A Au-Ag-Pb-W-Cu-Zn (Hg-F) mining area located in T.20-23S., R.9-10E., in the Las Guijas and San Luis Mountains.
Mineralization is varied: (1) Spotty base and precious metal mineralization in irregular quartz and quartz-calcite fissure veins cutting partly metamorphosed Cretaceous sandstone, shale, conglomerate, minor limestone, and volcanics. Oxidation and enrichment by surface weathering produced local, high-grade gold and silver pockets; (2) Irregular quartz-filled fissure veins with spotty tungsten and base metal sulfides in Laramide granitic intrusive; and, (3) Small scattered gold and tungsten placer deposits
Workings include over 100 small mines and prospects have been worked since Spanish Colonial times but no large, sustained operations. Estimated and recorded production would amount to some 9,300 tons of ore containing about 3,600 oz. Au, 45,500 oz. Ag, 115 tons of Pb, 36 tons of Cu, 9 tons of Zn, and 250 tons of tungsten concentrates.

have resulted in improved care and outcomes for cancer patients. Mooney explained that the program's accomplishments over the past 50 years have been a result of the direct involvement of clinical investigators, patients, and their families in designing, conducting, and monitoring clinical trials. The early and ongoing involvement of patient advocacy communities in designing and conducting clinical trials has resulted in some of the most robust improvements in cancer treatment to date.
Because the NCI cooperative groups are not oriented to gaining regulatory approval for a new drug, as is the case in industry, they can take a broader, public focus and examine multiple types of research questions in one trial. This breadth of focus is significant with respect to the amount of useful research data that has been generated by going beyond the traditional primary endpoint of a trial. Mooney explained that the large amount of data collected in response to multiple research questions in NCI-sponsored trials can be extremely helpful in learning more about cancer and how to manage it effectively, but also makes some of the trials less pristine in terms of efficiency.
As the field of oncology has progressed over the last 50 years, the true diversity of the set of cancer diseases has been uncovered. Mooney explained that the new understanding of the molecular classification of cancer diseases has allowed a greater focus on particular treatments and patient populations. Thus, new sets of challenges in cancer clinical research have been created. Screening patients for particular molecular characteristics using tissue samples has introduced a new level of scientific and logistic complexity to clinical trials. Mooney explained that the search for rare patient subsets is one reason why clinical trials have become increasingly global—enough patients cannot be found in the United States.
Despite differences in research focus, the NCI system shares with industry and all medical disciplines the growing pressure to reduce research costs in the face of declining budgets. In response to this challenge, the NCI Clinical Trials Working Group was launched in 2004. This group is charged with developing recommendations and an implementation plan to optimize the NCI clinical trials system in five critical areas (Box 6-1).
Many issues and obstacles encountered in the clinical trial process are common across organizations that sponsor the research, whether government or industry. In terms of cost, Canetta noted six major drivers for industry-sponsored clinical trials in cancer:

are needed to learn about how use and acceptance of technologies evolves over time. The steering committee recommends support of such methodological work by the National Institute on Aging.
Many factors could potentially affect the acceptance and success of any new technology for older adults. The steering committee developed a list of such factors for consideration when applicable in each of the selected domains: access, cohorts, culture and language, customization, expectations, legal constraints, stereotyping, privacy, safety, training, trust, usability, and control, autonomy, and dignity.
Communication Exciting possibilities exist for new technologies to support older adults and their caretakers and to enable the maintenance of social contacts for those whose mobility is reduced. Technology developers must understand the special communication needs and the cognitive, affective, and sensory characteristics of older people and take these into account in developing technology for this population. Three major barriers impede communication with and for older adults: overaccommodation to aging, word retrieval, and multitasking; each has implications for the design of communication technology for older adults. Specific technologies of interest include "mobile communication and computing devices" or MCCDs, which can combine features currently available in mobile telephones, personal digital assistants, and more. The challenges involved in designing MCCDs to be acceptable to and usable by aging users include usability, the need for adaptive interfaces, and privacy concerns. Development of successful technology solutions will require cooperative work by technologists and behavioral and social scientists.
Employment Recent and predicted future changes in career and retirement patterns in American society and in the age-related demographics of the U.S. population have implications for the development of technological innovations. The size of the older population will increase rapidly as the baby boomers age, with a concomitant reduction in the proportion of younger adults. The research literature documents age-related changes in abilities and work performance, as well as in occupational trends. Technology has specific effects on work and especially on older workers, with significant differences in cohort responses to new technology. Technology can help older workers remain employed and maintain or upgrade their skills, as well as support the transition to retirement, through adaptive interfaces and other means of supporting computer input and output, software to provide planning and cueing assistance, and health monitoring devices. Research is needed on behavioral,

Michele Bachmann- Obama "Waving a Tar Baby in the Air"Posted by: Javier Manjarres on April 19, 2012
by Javier Manjarres
During our sit-down interview with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Bachmann skewered President Obama's energy policy and his farcical view of energy "independence."
Bachmann said that Obama doesn't know "zilch about the economy and what to do in the business world," and added that he didn't have "any background when he came in and has proved it over and over in spades."
Bachmann also said the Obama's recent Keystone XL pipeline proposal was a joke and that it was hypocritical of him to blame oil speculators. Bachmann explained that the President has every tool at his disposal to deal with speculators and "if there is a problem (with oil speculators) then President Obama is the problem for failing to utilize these tools that he has."
This is just about waiving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem. I have never seen a more irresponsible President who is infantile in the way that he continually blames everyone else for his failure to first diagnose the problem and second to address the problem. – Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann

