdigitated electrodes. The humidity sensor requires a post-process to remove the sacrificial layer and to coat the titanium dioxide. The resistance of the sensor changes as the sensitive film absorbs or desorbs vapor. The readout circuit is employed to convert the resistance variation of the sensor into the output voltage. The experimental results show that the integrated humidity sensor has a sensitivity of 4.5 mV/RH% (relative humidity) at room temperature.
1. Introduction
Humidity sensors are important devices for application in industrial and electronic equipment. Various traditional sensors have been miniaturized as microsensors using micromachining technology. Micromachined sensors have the benefits of high performance, low cost, small size, and easy mass-production [1]. Many humidity microsensors have been manufactured using micromachining technology. For instance, Chen et al. [2] used micromachining technology to fabricate a capacitive relative humidity sensor in which its sensitive material was zinc oxide. The humidity-sensitive ZnO nanorods were synthesized by the thermal decomposition, and then deposited on the micromachined electrodes by dielectrophoretic manipulation. Kim et al. [3] developed a capacitive humidity sensor using microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology. The structure of the humidity sensor was composed of interdigitated electrodes and a polyimide sensing layer. The height of interdigitated electrodes was increased in order to enhance the capacitance and sensitivity of the sensor, and it had a sensitivity of 37.1 fF/RH% (relative humidity). Lee et al. [4] presented an integrated humidity sensor with micropumps. The valve-less micropumps in the sensor system were fabricated using micromachining process of a deep reactive ion etching and an anodic bonding step. The maximum flow rate of the micropumps was 0.176 μL/min. The sensitivity of the humidity sensor with pumping was 10 times higher than it was without pumping. Lee et al. [5] manufactured a novel high-speed polyimide-based humidity sensor using a combination of isotropic and anisotropic etching steps with inductively coupled plasma and a localized curing of polyimide film on microhotplate. The polyimide capacitive humidity sensor showed a sensitivity of 0.77 pF/RH%. Chen et al. [6] proposed a humidity microsensor with a micromachined silicon dioxide cantilever beam. The fabrication of the sensor combined the isotropic and anisotropic dry etching of inductively couple plasma to release the silicon dioxide cantilever beam. Deflection amplitude of the silicon dioxide microcantilever beam was observed upon exposure to 1% relative humidity. Su et al. [7] employed MEMS technology and thick-film technology to make a resistive humidity microsensor. The microsensor consisted of a suspended planar membrane, metal electrodes and a humidity-sensing film. Metal electrodes were located on the surface of the membrane, and the humidity-sensing film of poly-[3-(methacryloylamino)propyl] trimethylammonium chloride and SiO2 was coated on the top of the electrodes. The conductivity of the humidity-sensing film changed upon adsorption/desorption of water vapor. Lazarus and Fedder [8] fabricated a capacitive humidity microsensor using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-MEMS technique. The fabrication of the microsensor included adding oxide pillars to hold the plate apart, spin coating polymer to the electrodes, adding a polysilicon heater and etching away excess polymer in the release holes. The humidity sensor had a sensitivity of 0.21% change in capacitance per RH%. A capacitive humidity microsensor, proposed by Zhao et al. [9], was fabricated using the CMOS process. The microsensor was composed of a polysilicon heater, aluminum interdigitated electrodes and a humidity-sensing film of polyimide. Both the hysteresis and the recovery time of the sensor were improved based on the polysilicon heater. Yang et al. [10] utilized the commercial CMOS process to produce a resistive humidity microsensor. The sensitive film of the sensor was polyaniline doping polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) prepared by sol-gel method. The sensitivity of the humidity sensor was 12.6 kΩ/RH%. The humidity microsensors [2–10] were not integrated with circuitry on-a-chip. Microsensors integrated with circuitry on-a-chip have the benefits of low package cost and high performance [1]. In this work, we manufacture a humidity sensor integrated with a readout circuit on chip.
The commercial CMOS process has been used to develop various microsensors and microactuators [11–14]. Microsensors fabricated by this process can be integrated with circuitry on-a-chip [15–18]. In this study, a humidity sensor with a readout circuit on chip is manufactured using the CMOS process. Titanium dioxide prepared by the sol-gel method is adopted as the sensitive material of the sensor. The sensor needs a post-process [19–21] to coat the sensitive material. The post-process contains etching the sacrificial oxide layer and depositing the sensitive film.
