Fan Speed Control Techniques in PCs Analog Devices offers a comprehensive set of hardware monitoring products for use in desktop and notebook PCs, and servers. Intelligent systems-monitoring devices make possible sophisticated fan speed control techniques to provide adequate cooling and maintain optimal thermal performance in the system. During the past year a family of products, including the ADM1029 Dual PWM Fan Controller and Temperature Monitor, the ADM1026, and ADM1030/31 Complete, ACPI-Compliant, Dual-Channel ±1°C Remote Thermal Monitor with integrated fan controller, for one or two independent fans, have been developed. They build on the core technology used in the ADM102x PC System Monitor product portfolio (see also Analog Dialogue 33-1 and 33-4). Providing fan speed control based on the temperatures measured within the system, these new products offer more-complete thermal-management solutions. We discuss here the need for this level of sophisticated control and the issues inherent in providing it.
BACKGROUND PCs have also begun to become smaller and less conventional in size and shape-as can be seen in any of the latest concept PCs or slim-line notebooks on the market. Rigid power dissipation specifications such as "Mobile power guidelines '99" (Ref. 1) stipulate how much heat may be safely dissipated through a notebook's keyboard without causing user discomfort. Any excess heat must be channeled out from the system by other means, such as convection along heat pipes and a heat-spreader plate, or the use of a fan to move air through the system. Clearly, what is needed is an intelligent, effective approach to thermal management that can be adopted universally. Various industry groups have assembled to address these and other issues, and have developed standards such as ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) for notebook PCs and IPMI (intelligent platform management interface) for server management.
INDUSTRY STANDARDS Power management is defined as "Mechanisms in hardware and software to minimize system power consumption, manage system thermal limits, and maximize system battery life. Power management involves tradeoffs among system speed, noise, battery life, processing speed, and ac power consumption." Consider first a notebook-PC user who types trip reports while flying across oceans or continents. Which characteristic is more important, maximum CPU performance or increased battery life? In such a simple word-processor application, where the time between a user's keystrokes is almost an eternity in CPU clock cycles, maximum CPU performance is nowhere near as critical as continuous availability of power. So CPU performance can be traded off against increased battery life. On the other hand, consider the user who wants to watch the latest James Bond movie in full-motion, full-screen, mind-numbing sound and brightness, on digital versatile disk (DVD). It is critical that the system operates at a level of performance to decode the software fast enough, without dropping picture or audio frames. In this situation CPU performance cannot be compromised. Therefore, heat generation will be at top levels, and attention to thermal management will be of paramount importance to obtain top performance without impairing reliability. Enter ACPI. What then is ACPI? ACPI is a specification that describes the interface between components and how they behave. It is not a purely software or hardware specification, since it describes how the BIOS software, OS software, and system hardware should interact. The ACPI specification outlines two distinct methods of system cooling: passive cooling and active cooling. Passive cooling relies on the operating-system (OS) and/or basic input/output-system (BIOS) software to reduce CPU power consumption in order to reduce the heat dissipation of the machine. How can this be achieved? By making intelligent decisions such as entering Suspend mode if no keystroke or other user interaction has been detected after a specified time. Or if the system is doing some intensive calculations, such as 3D processing, and is getting dangerously hot, the BIOS could decide to throttle (slow down) the CPU clock. This would reduce the thermal output from the machine, but at the cost of overall system performance. What is the benefit of this passive-type cooling? Its distinct advantage is that the system power requirement is lowered silently (fan operation is not required) in order to decrease the system temperature, but it does limit performance. So, what about active cooling? In an actively cooled system, the OS or BIOS software takes a direct action, such as turning on a CPU mounted fan, to cool down the processor. It has the advantage that the increased airflow over the CPU's metal slug or heat-sink allows the heat to be drawn out of the CPU relatively quickly. In a passively cooled system, CPU throttling alone will prevent further heating of the CPU, but the thermal resistance of the heatsink to "still air" can be quite large, meaning that the heatsink would dissipate the heat to the air quite slowly, delaying a return to full-speed processing. Thus, a system employing active cooling can combine maximum CPU performance and faster heat dissipation. However, operation of the fan introduces acoustic noise into the system's environment and draws more power. Which cooling technique is better? In reality, it depends on the application; a versatile machine will use both techniques to handle differing circumstances. ACPI outlines the cooling techniques in terms of two different modes: performance mode and silent mode. The two modes are compared in Figures 1 and 2.
