ATLANTA, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- MDdatacor(R), Inc. and Wellmark(R) Blue Cross and Blue Shield today released the first set of results of a quality improvement program of more than 9,000 Wellmark members living with diabetes. The dramatic results showed a significant improvement in both process and patient outcome measures.
Wellmark and MDdatacor Collaboration
The results are part of Wellmark's Collaboration on Quality(R) Incent and Reward Best Practices primary care initiative, a collaboration between Wellmark and network physicians to promote the improved quality and efficiency of health care. Wellmark contracted with MDdatacor to provide a technology platform that helps doctors identify gaps in patient care, as well as opportunities to enhance treatment for their patients, through access to clinical data.
"Providing physicians with actionable data at the point-of-care creates opportunities to enhance patient care," said Tim Roche, co-founder, president and CEO of MDdatacor. "MDdatacor has the unique ability to capture clinically-relevant information right from the physician's own patient records. Physicians find the data to be more credible because it is based on clinical data and not solely on claims data."
MDdatacor's patented and interoperable CareInformatix(TM) platform provides the most comprehensive patient information through collecting and analyzing data from all available sources in a physician practice, including electronic medical records, lab, registry and practice management systems, dictated transcriptions and claims.

Steak Frites Restaurant Review: This bistro in Union Square serves all the classics. The signature entrecôte de Paris, a dry-aged Angus rib-eye, is tender and juicy enough to satiate any hardcore carnivore. The pan-seared sea scallops, cushioned atop a mint-accented lobster risotto, is a show-stealer---especially when complemented by sides like house-cut french fries. |

Benitez slams exit rumours
07 Jan 2008 - 08:08:12
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez was defiant about his future with the club after seeing the Reds held to a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup third round at Luton Town.
Morning press reports had again suggested that the Spaniard could be set to leave Anfield, but Benitez insists he is more than happy to stay put.
He told reporters: "I love the club and the fans and want to stay.
"I have two years left on my contract and if I could stay for two years more, I would be very happy.
"I love the club, fans. I want to stay. We are working together trying to improve the squad now and for the future.
"All I think is that we scored a goal today and should have controlled the game, I don't need to answer questions about anything else.
"In the first half we had some chances and they had some chances. After we scored the goal, we conceded a goal three minutes later.
"I am happy because we will have another game at Anfield. That is positive.
"We are still in the cup and we will continue trying to win. I am confident it will be different at Anfield."

Fat Joe has proven that he has the ability to recruit a lineup that will make his remixes way hotter than the original. This is certainly the case with on the remix to Make It Rain. Lil' Wayne is back again and Joey Crack has recruited both T.I. and Rick Ross to spit fire alongside him. As phenomenal as that sounds, the starting line up is not complete, as Chi-town's own R. Kelly adds his signature finesse to the vocals… all done over a dope Scott Storch beat. This song is ridiculous! If you liked the original you will LOVE the remix!

She sat quietly, letting the snow fall on her long dark hair and everything around her. She just didn't care anymore. I should just freeze and die here, the immortal thought, although she knew it's not possible.
"Why did I let him... again... Hambo... I..."
Marcy began to sob, wrapping her hands around her knees. "...That... globdamn..." The sobs formed into a heartbreaking cry, echoing between the ice mountains.
The voice was accompanied by a sound of steps in the snow. She knew this sound.
"...B-Bonnibel?," she sniffed. "What.."
Before she could finish, a warm blanket wrapped around her. The princess was wearing a warm jacket, but above it... the band shirt Marceline gave to her, so long ago.

