discrete output for single tda1543
hi i wanna make a simple output stage for a single 1543 using audiogd's opa earth discrete module. any suggestions? thx

allow me to rephrase myself- is the 1543 datasheet output a sensible enough design to follow?
im wanting an all in one solution where i can have an active out that can double as a headphone amp in my bedroom

You must have a current to voltage converter. Why don't you check the datasheet of the TDA1543 and choose a good opamp? The audiogd's opa earth would't be my first choice. I would choose a new ultra high performance opamp.

Hi PreSapian,
Why not use the easy to do 1543's output design of John - ECdesigns -
Just few component (no dc coupling cap, no opa...) cheaper than benchmark many expensive opa, discretes and shunts to powersupply them. (keep them for an another project).
You have the opportunity with the 1543 to do without all these things if you want.
Search in his famous ultimate thread, there is a shematic.

i'm having a bit of fun with 1543 iterations now a days.
i built an overkill version of cmoy with opa-earth for the buffer/headphone amp of my 1543 and though it does take away the nuisance, the dynamic does benefit a lot for the single chip board.
of which, i'm powering with a nicad battery. i also have a couple of 10 chip boards made- one is 317 regulated, the other teddyreg.
teddyreg does sound more refined but the bass is less.
i did also try john's passive output but scapped it after realizing it took away too much of finer detail- i guess less is more is especially applicable to tda1543 implementations.
i'm now itching to try differential output version and a shunt regulator.
am thinking of piecing together a zener regulator this week just to see if it will have any positive attributes.

Hi presapian,
I had a good result with the TDA1543 with this :
tda1543 with just an OS-CON SP 220 uf (not 1uf in // with mkt, etc) for I/V,
then an old JRC OP that works well here: NJM 4580D(x), the caps are very important here : old nichicon Vx 100 uf that you find in old philips CD players, I don't know why better caps doesn't work better here,
then a passive low pass filter façon Marantz in their old players, then
then 2 OPA GD Sun with 2 Silmic 100 uf by OP for the two rails on it, you can use shunt here if you want,
then DC blockers, i use old nichicon bipolar muse that better than the newer::: the older of the 90s' are very better, you can use too 10 uf KP, PP, lundhal if you have it, but muses are enough with this low budget conf,
to me it dramaticaly sings if you respect the choosen caps... better than a Luxman 105 d with tubes I found in public garbadge 2 weeks ago...
I prefer most of the time a black Nichicon Z muse caps for power than silmic 2.
It's just the 50 cents classical humble empirical opinion of my hears,

thanks Eldam, sounds like a worthy mod to try.
surprising that you liked os-con for decoupling- many have experienced (me including) that they sound harsh in analogue path. perhaps that's not an issue in this location.
have you ever tried mundorf mlytic for that location? 100uf bypassed with a russian pio 0.1uf gave me the most pleasant sound out of all the other config i tried- 220uf bg std, 100uf silmic1 (and 2)+ mundorf supreme 0.1uf, and even a jantzen crosscap 47uf. mlytic is also the biggest electrolytic cap i've seen. i could only acquire the raw version but plain is suppose to be even bigger and better performing.
ultimately i want to try a tube output but i want to fiddle with power supply some more to determine if 1543 can be made good enough. but i suppose a dc coupled 1543 with a minimal trace length to a tube pre serves the same goal.

Hi Presapian,
In fact I just talk about OS Con for the local decoupling cap of the TDA1543.
The same for the others caps I talked about:local decoupling. I don't talk of the main powersupply of these stages which win (of course) to be separate.
Note that I talk about an empirical & particular configuration for the TDA 1543.
So the old blue VX nichicon caps serie for the I/V is just for the JRC NJM4580D(x) (which was used for head speakers...) and the Silmic 2 for the OPA GD Sun (which is ok at 12 V, Burson for example need 15 to 16 V for singing).
if I talk about "most of the time situation" : I'm agree with you for Silmic (1) which softness can save sometimes too. I heard that silmic was a special ask of Marantz to Elna for the bypassing of their CD players outputstages... Don t know if it's true or not.
I don't like ol black gates, even BG NX (in digital) that a experienced engineer like Jean-Paul (for example) likes (and I think he tried a lot because he gives a lot of time...to time for trying many confs). But agree with him when he prefers Nichicon Z muse to silmic 2...most of time.
I don't benchmark new OS-CON technologie with their famous old one (out of production) because both are hard to genuine source. I saw that Thorsten seems to use the old one in his last AMR Cd player (the velvet caps on the motherboard (not the blue ones easier to source...). But I will try the last Nichicon polymere caps whic have the lowest ESR for digital but I surmise that the ESR is not the single fact of the good result of os-con in digital stage (maybe snake oil?).
I will try M-lytic like you already wrote to me for power stages, they are easy to source cause made by our neighbours friends of Germany.
About tubes: I surmise that it's easier to have good result because their use is well known and documented but I think it's possible to live without them... I will be happy to change my mind if I am wrong here, no problem.
I want to play with analog Low pass filters, in fact I ask myself if it's the only way to seriously tune a digital stage to make it sings ????
Happy you give us your results and you play with this little TDA1543 chips.