Figures 1 and 2 are examples of temperature scales that illustrate the respective tradeoffs between performance, fan acoustic noise, and power consumption/dissipation. In order for a system-management device to be ACPI compliant, it should be capable of signaling limit crossings at, say, 5°C intervals, or SCI (system-control interrupt) events, that a new out-of-limit temperature increment has occurred. These events provide a mechanism by which the OS can track the system temperature and make informed decisions as to whether to throttle the CPU clock, increase/decrease the speed of the cooling fan, or take more drastic action. Once the temperature exceeds the _CRT (critical temperature) policy setting, the system will be shut down as a fail-safe to protect the CPU. The other two policy settings shown in Figures 1 and 2 are _PSV (passive cooling, or CPU clock throttling) and _ACx. (active cooling, when the fan switches on). In Figure 1 (performance mode), the cooling fan is switched on at 50°C. Should the temperature continue to rise beyond 60°C, clock throttling is initiated. This behavior will maximize system performance, since the system is only being slowed down at a higher temperature. In Figure 2 (silent mode), the CPU clock is first throttled at 45 degrees C. If the temperature continues to rise, a cooling fan may be switched on at 60 degrees C. This reduced-performance mode will also tend to increase battery life, since throttling back the clock reduces power consumption. Figure 3 shows how the limits of the temperature measurement bands track the temperature measurement. Each limit crossing produces an interrupt.
The intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) specification (Ref. 2) brings similar thermal management features to servers. IPMI is aimed at reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a server by monitoring the critical "heartbeat" parameters of the system: temperature, voltages, fan speeds, and PSUs (power-supply units). Another motivation for IPMI is the need for interoperability between servers, to facilitate communication between baseboards and chassis. IPMI is based on the use of a 5-volt I2C bus, with messages sent in packet form. Further information on IPMI is available from the Intel web site at http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/. All members of the Analog Devices Temperature and Systems-Monitoring (TSM) family are ACPI and IPMI compliant.
In any CPU, the most relevant temperature is that of the "hot spot" on the die. All other temperatures in the system (including the heat-sink temperature) will lag the rise in this temperature. For this reason, practically every CPU (manufactured since the early Intel Pentium II processors) contains a strategically located transistor on its die for thermal monitoring. It gives a true, essentially instantaneous, profile of die temperature. Figure 5 shows temperature profiles in a system repeatedly entering and waking-up from suspend mode. It compares the temperatures measured by a thermistor attached to the CPU's heat-sink and by the substrate thermal diode. In the short interval for the actual die temperature to change back and forth by about 13 degrees, the heat-sink thermistor cannot sense any change.
TEMPERATURE TO FAN CONTROL Fan-control methods: Historically, the range of approaches to fan speed control in PCs is from simple on-off control to closed-loop temperature-to-fan speed control. Two-step control: This was the earliest form of fan speed control adopted in PCs. The BIOS would measure the system temperature (originally using a thermistor in close proximity to the CPU) and decide whether to switch a cooling fan fully on or off. Later, PCs used more-accurate TDM-based temperature monitors to implement the same two-step fan control. Three-step control: The BIOS or Operating System again measures the temperature using a thermistor or thermal diode and, based on software settings, decides whether to turn the fan fully on, fully off, or set it to run at half-speed. Linear fan-speed control: This more-recent method of fan-speed control is also known as voltage control. The BIOS or OS reads the temperature from the TDM measurement circuit and writes back a byte to an on-chip DAC, to set the output voltage in order to control the speed of the fan. An example of an IC fan controller of this type is the ADM1022, which has an 8-bit DAC on-chip with an output voltage range of 0 V to 2.5 V. It works with an external buffer amplifier having appropriate design ratings for the chosen fan. The ADM1022 also contains default automatic hardware trip points that cause the fan to be driven at full-speed in the event that its TDM circuit detects an over-temperature condition. The debut of these types of devices signified the emergence of automatic fan-speed control, where some of the decision-making is moved from OS software to system-monitoring hardware. Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) fan-speed control: In ADI's systems-monitoring product line, these PWM types are the most recent fan control products. The BIOS or OS can read the temperature from the TDM device and control the speed of the cooling fan by adjusting the PWM duty cycle applied to it. It's worth noting that all of the above methods of fan speed control rely on CPU or host intervention to read the temperature from the TDM device over the 2-wire System Management Bus. The thermal management software executed by the CPU must then decide what the fan speed should be and write back a value to a register on the systems monitor IC to set the appropriate fan speed. An obvious next step in the evolution of fan speed control is to implement an automatic fan speed control loop, which could behave independently of software and run the fan at its optimum speed for a given chip temperature. There are many benefits to such closed-loop speed control. Once the systems monitoring device has been initialized (by loading limit registers with required parameters), the control loop is then completely independent of software, and the IC can react to temperature changes without host intervention. This feature is especially desirable when a catastrophic system failure occurs, from which the system is unable to recover. If the PC crashes, the power management software in the OS is no longer executing, which results in loss of thermal management! If the PC cannot read the temperature being measured (since the PC has crashed), then it cannot be expected to set the correct fan speed to provide the required level of cooling. The other tangible benefit of a closed-loop implementation is that it will operate the fan at the optimum speed for any given temperature. This means that both acoustic noise and power consumption are reduced. Running a fan at full-speed maximizes both power consumption and acoustic noise. If the fan speed can be managed effectively through loop optimization, running only as fast as needed for a given temperature, power drain and audible fan noise are both reduced. This is an absolutely critical requirement in battery-powered notebook PC applications where every milliampere of current (or milliamp-second of charge) is a precious commodity.
PWM vs. LINEAR FAN-SPEED CONTROL Consider a 12-V fan being driven using linear fan-speed control. As the voltage applied to the fan is slowly increased from 0 V to about 8 V, the fan will start to spin. As the voltage to the fan is further increased, the fan speed will increase until it runs at maximum speed when driven with 12 V. Thus the 12-V fan has an effective operating window between 8 V and 12 V; with a range of only 4 V available for use in speed control. The situation becomes even worse with the 5-V fan that would be used with a notebook PC. The fan will not start until the applied voltage is about 4 V. Above 4 V, the fan will tend to spin near full-speed, so there is little available speed control between 4 and 5 volts. Thus, linear fan speed control is unsuitable for controlling most types of 5V fans. With pulse-width modulation (PWM), maximum voltage is applied for controlled intervals (the duty cycle of a square wave, typically at 30 to 100 Hz). As this duty cycle, or ratio of high time to low time, is varied, the speed of the fan will change. At these frequencies, clean tach (tachometer) pulses are received back from the fan, allowing reliable fan speed measurement. As drive frequencies go higher, there are problems with insufficient tach pulses for accurate measurement, then acoustic noise, and finally electrical spikes corrupting the tach signal. Therefore, most PWM applications use low frequency excitation to drive the fan. The external PWM drive circuitry is quite simple. It can be accomplished (Figure 7) with a single external transistor or MOSFET to drive the fan. The linear fan-speed-control equivalent, driven by an analog speed voltage, requires an op amp, a pass transistor, and a pair of resistors to set the op-amp gain.
How is the fan speed measured? A 3-wire fan has a tach output, which usually outputs 1, 2, or 4 tach pulses per revolution, depending on the fan model. This digital tach signal is then directly applied to the tach input on the systems-monitoring device. The tach pulses are not counted, because a fan runs relatively slowly, and it would take an appreciable amount of time to accumulate a large number of tach pulses for a reliable fan speed measurement. Instead, the tach pulses are used to gate an on-chip oscillator running at 22.5 kHz through to a counter (See Figure 8). In effect, the tach period is being measured to determine fan speed. A high count in the tach value register indicates a fan running at low speed (and vice versa). A limit register is used to detect sticking or stalled fans.