Photography Technique / Re: POLL: Do you wide-screen frame/crop?
« on: February 22, 2015, 11:15:01 PM »
I stitch 16:10 (mostly for screen) or 2:1 or whatever works best, possibly 5:2 (like 10K+ by 4K+ in resolution).
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
The 85 1.8 seems like a good choice.
I had that lens and it was excellent. And if you're shooting primarily about f5.6 there's no need to even think about the pricey 1.2 version. At f5.6 one probably won't be able to tell much difference. The 100 f2 is great as well, but think you will find it a tad long on crop.
Frankly, same with the 70-200 series, if that interests you - the f4 version is significantly lighter, cheaper and for all intents and purposes, JUST AS SHARP as the 2.8 II version. I know; I have both. At f4 the 2.8 will have brighter corners on FF but at 5.6, little to no difference.
Do you think that 35 and 50 are too close in focal length for crop to own both and maintain a non-redundant set-up?
I have both. I use the 50 ART more than the 35 ART but only because I since bought the 16-35 f4 L. The 50mm you can use for portrait work. The 35 you really cant. You have to get so close to get a frame filling headahot that you will distort normal features. Stick with longer focal lengths for portrait work unless you're doing something wide
The M lens is smaller and sharper. I would get it.
Glad to have these insights. Still on the fence between adopting the M3 or abandoning the M system to get a xxxD second body. If Canon would release a down-scaled 17-55mm f/2.8 for M, or a couple more small, fast primes, that might make the biggest difference. Or a compact macro. Much as I like the 22mm, the 18-55 is just too slow; the 11-22 is too pricey; and the 55-200 is physically too long and way too slow (and just about useless unless AF really is worlds faster on M3).
With a tiny body that lacks a truly substantial grip, the handling of any zoom lens (other than maybe a theoretical power zoom) is going to be dicey because the torque applied to the zoom ring can be enough to destabilize your grip on the camera body--particularly when holding the camera out from your body to compose on an LCD. A stiff ring like on the Tamron 24-70mm VC makes it useless in combination with the M. Primes just handle better.
I think I may be convincing myself to bag it and just go with a Rebel T6s (760D).
From the options you listed, there is very little doubt that the 70-200 f/2.8L ii is the best option. That being said, the 85L is (in my opinion) Canon's best portrait lens and wow is it good. The 70-200 f/2.8L ii, is a very close second.
In the name of trying to fight off GAS would you be so kind as to review my lens line-up? I pretty much do it all minus sports. My daughter's high school volleyball career is over and my son is about to kick off 4+ years in a pretty amazing high school marching/jazz band career. Low-level soccer will likely still be in the mix, though, and I probably won't do much college volleyball.Your approach seems to me to make a lot of sence. The only objection for me in crop sensors it that 85mm is way too long for many aplications. 50mm FL is rather more usable.
I also do a lot of portraits, landscape, street, travel, etc.
My camera is a 70D and will likely stick with crop. With that, does this make sense?:
- Canon 10-18
- Canon 35 2.0 IS (had a 50mm Sigma Art, but there didn't seem to be a whole lot of difference)
- Canon 85 1.8
- Canon 100-400 II (not yet obtained and will possibly sell my 200 2.8 since it's not used a lot and I could use the 85 when really needing the low light performance and the zoom when needing the focal length - although it might be tough at times indoors)
Thanks for any advice to include good-to-go, almost all the time, with those 4.

The 10-18 is very good (though it's a shame the even better Rokinon 12mm f2 doesn't seem to be available in EF mount), as are the two primes you mention. The Sigma 35mm Art has better coma control and can provide shallower focus than the 35mm IS, but I'm not sure it has any other advantages and the former may not matter on APS-C anyway. The 100L suggestion made by others is a marvelous lens too, but if you're trying to be minimalist you may not want the 85 1.8 as well - there's not much difference in focal length between those two. And since lens size seems to matter to you, are you sure you want the 100-400 rather than, say, the lighter and smaller 70-300L?
Hmm, how is that "minimalist"? That's pretty much a whole system, I mean normal.I tried out a Sigma 18-35 at a workshop and found it to produce the best pictures ever seen by man. But it was just a very large honker of a lens to be walking around with all the time. I feel like I come close with the 35 2.0 IS. The 18-35 sample that I tried did better than the Sigma 35 Art that I compared it to.
70D with a Sigma 18-35/1.8Art and 85/1.8 (while waiting for Sigma 50-100/1.8Art) could be the "minimalists arsenal", but adding an UWA and tele lenses makes it "whole" again . I would definitely skip the 35/2 IS and go for the Sigma instead.
With that, nothing compares with the 18-35, but it's just too big. Maybe a Sigma 18-50 2.8 Art one day?