Pretty sure you mean "waving", not "waiving."
WHY does anyone even bother to interview this woman who is CLEARLY mentally deficient.
The truth hurts sometimes.
I believe what's obvious is Odumbo's total incompetence!
Worse than Sara Palin. But there are idiots approving her rant.
Everytime Ms. Bachmann opens her mouth something really stupid comes out.
Dispute anything she says with facts. Oh, yeah, you can't.
you are sooooooooooooooo right because she is a ass hole
Careful, Michele. Using terms like "tar baby" in this environment is dangerous. I'm surprised cries of "Raciss!!" haven't been heard from the looney PC left yet.
Michele, you need to call for an investigation to look into the connection between the cancelation of the XL pipeline and Warren Buffett's investments in railroads that will now haul the crude. Could it be that the quid pro quo is the Feds looking the other way on the $1B in taxes Berkshire owes as well as his backing for the "Buffett Rule"?
History will testify that this is the most corrupt administration ever.
I stopped reading whatever you had to say after your misspellings of "Racist" and "Loony". Read a book sir.
"Raciss" was intentional in that I was attempting to alliterate the pronounciation most often used by those that shout it.
loon·y or loon·ey also lun·y (ln) Informal
adj. loon·i·er also lun·i·er, loon·i·est also lun·i·est
1. Extremely foolish or silly.
2. Crazy; insane.
n. pl. loon·ies also loon·eys or lun·ies
A foolish or crazy person.
I appreciate your use of "sir" when addressing your superiors.

As I recall, I read something somewhere that stated during 2010 Exxon Mobil made billions in profit and it was based on 1cent net profit per gallon of gas. Our current government charges us an average of about 60cents plus (varies per State) per gallon in taxes. I am not very good in math but who is the thief here? Interesting, huh?! I know, I know… it is the big oil companies that are crooks, right? People are really stupid and easily deceived by government!
Our Government is shutting down our refineries, coal plants, gas exploration, etc.. in the name of "saving our planet and clean energy". Oil is here to stay until it runs out, period. If we don't drill and provide our own oil, the rest of the world will continue to do so and don't give a crap about clean air or environment. What I don't get is, the US has the the best system and regulations for producing clean energy in the world (not perfect but the best). So why are we pushing to shut down our oil/fuel production while the rest of the world is increasing production and exploring more sourses of oil? You'd think it would be the other way around; encourage our "clean" oil production and demand other nations follow suit! Oh my bad, I forgot that votes and being re-elected is more important than our people's well being. Sorry for my stupidity!
Where were you in economics?
Whether the oil comes from here or anywhere else in the world, the price is the price.
Do you believe that the American oil companies, if we allowed them to drill and pump oil virtually anywhere in the USA, would then feel so generous towards towards Americans that they would discount the crude oil to us and lose out on profits?
Answer this, please, I have to know.
Ron Lexmore
The oil companies do not have to sell it to anyone cheaper. It will be cheaper just as natural gas is the lowest in at least 10 years BECAUSE (SEE IF YOU CAN GET THIS) THERE IS AN OVER SUPPLY. THAT READS TOO MUCH. Can you get it now? Drill lots of oil, build refineries, build nuclear plants, dig coal, develop solar, develop wind, all in the private sector. USPS, Amtrak, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Solindra, All Bankrupt when run by the government. SS isn't you say. It's been spent and IOU's for government bonds are in the VAULT, LOCK BOX, ETC..Ron Lexmore
Smart guy, the USPS is hurting because of the immense pension plan payments slapped on it in a conservative effort to kill it.
Why kill it? To cause unionized workers to lose their jobs, a typical republican ploy.
Now, tell me this, if we were to start producing gobs of oil, wouldn't OPEC just slow their pumping to keep prices high?
Any time the Iranians do something wacky the price skyrockets.
You all think you're so damn smart. Speculators will do anything to keep the prices high and make more money. They don't care how it effects you or me.
Goldman Sachs is a major speculator.
Arthur Rochlin
There are two issues you neglect. The first is that the cost of transportation is a part of the cost of oil and so local oil can be sold locally at a lower price without a reduction in profit. Assuming that the oil companies would not be better served by supplying the local market locally, there is the second issue and that is the effect on our deficit and balance of payments do to the import of foreign oil. The sale of oil produced domestically but sold outside of the country would be positive for our balance of trade, deficit, and general economy. Anyway you slice the cake more production domestically is economically positive for the United States. It increases worldwide supply, generates domestic jobs and economic activity and positively impacts our balance of trade and therefore, our debt. Probably tend to reduce the cost of gas at the pump as well.

