Direct Current Measurement: a NEPTUNE Power System white paper Harold Kirkham 1. Scope Question addressed This document addresses the measurement of direct current for NEPTUNE. The purpose is to review the methods that might be used for control and for protective relaying, and make recom- mendations for consideration by the Power Group. Definition There are typically two aspects to the problem of current measurement: transduction either into some useful scale or into some other quantity, and isolation from the circuit being measured. For this white paper, current measurement means the obtaining of a value at one location of the current at another, with suitable isolation from the voltages involved. Thus, it is specifically intended that the isolation function be included in these considerations. 2. Review of available current measurement methods A Taxonomy Consider first the transduction aspects of the measurement of current. A current in a wire is associated with a magnetic field (in the wire itself and in the space surrounding it) and with a volt-drop in the series resistance of the wire. Both of these effects can be used for current measurement. The magnetic field can be measured in many ways: Force (the ordinary ammeter is essentially a force measuring device that compares the force generated by the field with the strength of a spring), Magnetoresistance (materials exist whose resistance is a function of the applied magnetic field), Hall Effect (a voltage is generated in a material in proportion to the applied field and the magnitude of a control current), Magnetostriction (materials exist whose physical size is a function of the applied magnetic field), Faraday Effect (rotation of the plane of polarization of light in an optical material). If the current is ac, there is also the possibility of inductive effects, but we are concerned here with direct current. In addition to the magnetic field effects, the volt-drop across a resistor can be measured easily enough. The question of isolation is not so readily answered, however. A good current measurement requires that the series resistance be low – and this means that the volt-drop across it will be small, while the full voltage of the circuit appears as a common-mode voltage in the measuring system. Typically in the power world, if a transformer is not used, the voltages are so high that it is necessary to convert the voltage into a signal that can be transmitted via fiber optics. This conversion requires electronics operating at the full line potential – a possible but not always simple feat. For isolation in the magnetic sensors, the most common construction places a magnetic toroid around the current carrying conductor (thereby forming a single-turn primary winding). This toroid, and any secondary windings on it, are then easily isolated from the voltage of the primary. Table I summarizes the discussion as a taxonomy: Table I. A taxonomy of current measurement methods transduction method measurement effect isolation magnetic force usually results from the fact that the field extends through all magnetoresistance space Hall Effect magnetostriction magnetic field must be high, so this approach uses optical isolation Faraday Effect inherently optical electrical (volt-drop) voltage transformer or fiber optics For the purposes of the NEPTUNE power system, force-based methods can probably be ruled out. In most applications of this approach, the force is used simply as a way to obtain the deflection of a indicator, such as an instrument pointer, so the approach is not applicable. In the "force-balance" however, while the method is cumbersome, it does have some attractive attributes. Like a bridge, the deflection is zero at balance, so any aging of mechanical parts will have minimal effect. And because it works by a feedback method, it is linear over a large dynamic range. Magnetoresistance and the Hall effect are both amenable to implementations in which the measurement element is a "witness" to the magnetic field. The most accurate (and most common) approach is to place the sensor element in an air gap in a toroid, as shown in Figure 1. magnetic core sensing element air gap conductor Figure 1. Current measurement by sensing the magnetic field The approach shown in Figure 1 is applicable to the magnetoresistive, Hall, and magnetostrictive methods of current sensing. It suffers two problems because of the air gap. First, the measurement is sensitive to external fields, particularly as those caused by currents in nearby conductors. Second, the accuracy is poor, as the output depends on exactly where in the cross section of the toroid the sensing element is located. There is also some dependence on the location of the current-carrying conductor within the magnetic circuit, an effect that is exacerbated by a large air gap. A variation of the method dispenses with the magnetic circuit entirely, and uses the sensing element to "witness" the field in air. This approach has relatively low accuracy, as the output is normally quite position dependant. These defects are overcome by the methods in which the integral of the field is measured, rather than the field at a point near the conductor. The integral is, of course, around a closed loop encircling the conductor, so that Ampere's law (I = Hdl) is implemented, and the actual shape of the closed loop is immaterial. Square loops are used if the sensing is via bulk optics. Circular ones predominate otherwise. These arrangements are shown in Figure 2. sensing optics sensing fiber light path light path conductor conductor input fiber output fiber input fiber output fiber (a) Bulk Optics (b) Fiber Optics Figure 2. Optical current sensing with the Faraday Effect The main problem with optical current measurement is it is the rotation of the plane of polarization of the optical signal that is of interest, and this cannot be measured directly. It is necessary to convert the rotation to an amplitude, and to cancel out any signal amplitude variations that are due to other effects (such as connector losses, or temperature). The components needed to accomplish this are shown in Figure 3. Light Polarizer Analyzer Source Sensing Optics Detector L Faraday Sensor D Input Output Fiber Fiber Figure 3. Typical arrangement of optical components in a Faraday sensor Optical current measurement is therefore unavoidably complex, and justified only where the cost of this complexity can be justified, for example in very high voltage systems. Isolation For the optical methods, isolation is achieved simply so long as the measurement electronics are not close to the conductor. This