Asia-PacificIndonesian cleric in terror arrest Abu Bakar Bashir held over alleged links to new al Qaeda-linked armed group. 09 Aug 2010 05:55 GMT Rumors circulated for weeks that Bashir was going to be arrested over alleged links to armed group [EPA] 'Bad intentions' "I received a report from security last night that certain elements with bad intentions were lurking in the Ciwidey area [west Java] to do something against me," Yudhoyono was quoted as saying by the Antara state news agency. Dozens of suspects linked to the group have been arrested or killed in recent months. Rumors have circulated for weeks that Bashir, a fiery preacher known for propagating hatred against foreigners, was next on the list. "He was in his car on his way to deliver a sermon. When police stopped his car he didn't surrender, so they had to break his window to get to him," Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reported from Jakarta. "The head of the anti-terror desk of the government has confirmed that they have strong evidence that Abu Bakar Bashir is linked to several terror groups in the country. "One of them is a group that the police had raided in Aceh a couple of month ago. More than 58 people have been arrested there, and 13 have been killed since that raid," our correspondent said. Sidney Jones, senior advisor of the International Crisis Group, told Al Jazeera that Bahir is likely to be charged with "suspicion of having provided financing to that group that was operating in Aceh". "I don't think his arrest will make a particular difference to the danger of terrorism in Indonesia," Jones said. Spiritual leader Intelligence agencies and the United Nations claim Bashir is the spiritual head of Jemaah Islamiyah, the al Qaeda-linked group responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists. He spent several years in prison for his involvement with the group, but was released in 2006. Bashir denies connections with Jemaah Islamiyah or terrorism stating he does not believe Jemaah Islamiyah exists. The preacher's son, Abdul Rohim, insisted his father, who went to Ciamis for a preaching engagement, was innocent. "He was heading back to Solo when police arrested him together with my mother," he said. "We appeal police to treat my parents well. ... He is innocent, he was just carrying out his obligations as a Muslim." Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team has a make-up game scheduled among its three games this weekend at home. The Hilltoppers were snowed out last weekend, but have rescheduled their game against the Cibola Cougars. That game will be played Sunday evening at the County Ice Rink. Along with that game, Los Alamos (11-7-1) will face the Permian Basin Pump Jacks (Odessa, Texas) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and again at 7 a.m. Sunday. Those three games will be final games of the season on home ice for Los Alamos. The Hilltoppers hit a rough patch late in the season, struggling against some of the top teams in the state, but broke a 7-game winless streak last week, thumping La Cueva 7-1. Currently, Los Alamos is tied for second with Coronado, Texas, in the New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League standings. Both teams have 23 points on the season. In the top spot once again is Franklin, Texas. The Cougars have lost just once all year and have collected 32 points in 18 games. Cibola, which handed Los Alamos its first loss of the year in December, is led on the offensive end by Cam Chiasson, who has 28 goals and 10 assists in 18 games. The 28 goals scored tops the NMIIHL.
The Albuquerque Isotopes will hold their annual job fair Saturday at Isotopes Park. The job fair will be from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at Isotopes Park. It is for seasonal employment for the upcoming 2015 season. Candidates will be interviewed for several positions both with the Isotopes and with Ovations Food Services. Available positions include bat boys, grounds crew, Fun Zone attendant, catering servers and concessions workers. Employment applications are available online at abqisotopes.com.
In a way, half the scoreboard was pretty much what Lobo Coach Craig Neal was looking for when he brought his University of New Mexico Lobo men's basketball team to Colorado Springs to play the Air Force Falcons. The Lobos held Air Force to 53 points — on the Falcons' home floor. That's pretty good. However, the 49 points the Lobos scored was not wanted and not expected in UNM's Mountain West loss Wednesday night in Clune Arena. "We have to get out of this final 4-minute funk," said Neal. "We became passive." Wednesday night, the funk actually was longer. The Lobos did not score in the final 6 minutes and 40 seconds of the game. The Lobos typically will lock down on defense in the final run to the gun. The Lobos typically will make some plays, make some drives, get some second-shot opportunities and get to the free-throw line. But that didn't happen Wednesday night in Colorado Springs. It was the Falcons making those kinds of plays they needed to win. "You can't have mental breakdowns," said Neal. "We make two or three stops, but they get second chances and they bang down threes."
ALBUQUERQUE — The Del Norte Knights girls basketball team came out swinging in the opening half of Wednesday night's contest against the Los Alamos Hilltoppers. Del Norte attacked the key in the first half and got some big early buckets to keep the pressure on the Hilltoppers throughout the early part of the game. But Los Alamos recovered in the second half. Behind Ashlynn Trujillo, the Hilltoppers pulled away in the fourth quarter and won Wednesday's big District 2-5A contest, 50-40. The Hilltoppers and the Knights were facing off for second place in the district standings, with both trying to keep pace with the Española Valley Sundevils. Both teams had already lost to the Sundevils in the first round of the 2-5A season, but both games were relatively close. Del Norte actually led 27-26 after the first half, taking advantage of Los Alamos' struggles to keep them out of the paint. Del Norte's guards, particularly reserve guard Malakah Martinez, were able to slash to the basket early. Martinez in particular proved tough to stop in the first half for Los Alamos. She had 8 of her team-high 11 points before the break.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team played about as good a first half as it had all season Tuesday. Unfortunately, that still wasn't enough to knock off the top team in District 2-5A. Los Alamos, led by freshman guard Antonio Trujillo, got off to a fast start against the Del Norte Knights. Trujillo made his first 6 attempts from the floor including two drives into traffic for layups in the first half to help Los Alamos jump out to a quick 9-3 lead. But toward the end of the second quarter and on into the third, the Hilltoppers (2-18 overall, 0-3 in 2-5A) were hit by the turnover bugaboo. The Hilltoppers turned the ball over 9 times, many of those becoming points for the Knights on the other end. Del Norte dominated the third quarter en route to a 64-45 win at Griffith Gymnasium. It was a disappointing finish for the Hilltoppers after such a good start. The Hilltoppers, who haven't won in over a month, were able to penetrate virtually at will against Del Norte's defense early, jumping out to a 16-15 lead after one quarter. Los Alamos led for a big chunk of the second quarter as well.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team rolled over the Bernalillo Spartans at home Monday night. Los Alamos had a 15-point lead at the half, then removed all doubt about the game in the third quarter. The Hilltoppers scored a 74-39 victory Monday at Griffith Gymnasium to pick up their second District 2-5A win of the season. Monday's game was a make-up from a snowed-out contest that was originally scheduled for Friday night. The Hilltoppers went into the game off their first loss of the district season. They fell at home to the Española Valley Sundevils Jan. 27 51-48. Despite going into that game on something of a down note, Los Alamos (18-3 overall, 2-1 in 2-5A) wasn't expected to have much trouble with the Spartans, who have won just 5 games all season. Los Alamos is currently 1 game behind the Sundevils in the 2-5A standings as it approaches the halfway point in the district season. It will have a tough game scheduled for Wednesday, however, to finish off the first half of 2-5A play when it heads to Del Norte. The Knights (11-8, 2-1) have won 4 of their last 5 games — their only loss during that stretch was to Española Valley — and 7 of their last 9. The Knights are also 6-1 at home this season.
One of the top scorers in the recent history of the Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer team will be taking her game to the next level. Former Hilltopper Catie McDonald signed her National Letter of Intent Monday to play soccer for Colorado College, which is located in Colorado Springs. McDonald will be a senior in high school for the 2015 season, but shortly after the conclusion of the 2014 season, she moved to Virginia, where she is scheduled to play prep soccer this coming fall. Before her departure, however, she made a big mark on the Hilltopper program. "I'm so proud of her. She's a great player," Los Alamos head coach AJ Herrera said. "She was a great leader for the Hilltoppers. She had a great year last year. When it comes to her college, she chose a quality program." McDonald had been a starter with Los Alamos since her freshman season. She was a two-time All-State selection and likely would've been a three-time selection had she not suffered a devastating injury midway through the 2012 season. In 2012, McDonald ran full-speed into a metal post during an attack and missed the rest of the season. It took McDonald nearly a year to recover from the incident before she could play competitive soccer again.