Don. You're right about Perry and the ILLEGAL ALIEN issue. However, being a Texan, I've watched prtety boy Perry's political manuvering from day one, and he was a coward turncoat to the democraps when he saw the handwriting on the wall indicating that, in Texas, the democraps were HEADED OUT!He is a very good politician [liar who is keenly aware of what the people want to hear] and he lies, saying just what the people wanna hear. Perry IS A RINO pure and simple. Also he had the good luck to be blessed with good looks, and although forked, a silver tongue.On the in-state tuition and open border issues, Perry is EXACTLY LIKE John McCain, playing both ends against the middle, fishing for the Hispanic VOTE, by chumming em with the in-state tuition FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. He also gets a lot of Hispanic votes by only giving lip service to closing the border, but in actuality doing NOTHING toward closing it because that pleases more of the currently here [both legal Hispanic citizens, AND ILLEGAL ALIEN sympathisers].Also, by supporting anything that contributes to the illegal immigration MAGNET, he draws support from BUSINESSES [large AND SMALL] who want a large ILLEGAL ALIEN work force to enable SCOFFLAW EMPLOYERS to keep the wage levels LOW, AND have LOTS of cheap, easily ABUSED AND EXPLOITABLE LABOR.I say again, Perry IS A RINO, AND he's also a one world government er , AND in spite of the protestations of his supporters, he for some time has been either a part of the Bilderberg clique, or a suck-up to them.I pray that Perry does NOT get the GOP Presidential nomination, BUT IF he does, I will vote for him, OR WHOEVER the GOP selects and runs against obummer.Making obummer a one-term POTUS is SO IMPORTANT that ANYONE who IS NOT for obummer MUST VOTE for WHOEVER is the GOP nominee.A vote [or abstinsion (sp?)] for anyone OTHER THAN the GOP nominee IS A VOTE FOR obummer!!!!!
This President is a man who, at his core, hates the United States and everything we stand for. Therefore, he will do everything he can to destroy us.
Whatever else she said is going to get lost in her use the the words "tar baby". Could have easily left those words out and made her point. Maybe it was calculated to get the attention of the press, but she only helps the Democrats further the talking point that Republicans are just a bunch of RAAAAACISTS. Do Mitt a favor and stay away from reporters, okay?

Paul is absolutely correct. Those of you complaining about Bachmann's rant seem very poorly read, or poorly educated. No hate intended – but I know you certainly aren't economics majors, and I am fairly sure you have never looked into the true cost of oil production and don't have any idea what the "HUGE PROFITS" are that the oil companies make as a percentage of sales, nor do you care. This is because you are ideological drones (liberal automatons) controlled by the likes of Chris Matthews – you rail against thing you don't understand, then complain when you destroy something of value for all of us. Who do you think will do less ecological damage drilling, pumping and transporting oil – the U.S. or China? So you opt to send the dirtiest oil to China to be burned into the planet's atmosphere. Thanks. For nothing. And I am fairly certain that you don't know or understand the "tar baby" reference – of course, your hero, Al Sharp-less-ton will think Bachmann's trying to burn him at the stake with it….
It's you who does not understand how speculative investment in oil and Isreal's war mongering against Iran and profiteering by Saudi Arabia and oil companies drive the price of oil upwards.

The most ignorant of comments are the ones that claims she's stupid and mentally unstable. I won't even bother to point out her education and jobs she's had, not to mention the fact that she's raised in excess of 20 foster kids besides her own. These morons that make such comments are the kind of people that talk other people down to elevate themselves.
I'm not a fan of hers, but I can't stand ignorant dumba$$es!

Steve you are right. Any conservative women i.e. Ann Romney, Sarah Palin, is ignorant according to the left. The lame stream media hop all over everything that they say. Have they every listen to Nancy "we won't know whats in it until we pass it" Pelosi or Debbie "Big Mouth" Shultz the force behind the Hilary Rosen (member of the DNC) who said that stay at home moms have no clue about economics.
Lady, Mrs. Palin PROVED it.
Ms. Rosen did not say that stay at home moms have no clue about economics.
Michelle….you are right on. Please keep up the fight to get reason and common sense back into our government and into the budget process. Best of luck on your re-election to Congress….we need you to keep doing what you have been doing.

The Tar-Baby is a character in the second of the Uncle Remus stories; it is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.
In modern usage according to Random House, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional contact.

If Michele Bachmann is a racist for using the term Tar Baby then does that make anyone she endorses a racist. Didn't Michele Bachmann endorse Joe Kaufman for Congress? Is he now a racist? Has Joe Kaufman come out against this racist dirt bag. Karen Harrington and Ozzie DeFaria should stay as far away from Michele Bachmann as quickly as possible.

hells littlest angel
Yes, I live in a progressive "hellhole", with low unemployment, sane gun laws, decent public schools, and a non-criminal governor.
Bachman makes some good points. We have investigated the speculators 7 times of recent history and found no wrong doing. If the president had opened up the federal lands (not parklands) but other federal lands with oil, we could have increased production by at least 4 million bbl per day instead of 1.5 million bbl per day.
If the EPA would streamline refinery permitting we could in 3 to 5 years greatly increase our refining capacity.
If we had approved the Keystone XL pipeline, there would not have been a article in the 4/13 WSJ that Canada is spending $5 billion to extend a pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia to more than double their exports to Asia. We could be buying this oil.
Bachman, as she often does uses a poor choice of words which some could construe as rasist. Of course this is wording from a story told by a former slave to a famous childrens author well over 100 years ago. But, this JoelChandler/Uncle Remus quote from "Briar Rabbit" (sic?) hits the impact of the truth about our president's horrible energy policy.