What other issues are there with fan speed control? When controlling a fan using PWM, the minimum duty cycle for reliable continuous fan operation is about 33%. However, a fan will not start up at 33% duty cycle because there is not enough power available to overcome its inertia. As noted in the discussion of Figure 6, the solution to this problem is to spin the fan up for 2 seconds on start-up. If the fan needs to be run at its minimum speed, the PWM duty cycle may then be reduced to 33% after the fan has spun up, and it is protected from stalling by the hysteresis.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate is expected today to pass a nearly $100 billion-a-year farm bill that the House approved last week.
The bill would provide a financial cushion for farmers who face unpredictable weather and market conditions.
And it cuts the food stamp program by about 1 percent. House Republicans had pushed to trim the bill even further and partisan disagreements had stalled it for more than two years.

Star Wars Sale at Toys R Us
Posted by yellowcastle,
Valid Sunday 2/12 through Saturday 2/18, all Star Wars sets are on sale at Toys R Us. Most sets are only 10% off the normal TRU prices which in many cases won't even bring the sets back down to MSRP, let alone below. That being said, there are a couple of deals to be had:
- The Super Star Destroyer (10221), Death Star (10188) and Imperial Shuttle (10212) are 10% off MSRP and qualify for free shipping.
- The Geonosian Cannon (9491) is 23% off MSRP
- The Y-Wing (9495) is 16% off MSRP
- Anakin's Pod Racer polybag (30057) is 10% off TRU Price (TRU Exclusive).
Additionally, you receive a Darth Maul USB Flash Drive with a qualifying $35 purchase. As LegoFanTexas mentioned in the forum and for those of us that live near a LEGO Store, there's no rush to pick up a SSD, Shuttle and Death Star here. Between March 1 and March 15, the LEGO Stores and LEGOShop.com will be having another Double VIP Points promotion which will match the savings from Toys R Us. You will miss out on the Flash Drive though, and you'll need to buy in a LEGO Store in order to avoid shipping charges. But in a push situation, I'd rather give my money directly to LEGO.

It's not a push-- You get some TRU dollars when you buy from TRU.
I just picked up the Death Star. I have been wanting it so it seemed like a good time with the sale and free shipping.
^^ You're right. If you buy the Death Star or SSD from TRU, you'll receive two $5 rewards coupons in like twelve weeks.
Visited the local Wal-Mart today and saw Star Wars sets and Alien sets 1/2 off. For example: LEGO 7962 Star Wars Anakin Skywalker Sebulbas Podracers for $45 and 7930 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship for $25. There were others but I didnt take note as to which sets.
None of the Toys R Us near me (Dallas) have the Super Star Destroyer. :(
^ The Death Star, SSD and Shuttle are LEGO Direct sets and are thus really only available online for Toys R Us, Walmart, Target, etc. Every once in a while you'll see one at a big box retailer but that's most often from online purchases returned to the store. I generally steer clear of these for fear of tampering.
Also, the Star Wars mini figure book is on sale for $13.29, and Visual Dictionary for $15.39

Finding Fragrances That Won't Break The Bank
Fragrance tends to be expensive – much more expensive than other cosmetics – and tougher to find in more affordable versions. The trick I've discovered: search for perfumes and eau de toilettes in stores that aren't known for selling them. Department store prices (and even the prices at Target) tend to start above $40. The ones below all cost $28 – altogether, there are 14 affordable scents to choose from.
1. Gap Eau de Toilettes ($28)
The Gap's latest fragrance collection comes in six scents, including perfect-for-spring Washed Cotton and Lavender Tea. The minimalist packaging and muted colors are just as zen-inspiring as those simply named scents.
2. Atomizer Fragrances from Urban Outfitters ($28)
The retro atomizer is just as appealing as the three delicious scents: Sangria Rose, Vanilla Brandy and Ginger Lily.
3. TokyoMilk Parfumarie Curiosite Scents from Anthropologie ($28)
These small bottles decorated with interesting images make great little thank-you or hostess gifts. The scents are divided into floral, spicy, fresh and fruit, making it easier to choose the one you think will work best for a particular friend.

TUCSON - More than one quarter of the bighorn sheep reintroduced to Catalina Mountains are dead.
In November, The Arizona Game and Fish Department captured 31 sheep near Yuma and released them in Catalina State Park.
Friday, the department released its latest report, revealing 8 sheep are dead. Mountain lions killed 7.