applies whether the optical path is in free-space, in bulk optics, or in a fiber, see Figure 2. However, it is doubtful that the complexity of an optical system can be justified on the NEPTUNE power system, so we will not dwell on the matter. For the magnetic methods, isolation by a magnetic core should be possible. In the case of magnetoresistance, Hall, and magnetostrictive transducers, the flux in a magnetic core is measured in an air-gap in the core, see Figure 1. Provided suitable clearances are arranged, isolation is simple. However, the problems caused by the air gap warrant our looking further. In an ac system, current is conventionally scaled by a transformer before it is measured. The same philosophy is used in HVdc systems, but the transformer is a little different. The primary current is) arranged to pass through a single conductor in the center of a toroid (as is typical in power systems. Actually, for dc measurements, there are two toroids. Each toroid has an excitation winding, supplied from an external source. The excitation windings are arranged in series opposition. The system direct current affects the magnetization of the two cores in such a way that the current from the ac source is affected. In some implementations, the excitation winding is also used as a sense winding. In others, a separate winding is employed. Figure 4 shows the arrangement. saturable magnetic core primary conductor excitation and sensing winding Figure 4. "Current transformer" for direct current The technique may have existed in early HVdc schemes, before the invention of the fluxgate magnetometer in WWII. The principle of operation is the same. Fault-Current Tolerance During its expected 30-year life, NEPTUNE may experience as many as a dozen cable faults, most as a result of fishing. A cable fault results in a large momentary current as the cable capacitance discharges. The peak value of the current may be as high as a few hundred amps, many times the normal current being measured, and orders of magnitude higher than the minimum current that it may be necessary to detect. Some current measurement methods may be prone to problems because of this current. It is well- known in ac measurements that toroidal-core devices (such as current transformers) are susceptible to dc magnetization: this is one of the causes of protection problems in power systems subject to quasi-static induction during solar wind events. A core that is magnetized away from the center of its B-H loop will not read accurately, and must be demagnetized by the application of a large, exponentially-decaying ac excitation. For NEPTUNE, such magnetization would be possible at all current measurement sites between the fault and the shore. In view of the cost of accessing such a potentially large number of nodes, our design for current measurement must either be immune to such problems or it must include the extra complexity of a demagnetizing scheme. Leakage Detection To implement the metering and most of the protection functions of NEPTUNE, it will be necessary to measure the current at various locations in the node and on shore. However, to implement the detection of leakage currents on the LV side of the nodes, some other approach must be used. At MBARI, the leakage detection approach taken has been to "float" the load circuit, and ground one side of the supply through a high-value resistor. In order that there should be no place in the wiring that a fault to ground could exist, each side of the supply is grounded in turn. Since the grounding resistor is around 1 M, a current as small as 1 A can be detected easily. A problem with this approach is that there is a transient charging current every time the circuit ground is moved, and this must be accounted for in the detection system. One way to do this would be to disable detection until the transient had disappeared. This is how transformer differential protection is implemented in power systems. Another way would be to compensate for the current in the detection algorithm. This is what MBARI does. Another approach would be to ground both sides of the power supply output via a resistor, and to allow the possibility of a ground fault occurring that resulted in no ground current. Statistically, this must be unlikely. An alternative method would be to directly detect the difference in currents on the two sides of the power supply. That method is considered next. 3. Review of current comparison methods An approach called the current comparator, that somewhat resembles the dc current transformer, has been used for some time in the calibration of ac current transformers. A large current is passed through two transformers, the one being calibrated and a reference one with nominally the same ratio. An additional winding is provided on the reference core to drive the flux zero. (When there is zero flux, the transformer action is described exactly by the turns ratio.) By arranging the transformers secondaries in series opposition, the flux in the reference core is nearly zero. The additional drive needed to make it exactly zero is a measure of the errors of the device under test. The principles of the fluxgate sensor and the ac current comparator can be combined to produce a dc current comparator. Such a device has been used to calibrate dc measuring equipment, for example at the National Research Council of Canada, the Canadian counterpart to NIST. The minimal configuration of a dc current comparator would consist of a magnetic core with 5 windings. The windings would be two primaries (dc, wound so that the fluxes cancel), an excitation winding (ac), a sensing winding (ac), and a feedback winding (quasi-dc). A difference in current in the two primary windings moves the average operating point of the flux up or down the B-H curve of the material. The nonlinearity that this causes produces second harmonics. These are detected in a phase-sensitive detector, and used, after filtering, to produce a quasi-dc feedback to counter the average offset. The ampere-turns necessary to restore the operating point to symmetry is a measure of the difference current in the two primaries. More elaborate versions of this arrangement would have multiple cores, often referred to as a working core and a sensing core, and may employ magnetic shielding. For the purposes of NEPTUNE, where cost is a factor, the simpler arrangement may be adequate. The implementation of a low-cost current comparator for NEPTUNE application is discussed in Appendix A. 4. Comparison of current measurement methods Table II compares the current measurement methods discussed above. Table II.