After listening to Ms Bachman wax eloquent on the subject of energy policy,I applaud her grasp of the situation, but lament the snide way in which she chided our President. The Good Book teaches us to have respect for those in authority over us(ex.Romans 13:1-8). I too have great differences with our President politically, but I endeavor to pray for wisdom from above for him daily as he has perhaps the most difficult job in the world. He would not be where he is but for the Providence of God.
I realize many who read these posts might think I'm being too idealistic, or even foolish to believe as I do,but I would sincerely ask, what is the alternative? Are we to continue to heep scorn and acrimony on each other as I have read so many doing in these very responses? Or will we listen to the"better angels of our nature" and engage in serious, considerate dialogue over the many complex issues in our world? I vote for the latter.

I Didn't Run Ads In Florida – LIAR, you allowed national ads to run 8-12 times per day for two weeks – and you still lost.32.) I Won Michigan – LIAR, no you didn't.33.) I won Nevada – LIAR, no you did not.34.) I Want All Votes To Count – LIAR, you said let the delegates decide.35.) I Want Americans To Decide – LIAR, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.36.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate – LIAR, you passed 26, most of which you didn't write yourself.37.) My Campaign Was Extorted By A Friend – LIAR, that friend is threatening to sue if you do not stop saying this. Obama has stopped saying this.38.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics – LIAR, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.39.) I Don't Take PAC Money – LIAR, you take loads of it.40.) I don't Have Lobbyists – LIAR, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.41.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad – LIAR, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.42.) My Campaign Never Took Over MySpace – LIAR, Tom, who started MySpace issued a warning about this advertising to MySpace clients.43.) I Inspire People With My Words – LIAR, you inspire people with other people's words.44.) I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate – LIAR, you have passed A BILL in the U.S. Senate – for Africa, which shows YOUR priorities.45.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq – LIAR, you weren't in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be out gutting you Obama. You also seem to be stepping back from your departure date – AGAIN.46.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care – LIAR, your plan leaves us all to pay the 15,000,000 who don't have to buy it.47.) I Only Found Out About My Investment Conflicts Via Mail – LIAR, both companies you site as having sent you letters about this conflict have no record of any such letter ever being created or sent.48.) I Am As Patriotic As Anyone – LIAR, you won't wear a flag pin and you don't put your hand over your heart during the Anthem.49.) My Wife Didn't Mean What She Said About Pride In Country – LIAR, your wife's words follow lock-step in the vein of Wright and Farrakhan, in relation to their contempt and hatred of America.50.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn't Support – LIAR, your wife has received nearly a quarter of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart.51.) Treehouse Is A Small Company – LIAR, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair – LIAR, your wife's pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!53.)I Barely Know Rezko – Only 5 Billed Hours – LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko's wife buys the lot beside it that you can't afford, saving you $625,000.54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly – LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it's $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church – LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time – LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message – hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK – that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko – LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright's, that have been in videos all day, You Tube – LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said "Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did."59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! – LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS – You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton's and McCain's more than a year before!60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning – LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS – He also seems to despise America.61.) My wife didn't mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase – LIAR. Again, Michelle's comments perfectly sync with Wright's, Meeks', and Farrakhan's, both in language, anger, and direction.62.) I am very Anti-Terror – LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS – Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto – guess you weren't there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.

