The Elio is expected to get up to 84 miles per gallon on the highway and at least 50 miles per gallon in the city. Jerome Vassallo, Vice President of sales for the Elio Motors, says the fuel economy combines light we...

26 August 2009

It has been illegal to take the eggs of most wild birds since the Protection of Birds Act 1954 and it is illegal to possess or control any wild birds' eggs taken since that time under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
It is illegal to sell any wild bird's egg, irrespective of its age.
Possession of wild birds' eggs is an offence of strict liability. Anyone that chooses to be in possession of eggs is obliged to show, on a balance of probabilities, that their possession is lawful. For persons found guilty of any of these offences, Magistrates have the power to impose maximum sentences of £5,000 fine and/or six month's imprisonment per egg.
Despite the fact that legislation prohibiting the taking of certain wild birds' eggs has been in existence since 1880, the practice continues and, in the case of particularly rare birds, it can have serious implications for their conservation. Rare breeding species particularly vulnerable to egg collectors include Slavonian and black-necked grebes, ospreys, white-tailed eagles, red kites and red-necked phalaropes.
Collectors can devote their life to the pursuit of eggs and can become obsessed with the practice. They usually take the whole clutch of eggs, and may return for a second clutch. Rare species of birds are often targeted. An egg will rot if the contents are left inside, so eggs must be 'blown'. Collectors will take eggs at every stage of incubation, although freshly laid eggs are preferred as it is easier to blow out the yolk and the white of the egg.
Since the introduction of custodial sentences for these offences by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, a number of collectors have been sent to prison for up to six months. This appears to have had a positive effect in reducing egg-collecting activity in the UK and in 2008, the RSPB received just 36 reported incidents of egg collecting and egg thefts.
When compared to the 41 reports received in 2007, and that an average number of 66 reports were received between 2003 and 2007, this appears to be part of an encouraging downward trend that shows egg collecting is on the decline.
In spite of these encouraging signs, however, there are still active collectors at large and a number of significant illegally held collections. There is no doubt that with the passage of time more cases will come to light and there is some evidence that egg collectors are now operating increasingly abroad.

Sad about Ladies Code, RIP EunB and Rise
About SNSD, understandable that the members grow up and reach for new goals, but its sad that some members can go be actresses. others can perform in a sub unit and others can be TV and radio celebrities. But the member who is going off in a direction that SM can not take their 70% cut, is the member who is getting kicked out….
there's rumor going around that exo will lost another chinese member due to health reason …. SM will have huge loss this year….
neevix, looks like the rumours are true… SM is suffering a lot, but they don't treat their artists well (except maybe BoA), so they bring it upon themselves
then artists that stay must have had really strong determination. now that their stock price is going down, i'm worried the company will overwork their artist to make more money..

Wells Fargo aids in promoting children's hearing health
JENSEN BEACH - Wells Fargo has contributed $2500 to Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services of the Treasure Coast, Inc. (DHHS) which will be used to promote children's hearing health through the Dangerous Decibels Program. This generous donation will help DHHS to bring T.O.D.D into the many Treasure Coast elementary classrooms. T.O.D.D. (Turn Off Dangerous Decibels) is a demonstration mannequin who "listens" to children's MP3 players and tells them how loud they are! T.O.D.D. was donated by Macy's and has been retrofitted with prosthetic ears and a sound meter. T.O.D.D. is part of an overall program called "Dangerous Decibels" designed to teach children the dangers of noise induced hearing loss and responsible use of MP3 players.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services is nonprofit Treasure Coast Community Resource supported in part by the United Ways, Wells Fargo, Publix Supermarket Charities and private donations. DHHS has been providing services to the estimated 98,000 individuals with hearing loss in our community since 1988.
Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) is a nationwide, diversified, community-based financial services company with $1.3 trillion in assets. Founded in 1852 and headquartered in San Francisco, Wells Fargo provides banking, insurance, investments, mortgage, and consumer and commercial finance through more than 9,000 stores, 12,000 ATMs, the Internet (http://www.wellsfargo.com and http://www.wachovia.com), and other distribution channels across North America and internationally.