Whenever a lion kills a sheep, the department tries to kill the specific lion that killed the bighorn. The pursuit has been successful 2 times.
Arizona State Senator Olivia Cajero Bedford met with department officials Wednesday.
"It's just turning out to be a large killing program," Cajero Bedford said. "They have said it's not going to stop."
The November sheep release was the first of 3 planned annually.
The program is expected to cost more than $600,000 and is funded almost entirely by hunting and fishing licenses along with private donations. State lawmakers cannot control it.
"No I can't. I can only be vocal about this," Cajero Bedford said, "along with the Friends of Wild Animals and hope that this does not continue."
The Arizona Game and Fish Department declined interview requests following the release of the report. The next report is scheduled for February 7.
In November, Brian Wakeling, the Division Branch Chief for the Arizona Game and Fish Department said, "We were, I think, pretty up front all the way through this, that this is definitely an experiment. Bighorn sheep used to live here. There used to be a very robust population, but things are different than they used to be."
A previous report talked about other relocation efforts. Nearly 2,000 Arizona bighorn sheep have been transplanted throughout the Southwest.
In 2003, Game and Fish started relocating sheep to the the Mineral Mountains northeast of Florence. It took 4 releases over 9 years for the population to reach 100 sheep.
This is the summary of all the Catalina sheep deaths along with the following lion pursuit:
November 27, 2013 - Adult ram - Not killed by lion
November 30, 2013 - Yearling ewe - Lion killed
December 1, 2013 - Adult ewe - Lion killed
December 9, 2013 - Adult ewe - unsuccessful lion pursuit
January 3, 2014 - Adult ewe - unsuccessful lion pursuit
January 8, 2014 - Adult ewe - no lion pursuit
January 11, 2014 - Adult ewe - no lion pursuit
January 15, 2014 - Adult ewe - unsuccessful lion pursuit

It is the exact same recipe on the Key lime juice bottle except that this is lemon. I have one in the oven now and later I will top it off with whipped cream. I prefer that over the meringue."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Katie!
Facts about Katie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Katie's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Courtesy listing!! This cat is still in her home. This will be a private party adoption. Feline Friends is listing this cat to help the owner find her a new home. Below is what they had to say about her.
Katie is about a year old and comes from a two cat household, so if there were other cats in the house it would not be a problem. She is a small cat, very friendly, and loves to play and cuddle with people. She is an extremely affectionate cat. She is spayed and declawed.
Please fill out an application if you are interested in giving Katie a new home.
Other Pets at Feline Friends
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Katie, a Salem Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Salem, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Salem.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Salem already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Salem breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Salem paves the way for another one to be saved.

Future of Media Research: The challenge of change
Chris Worrell, European research director at Specific Media, looks back at MediaTel's Future of Media Research event and explains why lots of data creates lots of questions...
Last Friday saw an enjoyable and lively debate around what is in store for media research in 2012 - and beyond. It is often difficult to pin down a single emerging theme from an event with a broad agenda and reflecting the myriad interests of media - from media owners to media agencies, radio to social, and everything else in between. However, one theme was consistent - the challenge of change. The opening discussion revolved around data versus research, and whilst new topics were thrown in, it never really went away.
It is this notion of data that is driving the challenging force of change. Consider this: In 2010 the human race produced 800 exabytes of data. Between the dawn of civilisation and 2003 it produced 'just' five exabytes. That's an explosion of data by any measure. However, lots of data doesn't necessarily equate to lots of answers. In fact, quite the contrary - it creates lots more questions.
The consensus view, encouragingly, was that this proliferation of data requires ever more skilled, smart researchers to interpret and apply learning's gleaned from the virtual miles of 1's and 0's being produced every day (well, I would say that wouldn't I!). But it is an important point. Data is a powerful tool - the analogy du jour is that data is the new oil. Much like oil, data needs to be handled correctly. It is useless without correct refinement. A micro example - if a consumer visits a travel review website, are they in market for a holiday? With strategic decision making, advertising strategy and, ultimately, the difference between success and failure resting on data, never has it been more critical to an organisation.