Häufige Fragen an uns
Do you have to use CRBasic to program the CR1000? On the CR5000 and CR9000 units you can program these units with PC9000 software. Does such a software exist for the CR1000?
Short Cut for Windows is a free program generator for Campbell Scientific dataloggers including the CR1000. More information can be found at http://www.campbellsci.com/scwin
If I download some data to my PC, the resultant "CR1000_Table1.dat" file is, for example, 150Kb in size. Is 150Kb necessarily its size on the CR1000? Is there any type of data compression being used?
The CR1000 stores data in a binary format (1s and 0s) which is very compact. Campbell Scientific software, such as LoggerNet, collects the data in a this binary format and converts it to a readable format such as ASCII. The CR1000's Status Table contains information regarding how memory is allocated for data storage. One way to access this information is through LoggerNet's Connect Screen | Tools | View Station Status. The second tab lists the tables in the datalogger, along with the number of records in the table and the estimated time that the table will fill.
Where can example programs for CR1000 be found?
The CRBasic help contains example program code for all instructions in the datalogger. Look for the Example link at the top of each instruction topic. Additionally, the CRBasic instruction list can be filtered by instruction type by choosing, for example, the SerialI/O subset of instructions.
What is the overall length of the CR1000 (including screw tabs) when the compact flash module CFM100 is added to the wiring panel/interface of the CR1000?
CR1000 Dimensions with CFM100 or NL115
>> this information should also be added to the ecatalog CR1000, CFM100 and NL115 pages.
The CR1000 wiring panel shows four Serial Input/Output ports on C1-C8. Do these Serial I/O ports provide the same functionality as the SDM-SIO4 module did on a CR10X or CR23X datalogger?
The CR1000 can handle strings as a specific data type. It has built-in serial communications capabilities on the 1) four control port pairs COM1 (C1 Tx / C2 Rx) through COM4 (C7 Tx / C8 Rx), 2) RS-232 port, and 3) CSI/O port with the appropriate interface device. The serial I/O capabilities of the CR1000 are similar to and faster than the SDM-SIO4 capabilities on a CR10X or CR23X. SDM devices are addressable and are connected to a datalogger on C1 through C3. Therefore, one benefit of using multiple SDM devices on a CR1000 datalogger is that only three control ports will be used.
Why can't I remotely load an OS to my CR1000 from my Dell D600 laptop?
This issue occurs only with the D600 laptop and is solved by updating the D600's Ethernet driver from the Dell website. This problem would also affect the CR3000 and CR800 series dataloggers.
I need to write a simple program that will read two analog channels (0-10 Vdc).
The CR1000 can measure analog voltages in the +/- 5 Vdc range. A voltage divider such as the VDIV2.1 is required to reduce 10 Vdc to an acceptable range. See the VDIV10.1/VDIV2.1 manual for examples of wiring and programs. Alternatively, a basic CR1000 program can be generated using Short Cut for Windows. In Short Cut, from the Generic Measurements folder, choose either Differential Voltage or Single-Ended Voltage.
How can the CR1000 build a text string and send it out the RS-232 port?
Sending a serial string out one of the CR1000 COM ports will require at least two instructions. Generally, the SerialOpen instruction is used to set up the communication port, such as 115.2k, N, 8, 1. The instructions SerialOut or SerialOutBlock can be used to transmit a specified string. See the CRBasic help for examples of programs using each of these instructions.
What would it take to allow the CR1000 to be wireless?
It depends on what you mean by wireless. Using telecommunications peripherals, the CR1000 can communicate with remote computers. Examples of "wireless" telecommunication options include: cellular telephone, licensed and spread spectrum radios and satellite communications. Additionally, our Ethernet interfaces allow the CR1000 to access, or be accessed by, the Internet or internal Local Area Networks.
These links allow the user to access remotely the datalogger's real-time data, stored data, and programming. Users can combine two telecommunication options. Popular telemetry options that can be combined include Ethernet-to-UHF/VHF radio, multidrop-to-spread spectrum radio, phone-to-multidrop, ethernet-to-multidrop, and phone-to-UHF/VHF radio.
Can the CR1000 measure 4-20mA signals?
Yes. A CURS100 is used to convert a current signal (e.g. 4 to 20 mA) output by a sensor to a voltage that can be measured by the CR1000. The 100 ohm resistor used for the current shunt allows currents up to 50 mA to be read on a ±5000 mV range.
Can the CR1000 provide alarms?
Yes. The CR1000 is fully programmable to output alarms. The CR1000 can initiate telecommunications such as sending an email or text message, providing audible voice synthesized information, or by calling a pager. The CR1000 can also activate physical alarms such as sirens and strobes. In this type of installation, a relay device, such as the A6REL-12, is typically used to send a control signal to the alarm device.
Can the CR1000 communicate over TCP/IP?
Yes. The NL115 allows the CR1000 to communicate over a local network or a dedicated Internet connection via TCP/IP.
Is there a way to convert my CR10X program files to CR1000 program files?
Yes. We have created a software application, Transformer, to help you migrate your CR10X program files to CR1000 program files. Transformer is available within LoggerNet 3.0. From the Windows Start Menu, navigate to LoggerNet3.0 | Utilities| Transformer.
I'm receiving a security code error from your software, but my CR1000 doesn't have security set. What do I do?
If you see the error message "The security code was not recognized by the station" in LoggerNet, or "Unable to send the program. Invalid security code" with PC4000, you may need to update your datalogger support software.
Using a CR1000 running Operating System Version Std.04 or later, the problem may be that LoggerNet or PC400 is interpreting the response from the datalogger incorrectly. Confirm that your new datalogger program is in your CR1000; typically you can update the table definitions and go on. Newer versions of LoggerNet and PC400 software resolve this problem. Please visit our downloads page to obtain the latest patch.

In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)
Integrated infotainment systems in automobiles that deliver entertainment and information content. In-Vehicle Infotainment, or IVI, development has been spurred largely by Intel and its Atom processor, Microsoft and its Windows Embedded Automotive 7 platform, and a number of automobile manufacturers.
In-Vehicle Infotainment systems are currently available in select automobiles from manufacturers like Ford (SYNC and MyFord Touch), Toyota (Entune), Kia Motors (UVO), Cadillac (CUE) and Fiat (Blue&Me). IVI systems frequently utilize Bluetooth technology and/or smartphones to help drivers control the system with voice commands, touchscreen input, or physical controls.
While each IVI system is different, typical tasks that can be performed with an in-vehicle infotainment system include managing and playing audio content, utilizing navigation for driving, delivering rear-seat entertainment such as movies, games, social networking, etc., listening to incoming and sending outgoing SMS text messages, making phone calls, and accessing Internet-enabled or smartphone-enabled content such as traffic conditions, sports scores and weather forecasts.