awww so sorry about the puppy!
From your previous story, the puppy obviously came from a bad home/breeder, perhaps you should report them so any dogs/puppies they have can be checked out.

she came from our dog... So no it wasn't because of us. And when we got our dog we didn't know she was bred because the petiole we got her from didn't know.... None of the other puppies have anything wrong with them it was only her that wasn't growing at the same rate as the rest.

US 6782120 B2 Abstract It is proposed to combine the advantages of PIN-based protection systems and biometry-based protection systems and avoid the disadvantages of the respective systems by generating the PIN biometrically uniquely. For this purpose it is provided that only characteristic data that are uniquely reproducible are derived from the determined biometric raw data. On the basis of these uniquely reproducible characteristic data a key record is then generated that either constitutes the PIN code or is used to generate the PIN code. The PIN code is thus always reproducible uniquely on the basis of the biometric data. The user need no longer remember the PIN code, and the PIN code cannot be passed on to third parties.

Description This invention relates to a method for authenticating a person on the basis of biometric data and in particular to a method for generating a key record for a verification process from this person's biometric data. The invention relates in addition to a system for generating the key record and to a system for authenticating the person on the basis of biometric data. For identifying or verifying a person, access and admission systems frequently use a key associated with this person and including a discrete record. This may be for example a personal identification number (PIN). The PIN is stored as a reference key either directly in the access-protected system or in a separate data carrier serving as an ID card for the access-protected system. The data carrier can itself constitute an access-protected system, for example a credit card, money card or the like. A disadvantage of PIN-based systems is that the PIN is easily forgotten and therefore frequently written down, which lowers the system security. Furthermore, PINs are not bound to the person but only relate to the person. That is, the PIN can be passed on to other people or spied out, which uncontrollably increases the group of entitled users. Entry of the PIN with or without presentation of a user card is thus no proof that the legitimate user is present. These problems do not exist where a biometric physical or behavior-dependent feature of the user is used instead of a PIN for verifying the user's identity. Such biometric features are uniquely bound to the person. They can be neither passed on nor forgotten. A potential third party wanting to procure unauthorized access to the protected system has only a limited number of reference features to present on a trial basis. A disadvantage of biometric user verification is that the comparison between the stored biometric data and the particular presented biometric data captured by sensor technology is only a comparison in terms of similarity, permitting only a statement about how likely it is that the data being compared match. This is because currently available sensor systems are unsuitable for always deriving the same biometric data from a presented biometric feature with absolutely exact reproducibility. Therefore, a biometric data record stored as a reference record in a smart card, for example, is only tested for a necessary degree of match with a newly captured biometric record in hitherto known authentication or verification methods. In addition, elaborate biometric software with complex biometric algorithms runs in the background during the verification phase. Verification by means of biometric algorithms is thus relatively elaborate. Biometric user verification is fundamentally more reliable than mere PIN comparison for the abovementioned reasons (user-bound, cannot be forgotten or passed on). However, it is not transferable to conventional security systems with PIN comparison without requiring elaborate changes in the file systems, smart card applications and transaction sequences. With existing applications using PIN verification for user authentication, introducing biometric verification would frequently involve having to replace all cards in circulation, since card application and file system would be new. Further, interventions in the transaction sequence would be necessary so that the online check of the PIN would have to be replaced by an off-line check of e.g. an iris pattern. Furthermore, considerable time and security effort would be needed for carrying out the biometric algorithm and for data transfer, also resulting in difficulties in the standardization and definition of suitable interfaces for open applications. The problem of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of biometric user verification without losing the advantages of biometric user verification over PIN verification. The invention exploits the fact that although a biometric feature can never be captured by sensor technology completely in the form of uniquely reproducible raw data for generating a reference or verification record, the particular captured raw data have a sufficient number of common features to permit their origin with the same feature bearer to be plausibly proved statistically. Therefore, according to the invention, only a comparatively small number of especially characteristic data, instead of the complete biometric reference or verification data, is obtained from the biometric raw data in order to generate from this characteristic raw record a discrete record as a reference key or verification key record, which is always uniquely reproducible. This discrete key record is then used either directly as a PIN substitute or for generating a unique PIN ("biometrically generated PIN"). The biometrically generated PIN is generated in the terminal where the sensor unit is installed, and transferred to the system as a PIN, optionally protected cryptographically. As with the conventional PIN, it may well happen that several people in the group of users are assigned the same PIN. It is known from Seal C et al., "Iris Recognition for User Validation," British Telecommunications Engineering, London, GB, Vol. 16, no. 2, July 1997, pages 113-117, to derive a characteristic data record from an iris texture. The parameters form a code that constitutes a unique description of the eye. This code is structured to allow fast comparison with the iris code of authorized users. The described method does not require an exact match to be found. The identification algorithm allows identification even with a mismatch of up to 33%. Since the generated code is consequently not uniquely reproducible, this method is unsuitable for reducing the abovementioned disadvantages. Generating and using the biometrically generated PIN makes it unnecessary to store a complex biometric reference record on the data carrier card, e.g. a smart card or magnetic card, and/or in the system. The biometrically generated PIN is instead stored and used like a conventional PIN. No interventions in sequence structure and