The less consensual view was the extent that 'data' makes more traditional research redundant. I'm going to sit on the fence. On the one hand, it is hard to argue that gathering, interpreting and actioning actual data in real time is far more compelling than claimed statements, often emanating from sources that simply can't move quickly enough to reflect the rapid pace of consumer change. But at the same time, this real time data should not be taken as gospel, and seen in isolation. It needs to be seen in context - a context often provided by the rich insights of more traditional research approaches. Harmonising the two is integral to making data meaningful.
Faced with an ever increasing volume of data, produced by an increasingly fast changing consumer creates an acute challenge for everyone that works in research and insight. But at the same time, never has the demand for explanations and answers been higher. What a fantastic time to be working in the industry.

This program is based upon the dual concepts of elimination or minimizing criminal opportunities, whenever possible, and encouraging students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others. Below is a list of some of the crime prevention programs offered at the College of Eastern Utah:
Escort Program: (Price Campus Only) provide an escort service, particularly during hours of darkness, for persons walking on-campus.
Blue Phone: A blue security phone is located next to the Student Activity Center. This phone networks with the local 911 system. This phone should only be used for legitimate emergencies.

Resource Team: Campus crime, drug and alcohol abuse and other problems are evaluated regularly by a team of campus and community representatives.
Sanctions: All violations of federal and state laws will be referred to the criminal courts. In addition, the college may impose sanctions prior to any criminal procedure. These sanctions will be in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct found in the College Catalog.
Campus Facilities & Residence Halls
The Physical Facilities Department, and residential life staff, maintains college buildings, grounds, and housing facilities, with concern for safety and security. They inspect these facilities regularly; promptly make repairs and respond 24-hours-a-day to reports of potential safety and security hazards.
USU Eastern PD, San Juan Campus Security and Physical Facilities personnel annually inspect the entire campus to review lighting and environmental safety concerns.
Employees and students are encouraged to report public safety concerns to the USU Eastern PD or San Juan Campus Security. Problems or safety concerns regarding the Price campus may also be reported to Physical Facilities by calling 613-5550, or in person at 500 North Veteran's Lane, Price, Utah.
Hall security is monitored by full-time Head Residents and/or part-time Resident Assistants. It is the responsibility of Housing to develop procedures and programs which promote high standards for the safety and security of the residence halls and their tenants.
Housing and USU Eastern PD provide education programs emphasizing security awareness and giving direction on what residences can do to help secure the residence halls. Some of these ideas are listed below.
Safety Tips:
- Draw shades and curtains at night, whether you're home or not, to prevent thieves from seeing in.
- Keep doors locked at all times - even if you're inside the room sleeping, or leaving for only a few seconds. Lock the windows too.
- Keep money and jewelry locked in a safe place. Always keep all your valuables out of sight.
- Leave a light on while you're away so your room will look occupied - and you will not return to a dark room.
Make a record of your valuables (including serial numbers). Keep it in a safe place.
- Avoid leaving a note that says you are not in. It is like putting out a welcome mat for thieves.
- Report broken locks, doors, windows and lights to maintenance or your landlord. Make sure they are properly repaired or replaced.
- Use a peephole to see who is at your door. If there is no peephole, ask who is there before opening the door. Ask for identification before letting a repair person, security guard etc., enter. Never let strangers in.
- Don't hide a spare key outside your room, or leave your key unattended. Never loan keys or ID to anyone - even friends.
- Never prop doors open because anyone could walk in - for any reason!
Sexual Misconduct Policy
It is a violation of the College of Eastern Utah's Sexual Misconduct policy for any employee or student to engage in sexual misconduct.
It is the policy of the College to provide fair expeditious and uniform procedures by which claims of sexual misconduct may be investigated and resolved and to safeguard the rights of the victim and the accused.

What Do You Do if You Are a Rape Victim
If You are a Victim
Many victims/survivors of sexual assault/violence, don't know where to turn for help or what to do after an assault. They may be ashamed to talk to anyone or they may try and act as if nothing has happened. They tend to blame themselves for something that was not their fault. They may feel alone and not know what to do or where to go for help. If you are a victim/survivor or know someone who is/has been, the suggestions listed below may help.
- Remember, it is not your fault.
- Get help quickly.