The mayor announced earlier this month an unprecedented city program to farm out home repair work in storm-ravaged areas to general contractors. He promised a "rapid response" to get people back in their homes, but some Queens homeowners who have signed up for the program say it is not fast enough. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
The Kearns family is surviving on Beach 92nd Street in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens without any heat. The water from Hurricane Sandy poured into their basement and now they are also out of hot water.
"It's not rapid. We haven't heard from anybody and we signed up right away," said Steve Kearns, one of the family members.
Earlier this month, the Kearns signed up for a new program touted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg on November 9.
In his announcement, the mayor said, "Today we are launching a program that will begin returning people to their homes as early as next week. We are calling it New York City Rapid Repairs."
The response for some homeowners, like the Kearns, has not been as rapid as they hoped.
"So we are waiting to see them November 26, so we don't know if we are coming or going right now," said Dotsy Kearns.
Rapid Repairs promises to get people back in their homes with electricity and heat faster than if homeowners went at it alone. The city plans to flood neighborhoods with contractors to bring blocks like this back to life. Residents in the Rockaways who were some of the first to sign up said on Tuesday they were waiting for answers and repairs.
"Once the form came up. I typed my information in, my FEMA number. That's the last I've heard of it. Nobody has called. Nobody has come by," said Matt Lyons, who lives across the street from the Kearns. "The time is ticking because it's getting cold right now, and people don't have what they need to survive down here."
City officials say the program promises to be a success, as 6,000 people have signed up.
"We will have crews on the ground as early as today actually making repairs based on those assessments. From our perspective, this is pretty fast," Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway said on Tuesday.
Those leading the contracting effort also say these things take time.
"Any response is a poor response until my home gets fixed up. But I would ask people to be patient," said Louis Coletti of the Building Trades Employers' Association.
Residents of the Rockaways say it is difficult for their lives to get back to normal, until they get the "Rapid Repairs" the city promised. For now, some of them will just be waiting.

Sanderson High art teacher Jeannette Stevenson got a surprise when she found a former student sang about her in a sandwich shop's video contest. Josh Sinclair, Sanderson Class of 2003, won the contest and the grand prize of $1000 for both teacher and former student. The contest required a video to "honor the school teacher who made a meaningful difference in your life via an original song, performing a rap, a funny or heartfelt testimonial, or however you wish to showcase your passion through video."
Stevenson describes Sinclair's song as an awesomely original melodic rap. He raps that her style was fresh like a Lenny's tomato and she piled on knowledge like Lenny's piles on the meat. In his refrain, he sings," Ms. Stevenson, I am your biggest fan. Let me buy you a sandwich." He raps that the most important thing she taught was to do your best and love unconditionally.
Sinclair entered the contest on the Lenny's Sub Shop Facebook page this month. The franchise operates in the southeast U.S. and has restaurants in N.C. in Charlotte and Asheville.
Thanks to Jeannette Stevenson for sharing this story.

Tsunami relief | One year later, football remembers Sumatrans
Banda Aceh, Indonesia | Football's connection to the tsunami one year ago today is perhaps best represented by Martunis, the boy who, at 7, kept himself alive for 19 days by eating berries and drinking puddle water in his village of Alun Naga, near the provincial capital. That he was wearing the red-and-green Portugal jersey when rescued made him a poster child for football's relief efforts following the disaster. He attended a World Cup qualifier in Lisbon, collected a check and now is being tutored for a role in an Indonesian soap opera.
Lest the aftermath sound like a fairy tale, however, Martunis's mother, brother and sister died when the wave struck, and organized football in this northern tip of Sumatra has ceased. The wave left only the goalposts standing in 15,000-capacity Lampineung Stadium, home to Persiraja of the Indonesian first division. Damage increased when the stadium was selected as a staging area for relief operations. Yet partly due to a $10.5 million Tsunami Solidarity Fund administered by FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation, Persiraja and two other Aceh-area teams hope to return to the national competitions in February 2006. The funds also assist redevelopment in Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Thailand, where plans exist for the Tsunami Memorial Football Center.

Hello everyone.
I need assistance.
I am opening a chocolate company mostly selling truffles and maybe bars later (when I can do bean to bar (: which I am excited for!). I have a rev2 tempering machine, which is a great machine, but when I fill the molds, I cant just tip the mold over and dump the excess chocolate out into the machine (to make shells for filling) because the machine is so small. Its also a pain to fill the molds with a spoon and OMG does my current process make the biggest mess you could imagine. A 2 year old's chocolate dream actually.
So, I have decided that I need a bigger machine (bigger than my molds), with a dispenser OR a wheel. I like the wheel design that just makes a little fountain for you to fill the mold, then I can dump the excess right back into the chocolate supply.
Does anyone have any advice? I am willing to spend the money, but I am still learning and developing this small business. I absolutely love chocolate and and 100% confident that I will be successfull, so I am willing to pay, but I dont want to get suckered by some site with incredible markup prices.
I dont necessarily need a 40lb capacity, but should I spring for one anyways? What do you guys/girls think? I need expert advice.
Also, I do not have a shop. I am learning all this in my apartment. (1200 sq ft.) but dont mind a big machine. I use Cacao Barry (wish I could afford the Valrhona). I live in Colorado. Not sure what else to say. I wana make sure you have all the details needed.
Thank you!!!!!!!