Artist: Lefty Frizzell
Album: Miscellaneous
Genre: Country
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said, "Son what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold is high, and eternity nears
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind mourns
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me, nobody knows but me, nobody knows but me

A new restaurant and bar has opened in the former Gringo's Mexican Restaurant space in downtown Cedar Rapids.
Syndicate Epicurean Pub, 207 First Ave. SE, had a soft opening on Wednesday and will begin its normal hours Monday, said owner�Kory Nanke.
Nanke said the restaurant will serve "elevated pub food," which �includes gourmet grilled cheese, bacon fondue, pizza and seared scallops.
There will be a revolving dinner menu, he said, including lobster macaroni and cheese and salmon. Craft beers with high alcohol contents will be served on tap, he said.
[nggallery id=328]
Nanke said he chose the former Gringo's space, which closed on June 13, because of it's interesting architecture features as well as its proximity to the U.S. Cellular Center and Theatre Cedar Rapids. He hopes to draw in crowds before or after shows.
The restaurant, which has a separate bar and dining area, can seat up to 120 people. He also plans to remodel the basement, putting in an additional bar that will most likely be used for private events and parties.
Nanke said he spent more than anticipated on the restaurant because he made substantial changes. He put in new wood floods, tables and booths.
Nanke has owned or operated several other Cedar Rapids restaurants, including downtown's Red's Public House,�C.R. Chophouse. which was in the Roosevelt building, Cabo Sports Bar and Grill, 2730 Edgewood Road. SW,�and Brick's Bar & Grill, 320 Second Ave. SE.
Clint Goodman will be the head chef. Goodman, who won Iowa Restaurant Association's Chef of the Year in 2006, worked with Nanke at the Cedar Rapids Chophouse.
Restaurant hours will be from 10 a.m. to midnight Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and closed Sundays.

Jack Carter on War & Peace |
A: I'm talking in the neighborhood of three to six months - I'm not talking long ways out there. As long as they're progressing in some way that makes it look like it's coming together, then that counts to me. But, they have to put something together that's going to work. If it's not, if they're going to intentionally just have the largest group control everything and squeeze out the others, then I'm out of there.
A: We do have a responsibility to do that. When you're dealing with people and a government, when you invade their country, there is an attachment there. I don't mean unqualified forever responsibility. The responsibility that I'm talking about only goes to the extent that the Iraqis help themselves. My policy is basically a carrot and a stick. If the government cannot work with the three different groups of people over there to form something that everybody feels like they've got a piece of, then nothing we do is going to help. If they can't do that in a relatively short period of time, then the stick is, we get out. The carrot is, if they can come together and have some sort of form where these, the Shiites & the Sunnis & the Kurds can all work together, if they can do that, there will be some economic benefit at the end of the process, and we'll give them some money, and we'll get other people to do that to help them along.

We think, had the genders been reversed, 'SNL' wouldn't make light of the potentially violent situation - and with Rihanna on board, we wonder if a domestic violence gag was in especially poor taste. Watch the video below.
In the sketch, Kenan Thompson (as Tiger Woods) appears bruised and battered while Blake Lively wields a golf club. Thompson says, "Right after my last press conference, I was in my home, having a chat with my lovely and deceptively strong wife Elin. I guess I wasn't looking where I was going and I fell down the stairs. I was disoriented from the fall, so I stumbled to the other side of the house and I launched myself through a plate glass window."
"Ja, says Lively, "this is what happened."

I'm with you algonquin, SNL hasn't deserved my time and attention for a long time but I just happened to have the tv on that station at the time and my hands were too busy to use the remote. I did find the skit entertaining though it would have been a different story if the sexes had been reversed.

The problem is that Woods, like many Republican politicians, get support from segments of the public that are attracted to their "squeaky clean" images.
If making bucks off that false image is part of a cynical financial strategy, then their "adventures" are more than fair game. - Tuesday 08 DecemberBy vic

Tiger woods is a republican politician? I always thought he was a golfer. On top of that he most likely voted for Obamba. Why are you bringing politics into tiger woods cheating on his wife? Maybe its a JFK, Bill Clinton,...... thing to cheat on their wives.

I'm surprised that after all the hoopla R. made over her abuse from her ex, the writers would use Tiger's dilemma to promote the violence played out on their show. SNL has hit a new low!!!! And R., Get on with your life. It happened, you recovered and have done all you can to help other women going through an abusive relationship! Forever, when I see your name or hear your music, I'll think of the abuse, not the artist. Not a good way to travel through your career.

I think what they were lampooning was not the possible domestic violence but the absurd explanations (like breaking back window to get him out of a car that didn't have any damage to the doors). The absurdity of the attempts to explain ARE funny!