- Talk to someone you can trust or contact the Rape Crisis line (1-888-412- 1100). The Rape Crisis line can connect you with an advocate who is trained and on your side. The advocate can help you through the process and assist you in getting the resources you need.
- If the assault has just happened, don't douche, bathe or change clothes until you have talked to someone such as an advocate, the police or sought medical help. Valuable evidence needed to seek legal action against your assailant may be destroyed
- If it has been awhile since the assault happened, don't feel that it is too late. You can still report and it may be possible to still gather evidence.
- See medical help. One source of medical help is the Sexual Assault Resource Services Coordinator (435-613-5629) at the Student Health and Wellness Clinic on the Price Campus or Karolyn Romero (435-678-2201 ext. 161) on the San Juan Campus. They can assist you with getting the medical help you need, emergency contraception, an advocate, etc.
- Refer to phone numbers on back. These agencies are here to help assist you in getting the resources you need, with filing charges against assailant, changing living arrangements, etc.
Remember, it is not your fault and you are not alone. No one asks to be raped. No means No. Reporting can get you the help you need and possibly prevent your assailant from assaulting someone else.
Victims/survivors of sexual assault have several options. The College of Eastern Utah has a Sexual Misconduct policy which outlines your rights as a victim/survivor. These rights are outlined in the college catalog and on the USU Eastern website at: http://eastern.usu.edu/studentservice.htm#17 and http://az.ceu.edu/intratnet/student/SexHaras4-17.html
You may contact the Dean of Students (435-613-5207) or the Student Health & Wellness Clinic (435-613-5629) for more information about these policies.
Medical Advice
Seek medical attention even if you don't think you've been hurt. The best judge of injuries is a medical professional. Immediate medical care is essential to assure that you haven't suffered internal injuries, pregnancy prevention, treatment for possible sexually transmitted infections (STI's), as well as for collecting evidence.
Again, medical help should be sought as soon as possible. Even if you do not intend to report the sexual assault at this time, it is important to be examined in case you change your mind later and to receive medical attention you may need.
Campus Rape/Sexual Assault/Violence...Just the Facts
- Acquaintance rape/sexual assault is more common than left-handedness, heart attack or alcoholism. 84% know their attacker, and 57% of the rapes/sexual assaults happened on dates.
- 1 in 4 college women are the victims of rape/sexual assault and attempted rape/sexual assault
- 75% of male students and 55% of female students involved in a date rape/sexual assault, had been drinking or using drugs. Although drugs and alcohol do not give an offender an excuse to commit a sex crime, it can make the offender and/or the victim feel more relaxed, thus placing them in al situation that they normally would avoid.
- Victims/survivors of rape/sexual assault, are three times more likely to experience a major depression. Emotional support is very important. Take advantage of any counseling services available to you.
- 25% of women who reported rape did not report until over 24 hours after the rape occurred. Rape/sexual assault has long been recognized as one of the most under-reported of all crimes. You can file a report at any time.
- Sexual violence has nothing to do with how the victim/survivor is dressed. It is a crime of power, control and violence - not lust. Rapist thrive on vulnerability and opportunity - not sex appeal.
- In 2002, one in every eight rape victims were male. 98% of the time, men are sexually assaulted by one or more heterosexual males.
Remember, if you or someone you know is a survivor of rape/sexual assault, this was not your fault and you made the best choices and decisions possible at that time.

Every trader would love to enter only winning trades, right?
This isn't realistic, though. Stocks fluctuate for many reasons, often inexplicably. I have found over the years that the real challenge to trading success is sticking with losers and hoping that the trade turns around. They don't. Similarly, many traders don't stay with a trade long enough, slapping themselves on the back for a single that could have easily been a double, to use baseball talk.
While there are trading systems that seek to identify more winning trades than losers, with the hope that the net result is positive, my approach is different. Instead, I try to find situations where I think that the downside in the short-term is limited but the upside is 10% or so within two weeks, depending on the volatility of the stock.