Another note; All I can seem to find is the TF20.... but I dont understand how the wheel attachment could possible cost another $1400!!!??? just for the wheel? What is so amazing that makes the wheel so pricy. I mean... I NEED the wheel, so is it just demand? They know Ill pay? Is there a cheaper way to go than paying $4000 for this? If not, I will pay it, but just wana shop first.
Thank you for your help! Is there a particular savage that you recomend?
OMG.... I just looked at the savage molding workstation and it quoted at $16,000. That is so so so far out of my price range right now. Am I looking at the wrong thing? You have three?
Perfect Equipements out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada has a great entry level wheel machine. http://www.perfectinc.com/air-2.html
If you don't want to spend that much, consider a Mol d'Art melter for now (or the Italian melters - don't remember their names...). It will be less than $1000 and you can easily dump your molds into it. The only difference between that and a wheel machine is capacity and you have to stir every now and then - no biggie. Also, they come up for sale second hand more than the others. Here's a link to the Mol d'Art site but they are sold by other co.'s in the US http://www.moldart.be/chocolate_melters Remember, the prices on the website I linked are in Euro! Actually, here is the Chef Rubber site that has both the Mol d'Art and the other melters I believe... http://www.shopchefrubber.com/home.php?cat=1491
I would advise not to get ahead of yourself with equipment if you are just starting out. You'll get a much clearer idea of what you need once you've been at it for awhile.
Good luck with your research!
Thank you so much Ruth and Lana. I cant beleive how easy it is to get great professional advice on this site! You both have really given me some stuff to think about. The machines that Ruth recommended are a little above my level (I am still getting this operation started and I am Active Army working 50+ hours a week) :/ , but I hope I can get machines like those in the future! I really like the Perfect Equipments idea though!!! That was exactly what I was looking for. They quoted the Air-2 at $3275, which I can do. I was hoping to stay around $3500 or below, so with shipping it will fall right around there. The melter would be so much easier to purchase though... I guess I am going to have to choose.
I have a few questions though;
1. Can I temper the chocolate in the melter by adjusting the temp knob up, then back down, do the seeding, etc., or would I have to temper with my Rev2 and just dump it in the warmer?
2. When the chocolate is tempered and in the warmer, will it stay tempered as long as the temperature is right? How often would I have to stir it? (Not that its hard) (:
3. Does the wheel temperer (the Air-2) actually temper automatically like the Rev2 by raising and lowering the temperature?
Sorry for so many questions. I couldnt begin to tell you how much I appreciate your help though!
Hi Klassy,
To answer your questions:
1) Yes, you can temper right in the melter as you stated. I have been using Mol d'Art melters for years. It takes me no time at all to temper. If you ever takes classes at any Callebaut Academy you will usually use the Mol d'Art melters.
2) Unfortunately, the chocolate will continue to get thicker the longer it is held in temper in the Mol d'Art. During busy times I hand dip about 600 pieces a day. I can keep the temper without a problem for what I have to do. You use a heat gun and play with the temp. as needed. If you have a larger melter it will keep the temper better. You will find that tempered chocolate in a wheel tempering machine will continue to thicken as well - 'tis the nature of the beast! However it will do so to a lesser degree as it is being 'stirred' continuously and has a much larger volume of chocolate. I don't stir that often when I am dipping in my Mol d'Art. Maybe every 10 minutes I give it a swirl. When I'm molding it gets stirred more often to incorporate the 'cooled' dump back into the warmer chocolate.
3) No, the Air-2 does not temper automatically. As with the Mol d'Art melters, you are in control. Once you temper on your own a few times, it becomes second nature and you can do it without any problems at all.
I'd second the Mol d'art - large enough to dump the chocolate back into. It's easy to learn to temper in them - and as Lana says you can use a heat gun and a bit of temperature adjustment to keep the chocolate fluid enough to work with.
Thank you so much everyone! You all have such great advice. It is invaluable to me and I appreciate it very much. I do remember watching a whole lot of videos to learn and they were always using those Mol d'Arts. I will probably get one of those. They are so much cheaper too.
Thanks again!!!
Yes, the difference in price is due to shipping. You'll find that shipping from Europe is very expensive. I ordered mine from Europe but a bunch of us ordered as a group so it really cut down on shipping costs. I've dealt with Chef Rubber quite a bit in the past - but not for equipment. I'm sure they will provide good service though. Another option is www.dr.ca I've purchased lots of equipment from them and they ship to the US a lot.
You'll have to shop around and see who has the best price. Find your best price and then contact the co. you want to deal with and show them that you can get it cheaper. Usually they will match.
Good luck!
Hi Lana,
How do you temper chocolate in the Mol d'Art melters? Do you seed the melted chocolate? Do you agitate the chocolate often? Or do you just let the chocolate melt to 32C (for dark chocolate) without seeding at all?
Hi Klassy,
What tempering machine did you finally buy? How do you like it?

SallyKitt "Action is the antidote to despair" - Joan Baez
On jury duty the past couple of days, I always took the stairs… Up and down 4 floors from the jury assembly room to the courtroom. Something like 177 steps. I'm a counter. But I kept getting interrupted. The weird thing is that it was a square spiral staircase and none of the flights had the same numbers of stairs.