Nothing like testimony from a racist Communist terrorist to endorse a racist left-wing boycott. It's no coincidence that most of the supportive statements seem to come from University of California faculty. The UC system has been repeatedly criticized for its anti-semitism problem.
The endorsements begin with a cynical act of Jewashing by listing the call for boycotting Israel by a professor who declares "I am a Jew."
Then we move on to…
Angela Y. Davis, Distinguished Professor Emerita, UC Santa Cruz

Yes, that Angela Davis.
The Communist terrorist had circulated a petition calling for a boycott of Israel back in 2011. She served on the bigoted Russel Tribunal and this kind of ugly rhetoric and activism against the Jewish State is nothing new for the Black Panthers she was associated with.
Now 16 percent of the American Studies Association's members have backed an Angela Davis petition against the Jewish State.

On June 23, the DOJ released a transcript of a message delivered by Attorney General Eric Holder in which he pledged to continue investigations of financial institutions "that knowingly facilitate consumer scams, or that willfully look the other way in processing such fraudulent transactions." These investigations are part of the DOJ's "Operation Choke Point," which has faced criticism from financial institutions and their advocates on Capitol Hill, and which payday lenders recently filed suit to halt. Opponents of the operation assert that the DOJ investigations, combined with guidance from prudential regulators, are targeting lawful businesses and cutting off their access to the financial system. In his remarks, the AG promised that the DOJ will not target "businesses operating within the bounds of the law," but vowed to continue to pursue "a range of investigations into banks that illegally enable businesses to siphon billions of dollars from consumers' bank accounts in exchange for significant fees." Mr. Holder stated that he expects the DOJ to resolve some of these investigations in the coming months.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fertilization (British English spelling: fertilisation) is what happens when a female's ovum (or "egg") joins together with a male's sperm and they form a zygote. Fertilization is also called conception.
In humans, biologists call a fertilized egg a zygote. It is called an embryo from 3–8 weeks (the embryonic period.) Then after 8 weeks, it is called a fetus. If it continues to grow normally it can eventually become a baby.
In animals, there are two types of fertilisation, internal and external. Internal fertilisation happens in the female body. External fertilisation happens outside of the body. Mammals and birds use internal fertilisation. Reptiles, amphibians and fish use external fertilisation.

A comment by Kevin reminded me of the real constraint (which the experts probably take for granted): this system is supposed to work on shared-memory multiprocessors and multithreaded CPUs. In both cases two or more threads within an address space can be active simultaneously. On a multithreaded CPU (in particular) there's only one TLB, so memory (including any memory specially handled by the kernel) is all held in common. The *only* thing available to a user privilege program which distinguishes the threads is the CPU register set. (Well, and the stack, which is a difference inherited from the value in the stack pointer register. But the stack pointer is not really going to help much to return a thread-characteristic pointer or ID.) So MIPS really do need to figure out which register can be freed up. Well, at least I know why now. Hope the rest of you aren't too bored! Dominic Sweetman Algorithmics Ltd http://www.algor.co.uk |

The malnutrition of children in Indonesia has been at the center of international attention for many years now. Although the number of stunted children is swiftly decreasing, the proportion of children suffering from malnutrition is still substantially high. There are more than 7.6 million children in Indonesia suffering from stunted growth. The number continues to increase due to natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that contribute to the increased levels of malnutrition in Indonesia. In the rural areas of Indonesia, children do not receive proper nutrition, resulting in poor health and physical development.The nutrition received during childhood is crucial since it is the phase when the children's bones are formed and other physical development takes place. A child's brain develops more in their first two years than any other period of their life, and as a result, the mother's diet is of utmost importance as it determines the child's development to his fullest potential. There are several factors that contribute to the level of malnutrition in Indonesia. Education, hygiene, negligence of parents, natural disasters and unhealthy alternatives contribute to the poor statistics. One of the major reasons behind this problem is also the dependence on milk. Several other factors that affect the number of stunted children are the dependence on street food, ignorance and poverty. Parents belonging to the lower strata of the society are unable to afford daily necessities and prefer not to spend their money on food, thus resulting in stunted growth of their child. They rely on street food that costs around Rp 2,000 (20 US cents) per meal.These types of food contain no essential nutrients that enhance and accelerate a child's bodily growth. A child needs calories, calcium, iron and solid nutrition that is provided by fruits, vegetables, fish, chicken, etc. to grow healthily. A proper diet and cannot be substituted with formula milk, instant food and street food. Joy Gracia HaryantoJakarta