Recommendation The best method in most respects is the series resistor method, but this method is ruled out by the cost, which results from dealing with the very large common mode voltage. For NEPTUNE metering and protection applications, the selection must be made from the low cost entries in Table II. The best of the low-cost approaches is the Hall Effect. Since there are several commercial sources of Hall sensors, this method is recommended for most of the NEPTUNE current measurements. The question of magnetization by fault current must be borne in mind when specifying the equipment. For ground fault detection in the loads, a voltage detection method similar to the one implemented at MBARI is recommended. Whether it should be balanced or should rely on switching must be decided by the power group. Two areas for investigation as student projects at UW are pointed out. It is recommended that a low-cost implementation of the current comparator be investigated, and a version of the force- balance. Some ideas are presented in Appendices A and B. Appendix A Implementing current comparator electronics The current comparator is a complex device. Although capable of outstanding performance (the NRC group in Canada has achieved uncertainties of 1 in 108), cost would seem to be a barrier to widespread use in NEPTUNE. Figure A-1 shows a block diagram of the electronics needed. oscillator ÷2 frequency magnetic circuit output ÷2 excitation synch low-pass frequency drive circuit detector filter feedback currents being compared Figure A-1. Current comparator block diagram In this diagram, each of the 5 "connections" to the magnetic circuit represents a winding on the toroid. The currents being compared may constitute a "single turn" winding, made by passing the conductor once through the center of the toroid. Note that an integrator may be included in the feedback loop. It changes the steady-state error, but not the principle of operation of the system. Some of the circuitry is similar to that in a high-performance electric field meter developed at JPL in the late 1980s. Both divide the oscillator frequency by 2 just to ensure signal symmetry. Both use synchronous switching to achieve the phase-sensitive detector function, both use filtering to reduce the noise bandwidth and extend the dynamic range. The complexity of the field meter was such that a fairly large circuit board was required. The current comparator can be expected to be similar. To reduce the cost of the current comparator, I wondered if a commercial product could be "cannibalized." The obvious choice was the fluxgate magnetometer. A fluxgate magnetometer, used to measure small magnetic fields and to make electronic compasses for navigation, uses much of the same hardware as the current comparator. The idea was first implemented in quantity in WWII as a way for low flying airplanes to detect submerged submarines, though it may have been around earlier. The biggest difference between a fluxgate magnetometer and a current comparator is that the sensing winding on the magnetometer is outside the toroid. It has to be, or the device would be insensitive to external fields. Figure A-2 shows the arrangement, drawn so as to resemble the current comparator. ÷2 oscillator frequency magnetic circuit output ÷2 excitation synch low-pass frequency drive circuit detector filter external magnetic field Figure A-2. Fluxgate magnetometer block diagram Unfortunately, while fluxgate magnetometers are commercially available, they seem to be expensive, and to use complex electronics. Although low-cost navigation compasses are available (for vehicles, for example), they use GMR (giant magnetoresistance effect) technology, not fluxgate technology. There may still be a way that some of the current comparator functions can be implemented in a commercial IC, however. There seems to be considerable overlap between the signal processing in the current comparator and that in an ordinary FM stereo receiver. In an FM stereo broadcast, the information for the two stereo channels is transmitted in such a way that a mono receiver can still perform adequately. Therefore, the mono signal, the sum of the left and right channels (L+R), is transmitted on a frequency modulated carrier, exactly as it was before the advent of stereo. In order to separate the channels, the difference (L–R) is transmitted separately, at a high enough frequency that the mono receiver will not respond to it. The L–R information is transmitted as an amplitude modulated signal on a 38-kHz subcarrier. For reasons of transmitter efficiency, the actual subcarrier is suppressed, however. Instead, a low-level pilot tone at 19 kHz (out of the passband of a mono receiver) is transmitted. This pilot tone allows stereo receivers to know that the signal is stereo even when there is no modulation on the subcarrier, and gives phase and frequency information to the AM detector. The spectrum of an FM signal therefore looks as shown in Figure A-3. 19 kHz 38 kHz pilot suppressed carrier L+R LR LR lower upper sideband sideband 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 frequency (kHz, linear scale) Figure A-3. Stereo signal spectrum As shown in Figure A-3, after the receiver's FM demodulator, there is a baseband signal extending to 15 kHz and containing L+R information. At 19 kHz there is a low-amplitude pilot tone, unmodulated. Either side of 38 kHz are the sidebands of an AM suppressed-carrier signal with the L–R information. The amplitude is such that after demodulation, the difference signal has the same amplitude as the sum signal. The AM signal is demodulated by a synchronous detector operating at twice the frequency of the pilot tone, and locked to it in phase. By adding the resulting L–R signal to the L+R signal, a pure L signal is obtained. By subtracting them, a pure R signal is obtained. These operations are shown in Figure A-4, drawn so as to resemble Figure A-1 as far as possible. stereo