Dr Mary Wack (Washington State University)
Read Mary's Blog – roevalleyancestors.org
Dr. Mary Wack is Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and Dean, University College, Washington State University. A native of the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Wack received bachelor's degrees summa cum laude in English and Classics from Georgetown University. Following a Fulbright year at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, she completed a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies (emphasis in literature) at Cornell University.
Dr. Wack was hired in 1993 as Professor of English and Chair of the department at Washington State University. From 2000–2007 she served as Dean of the University Honors College. During 2005-07 she served in the Provost's Office as Director of Undergraduate Education, and became Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education in 2007. She became Acting Director of General Education in 2009. With the founding of the University College in late 2009, she became its first Dean in 2010.
Dr. Wack has been awarded many research grants over the years. When she inherited some documents and photos from the daughter of a Roe Valley emigrant (Leeke and Ballymonie townlands), she shifted her research interests to the 19th-century social history of the area. A series of articles in The Winding Roe, Familia, and talks at national Irish Studies conferences in the United States draw on a variety of public and private sources to shed new light on the area's history. These studies have brought her into contact with a far-flung RoeValley diaspora, many of whom are actively researching such families as Ferguson, MacLurg, McFeely, Murrell, McCloskey (many), Farren, Campbell, Osborne, McCausland, O'Kane/Cain, Hasson, McGrellis, and so on.
While the Roe area has been blessed with many works of parish history and some excellent local histories, a detailed scholarly account of the life of the ordinary inhabitants in past centuries awaits to be written. Fortunately, the Ordnance Survey Memoirs for the Roe Valley are of unparalleled richness for this purpose. Existing academic scholarship has approached the Memoirs largely as folklore, or more recently, from the point of view of post-colonial theory. Neither approach focuses on individual informants in their historical reality, or on their stories as historical testimonies. Dr. Wack's book in progress, Memoir, Story, History: Roe Valley Studies from the Ordnance Survey Memoirs, seeks to give voice to silent (or silenced) ancestral generations by probing stories told by or about named individuals, and by recreating the social and economic context in which these individuals lived and from which many of them emigrated.

We went for a little road trip today. Mr C had to visit some stores for business and he took us along for the ride. Whippee! First stop, Target. Now, many Americans can't understand why alot of Canucks go wild for this store. Seriously, it's a design-oriented Wal-Mart, non? In fact, I used to design bedding and packaging for Target stores. It is a seriously hard store to get your products into. In any case, there is no Target to be found in our province. Hence the Target mania.
In any case, it's been a while since I set foot in Target. Well, since 2 summers ago in California. I wanted 2 things specifically: this Dwell Studio Marrakesh coverlet for our guest room and/or this Dwell Studio for kids Bird in Tree bedding for Keira's room. Both of which weren't available at that particular Target store. There were 2 other choices I was going to go for.. but I just couldn't make up my mind. So I ended up with these:
I actually managed to buy myself a shirt! Wow. But the rest of my purchases were all for Keira. Specifically, I was looking for shorts/skorts for summer. Again, either I will have to buy 2 sizes too small for her and risk having them fit at the waist but being super short shorts or I'm going to have to start sewing and adjusting the ones I buy. Which I actually have to do. Thank goodness they're elastic waist band. Still, either I fatten this kid up or just get used to my sewing machine. I was also looking for sandals for her but of course, too wide. She really does have skinny feet! Just like me.
We ended up at Michael's and Borders as well. Let me tell you, it is dangerous to shop with the Keikster. Dangerous! She didn't whine, she didn't yell, she didn't have a fit nor did she drop to the floor with super tantrums... she just calmly tried to convince me why she wants or needs that or this item (although about 3 weeks ago, I didn't buy her something at Provigo and she did a super pout and almost had a fit). She is a smart little chicky. After having told her that I have no more money she said, "okay.... but how about Papa?"

It is known as the battle of Pennsylvania.
Tonight marks the start of the Flyers and Penguins sixth playoff series against each other. In the five series these teams have met so far the Flyers hold the edge in series victories 3-2
Although Philadelphia is known as the "city of brotherly love" they don't seem to share any with their state cousins. Apart from their geographical proximity these two sport city rivals couldn't be more different.
Or is that the case?
Both cities have had similar success in the NHL
Pittsburgh boasted Lemieux in the 80's while the Flyers looked to Lindros in the 90's
The Flyers were dominant in the 70's (Stanley Cup winners 73-74, 74-75) whereas the Penguins were dominant in the 90's (Stanley Cup winners 90-91, 91-92)
The rivalry between these two cities will no doubt continue for many years with bragging rights alternating back and forth. After all, familiarity breeds animosity. Despite the rivalry amongst these two cities they do share a common history.
Philadelphia's path to the NHL started in Pittsburgh.
In 1967 the Flyers and Penguins were added to the NHL's "Original six" teams making up the "next six" as part of an expansion phase. But their time in the NHL dates back further than that.
Pittsburgh joined the NHL in 1925 as the seventh team. They were aptly called the Pittsburgh Pirates, a nickname they shared with the baseball team also based in Pittsburgh.
They wore Black and Gold. Colours they adopted from the "flag of Pittsburgh".
The team operated for five years without much success on the ice and off suffering from low attendance and large debts they eventually sold the team in 1928 to ex-boxer Benny Leonard. Leonard changed their familiar Black & Gold to a new colour scheme of Black & Orange. They operated only one more season before they were promptly relocated to Philadelphia re-emerging under their new nickname the Philadelphia Quakers.
The Quakers only played one season before they too folded.
Both cities returned to the NHL in 1967.
In April 2012 we watch these two cities, these two teams that are forever joined and forever rivals.

Great article!
Wow what a great well written article. I think I might actually watch the series now as this has made it a lot more interesting for me.
What a history! Well written. The article makes the matchup series something really to look forward to now.
Great Article! The history of these two teams definitely adds more suspense to the series match up in my opinion.
I didn't know much of that, it's cool to find out. I can't wait for the results of this matchup!
Hey, good article, i've been a fan of the Flyers for my whole life, they're playing much better lately. Can't wait to see the head to head action these playoffs.
That is a cool bit of History I did not know