current state of things- single
battery 1543, jantzen crosscap 47uf decoupling, ohmite resistors and i2s from simple lm317 regulated waveio. yesterday i matched it with a b1 buffer
i put together overnight and the sound is sublime. with b1 the lost bass is back along with greater drive, clarity. i was looking into trying out 20x1543 but instead rather would go full battery power on b1. 1543 is fun but b1
is simply amazing!

After the B1 you can maybe use the CEN or SEN... known to be good but I never heard it;
Before the B1 which cap did you use with the John's TDA1543 output stage ? Use here may be two smd 1uf Cornel Dublier used by John with the big 470 uf Silmic 2 for the lost details you talked about... tell me please. May be the layout ? I say 2x1uF because I read somewhere that the theory is 5 to 10% of the main value to avoid resonance...but I'm not a technician, check it before but you have to try. I use the empirical method!
I have sometimes this problem with Silmic2 : awsome bass but lack of details in relation to a nichicon Z muse cap!!!!! oups the M-lytic...I forget !
I see you are at the beginning of a great quest with the TDA1543: I don't know if you read that ( you can apply most of the advise of the TDA1541 to the 1543 ):

Eleanora of Austria, Queen of France (1498-1558)
Eleanora of Austria (1498-1558), sister of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, was betrothed to Francis I as part of the Peace of Cambrai following the French king's defeat at the battle of Pavia (24 February 1525). This portrait by van Cleve was probably painted by the artist in France. The Spanish inscription on the letter in Eleanora's hand helps with the dating of the painting, as it identifies her as the 'most Christian Queen', a papal title granted to her as Queen of France, thereby indicating a date after her coronation in 1531. There are many versions of this portrait, including a good example in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, but the present work is larger and of higher quality.
The artist employs shadows in the background, lending weight to the sitter's presence and a dramatic quality to the painting. It is a state portrait of a dignified monarch, richly dressed in Spanish fashion, her gold-brocaded dress adorned with gems and pearls, and sleeves decorated with fur. She wears a priceless gold necklace of sapphires and pearls, with further pearls in her ears and hair – the epitome of elegance and wealth. It has been questioned whether a portrait of Francis I (Philadelphia Museum of Art) is a pendant to this work, especially since both are of a similar size, but the fact that the sitters face the same way makes this unlikely.
The sitter holds a letter inscribed: 'Ala xpianisima. Ymuy pode / rose sinōra la Reyna / my sinora'

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Oil fell for a third day, ending the month with a loss, after an unexpected drop in U.S. consumer confidence in January.
Oil slipped with equities as the Conference Board's confidence index decreased to 61.1 from a revised 64.8 reading in December. Futures rose as much as 2.5 percent in intraday trading as Germany's unemployment rate fell to a record low.
"The consumer confidence number was quite disappointing and it weighed on oil," said Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics LLC, an Austin, Texas-based energy consultant. "It continues to demonstrate how U.S.-centric financial-market participants are."
Crude for March delivery dropped 30 cents, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $98.48 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices slipped 0.4 percent this month, the smallest movement since July. Oil ranged from $97.40 to $103.74 in January. The range of $6.34 was the tightest since October 2010.
Brent oil for March settlement rose 23 cents to $110.98 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, capping a 3.4 percent monthly increase.
The U.S. confidence figure was lower than the most pessimistic projection by economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The median forecast in the survey was 68. Readings above 50 signal growth. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index also reversed an advance after the report was released.
"The confidence number is weak and that's definitely going to put pressure on the market in the short term," said Rich Ilczyszyn, chief market strategist and founder of Iitrader.com in Chicago. "It's all led by equities. This is the last day of the month and fund managers want to lock in some gains."
Economic Data
Oil also moved lower as data showed business activity in the U.S. cooled in January and residential real estate prices fell more than forecast in November.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc. said its business barometer declined to 60.2 from 62.2 in December. Economists forecast the gauge would rise to 63, according to the median of 57 estimates in a Bloomberg survey.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities declined 3.7 percent in November from a year earlier after decreasing 3.4 percent in the year ended in October, the group said in New York. Economists projected a 3.3 percent drop, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
"Expectations have become more bullish and now people are disappointed," said Bill O'Grady, chief market strategist at Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis. "The economy's been kind of stuck in this twilight zone between expansion and recession."
Markets Lower
The S&P 500 Index ended the day little changed after rising as much as 0.6 percent. It gained 4.4 percent for the month. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of 24 raw materials slid 0.1 percent after rising as much as 1.6 percent.
"Basically all the markets are moving lower," said Tom Bentz, a director with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. in New York.
Oil gained earlier after the Nuremberg-based Federal Labor Agency said Germany's adjusted jobless rate slipped to 6.7 percent, the lowest level since records began in 1991, and Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos said he's "strongly committed" to reaching a debt-swap pact with bondholders
European Union leaders completed a fiscal-discipline treaty yesterday that speeds sanctions on high-deficit states. The treaty also requires euro countries to anchor balanced-budget rules in national law.
"The German unemployment number was pretty positive," said Schenker. "There is some optimism that the Greek debt crisis may finally get resolved."
Chinese Add Storage
China raised its oil inventory capacity to 40 days of supply by the end of last year as it opened new state-owned and commercial storage sites, China National Petroleum Corp. said.
The world's biggest energy consumer finished building two state-owned stockpiles and four commercial ones in 2011, Beijing-based CNPC said on its website, without specifying the locations. China is building six more strategic petroleum reserve bases as part of the second phase of a program to store oil for emergencies, according to the statement.
The China news "could also be supportive of prices," Schenker said.
Oil volume in electronic trading on the Nymex was 666,804 contracts as of 3:23 p.m. in New York. Volume totaled 459,289 yesterday, 20 percent below the three-month average. Open interest was 1.38 million contracts.