Summer, 2011,
Course Syllabus
Michael Tolan
3 Semester
Credit Hours
Michael Tolan,
COE instructor and catalog librarian, E.Y. Berry Library. Phone, 605.642.6356; email, firstname.lastname@example.com. Note, while I am an instructor in the College
of Education (COE), my office is not in the COE, and is located in Berry
Library (main floor, back left corner, #102). During summer
sessions I can usually be found in Berry Library, 8:00-1:00 & 3:00-5:00
p.m., week days. Students are encouraged to email (preferred) or
telephone questions any time, and during summer sessions to consider all of the
above stated hours my office hours.
DESCRIPTION, BRIEF (from the BHSU Academic Catalog): Students will learn the tools
and techniques employed in the organization of information for library use.
Covers the theory and application of basic principles and concepts of
descriptive cataloging, determination of access point, the Dewey Decimal and
Library of Congress classification systems, the Sears and the Library of
Congress Subject Headings, and provides the use of OCLC instruction,
representative problems, and practice.
DESCRIPTION, FULL: The
purpose of this course is to offer a practical introduction to the
bibliographic description of information. This course examines the
application of standards and rules to the creation of bibliographic and
authority records as used in the universally-accepted MARC (MAchine
Readable Cataloging) format. All major resources and tools
used in the cataloging of materials will be introduced and incorporated as
needed to prepare students for an understanding of, and practical use of the
creation, enhancement, and editing of bibliographic records, as used in library
automation systems around the world. Students will examine a wide array of
materials, learn to identify and organize them by standardized classification
(Dewey Decimal & Library of Congress systems) and subject (Sears List of
Subject Headings & Library of Congress Subject Headings) systems, and also
describe the documents in accordance with standardized rules (International
Standard for Bibliographic Description) and codes of citation (Anglo American
Cataloging Rules). Assignments will be offered in a fashion that
simulates the real-world cataloging work done in small school, public, and
academic libraries. The subsequent MARC bibliographic records will be
edited and customized for local database use, and also analyzed in conjunction
with coursework covering the role and use of bibliographic utilities (OCLC,
etc.), and what role this work plays in public-access of derived information in
networked library content (Worldcat, etc.). The
intent of the class is to provide a sound introduction to practical cataloging
& classification work in an automated library, using both traditional &
online resources.
PREREQUISITES: None.
TECHNOLOGY SKILLS & D2L SET-UP: Students need a basic computer and internet skills
applicable to an online course in the computer cataloging of library materials
(standard MARC cataloging will be done on a simple form, accessible via
Microsoft Word). Students need to routinely work with files, forms,
documents, and attachments. LIBM 443/543 will be offered entirely through
the internet, via D2L instruction management software. Students will need
to establish their own BHSU D2L user ID and password @: https://iis.bhsu.edu/studentlogin/index.cfm.
This I.D./Password set-up is used for off-site access to Berry Library
databases & interlibrary loan.
TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES: Students
need regular access to a computer with internet connection; no special software
purchases or database fees are required. Students need Internet Explorer,
Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe viewer (or comparable products).
ASSISTANCE: If
you cannot connect to the D2L server, please contact D2L Administrator Terry
Hupp (605-642-6038). If you need general information on BHSU Instructional
Technology Department, please visit the campus website http://iis.bhsu.edu/ITS/. If
you have functioning internet access but cannot load or view class-related
documents (readings, forms, assignments, email attachments, etc.) or any files
associated with LIBM 443/543, contact your instructor, Michael Tolan @
605.642.6356 & firstname.lastname@example.com
METHODS: This
course is fully online and instruction is via D2L. Instruction will
combine specialized readings, introductory and preparatory writings by the
instructor, and required and supplementary texts, all of which are used to
prepare students for creating and editing bibliographic records using online
resources. Numerous real-world exercises and practical problem solving
will connect the readings to library work as seen in Worldcat,
OCLC, SDLN's ALEPH system, etc. This course is completely "open
book" (any text, guide, resource, or website may be used at any time for
every assignment and project). Please note: This is not a
self-paced course; see D2L for the date-specific "Course Calendar".