2. Structure of the Humidity Sensor
Figure 1 illustrates the schematic structure of the integrated humidity sensor chip. The integrated microsensor chip consists of a humidity sensor and a readout circuit. The humidity sensor is composed of interdigitated electrodes and a sensitive film. The interdigitated electrodes are 300 μm long and 6 μm thick, and their widths are both 5 and 10 μm. The gap between the interdigitated electrodes is 10 μm. Material of the sensitive film is titanium dioxide, and the sensitive film is coated on the interdigitated electrodes. When the sensitive film of titanium dioxide adsorbs vapor, the conductivity of the film increases because the electrons in the film increases, leading to the resistance of the film decreases [22,23]. Thereby, the humidity sensor is a resistive type. The humidity sensor produces a change in resistance when the sensitive film adsorbs or desorbs vapor.
As shown in Figure 1, the integrated microsensor contains a readout circuit [24] to convert the resistance variation of the humidity sensor into the output voltage, where OP represents the operational amplifier, Vin is the input voltage of the circuit; Vout is the output voltage of the circuit; Rs is the resistance of the humidity sensor; R1–R7 are the resistances of the circuit.
The software HSPICE (Synopsys Taiwan Co., Ltd., Hsinchu, Taiwan) is utilized to simulate the characteristics of the readout circuit. Figure 2 shows the simulated results of output voltage for the readout circuit. In this simulation, the resistances R1 = 5 kΩ, R2 = 5 kΩ, R3 = 30 kΩ, R4 = 30 kΩ, R5 = 20 kΩ, R6 = 30 kΩ, R7 = 10 kΩ and Rs = 100 kΩ are set, and the input voltage Vin is 2.5 V. The bias voltage of the amplifier is 3.3 V. The resistance of the humidity sensor varies from 400 to 100 kΩ. The simulated results revealed that the output voltage of the readout circuit decreased from 2.39 to 2.14 V as the resistance of the sensor changed from 400 to 100 kΩ. To characterize the relation between the output voltage and temperature for the readout circuit, the readout circuit is simulated at different temperatures. Figure 3 shows the simulated results of output voltage for the readout circuit at different temperatures. In this investigation, the bias voltage of the amplifier is 3.3 V, and the input voltage Vin is 2.5 V. The resistance of the humidity sensor is 120 kΩ, and the resistances are R1 = 5 kΩ, R2 = 5 kΩ, R3 = 30 kΩ, R4 = 30 kΩ, R5 = 20 kΩ, R6 = 30 kΩ and R7 = 10 kΩ. The temperature changes from 20 to 80 °C. The results showed that the output voltage of the readout circuit increased from 2.1485 to 2.1491 V as the temperature changes from 20 to 80 °C, in which the output voltage varies about 0.6 mV.
3. Preparation of the Sensitive Film
The sensitive film of the humidity sensor was titanium dioxide prepared by the sol-gel method [25,26]. The titanium dioxide was prepared as follows: titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OC3H7)4) precursor of 3 mL (Henan Tianfu Chemical Co., Henan, China) was dissolved in isopropanol (C3H8O, 20 mL) (Rhett Chemical Co., Taipei, Taiwan) with stirring for 30 min until the solution was mixed uniformly. Deionized water (40 mL) was added into the mixed solution with stirring for 1 h. Then, HNO3 solution of 5 mL (Kaomu Co., Kaohsiung, Taiwan) was added into the mixed solution and stirred for 20 min, followed by aging for 30 min. The slurry of titanium dioxide was filtered, and then rinsed with deionized water. Finally, the titanium dioxide was coated on the substrate with calcinations at 400 °C for 1 h.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL JSM-6700F, Tokyo, Japan) was used to measure the surface morphology of the titanium dioxide film. Figure 4 presents a SEM image of titanium dioxide film. The film was nanoparticle structures that have a large surface area and helps to enhance its sensitivity. The energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) was employed to test the composition of the titanium dioxide film. Figure 5 shows an EDS analysis of the titanium dioxide, where the main elements are titanium and oxygen. The results showed that the titanium dioxide film contained titanium of 50.75 wt% and oxygen of 49.25 wt%.
4. Fabrication of the Humidity Sensor
The commercial 0.18 μm CMOS process of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC, Taipei, Taiwan) was employed to manufacture the integrated humidity sensor chip. Figure 6 shows the fabrication flow of the integrated humidity sensor. The humidity sensor needed a post-process [27] to coat the sensitive film after completion of the CMOS process. The post-process contained two main steps. One etched the sacrificial layer to expose the interdigitated electrodes, and the other coated the titanium dioxide film on the interdigitated electrodes.