decoder IC oscillator ÷2 76 kHz frequency 38 kHz 19 kHz ÷2 phase synch low-pass frequency detector detector filter R L signal feedback L low-pass sum & outputs filter dfference R input signal Figure A-4. Stereo decoder IC block diagram Again, the oscillator frequency is divided by two just to ensure symmetry. The signal is detected by a synchronous detector, operating at twice the pilot tone frequency, and then passed through a low-pass filter. In fact, the similarity between the functions in Figures A-1 and A-4 leads one to wonder whether an FM stereo circuit would function as a current comparator. While I have not done the experiment, I am inclined to think it would, with the addition of a few components. There are a few differences between this arrangement and the current comparator. In the stereo IC, the oscillator phase is locked to the pilot tone, whereas in the current comparator it is free running. (It may turn out that this is a feature we can use.) The stereo IC contains sum and difference circuits the current comparator does not need. Perhaps this will not matter. The spectrum of the current comparator signal should contain nothing in the area of the baseband L+R signal, so that only the "L–R" signal should appear in the output. In fact, it should appear identically at both outputs. Figure A-5 shows a possible use of an FM stereo IC to do the hard work in a current comparator signal chain. stereo decoder IC oscillator ÷2 76 kHz frequency 38 kHz 19 kHz ÷2 phase synch low-pass frequency detector detector filter R L signal feedback low-pass sum & output filter dfference R input signal magnetic input signal circuit 19 kHz feedback oscillator ÷2 excitation 38 kHz frequency drive circuit currents being compared Figure A-5. Current comparator implemented with stereo decoder IC The circuit has been largely subsumed into the IC. An external oscillator is still needed, and must be operated to produce excitation at the pilot tone frequency. The stereo IC locks to that signal (which will be large relative to the desired signal), and performs the current comparator's detection functions. Difficulties may be experienced due to overload caused by the large size of the "pilot tone." Certainly, there should be no problem obtaining lock! Another problem may be the presence in the signal of significant energy at the third harmonic. Theoretically, the synchronous detection at 2f should eliminate all odd harmonics. An estimate of the comparator spectrum is shown in Figure A-6. 19 kHz drive 57 kHz frequency third harmonic 38 kHz second harmonic 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 frequency (kHz, linear scale) Figure A-6. Probable comparator signal spectrum In addition, it may be necessary to add a driver for the feedback loop to the magnetic circuit. Nevertheless, the component count is much lower than an conventional implementation would be, so it seems to be worth the effort of trying it. Appendix B Force-balance current measurement The measurement of current by balancing forces is an ancient technique. Lord Kelvin made one in around 1882, using a modified weighing-scale and six solenoids, and Lord Raleigh had a version using coils in the Helmholz arrangement, at around the same time. The method was in use at the Standards laboratories of both England and the US until the late 1940s as the method for standardizing the ampere. The principle is illustrated in Figure B1. balance beam series-connected coils balance weight Figure B1. Current Balance (after Rayleigh) In both the Rayleigh and Kelvin versions of the current balance, the force that is balanced is that due to gravity. In the 1880s this was thought to be pretty constant from place to place, and indeed the errors that assumption caused were not deemed important for many decades. A modern variation on the theme could differ in two important ways. First, the current in some of the coils need not be the measurand, it could be a control current, scaled in some suitable way. Second the balance – the restoration to zero deflection of some mechanical system – could be effected by feedback that is measured by some conventional means and becomes the system output. There would be several advantages: the overall system could be quite robust and inexpensive, and long-term variations in the stiffness of the deflection mechanism would be relatively unimportant, affecting the system sensitivity but not the accuracy, and immunity to large current overload could be by mechanical restraint. Figure B2 shows one possible implementation. The proposed system is scarcely more complex than a Hall effect system, and while would have a very poor frequency response, it would likely confer immunity to surge-current magnetization problems. anchor block deflection current drive measurement circuit feedback current restraint block current being measured Figure B2. Possible implementation of a Current Bridge The force-balance arrangement shown in Figure B2 is described as a current bridge because it works by achieving a zero deflection in the position of the middle coil. The position of the coil can easily be measured by a strain gauge, and doubtless other approaches would also work. The drive current required to achieve balance is proportional to the measurand, the coefficient of proportionality including also the number of turns in the various coils and the mutual inductance. These factors are not likely to change. The scheme has two major defects. Probably the biggest defect in the measurement is its expected sensitivity external magnetic fields. Since the magnetics are all air-cored, shielding must be provided to reduce interference with other such sensors in the area. The other problem is sensitivity to vibration. It may be possible to make a design that has some vibration immunity. How serious a problem this will be in NEPTUNE is hard to gauge, as there will likely be no vibration except during earthquakes and volcanic eruptions .