TEXTBOOK "ACCESS": It is essential
that students arrange for access to traditional cataloging tools from their
local public, school, or college library (copies are available for in-library
use at BHSU, Spearfish Public Library, Sturgis Public Library, etc.; I may be
able to have books placed on reserve at the South Dakota School of Mines &
Technology and/or a central location in Sioux Falls). You will not
need or use these books every day or week of the course. Most students use each title 1-2 times (minimum, Assignments 5
& 7) before moving to online resources. Many libraries own
these resources in some form or edition. Often, they are uncataloged and hence not found in the
library's online catalog or OPAC. Since they are usually reserved for staff
use and kept in staff offices for database work, you will probably need to
speak to the technical services librarian or library director to request use of
them. Most libraries will allow patrons to use these resources. Usually,
they can`t be checked out but can be consulted during normal library
hours. If you are employed as a teacher, you might be able to borrow
these materials from your school/librarian for summer use, since the facility
is likely closed at this time (as the quality and user-friendliness of some
school library automation systems has greatly improved, many school librarians
have decided not to buy these expensive materials and instead spend those
resources elsewhere, so you might need to rely on a public library). If
you cannot arrange for access to these key resources, please contact your
It is
essential that students have or have access to a recent version of both the Dewey
Decimal Classification System, and also Sears List of Subject Headings.
The specifics are as follows: Abridged Dewey Decimal Classification
and Relative Index (the 1-volume, mini-"Dewey", preferably ed.
14, but ed. 13 can be used if necessary; published by OCLC; ISBN's for 14th
& 13th ed. are 0910608733 & 0910608598) or Dewey
Decimal Classification and Relative Index (the 4-volume, unabridged, full-"Dewey",
preferably ed. 22, but ed. 21 can be used; published by Forrest Press; ISBN's
for the 22nd & 21st ed. are 0910608709 & 0910608504). Also, students
will need access to Sears List of Subject Headings (preferably ed.
19 or 18, but ed. can be used if necessary; published by H. W. Wilson, ISBN's
for the 19th, 18th & 17th ed., respectively, are 082421076X, 0824210409,
& 0824209893). Again, if you cannot locate the books at any library
within reasonable driving distance, please contact your instructor. If
some students cannot locate these materials, then I will extend the due dates
for assignments using these resources, and books will have to be routed
student-to-student, or sent out on interlibrary loan. Most students can
locate Dewey materials, though the Sears book requires more searching.
ATTENDANCE, DISCUSSION, DISTANCE LEARNING & THE BHSU STUDENT HANDBOOK: This is not a self-paced
course. ALL readings, introductory comments, explanations, summaries,
lessons, and assignments are readily available on D2L. Daily attendance
is almost a necessity, given the progressive nature of cataloging &
classification work. This, combined with this course usually being
offered in the much faster-paced summer session, creates an overwhelming
incentive for students to plan their instruction, preparation, and projects
entirely off the "Course Calendar" document on D2L, which comes
complete with daily outlines and summaries. LIBM 443/543 is not as
conducive to "Discussion Boards" as are many other education and
library media courses, so it plays a less prominent role here.
Nevertheless, students are expected to introduce themselves and partake in
discussions, all of which are outlined on the Course Calendar (you will need to
post comments on each of the topics and reply to other comments if they address
matters you introduced, etc.). Students are expected to treat this online
class the same as they would any traditional classroom-based course. The
reason for this is that online courses usually require of the student much more
self-motivation and self-management than traditional on-campus courses.
Students are encouraged to read the first two parts of the "Frequently Asked
Questions" section on the Distance Learning website, if curious as to whether