Figure 6a shows the cross-sectional view of the integrated humidity sensor after completion of the CMOS process. The interdigitated electrodes were made by the metal layers. Silicon dioxide located between the interdigitated electrodes was the sacrificial layer in which it needed to be removed. Figure 6b shows that the sacrificial oxide layer was removed. The sacrificial oxide layer was etched by a wet etching with buffer oxide etch (BOE) etchant [28,29], to expose the interdigitated electrodes. Figure 7 shows a SEM image of the integrated humidity sensor after the wet etching. The metal of the interdigitated electrodes was an aluminum alloy. The melting temperature of the metal was about 450 °C. Figure 8 shows a SEM image of the interdigitated electrodes after the wet etching. The interdigitated electrodes were fabricated completely. Figure 6c shows that the sensitive film was coated. A precision-control micro-dropper was used to drop the titanium dioxide onto the interdigitated electrodes, and then the titanium dioxide film was calcinated at 400 °C for 1 h. Figure 9 presents an optical image of the integrated humidity sensor after the post-process.
5. Results and Discussion
The performances of the humidity microsensor were tested by a power supply, a test chamber (GTH-099-40-1P, Giant Force Instruments Enterprise Co., New Taipei, Taiwan), a LCR meter and an oscilloscope. The test chamber could supply a humidity range of 25–90 RH% and a temperature range of 0–100 °C. Temperature and humidity in the test chamber could be tuned separately and maintained at constant levels. The power supply was used to provide the bias voltage and the input voltage to the readout circuit.
The humidity sensor without readout circuit was tested in order to characterize the resistance variation of the sensor. The humidity sensor without readout circuit was set in the test chamber, and its resistance variation under different humidity was measured by the LCR meter. Figure 10 shows the resistance variation of the humidity sensor under different humidity conditions. The measured results revealed that the resistance of the humidity sensor changed from 72 to 240 kΩ as the humidity varied from 90 to 30 RH%. The humidity sensor had a response time of 58 s and a recovery time of 65 s.
The humidity sensor with readout circuit was set in the test chamber. The test chamber provided different humidity levels to the humidity sensor. When the humidity in the test chamber rose or dropped, the resistance of the humidity sensor produced a change. The readout circuit converted the resistance variation of the sensor into the output voltage, and the oscilloscope recorded the output voltage. Figure 11 shows the measured results of the humidity sensor. In this measurement, the temperature maintained constant at 25 °C and the humidity varied from 30 to 90 RH% in 40 min and then dehumidified to 30 RH% at the same rate. The measured results showed that the output voltage of the humidity sensor changed from 2.27 to 2.05 V as the humidity increased from 30 to 90 RH%.
To characterize the influence of temperature, the humidity sensor was measured under different temperatures. The output voltage of the humidity sensor was detected at different temperatures. Figure 12 shows the measured results of output voltage for the humidity sensor at different temperatures. The output voltage of the humidity sensor changed from 2.27 to 2.05 V at the temperature of 25 °C as the humidity increased from 30 to 90 RH%. The output voltage of the sensor varied from 2.36 to 2.14 V at 55 °C as the humidity increased from 30 to 90 RH%. As shown in Figure 12, the curves approach linearity in the range of 45–90 RH%. According to the data in Figure 12, the relationship between the sensitivity and temperature for the humidity sensor can be obtained. Figure 13 shows the relationship between sensitivity and temperature for the humidity sensor. The results showed that the humidity sensor had a sensitivity of 4.5 mV/RH% at 25 °C and a sensitivity of 4.8 mV/RH% at 55 °C. The sensitivity of the sensor increased as the temperature increased. As shown in Figure 13, the curve is a nonlinear. The ratio of sensitivity to temperature was 0.18 mV/RH%/°C in the temperature range of 25–35 °C, and the ratio of sensitivity to temperature was 0.024 mV/RH%/°C in the temperature range of 35–55 °C.
6. Conclusions
A humidity sensor equipped with a readout circuit was successfully manufactured using the commercial 0.18 μm CMOS process and a post-process. The post-process was compatible with the commercial CMOS process. The humidity sensor consisted of a sensitive film and interdigitated electrodes. The sensitive film of the humidity sensor was titanium dioxide that was prepared by the sol-gel method. The titanium dioxide was deposited on the interdigitated electrodes. The humidity sensor generated a change in resistance as the sensitive film absorbed or desorbed water vapor. The resistance variation of the sensor was converted by the readout circuit into the output voltage. The sensor integrated with readout circuit on-a-chip would reduce noise and interference. The experiments showed that the output voltage of the humidity sensor decreased from 2.27 to 2.05 V as the humidity changed from 30 to 90 RH% at 25 °C. The humidity sensor had a sensitivity of 4.5 mV/RH% at room temperature.