The Jabra BT125 is yet another compact and lightweight Bluetooth headset for Jabra's lineup, and it's targeted especially toward first-time headset users or those who just want one that's easy to use. It doesn't have the style of the Jabra JX10 nor the colors of the Jabra BT160, but we think its simplicity will appeal to most users who just want a solid yet affordable model. The Jabra BT125 is available now at $39.95.
As far its design, the Jabra BT125 appears rather bland. It has the typical teardrop shape of most headsets with a black front and a white back. Yet it's really compact and lightweight, measuring only 2 by 0.75 by 0.9 inches and weighing less than 0.5 ounce. On its front is a large tactile multifunction button that shows blue backlighting when activated. The volume rocker rests on its right spine, but you wouldn't even know it was there unless you read the manual or were especially eagle-eyed. It is very skinny and flat, and it blends into the headset since they're the same color. And even once we found it, its small size made it difficult to press, especially when we were wearing the headset.

Two Physicians From IPC The Hospitalist Company Named Top Hospitalists Of 2011
IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPCM), a leading national hospitalist physician group practice company, announced today that Jasmin M. Baleva, M.D., and David Bowman, M.D. were named by ACP Hospitalist as two of the Top Ten Hospitalists in the nation. Both were recognized in the November 2011 issue of the magazine, a publication of the American College of Physicians.
Dr. Baleva, IPC's Practice Group Leader at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center in Houston, Texas, launched the first medical-pediatrics practice group in the Houston area. As a medical-pediatrics hospitalist, her patients range from newborns to end-of-life cases in various clinical environments. An IPC physician since 2001, Dr. Baleva was the first hospitalist in Houston to initiate an organized effort to bring a hospitalist practice group into skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. She was also instrumental in starting a long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitalist practice at Methodist Hospital Willowbrook in Houston. In April 2011, Dr. Baleva was recognized as an IPC Hospitalist of the Year.
Dr. Bowman serves as Regional Executive Director for the IPC practice group in Tucson, Arizona. He leads a team of 80 hospitalists, which he grew from a small presence when he joined the company in 2000. In October of this year, Dr. Bowman's achievements as a physician executive were also recognized by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) and American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE) which honored him with the "Physician Executive of the Year" award for 2011. It is also noteworthy that in January 2011 Dr. Bowman was the first physician on the scene helping the victims of the Tucson, Arizona shooting, when six people were killed and 13 others injured, including U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).
"We are very proud that both Dr. Baleva and Dr. Bowman have been honored by the ACP as two of the country's eminent hospitalists," said Adam Singer, M.D., chairman and CEO of IPC The Hospitalist Company. "Both physicians exemplify IPC's core values of leadership, professionalism and teamwork, representing our commitment to delivery of the highest quality patient care."About IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. IPC The Hospitalist Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPCM) is a leading physician group practice company focused on the delivery of hospitalist medicine and related facility-based services. IPC's physicians and affiliated providers practice in hospitals or other inpatient facilities, including acute, sub-acute and long-term care settings. The Company offers its providers the comprehensive training, information technology, and management support systems necessary to improve the quality and reduce the cost of patient care in the facilities it serves.