online courses are a good match for them, personally, @: http://www.bhsu.edu/Academics/DistanceLearning/FAQs/tabid/604/Default.aspx.
If students have questions regarding the larger issues of BHSU student life
(learning, living, technology, safety, etc.), please consult the Student Life /
Student Handbook @: http://www.bhsu.edu/StudentLife/Learning/tabid/747/Default.aspx
COMMUNICATION (CONTACTING YOUR INSTRUCTOR): When contacting your
instructor, email is the preferred mode of communication. Weekdays, I
normally answer email at least 2 times per day. On weekends it is usually
once, Sunday evenings. In the summer I am usually in the Berry Library
8:00-1:00 & 3:00-5:00 p.m., weekdays, though often I am not near my office
telephone. Unless you believe you need someone to help "talk you
through" something, or if you are having technical problems and suspect
you are not receiving all your email messages (in which case you should
definitely use the telephone until we can confirm you have full email functionality),
please send your questions, comments, etc., via email: firstname.lastname@example.com
SUBMISSIONS (ASSIGNMENTS, PROJECTS, Etc.)
(TURNAROUND TIME ON EMAILS, ASSIGNMENTS, PROJECTS, etc)
& ACADEMIC HONESTY (IN AN OPEN-BOOK COURSE): The course is built around
lengthy assignments, which require the use of technical manuals, textbooks, and
related documents. Because of this, the entire course is "open
book". There are no quizzes or exams. Students are
encouraged to use appropriate books or websites, at any time, for any
course-related work. The overriding requirement is that students are
expected to do their own work. The core of this course is not a written
paper, thesis, or lengthy essay examinations, but rather a collection of assigned
tasks and bibliographic records created or edited by the student, addressing
real-world problems, as well as various scenarios created by the
instructor. Unlike most academic courses, in descriptive cataloging it is
permissible, and in many cases recommended, that students incorporate the work
(records) of others into their assignments and cataloging projects, without
citing them in any fashion (citing it within the MARC record is not permitted
without violating the AACR2 cataloging rules). Cataloging exercises and
examples are expected to be the result of the student`s own research,
compilation, analysis, and editing. Due to the nature of the subject
matter and design of this course, as traditionally defined, it is impossible to
commit an act of plagiarism in LIBM 443/543. The fundamental requirement
is simply that the cataloging work offered by you was located, assembled,
created, and/or edited by you alone. As long as this criterion is met,
there are no "academic honesty" concerns.
& LATE-WORK POLICY: Due
to the progressive nature of this course, submitting late assignments is
very strongly discouraged. Late work will receive only partial
credit. A point is deducted for every day an assignment is late
(every assignment is worth 20 points). In the event that a student is not
able to deliver items on time due to extreme circumstances or personal
hardship, the instructor may make special arrangements. You need regular
feedback to do well in this class, and that feedback is best seen in response
to the numerous assignments given in this course. If you submit late
work, you extend your time spent without instructor feedback. Assignments
are always considered late after 7 days from when they are given (see the
course calendar file on the D2L Contents page for specific dates for each
assignment). Students are strongly encouraged to submit assignments
the day or day after they are given; failure to complete assignments in
a timely fashion not only lowers your grade but also makes progress in the
course especially difficult. For example, the knowledge gained from
assignment #4 and the associated readings, is required for completing
many subsequent assignments and the final project. Not doing work
promptly, in the order it is assigned, makes the course unnecessarily
difficult. For the most part, course content in LIBM-443/543 is
cumulative in nature, meaning it is very difficult to make up for time missed
by doing extra work near the completion of the course. This is true in
the normal semester timeframe but especially true in the faster-paced summer
and organize materials according to the Dewey Decimal Classification
and Library of Congress Classification systems. |