When I structure a trade, which is designed to expire after two weeks and usually does so more quickly, I look for situations where I think that the up/down ratio is at least 4X. This is typically, then, trying to make 10% but risking 2.5%. The beauty of this philosophy is that that one can be wrong more often than right, but still do very well. Here is the math, based on trades that close right (10% gain) or badly (2.5% loss):
In this example, as long as the trades work just once every five times, we break even (before consideration of commissions). On the other hand, the two-week return is 1.7% if we are right only one out of every three times! 1.7% may not sound like a lot, but there are 26 two-week periods in a year. Just multiplying the 1.7% and not compounding it, this would be an annual return of 44.2%.
Now that I probably have your attention, it should be obvious to you that we don't expect to win more often than we lose. The reality is that when you control risk tightly, you will get stopped out a lot. We are able to win big when we do win, and we stick to our discipline at all times.
We are looking for short-term opportunities, willing to risk only a little and understanding that we may lose more often than we win, but the wins are so much bigger than the losses that they net result is a win where it counts - the wallet. We rely on both Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis to pick these trades, and we are always disciplined in how we manage them.

Janardhana Temple About 2000 years old, the temple is said to be built after a Pandyan King came to the site to do penance for a crime he committed. Legend has it that the Lord pardoned the King and in return asked him to build a temple at the site. The temple atop the hill is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Lord Hanuman. Non-Hindus are not allowed into the inner sanctum of the temple, but are permitted to walk around it.
Sivagiri Mutt Located 3 kms east of the Janardhanaswamy temple, the Sivagiri Mutt is devoted to Social Reformer, Sree Narayana Guru (1855-1928) who advocated the doctrine of 'One caste, one religion and one God' for humanity. Every afternoon, 'sadhya' (feast) is served at the mutt for just Rs.10. The Sivagiri Gurusamadhi, Sivagiri Sarada Mutt & Sivagiri Vaidika Madom are close by.
Anjengo Fort The Anjengo Fort stands on 'Anjengo', a piece of land sandwiched between the backwaters and the sea. Built in 1695 by the Portuguese, this fort served as the main garrison of the Dutch East India Company during the 17th and 18th centuries. There are several tombstones at Anjengo, with the earliest one dating back to 1704.

Everything Happens For A Reason ... Yeah Right!
Everything happens for a reason… yeah right… or so I believed…
by Laura Kendall
Everything happens for a reason. Yeah right! Or so I believed.
For many years it has been impossible for me to wrap my mind around this saying. I've been on a never-ending quest of WHY. A quest that finally ended just a few days ago when I started reading a book titled - Everything happens for a reason (finding the true meaning of the events in our lives) by Mira Kirshenbaum. Thanks to this amazing book, I now know without a shadow of a doubt why the horrific catalyst of events that happened and forever altered my life and the way I see life, had to happen.
For so many years I stayed rooted in the story of my past - why? why? why? I'd ask repeated. Why did this happen to me? Why was I betrayed by so many pivotal people, family members and the born again Christian church I lived my life for? People who loved money far more than they ever loved me. Why did I lose my family, life style, faith all in one powerful swoop?
As I started reading this book and asking myself the series of simple questions in it, things became blindingly clear. These events had to happen in order for me to become the woman I am today. The story I live today is far different from when these events happened. This book made me realize I've actually made a pretty darn good life for myself. For the first time in my life, at the age of 51, I actually love myself. I believe in myself. I finally know that my beliefs, wants, needs, passions, voice to be heard - MATTER!
I have to confess that up until I was badly assaulted in 2010, while in the performance of my job as a paramedic, I wallowed in my past story and I had the self-esteem of a rock. I was someone who didn't feel like I mattered. I had no voice. I took on the beliefs, wants, needs of others because they told me I should. I was not equipped than to really see the truth - that I do matter as does everyone else in this world. No one of us is better than the other. No one of us should ever push our beliefs or wants or needs on another person. Whether we realize it or not our actions and words have profound effects on people in our lives.
It took the assault, the trial (facing my assailant) and going into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, for me to finally wake up and start figuring out me. I now realize that I have been on the most amazing journey. A journey not to the center of the earth - but to the center of Laura J. Kendall. A journey certainly not over. I still have times where I slip back to the old me - the old way of thinking, but now with my lessons learned and the meanings I have gotten from this book, I can pick up the oar and row my ass right out of the old- why me- lagoon and into fresh, clear, clean water of thinking.
I have been feeling this for a while now, but couldn't put it into words or true action.