New version of Boxee supports Hulu
We've covered the Boxee social-networking media center application before, including the recent release that runs on the Apple TV. Now yet another alpha has been released that adds a long sought-after feature: internet flash video playback for "Hulu, CBS, Comedy Central and MySpaceTV." Other updates include improvement to UI performance as well as the ability to add your own RSS feeds manually, including those containing audio and video payloads (i.e. podcasts). This naturally opens the door to considerably more content for your Boxee device, whether it be a Mac, Apple TV, or even, perish the thought, an Ubuntu Linux machine.
Unfortunately, Boxee remains invitation-only. However, you may register at the Boxee site to receive a future invitation.

Galaxy S5 official cases show up for UK pre-order
Here come the official Samsung Galaxy S5 cases, unveiled by UK online store MobileFun. The retailer says that they are expected to ship in two months. Other accessories haven't been mentioned so far.
Four types of cases, their colors matching those of the Galaxy S5, are available for pre-order. There's a hard-case cover in gray, mint, and beige, which costs $34 .41 (24.49€). The flip wallet cover in rose gold, black, blue, white, and pink will cost $51 (36.99€). The view cover (same colors) will cost $76, and for $92 (66.99€), you can get a wireless charging-enabled view cover. We assume the US prices will be a tad cheaper.

In absence of arguments, some people reached the worst of themselves and their repressed here, making undue personal attacks, hidden under the anonymity of course. Now why don't go look in the mirror, not your immaginary that you have allways in front of you, believing that the face you see is the other people.

This episode effectively set the tone for next week's two-hour spin-off that will establish Kate Walsh's potential new series wherein Addison skips town for L.A. after getting Sleepless in Seattle. Poor gal couldn't get a break. First, McSteamy tells her he broke their no-sex agreement because he figured out that he wasn't the one for her (it didn't help when he saw Addison and Alex come out of the closet in more ways than one). Then, just when she figured she had a new boy toy after their totally hot closet sex, Alex gave her the "You're not my girlfriend" speech. Cue Debbie Downer. I felt that final narration line from Meredith summed up the hour quite eloquently: "People who suffer the most are the ones who don't know what they want."

Toy drive held for children of murdered Milwaukee club promoter
A Milwaukee night club filled up Sunday in honor of popular club promoter Christopher Gray Jr., who was killed last week in his home.
VIDEO: Honoring the life of slain club promoter
Children's toys were piled up at the club called Brooklyn's.
"It's a really great thing. It kind of shows what he was to people and it's just only a fraction of what we assume we will receive later on tonight," said owner Shantel Stovall.
The toys were donated for Gray's children.
Gray was killed in his Milwaukee home near 68th Street and Lisbon. Police said he walked in to find two people robbing the house.
A fight ensued that ended in Gray's death, police said.
"We're still hurting a lot, a lot. He was a fixture here," Stovall said.
Gray promoted events at Brooklyn's each Sunday. He was also a bartender.
Stovall said Gray was considered family.
"Just not seeing him here, just not working beside him, you know little things will be tough, again a lot of people knew this guy," Stovall said.
Brooklyn's was reopened Sunday night for the event Gray was set to promote.
"I spoke with some others earlier today and you sit and you just can't believe that this is happening. You can't believe that this is going on in the city of Milwaukee," Stovall said.
Milwaukee police have not said if any arrests have been made in the case.
Gray's funeral is planned for Tuesday.

Grinch arrested for telling kids there's no Santa
Updated On: Nov 26 2012 09:53:21 AM CST
A man has been arrested in Canada for "outing" Santa Claus to children along a Christmas parade route.
The 24-year-old man, whose hair was gelled to look like horns coming out of his head, had been walking the parade route in Kingston, Ontario, and telling kids that Santa doesn't exist, The Huffington Post reported.
He was charged with causing a disturbance, public intoxication and a probation violation.
The man spent the night in jail while he sobered up and posted bail the next morning.
"It was pretty despicable that someone, during this time of the year, would tell kids Santa isn't real -- which of course we would argue," Kingston police Const. Steve Koopman told the Toronto Star.

Warmly alarm app for Android wakes you to the sizzling sounds of bacon
We should be adding the new $1.99 Warmly alarm app to our Android hall of fame for such applications, if only for the fact that you can literally "wake up and smell the bacon" with it, as one of the sounds it can produce is those of bacon strips sizzling in a pan, ready to be wolfed down. Don't forget the coffee with that bacon, as there's a brewing sound, too.
The volume gradually increases, and like with any self-respecting alarm app these days, Warmly can show local weather info on your screen to check first time you wake up in the morning.