A Sunny Day in Glasgow
This globe-spanning psych-pop act turn separation—there was not one moment during the recording of their forever-morphing new album Sea When Absent when the entire band was in the same place at the same time—into a virtue.
By Ian Cohen , June 20, 2014
A Sunny Day in Glasgow: "In Love With Useless (The Timeless Geometry in the Tradition of Passing)" (via SoundCloud)
We've all been there: deep into a convoluted email chain that could probably be reduced to a three-minute conversation if everyone just talked it out in person. Still, you think you've got a sense of when to pay attention and when to tune out—and then, all of a sudden, the tone shifts completely (were you not CC'd?!) and you're scrambling to catch up. Do you go with the flow or backtrack to make sure your voice is heard?
To hear guitarist and de facto band boss Ben Daniels tell it, this is basically what it's like to be a songwriting member of A Sunny Day in Glasgow. "I'm kind of a legend on email, and the rest of the band is like, ugh." Singer/lyricist Jen Goma agrees. "We would have 17 versions of a song where the only thing that's changed is the type of reverb," she says, talking about the protracted exchanges that resulted in their fourth LP of uncanny psychedelic pop, Sea When Absent (which is out June 24 and now playing in full via Pitchfork Advance). To put a finer point on the ASDIG decision-making process, Daniels says that while he tries to keep things democratic, final calls often rely on "whoever writes back."
A Sunny Day in Glasgow: "Crushin'" (via SoundCloud)
This goes a long way towards explaining the strange dream logic that ASDIG songs tend to follow. The splintered interaction is a necessity as the band's six members are spread out across Australia, Brooklyn, and their original home base of Philadelphia; when Daniels, Goma, and I connect on a conference call, it's 8 a.m. in Sydney, 3 p.m. in Los Angeles, and 6 p.m. in Goma's Brooklyn. (Needless to say, ASDIG requires its members to be multitaskers and keep strange hours.)
Daniels is the one constant since the group's 2006 debut, The Sunniest Day Ever EP, and his off-balance production has resulted in him being tagged a "mad scientist," which is somewhat literal. Self-described as a "kind of Asperger's, sort of autistic, crazy, math-type," Daniels works as a biostatistician in Australia, where he most recently "created an algorithm to analyze chemotherapy drugs." Meanwhile, Goma was a featured vocalist on the latest Pains of Being Pure at Heart album, and also sings in the wiry, indie rockers People Get Ready. But both Daniels and Goma consider bassist Ryan Newmyer's job as a prop assistant to be the most interesting of the lot. According to Goma, "If Victoria's Secret is doing a photoshoot, Ryan has to go pick up all those roses and chaise lounges and set them up." Daniels chimes in, enviously, "He's hung out with, like, Madonna and Richard Branson."
In fact, there's a good chance Newmyer's hung out with actual celebrities more than the other members of A Sunny Day in Glasgow—there was not a single moment of Sea When Absent's recording when the entire band was in the same place at the same time. Fortunately, ASDIG made a prescient decision to enlist their first outside producer, Philly mainstay Jeff Zeigler (Nothing, War on Drugs, Purling Hiss), to institute boundaries on the band's overload of ideas. It's resulted in their most extroverted, collaborative album, both in terms of music and personnel, and has given this previously overlooked band an unprecedented amount of traction. As far as how ASDIG might capitalize on Sea When Absent, Goma shrugs: "That's never the topic of an email thread."

Pitchfork: Was there a protracted effort to make Sea When Absent more of a singles-focused album than your last record, Ashes Grammar?
Ben Daniels: When Ashes Grammar came out, I thought it was a really loud rock record for a year, and then a friend was like, "This is really chilled-out and ambient." So I don't really have any perspective on the new record yet, but I try to start with a declaration of principles, a mission statement. Your question made me dig up the original email I sent to the band back in October 2011, when we first started talking about recording. It's very funny to read this now because so much of it didn't come true. The big things in this email are "SIMPLIFY" and "CLARITY," and then I say that I shouldn't mix the album because that's usually where simplicity and clarity die. Inspirations I cite include Rhythm Nation 1814, Enya, and The-Dream. Then I say that drums and bass should be very prominent, with vocals being the most important thing, and maybe very little guitars. I conclude by calling for no songs over five minutes and saying that I'm sure we'll fail at anything like what I describe, but hopefully we'll do that in an interesting way. Plans never work!
A Sunny Day in Glasgow : "Bye Bye Big Ocean (The End)" (via SoundCloud)
Pitchfork: What was it like working with an outside producer for the first time on this new album?
BD: To be honest, I don't know what 90 percent of the stuff that [producer Jeff Zeigler] did was. He had a mixing board, he's got equipment from the 1940s, I don't know what he's doing with that.