Description This invention relates to a house arrest monitoring system having improved tamper detection. The increasing use of house arrest sentences as a substitute for incarceration has generated a need for reliable monitoring systems. To accomplish the primary purpose of checking to see if the monitored subject is abiding by the terms laid down by the judicial system, the personal monitoring system must not only be reliable, but also not capable of being easily defeated. The typical system is comprised of a securing strap which affixes an electronics module to a limb of the subject. The strap includes a conductor which completes an electrical circuit. Attempts to remove the attachment from the subject generally require that the strap be severed or decoupled from the module. The ingenuity of monitored subjects has resulted in the defeating of monitors which rely solely on the detection of a change in the impedance of conductors in the strap. For example, the immersion of a portion of the strap in an ionic liquid such as salt water followed by decoupling has been found to defeat many of the monitoring systems. The subject having successfully tampered with the monitor is then free to move about and replace the monitor at his convenience. To avoid the defeating of the system by an immersion technique, there have been proposed a number of systems utilizing electrical reactance measurements between a pair of conductors in the strap to determine a tamper condition. Also, attempts have been made to utilize the characteristics of the body of the subject such as skin temperature to establish a normal operating condition. Any change in the monitored quantity detected over a number of tests indicates a tamper. The electrical measurement of body characteristics call for complex circuitry and leads to unreliable performance. Accordingly, the present invention is concerned with the provision of an electric module and a securing strap for a monitoring condition which utilizes a plurality of conductors in the strap and establishes a voltage pattern for the conductors in the strap. Any variation in the pattern from that established is readily determined in the module to provide an indication of the tamper condition. The present system establishes a pattern of open and closed circuit conditions for the conductors in the strap. The pattern is preferably varied over time to defeat attempts to avoid detection by the bridging of conductors in the strap. In addition, the monitoring system is responsive to an optical reset signal after tampering only after the reset circuit has been initialized. Initialization is provided by a contacting device which is operated by the monitoring agent or officer. The present invention is directed to a house arrest monitoring system wherein an electronics module is affixed to the limb of the subject by means of a strap containing a plurality, preferably six, of embedded conductors. The strap includes electrical connectors at each of its ends which are received in mating electrical receptacles in the housing for the module. The electronics module includes a transmitter for periodically providing the signal which informs the central monitoring station that the subject remains in the prescribed area. In addition, the module includes a microprocessor coupled to the connectors at the opposing ends of the strap. At one connector, the microprocessor establishes a voltage pattern for the plurality of conductors with sensing of the pattern occurring at the other connector. Preferably, adjacent conductors in the strap do not have the same applied voltage with alternate conductors having a low or no voltage applied thereto. In addition, the microprocessor is programmed to vary the applied voltage pattern over time to further render the system difficult to tamper with undetected. The microprocessor applies the voltages to selected non-adjacent conductors at one end of the strap and detects the pattern existing in the conductors at the opposing end of the strap. In the event that agreement does not exist over a period of time, the transmitter is directed to indicate that a tamper condition exists. Normally, this condition is indicated by sending a tamper code signal to the receiver. The present system utilizes a novel resetting procedure before a reset of the monitoring operation takes place. The module includes a reset circuit triggered by the application of an initializing signal from a hand-held unit. The initializing signal enables a photo responsive circuit to respond to an optical reset signal. The optical reset signal instructs the microprocessor to test the strap and, if a correct reading is obtained, initiate a reset code to the system receiver. The hand-held unit is programmed to require the application of the correct user code before delivering the initializing signal to the module. Thus, the resetting of the monitoring system cannot be accomplished without the proper party using the appropriate unit. The utilization of a plurality of embedded conductors in the strap coupled with the ability to apply a time-varying pattern of high and low voltages to selected conductors therein renders the subject invention essentially immune from the well-known tamper activities of monitored subjects. The voltage pattern simulates a pattern of open and closed circuits in the strap encircling the limb of the subject which renders the immersion and bridging techniques ineffective to defeat the system. By varying the pattern on the conductors, successful tampering without altering the electronic circuits in the module does not take place. Attempts to tamper result in the transmitter being directed to indicate that a tamper condition exists. The tamper condition is indicated until reset occurs. The combination of an initializing signal and optical reset signal prevent the restart of the system enabling the central monitoring apparatus to recognize that a tampering of the system has taken place. Further features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing. FIG. 1 is an electrical block schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of the strap and electronics module of one embodiment of the invention. FIG. 3 is a side view of the electronics module shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a view in perspective of the strap shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is an electrical schematic diagram of the embodiment of FIG. 1. FIGS. 6-7 are views in perspective of a hand-held unit used for resetting operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2. Referring now to FIG. 1, the block schematic diagram of the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a strap 11 for encircling a limb of the subject being monitored. The strap is connected at each of its ends to a mating receptacle in the housing of the electronics module 12. Module 12 is shown including a logic and polling microprocessor circuit 14 coupled to power supply 16 and clock circuit 15. The power supply is a battery contained within the housing of the electronic module 20 as seen in FIG. 2. Also, transmitter 17 is located within the housing 20 and, in normal operation, transmits a signal to a local receiver (not shown) whereupon it is detected to indicate that the subject with monitor attached is within the designated area. The local receiver is typically accessed via the telephone line by a central monitoring station. Since the goal of the system is to determine if the subject with monitor attached remains within the prescribed area during a predetermined period of time, it is customary for the transmitter to operate periodically rather than on a continuous basis to reduce the rate of energy consumption. In addition to determining when the monitor has left the prescribed area, it is necessary that the monitoring device indicate when it has been tampered with by removal from the monitored subject. The present system provides such an indication