A Fuzzy Measure for Explanatory Coherence

In a series of articles, Paul Thagard has developed a connectionist's modelfor the evaluation of explanatory coherence for competing systems ofhypotheses. He has successfully applied it to various examples from thehistory of science and common language reasoning. However, I will argue thathis formalism does not adequately represent explanatory relations betweenmore than two propositions.In this paper, I develop a generalization of Thagard's approach. It is notsubject to the connectionist paradigm of neural nets, but is based on fuzzylogic: Explanatory coherence increases with the fuzzy truth value of theconjunction of explanans and explanandum and decreases with the value of theconjunction of explanans and the negation of the explanandum.

The fatwa department at Cairo's Al-Azhar University issues about 1,000 edicts a day, and Al-Alzhar is certainly not the only source of these religious rulings. In fact, as Daniel Williams reports in Bloomberg News, there is an explosion of decrees and an explosion of sources which issue them. There is, then, fatwa chaos from Indonesia to Morocco. There are judgements that order Muslims not to watch television, ban sculpture, dictate female circumcision, and one recently that commands "women who meet alone with men ought...breastfeed them to create a 'maternal' bond that precludes having sex."I suppose the first fatwa that many of us heard about was the death sentence by the Ayatollah Khomeini on novelist Salman Rushdie, condemned for blasphemy in The Satanic Verses. This is not the most violent of these rulings. There are all of the exhortations to jihad whose victims are mostly Muslims.

The second-gen Chevrolet Tracker, a badge-engineered version of the Suzuki Vitara and the descendent of the Geo Tracker Suzuki Sidekick sibling, was sold all over the world with many nameplates. It was never much of a big seller in the United States, so this ZR-2 is an unusual Junkyard Find. (Read More…)

A perfectly restored example of a 1964-66 Ford Thunderbird is worth plenty. A beat-up example, even a non-rusty California car, on the other hand… well, it's one of those cases where you can start with a thousand-dollar car, apply 15 grand to get it into pretty nice shape, and end up with a car worth $9,500. This cruel math is the reason that today's Junkyard Find was spotted at a San Francisco Bay Area wrecking yard a few weeks back. (Read More…)
Ah, the Subaru BRAT. Just as you can't find anyone who hates The Ramones, you can't find anyone who wants to beat on the Subaru BRAT with a baseball bat. As perhaps the best-loved car that shows up in self-service wrecking yards with any regularity, the BRAT always inspires me to whip out my camera when I see a junked example. So far this series, we've admired this '79, this '79, this '84, this '82, and this Sawzall-ized '86 crypto-BRAT. (Read More…)
By 1991, Chrysler was using the K platform as the basis for everything from penny-pinching econoboxes to minivans to the once-majestic Imperial. One thing about the Whorehouse Red Interior Era (approximately 1983 through 1994), though, was that enough red velour and gold-plastic emblems could make even an Iacoccan front-wheel-drive first cousin to the Plymouth Reliant-K into a quasi-credible luxury sedan. Here's a '91 Chrysler Imperial that I found in California a couple of weeks ago. (Read More…)
Once the price of crude oil quadrupled in 1973, even your Cadillac-buying demographic felt some pain when contemplating the thirst of a Fleetwood. Still, the biggest Cadillac (not intended for chauffeur operation) projected the sort of majesty that rich (if elderly) car shoppers sought during the Middle Malaise Era. I spotted this battered example of the breed yesterday in Northern California. (Read More…)
After seeing this '72 Ford Econoline one-ton camper van on Tuesday and this '72 Mercury Monterey coupe on Monday, how about another 1972 Junkyard Find? Here's a '72 Buick Skylark that I shot in a Denver yard, all the way back in 2010; I'd been saving these photos until I could come up with a whole week's worth of GM A-body cars, but the A-bodies have become so valuable (and thus rare in cheap self-serve wrecking yards) that I've run out of patience. Welcome back to 1972 Junkyard Week™! (Read More…)
After yesterday's 1972 Mercury Junkyard Find, it makes sense— in some circles— to stick with model-year 1972 vehicles this week. With that in mind, here's a very biohazardous second-gen Ford Econoline that I braved without benefit of a space suit. I'm pretty sure I didn't catch hantavirus, scabies, or dioxin poisoning, but it's still too early to know for sure. (Read More…)
After seeing this '72 Ford LTD Brougham coupe a few months back, it seems fitting that I've spotted the Mercury sibling to that car at the very same San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. The images of this rust-free 42-year-old big Ford coupe should result in bitter tears flowing from Sajeev's eyes, not to mention much wailing and gnashing of teeth among Rust Belt Ford lovers who haven't seen such an unoxidized Mercury since the start of the Ethio-Somali War. Here we go! (Read More…)
As far as I know, the Volkswagen LT van was never sold new in the United States, and this is the first one I've ever seen in an American wrecking yard. At first glance, I assumed it was some sort of Grumman or specialty body on a Big Three chassis. (Read More…)
The fourth-generation Chevrolet Nova sold in huge numbers, wasn't a bad car by the standards of its time, and stayed on the street in significant quantities well into the 1990s. However, the Malaise Era Nova just never gathered much of an enthusiast following compared to its predecessors— if you want to restore a Nova these days, you'll get a '64 or '70, not a '78— so the few remaining survivors go right to the scrapper when they die. Here's a very worn-out example that I saw in California last week. (Read More…)