Jen Goma: I love pitch-shifted things, and Jeff had a thing that could very instantly slow down anything that had just been recorded. Just for a laugh he would slow down the take that we just did, especially if there was a fuck-up in it, because it's that much funnier when it's in half time. But a bit of that actually made it on to the record.
BD: At one point, Jen had the flu and was just hacking her lungs out in the bathroom, so Jeff recorded that, and then he pitch-shifted it down. He then recorded Jen laughing at that pitch-shifted coughing, and that's at the end of "Double Dutch".
Pitchfork: Ben, have you ever considered producing for other people?
BD: I would probably try to talk them out of it. Actually, there was this website—I was told it's like the Russian Pitchfork—and they had some contest for Eastern European bands where you could win a chance to work with some cool indie band. And I was one of the prizes. There were real people too—Arcade Fire was in there. I think the grand prize was you got to work with Diplo. So I worked with this band from Belarus on a song.

Pitchfork: Philadelphia has become an epicenter for indie rock over the past few years, do you feel like you're missing out on the artistic community there?
BD: No. I am pretty antisocial and have difficulty communicating with other human beings. I know that if I were in Philly I'd still mostly be hanging out in my apartment reading books and playing with synthesizers. That said, I grew up in Philly, went to college in Philly, lived in Philly afterwards for a while—almost every formative experience in my life has happened in Philly. Whether I like it or not, Philly is all over everything I do for the rest of my life.
Pitchfork: What are intraband fights like in A Sunny Day in Glasgow?
BD: There's definitely a familial dynamic in ASDIG, and the fights are just as stupid as most family fights usually are.
JG: Some of my favorite stories are of me and Ryan disagreeing about a chair, or the origin of some inane "Simpsons" quote. There is also one of us who didn't watch "The Simpsons" growing up and they really hate it when we speak only in quotes from the show.
BD: It's funny, in 2012-2013 [guitarist/keyboardist] Josh [Meakim] and Ryan each went on tour with other bands, and they had a blast doing that, but they each separately told me how they missed this "support" aspect of ASDIG. [Vocalist/keyboardist] Annie [Fredrickson] just reminded everyone of our old tour blog, and I recently looked through it for the first time since 2010. I know we had loads of fights on those tours, but it mostly made me miss everyone and want to get in bed with everyone and watch That Thing You Do! at 2 a.m. in a motel.

Yes. Shoppers go CRAZY for Black Friday—seeking the uber-hyped deals the day after Thanksgiving—with some people even camping out overnight to be the first shoppers in the store the next day. This is NOT a productive way to spend Thanksgiving night. And as much as you might actually like a break from Cousin Irene, I'm here to tell you that Black Friday is an urban legend. It's a complete myth. A lot of the sale merchandise has actually already been on sale for even less at another time in the year.

(CAMERON) A Rockdale man was handed a state jail term this week among 7 cases disposed of in Judge John Youngblood`s 20th District Court.
According to a press release from District Attorney Bill Torrey, 44-year-old Thomas Ray Hobbs will serve 12 months in State Jail after entering a guilty plea to the State Jail Felony, Burglary of a Vehicle with Priors.
Among other cases from the past week:
JUSTIN LYNN PEREZ, 21, of Temple, was sentenced to ten (10) months confinement in the State Jail Division of TDCJ after pleading guilty to a State Jail Felony Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle
CHARLOTTE DENISE WASHINGTON, 52, of Rockdale, was placed on two (2) years Deferred Adjudication Probation with standard conditions of probation including Theft Aversion and was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and restitution after pleading guilty to a State Jail Felony Theft < $1,500 with Priors
LARRY WHITE, JR., 40, of Rockdale, was placed on three (3) years Deferred Adjudication Probation with standard conditions of probation including Theft Aversion and was ordered to pay a $1,500 fine and restitution after pleading guilty to a State Jail Felony Burglary of Building
PATRICK V. CUELLAR, 22, of Temple, was sentenced to two (2) years confinement in the State Jail Division of TDCJ, probated for three (3) years with standard conditions of probation including one hundred (100) days in the Milam County Jail and was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and restitution after pleading guilty to a State Jail Felony Theft $1,500 to $20,000
CHARLOTTE MICHELLE TABOR, 38, Cameron, was placed on four (4) years Deferred Adjudication Probation with standard conditions of substance abuse probation including the successful completion of SAFP and was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and restitution to the victim after pleading guilty to a 3rd Degree Felony Attempted Robbery

(CALDWELL) A Caldwell man will serve a prison term after stealing from his place of employment.
Christopher Deere, 43, was handed 8 years in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of Theft over $1500. Officials said an investigation began last February when the owner of Aggieland Tire and Repair reported nearly 30 unauthorized transactions on a company credit card. During the investigation, Deere admitted he`d taken at least $1800 worth of tires and parts from the store and later resold them. Deere will also have to pay restitution back to the company as part of his sentencing.