by utilizing a multiple conductor strap, applying a voltage pattern to the multiple conductors, varying the pattern according to the program in the microprocessor, monitoring the voltage pattern on the multiple conductors and detecting change in the pattern. A disconnecting of one of the connectors 21 from the corresponding receptacle 22 in the housing 20 of the electronics module disturbs the voltage pattern on the individual conductors in the securing strap by indicating that all conductors are open circuits. Similarly, the immersion of the entire device in an ionic liquid followed by a disconnect of the securing strap from the housing results in all conductors showing a completed or short circuit condition via the liquid. A similar result is obtained if the subject were to attempt to bridge the gap created by removal of the connector from the receptacle with a single conductor insert which would result in a short circuit of the individual conductors in the strap 11. The strap 11 is advantageously formed from a section of six wire conventional telephone line with the standard connectors affixed to each end. This type of securing strap is easy to affix to the subject, durable, low in cost and the connectors can be readily attached at the site after the strap length is determined. The strap is shown in FIG. 4 with a mating receptacle 22 for a standard six wire connector shown in the side view of housing 20. A support band, not show, is used to affix the electronics module 20 to the limb of the subject. A region 25 of reduced thickness is formed in the housing 20 to accommodate the support band which normally encircles leg of the subject. The opposing surface 26 of the housing 20 is curved to fit more comfortably on the subject. The housing 20 is also provided with external electrical terminals 31 which contact the prongs 36 on the hand-held reset device 35 of FIG. 6. Also, an aperture 32 is provided in housing 20 to receive an optical reset signal. The aperture 32 is preferably aligned with respect to prongs 36 so that the hand-held reset device 35 can be utilized to initialize the system by means of an electrical signal applied via prongs 36 followed by application of the optical reset signal without requiring a change in position. As will be noted in FIG. 1, a reset circuit 18 is incorporated in the electronics module to enable the system to resume operation after a disabling event, either intentional or through an unauthorized tamper. The alignment of the reset device 35 with the housing for the electronics module is shown in FIG. 7 wherein prongs 36 make contact with terminals 31 and the path of the optical reset signal is shown by the dashed line extending between the reset device and the housing. The hand-held reset device is provided with a keypad 38 to control the use of the device with the preferred embodiment. The operator seeking to initiate operation of the electronics module and transmitter therein is required to enter a multi-digit code to activate the device when it is in place on the subject and to apply an initializing voltage, e.g. 24 volts, between the prongs 36. To aid in the operation of the reset device, a series of colored lights 34 are used to guide the operator. In the embodiment shown, the entry of the correct code via the keypad causes a yellow light to turn on. Then, upon firm contact of the prongs 36 with terminals 31 a red light flashes to show contact between devices and that the initializing signal has been sent to the electronic module. The initializing signal tells the microprocessor to look for the optical reset signal and to test the band by applying the same signal to all conductors in the securing band to verify that the connectors are properly secured in the mating receptacles. The third light is green and is used to conduct a test of the strap before the system is placed in operation. The optical signal transmitted to the module is typically an uncoded series of pulses. The use of a separate reset circuit, for example an optical isolator circuit such as an NEC 2701 circuit, is used to prevent static conditions from jolting the subject or the subjects own activity from generating a static charge which will harm the circuits. Thus, the initialization signal is isolated from the electronics module. The reset signal is a series of signal pulses which render a phototransistor in the electronic module conductive and activate the microprocessor and transmitter. In operation, the band with its six conductors has three non-adjacent conductors at a present voltage level while the other three non-adjacent conductors have no applied voltage. The voltage pattern is applied at one end of the securing strap and the voltage pattern at the other end is compared. In the event that the voltage patterns differ, the microprocessor generates a signal for the transmitter to indicate a tamper condition. The polling of the condition of the securing band occurs in this embodiment every 0.1 sec. While the securing band has six conductors with three simulating an open circuit and three simulating a closed circuit, it is to be noted that the simulation is provided by the microprocessor applying voltages to only selected conductors and that physically all six conductors are in fact connected between the receptacles and are in use. The microprocessor is preferably used in a manner which varies the three conductors in each set to increase the difficulty in successfully tampering with the system. By alternating the voltage applied to adjacent wires, the opportunity to defeat the system by the use of jumpers is essentially eliminated. The individual wires are small in diameter and closely spaced within the external sheath. While three conductors are preferred due to availability of low cost conductive securing straps, the number can be changed if conditions dictate. In operation, three conductors for each condition have been found to provide the necessary redundancy to eliminate false triggering. In the event that the voltage pattern sensed does not coincide with the pattern established, the microprocessor is programmed to cease testing until reset is initiated by an authorized agent. The electronic circuit is shown in FIG. 5 in block schematic form wherein the reset circuit 42 which is comprised of an optoisolator circuit is coupled via zener diode 41 and current limiting resistor 43 to the external terminals 31 on housing 20. The zener diode has a present threshold voltage and the hand-held reset device is designed to provide an appropriate voltage between prongs 36. When the reset circuit 42 is initialized, the signal provided to the microprocessor 50 is low and conditions the microprocessor to receive a signal from photo transistor 51. The optical pulse signal enters the housing 20 at aperture 32 and renders transistor 51 conducting. In this embodiment, the microprocessor is a Model P1C 16 LF84 made by Micro Chip Technologies and is provided with a crystal 53 resonator for the internal clock signal. The microprocessor is coupled to groups of three conductors. It applies the voltage pattern to one group and polls the opposing end to determine if there is a variation in the pattern. In the event that a variation is detected, a signal is provided to the transmitter to tell it to indicate a tamper condition. At this time, all polling of the conductors is terminated. The subject invention relies on the generation of open and closed circuit conditions on multiple conductors in a strap. The use of multiple conductors enhances reliability and reduces the ability of the subject to successfully tamper with the system. By alternating the application of open and closed circuit conditions and changing the polling accordingly, defeating the system by tampering is essentially impossible. While the foregoing description has referred to a particular embodiment of the invention, it is to be noted that modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.