Do you like liberty? Are you a strong writer? Are you a dues-paying YAL member? If so, then you should consider writing for our blog!
Publishing on the Young Americans for Liberty blog is the perfect way to make a name for yourself as a young libertarian writer. In fact, YAL's current Director of Communications got his foot in the door of the liberty movement by writing for our blog in college!
We hope you'll take a moment to scroll down and look at the blogger application. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. Good luck!
We're less than ONE MONTH AWAY from the 2014 YAL National Convention!And we literally only have a couple dozen seats left to fill before the big event.So if you have been thinking about it, let me give you five reasons to apply to attend the convention right now:
Like I said, we are almost sold out. This is one of your last opportunities to
The chapter of Young Americans for Liberty at Southeastern Louisiana University has concluded another fantastic semester, the third since our founding in 2012. Our membership continues to grow, with a strong core group of members who help plan, organize, and set up each event. We successfully presented two major events on campus and represented our university at our YAL State Convention in New Orleans, and have even more plans for next year!
Friday, May 2, the Grove City College chapter of Young Americans for Liberty participated in the War on Youth activism project. We tabled in the courtyard of HAL, our main academic building, while classes were in session.
As students passed by the table, we encouraged them to play our Debt Pong game and handed them a flyer to advertise for our follow-up meeting the next Monday, May 5.
At the meeting we showed the Reason Foundation documentary America's Longest War: A Film About Drug Prohibition. Unfortunately the attendance at the meeting was fairly low, likely due to conflicts with classes and approaching finals. Those who attended found it to be very education and enlightening, showing the extremely adverse effects of the Drug War.
For the last tabling event of the year, the Vanderbilt chapter of YAL decided to host our annual 4/20 bake sale. Seeing as 4/20 is the unofficial day of marijuana awareness, we decided it would be fitting to promote the motto "legalize choice" in terms of drug usage. As such, we also gave away delicious brownies dubbed "freedom brownies," which raised a few eyebrows. However, they were merely "Little Bites" purchased at the local convenience store.
We set up on a lovely Sunday afternoon in front of the Commons Center, which is a central location for dining and student services especially for freshmen. Our primary goal was to bring more freshmen into the club starting next year by adding them to our mailing list. In exchange, they would receive literature ranging from the constitution, marijuana myths, and rights in the face of police. We had information from organizations such as Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Students for Liberty, Drug Policy Alliance, and more. Several students appeared interested in the club and the cause, with some already sporting Ron Paul gear and anti-drug war shirts.
Students as well as parents and even campus security came to our stand inquiring about our club. After reassuring them that there were no "special" ingredients in our free brownies, they listened to our viewpoints and
We are well underway with our "War on YOUth" Activism Event. We're hosting our activism in conjunction with a town hall with Joel Marchese, Congressional Candidate for the 53rd District, scheduled to take place on Tuesday, May 13, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. The event can be found here.
Despite the mass deficits in our activity over the past school year, I think the events of the remaining semester — including, but not limited to, "War on YOUth", the primary subject of this post — will help bring us back to enjoy the same gains we had last year, and then some. I think we made a great decision to hold an event out in the Quad, for once. Just the presence of all those chairs alone should bring traffic to our table.
The last school-sponsored event of the year we will be participating in, which counts for our campus involvement, is Grossmont College's "De-Stress Fest," where the school & involved student organizations collaborate to provide a stress-relieving atmosphere to help us get ready for finals. Over the week, we will be responsible for playing movies in Griffin Center; and any titles that may not be suitable for all audiences will be shown in the Clubs Room, per the recommendation of the school's Director of Student Affairs.
On another note, I turn 21 during the week that the De-Stress Fest is taking place in; and on my birthday, in addition to the movies we will be playing throughout the week, I will personally be serving ice cream, root beer, and root beer floats. I do not know if we have enough money in our Club Trust Account to buy enough cake to go around; so if you want to help us fund our activities for the rest of the semester, and the rest of the year, we would ask that you consider donating to our YAL Chapter.
To end the year right, we just begun making plans for an end-of-the-year bonfire on June 6, after everyone is done with finals. We have begun writing to nearby YAL Chapters to see if they wanted to get involved.
I am already feeling confident about what the next school year will bring!
Two students from the University of Hawai'i at Hilo YAL Chapter have partnered with FIRE to sue their school and protect their constitutional rights on campus. This lawsuit stems from an incident in January, where school administrators demanded students Merritt Burch and Anthony Vizzone to stop their rebellious activity of handing out constitutions while tabling. During a university-sponsored club fair from January 14 through the 16 of this year, YAL joined several other student groups to educate and encourage students to join YAL. Since their table was removed far from the flow of foot traffic, Merritt took the initiative and pro-actively offered students constitutions and YAL literature. This effective tabling technique of approaching students was used by other student organizations that day as well. However, a school administrator decided that the only the YAL chapter would be singled out and told to stop as "It's not about your rights in this case, it's about the University policy that you can't approach people."
The intimidation tactics and violations of Merritt's constitutional rights continued when university officials sent an e-mail to student groups that they should not approach people, but should consider using a "Free Speech Zone". However, this free speech zone is .3 acres (or 0.26%) of the campus and is often flooded from frequent Hawai'i rain.
The YAL chapter had the option to back down, but chose to stand up for their rights and grow their organization on campus. Recently, a YAL activism report by UH-Hilo was featured on Huffington Post, showcasing the group's fantastic work and
Last week the YAL chapter at The University of North Carolina hosted our "War on YOUth" to promote our "Courageous Conservative" speaker event with TJ from the local FM radio show "The Ace & TJ Show." We had a blast while simultaneously promoting liberty! Thanks to the help of The Leadership Institute, we obtained a grant to print posters and flyers we designed which were put up around campus.
We also made sure to chalk all the high traffic areas.
We started out tabling in front of one of our main dining halls and met many
Eastern Kentucky University's Young Americans for Liberty chapter made the thirty-mile trip up to Lexington, Kentucky to attend the YAL State Convention on April 5. We brought eight members to the event, which was the largest contingent from any school in attendance, even the host school University of Kentucky. Our members learned vital information that will be applied to our own university. We also interacted with sponsors and plan to use our new connections on campus. For instance, we will bring Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty onto campus next semester. We also met Rep. Thomas Massie, Commissioner James Commer, and Julie Borowski!
April 4-6 marked the Florida Liberty Summit and the Young Americans for Liberty Florida State Convention! As the chapter Vice President, I (pictured above with Ben Swann) attended the event and made the effort to represent YAL Rollins in the process. There were many kind and courteous individuals who were interested in helping our chapter. It was more than reassuring.
Joshua Parrish (pictured above), Southeast Regional Director for Young Americans For Liberty, has been instrumental in helping Young Americans for Liberty at Rollins College. It was a pleasure for me to finally meet him in person. Joshua gave a great speech the first night of the event. Our chapter was honored to be in the presence of so many people working to advance liberty. We can't wait to get back into action during the Fall semester of 2014!