(BELTON) A truck on fire forced the evacuation of a local dollar store on Tuesday.
Belton Fire Department was called to the Dollar General on 6th Ave. about 5PM after a truck in the parking lot caught fire. Crews said the owners were inside the store when the truck suddenly went up in flames. No one was hurt and there was no damage to the building. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
(Austin) State lawmakers are at odds over a decision to move HIV and STD prevention cash to fund abstinence education. Houston Democrat Sylvester Turner asked Kaufman Republican Stuart Spitzer if he was bothered by people walking around undiagnosed with HIV. Spitzer says abstinence education is HIV prevention, even if Texas has a high rate of teen pregnancies. He was also challenged by Houston Democrat Harold Dutton Jr. on whether abstinence education worked in his personal life. Spitzer said his wife was the only woman he`s ever had sex with, and that was after they got married. He told "The Texas Tribune" Dutton`s questioning was inappropriate, but Dutton says Spitzer shouldn`t have used himself as an example.
(TX) Texans for Public Justice is planning to refile a criminal complaint against Attorney General Ken Paxton in Collin County. Director Craig McDonald tells "The Dallas Morning News" the move is being done because DA Greg Willis is stonewalling the investigation. He thinks that`s because Willis and Paxton are friends. The attorney general was fined a thousand dollars by the Texas State Securities Board last year for not registering with them. McDonald tried to get the Travis County DA`s office to investigate Paxton, but they turned the case over to Dallas and Collin counties. Dallas declined to prosecute. Collin County told "Houston Chronicle" they wouldn`t look into the case until local law enforcement investigates.
(ROCKDALE) Services have now been set for a Lee County Constable who died last week.
Services for Stephen Lyles, 59 of Lexington, will be 10AM Saturday at Phillips and Luckey Funeral Home in Rockdale. Visitation will be 1 hour prior to the service. Mr. Lyles was born in Rockdale and graduated from Spring Branch High School. He attended the University of Houston and Texas A&M. He worked for the Lee County Sheriff`s Office, Gray Tool, the VA Hospital, and Halliburton. He spent the past 5 years working as a Precinct 3 Constable for Lee County. Several nieces, great nieces, a nephew, and other friends and family also survive.

I think the guy getting pissed on at 112:14 is hella sexy....anyone know where that is from?
Where can I find 50 studs to do this to me?
The gorgeous perfect tattooed man at 17:30 is a real male! I would love to lick him from head to toes!
This video makes me thirsty!
nicer collection, shame there weren't more drinkers though. That's the best bit (for me).
I so would like to act in xtube gay film as piss bottom, I can drink pee from glass, or to faces, or to be a human seat. Is it possible as a little mascered? I am 44-y-o small gay, [email]firstname.lastname@example.com[/email]
Fabulous collection...Where does that last clip come from?
Thats totally hot for me. I never cant get enouph of piss.
And I'm just the one to teach them.

I can't believe all of these great-looking guys allowing friends to piss in their mouths. The taste of cum is so much sweeter than overly salty piss. I wonder how long it takes to develop a taste for piss.
Great piss collection.

Do you think I will get to add the rest in above 23 or do we never get there again?
140% you can be possibly wiped out here. Crazy!
Guy I am long VXX and bought pre-market at 21.59. I have sold that purchase at 22.22 and I am holding the rest of my bet right now LONG VXX
I think you will get a chance to short higher yes.
What do you think Wes? Could the market go down all day today?
nomo--You didn't ask me, but I think we get there next week. Was feeling bad about having a VXX long position, but think it is headed higher.
You must have a really small portfolio. That is the only way anyone would even consider shorting 140% of their portfolio with VXX. Must be less than $5000. If you have a $10,000 or more portfolio, then you better have a home equity line of credit to back you up if something unexpectedly rocks the markets.
If your portfolio is worth $50,000 to $250,000, then you are playing Russian roulette. If worth more than $250,000, then you are just plain stupid, and should have someone else manage your financial affairs!
Just because you can't do it doesn't mean other people can't do it. You don't strike me as being all that savvy a trader - yesterday you said you didn't even know why your broker limited your buying power. Really?
I just assumed he was short with options. I am very often more than 100 percent short with options.
i think ur going to want to cover ar $21
Should get there tomorrow. I expect $18 during April.

SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/15/13 -- DotNetNuke Corp. (DNN), the company behind the most widely adopted Web Content Management Platform for Microsoft .NET, today announced the beta availability of its Extension Verification Service (EVS). This new offering will empower all developers with a simple, easy-to-use service to test the compatibility of their extensions with different DNN versions and give buyers the ability to more quickly identify which are usable with their platform. Extensions can be in the form of an Authentication System Container, Dashboard Control, Language Pack (Core Language Pack or Extension Language Pack), Library, Module, Provider, Skin, Skin Object, Widget or any combination of the aforementioned that add new levels of customization to a website. Developers will also be provided with relevant guidance so errors can be quickly pinpointed and corrections easily made, thereby simplifying the advantage of DNN's extreme extensibility.