data management of the applications are necessary, so that the biometry can be integrated in particular into existing PIN-based systems and card applications without any special organizational effort. The PIN comparison can remain unchanged in the background system or on the card. Insofar as today's systems provide for the users to be able to define their PINs themselves, cards in circulation can also continue to be used unchanged with a new, biometrically generated PIN. In the transition period, biometric PIN generation can optionally be provided for PIN entry until all systems are equipped with sensors for capturing the characteristic biometric raw data. Optional use of both PIN systems will still be expedient in the future for users with temporarily or permanently poor feature quality. Such users can use classic PIN entry if needed while employing the same interface as biometry users. Biometric PIN generation involves unique mapping, that is, a person's presented and sensed biometric raw data are always mapped onto the same PIN. The biometri-biometrically generated PIN thus combines the advantages of conventional PINs with biometry while simultaneously overcoming the disadvantages of conventional PIN and biometric systems. The biometric feature used may be for example a fingerprint or the iris structure or any other biometric feature, for example a characteristic behavior pattern of the person, e.g. a dynamic signature, i.e. the relations of for example pressure and/or speed occurring during signing are evaluated. There are numerous possibilities for generating from characteristic biometric raw data a discrete key record that is always uniquely reproducible and is usable either directly as a PIN code or for generating a multidigit PIN code. In the following some of these possibilities will be explained by way of example in connection with fingerprint verification, the attached FIGURE graphically representing only one possibility. The FIGURE shows direction vector image 1 for the dermal ridges of a fingerprint whose center ("core") is located roughly in the middle of the direction vector image. For deriving characteristic data of the fingerprint, direction vector image 1 is subdivided into areas 2 with similar total orientation whose weighted centroids 3 form linking points for graph 4 derived from the fingerprint. This graph is "fault-tolerant" to a certain extent since its structure is influenced only negligibly by the quality of the sensors used for capturing the fingerprint raw data. That is, the characteristic data derived from the fingerprint or derived graph 4 differs only slightly from other characteristic data derived from the same fingerprint, regardless of the particular raw data actually determined by sensors. Derived graph 4 is thereupon compared in comparison algorithm 6 with comparative graphs 4′ stored in graph data base 5, each comparative graph 4′ having a multidigit number associated therewith. After comparison algorithm 6 has been carried out, biometrically generated PIN ("bioPIN") 7 in accordance with the multidigit number affiliated with closest comparative graph 4′ is associated with the captured fingerprint and thus to the person to be identified. According to another example for generating a key record, it is provided that the rough orientation of the dermal ridges of the fingerprint is used as characteristic data of the fingerprint for classifying the fingerprint as a certain fingerprint type on the basis of this rough orientation. The standardized FBI classification system evaluates for this purpose not orientations but relative positions of the centers or delta points. (A delta point is a point around which the lines form a triangular shape). As in the FBI classification system, types can include for example "left loop," "right loop," "whorl," "regular arch," "tented arch," "double loop." However, the FBI classification system with only six classes is too unspecific for the intended purposes and must therefore be extended to at least 1,000, preferably 10,000 or even more, classes, with each class standing for a special PIN code. A further suitable method for generating a key record is based on the statistical evaluation of biometric raw data that are closely related to the so-called minutiae. Minutiae are the characteristic points of a fingerprint, namely line endings and line bifurcations in the fingerprint image. Most fingerprint verification algorithms use these points for purposes of comparison, but for the present invention it is unsuitable to directly use the minutiae because individual minutiae may be no longer present, slightly displaced or newly added in the currently captured image depending on the sensor, lighting conditions, local injuries and other factors. To permit a discrete key record to be generated reproducibly for the purpose of the present invention, the minutiae are evaluated statistically since statistical evaluation is fault-tolerant with respect to specific minutiae. That is, even if the statistical evaluation results are slightly different the evaluation results are still so close to each other that they are within a fault-tolerance limit, so that each evaluation leads to a unique result and thus to a unique key record. The minutiae can be evaluated statistically in different ways. a) A template of concentric circles or circular segments can be placed around the center of the fingerprint, and the average number of minutiae within the predepredefined concentric rings or circular segments or segments of the rings determined. b) The average number of minutiae having a predefined orientation can be determined, the predefined orientation being defined for example by the direction of a connecting line between centers and/or delta points. c) The standard deviation of the cumulated, weighted distance of all minutiae from the center of the fingerprint can be determined. These data can then be statistically processed to generate reproducibly unique data from the unique minutiae of a fingerprint, even if individual minutiae were not, or not identically, captured. Like the minutiae, other characteristic data can also be evaluated statistically, for example the number of dermal ridges between centers and delta points. On the basis of the biometric raw data, an average line density of the fingerprint image can also be determined, for example by a fast Fourier transform of the image, the determined average line density being used to generate a key record or directly a PIN code. In corresponding fashion, the local density or the average distance of sweat pores on the dermal ridges can be used as characteristic data from the biometric raw data for generating the key record. The characteristic data can likewise take into account whether further intermediate lines are present between the actual dermal ridges, which occasionally happens. Finally, it is possible to perform a pattern classification by fractal image compression and/or by means of neural networks, each class of patterns again having a specific PIN code allocated thereto. Numerous other variants are possible for obtaining a key record on the basis of characteristic data derived from the biometric raw data, whereby the aforementioned possibilities can also be used in combination.