I've got to the point where I have created a playlist etc but cannot share it so that staff can see it. Anyone got any ideas please?
I've seen this two, where all the redirecting to the edu version works, but then how do you login to add videos to your allow list. Going to do some more tests on my local tmg as well
I've got to the point where I have created a playlist etc but cannot share it so that staff can see it. Anyone got any ideas please?
Still here - any ideas anyone. Have tried making a shortcut but it doesnt work. I have two logons it seems and one displays the fail logo and tells me that I need to enable the videos, whilst the other one reverts to youtube for education. If anyone can help I would be thrilled
I've tried the URL from the school channel, the playlist and everything with no luck
Last edited by witch; 19th March 2014 at 12:13 PM.
Now at my other school
Can log on with staff proxy enabled so I can see youtube.com/schools. Can add vids to playlist. Header with presumably school ident is there. Cannot access the playlist or school channel address from a non-staff proxy browser.
Can anyone point at what I have done?
If anyone wants to visit me to give me a hand - I could make cake - or muffins - or anything really
The way we use it here is as such:
To add videos to playlists - log in to the staff proxy, then log in to youtube using the admin account used for youtube for schools. Add videos to playlists.
To watch videos - ensure they are not https:// links, HTTPS is blocked entirely. Distribute the playlist address to people who want it.
So, no-one other than me has access to the staff proxy here. They all just send me links to unblock things.