"As a Gold Certified partner and provider of DNN modules and websites, we already see the immense value DNN brings to our business -- especially in regards to its popular DNN Store. With EVS, we are able to improve the calibre of our products in an automated fashion, while affording customers greater confidence in the quality of their purchases," said Chris Risner, CEO of PackFlash and founding partner of BlueBolt Solutions. "Most importantly, we truly anticipate that DNN's EVS will help boost both sales and satisfaction of our products. This is yet another move from DNN that helps simplify my experience and the experiences of my customers."
As a cloud-based service, EVS simplifies verification testing for DNN modules, skins and more by testing minimum version compatibility with DNN and Windows Azure SQL Database. It also checks that extensions are properly built and packaged correctly, saving developers valuable time and providing buyers with clearer guidance regarding DNN platform version compatibility.
EVS is useful to all extension developers, including vendors who sell products through the DNN Store, a consultant, or corporate developer and includes capabilities suited to the type of extension being created. The service helps to ensure compatibility and quality of extensions with the different DNN platforms available today. Users of the Enterprise, Professional and Community editions can also leverage EVS free of charge and have the ability to upload any number of extensions for testing or re-testing. Users will see results displayed immediately, adding to the value and simplicity of the service. For future reference, results can also be downloaded or emailed to the user in three separate file formats including CVS, XLS, and XML.
"Extensibility is a hallmark of the DotNetNuke platform, so being able to test compatibility increases quality, reliability and provides a measure of future-proofing," said Shaun Walker, CTO and co-founder of DotNetNuke. "Use of the service to evaluate packages, check assemblies, and report incompatibilities is amazingly simple!"
Interested parties can register for the EVS beta here: //evs.dotnetnuke.com. DNN would also appreciate tester feedback at //bit.ly/evsfeedback.
Read more about EVS on the DotNetNuke blog.

Gov. Mark Dayton on Wednesday compared Minnesota's fight over child-care unionization to the national battle over the Affordable Care Act, saying conservative opponents to both programs will not accept a decision they disagree with.
In a speech before an organization of retired labor activists, and in comments afterwards, Dayton said both issues have been voted upon, challenged in court and upheld -- and yet opponents continue to battle to halt a vote on unionization and to halt the rollout of federal health care reform.
"There's no acceptance of the will of the majority, and there's no acceptance of the process of democracy, which is that you don't get your way all the time," Dayton said. "At some point you need to step aside and let things proceed."
He referred to an attempt to allow family child care providers to vote on unionization, a multi-year battle that is currently held up by an injunction. The National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation, whose goal is to eliminate "coercive union power," is providing legal defense. Multiple legal challenges, some successful and some not, have been filed to block the vote.
"There's a whole extreme right-wing element in this state and this country who believe they should dictate to people, 'No you don't have that chance, to vote for yourself,' " Dayton said.
Dayton said he sees the same problem with the Affordable Care Act, which some GOP members of Congress continue to try to repeal, even linking it to a possible federal government shutdown next week. This follows Obama's first election, passage of the law in 2010, an unsuccessful U.S. Supreme Court challenge and the re-election of Obama last year, Dayton noted.
"How many more affirmations do we want before we say, we don't all agree with this, but this is the policy, we're going to support it, we're going to make it happen," he said.
When he was in the U.S. Senate in 2003, he said, he and most Democrats voted against a Medicare drug coverage bill, but then worked to put it into effect after it passed. "We had our debate, took a vote, one side prevailed," he said. "That's the way democracy is supposed to work."
He added, "But they go out, as they spend millions and millions of dollars to try to destroy the Affordable Care Act, to try to destroy the health exchange here in Minnesota, to pick up on any little glitch and dump all over it...."

BuzzMedia to Announce Purchase of Spin Magazine: Source
BuzzMedia, which publishes Idolator, Stereogum, AbsolutePunk and KimKardashian.com, among other properties, plans to announce Tuesday that it is acquiring Spin magazine, according to a source inside one of the two companies.
A report that the company would buy the 27-year-old publication, which has changed hands several times over the years, was published in AdAge last month. Spin has been focusing on digital growth over the past several months, beefing up its online staff and increasing emphasis on news and commentary.
For its part, BuzzMedia has been increasing its presence in music over the past several months, hiring former Village Voice Media director of new media Bill Jensen as VP/GM for music, among other hires. The company bought longrunning dance-music title XLR8R late in May.
According to the source, BuzzMedia will evaluate the viability of the print magazine, adding that there is an expectation that the September/October issue of the magazine - with a planned Azalea Banks cover - may be its last in print before becoming a digital-only brand.
Billboard.biz will have more on this situation as it develops.