Single strand stainless fishing leader is what I use. It has double the resistance of steel wire, won't corrode or stretch or break as easily, and lasts longer
It is just as easily available as Harbor freight mig wire -- here for instance: http://warehouse.haddrellspoint.com/...e-148293-1.htm free shipping there, too. On the other hand, you can use the hot wire calculator to determine bow length for your present wire without a dimmer switch by setting up the spreadsheet with your voltage (12), your available power supply amperage (20), your adjustment (100% for fixed power supply), your desired heat level (try 0.6), your wire resistivity (not sure for your wire --but try the steel value at 325). Then just try different desired cutting lengths in that box until the calculated wire thickness matches what you have on hand. Looks to me like 65 inches or so. Since a five and a half foot cutting bow looks impractically large, you could take say 30 inches of that wire and wind an air coil resistor out of it. To do that I would wind it around a broom stick or something similar, then remove the stick. Put that coil in series with your 36" bow and it should drop the current to somewhere around 3.3 amps, according to the hot wire calculator. In other words, make it act like a 66" long wire. Just divided into two lengths. Remember that the coil will get just as hot as your cutting wire, so mount it someplace (on an insulator of course) so it is sticking up in the air, but where nothing will likely touch it. Remember also however that only the electrically active part will get hot, so most air resistor coils terminate in wire legs attached to an insulator mechanically with electrical connection points above that so the legs don't get hot. If you use at least one alligator clip to connect to it, you can move the clip to different parts of the coil to get more heat. I would start out with the full coil length however -- which is the lowest heat setting. All this is predicated on the resistivity of your wire being 325 or so -- that's just an estimate, since only one person has reported data results for steel wire when I originally asked for them in developing the HW Calculator. Note also that mig wire is often thinly copper coated, which may effect the resistivity Therefore also, if you do decide to do this with your Harbor Freight MIG wire, please report your results here -- that will help in making the calculator more accurate. No guarantees on this working, and safety of your rig and any experiment is your responsibility. But that's how I would do it if that was the problem I wanted to solve that way. Which I don't. A router speed controller and old style automotive battery charger with stainless steel .011 single strand fishing leader is my choice of weaponry when it comes to melting foam. ps. and as always I recommend putting a fuse in line with any experimental hot bow -- automotive style is good, and say 5 amps. That would have protected your LED dimmer as well. |