unexplained weight gain & weight loss
I have a severely disabled daughter who is 28 years old with Cerebral Palsy. Approximately 2 years ago she was hospitalized for pneumonia. Along with the pneumonia she simultaneously gained 25 lbs a number of tests concluded it was not water weight. Ultimately her caloric intake was reduced(fed via gastrostomy tube). Prior to the weight gain she was at 105 lbs for years, she maxed out at around 132 lbs. With the reduction of the caloric intake she continued to gain weight for a short period of time and than began losing weight, she platoed out at 118 lbs. During this hospitalization it was identified that her Vitamin D level was low so a supplement of 500 IU's of Vitamin D was added to her daily diet. Recently she was hospitalized with gastrointestinal issues, relating to constipation. During the hospitalization it was identified that the Vitamin D level was toxic, supplement was discontinued. She was at 101 lbs. She was discharged after 5 days but after two weeks of returning home she was readmitted for the same reason. Upon her admission it was identified again that her Vitamin D level was even higher than the previous hospitalization - more toxic with the removal of the Vitamin D two weeks earlier. Looking back 2 years ago and realize there was no explanation to be found for her sudden weight gain and looking at her current situation, similarily there is no explanation to be found for her weight loss. My question is this: Is it possible to gain fat cell weight as a result of your body not producing the hormone/enzymes needed to break down the fatty acids/cells and also house the Vitamin D over a long period of time within those fat cells? With the shedding of weight is it possible that the Vitamin D that has been housed is now being released in massive quantities into her system causing the toxic level reading? What I am most interested in is what would cause the body to be unable to breakdown the fat cells, thus storing them?

I have to that this as a miscat (it is not a brain tumor question) but I would have to say this potentially could be hormonal.
When she was in the hospital, did they happen to give her high dose steroids? The steroids (dexamethasone, prednesone, hydrocortisone) can often lead to rapid weight gain, and then when they are consumed by the body, then rapid weight loss. It is also possible that there are cortisol producing tumors - aka Cushing's syndrome that can create cortisol thus impacting weight. Thyroid and other hormones can also do this as well. Has she has a good hormone work up?
FYI if you have low D which is quite common for us with hormonal issues, we are put on 50,000iu a week to get up to a normal level then given 3-5,000 daily. From my layman point of view, we have not had a correlation of D to weight, only energy.

With the Senate doing what it does best these days – splintering into partisanship and deadlocking – lawmakers punted last week until after the Thanksgiving holidays a vote on a must-pass defense authorization bill. As a result, Kirsten Gillibrand's controversial proposal to put independent prosecutors – rather than military commanders – in charge of military rape and other serious charges could get the 60 votes it needs to pass.
That would be a good thing.
Gillibrand, D-N.Y., makes a compelling case for this more radical change. In a commentary she coauthored with, of all people, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., she pointed out that "across the branches, a majority of service members – 74 percent of females and 60 percent of males – perceived barriers to reporting [sexual assaults]. And, that's only among the soldiers who were willing to report. The [Department of Defense's] report stated that 66 percent of victims said they were not comfortable enough to report it, 50 percent believed nothing would be done if they did, and 47 percent cited fear of retaliation to explain their silence."
Those statistics highlight a failure of military commanders. They are part of the problem – a huge systemic problem that has left servicewomen and servicemen largely unprotected from serious crimes and unable to get justice for the harm they incurred.
The military estimates that as many as 26,000 service members were the targets of unwanted sexual contact in 2012, but only 3,374 incidents of sexual assault were reported to military officials. Sadly, the report uncovered that in many cases where sexual assault charges were pursued, investigations were haphazard and negligent with cases lacking basic elements including simple witness interviews.
Critics of Gillibrand's approach have embraced a plan pushed by her colleague and friend, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., a former prosecutor who prefers keeping prosecutions within the chain of command to ensure commanders are held accountable and maintain the good order of the military. Her proposal, which has the support of military leaders and key senators including Armed Services Committee Chair Carl Levin, D-Mich.,would drop the "good soldier" defense from military evidence rules in sexual assault and rape cases unless military character is directly relevant to the crime alleged, and would establish a more stringent civilian review of disagreements between military prosecutors and commanders.
But Gillibrand is right that it is far easier for people to come forward with assault claims if an impartial third-party is involved, and not a service member's commander. And as she aptly points out, the United States' strongest allies, including Israel, Britain and Germany, already use this approach. It would be hard to make a case that those countries, especially Israel, have abandoned good order or devolved into chaos as a result.
Gillibrand's plan is backed by national veterans groups, victims' advocates, 17 of the 20 female senators and a bipartisan coalition that includes not only Cruz but Democratic senate leader Harry Reid.
In a Washington Post-ABC News poll released last week, respondents also backed her approach: Nearly six in 10 people said they believe decisions in military sexual assault prosecutions should be made by an independent group instead of within the military chain of command.
When the Senate returns next month, lawmakers should give military victims of this vicious crime the best shot at justice that they can. Gillibrand's plan does that.