While Ryan Bouc was working in Columbus, he met the owner of the Spanish newspaper there. After being involved with the paper, he recognized the need for a publication like this in Lincoln.
"We take these papers and put them out at Hy-Vee on Wednesday, and you come back on Saturday, and they are all gone," says Bouc on the Spanish newspaper in Columbus.
Because of the demand in Columbus, Bouc decided to expand in Lincoln. He's behind the publishing of Lincoln's first all-Spanish newspaper called Hispanos Unidos. Now Bouc doesn't do this all on his own; he has a team making the process work.
"Sometimes with a smaller newspaper, the owner does all of the ads, all of the articles—with this you've got 15-20 different people that are involved all looking at it offering insight."
Luciano Insua, an editor for the Hispanos Unidos who recently moved from Argentina to be with is wife says this paper can help new Latinos get connected with their community. Managing editor and wife of Insua, Janet Eckerson, says this newspaper is unique.
"We are really looking to provide everything a newspaper provides, in Spanish, and providing news that is relevant to the Latino community," says Eckerson.
Ryan Bouc says he's looking forward to the success of his paper that will arrive on newsstands twice a month.

The Magic are moving forward quickly now on their plans to build a $200-million entertainment district in Downtown Orlando across the street from Amway Center. Thursday, the team unveiled initial renderings and plans for the construction of the project.
The first phase of the project will knock down the parking lot directly across the street from Amway Center and build a large building with video screens wrapping around it. The building will be used for office space on the top floors and retail and restaurant space below.
The whole plan for the area, which will run across the street from Amway Center and eventually tear down the City of Orlando Police Department Headquarters going all the way back to the site of the new Orlando City Soccer stadium, is to model it after Memphis' Beale Street or Los Angeles' L.A. Live as a hub of activity and events throughout the year. Magic CEO Alex Martins said the plan is for the complex to be used 365-days of year and not just tied to Amway Center events.
The Amway Center and the Magic though are the ones driving this project. So there will be lots of Magic-centric events and Martins envisions it as party central for Playoff games and eventual championship celebrations.
One of the tenants, according to Mark Schlueb of the Orlando Sentinel, is sure to be Fox Sports Florida. They would have a small studio in the entertainment complex where they can broadcast pre- and postgame shows and other events. The Magic's team offices would also completely move from RDV Sportsplex in Maitland to this office building.
Again, the idea is to have it connect seamlessly with downtown Orlando and Church Street and be a place to hang out before and after events or on a normal night.
The whole thing is starting to come together.

Sponsored by the Rockford College Nursing Student Organization and Alpha Helix Science Club, a Be The Match Bone Marrow registry drive will be held on Wednesday, March 27, 12 – 4 p.m., and located at the Lion's Den, Rockford College, 5050 E. State Street.
According to the Rock River Valley Blood Center, 10,000 patients who need a life-saving marrow or blood cell transplant search for a donor every year. Leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening diseases can be cured with a marrow cell transplant, but only if there is a match. Patients in need of a marrow or blood cell transplant are most likely to match someone of their own race and ethnicity. Patients find matches in their own family 30 percent of the time. The rest of these patients look to the Registry. Most often marrow cells are donated from your arm in a procedure similar to donating plasma or platelets.
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) facilitates unrelated marrow and blood cell transplants as a single point of access for a long-standing collaborative network of national and international leading medical facilities in marrow and cord blood transplantation. The NMDP connects patients, doctors, donors and researchers to the resources they need to help more people live longer and healthier lives.

Re: No Handle to Tape
Nice solution. Long time friend over at Whiteblaze (Skidsteer) used a wool military glove for picking up hot pots. Wool resists burning...stinks a little when scorched :-)))
Glen has the best idea
Tom, I'll try the tape on a StarLyte and let you know. Are you interested in having it on the side or bottom? Glen, I like your solution....very nice!!!! Great photos!!!!

The CEO of Blood Assurance is starting a four-year term as Erlanger Health System's newest board member.
Rick Youngblood was appointed to the board by Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger and approved by the Hamilton County Commission last month.
"[Youngblood] has a knowledge of the hospital, and has served on other boards that are medically related," said Coppinger. "We thought he would be a great addition to the board."
Youngblood's appointment means the public hospital's 11-member board is filled for the first time after nearly a year of vacancies. The board was restructured by Hamilton County's delegation of lawmakers earlier this year.
"We have a lot of great hospitals in the area, but this one — the community needs it, and it's just an honor to serve on the board and help in whatever way I can," Youngblood said.
At last week's board meeting, Erlanger CEO Kevin Spiegel said that the complex health industry knowledge Youngblood will bring to the board is "indispensable."