Thanks for the info on stainless steel fishing leader. I will look into it.
Your suggestion of making an air-coil was what I had in mind of doing in terms of increasing the length of wire without increasing the size of the bow. Although, it seems that steel leader would be the better way to go. I will see if I get back to the welding wire. The welding wire I got was supposed to be carbon steel welding wire. It is, however, copper colored. So, I guess that it is coated with copper. It stretched quite a bit, I have to say, when heated. Adding a fuse inline in between the power supply and the hot wire (now that my LED dimmer is blown) will be a good idea. By the way, I think that the part that blew in the LED dimmer is called the "triac". I guess that there is no way to resurrect my LED dimmer now, right? I do have great respect for electricity and I will be careful with it! Thanks! |

The triac could be replaced, but someone with more component knowledge than I have would have to recommend a part number. |

To switch it off you remove the power supply which is why it is used with an AC supply. The point on the AC curve that it is switched on will be how much power, is transmitted. So, if you switch the triac on halfway through its cycle on the plus and minus parts of the wave form, you will be getting half power. A triac rather than an SCR is used as it will switch ON on positive and negative cycles. You'd need 2 SCRs to do the same job and a bit more circuitry to do the same job. When I say AC (alternating current) I'm talking about the voltage level being a sine wave and as it passes through zero that is (or near) the point that a triac or SCR will switch off. There is actually a minimum current that a triac or SCR will stay on at, different for differently rated devices. The cycle rate is 60 Hz in USA and some other parts of the world, 50 Hz in Britain and the colonies. If you blew up your LED controller it sounds like you supplied it with DC (direct current). |

If the triac is in a DC controller there there has to be a chopping circuit to change it to AC or at least chopped DC. What is the blown device's number? |
Nov 01, 2012, 09:47 PM | |
Thanks so much for trying!!
Thank you, vidiy and Mac50L, for trying to solve the issue of the "triac". I am sure if the blown component is really a triac. I saw a picture of a triac on some other posts and thought that it looked just like it.
The LED dimmer is not that expensive (~ $4.97). It would end up much cheaper to get one than trying to repair it myself. I am going to follow vidiy's advice in getting stainless steel leader wire and put a 5 amp car fuse in between my power supply and the dimmer. Hopefully, I will be able to report some success. At the meantime, any suggestions are more than welcome! Thanks, guys! |

The problem is any power semiconductor looks like that. A pair of diodes, a transistor, MosFet, etc. As the unit is for DC use I'd be most surprised if it is a triac. Far more likely to be a power transistor or MosFet. The centre leg of the device is internally connected to the heatshink metal on the back so if the centre leg has been cut off as it looks, the metal back is soldered to the PC board. The metal often/usually extends out the other side from the legs and has a mounting hole in it. They are often screwed to a larger heatsink with a mica or silicon rubber washer electrically insulating the semiconductor from the heatsink.

Wanted to include some of my experiences. I have found that K&S 0.015 wire (usually the smallest diameter available) makes a decent cutting wire. Don't know what the resistivity is. I always used it with a Lionell train transformer and it cut well with a 30" bow set on 10 mph.
Recently I read where board member chambo88 took a plastic dustpan purchased at a supermarket and cut out most of the flat pan part and strung the wire where the scooping edge used to be then used it for a hand-held bow. Built in handle, neat! |

Kevin Kolb wasn't around to talk to reporters Friday. He probably was home nursing his many aches and pains in the aftermath of Arizona's first loss of the season, a 17-3 Thursday night manhandling at St. Louis.
Kolb was sacked nine times after being nailed eight times a week earlier. When he wasn't sacked, he often was slammed to the ground after barely getting off the pass.
The Cardinals' offensive line, already considered a weak link, was exposed in a nationally televised flop that, among Arizona fans, erased the euphoria of the team's best start in 38 years.
The Cardinals again had no running game to speak of and their three points were their fewest in a game since 2004, three years before Ken Whisenhunt took over in Arizona.

"An Outrageous Adventure of Coincidence and Luck!"
This story totally deserves the international bestseller title. With infectious characters and delightful dark humor Jonasson has brought a very unique telling of some of modern history's darkest moments to the table. Karlsson's a protagonist you can really stand behind, his ever-constant jovial perspective on life seeps into your head as you read - reading just a chapter easily turned a few of my own sour moods around! Through lies, deceit, and unbelievable outcomes of some of the stickiest situations imagined it's odd that friendship, however short-lived on occasion, abounds in this story. Its appearance brought this hilarious tale, down-to-earth and let the best of human nature shine.
I don't think I'd have enjoyed this book as much as I did if it weren't for my digesting it in an audio form. The narrator did a marvelous job and the story unfolded so perfectly, it just felt like a story that needed to be read aloud. Highly entertaining and laugh-out loud funny.
"A Heartfelt Page-Turner!"
After scanning through several reviews I observed a running theme with statements from readers of this book: "this is not a romance, this isn't chick lit, the valentine's-esque cover of the book is a false alarm," etc. All of which were high praises in this context and peaked my interest. So after being on the fence, I was sufficiently left with the desire to actually read it. I still didn't know a. what the story was actually about. b. how impacting said story would be.
Moyes covers a lot of ground in this novel. Her characters, physical and emotional, flaws are melancholy yet inspiring. She elegantly delves into a topic riddled with controversy, allowing the reader to truly examine both seemingly hopeless options at hand. Dramatic, but without Hollywood glamour, this novel is a challenging story that will make you question your moral understanding of life. As other reviewers have previously nailed on the head, this is not a romance. But it is a story about love and the human spirit.
The narrators did a lovely job as I listened to the book in two long stretches is was quite a wonderful show!
